5: The Returned Forest! Enter – Naruto Uzumaki!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju) & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
…My Line…
It was right after Team Kakashi and Tobi left, that the group got two new more viewers in form of two very familiar people to Itachi, Shisui, Obito, and the Senju couple, showed up. One was a young 31-year-old man with shoulder length, straight, brown hair that has bangs framing sunkissed masculine face and a pair of monolid shape onyx eyes that have visible creases below them while the other was a young 27-year-old woman with mid-back length, straight, black hair that has bangs hanging on either side of her face to roughly frame her cheeks and a pair of almond shape onyx eyes.
"Mikoto, Fugaku," Kushina gasped in shock.
"Kushina?" Mikoto Uchiha, the Uchiha Matriarch asked in shock.
"Minato?" asked her husband, Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha Patriarch.
"Where are we?" they asked at the same time.
Obito walked up to them making the two older Uchihas to look at him.
"We're in some kind of viewing room," he answered. "The reason why is so that we see the future and make changes to keep the disaster that it becomes from happening."
The husband and wife duo shared a look with each other before nodding their heads.
"Well, let's get to it," Mikoto stated as she goes to sit down.
However, Fugaku noticed an older Itachi and Shisui there which had him blink in shock.
"Itachi?" he asked. "Shisui?"
His wife snapped her head around to look at them in shock.
"Uncle Fugaku, Aunt Mikoto," the 15-year-old Jonin greeted with a nod.
"Father," Itachi greeted next. "Mother."
Minato gave a slight cough to get everyone back on track.
"Everyone ready?" the Uchiha pre-teen asked as he picked up the remote.
"Yes," they all answered as everyone sat down.
"On to the next episode," Obito said cheerfully as he hit play on the remote for the third time.
He placed it back down.
…My Line…
(Konohagakure: 5 Months After the Kyuubi no Kitsune!)
Laying in a bed within the Hospital of the Hidden Leaf Village aka Konohagakure was a dusty pink eyed, dark green hair woman as she heaved violently while her inner muscles constricted to try and remove the foreign object.
…My Line…
"Is that Lady Yuki?" Mikoto asked in surprise.
"I think so," Kushina answered though she sounded confused.
...My Line...
"Just one more push, Yuki," a midwife with hazel eyes and honey blond hair called out over the woman's cries of pain as she tried not to hyperventilate at the amount blood she could see. "I can see the baby's head!"
Yuki Senju nee Miran cursed herself and her husband for even trying for a child.
"Goddamnit!" she cursed. "Get this kid out of me!"
"Hang in there," a dark eyed and hair teenage girl told her. "Just a bit longer, Lady Yuki!"
It wasn't long before the blissful cries of a newborn was heard in place of Yuki's cries.
"Shizune! Hot water!"
"Right!"
Shizune Kato rushed to carry out the order.
...My Line...
Kushina narrowed her eyes as she felt like something was wrong, but just couldn't put her finger on it.
...My Line...
"Tsunade," Yuki weakly spoke up as she felt herself start to weaken. "My baby?"
"It's a girl," Tsunade Senju answered as she cleaned the baby.
"Raika Senju."
"Huh?"
Both Tsunade and Shizune looked over at the greenette in confusion.
"Her…name…is…"
A single long deep sound was head making the two med-ninjas to jump into action as an elderly male in a red and white robe and a red and white hat that has the Kanji for 'Fire' on it, walked in.
...My Line...
"Oh my God," Mikoto breathed in shock and horror.
Minato closed his own eyes while Kushina took hold of his hand knowing that it wasn't easy to see a member of your family die.
...My Line...
"Here, Sandaime-sama," Shizune said as she put the newborn in his arms. "Take her."
The teen than moved to help her mentor in saving the woman's cousin-in-law.
...My Line...
With a sigh that had a hint of sadness, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage, walked out of the room before looking down at the babe, who had started to cry. It was as if the newborn could tell she had lost her mother and was thus now an orphan.
...My Line...
All of them bowed their head while the Senju Heir seek comfort from his wife from the scene that they saw.
…My Line…
It was a crying Tsunade that walked into the Hokage's office where her sensei and his two former teammates were waiting for her with her own teammate also in the room.
"Tsunade-hime?" Homura Mitokado asked.
"We did everything we could, but she bleed out to fast," the Senju answered. "So, there was nothing that we could do to stop it."
"So, Lady Yuki is died, huh?" Koharu Utatane asked with a sigh.
"Yes."
"What do we do with the Honorable Granddaughter of the Nidaime?" Jiraiya of the Sannin asked as he looked at them.
They all looked at the sleeping baby, who was too young to understand what had just happened. Koharu walked over to the crib and stared at the little girl, who has red markings on each of her cheeks.
"I have a better question," the Utatane spoke up. "What do we call her?"
"Yuki named her, Raika Senju, before she flat lined," Tsunade answered as the elderly woman gently stroked the baby's cheeks.
...My Line...
Everyone sat forward as they all wondered if there was a chance for the original Team Tobirama to actually go back to the way they had once been before their Sensei's death.
...My Line...
Hiruzen looked out over the village in thought.
"Until she turns 16 or makes Chunin," the Sandaime finally spoke. "She'll be known as Raika Miran to the rest of the village and the world."
They all stared at him, but didn't protest knowing that there is no way to change his mind.
"When she makes Chunin, I'll return to train her in the medical arts and the Senju Clan techniques," Tsunade sighed as she looked at her little cousin. "This way we don't truly bring any attention to her until then."
The Hokage and two elders nodded their heads at that idea though they could tell it was killing Tsunade to have to leave Raika, who needs her more than ever.
"We'll train her in polices," Homura stated as Koharu nodded her head.
"I train her in Fuinjutsu when I am in the village," Jiraiya added.
"And I will train her physically," Hiruzen finished off. "But, we'll all will train her mentally."
He looked at his former teammates, who agreed with him.
"Hide her in the orphanage," the Senju told them. "And never let Danzo learn of her until she is ready to take her place in the village."
...My Line...
"All it took to get those three to work together again was for the grandchild of Lord Tobirama to lose her mother?" Kushina asked in shock.
"And father," Mikoto added. "At least that is what it sounds like. Seeing as they are going to send her to an orphanage."
...My Line...
The former members of Team Tobirama growled at the thought of Danzo trying to get his hands on the granddaughter of their teacher while Jiraiya glared at the fare wall with pure hate in his eyes.
"Orochimaru will have to be kept in the dark as will," the Toad Sage added.
