I'm Alive!
My sister found me. She wasn't happy. I do have a very sore and dead arm though. (Mind you I'd been teasing her about this idea since about chapter 4. And the actual chapter as I was writing it, she cried every time, that's a month's worth of teasing).
Cat is still developing in my head; he's quite literally a cat mask with a black anbu cloak with his hood up. He's the catalyst for Naruto to change.
Sorry if you cried and thank you for telling me so. I cried at least three times while writing that chapter if it helps and I was so worried I hadn't done it right.
Also how did you know I was going to do that in the last chapter.
Kurokazeryuu - I thought that was obvious but that plays to my advantage if you don't know.
RoXaS707 - 1. Awesome name. 2. She found me.
Moonlightshymist - it's not sad this time. Please tell me you finished the last chapter though.
Tristan76 – I'm sorry, thank you. I know the names not going to look it up though. Sasuke I'm still figuring out.
If I missed your review I'm sorry.
Naruto's eight this chapter. I think lol.
Thank you for the alerts and reviews.

Chapter 9
"Shh don't cry little Ko its okay mum will be back soon.
"Story" Konohamaru whimpered
"Okay okay. This one's called the bees and the wasp. Some bees once built a fine honeycomb in a hollow tree-trunk. Now there are two kinds of bees in a hive: worker bees, who spend their lives gathering pollen and making honey, and drones, who lie lazily in the hive all day doing nothing.
It happened that the drones began to boast that they made the fine honeycomb. This made the worker bees very angry and they called a wasp in to decide who was right.
"It is very difficult to say which of you really built the comb," said the wasp thoughtfully. "You all look so much alike. However, I have a plan. I suggest that you each move into a different hive and each build up a new comb. When they are finished I will inspect them. From the shape of the cells and the taste of the honey I will soon know who built the fine honeycomb in this hollow tree."
"That's not fair," said the drones. "We don't want to build another comb. We are talking about the comb in this hollow tree, not some new comb."
"We'll start straight away," Said the workers. "For we know we can do it." The wasp turned to the workers. "Now I know who can make honeycombs and who cannot. There is no doubt that the honey in the hollow tree belongs to you, workers."" Naruto recited. "There's a moral to this story. Do you know what it is?" he looked down at Konohamaru's face.
"Actions speak louder than words" came the old man's voice from the doorway of the boys' play room.
"Gampa" Konohamaru called
"Grandpa" Naruto sighed in relief running his hands through his hair.
"Now then little one it's time for bed and when you wake up tomorrow morning mummy will be back" the third said as he scooped up Konohamaru and took Naruto by the hand as he bought the two boys to bed.
(Line)
"I don't like it when momma goes on missions" Konohamaru snivelled at his grandfather "but Naruto tells the best stories ever" he smiled then, before he was hit on the back of the head with orange paint turning he found Naruto covered in his yellow paint with his hands conveniently dripping orange paint on the garden floor.
"Grandan told me the stories first, well in one of his books anyway" he smiled cheekily at the old man who sat smoking his pipe on the porch of the house. His hokage robes were amazingly clean considering the amount of paint covering the garden and the two boys.
"When's uncle 'Suma coming? It's more fun when he's around" he hinted
"Shouldn't you be wearing that helmet of yours, we don't want you cracking your head open again" the third countered smugly throwing a wet cloth and said helmet at Konohamaru.
"Stupid feet getting in the way all the time" Konohamaru muttered cleaning the paint off the back of his head roughly.
"Here let me help" Naruto took the cloth from his brother and tenderly cleaned off the remaining paint. Placing the helmet on Konohamaru turned to pout at Naruto, tugging his hair through the gap at the top of the helmet he crossed his arms angrily.
Turning quickly Naruto let a nice glob of paint fly hitting Asuma squarely in the chest of his jonin flak jacket. Looking down at the paint splatter covering his chest he lazily took a drag of his cigarette stooping down he placed his hand in a blue pallet of paint smirking he watched as Naruto's eyes widened then a smile spread out across his face as he realised what was about to happen.
"Run Ko." He yelled in glee running to the left as Asuma charged after him blue paint flying at him like kunai being thrown. He laughed in glee having a riot of a time. Konohamaru also had a great time giggling away at the antics of his older brother and uncle he turned his eyes to his grandfather who was watching the two chase round the garden. He inched closer to his grandfather grinning evilly just as he was raising his hand to throw his paint...
