A/N: Well, I finally finished this section, and now I'll move on to the next story. Took me like a full month to get this written down like I wanted it, so, I hope you enjoy it.

===Finals===

"No, no, for the… 346,879,056th time, no!" Naruto said to Naruko, who pouted and crossed her arms. Returning to his task, Naruto immersed himself in the book on Fuinjutsu in front of him. It had been 2 and a half years since Itachi's 'deception' and the subsequent Uchiha massacre. Since then, Naruto had thrown himself into training even harder, taking up Fuinjutsu, not just for himself but to teach Naruko. Currently, according to the book, he was about a level three Seal Master, which amounted to, he could make storage seals, explosion seals, and was learning chakra suppression seals.

"Really, you don't act like much of a boy. Most guys would be falling over themselves to get two girlfriends, and here you are denying a poor girl from having the privilege of dating the hottest boy, and future Hokage." Naruko said, sighing as she steeped to the side to avoid a passing civilian who mumbled 'Demon' under his breath.

"Number one, I pride myself on being different. Two, why would I want another girl, you're too much to keep happy. Three, Hinata doesn't love; she has a crush from seeing me without my shirt. Four, I don't want to be Hokage, that's your dream, remember?" Naruto pointed out, hopping over a runaway barrel.

"Psshh, whatever, I think you're just afraid of commitment, that or you think I'm testing you." Naruko said, the pair arriving at their class just before the bell rang, Naruto snapping his book shut.

"Hardly, I don't think you could come up with a test that complex." Naruto whispered, blocking a punch with his book. "Now then, shall we try and get through today without killing someone, especially each other?" Naruto added, and before Naruko could answer, he kissed her cheek, the intimate contact tickling her whisker marks.

"Fine, but don't think we're through yet." Naruko responded trying to keep her blush down from being kissed in front of her friends. Walking up, the young couple took their seats as Iruka addressed the class, a giant stack of papers behind him.

"Okay class, you know what today is, Finals. The Graduation Finals will be divided into three portions, Mental, Physical, and Jutsu. The mental portion is a paper test with questions we've covered over the years, now then, clear your desks and get ready while I pass out tests." The Chunin announced, half the class cheering, while the other half nodded.

Naruto chuckled at how simplistic it seemed as he glanced over the test, knowing the answers to a vast majority of the questions, either from class or his various readings over the years. However, his plan to get assigned to Naruko and Sasuke's team required him to bomb the test. Or get last place, which sparked a fun thought in Naruto's head, although he didn't show it.

He wouldn't admit it, but he had rubbed off on Naruko, and vice-versa. He had taken to pranking people with her, finding that it tested his detection skills and evasion skills, as they frequently were chased by the ANBU and various Jounin. Naruko, on the other hand, was less open about her emotions, developing what she jokingly referred to as her 'Kunoichi Mode'. Naruto liked this side of her; it never failed to make his heart skip a beat when she used it in their spars.

And so, he practiced his ninja skills as he finished his test perfectly, making discrete hand seals inside of his baggy overcoat, a massive smoke cloud erupting as he made 10 clones who almost imperceptibly Henged into flies. As the smoke cleared, the whole class was looking at him as he leaned over, pretending to swap papers with his neighbor, who happened to be Kiba.

"OI! What do you think you're doing, Naruto-dobe?" Kiba yelled, standing to his feet in anger as Naruto looked up, flashing a guilty smile, Iruka sighing as he told Naruto to go outside, that he had a zero for the test, the whole class snickering, some for different reasons than the obvious.

Three of such, were Naruko, Sasuke, and Sakura, all three knowing of Naruto trickster nature, and knowing that something was coming any minute.

"Yes Iruka-sensei, I'll be right outside the door, so just holler if you need me." Naruto said, bowing in a mocking fashion as Iruka used his Big Head Jutsu to yell at Naruto further, who simply stood there, then inserting his finger in his ear and twisting it around, removing it and flicking the ball of accumulative earwax at Iruka, the ball bouncing off of his forehead.

"By the way Kiba, number seventeen is wrong." Naruto said, vanished outside the door, the canine boy erasing his answer to marking a new one, nodding as if confirming the answer. Suddenly, the whole room was enveloped in yet another cloud of smoke, a wind suddenly appearing from nowhere and blowing the smoke away to reveal…nothing.

Which would have struck Naruto's close friends as odd, if the door to the classroom hadn't been flung open by a rather angry purple haired kunoichi with a kunai in hand that glinted in the light. Looking around in her anger hazed state, the kunoichi spotted her target up in the third row before leaping at him and pulling him towards the door with strength that belied her frame as she lived up to her level of tonkabetsu jounin.

