Disclaimer: don't own Naruto, Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze, daughter of Naruto is a possibility, but doubtful.

Chapter 7: fast forward

A week has passed since Kushina's meeting with the Council. In their few hours available to them, Hiruzen and Kushina kicked out Kakashi and Naruto. The old man and the red head began developing Kushina's lying skills. It didn't take long because of Kushina's drive to protect her nii-san. It was a matter of control, and Kushina has plenty of control. She just didn't know where to focus on. Kushina just had to shift her focus on her heart rate, sweat control, and many other things. Kushina got the hang of lying so quickly, that Hiruzen had difficult time discovering if what Kushina said was either a lie or the truth. although Most of the time, Hiruzen known Kushina lies and as Hokage, he dealt with plenty of liars. So he was experienced at detecting lies. Unlike many of the civilian council and some of the clan heads.

The main problem was Hiashi Hyuga, his blood line limit, the Byakugan made it difficult for Kushina to lie. However Hiruzen was prepared. Throughout his years as Hokage, he knew there was a limit to nearly everything. The Byakugan was no exception. He quickly knew a genjutsu strong enough to fool the Byakugan, it work similar to Ranmaru's ability, companion of Raiga, of the 7 swordsmen. However it came with the need for large amount of chakra and chakra control. Before the meeting, Kushina had a genius Idea in fooling the byakugan. She made a Kage bunshin, henged the clone as a mini Kushina, and stuffed the clone into Hiruzen's pocket. There the clone supplied Hiruzen with the needed Chakra, and successfully fooled Hiashi's byakugan. , and the fact that Hiruzen used his genjutsu to make Hiashi believe that Kushina will never lie. To be on the safe side. If the byakugan couldn't detect the genjutsu, then regular eyes could never. So Kushina got away with lying, with a little help with genjutsu. However, one Shibi Aburame easily discovered it. He said nothing as he knew something was going on between Kushina and the Sandaime, and did not wish to sabotage it.

Danzo, Koharu, and Homura mainly asked questions like her abilities, which Kushina responded with.

"jounin level Taijutsu, medical ninjutsu, Katon and Futon ninjutsu, and a good array of ninjutsu and genjutsu." the civilian council and the clan heads couldn't detect the lie, for that was actually a truth. Everyone stared at Kushina, the ability to use Futon jutsu is rare. There was only one other futon user. News about Kushina's ability of Medical ninjutsu also gave some glances. The fact that the girl has two elemental affinities is also something not to scoff at. The civilian council actually questioned on Kushina's plans on training the Uchiha. She gave a Danzo like answer.

"I plan on teaching the Uchiha my Katon jutsu, once the Uchiha awakens the Sharingan, I will permit him to copy my jutsu" again the council couldn't detect lies. Danzo was surprised at the answer, but Kushina absolutely seethed at the idea of the Uchiha copying her jutsu. Next was Tsume. She asked about her time in the Anbu, was she happy, and any questions regarding the Anbu. Her last question surprised Kushina. It was.

"what made you want to be a Jounin sensei?" Kushina answered this one with conviction.

"it was the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. I've heard so many stories upon their teamwork. I of course didn't have a team, I was often sent alone on many missions, so I never had any real teams. When I learned the kinjutsu, the Kage bunshin" everyone looked at the girl, the Kage bunshin was a B-ranked kinjutsu, for it's dangers of chakra exhaustion. Hiruzen quickly fixed this by informing everyone that Kushina has abnormally large chakra reserves. They bought it. Kushina then continued on.

"the Kage bunshin, I used it for teamwork. However they weren't a real team. So I want a real team. I can get that by becoming jounin sensei." she finally said with conviction. Everyone believed their lie. Tsume was done with her questions after that. Hiashi didn't want anything to do with the A-ranked shinobi. He is blinded by his hatred. Shibi was usually quite. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, like their fellow clan heads didn't wish to question her.


On the second day of the week, Naruto told his nee-chan about the Kyuubi in Naruto's apartment. Kushina first was hesitant, but didn't know any Yamanaka jutsu. So they couldn't talk, however the Kyuubi just told Naruto, who told Kushina to touch Naruto's forehead, and the Kyuubi will work it from there.


Flash back. 2nd day of the week.