"Don't even think about it" the third stated stroking Nami who had moved from his shoulders to lie on the grass just in front of the porch. Pouting again Konohamaru decided to throw his paint at his two playing relatives running over to them he screamed as he threw himself onto his uncle's back and rolled over his shoulder placing a hand on the man's face and rolling on the ground laughing as he swiped at Naruto as well catching him in the chest as he fell. He began running as Asuma created a clone and chased after both boys.
Asuma pinned Naruto down and swiped the paint over his face while Naruto giggled manically he then proceeded to tickle the downed blonde, who erupted into an uproar of laughter. Laughing and screaming as loudly as he was brutally tickled mercilessly. Naruto begged as he tried to breathe through the relentless tickle attack turning his tear filled eyes he found Konohamaru was in no condition to help. He was also pinned down and being tickled manically by Asuma.
Finally releasing the two Asuma helped the breathless boys up off the floor, they were smothered in paint even Konohamaru's helmet hadn't escaped the paint war being covered in orange and blue paint with it smeared over his face and his clothes were splattered all over too. Naruto hand a nice yellow hand print covering one eye and his goggles had blue paint covering an entire lens as well as a few globs adhering to his clothes. Asuma's vest and face was the only thing covered in paint as he'd avoided most of their attacks on him.
They were suddenly drenched with water as the third sprayed them with a water jutsu to clean off some of the more wet paint. Spluttering they each sent a glare at the old man.
"Well you can't traipse paint through the house and it got rid of the worst of it" his eyes twinkled with mirth as he moved his pipe from his mouth.
"I wasn't even covered in that much paint" Asuma growled at him his cigarette limp and damp hanging from his lip.
"Nami get away from the paint!" the third shouted causing the curious blonde cat to jump slightly before attempting to claw at the pallet of orange paint "I mean it Nami, you'll have to get bathed if you get any paint on you" he threatened narrowing his eyes at the cat just daring the cat to do it.
"I need a bath" Konohamaru shouted breaking the tension away from the cat. He started moving towards the porch.
"Not dripping water you're not" the third stated crossing his arms
"And whose fault is that?" Asuma stated running his hand through his wet locks. Konohamaru pulled off his helmet quickly dropping it to the floor he pulled his white t-shirt over his head kicked off his shoes and shucked his shorts off running into the house in his underwear. There was a clatter as the orange pallet of paint was sent shooting across the garden followed by the yellow and blue pallets and a cat streaking past them. Looking down at the floor the third realised that Nami had stood in the paint and that paw prints now covered the floor into house.
"Damn it Nami what did I tell you!" the third screamed grabbing Konohamaru's discarded clothing and entering the house muttering dark curses at the cat.
"NO smoking in the house!" was shouted at him cursing again he removed his pipe from his mouth.
Chuckling Naruto turned to Asuma who was still glaring darkly, moving to collect the garden hose he started to wash the garden of the paint.
"Uncle Asuma how come you don't get on with the old man?" Naruto asked as he helped rid the garden of their paint fight. Asuma who had taken his vest off and was collecting the pallets turned at his nephew's question.
"We don't exactly see eye to eye" he stated
"Is that why you left?" Naruto asked
"Kind of. I wanted to pursue my own personal interests"
"Oh" Naruto stated washing away the last of the paint. "Uncle Asuma you're really cool you know that right. Best uncle in the world, please don't leave again" he said shutting off the hose as Asuma rolled it up.
"I won't kiddo"

Naruto's class were supposed to get jobs for the week but not any jobs it had to be in the civilian sector no working in the hokage tower (this was expressly aimed at Naruto) work placements were horrible he wouldn't be with his friends in Iruka's class and the villagers tended to treat Naruto badly there was no way he'd be able to find a job especially in the civilian sector.
Naruto was greeted at the gates by his mum; he made his way over to the swing waiting while she was speaking to the various clan heads. He watched as Sasuke walked over to his mum and after getting her attention proceeded to ask her something. She smiled and nodded. Iruka walked to Naruto then.
"Work placement's soon isn't it" he queried "what are you thinking of trying for?"
"Anything would be good" Naruto muttered
"Hello Iruka Sensei" Sayuri called politely coming to stand at his side
"Lady Sarutobi" he replied bowing his head.
