Only a month after The Uchiha Massacre, had Sasuke finally started to feel comfortable living in the Uzumaki Compound.
And with Sasuke living here, Along side Sakura, Naruto was feeling like the compound finally had some proper life to it.
Sakura was training like there was no tomorrow, and now she had upped her training intensity once more, making her progress even more astounding, and rocketing her straight up past all the student in the class. She was physically stronger than Naruto was, and if she applied her amazing chakra control and used some Simple techniques to distract him, She could guarantee a win.
But that just made Naruto train harder.
Sasuke had also been training with Kenjutsu with Naruto and Fenrir, and was learning fast thanks to his Sharingan.
He could copy the stances perfectly, but integrating them into his own style and actually being able to perform them without the Sharingans help, was a challenge.
But Fenrir insisted that he learn the old fashion way, and study the forms like Naruto had,
Naruto had talked to Fenrir and Frigga about Sasuke's request for signing the Summoning Contract.
Frigga was happy to have Sasuke be a summoner, She believed that the boy would be something truly amazing under the care of the Wolves, and said he could sign it any time.
Fenrir, on the the other hand, was much more reserved.
He didn't disapprove of the idea.
No, in fact the thought it would be amazing to have two summoner, so they can use some of the techniques that required team work.
But he wanted to wait till Sasuke had graduated, and proven himself to be worthy if such a gift.
Sasuke was... Unhappy with the decision, but he accepted Fenrirs condition, knowing that the wolf wouldn't budge just because Sasuke was the last Uchiha, and didn't care about his pride.
So Sasuke spent his days, when he wants training alongside Naruto in Kenjutsu, Studying his families Scrolls, learning and trying to master Jutsu that would give him an edge on any enemy he encountered.
But it was also around this time that Kakashi had revealed a few things to everybody.
His Sharingan to Sasuke.
And his Secret relationship with Anko that had blossomed after a while
Sasuke was shocked at first, knowing his clans eye had been given to an outsider was a hit to his pride as an Uchiha, but when he released that this meant he wasn't alone, and that pride was quickly dashed by his joy and happiness.
Kakashi may not be related by blood, but they were both apart of the Uzumaki Clan now, and that was just as good.
And as for Anko and Kakashi, Naruto was very happy for the two.
At first Kakashi had been like a brother to Naruto, but that born had changed over the years they had been around each other.
Kakashi was now more like a father to him, and there was even an very embarrassing incident where Naruto once called him Dad. And when Anko and Kakashi made the reveal she even said Naruto should call her mom, because he had called Kakashi Dad.
It was an embarrassing moment, one that he had pranked Anko for the next day with pouring a mixture of a very smelly herb, Mud and a small amount of a certain Mucle relaxing chemical he had stolen from her, onto her head by propping a bucket of it over the door.
It was that mixture that made her unable to move till Kakashi came running when he heard her screams and smelled the noxious oder of the mixture.
True, Naruto had suffered a lot that day after she recovered and forced him to be her teat subject for various poisons, an dit had left him unable to move his right arm for a whole three hours, but it was worth it to get the payback.
But apart from Anko's teasing, Kakashi had requested that Sasuke allow him access to some of the more Sharingan-based Genjutsu.
Sasuke didn't mind, and they even started to work on developing their skills together.
Outside of the Compound, and in the Academy, Nothing much had changed.
Sasuke, being the annoying charismatic person he was, had slowly been developing a series of fangirls over the years.
He was horrified at it, but he thanked what ever being that controlled Fate and Chance, that Ino and Sakura weren't apart of that group.
They were his friends, and he didn't want to have to start avoiding them because they tried to flirt with him.
Speaking of which, Ino had been making a lot of progress.
Her training in her Clans Mind Jutsu, Her Medical Jutsu, and Now thanks to Naruto giving her a piece of chakra paper to test it out, A few Jutsu that fit her Elemental Affintiy of Water release.
She was quickly becoming veur strong in her own right.
Choji had also grown, determined to not be left behind by his friends, he worked harder than most to improve. And after a Quick test, and a few gifts from Naruto, he had also started to learn Earth release techniques, to bolster his Arsenal of powerful attacks.
Shikamaru, who had become perhaps even better at Seals than Naruto had thanks to his keen mind, had also gotten a Charka paper test, which showed Wind release affinity, and a few Techniques. He had been slacking on his Kenjutsu, but as it wasn't his main focus anymore, it was perfectly fine, but He still trained with Naruto when he felt he needed to.
Hinata had grown into her own style. Since She started the Academy Naruto and the others had been helping her increase for confidence and bring her out of her shell. This confidence helped in her Clans Gentle Fist training. She too had been tested for an Affinity, and had come up with Water like Ino.
So they were often found studying their techniques that they had gotten from Naruto and training together.
And although Hinata wasn't a dedicated Medic, she learned the basics of medical Jutsu, Her Byakugan being a huge help to her in that department.
Kiba, as the last of Naruto's friends, had probably experienced a huge wake up call when he saw Naruto and Sasuke Spar one day.
It was a no holds bared fight, and with authorization from the teachers, they were allowed to use the training field at the Acadmey and use any techniques they had.
Although Iruka demanded that he be present to witness the fight, to make sure no body would get hurt or carried away.
As the fight began, slowly getting more and more intense, Everybody was forced to tale a few steps back as Naruto and Sasuke started to show their true strength.
In the first part, They exchanged in Taijutsu, which was an overwhelming defeat for Sasuke, as Naruto was just too strong for him, being a Jinchuriki that's Tennants chakra had slowly made him stronger over his life.
Next was a Sword fight.
The Sharingan made for an amazing counter for Kenjutsu since it could copy and predict Naruto's moves, so they were matched there.
And lastly, in a fight of Ninjutsu, Everybody was blown away at the sight if the two.
Storms Embrace covered the field, slightly obstructing the view of the onlookers a bit.
Various Fire Release techniques were thrown by Sasuke in an attempt to beat Naruto.
But with a combo of Naruto's quick thinking, and an Overcharged Soaring Kunai Jutsu, Sasuke's fire techniques were turned against him, as the fire mixed with the Wind Chakra on the Kunai, and caused small explosions.
With that, Naruto had won the fight.
The fight was described by most as Amazing.
Iruka was proud of his student, and that they had come so far.
And the crowd was absolutely shocked that too Shinobi monsters had risen to the top of their class without them actually knowing much about it.
And although some injuries and burns had been sustained, Ino and Sakura had been there to fix them up.
The fight ended with Both of the boys grinning like mad men, Sasuke saying to Naruto that next time they fight, they would definitely win.
And Naruto saying to Sasuke that be would be looking forward to the challenge.
And throughout all of this, Kiba was feeling weak.
His friends were all quickly leaving him behind, and he had been ignorant at just how strong they all were.
So he dived into training like never before, Getting help from his clans strongest Shinobi, and even Fenrir once he had begged for help enough.
He showed more determination than Naruto and Sasuke.
More drive than Sakura.
And To fenrir's own admission, more potential than some of his own Pack.
