AnisoulJ93: Well first off the reason I made Hiashi Minato's teammate was precisely because it's usually on the good Hiashi route. I wouldn't call this the bad Hiashi route, more like the Hyuga Hiashi route. And Hiashi is still a lie detector, but Naruto was not lying, Hiashi just did not believe Naruto.
Bent Shuriken:No that is not the water jutsu the edo Mizukage and Suigetsu used, I do admit it would be cool if Naruto could do that jutsu though.
Too many people commented on this and I'm to lazy to put all of your names:I agree that Hiashi is more militaristic/clan leader centralized. I may have made him look a little like, 'Oh you have power and like my daughter, kinda, I will use her to get to you' type of stuff but it was just the first, and to me most logical as the Hyuga elders will play an important role in the NaruHina side of things, and how Hiashi *spoiler spoiler spoiler* and stuff. Hehehee. But, I do admit he was a tad more of a, I don't know the right word, the type of person that uses people to get what they want? Yeah that seems right.
I Do not Own Naruto. Yet.
Also I would like to thank all of you loyal fans, as we hit 103 followers in only the first 4/5 chapters, so I do deeply thank all of you and will attempt to keep up the good quality work.
Time Flies! A Companionship Begins after Years of Contempt! Graduation!
Naruto groaned as he laid his head down on his table. Iruka was giving another lecture, and to the same person. When would he realize that none of the boys in the class ever truly listened to his lectures, only the girls did? After all they had to look good for their Sasuke-kun, however Naruto still thought of him as more of a teme than anything else.
Naruto frowned as Iruka started to scan over the class to see if any of them were paying any attention. He sat upright as he passed his area, as he did not want to get in trouble. Once Iruka stopped looking his way he laid his head down on the table again and began to nod off.
"Naruto-kun, y-y-you should r-r-really pay a-a-attention," he heard a gentle and soft voice whisper.
Naruto smiled at Hinata. "Sorry Hina-chan. It's just that this is so boring. We're getting the Genin Exams tomorrow, and reviewing basic stuff like this is so dull."
Hinata looked the same as she did earlier in life; she even wore the same clothes only they were a larger size, with only her hair being slightly longer. However, things had changed about her. The major change was that she was no longer exceedingly timid. While she did not voice her opinion all that much, and was still very reluctant to go against anyone, her stuttering had happened less and less in her sentences and she seemed more confident, even if only slightly, in herself.
Naruto meanwhile had changed a lot. He wore a sleeveless dark orange shirt with dark orange bandages going up the entirety of his right arm. On those bandages was the blue Konoha leaf symbol, which was directly on his shoulder. He sported black, baggy pants that reached his black shinobi sandals. There was a black belt holding up the pants which had a weapon holster attached to it. Lastly, he wore a short two-tailed dark orange scarf around his neck, with mesh armor underneath his entire outfit.
However Naruto had not just changed in terms of clothing. No his personality had changed also, as well as his skill. While he still tended to act rather brash, hyperactive, and sensitive, he also had his moments of genius, and silence. He also had gone leaps and bounds in his skill. When he first started his training with Anko and Kakashi he was low genin level, if that, but now he was high genin-level, or in a rival sense of things Sasuke's level.
"Naruto-kun I-I-if y-y-you want to be H-H-Hokage you have to pay a-a-attention in class. Hokage's have t-t-to manage t-t-the A-Academy after a-a-all." Hinata whispered.
"I know Hina-chan. I can't forget. You keep reminding me," Naruto said as he pouted at her. Hinata just smiled faintly and started paying attention in class again.
Naruto instead decided to scout out all of his possible teammates that would be useful. Of course there was Hinata, Chouji, and Shikamaru but he knew he would not get them. Call it a gut instinct but he doubted they would be on his team, no matter how much he truly wanted them to be. There was Shino, who was actually someone Naruto found rather creepy. He was exceedingly silent, even quieter than Sasuke and Shikamaru combined, and that was saying something.
Shino was fair-skinned and actually the tallest out of everyone in the class. He had dark, bushy, brown hair and dark, narrow eyes. He wore a sea-green jacket with a high, upturned collar with dark sunglasses. He wore brown pants that stopped just above his ankles leading to his standard blue shinobi sandals.
Then there was Sakura and Ino. Naruto only wanted Sakura, as he still had a crush on her, although something about that crush was changing. She was being even crueler to him, and her rebuttals usually involved lots of physical punishment instead of just the usual punch on the head. People had told him to give up on her, and that she was not even girlfriend material but he refused to do so.
