A/N: *Turns Chibi* P.S. I wike reviews so pwese review

Naruto laid in his bed waiting for his alarm clock to ring. There was just so much going through his head at the moment. Then suddenly, at the same time his alarm clock went off, Naruto received a memory from a clone he had made.

Instantly, the blonde was up and dressed. Before he left, he created a shadow clone and gave it instructions to get his ninja license photo taken if he didn't make it back in time. Within minutes, Naruto was standing outside the library. He used his chakra to jump off the walls between the library and a building off to the left to arrive at an open window. Once inside, he ran to the location his clone was at.

On the table Naruto could feel a book, about twice as thick as the version he remembered from the academy. Naruto opened the book and slowly turned the pages, counting each one until he arrived at page four-hundred and fifty. "Scientia effusion (knowledge absorption)."Instantly, the words started glowing before turning into symbols which then rose from the page. The strange glyph-like markings then flew into Naruto's head through the center of the blonde's forehead.

The blonde dropped to his knees and held his head from the intake of information immediately afterwards.

The Uzumaki Clan

The first thing I would say is how easy it was to spot an Uzumaki. Most of the clan members having fiery red hair and purple eyes.

Sadly though the Uzumaki clan were mostly destroyed during the Second Great Shinobi War by a combination of forces from Kumo, Iwa, Mist, and a few minor villages. During that time a call for aid was sent to Konoha, but it was sadly unanswered as Konoha's response team was slaughtered from guerrilla-tactics and the main force didn't have the time to mobilize. However the warriors in Uzu managed to kill every single attacker in a last ditch effort that cost their lives in the process.

I speculate that Konoha would have lost the war if not for Uzu. I also believe that if Konoha could have made it to Uzu then the village and its people would have been saved. Uzu was not only a valuable ally, but the Uzumaki who ran the village was distantly related to both the Senju and the Uchiha clan, that were stated to have been born from the Sage of Six Paths. Many believe this to be myth, but if not does that mean the Uzumaki are also true descendants from the Sage? If so I believe it would explain why the Uzumaki helped not only the Senju, but also the Uchiha by funding the village, providing materials for their weapons, and hiring building crews to build the compounds when Konoha was founded.

Due to this I believe the Uzumaki may have had a "backdoor" into the compounds as Mito Uzumaki, who married the Shodaime Hokage, never walked in through any marked entrances. In my opinion, the secret entrance into the Uzumaki compound is located behind the Hokage Monument. It is hidden by seals and only an Uzumaki should know where to go without help.

The reason for this would be the Uzumaki's unnaturally high affinity for seals. Fuinjutsu is a complex art and other than a few people they were the only true masters. They also mastered Kenjutsu to an unnatural degree. I remember once fighting a blind Uzumaki. He only had his sword and was able to fight me to a draw at full strength while he was low on chakra. I remember that his name was Hayato and he became the Uzukage. The last one, it was by his actions the Uzumaki held out as long as they did, and he took the lives of thousands that day, or at least that is what I have been told by merchants who the Uzumaki made sure escaped.

The Uzumaki Kenjutsu style is a fearsome art. Their style seems to revolve around "feeling" where their opponents were instead of using their eyes. Although I am unsure what that means. It has been said that some of the masters removed their own eyes so I have always wondered if that was the case with Hayato. The man had said something that makes me think so. "I would lose my eyes time and time again for what I gained." That is the last statement I heard from a ninja of Uzu and it was after I offered to take him to my teammate so he could regain his sight via transplant. Since then I have wondered what his beliefs truly were.

Still, even with their village destroyed, I believe that the Uzumaki clan will live on in Kushina. She came to Konoha at the request of Mito a week before her clan was attacked. That young girl carries the hopes of her clan on her shoulders and I believe that someday, someone else will be writing a new segment on the Uzumaki Clan.

As the information became clearer, Naruto remembered something else. He had been invited to Sakura's as Kiba said that it would give Sasuke a reason to show up. The Uchiha of course didn't, but the kids had seen something.

It was a picture of the Yondaime and standing next to him was a red haired woman, at least that is what Shino had told Naruto. When the question of who they were was asked the answer was obvious for the blonde man, but the woman was called. "A hussy named Kushina who was trying to steal the Yondaime."

