Naruto got into Genma's house and walked upstairs not even bothering to look around. 'Man, that fight took a lot more out of me then I originally thought' Naruto thought as he walked up the stairs and down the hallway catching some pictures in the corner of his eye but paying them no heed. Naruto came to a door on his left and cursed himself for not asking Genma where his room is. Right now he didn't care as much as he would, he was tired and chose to open the door and if it looked like a room Genma would sleep in he would go to the next door.

And so Naruto opened the door and the first thing he saw was a shelf on the opposite wall with about ten pictures on it and next to the shelf there was a Junin vest hanging on a hook on the wall. Naruto closed he door a little disappointed that it wasn't his room because all he wanted to do was sleep right now. Naruto walked down the hallway some more and saw another door at the end of the hallway to his right.

He opened the door and saw it was almost completely empty except for the bear necessities like a desk, drawers, some empty shelves, and a bed. Naruto smiled when he saw the bed. He quickly took off his sandals and undressed, except for his boxers, and jumped into the bed. Naruto felt sleep start to take him and he gladly let it. Just when he was about to sleep he heard loud knocking and groaned sadly before he pulled his pillow over his head and said "Nobody's home now leave." But, the knocking continued so he just ignored it as best he could and soon fell into a deep sleep.

With Tenten after Naruto left the fight scene

Tenten was almost to the exit of the battle sight, she was surprised at the damage. There were walls on houses and building almost completely demolished and many parts of the ground looking like mini versions of craters. Just a little bit ago she saw a giant crater in the ground and was hoping it wasn't Naruto's doing.

The reason is because she was already confused enough about what has happened, but she was starting to more fear Naruto then anything else. First, Naruto fights on par with Neji, the genius of her generation, then he looks to have lost at the end until he started to turn into something else that even scared Neji, which is saying a lot seeing as Neji is a prodigy of the supposedly emotionless Hyuuga, then he defeats Neji like nothing, and to top it all off Naruto holds his own against two high Jounin's (may someone tell me the correct spelling for this I found out two different ways to spell the beginning on the internet, Jo or Jou, and I am confused which to use).

And he walked out with, at least with what she could see, not even a scratch. Naruto was, at first impression, a hyperactive-ramen-loving-child. Then he turns into a serious-unreadable-emotionless-fighter who spars with Neji and defeats him. Tenten at first believed that the only reason why Naruto acted so different between his fight's and his normal life was to gain the upper hand in a fight by making the enemy underestimate him. Then she sees him crying on the Hokage monument, and refuses to tell her why, so then she believes that being that hyperactive boy was all an act, a mere mask to hide his true self from the world, but for what reason, is what she wants to know. She's close, she can tell that the answer is almost in reach. All she need's is a few more clues, or she can go the easy rout and tell Naruto what her worst moment was in trade for his secret.

'Well he did say he would do it' thought Tenten deciding it was worth the risk.

Tenten was walking up the street when she sees a boy with bright blond hair turn into a walk way and then opened a door and walked into a house. Tenten could tell that it was Naruto just by the messy blond hair, the slight tint of crimson over his hair and his body, and his shortness.

Tenten ran up to the door and was about to knock, when she froze, and just stood there like a mannequin in a store window.

'Why… why can't I just move my arm' Tenten thought this as she started to remember scene's of Naruto in her mind. First they were of him smiling, then of him sparing as well as acting like an idiot, after that she remembered him crying, and finally she relived the scene of him rising, after Neji knocked him unconscious, but with a more feral look.

'Is that the real Naruto, that… that monster' Tenten was now having second thought's about talking with him.

'No… I need to know what, and why, whatever happened back there happened' With that self reassurance Tenten forced herself to knock on the door.

No answer.

She was considering blowing down the door with an explosive tag, but thought against it. A few more minutes of knocking/banging on the door, then she sadly walked back home. Well what she considered her home at least.

With Neji

Neji just walked/dragged himself into the Hyuuga compound, and was inwardly cursing the first Hyuuga's who thought that it would be a good idea to place the compound so far away from damn-near-everything-else (A/N the marketing center, training grounds ect.…). As he passed the gates he saw the other Hyuuga's pointing at him and whispering to one another, probably about how bad he looked. Though they did not notice that he saw them because, not only was his hair covering most of his face, but also he was just staring straight and seeing them through peripheral-vision. (A/N No, Neji does not have his Byakugan activated, for those of you who might be lost, I'm talking about an inherited trait. I believe that having great peripheral-vision is a/should be a natural trait for Hyuuga due to much use of their blood-limit.) Then Neji heard a pompous laugh and to looked his left, to the origin of which he heard the annoying laugh.

