Chapter 24 – Furry Little Secret

Naruto, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shizune and Tonton were finally nearing the Leaf village.

'So we're almost there. You're not planning on running away now are you Tsunade?' Teased Jiraiya.

'She couldn't if she tried pervy sage because she knows I would drag her right back.' Stated Naruto cockily.

'Watch it brat I am the Hokage now which means you have to follow my orders and give me respect.' Growled Tsunade.

'HAHA oh Tsunade that will never happen, he was so respectful to the Third that he called him old man.' Laughed Jiraiya.

Tsunade looked disbelievingly at Naruto but saw he looked very upset.
Tsunade punched Jiraiya over the head which caused him to become lodged into the ground.

The walk to the gate, after Jiraiya dislodged himself from the ground, was done in complete silence. The guards at the gate were shocked when they saw Tsunade but nonetheless let them in quickly.

'I'll see you guys later.' Said Naruto before he quickly jumped away.

'GRR Jiraiya you need to know when not to speak.' Growled Tsunade which caused Jiraiya to cower under her glare.

-line break-

Naruto walked around for a while before he found himself at the memorial stone.

"Old man. Why did you have to die?" Thought Naruto.

'Come on kit stop brooding. Everyone has to die one day. It is the only and inevitable constant of life. Also fixating on death won't bring those who died back.' Rationalised Kurama.

"Still it hurts. The cold hard reality that I won't ever see him again." Admitted Naruto.

'Then what should you do? Brood and cry or get stronger so you never lose anyone again unless there was absolutely no way for them to be saved?' asked Kurama.

Naruto thought about what Kurama said and realised there was only one correct response.
'I will get stronger to make sure none of my precious people are harmed again.' Declared Naruto before he went to train, never noticing a purple haired ANBU had been in the nearby trees.

-line break-
Tsunade had healed Kakashi and broken the bad news to Guy about Lee and the chances of him ever being a ninja again. She was walking around the Kage tower before a small person charged straight into her bosom.
Konohamaru had charged up the stairs and into the tower after hearing that there already was a Fifth Hokage before he slammed into something soft.

"Wow it's so soft and warm. It reminds me of my baby blanket." Thought Konohamaru before snapping back into reality.

Konohamaru jumped back and pointed at the lady he bumped into.

'What pipsqueak?' Asked Tsunade mockingly.

'Who are you?' Demanded Konohamaru.

Before Tsunade could answer Shizune called 'Lady Tsunade there you are.'

'Ugh what now Shizune?' Whined Tsunade.

'Now lady Tsunade as the new Hokage you need to familiarize yourself with the ninja roster.' Reprimanded Shizune.

'WAIT you're the new Hokage!' Shouted Konohamaru.

'Hmm yeah what's it to you pipsqueak?' Asked Tsunade in curiosity.

'NO it's too soon for a new Hokage! My grandfather was everything to this village!' Shouted Konohamaru before he ran past Tsunade and Shizune and found a room to lock himself in.

'Well, that was weird.' Commented Tsunade before she walked off with Shizune following.

Three hours later

-line break-

'Naruto you have to come help.' Shouted Moegi who found Naruto walking to the Kage tower. Moegi wore goggles like Naruto did previously. She had orange hair tied up, with red elastics, into two very large pigtails. She also had red oval markings on her cheeks. She wore a red tank-top over a pink t-shirt layered at the bottom; her pants were grey and she wore the traditional ninja sandals.

'Why what's wrong?' Asked Naruto curiously.

'Konohamaru has locked himself inside the Kage tower.' Said Moegi.

'Don't worry leave it to me.' Said Naruto.

With Konohamaru

-line break-

Konohamaru had set up heaps of traps and barricaded himself into a room.
'My grandfather made this village and without him it's nothing. I won't let anyone forget him.' Mumbled Konohamaru.

'Hey Konohamaru open up in there.' Shouted Naruto.

'GO AWAY!' Shouted Konohamaru.

'*sigh* I guess if you won't come out I'll just have to come in.' Said Naruto.

'JUST TRY IT! I rigged the whole place with traps you are not getting in.' Said Konohamaru.

'*sigh* Transform.' Said Naruto lazily as he turned into a tiny white mouse.

Mouse Naruto crawled under the gap in the door and warily looked around. He noticed a lot of ninja wire and a few explosive tags.

"Was he trying to kill himself?" Wondered Naruto.

Mouse Naruto scurried onto the explosive tag and injected some chakra into it using his white tail. He then jumped onto a wire and unhooked it from where it was tied without breaking it so all the stuff that would have fallen remained where it was while the trap was deactivated. Lastly he jumped onto another wire nearby which had kunai attached to it. He quickly bit the wire causing all the kunai to fall. Konohamaru was startled by the kunai falling and then by the puff of smoke.

