Welcome to Unleashed

(A/N: Wow, some of these reviews regarding Naruto! XD I can't stop laughing. It's like people literally forgot how bad he was when he first started out. That is fine, Naruto lashed out with pranks and wasn't afraid to get into anyone's face that talked bad about him. In fact, I think people portray Naruto at the academy completely wrong or make an orphan that is literally hated by most of the population of Konoha too damn smart. Hell, teachers refused to teach him like how teachers do nowadays if you are caught wearing a MAGA hat. Naruto acts like a five-year-old because he doesn't have anyone that gave a shit about him to teach him anything of importance. Having Iruka for a couple of years will not change the effects society has had on him until that point. Not even Hiruzen could do that. That's whatever, I'm portraying Naruto in a new light anyway. I honestly don't think Naruto would be as intelligent as people write him out to be is all I'm saying. Let's get this started.

Lastly, some chapters might be shorter or longer depending on where I want to stop.)

Sensei Has The Keys

Academy Training Grounds

Naruto blinked as he stared at Kakashi with his mouth agape, his hands gripped the Forehead protector tighter. He shook his head a few times to rid himself of the shock. "Wait, what?" The boy questioned fearing he had heard wrong.

His sensei glance down at him, "That headband belong to your father. I gave it to you because he wanted you to have it." The man said to him. So he had heard right. The headband did belong to his father. Was this his chance to finally find out more about his parents? He was quick to become very determined to hear more of his father and if all possible his mother too. He needed something now that he knew someone knew them. This was his big chance he had been waiting for!

He was quick to get closer to the man, "Please," he begged, "I have been asking the old man for so long who my parents are. Please tell me who they are!" He had to know now that he found out that someone did know who they were. He felt his inner turmoil rising higher and higher with each passing moment.

"I will tell you, however, not here and you must keep everything I say a secret because what I'm going to tell you is an S-class secret. There are very few people that know about who your father and mother were. I will also have you know that the only reason you are finding out about this is because of two reasons." He put up two fingers to emphasize this point, "One, I believe you should know because as my apprentice I need for you to have faith in me and trust me. Finding out that I knew about them and not told you would bad for our relationship. The second reason is that there is a rule regarding the apprenticeship; I have full control over you and I decide what you know and what you don't. These rules have been put in place since the second Hokage and have not been changed since. Do you understand what I'm telling you?"

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I think so." His voice lacked confidence. The shock must still have a hold on him. If he thought of what his sensei had said, he knew he couldn't say anything about what he was about to learn. He also learned that that Kakashi believed he should know about his parents. He didn't care about the relationship part all that much because he was still telling him something which was more than anyone had. He was also still trying to learn what he was talking about with the second reason. Sure, he understood what the man was saying but what was the point of him saying it?

He did say this was an S-class secret. If he remembers correctly that was the highest class for information. He forgot what the punishments were regarding those types of secrets were. All he did remember was that you were not suppose to tell anyone if you knew it. It was almost better to forget those kinds of secrets once you were told them. Which meant that if he wasn't his apprentice! 'I would have never learned about this in the first place!' He realized. This was his only shot at learning about them he would ever have!

"You think or you know?" The man asked with a raised eyebrow.

Naruto swallowed the air that was caught in his throat. He couldn't let uncertainty rule him at this moment and ruin his chance of finding out the questions he had since birth! "I know!" The boy's voice hardened as he was fast to answer showing he did understand.

"Good," The man finished with a wave of his as he turned away from Naruto and started walking away, "Follow me, we will walk and talk."

That was a lot to take in on one go. He had to jog to catch up to the man but fell into step with the man as he was walking at a casual pace. "Where are we going?"

"The hospital," Naruto sent his sensei a questioning look. "I want a physical done on you and a couple of tests done as well."

Naruto grimaced at that, he hated hospitals. They never treated him right. They were always rough on him and made him stay longer than he wanted. It was like they knew he didn't like them. "I don't really like the hospital." He muttered to himself but his sensei had overheard him.

"Don't worry, I know someone that will treat you just fine. I have read over your file and I understand your dislike of them." Kakashi replied, "If it helps, I will watch over you while they take the tests."

Naruto looked up at the man with a sheepish grin. It was clear he hadn't expected the man to hear him. "Thanks, it would help a little."

"No problem, we will head over to your place after that so we can talk." The man said but Naruto saw it as more of a declaration.

"If that's the case let get there now!" The boy exclaimed getting excited and took off to the hospital leaving Kakashi in the dust at his wake.

Kakashi smirked under his mask. 'Too easy.' He knew what buttons to push to get the boy going. He kept his pace and followed after the boy. There was no need to rush. The hospital was right down the street anyway.

Hospital

Kakashi stood outside the room observing the boy through the window in the door. They were done with all the test and he was eager to see the boys results. He had to know just what he was dealing with on a physical level. The boy was small, and he had a feeling that jacket he was wearing was hiding his form.

