Naruto A Different Beginning

Episode 6

It is morning in the leaf village. The sun has just risen and we take a look into the mornings of 2 young people who are about to begin their lives as ninja. Both who come from clans with deep history and possess great and frigtening powers. We first look into the Clan who act as the fan for the Will of Fire as we see a young boy with raven hair named Sasuke Uchiha. He changes into usual attire of the dark blue shirt with the Uchiha Symbol on the back and White long Shorts and put on his Headband. Sasuke looked at a picture of his family. Back when his brother could be called his brother.

"Sasuke! Come and eat before your late." He heard his mother calling and went to her. As he got to the kitchen a little girl who was only three jumped at him and hugged his legs and looked up at him. She was wearing a long dark blue dress and had dark raven hair that was long and thick for a girl her age while some of it was baraded on the back and the rest combed preperly and had Onyx eyes and and had light tan skin like her mother.

"Saski! Saski! Come pway!" At the moment this little one was unable to pronounce his name properly yet.

"Miu. Settle down. Sasuke has to eat then head out soon." A woman said to her daughter as she picked her up and sat her down at the table. Sasuke looked up and saw her.

"Didn't realize you were visiting." Sasuke said to the woman who was none other than Tsume's daughter Hana.

"Well I couldn't leave Miu alone since Kiba will be getting to know his new team and Mom will be out on a mission today. I figured spending time here with Mikoto would be ok." Hana explained. Itachi and Hana had grown close over the years till the incident three years ago where the village had heard the news of the most shocking massacre since the nine tails attack. Itachi Uchiha one of the best young Shinobi and a most likely canidate to succeed Minato as Hokage had attacked and slain nearly his entire clan minus Mikoto and Sasuke. Mikoto had gone to look for Sasuke before the slaughter took place. Sasuke could never forget it. His father and nearly all his kinsmen dead and his mother was almost killed for protecting him with all her heart. He had sworn vengeance for the betrayal. Mikoto knows this and it saddened her that her son would attempt to walk a dangerous path. She almost was tempted herself till the news came from Tsume that Hana was pregnant with Miu. Then she realized and saw how blind her clan was before including her husband. She decided that if it came down to it she would deal with Itachi for Sasuke's sake as well as for her granddaughter. Miu had made her and Sasuke lighten up since not everything was lost. They still had friends supporting them. Sasuke would never admit it to anyone but Naruto was probably his only real friend despite their constant arguments and Naruto failed attempts at trying to beat him. Naruto declared him his rival and Sasuke didn't mind it so much till he heard about his recent two fights rumors that he beat Mizuki and Ebisu. Even though it was just Ebisu rambling late at night at how he lost to a mere Genin. Sasuke always had a smile for his niece but preferred her to call him big brother since he felt too young to be called Uncle. Hana was saddened to hear about Itachi's betrayal and made love to him the night of the slaughter an hour before it happened. She wasn't sure she was barely gonna turn eighteen in the following month but Itachi was convincing her that she loved her so much and he wanted to prove it to her. She loved her daughter and would cry at times when she asked about her father. Miu was her only treasure in the world. Tsume and Mikoto being the young and loving grandmothers of this child tended to spoil her but Tsume would ususally be more careless on where they went. Mikoto was glad that Hana was no where near as reckless or nuts as Tsume is and shown she was a very responsible adult and loving mother. Mikoto didn't really care what clan traditions Miu followed she was just glad to have a grandchild especially since Sasuke was gonna be on missions.

"First to be mothers now were grandmothers. I think i better make sure Miu at least waits till she's twenty one to have children." Mikoto mumbles to herself as she packed Sasuke's lunch. After eating Sasuke took his lunch and made his way to the door.

"Saski! Good luck! Fight!" Miu yelled with excitement. If she weren't around Sasuke woulda just focused on getting stronger for power but now that this little girl carrying his clans blood all he could think about was finding the strength to protect what was left of his family and avenge his father by bring Itachi back. Alive or Dead. He wasn't sure on which yet. He just hoped he'd have the answer before he finds him. Unbeknownst to him he was being watched by Minato and the Jonin that were to be sensei to the new Genin through the crystal ball.

