The scene starts with a shot of Madara's face. He looks quite a bit younger than in the previous scene, but he's still an adult. There is the sound of growling in the background. Then the shot changes to a view of the nine-tails growling at Madara. Then Madara starts speaking.

'Is this about what I think it's about?' Iruka starts. The nine-tails. He never expected to see it again.

'It might be.'

'Kyuubi. This transient form is nothing more than a nodule. You're only a piece of yourself.' The nine-tails isn't happy what he's being told.

'Kurama… might that be the name of the nine-tails?' Tsume suggests. It would be strange for the creature not to have a name. She names all her dogs.

'I didn't think he would have a name.' Hiashi says. People have just been calling the creature Kyuubi for centuries.

'He does not like you saying that.' Naruto says. He can feel the fox stirring in his stomach, it's slightly uncomfortable.

'Should we be concerned about that?' Iruka asks. He doesn't want to deal with the fox any time soon.

'Who knows.' Kakashi shrugs.

'Shut up.' He's still growling at Madara.

'You are just an ignorant unstable power.' Madara continues speaking like he hasn't heard the fox.

'Shut up!' The fox snarls at the man.

'Madara is a bit of an ass.' Sakura says. The man is good looking, but his personality is certainly not worth it.

'I'm pretty sure that's the standard.' Sasuke says. He remembers the various other Uchiha he knows, many of which are kind of an ass.

Madara still doesn't react to his words. 'Those who shall guide you are the Uchiha. You tailed beasts are simply servants of those with visual jutsu.'

'Does that mean I can go and control it?' Shisui asks. It would be cool to command such a creature. 'Why didn't we do that, that night?'

'I don't think it's that simple. Not only that I don't think the fox likes it.' Mikoto answers. From Kushina she heard that the fox likes complaining about Uchihas. It was certainly an interesting conversation.

'Shut the hell up!'

Madara looks at the fox and makes a sign with his hands. 'Obey.' Is the only thing he says before the screen turns white.

'He's mean.' Naruto says. He wouldn't like the man either if he did that to him.

'Which one?' Shino asks.

'Both.'

Then another man appears. It's Hashirama, bloodied and battered from a previous fight. He too starts speaking to the fox. 'Your power is too great. Regrettably, I cannot let you run loose.' He says before the screen turns white again.

'He looks really beat up.' Sasuke says. He's never seen anyone that bloody, not even his brother and he would go on super dangerous missions.

'It must be after he killed Madara.' Fugaku says. It was the only time he and the fox would've been in contact.

Then the Kyuubi's face appears, more vibrant than the scenes before. No matter what words they use. He starts but he's interrupted by the face of a woman with red hair tied into two buns on the top of her head.

'Who's that?' Naruto asks. 'Her hair looks like Tenten's.' At the mention of her name Tenten puts her hands on her buns. They do have a similar style.

'They only have a similar hairstyle.' Neji says.

'That's Uzumaki Mito. The wife of the first Hokage.' The Hokage explains. At the name Uzumaki, Naruto perks up.

'Is she related to me?' he asks. But he doesn't get an answer.

'When you exert your power, you draw hatred to you. Please stay quiet inside me.' She looks down conflicting with the words she just spoke. The screen turns to the fox's face once more.

Humans all say…His voice is full of hatred towards the people that just appeared. Wrinkles are all over his face.

'He really doesn't like being locked up.' Shisui mutters. He never thought about how the Kyuubi felt in these situations. No wonder it caused all that destruction years ago. He would too if he was in his situation.

'It's strange to see his point of view.' Iruka agrees. 'I've grown this hatred for him because he killed my parents, but he has feelings to. If he's been locked up for years, I wouldn't be happy if I was in that situation.'

'I can get what you're saying.' Itachi says. Being locked up for more than half a century is not fun for anyone. Especially if they haven't really done anything wrong in the first place.

Another woman with red hair appears on the screen. 'This is unfortunate for the both of us. You may be here to keep the world in check, but I'm here to watch you.' Her words are direct. She looks straight at him, daring him to challenge her words.

'Who's this?' Naruto asks. Only the adults know everyone.

'Uzumaki Kushina. The previous owner of the Nine-tails.' The Hokage answers.

'What happened?' Lee asks. It might have been something horrible.

'Somehow six years ago it managed to escape, killing her in the process.' He explains further.

'How?'

'We might never know.'

'Is she related to me?' Naruto asks. Once again. He needs to know if he's got any family left.

The same thing.The fox is raging. The anger is obvious on his face. Then the shot changes to the view of a baby Naruto. And now, it's this brat. How dare these Shinobi. I'll bet even he…

'He's always been locked up in people with the Uzumaki name.' Shikamaru points out.

