Naruto walked calmly into the training ground that his team had recently had their bell test in. He knew at this time that his mo- no, she lost the right to be his mother when she denied him her motherly love. Naruto knew that Kushina was probably talking to Minato about the bell test along with all of the other jounin. He didn't care. Plus, he was going to be ready for the questions that his birth parents were going to ask him soon. Naruto didn't care. He knew that his parents didn't have enough evidence for them to force him to do anything. And even if they did, as previously stated, they didn't have enough evidence to back Naruto into a corner so they could get answerers from him. Naruto always covered his tracks. It didn't matter if a few nameless jounin ended up mysteriously missing.

Hokage's office.

"Team 1 fail." "Team 2 fail." "Team 3 fail." Many jounin gave their report, most teams made purely of civilian students failed. Kakashi's team of Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and a branch family member of the Uchiha clan passed.(Uchiha massacre didn't happen because I don't feel like making Naruto kick Sasuke's ass. Though, I'll probably have Naruto kick his ass anyway.) Kurenai's team of Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburama had all passed. Asuma's team of Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akamchi, and Ino Yamanaka passed as well. All Jounin looked to Kushina, eager to know if the demon containers had passed. "Team 7 Pass. I request to stay behind and talk to you, Hokage-Sama." "Request granted. That is all." Every but Minato and Kushina left the room, all interested in what was going to be said between the couple. Though, only Kurenai, Asuma, and Kakashi actually attempted to listen, eager to get in some juicy details.

"Now, what do you have to tell me, Kushina-hime?" Minato questioned, leaning forward. Kushina sighed heavily. "I would've failed that team…" Kushina began, shocking those listening as well as Minato. How could the most trained and most successful pair of genin possibly fail? Even if it was Kushina they had to go against, Jounin were required to hold back and not use any actual jutsu. So, how could they possibly fail? "Tsuni and Karuni were working as a team, but Naruto was seemingly doing nothing." Minato and the listeners nodded at this. Naruto was an average student, do perhaps he got frightened and didn't try? "Seemingly. He was most likely the main reason the girls managed to get the bells. I just don't know how he did it. I didn't even see him move, much less cast any jutsu or genjutsu. But I know the girls didn't get the bells." Kushina explained, causing Minato to rub his chin in confusion.

"Tell me exactly what happened, don't take out any details." Minato told Kushina, going into full Hokage-mode. So Kushina explained the entire test to Minato, going into extra detail about Tsuni going for the bells. Kushina explained how she pivoted to the point where Tsuni couldn't get anywhere near the bells with her current training. Minato and the listeners nodded their heads. Someone did interfere with the test. But the only people there were Naruto and the twins. Meaning that Naruto had interfered. But, the real question was, How?

Namikaze residence.

Naruto was meditating calmly in his room, feeling for the natural energy around him. Kodachi had informed him that the closer he was to nature, the less pain he would feel when he and Kodachi fully merged. Naruto could feel the individual oxygen molecules in the air. Naruto could feel the heat in everything around him for a good mile or so. And he could feel four very familiar heat signatures in the lower level of his home. Using the oxygen in the air, and the heat in the wires around his house from the electricity, Naruto created a small fire to listen in on their conversation.

"Do you girls remember seeing your brother do anything strange during the bell test?" Minato questioned his little pair of beloved heroes. Both shook their heads to say "No". Naruto narrowed his eyes. Leave it to his idiot parents to ask his sisters if he did something. As if they would notice something two Kage-level shinobi wouldn't! Naruto cut off the flames, fearing that his brain would melt from the stupidity of his family. Still meditating, Naruto could feel his Father's heat signature moving up to his room. And sure enough, Naruto door opened.

Naruto didn't move out of his meditation pose, not even opening his eyes. "Yes Father?" Naruto questioned in fake kindness, noticing how Minato's strict pose relaxed at the kindness in Naruto's voice. 'Idiot. He can't even figure out that you're faking it when he's supposed to be the best Hokage Konoha has ever seen? Bull. I remember that The Shodai Hokage could take on the 9-tails on his own, without needing any summons. While he did have the Mokuton, so what. And how the hell-' Naruto cut off Kodachi's mental rant. Naruto knew what he was going to say anyway. 'How the hell can the "Best Hokage ever" not have perfected his two jutsu by now? It's been Twelve years! Lazy ass.' Naruto agreed. It took the blonde boy 3 weeks to master both jutsu, and then another month to perfect them. Now, Kodachi helped of course, but he still did it.

