A time of learning.

"I swear that if you even touch him, I'll..."

"Do nothing.." Fugaku finished for her, as he turned towards the stairs. " Ahhh...are little hero has arrived." Anko turned towards the stairs to see Naruto being dragged down by his throat. She watched as the figure walked towards Fugaku, before turning in her direction and throwing Naruto in front of her.

Naruto looked up at her, water in his eye's, as he noticed her pinned to the wall with so many kunai." Mom! " Naruto yelled, as he got up and tried to pull the kunai out of his mother. Fugaku and the figures smiled, as they watch Naruto struggle to pull out a kunai. Fugaku stepped forward and grabbed Naruto by the throat, making sure to walk slowly back to his spot. He nodded at the to figures, who rushed towards Anko and began to pull kunai out of her. Naruto had a look of relief on his face, only to vanish when They stood Anko up and put a what looked like a jutsu to keep her in place.

Naruto watched as the figures walked away from Anko, before turning towards her hands full of kunai and shurekin. His mother had a blank expression on her face, he knew she would not give them the pleasure of seeing her fear and worry. Anko turned her head towards Naruto, before mouthing the words 'be strong'. The figures prepared to throw, as Naruto watched in horror. If anyone were to look at the side wall, they could see the shadow of a women being pierced by multiply kunai and shurekin, as blood covered the wall a second later.

Naruto shot upwards from his bed, his face covered in sweat. After a few seconds, he looked down at his clock, 11:00 PM. Naruto let out a deep sigh before getting out of his bed and putting his clothes on. He wasn't much for sleep, considering he already knew what he would dream of. He tried not to think about it after all...

When Naruto was done putting his clothes on, he left his bed room. It was a decent sized apartment, having a living room, kitchen,bathroom, and three bed rooms. He made his way silently towards the living room. When he got there, he went towards the coat rack and put on his cloak ( the Akatsuki one ), along with his straw hat. He headed towards the door and opened it, before glancing at his new 'home'. A second later he walked out the door, closing it behind him.

He felt like running tonight...It was the only way he could escape...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That morning, people were shocked to see Hyuuga Hinata practically skipping down the road, with a big smile on her face too. Hinata herself was as happy as she could have ever been...well okay, not really, but she still felt pretty good. She had had a good week, gaining some respect around her household for being able to NOW spar on equal terms with Neji, getting Shino to reduce her admirer count by half...the hard way, and finally getting to see Naruto after all these years. Nothing that day could ruin her mood, nothing at all...

She continued to walk down the road, until she found the apartment she was looking for. It was a nice place in her opinion, considering she always like small house's, compared to the winding maze of a house...err, mansion that she lived in. She sure as hell was clad that Naruto showed her the apartment before they separated yesterday. Hinata continued forward and went towards the door, knocking it a couple times. Yep, nothing could ruin this day...

The door opened slowly to revel... a red haired women looking at Hinata, before the women asked " Who the hell are you?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto walked casually down the streets of konoha, ignoring all the looks he was receiving. Of course he had already taken off his straw hat and red cloak, storing them in a extra scroll. No, he was being started at because of his...birth marks. He wasn't ashamed of them, oh quite the opposite, he wore those marks proudly. The Kyuubi had taken such good care of him after his mother died and he was grateful for it, seeing her as someone he could count on

He figured that the younger generation thought his birthmarks were cool and the older generation were looking at him in disgust. Hey if they didn't like him for what he was or for what he carried, then they could just bite his ass .

Currently, Naruto was on his way to see an old friend of his, one of the people in this village that he knew accepted him. She was one of the people that helped him during the incident. Her being one of the anbu that was still loyal to his family or rather...his father. She was always kind to him, even when her husband was around and personally, he was glad that she was one of the few that Itachi spared

When Naruto arrived at the front door, he knocked a couple of times before it was finally answered. Naruto could not help but show his foxy grin when he saw the warm smile on the woman's face.

" Hello Naruto-kun."

" Hello Mikoto-chan."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" I see...so that's why you here at his apartment." Hinata stated, as Tayuya nodded.

" Yes, I mean, why the hell would I call him Naruto-sensei if I wasn't his student?" asked Tayuya, as Hinata sighed, stood up, and walked towards the door. Tayuya looked at her with a confused expression.

" Going somewhere?"

