Previously:

Kushina said. "I will read the next chapter."

Now:

Naruto stared at her smiling mother and then darted her eyes to her father. It still feels so…weird to know that my parents are here. They had always been figments of her imagination. People that she could always make up their background story and now her parents were here. They were here and they seemed to have loved her.

It is even weirder to see Mikoto-obaachan and her husband. She glanced at Sasuke and frowned when the older boy rubbed the sides of his temple. Black eyes gleamed with anger as he fixated his eyes on the very quiet Third Hokage. The Third Hokage tilted his hat downwards while everyone else frowned at the old man.

12 years ago

"That sounds like a flashback," Shikamaru commented as the screen came back to life. Naruto frowned and knitted her eyebrows together. Did something important happen 12 years ago? Well there was that incident but there was no way that this book was going to go into her past. The screen revealed a very familiar room and the whiskered teen felt her heart stopped.

She gulped. "Don't read it! Mom, for the love of God…don't read it!"

"Naru-chan, is there a reason that you don't want me to read your flashback?" Her mother asked with a frown playing on her lips. Everyone turned their body around to face her and Naruto looked down at her trembling hands. "Naru-chan, do you know which memory that—"

"Read it," Narumi declared quietly. "If we followed what Naruto wants then we aren't going to get any information from her. If I think that memory is what I think it is then I will talk to Naruto about it."

Kushina thinned her lips and looked down at the book.

Uzumaki Naruto was, at the time, three years old when she realized just how different she was from the other children in her orphanage.

"Did you learn that you were the jinchuuriki at that age?" Choji asked, flickering his eyes at her. He took a bite of his chips while everyone else turned their whole body around to face her. The Third Hokage stared at her with wide eyes, almost looking doubtful and the whiskered teen took a deep breath.

She could admit this.

"It should have been my first clue," Naruto answered dully. "No, I learnt the cruel reality that life isn't fair."

It wasn't completely wrong.

It was a memory she barely remembers, considering how young she was. When a child turned three, they should be able to freely show their emotions. Are you happy? Are you sad? Those were questions a child should freely express their answers. The importance of showing a person's real emotion was important in the development of a child.

"This sounds really, really dark," Ashido commented as sweat dribbled down the side of her neck. Naruto rubbed the back of her neck and took a deep breath as her eyes fixated on her 3-year-old self in the image. Her childhood self kept rubbing her eyes as Asami announced the news of her getting adopted.

Her mother tightened her grip on the book. "Naru-chan, who raised you after Keisuke-obaachan died?"

"Keisuke-obaachan?" Naruto asked, knitting her eyebrows together. "Who is that?"

The Fourth Hokage took a deep breath and glanced at his mother before looking back at her. "Keisuke was my step-mother. I told Keisuke that if anything happened to me and Kushina, then she would be the one to take care of you. I told her that unless you showed signs of having a Kekkei Genkei or if you are learning how to be a shinobi that she told you the truth."

Naruto nodded and knitted her eyebrows together before clearing her throat. "I went to the orphanage."

"Wait, you were in an orphanage?" Ino asked. "But I never saw you returning back home with those kids from the orphanage."

The blonde thinned her lips. "Let my mother read the memory and you will understand why I never returned back home with the other orphans to that…horrible hellhole."

The room she and another five girls stayed in had been the smallest room in the orphanage had to offer. Asami, Emica, Koharu, Kokoro and Nozomi. Those were their names. Only those five girls and the matron because Naruto couldn't remember anything else in that small, cold room in that little world she knew.

"Did they treat you differently from the other children?" Sakura asked, furrowing her eyebrows together. Her green eyes fixated on the girls and Naruto thinned her lips. Right, a few of them were her friends. Naruto rubbed the back of her neck as her future classmates gazed at her with curiosity.

Naruto sighed. "No, everyone had small rooms because the budget wasn't enough for us but our room was conveniently the one without a heater."

There was only one thing that set her a part from the other girls. All six of them had been born in the same year, with different months in between them but Naruto had been the only one born on October 10. Naruto never fully comprehend what was the significance of her birth the moment Asami announced the rules of her newly adopted parents.

Bakugou froze. "Your birthday is on October 10?"

"Yeah," Naruto answered with a raised eyebrow. "Do you have a problem with my birthday?"

The blond-haired boy stared at her for the longest time before shaking his head at her. I don't know why he is shocked about my birthday, I always sent a clone to go when I can't bear to go outside. She rubbed the back of her neck and leaned against the couch while everyone else continued to stare at her.

"I have a very bad feeling about those rules," Aizawa said. He darted his eyes around the other adults and every single one of them bobbed their heads in agreement. Naruto only smiled widely when black eyes landed on her and the frown on his face deepened. But if her future teacher had a comment then he wisely said nothing.

The six of them had been seated on Asami's bed. It had been one of the bigger beds that could fit two of the girls and sometimes when the matron was asleep, they would eat chocolate. It was their little secret because the Matron never liked it whenever they ate Chocolate. Especially Naruto.

"Everything was an exception when it came to you," Mikoto observed with a frown. Her black eyes darted to her husband and the man only rolled his eyes at them. Naruto only nodded while everyone else furrowed their eyebrows. The whiskered teen glanced at her parents and sighed when their eyes gleamed with irritation.

Her father stared at her. "Naru-chan, why did the Matron never give you chocolate? Is it because you were a Jinchuuriki?"

"That and because I would get very hyperactive," Naruto admitted with a shrug. Kakashi raised a single eyebrow while both of her parents did not look one bit convinced by her words.

"My new Mommy says I can't hang out with you," Asami said softly, eyes setting on Naruto. At the tender age of three, Naruto doesn't fully understand what it means. She was just merely upset her friend was getting adopted, leaving her alone with the other girls. The other girls blinked, eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"Did all of the parents say that all of you can't play with Naruto?" Narumi asked, pressing her lips into a thin line. She darted her eyes to the chunins in the room before flickering her eyes at Sasuke. Kushina looked away from her book and locked her irritated gazes at the other chunin.

Shikamaru sighed. "I don't know about Choji but my parents never said that I can't play with Naruto. The only reason I never brought Naruto back home is because I didn't want another female ganging up on me."

"You are the unmotivated one," Aizawa commented. Shikamaru blinked and then bobbed his head while Ino and Choji gazed at Aizawa with surprise before flickering their eyes to Naruto. Narumi cleared her throat and rested her eyes on the two other chunins in team 10. Both teens exchanged glances.

"My parents never told me that I can't play with her," Ino confirmed. "But playing with Naruto was going to ruin my popularity which is why I never hang out with her."

Naruto rolled her eyes. And then you ended up my life a living hell because of those stupid rumors about Sasuke having a crush on me. Sakura stared at her before flickering her eyes at Ino. The blond-haired girl raised an eyebrow and the pink-haired teen only sighed before shaking her head.