"Oi, what're you doing, let me go Anko, and explain yourself! I'm sure my sister won't appreciate such a blatant attack on her ototo, even by one of her close friends!" Kiba shouted as he yanked his arm free while Akamaru growled at the Snake's apprentice.

"Oh, looks like you do have a pair after all. Still, I'm sure your sister won't mind me roughing you up a little bit first." Anko said through gritted teeth, causing the words to hiss out between the teeth.

"Oh really, and why is that, Anko?" Kiba growled back as he reared back a fist to hit the female in front of him.

Only to stop at the second voice that came from outside the room as a second female entered the room, her brunette hair overshadowing her eyes as her three pet wolves sat just outside the room. The three wolves picked up on their mistress's wishes and stayed out of this, after all, it was her family.

"Because I'm the one that lead her here, my mutt of a brother, I knew you had problems, but panty stealing, and sniffing? You are scum, little brother, I'm ashamed to even be related to you, mutt-brat!" The woman said as she grabbed the younger Inuzuka by the collar of his jacket. Bringing his face closer to her's, she growled out at him before shoving him back as he stumbled across the floor, slamming into the wall as his breath left his body.

"Just be glad that I didn't tell Kaa-chan, or you would have found yourself being retrained." Kiba's sister said as she spun her heel, grabbing the kunai out of Anko's hand and, with a flick of her wrist, sent the kunai up to the ring into the floor, exactly a centimeter away from Kiba's crotch.

"We'll speak about this later, at home, and Anko will be there, as well as various other women who wish to teach you a lesson about not leaving your mark on stolen goods. And from me, it's not even that you did it, but did you honestly think I or Kaa-chan wouldn't be able to smell all the different female scents coming from your room?" Hana said as she left, slamming the door behind her as Anko shot one more look at Kiba to get the point across, which was doubly enforced by the massive wave of killing intent.

And with that, Naruto peeked his head inside the door, and put the icing on the cake, or the final nail in his coffin, depending on your point-of-view.

"Dude, I TOLD you she would find out, you should just be glad she didn't your stash of her panties inside that compartment you had under the floorboards!" Naruto shouted in his usual voice which he had dubbed, 'Dobe.' The whole class room felt the backlash from the wave of KI that washed over Kiba as he somehow discovered the talent to dig through a solid stone wall as he burst from the classroom, leaving a perfectly circular hole as his screams were heard across the village. That made Naruko, and various others smirk at Naruto's trick.

"Huh, did I say something wrong?" Naruto asked, perfectly imitating a confused look as he tilted his head to the side, causing several girls to blush, which in turn caused Naruko to growl at them in a way that would've made any Inuzuka proud. The look was too much though as she suddenly burst out laughing at Naruto's face, Sasuke giving a small smile at his older brother's nature.

- (Several Tests, and Pranks, Later) -

"I'm sorry you failed once again Naruko, maybe you should consider a career as a civilian." Mizuki said as he looked at the girl, thinking several perverted thoughts that he kept to himself as Naruko nodded in acceptance.

"It's okay, Mizuki-sensei, I'll just try again next year, and I'll pass for sure that time, after all, the Hokage isn't the one who gets it right the first time, but the one that endures until she does." Naruko said, nodding as if acknowledging her own statement as fact. She made sure to put her hands behind her back as she thrust her budding chest out as a bare hint of cleavage caught Mizuki's eyes.

"Okay, I think you're worthy to take on the 'special cases' test." Mizuki said as he pulled a scroll out from within his jacket and handed it to Naruko. "Just follow the orders on the scroll, and you will have your reward by morning." Mizuki added as Naruko pretended to tear up as she furiously thanked Mizuki for the chance to prove herself before running off to her boyfriend's side. Had she stuck around, she would've seen the glare that Mizuki sent her way.

"So, what did Mizuki-teme want to tell you?" Naruto asked as his girlfriend landed on his back as she wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, the sudden shift of weight causing him to lean forwards as she brought her legs up to wrap them around his waist.

"He wants me to do some stupid job for him to earn my headband after the teme messed with my control. Stupid fool, as if he thinks he can manipulate the jinchuuriki of the great Kyuubi!" Naruko said as Naruto carried her away from the Academy.

"Maybe you should let me do it, after all, I have some emotional distress to work out. Tell you what, I'll even take you on a proper date, my Uzu-hime, since I'm sure the day has been difficult on you." Naruto suggested as he heard a low whimpering and rumbling from the girl on his back.