'Are they related to me? Answer the question!' Naruto asks for the last time. He's tired of people ignoring this very important question.

'They are.' Kakashi says but doesn't elaborate any further. He's not allowed to.

'And.'

'No comment.'

Then Naruto appears in all his teenage glory. 'You know, Kyuubi, someday I'll be coming after all that hatred inside you too.' He smiles, brightly. It's clear that the Kyuubi is contemplating something as the next shot appears of him laying down, watching but not saying anything. It's like he's holding onto the hatred inside him because it's the only thing he knows. Then the scene ends.

'He doesn't know what to think of Naruto.' Tenten laughs. To be honest she doesn't really know what to feel about the boy either. He's just so strange.

'Naruto is kind to everyone.' Hinata agrees.

'That was enlightening.' Shikaku mutters. It's nothing much on the future part, again, but it did offer some particular insights.

'Certainly not what I expected, going into this.' Mikoto agrees. She had been expecting warnings and the sort, not flashbacks of the Kyuubi.

'Kurama, huh.' Shisui thinks. 'Hates everyone, except maybe Naruto.'

'Can anyone truly hate Naruto?' Itachi responds. The blond is always so bright and cheerful, it's difficult to hate someone like that.

'Who knows. Maybe there is someone.'

It's silent for a minute before Inoichi starts speaking again. 'What's up next.'

The screen turns on once again and on it appears the title. 'Trolling is fun.'

'What does 'trolling' mean?' Fugaku asks. The other adults are not quite sure either.

'I heard it's some slang young people use.' Tsume says, she heard Hana say it a couple times here and there.

'It means fooling with someone.' Itachi explains.

'Interesting.'

'Those who choose not to accept should raise their hands. Once their number has been confirmed they will leave the room.' Ibiki tell the students in the room. The camera flashes to the occupants of the room. Naruto and his classmates are there, as are Lee, Neji, and Tenten. Not only that but the Sand ninja from before are there as well.

'Chunin exams again?' Neji says. He's seen himself there and he's the same age as in the scene with Lee.

'Probably.'

'Ibiki is the proctor. I wonder what he came up with.' Kakashi says. He's an old classmate of the man and knows he likes getting under people's skin. Definitely not someone you want as an exam proctor when you're taking the exams.

'Knowing him. It's something a bit threatening.' Iruka agrees.

The camera then turns to Naruto. What kind of stupid question could it be? Naruto is sweating. If I get it wrong I'll be a genin for life, not acceptable. But if I just reject the question, Sasuke and Sakura both have to suffer for my lack of guts.

'Here we have our explanation.' Kakashi says. It's a clever one, but he doubts it's truly original.

'Don't be so nervous Naruto.' Sasuke laughs at the other.

'Sorry. I can't help it. I'm terrible at quizzes.'

'I know.' He's seen some of Naruto's scores, they're usually zero.

Then the screen flashes to Sakura. She too is deep in thought. I don't intend to raise my hand. I'm sure I can answer the question, whatever it may be! But even if Naruto decides to play is safe and reject the question and we fail, all I'll lose is time. I won't have failed forever. She looks at the boy in question. But Naruto you're different. It'd be foolish to sacrifice yourself forever. For our sakes reject the question.

'Never.' Naruto says stubbornly. The rest of the class smiles.

Then a hand is raised. 'I quit, I'm rejecting the question!' A boy that nobody knows yells. He has a beard. 'Team, I'm so sorry.' The boy and his teammates have to leave the room. Naruto looks at the person next to him but doesn't do anything.

Then another man joins in. 'Me too!' and various others join in. Naruto is shaking.

'Don't be tempted.' Shino says. Naruto nods.

'Please me. Don't do it.'

Sakura looks at Naruto, she can clearly see that he's nervous. Why don't you raise your hand? She thinks back to all the times that Naruto has proclaimed himself the next Hokage. How proud he was of finally being a ninja. She raises her hand slowly for him, but she doesn't need to as another hand is raised.

'No!' Naruto screams out as he sees who's hand it is.

Naruto's hand is in the air. Sasuke, Hinata, and Sakura watch in astonishment. Did he just give them up? Then he slams his hand down on the desk in front of him. 'Never underestimate me!' He yells in the room. 'I don't quit, and I won't run!' The rest of the class watches. 'I'll accept your stupid question! Even if I risk ending up a genin for the rest of my life. I'll still become the Hokage even if I can only make it by pure stubbornness. I don't care! I'm not afraid of you!' Hinata watches her crush with proudness on her face.

'This is the most Naruto to thing ever.' Sakura laughs. Of course he would do something like that.

