Yatta!" Naruto exclaimed, his voice booming a shiny new head band on his forehead, the Konohagakures insignia emblazoned on its surface.

He was absolutely ecstatic it was as though lightning had filled his veins, he couldnt sit still although it still kinda felt like a dream as though he might wake up any moment.

Naruto was one step closer of becoming the strongest ninja in all the elemental nations, and one store closer to Rebuilding his clan and achieving the glory he wants for it.

'Watch out world Naruto Uzumaki was coming and he doesn't stop for no-one!'

Naruto looked around at his friends as they all sat around the class room after the exam, waiting for the final few to be treated.

Sasuke had a prideful look in his eyes as he looked out the window. Sakura just had a smug look on her face, having been praised as the Number one Kunoichi of the Academy for her entire time there. I was yelling at Shikamaru for sleeping, while Shikamaru, as had been started previously, was sleeping. Choji was eating chips as always, looking on at Ino and Shikamaru's antics with a smile. Kiba was equally as excited as Naruto, saying he couldnt wait to start learning his clans techniques his mother wouldn't allow him to learn yet. And Hinata had a very neutral look on her face, but as she would sneak peeks at Naruto while he was distracted being happy, she would smile.

Naruto was thinking about how to celebrate this achievement.

He had passed he Academy, and was now a Shinobi.

In recent time, his skills had increased only a bit in power.

He had focused mostly on applying new tactics to real life situations, rather than learning anything new, so he could expand his limited arsenal of maneuvers. Although his Fuinjutsu and and Kenjutsu were an exception, as he refused to be anything less than perfect when it came to his Clans primary Arts.

But as Naruto was lost in thought and Joy, it seemed the former students had been dismissed and told to come back for team assignments the next day, and Sasuke had to bonk Naruto on the head to get his attention.

As they all walked out of the Academy, Naruto suggested that everybody come over for a celebration. Nothing on the scale of one of the Uzumaki parties, but just a small get-together to celebrate making it through the Academy.

Everybody agreed, and the time was set for later tonight.

And as everybody went their separate ways, Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto were left to walk together.

"I can't believe we actually made it" Naruto said, "We graduated from the Academy and now we're Shinobi... It all seems like a dream"

Sasuke and Sakura couldn't help but agree.

But on all of their minds, was what Fenrir would give them once they got back.

Sasuke would get to sign the Wolf Contract, and become a Summoner.

Sakura would receive a gift made by Tengan, which had been revealed to be a pair of Armoured gloves that used Fuinjutsu to store Kinetic energy and then be able to release it to increase the strength of attacks.

And Naruto would receive a new blade.

One that was very special to Fenrir, because it's blade was made using a refined and forged Fang from his father.

Fenrir's Fang, was a blade that could change size like a lot of the wolves could, and it could modify its shape slightly. The blade was an item that was made to honour Fenrir's father after he died.

Naruto knew that it was a big deal to get the sword, and he promised both himself and Fenrir that the blade would be in good hands.

As they arrived at the Gates to the Uzumaki Compound, Almost everybody was there to welcome them back.

Sakura's parents, Fenrir, Skoll, Frigga, Kakashi, Anko, everybody except Tengan had gathered at the gates to congratulate them.

Sakura's parents couldn't have seemed more proud of their daughter, especially when she told them she graduated as the overall Top Kunoichi of their class in all but one aspect, which was chakra sense.

Hinata had that one down from the beginning, and it was impossible for anybody by Naruto or Sasuke to even come close, since Sasuke had the Sharingan and Naruto had the senses he had been training relentlessly for year's.

But aside form that, Frigga, Skoll, Kakashi, Anko and Fenrir all grouped up with Naruto and Sasuke, each making sure they knew how proud they were of the two.

Sasuke was embarrassed, after all, he wasn't exactly related by blood, so he might of felt a little out of place getting praised by everybody.

But seeing this, Fenrir gave him a few words.

"Blood may be thicker than water, But the bonds of Family are forged through shared experiences. So don't forget Sasuke, You'll always have a family here in us"

Sasuke couldn't help but feel like his heart was being stabbed, he had been thinking things like like 'he doesn't really belong here', but now he knew that he did.

He felt like a fool, but he was a happy fool.

And he wouldn't have it any other way.

.

.

.

The celebration was set to start in an hour, and while a small area in the compound was being prepared for the kids to have their fun, Sasuke stood in the Uzumaki vault, specifically, the room where the Wolf contract was usually kept.

Fenrir and Frigga stood in front of Sasuke, the contract between them, and A knife in Sasuke's hand.

Naruto stood to the side and watched, excited that Sasuke was going to be joining him as a summoner.

""Sasuke Uchiha, Last of the Uchiha Clan. Do you vow to uphold the Creed of the Pack? To put family before everything, and to never give anything but your best?"" Fridge and Fenirr asked in unison.

Sasuke nodded, "I do"

"Then, Sasuke Uchiha, As Patriarch of the Wolves, I here by give my permission for you to sign the Contract, and bind yourself to us in Mind, Body and Soul"

Saduke nodded and slit his finger and wrote his name on the contract, then as he made his hand print beneath that, everything was done.

Naruto cheered out, and Fenrir and Frigga chuckeld at the Young Uzumaki's antics.

"Well Sasuke, Guess your stuck with me now? We're officially brothers in arms. So your not allowed to go dying like an idiot, ok?" Naruto said.

Sasuke, being the ever-aloof yet still confident boy he was, answered back "Only if you don't go dying first?" But instead of a smug shit eating grin, it was a genuine smile.

"As if! If natbodies going down first It's You! You can't beat Sakura in Taijutsu, and I'm much closer to her strength that you are, Your the one being defeated first" Narito shot back as they started their exit from the vault.

"It's not my problem that your freakishly strong. Weren't the Uzumaki known for their Strength and stubbornness?" he said.

Naruto just grinned with a nod, and they exited the Main house and out to the small area where everything was set up ready for everybody.

All that was left to do was to wait for Everybody to arrive.

An dspeakign of which, Fenrir gave a quick sniff of the air, and smiled.

"Your friends are nearing the gate, and it seems that their are more than one Hyuga in the group... Hinata must of bringing her family" Fenrir said.

Naruto frowned a little, "How many more Hyuga are there?"

"3" Fenrir answered.

Naruto quickly served his memories.

He remembered that Hinata had mentioned her mothers death, and that her only real family were her father Hiashi, her little sister Hinabi, and her cousin Neji.

'Neji...' Naruto knew that neji was as abrasive as it came.

He had heard from Hinata about his past, about how his father was selected to take Hiashi's place at a meeting and was killed in his place in an ambush, and he had heard from another academy students about him being in a perpetual mood, like he had a stick up his ass.

But as he was 1 year their senior, Naruto never really met him as Naruto was usually busy with his one friends and his training.

He had seen him once, but that was in the halls, and he didn't even talk to boy.

'Guess this is going to be a lot more than just a celebration' Naruto thought as he went with Sasuke and Sakura to meet everybody at the Gate.