"My Dad disliked Naruto," Choji admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "He never liked it when he found me and Shikamaru playing with her but Shikaku-ojisan was always able to calm him down."

Minato closed his eyes and pressed his lips into a very thin line. "Between your father and Shikaku, Shikaku had always been the one to choose reason and logic over personal feelings. But if I ever meet your father in the next life, you can be certain that I'm going to have a few words with him."

"What about your parents?" Narumi directed the question to team 8.

All three members exchanged glances before stating: "None of them had a problem with us hanging out with Naruto."

"I thought your father dislike me, Hinata-chan," Naruto observed, curling her lips into a frown. Her best friend hummed and tilted her head to the side before flickering her eyes at Kushina and then landing her gaze on the book. The blue-haired girl took in a deep breath and looked down at her hands.

"Father dislikes the fact that you have that much potential but you are using it to cause trouble for the village," Hinata explained. "And he dislikes the fact that you have no regard for manners but he never said that I couldn't play with you. He tried to encourage Neji-niisan but you know Neji-niisan."

"The moment Hiashi tells him to do one thing, he does the other thing," Naruto observed. Hinata smiled and bobbed her head while Narumi looked faintly amused by those words. She flickered her eyes at Bakugou and the blond-haired male glared at their grandmother, before folding his arms against his chest.

Narumi nodded. "What about you, Sakura?"

"Same as Choji," Sakura confirmed. "My parents don't like Naruto."

"All of us?" Emica asked.

Asami shook her head, eyes fixated on the teary-eyed Naruto. "Only her. She says as soon as I'm in her house then I can't every play with her."

Naruto's eyes widened, lips trembling as she found the usual warm eyes of her friend turning so icy-cold. The other girls were frowning, their eyes darting at her and then to their friend, asking for the oldest girl to explain—explain what? Mi-chan you're making the other girls sad. Naruto rubbed her eyes and met Asami's cold eyes gazing back at her.

"She is a monster and the reason all of you can't get new parents."

Kushina dropped the book and swirled her head at the Third Hokage. Her bright red hair seemed to be splitting into 9 parts and Naruto inched closer to Todoroki. The heterochromatic boy inched closer to the side of the couch while Minato remained unfazed at the anger being displayed.

Kakashi gulped and crept further away from the furious woman while everyone else gulped.

"My daughter isn't a monster!" Kushina yelled before swirling her head at Minato. "This is all your fault! I told you that no one has to know about her being a jinchuuriki! My grandfather made that contract for a reason! I told you not to be naïve when it comes to her!"

Everyone blinked and Naruto furrowed her eyebrows as her mother continued to glare at Minato. What contract? She rubbed the back of her neck and flickered her eyes to the Third Hokage. The old man grimaced and gazed down at his hands before fixating his eyes on everyone in the room.

Her father flinched. "I didn't think that it would get this bad!"

"Not that bad?" Kushina cried. "Parents are telling that our child is a monster! I didn't carry Naruto for 10 months—"

"10 months?" Naruto squeaked. "The normal human pregnancy is 9 months!"

Her mother nodded. "Yes but when you are a jinchuuriki then it is even longer."

Good thing that I have no plans to have any kids or have any romantic relationship. Naruto rubbed her stomach and looked down at her feet while her mother clenched her jaws together. She fixated her furious violet eyes on the Third Hokage and the man gulped before folding his arms against his chest.

"What is your excuse, Third Hokage? I'm sure you remembered what Grandfather told you!" Her mother screeched, stomping towards the man. Naruto blinked when a couple of chains hurled towards her mother, pulling her back. Kushina blinked slightly and looked at the slivery glow of the large chains before glaring at the man. "Why did you even agree to that naïve, foolish husband of mine wishes?"

"It was only meant to be told by the shinobi involved in the attack," The Third Hokage explained. "But someone leaked out the information to the civilians. I made it an S-class law that anyone who told Naruto that she was the jinchuuriki, would be given the highest penalty that we have!"

Kushina clenched her hands into a fist and struggled against the chains. "Then isn't it fucking convenient that little girl's adopted parents called my little girl, a monster? You are lucky that the chains are holding me back because—"

Whack.

Everyone blinked and stared at Narumi, who looked down at her makeshift bat with pride. The white-haired woman whacked the Third Hokage again with the bat before hurling her fist against the man's stomach. Everyone gulped and watched with horror as the old man was sent flying toward the wall.

"Shouldn't we have stopped her?" Shikamaru commented.

Ino shuddered. "And get hit by her fist? No way! It is better for the dead man to be hit than us!"

Her friends swirled their heads at her, eyes looking at her like it was really her fault that none of them could be adopted. Monster? But I'm not a monster. She defended Asami whenever one of the boys pulled her hair. Maybe she shouldn't punch him but he deserve it. He made her cry. That didn't make her a monster.

"Naruto-chan," Hinata whispered. Everyone turned around to stare at the blond-haired girl and the whiskered teen only stared blankly at the screen. You think I don't have to deal with shit? She rubbed the back of her neck and looked away when her mother and father gazed at her with sadness. "Why have you never talked about it?"

"I don't see the point of putting that kind of burden on someone," Naruto answered sincerely. She quirked her lips slightly and let out a little laugh. "It could have been worse. I mean someone could have tried to kill me in my sleep or I could have a mob chasing me. My life story isn't all that special. I wasn't physically abused. "

Narumi stared at her. "You were being emotionally abused by your friends!"

"I got over it," Naruto stated with a shrug. "Do I look like someone who had been abused? I fight back. I don't cry or have any wounds about my past. You don't hear me whining and bitching about how hard my life was…because it could have been worse."

"I'm not a monster!" She yells again and again. Tears spilled out of her eyes and Naruto wanted one of her friends to comfort her. But children believed the words of an adult and the desire to be adopted was greater than any desire to protect their friends.

Mikoto frowned and shook her head before swirling her head at Fugaku. "I told you that we should adopt her! I told you that we should have look after her when Minato and Kushina died!"

"If we adopted Naruto then it would have looked like a power play," Fugaku answered, narrowing his eyes at his wife. "You know the elders in that blasted council was suspicious about our behaviour! Even though that Danzo ordered me and every officer to protect the civilians! If I let you do what you wanted then the whole thing would have been worse for the clan!"

Mikoto narrowed her eyes. "Oh and it isn't because you don't like the fact that she is Minato and Kushina's daughter?"

"I respect Minato even if you were too fond of him," Fugaku stated bitterly. Naruto and Sasuke blinked while Kushina frowned. The two teens exchanged glances while the black-haired man thinned his lips into an even thinner line. "While I don't like that devil woman—"

"The feeling is mutual," Kushina said with a sweet smile.

The man rolled his eyes. "I would have let you adopt Naruto if I wasn't too concern about those councilmembers thinking too seriously about our actions."

"What about—"

"I'm not making those two marry each other if their feelings weren't mutual," Fugaku said flatly. "I know very well what it is like and I'm not putting my sons through that."

