Authors note: Well I'm back, not much to say so here's the chapter enjoy!
"You should never underestimate me sensei." Naruto said as he stared down Kakashi who just took out his book melodramatic like and started to read it. Naruto then disappeared making Kakashi's main eyes go wide before he blocked a kick to the head. But Naruto didn't stop there as he twisted his body slamming his leg down on the man's arm which he used to block before shoving Naruto back.
"How much?" Kakashi asked him narrowing his eyes.
Naruto smirked, he was surprised it took the man so long to realize what he had, "Half as heavy as Lee's" he said making the man's eyes go wide again as he softly rubbed his forearm from the pain of the weights slamming down on them.
Naruto made his infamous hand sign and shouted, "KAGE BUNSHIN JUTSU!" Kakashi now more prepared took out a single kunai ready for a fight.
"Well than our first lesson will be taijutsu" Kakashi said as the clones charged into attack the man who was now more prepared. Kakashi easily took out the clones while taking no hits on his own person before charging towards the young orange dressed boy. He quickly grabbed Naruto and held the kunai to his neck.
Naruto smirked before dispersing showing that it was a clone before Naruto showed up behind Kakashi "Futon: Thousand years of death" Naruto yelled as he extended wind chakra over his fingers shoving it into Kakashi's ass.
As soon as it made contact though it popped revealing it to be a shadow clone, "Whew that was a close one and that is a very dangerous move Naruto, I wonder how you learned it though…" Kakashi said staring down the boy now having more questions about his student.
Naruto singled Sasuke to come out, begrudgingly he did, "So the dobe needs my help does he" Sasuke said with a smirk.
"No but I've figured out that this is a teamwork exercise and so we need to all work together if we want to beat him. And before you say anything think about it, he's a Jounin and not just any Jounin but one of the best in the village we could never defeat him alone even your brother would have a hard time against him" Naruto said. The last part struck a chord in Sasuke hearing the part against his brother.
"Psh that means if I can beat him than I can beat Itachi" Sasuke said before rushing in. It didn't take long for him to lose though.
Naruto got to his side and Sakura showed up to help Sasuke, "Now are you going to listen if we beat him we'll get on his team and then he can train you to beat your brother" Naruto said to Sasuke.
The boy just held his stoic graze at Kakashi, "Whatever let's just beat him, Naruto cover me Sakura wait for an opening and attack with kunai and shuriken" Sasuke said before rushing in.
Naruto quickly followed in suit and through a punch at Kakashi's face as he was busy blocking Sasuke's kicks. Kakashi pushed Sasuke back and then grabbed Naruto's wrist throwing him off balance but that's when he noticed something fishy. He didn't know where Sakura was until he felt a sharp pain in his leg and saw that a kunai was sticking out of it.
He quickly fell to the ground before Sakura ran out screaming "Oh my god sensei are you ok!?"
Kakashi quickly grabbed Sakura taking the kunai out of his leg and held it to her throat facing the boys, "Two choices, come at me and I kill her or stay there and surrender."
"Tsk whatever" Sasuke said before trying to charge in before Naruto caught him and said, "We surrender, because if there's one thing I know is that yes abandoning the mission makes you trash but… abandoning your comrade's makes you less than trash." Naruto said with his ice cold blue eyes staring at Sasuke making the boy feel slightly guilty about his actions.
Before Kakashi could say anything the alarm went off and he released Sakura, "Well it's noon and you guys don't have the bells which means-"
He was cut off by sakura, "Ano, um Kakashi-sensei I actually have them right here" she tossed the other one to Sasuke, "Does that mean me and Sasuke-kun pass while that baka Naruto goes back to the stupid academy?" she said grinning at Naruto while Sasuke smirked.
Kakashi slapped Sakura in the head shocking the girl, "And here I thought you understood what was going on even after Naruto told you what was happening… This is a teamwork exercise you all had to work together to get the bells." He paused looking over at the two boys and said, "I should fail all 3 of you now for your stupidity (Pointing at Sakura and Sasuke) but since you followed the rules and technically beat me you all… pass I guess" Kakashi said as Naruto sighed in relief. "I guess I should treat you three to lunch now but…" and before he could say anything more he was gone using shunshin.
"Figures, well anyways y'all wanna get some food? The Akimichi BBQ is good food." Naruto said to the two hoping to get some food.
"Please like I'd ever eat with you dobe" Sasuke said before walking away.
"Yea how about you go and play some ninja like the little boy you are baka" Sakura said following her love like a little lost puppy.
