Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a grin, "Kid, you've come a long way. From mastering the basics to unleashing the power of the Rasengan. But there's more to learn, and we're not stopping now. We have two more years ahead of us."

Naruto, eager and determined, replied, "I'm ready, sensei. What's next?"

Jiraiya handed Naruto a scroll, "This is the toad contract. Signing it means you'll be summoning toads, just like me. It's a significant step in your journey."

Naruto, intrigued, asked, "Toads? Like Gamabunta?"

Jiraiya nodded, "Exactly. But remember, it's not just about summoning. It's about forming a bond with these creatures. They'll be your allies, your friends."

Naruto, with a determined look, said, "I'll do it, sensei. I'm ready for whatever comes next."

Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder, "That's the spirit, kid. Let's make these two years count. We've got a lot more to achieve, and I believe in you."

2 years Timeskip:

The Hokage, consumed by worry, paced back and forth in his office. The absence of Jiraiya and Naruto for an extra week had stirred unease within him. Just then, an ANBU operative appeared with the news.

ANBU: "Hokage-sama, there are unfamiliar individuals at the village gate. They request permission to meet with you."

The Hokage, his furrowed brow revealing the weight of his concerns, nodded in acknowledgment.

Hokage: "Let them in, but maintain vigilance. Escort them to my office; I'll be awaiting their arrival."

The ANBU operative vanished again, moving swiftly to carry out the Hokage's orders. The anticipation within the Hokage's office intensified as the mystery surrounding Naruto and Jiraiya's prolonged absence seemed to converge with the arrival of these enigmatic visitors.

As the strangers enter:

Hokage scrutinized the strangers in robes, one resembling an adult while the other a child. The air in the room grew tense as he observed them closely.

The tall figure revealed himself, his voice carrying a sense of familiarity.

Jiraiya: "Hokage, old man, you seem to have forgotten your wayward student. It's been quite the journey, but we've returned."

Hokage, astonished: "Jiraiya, Naruto! You're back. But why the secrecy? I was worried sick. Where have you been?"

Naruto, maintaining his stoic demeanor, stayed silent. Jiraiya took the lead.

Jiraiya: "We've been on a training journey, teaching Naruto the ropes. He's not the same kid who left the village. It's time for him to step into the light."

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office shifted as the weight of their adventures began to unfold in the conversation.

Hokage: "Welcome back, both of you. Naruto, it's time for you to join the academy. We'll find you a team and a sensei. Jiraiya, you're free to do as you please, but I expect you to check in on Naruto's progress in a month. The village has changed in your absence."

Naruto's expression remained indifferent, and Jiraiya gave a nod of acknowledgment. The challenges ahead were becoming clearer, and the village awaited the return of its prodigal ninja.

Hokage: "How is Naruto, Jiraiya? From what I saw, he still seems cold."

Jiraiya: "He's opened up to me, but he remains a total mystery. There's a lot going on beneath the surface. We'll see how he progresses."

As Naruto's form disappeared, the weight of uncertainty lingered in the air, leaving the Hokage with a sense of regret.

Suddenly Naruto came back to the Hokage's office, hokage looked at him with a questioning look, as Naruto said, "Address."

Hokage was still confused about what he wanted, then Naruto clarified, "Where will I live, old man?"

Hokage had a Pikachu face as he said, "Oh," after recovering, he provided the address, looking a bit embarrassed

After the awkward scene:

As Hiruzen questioned Jiraiya about Naruto's progress, Jiraiya confirmed, "Yes, sensei, he unlocked his kekkei genkai during a confrontation with a rogue Shinobi. His chakra chains emerged, swiftly dealing with the threat."

Hiruzen's eyes narrowed with intrigue. "Chakra chains... Kushina's legacy. Naruto is unraveling the Uzumaki's unique abilities."

Jiraiya continued, "He's determined to change the village's perception of him, Sensei. It seems his journey is taking unexpected turns."

Hiruzen, a mix of concern and pride, observed the unfolding saga of Naruto's evolving abilities and determination.

Jiraiya, addressing Hiruzen's query about fuinjutsu, responded with pride, "His fuinjutsu has reached level 5, and I foresee him becoming a master in the years to come. Naruto is absorbing knowledge like a sponge, Sensei."

As hiruzen, ask about naruto's kekkei genkai :"What about his kekkei genkai, Jiraiya?"
As Jiraya starts: "It seems he inherited Kushina's chakra chains. He displayed them during a" training session. However, Naruto claims to have no idea how he did it.
Jiraiya's unease lingered as he couldn't shake off the suspicion surrounding Naruto's sudden awakening of his mother's kekkei genkai. Hiruzen observed the situation, sensing that there was more to this unfolding story.

