A/N: Thank you to all that reviewed. I Really want to thank bechtel1 for the advice on my Kyuubi explanation as well as the tips. I understand my last chap was rather disappointing and rushed. I only hope this one is much better and I apologize for my previous below par work.

Hanabi Hyuuga could at only stare at the blonde boy in sitting in the hospital bed. She was a little surprised to see the boy in front of her. Only hours ago he was lying on the ground dying. Here he was sitting like nothing happened. As she sat there and examined him she noticed now that he looked much smaller and younger than he did before. She then remembered what she found out about him. He contained the nine tailed fox with in him. She remembered his cheesy smile, and imagined what kind of life he lived. He probably went through hell, judging by the way others spoke of him and he still put on a smile. He had more strength than any one she had ever met. She turned her focus to his face and then his cerulean blue eyes. A red tint shaded her cheeks, then she noticed he was staring at her waiting for her to answer him.

"My name is Hyuuga, Hanabi." She said a little quickly.

"Hanabi huh. You are funny you know. And you have the same eyes as Hinata." Naruto said while putting his hand to his chin, as if he were thinking. "Come to think of it, she did mention having a sister. She even said she had to spar her. What a weird family."

"Hello, I am right here in the same room, and yes we did have to spar. I still can't believe she beat me." Hanabi said getting slightly annoyed and angry.

"Hinata won huh. I guess what I said to here really helped her. I didn't think that she would take what I said so seriously. Guess she likes me more than I thought. Why did you guys have to fight any way?"

"Hmph. That is a matter between my family. A simple commoner like you wouldn't understand." Hanabi spat her normal self finally showing.

Naruto turned his head down, looking at the sheets. "I didn't have a family growing up, so your right. But, I do know who my father is."

Hanabi berated herself for her harsh words. She forgot that he was an orphan.

"Naruto…I am sorry…I was wrong to say that. She apologized sincerely.

It was then that a nurse decided to check in. She came in with a venomous glare on her face.

"Oh, I see that you are awake. I will go get the Hokage." She then turned back around and went towards the door. Muttering "demon brat" underneath her breath. Not realizing she was in a room full of shinobi with heightened hearing due to their training, she did not know what was coming. Naruto and Iruka both looked threateningly at the offender. Hanabi, on the other hand reacted in a way that surprised even her. In a blur she was behind the nurse with her arm around her wrist. Her pale eyes burning with anger.

"That is not how you treat a patient or the boy that saved your ass from Kyuubi. If it were not for Naruto then the fox would have destroyed the village and you may not be alive today. It's a wonder he still wants to protect and serve this village with trash like you belittling him so badly." Hanabi spat with a deadly edge. She let go of the terrified nurse who then ran out the door.

Naruto looked up at the small girl with new respect. Very few people ever stood up for him when it came to his tenant. He looked at her, his eyes beaming, and nodded his thanks. Hanabi only nodded back still confused about why she lost it like that. She was a Hyuuga, and that meant she was supposed to be calm and controlled. Alas, since she came into contact with Naruto she let her emotions run rapid. Though she was only seven, the way she was raised made her much smarter than any average kid her age. In her clans eyes she was royalty and should act as such. Still she felt Naruto deserved it.

It was then that the Hokage decided to walk in the room. He had felt the small amount of killer intent that Hanabi unconsciously leaked. He turned his eyes two the three in the room. It seemed that Iruka had yet to speak but sat there smiling fondly at the two youngsters. Naruto and Hanabi were both gazing into each other's eyes with curiosity. He could tell that a bond was forming. The young ones then turned their gaze to him. He smiled when he was the will of fire burning in both of their eyes. Seeing this made his next decision easier.

"Naruto, I am glad to see you up and well. You had us scared for a minute. So I am to assume that you know about your tenant?" Sarutobi asked.

"Hai, Ji-Ji, but I am confused on how Hanabi knows. She just defended me when that nurse called me a demon brat as if she knew." Naruto answered slightly confused

"Ah, well it seems that she found you some time after you took the scroll." Sarutobi blushed at the memory due to Naruto's choice of Jutsu. "Any way, she then followed you from the shadows and watched all of tonights events transpire. She heard what Mizuki had said. She also was the one who killed him after he attacked you." Sarutobi said

Naruto looked wide eyed at the young Byakugan user.

"Yeah, well he was going to kill you." Hanabi said with a blush due to Naruto's thankful look.

The Hokage cleared his throat to get the two's attention. Once he had it he continued.

"Now I am not going to ask for details right now, but, I would like to know exactly how it is that your seal looks different and why you look to be seven years old?" Sarutobi asked giving him a stern look.

"Well, you see…I ended up in my mind somehow and was in front of the Kyuubi's cage. He was screaming in pain. Then my father showed up and told him to start healing me or we would both die. He then told me to lay on my back and he fixed the seal. He told me he was there as a safety measure if the Kyuubi ever tried to take me over or the seal was damaged." Naruto explained as though it was the most normal thing in the world.

It was everyone else's turn to widen their eyes. Both Hanabi and Iruka wondered who Naruto's father was. Sarutobi how ever started to sweat a little nervously.

"So who exactly is your father?" Sarutobi asked

"TheYondaime." Naruto replied with a smile.

" Well this saves us a conversation in the future. I hope you are not mad at me not telling you. I did know after all. " Sarutob said with pleading eyes.

"I understand Ji-Ji. My dad had a lot of enemies who would have came for me to get revenge." Naruto replied surprising everyone with his logic.

"Well, very good then. I assume you will all that your father left to you, but, with it being so late that will have to wait till tomorrow. Now, about you being as you appear now, I am afraid that you will have to re-enter the academy. I do not know that this has done to you chakra. You did, on the other hand show great skill tonight and Iruka was going to pass you. I am really sorry, Naruto."

