Chapter Start

Little did Iruka know that Minato was watching them at that very moment, through the Sandaime's crystal ball, left to him through the 3rd Hokage's will.

"You're right, Iruka", said Minato, "I am proud of my son right now. To be able to transform into a Kyuubi-like state and still be in control, as well as know some powerful jutsu, including the shadow clone jutsu, is an impressive feat. Yes, I am very proud of my son…"

He was taken out of his musings by knock on the door of his office. "Come in!" the blonde Hokage responded.

When the door opened, the Hokage saw two people come in. One was quite clearly a woman, one with blue hair, lavender eye shadow, and a labret piercing. The other was an Orange haired man, one with seven piercings in each ear and 6 in his nose and, surprisingly, the Rinnegan. Both were dressed in blue cloaks.

"Can I help you two?" asked Minato.

"Yes", replied the woman, "but, first, please bring Jaraiya-sensei here. We wish to talk with him as well."

Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared in the room, and out of the smoke appeared Jaraiya himself. "Somebody call me?" asked the Toad Sage.

"Why, yes. Jaraiya-sensei." Replied Minato. "How you know when you're needed I'll never know. But, these two people"-gesturing at the two people- wished to talk to the both of us about something."

Jaraiya turned to look at them, then stared at them as if he had seen a ghost. "Konan…Yahiko…is that really you?"

"Its been a long time…sensei", the woman named Konan replied, "but I'm afraid this isn't really Yahiko, I'm afraid he died a long time ago. While that is Yahiko's body, he is now Nagato, in mind and spirit."

"Yes, sensei, it's true", replied Nagato. "We created a group not long after you left us to help push our home of Amekagure toward peace, unfortunately we met with disaster. Ame's leader, Hanzo the Salamander, sent our organization a message, asking to meet with us. Something about helping us obtain the peace we've been trying to obtain. However, it was all a trap set up by Hanzo and someone else by the name of Danzo Shimura, I think it was. They had surrounded both Yahiko and myself with at least three-dozen Ame shinobi, and kidnapped Konan. They told me that I had to kill Yahiko, or she would die. Before I could do anything, Yahiko threw himself on the kunai I had in my hand, killing him. With his dying breath, he pleaded me to find peace, not just for Ame, but for the entire shinobi world as well. Hanzo would've killed Konan, had she not used a Kawarimi to replace herself with a nearby rock. Almost instantly, Hanzo ordered the other Ame shinobi to attack and they all launched shuriken, jutsu, or kunai at us. If it weren't for my Rinnegan we would've been dead right there. I repelled the attack using the statue of the outer path, and defeated all of the Ame shinobi, minus Hanzo and Danzo, who left after Hanzo gave the order to have us eliminated. Using that technique however, left my body all but destroyed. Using a forbidden jutsu I learned, the Soul Replacement Jutsu, I was able to put my soul, mind, and abilities, into Yahiko's body."

Nagato then looked at Jaraiya, who was in tears at the news of one of his pupils deaths. "I'm sorry I couldn't have trained you better than I did, I'm sorry I fai-" Jaraiya was cut off his apology by a hug from Konan.

"Don't apologize for anything, Jaraiya-sensei," Konan said, "you trained us the best you could. Yahiko's death wasn't your fault. It was Hanzo's and Danzo's fault, no one else's."

"Yes, Jaraiya-sensei", agreed Nagato. "You are not to blame for Yahiko's death."

"Thank you, Konan…Nagato…" replied Jaraiya.

"Anyway back to the topic at hand", Minato said, "You said you wanted to speak with me about something, Nagato?"

"Yes, Yondaime-sama", replied Nagato, "it involves your son, Naruto…"

(Timeskip no Jutsu)

(At the Academy)

Naruto, along with Karui and Fu, were talking about team placements. Fu and Karui were wearing there usual garments, while Naruto was wearing red and black pants, his regular sandals which somehow survived the battle, a blue shirt with the kanji "Fox" on it and a black jacket, all of which Kurama whipped up, besides the sandals. Seeing as about every other article of clothing would just tear when he transformed (even though Karui and Fu loved to see him without a shirt XD) Naruto just didn't want to tear one of his shirts every fight he used his werefox form. So the Kyuubi came up with his own solution. Using his chakra, Kurama made Naruto a set of clothes that would be absorbed into his body whenever he transformed, and when he returned to looking like a human, the clothes would return to his body without a tear in them.

"Well, girls, today we finally find out what our teams are." Naruto said. "Think we'll all be a team together?"

"I don't know, Naruto-kun", replied Karui. "All I know is I wouldn't want to be placed on a team with that bastard Uchiha, OR one of his fangirls."

"Me too", replied Fu, "I don't think I could remain sane if I was placed on a team like that.

"Agreed", said Naruto, "If I had to listen to one of them, especially Sakura, talk about how cool Sasuke is in that fangirl voice they have, I don't know how long it would be before I …'changed…and made her fox chow."

"Uh, you're kidding right, Naruto-kun?" asked Fu.

"Of course, Fu-chan", Naruto replied, "I may be 'different' but that doesn't mean I'm a killer because of my 'condition'. At that, both girls let out a relieved sigh. Neither of them wanted their beloved Naruto to be imprisoned or, worse, executed.

As they looked around the classroom they noticed that neither Sakura or Ino were present. That got them to thinking that maybe they didn't pass the exams, which, secretly, put a smile on their faces. However, that thought was easily shattered when the door opened and a deafening, familiar screech yelled, "SASUKE-KUN!"

