Hey guys. I'm supposed to be studying for exams, but couldn't resist writing again. My mind is soo full of ideas ha ha ha. If only you knew what I have planned for naruto!! Hee hee. Sorry about that sometimes I get a little excited. Well here you go chapter 5. Oh yes almost forgot. Exams start on Monday so a few things might occur.

My pc privileges will get taken away for the duration (4 weeks)

I'll be too busy studying( unlikely)

Or I'll be writing more as I'll have a lot of extra time.

So just a warning.

Chapter 5: Announcements

Naruto woke up in a comfortable bed a warm bundle at his side, these things made him remember the previous day's happenings. The egg had hatched into a female dragon, he was purified of the Kyuubi which was stored into his necklace by the dragon and he realized his new friends cared for him.

"Good morning, so what are we gonna do today?" The dragon queried as naruto started moving around. He climbed out of bed went to the adjoining bathroom and showered. After his shower naruto noticed a marking on his shoulder. On closer inspection he realized it was a tattoo of a dragon, "That's a sign of our bond; I didn't like the idea of a marking on your hand so I put it on your shoulder." Naruto was ecstatic about his tattoo. "Woman are gonna fall over just at the sight of this tattoo, woohoo people will think I'm soo badass." The dragon merely shook her head, "So does that mean you are going to walk around topless for the rest of your life and show off your little bit of a tummy?" At this naruto went bright red, "IT'S JUST BABY FAT OKAY!!" in a mood he quickly clothed himself. As he left the bedroom he stuck out his tongue towards the dragon before running off, closely followed by his dragon cub.

After a few minutes they both realized they were lost and decided that since they didn't know where to go they might as well just stop where they were.

After a few minutes they heard footsteps. A few thoughts passed between the two.

The sandaime had been having a good day so far, things were looking up for naruto and he had organized to speak to the villagers in an hour. The only thing bothering him was the fact that he couldn't find his charge anywhere. So here he was searching his own house for a boy and a baby dragon. He rounded the corner…

They waited patiently. Naruto counted down silently. As he reached 0 a foot came round the corner. The dragon launched itself at the foot clinging with sharp teeth to the old wrinkled skin. "OOOOOOOOOOOW" the old man screamed.

Sarutobi rounded the corner to see that at the other end of the corridor a baby dragon clamped its jaws around his head servant's foot. He immediately sprinted down shouting along the way, "Naruto! NO, call it off right this instant." A shamed Naruto did as he was told. "Sorry old man that my dragon bit you." The boy profusely apologized. The man in question merely smiled bowed to the boy and his master before carrying on his way. A relieved naruto leaned against the wall, "Sorry Jii-Jii."

"Its okay naruto just don't do it again. Now I was looking for you, you have a busy day ahead of you. First we are going to announce what happened to you to the village then I'm going to go for a meeting then you and your friends will be accompanying me to the council. But first let's get some food follow me to the kitchen and ask her what she wants."

They had made their way to the kitchen and had eaten a hearty meal; it turned out the dragon ate what ever Naruto ate. Soon after the meal they made their way to the hokage tower and made their way up to the roof. Spread out below them was the population of Konoha; they looked on with rapt attention, as it was not often that their leader called a village meeting.

"Good morning Konoha, I have gathered you all for a very important announcement. Konoha is free from Kyuubi!" His exclamation was received by a blank stare from the entire assembled group.

"I'm sorry, that was unclear, I shall explain. Naruto received an egg a short while ago. He looked after the egg until it hatched into a dragon. Which means naruto is Konoha's first and only Dragon rider. The dragon used its magic to purify Naruto of Kyuubi. So we are free of it." This statement was received with unbelief.

"To prove it, I shall show you Naruto and his dragon." Naruto stepped foreword nervously, however a hand on his shoulder calmed him, Jii-Jii would protect him.

"As you can see I did not lie, the whisker marks are gone and he has a dragon, and for further proof I would like a Hyuuga to check for any traces of Kyuubi." All the present Hyuuga's who could activated their bloodline limit, which allowed them to see chakra flow inside the body, did and gasp in shock and joy. Word spread that it was true and that naruto was free of Kyuubi. The crowd erupted into cheers, they were free. "Thank you for your time, as celebration today and tomorrow are public holidays. Enjoy and be merry."

He stepped down and taking Naruto's hand led him back inside the tower.

"Naruto, you are gonna have to go and get your friends and bring them to my office. While you do that I will go for my meeting, take your friends out for lunch with this money. Now run along"

Naruto ran off leaving behind a smiling Sarutobi. He turned to his office and entered, well aware of the presence that waited.

