18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18..18
"There is only one way to make a scar like that and it looks too old to be made by Orochimaru. Naruto... would you mind explaining to me how you ended up with a scar from a Chidori?" Kakashi's visible eye locked into Naruto's not letting anything pass by him.
'Damn it! I can't exactly lie this time, but how am I going to tell him without getting attacked for being an imposter or something?!' Naruto thought, slightly biting his lip. "Wh-what are you talking about Kakashi-sensei?"
"Right, play dumb. He won't suspect anything then!" The fox rolled his eyes. "Unless something happens in the next few seconds, you might have to come clean, Kit." Kyuubi said.
Kakashi began reaching into his kunai pouch slowly, hoping the blonde wouldn't notice. "I've had my suspicions about you. I've seen you do things that no Genin should be able to do. Granted, the fox could be teaching you some moves; however that still doesn't answer all the questions. Not to mention that ever since you graduated, you have been acting differently than from what I've seen myself and what I've heard from Iruka... So tell me, what is it you're hiding?" Kakashi's eye narrowed as Naruto sighed.
"And I thought I was doing so well!" Naruto adjusted himself on the bed, taking his arm out of the sling and hanging his feet over the end. "Oh well. Better late than - bwark!!" As soon as Naruto tried to stand up, Kakashi pushed him back down using the blunt end of the kunai at his throat. "SHEESH!" Coughing and rubbing his throat, he sat up once again "I was going to tell ya eventually...though you probably won't believe me... but honestly come on!" Kakashi's eye narrowed further. "Wow, last time you looked at me like that was when you found out that I burnt a limited edition of Icha Icha!" Naruto chuckled dryly, trying to get the older man to lighten up. Kakashi put his kunai away but still glared at the young bodied blonde.
"I don't recall that ever occurring" He said, watching Naruto attempt to stand again.
"Well it hasn't... yet... and hopefully it won't because you personally guarded and took away all the accessible ramen from me..." Kakashi raised a brow, but remained tense and wary. Naruto then smirked, noticing he was confusing the man. "You know, when I was your age I-"
"I'm 26, Naruto."
"Ha I'm... Well, I'm 24 so nnnn!" Naruto stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry.
This caused Kakashi to do a face fault "And how is it that you are supposedly 2 years younger than me?" He asked, picking himself off the floor.
"Well, outwardly I'm 13, but I'm really 24, believe me. Actually, I was 23 but I had a birthday... um... eleven years..." Naruto put his fingers down once he had counted. "I got sent back eleven years..."
"What do you mean sent back?" Kakashi asked, now somewhat starting to relax.
"Well, see, we were fighting Orochimaru and just as he was about to die he did this weird jutsu. It sucked me in it and was supposed to basically destroy me, but Kyuubi altered it so it sent me back eleven years into the past..." Naruto nodded and took a breath. "You were there and copied the move with your Sharingan and, apparently with the help of half the village's shinobi, you were able to do another one of those jutsu with the alteration and Tsunade went in hoping to find me... She was hoping it was transdimensional or something...like I just got sent away..."
Kakashi just stared at his blonde student. "You're right, I don't believe you" He shook his head to clear it. "But, it's not like I have much choice now, hmm?... Well it would explain a few things... like how you knew my name when we first met and I hadn't told you yet... but still that story is just..."
"Confusing? Hard to believe? Don't get me started! I'm the one who has to deal with this! I was going to be a father before this happened!! I had twins!! You know how annoying it is to have to wait another 11 years before I can see them?!" Naruto flailed his good arm in the air causing him to fall off the bed and onto the floor... "If you don't believe me, fine, but talk to Tsunade. She is almost in the same boat as me..." Naruto said, struggling to stand.
Kakashi nodded but gave Naruto a slap on the back causing the blonde to fall down again. "Well, good to know you're not an imposter then! And Naruto? Who is, err... will be the lucky lady?" Kakashi's eye turned into a U once more and Naruto swore the Jounin had an evil smirk in place.
Naruto stared at his teacher. "That went better than I thought..." Naruto commented, sitting back on the bed. "But can you try not to tell anyone? 'Cause I'd like to keep people from asking awkward questions...although it feels good to tell someone..." Naruto said, sighing.
Kakashi nodded "I will have to bring this to the Hokage though..." Naruto nodded and sighed again. "You still didn't answer my first question... the scar from the Chidori?"
