Naruto stood where he was as he thought about his options. On one hand he could go to his lying former-jiji of a Hokage and see what he wanted with him. Or he could ignore the anbu and get some ramen. That was not a hard choice if he had it his way.

"Come Uzumaki-san," spoke the anbu with irritation in his voice.

But it seemed that he would not have his way now.

Sighing he started to follow the anbu away from his precious ramen and towards the Hokage Tower wondering what he wanted with him.

"Hey Jiji why did you have that masked man come get me. I was just on my way to get some victory ramen," Naruto said as he walked into the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen smile as he looked at the pouting face of his surrogate grandson. He had been a little concerned when Iruka handed him the exam results and said that Naruto did not act like Naruto that much, but he was relieved that his concerns held no ground.

Naruto, however, was trying his hardest to keep up his mask in front of his important people. That is right important people not precious people. After what he found out two nights ago plus the truth of Kurama, The God of Shinobi no longer deserved to be on his precious people list.

At the time he found out about Kurama, he had been confused and hurt about why his beloved 'Jiji' would kept that secret from him. Now, since he is older, he could understand his reason and he forgave him. Telling a four year or anyone for that matter that he/she had a demon of mass destruction, whom had killed thousands along with their hero (at the time), inside their body could cause major trust and/or mental issues for said person.

The Hokage must have figured that if he had found out that he was hosting the Kyuubi within his body then his mind would break and he would lose trust in him. (Which was nearly the case) He must have also thought that if his mind was damaged then the Kyuubi could take control and cause a massacre. To Naruto it was a pretty sound reason not to tell him and for that Hiruzen had been forgiven, though he wondered when/if he was going to be told.

No the reason was the fact that he had lied to him again and again and again. When he was younger before he meet Kurama and even a few times after he had meet her, he had asked his 'Jiji' why it was that the villagers mistreated and hated him, but everytime he had asked he had claimed to not know the reason but he, Naruto, should forgive them for it. It had hurt to know that his apparent 'Jiji' lied to him but he had let it go.

The truth about his parents on the other hand was not something he could just let go. As an orphan one of the things he wanted to know the most was the identity of his parents and to know if they loved him. He remembered hearing all of the things the villagers would say when he had asked that question out loud and it made his blood boil now that he knew the truth.

His parents had loved him, but when they found out that he was a monster they couldn't get rid of him fast enough.

That was the son of some low life and a slut.

That his mother was raped by a demon and after his birth, the demon came back, killed his mother and placed him in Konoha.

That he was the son of a respectable couple, but when he was born they were so disgusted with him that they abandoned him. Now happily living somewhere else with lots of normal children.

And many others.

When he finally learned the truth he was so relieved because even though he did not want to believe any of them, he did not know the truth so any of the hurtful things were possible.

What he did not understand though is why he was lied to. The only reason he had come up with was that if the identity of his Y chromosome donor was made public, then Iwa would be out for his blood. But even if that was the case, why not tell him the identity of his mother. From what he could tell, public knowledge says that the Fourth never had a child or a wife so where was the harm in revealing Kushina to him.

He did not know and to be honest he did not really care, his absolute trust in his former Jiji, now Hokage, was permanently severed. But that being said even though his was no longer precious to him, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still important to him. All the memories of the times he was nice to him, although severely stained now that he knew the real reasons for it, were still pleasant. Plus have the Third Hokage, The God of Shinobi himself, as his grandfather could have its advantages.

"Hurry up Jiji, the ramen is waiting." Naruto said still pouting.

"Alright, Alright," Hiruzen said turning very serious, "I wanted talk to about some very important news I found out."

Naruto gained a confused look at the statement, but on the inside was a different story, "Shit, shit, shit, did he find out I looked in the book?"

"What is it?"

Hiruzen stared at Naruto as if studying his before answering.

"Iruka has come to me with the exam results, congratulations by the way, and has informed me that you use the Shadow Clone Jutsu in the ninjutsu portion of the exam. Is that true?"

Naruto gave an internal sigh of relief at not being found out, but he gained real confusion at the conversation. Not knowing what else to do he gave a nod.

