The night of the forbidden scroll incident Naruto wasn't alone when he practiced that night. Someone watched from the cabin and it change not only both thier futures but the worlds. NarutoXTenten

7. Chapter 7

Over the next couple of days Naruto began to notice a change in the village. The first surprise when he was awoke at his door by a woman he recognised as a grocery store owner and she said "Hello Uzumaki-san."

Naruto said "Um, hello Mrs. Ido....Can I help you with something."

The woman smiled and said "Not really, but you see my store had a contest going on and your name was put into the drawing and you won so here is your reward. Inside this scroll is a months worth of food. I hope you find good use of it."

Naruto blinked and said "I don't remember entering any contest."

The woman said "Oh, well someone must have put your name in the box for you then. It doesn't matter, here is a reciept showing you won in case you have any doubt about it. Also feel free to come shop at my store any time you want." as she handed Naruto the scroll, reciept and quickly left.

Naruto blinked as he looked at the reciept and thought "OK....I wonder if the foods poisoned or fresh.....wow, it is fresh...and I don't see any signs of being messed with on the can food and the other items look good also."

Later on when Naruto was walking down the street he notice he was getting smiles and nods from some of the woman of the village and he thought "What's going on."

Tenten shook her head as she read a magazine in her hand and thought "They really did put him on the red list. It still blows my mind that there is a secret code known to Kunoichi that is encoded in the border around the items in this magazine. It looks like it's just a magazine on fashion and flowers but the flowers are in fact a code based on what flower and color they are is what letter they represent and the vines are spaces between words."

Tenten was broke from her thought as the bell rang over the door to her family business and she looked up and blinked as she saw Naruto and closed her magazine and said "What are you doing here Naruto."

Naruto said "Well, I was wondering if you wanted to spar today in kenjutsu."

Tenten said "I would like to but I don't get off until 3. Could we do it after that."

Naruto said "Sure....I was wondering if I could get 2 more of these swords." motioning to the swords on his back.

Tenten said "But you already have 2."

Naruto said "I know...I'm thinking about learning double swords or at least to learn to use my sword in either hand so I though that if I had a kagebunshin use 2 and I use 2 it would help me learn it quicker."

Tenten said "Um...sure, but remember your suppose to be taking it easy on training for the next day or so."

Naruto said "I know, I know...but 1 kagebunshin isn't going to hurt me when all it is doing mostly is swinging a sword."

Tenten frowned and went to the back and came out with a scroll and asked "Are you paying for this or are you putting it on your tab."

Naruto said "Tab for now until I can start missions again."

Tenten nods and pulls out the ledger before she showed the new balance to Naruto and she asked "So anything else."

Naruto bit his lip and said "Um...you haven't notice anything strange going on have you."

Tenten said "No...but I've been here all day since the Hokage gave my team today off before we start missions again...Why."

Naruto scratched his head and said "Well...things have been...off today."

Tenten asked "Oh...how so."

Naruto said "Um...well this lady who runs the grocery store down the block here came by my place and gave me a scroll full of free food and claimed I won some contest her store was having but I never entered the contest...then theres all thes looks I'm getting from the woman of the village...not all of them but pretty much anyone who appears to have been a kunoichi at one time or another."

Tenten said "Oh, how can you tell who use to be kunoichi."

Naruto said "Mom spent most of the night teaching me about my bloodline when I slept last night. I'm still not very good but I can at least tell someone who was at least a gennin when they are within 10 feet of me by their chakra levels...but I am having to focus on it a lot to do it."

Tenten nods and thought "Shit, did him getting on the Red List change people that much." and said "Well, maybe people are starting to see you for you."

Naruto scrunched his nose and said "Maybe, but I didn't think people could change that easily."

Tenten waved her hand and said "Just ignore them and go back to living your life Naruto. Odds are someone started a rumor that your some kind of lost prince or something. You know how rumors are around this town." and thought "SHIT...Did I just say that. I helped start the rumor by telling Kurenai and Anko."

Naruto thought a moment and said "I guess your right....anyways about last night, sorry for leaving you and those other 2 ladies like that. It's just..."

Tenten held up her hand and said "Naruto stop....I already know and can understand where your coming from. Your dad is a touchy subject for you but you do have to remember he was your father, better or worse. There's things about my dad I don't like but he is my family. You have only just recently found out about your family so it's harder on you so don't try to explain why you had to leave last night. Just know that if you need someone to talk to I'm all ears."

Naruto smiled and said "Thanks...so I guess I'll see you this afternoon then."

Tenten said "Yeah, dad ordering our supplies and paying the bills today but when he gets back I'll come up the mountain to see you so we can practice...just don't tire yourself out because I plan to beat you this time."

Naruto smirked and said "In your dreams." as he laughed running out the store as Tenten pulled out a kunai and thought "Smartass." before putting it back where she got it.

That afternoon when Tenten arrived at the woods a little after 3 behind the Hokage monument she saw Naruto sitting on his knees with all 4 blades around him and he had his eyes closed and said "You can come out Tenten, I know your there."

Tenten walked out from behind the tree she was hiding behind and said "So, what's up."

Naruto said "Just thinking how much of a drag it is to have my kagebunshin go up with a solid hint and then my weapon could be used against me like you did last time."

Tenten said "Yeah, I gues that could be a drag but I don't think there is anything you could do about it....So how do you want to do this."

Naruto said "One sword for now, Kenjutsu only. Lets start off slow and work our way up on speed. I'll create a kagebunshin to watch us and if he sees any openings he can point them out and we can see if we can fix them or if they are on purpose."

Tenten thought and said "Sure. Nobody on my team uses kenjutsu so I haven't really had a chance to learn much on swordplay." as she grabbed one of Naruto swords and took a stance and blinked as she saw the stance Naruto was in and asked "What's that."

Naruto smirked and said "The first kata of the Uzumaki kenjutsu style. Mom told me she knows most of your clans style also for swords so she could show you them also if you want to learn them. I only got the first Kata for mine memorized though."

Tenten nods and charges at Naruto who blocks before they begin to slash and block each other slowly picking up speed as the Kagebunshin on the side every now and then would call out something in one or the others directions.

Several hours later Tenten was holding the handle of the sword that was in the ground and she was panting and Naruto was leaning forward panting holding his sword to keep his balance and Tenten said "Damn, what a workout."

Naruto laughed and said "I can't believe how much fun that was."

Tenten laughed lightly and said "Yeah, it's like we really didn't have to say anything to have fun together."

Naruto snorts and said "Or better yet my kagebunshins learn to not to say things like that.....but he was right."

Tenten glared and said "My ass does not bounce when I block."

Naruto fell back on his butt and said "If you say so, if you say so....So did you learn anything."

Tenten sat down and said "Yeah, my slashes are to slow and my jabs leave to many openings....What the hell was with that reverse slash you did when you reversed hands in the middle of a slash. It nearly took off my head."

Naruto thought a moment and said "I don't know really. I knew when you blocked my jab and forced my arm away into that slash It left me wide open and defenseless so I used my other hand to grab by elbow to stop moving and grabbed the handle for my blade when it was nearly stop so I didn't have to work so hard to get it back in position to block."

Tenten said "I've read about a move like that before in an old book about Samurai's except the Samurai rolled with the swing and brought the strike around twice as fast as the original slash. Something about gusting winds or something like that. I don't really remember."

Naruto said "I had fun today."

Tenten smiled and said "So did I...it's strange, I've actually had more fun today then I have in a long time."

Naruto was quite for a few minutes before he asked "Did you ask your dad about the arrangement."

Tenten frowned and said "Yeah...he told me some stuff...I think I know what your mom is keeping from you but I don't want to say anything since dad wasn't completely sure about it."

Naruto frowned and asked "Is it something bad."

Tenten said "Well....no and yes. If I'm right then I know why the Sandaime Mizukage wanted your mom dead and if he's still in office may want you dead as well but if people find out about it here in Konoha then they may start to treat you like they treat the Uchiha."

Naruto frowned and asked "But what do you think about it."

Tenten bit her lip and said "Honestly...it doesn't matter to me. Your you."

Naruto who had looked down smiled a real smile and said "Tenten...even if things don't work out between us and we never become more then just friends...I want you to know that you are...special to me....I...I don't know how to describe what I feel for you but....you make all the pain...all the loneliness...everything I've ever felt bad about go away and you make me not care about what anyone else thinks."

Tenten blushed and said "Naruto...damn it Naruto...do you know how frustrating you can be. A few weeks ago I was content with my life, being on my team with Neji-kun, Lee and Gai-sensei...but now...did you know that Neji stopped me on the way here today. He asked me if I wanted to have dinner with him tonight."

Naruto eyes widen slightly and he looked down and said "Oh....I guess you probably want to go get ready then."

A rock hit him in the head and he screamed "OW...What the hell was that for." as he rubbed his head.

Tenten said "Idiot. I wasn't finished. I told him that I would like to but I had plans with you already this afternoon and I wasn't going to cancel them....A few weeks ago I would have taken that offer in a heartbeat but today I turned it down without feeling guilty at all and do you know why."

Naruto shook his head no and Tenten said "Because of you. Your parents named you perfectly when they named you Naruto. Your a living maelstrom. When I'm with you I see the effects you have on everything around you as you move everything in every direction around you and I can't help but feel the effects on myself as well. It frustrating because you came into my life like a storm and you leave your mark on everything in my life."

Naruto said "I..."

Tenten said "Shut up and let me finish....damn it." as she grabbed her head in frustration before she looked at Naruto and said "I've never told anyone that I am a clan heiress because I've seen those heiress in your class how they are treated like princess and I don't want that....I wanted to earn the respect I got and not have it handed to me just because of who I was born to....you know about that and yet you don't treat me like a princess, you treat me as you would anyone else...Even Neji would treat me different if he found out." as she shook her head.

She looked up at the sky and said "I have a love for weapons. It's the only real link I have to my clan because my clan does have a bloodline. It allows us to use any weapons perfectly. No matter the size, shape, or weight of the weapon our bodies adapt to use that weapon. It's not an instant ability but there is no weapon we can't learn to use with practice....People have made fun of me for my love of weapons including my own teammates to the point I only use standard shurikens and kunais unless absolutely neccessary but with you I don't have to fear and feel I can use anything and everything on me."

