AN: I'm sorry that it took me so long to upload this chapter but between studying for my Recording Arts final and my birthday I've had very little time to sit and type. But here it is!

Alright so like I promised you guys this chapter will finally see more of the girls in the harem introduced as well as some plot time!...and Naruto being a badass. I'm debating on doing lemons for this story for two reasons: 1) I don't know if I could write them and 2) I don't want them to detract from the story. Yea there is some romance in this story but there is also some serious shit as well. If you guys could leave me your opinions on what you think I should do concerning this little dilemma would be of great help. Also no the lemons wouldn't be happening now. It'd be around the time of the time skip or so.

And that's it for my rambling! On with the show!


It had been a month since Team 7 had been initiated as on official team of Konoha and since then not much had changed with the village. Even the members of Team 7 hadn't changed all that much. Naruto still wore the same clothes he had been wearing since the Academy except now he usually wore his ragged cloak on top of that and left it unzipped as well as he now carried a katana at his left hip. The hilt was deep crimson red and it had a black tassel that dangled from the pommel.

Kakashi was still a pervert and lazy but his fellow joinin could feel a change in his aura. It still exuded that same tone of laziness but underneath that was a newfound well of power. Kakashi was strong, everyone knew that but it seemed like he had gained a drive to grow even stronger once more.

Yakumo had done the most drastic change and had completely changed up her outfit. She now wore tight black shinobi pants taped at the ankle and black shinobi sandals. She wore a black tank top underneath a mesh top and over that she wore a deep purple sweater whose sleeves went past her hands. Hidden in the sleeves were seals Naruto had drawn that held senbon, kunai, shuriken, and her paintbrushes. Those same weapons were covered in various poisons that Ino had actually made especially for her. Some of them kept her victims awake longer, knocked them out, paralyzed them, or straight up killed them on the spot. She had taken to covering her mouth with her sleeves (yes just like a certain arrancar from Bleach) when talking.

Ino had stayed pretty much the same except she now carried two scrolls stacked on top of each other at the small of her back. One scroll contained various types of poisons meant for enemies. The one underneath that one carried assorted medical supplies should anybody need her assistance.

At first the training had started off rather bumpy as the three genin were trying to get comfortable with Kakashi and vice a versa. Once that bump had been passed training went off without a hitch. Not even the Hokage knew exactly how strong the team was as all Kakashi was willing to share with him was that, "The team works seamlessly together as a unit and each of us has grown in some way." This of course bothered the man to no end as the one of the reasons he had wanted Kakashi to be their sensei was to have an insider of sorts. He highly doubted that they were thinking of anything close to betraying the village but still he wasn't comfortable not knowing how strong his soldiers were.

At current time we find our Hokage along with the ninja council dealing with said team. "So as I understand jounin Hatake you wish for permission to leave the village for two months on a training trip. What exactly would warrant this?"

The ninja council members were just as curious. There had never been a request such as this from a genin team let alone such a new genin team. Chunins and jounins? Sure but fresh out of the Academy genin? Unheard of!

"If I may Hokage-sama?" interjected the team's powerhouse.

It still hurt the man deeply to hear a teen he had once bottle-fed and cared for refer to him in such a way but he hid it well. He had no one to blame for it but himself.

"You may genin." He motioned.

"Well sir the reason we feel it would benefit us is-"was as far as Naruto got before he was interrupted by the chamber doors being slammed open by the members of the civilian council. All those present narrowed their eyes at this. What right did they have to interrupt this?

"What is the meaning of this Hokage!? Holding a meeting without us!?" shouted one indescript member of the council. Shouts of agreement echoed throughout the small gathering of civilians. Sarutobi's old teammates and rival for the hat made their way to the forefront of the crowd as well.

"Indeed Hiruzen. What are you doing performing such things behind our ba-"

"ENOUGH!" shouted Hiruzen flaring his chakra as well as his ki (killing intent) forcing many to their knees. Coming to a standing position he continued, "I have watched you all run my sensei's village to the ground all while disrespecting me and my position and I've had enough of it! You have all forgotten that this is no democracy! This is a shinobi village and you are all civilians! Meaning you have absolutely no say in how I command MY soldiers!" pointing at Koharu, Homura, and Danzo he continued his rant, "and you three! You seem to have forgotten your place as well! You do not tell me what to do. You are my ADVISERS meaning you ADVISE me and nothing more! I have final say when it comes to all matters of this village, YOU do not!" Letting loose a vast amount of chakra causing even some of the clan heads to sweat he spoke, "Do I make myself clear CIVILIANS?"

