A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews… I can't say thanks enough… THANK YOU!!! I feel like less of a loser when you guys review… I want to cry (from happiness)!!! Any ways… enough of the blubbering. I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter as much as I did… I love Ero-Sennin, I cried when he died… I still think he's alive… He almost died two times, so I think he can live through one more… They can't kill off the ultimate pervert… TT.TT
Based on anime and manga Naruto

"My dad told me to always hide my scars from everyone… I don't know why though…" she said scratching her head in confusion.
"I have an idea…" Jiraiya said to himself as they headed in the direction of the forest for their training.
Chapter 12: The Seal
"Okay Naruto, that's enough training for today" Jiraiya said as he looked at the blonde on the ground breathing heavily and on the verge passing out from exhaustion.
"No! I can go longer," she opposed as she tried to stand.
"You probably could… but I have to talk to you about something."
"Huh? What?" she said giving him a look of confusion.
"First of all… are you a girl?"
"Wha–"
"Don't lie to me," he said, no commanded, leaving no room for disagreements.
Naruko panicked, "I… uh… well…"
"You can trust me Naruto," Jiraiya said putting a hand on her shoulder and giving her a comforting smile.
She sighed before replying with a quiet 'yes', "… but my name is Naruko…"
"I knew it," he responded.
"What?"
"Let me guess your name is Naruko Uzumaki…"
"How… How did you know?" she asked in amazement, the pervert knew her true name.
"You don't remember…?" he asked in astonishment. 'How can she not remember…? Minato must have put a seal on her that made her forget… hm… I wonder where he put it.'
"What are you thinking you pervert?" Naruko asked as she walked a couple feet away from him.
"What?"
"You have that perverted grin on your face…" she glared as she pointed at him.
He cleared his throat before saying, "Lift up your shirt…"
"WHAT!?!?!?!?" she screamed, on the verge of killing the perverted man.
"Not like that… show me your stomach… I have to check for something…"
"No!" she stated plainly.
"Then I'll just have to tell everyone your true identity…" Jiraiya smirked as he turned away from the blonde girl. 'Ha! Who's blackmailing who now…" Jiraiya cheered in his head… hook, line, and sinker. (1)
"I hate you old man," Naruko glared as fierce as she could. She glared a little longer before sighing in defeat and hesitantly lifted her shirt, giving Jiraiya a perfect view of her stomach. Before Jiraiya could get a good view, Naruko added, "Don't even think about doing anything perverted," which clearly stated if he even thought of doing anything outside of the 'safe' zone, she would kill him in the most horrifying ways possible. And if that wasn't clear… the look she was giving him clearly said it.
Jiraiya gulped before continuing to examine the mark on her stomach. 'Hm… that's not it, that's the Kyuubi seal… I was right in my assumption, she's the princess… but where did Minato put the memory seal… well, the only other reasonable place would be on her back… just great…'
"Turn around…"
"What?"
"I said turn around… I think it's on your back…"
"What's on my back?" she asked as she turned around and lifting up her shirt in the back, revealing a swirl-like seal located on her lower back.
"There it is… the memory seal," Jiraiya murmured as he gathered chakra on the tips of his fingers.
Before she could ask what a memory seal was she felt a sharp pain in her lower back and screamed out in pain as she passed out.
She cursed the pervert as she slipped into a deep darkness…
"Daddy!"
"Huh? Who's there?" Naruko asked as she looked around, she was in the Uchiha royal garden.
"Daddy!"
Naruko turned in the direction of the voice. Standing before here was a little girl with bright blonde hair and stunning azure eyes, but the one thing that stood out about the girl was she had three whisker marks on both cheeks. Naruko stared wide eyed at the little girl as she touched her own cheeks, 'this… this is me when I was a little girl. Are these my missing memories…?'
"Daddy!" the little girl yelled as she ran past Naruko and toward a tall man with the same bright hair and azure eyes.
"Hello sweetheart…" the man greeted as he picked up the girl.
"Daddy… do I have to meet the prince," the girl pouted giving him the infamous Naruko Uzumaki puppy dog look.
Naruko smirked at her younger self… that look worked almost every time.