"I take it that you accept?" Naruto said as he maneuvered her into a more comfortable position as he channeled chakra to his feet, launching off as he took to zipping across the roof tops, the high speeds causing Naruko to giggle profusely from his back as she felt, for only a second, the unrestrained power her other half held within himself.

"Ah, I see you liked that huh. Well, my dear, if you thought that was fast, just wait until later, when I don't have to keep my secrets anymore." Naruto mumbled to his girlfriend as he landed in front of a familiar Ramen stand. Releasing the girl from his hold on her, she slid off of his back, and planted herself on a stool as she heard a bell ding.

Turning, she saw her sister figure, Ayame, in her familiar attire when she was working at the Ramen stand. Before she could open her mouth to speak though, Ayame regarded Naruto with a look of slight fear in her eyes.

"What can I get you two today?" Ayame asked as she propped a ladle over her shoulder.

"Can I get one of those?" Naruto asked almost hesitantly as Naruto glanced at Naruko. Returning her gaze to Ayame, she saw that the girl was now grinning widely as she glanced at Naruko with … envy?

"Sure thing, now that you're ready to admit your feeling honestly, Naruto." Ayame said as she went into the back to give the order to Teuchi.

"Naruto?" Naruko asked in slight fear herself as she was surprised to hear her voice quiver.

"Yes, Naruko?" Naruto said; turning his face to her as blood flooded her face as she felt a slight dampness between her legs. Oh god, oh god, oh Kami-sama, how did he manage to lower his tone so much, it's like hearing him only 10 years in the future. Naruko thought helplessly as her blood refused to be pushed down.

"How?" Naruko asked quietly, not realizing she had voiced the thought aloud.

"How am I so amazingly hot? Well, that was partially my family, and mostly my superior genes." Naruto answered in a manner-of-fact tone as he drummed his fingers on the wooden counter.

Naruko tried once again to push her blush down, being met once again with little success. "Re-Really, and when will I get to meet this family of yours I've heard about, you know mine, don't you trust me with yours?" Naruko asked while mentally chiding herself for stuttering like her best friend.

That caused Naruto's entire demeanor to change. "I-I don't think that will happen, you see, I received word several months ago that after I left, my brother had a mental breakdown and killed my family, only my little brother survived and he was in the hospital for several days due to mental scarring from the images of his dead parents, my dead parents." Naruto said as Naruko whirled on him, her face showing anger that disappeared almost as quickly as it appeared.

Sure she was angry at him for keeping this a secret, but then she realized how much he was hurting each and every day as he probably thought about it. Suddenly, a thought came into her head, a question really, that she was almost afraid to ask due to the possible answers.

"Do you blame me for taking you away from your family?" Naruko asked quietly, her voice struggling to keep from crying as Naruto didn't answer. "Nar-" She started.

"Yes, no, maybe." He shrugged his shoulders as added answer before continuing. "All I know is that if I had been there, I could have stopped him." Naruto said bitterly before grasping a bottle of sake that he pulled out of … somewhere.

"Or you could've been killed!" Naruko said adamantly as she reached for Naruto, only for her hand to be swatted away.

"No, shut up, Naruko, you don't understand. He, well, I, you just don't understand, you never had a family to lose, and I did, and I did, so just shut up!" Naruto shouted, freezing immediately as he realized what he had said. It was only due to his prodigious skills that he managed to grab her wrist as she tried to leave, then, as she opened her mouth to protest, he pulled her into him, covering her lips with his own.

"What I'm trying to say is that, my family was very possessive. My mom helped me to, well, fake my death, so that I could come to you. I just know that Aniki went crazy because of my death, he blamed our family. What I'm trying to explain to you is that I've lost my family just so I could get to know you, and now I don't want to lose anymore precious people because I couldn't make my feelings known. I-I love you! Do you understand that?" Naruto admitted as he pulled his lips away from Naruko's surprised ones.

"Uhmm, yeah, I just, I need some time to deal with my feelings, I'm sorry, Naru-kun." Naruko mumbled as she pulled free from him, heading for their shared apartment.

And with that, he returned to his seat in the ramen stand. "Grand, the girl has wanted me to tell her that I love her since I moved in with her, and when I finally do, she gets so confused, and she won't even tell if she feels the same. Ugghhh, women!" Naruto exclaimed as he threw his hands in the air before noticing that Naruko had dropped her scroll with her hasty retreat.

