Hello my loyal readers, here is another page of entertainment for your eyeholes. Special thanks to all the readers out there. Thanks to the traffic thing, I have noticed that this story has some international readers. Well I have nothing else to say so here it is, the next chapter!

Diasclaimer: I don't own Naruto. *sob*

"That demon stole the scroll! He needs to be killed right now!" one of the council members shouted.

An emergency council meeting was called after the chuunin that arrested Naruto brought in the blonde and the scroll. Many council members wanted to execute Naruto but, there were some in the room that supported him.

"Everyone quiet down!" the Third shouted. Everyone stopped yelling and sat down.

Not two seconds after everyone sat down, one man asked, "How are you going to kill the demon Hokage-sama?"

"Naruto is not going to be executed. Iruka told me what happened before someone was kind enough to take him to the hospital. Mizuki tricked Naruto into stealing the scroll and was going to hand off the scroll to Orochimaru." Hiruzen stated calmly.

"Bullshit!" some shouted and the whole council room went in to an uproar once again.

"Can I go now? All this yelling is giving me a huge headache." Naruto asked the Hokage.

"No, the council will just yell at me and give me a headache." Hiruzen replied and Naruto chuckled at the remark.

"Hokage-sama, could you please tell me why you aren't banishing or executing this demon?" a voice said from the shadows. Everyone got quiet and sat down as a man walked out from the shadows.

Naruto observed the strange man and saw that he had his entire arm and half his face bandaged up. He looked really old and beat up. Naruto also noticed that the man had a scar that crossed his clear eye.

'Wow, what an old geezer.' Naruto thought.

"I already told everyone, Danzo. He stopped Mizuki from giving off the Forbidden Scroll to Orochimaru. If anything he should be rewarded for saving the scroll."

"How do we know that he's lying. That demon could have been trying to give the scroll off to Orochimaru himself." The man now known as Danzo asked the Hokage.

"Iruka saw the whole thing, I doubt Iruka would lie to me." Hiruzen replied.

"You know what," one of the civilian council members started. "go ahead let that demon roam free. He'll probably kill us in our sleep. Remember, we can vote to banish him even if you protect that demon scum."

"Before this gets out of hand, meeting dismissed." the Hokage declared. Everyone got up and went home, mumbling to themselves.

'I'm getting to old for this.' Hiruzen thought.

"Hey, old man, what room is Iruka in at the hospital?" Naruto asked.

"I believe his in floor two, room 206." Hiruzen replied. "If they don't let you in, tell them the Hokage gave you permission."

"Alright! Thanks old man!" Naruto shouted as he ran towards the hospital.

(at the hospital, in Iruka's room)

"Iruka-sensei, you here?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto, even though you're awake, some people are sleeping." Iruka mumbled as he sat up on the bed.

"I was just coming to see if you were ok." Naruto stated.

"Oh, well thanks for coming. Hinata was nice enough to bring me here from that clearing you fought Mizuki in." Iruka said.

'Hinata brought him here? I better thank her next time I see her' Naruto thought.

"I didn't mean to get you hurt, I just want to be a good ninja like you and the old man." Naruto said.

"Hey for saving my life, I got a surprise for you." Iruka said. "Close your eyes."

Naruto just looked confused and did what Iruka said.

"Ok, open your eyes." Iruka said.

Naruto opened his eyes and didn't fell any different.

"Congratulations, Naruto. You are now a genin of Konoha!" Iruka stated with excitement. Naruto just widened his eyes in shock and felt his forehead.

Naruto was about to shout, but Iruka stopped him by saying, "Remember, most people are asleep. I don't think they'd like it if you shouted right now. Thanks for checking up on me, but I'm going back to sleep. You should head home and get some rest too."

"Bye Iruka!" Naruto said with a huge grin on his face.

'Man I hope he doesn't wake me up again.' Iruka thought before falling asleep.

(the next morning)

Naruto awoke from his slumber still with a huge grin on his face.

'Ok, what now? Might as well get some celebratory Ichiraku ramen!' Naruto thought as he got on his orange jacket and ran outside.

Hinata was just taking a walk after her morning training in the Hyuga compound, which ended up with her strict father yelling at her again. Today was the day that the graduating ninja got assigned their teams, but that wasn't until later that day. All of a sudden, an orange blur came out of nowhere and ran into her.

"Oh, sorry Hinata." Naruto said.

'Ok, ok. Just don't faint. You can talk to Naruto-kun without fainting.' Hinata reassured herself.

