AN: Don't hate me.. but this was really planned out. It's something that if you look 'underneath the underneath' you will see the base for it in previous chapters.

Also, given the request/reviews I have received Naruto will be using Chakra threads in an interesting way soon, via the help of his nifty little bloodline, and if you can guess what it is.. **hands you a cookie** I

Those that were asking about Kyuubi.. He'll rear his fluffy head in a few more chapters once we get to Wave.

/\ Council Chamber /\

The council elders, and Danzo were seated in the darkly lit room looking over the Hokage's listed arrangement for the new teams. They were frowning, their plans to keep the demon under their thumb were going astray. "Hiruzen is becoming a problem with that boy, treating him as if he were human." Danzo finally spoke breaking the tense silence. "He should have been turned into the weapon he is meant to be...Yet he keeps saying that it's not what the Fourth would have wanted. I want to know WHY."

The other two elders, looked to each other, it wasn't known to any but them and Jiraiya who the boy truly was. Well not even the Hokage and the Toad Sannin were aware that they knew. "Danzo, though we agree with you that the boy should not have been allowed to become what he has, it is best that you do not push this or it could be far worse for us and the village." Homaru warned, speaking up to quell the War-dog.

"Why? Why should I not force that boy to his knees and to train him into a weapon for our village?" He may be old but games of subversion and deceit were tools as natural to him as breathing.

The female elder sighed, "It's because of who his parents were... Should that become known to him or to any others it could lead to things that our village could not hold against." Koharu sighed, "For now his unwavering loyalty to this village and the Hokage is enough, As Ninja we all have secrets and some are enough to destroy anyone with but a word of them Danzo..."

The veiled threat in her words was not unnoticed, "I see." Danzo considered the weight of them, knowing that should he loose their support they would save their withered hides and spill everything to Hiruzen and the rest of the council on him.

"That is at it may, we do not fully understand the seal that Minato used on the boy, it's unlike any other Jinkurichi creation seal we have ever seen. It very well may have completely locked the presence and power of the demon away." Homaru said, in an attempt to sway Danzo away from any further thought. "Should the seal be broken, or the boy killed the demon will be as well. That is all we have been able to decipher of it. I for one do not wish to risk the slimmest chance of that beast coming back to finish what it had started." The wrinkled old hand grabbed the list. Though we will alter this listing and with the three of is we can over rule this much with out more than just a wavering suspicion."

Koharu caught on to what her old teammate was going after, " Yes that is a good reasoning, We cannot waste time by letting the Uchiha be on a team. Apprentice him to Kakashi, he's failed every team and this would allow him to have a more... liberal schedule." The spark caught as she noticed Danzo redirect himself along this path.

"The civilian girl we can brush away maybe into a medic program. Her skills are pathetic but she learns well." Homaru said carrying on their plan, "We would have to place the Inuzuka back with Kurenai, leaving the boy with no team.."

"But what do we do with the boy?"

"Oh he would be with out a team, and I am sure should someone offer he would take up the chance." Koharu finished. The wheels turning in Danzo's head were plainly seen by the other two in the room.

"Better yet, set the teams as they were originally, let Kakashi have the Uchiha, the girl and The boy." Danzo spoke all to happily, " The records show the girl will do anything if it will 'help' Sasuke. Kakashi is still going to focus on the Uchiha from our orders and out of some sense he owes to his fallen team mate." He worked out the list placing the teams as they should have been. "The demon boy will of course feel even more shafted and discouraged as well as angry. He has shown a strong dislike of the Uchiha's it will make him easier to peel away from them rather making him more grateful for one who would show him time."

/\ Hokage's Office /\

The elderly Hokage sat at his desk fuming, his killing intent spiking and all those near that room felt as if they should die. He had been spying on the elders through his crystal orb. What they were doing was sad to say within the legal loopholes to keep the Hokage in check. Yet their reasons were far worse than any other. He signaled an ANBU, "Get me Naruto.. NOW."

The man vanished, the other remaining guards were feeling the brunt of his fury, as he sat there waiting. It wasn't long before Naruto and Shiruba appeared in a swirl of leaves. Instantly stilling as the weight of the man killing intent pressed on them, "Jiji.. what gives?"

The Hokage snapped out of his thoughts, reigning in his desire to destroy the elders, his rival and his two former teammates. "Sit... " The two did as ordered. " The elders have seen fit to over rule my selection and placed you back on the team with Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura." As he finished his sentence the temperature of the room dropped several degrees. " I know I promised this wouldn't happen and I have failed you."