"How did you learn it?" Hiruzen demanded making Naruto nervous.

"W-Why... I-I-Is it something bad?"

The Hokage gave a tired sigh, "Naruto-kun, the Shadow Clone Jutsu is an A rank Jutsu that is in the Forbidden Scroll. The reason it is in there in the first place is because it takes up so much chakra. In order even look at the scroll, one would need my permission to learn it." He returned his eyes to Naruto," So I will ask again, how did you learn that jutsu?"

Naruto almost let out a cry of joy at the fact that he knew an A rank jutsu and that his secret was safe, but the severity of the situation made him focus on trying to find an appropriate answer. He could not say that he found the jutsu in a book, because that would lead to question he did not want to answer. Like how a jutsu like that could be in a book if it was forbidden, how did he find the book, or where is the book located. So since he could not tell the truth he would have to lie.

He felt a little bad at lying to his Hokage since it in a way was a crime, but he had been lied to by said Hokage his whole life so it only seemed fair to him. Besides it is not like not telling about his secret life would put the village or anyone else in danger, so it will be fine.

From what he had gotten so far was that the jutsu was dangerous because it took so much chakra, but he already know that. Thank you Uzumaki ninjutsu book. Also he got that in order to learn the jutsu the normal way, you needed the Hokages permission. So you needed to have enough chakra in order to use the jutsu without repercussions and the Hokage needed to trust you enough to look in the Forbidden Scroll. With that information in mind, Naruto formed a story that he hoped was believable.

"Well I guess I was taught," Naruto said rubbing the back of his head in a nervous fashion.

"You guess?" Hiruzen questioned suspiciously.

"H-Hai." Naruto said nervously. It was very easy to act a certain way if you actually felt that way.

"Explain."

"Uhmm … well… about a week ago I was going through the forest to find a new hiding place for my prank supplies when I found one of those masked guys in the middle of a clearing." He paused taking a deep calming breath before continuing, "He looked like he was preoccupied trying to do something because I don't think he noticed me. I was a little curious about what he was doing so I decided to watch him. When I was watching I heard him talk to himself every time he seemed to mess up. Then he finally made a clone."

Naruto paused in his story to see if Hiruzen was buying it, but he gave him nothing as he motioned Naruto to continue.

"Well after he made his first clone, he kept on practicing and each time he repeated his self-instructions. I managed to memorize them and started to practice myself."

Hiruzen was silent for a while; going over the story he had just heard a few times in his head. Not that he considered the boy in front of him a liar or anything, but he was the Hokage and it was his job to make sure his village and it's secrets were safe.

After a bit of thought the man concluded that the story was more than likely true, he had a new anbu member who was having trouble with the shadow clone jutsu. Plus it was very possible that young Naruto happened to find him practicing.

The silence was almost unbearable for Naruto as his former-grandfather went over his story. It was good but would it be enough to fool the Hokage.

"Am I in trouble Jiji?" Naruto said in a sad voice, trying to play his good little grandchild card.

Thinking about it a moment longer, Hiruzen gave a sigh. It was not like Naruto did anything wrong by learning the jutsu, and it seemed that he did not have any negative affects from it either. Though he still wondered one thing.

Sighing a bit, he said, "No Naruto-kun you are not in any trouble, but why did you learn Shadow Clones instead of the normal clones?"

Naruto gave a sigh of relief and gave himself a mental pat on the back for tricking the God of Shinobi… no 'tricking' sounded to wicked a word, how about … telling a convincing lie? Yeah that would work.

"I tried but I can't seem to make a clone. Hinata-chan kept on saying that I used too much chakra for it to work, but no matter how hard I tried I kept using too much. So when I saw the masked man doing a different type of clone I decided to try it. Last night was the only time I was able to do it right besides this morning though." He explained.

"Hmm, very well then, I would have preferred you learn the Clone Jutsu but the Shadow Clone will do." Hiruzen said.

