The next morning at 4 a.m. I was awake and training again. Making three breakfast to go I left a note on the table for Kakashi, Shikamaru and Hinata who would undoubtedly be looking for me. Making a clone I had it activate my seal before making breakfast for Kaka nii. He would be late or his reputation would be ruined, henging I headed for training ground 7 and left a clone with the breakfast. I had made Sasuke an omelet with tomatoes and sausage. Sakura an omelet with sausage, peppers, and mushrooms. My own was made with sausage, peppers, and mushrooms. Each had cheese and a glass of orange juice. Training for the next hour I felt the two of them approaching the training ground and quickly replaced myself with the clone in my henge. Opening my own breakfast Sakura and Sasuke looked at me horrified. "Here eat" I said handing them their own box and orange juice. "He said not to eat" Sakura said getting ready to hit me.

"Don't touch me Haruno. Kakashi sensei suggest we don't eat. But seriously the pamphlet said nothing about not eating and he was 3 hours late yesterday. If you don't eat it will hinder your movements later today during the test" I said eating my food. Drinking my orange juice I finished and sealed the empty container back in my arm. Sasuke was eating so Sakura followed suit, we were silent for about an hour when I pulled out a couple books and began reading one at random it seemed. "What are you reading dobe" Sasuke asked breaking the silence, "Sealing book. I'm trying to get it mastered so I can help out a friend" I said not looking up. "What would mastering seals help" Sakura asked looking at the two books beside me. "Well if I can master seals I can reverse the making of a seal and remove it" I said looking at her. She had been staring at the medical book, "Read it Sakura it isn't going to hurt. You will probably have the best chakra control and that is needed for medical ninjutsu" I said earning a glare from Sasuke. "Get over it teme. I'm right. Your a Uchiha you have quite a bit of chakra, I am an Uzumaki were known to be chakra power houses. And Sakura is going to have the smallest but we can always help her enlarge them later. She would do well as medic, maybe under Tsunade even" I said before smiling slightly and handing the last book a book on swordsman ship to Sasuke.

"You had it planned out from the start" Shikaku said a smirk on his face. "I knew that Sakura would have great control and Sasuke would be different than most Uchiha. It was only right for me to help them even if they didn't know it at the time" I said shrugging. "Oh I knew" Sakura said smirking, "You got me into the field of medicine and when we went on our first c rank it was because of you I was able to stay level headed" Sakura finished smiling.

"How do you know so much. Not that I'm complaining but you acted completely different in the academy" Sakura asked softly. "I will tell you after this test from Kakashi sensei" I said lightly as I returned to reading. "I'm going to tell you now we have to work together. No matter what Kakashi sensei says" I said sighing as I looked at them. Sakura nodded and Sasuke hned, "That's not even appropriate teme" I said not looking up at him. Sakura stared at me wide eyed as I had understood him, Sasuke smirked putting the puzzle together. "Yo" Kakashi said poofing in front of us 3 hours late. "Your late" Sakura screamed at him. "A black cat crossed my path and I had to take the long way around" Kakashi said eye smiling.

"Oh my kami! That's my line bakashi" Obito said a small smile on his face as he looked at the two Kakashi's.

Setting a timer on the three logs he looked at us, "This time is set to go off at noon. You have till then to get a bell" he said. "Why are there only two bells" Sakura asked shooting glances at me from the corner of her eye. "One of you will get sent to the academy" he said seriously before counting.

Sakura and Sasuke stared at me in thought, 'They really should listen to me' I thought looking at Kakashi who gazed at me seriously. I shrugged as he counted to 3 and said go, taking off I made 5 shadow clones and sent two to find Sasuke and Sakura. I sent the other three out to observe as I sat there bored, Kakashi pulled out his book and began reading before walking into the forest bored. Sometime later Sakura's screaming was heard and my clone dispelled telling me where she was. Making it to a passed out Sakura I sighed and woke her from the genjutsu. "Oh no" Sakura said freaking out as she woke up gasping for breath, "It was an illusion Sakura calm down. Sasuke is fine" I said knowing the illusion had to have been about the Uchiha.

"It wasn't just about Sasuke. It was a deepest fear genjutsu and you had already somehow got roped into it Naru" Sakura said her voice barely heard. "It was just a genjutsu though" I said to her.

