I'm really sorry for my bad English, I use a lot of translator to be able to do it, but since I've already started, I'm going to continue.

Although if you want to find this fanfic and use the page translator, it's quite easy to find, it's on ao3 and wattpad with the same name but in Spanish. :3

…

- What! -Naruto exclaims upon hearing the words of the Hokage who only sighs- why didn't you write to me?! -knowing that the exams were brought forward just in the week she returns...

Graduation these days is at age twelve and she would be turning twelve in October and was not expecting exams to be in June.

-I wrote to you, you never replied- Naruto growls at the memory that Albus wasn't at Hogwarts to receive the mail.

-I-I was busy! - Naruto says shaking his head to the side with a small pout, not telling the old man that he was helping save the school. - Damn . - Naruto takes a deep breath and tries to remember the classes he had before Hogwarts and the practice test they had done.

Well, she had the transformation and substitution jutsu… clones were going to kill her.

How was he going to make clones? His Chakra is so unstable and Naruto hadn't had time to practice it, it was this or flight and Naruto chose flight.

That week Naruto tried and tried, but all of his clones looked like they were run over with a rolling pin or they turned into balloons and exploded.

And the day of the exam arrived, Naruto entered the academy very nervous - Naruto! - Kiba approaches and the girl smiles at him.

-Hey guys -she greets when she sees the rest of her friends- I haven't seen you in so long. What have you been up to? -Shikamaru shrugs.

-You didn't miss much, shinobi history classes and things we won't see again - Shikamaru finishes and Chouji laughs.

-That's true -Kiba agrees- I've been bored to death and thanks to you leaving my grade fell to the worst in the class -Kiba frowns at Naruto, who just laughs at Kiba, but inside she was feeling horrible, she was going to fail this test...

Naruto recognized Mizuki's gaze on her as she walked into the test room, performing an Iruka transformation too nervous to do her sexy jutsu and when they asked her to perform a clone, she knew, she had failed, the Naruto at her side looked like she was going to die at any moment.

She didn't know how to feel, she thought she would feel hopeless, she had always longed to be a ninja, but now, although she was very sad and disappointed she wasn't desperate, she felt like she wanted to go home and read her favorite book while maybe suffering in silence.

She swung listening to the whispers of all the adults, looking relieved that she didn't graduate, as she swung she stretched her legs before leaning back looking at the tree that held her swing... she considered it hers since she was little.

Little Naruto heard a very light sound when he was walking near the academy, he had escaped from the anbu base, an achievement that no one knew how he achieved, one of his masked caretakers could keep his eyes on her for days and in the blink of an eye Naruto was gone.

Naruto blinked rapidly and steadily as he looked at the tree closely before approaching and touching it with the palm of his small hand, it was warm almost too much and he felt it throbbing under his hand, like a calm heart, she pressed her forehead against it and it was as if he wanted to absorb it.

One day the mouse had asked her to stop climbing it and in her mind while she pressed her forehead against the tree she asked for a swing , one like there was in the park, one that people were not allowed to use, one just for her.

The next day there was one hanging from the strongest branch she had, she almost squealed in joy, the swing pushed back and forth as if she was showing off for Naruto.

There was just one little problem… she didn't know how to swing, she climbed up like a little monkey and shook her little legs only to not be able to get up even a little bit, she didn't know why it didn't work, she felt that same heat on that swing and when she mentally told herself (more to herself than to anyone else) to move, she was startled when suddenly she was being propelled back and forth higher and higher.

She one day arrived at the academy only to freeze when she saw a boy approaching the swing; the boy who looked two or three years older than her noticed her and gave her a cheeky mocking look "What, were you planning on getting on?" The boy brazenly went to sit on the swing when Naruto saw the tree she was paralyzed by how the branch of the swing moved and when the boy dropped backwards onto the swing with a thud, his butt hitting the ground, the boy stood up and looked at Naruto with a blush of embarrassment and a frown before getting up and walking towards the swing again and tried to grab one of the ropes but was only greeted by nothing, another branch grew on the tree and shook in front of the boy's face in some sort of mockery "w-what the hell" the boy shrieks and runs off screaming that that tree was cursed.

She watched as the tree returned to how it was before and it seemed almost like an invitation, a giggle escaped her little mouth before it turned into cute, high pitched laughs, she lunged towards the tree and hugged it with her little arms "mine!"