Kushina found herself and Naruto in a wet sewer. They walked for awhile until they found the cage of the Kyuubi. Kyuubi looked at the Namikazes. It was Kyuubi who spoke up.

"greetings child of my host." this was Kushina's first meeting with the Kyuubi, her father told her about the fox, but she didn't care, him loving her was evidence enough, no demon could love a child as much as her tou-san did. She didn't know how to respond, it was Naruto who did for her.

"okay fox! Nee-chan's here, now what do you want to talk about with her?" the Kyuubi gave a bored yawn which made sweat drops to both Namikazes. Then the Kyuubi responded.

"I've got to tell you a few things. Kushina." Kushina immediate look at her nii-san. Who replied.

"I told him about you." then the Kyuubi again spoke up.

"not only that, but I have some things to tell you. You are not the only time traveler. Your-" the Kyuubi was interrupted by none other than Kushina.

"I know, there is a possibility of another time traveler, the Sandaime Tsuchikage got assassinated, and there is a new Tsuchikage. I know I didn't cause this. It was a fake Yondaime hokage that did. I assume that he is the time traveler." Kyuubi gave a nodded, Naruto looked at his nee-chan in confusion. He just had to ask.

"what do you mean fake Yondaime?" the idea of somebody playing his dead father sickens him. Kushina turned to Naruto and replied.

"there was sightings of a fake Yondaime and he instigated a possible war. I don't know how to tell you this, but I might be sent to war very soon." Naruto looked at Kushina in horror. He immediately cried out.

"don't go! You're the best thing that ever happens to me! You're the fifth person to care! (the Sandaime, Iruka, Ayame, and Teuchi.)" Naruto hugged Kushina as if he was going to lose her. Kushina immediately responded.

"I promised myself that if I'm sent to the front lines, I swear that I will do what it takes to survive. I will survive with everything I have, just to get back to you!" Kushina said with determination. Kyuubi was eyes wide at the possibility of a war. He needed to find his partner quick before this war starts. Naruto was happy that his nee-chan will try to survive for him. It was Kyuubi who broke up the moment.

"excuse me. But I believe I know this fake Yondaime." this turned both heads to the demon fox. It was Kushina who questioned it.

"who?" the Kyuubi answered with dramatic effects.

"your tou-san, otherwise known as Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, of the future. I am sure it is him" Kushina and Naruto shook at the revelation. Naruto has the chance at meeting the future him, and Kushina shook in rage. She finally gets a chance to speak her mind against her father. Yet at the same time, Kushina was relived that she still had her father. Naruto was the first to end his shock.

"so I get to see the future me?" he asked eagerly. Kyuubi shook his head and told him.

"no, you will see a possible result of the future you. But you will never become him because of our presence" Naruto looked at the Kyuubi in confusion, Kushina knew why.

"what he means is that it is you, but it wont be you. What I mean by that is that you and the future you will experience different things, you to two will be the same in blood, but not in mind. Like right now, your experiencing having a sister, the future you did not. Therefore, your mindsets will be different, I believe for the better." the red head explained, Naruto grinned at his fortune. Kyuubi interrupted the moment with a reply.

"the future you is my partner that I was talking about. It is a necessity that I see him before this war starts. I have some matters to discuss with him. I also have to rip him apart for putting me in another cage!" Kyuubi snickered and whispered the last part to himself so neither Namikazes heard him. Kushina finally shook off her shock and spoke up.

"so tou-san is out there? Good, I want to give him a piece of my mind!" Kushina said. It was Kyuubi who snickered in response.

"ah, so we have something in common, other than fur color. I want to talk to him for putting me in this cage again!" Kyuubi roared out. Kushina ignored the color comment then mentally though out.

'tou-san's here, I don't know what to feel, what will he say when he finds out his younger self likes me? I gotta stop nii-san from liking me!' Kushina mentally panicked. Her nii-san's ridiculous crush on her gives her the wrong vibes. She needed to have that talk with Naruto immediately afterwards. It was the Kyuubi that gave more information.

"that's all I wish to inform you about. Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. There is also a probability that the future Sasuke Uchiha is here too" Kyuubi informed. Naruto was confused. Kushina paled.