Naruto smiled this. He had learned an A-rank jutsu, beat the duck butt in ninjutsu, and tricked… told a convincing enough lie to the Hokage 'twice'. Yes sir, he was on fire today.

"But since it is a jutsu in the Forbidden Scroll, you must not teach it to anyone. Understand?"

"Hai Jiji." Naruto said causing the old Hokage to smile.

"Good." He said then he reached under his desk, "Now that the serious stuff is out if the way, I would like to congratulate you properly for passing the genin exam and placing first for ninjutsu," he said bring out something covered in a long cloth from under his desk and handing it to Naruto.

Taking the gift and removing the cloth, Naruto gasped at what he held. In his hands was a sword roughly the same length and his mother's though it was lighter. The main difference though was that both the sheath and handle were nearly as white as Hinata's claws and the swords guard was a golden eight-point star. (A/N: Like Toshiro Hitsugaya's zanpakuto in Bankai from Bleach) Slowly drawing the sword half way from its sheath, he saw the blade itself was a shiny silver color. In all it was a very pretty weapon, not nearly as beautiful as his black blade in his compound but it was much better than the current one on his back. If he called his mother's black beauty a 10 and the one on his back a 1, than the one in his hands was an impressive 7.9.

"Jij- Hokage-sama, I don't know what to say." Naruto said.

Hiruzen gave a chuckle at what he heard. After so many years of trying to get the blond to be respectful, he now does so when he is handed a sword.

"You don't have to say anything my boy, I heard you were seen with a sword this morning and thought, since you were taking an interest in kenjutsu, that I would give you it as a gift if you passed," he said with a smile.

Great now Naruto was starting to feel bad for lying before, "Oh well, I'll get over it in a bit as long as nothing else happens… shit."

"I also realized that I was behind on a few of your birthday presents, so I hope this makes up for it?"

"Damn you Murphy and fuck your stupid laws," Naruto thought. Yep it was going to take longer than 'a bit' to get over the guilt now.

"This more than make up for it Jij- Hokage-sama," Naruto said returning his attention to the man in front of him. "Thank you."

"No thanks are needed my boy," He said clapping his hands together before continuing, "Now since I doubt you know how to properly use a blade, I have arranged a kenjutsu expert to teach you. She will be expecting you in training ground 42 at seven tonight. (A/N: Bet no one can guess who it is) Understood?" he asked.

Naruto could only nod dumbly, not only did he get a new sword but he also got an expert to teach him. Even though he felt a little guilty now, having the God of Shinobi think of you as a grandchild had its advantages.

"Good. Since that is all I needed you for, you are dismissed to enjoy your victory ramen." He said and started to work on the large stack of papers that had appeared on the desk.

As he walked out the office, Naruto heard his Hokage beg Kami for the answer to paperwork and it made him question the man's IQ since they had had an entire conversation about it.

After a wonderfully large lunch of victor ramen (which the Ichiraku's said was half off as a graduation present) Naruto made his way to his clan compound, being careful not to be followed.

His clan compound, he still could not believe he could say that.

Once he was inside, he quickly found his mother's sword and laid it and his new one on the table in the living room. He compared the two blade in front of him, giving each experimental swings and tried to move them like he had seen other people do. He quickly found that his black beauty was the blade he preferred and it was not just because he was biased. Though it did make his choice easier.

Even though he was no sword expert, he was confident that his black blade was better for him then the white one. His mother's sword felt like it was more of a balanced blade like his future taijutsu style, while the white one was lighter leading him to think that it was more for offence then defense. But hey, what did he know?

Since he figured out his preferred sword, he now had to deal with the other one. He had thought of just not using it and put it in the room with all the other swords but that did not seem right to him.

The Hokage had given it to him and it seemed like he put a bit of effort in getting it to him, though he wondered where he got the sword from since his public sword interest was less than eight hours old. He even got gave him a private instructor, plus this was BY FAR the best present his former Jiji had given him. It was certainly better than the coupons to restaurant that refused him, or that rundown apartment.

…

Shit he was still going to have to live there wouldn't he. Yeah he would if he wanted to keep the knowledge of his heritage a secret.