"Wanna say that to my face bitch" Naruto said leaking out some of his killing intent again. This had two effects on the other two Genin. Sakura started shaking holding herself trying not to cry and wet herself while Sasuke felt weak and hopeless (think of when Zabuza did this). He thought about taking a kunai out to kill his own self. And then it was gone. "Wow Sasuke I didn't think you were so weak that just a little bit of killing intent would scare you so much… baby" Naruto said sneering while Sasuke got angry and charged the boy.
Sasuke did all he could but for some reason couldn't touch the enigma in front of him. This just resulted in Sasuke getting angrier. The boy wasn't really rational so he tried to fire off jutsu at Naruto but before he could finish the hand signs Naruto was in front of him holding his wrist and started to laugh, "So is this all the famous Uchiha can offer? How pathetic if you can't beat me how do you expect to even though Kakashi or even your brother at that." Naruto said before head butting Sasuke breaking the boy's nose. Naruto still holding onto the boy let him go and punched him in the face sending Sasuke back to Sakura who was still holding herself in a daze not really paying attention to what was going on… at least until Sasuke crashed into her. Sasuke got up completely enraged at Naruto and was about to attack until he notice the boy gone and a note in his place. "You're too pathetic to fight so I left to go do my own thing, but if you want to get stronger than train harder, look towards your elders for help, see ya later teme" Sasuke just got angrier and crumpled the note up before marching off to go train.
Naruto was laughing as he flew through the trees knowing he hurt the boys pride big. He quickly came to a stop as he landed where he wanted to. "Hey guys is Hinata home yet?" Naruto asked the two Hyuga gate guards.
"No not yet but Hiashi is here feel free to go wait inside with him he shouldn't be too busy" The guard on the right said.
Naruto did just that, as he strolled on past the two he looked around waving at some of the branch members who came to like him, the others just glared him down but he ignored them. When he walked into the main building he noticed that it was empty until he heard some shouts and figured Hiashi was in the dojo with Hanabi. He quietly let himself in and saw the brutal fight that was going on as Hiashi was having the younger girl learn the gentle fist via fighting the man.
The young girl was struggling to stand up when Hiashi dropped his guard and said, "Stand down Hanabi we have a guest here" He then proceeded to look over at the orange-clad boy. "How may I help you Naruto-san?" The Hyuuga hierarchy asked.
"Hey Hiashi-sama I was wondering if Hinata-chan was here?" Naruto asked showing a little respect to get on his good side.
"Yes but she is busy right now please come back at a later time if you wish to take my daughter out somewhere." Hiashi said with a slight grin. "If I try hard enough, maybe I can get them together now, I just have to be careful with how things go around. Naruto needs to make sure he keeps himself in check for the elders too or else nothing will work until his heritage is revealed." Hiashi thought to himself.
"Um ok, thanks anyways Hiashi-sama, see ya later!" Naruto said as he excused himself. Naruto quickly left the compound and took to the rooftops as to avoid people. "Well that was a bust, hmm maybe I can go annoy Sasuke some more" Naruto thought as he took off towards the Uchiha district.
"Remember boy. do not let the damn Uchiha unlock that annoying dojutsu of his. I may just have to eat you and take over your body if he unlocks it." Kurama said in Naruto's head. Naruto snickered at what the beast had to say, it was fun to joke around.
"Yea, yea I know because once he unlocks it he'll become more of a douche than before. I'll try my best to make him better and I'll do all I can to keep him from unlocking it, hell if need be I'll give him an eye transplant with a civilian so he never unlocks them… But I hope it doesn't come to that." Naruto said to his giant buddy
"Oh kami that would be hilarious! The once proud uchiha brat having civilian eyes so he can't unlock his bastard dojutsu." Kurama said with a mighty roar of a laugh.
"Yea it is kind of ironic if you think about it, but anyways I'll talk to you later, I see the temes place." Naruto said ending his connection with his furry friend as he dismounted from the roofs and started to walk towards Sasuke's place.
Naruto could sense Sasuke training and was surprised that Sasuke didn't notice his presence until he was almost within eyeshot of the boy. "What're you doing here dobe?" Sasuke asked still angry about earlier, "You come to see an elite train" Sasuke said with a smirk.
"Kami this idiot still believes he's better than me" Naruto spoke up, "Actually I came here to see if you wanted to hear about a way to get stronger, faster… you did read my note right?" Naruto said catching the boy's interest.
"What do you know about training and getting stronger? You only became a genin on luck alone you have no real skill." Sasuke said taunting Naruto.
