Hey everyone, hope you all liked the last chapter and I'm sure some of you think that Naruto will be god like now because how the last chapter ended but if you remember I had already said that this will not be a god like story so stop assuming it is for those of you who are. Naruto will have one factor that could be considered godlike, but that alone does not make him god like in this story since it is one skill. As to why I did what I did last chapter is explained in this chapter. Also if you're thinking there's no way he cannot be god like because of last chapter, ask yourself this; where does it say that all demons are super strong or anything like that? They are fantasy and have no basis for fact so you can do whatever the hell you want with them, you can also do the same with gods and goddesses, and if that offends anyone's religious belief; I do apologize now, that is my own belief since I am not religious so again I am sorry if it offends you in any way. Also just because Naruto has a goddess with him doesn't mean she will know what is going to happen, Kanari may be Kami but she isn't all seeing in this fanfic and if you don't like that then move on and don't read it anymore, I have no qualms about that. It's called fan fiction for a reason, as the author what I say goes in my story, now if you have suggestions then that is fine, but don't make it seem like something should have happened differently just because of who his friends are. One more thing, in this fanfic the academy stops when they are 14, I don't like the fact that they are so young in the anime/manga considering they are supposed to be trained killers. Now on with the chapter.
Chapter 6
Seven Years Later:
Naruto dropped his sword to the ground and sat down next to it panting heavily. He just finished sparring against Yugao, Hayate, Tenshi, and Kanari. For the last two years his training had consisted of sparring mainly against two or more people and he always had his ass handed to him since they didn't hold back a lot. That isn't to say he can't do any damage to them considering the others are on the ground panting as well. Naruto now stood at 5' 11" and was very well toned and had a very athletic body. His hair had grown out a lot more and stopped just above his shoulders. Naruto looked to his friends and grinned before saying, "Well that was a fun spar, and looks like I finally managed to get you all tired."
"You're still a damn stamina freak." Tenshi said as she lay back panting. Tenshi now stood at 5' 7" and was just a little smaller than how her body was when Naruto first met her and Kanari. Kanari was the same way with each wearing their battle kimono's.
"I have to agree with you there." Hayate said while coughing lightly.
Naruto pouted as the other two agreed with them. Naruto lay there for about ten more minutes before standing up and helped his two closest friends up before moving to Yugao and Hayate and helping them up. Once they were up he said, "I'm going to head back home to wash up."
The others nodded as he left and talked amongst themselves for a while before heading separate ways. After a few minutes of running over roof tops, Naruto landed on the ground in front of his house they all shared and headed inside for the bathroom. Once he was in there he threw off his trench coat and shirt and looked in the mirror, it had become a habit for him, every time he saw his reflection and what was on his chest, it reminded him of the night seven years ago for when he first changed. Naruto sighed as he let his ears and tail out to stretch them and chuckled lightly as to how he reacted to when he saw them the first time.
Flashback:
Sarutobi slowly stood up and started walking for the operation room when all of the sudden there was a bright flash of red light coming from it and he immediately ran for it followed quickly by Kakashi to see what just happened. When they burst into the room they saw Naruto slowly sitting up and they both stared at him in complete and utter shock. Naruto saw them and saw the way they were looking at him and asked, "What's wrong Oji-san, Kakashi-nii?"
They were too shocked to tell Naruto that he now had fox ears and a fox tail.
After a few minutes Naruto couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Sarutobi was the first to recover and asked, "Naruto-kun, do you feel any different?"
"No, why?" Naruto asked confused.
Kanari then grabbed a mirror from a closet and handed it to Naruto and said, "Look at your reflection and you'll see why."
Naruto was confused but still looked into the mirror and almost dropped it in shock. His reflection showed him with blonde fox ears with white tips and his once blue eyes were now red with slits down the middle, he also saw that he now had fangs. Naruto dropped the mirror and looked at Sarutobi asking, "What happened to me Oji-san?"
"I have no idea Naruto-kun." Sarutobi replied.
Naruto then turned to Kanari and Tenshi and asked, "Do you two know what happened?"
Tenshi nodded slightly and said, "Considering the ears and tail, you have become a demon somehow, well a half-demon or hanyou as it is the proper name. Though I have no idea how it happened."
Naruto heard nothing after she said tail and was staring intently behind him at the tail that was swaying slightly as if it was caught in a breeze. A few seconds later Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs, "I HAVE A TAIL!"
Tenshi whimpered slightly at the sudden rise in volume as she covered her ears and Kanari said in a shaky voice, "I think I have an idea as to how it happened Naruto-kun."
Sarutobi said, "Please explain what you think happened Kanari-chan."