Naruto said "You shouldn't hide who you really are to make others feel better."

Tenten gave Naruto a pointed look and said "Your one to talk whiskers...by the way, are those real or are they just scars."

Naruto scratched his head and said "I think they might be real somewhat...their sensitive."

Tenten walked over and said "Really...you mind if I touch them. I've wanted to but didn't want to upset you." as she looked at his cheeks.

Naruto said "Um...sure, go ahead. Nobody ever real...ly.." as his eyes glossed over as Tenten began to rub his whiskers.

Tenten watched and Naruto reached up and grabbed her hand fast and whispered in a panting breath "Stop....please."

Tenten asked in a soft worried voice "Why."

Naruto looked at her and Tenten felt herself get flush in the face from the look of lust in Naruto eyes and he said "Because it's taking every ounce of control I have to stop myself."

Tenten got down on her knees and asked in a quite voice "Stop yourself from what."

Naruto looked at her and he leaned forward and started to kiss her when she closed her eyes slightly but enough to still see him but at the last second he moved his head to her neck and put his forehead on her shoulder and gasped out "I think you should go TenTen....if not then we will never be just friends."

Tenten who felt his head on her shoulder and felt his body trembling bit her lip as she saw his body shake and asked "Why." as she remained frozen in place.

Naruto bit his lip and whispered "Because every ounce of my being is screaming at me to take you as mine....Your scent in my nose, your heat against my skin, your breath on my hair...it's driving me crazy...please....go before it's to late." as he moved his hands that were in fist into the ground.

Tenten closed her eyes and she thought "I thought I wanted Neji...but why would he now ask me out after all this time.....is it he's finally fallen for me...or is it because he's jelous of Naruto...Naruto...you baka...why do you have to be so....you." as she slowly stood up and took a step back as Naruto kept his head down and Tenten bit her lip and said "Naruto...look at me."

Naruto slowly looked up at her and she said "I....I have something I want you to do...something that only you can do."

Naruto asked quitely "What."

Tenten said "Right now you and I are so caught up in our emotions over everything that has happened that neither of us are thinking straight....I want you to find yourself. You have hidden yourself from the world for so long you don't even know who you are...just as I have been doing by denying who and what I am all these years...I....I'll speak with my sensei and ask him to watch over us as we spar in case we get injured once a week when we meet and we will work on getting better in our kenjutsu skills and seeing how each other are doing. He'll be our shaperone to make sure we don't do something were not ready for...also...I know you had a crush on that pink haired girl for a while but she doesn't appear to feel the same way. I do know there is someone else who does like you but I won't tell you who. I want you to take a step back and look at those around you and try to find a girl to hang out with besides me. See if the feelings you have for me are the same as her and if so see if they are just you wanting friendship or more...I'm going to go an A date with Neji since I have liked him for a while and want to see where that goes but I will still be your friend and I will not chose him over you and on the days we decide to train together I will put you first. Will you agree to that."

Naruto thought a moment and nods and Tenten smiled and said "Good, now stand up and close your eyes."

Naruto blinked and asked "Huh."

Tenten said "Just do it."

Naruto got up and closed his eyes and a moment later his eyes widen as he saw Tenten step back and she said "That's the first kiss I have ever given a guy. You gave me my first kiss from a guy and I gave you my first kiss to a guy. No matter what happens in the future those are 2 memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life."

Naruto smiled a real smile and said "Those were both mine as well and I'll cherish them as well."

Tenten smiled and said "It's getting late and I need to get home."

Naruto asked "Do you want me to walk you home."

Tenten thought a moment and said "No, not today. I need some time to think to myself. Goodnight." as she turned and left.

Once she was gone Naruto whispered "Goodnight." as he picked up his swords and looked at them remembering what Tenten said and thought "There's nothing I can do about it....for now."

Over the next few days Naruto spared with his Kagebunshin while one observed them and another Kagebunshin was working on a seal array.

Finally the day came where Naruto could return to missions. When he arrived at training ground 7 he notice Sasuke and Sakura both were practicing water walking and he raised an eyebrow and said "Did I miss much." causing both to lose their concentration and fall into the water.

Sakura sputtered as she got up and screamed "NARUTO." as she started to stomp toward Naruto drawing her fist back.

Naruto rubbed 2 of his fingers on one hand together against the thumb of that hand where a seal was on each finger as he saw her approach but Sasuke grabbed her shoulder and said "Sakura stop...It was our own fault for getting distracted doing that excercise."

Naruto blinked and said "OK, who are you and what happened to the Teme."

Sasuke glared at Naruto and said "Kakashi-sensei told us that you've been working and training yourself so hard that you put yourself in the hospital from complete exhaustion which is why you were in the hospital and then had a couple days to rest. I may think your an idiot for working yourself that far without taking care of yourself but I can respect you for it as well. I hate to admit it but I tried to do what you been doing and I could only make it 3 days before I began crashing and you've been doing it a lot longer."

Naruto rubbed his head and said "Thank's...I think....So Kakashi-sensei showed you both the Water walking excercise."

Sakura said "Yes. He said we finally got good enough with the tree climbing the excercise wouldn't do us much good besides building up our reserves and Water walking would do it faster...We been using the idea of going one step at a time to get it faster."

Naruto nods and said "Anything else."

Kakashi who arrived in a swirl of leaves said "Nope, since we couldn't do missions I had them working on thier chakra reserves and stamina...how are you feeling Naruto."

Naruto said "Better...but worse...I did meet my mom though." shocking Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura.

Kakashi said "Kushina-sama. When, where."

Sakura asked "How do you know her name Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi frowned realizing his slip and Naruto waved his hand and said "It's alright sensei, Jiji was going to be releasing that info soon anyways since I've found out I'm in 2 arranged marriages."

Kakashi said "2...who." sounding surprised.

Naruto said "Well...I won't tell you who they are yet because I've only actually contacted one and we have decided to get to know each other first since neither of us are thrilled about not having a choice in our own futures. I've worked up an arrangement where if we decide that marriage between us is out then the deal will be cancelled and no hard feelings...As for the other...It's actually with the Kazekage daughter." causing all 3 other members of team 7 to nearly faint.

Sasuke asked "Why are you enganged to 2 woman and especially with one like the Kazekage daughter."

Naruto said "I do got a bloodline and I am a member of a clan like Kakashi-sensei hinted so I fall under the clan restoration law like you or I will once it becomes public knowledge and as for the Kazekage daughter...It was something the Yondaime Hokage set up so I can't say much for now. I'm expecting a reply to find out if it's still active or not. I'm kind of hoping not but..." as he shrugged his shoulders and looked away.

Sasuke said "Why would you not want to marry someone as influential as the Kazekage daughter."

Naruto blinked and looked at Sasuke for several moments and Sasuke got tired of it and asked "WHAT."

Naruto said "Sasuke...which is more important, power of emotions."

Sasuke said "Power. Emotions get in the way of completing your mission while power can only help your mission."

Naruto turned his head catching Kakashi eye who he could tell understood the depth of that question and said "It's just because I'm an idiot Sasuke. I rather marry a weak powerless woman then a strong powerful princess if it meant that I had love from the woman and no love from the princess. I guess that was why you were rookie of the year and I was deadlast, huh."

Sasuke shrugged and said "If you say so. I think your just a baka."

Naruto nods and said "Hey Kakashi-sensei, how many different elemental jutsu can you do."

Kakashi asked "Why."

Naruto said "I came up with idea for a new seal I'm working on but I need to test it against several different types of jutsu from the different elements to see how it works or don't work."

Kakashi said "Hmm...well I can do jutsu for all the elements but they may be of different strengths if I don't have affinity to some. What's the seal suppose to do."

Naruto saw the looks everyone was giving him and said "I rather not say until it's finished. I don't want people make fun of me if it doesn't work."

Sakura said "We wouldn't laugh at you, were your teammates."

Naruto smiled and said "Thanks..but Ino might get currious and use her clan jutsu on you to find out how strong you are since I heard that she is also working on water walking so she could try an impress Sasuke and might learn about it and you know how she is with gossip."

Sakura frowned and said "Yeah, I guess your right." and thought "INO, you better not be."

Kakashi said "Well if you need help like that I could use all 5 elements in different strengths to test it for you but I would have to ask a few questions about it before we did cause I don't want to get blown up or something."

Naruto said "Fair enough and it will be a little while as I want to fine tune it before I test it. So what are we doing today."

Kakashi said "I had already checked with the Hokage and got our mission and we are repairing and painting a fence. Come on."

Naruto smiled as he began to follow Kakashi and Sakura asked "So where has your mom been all these years Naruto."

Naruto looked down as they walked and said "Before I was born the Sandaime Mizukage sent an assassin to kill my mother and he used a poison on her that began to weaken her body and nearly killed her the day I was born. For my protection she was forced to leave to draw attention away from here in case the Mizukage sent another assassin to finish the job. There's more to it then that but I'm not allowed to say."

Sasuke said "But why not change your name. I mean if she did it for your protection it would be kind of stupid to leave your last name the same."

Naruto said "True...but since mom was the clan heiress and my father was an orphan himself when they were married he took her clan name as his own but only about 10 people ever knew of the marriage since it was a secret marriage if anyone were to come looking for an Uzumaki they would look for red hair and most likely green eyes, not blond hair and blue eyes that I got from dad."

Sakura asked as they entered town "Who was your father and what exactly is your bloodline Naruto. Is it that chakra sensing thing."

Naruto said "My dad was connected to Jiraiya of the Sannin spy network and for security reason related to that I am not allowed to say his name without Jiraiya, my mother or the Sandaimes approval since the information about my dad could indirectly be linked back to others connected to his spy network. If you doubt me you can ask Kakashi-sensei since he is aware of that fact as well from what I been told."

Kakashi who hid a smile behind his mask at the way Naruto dodged the question said "Yes. It's an S-rank secret because of the connection to the spy network and speaking about it could be considered treason. I ask that both of you just accept that as an answer and not bother Naruto about it unless he tells you himself meaning he's been given permission."

Sasuke and Sakura nods and Sasuke asked "What about the bloodline dobe. Is it that chakra sensing thing."