There was Kiba, who had, like Hinata, only increased his size and still wore the same style of clothing. Lastly, there was, begrudgingly, Sasuke. While Naruto would not deny that Sasuke was a skilled rival he also could not deny, nor would he attempt to, that Sasuke was a complete asshole. He did not listen to what anyone said, and more often than not ridiculed you for opposing him. If anything he had become even more of jerk than he was last year. Apparently their 50-50 record had not humbled him in the slightest.
Iruka frowned at the class. None of them were truly paying attention, save Sakura and Hinata. They were too excited about tomorrow, when the Genin Exams took place. He knew this would happen, and honestly he could not get angry at them. He had done the same thing after all.
With that Iruka just let class end early today, after all, no point in teaching them, plus they got out early today anyways so it truly did not matter. The other classes would be getting out soon too. As the class walked out he saw Naruto and Sasuke glaring at each other, and they were surrounded by girls. While he could tell the majority were fangirls he also saw Hinata in there next to Naruto trying to defuse the upcoming fight. With that in sight Iruka walked up to the brewing fight.
"Is there a problem here," he asked in a stern voice.
Sasuke replied with his usual, "Hn," but Naruto actually answered. "Yes, this teme thinks that he can beat me in a fight, and just asked me to a full on fight, to bad he doesn't know he's gonna lose and I'm gonna make my wins one higher."
Sakura screeched out a, "NO WAY NARUTO-BAKA!" and was soon chorused by the rest of Sasuke's fangirls.
Iruka was just about to speak when he saw a grin come to Naruto's face, the prankster grin. It was well known around Konoha that Naruto was a prankster in heart and soul and loved pranking people. He once had a competition with Anko about who could prank the most people…needless to say it was a close competition, but it was also needless to say Naruto won. Luckily the Hyuga's did now know who sold their underclothes out to the public with their names on it, or else Naruto would have been six feet under.
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry for insulting the great Sasuke Sakura-chan. You know he said that he wants to go on a date with you sometime."
With that Naruto grabbed Hinata and ran as Sakura blushed madly and gave Sasuke a massive hug.
"Really Sasuke-kun, oh I've been waiting for this. I have everything set up…" her speech was cut off by the rest of the fangirls realizing what was said and starting to fight over Sasuke, who was thinking one thing. 'SCREW FUCKING ITACHI! NARUTO YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD! DEAD!'
XxX
Naruto sighed as he walked down the village. It was night and he had had a boring day. Nothing truly interesting had happened, except for his prank on Sasuke. He would regret that soon. However, the day was still boring even considering that. His training with Hinata went great, as per usual, and she managed to shut down a couple of his tenketsu. Things would be interesting tomorrow, and that was more than likely killing his good vibe.
With that he continued to walk around the village before coming upon something he was not expecting. It was Sasuke. The ever brooding Uchiha was walking down the streets with that same superior look he usually had. However, only a person like Sasuke, who had lost something they cared about deeply, or Naruto, someone who had faced the harsh realities of life, would ever see the sadness that deep in Sasuke's eyes. It was very well hidden, so much that Naruto doubted that even Iruka had noticed Sasuke's sadness. He was willing to bet that very few had, and those few, if he knew their names which he thought he did, he could count on one hand.
"Teme, you look down. Some fangirls rape you today?"
Sasuke looked up and saw Naruto standing in front of him, his prankster smile on his face. Sasuke growled.
"They might have if I didn't know Kawarimi (Body Replacement Technique). As for you, you SET THEM ON ME!"
Sasuke drew a pair of kunai and growled however Naruto's grin only widened.
"I'm afraid you're so called 'cool' persona did that. But you know if you want me to get them I can, I'm pretty sure Ino's house is right-"
Naruto was cut off as Sasuke tried to jam a kunai into his foot, not a lethal blow, just enough to make Naruto stop talking.
"I swear to Kami if you do that I will shove your face so far up your ass you'll be shitting from your mouth for years."
"Oh, big bad Sasuke thinks he's so scary," Naruto instigated.
