Summary: What if Naruto had been hiding his skills the entire time, right up until his graduation from the academy? What if he was given scrolls on countless techniques in secret? What if the Shinigami made a deal with the Yondaime? AU Naruhina

When Sandaime woke up he was looking at a sight he had not seen in decades.
The hospital room ceiling.
"Oh, Sandaime-sama, you're awake."
The Sandaime closed his eyes sighing. 'Well at least I know that that was no ordinary scroll that hit me. Only scrolls that contain messages from spirits are that heavy,' he thought. "How long was I out for, Alaina?"
"About 2 weeks Sandaime-sama."
'Must have been important for Arashi to have put such a heavy message up there,' he thought. "Thank you, but now I need to find that scroll that hit me."
"Oh, here it is, Sandaime-sama," said Alaina while reaching into the closet to reveal a large scroll.
"Thank you, Alaina but if you don't mind it might be best if you not be in the room when I open this," he said. He still hadn't forgotten some of Arashi's pranks. they were enough to to make hardened wartime veterans, well, take a dump or two.
He sat on the bed with the scroll on his lap. Biting his thumb he smeared some blood on the seal that had been placed on the scroll. It didn't open. Puzzled, Sarutobi used an analyzing jutsu on the scroll. It glowed green signifying that there were no jutsu's in place on the scroll except for a powerful blood seal that was already deactivated. Frowning, he manually opened the scroll and quickly found that he needed to get a better analyzing jutsu.
The Third Hokage now resembled a younger version of himself before started learning from the Shodaime and Nidaime with the addition of the wart that was know always on his face along with the smell of a dirty diaper and bright pink Haruno hair.
'If I ever get my hands on Arashi, I'm gonna...(we apologize for the inconvenience, however these words cannot be repeated in a fan-fiction of this rating)...!!!'
Venting complete, Sandaime removed the prank, and returned to the scroll.
Hey jiji,(old man)
I bet you're wondering what this is all about. Well guess what. I can't tell you. (Sandaime face-plant) NOT!! Haha!
Okay time to be serious. The reason as to why you're reading this is because I changed the jutsu that we had agreed on. Instead of simply sealing the Kyuubi and slowly fusing it's power with Naruto's, the seal is now designed to isolate the Kyuubi from any influence, from Naruto and anything or anyone else. However it also constituted a deal with the Shinigami(Death God) that his abilities would be tested twelve years after the sealing. This time gave my spirit enough time to become strong enough to exist among the living as well as train him myself after I came back. If he passes the test he will be given complete control over the Kyuubi and all Demons and foxes under its domain. ("Well that doesn't sound too bad.") I know, doesn't sound too bad, right? Well if he fails the test then both he and the Kyuubi will be partially fused together and killed by the Shinigami.
But hey, enough of the depressing stuff. The Shinigami doesn't just test on ninja strength, and from what I've seen Naruto has pretty much already passed the test if it only concerns his personality. believe me, the Shinigami thinks its unfair that he is instinctivly noble, and self-sacrificing, not to mention inspiring confidence in those that are around him.
I'll report back in a year,
Kazama Arashi.
Yondaime Hokage.
P.S.:Naruto is my son. Don't tell him. Yet.(Sandaime chuckles)
P.S.S.: The rest of this scroll contains the jutsu's that I'm going to teach Naruto. Give it to him for me, will yah.
P.S.S.S.:I like the new look, it suits you.
Sandaime looked in a mirror and saw that the 'look' had been reactivated. He muttered under his breath, "You're going to pay for that one Arashi." He dispelled the jutsu and looked to see that it was gone. Seeing that it was, he rolled up the scroll and checked himself out of the hospital, all the while wondering why people were looking at him funny.
Of course he still hadn't noticed that his "look" was back.
Hiashi looked across the table in the Hyuuga Council Room at the one person who kept thwarting his plans to free both of his daughters from the threat of the Hyuuga Branch Seal, Hyuuga Yugarachi. The man hated Hiashi for costing him his wife, Hyuuga Muraka, when she had died defending Hiashi in the Konoha-Iwa(Leaf-Rock) War.
'Not this time Yugarachi.'Hiashi thought, 'This time Arashi has given me the perfect oppurtunity.'
