Naruto: The twin foxes

by tiszt95

What hapens, when a young boy find a little hurt fox, save it, help it to grow, and they become brothers in everything but blood? What hapens when an outside force, change a jutsu, to change their future forever?

5. Time to be a Shinobi

Days and months just flew by, for the Twin Foxes. They made a lot of progress, and learned jutsus from the Uchiha library. They got a lot of things from that, and tried to convince Sasuke to do the same, considering the fact that there where jutsus what only the sharingan could read, but he said no every time, and despite the questions never answered why. The progress was okay, and they where ready to go for the exam.

The day before the shinobi exam

Sasuke was training. He know he can make it to genin, and considering this was the week he become shinobi he decided to start the ninjutsu training. There was a rule that no Uchiha can learn them before he made to genin. There where only one way one can do that before that, and only a few day prior to that. That was If the person learned the great fireball jutsu before he become genin. He was ready to learn them, even if he let his teachers learn from them, it was his way of saying thanks and paying for their hard work. Sasuke may have had a few broken bones thanks to them, but if that was what it took to become stronger, than he was ready to do it.

"I see so you started to train jutsus now. Its nod a bad choice to learn the double head hunter jutsu. Its useful for sneak attacks or even for surprise attacks." said Naruto surprising Sasuke, who did not know they arrived, or the fact he wanted to come. He almost started to speak when Kurama arrived too, what meant they wanted to speak to him about something.

"What brings you here?" asked Sasuke on a somewhat demanding voice to try and hide the fact, that he did not know they where here.

"We come here to show you how we are." started Kurama.

"You may have had figured it out already, but considering you soon will have a jonin sensei we thought it would be the best, if you learn who we are."

"Why now? Why not before this?" asked Sasuke, surprised he learn they name. He lost hope he will ever know and now… it was in front of him.

"Well I was sure you figured it out, considering how many hint you got while we where around you." said Naruto.

"But I considered the possibility that you did not. Even with your knowledge, that 7 or 8 tip you got may have been hard to get." said Kurama.

"Before you say anything it's not a prank, or any for of test. We already trust you enough for a while, but this is the perfect time for this." Naruto gave his two cent to the matter, before Kurama and him fist bumped and turned back to their original forms.

Naruto was the same old Naruto, who is known by everyone. Kurama was a bit big considering he was a fox not a wolf. He had the size to be one. And a big one at that. He was three foot high. Naruto could sit on his back, and let Kurama run around, considering how strong Kurama was. On one of the academy training days, a three fall down because it had a lot of insect in it, and fell on a younger girl, but Kurama just when under the three next to the girl, and stood up, with the three on his back. It was more than surprising.

Sasuke was surprised ans shocked. His teachers, the two person who where so close to beat Itachi wasn't just his age, no. One of them was a fox, what was a surprise in itself, even if he saw how did they look like, but the other person… he started to get the picture, why was he the one who come the most to help him, and why did they become rivals in the academy, but seeing it whit his own eyes…

"It is too much to take in?" asked Naruto. "I am still the same old me. I mean tomorrow our student-teacher relationship will end, and if we end up in the same team, we wanted you to know who we where. We shouldn't tell it Jiji or our soon to be sensei, and I see a lot of chance we becoming teammates." Sasuke started to gather his thoughts.

Sure it was a big hit. He was learning things from someone his age, who had worse grades than him, but there was something that told him, this will change nothing on the long run. Yes they had worse grades, but if it come to fight, or get out of a bad situation they where the best people to do it, and have a connection with. He saw countless time, how they where able to lose the ANBU in both form whenever they needed to do it. They had more experience than he, and that meant something.

"Well its hard to take in." said Sasuke.

"But?" asked Naruto.

"I see why did you helped me the first time, and why did you started to teach me. I even see how you where able to beat me in taijutsu spars as yourself, even after I started to have some ground against you, in your other form, but what is that?" come the question from Sasuke

"Well it is a really strange thing, but the sort answer is sage mode." when Naruto said this Sasuke was surprised… no not surprised, horrified that someone his age can do THAT. It wasn't a question anymore how he was able to fight with Itachi.

"How, and why, and..." Sasuke was at a loss of words.

"Well we did not know for a while, but the resemblance was two close to be ignored. It is Fox sage mode, what mean we kind of share our chacra with each other. It is possible that way, because Kurama is special. His chacra is natural energy, what is needed to enter sage mode. How it is possible is beyond us, because that much natural energy without any normal chacra would kill anyone else, but he somehow different.

"So you are telling me, that you two are able to use THE sage mode?" asked back Sasuke who had still problems believing it.

"Well one type of sage mode. There is a few we know of, like the one the first hokage used. We think that was natural sage mode, somewhat stronger than the others, what he got because his mukoton. Then there is Jiraya. His is the frog sage mode, and we have the fox sage mode. I want to say they are the same, but before that I need to reach his level without it, and fight him in his form, while I use my the fox, and that will took a few more year at best..." said Naruto, before he looked at Kurama. "Yes but still it would be cool."

"Would you please share it with me?" asked Sasuke.

"Well Jiraya is out of his prime, so he can not fight in his best. Its a shame really, but that is something." said Naruto. "Oh and before you ask, no he can not speak while we are back to normal."

"Why should I… who did you tell before me?" asked Sasuke somewhat angry for being the second one to learn this secret. They taught him. They where his teachers and they did NOT told him first?

"Hinata-chan of course. I gave her a few idea before we started to teach you, and she speaking with me as me is a lot less suspicious than she speaking whit me in my sage form." answered Naruto.

"Wait that mean she is holding back too? Is she stronger than you in your normal form?" asked Sasuke wanting to know more.

"She is using her clan tajutsu in school and I don't know. We never had the chance to spar without someone spying on us, so I never saw it."

"I see." said Sasuke while he started to think 'She is someone who got his interest without any dangerous thing happening to her. Why? Could be she so strong on her own? No he is not like that. But if that is the case…'

"Now what do you think, will we be in the same team? I mean they forced my grades to the worst they could do, which made me the dead last of the class while you become the rocky of the year. Most of the time the best and the worst is in one team." said Naruto

"There will be a few exam tomorrow. You will make it trough, and get a better grade than the worst. They may can do something to your written exam, but there is still the taijutsu, kunai trowing, and ninjutsu so you can come back to the middle of the class." come the answer from Sasuke.

"You are right, but who knows what they will do to make me drop out. Iruka is the only one who I can trust, even after most don't do anything anymore..."

"What do you mean?" asked Sasuke, with great interest.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." answered Naruto after figuring out he said to much.

After this the two boy had a little friendly spar before Naruto and Kurama went to do other important thing's. One of them was meeting with a lavender haired girl, who was already at the meeting place, when the boys arrived.

"I hope you did not waited too long." said Naruto coming to the clearing in the woods the two said they meet for spars, if they can help it.

"No. I just lost my "guardian". You are punctual like always." Answered Hinata.

She changed a lot because of Naruto. Her shy demeanor changed into a mask she wear to make her look weaker. Her Clothing was hiding her figure, but just for increasing the effect, but she soon changed into her battle stance. It was hard to see any difference between this and the juken Naruto noted for himself. There were only two difference. The first was that the stance looked a bit loose but refined. The second was how much more dangerous it looked. Naruto most of the time had a hard time not to laugh when he saw her moving into the juken, but now.. now was different. He saw her as a dangerous opponent.

"I wanted to talk to you, before we had our little spar, but now I am excited. Let's dance." said Naruto with a smile on his face, already knowing this time he will be unable to hold back.

Hinata waited for him, to deactivate his resistance seals, and she did too what surprised Naruto. Normally Hinata already had her seals deactivated when he arrived. Even if they where just level one for a long time… And that was when Naruto got it. They did not spared for more than a month now, and she increased her own to level two. This fight would be more than interesting. Kurama noted that this time he would be unable to stay on ground level with the two of them, so jumped up to one of the three's around to watch the fight. With every second the air grew more serious.