"Hey, I want to thank you for helping Iruka get to the hospital. He's like a father to me and I don't know what I would do if he didn't make it." Naruto said.

"I-it was n-no big deal." Hinata stuttered out.

Naruto hugged Hinata and said, "Now, if you'll excuse me there is one last prank I want to pull before graduation." He then ran off with a mischievous grin on his face.

'Naruto-kun hugged me.' Hinata thought to herself as she fainted from the hug from her crush.

(meanwhile, at the Hokage tower)

"Hokage-sama. The council members are waiting for you." Danzo said as he entered the Hokage's office. Hiruzen just looked confused, but went in to the council room anyway.

"What's going on?" the Hokage asked.

"The council has voted and we have decided to banish that demon from the village! You can't protect him now! You can't overturn our vote!" a man shouted, which got many cheers of victory from the council members.

"How dare you all! Naruto protected our village and you banish him for no reason!" Hiruzen shouted.

"He was going to steal the scroll for himself. Even if he didn't steal the scroll, he used the Kyubi's chakra. He is under the influence of the fox!" a different council member shouted.

Hiruzen had a look of despair on his face.

'These stuck-up assholes just don't know a good person when they see one. All they care about is power and their reputation' Hiruzen thought.

"Get out of this room!" Hiruzen grinded through his teeth. Everyone had a huge grin on their face for getting rid of Naruto. Hiruzen just went back to his office and tried to think of a way to get around the council's decision.

'This is going to take a while.' Hiruzen thought.

After about twenty minutes of thinking, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Hiruzen said.

Hinata came in and went up to his desk.

"Hokage-sama, can I ask you a question?" Hinata asked.

"Sure, ask me anything." Hiruzen replied with a grin.

"Well, I saw what happened between Naruto and Mizuki and Naruto had orange chakra come out of him. My father said something about the demon getting banished, so I came here to see what's going on. What was that orange chakra?" Hinata asked.

Hiruzen had a look of surprise on his face and tried to think of a way to get out of this situation. Hiruzen just sighed and looked at Hinata.

"Hinata, twelve years ago, the Kyubi attacked this village. The Fourth Hokage managed to defeat it, but some if it's chakra somehow got into Naruto when he was a newborn. Everyone thinks that he's the Kyubi and that is what that orange chakra is. The council is being stubborn and," Hiruzen just stopped for a second to swallow some sadness and continued, "they've banished him for using the Kyubi's chakra."

"He was using it to protect Iruka!" Hinata shouted.

"I tried explaining that to them, but they've banished him anyway." Hiruzen said. Hiruzen then had an idea pop into his head.

"Listen, you're not supposed to know about the Kyubi, but I have an idea. Go get Naruto and bring him here." Hiruzen ordered.

"Hai!" Hinata replied and went off.

Hiruzen waited for Hinata to leave and wrote up a quick note. He waited for a second then a puff of smoke appeared.

"Hey Wukong, this is very urgent so no time to socialize. Take this to Jiraiya. Look near the hot springs if you need to. He's probably there right now." Hiruzen said.

"Got it." Wukong said. The monkey made another puff of smoke and took off.

(30 minutes later, 2:45 pm)

"What did you need old man? I'm kinda waiting for something to happen." Naruto said.

"Listen Naruto, the council is," Hiruzen just sighed and mentally cursed the council. "banishing you."

"What! Why!" Naruto shouted.

"Listen, listen. Instead of completely banishing you, I'm sending you to train with a powerful ninja. The council will think I'm banishing you. Just incase I'm sending Hinata with you." Hiruzen said.

'I can't believe I'm actually getting out of this.' Hiruzen thought.

"Well, who's gonna train us?" Naruto asked.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Ok stop!" A man yelled.

"Here he is boss." the monkey said.

"Thank you, Wukong." Hiruzen said. The monkey disappeared and Naruto and Hinata looked at the man one the floor.

"Really, Hiruzen?" the man shouted.

"Yes, really. Naruto, Hinata; this is the man who will be training you." Hiruzen announced.

"Okay, so who is this guy? Naruto asked in confusim. Hinata, Hiruzen, and the large white-haired man stared at Naruto in disbelief.

"You really don't know who I am, do you?" The man asked in shock.

Naruto crossed his arms and his face scrunched up. Hinata recognized that Naruto was thinking very hard.

"Wait, I recognize you! You're that pervert who is always peeping at the girls in the hot springs!" Naruto shouted. The 'pervert' began to grin like a kid in a candy store.

"I am not a regular pervert, I am the legendary super pervert, one of the three sannin, and the Holy Sage of Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya!"
