Hi everyone! Here's a new chapter! But let me answer a question first!

To - Silvermane1 His hair changed to black in chapter 3 and I explained why in my AN, the reason he didn't see his reflection in the river's water is because he was dunking his head in without looking and because it grew dark Haku didn't tell him because she was so preoccupied in her thoughts that she had simply forgot to tell him. Hope that clears up your question.

To - Thor94 I'm not planning to give Naruto a bloodline but that could change, I will mainly focus on him and swords, which ones? You won't know, hell even I don't know right now :P but I have a question for everyone,

Should I give Naruto swords from other franchises? I.e. Clouds Bustersword, Excellion Blade, Masamune, Rebellion, Master Sword, Muramasa, Monado etc.

(The Exellion Blade is from an anime called "Beet the vandal buster", good anime and manga! read/watch when you have a chance!)


Naruto was panicking, Mei had given him a mirror and when he saw his reflection he freaked out and looked into the mirror to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him or if the mirror was somehow broken.

"WHAT THE HELL, WHY IS MY HAIR BLACK!?" he screamed as all the people in the room sans Haku were wincing at the sudden yell, even the guards who were stationed right outside had to cover their ears wondering what the heck was going on.

Naruto was still yelling at the top of lungs screaming about random things that no one understood, something about Uchiha bastards and Sasuke-teme, and went on until Mei, Ao and even Chojuro had enough as all of them said in unison,

"URUSAI!" and broke Naruto from his rant as he focused on the three his face still in its confused state with a hint of fear as to why his hair wasn't its usual bright blonde.

Mei, regaining her composure after her undignified little outburst asked Naruto again,

"So tell me, even though you don't have red hair, are you an Uzumaki?" she said her face once again serious with her tone of authority that would scare all men into submission, especially Ao who had been on the receiving end of it on more occasions than he would care to admit and just gave Naruto a sympathy look, despite the seriousness of the situation.

But, be it ignorance or apathy Naruto wasn't scared of her words, her power maybe but not her words and just answered,

"Yeah of course i'm an Uzumaki! Whats it to you lady?" both Ao and Chojuro paled. No one and I mean NO ONE ever spoke to Mei like that without being bodily injured or maimed in someway.

Hell, even her enemies knew what she could do and never tried to purposely anger her in fear of their manhood yet this boy had done just that.

He probably had the balls the size of basketballs, either that or he was an idiot.

"What did you say to me?" Mei said in that sweet tone with a smile on her face that Naruto knew all to well. The first time he ever seen it was on Ayame-neechan.


(flashback)

Naruto was bouncing up and down at the prospect of having his favorite meal once again at his favorite stand, with two people that have never shunned him when he talked to them.

He had finally gotten enough money saved up from the allowance the old man had been giving to him though for some reason for the other shops it was never enough.

Naruto had been so happy he didn't even acknowledge the glares he was receiving and happily made his way inside the stand known as Ichiraku Ramen.

Immediately a an aroma of delicious foods filled the air. Smells of chicken fish, vegetables, and

The employees only consisted of two people, a father and daughter by the names of Teuchi and Ayame.

Teuchi was a man in his mid forties while Ayame his daughter, was in her teens at age 13.

Naruto held both of them in high regard as they were the ones who had first ever shown him an act of kindness giving him his first ever ramen for free.

As Naruto moved under the shops little flaps of cloth that was used for privacy instead of having walls he made his way too a stool and jumped on it showing his big goofy smile and greeted,

"Hey Teuchi ojii-san! Ayame nee-chan!" and the two aforementioned workers turned to look at their favorite customer.

"Can you give me the miso ramen jii-san?" asked Naruto as Teuchi placed a hand on his head, smiled, and laughed.

"Do you even need to ask Naruto?" as Teuchi made a bowl of miso ramen as quick as lightning and served to Naruto who happily seemed to just somehow managed to eat the ramen as if he were inhaling air.

"Naruto don't eat like that! You'll choke to death!" Ayame had scolded the little boy on his eating habits with no apparent luck of her concerns getting through Naruto's thick skull.

Naruto lifted his bowl and drank the rest of the ramen broth and set the bowl down with a satisfied sigh.

"So how was school today Naruto?" Ayame asked as she always liked how the little boy would always be so animated in his descriptions.

"Good Ayame-nee!" Naruto happily said, "I think I might have an idea for a new jutsu!"

Now THAT got Ayame's full attention, she was no stranger nor fool when it came to ninjas as many frequented their little shop and knew how powerful justus were.

For one as young as Naruto to be able to just make one up was astounding! Her little Naruto would be a genius by the time he became a shinobi.

With obvious interest Ayame asked Naruto, "Really? What is it called and what is it going to do?"

Feeling his ego rise and his confidence at its all time high, Naruto said,

"The Oiroke no Jutsu! I would turn into a naked woman to distract ninjas!" and then, dead silence filled the area.

Ayame's respect for Naruto's smarts just took a nosedive down and went below sea level as she couldn't believe her ears, did he just say what she thought she heard?

Naruto just had on his biggest smile and was acting as if he won a million ryo at a lottery, but that all changed when for some reason he felt cold, as if the north winds decided to just come into the shop for no reason.

Then he saw it, a dark purple aura was forming around Ayame as she had a pulsing vein appear on her head and with a smile that told Naruto that immense pain would rain down upon him if he took one step out of line.

But he realized one second too late that his fate was sealed as Ayame reached for her ladle...


Konoha Forest

The sun was shining, and the winds were moving the trees around as the birds chirped and the bees buzzed. All the animals and wildlife were at peace with one another as equilibrium was set and nothing was there to upset the balance until...

CLANG!

"ITAI!"

"BAKA!"

(flashback end)


As Naruto saw Mei's face, he knew there was only one thing he could do,

apologize.

But the words couldn't come out of his mouth being frozen in fear of long and everlasting pain that Mei's face had promised to inflict upon him.

But luckily for Naruto a distraction was made as Haku woke up.