They stood in front of each other, than like they where signaled by an unknown force, they ran at each other. Naruto tried to strike with his left hand with full force, but Hinata deflected it, with her right, and used that hand, to move even closer. She almost hit Naruto, When she sensed danger, and pulled up her left leg, so the low strike from Narutos right hand got her knee not her stomach. Naruto used his chance to disengage. Hinata become dangerous. Her right hand moved just to the upper most needed point to deflect his hand, and still be able to strike with it. Naruto needed to get serious or he will lose to Hinata this time.

Hinata know she was better with this than with normal juken, but that knee strike normally was meant to hit the stomach and not to defend herself, when her hand should be too slow. She saw Naruto, who was unaware that he got some tenketsu closed, from his on hit. Hinata just smiled. Naruto was too used to the juken, and did not know how much better she is now. She felt it is her chance to win for the first time.

When they were ready they reengaged. Now Hinata wanted to strike first, and Was ready with her right, but at the last moment jumped up, from a kick, and delivered her left strike to Naruto's right arm, what he pulled up, to deflect, but was a bit faster, than he thought. Hinata started to smile. That hit closed tree more tenketsu, but before she could celebrate Naruto was on her, with a kick, what she know would be impossible to deflect, or grab, so she just jumped back, or at least wanted, but a three was behind her, so she got the full force of a spinning kick from Naruto, what send her to her left.

"I thought you would jump away, but it look's like you had no chance to use it against anyone before, and got carried away. You know this is your chance, but you are getting careless. Put your act back together, or give up this fight." said Naruto on a taunting voice. They both know this was a challenge for Hinata, even if it sounded so arrogant. This was one of Narutos many mask, Hinata know all too well.

Without anything to say, Hinata stood up, and readied herself, for defense. She need to work on that first. Naruto saw that, and went in with a right hook, what was deflected, without problem, then Naruto brought his left hand, what Hinata deflected inwards, what was what Naruto wanted. He switched into an elbow strike, but Hinata leaned backwards, and kicked Naruto. The force behind the kick was strong enough to lift up Naruto but not enough to make him stop. He just made a back flip, and almost kicked Hinata, but she was just out of his range.

"Not bad. So your defense and counter strikes are strong enough. Ready to show more?" asked Naruto now on his foot.

"Any time." answered Hinata with a smile.

The two reengaged, and where ready to finish of the other any time, they showed even the smallest opening. After half an hour spar, the two stopped. Hinatas right palm, almost connected with Narutos chest, while Narutos right fist almost connected to Hinatas head.

"A draw?" come the question from Kurama, who jumped between the two of them.

"Well this happened… " said Naruto, while he looked at Hinata. While they fought she dropped her coat, what was hiding her body, and now she wear an almost skin tight t-shirt whit a "V" cut revealing her developing body.

"Yeah." said Hinata, who looked ad Naruto, who dropped his sweater and t-shirt after one of Hinatas strikes send him to a tree though a bush, what cut into them They bot looked at each other for a few minute.

"Get a room!" jumped up Kurama, into the two's range of vision, to make sure They understood he was there.

"Kurama, you know very well that is NOT the case." said Naruto with a red face.

"What did he said?" asked Hinata, with interest. She started to learn a lot from Kurama, and every little development from him increased her read on people. If she was able to find the difference between the smallest movements from Kurama than she can see them on humans too.

"You don't want to..." started Naruto.

"Someone is coming!" Kurama got ready to jump at whoever that was, while Naruto and Hinata put their cloths back, and stood in their fighting stiles in front of each other, but ready to change target, it the unwanted arrivals want to fight.

"Hinata-sama." said her guardian, who found them. "You know it is not vise to be with him, and sparring with him, is even less." said the man, who was painting badly. He did not know Hinata can be that fast if she wanted. That was above his speed and he was a chunin.

"I just n-needed to t-try s-some m-move out on s-some-someone who isn't f-from the clan and Naruto a-agreed." said Hinata putting on her mask.

"I understand, but you know you shouldn't be close to him. You know what happened last time I needed to deal with him." said the Hyuuga branch member.

"You mean when I broke your arm?" asked Naruto who almost laughed at the helpless man in front of him. "You know as well as I do, I am the best sparring partner for Hinata. I at least don't broke from one hit." said Naruto with his arrogant mask on.

"N-Naruto y-you shouldn't p-pick a f-fight with a H-Hyuuga." said Hinata, but she wanted to see what he wanted to do. She know he always have a goal with this type of thing. She sensed a prank, and that meant a good laugh for her.

"Well not with most Hyuuga. But he is not most. He is below most. Neji is at least interesting." said Naruto but to his surprise he saw fear and not anger in the "guardian's" eyes.

"Y-you fought with Neji?" asked the man.

"Yeah. HE wasn't bad, but he lost at the end of the fight." answered Naruto, but got even worse response, from the guy. "Well you are no fun." said Naruto on a disappointed voice. He hoped the guy will run into his trap, but he feared him, because his fight with Neji. Hinata know what happened, and was sad, that her "guardian" was lucky.

"W-we s-should g-go Koi. I d-don't want to be l-late." said Hinata hiding her disappointment.

"Yes Hinata-sama. Please follow me." said Koi and the two left.

Naruto was disappointed even more after that. He know he can not speak with Hinata about his plan for the exam. He can just hope, she will do well enough for his plan to work out.

The next day

Naruto was ready for the day. He hoped that what he know will be enough to reach his goal. The plan for him and Hinata was that to hide their real knowledge for the end exam. Hinata was still on the top 5 otherwise her father should have had a few problem with her study and maybe he should have forced her to change school or learn more, cutting the time she had, to work on her own style, while Naruto stood around the dead last position after learning the better he is, the harder his own testes become, cutting his chances at the final test. If he worked hard, to be on top, or even at the middle of the class, his final test should have had been kage level knowledge, what he would never reach on his own, or even with Kurama, and shadow clones, what he fund in the Uchiha library.

When he arrived, half of the class was there. No one acknowledged him, what surprised him. He changed his orange clothes to a set of dark blue ANBU gear. His was the most suitable for the job he soon will have. A year ago he did something similar when he painted one set of his clothes from orange to blue, and that time everyone was on him, about his change… later he burned those clothes.

He sat down in the last row, so no one bothered him, while Kurama just nodded and left, for his own test. Kurama needed to become a "ninken" and to do that he needed to go through a test. When Sasuke arrived, he nodded at Naruto, before he sat down in the row in front of him. Hinata was already in the classroom when Naruto arrived. She sat at the opposite side of the classroom from Sasuke. She was so focused on the task she has she did not know the two boy was there.

Not long after Sasuke arrived two girl burst into the class, and started to shout about who would sit next to Sasuke. Naruto just hoped none of them would be his team mates, and next time they will note do this. This was something they did once in every week. It started to annoy all the boys.

"Girls, what if you sit next to Sasuke on both sides?" asked Naruto before his head started to hurt. Of course the two girl just shouted at him before they continued their little argument for a few minute, then followed Narutos instructions just in time, because Iruka and Mizuki just arrived.

After that the written test started. Everyone did their own test. This year the school Director decided that everyone should have a test for their own level of skill, what meant Naruto got the test what was used for the last chunin exam in Konoha. They did not even changed the testes name… it almost made him laugh. He finished with answering 7 out of 9 question where one was "hard" to answer and one had a wrong answer… at least it was looking like that on paper. Thanks to Kurama he should have answered all without problem even without his help, but that was something no one need to know.

Next was the Kunai trowing where Mizuki was the only teacher. He persuaded Iruka, that he will do it, while Iruka look a the testes. Of course Naruto know if he hit all the target, and get bulls eye on all, he get half at the edge, so he did the best he could, and not only hit only the target that was further and moving, what only Sasuke and Hinata hit before him, but he hit it on the bulls eye all time. It gave him 7 hit and 2 bulls eye. Mizuki know if he pull his score further down someone who was on the boys side, or forgot who he was because the Twin Foxes, don' make a big deal about how he treated the boy.

For the Taijutsu Iruka arrived back, but Mizuki made sure Naruto got the worst opponent possible.

"Why is Naruto alone as the last student to participate?" asked Iruka, when he saw that.

"Well Akami did not come today, so Hinata fought against a girl meaning the boys come out like this."

"And you did not call anyone to fight against Naruto?" asked Iruka. If he call someone who had sparred already then they got false data. He needed to act fast.

