It's been 3 days since the Academy genin exams for Kumo. For the last 3 days, those that have passed the test have been doing whatever they wanted to do. Some went ahead and relax for a bit, others continue to train hard, and the last had prepared on what they would need.

For Naruto, it had been 3 days of nothing but personal thought and issues. The last 3 days were nothing more than thinking and rethinking about what the Raikage had said to him. The day he took his genin exams was also the day that the Raikage told him that his parents were the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, and the former jinchuriki of Kyuubi, Kushina Uzumaki.

He had so many thoughts. 1st, he thought about his father, the one that saved Konoha, the one that seal the kyuubi inside him, and the one that even now he considered his hero was his father. There were so many thought and feels going through him that he felt completely lost.

He questioned on why the 4th used his own son to seal the Kyuubi in him? He then question on why the 3rd, who acted like his grandfather sometimes, didn't tell him that he was the son of the greatest hokage konoha has ever had? Or why the 3rd lie to him in his face the few times he asked on who his parents are? He was completely confused about the whole situation.

He then thought about his mother. For the 1st time, he now knew why he didn't have a mother, because he knew from Yugito and Killer B that told him, that once a biju is pulled out from the jinchuriki, the jinchuriki would die. He wondered so many times on what his mother was like, that he cried himself to sleep on nights he could sleep, thinking that she abandoned him because of what his father did or because she died with him. He was happy to know that she died since now he knew he was never abandoned and was glad to finally know what her name was.

Even though he was somewhat happy to know that his parents did abandon him, other questions popped into his head. Did they love him? Was he a mistake? Why did they die? For a while, that along with other things just kept eating at him. He even trained himself to exhaustion to try to think clearly about the situation.

Thankfully, Yugito came to help him. The Raikage explained to her about the bet he made with Naruto about his parents identity. Yugito was surprised to know about the bet they made years ago. Yugito wanted to know on whose Naruto's parents are since she was just as curious, but A said to talk to Naruto about it since he is the only one to have that right to say who are his parents.

Yugito talked to Naruto for a bit, which helped him out for a bit since Yugito helped answer some of Naruto's more easier questions, but questions about feelings or about the past, where the ones that were left unanswered. In the end, Naruto was able to put some of his issues away, but he still had other questions, mostly about his heritage since he knew he was from the Uzumaki clan and now from the Namikaze clan, but for now, he was contempt on knowing his family.

Academy

The students that pass Kumo's genin exam were waiting in their old classroom for the last time, to see who well be teamed up. Naruto was sitting in the left row, center table, left seat where the windows were located. He looked outside through the window, just watching the day go by. He is currently thinking on who would be on his team since he only wanted 2 people to join him, Samui and Omoi.

After waiting for a while, everyone was now calmly sitting down on the seats they picked when the sensei came into the room. Omoi took his seat next to Naruto, which Naruto silently was thankful because Omoi help keep his fan girl away from him. He saw Samui sitting in the front center row of the class.

"Alright class, this would probably be the last time we see each other in class. From this point, what you do well not only impact you but also in Kumo, so work hard and stay safe. Now, for the team placements, where we will tell you where you'll then meet your sensei."

The shinobi then started to go down the list, giving each potential genin the team they were assigned. Many kunoichi wanted to be on Naruto's team, while the male wanted to be in a team with Samui. It went on until it reach team 8.

"Next… team 8 will consist of Sora, Rio, and S. Your sensei will be Saito."

"Now for team 9… Naruto Uzumaki…" this caught Naruto attention, as well as almost every available kunoichi that hasn't yet been place on a team, "… Samui, Omio, and Karui… your sensei will be Killer Bee."

Naruto was surprised to know that Killer Bee will be his sensei, but figured that the Raikage would want someone who can teach Naruto on how to control his biju (which he thought it would be Yugito), while also making sure his other 3 teammates will be well trained. He was also surprised to see Karui would be his 4th teammate, since she was one of the few girls that don't want to date him.

Samui was surprised as well, which she barely showed it on her face, knowing that the Raikage's brother will be teaching him, while pleased to know that Naruto would be on her team as well as Omio. She, of course, was upset to know that Karui would be on her team since she knew that Karui isn't up to snip yet, but she has proven that she was an average kenjutsu fighter.

The shinobi instructors continue on with the last team, where they then told each team on where to meet their sensei. After that, they were all dismissed.

With Team 9

Naruto and Samui were walking along side each other, while Omoi and Karui walked behind them. As they walked, Karui tried to figure out on what to say since it was eerily quiet among them. Before she can say anything, Samui spoke up.

"So Naruto-san… Do you mind explaining to me on why you've been so quiet today? You usually more active than you really are? So what seems to be the problem?" Samui asked with curiosity

Omoi was also just as curious since he knows Naruto pretty well to know that something must be bugging him. Karui was the only one that didn't understand on what they meant. Karui was one of the few girls that actually didn't act like a fan girl, but still had some feelings for him, but was still unaware on how Naruto acted since she never actually became friends with him.