Naruto had ignored that memory until now. 'Red hair, purple eyes, Uzumaki Kushina. She is the only other Uzumaki I have heard of, but I have blonde hair and blue eyes. If she was trying to get into a relationship with the Yondai- He… and she… No wonder the Old man is keeping this shushed. I mean if people knew. I can't even be mad at him for hiding it from me, one slip of the tongue and I would have had assassins from outside the village as well as the villagers who hate me for the Kyuubi.'

Naruto instantly rushed out of the library through the way he came, went home and dispelled his clone, and ran to the Hokage's office. When he got in there he acted fine until after he had his picture taken and ninja identification made. Afterwards the cameraman left and the blonde looked towards the village leader. "I know who my parents are."

After saying that the blonde left the office and decided to go look for the Uzumaki Compound. It took about three hours, but the blonde found it. The compound was one big building and it was surrounded by a maze of trees, although Naruto wouldn't know all the details for a while. Naruto was almost afraid he would get lost, but eventually he got an idea. He used a spell he knew to find the way to the compound.

The Hokage showed up at that moment. "Naruto, I want to-"

He was cut off though. "No I understand, you couldn't tell me without risking someone overhearing. Even in your office or home there could be a listening device hidden, being the Hokage isn't easy. Still we are safe now and I would like to talk. That is if you have the time?"

The Sandaime nodded his head. "Of course, but how about I show you around the compound while we talk. I can point some things out to you that you would miss otherwise."

Naruto nodded and the tour began. The Hokage showed Naruto everything, but the library, as only a member of the Uzumaki could enter. Afterwards they talked a bit longer and the Hokage left.

(One Week Later Academy)

Naruto was sitting down waiting on teams to be made. He had learned a lot during the past week as he barely left his clan compound. He had started studying fuinjutsu and progressed at a speed unheard of even in the Uzumaki clan. He literally just absorbed the knowledge although he was unsure how he could make the seals, but he did have a few ideas. With ninjutsu, he learned of a way to get a better feel of his surroundings than his chakra cloud. The jutsu called for him to pulse his chakra in a wave and use it like a sonar. He combined it with his chakra cloud, and was at the point where he could "see" an outline of everything around him. Even with his clones running he never lost track of them.

As for kenjutsu, Naruto was learning slowly, but he had found a sword that made him happy. The best part was whom it had belonged to. Below the sword was a carving brought from Uzu that was burned into the wood so that when Naruto ran his fingers across it, it read-

The Uzumaki to draw this shall inherit my blade. The seals on it shall keep it sharp and in top condition, but you must deserve it. Only by breaking my seal shall you earn my sword. - Hayato

Naruto was extremely happy when he drew the sword from its sheath. Naruto decided to take the kenjutsu style slow though, and sealed it away with a spare storage scroll that was lying around. His taijutsu was still bad and Naruto was horrible in genjutsu, but the blonde was happy with his progress in a week.

After a few more seconds, Kiba sat down beside Naruto. "What's up, fox?"

Naruto looked towards him. "Nothing I guess, mutt." At this point Naruto truly smiled for the first time, in front of someone else, since he lost his eyes. "Have time for your flea bath this morning?"

The comment left Kiba wide eyed until Iruka came in, something that Naruto was able to "see" when using his combined sonar and chakra cloud. "Welcome graduates and congratulations." Iruka went off on a speech about being genin that most people ignored and then said what got everyone's attention. "The teams are as follows, Team One... Team Seven is Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Aburame Shino," Sasuke sighed and Sakura screams. "Team Eight will be Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata, and Uzumaki Naruto," Hinata faints and both Kiba and Naruto smirk knowing they dodged a bullet not getting put on Sasuke's team. "and Team Ten will be Nara Shikamaru, Akamichi Choji, and Yamanaka Ino." When Iruka finished Ino complained and everyone waited for what the chunin would say next. "Your jonin-sensei will be here after lunch until then you are dismissed."

As people started leaving Naruto invited his team out for ramen. They agreed and soon enough the three were sitting at Ichiraku's having their orders taken.

"So Naruto," The blonde turned towards Kiba when the brunette said his name. "How is your arm?"

The blonde lifted his sleeve showing the wound was completely healed. "It is fine, as I said the wound wasn't actually that bad." Kiba couldn't argue as Naruto's arm didn't have a mark on it.

"Wh-wha-what happened, Na-Naruto-kun?" As Hinata stuttered out the question Naruto mentally punched himself for not coming up with an excuse, but the wound had healed so fast he thought he wouldn't need one.