"What if Mizuki fight against me?" asked Naruto knowing what Mizuki wanted. "He was here on all of our spares, so he know how to hold back, to mach my style, and you Iruka-sensei is the one, who is assigned to give a grade for our performance." Iruka feared this will happen, but Naruto was the one who asked for it, so he could do nothing to stop it. He feared Naruto will be beaten hard, while Hinata started to have a smile on her face. She know how Naruto wanted to deal with Mizuki for long, and today will be a big lesson for the teacher.

"Well there is nothing else we can do about it." said Iruka on a defeated voice. He hoped Mizuki will do what he should.

Everyone was interested how Naruto will fare against one of the teachers, since Naruto once defeated Sasuke they suspected he is better, than he shows and this was a way for them to learn how much he was holding back. Before Naruto entered the ring, where he needed to fight, he gave his wrist bands to Sasuke, what deactivated them.

Mizuki was beaming inside, while he thought abut the lesson he would teach Naruto, and he would say that he based his performance on the one he had against Sasuke. He was sure that was just a fluke, or he just lucky. It changed, when Naruto stood in his fighting stance. He had no openings and Mizuki felt like Naruto posed a treat, but he dismissed the feeling. That was the biggest mistake of his life.

When Iruke gave the signal Naruto just vanished from everyone's eye's expect Iruka, who was ready something similar from Mizuki, but got surprised it was Naruto, and eve without chacra. Naruto started, with a left hook, what he lead into an elbow, then a right knee, to Mizukus stomach, what caused Mizuki to lean forward into his right knee, what made Mizuki to straight himself up, from pain, then Naruto delivered a right hook to his stomach, and continued like before. After 6 series, he got bored, and delivered a spinning kick with his left leg. Mizuki was at the edge of the ring, and was thinking about stepping out of it, but Naruto was faster.

He stepped at Mizuki's side, and with a kick, he send him forward, into the ring, even faster than before. That was the moment, something broke in Mizuki. Even faster than Iruka could follow, he went through hand seals, and breath out a fireball. Everyone was shocked expect Naruto, who just run around the fireball, and delivered a fast and powerful hit at Mizukis chest, breaking several of his rib's, while sending him out of the ring.

But before Mizuki should have landed outside, Naruto grabbed one of Mizuki's legs, spin him around and send them at a random three with Mizukis other side made contact with it, and broke the same ribs on both side of his chest.

"Iruka-sensei. I think Mizuki will be unable to teach today." said Naruto, with a surprisingly serious expression "I am sorry for the damage I caused. After the fireball I was unable to pull back more of my attacks." after he said it, he looked around and only two people wasn't shocked by his show of power.

"Way to go Naruto." said Sasuke. "Next time I hope you will go all out against me. There were moves I want to test myself against."

"Okay, but only if a healer is nearby. I don't want to get into prison for causing you the same damage I did with Mizuki... Or worse." answered Naruto, then looked at Iruka. "Well sensei, how did I do?" asked Naruto with the same serious expression he had.

"Y-you did perfectly… you get 15/10, I drew 10 points for brutality, but the originality and effective, with your speed and physical power… how did you reach this level?

"Wrist bands..." answered Naruto, before Sasuke threw them back to him, to let his friend put them on. After Naruto did it, activated them, and that second he did everyone understood that they weren't normal. Some even realized what it was, but could not believe that one of their classmates had one.

"Those are resistance seals? What level did you reach with them?" asked Iruka, more than happy to learn how one of his young students become faster and stronger than him.

"I reached the 3rd level, and almost got used to it completely. It is time to buy the shinobi versions soon, because this can not be raised any higher." answered Naruto. He did not wanted to tell, that he already started to train with some weight with the third level. Even what he said was hard to believe for others, and he needed to hide his fol strength.

After this Iruka gathered his students, and lead them to the last part. Ninjuts… at least that was told to them. In the test was a hidden genjutsu one too, and for that he needed someone else, because the doctor who come for Mizuki told him, that he can not be there… for a few month. It caused a little havoc with the students, but he took care of it. He send a message to one of the deputy teachers to come and help, with the genjutsu part.

The teacher was a civilian shinobi called Sihara. She was a really nice person, one who newer had anything against Naruto, because she and her family got to the village 10 year ago. Naruto became really calm. Now if something happened on the test, than it was a part of the test.

The students got into a room one by one, close to their classroom where they waited for their name to be called. Naruto was the last student. He saw some of them did not make it, but those where civilian child's every clan hire got a headband. The standards where so low.

When Naruto entered to the room he saw that Iruka had a hard time to not smile at him, and Sihara, who was as much an every day Konoha chunin as possible. Half long brow hair in a .ponytail, and the every day plain chunin uniform, with a figure every kunoichi her age can achieve, expect one food loving clan. Naruto greet the teachers politely, before he got one of his smaller fox grins. The two teacher told him, what to do. The first was a Kawarami, it was easy. The second was a Henge, and Naruto almost laughed. Now he saw why so many students made it. Not just all the clan hire's but almost half of the civilians too.

"Now Naruto, this will be your last test. Make some bunshins." said Iruka, and Naruto looked at him like he was crazy, before dispelling a genjutsu.

"Now after that was dealt with, what is the next task?" asked Naruto, what Iruka did not understood, but told him again, and Naruto dispelled an other genjutsu. That was when he looked at Sihara, who had a hard time hiding her smile. "Please Sihara-sensei. I want to hear the test, not... that." answered Naruto and Sihara just smiled at him.

"I hoped you will figure out it was me. Your dispelling is good. Far greater than when I last saw you." said the happy teacher.

"Well I needed to work on that, and I still need. These where obvious based on the place we are at the moment, but still good ones. Students who know less about how this part of the village works should fall for this."

"All who failed failed because the genjutsu." said the woman proudly. She sawed some life, and no one know about it.

"Now if we are finished with this..."said Iruka. "Now please make some bunshins."

"Can I make any type of bunshin? I still have problem with the basic ones, but tricked a shinobi into teaching me an other version of the jutsu." said Naruto saying a believable lie.

"You still can amaze me. Now show us, what you learned." said Iruka, happy that the boy, he got a liking, started to be more serious and reached so this point, but he was shocked, when he saw the cross shaped hand seal. He wanted to stop Naruto, but before he could there was ten Naruto in the room with a wide fox grin on their faces. "Kage… bunshins..." said Iruka, while Sihara was similarly shocked.

"Yep. Did you know this jutsu? I thought it is really cool. And I figured out a weak ago I can use them to learn stuff a lot faster. I just need to be careful not to create too many, and dispel them one at a time." half lied Naruto. He know these where the facts, the only thing why it doesn't bothered him was that they don't amply to him and know it for longer, than he said.

"This will help you to become a great ninja even faster than any of us can imagine it. I hope you will show everyone what you can do." said Iruka, while he handed out the headband to Naruto.

Iruka did not have it in him, to tell Naruto that even with this and the tajjutsu he showed he is still the dead last, just because he got a too hard written test, and this year the point contained all the grades from all the years before. The bastards tried their hardest to make sure he can not become a shinobi, but Naruto did it, on his own, with flying colors. He know that the throwing part was false, but couldn't do anything about it, but this just made him even more sure Naruto is far above his pears expect maybe Sasuke, but he got outside help. A lot of it, from someone who can give a run for the ANBU's money.

Naruto left the room with a smile on his face, what widened when he saw Sasuke and Hinata waiting for him. They did not needed to say anything. The trio just went to Ichiraku, then to the Uchiha training grounds, to have some training and sparring done.

"It is good you was able to make it here Hinata."said Naruto, who was slightly winded, from al the training.

"I… am to." said Sasuke, who was on the ground breading hard. He was completely drained.

"Yes… me too." answered Hinata who was in a similar state Sasuke was in. "I.. thought… it will be harder… to convince my father… but he said… if I made it to be a kunoichi… I can have the day for myself."

"And you used it to have... training?" asked Sasuke, who got used to Narutos training regime, when he every second week he goes to the hot spring to loosen his mussels and rest his body.

"Well tomorrow the family will have a dinner, so I can not train." said Hinata, who was starting to collect herself.

