Hey everybody I'm back with a new chapter, its a little earlier then normal, so I hope you enjoy. Also, I'm considering starting another story with one of the ideas that's on my profile. I'll start a poll to see if I should start a new story, vote and let me know!
crystal Coronello: thanks for the idea I was actually considering that for later on
Slifer1988: Kushina is not alive in this fic, and the reason that her body wasn't with Minato's was because the crypt was for the kages only. If you'll notice Mito wasn't buried with Hashirama
R-Rated: you'll be happy to know that the pairing is the one you wanted it to be. As for the hint, I'm honestly surprised people couldn't tell what the hint was. I mean come on, Hinata ALWAYS blushes when she looks at Naruto and she's always doing that thing with her fingers
gohan90: ok, first when Naruto went to the festival he didn't kill those civilians it was Fox and by that time, Naruto had mastered Fox so he only needed one or two fingers to control him, and all he'd have to do is twitch his fingers and Fox would attack, making it look like his Anbu guard was just doing his job. second, yes Sakura and the others are children of the civilian council, but even there not stupid enough to talk about Kurama and piss off the hokage, so they did the next best thing telling them to stay away from him. third, okay I might have worded it weirdly, but generally just meant main house member. as for you saying that the only people in the main house are the current head and his family, your wrong. you forgot about the Hyuuga council, and their families, their are a part of the main house in my story. yeah the last part was for comedy relief more for me, from the stress of getting chapter the way i wanted it to go, as for only the fourth being in Shinigami's stomach, just role with it
Chapter 4- Team 7
2 years later
Naruto set in his usual seat in the back of the class, waiting for his sensei to call him for his graduation exam. Over the years Naruto hadn't changed that much physically, other than gaining some more muscle form his training. Naruto now stood even with Sasuke in height; he had on black baggy shinobi pants with multiple pockets for scrolls and weapons. He had a blood red sleeveless shirt on and he wore a cloak similar to his fathers. The difference being his cloak was blood red like his shirt and had black flames licking the bottom of the cloak, along with a symbol in the middle of the cloak. Naruto had designed the symbol himself, it consisted of nine black tomoes arranged in a circle around the kanji for 'Fox.' It was his symbol, his mark as a puppeteer.
They had just finished the written portion of the exam, and Naruto was barely holding in his annoyance. 'Those damn bastards on the civilian council, who do they think they are poking their noses in shinobi affairs. I mean seriously, over half of our score on the graduation exam is a WRITTEN EXAM! My father would weep if he could see the level his village has fallen to,' thought Naruto in disgust. He was brought out of his thoughts by his sensei.
"Naruto Uzumaki, your next," came the voice of Iruka. Naruto made his way into the exam room and noticed that Iruka and Mizuki were sitting behind a desk with a few leaf headbands still on the table. "Ok Naruto, your final exam consists of the Transformation, Substitution and Clone Jutsu's. First show us a transformation," said Iruka. The next thing either chuunin knew was they were staring into the face of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. 'He didn't even use a hand sign, and that transformation is flawless,' thought Iruka as Naruto undid the jutsu. "Ok Naruto, now show us a substitution." Nodding his head, Naruto smirked as he jumped in the air and substituted himself with Mizuki. The end result was Mizuki falling flat on his face with Naruto falling of his new chair laughing, next to him Iruka wasn't fairing any better. Mizuki scowled at Naruto who was still chuckling as he walked back to his spot in front of his sensei's. "Alright Naruto, now the last thing you need to do is create three clones."
"Sensei, does it matter what kind of clone?" asked Naruto, surprising Iruka once again. 'He knows another type of clone jutsu?' was the thought that ran through Iruka's head.