"Your okay" she asked looking me over, "Yes I am" I said a small real smile on my face as I led her towards the Uchiha. We walked in silence until Sakura spotted his head on the ground buried from neck down. "Headhunter jutsu" I asked smirking as Sasuke threw a glare at me. "I don't need your help" Sasuke said full of Uchiha pride. "Fine we will go get the bells" I said turning to leave, "Don't dobe help me please" Sasuke said between gritted teeth. "Exactly your pride isn't everything teme. Just because that's how you are now doesn't mean that's how you always were. Pride will not get you anywhere" I said sticking a kunai in the ground and pulling it out making the hole he was in soften.

"What did we do to our child" Fugaku asked shaking his head but Sasuke heard and he glared back at him. "It's what you didn't do as his father. You pushed and shoved Itachi while fawning over him so much so that you pushed your youngest aside even missing his own academy orientation. Itachi went and Mikoto showed up but you couldn't be bothered. Then you were so pissed and disappointed that your youngest couldn't make a strong fireball at the same age as Itachi. News fucking flash your son is a lightning user above fire dattebayo, it is like asking me to master an earth jutsu before wind, without my shadow clones it would be useless. You damaged him and it took us many times to even get him to open up. I didn't understand the extent of discontent and uselessness he felt until we fought when we were 13 and again when we were 16 and 17" I said my voice cold and dripping with venom. There was a shadow holding me in place with Hinata and Sakura both holding my shoulders. My hair was flying around me in 9 tails, "It wasn't enough for you to treat him like he wasn't good enough. Oh no then the Uchiha affair was being planned, you used Itachi in ANBU to try and be your spy. He and Shisui are two of the most loyal Konoha shinobi you will ever meet. Itachi was ordered by Danzo to kill you guys while he sent his Root members to kill the rest of the clan except Sasuke. Danzo faked Hokage approval and Itachi not able to live with the regret of his actions became a missing nin on his own and was a spy in Akatsuki for the village. But you how did you think it would end. It ended with me taking a chidori through my chest to try and bring your revenge obsessed child back home because the damn pedo-snake got to him about power" I said calmly staring at him.

Everyone was stiff around us, "Yeah last fucking Uchiha who thought that the only way to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan was by killing me. Thank you fucking Itachi for that one, by the way the entire Uchiha tablet is bullshit and not true. It's been manipulated with since Madara Uchiha was in his prime by an outside source. You are a total piece of freaking work Fugaku, as a child I had looked up to you when I was a visitor of your clan. Then I watched first hand you shove Sasuke aside and admiration for you went away, Itachi tried to make up for you but damnit you don't know what it's like to not have parents in the first place. So then when you do have parents and one of them is out right a dick for his own gain, I can't imagine. Sasu went through things I can't imagine but damn it he shouldn't have had too" I yelled tears falling down my cheeks.

"I" Fugaku said looking like he had been slapped, "Father stop" Itachi demanded sitting in my lap. "You don't understand that the way you treated your own child was the same way I was treated for being a jinchuriki. He was pushed aside, over looked, talked down to, treated like he wasn't even there. The pain, the loneliness we went through was the same. When you guys died the village treated him like royalty, they over indulged him, the girls fawned over him to the point of stalking him everywhere he went to be the Uchiha Matriarch. I'll tell you now, your presence in the village was not shunned or pushed aside. Jiji really was looking into the disappearance of your clan members. I know because I'm Hokage and went through every paper I could get my hands on that had to do with the Uchiha. Because I'd be damned if my brother was going through that shit again" I said not looking at anyone. "Our clan may have helped build this village but we weren't the only ones with the Senju clan. The Uzumaki clan is just as big a part of this if not more so, their fucking symbol is displayed as a tribute to the fallen members of a great clan that we should hold more respect to. They are the reason we have the seals we do and they are the reason that this village is not easy to find to outsiders. I'm sorry for your loss aunt Kushina" Sasuke said bowing his head in respect for my mothers fallen clansmen.