" I'm going to go find Naruto...I mean that's why I came here in the first place." She said, as she turned her attention to Tayuya. " Coming?"

Tayuya thought for a moment. "Sure, why the hell not?" She replied, as she stood up and also headed towards the door, but not before looking in the direction of the kitchen. " Kyojin, me and Hinata-san are going to go look for Naruto-sensei!" Tayuya shouted.

"Leaving so soon?" asked a voice, as a LARGE man came into the living room. To tell the truth, the guy was as tall as Shino and had muscular body that could make Lee jealous. He didn't bother to were a shirt, not like one could fit that is. He did wear black baggy pants, which was pretty much it, considering that he walked bare footed. He had short black hair, his bangs, however, did come down far enough to cover his glasses. His stance was similar to a primate's, since he walked on all four's or his hind legs, depending on how he felt.

" Yah, you mind taking care of her while I'm gone." Tayuya asked hopefully, as Kyojin thought for a moment, taking in the gain's and lose's.

" Fine." Kyojin said a second later, as a smirk appeared on Tayuya's face.

" Well, have fun then!" Tayuya yelled, as she pushed Hinata out the door and closed behind her, Hinata wondering what Tayuya meant by her. A second later crying could be heard from Tayuya's room, as Kyojin sighed.

" Damn...she's up already" Kyojin then proceeded to Tayuya's room, in hope of stopping the crying...and not having to change her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke walked was having a nice time walking around konoha, well as nice of a time some one could have with about 100 females tailing behind you, attempting to hide themselfs and failing miserably every time you turn to look in their direction. Sasuke was starting to get irritated, but quicky calmed himself down. They'd hopefully would leave him alone until he reached the mansion, and from there on only the more 'desperate' fan girl's would follow.

Don't get him wrong, Sasuke was/ is straight. It's just that when it came to women, he was...picky. Besides, most girls that were in his fan club had either been duped, were desperate, delusional with fantasy's about him, or were just looking for something to take up their spare time...while they stared at his ass. It sure as hell was even more difficult when your mother nagged at you to get off your ass and finally get laid, wanting grandchildren. Sasuke mumbled something about how his mother should stay out of his sexual life...even though she was right.

Speaking of which, he was supposed to meet with his mother about something today. She wouldn't tell him, only saying that it was a surprise and that he was going to like it. He continued to walk towards the Uchiha mansion until he finally reached the door. He took out his keys and unlocked the door, stepping inside and closing the door behind him.

Sasuke the made his way to the living room. When he arrived, he saw his mother siting on the couch across from a stranger who was siting in one of the chairs, both of them were drinking some tea. Sasuke eyed the figures clothing before his mother finally noticed him.

"Oh, your finally home." she said, as she scooted down the couch a bit. " Please come have a seat." his mother said, as her son took a seat beside her, taking a moment to get comfortable. Mikoto cleared her throat.

" Well before we begin lets get the introductions out of the way. This is-."

" Uzumaki Naruto, it's nice to meet you." Naruto said, as Sasuke nodded in confirmation.

" I'm-."

" I already know." Naruto stated, as he took another sip of his tea. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds, before Sasuke spoke up.

" Why are you here?" Sasuke asked, getting straight to the point, as his mother's eyes light up.

" Sasuke, do you remember when you said that you wanted to learn more 'advanced ' weapon skills?" Mikoto asked, as Sasuke nodded slowly, afraid of where this was going."Well, that's part of the surprise." Mikoto seemed a little to full of glee, as she smiled at Sasuke, not a kind smile, but the evil smile that you usual get when your screwed.

" Naruto-kun here...is going to be your new tutor!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hinata and Tayuya walked down the street's of konoah, heading towards the one place that Hinata could think that Naruto would be at around this time. Hell, it wasn't anything new that Naruto was a ramen-fantic, considering that he ate it when ever he could...at least, that was what Tayuya had been telling her for the last hour. Hinata could still remember the first time naruto had taken her to eat at the ramen stand...

( Sorry kiddies, no flashbacks this time.)

Hinata herself was enjoying the time she was spending with Tayuya, since they seemed to have a lot to talk about or at least she WOULD have, if not for the male population of konoah and their...starring. Hinata just ignored them most of the time, since a lot of them thought of her as some piece of meat that could be used then thrown away. Though there were a few exceptions...and that was the male's she already knew. The only time that she wouldn't ignore the other's is when they tried to get...physical. Of course they would be sent through several walls a second later.

