'Kyuubi talking'
'thoughts'
My fun thinking
He couldn't believe that he was stuck in his ratty apartment while his elder sister was busy fighting off the strongest force known to his home village.
Urgh! The fact that Itsumi herself told Naruto to stay in his assigned village angered him. She said he was too young and wouldn't understand. Hah! She was the age of a chunin fighting off S-class criminals!
Naruto may have only been six but he knew that his adopted sister was expecting her second child. With a two year old at her house in the Mist Village also!
The fact that his sister was pregnant at the tender age of sixteen did not bother him all too much. Oh no. it was the fact that said pregnant 16 year-old was FIGHTING that pissed him off.
He fumed around his dingy place as he thought of ways to make his sister's life hell when she came back. Just when he realized that lighting her house on fire with a few fire bombs was a bad idea his communication device rang. He looked at the small screen and realized it was his sister's fiancé, Naotaka.
He picked up the phone and listened carefully as Naotaka practically yelled at him. Apparently the battle was going badly and that the Akikage, Niziku, had fallen with serious casualties.
It's been three hours since that call and all Naruto's previous fears had worsened. He has yet to receive any news since and thoughts of their deaths ran through his head. All he could think of as to why they hadn't called was because they had died in battle. Slightly morbid thoughts for a six year old but he was forced to grow up fast.
He had finally decided to go to the battlefield despite what all his friends told him when the communication device went off once more. He slowly stalked over to it and looked wearily at the speaker.
He carefully picked up said speaker and whispered a hesitant "hello." While desperately hoping that his sister would yell "Hey sweetie you missed ALL the FUN" in that hyper little voice that she knew would annoy everyone. But that was not so.
"Aha. I told you there were more." The voice made Naruto freeze as his eyes widened in despair. He did NOT know that voice and he knew the voice of EVERYONE in the Death Village seeing as it wasn't all that large yet.
"Who are you?" he asked quietly, afraid that his voice would crack in the middle of the small sentence. He desperately hoped that what he thought wasn't true.
"Why I am the destroyer of the puny little Death Village, and who are you?" the man asked with his voice ever so wickedly sweet.
Naruto simply stared at the small one by one foot box and hung up as soon as all his thoughts processed. He slid down the wall next to the box and stared blankly at a spot at his feet.
'Kit, are you all right? Kit? Is everything okay?' Kyuubi asked his small host.
'If…if what that man said was true…then I…I lost…I just lost the only family I had ever known…so that means that…that I am…all alone…just like before…so…so…Kyuu…I don't think I am alright…I don't think I'm alright…'Naruto thought to Kyuubi.
And just like that he started to cry. The tears would not stop and after the second day Kyuubi stopped trying to cheer his kit up. The Third came over as soon as he heard that Naruto had skipped a day at the academy. He knocked at the door for days on end but was not let in, not once, and he did NOT want to invade on Naruto's property. But on the sixth day he was greeted with the sight of a Naruto with puffy red eyes answering the door. This was a clear sign that something was wrong.
During his days of solitude Naruto had thought, long and hard over a certain decision. He and Kyuubi agreed that it was high time that someone knew about his past and his current life.
"My name is Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki." Naruto stated to the old man when as he lead him to the tea table. When they both sat down Naruto continued.
"The Yondaime Hokage was my father, Kushina Uzumaki was my mother. I either have or had an elder adopted sister, as I am not sure if she is dead or not. She is ten years older than me and has a male child two years of age. Her fiancé was a seventeen year old named Naotaka Ishida. Her best friends were Fuyuki and Emika Ishida, Naotaka's little brother and sister that were 16 and 15 in that order. As of six days ago, the village I considered my home was destroyed by their fiercest adversary, Otokagure. I don't know if my sister or my friends are alive, as I said earlier, but the Death Village exists no longer." The Third simply blinked at what Naruto just said. Then he walked over to the side of the table that Naruto was seated at and hugged him.
Naruto tried to blink the tears away knowing that he has cried too much as is but they just wouldn't stop as he hugged the old man with the comfort he knew he needed.
After the little love fest that went on the Hokage asked Naruto if he wanted to be adopted. Naruto didn't have to think hard about it all, after all who would want the container of the Nine Tailed Fox. Naruto voiced his opinion also with the fact that it would insult his family and name. He told the old man that he would be fine living on his own in the dingy apartment and left it at that.
The third had no problem with his decision but frowned at the comment about the Fox. He told Naruto that he would bring by supplies when he could and if he couldn't make it he would send someone he trusted to do it.
