A/N: Hey everyone, Sorcerer12 here with the next chapter, thanks for all your feedback, I have gone back and made changes to the previous chapter, so the dialogue isn't so locked together. I also forgot to thank my beta reader from Reddit, thank you to WiseDude7789.
Now to address some of the reviews
Calvonta109: Yes, I'm going to give him the Flying Thunder God Technique, that's why he pocketed the kunai in the previous chapter, I'm just trying not to make him to OP too fast, so I'm debating when to give him the Hirashin.
EndingF4te: Thank you for the encouragement, I will do my best to have the dialogue more spaced out.
MaskedSharingan: Thank you for finding the story for me.
TheShamanMaster: I would love it if you were a beta reader, still trying to work out this whole beta thing.
Novrier: I appreciate the transparency in the review, I will work on dialogue and narrative spacing. I have seen other people do authors' notes mid-chapter, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. As for the Mask Temple, I didn't know exactly where the temple was located, and I wanted Naruto to get hooked on fuinjutsu in the first chapter. I don't like it in fics where you have to wait till like 7 chapters in that a character gets a bloodline or a weapon, I like to know what to look forward to, I removed the authors not that went into detail about the bloodlines as I saw that it was unneeded after posting the first chapter. I will do my best to make Naruto a well-rounded character in terms of character development and all that jazz. As for how Naruto will work within the romance and adventure genre, well adventure is a very broad category, so I don't see an issue in how it will work. Your review wasn't negative per se, transparent yes, negative not quite.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, or anything linked to them or any of the characters, except for the characters and concepts that I created. Even then some of the concepts are not mine, I will try and give credit where credit is due.

Chapter 2
Tenants and Training
Naruto woke up the next morning feeling rejuvenated, 'Kami, I feel restored. Yesterday was a wild one; first I find a special kunai that belongs to my idol, I find out that I have family that's alive, I find out why everyone treats me so badly, and I finally have someone to help train me. Well, I guess it's time to eat, grab some ramen for lunch, and head to the academy.'.
Naruto got out of bed and got dressed, and heads to the cabinet to grab some ramen for breakfast and lunch. Upon opening the cabinet he sees that he is running low on ramen. 'I should go to the store after school to restock on ramen.' he grabs 4 cups of ramen, 2 for breakfast and 2 for lunch at the academy, Naruto goes over to the faucet filling up both cups of ramen and then puts them in the microwave for about 4 minutes. After Naruto finished his ramen he heads for the door, putting his shoes on before heading out the door.
Academy
Upon reaching his classroom Naruto opens the door, taking note that Iruka was there but there were still some people not there indicating that he was not late. Naruto walks to his seat next to Sasuke, a few minutes later Naruto hears running in the hall, looking towards the door waiting for it to open so he could see who it was, 5 seconds later the door slams open startling a few people, at the door was Ino and Sakura.
"I beat you to the door Ino-pig that means that I get to sit next to Sasuke-kun!" proclaimed Sakura with a big grin on her face, breathing slightly heavier than normal.
"Nah uh, my foot crossed the door's threshold first meaning that I beat you Forehead!" countered Ino, glaring at Sakura, also breathing slightly heavier than normal.
"Well, I called dibs down the hall!" Sakura shot back, now butting heads with Ino. Lightning sparking between them.
"Can you girls please stop arguing and just sit down please?" Iruka said calmly
"And why would Sasuke-kun want someone with a big forehead that could block his view sitting next to him!" Ino shot back once again
"And why would Sasuke-kun want a pig sitting next to him, you probably smell!" shot Sakura with a grin plastered on her face
"GIRLS WOULD YOU STOP ARGUING AND PLEASE SIT DOWN!" yelled Iruka using his Big Head no Jutsu to get their attention, startling the girls and waking Shikamaru up
"Do you girls always have to be so troublesome every day? I'm trying to sleep here, and I can't with you two shouting at each other over a troublesome seat." asked a Groggy Shikamaru rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"BUTT OUT OF THIS PINEAPPLE HEAD, BEFORE I GIVE YOU A REASON TO SLEEP!" threatened Ino, waving her fist at Shikamaru.
"You blondes are such a troublesome drag" stated Shikamaru before putting his head back down, trying to fall back asleep
"Ino you go sit next to Shikamaru, Sakura you next to Naruto. No arguments" commanded Iruka with a stern glare
"Why do I have to sit next to Shikamaru? Why does Sakura get to sit near Sasuke-kun?" whined Ino, with a pout on her face
"Because I'm sexier Ino" said Sakura with a grin
'Yes, yes you are Sakura-chan' thought Naruto
"I SAID GO SIT DOWN!" yelled Iruka now with a Big Red Face, steam coming out of his ears
This caused both girls to stop their bickering and swiftly make their way towards their now assigned seats.
