Chapter 3
The next day, Minato sat in his office with Iruka, Sarutobi and Jiraiya. As he looked over the list the chūnin gave him, he considered the possible choices he could make. "Tell me, Iruka. Are you certain that this is a good idea?" Minato asked him.
"Yes, Lord Hokage. According to accademy standards, this is how the squads should be set up." Iruka replied.
Minato sighed. "Sadly, I have to disagree." he said. "One of those standards say that the best and worst students should be placed on the same squad in order to balance the squads out. What makes it worse is that the students are rated only by their paper grades, which says very little about their overall knowledge and skill. To be honest, only my squad, when I was a gennin, was a real success in that department, and that was because Arashi was holding back."
Jiraiya nodded in agreement. "He's right. Arashi even told us that he intentionally did poorly in order to be on Minato's squad, since he knew he was the best. Putting the best and worst students together is usually a bad idea, especially since academics don't matter much in the real world. What needs to be done is to find students that work well together and pair them up." He then looked at his old student and asked, "So who are the best and worst students, Minato?"
"It says here that Sasuke is the best while Naruto is the worst, but that's only because he's been there for a month." Minato replied.
Jiraiya shook his head. "That won't do. I can tell that Naruto and the Uchiha won't get along. Putting them on the same squad is asking for trouble."
"So what do you suggest, Master Jiraiya?" Iruka asked.
Jiraiya took a peek at the list and smiled. "Perhaps Naruto needs to be exposed to those he's more comfortable around."
"You mean Hinata and Sakura, since Ino's set to be on the new Ino-Shika-Chou squad?" Minato rubbed his chin in thought. "That's not a bad idea. Knowing Naruto, he'll help both girls in their training. Sakura isn't particularly strong and Hinata is too nervous without Naruto with her."
"But Hinata's needed on the tracking squad." Iruka protested.
"True, but that squad already has two trackers. Why would a third tracker be needed?" Minato countered. "Besides, Naruto is the best tracker among the graduates, but that's beside the point. The point is that having a squad of nothing but trackers is not a good idea. They'll need someone with both strength and brains to bail them out of a dire situation if they're ever in one. I'm sure this girl here can do that."
Jiraiya looked at the name Minato pointed to. "A Kurama?"
"Yes. She was said to be possessed by a demon, but Naruto took care of that problem. She's another of Naruto's friends and I believe she'll benefit from who I have in mind of training her." Minato smiled as he finally decided how the graduates will be paired up and who will train them.

Elsewhere, Naruto was gathering up his female friends for a special announcement he has for them. 'I hope I'm doing the right thing in telling them this.' he thought to himself.
"You'll be fine, kit. I'll be right beside you the whole time." Inari said in his head.
"Thanks, Inari. I appreciate it." he replied as he scratched her ears, getting a content purr from the goddess.
He then stopped in front of the Haruno residence. He knocked on the door and Sakura answered it. "Hi, Naruto." she greeted.
"Hi, Sakura. Ready to go?" he asked her.
Sakura nodded before telling her mom that she'll be gone for a few hours. They left to pick up Ino, who was waiting outside her home, which is also her family's flower shop. After hugging her two friends and allowing the vixen to relax in her arms, they went to get Tenten, who wasn't too far away. Her family's weapon shop is in the business district and is well known for the quality of its weapons. The name of the shop is called 'Kazama Armory'.
Tenten stood in front of the shop and greeted her friends with a smile. "Hey guys!" she greeted.
"Hey, Tenten!" After hugging her three friends, the group of four went to the Kurama estate to pick up their heiress, Yakumo.
When they arrived, they saw a young girl around their age standing by the front gates. She has long brown hair, brown eyes and is dressed in a simple forest green kimono. When she saw Naruto, she smiled. "Good morning, Naruto." she said.
"Good morning to you too, Yakumo." Naruto replied with a smiled before hugging her. "These are my friends, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka and Tenten Kazama." he added, pointing to each of the kunoichis.
