Well everyone this one might not be your favorite but it was necessary to advance the plot as well as explain the Naruto Kyuubi situation and show some key points in their relationship. As well as the pairing.

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Naruto stood and faced his imminent death like any shinobi would. He closed his eyes as he waited for the pain. He heard a thud. Opening his eyes he saw Iruka with a determined face as he drew another kunai. Naruto looked over to a tree next to him to see the large snake pinned to a tree by its head with Iruka's blade protruding from it. Naruto smiled before he jumped in front of the genin. His head snapped back as Orochimaru used a chakra enhanced punch. Naruto forced his head back before charging the snake. He feinted a low side kick before quickly changing to a reverse Axe kick to the Sannin's head sending him back. Naruto then charged a chidori and zig zaged towards the man. He thrust his jutsu out towards Orochimaru's chest only to have the snake break his arm at the elbow. Naruto grunted before he used his one good arm and drew one of his swords. Fusing it with Fuuton chakra Naruto pulled off his mask to increase his visibility. He had to stall Orochimaru no matter what. 'If I have to use it to protect my genin I will.' Naruto's face was grim but determined as he slashed through a second snake as it shot towards him. Orochimaru disappeared and then reappeared.

"Nice to see you again Naru-kun!" Naruto slashed behind him missing Orochimaru by a wide margin. Orochimaru kicked Naruto's leg making him topple onto his broken arm sending pain shooting through his body overflowing his brain synapses. Only by sheer willpower did Naruto stay conscious. When he tried to get up Orochimaru kicked him in the ribs cracking a few.

"Kukuku Naruto your genin look like great specimens for my experiments. Especially the red eyed one. I think I'll start with her. Think she can survive the experiments Naruto?"

"I will protect them with my life if I have to."

"Like Hinata? Good luck." HE stomped on Naruto's other arm and smirked as it shattered under his sandals with Naruto screaming in pain. Orochimaru turned and walked towards the genin. "Come children I will only hurt you a lot."

Naruto wached as his vision began to fade as Orochimaru walked to the genins. His gaze turned red as Orochimaru grabbed Iruka's shirt then backhanded Anko as she tried to protect Iruka.

Orochimaru was just about to give Iruka the Curse Seal as a massive wave of chakra forced him to fall over gagging. 'Where is this killer Intent coming from?' He scanned the area and his eyes fell on Naruto, or what was Naruto. Now the jounin stood on all fours with 6 tails waving behind him. "Orochimaru release them NOW!"

Orochimaru laughed before dropping into his stance. Then he was propelled forward as a sword shot from his side. He looked down as blood poured out of his wounds. Quickly healing the wound he turned back to Naruto only to find the space empty.

"UP HERE! CHAKRA GUN VOLLEY!" Orochimaru dove as he avoided the massive balls of chakra shooting towards him. He was sent reeling as Naruto smashed into him. "POWER OF THE NINE!" Suddenly 9 clones of Naruto in his foxy form rose from the ground before they all charged at Orochimaru. Orochimaru dodged and dove and dispelled the clones.

After the last clone disappeared he charged the real Naruto. The Fox disappeared before reappearing behind him and slashing through the tendons in one shoulder causing the arm to fall limp. Orochimaru turned and dove under the pay before slapping a seal on Naruto.

Jiraiya and Hiruzen followed Kiba as they landed behind the genin. Kiba quickly grabbed them and summoned Akamaru who carried them to safety as Kiba escorted them. Shortly after Kiba left Sasuke and the jounin and Anbu landed and watched as Naruto slashed through Orochimaru's shoulder causing the arm to fall limp. Orochimaru then dove under the fox's arm and slapped a seal Naruto's chest above his chakra coils. He then slammed his opened hand with his five digits pointed out.

"5 point elemental seal!" Naruto's chakra cloak and tails completely disappeared. Orochimaru then drew a short sword and stabbed it into Naruto's chest as Hiruzen and Jirayia charged forward with a rasengan and Chidori extended. Orochimaru grinned before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

Six jounin followed the Hokage and Jiraiya as they carried a stretcher between them. Then burst through the hospital and the Nurse on duty turned. "Saukra there is no time Naruto is hirt bad and we need him to be treated right away." Sasuke yelled sternly as he ran passed carrying his best friend.

Kiba left the genin room just as the 8 people ran past followed by Sakura. All Kiba saw was a flash of blond before the jounin ran past. 'Shit Naruto!' Then he turned and sprinted down the hallway following the 9 jounin.