"No it doesn't matter, let's see what you got Naruto," said Iruka. Nodding his head again, Naruto formed a shadow clone, a water clone, a lightning clone, and a wind clone and fire clone all without hand signs. His two sensei's were left gaping like fish out of water, over the years Naruto had received average or a little above average grades in all aspects of his training. Shaking off his shock, Iruka gave Naruto a proud look. "Congratulation Naruto, you pass with flying colors," said Iruka as he handed Naruto a headband. Taking the headband, Naruto tied it securely around his forehead and walked out of the room with his head held high.
'Damn the brat passed, so much for using him to steal the scroll for me,' thought Mizuki bitterly, as watched Naruto leave the testing room. It was a little while after that Iruka stood in front of the class looking proudly around at everyone that graduated.
"Congratulations to everyone who graduated, for those who didn't better luck next year. Now all you should be here in a week to receive your team placements as well as your jounin sensei's. Until then, enjoy your time to rest, because once you start your time as full-fledged shinobi you won't have much time to rest," said Iruka as he watched the class leave to tell their parents of their success.
'A week off huh, might as well test out my kage puppets in that time, cause afterward I won't have any other chance with all the missions I'll have to do,' thought Naruto as he made his way to his apartment building. Once he was inside his apartment, he decided to work on his secret project for the rest of the day and go test the kages out on some bandit camps he got word of.
It was well into the night, that Naruto finally emerged from his apartment/lab and made his way out of the village avoiding detection from the Anbu and making his way to the first of the bandit camps he knew of. When he arrived he unsealed the First and attached his chakra strings to him bringing him to life. With a flick of his wrist, Hashirama charged into the bandit camp going through hand seals as he went. When he reached the middle of the camp Naruto made his move.
"Wood Style: Dense Forest Creation," said Naruto. Suddenly the camp was in chaos as tents were destroyed by trees and bandits were killed by roots and branches. Not wanting to leave anyone alive to spread word of the attack, Naruto walked into the camp with Hashirama at his side. Walking through the camp proved just how strong the First was, hardly any of the bandits were left alive and the ones that were had crippling and maiming injuries. Once he was sure no one was left alive, he sealed the First back into the sealing tattoo on his left arm with the kanji for 'One' on it. Moving to the next bandit camp only helped to prove the power of a kage as Tobirama destroyed his camp with a tidal wave and whirlpool combination. Minato proved a little challenging with his speed, but after a few attempts and personally killing five bandits that saw him, he was able to get the hang of the Fourth's speed.
Now that he had tested his kage puppets, Naruto wanted to test himself. Heading to the last bandit camp he knew of, Naruto prepared himself for an all-out fight. Once he arrived he didn't waste any time and charged straight into the camp. The first few bandits he ran into ended up with snap necks and shattered spines from his strong taijutsu strikes. This camp seemed to be more organized then the others because not a minute after he took out the first couple of bandits, did he have over twenty others charging him weapons ready to kill. 'Time to test a few things I got from that Hyuuga,' thought Naruto activating his Byakugan. Once the bandits were in range to kill him, he made his move. Pushing chakra out of all of his chakra points, Naruto spun on his foot.
"Rotation!" he said as the bandits that tried to attack him were blown away. Taking advantage of their current state, Naruto took out a shuriken and threw it while forming hand signs. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu." The one shuriken became a hundred, and the bandits didn't stand a chance. Moving deeper into the camp, Naruto decided to try some of his newest ninjutsu. Forming hand signs, Naruto decided to honor his ancestors, "Wood Style: Leaf Shuriken Jutsu." Instantly the leafs from the trees surrounding the camp, shot from their places and started slicing and killing any and all bandits in their path. Going through some more hand signs, Naruto prepared one of his favorite jutsu from his granduncle, "Water Style: Tidal Surge Jutsu." A giant wave of water came out of nowhere and crashed into the camp drowning almost half the camp in the process. 'This one's for you dad,' thought Naruto as he prepared one of his father's most prized techniques. Gathering chakra into his right hand, Naruto formed the ultimate jutsu of shape manipulation. Forming a few shadow clones each with the exact same jutsu in hand, each jumping towards one of the few surviving bandits, Naruto slammed the jutsu into the bandits gut muttering one of the most powerful words a shinobi can, "Rasengan."
