When the next day came Naruto set Konohamaru up with Gai and his team to train with. He went to Training field 7. He was there twirling a Kunai when the other two arrived. Naruto smiled at them and chuckled when they both yawned.
"Oh shut up baka." Said Sakura annoyed
"Sorry Sakura-Chan it's just amusing to see both of you so tired." Said Naruto smiling
"And like you're not." Sakura shot back, "You're no better off then we are."
"Actually Sakura-Chan I am wide awake. Have been since false dawn actually." Said Naruto as he took out a scroll, "I'm always up at false dawn. Have been for as long as I can remember. Even at the Orphanage I was the first one up and the last one down at night."
Sasuke was taken aback by this and said, "How come exactly?"
"As I said I have a lot of chakra. I have a mutated version of the Akimichi blood limit I think. Everything I eat is turned into chakra so I have very little to use for anything else my body needs. This means I need to eat larger meals than you two would to accommodate this. Plus I have a hyper healing ability." Said Naruto
"What's that exactly?" said Sakura as she yawned
Naruto held out his hand and said, "Cut my hand I need blood to open this scroll anyway and I'll show you."
Sasuke did it for him and Naruto placed a bloody handprint on the scroll and opened it showing two bento boxes and then turned his hand over and they both saw the deep gushing gash in his hand heal instantly without leaving a single trace it was there to begin with except the bloody hand which Naruto used water to wash off and show them. He said, "This is a hyper healing ability. My body can take more damage than yours can. Wounds that would hinder your movement are mere nesciences to me and fatal injuries to yourselves would only be no different than a cut would be to you two."
They were shocked and Sakura said, "Bull shit."
"The night of graduation Mizuki revealed himself as a traitor. You've both heard this right?" said Naruto
"Yeah Ino was talking about it. She said a boy and Iruka were almost killed because of him." Said Sakura
"I'm the boy Sakura. It's how I earned my Hai-ate and learned the Shadow clone jutsu. He used my access to the Sandaime's office to steal a scroll full of forbidden jutsu. I learned my clones from that. Iruka was injured protecting me because I was too shocked to more right away. I'm the one who caught Mizuki sensei. I overwhelmed him with clones and kicked his ass for trying to kill Iruka." Said Naruto
"And the point dobe?" said Sasuke
Naruto removed his vest after standing up and pulling his shirts over his head then turning around showing them his back and said, "The Hokage absolved me of the crime saying I couldn't be held responsible for following my teacher's orders. The Village elders didn't think the same thing. They whipped me 300 times for stealing the scroll and 100 more times for attacking a Chuunin no matter the reason for it. And another 100 for getting another Nin hurt. I was given 200 additional lashes on top of the 300 I had been charged with for being a traitor to the village for attacking Mizuki and protecting Iruka and for Iruka protecting me from Mizuki and getting a Fuma Shuriken to the back. I was in the council chambers with a chakra inhibitor on so it limited my healing for two hours before I was released to go home." He returned his shirts and looked at them, "It took me 2 hours to heal from receiving 500 lashes. You two would've been laid up if not dead after receiving that. Or you'd both be crippled."
"Why crippled?" said Sasuke hiding his shock at seeing something so horrid.
"Because the whip broke my back three times. If it wasn't for my super human healing I'd be paralyzed from just under my diaphragm down permanently." Said Naruto calmly
They were shocked and Naruto handed them both a box and said, "I made you guys some breakfast. I knew you wouldn't eat like Sensei suggested. I unfortunately had to eat or I'd end up with my stomach trying to eat itself."
They took them and said, "Thank you."
"Welcome." Said Naruto smiling, "So to get back on the topic I end up with an influx of chakra every morning at false dawn that wakes me up. Plus any control I get the day before is lost because my chakra reserve has grown. Uzumaki have the most chakra of all the ninja in the world."
"That's kind of scary when you think about it." Said Sakura
"Wait so that's why you jump around so much? You have too much chakra and it makes you fidgety." Said Sasuke
"Exactly." Said Naruto smiling as he sat down with them, "So anything else you want to know about me by chance?"
Sakura knew this was probably gonna be a sore subject but said, "When did you become an orphan exactly? I mean everyone knew Sasuke was but that was a shock to hear you were too."
Naruto chuckled and said, "I've always been one Sakura. I've never had parents. I had some mind you obviously but I never knew them. So in a way I'm both grateful and Jealous of Sasuke."
"Explain?" said Sasuke looking at him.
"I'm grateful because I don't remember them. I don't know what it is I've lost." Said Naruto looking at him, "But I'm jealous of you because you remember what it is you lost. You know what it's like to have parents. To get sick and have your mom take care of you or to get hurt and have her fuss of you. I've never had any of that ever. "
Sasuke had to admit that made sense and he said, "I can see that actually. So I guess I'm with you just backward."
Sakura looked at her food and said, "Naruto if you've been alone all this time. Who taught you to cook and take care of yourself? You had to have someone teach you."
"I had ANBU guards growing up. I'm not well liked in this village if you remember correctly Sakura-Chan your parents used to tell you to stay away from me. Called me a Monster." Said Naruto looking at her
"Yeah they did and do call you that. My mother wasn't happy when I told her I was on your team." Said Sakura who frowned.
"She gave you something to give me huh?" said Naruto amused
"A letter." Said Sakura showing it to him
Naruto took it and opened it and read,
Fox,
You listen to me well. I don't like you. I hate you even. But you are on my babies' team. That can't be changed I tried several times already. So you listen to me if anything happens to my little girl I don't care if she gets killed by her own jutsu I will hold you personally responsible and I will hunt you down like the monster you are and kill you with my bare hands. You have been warned.
Haruno Mebuki
Sasuke said, "Do I even want to ask?"
