A/N#1: Hi guys! Sorry for the delay. You see this chapter was suppose to be posted like two weeks ago but I had really bad ear problems and I couldn't hear out of one of them, so yeah... But! But this one is longer (maybe) so I apologize for by presenting you guys this.

A/N#2: So which would you prefer: How Far Can You Go? or The Cat, The Fish, and The Flames

A/N#3: Hey Kimmy! If you're reading this, do you think you can start next chapter and so forth? You can P.M. me and we can talk about it.

A/n#4: Oh and the thing about the names is I have this belief of whatever it's called: if Minato and Kushina were alive I think they would have changed Naruto's name into a more female name.

Chapter 3: Naruto's Past and Narumi's Present

Streets of Konoha, Fire Country,

"But Papa I don't want to take the exams! It's so boring!" Narumi whined.

She was tied up with rope and was being dragged to the Academy. Everyone they passed bye waved to the smiling Hokage and his pouting daughter.

"Then how are you going to be Hokage, then?" He asked. She blinked and looked up at the sky.

"Save the village from some weird guy claiming to be God?" She offered, making him chuckle. "How are you going to save the village?" He asked next, this time making her think about it. "I dunno." She mumbled, puffing out her cheeks and looked away. Minato started to laugh at that comment, making Narumi sighed and started to pout.

He stopped making her look to the side and see the open doors of the Academy. Minato un-tied the ropes and took off all the seal, he kneeled down and looked her in the eye. "If you can pass the Gennin test, Your Mama and I will take you out for ramen." He said. "Really!?" She exclaimed jumping up and down. "Really." He replied, smiling at her.

"Wait for me ramen!" Narumi yelled running into the building. Minato stood up and smiled as he watched his daughter go in the building. He sighed though when he realized two things.

"Now to tell Kushina and Sensei." Minato sighed and walked to their house first.

Narumi was running inside the building, hurrying to find the classroom she was supposed to be in. She ran in a hallway looking right and left to see a closed door but to her dismay all the doors were open. Narumi let out a frustrated groan before turning around and going on the other side of the building, staying on the lower floors. This time she was starting to break out into a sweat by the time she made it to the end of the hall.

Glaring at the wall, Narumi kicked it as hard as she could leaving a hole in the wall. She turned on the heels of her feet and ran upstairs to second floor right side. Letting out a loud sigh, she grinned when she saw the door closed.

"Now for your final exam you must cre-" SLAM! "Don't start the test yet!" Narumi cried out, startling everyone. Her long blond pig-tails was frizzing out at the ends and she was panting a little.

"Narumi, your late." Iruka nagged looking at the girl. "Sorry Iruka-sensei! I had some... business! Yeah! I had some business to take care of!" She grinning sheepishly and saluted to him. "Just sit down for now." He sighed and she scrambled up the steps to sit in an open seat.

"Now as I was saying before, for your final exam you must create a doppleganger. Wait until your name is called, then go into the next room to take the test." He said and walked into the room. 'I wonder if I can do it this time.' Narumi mused looking out the window while everybody went to talk to their friends.

By the time the six name was called on, Narumi was already dozing off. Her eyes showing the class room before the whole scenery changed.

Narumi was in the forest running from something using the trees to get herself farther. She glanced back and saw another girl right beside her, keeping up to her. The girl had short spiky hair and goggles working as a headband to cover her bangs. Narumi saw that she was wearing the same orange jumpsuit as herself but with a large scroll on her back. Iruka was right behind them using the trees to catch up with both of them; him and the mystery girl both looking like they just got away from a fight. "Found her!" Iruka exclaimed looking at the one with the goggles.

"What?" Narumi said looking at them confused. "Naruto!" Iruka yelled getting both of their attention. "Naruto?" she repeated in the same voice, looking more puzzled. "Hurry, give me the scroll! Mizuki's after you!" Iruka yelled at her. Naruto stopped on a tree branch and swiftly jumped to tackle him in the chest, catching both Iruka and Narumi off guard. Iruka slammed to the ground, skidding to a halt on his back, while Naruto landed on her feet. The friction making him have a hard time stopping and slammed to a tree taking deep breaths, while Narumi jumped a few trees away from where they were.

She looked around and saw the real version of the girl hiding behind a large tree, holding a large scroll for dear life. "What's going on here?" Narumi asked aloud. "Your just seeing my past." An older version of the girl, Naruto, said swinging her arm around Narumi's shoulder. "W-who are you?" Narumi stuttered looking at the lady.

The older version of Naruto was wearing a black and orange long sleeve hoodie with it zipped down a little showing her fishnet V-neck and part of her chest, a short black ruffled skirt, orange tights, black legwarmers, and black heeled shinobi shoes. She looked to be the age of seventeen, wearing her long blond hair down like Kushina's and her red eyes glancing at her younger selves with a mischievous look.

