It was the day of the graduation exams. The son of Vegeta decided to wake up early, not to go to the Academy, but somewhere a little more important to him. He dressed out in something a bit more basic than what he wore yesterday, which was a normal black short sleeved T-shirt with blue jeans and a digital watch strapped to his right wrist. There were also a pair of black sneakers tied to his feet.

After receiving a bit of money from the Hokage the previous day, Trunks took a detour to a local flower shop. He looked to the sign at the top of the store, 'Yamanaka's Flowers', it read in red letters on a purple board.

Seeing no other shops around for variation, Trunks hesitantly stepped into the store. The door set off the jingle of a bell wired at the top of it. The inside of the shop smelled wonderful, with the calming, exotic, sweet smell of lavender, tsubaki, sumire, and even sakura lingering in the air.

He noticed nobody was at the front desk to help him, and was prepared to call out, only for a young feminine voice to beat him to it.

"I'm coming, just hold on one second!" It came from behind a door behind the desk,the sound of objects shifting around and cursing could be heard by the saiyan who stood awkwardly in the center of the store. A young girl scrambled from out of the room, her head lowered into fixing her hair back into the long blonde ponytail that it once was. "Sorry about that, welcome to Yamanaka's Flow-" Her head rose and she gasped when she saw who it was. Out of nervousness, she quickly let out, "Oh, um, hi Trunks." She dusted some of the purple and pink petals that clung to her white apron, trying her best to look presentable even though she was dressed in her work clothes and her face was as red as a cherry.

"Uh hi, wait, do I know you?" Trunks asked puzzledly. He wanted to be polite, but he had no idea who this girl was.

"Y-you don't know me, my name's Ino, Ino Yamanaka. I'm in your class at the Academy." She quickly said. "Was there anything I could help you with?"

"Yeah, I was needing to pick up some flowers for my-, for someone important. I just don't know which ones I should get." He didn't feel it necessary to tell her who he was buying flowers for exactly.

Ino nodded with a smile, "Of course I can help with that." She stepped from behind the counter to lead Trunks outside where they grew the flowers. Trunks didn't exactly notice it, but Ino's face grew darker shades of red the closer she got to him. 'Keep it together Ino, KEEP IT TOGETHER!' She was screaming in her head.

When the two got outside, Trunks was introduced to a yard full of colorful flowers. He wouldn't know which one a woman would like, so he was left rather confused. Though Ino already picked up on this.

The Yamanaka scratched the bottom of her chin in a thinking manner as she looked over the flowers. "Let's see," She walked over to a patch of violet colored ones, and picked them, "Some Sumire," The girl strolled over to a pink patch, "A batch of Momo," She picked them and moved to a purple colored batch, "and some Kosumosu should be perfect!" She bundled the flowers up and held them to Trunks in a way to get his opinion.

"They look great, thanks!"

"Good, now follow me." She brought the saiyan over to the counter where she went back through the door she went through earlier, obviously to wrap the flowers. She came back up to the register, "That'll be...150 ryo." She double-checked the price.

The saiyan reached into his pocket and pulled out the small wad of bills that the Hokage gave him. After counting them he frowned, "I'm sorry, the Hokage only gave me 100 ryo."

Ino shrugged, "It's cool, I'll just take that and take the heat from my parents later."

Trunks hesitated, "Wait, you don't have to-"

The blonde put up her hand to silence him, "I said it's cool, I promise. As if they're going to do anything besides lecture me for 10 minutes." She said jokingly even though it was true.

The saiyan laid the money on the table, "Thanks, I owe you one." He took the flowers and headed out the door.

"See you in class!" She called after him. As he left, Ino sighed dreamily and put her head on her hands. She then grunted angrily, "Damn, I probably could have found another way to make him pay without money." Her being the hopeless romantic that she was, she couldn't help but think she could sucker him into a date somehow.

While Trunks was outside, he looked both ways to make sure no one could see him, before lifting off into the sky.