"Just a death threat. Told me if Sakura died even if she exploded herself with a Jutsu she failed she'd personally hold me responsible and hunt me down like the monster I am and kill me with her bare hands." Said Naruto chuckling before burning the letter with a burst of chakra, "No worries like she could."
"I'm sorry Naruto." Said Sakura
"Don't be she's just being protective. I can see it and understand it. Even if she only sees the Kunai instead of the scroll." Said Naruto smiling
"What does that mean exactly?" said Sasuke, "You said ask what we wanted to know so I am. You mentioned this same analogy yesterday."
Naruto merely held his upraised knees with his arms and was looking at the Memorial stone not far from them and said, "What do you know of the Nine-tails attack?"
"The Yondaime killed it but died doing so." Said Sakura
"We were taught this dobe." Said Sasuke
"I was sent out during that section Teme." Said Naruto not taking his eyes off the stone, "And that is a lie. The Yondaime didn't die killing the fox. You can't kill a creature of chakra."
"So what happened then?" said Sasuke
"He sealed it into a newborn baby." Said Naruto looking at the monument, "My mother Kushina housed the fox after the Shodai's wife Mito. When I was born the seal my mother had to hold the fox was weakened and a masked man attacked them. He killed the Third's wife and kidnapped me. He tried to kill me but my father saved me. Only to realize the man placed explosive tags on the blanket I was wrapped in. So my father used his Hirashin jutsu to get us out of there. The safe house exploded just as my father and I escaped. The man took my mother with him before the explosion. He released the nine-tails putting it under a Genjutsu." He sighed, "A sharingan induced Genjutsu to be exact." That shocked Sasuke greatly, "My father left me alone in another safe house and went to save my mother. He left us together and confronted the Masked Uchiha. He defeated him to a point and made him flee and managed to release the fox. But it still attacked the village to which it had been summoned to by the man. My father used his Hirashin jutsu and transported it out of the village with Gamabunta's help. He took him to the safe house my mother and I were at. My mother used her chakra chains to keep the fox bound in the area and my father…" He never took his eyes off the fourth's face, "Namikaze, Minato the Yondaime Hokage used the death god sealing technique to seal the nine-tails into the only person he could trust with such a task…" he looked at them then, "His own newborn son, me. He sealed the Fox's Yin chakra into himself and just as this was done the fox realized what was happening and tried to stop them the only way it could. By killing me. It attacked me and both my parents got in the way and barely stopped the fox's claw from hitting my chest. Their combined blood hit me right where my heart is. My father sealed their remaining chakra into myself in case I needed them and then finished the sealing. He died his soul being ripped out by the Shikigami to spend eternity in the death god's stomach. And my mother though alive only lasted long enough to tell the Sandaime my name and ask him to watch over me."
Both were shocked and Sasuke said, "How can everyone treat you horribly when they hail you father as hero?"
"Because no one knows." Said Naruto looking at the monument, "No one knew my parents had been married or that I am his son. He has a bounty on his head from Iwa and anyone baring his blood. So I am under Uzumaki. Only a select few knew my parents were married. Teuchi, Kakashi, Asuma, The Sandaime, Hiashi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Gai know that he is my father. Kakashi because my father trained him and practically raised him after his father killed himself when Sensei was 5 before he graduated. Asuma and the Third because they were family friends. Teuchi because my father like me loved ramen and they were friends. It's why I call Teuchi, Uncle because he treated my father like a brother. Hiashi because he was my mother's teammate. And Gai because my mother was his Jonin teacher."
They were shocked and Sakura said, "What'd you mother look like Naruto?"
"I don't know." Said Naruto looking at her, "I don't have pictures of her or my father. All I have to go by for him is the monument." He looked back at it and smiled, "Which is kind of funny really. I think he realized I'd end up alone and in that apartment."
"How do you figure dobe?" said Sasuke
"Because all the Hokage are looking right and he's looking left and angled just right to be looking right at my apartment and in my window at my bed." Said Naruto smiling
Sasuke chuckled much to Sakura's amusement and said, "You're probably right. But how do you not have photos of them?"
Naruto said, "They lived in safe houses and the safe houses were destroyed during the attack. So I lost everything." He looked at Sasuke, "I bet if you looked through old photo albums Sasuke you might find ones of my mother. She was best friends with your mother. They had to have had photos together at some point."
Sasuke said, "So I'll look. If I find any I'll give them to you."
Naruto smiled at him and sighed and said, "So what are we going to do?"
"What do you mean?" said Sakura
"Kakashi tests teamwork. So even if he says not to we have to work together or fail." Said Naruto, "So what do you want us to do?"
"I have no clue." Said Sakura
"Me either." Said Sasuke
"Alright then I'll take point if you two don't mind." Said Naruto
They both agreed and Naruto said, "Alright first, we have to take inventory of our supplies, and we need to know what our territory looks like."
Naruto created over a hundred clones that broke off from them in different directions evenly spaced and he said, "We'll have a map of our terrain soon."
"So we need to show everything we have?" said Sakura
"Exactly. Inventory resources." Said Naruto, "Then we need to plan ahead. Kurama says once you know all relative information a plan will often write itself."
"Who's Kurama exactly?" said Sasuke as he took out all his things.
"Kurama is the Nine-tails. It's his real name. The one the Sage gave him before releasing him." Said Naruto as he unsealed everything
"You can talk to him?" said Sakura shocked
"Yeah." Said Naruto smiling, "Why want to meet him?"
Sasuke looked at him and said, "How can you do that?"
"Well you'd be easy. If you had the Sharingan you could enter the same place I do when talking to him face to face. But otherwise I just have to do this." Said Naruto who closed his eyes and called on Kurama's chakra but only enough to let him have access.
Naruto's face took on a more vicious look, his whiskers darkened, and when he opened his eyes they were slit like a cat's and blood red and his voice was more feral and he smiled showing pointed teeth and merely scratched the itch that was driving him nuts near Naruto's ear with his elongated claws and he said, Nice to meet you both. An Uchiha and a Haruno should be interesting really.