She nodded slightly and said, "It's my fault honestly, it must be from how I took Tenshi-chan from the seal and left her chakra inside Naruto-kun. Since the yokai was cut off from its demon source it must have took root into Naruto-kun and when the man who tried killing him did all this to him, it must have reacted the same way that Tenshi always healed him. The only problem with that is since there was no one controlling it; it had imbedded itself into Naruto-kun's DNA system."
When she stopped speaking she looked to the ground sadly and said, "I'm so sorry Naruto-kun."
Naruto walked over to her and wrapped her in a hug saying, "IT's alright Kanari-chan, I don't blame you. I actually kind of like the tail and ears."
Kanari's response was to hug him tighter as she said, "You're to god damn forgiving sometimes Naruto-kun, you know that right?"
Naruto along with everyone else blinked slightly at her choice of words before they all laughed as Naruto said, "I know, but that's how I am."
Kanari hugged him tighter as Sarutobi spoke up saying, "Well since you're alright now Naruto-kun, let's get you all into bed so you can be ready for the academy tomorrow."
Naruto deadpanned and asked, "How am I supposed to go to the academy with fox ears and tail?"
"Good point." Sarutobi said while rubbing his head as he thought, 'I need a good night's rest now, I can't even think straight.'
"I'll teach you how to hide your demonic features Naruto-kun." Tenshi told him.
End Flashback:
Naruto laughed again as he remembered how long it took him to get hiding his tail and ears. He could hide his claws easily and his fangs he couldn't hide at all but that didn't bother him, he liked the look it gave him. Naruto sighed as he looked at his chest again and traced the scar that spelled out DEMON SCUM and thought, 'I'll show them all that I'm not demon scum.'
His demonic abilities had given him more strength to where he could lift a boulder that was as tall as him with both arms, one about half his size in one arm but couldn't do two at once, that was too much for him. It also increased his speed substantially; he could now run as fast as Kakashi without his weight seals that Kanari gave to him active. His healing was just a tiny bit faster than it was before when Tenshi was the one healing him since it was his own energy doing the work now. What he liked the most was the increase in chakra, he now had more than the Hokage but just a little more, his control was around chunin standards so he still had trouble with the more precise jutsus' and genjutsu was now impossible entirely for him, instead he could use demonic illusions which were more powerful but far more taxing, he could only cast his strong one once before it drained him of his chakra.
Naruto sighed again and went into the shower to get cleaned up. As he got in, both Kanari and Tenshi just entered the house and headed for the table to sit down till Naruto was done. When they were both sitting down Tenshi asked, "So Kanari-chan, when are you going to tell Naruto-kun about his parents?"
"Tomorrow night once he passes the exam; that was our promise." Kanari said.
"How do you think he will take it?" Tenshi asked her.
"With what I'm doing I have no idea, I just hope he doesn't blame them for anything that happened." Kanari replied.
"I don't think he will, but he might be a bit upset with them for what his father had to do." Tenshi said a little sadly.
"What about you? Do you plan on doing anything for him?" Kanari asked curiously.
"Yep, I'm giving him the summoning contract, but I'm doing that tonight so he can get it all set up." Tenshi said with a smile.
Kanari smiled with her and said, "I'm sure he'll love that, it's also rather fitting for him."
"What's rather fitting for me?" Naruto asked. He had walked down the stairs and heard the last part of what they were saying.
Both girls jumped slightly at the sound of his voice; that was one thing they really hated about the changes he went through as a hanyou now, he had unparalleled stealth for anyone his age, he could give some Anbu a run for their money in it. Tenshi stood up and walked towards Naruto and said, "I have a gift for you if you will Naruto-kun."
Naruto was immediately all ears and was practically bouncing as he asked, "What is it."
Tenshi held out her hand and concentrated, and after a few moments a long scroll appeared in her hand and she said, "This is my gift to you, it is the fox summoning contract, you will be the first one to sign it as to the fact no one has ever proven their worth and you have many times over."
Naruto's eyes bulged and he took the offered scroll with a shaky hand. He then asked, "What do I do now?"
"Sign your name in blood and then mark each of your fingers in blood and leave a print of each finger in the space below your name." Tenshi told him.
Naruto did as instructed and then asked, "What now?"
"Let's go outside for this part, you will use the hand signs dog, monkey, boar, and ram in that order and then slap your hand on the ground while pumping your chakra into the summoning, the more you use the bigger the summon for now stick to a smaller summon." Tenshi explained for him.
Naruto nodded eagerly and they went outback for Naruto to try out the summoning. Once they were in the middle of their back yard Naruto did the necessary hand signs and called out, Kuchiyose no Jutsu."