"So that's him?" Kakashi asked Minato.

"Yes. One of the two who survived the attack. He and his mother and well I guess now the young one are all that remain of the Uchiha. Mikoto I'm not too concerned with and Little Miu is just a child so she'll be fine. Sasuke though...while he seems to have good intentions I think his brother's betrayal is what left him on a path of Twilight. There's no way to know for sure what he will decide to in the future which is why I want you to do what you can for him." Minato answered.

"Assuming him and his teammates pass my test...we'll see Lord Hokage." Kakashi replied. The Jonin continued their meeting and watch of the new genin making their way to the academy. The crystal ball now turns to the Hyuga compound. Hinata had her Ninja outfit on but couldn't decide which jacket to take the black thin one she wore the other day or her usual one. But since Naruto picked out the black one it wouldn't hurt to try a new look to at least if he would notice her more till the thought remind her that Naruto may have noticed more than what was necessary yesterday. She shook the thought out of her head. As she stepped into the hallway she saw Neji but didn't say a word as he made his way out. Things with him had been tense. He hardly speaks with her or anyone in the main household. Saya was still trying to fix the bond that her husband even now was to stubborn to do. She then saw Hanabi coming out looking like she had just woken up.

"Morning Big Sister." Hanabi said as she was scratching her eyes after waking up and yawned. Hinata smiled at her as she noticed she was drooling again in her sleep.

"Good morning Hanabi. Hold still." Hinata told her sister as she wiped her drool off. Hanabi looked at her sister and loved her dearly as well as her mother very much as for their father it was more respect than love. After the incident with the Cloud village rather than closing the ties of the two households it turned into a separation. Hiashi had changed into the kind of clan head the elders expected him to be. Saya at times wished he'd just stop being so stubborn and go back to how he was before but losing his brother has left a scar that wouldn't heal. She wouldn't tell her friends or even her daughters but she's worried that if something doesn't change soon she may end up leaving Hiashi. It was hard for her to stay with the man she loved if there wasn't anymore love. She stared at the documents that were clearly for a divorce. She was struggling with a decision till she heard her daughters come in and quickly hid them in her secret compartment of her and Hiashi's room.

"Oh, girls. Good morning." She told them with her usual smile.

"There it is again." Hinata thought. Hinata had a natural talent for seeing when people would force a smile compared to a real one. Hinata really wish she could see her mother give a real smile again instead of hiding behind these fake smiles like Naruto would do at times to hide his pain and worries from friends and family. For Hanabi's sake she keot quiet about it. "Good morning mother." they both said as she hugged her two girls.

"I'll wait a little longer." Saya said to herself. No would believe under her kindness and smile she had been suffering from so much sadness with her husband in these last few years but for her daughters sake she was willing to try and at least save her marriage and prevent it from failing and hopefully at the same time save her clan from destroying itself with the way tensions are with alot of the main and side familes. "You ready to begin your Ninja duties Hinata?"

"Yes mother. Just watch. I'll be strong like father and kind like you." Hinata replied hoping to cheer her mother up if only a little. Saya smiled at her.

"I know you'll be great sweety."

"What about me mama?" Hanabi asked as Saya giggled.

"Of course you too Hanabi. You two are going to grow into beautiful young women and Kunoichi." She replied just then Ko appeared.

"Forgive my intrusion Lady Saya but it is almost time for Lady Hinata to go to the academy." He said. Ko was probably one of the few members of the side families who didn't care about the clan feud. He has tried on many occasions to get Neji to let go of his hate and stop being the potential trigger that could lead to civil war between the Hyuga clan but to avail.

"Oh yes. Thank you Ko. Is there anything else?" Saya asked the loyal Hyuga.

"Yes later today the elders would like you and Lord Hiashi present for a meeting and I am to train Lady Hanabi today." Ko replied.

"Alright then. I'll send Hanabi to you after breakfast." She told him as he respectfully bowed and left. "You better get going before you're late. Wouldn't want to keep Naruto waiting, right?" She said teasingly to her daughter fully aware of her crush.