Life passed peacefully after that and Naruto spent most of it training and making mini grave markers for Itsumi, her unborn child, Naotaka, Emika, Fuyuki, Nuzuku, Niziku, and one slightly bigger one for all the villagers of the Death Village.

"Is that him?"
"Yeah. He's the only one who failed."
"Well, I think that it's a good thing. They should never pass a THING like that."
Naruto snorted from his position on his favorite swing. 'Idiots. They have no idea that Kyuu enhances my hearing and that I can hear every word they say perfectly clear.' Kyuubi growled in agreement.
"Besides, he's an idiot. He doesn't even have what it TAKES to even come close to being a Genin." Another one laughed.
'Hah, if I actually used all the power that I have on these stupid exams I would be promoted to Jounin almost instantly. But, I don't want to scare everyone like that. Though it would be funny.' Kyuubi purred in amusement. 'Although this isn't my home and never will be I STILL value all the people here unlike those obnoxious bastards. Do you think they will finally try and run me out of the village if I summon you in mini form, Kyuu?'
'Probably...you should do it just to freak the hell out of them…' Kyuubi told his charge.
'I am NOT THAT mean Kyuu, I wonder what would happen if I sick you on Sakura? Would you eat her face for me?' Naruto asked Kyuubi hopefully but did not have time to hear it as he was interrupted by his favorite teacher.
"Naruto," he whispered, "what would people say when they look over here and see you actually thinking? Doesn't matter so don't answer it." Iruka said after seeing the look on Naruto's face. "I thought you said that you wanted to pass this time." He was also one of the few that knew about Naruto's past next to being Naruto's favorite teacher.
"I did, believe ME, Iruka-sensei. I did want to pass this year, I just sort of blanked at the test." Naruto grumbled out to his teacher.
"Oh. And why did you blank? I know for a fact that it takes a LOT to make YOU of all people blank, Naruto." Iruka said with a smile. A knowing smile.
Naruto abruptly stood and started walking away from the infernal place. But instead of Iruka staying there, like Naruto thought he would, he got up and started following him.
"Don't you have somewhere to BE, Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked, glaring menacingly at Iruka as he did so.
"Nope! I asked one of the other teachers to cover for me before I went over to talk to you." Iruka smiled. "Now, what I want to know is why, exactly, you were thinking about a certain Uchiha during the exams anyway."
Naruto flushed, brightly. Iruka was also one of the few that knew about his slight (A/N yeah right) crush on Uchiha Sasuke.
"He was standing across from ME! I couldn't help but to stare. So I had trouble paying attention to the exam." Naruto growled out, he was not happy about this at all. He did not like talking about the Uchiha.
"Haha. Sorry Naruto. Maybe you'll pass next time. Because I am pretty sure Uchiha passed so you won't have to worry about staring at him at the exam again. Come on we'll go get some ramen. My treat."
"Thanks Iruka-sensei!" Naruto yelled as he glomped his teacher for a free and fun life to Ichiraku.

After they ate…the sun is setting…
"Well Naruto, let's hope you pass next time okay?"
"You bet Iruka-sensei!" Naruto smiled as they started heading toward home. It was a silent affair and not a word was spoken, but as they reached the cross where Iruka had to turn, said man was run over.
The man who ran over Iruka just kept running and didn't stop to apologize. In Naruto's little big book of Gentleman Conduct this was a BIG no-no. So, Naruto shot out and started chasing the bastard.
"HEY! YOU! STOP!" Naruto yelled as he caught up to the man. If he had wanted to he could have caught up a while ago but he was still in 'stupid Dobe' mode.
When the man finally stopped he spun around to face Naruto with three kunai held in each hand.
"Die Fox Demon!" he yelled as he threw said weapons at said 'demon.' Naruto easily dodged the projectile weapons as he went into his 'I am actually smart' mode. As he stared at the man he took in all the facial features of his attacker and came to a conclusion.
"Mizuki-sensei?" Naruto questioned but before it was answered his communicator 'bzzt' to life and Iruka's voice was heard loud and clear.
"Naruto? Naruto! That was Mizuki! He stole the forbidden scroll!!! The Third Hokage wants you to get it back for him!! It's a B-class mission!!!" Iruka's voice yelled through the device.
"You got it, Iruka-sensei! Tell the old man not to worry I can take care of this." Naruto said back to the man on the mike.
"And Naruto…Hokage-sama wants me to tell you that…Mizuki is trying to take the scroll to Orochimaru so he can destroy Konoha…"and with that the device stopped working again. But it didn't matter to Naruto all he heard was the name of the man he hated the most.