After introductions were made, the group went to the Hyuuga compound to pick up Hinata. After the two heiresses were introduced, they went to the Namikaze-Uzumaki estate, which was close by. When they arrived, the girls greeted Kushina, who's currently busy cooking lunch for twelve with Shizune. Naruto then took them up to his room.
Once inside, he channeled some of his chakra into a hidden seal under his desk, which activated a series of seals he set up on the walls for complete privacy. After that, he locked his door and slapped a seal on it as well. "I know I invited you all over for lunch with my family, but I also want to tell you something very important and very secretive. If you don't want to hear it, I'll take you to the living room so Akane can stretch her legs for a bit before lunch." The five girls are aware of Naruto's split personality disorder and the fact that Akane, the other personality, can be summoned to aid her brother, as she calls him.
"Why are you willing to tell us something like this?" Yakumo wondered.
"Because I trust you and believe that you'll keep this secret to yourselves and never reveal it to anyone." was Naruto's answer.
"Are you sure you should be telling us? I mean, Ino isn't too good at keeping secrets, especially since they'll make great gossip." Sakura pointed out, getting a huff from the platinum blonde.
"This isn't a secret that can be spread like it'll lower someone's popularity. This secret could cost people's lives if it were known to the public." Naruto informed them in a serious tone. He knew that Sakura's comment was both a joke and half true, but he needed them to understand how dangerous what he wanted to tell them is if they told anyone.
"N-Naruto, if it's so dangerous, w-why tell us?" Hinata asked him.
"Because it involves two of you directly and you girls must know this in case someone comes after you to get to me." It's no secret that the Hokage's son has a strong attachment to the women he knows. A few clan maidens tried to befriend him in hopes of him marrying them, but he saw through their ruse and avoided them. He couldn't stand people like that; willing to send women to seduce him into their clans for his power.
Ino sighed before her face took on a serious look. "I understand what you're saying, Naruto. You have my word that I won't tell another soul." she said with her right hand over her heart.
"We promise not to tell anyone, Naruto." the other four said in unison.
Naruto smiled, seeing the honesty in their eyes. "Thank you so much, girls. You don't know what this means to me." he said gratefully. He then sighed before he began to explain. "Tell me. What exactly happened twelve years ago?"
The five kunoichis blinked. "The Nine-Tailed Fox and that giant golden ape attacked the village. Your father defeated them, didn't he?" Sakura explained.
Naruto shook his head. "Not exactly. This is why I don't want you telling anyone. What you just said, Sakura, is a lie." The girls gasped. "They're both still alive, but only one of them can be trusted. You see, the Nine-Tailed Fox was, in fact, protecting the village by fighting the giant golden ape. Unfortunately, someone attacked the fox and placed it under a genjutsu, forcing it to attack the village with the ape. They both were sealed away, but because the fox is related to a goddess, my family and I were taken away from here to protect the world from a great disaster."
"But where were they sealed?" Tenten asked, only to cover her mouth when Naruto took off his shirt. The girls blushed when they saw just how ripped he is. Ino and Sakura are mentally drooling at the thought of feeling those muscles. Their eyes then widened when they saw an intricate seal appear on his stomach. That's when it clicked. "Your father sealed them inside you?" the bun-haired girl said slowly.
Naruto closed his eyes and nodded. "Yes... yes, he did. The sealing ritual required him to summon the Shinigami to help in the sealing at the price of his soul. But the deity decided to do it without that payment and, instead, took us to another realm until it was time for us to come home. During that time, the fox was released and was able to resume its original duties while the ape remained trapped within me, never to be freed to wreak havoc again." He then put his shirt back on, picked up Inari and cradled her in his arms. "To be honest, she is the one the village fears and she's no real threat to anyone, really."
Their eyes widened even further. They never knew that the white vixen that's usually with Naruto is, in fact, the Nine-Tailed Fox. "It's true, girls. I am the Nine-Tailed Fox." she said, startling them. She's never spoken around them before.
