Hey everyone, how's it going? Got a lot of good reviews last chapter and I want to thank each of you for your support. I want to thank xihimagicianx for pointing out a fact with the kamui. Thanks to this reviewer, I have decided to give Naruto amaterasu and tsukuyomi. I have also decided to add Fuu into the pairing with Hinata and Ino. One other thing, this is the last chapter I had pre-written. I will be writing the rest from scratch as they come to me so the updates won't be as fast as they have been these last four chapter. Anyways on with the chapter.
Naruto awoke to the sound of animals in the back ground and loud breathing coming from beside him. He sat up and found himself in a large open field. Looking around he saw the large fox and realized he was in his mindscape. "What am I doing here Kurama?"
"After that sword imbedded itself in your chest, your team and team ten rushed you to the bridge builder's house. Your sensei started to heal you but noticed that I had already started working to repair the damage. I managed to fix you up pretty good but it took quite a bit out of both of us. You will have a little soreness for about a day but nothing you can't handle." The fox explained.
"Can you tell who all is around? And do you know anything about who attacked us?"
"Your sensei and teammates took the bridge builder so he could work on the bridge. Teams ten and seven are around training somewhere. That Yamanaka girl has been stopping by every so often to check on you. From what I can sense, she seems upset about something every time she comes around. As for who attacked you and the others, it was Zabuza Momochi. Your mother faced off against him once before and I would remember his chakra anywhere and he is one of the seven swordsman of the mist. I'm not too sure about anything else since your sensei rushed you here." The fox replied before closing his eyes.
"Alright, thanks Kurama. I'll talk to you later." Naruto said with a wave as he disappeared from his mind.

Naruto opened his eyes and had to close them quickly. The sun decided it wanted to be the first thing that greeted him and was shining directly in his eyes. He started to set up and was met with the soreness Kurama had told him about as he did so. After he was sitting up straight, he decided to remove the bandages on his chest. As he finished removing the last bandage, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Naruto said as he looked for the scroll that had his belongings sealed inside it.
Ino opened the door and stepped in before closing it. She turned to face Naruto to talk to him but stopped when she saw his bare torso. She felt her cheeks get warm but quickly shook her head to clear it, she came here for something else and couldn't get distracted.
"How are you feeling Naruto? You're not hurting or anything are you?" Ino asked.
"I'm fine Ino. I'm a little sore but that will pass soon enough. So what can I help you with?" Naruto asked his fellow blond.
Ino sat down on the bed next to Naruto and stared at the floor. "I wanted to thank you and say I'm sorry."
"What are you talking about Ino? I just did what anyone else would do for a teammate. There is no need to apologize or thank me for anything." Naruto said with a fox like smile that caused Ino to blush once again.
"Not any one would have done that Naruto. I want to thank you for saving me and I also want to say that I'm sorry. If I wouldn't have frozen like that, you wouldn't have got hit by that sword." Ino replied.
Naruto wanted to tell her that she didn't need to apologize or thank him but he saw the look in her eyes and thought better of it. "Do you know what happened after I passed out?" Naruto asked.
"Asuma-sensei stayed behind with team seven to hold off Zabuza Momochi and Ichigo Kurosaki, two missing nin from Kiri. Sometime during the fight, both Kakashi and Asuma-sensei got captured in a water prison jutsu but team seven managed to free them. They continued fighting and Kakashi and Asuma was about to win but a hunter nin showed up and killed the two missing nin and took the bodies. They made it here about two hours after we did." Ino explained what she had heard when Asuma and Kurenai had talked.
Naruto was deep in thought for a few minutes until something came to him. "Did Asuma or Kakashi-sensei say what the hunter nin used to kill the two?" Naruto asked.
"Sakura said that the hunter nin used senbon. Why?"
"I don't think the hunter nin killed them. They were probably working together. A hunter nin disposes of the body on sight and only takes back the head as proof that the job was finished. Also, senbon isn't used as a weapon to inflict fatal wounds." Naruto answered.
"Then what are we going to do?" Ino asked with a bit of worry in her voice.
"We train to get stronger and be ready for anything that might happen. I would give it about a week before those two are ready to go again." Naruto replied as he collected his things to leave the room.
"Can I ask you something Naruto-kun?" Ino asked before she realized what she said and blushed. "Where the hell did that come from?" she thought quietly.
"I thought you only used that suffix for the Uchiha? What do you want to ask?" Naruto replied.
"Sasuke isn't the guy I thought he was. He was laughing at you because you got hit with the sword when you saved me. Anyways, would you help me train? I have seen the way you and your team train and I would like help. I don't want to end up freezing in place anymore and I don't want my friends getting hurt because of me." Ino said hoping he would help her train.
