Chapter 3: Graduation And Truth Revealed

A few months have passed since Hinata had discovered that Naruto now knew the "Flying Raijin Jutsu". At first she didn't know what to do about it, because it wasn't like Naruto to be quiet about something, especially if he knew it would make him an amazing shinobi. But she then figured that Naruto probably had his reasons so she kept the knowledge of Naruto's jutsu to herself, like Naruto kept it to himself.

Hinata was still very curious as to how Naruto even got his hands on the "Flying Raijin Jutsu", according to Iruka the jutsu was never found after the death of the Fourth Hokage. At first people believed it was hidden within his home, but despite it being searched from head to toe (yea right lol) it was never found. Since it was never found the Third Hokage presumed that the Fourth knew where it was hidden and believed it was safe from falling into the wrong hands. Anyway Hinata resolve to talk to Naruto and find out how he found the jutsu and why he is keeping it such a secret. Her curiosity just wouldn't rest until why Naruto is keeping such a secret.


The following morning Hinata was woken by one of the branch house members of the Hyuga clan. The hyuga clan was divided into two. The branch house who would serve and protect the main house. And the main house who were ultimately in charge of the branch. Of course only the head of the clan, Hinata's father Hiashi, ruled over everyone in the clan and would have final say. Personally Hinata strongly disliked having a divided family like this for it only brought unrest between the two houses, as she saw it. Because of her gentle nature even her own father viewed her as weak.

After getting dressed for the days events consisting of training with her father and studying her clans laws. Afterward Hinata would have the rest of the day to herself since it was now Saturday. Hinata figured that today was as good as any day to find Naruto and as him about his secret jutsu.

After getting dressed Hinata went down stairs towards the clan's dojo wearing dark brown pants and a shirt of the same color with a mesh shirt underneath. On her way she saw her sister Hanabi. Hanabi wore the same outfit as Hinata wears now. She also has long brown hair down to her waist. (Unlike Hinata's short dark blue hair with bangs framing her face)

"Good morning sister" Hinata said passing her sister in the hallway.

"Morning." Hanabi replied, but in a monotone kind of voice.

Hinata inwardly *sigh*ed. Although they were sisters they weren't very close. In fact some of the main house believed Hanabi should be the heiress, due to them seeing Hinata's gentle nature and lack of talent in the Gentle Fist style their clan uses. Which happened to be the exact opposite of Hanabi. Hanabi was more like their father, sometimes cold and talented in the gentle fist, much more talented than Hinata in their opinions.

Hinata walked into the dojo and walked to the middle where she met and greeted her father with a bow. "Good morning father, I..I'm ready for today's training." Hinata said, with just a small stutter.

"Morning, lets begin" Her father Hiashi said. And with that the training session had begun.

It had been about 2 hours since the training began, and Hiashi had been getting more and more frustated with Hinata. He had noticed that she had been distracted for a few months now, and as a result it seemed her progress she usually made was going backwards instead. Before He got even more frustrated he ended the training.

"That's enough for today" Said Hiashi, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

*pant* "Y..*pant* yes f..father" Said Hinata, seeing the disappointment in her father's eyes. She bowed and began to leave the dojo, but before she got to far she was stopped by her father's sudden question.

"Hinata, I've noticed that you have been distracted the past few months and as a result your progress has slowed.. Why is that?" Hiashi asked.

Hinata was shocked. She also noticed that she was distracted these past few months, but not her progress slowing down. She was distracted about Naruto and his secret jutsu, but she promised herself she wouldn't tell anyone until she found out why it was a secret. So Hinata braced herself, because she knew she would be lying to her own father.

"I..It's bec...because I..I"m not q..quite used t..to th..the changesmybodyisgoingthroughrightnow!" Hinata said in a hurry embarrassed about what she had for an excuse. She just hoped it was good enough to fool her father.

"Hmm... I see. See too it you get used to it so you can return and hopefully surpass your previous progress rate in order to make up for the past few months. Dismissed." Hiashi replied, not really ever paying attention to her daughter's physical developments due to the whole puberty thing, and not really wanting to talk about such a thing.