The demi-saiyan landed in front of the Konoha hospital, taking care to walk through the front doors and into the main hall that held the front desk. The lavender-haired teen strolled over to the desk that was being managed by two women.

One of the women looked up and noticed him, giving the saiyan an extremely off putting frown.

"Excuse me, I was wondering if I could see-"

The nurse rudely cut him off, "Visiting hours aren't until later."

"But I was-"

"I just told you visiting hours aren't until later. Get out."

"Now that's no way to treat a visitor." A silky voice chimed in, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps. Trunks turned behind him and the nurse gasped when she saw who it was. Kakashi. "A boy tries to see his debilitated mother and you have the gall to turn him away? How sad."

The nurse's face turned red from a mixture of embarrassment and a hint of fear. She stuttered, "K-K-Kakashi, I-I didn't mean to- I mean I was jus-"

"I wonder what Lord Hokage's opinion of that would be. Surely it would be of no effort on his part to have you fired, no questions asked."

The nurse quickly waved her hands in an attempt to coax him out of getting her fired, "Oh no, there's no need for that. The room number is 2C, just walk right through." She said with an embarrassed laugh.

Kakashi gave an eye smile, "Thank you." He gave a nod to Trunks to have the saiyan follow after him. With a relieved smile Trunks walked after him.

As the two walked through the halls, Trunks looked up to the older man next to him, "Thanks for helping me out back there, I really appreciate it."

The copy-ninja gave him a side glance, "Don't sweat it, no need to thank me." Trunks nodded. Kakashi changed topics "So, I heard you beat Sasuke on your first day."

The saiyan nodded, "Yeah, everyone makes such a big deal out of it. If I knew he was the strongest in class I would have let him beat me."

Kakashi raised a visible eyebrow, "And why is that?"

Trunks shrugged, "The less attention on me the better."

"Understandable."

The two came up to a door that had '2C' engraved on a tag attached to it. There was a window that allowed easy access view into the room for people in the hall, although the curtains were shut so Trunks couldn't see in.

Kakashi leaned back against the wall in the hall, showing that he was going to let Trunks go in alone. The saiyan turned the doorknob, opening the door quietly as to not wake his mother if she was back conscious. Trunks stepped inside to see his mother in a similar condition to what she was in for the last few days.

Bulma was lying in bed under the covers with a breather still attached to her mouth. Her eyes were still tightly shut and her chest rose with each pulse of the machine supplying her body with oxygen. The woman's long blue hair was out of its ponytail and sprawled around her head.

The demi-saiyan hesitantly walked up to her form, "Hey mom, I got you some flowers." He spoke to her, receiving no response. The saiyan set the flowers inside of a vase that contained a fake flower already inside of it. The vase was conveniently already set near a window with sunlight.

Trunks grabbed a chair and pulled it up next to the bed, sitting down in it, "I figured you would like them, a girl helped me pick them out, and it's not like you got to see that many of them back home." He still didn't get a response, but that didn't stop him from continuing.

"You should really get a look at the place we're at, it's really nice. Sure it's not the same technologically as we had back home, but it's not all bad. And you'll never get this, but this place is full of ninja, and I get to be one too!" Bulma still didn't move a muscle, making Trunks sigh. He looked at his digital watch and noticed it said '7:47' meaning he only had about thirteen minutes to get to class. He stood up, 'Well mom, I hope you wake up soon, so you can try to find out what went wrong with the Time Machine. I have to get to class now, I'll stop by later, love you." He gave her a peck on the cheek before heading out the room.

Upon entering the hallway, Trunks noticed Kakashi was already gone. This made the saiyan question why, but he knew had to get a move on to the academy so he left the building.

As Trunks approached the front door to the Academy, he found things to be a lot similar to how they were yesterday, as in, most students were up out of their seats conversing with one another, some sitting on the tables instead of in their seats, except for a select few, being Naruto (who looked extremely happy by the way), a very timid girl with violet eyes who kept taking nervous glances at Naruto, Sasuke (who was in a rather sour mood for someone who felt they would be graduating), and a boy with small black shades with a high collar jacket who was sitting idly on his own. When Trunks took his first few steps into the class, he found himself even more nervous with the fact that he didn't have Iruka next to him, and the fact that the room went dead silent when he walked in made the situation 10x worse.