Strained murmurs of "yes Hokage-sama" rang through the crowd.

Sarutobi took his seat once more and dispersed his chakra letting the civilians stand once more. "Good. I hope I don't have to do this again. Anbu!...Escort these people out."

It was with grumbles that the room was finally cleared of the civilians.

Motioning with his hands like nothing had happened he intoned, "You were saying genin Namikaze?"

Guess I had an impact on the old man that night. Glad you're coming back thought a smirking Naruto. Coughing he spoke with a straight face, "Yes well as it stands my team and myself have need of more space to practice both our own individual techniques as well group ones that would cause quite a bit of collateral damage to the village and any training ground in the village."

"And what of the Forest of Death? Or even the training fields behind the Hokage monument? Would they not meet your needs?" inquired the ever stoic Hyuuga head.

"Or even the Anbu training grounds. Those are made to handle such things," continued the feral Tsume Inuzaka.

"If I may be blunt council and Hokage?" questioned Naruto. At their approval he bluntly stated, "Normally yes but the use of my furry tenant is included in some of these as well as Yakumo's own bloodline. We also can not get real world experience here in the village and being honest we knew you would never permit our group to even attempt higher ranking missions so we figured that if we went out to train we would encounter people to test us."

Kids damn smart. Was the collective thought of among the ninja council.

"Hokage-sama if I may?" spoke a surprisingly alert Nara Shikaku. After getting the ok to contine from his commander he rose from his seat and with a sigh began to speak, "I think this may prove to be quite the boon for us as a village in quite a few ways. Not only will we have possibly one of our strongest jounins accompany possibly our strongest genin squad outside they could, for the lack of a better term, serve as advertisements to both our allies as well as our enemies." Shikaku saw that he had piqued the interest of all those present he continued with another sigh, "By sending out these four they would obviously encounter both our allies as well as enemies. Of course our enemies may see this as an opportunity to pick one of our teams off but when they are deftly handled by a mere genin squad…well you can imagine the ensuing rumors. Of course we all know that this particular team is of course far from average but those that would serve as messengers of this news don't have to…"

His speech was met with the whole room smirking at the deviousness of it all. Hey you can't blame them. These are people trained to use any tactic to win the battle or in this case stop a battle from even happening. It was dirty, underhanded, and secretive or in other words a perfect plan for a village of trained assassins.

Only minutes later Team 7 was walking out of the Hokage Tower with a scroll signed by every member of the ninja council as well as the Hokage himself allowing them almost Sanin travel rights.


It was weeks later we find Team 7 sitting around a campfire after having returned from gaining the bounty of yet another overly cocky missing nin. This had been taken care of by Ino personally. He had said something about her being a bimbo and the rest of the team knew to let her handle it. It was only by sheer luck that they had been able to save the head from being melted by a corrosive acid the Yamanaka had injected into the man….via a rather uncomfortable place that things should not be injected into.

Within the span of a few weeks the team had managed to grow even more as a team thanks to them not having to worry about endangering any innocents. The only innocents that suffered were the poor innocent trees they slaughtered on a regular basis. Of course they had been able to work on individual skills some but the whole purpose of this trip was to get even more comfortable with each other and be able to more easily be able to not only co-ordinate their individual attacks but also their team attacks. Those same team attacks ranged from small jutsu use and taijutsu combinations to joined jutsu combinations on a massive scale. As individuals they were strong and fearsome, especially Naruto and Kakashi, but as a team they were neigh undefeatable.

They had finally found out were Naruto stood without the help of his tenant and he and Kakashi were currently tied for wins and losses in their "spars". Said spars looked more like battles to the death that had actually given Ino quite a bit of valuable experience in healing various burns, cuts, gashes, broken bones, and several other otherwise life threatening wounds. Naruto of course needed no help in that department. It was a topic that had actually piqued Naruto's interest. Whenever he had used even the smallest amounts of Kyuubi's chakra in the past he always felt the tell-tale signs of said chakra beast's bloodlust and anger but when he was healed he felt none of that. With that in mind he had elected to use today's solo training time to get some questions he had answered.

Entering a meditative state he soon found himself in the sewer that was his mind. It had become quite clean in recent years due to his new outlook in life and all but no matter how good life was going for him it remained a sewer still. The waters had lowered until they merely looked like a puddle, the walls looked much cleaner, and the pipes that represented his chakra pathways shined a bright bronze.