"M-M-M-Mother!" Hinata replied as she blushed and turned red as a tomatoe. She bid her farewells and ran out to meet up with Naruto. Speaking of him he had just shown up at the meeting place and waited for Hinata in the middle of the distract that was five minutes away from the Hyuga compund and ten minutes away from the academy. Needless to say he was very sore from his mother's punishment work outs. Hinata had just shown and saw his headband was crooked. "Naruto are you okay?" She asked as she fixed his headband and put it on properly for him on his forehead.

"Yeah. Just my mom's punishment workouts left me sore." He groggily replied.

"Got in trouble again?" She asked.

"Yeah. All cause of yesterday." Naruto replied making hinata think it was cause someone ratted him out for the bathhouse incident and she blushed again.

"S-Sorry. I didn't mean for you to get in trouble."

"Huh? What are you...oh." Naruto recalling what he saw at the bathhouse and blushed. "H-Hey forget about it! Let's just pretend it didn't happen okay?" Naruto was saying with an embarrassed look as Hinata agreed to. As they were about to head to the Academy.

"NARUTO!" Yelled a certain blonde girl as she glomped him making Naruto wince in pain from his sore muscles.

"Ino! What are you doing here?" He asked trying to ignore the pain.

"I came to tell you that no matter what Iruka said you're still a...hey why are you wearing a headband?" She was gonna try to woo him with some sympathy since she heard he failed the exam.

"Oh, right I forgot the only one I told about this was Hinata." Naruto siad in his thoughts.

"Well, some stuff happened and I was able to use an advanced Jutsu and Iruka Sensei saw it and officially allowed me to graduate." Naruto told a really shorten versioned of the whole situation.

"Wow, that's awesome! I knew he made a mistake! Oh~ i think i've fallen even more in love with you Naruto!" Ino proclaimed as she clung to him.

"Come on let's go to the academy. Maybe we'll be on the same team!" Ino told him as she felt Naruto get pulled away from her.

"He was walking with me to the academy first Ino." Said an annoyed turning into jealousy Hinata as she clung to Naruto's right arm.

"Love always makes exceptions Hinata." Replied an equally annoyed Ino as she grabbed his left arm. Narut was now in the middle of a potential cat fight as Hinata and Ino gave each other glares.

"I was here first!" Hinata yelled.

"I had dibs on him first!" Ino yelled back.

"Can't all three of us just walk together?" Naruto asked hoping to end the fight before it escalated.

"NO!" They both yelled in unison. The fight continued for awhile. If Kiba hadn't shown up to help push things along they woulda been late. Naruto entered the classroom behind the girls and sighed heavily cause he made it on time.

"Hey, Naruto why are you here? Only graduates are supposed to be here." Naruto turned to see it was Shikamaru sitting next to chouji telling him that.

"Take a look up here." Naruto replied and pointed to his headband.

"You gotta be kidding me. How did you pull that off?" Shikamaru asked not believing what he's seeing. Then Ino glomped him again.

"Isn't he just amazing! Pulling an underdog win like this and surprising us!"

"Get off him Ino!" Hinata yelled trying to yank Ino off her crush but all that yanking was causing her to hold on to his throat.

"Can't...breathe..." Naruto said as his face slowly turned blue.

"I see you made it on time Ino pig!." Ino looked up and saw her old fried and former rival when was part of the sasuke fan club Sakura Haruno.

"Well, Well if it isn't Bill Board Brow!" Ino replied as they stared each other down. She may be her love rival anymore but they were still rivals in general. Ino having two rivals is what drives her to be stronger. Hinata was also worried since rumors of Naruto having a crush on the pinked haired girl spread like wildfire so Hinata saw her as a rival. The three had a three way stare down with lightning shocks connecting then from the foreheads. The one who started the rumor was actually Naruto himself in a failed attempt out do Sasuke. Kinda wished he hadn't done cause since then Hinata would get a little over protective whenever he tried to so much as say hi and it got worse after Ino started chasing after him by trying to make him look her way with basic Kunoichi seduction techniques. Naruto talked to her a few times before and she often reminds him of Tsunade when lost her temper.