Naruto was furious, his chakra visibly pooling from him, as his two affinities caused the room to start to freeze. " Fine...if it is their will to see the village loose it's precious eye." His voice as cold as the air, "I'm calling in that favor Jiji... I want to know who my parents were. I want access to the Nidaimes jutsu scrolls, as I share his affinity and I have almost completed the raw manipulation of it."

The hokage had worried it would be a violent explosion of emotions, he wasn't prepared for the cold seething hatred that poured from Naruto. Even his requests weren't outrageous our truly outlandish. "I will get you the scrolls a true Suiton master would be beneficial. But as for your parents I.."

Naruto shot his full glare at the Hokage sensing he wouldn't comply. " You owe me that much...and this village owes me more for their treatment... It's this or I leave." He stated firmly. As an eleven year old it shouldn't have carried the weight it did. But, with the boys skills, prisoner, and Kami knew what else he was hiding the Hokage couldn't find it in himself to let the boy leave.

"I wanted you to be older to understand this, but it seems you have left me little room." He sighed and moved over to the picture of the Fourth, pulling it aside he opened the safe behind it and pulled three scrolls. "Your parents wrote you these before their death. Your Father knew he was going to die and your mother... she was always cautious." He handed Naruto two of the scrolls. Which the boy ripped open to read them.

Naruto

If you are reading this then you father and I have died. You have become chunnin or found some means of getting and or forcing Hiruzen into letting you read this. My name is Kushina Uzamaki- Namikaze. As to my knowledge you and I are the sole survivors of our clan from Uzu. Which was destroyed by the Kyuubi no Kitsune. I am or was it's host after our Uzukage sealed the demon inside me. I pray that you never meet this beast or have a similar fate to mine. I leave you with my love, and three jutsu two are my most feared and the last will allow you to enter and leave Uzu should you choose to venture there. Know I will always love you and be proud of you my son.

Kushina

Opening the next one at a much more sedated pace.

Naru-kun

I hope you read your mothers first, if you are anything like here which I hope you are and aren't you are probably a Chunnin or you found a way to squeeze this out of the Old man.

Old man I'm sorry...

Anyways, yes I am Minato Namikaze.. the Fourth Hokage.. I'm about to perform the sealing that should all go well will leave you with the Kyuubi inside you. I hope the village has treated you as the hero I and your mother, Kami rest her soul, want you to be seen as. If this didn't happen...be sure to give them hell for it.. Just take it easy on the Old man... if you aren't living with your godfather be sure to remind Jiraiya of his promise to me and especially your mother.

Now, I leave you everything I owned. The house, property and the money. I also give you a family secret. Since I'm already dead... I can't die again.. at least I know it won't happen soon. The Namikaze aren't really our clan. You are an Uzamaki and the last descendant of Tobirama Senju. Namikaze was the name of the Civilian his daughter married. I would be his great-grand son, making you his great great grandson and should Tsunade still be alive you have family... Don't be angry if no one told you.. it was passed down through our family... There's a test to prove it .. if you're in the Hokages office, which you should be, then find the blood seal on the back of the Nidaimes picture..just smear your blood on it. The rest will be revealed there.

Now... As Current Hokage... Should one Naruto Uzamaki not be of the rank of Chunnin but managed to obtain these scrolls from the Hokage.. then I promote him to the rank of Tokubetsu Chunnin.

Minato Namikaze

Fourth Hokage

The small chibi holding the victory sign, broke any serious tone the blond had been feeling, as he started to laugh. It wasn't a happy laugh more of a psychotic near breakdown laugh. Setting the scrolls down he looked at Hiruzen and smiled crookedly before walking straight to the picture of his supposed Ancestor and ripped it off the wall. "Naruto what are you doing?"

"Relax.. I'm following my 'Fathers' orders." Flipping it over to reveal a giant seal he bit his thumb and smeared it with the fresh blood. For a moment nothing happened until the seal started glowing revealing a Family Tree. The full list of the Senju clan, which caused the Hokage to come over and peer at it. His eyes widening seeing Tsunade and Naruto's names as the only living. Though Naruto's name was listed as Naruto Senju- Uzamaki. "Well looks like I'm related to three out of four Hokages." Turning to the old man, "Jiji... I want this announced... Tomorrow before teams. I am the Nidaimes Heir.. "

Hiruzen couldn't believe it, but it made so much sense as he looked between the boy and the two pictures of the Hokages that he could see. Even Tsunade was blond, and had the same fiery personality at times. "They will demand proof but with this, and a few blood tests that they will demand it will be done." He placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, his true age and the weight of his guilt pushing down on him. Not only had he failed Minato.. but he had let his Sensei's family suffer further.