'It's great.' The Hokage agrees with her.

Sasuke is sweating. That idiot. He never even gave us a thought. But he certainly does have guts. Even Sakura is proud of him. Good thing. Because an idiot like him needs them.

'Sasuke's face. He looks so done with Naruto.' Shisui laughs. Sasuke shoots him a glare, his face is perfectly handsome, no matter the expression.

'I'll ask you one last time. This is a decision that could affect the rest of your life. Quit now whilst you still have the chance.' Ibiki's face hasn't changed, it's as if Naruto's words don't affect him.

'I never go back on my word. That's my ninja way!' The rest of the group watches Naruto. They all agree with him.

'I wonder what happens if he promises something ridiculous while drunk.' Shisui says. Naruto is not quite amused by the response.

'I'm a kid!'

Ibiki looks over the room. Seventy-eight of them are still here. An entertaining kid. Ad interesting, he dispelled everyone else's doubts along with his own. More than I expected but… there's no point in dragging this out thanks to him no one else will quit.

'Interesting power.' Shikamaru mutters. He's always known Naruto can attract people like moths to a flame but to see something like this is impressive.

'I wonder if we'll get to see that more often. I doubt this is the only time Naruto does this.' Ino agrees.

He composes himself for the last time. 'Good call. So, everyone who's still here,' he pauses so the rest of the room can shiver in anticipation, 'You've just passed the first exam!'

'And here it is.' Shisui laughs. Ibiki must have had a great time doing this.

'Great idea for the first exam.' Kakashi agrees.

'He certainly is creative.' Tsume says.

'Huh!' Naruto is shocked.

'What do you mean passed?' Sakura asks. 'When did that happen? What about the tenth question?'

'There is no tenth question beyond the whole accept or reject thing.' Ibiki laughs. This is the best part, all their shocked faces.

'Is this a fetish of his or something.' Naruto watches. Does this mean the man likes pranking as well? Maybe he can get him to help out sometimes.

'You know what, that might very well be true.' Shisui laughs.

'Let's not talk about Ibiki's fetishes.' Itachi hits his friend on the head.

'Not much on the future progression part here either.' Shikaku would rather watch something that could actually help them in the long run.

'I enjoyed it.' Mikoto says. It's always great to see people messing around without worrying about some things.

'I wonder what I would've done if that was the question on my chunin test.' Itachi says. The rest of the room just looks at him.

'Knowing you, you would get everything right without even trying.'

'Next up.' Sasuke yells.

The screen lights up, displaying the words: 'Words of encouragement'

'This better be something precious.' Ino says. She could use some shipping material.

'I hope it's important to the future.' Shikamaru says. 'This has all been rather entertaining, but I would like to get some answers soon.'

'Can't disagree there.'

Naruto is seen walking around a training ground. He has a backpack on his back and seems to have a destination in mind. On the training ground he encounters a girl.

'Hey Hinata, you're all better now?' Naruto asks. Hinata is shocked. She did not hear him coming, not only that it's her crush Naruto. She blushes and quickly hides herself behind one of the logs there.

'Someone has a crush.' Ino squeals. It's not her OTP but this works just fine. It's cute, that's all that matters.

'Really?' Naruto blinks. He doesn't really think he has a crush on anyone. The rest just laughs at his obliviousness.

'N-Naruto! Wh-what are you doing here? Aren't the finals today?' her voice is soft, like her personality.

'I just felt like coming here, that's all. This is where I became a genin.' He explains.

'Is that important?' Sasuke asks.

'Not really.' Kakashi shrugs off. They must have had the bell test, and passed.

'O-oh wow but why?'

'No particular reason. Why does it matter anyway?' Naruto is a bit weirded out by her behavior. She always acts like that around him. It's weird.

'Naruto is so oblivious, it's funny.' Kiba laughs. This is hilarious, he could use it as blackmail.

'Oblivious to what?' Naruto looks around, he doesn't get it.

'I always knew you were horrible at anything to do with love but to this extend?' Shikamaru mumbles. One day Naruto would see what Hinata thinks of him. Hinata meanwhile only blushes. Naruto is so cute when he acts all oblivious like that.

'You're r-right. I'm sorry.' Hinata hides herself even more.

Naruto sighs. 'Neji's your cousin, right?'

'What does Neji have to do with anything?' Tenten asks. He really came out of nowhere.

'Judging by the context it might be Naruto's opponent in the finals.' Shikamaru explains. It would be a tough match for Naruto, knowing his fighting style.

'Scary.'

'Yeah.' Hinata nods.

'He really is strong, isn't he?' Naruto is nervous for the upcoming match. Hinata nods. Naruto grumbles, this is not what he wants.

