Chapter 3: Finally we get to THIS!

(AN): Hello everybody! This time around the chapter will be a little longer, and I apologize for ending it so soon last time. It just seemed fitting to end it there. I would also like to thank and credit Hanmac for giving me such wonderful ideas to incorporate in this story. Honestly, the questions he's been asking me have helped so much. If any of you out there feel you need a good critique for wiring, look him up and send him a rough draft.

This time, we're jumping to the very end of genin exams. But before that, a small summary of the time jump.

The revelation never left the room, for fear of the Hokage's wrath. Naruto instantly cheered up, and was rarely ever down again. Naruto convinced everyone to treat him the same as before, albeit with a little more kindness. Naruto continued to be the class clown, but also worked his butt off in front of everyone. Now no longer the worst in class, Naruto continued to gain a little respect from his peers.

Okay, that's that. Oh, one more thing: for those of you who asked why this is a Naruko story, you're about to find out.

~Four Years Later, at the End of the Exams~

"Argggghhhhh! Dammit! Why the hell can't I use the clone jutsu!?" Naruto screamed to the heavens. Naruto was sitting atop the Hokage Monument, seriously pissed off about not passing the exams. "For cryin' out loud! I worked my ass off to get even one clone to appear! That was my best attempt yet! Dammit!"

"Hey, Naruto," Mizuki said. "Upset you didn't pass the exam?" Plastered on his face was kind concern, but underneath was pure hatred.

"Yeah, more like pissed. Dammit! Now I'm going to be left behind!" Naruto clutched his head in hands shaking with anger.

"Well, I don't if should tell you this, but there is a second exam," Mizuki said, luring him in.

"What is it!?" Naruto shouted instantly.

"The exam works like this: you have to steal the scroll of sealing from the Hokage Tower and master a jutsu before you get caught. It's that simple." Mizuki said with a smile.

"How long do I have?" Naruto asked.

"You have until sunrise tomorrow, so that gives you about fourteen hours from now. But, if you're not up for it, don't do it. Okay? Just give it some thought." Mizuki said before walking away. "If you are up for it, go to cabin in training ground three. I don't count towards catching you, because I'm the overseer for this exam. See yeah."

'Hmm, I wonder if I should do it' Naruto thought. As he meditated on the issue, he unconsciously slipped into the mindscape. 'What the-? Where am I?' Naruto got up and looked around. All he saw was steel walls and pipes forming a corridor, and ankle high water all around him. Curious, Naruto followed the corridor until he came upon the prison for the Nine Tails

'Well, how nice it is to be graced with your presence, jailor.' The Nine Tails said with malice in his voice.

'Jailor? Wait, you're the Nine Tails?' Naruto said with astonishment.

'Indeed I am. And what of it?' The Nine Tails asked vehemently.

'Well, to be honest, I kind of want to apologize. I mean, here you are inside me for twelve years, and I don't even know you. Say, do you have a given name? I mean "Nine Tails" isn't exactly a name, but an observation." Naruto said sheepishly.

'Kurama… My name is Kurama.' Kurama said slowly.

'It's nice to finally meet you, Kurama.' Naruto said with a huge goofy grin on his face.

'So, what did you come here for, other than just to ask for my name?' Kurama said, obviously disgruntled. 'Did you come here to free her?'

'Her? What do you mean?' Naruto asked, puzzled.

'I'm talking about you twin sister. Didn't you know you had one?' Kurama asked, bored.

'No, I didn't know I had one. You said something about freeing her. How do I do it?' Naruto asked, shocked that he had living family.

'Take this drop of chakra, and with it, perform the hand signs Boar, Snake, Ox, Tiger, Turtle, and Rabbit. This is the first step, and the next step will see you to your sister.' Kurama explained slowly, hiding his true goal.

'Okay, what's the next step?' Naruto asked before performing the hand signs.

'The scroll of sealing contains the final step: The Body-Double Unsealing Jutsu.' Kurama said with a serious tone. 'Don't perform the first step until you have the scroll in hand.'

'Roger. And Kurama, thank you.' Naruto said before exiting the mindscape.

"Now to find that scroll," Naruto mumbled, heading to the Hokage Tower.

Naruto entered the tower quickly and quietly, not drawing any attention to himself. Within minutes, Naruto had the scroll and was on his way to training ground three. No one suspected a thing until the night watch found the scroll missing.

Naruto reached the training grounds before the sun had set, and instantly started working to free his sister. Naruto unrolled the scroll until he found what he was looking for, noting the shadow clone jutsu for later. Using the chakra Kurama gave him, Naruto performed the hand signs he had been taught by Kurama.

His body started heating up, giving off steam in the cold air, and masking his transformation. When the steam cleared, Naruto was no longer a boy.

"What the hell!? Why am I a girl!?" Naruto shouted. 'Unless you share the same form as your sister, she cannot be released. Hence why you were sealed as a boy.' Kurama said smugly from inside Naruto's head.

"You perverted old fox, you're lucky you're stuck in that cage." Naruto said with a look so menacing, even Kurama flinched from it. 'Yep, just like your mother.' Kurama said quietly. Fortunately for him, Naruto didn't hear.

"Let's just get this over with." Naruto read the teachings for the Body-Double Unsealing jutsu and found that Kurama was right. Performing the hand signs for the jutsu, Naruto suddenly felt as if his body was being torn apart on a molecular level, the pain almost causing him to black out. A part of him split of and grew, stopping at the same size as Naruto. When all was said and done, two identical girls sat facing each other.

