When Naruto awoke he smelled food and he looked around and saw that a tray of food was in his room and thought "room service is already up and running huh. Might as well see if I got any cloths here." as he began to eat before looking for some cloths and finding a pair of black pants, a white shirt and red vest with several black pair of boxers.

Naruto grabbed him some cloths and walked into the bathroom and took a shower and after getting dressed looked into the room next to the one he was in and frowned as he thought "It doesn't seem right without Sakura here." as he returned to his room and looked around closely and thought "Basically everything including my armor is here and almost in the same place I left them. That's good." as he grabbed 2 books and his glasses and sealed the book in a scroll and put the glasses in their case and slipped it in his vest while putting the scroll in his pocket.

Naruto soon got to the court yard and saw several squads doing exercises and he rubbed his face and thought "why oh why did everyone have to find out about me." as he walked over to the wall and began to run up and down the wall and as he got to the bottom of the wall he would punch the ground and run back up the wall and kick the air before turning around doing it all over again.

After 20 minutes of this he began to back flip off the wall and landed on his feet but continued running for another 20 minutes. As he was doing this several squads also began to do this and after 10 minutes the squads who were doing it also realized Naruto was doing it a lot faster then they were earning the respect of a few.

After the 20 minute time passed Naruto began doing jumping jacks, push ups sit ups, squats, and began to punch and kick while moving in kata for Taijutsu and then Kenjutsu.

After an hour of this Naruto looked at the sky and sighed as he looked back down and saw Obito standing there in his armor without his helmet and Naruto said "Morning Captain."

Obito said "Good morning. You still haven't finished the regular morning workout Cadet."

Naruto said "I know. I have to be at the academy in half an hour captain. I still like another 50 minutes of basics before I would finish the standard warm ups."

Obito said "Noted. You will have to do double the normal work out this afternoon then when you return."

Naruto nods and said "Right....please pass the word to everyone that I am not much on formality so they don't have to show me respect unless they feel I earned it. Not because of who my family is or was." as he unsealed one of his book and put on his glasses as he turned and began to walk away.

Those squads who were still in the court yard were shocked hearing this and Obito slipped on his helmet and said "Get back to work. The prince isn't going to slack off on his training so none of you are either. If you don't finish your training in the time required you will have to do double the work out like he is this afternoon."

Naruto was just about out of the castle when he heard a disturbance in the barn and he went to look what was going on. When he got there he saw Cloud Runner running around a pole that he was tied to while a guard was on the ground rubbing his shoulder and Naruto smirked and walked in and said "Trying to break him huh." making the guard look at Naruto and said in a shocked voice "Your highness." as he quickly got up and saluted Naruto.

Naruto waved his hand and said "Relax, the names Naruto, what's yours."

The guard said "Orion your majesty."

Naruto sighed and said "Got any sugar cubes."

The guard said "Yes sir, over there on the table." as he pointed to a table on the side of the barn.

Naruto walked over and grabbed a few and walked back over and walked toward Cloud Runner with the cubes out in his hand and the guard said "Your highness, please be careful. He's still wild and might....."

Naruto shot him a glare and the guard shut up and Naruto turned back and said "Hey boy, I got you a nice treat here, come on." as he moved slowly and got to about 3 feet away.

Cloud runner looked at Naruto and then his hand and after a few seconds slowly walked over and and began to like the sugar cubes and Naruto raised his hand and began to rub Cloud runners neck while sending a small amount of chakra into his hand and then down to his left front leg and then right behind the joint where his leg connected to his body and began to rub while still using his chakra to rub it.

Cloud runner stood there after eating the sugar and Naruto slowly worked his way back up to his neck and got in front of cloud runner and moved his hand away and Cloud runner looked Naruto in the eyes and Naruto said "Can I climb on."

The guard was shocked seeing this and cloud runner turned to the side and Naruto unclipped the rope that connected him to the pole and climb up on cloud runner bare back and for a moment cloud runner leaned back and Naruto said "Whoa there....easy boy....easy." in a kind voice.

A few moments of calming down cloud runner shook his head and Naruto smiled and said "Lets go for a small ride outside and get some fresh air, what do you say boy."