"Well, see, for the second half of the exams - Oh, and by the way, we're going to be invaded during the second half. At least I don't have to come up with some weird excuse on how I know this now - Anyway... you taught Sasuke the Chidori." Naruto's eyes saddened and Kakashi didn't like where this was going. "After the exams were over, a few months or so later Sasuke begun to be manipulated through the curse mark and Orochimaru tried to take him away. Sasuke didn't exactly fight it too much, with his wanting for power and all. When I met up with him, we fought, and, well..." Naruto made a fist with his left hand and lightly punched on his scar. "Needless to say, Kyuubi had fun trying to heal it... I think the only reason it followed me back was because it went so deep; deeper then flesh... And the fox was saying how my muscles had a memory which helped me keep my strength..." (1)
Kakashi smiled slightly, now understanding why Naruto ended up killing Orochimaru rather than injuring him. 'No doubt the Kyuubi helped Naruto beat him though.' "Alright. Thank you... I'll warn the Hokage as well about the invasion... and, Naruto?" 'Considering how he was talking about Sasuke, no doubt that they eventually became great friends... poor kid...'
"Yeah?" Naruto asked, looking to the Jounin with sadness evident in his eyes as he recalled the event
"Do you think it might be different with Sasuke since the seal was removed and Orochimaru is dead?" Kakashi asked, his voice saddened and his face crestfallen 'Naruto, I'm sorry...'
"I hope so, I really do..." Naruto answered, looking to the side. "Oh, one more thing... You're sorta good with seals, right?" Naruto asked, changing the mood and pulling at some bandages that covered his stomach.
Kakashi nodded. "Yes." He watched as Naruto took off a few bandages, peeling them back.
"Do you know how to get rid of this one?" Naruto asked, channelling chakra and allowing the seal over his belly button to appear along with Orochimaru's seal. Kakashi blinked at it before rubbing his chin and nodding.
"I've read about that that. The Five Pronged Seal... it is supposed to stop the flow of chakra, rendering the opponent helpless and unable to do jutsu. In your case it probably just stopped the Kyuubi's chakra source..." Kakashi opened a scroll from his pouch and read a moment, mumbling to himself. "Alright I'll try to do it... I'm not making any guarantees. I've never done one of these before..."
Naruto nodded as he stood up and put his back facing the wall, knowing all too well that if Kakashi did it right, he would go flying. "Just tell me when you're ready and I'll generate some chakra" Naruto said putting his hand into a seal, his right arm hanging at his side unable to move his fingers.
Kakashi reeled back and began generating his own chakra. His fingers began to glow as each one lit up with a separate symbol. "Release!" He cried as he jabbed his hand into Naruto's stomach. The blonde went back but the wall caught him. Luckily it didn't crack. Naruto stood up, rubbing his head only to have it be pulled forward by Kakashi.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! What!? What?! Hey, let go of that!!" Naruto screamed as he realized what Kakashi was holding.
--
Outside the door to Naruto's room, Sakura, Haku and Sasuke were returning to see if Kakashi was done talking with Naruto yet. Haku was about to knock when he heard Naruto scream from inside.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! What!? What?! Hey, let go of that!!" Haku blinked, as did the rest of Team Seven, and they silently and unanimously decided not to go in.
"I just want to look at it!" They heard Kakashi scream.
"Get your hands off that - quit pulling so hard! That thing is attached you know!!"
"How did that get there?" They heard Kakashi ask.
"How the hell do you think?!"
"It's soft and fuzzy!"
"Let go, or so help me-!"
"You've kept it hidden all this time! Wow, I'm impressed!"
Sakura and Sasuke backed away from the door "I think they're still busy." Haku said as he also began walking away. Team Seven then bolted down the hallway, hoping to never hear their sensei screaming things like that again.
"Next time, I'll knock" Sakura said as she ran. Haku looked confused but, before he could ask why, Sakura answered. "You turn everything you touch into something no one cares to hear or have mental images of!"
--
Back inside the room Kakashi was still pulling at Naruto's tail and ear. "Let go already!" Naruto yelled pulling out his ear from Kakashi's grasp.
"You still didn't tell me how you got these..." Kakashi said, turning to rubbing Naruto's tail to his cheek, giggling slightly.
"It's a side effect of using and merging with the Kyuubi's chakra" Naruto said quietly into Kakashi's ear. "I've been using chakra to hide them, but when you released the seal, I guess the sudden burst caused me to lose control of the jutsu..." He sighed to himself. 'I've gotta get Tsunade to teach me how to store chakra in a permanent disguise... 'course I don't want a diamond on my forehead...'