"That would be interesting." said Naruto with a grin on his face.

"What are you planing now?" asked Sasuke, who started to be excited about what his friend will do.

"Well it will be a surprise, but you will hear about it." answered Naruto, while Hinata, started to get slightly red. Not even close to what she is used to do, but she did nit even know why did this happened.

"And where is Kurama? I hoped to go against the two of you." asked Sasuke again.

"Well he had his own test today. And his vet promised him, his favorite, if he did well, so he is with her somewhere in the village." answered Naruto.

"What is his favorite?" asked Hinata.

"Snake." said the two boy at the same time. Sasuke learned it on one of his training's with Kurama, when the fox saw a few snake, and captured them for later meal's.

"Well… would you mind telling me what will happen tomorrow. You know, just to be safe." asked Hinata, in fear what would happen if Naruto goes overboard tomorrow, on the party thrown for those who made it to be ninjas of the village this year. She wouldn't mind if it would be only hers, but it is Neji's too*. She don't want problems what should have been avoided.

"Well this will be a goodbye from the twin foxes. No more prankin in the village or on missions, expect if the mission is to prank someone, but that is impossible, so there wont be any more. Well except a villager or our sensei makes me do more, with there stupidity, what is a possibility." said Naruto, what put Hinata at ease somewhat. If it will be the last, there will be less chance for Naruto to get caught while he does it. Of course she was still concerned about the party, but Naruto knows his limits, and when not there is Kurama, to put him in his place.

"So it will be your last test? What did you do Naruto? Normally you do things like this in places what are unique or have a certain amount of challenge in it, and you did get in the Hyuuga compound countless times already." said Sasuke surprised that his friend should go for such a low target this time, but Naruto did not answered, just had his tell tale fox grin on his face.

In the Office, of the ANBU captain

Dragon had a hard day today. Yesterday night the twin foxes where within the headquarter but there is no trace of prank anywhere. They searched everything up to this point expect his office. He feared, what may be within the office, but only found an extra scroll so he opened it with caution, then started to read.

Hello Dragon.

Yes I know, you are a disturbed, that there is a trap around you, after searching the entire HQ and you come back empty handed, but I had a reason to do this.

You already learned about the fact that I do these pranks to test my skills. Well on the day of the Hyuuga celebration, will be my last one, and I want a challenge. I give a letter to the head of the Hyuuga clan too, so he will know about it too. I want challenge, so this will be your last chance to catch me, expect if someone does something really stupid. My prank will happen IN the party, around midday. Be ready for a good hunt.

P.S. if there is no extra ANBU guard around the compound when I prank them, the whole division will be pranked, for a month every day.

The Twin Foxes.

To say that dragon was surprised was an understatement, would be an understatement, but he could not do anything else, than follow the instruction given to him. If there is a chance to stop the pranks, he will take it, without question.

In Hiashis office

Hiashi was angry. No he was furious. He just learned that the Twin Foxes come to the compound undetected… again, and this time left a message in HIS office. They never before did this, and now they threatened the party what he made for his daughter and to top it of, he told this to the ANBU leader too. Now he knows when those brats will come he will deal with them accordingly.

The next day, at the party

The party went relatively well. Hinata, and Neji had received some gift, from clan members, what should make their ninja carrier easier, even if one of them already started his own. There was even a little show on a makeshift podium from some members of the main family to show of their skills, like the kaiten, the 64 strike the 128 strike, and the likes.**

No one saw that there were an extra ANBU and an extra Hyuuga around. Normally they may see, but not know. Everyone was looking for two person, who should soon show themselves, and everyone started to fear that they may never come and the prank was that two message.

"Ladies and gentleman's. Let me introduce myself." said a generic looking Hyuuga, before he changed into Narutos twin form. "I am one of the twin foxes, but no worry, this podium is inside a barrier so no one can hurt me." and when he finished he was attacked but the mentioned barrier drained the chacra of the attacks, and stopped every projectile send his way. "Tank you for proving my point." said Naruto with a smile on his face.

"What are you going to do now? You are surrounded from all sides. You trapped your self." said Hiashi.

"Well otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge, but before that I want to give a show for all of you, I just need one assistant for it, someone I never pranked before." when he said it a lot of branch members, and everyone around his age, or younger than him, looked interested. They hoped that the person going up, wouldn't be pranked, but before any of them should have tried, Hinata jumped to the podium. "Well looks like someone is eager to find out what I wanted to do."

"Well knowing you this may be the safest point in the entire compound." answered Hinata, while others tried to follow but the barrier stopped them.

"You are right. Only one other place like this exist on the entire compound." answered Naruto, before collected a small amount chakra, and released it, in a perfect circle shaped wave, what activated a lot of small seals. Graffities appeared on the walls, the color of the clothing on the Hyuuga members changed to the most irritating, or the most eye caching colors. Of course only Hinata was safe from this. "Now there will be seals appearing in every 5 minute for 2 second, but any seal appearing may activate, when they become visible." said Naruto, before the entire ANBU around the place found out, even they where hit. They masks changed into oni masks, and their clothing got some paintball paint hit like coloring on them, with red, yellow, orange and neon green.

Hinata, and some of the younger Hyuuga members had a hard time to not laugh at the display, while the older ones tried everything to change to color, or use henge to hide it, but the color overlapped the henges too.

"How did you made the color's so strong they overlap the henges?" asked Hinata with interest.

"Fuinjutsu. It is easy. Just create a genjutsu styled seal, what creates the illusion of that color, if it is activated. There is no genjutsu that can overlap this type of fuinjutsu." answered Naruto.

"Hinata, beat up, that brat!" shouted Hiashi, in rage. He can not let this slide to the side.

Hinata looked at Naruto, who just stood in his tajutsu stance, and Hinata run at him, but Naruto just got behind her and with a gentle strike hit a pressure point on Hinata, what caused her to give put for a second, then she followed like she was knocked out, but in reality just watched the next set of seals activating, what revealed funny little drawing in all of the Hyuuga main house members faces.

Kurama just watched how the most stick up the ass clan got all raged, and started to see a problem… if Naruto activates everything, they may get to the point they broke through the barrier, and hurt Naruto, and Hinata, so with a hidden hand-seal activated a signal. It was an other seal, connected to some fireworks, that went of, in the sky, getting everyone's attention, and fooling Narutos mood. He started with the lame pranks, and wanted to see every one of them unfold, but if Kurama deamed that too dangerous…

"Well its looks like my brother thinks it may be too dangerous to stay longer. See you later." said Naruto picking up a par of the podium, what turned into a seal tag, what he placed on himself, and run to his brother side. Two other ANBU reacted, but Kurama knocked them out, and the two started to run through the maze what is the barriers and barricades created by the ANBU and the clan.

The escape wasn't easy, but luckily the two boy got out, thanks to their speed, and started to run through the hole village to lose the ANBU and angered Hyuuga's. They may have been faster, but the ANBU and the clan had a grater number than ever before, so the two was running all day long, to lose everyone, and have a chance to settle down.

At night the duo went back as themselves to the compound, to take a look at it. Inside still everyone had problems with all the seals they placed for today. They heard that one fish storage just activated, while other paintings appeared on an other, and, some cold water storage seals went of too. Chaos. This was the only world that could describe this place today.

"We needed to go the worst time. I mean the best two was so close to go of… I wanted to see them." said Naruto, in a childish manner.

"You still pulled everything off. I mean for the last month you got in every day, and placed every little thing you could, and never got caught. Not in normal, and not in twin form, and you got into the ANBU HQ in your normal, then left in your twin form." said Kurama

"We did, not just me." corrected Naruto.

"Yes, but I am a fox. I born to do stuff like this, you don't" answered Kurama, with a proud smile on his face. He was proud of himself and Naruto, to pull all of this off, even when the patterns in the patrols changed every day, to make sure no one knows where are the weak point.

"Well we become ready for any task we may face, but tell me, what did you placed in Hinatas room? I did not planed that one, but you insisted to get in there." asked Naruto with interest.

"Let just say, that is my and Hinatas secret." answered Kurama. Naruto wanted to protest but then heard a happy shout from Hinatas rooms direction, so he dropped the thing.