Cloud runner moved his head up and down and Naruto looked at Orion and said "Open the doors to the coral. I'm going to ride him a little and let him get use to me."

Orion stuttered "Yes sir." as he opened the door and Naruto lightly kicked and using chakra to hold onto Cloud runners mane they walked out to the coral and for 10 minutes they trotted in the coral.

Naruto then walked them back into the barn and gave cloud runner another sugar cube and said "That's all the sweets for today. Now be good and I will try to ride you again in the morning, alright."

Cloud runner nods his head and Naruto lead him into a stall and after closing the door said "Please make sure you brush him up and give him some oats and water later. Is he going to anyone."

Orion said "No sir. We just got him 2 weeks ago with 10 others and today was the first chance I had to work with him at all."

Naruto said "Then mark him as my personal horse and his names cloud runner."

Orion said "Yes your highness. I'll put him in the stall next to swift for you."

Naruto said "Very well. Well I must me going, have a good day Orion." as he walked out of the barn and pulled his book back out and slipped his glasses back on.

Orion looked at Cloud runner and said "I like him. I was afraid he was going to have a sword shoved up his ass but he doesn't. He should be a good master for you." as he got some oats and water and put them in Cloud runner new stall and got a brush and began to brush him.

Naruto after he left the castle shushined to the academy roof and walked over to the door and walked in and down the stairs still reading his book and he heard the noise coming from Iruka class room and he took a deep breath and sighed as he opened the door and walked in still reading his book and the room got silent and Naruto kept his face in the book ignoring all the looks he was getting and said "Sorry I'm late."

Iruka said "The worlds coming to an end, you actually taking time to read."

Naruto looked up and Iruka said "I like the glasses but you don't wear glasses...do you."

Naruto said "Just reading glasses. I've worn glasses before but nobody but me and the Hokage knew that my goggles were actually my reading glasses."

Iruka eyes widen and said "Oh...sorry about that then Naruto, if I knew they were reading glasses I wouldn't of kept ordering you to remove them."

Naruto said "It's alright. It's my fault for thinking everyone would make fun of me if they knew I had to wear glasses. Anyways am I late for team assignments. I would have been here earlier but I ran into an old friend that needed help so I helped him."

Iruka said "No, your not late as I just got here myself. Please take a seat your highness."

Naruto groaned and said "Please don't do that. I'm still trying to get use to the fact of finding out who my parents were and that I actually have family and I've been lied to and hated for years for something I don't even have. I'm still the same idiot who painted the Hokage monument, I'm still the same person I was 2 days ago, I'm still Naruto...just a little wiser."

Iruka smiled and said "Right, take a seat Naruto."

Naruto nods and walked over to where Sakura was sitting beside Sasuke and sat down beside her.

Iruka said "Alright class, now I know that you must all be excited about being a ninja and I wish to welcome you to the ranks of....yes Naruto, was is it."

Naruto said "You might want to take a step to the right and back a step."

Iruka looked confused and then the sound of something breaking could be heard and he quickly jumped back and the tiles in the roof broke as a body was seen falling to the ground below where Iruka was standing moments before."

After the crash a coughing sound was heard and there was standing Konohamaru who looked around and saw Naruto and said "You....you foiled my trap, didn't you." pointing at Naruto.

Naruto slapped his head and said "What do you want Konohamaru."

Iruka looked around and said "What were you doing in the ceiling." in a demanding voice.

Konohamaru didn't have a chance to speak when the door to the room was busted open and Ebisu stood there and screamed "Honorable grandson, what happened to you and why are...." he shut up as a scroll hit him in the face and he turned and saw Naruto who was glaring at him and said "Your Konohamaru sensei Ebisu right."

Ebisu said "I am the..."

Naruto said "Yes or no please."

Ebisu sneered and said "Yes I am."

Naruto asked "Then why do you always call him honorable grandson instead of his name. Your treating him just like everyone else has always treated me before today, it was always what I am to them, not who I am. You refer to him as what he is, not who he is. No wonder you spend so many hours trying to chase him around the village, why should he listen to someone who won't even call him his name."