Once he was sure no bandits were left alive, he started making his way towards the leaf village for some well-deserved sleep.
For the next week, Naruto spent most of his time in his apartment working on his project and sending shadow clones to continue working on his jutsu from the kages. By the end of the week he had mastered most of his granduncles jutsu as well as his grandfathers. His father's jutsu though, he had hardly scratched a percentage of all the jutsu his father knew. And even though he hasn't told anyone about his project, other than Kurama, he should have it ready by the time the Chuunin Exams came around.
He also managed to create another regular puppet during his week off; this one unlike his others was a defensive type of puppet. It had the build of a bodybuilder and wore a dark brown sleeveless shirt and matching pants. On its elbow joints were circular shields that retracted into themselves and could withstand almost any attack. It had similar shields on its knee caps and a larger one on its back. Naruto designed this puppet to be able to withstand any attack and provide shelter in the middle of enemy territory if necessary.
We find Naruto once again sitting in the back of his class for the last time waiting for his team assignment. The class was all doing their usual thing when their sensei's weren't there. Kiba was talking to Akamaru; Shino was sitting silently waiting for their sensei's arrival. Hinata was poking her fingers together in nervousness while glancing at Naruto from the corner of her eyes; Shikamaru was asleep and Choji was swallowing bag after bag of chips. The emo was brooding while starring out at a tree like it would internally combust if he starred long enough. The bastards fan girls were doing what all fan girls do, annoy the hell out of you and squeal with the ideas going through their heads. Naruto was doing his best to keep calm though on the inside he was close to sending Kami and Shinigami to deal with the curse called fan girls.
While all this was going on, the Hokage and all the jounin were in the council chambers deciding on who would be taking what teams.
"Now that teams 1 to 6 have been decided on, team 7 which consist of Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka, and Ino Yamanaka, which jounin would like to have them for their team?" asked the Hokage as he looked out at the crowd of jounin.
"Lord Hokage, I would like to take them under my wing," said Kakashi as he stepped forward, for once not reading his little orange book. The Hokage smiled at Kakashi and was about to grant him his request until a pick-haired banshee interrupted him.
"No, Kakashi you will take Lord Uchiha's and my daughter's team. He will need you to help train him in how to use his Sharingan," said Sayuki Haruno, Sakura's mother, as if it she couldn't be denied.
"No," was all she received from the masked jounin.
"Excuse me?" said a shocked Sayuki; it appears she wasn't expecting to be denied.
"No, I will not train that arrogant emo prick or your banshee of a daughter neither has the skill, nor the attitude to be my students," said Kakashi as he glared at the council woman.
"But Lord Uchiha will need you to train him in how to use his Sharingan!" shouted a random civilian council member.
"He can learn how to use it by himself, that's what I did," said Kakashi as he turned back to his leader.
"I agree Kakashi; you will take young Naruto, Ino and Kiba as your team. As for you civilians, you have no say in the dealings of shinobi and as such do not need to be here for this meeting. The only reason you are here is because many of your children are in this class, so I will allow you to stay and listen in, but if any of you try anything you will be escorted out by the Anbu," said the Hokage in a tone that brokered no argument. "Now moving on to team 8, this consists of Hinata Hyuuga, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. Who would like to take on this team?"
"I will take them as my team, Lord Hokage," said Kurenai as she stepped forward and took her new teams profiles.
"Now that just leaves team 10, the e… I mean Sasuke Uchiha, Shino Aburame and the bans… I mean Sakura Haruno. I'm sorry Asuma, but you're the only jounin sensei left so you will have to take this team," said the Hokage to youngest son with a look of complete understanding and sorrow in his eyes.
