*I own nothing I may use*

Ch:2

Naruto was just starting to wake up from his sleep and his back was starting to hurt from sleeping on the ground. He tried to get up but he saw Hinata sleeping soundly on his chest. She was even drooling a little bit. He chuckled at the cute sight in front of him. He was lucky he didn't go into puberty yet or he would be dealing with morning wood. He was annoyed that he would have to deal with puberty once again. That meant getting boners at random times, Getting hard while going to sleep.

He tried to wiggle out of Hinata's grasp but he forgot how strong her grip was. He swore that sometimes she was as strong as granny Tsunade. That made him think about his mother in everything but blood. He knew she was hurting right now and he wanted to help her like he did last time, But right now he had to help himself first. He would live his younger life to his liking unlike last time where he couldn't do that.

To shoulder everything and overcome it.

That was how he lived and it's how he brought peace to the world and he would be damned if he didn't do it again. But, He needed power in order to do those things and it all started from here. He would take this time to have a strong start and hopefully get to a good enough level. In order to do that though he needed to get up and train but someone was stopping him from doing that.

"Hina-chan It's time to get up." Naruto said, rubbing her hair affectionately, making the girl smile in her sleep and snuggle closer to him.

"No, 5 more minutes." She spoke half asleep.

"Hinata-chan it's morning, And we have to get up."

"I don't wanna. Just go back to sleep."

"You leave me no choice Hinata." He got ready to use the final trump card. "Free cinnamon buns outside." He said loud enough for her to hear. She got up immediately and had her byakugan activated and was looking around for them.

"Where!" She went outside to see nothing but animals looking at her like she was crazy. She then turned around and heard the sound of Naruto laughing and understood she was just pranked. She blushed in anger and charged back into the tent with byakugan blazing. "So you think that was funny Naruto-kun." Hinata asked in a sweet tone, putting Naruto on edge because he knew that tone.

"H-hey H-hinata-chan, N-no need to get upset." Naruto put his hands up while laying down.

An aura of doom surrounded Hinata and she jumped on him, making Naruto yelp at her actions. She then put her hands up and got ready to deliver strikes to his gut.

"You leave me with no choice." Hinata said getting ready to attack.

"Well well, looks like the shoes on the other foot this time."

Hinata then began to deliver a barrage of strikes to his gut, making him laugh because she was tickling him and it was always his weak spot. Hinata was laughing along with Naruto. He then gave her a loving smile that made her blush because she was able to see all the love for her in those sky blue eyes she loved so much. The love that she had wanted to see for years, And it was all for her. She then blushed even more when she saw the position they were in. Hinata was on top of him while Naruto had his hands on her hips. She squeaked and then jumped off of him with a mega red blush on her face.

"S-s-sorry N-n-naruto-kun." Hinata looked down and played with her fingers making Naruto only smile at the girl.

"Don't worry Hinata-chan, How about I treat you to some breakfast as a sign of my apology." He gave her a smile that made her smile back.

"Is it cinnamon buns?"

"I don't think that is good for breakfast."

"Neither is ramen."

"Good point."

They then took a quick dip in the lake and put clothes back on so they do not smell like grass and sweat while trying to enjoy their breakfast. Once they have clothes on they walk out to the forest looking and smelling better. Naruto had left a couple of clones behind to continue his training.

When they made it to the village they began to get stares again, More like they all looked at Naruto but he just ignored it and kept walking while Hinata wondered why they all looked at them with such anger. She was a bit scared and held his hand for comfort making Naruto give her a glance and smile that made her feel better. He turned his head so she couldn't see the dark look on his face. He released some KI that made everyone in the area except for Hinata turn and go the other way with panicked faces.

"Ha that got their asses moving, Maybe if you had done this last time you wouldn't have had to deal with all of them." His guardian angel spoke in an amused tone.

"Yea, but then they would only be afraid of me and I can't have that so I won't do that all the time." Naruto responded back to his inner beast. He knew that if he only made them scared of him that would not work and he would end up like Gaara and his village.

They came upon the Bakery shop that Hinata loved so much and she basically dragged him inside the store making the store keeper laugh.

"Welcome back Hinata-sama, Shall I get you the usual?" A kid who looked about 13 spoke from behind the counter. He had red hair that looked like a mix between purple. He had big yellow eyes with a black pupil, Eyes filled with passion for cooking and making people happy.

"Yes Souma, I will take the usual." Hinata said with a smile. Souma then noticed the boy holding Hinata's hand and smirked.

"Oh you brought your boyfriend over." He teased making Hinata go red as a tomato.