FLASHBACK:

Jiraiya: Alright, Naruto, let's see how you handle this.

Jiraiya threw a kunai with precision, aiming directly for a vital point. Naruto's eyes widened as he instinctively unleashed his chakra chains to deflect the incoming weapon.

Jiraiya: (shocked) Chakra chains... That's... Kushina's kekkei genkai.
As Naruto unexpectedly manifested chakra chains, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a mixture of surprise and realization. The connection between Naruto and his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, became more evident, unlocking a chapter of his heritage that Naruto himself had yet to fully comprehend.

Jiraiya: Naruto, how did you summon those chakra chains?

**Naruto:** (internally panicking) Oh, that wasn't supposed to happen. (to Jiraiya) Uh, I don't know, sensei.*As Naruto tried to conceal his awareness of the situation, Jiraiya eyed him suspiciously, sensing there was more to this kekkei genkai than Naruto was letting on. Unbeknownst to Naruto, the mysteries surrounding his abilities deepened, adding an air of unpredictability to his already complex journey.*

FLASHBACK END

Hiruzen: Did you inform Naruto about his mother's kekkei genkai? , As Jiraiya replied: Yeah, I told him. But he seemed clueless about it. , As Hiruzen noded: In the end, it's a good thing. He's the last member of his clan, and having that kekkei genkai back might be crucial for him.

AT NARUTO APARTMENT:

As Naruto settled into his new apartment, looking out of the window, he began unpacking his belongings — weapons, mementos from his journey. In a moment of reflection, he muttered to himself, "Another chapter about to unfold, and we will prevail it together."

Kurama responded, "Yeah, kit, together we'll face whatever comes our way."

Next day:

As Naruto walks towards the Hokage tower, people in the village look with fear at him,"Hey, Old Man, what happened to the villagers? They are looking at me with fear," Naruto questioned as he reached the Hokage tower.

Hokage reassured him, "Don't worry, Naruto. They won't bother you anymore."

"Alright, mind leading me to the academy, Old Man?" Naruto asked.

Hokage replied, "Sure, I'll introduce you to the academy. Come with me."

As Hokage and Naruto entered the classroom, Hokage addressed Iruka, "Iruka, this is Naruto. He's a special student who was with my student Jiraiya. Now, he wishes to join the academy. Don't worry; he's skilled, and he'll pass the exam."

The students looked at Naruto with shock upon learning he was trained by a Sannin. An Uchiha in the class eyed him with jealousy, thinking, "Why was that idiot trained by a Sannin? He looks nothing special. He should train me too."

Hokage, with a sense of pride, continued, "Naruto has undergone rigorous training with Jiraiya, and I believe he will bring a unique perspective to the academy. I trust you'll make him feel welcome."

Iruka, slightly surprised but respectful, replied, "Of course, Hokage-sama. Welcome to the academy, Naruto. We're glad to have you here."

Naruto, maintaining his calm demeanor, nodded in acknowledgment, "Thanks. Let's get this over with." The whispers and curious gazes from fellow students were not lost on him as he took his seat, ready to face the challenges ahead.

Iruka, addressing the class, began, "Alright, class, let's start with some history. Naruto, are you familiar with the history of Konoha?"

Naruto, maintaining a composed tone, responded, "Yes, sensei. I've learned about the village's history during my training."

Iruka nodded, "Great. Let's continue with today's lesson, everyone."

As the final bell echoed through the academy, concluding the day's lessons, Naruto calmly gathered his belongings, his eyes focused on the door. However, his path was intercepted by Sasuke Uchiha, a fellow student with a burning desire to prove himself,

Sasuke: "Hey, Naruto! I've heard you've been getting special treatment. Let's see if you're as good as they say."

Naruto, uninterested: "Not now, Sasuke. I've got better things to do.", Sasuke, growing frustrated: "You can't avoid me forever, Naruto. We'll settle this.", Naruto, indifferent: "Settle what? I don't have time for pointless fights."

As Naruto vanished from Sasuke's view, the Uchiha clenched his fists, determined to prove that he was better than the seemingly indifferent and elusive Naruto.

Sasuke, to himself: "Fine, Naruto. You can't escape me. I'll make you acknowledge my strength.", The Uchiha's burning desire for validation fueled his determination to confront Naruto, setting the stage for a rivalry that would define their paths as shinobi.

