Sorry about last time, I don't know what came over me?

Naruto: It's cool. A little pride is ok, but overdoing it isn't good for you.

Zabuza: And it showed with your oversized head, how it happened we'll never know.

Firebird: *stares blankly at Zabuza* what are you doing here? I haven't introduced you yet in the story.

Zabuza: Because I'm your awesome best friend that always hangs out with you.

Firebird: You're also the reason that I'm broke with all the property damage you cause.

Zabuza: I wasn't in the right state of mind when all of that happened.

Firebird: That's because you were either too drunk or high to be in a right state of mind in the first place. And kid's, that's why alcohol and drugs are bad for you.

Zabuza: But drugs and liquor are so much fun.

Firebird: Seriously, do you have a drinking problem?

Zabuza: No, I have no problems drinking.

Firebird: *sigh* forget it; I'm responding to the reviewers…Wow, no questions to answer this time but a lot of praise for the story, thank you. And I'm glad everyone understands the Mizuki vs. Naruto fight so I was worried over nothing.

Poll is now up for harem, visiting my profile to place your input. If it's a go for the harem it will be Hinata and two other girls, I might add one more if I feel like it but other than that no more. The poll will end after the wave ark. So if you want to have it a harem or not, you have to vote, if you don't and it ends up the way you don't want it all you can blame is yourself.

Zabuza, sense you're here you might as well do the disclaimer for me

Zabuza: Firebird doesn't own Naruto, and where the hell is my spinoff!

Ch. 7 First day in the village

04:13 Hokage's office

Naruto and the old Hokage entered the office with the former closing the door and placing a sound and a sight blocking seal to prevent someone with a dōjutsu from reading their lips during their private conversation. As the old man took a seat at his desk, Naruto looked everywhere around the office to make sure no one is eavesdropping. After some time the blond asked the Hokage, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, you have ANBU in here right now?"

"No, you said you wanted to talk in private…" he said only to be cut off by Naruto staring at him intensely as if looking for any kind of deceit.

After a minute the blond smiled, "That's good, but you might want to cover your ears."

Looking a little confused by the strange request, Hiruzen complies by listening to the somewhat bipolar blond in the room. And then said blond got out both Love and Peace and shot at five random spots in the office.

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

And then five bodies fell to the floor that look like ANBU but have blank masks with the kanji for root on them. The old man was shocked by both how the blonds weapons seemingly killed five ANBU like it was nothing and that his rival Danzō still has ROOT open when he ordered it to be discontinued in the first place. It unnerved him that this boy could kill him so easily without feeling even remotely affected.

Just as fast Naruto shot the ANBU not loyal to the old man he put them away and sat down on one of the chairs in front of the desk casually, "We can talk now that the ANBU clearly not loyal to you are indisposed of. Let's start with introductions; I'm Naruto U. N. Hayabusa and I have a feeling that you know what the U and N stand for."

Hiruzen shakily spoke as he didn't believe what he was hearing, "U-U-Uzumaki and N-N-N-Namikaze, h-h-h-how?"

Naruto sighed already tired, "You might as well get comfy because it's a long story, and I'd appreciate it that you don't interrupt me as well as hold all questions till the end." The old man nodded. "Well it all started with…" and he told his and Kurama's tale leaving nothing out.

04:53 a little over a half hour later

After it was told, Hiruzen wondered if all he ever knows about the fox was a lie. He was under the impression that Kyūbi…no Kurama was a demon that if free destroys all life in existents, but from what Naruto was saying is that Kurama is actually the victim in a Senju/Uchiha rivalry gone too far. He was going to say that he might be tricking his host, but as if Naruto knew what he was thinking leaked a little killing intent to get him to think otherwise.

And if that's not too much, then the idea of Naruto being raised in the future sounded completely ridicules. Keep in mind that hearing about a future without chakra and technology being a little more advanced, any other ninja would think it was ridiculous too. But the proof that he had was enough to say he wasn't lying, especially the music device he calls an iPod that played what he called Baby's Got Back which is something he expected to come from Kumo.

After soaking it all in, Hiruzen asked the one question that needed to be asked, "So now what do we do from here?"

"Well from what I told you before I want to enroll as one of your shinobi and I need the keys to my parents' house," the blond said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Um… Ok. Before you officially become a Konoha shinobi I need to know of what you can do so I can give you a rank," the old village leader said.