Mikoto flinched and Naruto blinked.

"You're a monster!"

"Monster!"

They circled around her, jeering and calling her the name Monster as Asami tells them of how they could be adopted. My name isn't Monster. Grandma called me her little Naru-chan, her maelstorm. Tears pooled out of her blue eyes and Naruto yanks the girls by the hair. She punches and kicks them, ignoring their cries for her to stop.

They didn't stop with the name calling and Naruto would get even.

"They are going to get pummelled," Shikamaru stated. "We all know that when Naruto starts attacking then she would never stop."

"You think I am going to cry and make myself into some helpless little victim?" Naruto asked, rolling her eyes at him. Shikamaru and the others blinked while the whiskered teen stared blankly at the screen that displayed her crying self. She ignored the thoughtful looks of Todoroki and cleared her throat. "I fight back because that is what you should do."

The door to their room slammed open after the fifth scream and the matron stormed in. The screams and cries stopped and Naruto let go of Asami's ponytail. Cold eyes locked onto her but Naruto didn't understand why she looked at her like that. Why does she look at me like I'm a monster? They started it. She feels even more tears pouring out of her eyes.

"What happened?" Matron asked. She never looked at Naruto, only locking eyes on Asami. The Matron never really looked at Naruto. She never called her by her name and never paid much attention to her.

"Did she neglect you?" Narumi asked quietly. Everyone else stared at her with horror and the blond-haired girl rubbed the back of her neck as her hands trembled slightly. Neglect? That was a better way to describe the matron's initial treatment towards her. She took a deep breath.

"Initially, she neglected me," Naruto confirmed. "I wish she stayed neglectful."

Minato swirled his head at the Third Hokage. "Why didn't you check up on her? Why didn't you have the ANBU check up on her? Do you realize what could have been the potential consequence of your attitude!"

"He wouldn't let me check up on Naruto when I had time," Kakashi observed. "He didn't let me be one of the guards to watch her! He gave that honor to people who apparently didn't care enough to intervene in the situation!"

The Third Hokage sighed. "Kakashi, you were too emotionally involved when it came to Naruto!"

"It was better that he was emotionally involved!" Minato yelled as Kushina narrowed her eyes at the Third Hokage. The others bobbed their heads and Naruto only stared blankly at Kakashi. She bit her tongue and rubbed the back of her neck. "That woman neglected Naruto and none of your ANBU even tried to tell you!"

The Third Hokage took a deep breath. "Minato, neglect isn't too—"

"It is horrible!" Narumi snarled, narrowing her eyes at him. "Do you know the kind of issues that could come up from children who had been neglected? Because I could give you a whole list of issues! My granddaughter was neglected and you don't think it is too bad! If that was your grandson then would you say that?"

"N—"

"Of course not because it is different when it is your grandchild!" Narumi growled.

Koharu smoothed her hair, smiled innocently and pointed at Naruto. "She started a fight with Mi-chan! She started the whole stupid fight!"

Blue eyes widened and Naruto balled her hands into a fist. "She said that my name from now on is Monster! My name is Naruto! I'm Naru-chan!"

"I can't look," Jirou commented, turning green as she covered her face. Naruto nodded and stared up at the ceiling as her various family members looked at her with tearful eyes. Why are they crying? It could have been worse. My pain means nothing because it could have been worse. She took a deep breath and stared at Todoroki.

Sakura stared at her. "Why have you never—"

"Because what is my life story compared to Gaara and Sasuke, right? Sasuke lost his family through massacre and you want to baby him," Naruto said dryly. She took a deep breath and curled her lips into a bitter smile. "The only reason you are upset is because this book is making it seem like it had been horrible. My life could have been worse."

"It doesn't make it any less painful," Todoroki stated.

Naruto kept quiet.

She waits for a hug like the matron used to give to the other kids whenever someone feels hurt from the name-calling. The matron hugged Haruto after one of the older boys called him buck-tooth. She will tell them that they are mean. She waited for her to scold them because that was what an adult should do.

Those cold eyes turned even colder as they locked onto her. "Why do you look at me like that? You are a monster and monsters like you don't deserve to cry."

"Is that why you never cry, Naruto-chan?" Hinata asked as Kushina tightened her grip on the book. Narumi clenched her hands into a fist and gazed at her while everyone else looked at her with wide eyes. "For as long as I could remember, you have never cried not even when Sasuke left."

Naruto looked up at the ceiling. "Crying doesn't solve anything."

"Tsunade, if you have any care for Naruto then I want that spiteful, old bitch dead," Kushina declared as her violet eyes glowed with fury. The red-haired woman sniffed and clenched her jaws together before glaring at her daughter. "My daughter lashes out because of some bias parents and this woman goes along with it? She isn't fit to take care of an orphanage! Those girls weren't innocent!"

Granny would have comforted me. She cried harder, hoping the matron would take back those words and comfort her. It did not. The old lady just scowled at her and smacked her hard on the face, screaming and yelling at her that she didn't deserve to cry.

Naruto touched her cheek and kept her expression stoic when everyone turned around to gaze at her with sad eyes. I hate this book and how they are talking about my past. She had been doing fine until now. Her past did not affect her that much. She had been doing well until now. She could still smile and not many people could claim it.

"Third," Minato said quietly. "Could you look me in the eye and tell me that this wasn't bad? Never mind the fact that Naruto is my daughter but this woman isn't mentally stable if she reacts in that way!"

"She only hurt me," Naruto stated.

Her father shook his head. "And that is even worse! You were innocent when it came to what happened! You did nothing wrong and this woman hurt you! I'm just so relieved that you never decided to hurt people."

"What happened to me was your fault," Naruto said flatly. "You and Mom were selfish enough to decide to have me. You didn't think of what your consequence of having me would mean. Why did you even have me if you were going to abandon me? Why was I even born?"

Everyone kept quiet and the blonde looked away from them.

"Monsters like you don't deserve to get comfort or cry."

None of the children came to rescue her.

That day Naruto learnt that her tears and feelings didn't matter to anyone.

"Is that why you never talk about your own experiences?" Gaara asked, staring at her with wide eyes. Naruto only nodded and looked out at the screen to her crying self. What was the point of talking about her experience? She couldn't see the point. She flickered her eyes to her teary-eyed mother before darting her eyes to her stone-faced father.

Mitsuki stared at her and hiccupped before looking away while her uncle stared at her with reddened eyes. Her grandmother glared at the Third Hokage before narrowing her eyes at her quiet mentor.

"Because it doesn't matter," Naruto answered. "Did you really want to know about that or the fact that I lived in the streets for a whole year?"

Her mother froze. "You were on the streets?!"

"Well I couldn't stay with the Matron when she hit me," Naruto answered, rubbing the back of her neck. "No one was planning to adopt me so I thought running away was better. I was nearly 5-year-old when I ran away so really I only endured Matron for a few years and I was on the streets for a year and a bit."

Her grandmother paled. "A year!"