'The future Sasuke? Here!? Who knows what he has done to the time line yet? Three time travelers? History will never follow what it has been!?' Kushina mentally screamed. The idea of three time travelers made her feel insignificant, the future Naruto, Sasuke and herself in the past. Changing who knows what will happen, she was broken from her stupor when the Kyuubi spoke to Naruto.

"you. You have the ultimate control over your… nee-chan here, you must mate with the girl's mother." Naruto paled. Kushina understood too. suddenly her nii-san immediately shouted out in protest.

"hell no! I don't like S-" he stopped himself, remembering who was inside. He then turned to Kushina.

"can you leave for the moment" Kushina was reluctant, but nodded, Kyuubi removed her from Naruto's mindscape. Then Naruto continued his rant.

I don't like Sakura anymore! So you can't make me like her!" it was the Kyuubi who had enough. He roared out so loudly that Naruto immediately shut himself up.

"you stupid boy! It all about the timeline! If you never go with that pink hair banshee that you used to have a crush on then Kushina will never be born! She will be removed from existence! I am nearly a millenia old! I have time traveled before! I have seen people become unborn and removed from existent! If you do not mate with the pink hair banshee then Kushina will not remain here for very long!" Naruto paled at the idea of Kushina leaving him and it would be his fault. He felt completely crushed. He liked Kushina a lot. She was the first girl at his age to ever care for him, to love him, and he felt that he had to love her back. He didn't know what to think. He genuinely didn't like Sakura anymore, and the though of him and her didn't really please him very much, he remembers all the times he asked out Sakura and all the rejections he had. Suddenly a though came up.

'What did I see in Sakura?' Naruto suddenly became depressed. He can't go out with the girl he wants to, and now he has to go out with a girl he didn't want. Things just didn't go his way anymore. He spoke up to himself.

"wh-what do I do?" although the Kyuubi responded anyways.

"it's solely up to you. You have full control over your nee-chan. If you don't mate with the pink haired banshee. Kushina will die." Naruto snapped out of his depressed mood. The though of Kushina dying by him kills him. He loves Kushina, yet doesn't like Sakura anymore.

"I-I don't like it. But fine! It's for nee-chan!" Naruto said in a brave front, but inside he was dying. Kyuubi didn't bother to notice. He ejected Naruto out of his mindscape. Naruto opened his eyes to see his nee-chan. Kushina immediately told him.

"I know what the Kyuubi meant by having full control over mean. you can do what you want." Naruto hesitated but responded.

"Kyuubi says that I have to be with Sakura. If I don't then… you will leave me." he held back tears. They again embraced each other. Kushina sighed out in frustration. She didn't like Sakura either, but then again, inside she always knew Sakura was her real mother. It was the doubt that kept her alive. With gritted teeth, she said.

"do what you want. Go for whoever you want nii-san. If you don't-" she was interrupted.

"I have to! It's for you, I don't want you to go!" Naruto complained. Things weren't going his way. They stayed like that for a few moments. Kushina and Naruto avoided the subject between them. But they couldn't stop.

"nii-san, we got to talk about those three kisses we had." both blushed. With a deep breath, Kushina started.

"that first one was simply you coming to me for comfort. Agreed?" Naruto nodded his head.

"that second one was simply for you to snap out of your depress state at the forest of death. Agreed?" Naruto again nodded.

"that third one was to make Hinata jealous agreed?" Naruto again nodded, this time reluctantly. Kushina earlier told him about Hinata in the future. As Naruto though about it. Hinata is very kind, the only person who can stand around Naruto. Back at the academy swing, Kushina whispered to Naruto for a quick make out, Kushina, being a jounin knew Hinata was stalking her nii-san, doing this would make Hinata take action. Naruto readily agreed, however Kushina was having second thoughts. So she didn't' kiss back. Hinata was supposed to marry Naruto in Kushina's mind. Stealing Naruto from her wasn't fair, and that Kushina didn't think of Naruto in the same manner as he though of her. The red headed jounin regretted ever making those kisses.


On the third day. Jiraiya finally made it to Konoha, although he didn't look for Kushina. He was indeed going back to his usual habits. The Namikazes and Jiraiya finally meet on the 7th day of the week. Their meeting didn't go well.


The 7th day. The hot springs.