The other four nodded at that.
"We will do right by Tobirama-sensei, Lady Usagi, Lord Ryurama, and Lady Yuki," Koharu said. "This we swear."
"This we swear," the rest agreed with her.
Many were unaware that for the first time since the 10th year of Hiruzen Sarutobi's first rule as Hokage, Team Tobirama stood united again. All in the name of protecting the only living legacy of their Sensei and the village's Nidaime Hokage. A young girl, who is born Raika Senju, but for now is known only by the name of Raika Miran.
...My Line...
The screen turned dark for a moment.
"Alright," Minato spoke up. "Let's get to the next part of this episode."
"Agreed," Obito seconded.
The others all nodded their heads before the screen lit up once again.
…My Line…
(The Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)
12 years ago a Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly appeared.
Its tails lashed out mashing mountains and sending tidal waves crashing to the shores.
The Ninjas rose up to defend their villages against the attack.
...My Line...
"Hold the attack!" a Leaf Ninja ordered. "And wait for the Yondaime Hokage!"
"It's getting closer!" another yelled as the first jumped into action. "Don't let it near the village!"
Just then a big red toad wearing a dark blue cloak appeared on the battlefield facing the fox and on its head stood a young sunny blonde hair man wearing a white haori with crimson red flames on the bottom.
...My Line...
One Shinobi faced the Nine-Tailed Fox in mortal combat.
He sacrifice his life to capture the beast and sealed into a human body.
...My Line...
The young man did hand seals as he faced the fox before there was a bright light.
...My Line...
This Ninja was known as the Yondaime Hokage. - Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.
...My Line...
It then showed a blonde infant, however, it had a seal on its belly, and was crying.
...My Line...
There were gasped from the older Shinobis while the pre-teens were confused about this.
...My Line...
Episode 5: The Returned Forest! Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!
(12 Years After Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)
A young 12-year-old boy ran through Konohagakure as he was being chased by a group of Shinobi while holding a paint bucket in hand laughing. This boy has neck length, spiky windswept, blond hair, and almond shape cobalt blue eyes hidden behind a pair of goggles that has orange tinted lenses and straps with ear protectors with three whisker like marks on each of his cheeks.
The blond was wearing a waist length, long sleeve that has three brunt orange strips, gray jacket with an outlined in white, brunt orange spiral on the back over a short sleeve, firm fitting, chain mill, dark gray mesh shirt. He had completed the look with a pair of slightly blowy, black pants that are tapped into a pair of ankle length, opened toed, blue ninja sandals using white tap.
"NARUTO!" a Konoha Shinobi called. "GET BACK HERE! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU...!"
"YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE THIS TIME NARUTO!"
All three then started to jump over the roofs which got a view of the Hokage Mountain in the background with four faces.
"Give it up!" Naruto called back. "Your just bent because you don't have the guts to do what I do! Do ya? Losers! Wannabes! You'll never catch me!"
A mountain could be seen in the distance with all four faces that were craved into its side having paint all over them.
...My Line...
Obito, Shisui, and Kushina busted up laughing when they saw what the blonde boy did to the mountain while the rest gawked.
"Oh my God," Obito yelled as he laughed. "I love the way that that your son thinks, Minato-sensei!"
"He's a genius!" Kushina added. "A pure genius!"
"I knew that he was an evil genius, but not a funny evil genius," Shisui cackled.
Minato and Mikoto smiled at the three of them while the rest deadpan at that.
…My Line…
In a classroom sitting in the back by a window was a young 12-year-old girl, who looked bored out of her skull. She has slightly below shoulder blade length pulled into a high ponytail making it fall to her shoulders, pin straight, dark green hair with her bangs parted in the middle to frame her ivory tone feminine angular face and monolid shape dark wine-red eyes. On each of her cheeks were thin red markings that pointed up towards the middle. She was listening to the Sensei go on about the Hokages before letting out a sigh and then looking out of said window. It was then that her eyes widen in shock before she raised her hand while still looking out of the window.
"Yes, Raika?" a brown hair with a scar across his nose male asked her.
"Iruka-Sensei, you might want to look out the window," Raika Miran answered as she pointed.
Iruka Umino did as she told him, too, only to gawk before letting out a growl in annoyance.
"Naruto," he growled before he headed for the door as he looked at the class. "The rest of you read the Chapter on the Yondaime Hokage for you will be tested on it."
The whole class groaned while pulling out their history book as the Umino left.
...My Line...
"Hasn't Iruka just entered the academy?" Rin asked with a tilted head.
"Yeah, I think so," Obito answered with a nod.
...My Line...
"Lord Hokage!" a ninja yelled as an older Sarutobi was shown. "It's an emergency!"
"I hope that you're not bothering me with something trivial and don't tell me that it's Naruto again?" the Sandaime asked.
"It is Naruto again!" a second ninja answered. "He climbed on the great stone faces!"
"He put graffiti all the Hokage!"
Hiruzen let out a sigh as causing smoke.
...My Line...
"It's Lord Hokage's personal Hell," Fugaku snorted. "Him still as Hokage and dealing with a Minato look alike with Kushina's personality."
Obito and Kushina laughed as the rest looked highly amused.
…My Line…
"NARUTO HOLD ON!" a ninja yelled as they jumped after the blonde.
It was then that a part of the wooden wall moved and reveal the real Naruto, who laughed.
"That was to easy."
"Oh yeah, Naruto?" Iruka asked as he appeared right behind him.
This freaked the Uzumaki out, who jumped a few feet in the air, turned while still in the air, and fall onto his ass.
"Where did you come from Iruka-Sensei?" Naruto asked. "What are you doing here?"
"No, what are you doing here?" Iruka turned the question around on Naruto. "You're supposed to be in class."
The blonde was tied up by Iruka before dragged to the academy.
...My Line...
"He is so your son, Kushina," Mikoto snorted.
"And I am so proud," Kushina sniffed as she whipped a tear from her eyes.
Minato sweatdropped as Obito and Shisui cackled.
...My Line...
"I'm at the end of my rope Naruto," Iruka told him once they were in the Ninja Academy. "You failed the graduation test last time, and the time before that. Tomorrow, you've got another chance and you're messing up again." Naruto turned around with a pout on his face like he didn't even care. "Fine. Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the Transformation Jutsu!"
"Awwww!" the whole class, but Sasuke Uchiha and Raika groaned.
After a glare from Iruka, the whole class stood in front of him waiting to be called forward.
…My Line…
'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?' Itachi thought with a sigh.
...My Line...
