Chapter five ^^

Happy reading

"Naruto, come here, I want to give you something." Iruka said with a smile. "Close your eyes," There was a rusting as Iruka removed his own headband and tied it around Naruto's head.

"Alright, you can open them now." Iruka said once he was sitting in front of the boy.

"Congratulations, you pass!" Iruka and Minato said at the same time.

~~~~~~~~~~Start Chapter~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto was so happy that he passed that he almost forgot that he let his little secret out, almost.

'Iruka can you take that scroll back to the Hokage, I would do it my self, but I need to talk to Naruto. That and I think a floating scroll might freak him out.' Minato asked as he walked over to his son.

"Sure, I wish we could have talked again for different reasons, but it was still nice to talk to you. If I see Kakashi I will tell him that everything is alright." And with that, Iruka left the pair.

"What did he mean by 'talk again' ?" Naruto asked as he started walking back home.

'Well we would talk at your parent- teacher meetings.' Minato said as he caught up with him.

"You went to those?"

'Yes, but that's a story for a another time. For now we need to talk about what happened tonight'

"What's to talk about? I was tricked by an evil teacher."

'Let's start with you failing, and end with how long you've known about the Kyuubi.' Minato said as the duo came upon their home. Once they got inside, they saw a very pissed off red-haired woman.

'Naruto Uzumaki you are grounded for six months ...'

"SIX MONTHS!"

'Now, now Kushina, there is more to the story, then what meets the eye.' Minato said hoping to calm down the woman.

"Yeah, I was tricked!" Naruto all but yelled.

'Yes, but if you hadn't failed, then Mizuki wouldn't have had a reason to tell such a story. So you're grounded for two weeks.' Minato said in his Hokage voice.

"TWO WEEKS!" Both Kushina and Naruto yelled for different reasons.

'Yes, two weeks. One week for sealing the scroll, and another for not using your head. I know you are a smart, you just need to start using that head of yours.'

"So, you're grounding me for failing the exam?" Naruto said in a rather loud voice.

'I didn't say that. You're grounded because if you used your common sense then you would have seen though Mizuki story. I don't care if you become a shinobi, or not. As long as you were happy with what you choice to do. We are ohana, and ohana means ...' Minato said looking at his wife.

"Family"

'Family means no one gets left behind or ...' Kushina said looking at her son.

"Or forgotten. I know, I know, and if it's worth anything I am sorry I failed."

'You know Minato, now that Naruto is grounded he can't have any Ramen.' Kushina said with anger in her voice, she was bitter that she had worried over Naruto. It wasn't the fact that he made her worry, but because the event was handled without her input.

"What?"

'She's right, Ramen is a privilege, not a right. We will go to the market tomorrow and get different things. Naruto can you do me a favor, could you stop talking so loud, people will think you're talking to your self.'

"Wouldn't be the first time." Naruto said under his breath.

'On a different note, Naruto, why don't you tell us how long have known about the Kyuubi?'

'He knows about it, how?' Kushina asked in a low voice.

'Mizuki attacked and told him, but he somehow already knew about it. Naruto can you please answer the question.' Minato had started out strong, but he ended in a whisper.

"I have always kinda known, but I didn't know for sure until I started to learn how to become a shinobi. The first thing they taught us in history is the Kyuubi attack, and they went into detail, to much if you ask me. That's when the nightmares started. At first it was just the feelings of fear, hatred, regret, the smell of blood, and the fuzzy outlines. As these nightmares continued the clearer the picture became. I was also having these nightmares closer and closer together. I would have one once in a blue moon, then once a month, then, once every two weeks, now I am having them once a week. By the time the full picture came into view I had learned the transformation jutu for my sexy jutsu. So, I transformed into a classmate of mine and went to the library. There I learned that you can't kill the Kyuubi, only seal it away. And, who was it's last host was. Don't worry though, I burned the books, that way no one else could read them. Then I kinda was able to piece together the rest, the fact that everyone in the village hates me, well not everyone, the fact that the attack happened on the day I was born, I hear the whispers of people calling me demon. It wasn't that hard. While mom was giving birth the Kyuubi broke out of his seal, and dad died sealing it in me. I only have one question, why didn't you tell me about what was inside of me."

'We didn't know how you would take it, so we decide to tell you when you became or a shinobi, or 16, which ever came first.' Kushina said next to Naruto. During his little speech, both of his parents had came over to his side and dropped to their knees.

'I was also scared that you might hate me.' Minato said in a small voice. Everyone was shocked by his confession.

"Dad I could never hate you, either of you. You both gave up your lives to protect the village. I couldn't be prouder. I get to say my father not only died protecting this village, but he also lead it. Though no one will believe me." Naruto said said the last part with a little laughter in his voice. At that point Minato thew his hands around Naruto and tried to hug him. He left his arms hovering where he wanted them to be, so they wouldn't go threw him.

"Mom, dad, do you mind if I go to bed, a lot happened today, and I'm pretty tired?" Naruto asked after his father let him go.

'Sure honey, goodnight.' Kushina said still a little shocked from what she heard.

'Night kid'o.' The fourth said ruffling Naruto's hair. although, his hand just went right through the boy's head.