The memory brings back a certain nostalgia for Naruto, he reaches out and touches that tree, which beats... too alive... as if it understood too much -it's you and me today, huh? - she smiles before startling when she feels a small herb on her waist tying her to the swing.

She let out a squeal as the swing was stopped on its side causing it to be crooked and Naruto would have almost lost his balance if it weren't for the grass that was now dispersing, seeing his academy teacher Mizuki -oh, I'm so sorry for scaring you Naruto -she shakes her head and gives him a half smile -and also the fact that you failed the exam just because of a Jutsu, I begged Iruka to let you pass, but you know -Naruto gives a slightly bigger smile.

-Thank you- she wasn't especially attached to Mizuki, although if she really thought about it the sensei before seemed to want to avoid her or reject her like everyone else so... maybe she had been wrong?

She shakes her head before turning her attention to Mizuki, she had to learn that at Hogwarts, you know it's hard to make a choice if you're trying to spill it all out there.

-But I have to tell you something that might make you happy- Naruto raises an eyebrow at the teacher- You still have a chance to graduate- The tree twists in a strange way but he doesn't pay enough attention to notice how he tried to stop her.

She stood up from the swing looking happy, bouncing excitedly on her feet - really? Ttebayo - the teacher nods, the fish had taken the hook….

Steal the scroll and learn any Jutsu before Mizuki arrives and if she succeeds she would graduate.

Naruto had to think about what he could do and remembered that it was forbidden to do magic, but nobody told him anything about potions, right? He checked if he had the correct doses and saw that he only had one chance.

She was very stealthy when entering the anbu lair, she had greeted Turtle when she arrived and she knew that with her eyes she could catch Naruto immediately, just before dinner time.

Unfortunately she ran into the boar commander on her way to the dining room, the man stops and turns his head slightly when he sees Naruto in the distance in the hallway, but that was too common, he had seen the anbu cub (as the anbu called her, they may not be the happiest people, but Naruto was special to them in one way or another and earned that nickname) walk these hallways since he was a baby, it wasn't strange in his mind that she was here.

Naruto mentally panicked, if maybe the boar had come a little closer he could see how she had gone stiff and pale, with her "strange power" making the atmosphere cool in nervousness.

Naruto in an attempt to pretend normality raised a hand and made a small salute before moving his hands in signs that only an anbu could understand.

Were they too quiet? Right, they didn't use many words and if they did it was to talk to someone outside of the anbu, but Naruto grew up here and learned anbu sign language before he could even say a single word.

- I'm going to see Turtle, Commander Boar - she finishes giving a small nod, to which Boar responds in kind before Naruto decided it was too much and ran away around the corner away from the sight of the strongest Anbu and the shadow of the Hokage.

She put a hand where her heart should be and felt it beating so fast, she sighed heavily before raising both hands and patting her blushing, mustachioed cheeks - you shouldn't be scared, you dodged Percy like a pro, you snuck into the kitchen and stole some desserts. Above all, you snuck into where there was a big three-headed dog without being discovered... almost, sleeping with more than fifty anbu and a Hokage shouldn't be difficult in comparison, right? - she whispers to herself to encourage herself before turning around and trying hard not to be seen.

She pulled the cork out when she saw the large pot of food, and poured a drop in, she didn't want them to sleep for too long, she wasn't the sharpest kunai among her classmates, but she wasn't stupid, she wasn't going to leave the village without her hidden protection for long and for a second she was grateful for the make-up she made when she failed the class on making magical sleeping pills, Snape had explained too much to her.

Using the Anbu hiding places on the roof he made his way to where the Hokage's secretary was having his meal.

She took care of the Hokage's dinner and when she saw the Hokage fall on his plate as soon as he ate, she couldn't help but laugh as she also heard a light knock from the anbu guarding the office as he slowly walked closer to his grandfather figure, the atmosphere heated up when Naruto let out small laughs at the snores he gave and the clear "I'm too old, I want to go" before walking towards the window and arriving at the Hokage's house, the anbu in the area were totally knocked out and that made Naruto jump to his feet without really worrying about the noise, he entered without too many worries where the anbu usually kept watch in case of emergencies and managed to find the scroll -great- she whispers before placing the scroll under her arm.