When they finally reached the ramen stand, Hinata smiled as she entered to see her cousin was busy eating some ramen. Yes, Hyuuga Neji was eating ramen...and for more reason's then just liking the taste. He would usually eat here around 11:30, that way he could get to have at least one bowl of ramen. Then he could spend time with his girlfriend, who went on her lunch break. It was an odd pairing, a Shinobi prodigy going out with a ramen stand waitress. Then again her sister's crush was even more screwed up, not like she ever told the guy. Beside's, Ayame had been able to change Neji for the better, and for that she was grateful.

Their were other people here, of course. Kakashi and Sakura were also having some ramen, he was probably treating her to lunch for the soul purpose of just doing some bonding with her ,either that or Sakura had some more blackmail on him. Sakura did take after Tsunade when it came to that sort of thing...

As Hinata was busy remembering, Ayame looked up from her work and noticed her. " Hey Hinata-chan!" she yelled, as Hinata came to.

" Hello Ayame-chan." Hinata said, as she looked over at Neji, who was busy eating some ramen. While Kakashi, book in hand, and Sakura turned to face her.

"Yo." Kakashi said, while he kept his eye on the page he was reading in his book. Sakura smiled at Hinata. " How have you been Hinata-chan."

" Just fine." Hinata replied, as Sakura took notice of Tayuya, who had stayed quite the entire time. " Who is she?" She asked, as Hinata looked over at Tayuya.

" This is Tayuya-san, she was traveling with Naruto-kun." Hinata said, as Ayame froze at Naruto's name, while Neji spit out his ramen...thankfully not on his girlfriend. Hinata realized her mistake a second later. " Oh shit."

There was an a tense silence in the room, as Ayame stood there, starring at Hinata as if she weren't telling the truth. She continued to stare at Hinata for a few moments before speaking. " Is...he really here...?' She asked Hinata.

" Yes he is." Hinata replied, as Ayame thought for a moment, while looking downwards. Everyone but Sakura stared at her with sympathy. Ayame was like a sister to Naruto, or at least in her opinion, and was probably hurt at the fact that she knew nothing off his return.

" Then why the HELL HASN'T HE COME BY TO VISIT! THAT LAZY BASTARD! " Everyone face fronted, as Ayame walked up to Neji, grabbed him by the arm, and dragged his poor ass out the door.

"Where are we going." Everyone could here Neji ask.

"To Find Naruto, what do you think!"

" But, what about my-."

" You can have some more later. Now come o-!" A large explosion could be heard, as everyone in the ramen stand hesitated, before rushing out to see what had happened. As soon as they were outside the noticed the large cloud of smoke. Tayuya looked over at Hinata.

" I bet you 20 bucks that Naruto-sensei's pissed someone off." She said, as Hinata thought for a moment, before sighing.

" Fine." and with that, they were off in that direction. Neji having to carry Ayame all the way...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little while before-

" Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu."

Sasuke shot another giant fireball at Naruto, only for it to hit it's target this time. Sasuke was hovering in the air a bit, since he jumped a little to high. He wondered what the hell made his mother think this guy could teach him anything. All well, it doesn't matter now that he is a flaming plie of ash.

" Naruto-kun! What ever you do, don't kill Sasuke-kun!" Mikoto called out from the sidelines, As Sasuke looked at her confusedly.

" Didn't I just kill h-." Sasuke's thought's were caught off, when he saw two waves of kunai flying from the fireball. Sasuke pulled out a kunai and deflected as many as he could, while dodging the rest. When he landed on the ground, Naruto shot out of the fireball, as the flames finally went out. Naruto tried to slash Sasuke with his own kunai, while Sasuke blocked it.

" No promise's Mikoto-chan." Stated Naruto, as he pushed and tried to slash him with the kunai. Sasuke jumped back at the slash then charged towards Naruto. Their kunai met, as Sasuke pushed Naruto pack and dried to slash him. Naruto bended backwards avoiding the kunai. Sasuke then brought the kunai back and tried to stab Naruto, as he did a back flip to dodge it. When Naruto landed a second later, Sasuke aimed his kunai low and slashed downwards, as Naruto jumped into the air, while throwing a wave of kunai at him.

Sasuke deflected the kunai, as he shot another katon at Naruto, who just simply moved out of the way, while he formed some seals.

