Another Chapter! I have been updating this story when I can. As a high school student getting ready for college and playing drums in the percussion, I don't have much time to write.

Please comment on the new chapter and tell me what you think.

*I don't own Naruto or any of its Characters*

Chapter 3:

Most of the students thought that Naruto failed yet again and that he would walk out without a headband any minute. Sasuke stayed around to wait for the dobe so he could rub his hitai-ate in the blond's face and Sakura and Ino stayed because Sasuke did. There were several who thought that Naruto would pass this time but most were ready to insult him if he came out after another exam without becoming a genin.

Naruto ran out of the testing room with a big smile on his face and many people realized what that meant. Naruto held up the new Hitai-ate with pride and gave the class a foxy smile before going back to his seat. As he walked he noticed that some looked with surprise or shock. The class clown, the loser, the dead last, the dobe actually passed the genin exam! They all knew that he couldn't make a clone a week ago so what changed? Sasuke was prepared to find out.

Naruto was so happy! He finally became a ninja! Now Sakura-chan would definitely go out with him. He had been trying to get her attention for years and now that he passed he could show her he's not a loser. He would ask after school because she was still next to the teme and he didn't want the bastard to ruin his good mood and get in a fight... not yet at least. When Naruto got back to his seat next to the lazy Nara, it seemed he was not asleep and looked at Naruto, more specifically the new headband that he held. "So you finally passed huh? I wondered when you would do it, but I kinda want to know how you did the bunshin. You never do it right and you can't pass without doing it. What changed?" Naruto got alittle nervous and didn't know how to respond to Shikamaru's suspicions. "Well um...you see...uhh..."

Naruto wanted to tell him. Heck he wanted to tell everyone, but he knew that he shouldn't because jiji gave him the scroll and people would say he cheated or that the Hokage favored him.

"Oi! Dobe, how did you pass?" There was the voice of the precious Uchiha Sasuke. Of course Sasuke would try to get into his business. He had been rivals with him for years so the emo would want to know how he got through the test. Naruto turned around to see Sasuke standing there with a scowl on his face and flanked by Ino and Sakura on each side.

"Go away teme! I'm not telling you." Naruto got up from his seat to stand up to Sasuke but was hit in the head by Sakura's fist.

"Naruto-baka! Don't call Sasuke-kun names and tell him how you passed!" Her voice got alot of people's attention because of the high pitched tone, and it caused many to cover their ears and for Shikamaru to do the same while muttering about troublesome women.

"But Sakura-chan I can't tell you." Naruto strained but Sasuke and his fangirls didn't like that answer. "Oh and why can't you tell us Naruto-baka?! Did you cheat to get you hitai-ate?"

"Of course not! I earned this fair and square!" Sasuke and the girls were not convinced judging by the way they looked. Luckily Naruto confrontation with the duck butt squad was cut short when Iruka came out from the testing room.

"Alright everyone! Settle down!" Iruka was ready to use his big head jutsu again but it seemed that they listened this time and got in their seats, although a few like Sasuke didn't seem to happy about it. " I would like to make an announcement. First off, Congratulations! All of those who have passed the genin exam are on their way to becoming great ninjas for Konohagakure. I wish all of you the best luck. Make sure to come to class tomorrow so you can be assigned your jounin senseis. For those of you who did not pass, I know you can do better next time and I wish you all the best of luck in the upcoming year. Results will be posted for class rating on the board tomorrow morning. Now have a great day and I will see you tomorrow!" And with that Iruka finished and many students went home happy that they passed, but there were a few who did not but had determination to pass the next exam.

Naruto hopped out of his chair and made a run for it before the teme could find him. He had to show jiji that he passed! He worked hard and now he finally made it! He was a ninja of Konoha and now he could start gaining the respect of the villagers and become Hokage! Naruto ran through the streets in a mad dash to see jiji and passed through several districts full of people that didn't like him. While most didn't noticed and sneered as he passed by, some saw that he wore a ninja headband and realized that the demon was now a ninja. That meant he was under the full protection of the Hokage and ninja forces and was no longer under civilian rule. Now he could defend himself if they tried anything and that made a few people wary of trying anything on the blond jinchuuriki.

