Hey guys, are you all ready for the second chapter? This chapter will explain the differences in the story lines and what effect Minato not dying had on everything. That does not mean Minato will be the same though. Alrighty, let's get to it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It had been thirteen years, a hard, long thirteen years. Minato had done his best with the village and even managed to keep the Uchiha clan from rebelling, however that did not mean he managed to save them. In one night the clan was decimated by an unknown assailant. He tore through the compound and slaughtered the adults, the teens, all of them. All that were left were a hundred orphans ranging from the ages 12 to newborns. It was sickening to Minato's stomach, though he had done his best. HE assigned several adult figures to watch over the children until the day Itachi could take over as head. Itachi's younger brother was a problem though, he always mercilessly beat down whoever he spared in class and had no regrets. Minato had to do something quickly about him. Minato gave a loud sigh; he had been dreading this year for the last ten. He realized that his choice was a mistake a few years after Naruto was taken by Zarehya and Muy. He realized he not only spit on his family, but his beloveds memory. He desperately tried to get in contact with Zarehya, he sent letter after letter pouring his heart out to them. He was weak at that moment, his soul shattered, his heart eviscerated. What the hell did they expect him to do! HE was a shell of his former self at the time. He didn't want to lose his last family, his precious baby boy. He looked at his reflection in the mirror, the white streaks coming into his hair, the pronounced dark rings under his eyes, the pale skin. He had barely been able to sleep since that day. He took his Yondaime cloak off and tossed it to the floor as he sat down in his chair. He looked to the forms but he felt something was wrong. Something was amiss. He looked up as he saw three cloaked people in his office, the cloaks being blood red and having a crest of the Yu Yan archers, an arrow within a flame, within a circle. HE knew who these three were.

"Hello, Muy, Zarehya, Naruto." Muy and Zarehya lowered their hoods. Minato could tell the years were not kind to Muy, a man who was at Kushina's death already forty, was now fifty-three, and it was beginning to show. Muy's long dark brown hair showing more gray than brown now, the wrinkles across his face. It was taking its toll on his image. Zarehya, barely a ripe age of twenty-one when her cousin died was now thirty-four, she showed her beauty well. Her long black hair, her pale and creamy white skin, her dark ferocious steel gray eyes; she was a beauty to behold. Zarehya looked at him her face flat as slat in her expression, though if you look close enough you could see a hidden rage for what Minato had done. The last figure had yet to remove his head and Minato had to do all in his power not to vault the desk and envelope the boy in a hug. Minato had to remember, he had been raised to know Minato abandoned him.

"Minato, you look like shit." Muy bluntly put it, his wife smirked.

"He should, but that is a matter for another time. Minato, upon the request of your son we have brought him back to enroll in the Konohagakure Ninja Academy for him to become a Shinobi." Zarehya and Muy bowed ever so slightly.

"Please take care of him." Minato raised his hands softly and he looked to the two adults and he got on his knees and placed his face to the ground. He bowed before them as one does to an emperor.

"I thank you, Muy, Zarehya. In my moment of weakness I betrayed the one I loved most, I cast away my son, and I failed. I can only ask that one day you all will forgive me for being a low worm." Muy grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and picked him up. He smiled softly and enveloped Minato in a hug, to everyone it seemed as if Muy was forgiving him, however the truth was far from it.

"Minato," Muy whispered in his ear, "we raised Naruto knowing you were his father. We raised him knowing his mother perished from his birth. What he doesn't know is how much of a cowardly piece of trash you are. I suggest you keep it that way." Muy smiled widely leaning back and in a loud booming and happy voice exclaimed.

"What is done is done my old friend, now, young Naruto isn't there something you wanted to say?" Naruto stepped forward and removed his hood. He was tall for a thirteen year old, standing over his father by three inches (that isn't a far stretch, I was 5'8" when I was twelve and stood two inches over my father) his angled strong jawed face was framed by smooth red locks. He looked at his father who was shocked. Naruto's hair had blonde tips, one of his eyes a deep blue, the other a soft violet. Naruto had the Yu Yan face paint adorning his face, but what caught Minato off guard the most was the scar across his left cheek, an everlasting reminder of that night. Naruto moved forward and gave a deep bow to Minato.