"Don't be afraid, girls. I told you, she's no threat to anyone. Unless she, myself or anyone we care for are in danger, she's as gentle as you are, Hinata." Said girl blushed brighter at Naruto comment. "Also, she's not really a fox."
"She's not?" Ino blinked. The vixen in his arms isn't really a vixen?
"He's right. Watch." Inari hopped out of Naruto's arms and transformed into her actual form. The girls were floored when they saw a white-haired woman with unimaginable beauty. She's garbed in a snow white kimono with light blue trim and a light blue obi, matching formal slippers and a gold necklace. "My real name is Inari."
This revelation nearly made all five girls faint. The fox demon that attacked the village is actually a goddess!
"Now do you understand why no one should know? Think of all the people who would come after us. I mean, they might use me as both a weapon and as a bargaining chip against Inari to get her to do whatever they want." Naruto explained. He then hugged the goddess and added, "They might even rape her with the intention of gaining her powers and immortality."
Inari smiled down at him as she wrapped her arms around him. "As my medium and dear friend, Naruto has first dibs on any of this." she added, waving a hand over her body. She didn't need to say that, but she wanted to see their reaction.
What she got were four deep blushes and two knocked out heiresses. "That was uncalled for, Inari." Naruto chided.
"What?" she asked innocently.
Naruto rolled his eyes before proceeding to wake up Hinata and Yakumo. After they were conscious again, Naruto explained Inari's behavior. "Inari may be eons old, but she is very playful at times and we both have a thing for each other. The only reason she even said that is because of the Clan Restoration Act."
"The Clan Restoration Act? You're actually on that?" Sakura asked with wide eyes. She knows what that law is. She also knows that Sasuke's on it, but she's not willing to share him with anyone. The same with Naruto.
"Yes. I am legally allowed to marry more than one girl. My parents and I had to force the council not to force any arranged marriages on me in an attempt to control my father and steal my mother's bloodline through me." Naruto told them.
Hinata, Yakumo and Ino nodded in understanding. Being heiresses to their clans, they're well aware of other clans going after the males of a powerful clan or bloodline in order to obtain their power or influence. Being the son of two war heroes, one being a kage, as well as possessing a powerful, though unknown, bloodline makes him a prime target.
"What a minute. You said that this involved two of us directly. How?" Ino asked, remembering him saying that earlier.
"Because before I was born, two of you were promised to me." The girls shared a shocked look while Hinata blushed brightly and looked ready to faint again.
"Who?" Yakumo asked while holding onto Hinata, noticing that she might faint again.
"The daughters of my father's teammates." When Naruto said that, Hinata fainted right onto Yakumo's lap while Tenten stared at him with wide eyes.
After Sakura woke Hinata up, Naruto carried on. "My parents and their friends and students knew that the council would extend the CRA to me in the hopes of having more ninjas like my parents. Only Dad's teammates agreed to have their eldest daughters arranged to marry me, but only if the three of us agreed to it. It can be called off if we say no to it, so it's no problem if you're not up for it."
"So Hinata and I are arranged to marry you, but only if we want to?" Tenten asked him.
"That's right. We weren't supposed to know this until we either turned fifteen or fell in love, whichever one came first." Naruto replied. "I found out last year and have been watching you two from the realm we were in." When he saw Hinata ready to faint again, he added, "Don't worry, I wasn't peeking on either of you. I just entered your dreams to get to know you. However, I doubt either of you would have recognized me since I was much younger in your dreams."
"Hold on. You mean that little boy who had a big crush on me was you?" Tenten exclaimed with pink cheeks.
Naruto nodded with flushed cheeks as well. "Well, my mother is a tomboy at times, but knows how to be beautiful. I guess I'm a bit attracted to tomboys. I like them more than typical girls, anyway."
"Which explains your strong attachment to your mom." Ino commented. "You never did mention that she is a tomboy. She sure doesn't look like one."