'Game over Konohamaru.' Said Naruto as he released the transformation. "Man mice have it hard." Thought Naruto.

'Now Konohamaru, any reason you locked yourself in here?' Asked Naruto as he sat down in front of him.

'WHY!' Shouted Konohamaru but a stern glance from Naruto made him lower his voice.

'It's because grandpa is dead and soon everyone will forget all about him.' Said Konohamaru sadly.

'Tell me Konohamaru, do you know who the First, Second and Fourth Hokage are?' Asked Naruto cryptically.

'Uh yeah but what does that have to do with anything?' Asked Konohamaru confused at the change in topic.

'Well if you know who the Fourth is who died fifteen years ago and the First and Second who died almost a century ago, why would anyone forget the old man?' Said Naruto.

Konohamaru thought about it and realised that Naruto did have a point and that if the other Hokage were remembered why wouldn't they remember the third.

'Ok Naruto, I get it. Sorry for yelling at you by the way.' Apologised Konohamaru.

'It's alright, remember I knew the old man as well and I know it hurts, but you know he wouldn't want people moping around. If anything he would want us to train and become stronger and carry on the will of fire.' Said Naruto passionately.

'Wow boss. Alright I will become the strongest ninja in the village.' Proclaimed Konohamaru.

'Sure. Hey you know what Konohamaru meet me at training ground seven in an hour and I'll teach you a killer move.' Said Naruto.

Konohamaru nodded and they both got up to leave. As Naruto opened the door a fist came flying at his face. Naruto barely got his hands up in time, which he reinforced with chakra to prevent him from going straight through the wall and instead only got slammed into it.

'Well I never realised those grandma cracks got to you so bad Tsunade.' Said Naruto after he pulled himself out of the wall.

Tsunade was gobsmacked that Naruto wasn't sent flying from her strength.

'H-how did you survive that?' Asked Tsunade.

'Ah you wound me grandma, didn't I say underestimating me would get you killed one day.' Mocked Naruto.

Tsunade growled and ran straight at Naruto with her fist raised before abruptly stopping, grabbing a medical book to her right and leaving, which shocked Naruto.

'Damn she tricked me!' Shouted Naruto which prompted Tsunade who was still in the hallway and within hearing distance to laugh.

-line break-

Naruto after starting Konohamaru on the first stage of the Rasengan was now going around trying to find the Hidden Leaf twelve as he decided to tell them that he housed the Kyuubi.

'Are you sure they will be able to handle it kit?' Asked Kurama.

"Well I have been surprised before by people and these guys are my friends and teammates so I guess they should be able to handle it. I hope." Thought Naruto uncertainly.

-line break-

Naruto had tracked down all of them and asked them to meet him at training ground seven. They all arrived after a while and looked around confused at seeing each other before Naruto dropped down from a tree.

'Um hey guys thanks for coming.' Started Naruto uncertainly.

'Hey what are we doing here Naruto? After you asked me to come to a training ground I thought you wanted a spar. I guess that isn't the case.' Said Kiba.

'Well uh yeah it's not for a spar.' Said Naruto which prompted Lee to groan as he had similar thoughts to Kiba.

'Ok but first before I tell you guys what I want to say I have something to show you.' Said Naruto as he pulled out a kunai and a sealing scroll.

'What am I holding?' Asked Naruto which caused everyone to stare at him.

After a while of confused staring Lee responded 'You are holding a kunai and a scroll.'

'True now if I do this.' Said Naruto as he sealed the kunai into the scroll which he then picked up again. 'What is it now?'

'It is a scroll with a kunai inside.' Responded Tenten unsure of what he was getting at.

'Has the scroll become the kunai?' Asked Naruto.

'Troublesome.' Said Shikamaru as he had an idea of what Naruto was going to tell them.

'We're not stupid Naruto we know it's still just a scroll.' Replied Ino getting annoyed.

Naruto chuckled to himself and thought "If only the rest of the village realised that."

'Ok then. Now that you all got that I will move on to why I called you here.' Said Naruto.

Shikamaru yawned and decided to sit down against a tree and close his eyes.

'Wake up Shikamaru!' Shouted Ino.

'*sigh* Troublesome blonde woman, I already know what he is going to say.' Said Shikamaru prompting raised eyebrows from the Genin and an understanding glance from Naruto.

'Well?' Prompted Naruto.

'You're still Naruto.' Said Shikamaru which caused Naruto to smile.

