Naruto walked up the stairs of the Hokage tower to see his 'grandpa.' He knew Mizuki was lying because if it was true then the Hokage himself would've told him something. With a smile on his face he opened the door to the old man's office and bounded in.
"Hey jiji! Can I ask a favor?" Sarutobi looked up from his paperwork at his adopted grandson and smiled when he noticed the hitai-ite on his forehead.
"Ah Naruto, I see you passed and as rookie of the year I hope?" The old Hokage's smile dropped a little when Naruto frowned.
"Yeah but Sasuke-teme got it as well. But that's okay because later today tou-san is gonna let me sign the spider contract." Sarutobi had heard a rumor about two students being granted the title but now it was confirmed.
"That's good, what is this favor you wish to ask?" Naruto put on his prankster smile and Sarutobi instantly got worried, this meant something big was going to happen. The old man immediately grabbed his pipe and lit it.
"Can I borrow the forbidden scroll? I think we have a traitor amongst us."
"The forbidden scroll? Why would you ask to borrow that and who is the traitor?" Naruto sat down in the chair in front of the desk, his mischievous smile never leaving his face.
"Mizuki, he told me earlier about some secret test you give that if I steal the forbidden scroll and learn a jutsu from it you'll promote me to chunin. That's not true right? I mean if it was you would've told me." Sarutobi nodded, Mizuki seemed to have changed about two years ago from a good man to someone who seemed to be hiding something. Sarutobi remembered a similar change in one of his old students.
"I see, well Naruto I'll let you borrow it on the condition you do not lose it understood? Besides, there was a jutsu in it that I was going to teach you to solve you bunshin problem." Naruto nodded happy that his grandpa would teach him something.
"No problems ojii-san I won't lose it."
"I take it since you came in here asking me for the scroll you already have a plan to stop Mizuki?" Naruto's prank smile grew even bigger as more ideas flooded into his head. He may be rookie of the year and clan heir but he is and always will be the prankster king of Konoha.
"Of course, he must think I'm stupid to believe something like that. Well have the scroll ready for me around eight tonight and I'll come 'steal' it. Then after an hour or so you can send ANBU to pick up Mizuki."
Sarutobi's eyebrow rose up in curiosity.
"Why an hour?"
"He's going to join the search party first to remove suspicion then meet with me when he can get away from everyone." The Hokage nodded and Naruto left saying something about ramen.
Iruka laid in bed going over the day's events in his head. He was the first teacher to ever have two rookies of the year. Though the council gave him shit for granting the title to Naruto he displayed the scores and explained the bunshin test making them shut up as Iruka had all the evidence that his favorite student did not cheat and in fact got the title on his own. Just as he was about to go to sleep he heard a knock at the door.
"Who could that be at this time of night?" He opened it to see Mizuki.
"Mizuki what are you doing here?" Mizuki looked tired having obviously run to get him.
"It's Naruto. He stole the forbidden scroll. The Hokage has asked for us to catch him." Mizuki waited for Iruka to change before both left jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
"Iruka you check the left side of the village and I'll check the right." Before Iruka could answer Mizuki took off. Something didn't feel right to Iruka, why would Naruto who proved himself by making rookie of the year steal the forbidden scroll? Iruka took off towards the forest, a sixth sense telling him that's where Naruto was.
He was right as he found Naruto lying on the ground with the scroll open next to him. He looked exhausted as he stuffed a smaller scroll into his pack and closed up the forbidden scroll.
'Score! I learned Kage Bunshin and when I get the chance I'll learn the Shuriken Kage Bunshin I copied.' Naruto thought as Iruka landed in front of him. Iruka was not part of Naruto's plan but he would play along.
"Naruto! What are you doing?" Naruto looked at Iruka as if he had done nothing wrong, which was true as he hadn't.
"Iruka-sensei what are you doing here? I thought Mizuki-sensei was going to test me?" Iruka was confused now, was this all Mizuki's doing?
"What are you talking about Naruto?"
"Well Mizuki-sensei said that if I steal the forbidden scroll and learn a jutsu from it I could get promoted to chunin. Well I learned a cool technique from it."
Before Iuka could answer he heard the sound of kunai flying and shoved Naruto out of the way only to be hit by several.
"Damn I missed him, Iruka you idiot why did you block him? I could've gotten rid of the demon once and for all." Mizuki stood on a tree branch and looked at Naruto with the look of disgust he was all too familiar with.
"Give me the scroll Naruto and you'll get your promotion." Iruka was in too much pain to tell Naruto not to as he saw Naruto toss the scroll to Mizuki who smiled.
"Yes the forbidden scroll, I've always wanted to see what techniques are hidden in this." He slowly opened the scroll and saw that instead of powerful or forbidden jutsus there was a picture of Naruto mooning him with the word SUCKER written above it. All around the drawing were explosive tags.
"Oh shi—"The multiple tags activated sending Mizuki flying, his hair singed and burns on his body and face.