Sighing Naruto came to a decision. He would learn two different kenjutsu styles. His black sword's style would be based on the Uzumaki style. The white one, however, he would be using to learn whatever his instructor taught him and be the one that saw the public's eye.

Man he had a lot of work ahead of him. He was sooo thankful for shadow clones, without them he was not even sure his goal would be even possible.

Standing up, he formed a T hand seal.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu" he said and eight puffs of smoke later stood eight Naruto clones.

"Damn… I wanted to make six, oh well I can practice later." He thought.

After dividing the clones up (three to practice basic kenjutsu things, two to work on his new taijutsu, and the rest were to work on fuinjutsu) Naruto went up to his bedroom to check up on a few things he skimmed over the night before.

Spotting a rather large pile of the handwritten letters from his mother, he shuffled through them until he found the ones he wanted. He then got comfortable on the bed before he started to read them.

The letters he was reading where about the compound that his mother called home before she moved in with the blond idiot.

On that line of thought he removed the fake image on his person, revealing his red hair and whiskerless face. He smiled since he was no longer a 'blond idiot'. With that done, he then focused on the letters and was very impressed.

Since the Uzumaki were seal masters he figured that the compound had some kind of seal on it, like the blood on the gate, but the number of seals and their purpose got him thinking.

The Uzumaki Clan Compound was the SAFEST AND MOST PRIVATE place in the entire village.

All around the compound's perimeter were seals that prevented any unauthorized person from entering. If they tried to enter anyway then they would be shocked with enough electricity to be rendered unconscious, the same would also happen if anyone but an Uzumaki applied blood to the blood seal on the gate.

But there was a way around it: if one was to find a way to negate the electrical seal then they would have nothing to worry about… except for the twenty-five back up trap seals that would activate if the first one was disabled… and the forty or so back up back up trap seal after the first twenty-five.

…

…

Anyway the second way to get in if one was not an Uzumaki was a seal that was basically an Uzumaki friendship seal. Once an Uzumaki, like Naruto, applies it to a person they deem trustworthy, like Hinata, said person could come and go from the compound as they please, the seal could also be removed if the Uzumaki wished. Though friendly or not, any attempted entry will notify everyone inside.

…

…

Yeah no one was breaking in any time soon.

The level of protection that went in the simple compound that only one person lived in make him wonder how protected was the entire country.

"Hmm, I'm going to have to learn more about my clan. Everything I know about them is from mother's letters. I'm sure she must have left some things out. Hmm what was that building called again? The one that has all of the book on everything? I think it starts with a L… I'll find out later." He thought as he went over the rest of the information.

The compound had an advanced silencing seal on the entire compound that was so good, his mom said, 'Nothing short of a boss summon's yell could get through,' whatever that was.

Also there was apparently a seal that prevented anyone from the outside from seeing in. This made Naruto smile, basically the letters said that he could train as long and as loud as he wanted without being found out. The rest told about little things like the indoor traps he needed to avoid and what not that did not seem like big deal, though he placed them in a neat pile in case he needed them in the future.

Once the letters were put away he turned to the last letter on his bed and sighed. Out of all the others this one letter was one of the most emotionally conflicting he has found.

Everything else was so simple: his mother, he loved. The blond idiot, he hated. The compound, he loved. His apartment, he hated. The Ichiraku's, he loved. Jiraiya, he hated for being his failed godfather, thank you blond idiot for your amazing judgment. Hinata, he trusted with his entire being. The Hokage... not so much. But one name he could not place with an emotion easily.

Tsunade

Looking at the letter and reading it over again did not help his confusion. This letter, like a few others about her, told about how excited my mother was for him, Naruto, to meet her, Tsunade. How her, Kushina, choice of a godparent was sooo much better than Minato-baka's. And the priceless look that was going to appear on her, Tsunade, face when she was told she was Naruto's godmother.

When she was told, that meant that his mother never told Tsunade about the role she was suppose to play in Naruto's life. But even if she was never told, where was she? By the level of excitement that he got from Kushina's writing, he figured that his would be godmother would be told as soon as possible. He also knew, even though she would be shock, she would gladly take the position and do a better job than Minato's choice, though that wouldn't be that hard.

