Chapter 4: Cat's Out of the Bag
Elsewhere, Kakashi was on top of a building as he watched from a distance as both Naruto and Sasuke were taken by the hawk, grasshopper and tiger masked Anbu members. "Well. . .my work for the day is done." He stated as he began to recalled his talk with the Hokage before he and Kurenai were called by him about the change of students.
Flashback no Jutsu!
Kakashi was walking calmly around the village with one of his hands in his pockets while the other had an orange book as an occasional perverted chuckle or two escaped his mouth. "Oh Kei-chan and Miyuki, you naughty girls. . .getting it on with Musashi like that. . .he's one lucky son of a bitch. . ." He got out as he kept reading while another perverted chuckle escaped.
Suddenly, an Anbu with a white, red and green dog mask appeared right in front of him. "Kakashi-san." The Anbu greeted.
This made Kakashi stopped as he look over his book. "Hmm?" He got out as he looked at the Anbu for a moment or two and then gave his infamous eye smile. "Oh! Hello Tenzō!" He greeted.
At this the Anbu nearly fell at that greeting. "Don't blow my cover Kakashi-senpai. . ." He stated in annoyance.
Kakashi however didn't stopped eye smiling. "Right, right, can't blow an Anbu's cover and all." He said with a teasing tone as he wave his hand in a disarming way. This only made for the mask Anbu to get really annoyed.
The Anbu only groaned for moment as he then sigh in desperation. "You always do this Kakashi-senpai. . ." He got out with an annoyed tone. The ANbu knew that Kakashi always loved doing this to this particular Anbu, but since he himself was also an ex-Anbu he would never really blow his cover, since the road he was in was completely devoid of person it was the only reason he did this, so that's why he was more annoyed than anything else.
Kakashi meanwhile was still eye smiling to that. "I have no clue what is it your refering to." He commented with a teasing tone.
The Anbu sighed to that before regaining his composure. "Anyways. . .The Hokage wishes to talk to you as soon as possible." He then told him the reason for his appearance.
To this, Kakashi blinked and his eye turn to his normal lazy look as he too gave a sigh. "Let me guess. . .this is yet again for the team placements, isn't it?" He lazily commented as he was really looking forward to this.
"Yes," The Anbu answered instantly. "Make your way there immediately Kakashi-senpai." He soon ordered as he then disappeared.
Once Kakashi was alone once again, he let out another sigh. "Why do I even bother. . .they won't pass the test like all the others anyways. . ." He got out as he then disappeared via Shushin.
At the Hokage tower. . .
The age Hokage was writing some documents as he then heard a knock at his door. This made Hiruzen look at the door as he then place down his feather pen and intertwine his fingers together. "So he's here." He thought as he knew who it was. "Come in." He stated.
No sooner he said this the door open and Kakashi walked in his office. "You called for me Hokage-sama?" He asked with a clearly lazier tone than normal.
Hiruzen could only sigh at the attitude of one of his most elite Jonin he had. "Still can't move on. . ." He thought to himself with a sad tone. "Yes, that's right, it's that time to have you have a new team of genins." He then said with a normal tone.
Kakashi admittingly sighed to that. "Hokage-sama, you know of my track record. . ." He reminded.
"Yes I know. . ." Hiruzen replied without missing a beat.
This made Kakashi to raise his eyebrow at this response, as normally the Hokage would tried to say that this one new team would be different and to give it a chance. "Then you should already know the any team you give won't pass." He then said as he felt that he too should just get to the point and see where it goes.
"This team however is different to say the least. . .in more ways than one." The elderly Hokage vaguely stated with a smile borderlining a smirk on his face.
To that statement, Kakashi was really confused now as sure he was expecting his leader to say the same line as he had done so many times, but never had he had that expression on his face before. "What are talking about? Who are the misfortunates you giving me this time?" He then questioned as he now really confused as he can't even fathom what team he will be assigned to. "Why do I get the sick feeling that this team is going to be the end of me?" He thought with a slight fear in his tone.
The age Hokage only chuckled as the mind games he was playing was finally working on Kakashi. "Lets just say. . ." Hiruzen began as he went to his desk and gave a file with 'Team Seven' on it. "This team may be the cure for you. . ." He then concluded with a smirk on his face as he handed the file to him. "Or create a new illness that will make you go bald or turn your silver hair white." He added in his head with a chuckle.
This really shocked Kakashi, as he knew that the age Hokage was a very sensitive man and he would never prove a man's traumas, so for him to say it like that with a carefree tone was a true shocker. "Ok. . ." Kakashi barely got out as he turned to the file as a he gain a cold sweat began to fall from his face, as he was now scared at finding out just who are the misfits he will have to take care of now.
"What's wrong Kakashi?" Hiruzen got out in fake confusion. This caused Kakashi to get out of his thoughts and look at his leader. "Aren't you curious to know who they are?" He then asked with an evil like tone of voice as his mind games had complete took hold on the silver haired man.
As a result, Kakashi was now desperately trying to find something to say as he was now truly terrified now, but he hide it like the pro he was. "Oh? No reason. . ." He replied as he then decided to jumped into the abyss and just grave the file.
Later on. . .Kakashi would had wish every Kami or deity out there to beat up his past self for that.
Kakashi raised his single eye as he saw a the profile of a blue haired, white/lavender eyed girl's photo. "Hinata Hyuga?" He questioned with slight confusion.
The Hokage nodded to that in response. "Correct. The reason for this is bit more personal for the girl, but just treat her like any student." He told him.
Kakashi merely shrugged to that as he was more or less certain she would fail the test like all the others before her. "Alright, I really don't care if she is from a clan, she still has to pass the test anyway." He stated.
"That will not be a problem." Hiruzen simply replied with a smile.
To the calmness in his leader's voice, Kakashi really didn't understand what was going on now, he initially thought the his leader was only going to make a team of clans genins to make him take interest, but with that response, that theory had been completely blew out the window. "Then why is he so convince that this team will help me. . ." He thought to himself.
Sensing Kakashi's confusion, Hiruzen only chuckle at the Jonin. "Aren't you going to look at the rest?" He then questioned, getting the Jonin to return to reality. "At this rate you'll finish it when the placement calling had ended." He joked.
Kakashi coughed to that as he then turn to the next file, this this his reaction was more vivid as he looked at the picture of a dark, duck butt shaped hair boy with a frown on his face. "The disguised heiress of the almost dead clan?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Correct," The Hokage responded before sighing with much annoyance. "You know as well as I do that the Uchiha was going to be on your team thanks to a certain council constantly demanding it, so that you can train her Sharingan when it activates for her." He explained.
Kakashi had to sigh to this, as he figured that would had happen sooner or later before he then gave out a sigh. "You know hokage-sama, if I already didn't concluded that the potential future clan heads had nothing to do with it, I would had thought you're bribing me with said future clan heads to be a sensei. . ." He stated with a sweatdrop falling from his check.
Hiruzen only chuckled in good humor to that. "Yes, one would had assume that," He began with a small smirk, then the humor filled face completely disappeared and a serious one replace it. "You might want to look at the final potential future clan head. . ." He then joked but still had his serious look.
Kakashi was now completely confused to all this, first he had a Hyuga, then he had an Uchiha. "What's next? An Senju?" He thought in a joking manner.
Hiruzen chuckled some more as he witnessed the confused expression. "Open the file and see who is the last genin assigned to you." He then ordered. "He will either be very surprised or even more nervous as a result." He thought as he then gained a serious expression.
"Hai hai. . ." Kakashi then sighed out as decided to simply opened the file and see the last member. Upon turning the file, Kakashi's single eye widen when he saw a very familiar blond hair that reminded him of someone he had once considered his second father. "Hokage-sama, you can't be serious!? Him!?" He asked with conflicted emotions running through him.
A small sigh escaped Hiruzen's lips. "Well it was the latter. . ." He thought to himself.
"I can't!" Kakashi then responded as his eye was beginning to dialect from the panic attack he was feeling. "Hokage-sama, please. . .I can take the Hyuga and Uchiha, but. . .I can't take him. . ." He begged with panic and uncontrollable sadness filling his very soul.