Sakura was terrified and Sasuke said, "Nice to meet you as well Kurama-san."
Deep guttural laughter filled the training ground and he smiled and said, I like you Uchiha. Maybe I won't kill you after all.
As soon as it came it all went away and Naruto was back and he said, "Annoying fur ball. Ignore that comment Sasuke he was goofing off."
"I know. He was trying to intimidate me like he did Sakura." Said Sasuke, "I've seen scarier really."
Naruto busted up and Sakura broke out of her trance and said, "What is so funny?"
"Kurama. He called Sasuke a chibi hairless monkey. Hardly a mouthful and he thinks I'm not scary." Said Naruto cracking up
Once calm Naruto said, "Five spools of ninja wire, 9 pouches of kunai, shuriken, 4 pouches of senbons…"
And the list went on and one and Naruto took a scroll and drew them a map and said, "Alright so now that we have that done all we need now are the parameters of the test."
They packed everything and agreed to meet up at the bridge on the far side of the training field. When Kakashi arrived he smiled at them and said, "Alright well you will have until noon to get one of these bells from me. Anyone who doesn't have a bell will go back to the academy. After the alarm goes off the one without the bell will be tied up while the other two get to eat lunch in front of them while they get nothing."
None of their stomachs growled and Kakashi raised an eyebrow and said, "Disobeyed already huh."
"Actually sensei you suggested we don't eat or we might puke. I gave them bento boxes to eat because I didn't think if fair to let them go hungry when I myself ate." Said Naruto raising his hand, "I have a mutated form of the Akimichi blood limit and have to eat or risk actually starving to death. Skipping a single meal could actually kill me. Well if Kurama would allow it but he won't but hunger pains suck ass."
"Whose Kurama?" said Kakashi
All three in unison said, "Kyuubi."
Kakashi actually dropped the bells and Naruto snorted and said, "I told them before you came. Sasuke asked me about my analogy between a Kunai and a scroll so I told them. It's my secret to tell. And only I or the Sandaime can tell it without getting killed for it."
Kakashi was just shocked and said, "And you two don't care?"
"Naruto's not the fox." Said Sakura
"Yeah we met Kurama." Said Sasuke amused, "You can tell the difference between them."
Kakashi looked ready to have a heart attack and Naruto laughed and said, "Chill Kakashi-sensei I only let him have control to say hi. He gave it right back. He was tired actually."
Kakashi picked up the bells and said, "Any way since you all ate through no fault of your own. We'll move on. You will have to come at me with the intent to kill or you won't actually get a bell."
Naruto raised his hand and Kakashi said, "Yes Blondie?"
"You said with the intent to kill. So we're not actually supposed to kill you right?" said Naruto
"No but you can't even get close to doing that." Said Kakashi eye smiling
"So knock out or make it so that your incapable of fighting back is acceptable yes?" said Naruto
Kakashi eye smiled again and said, "Yes those would be acceptable."
Naruto smiled at Kurama's suggestion and said, "And if we do manage to knock you out or incapacitate you in some way?"
Kakashi snorted and said, "You manage to incapacitate me I'll give you one free jutsu from my repertoire and if you knock me out I will give you two."
"Good ones not some low rank ones?" said Naruto
"Yes good ones. Either A or S-rank jutsu." Said Kakashi
They talked it over and Naruto said, "Alright sounds fair."
Kakashi started the clock and said, "Start."
They all disappeared except Naruto or so it seemed. Naruto though had switched with a clone and was at the bridge with the others. They were going over options and once the clone dispelled they had a perfect plan to use. They went back to the ground and Naruto came out of hiding and Kakashi said, "Pretty smart using a clone to distract me Naruto."
"Thank you Sensei." Said Naruto smiling as he surprised them by pulling headphones out and putting them in his ears.
He looked through his lay list and selected Imagine Dragons Warriors and then put it away and used a seal on the headphones and let them all hear it. Naruto smirked and then ran at Kakashi and started a taijutsu fight. Kakashi had to put his book away actually much to his shock. When a set of kunai flew at him from the left and another set from the right when he dodged he was forced to move. Naruto smiled and merely pulled out his music again and searched through the list and chose Click, Click Boom by Saliva.
When Kakashi managed to dodge them he said, "No bad brats. But what now Naruto."
Naruto smiled and slid his foot behind himself and took a stance that Kakashi recognized and said, "The Hyuuga's Gentle Fist huh. Not gonna be very effective without their Byakugan to back it up Naruto."
Naruto smiled and then flew at him and struck him and they saw the fact Kakashi's clothes were burning where Naruto struck. Naruto never missed a beat. He moved and used the Hyuuga's gentle fist perfectly. He may not have been closing chakra points be he had it effectively done. Sasuke and Sakura took the opportunity and stole the bells and merely stood in a tree and watched Naruto work. They showed him the bells and he only smiled wider and moved away and Kakashi said, "What's wrong Naruto tired already?"
Naruto pulled his head phones down and said, "No but I can stop using my Katon: Houka hira no jutsu (Flame release: Flaming palm technique) though. And use my other one. Hope you have my jutsu ready old man cause your gonna owe me two of them."
Naruto put his headphones as the song Day of the dead by Hollywood undead came on and he smiled as he threw his hands toward his sides coating them in flames before he ran at Kakashi and throwing a punch and they watched Kakashi barely dodge it and Naruto to hit the ground exploding it and then flittering toward him and Sakura in awe said, "What jutsu is this Sasuke-kun?"
