Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; it is the property of Masashi Kishimoto. If I did own it, it would be a little like this story. Also, the OC characters that will be introduced later in the series belong to me.

Anyways, that's enough talk from me, and on to the story! See you on the other side!

Arc One: Ninja 101

Chapter One – The First Day

Part One – The Assessment of Skill

It was time. Today was the day that Naruto will attend the Ninja School. He was nervous, since he doesn't know what to expect from how this is going to turn out for him. Of course, Naruto has been training for the last two months with his parents. He was learning how to mostly control his three different types of energy that he has: Chakra, Yoki and Mana. His parents also taught him techniques and jutsu that uses each type of energy. Although they didn't teach him much, they were the basics for a kit just starting out. Plus, he's not old enough to actually go into a full training regimen, that will be reserved until Naruto's body develops a little more. Wellbeing comes first!

At the moment, Inari was packing his small bag filled with the basic tools: A notebook, writing utensils such as pencils, rulers etc., a bottle of water just in case Naruto gets thirsty, a couple other books related to subjects that he's possibly going to cover in class and of course his shuriken and kunai holsters were lying on the side of the couch filled with kunai, shuriken and a few senbon needles just in case they were going to cover them. Naruto today was wearing a black battle kimono with matching pants with intricate flower designs on it, has a white belt wrapped around his waist. It has the kanji for kitsune in white at the right corner of the kimono and a dragon made of gold imprinted at the back.

Once Naruto and Inari were ready to head out and making sure they didn't forget anything, they headed out to where the school is - across the bridge, near the Nature Temple, slightly more isolated away from the village. This is to make sure that the kits all have enough space to play in the wooded playground when on their break period, as well as enough space for all the facilities it is going to have for some of the topics some classes will cover depending on the level the kits are at. There are three different rankings in the school that you get after assessments are completed: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.

Naruto and Inari saw that they were approaching the Ninja School, guarded by a few Magi Guards who are at the front waiting for the leader of the village to show up. There were many children who were awaiting the opening of the school: some chatting with each other, some are slightly nervous and the others are jumping and running around playing games of tag together because they can't contain their excitement. The parents were keeping an eye on their kits, making sure they don't cause any trouble.

"How are you feeling Naru-kun?" Inari asked, breaking away from the comfortable silence as they made their way to the front row, where they will get the best view of the opening ceremony.

Naruto just grabbed his mother's hand, and she could feel how shaky he is. Another sign is that his tail stopped moving completely and is moving ever so slightly to where only a trained eye could see its slight twitching. That was enough of an answer for Inari, who then kneeled down slowly to her sons level, where she met his amethyst-coloured slitted eyes. Her motherly smile was enough to calm him down, and Inari kissed the top of his forehead and hugged him tightly. Naruto visibly relaxed in the safety of his mother's arms and hugged her back.

"Is it going to be your first time being without us Naruto?" Inari asked gently and Naruto nodded in return.

"It's going to be alright my little Naruto, remember, that the staff here will also keep you safe and happy, just think of them like they're part of your family too, also, make sure you always be polite amongst your peers and especially your teachers, make sure to stay out of trouble and most importantly, have fun!" Inari set out the basic school rules for Naruto and he nodded slightly in return.

"Oh! Don't forget to make friends and do well in your classes alright?" Inari said as she poked him on the nose playfully, making Naruto pout as he nodded.

"Don't worry mom, I'll make sure to make you and daddy proud!" Naruto said with new determination as his confidence returned slowly, although he was still pretty nervous, this time however handling it much better from the support and the encouragement of his mother.

"There's the Naruto I know!" Inari grinned.

As if on cue, Kurama, the leader of the Hidden Nature village appeared in a flashy fox fire shunshin, to which all of the children stopped what they were doing and were in awe and have stars in their eyes. Naruto never gets tired of this and wants to learn it so bad but is forbidden for him to learn until he gets older, since Naruto's body isn't able to handle that speed so, he just scowled playfully at his dad because he can't learn the cool technique while Inari just sighed in exasperation.

