I Do Not Own Naruto

A/N

Shout-out to Whitefox-chan. Her story is awesome and you can find it under my profile in my favorites. If you do read please vote on the poll she has going on. As for longer, more detailed chapters, I'm trying my damnedest. It will get better, I promise. As she said, I am avoiding the question for the simple fact that I am assuming that some of my readers may have never even seen Naruto, so just a name with no description doesn't give them a proper story.

I'm currently looking for somebody who can translate for me so I can actually name Naruto's bloodline and any techniques that go with it, anybody who can get back to me within a week, two at most, are good.

Stats are made up for Kabuto's part at the end.

"Thoughts"

"Echo"

"Speech"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"DAMMIT!!" Naruto heard the echo in his head as he lay at his apartment, thinking about the chunin exams.

"What now?" Naruto groaned.

"He's just as silent as the other one," the echo screamed, causing Naruto to start rubbing his temples, "At least from Big Red I can get a grunt or a snore, but NOOOOO, the new guy just sits around and does absolutely NOTHING!!"

"At least I don't have to listen to him bitch as well," Naruto yawned.

"Well, at least I still can talk to you!" the echo said, sounding a little giddy.

"Aw shit," Naruto thought.

"I heard that!"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Kabuto sighed as he went over the report on Naruto's tissue. According to the reports he'd received, there were indeed mutations in the brat's DNA that suggested a Bloodline of some form.

What frustrated Kabuto, though, was the lack of recent data of Naruto's condition, mental or physical. The fact that the brat was a Jinchuriki didn't help the matter. It had taken Kabuto almost 3 full weeks of sleepless nights to sort through all the other changes that had happened to the brat as a result of being a demon container.

Kabuto would kill to have a Hyuuga have a look at Naruto to look at recent changes in the brat's chakra flow.

That stopped him. The Hyuuga. A lot of them hate the boy. If he dropped a line to the Hyuuga, with…

"That could work," Kabuto smiled darkly.

He got up. It was time to go see Hiashi.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Two weeks later found Naruto coming out of his favorite Ramen stand about two days later with an extremely satisfied smile on his face.

He wandered along the road, and eventually noticed the "rock" that was following him.

"Konohamaru," Naruto started, "Rocks are not square, nor do they have eyeholes."

An explosion of smoke revealed three kids on their hands and knees having a hacking fit.

"Dammit, Udon, you used too much gunpowder!!" yelled one who had a long blue scarf around his neck and short brown hair.

"I'm sorry, Konohamaru," said the other boy who appeared to have a runny nose, also with short brown hair.

"We'll do better next time!" chimed the one girl of the group, who had orange hair, pulled back in a odd style.

"Yeah, we will Moegi!" Konohamaru got up.

"Hey guys," Naruto smiled at the three children.

"Hey, boss, how are ya…WHOA!" Konohamaru started, "What happened to you boss?!"

"I got injured in my last mission," Naruto told the kids as he smiled at them.

"Boss, that was about a month ago, shouldn't that have healed?" Udon questioned.

"I had it looked at when we got back, something seemed to be messing with my body's healing," Naruto answered.

"Can I see what's underneath the bandages?" Moegi asked.

"Sorry, no."

"That sucks, Boss. Anyway, you agreed to play ninja with us today!" Konohamaru said with excitement.

Naruto smiled while scratching the back of his head, "Did I say that?"

"A ninja playing ninja?" a new voice sounded, "How silly do you get Naruto?"

Naruto turned and saw Sakura, "Hey, Sakura-chan!"

"Hey, Boss! Is this your," Konohamaru stuck out his pinkie, "You know?"

Naruto saw Sakura's glare and started fearing for his life, "No! No, Konohamaru," he answered quickly, waving his hands in front of himself dismissively, "She's just one of my teammates."

"Oh," Konohamaru thought for a moment, "Of course! Even I can see that you wouldn't go out with such a flat-chest!"

"Aw shit" Naruto thought, panicking.

