Ino Yamanaka sat in front of her father. She was uncomfortable but needed to asked her father the questions she had come across. After Naruto spoke to her yesterday she couldn't stop thinking about it.

"You wanted to talk to me Hime?", Inoichi; her father asked.

"Yes Tou-san, I have some questions that I need to ask", she replied.

"What is it?", he asked.

"A-Are fan girls disgraces to Kunoichi?", she asked and her father quirksd both eye brows.

"Where did that come from?", Inoichi asked suspiciously.

"Yesterday some of us followed Sasuke-kun to a training ground where we saw Naruto, he was training and Sakura yelled at him and he insulted her, and you know that I don't really have a friendship with Sakura so I went to congratulate him and he said he doesn't like to be around fan girls", she explained.

"Then to answer your question…yes", he said.

"Thank you, I think I'm going to train", she said walking off.

"Ino-Hime", he called out to his daughter.

"Yes Tou-san?", she inquired.

"What is your purpose for being a ninja?", he asked leaning forward in his seat.

"To make you and Kaa-chan proud of me", she said as she walked out.

'We're all ready proud'.


Naruto sat in his new penthouse apartment looking over Konoha. The landlord had sold it to him albeit begrudgingly. He had gotten the Sandaime to come with him so he wouldn't be over charged.

He had actually bought the entire complex. There was a lot of bargaining but in the end he had bought it for a good price and had let all the residence stay for free to which he had gained some new supporters and less hatred.

He had even gotten some gifts that he had stored next to the door as he was to lazy to move it. He got up and walked into the kitchen. Due to some intense arguing and bargaining the Sandaime had gotten him to buy something other than ramen.

He quickly fried some eggs, had some toast, orange juice and bacon, he was now putting on his clothes to head out to train. But before that…he jumped onto the roof via sky light and opened the Uzumaki scroll.

The Uzumaki clan was known for Fuinjutsu, Sensory abilities and the ability to control Chakra chains. We had our own nation that was destroyed by Iwa. We also had strong bonds with Konoha and Kiri. Our nation was built a little way from The Lane of Waves.

"Looks like we were famous", Naruto mused as he looked on to see aome jutsus of all affinities and he repocketed the scroll. "I have a month to train, let me head to a training ground".

Naruto went to the edge of the building and began to free fall again. Righting himself he landed safely and with out a sound. And like the night he dashed away with Chakra enhanced speed.

While running through the streets of Konoha he sensed a presence far behind him but due to his Sensory abilities he could sense there ambition and the one that was following him was revenge.

He focused his Chakra some more and sensed that it was Sakura. He sighed and grumbled under his breath. He knew why she wanted revenge but he wasn't going to let her abuse him anymore.

He kicked of at a speed so great leaving Sakura to stare in disbelief that he was so fast. She grumbled and decided she would get her revenge at a later date.


Naruto landed in training ground seventeen with a pant. Using that much speed was dangerously tiring, even for Naruto. Naruto then pulled out five scrolls.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu", he yelled and one thousand clones formed. He quickly pulled five out and handed beach a scroll. Then broke them up in groups of two hundred and sent them out to train.

He was about to look through the jutsu and test his affinity when he heard the 'thunk' of a Kunai hitting wood. He then walked a little ways to come across Ino trying to hit the center of a target drawn on a log.

Ino, who was so engrossed in the Kunai didn't even notice him behind her and continued throwing Kunai and Shiruken alike.

"You're doing it wrong you know", he said suddenly causing Ino to turn around and throw a Kunai at him. Naruto simply watched as the Kunai zoomed over his head nicking a little bit of his blonde hair.

"Oh…Naruto, sorry, I over reacted because you startled me", she said as she lowered her guard.

"Don't worry about it, no harm done", Naruto waved of her apology.

"Tell that to the strands of hair the Kunai took off", Ino muttered under he breath but Naruto; with his Kyuubi enhanced senses heard her.

"I was meaning to cut it anyway", he said causing her to go wide eyed.

"You heard me?", she asked.

"Yip, anyway, do you want pointers for throwing the weapons?", he asked.

Ino studied him carefully. She didn't necessarily hate Naruto like Sakura did but he could be annoying.

"I thought to don't like to be around fan girls", she pointed out making him shrug.

