HELLO MY FANS! WELCOME TO THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF NAURTO: THE TIDES REBORN!

In maybe the next chapter or a few chapters from now there will be OOCness from Sasuke. It is a necessity. He will tear his Fangirl Yakuza a new one, due to the fact that they bother him every single day. No one, not even the great Sasuke would not snap at being bothered every single day, twenty four hours a day by a hoard of annoying people. Years and years go by and it just gets worst. I will ask you, as sane people, wouldn't you just snap at them when your patience for them runs out?

Sasuke probably joined Orochimaru for more power, and his fangirls bothering him all the time. No one's patience is infinite. He will completely verbally rip him a new one. It's partly my feelings on the matter of them not taking being kunoichi seriously, and when their teammates aren't looking get kidnapped, and torture and/or raped repeatedly. This way, they would take their training seriously, and not suffer. That is realistically what would happen to them, if they don't take their training seriously.

Also, yes Rin is alive but no she is not the replacement for either Obito or Nagato. She will be either Naruto's older sister or aunt figure. Kiri kidnapped someone else and was killed before reaching Konoha, like Rin was in canon. Rin is also married to Kakashi, they haven't tried for kids yet.

Guest Q&A: Everyone can read since I give some stuff away in my answers. I encourage people to review, with questions, especially guests since I will always do my best to reply to all reviews.

Guest #1: Thank you

Wolfbane: Thank you, and don't worry the CRR applies to every ninja, including missing-ninjas. Also, there will be a whole lot of drama due to the CRR on Naruto. Also, all the Kage know about the CRR, and will support it unless they must give up a close family member. In Fuu's case, Taki would simply say 'goodbye', and send her off to Konoha. Onoki would more than likely cause a huge fuss, like Hiashi. Tenten is an orphan in this, so no one will cause a fuss over her. Parents blown up in a car…. high-caliber explosive tag trap on a C-rank turned A-rank mission where the entire team died when she was 3 years old.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO, NEVER DID NEVER WILL!

Warnings: Nothing aside from a man-handed fox

I know I said a look in the academy years of Naruto, but too much content for the beginning of the academy. This entire chapter will be Naruto's entry test with some of it being a meeting between Kakashi, Rin, and Sarutobi. Than the rest should be Naruto meeting Kakashi and Rin, and maybe his first day. And the next five or so chapters will summarize his years in the academy and his training with two jounin. One chapter per year, or two and a half. Or maybe a massive timeskip with flashbacks…. Dunno….. *Shrugs* Also yes, raising the age of graduation to 15. Flames will be giving to Matatabi to munch on.

I apologize for being late. I just could not think of the Naruto meeting Kakashi and Rin part.

SO LET'S DO THIS! PLEASE R&R!

-BREAK-

It has been nine years since the attack of Kurama, and the Masked Man. It is time for the next generation to join the Shinobi Academies spread throughout Konoha, and the other Hidden VIllages.. They would learn what it means to be a Shinobi, and how to be one. Also, math, science, penmanship and reading, if they do not know how, and other subjects that anyone must know in order to be a productive member of society.

It is the best academy within Konoha, where Naruto is heading for the entrance exams. He trained alone for this, taught himself how to read, and other things. It was only a couple months before his tenth birthday, and the day he would meet his prisoner.

He had no idea that he had the beast within him due to his seal, and no one telling him. He spent most of his childhood without anyone, but genin doing D-ranks to take care of him, and just a few friends.

Naruto had a good childhood, without anyone really bothering him because of his prisoner. There were a few incidents where drunkards would throw stones at him, but those were few and rare incidents. The drunkards, would disappear and never be heard from again. Their houses or apartments would either be put up for sale the next day. If they had a family and/or friends, they would be paid into silence.

Naruto, had the skills to enter this academy, the best in Konoha and some say the best in the nations. He trained and trained physically, and accessed his chakra a year and a half before.

Pamphlets are sent to nearly every single child within Konoha on their seventh birthdays, on how to access their chakra, and how to train for the academy. Those that do not want to become Shinobi would simply ignore the pamphlets. The only children that do not receive the pamphlets are children of shinobi, and clan children. The pamphlets have seals on them, so they cannot reveal knowledge that the child is not ready for.