There was a big puff of smoke and when it cleared they saw a girl who looked to be around 25 with five fox tails standing there. Tenshi blinked several times before saying, "Himori-chan?"
Said girl looked over and saw Tenshi and gasped before tackling her and yelled, "KYUU-CHAN!"
Tenshi laughed and hugged her tightly and said, "It's so good to see you again Himori-chan."
Himori smiled brightly as she broke the hug and pulled them both up saying, "It's great to see you too, but how did I get here? Did you summon me and where have you been?"
Tenshi laughed before saying, "You were summoned here but not by me, you were summoned by Naruto-kun who is standing behind you."
Himori blinked and looked behind her and saw Naruto standing there. She walked up to him and sniffed him and said, "You smell like us, why is that?"
Tenshi walked over to her and said, "That's a long story for another time, but Naruto-kun here is our first summoner so please be nice to him."
Himori nodded slightly before saying, "It's an honor to meet you Naruto-Sama."
Naruto blinked before saying, "Just Naruto please, I don't really like formalities."
Himori nodded before turning back to Tenshi and asked, "So where have you been, you didn't answer me."
"Let's go inside for this, it's going to take a while to explain it all." Tenshi said as she motioned towards the house.
Once they were inside and seated at the table Tenshi started explaining everything that happened to her and how she ended up sealed inside Naruto. She then explained how she had gotten out and why she was still here and not back at their homeland. When she finished speaking it had been about an hour and she said, "That's just about everything that happened."
Himori nodded and stood up before bowing before Kanari and said, "It's an honor to meet you as well Kami-Sama."
Kanari rolled her eyes again at having to go through this again and she said, "Just Kanari is fine, I haven't been called Kami-Sama in seven years and I don't want it starting up again while I'm here."
Himori nodded and said, "It is still an honor to meet you."
At this moment Kakashi walked into the house from just getting back from his mission and saw Himori sitting there with Naruto and the others and he blushed at how beautiful he thought she was. He walked over to them and asked, "Who is our guest?"
Himori looked at Kakashi and said, "I am Himori, one of the fox summons that Naruto can summon."
Kakashi looked slightly crestfallen at hearing she was a summon and asked, "Wait when did you learn how to summon Naruto?"
"Just today not long ago, she was the first one I summoned and knew Tenshi-chan somehow. How did you two know each other?" Naruto replied.
"We were very close friends and we considered ourselves as sisters from how strong our friendship was." Tenshi told them.
"Sounds like you two were very close then." Kakashi said.
"We did just about everything together." Tenshi said and then turned to Naruto before continuing, "Naruto-kun, we probably should get to bed, we have the graduation exam tomorrow after all."
Naruto nodded before saying, "Alright, Himori, if you could tell more of your kind about me so we don't have to do this every time, I'd be very thankful."
Himori bowed and said, "Of course I can Naruto, I'll see you all another time." And with that she dispelled herself.
Naruto turned to Kakashi and said, "Well good night aniki, we'll see you tomorrow."
Kakashi eye smiled and patted him on the shoulder as he and the two girls went to their respective rooms for a good night's rest.
Next morning at the academy:
Naruto, Tenshi, and Kanari all just arrived inside their classroom and took their seats next to Shino and their other friends Shikamaru and Choji. They all had become fast friends and even got Shino too speak more than one liners even if he didn't speak a whole lot more and was still very formal. After greeting all their friends they waited for Iruka to start the class and a few minutes later the bell signaled for the day to begin. Iruka stepped forward and started calling out to see who was there.
"Shino Aburame?"
"Here." Shino replied stoically.
"Choji Akimichi?"
"Here." Choji replied as he munched away on his chips.
"Sakura Haruno?"
"Here." Came the shrill tone from the diehard Sasuke fan girl.
"Hinata Hyuga?"
"Here Iruka-sensei." Hinata stuttered out.
"Kiba Inuzuka?"
"Here." Kiba said with Akamaru barking along with him.
"Shikamaru Nara?"
"Here." Shikamaru practically snored out.
"Kanari?"
"Here." Kanari replied.
"Tenshi?"
"Here." Tenshi replied with her own foxy grin causing Iruka to shudder slightly; he got that enough when she and Naruto were planning pranks.
"Sasuke Uchiha?"
"Hn." Came the brooding tone. Sasuke had never been the same after his clan was massacred by his older brother.
"Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Here, believe it!" Naruto shouted out while thinking, 'Thank god I can stop this fucking act after today. I also can burn this orange monstrosity.' After he got back to the academy Naruto started faking his skill so he would be underestimated by all the others and had started wearing that dreadful orange jumpsuit.