"I don't, it's just that I can sense that you're trying to change a little, plus, can't leave a fellow ninja to struggle", Naruto told her making her glance at the headband tied to his arm.

"Sure, I could use some tips", she said crossing her arms.

"By the way you're throwing it you are using brute force, the best ah to throw it is just a flick of the wrist, watch", he said taking a Kunai and throwing it at the log making it land with a 'thump' a little ways off the middle.

"Thanks", she said testing out making it land right next to Naruto's.

"Good job Ino-chan", he said making her blush. No one had ever called her 'Ino-chan', they always used 'Hime' because of her place as a clan heiress.

"I'll be sure to practice more", she said with a smile.

"You should get some weights to, work out and stop dieting", he said as he turned away and began walking.

"But…I have to keep my figure", she called back only to be met with silence then…

"Why?", he said appearing behind her making her scream and jump away.

"What?", she asked.

"Why? I by do you have to keep your figure?", he asked like if it was the most common thing in the world.

"To impress Sasuke-kun", she pleaded.

"Not a good reason, Kunoichi are female ninja, there is always a chance you can die on a mission, and it's not healthy to be eating little to no food at all, because if you have to run for your life you will get tired quickly…now I'm not saying to eat like a pig and get fat but try to eat a more balanced meal", he said walking away.

"When did you get so wise?", she asked with a chuckle.

"When I started to take my ninja career seriously", he said causing her jaw to drop.

"What do you mean seriously!?…Are you really a genius undercover!?", she asked.

"No…truth be told I was only a terrible student in the academy because I had no one to help me, the academy instructors purposely hindered my mental growth…except for Iruka-sensei of course", Naruto explained stopping in his tracks.

"Why did they hinder your studies?", she asked.

"I'll answer that another time Ino-chan", he said as he jumped away after receiving information from his clones that they had finished.

'Alright…time to kick things up a notch', she thought as she ran into the village for some training equipment.


Naruto sat cross legged with his training equipment in from it him. He quickly picked up Affinity testing paper and channeled Chakra into it. He watched as it split into two pieces of paper, one crumpled and the other burst into flames.

'Looks like I have Wind, Lightning and Fire…not unbelievable, I am more of an attacking type of guy, Earth is a defensive element while Water can be used for both', Naruto thought as he pulled out the Uzumaki Clan Scroll.

'I'm just going to all the techniques I can in a month, maybe it'll be about ten, but just because my elements are Wind, Lightning and Fire doesn't mean I won't learn Water and Earth too', he thought confidently as he sealed away everything.

He then strapped on his weights and channeled Chakra into them. With his good Chakra Control it was easy to put in the right amount of Chakra as he began to jog towards the gate of the training ground to head into the village.

While running through the village he was receiving the usual glares, some ogling from girls and looks of acknowledgement. He decided to play around with the girls and winked at them making them squeal and faint. But currently his mind was in training.

'Maybe I can make a jutsu, that'll be fun, I'll start working on it after I master my affinities, I need to improve my Taijutsu, then try to incorporate Chakra into the new Kunai's for swords and lastly I have to learn Fuinjutsu to follow in my clans footsteps…man, this is going to be hard', he was thinking then noticed that he was nearing the dango shop.

He then sighed, dango it is.


Anko Mitarashi; Konoha's Snake Mistress eating Dango. Her favorite food. Across from her was her best friend Kurenai Yuhi; Konoha's Ice Queen and Genjutsu Mistress.

"So Nai-chan, who are the greenhorns you're in charge of?", Anko asked.

"I can't tell you Anko", Kurenai said as she watched her best friend devour dango after dango.

"Whyyyy?", Anko whined.

Just at that moment Naruto entered the dango shop. He walked up to the counter and ordered some sour dango. The owner of the establishment served him with a smile.

He received his dango and sat in the table across from Anko and Kurenai and declined as he ate one dango at a time. Kurenai and Anko studied him carefully then moved over to his table.

"Kurenai-san, and you are?", Naruto asked as he gestured to Anko. Anko smirked and picket up his last dango stick.

"Anko Mitarashi", she said as she bit down on the dango only to spit it back out on the table. "Eww gaki…sour dango, these things taste like dirt".

"I like them", he said then looked at Anko, "I know Kurenai-san specializes in Genjutsu…what about you?", he asked.