Naruto made it to the Hokage tower and ran through the door despite the assistant yelling at him not to. He opened the door to see jiji sitting beside a stack of paperwork and the jostling of him coming in toppled it all over, burying the Hokage in a giant pile of paperwork. He laughed at the old man as he got out from the piles of paperwork. "Naruto-kun, while you may not have the best entrance, I'm happy to see you." The Hokage said as he got the last of the paperwork off his robes. "I Passed Jiji! I got a head band! Now I'm finally a ninja!" Naruto's excitement was infectious as the Sandaime smiled and walked up to Naruto to ruffle his spike blond hair.

"I'm very proud of you Naruto-kun. It looks like your studying paid off. You are now under the command of the Hokage and you have certain privileges now but also some changes. Now that you are considered an adult, you stop receiving an orphan stipend and any attack you make on civilians outside self defense are considered more serious now. But you also can make money through missions and receive income, you are now an adult so you can drink smoke and do anything an adult can do but I don't want you to do any of those things until you're older. Do you understand so far?" Naruto nodded so the Hokage continued.

"You are under my command so civilians and their council have no say in your life and you will be getting a team sensei tomorrow with two other students. I will also need you to return that scroll when you have the chance so it is in better protection." the Hokage smiled and gave the blond a pat on the head. "With all that said, I'm very proud of you. I'm sure that you are hungry so lets go get some ramen to celebrate."

He didn't need to tell Naruto twice as the boy ran out of the paper covered office thinking of his favorite meal. The Hokage slowly shook his head and followed with a smile, not just because Naruto passing, but that he now had an excuse to get away from the paperwork for an hour.

(line break)

Naruto returned to his apartment full a full stomach and a smile across his face. This was the best day ever! He passed the genin test, got his headband and celebrated with jiji while eating ramen! Jiji finished with him then said he had a meeting with some council members about the new genins so he had to leave. But before they parted ways jiji gave him a gift card to a ninja outfit store only ninja were allow to go to! He was so happy he felt like he could scream it from the top of the Hokage Mountain. He reached his door and noticed there was a note stuck to it with a kunai. He would normally think that it was probably the landlord trying to get him to pay early for no reason but the kunai meant it was probably a ninja. He grabbed the note from his door and began reading it.

'Dear Naruto,

I need to see you at training ground 76. I have a mission for you and I know only you can do it. Please head over at 6:00 pm.

Unimo Iruka'

Naruto was confused. Naruto noticed the writing seemed strange because Iruka usually writes neater than this. Maybe he was in a hurry about this so called mission. What mission was Iruka-sensei talking about? And why didn't he tell him after he finished his test? Did he leave too fast? Naruto was confused and looked at the clock to see that it was 5:27, so he decided to head to the training ground early and see what was going on.

Naruto got to the training ground twenty minutes early and decided to look around for a few to see what was going on. After a couple minutes of looking around, he heard shouting and the clashing of metal. He immediately ran to where it was coming from. Was this the mission Iruka was talking about?

Naruto jumped through the surrounding trees of the training ground and came upon a kunai. He went to pick it up and noticed the smell of iron. Blood. And it was fresh. Naruto freaked out. What was going on!? His thoughts were cut off when he heard more clashing and instead of running away, he pressed forward to an open area in the trees. When he got there there were two people fighting each other, one wielding a giant shuriken. Then he got a look at there faces and saw that it was his teachers. Mizuki and Iruka were fighting!? But why!? While he trusted Iruka more, he didn't know why they were fighting and got closer so he could listen to what was going on.

"How could you steal the scroll of sealing Mizuki! You would betray Konoha, Your home! For what, power?"

"You wouldn't understand Iruka. You're just the goody two shoes chunin who follows all his orders like a dog! You even let the demon pass the genin exam!"

"You leave Naruto out of this! He is not a demon, and is innocent." Mizuki then cackled maniacally and gave Iruka a sinister smile.

"Oh, the brat won't be innocent for long." Iruka wonder if Mizuki actually did something or if he was trying to throw him off his concentration.

"What did you do Mizuki?" The white haired chunin's smile widened.

"I put a note on the brat's door with your handwriting. He'll be showing up later, only to find himself surrounded by ANBU and you dead on the ground. He'll be charged with your death and I get away. I kill two birds with one stone! He will be useful for something and I will get my revenge. Then I can escape Konoha and follow my true master!" With that, Mizuki charged at Iruka again with the intent to finish it but the scarred chunin defended himself from the attacks. As the battle progressed though, Iruka slowly lost ground and was losing steam.