"N-n-n-no I-I was j-just bringing him over, H-he said he would buy it for me." Hinata was a mess she had let go of Naruto's hand and began to poke her fingers looking down from embarrassment. Naruto and Souma then laugh it off making her pout cutely.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you." Naruto held his hand out for the boy to shake.

"I'm Souma Yukihira. It's a pleasure." He shook Naruto's hand and they smiled towards each other. "I will go and get your order ready. It won't take long. He then walked off leaving the two by themselves.

"So you too look like close friends, how long have you known each other?" He was curious to know because this place was not here last time.

"Yes we are good friends. I used to come here with my mother and we would always enjoy the food they made. Souma would always work here with his father but he is gone on some trip leaving Souma to run the place with others." Hinata then became a little sad at thinking about her mom who had died not too long ago after giving birth to Hanabi.

Naruto, seeing this walked up and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry for bringing up painful memories for you Hinata-chan." Hinata was blushing a storm at the close proximity of her and Naruto, Ever since yesterday he had been acting strange. She was not complaining though she enjoyed spending this time with Naruto and she even got stronger.

Souma walked back out to see Hinata in the arms of Naruto with a dreamy smile on her face. He saw this and pulled out a camera.

SNAP

A flash of light and Naruto and Hinata turn to see Souma drying off a picture. He showed it to Hinata who blushed and snatched the picture away before anyone could see.

"So he isn't your boyfriend?" The smirking Souma asked teasingly. Hinata only took the food and left the restaurant giving him the stink eye. Making him laugh even more.

"Hinata-chan, what was the picture? Can I see it?" He went to grab it but Hinata moved it away from his hand. He tried to take it again but she kept moving it away from his hand. Hinata then put the picture in her shirt and gave Naruto a smile. He only huffed and turned around making Hinata giggle.

"Come on Naruto-kun let's eat, I am starving." Hinata then pulled some out and began to eat.

"Fine, but next time we are having ramen." They sat on a bench and began to eat in silence just enjoying each other's company and the morning. Until a male anbu drops in front of them.

"Hyuga-sama, Uzumaki-san the hokage wishes to speak with you." He put his hands on their shoulders and body flicker away to the hokage office.

Hokage office

When they appeared from the body flicker the kids are a bit dizzy but Naruto was able to shake it off pretty fast while Hinata stumbled a little bit. This was something the hokage noticed and would keep for later.

"Anbu you may leave." The anbu bowed and left the same way he came in. "So care to tell me where you kids were last night?" He asked them but his tone indicated it more as a demand and not a question. This made Hinata a little scared and she hid behind Naruto who stepped in front of her protectively and he could have sworn he felt a little KI from Naruto but it was gone too soon to know for sure.

Naruto overall didn't really have the old man in high standard anymore once he got older. He knew why he did everything and respected his actions as a hokage but he was still not happy at how the old man handled things. He was also pretty pissed at how he basically told him to fuck off when he would ask about his parents. He was well aware of what would happen if his true heritage was leaked but he did not have to wipe the Uzumaki clan from the library completely, He didn't have to make his birth records top secret, He didn't have to block him from doing a DNA sample. He would claim it was for his protection but he knew it was more for the village and not him.

"We were out in the forest training late last night and decided to just camp out." Naruto didn't see the need to lie to the man so he told the truth and Hinata would only give them away.

The old hokage raised an eyebrow at his answer. "What kind of training Naruto?" He wondered if it was the same thing he would always see him doing.

"It's a secret." The short reply gave away nothing, But Naruto knew the old man would try to spy on him with that crystal ball. So he would have to place a seal on his body that didn't allow him to be spied on with the ball.

"Oh is that so. Can I at least get a hint?" Hiruzen was going to fish out as much as he could from Naruto. For some reason Naruto seemed different and he had this aura around him that made him feel as if he was talking to a strong ninja that has seen many things.

"Just the basics, nothing too special." Naruto was not about to play this game with the old man, He had things to do.

Hiruzen frowned at the boy, This was not going the way he thought they would. Not to mention the clan head of the hyuga was breathing down his back thinking his daughter was kidnapped again. The man had Hyuga searching for Hinata for the better part of the night.

"Well then if you don't want to tell me that's fine, I guess you are at that age." Hiruzen tried to guilt trip Naruto into telling him by playing as an old man who just wants to stay young. Nobody was buying that. "Hinata, Your father would like to know that you are okay so you should go see him." Hinata was about to walk away when she was pulled back.