"Tou-san, I have returned and am wishing to join the Ninja Academy, please allow me to. I will even take place of dead last if need be, just give me a shot for graduation." Minato placed a hand on the top of his head and ruffled his hair. Naruto stood and Minato smiled softly. Minato nodded and grabbed his cloak, throwing it on he motioned for them to join him. He was going to personally enter Naruto into the academy. Minato looked to the sky when they were on the road and closed his eyes.

'I think I have a chance to make things right Kushina. Just wait a little while longer.' It was no secret Minato was sick, he suffered from a cancer that grew on the chakra coils. It wouldn't kill fast but in three years time he wouldn't even be able to use an academy bunshin. He looked ahead of them and saw the gates to the Academy. A tall building with a simple design, it looked similar to a regular school house, but if one were to examine its frame they would see it covered in seals, courtesy of yours truly and his sensei. Minato opened the gate and upon entering people were bowing to Minato, but Minato motioned for them to rise.

"Follow me Naruto, you will be put into the class that is graduating this year. I trust you will be able to pass the exam?" Minato might have said that to Naruto, but it was directed to Muy who only smirked.

"Minato, you remember me telling you I had the record in the Yu Yan camp right?" Minato nodded.

"Naruto blew mine out of the water. He was making shots I could only do after camp before he even entered. He is a true prodigy." Minato felt a sense of pride in Muy's speech, this was his and Kushina's son, how could he not be talented? Minato walked them through corridor upon corridor till they reached a door marked '10C' Minato knocked and waited to hear a response.

"Come in." Minato opened the door and upon enetering the scene every single person, the children and their two teachers bowed deeply to Minato.

"Please everyone, rise. I have good news, you have a new student joining you today for the test." He motioned for Naruto to approach the front of the class. When Naruto stood before the students he heard whispers, good, bad, joking or not, Naruto bowed lowly before the class.

"I am Naruto Namikaze of the Yu Yan archers, I look forward to working with you all in the future." Naruto righted himself and took two steps back. Minato stepped forward and looked at their shocked faces.

"Naruto has been out of the village for a while, he has been training and will be participating in the events scheduled for today. Take care of him." Minato bowed slightly much to the shock of everyone there. Iruka stepped forward and placed hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"Naruto, why don't you take a seat next to Classman Uchiha?" Sasuke raised his arm for Naruto to see him. Naruto strode up the stairs and sat in the seat next to Sasuke. Minato smiled softly at seeing his son in class, he thought Naruto would reside in the warring countries for the rest of his days. HE thought he would never get a chance to right his wrong. He smiled softly and closed his eyes.

'Thank you Kami-Sama for allowing me to make it up to him for what I did.' Minato looked to the kids and smiled widely.

"You all have a nice day, and listen closely to your sensei, he was put there for a reason. Only those who are influential in the way they act on the field and at home could be chosen as a Chunin sensei. I must leave you all, enjoy your exam and I wish you all luck. I will return once you have completed your examinations and returned from lunch with the team formations of those who graduated." Minato vanished with Muy and Zarehya in a flash of gold.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Minato appeared in his office with the two and fell to the ground holding his chest tightly. Grudge or not Muy knew they were family and quickly helped Minato to his chair.

"Minato, what is wrong?!" Minato smiled softly and he coughed.

"I'm dying, that night I got a lethal dose of the Kyuubi's chakra and I developed a unique cancer upon my chakra coils. Every time I use a jutsu it drains me, I still use my Hiraishin to save face and show them I am fine, but I'm not. It is estimated by the doctors that I have a little under three years to live. I will finally pay penance for my sins against my family." Zarehya slapped him out of his way of thinking and sneered.

