(In Naruto's mind)

Naruto and kurosaki had been talking for what seemed like hours, but really it was only a few minutes in the real world.

Naruto was blown away that his father was the fourth hokage. He wanted to ask kurosaki what he was like, but figured that it could wait. Naruto had found out his mother was a kind and gentle person, yet was a fierce warrior when she needed to be. It turned out kushina Uzumaki was actually a fox priestess. fox priest and priestesses could tap into a special charka that flowed through they're summons. The chakra that flowed through the kurosaki was called white lightning.

"Wow, I can't believe it, for once, but I'm just so happy that I found out who my parents are, thank you kurosaki nii-san". After Naruto said this he pulled kuro into a hug.

As soon as Naruto had called him nii-san, he became happy.

"Gag me with a tree." The kyuubi mocked trying to ruin the moment,"how bout i gag you with a dick spoke naruto" kyuubi blushed at the thought, but to no avail the two stayed in their embrace. Seeing this reminded the kyuubi of what it once was like to be snuggled up to the one you care about the most. shee remembered at night when she would bring home large amounts of meat for her mate and her litter of kits. After they had eaten their fill, they would all curl up together, and fall asleep.

The kyuubi was considering that perhaps she should help the boy in life as a ninja. he hasn't made a good impression thus far And that dog wouldn't help things along either right now. The fox would have to really give this a lot of thought, considering his living predicament that's all he could do.

(back with Naruto and kurosaki)

Naruto and kurosaki were still hugging when kurosaki sensed something.

"Naruto its time for you to go." The dog spoke.

"Go where?" Naruto asked in confusion.

"Back to the real world, one of your precious people is worried about you."

"Okay, bye kurosaki nii-san, kyuubi-hime."

"He's going to grow into a great man and an even better ninja."

"Yes and this will happen if we both start training him early."

"I don't trust you fox," neither do i you" kyuubi spoke but what did you have in mind kuro spoke."

Sarutobi sat at Naruto's bedside, eagerly waiting for the blond too awaken. Sarutobi thought back to all the times he wanted to help the boy , but coldn't because the council said and I quote, "Helping the demon brat is a sign of treason against the village." end flashb. God how he wanted to summon enma that day and destroy all the civilian council for the annoying threats.

As Sarutobi continued his inner rant, he noticed Naruto stirred and opened his eyes.

"Hey old man." Naruto replied with a small grin.

Naruto thank goodness your alright. Sarutobi said with concern.

"Umm hokage-sama?" Naruto out of characterly asked.

"Yes Naruto?" The hokage knew if Naruto called him that the blonde must desperately want something.

"Could I become a ninja?"

yes naruto" sarutobi spoke

From that day on Naruto trained to the point of exhaustion. His trainers consisted of both kurosaki and the kyuubi. The kyuubi taught Naruto chakra control, from walking up trees to walking on water to kunai balancing and waterfall walking. The kyuubi also put gravity and chakra weights on Naruto's wrists and and ankles to improve his stamina and speed and chakra. Kuro worked with Naruto on his hand sign speed. After three days of practicing his hand signs Naruto could do them all in under 20 seconds. Kuro taught Naruto the shadow clone jutsu, rai bunshin, tsuchi bunshin,

Earth style-earth wall, Earth style- earth prison, Lightning style-lightning beast running jutsu, Lightning release armor, Lightning release kirin level1, Summoning: Lightning Blade Creation,Lightning Release: Thunder Fang, Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Tornado, Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken, Earth Release: Earth Flowing River. Earth Release: Earth Dragon Missile,

This is what the first six months of his training consisted. To help train all day long,Naruto put a shadow clone in Iruka's class, so he could train all day. For exercise he ran all the way around konoha's walls 10 times did 500 situps, 1000 punches 1000 kicks, 400 pushups. Not an easy feet since he had to hide when ever ninja were on patrol and deal with the heavy weights that weighed exactly 150 pounds on each limb and only got heavier from that point on.

Naruto had continued his training like this all the way up to one day before graduating the academy.

(Current time 6:00 in the morning Monday)

Naruto woke from his slumber physically refreshed, but was mentally tired. All night kuro had been teaching him a lightning style of taijutsu called (electric lightning)- focusing on speed, agility, and fast swift attacks using space time ninjutsu along with lightning attacks. Naruto got up and did his usual morning rituals. Naruto got dressed and wore something other then that horrid orange jumpsuit he had. Naruto did like orange but the ugliness the suit gave off literally made him sick and it just screamed here I am kill me.

Naruto walked out wearing a dark blue short sleeve shirt that had the uzumaki swirl on it and a black lightning dog and a red fox that circled it protectively. Naruto also wore dark blue pants and a pair of shinobi sandals that were black( the ones akatsuki have the white part is grey). Naruto also wore a dark metal armor like madara has and a grey swirl mask with two eye holes. Surprisingly Naruto made his clothing choice based of madara uchiha and hashirama . After putting up with the glares and the beatings Naruto changed his wardrobe completely so people wouldn't notice him.