Thankfully Kiba answered. "Naruto and I were training and the claws on my hand caught him wrong. I offered to let my sister heal him, but he declined."

Hinata nodded shyly and the food arrived. The team ate in peaceful silence before heading back to the academy. About ten minutes later the sensei came in one after another, taking their students with them as they left.

When Team Eight was called out, though, it was by two women. They followed them up to the roof where they were told to sit on the stairs. At this point the black haired, red eyed woman spoke up. "My name is Yuhi Kurenai and this is Mitarashi Anko. We are going to be your sensei and, as I am sure you are curious, the reason behind it is simple. I was recently promoted and Anko is the person I work best with so the Hokage wanted to make sure that you had proper instruction."

At this point the purple haired woman, Anko, started talking. "Okay brats, there is still two things we must discuss. The first will be introductions—name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams. Be more descriptive than you were at the start of the academy. So blind brat why don't you start."

Kiba and Hinata could both hear a growl from the blonde in between them. "My name is UZUMAKI Naruto, son of Uzumaki Kushina and the last true (1) descendant of the Uzumaki clan, the rulers of Uzu." This caused everyone around him to go wide eyed. "I like training, my true friends, and ramen. My dislikes are people who make fun of others for a disability, people who judge other people they don't know, and perverts who are openly perverted. My hobbies are training, gardening, and learning. Lastly, my dreams for the future is to make my clan proud and be more like my idols Uzumaki Hayato and the Yondaime Hokage."

When Naruto was finished, Kiba spoke up. "My name is Inuzuka Kiba, son of Inuzuka Tsume and appointed heir of the Inuzuka clan. I like training, my family, my partner Akamaru, and my friends. I dislike judgmental people and people who refer to the Inuzuka's partners as pets. My hobbies are training with Akamaru and playing with the pups at the Inuzuka compound. My dream for the future is to find a good mate and do a good job leading my clan."

Then it was Hinata turn. "My na-name is Hyuuga Hin-Hinata and I am cur-currently the heiress to my clan. I like" at this point Hinata glanced at Naruto, "m-my family and fri-friends. I dislike perverts and people who look down on others. My hobbies are flower pressing and tra-training. I want to become strong and get someone to notice me." At this point Hinata once again glanced to Naruto.

Anko moved forward. "Well then we are your sensei and we will introduce ourselves tomorrow if you pass our test. The test is kind of like the final of the genin exams so be prepared and meet us here at seven."

At this point, Anko grabbed Kurenai and the two disappeared. Naruto sighed and stood up. "Well guys, I guess I will see you here tomorrow." When his teammates nodded Naruto walked away. After a few minutes, though, Kiba ran up to him. "Hey, Hinata turned down my offer because her family wanted to see her, but I wanted to know if you wanted to come eat dinner at my house. It seems fair as you treated us to lunch."

Naruto hesitated but decided to agree. After all, they were teammates. It would be best to see how Kiba's family saw him. He knew Hana had no problem with him at least, and If Kiba's mom didn't like him then Kiba would know why.

When they got to the house, Kiba just dragged him in and yelled, "Kaa-san, nee-chan, we have a guest for dinner." A few minutes later, Hana and Tsume entered with three grey dogs. Afterwards, they smiled and introduced themselves and Hana introduced her partners Soramaru, Taromaru, and Toshimaru. Naruto let out a sigh when they did as he knew he was safe. "Anyway, mom, Naruto is on the same team-"

Naruto cut him off. "She knows, Kiba." That got a raised eyebrow from Kiba. "Generally important jonin, potential sensei and clan heads are present at team assignments. They influence how the Hokage builds the teams and I can guess why we were put together. That leads me to a question though. Does Hana-san know about-" Naruto stopped talking and touched his stomach. When Tsume nodded, Naruto smiled. "Well then thank you for not viewing me as the Kyuubi."

Hana instantly went to cover Kiba's ears when Naruto spoke, but the boy squirmed out of her grasp. "Don't worry nee-chan, I already know."

"Oh, how did you find out?" When she asked the question, Tsume told her the truth. "So that is what had happened to you arm."

Before Naruto could answer, a black dog with an eye-patch walked in and growled. This caused Naruto to become slightly nervous. "Tsume," It said, making Naruto fall backwards onto his butt, causing the dog to pause and shake his head. "We need to do something about my pup. He needs to find a partner and stop acting like a brat. It is getting rather annoying."