Sasuke growled and threw his kunai which Naruto blocked by throwing a shuriken at it. The two charged each other both with a fist raised. Sasuke let his fly towards Naruto's head, however Naruto's punch was a fake and he caught Sasuke's fist and sent a front kick towards Sasuke's groin. Sasuke looked shocked for a moment before he jumped in the air, avoiding the kick as Naruto stopped it so he did not hyperextend his knee, and slammed his feet down on Naruto's foot, making the blonde haired shinobi-to-be lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Sasuke tried to punch Naruto's head; however the blonde turned his head to the side before he slipped his legs under Sasuke's armpits and pushed, sending the Uchiha flying off of him. Sasuke landed a good distance away, but as soon as he landed Naruto was already charging. Naruto's legs tensed before he jumped in the air and attempted a flying side kick, however Sasuke rolled away just in time before going through handsigns.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)."
A massive fireball sprang from Sasuke's mouth towards Naruto, heating up the area. Naruto frowned.
'Yeah, that's not good.' Naruto thought as he flew through handseals.
"Suiton: Teppōdama (Water Release: Gunshot)."
Naruto opened his mouth and out sprang a liquid bullet that slammed into Sasuke's fireball, extinguishing it and causing a cloak of steam to descend over the area. Sasuke tensed and kept his eyes wandering, never keeping them in one place to long, in a mad search to find Naruto, however Sasuke did not look behind him, and Naruto was behind him.
"Peek-a-boo ASSHOLE!"
Naruto slammed his foot into Sasuke's back causing him to fall, however Sasuke turned on his fall and grabbed Naruto's foot, slamming into the ground next to him. As the cloak of steam arose the two arose before landing a punch square in the others faces sending both of them stumbling backwards.

The Anbu had already been sent to see who was sending out such high chakra signatures at such a late time and were surprised when they came upon two boys who were not even genin. It was rather interesting to see genin shoot off jutsu that they should not be capable of doing yet.
"My money is on the Uchiha. Anybody wanna go against me?" one Anbu member asked.
"I do," the said a man.
The Anko member turned at a near invisible speed, lashing out at the man with a kunai, however his attack was halted when his wrist was grabbed, by none other than Kakashi.
"Woah there Fox, calm down," Kakashi said in his usual bored tone.
Fox, the Anbu member, growled at Kakashi. "Don't sneak up on me senpai, it's annoying."
Kakashi eye smiled. "Right. But just so you know Naruto is going to win this."
"Doubt it."
XxX
As soon as Kakashi said that Naruto decided it was time to let lose.
"Sorry bout this Sasuke, but I'm gonna hit you with everything I've got! Fuuton: Kūki no Uzu (Wind Release: Air Vortex)."
Naruto slammed his hands on his stomach and from his mouth came a giant spiraling ball of air. It was launched towards Sasuke, and grew in size as it came towards him. Sasuke frowned when he got a good look at it. It was now larger than he was, and he doubted he had a strong enough Katon jutsu to beat it, or strong enough to absorb it, so he did the one thing that came to his mind that would not end in him getting destroyed, he used Kawarimi (Body Replacement Technique. As the log that he replaced himself with was torn to shreds Sasuke appeared behind Naruto, a kunai in hand. He lunged in attempt to stab Naruto, however instead he hit a log and was slammed into a nearby fence.
"Looks like you lose," Naruto said, smiling.
Sasuke growled. "I would never lose to a dobe like you!"
"But you just did Sasuke," Naruto said, a sweatdrop falling from his head.
"NO, I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU!"
"If you keep shouting you will wake up the people in the houses meaning that everyone will know you lost to me."
Sasuke was quiet after that.
"You know Sasuke I don't get you," Naruto began as he let go off him. "You have everything you could ever want in this village, a nice house, money, girls throwing themselves at you, everyone basically worshipping you, yet you always refuse them. I could understand it if you accepted them all and acted like a stuck up asshole, which you do act like by the way, but you always refuse everyone, why?"
Sasuke growled. "None of your business."
"YOU BEST DAMN BELIEVE IT'S MY BUSINESS! If we're on the same team I won't be able to cooperate with you as you always want to do things by yourself. I understand that at certain times you need to do things by yourself, but unless you explain it to me I can't really help you now can I!?"
Sasuke had a shocked, yet still defiant, expression on his face. He had not expected someone to care about him so much, unless of course they were his fangirls, but he knew for a fact Naruto was not one of them. It was strange, yet comforting. However, he had no right to try and force it out of him. Who did he think he was? He had never lost his entire clan before and be forced to relive that over and over, forced to by none other than your own brother. Who did he think he was?