"Haha, I know the feeling son, but just wait until her time of the month, a shinobi hasn't experienced true hell until they've seen my Ayame during her time." Teuchi said before a loud clang was heard as Ayame came out with a her now bent ladle.

"When did you start?" Naruto asked as he turned the bottle up, taking a large drink of the rice wine. Setting the bottle back down, replacing the stopper as it disappeared back into his clothes, Ayame set down his order, which he paid for before sealing it into a scroll which he also slid into the folds of his clothes as he turned and slid off the stool, stooping over to grab the mission scroll from Mizuki off the ground.

"Well, this certainly presents some opportunities, as well as the chance to make sure my skills are still sharp." Naruto mumbled as he closed the scroll, walking off with purpose towards the Hokage Tower.

"That boy is destined for great things, maybe more so than Shodaime-sama." Teuchi said from the back of the Ramen stand as he pulled a necklace out from his uniform, glancing at the swirls on the metal piece before replacing in his uniform as a new customer showed up.

- (1 Hour Later) -

Naruko was curled up in the fetal position inside of her closet, tears streaming down her face as she stared at the piece of parchment several feet in front of her, her chosen message scrawled across the paper.

Dear Naruto,

I've decided that it would be better if we parted ways. When we first met, I desperately needed a friend to help me, and you did that job so well, exceeding everything I could've hoped for. However, you gave up your family for me, and now I understand what it is that needs to be done. I refuse to let you lose anymore precious people just because you fell in love with a demon child like me. I've decided to take Mizuki-teme's 'test', I'll most likely be captured and killed for treason, but should I escape, I plan to find a new home so that you may find someone who can love you as much as I do.

Sincerely, Naruko Uzumaki-Namikaze

"Oh, Naruto, why did you have to fall in love with me? How could you see the innocence inside of me when no one else can even treat me the same without knowing my secret? Well, Hinata can, but that's just because no one wants to hang out with her because of her blushing all the time, and quiet, isolated nature." Naruko said as she rose, opening the door to her closet more, just as noises from outside came through the half-closed window.

"Catch her, the demon child Naruko Uzumaki has stolen The Forbidden Scroll and is trying to escape to her contact. This our chance to catch her for Danzo-sama, now hurry, I got a report stating that she was headed for the north side of Konoha!" The ANBU said lowly, although Naruko's ears picked up the words since they were right outside.

"Naruko Uzumaki?" Naruko thought as the ANBU flew across the rooftops towards the north side of the village. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she ran to her clothes scattered across the bed. "Please be there!" She said as she grabbed at the pockets, however, finding nothing, she cursed as she began pulling her clothes on in a rush, making sure to grab her sword as she locked the door behind her, leaping after the ANBU.

Naruto, using a Henge to look like Naruko, landed on the ground, dropping the giant scroll beside him as he sent out a quick pulse of chakra to check for any nearby signatures. Finding none, he sat down and began unrolling the scroll as he look at the list of forbidden jutsu contained within the scroll. Within seconds, he saw a jutsu that looked interesting enough to learn as he checked one more time for chakra signatures, and finding none, he made a hand seal, activating his family's Dojutsu as his eyes turned blood red, two black tomoes visible in each eye as he memorized the info on the jutsu before hearing some rustling in the brush as he snapped the scroll shut, returning his eyes to their former colors.

Hiding the scroll behind his back, Naruto saw Iruka enter the clearing across from him, a confused look on his face. Deciding to play the innocent act, Naruto shined a heart-stopping smile, in his opinion, at the older male as he made the cross seal, creating a Shadow Clone.

"Look Iruka-sensei, I did it!" Naruto said as he jumped up and down, vaguely noting the pull on his chest since he was still disguised as Naruko. His clone also leapt in mock joy while Iruka looked equal parts bewildered and confused.

"I can see that, but what exactly were you trying to do?" The teacher asked as Naruto began staring at him with a lecturing look abut him.

"Mizuki-sensei said that if I stole the Forbidden Scroll and learned a jutsu from it, I could be given my headband. So tell me, Iruka-sensei, did I pass the test?" Naruto asked, as he tilted his head one direction, his clone tilting the other way as both adopted looks of pure innocence.

"Test? Mizuki? What …?!" Iruka started only to charge at Naruto, bowling him over as a demon windmill shurikan sunk into his back, blood erupting from the wound. Following the path, Naruto saw Mizuki perched on a branch high up in the air, an annoyed look on his face as he removed the second windmill shurikan from his back; Naruto cursed himself for not noticing the second chakra signature within the clearing.