"Hey sis, nice meet you." Naruto said weakly.

"Nice to meet you, too, bro, or should I call you sis now?" The twin teased.

"Right now, I don't really care. But what's your name?" Naruto asked.

"Don't know. Kurama just called me kit." The twin stated.

"Well, what about Kirin?" Naruto suggested.

"Okay!" Kirin agreed happily.

Naruto took the chance to look his sister up and down. What he saw made him realize something.

"Wait a minute… Ack! You're naked!" Naruto shouted, scrambling back towards the cabin. "Let me see if some spare clothes are inside, okay? Be right back!"

Naruto darted inside the cabin grabbed the first shirt and pair of pants he saw and rushed back to Kirin. "Here, put these on." He said while looking away, blushing like a tomato.

Kirin quickly donned the clothing, realizing Naruto's embarrassment. "So from what I saw while inside you, we're here to take a back door exam, right?"

"Yeah, that's right," Naruto confirmed.

"Then let's get to it! Don't give me that 'what are you taking about' look. I refuse to be left behind. If I take this exam with you, and because I was in every single class you were, we can graduate together." Kirin explained.

"Oh! Now I get it! Good idea." Naruto praised.

~Early the Next Morning before Sunrise~

"Haa…Haa… Do you think…? We got it down?" Naruto panted.

"Yeah… We got it… Now we just … Have to show Mizuki-sensei." Kirin responded.

"You know, Kirin. You're pretty good. Definitely better at chakra control than me." Naruto observed.

"Not too bad yourself, Naruto. You out class me in taijutsu, that's for sure." Kirin responded.

"Naaaruuutoooooo! What the hell kind of prank is this!?" Iruka yelled as he walked menacingly to the duo.

"Guess the jig is up, eh Kirin?" Naruto said.

"Yeah, but does he know that, Naruto?" Kirin asked.

"Know what? And why the hell are there two of you, and as girls?" Iruka demanded.

"Well Mizuki-sensei told me about this back door exam for the academy. While I was debating whether or not I should take it, I sort of found out I had a sister sealed inside me. So I took it, and used the Body-Double Unsealing jutsu to free her. Turns out that in order to seal her inside me in the first place, we had to have been born identical twins. Anyway, after that, we practiced all night long to master a jutsu from the scroll."

"Wait, you said Mizuki told you?" Iruka asked, shocked.

"Yep, that's right." Naruto said.

'Naruto's not lying, otherwise he would have run off already. So this is why Naruto took the scroll!' Iruka thought to himself. He heard a low humming, his hair standing up on the back of his neck. "Get down, now!" He shouted, before leaping in front of the giant shuriken.

"Oh, what's this? Has Iruka really lost his sense of vengeance?" Mizuki asked sadistically.

"Mi…Mizuki… Why?" Iruka coughed. He looked up to see Mizuki crouched on a tee branch.

"Why? I'll tell you why. The little demon deserves to die. The scroll is really just a bonus. Why are you even protecting it? Don't you want revenge?" Mizuki spat.

"I…Iruka-sensei!?" Naruto and Kirin gazed up at Iruka in shock at what they saw happening.

"Don't do this, Mizuki!" Iruka yelled.

"Don't be foolish, you know what that thing is. Naruto, do you know why everyone in the village hates you?" Mizuki said, smiling with evil pleasure.

"…As a matter of fact, I do!" Naruto yelled at Mizuki.

'What!? How does he already know!?' Mizuki thought furiously.

"Actually, I've known about it for four years now! Question is, are ready to die at the hands of the demon whose sensei you hurt!?" Naruto snarled.

"Argh, this isn't working! Guess I'll have to resort to this then." Mizuki cursed.

"Kirin!" Naruto said, "Are you ready?" Kirin nodded her affirmative.

"What a joke. Do you seriously think a brat like you will be able to beat me?" Mizuki taunted.

"One or two, probably not," Naruto began.

"But what about a few thousand?" Kirin finished. Both of them then performed that shadow clone jutsu simultaneously. A few seconds after the smoke cleared, the training grounds were covered in a mass of blond hair.

"N-no! Stay back! G-get away from me! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Mizuki screamed in pure terror.

Some short time later, Naruto and Kirin finished pummeling Mizuki. "Hey, Iruka-sensei, are you alright? You got hit pretty badly with that shuriken earlier." Naruto asked.

"I'll be fine. Hey, Naruto, Kirin, come here for a minute." Iruka said, waving them over. They walked up to him and looked at the ground, trying not to meet his eyes. "Close your eyes." Iruka said gently. Both Naruto and Kirin closed their eyes, waiting for the punishment to come. 'It's a good thing I carried the extra with me from the exam' Iruka thought to himself as he finished with his duty. "Alright, you two can open your eyes now."

The sisters opened their eyes slowly, feeling a pressure against their foreheads. They looked to each other for confirmation of the source of the feeling. They both gasped at what they saw.

"Congratulations, Naruto and Kirin, you both pass!" Iruka stated proudly.

The two girls jumped onto Iruka and performed what is known as a tag-team sensei glomp.

That Saturday morning was the first morning for Naruto as a sibling, and arguably the best morning of his life.
