AN: ok I notice that the last few chapters have been a prelude of Naruto and Sakura but this is where it starts.
Chapter 7: talks of genin and foxes
One year has passed and the genin exams where in one week every one of the students were nervous whether or not, that they'll pass and become official ninjas of Konoha.
'Well the genin exams are coming up,' Sakura said to her inner self, she dubbed Sonya, 'I hope we pass.'
"Of course we'll pass," Sonya said in excitement, "and so will Sasuke-kun and Naruto."
'I have my doubts about Naruto,' Sakura said as she put on her red dress, 'I mean he's been out of class and went he comes to class he does what the other two morons.'
"Yes but it's…" Sonya said.
'His high amount of chakra,' Sakura said with a smile making her inner self irritated.
"Stop doing that," Sonya shouted.
'Sorry can't help it,' Sakura said as she stepped out her door and down stairs, 'any way we need to find a way for you to come out.'
"Damn strait," Sonya said, "it nice in here but, I would like to leave at least once."
"I'm sure we'll find something," Sakura said as she made her way to the kitchen to see her mother cooking wearing a similar dress but longer. "Good morning mom," Sakura greeted, "what are you cooking?"
"A simple breakfast; eggs and toast," Yuri said to her daughter as she made a plate.
"I'm on a diet you know that," Sakura said.
"I don't know why you girls are on those," Yuri said, "I mean your young and food gives you energy."
"There is also fat," Sakura said as she made a glass of OJ, "and eggs are high in that."
"You could use a little fat," Yuri said as she sat down to eat, "your getting way to skinny girl."
"I'm doing it for Sasuke mom," Sakura said, "and no man likes fat girls."
"Since when where you fat," Yuri asked, "the only time I've seen you chubby was when you where a baby."
"Please mom, don't bring that up," Sakura said as she finish her OJ.
"Why not you where so cute," Yuri said with a motherly smile.
"Not now mom," Sakura said as she rinsed out her glass, "by the way where are the men in this family?"
"Well, your father is sleeping in and your uncle wanting to see what Naruto is doing," Yuri said as she cleaned her plate, "as for Naruto he got early."
"Oh no," Sakura said as she shook her head.
"That's right," Yuri said as she sat back down, "he's going to do something big, like last time."
"I wonder what he's going to do," Sakura said as she grabbed her pack.
"I hope it's big," Sonya said, "his last major prank with the paint bombs was funny."
'True, true,' Sakura said in a giggle, 'especially that look on Ino's face.'
"I don't know," Yuri said as she looked at the clock, "but keep an eye out."
"I will," Sakura said as she opened the door, "see ya mom."
"See you in the afternoon dear," Yuri said as she watches her daughter walk thought the door.
Meanwhile an orange dressed boy was on top of the hokage monument enjoying the view, "I love it up here," Naruto said to himself as he looked over the village, "I always have a good view." Naruto then tied a rope around his waist and took out a scroll and unsealed a gallons of paint for five colors, 'since I'm going to be a ninja in one week and be too busy doing ninja stuff. I might as well go with a bang, some thing that no one else will do.' After he finished tying himself he grabbed a gallon of paint and jump in front of the faces of the hokages, "sorry fellas but, I need to put my name in the books," Naruto said as he was talking to them as he dipped his brush in the paint and started his artwork.
At the Academy
"Haruno Sakura," Iruka said giving roll.
"Here," Sakura raised her hand as Iruka marked her present.
'It's been an hour,' Sakura thought, 'I hope I don't get caught in what prank my brother is doing.'
"Don't worry," Sonya said, "as long as we don't let our guard down and stay in the classroom like last time, we'll be fine."
'You're right,' Sakura said.
"Uzumaki Naruto," Iruka said as he looked among the students, "Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka then sighed then looked a Sakura, "Sakura where's Naruto," Iruka asked.
"You're not going to like this," Sakura said, "but he woke up early today."
It was then everyone in the room let moan remembering the last time the orange clad boy got up early to pull a prank.
Flashback
The ending bell had rung and all the students packed up their books and put them in their packs, "now everyone don't forget your homework," Iruka said before they left make them all moan. When most of the students left leaving Hinata and Sakura in the room looking over a few notes and packing up they heard multiple load pops in the hallway. When Iruka opened the door he saw most of the student body and some teachers covered in a dry powder like paint and then the hall sprinklers turned on making the powder bleed in their clothes.
"You shouldn't have showed him how to make those bombs," Sakura said from behind the chunin.
Iruka then shook his head, "how am I going to explain this on the report," Iruka muttered.
