Don't own Naruto, never will.
Yes, I'm making Naruto the stronger of the twins, just because Urufu is an OC and he's the main character of the canon
Also, Urufu was being mean cause she is more violent, Naruto went all demonic on her because his fire cools hers and she calms down
Rin was in training ground 7, waiting for the rest of her team. The memorial stone was behind her along with her father. He was actually early for something… This once. He stood there motionless, staring at the stone. It was as if he turned into a statue. Rin was on top of the middle training post, watching the entrance for the twins. Watching, and waiting. Watching, and waiting. Watching and… "DAMN IT! What's taking them so long? Even the other team is late. It's your fault!" She pointed an accusing finger at her father. He looked up at her with a sheepish eye smile and scratched the back of his head.
"Huh? Sorry, honey. I had my mind in the past." He walked up next to her and pulled out the latest Icha.
"I said it's all your fault! You were on time for once… Hell, you were early. Now everyone else is late. You're to blame!" She pouted and jumped off the post. After a quick look around to judge the size of the training ground, she checked the seals on her arms. Satisfied with what she saw, she started jogging around the grounds. Another half hour passed, and team 9 walked in. The first thing that their purple haired sensei did was run over to Kakashi and start attacking him.
"IMPOSTER! What have you done with Hatake?" Everyone present sweat dropped at this, except Kakashi, who was doing everything in his power to stop from being sliced in half. After a lot of coaxing and assurances Yugao got off of him and waited for the rest of team 7. "Sorry we're late Hatake-senpai. I assumed you would be at least an hour late so I took my team to assess their taijutsu. The results were better than expected, but they still have a lot to learn."
"Well that's good. Here," He tossed her three bells, "These will be part of the exercise today." And with that he went back to his book.
Sasuke watched the adults. 'What could those bells be for?' He pondered this while he waited. Then all of a sudden, the pink haired banshee gave a loud shreek. Two large columns of fire erupted right next to her. When the fire dissipated, they saw that it was the twins. They were wearing the same outfits from the day before, except Urufu had a windmill shiruken on her back, and Naruto now had a black short sword on his side. The blonde boy was stretching to warm up his muscles. He looked over at the waiting group, then at the jogging kunoichi. After a pause, he went to go run with her. Urufu walked up to her sensei and bowed. 'Why is she always so formal?' Sasuke started to get absorbed in his own thoughts, most of which were about the strawberry blond girl.
"Sorry we're late Kakashi-sensei. We did some early morning training since we assumed you'd be late." Kakashi looked downcast at this.
"Can't I be early for anything?" There was a loud "NO!" ringing around the field as everyone present except Sasuke and Sakura spoke up.
"Thank you for thinking so positive about me." The masked jonin frowned, or what looked like a frown from the way his eye bent. (If there is an eye smile… is there an eye frown?) He picked up his book and pulled out three more bells. Naruto and Rin jogged up to the group, breathing a little harder than the rest. "Okay, onto the mission, so to speak. Yugao and I each have three bells. You six need to work as a team to get them, or you will NOT pass. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of you died from this." Two gulping sounds were heard as a certain pink headed and her crush got scared. "Oh, and if you fail to get them before lunch, you will all be strapped to the post to watch me and Yugao-kouhai (senpai is elder, kouhai is junior) to eat them all. It begins… NOW!" And with that, the two jonins poofed away. Sasuke looked around before heading off to find them. A tanned hand grabbed his shoulder, and he saw the blond-dobe holding him back.
"Let me go, I'm going find them!" Sasuke tried to pull away, but he found that this boy was definitely stronger than he looked, and he looked pretty strong to begin with. He was pulled back into the group forcefully and was made to sit down. He glared at the boy and shook the hand off.
"We need to work as one big team. If we don't, well, you heard them." Naruto looked at the raven haired boy, then at the group. He pulled out a large paintbrush out of one of his pockets and started writing on the ground. It ended in a large enough circle to hold all of the genin and several small seals placed around the edges and a large one in the middle. "These seals are so that they can't hear what we say, or read our lips. It makes it look like me and Sasuke are fighting… Well, it looks like I'm fighting, Sasuke is getting beat into a pulp," he chuckled when he saw the glare the aforementioned raven gave him. "Ok. I have a plan, but it's risky…" Naruto explained it to them, and with some strategical help from Sakura (hey, she's smart, and that's all she got going for her, so I'm keeping her smart) they were off.