Did she just find him and abandon him?

Or since she was never informed of her position, she just did not feel responsible for him?

Did she even know he exist?

You know now that he thought about it, he has never seen or heard of anyone by the name Jiraiya or Tsunade in the village before. But he was sure he had heard about it before.

Weird.

"Hmm maybe they are famous and/or powerful? I wondered if they are in the big book building."

Sighing he placed the letter with all the others. He did not know the reason the woman was not there for him, but he will believe that she wanted to be but couldn't for some reason. He will put faith in his mother's choice, she has not done him any wrong so far, unlike someone.

Knock, knock

The noise of knocking could heard from anywhere in the compound. It was not over loud but it was loud enough to get the attention of anyone inside.

"So that's what the letter meant." Naruto thought as he went to see who was at his gate.

His gate, it felt good to say.

Hinata stood patiently at the gate of her best friendly home with a smile on her face.

The reason she was smiling was because she will get to see Naruto's beautiful home again and she will finally get to practice with the claws she had been dying to use all day.

Plus the events at the Hyuuga compound helped.

After she had explained in great detail what had happened during the exam, her father had only lightly reprimanded her. Saying stuff like she was a failure for not getting the Rookie of the Year spot, or telling her that she shamed the clan because the dead last placed better than her in something, things that she was used to.

… It still hurt hearing that from her father though.

But that was another reason her to smile though, because now she could spend time with her Naruto.

Her Naruto… the thought made her blush.

"Hey Hinata-chan, I'm glad you could make it. Were you followed?" Naruto asked as he opened the gate for her.

The sight of him in his new clothes and red hair did not help her blush at all.

Shaking her head no, she walked in through the gate taking in the tranquil atmosphere of the area.

"Hey Hinata-chan, are you okay? Your face is all red." Naruto asked as he led her to the house.

"I-I'm f-fine N-Naruto-kun," she said, forcing her blush back a bit.

They walked in a comfortable silence to the training ground, when Hinata felt like one of her fantasies came true.

Upon entering the training ground, Hinata was greeted to the sight of eight other Narutos two of which were sweaty and shirtless.

"Oh Kami." She thought before fainting. Her kind and peaceful nature and her not so innocent thoughts colliding causing her to body to shut down.

"Hinata-chan. Hinata-chan?" Naruto said as he turned around to find his friend unconscious with a smile and a blush on her face.

…

…

…

"Hinata-chan can you hear me? Wake up." Hinata heard as she woke up. She had had an amazing dream where there had been lots of Narutos. Opening her eyes she was greeted to multiple Naruto faces hovering above hers.

"Oh Kami." She thought before passing out again.

After passing out a few more time, Hinata finally became stable enough for Naruto to explain how there were multiple forms of him. After Naruto had explained the technique to her and told her that this was the reason he placed highest in ninjutsu, she was a little envious of him.

Knowing a technique that could reduce training time would make learning to use her claw would be a great help, but when Naruto listed all the different things he needed to learn and improve on she agreed that he need to technique more than she did.

With her curiosity over the clones put to rest, she moved her attention to the new sword in one of the clones grip. That led Naruto to explain his meeting with the Hokage and his new gift in the form of the sword.

As Hinata listened to his story, she frowned when she heard that he had lied to the Third. It saddened her to know that her friend no longer trusted the one he once saw as a grandfather. It also did not settle well with her that her friend lied to her leader, she understood his reason though. If he had told the truth, then it would lead to many complications that would end in Naruto getting hurt. And as much as it conflicted with her morals, she would rather Naruto lie to prevent pain, than tell the truth and cause it.

Naruto was very grateful that Hinata seemed to understand his reason, it made telling the rest of his story much easier.

When he finished telling about his kenjutsu lesson later on that day, he had loudly exclaimed that he would beat Hinata in a weapons spar, even though she had a large head start, just for the heck of it.