'Well, at least it was quiet for a few minutes', Naruto, Fu, and Karui thought, sweatdropping as they watched Sakura and Ino start their usual 'I'M SITTING NEXT TO SASUKE-KUN!' war.

All right, class, settle down", said Iruka, who had just walked in the room. "Before I announce the teams for this year I'd like to say it has been a pleasure teaching all of you and I hope you'll all make good names for yourselves. Ok, first off, team one will be…"

(AN: I'm not even going to bother naming teams 1-6 since they contribute ABSOLUTELY nothing to the plot of the story.)

"…Team 7 will be composed of Karui, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha, Jonin sensei: Kakashi Hatake…"

That got Karui to slam her head on the desk, not wanting to be on the same team as a Teme fangirl, or the Teme himself, Sasuke was acting like he didn't care, while Sakura seemed happy with the news, thinking that this was true love's coming through for her and fate and all that crap.

"...Team 8 will be a 4 person squad composed of Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuga, and Fu…" This got Kiba to smirk arrogantly and Fu to slam her head on her desk as well. She had no problem with Shino or Hinata, who she, Karui, and Naruto were good friends with, but the arrogant Inuzuka was a different story, as he had made many passes at her over the years, and much to her, Karui, and Naruto's Frustration, still attempted to flirt with her.

…Team 9 is still in circulation, and Team 10 will be composed of Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi."

"Wait a minute, Iruka-sensei, why wasn't my name called?" questioned Naruto.

"Maybe your father saw the light and figured a dobe like you wasn't meant to be a ninja", Sasuke spat arrogantly.

"NOBODY ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION, TEME!" Naruto exclaimed, releasing a small amount of killer intent. "But seriously, why wasn't my name called?"

"Well, about that…The Hokage wants to talk to you about that personally, Naruto." replied Iruka.

'WHAT?!' Sasuke thought, 'Why's this dobe getting special treatment? I'm an Uchiha, I deserve the best!'

"Well, that's it, class. I hope you all make our village, and me, proud." Iruka finished, stepping out of the room.

"Well girls, guess I'll see you later" Naruto said, "looks like I gotta meet with Old Man Hokage about my team placement."

"Ok, Naruto-kun," Fu said, planting a kiss on his lips, "how about we all meet at Ichiraku's tonight? Say about 8?"

"Sounds lovely, Fu-chan." Naruto said.

"Just make sure not to make another deal with a Werewolf." Joked Karui, planting a kiss on Naruto's lips.

"I'll try, Karui-chan." Naruto joked back as he left.

(at the Hokage's Office)

Minato was talking with Nagato and Konan, when the sound of knocking interrupted them.

"Come in!" Minato said.

As Naruto entered, Konan asked, "So this is your son, Yondaime-sama?"

"Yes, Konan", answered Minato, "This is my son, Naruto."

"Hey, Pops!" Naruto said, "Iruka said you wanted to see me about my team placement?"

"Yes, I do, Naruto", replied Minato, "but, first, let me introduce to you these two people here, Konan and Nagato, former students of Jaraiya-sensei"

"It's nice to meet you, Naruto", said Konan, extending her hand.

"Likewise", replied Naruto.

"Naruto Namikaze…it's an honor to meet Jaraiya-sensei's godchild", said Nagato.

"Uh, thanks", said Naruto, "So you guys were Pervy Sages students?"

This got laughs out of Konan and, surprisingly, a few chuckles out of Nagato. "Yes Naruto, Jaraiya-sensei was once our teacher. You know you're the first person to call a Sannin by that kind of name that we've ever met."

"Yes, well, back to the topic at hand", Minato said. "I watched your fight with Mizuki last night – and before you say anything, no you aren't in trouble for that either – and apparently these two know about it as well."

"What! How do they know?" asked Naruto.

"I have paper clones all over the ninja land", replied Konan, "I can make my body mado of paper and use is to create clones of myself, use it as a shield, or use it as a weapon. It's kind of my kekkai genkai."

Wow", Naruto replied, "so does that mean that you know about my-"

"Yes, Naruto", Nagato said, flashing his Rinnegan, "we know about your Ocular jutsu as well. It's the same as mine in fact."

'Whoa', Naruto thought, 'this guy has the Rinnegan too?'

"Aaanyway, Naruto." Minato said, "Instead of being placed on a normal team like all the others, you'll be doing missions with Nagato, here, as your Jonin sensei. He proposed the idea to me last night and I feel like he's right. He's the only one who can teach you the art of the Rinnegan."

"That is", said Nagato, allowing himself to smile, "if you'll have me, of course."

"Well", Naruto said, also flashing his Rinnegan, "if Pervy Sage trained you, then I'd be honored to take you up on your offer, Nagato-sensei, believe it!"

All three adults chuckled at Naruto's antics and Nagato thought, 'This kid's going to be a great ninja someday.'

Chapter end

AN: In case of any confusion, lets just say the Nagato somehow fused, with the jutsu I made up, Soul Truansfer Jutsu, with his Deva Path body. I've never really seen someone use Nagato as a good guy in a fanfic, people usually have him either die before the final fight as Pain or he is the leader of the final fight so I wanted to try something different. Besides I needed someone to teach Naruto the art of the Rinnegan and, honestly, I'm pretty sure Nagato's the only one with the Rinnegan in the series. Hopefully you guys liked this chapter and I hope you like the next one.

P.S: the Soul Transfer Jutsu Nagato used is another jutsu I created. I'm not sure if there's something like that in the series, but, hey, if people can use jutsus to create illusions, breath fire, and create heavy mist I'm sure there could be a jutsu like that. Peace out, viewers!