'Of course he would' Inari thought while having a clear deadpanned expression on her face.

Kurama looked at the audience, impressed by the sheer number of kits that would be attending this first year and nodded to himself in approval. He coughed into his fist, amplifying his voice with his chakra so all could hear him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! I am here to happily announce the grand opening of the Ninja School! I would like to say that it is a pleasure to be here on this wonderful day, because from this point on, you are going to be learning on how to live and survive on your own and many other skills a possible ninja needs. If you are planning to move on from the Kitsune village once you graduate into one of the greater nations, then I wish you luck! But that is if you graduate! Once you walk through these doors, you will be faced with many challenges and trials throughout this entire year, with the reward being a certificate of approval and a choice to which one of the great ninja villages you would like to move to" Kurama paused and looked at all the parents with their kits with a proud smile on his face on how far this village has come, especially proud when he saw Inari and little Naruto at the front. Kurama took a deep breath and shouted out the following words that would change this village forever.

"I, THE GREAT SAGE, KURAMA… ANNOUNCE THAT THE NINJA SCHOOL, IS NOW, OFFICIALLY, OPEN!" He finished and cut the ribbon line with his claws.

The crowd then erupted into cheers and the children were jumping up and down screaming in excitement as different coloured flower petals started raining from the sky, courtesy of one of the Magi members hidden in the shadows. Kurama walked up to Inari and Naruto as all the other kids filed through the doors into the school.

"Dad, you're as awesome as ever!" Naruto complimented.

"Thank you son" Kurama said with a fatherly smile on his face.

Inari and Kurama nodded at each other and turned their attention fully to Naruto.

"Go for it kit!" Inari encouraged.

"And show them what you are capable of!" Kurama continued, making Naruto grin and show a pure determined look in his eyes.

"Don't worry Mom, Dad! I'll graduate with the top scores in the school!" Naruto shouted out.

"Watch me!" He finished and ran into the school excitedly.

"That's our kit!" Inari and Kurama shouted at the same time and smiled proudly at their son.

"He'll do well, I know he will" Kurama said.

"Yeah, let us believe in him with all our hearts and support him throughout this entire year" Inari said as she walked back home, while kurama nodded and used teleport to go back to the Nature Temple and continue his work as the Great Sage.

-Inside the School, with Naruto-

"Alright, classroom 105A, 105A…" Naruto whispered to himself as he looked at his document with his assigned home room classroom. He was searching for his classroom on the first floor, and noticed when he looked up, something he felt was off about this. He noticed on the sign that his classroom number was wavering slightly, barely noticeable, and sighed in exasperation as he put his hands together in the tiger hand sign and shouted out the words "Kai!" and the genjutsu on the sign disappeared revealing that it was the room 205B instead of the room he was supposed to go to.

"Genjutsu? Really?" Naruto deadpanned.

"As expected from the son of Kurama-sama and Inari-sama" A voice came out of nowhere, sounding like a man in his late 30s.

Naruto heard that the voice was coming from behind him and turned around with a kunai in hand, ready to strike the man down. However, he slightly relaxed when he felt no ill will from the man, though Naruto was still on alert just in case things went south. The man himself was well built, was wearing a yellow haori that has two orange dots on each with matching yellow pants, traditional sandals, and a golden bandanna with the kanji for dragon (竜) on it. He had sunset long, orange hair with magenta fox ears at the top, 7 magenta tails swinging casually behind him and orange slitted eyes. In other words, this man was quite bizarre.

"You may relax kid, I'm not going to hurt you" The man reassured, and Naruto eased his stance.

"Are you my home room teacher?" Naruto asked.

"Getting straight to the point I see… alright, yes, I am your home room teacher, come" He motioned for Naruto to follow him and he obliged with a quick "Yes sir!".

"No need for formalities kid" The man waved him off and Naruto nodded.

