AN: Kushina may love Naruto but left him when he was only 4. She never took care of him. That is abandoning.

Chapter 4
Timeskip: 8 years after Kyubi attack,
"Are you sure there are thirty of them?" asked Shikaku.
"Yeas but none of them have a developed chakra network means none of them are ninja." concluded Itachi.
This was Team 1's sixteenth C-Rank mission. The mission had minimal risk where they had incapacitate a group of bandits who often raided the Karakura town.
"What should we do sensei?" asked Kurenai.
"Kill them all." Said Naruto and looked towards Shikaku asking for permission.
Shikaku nodded and the wind around them became much stronger.
"Itachi give me some flame." Said Naruto as the wind rushed towards the bandit camp.
Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique. Itachi exhaled a stream of fire. Soon the fire and the wind together became a blazing inferno and burnt the whole bandit camp into ashes in few seconds. Naruto looked on without blinking and Itachi reactivated his sharingan to check for any life left.
Kurenai looked at her teammates. She just couldn't understand the boys. One moment they are cold but still somewhat normal and one moment they are ruthless shinobis killing people without any emotion.
'Sigh what a strange team I have, two teammates who are cold blooded killers and lazy ass teacher...but still I love my team.' thought Kurenai.
Naruto touched the ground with his hands and two huge walls of earth emerged and buried the now decimated bandit camp.
"Lets go." said Shikaku and the team exited the forest.
Next Day, Hokage Tower.
"And we arrived at Konoha this morning." Said Shikaku. He had to make a full report of the mission.
"Well done Team. Now you may rest for today. Dismissed" said the Hokage.
The team exited the Hokage's office. "Lets eat something and then you can do whatever you want." said Shikaku lazily.
Akimichi Barbeque Restaurant,
"So you sister is starting the academy today." asked Kurenai.
"Yes the Hokage said so." Replied Naruto.
Though Natsuko was the only reason Naruto was abandoned yet he didn't hold any grudge against his twin sister. Such emotion would only lead him to make rash decision which in return would only make him weak. That was Naruto's opinion.
Soon the team finished their lunch and exited the reastaurant. Shikaku bid them good bye and shunshined away.
"I want to see your new genjutsu." Sated Itachi looking towards kurenai.
"Okay but I have not masterd it yet." Replied Kurenai as the trio headed towards their training field.
Training Ground 1,
Genjutsu: Flower Petal Escape.
The fiels was soon filled with with flower petals floating everywhere.
"Not bad but it still have some flaws." said Itachi looking towards a tree.
Kurenai emerged from behind the tree and asked' "how did you know I was there?"
"Your scent and you made sound while moving." Said Naruto.
Itachi nodded agreeing with Naruto and said, "And you should one or two more layers to make it more potent."
Kurenai accepted their advice and said, "You know you two are my worst opponent. Itachi you can dispel any genjutsu with your sharingan and Naruto you are practically immune to genjutsu due to...the Kyubi."
"Then you should improve your other skills too. Even I don't depend on my earth and wind completely." said Naruto.
"Over dependence on only one skill or weapon would make any ninja weak. Like overdependence on sharingan would make me weak." Said Itach .
Kurenai listened to the boys and thought about it too. She knew she would be annihilated against someone like Itachi or Naruto.
"Lets go. I have to report to my father too." Said Itachi.
"You go on. I have some business to attend to." Said Naruto.
Itachi looked towards him and nodded. He shunshined away with Kurenai following behind.
"Come out now." ordered Naruto looking towards the ground.
A ninja wearing a Iwa head band materialized out of the ground.
"Pretty good kid. But I expected this much from the son of that damned Yondaime." Said the smirking Iwa ninja.
"But now you are going to die ." shouted the ninja and started doing hand seals.
Earth Release: Earth Spike. The man epected Naruto to be skewered by a earth spike but nothing happened. He stared at Naruto with confusion.
"Fool. I am Naruto Namikaze, jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Kitsune. Controlling eath and wind comes to me naturally." Said Naruto and touched the ground.
The Iwa ninja sensing disturbance under his feet jumped back. But as soon as he touched the ground numerous earth spikes emerged and pierced every part of his body. He died a painful death with disbelief etched over his face. The spikes receded in the ground taking the corpse with them underground. Naruto turned around and walked out of the training ground.
2 Years later,
"So you want me to see what you are doing wrong?" asked NAruto.
Natsuko mumbled and nodded. Naruto kept staring at his sister while Itachi smirked leaning against a tree. Naruto looked towards Itachi dating him to make any comment.
"Okay try to do the technique again." Said Naruto.
"Hai...Clone technique." Shouted Natsuko doing the basic chakra release hand seal.
A pale looking copy of Natsuko could be seen lying on the ground.
"You have a large chakra reserve due to Uzumaki blood but your control is pathetic. Ask your mother to teach you some chakra control execises. Now go.
"Thank you Naruto nii san." Beamed Natsuko and left.
Naruto sighed. He just couldn't ignore her. Naruto called Itachi and they headed towards the Hokage tower. They had to meet Kurenai there.
A young beautiful sixteen year brunette girl with slightly big bust could be seen standing leaning on a wall. She was tall for her age and wearing pair of ANBU style pants and a full sleeved white top. The males passing by could be seen leering at her. A chunin even got near her to grope her ass.
"You are going to die a painful death if you touch her." Said Itachi coldly standing on the wall.
The chunin looked up to see Itachi and Naruto looking at him as if they would kill him without even blinking. He gulped and fled the seen..
"Where were you two?" asked Kurenai folding her her arms.
Naruto and Itachi jumped on the street. "Natsuko." stated Naruto.
Kurenai sighed and looked towards the boys. Naruto's clothes were the same only a little bigger as he had become quite tall for his age. Itachi had started wearing a blue shirt instead of the black. They had opened upto her quite a bit still didn't talk much.
"Lets go then." Said Naruto and the team entered the Hokage Tower.
Hokage's Office,
"The border outpost near rice country is not responding from two days back. Your mission is to investigate and return to Konoha. Do not engage in unnecessary fight." said the Hokage .
Taem 1 bowed and exited the office.
Border Outpost, Rice Country.
"You know those four ninjas were really pathetic and they were chunins of almighty Konoha." said a man wearing a long coat and a mask.
"I know Renji. You have already said that twenty times in two days." Said another man wearing only a camouflage pants.
The two became silent.
"Takeshi you know those...
"Shut Up"
