A/N: So I went back through and I am pretty sure I got all the techniques switched into their Japanese forms, If anyone find's one that I missed hit me with it in a review so I can fix it up as well, I also changed the Author's notes on the First chapter, Anyone who is still unsure about my main cannon changes can refer to that,

(Edit: apparently the end of this chapter was unintentionally inspired off of another fan fiction, 'A New Chance.' by Hektols. So yeah.)

The sound of shoes scraping on dirt filled the air as Naruto shifted his weight and focused his Chakra, there was a flash of golden light and his feet embedded into the bark of a nearby tree, he caught his father's oddly shaped Kunai and within a blink of the eye he was across the small clearing in the forest gripping the handle of the final Kunai and panting heavily. His knee's felt like they were about to give out as he sagged.

"I DID IT!" He shouted at the top of his lungs "KU! I GOT IT, I FINALLY GOT IT DOWN!"

"I know," Kurama chuckled "We are in the same head remember?!"

"Oh, right…Yeah," Naruto scratched the back of his head as he fell backwards against the trunk of one of the large tree's around him "I hope Hinata wakes up today, I want to tell her and Sasuke everything, now that I'm a Genin."

"If I didn't know you better I'd say you are nervous." Kurama taunted

"Of course I am nervous," Naruto snapped back, before taking a calming breath "What if they don't like me anymore? What if they think I am the reincarnation of you just like everybody else….I don't think I'd be able to handle that."

Naruto winced as a sharp pain shot through his cheek "Baka! Do you believe your own friends to be of such low caliber?!" Kurama demanded angrily.

Naruto was stunned in silence for a moment "Oi! Kurama did you just make me slap myself?!" Naruto glowered at the air in front of him as the fox laughed.

"Of course my friends wouldn't, I'm just worried." Naruto answered after a sigh.

Naruto climbed to his feet slowly and stretched his arms above his head, a relaxing pop rang out from his shoulders as he moved towards the village.

Sarutobi puffed on his pipe idly as he watched over the leaf village, the people in the street's milling about their lives brought him some peace as he took a long breath. He frowned and turned towards the door of his office as a small scuffle was heard outside, Iruka burst through the door of the aging Hokage's office and Sarutobi raised an eyebrow to stare at the Academy teacher. He raised a hand to stop his secretary and the pair of guards from pulling the man outside, it was not as if he had something to attend to anyway.

"Hokage-sama, Naruto is not at the hospital!" Iruka announced in a panicked tone.

The Hokage watched him for a few moments before chuckling "Iruka, Calm down, he is merely out training confining that boy to a bed is harder than taming a bear."

"Oh, uh, I see," Iruka stumbled "I, apologize for making a fuss Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi chuckled again "Sit, Tell me why you have been so anxious to see me for these last few days."

Iruka hesitated a moment before taking a seat in the older man's office, He clenched his fists and stared at the floor in-between his feet, Sarutobi took another long inhale of his pipe and took his own seat, watching the man carefully.

"Naruto was injured when he arrived for the survival test, He claimed it was from nothing more than a training accident," Iruka began slowly "I let him through, I believed he could handle it even in that state and if I took him out of the test at the point he would probably hate me forever." He smiled bitter sweetly as he spoke "It's my fault it ended up like this and I would like to take responsibility."

The Hokage stroked his goatee silently for a moment "Iruka, Do you believe Naruto blames you for his or his friends injuries? I don't believe so, He is out training to become stronger as we speak and even in that state he defeated Mizuki a high level Chunin of the Hidden Leaf Village."

"But-" Iruka cut off as the Hokage raised his hand.

"Whilst I agree that letting him into the test when walking was as difficult as it was for him may have been a lapse in judgment, He would never let either of us here the end of it if he was held back. I cannot punish you for making the same decision as I would in the situation." The Hokage chuckled "But, What I do have in mind for you may be worse than any punishment you could receive."

Iruka swallowed heavily.

"Kakashi!" Sarutobi announced sharply, The white haired Jonin appeared beside him, he inclined his head slightly towards Iruka "I want you to train Iruka here a little, I think he will benefit from it greatly."

Kakashi nodded "Sir!" He turned around and walked to the office door "Come on now, Teacher-san, We have work to do." He said in his usual bored tone, lulling his head to the side and watching Iruka with his uncovered eye, the thing twisted into what could be considered a smile "I think I am going to enjoy this."

Iruka swallowed hard again, one thing he knew about a Jonin like Kakashi his enjoyment was nothing something you wanted to be a part of.