Naruto sighed and said "Actually...mom only told me a little bit about my bloodline. She told me until she thinks I'm strong enough to protect myself she won't tell me much about it but she did tell me a few things about it that I can tell you. The first is the Chakra sensing ability is actually only a side effect of the bloodline. It's not an active bloodline but a passive one. What it actually does though I don't know but she told me that it's the reason the Sandaime Mizukage sent an assassin to kill her because he feared it."

Kakashi blinked and said "Really...does it have a name."

Naruto said "Yes but like I said, mom won't tell me what it is yet. She just told me that it was given to us by the Six realm sage and it was the first bloodline." causing the other members of team 7 to go wide eyed.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and Sasuke said "No way dobe. If it was the first then people would know about it."

Naruto said "They do Sasuke, why do you think my mom almost died. From what she told me it was known to everyone in the land of Whirlpool and was the reason the Sandaime Mizukage order the Hidden mist village to attack and destroy the Whirlpool village."

Sakura said "Whirlpool...I never heard of it."

Kakashi said "I'm not surprised. A little over 20 years ago it was destroyed by the hidden mist village as Naruto said. Very little is actually known about the Whirlpool village...but one fact that was known is that nearly every bloodline in the world originated from there including the Senju, Hyuuga, and Uchiha bloodlines."

Sasuke eyes nearly fell out of his head and said "Are you sure." as he heard this.

Kakashi nods and said "Your father tried desperately to get Kushina to marry into the Uchiha clan along with Hiashi and the Hyuuga clan."

Naruto blinked and said "So the Hyuuga know about my bloodline." as he frowned and thought "If the Hyuuga know about my bloodline, could they be using Tenten and Neji somehow."

Sasuke thought "I must search my clan files to see if I can find out what his bloodline does."

Kakashi said "Well...I can't say for sure if they know...but they do know that the Uzumaki clan were the rulers of the Whirlpool village and all those with bloodlines that were there when the village was destroyed who might have escaped would follow the orders of the Uzumaki clan which there could have been a few that could have enhanced the powers of either bloodline. That was what I was told by your mother when I asked her once why she refused."

Naruto nods and Sakura asked "Wait...rulers...does that mean Naruto some kind of Prince." looking shocked.

Naruto looked shocked as well and Kakashi said "Um...I don't know...maybe. Kushina-sama didn't like to talk about her past much and like Naruto had very little respect for authority unless she trully felt you earned it."

Naruto said "I am definately asking mom about that later." as he put his hands together and said "Kagebunshin no jutsu." as single clone appeared and Kakashi asked "Was that the right amount you tried for Naruto."

Naruto said "Yeah, my controls seems a little better after my trip to the hospital. Maybe I really needed that rest more then I thought I did. It seems like I can get the right number about 60 percent of the time now. You know what to do." as he pulled out a scroll.

The clone took the scroll and walked behind Naruto and unsealed a brush and some ink and quickly drew a seal on Naruto neck near the other seal and he said "SEAL." as he sent a chakra pulse to the new seal and both seals vanished.

Sasuke said "Where did they go."

Naruto said "Oh, they are still there but the one I just made makes it where they won't appear unless I release it and it makes it where ALL seals on my body are that way." as he sent a look to Kakashi.

Kakashi nods and said "But what happens if you need to release it and can't like your injured. Is there a way for someone else to release it."

Naruto said "Blood sensei, my blood will dispell it. It's just a simple genjutsu seal really though since it was created by seals instead of handsigns it can't be seen through. It could still be detected....so enough catching up about me. Where is our mission at Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi said "Actually, we are here." as he motioned to a yard with a fence and Naruto paled as he saw what yard it was and thought "FUCK, NOT HER."

The door opened and a woman stepped out Naruto instantly recognised and thought "Shit, Kami, why do you hate me."

The woman looked at them and smiled and said "Hello, you must be the team sent to work on my fence." as her eyes landed on Naruto for a moment who looked at her while his eyes darted slightly to the left and right looking for danger.

The woman walked forward and said "Is there something wrong Uzumaki-san." as she saw his eyes looking around.

Naruto said "No Tsubaki-sama." in his best polite voice while the members of team 7 seemed shocked.

Tsubaki said "I see...well the supplies are all over there so I'll leave you to your duties." as she pointed to a stack of wood, paint cans, hammers and a few other things before she turned and walked back into the house.

After Tsubaki walked inside Sakura turned and asked "What the hell was up with that Naruto. Your never respectful to anyone so why did you show her respect."

Naruto frowned and said "Just drop it Sakura." as he walked over to the supplies and put his hands together and said "Kagebunshin no jutsu." as 10 kagebunshin appeared and Naruto said "Alright, watch your step, don't break anything, grab the supplies and lets get this finished as fast as possible." as he grabbed a hammer.

Kakashi narrowed his eye as he looked at Naruto before moving to sit down to read his book but also where he could see the house and Naruto at the same time and thought "Somethings not right here." as he saw Sasuke and Sakura getting busy as well.

45 minutes later Tsubaki walked out with a tray with 4 glasses and she walked toward Naruto with the tray and said "Would you like some water Uzumaki."

Naruto said "Thank you Tsubaki-sama. Does it matter which glass."

Tsubaki said "Not really."

Naruto nods and took one of the glasses and put it to his lips and then acted like he was swallowing he said "Thank you Tsubaki-sama." as he put the glass down beside him and got back to work.

Tsubaki then walked over to Sasuke and Sakura before offering the last glass to Kakashi who took it and whispered "Is there something I should know about between you and my student Chunnin."

Tsubaki said "Nothing that will interfere with your mission." as she turned and walked back toward the house when Naruto screamed "Ow." grabbing his hand he hit with the hammer and knocking the glass of water over as well.

Sasuke said "Be more careful dobe."

Kakashi got up and walked over to Naruto as Tsubaki came over and asked "Are you alright Uzumaki."

Naruto said "Yeah, just had an accident. It looks like I accidently spilled my water though." as he picked up the glass and looked at it and said "But I didn't break the glass."

Tsubaki said "I can see that. Would you like a new one."

Naruto said "Thank you but that won't be necessary. We won't be much longer and I would hate to cause you any discomfort."

Tsubaki nods and Kakashi said "Let me see your hand Naruto." from where he stood behind her before Tsubaki started back toward the house.

After she was a few feet away he whispered "Why did you hit your hand on purpose Naruto. I saw you hit it where you wouldn't break anything. What's going on." as he examined Naruto hand.

Naruto whispered "She's Mizuki-teme Fiance and she blames me for him being put in prison and she threatened to kill me unless I confessed Mizuki was innocent and I was responsible. I thought the water was poisoned but she let me pick which one I chose first which meant she could have poisoned Sasuke, Sakura or you and then I thought I might be in a genjutsu and there was a trap here so I broke it the only way I know how which is pain but it wasn't a genjutsu."

Kakashi nods and said "Let's get finished then and get out of here. I don't think she will do anything while I'm here and she may have been just upset at the time since she loved Mizuki."

Naruto bit his lip and said "Maybe. But I don't want to push my luck." as he got back to work.

Inside the kitchen looking out Tsubaki frowned as she removed the chakra from her ears and thought "I was upset since I love Mizuki but...Maybe I was to hard on him. Maybe it was Mizuki fault but.." as she bit her lip.

After Team 7 finished the mission and began heading back toward the Hokage tower Kurenai walked out of a store and saw them and said "Hey Kakashi, how's it going."

Kakashi said "Hm, you say something."

Kurenai glared at him a moment before she looked at Naruto and said "Hello Naruto, it's good to see you again."

Naruto smiled and said "It's nice to see you as well Kurenai-sensei, how are you today."

Kurenai said "Fine. I was wondering when you wanted to ask those questions for that seal your designing. Tenten told us you were still recovering the other night when you had to leave and figured you were trying to go get some rest."

Naruto rubbed his head and said "Yeah, something like that....um...are you busy today."

Kurenai said "No, I'm available since my team are each practicing with their clans today. Why."

Naruto looked back at Kakashi and said "Kakashi-sensei, can we make a small detour to my apartment for a few minutes. Just a few minutes. I wrote down all the questions I need answers to that seal I am making and Kurenai-sensei was going to help me and I could just give her the scroll to work on when it's available for her to...that is if you don't mind coming by my place for a few minutes to get it." as he turned to Kurenai at the end.

Kurenai shrugged and said "I don't see a problem with it but what about your teammates. I mean if your still on active duty then I don't want to get you in trouble."

Naruto waved his hand and said "No, I actually got something I was wanting to show both Sasuke and Sakura anyways and I guess this is as good a time as any...please Kakashi-sensei, this is important to me." as he shot a pleading look to Kakashi.

Kakashi said "Sure, why not. Maybe you could ask Kurenai also about pointers on breaking genjutsu some time instead of breaking them through pain. At least I'll have a valid excuse as to why I'm late this time." with an eye smile.

Naruto laughed and said "Well, would you like me to carry your bags for you Kurenai-sensei since it's a few blocks to my place and your doing this as a favor to me. It's the least I can do."

Kurenai laughed and said "Sure, it's nice to find a gentlemen with all the perverts around." as she handed Naruto the bags she had while shooting a glare at Kakashi.

Naruto said "Come on guys, follow me." as he began to walk away.

Sakura crossed her arms and said "He could have asked if we wanted to come or not."

Kakashi said "Sakura, I'm sure whatever it is he want's to show you must be important...or at least he thinks will be important.....so what seal is he making for you Kurenai."

Kurenai said "It's not actually for me but for all kunoichi. It's an anti-rape seal that will allow kunoichi to break free of bindings, restore our chakra, put a shield of wind natured chakra around us and increase our strength and speed for a few minutes, giving us a chance to escape or kill our capturers." making Sakura looked up at Kurenai as Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

Kakashi said "Really now...so he really is working on that. I thought it was just a passing thought." while Sasuke and Sakura were looking more shocked hearing Kakashi.

Kurenai said "Actually, you should hear about some of his other works...he's figured out how to remove Anko seal."

Kakashi eye went wide and asked "Are you sure." in a serious voice.

Kurenai said "Yes. All we are waiting on to do it is for Jiraiya-sama to arrive to verify his research to make sure there are not little traps that he didn't find when he examined it."