They split up into two groups. One was Naruto and Sasuke, the other was the kunoichi. The boys headed off to a clearing, and then Naruto stopped. Sasuke hesitated, then kept going and the blond had to pull him back again. "Sasuke-teme! What the hell are you doing! We need to work as a team!" Naruto hit him across the head. Sasuke kicked him away and got into a fighting stance.
"I'm an Uchiha. I don't need to work with low lives like you. Katon: Dai Endan!" Sasuke puffed up and blew out. A large fireball flew towards Naruto, who put his hand up and pumped chakra into them, and caught it. He threw it up before and made the dragon sign before yelling "Heki!" The fireball grew and separated into ten pieces that were the same size as the first. Naruto pointed towards Sasuke and they headed straight at the raven, which was frozen to the spot in surprise and fright. A split second before any could hit, Kakashi shunshined in front of Sasuke and dispelled them with a water jutsu.
"Naruto, what are you doing? You are supposed to work together!" Naruto glared at the jonin, before a smile grew on his face.
"We were Kakashi-sensei, honest!" Kakashi took a breath to start berating him again, but froze. Naruto smiled bigger as there was a slight tinkling (is that the right word?) was heard, and Kakashi felt the points of several kunai on his neck.
In another part of the training ground, the kunoichi were searching for Yugao. After a while, Sakura screamed in frustration and slumped to the ground. Rin continued on with Reiko and Urufu went to help the pink haired girl. "We're never going to find them! They're ex-ANBU and we're only genin. It's just too hard." She started sobbing. Urufu picked her up, and smacked her across the face.
"Shut up and help us look! They said-"
"I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAID! I GIVE UP!" She wiggled free of Urufu's grasp and ran off. Rin turned back, caught up with her, and smacked her again.
"Calm down, you're no help at all!" Rin went to smack the girl again, but a hand stopped her. When she turned around, she saw Reiko with a grim expression.
"Why are you hitting my team-mate? We are supposed to be working together." She threw the other girl's hand away, and Rin stumbled. "You do anything to one of my team-mates again, I will kill you." She picked Sakura up off the ground. Urufu joined Rin a slight ways away from them and glared in their direction.
"Is that a threat, outcast. We wouldn't want some traitor's kid worried, now would we." Urufu sneered at the girl before turning her back on them. The next thing she knew, several snakes had made their way around her and made her fall.
"DO NOT INSULT MY MOTHER!" The purple haired girl ran at them. Urufu broke free of the snakes, and engaged the enraged kunoichi. Rin was knocked unconscious by a bite from a snake before she could help Urufu, and Sakura was unable to do anything other than watch.
Urufu ducked and dodged as several doton techniques came at her. Reiko threw everything she had at the strawberry blonde. Urufu flipped on more time, just to be caught in a futon technique. When she landed, Reiko was on her. But as soon as she got close, she was immobilized by a genjutsu Urufu used. While the girl was trying to break it, Urufu used the chance to strike. She pulled out her sword, and made a large swing straight at the girl's head. Seconds before it hit, Yugao jumped in and blocked with her own sword.
"Urufu! Were you seriously about to kill a fellow Konoha-nin?" The purple haired jonin glared at the now smiling girl.
"Of course not! We just pretended to hate each other for the sake of the exercise." Her smile got bigger as Yugao's eyes widened. Before she could get away, Reiko grabbed her shirt and held a kunai to her back. Rin, who was supposedly incapacitated, got up and placed another kunai on the woman's neck. Sakura jumped from where she was and grabbed the bells. After they were in position, Urufu walked up and took out several sheets of paper and placed them on Yugao's wrists, ankles, lower back, and stomach. The girls were forced to let go, and Yugao flopped down to the ground and created a small crater.
"Nice job, too bad you can't do that again against Hatake. He's too smart for tha-" She was interrupted by Naruto and Sasuke carrying an equally helpless Kakashi into the clearing.