"RUN NARUKO!" Iruka yelled from over her body as he coughed, blood flying out of his mouth. Up of in the canopy, Naruto noticed that Mizuki was watching him like a hawk for his chance to throw that shurikan at him and take his head off, too bad he would need more than that to take him out.

"No, Iruka-sensei, I can-" Naruto was cut off as Iruka shoved him towards the trees, tossing the scroll at him as he turned back, taking advantage of a tree as cover.

"No, Naruko, I have no doubts that you think you can take him, but despite his, or my, appearance, we are trained Chunin, and we need to keep that scroll away from him. So, RUN!" Iruka shouted one last time as blood came out of his mouth, Naruto nodding as he turned to leave, leaving a discrete Shadow Clone which immediately used the Henge to change into a bird that took flight to keep an aerial view of the clearing, but close enough to pick up on what was spoken.

Telling himself that the Shadow Clone would keep Iruka safe, Naruto ran off towards the village, only to feel the wind shifting behind him as he flipped upside down, reaching out on instinct to catch the second windmill shurikan which he sent zooming back, which Mizuki dodged by dropping to the ground as Naruto disappeared into the forest, leaving the two Chunin behind. Had Mizuki followed the path of the second shurikan, he would have noticed that a tree was now missing half of its trunk due to being slicing cleanly in two pieces.

"Well, Iruka, looks like this is the end of the line for you. Just remember as you slowly die, that you did this for a demon brat." Mizuki said as he pulled the windmill shurikan embedded in Iruka's back, free, the scarred Chunin wincing as he slumped to the ground.

"You… don't under… understand Mizu… That girl… may… may be a… a demon… but she… she's still my… my student!" Iruka said before his eyes went blank and he fell to the ground, not noticing that Mizuki gave one final glare at him before spitting on him as he leapt into the trees in pursuit of Naruko.

Seeing that he was gone, the clone dropped its Henge and dropped to the ground, running through a series of hand seals in the process. Landing with a muffled thud, he laid his hands on the Chunin's back, the appendages glowing a pale green. Once assured that he would survive, he made a risky decision, and flared all his remaining chakra before gathering it in his chest as he breathed out, releasing a giant fireball into the air.

"Sir, I'm detecting a large chakra signature moving towards us at high speeds, being pursued by a smaller chakra signature. I believe it to be the demon child heading back towards the village, should we plan to ambush her as she passes through the clearing?" The ANBU asked as the captain thought for a second before nodding as the other three ANBU nodding in accent as they pulled their katanas free from their sheathes.

However, they suddenly leapt to the side as an red and white blur shot through, body checking one of them as he was sent straight into the tree across the clearing. As they pulled themselves free, noting that their sword was shattered in two by the powerful impact, he saw his assailant, a girl recognizable by her uniformal attire, with loose white cloth for a top, a short red skirt with several slits to allow for movement, her feet were contained in a pair of dull red combat boots. On her waist was a kunai and shurikan holster, and on the other side, attached to a sagging secondary belt, was a long white sheath with a hilt protruding. However, what truly identified her were the whisker marks, and waist length red hair with the bangs curled back into the hair, and the glaring violet eyes, which were bordering on black at the moment.

"Uzumaki Naruko, it would seem we have been deceived by the Intel. Not only is this girl lacking the Forbidden Scroll, but she also isn't being chased by anyone. Nonetheless, we shall capture you and your impostor, as well as the Forbidden Scroll." The ANBU stated as he ran through a rapid series off hand seals before releasing a large fireball at Naruko, who leapt to the side, only to be forced to pull her blade free to block two ANBU who attacked from behind.

Swinging the blade up, she knocked the pair back as they flipped in the air, and substituted themselves for two logs as Naruko swung the sword a second time as it sheared the logs into pieces from the wind chakra surrounding the blade. However, before she could locate the two escaped enemies, she was forced to toss her blade into the air as she ran through a rapid series of seals before blowing outwards towards a rapidly approaching beam on pure lightning.

"Futon: Great Breakthrough!"

"Raiton: Thunder Lance."

The two attacks clashed against each other before Naruko's overpowered the ANBU's due to both the elemental advantage and more chakra being in the attack. However, the ANBU evaded the wind attack as it destroyed the branch he had been standing on, retaliating with several thrown kunai which Naruko dodged as they sunk into the ground, only for the tags attached to the end to catch fire and explode as the combined power sent Naruko flying into a large tree, leaving an indent.

As she pulled herself to her feet, the three ANBU charged her as she was defenseless, only for her to smirk as she made a quick Shadow Clone which substituted places with her sword as she grabbed the blade, swinging the blade in a wide, horizontal arc as a glowing blue blade erupted from the tip.

