A/N: Well, I don't like long author's notes in the beginning, so I'll just say what I gotta say. Ahem... DAMN! My last chapter more than doubled this story's length. I doubt I could do that again. Oh, and in response to , I don't plan on having any of them fall in love with him instantly. What Hinata has is just a combination of hero worship and a childhood crush. And Kogo just has her normal perviness. Now, onto the juicy bits. Harem will be... ah fuck it. You guys know by now. Oh, and jutsu will be in Japanese and translated at the end to English.

Kage Bunshin - Jutsu(I don't think I'll be having NINJAS call out their moves that much though. It will probably be made fun of a lot in this story.).

Bring that ass here. - Extreme anger or demonic speech/thought.

What do fingers taste like? - Thought/Flashback stuff.

WELL GOOD FOR FUCKING YOU! - Emphasized speech or shouting.

Anything in apostrophes, 'blah blah', occurs within the mind, be it mental communication(which will be present) or just plain thoughts.

And any combination from here on out is up to you guys to decipher.

Recap:

Stepping into the room, he closed the door and locked eyes with Hiashi, and they just stared for a bit. Naruto was the one to break the silence. When he did, his voice was even and calm, though still held its childlike tone. "Hello, Hiashi-sama." His child like voice did nothing to lower the oddly tense atmosphere in the room."Hello Naruto-san," Hiashi began before getting up and standing in front of Naruto. Much to Naruto's shock, he bowed before continuing. "Arigato," he said as sincerely as he could. "I'm not sure what would've happened to my daughter otherwise. Your actions are truly appreciated." As he rose from his bow, he met the gawking stare of Naruto. In the silence that followed, he continued. "I will gladly give you some type of recompense. The Hyuuga do not leave a debt unpaid. Even under such... unfortunate circumstances as yours."

And now:

Naruto blinked in surprise, his practiced stoic expression falling for a moment. Recovering, he looked him dead in the eyes before responding. "I'm not sure what you're talking about, Hiashi-sama."

Looking somewhat amused, Hiashi just stared at Naruto for a moment before continuing. "I'm sure you do. No ninja in their right mind would train a container that didn't know of their burden. You're getting instruction from a retired anbu black-ops member. Just about every adult knows of your burden, and everyone with the rank of Elite-Jonin, Clan Head, and Anbu is required to be well informed about things of such importance. Unfortunately, this puts me in a delicate situation, Uzumaki-san. I'm sure you've been taught by your sensei that you are very valuable to this village, military wise. If I were to really do anything to you, good or bad, then I'd be put in the spotlight even more than I already am."

Nodding his head, Naruto responded, "I understand, Hiashi-sama. Personally, I don't really require anything. I make enough money for what I want, I am satisfied with my training, and I am happy living where I am, as odd as that may sound."

Now it was Hiashi's turn to be surprised, though it didn't show through his practiced visage of stoicism. Sating his curiosity, he asked, "And where exactly do you live, Uzumaki-san?" Cursing mentally at himself, he answered, albeit with some reluctance, "In... the Redlight District."

This time, Hiashi's surprise did show. His eyes widened noticeably, and his eyebrows rose half an inch, which is a lot for him. Composing himself, he gave his response to that. "I mean no disrespect, Naruto-san, but how are you happy there?"

Here, Naruto leaked a bit of anger through his own stoic mask. "Because they treat me better than just about anyone else in the village. They may not like me too much, but they give me the respect of a normal human being. When I walk out the door, the first thing I get isn't a scalding remark like "Oh, you woke up today? How unfortunate." or anything like I'd get almost anywhere else in this village. They acknowledge my existence and sell me things fairly. As long as I pay for myself like everyone else, I am treated like everyone else, even if I can see that some of them still don't necessarily like me."

Having said his piece, he waited for Hiashi to respond, though he was oddly silent, looking off into space as he was consumed by his own thoughts. 'He feels more at home in the company of prostitutes and drug dealers than that of a normal merchant or other children. This child knows how cruel people can be, and he has never set foot out of his home village. Our home village. How far have we fallen, Shodai-sama? He is no different from your wife, and yet, we hate him as if he is what he holds. Minato, I hope you don't kick my ass too hard when I die, for I know I deserve at least something for letting your son suffer this much.'

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he focused upon Naruto once more. Steeling his resolve, he prepared to do what his wife would: be nice. Sighing, he finally responded to the child in front of him. "Well... I would feel bad if you received nothing. Would you like to stay the night, at the very least?" Naruto was shocked; apparently, Hiashi was as different from a normal Hyuuga as his daughter was.

Deciding it would be rude to not accept, he did exactly that, and accepted. Bowing, he said, "That would be greatly appreciated Hiashi-sama. I am in your care for the night."

Kogo chose now to butt in. While he was getting up from the bow, she said, 'You know, this is the perfect chance for you to get with that Hyuuga girl.'