Hiruzen and Jiraiya burst through the door and held it open as Naruto was placed on the table before Sakura entered shortly followed by a tired Tsunade and Shizune. Seeing Naruto on the table as blood poured from an angry chest wound broke Tsunade's emotional dam. Shizune snapped and pushed her aside as she ran forward to save her little brother. "Everyone who isn't a medic or Tsunade get the fuck out!" The other jounin nodded before running out and slamming the doors as Sakura, Shizune and a teary Tsunade poured chakra into the wound willing it to heal.

Kiba, Sasuke and the other jounin sat in the waiting room as the medic continued to run into Naruto's room. Ino and Tenten looked down as tears fell. Naruto's genin were cleared but had yet to return home. Iruka supported both his teammates as they cried. He tried to be storng but couldn't hold back the tears as they time went on.

The light turned off and Shizune walked out wiping blood off onto her apron. She stayed silent as she wiped the blood.

"He is in a coma. He is stable but he might never wake from the coma." She felt hot tears run down her face as everyone in the room began to wipe the tears. Kiba and Sasuke both punched through a wall as the Anko and Kurenai collapsed and sobbed harder their whole bodies shuddering as they sobbed.

Sasuke, Kiba, Lee and Neji stood up. "We need to see him." Shizune nodded as the 4 Anbu entered. Naruto was their captain, their teammate, and their best friend. He always was there to help him and would sacrifice himself to save anyone of them. The four stood against the wall as they watched him. Kurenai, Iruka, and Anko followed the Anbu in as Iruka joined them on the wall as Kurenai and Anko sat in the chairs as they watched their sensei.

Inside Naruto's mindscape

Naruto walked through a large field as he watched memories occur all around him. He looked and say the day he first kissed Ino on that one date before he joined the Anbu. Then where he and Hinata first kissed after 3 dates. Then the day he lost her. Then he saw the memory of the funeral, the glares from the main family, Hanabi's threats and Hiashi's glares. He looked at himself as he stumbled out of the bar after with a cigarette hanging from his mouth and his hand cut from the broken beer bottles.

Then he saw the memory when he first meet his team. And when they fought Zabuza and when he trained them. He saw how they looked up to him and he smiled as he watched as Iruka glared at his nickname before smiling as Naruto riffled his hair. He watched the team breakfeasts and dinners, he watched them as they grew before he was suddenly reliving the fight scene in the woods. He watched himself get his ass handed to him before Kyuubi stepped in and evened the fight up.

One Week Later

Nartuo was sitting with Kyuubi. After Hinata was Killed Naruto accepted Kyuubi's proposal to become part of his body in exchange for the ability to experience the sights. Naruto laid back against his friend as Kyuubi had his eyes closed asleep. Naruto woke up and stood up. "Kyuubi wake up."

"What?"

"You need to send me back."

"Why so you can be with Kurenai-hime?"

"Hey she is only my student!"

"Yeah and I am only a fox but regardless fine. KAI!"

Naruto collapsed then opened his eyes. He was instantly blinded by the lights above his head as his hand shot up to prevent the light from hitting his eyes. He grunted as he sat up his bones creaking in protest. He stood up onto his legs and wobbled a bit before falling back down. HE stood up again then walked over to the bathroom. Quicky changing he exited the bathroom to see Tsunade and Shizune enter the room. Upon seeing the empty bed they turned to the sound of Naruto leaning against the doorframe.

"Can you clear me now? I have to train my genin."

Tsunade ran a diagnostic jutsu and found he was completely healed. "You can just wait they will be here in any second now. Suddenly Naruto heard three sounds of running feet as his genin burst through the door. Upon seeing their sensei up Kurenai and Anko tackeled him to the ground as Iruka pinched the bridge of his nose. After a few seconds Anko got up grinning madly as Kurenai stayed attached to her sensei blushing profusely.

"Kurenai-chan be careful you might suffocate him!"

Kurenai shot up in embarrassment before helping Naruto up. "I am sorry sensei."

"Its fine Kurenai I missed you guys to how has training been coming?"

"Great! Iruka began kenjutsu training with Jiraiya and I began to train with his toad Shimaon genjutsu and Anko has been working with the Fugusaku and we all signed the Toad Contract!" Naruto smirked at his sensei's habit of having all his students take the summoning test with Gamabunta. He planned on having the three take it later but now training was easier.

"Well I think we should have a team dinner to catch up ne?"