"Simple," Sakura said the Hyuga heiress looked at the mess the boy did, "mention my brother's name and you would've explained the whole thing." After the sprinklers stopped Sakura then walked up to Ino, "so Ino enjoying the rainbow," Sakura said with a smile.
"Naruto is to blame for this," Ino almost screamed.
"Well that's what you get for being in a rush," Sakura said as she walks down stairs, "by the way Ino, I'm sure Sasuke will love your new outfit now."
"Sasuke is ours now you pig," Sonya cheered.
End flashback
"Good times," Sonya said.
'Sure was,' Sakura said, 'but I wonder what he's doing now."
"What ever he's doing I hope it's good," Sonya said as Iruka left the classroom to find the missing blond.
At the Haruno house Kosumo come downstairs to start his brunch. When he got there he saw his wife sitting at the table reading the last page, "well any good news," Kosumo asked.
"Well I don't have to work this morning but, there is something that will make your day," Yuri said.
"Oh yeah, what's that," Kosumo asked as he poured some coffee.
"Naruto woke up early," Yuri said.
"Oh crap," Kosumo said as he sat down, "I hope it nothing too big."
"I sure that is something simple this time," Yuri said as she stood up and walked over to her husband and hug his shoulders and kissed him, "but makes a big statement."
"It took him two days to clean up that mess," Kosumo said as he reached for the paper.
"Yeah," Yuri mused as she went to the stairs, "but it was funny."
They let out small laugh, "sure was," Kosumo said as he opened the paper.
Five minutes later, "honey," Yuri called as she made her way down stairs with a two pairs of binoculars.
"Yes dear," Kosumo asked.
"I found out what he did," Yuri said, "come outside."
"Ok," Kosumo said as he fallowed his wife outside. When they got outside Yuri hand Kosumo a pair of the binoculars and pointed to the hokages' faces. Kosumo looked thru them and saw and orange clad boy painting the faces of the hokages, "you where right that's some statement." Kosumo said, as the married couple looked on, "and is looks like Kosumosu is there as well."
"Well we did warn the Hokage that he might pull something nearing his graduation," Yuri said, "and from the looks of it, it seems that you brother is enjoying the view from that small tower."
"So am I," Kosumo said as he put down his binoculars and closed his eyes.
"No fair," Yuri said as she continued to watch from her veiw.
In the Hokage's room the third was practicing his calligraphy when two chunin busted in, "lord hokage," yelled the chunin.
"What is it," the third asked.
"It's Naruto," one of the chunin said, "He put graffiti all over the hokage monument."
Sarutobi let out a sigh as he put on his hat, 'looks like Naruto got up early again,' the third thought as he went to the top of the academy to see for himself. When he got there he saw some of the other ninja yelling and complaining about this stunt, 'he even painted on my face,' Sarutobi thought as he made his way to the end of the roof to see Kosumosu standing there looking up at the mess. "Hello Kosumosu," the third greeted as he stood by the white haired man, "I see you two still haven't controlled him."
"Well you see we try to stop him before he starts," Kousmosu said as he sighed, "but now he only does this when he gets up early."
"I see," Sarutobi said a he took a puff from his pipe.
"Then you two should get up earlier," Iruka said as he walked up behind Kosumosu.
"How do you think I'm still awake," Kosumosu said, "we tried getting up earlier but, he usually gets up early then that. From what he told me about the paper paint bombs it took him two hours to make them and another hour to set them before the academy began."
"So he set them before the academy started its day," Sarutobi asked.
"From what he told me," Kosumosu said as he looked up and saw Naruto working on the first's face, "so who's going to call him down before he goes further with this?"
"I'll do it since he's on my shift now," Iruka said.
"Good to hear that," Kosumosu said as he started to walked away, "so we'll I be seeing you for ramen?"
"I'm there if you're paying," Iruka said.
"Naruto is," Kosumosu said, "but we aren't telling him."
"Got ya," Iruka said as he turned back to the monument. "Naruto what the hell are you doing," Iruka yelled at the artist.
"Yikes it's Iruka-sensei," Naruto said in surprise as he lost his footing and was now hanging by his feet.
'Why is he surprised,' Kosumosu thought as he walked off the roof, 'it's not like he could hide it.'
After some time Naruto was now bound up in rope sitting on the floor in front of the class, "this is almost as bad as the paint bomb prank you pulled," Iruka said to the boy on the floor.
"You mean it wasn't better then that," Naruto said, "I knew I should of use those."