"Yes sweetheart, you do… don't worry… you two are bound to become best friends…" the man smiled reassuringly.
"Minato! Long time no see old friend…" said a man that appeared, Naruko immediately recognized the man as the king of the Uchiha Kingdom.
"Fugaku (2)! How are Mikoto and Itachi doing?" Minato said as he shook hands with the king.
"Good, good," the man laughed before turning his attention to the young Naruko, "So this is the little princess… she's a beautiful one Minato, looks just like you…"
"I WAS A PRINCESS!!!" Naruko shouted, but slapped a hand over her mouth, hoping she wouldn't be noticed, but they continued as if they couldn't hear her. 'They must not be able to hear me… good…" she thought as she kept watching.
"Are you saying I'm beautiful, Fugaku… I don't think your wife will be too happy…" Minato joked as he winked.
"Oh ha ha, Minato… you so funny…" the king said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.
"Are you boys done flirting yet?" said a beautiful woman with long black hair. Next to her was a young Itachi standing proudly.
"Mikoto! You look beautiful," Minato said as he kissed to woman's hand politely before turning to Itachi, "Itachi… you've grown so much since the last time I saw you… How are you?"
"Good, King Uzumaki," Itachi replied bowing.
"Please, call me Minato," he said waving his hand dismissively and turning back to Mikoto, "Where's little prince Sasuke at?"
"Oh! He should be around here somewhere… he was just playing with his friend Shikamaru…" Mikoto said as she looked around, "Sasuke!"
"Yes mom!?" shouted a little boy with raven hair and his signature duck butt hair as he ran up to the group of people.
"Hello Sasuke, I'm Minato and this is my daughter Naruko…" Minato said as he pointed to the little girl trying to hide behind her father.
"H-hi. I'm Naruko Uzumaki," the little Naruko said nervously, walking out from behind her father.
"No duh, dobe. You're father has already established that," Sasuke said in his usual snobbish tone.
"Sasuke!" his mother, Mikoto, scolded, "Mind your manners."
"Hn, Why should I?" Sasuke said as he glared at the little blonde girl.
"What did you call me?" the girl asked in disbelief.
"... dobe…"
"I AM NOT A DOBE, TEME!!!" the blonde screamed.
"Naruk–" Minato said but was interrupted by Sasuke.
"DOBE!!"
"TEME!!"
"DOBE!!"
"TEME!!"
"Naruko!" Minato roared, shutting up both Sasuke and Naruko.
"Sasu-chan… that wasn't very nice…" Mikoto said sweetly.
"Mom!" Sasuke whined, "Don't call me that…"
"Hehehehe," Naruko giggled, "Sasu-chan!"
"I said don't call me that," Sasuke glared, but suddenly smirked, "Naru-chan!"
"Hey!!" Naruko pouted, but eventually glared at the raven.
The two continued to glare at each other as the others just shook their heads… ugh children.
After that everything faded back into darkness…
"Naruto! Naruto can you hear me? DOBE!!"
Naruko jumped up into a sitting position holding her ears after someone shouted in her ear, "WHAT!?"
"Are you okay?"
Naruko turned her head and saw that it was Sasuke who was calling her name, "Ugh! Where am I teme?" she asked as she looked around and noticed she was once again in Sasuke's room.
"I found you passed out on the ground and I brought you back here…" the raven said trailing off as he looked around the room.
"Oh? Thanks Sasuke…" Naruko said smiling.
Sasuke blushed before replying, "Dobe… I need to start charging you for every time I save your ass."
"Okay," Naruko said as she got off the bed, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and headed to the door, "See you later Sasu-chan…"
"What?" Sasuke said surprised, but the blonde had already left, "What did he just call me? Did he just kiss me on the cheek? Why am I blushing? Why am I talking to myself?... I swear Naruto is going to be the death of me…"
A/N:
1) Is that the right phrase… hook, line, and sinker… I don't know… whatever
2) Is that how you spell 'Fugaku'?
I hope this chapter answered any questions you may have had… If it raises more questions, good… that's what I'm going for… XD
I actually updated pretty fast this time… you got to give me credit for that…