Naruto thought for a moment to measure his own skills, "Well for taijutsu I would say around mid-chūnin, the only thing holding me back is the lack of fast opponents that I faced so once I spar with a jōnin it will go up. My ninjutsu a high-jōnin, I know wind and fire jutsus and how to manipulate the same two elements as well as the Kage Bushin, the Henge, Kawarimi and the Rasengan,that my father's soul left me over a year ago and I even completed it but I can't use it without the fox's chakra which I got control over. My genjutsu a low-chūnin, all I can do is dispel them with either Kurama or myself doing it unless it's made by the Sharingan and thanks to my horrible chakra control I can't progress any further in the field. Kenjutsu and weapons is a high-kage, I'm not only a master of duel bladed combat but I also have a lot of toys that haven't been seen before so no one knows how to counter them. For fūinjutsu is high-kage or beyond, I have studied and memorized every seal that Kurama knows as well as make my own, my gun's run on seals allowing me to have it function as a normal gun, shoot out elemental jutsus as well as add wind to my projectiles. I could go on about how it works but we don't have time. I have limitless stamina due to be being Kurama's jinchūriki, which led to me being able to train harder than any human known in the future. I even have gravity seals that multiply my weight, I now have it set to 8x my normal weight. And I'm highly intelligent, right from when I was born I was taught everything my parents know and they taught me how to play a mean game of shogi. All in all I'd say I would be a jōnin in rank."

All the old man could do was open his mouth in shock. This boy managed to be a prodigy made under their noses; he's even greater than Itachi when he was an ANBU caption at age thirteen. And thinking at the battle with Mizuki he witnessed threw his crystal ball before he got there; Naruto was just toying with him. Closing his mouth he asked, "Who in the world taught you?"

"Well my adopted family handled my physical and mental abilities and I greatly increased my physical training a year ago, but Kurama taught me how to use chakra and my chakra based skills like sealing and to channel chakra correctly," Naruto told Hiruzen.

"Unfortunately I can't start you out as a jōnin right away but due to your skills and if I can get Inoichi to show me your life to prove you can do all of that you clam, I'll make you a special jōnin then later I can promote you to regular jōnin," the Hokage offered.

The blond thought it over with his foxy friend with a faraway look in his eyes, 'What do you think Kurama?'

'Hum…As long as you keep both the identity of being a jinchūriki and Minato's son tight lipped it'll be ok, because the man that release me not only wanted my power and most likely will come after it again but he also held hatred for your father for some reason as well,' Kurama told his partner the best course of action and he agreed.

He then lost that look and said, "I'll agree to those terms but both my identity as Minato's son and jinchūriki status must be kept from everyone but you, Inoichi as he'll find out when he peers into my memories and anyone that was close to my father as they will find out on their own, at least till the time is right. The reason why is that according to Kurama I'll have people after me for either being the son of the Yondaime or Jinchūriki of Kurama."

The Sandaime thought this over and nodded in approval, "I'll accept your terms and not reveal this to anyone but the people mentioned, and there are only two people that were close to your father. One happens to be your godfather and a student of mine; he's not in the village right now as he has his own spy network he maintains for the village which I'll send a message to come back to the village as soon as possible. But the second one is a jōnin and your father's only living student. I'll have him come over with Inoichi when we're ready, just don't be surprised if he's two hours late." The old man opened a drawer, took out an orange book, bit his finger to draw out blood and smeared it inside of the drawer. As the blood touched the bottom a poof of smoke appears and when it's clear he has a map and a tri-pronged kunai with a line of seals on the handle, "this map will show you were your home is if you constantly feed it your chakra and this kunai is the key, all he said about it is that you would know how to use it. Now head home, gets some rest, get settled it and report back here tomorrow at 13:00 for your initiation."

Naruto took the items and held out his hand and said casually, "Thanks jiji for this opportunity and I'll make this village proud." Then he left to find his house in the village.

As he watched the retreating form of his successor's son he couldn't help but think, 'I know you will Naruto-kun, and I'm glad you were alive all this time.'

