Here's to an idiot who thought I stole someone's idea he read my story a couple of months ago and didn't realize it was me. Leaving me a private message saying I plagiarized another story. Well Sherlock the story is mine, I wrote the story back in "09" . Next time I hope he does a little research before insulting someone. So I left the idiot some proof after he read every chapter before insulting me on private message. Here's the proof the story is already finished I'm just trying to correct the grammar and spelling. This was my very first fanfic and I thought I failed very miserably at it, so I tried to go over and fix it. I hope everyone will enjoy it.

As Naruto sat with his students he looked at them with great pride that they were going to be great ninjas.

"So teach what are we going to do tomorrow" said Venus?

"Man Venus why don't you let up sometimes we just had a rough exam and we can't enjoy a good meal without you bringing up something that could upset our digestive system" said Shigeru.

"Well I have to train you a little more we might have a real mission next month or sooner so you better all train hard I expect your very best" said Naruto.

"Will you train us to do some jutsu that can help us out in the mission" said Shinju?

"How about that clone thingy that you did that you made of yourself said Shigeru?

Venus just look at Naruto, "what about that chakra we felt can we learn that from you, it felt like it could level a house when you did that" said Venus?

Naruto looked at her, "you felt my chakra? What did it feel like to you?"

"I could tell it was like you had two but somehow both were powerful but the other one it felt unnatural like not from this world" said Venus.

"She is a natural chakra sensor type, she actually can tell the difference between the Nine Tails and my own" thought Naruto.

"Well I can't show you that one it's a special ability, we have to find each and everyone's special ability and skill in our group" said Naruto.

"By the way I haven't told you our squad's number have I" said Naruto?

"No" said Shinji what is it?

"We are officially called Squad 9" as Naruto chuckled a little.

"What's so funny" as they all looked at him?

"I will tell you some day when your older, it's getting late I will take you to the academy so your parents can pick you up" said Naruto.

On the way out Venus looked at Naruto and decided to ask him a question, "Uzumaki-sensei I was wondering why you didn't eat at the restaurant?"

"I love to eat at Ichiraku's Noodle Shop" said Naruto.

"One more question sensei I read up on you, you're a jonin but they said you're the last Sage of the Mountain Toads, that's a big honor. I heard that there was only three that ever been called that so why did you decided to just be a jonin" said Venus?

"Well I did it for my sensei; I wanted to go through the proper steps to be a Hokage not a short cut. I wanted to work hard just like my friends did to prove myself I got what it takes. I learn the Sage techniques to avenge my teacher an after I defeated the one who killed him, I started back down the path he showed me, protect the village and it people" said Naruto.

Venus looked at him and wondered that he could be Hokage now, why doesn't he just apply for it and become the leader of the village?

"Well were here at the school I will wait with you, until your parents arrives" said Naruto.

Venus looked scared "you don't have to wait I can go home myself she said."

"No said Naruto I have much to discuss so be patient with me okay Venus" she looked at the ground.

"Okay sensei" she said.

As Shinji and Shigeru parents came, Naruto had a long talk with both parents and discuss possible special training for what skills they had to benefit themselves. The parents seem a little upset but after Naruto told them they could excel at that skill it seem to ease their concern quite a bit. Venus looked at Shinji and Shigeru parents talking to her sensei she was wondering how proud their parents must be, she began to cry softly, when Naruto returned she wiped her tears away and smiled at him.

"Where are your parents said Naruto, are they running late?"

Venus looked at her sensei "I don't have anyone to come get me I'm all alone, I stay at the orphanage home downtown sensei" she said as she began to cry again.

Naruto seen her eyes, it was his eyes when he was that age, lonely, frighten sad.

Naruto smiled at her" well I will walk you home then" said Naruto.

"But why? Didn't you want to eat some ramen" she said?

"That's okay I will stop later and get some, I can work up an appetite walking you home" smiled Naruto as he seen the young girls face light up.

"Venus smiled back thank you sensei" she said.