He turned to wear his ears picked up footsteps. He saw the good doctor approaching him, "Doctor, what do you have for me?" Kakashi inquired seeing the folder in the man's hands. The doctor has short white hair that was combed, green eyes, with tan skin. He stood just a little shorter than him.

The doctor handed him the file, "I'm guessing you want to break it to him, right?"

"Yes, I will go over his results with him. So what right and wrong with him?"

"He suffering from extreme malnourishment, his musical mass is low, his height is below average for a male his age, and so is his body weight. I find it unfathomable he is the way he is without showing it in his current condition. Another thing I can't understand is how his muscles are not weaker than they are, his bones as well. It's like his body can't get any worse than it already is. There is also some bad news, I don't believe he will get much taller than five foot. His body has suffered for far too long for there to be a chance for him to get taller than that." The doctor sighed, "Though I have been wrong before, you think you have the answer for why he isn't any worse?"

"I think I have an idea." Kakashi said closing the folder in his hands, "Thanks doctor, you been a big help." He dismissed the man. The doctor knew when to take a hint. It was a secret that they couldn't discuss. "Have a wonderful day Kakashi."

"You too Bois," Kakashi said putting the folder under his arm and opening the door to where Naruto was sitting on the bed waiting for him. He smiled seeing him jump off the bed looking excited.

"Yo, how'd I do?"

Kakashi shrugged, "About what I expected, who do you feel about being tall?"

Naruto looked confused for a second, "Uh, what's that have to do with anything?"

"Just answer the question Naruto."

Naruto frowned and rubbed his chin in thought, "I don't know, I have always been the shortest one in the class and among the other kids. I guess I really don't care. I do hate it when they call me shrimp or runt though!" He yelled the last part out to emphasize his point on the name calling.

"Well, you might want to get used to it." Naruto tilted his head at Kakashi and was quick to send him a glare, "The doctor thinks you won't get any taller than five foot even."

"How dare he say something like- wait how tall is that?" The boy stopped in mid-rant. Causing Kakashi to eye smile at him. He put a hand to the top of his head and lowered it all the way down to where five-foot reached him. "Oh, does that mean I will be a bad shinobi if I'm short?" There was honest concern in his voice at that.

"No, I mean I'm taller than the Hokage was at his prime and he could easily beat me in a fight. Then you also have Ōnoki who is shorter than you and he is the Tsuchikage. So what I'm trying to say is no." Kakashi explained to the boy that it didn't really matter regarding height.

Naruto waved his hand dismissively, "Then who cares about height! Who is this Tsuchikage?"

Kakashi blinked at that, 'Does he seriously not know who that is?' The man wondered in amazement. Naruto wasn't stupid, he was just not taught anything!

"He is the leader of Iwagakure. Naruto, the fact you want to be Hokage and don't know that is a bad sign." The boy looked dejected at his answer, "Don't worry I will fix that too," He sighed loudly putting a hand through his hair, "Any other questions about your health?" There was so much work to be on the boy it was aggravating. How could this of happened!

"So what else is there about me?" The boy asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Your body is in bad condition and I believe only one thing is stopping you from feeling your body's plight. In fact, I also believe it is what is stopping your body from getting worse."

Naruto leaned closer, "Yeah? Well, what is that?" He seemed eager to find out what this thing was that Kakashi was alluding to.

Kakashi had read over the report and had decided to make a drastic decision. "Before I tell you that, there had been a change of plans. We will go to your place, you will pack your things and you will move in with me. There is a lot of things you will have to learn after reading over this report. A proper diet is one of them."

Naruto looked at Kakashi with bewilderment before his eyes narrowed, "Does that mean I will have to stop eating ramen?"

Kakashi shook his head, "No, eat less of it, yes, but stop, no."

Naruto didn't look pleased with the answer but he sighed, "Fine, what this about moving in with you though? Do even have enough space?"

"My house has plenty of room for you. You are moving in with me so I can train you one on one. Seeing your lack of diet, health, skills, and intelligence I had to make this decision. I swear on your father that by the time that I am done with you, he and your mother would be proud of you."

He looked away from the boy that seemed to have some tears rolling down his cheeks, 'Then they might just forgive me for allowing this to happen to him. I'm so sorry it took me this long but I will make this right.'

Naruto's Apartment

They arrived at the small apartment and you could see the nervousness on Naruto's face. He had a feeling that something like this might happen. Kakashi, of course, knew why the blond was hesitating. The Hokage had given the man access to the apartment to get a better look into the life of Naruto Uzumaki. He never wanted to come back to this place after being inside for over an hour. However, it did look a lot better than the last time he was here.

