Chapter 1: Prologue

Three figures were silently walking through the dense forestation surrounding them, the three of them were mere genin participating in the annual Chunin Exams.

The team consisted of two shinobi and one Kunoichi, the standard arrangement for genin teams in Konoha. Among the three was a young ninja named Naruto Uzumaki, he walked behind his two other teammates with the sole purpose of covering their flanks.

Naruto was a young man with spiky blonde hair and whiskered cheeks, in front of him were his two other teammates, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha. The blonde genin trod across the forest attempting to be stealthy, but his outfit prevented him from doing so considering the fact that he wore a full and bright orange jumpsuit, a colour not really suited for camouflage.

In front of him was his Kunoichi teammate, Sakura Haruno. The young pinkette wore a bright red dress, this probably wasn't the best outfit for a ninja especially in their current environment. Much like Naruto's orange jumpsuit, Sakura's red dress prevented her from concealing herself from possible enemies or attackers.

Finally at the front of the line was the last Uchiha himself, unlike the other two Sasuke had simple yet effective clothes. The raven haired boy wore a long sleeved dark blue shirt along with brown shorts, it didn't stand out as easily as an orange jumpsuit or a red dress. He stayed at the front of the group mainly because of his Sharingan, it helped him detect any possible enemies up ahead.

The three of them were completely silent, they didn't want to attract any unwanted attention. They simply went about their business, hoping to sneak up on another group of genin to steal their scroll.

"Fūton: Daitoppa" a sinister voice yelled out.

"What the hell?" yelled Naruto as the three began to feel a sudden gust of wind directed at them, they knew this wasn't just some strange weather, it was obviously an attack.

The three genin shielded themselves from the powerful winds, they were being pushed back slowly but they used their strength to keep their feet on the ground. Suddenly the wind stopped as a large plume of smoke appeared in front of the three genin.

"What? More enemies?" said Sasuke as he examined the three mysterious genin.

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as he saw the ninja in the middle of the three, 'It's that creepy Kusa guy from earlier on' he said to himself.

Naruto was extremely annoyed by the surprise attack, after dusting himself off he faced with the Kusa ninja with an angry scowl, "Hey you bastard, I'll get you for that. I will kick your ass" he yelled.

The Kusa ninjas didn't pay attention to the loud blonde, instead the creepy Kusa ninja faced his two teammates, "You two just go and play around somewhere else, I'll take care of these three" he said.

The other two nodded before disappearing, both Naruto and Sasuke scowled as they saw how confident the Kusa ninja seemed to be.

The Kusa ninja examined the three of them, 'I thought my wind attack would've separated the three of them, oh well it makes no difference, they're only genin anyway' he thought to himself before grabbing something from his pouch.

He raised his hand to show the three genin his scroll, "If I'm not mistaken the three of you have a heaven scroll, and I have an earth scroll in my possession. How about we fight for each other's scrolls, with our lives on the line" he said before placing the scroll back in his pocket.

The mysterious ninja then began to unleash and flare his chakra, both Sakura and Sasuke began to tremble in fear as they fell to the ground, they couldn't believe how powerful his killer intent was. The only one who remained unaffected was Naruto, he continued to stand his ground as he stared down at the Kusa ninja, he too felt his power but he was not intimidated one bit. One thing was clear for the genin of Team Seven, the Kusa ninja was no ordinary genin.

The mysterious ninja stared at his three opponents, he was quite impressed by the blonde's ability to withstand his killer intent, only the strongest or the bravest of ninjas were able to oppose the killer intent of a Sannin.

"Kukuku I'm impressed that you're still standing. I may have underestimated you brat. What's your name brat?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm the future Hokage of Konoha. You're going to regret attacking us you creepy bastard" he yelled back.

"You may have been able to withstand my killer intent brat, but don't get cocky. You three pose no threat to me"

Naruto crossed his arms as he stared into the Kusa ninja, he failed to notice the state of his two teammates. For once Sasuke laid down on the floor, he couldn't find the strength or the courage to stand up and face the Kusa ninja, the killer intent of their attacker proved to be too much.

Sakura was in the same position, she was too frightened by the Kusa ninja but she was surprised at how Naruto managed to stay calm after the enormous amount of killer intent. She gazed at her raven haired teammate and she could barely believe how much fear was in his eyes.