Both Namikazes made their way to the hot springs, as a tip from Hiruzen, Naruto in his usual Orange jumpsuit, and Kushina in cameo, she didn't bother to wear her Jounin vest at the time. Hiruzen got the message from his Anbu that Jiraiya entered the village 4 days ago, and was disappointed that his student didn't visit him. The Namikazes heard giggling, they left to investigate. Both quickly found Jiraiya standing on top of a rock. Peeping on the women's hot springs. Kushina wide eyes cried out in sheer horror.

"Pervert!" the effect was instantaneous. Several women in the hot springs spotted Jiraiya, and quickly gave him a beat down. Much to Naruto's sudden nosebleed, Kushina's fury, and Jiraiya's plea for help. Kushina took pity on him after a few minutes, and told the ladies to stop. They reluctantly did. Kushina took the peeping tom and her nii-san to the Sandaime's office. There she was going to talk about some of the people in Hiruzen's village.


The Sandaime was reading a familiar orange book when suddenly 3 figures emerged from a smoke cloud. Kushina threw Jiraiya on the floor, but not before seeing the orange book in Hiruzen's hand. Again, Kushina gasped out in horror. Walked up to Hiruzen, stolen his perverted novel and burnt it with a weak Katon jutsu. Jiraiya and Hiruzen tried to stop her, but Kushina used her chakra chains to pin Jiraiya to the floor, and her chakra enhanced strength, she wrenched the book from Hiruzen's hands. Hiruzen tried to protest, but to his horror. It was to late. Throughout the whole time. Naruto wondered what was wrong with those orange books. So he had to ask.

"nee-chan? What's wrong with those orange books?" Kushina turned to him and with conviction said.

"those books are absolutely dirty! All those books should be burned!" Jiraiya immediately protested.

"they aren't dirty! They are the pride of the male species!" Kushina sent a killing intent on Jiraiya. Jiraiya for his part remembered that killing intent. He thought out.

'oh Kami! It's so much like Tsunade's! Oh crap! This must be Kushina!' he looked upon Kushina's whiskers, and that confirmed it. He remembered.

'"She even has my eyes and whisker marks." "I got her apprenticed under Tsunade"' the future Naruto said.' Jiraiya made a mental checklist on Kushina.

'red hair check, blue eyes check, whiskers check.' Jiraiya paled. He couldn't defend himself because he's being pinned by Kushina's chains. He's completely under Kushina's control. Hiruzen too remembered that killing intent. When Jiraiya peeped on Tsunade, everyone in Konoha felt such killing intent. He too slightly paled. He prayed that it wasn't directed on him. Naruto was confused on the whole matter. He was left in the dark. Kushina suddenly spoke.

"and you!" she indicated Hiruzen, who paled at the same level Jiraiya did. Hiruzen weakly said.

"m-me?" Kushina nodded and said.

"don't think your off the hook! I'm still coming up with a punishment worthy for the both of you!" Kushina sudden had a though.

'tou-san was responsible for the continuation of the Icha Icha! Must prevent that!' she mentally panicked. She hid it well. She went back on subject and shouted out at Jiraiya.

"why are women always the responsible ones! I could have sworn that you entered the village 4 days ago! I merely passed it off as someone having the same chakra reserves as you! Yet here you are! Why didn't you report to the Sandaime?" Kushina scolded. Jiraiya, through his paleness, spoke.

"I haven't had my weekly peeping-" wrong thing to say to Kushina. She tighten her chains. that's when Sandaime's Anbu intervened. 3 familiar Anbu again held Kunai at Kushina's throat, waist, and leg. One of them spoke.

"I must ask of you to release Jiraiya-sama please." Kushina, this time obeyed. Jiraiya gasped out for breath. Everyone calmed down and the Anbu vanished back to their hiding spot. Kushina turned to her nii-san.

"you must never, ever become one of them. Understood!" Naruto again was left behind. He didn't understand what was going on. He just nodded his head in confusion. Kushina just accepted it. Kushina then turned to the gama sennin, picked him up with her chakra enhanced strength then slammed him to the wall. Shouting out.

"I require fuinjutsu training. Teach me!" Hiruzen then told Jiraiya.

"do as she said. She requires training in that field." Jiraiya nodded then spoke up.

