Sorry guys if you don't understand. Yoshi Red is a character made by me just in case I had plot holes in the story that needed answering or convenient ways to get things done. For instance, if I want Naruto to learn a new jutsu, but nothing else makes sense, I could just say that Yoshi taught it to him. He's more of a failsafe than anything, but I don't plan to be using him so this is probably the only time you'll see him other than times I just want him in there. Comments like these are loved though. Also thanks to Rose Tiger again, for the constant comments. You guys seriously rock, I would site you all again but I'm exhausted from homework… Please comment guys and I promise I'll do it next time…

Don't Own Naruto, but the story below is mine

Without further ado…

Chapter 4: A New Spin

Naruto was sitting on a branch outside the academy. He had been running all day crying, never staying in one place for long. He didn't want to let the villagers get the satisfaction of seeing him broken. As he was halfway to the Forest of Death, he was met with an unexpected figure…

Flashback No Jutsu

Naruto had been running for five minutes straight, which meant a very long track record for a ninja. To almost all he was just a speeding orange blur, but one man was able to grab him by the collar. Naruto started to struggle, but he stopped as he looked into the powerful eyes of the man who grabbed him. The man looked around him, and at the villagers who seemed to always be yelling "kill him", even when Naruto was nowhere around. One threw a kunai at his feet, presumably to use to kill him. He kicked it back however. He threw Naruto at a blinding speed through the door into the estate that which he owned. He proceeded to drag him through the house, where he received some stares from the people who lived there, although most of them were at the boy he was dragging. As he walked into his private study, he loosened his grip and let him go, before sitting down and facing him, his figure imposing. Naruto straightened up and did the same.

"So, what did you drag me for Hyuuga-san?"

Hiashi winced at the improper honorific, but smiled… or at least remained stoic through it anyway, "My apologies Naruto-kun, but I had to make sure that I keep up my appearances. I would rather enjoy helping you change the views of the village, but for now I do not see it going well. For the sake of my plan you have to bear through it. I would happily assist you in any way, but if that is to be so then I would need my power and respect on the council to remain intact, something rather impossible to do if the civilian council finds out that I've been helping you."

Naruto, while a knucklehead, knew what Hiashi was talking about. He hated it but Hiashi had a point. He went over millions of other ways to get him a little more accepted within the village, but all of them were rejected, with good reason. Hiashi's plan was the only way. Over the time they got to know each other, Naruto and Hiashi managed to get along well. He had even taught Naruto a few jutsus and gentle fist techniques, keeping it a secret from the clan. They studied a lot in Hiashi's private study, about the tactics of war, battle, and chakra and pressure points. Hiashi may not have been able to teach him a lot in secret, but with his pride at stake as a teacher he was sure that he would teach him all he could in the best way possible. He didn't like Naruto at first, but after he managed to befriend both his daughters and the honorable grandson he decided it might be better to judge with actual information rather than an informed inference. They had become grudgingly respectful of each other, Naruto of Hiashi's power, Hiashi of Naruto's ability to repel people he didn't like. Whenever Hiashi dragged him somewhere people seemed to back away from him… well more than usual. Even the branch members managed to stay away. He cursed the fact, however, that Naruto had made friends with the heirs of the Aburame and Inuzuka, who seemed to know that it was all an act, and gravitated towards him more. At least the Akimichi gave him discounts for their food now.

Hiashi knew when something was wrong. His eyes were powerful enough to see the subtle changes in someone's body actions when they were mad, angry, sad or embarrassed. "What's the matter Naruto?"

"Nothing Hiashi-san, it's nothing, really"

"Naruto, I know when you're lying"

"I keep forgetting your eyes are so powerful"

"No, you're just a really bad liar when you're depressed" he replied bluntly

"It was worth a shot"

"No really, it wasn't"

"Fine, I got disqualified from the graduating exam for beating up the teme." Naruto then proceeded to go over the events of the day.

Now to say that Hiashi was excited when he learned he was the most powerful user of the last remaining dojustu… would be insane as he would kill you for calling him excited… but he was rather proud. Until he heard that there were two surviving members. He knew Itachi for a while after he became jonin. The man was almost as emotionless as him, it made him slightly amused to play shogi with him every day. He knew things about Itachi no one else did, and he knew that his death would come before his own. He decided to look after Sasuke for his lost comrade after he left the village, but decided not to after the boy practically demanded he hand over his clan secrets. When he heard his somewhat student beat him up, he enjoyed it immensely. It was the first part of the speech that he grimaced at. The Hokage was going to throw a fit… and he was sure to be there to see it.