"HA! THAT'S FOR THINKING YOU COULD TRICK ME! YOU HONESTLY THOUGHT YOU COULD TRICK THE PRANKSTER KING OF KONOHA?" Naruto screamed as Mizuki dragged himself up, the right side of his face was nearly burnt off.
"Shut your mouth you filthy demon. Do you know why people hate you? Do you?" Iruka at that point found his voice.
"Mizuki! You know we're not supposed to speak of that!" Iruka tried to get up using the old shack to steady himself.
"It's because you Naruto are the Kyuubi who killed everyone thirteen years ago! You killed Iruka's parents and the fox was then sealed in you! You are the Kyuubi!" Naruto's smile dropped and his face was nothing but shock and sadness.
"I'm…I'm the Kyuubi? That's why everyone…looks at me like they do?" Naruto dropped to his knees, his head hung down after that revelation. Mizuki saw this as he chance as threw the large shuriken strapped to his back at Naruto as hard as he could.
Naruto didn't see the shuriken coming towards him and didn't move until a human shaped shadow was above him. He looked up and saw Iruka crying as he took the shuriken for him.
"Iruka-sensei, why did you—"Iruka interrupted him.
"Because Naruto, you're not the Kyuubi. You're just a boy that was forced to carry a burden no one should carry. You're Dokueki Inuzuka Uzumaki Naruto, genin of Konoha." Tears fell from Naruto's eyes as he looked up at one of the few people who saw him for who he was. Iruka never glared at him, never hurt him, and was never mean to him even though he knew of what he carried in him.
Mizuki was disgusted at this.
"Ah how sentimental, you can both burn in hell then when I kill you both." Naruto stood up and stepped in front of Iruka shielding him.
"If you touch Iruka-sensei, I'll kill you."
"You kill me? And what makes you think you have the power to kill me?" Mizuki was confident but his confidence went down drastically when he saw Naruto's red eyes. Naruto did a cross hand seal and began his attack.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and with that hundreds of red eye Naruto's filled the forest each one cracking their knuckles.
"You think that scares me?" He grabbed the last shuriken on his back and got into a stance.
At once Naruto and all his clones bit their thumbs before going through hand seals. After a few handseals all slammed their palms on the ground.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" rang out through the thick forest as spiders the size of Dobermans appeared, thousands of black reflective eyes all looking at the former academy teacher like a fly caught in a web. Naruto pointed at Mizuki and snarled.
"GET HIM!" At once the spiders all began firing webs at Mizuki who dodged the first few but was soon trapped until only his head was uncovered. Naruto clenched his hands and was about to do something else until the Hokage with four ANBU showed up, the masked ninja surprised at all the Naruto's and spiders before all of them dispersed leaving the original Naruto tired. Naruto's eyes went back to blue as the Hokage stepped up to him.
"You did good Naruto. ANBU will take it from here. Two of you take Mizuki to Ibiki, the other two get Iruka to a hospital quickly."
"Oji-san, why didn't you tell me?" Sarutobi knew what happened as he watched it with his crystal ball. He sighed and pulled Naruto into a hug.
"I did it to help you Naruto. I didn't want the younger generation to know so I made a law forbidding anyone from speaking about it to you so you could have friends. Only those of jonin rank or those who were around when the fox attacked know about it. I'm sorry Naruto."
"Does that mean tou-san and kaa-san know?" Sarutobi knew it this was hard as Jigo mentioned several times that he should tell Naruto about it.
"Yes but they wanted to tell you, they just couldn't find the right moment. Your parents were willing to break a law to make sure you knew about this. Again I'm truly sorry Naruto." Naruto was quiet, he knew the old man had the best intentions for him but things just didn't work out like he planned. He was happy his parents were willing to risk punishment to make sure he wasn't in the dark and figured they would've probably told him tonight had he not had to deal with Mizuki.
"Oji-san, thank you. I know you only meant to help." Sarutobi smiled, his grandson had forgiven him and for him all was well with the world. Then a thought came to him, one he didn't want to bring up at all but knew it would have to be dealt with eventually.
"Naruto, will you tell Ino and Hinata? They of all people deserve to know." Naruto forgot about them. He knew Anko knew since she was a jonin but obviously didn't care about it since she hung around him and such but Ino and Hinata didn't know.
"I'll…I'll tell them tomorrow then see if they want to stay with me. Jiji, I'm scared. I don't want to lose them, they both mean a lot to me." The Hokage nodded, knowing that this would possibly be the hardest thing Naruto would ever have to do.
"Naruto, if they truly love you, then it won't matter what you carry within you. Remember that." Naruto sniffled and nodded knowing the old man was right.
"Come on Naruto, let's get you home." And with that the Hokage shunshined away.
***Next Day***
"Come on, once more Naruto. We still got another hour left." Jigo said as he sparred with his son who now hand weights on his ankles, waist, and hands which made his movements much slower and made contortion harder.