"I know. Even dressed in her usual attire, she's just too hot to be considered a tomboy." Naruto then shrugged. "Anyway, that's why you two are involved and needed to know before something bad happens."
"What about us?" Sakura asked.
"I told you three as well because I like you. To be honest, they want me to marry at least five girls. Since I'm engaged to two and I intend on courting them, if they want me to that is, I think that dating you three as well and seeing if you want to marry me in the future couldn't hurt much, right?"
The girls thought over Naruto's proposal for a few moments and nodded, but Yakumo wasn't sure. "Do we have to?" she asked.
"I never said that you did. It's only a suggestion, Yakumo." he said to her. "If you're not willing, I won't look at you any different. I'm not that kind of guy. Just because I like you doesn't mean we have to date. Inari and I love each other and we're not dating." Inari nodded in agreement, which shocked the girls.
Yakumo smiled at him, but shook her head. "Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. I'm not really ready to be in a relationship."
"It's okay, Yakumo. I completely understand." Naruto then turned to the other girls and wondered what their answers are.
Hinata looked Naruto in the eye before standing up, sitting on his lap and hugging him. "I really enjoyed our time in my dreams. I kinda knew that the little boy was you. I mean, you two looked too much alike."
"Yeah, that was the idea. I wanted you two to enjoy your dreams with me." Naruto smiled as he turned from the girl in his arms to Tenten and smiled wider when he spotted her smile. "You know, you don't have to give me an answer now. Besides, I want to take you all out tonight as a way to say that I care."
Sakura and Ino nearly squealed in delight. "We'd love to!" they exclaimed.
Inari laughed. "Somehow, I knew you two would say that." she said.
Yakumo and Hinata giggled, clearly amused at the two. Tenten, however, covered her mouth to hide her own laughter.
Then, Inari stopped laughing. "Um, Naruto. Aren't you going to show them that?" she asked her medium.
Naruto blinked. He completely forgot about that. "Oh, right. I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me."
The kunoichis were confused as to what they were referring to. Suddenly, Hinata eep'd when she felt something wrap around her left leg, knowing that Naruto's arms are around her waist. She looked down and raised an eyebrow at the dark brown monkey-like tail on her leg. "Um, what is that?" she asked.
When the others looked at it, their eyebrows raised as well. Naruto and Inari, on the other hand, simply looked at it like it was always there. "That, girls, is my tail." Naruto then explained about his saiyan heritage, his connection to Broly and about him and his parents going to Other World to train with their ancestors. The girls were even shocked when he said that he got to meet his parents' dead friends and a few members of the Uchiha clan, including one of Minato's students.
Her curiosity getting the better of her, Sakura sat close to Naruto and started to pet his tail. She was surprised when she felt him snuggle up to her as soon as she started stroking it. This surprise led to her focusing on the boy more than his tail.
As soon as Sakura stopped petting his tail, Naruto blinked at the loss of the pleasent feeling and wondered what just happened... that is, until he noticed how close he was to Sakura. "Sorry about that. I forgot to mention that a saiyan's tail is very sensitive, which could be very bad for us if anyone found out." Naruto explained.
Ten minutes later, Shizune knocked on the door and said that lunch is ready. Naruto and the girls smiled as they left the room.

Three days later, Naruto and Inari sat in the classroom as they awaited the arrival of Iruka, who will tell them which squad they're on. Next to him is Hinata, whose newly acquired tail is playing with his, much to their delight. After the lunch three days ago, Hinata and Tenten told him that they'll gladly accept the betrothal while Sakura and Ino wanted to date him before deciding if they're willing to marry him. He used a special ritual Inari taught him to share some of his saiyan blood with the two girls, turning them into half saiyans. Arashi and his wife, Tenshi, took it well and their younger daughter, Tennyo, loved to play with her sister's tail.