"Of course I'll help. But know one thing, it won't be easy. Also, you need to eat more. If you have been dieting or whatever it needs to stop. The training will just burn away what you eat anyways so you can still keep your body however you want it." Naruto said as he led Ino outside.

Team eight and Tazuna came returned home later that evening to find Naruto standing on the bank of the river shouting orders at team ten while throwing small pebbles at them. Sitting on the porch of the house was an amused Asuma smoking a cigarette with a smile on his face. Kurenai walked up and sat down in one of the available chairs.
"What's going on here?" Kurenai asked.
"Not sure myself but I don't mind really. Naruto and Ino came out of the house shortly after you all left and Naruto started helping her with the tree climbing exercise. A few hours later and Chouji and surprisingly Shikamaru joined in. Not long after that and Naruto had them walking on water and learning to dodge, move, and fight on water. I haven't seen them like this at all. They must have realized that it isn't easy being a ninja and decided to take things seriously. Looks like you might have problems too Kurenai." Asuma said pointing at a slightly fuming Hyuuga.
Kurenai looked over and saw Hinata trying to stare holes through Ino. She knew the young Hyuuga had a crush on Naruto. They had talked about it and Kurenai even explained to her that she may end up having to share the blond at some point in life. It just seemed the Hyuuga heiress wasn't too thrilled about that.
"Naruto, team ten, come here for a minute please." Kurenai shouted from her spot on the porch.
The four genin walked over to Kurenai and she gave Naruto a small hand motion in Hinata's direction. Naruto looked over and realized what she was meaning. Naruto wasn't as clueless as everyone thought he was. He knew Hinata liked him and he had to admit that she was a great girl. But he also knew that he would need multiple wives to restore the Uzumaki clan to its former glory. He had talked to his jiji and nee-chan about it and he had decided that he would only chose the ones that would return the feelings he had for them and could share him with other females.
"Naruto, since team seven isn't due back from training for a another hour or two, I think you may need to explain a few things if you wouldn't mind." Kurenai said getting sigh and a nod from Naruto.
Naruto made team ten promise not to repeat anything due to it being an s-class secret. He told them who his parents were and of his Uzumaki heritage. Team ten was surprised that Naruto was actually royalty and had such strong and famous parents. Ino had other thoughts going through her head about what Naruto had said about needing more than one wife to restore his clan.
"What I say next is also an s-class secret if not higher than that due to certain circumstances. This is not to be even remotely spoke of or hinted at with anyone other than this group and hokage-jiji." Naruto said in a tone that left no room for argument. Getting nods of agreement from those surrounding him he closed his eyes and began to focus his chakra.
"This is the bloodline that hokage-jiji was talking about back in the village sensei." Naruto said opening eyes to reveal two fully mature sharingans, each eye now had three tomoes.
Everyone was surprised at what they were seeing. "How Naruto? I thought the only sharingans left were with Sasuke, Kakashi, and Itachi." Asuma said after a few minutes.
"My father was part Uchiha, he father and my grandfather was Madara Uchiha." Naruto said as he went to explain what he had learned from meeting his father and reading the scrolls left to him. "The last thing I found out, is that I am actually from the royal line of the Uzumaki. The Uzumaki clan was divided almost like the Hyuuga clan is now, but neither line never had any ill feelings toward the other line of Uzumaki."
Before anyone could say anything else, team seven came walking out of the forest towards the house. Naruto had yet to get any training done because of helping team ten. "I am going to go out and train for a while sensei." Naruto said getting a nod from Kurenai.

Naruto was jolted awake from Kurama yelling in his mind. "What the hell do you want?" Naruto asked.
"I have been trying to wake your ass for half an hour. Someone has been watching you for a while now. I don't sense any negative emotions but I figured you would at least like to know." Kurama replied.
Naruto gave a mental nod and stood up off the ground. "I know you're there, come on out!" Naruto shouted. A few moments later and a girl that looked to only be a year or two older than Naruto stepped out from behind a tree. She had long black hair, pale skin and dark-brown eyes. She was dressed in a light blue kimono with a snow flake pattern on it.
"I didn't meant to make it seem like I was spying on. I noticed your headband and I haven't had a great past with ninjas. My name is Haku. May I ask what you are doing out here?" the girl asked.
"The names Naruto Uzumaki. I was helping my friends train and didn't get time to do so myself yesterday. I came out here late yesterday evening and must have fell asleep. What about you?" Naruto asked.
"I came to collect some medical herbs for my father and brother. They were hurt a few days back and I am hoping to make some medicine to help them." The girl replied.
"You think she could be the one who helped Zabuza and Ichigo?" Naruto asked.
"Just ask her about it. If she is lying you will know." The fox replied.
"So how bad is Zabuza and Ichigo?" Naruto asked.