"Well, well what do we have here? The-oh-so-great-Hyuuga-prodigy finally met a person who didn't take his smart-ass attitude" this was said by one of the Hyuuga main family members who was his age.

"Even in my weakened state I can still defeat scum like you, Tenzou-baka" retorted Neji as he slid into the gentle-fist stance, or as well as he could with his extremely injured body. Tenzou physically looked Neji's age with the normal hair color and facial features of most Hyuuga members, black hair white eye's stoic face. The only difference between Tenzou and his surrounding family member's was his our-fit, all black no white what so ever.

"Wait, wait a minute. Wouldn't you want to fight me in an official battle so that no matter what people say the truth is on paper, and now in days, as we both know, paper is all that matters." Tenzou sneered and faced his back toward Neji as he began to walk to the west wing, knowing that Neji would follow, where the sparring grounds were located at.

After about a three minute walk, which for Neji it felt like three hours, the pair were standing in front of two very large, and very elegantly designed, Oak doors. There were three very noticeable designs on the two massive door's forming a triangle (A/N a lot of these huh? Anyway I am not to sure how to describe the placement, I believe that it was to vague for a lot of readers. So I will try to make it easier for those people. Just think of connect-the-dots, these three symbols are the dots, and when lines are drawn to connect the three it forms a triangle.) The first was of these three symbols was located at the top, it would form the tip of the triangle, where the two doors met, and it was the Hyuuga Clan symbol, Yin & Yang. To the bottom right there was the Uchiha Clan symbol, the red and white fan. Then to the bottom left, exactly opposite of the Uchiha symbol. was a clan symbol that Neji did not know of. He never really bothered to think much of it till now, it was in the shape of, what looked like, a sword with a Sakura flower in the middle of the blade. What was weird was that the sword hilt was made from, once again what looked like, the bone from a humans fore arm.

Neji quickly threw that thought out the window. No Hyuuga would ever side with a clan who were so barbaric as to use human bones for the hilt of their swords. Still, it annoyed Neji to no end not knowing what the symbol was, and the fact that the design was very weathered away from age didn't help either.

"Are you just going to just stand there and stare at the door, or are you going to open it?" Tenzou said this as an order. Neji knew that he had to open the door because of the fact that he was a Branch house member, and Tenzou was of the Main family.

And so Neji opened the door's, with much effort, to reveal a very large grassy plain, with a few trees, with many circles that had Shinobi sparing in them. Neji has been here many times when he was young so he did not bother to look at the scenery. Tenzou and Neji walked into one of the free circles that was one of the few near a tree. They stood in the center, and waited patiently until an older looking Hyuuga with a clipboard and a pen walked up to them.

"What is the reason for this match" asked the old man as he looked at his paper waiting to write down something. All matches were recorded and kept in two different categories, the first was just for keeping track of who was were, at what time, and for what reason just in case something happened and the information was needed. The second was the ones that were documented for proof of winning, is the fighters wished. In short the Hyuuga liked to keep things in order.

"I challenged this branch member to a spar, because he has insulted me by calling me 'baka'" Tenzou said this with the same sneer as before.

"So a punishment, ok I take it you wish this to be documented" asked the old man well quickly scribbling stuff down onto his paper.

"Yes, as proof to this branch member that he may never speak to a main like that again." At this Neji held the erge to laugh. He knew that if he did so, then the punishment would bee far greater then a mere spar.

"Any rules you wish to put down, since you are the one who was insulted" this time the old man looked at Tenzou.

"Yes, no Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, just pure Taijutsu like Hyuuga's should do. As well as the classic rule of, if you step out of the circle or get knocked unconscious, you lose."

"Understood, the match will begin when you two are ready."

Tenzou looked Neji up and down before giving a nod to show he was ready.

'Damn! I barely have the chakra reserves to move, but it's enough to use one move, albeit a move not yet completed, none-the-less a move that will guarantee me the win' for the first time since this morning Neji doubted his skills. 'I hope this works, I have to try!' Neji gave a nod signaling that he was also ready.