'For Sasuke-kun to panic this much, I've never seen him like this' she thought to herself.

It was then Naruto turned to his teammates, he was shocked to see them trembling in fear, "Hey guys what's the matter with you? Stand up and let's fight this guy, let's show him whose boss" he exclaimed.

Sasuke simply glared at his blonde teammate, "Dobe are you fucking crazy? Did you not feel his killer intent? We need to run away from this guy, he'll kill us" he said.

The Kusa ninja laughed sadistically, "You should listen to him brat. Prey should always be trying their best to run away, when in the presence of a predator" he declared.

Sasuke regained his composure, he stood up from the ground and grabbed the scroll in his pouch; "We'll give you our scroll if you promise to leave us alone" he said as he held up the scroll.

Naruto's eyes widened in shock, he turned to his teammate and punched him straight in the face. Sakura was surprised to see Naruto attack Sasuke, "Naruto you baka what are you doing? Why did you attack Sasuke-kun?" she screamed in anger.

Naruto ignored Sakura's outburst, instead he stared at Sasuke with a cold stare enough to make his spine shiver.

"Sasuke what the hell are you doing? Why would you give the scroll to the enemy?" he yelled.

Sasuke wiped the blood away from his mouth as he glared at Naruto, "Do you not understand the situation were in. We are about to die, we need to give him the scroll".

Naruto walked closer to Sasuke and punched him again, "Who the hell are you and what did you to the real Sasuke?"

"What the fuck are you talking about dobe?"

"The real Sasuke wouldn't give up in a time like this, you must be a fake Sasuke or something. The Sasuke I knew was no coward

Sasuke's eyes widened, he couldn't believe Naruto's words, and worse he couldn't believe what he had just tried to do. He was no coward, he was Sasuke Uchiha and he didn't back down from anybody.

The last Uchiha stood back up to the ground before walking to Naruto's right side, the two simply glanced at each other and nodded, this was a sign of their acknowledgement for one another.

Naruto looked down this time to glance at his longtime crush, "Sakura-chan please go and look for a place to hide; we'll take care of this" he said.

Sakura shook her head before also standing up from her spot, "You don't tell me what to do Naruto, I'm a Kunoichi and I can handle myself. I won't let you guys risk your lives while I run away, I'm sticking here to help you two whether you like it or not" she declared before walking to Naruto's other side.

Naruto chuckled softly, "I guess there's no persuading you is there?" he asked.

Sakura grinned as she shook her head, "Remember what Kakashi-sensei said, those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum. I am not abandoning you guys" she said.

The three were broken from their conversation as they heard a sarcastic applause, there was no surprise that it came from their attacker, the mysterious Kusa ninja.

"What a touching display, once again you impress me Naruto-kun, this time you managed to rally the troops, too bad all of you are going to die" he said.

The Kusa ninja unsheathed his sword as he ran at the three ninjas, from the three genin Sasuke was the first to act.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu"

The Kusa ninja stopped in his tracks, he was unimpressed by the size of the fireball. He went through his own hand seals to counter this attack.

"Doton: Doryūheki"

A large stone wall emerged from the ground blocking the fire attack, Naruto was next to jump into action. The young blonde formed a familiar hand seal, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" he yelled.

Around about fifty Naruto clones popped up and all of them ran at the Kusa ninja, the mysterious attacker was inwardly impressed at the young man's ability to already use shadow clones.

But unfortunately for Naruto the Shadow Clones were not enough, the Kusa ninja quickly disposed of them without even breaking a sweat.

Naruto jumped back to his two teammates, he was shocked to see his shadow clones all effortlessly taken care off. Sakura saw the Kusa ninja approaching them, she began to form a genjutsu to keep him distracted.

The Kusa ninja scoffed at the weak attempt, he simply brushed the Genjutsu off. Sasuke grit his teeth in frustration, he summoned another fireball at the attacker but one again it was to no effect, he simply dodged the attack.

"Kukukuku you brats are impressive for ninjas your age, but you still aren't a match for me. Don't worry I'll make sure your deaths are quick" he declared.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu"

The three genin stared in awe as large puff of smoke appeared, within the smoke an even larger creature sprung forth. The ground around them trembled as a gigantic snake slithered closer to the three genin. Before any of them could dodge, the snake used its tail to swipe at the genin.