"I understand. Kyuubi told me I would need time to adjust and get back to the way I was any way."

"You talked to the Kyuubi?" Sarutobi asked fearfully. Though, he assume this would happen sooner or later, hoping for later."

"Yeah, and it turns out he is not evil." Naruto answered.

"Still, do be careful. He is a demon after all."

"I will."

"Well, you have three months until the academy starts again, so I advise you to take that time to strengthen your skills. I will try to find someone to help you a little here and there, though, I can't make any promises. Sarutobi said. Naruto nodded with a huge grin at the idea of more training. "It is rather late and I still have much to do. You are clear to go home if you wish. Miss Hyuuga, your father asked that I send you home after Naruto had awoken. Since that was a bit ago, I suggest that you do as he asks." He then gave them one last smile before turning to leave.

The room fell silent. Each occupant was retaining all the learned tonight. Iruka decided to finally break the silence.

"Naruto, I want to thank you for saving me tonight. I also want to tell you that I am proud of you and that I will an honor to serve under you as Hokage." Iruka said with a heartfelt smile.

Naruto jumped out of his bed and launched himself at the scarred Chunin. Iruka laughed and returned the embrace. He smiled at his practical little brother and ruffled his hair. Hanabi only rolled her eyes at the awkward moment. Once the brotherly love was over they stood and shook hands.

"Naruto, why don't you head home and I will escort our lady friend home." Iruka commanded more than said.

"No, Iruka-sensei, I want to walk her home. I have some questions for her." Naruto all but begged.

"Fine. But make it quick and then you go straight home and rest." Iruka commanded.

They all nodded before leaving the hospital.

The walk to the Hyuuga compound was a rather peacefull one. The two were silent the whole time but was comfortable and not awkward. The finally reached the main entrance to the vast collection of houses and buildings. The two seven year olds turned to each other.

"It was an honor meeting you, Hanabi-chan" Naruto said before feeling a sharp pain in his arm.

"Don't. Call. Me. That." Hanabi demanded with a glare.

"Fine, geeze you don't need to get all Sakura on me." He said sheepishly. This earned him a confused look from Hanabi.

"I bid you good night." She said after a minute. Hanabi turned to leave when she saw her father in front of her.

"I assume you are Uzamaki Naruto." He said looking at the boy still in hospital garments. His clothes were discarded do to the bloody mess they had become.

Naruto only nodded his head dumbly, his fear of the intimidating clan head apparent.

"I want you to come by tomorrow. I will have a Hanabi and some of my help take you to get some new clothes. Hanabi will also teach you some basic chakra control because from what I hear, yours is pathetic." Again Naruto nodded dumbly " Good, and my name is Hyuuga Hiashi. I am Hanabi's father. Thank you for walking her home, but you can call me Hiashi-Sama. Come along Hanabi." He said as he turned to leave.

Hanabi hesitated, confused by her father's offer. It was unlike him. Not questioning this small change in him, she bid Naruto good night and followed.

Naruto smiled his whole way home. He was finally being accepted, and by a cute girl too. He then stopped realizing he thought Hanabi was cute. Shrugging it off he continued his way to his apartment. Once he arrived he went straight to his bed and passed out.

The next morning he rose fairly early as the sun was just rising. He yawned and went to find something to wear. Only finding some shorts and a t shirt with the Konoha insignia on it that fit he made due. He then ventured to his kitchen and started to prepare his breakfast. Ramen. After he had finished it he decided it was time to see the old man. After locking his door he left for the Hokage's office.

Sarutbo Hiruzen yawned loudly. He had not gotten much sleep since when he returned to his office he gathered everything that Minato left his sun. This contained many blood sealed scrolls, a letter, and keys to his new home. He pictured Naruto's face when would finally see the huge estate he now owned. He then prepared the papers needed to change Naruto's last name. He assumed that Naruto would want to since it was only natural. As he was neatly placing the documents and such in a pile, there was knock on his door.

"Come in" He said.

Naruto entered his adopted grandfather's office. It always smelled of pipe tobacco. As soon as he entered the Hokage's smiling face greeted him.

"Naruto, how are you feeling this morning."

"Good Ji-Ji."'

"Good. Now, What I have here are some scrolls and letter bound by a blood seal. Only the blood of a descendant of the Yondaime can open them. To do so you simply bite your finger and smear the blood over the seal." He paused waiting for Naruto to nod in understanding." There is also a set of keys to you new home. I will have an ANBU show you where it is later today. Also, do you wish to change your last name to that of your father's" He paused again, seeing Naruto start to speak he interjected."Please understand that in doing so you may attain some unwanted attention as well as new threats and enemies. There is also a high chance that people will start respecting you solely because of who your dad was."

"I understand, but I know it's what my dad wanted. Besides, I will show them I deserve it no matter what." He replied his eyes blazing. This made Sarutobi smile with pride.

" I am glad to hear that. Please sign here." He said handing the blonde a pen. 'You will make your father proud Naruto'

"Can I go now, I have to meet Hanabi-chan….I mean Hanabi now."

Sarutobi smiled at the added suffix and nodded try to hold in his laughter.

Naruto grabbed all of his stuff and ran out of the office. A few moments later he arrived at the Hyuuga compound out of breath. Hanabi and a branch member were already waiting for him.

"Baka, you are late." She said with a glare.

"Sorry Hanabi-chan...OUCH!"

" I SAID NOT TO CALL ME THAT YOU MORON"

From inside the compound Hiashi only smiled as he heard his daughter yell at the blonde enigma.

"Hinata, do it again" He said having here start her katas again.