"Swan Wing's Arc!" Naruko said with a smirk as they blade cut through one of the ANBU who was unable to dodge in time, however, the other two were behind him and had more time to dodge to the side before Naruko appeared over one, swinging the blade through his body as he was split in half.

She moved to attack the other ANBU, only for him to sweep her legs out from under her and hit her with four swift jabs with his sword to disable her limbs, only for her body to vanish in a puff of smoke as he whirled around to see a rapidly descending Naruko, with her sword pointed in front of her as it began glowing a whitish-blue.

He started to gather chakra for a counter-attack, and had started the string of hand seals when he felt a massive chakra flare in the distance, in the direction of the squad's target. The flare was promptly followed by a massive fireball entering the sky as it exploded into fireworks, a near surefire way to draw attention. However, the flare also had the effect of disrupting his chakra flow as he lost concentration, giving the girl time to finish her attack.

"Swan Dive!" Naruko said as she thrust the blade at the ANBU, the blade sinking into his shoulder as blood erupted from the wound. The momentum carried both him and Naruko into a tree where he was pinned against the wood by the sword. He tried to stab the girl with a kunai in his left hand, only for her to swat the hand away, sending the metal weapon bouncing across the clearing before sinking her teeth into his forearm, pushing the youkai that bubbled just below the surface into his bloodstream.

"Now tell me, who is Danzo? Don't even try to keep up the act, I heard you say something about a Danzo-sama, and I know that ANBU don't wear blank masks. Now tell me, and I'll let you die." Naruko snarled as she got close to the 'ANBU' to hear him in case he whispered.

"You want me to tell you something for nothing. Go to hell, demon bit-" Was all he got out before Naruko's fist slammed into his mouth, knocking a few teeth loose as he coughed up blood.

"Let's see if you don't change your mind after I take out your eyes, or maybe a few fingers and toes. Or maybe… " Naruko trailed off as she pulled a kunai from her side holster and drug it softly over the man's crotch, which caused him to tense up lightly under her. However, she quickly tossed the kunai down into his foot, pinning it to the tree as well before repeating the action with his other foot.

"I would say you have about ten more seconds before that youkai reaches your heart, and then we'll see how you hold up to my questions. You know what, I want to see your face as you scream and beg for mercy that won't come until I get my answers." Naruko said as she reached for the mask, the 'ANBU' turning away, only for the jinchuuriki to grab him by his hair and pull him back before yanking the mask free.

However, what she saw caused her to freeze as a child's face, no older than 10, stared back at her, his eyes hardened by fighting and death. Seeing his chance, the boy bit harshly into his tongue as blood flooded his mouth, his lifeblood pouring from his mouth within seconds as he died.

"NO!" Naruko tried to stop him, only to catch a quick view of a seal on the boy's tongue as he bled out in front of her. She was barely given enough time to burn it into her memory as it vanished with the boy's life as his body went slack like a puppet with its strings cut, and she heard her boyfriend enter the clearing below.

Naruto landed in a clearing which looked like it had been subject to a recent battle as trees looked like people had met them at high speeds, also, chakra seemed to hang in the air, suggesting a recent battle here. However, no bodies were seen and no weapons, so he stored the thought away for later analyzation.

Whirling around, he confronted Mizuki as he landed on the other side of the clearing, blocking his way back to Konoha. Setting the scroll down, he got ready to fight, and if the chance presented itself, kill his opponent. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind as he came up with a quick plan from the idea.

"Hey, Mizuki-teme, what were telling Iruka-sensei about me?" Naruto asked, still keeping up his appearance as Naruko.

"Oh, I was telling him about how he gave his life for the Kyuubi that killed his parents and our beloved Yondaime. That's right you little brat, you're the demon that everyone hates; you want to be Hokage, give me a break, no one will ever accept you as our leader, you aren't fit for anything other than breeding stock, which is exactly what I'm going to do before I kill you." Mizuki shouted to the heavens as a lecherous look went across his face, as he envisioned all the ways he was going to ravish the busty redhead in front of him.

However, his grin disappeared as he saw 'Naruko' smirk before he saw her form the hand seal to release a jutsu as the redhead in front of him turned into Naruto. For good measure, he placed a Genjutsu over Mizuki to make him believe the scroll behind him was actually a log.

"That's a very interesting thing to say, I'm pretty sure that telling anyone that she's the Kyuubi is an offense punishable by death, right Mizuki-teme?" Naruto said as he crossed his arms, his smirk dropping as he adopted his ninja look.