They had exercises on chakra control, strength training, agility training, weapon training, and basic fuinjutsu. The basic fuinjutsu would only allow them to take things out of storage seals. The pamphlets would have training equipment sealed within them. Blunt shurikens and kunai, weighted clothing for strength training, and guides to simple taijutsu.

The children are expected to have mastered at least half of the material within the pamphlets. The more that has been mastered the better the academy the child could go to. Clan heirs and children would have mastered the material due to their clans, and shinobi children would be trained by their parents. It is rare, exceedingly so for civilian children to train at the best academy.

Naruto was making his way into the academy building. He saw directions towards the testing center, and headed there. He was one of the first people there. The only people that were there before him were Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuuga. They were there, early due to Sasuke simply wanting to get started on the next level already, and Hinata being the heiress to the strongest clan in Konoha, had to be there earlier than the others.

Naruto signed in, and waited to be called into the testing center. More and more people would come, the other heirs, the clan children, the shinobi children, and the civilian children. Everyone had to test at the best academy building. There were enough rooms within the center to get everyone sorted in a single day, depending on how many children were testing.

The older academy students were helping the chuunin incharge of the testing, by sparing with their younger peers. It was a better way to judge their strength than having the children fight fully trained chuunin.

The testing went in order of who signed in. Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata would be among the first twenty to be tested. They, the other clan heirs and some clan children would be called all at once to enter the twenty rooms available.

When Naruto entered his room, he saw Iruka, Kotetsu, and Neji Hyuuga within the room. Neji had a scowl on his face, like he wouldn't be there if he had a choice. He was there to get some credit in taijutsu. even though he did not need it, it was just nice to have.

Iruka, told Naruto to sit down and they would begin with the chakra test. The test to make sure he had access to his chakra. Naruto sat down in a meditative position and did the ram hand sign. He would then concentrate and produce a massive amount of chakra, with little effort. Iruka writes down full points, and recommends that he wouldn't be able to master the techniques that required a extremely small amount of chakra, and that he get a mentor to help him with chakra control, and techniques that are not taught at any of the academies.

Iruka tells him enough, and that they would test his accuracy with kunai and shuriken. Naruto picks up the kunai and throw them one after the other at the targets. He gets most of them into various 'kill' zones on the dummies. Iruka nods and gives him the correct percentage. Naruto throws the shuriken and gets less than the kunai but still over 50%. Iruka once more jots down the correct percentage. Kotetsu, is simply there to keep an eye on the students in the room to make sure they're not doing anything they're not suppose to do.

After the accuracy test, Iruka nods and starts the spar test. Neji walks forward with confidence that Naruto would not be able to defeat him due to his training with his clan and at the academy. He was right, Naruto would not be able to defeat him with the simple and basic style.

But that does not mean he would give up. He would push and push, using his Uzumaki Vitality to stand up, even after the brutal beating he would soon undergo. He would keep standing up with his would never give up.

They got into the ring etched into the center of the room. Both boys stood at the opposite ends of the circle, Iruka instructed them to perform the seal of confrontation. Neji performed the half ram sign towards Naruto, who did the same to Neji.

After that they got into their own stances. Neji did the traditional gentle fist stance. One foot was forward and his body weight resting on the foot set behind the other one. He would not use his Byakugan, and would use a very small amount of chakra so he wouldn't kill his opponent due to it being a spar to test his opponent's abilities. He had his arms spread forward with his palms facing Naruto.

Naruto on the other hand, simply stood there. He did not have a opening stance, the simple and basic style did not feel right to his body. He had his arms raised in front of him. They were bent at the elbow and in fists. His forearms protecting his chest . His fists protecting his face. Iruka noticed this and wrote down, 'someone with a lot of taijutsu experience preferably for his mentor'. Iruka looked at the boys and asked if they were ready. At the nods, Iruka threw a pen at the wall.

When it connected with the wall, both boys ran at each other. Neji aimed a finger strike at Naruto's right shoulder. Naruto simply ran at Neji, aiming a fist at his face. Neji moved to block the fist with his right arm, focusing on the fist going towards his face. He did not see the fist aimed at his stomach. Both attacks connected at the exact same time. Neji's eyes widened when the fist connected to his stomach.

Neji's strike hit Naruto's shoulder and blocked the chakra point. Naruto's right arm was now useless during the spar. Neji would reopen the chakra point in his shoulder, after the spar. Neji could feel a bruise forming on his stomach, he winced at the pain. Neji, would jump back and would start to flash through handsigns to activate his Byakugan. Once it was activated, Naruto would not be able to do what he just did. Iruka was marking down notes of the spar. He was impressed with the knucklehead.