"Are you even paying attention," Iruka asked in a firm voice.
"Yeah, yeah," Naruto said still think how he could have done better.
This action pissed Iruka off, "Ok I want every one here to get in a line we're going to review the henge no jutsu," Iruka yelled making most of the children moan.
As soon as they lined up Sakura was in front of Naruto, "what did you that irked Iruka-sensei so much," Sakura asked.
"After class step outside and you'll see," Naruto said.
"I better not be paint bombed," Sakura said as it was nearing her turn, "cause if I am," she turn to give him a look that scared the orange boy, "you ain't going to run fast enough."
"Don't worry just take a look as you step outside you can't miss it," Naruto said making Sakura miss Sasuke perform the henge.
"It better be good," Sakura said as she made her way to the front. Sakura made her way to the front and made a hand sign, in a second she transformed in to Iruka and a second later she changed back cheering.
'Gees and she calls me hyper active,' Naruto thought.
"Uzumaki Naruto," Iruka called.
"You know that this is your fault that we're doing this," Ino said form behind Naruto as he stepped forward.
"Yeah, yeah," Naruto said as made the signs after he made a smile.
'Oh no not this henge,' Sakura thought.
"I know," Sonya said, "he always looks hotter thenus when he does that."
In a poof of smoke instead of an Iruka copy was a nude teenage blonde with two pigtails posing in front of Iruka. At first Iruka was stunned but after that was a rush of blood the head as it exited though his nose. After a few seconds Naruto returned to normal, laughing it up, "that's my sexy no jutsu," Naurto said as continued laughing.
At that moment Iruka got back up from his blood loss, "stop coming up with the stupid jutsus," Iruka practically yelled at Naruto.
"They maybe stupid," Naurto said, "But they work."
'Only on men,' Sakura thought as she watched Iruka and Naurto argue.
It was now the end of academy day, "Sakura," Naruto said gaining the pink haired girls attention as they exited the academy, "tell your mom and dad that I'll be late."
"I think they know," Sakura said as look at the painted monument, "it's hard not to miss."
"I know," Naruto said as stopped before the entrance to the academy grounds, "well I've got to see Iruka-sensei over there, so see you later tonight." Naruto and Sakura waved each other off at they went in opposite directions. When Naruto got to the top of the monument he saw Kosumosu and Iruka sitting on a bench talking, "Kosumosu what are you doing here," Naruto asked as he approached.
"Well I'm here to watch your punishment with Iruka here," Kosumosu said as Iruka handed Naruto a rag and a bucket of water.
"I want every drop of paint off this monument by the end of the day," Iurka said as he directed Naruto to a scaffold and dropped Naruto to the painted faces, "or you'll be here all night."
"Alright," Naurto said as he went to work and Iruka went back to Kosumosu.
"You know that they still give him those looks," Kosumosu said as Iruka sat down looking over the village.
"I know," Iruka said as he looked down.
"I sure the third told you that Naruto was met to be a hero to this village," Kosumosu said as he drank some soda.
"He did," Iruka said as he made a sigh, "he said that when the forth seal the demon in Naruto, he hope that he would be a hero to this place."
"But it didn't go as well as planed," Kosumosu said, "instead they shunned him because they see him as the demon from twelve years ago and some of them wanted blood."
"I heard about that," Iruka said as remembered the report.
"Yes," Kosumosu said as he threw the can in the trash, "to think that the people here would have enough gull to kill a five year old boy."
"It's a good thing that your bother took in Naruto," Iruka said.
"It seems to me that you have taken a liking to the boy as well," Kosumosu said.
"Yeah," Iruka said a he stood up, "I've never had student with his enthusiasm and will."
"He reminds me of someone," Kosumosu said as he lay down and looked at the sky.
"Who," Iruka asked with interest.
"His parents," Kousmosu said, "mostly his father."
"So you do know who they are," Iurka said.
"They said to me, my brother and Yuri that if Naruto is in trouble that we would take care of him," Kosumosu said, "so when the third try on his life happened on his life, Kousmo took it upon himself to act."
"I see," Iruka said as he went over to cliff edge to see Naruto finishing the first's face. "Hey Naruto," Iruka yelled down making the boy look up, "how about we go out for ramen after you finish," Naurto then let out a loud woo-hoo as he started to pick up the pace.
'You're being generous,' Kosumosu thought as he glanced over at Iruka then back at the sky.
"And Kousmosu is paying," Iruka finished.
"WHAT," Kosusumo yelled in surprise as he fell off the bench, "how come I'm paying?"
"Because you should have watched the boy," Iruka said.