Sadly, the same couldn't be said for Hinata when the Hyuuga elders found out. They threatened to brand Hinata with their clan's Curse Seal Jutsu, but Naruto intervened and said that branding Hinata with it will cause her to go on a rampage that only he could stop. He also said that, since she'll be marrying him in a few years, she has the right to possess his bloodline, which includes the tail. They tried to cut it off, but Naruto stopped them and said that it'll only grow back and that if anyone leaks the knowledge of him, his parents or Hinata having a tail, he'll kill them in a very painful way. To push his point further, he unleashed a massive amount of murderous intent that rivaled Broly's best.
Sakura and Ino asked why he didn't perform the ritual on them. His answer was that he's only allowed to perform it on his fiancées or wives. Both girls understood and left it at that.
A notable difference is that Hinata is wearing a new outfit. Sakura and Ino took Hinata and Tenten out for a new wardrobe, on Naruto's tab, to celebrate the engagement. The Hyuuga heiress is now wearing a sleeveless dark lavender top with white trim and the midriff exposed, a dark lavender split skirt with white trim, black tight shorts and black knee-high boots. Her headband still resides around her neck, but now has dark lavender fabric instead of the usual blue. Also, she has a silver wrist watch on her left wrist and a silver bracelet on her right wrist. These are gifts from Naruto. The watch is actually an invention created by one of his ancestors: Bulma Briefs. It's called the Capsule Corp. Special Wrist Watch. With the press of a button, the wearer's attire can change in an instant. It's similar to the Transformation Jutsu, but the clothes are real and not an illusion. Bulma upgraded it at Naruto's request so it can hold up to five different outfits. It was first made for another of Naruto's ancestors: Son Gohan. Bulma made the watch for Gohan so he can protect the city he was going to high school in without anyone knowing it was him. Naruto liked the idea, but thought his costume was a little silly and looked better on his wife, Videl, than it did on him.
The bracelet is something that Naruto and Minato made several months ago. Since saiyans transform at the sight of the full moon and because the Uzumaki clan has a strong connection to the moon, they made these bracelets to prevent the Giant Ape transformation altogether. They call it the Namikaze clan's Lunar God Bracelet. An added feature is that it contains a pair of seals. One seal is Naruto's first original seal called the True Transformation Seal. It's based on his True Transformation Jutsu, which is a much more advanced version of the Transformation Jutsu. While the Transformation Jutsu is an illusion, the True Transformation Jutsu is completely real. Naruto marked it as a forbidden jutsu because most gennin don't have the chakra capacity to use it for extended periods as well as the realism being something he does not want well known. The seal, on the other hand, is selective and can either change an object into something else or hide something from view, the latter being a new feature. Naruto, his family, Hinata and Tenten wears them to hide their tails so no one can use them against them. The other seal is, in fact, the sealing formula for Minato's signature jutsu: the Flying Raijin. With it, he can teleport to any location where the seal is, as well as know the location of whatever it is on as long as said object or person is touching the ground. It also possesses sensory properties, so he'll know what's around the marked object or person. Due to how the jutsu works, Minato had to slightly modify the seal so Kushina and Naruto can use it as well, as well as apply their seals to the bracelets so that they can also appear if they're needed.
Sitting behind the two half saiyans are Sakura, Ino and Yakumo. The three kunoichis are smiling at the pair as they fingered a small silver bracelet on their right wrists. Since Sakura and Ino aren't part saiyans and Yakumo isn't romantically interested in him, Naruto gave them a bracelet that bears only his sealing formula. That way, he can be at their side if they're ever in trouble.