"You, you're even worse than her, you hang around with trash like that demon girl. Maybe having your girlfriend ravished in front of you as she screams out my name will change your tune, you demon lover!" Mizuki said as he pulled his retrieved windmill shurikan free from his back.

"Yes, she's a demon." Naruto said, and Naruko felt her heart drop from her view above the clearing, tears threatened to fall before she heard his next words. "Yes, a demon that never hurt anyone of you people, that wants nothing more than to protect you, see here's what you need to think of, kid, sealing a kunai into a scroll doesn't make it a kunai, it makes it a secret weapon. Yes, she's a demon, but she's my demon, after all, two demons with a vendetta and in love with each other, get ready for the oncoming storm, Mizuki-teme!" Naruto shouted as Naruko covered her mouth to keep quiet at his 'public' admission of love to her.

"Shut up, you have no chance against me, now just DIE!" Mizuki screamed as he swung his arm to the side, sending the giant shurikan at Naruto who simply stood his ground, forming a small series of hand seals as he finished just before the shurikan sunk into his skin. Bringing his fingers to his lips, he exhaled, releasing a massive column of white flames from his mouth as it hit the shurikan, melting the metal almost instantly.

"You think she's a demon, allow me to show a true demon." Naruto said just loud enough to reach Naruko's ears as he released the Genjutsu placed on himself, Mizuki wetting himself and soiling his pants as Naruto pounced.

It's strange how much detail you can take in right before you die, like your mind wants to remember this moment above all others. This was the case as Mizuki saw Naruto for the split-second before his vision went black and his soul left him.

He saw the wild blonde hair turn into a spiky mane, how his whisker marks seemed to lift up off the skin, the massive fangs from his open mouth, the eyes that had went slitted, yellow-green with a giant pitch black chasm splitting them. He saw how his body was lithe, with every muscles showing itself for that split-second, how his black tail whipped back and forth. How his hands and feet were now paws with claws that rivaled kunais in size, and were undoubtedly sharper. However, the detail that terrified him to his core was the KI, Mizuki had been just a child when the Kyuubi attacked, but his house had been destroyed by the Kyuubi, and he had felt the KI from the demonic fox, yet it was like comparing a leaky faucet to a waterfall.

And as the jaws fastened around his neck, all he could think was, "I died to a demon pussy."

Naruto yawned as he climbed the stairs to his and Naruko's apartment. While he did have a high amount of stamina, the events of the day were a close match for his stamina as he recalled returning the scroll to the Hokage, who seemed unsurprised that he had taken it in the first place. He had also told the older man what had occurred in the woods, but he was still unphased so Naruto had just given up on surprising the old man as he left to go back to his girlfriend who had hopefully sorted out her feelings. As he shut the door, the impact caused the Hokage to slump sideways in his seat as a loud snore was heard coming from the man.

He burped as he reached for the door, his tenant's late night meal being tasted in his mouth as he shuddered at the sickening taste of the Chunin. Shaking the thoughts from his mind, he opened the door to a dark apartment.

"Naruko, you here?" He called out, and hearing a reply from the bedroom, he slowly walked through the apartment, his trained eyes seeing the dark thanks to the partial light provided by the moon outside.

"Have you-" Naruto started, only to freeze as he turned the corner into the bedroom as he saw Naruko laying across the bed, wearing a red wine colored bra and panty set, the bra filled with her flesh globes which were unusually large for a girl her age, not that Naruto was upset at the moment.

"I'll let you go-" Naruto started once more as he turned to leave, only for the redhead to appear in front of him, blocking his hasty exit as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I heard what you said about me." She mumbled lowly, as Naruto felt blood rushing to his head. He opened his mouth to reply, only for the girl to hungrily press her feather soft lips to his as she ran her tongue over his lips, and the two began dueling tongues as Naruto backed up, the girl keeping pace with him.

Naruto decided right then to throw his problems to the wind for tonight as he ran his hands down her creamy skin before cupping her tight rear as he lifted her up, the girl wrapping her creamy legs around his waist as he fell backwards onto the bed, their lips never leaving each other as she captured his tongue, pulling it into her mouth as she sucked on the meaty body part, Naruto moaning into her mouth, the girl returning the noise as he kneaded her butt.