When the Hokage woke up, he knew something was wrong, besides of course his face was covered in food and when he felt that the scroll's place had been ransacked he looked in the crystal ball only to deny -oh no... -

- What do you think you're doing Naruto!? - She jumps at Iruka's voice when he finds her in the forest, she looks in confusion at her sensei who looked furious, but... for some reason Naruto thought he saw great concern .

- Huh? I got the scroll - she squeals and Iruka takes a deep breath and a twitch attacks his eyebrow.

-I see it... believe me, I see it, Naruto - Naruto's tone froze. What had he done wrong? Had Grandpa forbidden the use of potions for the test? - You stole the scroll and now you pretend not to give it any importance! - The chunnin shouted, only making Naruto more confused than before.

-I did it… What's wrong? - Iruka didn't know what to think when Naruto turned his head in a gesture of confusion and nervousness, as if he really didn't understand what was wrong with stealing the scroll -I did everything as he asked me to- at that Iruka completely froze as if the pieces fit together perfectly.

He leaned forward and grabbed Naruto's shoulders tightly - who! A name just that - Naruto tensed at the sudden touch and shivered hard, something was definitely wrong here.

-Mizuki sensei -she said softly, Iruka sighed partly with relief, if someone else had found Naruto they would have killed her without even knowing that she was tricked- he told me that if I managed to learn a Jutsu from the scroll before he found me I would... graduate- now that Naruto thought about it it sounded strange, a gennin who put the Hokage and anbu to sleep? He hadn't heard something like that before.

-Now Naruto I need you to stay with me at all times, do you understand? Mizuki lied to you, there is no other proof - Iruka heard a branch snap and when he saw Naruto's face he almost felt like he was going to break.

She lowers her head and squeezes the scroll in her arms - liar! Evil, bad, bad... - she repeats out loud and Iruka can feel the trembling increasing more and more, but suddenly she stays still - stupid Naruto - she says whispering in a way that her voice released a squeak.

Iruka had heard that insult before, many times, but the most surprising thing about it was that "stupid Naruto" born from Naruto, when he saw her stressed or looked at a failed exam Naruto would repeat that motto "stupid Naruto" it was almost like a mantra something he said to himself with great pain.

- Do you call yourself stupid Naruto? - Iruka said with a serious voice and grabbed Naruto's chin between two fingers before lifting him up and seeing how those eyes that, although they didn't release a single tear, showed so much pain - Look at you... Do you really think it's easy to evade Konoha's security and even more so the Hokage's? Oh god look at you, I was impressed myself when I heard that it was you and without help, there are more veteran ninjas who wouldn't even be close to achieving what you achieved... It's wrong that you hadn't analyzed the words and your surroundings more but... it was a partner who made you steal the scroll and you trusted your sensei, an action for which you can't be blamed - Iruka finishes and Naruto sighs shakily removing his chin from his sensei's fingers lowering his head again.

-Oh Naruto, what a great job you did - Mizuki claps a couple of times at his entrance, Naruto doesn't see it and just keeps his head down

Naruto was so hurt and betrayed right now, she had suspected the professor for the hope he had given the man had been fooled so easily, no matter what Iruka had said she was an idiot .

The wood of a log cracked as Naruto clenched his fists. "Mizuki, what do you think you're doing?" Iruka asked Mizuki, who only laughed as Naruto lowered his head.

- What do you think I'm doing? Taking revenge - the man's gaze became increasingly darker - taking revenge for what ended everything -

- What are you talking about? - Naruto, who had his back to her, finally turned around, pressing the rolled up scroll to his chest. - I didn't do anything to you! - She screamed and another branch broke. It was what she had always wanted to say. She didn't understand what she had done wrong to make him want revenge.

-That's true, Naruto hasn't done anything wrong - Iruka puts a hand in front of Naruto to protect her when he sees that Mizuki was taking something out of her bag.

- What are you talking about Iruka? - Mizuki smiles and Iruka pales - I'll tell you a secret, Naruto - she swallowed heavily.

- Don't you dare! - Iruka shouts again, it wasn't even about the law he was shouting about, it was about Naruto...

Iruka tapped the papers on his desk, looking uncomfortably at the boy sitting at the back and above his class.

That little boy fluttered around in his worn t-shirt and shorts, his little arms on the table before raising his head and looking directly at Iruka.

Iruka remembers that day... beneath the rocks there was a lot of... Blood... the foundations of what used to be his home... the screams of his companions... And that blood that belonged to his parents...