"Is that what you think? That we came to gloat Naruto infront of you? That you have sinned upon your family? No Minato, it isn't that easy. You abandoned YOUR AND KUSHINAS CHILD! You threw him away like trash, and you expect to be able to pay for your sins by dying? No, Naruto returned to this village because he wanted to meet and bond with his father. We tried Minato, we tried to raise him as ours, but we knew that wasn't what Kushina would have wanted! So we raised him as our nephew, we told him of your bravery and sacrifice in the war, we told him of his mothers kindness, of her burdens, of her life! HE cares for you even after all that you have done! There is no penance to be paid, we never told him what you did, but that doesn't mean he wont figure it out. You need to make a decision Minato, are you going to let yourself die in this little retribution you claim to be casting upon yourself, or fight to live with a son who will one day learn of what happened and forgive you!" Zarehya finished being in tears the whole time. Minato never saw the woman cry, she was strong, stronger than steel. To see her breaking down, he felt humbled. HE lowered his head and once again he bowed deeply to the two.

"I am so, so terribly sorry for what I have done to you two, to Naruto, this family. I will tell him what I have done when the time is right. I am so sorry Zarehya, Muy, my beloved's family. I am so sorry." Muy sighed and Minato looked up and Muy flicked his nose. Minato flinched and rubbed it.

"You finally have learned squirt, but you need to know, we have forgiven, but we will not forget. Naruto is the one you should be on the ground begging for forgivness from. Minato, the boy has his mothers heart, he will forgive you, but he will hold you accountable. Just make his mothers sacrifice worth it, make sure that he will be your family. We must leave now, we will return in time for the Chunin Examinations in one years time. We look forward to seeing you." Minato nodded and an in the moment thing happened, he hugged them both tightly.

"Thank you, my kazoku." Zarehya hugged him tightly and cried into his shoulder.

"You baka, you big stupid baka. Take care of Naru-chan for us, make sure he washes daily and always changes his underwear after a long day. Make sure he has friends, not too many, but good ones." Minato tensed and Zarehya saw his ghostly expression.

"What's wrong Minato?" Minato let some tears slip.

"Those were some of the same words Kushina told Naruto in the crystal." Zarehya was shocked and took a step back.

"A crystal! Where, where is it!" Minato opened his desk and removed it.

"When you left I didn't get time to give it to you, Kushina said that it would record her words to Naruto. She left it for him." Zarehya looked at he crystal as if liquid Aether, she smiled softly.

"Give it to him, for his birthday in a couple of months. He will need this, he has always wondered what she sounded like but never has he heard her voice. This will mean the world to him. I am afraid we must leave, take care of him Mina-kun." With that she threw on her cloak and so did Muy, the two left with a clap and a swirl of fire. Minato looked at the crystal in hand and he smiled softly.

'Don't worry, I will take care of Naruto."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The class had just watched the Hokage leave and were looking at the enigma that was Naruto. Kiba decided he would show this freak who was top dog.

"Oi, you might be the Hokage's son, but only a weakling would ever have the need to wear make up." Naruto turned to look at Kiba.

"Say that again and I will show you the strength of this 'weakling' boy." Kiba sneered and was about to rise out of his chair when a ruler slammed down atop his hands leaving impression markings.

"ENOUGH, Kiba, do not antagonize the new student. Now, everyone I expect you to introduce yourselves, so hop to it." All the students stood. The first to speak was a blonde girl with sea foam pupil less eyes. She smiled widely her clean teeth white as snow, Naruto took a look at her garb, a simple purple shirt covering her modestly with longer sleeves. Her pants covering her legs completely with a pouch held on by wrapped Ninja Tape on her thiegh, her curves advanced for one so young.

"I am Ino of the Yamanaka, it is a pleasure to meet you Namikaze-san." Ino bowed softly which Naruto returned. The second to speak was a young woman with waist length pink hair, emerald eyes, her pale complection leaving nothing to the sun to cover. Her garb consisted of a red battle dress covering her body, sleeveless and embroidered with a pink outline. She bowed softly.

"Sakura Haruno, a pleasure." Naruto reciprocated the bow.

"The pleasure is mine Haruno-san." The next to speak was a bluenette who was looking upon him, her eyes showing someone who was broken, he wondered what could have caused this. Her creamy white skin accented her dark blue hair perfectly, and her eyes, the fame Byakugan almost blended into her skin. Her garb consisted of a bulky beige fur lined jacket, baggy thick pants which had ninja tape wrapped around the right theigh. He noted the lack of the pouch and wondered what had happened. She bowed deeply and spoke, he heard the emptiness in her voice.