The force of about 30 pairs of eyeballs staring right at him made the saiyan want to fly through the roof. Literally. Lucky for him, Iruka and another silver-haired man walked through a door in the room, chatting about something irrelevant to the class.

Iruka cleared his throat, "Alright class, everyone take a seat. You all know what today i-" He turned to see Trunks standing awkwardly by the door, "Ah Trunks, take a seat. No need to be shy, take a seat anywhere you'd like."

That's when Naruto shot up to get Trunks attention, "Hey Trunks, over here, sit here dude!" He was pointing to the seat to the right of him. Most of the class rolled their eyes, thinking the annoying blonde would drive the new kid to stay away from him.

They were surprised to see Trunks smile and happily take the seat next to the class.

Ino and Sakura glared bloody murder at the blonde, 'Damn you Naruto!' They screamed in their heads.

The blonde boy was rather giddy, squirming in his seat, a huge smile plastered on his face, and he found it overall extremely difficult to sit still. Trunks turned to the blonde, obviously concerned about him, "Uh, are you ok Naruto?"

The blonde didn't even turn his way, too happy for his own good, "Ohwhomeyeahneverbetter!" He shot out extremely fast.

Iruka continued, holding up a clipboard, "So, we will now proceed with the final exam. When your name is called, you will advance into the testing room. The final test will be on, The Bunshin Jutsu."

At this Naruto's smile stretched ear-to-ear, quite literally at that. The energy he gave off made it look like he was ready to explode.

Iruka called the first student up, him and Mizuki leading him into the room. As time went by and a few students went, Trunks' turn was up and he was sent into the testing room.

When he walked through the door he noticed that it was a mostly empty room aside from the small desk at the front of the room. At the desk sat Iruka and the other man from earlier. The scarred man motioned the demi-saiyan over, "Trunks, I would like to introduce you to Mizuki, he's a close friend of mine and is another teacher here at the school."

Mizuki smiled at the saiyan and held his hand out, "Nice to meet you Trunks-Kun."

Trunks hesitated for a moment. Something in his instincts didn't sit well with that man's smile. Perhaps it was survival instinct, something he picked up from experiences with bad survivors. That smile was obviously a mask for much malice and ill intent. Though the saiyan knew this. He still took Mizuki's hand and shook it to avoid being rude. "Nice to meet you too Mizuki-san."

'I need to keep an eye out for this guy.'

Iruka continued, leaning back in the chair to make himself comfortable, "Alright Trunks, all you have to do is the technique you showed me yesterday, and you become a genin."

The saiyan, seeing that coming, crossed his arms and squatted, two copies of him split apart in two different ways, before standing up side by side to the original.

Mizuki was impressed, he turned to Iruka, "Wow! I guess you weren't lying about him using Ki, and he even has a technique similar to clone jutsu."

Iruka smirked smugly, "I told you so."

Mizuki turned to Trunks, "So are you able to attack with those clones?"

Trunks nodded, "Sure am, but this is mainly used for training since it divides my power by however many I make."

The silver-haired man nodded, "Well Iruka, I say he passes, do you?"

"Of course. Trunks, come take your headband. You are now a genin of Konohagakure."

Trunks smiled, and took his headband, which was the same cloth that other shinobi wore with a silver plate at the front, a design of the leaf symbol etched in the metal. The saiyan gave a respectful bow, "Thank you Iruka-sensei."

The scarred man waved him off, "Don't sweat it Trunks, it was a pleasure having you. Although our time together was short I must admit!" Iruka laughed.

Trunks went back to the classroom to wait out the rest of the tests. He noticed a pink-haired girl kept ogling at him whenever he turned his back. The saiyan didn't know whether to feel uncomfortable, offended, or even flattered at the attention, so he settled on ignoring it. He took the headband, considering tying it around his head where it belonged, but instead tied it around his right bicep.