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were sent flying into different directions, each crashing into a tree. They barely had the strength to move, their body screamed out in pain from the impact.

"Kukuku thanks for your help Manda, feel free to eat the other brats, I'll take care of Sasuke-kun" he said before jumping off the snake's head.

Using his sensory abilities, the Kusa ninja found Sasuke's chakra signature. He slowly walked over to the Uchiha, and he was surprised to see him standing, albeit gingerly.

"Hello again Sasuke-kun"

Sasuke grabbed the kunai in his holster, "What do you want with me you freak? Come here to kill me? Or are you here for the scroll?"

"None of the above Sasuke-kun, I just came here to offer you a parting gift of sorts" he said.

Before Sasuke could reply, the Kusa ninja ran at him. In desperation, Sasuke summoned his Sharingan once more. He threw a Fuma Shuriken at his opponent, along with a kunai.

The Kusa ninja effortlessly caught kunai projectiles with his teeth while dodging the large shuriken, but in the last second his eyes widened as he noticed the wires attached to them. He turned back to Sasuke only to see the Uchiha grinning madly, "Time to die" he yelled.

"Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu"

Fire made its way to the ninja wires through the wires, the attack connected as it burned the Kusa ninja's face, Sasuke smirked victoriously as he watched the man burn. But then Sasuke began to hear another sadistic laugh, 'Impossible how is he still alive after that?' he thought to himself.

The fire died down leaving the Kusa ninja's face burnt, but what surprised Sasuke was how it looked as if his skin was peeling off instead. Underneath the burnt face seemed to be yet another face, but this time it was unharmed by the flames.

"To be able to use the Sharingan so well at this age, I'm impressed Sasuke-kun. I really do want you Sasuke-kun, you passed my test and I can sense the power in your eyes. The power that could surpass even Itachi's"

"How the hell do you know that name? Who the hell are you? Answer me" Sasuke yelled.

The Kusa ninja's expression turned serious as ripped away the skin from his burnt face, "My name is Orochimaru and if you want the power to defeat Itachi then seek me out. Before then I will leave you with a parting gift" he said.

Orochimaru's neck extended abnormally, he reached the side of Sasuke's neck and bit it. A seal began to form around this area. Sasuke fell down onto his knees as he screamed in pain, he clutched the bitten area in pain but soon unconsciousness took over.

Orochimaru walked back over to Sasuke's unconscious body, he grabbed the scroll in his pocket and placed it in the boy's jacket.

"If you survive this Sasuke-kun then proceed to the next round, I look forward to see how you fare against the best this competition has to offer" he said before vanishing in search of the other two genin.

Orochimaru arrived back to stand on top of Manda's head, apparently the snake was yet to locate his prey. Orochimaru helped the snake by using his sensory power to locate the other two, once he pinpointed their locations he sent the snake to eat Naruto. Orochimaru on the other hand was simply going to kill Sakura himself.

Naruto clutched his torso in pain, he heard and felt the snake approach his direction, and he barely had the strength to move. Earlier on Naruto heard Sasuke's scream, he feared the worse for his friend but he feared more for Sakura. Naruto was leaning on a tree branch, and somewhere just below him was Sakura, he wanted to run to her or to call out to her but he couldn't find the strength to do so. His body couldn't take anymore punishment.

His eyes soon widened in fear, he finally saw the Kusa ninja arrive with his snake, this time though the Kusa ninja seemed to have a difference appearance. Naruto still knew it was the same person, he wore the same outfit and he had the same chakra signature.

Naruto watched on as the Kusa ninja jumped off the snake's head, his fear began to rise as he watched him approach the injured pinkette. She was in the same situation as him, she was awake but she just couldn't find it in herself to move.

Naruto grit his teeth as he attempted to stand, unfortunately for him it was to no effect. He watched closer as the Kusa ninja walked over to Sakura with his sword in hand, it didn't take a genius to know what he planned on doing. If Naruto didn't act now then Sakura was going to die, hell even he was on the verge of death as the gigantic snake also leaned closer to eat him.

Then time stopped for Naruto as everything began to happen in slow motion, while in this state he heard a familiar voice speak to him, "Hey brat I could lend you some of my power if you want" it said.

