When Jiraiya opened his eyes again, he saw a white ceiling. "W-what? I was outside."

"Good, you're awake."

Jiraiya turned to see Hiruzen looking at him with a smirk. "Sensei? What happened?"

The old Hokage laughed. "You don't even remember what happened?!" Hiruzen fumbled with his pipe and coughed out a laugh.

Jiraiya frowned at why his sensei found the situation so amusing. He then closed his eyes and began to thank about the past events. It all came back to him in flashes. Naruto had…beaten him.

"I l-lost."

"Understatement of the year."

Jiraiya sent a mean glare toward his sensei for that one. But Hiruzen was correct. Naruto had beaten him without getting hit. Safe to say his pride was in shambles, leaving him to pick up the pieces. This all left him puzzled. Although he wasn't going all out, he wasn't holding back either. Jiraiya was using all his battle IQ and tricks to humble the no doubt, arrogant kid.

"How was he so strong?" Jiraiya asked puzzled and at a loss for words. Every time he went for an attack, Naruto would counter, dodge, parry, or just evade it altogether. That would then leave him wide open for an attack Naruto would send his way that always connected no matter what.

Hiruzen took a long drag from his pipe before looking at Jiraiya. "I honestly don't know. One day he just changed altogether. It's been a never-ending list of surprises."

"What do you mean?"

"He knew everything."

"Everything?" Jiraiya questioned with a tilt of his head.

Hiruzen nodded. "In the academy, he knew all the answers and got high grades. He would deliberately miss questions to stay in the middle. When sparring, he'd only show enough to pass as a brawler. It wasn't until teams were being assigned that I caught on."

"Let me guess, he manipulated the system into putting him on a team with his little girlfriend." Jiraiya throughout his conclusion.

"Yea, but how did he know that? Naruto was able to play us all. When called into the council, he was completely relaxed and controlled the flow of everything. He even knew about the nine tails and threatened Danzo with it." Hiruzen basically shouted at Jiraiya who had eyes wide as saucers.

"I can only imagine Danzo didn't take that too well." Jiraiya laughed at the image of a steaming Danzo being told off by Naruto.

"Danzo is dead."

"Huh?"

"Naruto killed Danzo the other day." Hiruzen informed Jiraiya with a sigh.

"How did he do that?" Jiraiya couldn't imagine how a genin could beat someone like Danzo who had countless years of experience under his belt.

"The boy came up with a plan to hide in the office using some technique that didn't allow him to be detected, not even I could sense him. When Danzo was in striking distance, he jammed a Kunai right into his skull. No flashy jutsu, just a straight kill." Most kids Naruto's age still believe that flashy jutsu is the way to go. That jutsu is true strength.

"Wow, That's impressive." The toad sage had to give it to Naruto. "But why did Naruto kill Danzo."

"While in the Forest Of Death, Danzo sent some of his root ninjas after Naruto and his team. Naruto had told me Danzo attacked three clan heirs." Hiruzen informed his student who was taking in all the information.

"So he knows about his lineage." Jiraiya stated more as a fact than a question.

"Since he was a kid." Hiruzen acknowledged.

"He is really something." Jiraiya said feeling proud.

"It doesn't end there." Hiruzen halted any thoughts Jiraiya might have been having. "Naruto got information on the invasion I told you about, while also coming up with a plan for the whole thing. He came into the chambers and basically became the Hokage. Naruto's mind is a frightening thing."

"You must be joking." Jiraiya said unbelievingly. But all the facts were there and he found out firsthand.

"I'm not. Naruto is going to become the strongest shinobi to ever live. I can feel it." Hiruzen spoke with full confidence and utter certainty.

"That's some claim." Jiraiya breathed out. "But what about Danzo's root?"

Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya seriously. "You are going to take them into your spy network. Use them to go places your others spies can't."

Jiraiya placed a hand on his chin and thought about it for a second. That would serve to help increase his range over the villages. He would be able to get information on literally anyone. "Alright, I'll go and tell them when I leave."