"so, you must be Kushina." immediately everyone got tensed. Hiruzen with wide eyes, quickly sealed the room, told his Anbu to keep Kushina's true name as an S-rank secret and kicked out his Anbu. Hiruzen scolded Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-kun! She is under the alias, Shina Uzukaze. Please use that. She already has spies on her. She doesn't need her real name spilled out." Jiraiya nodded and then apologized, suddenly serious he spoke..

"sorry Shina, but I believe that I have caught word of a fake Yondaime Hokage?" everyone silenced themselves, eager to hear what the toad sage have to say about the subject.

"I met the guy. He told me to train his daughter and you" he indicated Naruto. Naruto didn't know what to say. From the academy, he learned, through Kushina's chakra enhanced flicks, the three sennins. They were extremely powerful, and getting training from one was a surprise. He spoke weakly.

"m-me? Why me?" then Kushina intervened.

"I will teach him. I already have plans on what to teach nii-san. I need training on fuinjutsu. I have something of incredible importance that requires training in that field." Kushina said. Both Jiraiya and Hiruzen was interested. Kushina put the toad sage down, and Jiraiya had to ask.

"what might that be?" Kushina smiled and answered.

"the jutsu that made Minato Namikaze the yellow flash." everyone in the room stared at Kushina in disbelief. Kushina continued.

"for a year, I have studied on how the Hiraishin no jutsu (flying thunder god technique) works. However, I came across a tip, and I need fuinjutsu training to complete it." everyone was intrigued by the girl. Kushina then spoke up.

"I also need to learn Sage mode-" it was Jiraiya who stopped her.

"whoa now hold on. There can only be student and master. You" he indicated Naruto.

"bite your thumb, perform these hand seals, focus chakra, and slam your hand on the ground." Kushina stared at the toad sage in confusion, Naruto looked at his nee-chan for assurance. Kushina nodded, letting Naruto know to do as he was told. Naruto did as he was told and suddenly a cloud appeared where he slammed his palm on. When the cloud was removed, it revealed a tadpole. Naruto was confused throughout the thing, and Kushina was wide eyed, she cried out.

"How!? Nii-san wasn't supposed to do that, not until-" she was interrupted again.

"the fake Yondaime Hokage is the future Naruto, and what I mean by only Student and master, is that there can only be two summoners for the toad sage. Naruto from the future already signed the toad contract. So in turn, so did his younger self, thanks to both having the same blood." Jiraiya concluded. Naruto was again confused, was that supposed to happen? So what's a tadpole supposed to do? Kushina however had two different reactions. saddened and disappointment. She was saddened that her father is truly out there, for putting her in a situation like he did, and disappointment that she can't learn sage mode. She frowned at the lost of such a great ability. Hiruzen then spoke up.

"so it's true. There are multiple time travelers Kushina." he sighed. Then spoke again.

"but it was an supposed ally that instigated a possibly war." Jiraiya snapped his head to this. He shouted out.

"war? How?" it was Kushina that explained the situation.

"tou-san possibly mistakenly started a war, when he pronounced that he has a daughter back in Konoha, now I know what the Iwa nins were talking about. They were talking about me. So in turn, I just became the Yondaime's daughter. Oh joy!" Kushina explained with a sarcastic cheer at the end. Naruto smiled at the thought of Kushina being a real nee-chan. Kushina continued.

"8 days ago, we captured a pair of Iwa nins, they told us that Iwa believes the Yondaime Hokage had a daughter, which in capture, Tou-san proclaimed that he had a daughter, meaning me. At the time, a few Anbu members heard this and told their council. The council wanted revenge and took offensive. They sent a five man team to find me. They were captured near the forest of death, at that time, I was supposed to take my jounin exams, but I wasn't in the right mind for it, suddenly Sandaime, Kakashi, a group of ninjas and I detected a huge chakra spike. It turned out to be nii-san. He was fighting off the 5 ninjas, he of course, used it's power." Naruto flinched at the mentioning of what happened 8 days ago. Kushina noticed and comforted him. She apologized and continued her explanation.

"3 of them died, and Kakashi and me captured the other two." she paused thinking at what to say next. She turned to Jiraiya.

"I assume he told about himself to you?" Jiraiya nodded. Kushina asked another question.

"I assume he told about me to you?" another nod. Kushina nodded and continued.

"the two Iwa nins are Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi. Future body guards of the Sandaime Tsuchikage, from the Kage summit in the next 3 years." she let this sink in. then spoke again.