"I'm you. We just have different names, dunno why though but we do. Right now your just seeing part of my past." Older Naruto explained giving her a foxlike grin. "Why? I mean is this even going to be helpful?" Narumi asked furrowing her brows. "Yes, now hush." Older Naruto muttered and pointed to the scene.

"Huh?" Iruka said slowly getting up, trembling slightly. "How... Naruto?" he asked. "How did you know I wasn't Iruka?" Mizuki said breaking the henge. "He he he he he" Naruto grinned. "Because," POOF! "I'm Iruka!" he said. "... I see..." Mizuki mused, glaring at the panting man. Narumi saw the real Naruto glancing to her left where the two Chunin were; she looked at the scene with both curiosity and amazement.

"He he he. You'd even transform into what killed your parents to protect her." Mizuki smirked. "I won't hand the scroll over to someone like you! Iruka declared. "You idiot! Naruto and I are the same!" He yelled shocking all of them, except the Older Naruto; she just frowned. "What!?" Iruka said looking at him.

Younger Naruto tensed up to his reaction and glared a little while Narumi looked at all of them worriedly. "If you use the skills in that scroll, you can do whatever you want! There's no way that demon fox wouldn't try to use the power of the scroll, unlike what you're assuming." he said smirking some more. 'Yeah..." Iruka replied.

Younger Naruto's eyes widen and Narumi flinched at that comment, both feeling emotionally and physically hurt from that response, while older Naruto's frowned grew at that comment. Naruto glared at the ground "I knew it." she whispered, and Narumi had to stain her ears to hear her. "See... even Iruka-sensei deep down... doesn't acknowledge me."

"The demon fox would do that... but Naruto is different. I've acknowledged him as one of my excellent students!" Iruka declared, Younger Naruto looking up, surprised at that comment.

"She may not be the hardest worker, and she's clumsy and no one accepts her. She already know what it is to feel pain inside your heart. She isn't the demon fox... she's a member of the hidden leaf village. She's Uzumaki Naruto!" He finished. Narumi rubbed her eyes from the tears falling from her face. She looked at Younger Naruto and saw tears and snot pouring down from her face in waves as she shook softly. "D-Did he really say that?" Narumi blubbered looking up at the soft smile that Older Naruto was giving her. "Yeah, he did." She said softly.

"Tsk!" Mizuki hissed before sighing. "Well whatever. I said I would take care of you later, but I change my mind." He said grabbing his last windmill shuriken from his back. "HURRY UP AND DIE!" He yelled swinging the shuriken in his hands. Mizuki swung his arms back and slid his foot back, the shuriken swinging faster by the second. Iruka smiled softly as he let go of the windmill, awaiting his fate. Younger Naruto came from her hiding space and kneed him in the gut, making the shuriken lose it direction and cut off some tree branches, catching everyone, except Older Naruto, off guard.

Mizuki slammed into the ground with a thud while Younger Naruto skidded to a stop, using her hand and feet. "Wha-" Narumi whispered. "It's just getting started, girlie." Older Naruto smirked. "You shouldn't have done that, brat!" Mizuki growled slowly picking himself up. "Don't you dare touch Iruka-sensei, or I'll kill you!" She snarled, balancing the scroll with one hand and the ground.

"You idiot! Why did you come out!" Iruka cried out. "Ha! I can kill a brat like you in one shot!" Mizuki sneered. "Try it and I'll bring back the pain a thousand times over." She threatened, making a cross hand sign. "Then do it demon fox!" He taunted.

POOF!

Iruka and Narumi looked at the area in shock. The whole area was covered in clones of Younger Naruto. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." both Naruto's said, one looking proud and nostalgic, the other showing different emotions from each clone.

"Wha-! What's going on?!" Mizuki demanded, looking around the area in confusion.

"What's wrong!"

"Weren't you going to kill me with one hit?!"

"Well then-"

"I'll start, okay?" One said rolling up her sleeve.

"Ah... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ahahaha~ Maybe I went too far!~" She confessed rubbing the back of her head. Mizuki was laying on the ground unconscious and with blood coming out of his mouth and nose. Narumi looked at both Naruto's in awe while Older Naruto crossed her arms and smiled with a blush on her face.

"Naruto, come here please. I need to give you something." Iruka said smiling softly. She stop laughing and gave him a confused look but still walked up to him. "Close your eyes, dear." He said and she did so feeling giddy and nervous at the same time.

Younger Naruto heard shuffling going on and something warm and smooth get tied around her forehead. Narumi walked up closer to see what was happening and gasped. She turned to face Older Naruto and gave her a bright warm smile when she nodded her head.

"Now can I sensei?" the Younger one asked. "Yes Naruto, you can open your eyes now." he said.

"Congratulations on graduation!"