A week after the genin test

Naruto woke up early. Today he can learn who are his team mates. He had his hopes, but who know, what the Hokage may have put together. After he woke up he changed into an ANBU gear like cloths, and get his two new wrist band on his hand, what he bought this week, and they can go to level 4, witch meant more training for him, what he started too with a light jog around the village before he got to the academy. Half of the class was there already, and he saw Hinata sit in the third row, next to the window, and sat next to her.

"Hello Hinata-hime." said Naruto with a smile. "I hope you liked my last prank."

"Well there where funny little jokes in them, but some was a bit cruel." answered the lavender haired girl.

"I wasn't there to coordinate things, so there may have had been things that got the wrong person. I hope no one younger than us got caught. They where meant to be safe from every prank."

"Well my sister got caught in one of the traps you set for my father, when she went into his office."

"The paint, or the other one?" asked Naruto with a little fear in his voice.

"There was an other one too?" asked Hinata back, while Naruto released a breath he did not know he was holding.

"Yes, but that meant only for him. No one else." said Naruto, and Hinata saw that he will say nothing about it.

"Dode, did you heard what happened to the Hyuugas?" asked a certain raven haired boy, from Naruto.

"Yes I did. Hinata and I were just talking about it." answered Naruto.

"Is there any picture?" asked Sasuke, and before anyone could react Hinata put three photo album on the desk, and they started to go through them until two really loud girl appeared in the door, and Hinata put away the pictures faster, than she pulled out. "Here goes our good mood."

"Hello Sasuke." started Sakura. "Can I sit next to you?" to this Sasuke just pointed at Naruto. "Naruto, could you sit somewhere else?" asked Sakura on a really nice voice… at least in her head.

"Sorry, but the three of us was talking, before you and the gossip queen appeared in the class." answered Naruto, and wanted to continue to talk to the two, but his reflexes kicked in, before Sakura was send flying next to him. "Kurama, you know you shouldn't hurt her, even if she is annoying, and tried to hit me. I would just let her to do so, like the last… thousand times." said Naruto, in a scolding like manner, while the trio put some cooked snake in front of him, what Kurama gladly took.

"If you where scolding him, why did you gave him food?" asked Sakura, who did not understood.

"Well he was defending his partner. There is nothing strange in giving some reward to him, if he did something right." answered Sasuke this time surprising most of the people in the room.

Sakura of course got taken back by the comment, and did not know, what to do, so left the trio to themselves. Of course the class could not stay calm after this incident, and started to talk about what may have caused this to happen. There was a lot of theory. One saying Naruto beat Sasuke again, and now Sasuke follows him, like a master, an other says, that Sasuke may angered the Twin Foxes, and searched shelter by Naruto, who never got pranced, and was on a high level of tajjutsu skill, so may be able to hold them back, and Shikamaru said that Naruto may be one of the twins, but everyone laughed at him, saying Naruto has no brother to begin with.

None of the know that he almost blow Naruto cover and Naruto was glad that the village was so stupid to never see him as the one doing everything he did, or things may turn against him once more, and no one want to learn what he is capable now.

The arguing ended, when Iruka stepped into the classroom. He had a small speech before started to call the names of the students in one group.

"Team 7. Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha."

"What? Why?" asked Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata at the same time, none of the too loud, but the fact that they had the same reaction everyone heard them.

"Well originally your team should have consisted of Sasuke the best student of this year, Naruto the worst student of this year, and Hinata, the best kunoichi, but that is a very tajjutsu heavy team, one such as the active team 9. That would have meant too much tajjutsu only team, and next to that Hinata was asked by one jounin to create the best tracking team team 8, so the two team changed kunoichi." answered Iruka, and Naruto just jumped in front of the window, opened it, and let loose a barrage of wind, water and fire jutsu.

"This is for your heavy tajjutsu team." said Naruto, than sat back, before turning to Sasuke. "Oh and thank you Sasuke for letting me learn those jutsus, from your clan library. They are very useful."

"Sorry. I should have been happy with Hinata too. I mean she is the only kunoichi in this class who has any chance at keeping up with us." said Sasuke, then the two boy looked behind them. "What do you think?" asked Sasuke, then Naruto pulled out two wrist brand, and put them on Sakuras desk, with a scroll. When Sasuke saw that, he smiled. "Sakura, you have three month to get to an okay level. Follow that scroll from word to word, and if you reach an okay level, I MAY go out on a date with you." when Sakura heard the word, date, she started to read the scroll.

"Ahm. Are you done?" asked Iruka, who was genuinely surprised by the two boy's antics.

"For now..." said a sad Naruto. He truly hoped that they all get into one team or none of them, and the only thing keeping them from that is the fact that Naruto and Sasuke did not show more skill in the test, than they did.

"Well then. Team 7's sensei, is Kakashi Hatake. Team 8. Kiba Izunuka, Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Aburame. Your sensei will be Yuki Kurenai." after that the trio did not payed more attention to Iruka. They got a really hard blow, because of the team placements. If none of them where in one team that may have had bean easier for them, saying they weren't meant to be a team, but now the fact that they almost got into the same team, was hard to sallow.

After Iruka told witch team got witch sensei he left, and the sensei's come to almost all of the teams, expect fro team 7, who took the time to think about their situation at hand.

"Well the two of us got into one team, and we can wok together very well, but Hinata should have been able to keep up, or maybe even outdo me from time to time." said Sasuke

"I know, and with the two of us, she should have been forced to learn some kind of elemental jutsu, and medical jutsus. The elemental ones, because of teamwork, and the medical ones to heal us after we beat the crap out of each other." said Naruto.

"Well Sakura have the best control in the class, even with all the training we did." said Sasuke, what got Narutos attention. "Do you think she can become a good in that region? I mean good control is a head start, but not everything."

"Well its better than sitting somewhere and bleeding out. I mean you don't want to reveal that secret and until that we will need someone who patch us up." said Sasuke, and for that Naruto pulled out an empty scroll, and started to write like crazy, what got Sakuras attention. First she thought no one would be able to read something written so fast, but when she looked at the kanji's, they where perfect. She started to admire the writing, but before she know, she started to read the scroll from the beginning, because Naruto finished.

"These are medical techniques. Why did you wrote them down?" asked Sakura.

"Well we originally wanted to have Hinata in out team, because she has the stamina, and the knowledge of healing creams, and basic healing methods, and can use them all. I know them, but I am not good with them, and Sasuke is the same, and neither of us has the control to learn medical jutsus, so we need someone in the team who can use them. That will be your main goal. We keep you safe, and you heal us after a hard training day, or when we go on missions outside of the village, and got hurt."

"This way, you can have a slightly lower point you need to reach with the training we gave you. Originally you needed to reach low chunin speed and stamina or strength and stamina, but this way, high genin level is enough. It doesn't mean you can slack of in training, but you have a greater chance, but only if you have the right amount of skill in healing, when the 3 month comes."

"Believe me. You will need to work harder than ever before, and after that comes the evading training." Naruto said with a smile, and Sasuke paled.

"You don't want to use THAT method, do you?" asked Sasuke genuinely worried for Sakuras well being.

"Well with her I would start from level 1 not level 3 like with you." said Naruto, still smileing.

"What level did I reached last time?" asked Sasuke, what made Sakura interested. Did they trained together in some way? That should answer to her why Naruto was so strong.

"Level 7. I am at level 12 and Kurama is at level 19. I never got the chance to get him. Not even once."

After this, Naruto and Sasuke went of, with other training related stuff, while Sakura continued to read, and sometimes paled, when heard what the two boy did, and how, or how far they reached already. They did not even know how much time went by when the door opened, and all of them looked at the person who opened it. He was a tall, gray haired Jounin, whit a mask, that hid his mouth, and half of his face, while his headband hid his right eye.

"I am your jounin sensei. Meet with me on the roof in 5 min." said the man, before he sunshined away.

"Dog?" asked the two boy, while Kurama, just looked at them like they where stupid to even ask that question, then the four unfortunate ninja started to walk to the roof.*** When they arrived they sat down, and waited for their sensei, to react to them, because he was reading a book. A perverted one, what angered Sakura.