"BEGIN!" Yelled the old man and Tenzou took off like a bullet at Neji as he activated his Byakugan.

Tenzou continuously threw strike after strike, each one had a blast of chakra shoot out of it weather it hit or not, pushing Neji to the edge of the ring. Neji was able to block half and dodged the other half. Neji was already hurt and couldn't stand much more of this 'punishment'.

So far, from the eyes of the more novice shinobi, this fight looked one sided, but to the veterans they saw many openings that Tenzou was showing as well as sensing charkra being held back by Neji when he blocked or even attacked Tenzou.

Neji saw the openings as well and took one which pushed Tenzou to the opposite end of the ring. Neji then smirked and, with much pain but not showing it, slid into a stance that surprised every Hyuuga there and they all started to look at him with great suspicion mixed with interest.

Tenzou recognized the stance and laughed as he said "Ha! Fool you think you can do such an advance technique? You barley have the chakra needed to stand, even if dis you some how learn how to do that attack you don't have the chakra needed to pull it off." Tenzou was now walking toward Neji.

"No, you are the fool here Tenzou-baka. A boy, that you know by the name of Naruto, has shown me that in a fight, even if you are at your highest limit, even if you may die in said fight, if it is a fight for what you believe in, then death means nothing. Naruto has shown me what the brighter part of life looks like, and for this I will always stand by him, not as an ally, but as a friend." Neji started to emit a bright green glow as he said "Tenzou-baka this is more then a fight of 'who is right and wrong' or 'punishment due to an insult'. No, this fight is, to me, a branch member standing against a main house member because he, like many, abuses his authority and must be put in his place by the very ones he looks down upon." Neji now smirked "You are within the range of my Divination!"

Neji then put his left leg in front of him, and turned his body to face his right, he was still looking forward to Tenzou. He then brought his left arm up and pointed it, palm forward, at Tenzou. He placed his right arm behind him with that hand pointing, palm face down, straight behind him. Finally he placed his right leg behind him and slouched a little. All of this was done in one fluid movement, like it was normal to be in this stance(this stance was kind of hard to describe)

"Okay, that's enough we don't need a dead servant on our hands, just surrender and I will forgive you, there is no need for me to 'punish' you any further." Tenzou started to walk closer towards Neji as he said this.

Neji was now pissed beyond comprehension, it was now when he activated his Byakugan and summoned all the chakra that he could muster. He then yelled "Jyuuken Monve: Hakke Rokujuuyonshu!!!" (Hakke Rokujuuyonshu Divination Shield, 64 Strikes) and attacked Tenzou like a bat out of Hell.

"Two Strikes" Neji hit Tenzou in the chest.

"Four Strikes" Tenzou's fear is present on his face as four more sharp blows strike hit his abdominal area.

"Eight Strikes" Tenzou feels his chakra begin to rapidly dissipate, as his body starts to freeze up and go numb.

"Sixteen Strikes" the crowd wants to stop the match as Tenzou screams in pain, but they know that it is against tradition, and the rules, to intervene in this type of battle.

"Thirty-Two Strikes" an unseen character watches with great interest.

"SIXTY-FOUR STRIKES!" as the last strike hits Tenzou, he fly's out of the ring so fast, that when he hits the nearby tree, the bark, in the area that he hit, shader and a long vertical break is made along that side of the tree.

The crowd is silent as they all look at Neji in awe.

As for Neji, he laughs, a laugh that holds emotions long bottled up finally being released. Then his laughter turns to tears as he cry's and falls to his knees in pain that is physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual all mixed into one. "Father… I did it… I put one of them in their place. Are you proud of me… I also found a friend, and took the first step to my dream. But, I have also proved fate wrong… it was your belief, and I proved it wrong…" Neji mumbles all of this under his breath, between gasps for air, so low so that only he could hear.

A character, once unseen, revealed himself. This said character was none other then the Hyuuga clan head himself, Hyuuga Hiashi. He slowly walks up to the young Hyuuga on the ground.

As he reaches Neji he kneels down and says "You know, that was quite a feat you pulled there? You are the youngest Hyuuga to ever pull off that technique, albeit it was sloppy and had many holes, but none-the-less you pulled it off…" Hiashi pauses as he looks Neji over "you're a little worse for wear, you could've killed your self. You may rest now… I will send for our medic's." Soon after the last word leaves Hiashi's lips Neji falls unconscious……………

Naruto's Dream

"Boy... BOY!!!"