"Was that my first trial in this school?" Naruto asked his teacher curiously.

"Sharp mind kit, yes, that was. It was to see if you could break at least a low level genjutsu if placed on you, and you broke it with no sweat" The teacher commented and Naruto just scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"Hey Mr? What is your name?" Naruto asked.

"We'll get to introductions when we reach the classroom" The man said and Naruto nodded.

-Class 105A-

"Alright! Stop your yapping kits and let us get right to introductions!" The man shouted as he and Naruto walked through the door and all the children stopped what they were doing.

[Go and find yourself a seat kid] The man telepathically said gently and Naruto obliged, finding a seat on the third row of the classroom. The class itself was simple; There were a set of twelve desks and chairs on the left and right that slightly ascended, and at the front was a blank blackboard attached to the wall, with a piece of white chalk and a chalkboard eraser laying there on the little rack that's built into the blackboard, ready to be used. There was also the teacher's desk in the middle, slightly off to the right with a few pieces of paper stacked on top and a few books and scrolls.

Naruto put his bag down on the chair beside him since it was empty, which he sighed in relief at and started to prepare for the class. Once he was sure everything was laid out neatly on his side of the desk, Naruto turned his attention to his homeroom teacher.

"My name is Bruno, and I am going to be your sensei for this entire year" He introduced himself.

"This is my faithful assistant Kinzoku; he'll help you with anything you're struggling on" Bruno pointed to the side with his thumb where Kinzoku was just chillin' by the window on his chair.

"Hey there kids" He waved casually and turned his head back to look out of the window. Everyone sweat-dropped at his antics.

"Anyways, now that I introduced myself and my assistant, I want you to introduce yourselves. Starting from the bottom row" Bruno explained.

Once everyone settled down, the kid at the front row on the left stood up. "My name is…"

Naruto decided to tune out the first two rows and practice a chakra control exercise that his mother taught him; it is to balance the tip of a pencil on his index finger using only chakra. It was tough at first, but he managed to get it right after a couple of tries and that is when it was his turn to introduce himself. Naruto took a deep breath and stood up, all the while ignoring the lovestruck looks that the girls were giving him.

"My name is Naruto Okami Kitsune, and I hope that we can all get along and be friends" Naruto said as he bowed and sat back down, still ignoring the starry eyed looks the vixens were giving him. It made him very uncomfortable.

As such, the introductions continued, and when they were finished, the teacher spoke up.

"Alright, hands up if you had any ninja training before the opening of the ninja school?" Bruno asked, and many kits, as well as Naruto included, raised their hands. Only a few didn't raise theirs.

Bruno nodded to himself in approval and looked to Kinzoku who nodded in return. "Those of you who had ninja training will participate in an assessment to see where your skills are at, and that will determine where you will be ranked; either beginner, intermediate or advanced" Bruno explained and all the kids nodded in understanding.

"Good, follow me to the training yard, those with ninja training will participate and the ones who don't will just stand back and watch" Bruno said as he and his assistant walked out of the door, and the kits followed.

-Training Yard-

Everyone was standing at attention. Naruto was at the front row, he didn't like to gain attention towards himself, but he wanted to make his mother and father proud. Bruno nodded at the loyalty that these future ninja are showing. He glanced at Kinzoku who was motioning the ones without training off to the side a safe distance, so they don't get in the way.

"Alright, so now that the beginners are out of the way, let me get you in the gist of what this assessment has to offer" Bruno started off as he saw Kinzoku make his way back to the main group.

"You will be tested at the end of a term on these essential ninja skills; Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Shurikenjutsu" Bruno continued and everyone gave big grins at all the exciting tests. Naruto just gave a happy smile, since he already knew and was briefed on it slightly earlier before school by his father.

"However, there will be a written test at the beginning before the exciting stuff, but today we'll only be testing you on the exciting stuff" Kinzoku cut in and everyone groaned, while Naruto just shook his head from side to side and sighed, knowledge was an important aspect of being a ninja.

