The Full Awakening

A/N: I would like to thank my readers that have shown so much support to me since my return. I have made a decision on the pairing: NarutoxAyame. Though I am going for a non-harem I am really wanting to include a certain girl that I have always wanted to use since with Naruto's being part wolf allows me to do it easily. Here is my responses to some questions that Emissary of Despair asked. The became "smarter" after learning his heritage is because he was hiding behind a mask of stupidity but he was always that smart. He's not "gimme gimme gimme" he simply asking for whats his that he should have been given since birth. I think he has a right to get pissed at the Hokage of the fact that everything was hidden from him and there are several ways that Hiruzen could have told Naruto without risking security. On the issue of reviving his clan and it needing more males, this is my story plus he's the only one left that has the Ookami blood in him. Do you think Sasuke should have just accepted random guys into his clan even though they weren't Uchiha? The whole reason of clans in Naruto is people that have the same blood and abilities. I will explain more about Naruto at the end of this chapter.

A/N (8/16/09): This chapter will have Sasuke and Sakura bashing but the bashing is, as one reviewer said, over the top for a reason that progresses the plot in the next chapter and is not bashing for the sake of bashing or because I hate Sasuke and/or Sakura. I happen to like Sakura when she isn't beating Naruto for no good reason or being a fangirl to the point that when Sasuke is evil in a story that she still thinks he can do no wrong. Now for Sasuke I am neutral on. I like him when he isn't a prick, doesn't leave Konoha, is a girl, or actually acts a Naruto's friend. I hate him when he is a prick, trying to steal Naruto's girl(s), trying or actually killing one of the good main characters for the purpose of gaining more power, or when he gets Naruto banished. This chapter is the only one will a lot of bashing. Also, Naruto will not be bitter towards most people unless they give him a good enough reason to be.

A/N (3/4/10): Here is the rewritten version.

###############

That night, Naruto was able to go to sleep but he found himself not in his dreams, but somewhere else.

[Inside of Naruto's mindscape]

Naruto walked through the vast forest that was his mind. It seemed to go on forever with winding paths, giant trees, and a mountain breeze. He kept walking as he came to a clearing where a man in wolf furs was kicking a tree. "Hey pup, take a seat so we can talk." Koga said to him as he sat down on a nearby tree stump.

Naruto sat down on a second stump. "Hey Koga, since the Ookami clan is the main branch of the Inuzuka do we have any similar things like slitted pupils, claws, animal partners?" Naruto asked with a confused look on his face.

Koga got into a thinking position "Unlike the Inuzuka, our features are concealed and can be revealed and hid at will but I suppressed yours so you wouldn't freak out. Now unlike the Inuzuka, you'll gain a pair of ookami ears on the top of your head to replace your human ones and will gain a ookami tail. Your fangs and claws can be lengthened by will. The animal partner will be when we go to an ookami den. Now you should sleep pup, its been a long day for you." Koga tells Naruto.

Naruto smiles. "Goodnight...aniki."(Naruto sees Koga as a big brother and will refer to him as such at times) "Goodnight...otouto."

[The next day]

BEEP!
BEEP!
BEE *smash!*

Naruto looked over and saw that he had thrown his alarm clock against the wall...again. "I really need to stop doing that." Naruto said to himself and pushed the bed covers off of his body. He walked over to his bathroom, all the while stretching out the kinks that his body had from sleeping on his old mattress.

After taking a cold shower, due to his gas being turned off yet again, he walked over to his closet. "Orange, orange, and more orange. I may not mind the color but you would have to be a complete idiot to believe someone could like the color this much." Naruto said while shaking his head.

He got onto his knees and felt his hands over the floor boards in the closet until he felt what he was looking for. He put his finger through the hole that was in one of the boards and pulled it up to show his hiding spot that held a single scroll. 'Good thing jiji was able to get me this scroll.'

Naruto opened the scroll. He bit his thumb and swiped his blood across the first symbol of the first storage seal. Out of the seal came a pair of black, standard shinobi pants with several pockets.

He did the same for the second symbol and out came a tightly woven mesh undershirt that, when the wearer's chakra was pulsed through it, protected against arrows, sword stabs, kunai, and shuriken.

The third symbol revealed a grey form-fitting shirt that would perfectly sync with his undershirt.

The final symbol let out a pair of grey shinobi sandals.

Putting on his new outfit, Naruto looked into his mirror as he headband on his forehead and smiled. He walked out of his apartment, locking the door before heading into the distance from the place.