Hiruzen looked at the panicking jonin with a serious expression. "Even though the boy has had some recent developments, he was still the student with the lowest grade when he passed. The other teams are already set, only your squad remains. . .though they may had originally be as the previous teams that gone through the same test, you yourself hold dear, as such they still need the best sensei the can get to make them achieve the save greatness all the past teams had accomplish." He explained. "And you already know why exactly I placed him with you." He added.
". . .You mean because of Sensei. . ." Kakashi then stated. "You're doing it because of that reason. . ." He deducted.
"That. . ." Hiruzen began to say as he closed his eyes for a moment and then open them. "And because you need this as well, to move on. . ." He concluded with compassionate and sympathetic filled eyes.
If Kakashi would be honest with himself, if he had say 'no' he was sure that his leader wouldn't hold it against it. "But. . .It will be the same as before Gai helped me. . ." He thought to himself. Then after a long silent period, Kakashi let out a long deep sigh. "Very well. . .I'll take him too." He finally decided, this made Hiruzen smiled with relief. "But. . ." He then added.
This made Hiruzen raised an eyebrow. "But what?" He asked.
Kakashi eye smiled to that. "He still has to pass the test." He said.
Hiruzen only chuckle to that. "Then I have nothing to worry about. You know his personality is like her's. . ." He then got out as an image of a beautiful red hair woman appeared in his mind. "You should had heard of the things she's done when she was younger and aside from hair and eyes, Naruto is the spitting image of her." He added.
"Yes, yes I have." Kakashi replied as images of a yellow hair man and the same red hair woman, alongside three young shinobis were eating a picnic together.
Kai!
Kakashi sighed once more at everything that happened and all hidden emotion had been unlocked from his heart, as he then took out the same small orange book that had an all too familiar title of Icha Icha Chronicles on it that any pervert would know. "Now I can get back to my reading. . ." He then added as he made a smokeless Shushin and disappeared.
Meanwhile at the Hokage tower. . .
The three ANBU soon brought Naruto and Sasuke to the front door of the Hokage's office via Shushin.
"We are here, get in you two." The Hawk ANBU said as the Grasshopper Anbu when to opened the door.
Naruto had to gulp as he still was feeling a little angry at the old man for keeping the Kyūbi a secret from him. "Alright. . ." He manage to got out, as he awkwardly began to enter the office with Sasuke right behind him.
As the two genin went inside, Grasshopper closed door behind them as they remained outside to make sure no one would interrupt them. "What's this about?" Satsuki thought as she did a mental gulp. Sasuke then sensed some chakra being applied to the room around them. "What are these?" Satsuki then added to her thoughts while Sasuke kept the stoic expression. What are those seals?" He then asked the Hokage.
"Oh, do not worry this are just seals to make sure no one on the outside can listen in." Hiruzen explain.
Naruto meanwhile looked forward, eyes closed as he sniffed the air as he smelled something 'off' about the office. Most of it had the Hokage's scent on it as most of the furniture had his scent, however there were three faint but clearly foreign scents in the room as well. "Hey fox, you sense this?" He asked his tenant telepathically.
The Kyūbi who was laying lazily on top of his hand-like paws nodded in response to this. "Yeah, three to four listening seals. The old monkey was right about the seals keeping anyone from hearing from the outside, but it looks like someone found the loophole and began to listen from the inside for quite a while now." He explained with detail. "Just apply a little of my chakra to enhance a roar and it'll destroy them easily." He then ordered.
This made Naruto chuckle as this could be use as a good way as a pay back to the old man. "Good thing I brought those earplugs for me in case I needed them." He said with his prankster like grin he was infamous for.
The Kyūbi couldn't help but sweatdropped to that. "Why did you have those in the first place?" He then questioned with an honest curious tone.
Naruto could only narrow his eyes as if saying 'are you kidding me?'. "Wouldn't you like to have a pair if you had to be in the same area as Haruno?" He stated with a deadpan tone.
This made the Kyūbi think for a moment as he then sweatdropped again. "Point taken kit." He admitting stated to Naruto via mind-link. "I'm actually somewhat glad you got over her, it was a pain in the ass for my chakra being used to heal the punches she gave ya." He admitted
Now it was Naruto's turn to sweatdrop. "Thanks. . .I think. . ." He said to the Bijū as he refocused on the Hokage. "Hey old man." He called out to him.
"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun," Hiruzen Sarutobi then showed them two seats in front of them. "Please, sit down. I have something I must discuss with you." He then requested.
"Ok. . ." Sasuke said as he headed for his seat when. . .
"Hold on!" Naruto softly called out, getting the two's attention.
The Hokage raised his eyebrows as he looked at the blond genin. "What is it Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked as placed his hands behind his back.
Naruto was about to do as the Kyūbi had told him and do the prank as well but. . . "I can't do it. . ." He thought to himself, because deep down he just couldn't do it the old man that was his granfather figure, so went up to him and gave him some earplugs. "Here, put these on." He whispered lowly as he then turned to Sasuke and handed him some as well. "You too, don't ask why. I'll signal when you can take them out." He then ordered.
Hiruzen would had question this, but seeing the serious tone in his voice, he placed them in his ears while Sasuke simply trusted Naruto so he simply did so as well, then Naruto place them too. Just as he did so, Naruto rubbed his neck. "This is going to be a pain in my throat dattebayo. . ." He thought to himself as then he began to gather a very small amount of the Kyūbi's chakra and sent it to his throat, this quickly alarm the Hokage but he saw that Naruto was look away from both him and Sasuke so he realized what the blond genin was about to do as the two then cover their ears for further safety.
Naruto took a deep breath and let out a high pitch scream towards the listening seals were located at and they instantly were destroyed by being exposed to the Bijū's chakra.
In an unknown place, three people that were listening in became deaf by being exposed to the high pitch scream.
While the while this was happening, an age man frowned at the sight at the bleeding ear men.
Once Naruto saw that the deed was done, he made a motion to his ears that meant that the old man and Sasuke could take the plugs out.
"Naruto-kun, what just happened? What was it that you just did?" The old man asked, taking the plugs out of his ears.
"What's burning?" Sasuke asked as 'he' did the same.
As they both ask, they finally noticed the smell of paper burning.
"What's that?" Sasuke then asked.
Naruto then took off his ear plugs out and placed them back into his pocket while he rubbed his throat with his free hand. "Knew it. . ." He groaned to himself. He then walked over to one side of the room and picked up a half burning piece of paper and handed it to the Hokage. "What do you think these are Old man?" Naruto asked, not wanting to give away that he knew what they already were.
The Hokage stood up and walked around the desk and took the paper, then he began to studied it carefully before his eyes widen in realization. "Why, these are listening seals. That would mean. . ." He got out with a surprise tone before narrowing them.
Seeing that the old man finally realized, Naruto nodded. "Someone has been spying on ya old man, probably for a while if I had to guess. My throat may be killing me right now, but now your office is bug free." He commented with a serious tone as the two looked at his wide-eyed grandfather figure and his possible future teammate.
Naruto couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "Unfortunately for the eavesdroppers however, they now have severe eardrum ruptures." He commented with a shit eating grin. "You might want to be on the lookout for the next few days for any Shinobi that are taking sick leave due to ear problems or symptoms of ear problems. Now I believe you wanted to talk to us about something?" He concluded with a carefree tone and still grining.
"Wow! That was pretty cool Naruto-kun." Satsuki thought to herself, amazed by what he just accomplished, but still wondered how he did it. "How did you-" Sasuke started but was interrupted.
"I believe I already told you about my heightened sense of smell, remember teme?" Naruto began as there was a teasing tone in his voice. "I was able to smell something foreign in the room. I just didn't know they were seals, as far as I could tell there were about three or four of them so I just let out one of my new jutsus towards the directions of the sense. That's all." He bluntly explained. "Sorry Satsuki-chan, but we still have to act like enemies. . ." He thought.
"Act? More like your role-playing with each other in public. Didn't know you two were into that sort of play, kinky." The Kyūbi teased as he made Naruto blush with both embarrassment and anger. "It's only a matter of time before you become whipped by this girl like you were with the pink haired banshee. . ." He soon add while rolling his eyes.
"SHUT IT!" Naruto made his comeback, only for the Bijū to chuckle once more.
Sasuke however only huffed in dismissal as Satsuki was annoyed by the blunt explanation since she also saw that Naruto was teasing her as well that she completely missed said blond blushing. "Your getting it after this Naruto-kun! It's not my fault that I can't remember everything with what just happened!" She shouted in her mind, but couldn't find herself to hold a grudge against him.