"Suck it up! If you want to be a ninja, you have to know all the little details through the aspect of research. For example, do you know the famous saying of a ninja known as Kakashi Hatake of the Leaf?" Bruno asked and only three rose their hands, one of them being Naruto.

"Go ahead Naruto, tell us" Bruno said.

"A shinobi must always look underneath the underneath" Naruto answered.

"That's right, what that means is that nothing is always as it seems. It may look like you're doing a C-Ranked mission, but what if it turns out to be an A-Rank instead because the client lied about their mission and rogue ninja are hunting the same client you are trying to protect?" Bruno explained, although more like a statement then a question and everyone 'Oh'd' at this new information, except for a couple of people who already knew and one of the people includes Naruto.

"Alright, enough chitter-chatter! Let us move on to the assessment!" Bruno shouted and everyone stood at attention.

"First up, we are going to do Shurikenjutsu" Kinzoku announced.

"Let us move to the target practise range" Kinzoku said and everyone obliged.

-The Practise Range-

"Alright kits, as you can see, there are 10 dummies and you will have to throw all Kunai and Shuriken either in the bullseye or the vital spots on the body which are marked in red" Kinzoku explained and all the students nodded.

"Alright, first up, Miguel Kichi" Kinzoku said and the five-year-old stepped up to the line.

Once the kid threw all the kunai and shuriken at the dummies, he got scored a 6/10 for the kunai and a 5/10 for the shuriken.

"Not bad Miguel, but I suggest that you improve your concentration, getting distracted in a combat situation could get you killed" Kinzoku evaluated.

"Hai Kinzoku-sensei!" Miguel responded and went back to where he stood before.

The students went one by one, and either some were above average or slightly below the average. However, there is this one kid which slightly intrigued Naruto. He had brown hair and brown ears as well as tail, orange slitted eyes and was wearing just a regular white t-shirt with a red dragon imprinted on his back with white matching pants. He was wearing black shinobi sandals as well. The kid smirked as his name was called.

"Kinua Kaizo" Kinzoku announced as Kinua stepped up to the line.

"Watch me! Kinua Kaizo! The next Great Sage will show all of you what a real ninja can do!" Kinua declared as he threw his kunai at the targets, which shocked everyone apart from Naruto, who had his eyes slightly narrowed, since almost all kunai hit the targets except three of them, which slightly made Kinua annoyed, but nevertheless shrugged it off. Next, he threw his shuriken, which further shocked the others and only Naruto just shrugged. He didn't really care who hit the most targets, all that matters is the accuracy and precision. Almost all of the shuriken hit their marks except one, which made Kinua almost snap, but held it in as best as he could.

"Impressive Kinua, you almost hit your targets dead on, although the only thing you need to keep in check is your pride" Kinzoku evaluated and Kinua just scoffed at that analysis. Scoring 7/10 on the kunai and 9/10 on the shuriken.

"Beat that losers" Kinua smirked and walked back to where he was standing.

'That kid is going to be trouble' Bruno thought to himself.

"Alright, and finally, Naruto Okami Kitsune" Kinzoku announced and as Naruto stepped up to the line, his fangirls started squealing.

"Go Naruto-kun!" One of them shouted.

"You can do it Naruto-kun!" Another cheered.

The others continued their cheering for him and made Naruto scowl, his ears on his head drooped to protect him from their screeching. "Be quiet!" Bruno ordered through an intense shout and the fangirls stopped their cheering instantly. "If you want to be real kunoichi then you need to act like one!" Bruno explained.

[Thanks Bruno-sensei] Naruto thanked mentally as he readied to throw his kunai.

[No problem kid] Bruno responded mentally.

"When you're ready, Naruto" Kinzoku said and Naruto nodded as his ears went back up.