06:07 Edge of Konohagakure

It took him nearly an hour but he finally found the place. Now all that was left is to get through the big wooden gate full of seals that were made to repel intruders and a spiral lock that's similar to the lock for Kurama's cage. He looks at the kunai and the lock then he gets an idea. He inserts the kunai into the spiral with all three blades in the lock and he rotates it 90o clockwise and the spiral follows till it nearly disappears letting the gate open for the first time in almost 13 years.

He enters the yard and couldn't help but muse that it was a beautiful lawn at a time. It was spacious but with some patches of dead and overgrown grass all over, a large garden with wilted flowers of mostly roses, tulips and daffodils that dominated the area, and a koi pond that's full of yellow dirty water and dead koi fish due to neglect. But despite how bad it looked now, with a little work it'll be back and more beautiful than ever. He takes the tri-pronged kunai, closes the gate and locks it back up before entering the modest looking two story house that he would find in the wealthy neighborhoods in Japan. It was clearly not painted any color leaving it the color of the wood, blue traditional tiling on the roof and the door was littered with seals to further enforce security just in case someone got over the gate. Looking at it for a moment he found it to be an I.D seal that would only let his parent in, but since he's there son and there for a mix of their chakra as are every kid is to their parents it would let him in.

He put his hand on the door, pumped his chakra into the seal and the door opened for him letting him inside. He first saw a vast living area with a couch, a few chairs with tables by the chairs with reading lamps all facing a fireplace and all of it was covered in dust. Right next to it was a kitchen with a fridge filled with spoiled food, a stove, shelves and counters filled with hopefully nonperishables, in the middle of the kitchen is an island with four stools making him think that they ate there and all of that too is covered in dust. He then found two sets of stares, one going up and the other going down. Since he was tired he went up knowing the bedrooms are most likely there. When he got up there he opened the closest door that led to a guest room with a twin sized bed, a small nightstand with a lamp on top and a dresser on the opposite wall as the bed. He dropped his suitcase and fell face down on the bed with dark colored sheets letting sleep take him.

11:47 Naruto's house

After about five hours of sleep Naruto got up and opened his suit case to get out his black scroll. He unrolled it and unsealed some of its contents which happened to be a whole lot of cleaning supplies. He made 40 clones and assigned them jobs, "Ok, I want you in groups of five. Team one handles the living room while team two tackles the kitchen. Team three gets the bathroom up here while teams four through six get the rooms. Team seven cleans whatever's in the basement and team eight cleans the lawn to the best of your abilities. In the mean time I'll be out to convert the gold we collected throughout the years and convert it to the currency that the village uses as well as do some grocery shopping and seeing if I can find a landscaper in the village. Now go grab what supplies you need and get to work, I want this place spotless by the time I get back. Understood?" he got a chorus of "Hai boss" and he left the clones to their work.

15:13 Market district Konohagakure

After getting all 250ibs of gold that he earned for the missions he went on with his family and later on solo missions as well as his winnings from the casinos back where he was raised converted to ryō from the bank, it turned out to be about a little over 50 million ryō (approximately 5.5 million US dollars) leaving the workers slacked jawed at the amount. They tried to convince Naruto to open a checking account only to be denied as it's safer on his person sealed in a scroll with an I.D seal on it. Now he has money to hire some professional landscapers to fix the yard and for groceries.

As he was browsing the fruit stalls he spots a familiar head of blue hair so he headed over to her. "Hey Hinata-chan," he called out to her.

Said girl turned her head to look at the boy that saved her last night causing her to blush, "N-Naruto-kun, what are you doing here?"

He gave her a cheesy grin that sent shivers down her spine, "Well I just got a place and I'm buying some fresh produce so I can have a stocked kitchen. But I don't know my way around here so I was hoping that you could show me around," he said hopping she would so he could spend more time with her.

After looking at her feet and poking her fingers with a blush on her face she said, "O-o-o-o-ok, I-I-I-I'll show you a-around."

And he went on a tour of the village with Hinata as his lovely tour guide. She showed him the public bathhouses, the many stores that are in the village as he bought the produce he needed and sealed it inside of a small green scroll, the local parks where they ended up swinging on a swing set like they were five, the many training grounds where shinobi practice their skills in the ninja art, and all of the restaurants like the Yakiniku Q, a Gyū-Kaku-style yakiniku restaurant which specializes in barbecue beef, the local bars where the senor shinobi hang out, a bakery where he bought some cinnamon buns to Hinata's delight and in return he found Ichiraku's, a family owned ramen bar that serves miso ramen which happens to be his favorite his favorite.