"I just whooped your ass and you really want to challenge me again? Fuck it I'll make you a deal though, if I win you listen to me, if you win I'll be your slave forever and quit as a ninja" Naruto said really getting Sasuke's attention now.
"It'll be nice to have a servant again, get ready to have your ass beat dobe." And with that Sasuke charged at Naruto.
Naruto casually dodged each of Sasuke's attacks without even trying. Naruto was so bored he pulled a Kakashi and took out his book and started to read it while standing still blocking each of Sasuke's attacks. "What the hell dobe! Don't think you can play with me I'm an elite dammit take this! Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" Sasuke screamed as he slowly (to Naruto's eyes) formed the hand signs before spitting out a mediocre sized fireball from his mouth.
Naruto, faster than Sasuke could see flew through a couple hand signs and yelled, "Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind style: Great breakthrough)" and with that he spit out an intense level of wind and completely obliterated the fireball before the jutsu kept going and hit Sasuke knocking the boy back into a tree and knocking him out. "Oops" Naruto said as he saw Sasuke lying unconscious, "I better go make sure he's alive I guess" He said as he walked over to check on the younger version of his once good friend and enemy.
It didn't take long for Sasuke to wake up, he saw Naruto standing over him and sighed, "I'm not going to fucking say it" Sasuke said while grinding his teeth staring daggers at the blond boy.
"Whatever, now what I'm gonna tell you to help your training will make you at least 10 times faster and stronger. Seek out a jounin named Maito Gai and tell him that I recommended you to see him for training weights. I'll warn you the training is brutal but if you keep up you'll be a lot stronger" Naruto said as he inwardly smirked at the hell Sasuke will be put through for the next few weeks.
"Anything else you want dobe" Sasuke said still very obviously angry about his loss.
"Yea you need to work on the speed of your hand signs, like honestly it was pitiful as I watched you try to work on your jutsu." Sasuke just got angry when Naruto said this and took off into the woods. "I guess his damn pride will only take so much before he has to go and make himself think he's better than what he actually is."
"You should have toyed with him some more kit" Kurama said as he woke up from his nap. "I mean, it's fun watching you beat his assm but you could have made that last longer, or done more damage after he woke up."
"I was going to but felt lazy today, plus he's no fun to fight at this level. I need to get him stronger anyways so he doesn't really on his sharingan too much whenever he does awaken it." Naruto replied as he started walking toward one of his favorite restaurants in the village.
"Still it must be fun to know that you so greatly overpower him as you are right now. Hell no matter how hard he trains you will now forever be stronger because you know how to do your techniques you just need to grow up and let your body ease into them more, so it shouldn't take you nearly as long to perfect moves like the rasenshuriken. You also now know the benefits of shadow clones so you are already training and learning new wind jutsu." Kurama said making some big points. "Plus the sooner you get stronger the sooner we can open this goddamn cage" He growled out showing his obvious distaste for it.
"Don't worry as soon as I can find a safe way to remove the Shiki Fūjin that's around the 8 trigram pentagon seal without the key I promise we will do it as long as I can do it." Naruto promised to his friend.
"Damn straight you'll take it off I hate having to live here. You might not think so but this realm is so cramped and anytime I try to stretch or get up it shrinks down on me, why do you think during our first battle I stretched out so much and was so slow? My body was hurting and in pain and now I have to relive that" He mumbled sorrowfully.
"That explains why you sleep so much, I'm sorry Kurama" Naruto said to his friend as he approached the ramen stand. "I'll talk to you later" Naruto said cutting off the connection and sitting down. "Good afternoon Teuchi-san" Naruto said getting the chef's attention.
"Naruto, my boy you'll give an old man a heart attack if you sneak up on me like that" He said with a slight chuckle. "So what brings you here son?" He asked the boy making Naruto smile.
"God I've missed this man so much the best part about coming back is seeing you Teuchi-san, thank you for taking care of me before I'll make sure that this time around i be even better to you." Naruto thought to himself before smiling and saying, "I just came here to see you tou-san and get some food of course."
"W-what was that you just called me?!" Teuchi asked shocked the boy would call him such a thing.
"I called you tou-san… I know you're not my real father but you're the closest thing I've ever had.. I'm sorry if I'm intruding, I won't call you that again if you wish." Naruto said to the man as he watched him smile brightly.
"Thank you Naruto,of course you can call me that you have no idea he much that means to me" Teuchi said, "This first bowl is on the house." The man quickly whipped up a miso pork ramen and handed it to the young boy.
