It had nearly been a month since he first arrived, and he slowly began to learn more about Vale and Remnant as a whole. Being a faunus was difficult but it was something he was accustomed to, despite not fully grasping all the law aspects. It was very similar to the treatment of how he grew up as Kurama's vessel but unlike before…

He was much more adept and capable of dealing with them and their discrimination. Funny how a simple transformation could fool shopkeepers here, not that he would let them get away with their hatred.

The Prank King had returned in full force when he felt an injustice was served.

Glynda had personally asked why he requisitioned so much paint but Ozpin just smirked and let it be, saying everything would be more colorful and he was right. Quite a few shops were now confetti painted due to their bigotry.

No one dared to not serve Naruto Uzumaki ramen and got away with it. That was a crime of the highest order! Especially in front of a friend!

Naruto got to know Velvet, and her team at that, over the last month. And he had to admit while Velvet was demure and mild manner when she was on her own. When she was around her team she was far sassier, probably a little bit of Coco's personality rubbing off onto her.

Coco was very confident, almost overly so. She seemed so self-focused that points it annoyed Velvet and the faunus would even call her out on it. It didn't seem to affect her but when the restaurant incident occur it seemed she started to reevaluate some things.

Fox was interesting as he had never met a blind warrior before and never one that wanted to take part in one of his pranks after he and Velvet were not allowed into a restaurant. His ingenuity in helping make his paint bombs and helping set them up despite his disability…

He had a new friend.

The last member of the team, Yatsuhashi Daichi was pretty cool as well. For a big guy, he was quite self-conscious and rather quiet but he was very protective of his friends and was ready to throw down when they got thrown out of the restaurant. He just simply turned a blind eye when Naruto and Fox painted the place in confetti colors.

They had shown him across Beacon and Vale over the last month to get him adjusted to his new living environment and he was thankful for it. If he had just been trying to learn about Remnant from books and going out on his own it would have been so boring and quite frankly…

Lonely.

He was already missing his friends and wondering how they were doing. Wondering what they were up to. But all he could do was hope for the best and believe in them. And knowing each of them was strong in their own right was enough for him to believe they were doing well. He knew each of them would take it hard, Hinata especially if Sasuke was showing him at the end, but he had faith.

They would stay strong and everything would be fine.

Landing on a tree, and scanning the area, Naruto found the area to his liking. It wasn't too secluded as he could still see Beacon off in the distance, but it was forested enough that he was hidden enough to let loose a little for some light exercise. And if a Grimm showed up…

Well, it probably wouldn't want to show up.

After jumping into the clearing, Naruto slid into frog katas and let the world flow around him. He didn't draw upon natural energy to enter Sage stage, he just let himself be part of the world. As of coming to Remnant and no longer having Kurama's or the rest of nine's chakra to draw upon to reach Asura state, which was relatively new for him anyways, he seemed to be more inclined to blend with natural energy. He could still enter Sage state and it gave him a tremendous boost but he just felt one with the world as he moved.

He had heightened senses, speed, and reflexes to go along with just being a tad stronger than he remembered as well. He learned as well that his lungs and breathing felt off as well while training and at first he thought it wasn't a great thing but slowly he began to recognize things were less taxing on his body and it came back to his oxygen intake. So, it was something he was beginning to look into on how to improve as if this was a faunus trait…

Naruto could get behind it.

Healing wasn't as great before but that was something he had come to expect. Kurama was no longer with him and hopefully was doing alright on his own, not terrorizing others and especially Sasuke. But to his surprise, he still had a very good recovery rate and while it was nothing compared to his literal regeneration from before cuts, scrapes and bruises were still inconsequential and healed within minutes.

He wasn't up for testing sprains, broken bones, or tears but he had a feeling those would take half a day to day depending on the severity. He probably could speed up the time chakra amplification but that was always a risk even with Kurama being with him.

Chakra recovery was going to be slower. He would have to be smarter in managing it but at the same time he had a massive reservoir so if push came to shove, he could always pull out the big guns without worry. By the end, Kurama was even calling Naruto a tail-less beast due to the amount of chakra he possessed on his own. He might not have access to Kurama's or Asura's cloak but he still knew the techniques he created so he knew how to mold them so in theory…

He was a living buzzsaw when it came to.