/\ Next day /\

On the Balcony over looking the village stood Naruto and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third and again Hokage. "People of Konoha, last night fate seemed to be twisting in the winds and shone down upon our village and shed light on the fate of a young man." He motioned for Naruto to come stand next to him. "This light brought to my attention his lineage. Orphaned by the attack 11 years ago, the Will of Fire never left this young man. His lineage more than ever shows the words of our Previous Hokages were very much the truth. I present to you Naruto Senju-Uzamaki. Twice Great Grandson of Tobirama Senju, and Son of Minato Senju- Namikaze our late Fourth Hokage."

The villagers stood in silence, as the information filled their thoughts along with all the harsh treatments they had bestowed upon the boy. The council members that stood behind the Hokage were lost in thoughts, many were evaluating his potential and where they could fix their mistakes of his treatment. The few others who had seen him for who he truly was, were smiling in their own ways. "For proof of this claim I present the Blood Sealed Family Tree of the Senju." Showing where Minato, Tsunade, and Naruto were true descendants. "Naruto would now like to speak."

The blond man-child walked forward. "You who have antagonized me, spit on me, beat me, Shunned me, treated me like the garbage beneath your feat... I detest you. Don't think I won't remember what has happened but if you treat me like a person, an equal I will let the past remain where it is." He looked at several individuals in the crowd. "Those of you who showed me compassion, friendship, family, respect thank you so much." He smiled seeing Hana and several Aburame looking at him. "It seems fitting that today I join my first team as a Ninja of this village, the soul Heir to Tobirama Senju. I will have the distinct Honor to be able to help the Last Uchiha achieve his rightful place as my Teammate." Most missed the true meaning of the boys words. The elders, Hokage, and the boys soon to be Sensei however caught the undertone.

The hokage stepped forward placing his hand on the boys shoulder, and giving him a grim smile before turning to the assembled villagers. "With that said, I as Hokage of Konohagakure and Student of both the First and Second Hokages, The Senju brothers and founders of our village, Recognize and support Naruto's Claim." The Aburame, Inuzkau, Nara, Akamichi, and several other council members stood in support. Some didn't but they didn't try and dispute it either. "So be it. The Senju Clan lives on, and so does the Will of Fire!" The crowd cheered, for it's what a mass of people do. As a whole the new was a great boost to them all, but once time passed some may change and accept this, others may ignore it and then some may decide to wait and see.

/\ Academy Team Pick up /\

The assembled Gennin were waiting anxiously, having been here instead of at the gathering called by the Hokage. So they were unaware of the new found information. Naruto soon walked in wearing his normal blue and black clothes, though the Uzu swirl was placed now on his shoulders the back of the Jacket sported the Senju clan symbol in black as well. Walking with Shiruba to his usual seat he settled down with a cheshire grin to wait out the team announcements.

Eventually Iruka walked into the room, with the sealed list of teams. He looked at all his now former students. "Today is a sad day for me as I no longer will be your Sensei. Though it is a bright day for you all as you now take on the steps of becoming a true Shinobi of this village." He smiled as he opened the scroll. " I will now read of the names."

He went through a few teams of students, that Naruto didn't bother to listen too, "Kiba Inuzuka , Hinata Hyuuga and a Shino Aburame will be on team 8 with Kurenai. Team 10 will be Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akamichi and Ino Yamanaka with Asuma. Team 7 will be Sakura Haruno, Sausuke Uchiha, and Naruto Senju." He stopped, looking over the name again, "erm well with Kakashi as your sensei."

The room erupted in several different fashions, some girls were lamenting not being on Sasukes team, others were discussing the fact that Naruto's last name was Senju...and not Uzamaki on this list... and others were shouting at the unfairness of other things. " ENOUGH, meet your sensei here at 1 now dismissed."

Naruto was still going over everything that had happened to him, in the last day. The revelation of his family being more than it should have been. It didn't out weigh the fact that the Kyuubi was also held within his mother, meaning it was released some how. He wanted to know who, how and why and once the Kyuubi woke up he would get his answers. After all the overlays he placed on his seal, worked two ways. It could either slow the process down on how much Chakra he took and absorbed from the demon, or it could increase it faster than it should. His head ached, as he felt his clones start to dispel filling his mind with the information they were either reading or training. Needless to say three hundred clones were left to move him stuff, read scrolls or train.