"Head to the northern section of the village to training ground 51, the mountainous expanse." Koga said and Naruto decided to follow the advice. It took about half an hour for Naruto to get to the indicated training grounds but when he got there he was surprised by the sheer size of it, it looked like an entire mountain range except at lower altitudes. There were quite a few part of the training ground that were definitely at higher altitudes but for most of it, there was just craggy landscape.

Naruto headed into the training grounds and as he looked up as the mountain in front of him, his fingernails and toenails turned into claws and he started to climb it one rock at a time. By the time that he reached the top, the sun was now at its highest point in the sky.

"Okay pup, its time for you to start learning one of the clan's jutsu, kage tsume. First, focus your chakra into the tips of your claws and then make a slash." Koga said and Naruto did so with little results. "Don't worry about not being able to do it yet, that is why we're here training."

[A week later on the day of team selections]

After spending an entire week at the training ground, Naruto was back in the Academy for the last time waiting for the team placements to be announced by Iruka. 'Please not Sasuke-teme or Sakura. Anyone but those two. Hinata, Shino, Kiba, anyone would be better than them.' Now you may be wondering why Naruto doesn't want to be with his "crush". Due to his beatings our blond ookami created a mask of stupidity to hide behind and protect himself and liking Sakura was part of that mask. Naruto waits as Iruka announces his team. "Team 7: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke. Your sensei will be Hatake Kakashi. He will meet you on the roof." With that Naruto shunshin'ed up to the roof.

[On the academy roof]

Naruto appeared on roof where Kakashi was as well. "Ah, you must be the dead last. I'm surprised that you even passed." The silver haired cyclops said with an aloof voice.

"If that's how you feel then why did you protect me when I was young...Inu-san. I thought you would be different. It doesn't matter I guess. Here, Saru-jiji told me to give this to you." Naruto threw him a scroll and walks away as Kakashi read the scroll and frowned behind his mask.

"Naruto...do you know who you...really are?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, even who my father is." Naruto said as he sat down on a step.

Kakashi frowned. "I'm sorry Naruto. Sandaime-sama had me take an oath that I would not let you know or even suspect anything until you knew your heritage." Kakashi said with sorrow.

Naruto smiles slightly. "I forgive you...Kakashi-niisan. Tou-san explained that you were the last bit of family I had left even if we aren't blood related." Naruto told Kakashi.

"Thank-you otouto. Now, where is your team?" As he says this, the Uchiha and Sakura reach them.

"NARUTO-BAKA! HOW DID YOU GET HERE BEFORE SASUKE-KUN!" the Sakura yells.

"That's" easy. I don't have a ten foot pole up my ass like he does." Naruto says with a smirk and Kakashi hides his own.

Sasuke grins. "Shut up dobe. At least my family didn't abandon be like your traitor of a father and whore of a mother..." Sasuke stops as he loses his breath as he is hit with an almost visual amount of killing intent.

"Well, lets start with the introductions." Kakashi said.

"Why don't you go first, sensei." Sakura suggested.

'I thought she was supposed to be the smartest of her year.' Kakashi sighs. "Well, my name is Hatake Kakashi, my likes and dislikes are none of your business and my hobbies and goals...the same." Sasuke and Sakura sweatdrop.

"Your turn banshee." Kakashi ginned under his mask. "My name is Haruno Sakura. My likes are hehehe, my hobbies...hehehe, my goal...*nosebleed*. And I hate Naruto-baka." Sakura said. "Okay...your turn duck-ass." Kakashi grins again.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. My likes are few and dislikes are many. I have no hobbies and my goal...its more of an ambition...to kill a certain man." Sasuke said.

"Now, your turn blondie." Naruto sits up. "My name is *looks at Kakashi and sees him mouth 'Not yet.'* Uzumaki Naruto. My likes are ookami, inu learning new jutsu, and my two aniki. My dislikes are arrogant snobs, fangirls, brooders, traitors, and people that can't see the difference between a scroll and whats sealed in it. My hobbies are creating new jutsu, training, and exploring. My goals are to rebuild my clan, become Hokage and...to make my parents proud." He says with the last part in a somber tone.

'So I have a fangirl, an avenger, and . This group could be good...if they can pass.' "Alright, meet me at training grounds 7 at 9 am tomorrow for your real Genin test. Ja ne." With that Kakashi disappears in a swirl of leaves as his students head back to their homes.

[The next day at 11:00 am]

"WHERE IS THAT SORRY EXCUSE FOR A SENSEI!" The banshee known as Sakura yelled as Naruto drops from the trees in his new ninja clothes (the ones from his scroll). Kakashi explains the bell test and Sasuke and Sakura jump into the trees while Naruto hides in the shadows and gets behind Kakashi.