"Ino Yamanka?"
"Here." The other diehard Sasuke fan girl yelled out.
When he finished with the rest of the class (cannon fodder with names not needed) he said, "Well class, today is the day of the graduation exam, the exam will be broken into three parts; a practical test, a written test, then Ninjustu and genjutsu together." He then turned to his assistant and asked, "Mizuki, could you pass out the written exam please?"
Mizuki nodded and started to pass out the test and was careful to give Naruto his test last. When Naruto saw his test he face faulted as he saw the genjutsu over it that had jumbled up his questions and entirely replaced others. 'So Mizuki is definitely trying to get me to fail the test, but why?'
Naruto dispelled the genjutsu which was about all he could do with regular ones and started working on his test. 45 minutes later Iruka called out, "Pencils down, times up now."
Iruka and Mizuki went around collecting all the tests and as Mizuki picked up Naruto's paper he could help but clench his fist in anger and thought, 'Damn demon brat saw through the genjutsu somehow.'
Once all the papers had been collected Iruka called out, "Alright everyone, please follow us out onto the field for the practical exam. The students followed the teachers out onto the field and lined up in the usual area. When they were all there, Iruka called out, "Alright when I call your name I want you to come up and throw ten kunai and ten shruiken at the target 30 meters away and then another ten of each at the target 50 meters away. Shino Aburame, please come forward."
Naruto watched as his friend scored on average 90 on each target with each ring on the target being worth different scores. He started to doze a bit as he waited for his name to be called. About 40 minutes later he heard Sasuke get called up and sat up to see what he could do. Sasuke took the weapons and threw them with 9/10 being bulls-eye on the first target and 7/10 being bulls-eye on the second target. Sasuke walked back to his spot and as he went past Naruto he muttered, "Beat that dobe."
When Iruka called out his name Naruto turned to Kanari and asked, "Can I please stop having to mask my skill now, I'm sick of all the shit I receive from this class and I want to prove them wrong now."
Kanari sighed and said, "Fine, just don't overdo it."
Naruto smirked and said, "Wouldn't dream of it."
Naruto then walked up to where the weapons were and took the weapons that were left for him and he frowned when he saw their condition; they were chipped and very blunt. He sighed as he took all ten kunai and charged them with his chakra so they could pierce the target. He took aim and threw them all at once and watched in satisfaction as each kunai hit a bulls-eye. He then repeated the process with the shruiken and then again for the further back target. He walked back to his spot with his friends leaving a bug eyed Iruka behind. Sasuke was seething at what Naruto had done.
'It's just like the first time we did this, only this time he didn't blow the target up.' Iruka thought to himself and called out for the rest of the class to finish.
When everyone finished Iruka called out, "Alright everyone to the sparring mats so we can grade you on taijutsu."
When they were all at the sparring mats Iruka said, "Alright everyone this will be boys vs. boys and girls vs. girls. When I call your name you will step up into the ring and fight using taijutsu only. Now will Shino and Choji please come forward?"
Shino and Choji came forward and prepared to fight and once Iruka called out for them to begin, Choji charged forward and threw a punch at Shino who blocked by crossing his arms and grimaced from how strong the attack was and sent out a kick into Choji's gut causing him to stumble back slightly. Shino took this chance and grabbed Choji by the arm and pulled his arm behind his back while twisting it painfully and said, "Surrender Choji-san."
Choji grimaced and said, "I will not surrender."
Choji then head butted backwards and hit Shino in the nose causing him to let go and fall backwards. As he was falling Shino quickly stuck his arm out and did a one armed handstand to get balance back before spinning and hit Choji in the face with a kick causing him to fall down. Shino then stood back up and waited for Choji to do the same. When Choji got up he charged at Shino again and grabbed him by both arms before Shino could do anything and pushed him towards the edge of the ring and just before Shino stumbled out he had grabbed Choji by the arm and pulled him with him and they both fell out of the ring at the same time.
Iruka quickly called out, "It's a tie. That was a very impressive match you two, now go sit down and rest up."
As the two went to sit down after congratulating each other and Iruka called out, "Alright next can Kiba and Shikamaru come forward please?"
Kiba and Shikamaru probably had the fastest match out of them all as to the fact Shikamaru just walked out of the ring while saying, "It's to troublesome to do this."
Iruka shook his head and called out, "Sasuke and Naruto please come forward."