Naruto threw his kunai with grace and agility, hitting their marks in the dummies, and scored a solid 10/10. The next were the shuriken, done in the same manner, though he missed one because it lost its momentum making it a 9/10. Kinua just scowled at Naruto, how dare he beat the alpha of this class! When Naruto senses Kinua's emotions, he decided to stay a bit further away from him. He is not interested in having a rivalry with someone at the moment. He only wants to be friends with people.

"Not surprised, I'm very impressed Naruto, though you do need to add more momentum to your shuriken throws" Kinzoku explained and Naruto nodded in understanding and went to stand somewhere a little further away from Kinua.

"Alright, now that the Shurikenjutsu assessment is done, we will now move on to the Ninjutsu test" Kinzoku announced and everyone grinned especially Naruto, since he'll finally be able to show off his mana and yoki techniques! Chakra too…

"Alright kits, follow me to the clearing that's just beyond this small forest, that's where we'll do our Ninjutsu Assessment" Kinzoku motioned for everyone to follow and everyone instantly obliged, they really want to show off their Jutsu! Bruno led the ones with no training to the spectator's zone in the clearing.

-The Clearing-

Everyone were now standing at attention in the field, with Kinzoku and Bruno at the front and the spectators off to the side. "Alright kits! This is the Ninjutsu Assessment! I want you to show off the academy three and two techniques of your choice with Yoki, as well as two techniques with mana if you have that energy" Bruno explained.

"Kinua Kaizo, please step through the chakra barrier" Kinzoku announce and Kinua was smirking like a maniac. Naruto might've one upped him on Shurikenjutsu, but he won't be beating Kaizo this time!

"When you're ready Kinua" Kinzoku said as Kinua started making hand signs.

Dog → Boar → Tiger "Henge no Jutsu!" Kinua shouted and transformed into a perfect replica of Kinzoku.

Kinzoku nodded and wrote something on his clipboard. "Next Jutsu" Kinzoku said and Kinua nodded as he started doing the next set of hand signs.

Ram → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake "Kawarimi no Jutsu!" He shouted as he replaced himself with a log as a kunai came at him out of nowhere. Kinzoku wrote something down on his clipboard again. "Now the Bunshin" Kinzoku said and Kinua nodded as he did the hand signs for the last jutsu.

Ram → Snake → Tiger "Bunshin no Jutsu!" Kinua shouted and a perfect clone of himself appeared next to him. Kinzoku nodded to himself yet again as he wrote down something on his clipboard.

"Alright, any techniques you want to show off with your yoki?" Kinzoku asked.

"Of course!" Kinua shouted with excitement as he started going through a set of hand signs.

Ram → Tiger → Demon Dragon "Kitsune Style: Kitsune Bi!" Kinua shouted as he inhaled air into his lungs, and an intense blue flame came out of his mouth. He wasn't done however, as he did more hand signs while the flames were still hanging in the air.

Demon Rat → Demon Boar → Demon Snake "Kitsune style: Mirror world!" Kinua shouted as the whole plain turned into a complete maze of mirrors.

'Pretty fancy Genjutsu' Kinzoku thought and wrote something down on the clipboard as he nodded to himself.

"Alright, you may go back now" Kinzoku said and Kinua nodded as he went back to the spot he was at before while smirking and looking in Naruto's direction.

"Beat that, loser" Kinua whispered to Naruto and went to back to his spot.

Naruto looked calm and indifferent, thinking that Kinua was just acting like a stuck-up prick trying to one up everybody. He won't let him get his way, however.

"Naruto Kitsune, please make your way into the chakra barrier" Kinzoku said and Naruto did what he was told, all while ignoring the heart-eyed looks his fangirls were giving him and the grin Kinua was showing.

"Please show us the academy three jutsu with your chakra and any techniques with yoki, however, since you also have mana, I would like to see two techniques with that as well" Kinzoku stated and Naruto nodded.

Naruto performed a perfect kawarimi and henge, with his henge being his father. With the Bunshin, two perfect clones appeared beside him. Kinzoku nodded to himself and wrote down the scores for the academy three on the clipboard in his hands.