"Don't worry about it pops, they'll either follow orders or I'll drop them from the program," said Asuma. The civilian council was about to erupt into protest until the Hokage signaled for the Anbu in the room to show themselves. Needless to the civilians kept their mouths shut.
"I believe that is everything you needed Iruka, you may go give the team assignments," said the Hokage as he looked over at the scarred chuunin who wrote something down on his clipboard then shunshin'd to the academy. Upon arriving, Iruka noticed almost of the girls in class arguing over who would sit beside their 'precious Sasuke.' Sighing at the behavior of the kunoichi in training, Iruka tried to get the classes attention, only to be met with more arguing. Getting annoyed he used his Big Head Jutsu.
"EVERYBODY SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN NOW!" screamed the annoyed chuunin. Everyone who wasn't already sitting down scrambled to get to seat before their sensei got any angrier. "Now that I have your attention, I will announce your new team placements and who your new sensei's are. Team 1 is… Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka and Ino Yamanaka, your sensei is Kakashi Hatake." Before could continue he was interrupted by one of his students.
"Iruka-sensei why am I on a team with the mutt and the dobe? I should be with Sasuke-kun!" screamed Ino as she started mumbling about things being unfair.
"Moving on," said Iruka ignoring the blonde girl, "Team 8 will be Hinata Hyuuga, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi, your sensei is Kurenai Yuuhi. Team 9 is still in circulation so Team 10 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Shino Aburame, your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi." At that point Ino started banging her head on the desk while Sakura pumped her first into the air screaming.
"Take that Ino-pig, true love conquers all!"
"Now that you know who your team mates and jounin sensei are, I wish all of you luck as you continue your career as shinobi of the leaf," said Iruka before he walked out. Most of the new teams moved to sit together and get to know each other better.
"Hey Naruto, you want to grab Ino and eat before our sensei shows up?" asked Kiba as he walked up to the blonde.
"Sure, besides I know our sensei and he is always two hours late for ever…" Naruto got to finish cause at that moment the door opened to reveal none other than the famed copycat himself.
"Team 7 meet me on the roof," but before Kakashi could react he had a kunai to his throat.
"Who are you, and what have you done with Kakashi-sensei?" asked our favorite blonde in a murderous tone. Most of the class was shocked at the display, Naruto who the bastard and his fan girls called a dobe cause he beat Sasuke in a spar once, had moved behind his new sensei and put a kunai to his throat before anyone could blink. His new team mates were just as shocked as everyone else, 'Damn, when did Naruto get so fast? I couldn't even smell a trail, it's almost like he went from one place to another instantaneously! I got to ask him how he got so fast,' thought Kiba as he continued trying to find a scent trail. Ino was doing little better as her jaw was on the desk in front of her, 'Holy shit, maybe I underestimated Naruto, he's fast. I'm glad he's own my team though.' Kakashi however didn't miss a beat.
"I am Kakashi; I decided to show up on time whenever it involves my team and you specifically. If you want another reason why, then it's out of fear of you using those brothers of yours to try and get payback." Now the class was even more shocked, not only had Naruto gotten the drop on a jounin, but his sensei was also afraid of having something of Naruto's used against him. 'What could the dobe have that could make even a jounin fear him?' was the collective thought going through the heads of many of the genin.
"Oh it is you; sorry about that sensei but you can never be too careful," said Naruto as he put his kunai away and stepped in front of his sensei as Kiba and Ino finally got over their shock and moved to stand beside the blonde.
"No harm done, meet me on the roof in five," with that Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke. Grabbing his team mates shoulders before they could move and shunshin'd them up to the roof in a swirl of leaves, once again leaving behind a shocked class. When they all arrived on the roof of the academy, Kakashi motioned for them to take seat in front of him.
"Now why don't we start off by introducing ourselves, I'll go first. My name is Kakashi Hatake, I like a lot of things and I dislike a few things. My hobbies you're not old enough to know and my dream for the future, meh." Two of the new genin were thinking the same thing, 'all we learned was his name!' "Alright how about you with the dog, you next," said Kakashi gesturing towards Kiba.