A few minutes later and everyone else including Mizuki arrived and went to their seats. "Ok everyone, I hope you studied, because today there will be a quiz, I'm sure not all of you studied so I will do a quick summary of all the subjects before getting into the quiz" Iruka told the class.
'Well, I'm fucked.' stated Naruto 'Well may as well pay attention anyways might learn a few things.'
An hour later Iruka was finally done with the summary and had Mizuki pass the tests out to everyone. When he got to Naruto, he handed him his test, 'Good luck passing this test Nine-Tails brat' thought Mizuki.
But Naruto felt something was off, quickly flaring his chakra, he watched as the stuff on the paper changed from difficult questions to somewhat easy questions. 'Well, I guess that Mizuki-teme is one of the people that are trying to hold my back. I'll make note of this for later on.'. Naruto thought as he started his test.
Half an hour later everyone was done, Iruka had Mizuki go around and collect everyone's tests, when he got to Naruto's test, he looked at it surprised, he got most of the questions right and looked up at Naruto and he saw Naruto with a shit-eating grin.
This severely angered Mizuki, 'This Nine-Tails brat thinks that he is going to get away with this, think again!' Mizuki finished collecting the tests and brought them back to Iruka, he wished he could mess with Naruto test to make him fail but he couldn't do it in plain sight in front of Iruka.
'Guess I'll have to take a different approach today.' thought Mizuki trying to think of a way that he could sabotage the Blond Nine-Tails Brat.
"Alright class now that that is done and over with, we can get on with today's lesson on the geography of Konohagakure and Hi no Kuni, then science and mathematics, reading and writing, history of the third Shinobi War, and to finish off the day we will have Taijutsu." Announced Iruka before getting into the lesson. Naruto put his head down pretending to sleep, 'Well time to start playing dumb.' stated Naruto blandly, internally groaning.
Time skip: 5 hours later
"Alright class that concludes today's lesson, time to head to the training grounds for some spars." Iruka told the class before motioning for them to follow him.
Five minutes later they arrived outside at the training grounds, "Alright, today you will be sparring with Mizuki to see how long you can last, from there we can see who needs more work than others, anyone who can last for more than 2 minutes passes for today." Iruka motioned to the circle that was dug in the ground
"If you step out of bounds you are out" stated Iruka pulling out his clipboard, looking to see who was first on the list
'Time to hit the Nine-Tails brat where it hurts.' thought Mizuki excitedly waiting in anticipation for Naruto's turn.

Final Match: Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto stepped into the ring, 'Well might as well prepare for the worse.' Naruto thought wondering just how hard Mizuki was going to go at him.
"Hijame!", Iruka said, chopping his hand through the air.
Naruto braced himself as he saw Mizuki shot towards him, dodging at the last second before attempting to land a hit in his ribs, which Mizuki blocked. Mizuki threw a punch aiming for Naruto's stomach, Naruto blocked it with his arm, 'SHIT that hurt, I knew he had it out for me but isn't this a bit excessive even for him.'.
This went on for about three minutes and ten seconds before Mizuki got tired of Naruto lasting so long and launched himself at Naruto full speed.
'This is going to hurt.' Naruto cringed internally waiting for the pain, tired from all the hits he had been taking and the few he had given.
Mizuki was upon Naruto in seconds, 'TRY AND BLOCK THIS', reeling his fist back throwing it with all the force that he could muster.
As Mizuki's fist made contact with Naruto's arm there was a large crack and snap heard throughout the training ground, Naruto felt his feet leave the ground, as he flew thru the air.
"AAAAAHHHHH" Naruto screamed as he hit the ground headfirst, clutching his arm. 'Kami this hurts so much.' the pain was so great that Naruto was struggling to stay conscious.
"MIZUKI WHAT THE HELL" Iruka screamed rushing over to Naruto, the class following him
'That will teach you to try and make a fool of me Nine-Tails brat' Mizuki thought victoriously
"Naruto, can you hear me?" Iruka asked worried about the sound that he heard echo when Mizuki hit his arm
"Iruka…...sensei…...it…...hurts…...so…...much" Naruto struggled to say before losing consciousness because of the pain, his head fell to the side.
"Alright class that will be it for today I need to rush Naruto to the hospital, but first" Iruka said before disappearing in a burst of speed, catching Mizuki with a nasty right hook to his temple, instantly knocking him out, tying him up before creating a shadow clone to take him to the T&I department.