'Well, that would be taking advantage of her and her family's hospitality. Oh, and WE'RE ONLY FUCKING FIVE!'

'Not mentally you aren't. In your mindscape, you pop up as 13 or 14, maybe even 15. I'm sure she's matured a lot too, being groomed to be a clan heir and all.'

'This conversation is over Kogo-chan.' She just laughed at his dismissal.

Pulling his attention away from the laughing Bijuu in his head, he focused on Hiashi, who was about to continue. "Good, good. Well, I'll let you and Hinata play for a while, but she must be in bed by nine, and that's in 20 minutes. You may go to sleep whenever you feel so inclined. Just let me know when you are ready, and I'll have Ko-san show you to you're room. I'll probably be in here all night... again," he said, grumbling the last part, all the while experiencing the expected thoughts. 'Fucking paper work'

Naruto chuckled, and decided to enlighten him. "Ya know, there is a very easy solution to paperwork, Hiashi-sama." At this, Hiashi snapped his head up, Byakugan blazing in order to detect whether or not he was lying. Continuing on, he said two words that made Hiashi feel really dumb. "Kage Bunshin." Hiashi was very silent for a moment before putting his hands to his face and letting out a very large sigh.

Pulling himself out of his stupor, he got up and bowed to Naruto. "I owe you one, no ten, Naruto-sama. I can now actually spend time with my family, and get even more work done than before. You may stay for as long as you wish, and remember, the Hyuuga will be on your side for as long as I remain clan head."

Naruto gave him a deadpan stare at that. 'I would've thought he'd have already thought of that and just found some flaw. Wow. Well, no reason for looking a gift horse in the mouth!' Shaking his head in amusement, Naruto responded, "Well, I might just take you up on that, Hiashi-sama. I have been pestering my sensei to learn the Shunshin no jutsu for a while, so you could teach me that."

Nodding his head rapidly, an actual smile on his face, Hiashi responded passionately. "Done. I'll get you a scroll with the instructions tomorrow."

Happy at the thought of rubbing it in Haitatsu's face that he'd learnt the jutsu without her, he said, "Well, Hiashi-sama, is there anything else of importance?" Now Hiashi thought for a second before his eyes widened.

Composing himself, he asked Naruto, "What do you know of your parents, Naruto-kun." Ignoring the change in honorifics, Naruto decided to tell the truth, addressing Hiashi in kind. "I know of both of them, Hiashi-san."

Once more, Hiashi's surprise showed. Regaining his composure for the umpteenth time that night, he nodded and just said, "I won't ask how; you're entitled to your secrets. I am glad you trust me enough to tell me, even with the very real danger of me informing Hokage-sama." When he saw Naruto's eyes widen, he chuckled. "You didn't even think of that did you? Oh well, it's not as if it matters anyway. And, thank's to clones, I'll be going to sleep, so just ask Ko-san when you are ready to turn in for the night."

Getting up from his desk, he went to the door and opened it to find Hinata chatting with Ko about something he didn't bother to listen in on. Clearing his throat, he got their attention and went on to say, "We're done. I'm going to check on my wife before turning in for the night, Ko-san. Keep an eye on them both for me." With that, he away walked from the entrance of his office, revealing a grinning Naruto.

Walking out of the office, Naruto put his arm around Hinata before cheering. "Woo! Sleepover!" Hinata smiled at that, giving her own, much softer cheer. Ko just looked on with a small smile.

While this was going on, Kogo commented, 'You are rather open right now. I haven't even seen you smile around anyone other than me, Haitatsu, and the Ichiraku's in a long time.'

'Well, I can feel these guys don't want to hurt me. I haven't recalled my chakra since I fought the boys, and, while it's a bit tiring, I can get a general good or bad feeling from people.'

Now Kogo was surprised. 'I'd have thought it would've taken you a bit longer to notice that.'

'WHY DON'T YOU JUST TEACH ME THESE THINGS!'

'You wouldn't gain as much if I just told you. Duh.'

Mentally grumbling about "stupid demonesses", he took his body off auto pilot and took his hand of Hinata's shoulder. Looking around, he asked, "What do you guys have to do around here?"

At that, Hinata had to think. "Well, I never really had much to do. I go on walks through the village with Ko-san pretty often, but I don't do much here but train and tend to the garden with Kaa-chan."

Furrowing his brow, Naruto thought long and hard before saying, "Well, I got nothing else to do. How about you show me the garden?" At this, he paused, before a devious smile broke out on his face. "50 ryo(A/N: about $4.25 in American money) says I can get there before you." Thinking she had it in the bag, since it was her house, she agreed. "Okay, then, Hinata-chan. It's a race."

Kogo started laughing in his head at that point. 'Wow, Naru-kun. You are so mean. There's no way for her to know you already know the layout of this building.'