"No problem, on the way we can get to know each other better were comrades now" said Naruto.

As Naruto and Venus walked, Venus began to talk about her life.

"Well she said, I never knew my real parents at all I was found by one of the Konoha ninja, I had no way of telling who my parents were. They were found dead on the side of the road I heard. They were dressed in very poor clothing but no one could describe what village they resemble I didn't even have a name they said. When I was brought here they said everybody loved me that's how I got the name Venus from some western folklore I heard. The ninja who found me gave me his last name "Ochaya" so I have no history at all" she said.

"That is why you want to be the greatest" said Naruto?

"Yes she said. No one wanted me at all; I have been at that orphanage so long I feel like the walls are closing in. I don't even know my real age they said 12 but I'm pretty short to be 12. I hate that I'm alone it's like trying to escape from a round dark room with no exits; loneliness is my only company" she said.

Naruto looked at her and realized those were his exact words to the letter when he was that age.

"I'm an orphan too said Naruto, I know the feeling you want to be recognized for you, you want to be seen, you want to be heard because your alive and your someone."

Venus looked at Naruto and thought "he knows me, he's like me but he is not lonely now."

"I've done so many stupid things over the years that I should be remembered for being an idiot instead of a Sage of the Mountain said Naruto. If you hang in there I will train you the best I can Venus, you have some talent but you must work and study harder can you do that for me?"

"YES SENSEI I WON'T FAIL YOU AT ALL" she screamed so loud she scared the people walking by; they thought they were going to be robbed.

"Yeah she's just like me when I was young hyper-active knucklehead" he thought.

Venus looked at Naruto "was your sensei like you" she asked as they continued to walk?

"I had two, one was Hatake Kakashi and the other was Jiraiya the Sennin of Konoha, Kakashi was a sharigan user who was excellent at all three forms of jutsu. He once defeated me while reading a book when I was a genin" laughed Naruto.

"A book? He beat you reading a book she laughed, now I don't feel bad about losing to you she said."

"He was always reading that pervy book that my other sensei wrote."

"He was a writer she said?

"Yes and don't go reading any of his pervy books said Naruto with a sinister smile."

"What was he like?"

"Pervy but he was an excellent teacher and I miss him. When he was killed it was like a piece of me died with him, to him I was just Naruto nothing else. He was like my grandfather and I never really got to tell him thank you for guiding me to a better future and helping me fulfill a dream" said Naruto.

"He sounded like a great guy "she said.

"Better I always wanted him to be next to me when I made Hokage, but since he is not here it seems like a moot point. I mean don't get me wrong I have Tsunade who believes in me just as much as Jiraiya it just hurts knowing he isn't going to be there."

Venus could tell that Naruto was still hurting after all this time and she wish she could at least make him feel a little better.

"When is Hinata-sensei coming back" she ask to get things off his mind?

"I have another week to go and she will be back" said Naruto as he raised an eyebrow.

"I really like Hyuuga- sensei she always treat me nice even when I'm the worst in class she treats me as if I'm the best."

"She got that touch as Naruto approached the orphanage remember we will train tomorrow at 8am so get a good night sleep."

Venus smiled and thought "he doesn't treat me like the other adults he listens to me, and he actually make things feel better when he is near, it's like you can trust him, it makes you want to follow him."

"See you teach, I'm going to surpass you one day" she said.

"I know you will the next generation always do" as he bided her a good night.

As they started to practice, all three wondered why Naruto put a leaf on their forehead and told to mold chakra. "I thought we would learn killer techniques they all yelled."

"You need to learn this first" said Naruto.

"WHY" they screamed!

"Tell you what said Naruto keep molding chakra on this leaf on your forehead and when you get home do some research on the leaf forehead technique."

"Great homework now" as they all looked gloomed by that.

"Trust me this research is something you want to know, you can't do any techniques without this beginner technique and you want to know this" said Naruto.

They all had the same thought this is going to be something special each thought of the skill he used and they wanted to master it.

As they molded the chakra Sai came to talk to Naruto.