"Y..yes f..father" Hinata replied glad and embarrassed the her father believed her little fib.


Once Hinata had bathed and eaten she began her search for Naruto. Her current determination to find out why Naruto was keeping one of the most powerful jutsu in the world a secret from everyone, made her previous determination seem like it was a sleeping puppy.

She searched for Naruto at Ichiraku's Ramen, the training field by the academy (since the other training fields were meant only for official ninja), and even at home. Knowing that the only other place he could be is atop the cliff side above the Fourth Hokage's head on the Hokage Monument.

When she reached the top, sure enough there he was. Hinata knew that the only time Naruto came up here was when he was upset. She went closer in order to talk to him, but the closer she got the more she lost her nerve. Not because her determination was wavering but because she didn't think it was a good idea to find out while he was upset.

Once she was within 15 ft, she decided to try another time when he wasn't upset. Unfortunately that wasn't going to happen, because when she started to back away to turn around she knocked her heel against a rock that was sticking up out of the ground. As a result she fell and landed on her rear, she had hoped that Naruto didn't hear her fall, so she could leave him be, but it seemed that today was just not on her side.

Naruto had heard something fall so when he turned he was surprised to see Hinata there sitting and staring at him in shock. "Hey Hinata, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.

"U..umm, I..I just wanted t..to ask y..you s..some..something, but you s..seemed u..upset so i..it doesn't ." Hinata replied, hoping Naruto would leave it at that.

"Oh" Naruto said looking at the ground with the sad expression he previously had on before Hinata showed up.

"I..I'll b..be g..going now." Hinata said as she stood up preparing to leave.

"Wait a second Hinata, I mean if you want I..I could use some company. I mean you don't have to though." Naruto said wanting to find out what she wanted to ask him in the first place.

"Um o..ok N..Nar..Naru..to." Hinata replied shocked that he would want that from her.

Naruto returned to facing the village on the cliff side. Hinata slowly walk toward him. She finally stopped and sat down 5 ft from him, because she didn't dare get any closer due to her shyness.

The sat there in silence for about 10 minutes, and Naruto's patience was running out. Unable to take it Naruto began to ask Hinata what she wanted to know from him, but...

"S..so w..why were y..you u..upset e..earlier?" Hinata asked before Naruto could even open his mouth. Truth be told she was getting slightly (very slighty) tired of the silence as well. So she decided to ask why he was upset.

Surprised, Naruto replied "Oh well... I just saw a lot kids about our age with their parents is all."

"H..how c..come? What a..about y..your parents?" Hinata asked. She never saw Naruto's parents, she always thought that they were always away on missions.

"I..I don't have any" Naruto whispered.

"U..um what d..did y..you say?" Hinata asked, not hearing what he had said.

"I said that I don't have any." Naruto replied, loud enough for Hinata to hear him this time.

*gasp* "But what about the apartment you live in?" Hinata asked, without stuttering, since it didn't make sence that Naruto had and apartment but no parents.

"I got kicked out of the orphanage for some reason. I don't know why." Naruto replied, also not noticing her lack of stuttering, with his bottom lip beginning to quiver.

"I..I'm s..sorry, I didn't know."

"It's ok Hinata, it's not like it was your fault."

"Do y..you wh..who they w..were?"

"No. Old man Hokage said I was found in the forest, outside of the village after the Nine-tails attack over 11 years ago. And old man Hokage has been giving me money for living expenses every month."

"Oh."

A few minutes passed with neither saying a word. Eventually, for some reason Hinata decided to share some of her own pain as well. "My mother passed away when I was young, it was a few months after my little sister Hanabi was born" Hinata said.

*gasp* "Really? I'm sorry" Naruto replied.

"It's ok Naruto, it's like you said to me, it's not your fault." Hinata said, using the same words (sort of) towards him.

"Yea, I guess your right." Naruto replied with a small smile. "So, do you have a good relationship with your sister?"Naruto asked, trying to get to know Hinata a little better.