"Doton: Rikujou Ba-suto."

Naruto's fist struck the ground, as it split open and dirt shot up into the sky, forming a HUGE dust cloud. Naruto looked at what the dirt was, and raised an eyebrow. When the cloud finally settled, Sasuke could be seen in the middle of it in a defensive stance, ready for anything...well almost anything.

" Hey Sasuke-kun, why do you haveblack-as-ash dirt underneath the ground?" Naruto asked, as he held up a handful of the dirt. As Sasuke looked at him like he was crazy.

"Um...that is ash your holding up." Sasuke stated, as Naruto shook his head.

" No, it may be blackish, but it's still dirt. It's even got some chakra residue on it." Naruto stated, as he moved his sleeve up to revel a wristband. He opened up a compartment on the wristband and typed some things into the buttons. Before aiming it at the dirt and spraying something on it, causing it to glow green as second later. Of course Sasuke had know clue what was going on.

" See there's still some left on it, The dirt was probably used to make a bunshin." Naruto said, as he examined the dirt. While Sasuke continued to stare at the pile of dirt in disbelief, before turning towards his mother.

" You knew about this didn't you? " Sasuke asked, as Mikoto just balanced on the balls of her feet.

" Maaayyybe." Mikoto said, as Sasuke's eye started to twitch.

" If the damn fangirls weren't dead, Then why the hell did you force me to write those's letters!...And how DO they know how to make bunshin's, most of them are civilians!" Sasuke yelled, as his mother turned her attention towards him.

"One, I needed away to make you think that you had 'succeeded' in killing them, even though the letters kind of back fired since the girls thought they were something else. As for the other one, I taught them how to make bunshin's." Mikoto stated, as Sasuke looked at her in shock. " What? Did you REALLY think I would let you get away with MURDER. You remind me so much of your father..." Mitoko said, as she thought about him.

" Ahh...so you mean there both dumbass's?" Naruto said, as he stood up, wiping the dust off of him. Sasuke's eye twitched, as he turned to face him. Sasuke drew out a katana and charged at Naruto, attempting to slash him. Naruto moved back, as he dodged the blade. Sasuke then swung the blade at Naruto, as he ducked, dodging it. Sasuke pulled his sword back, and attempted to stab Naruto, who jumped up into the air and landed on the very tip of the blade.

Sasuke growled, as he swung the blade away hoping that Naruto would be caught off guard. Naruto jumped high into the air and hovered a bit, looking down at Sasuke with a bored expression. Sasuke glared at him, before his face formed into a smirk.

"Let's see you handle this!" Sasuke thought, as he began to form some seals.

" Katon: Furea-arashi." Sasuke yelled, as three BIG ass tornados shot out of the ground, them forming a triangle around Sasuke. Naruto's eye's widened as the tornado's came together to form a even larger tornado. Naruto quickly thought of something only to sigh a second later.

" Looks like I'll have to use it, damn and I wanted to show Hinata-chan first." Naruto though, as he focused on the Chakra moving in his system, while beginning to spin rapidly.

"Hakke Shou Kaiten!" Naruto yelled, as he spun at a insane speed, while a blue barrier appeared around his body. As soon as the furea connected with the kaiten, it was immediately stopped and pushed back towards the earth, while the kaiten itself fell to the ground. When it was just seven feet off the ground, the kaiten and Furea tried to over power one another, only to result in a large explosion...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hinata, Tayuya, and the others arrived at the scene. Everyone looked to see Naruto starring down at Sasuke , who had collapsed to the ground. Tayuya held out her hand, as Hinata mumbled something. Before reaching into her pockets, pulling out a 20, and handing it to Tayuya, who had

a big smile on her face. Sakura looked at Naruto not only in aww, but also with...interest.

" Kakashi-sensei, who is that guy." Sakura asked, as Kakashi looked up from his book.

" Oh, him? He's going to be your new teammate."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authir: yes I did keep the original team, for the soul fact that I thought it would be interesting to see Naruto be on the same team as the people whose clans tried to kill them.

Another thing, The fangirl thing was SUPPOSE to be a long term joke, which I dragged out for two or three, but seeing as how some people found it creep. I don't think i'll be doing anymore, anytime soon.

And finally, no Naruto can not use the Hyuuga fighting style, only the special tech's like 64-hands or kaiten.