-FLASHACK-
Hyuuga Hiashi was not a happy man, he had hoped that by being hard on Hinata that she would have gotten stronger. Long story short: not happening.
Of course, fate, or in this case a certain prankster ghost, decided to step in.
BONK!!
And this is how Hyuuga Hiashi wound up in the Hyuuga medical ward for a week with cat ears on his head.
-END FLASHBACK-
'Oh, Yugarachi, you are going down,' thought Hiashi with an unusually maniacal mental grin, invisible cat ears waving atop his head.
"I hereby call this meeting to order to discuss the problem presented to myself by the council concerning my daughter, Hyuuga Hinata. I have a solution." Hiashi opened the scroll from Arashi and started to read out loud to the room, the occupants of which, with the exception of Hiashi, had just had thier clothes tie-dyed.
Hyuuga Hiashi,
And the Hyuuga council if your there,
The following contract was laid out by myself and Hiashi in an attempt to bind our lines together. If one of us were to have a daughter and a son that lived to age six, and were of the same generation, then they would become betrothed. However, there are a few loopholes. First, if they love someone else then they have every right to cancel the marraige. Second, even if this happens, the young lady must be transfered to the other clan at the age of sixteen.
But there are also restrictions to the contract. First, no seal can be placed upon the young lady without the young man's permission. Second, they are to be informed of the contract at the age of twelve or preferably before if they are deemed ready.
Kazama Arashi.
Yondaime Hokage.
P.S.: check your shirts Hyuugas.
Oh, yes, it was good to be a ghost.
Naruto was coming home from his first day at the Ninja Academy when it happened.
"Ow!" he said, clutching his head and falling to his knees. 'The pain!'
"Hey, are you okay?" asked someone off to his right. Looking over there he saw a Ramen Bar called Icharaku's. An old man was the one who had called out to him.
Smiling, he yelled back, "Yeah I'm okay. Just a headache."
"Well then get over here and I'll give ya a bowl of ramen. On the house," said the man.
"Really? Thanks!"
The old man chuckled as Naruto sat down, remembering another blonde that had liked ramen as well. "What's your name, kid?" he asked.
"My name's Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm gonna be the best Hokage ever!" said Naruto.
"Well my name is Tuechi Icharaku, owner of Icharaku's. And this is my dauhter, Ayame," he said as he pointed at a pretty, young girl behind the counter, "Pleasure to meet you Naruto." 'This kid is going to to be great. Without a doubt.'
"Right back at ya Tuechi-san." Then Naruto passed out without warning, startling the ramen chef.
-In Naruto's head-
Naruto woke up in a hallway. The floor was flooded, and water dripped from overhead pipes. An evil sounding voice was ringing out through the hallway. "YOU'RE CRAZY YONDAIME! THE ONLY WAY THAT I'D EVER TRAIN SOMEONE OUTSIDE MY RACE, THE KITSUNE(Fox), IS IF THEY ACTED SIMILAR TO ONE!"
"Well I hope that you are willing to start helping because in case you haven't been paying attention, Naruto is about as close as you're going to get," came a second voice.
Naruto walked into the room and, to his shock, saw a tall blonde talking to a large, powerful beast that was imprisoned behind a large cage with a piece of paper that said "seal" on it. the killer intent that was being dirrected at the man was enough to knock him over backwards. That is if it had been aimed at him. "W-what's going on here?" said Naruto.
The man turned around and smiled, saying "Hello, Naruto. My name is Kazama Arashi. better known as the Fourth Hokage, and this is the Kyuubi no Kitsune(Nine-Tailed Fox)."
"Hiya, brat."
Naruto's, much larger than he lets on, brain shut down.
A.N.://: if you don't like it, don't read it. Plz review. It could provide new inspirational ideas. although I will be responding to the reviews individually. I hate it when people waste entire chapters on responding to reviews. And yes Hiashi is being OOC on purpose. Think of it as a side effect of the cat ears, which are not going away until Arashi (I) say(s) so. Oh, and all the jutsus will be in English except for the stuff that I know which I will put in parentheses the first time I use them(i.e. Katon, Suiton, Raiton, Ninpou, Doton, etc.). also this isn't going to be an all prank story, Arashi is just making up for lost time.
I will update eventually.