Tsume turned towards her partner. "I have been unable to find a partner for him, but it is a clan matter, and needn't be discussed at the moment. It is time for dinner and we have a guest."

The dog nodded and looked towards the kitchen. "I suppose the dinner was for Kiba's team, so where is the third member?"

Naruto, at this point, finally stood up. "Hinata said she had business with her family."

Kiba nodded and continued. "Yeah, she said something about her father wanting to talk to her about her team members. She wouldn't say anything else though."

After dinner Naruto talked with Kiba a bit before leaving. As he did, he stepped into an alleyway and pulled out a scroll. Instantly the blonde was gone. About five minutes later he appeared in the Uzumaki Compound. Putting the scroll away, the blonde smirked. 'A master key to a series of shunshin seals. The Uzumaki's backdoor to anywhere in the village. The ultimate escape route for the young children of the clan if the village was to be attacked. I could be in any section of the city, and every major compound within minutes.'

At this point, the blonde went to the room he had claimed and lay down to go to sleep. As he dosed off he tried to think of what type of test they would have tomorrow.

(Next Day Academy)

Naruto was sitting with Hinata, waiting for their sensei and Kiba. When Kiba showed up, though, he looked around for a moment. "Where is Anko and Kurenai-sensei?"

"They haven't made it here yet." As he said it Naruto picked up a slight scent of dango. "Or the test has already started, fuck. Kiba we need you to track their scent." The Inuzuka nodded and the three twelve year olds were off. Eventually, they arrived at training ground 14, only for Naruto to be kicked away from the group. When he stopped rolling he felt Anko's presence. "Well then what is going on here sensei?"

Anko smirked. "Well Nai-chan believes that teamwork won't come naturally in the scale for a big test, so instead we are testing your skills. The better you do the harder your training will be, but if you fail-" Naruto nodded and the battles began.

(Kurenai vs. Hinata and Kiba)

Kiba and Hinata were told the same thing as Naruto and they were looking nervous until Kiba spoke. "Well then, sensei, you better hope Naruto doesn't hurt Anko-sensei too bad." These words gave Hinata a slight confidence boost and the two young ninja got in position. Kiba started off by running forward and attacking head on. However, Kurenai simply avoided his attacks. After a few minutes Hinata jumped in as well, but the red-eyed woman simply danced around their blows.

After ten minutes of the game, Kurenai just faded leaving two panting genin standing in front of two destroyed logs. "Well you two pass and I must say that if the fight was real you may have nicked me." Hearing those words were a huge blow to Kiba's ego. "Now why don't we go see how your teammate is going?" When she got nods from her students Kurenai smiled until an explosion went off. 'Anko, what did you do?'

(Naruto vs. Anko)

Anko had just finished talking when a second after, Naruto attacked her from behind. She dodged the attack and stabbed the clone in the back, and watched as it dispersed into smoke. "Well then, it seems my attack didn't surprise you, luckily I have a lot more up my sleeve." Naruto took this moment to disappear. 'Okay I need a plan. She doesn't know I am in the same spot, but she may figure it out soon. My chakra is also too unstable for any big jutsu. I guess I have no choice, but to do that, but it will take a moment to set up if I don't want her to see me.'

When Naruto had everything in place he stopped feeding mana into his cloaking spell causing the spell to fade and making him reappear. In that moment the blonde's clones did the same thing and Anko smirked at the fact that she was surrounded. That was until half of the Naruto's hands lit on fire, and the air distorted around the rest. Dual cries of "Ignis percusserit (fire strike) and ventus ensis (wind blade)" could be heard as a large amount of fire and wind rushed towards her. Anko dodged, but the attack caused an explosion.

"Almost got me, gaki. Better luck next time though." As Anko said this, Naruto pointed down. Confused, the woman looked down only to see a paralysis seal carved into the ground. "A little chakra and you would have had me, so why didn't you finish it."

"I couldn't of." The blonde's statement got a questioning look. "If I had used chakra you would have sensed it and made sure to avoid the seal."

Anko smiled and ruffled the blonde's hair. "Well, still a good job gaki. Let's go see how the mutt and Hyuuga are doing."

A/N 1) Naruto said this because he is the only Uzumaki that stills bear the name. The rest have shed their names in order to go into hiding. While Naruto understands he doesn't agree.