The blond steeled himself in front of him. He turned the knob and threw the door open, "Here is my ho-" Yeah, it wasn't time to lie to the boy. He needed honesty because he had no one to teach him anything. He had no social values and the one he picked were not all that great. In fact, all he could do. Pick up things that he saw and act them out. It was a real shame what the village, Hell, he had done for the boy.

"It's a mess." Was Kakashi's quick reply to seeing the disorder of place. His trashcan was overflowing, papers scattered all over the floors along with some scrolls on the ground. 'Those were not here last time.' Ramon cups as far as the eye could see. Plates piled up high in the sink and clothes on the sofa. Heck half of the clothes don't even look like they fit the blond anymore. Either Naruto was a hoarder or just a very messy slob. Kakashi figured it to be the former. He had nothing and based on what he could people did not want to sell to him. Well, people would sell to him, if the refused to because Naruto was under his wing he would find a way around it. He was silk like that. "Your room at my place will not look like this."

"It's not cleaning day yet!" The boy whined at the state of his apartment being called out. Oh, he had a day were cleans everything? Kakashi sent the boy a skeptical look.

"Naruto that shirt doesn't fit you." He pointed to the shirt laying on the couch.

Naruto looked at the shirt then back at Kakashi, "Yeah, I was planning on using that for a prank." He rubbed the back of his head nervously. Kakashi rolled his eyes but it did get him thinking.

"You know, that prank you did when you painted the Hokage faces was pretty daring I must say." Kakashi praised the boy on that regard. The kid was a master prankster and to pull off painting the faces in broad daylight was pretty damn stealthy. It showed the boy did have talent. It was just untapped.

Naruto swelled up with pride, "I did wearing my orange jacket and pants too!"

'Holy shit, how did he do that?!' Kakashi shook his head at the thoughts entering his head. This kid could be something else if trained right, and that was his plan. If Naruto was going to be with him for a while he had to get the boy ready for his bad luck. "That is impressive, I don't think I could have pulled that off. Hold did you manage it?"

"Oh! I studied the portal patterns. And learned of a day when the Hokage was going to meet one of the clan heads. I figured that the ANBU would be around the Hokage and I was lucky that I was right. I did it at sunrise when the orange-yellow make the orange jacket blend in with the mountain. I also used red and white paint first since they blend in with the lighting then I used cool colors when the sun became overcast. It was pretty simple really. Then when the sun reappeared... Boom everyone saw it!" The boy explained his ingenious plan. Which totally was by all accounts. If this much thought went into all of the boy's pranks the boy was skillful at planning.

"How long did it take you to plan for this?"

Naruto thought about it, "About," He paused, "Three days of planning, three weeks to get all the resources together."

'I can work with this. Its seems Minato-sensei's processing power went down to Naruto.' Clearing his throat. "Alright, start getting your things together so we can leave this pigsty. Whatever you do want I will discard it. We will clean this place up later and fill it with new furniture since ones you do have are broken and are at the last condition before they have to be thrown out. We could use this place as a Hideout or something? I don't know quite yet."

Naruto looked lost but eventually nodded and ran to the backroom. Kakashi finally entered into the place and looked around. It was just so messy, it might take a while to clean this place. They really should just burn the place down. The Hokage had bought the whole building for Naruto since the previous owners were getting ideas with how to mistreat the boy. That did not sit very well with the Hokage.

He bent over and picked up one of the scrolls on the ground. It was one of those sealing scroll the Academy made to teach the kids how to make storage scrolls. It was the only fūinjutsu that the academy taught. Hell, most kids gave up on the stuff because the concepts were so hard. However, looking around the small dirty living room, there was at least ten of said scrolls not counting the one in his hand. He could see the handwriting was different on the rest of the scrolls.

'Wait, does that mean...?' His thoughts were cut short as Naruto walked out of his room and down the hallway. He turned to look at the boy who was eyeing him, "What are these Naruto?"

"Oh, those are just storage scrolls. I wouldn't open them if I were you. Trash and stuff." The boy told him.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow at him, "Well, that explains why it's less of a mess." He whispered to himself. "How long have you been making these?"

"I finally got them down a week ago. It was my handwriting that was the problem apparently. I wish Mizuki-sensei would have said something but I guess he had his own reasons. Fucker." The pre-teen spits out the name. Kakashi hummed in understanding knowing what the boy was talking about.

"These look a little different than the normal academy ones," Kakashi noted looking over the academy scroll and the other one he just picked up. 'This one holds more? How? Is he already experimenting with seals?'

The boy grinned and dug around one of his bags in an excited way, "Here," He said as he pulled out a book.

"Ahh, that explains it." It was a book about Uzushio. He saw a library card in it and notice that it hadn't been checked out. 'He stole this?' He said his thoughts, "This book hasn't been checked out."

Naruto looked guilty, "Yeah, the library doesn't like me much so I take the books without asking and put them back once I'm done with them. Hey did you know the Academy seals are wrong? They are limiting the sealing potential of the seal? That and they are leaving out the Uzumaki spiral which helps with the sealing process!"