*sigh* "Not r..really. Th..the same with father, ever since m..my mother's death h..he has bec..become more distant and its like Hanabi has followed him." Hinata replied. Naruto's smile dropped. "Why do y..you ask?"

"Oh well, I was just wondering what it was like to have siblings thats all. Ya' know."

"I..I see."

Another few minutes passed and Naruto decided to find out what Hinata really come to ask him, since he knew it couldn't have been because he was up set. So he figured it anyway. "So Hinata, what did you come to ask me in the first place?"

"Huh?!" Hinata asked, completely forgetting why she came looking for Naruto in the first place.

"What did you want to ask me when you got here?" Naruto replied.

"O..oh. Well I..I w..was wonder..ing how y..you f..found th..the "Flying Raijin Jutsu" ?" Hinata asked.

"What?! How did you know?!" Naruto asked back, shocked that Hinata somehow found out his secret.

"I..I s..saw you use it a...a f..few we..weeks before you asked I..Iruka s..sensei a..about the Four...Fourth Ho..Hokage." Hinata replied.

"What, but how I mean I made sure that no one saw me use it."

"I..I u..used m..my Byakugan and I saw y..you in the tr..tree and th..then y..you dis...disappeared. I..it was, I..I believe the f..first time y..you used it at s..school."

"What's byakugan?" Naruto asked never hearing the term before.

"I..its m..my clan's Kekkei Genkai. I..I can s..see through s..solid o..objects a..and s..such." Replied Hinata, afraid Naruto might think she is a stalker and/or weirdo.

"Oh that's cool. *sigh* Man I didn't think people could do that... WAIT! Have you told anyone Hinata?" Naruto was really nervous now, he prayed that Hinata had kept it to herself. Without realizing it Naruto grabbed her by the shoulders.

"N..no I've k..kept it t..to m..my..myself. I'm the o..only o..one who kn..knows, I p..promise." Hinata was really nervous because of how close Naruto was to her now.

*SIGH* "Could you please keep it that way Hinata? I mean if anyone finds out I could be in real trouble, I..I'll do anything." Naruto proclaimed.

Now if Hinata was anything like those other fan girls she wouldn't hesitate in making him go out with her and be her boyfriend. But she wasn't like them, granted she considered it, but she couldn't do that to him. "I..its ok Na..Naruto. I won't tell a..anyone, I..I promise." Hinata replied.

"Huh, r..really?" Hinata gave him a quick nod. *SIGH* "Thanks Hinata. I anyone found out i could get in real trouble for finding the jutsu." Naruto finally let go and backed away from Hinata a little bit.

"N..no p..problem. B..but h..how did y..you f..find it?" Hinata asked, both glad and disappointed that he backed away.

"Oh, remember when i got the Hokage covered with that pink paint?" Again Hinata nods but slower this time. "Well the pink Chunnin eventually stopped chasing me, I came across an abandoned house. It was about to rain so I went inside. I went to look for food, but then I saw a portrait of the Fourth Hokage. I knew I would be in big trouble if I got caught so I decided to leave, but then I saw a loose brick by the fireplace under the portrait. So I took the brick and I saw that was something in there, it was a scroll. I don't know why, but I took it and put the brick back and got out of there. When I got home I went through it and tried to master some jutsu. The first one happened to be the "Flying Raijin Jutsu". And I just mastered the jutsu a few months ago." Naruto was almost out of breath by the time he finished.

"I..I see." Hinata couldn't believe it, according to Naruto he had mastered an extremely complicated jutsu in only about a year. It just didn't seem real. Here was Naruto an 11 year old boy, who can't even do a simple clone jutsu thats like a "D" rank jutsu to save his life, yet he masters an "S" possibly a "SS" ranked jutsu in just a year. It just seemed impossible yet she had seen him use the justu multiple times, there was no doubt about that.

They just continued to sit there for hours just enjoying each other's company. Just an hour before sunset Hinata was curious about any other thing so she decided to ask. "U..Um Na..Naruto?"

"Hmm? Yea Hinata?" Naruto replied.

"W..why does e..everyone d..dislike you s..so m..much?" Hinata asked.