"I see that you're side worked. Was it hard?" Naruto carefully placed Kakashi on the ground and started digging in his many pockets.
"No, the plan worked perfectly. Nice job on the portable weight seals. What's this, 400 times?" Urufu stared at the seals on both of the jonin.
"No, much heavier. I had to take mine off just to carry Kakashi-sensei here. It's about twice that. Now... Where... Did... I... Put... The... Deactivation... Seals...?" Each word was spaced as he looked in a different pocket. When he found them, he swiped them across the seals and the jonin were freed.
Everyone was looking at the twin's in amazement. Even the newly freed jonin. Sasuke spoke up first. "What are saying about weight seals? 800 times, and you carried Kakashi-sensei all the way here?"
"Not even Gai wears 800 times weights..." Kakashi was as surprised as everyone else. Maybe even more so as he was close friends with the aforementioned taijutsu master.
"Well... We each wear 1000 times weights. So carrying you was no problem.
"How can you even move with all that on?" Rin was especially perplexed because her father knew the taijutsu master... She knew his apprentice.
"That's easy. We've been wearing them since we were three. It's a long story and I'd rather not talk about it." Naruto pulled up his sleeves and reactivated his seal. The lines there were intricately arranged into a picture of foxes in a field. They 'oohed' and 'ahhed' at his creation. Urufu pulled her sleeves up to reveal pictures the same field, except the foxes were fighting. Both were beautifully illustrated.
They put their sleeves back down, and everyone gathered their equipment. The genin looked at each other and started laughing. Kakashi and Yugao looked downcast. They were about to go their separate ways, but Naruto stopped them. "Why don't we all go eat out somewhere? We are going to be a team and all, we should get to know each other, right?" The jonins exchanged a look. They nodded, the genin whooped at the chance for free food, and they were off.
Naruto led them to the beef restaurant that he ate at the day before. There was a long line and the genins were about to groan that they should eat somewhere else. Before they could go, the waiters spotted Naruto and practically fainted. They ran over to him and pulled him and his party through the line. They brought them to a large table in the corner and sat them down. Everyone looked at Naruto, who scratched his head sheepishly. "I ate here last night. I guess they remember me." Urufu face-palmed, while the rest looked clueless. No one had honestly seen Naruto eat before.
The waiters came for their orders. Everyone ordered beef and vegetables, since that is what the restaurant mainly served. Except Naruto and Urufu, who ordered beef, and informed the waiter to keep it coming. They ate for a few minutes in silence while most watched the twins half cook there food, then practically breath it in. The waiters were crying with joy as they brought mounds and mounds of the meat.
The silence was broken by a disheveled Sasuke spoke up. "How can you EAT like that? Most of that food is still bloody." The twins looked up, and Naruto licked some of the red liquid from his mouth. The genin shivered slightly but held his gaze.
"The same reason we've been wearing weights since we were three. And the reason that some of your parents told you to stay away from us." Sakura and Sasuke exchanged a worried glance, but Urufu didn't notice and kept on. "It's also the same reason we are stronger, faster, and why Hokage-sama taught us. It is the reason why we have the worst, and yet the best, lives in the village."
There was an awkward silence for a little while, before Sasuke's curiosity got the best of him… again. "But, why? No one ever tells us, no matter who we ask."
"Well... You see..."Naruto looked around, and put his hand up to tell the waiters to stay back. He drew some familiar symbols on the table with another brush. He and Urufu exchanged a glance, and both nodded. "The reason is because of a 'condition' we have. Kakashi-sensei, Yugao-sensei... do you think that these four are ready for the truth?" He looked at each of the jonin in turn. The genin were waiting patiently, but each was eager to finally be told what was up with these two. They kept mentioning a 'condition,' their 'tenant,' a 'special situation.' But no one ever told them what. The jonins stayed silent for a long time. Kakashi whispered something to Yugao, and when she nodded, he gave the twins the signal to go on.
Naruto had a grave look, and Urufu's face darkened to the point that she looked dead. Naruto took the lead again, seeing that his sister wasn't going to be any help. "Twelve years ago, the Yondaime defeated the Kyuubi no Kitsune. We were all told that he killed it by summoning Shinigami-sama and dragging them both into the afterlife."
