'Might as well come clean Kit.' The Kyuubi said.

Naruto sighed, 'I know...'

"My name... Is Naruto Namikaze..." said Naruto calmly.


Chapter 17 - Elite squad in progress

A cold wind seemed to blow through the entire restaurant and engulfed the booth of team 10. Asuma's cigarette just went out right when he said those words. His eyes widened, it all made perfect sense now. Why he trained with Jiraiya, why he had the nine tailed fox in him. It hit Asuma like a train so he didn't know how to react to the situation.

Sakura was in a different boat, confusion. This couldn't be right could it? The only Namikaze that she knew of was the fourth Hokage. But that would mean that Naruto would have to be related to him. That couldn't be right could it? A loser like Naruto could not be related to one of the greatest Hokage, especially since he had 'That' in him. The only thing she could think to do to react was a small nervous chuckle.

"Hehe, your joking right?" Sakura said, amused but also worried.

"No Haruno, i'm not 'Joking'." Naruto replied dryly as he turned his cold eyes to Sakura. That stare sent shivers down Sakura's spine, it looked like he was looking right through her.

"As i was saying..."

"You're his son aren't you?" Asuma interrupted Naruto.

Naruto gave a deep sigh, "Yes, i'm his son. Now what i like..."

"Why didn't you tell the villagers?" Asuma interrupted again.

'Oh Kami, what the hell? Can't i just say what i have to say and get the hell out of here WITHOUT being interrupted.' Naruto complained inwardly. "Because i don't want people kissing my ass..." he responded, some reason it made Sakura flinch.

Asuma decided to leave the questions until he got to talk with the Hokage again. He looked at Naruto's teammates. Sakura looked confused and nervous, which was to be expected. But Ino, she looked completely normal, actually happy that Naruto said what he said. Did she know? Why would he tell her?

"Did you already know about this Ino?" asked Asuma and he received a happy nod. "Why did you tell her?"

"Because she found out something else about me. I just decided to explain my entire story." Naruto said.

"Why don't you tell us Naru..." started Sakura, obviously interested in what his story could be.

"Because Haruno, you already have judged me for who i am. There would be no point in me trying to tell you my story. If you would like to hear it you may talk to the Hokage." Naruto said coldly, not sparing the pink haired girl a glance.

Sakura sunk her head, Asuma saw this and decided to change the subject once he saw there waiter coming. "Well guys enjoy the food!" he said cheery, as the waiter placed the food on the table.

"Thank you Asuma-Sensei." said Ino. "Thanks..." said Naruto. But Sakura didn't say anything. She was still in her thoughts that she didn't know what to do. Naruto, related to the fourth Hokage, that had to be impossible.

"Haruno, instead of questioning about my family, why don't you just save it, eat your food and talk to the Hokage when we get there." Naruto said as he continued to eat his meal.

"Okay." she said, still skeptical about the situation, but put on a fake smile. Naruto caught it but didn't say anything, while Asuma smiled that the mood appeared to be lifted.


-Hokage Tower- (time skip)

As Team ten approached the doors to the Hokage's office, they heard shouting. "Shizune! Get me my Sake!" The hokage yelled, causing all of team ten to sweat drop outside the door. Asuma was about to knock, but Naruto just pushed open the door and entered.

"Brat! You're suppose to knock before you enter!" Tsunade yelled behind a pile of paperwork.

"Whatever... What did you want to talk to us about Baa-Chan?" Naruto asked.

A tick mark appeared on Tsunade's head, obviously getting annoyed at how the young blond treated her with so little respect. She cleared he throat as Asuma stood by Naruto, while Sakura and Ino stayed behind. "I would like to talk to you on how this team will work." A questioning look appeared on everyone's face at what the Hokage was talking about. "This will not be like any of the other Genin teams. In fact, you won't be going on many missions at all." this made everyone's eyes in the room widen except Asuma. "You will work as a team with Asuma for your team exercise, but this team will consist of a elite squad. Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, you have been chosen to be the first two medic Nin of Konoha. You will be trained by me personally."

Ino's face lit up. She was going to be personally trained by the Hokage herself. Maybe then she could get Naruto to notice her more. "But lady Hokage, why choose us?" Sakura asked.

"Because of the talent you two showed for Chakra control in the academy. You both have amazing control over your chakra, medical Ninjutsu requires a great control of your Chakra which you two have. It is only ideal that you be medical ninja. Do you two accept to be my apprentices?" Tsunade asked.