The chunnin lowered his head as soon as their eyes met, he had promised the Hokage that he would take care of the jinchuriki, but... It hurt to see him, having a childish face that kept what caused great pain to everyone.

If Iruka had kept his gaze he would have seen Naruto attempt a smile at him before Naruto trailed off at how they avoided it….

-almost twelve years ago the nine-tailed demon –

When Naruto had filled the classroom with honey he didn't know what to say to him when he approached and separated him from the group -I can't believe it... this will interrupt your classmates' studying Naruto- Iruka had seen when Naruto had lowered his head, but he seemed to light up like a Christmas tree when he said his name, Iruka couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

-Yo, yo, Naruto -she squeals loudly with her few words, Iruka saw how a smile flooded Naruto's face -finally- she whispers with too much joy for something so silly.

But that stopped being silly when he realized the fact that there were very few people willing to call him by his name, it was always "that Uzumaki kid" or "it" and Iruka felt horrible thinking that he did it too or rather called him "jinchuriki"

- NO! – Iruka screams, Naruto shouldn't have found out this way, he didn't deserve this.

-Am I bad? - Naruto asks, it was one of those days where Naruto had made a joke and decided that he would have extra classes after the normal academy hours, Naruto shook the pencil in front of her before looking at Iruka -I'm so bad, you hate me- Iruka froze, Naruto normally had the tone of a four or three year old when speaking, distrustful when using words for fear of stammering but this was said as clearly as he should speak at his age, she had heard it too much .

Naruto looks at him with too much pain in his eyes... Iruka was the one to blame for that pain... Naruto didn't deserve to be treated like that when he was born and chosen to save the village... Naruto was an innocent hero... a child who was kept in the dark to protect him without noticing that they were harming him.

-It was sealed inside you- Naruto's breath caught as the air was cut off so visibly that it was painful- You attacked the village- Mizuki looked at Iruka and smiled- You killed Iruka's parents when he was just a genin, you ended so many lives that you deserve to die- It was when a giant shuriken was thrown at the girl that she was able to blink, but that was all, she saw it coming, before feeling herself being pushed out of the way and falling to the ground.

-that's not true, Naruto may have the demon sealed inside him, but- Iruka's voice trembled at the end, the shuriken buried in his back- Naruto is no demon and, I s-shouldn't h-have l-looked at him t-like t-the oth-ers did and- when the tears from Iruka's face fell down to hit Naruto's cheeks- I should have done more for you- I should have invited you to eat more of the ramen you love, talk about fun things so you could learn to speak faster .

The memory of the boy alone, with injuries, too small filled Iruka's mind and his guilt increased, Naruto was not a bad boy.

-Get out of the way Iruka - Mizuki said as he approached thinking of embedding the shuriken further into Iruka's back.

At that moment Naruto looked at the man who had betrayed her and then at Iruka. How could he continue to look at her face when inside her was what had turned his life upside down? How could he think that Naruto was good, when he had hurt so many people?

- Do you want to come eat with me Naruto? - She raises an eyebrow in surprise and suspicion, why would Iruka want to invite her to eat?

- Eat? - Naruto asks curiously, doubtfully and scared.

-I'm inviting you to whatever you want- Iruka gave Naruto a small smile that she didn't return and instead thought about it.

One rainy day she was on the street, she had to get to the Hokage tower to tell her grandfather that the bad person who came to collect from her had thrown her out... but she was very hungry, she got to the point where she saw many colors everywhere and she didn't recognize where she was going.

When a hand on her shoulder stopped her she tensed and jumped forward her feet stumbling as she fell to the ground hard. "I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" It was a high pitched voice... a young girl perhaps. "It's raining so hard, you shouldn't be here," the girl exclaims, Naruto shudders before getting up.

His stomach decided to growl at that moment and he let out a pitiful sound as he placed a hand on his too-empty stomach, his landlady always overcharged him so he didn't have much food left.

-Oh you must be very hungry, come here- the girl took his arm making Naruto shudder when he took her inside a store.

She smells delicious was Naruto's first thought as he looked around, he could now see the girl more clearly, she had brown hair and was maybe ten or nine, he had been wrong in thinking she was older -oh... how small- was what a man behind the counter said making Naruto jump, the girl walked quickly to the back of the establishment bringing a towel with her and dried Naruto's hair.

When the man presented a plate of food in front of her, Naruto was confused "I... not money" she says moving the plate away from her.