Naruto shook his head, "Shut up you stupid fox, I don't need your power. Especially after what happened in the Land of Waves" he replied.

"Come on brat think about what you're saying, right now you're on the verge of death and so are those teammates of yours. If you don't act now then they will die"

Naruto bit his bottom lip, the Kyuubi had a point there. He was desperate to save his friends, but he also knew of the dangers of using the fox's chakra.

"Make up your mind brat, the girl's getting closer and closer to death. The longer you take then you risk putting your teammate's lives in danger"

He turned his head to Sakura, he could the Kusa ninja in front of her with his sword at hand, 'What do I do? What the hell do I do? I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place' he thought to himself.

Naruto was once again broken from his thoughts as he heard the Kyuubi's booming voice, "Brat make your decision now. What is it going to be?"

Naruto sighed in defeat, desperate times called for desperate measures.

"Do it Kyuubi" he yelled back.

The fox chuckled darkly, "Good answer brat" it said before injecting Naruto with his power. Red chakra began to form around Naruto's body, it began to take the shape of a fox. The red chakra began to heal Naruto's wounds, the young blonde then found the strength once more to stand.

The snake lunged to eat its prey, but before it reached Naruto, the young genin disappeared. He ran as fast as he can and he appeared within a few seconds in front of Orochimaru, he cocked back his fist and struck the Sannin in the body sending him flying through the trees. He arrived just in time to save Sakura from her death, the pink haired Kunoichi could only stare in shock and disbelief.

"Naruto is that really you?" she asked.

Naruto gave no answer, instead he rushed to attack the gigantic snake. Once again he cocked his fist back to prepare his attack, he jumped high up into the air to face the snake, once in this position he punched the summoned creature.

Manda fell to the ground before disappearing with a plume of smoke, Orochimaru soon arrived back in the area in shock as he watched Naruto effortlessly dispose of Manda.

The gears in his head began to turn as he examined Naruto, "What an intriguing turn of events, it seems as though the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki lives. I would have never expected for you to be that Jinchuuriki, Naruto-kun" he said.

Naruto sensed Orochimaru's return, he turned back to face his opponent this time he went down on all fours. He ran at Orochimaru completely blinded by his rage, his only goal right now was to kill the Sannin and nothing more, after what he did to his team Orochimaru deserved nothing less.

Naruto made sure to take the battle to an area where Sakura wouldn't be affected, his goal was protect his teammates and obviously he didn't want Sakura to get hurt. In his one tailed state, Naruto managed to challenge Orochimaru, but unfortunately for him it was not enough.

He was still lacking power if he wanted to defeat Orochimaru, soon in act of further desperation he added another tail, Orochimaru continued to hold Naruto off at bay but he knew that if Naruto continued then things could get complicated.

After a few more minutes it was clear to Naruto that he still wasn't strong enough to kill the Sannin, he knew he needed more power and so two more tails sprouted from his chakra cloak, Naruto was finally in his four tailed state.

The power radiating from Naruto seemed to engulf the village, everyone could feel this familiar power rising. It was a power Konoha hasn't felt in around twelve years.

Somewhere in the Forest of Death

A sickly smile made its way to the red haired Suna ninja, he felt the power emerging from the forest and it only served to get him excited. An uncharacteristic laugh began to emerge from the young man, 'It seems I'm not the only one here' he thought to himself. After his bloodthirsty chortling, he turned back to stare at his two frightened siblings.

"Temari, Kankuro let's go. I want to make it to the next round already" he ordered.

The two other Suna ninjas nodded their heads as they followed their little brother, neither noticed the blood thirsty smile on their brother's face.

'Mother is excited and so am I, I've yet to kill a fellow Jinchuuriki before'

Hokage's Office

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha stood behind his desk, in front of him was a collection of his most trusted ANBU officers, Jonin and Tokubetsu Jonin.

"Attention everybody I'm sure you all felt that power, I want you all to prepare and meet me by the entrance of the Forest of Death. We will investigate this power and we will put a stop to this before it comes to harm the village"

"Hai Hokage-sama"

Hiruzen nodded and dismissed the ninjas, he too prepared for what was to come. As he prepared his battle attire, worry and doubt began to creep up, he prayed to Kami that Naruto was alright. He wondered what in the world could have led to Naruto unleashing the Kyuubi's powers.