Ino and Sakura looked at each other and both turned back to the Hokage and gave a confident nod. "Well then that's settled. Now as for you brat."

Now Naruto was getting annoyed at this, 'As long as she keeps calling me that, she will always be known as Baa-Chan to me.' Naruto thought.

"That training trip you always wanted to go on with Jiraiya, i will allow it." the Hokage said.

Naruto was at first shocked but slowly he made his trademarked fox grin. Ino's heart fluttered, she wanted to see him smile for a while now. "Wait training trip?" Ino suddenly asked.

"He will be training with Jiraiya while you two train with me." the Hokage said.

'What? But then i'll have to be away from Naruto-Kun?' thought Ino sadly. "How long will we be separated?" she asked.

"Well the first trip that the old per... i mean Jiraiya has for Naruto will be for about five months. This is the same amount of time i will train you two because the Chunin exams will be in six months. The final month all three of you will be training with Asuma so you know how to work as a team for the Chunin exams."

"How long will our training be after that Tsunade-Sama." Ino asked.

"Well, i can't say for certain because i don't know how fast you two will progress. If i were to give an estimate, i would say two years minimum and five years tops." She replied.

This made Ino's heart shatter and it even saddened Sakura. 'At least two years without Naruto-Kun?' she thought. She gave Naruto a glance and notice his expression hasn't changed at all. He seemed completely calm, as if all of this didn't matter.

"Does this mean we won't be taking a stupid team test?" Naruto finally spoke.

"Well we were going to, but you just spoiled it..." Asuma said as he sweat dropped.

"Whatever." Naruto replied as he crossed his arms.

"Hokage-Sama..." came the weak voice of Sakura, nervous as what she was about to ask.

"Yes?" she asked back.

"I-Is Naruto really really related fourth Hokage?" she stuttered out.

The Hokage looked at Naruto who just nodded his head once, Tsunade gave a sigh, "Yes Sakura, he is his son."

Sakura had her head down in shame for the way she treated the fourth Hokage's son. She raised her head up, "But why would he..." she was caught in a flash as Naruto put his hand over her mouth from behind and whispered in her ear.

"I told you not to tell anyone about that, it's for your mother's safety, now keep quiet and play this 'Situation' of ours off." he whispered. For some reason her face was getting all red by having his breath tickling her ear like that. Naruto pulled away,

"What did you do that for Naruto? I was just going to ask why he didn't tell the villagers." Sakura lied.

Naruto just turned his head and walked back to his place between Ino and Asuma.

"To answer your question Haruno, my father had many enemies. If he was not there to protect me, then i would be in constant danger, so he rather not have people know about him being my father." Naruto replied, still not looking at her.

Tsunade coughed to get everyone's attention, "Now, is that all of your questions?" Tsunade asked and received nods from everyone except Naruto.

"Can we talk in private Baa-Chan?" he asked.

She nodded and the rest of team 10 exited the office and waited outside the door. Sakura began to wonder what Naruto wanted to talk about. She put her ear against the door.

"Sakura! Give them some privacy!" said Ino, in a whisper like shout.

Sakura ignored her, she heard Naruto's voice and was able to make out some of his words. "Why...Brat...the time?"

"Because... one..." she heard the Hokage reply but only some words.

Then she heard some mumbling that she couldn't make out. There was a long pause of silence. Then Naruto came crashing through the other wooden door and slammed up against the wall. Team ten was shocked at the dazed Naruto was sitting in the hole of the back wall. Suddenly three pencils struck into the wood just where his face was as he barely dodged them. Naruto's face turned pale as he looked at the three pencils lodged deep into the wood where his head use to be.

"YOU STUPID BRAT!" came the strong voice of the Hokage as she charged toward Naruto. Naruto was scared out of his life as he got up as quick as he can and barely dodged one of Tsunade's legendary punches that shattered the entire wall.

The only thought of team ten was 'Holy Shit!' But the punch just seemed to drain Naruto's face further. 'She's seriously going to kill me!' he mentally screamed.

'GET US OUTTA HERE KIT!' the Kyuubi shouted while Naruto immediately responded by running as fast as he can out of the Hokage tower the Hokage not far behind.

"This is going to be one strange team..." Asuma mumbled as he lit up a cigarette.