"Wow said Venus he's cute I wonder why he's here don't he have his students to train" thought Venus?

"Sai I'm sorry I had to walk my student home so I got back late to talk to you" said Naruto.

"That's okay what did you want to tell me" said Sai?

"I'm going to ask Hinata to marry me when she gets back, I'm going to her father house to tell him and to let Tsunade know today" said Naruto.

"Congratulations said Sai I must say it's about time; sometimes I thought she would stare a whole in you ".

Naruto laughed," well I'm the one that's lucky and I can't wait for her to get back. How are your students coming" asked Naruto?

" Well let's say that I'm seen better, they have this lone hero complex that I can't make them get rid of, they only want to learn moves and not use their minds" said Sai.

"I know, you have to teach them teamwork, but my students seem to get the grasp of it quick, now they must learn to use what they have" said Naruto.

Sai bided Naruto a good day and went back to check on his students.

"So have you held the leaf in one spot like I told you?"

"Yeah but it's difficult to do" said Shinji.

"This basic exercise can help you accomplish a lot of jutsu you should practice this everyday" said Naruto."

After the leaf technique Naruto showed them basic footwork and how to block with a kunai and various taijutsu techniques. All three genin looked exhausted from today's training.

"That s all for today" said Naruto.

"Thank heaven" said all three looking like they had just been through a war.

All three genin said good-bye to their sensei and headed home. Now to stop at the Hyuuga complex to talk to Hiashi said Naruto.

As Naruto approach Hyuuga complex he seen Hinata's little sister Hanabi.

"Hey Naruto you come to see my father again, what do you guys talk about anyway" said Hanabi?

"Enough Hanabi, that's for Mr. Uzumaki business and me, come on in Naruto" said Hiashi. What do I owe this unexpected visit from you today?"

"Well Mr. Hyuuga last time we talked "... Naruto did not know what to say all words seem to come up short of what he wanted to articulate.

" Are you sick you look pale and look like you going to pass out ...wait I know what's going on" as Hiashi smiled.

" I looked the same way when I asked my wife's father for his blessing to marry his daughter, the exact same look, you want to ask me for her hand is that it son" said Hiashi?

"Yes" said Naruto.

Hiashi smiled "you can have it, do you have a ring for Hinata?"

"Yes" as he let Hiashi see it.

"What an exquisite beauty how could you afford this? It's a rare chakra ring that never loses its shine there are only about fifty in the world how on earth did you get this?"

"I got it at the Village of Clouds" said Naruto.

"Only fifty rings made, why did she sell it to me so cheap" thought Naruto.

"I see your turning into a gentleman to give her this ring. She will be please; I know I hear your name at least 500 times a day. When you tell her, both of you come to me so we can make arrangements and when you're ready to be married on that special date we can prepare a grand ceremony" said Hiashi.

Naruto could tell that this was not going to be a small wedding and he had to ask Tsunade to be part of his celebration, even though they argue a lot he always thought of Tsunade as a mother, the kind that wouldn't let you get away with anything.

"Well I'm off; I have to intern for the Hokage position" said Naruto.

Hiashi raised an eyebrow "your interning, I see my little talk got you up an about for my daughters hand" said Hiashi.

Naruto smiled as he headed to the door, "good-bye Mr. Hyuuga" said Naruto.

"No need to call me that anymore call me, Dad" said Hiashi.

Naruto thought in his head "what is going on why does this seems so weird; I'm literally going crazy in the head over that one little word? And what's up with that look, it's even making it even worse"?

"Sure Daa...DAaa...DAD said Naruto sounding as if he couldn't form a "d" word.

Hiashi smiled "good-bye son."

As Naruto left Hiashi started to laugh '"my father-in-law was right it is funny to see your daughter's fiancée look uncomfortable an squirm it's a picture worth one in a million that you will always cherish, I guess I'll tell Naruto to do the same if someone ever ask to marry his little girl" as he kept laughing.

Sometimes the leader of the main house needs some sort of entertainment to keep from being bored once in a while.