To be frank, combat was the least of his concern. He had come across a few Grimm when he slipped out to check his physical facilities and exercise, Beowolfs he believed. They were simple to dispatch and while he was sure there would be greater and stronger threats if the negative void he felt was anything to go by, he wasn't going to be threatened any time soon.

If anything, he was probably going to have more of a threat from dealing with criminals as he saw the rise in Dust theft and was getting tired of the incompetence of the law enforcement. And being who he was sitting around wasn't something he was going to do…

He was also going to probably be more of a threat to himself as again people could just be so bitter towards faunus and keeping himself in check was harder than he thought.

It would do no one any good just to scream, he knew that from a personal experience from his younger days. You simply had to prove you were above and beyond their pettiness and then work the crux of the problem which in this case…

Just seemed to be an internal bias and belief that faunus were inferior and lesser people, closer to being animals. Some didn't even believe they were born but created and that was just…

Naruto shook his head. That was an issue for another day. He had to focus on his new task.

"That initiation test is coming up here in a few days… And then maybe Ozpin will give me a clue on what he expects me to do… Cause I can feel that shadow moving." Naruto growled at both being left clueless about what he was supposed to do and he could feel void was up to something and it bothered him.

"Well, whatever. I'm getting hungry." Naruto finished his kata and kept the movements fresh in his mind before he put his hands in his pockets and sighed. "Wonder what Velvet and Fox are doing or if they are in a class? …Guess one way to find out."

Jumping back through the trees, Naruto made his goal clear. To see if his friends were available for lunch. Completely forgot he now had a new little tech device that was capable of just calling them and seeing if they were available.

The luxury of new tech was still lost on Naruto.

Today was the day of everyone's arrival and Naruto was curious. As much as he discovered over the last month he felt he barely scratched the surface and people were a whole new world for him when they came from all over the world. He would be curious to see if he could weed out the potential Hunters and Huntresses so he could at least figure out who'd he be dealing with for a while.

At least until he figured out what Ozpin's game was! That man was driving him crazy, but he could afford to wait this time. It wasn't like there was a rush or a time limit. Getting home didn't seem like a possibility although certainly there could be something out there that could lead him on that path. Odds just weren't in his favor.

Besides he could play the game. He wondered how much he was making Ozpin pay in repairs and fixes from all his pranks.

Little did he know a blonde woman sneezed and was irate from all the paint she had to clean off the Academy this morning with her Semblance.

Watching the doors of the airbus open, Naruto watched from his perch as he hung out in trees nearby. He wasn't entirely interested in introducing himself just yet. He just wanted to observe and see what everyone was about.

"Was this how I should have been like during the Chunin Exams? Probably but that's expecting a lot from my twelve-year-old self... Expecting anything out of myself then would have been a bit much." Naruto wondered out loud to himself as he saw a bunch of people he wasn't too impressed until a blonde ran out and puked into the trash can.

Snorting at that but understanding the sensation as he was hardly better on his first air ride, his attention was immediately brought to a blonde and a … How did classify that hair color? Red? Black? Wine?

A girl that smelt like roses.

A blonde and the girl that smelt like roses caught his attention as the smaller of the two was absolutely giddy about seeing everyone's weapons. It became apparent at that point the blonde was her older sister, intriguing Naruto as he couldn't see many resemblances between the two, and she was trying to…

Well, she tried to pawn her off so she could go hang out with her friends. Even though she didn't have any friends here as she had stated she had been accepted early. And her sister abandoning her at blazing speed left her tipsy and she tripped right into…

"What are you doing?!" A very loud and annoying voice rang through both of Naruto's sets of ears that nearly forced him to cover his more sensitive set of ears.

It seemed the rose-smelling girl had tripped over luggage that belong to some sort of snobbish princess, or at least that was what Naruto was going to call her. He seemed to be pretty spot on as she started in after the rose girl tried to apologize.

"Ugh… Sorry."

"Sorry?" The white-haired girl huffed before grabbing a briefcase that ended up next to a rose-smelling girl and pulling out a vial. "Gimmie that! Do you have any idea the kind of damage you could have caused?"

It seemed she had no care for the damage she was about to cause as she wildly shook the vial in front of rose smelling girl's face and Naruto could see what was about to happen as small vapors of smoke began to escape. "This is Dust mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry! What are you brain dead?!"