"Yeah will you can keep Sasuke Bill Board Brow! Bleh!" Ino told her as she stuck out her tongue.

"Fine I will you skanky pig! Bleh!" Sakura yelled back while Inner Sakura "CHA! HELL YA! SCORE ONE FOR ME!"

"Alright I'm gonna go sit down." Naruto said as he started making his down to his desk where unfortunatley Sasuke picked a bad time to get up to go to the bathroom. As he was heading up Naruto missed the first step of the stairs causing him to fall down to the unsuspecting Sasuke till he looked up and saw it was too late to dodge and was about to scream and panic as did Naruto till SMACK! followed by a SMOOCH! where after they disconnected they both fell to the floor and quickly got back up feeling like puking their brains out. The whole class was in shock more so for Hinata, Ino, and Sakura cause the first kiss was forever out of their reach. "OH GOD! I JUST LOST MY FIRST KISS!"

"WHOSE FAULT DO YOU THINK THAT IS!?" Sasuke yelled.

"YOURS! IF YOU HADN'T GOTTEN UP I WOULDA JUST HIT THE FLOOR YOU JERK!"

"IT WAS YOURS CAUSE YOU TRIPPED AND FELL!"

"GIMME BACK MY PURITY!" Naruto yelled till he felt a massive killing intent from Sakura and the Sasuke fan club. Sakura pops her knuckles and she looked like a demon where as Ino and Hinata called a temporary truce to make Sasuke pay for taking Naruto's first kiss that they were trying to get.

"Naruto...you are so dead!" Sakura said menacingly.

"Sasuke. I never thought you would be...that kind of person." Hinata said as her anger of over the issue made her think Sasuke intentionally did that.

"Taking my prize away calls for a special service you closet homo!" Ino yelled. Naruto and Sasuke felt like they died and went to hell. The last five minutes felt like a nightmare that was so real they passed out and repressed the experience to a forgotten memory. They took their seats as Iruka showed up.

"Alright listen up. As of today you are all now Leaf Genin. I will call out the names of each squad where after that you will spend lunch together to get know your new squad. Your Jonin senseis will arrive after lunch so don't be late. Ok Squad one!" Iruka began to call out the names for the squads. The first six squads had been called out. Naruto was getting anxious as to who his dad thought would make good teammates for him. "Squad Seven! Sasuke Uchiha! Sakura Haruno!" Sakura yelled in delight.

"CHA! THAT'S TWO WINS FOR ME IN ONE DAY!" Her inner self yelled.

"and Naruto Namikaze!" Iruka called out. Naruto didn't seem to happy about this team up. For one thing him and Sasuke have never worked well together. They always try to compete in someway and for some reason he was alittle of afraid of Sakura but he can't recall as to why.

"(Sigh) I guess I won't get to be in the same squad as Naruto." Hinata said to herself.

"Damn it! How Sakura got Naruto? Isn't it enough she has Sasuke!" Ino complained in her thoughts.

"Team Eight! Hinata Hyuga! Shino Aburame! And Kiba Inuzuka!" Iruka yelled out. At least Hinata was familiar with Kiba but Shino was usually quiet compared everyone.

"Team Ten! Shikamaru Nara! Choji Akimichi! And Ino Yamanaka!" Iruka called as Ino complained in her thoughts knowing full well who set this one up.

"You would think our dads would try to least be open to us being in a different team up compared to them." She said to herself not liking her odds so far since she knows Shikamaru is lazy and Choji just loves to eat. Before heading out to lunch Ino dramatically cried on Naruto's shoulder. "WAHHH! I don't wanna be separated from you!"

"Come on Ino it's not all bad." Naruto replied.

"It's gonna be lonely not getting to hang out as much." Hinata said.

"Hey, just cause we're on different teams doesn't change the fact we're still friends. Who knows if we work hard enough maybe we'll team up sometime in the future." Naruto told the girls in order to cheer them up.