And that's where they are now, with Hinata still on her first bowl while Naruto's on his tenth with the owner/cook who's named Teuchi, his daughter who introduced herself as Ayame and herself staring in awe as he devoured the noodle dish, "Keep them coming old man, this is the best ramen I've ever had in my life and I traveled all over the world too!" he yelled for more as if ten wasn't enough.

The old man breaks out of his musing and goes back in the kitchen to whip up more for the hungry blond, "Coming right up!"

As Teuchi is in the kitchen Naruto started off with some small talk, "Thanks again for showing me around, if it weren't for you I would have never come across a place like this."

"I-I-It was n-nothing," she answered shyly.

"So, what's life like in Konoha?" he asks.

"Um…well it's ok. T-the people are n-nice and it is w-warm all year round. If only my family was the same." She said the last part quietly to herself not wanting her friend to hear about her problems.

But thanks to his enhanced sense of hearing he caught it, "What do you mean by that, why would your family not be like that?"

She thought about telling him but pulled back, "Um…n-never mind, I don't want to t-trouble you with my problems."

Naruto knew something was bothering her but let it go for now with giving her some advice, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but you will feel better if you do tell someone who's willing to listen. If there's something on your mind don't hesitate to talk to me, you wouldn't trouble me at all as I like listening to you."

She was blushing up a storm and was failing to hide it from everyone's view. After she got control over the color of her face she said, "T-thank you Naruto-kun, b-but I still don't feel r-ready to share what I feel right now."

"That's quite alright, we are entitled to our secrets after all," he said having some of his own.

It was silent again but this time awkward until Hinata took the initiative, keeps the conversation going not noticing that her stutter vanished, "Um…where did you live before coming to Konoha?"

"Well, it's a land far, far away…" and he told her what his life was like with Sam, John and A.J without telling her he was raised from the future, about Kurama, kept it vague when it came to when they died and when it came to why he came here he told her that he found out that his birth parents lived here and he traveled a long way to get here. And Hinata listened, learning as much about the mystery that's known as Naruto U. N. Hayabusa.

20:05 on the way to Hyūga compound

They talked at Ichiraku's for hours about a little of their lives, but all things must come to an end especially if it's getting dark. So we find Naruto walking Hinata home as to him is the way a man should treat a lady. But she kept on protesting, "Y-you don't have to walk me home, I-I'll be fine."

But he kept on insisting, "And I said it was fine, it's on the way to my place. And what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't escort a lady to her home?"

She blushed at being called a lady and tries to keep protesting but they already made it to the gates of the Hyūga compound, "T-thank you for today Naruto-kun."

"It's I that should be thanking you. You showing me around will help me a lot in the long run and the next time your free we should hang out again," he suggested.

"I'd like that," she said to herself. Hinata looked at Naruto as he was walking away and waved, "Buy Naruto-kun." Then she went inside in the first time since her mother died with a happy face. As she was about to enter her room and without turning greets the person behind her, "Good night Neji-nii-san."

Said man, a year older than Hinata with the same eyes and skin tone as her and long black hair tied in a loose ponytail. He wears a khaki shirt, under which he wore a dull blue shirt with mesh armor underneath it, dark brown shorts, and blue shinobi sandals. He also had bandages wrapped around his right arm, chest, and right leg. And his normal cold look is replaced by one of surprise, not by the fact she detected him but by being happy. Normally she would stay quiet unless spoken too like a good girl. Now is if her mood pulled a 360 for who knows what. Well he was going to find out and take it away from her to make her learn her rightful place as fate dictates.

20:41 Naruto's Home

As he entered through the gate he looked at the lawn and found the grass cut with the weeds pulled out, the garden stripped bare for the replanting of new flowers and the Koi pond a little less yellow and void of any dead fish. When he went inside he found that the place was void of dust with some of the furniture he had with him from the future set up like his 42'' widescreen TV with DVD player, Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 and next to the TV is a book shelf full of DVD's and video games fill the selves. And all of his clones are sitting either on the couch, one of the chairs or on the floor watching a movie.

When they heard there master walk in they turned and shouted, "Where the hell were you, boss?" "We finished hours ago!" "We put our stuff away without you!" "We even went through a whole season of Bleach!"