"Where were you during that period of time?" Minato asked Jiraiya. "I made you her godfather!"

"You made a pervert, her godfather!" Mitsuki yelled. "Are you insane, Mina-niisan?"

Naruto only tuned them out and stared up at the ceiling. What was the point of them talking about what happened? They couldn't change the past. She rubbed the back of her neck and took a deep breath as various items flew above her head. She exchanged glances with Todoroki and he looked at her with thoughtful eyes.

"They can't undo the damage," he commented.

Naruto nodded. "I don't understand why they are so focused on what happened."

"Isn't it because they care about you?" Todoroki observed.

The blonde blinked and frowned before tucking her head between her legs. That was an interesting observation that she hadn't really considered, then again why would she even consider it? She took in a deep breath and looked up, only to blink at the sight of Todoroki gazing at her with curious eyes.

There are several ways for them to enter.

Naruto examined the map calmly. She ignored the leering looks from Mineta and the furrowed eyebrows from Yaoyorozu as several plans formed in her head. Blue eyes darted at all the possible entrances that their classmates could take. The back entrance was a terrible place to enter in an ordinary scenario since they needed to break the locked window.

"If you even try and touch my daughter then you can consider your hand gone," her father declared, narrowing his eyes at Mineta. The purple-haired teen gulped and gazed down at his hands with a new sense of fear. "I never tolerated that kind of behaviour before and I certainly never tolerate it now."

Mineta gulped. "Y-Yes, sir!"

"You know I can handle him," Naruto stated.

Hinata nodded. "Naruto-chan has a very good nickname that the boys gave her when they started to go through puberty. They called Naruto-chan: the reaper."

"What the hell did you do to them to be given that nickname?" Kaminari asked. He gulped and stared at the other males, who avoided looking them in the eye. He paled and turned his head at her. The whiskered teen offered him a tiny smile before looking up at the ceiling. She was definitely not going to tell him.

It would just make him even more terrified.

These people would need to go from the front entrance. The less sound they could make, the better when it came to infiltration. Any rookie could tell you that but it was also very dangerous.

"Kaminari can use lightening, right?" Naruto asked.

Kaminari bobbed his head and then smiled widely at her. Naruto hummed and tilted her head while her father pressed his lips into a very thin line. He doesn't look all that happy with Kaminari. She didn't understand why or even why her mother lightly smacked her father in the back of head.

Yaoyorozu nodded. "And Jirou's Quirk works like a headphone cable."

Headphone cable? So she could listen to things? Would that make her ears more susceptible to sound? She flickered her eyes to her classmate. The girl looked a little bit creeped out as Mineta fixated his perverse eyes on the rather large breasts of her fellow female. The boy leaned closer, his hand reaching forward…

Yaoyorozu scooted further away from the purple-haired boy while the females in the group narrowed their eyes at the purple-haired male. He gulped and flinched when Minato narrowed his eyes at him. "You can't blame me!"

"Normally, I would agree but there is a subtle art when it comes to leering on a woman," Jiraiya said, bobbing his head. "And when you have Naruto with you then you have to be extra careful. She might decide to break every bone in your body because you were openly doing it."

Kiba nodded. "Anyone who has been in a class with Naruto, would tell you that you don't act like a pervert in front of the Reaper."

Naruto slapped his hands and blue eyes narrowed dangerously. "You get your head out of the gutter and focus on the job ahead. You got a brain, don't you? Start helping us of thinking of a way to win this battle and not how you can sneak a feel."

"Naruto, you have really calm down!" Kiba cried. "If that was me then you would have sent me to the hospital with a broken penis!"

Her father smiled. "That's my daughter!"

Naruto rolled her eyes and quirked her lips slightly before regarding her best friend's crush. The other males looked at her with eyes filled with fear while the other girls frowned at her. Tsunade and the Third Hokage raised their eyebrows at her as if curious to know what had been her behaviour.

It was rather obvious if you asked her.

"I didn't break his penis because he is my teammate in this scenario," Naruto explained, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm pretty sure that the other teachers would have scolded me for going to drastic measures."

"Y-Yes, ma'am." Mineta stuttered.

Yaoyorozu smiled and relaxed her shoulders as the purple-haired boy fixed his eyes on the map. He tilted his head, eyebrows scrunched together and flickered between the two girls. Naruto ignored his questioning look and just stared at the map. Several plans formed in her head but the blonde was torn on which plan to go with.

"Uzumaki, thank you." Yaoyorozu said quietly.

Naruto kept her eyes fixated on the map. "When it comes to perverts, you ignore those shits and act like you are the Head Bitch in Charge. You don't act like a wallflower."

"Naruto-chan knows this from experience," Hinata said with a reluctant sigh. Naruto groaned and rubbed the back of her neck while Sakura and Ino grimaced at the reminder. Kankuro blinked and then gazed at her with curious eyes. "A lot of the boys tried to catch a glimpse of Naruto-chan in our last year of the Academy."

Minato's eyebrows twitched and he swirled his head at the Third. "I told you that we had to put a class on the importance of respecting females and implement laws on this kind of behaviour."

"And I told you that even if we implement it, there won't be a male who listened to it," The Third Hokage commented. "Besides, Naruto-chan did an excellent job of teaching the males of not angering a female."

Shikamaru stared at him. "Naruto made every male fear for the safety of their balls!"

"His eyes are…"

"He won't be the first boy to look at you like that and he definitely won't be the last if you choose to stick with that costume. So own that costume and show the pervert that you run the show, not him." Her classmate looked put off by her comment. Naruto didn't care what the girl thought of her comment. Mineta was a pervert, a terrible pervert but he didn't try to hide it.

"You are definitely my grandchild," Narumi declared, bobbing her head. "That is a good idea if you know that you can't change his behaviour, but maybe it would even better if he goes through an educational video on the dangers of perving."

Aizawa nodded. "I might have to inform Nedzu that we need an extra class on being outstanding citizens because obviously we are going to have the living embodiment of lust in our class."

"I'm an outstanding citizen!" Mineta cried.

All boys were perverts in their own ways but some boys hid it better than others. Naruto released a sigh and observed her female teammate. Her eyes lingered on her scrunched eyebrows and the hunched back as those dainty fingers traced the map.

Mineta poked Naruto on the shoulder and the blond-haired girl swirled her head around. "Can't we use your clones to fight them? You can just overpower them with those clones and we will win."

"We aren't taking the easy way out!" Yaoyorozu cried. "That's unfair for Uzumaki! And we are supposed to be learning, Mineta! Even if it is tempting to get the lesson over and done with, we are working together as a team!"

Mineta frowned. "But c'mon! Her abilities are perfect for us and we don't have to worry about getting an electric shock!"

"His idea is boring," Naruto said dryly. "What kind of villain just uses clones? If we are going to do this then we need to think like villains! There is no way that my future self is going to accept this plan of yours!"