More and more students began finishing their exams, almost pushing Naruto to the brink of a suspense related coma.

"Naruto, you're up." Iruka called.

An explosion of joy erupted from the blonde who almost hit the ceiling of the room. "Woohoo! It's about time!" Naruto ran into the testing room in an orange blur.

'G-Good luck Naruto-kun.' Hinata wished with a small smile.

The blonde stood in front of his sensei and Mizuki, a look of utmost confidence clear on his features.

"Alright Naruto, you know the drill. Make at least two functional clones and you pass."

"Actually Iruka-Sensei, I couldn't learn the Bunshin Jutsu, but I found an even better Jutsu that you'll have to pass me for knowing!"

Iruka shook his head disappointedly, "Naruto you know you can't just,"

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Iruka and Mizuki's eyes widened at the sight of over ten clones filling the space behind Naruto, all with the blondes boys signature grin splitting their cheeks.

The two chunin gaped with open mouths over the Uzumaki's work. Iruka managed to stutter out, "N-Naruto, h-how did you manage to-, you listened in on my conversation with Trunks yesterday, didn't you!" Anger was present in the man's voice, completed with veins popping up around his forehead.

Naruto scratched the back of his head accompanied with a nervous laugh, "Heheh, yeah. What can I say I couldn't help myself."

Iruka let out a sigh, before he smiled, "Well Naruto, you managed to perform a jutsu above your skill level, I think it's undeniable that you've earned this headband. Congratulations!" The blondes blue eyes widened in a mixture of overjoy and a hint of disbelief. Tears built up in the blondes eyes as he dispersed the jutsu, and took his first steps towards the table. He stopped when Mizuki spoke up.

"W-wait a minute Iruka, he didn't actually do the jutsu that he was assigned, meaning he didn't fulfill the requirements to pass the test." Naruto's face became downcast, and his world felt as if it would come crashing down. Was there no hope left for him?

Iruka gave the man a deadpan look, "Seriously Mizuki, Naruto learned a jutsu that was high Chunin level and beyond. And on top of that he made ten shadow clones which is unheard of! If anyone deserves to pass, it's him." Naruto's spirit came right back up.

Mizuki nodded as Naruto took a headband. He was calm on the outside, but on the inside he was furious. 'Damn it! Now my plans ruined. No, actually, I can still work this to my advantage somehow.' He managed to tell himself.

The students were all outside, showing off their headbands to their parents and friends. Naruto got the headband part, but he still found himself on the swingset outside of the academy, alone. He was one step closer to his dream, but he had no one to celebrate that with. Nobody cared.

Trunks struggled to push through the crowd of people who were gathered right in front of the academy door. Actually, it wasn't so much struggling to get through them that was the issue, it was struggling to get through without pushing someone into the ground. When he got through the crowd the saiyan noticed the Naruto sitting on the swingset all by himself. The saiyan wondered why, seeing as the blonde was so friendly he had to be well liked. Right?

Naruto looked up to see Trunks standing in front of him. The blonde also took notice of Trunks headband on his arm, "Oh, hey Trunks. I guess it's not surprising Iruka-sensei let you pass, huh."

Trunks nodded and shrugged, "Yeah, there was nothing to it. To be honest if becoming a ninja is this easy I could have made it when I was six."

Naruto scoffed, "It only took me three tries." He mumbled.

"What?" Trunks asked even though he head the blonde clearly.

Naruto quickly waved him off, "Nothing. Forget I said that." He changed the subject to something along the lines of general chatter.

Two girls scowled at the boys from a distance. "Hmph, it's those two. Looks like they actually managed to graduate." One of the girls voiced.

The other girl shook her head, "What were they thinking making them ninjas. I mean, that's the kid from...that night, and the other kids the nine-"

"Shut up! We're not supposed to speak of that remember."