The real Naruto just put his hands up to shut up his doppelgangers', "Settle down. And if you must know I met up with Hinata-chan and she gave me a tour of the village. Now dispel yourselves, one group at a time." And as they did he discovered the other rooms he didn't come across that his clones did.

The kitchen was sparkling with the fridge being so old that the old one was trashed and replaced with the one he had and the stove's burners were busted so his clones drew fire elemental converting seals to where the burners were and chakra channeling seals so when he cooks he can channel his chakra safely. And all of the spoiled food in the pantries was indisposed of.

There was also a library full of scrolls that had several jutsus and sealing formulas written in them and a few books that are like the one Hiruzen had in the drawer that he got the key and map out of. And a desk that was obviously used for studying on scrolls and writing up seals with a pile of blank scrolls on the floor and a bottle of ink and line of brushes of many sizes all lined up in a neat and tidy fashion.

Up stares in the rooms were now spotless and surprisingly nothing needed to be either fixed or replaced. There were three rooms, one guest room where he slept, a master bedroom with a king sized bed with a red comforter over yellow sheets and matching pillow cases with a night stand and lamp on each side of the bed, the corner has a shrine that's dedicated to his late family with their group picture in a new frame and incents that are ready to be lit whenever he wanted to pray to them, a dresser and two doors; one that leads to a closet full of clothes and the other to a master bathroom with an oversized tub, toilet and sink with a mirror above it. And a nursery with light blue wallpaper, a crib with orange and white sheets and a red chair in the corner hinting that was once his and he kept the way it was for personal reasons, as he was viewing the memory he couldn't help but let out a tear from his eye.

Down stares is an empty cellar that he put his weapon, vehicle and miscellaneous scroll, some of his wine that he gathered from Europe and all over in his travels and a washer and dryer that was already there.

And outside there was also both a blank area he plans to make into a training ground and a privet hot spring that still works perfectly, he might even try it later next week.

After reviewing the memories of the house he first put up the food he bought today in the kitchen then headed to the master bedroom and headed to bed as he had a long day tomorrow.

14:58 Hokage's office May 2

Today is the day, After Naruto got up at 06:00 sharp (a habit he picked up from Sam getting him up every day for nearly 10 years) he did his normal warm up for the day meeting some colorful people along the way, then he had a hearty breakfast of eggs and pancakes with a large glass of milk, he later trained at one of the training grounds to pass the time before lunch where he went to Ichiraku's for some ramen and finally he arrived for his appointment with the Hokage to get him in the ranks of the shinobi. All is going well except one person hasn't showed up and he's almost two hour's late. At his desk is the Hokage and by the door is a man with long blond hair reaching into his back, which he wore spiky on top and ending in a long ponytail, blue-green eyes and strong facial features, which included a well-defined jaw line. He is wearing the standard flak jacket over a black outfit, complete with hand-guards, forehead protector and a sleeveless red haori. Hiruzen introduced him as Inoichi to the young blond.

Well luckily for Naruto he's got someone to help him pass the time as he was sitting on the floor in a meditative position conversing with Kurama. 'So, what's Kakashi like?' he asked.

'Well the first time Kushina met him he was so uptight for a kid but after he lost both his teammates overtime he started to get depressed and enlisted in ANBU with nothing to lose, eventually becoming a captain of his own squad,' Kurama answered for him.

'I'm not going to get along with him, am I?' the blond summed up what his partner told him.

The fox added, 'Keep in mind that my information's 12 ½ years old. All I can say is who knows.'

And then in a poof of smoke a tall fair-skinned man with spiky white hair, one visible dark eye as his other one's covered by his forehead protector, a face mask that covers half of his face and he wears the slandered Konoha shinobi uniform with fingerless gloves with metal plates on the backs of them. He appears to be relaxed and laid-back but as Naruto looked closer he was in a ready stance just in case he had to take action.

When the smoke cleared out he gave everybody in the room an embarrassed eye smile, "Sorry I'm late, an old lady needed help crossing the street but there was a black cat so we had to take the long way around and I got lost to the road to life."

The old man just sighed, "Just get in here so I can get this meeting started."

As Naruto was placing the sound and sight seals in the room and scanned for any unwanted guests, satisfied for finding none he nods at the Hokage and stands right next to him as Inoichi and Kakashi stand in front of the desk facing the other two.