They were interrupted when Iruka came in, holding a clipboard in his hands. "Alright class, settle down." he called out as he entered. Everyone sat down as he begins his final lecture. The hardest thing for a teacher is to say goodbye to their students for the last time. This is his least favorite thing about his job, but it must be done anyways. "All right everyone, listen up. Now that you are all shinobi, it's time for you to work towards your careers as one. There will be times where you'll have to put your life on the line out there to protect a comrade or the village as a whole. This is no joke and you can't treat it like one. Now, to prepare you all for this, you'll all be placed into squads of three. Each squad will have a jounin instructor who will guide and train you in the ninja arts so you'll be better prepared out there. Right now, you are all gennin, considered the lowest in rank. As time passes, you'll all gain the experience needed to reach the higher ranks and, eventually, your goals." He looks over the class, who took all this information in like a sponge. 'I really hope they're ready for this.' Iruka thought before announcing the squads.
xxxxx
Inside the Hokage's office, Minato, Sarutobi, the sannin, four jounin, several clan heads and a few parents are watching the class of ninja. Many parents smiled as they watched their children. Next to the her husband, Kushina gazed into the crystal ball, keeping her vision locked on her son.
xxxxx
"The first squad is squad six." Iruka began. "Sasuke Uchiha, Sai and Ami."
xxxxx
"Sasuke, one of the few Uchihas still alive. He specializes in fire ninjutsu and taijutsu. Though his genjutsu skills are unknown, he is quite skilled in the basic academy jutsu as well as knowing a few fire jutsu. Quite impressive for a twelve-year-old, though the Uchiha do teach their children fire jutsu at a young age anyway, so I'm not really surprised." Minato explained to the group. "Sadly, while the boy is excellent in combat, he has both a lone wolf personality along with a superiority complex; something that Mikoto's been trying to work out of him. Don't expect him to work with others, as he believes them to be weak and that they'll only hold him back."
"Now I see why he wasn't paired with Naruto. From what sensei told me, the boy would have literally beaten the arrogance out of him." squad six's jounin instructor said.
"That's why you were chosen for this. Just don't take it too far, Anko." Kushina told her.
"Don't worry, I won't." Anko replied with a smile.
"Next is Sai." Minato continued. "Not much is known about him, but he does have talent in both ninjutsu and taijutsu. Like Sasuke, his genjutsu is unknown, but that's only due to him not being seen using any. He is skilled with the basic academy jutsu as well as knowing how to use a tantō. He also has his own style of ninjutsu which revolves around his paintings. Due to being part of Danzou's ROOT, he does not know about emotions. I know having you, Anko, teach him emotions is not a good idea, but I know you'll lead him down the right path." Anko nodded in understanding.
"Finally, there's Ami. She specializes in genjutsu and is said to know quite a bit on the subject. Her ninjutsu and taijutsu are somewhat average. She's very skilled with the basic academy jutsu and has great stealth. For being the daughter of two civilians, she's very talented. The only problem you'll have is that she's a fangirl and one of the few that actually graduated. I hope you can work that out of her and not frighten her."
Anko's grin made everyone nervous.
xxxxx
"Next up is squad seven." Iruka continued. "Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyuuga."
xxxxx
"My son is best described as a frontline fighter. He specializes in ninjutsu, taijutsu, kenjutsu, bōjutsu and is a seal expert. His genjutsu is low due to him being unable to learn most of them; though he is quite good with what he does know. He's very skilled with three of the five basic academy jutsu. The other two he cannot learn. He also has great stealth, better than some ANBU, and is physically stronger, faster and tougher than Might Guy. I kid you not. His only flaws are his lack of genjutsu skills, which I hope you can fix, and the fact that he must never be angered. Only Kushina and Inari, his familiar, can calm him down if he ever becomes pissed." Minato explained.
"Sakura, while another civilian fangirl, specializes in genjutsu, like Ami; though she's not at her level. Her ninjutsu and taijutsu are rather low, but Naruto's been helping her with that for the past month. She's very skilled with the basic academy jutsu and is very smart. Her only flaws are the fangirlism and her lack of practical training, which makes me wonder how she passed the Graduation Exam. I'm sure you can help her improve in the areas that Naruto cannot help her in."
"Of course, Lord Hokage." squad seven's jounin instructor said with a smile.
