Hey guys, I'm back with the third chapter. I said I would try to update two chapters a day, so here's the second one! And if I didn't I'm saying it now!

Alright, so let's take a look! And please, remember to review!

Disclaimer: Fan- Oh my god, you're so awesome, why can't Naruto be like this?

Me: Cuz I don't own it.

Chapter 3:

Angels, Akatsuki, and Mizuki, Oh My!

"What?" Naruto asked, completely thrown off guard.

"Yes, my son. Let me explain." Minato said.

"Long ago, before the tailed demons, there were ten angels that kept peace over the earth. They were:

Katuru the Life Angel;

Andorra the Death Angel;

Kawasaki the Fire Angel;

Pataki the Water Angel;

Matari the Wind Angel;

Hadaka the Lightning Angel;

Dokamaru the Earth Angel;

Seshio the Ice Angel;

Yatou the Lava Angel; and

Takaaki the All-Seeing Angel.

These ten entities ruled over the world, keeping it fair and just. Eventually, however, from the growing hatred of ninjas toward one another, came the Tailed Demons.

The two factions fought amongst themselves on equal terms, until in the end, the Tailed Demons seemed to have prevailed. The Angels scattered, rarely to be heard of or seen again.

However, it seems that they have resurfaced." Minato stated. Before he continued, he looked around and whispered into his ear.

"Sasuke has Kawasaki in him. Hinata contains Pataki." he said. Naruto's mind was totally blown.

"It's the truth, kid." said Andorra. Now, Naruto began to understand.

"But why didn't they tell me? I'm their best friends-" he said.

"Exactly. Now imagine you telling them that you have an all-powerful being inside of you- especially, in your case, a death-loving one. They would never treat you the same. They feared that you wouldn't treat them as you had in the past." Minato said.

"Oh…that makes more sense now. So I guess I'll be going now…" he said, getting up to leave.

"No, I have to tell you something else." he said. Naruto sat back down.

"There is a group that adorns a black robe with red clouds. If you run into them, be prepared to fight with everything you have. They are known as Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki's main goal was to capture each tailed beast so that they could use it for domination. However, when I sent the Nine-Tails to the Underworld, that plan was ruined. For the moment, their plan was spoiled.

But, they have discovered about the angels, and now are planning to capture them and use their power instead. If all ten are captured, then the world will be eradicated and rebuilt to praise the Akatsuki." Minato explained. Naruto nodded seriously.

"That also puts more reason behind Hinata, Sasuke and I being on the same team…we can protect each other." the young Namikaze said. The Hokage nodded.

"One of the members happens to be Lai Tao." Minato mentioned. Naruto immediately tensed.

"She was the woman who almost destroyed the Sand Village, wasn't she?" he asked.

"Indeed…it took their Third Kazekage's life just to stop her from destroying it. There are others; that being said, you can tell what caliber Akatsuki ninjas are-" Minato said. However, he was interrupted by Kakashi barging in.

"Minato-sensei, the Forbidden Scroll is missing!" he said. Minato stood up, clearly distressed by the latest events.

"Who did it?" he demanded.

"The guards reported around four ninja- all of them chunin level- invading it and stealing the scroll." He said.

"Kakashi, gather your squad and go after them. This will be your first "C" ranked mission. Understood?"

"But sensei, Law 91, Section 2a states that genin squads cannot go on anything higher than "D" ranked until they completed 45 missions!" Kakashi said.

"Law 91, Section 3 states that when a sacred item, such as the Forbidden Scroll, has been stolen, the Hokage has the power to send any team he sees fit to retrieve it. Now go!" Minato said. Kakashi nodded and left to go get Sasuke. Naruto made a clone that warned Hinata.

Sasuke was in the middle of his training with Itachi. He was trying to create a Lightning jutsu that he had a vision of one night (1). After that, he had been bugging Itachi, a prodigy, and Kakashi, a genius, to train him and help in the creation of the jutsu. Normally, it was Itachi who helped him, as they lived in the same area.

"You're progressing Sasuke. However, note that the jutsu destabilizes and explodes after a certain amount of time. You do not have enough chakra control to maintain the attack. I suggest that you work on the-" Itachi began. Before he continued, however, he heard a miniscule branch crack. He turned and launched three shuriken in a blur. After a moment, Kakashi came out of the tree, with two bleeding cuts and a bit of hair missing.

"Oh, sorry Kakashi." Itachi said innocently. He had known that Kakashi was in the tree, but he didn't have a reason to attack. The branch's cracking was all he needed to hit the Hatake. Kakashi, in response, sent a glare to Itachi, knowing that Itachi sensed him. Itachi was a natural born genius- one that appeared once every generation. Well, you had to discount the current generation- with Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Shino and Shikamaru in the ranks, it was a little more than that.

Kakashi then turned to his student. "Sasuke, we have a mission to go to- now." He said in a commanding tone.

"Yes sensei," the Uchiha said. He quickly followed the older man.

Hinata was eating a meal with Hanabi and Hiashi peacefully, with the occasional light banter.

"So, Hinata, what have you done today?" Hiashi asked. Yes, Hiashi was not a heartless, emotionless bastard as everyone thought. No, no, no; rather, he acted that way in order to make his children stronger. With Hinata's current state, he was content; Hanabi was also showing signs of brilliance as well. As such, he was able to act like a true father towards them.

"Well, Father," she said while eating a rice ball, "I had a bell test with Kakashi sensei." She said.