The rose-smelling girl was just too stunned to respond other with anything other than ums and whats at the white-haired girl's rant and she was getting whiffs of the vapors making her very, very lightheaded. This did not spot the princess in the slightest. "Fire, water, lightning, energy! Are you even listening to me?! Is any of this sinking in?!"

"What do you have to say…"

"ACHOO!"

An explosion of fire, ice, and electricity rocked where both the rose-smelling girl and the pampered princess were just a second before yet as the dust settled but were only ash-covered leaving them relatively unharmed.

This only seemed to enrage the white-haired girl even further despite having been at fault. "Unbelievable!"

At this point, Naruto was done. She had quite honestly annoyed him and was berating the girl for what was an honest accident and it was clear the girl was frazzled and unsure how to deal with this.

He was not.

"Enough princess." Naruto dropped in and landed between the two in a crouch before slowly standing up, separating them before anything else could happen. "She apologized for what was a complete accident. You on the other hand keep aggressively attacking despite the fact she is clearly not putting up a fight so I'm going to change that and be her shield and if need be… Her sword."

Naruto's sudden appearance caused the princess to jump back, startled at his sudden arrival as he offered a hand to the rose-smelling girl and helped her to her feet. However, it was the two appendages on the top of his head that caught her off guard the most as he was a faunus yet here he was without hesitation helping a human and even protecting one…

Who was this person? And also how dare he interrupt her?!

"Do you have any idea of who you are talking to?! I'm…" The princess was suddenly interrupted as a new person made their presence known.

A slightly older feminine girl with black hair wearing a bow on her hair holding a bottle of dust that the princess previously was holding. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. One of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."

"Ah, finally some recognition…"

"And the same company infamous for its controversial labor force and questionable business partners and practices." The black-haired girl finish starring daggers before handing the bottle of dust over to Weiss, not very impressed with her either.

"What… How dare you…"

"I don't care who she is or how high and mighty she may think she is, no one is untouchable!" Naruto growled as he still stood before the rose-smelling girl, his protective instinct in full force. "When someone is in trouble, I will stand up for them when they can't. When something is wrong, I will stand for what is right. That is what I've always done and what I will always do because that is just who I am."

"Now princess I ask you, can we just accept Rose's apology and my own so we can be done with this?" Naruto asked hopefully so their day could move along and as much as he would like an apology, for rose-smelling girl's sake he wasn't going to force it.

Nothing good would come from forced change.

Weiss was extraordinarily caught off guard by the intensity in the blonde faunus' voice when he declared he didn't care who she was and that frightened her. It reminded her so much of what her father dealt with the White Fang but suddenly the demeanor changed as it was clear that aggression wasn't the intent.

And his words, she heard words spoken like them before many times but the delivery… The passion and the fire behind them. And there was a presence behind them she just couldn't shake. She felt it every time her father spoke but this felt… Even more intense.

"Fine, just be sure to not let it happen again," Weiss stated as her servants got her luggage back onto her trolley and began to walk away with them but couldn't help but give a trepid stare back only to meet the blonde faunus stern gaze.

Maybe… She had been a little too harsh.

Naruto simply sighed. This was not how he planned for things to start the day and he already felt he needed some ramen just from dealing with that. Little did he know he now had a floating heart chibi Rose behind him.

"Wow… Just like the heroes in all the fairy tales!" The rose-smelling girl, now in a chibi state, proclaimed startling Naruto as he looked back at her in shock and awe as he couldn't comprehend how she was able to transform her body to such a state.

"Hardly." The bow-wearing girl stated as she watched the scene fold, curious as well before her attention was turned back to the faunus wearing an orange trench coat, black collared shirt, and black pants with orange combat boots.

She then offered her hand to him. "The name is Blake… And do you have a minute?"

Surprised at the girl's forwardness, as he had not pegged her for that type, the fox simply shook her hand. "Sure. Naruto's the name. Naruto Uzumaki."

"What?! You're leaving me here? All alone!" Rose suddenly realized she was getting left out when the blonde that Naruto was quite sure vomited stumbled up to bat.

"Well, at least it seems like I'm not the only one having a rough first day."

"Nah, I'm leaving you with him. He seems like he could use some company too." Naruto pointed at the blonde in armor and winked. "He might be more than he seems. Those air buses can be rough if you aren't used to air travel. Did wonders on me the first time I traveled by one."