Ebisu said "I am the instructor of Hokage's and how I teach my students is..."

Naruto interrupted him and said "And exactly how many Hokage have you taught. By my count you have trained Zero so don't give yourself a bigger head then Iruka-sensei big head no jutsu." causing Iruka to bit his lip and a few people snicker.

Naruto looked at Konohamaru and said "Hey Konohamaru, how about proving a point. If your sensei over there and I both wanted to teach you the same jutsu at the same time but you could only pick one of us, which one of us would you actually want to teach you and you would listen to."

Konohamaru looked back and forward and opened his mouth and Ebisu said "It doesn't matter what..." as he was suddenly lifted off the floor and into the ceiling burying his head in the tiles before he fell back on the ground and everyone was shocked and Naruto looked at Sakura who had put both her hands in front of her face to hide the smile that only Naruto could see hanging on her lips.

Kiba said "What the hell happened."

Naruto said "I think a beautiful goddess decided to bring divine justice on him for being an idiot and shut the idiot up." causing Sakura cheeks to turn pink though only Naruto could see it.

Iruka walked over to Ebisu and tap his face a couple of times and then as he awoke asked "Are you OK."

Ebisu said "Yes, what happened."

Konohamaru said "Your so full of hot air that you actually flew into the air to deflate your head." causing the entire class to burst out laughing.

Kiba said "Burn kid, that was awesome."

Ebisu said "Come along honorab..."

Konohamaru screamed "I HAVE A NAME AND IT'S NOT HONORABLE GRANDSON. YOU'VE BEEN MY SENSEI FOR A YEAR AND YOU HAVE NOT CALLED ME BY MY NAME ONCE." shocking everyone in the class.

Ebisu frowned and took a deep breath and said "Forgive me Hon...I mean Konohamaru. I just wanted to give you a shortcut to....."

Naruto said "Ebisu, please stop lying to him. I've heard your declaration before and there are NO shortcuts to being Hokage. If there was don't you think I would have taken them YEARS ago. The only way to be Hokage is to train hard, make the village the most important thing in your life to you and protect it with your life. By you saying that there are shortcuts to being Hokage means that your spitting on the Will of Fire that all the Hokage have spoken about since the founding of our village. So which is it, do you really believe that all the Hokage have been wrong up till now and that your smarter, stronger, and wiser then they are and if so then why are you chasing a first year academy student then sitting in the Hokage office and sending people on mission that could cost them their lives."

At this everyone in the room was shocked by what they were hearing and Ebisu frowned and looked at Konohamaru who was looking at Naruto with respect and Ebisu saw this and said "I see your point and you have proven that I have been wrong about the way I have acted and tried to train Konohamaru.....If you will still have me train you I will try to do a better job of training you Konohamaru."

Konohamaru looked back and forward and after a moment he said "Alright sensei, I'll go with you but.....YOU, You are now my boss." pointing at Naruto.

A book hit him in the head and Naruto said "Don't be an idiot, I got enough people calling me that already. Right now you need to worry about working hard and listening to your sensei to prove your you and not Honorable grandson."

Konohamaru rubbed his head where the book hit him and said "That's it, come on sensei, I got to prove that to boss that I will be his greatest subordinate." as he ran out the room and Naruto slammed his head against the desk.

Ebisu looked at Naruto and said "I think you just opened a can of worms....by the way, when did you get so wise."

Naruto said with his head still down "I've always been wise, just not book smart." as a Kagebunshin appeared and grabbed the book and set it back down on the desk and went up in smoke.

Ebisu said "I guess I was wrong about you Naruto-san." as he left.

Naruto looked up wide eyed and said "Did he....." as he looked at where Ebisu had been standing as a real smile came on Naruto face.

Iruka smiled and said "Alright class. Now that our....wait, how did you know that he was going to fall through the tiles." as he looked at Naruto.

Naruto said "I smelled mint tobacco. Only someone who spends a lot of time around the Hokage would smell like that and only a kid can fit in the tiles between the ceiling and the tiles. Trust me on that. Besides me, the only kid that could spend enough time around the Hokage to smell like that is Konohamaru his grandson. I then saw dust falling from the tiles and knew from experience what was about to happen so I warned you."