"You have no right to order me around!" Sasuke roared, however Naruto grabbed Sasuke's shirt and lifted him into the air, but his hands fell to his sides when Sasuke slammed both of his arms on them. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!"
"Then explain it to me! We've always been enemies, but you know something Sasuke I've always wanted to be FRIENDS with you! Ever since that day I saw you sitting alone on that pier I realized you were like me, you were alone and sad! I wanted to help you! Yet you always rebuked me, and told me I was incapable of doing anything, just let me help you damn it!"
XxX
"Hey Kakashi are they homosexual? Well the Naruto kid anyway, he sure as hell acts like it. There is nothing wrong with it, I support gay marriage, but still," an Anbu whispered. However, Kakashi smacked him on the back of the head.
"I know for a fact that Naruto is not homosexual, as when I taught him Sex-Ed he blushed bright crimson and could never look at Anko the same way, oh and he wanted to beat me to the ground."
The Anbu just frowned, although you could not see it under his mask, and looked on.
"Doesn't seem like it sensei, just saying," he mumbled, however Kakashi smacked him again.
XxX
"Why should I even bother being friends with you!? You're weak," Sasuke hollered.
"So a weak person just beat you then huh. What does that say about you?" Naruto teased, he couldn't resist it.
Sasuke growled and slammed his fist in his palm. "You wanna go again dobe?"
"As long as you don't mind losing again," Naruto hissed.
Sasuke was about to punch Naruto until his hand shot out, for a handshake. "But as friends this time okay?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto's hand before looking back up at Naruto. Did this guy really want to be friends with him? A person who had looked down on him his entire life? Sasuke barely knew Naruto, other than the fact he was in his class and a good rival, not that he would ever admit it.
Sasuke looked back at Naruto's hand. He had been rather bored lately, after all, all he did was train, and while that had its perks he still did miss companionship, after all his only friends were in the clan, and they were all dead. Plus, from his point of view, Itachi had killed his family for three reasons. One, to test his power, two, he always hated the family, and three to make Sasuke live out a life of loneliness. Therefore, why should Sasuke play by Itachi's rules? Itachi would not play by his. He would also have more allies to take down Itachi when the time was necessary, and by that he meant deal with the grunts. Sasuke shook hands with Naruto. He would no longer live in Itachi's shadow.
"Fine."
And with that, their second fight began anew.
XxX
Naruto groaned as he awoke from his very long nap. He had gone to the Academy early, as he was to excited to wait and fell asleep while he was there. As he awoke he saw Hinata sitting next to him, as well as Sasuke sitting to his side, glaring at all of the fangirls that were swarming the desk.
"I thought you wouldn't want to let everyone know we're friend's teme," Naruto said.
"It was the only seat that didn't have another one open next to it, dobe" Sasuke responded.
"Sure," Naruto said, however the dreaded fangirls had heard Naruto's earlier comment and processed it by now.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN FRIENDS NARUTO-BAKA?!"
Sasuke smirked. "Good luck, dobe."
"What do you-OH MY GOD!"
Sasuke's fangirls had literally dragged Naruto away by the hair to berate him with questions about how he became friends with their Sasuke-kun and how they could, also including the common insult on how he could never become friends with someone of Sasuke's status. They began to ignore everything he said afterwards; not believing a loser and orphan could ever become friends with someone as prestigious as on Uchiha. They did not know they were giving up on free advice, as Naruto would have been more than happy to tell them, if only to make Sasuke's life horrid.
Naruto walked back over to his seat only to see the fangirls fighting over it, with Sasuke and Hinata looking absolutely annoyed at the entire thing, although Hinata tried to conceal hers. Naruto sighed and easily got away from the girls and sat in his seat, however they noticed this and glared at him.
"What are you doing Naruto-baka," they began to hiss, however the loudest ones were Sakura and Ino.
"I'm sitting in my seat," Naruto mumbled tiredly.
"AND WHO SAYS YOU GET TO SIT NEXT TO SASUKE!" Sakura screeched, making all of the boys hold their ears. Sakura cocked her fist back and threw a punch at Naruto however he just caught the fist and glared at Sakura.
"I'm not going to let you beat me up anymore Sakura-chan."
After all, just because he liked her didn't mean he had to let her abuse him.