Kakashi said "I see...He's progressing faster then I thought he could. I'll have to see about getting those other books and scrolls I promised him on seals." as they walked up a set of stairs on the outside of an apartment building and Naruto was running blood across the door while sending chakra to the handle and Sakura asked "What are you doing."

Naruto said "I put security seals around all the windows and doors to my apartment making it where no one can enter it without my permission....I ask that you all keep quite about what you are about to see."

Sasuke asked "Why."

Naruto said "Just...please keep quite about it." as he opened the door and walked in.

The others soon followed and were surprised to see 10 desks in a row each with a clone of Naruto at the desk writing on a scroll in front of each of them and the group began to look around and saw scroll after scroll after scroll all over the place in different cabinets with different colors on the cabinets and Sakura said "What's with all the scrolls."

Each of the Naruto looked up and looked at Naruto who said "Just ignore them and get back to work."

The clones nod and started back writing and Kurenai asked "What's going on here Naruto."

Naruto sighed and said "I've got so many projects going on it seems like I'm forgetting more then I am learning so what I've been doing is creating 10 clones every morning when I get ready to leave. 1 clone stays here while the others head out to either work on seals, research at the libraries, work on chakra control, work on elemental control, jutsu, and a few other projects I am working on. When they get to wherever they are working they create more Kagebunshin who began to work on whatever it is they are doing and every 10 minutes one of them dispells and transfer back it's memories to me and the other clones so I have the clone who stayed here create a team that began to record whatever it was they learned, or have learned before now if I didn't have it wrote down yet, worked on, or discovered with each desk being assigned a specific subject like that one right there at the black desk is seals, the blue desk is medical knowledge, the white desk is jutsu, green desk is elemental affinities and so on and so forth. The cabinets are also based on the same principle to organize all my scrolls so I can find what I am looking for easier...now where did I put those questions."

The clone doing seals said "3rd row, 5th to the right."

Naruto walked over and said "Ah, here it is, thanks." as he walked over and handed the scroll to Kurenai who opened it and her eyes got wide and said "Woah...that is a lot of questions....and very detailed at that."

Naruto said "Oh, that remind me." as he ran to another room and came back and said "I made this as a thank you for helping me with those questions." as he pulled out a tag.

Kurenai looked at the tag and asked "What is it."

Naruto said "I call it the dress sphere seal. Basically it's probably going to be even more popular with kunoichi then the other seal I'm making. Suppose before you goto bed tonight you think over your schedule for the next day and you have tomorrow off but you agreed to meet Anko for shopping in the morning, and then you had a date to get ready for and if your husband or boyfriend and you decided to continue the date you would want to dress appropriate for it and suppose you had an early morning mission the next day. Wouldn't having to change all those times from morning wear to civilian clothing to formal wear to sleep wear and then mission wear be sort of time consuming and a pain in the ass."

Kurenai said "I suppose so...why."

Naruto said "This seal when applied looks like a flower chain tattoo but if you send chakra into the rose in the middle while also sending chakra into one of the 7 flowers around it then you could change your cloths quickly while also giving you a wash to get cleaned up and blowed dried so all you would have to worry about was fixing your hair and make up. This is basically a multiple storage seal where you put on an outfit and send chakra into one of the flowers besides the rose and it will store the cloths you have on leaving you nude where you could put another outfit on and store it where you could store up to 7 different outfits and changing between them is just by sending chakra from one to another but if you sent chakra into the rose in the middle then you would wash your entire body and dry it in less then 60 seconds and be dressed at the end of it as well so you could tell Anko you need to freshen up, walk in the bathroom and boom, 60 seconds later your in another outfit already for your date and having a shower and dried as well."

Kurenai and Sakura eyes were wide as they looked at the seal Naruto was holding and Sasuke and Kakashi were looking somewhat intrigued and surprised.

Kurenai asked "Have you tested it already."

Naruto pulled up his sleave slightly showing a seal on his wrist and he was covered in smoke and was now in an orange shirt and black pants before he was covered again and then he was in a blue shirt and blue pants before he changed back to his regular cloths and said "Yeah, I tried it and I plan to market it right after I get my seal master certification. Hopefully that will help give me a small source of income so I can work on other things without having to take so many missions."

Sasuke asked "How does the bath and dry thing work dobe."

Naruto said "Well, when you activate it you close your eyes and take a deep breath and hold it and basically what it will do is pull the water out of the air around you where you get covered head to toe in water like a layer of skin and then a wind jutsu will push the water around the body where the water will wash any dirt, sweat, blood, or anything else that is on you away including make up and this last for 20 seconds so you have to hold your breath for that long and then it drops it releases the water back into the air like condensations or was it convection...I don't remember the word but it's like water evaperates back into the air and you will have 10 seconds where it dries you letting you release your breath and take another one before a 10 second water suit will cover you again just to make sure there was no little lose mud or other things that didn't have time to get properly clean before it releases and hits you with a minor wind jutsu with a minor fire manipulation in it to heat the air to dry you faster before you are covered in your new outfit."

Sakura asked "Can I have one of those Naruto. We are teammates after all."

Naruto looked at her and said "Sakura, I'm not actually giving this to Kurenai but paying her for the work she has put into helping me with something I am working on. I figure that it will take her about 4 hours at least to get through those questions and I may have to ask her at a later date about some others that I am not aware of right now in order to help me with my research so it's only right I try and compensate her for the help."

Sakura asked "Well what about if I paid you."

Naruto looked at her and said "How about a deal instead."

Sakura asked "Huh...what kind of deal."

Naruto turned and walked over to a section that had medical scrolls and he picked up one and walked to the table in the middle of the room and said "Don't tell Jiji about this seal or he would kill me to get the info on it." as he placed the scroll on seal in the table and he sent chakra to it and another scroll appeared across from it shocking everyone and Naruto put the first scroll back where he got it and said "That was my copy seal. I can make duplicate of any seal or scroll by simply placing it on that first seal and a second one will appear so that will help me when I start mass producing seals since all I have to do is make a single perfect seal and then a little chakra and blank scroll or tags and boom, a perfect copy."

Kakashi whistled and said "That would come in handy if you made exploding tags or storage scrolls."

Naruto said "I know, which is why I'm making it an Uzumaki clan seal because if it fell in the wrong hands it could be disasterous....Now as for you Sakura, first off I want to say I am proud of you for all the hard work you have been doing to increase your chakra reserves, stamina, and all the other training you have done. You still have perfect chakra control which is a good thing...but you have yet to learn anything that could be of actual use outside of dodging or a minor distraction." making everyone wide eyed and Kurenai said "Naruto...don't you think your being to hard on her. I mean not everyone has the advantages that you have." giving him a pointed look.

Naruto said "Please don't judge me completely until you hear what I am trying to say because I am not actually trying to hurt her feelings or make her feel bad but offer her a choice that would not only help her but our team in the long run. Please calm down and hear me out." as he held up his hands.

Sakura gritted her teeth and said "Fine. Let's here it."

Naruto said "Right, as I was saying right now you have the makings of someone who could go into genjutsu or medical and I really don't know shit about Genjutsu but over the course of my studies I have come up with some seals as well as got my hands on information and jutsu for the medical field and I was wanting to offer you a deal where I would give you this scroll to learn which will give you all the information you need to learn to heal minor cuts and relieve pain. Once you have learned this scroll and can demonstrate it for 5 minutes I have other scrolls for you to learn with more advance jutsu and medical knowledge on healing broken bones, and stopping internal bleeding and I've got more advance stuff then that but most of that stuff I am unable to do myself like the second stage stuff I meantioned because of my lack of control. If you could learn to use all this you would become a big asset on missions to help Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei, and me since all 3 of us seem to be close to mid range fighters in ninjutsu with either taijutsu or kenjutsu mixed in so the chance of one or all 3 of us getting injured is high and by having you able to heal us you could save our lives."

Sakura eyes lighted up and she asked "Well why didn't you say it like that in the first place instead of insulting me."

Naruto said "A, you haven't heard the whole deal yet and B. Because Sakura, if I give you this info to help save our lives and Kakashi-sensei got wounded with several poison kunais that hit vital areas, I got my arm cut off and bleeding to death and Sasuke got a broke leg, which one of us would you heal first."

Sakura said "Um...I don't know."

Naruto shook his head and said "Sakura, you don't have to deny it. We all know that you would heal Sasuke first because of your romantic feelings toward him that would end up with me and Kakashi-sensei dying from our injuries because....you get tunnel vision and only see Sasuke when others need you more then he does."

Sakura put her hands on her hips and said "I do not."

Naruto looked at her and said "Then why is it that when Sasuke and I both make a plan for a mission you will always side with him even when you have heard and seen over and over again that his plan would have failed. You think that Sasuke can do no wrong because .."

Naruto grabbed Sakura fist that went for his head and he sighed letting go of her hand and stepping back and said "Never mind." as he started to turn and stopped and said "Hey Kurenai-sensei, do you think someone on your team might like this. I mean I don't know if Shino or Kiba could use it but Hinata might have the control to learn it." as he held up the scroll he made for Sakura.

Sakura said "Hey, what about me."

Naruto looked at her and said "Hmm, you say something....I thought that when you tried to punch me that was the end of the conversation. Why should I help someone become better who tries to hurt me when I try to give them helpful advice."

Sakura became red and said "I..." as she tried to find something to say.

Naruto said "I know, I'm not like that, I only tried to punch you because you pissed me off, Sasuke-kun is so much better then you and your just a baka. I've heard all of it before Sakura and I'm tired of being a punching bag. If you get pissed at me for saying a few words to you what will you do when an enemy say things like even more hurtful or that will piss you off even more then what I am saying. Are you going to rush in half mad trying to hit them like you did me only for them to kill you or capture you and later RAPE you." as he changed his voice to sound like Sakura for a few words.