Iruka picked Naruto up bridal style and sped off to the hospital
Naruto's Mindscape
Naruto opened his eyes, the last thing he could remember was Mizuki-teme dashing at him before he hit his arm and then all he felt was pain. As he got up, he realized that he was not at the training ground or in Konoha for that matter.
As Naruto got up, he looked around, he was standing in water, the walls were made of brass with pipes running along the top, strange writing all along the walls. Naruto continued down the hall until he came upon a cage, where the cage doors met was a piece of paper that had the kanji for "Seal" on it.
"So, my Jailer has finally come to meet me, that was quite a hit that you took from that asshole. I feel so bad for all that I have caused you little one, you don't deserve any of this and for that, I am truly sorry." said two red glowing eyes in the darkness. 'This must be the Kyūbi that Mito-baa-chan was talking about, it doesn't seem so bad.' thought Naruto.
"Yes, I am the Kyūbi no Yōko, the strongest of all the tailed beasts, bow before my might!" said the Kyūbi.
"So, you're the reason that my life has been shit, well at least you're not an asshole like everyone makes you out to be, you seem pretty nice." stated Naruto, "So before we continue this talk, what do I call you? Is Kyūbi your real name or is that just a title?" asked Naruto
"No, my real name is not Kyūbi that is a title, my real name is Kurama. Make no mistake, normally I do not tell every one of my jailers my name, but I believe you are the child of prophecy that my father spoke of long ago. Tell me little one do you know the history behind chakra?" Kurama asked
"No, I don't know the history behind chakra, what I do remember is that chakra is the combination of physical and spiritual energy and that all living things have chakra aside from that I got nothing." Naruto responded.
"Kurama allow me to explain to this child what my teaching's perversion has become." said a man with purple rippled eyes, pale skin, spikey shoulder-length brown hair, braided lock hanging in front of this left ear, as well as a goatee, horn-like protrusions on either side of his head, wearing a white full-length kimono with six black magatamas around his high collar, and on the back of his kimono was a larger, black rinnegan marking with a pattern of nine magatamas arranged in three rows of three beneath it, on his back he was carrying a black staff with several rings attached to it.
"Tou-san, what are you doing here? I thought you died all those years ago after creating me and my siblings." stated a very much shocked Kurama.
"Yes, I did die Kurama, but I have transcended beyond the boundaries of life and death." stated the pale-skinned man, "As for why I am here, well as you have said yourself you believe this to be the one that I spoke of long ago, my successor, the one that will bring you and your siblings back together, the one that will end this blasted curse that plagues this world. I have come to pass on what power that I can as well as teachings to help this young boy in what is to come, after all, he will need all the help that he can get. Having said that Kurama I want you to work with this boy, the fate of this world depends on it.".
"Of course, I will Tou-san, it's the least that I could do after all that I have caused this poor child." responded Kurama
"While I cannot pass on all my powers to you Naruto, I can give you what I can, although your body won't be able to handle it right now, in the future, you will be able to. Now come here boy so I can be on my way." commanded the pale man
Naruto walked up to the pale man, standing right in front of the man now, "Take a seat little one, while I explain the history of chakra." said the pale man.
Naruto sat down as instructed, waiting for the man to continue.