Hiruzen was to distracted by the seals on his hands that he too didn't saw the blush, then when he was finished he turned around as he tried to remain as calm and collected as he could. "Thank you for that Naruto-kun, who knows who could've been spying on us." He said as on the inside he was furious at this discovery. "Danzō. . .you and your Root members were probably one of them." He thought with anger as he cleared his throat.
Then Hiruzen looked around the office before doing a quick anti-listening jutsu to make sure that there was no other possible way for eavesdroppers to listen in this time. "Moving on, I'm sure you're wondering why I had the both of you to come here, correct?" The Hokage then questioned to the two as the two fresh genin nodded in agreement before he got up from his seat and went over to Sasuke. He then placed a finger on the last Uchiha and made a hand sign with the other. "KAI!" He declared and suddenly a puff of smoke surrounded Sasuke, removing his transformation, revealing Satsuki in her place.
Satsuki coughed from the sudden smoke as she still was trying to act the boy appearance. "What was that?" She asked in a deep voice before she then looked at the smiling Hokage and then turn to the shock Naruto, this made her looked down to see that her transformation was released, it took only a moment for her brain to processed this. "KYA!" She then let out a piercing scream, not that it was able to be heard from outside the office.
"Shit!" Naruto cursed as he soon dashed in front of Satsuki and stood in between her and Satsuki in a protective way. "Shit shit shit shit!" He continued to curse in his mind.
"Wha-wha- how- why!?" Satsuki stuttered in a full blown panic, scared out of her mind. Then tears slowly began running down her cheeks as she hid behind Naruto, gripping tightly onto his jacket for dear life as the fear of what could happen made any possible thought process halt indefinitely. "This can't be happening! W-Why did this happen!?" She thought in complete fear.
Naruto then glared at Sarutobi. "Alright old man, what's this about!?" He then questioned.
Hiruzen smiled fondly at the two. "That look reminds me so much of them. . ." He thought with great nostalgia as a couple he had cherished, the same intense eyes as blond man that would fight to the death for those he cherish and the same rage filled look red haired woman used to have went she would beat someone to death. He then continued to look on as Naruto was protecting the Uchiha Heiress"It's alright Satsuki-chan, I won't hurt you. You can stay calm for the time being." He said with a kind smile.
At the saying of said girl's name, Naruto's jaw dropped at the old man saying it. "No way. . . but. . .you mean that!?" He started.
"So that's it. . ." The Kyūbi remarked with a scuffed as he had already figured what was going on. "Shinobis. . .they always hide things. . ." He added with an annoyed tone.
Upon hearing this, Satsuki finally recovered from her terror filled moment, as she separated herself from Naruto, but her hand didn't let go of his jacket and looked above his shoulder. "But how. . .when did you-!?" She barely got out in utter confusion as she also felt dizzy from this situation.
Hiruzen then went over to the poor girl that wa still hiding behind Naruto and placed a hand on the girl's head, he couldn't help but chuckle a little at the girl's confusion. "Since the very beginning." He responded, seeing the confused and startle expression on her face before he continued. "Since you usually pretend being a boy even back when you first enter the academy, and since all of the Uchiha's kept to themselves, no one really knew who was Satsuki so that it really made things easy for this farce." He then explain in detail.
When Satsuki heard that, she finally loosen her grip on Naruto's jacket, but she still held it with her index finger and thumb. "S-So why didn't you just said something?" She then asked with a slight fear in her tone.
This made the old man to sigh with sadness. "I knew that you had heard about the CRA act and became terrified that you would basically become as you quoted, 'a baby vending machine', so I made sure discreetly changed the official records and made that Sasuke had actually was a real person, to protect yourself." He calmly explain then got down to the girl and placed a hand on her head. "Do not worry, not only me, but the Shinobi Council is also against you being on the CRA." He then revealed.
Satsuki gasped as tears soon started to come out of her eyes. "Even the Shinobi Council?! T-They knew all along!?" She got out.
The Hokage nodded with a smile, but it then quickly was replaced by a frown of annoyance and frustration. "Unfortunately at the moment, the Civilian Council has recently gained more power by the use of money of all trade that was done since the end of the shinobi wars, this caused them to gain more power in the village." He explained in a slightly annoyed tone, then his eyes narrow with conviction. "But I'm still the Hokage and I'll try my best to keep them in their place. You have my word Satsuki Uchiha as you are like a granddaughter to me as Naruto is like a grandson to me." He declared with a soft yet reassuring tone.
This made Satsuki held even tight onto Naruto, all this new information affecting her greatly. "R-Really?!" She stuttered in disbelief as more tear flowed out. She soon started to openly cry into Naruto as he comforted her while Hiruzen watched, happy to see Satsuki full of emotions.
"Jeez, what's with all these sappy moments. . ." The Kyūbi grumbled from within the seal. Then when he felt Naruto's cheek turning red, he saw that Naruto was getting a full feel of Satsuki's little girls. "Now that's what I'm talking about!" He added with a perverted grin.
"S-SHUT IT!" Naruto replied as he desperately tried to control himself. Even with the deep blush on his face Naruto kept rubbing Satsuki's back to comfort her with a small smile on his face.
At the Hyuga Household. . .
After a few minutes of walking, Hinata finally made it back to the Hyuga estate, she began to walk through the corridors of her home as she began searching for her father. As she was walking down the hall she met up with one of the more friendlier branch members.
"Good evening Hinata-sama." The female branch member greeted politely as she bowed to her as a show of respect.
Hinata bowed back with the same amount of respect. "As to you, Hitomi-san." She greeted back as she soon walked passed her, after another moment or two she finally managed to reached the family dojo. Once Hinata had open the slide door she saw her father training her younger sister Hanabi. "U-Um. . .I have return father." She meekly got told him.
Her father Hiashi, looked at her before turning back to the panting Hanabi. "We're done for the night. I need to speak with your sister." He ordered with a strict tone in his voice.
Hanabi continued to pant for another moment as she then nodded. "As you wish father." She replied as she gave her father a low bow and headed towards the exit. Once she reached it, she didn't so much as look at Hinata as she then left, but kept a watchful eye on the her father and older sister entered the main building.
At the clan leader's office. . .
Both the father and the daughter sat down as there was a brief moment of silence until it was broken by Hiashi. "So. . .you met your two teammates and your sensei. Tell me the details of them." He then ordered Hinata.
Hinata nodded slowly to that. "Y-Yes father. B-Besides me, m-my teammates are Naruto-ku- I mean Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. While our sensei is a man named Kakashi Hatake. Tomorrow, we were told that Kakashi-sensei will be giving us a final test." She reported with much nervousness in her tone.
Hiashi closed his eyes and began to think of what his eldest daughter had told him, then he gave a firm nod. "Very well, you can go now." He dismissed her.
Hinata nodded as she stood up. "A-As you wish father." She replied while she bowed to him and left his office.
Once Hiashi was fully alone, he activated a silence seal around his office. "So, Naruto Uzumaki. . .the known prankster and the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Kitsune." He started in a mutter as he placed a hand on his chin.
"I don't have anything against the boy except the times he paint bombed our estate." Hiashi commented as he remember that day his home was literally painted pale green before sighing. "The elders were swearing up a storm about how they couldn't get the green paint out of their hair. If it wasn't for the fact that the boy has the Hokage's protection and because of his status as a Jinchūriki, they would had probably ask for his death for such a thing." He then added with a small smile on his face, if he was being honest to himself it had a kicked out off seeing the elders pissed off.
Then he began to recalled her eldest daughter. "I think he might do Hinata some good in her confidence issues, since she has a crush on him." He thought as he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Then there is Sasuke, or should I say Satsuki Uchiha. She can be a mystery since most of the village doesn't really know she even exists." He began to contemplate about the Uchiha. "While it is true that the Uchiha and Hyuga have had a long rivalry with each other, I can tell that the two of them might possibly become close friends if Hinata ever learns the truth about Satsuki and if she is anything like Mikoto-san in my youth, they will get along just fine." He commented as she then started to stroke his chin.