'That's why it's fun. And I won't actually take the money. I just wanna see her face when I get there before her.'

Ko's voice broke him from his internal conversation. "It's rather late, so I'll wait in the garden with a lamp. Make sure you get there, both of you." Nodding, they both went to a door way and waited for Ko to be out of sight.

Giving him a few seconds, the looked at each other before, by unspoken consent, they began to count down. "3...2...1...GO!" They both went off, Naruto slowing himself down so Hinata could keep up in her kimono. Suddenly, Naruto took a left, going down a hallway that she remembered lead to a dead end. Smiling at the fact she'd win, Hinata pushed herself to go faster.

Naruto, on the other hand, got to the dead end but opened the window at the end of the pathway and jumped out, going to the roof and heading to the garden in the back. Reaching the end, Naruto dropped down, seemingly falling out of the sky for Ko, who was staring at the entrance to the garden, waiting for them. Jumping at his sudden appearance, he stumbled backwards, though he didn't fall.

As Naruto was laughing, he composed himself and asked, "How did you get here so fast?"

In response, Naruto just said, "Wait for Hinata. I hate repeating myself." Not 10 seconds later, Hinata came into the garden, panting a bit. Looking around for a second, she was shocked to find Naruto there. Before her.

In her normally soft voice, she asked, "H-how did you get here b-before me, Naruto-kun?" Ko listened closely, curious about just that.

Crossing his arms over his chest and closing his eyes, Naruto, in his best "wise old man" voice, said one word. "Magic." At that, Ko face-planted and Hinata sweat-dropped.

Getting up to Naruto's laughter, Ko glared at Naruto before asking him again. "Okay, how did you REALLY get here so fast?"

Naruto looked at him with his best innocent face, which was pretty good, and said, "You don't believe me, Ko-san." Receiving a deadpan stare in response, he chuckled a bit before responding. "Fine, fine. I took the roof." Now Ko was impressed, and so was Hinata.

Snapping them back to attention, he asked, "Weren't you gonna show me your garden, Hinata-chan. I'd say you have about six to seven minutes before your bedtime." Nodding at the reminder, she went about showing Naruto the garden she and her mother tended to.

She went on and on, and before they noticed it, she'd spent over half an hour just talking to Naruto about the garden. While she was explaining the meaning behind the Amaririsu(A/N: Amaryllis in English) Naruto looked up at the sky, seeing how high the moon had gotten. "T-this one is my favorites. It m-means shy, a-and Kaa-chan always said I w-was a bit shy. I g-guess I ju-"

Naruto cut her off there, though he tried not to be rude. "Uh, Hina-chan, I think it's gotten a bit late." Looking back, they saw that Ko had fallen asleep on a stump on the other side of the garden, and Naruto got an idea. "Uh, Hinata, do you have any whipped cream?" At her nod, he smiled. "Good, I am going to introduce you to the wonderful world of pranks, and teach Ko not to fall asleep on the job at the same time. Go get that, and maybe a marker while you're at it, and I'll search for a feather near the trees. Oh, and make sure it's a permanent marker." Hinata wasn't too sure about doing it, and voiced it but all she got in return was "Don't worry about it. I got most of your clan with a big one a while back, and I was fine. This one is very tiny in comparison." Her fears abated, she went ahead and got the stuff while Naruto searched around the trees for a feather.

Two minutes later, they were both done with their part and reconvened at Ko's sleeping form. "Okay. Now," began Naruto, "the first thing we do is draw on his face. You can do anything you want. I'll even let you go first." Gesturing at Ko with an exaggerated motion, Naruto stepped aside. Hinata rolled her eyes before thinking for a moment.

After choosing a design, she drew a flower around Ko's right eye, adding sparkles for emphasis. Naruto looked on, impressed. "You seem to have a talent for this."

Blushing, she responded. "A-arigato, Naruto-kun."

Naruto thought for a moment on his choice, before deciding to go old school. Holding out his hand to Hinata, he said, "It's time for the pro to show exactly how this is supposed to go." He put his signature whisker marks on Ko's face before adding something completely necessary: a dick near his mouth. Stepping back, he admired it before deciding it was missing something. Adding a few squirts of jizz flying out of the tip, he stepped away, completely satisfied with himself. "Tada!" he said, moving from in front of Ko and showcasing his work to Hinata. She began to blush the moment she recognized it, but giggled none the less. "And now," began Naruto, "gimme the whip cream."

Receiving it from her, he went on to explain the prank while putting whip creme on his hands. "We'll cover his hands in whipped cream, and when one of us tickles his nose with the feather, he'll move his hands to brush away whatever is there, thus smearing whipped cream all over his face." At this point he finished covering Ko's hands with whipped cream. "I'm not sure which hand he'll use, so I did both. Regardless, when he goes and washes it off in the bathroom, he'll see the drawings. When he tries to wash them off, he'll find that they're in permanent marker. From what I can tell, he'll put us both in our rooms before going to the bathroom, so listen out for his reaction to the drawings, but pretend you're sleeping for a few minutes afterward, or just go to sleep."

