After the battle, everyone helped in getting the village back on its feet. The med-nins took care of the wounded, and the other nins helped with clean up and the civilian families. No one had seen Naruto since his disappearance into the woods, and many were worried he was planning something, while others were hoping he was dead.

Many were helping, but not Sasuke, he thought himself too high to help. He was currently at his mansion beating the crap out a practice dummy (which had Naruto's face on it). Left kick, right kick, left punch, right punch, jump kick, and then he stopped, breathing heavily. He had been at it for hours, his only way to work out his frustration.

'How could that dope be so strong, and where did he learn to summon. Hell, what in the hell is he, those claws, fangs, he even had whiskers! What in the hell is he? He isn't who we thought he was, that's for sure, but how can he be so much stronger than me, a genius.' he thought for a minute, catching he breath. 'I'll ask Iruka-sensei, and if he doesn't have the answers, I'll go to the Hokage' and with that he went inside to change, and then headed out to find Iruka-sensei.

Sakura was helping her parents in restoring their shop. She would be trying to find Sasuke, but she was needed here. While she was working she was thinking about the day before. 'What was all that about? Where did he get all that power? I thought he was such a dope, but what happened? And what in the hell is he? He obviously isn't human... Maybe Iruka-sensei will know. Yeah, I'll go ask him later.' and with that she focused her attention back onto her tasks.

Shikamaru was, amazingly, helping with the repairs. Having no chose in the matter, he was forced to help his parents. While doing so he was thinking about the events from the day before. 'Those techniques, those justus, even the attacks, I've haven't heard of any of them. And that transformation, then the summoning, no human could do those. He can't be human. Maybe Iruka-sensei knows what he is. Mmm. Yeah I'll go ask him later, it isn't too troublesome.' and so he went back to work, and soon after went to find Iruka-sensei.

'Damn that Naruto. I was so close to surpassing him, and then this happens...Well I know he isn't human. I'll ask Iruka-sensei if he knows where Naruto got all that power.' thought Kiba as he was helping his family with the house repairs.

Hinata was currently at her family's man chin, watching the branch family members exercise and practice. Their house wasn't touched, and they weren't required to help. She was brooding on what happened yesterday. 'Naruto-kun is so strong. I'm not at his level, I'm so weak. I wonder how he got so strong though. Did he get extra training from Iruka-sensei? Mmm, I wonder...I-I think I want to be strong like him and protect the ones I care about, like Naruto-kun. Yeah. But first I need to find out how he got so strong. Mmmm. Guess the best person to ask would be Iruka-sensei. Right, I'll go and ask Iruka-sensei.' (she doesn't stutter in her mind, only out loud, Kay)

"YOSH! NARUTO-KUN IS SO STRONG! HE BURNS WITH THE PASSION OF YOUTH! HE MUST TRAIN ALL THE TIME, DAY AND NIGHT. YOSH, I MUST BURN WITH THE PASSION LIKE NARUTO-KUN. I MUST GO SPEAK TO IRUKI-SENSEI." Rock Lee thought to himself as he ran back and forth everywhere to help rebuild what had fallen during the attack, with a glint in his eyes for knowledge of Naruto.

"My bugs tell me he smells like demon, animal, and human. His aura also tells the same. How is this possible though, one can not simply be human, demon, and animal, it is impossible. It is a feat unheard of in any history. I will speak with Iruka-sensei and learn what I can of you, Naruto." Shino thought as he gathered his bugs from nearby, so that he may continue helping around the city. Lifting up his arms, bugs flew in, making a home in the holes covering his body. Once done he leaped of the branch of the tree he was on to find Iruka-sensei.

The rest of Naruto's classmates and the other students of other classes, upper and lower, were thinking the same, wondering where Naruto got his power, or what exactly he was. So they decided to ask Iruka-sensei.

The Hokage was currently in his office, going through reports and complaints from the nins, civilians, and many members of the council, as usual. After the battle he ordered the med-nins to help the wounded, the academy students to return to the academy, and all the others nins to help clean up. It was the day after the battle, and he was now receiving reports, complaints, and jobs other villages were asking them to do, but they were too busy, and he was getting a headache.

But he had to thank Naruto, if it wasn't for him, none of them might be alive. He sighed and looked out the window. A lot of the adults were demanding the death of the so called 'demon' who had in fact saved all their lives, and despite that they still wanted his death. He sighed again, painfully. He had to do something, but what? He knew Naruto could take care of himself, but he didn't want him staying here having to deal with the villagers sneering at him and threatening his life daily.

He thought long and hard, but finally came up with something. He would make him an ANBU and no one would know it was him. He could stay here, protect the village as he desired, surprisingly, and no one would know about it. The Hokage smiled in triumph. He'd send a jounin out in search of him, so he could tell him.