"My name is Kiba Inuzuka, and this is my partner Akamaru. I like most animals and walking Akamaru, I dislike fan girls and cats. My hobbies are training in my clan style and playing with Akamaru, my dream for the future is to become the head of my clan." Akamaru added in his part in the form of a few barks.
"Alright next, the dumb blonde," said Kakashi pointing at Ino.
"My name is Ino Yamanaka, and I'm not dumb. My likes are Sasuke-kun and flowers, I dislike Forehead girl and people who destroy flowers. My hobbies are watching Sasuke-kun and gardening, and my dream for the future," at this point she blushes crimson and squeals. 'Great a fan girl, well I'll have to break her of that before Naruto or Kiba kill her,' thought Kakashi as he watched his two male students holding their ears in pain.
"And lastly, are other blonde."
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki; my likes are my true friends, my puppets, my parents and ancestors, and training. I dislike fan girls, the emo bastard, and those who can't tell the difference between a kunai and the scroll its sealed in. My hobbies include creating new puppets and training, my dream for the future is to become a shinobi my parents and ancestors would be proud of. And before you dismiss us sensei, I would think it would best if I told them about that." Understanding what Naruto meant, Kakashi decided to allow it. 'This can serve as their test, if the other two can't accept Naruto for who he is or they see him as the Kyuubi, they won't be worth training.'
Kiba and Ino were curious, what could Naruto have to tell them that could be so important. They didn't have to wait long as Naruto began his explanation.
"What do you two know about the Kyuubi attack twelve years ago?" asked Naruto with his eyes closed.
"The Fourth killed it at the cost of his life," said Ino even more confused. It didn't help when Naruto started chuckling at her answer.
"That's a lie; no one not even the Fourth can kill a bijuu. But the Fourth did the next best thing, he sealed it. However he couldn't seal it into an object, the Kyuubi would just break out, and he couldn't seal it into an adult since there chakra coils are already developed and the Kyuubi would have destroyed them from the inside out and escaped. The only thing the Fourth could do was seal it inside of a new born child, that child is me." When Naruto opened his eyes to see their reactions he was tackled into a hug by Ino.
"Oh Naruto, you must have lived a hard life with a burden like that. Now I understand why all the villagers tell their children to stay away from you, but you're not the Kyuubi, your its jailor, the one who keeps the Kyuubi at bay," sobbed Ino as she just latched onto Naruto harder.
"So that explains why you always smelled like a fox. Don't worry Naruto, I'll make sure anyone who tries to harm you because of the Kyuubi pays dearly," growled Kiba as he held his hand out to Naruto. Taking the hand, the two gave one another a nod as a feeling of brotherhood overcame the two.
While all this was going on, Kakashi couldn't help but smile at the scene before. His little brother had just found two more people that cared for him, 'As far as I'm concerned they already pass the test, I'll spar with each of them to see what I have to work with.'
"Alright, now that you two know about Naruto's secret, meet me at training ground seven tomorrow morning at six. I still need to determine what your skills are now. See ya." With that he disappeared in a swirl of leaves to prepare for tomorrow.
"Hey, do you two want to come to my apartment? I think getting know each other better and knowing what each others skills are will make us a more efficient team," said Naruto as he stood up with Ino, who was wiping her tears away.
"Yeah I'm in," said Kiba as Akamaru yipped his agreement.
"Count me in," said Ino, as the three of them made their way to Naruto's apartment.
Once they arrived, Kiba and Ino were surprised to find the lace relatively clean. Leading them over to the living area, Naruto gestured to the chairs around his small coffee table while he set on the couch.
"Ok, first I'll tell you guys what I know about Kakashi-sensei. From what I know he is a ninjutsu specialist by nature, but is also quite skilled at tracking and taijutsu. I don't know much about his genjutsu, other than he prefers to not use it," said Naruto as his team mates nodded their heads every now and then. "Ino, what about you?"