"Alright fine," Kosumosu said as he got up, 'it's coming out of Naurto's pay any way.'
Two hours later Naruto finished and the trio where sitting at Ichiraku eating a bowl of ramen, "Naruto," Iruka said, making the boy stop eating, "why did you do that to the Hokage faces. Don't you know who they are?"
"Of course I know who they are," Naruto said as he slurped up some noodles, "they say that those people who receive the hokage title are the strongest in the village. Many people say that the forth is the strongest of them all."
"Then why," Iruka asked.
"Because one day I'll become hokage and then I'll surpass all the hokages," Naruto declared, "and then I'll make my family past and present proud of me and that the people of the village and me becoming a genin is the first step."
"That still doesn't answer the question Naruto," Kosumosu said as he finished his spicy ramen, "why did you do that to the hokage faces?"
"Well I did it to prove a point," Naruto said.
"And what point was that," Kosumosu asked.
"That I'm better then them," Naruto said as he begun drink the soup from the bowl. "But enough about that," Naruto said as he turn to Iruka, "Iruka-sensei can you do me a favor?"
"What is it," Iruka asked, "You want seconds?"
"No," Naruto said, "I was wondering if I you lend me your hitai-ate?"
"You mean this," Iruka said as he pushed the headband up and down, "no can do Naruto. You'll have to earn yours when the genin exams begin."
"Aww," Naruto said in a moan.
"So that why you took off you goggles," Kousmosu said.
"I want seconds," Naruto said.
"Fine by me," Kosumosu said while Iruka started laughing.
One week later the entire current year students gathered in the classroom a waiting the genin tests. 'Not bunshin, not bunshin, come on no bunshin,' Naruto chanted in his mind.
"Alright everyone for the genin exam you are to create three bunshin and hold them for ten seconds," Iruka announced to the class and he heard Naruto moan and groan in the back, "me and Mizuki well evaluating you bunshin also on quality."
'Damn it you think you could of added anymore stuff,' Naruto thought as he banged his head on his desk.
Sakura turn to look at her adopted brother banging his head on his desk, 'you would think that he would of practice that jutsu instead of pulling pranks,' Sakura thought.
"Yes he should of practice," Sonya said, then made a small giggle, "but they sure where funny."
Sakura then made a small giggle herself; 'true, true,' Sakura thought agreeing with her inner self.
"Alright then I'll call out your names at random so," Iruka said a he look at the clipboard of names, "Hyuga Hinata."
"Yes," said an indigo haired girl in the back row two seats from Naruto, in a small voice barely heard.
"Your up," Iruka said as he pointed an adjacent room. The white eyed girl got up and came down the row of desks and enters the next room. After some time Naruto saw every student come out with a hiati-ate on their head, as belts or armbands; even Sakura came out wearing it as a ribbon. "All right Uzumaki Naruto you're on," Iruka said as Naruto was the last one. In the room was a table with some leaf hatai-ates on it and Iruka and Mizuki were sittin behind it, "Alright Naruto when ever you're ready," Iruka said as he held up clipboard.
Naruto took a deep breath, "Alright here I go," Naruto declared as he formed a handsign. After the handsign a flood of chakra exited from him and in a poof of ninja smoke three bunshin were made but, they were any thing from prefect. Number one was half the size of Naruto, number two look over weight and let out some gas, and number three was on the floor looking dead and pale. After a few seconds they disappeard and Naruto turned to look at the teachers awaiting the bad news he didn't want to hear.
"Naruto, You Fail," Iruka stated making Naruto fall back on his head.
"Iruka-sensei," the white haired chunin said, "maybe we can let him pass he was able to make three bunshin."
Naruto's face brightens only to get shot down, "no way," Iruka said as he waved his hand, "even though he made three bunshin; they unusable and worthless and they only held for five seconds. We can not put unpassable ninja in field."
Naruto then left the room in a depressed mood and went to the classroom and face humiliation. As he walked in the classroom all of the student body saw that he wasn't wearing a hatai-ate on him therefore he must have failed. By the time he made it to his seat he could hear the whispers of insults about how he failed but, that stopped when the two teachers enter the room, "now all of you who passed congratulations to any who didn't best luck next time," Iruka said, "oh before I forget, the hardest part of being a ninja has begun so all of you be ready for the hardest part." After the speech the students where dismissed and assembled in the front courtyard.