However, that is where the fun ended as Naruko felt his grip go limp, and opening her eyes as she disengaged her mouth from his, she saw his eyes were shut, and he was breathing lightly in sleep. Normally, the girl would be offended that he fell asleep before they got to the good part, but after the day he had had, she let him off the hook as she pulled him under the covers with her, and wrapped herself in his embrace, curving her body inside of his as she closed her eyes in sleep, mumbling one last thing before unconsciousness claimed her too.

"Love you too, Naru-kun."

Due to her falling asleep, she was unaware that her message caused Naruto to wrap her even tighter in his arms as he began purring in happiness.

"Okay, now then, if you would please be quiet so I can announce the teams, thank you." Iruka said as he looked at his class for the last time as he began reading off teams. He was forced to lay the clipboard down on his podium due to his arm being wrapped in a sling from the fight with Mizuki, if you wanted to call it that.

"Team 7 will be…" Iruka started, looking up as the classroom had gone unnaturally silent as he read off the three names listed beside the tem sensei's name. "Sasuke Uchiha." The girl leaned forwards. "Naruko Uzumaki." The boys leaned closer as well. "And Naruto U." The whole class yelled in anger about either not being with Naruko or Sasuke. Even Sakura was yelling loudly about not being with her crush, although she did understand the reasons behind the team. Secretly, she was terrified about the havoc those three could cause together. "Your team sensei will be Kakashi Hatake." Naruto tensed up slightly from the name as his dream came back to him, and his brother's death from their team sensei.

"Now then, team 8 will be Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga, and your sensei will be Kurenai Yuuhi." Iruka said as he skipped team 9 due to the still being in training. "Team 10 will be Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi with your team sensei being Asuma Sarutobi."

"And finally, we have team 13, with Sakura Haruno, Sai, and Kuma Kiragi. And your team sensei is…" Iruka winced as he saw the name. "Anko Mitarashi." Iruka said just loud enough for the front row to hear, which is where Sakura was sitting.

After several hours of waiting, and everyone else having already left, Kakashi finally showed up, however, he also was holding a orange book in one hand as Naruto got mad and threw a kunai at him which he dodged only for the kunai to cut a wire and dumped a bucket of water on the Jounin's head, ruining the book in his hand as he fell to the ground crying about lost art.

"Fine, meet me on the roof so we can get this over with." Kakashi said, his good mood gone for the day as he tried to salvage his book, only for Naruto to hit it with a small fireball which incinerated the remains as Kakashi turned to glare angrily at Naruto.

"Actually, you know what, let's just do this here so I can get away from you three brats, especially you, art desecrator!" Kakashi shouted at Naruto, who pulled his pinky from his ear before saying, "Huh, you say something?" Kakashi falling to the ground again as he complained about brats stealing his lines.

"Ahh well, my name is Naruto, I like ramen, Naruko-chan, training, battle and cats. My dream is to live a long and successful life and start a family with my beloved. My dislikes are perverts, idiots, Kakashi-sensei, and dogs." Naruto said as he motioned for Naruko to go next as Kakashi went back to glaring at Naruto who ignored him.

"Well, my name is Naruko Uzumaki, my likes are ramen, Naruto-kun, training, the color red, and…blood." She said, although she whispered the last one too low for anyone but Naruto to hear. "My dislikes are perverts, civilians who can't tell the difference between a scroll and a kunai, dogs, old men besides Jiji, and wastes of my time. My dream for the future is to become Hokage, and to have a family with Naruto-kun." Naruko said before slapping Sasuke on the back as he took his turn.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, and I don't really have any likes, and far too many dislikes to list, I also don't have a dream as it will come true, which is to kill a certain man who did certain things to my family." Sasuke said before Naruto let out a low, "Sasuke!" causing the Genin to whirl around on his heel and get in the fetal position on the floor whispering, "No, Sasuke is a good boy, he will be good because Sasuke is a good boy, master, please don't hurt Sasuke, master."

"Well, that was interesting, okay, for your first test, meet me at training ground 7 tomorrow at 7, and don't eat breakfast because you'll lose it otherwise, got it?" Kakashi said as he left in a Shushin.

"Well, that was certainly interesting." Naruto said as Sasuke asked Naruko for a date.

"No. Hey Naru-kun, do you want to go on a date with me?" Naruko asked as the older boy nodded, the young couple walking away.

A/N: Well, what did you guys think of this abnormally long chapter. I never planned for it to go this long, but I had a place I wanted to get to, and so I kept going and going until; all this happened. I actually think this is the longest chapter I've ever put out. A lot of time skips, and therefore unseen parts, but I think it helps with plot development so enjoy yourselves with some wild theories because you never know when you may be right on the dot with them. Have a good day.