"Naruto I've got to make a quick stop somewhere is that okay?"
"Yes mum". Naruto replied waving goodbye to Iruka.
They didn't have to walk far to find Sayuri's quick stop. It was a big round building with a large green sign with the words up written across it and a smaller brown one underneath reading "human life is varied" a proverb referring to life having its ups and downs. Walking through the doors Sayuri made her way through the building until she made her way to a lounge. Stopping at the doorway Naruto peered around the door so only half his face was showing it was a circular with multiple windows, long red sofas that circle around a pillar which had a plant surrounding it and a small green vent separating a set of sofas.
He saw Asuma sitting on one of the sofas along with several other jonin; Asuma was sitting on the sofa closest to the plant. He watched as his mum made her way over to Asuma, she stopped in front of him hands placed on her hips an annoyed look on her face. Asuma's smile soon dropped from his face he looked at Sayuri, apprehension evident on his face.
"I don't care that you and the old man don't get along you are coming for dinner. Its family dinner tonight you will be there and you will be on your best behaviour. You've got the boys tomorrow night from seven. I still need to finish preparing dinner so you will entertain the boys is that understood?" she glared menacingly, nodding quickly Asuma made his way quickly to the doorway.
"Mum the plant needs watering" Naruto stated as she made her way back towards the entrance way he was standing in.
"It's fine Naruto"
"No mum it needs watering" Naruto said adamantly
Looking back at the plant Sayuri examined the plant more closely along with the other jonin in the room shaking her head she was about to protest when she saw the determined look on Naruto's face.
"How can you tell?" she sighed
"Its leaves are drooping" he pointed out. The jonin turned to look at the plant not seeing the drooping as Naruto did.
"It's fine"
"Mum it needs watering. Please." He begged his eyes becoming rounder and bigger.
"There's no water here" Sayuri stated absently
"Then just use water jutsu you can cipher the water from the chakra. But in order to make a water jutsu you need a source of water. Just make sure it's watered soon." Naruto asked walking away.
A clever jonin who had made a coffee grabbed the watering can that was filled with water in the entrance way and proceeded to pour the contents on the plant.
The ninja in the room listened as the ragtag family made their way down the corridor.
"Hey Naruto" Asuma called
"Yeah"
"You can't really cipher water from the chakra right?" Asuma asked
"Yes Uncle Asuma you can, I read it in a scroll from Grandan's office" Naruto stated as a matter of fact.

Prior to everyone's beliefs it was hard to find a job for the academy students they had all struggled. Naruto had been turned away from several places not only because they didn't like him but also because his peers had already got there. He was debating about where else he could try when Sasuke walked past, curiosity got the better of him and he followed Sasuke to see where his placement was. He followed him to the jonin standby station.
"What do you want dobe?" Sasuke threw over his shoulder.
"Was wondering where you worked teme" Naruto
"Take it you haven't found one yet?" Sasuke smirked
"I thought we weren't allowed in the ninja... ... we were told civilian jobs" Naruto blustered
"Take it up with your mum, she got me this job for the placement" Sasuke smirked before walking into the building. Naruto frowned in thought he knew Sasuke was trying to get a reaction out of him, he was short tempered he knew but his mum would set up a job for Sasuke if he asked what was he supposed to do about it he still had to find a job, but he'd do it on his own, he was getting older now he could become more independent if he wanted too.
(Line)
Three days in to the job placement Naruto had gone through a lot of jobs. So far today Naruto had worked in a bakery he learned how to make bread he'd made two loafs before he was told he couldn't work there anymore. So he'd taken the two loafs with and stopped off at his apartment to deliver them. After the bakery he'd worked at a shop, he learnt about how the stock was picked and then placed on the shelves, how the tills worked when the shop got busy, how to clean the floor and where the wet floor signs were located. Of course being on a till customers tended to be rude in general then when they realised who it was serving them they would get worse in the end Naruto was let go again. The blacksmith was best the store owner didn't mind Naruto working there but of course once a customer found out he was there they kicked him out and Naruto decided he'd spare the man's business and leave. He even helped at Ichiruka ramen hiding in the back watching as they made the noodles and broth he cleaned the pots and bowls it lasted most of the day till he stuck his head out asking Teuchi where something was. The customers spat out the broth and started to shout, then Teuchi started to shout back and Naruto realising his mistake took off the apron bid Ayame goodbye and left his final job of the day.
