Anyway enjoy!


The Uzumaki's

Naruto stuttered and fumbled for words before he settled on a glare. "Teme," He said to the raven.

All heads in the class turned to the blond as he spoke too loud. Sasuke smirked and rest his head on his laced fingers. The blond growled as he turned toward the window looking out to the field.

Naruto sighed and thought back.

"Why do they have no ears?" A five year old Naruto asked his brother, pointing to a small group of children playing on the playground.

"We are part of a unique clan," Kyuubi explained briefly.

"Uzumaki."

"Yeah, the Uzumaki clan is a special clan of people with fox ears." The red head sighed. "Our extra ears allow us to hear things that others cannot."

"Why?" The young blond asked.

"I'll tell you when you're older."

"Oh~ Nii-san you always say that."

It wasn't until Naruto was in hospital, did Kyuubi tell him about thier clan - dispite Naruto's pleading. He had told Naruto the history of the Uzumaki's, but had waited until Itachi had left before doing so.

According to Kyuubi, the Uzumaki's were the ninth and final clan to create a deal with one of the nine tailed beasts. One of the Uzumaki's earliest ancestors had created a contract with the nine tails. The beast was to protect the Uzumakis and in return the Uzumaki's were to allow the beast to reside in their village and the Uzumaki's served the beast in every way.

However, said ancestor was unhappy with their arrangement; he wanted more. More power, more riches, more, more, more. The Uzumaki's were a clan specialised in sealing and so the man sealed the fox demon inside of his newborn daughter. She was the first Jinchuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox.

Since then every man and woman born into the Uzumaki clan, was born with the ears of a fox and the sealing of the beast was also given to the next child born into the family line.

This tradition was continued through the clan until Naruto's mother, Kushina.

Naruto had asked who the next Jinchuriki was, but Kyuubi had changed the subject.

"-ruto," Shikamaru said, shaking the blond's shoulder. "Naruto, come on."

Kiba was at the door to Kakashi Hatake's class unable to stay still. "Come on, Fox Boy, we have gym." Kyuubi had allowed Naruto to let a few of his

Naruto was out of the class before anyone could say anything more.


"Man, I thought gym was gonna be fun today," Kiba whined as he jogged next to Naruto.

"You like running, Dog Breath!" The blond reminded him.

"With Akamaru!" The brunet threw his arms around, Naruto had to duck to avoid being hit. "I like running with Akamaru not just running!"

"Oh stop, whining and come on!" Naruto yelled and took off down the track. Their jog soon turned into a race and Naruto was having the time of his life. He always enjoyed running with Kiba, he was so easy to set off, and was one of Naruto's best opponents. But he wasn't quick enough.

The two ran a few more laps before Naruto finaly ran forward, leaving Kiba in the dust. The blond was waiting for his friend at the finish line.

"That." Pant. "Wasn't fair!" Kiba stood with his race red and sweating next to the blond who looked as though he could run a hundred more laps. "Aren't you beat?"

"Nope!" Naruto said enthusiastically, grinning madly. "You're just unfit!"

"No, I'm not! I'm just not from a clan with-" Naruto put a hand over his mouth to silence him.

"Shh, you know how Kyuubi hates telling people about our clan!" The blond hissed.

"How will he know? Do you tell him?"

"No, of course not, but he's Kyuubi, he always knows!"

Their arguement went on for a little while longer before Gai-Sensei blew his whistle and yelled, "Come in, my youthful students!" To be frank, Naruto was both surprised and a little frightened when he first met Gai, it had been the first time Naruto had seen a fully grown man - or any man - wearing a green leotard. But after a few weeks the blond got used to it and was surprised to see the man wearing anything else - which he did rarely.

By the time lunch came Kiba and Naruto were giddy with excitement. The brunet had accidently let it slip about a surprise party they were having for the blond in a few weeks time.

"You told him didn't you?" Shikamaru asked without taking his head up from the desk.

"I'm sorry, Shika!" Kiba said clasping his hands as if he was praying. "I didn't mean to, I swear, it just came out."

Shikamaru sighed and the two othre boys sat down with their food. Naruto was just about to dig into his ramen when a very loud, very high squealing shot through the cafeteria.

"Not again!" Shikamaru said, covering his ears. The lazy brunet got up with his lunch and left the building. The remaining two boys looked at each other as the source of the squealing entered the hall. Naruto put his hands on his head, over his fox ears and Kiba winced at the sudden noise. A tall head of raven hair walked into the hall and looked for a seat, ignoring the hoard of fangirls screaming in his wake.

"Ugh, Teme!" Naruto yelled, the noise close to unbareable.

The raven turned in his direction and smirked. "Dobe?" he said.

Kiba looked between the two and asked if they know each other. "Yeah, I met the Teme a few years back," Naruto replied.

"You are still a Dobe," Sasuke said.

Naruto looked as though he was going to reply when a mop of fiery red hair entred the room, the fangirl's squeals turned into a loud chatter. "Hi Gaara!" Naruto yelled happily

The boy nodded and walked to sit with Neji Hyuuga before Naruto carefully took his hands off of his head and briefly saw Sasuke freeze.

As the raven watched Naruto lift his hands away from his head he saw the blond's hair rustle slightly. There was no wind and the blond seemed to still afterwards, feeling the change.

Sasuke wanted to know why the blond stiffened suddenly and why the look on his face was of fear and knowing. He had seen the same look on Kyuubi's face a few times also.

He decided to ask Itachi about the Uzumaki's.


So, what'd ya think?

I hope it was alright, If I missed anything lemme know on a PM or Review!

I thought to briefly introduce Gaara and Neji in this chapter would be a good idea but you tell me... there will be more from the two in later chapters!