"How did you children know about the fallen village of Uzushiogakure" Ibiki asked then grinned, "Naru told Sakura when she discovered the history book one day. Sakura was so mad she vented the entire walk home about the injustice of this village to not honor Naruto's clan because the village elders and Danzo didn't want her finding out" Kakashi Sensei said. "It's my history I'm allowed to repeat it to anyone I deem worthy. I have earned that right Ibiki" I said shaking my head. "I know you are but I was curious Naru" Ibiki said grinning at us. Fugaku looked like he had swallowed a lemon, "You don't understand the pain or the loneliness your actions caused. It happens this time I'll remove him from your care, I don't care if I'm 4 years old at the time. I'm the most unpredictable shinobi you will ever meet" I said calmly staring into Fugaku's eyes making him see how serious I was. "It won't happen again Naru. I promise" Mikoto said sadly remembering how Sasuke asked her if his own father hated him as a child. "Thanks Aunt Mikoto" I replied smiling at her.

"Naru Naru take it off" Anko exclaimed jumping in front of me paled as a seal on her neck ached. "Fuckin A" I said switching modes entirely. Kakashi paled and the mini Kakashi looked before paling as well "What is it" Obito asked concerned for Anko. "A curse mark by that damn pedo-snake. Anko nee I'm sorry" I said before standing and breaking the shadows hold on me. "Sasuke you have to be ready to burn it. Sakura be ready to heal Anko, Hinata Byakugan to make sure all of his essence and influence is erased. Kaka nii be ready to catch, Shika pin her down. No movement whatsoever. Anko bite on this" I said sitting in the floor after taking charge.

Everyone watched with wide eyes, many here knew Anko had received the curse seal from Orochimaru and had been used during the war. Nobody knew I removed it though. Unsealing a scroll from my left shoulder I opened it and pulled out a wooden rod for her to bite on with a clip on mouth guard that can be changed out. I pulled out an ink bowl and a kunai, "Anko I need your blood sis" I said handing her the kunai and the bowl. She cut her palm letting the blood flow into the bowl about half way before Sakura stopped her and healed her palm. Taking the mouth guard and rod she stuck it in her mouth before nodding at Shikamaru she was ready. Picking up a seal brush I opened a blank scroll and began to make the seal lines. Trailing around her curse seal first I made a seal to transport the seal and everything the seal contained to the scroll. On the scroll I made the receiving seal and then a 8 part locking seal.

"Everyone ready" I asked my face grim determination at our plans, "Hai Hokage sama" they all said and I rolled my eyes. "Lock her down Shika" I said as his shadows snaked around her body immobilizing her, "Anko I'm going to start the hand signs. When I say go I need you to activate the seal" I said. She blinked once and Sakura relayed the message to me, moving through the hand signs my hand began to glow blue, green, brown, red, yellow and a whitish with every element plus my own chakra. "Now Anko" I commanded. Her body responded as she bit down on the mouth guard gritting her teeth as her seal activated and black began spreading across her body. I placed my hand over the mark and listened to Hinata tell me how far I needed to let my chakra flow into her body. "You've got it Naru! Close it up and pull" Hinata said to the relief of Shikamaru. Closing the chakra at the ends in a roundish nature I pulled my hand back and the seal broke flying off her skin onto the sealed paper. Running through a few more hand signs I slammed my hand on the now locked curse seal. We heard a weak screaming from the scroll as I rolled it up, "Kaka catch" I exclaimed tossing it behind me, Kakashi caught it and tossed it up high in the room as Sasuke performed amaterasu on the scroll. A howling could be heard as the scroll disintegrated, "It's gone. Anko your good but your chakra will take a little bit of getting used to since you have access to it all now" Sakura said removing her glowing green hands from Anko's shoulders and head.

Shikamaru let her up and I was tackled in a hug, "Damn gaki causing all kinds of trouble with out me" she said a real smile on her face. "Every day of my life" I replied smiling back at her, "They cold shoulder you this time. You got back up" I said as Ibiki, Kurenai and the rest of them joined her. "What do you mean cold shouldered" Obito asked his eyes mad. "The pedo-snake defected and left Anko behind. Everyone besides the Hokage and a select few others didn't trust Anko because of the snake. She was cold shouldered and treated much like Naru was. It's how they bonded and became close" Kurenai said sadly looking at her best friend. Sealing up my supplies I tossed the scroll to my mother and father, "In case he gives anyone else a hickey of doom. I have every curse seal I've ever come across, how to remove them safely without doing it my way and how to completely seal it without the willpower issue. Everything is written in there" I said as my father caught it and Jiji's eyes widened. "How did you know we would need this stuff" Jiji finally asked and Shikaku busted up laughing freaking many people out.

