Yeah, I was gone longer than I had expected...I thought I had posted Chapter 3 already...but I didn't...and that came to me as a huge surprise...so after a month or so...I'm going to post this chapter and another chapter after this =] !...im trying a new theory on my Namikaze Naruto story and Im remaking the next few chapters ((so thats why ive been gone awhile)) and the next chapter you have got to tell me if you like the old version, or the new version!

An awesome question that an anonymous user named 'Daimon' had asked ((and btw...that my little step-brothers name and my step-brother is FINE! XD))"I can only access the first two chapters and you say that you are already working on chapter 11.I am very confused. Are you talking about a other story or have you just forgotten post the chapters 3
to 10?"

And heres my answer! Hope your reading this Daimon! Its on purpose you can only access 2 of the chapters ((now 3)) because I had planned on giving myself quite a bit of time to get a few chapters typed before I had reached the current chapter I am typing. I never forgot, it was just on purpose XD

Sorry for the EXTREMELY LONG A/N! READ ON!

(((((Chapter 3)))))

Naruto still had his head tilted in thought until Minato laid a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Like what Naruto?"

"We talked about power and bloodthirst. How if I just listen to him, he could make me more powerful. He said that I could be the most powerful Nin in the world." Naruto tried to keep a straight face. "And I thought it was a pretty good idea so I agreed."

Kakashi gasped, Kyuubi laughed, and Minato screamed at that last statement.

"N-n-naruto." Was all Kakashi could say before Naruto snapped and started to laugh his Kyuubi-Naruto laugh.

'Naruto' Kyuubi laughed, 'That was the best joke ever told in my book!'

"I bet!" Naruto laughed aloud.

With that said Minato realized that Naruto was talking to the Kyuubi and fainted. Kakashi struggled to keep a grip on reality.

Naruto ripped off his hospital blankets and jumped off the bed. "Kakashi make sure to tell dad that, that last few words was a joke a'ight?"

Kakashi nodded meekly and wondered what they really talked about. Naruto walked out of the hospital and started to run towards the academy.

((((( At The Academy )))))

"Has anybody seen Naruto?" Iruka asked worrying about his half little-brother.

He received silence until Naruto burst through the door panting.

"Am I late sensei?" Naruto asked as he took his usual seat between Kiba and Hinata.

"Well…" Iruka glanced at the hitai-ates on his desk. "The exam hasn't started yet so I guess no."

'Great kit we're not late.' Kyuubi cheered.

Naruto gave his trademark grin outwardly and scratched the back of his neck.

"Alright…let's get this exam started." Iruka said before sitting behind his desk.

Iruka picked up his clip board, "Alright first up is Shino."

Shino walked casually up to Iruka's desk.

"Ok now create me 3 clones."

Shino preformed the necessary hand seals and in two puffs of smoke exact copies of Shino appeared.

"Great Shino!" Iruka congratulated and handed Shino a hitae-ate.

As Shino slipped on his headband and walked back to his desk; 5 people had received hitae-ates when Naruto was called.

"Naruto." Iruka called from his desk.

'Oh no Kyuu, what do I do?' Naruto asked Kyuubi frantically.

''Just walk up to the desk and I'll guide you through the rest' Kyuubi reassured.

"Naruto?" Iruka looked up from his clipboard.

Naruto shakily got out of his chair and slowly made his way up to Iruka's desk.

Iruka watched Naruto with an eyebrow raised, "Ok…create me three clones."

'Alright kit, perform the hand seals and focus all of your chakra into that last hand seal, 'n' I'll do the rest.' Kyuubi instructed.

Naruto nodded before he rapidly preformed 10 hand seals and focused his chakra into the last 'ox' seal. Naruto's whisker marks grew more defined and in three puffs of red smoke three shadow clones stood before Iruka. Each Naruto, except the real one, had eyes that were black slitted with a red pupil.

Everybody in the room stared into the shadow clones red eyes.

'Hmm...shadow clones. I wonder who taught him that.' Iruka wondered.

Iruka handed Naruto a hitae-ate and Naruto snapped his fingers. The shadow clones disappeared in another puff a red smoke. Noticing that everybody was staring at him, Naruto chuckled sheepishly and tied his hitae-ate around his forehead. He quickly slipped into his usual seat and lowered his head.

'What's wrong kit? You passed.' Kyuubi asked curiously.

'I know but why was everybody looking at me like that?'

'Well…I pulled a few strings and turned your regular clones into shadow clones.'

'But Kyuu, nobody in the classroom nobody really knows the difference between shadow clones and regular clones.'

'Alright kit, I used a genjutsu to turn your shadow clones eyes to look like my eyes.' Kyuubi admitted.

'Really?!' Naruto asked starting to fidget in his seat.

'Uh…yeah?' Kyuubi asked, nervous about what Naruto was going to think about it.

'That so awesome Kyuu! I must have looked so cool! I really wish I could have eyes that look like yours!' Naruto yelled ecstatically in his mind.

'Seriously?'

'Yup.' Naruto grinned outwardly and inwardly.

Iruka went through the rest of the list watching Naruto carefully. Every so now and then Naruto would smile, grin, and/or chuckle.

Almost everybody passed the genin exams and currently the trio of friends was just walking outside of the Academy.

"I hope I get to be on my best'est friends team ever!" Naruto yelled while slinging his arms around Kiba and Hinata's shoulders.

'I hope so too kit.' Kyuubi murmured loud enough for Naruto to hear.

" Aww really Naruto-kun? " Hinata asked.

"Yup." Naruto asked as Akamaru jumped on top of Naruto's head and barked loudly.

"Akamaru asks 'Am I one of your best'est buddies?'" Kiba translated while Akamaru whined.

"Of course Akamaru, why not?" Naruto replied.

Akamaru barked hysterically while licking Naruto's forehead rapidly. The trio walked home in a comfortable. Hinata was dropped of first, then Kiba and Akamaru, and Naruto walked home in silence while chatting lightly with the Kyuubi.

Naruto was almost home when he was stopped in his tracks by 3 smoke bombs. Konoha ninjas and villagers stepped out of the smoke. Almost every person held a weapon which varied from double-bladed kunais to wooden planks.

"It's finally time for you to die demon." One of the villagers said.

"Demon?" Naruto asked.

"Heh . " Was all the villager said before he was smashed upside the head with a wooden plank. Then Naruto saw black.

((((()))))

Naruto woke up in the sewer that led to Kyuubi. He heard snarls, banging, and colourful words being flown from Kyuubi.

Naruto walked to the Kyuubi's cage as multiple cuts and bruises started to form all over his body. He started to run and as soon as he could he latched onto Kyuubi's giant paw that was sticking out of the cage.

"Kyuu-onii-san, please make it stop." Naruto panted as a large gash formed on Naruto's left cheek.

Kyuubi bent down and licked the gash on Naruto's cheek and it almost instantly healed. Kyuubi's 9 tails whipped the cage sides, creating loud booms and bangs; the torches rattled on the cage walls.

Naruto clutched a fist-full of fur as an invisible force uppercutted Naruto's chin. Naruto buried up face in orange fur as he let out another ear-splitting scream.

Kyuubi roared loudly at the pain that Naruto was going through. Naruto screamed one last time and his grip on Kyuubi's fur lessened.

Kyuubi sighed thankfully, "It's all over kit." He reassured as he surrounded Naruto with a veil of red chakra, healing all of his wounds.

Questions about what I had tried to explain in the top part of my chapter will be explained in the next chapters A/N but be prepared to read two versions of the same chapter!