Naruto saw Sakura shocked by his words and said "This is not a game Sakura, prince charming doesn't always arrive at the last second to save the damsell in distress. I got currious after a friend of mines daughter was raped and killed on a mission and I broke into the record office in the Hokage tower and looked up to see how often things like that happened....Yeah, don't look at me like that. It's not my fault village security sucks enough that a 10 year old could get in there. Anyways, in 3 years time Sakura 311 kunoichi were raped with 490 kunoichi being killed and a little over a hundred disappeared on missions and were never seen again. I don't know how many of those 490 were raped before they were killed but I bet it was more then half. I'm not trying to hurt your feeling but I am trying to protect you and what do I get for it, you try to punch me for trying to point out the simple fact that you and Ino are the 2 weakest physically and skilled members of our class and I am trying to help you improve so someday if Sasuke balls ever do drop and he begins to like woman that you will be ALIVE to try and get him."

Sakura pursed her lips and Kurenai sighed and said "I hate to admit it Sakura but he's right and he is trying to do you a favor. In fact this is something Kakashi should have talked to you about long before now." as she shot a glare at Kakashi who said "Hmm, you say something."

Naruto sighed and said "Look, I'll go ahead and make another copy of this scroll and give one to you and one to Kurenai-sensei to see if one of her students would be interested and if one of you got good enough in skills then you could help me test another seal I created."

Sasuke asked "How many seals have you created."

Naruto shrugged and said "A little over 7000 seals ranging from simple storage seals to exploding tags that could kill a boss summon the size of Gambunta with all kinds of things in the middle. Most of them have actually been created by others so I can't claim originality on them but I doubt any one else has created the dress shere seal or the anti rape seal I am designing and I really doubt anyone has created the medical one I created."

Sakura who was looking down thinking over what Naruto said after Kurenai claimed he was right asked "What is the medical seal you are wanting to test." in a quiter voice.

Naruto got an exited look and said "Oh, this will probably be the most popular seal I ever create if this works the way I think it will. The number one problem that medic nins face that cost lives is running out of chakra while there are more who need help." as he ran over a pulled out a scroll and came back opening it up and said "This seal acts like a battery basically where a person sends chakra into it and it can hold up to around mid chunnin chakra reserves and it converts the chakra into healing chakra so if a medic were to place a tag on their hands with this seal on it then they could use the healing chakra inside the scroll to heal the patient instead of having to use their chakra and all they actually have to do is control the chakra to direct it how they want to use it. Anyone could fill these seals up so we could offer some of our more unhealthy ninja who should retire from missions before they die a job of filling these up and reward them by paying them for donating their chakra. If this works like I think it will then it would be possible for a medic nin who use these seals to heal hundreds of patients before they ever have to touch their own chakra by simply changing tags when it runs out. The only down side is the seal is only as good as the person controlling the chakra so if a person is only barely able to do any kind of medical jutsu like me then I could use this whole thing up and only heal a few wounds. If Sakura were able to get good enough with her control she could probably heal all 3 of us and not get tired."

Kakashi asked "Have you tested these yet."

Naruto said "Yeah, on a couple of fish but I can only heal minor cuts so I can't be sure if it can do the more advance jutsu like I think it will. I've though about asking Sasuke fanboy but I don't completey trust him."

Sasuke blinked and asked "Huh...what fanboy."

Naruto said "Oh, right after we were assigned teams I met a medic-nin that is sort of obsessed with you on the level of most of your fanclub and I got him answering me questions about medical knowledge either telling me the answers or telling me where to look for the answers in exchange for me giving him a little info on you." with a cheeky grin.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and asked "And WHAT kind of info has he been asking for."

Naruto said "Nothing much, I've actually down played some of the answers to keep him from knowing much about you since I don't completely trust him. He asks how much stamina you had, if I could get him pictures of you nude, things like that."

Kurenai said "Your pimping out your teammate." in a shocked voice,

Naruto thought a moment and said "It's no different then if the Hokage asked you to sleep with an enemy ninja to get information. The info I am getting could save the lives of hundreds of leaf ninja so I don't really see a difference since he seemed to get pleasure out of giving me info for what I do for him while..."

Kurenai who was red faced screaned "ENOUGH...your right, just....I hate those kind of missions but I have to agree, there is no difference besides the fact that I am ordered to do it and your doing it freely."

Naruto said "True...but I also found something out that I don't think anyone else knows which is why I don't completely trust the guy I'm getting medical info from."

Kurenai said "I'm almost afraid to ask but what is it."

Naruto said "He's a spy for someone outside the village." with a smirk as everyone eyes got wide.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and asked "What makes you think that he's a spy and why haven't you told the Hokage about this so far."

Naruto said "I can't tell Jiji because this guy is connected to some pretty influental people in the village and I suspect that both his teammates are also spies and they are both also well connected in the village so if I were to tell jiji my suspicion he would not be able to do anything do to who they are without some concrete proof and if he were to investigate it then either the people they are connected to would catch wind and speak to the 3 who would either then lay low for a while or try and find out who got suspicious of them and they would try to go after me or try to discredit me which could cost me my ninja license and since I don't have any other skills besides my ninja knowledge I won't be able to support myself and because of who I am I can't leave and start a new life so I have to wait until I can get concrete proof that can't be denied or explained."

Kurenai frowned and said "So what makes you believe that they are spies Naruto."

Naruto said "One has a curse seal even more advance then Anko." making Kakashi and Kurenai wide eyed and Sasuke and Sakura looked confused and Sasuke asked "What's a curse seal and whose Anko."

Kakashi said "I'm afraid that's classified information but are you sure Naruto."

Naruto said "I'm a sensor Kakashi-sensei and while I'm not very good so far I wasn't sure what it was I was feeling from him until I met Anko the other night and she showed me her curse seal. It feels like you have 2 different chakra in you so far someone with 2 chakra's is not that hard to pick up on though his isn't on his neck. It's around his heart. That sent the first flag up about this guy that made me look at him because jiji called me in to his office yesterday to ask about what I had found about the curse seal since I think I can remove it. I guess either Anko or you Kurenai-sensei spoke to him about what I told you both."

Kurenai nods and Naruto said "Well I just basically told him the same thing I told you both and he asked me was there any chance that Orochimaru could use Anko seal for his immortality jutsu...don't ask, classified." as he saw the looks on Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura face as they heard Orochimaru and Immortality jutsu.

Naruto rubbed his neck and said "But since he didn't meantion anyone else but Anko I believe she is the only person in the village he KNOWS who has that seal meaning either this guy got it and is trying to hide it out of fear or..."

Kakashi said "Or he's working for or has worked for Orochimaru."

Naruto said "Yeah and with the other things I found out about this guy from spending time with him it's just to many red flags for me to ignore without looking into it."

Sakura asked "What other things."

Naruto said "Well, he's a gennin but he has chakra reserves as big as Kakashi-sensei and medical chakra control. While that could be explained he doesn't like to fight and trained to heal, the fact that he's got these nin info cards on every person whose taken the Chunnin exams for the last 6 times from every village including mission history, medical history, teammates, graduation information, bloodlines, and where they rank in which fields is not something that a medic nin could get access to, not only from our village but Suna, Kumo, Mist, Iwa, and several dozen other villages. Iwa and Kumo would not give the Hokage that kind of information on their ninja much less a gennin."

Kurenai pursed her lips and said "That is suspicious and could be very difficult to explain...is there anything else."

Naruto said "Besides the fact he smells like snakes, has a healing factor as good as mine, both his teammates have artificial enhancements done to their bodies who also have high chunnin level reserves and their sensei claims that he hasn't had to go on a mission with them in over 2 years and that they have surpassed him as medics and they have more combat knowledge then him as well. Nothing much."

Kakashi frowned behind his mask and said "When you said artificial enhancement what did you mean."

Naruto looked at him and said "I met them in the hospital library after it was closed....what, I don't like dealing with other people who think I'm not smart enough to learn anything they have that I could become better at and I am also making a report to jiji about places security around the village sucks at that enemy ninja could use to exploit."

Kakashi said "We will discuss your...stealth training later, get on with what you were saying about those 3."

Naruto nods and said "Anyways I was in the hospital library at a back desk after it had been closed for the day and I heard the door being unlocked and the 3 came in and were whispering something I couldn't make out when I accidently sneezed. One of them made his arms stretch over 30 feet across the room and grabbed me from behind the bookshelf I was hiding behind and pulled me over to them. They asked me what was I doing there and I told them I was trying to get information on some projects I was doing without revealing what it was exactly I was working on and they asked me if I had heard what they were discussing and I made a comment about being partially death from years of being in the class with the Uchiha fan club...what." as he saw the glare Sakura was sending him.

Kakashi said "Get on with it Naruto."

Naruto said "Right, as I was saying they seemed amused by that and decided to help me with getting the info I needed which was kind of funny since they are so much older then me, in fact they should be around 5 or 6 when I was born but I guess not everyone that olds been part of my pranks." shooting a look at Kakashi and Kurenai who got the hidden message.

Naruto shrugged and said "Anyways I asked how he grabbed me like that and they seemed amused by my question and one commented how he had his body enhances where he can dislocate all the bones in his body so he can make his body shrink into the size of his head by streching it so if his head could get into something then his entire body could fit through it and I was impressed and thought it was cool and the other guy decided to brag about his ability also and he told me he had his body enhanced to where he could absorb the chakra of other people and I asked the third one if he had any special abilities and he used chakra scalpels to cut his arm from the elbow to his wrist and it healed in seconds with no jutsu and he said he could begin healing anywhere on his body by directing his chakra there without the need of jutsu and I asked if it was a bloodline and one of the other 2 snickered and meationed that the one who healed himself was their masters favorite but when the one who cut himself glared at them they both shut up instantly and paled so it was easy to see he was the leader there and I said their sensei was cool not letting them know I heard the word master and asked them if I could meet their sensei to see if he could give me a cool gift. The leader seemed amused by this and said perhaps someday but their sensei was out of the village and he redirected the conversation back to what I was looking for and he gave me the book I needed to study for what I was working on at the time and told me I should sneak out while I could before I got in trouble...but since I met their sensei since then when I ran into them again at the hospital and I remember seeing him talking to a nurse the day I first met them I knew who ever they were talking about as their master was not from our village."

Kurenai looked at Kakashi who said "Naruto...I need to know who these 3 are."

Naruto frowned and after a few seconds said "Alright....but I ask that Sasuke and Sakura go in my bedroom with a kagebunshin who will activate a privacy seal so they can't here the names."

Sakura asked "Why can't we hear the names. I mean if they are enemy spies then we need to avoid them."