"Well you seems boring. No unique first expressions, so lets start and introduce yourselves." said Kakashi.

"Well my Name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like to train, talk to my friends, and ramen. I hate the time it takes to make ramen, and don't really like those who hate any kind of animals, or treats people badly because of something out of their hands. My dream is to be hokage, but becoming someone who is respected is my first goal to that direction, and that is one of my main reasons to become a shinobi, next to defending those who I care about." here Naruto Paused a little, and Kakashi almost said something, but then Naruto continued, pointing at Kurama. "He is Kurama, my fox ninja partner. He likes to eat snakes, train, and show of his natural talents as much as possible. He hates almost everything I do expect the time it takes to make ramen. His dream is to become strong enough to make people recognize him, and stop the strong hate the village has towards his kind, and a few other things not even I know completely."

"Why did you waited for so log to tell us this?" asked Kakashi not understanding the dramatic pause in Narutos introduction.

"Well he needed to tell me everything he wanted me to tell you, and stopping one time is better than to translate from sentence to sentence."

"But he did not even said anything." said Sakura who still did not understood the communication between the two.

"If you are connected to someone as strongly as I am to Kurama, you can understand them even if they don't say anything. At the beginning he needed to "speak" but he did not needed for a very long time, and he prefer not to. It is easier to sneak around, if you are used to the silence." answered Naruto. Of curse he left out the fact that they have something similar to a telepathic connection at this time, thanks to the twin form they have.

"So you can not understand any other foxes?" asked Sasuke, who did not know the answer.

"No. Kuramas body language is unique to him, but he does understand most mammal, sneaks, and even some bird, so with him, I can "talk" to animals, but it is not as good as the Izunuka's and any kind of dog, or wolf communication." come the answer from Naruto, what surprised Kakashi and Sakura.

"How much of this did he told you?" asked Sasuke, who know Naruto isn't as intelligent as Kurama is.

"Well I kind of learned it already, from the so many times, we needed to talk about our connection..."

"Okay blonde let others to speak to. You go pinky." said Kakashi.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like studying, and..." she looked at Sasuka. "I hate pervert, and idiots, and my dream is..." she looked at Sasuke again and giggled a little bit.

"Okay fangirl you go duck-butt." said Kakashi to Sasuke.

"I think he meant you Sasuke." said Naruto.

"What do you mean?" asked Sasuke back.

"Your hair kind of resembles a duck's butt." said Naruto with a strait face, before Sakura tried to hit him, but stopped, before Kurama could interfere, she did not wanted to get the treatment she got last time.

"Well then a change in hair style is needed…" said Sasuke with a sigh. He wanted to hit Naruto and Kakashi, but know he has no chance on beating either in a serious mach. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I like training, new techniques, and the feel of the hot water in the hot-springs after two week of constant training, on my off day. I hate fangirls, and their tendency of not training, and following me everywhere. I don't really have dreams, but for the lack of better therms they are, to kill the person responsible to the extinction of my clan, and to find a strong woman who can stand by my side and help me rebuild my clan." said Sasuke with the most serious face anyone ever saw.

"Well an emo, a fangirl and an idiot, with a fox, who is smarter than him… interesting bunch." said Kakashi on a really low voice, but everyone heard him expect Sakura.

"You forgot something sensei." said Naruto. "You did not introduced yourself."

"Well my name is Kakashi Hatake. I don't really like many things, and I can not think of anything I hate and would share with you, and for dreams… I did not thought about that." come the answer from him.

"Well then this is everything?" asked Naruto, ready to train.

"For today, yes. Meet me tomorrow 6 am at training ground 7. Don't eat breakfast or you will puke." answered Kakashi before he vanished.

"Well he is defenetly dog. There was no other ANBU similar to him, who watched over me the past years." said Sasuke.

"And he is hiding his right eye because he have an implanted sharingan there." said Naruto. "Sharingan no Kakashi. The shinobi who learned a thousand jutsu, and the last living student, of the fourth Hokage. One of the strongest shinobi of the village after Jiji. He will be a good sensei, if he is not late every time… but we can use that too, to train before he comes." said Naruto with a thinking tone of voice.

"Well he may very well be the only person who can teach me about my sharingan, if there is anything I still need to know, and maybe can show jutsus I don't have in the library, or if the scrolls are damaged, so I am okay with him too." said Sasuke.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Sakura, who again felt like she was left out of something important.

"Oh yeah, you weren't there when we talked about these kind of stuff… witch is surprising considering you were really close before we actually started to talk about this..." said Naruto, before he looked at Kurama."That would be a pain…" said Naruto as reaction to what he "heard from Kurama. "Okay, okay you have good points." come defensively from Naruto, then he looked at his two other teammates. "What do you think of a team bonding talk? We need to get up to speed in some form, and there is a bomb we need to drop on Sakura, because if we will have team fight's she may need to see it either way.

"Are you sure? You said you don't wanted anyone to know outside me and Hinata, not even our sensei." said Sasuke surprised by what Naruto said.

"Well Kakashi is someone who might already know it, by figuring it out, and there is the team exam, we need to pass, and we may need to go all out, if Kakashi knows what Kurama thinks he does."

"Can you NOT talk like that?" asked Sakura.

"Well Sakura, you will come with me and Naruto, to the Uchiha training ground, and hear a few secrets you will only learn because you are our team mate, and after that you will go through a small training by us." answered Sasuke.

The next day 5:30 AM at training ground 7

Sakura had a strange feeling. She could not describe it, but part of it was shame, considering the fact that how low her stamina and strength is. Yesterday was an eye opener for her, in more than one level. Learning a lot of secrets, she was never intended to learn, then trained till she collapsed, then she was helped to the hot spring, by the boy's who talked until she come out, then helped her home. Sasuke even bought a ticket for her, what she was meant to use every day, for half an hour at night, to make sure her mussels can loosen up. It was a safety card, because she was weaker than the boys thought she was, what scared her. They already thought she would be up to no use, and she is even worse than that… but they are willing to give her a try. That was the reason she was there today.

The only good thing she had was the fact that she learned fast. She already finished the scroll given to her by Naruto, and went to the Yamanaka flower store, to get some special herbs, she wanted to use for creams, or other means of healing, and while she was early, she was preparing to the possible outcomes of today's training. With the many thing Naruto told her that today would be a test, and if they don't pass, they are send back to the academy, and he only know this because he saw teams fail and pass before, but did not know Kakashi's method, so she was ready to everything she could think of.

She just finished with the second cream, when Naruto and Kurama arrived, the second intently looking at what she is doing, than after he saw everything, and smelled every substance, he just nodded at the girl, and her work. It was strange for her, but she already know first hand how good he is when it comes to healing, after the training she received yesterday.

"You already finished the scroll on basic healing? What about the mystical palm jutsu?" asked Naruto interested how fast Sakura was learning. He liked teaching her. She was a sponge for knowledge.

"Well I am done with the theory, but will need at least a week before I can use it, if not, I will need to train my chacra control, to get it done." come the honest answer. Normally she may have said she will have it done tomorrow, but after yesterday, she doesn't have that confidence.

"Well it's okay. We will not leave Konoha in the first month for sure, and it is unlikely we leave it before your three month ends, so you have time, but if you reach the needed level before that, we can give you more to learn, and train you harder, to try to catch up to us." said Naruto, with an understanding voice. He saw something similar with Sasuke, who got down, when he learned how weaker he is compared to him, but Naruto had more training done, in a more serious way, and have better natural healing, meaning he can reach further faster than the others.

"I don't think I can reach you guys. You have 3 year training before me. I don't want to be more than someone useful to the team, with my knowledge, but even that will be hard, with Kurama around. I start to feel like I will hold you all back forever."

"That would be impossible. I and Sasuke trained hard enough to beat most chunin up to this point, and I and Kurama together can beat weaker ANBU members, with our secret, and with team work we can go against jounins too. I can not say we can win the last, but we can fight them for sure."

"Do you know when Sasuke will come? I wanted to ask him something, and no not date related stuff." said Sakura before Naruto made a remark about that.