"I guess your right." Hinata agreed.

"Ok. Just watch Naruto. Next time you see me I'll be that much stronger." Ino said as she walked to talk to her teammates as she him a kiss good bye.

"Guess I should go too." Hinata said.

"You'll be great. I know Kiba is a good guy too. So it won't be all bad." Naruto assured Hinata as she smiled at his positive attitude.

"Thanks." Hinata replied and not wanting to lose out to Ino she gathered her courage and did something that caught Naruto off guard and gave a kiss on the cheek hoping that maybe that at least would help him understand her feelings for him.

"Hinata?" Naruto didn't know what to say as she took off feeling embarrassed. Naruto stood there as he put his hand on his cheek. He felt happy for some reason.

"Hey, Naruto! Are you coming?" Sakura called out.

"Oh, right. Coming!" Naruto replied as he got his lunch. Team seven would take the time to know each other even though Sakura was hoping ot eat alone with sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke wouldn't say much to each other since the accidental kiss made it awkward. They've known each other childhood but they always seem to argue before getting along. Sakura had broken the ice to see if she at least could get them to talk about themselves more. During the lunch period Saya was walking around in the shopping district of the village lost in her thoughts about what to do.

"Saya!" Saya turned around to see it was Mikoto walking around with Miu.

"Oh, Mikoto." Saya replied to her friend.

"Yaya!" Miu yelled. She had a tendencie of coming up with child like nicknames for everyone.

"Now Miu you know that's not her name." Mikoto tried to correct her.

"Oh, it's fine. I don't mind." She said as she patted the young girls head. "How does it feel to be a grandmother in your thirties going on forties?" She asked teasiingly.

"Better to be a young grandmother than old grandmother who can't play with her grandchild." Mikoto replied happily. "How are things with you lately?" Mikoto noted the quick second sad expression on her face before forcing a fake smile.

"Oh just fine."

"Miu why don't you play over there for a bit." Mikoto pointed to a play area for young children to play in while their parents did their shopping.

"Kay!" She replied and ran off to play.

"So spill it." Mikoto told her friend.

"Spill what?"

"Come on Saya. I've known you since we were kids at the academy. I can tell when you're being devious, cheerful, or upset. Something is definitely up with you." Mikoto told Saya.

"(Sigh) You always were a hard one to keep secrets from." Saya replied as they sat down watching Miu play and Mikoto of her current family problems and started going into what the elders talked to her and Hiashi about. The meeting had been about what to do with Hinata and Hanabi. Both girls show potential in being clan heads. Ordinarily they would've branded Hanabi but The Elders had a certain dislike for Hinata since they felt she wasn't fit to lead the clan and decided to wait till they could Hanabi's potential but Hinata had developed greatly and Hanabi was proving to be skilled as well for her age. It turned into an argument for her and Hiashi wasn't saying much only that he'll think on it and give an answer later. Saya heart sank at how her husband could even consider it.

"I see. I had no idea it was that bad for you. Saya are you really considering leaving Hiashi? I know he's been pretty stern since the Cloud incident and losing Hizashi was painful for him. Can't you try talking to him? I would hate to see you end your marriage after all this time." Mikoto told her.

"I know. That's why this is hard. I love my girls but Hiashi has been so different that it gets lonesome these days. There are nights when he doesn't come to bed at all." Saya replied.

"Saya I won't tell you what to do but really think this through." Mikoto told her friend.

"I will. Thank you for listening."

"No problem. I'm just sorry the caged bird seal is only things more stressful for you. It can't be easy when people are trying to force you to decide to brand them."

"I know it's a tradition but it's too painful to think about them going through. If it comes down to it I'll what i have to protect them. With or without Hiashi." Saya told Mikoto. Back at the academy lunch period was over. Team seven was all that was left waiting for their Sensei to show up.

"Where the hell is he?" Naruto asked getting impatient.

"I'm sure he's on his way." Sakura replied "GRRRRR, WHY THE HELL IS OUR SENSEI SO LATE!?" Inner Sakura complained.