"Oh well, I don't know. I mean its been like that for as long as I can remember. I asked old man Hokage, but he doesn't want to tell me until I'm older. He never really told me why though. Ya' know."

"I..I see. W..well I need to go home now Na..Naruto. I..I'll s..see you at s..school."

"Ok Hinata, and thanks for not telling anyone."

With a curt nod Hinata left for home with a smile on her face for satisfying her curiosity, but even more because she got to spend most of the day just sitting next to and getting to know Naruto.

After a few minutes Naruto's stomach growled voicing it's lack of its usual daily intake today. "Oops hehe, I completely forgot I havent eaten since breakfast this morning." So Naruto got up and headed toward Ichiraku's for ramen, and in a much better mood that he was in hours ago.


It was April 14th. Tomorrow was the graduation exam (don't know the actual date), so you would think that Naruto who was going for his 3rd attempt at graduating would be in class to make sure he would graduate this time around, right? WRONG! There was a commotion around the Hokage's Tower. It turns out, that instead of being in class, Naruto decided to paint the Hokage faces on the Hokage Monument. Naruto had begun to wear green goggles shortly after his talk with Hinata.

You could hear some villagers yelling "HEY GET DOWN FROM THERE YOU DAMN BRAT!"/ "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO THE GREAT HOKAGE FACES!" Those were just some of the things said. The Third Hokage was currently being informed, and wasn't to happy about hearing that Naruto was caught pulling yet another prank.

Meanwhile Naruto replies "AHAHAHAHAHA!YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO DO WHAT I DID! HAHAHAHA!"

Just then Iruka shows up and uses his "Big Demon Head Jutsu"and yells "JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING NARUTO? YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE IN CLASS!"

"Yikes! Iruka sensei, I better get outta here!" And with that Naruto runs off.

Naruto managed to hide from the Chunnin following him after turning a corner and using his privacy fence camo tarp. Once the Chunnin ran past Naruto thinking it was safe to come out, did, and laughed saying "Haha suckers, they'll never catch me."

"Oh yea Naruto?!" Iruka said appearing out of nowhere. (Not at the level Naruto could though haha)

"Aaah! Where did you come from?" Naruto asked after jumping 6 ft in the air.


Back in the classroom Iruka had Naruto tied up, and sitting on the floor in front of the class. "Tomorrow is the graduation exam, and you've already failed it twice now. You shouldn't have been out causing trouble and come to class you moron!" Iruka yelled, in front of the whole class.

"Yea yea whatever." Naruto replied.

"Alright Naruto if that's the way you want it." Iruka then towards the class and announces "Alright everyone we're having an exam review on the "Transformation Jutsu". Everyone line up and transform perfectly into me."

"UUUUGGGGHHHH!" The whole class, but Naruto, responded.

Once they were lined up Naruto was released from his bindings and took his place in line. "This is a complete waste of time Naruto, I could be taking a nap right now" Said Shikamaru. Shikamaru was a lazy boy with black hair, done up in a spiky pony tail like Iruka's, with brown pants a mesh shirt and a grey short sleeve jacket with blue circles on both shoulders.

"Yea, we always pay for your screw-ups you idiot." Said Ino, who was a platinum blonde hair in a pony tail that went down to a couple inches above her waist. She wore a purple midriff tang-top that went to just above her bellybutton and a purple skirt that went to a couple inches above her knees with slits all the way up. She also had on white bandages underneath both items to prevent her skin to be seen. She also wore white sleeves that went from her wrist to her upper bicep, with the ends also in purple.

"Like I care" Naruto claimed as it was his turn to perform the "Transformation Jutsu". Naruto formed the "Ram" (or sheep which ever you prefer) hand sign to begin the jutsu. "Transform" Naruto said.

Of course what Iruka got wasn't what he wanted, instead of seeing himself he saw a beautiful young girl with long blonde pig-tails. But what really got his attention was that she was completely naked. As a result Iruka was sent flying backward with a massive nosebleed. Naruto then undid the jutsu and laughed. "Ahahaha! I call that my "Sexy Jutsu", how do like that?" Naruto said still laughing.