"history changed, Kurotsuchi, granddaughter of the Sandaime Tsuchikage told me of his assassination. This in turn caused a huge change of event in history. I don't know how to fix this." she grimly said. Silence engulfed the room. Kushina then spoke.

"what do we do?" the silence is her answer. After a few moments. Jiraiya spoke up.

"alright kid, I'll take you in as my apprentice." he indicated Naruto. Kushina frowned then spoke up.

"I was going to be his sensei." she complained. Jiraiya then twisted his face in though then spoke up.

"we will both teach him." Kushina then smiled. Suddenly Naruto spoke up.

"don't forget about Kakashi!" Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen for answers. Hiruzen spoke up.

"I lied to the council, I used Sasuke's position as future and only Uchiha clan head to grant him two sensei. Kakashi-kun and Kushina here. Kushina will train Naruto enough so he can pass his genin exams. She already knows the others of team 7 will pass." Hiruzen answered. Suddenly Jiraiya laughed.

"wow! I never though that someday, you, sensei. Will lie. This is an amazing day indeed." Hiruzen was known to being completely honest, but inside there was a liar, Naruto smirked at his jiji and spoke up.

"I got him to!" Jiraiya and Naruto grinned at each other. Jiraiya commented.

"I'm already starting to like you gaki." Naruto protested, but Kushina spoke up.

"so, while the three of us train Naruto, who can train me in fuinjutsu?" Jiraiya answered that.

"I can't train Naruto right now, I still got to see my contacts. So you will teach Naruto in the mean time. I got several books on fuinjutsu. You can read those. Ill leave em at your apartment as a gift." Kushina smiled. She finally gets to learn fuinjutsu and teach her nii-san. Naruto smiled at the though of his nee-chan teaching him. Kushina then spoke up. Telling Jiraiya about the Akatsuki and Orochimaru. Jiraiya absorbed the information quickly and said.

"I still got to keep watch of their movements. My contacts will help us there." with that the group split.


Rokudaime Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, in the alias of the Yondaime hokage, his week was spent stalking Amegakure. He needed to tell Nagato of the future. On the first day. Naruto temporarily left to go to a nearby village. Luckily the village sold ink and scrolls. Using the money on him, he paid for the equipment and traveled back to Amegakure the next day.

On the 7th day. he scouted using Sage mode's sensory ability. He discovered something grueling. A few more huge chakra signatures was detected. Naruto decided to investigate, before hand, he left a Hiraishin kunai knife behind. Using the same method he got in of Ame, he reached inside. Still in Sage mode. He detected a few familiar chakra signatures. His eyes widened.

'Kakuzu? Hidan? What are you two doing here?' Naruto wondered. Then suddenly 3 more chakra signatures appeared. Naruto again gaped open.

'Deidara? Sasori? Madara, what are you planning?' Naruto continued to wonder. Now 7 members of the Akatsuki are present in Ame. Naruto then felt the signature of Zetsu, making 8 members in Ame. Naruto already knew Nagato knows he's in Ame, thinking that Nagato was still on the Akatsuki's side, he left in a yellow flash. Not wanting to risk if any of the Akatsuki finds him, he will have a brawl on his hands. despite his amazing growth, he still couldn't take on so many Akatsuki members all at the same time.


Another week has passed and Kushina and Naruto were training in secret. Naruto already learned the Kage bunshin in the few hours he learned. That in turn helped him speed up his ninjutsu training. Already knowing the secret, he learned the substitution on the 6th day. After learning the two techniques. Naruto is fully prepared for the genin exams, which really only consists of having basic knowledge, decent taijutsu, which Naruto and Kushina agreed to train taijutsu for their last week, and the 3 basic ninjutsu. The henge, Kawarimi, and the bunshin no jutsu. Naruto already knew the henge and could perform it flawlessly. He now knows the Kage Bunshin, and used that to train the Kawarimi.