The young Uzumaki followed the pipes and the huge source of power to the open chamber where the strongest of the bijuu resided. Of course being a massive construct of chakra didn't take away from the fact that the Kyuubi was still a kitsune which is why our hero currently finds the snoozing form of the fox.

Naruto now had a dilemma on his hands. He had to find a way to wake up the massive fox without ticking it off. If he pissed it off then he would get zero answers and be booted from his own damn mind. For as old as the fox was it still acted like a teenager. Either that or the fox was affected by the person it was being contained in.

Naruto paced back and forth with his hands folded behind him trying to think of a good way to pleasantly wake up the "sleeping furball" without "getting my ass chewed out". After 5 minutes of pacing Naruto snapped his fingers. We're talking about a giant fox here. What better way to wake up a giant fox than with a giant rabbit?

Using the fact that this was HIS mind to his advantage the blonde imagined a fluffy white bunny….except on a much larger scale. And with a poof said image took physical?...mental?...it took form. The thing was almost as big as him! He sent it into the cage and the next thing he knew was he had giant bunny blood splattering all over him….gross.

Looking up he saw the bijuu grinning at him as it cleaned the blood from its fur.

"Well well my host that was a good little treat." Lowering itself onto its haunches and resting its head on its front paws it looked at its jailer with a bored look, "Now I assume you woke me for some reason or other. I may be in a decent mood but I would much like to get back to my nap so if you would please hurry."

Naruto nodded, "Right well I just got a couple of questions you may have the answers to." Noticing the fox looked just the slightest bit more interested he continued, "Well I know that because I have you stuck in me my empath sense has become something akin to radar. I was just wondering if that would be passed down along with the Uzumaki vitality and all that."

"Hmm well yes it would be possible it would require some work on both our parts. You are correct, I am the reason the sense was heightened to unseen levels and it's that very reason that should you mate with a female normally the offspring would not be born with the power. I would have to pump some of my own yoki into your sperm infusing them with said yoki to make it possible."

The blonde teen nodded at that. It made sense. Had he not had the kyuubi he wouldn't have the power in the first place.

"The only thing is that the child will not have it anywhere close to your level. Because you have my chakra constantly being siphoned into your body the sense has become dependent on it. It's using my yoki as a source of energy. Since the child will not have the yoki constantly flowing through its pathways the sense will not have enough energy to work to its full potential." Lectured the kitsune.

"Yea that does make sense. Alright thanks. My other question is about my healing factor. I know we Uzumaki are extremely durable and I've become even more so thanks to you but whenever my healing factor kicks in I know it's not your yoki that's doing it. Why is my healing factor so advanced?"

The fox paused to stretch before it continued, "Well you're healing prowess is thanks to a lot of different factors. Part of it is your Uzumaki blood, another part is having me, another part is this damn seal here, and the last part is your father's blood." At this Naruto was surprised. His father's blood? The guy was an orphan and had never been able to find out who his parent's were. What was in his blood to be able to contribute to his un-godly healing factor? And how the hell did the fox know who they were?

"Don't worry I'll get to that but first my part in it. You see the seal you have on you may be vastly different from that of your mother and your ancestor Mito but they also served the same basic principal, binding me to them damn near down to the soul. Because of this I have absorbed some qualities from them and vice a versa. Your seal is much different in that you are allowed access to much more of my power but in exchange we are quite literally bonded at the soul. This has allowed for some of my own qualities to seep into you. So my own greatness combined with the vitality of two very powerful Uzumaki women and you have become close to being immortal. Normally the only way that you would possibly be able to die would be via decapitation or someone ripping out your beating heart. Anything short of that and you'll be coming back. You'd also be victim to the ravages of time….eventually. Probably not until you hit your hundreds or so but you'd still fall victim to time." It looked like the Kyuubi had finally finished but with a pointed look Naruto shut his mouth.

"Now one of the most interesting things that contributes to your healing is your father's blood. How much of the inner workings do you know about your father's famed Hiraishin?"

Although he hadn't been able to fully master the technique yet he had of course studied the notes on it. The thing was a fuinjutsu masterpiece almost on par with the one on his stomach. "Well I know that the basic principle of it is that it bends the fabric of space and time around two certain points, the seal marker and the user. Using chakra the user is able to make a tunnel of sorts between the two points making travel in between the points instantaneous. It's one of a small handful of known Jikukan (Time-Space) jutsu."