The two teenagers came into the ring glaring at each other. Each got into their own fighting stance, Naruto in the one he was taught from Kanari and Sasuke in his tradition family fighting style. As soon as Iruka told them to begin Sasuke charged for Naruto and sent a round house kick for his chest which Naruto blocked to everyone's great surprise. Naruto grabbed on to the leg that Sasuke kicked with and pulled him off balance and when he had Sasuke off balance he threw out his own kick into Sasuke's chest knocking him down much to the dismay of Sasuke's fan girls. Sakura screeched out, "Iruka-sensei, Naruto-baka cheated, there's no way he could do that to Sasuke-kun!"
"Naruto did no such thing Sakura so stop saying he cheated." Iruka said sternly and effectively got Sakura to quiet down.
Sasuke then stood up and glared at Naruto and said, "Lucky shot dobe, it won't happen again."
Naruto sighed as he remembered how good of friends he and Sasuke were before the massacre happened. He was so lost in thought that he barely managed to dodge a punch from Sasuke and then retaliated by sending his fist into Sasuke's chest and knocked him to the ground once again. Sasuke was seething from ground and thought, 'How is this dobe beating me? I am an elite, an Uchiha; I should be the one winning.'
Sasuke then spun on the ground and kicked Naruto's legs out from under him and jumped back up as Naruto hit the ground. He charged for Naruto who was trying to get back up but as he got close Naruto kicked out with his leg and hit Sasuke in the knee causing his leg to buckle and he stumbled which gave Naruto time to get up. When he was fully upright he grabbed Sasuke by the arm and kicked him in the chest hard succeeding in knocking him out of the ring. When Sasuke hit the ground outside the ring and his fan girls cried out things like Naruto had cheated and that Sasuke never fell out of the ring. Iruka just sighed before he yelled, "QUIET DOWN! Now Naruto won fair and square. Now will the girls please get ready for their matches and will Sakura and Hinata step forward."
The two girls entered the ring as Naruto and Sasuke left and prepared to fight. Sakura declared, "I will win this fight and then Sasuke-kun will love me forever!"
When Iruka let them begin Sakura ran for Hinata and tried to punch her but Hinata blocked her punch and then sent a Juken strike into Sakura's chest and knocked her out cold. This was the seconds fastest match which caused Iruka to sigh as he thought, 'Sakura is all book smarts still.'
Hinata returned to her spot as Mizuki carried Sakura to the hospital wing. Iruka then called out, "Kanari and Tenshi please come forward."
As the two girls started to go to the ring, Naruto stopped them and said, "Don't destroy the mat this time."
Both girls grinned and Tenshi said, "No promises."
When the two of them got to the ring Iruka took a few steps back so he doesn't get caught in the cross fire again and told them to begin. The two girls clashed immediately and tried to overpower each other. Kanari pushed as hard as she could against Tenshi but she held firm against her. Tenshi then swept her leg out and tripped Kanari and she landed on top of her and wrapped her arm around her neck and her other arm around her arms. She also locked her legs around Kanari's and she said, "Forfeit, you haven't ever been able to beat me once I got you like this."
Kanari sighed and knew she was right, Tenshi was always a little stronger physically then her since they came to stay with Naruto. "Iruka-sensei, I forfeit."
"Winner is Tenshi." Iruka called out and Tenshi released Kanari.
The two girls walked back to Naruto and Naruto said, "Well that was rather fast but that's how all you're fights are somehow, at least you saved the mat this time."
Kanari and Tenshi both smiled at Naruto and Tenshi said, "Only because you asked us not to Naruto-kun."
They sat down next to Naruto as Iruka called out for Ino and some cannon fodder to fight which was a pretty boring fight in Naruto's opinion. When everyone else finished their fights Iruka called for them to enter the classroom again for the final portion of the exam. When they all took their seats in the class room Naruto started to meditate until his name was called.
"Naruto Uzumaki." He heard Iruka shout from the office and when he looked up he saw only he and Ino were left in the room.
'Wow, time flies when you meditate.' Naruto thought as he went down into the office where he would be tested.
When he entered the office he saw Iruka and Mizuki sitting behind a desk and he stood in front of them and waited for instructions. Iruka then said, "Alright Naruto, first I want you to use a genjutsu and we'll grade you on how powerful it is and then you will dispel one that we put on you."
'Crap, I can't use one of my demonic illusions for this.' Naruto thought so he said, "Iruka-sensei, I can't do genjutsu since I have very high chakra reserves, but I can dispel them." Not the total truth but not a lie either.
"Fine then dispel this genjutsu." Iruka said and he flashed through some hand signs and Naruto's world began to flip around so everything looked reverse now. Naruto formed the ram sign and said, "Kai!" and dispelled the genjutsu placed on him.
Iruka looked impressed at how fast he dispelled it and Mizuki was seething as he thought, 'Damn it I need the demon brat to fail.'