Ino asked "How did you know him and why did you help him out Naruto-kun."

Naruto eyebrow twitched as did Sakura and Naruto said "I helped change his diapers when he was a baby when I was spending time with the Hokage after....." as he closed his eyes and looked away with a frown.

Iruka saw this and looked down and Sakura looked worried and Kiba asked "After what."

Naruto said "Nothing Kiba. It's in the past anyways. Can we find out our teams sensei." in a quieter voice shocking everyone.

Iruka said "Yes, Team 1 will be........team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Namikaze."

Ino screamed "What, why does Sakura get to be on the same team as Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun."

Naruto said "The dead last and the rookie of the year are always put together along with the highest ranking kunoichi. No matter what I'm still the same person I was 2 days ago so I'm still the dead last"

Ino frowned and looked at Iruka and Iruka said "He's right. Now team 8 will be Kiba, Shino and Hinata. Team 9 is still in service from last year so team 10 will be Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji. Now that you know what teams you are on there has been a slight change this year with the new arrival of the Eternians. Team 1,2, and 3 are now squad 31. Teams 4, 5, and 6 are now squad 32 and Teams 7,8, and 10 are now squad 33. You will find out more about this later when your sensei pick you up. Your sensei will be here shortly and good luck" as he shot a look at Naruto and left.

After he was gone Kiba asked "So you can talk to cat's huh. Must suck having be dead last in not only book grades but also the food chain."

A voice from the back of the room shocking everyone said "Are you saying I am at the bottom of the food chain human." as everyone turned around and paled and Naruto said "Kaze, that you." as he got up and looked and saw Kaze sitting there.

Kaze said "Hello brother, how are you doing."

Naruto said "Fine, how are you here and where is your mate and cub." as he looked around.

Kaze said "They are at the castle and I told you when I gave you that mark on your hand that we are now blood brothers. You saved my mate and cub from fur trappers and I would do the same for you. Captain Iku brought me here and will be here shortly so I followed your scent to here." as his eyes darted from Naruto to Sakura who smiled slightly but only Naruto and Sakura saw this.

Naruto said "So what are you doing here."

Kaze said "Her majesty said since I am your companion that I should be seen with you so people will know that I am your companion."

Naruto nods and a whimpering sound was heard and Kiba said "Oh man Akamaru, did you have to do that." as a wet spot appeared on Kiba coat.

Naruto bit his lip to keep from laughing and Ino said "That's a tiger." in a stutter.

Sakura said "What about it Ino-pig. Hello Kaze, it's good to see you again." shocking everyone but Naruto.

Kaze said "And you as well Sakura. How are you feeling today."

Sakura said "Better then the last time I saw you."

Kaze nods and Ino said "Wait, you know him Forehead. How."

Sakura said "Yeah, we met before."

Just then the door to the room opened and 13 people walked in and Naruto said "Oh shit." as he quickly sat down beside Sakura who was getting pale.

Obito stepped forward and said "For those of you who don't know me, my name is Uchiha Obito but you will call me Captain Iku. I am the captain of the Royal guard and the new Konoha police force. As part of the new treaty between Konoha and Eternia the way Gennins squads are done will be changed. Normally only 3 teams would become ninja this year and the other teams would be sent back to the academy or dropped from the ninja program. This year however the 6 teams that do not become ninja will be worked into the Konoha police force. Now I am sure your all wondering who will become ninja and who won't. Over the next month you all will be given the training that all of the Royal guard do. The best squad will be the team that will become ninja and the other 2 teams will be worked into the other squads. Now you will notice there are 3 who are wearing armor like I am, those 3 will be your squad leaders. Squad 31 will have Ido here as your squad leader. You will follow his orders and you will always answer yes sir. Anyone who fails to follow orders will be punished with extra training. Failure to do the extra training in the time order will result in you being dropped from the program. This goes for all squads. Do I make myself clear."

Naruto and Sakura said "Yes Sir."

Obito said "I can't hear you."