"Alright," a pink hair girl said. "Sakura, here. Let's do it."
…My Line…
The greenette let out a sigh as she shook her head.
…My Line…
"Raika looks so done with pinky," Shisui snorted.
"You know how she feels about fangirls," Itachi reminded him.
"Huh?"
"How does Raika feel about fangirls?" Obito asked.
"That they can all go either drawn in a river or jump off the Hokage Mountain," the Uchiha cousins answered.
The redhead, ravenette, and brunette nodded their heads in agreement with them.
…My Line…
"Transform."
…My Line…
It wasn't long till an Iruka look alike was standing in place of Sakura.
"Transformed into me?" Iruka asked. "Good."
…My Line…
"Boring," Team Minato and Shisui said at the same time.
…My Line…
When she changed back the young pink hair girl started to jump up and down.
"Yes, yes, I did it," she cheered. "I did it."
"I kicked butt!" inner Sakura yelled.
"Sasuke, did you see that?" the pink hair girl asked.
...My Line...
"Thank God, Lady Tsunade isn't here," Rin sighed.
"Agreed," the two different Matriarchs seconded.
...My Line...
Raika shared a look with a dark blue hair female before looking back to the front.
...My Line...
"Alright, Raika Miran, you're up!" the Umino called out.
...My Line...
The red eyed, green hair pre-teen female walked forward before silently transforming slightly into a long brown hair, dark skin, and dark eyed male in dark red samurai armor.
...My Line...
The Senju Heir gap in shock at the sight of Hashirama Senju while the rest were impressed.
"Now that something new," Shisui snickered.
...My Line...
"Transforming into the Shodaime Hokage?" the Umino asked as he gave a once over. "Very good."
...My Line...
"He is right," Minato agreed. "It was very well done."
The Uchiha Jonin teen smiled softly at that as he felt proud of his little kohai.
...My Line...
Once she had turned back to normal, the Miran walked back to her seat and just watched the rest of the test.
...My Line...
"Next, Sasuke Uchiha!" Iruka called out.
...My Line...
Both Mikoto and Fugaku looked at the screen more intensely then before.
"Who is Sasuke?" Mikoto asked.
"Your youngest, Koto-chan," Kushina answered.
The husband and wife duo looked pleased.
...My Line...
The Uchiha stepped forward and transformed into another Iruka.
...My Line...
"That's my boy," Fugaku praised.
The Uchiha Heir smiled softly wishing that his little brother was there to see and hear this.
...My Line...
"Good."
...My Line...
The dark hair teen turned back before walking away.
...My Line...
"Next is Naruto Uzumaki."
...My Line...
Kushina and Minato shared a look with each other before looking back at the screen.
...My Line...
"This is total waste of time, Naruto," a brown hair boy told him.
"We always pay for your screw ups," a pale blonde hair girl agreed.
"Like I care," Naruto told them as he stepped forward.
...My Line...
"You tell them, Naruto," Kushina said with a nod.
The Uchiha pre-teen was nodding as well in agreement.
...My Line...
'Naruto, do your best,' a dark blue hair girl thought as she watched him.
...My Line...
"SO CUTE," the females all gashed.
"She must be Hiashi's daughter," Kakashi said as he looked at the girl.
"You could be right, Kakashi-kun," Fugaku agreed.
...My Line...
"Transform!" Naruto shouted before in his place was a naked girl with clouds around her private parts making Iruka fall back with a nosebleed. "Got cha!" Naruto turned back into himself laughing. "That's my Sexy Jutsu!"
...My Line...
The females all snarled while the men kept their mouths shut in fear of their rath.
...My Line...
"Cut the stupid tricks!" Iruka yelled at him. "This is your last warning!"
"Oh, Naruto," a familiar female voice growled.
As one, the whole class turned to see the Miran with her eyes shadow by her bangs while cracking her knuckles making Naruto yelp. The blonde hide behind Sasuke, who in a fit of male cowardice left the Uzumaki to his fate, while Shinobu was moving away from her.
"Teme!"
"You are on your own, dope!" the dark hair teen called back as he ran.
Naruto slowly turned back to Raika, who had a sickly sweet smile on her face.
"Hehe, Raika," Naruto stuttered. "Please calm down?"
...My Line...
'Scary,' the men all thought with shudders.
"You go girl!"
...My Line...
"Run," the greenette growled as she slowly made her way towards the shaking blonde.
"RUN YOU FOOL!" very male in the classroom yelled at him.
With a feminine shriek that he would deny ever letting out, the Uzumaki bolted out of the window.
"GET BACK HERE, NARUTO!" the greenette yelled as she followed after him while Iruka let out a sigh. "AND TAKE YOUR BEATING LIKE A MAN!"
"NO!" they all heard Naruto yell back at her.
"Idiot," the dark eyed, raven hair male snorted.
All the males in the room could do was nod in agreement.
...My Line...
"I have to agree with otouto on this," Itachi stated with a nod as he looked his godmother and her husband. "Sorry, Auntie Kushina."
The woman just waved her hand at him as she knew that it was true and she blamed Minato for it.
...My Line...
"So, have you figured out, who is going to be teaching Squad 7, and on it for that matter?" Koharu Utatane asked as she stood in front of the Sandaime.
"Not yet, I haven't," he answered with a sigh. "I am having trouble choosing between both Tenzo and Kakashi."
"Well, you better figure it out soon because Danzo is already making plans to get his hands on young Uzumaki along with Raika," Homura Mitokado stated.
This made Hiruzen Sarutobi to snarl.
"Over my cold dead body!" he snapped.
Koharu goes to open her mouth only to blink when a yellow blur shot past him with a green blur not too far behind.
"NARUTO!" a familiar voice yelled. "GET BACK HERE AND TAKE YOUR BEATING LIKE A MAN!"
"BACK, YOU VILE DEMON!" a second familiar voice called out. "BACK, I SAY!"
...My Line...
"Naruto did not just call my sweet kohai a demon?" Shisui asked with a snarl.
"Yes," answered Kakashi as he threw his sensei's son under the bus. "Yes, he did."
"He's dead the next time I see him," the master of the body flicker whispered into Itachi's ear.
The former Uchiha Heir looked at his cousin in amusement.
…My Line…
Down below the rest of the villagers just snorted in amusement at the scene as they watched.
...My Line...
"I swear that boy is going to be the death of me, one day," the Sarutobi sighed as he pulled his hat down over his eyes.
Koharu snorted while Homura smirked.
"At least, you can't say that young Uzumaki doesn't make life boring," the Mitokado told him.