"Yes and the other Jikukan techniques are not nearly as impressive. Do you realize what you have just said? Your father is BENDING the very fabric of the universe to his whim with not but his chakra! If he had lived to be as old as the monkey I have no doubt he would have been able to use the technique without the marker. But back on topic. What your father is doing is something not even most of us BIJUU are able to do. I myself only have a very rudimentary ability to do something similar and I'm thousands of years old!" spoke the now clearly awake kitsune. It may have at one point been angry at the man but even it had to respect someone who was able to redirect a bijuudama (tailed beast ball) using a highly advanced Jikukan jutsu.

As he finally came to realize what the technique truly was Naruto's jaw dropped. His father was literally playing Kami! The seals on the marker were honestly not all that complex! He had been able to understand a chunk of them after a couple of months and all of them after 3 years. What the hell else was his father doing that could possibly make such a thing possible!?

"It's not what your father was doing but more like what his chakra was doing." At hearing the booming voice the teen looked questioningly at the massive Kitsue.

"What does his chakra have to do with this?"

"Every living thing on this planet has an affinity. Everything from you ningen down to the smallest insect has an affinity to one or more of the elements. Some fall into the main 5 of fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. Others however fall into sub-elements such as ice, magma, metal, and even light and dark themselves. Your father was from a very unique clan thought to have died out during the clan wars. That clan was responsible for the handful of known Jikukan techniques. The Namikaze clan was a clan feared by many for their jutsu and their affinity to Jikukan. Others looked at them as demons as they believed only the gods should be able to mess with time and space. Eventually the clan grew too full of themselves and attempted to time travel and plane jump…they failed and the backlash caused by that failure cost them more than half of their numbers. The other clans heard of their weakened state and pounced. Soon the clan had been erased from the annals of history for fear that others would attempt to recreate their techniques. Only someone the age of your Shodaime would have any kind of knowledge on that clan."

Naruto sat there awe-struck. He was not from just one clan that had been wiped out due to fear of their strength but two!

"But what made them so special? I mean what gave them their affinity to Jikukan?"

"I myself do not know of their origins as they had been around when the Rikudo Sennin was alive. However I do know that their chakra had special properties. Much like Uzumaki chakra grants the user vitality and endurance, Namikaze gifts them with dense and powerful chakra. Their chakra was so thick and strong they could bend the universe as they pleased. Its' that very chakra that allowed your father to invent the technique that gave him his name and it's that very chakra that now runs through your veins."

"But how does that affect my healing?"

"The Namikaze clan were like the Uzumaki in that because of the properties of their chakra and blood they were harder to kill than the average human. With the Namikaze their cells reproduced so rapidly and for so long that they had become near invulnerable to the destruction of time. Your mother looked to be in her 20's well into her thirties and your father was much the same. You?….tch you'll probably look 20 well into your 60's. You my vessel are the closest to being immortal any ningen has ever gotten."

Naruto sat on his ass too shocked to speak. He prided himself on being able to control his emotions and not look…well like a fool but this was just one of those moments. How could he not be shocked!? At the age of 14 he was closer than anybody in the Elemental Nations to damn well being a kami! Everything about him was near perfection! He was BRED to be great!

"I….uh….just…." Naruto sat there gaping like a fish.

The kitsune sweatdropped. Maybe it had said too much in one sitting. Coughing into its paws it continued, "Yes well that may well be a very intelligent response in the making you would do well to remember who is after you and who else would come for you if they knew what you do. You may have the potential to even equal me but without the training to use any of it properly that's all it will be, potential. As it stands you are indeed strong but nowhere near the level of those who would see you dead or under a microscope."

Still too shocked by all of it Naruto merely nodded with his mouth still wide open. The sweatdrop the Kitsune had returned much larger this time. "I'll leave you to cope then." And with that Naruto was ejected from his mind.


A week later we find our protagonist on his own meditating. After learning about everything from his tenant he had began to push his own training to even greater heights. To do so he had apologized to Ino and Yakumo for having to give them to Kakashi to continue their training but they had understood. It actually gave them even more incentive to grow stronger. If they planned to help their blonde crush with the enemies and situations he would find himself in then they would need to be strong, as strong as they could be. Kakashi had also understood and had even vowed that he would be there too. No matter what they were his students and he would help them any way he could.

At the current moment the teen was meditating to get a feel for the different chakras coursing through his body. Of course since he had been born with them and they had thusly grown into him the different chakras had blended into one perfect, balanced source. He could still however feel the different qualities his chakra had. It was like Namikaze, Uzumaki, and Kyuubi's yoki were rivers that all flowed into the lake that was his chakra. To begin to truly use the powers of each he had to be able to differentiate between them all. Using Namikaze chakra to do an Uzumaki technique may end less than pleasantly for him.

