Ya sorry about that last time, it's just, well, you know I just think they are jealous, because they don't have nine awesome tails in their shadow! :P so ha! Sometimes I don't know why they don't just make an actual show like this, I mean for all these people, their ratings would be really high, sometimes I just don't get business people, at, all.

I don't own naruto, or any aspect of it... yet

Next day at training ground 7...

"OK, sakura-chan, I brought you something!" Naruto said, holding a paper bag out to her

"Ok then naruto, but what is it, wait, I smell eggs, naruto, you know we aren't supposed to eat before this!" Sakura yelled, confused.

"It's ok though, I know what the test is, it's about teamwork, and if you didn't eat, and you failed, you would be really hungry 'cuz he doesn't let you eat anything unless you get a bell of the side of his pants!" Naruto explained to her, glad when she replied to his statement.

"Oh, well... thanks naruto!" She leaned over to kiss him, but he didn't notice, and just kept walking, so she kissed nothing, and almost fell over. She was pissed to say in the least.

"NARUTO, I WAS ABOUT TO KISS YOU, AND YOU JUST KEPT WALKING, YOU BAKA! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO KISS YOU!" She then runs off and hits naruto on the head for it, and then gives him the kiss the both of them wanted.

"Sorry sakura-chan, I just wasn't thinking, I was thinking about my dad." said Naruto in a downcast voice

"Oh, I see..." said sakura, trying to come up with another topic. "Oh look, naruto-kun, kakashi-sensei's not late!" sakura said to naruto, shock present in her voice.

"Now, we will begin the test, you all have to try and get a bell from me... hajime!" kakashi shouted.

"Ok, wait up duck-butt, I know what we have to do, ok? This is a test of teamwork, so we have to work together." Naruto said in a hushed voice, trying to get his team to pass the test.

"Fine, I'll just try and truth that you know what's right this time." Sasuke said, annoyed.

"Now, guys, I think I have a pretty good idea, okay, I'll use one of my jutsus, and distract kakashi while you two get a bell each, when sakura-chan gets hers, we'll share, 'k?" naruto asked, hoping they would agree.

"Ok then!" Sakura/Sasuke said in unison, though sasuke was less enthusiastic about it.

"Fox kit transformation jutsu!" As naruto did the it, he got some ketchup from sakuras egg/hashbrown breakfast, and put it on his ears, and legs to try and make himself look hurt, he also broke a shuriken and held it to himself just for display, then headed over to kakashi.

*rustle rustle* "Who's there? Oh my god, you poor thing, it almost brought kakashi to tears to see a tiny little fox kit like this, the village probably got him, and he thought he could find refuge here, oh, no what's this, my god, they branded it, the poor, poor thing!" said the infamous ninja, getting a bit distracted.

He was so caught up in the "poor fox kit", he didn't notice sasuke and sakura sneaking up behind him only to grab the bells on his vest, and for the fox kit to immediately get up and act like nothing was wrong. NANI? Then the tiny kitsune started to roll around on the ground laughing uncontrollably, until he rolled onto the shuriken, not a good idea, "Hahaha, you actually fell for it! Ah, ouch, oh god that hurts, hey sakura-chan, could you come over and get this shuriken out of my stomach, I don't think it's too good for the seal. narutostated a bit bluntly, not really ccaring about who heard about the seal, how would they know exactly what seal he was talking about.

"Only this could happen to you naruto-baka, well, *sigh* anyway, are you going to stay like that forever, or are we going to get training?" Sakura asked, hopeful that they would learn some new jutsu.

"Oh yeah, right, sorry!" Naruto said, with his literally foxy grin.

"Let's get training then." Kakashi said, in his usually emotionless voice.

the very next day...

"Ok, it is way too hot out to train today, kakashi-sensei, can we go swimming, or something?" Sakura said, wiping the sweat off her brow.

Naruto instantly paled at the thought of swimming, he'd have to take his shirt off, and bandages! This didn't go unnoticed by kakashi, but he thought nothing of it.

"Actually that would be a great idea, sakura-san!" kakashi said.

"Ok then, ikuzo!" Sakura said, heading to konoha's only lake, though surprisingly, nobody was there.

At the lake...

"Woo-hoo!" said sakura as she jumped in, "Come on, naruto, the water's great!" Sakura shouted, waving him over.

"You know my bandages are paper, right sakura-chan? I'd rather not." Naruto said, sadly.

"Oh, but naruto, we are a team, right, and anyone who says anything about it, WILL BE POUNDED INTO THE GROUND BY ME, PERSONALLY! Now come on, and hop in!" Sakura said, protectively.

"Ok, I guess I can't resist that!" said naruto, as he took off his clothes first, to find he was very muscular fo a boy his age, and also, kakashi noticed that brand the fox had on his back wasn't just a prop, it was real.

To everyone's worry, as was to, what exactly was under those bandages you as, but a very puffy tail from being kept in, and fox ears with a few piercings on them which looked as if naruto hadn't consented to them. "Cannon-ball" yelled naruto as a giant ball of fur and tanned skin leaped in. "Well? Wow, you people are the first guys not to freak out at this" naruto stated calmly.

"Well, dobe it wasn't exactly your fault was it?" susuke stated, still trying to act cool.

"But, I want to talk to you about something kakashi-sensei, you don't care, do you, I mean, you look kinda freaked out!" said naruto, worried that his sensei wouldn't accept him.

"Iie, it's ok I just felt a familiar presence." said kakashi, concerned as to why he would feel his sensei's chakra signature.

About 3-400m away from training ground seven:

"Wha- what just happened, I was chasing after some criminals, but then, where am I?" The yondaime extended his sences, and picked up the two people he was chasing after, "I've got them now!" he thought.

Naruto saw some people running, so he said hed be back, went into his kitsune form, and chased after the two thought-to-be-thugs. He quickly tied them up, and waited, a while, listening for what they were running from, and there it was... the yondaime, "Wait, nani?" He couldn't believe it, he was about to meet his father. "Hey, you!" The yondaime turned to see a what seemed to be kitsune talking to him.

He saw the kitsune and the men and quickly approached him, Naruto soon, let his childishness take him over, he quickly ran over to him and asked: "How the hell are you here yondaime, you're supposed to be dead?"

This shocked him beyond belief, he was supposed to be dead? What was this thing thinking? "Hey, where are we?" asked the supposed-to-be-dead hokage.

"We are in training grounds 7." Naruto stated.

"What's your name, ano... boy?" the yondaime asked.

"Actually, theres something you really NEED to know... Namikaze minato, on the day that you died, your wife gave birth to your son, naruto, namikaze, that's my name, tou-san, I'm your son." naruto said, sadly.

At this, naruto returned to his hanyou form, and asked how he got here, upon this, he found out from one of the ninjas, it was a timetraveling jutsu that would have no effect on the future, minato was still there in the past, but when his past self died, so would he, and so, Naruto met his father.