"Come on Kakashi-nii, lets have a spar while we wait for the other two. I already know the secret behind the test so lets have some fun since they will refuse to help me" Naruto and Kakashi slip into fighting stances and they run at each other. "Kage bushin no jutsu!" Naruto calls out as he disappears in the group of clones but one by one they fall to Kakashi's years of experience and skill in taijutsu.

"Kage shuriken no jutsu!" Naruto throws five shuriken that become fifty. Kakashi jumps back. "Doton: Doryuuheki." Kakashi calls out and a thick wall of earth forms between the shuriken and himself. "Tsuuga!" A spinning drill covered in chakra easily pierces through the wall of earth and speeds at Kakashi. Kakashi was able to dodge but Naruto was able to divert his spinning self back at Kakashi and through the log that he replaces himself with. As Naruto gets out of the spin, he jumps in front of Kakashi and slashes at him with his claws. Kakashi easily deflects the hand and delivers a knee to Naruto's gut, sending him into a tree.

Naruto gets back up and Kakashi charges at him but fails to notice that chakra was focusing into Naruto's claws. "Kage tsume!" He scratches at Kakashi. Kakashi's eyes widen at the size of the attack and quickly performs a few handseals. 'Doton no jutsu.' Kakashi sinks into the earth as Naruto's attack cuts through several trees in front of it. "Damn otouto, I didn't see that coming." Kakashi says as he gets out of the earth. "How did you learn that so quickly?" Naruto gives him a grin. "Oh its easy when you're training with a hundred clones every day for a week straight." Naruto says with a grin.

A bell echos through the training ground. "Well, lets get back to the other two." Kakashi said and the two shunshin'ed back to the clearing with the three posts.

[Back where the test started]

Kakashi walks forward. "Well the good news is that Naruto will be going back to the Academy." was all Kakashi got out before he was interrupted by Sakura and Sasuke. "Yes, Sasuke-kun and I passed!" Sakura screamed. "I knew the dobe wouldn't pass. It must have been a fluke that he even graduated." Sasuke said with a sneer.

"Why are you two so happy? You two are to be dropped from the program completely." Kakashi said with an eye smile. Sakura and Sasuke shot up in protest. "What?! Why isn't Naruto being dropped as well? He's nowhere near as good as Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screeched. "You can't do this to me! I'm an Uchiha!" Sasuke yelled through gritted teeth.

Kakashi interrupts the ranting of the two. "First of all, Naruto is better that Sasuke because he was able to go toe-to-toe with me where Sasuke was defeated by a clone and you were easily put under a low level genjutsu. Also, unlike you two, Naruto understood the secret behind the test...teamwork." Kakashi said but got interrupted by Naruto. "And since its about teamwork..." Naruto tosses a bell to each of them. "I think we pass." Naruto says with a grin. Kakashi blinks in surprise but grins. "Fine, meet me tomorrow at noon." As Kakashi leaves via shunshin, Naruto does as well. Sasuke and Sakura stare blankly with their eyes glazed over a small red pentagram with a symbol at each point appears on the back of their necks. At the same time, the same thing happens to the other new genin.

[At the Hokage tower]

"Team 6, they failed miserably." Hayate said with a cough. "Kakashi is late as usual so what about team 8?" the Hokage asked as Yuuhi Kurenai walked forward. "Team 8 passes. They are an excellent tracking team." Kurenai said proudly. "And team 10?" the Hokage asks again. Sarutobi Asuma walks forward. "Team 10, passed. They will become a good Capture Information and Torture team in the future." As Asuma finished Kakashi walked in.

"Sorry I'm late. Since it looks like everyone has reported already I go. Team 7, passed." Everyone in the room was shocked by this.

"It must have been Uchiha-sama." a random jonin said. "Your right, only Sasuke-sama could have gotten Kakashi to pass when on the same team as the demon." said a chunin. Kakashi interrupts. "Actually, that 'demon' is the only reason they passed." The Hokage smiled as he thought. 'Naruto...I'm sure your parents would be proud of you.'

That's a wrap. Now to explain a few things. Minato, Naruto's father, wasn't able to tap into his Ookami blood like Naruto did which is why he didn't take the Ookami name. Koga was not originally going to be the same Koga from Inuyasha but due to Ayame being Naruto's pairing it seemed like the thing to do. Koga and Ayame have never met in this story. There is another character I want to introduce but I'd like to know what you all think. I want to introduce The Divine Fist Ouka from dot hack Dusk(aka Legend of the Twilight). I am tempted to make this a three person pairing but will not do a harem.