Plan set, Naruto decided that Hinata could be the one to tickle his nose. Handing her the feather, he contacted Kogo. 'I know you've been watching Kogo-chan, but I think you should make sure you have some popcorn ready for this.'

At this, Kogo giggled before responding. 'Way ahead of you Naruto-kun. Besides, this is my mind... your mind... our mind? Fuck it, all I know is that I can make things like popcorn just pop up.'

Nodding at her assessment of the whole shared mind/body situation, he focused on Hinata. Before she could do it, Naruto remembered something. "Wait!" Hinata's head snapped towards him. "Do you have a camera?"

Giving him a deadpan stare, she said, "Y-yes. But shouldn't w-we hurry up before h-he wakes up?" Nodding, Naruto responded. "And that is exactly why we need a camera." Seeing her confused look, he elaborated. "He is never going to let this happen again. The moment he wakes up, we're done, at least for the whipped cream. This being your first time... hehehe... I want it to be memorable." Hinata actually managed to suppress her blush and nodded. Running off as fast as her Kimono covered legs could carry her, she went off to get the camera."

Meanwhile, in his head, Kogo was a bit annoyed. 'You're delaying on purpose, aren't you?'

'Well, think of it as a bit of revenge for the comment about me screwing my newest friend. At five.'

Sighing, Kogo nodded, not that he could see it. 'It IS a bit fair... I'm still gonna get him back though.' Staying silent, she let that be her response.

At that moment, Naruto felt Hinata enter again. "Good, good. Now go do it. I'll be taking a picture. Make sure you don't do it too much. Tickle a little, then back off, then tickle some more, then back off. Do this until he brings one of his hands up. Actually, fuck it; I'm taking a video." Hinata nodded, a bit camera shy. As Naruto started and gave her the thumbs up, she did exactly as instructed. Tickling his nose a bit, she waited for him to stir before backing off. Going back for more, she did this until his right hand came up to swat away whatever was under his nose, inadvertently swearing the whipped cream on his hand all over the lower part of his face. Waking with a start, Ko came to to the sight of Naruto laughing his ass off on the ground while Hinata had her hand in front of her mouth, trying to hold back her laughter... and failing.

It was then that Ko noticed the feeling of whipped cream on his face and both hands. He looked at his hands to confirm before his head snapped to Naruto, and he glared, byakugan activated. He was about to storm over to him when he noticed Hinata breaking down in laughter in front of him.

Smiling at the scene, he decided to let bygones be bygones and even found the scene rather amusing as well. Letting out a chuckle, he rolled up his traditionally long and baggy Hyuuga sleeves to look at his watch. Seeing the time, his eyes bugged out. Cursing to himself, he made his way over to them both before clearing his throat.

As they both stopped laughing, they looked up at him and were about to breakdown again. Stopping them in their tracks, he said, "Sorry to ruin your fun, but it's far past your bed time Hinata-sama. Hiashi-sama will have my head if he notices that you're too tired tomorrow." 'And that's only if your mother is busy.' Holding out his hands, he pulled the laughing children off the ground, and lead them to their rooms. Arriving there, he missed the wink Naruto gave Hinata and the mouthing of "Listen for it" and just went to his room after making sure they were both in bed.

As Naruto sat in his bed for the night, he contacted Kogo. 'I give him two minutes before he screams.'

Scoffing, she replied sarcastically.'Well don't you have a high opinion of him. He's a fucking jonin, at least from his chakra, and he's tired. He probably just shunshin-ed to his room.' Nodding at the logic, he reviewed his earlier assessment. 'Fine, half a minute, a minute tops. He still has to go into the bathroom; I doubt he has a mirro-' He was cut off as he heard a scream of "NARUTO!" ring through the building. Both of them were silent for a bit before Naruto went into his mind, after letting his body go limp on the bed.

MindScape

Appearing in his mind, specifically Kogo's house, naked as per usual, he let out his pent up laughter. Kogo was right there with him, laying across the couch in her mind-house and laughing away. As they both came down from their laughing high, Naruto asked her something. "So, what are we gonna do tonight?"

Feeling rather mischievous , she responded. "We can do anything you want, Naruto-kun."

With a mutter of "Ero-bijuu", he thought about what to actually do. Coming to a decision, he asked, "Is there anything else you can tell me about the seal? I think I'll understand it better now, since Haitatsu-baa-chan started me on intermediate fuinjutsu a while back, and I'd say I'm pretty far along."

