Hey guys. um. Where to start? First off, sorry for the delay of 12 months, I, like most of you by now, completely forgot about this story and remembered, and wrote this chapter, on the day of this chapter's release. I really want to finish this story but I never can get enough motivation. My hope is that the next chapter will be at least 1,500 words. Anyhow, enjoy the chapter, 12 months in the making!

Naruto woke up the next day with a bright bounce.

"Wow! These eyes are the coolest!" He cheered.

"Kit, you don't have to go to that stupid academy today so you should train your ability to control your Deva Path." The fox in his head advised.

"Hmmm... Well, let's see how well I do."

"Wait no! Not in-" The nine-tailed demon tried saying but it was already too late as Naruto had already yelled out Shinra Tensei and blew a massive hole straight through his wall, or, what used to be his wall, "-here."

"And that was the wall that just got replaced." Naruto whined, "Oh well, guess I'll just have to visit Hokage-jiji again." and so off he went to the Hokage Tower not too far from where he lived. When he finally got up to where the office was after arguing with the guards for the twentieth time that week he slammed the door open.

"Oh, hello Naruto. What is it this time?" The ancient man said with a smile.

"Ummmm..."

"What did you break this time?"

"The wall... Again."

"... The one that you broke last week?

"Yes"

"And I thought that you had learnt that fireworks don't belong inside from last time." Sarutobi sighed.

"It wasn't even really actually my fault this time!" Naruto complained.

"Then what was it?"

"Errr..." Naruto wasn't sure what to tell his surrogate grandfather. Should he tell him about the Rinnegan or lie? But before he could decide he felt an odd sensation, like he was looking in from someone else's eyes.

"The brat here has something to show you Third Hokage." The voice came from his mouth but they weren't his words, it was then he realised it must have been Kurama talking, "Go on, show him."

Suddenly Naruto could move again. He took a deep breath and activated the Rinnegan, staring the man known as the Professor in the eye showing him something that hadn't been seen by many for a long time. Sarutobi dismissed his ANBU guards.

"So many questions..." He finally said quietly. He straightened up, cleared his throat and said, "I guess I should start with asking you who was talking just now."

Naruto shuffled nervously,"Kyuubi"

Sarutobi's eyes widened, if the Kyuubi could take control that easily then there was a problem with the seal, it has never been recorded that a jinchuuriki's body could be controlled by its demon. Furthermore, the Kyuubi hadn't shown any violence towards him or its vessel. It almost seemed... docile. Rather suddenly, he asked Naruto to lift up his shirt and to push a small bit of chakra to his stomach. What he saw, or rather what he didn't see, surprised him. The seal that supposedly was stopping the nine tailed fox from destroying the village, was non-existent. That meant, for some reason that escaped him, the feared Kyuubi no Yoko, chose to stay in the boys body. And that was just the beginning, Naruto had the what seemed like the Rinnegan, something that had never been confirmed that existed until now.

"Naruto," he asked calmly, "what do you know?"

"I know that when I was born I had the Kyuubi sealed into me which led to the villagers fearing and hating me. I also know that my eyes are called the Rinnegan, which used to belong to the Sage of Six Paths. I know that one of the abilities that these eyes give me is control over gravity, which was how my wall was destroyed, and that you know who my parents are but aren't telling me because they had many enemies." he replied calmly.

'Minato, Kushina, I'm sorry' Sarutobi thought to himself. He then looked at Naruto and studied him, before saying, "Naruto, I'm going to test you now on your abilities, if you would follow me."

They traveled up to the old training grounds for the Hokage above the Hokage Monument. Once they reached the top, Sarutobi made a shadow clone and got it to face Naruto

"All right Naruto, you be sparring against my clone, it is roughly a tenth of my strength but be careful."

Naruto nodded but looked apprehensive. Then, the Sarutobi clone charged.