As Naruto was doing that Kurama was shocked at the Kakashi he sees now, 'What the hell happened to him while I was gone. He went from up tight over achiever to a lazy smart ass that's expected to be late. What's next is he going to be an open pervert?' And as if on cue he pulls out a orange book from one of the pockets on his flak jacket and reads it, 'Seriously, what the fuck happened when I was gone!?'

Naruto picked his ear with his pinky due to his partner freaking out, 'What's the problem Onii-san? He's way better than you put him out to be.'

'He's just changed a lot since the last time I saw him. I suspect he's baked as a potato,' Kurama said suggesting that the cyclops was high.

Internally Naruto was staring at the fox like he's gone insane, 'What are you talking about? Marijuana doesn't even exist in this time,' he said.

'But they have certain herbs that if smoked can cause similar effects,' Kurama countered getting an internal sigh from his host.

'Whatever, but I still say he's not high judging by the stance he holds. He may look relaxed but if you looked closer at his hands they were close to the many pouches so he can pull out a kunai at a moment's notice,' Naruto rebutted Kurama's earlier statement. Kurama didn't say anything more on the subject telling him that he won this round.

Without looking away from his erotic litterateur he asked, "Why did you call us and who's the kid?"

The old man took a deep breath awaiting the mass of emotions that Kakashi will show, "Kakashi you were right, he is alive. And two nights ago we found him, or to be more accurate he found us."

When Naruto was declared dead only one person didn't believe it or he was in a state of eternal denial, that person was Kakashi. When he heard that there was no body of his sensei's child he knew that he didn't die so he went on as many ANBU missions as he could that went all over the world to look for the child hoping he found him alive and unharmed. He even convinced the toad sennin Jiraiya to keep an eye out for him in his travels. And 12 ½ years later he's still looking for him, and he is finally found.

The reaction was immediate, Kakashi slowly lost his grip on his book and it fell towards the ground with a wide eye expression and if you look closely there was a tear leaking out of the eye. "I-I-is he?" he asked pointing a shaking finger at the blond with a hat.

"Yes he's Naruto U. N. Hayabusa, son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki," Hiruzen said getting a shocked look from the other man in the room.

"B-but I thought M-Minato sacrificed his s-son to vanquish the beast to an-nother realm never to r-return," Inoichi said in a shaky voice.

"That's what we all were leaded to believe, but I was told otherwise. You two were brought here for different reasons. We needed you Inoichi to scan and project his mind for proof of his skills so I can give him an appropriate rank. And Kakashi since you were close to Minato and to a lesser extent Kushina you would have found out eventually according to Naruto. We would of hade Jiraiya join us but is unenviable at the time. Now Naruto just sit and relax as Inoichi will look into your mind and project it on the wall for all of us to see," he told everybody to make sure they knew what to do.

After Naruto sat on a chair facing the opposite way of the wall and the mind walker was about to do his deed he told them, "Ok we'll allow you to see our life and achievement's, nothing else. I'll help guide you to the right memories and if I or Kurama see you dig up more than you should, then we'll show you an image so disturbing you won't be able to sleep for years."

Said man felt a shiver go up his spine knowing that the boy will hold true to his promise, "Ok, just close your eyes and relax," he instructed. Naruto did as he was told as the Yamanaka put his right hand over his forehead and they both stood still. For what seemed like forever Inoichi's eyes opened up and light shot out of them like a movie projector. 'So that's why they don't have pupils,' the old man and Kakashi mused.