This time the Utatane busted up laughing while the Hokage gave them a glare.
...My Line...
The Uchihas in the room all snorted in laughter while the rest actually felt sorry for the Sandaime.
...My Line...
It was later that day that one could find Naruto at the Hokage Mountain where he was cleaning it of the paint while Iruka watched.
"This sucks," Naruto grumbled. "Loser."
"You're not going home until you've cleaned up every single drop of paint!" Iruka called out to him.
"So, what!?" Naruto called back. "It's not like there's anyone at home waiting for me!"
...My Line...
"What does he mean by that?" Minato asked. "I mean from the beginning of the episode I got that I dead to seal away the Kyuubi, but Kushina should still be alive…right? Or at least Jiraiya-sensei should at least be taking care of them should Kushina also be dead, too."
"You see..." Shisui trailed off with a grimace.
"Let's just say that the both of you are dead and as for Jiraiya…" Itachi coughed a bit. "You'll have to watch to find out."
This worried everyone as they didn't like where it was going.
...My Line...
"Naruto."
"What do you want now, Sensei?"
"Well, I was just thinking," Iruka spoke up. "Maybe after you've cleaned this all up I can take you out for some roman. The good stuff. What do you think?"
"Now that's some serious motivation!" Naruto cheered. "I'll this clean in no time!"
...My Line...
"Great a ramen addict," the ravenette sighed. "He really is your Son, Minato, Kushina."
...My Line...
The Uzumaki and Iruka could be found sitting in Ichiraku Roman stand with a bowl of ramen in front of them.
"Naruto."
"Huh?"
"Why did you do that to the Hokage's Faces?" Iruka asked. "I mean, you know, who the Hokage are don't you?"
"Course I do," Naruto answered as he finished off his bowl of roman. "Everybody knows. They were the greatest of their time. Best of the best. Undefeatable Ninja Champs. The Yondaime Hokage is the one, who saved the village from Kyuubi no Kitsune. He's the most amazing."
...My Line...
"Who is the Yondaime?" Minato asked.
"Stretch that," Kushina stated. "How the hell did the Kyuubi escape it's seal!"
That got a lot of them asking that every question while Itachi and Shisui, who were keeping their mouths shut.
...My Line...
"Why did you…"
"Because I'm going to be greater than any of them," Naruto answered. "Me, Naruto, the next Hokage! A Ninja legend! Then everyone will have to stop disrespecting me and look up to me, ya know! Huh? I kinda of what to ask a little favor Sensei."
"You want another bowl?" Iruka asked.
"I-I want to try on your headband," Naruto answered. "Come on please?"
"Oh, this?" Iruka asked as he touched his protector. "No way. You can only wear the leaf headband after you finally graduate the Academy and become a ninja. You've got to pass the test tomorrow."
"That is so uncool!" Naruto yelled.
"Hey, hey!" the Umino laughed. "Is that why you took off your goggles?"
"Ah! I want another bowl!"
Iruka laughed at that.
...My Line...
They all laughed at that as well though Rin could see Obito in her sensei's son.
...My Line...
(The Next Morning: Ninja Academy!)
Raika was sitting next to Hinata Hyuuga in class looking at the front waiting for Iruka to tell them what the test was about.
"We will now start the final exam," Iruka started to explain to them. "When your name is called, proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on-the clan jutsu."
...My Line...
"Why have them do such an easy jutsu for?" Rin asked. "I mean, the academy is supposed to be preparing them for the ninja lifestyle..." She looked at the blonde. "Isn't it?"
The Senju Heir nodded his head as he narrowed his eyes.
...My Line...
'That's my worst technique,' Naruto thought in distressed. 'Great I'm never going to pass.' He then blinked. 'Duh.' He face palmed. 'I could just use a different Clone Jutsu. There is nothing against it in the rules.'
The Uzumaki sat back to wait for his name to be called as the Umino called for the first student.
...My Line...
"How can someone not be able to do a simple Clone Jutsu?" Kakashi asked confused.
"You'll be learning about the reason soon enough," Shisui answered.
...My Line...
"Raika Miran!" Iruka called out as a civilian student took their seat.
The green hair pre-teen stood up and followed her sensei as he walked out of the classroom.
...My Line...
"I am shocked that no one figured out that Raika was the Nidaime's granddaughter," the 15-year-old Uchiha groaned. "I mean, the kid looks like a mini version of her mother, Lady Yuki, with the dark wine-red eyes of Lord Tobirama." He let out a groan. "Alongside the face markings, too."
Itachi cackled at that though the rest also found it amusing.
…My Line…
"Looks like Raika is up first," Koharu said as she and her teammates were gathered around the Hokage's crystal ball.
"I have no doubt that she will pass with flying colors," Homura stated with a smirk. "After all the three of us trained her."
Hiruzen smiled softly as he watched his Sensei's grandchild step up in front of the Academy Teachers.
...My Line...
There were soft smiles at the sight of the original Team Tobirama finally working together again.
...My Line...
"Alright Raika," a whitish blue hair male told her when Iruka took his set. "Make three clones of yourself."
Raika put her hands in a hand sign making Iruka and the other teacher to gasp.
'Shadow Clone Jutsu!' she thought before in a puff of smoke three clones of her stood next to her on either side.
"How?" Iruka asked. "How do you know that jutsu?"
"I've been told that I have too much chakra for a normal clone jutsu," the green hair female answered. "So, I was taught the Shadow Clone Jutsu to get around that."
...My Line...
"Oh, that's why," Kakashi said with a blink.
"Yup," the Uchiha cousins agreed.
...My Line...
"Right," the man laughed. "I forgot. Sorry." Raika waved it off. "Congratulation. You graduate." The Miran looked surprised when Iruka pulled out a purple cloth forehead protector and handed it over to her with a smile. "Will you tell Shikamaru to come in here please?"
"Yes of course Sensei," Raika agreed before she walked out.
...My Line...
"Shikaku's kid," Fugaku stated.
"No doubt."
…My Line…
"Who were you planning on putting on her team, Hiruzen?" Homura asked.
"And who is her Jonin Sensei going to be?"
The Sarutobi was going through the young greenette's work before nodding to himself.
"This year's Rookie of the Year is Sasuke Uchiha with Raika as the Top Kunoichi," he informed them. "And of course, Naruto is the dead last with Shikamaru Nara being a close second."
...My Line...
Itachi and Shisui shared a look with each other as they had a feeling that the two Senju cousins planned it all out.
...My Line...