"I will see what I can do Naruto… or rather… come Naruto, we are going to make another plan."

Naruto sat there a little surprised as his somewhat mentor stood up and pulled a book from his shelf, opening a door into his "war planning room" as he liked to call it. Naruto liked to call it "Hiashi's Play Room". He quickly got up and followed his teacher in through the old door, before it closed behind him.

Flashback End

And that was why Naruto was sitting on a branch outside the academy. This was phase one of their plan… and he was damn sure it was a load of it. I mean, if Hiashi was right, then this would have to be the lamest anime eve-

At that moment Mizuki dropped down in front of Naruto.

-the hell?

"Hey Naruto, you look a little sad there."

"Of course I'm sad you teme! I was disqualified because of you! Now I have to wait a whole 'nother year just to take it again!"

"Naruto, Naruto! Calm down would you? I did this all for you! I have to be honest with you; I don't think you would have passed that test. The questions were too advanced for the dead last, and had you taken it, those bastards on the council would have no doubt in their minds that you were not ninja material, but I have devised a… supplementary test…"

Naruto couldn't believe his ears; this was going exactly like Hiashi had said. Mizuki had an ulterior motive for disqualifying him. He didn't know what yet… but he was going to. Naruto decided to play the fool and went along with it.

"R-really Mizuki-sensei? I can? What is it? I can do anything!" Naruto said conjuring up those fake tears.

Mizuki laughed a bit before answering, "Well, Naruto, it's more of like a scavenger hunt! There is this scroll in the Hokage Tower; it's called the Scroll of Forbidden Jutsus… I need you to find it for me…"

"Wait, if it's forbidden then why am I going after it?"

"Oh no, that's just a name Naruto! Now listen Naruto, it won't be very easy, its hidden well. We can't let you graduate off of an easy test now can we?"

Naruto was deep in thought, he knew he would have to go through with the plan, he just hoped the old man was okay with it…

(Midnight, Hokage Tower)

Naruto ran through the halls, only his experience with evading chunin after his pranks keeping him from being found. He had made his way to the top floor, where two jonin were standing at attention. He knew that he was better than most genin were at his age, but he knew two jonin would be pushing it.

Just then a flash of blue resonated and a black figure appeared before two now unconscious jonin. The figure turned around and Naruto looked into the pale white eyes, before it vanished.

"Thanks Hyuuga-san" Naruto thought before proceeding into the room. He disabled all of the traps prepared by the Hokage and looked around the office of the Hokage. It was mostly bare, spare for the desk and some bookshelves off to the side. There were some chairs for some would be visitors but that was about it. Naruto approached the desk first and started to probe it. He found nothing of value besides a crystal ball he knew the Third used to see things. He picked it up, curiosity being the only thing that always beat him. He moved it over to the podium the Third usually had it on and released a bit of chakra into it. The ball responded to it and the floor collapsed beneath him.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a small tunnel that he assumed was in a cave underground. He proceeded down the tunnel and came to a large metal door.

'This must be the Hokage Vault' Naruto thought before he proceeded to try to push it, but to no avail. The door had to be at least several tons, and Naruto had a hard time pushing Choji after seeing the words "all you can eat." He tried releasing chakra into it, but that only resulted in him being sent several feet back into the cavern. He walked up to it one last time before trying his last thought. He took a kunai and cut his palm, then smeared his blood across the door. At first nothing happened, but then the room started to shake, and the door slowly creaked open. Naruto dashed inside as soon as he could, missing the words now written in chakra on the door, "Welcome Yondaime"

Asleep in the Sarutobi mansion across the village was the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Deep in his dreams, he was now happy, chasing his beloved through a field of flowers, both of them in a young age. Neither of them had ever heard the word "Hokage" or the massive amount of paperwork that went with it. Hiruzen had never trained under the Shodai or his brother the Nidaime Hokage, and ninjas were just a fairytale dreamt up by a crazy person…

But then his life was always just one ninja storm…

A scroll in his room had started to flare, waking him instantly. Old as he may be, his ninja training was still intact, and if a leaf fell in the forest, he was sure to hear it and be ready to defend his village against it at all costs. He hoped desperately that was what was happening now as he picked up the scroll, knowing exactly what this particular scroll was. He opened it, and saw something that almost sent him to the grave from shock. Instead of the usual, "You left the door open" message that he usually got, it said something that hadn't been written on it in a while… "Welcome Yondaime Hokage Minato"

Hiruzen stormed through his door, and used the body flicker technique to get to the tower as soon as possible, not waking his wife in the slightest. The only thought going through his head being, "Naruto you fool."