"Aw shit" the echo deadpanned.

"Run like hell Konohamaru," Naruto said urgently as he heard Sakura crack her knuckles.

Seeing the look on Sakura's face, Konohamaru didn't have to be told twice. He took off at a dead run and turned around a corner.

"Oof," was heard from around the corner as Naruto and Sakura ran around the corner after him.

They saw Konohamaru being held up by a kid with kabuki paint on his face and wearing a black body suit with a large white bundle on his back.

"Hey!" Naruto called at him, "Put him down!"

The newcomer looked Naruto up and down, "What are you gonna do? You look like a stiff wind could knock you over."

"Kankuro, put him down we don't want any trouble," a blond kunoichi came up behind him.

"I'm gonna have my fun, Temari," Kankuro said, a sadistic smirk on his face.

The blond just shook her head, "You know how he gets Kankuro."

"Well he's not here right now, is he?" Kankuro raised his fist to strike Konohamaru when a rock sailed out and hit him on the head, causing him to drop Konohamaru.

Sasuke calmly walked out of the treeline with another rock in his hand, "Leave."

"Another wannabe, huh?" Kankuro scoffed as he reached for the bundle on his back.

"Kankuro," Temari said with a warning tone, "You shouldn't bring that out here."

"He's not here, so I'm gonna have a little fun," Kankuro smirked.

"I want to no part of it," Temari started to walk off.

"Kankuro," A new voice rang out, "You are embarrassing our village."

"G-gaara," Kankuro started, his eyes widening, "They started it."

"If you don't stop, I'll kill you," A redhead with black rings around his eyes, a large gourd on his back, and the kanji for "love" on his forehead appeared in a swirl of sand, "Apologize."

Kankuro looked towards Team 7, "I apologize," he said quietly, venom laced in his voice.

"Good," Gaara said, he looked at Sasuke, "Name."

"Uchiha Sasuke," the Uchiha said with a smirk.

Looked at Naruto, "Name."

"Why would you care about that baka," Sakura started.

"I did not speak to you. Speak out of line again and I will kill you," Gaara ground out.

Sakura hushed.

"Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto said, a little hurt by Sakura's comment.

"Sabaku no Gaara," he said monotone, "My siblings behind me are Kankuro and Temari. I look forward to killing you."

"Temari, Kankuro, Come."

"Wait!" Sakura screamed at them, "You aren't Konoha Ninja, what are you doing here?"

"Aren't you bright," Temari started, "We are here for the Chunin Exams."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Wait!" Kabuto started, "There is one other thing."

"Really, Kabuto-kun?" a smooth voice said to Kabuto that sent shivers up his spine.

"Yes," Kabuto said, "The demon brat, Naruto, seems to have a bloodline."

"Really? That is indeed interesting," Kabuto could actually hear the voice smile, "Kabuto-kun?"

"Yes?" Kabuto said.

"Master would like you to team up with the brat sometime during the exam," the voice went a little deeper, "he would like to see the brat's capabilities. With this new information, you could gather information on this supposed bloodline."

"I understand," Kabuto bowed and then left quickly to get to work.

"Kukukuku," the voice laughed darkly, "Konoha has indeed become full of surprises since I've been gone."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Sarutobi took a puff on his pipe. He had sent for the medical records of one Uzumaki Naruto, which happened to be the cause of his current headache.

There had already been a lab test done on the child to see if there was a bloodline. That's not what bothered Sarutobi. Normally the record kept spotless records, and in the past that had proved doubly so in Naruto's case, Sarutobi assumed that that was because they were looking for something to use against his surrogate grandson.

No what bothered him is that the records concerning the lab results were out of order, and they were slightly crumpled, where all the other papers were crisp, without any form of crease or crinkle. Also the results had not been reported directly to him after they had been taken as was typical.

It appeared to Sarutobi as if there was somebody who was interested in Naruto, and that interest, he was sure, was not in the boy's best interest.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Team 7 walked up the steps to the academy, going to take the Chunin Exams. They checked their paperwork, and noted that they had to head to room 307.