His two teammates shared a look with each other as they knew that when it comes to the Jinchuuriki, who also happens to be the Yondaime's Son, the whole village dropped the ball. As an Uzumaki, Naruto had too much chakra, but if you add being a Jinchuuriki on top of that than it would be next to impossible for him to control it all.
"So, the team will be Sasuke Uchiha, Raika Miran, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki, huh?" Koharu asked.
"Who will be the Jonin?"
"Kakashi Hatake," the Hokage answered.
The other two raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure, Hiruzen?" Homura asked. "After all, the Civilian Council has ordered him to train the Uchiha only." The Sarutobi gapped at him in shock. "And normally this would not be a problem, but he will also have the Yondaime's only child along with Raika-chan as well. Both of whom are more important than Sasuke Uchiha given Naruto's Jinchuuriki and Heir Statues along with the Heir Statues of Raika. Plus, Sakura Haruno will only bring the team down as she cares more about Sasuke then training."
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at this in thought.
...My Line...
"I am sure that they didn't mean the whole being more important than Sasuke as all three of them are from two of Konoha's founding clans," the redhead stated as she noticed the anger of Fugaku, Mikoto, Shisui, and Obito.
This calmed them down a bit, but the Uchihas were still angry.
...My Line...
'Alright get it together Naruto,' the older hidden Senju thought as he stepped up to the front of the teachers after Sasuke had gone. 'You can do this, ya know.' He then made the hand signs, and his chakra became a bit visible. "Wood Clone Jutsu!"
...My Line...
There were dropped jaws at seeing the Wood Style of the Shodaime Hokage at work again while Kakashi smirked with pride at his Sensei's son.
…My Line…
Team Tobirama choked when they heard those words.
"HIRUZEN!" Koharu yelled.
"I didn't know," the Sandaime quickly informed her. "I swear!"
"Find out how young Naruto has the Shodaime Hokage's Kekkei Genkai," she demanded.
"YES MA'AM!" Hiruzen agreed at once.
Homura watched all of this with amusement.
...My Line...
Obito, Shisui, and to everyone's surprise, Fugaku started cackling.
"Well, at least Lady Koharu has a head on her shoulders," Mikoto deadpan.
The Uzumaki nodded while Kakashi, Itachi and Minato let out a sigh.
…My Line…
From Naruto's shoulders three clones made out of wood appeared, but once they detached, the took on color and looks of their creator. Iruka and the other teacher stared at him in shock as the all three Narutos looked at them with a raised an eyebrow each.
"Well, did I pass?" they asked at the same time.
"Yes," Iruka answered.
"Hold on, Iruka-Sensei," the other male teacher said. "Naruto didn't use the jutsu that was requested for him to pass."
The blonde glared at the white hair male for that.
...My Line...
"Teme!" Obito, Kakashi, and Kushina yelled.
Shisui, on the other hand, growled like the very ninkin of the Inuzuka Clan.
…My Line…
"Cat!" the Sarutobi called out.
Koharu and Homura were looking at the other teacher with narrowed eyes.
"Lord Hokage?" a cat mask wearing female appeared in front of them.
"Get Captain Tiger and tell him that I have a mission for him," the Sandaime told her.
"Understood."
The female vanished.
"So, we're going with Tenzo for Naruto's second sensei, huh?" Homura asked.
"Yes, but I am going to ask Genma to teach him in Taijutsu and weapons."
The other two nodded their heads at that.
...My Line...
'Who is this Tenzo?' they all asked themselves.
…My Line…
"There is nothing in the rules against use of a different form of Clones, Mizuki-Sensei," the Umino stated. "If we force Naruto to do the normal Clone Jutsu then we might has will make Raika Miran retake this part as well."
Mizuki didn't look happy about that, but let it go.
"Congratulations, Naruto," Iruka said with a smile. "Now please come pick a headband?"
The Uzumaki stepped up to the table and took the only black one there before bowing to the teachers and walked out of the room.
...My Line...
"That's my boy!" Kushina cheered.
"Our boy, Kushina," Minato reminded.
The redhead smiled at him before nodding.
"Right, our boy," she agreed. "Our little baby boy."
...My Line...
A brown hair male wearing a white with red markings tiger shape mask appeared in a kneeling position.
"You summoned me, Lord Hokage?" the man asked.
"Yes," the Sarutobi answered. "I have a mission for you."
This made the masking wearing shinobi to look up at him.
"Mission?"
The Hokage nodded his head as his two advisers stood off to the side.
"You won't need your mask for this mission," Hiruzen stated. "And you will be known as Yamato for the remainder of the mission."
Yamato formerly known as Tenzo and ANBU Captain Tiger took off his mask and looked up at his Hokage.
"What is the mission?" he asked.
...My Line...
"So, that was Tenzo, huh," Kakashi said as he tilted his head.
"Yes, that is him," Itachi agreed with a nod. "He is a fellow ANBU and close friend of mine."
Mikoto smiled at that as she felt pleased that her didn't isolate himself from others because of the pressure of being a Clan Heir.
...My Line...
"I need you to help Naruto Uzu...no, Naruto Senju..." the Sandaime started while Yamato gapped in shock. "With his Wood Style bloodline." The Sarutobi interlocked his fingers together and placed his chin on top of them. "Of course, I will have someone else help with his shurikenjutsu and maybe some taijutsu as well, but he needs someone to teach him about his bloodline.
"Lord Hokage, I thought that Lady Tsunade was the only Senju left," Yamato stated.
"It would seem that young Naruto is actually a Senju thanks to his use of the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai of the Shodaime," Koharu took over explaining. "However, we do not if it is his father or his mother, who has Senju blood."
"However, there is actually one other Senju, but they shill remain nameless until I deem them ready for their family name," Hiruzen stated.
The now former ANBU didn't mind not being told, who the third living Senju was, as he actually looked excited at the thought of training another Wood user.
"Do you except the mission?"
"Yes, I except it."
This made them smile at him before nodding.
...My Line...
"Father," Team Minato stated.
"Also is Heir Senju," Shisui added with a smirk. "No doubt that Raika is pleased about that."
Itachi cackled softly as he knew that the greenette didn't like the civilian council was label to kill them just to shut them up.
...My Line...
Naruto ran out of the Academy to find Raika waiting for him at their tree that has the swing that the blonde uses.
"Raika!" he called out as he ran other to her with a smile.
The Miran looked up at him before grinning upon seeing the headband that he was wearing proudly.
"You pass!" she cheered as the two hugged.