It struck him as odd that chakra had a feel to it an emotion of sorts. Maybe he was the only one able to sense it due to his empath powers but nonetheless it was there. Maybe it had something to do with the chakra itself? Maybe it was like blood in that it carried parts of its originator, his ancestor.

Bah! I'm getting off track here. Ok so let me see. Hmmm Naruto thought as he searched through his chakra pool. Anger, malevolence, power, and superiority? That's definitely the fuzzball's yoki. Life, vitality, and energy? That's my Uzumaki chakra. Now where is- was as far as his thought process went before he felt it.

Holy fuck. This….feeling. Strength, dominance, force….what is this? Is this how Namikaze chakra feels!? It's- "FUCK! AHH!" screamed the blonde as he squeezed his eyes and held his head.

Might controls everything. Without it you can't protect anything, not even yourself. Echoed a rumbling voice in his head. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! Screamed the blonde in agonizing pain.

"WHO ARE YOU!? THERE IS ROOM ONLY FOR ONE IN THIS KITS MIND AND I AM IT! LEAVE HERE NO-"

Foolish kitsune. You hold no power over me. Be silent!

Inside the cage we see the great Kyuubi ramming the gates of its cage in an effort to help its vessel. With a mighty roar the kitsune unleashes 5 tails of its power letting it flow into every crack and crevice of if its prison.

"KIT!" was the last thing heard from the mightiest of the bijuu.

Who are you and what do you want!? yelled the panicking teen. He could no longer hear let alone feel the Kyuubi's presence.

Calm yourself child. I am not going to harm you or that beast. As for who I am…I am your ancestor. I am Yamato Namikaze.


"Now where could those flowers be? They shouldn't be this hard to find here," spoke a beautiful teen. She had a porcelain face complimented by the dark hair that framed her face. She looked to be about 16 and had the curves to prove it. Though said curves were somewhat hidden by the pink kimono she wore.

She carried a small wicker basket on her right arm as she leisurely strolled through the forest. "Now I could have sworn I saw some of the flowers I need when we walked through this path! Where could-" she stopped her train of thought abruptly as she saw the destruction of the forest. Trees were either burned, sliced clean, or some combination of the two. The ground was no better as it was cratered as if it hit by a small meteor shower.

Venturing further into the destruction she saw who she thought to be the culprit in a meditative pose. It was a teen around her age with wild blonde hair that fell around his head in gentle spikes. The teen was currently shirtless showing her what kind of training he did and boy was she blushing. On his lap sat a beautifully crafted o-katana with a crimson red hilt and a length of black cloth hanging from the pommel.

"You know its kinda rude to stare at someone shirtless miss," spoke the teen.

She "eep'd" before she chuckled in attempt to regain some composer. "Yes well I was merely…um…admiring your sword," and immediately her mind shot to the gutter if he's that toned up there I wonder if…NO BAD HAKU!, "I mean well….what happened here?" she nervously asked.

Chuckling the blonde opened his eyes to reveal the most beautiful sapphire blue eyes she had ever seen. He rose from his position on the floor to show that he was a couple inches taller than her. He grabbed his ragged black cloak from a hanging tree branch and threw it on leaving it unzipped. He walked up to her carrying his blade in his left hand lazily. Each step he took closer to her, her blush grew darker. An arms distance way he lifted his hand to offer a handshake.

"My names Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." Spoke the "blonde Adonis" with his foxy grin plastered on his face.

Slipping her hand in his she nervously chuckled and said, "Haku. Haku Momoichi."


AN: Well that ends my longest chapter to date! Again sorry for the wait but stuff happens! Hopefully it was worth the wait. Now another couple questions. First I'm an avid user of Twitter and was wondering if I made a twitter account for my FF would you guys follow it? It'd be so you guys can get an insider into the various ideas I got running through my head, as well as my opinions on some shows and the like. You'd also be able to ask me any question regarding my stories, ideas, etc. and even share with me any criticism, ideas you have and all that good stuff. If I get enough reviews and pm's saying to do it, it shall happen.

Now my other question. Kyuubi; female or no? If yes then she WILL be paired with Naruto cuz I personally love that pairing. If not I will eventually do another story pairing the two as again I love said pairing. Review or pm me as usual!

Also feel free to pm me for practically anything. I may not respond immediately but I will eventually respond! See that twitter account is looking pretty good huh? ;) no seriously I'm on twitter A LOT. Like A LOT haha

Thanks for reading! Leave a review and/or all that other good stuff. Until next chapter! PEACE OUT