Neji waited for Naruto to come to him. Naruto not giving up, ran at Neji. He would not give up. Neji dodged the wild swing at his head, and placed three strikes on Naruto. He disabled Naruto's legs and other arm. The spar was over, Neji told him to surrender or he would knock him out. Naruto simply spat into Neji's face, and told him he would never surrender, to do so would be unthinkable to him. Neji sighed before striking at Naruto's head.

Neji aimed at the chakra point in the head, making absolutely certain to simply knock the blonde out. What he did not know, he was about to undo two of Minato's seals placed on Naruto. The seal keeping Kurama asleep, and the seal that sealed Minato's and Kushina's knowledge in his head. All the others would stay intact, especially the one that makes mindwalkers see nothing but a wall of pure white.

With the strike complete, Naruto would go completely unconscious. He would not awaken for a couple hours, Neji would explain what he did in detail. Even unsealing the point would do nothing.

-BREAK-

Naruto's eyes opened suddenly. He looked around and saw himself inside of sewer. He saw pipes, filled with chakra. It seemed this place was within Kurama's seal. Naruto looked around him and wondered where he was. He shrugged, and started to walk towards where the pipes were coming from.

After a couple minutes he would find, the one being that should not be trifled with. He found Kurama, the nine-tailed fox demon. The one that attacked Konoha, the one that killed his parents. Naruto looked up at the beast, who was awakening from a almost ten year slumber.

The mighty fox, saw his jailor and knew he was asleep for a long time. It grumbled, before sitting up. It looked at his container and spoke, "Release me, whelp."

Naruto shook his head and asked, "Why do you have bunny ears and man hands?" Kurama looked flabbergasted at the insolent question. Veins in it's forehead started to pop out of it's head. The beast was angry, beyond so. It slowly calmed down enough to study it's seal, ignoring the whelp. At being ignored, Naruto simply left the beast alone. He wandered his mindscape, and found a room, inside the room is a library with another seal within it.

Naruto would only be able to access the knowledge he was ready for. Right now, all he would be able to read was the scrolls on chakra control, the academy techniques, simple fuinjutsu and simple taijutsu that would be more suited to him. Everything else would require a higher level of chakra control, more chakra, fuinjutsu knowledge, being old enough to handle them, or wise enough to know where and when to use the techniques.

His eyes grew stars in them, he had never seen so much knowledge about ninja techniques. He would dig into the first section, but he did not have time. He needed to figure out how to enter his own mind, and how to leave it. He would go to Sarutobi after this and tell him about him knowing about the Kyuubi. He figured out that this is what the seal he discovered on his stomach was for. He saw the seal when he focused his chakra for the first time. Naruto studied the scrolls for what seemed like weeks, none of the higher level scrolls opened for him.

He walked to Kurama, "What's your name? I don't want to call you Man Hands, or Bunny Ears, or Fuzzball." Kurama stared at the student-hopeful before sighed, "my name is Kurama. Don't tell people or I will eat you."

Naruto nodded, before Kurama roared and sent him back into the real world.

-BREAK-

Naruto's eyes opened for real this time. He was in Konoha's general hospital. He sat up and looked around. He noticed, Sarutobi was sitting near his bed. He could tell the old man was worried about him. He would soon find that he was within his mind only for three hours.

Sarutobi was worried about Naruto, the boy never passed out for that long before. He was concerned that the fox was trying something. Naruto looks him straight in the eye, "I know about the man-handed bunny eared fox in my stomach."

Sarutobi blanched while his Anbu snickered under their breaths. Leave it to Naruto to notice not the gigantic fox in his stomach, but the most embarrassing parts of it. "I also have hundreds if not thousands of scrolls with ninja techniques in them in my stomach," he said not knowing that it should have remained a secret.

Sarutobi, blanched even more at the fact that he had access to a lot of knowledge that academy students were not suppose to have. He was thinking about placing Naruto with Kakashi or another of his trusted Jounin. He mentally smiles before knowing that both Kakashi and Rin, would love to teach Naruto.

"Naruto, what would you say about being taught by two jounin as well as going to the academy?" Naruto's eyes widened at the offer to be trained by jounin as well as going to the academy and possibly making friends.