Nodding her head, she thought for a moment on where to start. Choosing a spot, she began. "Well, when I was sealed, your beloved tou-san," at this, Naruto growled a bit, "split me in half, literally. With the help of the motherfucking Shinigami, which I still think was overkill, he ripped my yin half from my yang. I am actually the yang, while my other half, the yin, is currently held within your father. Due to the seal he used, applying the Hakke no Fuin Shiki to the Shiki Fujin, both you and he have a version of me in your body that is now fueling you. He is supposed to be in the Shinigami's stomach at the moment, or at least his soul is supposed to be, but that can't be true because the seal you and he bear is powered by your respective souls. I've been examining the current seal on you, and it seems that he sealed away a bit of both his and your mothers soul into you, though my access to them is blocked. It's set to go off as a fail-safe if you ever seek to release the seal holding me here."

At this point, she paused both to collect her thoughts and let the information sink in for him. After a second or two of silense, she continued. "Now, if you manage to find your father's body, you'll probably find less than half of his soul stuck within his own mind while his body is just about dead. Not completely, since the life force of the other me is being drawn in from nature and drawn into him in an infinite loop, but the body hasn't moved, and probably hasn't seen sunlight in a very long time. Your father is most likely alive, if just barely, to power the seal he bears." Having said her piece, she waits for him to respond.

Naruto, on the other hand, looked at the ground for a long time before looking up at her. His eyes were slits, but she felt no extra drain on her youki. When he spoke, despite the anger visible in his eyes, his voice was calm. "Is there a way for you to get back your power?"

Relieved that Naruto hadn't lost control at the fact that his father was still, technically, alive, she responded. "You should learn some more fuinjutsu first. The Shiki Fujin isn't something you should tamper with until you are able to understand it fully. Until then, get as good at controlling your chakra as possible; it will end up spiking considerably if I manage to get my power back, though I'll still probably be a girl thanks to the Shinigami. Fucking Shinigami, making all this bullshit permanent." She muttered the last part under her breath, though Naruto still heard her.

Chuckling at her dislike for the deity, he asked, "Is there anything we could train in right now?"

Smiling maliciously, she gave him a response he was dreading without knowing it. "Obstacle course. You managed to pass the first one in a single night, so I'm sure you'll do fine." As he paled, he made his way to the back, knowing that there was no use in resisting.

Real World- Next Morning

As he opened his eyes, Naruto was extremely glad that injuries in his head didn't carry over to his body. Pulling himself out of bed, he went to say bye to Hinata before he remembered he had the day off. As he was about to cheer out loud, he covered his mouth, remembering that he naturally woke up rather early at this point. He also noticed that his chakra had receded into his body sometime in the middle of the night. 'I probably just need to get it to the point it's second nature to me.'

Opening his door, he extended his chakra once more, allowing a mental image of the area he was in to form before he made his way towards the place he remembered Hiashi's office being. As he arrived, he was met with the sight of five Hiashis working on different stacks of paper as one of them sat in a chair, relaxing with a smile on his face.

When he set foot in the room, Hiashi opened his eyes, greeting him. "Good morning, Naruto-kun." Nodding, Naruto opened his mouth to say something when he was forced to catch a scroll. Looking at what he had caught, he saw that it was a scroll with a name on it. '

Shunshin no Jutsu eh?' After mentally reading it to himself, he looked up at Hiashi and said, "Thanks. So, how are you enjoying your free time, Hyuuga-sama?" At this, Hiashi just waved him off. "Please, just call me Hiashi. You saved my daughter, saved me from paper work, and gave me ample time to spend with my family all in one day, probably even saving my marriage. If anything, I should be calling you Naruto-sama right now."

Hiashi chuckled at Naruto's shocked look before continuing. "To answer your question though, I'm actually just a clone. The real me is sleeping in right now. Only a few people are actually awake at the moment; it is a holiday after all." When Naruto looked confused, he laughed lightly. "Don't tell me you forgot? Today is in remembrance of the battle between Shodai-sama and Madara-sama." At this Naruto gained a look of understanding.

"Well," Naruto began, "I'm gonna go practice this new jutsu. Do you guys have any training fields I could use?" Hiashi nodded before giving Naruto directions.

Before he left, Hiashi stopped him, saying, "I'll send Ko to fetch you for breakfast, Naruto. I want you to meet my wife and newest daughter before you go." Nodding, Naruto proceeded to follow HIashi's direction to the training area.

Arriving at his destination, he opened the scroll and read it about three times to make sure he had it memorized. Feeling as if he did this to a satisfactory degree, he made 60 clones. As he watched the clones begin to practice, he contacted Kogo. 'I feel like such a cheat when I do this Kogo-chan.'

'Well, it kind of is. You accumulate experience in a jutsu many times faster than anybody else. Most jonin can't train this way, yet your not even in the academy yet. Speaking of which, I know your plan is to join at six, fail twice, then graduate at the last possible year, twelve, as the dead-last, but I wanna know one thing: why don't you just join the academy when your eight? There are only four years of classes, you know.' Having asked her question, she waited for Naruto to answer.