"And finally, there's Hinata. She specializes in taijutsu and while her ninjutsu and genjutsu are average, her clan doesn't want her to practice them. I'm glad that she is practicing them like her mother did." Hikari smiled at her brother's comment. "She's very skilled with the basic academy jutsu and is very flexible. She has talent in medicine and also has the Saiyan bloodline, thanks to her being Naruto's betrothed. I don't know if you can teach her any genjutsu; though Naruto told me that she wants to learn them so she can be the first genjutsu-wielding Hyuuga."
xxxxx
"Next up is squad eight." Iruka continued. "Yakumo Kurama, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame."
xxxxx
"Yakumo, like all Kuramas, specializes in genjutsu. Her ninjutsu and taijutsu are very low, but she's trying to fix that. She's very familiar with the basic academy jutsu and her illusions are said to be unbreakable. Keep an eye on her, Rin. She's not physically ready to be a kunoichi, but she has plenty of heart and Naruto's helping her reach her dreams." Minato said to his student.
"How sweet of him." squad eight's jounin instructor, Rin Inuzuka, said with a warm smile. She's the younger sister of Tsume with shoulder-length brown hair, feral brown eyes and bearing purple rectangles on her cheeks.
"Your nephew, Kiba, is a wild one, like most Inuzuka males. He specializes in ninjutsu and taijutsu, though his ninjutsu are clan-based. His genjutsu is low due to his lousy chakra control. He's familiar with the basic academy jutsu, though he doesn't use most of them. Physically, he's strong, fast and capable of being a great ninja. Mentally, he's not very bright, impulsive and is more like a dog than his familiar, Akamaru."
"That's true." Tsume and Rin said together.
"Shino, like all Aburames, is a walking enigma. He specializes in taijutsu, as he can't learn ninjutsu or genjutsu due to his low chakra stores. He's very skilled with the basic academy jutsu, despite his low chakra capacity, and is very smart. His sense of logic and analytical mind makes him one of the top students this year. I hope you can improve on this and make him great."
"I'll do my best, Minato-sensei." Rin said to him.
xxxxx
"Squad nine is still in circulation so we'll move on to squad ten." Iruka continued. "Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Chouji Akimichi."
xxxxx
"A recreation of the original Ino-Shika-Chou trio. Ino has no real specialties, as she's quite good in ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu. She's very skilled with the basic academy jutsu and with ninja tools. Like Sakura and Ami, she's a fangirl, though she's coming out of it and is now focused on my son instead of Sasuke. She has talent for both interrogation and medicine. Her main fault is her lithe figure. This is due to her dieting for so long, though Inoichi and Ikana are glad that Naruto convinced her to stop, as is Sayuki with Sakura." Minato continued.
"Shikamaru is like a mini-Shikaku. Like Ino, he's quite good in all three areas, though that's only if you can motivate him. He is familiar with the basic academy jutsu and has a very strategic mind. I think an IQ test would be necessary as well as a way to motivate him to do more than sleep and stare at the clouds all day."
"That's a tough one. I mean, Yoshino has a hard time motivating the boy. What makes you think I can do any better?" squad ten's jounin instructor asked.
"I can't answer that, Yugao, though I wish I could. I'm sure Kushina could do it, but she's not taking on anymore students and would prefer to remain here as my assistant." Minato replied.
"Don't even think about saying it, Anko." Kushina stopped her student from saying something that was both improper and aimed at both her and her husband.
"Anyway, Chouji is also just like his father at his age. Like Chouza, he specializes in taijutsu, though his ninjutsu isn't lacking that much. His genjutsu is rather low, though that's due to him preferring ninjutsu and taijutsu instead. He's quite familiar with the basic academy jutsu and has to eat to keep his chakra stores up. He's physically very strong, though not very fast, and is very dependable." Chouza smiled at the Hokage's comment.
xxxxx
"Now, your jounin instructors shall be here momentarily, so wait here until they arrive." Iruka said to the class before everyone started to talk amongst themselves again.