"Dear are you okay" Yoshino asked quietly. "She was going to travel back to the third war and give us all of this stuff while changing the future on her own. Your so damn troublesome" Shikaku muttered fondly. "You would have given up your bonds to change our future" Jiji asked surprised. "It is why I did this. She achieved the seal but I knew that this was needed. She needed this" Sage Jiji said from behind me. "I'd have done it in a heartbeat as Hokage of my village. To many of my people and those of the other great villages lost people. They should never have to face their loved ones reanimated for a war. Besides what bonds can't be replaced in time. It might not have been the same with Iruka and Anko but I would have been damn persistent to make those bonds. It wasn't for my own gain, my god brother lost our brother and his whole clan. My adoptive brother lost everyone close to him except me. Anko nee was shunned for something others wouldn't even understand. The Hyuga clan just needed a wake up call. Obito needed a chance to really live and not be manipulated, Rin needed to know the truth. Shika and Ino lost their fathers, Kurenai lost her love and by that the father of her child. So many kids have been kidnapped by the snake and war hawk it needed to be done. I was going to do this as Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves not Naruto Uzumaki" I said looking at my allies from the other villages.

My people began an uproar, but it was the Raikage that stood at attention with Onoki and a smaller Mei beside him. "Not on your life little girl. We came together originally to fight Madara Uchiha, but you. You changed everyone of us to make peace between the five villages and keep it. The sage bringing us all here is for the best, you can't escape us little girl. We expect her to be at every biannual Kage meeting from the moment when she is born 4th Hokage" A said. "I'll bring her with him so that I am there and she isn't too much of a distraction dattebane" my mother exclaimed. A chuckled and nodded fist bumping me, "You always have others way to fix things Naru" Onoki said ruffling my hair. "Damn fence sitter" I muttered making him laugh. "Oh wait until Gaara finds out" Sasuke said smirking at my back. "There is no way in hell Gaara could find out. He's busy being Kazekage in our time" I said turning to face him. We all settled back down on the couches everyone looking at me in a new found respect even if it was sad.

"Here's the plan, the three of us go and I'll make clones to distract him. Sasuke can use a fire jutsu with ninja wire as a diversion while Sakura slips in beside him grabbing the bells" I said, they both looked at me before nodding and we took off. I made 300 clones and sent them to attack Kakashi in intervals of 50. When the last 50 popped Sasuke blew out a fire ball aimed right for Kakashi and Sakura got in close enough to steal the bells before he noticed. The bell rang with Sakura holding the bells in her hand, we joined her by the stump and Kakashi looked at me. "Hey we worked together" I said looking at him seriously, he nodded "I know but they wouldn't have figured it out if you hadn't said anything" he replied. "Why not! What's the one thing our village holds above everything else in the ninja academy. The effectiveness of teamwork dattebayo, we work together to protect each other, our village, and grow ourselves" I said stunning Sasuke and Sakura while Kakashi smiled at me.

Everyone just turned to stare at me a small smile on their faces, I really hadn't changed much. Itachi and Shisui climbed into my lap with Kurama and some of the other siblings.

"You Sakura who are you going to give the bells to" Kakashi asked shocking her. "Naruto for the plan and helping me. Sasuke because of his diversion I was able to do what I needed to do" she said tossing them to us. We both tossed them back to her "But you grabbed them" Sasuke said seriously to her. Kakashi began walking having us follow him to the memorial stone. "Good! You all pass. This test was designed to pit you against each other. This is the memorial stone" Kakashi said gesturing to the stone I knew my parents names were engraved on. He visits the stone everyday, "Everyone I ever loved is on this stone except one. My teammates, my parents, my own jounin instructor. They all have their names engraved on this stone. My best friend once told me that Those that break the rules are scum. But those that abandon their comrades are worse than scum" Kakashi said looking at all three of us individually. "And Naruto didn't abandon either of us" Sakura said nodding her head in understanding. "She didn't abandon you did she" Kakashi said eye smiling at me as we all sat down.

"You used my line" Obito said smiling at Kakashi sadly, "I did and I taught it to Naruto as a child, she holds it very dear to her as well" mini Kakashi answered back.