Naruto regarded the boy and mulled over his suggestion. There was nothing wrong about it and it made sense with what he knew about her Chakra. But it was just too boring. A good villain would never be this predictable. Booby traps would be set, someone would be kidnapped and all kind of shit.

"But Uzumaki will be doing all the work and we wouldn't learn anything," Yaoyorozu pointed out. "It isn't fair for us."

"We have to capture them and Kaminari's Quirk is really powerful."

Capture them? Our goal is to capture them. Naruto turned the map around and closed her eyes. Yaoyorozu could make anything if the Quirk Assessment Test were of any indication. Mineta had a terrible, weak Quirk but it would be useful in a situation like theirs.

"You can make anything?" Shikamaru asked, blinking.

Yaoyorozu bobbed her head. "As long as I understand the atomic configuration of the item then I can make anything through the use of my body. However in order for me to use my Quirk to its full potential, I need to eat a lot of food because the items break down a lot of fat."

"Hence the outfit," Naruto said. Yaoyorozu bobbed her head and the blonde curled her lips into a tiny frown before flickering her eyes to Mineta. "What is your Quirk?"

"I can make and pull ball shaped objects from my head," Mineta confirmed. "They are actually quite sticky and like you said…it is a very weak Quirk."

Naruto eyed those two and bobbed her head before curling her lips into a slight smile. I think I have an idea of what my future self is going to do with their Kekkei Genkei. Everyone exchanged glances before landing their eyes on her. The blonde smiled even wider and let out a little chuckle.

"We just have to capture them," Naruto muttered. The teens swirled their heads and glanced at each other with furrowed eyebrows. "We don't have to fight them."

"It is a battle trial," Yaoyorozu frowned. "That implies we have to fight the Heroes at some point."

She shook her head. "All Might never mentioned that we must fight them. If we were to think like Villains then would we really want to waste our time to fight them? Would we allow anyone to come in so easily? Only a stupid Villain would do something like this."

The Fourth Hokage blinked. "All Might is teaching you? Is he still as amazing as he was when I was a kid? He came onto the scene around the same time that I went with your grandfather to Konoha."

"We are going to find out whether he is amazing teacher," Bakugou declared, shifting his gaze on the blonde. "Whiskers believes that there is potential for him to be a crappy teacher."

Naruto sighed. "I told you that a person could be amazing in their job but be horrible when it comes to teaching!"

"You want to set a trap, don't you?" Mineta asked.

Naruto nodded and flickered her eyes to the window. The blond-haired girl turned off her earpiece, channelled her chakra to her ear and then pressed it against the wall. A good prankster always knew to observe and learn about their targets or else the prank would just go terribly wrong.

Izuku blinked. "You are a prankster?"

"Naruto is a very good prankster," The Third Hokage answered, shaking his head. Naruto shrugged her shoulders while Sakura and Ino touched their hair. Todoroki flickered his eyes between them while her mother grinned at this piece of information. "If Naru-chan spent less time pranking people then she might have overtaken her father's graduation age."

Naruto shrugged. "You should have let me pass with how amazing my pranks were."

"Yaoyorozu and Mineta are lucky," Shikamaru commented, rubbing the back of his neck. Everyone blinked and the black-haired boy fixated his eyes on the screen before darting his eyes to the others. "In terms of trap-making, the one person that I don't want to fight with is Naruto. If I had to fight Naruto during the Chunin Exams then I would have exhausted all resources trying to figure her out."

Choji nodded. "Naruto is unpredictable."

Pranks were the best way to test a person's intelligence if you asked her.

She could hear the conversation between Kaminari and Jirou. The front entrance was decided on. No one would think they would come from there was the reason the kids decided on. Naruto poked her tongue against her cheek, flickered her eyes to her teammates.

"Fighting you is going to be a nightmare," Kaminari declared, slumping against his couch. Jirou bobbed her head and groaned while everyone else eyed the girl with weariness. "Not only can you make clones and have super strength, you can also enhance your hearing! How the hell can anyone win against you?"

Naruto shrugged. "I have got experience on my side and there are people out there that can defeat me."

"Can anyone in this room defeat you?" He demanded.

Sakura and Sasuke raised their hands and Naruto raised an eyebrow at Sakura. Her pink-haired teammate pointed to Tsunade and Naruto turned her head to look at the woman. The blond-haired woman pressed her lips into a very thin line while the whiskered teen shrugged her shoulders.

"Sasuke could give me some problem," Naruto stated. "Sakura…not so much."

Sakura clenched her jaws. "I have been training with Tsunade while you haven't been doing anything so how can you say that you can still beat me? Maybe three years ago but right now, you aren't doing anything! And don't you even bring Sasuke-kun when you explain yourself."

"Drive," Naruto answered plainly. Sakura blinked and the blond-haired girl leaned her body forward until her blue eyes fixated on the green eyes of her teammate. "Your dream has never been to surpass Tsunade which means you will be content when you reach her level. Me? I would go above and beyond her level because my dream has always been to be the strongest shinobi in the world. That is and will always be the difference between me and you."

Sakura narrowed her eyes. "I have drive!"

"If you had drive then Sasuke and me wouldn't have wasted a whole year to save your ass during missions," Naruto stated. "If you had drive then you wouldn't have said that your dream was to marry Sasuke and to have his babies."

Mikoto swirled her head at Sasuke. "I love you, Sasuke and while you made me angry with your actions. Do not ever marry someone like her! I refuse for my future grandchildren to have a mother that stated that she wants to get married to you when she was 12!"

Sasuke bobbed his head and Sakura gawked at Mikoto.

"Yaoyorozu, can you make wires? And spray paint? And maybe a couple of ping pong balls?" Her classmate nodded and Naruto flickered her eyes to her perverted classmate. "Mineta, is it possible for me to do…"

Mineta's eyes grew large at her plans while her other female classmate tilted her head at her, eyebrows inching higher and higher as the girl explained her plans. This might be the longest conversation that Naruto spoke in a while, but the art of trap making should never be taken lightly.

It was an art that one should worship if you asked her. The best kind of revenge was always those traps that no one ever thought about. The kind that lurked right underneath their noses and took people by surprise.

"It sounds like you have been studying on how to make traps since you were a child," her grandmother observed. "And that you want revenge for everyone who hurt you."

Naruto frowned and tilted her head to the side. "Well I have been making traps as soon as the Academy introduce us to that as a lesson. It is one of the few shinobi classes where I was allowed to be creative when it came to my traps."

"You haven't been plotting revenge, have you?" Aizawa asked. The blonde blinked and shot him a confused look as the man continued to regard the scene before them. "Considering what we saw with your flashback, it would not be a stretched to presume that you have considered harming the people around you."

The blonde sighed. "My idea of revenge was me becoming Hokage and proving to them that the kid that they were being disrespectful was now the kid with the highest position. It would have made them acknowledge me and also made them more weary about trying to harm me. The revenge you are thinking of…not that satisfying whenever I thought about it."