'Huh?' Said Sakura who had no idea what was going on.

'Neji do you remember what you saw in the forest? Specifically when the Sound team attacked us?' Asked Naruto ignoring Sakura's unintelligent response.

'Yes Uchiha had demonic purple wisps of chakra while you had demonic red wisps.' Said Neji.

'Very astute.' Replied Naruto which caused many to gape in disbelief at his using of the word astute.

'Lastly do you all know the story of the Nine-Tailed Fox?' Asked Naruto.

They all nodded knowing the story.

'Sure the Fourth used a jutsu which he used to kill the Nine-Tailed Fox in exchange for his life.' Said Choji which prompted many to nod but Naruto didn't.

'Well not exactly.' Said Naruto.

'Huh.' Said most of them except for Shikamaru, Sasuke, Neji and Hinata.

'Now before I tell you this you need to know this is an S-class secret and telling anyone about this is grounds for execution.' Said Naruto seriously.

'W-why c-can you-u t-talk about it then?' Stuttered Hinata.

'Well it relates directly to me so I'm allowed to speak about it. So can you all keep a secret?' Asked Naruto getting nods from all.

'Ok.' Said Naruto as he took in a deep breath and exhaled before continuing.

'The truth is the Fourth couldn't kill the fox as it is a mass of chakra with no physical form only will and as such couldn't be killed. Knowing this, the Fourth came up with a jutsu which he knew could keep the fox from destroying the village but in exchange for his life. Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal that's what he used to take the spirit of the fox and seal it away. However he needed a special object to seal the fox into. Being the strongest of the tailed beasts with the greatest amount of chakra he could only use a newborn baby whose chakra coils were not fully developed.' Finished Naruto.

All of them, minus Shikamaru and Shino, were confused at why he stopped there.

'So what does that have to do with you?' Asked Kiba.

'Do any of you know when my birthday is?' Asked Naruto.

Many of the looked down in shame not knowing when his birthday was.

'*sigh* It's October tenth.' Said Shikamaru with his eyes closed.

Once again everyone except for Shikamaru and Shino were confused by this.

'Lastly, when did the fox attack the village?' Asked Naruto as he closed his eyes.

'October.' Begun Sasuke.

'Tenth.' Finished Sakura in a stunned tone of voice.

There was a collective silence before Tenten spoke.

'So?' Asked Tenten.

'Huh.' Said Naruto as he opened his eyes.

'So what, like Shikamaru said you're still Naruto.' Said Tenten.

Shino nodded before speaking 'You have a similar burden to the Aburame and you have my acceptance if I have yours.'

'Of course Shino.' Said Naruto with a smile.

'You were cursed with a seal like me and didn't let it define you. You truly are the greater man Naruto.' Said Neji.

'I guess this explains why you are so strong.' Said Sasuke.

'Well actually the fox doesn't help me with...' Begun Naruto before Sasuke cut him off.

'No I meant mentally. You had the worst odds from the very beginning and never let it consume you. You stayed sane and didn't embrace the darkness even though you were thrown into it; instead you conquered it and became stronger.' Explained Sasuke.

'Thanks Sasuke.' Said Naruto with a heartfelt smile.

'So none of you have a problem with this?' Asked Naruto.

'No Naruto it would be most unyouthful to blame someone for something they had no control over.' Said Lee who everyone agreed with despite his mention of youth.

'Thanks guys this means a lot.' Said Naruto.

All of a sudden there was a massive explosion near the front gate which was caused by a gigantic purple snake appearing and demolishing the front gate.

Orochimaru stood on top of the snake, smirking and had only one thing to say.
'I hope the Leaf is ready to play.'

Ok it is shorter than the last but it is my first chapter back so I'm still getting back into it. Now the reason I ended here is because the poll has been brutal. At the start it looked like all the sound five were going to die, with the exception of Tayuya of course, but then out of nowhere Kimimaro came bursting out of the polls and had me thinking wow he's going to make it. Then once again an abrupt turn of events in which they both tied the (none and Kimimaro option) so now I leave the choice to the reviews. If I get 5 asking for Kimimaro to stay with a good reason why i.e. a pairing or a reason for him to be loyal to the leaf, or Naruto etc he lives. Or 5 asking for him to be killed off (once again need reasons) and he dies.

Secondly this is now the moment you have all been waiting for... your choices for the last girl in the harem are now open so in your review also mention who you want the last person to be and I will add them to the poll which will remain open for a LOOOONG time.

Lastly please tell me how I did.
Also it seems that everyone hates Jirobo... any reason why I would like to know.