"It's pretty annoying. I got better things to do than wait around." Sasuke told them.

"Maybe I should prank him cause he's late." Naruto told his team.

"Don't even think about it." Sasuke told him. Just then the door opened and entered Kakashi entered and took a look at this team.

"Well, well. You guys must be Team seven." He stated.

"Hey! I know you! You used to be a student of my dad's!" Naruto stated as he pointed at him. Naruto had only seen pictures of Kakashi but never actually met in person.

"That I am. Now why don't we go somewhere more open." Kakashi told them as they followed him outside to a roof top. The three sat down on the steps as Kakashi stood by the rails. "Okay then. Let's start with the introductions."

"Introductions?" The three asked.

"Umm, Sensei I thought all the Jonin sensei were already informed of the Genin they would be recieving." Sakura stated.

"Well, that is true but it's only the basic info such as what kind of skills you have and your names. This is just to know each other better. Just tell me your names, dreams, likes, dislikes, why you became ninja. Stuff of that nature." Kakashi explained. "I suppose to break the ice I'll go first. My name is Kakashi Hatake. My likes well aren't too important. Hobbies...well I don't have any. My goals and dreams...well that's really none of your business." Kakashi told them as they looked at him with annoyed looks.

"What kind of introduction was that?" They all thought.

"I'll go first!" Naruto yelled. "My name is Naruto Namikaze! I really like Ramen and I love my family. And my dream is to surpass my dad and become Hokage! So that way I can show everyone that I am worth something and get them to stop treating my mom like she's a monster!" Naruto proudly stated. Surprising his teammates. Sasuke had noticed how people treated him and his mother and could understand wanting to do that for his mother while achieving his goals of surpassing his father. It seems he wasn't the only trying to surpass someone with exceptional talent.

"Not exactly his father but he has his passion and his mothers determination. It'll be interesting to see how he developes." Kakashi thought as he took notes of his students personality. Sakura took her turn.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are...Ahhh." Sakura blushed as she looked at Sasuke. "My dream...Ohhhh" She blushes again.

"(Sigh) As I thought. Girls her age are more interested in boys that their ninja training." Kakashi thought.

"And what I hate...is Naruto!" Naruto turned white from the glare obviously she has let go of the fact he took Sasuke's first kiss.

"Talk about harsh." Kakashi thought as he saw glare. Sasuke then took his turn.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. My likes are my family. My dislike is my goal. I am going to find a certain someone and make him pay for what he's done." Sasuke said coldly as the wind blew.

"This one is definitely one that has something to prove. He has the the eyes...of an avenger. All and all this team is almost like mine. I can see why Sensei chose this set up." Kakashi thought as he looked at three and was reminded of his young days with his team. He snapped back to the present and noticed that the other teams had similarities to the other Jonin sensei's old teams like Kurenais and Asuma's. "Alright then. Now that's done. I want you all to rest up for tomorrow."

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"Tomorrow I will be given you a test to determine if you all have what it takes to be Shinobi. Show up at training ground thirteen at about seven thirty and no breakfast. No sense in puking your brains out tomorrow." Kakashi replied

"Wait a second! What test?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah I thought we already graduated." Sakura stated.

"The graduation exam was to see if you have the basics down. I'll tell you more about it tomorrow. For now call it a day and be ready." Kakashi told as he pulled the old Ninja vanish with a POOF! Once the smoke cleared he was gone.

"Guess that's it." Naruto said.

"Guess we'll see each other tomorrow." Sakura added.

"Naruto don't you know anything about this guy?" Sasuke asked him.

"Not really. I've just seen pictures of him. I also heard he's like really strong." Naruto replied.

"You really are a loser." Sasuke told him.

"What did you say!?" Naruto snapped at the remark.

"You got a problem with it!?" Sasuke yelled back as Sakura stood between to get them to stop.