The boys conversation managed to steer towards Naruto's dream, "And when I do become Hokage, everyone in this village is gonna look up to me. They're gonna acknowledge and respect me for who I am." The blonde said as he adjusted his headband around his forehead.

Trunks knew that Hokage was an important position, but he didn't know how much it could mean to people. Though, something the blonde said about his past did unsettle the saiyan, "But did you ever learn why they treat you the way they do in the first place?"

Naruto flinched before his head lowered. "I don't know. They've treated me like garbage my entire, life. I never did anything to'em." A grin slowly crossed his features, barely visible to Trunks through the shadow of Naruto's face. "But that's just gonna make it all the sweeter when I become Hokage."

The saiyan couldn't lie, the kid had determination; and a way with words to boot. Something about the way he talked just made you want to take his side and believe in him, which Trunks did. A beeping came from the Brief boy's watch. When he looked at it he saw the yellow numbers said '5:20'. He turned around, "Well Naruto, I need to go see my mom. I'll catch you later ok."

"See you later Trunks!" The saiyan walked off with a wave. Naruto sighed before feeling someone's presence again near him, he looked up to see Mizuki perched up on the tree branch next to him.

The two were sitting on top of a building roof that gave a decent view of the village.

"So, Naruto, tell me, what's your goal as a shinobi? What drive's you to be one?" Mizuki asked the blonde sitting next to him.

"My goal...is to be Hokage. That way everyone will respect and look up to me."

Mizuki raised an eyebrow, "Hokage huh? That's a pretty big goal, but one worth aspiring after. But you know, to be Hokage you have to know an insane amount of jutsu, and be the strongest person within the village."

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I know. But that's why I'm never gonna stop training and getting stronger. Nothing's gonna hold me back!"

Mizuki chuckled, "I love your spirit Naruto, and that's why I want to help you achieve your dream."

"Really?" Naruto's eyes brightened.

"Yep. And I know just the way for you to do it."

The saiyan was once again in the hospital, making his way to Bulma's room. Angry glares were cast his way every which way he looked as he walked. One man who was walking with crutches and with bandages covering up his face, arms, and torso cast a particularly nasty glare at the son of Vegeta. It was obvious why.

Trunks could understand the people's anger towards him, seeing as they got injured in his arrival. Seriously injured. But it's not like it was his intention for that to happen.

As he turned the knob to Bulma's door, he froze as he overheard two shinobi's conversation in the hallway.

"Hey, what is it Kokoro?"

"It's Naruto, he's just stolen the scroll of sealing!"

"What!?"

"Yeah, Lord Hokage's just put out a mass search for him."

"Damn, let's go!"

The ninja's scurried out of the building.

'Naruto? Steal?' Trunks already knew the blonde was a bit of a troublemaker, but he shouldn't have gone this far. He better get out there and stop him before he got himself in irredeemably big trouble.

XXX

The demi-saiyan hovered in the skies above Konoha, feeling out for Naruto's energy. It was just his luck that he felt for it during the spars the other day or he wouldn't have had anything to go on. Trunks sensed his friend's Ki out in the forests. Along with Iruka's and Mizuki's...the latter of whom was giving off an extremely foul and hostile Ki.

Trunks cursed, "I knew there was something off about that guy!" He hurriedly blasted off in the direction of their energy.

"Time to die Naruto!" Mizuki shouted as he threw his giant shuriken at Naruto who scrambled away for his life. Like the blades of a helicopter the blades chopped through the air at a speed and velocity that would split Naruto in half if it connected.

Iruka was pinned and injured against a tree by a surprise kunai barrage, "NARUTO GET DOWN!" Iruka screamed.

The blonde hit the deck bracing himself for the end to come.

A yellow ball of light smashed into the shuriken, deflecting it and sending it off to the trees in a flurry of sparks.

'What?!' was the collective thoughts of the spectators. They didn't expect to see a familiar lavender haired saiyan to down gracefully in front of Naruto, making Mizuki grin.