"This is the Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (fire release: shatter force technique) he can only use this twice or risk shattering the bones in his arms." Said Sasuke
They went back and forth for almost an hour and Kakashi actually had to use his Sharingan to keep up with Naruto. Who was smiling the whole time and when he struck Kakashi he exploded and Kakashi got up and was breathing hard and Naruto smiled more as his song changed to Bulletproof by 12 stones he changed jutsu and instead his whole body was engulfed in flames and he smiled viciously before shooting after Kakashi leaving a crater. Sasuke ended up on the branch of the tree in awe and Sakura said, "Sasuke-kun?"
"This is the Moushou Kaseiken (Fierce flame fist) it's an s-rank Katon jutsu. I thought this was just a fable. No one has mastered Katon jutsu enough to do this jutsu. I don't think anyone in my family has ever been able to do this." Said Sasuke in complete awe
Naruto slammed a fist into Kakashi's skull creating a very large explosion that was felt throughout the village and the Jonin in the tower were freaked out and Asuma said, "What was that?"
Konohamaru was sitting in the office and smiled and said, "That was boss Uncle."
Hiruzen looked at him and said, "You're sure Konohamaru?"
"Yes Grandpa. That was Boss's most powerful Katon Jutsu." Said Konohamaru
"Do you know which that was?" said Iruka
"Yep that was the Moushou Kaseiken." Said Konohamaru, "Kind of feel sorry for Mr. Hatake though. Odds are Boss used that on him too."
"Sir I'm not familiar with that jutsu." Said Iruka
"That is an S-rank fire Jutsu that completely coats the user in flames. It's a fable level of mastery not even the Uchiha's themselves could achieve." Said Hiruzen amused, "Seems Itachi was giving Naruto family jutsu if he learned that one. That particular scroll sits in the Uchiha vault."
Naruto walked toward Kakashi's prone body as the flames died down and he turned his music off and Sasuke came running over and put his hands on his shoulders and said, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah no problem. I'll be fine once I eat again." Said Naruto exhausted
Sasuke took Naruto's arm and put it over his shoulder and Sakura was knelt next to Kakashi and said, "He's alive. Out cold but alive."
Naruto smiled and said, "Ha you owe me two jutsu's old man."
Sasuke cracked up and said, "Let's get some lunch guys."
They all sat down and Naruto looked at what they had and took all of it and created something far more nutritious for them and more filling. They drank hot chocolate too and Naruto said, "So what do you two want to do while we wait for the Lazy hound to wake up?"
Sasuke said, "Can you teach me how to do the flame palm?"
"I have to have Hiashi's permission to teach you that one Sasuke. It uses their Gentle fist jutsu to do it properly." Said Naruto, "But if he says yeah then I'll teach you."
Sasuke said, "Alright."
Sakura said, "That was kind of cool how you turned all fire Naruto."
"Yeah dobe that was awesome." Said Sasuke, "I was completely blown away."
That had them all cracking up. Naruto got them all working out and had fit them with weights too. And they went home and Naruto stayed with Kakashi on the training field. When morning came Naruto heard the groaning while he was doing his usual workout and walked over to him and bent down and said, "Sensei?"
Kakashi opened his eye and said, "Naruto?"
"Yep. You sit up?" said Naruto
"I think so." Said Kakashi
Naruto helped him sit up and then handed him a cup of coffee and said, "It's fresh I just made it."
Kakashi said, "Thank you."
Naruto went back to his morning routine and Kakashi drank his coffee trying to make sense of what happened and then said, "Naruto what time is it?"
Naruto smiled and said, "6 am."
Kakashi looked at him and said, "It's what time?"
"It's 6 am. I knocked you out with that last punch. You've been out cold all night. I stayed here all night with you. Figured if you didn't wake up by the time I had to meet Saru at the Tower then I was taking you to the hospital. But you're up with 30 minutes to spar even." Said Naruto as he switched hands, "So you hungry?"
Kakashi only stared and said, "OK."
Naruto said, "Moonrun."
The silver furred wolf appeared and said, "Yes Alpha?"
Naruto smiled at him and said, "Can you go get an order of Salt-broiled Saury and miso soup with eggplant. And an order of Akimichi's BBQ for me please?"
"Of course Alpha." Said Moonrun leaving
Kakashi looked at him and said, "You know my favorite food."
"Of course I do. I know everything about you, Lazy Hound." Said Naruto amused
Kakashi only stared and Naruto cracked up and said, "Yeah I know who you are. So thank you for protecting me for most of my life."
Kakashi smiled and said, "Your welcome Naruto."
When Moonrun returned they ate and Naruto ate with Kakashi and surprised Kakashi by eating the BBQ bones and all and Kakashi said, "Just because you have a contract with Wolves doesn't mean eat like them."
Naruto snorted and said, "I'm not. I happen to like the bones. Plus if I eat them then it's a source of Calcium and I can use it to rebuild the bones I shattered yesterday during our sparing match."
"What do you mean shattered?" said Kakashi stopping mid bite
"I shattered my arm yesterday punching you so much. The shatter force jutsu can only be used feasibly twice in a row without breaking the user's bones. I have an awesome healing factor so I can use it all I want. But it still takes awhile if I use it with the flame fist move." Said Naruto as he finished his food.
Once done he went to the lake and cleaned up he took his shirts off shocking Kakashi when he saw Naruto's back before his hair covered it and Naruto jumped into the lake and went swimming for a while and came out two hours later and shook himself off like a dog would before coming back with his shirts and Kakashi said, "What the hell happened to your back?"
"Don't worry about it Sensei." Said Naruto smiling
Kakashi frowned and said, "Explain."
Naruto told him what happened and He was beyond pissed and said, "Come on we're going to go and talk to the Sandaime."
"Sensei I'm fine honest." Said Naruto as they cleaned up, "I am just not going to let them walk all over me anymore. I've decided I'm not going to be a victim anymore."
Kakashi put his hands on his shoulders and said, "That maybe Naruto but they had no right to punish you if the Sandaime said you were free of all charges. So they over stepped their bounds and will be punished for it."