"Yeah, Yeah. We know, even the newest of academy students know that. What does that have to do with you?" Sasuke, growing arrogant again, glared at the blondes.
"I was getting there teme. Now, what we were told, was wrong. He did defeat the fox, but he didn't kill it. No human can kill the greatest of the bijuu. Nor did he want to kill it. There's a story about that too, but that comes after. What he did do though, was seal it into two newborn infants. He couldn't put her, the fox, into anyone with their chakra coils finished. The coils themselves needed to be large so that the fox's chakra didn't overload their system. The two babies were his children." Kakashi's eyes went very wide, and Yugao sputtered over her drink. "Urufu and I are those children." The other four genin eyes nearly popped out of their heads. They glanced from the twins, to the jonins, back to the twins.
Naruto let the information settle before continuing. "You are NOT allowed to tell anyone. This is an S-ranked secret and Hokage-jiji put up laws that prohibits anyone from speaking about it with a penalty of death. The only ones that can talk about it freely are me, my sister, and whoever the current Hokage is. All the adults know about the fox, but only the council knows who our parents are." Naruto sat back and waited for the onslaught.
The questioning gazes changed swiftly between that of confusion, rage, pity, and even... 'Was that love? Oh well, it's gone.' Naruto sat there waiting. His sister, on the other hand, got fidgety under the eyes of her fellow ninja. She looked around at the other people, oblivious to their conversation. She looked back, and still no one said anything. She was getting more and more anxious as time went on. She was about to say something, when Reiko spoke up. "So that's why Mizuki-sensei glared at you two. That's also why so many people gave you glares on the way here. But why would they hate you? You two are the only thing between them and that damned fox-" She stopped when Urufu gave her an evil looking glare.
"Megami-sensei is evil. She was just misunderstood. That why our father didn't want to kill her. She lost her only son to Konoha ninja. How would you feel if your ally took or killed someone precious to you!" The blond kunoichi stood up. She was about to say something else but her brother laid a hand on her shoulder. She looked back, and saw his eyes flicker, first with, then without the tomes. "Fine, I'll settle down." She sat back down pouting, and crossed her arms. Kakashi stared at the blond boy. 'A lot of explaining.'
Naruto half bowed to the rest of them. "Sorry for my sister. The yin side got sealed into her. She is mostly very cranky and angry most of the time. She gets depressed easily as well. The yang side is sealed within me. That is why I'm bright and cheery, and why I calm her down a lot. The sealing affected our moods. Also, we have extremely large chakra reserves and nice little power ups. You might want to settle down for this." He undid the seals and waved the waiters carrying the plates over. "Just bring a bunch. We have stuff to talk about, and the privacy seal won't let anyone that close." While they waited, the twins ate some more half cooked meat.
When Naruto waved the waiters away and put the seals back up, he got to it. "Our apatite is the most affected. We have a taste for raw meat, but it would be murder to our digestive system, so we eat it seared. As for strength and stamina, not only could we beat all of you in a boxing match, but we could do it over and over again without rest. We are faster and our senses are a lot better than that of the Inuzukas. We are far more skilled than any genin, no offense. Megami-sensei, the Kyuubi, has been teaching us sense birth. She taught us how to talk, read, write, and in different jutsus. We've been sparing since we were two in our mindscapes. Also, we can use certain abilities... Some that, well, even Hokage-jiji doesn't even know about. I only use one to calm Urufu down. But I have never had to use them in battle. We've tried some of them out, but never against something living. There are a lot. We don't even know all of them. You could test us tomorrow if you would like. Like maybe we do about, I don't know... 150 D-rank missions?" Some small thuds were heard. Naruto looked up from his eating to see what had happened. Several jaws had hit the table. He continued to eat and wait for their comments. After several minutes, Sasuke broke the tension. Apparently, he became the spokesperson for the other genin.
"So you are saying... that all of us... should do that many missions... BY OURSELVES? You must be out of your damn mind!" Sasuke slammed his fist on the table. "No one could do that many missions in one day. No one, especially not two genin teams!" Naruto waited for the Uchiha to calm down. When he did, he explained what he had meant.
