Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

AN: Thank you everyone. For a first take at writing I'd say it was a massive success. 100 views since I posted the story, so here's the next chapter. I'll probably update pretty rapidly this week, so please don't be annoyed with daily updates okay? Enjoy!

theIrishWriter: Thank you! I hope this chapter will be to your liking.

Solomon07: I hope you're just as excited about what I'm planning for the future as I am. Horrible first attempts at written comedy. Mystery. Intrigue. Plot holes. What story doesn't have them, just don't think too hard. Next chapter would be named "worldbuilding" if I could figure out how to name my chapters in the interface


When Naruto woke up he was extremely disoriented.

Getting a new body never got easier for him. Nothing seemed wrong at first glance. He examined his surroundings first, then himself second. He was sitting on his favorite swing in front of the academy. So far so good.

He himself seemed to be a normal eleven year old, if a bit healthier than he remembered being as Naruto at the same age. He walked over to the nearest window to take a look at himself. His whiskers were gone. That outright shocked him. He had them in most of his incarnations, so not having them, when he knew for a fact that he was born with them was disturbing. Second thing, his hair was dyed. He was sure he was a natural blonde, but he saw purple haired boy of all things looking back at him with those blue eyes of his. Actually it was amethyst colored, but he'd never admit to knowing about ninja dyes. His hair was long enough to reach his waist, but was tied in a ponytail. His skin was also a shade lighter than he was used to. At least he wasn't as pale as that Snake Dude. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a green Celtic spiral symbol in the front. Three, spirals with the lines they are made of meeting in the middle. He was also wearing blue shorts, and blue ninja sandals. He sighed. Now that he thought about it, he detected something that became a common occurrence.

A memory block.

Jackie doesn't like Naruto playing dirty, so she separated what he knows between his in-universe knowledge, and out of universe knowledge. He already knew that he can't act on things he's not supposed to know, but it never hurt to be prepared. It could be compared to trying to recall the events of a book you read 2 years ago. You have a general idea of what is going on, but if he tried to abuse specifics like trying to find powerful summoning contracts that he should know the location of, or trying handseals to a technique he shouldn't know even existed then he would fail.

He still had everything that only required some thinking about to figure out, or could be acquired by rumor however. So for example, he knew about elemental manipulation, and that Kazekage has three children, but Naruto doesn't know any wind techniques or how Kazekage's children look like.

Now that he knew his situation, it was to time examine things that weren't there before. He concentrated on what he knew about himself, and recited the answers to himself.

His name was Torune Uzukima, he was found in the orphanage along with his birth certificate on the October 11th. He didn't have any friends, definitely none that joined Ninja academy with him. Seeing how the only real way to earn money was being a ninja, and he was talented enough for it he decided it was where he could shine, maybe even find out about his origins. A month ago a stranger bumped into him and dropped a piece of paper. Torune picked it up with the intention of returning it, but he saw that it was a letter with his name on it. He found out his origins, his real name, and that he was under a permanent transformation technique. He found out that he was one of two containers for kyuubi, his twin sister being the other one. The letter also warned him not to reveal anything to anyone or look for her otherwise bad things will happen. He saw the logic in that. Asking around for the 'Demon child' he heard whispers about would definitely be noticed. Armed with answers he was more determined than ever to find out about his family, and the mystery surrounding it. Because the entire story screamed 'suspicious'. And what better way to take the first step than the Ninja Academy where his sister was bound to turn up.

Because today was the first day of school. A class of 30 would be created from the most promising students in all of Konoha. And if a jinchuuriki wasn't promising then he didn't know who was. He of course was one of those 30 people. His above average results being comparable to children with ninja clan training.

Today was the day. Today he would meet his sister.

Dattebayo!


He was in the front yard listening to Third Hokage's academy opening speech. Thanks dad, and screw you for leaving us in the orphanage, even if you thought that would protect us. He was suprisingly blase about finding out he had parents and that his dad was the Fourth Hokage, but he had a month to deal with this revelation. Now that he thought about it, if his parents are alive, then the entire situation made no sense. Something to investigate later. "Damn, I need to get a hold of a journal to record quests to do later" he thought. entry 1) Investigate the Kyuubi jinchuuriki 2)Find out why two children with powerful demons that could be turned into weapons were left in the orphanage. Actually he could do the first thing right now. He knew that she was supposed to be blonde with blue eyes, but that was about it. He didn't exactly have the chance to meet the village pariah, especially after she disappeared from the orphanage years ago. He tuned out the speech and waited for his change to find her.