They went to the office and Hiruzen said, "Nice of you to join us Kakashi."
"Sorry Gramps that was my fault. I knocked him out with my last jutsu." Said Naruto coming in behind him.
Konohamaru ran over and said, "You used your best fire jutsu huh? We felt it all the way over here."
"Yeah I did. And that last punch was to Kakashi's head." Said Naruto ruffling his hair, "Saru go run the village parameter and get your warm up and cool down out of the way."
"Got it boss." Said Konohamaru running off
Kakashi said, "Sir there is something you need to know."
"What?" said Hiruzen now on full alert
"Naruto show him." Said Kakashi
Naruto sighed and pulled his shirt and vest off and turned around. Kakashi moved his hair and said, "The council punished him for the crimes you cleared him of."
"How many are there Naruto?" said Hiruzen
"300 for stealing the scroll. 100 for attacking Mizuki who was a Chuunin and no matter the reason it was wrong. And another 100 for Iruka getting hurt protecting me from Mizuki's Fuma Shurikan." Said Naruto, "So 500 and then had a chakra inhibitor placed so Kurama couldn't heal me."
Hiruzen was horrified and said, "Who was present?"
"Only your three advisors Gramps." Said Naruto putting everything back on, "They had me taken back home after I had healed. I went to bed and didn't get up again until picture day."
Hiruzen was shocked and Kakashi said, "That was a whole week Naruto. You slept for a whole week straight?"
"Yeah it happens when I have to heal." Said Naruto, "Depends on the damage done."
"What was the damage?" said Hiruzen
"Besides the visible damage, I had my spine broken three times just under my diaphragm and the muscles in my back torn. So all of it had to be fixed." Said Naruto who shrugged rubbing his arm.
"Still hurts?" said Kakashi
"Yeah but it's not as bad as it was yesterday or this morning." Said Naruto
"Kakashi?" said Hiruzen
"He shattered his arm using his fire jutsu." Said Kakashi
"It's healing just slower because I used my full body Jutsu on top of my flame fist." Said Naruto, "No big deal it's healing. Kurama's just taking his time so it doesn't cause problems with my joints is all."
Hiruzen stood up and said, "I will deal with them Naruto. But right now let's go and see a Medi-nin and make sure there isn't anything overly wrong with you because of them."
They got him seen to and Hiruzen said, "So?"
"There is no lasting damage to his back. We did put a brace on his arm to keep it from slipping out of place while it's healing. But overall he seems fine. You may want to take him to see Choza and get him on supplements though. He's converting everything to chakra and not leaving anything for his body to use for anything else." Said the medi-nin
Naruto was allowed to go home and Kakashi said, "I'll tell Konohamaru to go to Gai today. You go home and rest."
"Alright not going to argue." Said Naruto going home
Once home he wrote up a note and said, "Wildheart…"
He came over and said, "Yes Alpha?"
"Can you take this to Shikkotsu Forest and ask Katsuyu to give this to Lady Tsunade for me?" said Naruto handing him the scroll
"Of course Alpha." Said Wildheart before leaving
"Alpha the toads brought the scroll Jiraiya promised." Said Moonrun
Naruto opened the scroll and saw several Jutsu scrolls, books on Seals, and new chakra weights and even some new clothes for his summons. He smiled and nearly jumped for joy when he unsealed another storage scroll and saw a set of swords fall out. He smiled too cause his mother's taijutsu involved one blade and so did his father's. And he had worked on a style that combined the two so it worked perfectly because t required two swords. But swords were expensive and he couldn't afford them. He checked their weight and found them to be perfect actually.
Naruto smiled and said, "Alright this is perfect."
"Alpha what happened to your arm?" said Nightrun
"I shattered the bones in my arm." Said Naruto petting her head, "I'm alright actually. I heal faster than normal people and faster than other Uzumaki cause my Father was a Namikaze and had a healing ability as well. So mine is a lot better. It's just going slower because of the fact I used several Katon jutsu back to back."
Naruto lifted up all the vests he'd been given and smiled as before he got them all in their new vests. He smiled and said, "Peacock blue isn't that bad actually."
Wildheart arrived and said, "Whoa we get vests cool."
Naruto said, "Yep so come get yours."
Once it was on Wildheart said, "She said she'd send them with Katsuyu when they were done."
"Awesome." Said Naruto smiling
Naruto actually sat down and started working on something else while they all played around enjoying their new vests. Naruto when done said, "Come on you guys let's go."
"Who Alpha?" said Treewhisper
"All of us." Said Naruto smiling
All ten of them followed him as he ran the building's roofs. When they came to the building that kept their records Naruto went over to the counter and said, "Anyone in?"
"Give me a moment." Said the man in the back
When he came back he sighed and said, "What do you need Uzumaki?"
Naruto ignored the curt tone but Moonrun and his pack didn't they growled and the man noticed the ten wolves with him and Naruto smiled and showed him the design and said, "Can you make me this please?"
He looked at the design and said, "Yeah should be easy enough. Do you want it to sit over your own clan symbol?"
Naruto smiled and said, "Alright it should look cool."
When the man came back he showed it to him and Naruto said, "Perfect."
He took their vests and said, "All ten please."
The man took them and attacked them to the vests and came back only to motion and Naruto removed his own jacket and merely showed them their new vests and Moonrun said, "Wow Alpha."
"We combined my clan's symbol with a moon design." Said Naruto as he put all the vests back on them.
"Here you go Uzumaki." Said the man
Naruto saw the new symbol upon his own Jacket and said, "Thank you sir. Can you add my father's symbol to the front though please?"
"It can be done. You have space on the left breast that I can put it in." said the man indicating the space, "But I'd need a name for that kid. And I don't know it."