"I am Hinata of the Hyuuga clan. It is an honor to meet one who is a decendent of the famed Namikaze clan, I look forward to working with you." Naruto reciprocated the bow and he smiled softly to the young girl. The next to speak was the boy who had insulted him. HE gave a sneer at Naruto and crossed his arms over his chest. He was garbed in a thick blue jacket which had fur along the hood. Thick blue Shinobi pants taped at each ankle and one around the left theigh. There was a dog peaking its head out from under the hood. Naruto wondered why he brought his pet.

"Kiba, clan Inuzuka, don't get in my way." Naruto sneered at the boy. The next to speak was a young boy with a sleeved half shirt, beige in color with green trimming. He wore a fishnet shirt and blue Shinobi pants, same as the boy before him.

"Mendokuse, Shikamaru, house Nara, I look forward to working with you, that is if I pass." Naruto smirked at his laziness but genuinely smiled at him and bowed softly. The next to speak was the boy next to him, a large boy.

"Hiya, I'm Choji from the Akamichi clan! It's nice to meet ya, we should hang out during lunch." The large boy wearing a yellow shirt with his clans symbol big and boldly on the front. His dark brown pants tapped on the right side with no pouch but a kunai holder. He wore a long white scarf around his neck and a large long open green coat over his shirt. Naruto smiled, but almost didn't seen the next boy turning to him.

"I am Shino of clan Aburame, it is a pleasure to meet you." The boy was certaintly an enigma, his large blue tinted white cloak covering his torse and half of his theighs. His pants a dark blue taped off on his right theigh with a shuriken pouch, he nodded softly to Naruto. The final boy who spoke was the one next to him.

"Sasuke, Uchiha clan, learn the name because I will be the one on top this year." Naruto looked at the boy his blue shirt with his clan symbol on the back, his beige shorts with a shuriken pouch on his right. Naruto nodded as he and the class at down.

"Alright class, it is almost time to begin the test. I will explain the rules once more. The first test will be one of written knowledge on topics such as, Konoha history, Ninja Theory, and Situational assessments. The final part that will be worth half the grade is you are given a scenario, you have to write a complete and clean mission assessment and explain what went wrong in it. Depending on how you do is what team you will be placed upon. The second test will be one with target practice and taijutsu. The third and final test will be Ninjutsu and any bonus material you decide to show us for bonus points. After I hand out the test I ask you to remain silent for your fellow classmates and respect their wishes." Iruka begins to hand out the test and Naruto quickly finds out, he knows nothing of the history to this village. He tries to answer to the best of his abilities and when it comes down to the mission report he is confident about it. He has gone on several missions as skirmishes against the Earth Kingdom and as such has been subjected to mission assessments and reports. When he finishes he raises his hand and the teacher collects his paper. One by one the students finish their paper with the Akamichi going last. Iruka places the papers containing the mission assessments in a berige envelope and an ANBU member appears beside him taking them and vanishing once again.

"Alright class, it is time to go outside for our second test."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once the students were outside they began to speak amongst themselves, some nervous, some cocky, but most were gossiping about Naruto and wondering what style he fought with. Iruka moved into the center of the track and cleared his throat.

"Now, we will proceed with the weapons part of the exam. We have, on the table to your left, a set of weapons each of you will be using. Ten Kunai, Shuriken, Senbon, and if you have with you a weapon you wish to use you may. Now, we will begin alphabetically. First up is Shino, if you will." Shino walked over to the table collecting a set of the weapons. He stepped up to Iruka and saw the post he was aiming for. There were three, one for each weapon he supposed. He started releasing the weapons in a right to left sweeping throw. He managed to hit seven of ten Kunai, five of ten senbon, and nine of teen shuriken.

"Well done Classman Aburame, you have twenty-one points and currently sit atop your class. However that is barely a passing grade for the examination." Shino backed away from Iruka and returned to the class.

"Next is Classman Akamichi." Choji grabbed the weapons and he joined his teacher. When he threw them he threw them with an over hand and he nailed plenty of targets.