Naruto made his way to a swing hanging from a tall tree and sat down on it observing the students who passed being congratulated. 'I knew I should have practiced more but, what's happened, happened. So now the main thing is; how will I face Kosumo, Kosumosu and Yuri? They said that they'll be little late to congratulate me and as for sis she passed. Maybe I should be proud of her but it looks like I'll never join her.' Naurto thought as he stepped off the swing and left though a back alley. When got to the middle of the ally he saw Mizuki standing there with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey Naurto want to go talk somewhere," Mizuki asked as Naruto nodded, "good fallow me."
"Hey Sakura," yelled Kosumo getting his daughter's attention as he walked to her noticing the hatai-ate on top of her head, "I see that you passed the exam."
"Yep that right," Sakura said in a happy tone, "you're looking at the first ninja in the Haruno family; and a female no less."
'There is no shortage of feminine pride in this family,' Kosumo thought as he knelled to hug his daughter, "I'm proud of you." He then stood up and look at Sakura some more and then he look around the courtyard, "by the way where is you brother Naruto," Kosumo said as looked around more in a turret fashion.
Sakura's happy face then saddened, "he didn't pass," she said in a voice matching here face.
"What," Kosumo said in mild shock, "how come."
"You see, in order to pass one had to make three bunshin and hold them for ten seconds," Sakura said still looking down.
"I heard that he was having trouble with that," Kosumo said, "how unfortunate. Now he won't be a ninja."
"Please daddy, give him anther chance," Sakura said begging to her father, "I'm sure that he can make it then."
"Didn't you say that it would take five years to be a shanobi," Kosumo asked, "and is it five years form when you two started?"
"Yes, but," Sakura said, "I've could have been wrong."
"Why would you say that," Kosumo asked as they walked to entrance gate.
"Because…" Sakura said but stopped because she didn't know an answer.
"Let me guess you can answer," Kosumo said and Sakura nodded, "that's a good answer." Sakura then had a confuse look on her making her father laugh a little, "I think about it," Kousmo said making Sakura sigh in relief, "but, let's celebrate with some dango with your mother."
"Yeah," Sakura cheered as she skips ahead to the corner restaurant that serves those tasty dumplings on a stick.
Later that night Kosumo was sitting on the end of the couch Yuri leaning on him watching a TV comedy special. Kosumo looked at the clock reading ten-thirty pm, "Naruto hasn't come back yet," Kosumo said.
"Do you think you should send Kosumosu to find him," Yuri asked.
"I'll give him another thirty minutes then I'll go look for him," Kosumosu said as he walked in from the kitchen with a can of soda, "I heard that he was petty bummed that he didn't pass."
"With his high chakra I'm surprised that he can do a low level jutsu with out overloading it," Yuri said as she push her self up and look at Kosumosu, "you could have at least got me one."
"I'm not mind reader you know," Kosumosu said as he sat down on the couch.
Knock, Knock
"Hey bro you want to get that," Kosumo said.
"I just sat down," Kosumosu complained.
"I'll get it," Yuri said as she got up, "I swear you two are lazy." When she opened the door she saw Iruka standing there somewhat out of breath, "Iruka, what are you doing here," Yuri asked.
"I'm sorry Haruno-san no time to explain," Iruka said sounding important, "I was wondering if Naruto came home?"
"No he hasn't," Yuri replied, "no even for lunch. We figured that he needed some space since that he failed the exam."
Iruka then let out a sigh, "I see," Iruka said as turn around, "I go check the forest."
"Hold on Iruka," Kosumo said from behind his wife, making the chunin hold, "why do you need to see Naruto?"
"He stole something important from the hokage's residents and now ninja are looking for him," Iruka said.
"They're not going to hurt the boy are they," Yuri asked.
"I don't know," Iruka said, "but I won't let that happen."
Iruka then jumped up and out of view form the two Harunos, "so everything is going well but, to be sure," Kosumo said in a soft voice as he turn to Kosumosu, "Kosumosu."
"I'm on it," Kosumosu said as he got up and walked outside.
"You know the rule," Kosumo said.
"Don't worry," Kosumosu said, "I'm sure Iruka will find him first; so I'll fallow him."
"That's a good idea," Kosumo said, "I'll go to the Hokage to talk about this."
"What about Sakura," Yuri said.
"You'll stay here and watch her," Kosumo said looking over to the stairs, "It seems that the commotion outside woke her."
"Ok then," Yuri said, "I just worry about the boy."
"This is just like it should, so don't worry," Kosumo said as he left for the hokage's home, "she coming down."
"Alright then," Yuri said waving her husband off as he left.
"Mother what's going on," Sakura said as she walked down the stairs to see Yuri walking from the front door.