Walking back to his apartment his hands deep in his pockets and his head downcast he decided he'd take the bread he had made to his mum she could make good use of it.

Ume, Kenta and Riku were walking past the pier together somehow they had managed to get to this part of Konoha. They stopped walking when they spotted Sasuke Uchiha standing at the end of the pier.
"You know his hair from the back kinda resembles a duck's butt" Ume stated tilting her head to the side slightly
"So the girl's in Naruto's year chase after a duck butt with a stick up his arse" Riku queried
"Naruto's far better looking" Ume commented causing the two boys to turn and gape at her
"How's that?" Kenta asked jealous that his love was in love with another.
"Well Naruto's got amazing blue eyes which reflect his mood changing from stormy grey blue to amazing sapphire blue when he's happy. He's got perfect white teeth, a perfect tan, tousled blonde hair and when he smiles it's like the world just got brighter and his laugh it just makes you want to join in" she smiled fondly "shame he's eight though when he gets older he's going to be amazingly handsome."
"And nobody else sees this?" Riku pointed out
"There's that shy Hyuuga girl but otherwise no." Ume continued, throwing her hair out of her eyes.
"Hey guys what you talking about?" Naruto asked seeming to appear out of nowhere, causing all three to jump and Ume to blush red like a tomato.
"How Sasuke's hair from the back looks like a duck butt." Kenta stated easily taking the attention away from the other two.
"I never noticed that before" Naruto said chuckling "you know he's always out here after school. Everyday he's there at the end of that pier"
"Maybe he's trying to figure out how best to get into the water" Riku stated
"Should we help him in?" Kenta asked
"Why are you so mean to him? What's he ever done to you?" Naruto stated angrily, he hated bullying he was a victim of bullying and didn't approve of others doing it either.
"The way he treats you isn't right Naruto he's arrogant and up himself." Riku exclaimed.
"He's got a stick up his butt" Kenta exclaimed Jumping in the middle of Riku's rant.
"He belittles you and uses you as a punch bag" Riku continued glaring at Kenta
"Then that's my problem to deal with not yours" Naruto stated crossing his arms daring them to contradict him.
"So how's work experience for you Naruto" Ume asked realising that this conversation would very likely turn nasty, she began moving up the hill away from the pier. The boys following after her.
Sasuke let out a breath of air he'd been holding unconsciously those two really didn't like him and he wasn't in the mood to fight them. Besides his hair did not look like a duck's butt, he turned trying to glimpse his hair in his reflection; his footing slipped and before he was able to save himself fell forwards into the water.
"Duck butt soup" Kenta laughed from the top of the hill and pointed over at the fallen Uchiha who's hair was the only thing sticking up above the water.

Archiving was hard but fun at the same time Naruto decided. He had asked Iruka to help him with his work placement; it turned out Iruka had been asked to archive the files in the hokage tower so he'd suggested Naruto come along. They hadn't known that the third had predicted Naruto would ask Iruka for help and thus ultimately set Naruto up with the perfect job placement.
They had started off with the really old mission statements from before the founding of the village. That had taken most of the morning to sort through, identify, and then box up. They'd finally started on the reports after the founding of the village when Naruto figured something out.
"Iruka sensei." He waited till he had the others attention before continuing "how come you're archiving and not teaching?"
"Well the hokage assigned me this yesterday actually just before we spoke. I'm meticulous and organised so why not?"
"We'll you're a chunin and this has a lot of village history as well as secrets here in this room, it just seems odd. Wait who's teaching your class?" Naruto changed the subject.
"Imi Sensei is. I don't believe they're giving him an easy time of it though" Iruka chuckled. Before realising the first part of Naruto's sentence. "It is a little odd actually" he paused in thought.
"I bet he set it up" Naruto laughed "it sounds like something he would do." He smirked knowingly.
