Time flew by for Naruto as he lived happily in the land of whirlpool. He no longer was the idiot he once was. Now he had come a long way in every possible way including social skills. Him and Haku have gotten closer and when not training are usually seen together. He now was standing at 6 ft tall and weighed around 145 lbs. His cloths were now a pair of black jounin style pants with 4 holsters, a blue ANBU style vest loaded with scrolls and a pair of leather gloves with a metal spike plates across the knuckles along with his sword across his back except now it had a kitsune standing proudly on it with a crown on its head. Across his face he wore a facemask like Kakashi but it had the picture of a fox mouth ready to attack.

Haku herself had also increased in skills, the training she went through forced her mind and body to become the body of a perfect assassin, agile, swift, deadly, and her beauty was unmatched by nearly all. She now wore a blue pair of chunnin pants with 3 holsters and a red chinese shirt similar to Tenten but she also had a chunnin style vest but on the back she had a vixen. On her hips she had a pair of sais.

Zabuza himself had become a trusted member of the dragon knights and as Naruto personal body guard his skills showed just how strong he was. He now had a news sword that looked just like his old one but it was red and had a blue water dragon on it. Besides that his cloths were the same as before but now he had a cloak that was black and had the official symbol of whirlpool with a dragon and a kitsune circling each other but the kitsune had a crown on its head.

As for the final member of the team, Trinity, she had become the best of friends to Haku and Naruto. She was a trusted advisor and confidant when the need arises. She was now dressed like similar to Haku as her pants were black as was her shirt but on her back there was a red dragon breathing black flames. She had a bo-staff across her back.

Sadly for the team all good things had to come to an end and it was time to return to Konoha.

As they walked toward the gates of Konoha and Haku was holding Naruto hand and said "So are you ready for this."

Naruto snorts and said "If I wasn't ready for this its to late now. Besides I think our team is the best we could be."

Trinity said "Don't let you ego or pride blind you Naruto-sama."

Naruto sighed and said "Its nots pride or ego. I just have faith in our skills. I mean we each have improved ourselves to the point I feel that nothing short of a team of jounins could actually hurt us however I am not going to believe that we are unbeatable. I think Zabuza final lesson should point that out."

Zabuza chuckled and said "Hey, Its not my fault the entire 12 dragon knights decided to test you 3 all at once."

Naruto winced and said "Don't remind me, the only time I ever got my ass kicked worse then that was when Kakashi did the 1000 years of death on me."

Haku smirked and said "But it was so much fun playing doctor afterwards, wasn't it Naruto-kun."

Naruto sighed and said "Ero-hime. Your just saying that because you had to rub the burn cream across my body from that final combined attack."

Trinity said "It was your own fault for threating to freeze my fathers balls off and you know it Naruto-sama." with a smirk.

Naruto sighed and said "I did not know it was an insult to a fire dragon to talk about freezing anything off. Had I known I would have done it first and ran later." with his own smirk.

Trinity sighed and said "You still have alot to learn Naruto-sama."

Naruto nods and said "Thats why I value you council Trinity."

Haku smiled and said "Well theres the gates."

Naruto smirked and said "Lets go." as he lead the team toward the gates.

The chunnin gaurds at the gate looked at the 3 aproaching people and said "Halt, state you name and reason for comming to Konoha."

Naruto smirked and said "smt Tse sj slkk s itws" causing all 3 of the people with him to laugh.

The chunnin said "What was that."

Naruto sighed and said "Im Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, and this is my team from whirlpool. We came here to take the chunnin exams.

The gaurds went wide eyed and said "Right Namikaze-sama, please go on it. The Hokage wanted to see you when you arrived."

Naruto nods and walks into the village with his team and Haku giggled and said "You just had to say that didn't you Naruto-kun."

Naruto said "What. I told the truth. Ive got to take a piss." as he walked toward the Hokage tower.

Zabuza said "You know, there are times I wonder if hes serious or not." as they continued to walk.

Inside the Hokage tower the third was in a meeting and said "So let me here who you nominate for the chunnin exams."

Kurenai stepped forward and said "I nominate team 8."

Asuma said "I nominate team 10."

Gai said "I nominate team 9."

Kakashi frowns and asked "Is there any word on Naruto."

The third said "No."

Kakashi nods and said "I nominate team 7."

Just then a knock was heard on the door and the third said "Enter."

The door opened and everyone looked as 4 people walked in and Kakashi quickly pulled out a kunai shocking everyone only to recieve a fist in the gut from Naruto making everyone wide eyed because no one saw him move.

Naruto said "Now Kakashi-teme, mind explaining why you threatened me and my team when we walked in the door with your weapons." in a commanding and cold voice.

Kakashi was gasping for breath as he looked at the person whose fist was in his gut and he said "How." as he fell to his knees.

The third said "Who are you and why have to attacked one of my jounins."

Naruto stepped back and reached for his facemask and pulled it down and said "Team Whirlpool reporting for the chunnin exams."

Trinity said "Smooth my prince, you just floored a jounin." as she shook her head with her hand on her face.

Naruto said "Considering his actions could have been considered an act of war I say he got off easy." as he pulled his mask back up.