Naruto said "And that is why I don't want you to know Sakura. These guys are good and could probably tell instantly that something was wrong if you were to meet them and would get suspicios and would spy on us to find out what was wrong or if we suspected them and that could cost us trouble. People know me for being dodgy and wierd since I got a reputation as a prankster along with a few other things so if I was acting wierd they would chalk it up to me hiding something that I was working on like a prank or something."

Kurenai said "He's right Sakura, both of you go and wait until we tell you."

Naruto smirked and said "Besides, imagine the look on Ino face when you tell her that you were alone in a bedroom with Sasuke."

Sasuke said "But you will have a kagebunshin in there with us so we wont be alone." as he paled.

Sakura who got an excited look started to calm down and Naruto said "But it only takes a single hit to dispell the kagebunshin after he activates the privacy seal I got up in there." as Sasuke paled again and Sakura got an excited look as she went into the bedroom.

Sasuke said "No way...damn it." as he saw the look from Kurenai and Kakashi telling him to go and a kagebunshin went with them.

A few moments later Naruto said "Damn, she's got a mean right hook. Anyways the names are Kabuto Yakushi, Yoroi Akadou, and Misumi Tsurugi."

Kakashi looked at Naruto and said "Naruto, the info you have is more then enough to investigate these 3. You should have informed the Hokage about this already."

Naruto frowned and said "There's another reason I didn't tell jiji Kakashi-sensei. In fact it's why I'm not even sure if I should tell you but with what has happened I have no choice. I had a kagebunshin henged as a bird follow Kabuto and he met 2 people who worry me about telling. One I know since I've seen him in Jiji office enough and Jiji warned me to stay away from him. Danzo. I saw them talking about something and Danzo giving Kabuto a scroll and told him it was his master payment for the new arm. The arm Danzo has in the sling isn't normal. It's got 4 different chakra in it and he also has second chakra behind the bandages over his eye....in fact....it feels like the same chakra that 3 of the chakra in the arm has and it feels like the same chakra you have behind your hiate Kakashi-sensei...now that I think about it, Sasuke eyes feel the same way as well, just not as strong..I think he's got 4 Sharingan eyes from what you told me about yourself. By the way, you owe me 4 books."

Kakashi frowned and said "Don't worry about them right now. I'll get them to you and don't say anything about the Sharingan either." as he shot a look at Kurenai.

Naruto frowned and said "I see...Well, the other guy Kabuto met worried me also. He...truthfully, I don't think he was human. He was hunched over and was wearing this cloak that was black with red clouds and Kabuto called him Sasori-sama and I couldn't hear much but I did hear the word Jinchuuriki come up. I think they were talking about me. His chakra wasn't in his whole body either. It was like it was being sent to one or 2 places at a time."

Kakashi frowned as he pulled out a scroll and unsealed a book and began to flip through it and stopped and turned it around and asked "Is this the guy you saw Naruto."

Naruto looked at the picture and said "No...but, he did have that tattoo on him." pointing to the red scorpion.

Kakashi said "Then it must have been him. Akasuna no Sasori, S-rank missing nin of Suna."

Naruto asked as he read the book "Human puppetry. What's that."

Kakashi closed the book quickly and said "It's a secret puppet jutsu from Suna that allowed a puppet user to use a dead enemy ninja body as a puppet where they could even use the person bloodline if they had one. It's not very common or very popular but it is very dangerous."

Naruto nods and said "You know...Danzo arm, the one that had the 4 chakra...I recognise the feel the fourth chakra had also. It's the same feeling I get from that Dragon ANBU who was on your team Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi frowned and said "I see...Naruto, I am ordering you and I will also order Sasuke and Sakura not to speak about this again without my permission, even to the Hokage. I will look into this but stay away from those 3 gennin."

Naruto said "OK....are you going to tell on me breaking in to those places."

Kurenai said "Before Kakashi answers, why did you lie to Sakura about the number or rapes and kunoichi killed."

Naruto smirked and said "So you did catch that. While I have broken into the record room it wasn't for what I claimed I was looking for. I was actually looking for the address of any family the woman whose daughter was raped and killed might still have in the village after she left because her birthday was coming up and I wanted to send her a gift for being nice to me over the years after she left the village when her daughter died and Jiji caught me for that one. The numbers I spoke though were not exactly a lie but they weren't actually one village either. That was in a report that was handed down from the Fire lord to Jiji about the total number of reported rapes and deaths of kunoichi in all of the hidden villages who were in the land of fire at the time these events happened and he wanted jiji to investigate them. I figured maybe having hard facts like that slapped in her face would wake Sakura up from her fangirl days."

Kurenai nods and Kakashi said "I won't tell about your break ins but you have obviously found several weak spots in our village security that needs to be addressed. The idea you had about a report on those is a good one and I will speak with the Hokage and if he agrees I'll ask you to test village security to see where we need to improve."

Naruto said "Cool, I'm going to actually get paid to do what I normally do."

Kakashi said "Well lets get Sasuke and Sakura and turn in our mission report and I'll talk with the Hokage."

Naruto said "I still need to give Sasuke what I wanted to give him. Let me get them." as he went to the bedroom and opened the door and blinked and asked "What happened to Sakura." as he saw Sakura looking pale.

Sasuke smirked and said "I told her if she tried anything that I would tell Ino that I wanted nothing to do with Sakura because I caught her and you in your bedroom with a privacy jutsu up and let Ino fill in the rest herself."

Naruto burst out laughing and said "Half truths huh. Well come on." as he turned with a smile on his face.

As Sasuke and Sakura returned Naruto said "Alright teme, since I did something to help Sakura get better I got 3 options for you to get better as well."

Sasuke asked "Like what and what do I need to get better for."

Naruto said "Well, I know you say you wanted to kill someone and I know it's your brother for killing your clan so I have 3 things I can give you to help you in that. The first is a seal that is sort of like the healing seal I meantioned but it will store your chakra in it so that you could have twice the normal amount of chakra you have now when you fight him but it has a draw back. While it will make you stronger the more you use the seal the worse your chakra control will get so you will have to work on improving your chakra control just to keep it at the level you are at now if you use this seal. The second is I have studied and broke down each of the one hand hand seals so if you were fighting someone with a kunai in one hand you could do one hand seals and do a jutsu at close range and from what I read the sharingan is unable to copy jutsu that use one handseals so that would give you an advantage against your brother but the down side is you would have to take your time and work with the seals to figure out which seals are used to replace the normal handseals for the jutsu you used so it something you would have to work at....The third thing is actually a new jutsu. I call it the Ho-bunshin. It takes half your chakra and you can only make one at a time and it can only take one hit like a kagebunshin but when it punches or kicks something it does fire damage to the person or object it hits and when it is destroyed it explodes like an exploding shadow clone into a huge fireball that depending on how much chakra you have could be anywhere from a few feet to several yards away in damage and everyone in the blast will either be severly burned or killed. I will give you only one of these 3 so you have to decide yourself which you want and which you don't."

Sasuke asked "Why can't you give me all 3."

Naruto frowned and said "A, I'm not giving them away for free. I have something I want you to do for me that I have yet to tell you about that you will have to agree to in order to get one of these 3. As for why only one, power comes at a price, ALWAYS. I've spent my time, sweat, blood, tears, money, and hard work on all this and I'm not just going to give it away to someone who turns their back on me and leaves me tied to a log knocked out." as he shot looks at both Sasuke and Sakura who averted their eyes.

Kurenai frowned as she shot a look at Kakashi who closed his eyes.

Naruto said "But I am not doing this for revenge for that. I've forgiven you both but I did learn a very valuable lesson from you both and that's is that nobody does nothing for free. Some how, some way, everyone who does something for someone else gets paid for it either with emotional, physical, or economic value to the one who did something for someone else. We never were friends and we still aren't. I'm the deadlast, your the rookie of the year and your his fangirl. If we hadn't been put on the same team then neither of you would be here now but would be making fun of me and looking down on me like I'm dirt on your feet."

Sasuke looked away and Sakura said "Naruto I....I'm sorry."

Naruto waved his hand and said "Like I said Sakura, I forgive you both which is why I am trying to help you both get stronger to complete your goals. You may not remember it but before you started chasing Sasuke you told the class that the reason you became a kunoichi was to be the first one in your family. I want to see you succeed in that dream like I am trying to help Sasuke in achieving his goal of avenging his clan."

Sasuke asked "What is it I have to do to get one of those 3."

Naruto smiled and said "I have my own reasons for doing this but I am designing a seal that will protect against bloodline theft and when I finish it I want you to not only allow me to put it on you to show that it works but endorse it. I've also got another seal I am planning to make that will help you to avenge your clan as payment once I have placed the new seal on you and you endorse it."

Sasuke asked "And what is this new seal your talking about that will help me avenge my clan."

Naruto said "Imagine if you went to fight your brother and you could seal away his bloodline in the middle of a fight where he couldn't use it any more or imagine if you were able to place a seal on your brother that made him not only unable to use his chakra and bloodline but unable to move as well so that way you don't have to give him a quick painless death but a slow painful death that allowed you to do whatever you want to him as his life will be in your hands as nothing more then a toy to do with what you want. Imagine if you forced him to become nothing more then breeding stock to help restore the clan that he destroyed while he is unable to do anything but lay there as he is used by whatever woman you hire to become a mother of the future Uchiha clan so that way you won't have to marry 4 or 5 woman yourself but only one or maybe 2 if you want. Wouldn't that be ironic justice."

Sasuke got a glint in his eye and said "And you could do that."

Naruto said "There are seals out there that already do that but they only do one or 2 at a time. I can take those seals and make a new one that has all those effects together and make it as easy to put on as slapping an exploding tag on an enemy ninja back. So what do you say, sound like something you would be interested in."

Kurenai said "Naruto, why don't you make that seal to protect the Hyuuga bloodline and give it to Hinata. I mean her dream is to unite her clan and get rid of the cage bird seal which is a seal the Hyuuga clan use to protect their bloodline but it's basically a slavery seal.."

Naruto said "Because I am afraid of what I will learn or what harm will come to my friend Tenten if I do." causing everyone to blink and look at him.

Sasuke asked "What do you mean."

