Naruto woke up to sunlight streaming through white curtains. He blinked his eyes to get adjusted to the brightness. He saw a white tiled ceiling and white curtains. He sat up and looked around. Everything was white: the walls, the floors, the furniture, the sheets. Naruto started to swing his legs over the bed and winced in pain. His entire abdominal section was in pain at the thought of moving. Naruto threw the blankets off and took his shirt off and looked down. His stomach was wrapped in bandages. His forearms were too. Naruto then realized where he was, the Konoha Hospital. Naruto sighed and leaned back. He closed his eyes and started to meditate.

Naruto opened his eyes in the Kyuubi's dojo. He sat down on one of the cushions close to the center ring. He sat there until the Kyuubi decided to show herself. She came into the center of the ring and sat down and stared at Naruto.

"You said you had something to show me if I lived, I lived. What did you want to show me?" Naruto said ambivilantly.

'I wanted to show you something that no-one has seen before. I would have shown my previous jinchuriki's but they died. And in the case of your mother, I was ripped out of her. Please bear with me for a moment,' the Kyuubi said. She then started to focus chakra and a big cloud of white smoke appeared. As the smoke started to dissipate, standing right where the Kyuubi was, there was a woman. She was shorter than Naruto by about an inch with hair as red as the Kyuubi's fur. Her eyes were red and slitted like the Kyuubi's. Her dress was yellow with little pictures of the kyuubi on it. But most notably, she had nine tails waving lazily behind her.

"K-kyuubi?"

'Yes, Naruto. I am the Kyuubi. But that is a label that you humans gave me. My name is Kurama,' she said.

Naruto didn't say anything else. He just gaped at the Kyuubi. She was gorgeous. Her hair was long, almost reaching the base of the tails. Her tails were an orangish-reddish color, her skin was pale and smooth. Naruto walked up to her and stood there looking her up and down.

'Naruto, if you keep looking at that I might get some ideas,' Kurama said blushing a little.

Naruto just looked at her curiously for a moment before understand and laughed, scratching the back of his head with one arm. "Sorry, it's just that I never realized that you were this gorgeous."

Kurama laughed, a melodic sound, and jumped on Naruto giving him a hug. Naruto fell backwards onto the ground with Kurama on top of him. The Kyuubi then rolled off of him, and looked around. 'This place is nice Naruto, but I am a lady. I like stuff that's beautiful and is fun. I'm not all death and destruction and violence.'

Naruto looked around for a moment and then laid back on the ground his arms behind his head and closed his eyes. Without even opening his eyes he could tell that the scenery had shifted around them. There were grass stalks pushing into his hands, there was a light breeze bringing the scent of flowers. There was the sounds of squirrel's fighting in the distance. Close by there was the sound of a brook gurgling its way over rocks. The sun was shining, warming Naruto's skin. Naruto smiled, this was one of his personal visions of the perfect place.

Kurama looked around in wonder. She had traveled the world and never had she seen a place as beautiful as this. This place just bespoke peace and serenity. She continued to look around for a few minutes. Then she threw herself on Naruto hugging him and saying 'Thank you. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!'

Naruto laughed and said your wecolme. Naruto then sat up and watched as Kurama wandered around looking at everything. Naruto smiled. He made someone extremely happy.

The doctor walked in Naruto's room, followed by Hinata. "He's stable but he hasn't woken up yet. There is nothing more we can do for him other than to take care of his wounds," the doctor said.

Hinata nodded and the doctor walked out. She walked to the side of his bed and sat down on the chair. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it. She said softly, "Please wake up Naruto-kun." Hinata sat there for a few hours before she fell asleep.

Naruto opened his eyes and it was dark outside. He noticed that there was someone holding his hand and he looked. It was Hinata. He smiled and gently woke her up. Hinata slowly came to, blinking her eyes a few times to clear the sleep from them before noticing Naruto sitting up looking at her. She jumped on him saying, "Thank goodness, I was scared. You haven't woken up since you were brought here yesterday. I thought your mind was gone."

"Hinata-chan, it's okay. I'm fine, I was just tired from chakra usage. I'll be fine," Naruto said gently. "Besides, I completed my mission."

"Yes you did. Good job on that," Tsunade said walking in. "As soon as your wounds are healed I want you in my office for a debrief."

"Yes ma'am," Naruto said.

"I'm glad I chose to trust you," she said before walking out.

Naruto and Hinata talked late into the night until they fell asleep together, Hinata's head resting on Naruto's chest and Naruto's arm around Hinata's shoulders.

At the cave, the rocks began to move. A man wrapped in a tattered black robe climbed out from underneath the rubble. He laid on the stones and looked up at the full moon. He swore revenge on Naruto for beating him like that. He stood up and limped his way to the closest village. He walked into the hospital and asked for treatment. He then thought of a group he heard about, high level missing-nins from the elemental countries. He formulated a plot to use them to get revenge on Naruto. He then looked at the ceiling and smiled.

Two years later, Naruto walked into Tsunade's office.

"You wanted to see me ba-chan?" he said.

"Yes, I want you to take a genin team this year," Tsunade said.