He passed each one of us a bento that he had made while we were waiting, "Okay I told you guys that I would tell you after the test. What I am about to tell you absolutely no one is to know. That involves your mother and Ino, Sakura, if you can't keep this a secret then Inoichi will make sure you don't remember it" I said seriously. Sakura gulped wide eyed contemplating her decisions, "I won't tell anyone. We're a team and we need to have full trust and faith in each other" she said sincerely. Nodding I dropped my henge, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm a girl. Yes everyone believes I'm a guy because when we leave here Sakura, Sasuke watch how the villager react to me walking through. Don't intervene or say a word, just watch. You'll know why I hid, I promised I wouldn't lie to my team so I'm not. In the village with others around I will stay in my henge. When it is just us or we are out of the village I won't hide, this is for my own safety until the end of the next chuunin exams. I am also not dumb either it was easier to pretend to be dumb with the way I'm treated" I said biting my lower lip. "We have to talk dobe" Sasuke said his eyes narrowed, "No we don't teme. You watch how they treat me and then tell me it was safe to tell anyone that you are like my brother" I said finishing my lunch.

"This is an S class secret. If you can't handle it we will handle it for you. Naruto is still Naruto she just has to tell people on her own. She is letting you in don't ruin this. Now we start missions tomorrow at 7 a.m. Ja Ne" Kakashi said dismissing us as he disappeared. "I will observe how they act today Naruto. I'm glad you felt like you could trust us even though I am not the nicest to you" Sakura said embarrassed. "It's okay" I said biting my lower lip while henging back into my male persona and walking away. The two of them were following me at hearing distance, I turned out the scowls and spiteful words of being a demon, monster, freak that should just go die. Walking to the clearing before going to the clan district I stopped, and they caught up to me.

"How do you put up with that" Sasuke asked irritated. Sakura looked like she was going to cry, "Not a word to your mom or Ino about what we talked about. You can discuss my treatment by the villagers with Ino but I warn you Hinata and Shikamaru will be easily triggered in anger by it" I said not looking at them. "We will be a better team Naruto. You're not alone, if you ever need help with anything to do with ya know. Let me know" Sakura said sniffling as she composed herself thinking while she walked away. "Oh Sakura here. I was serious earlier I think you'll make a great medic" I said tossing her the medical book, she smiled slightly thanking me. Handing Sasuke the sword book he stared at me, "I thought I had it bad" he mumbled poking my forehead before walking away. Irritated I rubbed my forehead and disappeared in my compound silently, first Itachi then Shisui now Sasuke what the hell.

Everyone laughed at that statement, "I'm serious what the hell. You even poked me in the forehead before you left the valley of the end dattebayo" I exclaimed chuckling.

Dropping the henge I went out to Ichiraku ramen for dinner, Iruka sensei met me on the walk there. He walked me to the stand and led me inside, Teuchi was there already getting my usual out while Ayame came and greeted me squealing. "Oh Naru I thought I would never see you out and about" she said hugging me close to her. The flap moved and I sat very still as a chakra signature I recognized came in, "Can I get two extra large miso pork ramen to go please Teuchi san" Neji asked not noticing me. Chuckling Teuchi smiled, "Sure. I am already working on miso pork ramen. Might I ask how you got roped into picking up the order" he asked Neji. "My sensei said it was payment for a friend of his. He made it a mission of sorts" Neji replied looking around the shop finally his eyes widening in surprise at seeing me. "Do you mind if I sit here" Neji asked me, giggling I shook my head trying not to choke on air and breath.

"Stalking me now Neji" I asked teasing him, Neji's cheeks reddened and he looked at me. "Technically you have been stalking me while I'm at training ground 9" he whispered in my ear. I felt my cheeks heat up as I turned bright red like my mothers hair breathing through my nose. "No idea what your talking about" I said close to his face, Neji's smirk slowly fell from his face as he turned redder and I looked at him concerned. "Hey are you okay? Are you sick? I think Hinata was sick a lot when we first met she got red like this too" I said scooting closer to him and placing one of my hands on his forehead.

Everybody laughed even the two Uchiha boys in my lap, "How did you not know" Jiraiya asked skeptical. "I have no idea but really it took me 16 years to catch on. Who did I get that from" I questioned looking at my parents with big blue eyes. They were both red and looking away from each other, everyone laughed harder. "Smart as she is. Naruto is dense with certain things" Kurama said shaking his head at me smiling.