"Hah what do they expect YOU to do? You're just a mangy demon and who CARES that I am taking this to Orochimaru-sama! He's stronger than all the fucker's here!!!" Mizuki laughed loudly. But he was abruptly cut off as Naruto gripped his throat. He squeezed HARD before he threw Mizuki at a tree with such strength that the tree was broken in half on impact.
Mizuki slowly got up with a look of fear in his eyes as he stared at the fierce blue eyes of one Uzumaki Naruto. Said boy slowly walked toward Mizuki and he once again gripped at his throat and spoke to him in a voice that clearly said, 'Listen or DIE!'
"I know that I hold Kyuubi in me…but I also know that he no longer has any harsh feelings toward this village OR I…and you want to know something else? As soon as you gave that scroll to Orochimaru he would have killed you…simply because he could…" Naruto told him in a dangerously low tone, "…not only that but he would have used you in his sick experiments…do you really want to doom yourself to that…do you Mizuki-sensei?" he asked as his face was a mere inches from Mizuki's.
"Naruto! Naruto, don't kill him!" Iruka yelled as he came up to the two.
"Don't worry sensei, I am not that stupid." Naruto growled out as he handed the now unconscious man to his sensei.
"I know you aren't Naruto…thank you for catching him." Iruka said as he ruffled the younger's hair.
"No problem!" Naruto smiled and hid his true feelings of despair. He completed a B-class mission but he is still not a Genin, not only that but bullying Mizuki made him relive his past a little bit.
Iruka, noticing the slightly down fallen face on Naruto, spoke up to the boy. "Naruto close your eyes."
"Huh? Okay Iruka-sensei." He spoke in a confused tone as he shut his eyes. He felt a slight ruffle as something was tied around his head in replace of his old goggles. He felt the warm cloth and sighed.
"Sensei a piece of fabric isn't going to make me…"Naruto trailed off as he felt the metal of a forehead protector on his head. His eyes flew open as he looked at Iruka whose headband was missing and held Naruto's green goggles in his hand.
"Congratulations! You graduate!" Iruka said as he looked at Naruto. A smile spread wildly across said boy's face as he jumped onto his sensei.
"Oh my gosh thank you sensei!" Naruto yelled again, "Now I can be in the same class as teme!!"
"Naruto…if I didn't know any better I would think you are one of his fan-girls!" Iruka laughed at the look of distress on Naruto's face.
"Sensei!!!!" Naruto yelled as they headed to the Hokage tower with Mizuki and the Forbidden Scroll in tow.

Iruka walked into his class room and his eyes were immediately on a blushing Naruto who was seated next to his crush and on the other side of said crush was Naruto's worst enemy. He used to act like he actually liked her but he stopped cause it annoyed the hell out of him. 'Hmm wonder why he is blushing? Oh well I'll ask later.'
"Okay graduates! I am going to assign your teams of three now!" Iruka said in a cheery voice.
"Sensei!!" Sakura yelled out. And Iruka winced at the volume.
"Yes Sakura?" he said politely.
"Why is Naruto here?! He didn't graduate!!!"She yelled. Loudly.
"Because he did a special mission for the Hokage last night and proved himself a capable Genin." Iruka told her softly hoping she would get the hint and lower her voice. Three words. It didn't work.
"What! What did he do?!"She yelled again.
"That's a secret isn't it Naruto?" Iruka asked with a sly look on his face as he winked at Naruto.
"You bet Sensei. The old man told me I wasn't allowed to tell anyone." Naruto smiled.
"Bullshit. Don't lie to me…"Sakura trailed off as the door flew open. In the door way was the Third Hokage.
"Naruto, I came by to make sure you have not and will not tell anyone about your mission last night, okay?" the Third said with a smile. Naruto smiled brightly back as Sakura gave him a dumbfounded look.
"No problem!" Naruto said happily as he turned back to listen to Iruka and Sakura sat back down trying to contemplate what had just happened as the Third left.
"Alright then Team 1…" Iruka started naming off the teams, Naruto sort of blanked while watching Sasuke, again. "Team 7…Uchiha Sasuke…"at that name all the girls not yet chosen for a team looked hopeful, "Haruno Sakura…" said girl jumped up and yelled, "HAH TAKE THAT INO-PIG" Iruka glared at her and she sat down with a 'woops' face on. Iruka sighed at least Naruto was going to be happy.
"...and Naruto Uzumaki…"he sighed out. He looked over to Naruto who had an impassive look on but he knew that he was probably ecstatic on the inside, "your sensei is Hatake Kakashi and you all will meet on the roof."