Naruto said "Shit.....I didn't mean to say that out loud. Look, recently Neji Hyuuga, the teammate of my friend Tenten asked her out after years of her trying to get him to go out with her. Maybe it's because he finally see's how special she is and honestly wants to go out with her and I hope that is the reason but Kakashi-sensei told me once that there may come a time where others would use my friends agianst me so I figure there's a chance that someone could have threatened to use the cage bird seal and ordered Neji to be with Tenten in order to hopefully manipulate me. You said earlier that the Hyuuga clan and the Uchiha clan tried to get my mom to join them. Perhaps they know what my bloodline is and are using Neji to control Tenten to control me...but then Hinata had that crush on me that I finally figured out and she might have saw how close Tenten and I have become and got afraid that I would chose Tenten and lose any chance of me being with her and she threatened to use the seal to force Neji to ask Tenten out so I would look elsewhere."

Kurenai said "Hinata not that way." quickly.

Naruto said "I hope your right Kurenai-sensei, but I've seen best friends turn into enemies and I've seen a woman threaten to kill someone with every intention of doing it in order to be with the one they love. Someone using others to get competition out of the way isn't that hard to imagine. Look at Sakura and Ino, they were at one time best friends but I've seen them both pull kunais on each other once for getting to close to Sasuke."

At this everyone looked at Sakura who looked down and Sasuke said "When was this." in a surprised tone.

Sakura said "Last year on your birthday. Ino and I both secretly decided since we were 14 we were each going to give you our first kiss but when we learned each other was going to do the same thing we attacked each other....I got the scar to prove it. We wound up deciding to hold that until you decided to date one of us after Ino dad and my mom came to get us at the hospital."

Kurenai frowned and said "But Hinata not like that, she to nice to use others Naruto and especially that seal. She hates it."

Naruto said "I hope your right which is why I'm designing this seal. If her or another Hyuuga is using Neji then by getting rid of the seal will remove the power they have over him and he can break up with her if he doesn't care for her...but if I gave this seal to Hinata and it turns out that she did use Neji then she would have to take more drastic actions which could mean attacking Tenten or arranging for her to have an 'accident' on a mission. We are ninja. We are trained to kill and use deception so no matter how nice Hinata is or seems to be she does have the potential to do that. Kakashi-sensei told us to look underneath the underneath and that is what I am doing."

Kakashi sighed and said "Maybe your overthinking this Naruto. Not everyone is trying to use you."

Naruto said "Your right, Mizuki a perfect example." causing Kakashi to flinch while Sasuke and Sakura looked confused and Kurenai frowned.

Kurenai said "Then if you don't trust Hinata why are you willing to help her with this scroll your clone made for me while you went to get Sasuke and Sakura."

Naruto said "It's not that I don't trust her. I just have doubts. That is why I want to remove the source of the doubts by removing the cage bird seal. With it out of the way if things work out with Neji and Tenten then so be it and I'm happy for them but if Neji breaks up with her shortly after it is removed then either he was being forced or he didn't really have feelings strong enough to be with her like that. If it comes back with him being forced though then I only have the members of the main house to look at as the source and then the question comes back to which one and why. Either way it will mean I could never get close to Hinata like she would like because if she would use her family and my friends against me then I couldn't trust her and if it was a member of her family who ordered Neji then I couldn't trust them not to try and use Hinata against me so by not going out with her would be painful in the short run, she wouldn't be hurt by her family all the time in the long run so I am trying to protect her as well if she is innocent. I know it sounds like I actually believe she is doing that but I actually don't...or I hope and pray she doesn't. I hate doubting people but I have no choice. The only thing I can do is remove the cage bird seal and see what happens."

Kurenai turned to Kakashi and said "What the hell have you been teaching him to get him to think like that. I feel like an accademy student learning the finer points of deceptions here instead of Konoha Genjutsu mistress, the mistress of deception."

Kakashi said "He's his fathers son, that's all I will say."

Naruto happy look stopped as he glared at Kakashi a moment before his face became neutral remembering Tenten's words and said "Well as much fun as it is having you all in my home we need to finish our mission and here Kurenai-sensei, this is your stuff. I had a clone store it in a reusable storage scroll so you won't have to burden your arms when you go shopping again. Just place the item on the scroll and they will seal automatically and with each chakra burst you send into it more will pop out so you can unseal the stuff inside it at your own pace."

Kurenai took the scroll and Naruto said "Oh, by the way Kurenai-sensei, how much did Tenten tell you." as he walked over to a set of scrolls.

Kurenai blinked and asked "What do you mean."

Naruto turend to look at her and said "Me having a bloodline was meantioned several times since you been here, Kakashi meantioned my father who not even my teammates know and you never once looked currious or asked about either of those things or even looked startled or shocked by hearing about them meaning you knew about them before hand...besides, you put me on the red list."

Kurenai paled as did Sakura and Kakashi asked "Red list."

Naruto smirked and said "There's a secret code originally created by Tsunade Senju back when she first became a gennin. It's taught only to Kunoichi and there are 3 list that are passed around by the Kunoichi of the village since then. The first is the black list. It's mostly a list of either people, places, or items that should be avoided by kunoichi as bad things happen to those who interact, use or go to those places. Next we have the white list. It's sort of safe places where kunoichi can go for things like clothing, consuling, relaxation, or things along those lines, usually to avoid perverts. Then there is the red list. The red list are usually hot topic items, people or places that deserve special attention. It could be something good or bad depending on what they are put on the list for and who put them on the list."

Kurenai asked "How did you find out about the code and how did you find out about the 3 list and that I put you on the list."

Naruto sighed and said "I've had a few kunoichi brag about how I was on the black list when I was younger and after I insulted them they told me about the code when I told them they were full of shit about there being a secret code and from that info I was able to take the time and break the code. It took me about 6 months to figure it out but I eventually did and since then once a month I look at the list to see what going on to avoid getting into trouble or for my next victim of a prank. While we were in here one of my Kagebunshin dispelled after reading the latest edition of the list and I found the nice little article you and Anko wrote about me. The only way you could have got that info was if Tenten told you so how much did she tell you and why."

Kurenai frowned and said "We put you on the list because truthfully nobody gives a rats ass about kunoichi and our safety because either men see us as weaker then them and inferior then them and civilian woman see us as nothing better then legal prostitutes. The fact that you are willing to try and help kunoichi to protect ourselves and give us the respect we have fought and died trying to earn has earned you a spot on the red list just for trying. If you actually succeed then you will have the respect of nearly every kunoichi in Konoha and possibly our allies and maybe even those villages we are not allied with, Then there is my personal reason for the fact that you are willing to work on releasing Anko from a seal that has been the source of her pain and suffering for over a decade has earned you a special place in both of our lives. Everyone including Hokage-sama gave up trying to free her of the seal leaving her with no hope of being free from the curse it put on her life and for the first time in years she has hope. Anko and I basically blackmailed Tenten into telling us what she did which I have a feeling was an extremely edited version about how you met your mother as well as some other arrangements and you already know the other things that you told us. Tenten owed Anko and me both for helping her over the years because we saw her as someone who was serious about being a kunoichi and not a fangirl who disgraces us so we called in the favors she owed us to find out what she did and we had to use them all to get that info so for her to hold out as much as she did means your special to her considering everything I can understand why."

Sakura looked down as she heard Kurenai words and said "Kurenai-sensei...can I see your hands a minute."

Kurenai blinked and Naruto looked at Sakura and thought "Is she really doing that."

Kurenai asked "Why."

Sakura bit her lip and said "I...please don't make me explain, I.."

Naruto said in a soft voice "Kurenai, please do it, for me."

Kurenai looked between Naruto and Sakura a moment and showed Sakura her hands and Sakura looked at them and Kurenai asked "What are you looking at."

Sakura sighed and said "I hate to admit it Naruto but your right....you've been right about a lot of things....Kakashi-sensei, Naruto and Kurenai-sensei have reminded me of why I first wanted to be a kunoichi and I do want to the first ninja of my family....I...I just don't know where to start."

Kakashi smiled behind his mask and looked at Kurenai who had a small smile on her face and Kakashi said "Well I have to admit that Naruto was right about where your skills are at basically. You do have the making of a genjutsu user or a medic and regretfully I'm not actually skilled enough with either to teach you more then the basics. I can help you with those and point you in the right direction but your going to have to do a lot of it on your own."

Kurenai said "If you don't mind Kakashi, if Sakura is trully willing to become a true kunouchi and not a fangirl then I won't mind maybe once a week we have some cross training. Maybe add Asuma to it as well to maybe help get Ino to get over her fangirl tendency as well."

Kakashi started to say something when Naruto said "Maybe Team 9 also....what." as he saw the look everyone was giving him.

Kakashi said "Well I did say I would see about doing some team training with them at some point so I guess I'll talk with Gai."

Kurenai said "And I will talk with Asuma."

Naruto said "Well since things are looking good which one do you want Sasuke." as he turned to Sasuke.

Sasuke said "How about a counter offer dobe."

Naruto frowned and asked "What do you have in mind."

Sasuke said "I'll take the seal you offered me to double my chakra reserves but I am willing to buy that Ho-bunshin jutsu off you."

Naruto thought a moment and asked "How much."

Sasuke said "I'll pay you $10,000." shocking everyone.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and said "What's the catch."

Sasuke said "What do you mean."

Naruto said "The amount your offering seems like a good deal to me since it will mean I won't have to take as many missions to survive and to continue my studies but what's in it for you besides that jutsu because with what I read about your eyes you could probably steal it if I ever used it so what is it you are really after."

Sasuke shook his head and said "I'm questioning more and more every day if you really were the dobe in the accademy or if you were hiding your true potential....anyways to answer your question, I want to know what it is you are all dancing around. The way you and the sensei look at each other and phrase things..it's obvious there is something going on that Sakura and I don't know and it's something big."

Kakashi and Kurenai frowned and Naruto said "Sasuke...if there really was something we weren't telling you or dancing around do you think we would be willing to sell that information for the price you are offering or if there was a secret that we would have the authority to tell the secret as obviously it must be a pretty high ranking one if Jounins are aware of it."

Sasuke said "But a newly graduated Gennin has access to the secret. The only way that is possible is if you were involved in the secret." with a smirk.