"He will come around 8. He is sure Kakashi will be late, and I only come because of you. After I trained Sasuke I know how hard the first few training can be. He was in better shape because he activated his sharingan on the first day, and that showed him, that it was useful. For you it will be harder. Your body isn't used to the training, and your diets make it worse. I hope you ate yesterday." said Naruto with skepticism in his voice.

"If I did not eat I would have died… my family never saw me eat so much before." said Sakura, somewhat ashamed of herself. That was one of the things what showed her how much her body wanted to have the proper resources, and she neglected it for so long, but not anymore. Now she has a goal, and not only because of the promised date, but because the two boy trusted her, and hoped she can reach a level, where she can be a proper member of the team, for her sake, and for the others too.

"Well than I have a good news for you. You don't need to have any diet as long as you do the training I give you. Did you started it today?" asked Naruto, with little to no hope.

"I wanted to speak with Sasuke before that. I mean he was the first to do it, right?" asked Sakura, thinking that she was right.

"No. I gave it to him. Well his starter was easier, because he had training before that from his clan. For you I just upped the academy training to a level that would be efficient. Do you have your wrist bands?" asked Naruto finally realizing she did not wore them.

"I put them aside after I arrived… is it a problem?" Naruto just nodded at her, and she put them back on, and activated them. It was hard for her, to move and bread while it was active.

"The longer they are active the sooner you adapt to them. In the next two week you need to get used to the feeling it is giving you. Now shall we start?" asked Naruto ready to train himself. Sakura packed up, and sealed everything away in a scroll she got yesterday from Naruto, than started her new routine.

Sakura got frustrated very fast. She know that Naruto had a lot harder but he run 5 lap while she finished one, and after the fifth it was enough for her. She just finished too, but the fact that Naruto was THAT much faster than her was a bit much. She wanted to do something, but Kurama appeared before her, and she know it wasn't the time to do something stupid, so she just continued. Surprisingly for her, Naruto finished his training, just when she got to the resting part. Well resting for her, because she could not continue.

"You aren't as bad as I thought you will after yesterday." said Naruto, with water, and a little food. "I think you can use a little rest, but keep in mind you have only 10 minute to rest. After that you need half lap around the training ground, before you continue everything." added on his teaching voice.

"Ten minute? And then an extra half lap? Do you want to kill me?" asked Sakura.

"No he want's to train you." said Sasuke, who just arrived. "And he does an excellent job at that."

"It is already 8?" asked Sakura surprised that her crush was there already.

"8:07 to be exact, but I was still punctual compared to Kakashi." come the answer.

"Well we still will have time to prepare for him, while Sakura continues her training." said Naruto, before he pulled out a bunch of scrolls. "Here is your part, do it well, or we may lose the chance to get there where we need to be." Sasuke opened the scroll, and started to read… and paled.

"Do you want to kill him?" asked the raven haired boy. "No don't answer that, just make sure I never anger you." Sakura wanted to ask, what were they talking about, but Kurama looked at her, in a way, that said her, she better to continue her training.

"Don't worry, these are last result's before me and Kurama go all out on him, if it is needed."

"Well you certainly don't play around… but I shouldn't be surprised after everything you did up to this point." finished Sasuke, before started to place all the seals around the training ground, he got. He used his sharingan to make sure everything is perfectly placed.

Not long after they all finished Kakashi showed up.

"Sorry. I saw a black cat and I needed to come the long way." said Kakashi, but one of his students actually cared. "Well are you all ready?" asked Kakashi.

"What will we do sesnei?" asked Sakura, interested if what Naruto said was true, or not.

"This will be your true genin test. What you had a week ago was only a test, if you have the knowledge you need as a genin, but this test will require more than that. It will show if you have the skill's for it."

"And what do we need to do?" asked Naruto in fake excitement. He was already ready for everything thrown at his way.

"You will need to get one of these." Kakashi pulled out two bell. If you get one, you are genin, if you not, you will be tied to one of those training post's." he pointed at three of them. "And those who are tied to that will go back to the academy." the jounin finished his explanation.

"Those? What is the failing rate for this exam?" Asked Sasuke, who already started to understand why Naruto said teamwork will be needed. No genin can beat a jounin.

"66%. But there is a chance that all of you will be send back to the academy, and that only one of you become my student." he waited for it to sink in. "You have time until noon." added Kakashi, before Sakura, and Sasuke went to hide, but Naruto and Kurama stayed where they where.

"So if I get one of those only I make it, or me and Kurama got in as one person?" asked Naruto, knowing there would be no right answer to this question so he can play the part of the angry child card against Kakashi.

"He will get in with you, or lose with you. In the ninja world, he is your tool, nothing more." answered the man on a cold, harsh and unforgiving tone of voice.

"A tool?" asked Naruto with acted and real anger at the same time. "A mere tool?" asked again, before let out a little Kyuubi chacra with his killing intent, what surprised Kakashi.

Before anyone could react Naruto appeared before Kakashi, and delivered a powerful chacra enchanted punch to the man's gut, sending him flying backwards, then he deactivated his wrist band, before the jounin readied himself for him. What surprised the man, was the fact that Kurama breath out a fireball, and Naruto used the great breakthrough jutsu, to increase the flames and the radius of the attack.

Naruto saw Kakashi using substitution, before the combined attack could hit him, so the next thing what he did was sitting on top of Kurama, like some of the Izunuka's do with their similar sized partners, before giving him chacra, for a jutsu, Kurama learned not long ago.

"It's time to see what this jutsu is capable of. We never used it together before, but even the original itself had a big radius, so I suppose you should show yourself before we blast the entire training ground to heaven." said Naruto on a maniac like voice, and Kakashi did jumped out into the open area. "FOX CANNON!" shouted Naruto, before Kurama fired a ball very similar to the one the Kyuubi used all those years ago. The only problem was, that the ball hit a little to the left, so Kakashi took his chance to evade the explosion, what was felt in half of the village. When the smoke cleared it was visible that Kakashi did not got away from the whole explosion. It propelled him forward, and into a tree trunk, before the fire caused by the explosion got his clothes. He needed to drop his vest what was behind him, and on fire.

Kakashi really wanted to say something, but was cut short, when his instincts kicked in, and he jumped away just in time, from an electrical current send by Sasuke, but before he could do anything about him, he got his, by a water jutsu, from Naruto.

'What are they planing? Are they working together or they are just good at taking advantage from the situation? Sasuke already left his hiding spot to an other one, I do not see at the moment. They aren't as bad as I thought they will be, and what was that attack from Kurama? Can he be the Kyuubi?' but Kakashis line of thoughts where stopped by Naruto, and Kurama double teaming him. Normally it wouldn't be a problem for him, but the two evaded attacks like experienced ANBU and Kurama maybe even better than him. It is a lot more than what he read in the files he got from them, and Sasuke was better too, even if he did not saw too much from him.

The little fight took for a few more minute, and Kakashi started to get a feel of the duo's style, but before he could use that, the two disengaged, what let him to slightly lower his defense, just the second Sasuke and Sakura send kunais at him. He was of course able to dodge all, but the wires around the ring made him unable to go after them, because he did not see them, before, he run into them, and after he cut through, everyone vanished.

"They aren't any normal team, that is for sure." said Kakashi for himself, before he went to look for the genins. If they can keep this up, he may even let them pass his test.

With the team

"That wasn't the jutsu you were supposed to use." said Sasuke and Sakura at the same time. It should have been a fire and wind collaboration jutsu, but he did a unique one.

"Sorry I got more emotional, than I thought I will." said Naruto. "His answer was more than just acting, and that unnerved me." added with a serious expression.

"What will we do now?" asked Sakura. She did not know every plan, and she know that the two boy made more than enough for them.

"Now you two need to show yous skills to him. I and Kurama did showed some, and we will be near to help out, if you are on a tight spot, but try to show him where you stand. This test is about our current level, so he knows how to help us improve. After that, we will regroup, and attack him on a spot, where Sasuke placed a system of paralyzing seals, on the Easter part of the training ground." said Naruto while showed Sakura a map, in one of his scrolls. "Now scatter." said Naruto, and saw the two leave, and created a few shadow clone to follow them, and he himself prepared for the diversion he needed to make.

Sasuke was the first, to meat with Kakashi, and automatically activated his sharingan.