At first Hinata was shocked at his outburst and worried that he would start to use his mask all the time again. But the look of his challenging smirk, calmed her worries. It actually brought a smile to her face at the thought of challenging Naruto.

Even though all she had to do was adapt the use of the claws the Gentle Fist's movements and Naruto was starting from scratch, he had the shadow clones, a teacher, and determination to spare. With all of this, it made the idea of competition very real.

Hinata felt a feeling in her gut start to form as her motivation to master the claws rose to new heights. So without any further conversation, she went to an unoccupied spot in the yard and begun to practice.

Naruto, not to be outdone, also went to work and begun to practice the basic kenjutsu stances with his clone to get ready for his lesson.

Naruto made his way through village towards training ground 42 with his white sword across his back, ready to begin his first lesson with a private teacher.

Before he had left, he had challenged Hinata to a quick weapons spar. He had been using his black sword and got his ass royally handed to him by the princess of the Hyuuga clan, not that he had expected anything less. What his did learn was that he had a lot of work to do, but he already knew that. The spar just reinforced this fact.

He had also applied a successful Uzumaki Friendship seal to the Hyuuga before he left, and it only took him ten divided by five times ten plus thirty times two divided by seven thousand times zero plus fifty tries to get it right… times two if you count the clone helping him. (A/N: If you get this right and send me a good review I might give you an imaginary cookie)

As he entered the training ground he looked at the descending sun and figured that it was around seven. Not seeing anyone he went to a boulder to wait for his new sensei to appear. He did not have to wait long though, for as soon as he got comfortable against the stone, his body grabbed a kunai hidden on his person to deflect a projectile flying towards his body.

He tensed when a figure appeared in front him, but he soon relaxed when he felt no malice from the figure and realized that the projectile was a dud.

In front of his was a woman who appeared to be in her early twenties. She had long purple hair and some kind of tattoo on her arm. He also saw that she had a sword across her back like he did and that she was looking him over with an expressionless face and cold calculative eyes. Though they seemed to have an impressed look.

"You are Naruto Uzumaki?" It was not a question and the tone of her voice made him stand a little straighter.

"Hai"

"You're late." She stated much to Naruto's confusion.

Seeing his confusion she explained, "I requested you to come at seven. It is seven now. If you are early, you're on time. If you are on time, you're late. If you are late, don't show up. Got it?!"

"H-Hai"

The woman walked around him, inspecting him, "Hmm, your sword, why did you not use it to defend yourself? Why use a kunai?" she asked/demanded.

"I do not yet know how to properly use my sword, m'am. I am more comfortable with a kunai than a sword at the moment, and I am more likely to injure myself if I had used it m'am," he said. He did not know why he was being so respectful but something about this woman said that her no nonsense attitude was not to be tested.

The woman nodded her head accepting his answer, before she focused was fully on Naruto.

"My name is Yugao Uzuki," the now named Yugao said, "Hokage-sama has asked me to teach you how to properly use a sword. He has also stated that I could ignore his request if I wanted but I decided to accept."

She narrowed her eyes at him causing him to gulp, "While we are together you are to show me respect. You are to do everything I tell you to when I say it without question or complaint. If you violate any of what I just said or if I find you a waste of time, these lessons will not continue. Do I make myself clear?"

"H-Hai Sensei," man she was scary.

"Good." She looked over his shoulder at his sword. "I see you brought your own sword?"

"Hai Sensei."

"Take it off. You will not need it," she demanded.

Naruto was confused, how can you have a sword lesson without a sword? But he saw Yugao narrow her eyes even more. Just daring him to question her order.

"Hai Sensei," Naruto said as he took off his sword and placed against the stone. He made a mental note that when he followed the order, she seemed to take several calming breaths. (A/N: Yugao will mellow out as time goes by, but right now she does not really want to teach anyone)

Once he returned to his position, Yugao started to walk away. Looking at him from over her shoulder she said one word, "Come," he followed.

He followed her to the entrance to the training and looked at her expectantly when she stopped.

"You see the training ground boundaries?" she said.

"Hai Sensei."

"Run," she said.

"Sensei, how far?" he asked.