On the human projector showed what happened in Naruto's life in a land they haven't seen before, from when he was an infant being taught at a rapid paste to his physical training as a ninja. They almost had a heart attack when Naruto almost willingly let Kurama out but was surprised by the fox preventing the child from doing so to know why. As they heard the blonde's speech they reflected on the hate they hold for the beast and when they concluded that there hate was directed from the wrong source they felt like shit. And if they were shocked before, they were gob smacked of the realization that Kurama escaped to the future but got sealed within Naruto bringing him along. Then his training in chakra with his first jutsu the Kage Bushin no Jutsu, a B-Rank kinjutsu done by a six year old was thought of as impossible till they saw it happen. Then his marksman training showing off his skills with weapons never even heard of, it's a good thing Danzō wasn't here to see this. They observed his strength, speed, stamina and tactical skills based of the memories he's showing. When they got to the day where he lost everything they felt sympathetic towards the blond, more so with Kakashi as he too lost everyone he was close to as well. The memory skipped to him in his Bijū Mode training showing them that his strength and speed increase as well as his jutsus' getting a boost in power. He is shown to perform the Rasengan as well as other versions, one of which is a completed version with the wind element added to it. Finally he is seen in various climates training, at one point he's in a scorching desert and the next he's on an iceberg in what looks like frozen weather and the next he's climbing one of those huge structures that they've seen in his memories using the tree climbing exercise while maintaining two Rasengans, one in each hand with pieces of paper he ripped out of a notebook sticking all over his body. Kakashi was thankful his "rival" wasn't here as he would not shut up about the spring time of youth that Naruto was showing.

Finally the show ended as Inoichi closed his eyes and the two came back to reality. But as soon as the mind walker gained control over his body he stumbles back emotionally exhausted and strangely frightened. The old man and Kakashi came to his side in an instant, "Inoichi-san, are you alright," Kakashi asked in concern for his fellow Konoha shinobi.

All the old blond did was shake and stutter, "I-I-I-I'm n-n-n-n-not g-g-g-g-g-going in t-t-t-t-t-there a-a-a-a-again."

The two other shinobi look at Naruto accusingly as he lets out a nervous laugh, "Sorry about that, I should have warned you about that particular memory. Kurama may tolerate humans now but he still has his pride."

Before Kakashi could question what Inoichi saw the Hokage coughed loudly to get everyone's attention, "Now that we reviewed Naruto-kun's…interesting life. Kakashi, what do you think?"

"Well for someone his age his resume is impressive, he even learned to use his chakra in a world that doesn't have it in the first place. But despite his experience in assassination and espionage his fastest opponent was so slow I was slowly falling asleep just following the movements. I don't think he's ready for jōnin yet but if he spars with other jōnin to improve his hand-eye coordination then he'll be ready," he evaluated, giving his own opinion as a jōnin.

Hiruzen nods in understanding as Naruto told him the same thing but in more detail. He turns to the recovering Inoichi, "And you Inoichi?"

The old blond forcefully recovered from his shaking and told everyone on his thoughts on Naruto, "He would make an exceptional squad leader with more experience. At his state right now he couldn't take a jōnin but in time that could change. I recommend him to be a special jōnin for a while then promote him when we think he's ready."

The Hokage opened one of the drawers and took out a forehead protector, "Then I've decided. Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Hayabusa, I hereby appoint you as a special jōnin to Konohagakure." He tossed it to Naruto who soon caught it, "For a few weeks I will have Kakashi train you to get you up to snuff till I assign you to a squad. You are now dismissed. And his identity as either the son of Minato, being an Uzumaki and his status as a jinchūriki is an S-rank secret that if spoken to anyone will be killed on the spot and the only ones that are an exception are Naruto and I."

He gave a two finger salute they saw him do with his superiors in his memories thus recognizing it as something similar to a bow that they use to show respect as the other two bowed normally and all of them said in unison, "Hai, Hokage-sama!"

Naruto deactivated the seals in the office then turned to the jōnin that was assigned to him awaiting his orders, "Meet me at training ground 3 tomorrow at 08:00 sharp and don't eat breakfast, you'll puke. Ja ne," he then disappeared in the same manner he entered.

Inoichi came up to his fellow blond and bowed, "Your father's a great man and an even greater shinobi that I owe my live to. If you ever need anything just ask Naruto-san."

Naruto was about to respectfully decline but stopped himself and said, "Well, do you know of any professional landscapers in the village? You see when I inherited my parents' place the yard was withered by neglect, I managed to cut the grass, empty the garden and almost clean the now empty koi pond. All I need is for someone that knows what there doing to help me plant new flowers and shrubs and finish cleaning the pond with adding new koi fish."

"My clan owns a flower shop and I know several landscapers all around Hi no Kuni. My family can supply the flowers and shrubs and I can contact a buddy to come over for a fair deal. Just tell me what your budget is and I'll try to work around that," he said doing his best to help his late friend's son.