"I'll walk you home, Hinata-chan." He grabbed her hand and began to walk out the door. "See you hokage." Waving over his shoulder to the old man who slightly waved back. Hiruzen eyed the red swirl on the back of his black shirt. He felt bad for hiding everything from the boy but it was for the good of the village.

Making their way outside the office hand and hand, Hinata was really enjoying all of the attention she was getting from her crush. "Naruto-kun, I don't think we will be able to train with each other again today." She was a little sad at the revelation.

"Don't even worry about it, I figured this would be the case. I have other things to do today. Just make sure you train hard at your clan house." He gave her a smile that made her give her own. "Oh one more thing, Don't let people push you around either, If someone wants problems smack the shit out of them." Naruto spoke to the girl in a serious tone so she could understand.

Hinata gasp at that. She never really enjoyed hurting people but as a ninja she knew it was unavoidable. "Umm I don't think I will be slapping anyone nor using such foul language. I will kindly ask them to stop and if they don't I will consider using your way of doing things." Hinata told him in a tone that meant she would not be talking about the situation anymore.

Naruto only smiled at the Hinata like answer. "Fine princess but I expect you to not be letting those stuck up ass holes push you around. Or I will have to come and beat up your whole clan and do it myself." Naruto also said in a tone similar to that of Hinata making the girl giggle.

They walked along the streets talking to each other and sharing laughs, overall just bonding with each other and getting to know the other better. They had made it to the compound with the same two gate guards from last time, However this time they only bowed and let the two inside, making Naruto smirk. They walked through the compound passing by other Hyuga who eyed Naruto with a suspicious gaze. They had ran into someone Naruto hadn't seen since the 4th shinobi war, Neji Hyuga.

"Hinata-sama, your father would like to speak with you right away." He said her name with clear anger and tried to pull her away with extra force. Hinata slapped his hand away and gave him a slight glare remembering what Naruto had told her.

"Big brother Neji, I can walk their myself, So please do not try that again." She then walked away to her fathers study leaving the two boys to themselves. Naruto chuckled at the shocked face of Neji making him turn to glare at the boy.

"What is a commoner like you doing in the house of the Hyuga." Neji said harshly, not in the mood to play games.

"I'll ignore that comment for now, But if you must know. I was walking Hinata-chan home."

"Well she is here, you can leave now." Neji was about to push him away.

"Now I want to walk around this place. It is really big." Naruto said turning around and walking away leaving Neji to glare at his back and to walk after him.

"You can not be here, You must leave this instant." He walked next to Naruto and tried to grab his shoulder but Naruto side stepped and flicked him in the side of the head. Naruto then ran off, making Neji chase after him. "Get back here!"

They then began to run all around the place causing quite the commotion. Naruto was all in the Hyuga kitchen, He even made himself some ramen and took some time to eat it until Neji busted down the door. "Get out!" Naruto then took his ramen and ran off still eating.

He ran outside and transformed into a plant making Neji and all the other Hyuga run past him and yell useless curses. Naruto however just chuckled and transformed back and picked up his ramen and began to walk off humming a tune.

He walked around until he found himself at a dojo and saw none other than Hanabi Hyuga in their training her little heart out. He silently made his way into the room and just watched her train and eat his ramen.

Hanabi was going through stances for her gentle fist stance, She wanted to be just like her big sister. Who was really good and always made time to spend with her even if she had a long day of training. Right when Hanabi was about to try and perform the 64 palms she stopped when she heard a slurping sound. She looked to the side and saw Naruto eating a bowl of ramen and just watching her.

"How long has he been there?" She got out of her stance and just looked at Naruto who looked back. "What are you doing here?" Hanabi wanted to get this guy out of here so she could get back to training.

Naruto only gazed back at her, He placed his empty bowl down and smiled at her. "The last time I saw her it was without her eyes and she was calling me Nii-chan." Naruto just gave the girl a friendly smile. "I was just walking around and happened to see Hinata-chans younger sister. I just wanted to see you up close."

"You know Onii-sama." Hanabi was surprised that this boy knew her sister.

"Yes, we are great friends." Hanabi was now thinking who this guy was and no longer thinking about her training. "Now why don't you get to training little firecracker." He ruffled her hair making the girl glare and swat his hand away.

"Don't call me a firecracker and don't ruffle my hair." Hanabi glared up the the taller blonde who was only laughing at the girl.

Naruto only pinched her cheeks and pulled them making the girl groan and try to speak. "Don't be taking that tone with me, My little firecracker." He ruffled her hair again. Neji then came through the dojo door with paint all over his face from a trap Naruto had set up.