Naruto heard the whole thing. He was being used by Mizuki, who apparently stole a scroll of some sort and planned to pin Iruka's death on him! Naruto was outraged at the deceit but also couldn't help but wonder why Mizuki hated him so much. He pushed that thought away and saw that Iruka was losing and if he didn't do anything, Iruka could get hurt! Or worse, die! Naruto knew he needed to do something so he put his best foot forward and stepped out from his hiding spot in the trees.

"Oi!" Both chunins stopped fighting and looked at the now exposed blond, one looking with worry, the other with anger.

"I heard the whole thing! If you think you can use me to win, then you got another thing coming Mizuki-teme!" Naruto was about to go through some handsigns but Mizuki jumped back from Iruka and faced Naruto with a sinister smile on his face.

"So you'll beat me huh brat? I find that hilarious! But before you start, I have to ask... do you know why everyone hates you and why everyone sneers at you or treats you like you're nothing?" Naruto froze and his hands went down to his sides as he looked at Mizuki with shock. He knew why? Why everyone treated him like a monster. He wanted to tell Mizuki-teme to shut up... but at the same time wanted to hear it.

"No Mizuki! It's forbidden!" Iruka warned but was ignored.

"The reason everyone hates you is because you're a monster! The Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi inside you! You killed thousands of people the night it attacked! You're the Kyuubi no Yoko and you're a freak that destroys everything! Now I'll rid the world of you and be seen as a hero, even as a traitor!" Mizuki grabbed his giant shuriken and threw it at the blond boy who was in shock from the information and hasn't moved a single inch. His eyes went blank and he seemed to be stuck in thought about Mizuki's words.

Was he really the Kyuubi? Was he a monster that killed people and hurt so many others? He didn't want to believe it but the way everyone treated him, it was hard not to. He was knocked out of his thoughts when he realized that someone was standing over him. Still half dazed, Naruto looked up to see the face of Iruka, who protected him from the giant shuriken thrown by Mizuki as it was now lodged in his back. Naruto then realized what was going on and looked up to his sensei in shock. "Naruto... I never saw you as a monster...You're not the Kyuubi no Yoko." Iruka smiled at the blond." I lost my parents because of the Kyuubi but I never blamed you for it. You are Naruto Uzumaki and you are a genin of the leaf village. You are not a freak!" With that Naruto fully recovered from his shock and quickly felt several emotions.

Anger at Mizuki for hurting Iruka.

Worry that Iruka could die.

Happiness for what Iruka said to him.

And determination in finishing the fight with the traitor.

Naruto jumped over Iruka who turned around to look at him with shock. "Just relax Iruka-sensei. I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I promise that you will get out of here alive! I'll make sure Mizuki get's what's coming to him!" Naruto then turned his attention to the white haired chunin that looked at him with anger.

"You expect me to believe you can beat me? You're the dead last loser that should have never passed. Just because you can make a few water clones doesn't mean anything!"

"Oh yeah, then how about this!" Naruto went through hand signs and pumped a large amount of chakra into his technique and screamed "Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Mizuki and Iruka were suddenly surrounded by hundreds of clones that all looked like Naruto. The clones all had foxy smirks on their faces and looked ready to beat the crap out of a certain chunin. Said chunin could only gulp and be prepared for what happened next...

(line break)

Mizuki laid on the floor beaten black and blue when the ANBU appeared and collected the sealing scroll from behind a tree it was placed at, then escorted Naruto and Iruka to the Hokage, but not before getting a medic nin to look at the young scarred chunin's injuries. Now standing before the Hokage, Iruka gave his side of what happened and then Naruto did the same. The Hokage seemed quite surprised that Naruto was able to summon so many water clones but hid his emotions and let the two finish their stories. The blond had some questions of his own and decided to voice them.

"Mizuki said I'm the Kyuubi no Yoko because the fourth sealed it inside me... is that true?" The Hokage looked at the young blond with surprise and sadness. He did not want to reveal Naruto's burden until he was chunin but the boy heard it early and he supposed hiding the truth would only hurt Naruto more.

"Naruto-kun... yes the Kyuubi was sealed into you. But do not think that makes you the beast itself. You are the holder, the jailer of it. You are a jinchuuriki." The Hokage saw that Naruto still did not look convinced so he thought that he could explain it in a way that Naruto would understand.

"Naruto-kun, lets say you you are a bowl and the Kyuubi is the ramen. Would that bowl turn into ramen because it holds it?"

"Of course not jiji! It's still just a bowl!" Naruto smiled and finally understood what jiji meant. He may not like that he held a dangerous creature, but he was not the Kyuubi, only a holder for it. A container.