Naruto just shrugged, "Just pick who's the most trustworthy as cost doesn't matter right now and I have a plan drew up as to what I want it to look like." He got a folded piece of paper out of one of the storage seals from his trench coat and handed it to him, "But the flowers I'll have you suggest sense if you can tell I'm color blind," Naruto joked getting a chuckle from Inoichi. "And I'm in no rush so just contact me when you have a set date for the construction."

"Be thankful you're not wearing a "Kill me" orange jumpsuit," he joked right back getting a shiver of dread from Naruto, "I'll get on it right away, just meet me at Yamanaka Flowers in the market district on the tenth between 09:00 to 20:00 to set up the order and sometime that week we'll get started but I'll make sure it's done at the end of the next week at the most, sooner if you don't have much added to the yard."

"Don't worry, all that has to be done is the gardening and I'll take care of everything else. And I'll be there, dattebayo!" Naruto immediately covered his mouth and blushed in embarrassment.

Inoichi just chuckled and said, "Just like Kushina. See you around Naruto-san," and he waved as he left the office.

Naruto waved to Hiruzen as he to exited, "See you later juju!"

Once everyone was gone the old man closed his door, sat down in his desk and got out a similar orange book that Kakashi had, 'I'm not that old, am I?' he thought slightly depressed. 'At least I still got you,' he then opened the book, immediately afterwards blood came out of his nose and let out a perverted giggle, 'You did it again my formal student.'

OMAKE

Two Beautiful Green Beasts and One Annoyed Red Beast

06:55 Konohagakure May 2

As Naruto was running laps around the village as part of his daily workout, two of the strangest people he's ever seen show up at his side joining him. A man and a boy Naruto's age, they both had black hair in a bowl cut and ridiculously huge eyebrows but the former has high cheek bones while the later has a round face with giant eyes with what seems to be eyelashes hanging at the bottom and a tinny nose. Both were dressed in a green skin tight jumpsuit, orange leg warmers and a red forehead protector worn as a belt with the older one wearing an unzipped flak jacket while the younger has bandages on both forearms and hands.

Once the older one notices Naruto said blond got a shiver down his spine, "Hello my new youthful friend, you joining us for our youthful morning warm-up to jumpstart the springtime's of youth!?"

All Naruto could do was stare blankly at him, 'Is this guy for real?'

Once Kurama got a good look from the two he slapped his forehead in frustration, 'Dear Kami, not this ass clown again and somehow he's got a mini-me.'

'Do you know this guy?' His container asked him.

Kurama just sighed in annoyance, 'Yes, just smile and nod and maybe they'll go away.'

After the brief warning from the fox he greeted the green duo, "Names Naruto U. N. Hayabusa and I just got here Friday night."

"I'm Konoha's Sublime Green Beast of Prey, Might Guy! And this is my youthful student and Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee!" The older man said introducing himself giving a thumb up and a smile that pinged probably from the morning sun.

Then the boy spoke up, "It's nice to meat one such as youthful as you, Naruto-kun. I know the most youthful way to make this better, how about a race?!"

"Yoshi! That is what youth is all about! Last one there has to go around the village on his hands!" Guy said with all the enthusiasm he could muster.

"With balancing a boulder on their feet after eating a hot bowl of curry!" Lee continued for his sensei.

Guy started to cry rivers of tears, "Lee, I'm so proud that you are fully embracing the spring times of youth!"

Lee mimicked his doppelganger's actions, "Guy-sensei!"

"Lee!" he repeated.

At this point as the duo passionately repeated each other's name, both Naruto and Kurama had a bad feeling in the pit of their stomachs, 'Run kit, run!' the fox yelled in warning for his container.

'Already on it!' the blond said as he released his gravity seals and ran faster than a speeding bullet away from the insane green duo.

When they finished their embrace they looked around to find Naruto not there, "Wasn't our new youthful friend here a minute to go?" Guy said in wonder then shrugged, "He must have already started ahead of us! We just have to catch up by utilizing the power of youth!" And with a "Hai Guy-sensei" from Lee, the Sublime Green Beast went on ahead with his protégé.

But the green beasts didn't see Naruto for the rest of the day and in the end Lee lost so he had to obey the conditions he set. But Guy joined him anyway and they both ate hot curry then walked around the village on their hands while balancing a giant rock with their feet.

My first OMAKE, hope you liked it as there are more on the way.

As usual, please review.