He glared at Naruto with anger and frustration. "YOU!" Neji charged ready to strike. He extended out his palm ready to strike Naruto in the chest. Naruto gently guide his arm to the ground making Neji fall to the ground and giving Naruto the chance to throw a pink paint bomb at his back.

"I'll see you some other time firecracker." He then ran out the room having to escape the wrath of an angry Neji. Naruto was able to dodge all of the Hyuga and make his way back outside and began to finally do what he needed to have done.

"I need to buy some new equipment and get a custom made mask to cover up my sage mode. I will need to wear long sleeves to cover up all the runes and anything else that may appear with this new form. Speaking of that, I should probably train in it today." He made his way to the ninja shop that always sold the best gear. He made his way to the weapon shop called Golden leaf. He walked in and a bell sounded over the door.

He heard a girl's voice sound from behind the counter. He looked over and saw two brown buns moving under the counter, He smiled at knowing who that was. She popped her head from over the counter and smiled.

"Hello, how may I help you." She stopped when she saw the 8 year old Naruto gazing at her. "Hey kid, we don't sell toys here." She didn't get why people always came in here looking for toys. This was a ninja shop.

"*Sigh*, I just came to buy some tools for my training and I wanted you to put in a custom order but if you can't do that I will go somewhere else." Naruto was about to walk out the door until Tenten called out towards him.

"W-wait, I'm sorry. I will help you out." Naruto stopped walking and turned around and gave her a smile.

"Great and about that custom order can we do that?"

"Yes we can, Just tell me what you want and how you want it." Naruto then put a design of the type of mask he wanted on the counter. Tenten gazed at it with a raised eyebrow. It was a white mask with 2 orange vertical lines running down the two eye holes all the way down to the bottom of its jaw. The jaw was sharp and narrow, There were two rows of white human-like teeth.(The mask Ichigo uses to fight yammy in bleach)

"That's a scary mask you got there. We can have it done in 2 days so be sure to come and get it. Now is there anything else you would need help with?" Naruto walked around to grab what he needed and brought it to the counter. He placed empty sealing scrolls and tags along with kunai and shuriken. Tenten rang all that up and placed them in bags.

"Okay Naruto, I will have your special mask ready, So come back soon." Naruto smiled at the girl and walked to the door but paused and looked back at the girl.

"I never received your name, Would you tell me please?" Tenten rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.

"Sorry my name is Tenten. Nice to meet you."

"Ok Tenten, I will see you around." He left the store to go drop his things off and change clothes so he could train.

Training ground

Naruto was doing some stretches ready to begin his training. He was wearing a black zipped up high collar with an orange zipper, Loose orange pants with black ninja sandals.(The Last outfit)

He began to run five hundred laps around the training ground and then did 500 push ups, sit ups, squats, and pull ups. He practiced in his new fighting style by placing a water bottle on top of a wood post he made, He tried to kick the water bottle off the post without touching the post or making the post move at all. He was finding it extremely difficult because he would end up missing if he kicked too slow or hit the post if he kicked too fast and still miss the bottle.

After one hour and 30 minutes he was finally able to kick the bottle without any problems. Naruto then decided to make a shadow clone and enhance it with Kurama's chakra and begin to spar with it. He was able to fight with it for a little while but it took all his years of fighting just in order to keep up with the clone, but experience wasn't enough to defeat his clone that was stronger then he was. Kurama wanted him to let the clone use one tail but Naruto knew if the clone had used even one tail he wouldn't stand a chance.

He also practiced more on his chakra control while also expanding his own reserves. He began to fight on top of the water in a shadow clone free for all which made him have a little fun. He came out on top but if he didn't that would be embarrassing. He practiced in perfecting his wind element and found out he had a strong fire element. His flames became white and were an intense flame. Naruto had no idea where the flame element came from but he was not complaining and would make the most out of what he had.

Once he found out about his new element he began to practice with his fire manipulation and tried to burn a leaf with just his chakra. He didn't know too many fire jutsu so he would have to go back to the library if he wanted to learn more or just wait for Kakashi to train him in more but he knew Kakashi was a sasuke fanboy and wouldn't really teach him anything. That brought up another thing he had to do. Sasuke.

He could tell him the truth while he was young, Or just make him think for himself and come to his own conclusion. Naruto knew that Sasuke was in a delicate position right now, So He decided he would just reach out to him this time and not just watch his back. Although he would have to deal with his attitude again but decided he would beat it out of him, But first he needed to be strong enough to show Sasuke he could help him with gaining power. He would also help Sakura but that would not be as easy.