"who… where… am I?" Naruto slowly rises as he hears a thunder like voice call out to him.

"Welcome to your origin" The voice says.

"What? Origin?" Naruto looks around and sees many, many trees. "Am I in a forest?"

"For now….." The voice answers in a tone only relatable to amusement. "But soon, oh so soon, it will be a graveyard for may loved ones." The voice laughs and again it shakes the earth beneath Naruto's feet like thunder.

"What the hell?" This is all Naruto can say as the air is filled with the cry's of both men and women, the stench of fresh blood being spilt, and roars of thunder, but no rain.

"This is where you where born child, well this is were who you are NOW was born. As well as where your family was taken from you… this is MY memory boy! This is another one of my gifts so to speak. You will be able to see those who you would've called Mother and Father." The voice once again fills the air with its laughter. Naruto is glad that his voice is so loud because the screams were tearing him up on the inside. Then what the voice had said hits him like a high kick to the nuts by Gai.

"KYUUBI!?!? What do you mean 'This is where my family was taken from me!?" Naruto screams with a voice filled with emotions mostly a mix of confusion and rage, most of it is the latter.

"This is when I attacked, boy. Here, my senses were at there maximum, in the middle of battle with my greatest adversarie yet… The one you call Yondami, or should I say… the one who destroyed your life, as well as mine. Run to that hill to your left there you will see what exactly happened through MY eyes, in other words you will see ALL. You will see what so many refuse to tell you, see why they fear you SO much that they HATE YOU!" Kyuubi Laughed again but this time the laugh didn't just end with a dead stop, no it just faded away, ever so slowly.

Naruto waited, for a few seconds, to make sure the voice did not return, and when he was sure that Kyuubi was gone……for now he turned his head to his left. And sure enough, there was a hill.

"Kind of big for a hill" Naruto whispered to himself as he began to run to the top of the said hill. And after awhile he reached the top, and once he did he quickly regretted it. For what he saw was worse then any war described in stories both written and spoken… no, this was worse then any hell in any religion Naruto has hear, or knows, about.

The ground was stained black with the burnt blood of many ninjas and it was still getting darker. It looked as if the ninjas were running on nothing… just hovering. Then Naruto caught a whiff the air and quickly fell to his knees with his hand over his nose and mouth, his mouth to keep himself from puking, and his nose to try and filter the smell out… he didn't puke, not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't.

"This is sick" he whispered to himself as he pushed himself up and looked a the carnage below him again. His hand fell from his face as he saw a young boy, looking no older then Naruto, with silver hair jolt across the blackness with speed that Naruto could barely follow. At first Naruto was going to ignore this person until he heard a loud chirping, and saw, what looked like, a ball of lightning in the boys hand. Just as the boy was going to make contact with a large figure cloaked in shadow, that Naruto knew was Kyuubi, the boy froze. Not just him though, as Naruto looked around, everyone and everything that was moving before, but himself, was frozen in their tracks. What Naruto saw now just looked like a portrait of a great war. Now, what once looked so horrible, the battled looked like and artist trying to show a hero slaying the great beat.

"That boy is the only one to have made me feel excruciating pain for the first time in a LONG time." Kyuubi spoke up as Naruto was still admiring the scene. "You know him" Kyuubi stated this as a fact, not a question, and this made Naruto turn his attention to Kyuubi's voice.

"Do I now? Then who is he, I have never seen that attack before."

"True, you haven't. But, he is one of the few smart shinobi that only use their 'strong' jutsu's as a last resort. And believe me when I say that this situation was no acceptation, do you know HOW MANY TIME'S that I knocked that boy down, thinking he was dead, only for him to RISE BACK UP. That is what make's this village so powerful… 'The will of fire'." Kyuubi was silent for a moment before continuing "damn I wondered off for a bit, now where was I…" another moment of silence. "Ah, yes, that's right" Kyuubi continues "he is the one known as Kakashi" at this Naruto's eye's bulged to the point of resembling bug eye's.

"The Kakashi?" Naruto may not be the smartest kid, but he knew his legendary ninja's. It was one of the things that Genma-sensei got him interested in, enough to read at least and that alone is a great feat. "Copy-Cat Nin Kakashi!?"