"Finally, there is Kakashi Hatake. He should be a decent teacher to the three, except the facts about him still mourning over his sensei and his friends deaths and him constantly being late to everything. That and he reads smut in public." Hiashi began to recall everything he knew of the silver haired Jonin as he then sighed. "I'll have to talk to him later and make sure he doesn't corrupt my daughter. . .or the other two for that matter." He decided with narrow eyes.
At the corridors of the Hyuga Compound. . .
Hinata had finally arrived to her own room. Then once inside, she began to changed into her pajamas and went into her bed, once on it she reached below her pillow and pulled out a chibi Naruto plushie that she had made herself as she began to cuddling it tightly and blushed with a pretty pink color.
As Hinata was laid down on her bed, her eyes also caught the sight a red object on a basket that was on top of her desk. "Someday. . ." She thought to herself as memories of a snowy day came to her mind and a smiled adored her face.
Thinking of her crush made her remembered the advice Naruto and Sasuke had gave her. "Eat breakfast tomorrow and arrive later then he said." She repeated, now it wasn't in her person to do the opposite of what a higher rank person told her to do, but she also saw that the reasons the two had given her made sense, so she nodded as she decided to do what they told her, then she began to slowly close her eyes and fell to sleep. "I wonder what Naruto-kun is doing right now?" She was her lasts thoughts as she entered the land of dreams where a small blond haired boy was in them.
Back with the Hokage. . .
Naruto was still letting the Uchiha Heiress have a firm hold onto him, she had just finished crying with all of her fear and sadness before Naruto lead her to the chairs the was in front of the Hokage's desk. Once Satsuki had sat down, her eyes were now red and puffy as her voice was slightly raspy and sore from all the crying she did before she began hiccuping.
"Hey Old man," Naruto started with a deep and serious tone as he held the female Uchiha close to him. "Why the hell didn't you just tell Satsuki-chan that you knew about her before all this?" He soon asked with narrow eyes.
This Hiruzen sighed as he knew that this question was coming, he then sat down in his desk and tilted his hat down a bit. "Me and the Shinobi Council decided to let Satsuki-chan do as she pleased, we all had decided to tell her about this fact when she had become a genin, this is the reason why I had called her today." He explained before taking a deep breath, "Now. . .for the reason I called you specifically. . ." He began with a slow tone as he knew this part was going to be difficult.
"Oh yeah," Naruto began. "Why did you called me? If this is about Satsuki-chan's secret was already known, then what did you want me here for?" He then asked as he tilt his head.
Satsuki continued hiccuping as she sat in her seat. "N-Naruto-kun. . ." She barely got out between whimpers as she was worried about her new and only friend while looking at him with bloodshot eyes.
Hiruzen knew that this will probably will either destroy Naruto's way he thought of him or hate him entirely. "Regardless, I have to. . .No, I must to tell him. . ." He thought to himself. "There is another secret that I'm gonna reveal and it goes alongside the first secret you had discovered. As such is related to you Naruto-kun." He then stated.
Naruto's eyes widen as he knew what was the first secret. "There's more?" He got out.
"Eh?" Satsuki then got out as she tilted her head in confusion. "F-First secret?" She asked.
Hiruzen nodded with a serious expression. "Yes there is, However what I'm about to tell and what you're about have learned can not be repeated outside this office, understand?" He then advised in a serious tone.
Satsuki had finally recovered from her episode as she could feel the intense pressure that this conversation was giving. "How big is this secret? Is it bigger then me being a girl?" She then thought, wanting to learn more about her blond haired friend as she looked at him. "He. . .He deserves better than the way those jerky villagers treated him. . ." She added in her mind.
Naruto had stay silent for a few moments as he began to seriously think of what the Hokage had just said, then another moment he simply nodded. "Ok Old Man, what this secret that involve the other thing?" He then asked, curious about why he was brought to his office.
"Oi! I resent being called a thing!" Kyūbi remarked
"I can just say Kyūbi in front of Satsuki-chan ero-fox!" Naruto retorted.
The Kyūbi huffed to that. "Well your going to have to tell her and possibly the Hyuga sooner or later." He then declared as he said nothing more.
Naruto gave a mental sigh to that as he knew that he has to tell both of them if he really will considered them true friends. "I know. . ." He responded.
Hiruzen nodded in approval as he knew Naruto was a boy of his word and wouldn't break a promise. Soon, the elderly Hokage reached into his desk compartment and pulled out what looked like a file. "This particular secret was originally supposed be revealed to you either your 18th birthday, when you made Chunin rank or you became strong enough to protect yourself from any adversity that you may face." He soon pull out a folded up piece of paper from the file.
This caused Naruto raised an eyebrow to that in confusion. "Is that so, but why?" He then asked with both suspicion and distrust. He hated to feel like this but the old man did hurt him a lot when he kept the Kyūbi secret for all his young life.
In response to the negative emotions, Satsuki went and held the boy's hand. "Naruto-kun, please calm down." She meekly requested.
Upon hearing the plea from his first true friend, Naruto turned to her and seeing her sad and worry eyes made Naruto halt all of his negative feelings he was having as he gave a small kind smile as he nodded to her. "Alright Satsuki-chan. . ." He mumbled out.
When Hiruzen had heard the plain distrust on his grandson figure, it made him feel like he was struck by a kunai, but he then recovered when he saw the smile the young blond gave to the young girl. "Looks like the two are really is a positive influence for each other." He thought with relief tone. But his face turn very serious as he knew it was now or never to reveal this SS rank secret to the only person who had even more right to know then himself. "The reason being is that. . ." He began to say as he then handed Naruto the piece of paper. "If Kumo or worst yet, Iwa ever found out that the man in this picture had a son, they would used every ounce of their power to go after his head.: He declared as he could feel both fear and shame for failing both Naruto and his father. "Now. . .Unfold the paper and learn the truth Naruto." He then ordered with a heavy heart.
When the Hokage ordered this, the atmosphere was so heavy that any lesser man would had suffocated from it. After all why wouldn't it? He just said that this paper had the something that Naruto had always wanted to know ever since he could remembered. . .something that he would at one time would had done or give anything to know. . .the identity of his family. . .
Naruto could only stare at the file as he was still unsure whether to open it or not, but Naruto wasn't the type of guy to ever back down to anything and much less to something he can finally know his family or at the very least find closure, so with a gulped he nodded as he gather his resolve, his hand began to slowly reach out to the envelop, but just when he was about to reach it. . .
"Wait a minute!" Satsuki suddenly interrupted, the sudden scream nearly made Naruto have a heart attack and fell to the ground face first completely destroying the intense atmosphere as she gained the agonizing blond and their leader's attention. "Um. . .before Naruto-kun learns whatever this truth is. . ." She began as she was now feeling very meek for now being the center of the attention. "And I'm sorry for interrupting, but there's something I want to asked, no more like I would like to request." She then asked with a small blush on her face.
Hiruzen at first was confused by the sudden interruption, but he couldn't help but chuckle at the agonizing blond on her floor and if he could hear inside of Naruto's mind he would had heard the roaring laughter of the Bijū and the boy shouting at said fox. "What is it dear?" He asked with a calm and grandfather like tone, although he felt that he knew what was coming.
Satsuki's blush didn't leave her face as she stuttered out the words. "C-Can N-Naruto-kun. . .-" She began to say as she whisper the rest with her head being completely red.
"What was that dear?" Hiruzen asked, though thanks to his advance hearing he had heard it and was now playing along. "Could you repeat that?" He then asked her with a fake tone of confusion.
Still feeling embarrassed, the Uchiha Heiress then started shivering until. . .
"C-CAN NARUTO-KUN MOVE IN WITH ME!?" Satsuki then loudly asked as she tightly shut her eyes, awaiting the upcoming answer.
Naruto's eyes widen and stood up in a hurry. "WHAT!?" He shouted, but because of this he hit the desk with high velocity, leaving him kissing the floor again.
Hiruzen lightly laughed at his, as his prediction being correct as he watched Naruto finally recover and had a look of disbelief on his face over what Satsuki just asked. "S-Satsuki-chan, are you sure?" He then asked. "I mean it's only been a day since I found out." He soon reminded. "And I do like you like a friend, but-" He admitted with a small blush.