"See! It is common!" The knightly blonde felt justified now and a little better about himself.

Feeling better now that she wasn't left on her own, Naruto joined Blake as he waved goodbye. "See you later Rose… Vomit boy."

"Hey!"

Their walk was relatively in silence, something that Naruto was surprised by as Blake had asked him to come with her but as they slowly made their way to the auditorium it seemed like it was just for a walk. However, he knew otherwise as he could feel it, she just was taking her time.

"That was a brave thing you did." Blake finally broke her silence as the took in the scenery of Beacon. "Most faunus… People would have just sat by and just let a scene like that happen."

"As I said, that is not in my nature and it is just who I am," Naruto responded as he started to get a better read on Blake as her swirl of emotions was confusing, to say the least. "I'm not one to idly stand by when another is in trouble and I can do something about it… And I can say the same about you. You intervened with the same intent."

A sad smile crossed her face before she shook her head. "All I did was call out her family's practices and get the attention away from the girl. What you said had far more of an impact and letting her know she wasn't untouchable seemed to hit a nerve."

"That was more than enough. It got the job done and I probably didn't need to go off… I'm just hot-tempered and hard-headed with my beliefs and I know that going to get me into trouble." Naruto complimented Blake before admitting his faults. "A softer touch was probably the way to go… I'm just a hurricane kicking down doors."

Holding back a snort as that was genuinely a funny fault to admit and the way he said it caught her off guard, Blake regathered herself. "I think you don't give yourself enough credit. That was rather well worded, and I think it hit its mark."

"Huh, you think?" Naruto stated as they found themselves at the front of the auditorium and found themselves a spot. "Guess I never really thought about it but my friends always said I could talk anyone to my side, so I guess you have a point."

Noting that Naruto wasn't leaving and joining the festivities left Blake further curious. The fact that he was already here made it seem like he was already a student. It just seemed instead he was here ahead of time or that he a special case. It piqued her curiosity further, but she would curb it for now hearing Rose as Naruto called her to complain loudly to her sister before Weiss interrupt and gave a pamphlet and warning on Dust.

"Oh my god… Does she ever stop?"

"A brick might do the trick, but she did tank that explosion so…"

Again, Blake found herself holding back a snort before she shook her head with a disapproving glare. "Violence isn't the answer."

"No, but it was funny." Naruto grinned and Blake could only smile before attention was brought onto Ozpin as he walked to the podium with Glynda standing beside him.

"I'll keep this brief." Ozpin started as Naruto annoying glared at the object of his annoyance over the last month and his pet witch. "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people."

"But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy… In need of purpose, direction." Ozpin continued as students began to whisper amongst themselves, not sure how to take how he was calling them out.

Naruto however was very sure what he was going to do as he had this planned out far in advance. He pulled out a detonator. And Blake looked at him and the objection curiously. "What is that?"

"You assume knowledge will free you from this… But your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far." Ozpin continued, almost looking at Naruto and daring him. "It is up to you to take the first step."

"A detonator."

Blake's eyes widened as she heard that word and tried to reach out but Naruto's button press was too fast. The stage was suddenly ablaze with Uzumaki spiral paint explosions and smoke in his signature confetti style. The entirety of the stage was coated in the spirals giving it his signature flare but somehow much to Naruto's annoyance…

Ozpin and Glynda were left unscathed in the middle.

"I guess I did go on long, didn't I?" Ozpin laughed at himself and the event. "A little color does liven up the stage though and the execution was excellent. Seven out of ten."

Naruto's ears and left eye twitched before pulling a small notebook and writing 'Phase 2, Uzumaki Bombardment failed. Phase 3 planning stages, crabs?.' Before turning to Blake. "Do you know anywhere that sells crabs and lobsters?"

Blake wasn't sure whether to be horrified or stupefied at what she just witnessed. The level of thought and preparation that went into a prank to make it seem like he almost pulled off a terrorist attack… Just to paint bomb the stage and fail to hit his target is some invisible force protecting them… And now he was asking about crabs and lobsters.

What kind of relationship did he have with the headmaster?

Extremely annoyed at the explosions of paint cover HER stage, Glynda took the microphone stand and continued without missing a beat although her intense gaze focused solely on the headache that was known as Naruto. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. Dismissed."