Sighing, he responded. 'Well, Ko-tan,' hearing that, Kogo growled slightly before quieting down down, her curiosity outweighing her dislike for that nickname. 'I WANT to be underestimated. By a lot. If I fail for two whole years before barely making it out on my final try, then people won't expect ANY of what I can do. If I just went straight to rookie of the year, then any who knew of my status would consider me a threat. And I know that other villages have spies here, leaking info. It's the case for all hidden villages. If I am the dead last who failed twice previously, then no one will pay attention to me, at least not considering me a threat.'

'Well, why don't you, I don't know, go on a training trip? Kushi-chan had gone on a couple, and came back much stronger. Besides, you have the Hyuuga backing you, if the Hokage even needs permission from the counsel to let you leave. Then come back and graduate as the dead-last.'

Thinking on it for a second, he responded. 'That's not a bad idea Ko-chan. I could get familiar with some other countries before I have to do missions there as a shinobi. I think I should try to finish up working off Haitatsu-baa-chan's debt before I go though. Who knows what could happen to her if I just left.' At that, Kogo agreed.

They were silent for a while, Naruto meditating while extending his chakra, both processing received memories faster and trying to extend his range as much as possible, though wanting to do it without clones for a while. He suddenly had an idea. 'Oi, Kogo-chan!,' he called, getting the attention of the probably napping bijuu, 'Maybe I could try learning how to solidify my chakra today. A chakra shunshin would look pretty badass to me.'

'Sure. Better than just sitting around while your clones do all the work.'

'Speaking of which, there are only two left. I feel like I'm good enough at the jutsu, though it's limits are stupid. Needing to know EXACTLY where you are going.'

Kogo giggled at his dislikes for techniques limitations. 'Once you get better with knowing your surroundings by chakra, you'll know your surroundings, and once your reserves are big enough, they'll be able to stretch across an indefinite length. You don't get to complain. The only draw back, both now and in the future, is that it's not instant, but it's still pretty damn fast. Besides, when your control is good enough, I'll teach you how to get around like I used to, and that shit was instant. Now, onto solidifying your chakra.'

At this Naruto began to pay rapt attention. 'You already know how to saturate the air with your chakra. Now, you just need to condense it. For a normal person, they would need to have an insane amount of chakra in the air to even be able to create a pebble, but your chakra is potent enough, DENSE enough, that you will just need to learn control. Changing the density of one's energies is the basis for all yin release, which is used to give form to nothing, to create something when there is nothing physical to create it from. Anything you can envision and understand, you can create. Now, focus on the chakra you have in the air.'

Doing as he was told, he focused on it and awaited further instruction. 'Now, try to bring as much of it into one area as you can, but be careful; the more chakra you bring into one area, the more dense your creation will be. You still need to pull a rather large amount; your chakra is dense enough that it can interact with your surroundings without being fully solidified,so you need to pull more than you would think. Now, the denser it is, the more mass is stuffed in the space you choose for the object. The more mass, the harder gravity will be pulling on it. It'll look and feel however you want it to, it'll be just as sharp or dull as your envision, hell, it'll even be whatever material you want it to be, but it might just fall to, or even into, the ground and be too heavy for you to wield right now.' Taking her warning to heart, he tried drawing chakra together.

He only pulled a fourth of what he had within a foot around him into the space directly in front of him, choosing the form of a unfurled fuma shuriken. Trying to keep the chakra dispersed evenly in the shuriken, he began to pull it together, attempting to solidify it. After a few seconds, he created one, though it was all black. Grabbing it, he compared it's weight to the fuma shuriken he had practiced with when training with Haitatsu. 'It's a bit heavier than I intended, but the weight is even all the way through.'

Kogo nodded at his assessment, though he couldn't see it, but asked 'Is the sharpness of the blade up to par?' Unsure, he checked the old fashioned way. Bringing the tip to his palm, he pulled with a small amount of strength. A trail of blood appeared, though the wound was already healing.

In the second it took him to return it to the ground and contact Kogo again, there wasn't even a wound anymore. 'Well, it cuts pretty well. I'll just create some more clones and have them practice that. The concept is rather simple, I just need to learn the correct amounts for a certain density.'

'You should also start reading some anatomy books. I said you could create life before, but even if you choose to stay out of playing god, and I wouldn't blame you, you can still heal just about anything in a persons body, once you understand how it works.'

Nodding, he responded. 'I feel like a serious cheat for doing this, but I'll just have a clone get into the library as Haiso and check out some books. I'll make a bunch of clones read it multiple times and dispel while I'm either in my mind for the night or asleep. Actually, I'll send one to get them now, and a few at my home to read.' He created a seal-less shadow clone to accomplish the task before continuing. 'I'd prefer to learn how to feel, refill on, and manipulate natural energy, if you think I'm ready.'