"But ba-chan, do you think that wise. I mean, two years ago you didn't even trust me enough to let me take a shower alone, now you want me to take on a gening team?"

"Oh? This is a first, Naruto complaining about something to get him further on the road to Hokage. You do want to be hokage right?"

"Of course, you know I do!"

"All hokage must have had at least one genin team. I had one, Sarutobi had one, your father had one. Even the first two had one," Tsunade said.

"Fine, I'll take one. Who's on my team," Naruto sighed.

"Uchiha Lexianna, Hyuga Hanabi, and Inuzuka Kira," Tsunade said.

"Lexianna is Itachi's daughter right?"

"Yes."

"This will be interesting. When do I meet them?"

"Tomorrow at noon in classroom 13-A at the academy."

"Alright, I'm going to go train," Naruto said walking out the door.

Naruto went to find one person that he knew could help him with some of his father's jutsu. He found him walking down the street, nose buried in one of the books that the ero sannin wrote. Naruto muttered something about perverted trash and Kakashi turned around and saw him.

"Hey Naruto, what are you doing?"

"I was looking for you. I wanted your help to train."

"Ah, still can't figure out the Rasengan?"

"Nope, also I wanted to know if you knew how my father did the teleportation jutsu?"

"I know the formulas for it but I don't know how it works in and of itself. Anyway, back to the Rasengan, what do you have so far?"

"Let's go to the training ground and I'll show you."

At the training ground, Naruto put one hand in front and started to whirl his chakra in it. He could make it go in all different directions and he could get it to be powerful. But when he hit the tree with it, it just created a spiral mark instead of putting a hole in it. Kakashi pulled out a plain air balloon the size of a rasengan and tossed it to Naruto.

"Use this. You have to make the chakra go spin in all directions and be powerful but also condensed and controlled. That is what you lack." Naruto continued to practice, eventually going to the market to get more balloons because he kept breaking them.

When the moon was at the top of the sky, Naruto finally had the rasengan complete. He could spin his chakra fast and powerful into the balloon but keep it from popping by condensing the chakra. He rammed the balloon into the tree and it shattered, splinters spreading out behind it like a shotgun blast. The tree fell over making Naruto jump out of the way.

When Naruto finished and Kakashi congratulated him, Kakashi wrote down the formula's for Minato's Flying Thunder God technique. Then Kakashi left, saying he was going to go to sleep. Naruto headed to his father's house, untouched since he died. Naruto went in and up to his father's room. There was a book shelf then on advanced fuinjutsu as well as some scrolls used for notes. Naruto started reading through the scrolls and found the notes on the Flying Thunder God technique.

Naruto read everything in the scrolls and went into his father's closet where the kunai were kept. His father kept two of his special kunai in his closet and then had the seals all over Konoha. Naruto then took the kunai out into the garden and threw it, focusing the chakra like the scroll said and disappeared, reappearing when the struck the wall. Naruto went face first in the wall. Naruto shook his head from side to side to clear it and stood up. He took the kunai from the tree and threw it again, disappearing and reappearing with it, this time catching it before it hit the wall. Naruto, however still flew into the wall due to momentum.

Naruto continued to practice until daybreak, when he was better. Still hitting things but not hard anymore. Then he threw the kunai straight up and teleported to it and caught it. He then threw the Kunai to the ramen stand that was just opening a few blocks away. When the Kunai was about to pass the restaurant, Naruto teleported to it and caught it. He sat down in the stool and ordered a pork miso with extra vegetables as usual. When Naruto finished eating it was almost noon, but Naruto wanted to test the kids patience and so he hid outside the window until every team but his own had been picked up by their sensei's. Naruto then proceeded to wait until they started talking.

Uchiha Lexianna was a quiet girl. She had a different personality than the rest of her clan. They believed that their Sharingan was the path to perfection because it could copy any ninjutsu and taijutsu style, as well as predict where they are going to be. Lexianna believed that it takes hard work and dedication to be strong, not just stealing other's jutsu. She had long dark hair, falling just past her shoulders, and dark eyes. She wore a black shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back of it and some black shorts.

Hyuga Hanabi was so sure that she was the strongest in her class because of her doujutsu, the Byakugan. She had the strongest taijutsu, and her kenjutsu wasn't bad, but her genjutsu and ninjutsu skills were practically nonexistent. Her clan thought that learning any kind of jutsu tainted their perfect Byakugan so therefor it was inferior. She wore a black one piece outfit with short legs and sleeves.

Inuzuka Kira was a loud girl. She was always talking to everyone. She was exceptionally bright, able to come up with strategies for beating opponents while fighting them. She was accompanied by a dog named Luna. Kira and Luna fought together well, utilizing her family's special jutsu's to increase power and speed. She wore blue pants and a white t-shirt with a paw print on the front of it.

Naruto was impressed by the quality of the team he received, but was disappointed to hear that their teamwork skills were severely lacking. They all believed that they could take on anything by themselves and Naruto needed to fix that. Naruto stood up and dusted off his pants before grabbing his father's kunai and throwing it through the window. He teleported to it standing on the teacher's desk with the kunai in his hand. The genin all looked at him in surprise. Naruto put his hand behind his head and smiled wide saying "Hello!"