-Oh, I'm not charging you... Let's say it's a reward -Naruto turns his head -it's a secret-

She is suspicious, but she is starving and the broth with meat and noodles smelled delicious, Naruto finally gave in to hunger and took a sip of the broth and then bit into the meat, being instantly amazed.

-Delicious -she says when she finishes the plate very quickly- Wah! -She squeals when the man leaves another one in front of her- Are you sure? -Naruto asks when he grabs the chopsticks, the man smiles and nods.

Those people had been very warm to her that cold and rainy day, when Naruto told them his name, they explained to her that that fish thing was also Naruto…. - I want ramen! - Naruto exclaims happily, the atmosphere becoming warm.

Maybe Iruka didn't hate her that much, that was Naruto's thought as she sat with him next to her… the man still avoided her gaze, but…. It was different… there was more guilt than anything else.

He was not a bad person

She didn't let the rage flood her, she wouldn't allow Iruka to get hurt more than he was.

He got out from under Iruka who screamed his name when he moved, Naruto looked at the man with narrowed eyes, his golden eyelashes turning to slits that barely let the blue of his eyes out - you don't understand what it feels like... to be blamed for things beyond my control... hated and... used , you will never dare to hurt someone precious to me again- Naruto waved his hands before making a sign that he didn't know would become his signature technique - kage bunshin no Jutsu - Naruto finishes and hundreds of clones appear, Iruka gasps at the number and smiles seeing the panic on his former sensei's face - oh come on, you weren't that brave enough to face me I'm just a seal after all - Mizuki backed away as all the clones were insulting his presence and then receiving a beating.

When it's all over, Naruto approaches with the scroll and a guilty look in his eyes -I'm sorry, I-I just- Naruto shakes his head refusing to let the tears fall, although Naruto knows that she hasn't cried for so long .

Iruka looks at Naruto seriously making her lower her head, hurt under the gaze of the teacher who always treated her well, despite everything, Naruto did not raise his head even when the sound of cloth filled his ears and when he did it was when he felt something being placed on his forehead and when it finished Naruto could see the smile on Iruka's face - congratulations Naruto you have graduated! You have proven to have what it takes to be a ninja and - at that moment the young chunnin stopped when he saw Naruto's big eyes, wide open in disbelief, causing the chunnin's smile to grow wider and he sat up a little before surrounding Naruto in a hug feeling the girl's tremors.

-t-thanks –

When Naruto fell into my arms, I knew that making so many clones had affected him, his breathing was calm while Iruka thought about how to carry him, he was injured and it was going to be difficult when suddenly an anbu appeared, the mask was of a turtle and seeing Naruto on the ground without moving he approached noticing how he was breathing softly -she's okay- the anbu says and I get confused.

The Hokage and this anbu treated Naruto as a girl and he doubted that the Hokage after years of knowing Naruto did not know that he is a boy so - Naruto is a girl? - turtle had lifted Naruto carrying him, resting his head against his shoulder and seemed to mention "advantages of being small in size to carry"

-Naruto doesn't care about gender -the anbu says as if it's something he admires about Naruto- but if you're asking if Naruto was biologically a girl, then yes-…

-Oh okay-… it took me a while to process the words -Wait! Wait! What?! -The Anbu didn't give any more answers about that, he just said goodbye to me, taking Naruto away…

Naruto woke up at noon stretching a little, before realizing he was in his bed, had it all been a dream? Naruto turned his head when he realized he wasn't when he saw the hita ate placed on his nightstand, he took it looking at it for a few minutes before remembering Mizuki's words, inside it they had sealed a demon.

The silence was mortifying as she walked over to the full length mirror she had, fiddling with the hem of her shirt before finally taking it off and looking directly at herself, her stomach was flat, but except for bruises from the fall that were barely noticeable anymore, there was nothing.

She spread her Chakra throughout her body and a spiral appeared in her abdomen, she pressed her lips tightly before her entire body relaxed -I finally know why they treated me like this- she smiled sadly at herself in the mirror, before sighing -moh! - she exclaimed and ruffled her hair with one hand before looking at herself in the mirror -okay fox... let's get along- she poked her stomach a couple of times before laughing at herself, what else could she do .

- Huh? - Naruto stopped laughing paralyzed when his gaze had left her abdomen and had gone up, he blinked several times at what he saw - What?! - She squealed as if anyone could answer that...