"And?" he asked, knowing of Kakashi's standards for the test.

"We got the bells and passed." She said. Hiashi's jaw dropped for a split second, before he regained his composure. No one had ever passed the test before! To not only pass but to gather the bells from Kakashi, one of the strongest ninja in the village was completely unheard of for three graduates fresh from the academy!

'Well, he did have the Hokage's son, the second Uchiha heir, and Hinata.' He tried to reason with himself. He still, however, could not bring himself to believe it. Before he could question further, however, the door busted open. The three occupants, even Hanabi, immediately settled into the Gentle Fist stance, until they realized it was Naruto.

"Naruto, what are you doing here? And how'd you get by the guards?" Hinata questioned. He panted a bit before answering.

"Doesn't matter…how I got by… we have a "C" ranked mission…now…Forbidden Scroll…stolen…retrieve it…NOW…" he said in between breaths. Hinata nodded and looked at her father. He nodded at her, giving his approval to go. She quickly followed the Naruto clone, while Hiashi planned to have a little chat with his guards.

After 5 minutes, the team was assembled in front of the gates. A small fox was at Naruto's feet- Apia, the same one that Hinata hugged and Naruto's partner sniffed the air.

"Lord Naruto, the thugs are stationed at the waterfall about 3 miles away from here to the northeast." The fox said. Naruto nodded and relayed the info to the group. After Apia hopped onto Naruto's shoulder, the team deftly made their way to the ninja.

Mizuki sat down, tired. He, the Stupid Brothers, and some other chunin had easily stolen the scroll, but after traveling for so long with chakra, they were all tired. He sat down near the waterfall.

Suddenly he tensed and jumped as several shuriken impaled the spot where he had been. The Stupid Brothers were also hit, but the weapons did nothing but annoy them. The other chunin had got impaled in the head by a kunai knife and was dead.

Mizuki and the brothers turned to see the Copycat Ninja, the Second Uchiha Son, the Hyuga heiress and the son of the Fourth Hokage. Mizuki inwardly knew that he was screwed. The brothers were thinking about food and the death of the ninjas who had hit them with the sharp objects.

Mizuki knew, however, that he needed to pretend like he was confident.

"That's it?" he questioned. "That's all Konoha, the greatest village in the world, could muster to send against us? That just shows how far the village has fallen." Mizuki said. Sasuke snorted, with a retort already in mind.

"No… that just shows how weak you all are, to have a genin team- freshly graduated- for that matter, come after you." Mizuki growled.

A battle followed that little remark.

Kakashi and Sasuke ducked and weaved around the Stupid Brothers. Fujin swung at Kakashi, who jumped over him. When he landed behind the ogre-like man, he turned and fired his jutsu.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" he said. Fortunately, Fujin was not too fast and was burnt upon impact.

"Brother!" Raijin cried. In that moment, Sasuke had finished a jutsu Kakashi taught him before they became a team.

"Lightning Blade!" the genin cried out. He rammed his lightning-encased fist straight through the brother's heart, instantly killing him. He and Kakashi turned to look at Mizuki's battle against Naruto and Hinata.

Three clones charged Mizuki, who backed up and threw a giant wind shuriken. It cleaved through all three and headed for Naruto, who jumped. To Naruto's surprise, however, it curved and followed him. He landed on a tree and weaved his way through the branches, with the star following him.

Through all this, Mizuki had forgotten about the heiress of the Hyuga clan. She appeared in front of the Chunin, startling him. Unable to defend himself because he was using chakra threads to control the shuriken; he took a palm straight to the heart. The chakra Hinata sent into his body stopped his heart instantly.

Hinata sat down and cried. It had been the first time she had killed anyone. Naruto sat next to her and hugged her softly while she cried into his chest. Sasuke also managed to hug the girl. Kakashi looked at the three friends sitting in the middle of a field.

'They have the talents of a jonin but the hearts of a genin…they are certainly a good group of kids. I'll be remembered as the sensei of this team, not "Kakashi of the Sharingan"… the future looks brighter than ever." Kakashi thought. He walked over to the three, and they talked for a bit before retrieving the heads of the traitors and leaving the place.

(1) Guess what it is!

And…end scene! Alright guys, I left you on a cliff there, didn't I?

So, there's the twist that makes Naruto so unique. I'll go in depth next chapter, and then the story will proceed.

Right, so as always, please review my story. And, once again, don't flame. If you must absolutely point something out, just use some constructive criticism.

Oh, and since the school year is rapidly approaching, when I update, I'll try to have at least two chapters instead of one. How does that sound?

Oh, and guys, I've decided that I'll have a six woman harem. I've got four chosen already; two, however, aren't decided. You know what that means…

POLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !

Guys, here are the choices:

Sakura (not sure how I'll do it, but it'll fit…I guess)

Ino (that's easier) - or do you guys want her with somebody else?

Samui (this one is really easy, seeing as it would be a nice fit with someone else)

Tenten (or is she Neji's?)

Fu (again, easy)

Konan ( I can make a mini filler sooner or later with Nagato going to Ame to fight her and he brings her back as prisoner of war that falls for Naruto) (or should she stay with Nagato)

Anko (in the story, she'll just have an age reduction) or

Guren (as a child Orochimaru found and decided to bring back to Konoha)

Just leave a review saying which two you think it should be. And if you want to say that Ino, Tenten and Konan should be with someone else, be sure to mention that too.

See ya next time!

Andrew out!