He was in the hallway next to the his classroom for the next foreseeable two years. He caught a glimpse of a blonde girl arguing with a pinkette about something.

The blonde was wearing some strange cross between a purple top with a high collar that has no sleeves and reveals her midriff, short purple skirt, and bandages covering her stomach and legs like some sort of shorts, and white arm warmers. The pinkette was wearing a red dress. Enough said. I don't know a lot about dresses. I look once again at the blonde. Could this be her? He sure hoped so. As he approached he heard that their argument was about who some 'Sasuke-kun' liked better. Alright that's weird, I think I should know who they were or why they are arguing, but I never met them before in this life, so memory block. Nothing I can do about it.

"Excuse me?" I ask as politely as possible.

"You're stupid! Sasuke-kun likes my hair better! It's long and smooth, I spent 4 hours yesterday to make a good impression." Shouted the blonde.

"Eh hem" I clear my throat "Excuse me?" I try a little harder.

"As if pig! You are so fat Sasuke-kun would never love you. Maybe you should try with Chouji. You'd fit together perfectly you pig!" Shouted the pinkette in return. Ouch! Harsh. I don't know who Chouji is, but if it's the kid eating right now, then he looks nice. Like a panda. No need to be mean to him. "Why you-" The blonde looks like she'll strike the first blow, so I better do something. "EXCUSE ME!" I shout, and they turn to glare at me. I clear me throat and smile at them. "Now that I have your attention, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Torune Uzukima, nice to meet you." The pink one scowls, but the blonde makes a 180 in attitude and smiles. "Hi there. Sorry about her. Billboard-brow can be so annoying sometimes. I'm Ino Yamanaka, and this is Sakura."

Not her then. That's both disappointing that she's not here, and a relief that my sister isn't as annoying as those two. I hope. She turns to her rival "My my Sakura, this cutie came all the way to introduce himself to us. Why don't you take him, and leave Sasuke-kun to me." The pink haired girl's mood sours even further. Oh crap! She's gonna blow!

"As if! Sasuke-kun is mine!" She turns to the blonde. If they had lightning affinities, there would be sparks flying from their eyes right now. "Ehe he. I'm gonna go now." I smile and start walking slowly, and backwards. I don't want to come between two wild animals after all, as they resume their mating ritual for dominance over a male.

"Troublesome" I hear, but barely. I turn to the noise. It's a black haired pineapple head. He is wearing a gray t-shirt with a circle bisected by a line, and light green shorts. "What did you say?" I turn to him. "Troublesome girls." he sighs. "You know them?" I now fully turn to him. "Yeah." I wait for him to elaborate, but he doesn't. Ooookay. "I'm Torune Uzukima" I extend my hand. "Shikamaru Nara" He doesn't take it so I lower it. He didn't even open his eyes to look at me even.

I don't say anything more to anyone. I just wait for the class to start.


I sit at the farthest desk on the right side of the classroom podium. I can both lean back and feel the wall behind me, I can see everyone from the spot I'm sitting in, and I get the least light from the windows on the opposite wall. I look around the classroom, but don't find her. O Sister, where art thou?

I get a little depressed thinking about it, and don't pay much attention to the teacher. I feel like I should know him, and I do take an instant liking to him, but I worry too much about my sister to care.

"Alright class, my name is Iruka Umino." He writes his name on the blackboard, and turns back to the class. "I'm honored to teach the students chosen to enter the prestigious elite program for ninja. We will work hard for the next two years, and hopefully accomplish much for the village, both as ninja and individuals, but before we can do that, and start the first lesson which will unlock our chakra, and our ability to know ourselves, and better ourselves, why don't we start with some introduct-"

*CRASH*

Something impacted the closed classroom door hard. Then a thud could be heard. Then the door opened. My breath was caught in my throat and my muscles tensed, as my eyes almost bugged out, because right there, strolling into the classroom like nothing happened was the girl with twin blonde pigtails, blue eyes, tan skin, wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Oh and she had six whisker-like birthmarks on her cheeks.

"Hehe. Sorry I'm late" She rubbed the back of her head. "My name is Naruko Uzumaki, and I'm going to be the next hokage, dattebane!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, while striking the 'good guy pose'.

I lost consciousness right after the short purple haired girl next to me.


And there you have it! The first hints that not everything went as Naruto wanted. Why are they both orphans? Why is Naruko hated? Why didn't they meet before?

Please read & review!

See you next time on Shinobi: The Six Paths.

PS: The name doesn't mean anything I just wanted to name it like it was a World of Darkness rpg book