Satsuki's face could now rival to a certain little shy Hyuga as she now realized what Naruto thought she just asked. " N-N-N-N-N-NO! Not like that Naruto-kun!" She shouted with much embarrassment as she looked at the blond. "I-I meant him moving into my apartment with me as a roommate!" She then explained.
Meanwhile in the seal, the Kyūbi was laughing up a storm at the completely outrageous situation. "BWAHAHAHAHA! OH KAMI THIS SO HILARIOUS!" He roared with uncontrollable laughter.
Naruto then finally calmed down as he then figured out what Satsuki meant by this. "Oh. . .but is this what you really want?" He then asked again.
Satsuki nodded positively as she closed her eyes again in embarrassment. "Y-Yes." She responded.
Naruto could only watch as he could immediately see that the girl was serious. "But why?" He then asked as he couldn't see the reason why she would do this, now by no means he was bothered by this, in fact he was very happy that someone would share their home with him, especially if it was from his first friend ever. "I mean it just that I'm no one special, just a guy who's trying to make it as the Hokage against a village that all around hates me for my tenant that's in me." He started as eh completely let the secret out in a moment of of confusion.
"Wait what? Tenant? What are you talking about Naruto-kun? " Satsuki asked in confusion. "I want you to move in with me because both you and I were alone." She then said with sad tone. "True. . .I know this is a bit selfish of me to asked like this, but I just didn't want to be alone anymore." She then explained as she reopened her eyes.
"Satsuki-chan. . ." Naruto got out as he could feel the same loneliness he has always felt from his friend.
Sarutobi palmed his face, knowing that the Uzumaki just practically revealed the truth about the Kyūbi. "Naruto, please open the paper now." He the ordered.
At the voice of both their grandfather figure, the two genin turned towards him. "Jii-san, who are they?" Naruto then asked.
Satsuki then nodded in agreement to this. "I know it may had nothing to do with me. . .but I'd like to know too and why those this has to do with this tenant." She then requested as she then couldn't help but smile. "Jii-san." She then added.
Hiruzen only laugh a bit as he didn't felt the least bit offended as he actually like being called like that. But that feeling didn't last as his face return being serious. "Because Satsuki-chan. . .the question about the tenant and the the identity of Naruto-kun's parents are both intertwined with each other." He then declared with a serious tone.
And with that, the atmosphere returned to the same intensity as before. Naruto gulped as the same feeling as before also returned as he looked at the unvelop, but somehow he felt that the he could somehow deal with whatever he was about to learn, when he open it he took out a folded paper, then he slowly began to unfolding it.
In the seal, the Kyūbi looked on intently. "So he's finally being revealed." He started.
"Who?" Naruto asked in his head as he finished unfolding to see. . .
". . .Your father. . .and your mother. . ." Kyūbi said with a sympathetic tone as Naruto finally got a look at the picture.
The picture was of a tall, blonde haired man and cerulean blue eyes, sitting besides him was a the most beautiful red haired woman with a bulging stomach.
Satsuki looked at the photo and recognized the man with a gasp. "Naruto-kun. . .that's. . ." She got out as he eyes widen in pure shock as she instantly recognise the man. "No. . .way. . .Naruto-kun's dad is. . ." She thought in disbelief.
The Hokage then looked away with shame from the two as heard Naruto began to cry many tears. "Yes Naruto. . .it's true about who you are, you are the son of our Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze." Hiruzen started with his reveal, at this Satsuki gasped as Naruto face was covered by his front hair. "The same man who sacrificed himself to save you and the entire Leaf Village from the Kyūbi. . .by sealing it inside his own son." He then concluded.
Satsuki was truly baffled and stupefied by learning this while Naruto remained quiet. Then after a moment Satsuki finally manage to get a hold of herself. "So. . . Naruto-kun has the Kyūbi sealed in him?" She asked as the Hokage nodded. "And that's reason why majority of the villagers and Civilian Council hate him?" She then added as the elderly man nodded, feeling even more shame. "But that's. . ." She got out as she began to feel an uncontrollable fury building inside of her, she began to balled her hands into fists in anger. "BUT THAT'S SO STUPID! THEY THINK HE'S THE KYŪBI JUST THEY CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT THAT IT'S SEALED IN HIM AND HE'S THE PRISON FOR IT! HE SHOULD'VE BEEN TREATED AS A HERO NOT A SCAPEGOAT TO BE KILLED! NOT TO BE ABUSED AS A SICK TWISTED WAY OF REVENGE!" She soon yelled her declaration.
Hiruzen looked down in shame. "I understand that you're upset, but the Fourth had his reasons." He began to say, but before Satsuki could shout some more, the Hokage raised his hand as a sign to wait. "Do you think he would have it in him to ask another family's child to be used to seal the Kyūbi and suffered such a fate just to be selfship and spare his own?" The Hokage then asked, Satsuki wanted to countered that, but the moment she opened her mouth, she could say nothing as she realized he was right.
"I can confirm one thing Naruto-kun and that is that your parents loved you. They love you more than anything in this world, I don't know the exact reason for what happened at that night the Kyūbi was released, but I do know they wouldn't had done this he they didn't have complete faith that you would use its power for the better." The Hokage declared with completely confidence.
". . ." Inside of the seal, the Kyūbi said nothing as he had nothing to say to this until the time was right.
Naruto's face was still covered by his hair but his eyes were still locked to the picture as he finally realizing the resemblance between himself and the Fourth. He then dried the tears before he then started to chuckle sadly. "I can't believe this. It's my dream to be Hokage and to surpassed all the others, who would had thought that it turns out that my own dad was a Hokage.. . .The Fourth Hokage, the man I looked up to as my hero and the man I wanted to be like." He commented.
Satsuki could only watch at his first and true friend with a concern look. "Naruto-kun, will you alright?" She asked as she hugged him from behind, pressing her chest into his back.
Had it been any other occasion, Naruto would had normally reacted to that, but right now his mind was complete focus on the photograph. As more tears started to flow out of his eyes, then he took a deep breath as he gave a deep and heavy sigh, once he did so, he slowly started raised his head and a smile began to erupt on his face. "Yeah. . .I'll be alright." He said with a low tone, but then he turn and look straight at Satsuki. "I'm both surprised and really happy that you defended me." He commented with a brighter tone. "I know that most would had given up completely on me after learning about the whole Kyūbi being sealed inside of me." He added with much happiness in his tone as he gave one of his true smiles.
Satsuki then giggled a little, glad to see her friend being happy again. "Just because you got some stupid fox demon sealed inside of you, doesn't mean I'm gonna hate you. Naruto-kun is just Naruto-kun, nothing more, nothing less." She explained.
"Oh screw you too Uchiha!" Said demon fox responded in fury as he felt insulted, but wasn't heard.
Naruto could only chuckle a little at that. "Thanks Satsuki-chan. And I'm sure he is pretty stupid, huh?" He said with gratitude as he began to chuckle some more and was followed by Satsuki's giggling.
"If I was out of this damned seal, I'd kicked all of your sorry asses!" The Kyūbi roared his declaration.
Hiruzen looked at this scene with a smiled filled of both happiness and relief. "I knew it was the right thing to reveal it with Satsuki-chan present. . .Naruto wouldn' had been able to handle the truth without someone close to him that haven't lied to him for years. . ." He thought as his tone was mix with both happiness and sadness.
However, as much as Hiruzen would like to continue watching at these scene, he had to regain their attention by doing a fake cough. "I believe we should resume our discussion." He then suggested.
Naruto was a bit conflicted at this as he really was still had mix feelings, but he decided to just let this go for now or risk saying or doing something he would definitely regret later. Then the blond's sense's finally realized that Satsuki was placing her breast against his back, this caused him to blushed like mad and when Satsuki saw this, she too did the same after realizing exactly what she was doing as she quickly separating herself from him as he was on fire and both when back and sat back in their chair with both still blushing.
Hiruzen couldn't help but chuckle at this, but his face quickly return being serious. "Moving on. . .Naruto-kun, Satsuki-chan. I hope you two can understand about why kept these secrets from you. . .even if I thought it was for the best at the time, i still made both of you feel like you were always alone and for that I deeply apologize for it." He then sadly stated with a lowered head in shame.
"Before I can answer you Old man." Naruto began, gaining the Hokage's attention. "What. . .what was my Mom like?" He then asked with a bit of hesitation.