After Naruto got dressed he grabbed an apple and headed out the door , but remembered to lock the door. Kuro also berated Naruto on how he needed a balanced diet and almost crushed his ramen obsession completely. he also told him eating ramen all the time would lead to him being a midget so now he stood at about 5'4 with long hair like madara's but had the spikyness like his father and jiraiya.

oh yeah release us " spoke kyuubi and kuro

(Streets of konoha 7:20 academy start)

As Naruto made his way through konoha with kuro a giant black dog with orange eyes and kyuubi of equal size but with red eyes and one tail to the academy he couldn't feel weird not being glared at. As he walked he enjoyed the surprised looks and scared ones the older generation gave him, while the younger generation mostly girls had hearts in there eyes while the guys looked on in recognition at his fashion choices.

'Amazing what a change in wardrobe can do.'

"I'll admit kit you did make a good choice in clothing, lookes very intimidating." The kyuubi spoke to him. In time the kyuubi grew to like the boy and started treating him like a son. While it was true the kyuubi wasn't fond of humans, she did like the ones she respected. Naruto happened to be one of those people.

"Naruto you better hurry to get to the academy on time." Kuro piped in. While kuro was his spirit guide, Naruto treated him like a big brother.

Naruto had actually made it to the academy early.

Naruto walked through the halls with kyuubi and kuro and made it to his classroom and took a seat up in the back row.

Iruka walked into the class room and noticed someone and somethings he didn't recognize was sitting at a desk in the back row.

"Excuse me young man can I help you and your uhh partners." Iruka asked Naruto not realizing who he was.

"Iruka sensei its me." Naruto retorted in a monotone voice

Iruka did a double take at the boy he thought of as a son and didn't believe it.

"Wow, Naruto why the sudden change in clothes?" Iruka asked

"Just felt like something different." Naruto answered.

"Well I will admit it is a big improvement and that sakura girl you like might start talking to you." Iruka joked around with the boy knowing how he worshipped the girl which he didn't see why.

"Actually Iruka sensei I've actually decided to give up on sakura." Naruto retorted again.

Iruka was very surprised by this. He was starting to wonder if this really was Naruto or an imposter.

"Why the sudden disinterest in sakura?" Iruka asked his son figure.

"Well, Its obvious Sakura is one of uchiha sasuke's fangirls and won't date me, so why go after something that someone else already has?" Naruto asked

Iruka was shocked at the level of comon sense the boy was showing, and started to wonder if perhaps Naruto being an idiot was all an act. "Well Naruto if your not going after sakura then who then?"

"I was thinking just staying single for now."

Iruka sat in his class room waiting for the rest of the students to show up. To say he was shocked was an understatement, when he saw Naruto early and dressed in dark clothes and not his ugly jumpsuit.

Iruka was even more shocked when Naruto said he gave up on sakura.

"Oi, Naruto , why are you here so early?" The scarred chunnin asked.

"Isn't it good to be on time, Iruka sensei?" Naruto retorted

"Yes it is, but it just seems out of character for you." "Well I decided for a change of personality." Naruto said with a odd smile.

add ugh who are your very large friends pointing to the two very large ( little smaller than horse) animals laying down next to naruto".

they're my partners' spoke naruto

he's changed.' Iruka thought to himself. "Hey Iruka sensei, wake me when class starts." As soon as naruto finished the last of his sentence, unconscious-ness took him and he was fast asleep, but really he dived into his mind to talk to kuro and the kyuubi.

(In Naruto's mind)

"Hey Kuro-niichan, Kyuubi-hime." Naruto shouted to the two tenants. After the training started, Naruto started showing more respect to the fox demon. "Hello Kit, what brings you to this empty desolate place?" The Kyuubi spoke, trying to get a rise out of Naruto by calling his mind empty and and incomplete, also wondering why Naruto came, since there was no reason for him to.

"Very, funny Kyuubi-hime, I was actually thinking of changing my mindscape, to a different environment, for you and Kuro-niichan, speaking of which where is he anyway?" Naruto asked since he didn't see his dog of a big brother anywhere.

"he's still in the human worl watching the students so they don't try anything." The kyuubi answered

(In the real world)

Naruto woke up just in time as students started to pour into the room. A lot of the students immediately saw Naruto's outfit change and didn't recognize him along with the very large and intimidating animals next to him. Sasuke noticed and didn't pay attention although you could tell he was interested in who the guy was, granted he didn't recognize Naruto. In the young emo avengers mind, this is what he was thinking . .

Naruto just sat in his seat, waiting for class to start. Hinata was sitting behind him, a smile on her face that she was sitting next to her crush.

Iruka and Mizuki were now beginning the genin exams. Iruka called Naruto up first. Mizuki was about to interrupt him , when he saw someone he didn't recognize walk down the row and up to the front to begin.