"Well done Choji, nine of ten Kunai, ten of ten shuriken, but only two of ten senbon. You tie with your Classman and barely pass the throwing portion, but I am proud of your skills." Choji rejoined the class and next stepped up Sakura.

"Alright Haruno, let's see what you can do." Sakura nodded and breathed, she closed her eyes and when they opened she flung her arm from back to front and released ten kunai, she spun carrying the momentum and released the ten shuriken, she proceeded to do a dip and jumped flipping and spinning in a three hundred and sixty degree spin throwing the ten senbon. When she landed she saw her teacher clapping softly.

"Very well done Classman Haruno, a brilliant display, you managed eight of ten Kunai, nine of ten Shuriken, and ten of ten senbon. You sit at the top of the class currently with twenty-seven points. You impressed me HAruno." Sakura smiled and walked back to the class. This trend continued , Hinata making a barely passing grade of twenty, Kiba making a twenty-three, Shikamaru making a twenty-five, and Sasuke a perfect thirty. It was Naruto's turn, and everyone were held in anticipation. He grabbed the thirty weapons and closed his eyes, he crouched and placed his right hand on the ground his left holding all of the weapons, he quickly stood pivoting on his left foot and threw all thirty weapons. He wasn't done however, he pulled up his hand a chakra bow forming as he pulled back and released three arrows. The shuriken, kunai, and senbon hit first impacting their targets in a perfect thirty but then an arrow hit each of the targets and made them collapse. He turned to his sensei and bowed. Iruka marked down his perfect score and three bonus points. He motioned for Ino to come up, how was she supposed to top that. She shook her head and rushed up with the weapons, and in a display of finesse she threw all thirty of the weapons, but only twenty-two impacted their targets.

"Seven Kunai, Ten Senbon, and five Shuriken. You barely pass." Ino look downtrodden and returned to the class. After the chunin cleared his throat again he motioned to the display board next to him.

These are the standings for the throwing exams:

Aburame 21

Akamichi 21

Haruno 27

Hyuuga 20

Inuzuka 23

Nara 25

Uchiha 30

Uzumaki 33

Yamanaka 22

"Now, we will match you up to opponents fitting to you to show the most of your fights. Kiba, you will face Sasuke, Shikamaru and Shino will fight, Sakura and Ino, Choji and Hinata, and lastly I will personally score Naruto as we do not have a tenth for him. Now, begin your matches!" It went as expected, Kiba held a good fight but Sasuke won, Shino lost to SHikamaru, Sakura defeated Ino, and Hinata lost to Choji. Naruto stepped into the center next to Iruka and took a stance, hand out infront of him in a knife position, his left cocked back in a fist next to his ribs. HE shifted his legs, one directly behind him the other bent infront of him, toes touching the ground only. Iruka took a simple Goken position and nodded.

"Clean fight Naruto, give me all you got." Naruto nodded and Iruka charged, he led with a right hook which Naruto's knife hand swung down and diverted towards thew grouns, Naruto lashed out with his pointed foot, however Iruka twisted to the left and avoided it. Iruka righted himself and Naruto set his feet down and assumed a horse stance and jumped forward, he landed infront of Iruka, hethrew a punch from his ribs towards Iruka's throat. Iruka grabbed his wrist and twisted placing Naruto's arm over his shoulder he bent forward throwing Naruto over his shoulder. The teen righted himself and landed, charging towards the sensei he jumpedthrowing his right fist outward towards the Chunin, Iruka went to grab it and was met with a sharb sandal across the neck. Iruka skidded across the ground and jumped up rubbing his neck.