'Naruto is nervous.' Sasuke laughs. Naruto shoots him a glare. Sasuke would get nervous too if he had to face someone like Neji.

'B-but I really think, of all people, you have a chance to win against him, Naruto!' She's encouraging. 'Cause…'

'Sure. Cause I'm strong too!' Naruto shrugs of what Hinata was about to say. He laughs and then the conversation turns awkward.

'Put two socially awkward people together and the conversation would soon turn awkward.' Tsume laughs. This is amazing to watch. She could totally tease Hiashi with this information.

'What a surprise.'

'Y-you know, I… when you cheered me on, Naruto, I felt like somehow I became stronger than before and when the prelims were over, I started to like myself just a little bit more.' Hinata smiles. 'From the outside, I might not seem any different, but I feel like I've changed.' If she could she would blush even harder. 'It's all because of you, at least that's what I think.'

'Thanks, Hinata.' Naruto shoots the girl a smile. Hinata blushes even harder.

'N-No problem.' She stutters out. Her father Hiashi fumes in the background. This better not get any farther.

'Because of me? I guess I'm an awesome influence. Heh.' Naruto laughs. He's never had someone thank him like this before. 'Hey Hinata, is that really how you feel?'

'Huh?'

'I might seem really strong, but I'm usually just trying to act tough, because I'm embarrassed about how I screw up all the time.' Naruto looks down. He's never admitted it before.

'This is getting really personal here.' Naruto mutters. He doesn't like it when people see him like that.

'Don't worry. We're all embarrassed about something.' Iruka says. He's got plenty of embarrassing things he does as well. Like putting the release dates of new books on his calendar, they're one of the few things he can look up to.

'Like Sasuke about that one time with the pamphlets.' Itachi says.

'Nii-san shut up!' Sasuke is red in the face. It must have been something really embarrassing for him to act like that.

'That's not true. And even if you do mess up, if you ask me, you're a proud failure.' Naruto looks on in shock. 'You're really inspiring to watch because you're not perfect and because you make mistakes, but you still have the guts to get back up and keep fighting. That's what I consider true strength. I-I believe you're an incredibly strong person, Naruto.'

'I ship it.' Ino says. While Sasuke and Naruto would be amazing together, Hinata and Naruto would be one of the cutest things on the planet.

'What?' Naruto looks at the other. She's crazy.

'They're cute together. I'm willing to bet they end up together.' She tells the people in the room, quite a couple agree with her.

'How much?' Jiraiya has already taken out his wallet.

'No gambling in the room please.' The Hokage tells his student. He should learn.

'Hinata would not marry someone like that.' Hiashi firmly states. The rest just laugh at him.

'Sure, sure.' Tsume slaps him on the back forcefully enough for him to lean forward quite a bit.

'Thank Hinata!' Naruto smiles, a true one from the heart. 'You know, funnily enough, I was actually feeling a little depressed earlier but now suddenly I'm feeling a lot better!' Naruto cheers. 'You know what I thought about you?'

'Huh?' Hinata was not expecting that.

'Naruto is going to say something ridiculous.' Sasuke can already feel it.

'I thought you were sort of a weirdo dark, plain, and timid.' Hinata slumps. 'But actually, I think I kind of like folks like you!' Hinata is shocked. This is the closest she's ever been to Naruto. Then the scene ends.

'Well if this wasn't adorable.' Shisui laughs. Sometimes he wishes he had someone like that around him, but then he remembers the fangirl curse and those thoughts quickly leave his head.

'With some truly inspiring words.' The Hokage agrees. Young love, it's so sweet.

'But nothing on the future.' Shikaku complains once again.

'Naruto battles Neji. Does that count?' Itachi asks.

'No.'

'So, what's up next?'

Everyone stares intently at the screen, they have to wait before it gives them the next title. 'The cat says meow' the screen reads.

'Cat?' Naruto blinks. Where does the cat come from? Could it be that weird cat with the bow he always sees walking around?

'Are they going to go to granny?' Sasuke asks his brother. It's a valid point.

'I doubt it.'

Iruka thinks for a bit. 'One of the bijuu is cat, if I remember correctly.'

'Who knows what it's about.'

Thank you to everyone that suggested a scene. It might take a while for them to enter the story, I got the first ten chapters planned out already and still have a massive list left over. But don't stop suggesting scenes. Sometimes one is just too good not to put in sooner.

Also special thanks to Reakor who suggested chunin exams in general and the Ibiki scene in specific, and Yoru who requested the Hinata scene.

Sorry if this chapter is a bit short. I got a bit burned out after last chapter so I wanted something a bit shorter. Next chapter will be a bit longer.