"Team 8…Aburame Shino, Hyuuga Hinata, and Inuzuka Kiba…your sensei is Yuuhi Kurenai. Team 9…" he continued on in his drawl voice, "Team 10…Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimiki Chouji…your sensei is Sarutobi Asuma. Go and meet your teams in your selected spots." He said as he dismissed them all. And they all left except for Naruto.
"So, Naruto, any particular reason why you were blushing when I came in?" Iruka asked in his you-aren't-going-anywhere-until-you-tell-me voice. And Naruto flushed once more.
"MeandSasukekissedonaccident." Naruto told him quickly. Iruka's eyebrows lifted as he looked on at his favorite student.
"Oh really? And how did you like that?" he asked.
"Oh my GOD it was amazing it wasn't even a real kiss but it felt like I was in freaking heaven!" Naruto said quickly with a fantasizing tone as he held a daydreaming look on his face.
"Maybe one day it won't be an accident, Naruto. Maybe one day you'll finally get the guy of your dreams." Iruka smiled and immediately Naruto looked crestfallen.
"Yeah right. Why would he want to get with someone like me when he has a plethora of people to choose from? Let's face it Sensei he won't even give me a twice over except if he thinks I am worthy enough to even TRY and help him get stronger." Naruto said dejectedly as he started heading to the roof.
"Naruto maybe you'll see it like I do one day…" Iruka sighed as he went on with his daily activities.

"And I thought that I was always late." The man known as Kakashi grumbled as they all waited for their missing member to show up.
"Here I am! Sorry, I had to talk to Iruka-sensei!" said missing member yelled as he barged through the roof door. He walked over with his smile still in place even as Sakura glared at him.
"Great, so now we are going to do an introduction of sorts. Tell us your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and life goal." Kakashi smiled.
"Why don't you go first sensei…"Sakura said shyly.
"Eh…okay…my name is Hatake Kakashi. I don't really like or hate anything. I don't feel like telling you my hobbies or my dream. You're next Miss Pinkette." Kakashi smiled as the younger three face faulted. He didn't tell them anything useful at all!
"My name is Haruno Sakura! I like… (Looks at Sasuke and blushes)…My hobbies are… (Looks at Sasuke and blushes)… My dream is to… (looks at Sasuke and blushes) and I hate Ino-pig and Naruto!" Sakura all but yelled. 'Great a fan-girl just what we need.'
"You're next !" Kakashi yelled while pointing at Sasuke. In return Sasuke just blared at Kakashi.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I like very little and hate very much. My hobbies are none of your concern. My dream is to revive my clan and to kill a certain man." Kakashi blinked and sighed while shaking his head. 'Wonderful. An avenger and a fan-girl. And from what I have heard about the last one we are all screwed.'
"And what about you Blondie?" Kakashi sighed. Naruto looked at the bored faces, none of them really paying attention.
"If you all really don't want to know I won't tell you so we can get on to the next thing a little quicker." Naruto said only a slight bit crestfallen that none of them wanted to know about him. Kakashi, easily noticing the change in Naruto, shook his head.
"Actually it seems that you are hiding something in there…since the attitude change was so fast and all…yes let us ALL LISTEN and hear your deepest darkest secrets. Hide nothing you feel we should know!" Kakashi said in a weird as hell voodoo voice.
"Umm okay…but promise me you won't freak out?" Naruto asked.
"Certainly. Right?" Kakashi said with a glare at the other two who quickly agreed with the man.
"Okay then! My name in Naruto Uzumaki! I like ramen, spending time with Iruka-sensei, talking to Kyuu, and doodling pictures from my past. I dislike people who act fake, people who harm my friends, the three minutes it takes for ramen to cook and people who underestimate me. My hobbies include training, drawing, and talking and/or training with Kyuu! My dream is to get respect from the people in the village, find a few certain people, and make myself a beautiful snake skin bag!" Naruto smiled. The other three occupants of the roof looked dumbfounded. Then Kakashi spoke up after collecting his thoughts.
"Naruto, who exactly is Kyuu?" he asked, highly intrigued by someone would be such a good friend to Naruto that he would talk about him/her so much.
"Oh!" Naruto exclaimed with a look of realization. He bit his thumb and started doing a summoning jutsu. As his hand hit the ground a small puff of smoke appeared. As it settled down and the others got over the shock of Naruto, Dobe of the Year, did a summoning they realized there was a small furry animal in the place of the smoke.
It looked to be a small red fox kittling only the fur was a deep crimson red and as it opened its eyes they realized they were red too. Kakashi's eyes widened considerably when he came to the conclusion that it looked like the Nine Tailed Fox Demon.
"This is Kyuu!" Naruto yelled as he hugged the small fox.