"Oh a fully developed sharingan? From the start? You know it should have been a great surprise if you pulled it of in the middle of the fight." said Kakashi on a dismissing tone.

"Maybe, but you are a jounin, and I have from minimal to no chance alone, so I try to even the odds as much as possible." answered Sasuke before he stood in his clan stance, and rushed at Kakashi, but the last second fired a Fireball jutsu at Kakashi's face without hand seals, what the jounin barely dodged.

After that attack the two started a tajjutsu battle, but after a minute Sasuke was pushed back to much, so he used a substitution to get to a secured place, below an explosive tag. Kakashi soon found him, and went to attack him, but Sasuke jumped to an other tree just in time, before the tag went off. Kakashi started to really hate explosions. After that Sasuke tried to get the jump on Kakashi with an other lightning stream, from his jutsu, but Kakashi was aware of him, and dodged the attack, all together, before he fired a fireball at Sasuke, who jumped to the side, but after that he felt that someone grabbed his ankle and pulled him down.

"You weren't too bad." said Kakashi, before he felt a kunai at his throat, ready to kill him, and a hand nearing to the bells, but he just grabbed the first hand, and send the person overhead, who was Sasuke, and collided with the one underground and both vanished in a puff of smoke. "Shadow clones? I start to understand how does he know so much jutsu after starting to learn them just a week ago." said the man to himself, but he was unable to locate Sasuke, so went to search for Sakura. Something told him, he will see the boy soon enough.

Sakura was in a middle of a place surrounded with previously placed traps. She doesn't have too much use on the battle field, but she is able to find the safest, or the most important points quiet fast. She know that not even the Hokage could get to where she was unnoticed, if he did not know where the seals were, so she just waited. It soon paid of, when she heard someone yelling about stupid paint trap. She know the position of that trap, so she readied herself, and made sure she has everything she need to activate more, if Kakashi got closer, what he did. The first was an explosive seal, what the jounin evaded fast. He learned to evade them faster, and go further because the range is wider, than normally, but he stepped to a smoke trap, that had a weak but fast acting poison that slowed down the person hit by it.

He evaded the next few. They where firing paint, shurikens, or other poison's. The next surprised him. It was a trap barrier, that took him a few hit to brake. It started to annoy Kakashi. He know these weren't Sakura's traps, but she used them effectively, he should send a shadow clone after her for now to make sure he has a clear path, but if there are traps designed to counter that, he is screwed, so even if this was the more direct way, it may be the safer one too.

After ten more minute he arrived at Sakuras hiding place, and casted a genjutsu on her, but she broke it, and jumped back, before Kakashi could hit her. She got behind some traps, but started to flee, to the Eastern part of the training ground, and when Naruto saw that, he fired vacuum spears at Kakashi, to get his attention. The jounin jumped after Naruto and Kurama, the two being the more dangerous out of his team.

Naruto and Kurama used every trick in the book to keep their sensei on their trail while having the needed distance between them. Kakashi know he was running into a trap, but he can get away from everything, these child's may throw at him. There is only two person, who can get the drop on him, and maybe a few S class shinobi.

After a few minute the trio arrived at a clearing. Kakashi stood at the center, to see everything, and Naruto and Kurama was at the edge, than Sakura and Sasuke arrived behind him, on his two side, but the clearing was big enough to give him time to react to any attack. He wanted to pull up his headband, but his hand did not move. He tried to move forward, but nothing happened, and his eyes widened. What happened to him?

"I see you already see the problem. You are inside a paralyzing seal trap. One of my own design. It has an internal chacra source, one rivaling the Hokages, and there can be as many outside source as the one placing it want's to be. What do you thing, how many outside source there is?" asked Naruto after telling him that.

"There is four outside source." answered Kakashi. "But that should make you unable to move, what makes you an easy target." added the jounin.

"Well you are right and wrong. The persons who stand inside can do any jutsu they can do without hand seals, and I have an other trick too." said Naruto, and then an army of clones arrived. "They all have more chacra than you have. Luckily I have FAR more chacra than you, so there was no problem in creating them, and they already disposed a few elemental clone in the area… but some of them weren't yours." said Naruto what surprised Kakashi.

"I did not made any clone, while I was here." said the now somewhat scared jounin. There is something fishy going on here.

Before anyone could do anything someone attacked the Naruto clones. The person wore a plain ANBU mask. No animal face. Kakashi wanted to free himself, but know he can not brake the jutsu holding him, but tried to struggle, so he knows, when he is freed.

"Naruto! They aren't Kakashi!" shouted Sasuke, and Naruto released Kakashi, and placed his hand on Kurama.

"We need to beat them all, and we have no time." said Naruto, before focused his chacra. "Transformation no jutsu!" shouted Naruto before Naruto and Kurama turned into their twin forms. The ANBU that appeared went against the two boy automatically, while Kakashi did not know what to do. These ANBU weren't ANBU, but Naruto just become the only person every ANBU wold be glad to capture after everything he did before.

While Kakashi was thinking the duo and their clones started to clear up all of the attackers. They weren't bad, but were below ANBU level, even if just slightly. It took all the Clones to clear up half of them, and the remaining thirty gave the two a hard time dodging.

"Sensei, don't just stand there! Naruto needs help!" shouted Sasuke. "You are the only oter who can deal with this high level opponent's."

"But he is..." started Kakashi.

"The man who saved me, and forced the ANBU to do their work like they where meant to do, not like they did. The man, who trained me, and now is YOUR STUDENT, who you are supposed to protect." after this Kakashi could not argue with that logic, so he went in, jut in time to deflect a strike what almost hit Kurama on the head, after he dodged an other.

"Thanks. This body is not as agile as my own." after that Kurama spinning kicked one of the fake ANBU, then grabbed and trow an other.

"You two should stop holding back. We are in a training ground, so you can go all out until 14. That is the time when the barrier around it will deactivate." said Kakashi. The two did not understood, what barrier was he talking about, but they did as he said so, and the two boy got into their feral form. Now their whole body was covered in fur, and their face resembled more of a foxes than a humans. "Well it's not the same I remember..." said Kakashi.

"We trained and got better with it. The fox sage mode, and the Kyuubi's chacra before the cloak looks like this." said Kurama, before the Fox Twins vanished, then reappeared behind the last fake ANBU who was knocked out. He was one of the lucky ones, because they directed a hit at every one of them, and most flew to trees or rocks, and the impact killed them.

The two boy turned back to normal then and looked around with sorrow in their eyes. Kakashi saw they did not wanted to do something so drastic, but a part of him was glad most of them died, because this way there was less chance that their secret got out after interrogation.

"When did you wanted to tell me, that you two are the twin foxes?" asked Kakashi interested in the answer.

"The second we where sure that you can be trusted, or the second when they are forced to reveal… this time it is the second." said Sasuke, who know the answer and saw that the two can not answer anything at the moment.

"When did they told you?" asked Kakashi with interest.

"Just before the genin test. They where sure I figured out. It was so obvious, but I never did."

"Well I can say the same." said Kakashi, while he started to think, what to say to the Hokage, and to the ANBU… he already started to feel the headache.

Well thank you for reading this and waiting for so long for this chapter. I could just hope this will be an okay chapter even if I did not had the time to write the fight's like I wanted to do. And I hope the length is not a problem.

The next chapter is supposed to be shorter than this dealing with the aftermath of Naruto showing his infamous side to Kakashi, and the false ANBU (guess who they are, and why they where there.) but if it is too short I may write an extra mission into it. I will try to write better and fast at the same time, but I still need a beta reader, to help me out. If you can pls point me to the right direction to get one.

*I work with half year graduation classes, witch make sense, because there is a chunin test every half a year, and team Gai (team 9) only had one chance to participate before our heroes, not two. I could have go and say that that chunin exam was in Iwa, or Kumo, so just the most experienced teams had the chance to go there, but considering that there was no other know Hyuuga ho tried to become shinobi the same year Hinata did, this killed two birds with one stone.

** Yes this is where Neji saw them, and reverse engineered them.

*** Yes four. Kurama is a ninja fox, witch mean he is a ninja too.

At first I thought I will have only one or two side note that is why I don't used numbers… next time I will use numbers, either way.