This made the age man to close his eyes and smile in a very nostalgic way. "Your mother. . .was one hell of a Kunoichi. . .and Mikoto's best friend."
Satsuki's eyes widen to that. "My mother was friends with Naruto-kun's mom?" She got out in shock.
Hiruzen nodded to that. "That is correct, but that will be explain on a later time." He replied, much to the Uchiha's annoyance and a pout. "More details will be revealed, but only when Team Seven is truly assembled." He explained with a cryptic tone. This made the two raise an eyebrow in confusion, but they nodded all the same. "Now to continue, your mother Naruto-kun was probably the most powerful kunoichi and the one who would most likely take the title of the strongest Kunoichi besides Tsunade if she had still been alive." He with both seriousness and admiration in his tone.
Satsuki then imagined it in her head as she then looked again at the photo of the red-haired woman. "Wow! She sounds amazing!" She admitted with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Umm. . .who's Tsunade?" Naruto asked with a confused tone.
This made Satsuki nearly fell to the ground since even she knew who said woman was.
"Later," Hiruzen bluntly stated. "Though you should've learned about that in the academy." He reminded.
"Na, I would had probably had either had skip the class or the teachers made sure not to tell me." Naruto replied without a care in the world.
That immediately caused the female Uchiha to growl in anger. "Why those fuckin'-" She started.
Hiruzen coughed loudly to stop her from finishing that. "Yes, I'll be sure to investigate that little matter. . .personally. Followed by two very trusted individuals." He replied with a sadistic tone as a purple haired woman and a bold scar man appeared in his mind.
Upon hearing that tone somehow made Satsuki knew that those so called teachers would really get what's coming to them. "Good riddance. . ." She mumbled.
"Now moving on," Hiruzen said. "I also had to know that Kushina was known for having an infamous violent temper that could put terror into her enemies just by being in her presence." He stated with a humorous tone.
"My mom did?" Naruto asked in confusion to this reveal.
This made the Hokage to chuckle to that. "Yes, so much that sometimes I was scared as well." He admitted half jokingly and half seriousness. "She was also known far and wide as the Bloody Habanero for all the blood she used to spill around her body." He then revealed.
This made Naruto sweatdrop with fear at his mother's description. "Now I know that Shikamaru was right about mothers having violent tempers and that he wasn't kidding. . ." He thought with terror.
Satsuki however was looking at the photo of Kushina with stars in her eyes. "Wow! And my mom was friends with her!" She thought in excitement.
Then Hiruzen face then turned serious once more as he stared intently at the two. "However what you should really know is this Naruto-kun. It is the source of your last name of being Uzumaki." He then revealed.
This caught Naruto's full attention. "My last name? I thought it was just something you just gave to me, you know because I was an orphan all my life." He said with a surprised tone.
The old man could only smile that was filled with only pride. "No Naruto-kun, the your last name was your mother's last name, but this name has much more meaning and power." He declared. "Kushina Uzumaki had come from the nearly extinct clan by the same last name, they were a very powerful clan that had higher chakra capacities than any shinobi from any nation, they had strong life forces that allowed them to fight for hours on end and they were skilled swordsmen as well." He explained. "But what they were really feared for was also why most wanted them dead." He then added.
"What was it?" Naruto asked as he had payed close attention to every single word the old man had said, wanting to know everything he could about his family.
Hiruzen couldn't help but give a sad smile, as he saw the desperate look on Naruto's eyes, it was as if a starving man wanting water. "All orphans would feel the same if they ever found out about their families. . ." He deduced with shame in his tone as he shouldn't had felt this if he had told him sooner. "But better late than never. . ." He added. "It was because they were seal masters." He then answered.
"Seal masters? What's so great about that?" Naruto asked with a confused tone.
"Naruto-kun, the Fourth Hokage was famous for his sealing skills." Satsuki reminded.
Hiruzen nodded in agreement. "That's right Naruto-kun, your both your mother and father were probably the most skilled seal masters in the village, your mother was a born seal master being born as an Uzumaki that were feared seal master users and you should also remembered it was your father that sealed the mighty Kyūbi inside you, that should give you a small understanding of just how powerful seals truly are." He explained.
This made Naruto's view on the sealing arts to completely change. "Wow. . .sealing must be an awesome skill then. . ." He got out with a baffled expression.
"And annoying. . ." The Kyūbi commented with a very annoyed expression as he looked at the cage he was in.
When Naruto heard that, he let out a chuckle. "Then I gotta learn that skill too dattebayo!" He then decided.
Hiruzen smiled with great pride. "In time Naruto-kun. It take both a massive amount of time to become skilled at using seal." He advised. "But I know you have what it takes to learn it." He added with total confidence in his tone.
"Right!" Naruto replied with conviction of one day learn seals.
Hiruzen then nodded at the conviction from the blond. "Now I know I had said this before, but I am truly sorry for not tell either of you all of this any sooner." He started. "Another fact would be if that the village learns the truth about you two, they would be in utter denial about it and turn away from the truth and stay within their own perfect little worlds. . ." He explained.
The two nodded simultaneously as they looked on. "Old man, I can honestly say that I am a bit mad at you." Naruto began as Hiruzen looked down in saddenes, seeing this Naruto gave a big yet kind smile. " But come on old man, it's not your fault. You were only doing what you thought was best. True it was hard on me to live like this but it's not right of me to blame you for all of it. You'll always be the same kind old man that looked out for me." He then explained as he place his hands behind his head and gave one of his true smiles.
Satsuki nodded in agreement with her first true friend. "Naruto-kun's right. You didn't know what would happen at the time but you still tried to protect Naruto-kun and me anyway you could. So it's alright Hokage-sama." She said with a smile as she gave a bow. "So thank you for taking care of us." She then added.
Sarutobi could only smiled with both sadness and happiness for the huge hearts the two young children had inside of their chests. "They're growing up right before my eyes. They are destine for greatness I and anyone else before them could ever hope to achieve. . ." He thought with much happiness. "Thank you, both of you for forgiving this old fool." He then said as he bowed to them.
Both Naruto and Satsuki could only grin happily at him as their response.
Then Hiruzen lifted his head and nodded. "However I must ask both you to keep the truth about your heritage a secret, at least for now Naruto-kun." He requested with a firm tone.
"Cause of Iwa, Kumo and the fact that the Civilian Council wouldn't believe it and will try to execute me?" Naruto bluntly asked with a sweat-drop.
Hiruzen nodded with annoyance. "Indeed. Also," He then turned to Satsuki. "For your request for Naruto-kun to move in with you I'll approve it, however you must keep it a secret." He then stated.
Satsuki blushed as she began to twiddle her fingers. "T-Thank you Hokage-sama. . ." She meekly got out.
Naruto meanwhile blushed knowing that he was going to be living with the female Uchiha. "Oh boy. . ." He thought.
The Kyūbi merely gave off a perverted chuckle to this. "Interesting, already moving in with a girl. . ." He stated. "Even if the girl's an Uchiha. . .it will make things interesting from now. . ." He then added as he then continued to chuckle perversely.
Naruto inwardly groaned to that, wanting to ignore his tenant before something else came to mind. "Wait, I have a question old man now that I've seen this picture of my dad." He suddenly said while he crossed his arms.
Hiruzen looked over at Naruto in confusion. "And what question is that Naruto-kun?" He asked.
"If my dad was famous and was loved by the entire village, why didn't anyone notice the resemblance between me and my own dad?" Naruto asked.
"That's true, why is that Hokage-sama?" Satsuki asked in agreement.
Hiruzen closed his eyes for a moment to gather his thoughts and once he did he reopen them. "I am not entirely sure myself, but the most probable cause for this is that they may had noticed on a subconscious level, but in their anger and hatred they probably were in denial at the possibility and felt it was better for them to treat you as the thing that killed the Fourth Hokage." He then answered the best possible reason.
"I see. . . .no offense old man but our village's people are really stupid or brain dead. . .and I mean really stupid." Naruto said bluntly.
Satsuki nodded in agreement. "I have to agree with Naruto-kun on that." She admitted with both annoyed and angry tone as she crossed her arms below her breasts. "I mean, Naruto-kun here is the only blond in the village besides some of the Yamanaka Clan members and only a brain dead would even think that he's related to them just for the hair alone." She then stated the obvious.