At this everyone quickly said "Yes sir."

Obito said "Good, now squad 31, please go with your squad leader and your Jounin sensei. They will explain in more detail what you are to do."

Teams 1, 2, and 3 quickly left along with 3 Jounin's and one of the royal guards. Obito looked around and said "Squad 32, your squad leader will be Toro here, just like squad 31 you will follow his orders, now please go with him and your Jounin sensei."

As team 4, 5, and 6 left Obito looked around the room and both were pale and Obito said "Now squad 33, the last squad leader is yours. Her name is Evelyn. You will follow her orders and answer her as yes sir. Now she will explain along with your Jounin sensei what is your training. Good luck." as he left in a swirl of leaves.

Evelyn walked forward and said "Listen up Cadets. I don't care who you are or who your families are. I was given your squad because your all spoiled rotten brats who think your hot shit because your from a clan. Guess what. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I demand your absolute best all the time. If you don't give your all I will punish you and trust me, you won't like it. Now behind me is your Jounin sensei, Hatake Kakashi, Kurenai Yuuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi. Starting tomorrow you will get up at 4 am and get ready for the day and you will meet at the castle court yards at 5 am and I mean you have better be in squad formation at 5 am because if your late you will be punished along with your entire squad. Now from 5 am to 8 am we will be doing warm up exercises which consist of 1000 jumping jacks, 1000 sit ups, 1000 push ups, 1000 punches with each arm, 1000 kicks with each leg and you will then begin running around the court yard for the remainder of the time."

At this all the Gennins but Naruto and Sakura paled. Evelyn said "This is both our warm up and cool down exercise If you do not finish all of your exercises in the time period you are given to do them then after teams are dismissed whoever did not complete them will have to do another 1000 of each until you get your endurance, speed and stamina up to where you can do them in the time period you are given. Now from 8 am till 10 am we will be working on chakra control where you will have to walk up and down a tree and when you get to the top of a tree using chakra you are to use one leg and kick the air above you and when you get to the bottom of the tree you will punch the ground. This works to make you more flexible as well as make your knuckles and skin around them harder so when you punch something it does more damage. You will do this switching back and forward until time is up. After that we will run around the village from 10 am till 11 am and each day I expect at least an extra lap around the village to be added. Now at 11 am you will have an hour lunch break but at 12 o'clock you will meet back up in squad formation and we will patrol the village for 3 hours. At 3 o'clock we will have Taijutsu training where if you have a clans style of Taijutsu you will work on it and if you don't then you will work on the one either your Jounin instructor teaches you or I teach you. We will do this until 4."

Kiba said "Are you trying to kill us."

A lightning bolt hit the desk in front of him making him shake in fear and Evelyn said "There is no talking allowed during duty hours unless it is directly related to duty. Do you understand me."

Everyone said quickly "Yes sir."

Evelyn said "Good. Now from 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock we will work on Kenjutsu. If you have a preferred weapon besides kunais and shurikens this is when you will train with it....if you don't have one, get one. Now at 5 o'clock we will divide up into 3 team and your Jounin instructors will teach you either strategy, ninjutsu, or genjutsu until 7. At 7 we will do our cool down exercises till you do the 1000 you are ordered to do and if you have any punishment you will have to do them then. Once you do 1000 of each you are dismissed for the day. This is our training every 3 days. The second day will consist of the warm up and cool down exercise and then Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, 3 hours each as well as patrol of the village from 12 till 3. On the third day you will have Kenjutsu, strategy, team work and chakra control along with the patrol of the village from 12 till 3."

Naruto said "Question sir."

Evelyn said "Yes Cadet, what is it."

Naruto said "If we are doing patrol of the village between 12 and 3 what are the hours the other 2 teams are on patrol in case we have to contact them for an emergency."

Evelyn said "Good question. From 9 to 12 squad 31 has patrol and from 3 to 6 squad 32 has patrol of the village. This will free up our other squads so they make rotate each of the other squads in and give them time off."

Shikamaru said "Troublesome, question sir."

Evelyn said "Yes Cadet and keep chatter clear."

Shikamaru asked "When will we have our days off and what are we being paid to do this."