Feeling the heat of her gaze, Naruto knew retreat was the wisest decision as he could handle Ozpin. Glynda was a different story. "Well Blake, how about we get out of here and I show you to the ballroom?"

Noticing the murderous intensity oozing off of Glynda, Blake could not help but agree as she just didn't want to be anywhere near the irate witch. And having someone who knew their way around was just a benefit she couldn't pass up.

So, Blake hurriedly followed after a whistling Naruto, ignoring the hole being burned into the back of his head by the said witch.

He couldn't quite say he had been an environment like this before. Every student that was to take the initiation test was all going to sleep in a single room for the night.

Unsupervised.

A ton of mix gendered sixteen to eighteen-year-olds gathered in one room and expected to sleep and behave. That was a recipe for disaster and he was thankful that many were actually here for serious reasons and were putting aside their more natural impulses.

Mostly.

There was still a lot of flexing and flirting going on.

Finishing washing up, Naruto sighed as he stepped out of the washroom and back into the main ballroom. He was entirely out of his element despite that these were all people around his age. He was grown up to be trained as a warrior while mostly everyone here… Was not. Sure, they had some training and skills but were their lives dedicated to the task?

He doubted that.

Setting his rucksack up against the wall and away from a lot of people, ironically setting himself closer to Blake without even doing it intentionally, she was too into her book to bother anyways, and he had no intention of breaking that focus. He just simply lit the candle next to her so it would be easier for her to continue reading.

"Thanks."

Naruto waved it off as it seemed she was just too absorbed in her reading and he went to his rucksack and stretched his back and joints as he prepared for a night's sleep. Camping wasn't so much the issue as it was just sleeping with so many others around…

"Hello there! I believe you all have met"

"Yang no! Don't embarrass me!"

Both Naruto and Blake blinked. Just what was she planning against her sister's will?

"Yes, she exploded in the park," Blake stated how they met, trying to figure out where this was going.

"Rose smelling girl, yep, we met at the park when you abandoned her for trivial affairs. How're you doing Rose?" Naruto walked back from his rucksack as he had to take part in this… Whatever this was.

Also, he wanted to call out the blonde as he wasn't too impressed with her so far. There was probably more than what he saw but the phrase 'Show me what you got!' was failing her so far at least in his eyes.

This right away lit a fire in the blonde known as Yang as she glared at Naruto and confronted him, standing toe-to-toe with him despite being two inches shorter. "What did you say punk? I did not abandon…"

"Ditched your younger sister in an unknown, unfamiliar place to go hang out with your friends when she had no bearings on what she was doing. Doing so immediately left her vulnerable and, in a situation, where she was verbally abused. And then exploded. What would you call that?" Naruto counted each separate offense as he glared back, not willing to back down as again his protective instincts slowly rose to the forefront as that situation earlier left a bitter taste in his mouth.

At this Yang recoiled. When pointed at in that manner it felt like she did just abandon her sister and left her to the wolves. And the fact she heard his sister exploded after she left did make her feel bad but putting it this way made her feel even worse.

"Guys… it's okay…"

"Dammit… I did it again, I apologize." Naruto groaned as he found himself a little quicker to temper since coming to Remnant, possibly something due to his faunus nature but he had felt it was more due to the fact he was still coming to terms with having died in his world and was here now.

"I'm sorry too." Yang apologized as she realized she pressed him into and he was not one to back down before offering her hand in apology. "The name Yang Xiao Long and I think I've been on the wrong end of a few decisions today."

"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki… Rose?" Naruto stated after shaking Yang's hand before realizing he once again was leaving the person that was central in all of this out.

She simply blushed and grumbled while Yang laughed as if he was telling the funniest joke. "You're actually calling her by her last name. She only gets called that when she's in trouble!"

Rose just blushed even harder before muttering her name. "I'm Ruby…"

"Well, it's nice to finally meet you properly. Now let's hope I don't go starting any more fights around you otherwise people might start saying things and we wouldn't want that. Think your sister is jealous enough as is." Naruto grinned at Ruby's blushing form.

"As if. Why'd I be jealous?" Yang huffed as he glared at him and Naruto was about to comment but Ruby immediately saw where the conversation was heading.