Naruto thought about Samui's question for a minute since this was really hard matter to speak about, one that he still has yet to settle. He thought about it until he decided to tell them cause, Samui might give him her 2 cents about the matter.

"What if you find out that you're the legacy of not one but two of the greatest shinobi in the world, which one you admired for so long, while the other is from a legendary clan? As well as knowing that your father was the one that cursed you?" explained Naruto

That got all three of his teammates into a surprised and curious mode. For Karui, she couldn't believe that Naruto was the legacy of 2 powerful shinobi, which was one of many things that Naruto's fan club wanted to know.

Samui and Omoi were just as interested since they knew a lot about Naruto and for him to say something like that was kinda weird.

Omoi decided to break the silence saying, "Dude… what do you mean?" asked

"I spoke to the Raikage a couple of days ago since I won the bet that we made a couple of years ago. Even though the 3rd Hokage kept a secret from me, even before I was brought to Kumo, it didn't mean that there were others that didn't know who knew him and can't put 2 and 2 together with me." Said Naruto

"What are you talking about Naruto-san?" question Samui

"Raikage-sama told about my mother and father." Answered Naruto

This surprised even Samui since she knew that Naruto doesn't know who his parents were from the times they talked, eat and trained together. She always wondered who they were; since she in the same boat as him and didn't know her own parents but learned something about them from her older brother. She especially knew that Naruto wanted to know who they were. But now, she couldn't help but wonder on whose legacy that Naruto was carrying.

Omio and Karui were just as stunned about the situation. Omoi couldn't believe that the Raikage could tell Naruto or know such a secret, while Karui wondered on who his parents were since the way he said, his parents must be powerful people.

Before they can even press on about the subject, Naruto just said to drop it since he still has issues about it for now. Samui and the others agreed with Naruto's request and decided to just meet up with their new sensei.

Later

It's been about a few minutes when Naruto and the others reached the meeting place, where they waited for Killer Bee. The meeting was located at the same place where Naruto 1st went to when he learned that he was the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi, at a park near the lake.

They only waited for a bit before Killer Bee showed up and of course he showed up in his own style.

"Hey boys and girls… it's me you see… your new sensei… the great killer Bee… ah yeah!" yelled out Killer Bee

Everyone saw Killer Bee come out of the lake in his biju mode, which surprised everyone, even Naruto since this the 1st time that he has seen Killer Bee go biju. When everyone saw the Hachibi form, they were scared, but then surprised when it shrunk down into Killer Bee himself.

He then walked up to them to greet them more properly, which was bumping fists. Naruto was the 1st to get out of the shock feeling that Killer Bee gave them; he gave him a fist bump. Samui was the 2nd to come out of the shock feeling, then Omoi and Karui.

Samui, Omoi and Karui saw Naruto bump fists together which they both greeted each other like usual. Then Bee turned to his 3 other new student and held out a fist. They were curious about it, whuch Naruto explained to them.

"Guys, he wants you to bump fists with him. This is Bee-sensei's way of greeting new people."

The others nodded, which each one gave him a fist bump. After that, Bee did his weird rap on everyone saying to introduce themselves so they can know each other better.

Naruto decided to go up 1st, "Hi, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, gardening, fuinjutsu, and my friends. My dislikes are people who mistreat others for something they don't understand. My hobbies are training hard, studying in new fuinjutsu, gardening. My dream is for one day to start a family, being a master Fuinjutsu and become the next Raikage."

After Naruto introduced himself, the others went up.

"My name is Samui. My likes are a secret. My dislikes are people who aren't cool. My hobbies are training, improving my kenjutsu, reading cool books. My dreams are none of your business." Samui plainly said.

Next Omoi and Karui told their team about what they like, dislike, hobbies and dreams. After the genin tell a little bit about themselves, Killer Bee rapped away his own introduction.

"Now with your intro is done-o… It's time for the rhyme master, Killer Bee to sing up his intro." Rapped Bee, as he did it in his own hip hop dance way.

"My name is Killer Bee, you see. I'm the eight-tail beast you see. I like my bro as well as my swords. I don't dis anyone or anything. I like to write and sing my rhymes. And my dream is my own tale to tell." Which everyone had a sweat drop on their heads.

After introducing each other, Killer Bee stayed there was 1 more test for them to take before they can become genin. Karui complained about it, while Omoi was worried on what kind of impossible test they might have to take. Naruto and Samui weren't worried since they thought they'll be able to handle it.

Karui the shouted out, "What kind of test our we taking then for us to become shinobi.?"

'Killer Bee just smirked, saying, "That's my tale to tell. Come at the morn' in my turf to find out the task at hand."

With that, Killer Bee told them were to meet in the morning and left his possible genin team to be ready for tomorrow.

Till next time