The sandaime entered his office and sat down and waited for his Visitor to make himself known. "I have heard some rumors of late. A Boy with a dragon sounds interesting. I'm glad I took an interest in that boy when I first met him, it seems to have paid off." The figure stepped foreword. He had the brown unruly hair of an Inuzuka but had only one triangular mark on his left cheek. On his right cheek he had a scar that looked as if an animal had sliced diagonally down his right cheek. He had bandages from just under his chin down. He wore a large cloak that was a dark forest green, it had a high collar and completely covered him. The Cloak was plain except for the image of a large bear paw that sliced open the Cloak, Where it sliced there were red streaks. The man seemed to perpetually smile and his eyes stayed scrunched up in an upside down u constantly.

"Ah Yaaju Seto or should I call you the Beast master as the Bingo books have named you. Have you made a decision on your career, because I have a suggestion for you that I am sure you would be interested in?"

"Sounds intriguing, what are you planning old man, spit it out, I want to know." Sarutobi smiled, he knew his plans would work. " Well, Seto, I was wondering if you would like to be a sensei, I believe it's time to bring back the Beast master Squad, and this time you will be able to prevent any broken hearts. What do you say?"

The man's smile faded, as he took on a thoughtful look. "You know what, I think it's time I moved on and attempt to atone for my sins. I accept." Sarutobi smiled, "Good then lets put it to the council. But first we need to find the proposed squad. They should be at Ichiraku's ramen bar, which is your favorite eating spot isn't it?"

At the same time Naruto had found Shino and Kiba and they had just arrived at Ichiraku's to see the sandaime and a man sit down for a meal. Naruto looked nervously around and put a hand to his necklace, "Jii-Jii who is with you, can we join you or should we go somewhere else, I don't want to disturb your meeting."

Sarutobi smiled at the boy's manners and insight, it was good that the boy was not being brash. "Come Naruto, Kiba and Shino come join us for a meal. Said boys quickly joined the hokage and placed their order. "Hey there Kids, my names Yaaju Seto, what are your names?" the kind visitor asked. The boy's all introduced themselves. The Group ate in relative silence as the boy's spoke to each other leaving the two adults to sit in silence. They paid for their meal and all turned to the hokage. "Okay guys now that we are all fed we need to go to the council meetings, Follow Seto and I." They made their way to the council chamber.

The Council chamber was a large room with circular Set of benches that was three rows high. In the middle was the speaker's area and all the spectators or councilors sat in the surrounding levels of benches. As the group waited in the middle, all the clan heads of Konoha filed in the top two rows and important merchants filed into the Bottom row. Once they had all settled in the Sandaime began the meeting. "Good morning all and thank you for showing up on such short notice but I have a plan I would like to put into place however I wasn't the villages support as I implement my plans." The assembled people looked to each other in confusion; no one knew what their leader was on about.

"I wish to create a new beastmaster squad with the people you see before you-"

"Hokage-sama, Sorry to interrupt, but the last squad failed horribly, are you sure this time will be different." No one but Naruto noticed the Man next to him clench his fists at the mention of the previous squad; Naruto knew he would have to learn more about this Seto guy. "That is why Yaaju Seto will be the squad leader as he knows what went wrong and can rectify the problems."

At this statement Seto looked up determination etched into his profile, "I will not fail my team this time round, I will atone for my mistakes and will make this the best Squad ever."

The councilman looked relieved however another posed a new problem, "I believe this will be a good idea but the children are too young to be ninja's so why approach us now?"

Sarutobi answered the question, "That is a good question, I thought that if they were trained lightly from young, when they become genin they will be Stronger in terms of teamwork and it is to help train them to get along better with their partner animals. They will merely be instructed in basic chakra control, animal care and light teamwork training. They will also carry on learning their family Techniques. Now may we put this to a vote? All in Favor?"

The majority voted for it's passing so the plan was official. Sarutobi turned to the kids and said, "I have already spoken to your parents, and in naruto's case as his legal caretaker it has been decided that you three will be a team under Yaaju Seto-san. Now if you will follow him he wants to have your first meeting."

The boy's turned to the smiling man who beckoned them to follow him. He spoke as he took them to the Village Gates. "Ok guys from now on you will call me Seto-sensei, we will be going on a week long journey, you will not be able to get anything from home or even say goodbye, this will be a team training week. I have told your parents via messengers and they were at the meeting so they understand what's going to happen."

By now they had reached the gates where the hokage waited, three scrolls in his hand, he handed each one a scroll and said, "This scroll holds a letter from your family and some supplies as well as warm clothes. You will have to figure out how to open them to get what's inside." He smiled and bid them goodbye as the three 6 year old kids and their new sensei left on a training week.

"Woohoo! We are going on a journey!" Naruto shouted excitedly. They all laughed and carried onward leaving the village and a smiling old man behind.

There you go chapter 5. What do you guys think? Review.

Dragon names still needed, sensei is finished, and he has name powers and a dark past.

Thanks again.