"Your father went to see the hokage and Kosumosu went to find Naurto," Yuri said.
"You mean he hasn't come home yet," Sakura asked as Yuri shook her head, "do you think Naruto will be alright?"
"Don't worry to much," Yuri said as she sat back down on the couch watching the TV special, "Iruka is also looking for him so every thing will turn out fine."
'Naruto hasn't even talked to me today,' Sakura thought, 'he must have been real disappointed that he didn't pass.'
"Well it was his fault," Sonya said, "He should've practice with us Shannaro."
'I know,' Sakura said, 'but he's trying to do things on his own.'
"Honey you ok," Yuri said breaking her daughter's connection.
"Yeah, I'm fine just a little tired," Sakura said as she went for the stairs, "I'm going to try to sleep again."
"Ok, then goodnight," Yuri said as she looked back to see Sakura walk up the stairs, 'you two."
In the forest
When Kosumosu arrived at the forest he hid behind a tree went he got to a small clearing, poking his head around the tree he saw a white hair man and Iruka sitting at the base of a tree bleeding from his leg and his arm.
'I found Iruka but where is Naurto,' Kosumosu thought, 'I went to the shed where hides himself sometimes…'
"So you inset on interfering," Mizuki said stopping Kosumosu's thoughts, as he spun the medium large shuriken in his hand, "I said that I was going to kill later but now hurry up and die." When Mizuki brought his hand forward an orange blur zoomed in kneeing the chunin back a few feet on the ground and the shuriken flew into a near tree, "Your going to die for that," Mizuki said with venom as he flipped over to get back on his feet.
"Touch Iruka-sensei and I'll kill you," Naruto declared.
"Naruto," Iruka yelled, "I thought I told you to get out of here."
"A punk like you kill me, ha" Mizuki said, "I'll kill you in one shot."
"Go a head and try," Naurto said as he made a cross seal.
'I see,' Kosumosu thought, 'he's going to try that jutsu.'
"And I'll return the pain a thousand fold," Naruto finished.
"Then do it you demon fox," Mizuki said as he was about to charge but then stopped as he heard Naruto's new jutsu.
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU," Naruto yelled and in blur, the whole clearing was filled with Narutos.
'Damn,' Kosumosu thought as he saw the whole thing.
'Amazing,' Iruka thought, 'even though he didn't do the bunshin right, he the Kage bunshin where they're real bodies and not illusions.'
"Well aren't you going to kill me," a bunshin mocked, "well if your not then I will."
After a few minutes of scream from pain Mizuki went unconscious Naruto was standing in front of Iruka smiling, "I think I over did it," Naruto said cheerfully.
Iruka smiling along with him, "Naurto come over here," Iruka said, "and you too Kosumosu."
Naruto turned to see Kosumosu come out from behind the tree scratching the back of his head, "it looks like I can't hide from you ninjas," Kosumosu said.
"Kosumosu what are you doing here," Naruto asked.
"I was looking for you," Kosumosu said, "and Kosumo went to the Hokage to see if he found you."
"You came looking for me," Naruto said.
"Of course, stupid," Kosumosu said, "we all care about you."
"I'm sorry for causing for worry," Naruto said as he looked down.
"Don't worry about it," Kosumosu said as he put his hands on Naruto's shoulders, "let's get you home."
"Hold on," Iruka said as he failed to get up.
"Here let me help you," Kosumosu said as went to hoist the chunin on his right shoulder but Iruka stopped him.
"Hold on Kosumosu," Iruka said, "Naruto come over here."
The blonde came over, "Yes Iruka-sensei," Naruto said.
"Close your eyes," Iruka said and Naruto complied.
At the hokage mansion Kosumo and some jounin were standing outside waiting to report to the Hokage that they haven't found him.
"Where is he," one of the jounin said.
"I don't know," said another.
"Don't worry, he'll be coming back," the hokage said as he came though his front gates.
"Did my brother find him," Kosumo asked.
"Yes," the hokage said, "but Iruka found him first."
"That's good," Kosumo said breathing a sigh, "I head home and tell Yuri."
"Before you go," the hokage said making the bright redhead stop, "also tell her that…."
"Can I open them now Iruka-sensei," Naruto asked impatiently.
"Yes you can," Iruka said; when Naruto opened his eyes he saw Iruka holding his goggles that he usually wore. Naruto reached up and touched a metal plate on his forehead, "congratulations," Iruka and Kosumosu said proudly, "you've passed," Iruka finished.