"Alright, now show us two yoki techniques" Kinzoku said and Naruto nodded and started doing some hand signs.

Boar → Demon Dragon → Boar "Kitsune Style: Burning Ash!" Naruto shouted as he took in a deep breath of oxygen, and released volcano ash from his mouth, which covered a wide area of the clearing that's inside the chakra barrier.

"I can also ignite it with my fox fire or a fire style jutsu, which will cause an explosion, though I'm not going to, because I'm afraid it will, you know…" Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"It's good that you are showing your restraint and I've got to say, that would be a very effective and advantageous jutsu if you could pull it off, possibly even fatal" Kinzoku analysed.

"Thank you Kinzoku-sensei, although do you mind if I show you the tailed beast bomb? Because my father only started teaching me it recently on the basics and it is a yoki and chakra combination technique" Naruto asked and explained.

"Sure Naruto, as long as it's not too destructive" Kinzoku said with a slight nod of his head. All of the students were curious about the Bijudama.

"Thank you Kinzoku-sensei" Naruto bowed and then faced the front, his eyes trained on a giant rock a little ways away.

Naruto brought his right hand out and held it with his left and started concentrating. His single golden tail started to glow, meaning that his yoki and chakra is being drained. A tiny dark purple orb started appearing on his right hand. As Naruto finished gathering yoki and chakra, the small orb was spinning in his hand rapidly. He was sweating quite a bit, though he did barely manage it. That's when he released the orb with a shout of "Bijudama!" and threw it at the giant rock. Once it hit, the tailed beast bomb exploded, and many cracks as well as a hole in the rock could be seen.

"Not bad for a first try on the Bijudama, though it does require a lot of chakra and yoki control as well as concentration, but well done nonetheless" Kinzoku praised and analysed while he wrote the scores down on the clipboard. Of course, the fangirls had stars in their eyes at the sight of Naruto pulling off a very difficult technique.

"Now, please show us two techniques you know with mana" Kinzoku said and Naruto grinned and obliged as he started doing some gestures with his hands while talking in an unknown language.

Et → Un → Cha → Un "Magic Missiles!" Naruto shouted and one single flashy firework missile materialised out of his being and homed in on a nearby training dummy that was in the field which exploded it instantly.

"That was pretty interesting, it could possibly be used as a distraction tactic" Kinzoku said as he put his fingers to his chin in thought.

"Well, it's not as strong yet since I've only started training in mana, but mother said I eventually could fire up to three if I keep training this technique" Naruto explained and Kinzoku nodded.

Naruto started doing the last set of hand gestures and saying the last few words of the unknown language to cast the final mana technique.

Un → Zo → Et → Cha "Vampirism!" Naruto shouted and was surrounded by purple sparks of energy.

"This technique is actually useful in combat, because when I do damage to someone, my injuries heal instantly and my stamina is replenished" Naruto explained and Kinzoku nodded in approval while he wrote down the scores on the clipboard.

"Alright, you may go back now Naruto" Kinzoku said and Naruto obliged. Kinua was staring intensely at Naruto from his spot, seething on the inside. How can this loser one up him every god damn time?!

The rest of the Ninjutsu test was pretty inadequate for Naruto. Some might say he's being a little harsh, but it is true. Most were using the basic yoki techniques, only a few students were decent enough and slightly interested him - which were the family kids (similar to the clans in Konoha). They used some interesting family techniques with yoki. Naruto will make sure to ask his parents about them, especially about the kid Kinua Kaizo. The last name sounds familiar but he doesn't remember where he heard it before.

Finally, it was time for the Genjutsu and Taijutsu tests.

"Alright kits! It is now time to go over to the sparring ring in the middle of the training yard, because that's where we'll be doing the Taijutsu assessment!" Bruno shouted and everyone was excited.

"But first… we must test your skills in Genjutsu!" Bruno grinned as everyone groaned soon after, except for Naruto and Kinua.