"I know who he is. Do you need a birth record for it?" said Naruto smiling
"In your case yeah I would since I was never told which one it was." Said the man
"Moonrun go ask Gramps for my certificate. Tell him I need my real one with both parents on it. And tell him I know who my dad is already all he has to do is ask my team I told them already." Said Naruto
Moonrun left and when he came back it was with an ANBU who said, "Name?"
"Namikaze Minato." Said Naruto smiling
The man handed it to the records keeper and said, "I was told to check first to verify if you indeed did know it."
"Figured that." Said Naruto
The man took it and said, "Wow. Alright give me a moment I need to find it."
When he left the ANBU said, "You realize there is a bounty on that name right?"
"Yes I am aware." Said Naruto looking at him, "But I can handle myself. I did after all knock out Captain Hound with a single punch yesterday. And he didn't wake up till 6am this morning."
The ANBU was shocked and went to confirm this and came back and said, "Oh wow ok never mind then."
Naruto chuckled and the man came out and said, "Ok that's it."
Naruto smiled and took the vest and put it back on and the ANBU said, "What did you do to your original symbol Naruto?"
"I had another one made. This one combines a symbol I created for my pack with my mother's clan symbol." Said Naruto smiling, "There the Moon pack so a symbol with moons works perfectly."
The wolves looked at him each one bore a moon symbol of some kind on their foreheads. The ANBU said, "Hokage-sama asked to see you when you were done."
"Alright thank you." Said Naruto
When they left the record keeper Naruto went to the office with the wolves. They entered the hallway and Naruto went inside and said, "Hey Gramps."
"Hello Naruto." Said Hiruzen smiling
Naruto handed him the certificate back and said, "Thank you for letting me have it."
"Welcome." Said Hiruzen putting it away, "I see you had them place it on your vest."
"I figured if I can take on and Knock out Captain Hound himself then I can defend myself just fine from would be assassins plus with my pack living with me they aren't going to get very far." Said Naruto smiling
"True." Said Hiruzen sitting down, "So I was informed you had them make a new clan symbol for you?"
Naruto chuckled and turned around and showed him the back of his vest and Moonrun said, "Alpha created a symbol for us and the man at the room asked if he wanted it on top of his own. So Alpha combined them both."
"It is very well done Naruto." Said Hiruzen impressed really
Naruto turned around and said, "Thank you."
"So my next question is which do you want for your own?" said Hiruzen smiling, "Do you want the original Uzumaki swirl pattern or your new one when used in regards to yourself? You are the last Uzumaki and as such you can change it if you want to."
"It's not changing it Gramps. It's honoring the pack we have a contract with. The rest of the Uzumaki treated them as dumb animals and free slave labor. I don't do that." Said Naruto scratching Wildheart's ears, "I treat them as Sensei treats his pack and how the Inuzuka treat their familiars. They are my friends and my partners. They deserve respect. Since none of the rest of my family ever gave it to them I am. It only seemed right to combine the two."
Hiruzen smiled and said, "Alright then I will have the change noted and the reason for it."
Naruto smiled and said, "So on a side note who is in charge of my mother and Father's clans?"
Hiruzen chuckled and said, "I am actually."
Naruto paled and said, "So wait most of this paperwork is cause of that?"
"Yes actually." Said Hiruzen amused
Hiruzen was thinking Naruto was going to thank him for dealing with it for him when Naruto gave a horrified look and said, "No way Gramps."
"Yes way kiddo." Said Hiruzen
"No you miss understand. I didn't not believe you. I am say no way. Put me in charge. You have enough to do with running a whole village to have to deal with my clan crap too." Said Naruto, "I'm a Ninja now that means I am legally an adult and can do it myself now."
Hiruzen said, "Naruto you realize this is a lot of work."
"And you realize I have Shadow clones who retain memory of everything they do. I can have my work done in seconds and not even have to be there to do it." Said Naruto
Hiruzen looked at him and face palmed as he took out a folder and opened it and read the note before slamming his head on the target and Naruto chuckled and Moonrun said, "Alpha is the elder alright?"
"Yes Moonrun. He is merely punishing himself for not realizing he could use a jutsu to do his work for him as my father did." Said Naruto
"I cannot believe I never thought of that." Said Hiruzen
"And people say blondes are dumb." Said Naruto smiling, "No offense intended there gramps."
Hiruzen laughed and said, "No your right actually."
"So put me in charge of my family affairs Gramps. It's not fair your stuck doing it all yourself." Said Naruto firmly
Hiruzen said, "Let's try this alright. I will place you in charge temporarily. If I see you can handle the responsibility of being a clan head to two clans and still manage your training then I will make it permanent."
"Alright deal." Said Naruto smiling
"Alright then I need to call a council meeting. And we will deal with my three team mates then for their actions against you." Said Hiruzen
"Your going to announce who I am to everyone aren't you?" said Naruto smiling
"Yes I am." Said Hiruzen smiling, "Do you not want me to?"
"No go right ahead." Said Naruto smiling, "I was just asking. Can I make a suggestion on some things?"
"I'm listening." Said Hiruzen wondering what Naruto was thinking
Naruto sat down and said, "First off I'd have to say the Academy curriculum needs changed badly."
"Explain?" said Hiruzen
Naruto said, "Wildheart can you go get me the scroll on my shelf with the Uchiha fan on it please? It's the symbol on the back of Sasuke's shirt."
"The red and white fan?" said Wildheart
"Yep." Said Naruto
Wildheart left and when he came back Naruto took it and unsealed the books from it and said, "Mantis can you go ask Iruka for a current set of academy books please?"
Mantis left and returned with them and placed them on the desk and he said, "Thank you Mantis."
Naruto placed the ones he unsealed on the desk and said, "These are Itachi's old academy books. He gave them to me after he graduated so I always had a set at home that couldn't be destroyed or ruined."