"HELL TO THE FUCKING YEAH OLD MAN!" Shouted the hyperactive blonde. Sarutobi winced at the volume of the child's voice. He would put his pinkies in his ears to try and pop them. He got momentarily deafened from the shouting.

"This is not a sure thing, I will need to ask the two I have in mind before anything." Naruto nodded at the words, not realizing Sarutobi was doing this so Naruto doesn't accidentally find anything in the scrolls in his mind that could destroy Konoha if he does the technique wrong. He was using the jounin to train Naruto yes, but to also protect him and everyone from what was sealed in his mind.

This would accelerate his training, by quite a bit but also protect him with two jounin there to protect Naruto from the techniques and protect himself from becoming a shinobi's worst enemy, being an arrogant son of a bitch that thought they were completely untouchable. This would also allow Naruto to have a older brother/uncle and older sister/aunt figure due to Kakashi and Rin being engaged.

-BREAK-

The doctors are keeping Naruto overnight for observation, while Inoichi teaches Naruto to enter and leave his own mindscape. By morning he'd be able to enter and leave it at a whim. While that is happening, Sarutobi summons two jounin into his office. After 15 minutes the two jounin enter with their clothing hastily put on.

They bow and greet their leader who stares at them. He internally sighs, and remembers his wife and him like that when they were Kakashi and Rin's age. He clears his throat while looking at them.

"Kakashi, Rin…. I would like to ask you to train Naruto Uzumaki. This entails a few things, the most important is make sure he does not access too much knowledge too fast." He quickly explains what happened and why he is asking the both of them to train their sensei's son. Kakashi's eyes go wide and he nods, just as Rin nods. They both want desperately to train Naruto, and this way he'll be prepared and at least a high genin level before graduation.

Kakashi steps forward, "How trained do you want us to make him before he graduates, and by too much knowledge are you saying techniques over C-rank?" Sarutobi nods, "I would like you to restrict to only up to C-rank, but if his chakra control never gets good enough to do the regular clone technique, I will allow you as mentors to teach him the B-ranked version of the Shadow Clone technique. You must warn him against using too many however. A swarm of a thousand for fighting is good, but never more than twenty for any training. Twenty total, understood?"

Both Jounin nod, before walking out of the office, Rin looks at Sarutobi. "Does this mean, we can bring him into our home?" Sarutobi sighs and nods, "You can bring him into your home, but sadly I cannot allow you to adopt him because he needs to stay a Uzumaki for the CRR." They both nod, before leaving.

Sarutobi sighs and lights up a pipe. He starts to think about the future. He brings out two pieces of paper before writing down nearly the exact same message on both. He needs his students back, and soon. He was getting too old to be the Hokage. He puts that he is tired, oh so tired and that he needed to retire. He wants the both of them back, he will have Genma take over Jiraiya's spy network, and to Tsunade complete and utter control over the medical program that they have the funds for, now.

Within the next month both Sannin would be back in Konoha, and announced as the fifth hokage candidates. The fifth hokage would be decided on, whether or not they complete a specific task each. Tsunade to get over her fear of blood, and set up the medical program so this year's first year students to have a medic on every team when they graduate. Jiraiya, would have to design armor seals that could absorb at least a single A-ranked ninjutsu technique, or the equivalent of one.

Sarutobi smirks, liking his idea. He wonders what they would do, and how long it'll take. He just wants it done within five years so he can retire, finally. He was tired, and his age was catching up to him.

-BREAK-

Naruto was eating dinner, or what could be considered dinner. It was hospital food, and completely tasteless. He sighed, it was only half a day since he entered the hospital, he wondered when he was going to be released. The doctors were keeping him overnight to make sure that he doesn't faint again.

Thinking about the food, he was considering sneaking out of the hospital to head to Ichiraku's or a different restaurant. He decided against it and simply ate. He did not know that his life would change the next day.

-BREAK-

The next morning, found our favorite knuckleheaded blonde running out of the hospital, whooping in joy. He pulled out pocket money, and found he had enough for a good breakfast. He headed to a supermarket and bought some real food, he only enjoyed Ichiraku ramen. Ramen cups simply didn't do it for him like Ichiraku's.