"Alright now for the ninjutsu, please Kawarimi with the log in the corner."
Naruto nodded and quickly switched places with the log before switching back and asked, "What's next?"
"Now will you please use the Henge technique, anything will do." Iruka told him.
Naruto thought for a moment before he henged and when the smoke cleared Iruka and Mizuki both gasped; standing in front of them was Naruto henged into the Yondime and it was down to the last detail. Iruka quickly asked, "Naruto what made you choose the Yondime and how did you get the look down so well?"
Naruto dispelled the henge and said, "I choose the Yondime because I've always looked up to him and I want to surpass his accomplishments and be the best Hokage for this village. As to how I got it so well, I spend a lot of time in the Hokage's office when I'm not busy and there's a portrait of him in it."
"It was very impressive Naruto, now will you please you the bunshin no jutsu?" Iruka told him.
"Iruka-sensei, I cannot do a normal bunshin for the same reason as to why I cannot do genjutsu, am I allowed to use a different kind?"
"That's fine Naruto." Iruka replied just before Mizuki was about to shout "You fail!"
Naruto smirked and made a cross shape with two fingers out and yelled, "Kage no Bunshin!" and five other Naruto's popped into existence causing Iruka's eyes to bulge again and caused Mizuki to seethe in anger more.
"Where did you learn that technique Naruto, it's a kinjutsu?" Iruka asked quite shocked.
"Oji-san taught it too me since I couldn't get the normal one right." Naruto lied; he didn't want to say that Kanari taught it to him.
"Very well Naruto, and congratulations, you graduate!" Iruka exclaimed happily, he was very happy for Naruto since he saw him as a younger brother; he just tried not to show it at school so no one would think he was playing favorites.
'God damnit, now I have to get the scroll myself.' Mizuki thought to himself.
Naruto walked up to the remaining Hitai-ate's and grabbed one that had a black cloth so it would match his clothing back home. He then bowed to his sensei's and left the classroom to meet up with his friends. Once he got outside and over to his friends he was pulled aside by Kanari who whispered, "Go back home, I'll meet you there in a few minutes, it's time I upheld my promise to you."
Naruto went wide eyed and nodded before waving good bye to his friends saying he had something to do and sped off home. Kanari walked back to their little group and said, "I must go now as well, Naruto-kun and I have something important to do."
She then left to go back home and Tenshi thought, 'I should head back so I can give him his other gift to.'
Blushing slightly she excused herself from their friends before heading home.
At their house Naruto was waiting impatiently for Kanari to get there. A few minutes later Kanari showed up and Naruto jumped over to her and asked, "Who were they?"
Kanari sighed and said, "Step outback Naruto-kun."
Naruto immedietly went outback and Kanari followed right after him. When she got outside she made some hand signs and a barrier arose around their house and yard; she then said, "Only Tenshi-chan, Kakashi, and Sarutobi can enter the house now while this barrier is up, anyone else who tries will be knocked out. Also no one can hear us speak."
"Who were they then?" Naruto asked desperately. It's been eating away at him for a long while about who his parents were.
"I'm not going to tell you Naruto-kun, I am going to show you." Kanari said while stepping back.
"Huh?" was all Naruto could say.
All of a sudden there was a bright flash of light which caused Naruto to cover his eyes from the sheer brightness. When he uncovered his eyes he gasped in shock; there standing in front of him was Minato Namikaze and a woman who had long red hair. Kanari walked over to him and said, "I arranged this to be possible years ago so that you could spend a little time with your parents and so they could see how you grew up into a fine young man. The man is your father I'm sure you have guessed and if you don't know he is Minato Namikaze and his wife; your mother is Kushina Uzumaki."
Naruto slumped to the ground and said weakly, "Ka-san? Tou-san?"
Minato and Kushina smiled happily and Kushina walked over to Naruto and wrapped him in a tight hug as she said, "Hello my Sochi."
Naruto couldn't take it anymore, he grasped her and held on tightly as he cried and cried. He couldn't believe he was being held by his mother. They stayed in the embrace for a good 20 minutes before Naruto finally stopped crying enough to stand up. He broke off from the hug and walked over to Minato who smiled and said, "Hello Naruto-kun."
Naruto looked at the man and then planted his fist into his gut as hard as he could. Minato gasped in pain as Kanari and Kushina stared in shock. Minato coughed before he said, "Just one hit? I expected you to hit me far more than that."
"WHY? WHY DID YOU SEAL THE KYUUBI INTO YOUR OWN CHILD?" Naruto screamed at him with tears falling down his face again.