Naruto sneezed as he walked into the hospital, he rubbed his nose as he looked around the room, The receptionist caught sight of him and shot up "Uzumaki-san! You are supposed to be healing, Where did you go? How did you even get out of your room?!" The woman half demanded, half scolded him as she grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him towards his room.

"Um, I am a Shinobi remember?" Naruto responded flatly as he walked slightly ahead of her "And beside I had something to take care of."

"Unacceptable, You can't just run off and start training before you have healed properly, what could be more important than your health?" she continued in her slightly knaggy tone.

"You have to give them credit for perseverance, I mean they still tell you the same thing every time." Kurama noted.

"I got it, I won't leave again I promise," Naruto stopped and turned around "But does it matter which hospital room I stay in?" He asked, glancing at the door to his left.

The nurse followed his gaze "With your word you will remain in the hospital, I will allow it."

Naruto gave the woman a warmhearted smile "Thank you."

She nodded and spun on her heel, striding away from him, Naruto shook his head slightly as he walked up to the door, the small number plate beside it read '12' he pulled the door open slowly, almost afraid of what was inside.

He stopped in the doorway, Hinata sat slightly upright, looking out the window at the setting sun of Konoha, The golden light bathing her skin slightly, her eyes were closed and she sighed contentedly taking in a low breath, the orange hues of the sun giving her skin a glow Naruto hadn't seen before, but something he would never be able to forget.

"Wow," He finally uttered dumbly, she caught the sound and she turned to face him, a small warm smile enveloping her face as she realized who was in her room, he walked forward slightly stiff as he got to the side of her bed "I, uh, got you these." He stumbled slightly as he handed her a small bouquet of flowers, the set of violets inside bloomed beautifully.

"They reminded me of you when I saw them," Naruto scratched his cheek nervously as he studied the wall "I hope you like them."

Hinata let out a soft chuckled as she placed them in the small vase on her bedside table, she reached out and took his sleeve in her hand slightly above his wrist, she gave it a light tug and Naruto obliged to the pull, leaning down towards her, she met him halfway, their lips pressed together for a few moments, any worry Naruto still had in his system vanished as her scent filled his nose, the same lavender scent that always calmed him down, the same warmth in her cheeks as their lips locked together for in reality was a few seconds but felt much longer, he pulled back slowly, azure blue met lavender and the two stayed like that for another minute, Naruto leaning his forehead against hers as the two just took comfort in each other's presence.

A sharp cough caused Naruto to suddenly stiffen, he straightened and took a wide step away from Hinata, Who stiffened in her spot on the bed as she watched the door.

"I'm glad to see you two so…close." Hiashi said carefully, the smile on his face chilled Naruto to the bone and he edged his way out of the room.

"Um, I'm going to go check on, uh…Sasuke…too." Naruto stuttered out as he left the room.

Hinata nodded and gave him another warm smile.

Naruto closed the door behind him and let out a long sigh of relief, his hands grabbed the hair on either side of his head and he let out a slightly strangled scream.

"Dobe, What's going on? You finally lost your mind?" The dull voice asked casually, Naruto didn't need to turn around to see who it was.

"Sasuke," Naruto placed his hand on the Uchiha's shoulder, he had a slightly dead pan look in his eye "It's over for me I think, Hiashi's going to have me assassinated."

Sasuke stared at the blonde with a questioning frown, before chopping down on the boys head "Idiot, As if he'd do anything harm his daughter."

"I didn't say anything-" Naruto cut off as he gathered the meaning behind those words, he rubbed his head a winced "You didn't have to hit me, Teme!"

Sasuke smirked at the blonde "So, You want to explain what Mizuki meant in the forest…about you being the nine tailed fox?"

Naruto's face turned serious, his eyes set harder and he seemed to be having some kind of internal struggle "I want to tell you, Hinata too. So can you give me some time?"

Sasuke watched the blonde impassively "That's fine, Your life is your own business, But there is something I want, no, need you to understand."

Naruto lifted an eyebrow in question.

"It doesn't matter." Sasuke finished flatly

"Huh?" Naruto hummed in surprise not quite following.

Sasuke rolled his eyes "Both Hinata and I, Made the decision of our free will to befriend you, We accept who you are right now, It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks, You are Naruto Uzumaki, The number one loudmouthed imbecile, who also is a powerful Shinobi and the best friend anyone could ever have."

Naruto's mouth fell open in surprise, he blinked a few times 'Is this really Sasuke?'

"This isn't a Genjutsu if that's what you mean." Kurama growled "It seems the boy has a heart somewhere inside his chest. How interesting."

Sasuke's cheeks dusted lightly "So stop being stupid and just charge in like you always do, Dobe. I'll make sure to save you like always."

"What was that Teme?! Last I checked you got knocked the fuck out by Mizuki!" Naruto shouted in retort.