"Well, duh. You six wouldn't have the time nor the stamina to do that many. On the other hand, my sister and I studied from the forbidden scroll." Several gasps of surprise. "The very first jutsu on it is the shadow clone jutsu. It makes solid clones that can think for themselves. They have chakra, and can be used for different purposes. We, the eight of us, could do missions and they, our clones, could do more missions. I say that us originals need to do some of the harder things, like something physically demanding. Sorry to say, but you're all too weak." He glanced around at the growing tick marks on all of the genin. He shrugged and went back to eating.
Reiko glared at Naruto a little more, but then something dawned on her. "You said something about the fox losing her son. What's that about?"
Naruto sighed, and opened his mouth. But before he could say anything, Urufu beat him to the punch. "Megami-sensei attacked in a small bout of rage. Yes, small. She could have just destroyed Konoha in one attack if she had wanted. Her son was either kidnapped or killed by Konoha ninja. The cave they were supposed to meet smelled of evil and snakes. We didn't figure out until later that it was Orochimaru and some ninja following him. She was devastated and didn't have control over her emotions." Urufu stopped eating and put her arms around herself. Naruto patted her shoulder before turning back to the rest of the 'crew.'
"I think that's enough for now. Tomorrow, you'll get to see just how much power we have. And Kakashi-sensei. That talk that you want, if you follow us, you'll have it." Naruto got up and walked away, following Urufu out of the restaurant. Kakashi's eyes had bugged out because he never mentioned the talk.
Naruto and Urufu were sitting on their couch, facing their two jonin senseis. Yugao had no idea why she was here, while Kakashi paced back and forth. He had stopped and turned towards the children several times, as if he was about to say something. But then went back to pacing. He sat down and looked Naruto squarely in the eye, knowing that he would talk before his sister would.
"Yes, we can use it." Kakashi nearly flipped back when the blond spoke. "And yes, your assumption is right about the Kyuubi and our powers. I use it to calm Urufu down since she can't use it. She might be great with genjutsu but she can't beat it." Kakashi contemplated this, and went back to pacing. Yugao looked from her senpai then to the blond, and back.
"What's he talking about Hatake? What is this 'power?'" Kakashi looked at her and sat back down.
"Naruto and Urufu will a lot stronger than anyone in the village. Maybe anyone in the entirety of the Elemental Nations. I've seen Naruto use the sharingan twice. Both times to calm down Urufu." Yugao looked at him skeptically, then to the blond.
"But that can't be possible. Only the Uchihas-"
"Can wield the sharingan, I know I know. But it's because of Megami-sensei. Whenever we were old enough to understand what it was, she gave us an offer she needed to give all of her Jinchuuriki. We were each given kekkai genkais a few years ago, and we have mastered all of them." The jonin were very much surprised at this. Then Kakashi looked at him again.
"Kekkai genkais, as in plural? How many do you have?"
"No idea, but there are some that are only reserved for each of our halves of the chakra, like the sharingan. Urufu can't use most doujutsu while I can't use most grounded types, like earth or sand. Also, any of the special jutsus we thought we lost, are now alive within us. Urufu can give birth to a child, and bless him with one kekkai genkai. As well, I can bless any children I have with one. When the time comes, and if I have a wife and she lets, I will donate sperm to whoever wants a baby and I will give that family a kekkai genkai, upon their choosing to have the 'demon's' child. Please don't tell Hokage-jiji. He would freak out if he knew." They looked at the jonins with pleading eyes. They older ninja caved and promised, on their way out, Kakashi told the twins something.
"I almost forgot. Starting tomorrow, teams 7 and 9 will be merging into one team. We do missions, training, everything, together. Also, you two will be in charge of the team's workout schedule. Yugao and I will be placing you in charge in our stead for whatever reasons there may be. See you tomorrow!" And with that, he poofed away. Yugao looked at the twins, then turned and walked out of the door, muttering something about teenagers, and council members.?

SORRY! I'm sooooo sorry for the long wait, I didn't want to write this chapter like this, but it just sorta happened… It was mainly because I needed to get some tidbits out of the way, less explaining later on, and more room for action. I will be updating both of my stories sometime next week for certain, please please please review