"Yup," the Uzumaki said while popping the 'P'.
"That's great," the greenette looked up at the sky in thought before she looked back at Naruto. "I am going to go shopping and then I will make us dinner so that we can celebrate together."
The Uzumaki nodded his head with a smile before waving as the Miran ran off to get the food she needed.
…My Line…
There were smiles at the scene as it showed that the two of them were really close and was much like the new Hashirama and Tobirama.
...My Line...
It wasn't long till the rest of the students came out and started to talk to their friends and families with Hitai-ates around their forehead.
"There do you see him?"
"It's that boy," a second woman said. "I heard that he's the only one, who fai..." Her eyes widen in shock at the sight of the hitai-ate on his forehead. "HE PASSED!"
"WHAT?!"
The two women stared in horror.
"Who thought it was the bright idea to make him a ninja?"
"I mean, he is the boy, who…"
"Shh. We're not allowed to talk about that."
...My Line...
Kushina started to growl as her air rose into the air and split into nine fragments while waving behind her like tails. This, of course, made those around her to move away as fast as they could as they didn't want to be on the receiving end of her fists.
…My Line…
"Iruka," the Sarutobi spoke up as they watched Mizuki appeared to talk to Naruto. "There's something we need to talk about."
...My Line...
"Iruka-Sensei is really proud that you passed, you know?" Mizuki Taji asked him as they watched the sunset.
"He is?" Naruto asked surprised.
"Yes, he is," the Taji answered. "He wants you to be strong with all his heart, but that will never happen if he goes easy on you. He's just like you, you know? No parents. No family."
"I see," the blonde sighed.
The white, blue hair man laughed a bit.
"Hey, I have something to tell you," Mizuki stated making Naruto to look at him surprise. "You know that you're the Deadlast of your class with Sasuke Uchiha as the Rookie of the Year." This made Naruto to blink. "It is tradition to put the Rookie of the Year and the Deadlast on the same team together." This made the Uzumaki mad at the thought of being on the same team as the Uchiha. "But, there is a secret way for you become the Rookie of the Year instead. And I'm going to let you in on it."
'A secret?'
…My Line…
"I don't like this," Obito said as he looked. "Something about that man seems off to me."
"I for once find myself agreeing with Obito on this," Kakashi added.
The adults all narrowed their eyes as they felt the same way as the two pre-teens.
...My Line...
Iruka laid in his bed while looking up at the ceiling later that night.
…My Line…
"Iruka," the Sandaime spoke.
"What is it…Lord Hokage?"
"I know how you feel," Hiruzen told him. "You grew up just like Naruto without knowing the love of a mother and father. The warmth of a family."
…My Line…
"Huh…"
"He has a cousin, ya know!"
"God damn it, Sandaime-sama."
"Really?"
…My Line…
His mind went back to that day before there was a knock on his door.
"Iruka-Sensei!" Mizuki was heard making his eyes widen. "Wake up!"
"What?" he asked as he opened the door. "What is it?"
"You need to come to Lord Hokage's right away," the white hair man told him. "It's Naruto. He stole the Scared Scroll."
"You mean the Scroll of Sealing?" Iruka asked in shock. "NO!"
...My Line...
"Say, Lord Minato," Shisui spoke up.
"Yes?"
"You really need to ramp up security around that scroll," the Uchiha Heir answered.
The Senju let out a sigh as he nodded his head.
"Or rename it," the Uchiha couple deadpanned.
"More like rename it and ramp up security," Team Minato said.
The master of the body flicker pointed at the three pre-teens of the past.
"What they said," he stated while nodding.
There were snorts at that though the blonde was making a mental note of the ideas.
...My Line...
"Let's see," the blonde mumbled under his breath. "The first one is Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu…" He blinked before putting a hand on his head. "Ah! Not this again? This is my worst Jutsu!" The Uzumaki than blinked in surprise. "Hold on? Isn't that the jutsu that Raika uses because she like me has too much chakra?'
Naruto looked back at the jutsu in thought before he made a Wood Clone to copy down a technique that he noticed was made by the Nidaime Hokage, but expanded on by the Yondaime with a few of the Nidaime's water style jutsus. The blonde, himself, however, practice the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu that he can add to his jutsu list.
...My Line...
"Kushina..."
"Obito..."
"Stop processing..."
"Our son."
"Minato-sensei's son!" both Rin and Minato said at the same time.
"Why are you blaming us for?" the two in question asked.
This got them deadpan stares from the others.
"Maybe because what Naruto is doing is a move that you two would pull," Mikoto stated sarcastically.
This made the Uzumaki and Uchiha pre-teen to pout.
...My Line...
"Lord Hokage, this isn't just a prank," a ninja stated. "This is a serious crime."
"That Scroll contains secrets sealed by the Shodaime Hokage," another added. "Secrets known only to our village."
"If it falls into the wrong hands they can destroy our way of life," a third Ninja stated as Iruka and Mizuki ran up.
"Alright," Hiruzen sighed. "Bring Naruto here at once!"
"Sir!"
...My Line...
They all narrowed their eyes at that, but didn't say anything.
...My Line...
Iruka came to a stop on top of a building panting.
'Where did he go?'
...My Line...
"Iruka is the coolest!" Shisui cheered.
Itachi looked at him with raised eyebrow.
"Don't let Raika hear you say that, Shisui," the Heir of the Uchiha deadpanned.
This made his older cousin/best friend to laugh nervously.
"You won't tell her…right?" the Teleporter asked. "Right Itachi?" All said male did was smirk at him. "Please?"
Itachi just turned away from the now whimpering teen while Obito was cackling.
"Wimp," Kakashi coughed.
Shisui's head snapped over the silver hair Jonin with a glare.
"YOU do NOT know how VICIOUS Raika is when getting PAYBACK," he told the technically older male.
Kushina had a smile of pride on her face.
...My Line...
Mizuki could be found running through the village as well.
'Now that I've told everyone what Naruto did, I can eliminate him,' he thought. 'They'll be glad his gone and of course, I keep the scroll for myself.'
...My Line...
"Traitor!" Shisui, Obito, and Rin yelled.
...My Line...
"It's all over," Iruka laughed as he walked up to a panting Naruto.
"Got me already," Naruto laughed. "Not bad. Your quick Sensei. I only had time to learn one technique."
'He's been out here practicing,' Iruka thought. 'I can tell how hard he's been working.'
"Listen Iruka-Sensei!" the blonde said. "I'm going to show you this amazing jutsu and you're going to let me graduate then everything is going to be okay. That's the way it works, right? Anyone, who learns a jutsu, from this scroll passes!"