"No, no, no!" Ruby slapped her hand over Naruto's mouth as he was clearly about to point out her gawking over all the guys flexing. "I think we're good here…"

Blake coughed to get everyone's attention as she was quite annoyed at the level of noise in her area. Naruto simply apologized. "Sorry Blake, we'll keep it down…"

"What's the book about?" Ruby suddenly asked as she was curious now that Blake had entered the conversation, surprising the yukata-dressed girl.

"Um… It's about a man with two souls fighting for control over his body." Blake stated, explaining the book she was reading as it wasn't often she had to do such a thing.

"Oh… that sounds really lovely." Yang sarcastically responded to herself.

Naruto repressed a scoff as he mentally stated he could teach that author a thing about how two souls in a body really worked.

"That sounds good... I love books." Ruby started as tried to make an honest connection with Blake. "Yang use to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters… They're one of the reasons why I want to become a Huntress."

Blake a small huff of a laugh, but humored Ruby nonetheless. "And why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?"

Ruby gave a simple nod and a smile. "Well, I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like the heroes in the books… Someone who fought for what was right and protect the people who couldn't protect themselves."

Looking into Ruby's eyes, wondering if Naruto rubbed off on her as well, Blake sighed. "That's very ambitious for a…"

"And that's great." Naruto interrupted Blake, sensing where he was going, and decided to cut her off. "But it's going to take more than just words. You're going to have to prove it day in and day out. You're going to have to fight and stick up not only for others…. But yourself because if you can't do that, what good are you to others?"

Moving over and patting Ruby on the shoulder, Naruto simply smiled. "But that takes time and work! You've got to find yourself first and it seems like you've got a good start so we just need a good push. So don't worry, you'll get there and be a great Huntress!"

Feeling the confidence beaming from her from the load he just dumped into her, Ruby nodded vigorously in agreement. "Right!"

"I'm so proud of my baby sister!" Yang suddenly announced and squeezed Ruby, lifting her into the air.

"Cut it out!" Ruby responded with a right drop punch and the two brawled on the floor as both Naruto and Blake watched the cat fight in wonder.

"Well, as entertaining as this is…" Blake began as she was trying to get back to reading

"What in the world is going on over here!" A shrill voice that no one wanted to hear as Weiss stomped all over them. "Do you realize that people are trying to sleep?"

"Not you again!" Both Ruby and Yang screamed at Weiss as they were just done with the princess.

It also seemed Naruto was done with the situation as well. And Blake's eyes widened.

"No!"

"What is that?" Both Ruby and Yang questioned.

"A detonator," Naruto answered honestly leaving everyone that could hear the conversation on edge and ready to flee. 'If everyone doesn't shut up and get in their beds, rucksacks, or whatever they have to sleep on I'm going to hit it and we're all going to have to deal with being coated in paint for the rest of the night. Every single person in this building."

"And I can live with my decision. Can any of you?"

Everyone soon found themselves far away from the volatile faunus and preparing for bed as Naruto finally laid down to get some shut-eye while Blake finally was allowed some last-minute time to read.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

A/N: A quick update as things currently are in flux here on my end. Once everything settles down, I don't know what updates will look like but for now I'm going to post what I can and see where I get.

A little more humor in this chapter as the Prank King begins to surface and starts his war against Ozpin. That probably going to be a comedic undertone just for Naruto to get back at him for stringing him along. That's kind of how I imagine how their relationship to go as the trust isn't really there but they Naruto doesn't sense any ill will out of Oz and Oz sees Naruto as a valuable piece he doesn't want to unleash until the time is right.

And I felt Blake was entirely in character for immediately pairing off with Naruto to just learn more about him. If we remember how easily she trusted Sun after a simple wink as he ran by her in their first time they ever saw one another. She had no right to trust him considering her background and with this at least Naruto is showing a bit of personality would that draw her in.

Yes, for those that know the characters canon height Naruto is slightly taller than he should be as he and Yang should be equal height. In fairness however he is also at the age of his growth spurt and I also one to believe that at the end of Shippuden his height should be technically taller than what it started at. I simply going to have Naruto end up reaching his adult height here shortly, probably close to end of the saga when he officially hits eighteen... When Anime characters usually jump up in size anyways.

Anyways, time for initiation test for chapter 3 which should be a bigger chapter.

Peace Out