"Let me start by telling you my name. My name is Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, also known as The Sage of Six Paths, or The First Kami no Shinobi, you probably haven't heard of me as me and my power has become nothing more than a legend now. My mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who became the mother of all chakra after consuming the chakra fruit of the God Tree, gave birth to me and my brother Hamura Ōtsutsuki, the ancestor of the Hyuga clan. Becoming the first people born with chakra, as we grew older, I awakened my Sharingan and my brother the Byakugan and later the Tenseigan, eventually, my mother grew restless being driven mad by her desire to possess all chakra. This caused her to eventually turn on us wanting to reclaim her chakra from us, and to do this she integrated with the God Tree and became the Ten-Tails, later attacking us, seeking out her lost chakra, we fought her and won sealing the beast's chakra into me, with me becoming the First Jinchuuriki and awakening my Rinnegan and using the former body as a core for what you know as the moon. Afterward, my brother Hamura took leadership of the Ōtsutsuki clan and took his family to the moon to guard the Ten-Tails remain, while I stayed on earth and spread chakra to all of humanity and teach them the concept of ninshū, which has become the perversion of what you know as Ninjutsu, I later fathered my two sons, Indra and Asura, the ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju clan respectively, my eldest son inherit a variation of my eyes, the Sharingan, while my youngest son inherited my strong body, chakra as well as another variation of my eyes, the Fuingan, similar to the Sharingan but different in its own aspects, while I don't know what their eyes do your ancestors more than likely do. After training my sons in ninshū, my eldest having a natural talent for it, my youngest having no such talent but finding strength in the value of others, friends, and allies. Eventually, my eldest grew colder and more distant from me and his brother. Eventually, I named my youngest as my successor to ninshū, this angered my eldest who was the natural, and felt that he would make a better successor. I passed on my power to Asura, eventually, my eldest got jealous and decided to attack our home village and fight his brother for the title of successor, claiming it was his birthright. His brother pleaded for him to reconsider, but my eldest was too blinded by jealousy and rage, my youngest awakened the power that I passed onto him and fended off his brother. They fought and I realized what the outcome was going to be and instructed the villagers to help my youngest, awakening his full power and defeated his brother, who fled in anger vowing to destroy my teachings and his brother. On my deathbed, I informed Asura of Indra's intentions to reincarnate to bring an end to my teachings, Asura vowed to reincarnate as well to continue the feud with his brother and one day find peace amongst them. Eventually, some of the Senju split from the main family and became the Uzumaki. I have come here because you are my son's reincarnation and wish to pass what power I can to you once more in hope that you can finally break this curse and save the world." finished Hagoromo
Naruto just sat there with a blank stare, processing all this information, "So what you're telling me old man is that I'm the reincarnation of your youngest son, you came here to give me some of your power so that I can save the world, and you want me to find my brother and reconnect with him so to speak." said recapping what he was just told
"Yes, that about sums it all up, now stand-up boy so I can bestow you with what power I can." commanded Hagoromo
Naruto stood up and Hagoromo placed his hand on Naruto's head. Naruto suddenly felt a massive surge of power, Hagoromo removed his hand from Naruto's head, "Now allow me to show you what I have bestowed on you." Hagoromo said opening both of his hands in his one palm was a red flame, in the other a blue flame. As well as ten black floating balls appeared.
"This is what I call ying-yang release, this gives me the ability to make anything that I can imagine." Hagoromo explained looking at the flames in his hands. "You can now also utilize all 5 basic chakra natures, and possibly sub-elements. These floating balls that you see behind me are truth-seeking balls comprised of all 5 basic chakra natures, they can nullify all chakra, they can also be molded into anything you want them to be, you will be able to fly. I don't have time to teach you how to use all these things so I will leave that knowledge with Kurama so he can teach you when he thinks it's the right time. I want you to find your brother's reincarnation and bring him here, you will need his help in this journey as well." Hagoromo finished as he started to dissipate
"Goodbye for now Kurama" says Hagoromo
"Bye Tou-san."
"Well, this is a lot to digest" said Naruto
"Indeed, but that means we have a lot of work to do. Well, you have people waiting for you so you should be getting back, feel free to come back anytime."
"But how do I come back?" asked Naruto
"Just focus, if need be, I'll bring you back here"
"Alright see ya"
As Naruto faded from his mindscape, he began to think about who could be the other reincarnation that Hagoromo was talking about, 'Well Indra's descendants are the Uchiha, and the only Uchiha that I know of is Sasuke. I wonder if there is a way for me to tell if they are Indra's reincarnation.'.
Hospital
Iruka finally reached the hospital with Naruto in tow, "I NEED A DOCTOR!" shouted Iruka, a Doctor came to Iruka
"What is the problem Iruka-san"
"My student was injured by my teacher's aide while they were sparring, I heard something snap when he hit my student, and after the hit, he was sent flying and hit the ground head first when he landed and passed out soon after." answered Iruka
"Oh my, well we need to get him taken care of ASAP, please follow me Iruka-san." Iruka followed the Doctor to a vacant room.
"Please set him down on the bed" as Iruka laid Naruto down on the bed
The doctor ran his glowing green hand over Naruto's body, trying to find what was wrong with the boy so he could treat him. As he was doing this Naruto began to stir, "What happened, where am I?" groaned Naruto.
"Careful, you don't want to make things worse, just sit back and let me take care of you." responded the doctor
A couple of minutes later the doctor stopped, pulling his hand back. "Well, it seems like a mild concussion, as well as a completely broken forearm. I'll mend the broken forearm, but I can't do anything about the concussion. Just make sure you don't agitate the bone while it fully heals." explained the doctor as he raised his hand to Naruto's broken forearm.
Naruto watched as the hand the doctor brought to his forearm began to glow a vibrant green, the doctor placed his hand on Naruto's forearm, a few seconds later Naruto felt a soothing sensation spread throughout his body. 'This feels so calm and relaxing, I can feel my forearm fusing back together, what was that he was doing with his hand before this? And what is he doing that's causing this sensation?' Naruto thought curiously.