"Ah, Trunks-kun. I wouldn't have expected to see you pop up out of...nowhere. But then again it seems you have a knack for that, don't you?"

The demi-saiyan shrugged, "I suppose that's true. But what's going on here? I get the feeling that I'm intruding on something big." His voice dripping with obvious sarcasm.

"Well, now that you mention it, I was just getting rid of the village wretch."

Trunks raised an eyebrow, "Seems a little harsh for someone who's only pulled a few pranks."

Mizuki shook his head with a smirk, "Oh no Trunks, it's a bit more than that. You see the kid standing behind you is literally a monster."

Naruto's face twisted from the mentioning of that word. Iruka growled, "Mizuki stop it."

The man shrugged innocently, "What? I'm just saying it how it is. But Trunks, considering you're new to this village I think you should learn a bit of history. You should listen to this too Naruto."

Iruka shouted, "Mizuki don't!

Mizuki ignored him, "Twelve years ago there was a beast that attacked the hidden leaf village. This beast was known as the Nine Tailed Fox. The demon was too powerful for even the 4th Hokage to stop. So he only had one choice. To Seal it into the body of a newborn baby." Naruto's eyes widened with realization. "And that baby-" Mizuki continued.

"Was Naruto." Trunks finished. His expression was stoic.

Naruto stared at the ground in disbelief. "No...No…"

"So don't you get it now Naruto. You're the nine tailed fox demon that nearly destroyed our village and killed Iruka's parents!" Mizuki then looked to Trunks. "And don't you get it Trunks. This is why that little monster needs to die." Trunks took a glance back at Naruto, who looked ready to cross a despair related breakdown, before turning back to Mizuki.

"That's it? He's a monster because of that? If you ask me, he's doing you all a pretty big favor carrying around something like that." Trunks narrowed his eyes, "And between you and me, if that's what you people call a monster, then I would hate for you to meet demons." The faces of Androids #17 and #18 flashed through his eyes.

Mizuki growled and pulled his last remaining shuriken, "Don't you talk down on me you little punk!" He threw the blade that shot straight for the demi-saiyan, who didn't look the slightest bit fazed.

"Trunks, get down!" Iruka yelled as he struggled to pick himself up from his position. His body was too badly injured from Mizuki's attack. But if he didn't get in there, Trunks was done for.

The shuriken went from horizontal to vertical in its travel making Trunks smirk and pivot on his right leg, effortlessly twisting his body to dodge the shuriken that sailed harmlessly by.

Iruka and Naruto gasped. Mizuki growled, 'How the hell did that bastard just-!' He vigorously shook his head before pulling two kunai from his holster, leaping from the tree and charging at Trunks.

The saiyan fazed out from Mizuki's view, before appearing in front of him and putting his fist so far deep into the man's stomach one could see the bulge on the other side.

Mizuki spit up a mouth full of blood and bile and was sent flying in the opposite direction, skidding along the forest floor as he landed.

Trunks held his hand out at Mizuki, charging his ki as the man began to stand back up.

"Trunks wait!" Naruto got up next to the saiyan, stopping his attack. Trunks gave the blonde a questionable look in response.

"I wanna test out the jutsu I learned from the scroll. You mind?"

Trunks took a few steps back, "Go for it."

Iruka was also curious as to what the blonde was planning. Was he really capable of learning a jutsu from the scroll of sealing? A scroll that contained high chunin level jutsu and beyond? Actually, now that he thought about it, he did already learn Shadow Clone Jutsu. What else was he capable of?

Naruto's hands shifted through handsigns, before he took a deep breath, "Wind Release: Air Bullets!" A dozen pocket sized balls of wind fired from Naruto's mouth and shot at Mizuki who was just climbing to back his feet.

'WHAT THE HELL!?' He screamed before the balls each slammed into him. Not only did each ball possess enough force to hit him with the strength of ten men, but they would shred the cloth on his clothes as well. The first ball knocked him off his feet, but he kept getting blasted with each ball one after the other which sent him like a train into the nearest tree, cracking the bark and making him slide to the ground in a heap.