Upon reaching his simple apartment, he found the door unlocked. He pulled out one of his practice Kunai and cautiously entered the studio apartment. The first thing he saw, was the apartment was sparkling clean. The next thing he saw was a strange woman, with brown hair and markings on her face in front of his stove, cooking something. Finally the strange silver haired man reading Icha Icha Paradise while laying on his bed.

"Who are the two of you?" Asked the boy cautiously while holding the kunai in a position that he'd throw it if they didn't answer, and they did technically broke into his house.

The man, flipped a page before looking at the boy with his regular eye. "I'm Kakashi Hatake, that is Rin Hatake, my wife. We're your jounin sensei, while you're at the academy, so put down the kunai."

Rin looked at him with a smile on her face. They both had their headbands slanted over the eyes that Obito gave them. Kakashi was dressed in his simple jounin attire. Rin had a long dress on under her jounin vest. It was slightly unzipped. She had her weapons within the vest in seals, made for her by the sealing corps.

"Naruto, if you want, you can move in with us. We got permission from Sarutobi-dono." She says with the smile on her face still. She wanted to adopt him so badly, or at least raised him, but training him and taking care of him during his academy years is the next best thing.

Naruto's eyes widened before looking between the thirty year old jounins. He was completely shocked, someone actually wanted him, someone loved him. Not one but two people. His eyes started to water. "Yes, I would love that." He started to sob, between each word. He was just completely happy!

Rin, went over to him and Kakashi took over the cooking. She wrapped her arms around the boy and pulled him to her. She hugged him tightly, while rubbing his back and whispering soothing words into his ears gently. He was barely taller than her chest, so he buried his face into her breasts while crying. The pair would stay like this until breakfast is ready. Naruto puts what he bought into the fridge.

They had rolled omelettes sliced and decorated into different kinds of figures, like Kakashi's head, Rin's head, Naruto's head, the Konoha's leaf symbol, even Sarutobi's and Pakun's heads. The rice featured, their heads with different ingredients on top, they even had bacon and sunny side up eggs put in a smiley face. They had milk(not expired), juice, and coffee for the adults.

Kakashi, looked at Naruto and said, "You're only going to go to the academy twice a week like other children of clans and shinobi, since we can train you much better. Also, call us Nii-san, Onee-chan, or anything you want outside of training. In training, call us Kakashi-sensei, and Rin-sensei." Naruto nods while eating the first home cooked meal, he has ever had, that he didn't make himself.

When they were done with their breakfast, the couple introduced Naruto his first present not from Hinata(a secret... shh!), Sarutobi, or his godfather(another secret… shh!). Inside the package were a set of green and brown clothing, the pants were a dark brown, the shirt was dark green, with dark brown stripes going down the sleeves. His clan's symbol were on his shoulders, one in a light green, and the other a light brown. The clothes were completely plain otherwise.

Naruto, thanked them loudly and with bone crushing hugs to both of their ribs before running into the curtain that separated his bathroom from the rest of his small studio apartment. He changed clothing before coming out. The clothes were incredibly baggy, but that only means he can grow into them. It would take around three years for him to grow into the clothing, assuming he would not hit a massive growth spurt eating Rin's home cooking.

But he would hit several over the next three years, his body was lacking the nutrients to grow due to his mostly ramen diet, that would soon be rectified if Rin had anything to say about it!

"It is a month before the academies' first days, in the mean time, we'll train you. You're in Academy One, class 1-S. You're in the best class in the best academy. Congratulations, Naruto," says Rin, while hugging the lad. Kakashi is grinning like a madman. He can't wait to start training him into the ground.

For the next five years, Naruto would be trained into the ground by the two jounin. His chakra control would never be good enough for the regular clone technique or any form of genjutsu, due to his bloodline, the Uzumaki Vitality, and the Yang portion of Kurama sealed within him. Kakashi explained about his clan, his mother, and their bloodline when he reached eleven years old, like Minato asked Sarutobi to do.

-BREAK-

And that's a wrap! I just could not think what to do with the Naruto meeting Kakashi and Rin part, I apologize for being late with this chapter. Next chapter will be longer, I hope and probably late again…

I can also only type only four days a week due to my laptop having a virus on it and the motherboard is goin' the way of ol' yeller which is to say dying, and the computer I write on is the family computer, is always busy.

CYA NEXT TIME! *Disappears using the Body Flicker technique, uses a bolt of lightning from the sky to vanish.*