'He hits hard, and he knows how to block well. I've never seen these forms before." Naruto got back into his Knife hand stance and waited. Iruka not wanting to wait any longer kicked up the pace, he ran towards Naruto with chakra pulsing through his legs. Appearing infront of Naruto he lashed out with his right leg in a whipping side kick, his toes angled towards Naruto's cheek. Naruto raised his left arm quickly and reinforced it with his right in a block that moved Naruto three feet in a skid. Naruto barely had time to react to Iruka's knife hand moving towards his throat, he responded with his own block whipping it to the outward right, Iruka taking the momentum spun backwards bringing his leg around in a wheel kick catching Naruto off guard. Naruto rolled across the ground. He stood and nursed his cheek and saw Iruka, he sighed and got in a stance that Iruka had yet to see. He let his left leg rest in the horse stand but his right leg slid back into the front stance position. Iruka thinking it was a flawed stance rushed forward to capitalize on the moment, but he was taken by surprise. Naruto lashed out with a wheel kick from behind which Iruka blocked overhead, but he blocked his own sight, Naruto capitalized on this and swung around bringing his left leg down on Iruka atop his right leg preassuring the Chunin. The Chuninthrew Naruto back but didn't see Naruto grabbing the back of his head and pulled Iruka with him. He smiled landing but his sensei was on the ground, he saw his sensei stand and Iruka had a busted nose. He heard the Chunin growl and he crossed his arm standing.

"Evaluation over, Naruto, you pass. Your style while strange was good enough to hold me back while I was going easy. You score an eighty-seven of one hundred. You currently sit under Classman Uchiha by ten points. Alright kids, let's head inside to begin the Ninjutsu portion of the exams.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The class walked back into, well, class and they took their seats. Many were gossiping about Naruto and his fight, one of these people being Ino Yamanaka.

"Did you see him?! HE managed to hold of Sensei! How is that possible?" Sakura nodded.

"For someone who we don't know how was trained or his skill level, he managed well against Sensei." Iruka cleared his throat and the two girls turned back to face the class. Iruka started to lead them away into a room one by one and one by one they returned with Hitaite. Naruto was called to come in, when he entered the small room he stood at attention infront of his sensei waiting for his command.

"Now Naruto, we need you to demonstrate the Kawarimi, Henge, and Bunshin Jutsu's. When you are done, if you pass, you may come and select a Hitaite plate and a ribbon if you don't have one already." Naruto nodded and motioned for Iruka to throw something at him, right as it touched him he vanished and left behind a chair. Naruto looked at them from the corner and smiled.

"Very well done, now the Henge." Naruto Henged into his father and his crossed his arms giving Iruka a hard stare.

"You failed the Haruno girl? You know she did well." Iruka nodded and Naruto broke the illusion. He smiled at Naruto.

"Well done, you even got the voice down. Now let us see a Bunshin." Naruto nodded making the Tiger hand seal a replica of him formed next to him. It vanished when Iruka threw a piece of chalk at it.

"Very good Naruto, you may come retrieve a Hitaite and if you have a band you can leave if not please select one." Naruto came and retrieved a plate and took it with him back into the room, he attached it to the left sleeve of his shirt. He took his seat and when Ino was done Iruka walked out.

"Very well done, while some of you barely passed, some of you went beond my expectations. I am pleased to announce the whole class has passed, congratulations." Iruka bowed and the class stood and bowed, speaking as one they said.

"Arigatou, Iruka-Sensei." Iruka smiled and motioned for them to sit.

"You all are dismissed for lunch, be back here for the squad selections in an hour. Class Dismissed." With that the students started to file out of the class, Naruto not knowing where to go followed the other students. Where as they had to wait in line, get their food, and sit down. Naruto's aunt already made him a Bento for the day. He sat down and opened the Bento and began to eat with his chop sticks. HE was halfway done eating the Fried Rice when three bodies sat next to him. Shikamaru began to eat, Ino smiled widely, and Choji started to munch on his food. Ino spoke.

"So Naruto, where are you from?" Naruto placed his chopsticks down and recovered the Bento.

"I am from the Warring Nations as you all call them. They are on the other side fo the world from here and are famous for their peoples abilities."