Naruto groggily opened his eyes, still half in the realm of dreams as Kurama's voice echoed in his mind. Kurama: "Wake up, Naruto. It's time for school. Today is your graduation day."Naruto blinked, realizing the significance of the day. Graduation day—the day he had been looking forward to with a mix of excitement and nervousness. He jumped out of bed, ready to face the challenges and adventures that awaited him.

As Naruto made his way towards the academy, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The morning sun cast a warm glow over the village, and today was a significant day for him. As he reached the academy entrance, he heard Iruka's voice calling out names.

Iruka: "Naruto Uzumaki!"

The air seemed to crackle with anticipation as Naruto walked into the room. The gaze of his classmates was like a weight on his shoulders, but he held his head high, ready to face whatever challenges awaited him.

Iruka: "Alright, everyone, settle down. Today is a special day. You've all worked hard to get here, and now it's time for your graduation exam."

The words echoed in Naruto's ears, and he felt a surge of determination. This exam was more than just a test; it was a chance to show the village that he was no longer the outcast they once saw him as.

When names were called, Naruto's name came.

Iruka: "Naruto Uzumaki!"

As Naruto's name echoed through the academy, he stepped into the room with a mix of confidence and eagerness. The eyes of his fellow students followed him, some curious, others judgmental. However, Naruto was determined to prove himself. Graduation day was a symbol of a new beginning, a chance to rewrite his narrative.
Naruto walked out of the room, his heart pounding with anticipation. As he emerged, he proudly wore the headband signifying his graduation, the symbol of a step forward in his ninja journey. The fabric felt different against his forehead, a tangible representation of the recognition he had earned. The murmurs in the room transformed into a buzz of acknowledgment. Naruto's journey had been challenging, filled with hardships and loneliness, but in that moment, he stood tall, ready to embrace the path that lay ahead.

Iruka: "Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and your sensei is Kakashi Hatake."

Naruto's ears perked up at the mention of his team. Team 7. The dynamic trio – himself, Sakura, and Sasuke – led by the mysterious Kakashi. A mix of emotions played on Naruto's face, ranging from curiosity to indifference. Naruto: "Kakashi-sensei, huh? Well, let's see how this goes."Inside his mind, Kurama chimed in with his usual snark. Kurama: "We've got an avenger and a banshee on the team. This should be interesting."As Naruto walked towards his new teammates, he couldn't help but wonder how this team dynamic would unfold. Little did he know, Team 7 was about to embark on a journey that would shape their destinies.

Sakura: "Sasuke-kun, I was thinking, after our missions, would you go on a date with me? You know, to celebrate our successes together?"Sasuke *ignores Sakura, visibly annoyed*, Naruto: *mentally chuckles* "Looks like we've got a banshee on the team, Kurama. Should I offer some advice?"Kurama: "Were you deaf, when I said we got a banshee and an avenger, Anyway Just enjoy the show, Kit."As Sakura continued her attempts to get Sasuke's attention, Naruto and Kurama observed the unfolding dynamics within Team 7, each member bringing their unique quirks to the mix. Little did they realize that these initial interactions would set the tone for the challenges and adventures awaiting them in the days to come.

Finally after three hours Kakashi entered the room and said to three kids, "Meet me on the roof, fast", as he vanished soon following Naruto too Shunshin to Kakashi and said:" so you our sensei, huh ?", Kakashi said:" naruto I want to see how much better you have become ", Naruto replies: "Soon kakashi sensei soon"

As Sakura and Sasuke join them on the roof, the air becomes charged with anticipation. Team 7, an unlikely trio, now under the guidance of Kakashi Hatake, stands poised on the precipice of a new chapter in their shinobi journey.

Kakashi starts, "ok so let's start with the introduction, I am Kakashi Hatake, I don't have any dreams, my hobbies, well grow up first, now you next pinky"

Sakura: "Well my name is Sakura Haruno, my dream is ... hehe, my hobby is ... hehe", as Kakashi says: "ok (with a sweat drop), you next duck butt"

Sasuke a little angry with the nickname but starts: "My name is Sasuke Uchchia, my hobby I don't have any, my dream I don't have a dream but an ambition I will kill him", Kakashi says: "OK, Naruto you next"

As Naruto starts: "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, my hobby is training, and my dream is to get revenge"

Kakashi stares at them, then says to them: "Ok, we are going to take your test tomorrow, to see if you are eligible to become genin or not", All three genin look at him with shocked eyes, and Sakura shouts: " what, but we already give the test" as Kakashi replied: "No my little genin what you give was just preliminary, I will take the real test tomorrow be there at 6 am and don,t eat breakfast you might throw up"