"Interrogation", she answered as she cleaned up the dango she had spat out. Naruto mused that over. Intergogation.

"You mind teaching me a few times I me about interrogation?", he asked standing up from his seat.

"No".

"Why? I want to get trained by one of the top Interrogation specialist that Konoha has", he said.

"Flattery will get you nowhere", she said walking away with Kurenai.

"I'll buy you dango for a weak", he said stopping both her and Kunai in their tracks.

Anko had an evil glint in her eyes, "Meet me at training ground forth four in two weeks, you'll by me dango for that entire week…later a Nai-chan", she said shunshin'ing away.

Kurenai looked at Naruto with nothing but pity.

"I feel like I just got myself in some deep shit", he muttered.

"Damn straight", Kurenai said also shunshin'ing away.

Naruto grumbled as he proceeded to continue his laps.


Naruto entered the Hokage's office eight hours later feeling completely exhausted. The Hokage looked at him and stared wide eyed. He then chuckled lightly.

"New fan girls made you look like this?", he asked and Naruto glared at the old man.

"Partly, during my laps they started running me down…well…it's good to know some people see me as me…I think", he mused then watched it he old man. Just then a man with silver length hair landed on the window sill.

"Hello Jiraiya", Sarutobi said noticing his student on the window sill.

"Hey Old Man", he said then noticed Naruto. "Hey gaki, can you step outside for a minute, I got to talk to the old man". He watched the man and noticed he was nervous.

Naruto stood his ground then spoke, "Does it involve the Kyuubi?", Naruto asked shocking the man.

"And if it is? How did you even know?", Jiraiya asked.

"I have a right to know being its Jinchuriki and all and as for knowing, you were nervous when you were talking to me".

"Smart one aren't you?", Jiraiya asked and Naruto chuckled.

"Not necessarily but I am an Uzumaki, I can sense intentions in Chakra", Naruto explained and both elders looked impressed.

"Anyway, as for the information I have gathered, there's this organization known as Akatsuki, they are trying to get the Bijuu from inside the Jinchuriki's, their purpose is still unknown", Jiraiya explained.

"So…I have to get stronger if they come after me?", Naruto asked.

"In a way, maybe an can teach you a jutsu made by the Yondaime for now", Jiraiya said and watched as Naruto's face was ecstatic.

"Really!? That'll be awesome", he exclaimed.

"How does tomorrow sound?", Jiraiya asked.

"Hey Old Man, is their any training ground around here with a waterfall?", Naruto asked.

"Yes, training ground twenty eight", Hiruzen answered after a moment of thought.

"Meet me their Jiraiya-sensei", Naruto said running out the door.

"It's been a while since you last heard that hasn't it?", Hiruzen asked.

"Yip, twelve years, can't believe I'm training my own grandson after I trained my son", Jiraiya thought.

"It can be hard, any word on Tsunade?".

"No, I saw her but couldn't convince her to return…and I'm to afraid to tell her Minato had a son", Jiraiya said sadly.

"Jiraiya...don't be hard on yourselves, when Minato was born we did tell her that her baby had died", Hiruzen spoke.

"We had too, it was in the middle of a war", Jiraiya said crying a little.

Hiruzen walked to the window sill and sighed.

"We will let Naruto meet her before we do anything", Hiruzen told him.

"Yeah, if one of us tells her she will have a field day", Jiraiya laughed.

Hiruzen chuckled as he sat back down then began to think about his predecessor/successor.

"Minato was so happy when he b came Hokage, and Naruto goes on about becoming Hokage too", Hiraen told him.

"Following in his parents footsteps I see, first day of the academy Kishina blurted out she was going to be the first female Hokage", Jiraiya chuckled at the memory.

"So…going to teach him the Rasengan?", Hiruzen asked.

"Yes…it's his birth right after all", Jiraiya spoke as he turns on the window sill and was getting ready to leap off.

"Good bye Jiraiya", Hiruzen said.

"Later sensei, going to do some 'research', look forward to my next book", Jiraiya spoke as he jumped away.

Hiruzen pulled out a little orange book and began to read.

'Jiraiya my boy, you will never change…maybe that's a good thing'. Hiruzen thought.

Minutes later perverted giggles were heard in the Hokage's office.