Kogo had to think for a bit. 'I know he is good, but I'm not sure if he can handle all the power. It's very easy to lose yourself to this power. Hmm... Well, I can just force it out of his system, if worse come to worst.'

Finally giving a response, she told him, 'Sure. But I have to warn you, this power is no joke. This will take at least a year to master to a sufficient degree, and will boost your everything while your tapped into it, especially your sensing range. You have to truly learn to control you're anger, because if you use it in the village, you'll fell ALL of the hatred in them that is directed at you, even if it is not brought to the surface at the moment. And let me tell you, it's not a small amount. If you even start to go on a rampage, I will force it out of your system, and it WILL be painful. Extremely painful.' Naruto agreed before asking, 'Where do we start?'

Beginning what was sure to be a long explanation, she said, 'Well, your going to need to attune yourself with nature first. This will be the easiest part for you, though this will be one of the parts I won't let you use shadow clones; this is going to feel and BE very intimate, so this should be you. With your chakra saturating the air, you are already close with nature. Just focus on the area at the edge of your range, where your energies taper off and nature's resumes dominance in your surroundings. Just feel for a while.' Taking Kogo's advice, he just felt for a while. He sat there for the better part of an hour, just letting the feeling of nature's energy come to him, even when he did manage to find it.

He felt connected with life. He felt the death of an insect on the edge of a leaf in the training ground. He felt the birth of a rabbit in a burrow under a tree's roots a few feet away from him. He felt the curiosity of the very birds as they stared at him, thinking with primitive but functional sentience. He felt himself, and his own place within the flow. He felt his own energy in relation to that of all the living things around him, mixing and intermingling directly with them and the earth itself.

As he opened his eyes, he said aloud, "Wow."

In his head, Kogo nodded. 'That was my first response as well. As powerful as it is, you must never mistake this power as yours, Naruto-kun. The world can sense your greed, your anger, and it will either try and soothe you, or attempt to erase a part of you. Now, ask for the power, and you shall receive it. Keep in mind, this will be more than just gaining a power up, Naruto-kun. You will be making a sort of pact with nature. Even if you transcend into the realm of the supernatural, you may never facilitate something that is unnatural, something that goes against the order of the world, for example: forcefully overruling a beings natural rights and altering their being on a basic level against their will, modifying their bodies in grotesque ways to fit your own agenda. I know you don't believe you'd ever do this, and neither do I, but power corrupts Naruto-kun. You haven't built up to the level of power you are about to receive on your own; it's going to be a privilege, one that must never be abused.' Naruto nodded, accepting the responsibilities that went with the power he was attempting to harness.

'Now, to actually begin to harness this power, you have to achieve integration and understanding of the flow of nature. Just allow your chakra to saturate the air fully, pushing out as much as you can, and, again, feel for the point where your energies taper off and nature's become dominant once more. Slowly move outward from there, feeling out every change in concentration until you find yourself immersed in energy that is not your own. Then, attempt to understand what you will be feeling. The best way to begin understanding is to describe it to yourself. From then, you are on your own.' Naruto nodded once more, and chose to move to the garden. He made some clones and ordered them to practice every jutsu he had below B-Rank at least twice, before moving on to chakra control with what they had left. Using his newly learnt Shunshin no Jutsu, he moved to the garden that Hinata had shown him last night.

Appearing there, he chose a rather shady spot under a nice, relatively large momiji tree. Getting back into his meditative stance, he pushed his mind to the furthest reaches of his sensing range once more, before slowly leaving his own chakra behind and exploring, well, everything. He felt out the energy of the momiji tree right behind him. It's energy was strong and gave a sturdy feeling, making him feel rather secure under it's branches. He searched around the garden, finding insects and small animals, feeling their connection with nature, as it was naturally stronger than his.

He found a squirel and focused on it, getting a good feeling of its mind set. He felt the hunger that it was experiencing at the moment, the need to survive in its mind. He went as far as to nudge it in the direction of some nuts he had brushed over previously, before leaving it to its own devices once more. Going out as far as the Hyuuga compound, he tried to find a person. He found one, and noticed that, at first encounter, the person felt rather similar to Ko. As he delved further, he noticed that the person was distinctly more feminine, possessing more grace in her very being than the sturdiness of rock that most Hyuuga's seemed to possess, and was on the move.

Focusing on her, he found that there were actually two people, though the one he had not previously felt was very similar and much, much smaller. He inferred that the chakra must belong to a daughter, a baby really. He then noticed their similarity to Hinata's chakra. Though he "saw" all of this from a detached point of view, he still was able to retain enough of his normal personality in his current state to think 'Ah, so this is Hina-chan's mom and baby sister.'