In the academy, Kushina agreed to Naruto to reveal her whiskers. The reaction was instant. Everyone looked at her with confusion. Till Kiba told everyone about Kushina being Naruto's nee-chan, thinking it's an Uzumaki thing, but when a person asked about the Uzukaze, Kushina lied that the Uzukaze was related to the Uzumaki. Everyone just ignored the Namikazes after that, but not Danzo's men. While Kushina was in the Academy, she noticed there were people staring at her. But these people were not in the class room. No, Kushina deduced that they were Danzo's Anbu root. Kushina continued to play the part of watching the Uchiha boy. During taijutsu practices, she decided to go easy on everyone, letting them give some punches here and there. They didn't hurt Kushina of course, but Kushina gave just as many, she promised not to use her chakra enhanced strength in the taijutsu matches. It just wasn't a fair match with it, but still, it was pretty one sided if anyone was facing against Kushina.

On Naruto's part. He learned much more during classes, thanks to Kushina's wake up call, involving her flicking him with her fingers and chakra. Naruto grudgingly accepted Kushina's attacks. Although he was still depress about being forced to date Sakura for Kushina's sake. Kushina noticed and told him he could go after any girl he wants, saying it's his choice. But Naruto still trying to get over the fact that he doesn't love Sakura anymore. Kushina was worried for him. She often though.

'Danzo's men keep on watching me, they know about my strange whisker marks now, Danzo will probably question me about them and why i hid them from the council, I didn't want to reveal it to the world, but I promised nii-san'

For the other students of the academy. Sasuke still didn't notice he was being watched by a jounin his age, and soon to be his jounin sensei. Kushina allowed Sasuke to beat her in more things, slowly giving him the rookie of the year. Kushina didn't care about that title cause she already had it. In her time. Sasuke notices and looks at Kushina more often, much to the displeasure of his fan girls.

Kiba still feared Kushina since that fateful day he mocked Naruto. He knows something is up with Kushina, his partner Akamaru told him of Kushina's power level. At first he was in a state of disbelief, but remembering that day. He believed his dog.

Shikamaru already knows of Kushina's rank, but he is behind the date, He didn't know of her Jounin status. But never pressed the issue. Thinking it would be too troublesome to investigate. His old friend Chouji was indifferent on Kushina.

Shino's bugs told him of Kushina's prowess as well. His bugs warned him of Kushina's chakra being "refined" "powerful" and other synonyms.

Ino and Sakura, they got on Kushina's nerves far to many times. When they noticed Sasuke was giving Kushina glances. They instantly became jealous. They gave Kushina glares daily. Kushina didn't care, she merely shrugged it off as annoyance. Like Sasuke, Kushina let Sakura beat her a few times. Sakura, like Sasuke, noticed her going easy on her. When she did question her, unlike Sasuke, Kushina merely told her that she's tired on being on top. Leaving Sakura confused.

In fact, most of Sasuke's fan girls noticed Sasuke's glances at Kushina, and they too annoyed Kushina to no end. Kushina noticed Sasuke's glances like every other girl, and wondered to herself. Could it be jealously? Of her beating him on Kushina's first day? Rage? Cause she's letting him beat her? Or could it be something else?

Hinata, she was a different case. She often glanced at Kushina in rage. She of course never acted upon those emotions, but she subtly dislikes Kushina. Being close to her Naruto-kun like that.

Iruka and Mizuki noticed Kushina holding back. They too wondered why she let people walk over her. But it wasn't their business. They too shrugged it off.

On the 7th day of the week, Jiraiya left Kushina several fuinjutsu books back at her apartment, Jiraiya easily picked the lock, seeing as the girl really needed fuinjutsu training, he took the liberty to seal all of Kushina's possessions. When he eyed the Hiraishin kunai knives, he gasped. The girl is really learning the jutsu. He took it upon himself to give the girl what she needs in order to learn the powerful jutsu. When he eyed the history book, he took a quick peek and again wide eyed, he sealed the book too. He thought about stealing the history textbook, but didn't. he then left a scroll about sealing objects into scrolls. Then left. Left believing in the girl and her father.


Rokudaime Naruto. He like last week, stayed at the border of Ame. Madara and the other Akatsuki are aware of him by now, but they could never catch Naruto. However, on the 6th day of this week. When Naruto spies on Ame, 2 more signatures appear. Naruto sighed out and mentally said.

'the red clouds are all here' the whole Akatsuki is in Ame. Naruto knows Madara is planning something, but what.