"Cut the stupid tricks, this is your last warning!" Iruka yelled, once he got up, all of a sudden having tissue up his nostrils to stop the nosebleed."


Iruka was now atop the Hokage Monument watching Naruto as he was scrubbing all the paint off of the Hokage faces. "Your not going anywhere until all the paint is gone." Iruka said.

"Like it matters, its not like anyone is waiting at home for me. Ya'know." Naruto replied.

That comment struck a cord in Iruka, for he knew what it was like growing up without any parents. His parents died during the Nine-tail's attack when he was still in the academy. "Hey Naruto." Naruto looked up with a sour look on his face. "How about after you get this cleaned up, I treat you to some ramen, ok?"

Naruto's face brightened up immediately. "Are you serious? Talk about some serious motivation heehee!"

Later that night at Ichiraku's Iruka would ask Naruto why he would paint the Hokage faces. Naruto would then reply saying that he was going to surpass all of them and become the greatest Hokage ever and gain everyone's acknowledgement and respect.


Naruto was currently in a clearing going through the "Forbidden Scroll of Sealing" training to master the "Shadow Clone Jutsu",order to pass the extra-credit exam, as Mizuki called it anyway. You see, Naruto had once again failed the graduation exam just like the last 2 times because the tested on the basic "Clone Jutsu". Which just so happened to be Naruto's worst jutsu.

Mizuki had come to him after the exam and offered him the "Extra-Credit Exam". All he had to do was sneak into the Hokage Tower and steal the scroll he now currently had. He almost got caught by the Third Hokage, but a quick "Sexy Jutsu" knocked him out of it just long enough for Naruto to make his get-a-way.

While Naruto had been training Mizuki spread the word that Naruto has taken the "Forbidden Scroll of Sealing", and the Third Hokage had assembled all available Chunnin including Iruka and Mizuki. "I want all of you to go search for Naruto. Do not harm him and bring him back here. Dismissed!" The Third Hokage ordered.

Back in the clearing, hours had past. And Naruto was panting with the scroll tied to his back. A shadow suddenly hovered over Naruto. "There you are, what the hell were you thinking Naruto?!" Yelled Iruka when he found Naruto, taking note that Naruto has been training very hard.

"Oh hey Iruka sensei." Naruto said, paying no mind to Iruka's question.

"What have you been doing with that scroll way out here Naruto?" Iruka asked.

"Oh Mizuki sensei told me about this place, he told me that if I could master one jutsu from this scroll before someone found me then I could become a Genin." Naruto answered.

Realizing that that meant Mizuki had tricked Naruto, and sensing an attack Iruka shoved Naruto out of the way of the barrage of kunai that came their way. Iruka had managed not to get hit in any vital spots, but he was still badly injured. "Hahahaha, you were quick to react there eh, Iruka?" Mizuki said appearing from a branch up in a tree at the tree line.

"Wh..why Mizuki?" Iruka asked.

"Wha..whats going on here why did Mizuki sensei attack us?" Naruto asked, confused as to what was happening.

"Naruto give me the scroll Iruka just wants it for himself, don't trust him." Mizuki said to Naruto.

"NO! Don't do it Naruto, just take the scroll and run to Lord Hokage. I'll hold off Mizuki." Iruka told Naruto in order to protect him and the scroll.

"I..I don't know what to do, who should I trust?" Naruto asked himself.

Seeing that this wasn't getting him the scroll Mizuki decided to reveal something to Naruto. "Hehe, Naruto haven't you ever wanted to know why the village as always hated you, why Iruka hates you?"

Naruto was shocked, he had always wanted to know why. So he waited for Mizuki to continue. "NO! Mizuki its forbidden!" Iruka yelled, in an attempt to silence Mizuki, but it fell on deaf ears.

"Hahahaha, it's because of the Nine-tailed fox sealed inside of you. You are the Nine-tails that thrashed this village and killed Iruka's parents."


I know cliffhanger, oh well. Anyway let me know how you liked it. I will be correcting errors on chapter 1 then I will start on chapter 4. Shouldn't take too long.