On the last day of the work placement Naruto and Iruka had moved onto the second shinobi war it would probably take till later in the evening to finish the half they were on. It was interesting finding out about the first and second hokage yesterday and about the Sannin and the white fang today. Naruto was in his element taking everything in and working efficiently alongside Iruka they both learned a great deal about the village's history and enjoyed each other's company. By ten o'clock that evening they had tidied up after themselves placed things away and put others back in their places. Stretching and yawning loudly Iruka cringed as his joints popped, Naruto was rubbing at his eyes tiredly and yawned widely showing his teeth off as he did so. They left the archives and locked it up tightly dropping the key off at the hokage's desk where he was sitting doing paperwork still. Naruto made his way to his room in the hokage tower and Iruka shunshined away to his apartment.

Iruka sensei walked round his class handing out the genin exam; however when he reached Naruto he paused, Naruto looked up at him his eyes moving left and right in thought he obviously knew what this was but should he give it to him or single him out.
"Sensei you've got to give Naruto the test it's not fair otherwise"
"Yeah who am I going to cheat off of if he doesn't get the test" a boy shouted from two back
"You won't be cheating at all thank you very much" Iruka said through gritted teeth, sighing "if I give you this test it will count. You understand it will count, cutting down your chances of trying again next year and with your age mates." He spoke worriedly.
"It'll be good practice but if I fail with my age mates after taking it now I won't get another chance right" he worried his bottom lip turning to look at Ume and Kenta they smiled at him.
"You can do it Naruto," Riku shouted "how else do you think Yuki will pass"
"Come on Naruto it will be easy as pie. Yum pie" a rather plump kid called out trying to boost his confidence.
"Okay. Okay Iruka sensei I'll try it, I'll just have to be extra careful later that's all." Naruto said hesitantly. Smiling fondly at the blonde Iruka placed the exam in front of him then moved the cat mask from the desk and placed it on Naruto's head.
Whispering softly "Make Cat proud" he smiled, he knew Cat had always thought of Naruto as a Genius but Naruto didn't always show that, this was his second attempt the first being when he was seven, after this he had two more attempts if he's lucky. "Good luck class and begin" he stated.
Ume Kita watched as Naruto threw the kunai and shuriken perfectly with his left hand before he seemed to realise what he was doing and changing hands threw the remaining weapons almost perfectly with his right hand. Naruto technically should have had a perfect or near perfect score here she'd watched him practice and helped him train just as Riku and Kenta had but the look on their teachers face seemed to show otherwise. Iruka sensei was handing in their written exams and would be collecting their results shortly.
The final part of the exam required them to perform one of the three basic jutsus; henge, Kawarimi and bunshin.
Everyone knew Naruto couldn't perform the technique they'd all tried helping him the best result he got was a half dead doll like clone but only the one not the three that were required. They all hoped that Naruto wouldn't get the clone jutsu.
Iruka finally called Naruto into the room.
"Okay Naruto you need to perform the Transformation technique" he smiled kindly at the blonde. Naruto adjusted his mask on the side of his head he placed his hands required of him and easily went through the hand signs required and made a perfect copy of Iruka he even made the mask disappear. "Well done Naruto we'll add the scores up and let you know." Iruka smiled.
Naruto sat on the swing outside the academy he failed the exam and the class had erupted at the teachers even Iruka was shocked that he'd failed there had been chaos the other teachers had been resolute in their decision. Naruto looked up when Iruka placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Let's go get some ramen" he smiled softly. Nodding Naruto walked with Iruka out of the academy grounds.
They walked to Ichiruka ramen bar it was Naruto's favourite place as far as Iruka knew, and was quickly becoming his favourite too. The owner of the ramen bar Teuchi and his daughter Ayame greeted them and took their orders.
"So are you going to tell why that went wrong?" Iruka questioned "I mean I knew you should have passed as well as the entire class. You're smart Naruto really smart, what happened?
"I guess I just choked" Naruto said being handed his ramen. "Thank you" he said to the owners before digging in. He ate it amazingly quickly the bowl was empty by the time Iruka had got half way through his. "Besides I've two more chances with my age mates now, seeing how they've all graduated now I'll have to go back in with my age mates". He sighed.
"You can have another bowl Naruto. Eat as much as you want I'm paying". Iruka smiled kindly.
"I don't really want to eat you out of pocket sensei. I'd eat twelve bowls if I could at least." He sighed happily.
"Seriously but you're so scrawny there's no way you'd be able to eat that much" Iruka sounded astounded Naruto had never admitted that before.