"Excuse me Doctor-san, but what is that green glow around your hand, was that the same thing you did when you were trying to find what was wrong with me?" Naruto asked the doctor
"That green glow around my hand is Medical Ninjutsu or Iryō Ninjutsu, the first one was called Diagnostic Jutsu while the one I just used on you is called the Mystical Palm Technique. The first one allows me to check your body to see what is wrong with you, the second one allows me to heal the affected body part with my chakra." the doctor responded.
'Interesting I might look into that later seems pretty cool.' Naruto told himself
A couple of minutes later the doctor stopped pulling his hand away.
"Alright everything should be Ay okay, just make sure you don't agitate the bone so it can heal as it will still be tender." explained the doctor
"Ok, your arm should be back to normal in about 2 weeks." instructed the doctor, "Before I leave is there anything else that I can help you with?" asked the doctor.
Naruto shook his head no and watched as the doctor left.
"Iruka-sensei, what happened to Mizuki-sensei?" Naruto asked
"I knocked him out and took him to the T&I Department as he shouldn't have been going hard enough to hurt you this badly. He may or may not return, it's up to the Hokage."
"Alright Iruka-sensei I'm going to head out, I need to go shopping for more food as I'm running low at home."
"Alright Naruto, I'll see you tomorrow" said Iruka waving farewell
Time skip: 30 minutes
Market District
Naruto entered the market district and went straight for the store that he usually went to to get his instant ramen. Upon entering the store Naruto looked at the clerk, they gave him a dirty look back, "Hurry up and get what you need and be on your way Nine-Tails brat." the clerk said in disgust. Yep, just a typical shopping trip for Naruto.
Naruto went straight to the Ramen Isle and grabbed 3 flats of Instant Miso Ramen before bringing them to the clerk's counter. The clerk counted out the ramen before adding taxes and multiplying it by 1.5, "Alright your total comes to 7500 Ryo (basically 75 USD).".
Naruto gave the clerk the money, 'Bastard, always overcharging me." Naruto thought to himself
"Now be grateful that I even let you shop here and get out of here before I kick you out!" said the clerk
"Alright I'm going" said Naruto as he rushed out of the store with the ramen, heading straight home to put his groceries away. 'I should head to Mito-baa-chan to get started on my training seeing as I have nothing else to do today.'
1 hour later
Mask Temple
Naruto approached the Mask Temple, "Mito-baa-chan, I'm here to start my training." Naruto called out
"Oh, welcome back Naruto-kun, come in and we will begin." responded Mito
"First, we are going to work on your Calligraphy speed, you're an Uzumaki, you should be able to churn out seals in a matter of seconds, at the most 1 minute for small seals, larger seals, 2-3 minutes max. While you and me work on that, I'm going to teach you that Jutsu that I mentioned my Brother-in-law created the Shadow Clone Jutsu, so that we can multitask with ease. Alright, so what I want you to do is channel as much chakra as you can and put your index and middle fingers in the shape of a cross like this." Mito explained as she Nine-Tailsstrated making 3 clones of herself appear next to her in a puff of smoke.
Naruto did as instructed and suddenly the room was enveloped in smoke, once the smoke cleared there were 750 Naruto's filling the room. Mito looked at Naruto how was slightly winded, 'This will do nicely.' thought Mito.
"How is this Mito-baa-chan, is this enough or do you need more?" asked Naruto
"No that's just fine Naruto, now I want 250 of your clones each to go with each of my clones, one will teach you fuinjutsu, one chakra control, one to test what Uzumaki abilities you have and if so to hone those abilities, while you and me work on your Calligraphy." instructed Mito
"This is going to be a long 3 years." dreaded Naruto as he got to work with Mito.
A/N: And that's a wrap
I need ideas on how to introduce to Naruto that Sasuke is Indra's reincarnation so they can start to make a brotherly bond.
I'm also trying to decide if Naruto will learn senjutsu early on or during his training trip with Jiraiya, as well as how I'm going to get Naruto to learn kenjutsu.
I know that I have given Naruto the abilities that he would have at the end of the series, but not all of it is going to be available right away, Naruto will have to work/train to get them when Kurama deems fit, as for the creation of all things, I read on the wiki that it is not rinnegan exclusive, that all it takes is yin-yang release, I also need to decide when Naruto is going to obtain/unlock Nine-tails chakra mode, debating on whether or not to allow Naruto to use other Nature transformation aside from Mokuton