Kakashi giggled as he rubbed Naruto's tail again. "You know, usually in my books It's the woman who put on the animal 'accessories' for the men and-"
"Don't even..." Naruto warned, trying to grab his tail back.
"Aww, you almost look like a little fox now." Kakashi said, teasing the blond.
At that moment a slight shuffling noise sounded outside the door, though the two inside paid it no mind.
Naruto smirked. "Yeah, and I bite like one too!" He said as he clamped down on Kakashi's hand causing the Jounin to yelp in pain. Naruto, now free of Kakashi's, hands grabbing at his ears and tail quickly replaced the jutsu, making them disappear, all the while still biting onto Kakashi's hand.
"Now you let go of me!" Kakashi screamed as he shook his arm.
"No way, this is payback!" Naruto managed to say without letting go.
"Oh come on! I didn't use my teeth at least!"
"SO?! I'm still causing you pain and that makes it payback!"
"WELL I DIDN'T SQUEEZE THAT HARD!!"
"LIKE HELL YOU DIDN'T!! YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT POP!!"
"LET GO NARUTO!!" And with that he flung his student to the opposite wall. Kakashi looked at his hand which now had a few teeth marks in it and was covered in drool. "Oh, by the way, Iruka got you some new clothes. They're over there. I'm leaving now to, umm..." Kakashi paused a moment, unable to think up an excuse. "I'm just leaving. We'll talk more about this later." Kakashi eyed his student, making sure Naruto knew WHAT he wanted to talk about later
Kakashi went over to the door, wiping his hand on his pants. When he opened it, he saw the rest of his team there, all wide eyed. Kakashi cleared his throat. Sakura, Sasuke, and Haku had returned in hopes that they were done with... whatever it was they were doing, only to be poised to knock once again for the screaming to start. Sakura was the one at the door, fist ready to knock. Kakashi suddenly realized what they had been screaming and what it must have sounded like behind the door. He sweat dropped.
As Kakashi took a few steps forward it snapped the three out of their wide eyed trance. Just as Kakashi was about to speak, Sakura screamed and took off, yelling at the top of her lungs. "I'M CURSED!! I'M CURSED!! HAKU GAVE ME THE DIRTY CURSE!!" Sasuke and Haku sweat dropped, but ran after her, not wanting to talk to the Jounin.
Kakashi walked away to find the Hokage, a little shaken, only now understanding just what it must have sounded like he was doing with his student. He quickly pulled out his little orange book and walked away. Hinata, on the other hand, was walking towards Naruto's room, having heard he was up. She almost ran into Sakura, who was screaming about being cursed, but at the last minute sidestepped to the wall.
Once Hinata reached the door, she blushed and twiddled her fingers before opening the door. She didn't really know weather or not she wanted to know what Sakura was yelling about. Naruto heard the door open and turned his head around to see Hinata staring at him. Naruto and Hinata both screamed and Naruto grabbed for the pillow to cover his rear.
Hinata promptly fainted. Naruto ran into the back room and quickly got changed. once he had pants on... at least... He came back and put Hinata on his bed. He then hurriedly put his shirt on with a little trouble due to the cast on his right arm. Naruto took a quick look to Hinata, wondering if he should wake her up, but decided against it for both their sakes. He instead decided to wait and see what happens.
As he looked over the love of his life, he notices something. Around her neck was a pearl and shell necklace. Naruto smiled, remembering it as being the necklace he had given her before the trip to Wave. 'Probably hasn't taken it off since.' He thought. Naruto ran a hand through her hair and moved it down her cheek. He stayed like that for a few minutes with her head in his hand reminiscing about the woman she'd turn out to be.
Naruto slowly leaned in and was about to kiss her on the forehead when Hinata woke up. She blushed, screamed loudly, and hit him. Before fainting again. Naruto blinked and took off out of the hospital room to let the nurse know that Hinata was in there, a blush on his own face. Poor Hinata would probably never be the same... after seeing Naruto's naked ass that is...

(1) If you don't quite understand what I mean by this, basically, because the wound was deep and went through muscle, he kept the scar because of muscle memory which was mentioned waaaay back in one of the earlier chapters. Yay for barely noticeable foreshadowing!! Also, it was more mental scaring then anything so his muscles remember the Chidori. Long story short, the attack went through his muscle and was so deeply in his mind the muscle memory made the scar show... eventually...
Congrats to Probing Question who guessed the closest right here's a cookie for you! Now, if you wanna see the guess that was made you can find them in the reviews for last chapter :P

Umm, yea, so untll next time, tata for now!