"Trying to save you, Who was all locked up by the enemies Jutsu!" Sasuke fumed.

A cough resounded in the corridor, the pair of teens hadn't noticed the door to Hinata's hospital room open while they were busy arguing. The two froze as a wave of killing intent washed over them, they darted to attention beside each other and bowed respectfully out of fear.

"We apologize, Hiashi-sama!" They exclaimed in unison.

"Uchiha, You may leave I want a word with Naruto." Hiashi said darkly

Sasuke straightened and nodded his head, moving passed the older man into Hinata's room, he turned to Naruto and mouthed a 'good luck' before the door closed.

"Uz-u-ma-ki." Hiashi annunciated slowly.

Naruto winced and lifted his head, meeting the man's eyes levelly, this wasn't a time to be meek. Naruto froze suddenly at the man's uncharacteristic smile, Naruto tilted his head and let a nervous smirk break out on his face.

"What do you think I am?" Hiashi chuckled "I am not some demon who has forgotten what it was like to be a teenager."

"But-you-I." Naruto stuttered as his brain struggled to follow the situation.

"However," Hiashi's smile vanished "I would appreciate it, if you kept your…interactions…more private…"

Naruto nodded his head vigorously "Yes, Hiashi-sama, of course."

'It's almost too easy." Hiashi hid his smirk behind his hand this time "Oh, And congratulations on making Genin with your new team."

"Thank you, Hiashi-sama." Naruto bowed his head quickly

"I will take my leave now," Hiashi inclined his head "Be sure to listen to the nurses here Naruto, They are quite knowledgeable."

Naruto nodded his head again as the Hyuuga clan head moved away from the room, Naruto slid the door open and walked inside.

The soft dark chuckling of the Kyuubi resonated in Naruto's mind 'NOT A SINGLE WORD FOX!' Naruto screamed at his tenant angrily.

"Naruto-kun," The soft voice snapped his attention from the inside of his mind "W-w-what d-did my father say?" Hinata asked slowly

Sasuke raised a questioning eyebrow at the pair, he was definitely making Naruto spill the details of this conversation next time they sparred, he wasn't even sure why he had such an investment in his friends relationship, it was certainly fun to tease them about it.

Naruto scratched the back of his head in nervous embarrassment "Um, Nothing really, just to…um…keep…our interactions…a little…more…private." He progressively got quieter and Sasuke had trouble catching the last bits of sentence.

'They can't have gone that far?!' He thought in wide eyed disbelief glanced at Hinata 'She's seems so shy? Is she really crazily bold?!'

The girl's face began to glow red before Sasuke swore he saw a small cloud of steam above her head 'No, Naruto's just an idiot.' Sasuke resisted the urge to face palm.

"So? Explain what Mizuki meant." Sasuke demanded, a little of his annoyance surrounding the last exchange coming through.

Naruto straightened 'Just charge in like you always do.' Those words came to mind at that moment.

"I'm the container for the Nine-Tail's Demon fox!" Naruto exclaimed, releasing massive breath "Oh man, that's feels way better."

Sasuke and Hinata both gaped at the blonde "Ah, Um, N-You…CONTEXT!" Sasuke shouted

"Oh, right my dad is also the fourth Hokage and he couldn't kill the Kyuubi, Kurama, is his name by the way, so he sealed it into a newborn and since my dad believed that he couldn't ask his subordinates something he himself would never do he sealed it in me, he also trusted me to be able to overcome the difficulties of the whole thing." Naruto rambled.

Sasuke slammed his palm over his head painfully, letting out a low growl at the action "So, your dad is the Fourth and you are the container for the Kyuubi, Any other bombs you want to drop on us before we ask you some things?"

"Hm…" Naruto thought a moment "Oh, this morning I learned the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique.) My father used."

Sasuke fell flat on his back "Your…such…an IDIOT!" He roared.

"Eh?! Why?! You are the one who told me to charge in like I always do!" Naruto whined angrily

"You blurt out that the story we have been told since we were kids is a lie, you're the container for the demon fox we all thought was destroyed you follow that up with 'Oh right, my dad is also the fourth' like having one of the world's most legendary Shinobi as your dad occurred to you as an afterthought," Sasuke fumed angrily before he sighed and gave Hinata a solemn look "It must be hard Hinata, I can see your struggle in a whole new light."

Hinata couldn't help but snicker at the dark haired brooder.

"Say that again you duck haired jackass, I beat you back into that hospital bed!" Naruto threatened

"There's still something I am curious about," Hinata piped up, drawing the two boys attention "You said the Kyuubi's name was Kurama, you can speak to him?"