As they entered the field of his own chakra, he was able to bring a full picture of them into his mind, as his ability with natural energy sensing was not yet very good. He noticed that expressed some feeling of accomplishment at finding him, as if he was one she was searching for.

Seeing as he was about to be interrupted, he chose to end his little escapade with nature there. As he attempted to pull his mind back to his own body, he found some difficulty. It was as if his very being wanted to remain connected with nature on such a personal level. After a few seconds, he managed to pull himself back into his normal state of being, though he felt rather enclosed as he did.

Attempting to alleviate the feeling, he kept his own chakra stretched to it's limit, which worked a bit. Before opening his eyes to address the approaching Hyuuga matriarch, he contacted Kogo. 'That was... amazing Kogo-chan. Once I managed to get outside of my own chakra, everything felt so... connected, complete even. I when Hinata's mom and sister got in my range, I could feel them inside and out, even their clothes became clear. I could feel the sun's rays being absorbed by the plants, being converted into more energy that all the plants just seemed to radiate. Every bug, every little animal, they all felt like an extremely bright light, and as they entered my range, it was like the glare was being removed from a picture, and everything became clearer.'

'That is only the tip of the iceberg, Naruto-kun. The deeper you manage to immerse yourself, the more you will feel. Air has it's own energy, light does too. Eventually, you won't even really need your eyes; you'll be able to sense colors too. You have a long journey ahead of you. Next time, I'll teach you how to tap into the vast amount of energy you were feeling, but for now, you have a visitor, and she's been waiting patiently for you to come out of this trance.'

Nodding, Naruto addresses the Hyuuga matriarch before opening his eyes, surprising her with both his lack of "sight" and his voice, which seemed to be... ageless, at that moment. "Hello, Hyuuga-sama," he began, opening his eyes and turning to her in one fluid motion. "I'm sure you know my name, but I'll introduce myself regardless. I am Uzumaki Naruto. Nice to meet you miss..."

As he trailed off, he waited for her to fill in the blank he left for her name. Smiling at the boy, she gave her name. "Kosen, Hyuuga Kosen, though you can just call me Kosen."

Nodding, Naruto responded with a smile. "Well, It is nice to finally meet Hinata-chan's mother, Kosen-san."

At this she got up. "I am sure it is, but breakfast is being prepared, and I came to get you. But first, I must say one thing." Before Naruto could get up, she bowed to him, saying, "Arigato, Naruto-san" By now, Naruto had broken out of the nature induced stupor and was back to his normal self, and with that, the bow was making him a bit uncomfortable.

"Ah, don't bow to me Kosen-san. I was just following my own form of justice. Oh, and please drop the -san. It makes me feel... old." With a more childlike personality back in place, he got up and put his hands behind his head, grinning. "So, how is little Hanabi-chan." Seeing her confused look, he said, "Hinata-chan told me about her when we were talking yesterday."

Nodding in understanding, she smiled down at the bundle in her arms. Bending over slightly, she said, "Why don't you ask her yourself?" Naruto jumped up and peered into Hanabi's face. As he saw her curious eyes, he smiled before tickling her neck. "Well, how are you, Hanabi-chan?" As she giggled, she grabbed his finger, beginning to play with it.

As he pulled his finger back, smile fading a bit, he asked, "So, how about we go meet up with your family? I was getting kinda hungry out here." With that, they made their way to the dining area, where Hinata, Hiashi, and some other main branch members were waiting for them.

A/N: Well, that's that. The chapter had a lot more... happiness in it than I would normally be writing, but this builds up to something else I have planned. He won't be as happy as he is for long; I do plan on making this a grey/dark Naruto story, so shit will have to hit the fan at some point or another. Also, I recommend you guys pay attention to the dates. It is currently June 28th, and the Uchiha Clan Massacre happened when Sasuke was six, and his sixth birthday is on the 27th of July, which is approaching, and I have some plot changing shit planned for that. On another note, I won't do every day of their lives, but I do have a progression of events planned out... sorta. To be honest with you, I just make up most of the specifics as I go. Also, I've been trying to choose names that reflect parts of the personality of characters, if you didn't notice. Haiso is delivery, which is what he's been doing, Haitatsu is derived from the japanese term for postman, since she works in the post office, I took Shido's name from part of the word for leader, since he's the boss of the yakuza there, Kosen means ray of light, and she'll be a bright but serene person, and I have more for the gender bent characters. Now, onto the Harem, which is always the most important part of these.

Any girls you like that I left out? Review, and recommend her! Anything about the story you don't like or I forgot? Let me know and I'll respond! Speaking of responses, to , I won't make them fall in love upon seeing him. I hate that. A relationship takes some time to grow, normally at least, and to StackerWlf, I needed the human trafficking as a later plot device. Regardless, READ AND REVIEW! Thanks for taking the time to read this.