"Don't you mean after you give Naruto the key to his seal?" Hiruzen corrected.

"S-sensei! You don't really want to give that kid full control of the nine tails." Jiraiya questioned his sensei in a baffled manner. His sensei had clearly been smoking too much.

"Naruto would not be asking for the key to the seal if he wasn't confident. Plus, it's better to give it to him or else…" Hiruzen stopped to grin at Jiraiya. "He'll take it."

They both look towards the door when they hear the sound of a knock.

"Come in." Hiruzen spoke to the two people he could feel behind the door. The door opened to reveal the two beautiful black-haired women, Kurenai and .

"Hello Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-sama." Kurenai said and bowed to the two powerful men in front of her.

"Good day to you both." Unohanna bowed as well with a warm smile on her face.

Hiruzen merely smiled his grandfatherly smile at the two women before asking his question. "What brings you two lovely ladies here?"

The two smile at his heartfelt comment and the generosity he was known for. They really appreciated it since no one really complimented them besides the blonde student for Kurenai along with her boyfriend and the blonde patient for Unohanna.

Jiraiya smiled lecherously at the two beauties in front of him. "I hope you came to check up on me, I've been feeling a little sore in my lower area, and I might need some help." The Sage wiggled his eyebrows with his grin growing.

The smile he got was bone chilling and was not helped at all by the face of the grim reaper appearing behind both of the girls. The air became cold and Jiraiya hid under the sheets like a scared child.

"Oh, I can remove the lower area where you are feeling sore, therefore getting rid of the pain." Unohanna's voice was chilling and her eyes opened unleashing an ample amount of bloodlust on the whole room.

"I can place you in a genjutsu which will make the pain almost non-existence if you would like." Kurenai spoke in the same tone as her ruby-red eyes seemed to shine. She may have said the pain would go away, but they all knew she would do the opposite.

"Sorry." Jiraiya squeaked out.

The intent vanished and the women smiled as if nothing happened. As if they did not just threaten the Toad Sage only seconds ago.

"I did come here to check on you since you were beaten up pretty bad." Unohanna seemed to mock as a smile tugged at her lips.

While Kurenai puffed her chest out in pride at her student.

"Don't have to rub it in." Jiraiya pouted. "What have you been teaching that brat anyways?" He sent his question to the sensei of team 8.

"Well when we first started, it was more of Naruto teaching all of us." Kurenai rubbed the back of her head after and blushed after revealing that.

"What? A genin teaching a Jounin?" Jiraiya asked in shock.

"Yea, Naruto really picked me apart." Kurenai said with slumped shoulders as Unohanna rubbed her back comfortably. Until the ravenet sprung back up. "But now I'm stronger than ever, I could probably beat Kakashi in an all-out fight!" She exclaimed proudly.

"Oh ho! Now that's something." Hiruzen laughed but smiled nonetheless. He loved that his ninja was getting stronger even if that meant being taught by a boy younger than them. "What did young Naruto teach you?"

"He taught me taijutsu first since it was my biggest weakness. Then after that, it was expanding my basic capabilities along with jutsu and even sealing." Kurenai went over her training with Naruto while counting it off on her hand.

"Sealing? He knows that too?" Jiraiya was being spun for an endless loop this week.

"I tell you, inside his head is an endless amount of knowledge." Unohanna laughed behind her clipboard. "He even knew about medical knowledge to help me become even better."

"Yes, I owe him one for that feat. The Hospital hasn't been this good since Tsunade was here." Hiruzen nodded and puffed on his pipe with a smile.

"I really underestimated him." Jiraiya laughed to himself as a sad smile spread across his lips

"Understatement of the year." Unohanna said but got an annoyed look from Jiraiya which made her laugh. Guessing his sensei already used that on him earlier.

Back in training ground 8 was Naruto talking to a purple-haired female ANBU. It was after his team split to go and do their own training for the exams. Naruto had stayed back since he had felt the woman waiting for him.