Naruto finished his food and as he was walking home, someone ran into him, and purposefully, "Naruto, it's about time we talked to the hokage" Kakashi said as he put his hand on the boys shoulder to show him he was serious.
"This is about me knowing who my parents is right?" Naruto asked as his sensei just nodded his head. Naruto sighed in defeat, "Alright let's go but it's really not all that difficult to figure it out" Naruto said.
The two took to the rooftops and in no time made it to the building where the hokage stayed. Kakashi and Naruto walked in the front door, stopping only momentarily at the front desk, Kakashi made sure that the Kage was free for them to all speak. After confirming, the two walked up the stair way where they knocked on the Kage's door. "Come in" was heard and Kakashi opened the door and he and Naruto walked inside. "Kakashi, Naruto, what can I do for the two of you?" the man asked genuinely surprised at the two stopping by.
"Naruto knows who his parents are" Kakashi said flatly, no hidden meanings, no 'Hi, how are you' just cut and dry straight to the point.
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes looking at the man before turning to the boy, "Is this true Naruto? You believe you know who they are?" Hiurzen asked.
"Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki." Naruto said making the man's eyes go wide before dropping to a sad look.
"How do you know about this? I'm sure Kakashi didn't tell you, and there's no one else in this village who should know save a few unnamed people that may have been close to the man" Hiurzen said.
"Well if you look at my father close enough I pretty much his shadow clone with shorter hair. As for my mom? She was the only person whose last name was Uzuamki and if you ask anyone all she did when she wasn't on duty, was be around or with my father. Kushina though never officially married my dad though how could he, with he being the strongest Kage alive and barley a 2 years into his time in office when I was born. Couple that with the fact that I know the fourth hokage sealed the Kyuubi in me, all it took was a little thinking. How could the Fourth Hokage ask anyone person to give up their child? Hell how could he even find the time to ask, no it makes more sense he would use his own kid in an attempt to do one final good deed. Give me the power to protect myself because he can't be around while hoping everyone would see me as a hero not a villain. It all makes sense and just a little bit of digging while also questioning older people who may have known my mom and dad also while I was henged as one of our own shinobi/citizen." Naruto saud surprising both men. Of course anyone who looked at a picture of Minato and Naruto close enough would see the obvious comparisons but they still hoped for the best.
"I see, I do hope you understand why I couldn't tell you. It was Minato's dying breath for you too not know until you were of age or a jounin. That way you could properly handle finding out and then you could tell everyone. Granted once you found out it would also become public information and the village would also find out. It is also going to stay that way, unless you decide to tell someone about it, just like with the Kyuubi, these are the two S rank secret punishable by death that only you can freely give out." Hiurzen told the boy, hoping he wouldn't do anything rash or crazy.
"Don't worry Hokage-sama, I won't tell anyone" with that the boy popped out of existence proving to be a clone the entire time, surprising both the Kage and the Jounin.
"Watch him carefully Kakashi" the silver haired ninja just nodded before taking his leave.
The next couple of weeks were a blur for Naruto. He stuck to his daily training regiment but he also was with the team a lot doing teamwork exercises and a lot of D rank missions. More than before, it got to the point where he would leave a clone to do the missions while he slept or trained. He was sad to say though that he hasn't been able to see much of Hinata lately, or anyone for that matter. They were all too busy now with being fresh genin.
"Come on jiji give us a better mission we've been doing D ranks for the past 3 weeks! We have finished more D ranks than anyone … EVER." Naruto said getting irritated because he hasn't been able to see Hinata due to missions and being busy all the time while his jiji just nodded in agreement.
Hiruzen sighed for a moment, "He is right.. They have brought the D rank pile down to the bare minimum with all his shadow clones." Hiruzen sighed for a moment before he spoke, "Ok I'll give you guys a C rank here let me look for one." The old man said as he searched through the paperwork.
"If I'm lucky we won't have the wave mission as it was at least another week before we showed up here last time" Naruto thought to himself as he watched his grandparent figure search through the pile of C ranked. After a few minutes the man found one, "Ok this seems simple enough; you will protect a bridge builder by the name of Tanzua from bandits until he has finished building his bridge. This mission is estimated to take between a month and 4 months depending on how long it takes to build the bridge, so pack appropriately." Hiruzen said, "Also I think you should meet the man now as he just submitted the form this morning and is still in the building...and be careful he's drunk." Hiruzen said as a warning, "Tanzua come in" he said as Tanzua came on in.