Naruto said "Cheeky bastard.....your right, there is a secret. An S-rank secret actually and there are only 2 people in the entire village allowed to speak about it even though nearly everyone above 20 years of age knows about it. The Sandaime even has a law about it that states if anyone tells about it or even the law without the permission of the 2 people who are allowed to then they will be arrested and or executed without trial. Still want to know."

Sakura got a scared look on her face as Sasuke got a determined look and he nods and Naruto said "Then prove it. It's obvious that I am one of the 2 people who can speak about it with the Sandaime being the other one. It's linked to my father though nearly no one knows that he's my father. If you want to learn the secret your going to have to prove to me that I can trust you and you have to prove to me that you actually need to know about it. Right now you don't have enough trust from me to know this and there is no need for you to know it either. Think of it as a clan secret if you have to but do yourself a favor and keep your nose out of it. You also Sakura. Even if I have the power to speak about it if you get caught speaking about it or even investigating it to much then you will be killed and there is nothing I could do to stop it....people already have been killed for it because it could cause a war between our village and others if the information got in the wrong hands."

This shocked Sasuke and Sakura and Sakura stuttered "I won't tell."

Sasuke said "Fine...but I still want that jutsu."

Naruto nods and said "I'll give you both the seal and the jutsu some time this week but have the money ready. Now we should get going. I'm sure the Hokage is afraid we are picking up on Kakashi-sensei habbit."

Kurenai laughed and said "I guess I'll see you later. I'll contact you after I speak with Asuma, Kakashi." as she left.

Kakashi said "Now listen all 3 of you. Basically everything you have heard while we are here I am declaring a secret and I will be speaking with the Hokage about it all so for your sake don't tell anyone or I will see to it that your ninja license is suspended and you may be also put in jail. Do you all understand."

Each of the students nod and they leave with Naruto locking it back up leaving his Kagebunshin to continue to work.

When they got to the Hokage tower the Sandaime smiled and said "Ah Team 7, how was your mission."

Kakashi said "It was a success but there was some...interesting events that need to be discussed with you, Naruto, and myself. Also I wish for you to tell Sasuke and Sakura that what we are going to speak about is a village secret so they know not to speak about it for their safety."

The Sandaime frowned and asked "I take it this is related to THAT."

Naruto said "Somewhat but other things as well. They don't know enough to break any laws but they know enough if they investigate it or speak about it then either they could break your law or gather the attentions of some unwanted individuals."

Sarutobi said "I see....I'm not sure of all the details at the moment but whatever information they are speaking about you are not to tell anyone under penalty of jail time or death. Do I make myself clear."

Both Sasuke and Sakura nods though Sasuke frowned and the Sandaime said "Dismissed then."

After Sasuke and Sakura left the Sandaime asked "What is going on."

Kakashi said "Sir, please summon Ibiki and Anko. Akasuna no Sasori has been in the village sir and Naruto has accidently discovered 3 possible spies as well as another who could be involved in treason."

The Sandaime froze as he heard Sasori name and he looked at Kakashi and said "Very well. ANBU." as he channeled chakra into a seal under the desk.

4 ANBU appeared and the Sandaime said "Get me Anko and Ibiki."

The 4 left and the Sandaime asked "How sure are you of this Kakashi."

Kakashi said "I showed Naruto a bingo book of Sasori and while he didn't pick up on Sasori he did pick up on Sasori personal symbol and Naruto said the guys chakra didn't feel human like he was only sending direct chakra to whatever was moving which sounds like a puppeteer....there is more but I would rather wait."

The Sandaime said "Very well." as he looked in thought.

A few minutes later Anko and Ibiki appeared and Ibiki said "You sent for us sir."

The Sandaime said "Yes I did. Alright Kakashi, why don't you explain what's going on."

Kakashi said "Right, earlier today after my team was returning from our mission we ran into Kurenai who is assisting Naruto in help with a seal he is designing."

Ibiki looked surprised and said "Seals."

The Sandaime said "I am aware of these facts Ibiki so do not worry. I want to know how Naruto met Akasuna no Sasori and who these spies and this triator might be."

Kakashi said "Very well. I'll skip to the part where Naruto was in his apartment with our team and Kurenai. Naruto meantioned there was another person in the village with a curse seal but instead of on his neck it is around his heart area from what Naruto can feel since he is a sensor type thanks to his bloodline. Naruto also discovered that this person and both his teammate...." as he explained about what he heard earlier going all the way to the end where Kabuto met Danzo and Sasori.

When he finished the others in the office were wide eyed and the Sandaime frowned and said "I see....are you sure about the bloodlines Naruto."

Naruto said "I'm just telling you about the feel the chakra has. It's almost exactly like what the chakra behind Kakashi-sensei hiate is and Sasuke eyes and also that arm also feels like the Dragon masked ANBU. They just...I can't describe it...they just feel different then normal chakra and they feel alike."

Sarutobi said "I see."

Kakashi said "Sir, that's not the only reason that I asked for Ibiki and Anko to come here. I would like to nominate Naruto to become an ANBU." making everyone in the office wide eyed and looked shock at Kakashi.

Naruto said "ANBU...why. I'm not skilled enough."

Sarutobi took out his pipe and said "Kakashi, in all the years I have known you, you have never once nominated anyone to ANBU. Why now and why Naruto."

Kakashi said "Sir, I know Naruto doesn't have the experience yet to be an ANBU but the reason I am nominating him is because Naruto speed and stealth skills are already ANBU level with his prank on the Hokage monument a perfect example of this. Naruto knows more weak spots in our village security then any ninja that I can think of. He is also without a doubt the best seal master currently in the village, even unregistered, maybe even surpassing Jiraiya-sama or at least close to it. I wish to nominate him as a specialist sir like Anko with him working directly under Ibiki and Anko in locating weakness in our village security as well as looking for potential threats because if this Kabuto kid is everything Naruto claims he has then our village has been missing him for YEARS sir and Naruto was able to peg him after only one or 2 meetings as being a spy. That is a huge error on our part sir. He will also work in the area of seals on designing new seals or breaking down and studing enemy seals like he has the curse seal. From what I take it after one meeting he has possibly found a way to destroy the curse seal. Even Jiraiya-sama has been unable to do that. Naruto also got a medical seal he designed that could decrease the fatality rate of our ninja by at least 30 percent sir. He's even creating a new seal that will replace the Hyuuga cage bird seal and he knows a law that will allow him to do it legally and force the Hyuuga clan to unite under one house. I know he is young and inexperienced and I wouldn't send him out of the village as an ANBU for some time but the things he could do inside the village which would also draw attention away from him and make our enemies believe we have a new seal master in ANBU as well as an up and coming one who is a gennin will force them to start diverting some of their shinobi into learning sealing which will take time away from the missions they could do just in hopes of countering Naruto."

Anko said "Sir, I may not know his skills in other areas but in seals I know he is skilled."

Sarutobi said "I am aware of that and you do make a valid point Kakashi because it won't take long for other villages to catch word about Naruto skills with seals and that will most likely draw them toward an unwanted subject....Ibiki, your thoughts."

Ibiki looked at Naruto for several moments and said "I agree to this because some of our ninja have become complacent in their skills. I however will want to test his skills and also have him to train with other ANBU and do missions for me. Nothing outside the village for now. He will have to be silent about being an ANBU and will still have to appear as a regular gennin with his team."

Sarutobi said "Very well...Naruto, do you accept the nomination of becoming an ANBU."

Naruto gulped and said "Yes jiji."

Sarutobi said "When your with your gennin team or we are alone you may call me that but when you are on duty as an ANBU you must refer to me as Hokage-sama Naruto to make people believe there are 2 sealmasters in this village."

Naruto said "Hai Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi said "Very well then. From now on your code name is Hydra. Kakashi, I expect you to get him ready for ANBU missions because I won't be able to keep him off of them for to long. A few months maybe."

Kakashi said "I understand."

Ibiki said "Hydra, Anko here will come by and give you your uniform and mask within the week as well as bringing you to ANBU headquarters."

Naruto said "But I already know where ANBU headquarters is."

Ibiki said "Do you now."

Naruto nods and said "Yes, it's 6 blocks east of here. There's 2 men and 1 woman watching the entrance from the front with another inside the lobby of the building. The woman is always at the tea shop, one guy acts as a drunk in the ally and another looks like he's widdling wood."

Ibiki frowned and said "And how were you able to discover those 4."

Naruto said "The expiration date on the bottle the guy is drinking from is 4 years old so the alchohol should of killed him, the guy on the steps has a bag that he supposedly is putting the wood chips in to keep from messing up the steps but I've seen him pull out food, water, and other things from the bag and if it was indeed his lunch then where is the wood chips from him widdling. There there is the lady at the tea shop who has fallen asleep from boredom when nobody but the owner was there and doesn't wake up unless he wakes her up or when someone walks in talking loudly. The guy in the lobby is usually the only one that I can tell is actually doing something but I've seen a woman step out from under the desk wipping her lips a few times as she did so and he lets her out a side door and she comes out 2 buildings down without ever entering the ally telling me there is a underground tunnel."

Kakashi eye smiled and Ibiki said "I think I'm going to like you kid."

Anko asked "So what do we do about Danzo and those 3."

Sarutobi said "I'll contact Jiraiya and ask him if they are one of his, maybe double agents. If he informs me no then we will pull those 3 in. If we can get them to talk about Danzo then we will go after him. If not then we will have to figure some way to trap him forcing him to reveal he has those bloodlines. Is that understood."

Everyone nods and the Sandaime said "Good, your all dismissed and Hydra...welcome to ANBU."

Naruto said "Thank you...all of you." as he left.

Kakashi stayed behind and the Sandaime asked "Is there something else Kakashi."

Kakashi said "Yes sir. I don't want my team taking another mission from the client we had today. She was Mizuki fiance and there appears to be some tension between her and Naruto. Nothing happened and she seemed to be over it but Naruto is paranoid of her and it may effect my team."

Sarutobi said "Very well. I was not aware that he had a fiance or I would have never gave you that mission. Is that all."

Kakashi nods and Sarutobi said "Very well dismissed."

After Kakashi left Sarutobi thought "What a day."