The third said "So I see you have returned Naruto."

Naruto nods and said "Yes, allow me to introduce my team, this is trinity, Haku, and Zabuza."

The third frowned and said "Zabuza Momochi. I thought you died."

Zabuza said "I did." with a smirk.

Kakashi who was standing up and said "And you, I put a chidori through your heart."

Haku said "Yeah and it hurts like hell."

The third said "Ok Naruto, how exactly are 2 dead shinobi alive here."

Naruto shrugged and said "Sorry, secret of the royal family of whirlpool."

Kakashi frowned and started to say something when Naruto ignored him and said "So what do we need to do to get register. We had a long trip back and a little tired."

The third said "Right, Your apartment has been..."

Naruto said "We will find our own place to stay then. My so called apartment wasn't big enough for 2 people so 4 wont be able to fit."

The third frowned and said "I see, well then please take these forms and goto room 301 tomorrow at noon."

Naruto took the forms and handed them to his teammates as he formed an ice mirror and stepped in and disappeared. Haku did the same. Zabuza disappeared in a swirl of water and Trinity disappeared in a swirl of black flames.

After they were gone the third frowned and looked at the faces of everyone there in his office and said "What just happened does not leave this office. Kakashi, I want you to follow them and try to find out what has happened to Naruto to change him so much. Also try and find out how 2 deceased people are back in the land of the living. I want answers."

Kakashi nods still holding his stomach and leaves in a swirl of leaves.

Iruka who was in the office thought "what has happened to you Naruto."

Naruto and his team were walking toward a hotel when Naruto stopped and said "So do you think they fell for it."

Trinity said "Yes. Kakashi is already following us."

Naruto nods and said "Good, we have to warn Konoha about it." as he went toward the Green leaf hotel.

Kakashi followed by rooftops and saw them go into the hotel. He waited a few moments until he saw Zabuza walk out on a balcony and then after a few moments walked back inside.

Kakashi jumped to where the balcony was and put his back to the wall channeling chakra to his ears until he felt a kunai on his neck and he turned and saw Zabuza standing there and he said "Come inside, we need to talk." as he pulled the kunai away.

Kakashi frowns and follows Zabuza inside and saw Naruto, Haku, Trinity, all sitting down and he asked "So how did you get the drop on me."

Naruto said "I was henged into Zabuza and he henged into a kunai that I dropped on the balcony. We knew you would be sent to follow us having faced most of us before so we needed a way to talk to you out of the Hokage office."

Kakashi frowned and asked "Why."

Naruto said "War."

Kakashi raised an eyebrow and asked "What do you mean."

Naruto sighed and said "Trinity if you would."

Trinity nods and said "Once we heard about the organization known as Akatsuki were going to be coming after the prince here, his majesty sent out spies to each of the villages looking for information. While they did not find much on that group they did find a threat that could harm the prince. It looks as if Orochimaru is planning an attack on the leaf village durring the chunnin exams with the aid of Suna."

Kakashi went wide eyed and asked "So why not tell the Hokage."

Naruto said "We can't. Orochimaru has several spies in the village including an entire gennin team. We don't know who but since most of the teams were there odds are that one of the sensei that was there works for Orochimaru. We made it look like I still hate your guts so that way perhaps Orochimaru will come to us offering me a chance for revenge so we can get more info."

Kakashi frowns and said "I see, was that the only reason you punched me."

Naruto said "No, killing my fiance, abandoning me and being an ass was a good reason for me to punch you. To do it for a responsible reason was a bonus." with a smile.

Kakashi sighs and said "Look Naruto I..."

Naruto held his hand up and said "Its over Kakashi, you didn't give a shit about me back then so forget it. Im not the same idiot I was back then and I don't take anyones shit. Those who abandon thier teammates are worse then trash. I guess hoping your teammate gets killed from neglect falls into that category. I wonder if Sakura is still alive or if your favoritism has gotten her killed. I sure hope you got your favorite student ready for the exams because if I face him his life in this village is over. Tell him I know the Uchiha Clan secret and I will reveal it to everyone. When I do this village will turn on him like they did me. Now I grow tired of you so please leave." in a calm commanding voice.

Kakashi frowned and left in a swirl of leaves.

Haku looked at Naruto and asked "Do you feel better now."

Naruto said "Actually, yes."

Zabuza shook his head and said "Well you basically just busted his balls."

Naruto shrugged and said "You already saw what he was like to me so I know you understand. I know its not very royal of me to act like that but every time I see his face I remember him telling me he couldn't teach me anything because he did not want to over power the team and when I asked why Sasuke got special treatment he looked at me like I was stupid."

Trinity frowned and said "Remember your promise Naruto-sama."

Naruto nods and said "I know, I will give them a clean slate after the finals but until then hehehehe."

Kakashi appeared in the Hokage office and the third raised an eyebrow and said "That was fast."

Kakashi then proceeded to tell the third what he was told and the third said "Very well. I trust you not to tell anyone else and I will deal with this information. Thank you for bringing it to me."

Kakashi nods and after he leaves the third thought "this is bad, with the trouble with whirlpool and Orochimaru showing up. I need to have ANBU keep an eye on the whirlpool team for thier safety."