"Who is this Zabuza and Ichigo you speak of?" Haku asked. Naruto could immediately tell she was lying thanks to Kurama being able to sense the negative emotions.
"Please don't lie Haku. I do not intend to hunt them down. Just let them know that I cannot allow them or you to bring harm to Tazuna or his family." Naruto said as he stood and started walking back towards the house.
Arriving back at Tazuna's house, he saw team seven training with the tree climbing exercise. He started to walk past him when Sasuke spoke up. "Where have you been dobe?" asked the Uchiha.
"Although it's none of your business Uchiha, I was out training last night." Naruto replied.
"What good will training do you? You will never be as good as me." Sasuke boasted.
"Kit, please take this arrogant prick down a few pegs." Kurama almost begged from the seal.
Naruto gave a mental nod to his friend before looking back up at the Uchiha. "Care to prove that Sasuke? Let's have a spar right now. Taijutsu, ninjutsu, anything is acceptable." Naruto said getting the attention of teams ten and eight that had just walked out of the house.
"Fine, you should be honored that I'm even giving you this chance." Sasuke said as he walked over in front of Naruto.
"Asuma-sensei, will you referee the spar?" Naruto asked getting a nod from the smoking jonin.
"You gonna use your blade or the sharingan?" asked the fox.
"No, Kakashi was my dad's student so he would know more about my mother's blade and scythe than anyone. And I don't want anyone else knowing about the sharingan just yet. I really don't want to deal with all the bullshit the council would pull if they found out anything about me." Naruto replied getting a nod from the fox.
"You both ready?" Asuma asked getting nods. "Then begin." He said as he jumped back. Sasuke rushed forward thinking he could end the spar quickly. He threw a punch at Naruto's face only to have the blond knock his fist to the side. Sasuke then tried to spin kick Naruto in the side only to have the blond catch his leg before pushing him backwards causing him to roll away.
Sasuke stood up and glared at Naruto before going through a set of hand signs. "Fire style: fire ball jutsu!" Sasuke shouted as he breathed out a large fire ball. Naruto just stood there causing team ten to worry a bit. The fire ball hit Naruto's location and exploded against the ground.
"He was even too scared to avoid my jutsu. The dobe really was pathetic." Sasuke laughed. Team ten soon stopped worrying when they saw Naruto silently appear behind Sasuke.
"You really are arrogant aren't you? A first year academy student could have dodged that." Naruto said causing Sasuke to growl as he quickly turned around with a kunai intending on stabbing the blond. Naruto ducked under the swing and delivered a powerful uppercut to Sasuke's chin sending the Uchiha into the air. Naruto then appeared above him and delivered a strong axe kick sending him rocketing straight back to the ground. Naruto landed and waited for Sasuke to pull himself to a standing position.
Naruto quickly made his own set of hand signs and stomped the ground causing a large slab of rock to spring up in front of him. "Earth style: stone bullet barrage." Naruto shouted as he started punching the slab sending stones flying at Sasuke. The Uchiha managed to avoid most of them, but took a few hard hits to the legs and stomach.
"Shadow clone jutsu." Naruto said as he made the cross hand sign and a clone appeared beside him. Naruto and his clone started making a quick set of hand signs. "Water style: raging current." The clone shouted as he blew a stream of water from his mouth that drenched the Uchiha and ground around him.
"That jutsu was horrible. All it did was make my clothes wet." Sasuke said with a smirk that soon vanished when he saw Naruto's own smirk.
"I purposely held back the power on that jutsu Sasuke. It was part one of me ending this spar. Lightning style: electromagnetic murder." Naruto held out his hands as lightning shot from his fingers and headed for Sasuke. The lighting moved from puddle to puddle created by Naruto's water jutsu before slamming into Sasuke's body. The Uchiha let out a scream of pain before drifting into unconsciousness.
Asuma called the spar in Naruto's favor and Kakashi and the rest of team seven took Sasuke inside. Everyone congratulated Naruto before his stomach started rumbling. "Sorry guys but I'm hungry. Let me get something to eat and then we'll get some training done." Naruto said and walked inside to eat.
And there's chapter four. I know some of you all might not like Ino's turn around but I am going based off a personal experience that happened with one of my closest friends. During the process of writing this chapter I got a few more votes for girls to add to the pairing. Fuu will definitely be added but people also want Haku added as well. Let me know what you think. If she doesn't get added then I already have plans for her later in the story.
Now like I said, this is the last chapter I already had wrote down so the updates will be just a bit slower. I also got an idea for a new story from thegodofanime that will hopefully post the first chapter to this weekend. The idea and most of the stuff in the story will be from him/her with me just adding stuff in here and there.
Well, I think that's all I have to say for now so I will see you all next chapter.