'Please Naruto, be safe'

With Naruto

Unfortunately for Naruto he still couldn't defeat Orochimaru, the Sannin simply had too much experience in battle and too much power that he managed to neutralize most of Naruto's attacks. Naruto was yet to face an opponent this powerful, he thought defeating him was simple if he used the Kyuubi's powers but apparently it wasn't as simple as he initially thought.

The two left a trail of destruction as their battle continued, Sakura simply watched from her old position in fear. She couldn't believe how much power Naruto had, and she couldn't believe how Orochimaru was yet to be defeated.

Sakura continued to watch the two fight and the longer it went, the more it seemed to be like a battle between gods. Sakura was too focused on the battle to notice the tears falling down her face, she couldn't take watching Naruto act like this. This was not like the Naruto she knew, this was not the kind or caring knucklehead of Team Seven.

Seeing Naruto in such a state just made her tick, Sakura began to push her body and force herself to stand up. It took a while but in her current state of desperation, she managed to ignore the pain.

Sakura then began to walk closer to Naruto, at the moment he was staring down Orochimaru. He didn't even sense Sakura approaching.

"Naruto that's enough, you don't have to do this anymore please" she yelled as she walked closer to her teammate.

Naruto turned his head as he saw Sakura approaching, in this current form he couldn't tell if she was an ally or a foe. Instead he roared into the sky as he used one of his tails as a whip, Sakura was hit by Naruto's tail and once again she was sent flying back to her spot.

A burning sensation began to inflict itself at her arm, but at the moment she could no longer feel the pain as she was knocked unconscious by Naruto's tail.

Naruto turned back to Orochimaru, not even sparing a glance back at Sakura. The battle between the two raged on, Naruto did his best to dispose of Orochimaru but even in this state he couldn't defeat him. This time however he was inflicting damage on the snake Sannin, the only problem was that the damage wasn't vital, he still couldn't defeat Orochimaru no matter how hard he tried.

Before Naruto could continue on with this battle, time once again seemed to have slowed down for him. Naruto blinked wondering what was going on, after a few seconds the environment surrounding him began to change, the forest was turning into some strange looking sewer.

Naruto's Mindscape

Naruto stood back in front of a massive cage, the environment around him no longer consisted of trees, and instead he seemed to be in some strange sewer rather than a dense forest. Naruto knew from past experiences that he was in his own mindscape. Earlier on when the fox lent him his power, he only spoke to him telepathically. Now apparently the fox wanted to speak to him in person.

"What do you want fox? I'm on the verge of finally beating this guy"

"Silence you fool, I called you here for a reason" the fox yelled out.

Naruto was unaffected by the fox's outburst, "Well what is it? I can't afford to waste my time especially in a situation like this" he replied.

"You don't have to worry brat, were in your mindscape. You haven't been fighting the freak for a while now, your animal instincts took over a long time ago. Unfortunately for you though it is still not enough, I have given you four tails worth of my power and at the moment it is still not enough to defeat your opponent"

"Why don't you just give me more then?"

"I would if I can, but your body cannot take any more chakra or it will die. When that happens then both of us die and there will be nobody left to protect your friends. They'll be as good as dead if that happens"

Kyuubi inwardly smiled as he saw Naruto getting worried, Naruto's dedication to his friends could be the fox's way out of the cage. All he needed to do was smooth talk his way out of this, he needed to push Naruto to the edge.

In truth he could easily add more tails for Naruto, at the moment he believed that four was the perfect number for now. It wasn't strong enough to defeat Orochimaru, and it wasn't weak enough to lose to Orochimaru, it was the perfect level of power to trick Naruto.

"What are you saying then fox? What can I do to help my friends? I can't have them die on me"

The Kyuubi raised a paw to silence Naruto, "Calm down brat and listen. Do you see the seal on my gate" he said.

Naruto examined the gate and saw the seal placed on the keyhole, he glared at the Kyuubi after locating the seal, "Yeah and what about it?" he asked suspiciously.