He got all of those thoughts off with some more training and sparring. He made another clone again and enhanced it once again and this time he went all out. He released the seals he placed on his body and also used his limited knowledge of jutsu he was able to perform safely.

The training ground was filled with the sound of explosions and shockwaves. They fought on the water, trees, air, and on the ground. He spilled blood everywhere in that field. He was having fun while also growing strong, That was when an idea came into his head. Rock Lee.

He would go find Lee and train with him. Naruto knew first hand how good Lee was. His fight in the chunin exams was one of his favorite fights to have seen. But he needed to practice in using Kurama's chakra first so he could be able to match the gates he knew Lee would use. Plus Kurama was nagging him about it as well. Naruto also had a clone working on Realmheart and the clone was able to walk around and do a little sparring before dispelling leaving him with the knowledge.

We can find Naruto with his shirt off in a half lotus position in deep concentration. He was trying to gain access to Realmheart. A few seconds later and there it was, He had transformed. Standing up he did a couple practice moves and noticed that he had a significant buff. His speed and power had been enhanced tremendously. "It feels good, I can feel the increase." He performed the rasengan and unlike last time he was able to use his wind chakra and create the Rasenshuriken. He was even able to throw it which made him and Kurama go wide eyed at the ease all of that was able to be done.

"Holy shit, I-It worked." Where Naruto had threw the attack the whole section of the forest was blown up and only left a massive crater in the center.

"Well I'll be damned, You did it." Kurama was also greatly surprised by the transformation. He wondered if Naruto was the only one who could learn this kind of sage mode or did it have something to do with his DNA or was he impacting the transformation in some way.

Naruto had created a seamless shadow clone and made it use some of Kurama's chakra. He wanted to test the difference at full power. The clone's eyes turned red and slitted along with its nails that had grown sharper. The whisker marks had grown thicker.

Once he was finished they charged at each other with tremendous speed and clashed in the middle causing a massive shockwave that caused wind to pick up. Naruto spun around on his feet and delivered a kick to the back of the clone head. He back flipped to gain some distance. Naruto then coated his hand in lightning making him go wide eyed. "Can I use all of the elements?" He quickly formed the chidori making him smirk at finally being able to use this. He charged the clone and hit it right in the shoulder making him laugh at the turn of events. The clone puffed in smoke leaving him to think to himself.

"If I can use all the elements when in this form then the options are limitless." Naruto grabbed his last chakra paper and began to channel chakra. The paper split into a bunch of little pieces that all turned to water. Some pieces caught fire while the others crumbled to dust.

"Holy."

"Shit."

The grin that spread on both Naruto and Kurama's faces would cause anyone who saw it to shake in fear. They then began to laugh like mad men who had just discovered something new which they did. The form then ran out making Naruto fall to one knee instead of both knees this time showing the progress.

"Okay still have some work to do, but it ain't nothing I can't handle." He then took all his clothes off and got in the warm water to soak off. He decided once he got out he would go find Lee and fight him and as he would say. 'Bathe in the flames of youth'. He got out and put his clothes back on and left his clones in the field while he left. He was glad he put up a barrier or he would have been in a real problem. He placed the resistance seals back on his body and left the training ground.

Naruto was jogging around the village looking for Lee and his adoptive father. Naruto had an ear to the streets trying to see if he could hear them or the complaints everyone had about them. He then saw two green blurs and could see none other than Lee and Guy. They were doing their laps around the village it seemed. Naruto ran up next to them and smiled towards the two.

"Hello guys, care if I join you?"

The two were shocked that someone wanted to run with them, They were always getting turned down. Lee and Guy looked towards each other and began to smile.

"Of course you can my youthful friend! Let us bathe in youth together!" They then ran around the village 300 times and Naruto was surprised that the two were not even tired, It was as if they could keep going. They had made it to a training field and Naruto wanted to get right to it.

"Lee, would you spar with me?"

Lee got stars in his eyes. "Of course, it would be my pleasure to spar with you!" They then walked into the middle of the field and Guy would be the ref for this youthful match. They both got into their stances and Guy did a double take at the stance he saw Naruto enter. He was a bit nervous because he knew of that stance and what it was capable of. Guy had heard of the rumors for the stance and he knew the power of it. That was the strongest martial art style know to man and if Naruto had managed to master it. Have mercy on his enemies.

"Are you ready?" Guy held his hand up. "GO!" He drew his hand down and the two charged each other leaving clouds of dust where they once stood.