"I'm fine Naru" Neji said trying to mask his emotions confusing me. Iruka and Ayame chuckled as Teuchi studied us from a distance, Teuchi handed Ayame a bowl for me and two to go containers for Neji. "How can you eat that" Neji asked shocking me, "Nani" I asked. "The noodles how are you able to eat it" Neji asked again. Rolling my eyes I shoved a bite in my mouth and swallowed "Like that" I said once my mouth was empty. "I understand that but" Neji started to say when I shoved a bite in his own mouth that was open. Three pairs of eyes stared at me in disbelief and Ayame quickly took pictures without me noticing. "It is good no? Ramen is the best dattebayo" I said smiling softly at Neji who turned red again confusing me.

Neji was stunned into silence as I watched him and continued to eat, "Iruka sensei, I think I broke the genius" I said softly ignoring their knowing looks. Guy popped in at that exact time to see a stunned Neji and laughed "I will take my youthful student from you Naru and the ramen is yours" he said picking the stunned Neji up. "Be careful I think I broke him Guy" I said making Guy laugh harder spouting something about youthful love. Eating my ramen I ate the two bowls Guy had purchased for me as well.

"You stunned a genius like a boss" Obito exclaimed high fiving me. Chuckling I was blushing heavily as everyone laughed including Hiashi and Hizashi.

"So Naru how do you know Neji" Ayame asked lightly from beside me. "He was my first friend when I was not even 3 years old Ayame. He just found me again" I said shrugging before finishing my ramen quickly. Paying Teuchi I bid Iruka bye and took to the trees to go home. After telling Sakura I was extra cautious but knowing Jiji he had her under surveillance. Wonder what unfortunate ANBU got cherry duty, snorting at the nickname for her I jumped over my compound walls.

"And this is where Cherry came from" I said smiling at Sakura.

Deciding to go to bed instead of anything else I sighed exhausted as I fell on my bed after barely getting in bed clothes. My dreams were harmless that night as I thought about the last 12 years of my life. I hope they are proud of me I thought thinking of my parents. We had left their room exactly the way it was, neither I nor Kakashi wanted to change it. Over the years since I discovered my heritage at 5 he had taken it upon himself to update my room. 'Don't tell the one you love like none other the truth yet. He's still blinded by hate and fueled by it. Give him time" a soft voice I had heard only a few times said making me think of Neji.

Waking the next morning what the voice said confused me. Neji why did you have such a hard life, what drove you to be like this. Did they never tell you what your own father said before his passing, if not why? Oh he needed to get his genius ass beat Uzumaki style and soon. Sighing I got out of bed and showered before getting ready in my outfit from Jiji. Going to the kitchen there was breakfast on the table with a note, 'Naruto, you will probably get up first and as such I made you breakfast. Knowing Shikamaru and Hinata they will join you. The three of you should not train until we all meet up today, don't need the cute little ANBU squad to be tuckered out already. Kaka nii'. Snorting I ate breakfast rather quickly and went to go train anyway, doing my physical training only.

Everyone laughed "Your ANBU squad" Obito asked. "Yes mine. They were normally under my command as leader but Naru led most of the time. Plus she never listens" Kakashi sensei said.

"Troublesome, you know that note says not to train" Shikamaru said joining me. "Obviously but it's not like us to listen besides I'm not doing anything besides this" I said smirking at Hinata as she joined as well. "He said he didn't want us to tire. He didn't say don't do your morning exercise or jog" she replied, today she wore her fighting kimono that she had for the registration picture. Smiling I nodded at her as we finished our workout and stretches before running. "I told Sakura and Sasuke yesterday" I said to the two of them. "How did that go" Hinata asked smiling at me as Shikamaru grumbled about Uchiha and hands to himself. "Well I haven't been informed that Sakura had her memory wiped so it's good I guess" I said but I couldn't help thinking back on Neji in Ichiraku's yesterday evening. "She better not. This is troublesome" Shikamaru said fondly instead of his normal disdain. "Only because it's easier than what we normally do" I snickered as we finally finished our laps.

"I'm really glad everything worked out for the better between you two girls" Jiji said smiling at me and Cherry. "Me too Jiji" I said smiling at him and then Sakura, "I always wanted a sister" Sakura said smiling back at us.