He knew who this was, Yugao Uzuki. The number one Sword Mistress in the Leaf. The woman was a wreck in his past life since her fiance had died around this time. But due to Naruto flipping the whole situation upside down, Hayate managed to survive and Yugao was still an active member of the ANBU.

"Very impressive Uzumaki. Not many can claim to beat an S-rank ninja at your age."

"It was nothing really, Jiraiya just underestimated me. Naruto shrugged his shoulders since it was true. If Jiraiya had more information about him and his skill, he may have stood more of a chance.

"Humble one, but I saw the whole thing. The fight may have been harder but the outcome wouldn't have changed that much." Yugao mentally checked. Naruto moved like a veteran ninja, not some wet behind-the-ear genin. "So I hear you want to use a sword do you?"

Yugao got down to the whole reason she was here.

"Yes, But I am surprised Sensei managed to get someone like you to train me." Naruto smiled at the woman across from him.

"Oh, do you know me?"

"Your reputation is wide, The ANBU Commander Cat."

Under her mask, Yugao smiled at her name is known by even Genin. Even though she was supposed to be a secret to the world, To have a reputation feared by all was every ninja's dream.

"You are not supposed to know that, Uzumaki."

"Uh-oh, kitty upset." Naruto teased with a grin.

Under the cat mask, Yugao brow twitched in annoyance. That was a name her senpei's would often call her when she first joined ANBU. It had taken years for that name to leave her. No way in hell this genin would bring that back to the surface!

Yugao released a scroll that went up in a poof showing two wooden swords. She tossed one to Naruto while the other one was thrust into the ground. "First, let's see where you stand."

For some reason, Yugao did not use the wooden sword and readied the sharp katana which shined with the reflection of the bright sun. Why was his teacher not using the wooden sword like him? Naruto wondered as he bent his legs and held the sword out in front of him.

An intense aura began to radiate off Cat as her eye holes glowed red with clear fury. It then dawned on Naruto. "Maybe she is mad about the nickname." Purely going off of instinct, Naruto held the wooden construct in front of him as he relied on his Uzumaki blood to do the rest.

The Uzumaki were known for being sword masters beyond equal. He however was lacking in that manner since there was never anyone to teach him. Along with finding out about his clan way too late in his life. There was already a war going on and he had no time to learn kenjutsu from a teacher.

Yugao observed Naruto's stance with keen focus as she looked at the slight bend of his knees, the way he held his arms, and the way his back was rigid not matching the loose stance his legs showed. "Not bad for someone who claims to not have touched a sword before, He at least has some sort of formation to go off of." But the purple-haired woman had no idea Naruto was simply going off instinct.

All of a sudden, Yugao rushed forward toward Naruto with her sword glinting in the light. She brought the blade down onto the blonde but only managed to hit the air.

Naruto was behind her and dodged with ease before he thrust the wooden sword forward meant to jab the gray vest of his teacher. Naruto shot his hand out and caught a back kick which made him slide back just the slightest.

"Let's not make this a kicking contest." Naruto joked in his mind before spinning Yugao by her leg and aiming to attack while his new sensei was confused.

That was until Yugao spun and her blade spun alongside her which whistled in the air as it carved a path through the wind to connect with Naruto. Within the quick action, Naruto raised the wooden sword that was easily cut but managed to parry the attack well enough.

Naruto blinked as he looked at his now shorten wooden sword. "Say, Sensei. Why'd you go and do that."

"You are a newbie indeed but I can see you have some sort of experience with a blade or some other kind of weapon. I've seen enough to know what to work on." Yugao said and fiddled with her katana. Naruto had immense potential in kenjutsu and she could be the one to bring it out.

To be known as the teacher of such a student would bring her endless fame and wealth. She might even make it into the sensei Hall of Fame.

"Alright, let's get training. A gold plak awaits me." Yugao rubbed her hands together with a greedy look on her cat mask.