Hiruzen didn't stop to remember that he never kept the scroll in his room…

XxX

Now, Naruto had to ponder a bit why his blood would open the door. He had to ponder a bit why it felt like he knew where he was and where to go in a place he had never been before. But these took second fiddle as he ran through the long hallway with many doors. Each door had a symbol above it that he knew very well, Hiashi having drilled it into him from a while ago. He recognized the symbol of Hyuuga, Nara, Akimichi, Aburame, Hatake, Yamanaka, Inuzuka, Sarutobi, and even some other, less known ones. As he got deeper into the facility, he noticed that the doors stopped appearing, and when he reached near the end of the hall, he got to a part that was old and decrepit. It was hard to read, but he managed to put it together. It had said…

Founding Clans of Konoha

Naruto, having nowhere else to go, walked in.

Inside, he saw doors more grand than the ones he had ran past on the way here. There were three in total. The first two he recognized right away, the doors and their descriptions as followed…

Senju Clan- The clan of a thousand techniques, feared throughout the land, was the first founding clan of The Hidden Leaf Village. The Shodai Hokage hailed from this clan, Hashirama Senju was their leader.

Uchiha Clan- The clan of the invincible dojutsu, feared throughout the land, was the second founding clan of The Hidden Leaf Village. The legendary ninja hailed from this clan, Madara Uchiha was their leader.

Naruto looked on in awe at the doors, left slightly in disrepair; he pushed on however, knowing that backup could be here anytime soon. He kept going, before completely stopping in front of the last door. He was about to keep going, before a hand on his shoulder stopped him. Naruto turned around quickly to see the Third standing in front of him, obviously pissed.

"NARUTO! OUT OF ALL THE STUPID STUFF YOU COULD PULL…" he started, power emanating from his very words. Naruto stumbled backwards, holding on to a wall for support…

XxX

Hiruzen was pissed. He knew Naruto was rejected and hated all of his life, and because of that he was allowed to get away with a lot of things with just a slap on the wrist, but this was just going too far, this had to end now. Hiruzen was about to unleash his fury when the door Naruto was holding onto started to glow…

XxX

Naruto looked up at the door he thought was a wall with astonishment. It was so much unlike the rest, being rather plain than intricate. After the glow was gone however, the door turned out to be even more elaborate than the other two, and looked as if it was not a day old, retaining the shine of newly polished metal. It shone of red metal, having a bright orange spiral in the middle, extending outwards towards the edges. It had bright orange clouds dotted here and there and dragons and tigers of the same color fighting towards the bottom. Naruto read the words that appeared alongside the door…

Uzumaki Clan- The clan of the mysterious fuinjutsu, feared throughout the land. The third and last founding clan of The Hidden Leaf, being founded themselves in Uzushiogakure. The seal masters hailed from this clan, Mizusho Uzumaki was their leader.

Naruto looked on in awe at the doorway reading it over again just in case. When the words said the same thing, he started to visibly shake with the knowledge he was receiving. He turned to look at the man he considered his grandfather, only to see him exhibiting the same reactions as he was.

"N-Naruto… what did you do? We have never been able to open that door…" He said, his anger abated for now. He looked at the youth's palm and saw blood dripping from it, and knew instantly the answer to his question, "Naruto… I think it's about time we had a talk…"

Just then a fuma shuriken flew from the darkness behind them at the two ninja, who dodged it with small movements, caring very little what was going on. Mizuki stepped out of the shadows and started to laugh, "Oh no Hokage-sama, it's my turn to shine! Now hand over the forbidden scroll before I have to take it from you!"

Both Naruto and Hiruzen were ready to deal with the traitorous ninja when a flash of blue beat them to it.

"Naruto, this is mission success, you owe me cinnamon buns." Said the stoic and emotionless Hiashi Hyuuga, "Hokage-sama, I believe we have something to talk about."