"Oh? What type of abilities Naruto-kun?" Naruto raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"They are masters of Nature manipulation, not even using chakra and they can transform battlefields, some literally, some figuratively. The most dangerous are the Earth warriors, they can literally change the battlefield by manipulating rock, metal, and lava. The next are the Fire soldiers, they can manipulate flames, some can cast lightning, and others can channel explosive blasts. The third most dangerous are the Wind Nomads, they can manipulate wind currents, the oxygen around you, and even fly if they have the correct training, without the assistance of their gliders of course. Then there are the Water tribesman, they can control water, ice, and if you have the right skills, blood. Though the blood benders are outlawed and if one unlocks the ability they are immediately sealed by the Order of the White Lotus and are locked away for the rest of their lives." Ino listened intensly and burst out a question no one expected.

"So do you have a girlfriend?" Shikamaru choked on the bread he was eating and Choji just stared at her.

"No Ino-San, I haven't had the time to look into a relationship. I was on a very important mission given to me by my countries leader and had to give it all of my attention." Ino nodded and slid closer to Naruto almost pressing her breasts against his arm.

"Would you like to be mine Naruto?" Naruto shook his head softly and muttered.

"I said I didn't have time for a relationship, not that there wasn't someone I liked." Ino blushed and backed away embarrassed. Naruto went back to eating his bento and the four went back to the silence. After the hour was up the class returned to the room and saw the Hokage there and four Jonin.

"Good evening children." The children bowed to him and they took their seats. Minato took out the manila folder and opened the letter within.

"The results of the class are, Team Ten will be assigned under Jonin Asuma Sarutobi. His students are as follows; Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akamichi." Ino smiled widely as she was on a team with her best friends.

"The next team will be Team Eight as Team Nine is still in rotation from last year. Team Eight will be lead by Jonin Kurenai Yuhi. Her students are as follows; Hinata Hyuuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka." The three remained bland until Kiba scoffed. Kurenai caught his eye and silenced him with a glare. Minato smiled softly and looked to the remaining three students, his son, the Haruno prodigy, and the Uchiha boy.

"The final team will be Team Seven. Team Seven will be lead by Jonin Itachi, however as duties befall him your sensei will be substituted with Kakashi Hatake. Their students are as follows; Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Namikaze." Naruto nodded, Sakura smiled softly looking over to Sasuke, and Sasuke scoffed but a firm gaze from Itachi stopped him from saying anything.

"Please students follow your mentors and get to know your team as you are stuck with them until all three members elevate to Chunin status. Good day, and Naruto I will wait outside the Academy to show you to our home." Minato walked out quickly followed by each team and their sensei's. Kurenai took her team to her apartment which she shared with her long friend Anko Mitarashi. Kakashi and Itachi took their students to the roof, and Asuma took his students to the local Bar B Que.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto sat down next to his two team mates and across from his sensei's.

"Now, shall we begin with introductions?" Kakashi smiled widely and Itachi stood.

"I am Itachi of the Uchiha clan. Upon the end of next month I will become the head of the Uchiha clan. I like my clan, my friends, this village, and my girlfriend. I dislike traitors, rapists, murderers, and that ilk. MY hobbies are visiting traditional Japanese Restaurants and training. My dream for the future is to rebuild the Uchiha clan but to unite us not in anger, but in peace." Kakashi sttod next and shoved his hands in his pockets and sighed.

"My turn I guess, my name is Kakashi Hatake. I like somethings, dislike others, I read Icha Icha as my hobby, and my dreams are my own. Now, your turn pinkie." Sakura growled at her nickname from Kakashi and stood.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like flower pressing, my classmates, and my family. I dislike ignorance and hateful people. My hobbies are playing trivia games with my family. My dreams for the future are to become a Kunoichi worthy of Konoha." Naruto stood before anyone could react.

"My name is Naruto Namikaze. I like my country, my family, and the soldiers I served with. I dislike traitors, criminals, and those who lie. My hobbies are increasing my efficiency of my weapons, and training. My dream for the future is to become a man worth to my name and to have a family." Itachi nodded and Kakashi stood.

"Alright then, tomorrow will be your final test to become Shinobi of Konohagakure no Sato. Be at the trainging ground at seven o'clock sharp. Till then my little students." Kakashi vanished with a poof, Itachi and Sasuke Shunshined to their home, Sakura left down the stairs and Naruto jumped off the roof, flipping he landed next to his father.

"You ready to go?" Naruto nodded and the two Namikaze went home.