"Naruto, I know you did something during the bell test. Why would you hide your abilities from your family? And even that out of the picture, why would you hide your abilities from your sensei?" Minato demanded, trying to seem angry. Naruto didn't move, or open his eyes. Minato wasn't worth that. He instead answered quietly. "Because I have no abilities. So there is nothing for me to hide. After all," Naruto got up slowly as he spoke, before opening his eyes slowly and smiling a clearly fake and forced smile to his Father. "My Sisters are the Heroes of Konoha Right? I'm just the stupid Dobe of the Namikaze family. The failure who can't do anything. A boy who is unfit to be born from the Yondaime." Naruto spoke, staring right into his Father's shocked eyes. "A boy who can't amount to anything!" Naruto nearly yelled, but calmed down and got back into his meditation pose.

"Now, Hokage-sama, please leave my room." Naruto spoke through grit teeth. It took all of his self-control, plus Kodachi's reassuring, to not let Kodachi take control to just utterly destroy his family, Konoha included. But he wouldn't do that. He wanted to savor the feeling of Konoha falling beneath him. In shambles. Buildings lit ablaze. Cries all around him. While that idea appealed to him, it also hurt him. He didn't want to hurt people. He wanted to save people. Naruto began panicking again. Like the time he nearly killed that Anko Mitarashi chick. Naruto's meditation was faltering, and his calm was breaking.

Minato had long since left Naruto's room, gently closing the door. That was good. Naruto didn't want his family to see his panic attacks. They didn't happen frequently, but when they did happen, it was bad. Naruto gripped his sides, his right hand gripping his left side and his left hand gripping his right side. His breathing was labored and wheezy. His thoughts were clouded and he couldn't find Kodachi in his mind. He was struggling a lot. His feet were digging into the ground, shoving his face into the floor. He didn't have control. His body was going crazy. Naruto was breathing very loudly.

He gripped his desk, attempting to pull himself up. He failed, falling down and gripping the handle to the drawer in his desk. He pulled it, thinking he could pull himself up with it. Instead, it pulled open, spewing the contents all over his room. Through a hazy eye, he could see his many drawings of Phoenix's. Once he met Kodachi, he had stopped drawing. After all, he could see a real Phoenix whenever he wanted. But, there was one drawing that caught his eye, making his panic attack even worse. It was during one of his darker days. His arm was aching horribly from one of the worst beatings he had ever endured. There were knives, pitchforks, machetes, kunai, anything that they could get through his flesh. He drew the drawing while pulling a kunai out of the arm he was drawing with. The lines were shaky and sloppy, the color was sometimes out of the lines, but it still held more meaning than any other drawing.

It was a drawing of Konoha burning underneath the gaze of a powerful Phoenix. There were tear stains on the drawing in a few places, showing Naruto's emotional pain during the drawing. And some of the red was smeared and dried, making Naruto remember that he had used his own blood to color in the redder parts of the drawing. Naruto looked past the drawing, seeing the pillow with a fist-sized hole burnt through it hidden behind his desk. This served to further worsen his panic attack. Naruto started rolling around, fire sprouting and going out randomly on equally random parts of his body.

A white flame spewed dangerously out of Naruto elbow, before diminishing. A harmless yellow flame gently licked the air from his Big toe, before going out. Then, Naruto tried to scream to the heavens. But, his chest heaved up. All that he succeeded in doing was spewing out a lethal amount of white flame, all over his room.

Yes I know… The panic attack was a little strange. I just didn't want Naruto to seem like a heartless and cold bastard like Sasuke. The panic attack was also supposed to deepen Naruto's character, you know, add more emotion to him. Naruto is deathly afraid of harming innocent people, which conflicts with his hate for Konoha. And yes, I also know that this is a very short chapter. I'm sorry, I'd write more but I've got stuff to do today.

Now, I made a little bit of a mistake. I've made Naruto hate Konoha a little too much. So, I will leave a choice up to you all. I can A: Do a different pairing or B: I have no idea. So uh, yea… Vote, I guess?...