"If you want to save your friends then you'll have to remove it. This will allow me to give you the power to save your friends, at the moment this is the only thing stopping me from giving you more tails. You'll need to remove it if you want to defeat the snake freak"

"What's the catch?"

"There is no catch brat, if you want to protect your friends then you'll have to remove it, that's all there is to it. If you don't remove it then I can't guarantee a victory for you, and if that happens then you can say goodbye to pinkie and duck butt. So what do you say?"

"How do I know you're not just tricking me or something?"

The large fox simply shrugged, "I don't know either kid. I guess you'll just have to trust your instincts" he said nonchalantly.

Naruto began to quickly think about both pros and cons in this deal, he couldn't tell whether the fox was being honest with him or not. But despite his hesitations and reluctance to agree to the fox's deal, he was extremely worried about his fight against Orochimaru. He didn't know what to do in this situation, he couldn't bear the thought of seeing Sasuke and Sakura die. They were his teammates and deep down inside he considered his team like a family, in fact it was the closest thing he's ever had to a family.

Just the mental image of seeing his two teammates and friends deceased made his blood boil, with renewed dedication he decided to risk it all. If it backfired on him then so be it, at this moment the only thought on his mind was the safety of both Sakura and Sasuke, Naruto didn't even care about his own safety at this point.

"If I do this, can you promise me something fox?"

"Depends on what it is"

"Please kill the Kusa ninja, and please just keep my two teammates safe"

The Kyuubi was beginning to feel excited, his plan was coming to fruition and everything was working. He was close to freedom, at this moment he decided to entertain his jailer for a bit.

"Yeah sure, whatever you say"

Naruto nodded and thanked the fox, he began to walk closer to the gate until he reached its front. He failed to notice the devious grin forming on the fox's face, instead he focused on the task at hand. When he reached the front of the gate a pillar of water began to rise, it elevated Naruto to face the seal.

Naruto breathed in and out to calm his nerves, he slowly reached out to grab the corner of the seal. Slowly he began to tear the seal, the Kyuubi's eyes widened in anticipation as he watched the seal weakening.

'My return is close at hand, just a little bit more brat then I will be free. I will destroy this pathetic village' he thought to himself.

The seal was halfway removed, but before Naruto could fully tear it down he felt a hand on his shoulder. He was broken from his reverie and soon the pillar of water broke down, Naruto fell onto the floor nursing his head, he wondered what had just happened.

The Kyuubi's expression turned from excitement into anger as he watched the event unfold before his very eyes, "No, not you again. I was so close to finally being free from this shithole, but you had to come and ruin my plans" he yelled in anger.

Naruto laid on the ground still in shock, he then blinked repeatedly as he saw a hand appear right in front of him, and it offered to help him stand up. He decided to grab onto the hand and he was brought back up to his feet.

Naruto's eyes widened as he was brought face to face with the mysterious figure. The man had spiky blonde hair and bright blue eyes that went along with his standard Konoha Jonin uniform on. But what caught Naruto's eye was his long white haori, it reached down to his knees and the hem was designed with red flames.

There was no mistaking it in Naruto's eyes, he was standing in front of his childhood hero, the Yondaime Hokage. Naruto spent enough time sitting and gazing at the Hokage's Monument to know the faces of each Hokage, and the man in front of him perfectly resembled the Yondaime's face.

Naruto gulped nervously as he faced the man, everything about him matched the Yondaime Hokage but even then he still had to know if it really was him. He needed to know if he was just in one strange dream or was this reality.

"Who are you?" he asked. The Yondaime remained silent for a few seconds, instead he simply smiled proudly at Naruto. The young blonde was surprised by this gesture, he didn't know what it was but he felt warm inside as the man smiled at him. The Yondaime Hokage then kneeled down to reach Naruto's eye level.

"I'm the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze. But more importantly, I'm your father, Naruto"

Author's Note

Sorry if the fight may have been quick, I just don't think that three genin would even challenge a Sannin, despite one having the Sharingan and the other being a Jinchuuriki. In the original manga Orochimaru still defeated Naruto while he was in his four tailed mode so it made sense for Naruto to still lose to Orochimaru, but here his four tailed state isn't as strong as the one in Shippuden because Naruto didn't have Jiraiya's training.

Anyway thanks for reading my first chapter, the next one will have Naruto finally talk with his dad.
