DISCLAIMER!: I DON'T OWN NARUTO! Thought you'd know by now...

(A/N): OK, so here is the first one of my two for one try!

So...there will be short time skips throughout the chapter. I planned on getting through the Academy in like three or four chapters, but now that I think about it, it would be really boring trying to think of things for a eight year old to do. So I'm just going to do this all in one shot...

So without further a due, TO THE CHAPTER!

. . . .

Chapter 17: Secrets

. . . .

Naruto stiffened a bit and Cole saw that. "Oh, boy. Kiba, you done fucked up..."

. . . .

And Cole was right. He done fucked up. The poor boy didn't even know what kind of trouble he got himself in.

Naruto was giving the poor Inuzuka a death glare that could only be seen by Cole and the boy. Kiba, for his part, was doing very well not to let his legs shake and faint on the spot. He began to sweat and the little Akumaru started whining. "Y-Y-You know Hinata, I forgot my mom needed me to get something, I'll see you tomorrow!" He then ran off in the opposite direction.

Cole let out a sigh of relief that it didn't become violent. Ino was just looking at the poor kid who was running away. "Hey Hinata, I think he likes you," she told the Hyuuga with a raised eyebrow. Hinata just smiled and turned to Naruto and said, "Naru-kun, can I come to your house for dinner tonight?" Ino gaped at the girl. "Well she certainly has priorities."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, "I don't know, he dad can Hina-chan come over for dinner?" Cole looked down to his son. "Well, I was thinking of us going to Ichiraku's again to celebrate, but if Hinata is coming we can't go there..."

He immediately regretted saying this when he looked into their eyes. "No...no...no,no,no,no,no...NOOO! Not those eyes! Not those evil, evil, evil eyes of utter adorableness!" Cole tried to resist. He gave it all of his strength. Be he eventually fell to the power of the "Twin Puppy Dog Eyes of DOOM". "Oh, alright. If Hinata doesn't mind we can still go to Ichiraku's." Hinata and Naruto looked at each other and grinned evilly. "Those devils! They know! This...This is not going to end well..."

Cole thought for a moment as they were walking to the Ramen stand. He immediately looked to his wallet and began to cry anime tiers. He had forgotten that Hinata could out eat Naruto in Ramen...He was in for a economic crisis at the end of this.

Teuchi on the other hand, had the feeling he would be making a lot of money tonight.

. . . .

. . . .3 WEEKS LATER. . . .

Well, Cole has never felt so nervous and scared in his life. He was also never as happy and excited about something in his life. He was very conflicted.

This, this is the feeling someone gets when they are about to change something in their lives forever. And this change, involved a very outspoken purple haired woman.

When he saw her, he couldn't believe his eyes. She was the essence of beauty. His heart melted when she looked into his eyes nervously. He stumbled on his words, and nearly fainted from pressure. But her smile kept him going. Her smile powered him to commit to change, to take a leap, and not have any cares. She completed him. And so, from that day forward, she wouldn't be known as Mitarashi Anko. She was Uzumaki Anko. Wife of Uzumaki Seinaru. Wife of the Oracle. And wife, of Cole.

. . . .

. . . .3 years later. . . .

Today was the day. Naruto had been waiting for this day for nearly four years. Ever since the first day of Academy he waited. And now, it was time for the graduation test. He had sat through Iruka's classes for so long. Endured his fathers training for so long. And fought anyone, ANYONE, who got between him and his precious person. Naruto had become very protective of Hinata over the years. He hadn't noticed he was in love, but he would become enraged if people looked at her wrong, treated her without respect, or tried to act superior to her.

But today, he wouldn't fight anyone. Today was a day for peace, before the bloody future of being a Shinobi. His father didn't sugar coat the life of a ninja. Naruto knew the risks, and didn't treat the life as a job, but as a duty.

He was also dead tired due to the fact that he asked his father to spar the day before and had his ass royally handed to him on a silver platter. It took Iruka three tries to get his attention. "NARUTO!" He finally yelled. Naruto snapped awake and went down to perform the necessary jutsu. First was Kawarimi. Aced it. Next was Henge. Not a single flaw. And when Iruka asked him to make a clone. He made thirty to prove a point. "OK, OK, Naruto...no need to show off. You pass." Naruto just smiled happily before he walked back to his seat, and planted his face in his desk and fell back asleep. When you looked from far away, it almost looked like there were two Nara's in the class for a moment.

"Damn Demon...Looks like I'm going to have to steal the scroll myself..." Mizuki thought as he glared at the blonde.

. . . .

Mizuki was racing through the forest thinking to himself that he was home free. Orochimaru was going to love his new present. However, before he got to far he was forced off his feet and flew into a tree. Once he recovered he noticed a giant of a man with a dwarf of a kid standing in front of him. "Hmm, looks like we found the thief...I am surprised that one of Naruto's teachers was the traitorous type." Cole said in mock surprise. Mizuki just glared at him before he looked at Naruto.

A smile formed on his face. "Well since I'm going to die anyway...Naruto, do you want to know a secret?" Mizuki asked. All he got in return was a glare from the boy. His father was indifferent. "Well I'm going to tell you anyways. Twelve years ago when the Kyuubi attacked, the Yondaime didn't defeat the beast...No it was too strong even for him. So he sealed it away. Into a snot nosed blonde brat! That's right ya little bitch! YOU ARE THE KYUUBI NO YOKO!" Naruto looked absolutely stunned, he was not expecting this in the slightest. Was this why the villagers looked at him like he had the plague when they walked through the village. Was this why he didn't have any friends besides Hinata and Tenten?

Mizuki's smile only widened when he started up again, "And the best part is," Cole's face paled. He only wanted Mizuki to reveal the Fox to Naruto like before, not this. Not like this. "THIS MOTHER FUCKER AIN'T EVEN YOUR REAL FATHER! YOU KILLED YOUR PARENTS WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU LITTLE PIECE OF-"

Mizuki's words were cut short when his head was separated from his body by the Teki no Hocho.

Cole looked at his son with worry in his eyes. Naruto had tiers in his eyes and was staring at his father in fear. "Is, is it true...I am the Kyuubi no Yoko? I'm...adopted..."

. . . .

(A/N) WHOA! a lot happened there...so...yeah...stuff.

Well...remember to review...I'll...I'll see ya next time...