"Ummm, I know the basics of my clans jutsu and I can use the first one. Ummm, I know the academy taijutsu and no genjutsu," said Ino as the two boys looked at her incredulously. "What?"
"That's it, Ino do you ever train outside of the academy?" asked Naruto.
"No, not really," was the reply he got.
"Ino, I'm not going to sugar coat it for you but, you suck," said Naruto in a deadpan. Ino was about to shout at him, but he cut her off, "Listen Ino, what do you do instead of training, when you're at home?"
"Watch my figure with a diet and make sure I look beautiful so I can win over Sasuke-kun of course," she answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Sighing, Naruto knew he had to break her of that now or she would end up getting herself killed in the future.
"Ino, you're a ninja, you don't need to be on a diet cause as ninja's we burn way more calories than we normally would, your only hindering yourself if you stay on a diet. Now Ino, I want you to tell me has the bastard ever actually given you or any of the other fan girls the time of day?" Naruto asked he and Kiba looked to Ino for her response.
She was about to shout that of course he does, until she stopped and actually thought about it. None of her attempts at asking Sasuke out have worked and whenever she tried to start a conversation with him he always ignored her.
"No, I guess he hasn't," said Ino a little depressed.
"Ino the only thing that emo prick thinks about is how can he avenge his clan and get more power," said Kiba as Akamaru walked up to Ino and hopped into her lap trying to cheer her up. Smiling at the dog, Ino petted him and turned to her team mates.
"I guess you're right, he doesn't care about anything else other than power. Ugh I can't believe I wasted my time chasing after him," shouted Ino as she tried to understand why she went after him.
"It's ok Ino, at least now you see the error of your ways and you can focus on your ninja career now," said Kiba as he gave Ino as thumbs up.
"Alright Kiba, what are your skills?" asked Naruto as he thought of a way to help Ino improve.
"I'm good at taijutsu and close range combat; I can use a few of my clans jutsu. Most of the jutsu I know revolve around Akamaru and I working as a team, and I have no genjutsu," said Kiba as Akamaru jumped back over to him and crawled into his jacket.
"Hmmm, alright now for my skills. I am fairly good at genjutsu, as well as taijutsu but my ninjutsu is through the roof. I am quite proficient in the art of sealing, and like me ninjutsu, my skills with my puppets are through the roof. Earlier today when Kakashi-sensei said he would be on time for team meetings for fear of my using my brothers on him, he was referring to my two strongest regular puppets. I can create what is called a human puppet, which is a puppet made from a human corpse, and before you freak out, no I have not gone around killing people just to make them puppets, I only turn those who attack me into puppets," explained Naruto when he saw Ino about to freak and Kiba go wide eyed. Letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding, Ino asked the question both she and Kiba were thinking.
"Could you show us one of your human puppets?" Nodding his head, Naruto removed a scroll from his pack and opened in on the table, unsealing one of his shinobi puppets. Attaching his chakra strings the puppet came to life standing before the three of them. "Whoa, so how many puppets do you have in total?"
"Hmm, I'd say around a hundred or so," said Naruto after thinking it over for a few minutes.
"Alright, well I got to get going before my mom kills me for staying out too late. I'll catch you guys tomorrow for training, see ya." Called Kiba as he and Akamaru left in the direction of the Inuzuka compound.
"Would you like me to walk you home, Ino?" asked Naruto as he resealed his puppet.
"Yeah, I'd like that Naruto," said Ino as she and Naruto left his apartment and made their way down the villages streets. They walked in a comfortable silence until they stopped in front of the Yamanaka Flower Shop. "I'll see you tomorrow Naruto-kun," said Ino as she waved bye to her team mate and went inside. It wasn't until she closed the door, that either of them realized what she said. Naruto despite his tough, dark exterior blushed crimson when he realize what she called him, he began walking back to his apartment a true smile gracing his face for the first time in years. At the same time Ino was fighting down a full body blush as she walked to her room hoping to avoid her parents. Unfortunately her hopes were shattered when she heard her mother's voice.