Hinata grabbed Naruto's arm and shook her head slightly, signaling him to stop. He lowered his hand and opened up his fuinjutsu book, however he was not oblivious to the entire class' silence. He was surprising them that much he knew. Ever since last year he had just been full of surprises, and apparently stopping Sakura had been a surprise. It left a lasting impression on them, mainly along the lines of, 'If the dobe can do this what other surprises has he been holding out on?' However the only other surprise Naruto had for them was passing this test.
It was at that moment that Iruka walked in, ironically.
"Everyone sit down," he said in his usual stern voice. The fangirls gave one more scathing glare at Naruto before finding a seat, obviously as close as they could get to Sasuke.
With that done Iruka looked at the nearby Mizuki who nodded. Iruka nodded back and waved his hand upwards. The entire class stood and walked out the door to the training grounds.
"Okay, first off it's the kunai and shuriken throwing part of the exam. You will have five of each in your hand and must hit your targets, scoring at least a six or above to pass this part of the exam."
As everyone went Naruto became even more disappointed in the fangirls performance, and, while he hated to admit it, Sakura's performance. Every girl, save Hinata, got a four or lower, and Naruto was pretty sure the fours were just luck. Hinata scored an eight, completely blowing all of them out of the water, especially considering the fact that Hyuga's were usually taijutsu orientated fighters and did not fight at long range. It was then the boys turn. This was much better as Shino scored nine, Kiba scored eight, Shikamaru, being lazy, only scored six, enough to pass although Naruto knew he could have done better, Chouji scored a seven, however that was when all the decent, or exceptional in Shino's case, scores ended. Sasuke went up, and as expected, his fangirls cheered for him. When he was given the kunai and shuriken he threw them all simultaneously, each landing with a bull's-eye.
"Nicely done Sasuke, perfect score," Iruka said. "Lastly, Uzumaki Naruto."
Sasuke walked away smirking all the while, while he fangirls fawned over him, however when he passed Naruto he said one thing.
"Dobe."
"Teme."
Iruka handed Naruto his kunai and shuriken, however instead of the usual standing in place and throwing them Naruto ran in a circle so he got dizzy before throwing them at the wooden post. He scored an eight.
"HAHA, NARUTO-BAKA CAN'T BEAT MY SASUKE-KUN!" Ino and Sakura roared, forcing everyone to cover their ears at the sound of the shrill voice of a banshee.
"She has a slight point Naruto. You could have scored a ten, why didn't you," Iruka asked.
"Because, in combat we won't have the luxury of our enemy standing still, therefore I made myself dizzy to counteract this affect," Naruto said.
Sasuke growled at Naruto; however what he said made sense. He should have thought of that. He was an Uchiha after all.
Iruka nodded. It made sense, and was quite true; still the old Naruto would not have thought of this and only threw the kunai and shuriken, matching Sasuke. He wondered who help the boy mature or train.
"Okay, next up, the written exam."
They walked back into the Academy and sat down, Sasuke sitting next to Naruto who sat next to Hinata. As the exam was passed out Sasuke looked fine as did Hinata, however Naruto looked dead.
"N-N-Naruto-kun?"
Naruto looked over at Hinata, looking at her timidly.
"Y-y-you can u-u-use my answers if y-y-you w-w-want," she said.
Sasuke and Naruto both looked at her, surprised, although for different reasons. Sasuke because this girl was willingly offering NARUTO a way to breeze pass all of the questions, as Hinata was one, if not the smartest, not counting Sakura, girl in the class. Naruto on the other hand, was surprised because Hinata was willing to sacrifice her own clan's honor, if she got caught, and her only purity to help him out. It was sweet of her.
"Thank you Hina-chan, but I can't do that. It's too much to ask."
Hinata nodded but looked away sadly. Naruto noticed this and felt a strange sadness overtake him as he noticed her sad, for some reason he hated seeing her like that even more than he usually did. He gave her a side hug.
"Truly thank you Hina-chan, you're a great friend."
Hinata began to blush madly and think the same lines over and over again in her head, all along the lines of, 'Naruto-kun is hugging me! Do not faint! Do not faint!' She managed to stay conscious and subconsciously scooted closer to Naruto, although he did not notice.
Naruto removed his arm and started the test. As soon as he saw the first question his head hit the table. He knew he would fail this right off the bat.
XxX
Naruto was surprised as he turned his test in, and the class finally sighed. He had taken three hours alone to complete that test, while the rest of the class finished it within an hour. But, Naruto was well, Naruto and while he was middle of the pack in terms of brains he still hated studying and because of that he did not study during his late night yesterday, resulting in a brain fart which resulted in him freaking out. However, he was positive he managed to scrape by, if only barely.