Naruto was shocked for words not only did he pass he received his sensei's head plate making it an honor, "so who's up for ramen," Kosumosu asked.
"I am," Naruto shouted.
"Ok then," Kosumosu said, then he turned to Iruka, "need help getting up?"
"Could you," Iurka said as Kosumosu knelled and put Iruka arm over his shoulder and lifted him up and helping him up and walking to the village.
Naruto turn and looked at the bruised Mizuki as he put the scroll back on his back, "what do we do with him," Naurto asked pointing to the chunin on the ground.
"Leave him to me," said a clam voice. The three turned to see a person in a cloak and an animal mask, "I'll take him in and hand him over to Ibuki," the masked man said as he approached the down chunin.
"I guess his ninja career is over," Kosumosu said as they exited the clearing.
When the three cleared the area the masked man kicked the chunin awake. When Mizuki woke he saw the cloaked man looking over him and unrolling an array of small knifes, "so they sent ANBU after me huh," Mizuki said in a cough.
"Not quite," the man said as he looked over his knifes try to find the right one.
"What do you mean," Mizuki asked.
"Well you see," the man said as he chose his favorite, "my sensei has promised me bodies for me to practice my sealing and jutsu on and low and behold here you are."
"Your not form Konoha are you," Mizuki asked as he was flip on his front.
"Not really," the man said, "you could say I'm a researcher."
"Why me," Mizuki asked.
"My your full of questions," the man said as he ripped off Mizuki's shirt exposing his back, "but to answer, just because."
"Just because," Mizuki said shocked, "who the hell are you?"
"No one suspicious," the man said in a friendly voice as he placed the knife on the chunin's bare back, "now hold still, because this is going to hurt like fuck."
"Naruto we'll go out for ramen tomorrow because it a little late," Kosumosu said.
"Ahhh," Naruto moaned.
"Have some after you register yourself tomorrow Naruto ok," Iruka said.
"Ok," Naruto said as a group of ninja appeared in front of them.
"It's alright Haruno-san we'll take care of him from here," said one of them as he took Iruka off Kousmosu's shoulder and on to his, "and Naruto hand over the scroll." Naruto did and went back to Kosumosu's side.
"Wow you guys are fast," Kosumosu said.
"Not as fast as the ninja we met," Naurto said.
"What ninja," the leader said.
"Didn't you guys send an ANBU to us," Iruka asked.
"No we didn't," the leader said, as he was about to signal is peers to check it out they all heard a load ear splitting scream from deep in the forest. At that the leader sent five jounin to check it out.
"Was that Mizuki," Naruto asked.
"Most likely," Iruka said, then clench in pain.
"I'll take you to the hospital," the leader said then looked at the other two, "will you two be alright?"
"We'll be fine," Kosumosu said as he and Naruto walked back into the village, "just make sure that he gets treatment."
The leader looked as they left, "well let get you patched up," the leader said. As he was about to dash Iruka over a jounin stopped him.
"Captain you should see this," said the jounin.
"Later I've got to get him to the hospital," the captain said.
"I'll take him," the jounin said, "You should see what happen to the traitor's body."
"This better be good," the captain said as he handed Iruka over, "make sure he gets there and is well treated." The captain then looked at Iruka, "Lord hokage would like a report from you after your better."
"I figured as much," Iruka said as he and the jounin disappeared.
"Now to see what so important," the captain said as he rushed to meet the others. When he got there he saw his fellow jounin in a circle around the body, "ok where's the fire," he said gaining the attention of the jounin.
"Look at this, sir," one of the jounin said pointing to the body. When the captain got there he saw Mizuki lying on his front showing his bare back, "I know those scars on his back are in a seal pattern but, I've never seen those seals before; have you sir," the jounin questioned.
"No I haven't," the captain said, "and because of that I don't know what they do."
"Well he seems to be alive," said another jounin knelling by the body, "but I don't feel any thing from him."
"Myano you're from the Hyuga clan," the captain said as he turned to a female with blank eyes, "what do you see?"
"Nothing," Myano said in some shock, "absolutely nothing. It's like all his point have been pressed."
"Is it because of the seals tattooed on his back," the captain asked.
"I don't know," Myano said, "but it seems so."
"Alright then let's get him back to the village and hand him over to the Ibuki and the scroll to the Hokage," the captain said.
"Rodger," the jounin said as on of them pick up the chunin and disappeared back to the village.
"There you two are," Kosumo said as he saw Kosumosu and Naurto walking halfway to their house, "what happened?" Naruto and Kosumosu told Kosumo of the whole event, "wow that's a lot," Kosumo said then noticed Naruto's forehead, "so how does it feel to be a ninja?"