"Wow" Narumi said giving a sideways glance at the older one. "Yep, that's how I got my hitai-ate. Such a good day, and soon you'll get yours too. See you later mini-me and watch out." Older Naruto said waving to the girl as she gave her a confused look.

Narumi open her eyes and felt her arm jolt straight out punching someone straight in the stomach, causing them to kneel down and a few onlookers to gape at her. She rubbed her eyes and let out a loud yawn before looking at the fallen person and for everything to click in her mind. "O-Oh my God! Hiro are you okay!?" she asked standing up. She walked to the fallen boy and helped him up, while he was still coughing and his pale face turning a nice shade of pink. "S-sorry for that N-Narumi. I-It's j-just that-" He wheezed out.

"Narumi Uzumaki-Namikaze!"

"Coming!" She yelled shooting a worried look to the Hyuuga boy and looked around the room trying to find someone, and smiled when she did.

"Sakura!"

"What Narumi?"

"Can you watch Hiro for me? Please?' she begged, jogging in place. "What's in it for..." She started to said but flinched. Narumi was giving the pinkette a harsh glare and was emitting a cold aura that was giving everyone the chills. "Fine, fine. I'll watch the Hyuuga kid, but please stop doing that!" She caved making her smile and sigh in relief, along with everyone else.

Narumi ran to the door as soon as she put Hiro in a seat and Sakura went to stand by him, everyone else continuing what they were doing before. She stopped though, when she stood right infront of it. She looked at the door with wide eyes. 'What if I fail!? What do I do!? Oh God I'm going to fail!'

'Just use the jutsu you saw.' A deep voice filled with annoyance said. "N-Naruto?" She whispered.

She looked around the room and saw a brief glimpse of a dark and murky sewer, but paled when she saw a giant red-orange fox with one of his blood red eyes filled with amusement and something else she couldn't identify behind a cell-like area.

She shook her head and slapped her cheeks, before pivoting on her feet to face the a deep breath, she shut her eyes slowly opened the door. Narumi stuck her head in the room and looked around. It was an medium size classroom with a table behind the chalk board. It had a tablecloth and around 20 hitai-ates on the table and two chunnins sitting right behind them. She enter the room and closed the door.

"We'll begin when your ready." Iruka said to the girl. She slowly nodded and hesitantly walked to the center of the room. Taking a deep breath, she made a hand sign that was foreign to her yet it seemed so natural to her. Iruka was the first to recognize the move as soon as she took that position, dread creeping on his face.

"Wait-" "SHADOW CLONE JUSTU!" "-Na…ru…mi."

Mizaki smiled but his eyes shined with anger and for a moment making it look like a grimace, while Iruka's face gladly met his palm.

"Whoa!" Narumi gaped looking around the room. The whole room was full of solid clones of the blue-eyed, blond hair girl and a few… male versions too? "Well this is wonderful and everything but can you dispel them?" Iruka groaned, his right eyebrow twitching. She looed at him and did so; the room filling up with fog. It quickly dissapeared to reveal Narumi rubbing the back of her head and laughing neveriously.

"That was great and everything, but I don't think she passed this time. After all, she didn't do what she was supposed to." Mizuki said getting a look from Iruka.

Narumi pursed her lips into a thin line and glared at Mizuki. "What are you talking about, Mizuki? She did something even better; she created enough solid shadow clones to fill the room." Iruka said looking at him oddly. "Congratulations. You can get your hitai-ate and leave."

Narumi blinked before a full grinned appeared on her face and grabbed a hitai-ate, putting it inside her jacket pocket. She walked out the room looking depressed and sat back where she was.

Later~

Everyone was outside the academy talking and showing their hitai-ate to their parents while Narumi was sitting on a swing. She would push herself a little but stared at the ground depressed. Someone came behind her and started to slowly push the swing, making the girl blink and look up. "Hey Naru." Kushina said smiling at her. "Hey Mama. Where's Papa?" she said.

"Behind the tree."

"Oh."

"I thought that would work." He muttered walking away from the tree. "So how did the test go?" Kushina asked stopping the swing. "I'm sorry, but I…." She mumbled looking away. "Hmm? I can't hear you, Naru." She said. "I said I passed!" She yelled standing up and pulling out her hitai-ate. 'Shoot.'

"I'm so proud of you!" Kushina gushed and picked Narumi up, giving her a big hug making her squeak and everyone look at them. She squealed and swung around in circles making Minato chuckle at the two. "M-Mama! Stooop!" Narumi cried out, her face turing red and started to squirm. Kushina stopped as soon as she saw Naru's face and placed her on the ground. She held out her hand to both Naru and Minato. "Why don't we celebrate with some ramen?" she decided giving Minato a glare as he chuckled softly and looked away. "Ra-men! Ra-men!" Narumi chanted pulling both their hands.
