The next day when Naruto woke up he found that his sensei was already up and Naruto smelled something that he had never smelt before but made his mouth water.

He got up and walked over and looked at the item on the table and asked "What is that Master."

Raph laughed and said "Let me introduce you to the wonders of pizza. Dig in." as he handed Naruto a slice.

After 20 minutes when they finished eating Raph said "Now Naruto, I have spoken with the Hokage after you fell asleep last night and I have asked him for permission to train you to be a ninja."

Naruto eyes got wide and he said "Really master."

Raph nods and said "He agreed to let me take you on a training trip in my own time so this evening we will be leaving the village to learn the ways of the ninja but don't worry, you will be allowed to return."

Naruto who started to say something stopped when he heard that and said "So what will you be teaching me sensei."

Raph said "Many things but amongst them is patience. For now I want you to begin your training, I want you to do 10 sit ups, 10 pushups with both arms, 10 pushups with each arm, 10 jumping jacks, 10 standing kick with each leg, and run 10 laps around the circle I drawed on the floor. After that you will rest for 10 minutes and begin again. You are not to speak at all during your training because you need to learn to be silent in order to learn stealth and I am going to listen and if you make to much noise I will add 1 to all of your excercises without increasing your rest time. If you speak at all until I tell you it's OK to speak then that is automatically 1 added. Do you understand."

Naruto nods and Raph said "Good, begin."

That evening Naruto was running laps when Raph returned with the Sandaime and Naruto said "Jiji."

Raph said "That's another one Naruto."

Naruto bit his lip and kept on running and the Sandaime raised an eyebrow and Raph explained the excercise and the idea of the penalty and the Sandaime said "So how many is he up to."

Raph said "That's the surprising thing, he's only up to 20 of each counting the one I just added and he's been doing it pretty much all day besides when he helped me make lunch and his short allowed breaks."

The Sandaime nods and said "That's very good Naruto-kun....can he stop because I would like to talk to him."

Raph said "Alright Naruto, you can stop."

Naruto said "Thank Kami, my feet were hurting like hell."

The Sandaime said "So Naruto, Rapheal told me he has explained to you about you leaving on a training trip with him. Is this true."

Naruto got an excited look on his face and said "Yes. I can't wait because when I get back I'll be strong enough to take that hat from you jiji."

Sarutobi laughed and said "Well you must be planning to train very hard then....but I look forward to your return. I have this scroll here for you with several things inside it and all you have to do is put some chakra in the seal to make them come out but don't worry, I'm told someone will be there to help you learn to use your chakra.....so are you sure you want to do this Naruto."

Naruto nods and Sarutobi said "Very well. I wish you good luck on your journey and a safe and quick return Naruto." as he hugged Naruto.

Naruto asked "Are we going to leave now sensei or are we waiting or what."

Raph laughed and said "Yes, I suppose we can leave now. Is there anything you wish to bring with you or someone you wish to say bye to."

Naruto thought and said "Besides Jiji the only ones whose ever been nice to me were the people at the ramen stand...but they don't have time for me because of all their other customers that often so I guess no."

Raph said "Very well, then let me grab the sceptor then." as he walked over to the armor or Shredder and pulled off the helmet and pulled a piece of fishing string that was tied to it out pulling a sceptor that was made of bamboo and gold that was about 3 foot long and said "This is what we came to call the Time sceptor. Originally it took one person from the future and put them in the past while taking a person from the past and putting them in the future...luckily one of my families many adventures gave us a chance to meet the person who created this sceptor and he changed it to allow a person to go without taking someone. Now Naruto, if you would please take that scroll and the one on the table you saw me working on earlier and come here.....good, now grab the sceptor and hold on."

Naruto grabbed the sceptor which began to glow and he looked at Raph who took a step back and said "But what about yo...." as he disappeared with the sceptor.

The Sandaime eyes were wide as he saw Naruto disappear and before he had a chance to say anything Raph fell to his knees and began to cough as blood flew out of his mouth stopping the Sandaime.