"Well I guess it's time. Let's get ready to head out" I said as Hinata activated the seal for today. "One day that seal will be to troublesome" Shikamaru muttered. "Yeah I'll even let you remove it" I said smiling lightly as we entered the kitchen and got something to drink.

"Has it been removed" my father asked eyeing us critically, "Yep" Sakura replied the mischievous glint in her eyes. "She used a seal that could only be dissolved with Sake" Hinata said giggling in memory. "I smelled like a bar for 2 days" I said glaring at the two of them playfully. Everyone laughed again.

"Good" Hinata said before we each got ready to leave, leaving the compound together I henged when we left our separate ways. We each headed to our respective training ground, Sasuke and Sakura were already sitting by the poles with the books from me out. "Morning teme, Sakura" I said sitting down and opening the last seals book, the expert fuinjutsu mastery book. This book was old not even new, it was in my parents library passed down through the Uzumaki line. "Morning Naru, new book" Sakura asked fidgeting. Making a single shadow clone I handed it seals and told it to put them around us for protection. "Yes, it was my mother's before mine. She was a seals master as well, it is something the Uzumaki clan was known for" I said resting my hand in my palm.

"Um Naru is it appropriate to tell Kakashi Sensei or the Hokage about things my mother is planning" Sakura asked nervously. "You may tell either or both. If it pertains to me well don't worry Sakura I will be fine" I said smiling at her gently in gratitude. "Hnn. Dobe" Sasuke said as I rolled my eyes it translated to "have you read this". "Yes teme I have read that book, I have also learned to wield a katana. My mother left me one but I usually do not use it" I said laying on my stomach and began to read again. Sakura seemed unsure with my answer, I didn't know at the time she was planning to make sure that our team was out of the village around my birthday this time. A few of my ANBU protection squad disappeared to approach the Hokage to inform him of Sakura's need to talk to him without us noticing.

"That's why you asked for our C rank" I asked her smiling. "It is. I couldn't let you be in the village for that again. I know you had protection but my mom was not planning nice things since she somehow was informed of our team" Sakura replied. "Thank you" I said softly and she hugged me "It's what older sisters do" Sakura said Hinata agreeing with her.

"Who taught Naru Uchiha speak" Obito asked excited. "We did" Itachi and Shisui said raising their hands like school children. "This is great! Think of all the mayhem we can cause with a child who understand our language that isn't from our clan" Obito exclaimed earning many laughs and a couple of head slaps. "It is pretty easy to descipher once you learn the original, almost all of the Konoha 12 plus Sai understand Uchiha speak. But I swear to kami Itachi no crows this time" I said smiling at them and giving Obito a thumbs up making him laugh loudly in excitement. "No need for them now Naru. Why are you traumatized" Itachi asked smirking at me, "What would you think if someone shoved a crow down your throat" I asked him, making Shisui laugh at the memory and the others in the room laugh. His parents looked at him confused, "You will see in time" Itachi sighed leaning on Shisui.

"I will hold you to that Uchiha. I don't like sharing space within Naruto. I already have to give that up when my siblings want to visit her, however this time around I would prefer it if there were no unnecessary precautions shoved down her throat and thrust into my space" Kurama said looking over at the two young Uchiha. "He's not kidding Itachi. Kurama tried to fry me several times while I was there" Shisui said shaking his head. Everyone laughed harder looking at people.

Only a few minutes after 7 a.m. Kakashi poofed into existence in front of us, "If I had been an enemy my cute little genin you would all be in trouble" Kakashi said. "Kakashi sensei" I said pointing to his feet not even looking up from my book as he paled, "Nevermind. Naruto when did you have time to set up all of this" Kakashi asked looking around us. "When we first got here" Sasuke answered for me while staring at the various seals around the three of us to protect us.

"Even then you were prepared" Shikaku nodded his head appreciatively smiling at me, "Always dattebayo" I said smiling.

"Yep, I had a shadow clone do it while we talked and I began reading" I said nodding at his perceptive skills. "Great work. I want a run down of what they all do later though. Okay my cute little students let's head on over to a different training ground to start our day" Kakashi said eye smiling at us. Standing I created a small gust of wind with pure chakra and covered the seals for us to use the next time we meet there. Nodding at Kakashi the three of us began to follow him as we walked to training grounds 9.