Iruka's mouth was hanging open in a broken fashion, 'I-Impossible! That's a Jonin level technique at least and he learned it in a few hours!?'

"That was cool!" Trunks told Naruto who scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Hehe, to be honest I think I overdid it a little." The jinchuuriki took in Mizuki's condition. He had large cuts and bruises all over the visible flesh on his body, and most of his clothes were shredded. He wasn't 100% unconscious though, surprisingly.

Iruka chuckled, "Well Naruto, as always you never fail to surprise me. You've learned jutsu that's well out of your ninja rank, in only a few hours at that!"

"Thanks Iruka-sensei, but is it true? Am I...really a monster?"

Trunks cut in, "No, you're not. You hold the burden of carrying a monster that could destroy your village. If anything, that makes you a hero in my book."

"Trunks is right," Iruka nodded, "Despite what anyone else says you're not the Kyuubi, you're its jailer. You keep that monster from coming out and destroying us all, thus doing a greater service to the village than any shinobi could."

Naruto blushed as a smile slipped across his face. Groans came from Mizuki as he twitched and spasmed in his spot. Naruto's brow furrowed as he turned to Iruka, "So what are we gonna do about hi-"

Trunks' hand flashed up and blasted a Ki blast at Mizuki, the blast connecting and erupting in a shockwave and explosion, making Naruto and Iruka shield their eyes from the rocks and dust.

Iruka shakily moved his arms from his eyes as the explosion died down, "T-Trunks, what did you..." He looked to see a crater and a small bit of black ash where Mizuki once was. The tree and some of the land behind him was wiped out as well.

Naruto was horrified, "Trunks, why?"

"He was evil. It didn't make much sense to leave him alive. If you arrested him, he could've tried something later on." Trunks rationalized.

"It's still the job of a grown up to handle these situations, Trunks. It wasn't your call when he was already incapacitated." Iruka said as he glanced at the demi-saiyan.

Trunks jerked, "Y-you're right, I'm sorry Iruka."

The scarred chunin sighed before taking another glance at the scarred earth that Mizuki became apart of, "Well, he was a traitor to the village, so he was more than likely going to be executed anyway. Don't let it eat you up Trunks." He changed the subject, "So, I think, how about we return this scroll, and I treat you boys to some ramen?"

Naruto's face brightened, "Sounds like a great idea to me! What about you Trunks?" It was then that the saiyans stomach growled, making him blush and let out a nervous laugh, "I'll take that as a yes! Let's go Iruka-sensei!"

The hyperactive blonde ran off through the forest, making Iruka let out a, "Hey wait up Naruto!" Before he was chased by the chunin and Trunks.

Hiruzen was sitting in his office, having watched the entire incident from within his office from his crystal ball. He chuckled, "Well done boys. Well done."

An anbu rushed into his office, "Lord Hokage, we still can't find Naruto!"

The Hokage waved a dismissive hand, "Call off the search. Everything is going to be fine." Hiruzen then voiced in his head, 'Now I should get a search party into the woods to clean up Mizuki's remains. But I do wonder, just what could that boy have gone through to give him such a do or die attitude, yet be so kind hearted towards others?" Hiruzen would have to find out more about the boys past. And also get him assigned to a jounin. He would take care of that tomorrow.

A/N: Alright I'm ending the chapter here. Now, I decided to have Naruto learn shadow clone jutsu early, that way he could use the scroll of sealing to learn another jutsu. I figured Air Bullets would be a good one but I wasn't even sure if that jutsu would be in the scroll of sealing. Oh well, what's done is done.

I also expect some of you to be surprised that Trunks just blasted Mizuki in cold blood, but you have to understand, Trunks is NOT Goku or Gohan. When it comes to evil doers he is MUCH more pragmatic. Meaning you can expect him to be less a lot less merciful towards the bad guys in this fic.

Anyways, that is all I have to say for this A/N, please Review and Follow if you enjoy this fic!