"Do you guys have anything to add? Do you think we should change my idea?" The two students shook their heads as the blond-haired girl poked her head to the window. The timer would go off to tell them that the battle had started and considering she spent most of the time, explaining her plan.

Well she might need speed up on making those clones to finish the job quickly.

"It would be nice if there was a downside to your Quirk," Jirou muttered, shaking her head. "There is nothing that you cannot do with that Quirk of yours! You can even mimic some of our abilities."

Naruto sighed. "If I used too much chakra then I will have chakra exhaustion and there are certain abilities that I cannot do. For example, I can't make ice or even lava. I don't have a Kekkei Genkei like Hinata-chan that allows me to see through walls."

Mineta's eyes gleamed with perversion and Naruto nodded her head at Asui when the girl promptly whacked the male on the head. Not a single one of them was in the mood to hear something perverted from the boy. I just want this book done and over with, so that I can go back to work. She smoothed the wrinkles of her skirt.

"Rational judgement is a key component in battle. While the previous team were too quick to act with their emotions, it seems that Team C and Team J are showing better control over their emotions. Can anyone tell me where they can improve on?"

All Might scanned his curious students. His blue eyes lingered on the shadowed lines belonging to Bakugou. The boy had been very quiet since he lost to young Midoriya and seemed to have grown even quieter when it was declared that the next match was Uzumaki.

"No way did Deku beat me!" Bakugou growled, throwing a glare at Izuku. The green-haired boy flinched and stared at the book with wide eyes while Naruto tilted her head to the side. Her half-cousin narrowed his eyes at her. "What the hell is going through your mind, Whiskers? You think it is possible for Deku to beat me?"

Naruto nodded. "Well if Midoriya got in then you are probably in shock which means that your planning ability might have been affected. I know that when it came to my fight with Neji that I haven't been able to think rationally and when it comes to Midoriya…you act like an idiot."

"You should be on my side," he grumbled. "You are my cousin!"

The blonde rolled her eyes. "I'm your cousin, not your fangirl. If you want someone to take your side then ask some of the girls from our middle school to take your side. You know how much they love to stroke your ego."

It did not escape his notice how much Uzumaki looked eerily similar to the missing boy from nearly 33 years ago. The girl had the same bright blond hair and blue eyes with the only difference was that Uzumaki had straight hair. The missing boy had spiky blond hair.

Minato blinked. "Was All Might the one searching for me?"

"Yes," Narumi answered, nodding her head. Naruto blinked and stared at them with curious eyes while her father rubbed the back of his neck. Her grandmother pressed her lips into a thin line. "At first the police got involved but when they found no trace of your whereabouts…that was when All Might came in. He kept apologizing to me for not finding you."

Her father flinched. "Mom, I'm s—"

"You are dead," her grandmother said sharply. "And nothing you can say can undo the damage that your father did. I thought I raised you to be an outstanding man who cares about his family and take responsibility for his actions, but what you did to Naruto speaks volumes of how much I failed when it comes to raising you."

Mikoto grimaced and gave a pointed look to Sasuke.

The older boy dropped his head.

Tsuyu raised her hand. "They aren't preparing themselves properly? Uzumaki seemed to have made all the decisions and the others are going ahead with her plans."

He shook his head and locked his eyes on Uzumaki. The girl seemed intent on sitting between Mineta and Yaoyorozu, acting as the barrier between them. It had been his concern when it revealed that there were two girls with the perverted boy.

"You know I just realized that our team placement could have been worse," Naruto observed. "I could have had a pervert instead of an asshole for a teammate. Then our team would have been: the pervert, the slacker and the kunoichi with no special ability."

Sakura pressed her lips into a thin line. "Naruto—"

"I'm just repeating Shikamaru's description of you," Naruto reminded her. The pink-haired girl narrowed her eyes at her and the blonde looked at the black-haired male. Shikamaru shot her a look of irritation and the blonde rolled her eyes. "Hey! You were the one that used the descripting during the Invasion! Now that Sakura is learning from the Old Hag, you are terrified?"

Shikamaru stared at her. "You know Sakura is violent! If you are only violent to perverts then she is violent to every boy who isn't Sasuke."

"We live in a society where it is considered okay for a female to hit a male," Narumi commented, shaking her head. Everyone turned around and the blue-eyed woman regarded Sakura with thoughtful eyes. "But if a male hit a female then it is considered abusive. This is a world that is unjust to everyone."

Choji nodded. "Why can't we be treated equally?"

"Because of society," Naruto deadpanned.

However Uzumaki cleared his worries when she promptly put Mineta in his place.

"Uzumaki did discuss with them about the plans," All Might reminded them. "She had put all of their Quirks into consideration and made a very elaborate plan. All of you just should have paid closer…"

"Whiskers planned to trap them," Bakugou interjected. Everyone swirled their heads at the boy, raising their eyebrows at what made the hot-headed boy come to the conclusion. He grunted and jerked his finger to the monitor that showed the front entrance. "But her plan requires her to presume that those extras are going from the front entrance."

"If I didn't overheard their conversation then you are right that I'm making a presumption," Naruto agreed. "But I must be doing a terrible job if you can figure out my plans that quickly."

Bakugou balled his hands into a fist and narrowed his eyes at her. "What does that mean? I am very observant, Whiskers!"

"You are seeing it through the small screen and you can pick up my trap," Naruto said with a frown. She regarded the television screen before darting her eyes at the others. Her father and the other shinobi curled their lips into a very thin line. "If you were my opponent then you would be even more difficult to trap. I mean the element of surprise won't be in my favour."

He leaned against the chair. "You are supposed to be fighting anyway!"

"I don't want to send you to the hospital," Naruto said. "Sending a pervert to the hospital is one thing and sending my cousin and classmate to the hospital is a whole different story."

"Why the hell do you call us, Extras?" Kirishima grumbled.

"Because he can't be bother to remember your name," Naruto answered. Kirishima blinked and swirled his head at Bakugou while everyone else just stared at the blond-haired boy with frowns playing on their lips. "If he can't remember your name or if he doesn't respect you then either he is going to call you Extra or some degrading nickname."

Kankuro stared at him. "And I thought Sasuke was an ass."

"I'm not the one that tried to kill his best friend," Bakugou growled. Sasuke closed his eyes and flinched while Mikoto and Fugaku exchanged glances between them. "Emo over there did the ultimate dick move! The worst I have ever done was beat up Deku and even then he was being a self-sacrificing idiot!"

"I'm not a self-sacrificing—"

"You tried to fight the slime villain," Naruto said slowly. "And you don't have any abilities that could save you. I'm sorry Midoriya but I'm with Bakugou when it comes to the self-sacrificing idiot."

Bakugou ignored the complaint and focused on the monitor. "If you look carefully on the floor then you could clearly see that Grape Boy's balls are there; they just spray painted it."

That is one observation. All Might could point out another one, but he would wait for the other students to realize what Team C planned. Those wires and ping-pong balls were not things he expected from them. The level of planning shown was not one he expected from them. All Might never suspected one of them would use a loop-hole.