"Eh this is my team? Three kids and a cyclops" he said with a drunken voice and drinking sake.
"Hey don't talk bad about me and my friends! I'm gonna become the hokage and prove to everyone how strong I am! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto said/yelled like an idiot.
"Eh shut up midget" he said.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!" Naruto screamed as Sasuke, Hiruzen and Kakashi held the boy back.
"Naruto you can't kill the client!" Sasuke yelled.
"I DON'T CARE NO ONE CALLS ME SHORT AND GETS AWAY WITH IT, I'LL FEAST ON HIS MEAT TONIGHT AFTER I KILL HIM!" Naruto screamed before the Kage put him in his place.
Hiruzen slapped Naruto in the head, "Boy, shut up" he said as Naruto held his head.
"Yes sir…" He mumbled out and fell back into place.
"Angry little man isn't he" Tanzua said, before he noticed the room started feeling stuffy as Naruto stared at him. "Well I'll take my leave and I want to be gone tomorrow ya hear" Tanzua said as he walked out.
Naruto calmed down and said, "So you said pack for how long now?"
"4 months at best" Hiruzen said as Naruto smiled and then (to everyone's surprise) used the shunshin, out with no hand signs. "That boy just keeps learning jutsu after jutsu I don't know how you find the time Kakashi.
"Umm.. yea I haven't taught him any yet, every jutsu he knows he learned somewhere else I meant to ask you if you know where he learned them." The man said as he scratched the top of his head.
"That boy is just an enigma" Hiruzen said, "Well anyways you three get out of here I have more missions to hand out" Hiruzen said.
The three left, Sasuke to go pack his bag and tell Gai that he is leaving for a mission, Sakura went to pack and then find said boy again to stalk him. Kakashi though left to find Naruto, because something about the yellow haired boy was off and he wanted to know what it was.
The cyclops ended up finding the boy at his favorite ramen stand, since he was hungry also though he decided to walk in as if it was a mere coincidence that he ran into Naruto. "Hey there Naruto, you getting some last minute ramen before the mission tomorrow?"
"Yea, you can never have enough of this beautiful food!" Naruto proclaimed before digging into his 5th bowl of ramen. Kakashi sweat dropped as the boy said that, "Anyways, what are you doing here Kakashi-sensei?"
"Well I was thinking and got lost on the road of life again until I was hungry and stumbled upon this fine diner." Kakashi said to the boy as he ordered a miso ramen. "So he was following me huh." Naruto thought to himself as he ate his food a bit slower. "So why aren't you at home packing?" Kakashi asked curious as to why the boy was eating instead.
"I have my clones packing what I need into scrolls right now, I figured while they do that I could eat before going and training some more." The boy answered carefully before looking at Ayame, "Hey Ayame nee-san can I get another two more bowls and then a bill please" Naruto said.
"No problem Naruto-kun my pleasure" She said with a smile and then a sway of her hips as she turned around and started to cook the miso pork ramen for the boy.
"Actually put Naruto's food on my bill I'll take care of it" Kakashi said with an eye smile.
"Really kakashi-sensei?!" Naruto asked as the man smiled and naruto then grinned. "Sorry Kakashi but you'll regret this one." The boy thought to himself, "Make that 5 more bowls actually then" he said with a smile.
"Fuck you." The man thought to himself as he watched the young girl cook the food.
"How kind of you, it's rare we see someone stick their necks out for Naruto, it used to be just the third hokage and his sensei Iruka." Ayame explained to Kakashi.
"Well now I'm his sensei and it's my duty to take care of my kids so I guess just this once I can pay for him." He said with an eye smile while really on the inside he was crying because the boy eats like an Akimichi.. Or like his mother, and he's looking at this like a free ticket.
After another twenty minutes of eating and conversing Naruto finally had his fill at 18 bowls of ramen and left quickly left a crying Kakashi who was paying. With a quick double shushin and making 3 clones to go in different directions Naruto went into the forest of death to train, while making a 4th clone to go let Hiashi know that he was going to be gone and to tell Hinata. When Naruto got alone he made a hundred clones and had them split up into four groups. The first group to practice his Fuinjutsu skills, the second to watch as defense for the damn spiders who are territorial, the third to practice his kata's for his taijutsu and finally the last group along with himself to work on another jutsu he heard about called "Futon: Tatsumaki Rendan(Tornado Barrage)." He and his clones right now are trying to get the air particles around him to bend to his chakra, "God I wish I could use my sage mode this would be so much easier" he groaned out loud as he kept trying.