"Because I knew you could handle it and how could I ask someone else to use their own child Naruto-kun?" Minato said sadly.
"Do you know what I had to go through because of you?" Naruto asked incredulously.
Minato and Kushina both nodded solemnly; Kanari told them everything that happened to Naruto including the transformation. Kushina spoke up then and said, "We were told everything by Kanari-chan Naruto-kun. I don't know how we can ever make it up to you."
Naruto looked over to them before laughing lightly and said, "It's okay Ka-san, while I may be upset that you had to do it to me, I forgive you."
Kushina gasped and Minato's eyes widened and he asked, "How can you forgive us? How can you forgive me?"
"If you hadn't sealed Tenshi-chan into me, I would have never met the two most precious people to me." Naruto said while smiling warmly.
Before Minato or Kushina could say anything they heard a crash from the house and saw Kakashi standing there with a glass shattered on the ground staring at them wide eyed. Kakashi was shaking and asked, "Sensei? Kushina-chan?"
Kushina smiled brightly and ran over to Kakashi and pulled him into a tight hug saying, "Kashi-kun!"
Kakashi didn't know what to do, there in front of him was his sensei who had been dead for 14 years and Kushina was hugging him. He hugged Kushina back shakily and asked, "How?"
Minato walked over and put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder and said, "It was part of the promise Kanari-chan made to Naruto all those years ago, she let us come visit him for the day."
A sob wracked Kakashi as he pulled Minato into the hug and hugged them tighter. Naruto and Kanari smiled at the sight before them and they heard Minato say, "Kakashi it wasn't your fault, we never thought you failed us when Obito and Rin died."
Kakashi could only hug them tighter. Tenshi had been inside watching them and also smiled at what she saw and thought, 'I'll leave them be for now.'
A few minutes later the three of them broke the hug and Minato turned to Naruto and said, "I have to say Naruto, you turned into a fine young man."
Naruto grinned and said, "It's thanks to aniki, Kanari-chan, and Tenshi-chan. They were the ones that turned my life around." When finished speaking he was smiling warmly at Kanari.
Kushina and Minato smiled and Kushina said, "Well Naruto-kun, remember to protect them with your all, if you can stop it, never let them fall to harm if they are that precious to you."
Naruto smiled as he said, "I will always protect them!"
His parents smiled at how caring he was for them when they started flickering lightly and Minato said, "Looks like our time is up."
Kushina smiled sadly and said, "We have to go now sochi, remember that we will always love you."
Minato put his arm on top of Naruto's head and rubbed it affectionately as he said, "Make sure you become greater then I was Naruto-kun, and get that old monkey to give you all the things we left for you and our clan home instead of living in our summer home."
Naruto's eyes widen at hearing that; all this time he had been living in his parent's summer home and didn't even know it. He hugged his parents again and said, "I'll do that Tou-san." He teared up a little bit before continuing, "I love you Tou-san, Ka-san."
Kushina and Minato hugged him back and Kushina said, "Take care of him Kashi-kun." And with that they both faded away leaving Naruto standing there alone.
Kakashi bowed his head and said to himself, "Hai Kushina-chan, sensei. I will not let you down."
Kakashi then turned to Naruto and said, "I'm going back inside, don't stay out here too long."
When Kakashi turned and went back into the house Naruto turned to Kanari and said, "I have a gift for you to Kanari-chan."
"Oh what is it Naruto-kun?" She asked curiously.
Instead of answering verbally Naruto walked over to her and when he was in front of her, he leaned down and kissed her softly. Kanari's eyes widened in surprise as she felt him kiss her but soon closed them and fell into the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck as the kiss deepened while he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. They kissed like that for a few more minutes before Naruto broke off and said while holding her to him, "For the last few years I've come to realize that I fell in love with you Kanari-chan, I just couldn't bring myself to say it for the longest time."
Kanari smiled and tightened her grip on Naruto and she said, "I love you Naru-kun."
Naruto blinked back a few tears and said, "I love you too Kana-chan." Before kissing her again.
As they kissed again Tenshi was about to walk outside holding a tray of food on it and when she did she saw Naruto and Kanari kissing. She felt her heart stop and she dropped the tray she was holding before running back inside and heading out the front door with tears coming down her face. When Naruto and Kanari heard the crash from the tray hitting the ground they jumped apart and saw Tenshi running back into the house before she went back out the front door. Kanari looked down sadly, she had suspicions that Tenshi loved Naruto and this pretty much confirmed it for her. She turned to Naruto who was looking at a note on the ground that was mixed in all the food and it said "I love you Naruto" on it.
Kanari put her hand on Naruto's shoulder and said, "We should go find her."