"A gold what?" Naruto asked with a tilt of his head that made him look like a cute fox kit.

"Don't worry about it, let's just get to training." Yugao snapped back into reality before giving out her orders. "Pick up that wooden sword and let's get back to work." Yugao barely gave Naruto time to grab the damn thing as she was on him like white on rice.

The ANBU didn't have to worry about being too rough on the blonde since she saw he could more than handle it.

With a quick sway of his body, Naruto managed to bend back and dodge the attack and grab the wooden blade in the same motion. A feeling then took control of his body and he held the wooden sword in his right hand horizontally. A vice-like hold on the grip of the wooden sword that was aimed horizontally but still poised to strike out like a snake. On his left fingertip which was stretched out in front of him, a thin but sharp blade of chakra extended several inches like an erection.

Yugao hummed in confusion as that was something new. "What a strange stance. Where did he get this from?" The Anbu noticed the glow of sharp chakra on Naruto's fingers and felt uneasy at looking at it. "And how can he do that? He is supposed to have bad chakra control since he holds the nine tails."

With a calm face, Naruto dashes toward Yugao swiftly as he strikes out with the wooden sword which is blocked easily. That is when Naruto's glowing fingers spring out like an attacking snake and he managed to cut off a few strands of Yugao's luscious purple hair.

With swift movements, Yugao manages to evade or parry Naruto's strikes But finds the process increasingly hard as Naruto seems to adapt to her fighting style and learn as he goes. Yugao parry's an attack from Naruto and knocks the sword from his hand before she slammed the but of her blade into Naruto's gut.

The blade in Yugao's hand vibrated at a high frequency and shook in her hand. She felt like she had just shoved her blade into a diamond wall, but it was Naruto's abs.

The blonde for his part simply patted his stomach. "Um, Owe." Naruto ate the attack as he would ramen.

Yugao blinked. She planned to knock the wind out of the boy and send him to the ground. What were his abs made of? When Naruto fell to the ground she would instruct him on all the things he did wrong, but now.

"I guess you meant to knock the wind out of me with that one?" Naruto asked with a grin, only getting a nod from Yugao.

"Lift up your shirt." Yugao ordered.

Naruto widen his eyes. He then wrapped his arms around himself and recoiled back in horror. "No, Stay away from me pervert!" Naruto waled as he stepped back.

The ANBU mask seemed to flush red as Yugao stutterd. "W-what! N-no I didn't mean that. I-I just wanted to see your abs!"

She received a scream for her response. "This is all a misunderstanding! I'm not a pervert."

Naruto then grinned. "Just kidding. It was a prank." Naruto than laughed as he began to roll on the ground in laughter. "Hahah! You should have seen your masked face! T-this is all a misunderstanding! Hahaha!"

Yugao began to shake with anger as her face heated up while steam exploded from her ears. She had no idea how Kurenai handled this rascal and began to have second thoughts about taking up Kurenai's offer. "Uzumaki." Yugao said lowly as her katana screamed bloody murder.

Naruto stopped laughing as he felt the shift in the atmosphere. Looking at his teacher, the boy paled. "Hey! I was only joking!" Naruto got up and backed away from the slowly approaching women.

"First lesson, DODGE!" Yugao rushed towards Naruto with clear murder in her normally warm brown eyes, at least to the people who knew her.

The training continued on like that with Naruto dodging the sharp end of Yugao sword, while having to sometimes block or fight back when running wasn't an option. Although Naruto was running for his life at first, it soon turned into an actual training session. Yugao began to instruct him on what he was doing wrong and ways to improve.

Although Naruto knew many things, Being a kenjutsu specialist was something he had no experience with.

Naruto was not the only one training though. Hinata was in Kurenai's living room reading over books of sealing. It was the main thing she would work on over the month. Next to that was an unraveled scroll that possessed other forms of her fighting style. Hinata planned to expand on her own fighting style so she could possibly catch Naruto off guard with her new and unpredictable movements.