Hiruzen got to looking through the two sets and Naruto said, "As you can see it's changed a lot since Itachi was in school."
"Yeah it has." Said Hiruzen, "Itachi's books are the same ones I was taught with. These ones are nowhere near anything. Mantis go ask Iruka to pull the current curriculum and the one that was taught to him in the academy. I want to see them both."
Mantis left and returned with Iruka who said, "Here you go sir. This is the current one and this is the one from when I went to school."
Hiruzen looked at them and said, "Why did you not bring this to my attention Iruka?"
"We were told you had been informed of the changes sir." Said Iruka, "We're we wrongly informed."
"You were outright lied to Iruka." Said Naruto, "I used Itachi's old school books at home to do my homework."
"That explains why you failed then." Said Iruka
Hiruzen smiled and said, "Iruka take Naruto with you and test him with the original Genin exam. I want to see what his score would have been had the curriculum not changed."
Iruka smiled and said, "Of course sir."
So Naruto went and retook the Genin exam and when they returned Iruka said, "His new scores sir."
Hiruzen took them and was shocked and said, "Whoa."
Naruto smiled and said, "That bad."
"No. Naruto if they had used the old curriculum you'd of graduated." Said Hiruzen getting up and pulling two files and checked them against Naruto's own, "With honors no less."
"What's that mean gramps?" said Naruto
"That means Naruto that you beat out the Rookie of the year from last year. That means your score was higher than Hinata's cousin Neji." Said Iruka
"He didn't just beat them Iruka." Said Hiruzen in shock, "Naruto your score was twice as high as your parents combined score and they were the rookie of the year and Kunoichi of the year they graduated."
"Wow so someone really messed up then." Said Iruka shocked
"Oh yeah they did." Said Hiruzen.
"The civilian council is in charge of the Academy Gramps." Said Naruto, "I threatened to have one of my old teachers fired for falsely failing me and tampering with my work and she said you didn't control them that the civilian council made the rules there not you. She has since been fired so no worries there."
"Not after this meeting they won't. This current curriculum will only result in our Nin getting hurt. No wonder the Genin we are getting have such low scores. I had thought that you were passing them because we had no one else. Not that the studies were greatly diminished." Said Hiruzen looking at Naruto as he sat down, "Thank you for bringing it to my attention Naruto."
"Welcome Gramps." Said Naruto
"So what else was there on your list?" said Hiruzen amused
Naruto chuckled and said, "Please don't be angry at me."
"What did you do?" said Hiruzen
"I sort of snooped in the records room." Said Naruto as he got up and pulled a scroll from the wall and brought it over and said, "This is the current budget listings."
Hiruzen said, "Yes and I can't even make sense of this. Your father couldn't either."
Naruto went over to another wall and pulled another newer scroll and placed it on the desk and said, "That's the revised on I came up with. We're actually losing more money that we should and most of it is going to line the pockets of civilian council members and merchants." Hiruzen was looking through it, "I made up a plan on what to do with the misappropriated funds and placed them where they were needed the most like the Orphanage and taking care of the districts that need it."
Hiruzen said, "When did you do this?"
"I had a lot of time on my hands. I'd get chased around and I'd hide in here either for them to leave or for you to come back from meetings. So I kept a record of everything I found. You were always grumbling about the budget so I figured if I helped with that then it would get rid of most of your paperwork." Said Naruto smiling, "I didn't know that most of that was mine to be doing and not yours."
Hiruzen said, "I can't believe you managed to figure this out where we couldn't. And I'm not made. I say we use it."
Naruto smiled and Iruka laughed and said, "Looks like he's already taking his job as Future Hokage seriously sir."
"So it seems." Said Hiruzen joining him.
So for hours they went over things that needed to be changed. Hiruzen actually listened to Naruto's ideas as he would his advisors opinions. When it was time for the meeting Hiruzen had a wonderful idea. They went to the council chambers together. And upon arriving Homura said, "Why exactly are we meeting this time Hiruzen?"
Naruto frowned and said, "Gramps is it customary for everyone to show the Hokage such disrespect?"
Hiruzen said, "No it's not."
One civilian sneered and said, "Why is that demon here? Have you finally decided to kill it sir?"
"No I have not nor will I ever decide to do that." Said Hiruzen sternly, "Homura if you disrespect me in such a way again I will have you punish severely for it."
"Yes Hokage-sama." Said Homura clearly not happy.
He looked at the clan council and said, "Naruto your chair is near Mr. Aburambe."
"Ok Gramps." Said Naruto
Hiruzen stopped him from leaving and said, "Be that as it may you will sit next to me." He looked at Homura, "Kindly remove yourself from that chair Homura."
Homura got up and Naruto took it and Homura said, "Sir I apologize for this but what is the meaning for this?"
"This is retribution owed." Said Hiruzen, "Ibiki."
He came out and said, "Sir?"
"Take Homura, Koharu, and Danzo into custody please." Said Hiruzen sitting down in his own chair.
"For what Hiruzen-sama?" said Koharu
"You dare ask me that Koharu. Did you think I would not find out about your actions regarding Naruto?" said Hiruzen angrily, "You three have overstepped your bounds. You had no right to have him whipped 500 times."
"He stole the scroll Sensei filled with forbidden jutsu Hiruzen." Said Koharu, "Not only that he attacked an active Nin and managed to get another one hurt."
"He was following orders Koharu. Mizuki was a traitor and used his access in my home to get the scroll. He ordered Naruto to take it from my house." Said Hiruzen angrily, "We don't punish subordinates for following the orders of their superiors. And we sure as hell do not punish them for protecting their fellow Nins. Nor do we punish our subordinates cause the superior chooses to protect them. If we are going to do that then we should punish this whole village for making Minato sacrifice himself to protect us from the nine tails."