"When it comes to Naruto, you have to be extra careful with your wording," The Third Hokage said, rubbing the sides of his head. "You have no idea how many times she used my words against me! The amount of times I had to calm Iruka down because he realized that Naruto found a loophole with what she was allowed to do."

Naruto smiled thinly. "Loopholes are there for a reason and it should be a lesson on why you have to make laws iron-clad or else someone can use those words against you."

"You were nine," The Third Hokage stated. "And you manage to find a way to counter-argue every reason Iruka shouldn't give you that particular detention because he never stated that you couldn't be brutal to your opponent!"

The blonde shrugged. "Did the parents try to get me expel me because I sent their precious baby to the hospital?"

"…Yes," The Hokage answered reluctantly. Several people looked at him with alarm and the old man tiled his hat downwards as everyone continued to gaze at him. "And I will thank you for finding that particular loophole because Iruka was the one that got into trouble for your action. If you hadn't pointed it out then he would have to do drastic action for your idea of punching that girl in the stomach and ripping her hair."

Naruto sighed. "Hey, she wanted to be a kunoichi and being a kunoichi means that you have to be prepared for your opponent to be violent."

It was a dirty tactic but Team C were acting as villains. All Might could count the number of times when a Villain didn't try to act sneaky. The villains who planned ahead and created traps like the one Uzumaki did, were the ones to watch out for. You could never be certain about what their next steps were or what their morals might be.

All Might always felt the most weariest whenever he fought those villains.

"When did they put wires?" Kirishima yelled as Kaminari tripped over the wire in front of the front entrance. A cluster of ping-pong balls shot and smoke erupted from them, enveloping the monitor screen. Nothing could be seen and the only sounds All Might could hear was Jirou screaming and yelling while Kaminari released lightening.

"When it comes to Naruto, you have to think of a thousand plans and possibilities," Shikamaru informed them, shaking his head. He regarded them for a couple of seconds before looking up at the screen. "You can't ever underestimate her even if she acts like a bimbo at times."

"I feel the love and care from you," Naruto said dryly. "If I'm a bimbo then what does that make Ami?"

Shikamaru stared at her. "A bigger bimbo."

Naruto snorted while Kushina and Minato narrowed their eyes at the black-haired teen. This is our thing. She shook her head and darted her eyes at everyone else. Aizawa and her father's family just stared at them like she found the whole interaction between them to be weird. She shook her head and glanced at Todoroki.

He had a frown playing on his lips.

"What?" Naruto asked.

Todoroki stared at her. "He insulted you and you aren't upset…why?"

"Shikamaru isn't being serious," Naruto explained as her eyes rested on the black-haired teen. It hurts maybe a little bit but it isn't as bad as the others. She shook her head and tilted her head to the side. "And we aren't that close anyway and have much interactions, other than being skipping buddies…so you can say that he can't really hurt me."

He frowned. "But it is still a horrible way to describe you when we can clearly see that you aren't really a bimbo. A bimbo is someone that is naïve about the world around them and wear revealing clothes. You don't do that…aren't you hurt?"

We aren't friends so why do I have to tell you how I feel? The words were on the tip of her tongue but then she recalled the fact that the younger boy had been judged by her future self to be an asshole. She should be more open-minded but it was rather difficult. They were strangers so why should she be open?

"Todoroki, we aren't friends," Naruto finally answered. "I'm not going to open up and tell you about my feelings."

Todoroki nodded. "Okay then you will tell me when we become friends."

"…Did you just decide that you are going to be my friend?" Naruto asked. "Shouldn't I have a choice in the matter?"

He hummed. "If I leave it to you then you will never give me a chance."

I don't know whether to scowl or be impress over how quickly he figured me out. She curled her lips into a tiny scowl and blinked when her mother looked at them with faint amusement. Naruto raised an eyebrow at her mother. Kushina only giggled and shook her head before glancing at her father.

Her father stared at Todoroki like he didn't know whether to throttle him or to look amused.

Laughter echoed from the monitor.

"Don't underestimate a master prankster like Boss!" A voice crackled. If All Might had to judge from the sound, he presumed Uzumaki's clone stood just right behind Kaminari. He winced as the boy screamed to Jirou about how he was stuck and how he seemed to have somehow managed to stick himself to the floor.

Uzumaki was giving everyone the unintentional lesson of keeping an eye on their surroundings, because All Might doubt that he wold have considered of making it a lesson.

"It definitely wouldn't be the first lesson," Aizawa commented, shaking his head. The man flickered his eyes at her before moving to the pale-faced students. He took in a deep breath and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm going to have to give All Might a crash course on wording because there is always going to be that one student, who can use the loopholes."

Naruto snapped her fingers. "And here I thought I was the only one who would do that kind of thing! And he told us that we had to capture them! As far as I'm concerned, we did the job required!"

"You did an excellent job and you thought outside of the box," Aizawa praised. Naruto blinked and felt her lips twitched into a smile while the jounins blinked at the black-haired man. Kushina, Minato, Mikoto and Fugaku gazed at him. "But you need to remember that All Might called it a battle trial and that requires for the three of you to fight. The other two need combat training."

The blonde frowned. "He didn't say that it was compulsory for us to fight."

"I know which is why I'm going to give that man a crash course on how to deal with students like you," Aizawa said flatly. "You are the type of person that we consider to be lucky not to be a villain. If you became a Villain then we would find it difficult to put you in jail because you would have planned your attacks weeks ahead of time."

Naruto yawned. "Being a villain is boring! You will be hunted down and then have to go to jail! Nah, being a hero is better because I will get the respect of people and I don't have to worry about being on the run."

Then again no one would expect her to do this. All Might stared at the fading smoke on the monitor and sighed when it revealed the tied up bodies of Jirou and Kaminari. Right beside them were the copies of Uzumaki. He let out a laugh when the clones high-fived each other, grinning wildly and poking their tongues out at the scene.

"They really fought dirty," Tsuyu commented, tilting her head at them.

"Yeah! They didn't even give them a chance to fight! It's unmanly!"

Todoroki frowned. "It's unfair but when you consider the roles that they were given then it would be expected for them to do something like this."

"Thank you, Todoroki for proving my point!" Naruto declared, waving her hands up in the air as a triumphant smirk played on her lips. The boy gazed at her for the longest time before bobbing his head at her. The blonde frowned when the male tilted his head at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Todoroki blinked. "You look pretty when you smirk."

The blonde stared at him for the longest time as her mind went completely blank at those words. Everyone turned around to look at the heterochromatic-haired boy, who remained unfazed at the stares. Did he just call me pretty? She pinched herself while Ino gawked at the younger boy.

"What part—"

"Choose your words wisely," her mother chirped as she cracked her knuckles. Violet eyes burnt with danger and the blond-haired girl gawked at her. "I'm sure Inochi won't have a problem if I discipline his daughter for him."