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, all a sitting in a row," the echo had been singing almost non-stop in Naruto's head, "Big Ones, Small Ones, Some as big as…"

"I swear to Kami if you keep singing I'll find a way to skin you alive," Naruto grumbled to himself.

"Well, excuse me if I get extremely bored with no one else to talk to," the echo said, "and I haven't even…HEY! I like that one!"

Naruto looked up in time to see the blond of his graduating class latching onto Sasuke, and Sakura was already on her screaming at her.

Naruto looked around the room and saw all sorts of assembled teams from all over.

"Troublesome," another voice said behind Naruto.

Naruto turned to see a kid with black hair tied back into a pony-tail. He was being followed by a redheaded kid eating chips who had red swirls on his cheeks.

"Hey Shikamaru, Hey Chouji," Naruto hailed hailed the two.

"You guys are in too? Troublesome," the black haired boy responded.

"Oh, come on Shikamaru," the redhead responded through the chips he was eating, "Hey Naruto."

"Well, looks like everyone's here," another voice called out.

Everyone looked to see three people approaching, two boys and one girl. One of the boys wore a parka, had brown hair, had red markings along his cheeks, and had a small white and brown dog perched on his head. The other boy had brown hair as well, he wore black sunglasses and a tan trench coat. The girl had pale lavender eyes and short dark hair, obviously a Hyuuga, she had a very heavy coat on.

As soon as the girl saw Naruto she squealed and hid her face as she blushed.

"Man even the dead-last got in?" the one with the dog on his head said, "man, this should be easy. Right, Akamaru?" The dog on his head yipped.

"Ano, K-kiba-kun," the girl stuttered, "I-it's n-n-not nice to talk down on people."

"Just let him be, Hinata," the boy with sunglasses said.

"Hai, S-s-shino-kun," Hinata nodded at him.

Another team walked in brushing past the rookies, all wearing Konoha Hitai-ate. One was a girl who had her hair tied back into two buns. Her other two teammates were unique as well. One of the boys had a bowl-cut, and wore a green spandex suit with orange leg warmers. The other wore a plain garb and had long black hair, who also had lavender eyes, and also obviously a Hyuuga.

"Geez, you guys are being too loud," a familiar voice called out to them.

Naruto turned, "YOU!!"

Kabuto smiled and waved, "Hello, Naruto-kun. Feeling better?"

"You said that it would only sting, you bastard!" Naruto yelled at him.

"Well, you let do the operation, now didn't you?" Kabuto asked as he slid his glasses back up the bridge of his nose.

"Well, yeah," Naruto grinned sheepishly.

"Anyways, you're all new?" Kabuto grinned, "Well, my name is Kabuto, and I can help you all out if you like, this isn't the first time I've taken this exam."

"Is this your second time, Kabuto-san," Sakura asked.

Kabuto's grin grew wider, "Seventh," Sakura blanched.

"How can you help us?" Sasuke asked.

"Straight to the point, you're no fun," Kabuto said with a chuckle, "I've got these cards that have detailed information on most of the genin here that I've gathered on my own, or threw the exam."

"Do you have any information on Sabaku no Gaara?" Sasuke asked.

"Takes the challenge out of it if you know their name," Kabuto pulled out a card, "Sabaku no Gaara, teammates Sabaku no Kakuro, and Sabaku no Temari, 3 B ranked missions, 16 C ranked missions, and no D ranked missions. Rumored to have come back from every mission without a scratch. That's quite a resume. Anybody else?"

The green, spandex clad genin spoke up, "Uchiha Sasuke."

"Uchiha Sasuke, teammates Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto, 1 A ranked mission and 63 D ranked missions."

"That's rude, Lee," the girl with the buns said to her teammate, "you shouldn't get information on ninja from your own village."

A quiet voice rang out, "Uzumaki Naruto."