"Huh? Where did you get that idea?"
"Mizuki-Sensei told me about it, ya know," the Uzumaki answered. "He told me where to find this scroll and this place…"
'Huh? Mizuki?'
Just then the sounds of something flying through the air was heard making Iruka to gasp. The Umino pushed him out of the way and took the kunai that was thrown that then pinned him to a shade just behind the two making the Senju to stop and gasp in shock.
"I see you found our little hide away," a familiar voice said.
"So, that's the way it is, huh?" the Umino groaned as he looked up. "I should have known."
"Naruto, give me the Scroll now!" Mizuki called out.
"Wait a minute?" the blonde asked as he looked between his two Teachers. "What's going on here?"
"Naruto, don't let Mizuki get the scroll!" Iruka said as he pulled out a kunai. "It contains Forbidden Jutsu that can put this village in danger. Mizuki used you to get the scroll for himself. For his own power!"
This made the Uzumaki to narrow his eyes.
"Naruto," Mizuki spoke up. "Iruka is just trying to scare you because he doesn't want you to have the Scroll."
"Huh?"
"Stop lying Mizuki! Don't let him trick you, Naruto."
This just made the other male to laugh.
"Oh, I'll tell you, who is really lying."
"NO MIZUKI!"
"They've been lying to you, your whole life, Naruto," Mizuki went on as if Iruka didn't speak. "Since the decree 12 years ago."
"What decree?"
"Everyone knows it expect you," Mizuki stated. "Iruka would try and hide it from you even now. He would do anything to shut me up."
"What is this decree?" Naruto asked. "Why does everybody else know about?"
"Don't tell them!" Iruka yelled. "It's Forbidden."
"The decree is that no one could tell you that the Kyuubi no Kitsune is inside you," Mizuki went on while completely ignoring Iruka. "The Fox Spirit that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village has taken over your body. You are the Kyuubi no Kitsune!"
"Stop it!"
"They've all been sneaking around, hiding things from you, your whole life," Mizuki added. "Didn't you think it was strange how they treated you? Like dirt. Like they hated you just for being alive."
"No, no, no, no, no," Naruto chanted as his Chakra became visible.
"Naruto."
"That's why you'll never be expected in this village," Mizuki stated. "Even your beloved Sensei hates your guts. Hell, even your dear, kind, and loving best friend hates you for taking away her parents."
Iruka then groaned as pain raced through his leg.
…My Line…
"I'm sorry," the 15-year-old Jonin spoke up. "But, did he just…"
"Yes he did," Itachi answered with a nod.
"He is dead," the two friends growled.
...My Line...
"Iruka," the Sarutobi said as he stood across from the Academy Teacher. "Naruto never had a Mother or Father to care for him." Iruka looked down at that. "Naruto is shunned out of everything, and he doesn't even know why. Most people won't even look at him." Hiruzen let out a sigh. "How would you feel if everywhere you went people would turn their backs on you? That's why he gets in trouble. So, people would notice him. It may not show, but he's always thinking about the family that he doesn't have. He's hurting inside and there is only so much that Raika can do to help him."
...My Line...
"True that," Shisui agreed as he could count the number of times his little kohai had complained to him about being both mother and best friend of the young blonde.
…My Line…
"Die Naruto!" Mizuki yelled as he threw a giant shuriken at the blonde.
The Uzumaki started to move away from the shuriken.
"NARUTO!" Iruka yelled. "GET DOWN!"
Naruto covered his head, but he looked up when he didn't feel any pain. Mizuki could only stare in surprise with Iruka covering the blonde with his body and the shuriken was sticking out of his back.
"W-Why?"
"Because...we're the same," Iruka answered. "When I lost my parents no one seemed to care. They didn't have time for me. They just forgot that I was there. My grades dropped. I became the class clown. I just wanted them to see me and to know my name. My schoolwork wasn't good enough to get their attention, so I did crazy things and then I had to pay for it. It was hard." Naruto could only stare in shock. "I know that's how you feel, Naruto. You feel lonely and it hurts inside, and I could have been there for you more." Naruto sat up a bit as Iruka cried silent tears. "I've let you down. I'm sorry. No one should have to sufferer that much. No one should be alone like that."
"Don't make me laugh!" Mizuki yelled with laughter in his voice. "Iruka has always hated you. He was orphaned because the Kyuubi killed his parents and now that beast is inside of you. He'll say anything to get the scroll from you."
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled as the blonde took off. "NARUTO!"
Mizuki cackled as he jumped down.
"You know once he makes up his mind nothing can change it," the white hair male stated. "He's going to take the scroll and get revenge on the Village. You saw the look in his eyes, didn't you? Those are the eyes of a beast."
The Umino then pulled out the shuriken from his back as he stood up.
"No," he breathed. "Naruto is nothing like that!"
He then spun around and flung the shuriken back at Mizuki, who just dodge.
"You're a joke," Mizuki stated. "As soon as I eliminate Naruto and get the scroll, I'll be back for you."
'I won't let you,' Iruka thought with a growl.
…My Line…
"I want to be Iruka's Jonin Sensei!" the 22-year-old Uzumaki called out.
"I'll talk to the Sandaime about it," Minato told her.
"Thank you, love," she thanked him with a bright smile.
...My Line...
"This is not good," the Sandaime said as he could be seen watching everything through his Crystal Ball. "Mizuki has a big mouth. He made Naruto feel so bad, worst then he ever felt, it could unleash the power from within him. If Naruto keeps tampering with the Scroll the seal that locks the Fox Spirit inside of him could be broken and the beast could come out. If that happens...I fear for us all."
"I told you that you should have told him sooner, Hiruzen," Homura deadpanned.
"While Homura is right," Koharu intervened. "We still have to figure out what to tell the village about Naruto's ability to use Wood Style."
"I was planning on telling Naruto to wait until the Chunin Exams to show case that ability," Hiruzen informed her. "Also, it would seem that Raika and Naruto are cousins."
"How?" his two teammates asked in surprise.
The Hokage handed them a file and the two went through it.
"Minato was Tsunade's missing son?" Koharu asked in shock.
"Did you inform her?"
"I sent word with our fastest hawk, but she has not sent word back yet."
"You know," Homura said as he looked thoughtful. "That would explain why Lord Ryurama had an interest in Minato." This made the other two to look at him. "He must have felt the Senju Chakra that was flowing through the Yondaime's pathways."
The other two looked surprised that they didn't figure it out sooner.