Ino shut her mouth and wilted while Mikoto curled her lips into a smile. Sasuke gazed at the heterochromatic boy with narrowed eyes and Naruto narrowed her eyes at him. Why is he acting like this? Todoroki hasn't done anything to warrant this behaviour. She rubbed the back of her neck.

"What kind of Villains gives them a chance to attack?" Bakugou added on. "It is a better idea for them to make a trap then give them an opportunity to attack."

Kirishima frowned and innocently asked. "If you knew that then why didn't you do that?"

Bakugou growled. "You wanna die, Spikey?"

"If I had to choose between dying from Bakugou's hand or Naruto then I would pick Bakugou," Kirishima declared. Naruto blinked while Bakugou snorted at those words. The black-haired teen gazed at the screen with cheerful eyes before flashing them a smile. "If I die by Naruto's hand then I can be certain that my death had been quick."

Gaara blinked. "You want a slow death?"

"In battle: yeah!" Kirishima declared with a bob. "If I'm going to die in the battlefield then I want it to be slow because a quick death doesn't seem manly."

Temari stared at him. "It's less painful."

All Might felt his lips twitched as the two boys argued over what Bakugou did in his match. The boy made an astute judgement on the actions done by Uzumaki. He flickered his eyes at Uzumaki, pressing his lips into a subtle frown when the golden rays from the sun hit her blond-hair.

When the girl didn't smile and the sun hit her in that position, All Might could almost see the missing sad boy from 33 years ago standing right before him. Except the boy had been a six-year-old child without a Quirk, while Uzumaki had a very powerful Quirk that seemed to have very little drawbacks.

"In all technicality, I was born without a Kekkei Genkei," Minato said, bobbing his head. He flickered his eyes at Naruto and tilted his head to the side for the longest time. "But maybe Naru-chan got Mom's Quirk. Keisuke died before we could ever find out that you inherited Mom's Quirk or have a mutation because of the Kyuubi's chakra."

Naruto stared at him. "I don't have a Kekkei Genkei. If I had Grams' Kekkei Genkei then could you imagine of the hell that I would have caused the village? I would have stolen stuff and get away with it!"

"You wouldn't be able to get away with it," Narumi informed her, shaking her head. "The effects lasts for a couple hours to a day maximum. I learnt that the hard way when I tried to steal a car because my parents didn't want to buy me a car."

Minato frowned. "You did what? Mitsu-chan did you know—"

"First time I ever heard this," Mitsuki confirmed with a frown. Her grandmother whistled while Naruto and Bakugou exchanged glances as the white-haired woman looked at the scene. "You always said that you were a good, responsible teen! You and Dad grounded me when I came back home the next day after my date! Compared to you, I was a saint!"

"You didn't need to know who I was before I got my act together," Narumi stated, shrugging her shoulders. "I told you of the person that I wish I was, so that you would try to live up to that kind of person. I wanted you to fall short when it came to the fake me and not the real me. If you had a daughter then you would do the same thing."

Mitsuki looked at Kushina. "Kushina, would you—"

"Definitely," Kushina agreed, eyeing Naruto.

"What can all of you take from this?" All Might questioned them, breaking up the argument that was bound to take place. The students quiet down, tilted their heads and mulled over the fight that had taken place.

Iida raised his hand up. "That Villains could prepare traps from the very beginning and so we must fully consider all the parameters before entering their lair?"

"Correct."

"What I took from his lesson is that he doesn't plan his lessons," Yaoyorozu observed. "He didn't really know the point of the lesson."

Aizawa shook his head and darted his eyes to the whistling blond. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the man while everyone else nodded their heads in agreement with Yaoyorozu. What? Yaoyorozu made an excellent point when it comes to that observation. She cracked her knuckles while everyone else exchanged glances.

"While I'm no fan of our symbol of irrationality, Uzumaki did something that not even All Might predicted that a first-year student would do," Aizawa reminded the girl. The black-haired teen nodded and the black-haired male regarded Naruto. "I have a feeling that you are going to be keeping All Might on his toes when it comes to his lessons."

"We are going to find out, aren't we?" Naruto asked.

Also that maybe I should word my sceneries where the students can't do traps like these. I doubt even a professional would have expected a bunch of kids to make a plan like this.

Kaminari and Jirou would have stood a better chance against the three students if All Might made it clear that he expected them to fight with a plan. He should never presume those kids would never find a loophole in his announcement.

"If they were a little bit wet behind the ears then All Might wouldn't have to consider this," Kakashi observed. He flickered his eye to Naruto before looking at the others. "But you should always presume that one of the students was a well-known troublemaker with the tendency of finding ways not to get into trouble."

Naruto stared at him. "I have done nothing wrong with you."

"You came three hours late," Kakashi reminded her. "I told you, Sakura and Sasuke to be there at 7am."

The whiskered teen smiled widely. "But 7am in your time is 10am, so it's natural for me to presume that you wouldn't be anywhere near the training ground until 10am. How was I supposed to know that Sakura was going to tattle on me because she and Sasuke couldn't get their beauty sleep?"

"We waited for three hours for you!" Sakura retorted. "Three whole hours and Sasuke and me had to get you! It is bad enough that Kakashi-sensei was late but you too! It will only be worse if you had taken his habit of reading smut in public."

Kakashi stared at Sakura. "Did you have to say that in front of her parents?"

Sakura blinked and then dropped her jaws when Minato reached out for Kakashi and Jiraiya. Why the hell is he dragging Ero-Sennin to this? The blonde blinked and watched with horror as her father proceeded to drag the two males to the corner of the room. Yells and screams of mercy echoed in the room as her father hit the two males.

The history books portrayed Dad to be gentle but those cries made him seem as violent as Bakugou.

"Where were we?" Her father chirped as he dragged the bruised form of Jiraiya and Kakashi back to their seats. He clapped his hands together and Naruto could only stared wide-eye at her father. He is acting like he didn't beat up those two! He is acting like we are talking about the weather. "Kushina, can you continue?"

Her mother smiled and bobbed her head.

Next time, he would make things fair for them.

"Well that is the end of the chapter," Kushina declared. "Now who wants to read the next chapter?"

Naruto sighed. "I will read it."


A/N: So we have seen the reaction of Naruto's family towards her past. Todoroki is ignoring social cues and decided to blurt out his thoughts. Naruto is beginning to cool down from her anger and we learn who Fugaku has been referring to as the devil and the reason that Mikoto never officially adopted Naruto.

Q1: How would you feel about introducing the Todoroki family in the next interlude?

Q2: How do you think that Naruto is going to react towards the scene between Todoroki and his sister?

Q3: Would you do what Narumi had done and lie to your children about your past?

Do tell me who you want to see next reacting to the story because the next interlude will be after chapter 11. Do tell me of your thoughts on the interaction and reactions of the characters. Do tell me if you actually want to see Todoroki and Naruto develop a similar relationship to the one in Nirvana.