Like Iruka said, four jounin appeared in puffs of smoke a moment later. Naruto smiled when he saw that it was Rin and all three of his mother's students. Two weeks ago, Minato introduced him to Rin and her close friend and teammate, Kakashi Hatake. He was surprised to learn that they, along with the sannin, are his godparents and that Rin was the one who delivered him. Kakashi offered to train him, but he had to wait until after he became a ninja. That and Kakashi can only train him on his days off due to him being an ANBU captain.
"Squad six, come with me." Anko said before walking over to the door. Sasuke, Sai and Ami got up and followed the woman out the classroom.
"Squad seven, over here please." Kurenai said. Naruto, Sakura and Hinata stood next to her and they vanished a second later.
"Squad eight?" Rin asked.
"Hi, Aunt Rin." Kiba waved while Akamaru barked his own greeting.
"Hello, you two." she said before the five of them left.
"Well, that leaves you three with me." said Yugao before they also walked out the classroom.

A/N: Okay, I'm going to stop it here. I'm not going to do the Gennin Tests this chapter, as I need time to think of some unique ones that fit the jounins' personalities. Anyway, please read and review. I can really use the feedback. Any and all flames shall be blasted by Vegeta's Galick Gun.
As you can see, you now know who's all in Naruto's harem. There is one more girl who will join, but that won't be until much later in the story. Like the challenge states, all of Naruto's girls will be part saiyan. This also applies to Mikoto, but she isn't one yet. So far, only Hinata and Tenten are part saiyan. And yes, Megami's gift to Naruto allowed him to visit his two fiancées in their dreams, but he was around seven years old or so in those dreams. This is why Hinata showed familiarity last chapter and why they accepted the betrothal so quickly.
Also, what do you think of the squads? And yes, all four joinin are kunoichis. I did this for a reason. The first is that I only wanted Kakashi to train Naruto, since the council wanted him to train Sasuke because of the Sharingan. With Mikoto alive, she can teach him how to use it once it awakens. Kakashi won't be making many appearances in this story, but he will be seen quite a bit. As for Yugao, she's still a jounin, but she'll retire from the ANBU to train squad ten. She'll only retire if they pass. The same goes for Rin and Anko, as they are also in the ANBU.
One more thing. Be sure to check every Sunday for any possible updates to either my stories or my profile. I'll only update on Sundays from now on. Also, I won't be updating this story for at least a month. I need to focus on one of my stories before I can resume any of my others. That and it gives me time to iron out my ideas for the next chapter. Also, I updated the other chapters again. I didn't change much, but I did make a few changes and error fixes. I'm not sure why I keep letting errors slip by me.
Response Corner:
A.D. Sargent: Yeah, planning this story, even from a challenge, was quite hard for me. For me, crossovers are difficult for me to write, but Dragon Ball series crossovers seem to be some of the hardest. Now, I never intended on revealing Kushina's hobbies so quickly, but during scenes with Naruto and the girls where it can be mentioned. Since you asked, I'll tell you. There's no reason to keep it a secret unless I wasn't asked. Anyway, Kushina's hobbies are pranking, gardening, singing, training and teaching, though I'm not sure if the last one really counts as a hobby. She and her son do have their non-serious moments, but it's actually her and the two men in her life, which is why Naruto's so close to her. Nonetheless, Kushina and Naruto do have a habit of monkeying around, as you put it. No pun intended.
Important Notice: 1/10/2010: Due to circumstances beyond my control, which is very annoying I might add, I haven't done my usual spelling and grammar check. If I was to make it on time, I had to skip it. I'll repost this chapter next week.
Update: 1/17/2010: This chapter has been reposted just like I said above. If you read this during the week is was up, please don't fault me on any mistakes I may've made.
Update: 4/18/2010: Due to some changes I made for the next chapter, as well as a few typos, I updated this chapter to fix them.
Later!