"Did I say how far?" She asked narrowing her eyes.

"N-No Sensei."

"Run," she simply said.

"Hai Sensei," he said as took off.

"Stupid slave driving sensei," Naruto thought as his limped to his apartment. He figured that it was around nine but he wouldn't be surprised if it was latter.

After Yugao had told him to run, she had not told him to stop until he literally passed out from fatigue. He had ran around the training ground ten time (1 = 1.5 miles) for the better part of the first hour at full speed. He had never been so thankful for that annual demon fox hunts.

Anyway after he got a rude awakening of ice water, his sensei forced him to do push-ups and sit-ups until he could not do them anymore. Then he was to do the different stances until he had them acceptable, he know they were acceptable when Yugao stops giving him 'love taps' with her shinai. Which was one of the reasons he was limping.

But not once did he complain. The most defiance he showed was a questioning look and that was it. His performance must have been decent because he was to come back, same place same time before being dismissed.

"Why Kami, why. Why did you make all those with purple hair sadists." He thought before a movement in the corner of his eyes caught his attention.

Turning his head, he saw a figure dart across the street into an alley before pausing and repeating the process.

Curious he moved into a dark shadow and turned his hair red to better hide himself. It was not long before the figure ran across his vision and his curiosity spiked.

The figure revealed itself to be his bastard of a teacher Mizuki. Mizuki was in an all-black outfit without his leaf headband on. On his back was a large scroll and he seemed to be making a mad dash in the direction of the village exit.

"What are you up to, you bastard." He thought. He wanted to follow him but his tired and aching body forced him otherwise, so he did the next best thing.

Changing his hair color again, he picked up a rock and throw it at an anbu he saw sleeping on a nearby roof.

"What tha? Who the fuck did that," the anbu said looking around. "Oh it's you" he snarled out spotting Naruto. Jumping off the room and landing in front of him, he spoke again, "You have a lot of never doing that to me boy," the anbu said.

"Oh great, another hater," Naruto thought, "I saw Mizuki head that way," he points in Mizuki's direction, "with a giant scroll. He seemed to be sneaking around towards the village exit." Naruto said.

The anbu just looked at him, like he was trying to decide if he was going see what he was talking about, or just go back to sleep.

Naruto just limped away. Leaving the anbu to his thinking. He had done his civilian duty by reporting suspicious activity. Looking back behind him it seems that the anbu decided to follow Mizuki because he was not there anymore. He would have shrugged if he could but at the moment he was focusing on trying to get to bed before his legs gave out.

"UUUURRRGH," Naruto thought as he finally got into bed. Now that he no longer had to move, he could feel all the aches and pain that were going through his body. But after a few minutes of painful shifting he finally got comfortable enough to think about something other than his pain.

He humiliated Sasuke in a spar. He saved mankind the torture of Sakura's learned a A-rank jutsu. He got a new sword. And he got a new teacher. So all in all it was a pretty good day.

Thinking about his spar, he wondered what his mother's taijutsu style looked like…

"Fuck," Naruto said in sudden realization.

How could he of been so stupid. Even though the Uzumaki taijutsu style was made to fit each individual, it was still considered the Uzumaki style. Each person has to learn the basics before they can start to be more creative, so each person form would look similar in some shape or form.

His mother more likely than not used a version of the Uzumaki taijutsu style. That meant that if someone was watching his spar who had happened to know his mother enough to recognize her way of fighting, his secret would not stay such for long.

Groaning at his sudden realization he winced at what he now had to do. He had to learn fuinjutsu, future ninjutsu, chakra control, TWO kenjutsu, TWO taijutsu forms, and more. Most people only learn one style of fighting and spend their entire life mastering it. But him, he had to learn FOUR, two from his heritage and two for the front that Konoha sees.

Groaning to himself, he complains out loud, "Kami when did you make my life so complicated," Never had he been so grateful for picking up a book and learning something from it (Shadow Clones).

"Well at least now I have something to keep me busy for a long, long, … long … long time." Naruto thought dejectedly before he passed out from exhaustion.