"Ino honey, dinners ready." Fighting down the blush as best she could, she walked into the dining room and took her seat across from her father. "How was your last day of the academy sweetie?" her mother asked after she placed the rest of dinner on the table.
"It was good, we met our teams and jounin sensei's today," said Ino as she placed a piece of chicken on her plate.
"Princess, I thought you were on another one of those diets of yours?" asked Inoichi as he allowed his hopes to raise slightly that his daughter was finally seeing the error of her ways.
"I was, until one of my team mates helped me realize that as ninja we burn more calories than non-shinobi people," said Ino as she started digging into her dinner with gusto. 'THANK YOU KAMI! MY DAUGHTER IS FINALLY GOING TO TAKE HER LIFE AS KUNOICHI SERIOUS! FORGET MY RULE OF NO BOYS ALLOWED, IF A BOY GOT HER TO REALIZE THIS I'LL GLADLY LET HIM DATE MY DAUGHTER!' screamed chibi Inoichi as he danced around in his head, while on the outside he just smiled at his daughter.
"So tell me princess, who's on your team?" asked Inoichi, 'Not that I don't already know.'
"Oh I have Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka on my team. Naruto-kun was the one who got me to realize that I wasn't taking my career seriously," said Ino not realizing she added the kun to Naruto's name again. And that was big mistake.
"Naruto-kun, when did this happen sweetie? I thought you were after that Uchiha?" asked her mother with a glint in her eyes that promised endless teasing.
"Well… Naruto-kun made me realize that all my attempts to ask Sasuke out haven't worked. And both he and Kiba opened my eyes to what he really is, a self-centered power hungry bastard who only thinks for himself and no one else," said Ino with surprising venom in her voice.
"Well why don't you invite Naruto over sometime, I would like to meet him in person." Both Ino and her mother whirled around to face Inoichi, who had a piece of chicken in his mouth. "What?" he asked with the chicken sticking out of his mouth.
"Who are you and what have you done with my dad/husband!" screamed both Yamanaka women.
"Uhhh, I'm me, nothing's happened," said a thoroughly confused Inoichi.
"You never want me to bring home any guys I meet, unless it's to scare them off. Why do you want to meet Naruto so badly?" asked Ino as she tried to understand what her father was up to.
"Ino, has Naruto told you his secret?" asked Inoichi with a serious face.
"Yes he has, he told both Kiba and I after we met our sensei. I understand the burden he's had to bare and I accept him for him." Inoichi and his wife were surprised with the fire that burned in their daughters eyes when she talked about her fellow blonde. Both parents smiled knowing that they would be getting to know Naruto Uzumaki very well in the coming years.
"Heh, your son has more luck with the ladies then any of us ever did," said Hashirama as he and his fellow kages watched their legacy down on earth.
"Yeah the lucky bastard, I bet that perverted sensei of mine will have a field day trying to get research for his books off of him," laughed Minato as he looked fought to stay upright.
"My only regret is that I died before he published that series it would have been very interesting to see what he wrote," said Tobirama with a slight nosebleed. All three kages broke out laughing at that point and fell down on the cloud they were laughing so hard. That is until they all looked up to see the angry face of the Shinigami staring back at them. "Ummm, Minato what was it you said last time we ran into Shinigami?"
"I think it went something like, GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!" With that all three kages made to run for it only to run straight into each other.
"Now then, time to go back to the stomach you three," said the Shinigami as he moved towards the three spirits.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
There you go guys, hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter might be up sooner than usual, because I have a little more free time now.
Anyway please review, also please vote on my pole and let me know if you think I should go ahead and start another story or finish this one first.