Shino found himself back at the forest of death. Kurenai had told him to go there and his sensei would show up and take things from there. Shino could remember the hesitance Kurenai's voice held as if she was not confident about her actions.

Then all of a sudden, A snake peaked its head over the giant gate and flicked its tongue in his direction. Shino tensed his muscles just in case he had to make a quick escape. That was until he was grabbed by the back of his neck and tossed into the gate like a sack of potatoes.

"I'll be your new sexy sensei for the month! You understand brat!"

Shino looked up from the ground and saw the scantily clothed Anko Mitarashi. Her tan trench coat fluttered in the forest winds as she held a striking pose.

Shino all of a sudden felt he had fallen into a snake's nest. What he would find, Only time could tell.

The sun was now setting over the training 8. Naruto rest on one knee as he was littered with cuts and dirt on his clothes. He was healing of course, but Yugao had made sure to apply enough pressure so she could actually hurt Naruto.

The training had been brutal and he found out Yugao wanted nothing but the best from him. If he messed up in his stance, the ANBU Captin made him do it all over again, and if he complained he had to fight her with only his sword and no chakra.

"Good job today Naruto. We will continue your training tomorrow, Make sure you are here bright and early." Yugao picked the blonde up and patted him on the shoulder. It was then her grip tightened. "Or else." As her eyes bore into his with intensity.

"You got it sensei." Naruto gave a nod and a weak smile.

"Great." Yugao tilted her head and smiled behind the mask, giving the blonde an eye smile. "See ya!" Gone without a sound and leaving Naruto alone.

"You can come out now!" Naruto shouted out towards the woods.

The bushed began to part for a tall man with white hair. "Seems you were training hard."

"Just a little warm-up for the main event." Naruto said as he stood up and rolled his shoulders.

Jiraiya placed his hands up and tried to ease the genin whose wounds were now closed and all of a sudden looked ready to fight. "Hey hey! I didn't come here for a rematch, which will definitely happen."

Naruto chuckled. The vengeful Toad Sage. "If you want your rematch, complete your sage training and I might think about it." Naruto sent his former master a playful wink.

The Toad Sage widened his eyes at a genin knowing about his incomplete sage mode. Most just assumed he had it, mastered since acquiring the title of Toad Sage. "H-how do you know about that?"

"It's not really a secret. In case you didn't notice, you're kind of a world-famous ninja." At hearing the words of Naruto, Jiraiya's ego skyrocketed and he puffed his broad chest out.

"I am aren't I!"

"Yea, but are you hear to give me the key for my seal?" Naruto asked in a serious tone.

Jiraiya dipped his head and looked away with shame in his eyes. "Yea, I am also here to say sorry." Jiraiya voiced Apologetically.

"Apology accepted, now gimme what you owe." Naruto motioned with his hand.

"One track mine much, Just like his mother." Jiraiya thought with a sweat drop before he bit his hands and went through the hand signs for summoning. In a puff of smoke, a toad built like a giant scroll appeared.

"Is it that time already? It hasn't even been that long." Gerotora said.

"Yea well the kid beat me in a fight so he should be able to handle the nine-tails power." Jiraiya said as he pointed towards the host of the beast.

"Ehh, this brat!" Gerotara observed Naruto who only walked forward and looked at him blankly. "What? Something on my face?"

"Nah, I am just eager to unlock my seal." Naruto told him as he began to rub his hands.

"Oh is that right? Well let's get to it. Say ahh."

"No." Naruto said Flatley. He did not want to experience a frog crawling into his mouth again. "I got a better idea." Naruto unravel the frog so he could witness the whole seal.

His arm took on a blue glow as seal markings began to appear on his arm. Jiraiya observed the seals with a keen eye as he had never seen something like this. Naruto reached his hand out and touched the seal with gentle fingers. Jiraiya's eyes began to go wide and wider as he observed the seal markings begin to transfer onto Naruto's arm in a fluid motion.