"I'm glad you understand Naruto." Naruto thought about a few hings and realized he had one more question. "Why me?... Why did the Fourth choose me?"

"Naruto-kun, the Yondaime knew that nobody would let him use their child for it and since you were a newborn orphan, he decided you were the best option in saving the village. He wanted you to be seen as a hero for the burden you carry, but sadly many people do not see that. The Yondaime chose you because he believed you could save the leaf village. Do you understand, Naruto-kun?" The Hokage said with respect towards his deceased successor.

Naruto looked at jiji with wide eyes then turned his head to look out the Hokage's office window to see the Hokage Monument, more specifically the Yondaime Hokage. Naruto smiled and turned back to his jiji and smiled then nodded. The aged Hokage smiled.

"Thank you for understanding what happened Naruto. I'll be reporting your defeat of Mizuki and you will recieve a B rank pay because of it. Now you should head to bed. I believe that teams are chosen tomorrow and you don't want to be late." With that Naruto smiled at the prospect of getting some money and smiled.

"Thank's jiji. I'll see you later! Bye Iruka-sensei! See you tomorrow morning. Hope your arm and back heals up." Naruto ran out of the room and headed home, prepared for tomorrow to meet his new team.

"Iruka, please tell me, is it true Naruto summoned hundreds of Mizu Bunshin at once?" Iruka nodded. "Hai, Hokage-sama. He summoned hundreds and the proceeded to beat Mizuki into submission until the ANBU arrived."

"Thank you Iruka. You may head home, but I recommend you check your injuries with a hospital medic." The chunin nodded and shunshined out of the room.

The Hokage leanded back into his chair, thinking about the abilities the whiskered blond had. Naruto could summon hundreds of water clones no problem without a water source nearby. While most could summon a few without a water source, to summon hundreds meant you needed supreme control over water! Naruto not only had a large amount of chakra and endurance, but also had water control that rivaled the Nidaime!

'You are definitely unpredictable, Naruto-kun. You will be an amazing ninja in the future.' The Hokage thought before turning in for he night.

Omake:

Naruto ran into the Hokage's office and opened the door to see the old man buried in a pile of strange books. He got closer and noticed that books had scantily drawn women on them and were titled 'Icha Icha Paradise'. He noticed that his jiji was out cold and opened one of the books to see what it was about.

After reading for a few minutes, he had a massive blush on his face and set the book down. He was about to try to wake jiji up until a brilliant prank began forming in his mind. Naruto smirked and prepared to summon some clones to help for what was going to happen next.

Hokage woke up with a terrible headache. He dreamt that the seal that held all his Icha Icha overloaded and they all came out and knocked him out from the sheer weight. He sighed in relief when he realized that he was not under a pile of porn books.

He sat back in his desk but noticed something in the corner of his eye outside the window and looked towards Hokage Monument. He saw papers floating down from the mountain. One coasted through his window and landed on his desk. He read what was on it and his eyes widened with fear.

He checked his Icha seal and found that it was empty. The gravity of what was going on was now settling on his shoulders.

Hundreds of thousands of pages from the Icha Icha books flew down from the Hokage mountain into the village. Many wondered what was going on...until they read the papers and freaked out. Some ran and tried to protect their children's innocence, others ran around trying to grab as many of the forbidden papers as possible. Some cried in horror and others in joy. The entire village was in pandemonium about the porn flying from the sky.

A silver haired jounin looked up from his own book to see the rain of porn. After reading what was falling, he instantly started crying and went on about his dream coming true.

Sasuke was in his home when the papers came down and he wondered what they could possibly be. After reading a few pages, Sasuke had blood dripping down his nose and a perverted smile on his face. Lets just say... Sasuke had a new addiction.

Hinata saw the papers and picked one up, only to fall unconscious from a bloody nose the next second after reading the first sentence.

Two green spandex wearers were training in the fields alongside a pale eyed Hyuuga and a bun haired girl. They were stopped from their spars when they saw a paper fall on the ground nearby. Lee picked it up and looked at the strange position the two were drawn characters were in. It was called 'the missionary' and Lee knew what it was instantly. It was a holding position for combat!

"Gai-sensei, I have found a new position that can be used holding down your enemy. Shall I demonstrate it with you!?"

"Of course Lee! Anything you would like to show me is much appreciated! Now show me what this 'position' is."

The image of Gai and Lee in a sex position would be stuck in Neji's and Tenten's minds forever.

((End Chapter 3))