/\Pick-up time /\

Naruto didn't leave the academy as many others had, instead he chose to stay there and wait. Let the villagers take time to start spreading the news and correct their children on the behaviors that they themselves encouraged. He watched as Shiruba seemed to twitch every so often in his sleep, the two tailed kitsune was resting, as his own clones returned to him. It amazed him how it seemed he alone used the clones like this, but then who else had the source of chakra and the regenerative abilities to deal with the trauma to the brain.

The others started to mill into the room, many of them giving him looks, most of which were confused about what happened. The others mostly of Clans looked at him, with understanding and a bit of concern. Though only one didn't change how they looked at him and that would be Sasuke Uchiha, the boy just glared. To which Naruto just ignored, he had no reason to start the feud again, but he wouldn't hesitate to place the bastard in his true place, a grave, if given to correct set of opportunities.

Other jounnin came and collected their teams until only team 7 remained. Our blond looked at the clock, annoyed by the man's tardiness though he had been warned about it. Naruto waited,ignoring Sakura. He wouldn't be holding back on who he was and what he knew any longer, and the first time some one copies his skills with an eye they would loose it. Eventually the man arrived, walking through the door. "My first thoughts are I hate you.. Meet me on the roof ." the clone dispelled, Sasuke and Sakura took of through the door, while Naruto and Shiruba flickered to the roof to wait.

/-Roof-\

Kakashi was shocked to see the blond and fox, appear there in a swirl of leaves. 'He's better than what I was told.' But the revealing of his skills by the Hokage and now the truth of Naruto's Heritage told him the boy was going to be the best with or with out him. He sighed, 'Sensei forgive me.' After a few minutes the two others showed up out of breath, taking seats on the ledge. Shooting glares at Naruto.

"Good, now how about we get to know each other first, hm? Then on to the real test."

"Uhm Kakashi-sensei why don't you go first?" The pinkette said.

"Well I am Kakashi Hatake, there are many things I like and even more I dislike and my dream is that." He stated as he looked through a little orange book. The team just sat there Sakura stared at him confused, Sasuke with disinterest and Naruto well he wasn't even paying attention. " Now your turn, Pinky you first."

She straightened up, "I'm Sakura haruon. I like," looks at Sasuke, " I dislike Naruto Baka, and my dream."looks at Sasuke again and giggles. To which the reaming group sweat dropped.

Kakashi looked between Naruto and Sauske before he indicated Sasuke to go next. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha, I don't have any likes my dislikes are traitors to my clan and my dream isn't a dream it's an ambition to kill the one responsible for the death of my clan."

Naruto didn't wait to be recognized and started on his own, "I'm Naruto Senju-Uzamaki. I am the heir to both clans. I like many things, I dislike those who don't work for their skills and simply 'copy' or steal them for themselves. My dream well... I'll tell you when I fell you are worth my trust." He finished and Shiruba yipped next to him.

Kakashi looked between his team, 'I'm not allowed to fail them but Naruto will not work with Sasuke, Sasuke doesn't want to work with any of them and Sakura will only do what Sasuke says.' He thought it over to himself seeing what he had read and seen on his own was coming to the surface. The look Naruto gave him when he mentioned copying jutsu, showed that the blond knew about his eye and made his opinion known. "Alright... meet tomorrow at 6, training ground 7. Naruto stay for a minute."

Taking the cue to leave, they did so. "What do you want Kakashi... I have things I need to do." Naruto spoke crisply, as his tentative sensei stood before him.

Kakashi ran a hand through his hair, "Well first off.. I can't fail you because you aren't even really a gennin. Second.. I was on your father's team, he was my sensei. Third you are probably aware that I am suppose to ignore you and train Sauske." To which Naruto nodded to all of them, "So...we can work this a few ways." He sighed... he hated not being able to have a 'teamwork' team but this was as good as he was going to have with fate against him.

Naruto looked at him, "Are you going to be late to everything?" To which he already knew the answer. " Don't even answer I know you will. I'll send a re-enforced Shadow clone to training. I'll show up for missions..if you don't like it.. then change." With that Naruto and Shiruba flickered away from the building, leaving Kakashi to stand there, like he saw a ghost and missing something small and orange.