The Sandaime waited until he quit coughing and asked "Are you alright, what happened. Where's Naruto. Why are you still here."

Raph coughed again and said "I kept my word Hokage-sama and Naruto is now going to the future to be trained by me and Rin...but it is the me of my past when I was younger and my brothers and master were still alive. When I came here this time I was coming for my final trip to visit my brothers so that I may be burried beside them. You may not can tell it but I am nearly as old as you are and my injuries from past battles have finally caught up with me. I have now repaid my dept to Minato and Kushina by giving their son a chance at a better life...if you would, there is a map on the bottom of the table over there, it shows the location of my brothers graves. Would you honor me a humble request and bury me there with them and keep this place a secret because when Naruto returns this all belongs to him now and will be where he will return to. Good.....bye." as he fell forward on the ground.

The Sandaime checked him for any signs of life and said "You may not have been human but you had more honor then most...For helping Naruto I will honor your final request." as he closed Raphs eyes.

With Naruto.

Naruto was holding onto the sceptor when he felt the ground shift under him and he found himself in another sewer and a few moments later he found several weapons pointing at him and saw 4 turtles and he looked at them and said "Master Rapheal." causing the turtles to look at Raph and asked "Master."

An older voice said "It appears that you took up the art of teaching my son. Please stand down all of you." as Naruto turned and said "Um....I don't know what's going on but are you Mikey, Donny, Leo, and Master Splinter."

Splinter said "Yes we are young one, but the quesion should be who are you." as he walked forward.

Naruto said "I'm Naruto Uzumaki...and I have one question, how are you all alive when Master Rapheal told me you 3 died in the final battle against the Shredder and you died of old age Master Splinter."

Splinter asked "Where or should I ask when are you from."

Naruto said "I am from Konoha in the year xxxx."

Splinter said "I see....you have a couple of scrolls with you and I recognise my sons handwriting, may I see that scroll. Perhaps it will explain things."

Naruto nods and hands the scroll to Splinter who opens the scroll and reads

Master Splinter

This boy is the son of Minato and Kushina. His village see him as a monster because his father sealed the Kyuubi no Kitsune inside of him but the boy doesn't know this or who his parents are and he should not be told until he is mentally ready to know.

I found him near death after the villagers attacked him and if I had more time I would have done this my self but I am as Donny would say, about to become one with the force.

I ask that you train him to become a ninja, a true ninja, because he has 10 years before he will have to return. Rin will also need to teach him how to use chakra and the Sandaime Hokage is sending a scroll to help with that. I don't know what else to tell you or ask you to do but please fulfill my final request father.

Rapheal

Splinter closed the scroll up and tucked it in his robes and looked at Naruto and asked "What has Rapheal taught you so far."

Naruto said "He just had me doing basic excercises so far of jumping jacks, sit ups, pushups, and laps since we only recently met...he did teach me how to make a pizza though." with a smile on his face as he lightly licked his lips.

Splinter shook his head and said "You will fit in well here with my sons. Turtles, we have been asked to teach young Naruto here in the true art of being a ninja. I have agreed to do so. Will you help me."

Leo said "Of coarse we will sensei...but may we ask why we were ask to and not the Raph from whenever he was from."

Splinter looked at them and said "When I feel you should know I will tell you then. Now Leo, please contact April and inform her that we will be coming to stay with her at her family farm soon for an extended stay. The rest of you begin packing and Naruto, may I have the sceptor."

Naruto looked at it and said "Um...yes Master Splinter, sensei told me that I could trust you all if I ever met you. I would have freaked out if he wouldn't of told me you were a Rat though."

Splinter laughed and said "I can imagine, for now just rest young one. We have much to do and you need all your strength for the challenges ahead."

Naruto said "Yes Master Splinter." as he walked over and set down in the corner away from everyone which caused the turtles to glance at each other and Splinter who was watching Naruto and each thought along the same lines. "OK, Somethings wrong if he thinks he has to stay in the corner away from everyone."

Splinter however thought "His mind will take even longer to fix then his body." as he began to get ready.