"Great," Naruto said proudly.
"That's good," Kosumo said, "keep up that spirit."
"Or how would a green man would say, 'show off that burning youth,'" Kosumosu said in a deep mocking voice making Kosumo snicker.
"What green man," Naurto asked as their home came in view.
"Hopefully someone you'll never meet until you're mature," Kousmo said as they walked up the front porch and open the door.
Meanwhile Sakura woke up from the commotion downstairs, 'it seems that Naruto is back,' Sakura thought as she threw off her covers and went down the hallway to the staircase but stopped.
"Hey let's surprise him as he comes upstairs, Shannaro" Sonya suggested.
'Yeah,' Sakura said, 'that's what he gets for spilling ramen on my clothes.'
"Wow, it sounds that you've been though a lot," Yuri said after hearing the story, "aren't you tired?"
"A little," Naurto said, "but I do need to sleep because tomorrow I'll be a registered ninja."
'Naruto is a ninja,' Sakura questioned in her mind missing the story, 'what did he do that made Iruka change his mind?'
"What ever it is it must have been good," Sonya said.
'We'll find out tomorrow,' Sakura said as she turns around, 'I'll get him back after I get the information from him.'
"Hold on Naruto," Kosumo said making Naruto and Sakura stop to listen, "Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"
"About what," Naruto asked, knowing the answer.
"You know what," Kosumosu said.
"We know that you know," Yuri said.
'What are they talking about,' Sakura thought.
"Let's find out," Sonya said.
"Surely you must have a question about it," Kosumo said.
"Yes I do," Naurto said, "why me?"
"To save Konoha," Yuri said.
"And you," Kosumosu finished.
"Save me," Naruto said dumbfounded, "what do you mean?"
"Well your parents didn't want you to die," Kosumosu said, "so that's what we mean."
"So you saying that if the Kyubi wasn't seal inside me, I could of died," Naurto asked.
"You got it," Kosumo said as they walked over to the couch.
"You see not only would've you mother die at labor but, there was a fifty percent shot that you would've died," Yuri said.
"But like we've said she wanted to have you even if it was only for ten seconds," Kosumosu said.
"But it seems that even as a baby that you wouldn't have long to live; so sealing the Kyubi inside you saved your life," Yuri said.
"Your father also thought that if you live this way that you would have become a hero to this village but, as you may know that didn't turn out well," Kosumo said.
"Why didn't you try to help me," Naurto asked.
"Two reasons," Kosumosu said, "one, we had trouble finding you until you pulled your first major prank, and two we had to have permission from the third person we promised."
"You still haven't told me who that was," Naurto said.
"Can't tell you," Kosumosu said, "but she is very important person."
"More important then the Hokage," Naruto asked.
"Yes she is," Yuri said, "but now that you know that the Kyubi is inside you, how do you feel?"
"No different," Naurto said, "because when I become Hokage I'll show everyone that I'm Naruto Uzumaki and not the Kyubi."
The three grown ups looked at the boy with a smile, "your father would be proud of you," Kosumo said.
"As well as your mother," Yuri said.
"Now give us a hug goodnight," Kosumosu said as they group together.
Sakura and Sonya where in a state of shock, 'so the nine-tailed fox is inside Naruto, so that's why the villagers give him those cold stares,' Sakura thought as she walked back to her room, 'and is living here with us.'
"Do you think the Kyubi is the reason he has so much stamina," Sonya questioned.
'Maybe,' Sakura said as she entered her room, 'let's talk more about this face to face in the field.'
"Yes," Sonya said as Sakura closed her door and Naruto walked upstairs to prepare for tomorrow and the day after.
The three adults looked at the stairs, "do you think it was a good idea to let our daughter onto this," Yuri asked the two.
"I believe it would bring them closer together," Kosumosu said.
"Yes and now they have a better understanding of each other," Kosumo said.
"I guess your right," Yuri said as she turns to her husband, "by the way; didn't you say that if they both graduate that you would stop wearing those."
Kosumo then took off his glasses, "I guess so," he said as he threw them in the trash, "I guess your stuck wearing yours bro."
"Only until they appear," Kosumosu said, "besides people will talk and we don't want those people making us famous."
"Well after I give sis our reports we'll let things take over from here," Kosumo said.
"Ayame made the right decision to have him," Yuri said.
"Told you," Kosumosu and Kosumo said at the same time.
"And I've told you two to stop doing that," Yuri said as she walked upstairs.