"Wanna bet" Naruto stated smugly
"You're on" Iruka smirked
Twelve empty bowls later Iruka sat gobsmacked that Naruto had eaten twelve bowls plus his original bowl but had also finished off the remainder of Iruka's third bowl. Smiling in triumph Naruto happily patted his stomach.
"Told you Iruka sensei, you shouldn't bet against me, Teuchi could you put the last ten bowls on my tab please."
"Naruto I said I'd pay" Iruka grumbled
"You have for your three bowl's and my first two bowl's seeing as I finished your last bowl it makes it about even don't you think?" Naruto quirked his head to the side smiling innocently jumping off the stool he waited as Iruka paid for the five bowls of ramen then joined Naruto outside the shop.
"We've still got another two days at the academy before you have to go back to class how about we have a one on one session then?"
"Really?" Naruto questioned
"Well I'll have to give out the teams list but then yeah really." He smiled
"You're the best sensei" Naruto said hugging Iruka tightly.
(Line)
Naruto and Iruka were throwing kunai at targets being the only two at the practice ground.
"Naruto?" Iruka enquired scratching at the scar over his nose sheepishly.
"Hmm" Naruto inclined his head towards his teacher.
"What's your dream?" Iruka asked.
"My dream? Well what was your dream? Like when you were growing up and now are they different or have they changed?" Naruto stated
"When I was in the academy after my parents died I wanted so much to be acknowledged by anyone that I became the class clown. Then as I got older I suppose I didn't know what I wanted then I realised I wanted to pass on the will of fire to the next generation I still do I think. So what's your dream?" he questioned serenely
"My dream?" Naruto questioned hesitantly "I've never really thought about it"
"What do you hope to accomplish in the future, what do you want to do or be?" Iruka prompted.
"Oh. Umm well I suppose I want to make this village better, a better place. So people aren't treated differently and that no one is left behind. I want this village to be a better place for the next generation to live. I know how I'd do it as well. It would take a long time but I can see it. Orphans are left to fend for themselves after a certain amount of time if they're not lucky enough to be adopted, most of them live on the streets I'd help them first while fixing the orphanage too. Then I'd expand out into other things." Naruto smiled eyes closed imaging his dream.
"That's a pretty big dream." Iruka sounded awed.
"I wouldn't do it alone." He smirked "Besides it's mum's fault really. I see the way she helps everyone. If it hadn't of been for her I don't think I'd be the person I am now, I know I need to shed my shell but I'm not ready to just yet." Naruto stated proceeding to throw the rest of the kunai in his possession, leaving Iruka to contemplate everything that had been said. After several minutes Naruto collected the kunai and turned to Iruka slowly.
"Iruka sensei what were you like as a kid?" Naruto asked blushing slightly.
"I was mischievous and constantly pulling pranks I didn't hide behind a facade/visage like you do." He tried to trip up the blonde.
"I don't hide behind a facade/visage" Naruto stated throwing the kunai with his left hand.
"So why do you do that?" Iruka shouted annoyed at the blonde
"What?" Naruto said throwing again
"You're left handed!"
"I'm ambidextrous. I had to be. I wasn't allowed to throw left handed!" he shouted angrily throwing the kunai with chakra glowing around it. They watched as it went through the target and the board then a tree and finally becoming embedded in a stone.
"I'll... ...err... ...I'll get Uncle Asuma to fix that" he scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Naruto" Iruka began his temper beginning to flare.
"Can we drop it just for now" Naruto begged. Iruka filed this exchange for later but let the subject drop as the blonde wanted. He hated how Naruto would cover things up like this but he would have to give it sometime before he tried again he knew only too well that if he pushed Naruto would close this subject off and he'd never get his answers he'd just have to wait.
Please review and let me know what you think.
Thank you very much
We're in the middle of decorating our kitchen at the moment, and in typical fashion our paint decided it didn't like where it was sat and dropped itself onto the floor two out of three can's spilled across our lament wooden flooring. A very curious cat decided to see what the bang was; luckily we scared her off so no footprints all through the house.
I hated work placement when I did it and it seemed like a fun idea at the time.
Oh the whole reason the story exists is because of duck butt soup. I was bored an drew a duck butt while my sister was watching or reading Naruto with Sasuke on the page I think and the Marx brothers film duck soup caught my eye hence duck butt soup. That and the song seldom seen kid lol.