"Kuyai," he called to one of his guards outside. In walked a woman in her early twenties with a Hidden leaf headband on her forehead, and wearing jounin gear. She had long blond hair pulled into a ponytail and had green eyes. Her face was flawless, and she had a muscular build from years of training.

"Yes Hokage-sama," she answered respectfully with a bow.

"Tell Kakashi to find Naruto and to bring him here. Also, tell all those who know what Naruto is, to tell no one else, with corrdance with the laws i placed. Do you understand?" he asked to be sure that Kuyai knew.

"Yes Hokage-sama," she answered again respectfully, bowed, and left the room.

She found Kakashi at Naruto's apartment, checking it out, and reading one of his 'educational' books.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here" she asked curiously.

"Wanted to see how Naruto lived. It looks like he's barely here. Hardly any food, beds made up, few clothes, hardly any furniture, and dust covering everything. It's like he doesn't live here at all." Kakashi said thoughtfully, smearing a finger across the kitchen table, and lifting the dust from that spot.

"Well, you'll get your chance to ask, Hokage-sama wants you to find him and bring him" she said seriously, pointing out the front door.

"Ah, very well, then I'll be on my way." he said, about to poof away.

"WAIT, Hokage-sama also said to tell no one what Naruto is, and clear." she said quickly.

"Wouldn't tell a soul." with that said, he poofed away. Kuyai sighed, looked around, agreeing with Kakashi, and then also disappeared to tell the other nins.

Sasuke soon found Iruka-sensei helping a family with their shop.

"Iruka-sensei, can I speak with you." Iruka looked over to who had spoken and found his second best student. Naruto was his first, and although he despised Naruto at first, he often saw the boy with a lonely or painful look, though the boy seemed to not noticed, and the hate and anger went away and he felt a connection with him.

"Yeah, just give me a moment." Sasuke nodded in recognition and waited as Iruka finished nailing a board down. While waiting Sakura followed by Shikimara, Chojo, Kiba, and the others in the academy, including those above them came and asked to speak to Iruka. When done he came and stood before them.

"Well, how can I help you?" asked Iruka, already knowing what they were going to ask.

"I don't know about the rest of them, but I want to know what Naruto is, because he isn't human." Sasuke asked and the others nodded, anxious.

Kuyai talked to many of the villagers and nins, so many she had a headache from all of the complaints. She was walking around, telling all the adults, when she saw a crowd of kids talking to Iruka. Panicking she ran over to them.

"Iruka-san, can I speak to you for a moment?" she asked quickly.

"Sure. I'll be right back kids." he walked over to her and waited patiently.

"I was told to tell all those who knew what Naruto is to tell no one else and it looked like that's what that was about." she said nervously, barely keeping herself from wringing her hands in nervousness.

"Yeah, it was, but I wasn't planning on telling them. He had enough people hating him, and since they don't know the real him, they wouldn't except him, and would hate him. You don't have to worry, I don't plan on telling anyone that doesn't know, since it's the law and everything," Iruka said, smiling painfully.

"Good, tell anyone else who knows what he is to not tell someone else who doesn't. Hokage's orders." she said with authority, saluting.

"Very well." with that he went back to the children, and she went back to telling the adults the Hokage's orders.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not quite sure myself. I'm afraid I can't help you." Iruka said staring at them seriously. After a few moments, and the children left, he went back to work.

Kakashi was in the forest, just outside the village, searching for any sign of Naruto. He had no luck, so he made some handseals, bit his thumb, and summoned Pakkon, one of his summon dogs.

"What do you want Kakashi?" the dog asked, irritated.

"I need help finding someone. Here, this should have his scent." he said and held out a piece of cloth from Naruto's apartment.

"Very well, but you owe me fifty six favors now." Pakkon said.

"Yes, yes." Iruka said while Pakkon sniffed the cloth, then sniffing around the area to find a lead.

"Ah, I smell a trial going this way." Pakkon said and headed deeper into the forest.

They traveled for a while, and soon stopped for a break. Iruka pulled out some food to have for a snack and shared with his summon. They ate silently for a while and when done, began again.

"So, who exactly is this person we're looking for, Kakashi?" asked Pakkon as they set off again.

"His name is Naruto, a citizen of the Hidden Village of Leafs. He saved the village yesterday from a demon and disappeared. Hokage-sama wishes to speak with him about something, and I was sent to find him and bring him to Hokage-sama." Kakashi answered, jumping from tree branch to tree branch behind Pakkon.

"Oh. Was wondering why you called me. Well, I want to get this over with, so let's speed things up a bit" Said Pakkon and he went slightly faster, Kakashi keeping up with him. Pakkon soon slowed down, and Kakashi was about ask why when Pakkon jumped onto his head.

"He's over in the next clearing, Kakashi." said Pakkon pointing to a clearing just ahead, and Kakashi proceeded to walk into the clearing. What he saw caused him to gape openly.

Good? Bad? please let me know. and to let you know, more surprises are on their way.