Naruto say down and rubbed his chin thoughtfully "Well, sort of, It's kind of like we can hear what each other are thinking, of course only if we let it happen otherwise it's just thoughts as usual."

"I see," Hinata nodded, she gestured for Naruto to lean a little closer to her "I'm counting on you to keep my Naruto-kun safe, Kurama-kun."

"I like her, She has a proper respect for your savior." Kurama nodded enthusiastically

"Shut it fox." Naruto thought back angrily.

"Not to interrupt you and your, uh, Naruto-kun," Sasuke mimicked Hinata playfully "But how do you know this fox is really a good guy, well thing."

"I don't like him." Kurama sighed

Naruto ignored the fox, "Well, he has been giving me small amounts of Chakra since I accidentally yanked too much of his out that way I should be able to handle it if something bad were to happen again."

"That doesn't really answer my question." Sasuke pointed out

Kurama sighed "Tell him to come here."

"He wants you to come here." Naruto relayed with confusion.

Sasuke hesitantly obliged standing in front of the blonde and eyeing him curiously.

"Place your hand on his head." Kurama ordered

Naruto internally nodded, lifting his hand he placed it atop the dark haired boys head, said boy gave Naruto a surprised look but didn't move.

"Listen here you Uchiha brat," Kurama announced darkly "If I meant your friend any harm, I would never give him the advice I have neither would I give him my Chakra, Think about how many years I have been inside his mind, I could have been subtly influencing him since birth do you believe the boy in front of you to be a fabrication?!"

Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth moved into a thin line and he nodded his head "I understand, Kurama, thank you for taking care of my friend for me." Sasuke thought back.

"Hmph, I like him a little better." Kurama chuckled as Naruto removed his hand.

"What'd he say?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Nothing, He just accepted it." Kurama responded cryptically.

"Fine, whatever." Naruto sighed

"Oh, I have something fun to tell the two of you, I think you'll like this surprise!" Naruto announced happily

The pair turned questioning looks to him.

Naruto reached inside his coat pocket and removed two small blue Hitai-ate, the Hidden leaf symbol proudly etched on the small metal band of cloth "We all made Genin!"

Sasuke was the only member in the room that was surprised, Hiashi had told Hinata when the two boys were outside and Naruto was the one doing the surprising, he had been given the forehead protectors by the Third because he was the first to wake up, he assumed Naruto would see the other two before he did.

The couple let the dark haired boy celebrate, by celebrate they just sat in silence as he struggled to keep from jumping around out of happiness.

"Kakashi-san," Iruka swallowed hard "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Yeah, This is how the fourth trained me and the fourth was trained in the same way, although it's changed a little since his time of course." Kakashi responded in his usual tone.

'What are they monsters?!' Iruka thought as his eyes widened, he felt a small pressure before Kakashi gave him a small push, Iruka swallowed hard again and steeled his resolve as he walked forward.

Anko Mitarashi, sat in her favorite seat in small restaurant that served the best sweet dango in Konoha, her back to the street as she placed another of the small confectionary into her mouth and sighed at the delicious taste. It was one of the small things she did that didn't give her a sadistic satisfaction.

Iruka stepped up beside her, she knew the teacher but never really spoke to him, after all he'd have to be pretty gutless to give up his career as a Shinobi to train brats, even if they were the future of their village, she couldn't imagine having to deal with them daily 'Okay, I guess I can respect him a little.' She thought to herself absently.

Iruka cracked a really forced smile towards the woman and she raised an eyebrow at him 'Please god at least let my legs move properly today!' he mentally prayed as he moved slightly, his arm wrapping around the woman's body as he took a firm hold of her plump behind "Wow, The guys were right when they said this was the best ass in all of Konoha." Iruka announced cockily

A tick mark appeared on the purple haired woman's forehead as she pulled a Kunai from her pouch and brandished it menacingly "You know, For a future corpse you've got guts."

Iruka paled as he jumped away from the woman before running as fast as his legs could carry him, Anko gave chase.

Kakashi removed a small book from his pocket and began reading it as he walked towards his home casually. Tomorrow he would be meeting his new team, although he knew all three of them pretty well from all the talking said students had stirred up. He smiled behind his mask.

A/N: I have been away from this for a little while, procrastination, laziness and a few actual real life drama's happened so yeah, I thought about the whole Naruto explanation for a really long time, I changed from touchy feely to dark back to touchy and then a thought occurred to me, When was Naruto ever touchy feely as a kid? So, That's how we ended up with the charge. The end bit with Iruka and Anko is half for fun, half for a side pairing I kind of enjoy so I hope you enjoyed and I will see you guys next time! Peace!