"Tou-san this is hard, why am I doing it with weights?" Jigo and Tsume talked with Naruto last night after the Hokage explained everything to them. Tears were spilt as the two parents promised not to keep anything like that from him again and he forgave them knowing that they wanted to tell him. What Naruto couldn't figure out was why Jigo woke Naruto up early in the morning and strapped weights on him making him do physical conditioning first then taijutsu spars.
"Well for one, it'll make you faster. Another thing is you're being punished." Naruto's mouth dropped open.
"Punished! What for?" Naruto screamed as he just barely dodged a kick from Jigo.
"Simple this is punishment for teaching clan secrets to the Uchiha. They're called clan secrets for a reason you know." Naruto dodged another kick which was followed by a punch to his face that sent him flying a few feet back.
"I ONLY TAUGHT HIM THE CONTORTION EXERCISES!" Naruto screamed as he got up. He couldn't take off the weights as they had a blood seal that only Jigo could unlock making movement difficult.
"Those are still part of our clan. Did you even think to ask me if you could?" Naruto stopped moving and his head hung down. Jigo waited for his response patiently. While Jigo was carefree most of the time when it was necessary he could get serious.
"Well?"
"He confessed something to me tou-san, about his clan. He wants to get stronger to kill the man who massacred his clan and get revenge and as his friend I want to help him. What's wrong with that?" Jigo sighed, he knew his son had a big heart and would do anything for anyone he considered close to him but Jigo had to make him understand that he couldn't teach family secrets.
"Naruto I understand you want to help him but you can't give away family secrets like that. Hell the only reason I let you teach Ino and Hinata the spider style is because you love them and plan to marry them. Speaking of which, you need to talk to them about your tenant today. Don't put this off son as that can bite you in the ass. I don't mind you training with the Uchiha but do not teach him our family's jutsus. You understand?"
Naruto nodded, he knew what his tou-san was trying to teach him but it was the fact that he would have to tell his hime's about his 'guest' that made him sad. This would either be one of the happiest days in Naruto's life…or the saddest.
"I understand tou-san. I just wish I didn't have to go through this burden of telling them." Jigo ruffled his son's hair and also wished things could be different.
"Don't worry Naruto, you my son have the devil's luck and I know you'll have it when you tell them the truth. Speak of the devil here they come now, morning girls!" Jigo waved at the two clan heiress' as they walked up.
"Good morning Jigo-sama." Both said which made Jigo face twist.
"Girls, just call me Jigo. Jigo-sama makes me feel old and don't say I am. I'm not even thirty yet." Ino giggled as she loved Naruto's father. He had a great sense of humor which she noticed Naruto did too, though his was geared more towards pranks.
"Well Naruto I think I've tortured you enough this morning, let me take those weights off you." Jigo pricked his thumb with a senbon needle and smeared some blood on all the weight seals, each weight making small impressions in the ground.
"Have fun kids, don't do anything I wouldn't do." With that Jigo walked in noticing Tsume in just a small night gown, her legs showing as she reached up to grab something on a high shelf. A large grin very similar to his son's prank grin appeared on the poison master's face as he silently crept up behind the Inuzuka matron both hands reaching around her front to squeeze her breasts and pull her flush against him.
"Good morning, my lovely hime." Jigo's hands began squeezing and kneading her breasts making her growl/moan and grind against him. She looked at the box of tea in her hand then looked at him with a smile. She tossed the box onto the counter and growled.
"Fuck it I can drink it later. You. Me. Bedroom. Baby-making. Now!" Before Jigo could finish she grabbed him by his shirt and dragged him off upstairs where loud growling could be heard along the sound of cloth tearing.
"TSUME-HIME THAT WAS MY FAVOR—"The scream ended abruptly moaning following it a few seconds later.
Naruto, Ino, and Hinata each looked at the second story of the house with blushes on their faces. Naruto knew the two were hard at work trying to make a baby as they had explained it to him, Hana, and Kiba last night but they didn't need to be so loud.
"Um Ino-chan, Hinata-chan? Let's go somewhere else, let them have their privacy. Besides there is something I want to tell you two, something important." Both wondered what it could be and nodded following the whiskered blond the blushes on their faces deepening as a loud howl followed by the scream of Tsume's name could be heard coming from the second story of the Dokueki clan home.
"So…up for round two?" Jigo smiled, having Naruto for a son did wonders for both their stamina as he looked at his feral queen, her hair was even more untamed now and her eyes were staring at him with hungry lust as she began biting on his neck waiting for his answer.
"I have a feeling we're gonna have twins at this rate koi…okay time for round two!" he grabbed her and flipped her over which made her yelp in surprise as he slid inside back inside her in one go.
"Twins wouldn't be so bad, just means we'll have t—"Her sentence was cut off as Jigo bit her neck line making her moan and her toes curl as Jigo began their lovemaking, something they both knew would continue for the next few hours.
A/N: Hey folks sorry I took so long to update, work and such are annoying plus my sister is getting married so I have to help out. Anyway I got a new poll for a new Naruto fic I'm planning.