However now was the final part of the test, the jutsu portion. Naruto watched as many people went into a nearby room, some coming back with headbands, and some coming back with sadness all over their faces.
"You're going to fail dobe," Sasuke whispered.
"In your dreams," Naruto responded.
Sasuke just smirked before going back to his usual brooding attitude. Naruto frowned at that but then shrugged. It would take time, he was actually opening up faster than Naruto thought he would.
It took a while, but Sasuke's name was finally called and after a couple of minutes he came back with a headband, followed by Hinata who did the same thing. Naruto's name was called afterward.
"G-g-good luck Naruto-kun," Hinata said.
Naruto began walking down the steps and gave Hinata a thumbs up. "Thanks Hina-chan."
With that Naruto walked into the nearby room. He stood in front of Iruka and Mizuki, both of which looked at him sternly.
"Perform a Kawarimi (Body Replacement Technique) Naruto," Iruka said.
Naruto did so and switched places with Iruka. Iruka nodded and switched places with Naruto before looking at him again.
"Henge (Transformation Technique)."
Naruto transformed into the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Once Iruka nodded Naruto let the jutsu dispel, returning him to his normal form, enough time to prepare for the one thing Naruto knew would be on the test and something he was dreading.
"And finally do a Bunshin (Clone Technique)."
Naruto took a deep breath. He had had practiced this over and over all last night. He had done all of his chakra control exercises over and over as well. He could do this. With that he drew on the smallest portion of chakra he could and unleashed it in a clone. When the clone appeared on the floor next to him Naruto was worried, however he saw it had a brighter green complexion than usual and it was not lying on the floor, as per usual, and was instead sitting down.
"Um." Iruka mumbled.
"That would qualify as a sick person," Mizuki said.
"True," Iruka said, "however that clone is horrid."
Naruto sighed. He had just barely passed the test.
"Well, albeit barely on the jutsu portion, you passed the Genin Exam with an average of 90 out of the maximum one hundred you could have gotten. Great job Naruto," Iruka said.
Naruto smiled as Iruka handed him his headband. It had light blue cloth with the metal plate with the Konoha leaf symbol in the center of the metal plate. Naruto smiled and tied it around his forehead.
Naruto walked outside proudly, surprising everyone. They were honestly not expecting him to pass, save Sasuke, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Chouji. However as the last people came in and out they had no time to wonder how Naruto passed as they had to go and take their own tests, some coming back with sadness all over their faces. Naruto sighed as Iruka came out, absolutely pleased with the outcome of the test.
"With that we will announce the Rookie of the Year, who is Sasuke Uchiha, with a close runner-up being Naruto Uzumaki."
The entire fanbase of Sasuke cheered, celebrating his victory over Naruto, however the boys were impressed. Naruto had climbed the ladder up to Sasuke's level fairly quickly. They wondered what was next from him.
"And with that you guys are dismissed, congratulations."
The class began to filter out of the classroom until Mizuki walked up to Naruto and led him away.
"Naruto I have some information for you."
"What is it Mizuki-sensei?"
"Do you want to learn how to make better Bunshin (Clone Technique), ones that you could use effectively?"
Naruto looked shocked.
Hey guys it's Kuma Akuma. I think you will like this chapter, with a capital THINK. So yeah. Sorry for not uploading this one on Friday, early, like I updated all of my other stories earlier. There was an error and it would not let me upload the chapter until today, even though I finished the chapter on Friday. So yeah that kinda sucks. Anyways, yes lots of impending doom, and not only with Danzo, who will be showing up soon so get ready for that, and Kurama, but also the Mizuki incident. It's surprising I know, but get ready for it, cause it's gonna happen, and you're going to be exceedingly surprised.
Also, I'd like to thank all of the people who have sent in OCs namely being: OfficerShadowcat. While few, that OC was AMAZING! So yeah, that's a thing. Keep sending them in.
Well, that's really it, I don't have much to say, except thank you for the 103 followers you guys rock. I'm planning on doing something for that, but I don't know what yet...maybe White Tigers vs. The main cast of Uzumaki Namikaze Legend. That will be a long while from now then though, as the White Tigers would one-shot these guys as it is now, except for Anko and Kakashi. They'd win their fights. Well see you guys later, and avoid the Earl.