Hiruzen sweat dropped to that statement but still nodded in agreement. "Perhaps you two are correct." He then did a handsign causing the seals around the room to disappear. "This meeting is over you two. You can go now. Get some rest, your final test to be shinobis is tomorrow." He then ordered with a kind and grandfatherly tone as he began to work on his mountain size paperwork.
Satsuki made a hand sign and put her transformation back up. "Thank you Hokage-sama." Sasuke said as he bowed to him.
"Yeah! See ya later old man!" Naruto happily said as he left with his teammate. "Oh one other thing," He suddenly said as Hiruzen and Sasuke stopped and looked at him. Once all eyes were on him, he gave one of his infamous prankster smiles that was on borderline evil smile. "Why don't you just use Shadow Clones to do the paperwork for you?" He finished as he then grabbed Sasuke's hand and they both jumped out the window and headed for his apartment to get his stuff.
Hiruzen had a completely stupefied expression that he even forgot to breath, then once he recovered he took a deep breath.
In the distance, Naruto and Sasuke could then heard a large mass of swears from the Hokage, this made Naruto to laugh his ass off as Sasuke only smirked while on the inside, Satsuki was also joining Naruto in her mind at what happened. It was on that moment that Naruto had completely forgiven Hiruzen for everything, mainly because he was pretty sure now that he had suffered enough.
Later that night. . .
Naruto had arrived at Satsuki's apartment after he had took most or rather his only few things he had to his name in his backpack and the rest of his things in a box. As he knocked on the door, he was lost in thought. "Hard to believe that after just one single accident from last night, I've gained so much. . ." He commented with a small but happy smiled. "I finally made a friend, actually told off the girl I used to like and who I now hate, but above all. . .I finally learned who my parents were, learned about another girl that likes me and now I'm moving in with my first true friend." He listed off as images of what had happened just two days. "Amazing what life can throw at you huh?" He then asked.
"Got that right kit." The Kyūbi had to agree with that. "Still pissed at your dad for sealing me in you though." He then remarked as he was actually curious of what he thought about that.
Naruto's eye twitched to that last bit as he then narrowed them."Hey, you attacked the village not me you damn furball!" He then reminded.
The Kyūbi groaned to that as he palmed his face with his human shape paw. "Don't start. . ." He replied with both annoyance and anger in his tone, then he cut off the connection as he just watched on.
Soon the door opened and Sasuke appeared. "Dobe. . ." He said with a smirk.
"Teme. . ." Naruto said with his own grin as he entered the apartment. Then after closing the door behind him, Sasuke dropped the transformation while she gave a sigh of relief. "Satsuki-chan." He said then truly greeted with a smile.
Satsuki smiled happily back at the blond. "Naruto-kun." She greeted back. Then after a moment of silence, she then realized that a boy was now going to be living with her. "So um, I'm glad you're here." She awkwardly got out.
Naruto meanwhile also realized that was going to be living with his new female friend. "Uh, yeah. Same here. " He then got out as he scratched the back of his head, feeling the same way as her about these situation. "So um. . .you really are alright with me being here with you?" He then asked the same question again as he didn't want to make things uncomfortable for her.
Satsuki happily nodded in response to that. "Yup, you're my friend Naruto-kun and friends should always stick together." She explained as she then placed her hands behind her hips and tilted forward a bit. "And we both had suffered enough being alone." She added while she gave him a look that said that she understands what that pain felt like before she then turned and headed for the kitchen. "I'll make us a late dinner and then there's something we need to do." She soon advised.
Naruto gave her a confused look. "What's that?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow.
Satsuki smiled in response and gave a wink. "You'll see." She vaguely replied as she then readjust her back and headed to the kitchen and got her mother's apron on. "Oh, by the way, there is only one bedroom so you don't mind if we sleep in the same bed right? I really don't want you sleep on the floor Naruto-kun." She then requested as she got to work.
Naruto blushed dark red at the question. "I. . .um. . .sure, I don't mind." He answered with a flustered tone before he just nodded his head as he brought his stuff to Satsuki's room. "Is it okey if I leave some of my stuff in the room? I promise to not have them take too much space." He requested. Naruto saw that Satsuki was to busy with the food that she didn't even turn around to replied as she only nodded. So he took that as a yes and when to their soon to be room.
"So, how much do you want to bet that she's gonna sleep naked this time around?" The Kyūbi then asked in a perverse tone.
"SHUT UP!" Naruto retorted with a crimson red blush as he couldn't help but remembered when he really saw Satsuki as a girl for the first time and then after he finished his shower that morning.
The Kyūbi continued chuckle perversely once more to that. "Double Ds. . ." He then reminded. "Impressive for her age." He then admitted.
That was the last straw as Naruto gain a nosebleed and used his hand to desperately stop the blood. "DAMMIT ERO-FOX!" He roared in his mind.
Back with Satsuki, we can see that she was working on the food like normal, but her face was anything from normal as she was blushing and smiling as she was in a complete panic mode, clearly freaking out to this situation the two were in. "OH KAMI! I DEFINITELY DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH! I'M GONNA BE SHARING A BED WITH NARUTO-KUN NOW!" She exclaimed in a rapid pace in her head, though not exactly denying wanting to sleep with him, but her modesty stopped her from doing anything like that.
After Naruto had placed his few belongings on the furthest corner of their new room, Naruto returned back to the kitchen. "I'm back." He said.
At this sudden announcement, it nearly made Satsuki to jumped out of her skin from startelement. "Eep!" She squeaked out and nearly threw the food. She then turned around and tried to looked composed as possible. "Hi Naruto-kun! You sure came back quickly!" She tried to start a conversation as she giggled awkwardly, but it was plain to see the nervousness in her tone.
To this, Naruto chuckled awkwardly while he scratch the back of his head. "Yeah, there weren't that many things." He replied with the same nervousness.
Soon there was a long pause of silent as they then took a deep breath and then finally calmed down. "How about we eat now?" Satsuki soon offered with a much calmness then before. "I just finished preparing the food." She added.
In response, Naruto smiled happily to that. "Yeah! Thanks a lot! I'm starving!" He said with a grin.
Soon, the two friend, now teammates and roommate coth ate a quiet dinner with a content atmosphere, they would make small talk about simple things just have something to talk. The meal was both simple yet good as it wasn't the fire style training curry. This time it was some simple pork with rice and some vegetables.
When Naruto saw the vegetables, he had refused them at first but Satsuki gave him the infamous puppy dog eyes jutsu that got him to eat all his vegetables, much the the blonds grumbling and the giggling from the girl. As the two let their food go down, they then began to make more small talk and work on a strategy for tomorrow for whatever they had to do. Afterwards, the two then washed the dishes together and put them away.
"So what exactly did you want to do?" Naruto asked as he was curious at what Satsuki said earlier, something about needing to do something.
Satsuki smiled as she looked at him. "I want to see this sexy jutsu that was able to knock out Hokage-sama." She then answered with an unusual excited tone.
Upon hearing this however, Kyūbi soon smiled both perversely and widely at the request. "This should be good." He commented with perverted tone.
Naruto meanwhile almost choked on his own spit as he looked at her in disbelief. "Uh. . .How did you hear that?" He asked with an awkward look on his face.
Satsuki merely giggle to the response. "Remember? You declared that you did in Iruka-sensei's class." She explained with a smile. "He so cute at times." She unintentionally thought.
Naruto had to smack his hand on his forehead at that. "Right. . .I did say that didn't I?" He mumbled to himself. "But are you sure about that?" He then asked in sight confusion. "Most girls usually hate it when I use it and claim that I'm a pervert in the making." He admitted.
Satsuki sweat-dropped at that moment. "Am I like most girls? I've lived as a guy for a good chunk of my life." She commented with an obvious tone. "And besides I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't the least bit curious." She added.
Naruto couldn't respond to that seeing as how she basically proved him wrong.
Satsuki nodded in response to that as she proudly crossed her arms over her chest. "Exactly." She simple said with a smile. Then the two genin began to head towards Satsuki's room as she sat on the bed. "Alright Naruto-kun, show me the jutsu. I promise I won't do or say anything that will make you feel bad, promise." She then declared.
"Just do it kit," The Kyūbi remarked. "What's the worse that can happen?" He then added, thought had a smirk on his face.