Naruto kept his hand on the seal until it was completely empty of all its contents. "Thank you, I'll see ya around." Naruto saluted the two before vanishing using Burst Step.

"Wait! What was Ahhh who cares." Jiraiya waved and slumped his shoulders. as his voice gave out mid sentence.

"Woah, kids got some speed. Almost like his father." Gerotara mentioned with a smile.

This seemed to bring Jiraiya's spirits up and a smile soon spread on his face. "Yea, but he seems to be his own person."

Naruto was now in the private training ground he and Hinata shared. It was now completely dark outside. It was also time to release the beast.

"Alright, Let's finally get you outta there, Kurama."

"About time."

Chuckling at his partner's response Naruto focused until he was inside the mindscape. When Naruto opened his eyes again, it was to the vision of a rich grass field. Sitting across from him was Kurama laying on the ground, seemingly calm. But Naruto could see the eagerness in his eyes.

Naruto walked up to Kurama and looked at the collar on Kurama's neck. He moved his seal-covered arm to the collar that began to shake and fade from view.

That was when his hand was grabbed and Naruto smiled. It had been a long time since he seen this man.

"Dad." Naruto smiled up at the figure holding him back.

"Hello, Son." Minato smiled at Naruto. That was when he noticed what was going on. Minato felt the warm wind blow air in his face. Turning, he saw Kurama looking at him. The man's heart fell to his stomach as he grabbed Naruto and flashed away.

"What is the nine tails doing out of its seal? And why is this place so…nice?" Minata questioned himself until he looked down at Naruto who was simply acting as if he expected this.

"Dad relax, it's just Kurama." Naruto said.

"What? The nine tails is free." Minato looked at Naruto perplexed. "We have to-"

Minato was cut off when a fist slammed into his gut and sent him to the ground. "Could you relax, jezz." Naruto said shaking his head. "You act as if you've never seen a tailed beast before."

"I-i, you caught me off guard." Mintao said trying to save himself.

"Yea yea Old man." Naruto waved his dad off with a laugh.

"But seriously, what are you doing trying to remove the seal? I can see you are not in any danger, So why?" Minato asked with his tone becoming serious as he stared his son down.

"That's because I and Kurama are friends, Partners in crime, and Comrades." Naruto said as he stared back at his dad with unflinching eyes.

Seeing his son was not going to give. Minato looked towards Kurama who seemed to be waiting and tapping a clawed finger on the ground. He mused over what he should do. It was crucial his son mastered the power of Kurama. To stop that masked man. But Naruto was only 13 and the power of the nine tails was immense.

Minato looked up and saw Naruto walking up to the giant fox without any fear or hesitation. As if there was nothing Kurama could do to him. Minato got ready and he was about to move but stopped once he saw Kurama glare at him.

"Oi, Relax." Naruto rubbed under Kurama's giant chin and felt the surprisingly soft fur of Kurama. A deep and guttural growl of satisfaction came from Kurama's throat. "My Dad is just nervous, no need to be so angry."

Kurama merely growled in response. While Minato stood over to the side with his face pale and eyes wide. Just what the fuck was going on?!

Naruto's hands lit up once again and began to get covered in seal markings. He placed his hands on the tag which hung from the collar. The collar began to get enveloped in seals before it disappeared completely and Kurama stood to his full height.

"Ok, I know for sure I did not give my son the full nine tails. No way he pulled the nine tails from the gut of the shinigami." Minato at this point was starting to lose all reason, next thing he knew, Kurama would spin his tails and start to fly.

"Ahh, gotta love freedom!" Kurama proclaimed with a wide grin. That was when golden chains appeared and wrapped around his giant body. "You've got to be kidding me!" Kurama roared and tried to fight his way free but found it impossible since the chains started to suppress him.

"Trying to get free are we? Not on my watch, Ya know!"

Both blondes look to see a redhead walking from the forest line with chains sprouting from her back. The woman's face lit up when she saw the two.