"Come on guys knock it off!" Sakura yelled. After calming down the three of them took off. Each of them had something they felt they needed to do to prepare for tomorrow. In order to prove Sasuke wrong he decided to look into Kakashi Hatake. Sasuke had a feeling this test would involve combat so he went to the ninja tool shop to get some things. Sakura figured if the boys were gonna keep arguing she would need to have something to break them off and only one person knew them both well enough to get them focused. She was gonna ask Hinata for help in that. In the Namikaxe house Kushina was prepping dinner and Minato had returned hom early which was rare.

"(sigh) It's so sad. My babies aren't gonna be home anymore then before we know it their gonna be dating and saying they wanna move out! Then they'll be getting married!" Kushina started getting carried away.

"Honey calm down. They're both still a bit young for that and I think they're a little too focused on their Ninja carrers." Minato told her as he put his arms around her waist. "Besides, this means we get more time to ourselves." Minato told her as he was seducing his wife in the kitchen.

"Time to ourselves? But what if I get a mission?" She asked as she felt him feeling her body like they were eighteen again.

"I am the Hokage Kushina. I think giving you a day of prepping for a mission would be enough time." Minato replied as he couldn't hold back and kissed her. Kushina giggled at his antics.

"Lord Hokage. Do you happen to have a mission for me?" Kushina began to stroke his crotch with her left hand "at this moment?" She said seductively.

"Kushina Namikaze, This is an S rank mission. Your mission is to please your Hokage." Minato replied and played her game.

"Oh, Lord Hokage please take me and make me yours." Kushina told him. They made out as Minato slowly removing her clothes. They got so caught in their game that they failed to realize Naruto returned home and was witnessing his parents going at it. "AHH Naruto!?"

"I was gonna say I got dad's old student Kakashi as my sensei but I think I came at a bad time." Naruto quickly replied as he went back outside to go eat out leaving his parents embarrassed till Kushina looked up at her husband.

"You chose Kakashi as his sensei?" Kushina looking at him like he did something wrong.

"Well, yeah." Minato replied as he told her the members of Naruto's team.

"Sounds alot like your old squad but my issue with this is that it's Kakashi, Minato. I've seen his record and in the time you've assigned squads to him he has never passed a single one. Minato I know you've been intentionally setting Naruto up with almost impossible odds to pass. Why!?" Kushina finally fed up with her husband's secrets and why he was testing their boy like this. Even compared to Tayuya this was too much. Minato knew she had him in a bind.

"Kushina. You know the mask man is out there somewhere. Jiraiya had once mentioned the child of prophecy. On the day we found out he disappeared I became convinced of two things. That man will certainly bring the great catastrophy the prophecy mentioned and that Naruto will be the one to face him." As Minato went into more detail supporting his reasoning. After he was finished needless to say Kushina was upset with Minato. She locked herself in their bedroom. She was upset and angry that Minato was intentionally trying to prepare their son for some a confrontation with the man that nearly killed her baby and tried to attack the village. Because of him Naruto was forced to carry her burden while she was only left to carry half of the nine tails chakra. Minato was now laying on the couch wondering if he was even doing the right thing anymore. Despite the peaceful times the village had it was obvious that there problems. How these problems get resolved is what will get seen as time goes by. Naruto returned home and noticed his father on the couch meaning he got in trouble. Naruto went to bed early to prepare for tomorrow. It is now eleven pm. Minato slept on the couch. Kushina quietly came out of her room and quietly made her way to Naruto's room. She looked at her little baby sleeping peacefully in his bed. She gently stroked his cheek as she sat in a chair to watch him for a bit. She spent almost the whole night watching her baby till she went back to her room to sleep. The Namikazes, The Uchihas, and Even The Hyugas. These three families have their own strifes, issues, and problems that won't be going away anytime soon.

End of Episode 6

Preview time!

"Ok Time to prove we got what it takes to be Ninja!" Naruto yells. As we see three separate scenes of the rookie nine facing down their senseis preparing for their exams. "I'm gonna show Kakashi Sensei you can't keep me from my dreams. I'm gonna pass this test with flying colors! Believe it!"

Next Time! Pass or Fail! The Jonin Sensei's Test!

"You won't scare me! So bring it on!" Now we see Naruto charging at Kakashi.