Everyone was silent and Hiruzen said, "I cleared him of his crimes you had no right to drag him in here and deal out a punishment nor one so harsh. You are aware if it weren't for his blood limit you would have permantely paralyzed him from the diaphragm down because of that or that you would have crippled him. Your actions tore the muscles in his back and snapped his back three times." Everyone was shocked and Hiruzen said, "I have already declared your punishment. You three are hereby under arrest for disregarding your superior's orders, for attacking a child, and for harming a clan heir of two clans and the clan head of those two clans. You are hereby stripped of your status and rank and are remanded to the Konoha maximum prison for the rest of your natural life."
All three were shocked and Naruto kept quiet and just as Danzo went to move against them several snarling growls were heard and 10 wolves appeared. Danzo found himself pinned to the floor in front of the desk by a large silver wolf fangs bared and Naruto smiled as the other nine joined him and the ANBU arrested the other two and Naruto went around and Ibiki went over and Naruto said, "Come."
All ten of them moved and joined Naruto who scratched Moonrun's ears and smiled as Ibiki arrested him and said, "I'd like you to meet my friends. These are Moonrun, Nightrun their son Wildheart and daughter Treewhisper. Brothers Flameheart and Brushfire. Sisters Windsong and Starhaven. And Nephews Silverstorm and Sunflame." He smiled as he pet them all, "These are the Moon pack and my personal pack."
Tsume felt her heart flutter slightly and merely internally analyzed her new found lust for her son's friend. Hiruzen said, "Get them out of here." He smiled, "As of today my new head advisor is Naruto."
Naruto looked at him and Hiruzen said, "Our conversation earlier is what an advisor does Naruto. You already showed me you can make an excellent one."
Naruto merely took his chair and his pack all laid on the floor around him and once they were gone Hiruzen said, "Alright first off the academy is being returned to the original course studies."
The civilians had an outrage and a snarl rent the air echoing through the chambers. All eyes turned to Naruto who was standing leaning on the table with blue slit eyes and in a deep but firm voice, "Enough. It is not your place to question the Hokage. You are in place so that the civilians have a say. You can just as easily be abolished in your entirety. This is a shinobi village not a civilian one. We don't need your council at all. It is a courtesy that you sit here and get a say in the affairs of this village not a right."
Everyone was quiet the clan council was impressed and the civilians were crossed between fear and hatred Tsume was turned on completely by the display of power and Hiruzen smiled and said, "Thank you Naruto." Naruto sat down, "The academy will be returned to the Shinobi council immediately. And the original studies are reinstated. All current ninjas will be tested against the old test to see where they stand. Depending on their score they will be sent back to the Academy for remedial classes. They will retain their rank and positions but will take their other studies seriously or lose their status as a ninja and have to start over."
Haruno smiled and said, "Well that puts Uzumaki in remedial classes."
"Actually it doesn't Mrs. Haruno. That does place your daughter in them though." Said Naruto smiling, "I already took my exam before coming here."
"Naruto's score would have placed him as Rookie of the year with honors." Said Hiruzen smiling, "His score was twice as high as Kushina and Minato's combined score."
The clans were shocked and Inoichi said, "How is that possible sir? He was in my daughters graduating class."
"That may be true Inoichi but Naruto when he was a year old was gifted the original course books." Said Hiruzen smiling, "Itachi gave him his old course books after he graduated from the academy. He anticipated the teachers may damage his books or try to ruin them in some way. Naruto taught himself using the old books. It's why his scores were so low. He was answering using the old books not the new ones."
The clan heads were shocked but accepted it and Hiruzen said, "We will also be implementing this new budget as well."
Everyone groaned and Naruto snickered and Inoichi said, "You laugh now Naruto just wait till you have to deal with this budget yourself."
Naruto smiled and said, "I already have Mr. Yamanaka. I am the one who designed the new budget. I've had it done for a while now."
Hiruzen said, "He isn't kidding. He made sense of all those charts and figures."
The civilians were weary and Naruto smiled and said, "Yeah I saw all of it and fixed it."
Hiruzen said, "It seems the civilian council and some of our merchants have been stealing from our treasury. Naruto fixed it and sent the miss appropriated money elsewhere. Where it was needed the most. Like the Orphanage that seems to have had their funds cut down so much they can only feasibly handle maybe ten or twelve kids instead of the nearly 50 heads they have in their care."
Tsume said, "Sir if they can't feed them all then how have they been doing so all these years?"
"I must agree sir." Said Shikaku, "Where has their money been coming from if not from the village?"
Hiruzen said, "I haven't had time to talk to Miss Nomura about that yet."
Naruto smiled and said, "From me."
Everyone looked at him and Hiruzen said, "Explain Naruto?"
Naruto smiled and said, "I've been paying for everything. And Miss Nomura isn't in charge anymore. She was actually stealing from the orphanage. She was only using a tenth of the money on the charges the rest was going into her own pocket."
Everyone was shocked and Shikaku said, "So who is in charge then?"
Naruto smiled and said, "I am actually. I made her an ultimatum she either handed the orphanage over to me in its entirety or I was taking it up with the Daimyo himself on what she was doing. She called my bluff until I actually came to the mission desk when he was here with his wife and had him follow me there. She backed off immediately." He smiled more, "I've been in charge since I was three."
That shocked everyone and Hiruzen said, "Where is the money coming from Naruto?"
"I worked for it. I work at a shipping company. They pay big money for people who can lift heavier than normal packages. I could probably chuck Choza up over my head a good 200 ft or more by now. I know I can chuck Choji over my head to land a good 350ft. I've done it on a bet with Kiba." Said Naruto smiling, "Plus cause the Chuunin you placed in charge of giving me my stipend stole it every second month I took to helping my uncle at his job."
"Whose that exactly?" said Hiruzen smiling, "You give everyone an affectionate name."
"Ibiki himself." Said Naruto smiling at the elderly man, "He lets me help at the T & I department."