"Yes, he sure is a powerful little brat, and I have a feeling that he will become FAR more notorious then he already is." Kyuubi said this in a softer tone, as if only want for himself to hear this. "Ah, anyway I want you to look behind you" Naruto did so, and saw four figures walking in a horizontal row, well would be walking if they weren't frozen in time.

(This is all from Naruto's point of view from the top of the hill, so basically he didn't move and is looking at them from about

The first figure, to the far left, was male had bright, messy, blond hair and he was wearing a white cloak with red flames rising from the bottom, this cloak was covering his whole body and only leaving his head and neck visible.

"Yondami?" Naruto meant to only ask this to himself, but he forgot that the Kyuubi was here as well.

"Yes, now look at the other three" Kyuubi said this in a patient voice, not loud nor soft, a voice that was… just there.

The second was a male and was being pulled by a chain that was connected to a collar on his neck and shackles on his wrists. The person holding the chain was the fourth figure, but Naruto looked more at the second, he knew that he would have time to look at the fourth one later. The second figure had long blond, almost white, hair that went past his shoulders, and it looked to be longer just because some of his hair, that was blown by the wind, was now touching the top of his lower abdominal area, a little past the ribcage. He looked young, Naruto assumed that he was only in his mid-twenties maybe his early-thirties. He was wearing a plain white muscle shirt with plain white shorts that past the kneecap just a little. He was a little darker then normal, probably from spending a long time outside, and he looked to be about five-inches taller then the Yondami's height, but had a larger build. He had many dark-purple and crimson-red tribal style tattoos crossing one another on each of his arms. Naruto was about to turn to the third figure, when something shinned into his eye's. Naruto looked back at the second figure and saw a bright chain necklace below his collar, it looked to have something connected to it but Naruto couldn't tell what. Naruto looked at the second figure a little longer before he moved onto the third figure.

The third figure was a female, also chained and being pulled by the fourth figure, the main difference was that the chain was only connected to her collar. When Naruto looked at her arms, to see if she had shackles as well, he gaze froze. She did have shackles, the chain that connected the two thick cuffs was longer then the males'. But, this is not why Naruto froze. No, it was because of WHY her chain was longer, she held a small thing wrapped in cloth in her hands. Naruto moved closer and saw a small hand sticking out as if trying to grab something, Naruto felt tear's start to roll down his cheek.

"No, nonononono…" Naruto repeated this over and over again as he moved closer to the third figure and the small child in her arms.

As he came within a few inches away from her, he looked at the baby in the cloth. He first noticed that there was no hair yet, so the baby was born more recently, then he was struck buy the electric blue eye's of the child. Naruto couldn't stand to look at his younger-self any longer, so he turned his attention to the female carrying his younger self.

She had short spiky hair that touched her shoulders, it was so dark… Naruto couldn't compare it to anything it was just so amazing, like looking into a shadow. Naruto had to look around his younger self to see her eye's, since that is where her attention is at. her eye's were very bright blue, exactly identical to his own. She was wearing a plain white dress, with short sleeve's, and had bright blue and crimson red tribal tattoos around her fore arms, but, unlike the male's, they were crossing each other in shapes of lightning. Her skin looked very fair and soft, but if one were to look closer they would see light scars over her body, showing that she was someone used to battle.

Naruto got curious and looked at the second male figure again, and saw that he had the face of a very brave, but caring man. He had eye's of electric blue as well but they looked to demand respect. The both of them stood with great pride and no fear. Naruto reached for the necklace on the male and grabbed it, but not pull it for the life of him.

"Kyuubi, why can't I see the necklace?" Naruto was very frustrated with this, and his sadness only fueled the fire.

"Because, like I said, you see what I saw. I never saw the whole necklace, so you can't see it. And before you ask, I did see your mother's eye's… for a brief moment, but that is more then enough for me to remember it for an eternity. And yes that man is your father… I believed he was your uncle or something, because you two rarely have anything in common, until I remember hearing him call YOU son as I was being pulled into you."

Naruto looked at his mother & father one last time, and then looked at the fourth figure, the one who holds the chains. Naruto guessed that he was old just from how the hand holding the chains looked, and Naruto wanted to scream when he saw who it was.

-END-

Sorry for the VERY late update… I am just not interested anymore, when I get an idea I will type it up. So sorry to all of you, if any, that were waiting SO long. Next update will be whenever I get a BIG idea like today. Also I am sorry for any big mistake's in this chapter I tried to correct all of them when I re-read it.