…My Line…
"That is true," Rin agreed with a nod.
"Naruto is very strong willed," Shisui added.
"Looking are you, Obito," the Nohara said as she glared at her friend.
Everyone snorted as the Uchiha Chunin pouted.
…My Line…
Iruka was running through the forest looking for Naruto.
"Naruto!" he called out when he spotted him. "Everything Mizuki said was a lie! Give me the scroll hurry! He's coming after you to take it away!" The blonde then pushed off a branch and rammed his shoulder into the brown hair male's stomach making them to hit the ground. "It can't be." The Uzumaki removed the scroll from his back and then fell against a tree. "How did you know Naruto…" Iruka then turned around to glare. "How did you know…" There was a cloud of smoke and Iruka turned into Mizuki. "That it was me and not Iruka?"
The 12-year-old laughed before another cloud of smoke was seen and when it cleared Naruto was Iruka.
"Because I'm Iruka," the Umino answered with a smirk.
"You're a fool," Mizuki told Iruka as he stood up. "Why are you are protecting that freak? He's the one, who whipped out your family."
"I don't care what you say," Iruka stated. "You're not getting your hands on that scroll."
"As if you could stop me," the white hair man exclaimed. "Don't you get? Naruto is just like me."
"How's that?"
"He wants the scroll for his own power and his own vengeance that's how beast are," Mizuki answered. "He'll pure all his rage into the scroll and destroy everything."
"Your right," Iruka seemed to agree.
…My Line…
"Is there a reason that he agreed with him?" the Nohara asked.
"I think so."
...My Line...
This made Naruto to gasp.
"So, it's true," Naruto breathed. "Iruka-Sensei never believed me. He thinks that I'm some kind of beast. Like I am some kind of...freak."
…My Line…
"That is how beasts are, but that's not how Naruto is," the brown hair male went on. "He's nothing like that. Naruto's one of a kind, works hard, puts his whole heart into it. Sure, he messes up sometimes and everyone jumps on him, but his suffering only makes him stronger. That's what separates him from being a beast. So, your wrong. He's nothing like the Kyuubi no Kitsune. He's Naruto Uzumaki of Konohagakure."
…My Line…
"Oh, so he was agreeing with the beast part, but not the part about Naruto," the brunette stated in surprise.
There were nods at that.
...My Line...
Naruto could be seen crying.
...My Line...
"Crybaby," the silver hair pre-teen deadpan.
"Do not even start with that, Bakashi," Obito growled at him as he stood up to glare.
"Obito sit down!" Rin ordered. "And Kakashi keep your mouth shut!"
"Since for Naruto it was the first time someone other than Raika had said something like that," Shisui added as he glared at the Hatake.
"Especially seeing as Shisui is dead by this time and I have no idea where I am," Itachi stated.
This made the Hatake to look down as he realized that his words sounded heartless.
"Sorry," he apologized softly. "Sensei, Kushina."
The two of them looked at him before ruffling up his hair to show that he was forgiven.
…My Line…
"You really believe that dribble?" Mizuki asked as he removed his last giant shuriken. "Iruka, I was going to save you for later, but I changed my mind." He then started to spin the shuriken around. "YOUR FINISH!"
'So, this is it,' Iruka thought before a knee nailed him in his chin making the shuriken go off course. 'Naruto.'
The Umino looked shock at the sight of him as he stood facing off against Mizuki.
"Not bad for a little punk and an outsider," the white hair male stated.
"If you ever lay a hand on my Sensei," Naruto growled. "I'll kill you."
"Such big words," Mizuki said. "I can completely destroy you with a signal move."
"Give it your best shot fool," the blonde stated as he had made a cross sign with his pointing and middle fingers of both hands. "I'll give it back to you a thousand folds!"
"Let's see you try!" the Rogue Chunin yelled. "Show me what you can do Kyuubi no Kitsune!"
"SHADOW CLAN JUTSU!"
Surrounding Mizuki was over a thousand clones of Naruto.
'Naruto,' Iruka thought. 'Those aren't just illusions. Their solid clones. He's mastered an extremely advance Jutsu.
Mizuki was freaking out as he looked around him at the clones of the blonde.
"What is this?" he asked as he fall onto his ass.
"If you're not coming."
"Then we'll come after you."
The white hair male let out a scream as Naruto and his clones moved in and started to beat the rogue Chunin.
"Sorry, I got carried away," Naruto laughed as Mizuki laid at his feet badly beaten. "You okay, Iruka?!"
"Yeah," the Academy teacher answered with a smile. 'He's amazing. He wants to surpass all of the Hokage and I'm starting to believe that he just might do it.' "Naruto. Come here for a minute? I've got something I want to give you."
…My Line…
"That a boy, Naruto!" Kushina and Mikoto cheered.
Fugaku let out a sigh while the 22-year-old Senju smiled softly.
...My Line…
"You're telling me that no one can find Naruto?" a ninja asked as they all stood outside of the Hokage Tower.
"Not a clue."
"This is bad news. We've got to smoke him out or something."
"There's no longer any need to worry," the Sandaime told them as he walked up with Hinami.
"Lord Hokage?"
"The Scrolls safe," he informed them. "Naruto will be back soon."
…My Line…
"Naruto better not have gotten into too much trouble," Rin stated.
"I don't think that Raika is that heartless, Nohara-san," Shisui informed.
The Nohara nodded her head in agreement at that while the rest smiled at the faith that the Uchiha teen has in his once upon a time student.
...My Line...
"Sensei?" Naruto asked as he fought to keep his eyes closed. "How much longer?"
"Alright," Iruka spoke up. "You can open your eyes now." The blonde did just that only to see that the brown hair Chunin was without his forehead protector giving him a smile. "Congratulation. You graduate." The Uzumaki could only stare in shock at him. "And to celebrate I have a surprise. We're going out for roman tonight." When Naruto didn't say anything, Iruka blinked. "Huh?"
"IRUKA-SENSEI!" the blonde yelled as he tackled the man.
"Ow, that hurts."
'Naruto, this is only the beginning,' Iruka thought as the two males messed around. 'The road gets tougher now that you're a ninja, but if I told you that I guess it would ruin the moment. So, I'll tell you later...over some roman.'
…My Line…
The scene went black at that as the Senju Heir stood up and stretched.
"Snacks everyone?" Minato asked.
"Yes!" they all answered as they shot up from, they're seats.
The sunshine blonde Senju laughed as he led the group into the kitchen where they all went about making popcorn and drinks.