"Alright, chill out! Once your names have been called out by either me or my pal Kinzoku, we will cast a D-rank genjutsu on you, which you'll have to break out of by flaring your chakra. Understand?" Bruno questioned and everyone nodded.

"Good… now, first up, Seiko Kuno!" Bruno called out and the kunoichi in training stood up and walked to stand in front of him.

"Renji Aka!" Kinzoku called out and the ninja in training stood up and walked over to stand in front of him.

Just like that, the Genjutsu test went by quickly, with Naruto and Kinua being the fastest to break out of the sensei's Genjutsu. The students also had to cast one themselves, although Naruto had a slight problem, he had quite a bit of chakra and yoki, thanks to his father's almost infinite reserves, so he couldn't really cast Genjutsu of the lowest level that require a small amount of these energy sources, so he had to resort to using much higher tiers. At least Naruto had decent chakra control and will be working on that once he gets out of school in order to cast more Genjutsu.

"Alright kits! Now follow me to the sparring ring!" Bruno grinned and motioned for everyone to follow and the students obliged.

-Middle of Training Ground, Sparring Ring-

"So! How this is going to work, is that we are going to have a boys vs boys and a girls vs girls tournament but remember! Later, you will have to get used to fighting the opposite gender because if you hesitate to hurt a female who is the enemy, you will either be captured or killed, simple as that" Bruno explained.

"The life of a ninja is not fair, and a ninja doesn't play by the rules unlike a samurai" Bruno finished and everyone nodded in understanding.

"Alright then, if you are all ready, let this Taijutsu assessment get underway" Kinzoku said and the ninja in training had determined looks on their faces.

End of Chapter

Oh! Cliff-hanger alert! I'm so evil, aren't I? The next chapter is going to focus on Naruto confronting the kid known as Kinua Kaizo, part of the Kaizo family. I decided to kind of base the aspect of clans in Konoha into The Village Hidden In Nature, and call them 'Families', I know, sounds very basic, I understand, but I want to bring more life to the story. You'll find out next chapter why Kinua is acting so stuck up and being hateful towards Naruto.

New Jutsu/Attacks used:

Kitsune Style: Kitsune Bi – A fire style jutsu commonly used by Kitsune, which uses yoki to fire out blue mesmerising flames that can be used as a basis for effective Genjutsu and Illusions, also could be used as a normal Ninjutsu attack.

Kitsune Style: Mirror World – A Genjutsu that traps the victim inside a maze of see-through mirrors, inescapable unless the user either finds the exit to the maze, or their teammate forcing their chakra in them to dispel it. High ranking and prepared shinobi can break out easily.

Kitsune style: Burning Ash – A wide area of effect jutsu that covers the area in volcanic ash, perfect for use in traps and ambushes on an unprepared chunin or jonin if used correctly. Can also be used as an explosive if ignited by a fire style jutsu.

Magic Missiles – Barrage your foes with missiles of magic, although it is a basic technique/spell that does minimal damage, it's slow moving and can easily be avoided or countered. Effective only for distracting your enemies.

Vampirism – A technique/spell that can heal your injuries and stamina by doing damage to an opponent for a brief period of time. Can be used on fellow allies to aid them in combat.

Now, onto the reviews!

Review Corner:

NaruCrazy: Thank you for your constructive criticism, I've never really written anything three-dimensional before, but of course I'm only a new writer! And yes, that is very true on what you said about the spy, kitsune and the humans. I will cover all of that in possibly later chapters!

777torn777: Thanks for the idea! I'll consider it! And yes, Minato is the 4th Hokage just like in canon. He's married to Kushina as well. All canon stuff.

Fictionlover87: Thank you for the encouraging words! I agree with you, people seem to stick to the basic trend of NaruHina, and of course, there are beautiful girls in Naruto!

Bugdoodle118: The poll will last a week or more :)

Darth Kyuubi kurama: The poll will last possibly around a week or more, and no, I won't tell ya which option is in the lead for the suspense :)