The air in Ame is so tense that some of the civilians stayed indoors, Naruto noticed the behaviors of Ame's people are much more in fear, rather than their cheery moods. Naruto easily came up with the conclusion. The Akatsuki's presence is scaring the people. Naruto, can't do anything about it without endangering his attempts to make contact with Nagato.

Every time Naruto enters the village, Nagato knows It's the fake Yondaime. Nagato too, knows that Madara is planning something big, yet he too doesn't know what. He often sends Konan to spy on the other Akatsuki members. But she could never get anything out of them. They always disappeared then reappeared to another part of Ame. All Nagato, Konan, and Naruto could think of was Madara. He is planning something. Nagato, Konan, and Naruto knows that.

Whenever Nagato hosts meetings with the other members. They only show up as mirage images. They were apparently too lazy to shunshin to his location. Nagato tried to question them but was unable to gain anything.

Naruto nearly made contact with Nagato 3 more times in his attempt to contact Nagato, and it was the same each time. The Akatsuki intervened, often killing the Human path of Nagato, and Naruto fled the scene. Nagato was left in the dark, and annoyed that his subordinates are often killing his human path. He truly figured he wanted to see this "true peace" Naruto wanted to show him. But every time his own subordinates interfere.


The last week before the genin exams. Kushina trained Naruto again in secret this time on taijutsu. Kushina was going to train her three future students equally. Naruto was given enough training to pass his genin exams.

Nothing significant occurred other than the daily detection of Danzo's spies, the academy student's given free tips by Kushina, and Kushina letting the students win. However, something did occur. Some of the students began bragging to her. About her losing her touch. Kushina really did want to tell them that she a jounin, but she will get there on the day of the genin exams.

Naruto continued on being depressed. Kushina could never bring Naruto out that anymore. Naruto kept his mask to the other academy students, but when he was alone with Kushina. He fell into a depressed state. Kushina knew what it was about. But she never had an answer to his problem.

Shikamaru, Shino, Chouji, Kiba, and Sasuke all did their usual things, and never pressed their issue with Kushina.

Shikamaru continued to be impassive, like Chouji. Kiba still was fearful of the red head, and Sasuke continued to look at Kushina. Again. Kushina never knew what those looks Sasuke gave her was about.

Sakura was surely gaining the kunoichi of the year, and soon forgot her lessons from Kushina. Kushina always retrained her on her lessons. Kushina knew the teams was already set, thanks to the Sandaime's word. Kushina was only an add-on.

Ino and Sakura still gave Kushina hard times because of Sasuke's glances. Again Kushina though nothing of it.

Kushina still had issues with Sakura. She always did know that Sakura was her real mother. Her doubt was keeping her sane, but after Naruto's talk with the Kyuubi and Kushina's interrogation. Kushina found out the truth, and she kept her problems to herself. Her disgust with the pink hair girl bothered he so much that Naruto noticed. Everyone else though it was Sakura annoying the red headed jounin. But Naruto knew the truth. Naruto too was disgusted with the idea of dating somebody Kushina disapproves of, but Kushina claims it must be his choice.

Hinata however, was still jealous of Kushina. Kushina nearly had enough and wanted to tell Hinata the truth. Kushina couldn't. she was under watch 24 /7. Kushina has to wait till Danzo is removed.

The Sandaime told Kushina that he was going to deal with Mizuki on Mizuki incident. Saying that's the best time to deal with him. Kushina agreed, and allowed that plan of action. But she regretted it when Mizuki increasingly becoming furious with Naruto's improvements. Naruto wasn't the dead last anymore. There's a new dead last forming and his name is Kiba Inuzuka. Soon ridiculing of the dead last transferred onto Kiba.

Kushina and the Sandaime had a talk with team placements and both agreed that Team 10 and team 8 should stay as they are. Thus team 7 have to stay as they are too.

Jiraiya announced his departure on the 7th day. Saying he needs to connect to his contacts about the Akatsuki's movements.


On Rokudaime Naruto's last week before the genin exams, the whole Akatsuki stayed in Ame. Again, Naruto infiltrated Ame several times, again seeing the same thing, being all the Akatsuki members in one place. Madara is planning something. Naruto unlike last week, didn't bother to contact Nagato.

Author's note: I really needed to pick up the stories speed. So I made it to the genin exams quicker. Hope it's not a disappointment. the genin exams.