Evelyn said "We do this with a 8 on 2 off schedule. Squad 31 will be off this Friday and Saturday, squad 32 will be off this coming Sunday and Monday and we will have Tuesday and Wednesday. As for what you are being paid. You are being paid a B-rank mission pay at the end of your 8 days. But don't think that since you have those 2 days off your free. Those 2 days off will have you doing missions for the village to work on your individual teamwork. One or 2 D-rank missions a day."

Asuma said "This is only for the next month so we can see which squad is ready to be ninja and which isn't. Depending on which squads pass and fail this test will decide on the change of the schedule. Do you all understand."

Kiba said "Yeah, this is going to be hell....Wait sorry sir." as he waved his hand as he saw Evelyn raising her hand to fire another lightning bolt at him.

Evelyn said "Good, since it is 11 o'clock lets get lunch and then you are all to come to the castle to receive your uniform that you must wear for the next month. Dismissed." as she transformed into a snake and slithered out of the room shocking everyone but Naruto.

Naruto slumped back into his seat and looked at all the kids leaving except for Sasuke and Sakura and he said "What's up teme."

Sasuke said "I think you understand what I've been going through."

Naruto thought a moment and Sakura asked "What are you talking about Sasuke-kun."

Naruto said "The fact everyone treats him just as they treat me and Konohamaru. They see what he is and not who he is. Am I right teme."

Sasuke nods and said "Yes, by the way, your cousins tough." making Naruto and Sakura wide eyed.

Sakura said "You think Evelyn is tough."

Naruto said "Wait, hold up. How the hell do you know she's my cousin. As far as I know nobody knows about that."

Sasuke raised his long sleeve shirt and showed Naruto and Sakura a scar that Sakura recognized since she had one on her leg and he said "Last night when everyone showed up at the Uchiha estates I kind of lost it and she confronted me and.....as much as I hate to admit it she beat the shit out of me and explained a few things to me....like how Eternia is not a country but an entire planet." as he shot a look at Naruto and Sakura.

Naruto frowned and Sasuke said "Relax. I know that both you and Sakura been there before and Sakura your personal body guard. How and when that happened I don't know but I will keep quite."

Sakura said "Then are you thinking that since I'm his guard I can't go out with you." as she bit her lip.

Sasuke shrugged and said "I know your not together since you didn't attack Ino for calling Naruto 'kun' earlier but I don't know if I will ever like you as more then we are now.....Well I got to go get ready. I moved back into my family house near the castle dobe." as he opened the window and jumped out.

Naruto sighed and said "What a day." as he rubbed his face.

Sakura said "Yeah but wait until everyone learns what Evelyn is like. She's going to kill them."

Naruto said "Probably....your armor is still in your room. I saw it when I looked to see if you might be there."

Sakura nods and said "Then lets go eat at the castle and then get ready."

Naruto put his hand on Sakura shoulder and they were gone in a swirl of leaves.

They appeared in Naruto room at the castle and Sakura said "Your going to have to teach me that."

Naruto said "Sure. Anyone from squad 15 on up must know how to do it so when I got moved to squad 1 it was one of the first things I learned."

Sakura nods and began to walk toward her room when Naruto asked "Sakura."

Sakura stopped and said "Yeah." as she looked over her shoulder.

Naruto bit his lip and asked "If Ino or someone else asks me out what do you want me to tell them."

Sakura looked down and after several moments said "I still can't say yes or no...I don't know why so....."

Naruto said "I understand." as the room was silent for several moments and Sakura said "Well we better get ready to eat and get dressed." as she went to her room closing the bathroom door.

Naruto slumped on his bed and thought "Why can't you answer yes or no thought. I know I love you and I would say yes in an instant so why can't you, even after we had sex you still can't answer it." as he closed his eyes.

In Sakura room she was laying on her bed and she looked at the ceiling and had tears in her eyes and thought "Why can't I answer that simple question. Why am I so confused. Do I love Sasuke or do I love Naruto......I gave myself to him and he made me feel like I was in heaven but now I'm hurting him because I can't say I love him. What do I do."