Kakashi blinked at the boy, "You do realize Naruto, the Uzumaki spiral can only be done by Uzumakis right? It like it is hard programmed in their blood it far too complicated for anyone else."

The blond blinked, "Huh, shit. So I am an Uzumaki. It's not just a name given to me."

"Okay, before we get into that subject. I would like to drop all other explosive tags at my place so we can get that all out the way. You can ask me anything once we are there." Kakashi stopped the boy from a sea of questions that were likely to come. "You got everything."

The boy nodded at him but he was clearly lost in thought. He had gotten the boy thinking about this family once again. This was going to be a long day.

"Good, let's get out of here then."

Kakashi leads the boy out of his apartment and locked the door for him.

They walked down the stairs and Kakashi saw the sun. It was about four. "Hey, let's get something to eat first. Ramen?" The man asked hoping to get the boy's spirit higher. It worked but a lesser effect than he had hoped for.

"Yeah, I could go for a bowl."

"Lead the way."

Kakashi's Home

"Okay Naruto, before I show inside to my home I want to introduce to some friends of mine. I'm sure you will get along with them easily."

Naruto didn't look all that confident in his sensei statement. "I don't Know Kakashi-sensei. People always have a bad outlook at me before the meet me." He finished by kicking a small rock on the dirt road. They had just finished eating and were heading to Kakashi's home. Naruto was expecting the man to live this far out. He lived right by the Great Wall of Konoha wall. It was a secluded place that was covered by large trees and in a clearing was his house that looked like it had a small training ground and a tall wall. "Woah, your house is pretty big."

He saw the tall man nod at him, "My mother was kind of a rich diplomate that worked for the past Fire Daimyō. My father was also a very skilled Jounin too. I'm not a slouch either."

He nodded his head, "That's pretty cool," He really didn't know what else to say to that.

"Oh and Naruto," Naruto turned his head to look up at Kakashi, "I never said, people." He gained a confused look on his face at that. Then what was Kakashi going to introduce him to? A tree? Much to the surprise of Naruto, Kakashi whistled. The next thing he knew a bunch of dogs ran up to the tall man from behind the house. They were all of various sizes and colors. Then one of them talked.

"Whos this kid Kakashi?" Asked the large black dog. 'They can talk!'

"That's Naruto Uzumaki, he will be living with us from now on as he is my apprentice. Naruto let me introduce my Ninkin." The man began his introductions.

"This is Pakkun." Kakashi motioned with his hand to a small dog.

"Yo." The little dog greeted him. Pakkun is a small, pug-like dog with brown fur and a dark brown snout and ears. He has pink-colored paws and wears a blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector, but his is worn on top of his head. He also wears a bandage on his right front leg. He was also sitting on top of the big dog's head.

"Bull," Bull is the largest of Kakashi's dog. He has dark fur and wears a spiked collar. He also wears the standard, or what he was seeing as the standard outfit of Kakashi's ninken which consists of a blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector worn on his left front leg.

"Urushi," Urushi has white and light-brown fur, along with long spiky tufts of hair on his head. His eyes always seemed to look angry. Being one of Kakashi's ninken, he wears the standard blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector around his neck.

"Shiba," Shiba has light grey fur with a white underside and a black crest on his head reminiscent of a mohawk. His eyes are round and have dark markings above them. He also wears the standard outfit of Kakashi's ninken which consists of a blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector around his neck and bandages on his front legs.

"Bisuke," Bisuke has tan-colored fur with brown highlights on his long ears and legs. He has the kanji for "shinobi" in the middle of his forehead and has dark, circular markings around his eyes. He wears the standard outfit of Kakashi's ninken which consists of a blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector around his neck.

"Akino," Akino has tan fur with one white stripe starting from the top of his head and going down his muzzle. He wears sunglasses and the standard outfit of Kakashi's ninken, consisting of a blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector around his neck.

"Ūhei," Ūhei greatly resembles a greyhound. He is auburn in color with a white underside and snout. Along with the standard blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal, and a Konoha forehead protector around his neck. He also wears bandages around his neck, head and left front paw.

"Last but not least, Guruko!" Guruko has tan fur, a white snout, long ears that have a dark brown color and noticeably more pronounced whiskers than the other ninken. He wears the standard outfit of Kakashi's ninken, which consists of a blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector on his forehead.

"These are my Ninkin. There are summoning animals and will be yours when I believe you are ready for them." The man finished.

"It great to meet you all!"

"You as well." Akino said as he looked to Kakashi, "Kakashi, is he the one?"

"Yes, and speaking of which, it is time you finally learn the truth Naruto. Come on inside. I'll show you around the place after were are done with our talk. I have made you wait long enough. Alright, inside the house everyone."