"Alright then. . ." Naruto felt awkward as he gulped and made the handsign. "Transform!" He declared. Soon enough, a puff of smoke appeared and engulfed Naruto's entire body.
A moment soon passed before the smoke settled and now in Naruto's place was a very attractive, slightly tanned skinned and naked woman that was cover in smoke at certain areas. She had long straight blonde hair that were tied in two pigtails, a cute feminine face, whisker marks similar to Naruto's and a nice womanly body with double D breast and a perfect hourglass figure. "So, how is it? I call this form Naruko." Naruko introduced in a cutesy and feminine tone as she posed in a sexy position.
Satsuki soon started examining the form, getting every detail in different angles. "Hmm. . .not bad." She muttered as she stroked her chin while Naruko stayed perfectly still in the same pose. "Incredible figure, good size rack, attractive, huh impressive female form Naruko. I give a ten out of ten." She decided as she raised both hands to emphasis on the ten. "The only thing that didn't change were your whisker marks though." She added. "But it does make her look cute. . ." She thought with a cat like smile.
Naruko placed her hand on her chin in a thinking pose. "Yeah, that's the only downside, the civilians could recognize me easily because of these marks." She commented. Soon after a few moments, it suddenly clicks in her mind about what the female Uchiha said. "Wait, really?" She soon asked, tilting her head in confusion. "I thought for sure you'd hate it and say that I'm perverted or something like that." She admitted with honesty.
Satsuki sighed as she rubbed her forehead. "I did promise didn't I?" She reminded with a bit of annoyance in her voice. "And besides, those idiots just can't see the potential of a jutsu like this. Even if I have to admit, some guys are perverted, that itself can be an advantage to used against. I mean look at Jii-san, you said even he was affected by this technique." She then reminded.
"True." Naruko replied with a nod. "I guess it does have it's advantages." She agreed with her.
"And you made it up after watching a bunch of guys reading porn books." The Kyūbi then reminded. "That or going to the Red Light District by accident." He then added perversely.
"Not listening. . ." Naruto replied in his normal voice.
"Also," Satsuki began while Naruko was too distracted with her tenant that she didn't even saw that she had just disappeared and then reappeared behind her with a devilish smile on her face. "I've always wanted to try this!" She then happily exclaimed.
"Wait what?" He and the Kyūbi soon got out in confusion.
Naruko didn't get a chance to respond as Satsuki started playing with her 'breasts. She began to moan loudly in pleasure and this made Naruko to fall, but Satsuki managed to get them to land on the bed, with Naruko on the bottom and Satsuki on top of her. "S-Satsuki-chan! W-What are you-!?" She tried to ask, but her face was so red that she couldn't process the correct words.
On the inside, the Kyūbi gain a roaring nosebleed at seeing this. "OH SWEET KAMI LORD!" He exclaimed at the turn of events.
Satsuki playfully shushed the blonde as she continued. "Just a little fun. Thanks to Hinata-chan's display in class against Sakura, I think I became a bit bi-curious, that and like I said before, I've always wanted to try this!" She answered and continued playing with Naruko's breasts. "At least you made them feel real, really nice work." She admitted with a grin.
Naruko blushed a dark red in embarrassment with it spreading across her cheeks. "Holy shit! I can't believe this is happening!" Naruto thought with very confused and mix feelings.
"GOOD KAMI! THIS IS GREAT! GIRL ON GIRL ACTION AT IT'S FINEST MOMENT! Even if it's just the kit. THIS STILL MAKE BEING SEALED IN YOU WORTH IT NOW KIT!" Kyūbi roared out, laughing at his container's luck.
Satsuki then gave a playful smile and a flirty wink as she started removing her shirt as she reveal her binded chest. "You know, we can even take a bath together if you do this jutsu. It would feel like it's just another girl, I bet you always wanted to take a shower with another girl and your body will still get clean either way. Also, wouldn't it be fun if we helped wash each other Naruko-chan?" She seductively asked as she started removing the bandages.
Naruko's nose started to drip blood, not only at what Satsuki just said, but also at her taking the bandages off letting them fall onto the floor, giving Naruko full view of everything was that kept hidden away. "Oh man, any guy would kill for a moment like this!" Naruto thought in a panic as the pressure of Satsuki sitting on her and the pleasure she felt when Satsuki played with her breasts, overriding her senses.
"What the hell have I gotten myself into dattebayo!?" Naruto roared in his mind.
"WORTH IT!" The Kyūbi then exclaimed.
"WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP YOU PERVERTED FOX!" Naruto roared with much embarrassment.
"Well Naruko-chan, I must say that you really are beautiful." Satsuki then seductively admitted. "You got a killer figure that even I would want to have. . ." She added with with a grin. "And also such soft and silky skin! How in the world did you make a transformation like that!?" She soon asked.
"Um. . .p-practice?" Naruko replied with hesitation and embarrassment.
"Oh~? And how did you practice it~?" Satsuki replied with a seductive tone as she lean closer to her. "Mom. . ." She thought as she continued to look at Naruko's body, unaware that she then pressed her breast against Naruko's. "Your breasts are sooooo~ soft as well. . ." She added.
Naruko's head went and became even more red in confusion. "Uh. . .thanks?" She responded.
Kyūbi only smirked at that as his nose was a like a waterfall of blood. "Worth making them such firm and soft breasts, makes the transformation more real. . ." He declared.
Satsuki then kept scanning Naruko's body as she saw that she was a few inches taller than her. "Though all of that is understandable with the fact that you have such a womanly body in this form, did you make it like that on purpose~?" She soon asked with curiosity, but kept the seductiveness in her voice.
Naruto meanwhile was so confused right now as he could only baffle at how the Uchiha was acting.
After a couple of minutes of complementing, rubbing and touching, Satsuki soon started to yawn as she felt exhausted. "Tired. . ." She mumbled out, her eyes started to get droopy as she fell onto Naruko, her breasts on Naruko's. "Naruko-chan, can we just stay like this for the night?" She asked sleepily, but didn't get a reply as Naruko fainted from the fact that Satsuki was practically naked on top of her, still in sexy jutsu form possibly because of the Kyūbi giving a tiny bit of his chakra so that he could enjoy this as long as possible. Satsuki in her sleep like state started to hug and cuddle up to Naruko as they both slept. "Mmm. . .soft. . ." She sleep-talked, not realizing what she was saying as she rubbed her head in Naruko's big rack.
In the seal, the Kyūbi looked at the boy, newly transformed girl, in front of him, unconscious from the previous actions of the Uchiha Heiress. "Hmmm. . .interesting girl. . .a very interesting girl indeed." He got out as he then started to chuckle. "She'll keep me entertained for a while. . .she's indeed different from most members of her wretched clan. . .but I'll keep a close eye on her. . ." The fox demon then closed his eyes to sleep, unintentionally releasing chakra for Naruto's transformation to stay active through the night and made the transformation feel as if it was solid and real on the outside.
Elsewhere in Konoha. . .
Kakashi was in his apartment as he read over his Icha Icha Chronicles. But somehow he just couldn't concentrate on the words as his mind just kepted wondered and lose focus. He then placed down his book and when to the closest window in his apartment and lean forward as he looked at the sky.
And what or more precisely who is the one that trouble his thoughts you ask?
"Naruto. . ." Kakashi got out as he sighed. "His appearance may be just like Sensei's. . .while he has the same attitude as Kushina-san." He started. "But his dream. . ." He trailed off as a spiky black hair boy with orange goggles on his head appeared in his mind. "Is just like him. . ." He got out as an immense sadness filled him just by remembering him while he touched his covered right eye.
"It's like Naruto is the compilation of all the people I care about the most. . ." Kakashi declared as he lowered his head. "You've given me a real challenge this time Hokage-sama. . ." He muttered.
With said elderly man, her suddenly sneezed as he watched his shadow clones work on the paperwork. "Someone must be talking about me. . ." He grumbled as he watched his clones work. "KEEP WORKING!" He then roared his order, his voice in a demanding and furious tone. The the pent up fury for the work he had done was being released all at once.
Kakashi then sighed before he soon gave off a serious expression. "Naruto Uzumaki. . ." He repeated the name as an eye smile appeared. "Though you may be a combination of all the people I had cared about, I will not be going easy on you. . .so you better be prepared for anything." He soon stated.