Naruto nodded softly and the two of them started looking around the village for Tenshi. After searching for a half hour Kanari stopped and said to Naruto, "We should split up and look for her."
Naruto nodded and ran off in another direction in hopes of finding her somewhere, he had to apologize for what she saw but he couldn't deny his feelings. Naruto ran around the leaf village for about another hour and a half before he stopped by the Hokage tower and put his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. After a few minutes of recovering he looked to the top of the tower and thought, 'Maybe I can ask Oji-san what I should do. I don't want her to be sad but I love Kanari-chan.'
So with that thought Naruto went into the tower and knocked on the Hokage's office door. After hearing "Enter" Naruto went inside and saw Sarutobi doing some paperwork. When the Hokage looked up and saw Naruto there he blinked in surprise and asked, "What are you doing here at this hour Naruto-kun?"
"I need help Oji-san." Naruto said.
"What is it Naruto-kun?" Sarutobi asked slightly concerned at how sad Naruto looked.
So for the next 20 minutes, Naruto explained what happened between him and Kanari and how Tenshi reacted. When he finished explaining he said, "I don't know what to do Oji-san, I don't want Tenshi-chan to be hurt but I love Kanari-chan."
Sarutobi thought for a few minutes before he said, "Tell me Naruto-kun, do you love Tenshi at all?"
Naruto thought for a bit before saying, "In all truths, I love her like I love Kanari-chan, I just realized I loved Kanari-chan first and just now realized that I love Tenshi-chan as well. What am I supposed to do?" He cried out the last part with a few tears going down his face.
"I have a solution, but you may not like it Naruto-kun." Sarutobi said quietly.
"What is it Oji-san?" Naruto asked desperately.
"We could enact the CRA on you." Sarutobi told Naruto.
"What's the CRA?" Naruto asked confused.
"CRA stands for Clan Restoration Act, now normally this is used for people who are the last of a blood line and we do it to rebuild the clan but what it is, is that it states the clan member put under it is to practice polygamy. In other words you take on multiple wives, however if we do this, there is a minimum of how many wives you can take."
Naruto pondered this for a bit before asking, "How would this work though? I don't have a bloodline."
"That's where my other idea comes into play, when I bring the subject up with the council, we tell them of your heritage if you want and we use your demonic features as an effect of a bloodline." The Hokage explained for him.
Naruto thought for a little bit longer before saying, "I'll do it, I want Kanari-chan and Tenshi-chan to be happy, but I won't take anyone on as an arranged marriage I want to choose who my wives will be since I will go through with this. Now what is the minimum?"
Sarutobi smiled at Naruto and said, "The minimum is five wives."
Naruto twitched lightly at hearing five wives but he said, "So be it, I'll do it to make Kanari-chan and Tenshi-chan happy but I won't choose anyone else but those who actually love me."
"Of course Naruto-kun, now let's see if I can find Tenshi for you." The Hokage said as he pulled out a crystal ball.
After searching with the crystal ball for a few minutes Sarutobi found Tenshi sitting next to Kanari on top of the Hokage monument and he quickly told Naruto where to go. Naruto dashed out of the office and to the monument. When he got there he could smell a lot of salt in the air and grimaced as he thought, 'She must have cried heavily.'
He saw Kanari and Tenshi sitting on top of his father's stone head and he quickly approached them. When they saw him arrive Kanari stood up and pulled Tenshi up with her. Naruto pulled Kanari to the side and quickly explained what he was told by the Hokage and what he could do for them now. Kanari smiled at how Naruto chose to do this to make them happy and said, "Go to her then."
Naruto walked over to Tenshi and pulled her into a hug. Tenshi grasped on to him and buried her head into his chest and Naruto said the three words she so desperately wanted to say to him earlier, "I love you."
Tenshi froze when she heard that and slowly looked up at him and Naruto kissed her lightly. Tenshi fell into the kiss immediately and deepened it as fast as she could. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Naruto pulled away and said, "Shi-chan, I love you just like I love Kana-chan; when we were looking for you separately I had gone to Oji-san for advice and he told me that I qualify for the CRA, the clan restoration act. I took it so you could be with me as well since I couldn't bear to see you sad."
Tenshi hugged him tighter and whispered, "Arigato Naruto-kun."
Kanari walked over to them and was pulled into the hug by Naruto to which she hugged back. They all stayed like that for a few minutes before Naruto broke away from them and said, "Come on let's get back home, we still have team placements tomorrow after all."
And there's chapter 6 done, I hope you all liked it and also I have a poll on my profile now about Sasuke for if he should go to Orochimaru or get sense beaten into him before he can go. Have a good one.