This was Kushina, Naruto's mother. Naruto let a smile cross his face as he missed her greatly. Kushina then started to run toward the pair with a bright smile. Minato opened his arms as he saw his wife.

That was when Kushina jumped right past him and into her son's open arms. Minato went white as a ghost and stared with a faraway gaze. Today was just not his day.

"Oh Son!" Kushina held Naruto tightly as she pulled him into her chest and began to shake from side to side. "Mommy missed you so much!" Kushina pulled back and smiled.

"Hey, Mom." Naruto laughed before embracing the redhead in a hug.

Kushina then turned and saw the still-frozen Minato. "Oh. hey Minato-kun!" As if she just noticed the man's presence.

The roar of Kurama made them all remember the fox in the room. "Naruto! Tell your mom to get these damn chains off me!"

"Oh yea, thank you can lay off the chains mom." Naruto looked at his mother with a grin.

"What?! Are you crazy!" Kushina asked in alarm.

"I know it sounds crazy but trust me, Kurama is my friend." Naruto pleaded with his mother who looked uncertainly.

Kushina's eyes moved to Minato who only gave a hesitant nod. Naruto seemed to trust the beast and so did Minato to some extent. Trusting her son, Kushina retracted the chains slowly and watched as Kurama looked down at them.

Kurama then left the seal before anything else could happen. Once he appeared outside he was small enough to rest on top of Naruto's head. "Fresh air never smelled so good." Kurama jumped off Naruto's head and happily walked off into the dark forest.

Back inside Naruto's mind, He was sitting on the ground next to his parents. He answered any questions they had while also just spending time with them. Minato was curious as to how Naruto got the other part of Kurama's chakra.

For Naruto's part, He came up with a quick lie and said Kurama's chakra just came back to him naturally as time went on. At first, he could see Minato wanted to say something but soon kept his mouth shut since so much was still not known about the tailed beast.

Kushina really didn't have any important questions as she was happier to speak with her son again. It had been so long since she had held her baby boy and Kushina didn't care one bit.

"Sooo." Kushina scooted closer to Naruto and got a teasing smile on her face. "Got a girlfriend son?" Kushina poked as a sly smile tugged at her lips.

Naruto smiled back as he thought of his Hyuga girlfriend. "Yes I do, her name is Hinata Hyuga. We've been together since eight years of age."

Kushina gasped and fell into the arms of her husband. "What? Have you guys had sex? Am I a grandmother already? Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze if I find out you had kids!"

"Ok Kushina-chan! That's enough of that." Minato held his wife back as he saw her hair starting to split into nine sections.

They then began to fade and forlorn expressions made it's way to their faces. Naruto also frowned in sadness already knowing what was about to take place. Naruto moved and brought of his parents into a hug as he closed his eyes and held them shut, He kept them so tight he started to see little lights in the darkness.

"Naruto." Minato said and hugged his son back as the corner of his eyes lined with tears.

Kushina clung onto Naruto and held her face in the crook of his neck. "Naruto, I love you so much." Kushina wept.

Their bodies began to glow and grow transparent. Naruto opened his eyes one last time and saw the smiling faces of his parents. The dam finally broke as he let tears fall. "I love you too." Naruto's voice cracked and choked sobs came from his throat as his parents disappeared completely.

Naruto opened his eyes again to the dark forest. He had been sitting in a meditative position for a long time.

"Are you going to cry your eyes out forever or what?" Kurama asked from the top of his head.

Naruto wiped his eyes. Despite Kurama's rude words, He was only trying to make Naruto feel better. He was thankful for his day one.

"No." Naruto got to his feet. "They wouldn't want that."

"Yea, so stop crying like a baby, you're a grown man despite how you look."

Naruto sighed, before he perked up and smile. "Thanks, Kurama." Naruto reached up and rubbed the fox under his chin. Kurama only grunted before laying down.

"Go home, Your mate is probably worried right now."

"Yea." Naruto smiled at the thought of Hinata before disappearing without a sound.

Song of the day
