Naruto of the Whirlpool

By: Sheltie

I don't own Naruto at all

A/N: okay, this is my first attempt at trying something very different with Naruto. I hope that at least one of you will like it. I changed the age of becoming a shinobi in this one from twelve to fourteen. Plus this is the finished story from my Naruto Ideas story so there will be parts in this that weren't in the ideas story or I've changed.

Chapter 1

Five-year-old Naruto Uzumaki was panting hard as he finally evaded the angry mob that was chasing him.

"What did I ever do to them? I mean, yeah, I prank them, but that's because they hurt me" the small blond said to himself.

He sighed and peered out to make sure the coast was clear. It was a green light and he moved quickly to avoid being spotted and ended up in his ramshackle apartment. He opened the door to find it was broken into and ransacked once again with hateful graffiti smeared all over the walls while most of his possessions have been destroyed, once again. He sighed and began picking up the pieces of his broken items. Cleaning up was always such a pain. Just another day for him.

/Scene Break/

The next day Naruto was again being chased by an angry mob. His head was bleeding from a bottle that had been thrown at him. The blood was running down his face and neck, it was blurring his vision, but still he pressed on. His legs were screaming in pain for him to rest, but he ignored the plea. He kept running til he collided with something and fell to the ground painfully. He looked up scared out of his mind since he knew that it would be a matter of time before he was beaten by the mob.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Naruto looked up and saw a man with short spiky red hair and crystal blue eyes that looked awfully familiar to the short blond. The man looked down at him with concern. Before Naruto could speak the mob arrived.

"There you are demon, we're going to finish what the Fourth started" one of the mob shouted.

"Demon? This is just a young child, not a demon whatsoever" the man said confused.

"It's a demon all right. It's just taking a form of that child" a woman shrieked.

The man looked confused, but then saw something that caught his eye. Naruto's shirt had ridden up a bit when he fell down and he didn't push it down at all. The man crouched down and made to look at Naruto's stomach. Naruto saw the movement and flinched.

"It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you" the man said softly.

Naruto was hesitant, but allowed the man to do what he was going to do. The man pulled Naruto's shirt up and used some chakra and it revealed the seal on Naruto's stomach. He was shocked at what he saw, but then he knew he needed to know something else. The boy just felt familiar to him, something was drawing him to the boy.

"What's your name?" the man asked.

"N-N-Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto said.

The man's eyes widen then narrowed at the crowd that still lingered. He got up glaring at them.

"You dare to harm one of the last of the Uzumaki bloodline" the man growled.

"He's just a demon that needs to be killed!" a man in the mob shouted.

"You've signed your death warrant" the man said and dashed forward with amazing speed.

The mob was cut down and none were left alive. The man cleaned off his sword he had used then turned back to Naruto who was laying on the ground still in shock of what he had just seen.

"Come on, I am taking you out of here" the man said.

Naruto didn't get a word in as he was picked up and carried away from Konoha.

/Scene Break/

Hiruzen Sarutobi had his head in his hands. The huge pile of paperwork on his desk was ignored. His head snaps up at the presence of another person.

"Any sign?" he asked in a very tired voice.

"No lord Hokage, I am sorry" the Anbu said shaking his head.

"Very well, you are excused" Hiruzen said with a sigh.

The Anbu nodded and left.

It has been three days since Naruto was last seen in the village. No one had seen him since and this troubled the aged ruler. He had made a promise to his good friend to watch over Naruto and had failed this. The team of Anbu that was supposed to be watching Naruto at the time took off early before the mob began. When Hiruzen finally found this out he chewed them all out before demoting them all. He then went searching for Naruto, but only found the bloody mess, but no sign of Naruto at all. This worried the old ruler mightily. When the rest of the village caught wind that Naruto was gone huge celebrations sprung up all over.

Hiruzen was angered by this and sent out his forces to stop the celebrating. To celebrate the disappearance of a young child was sickening.

"Naruto, where are you?" he asked as he looked out the window.

/Scene Break/

Naruto was now in an unusual place. He looked around trying to figure out his new surroundings, but came up with nothing. Soon the door opened and a girl his age walked in carry a tray of food.

"Oh good, you're awake" she said with a smile.

"Um, who are you?" Naruto asked.

"My name is Mika" the girl said then walked over and placed the tray of food on Naruto's lap.

Mika had long red hair with a yellow ribbon tied to it that kept most of her red locks away from her face. It helped when she trained not to have her hair in her face. She wore a simple kimono in the color of deep aqua with koi fish in many colors. She had green eyes that were stunning.

Naruto's mouth salivated as the rich smells hit his nose. He wanted to fight the urge to ravage what was before him, but couldn't. It was a bloodbath in the food eating sense. Mika sat back knowing from what her uncle had told her when he found Naruto. Naruto was malnourished and probably hadn't had a decent meal ever. So she wasn't disgusted at all though she did hope Naruto had some manners. When Naruto was finished he patted his stomach.

"Man that was good" he sighed.

"Glad you like it" Mika said with a smile.

"Yeah, so where am I?" Naruto asked.

"You're in New Whirlpool."

Naruto turned and saw it was the same man he first saw back in Konoha. With this Mika took the tray and left the room leaving just Naruto and the man alone.

"My name is Hideko. How are you feeling Naruto?" he asked.

"Fine, though why am I here?" Naruto asked.

"You don't know anything about your family?" Hideko asked frowning.

Naruto shook his head.

"No, I've tried to ask the old man, but he told me he'd tell me when I was older" he said.

"'Old man'?" Hideko asked curiously.

"Yeah, he's the Hokage" Naruto said.

"I see" Hideko said with narrowed eyes.

"So why am I here?" Naruto asked again.

"This is going to be a long talk" Hideko said with a sigh.

He walked over pulling up a chair next to Naruto's bed. He then told Naruto about his family, the Uzumaki clan. The Uzumaki clan was one of the most powerful clans in all of the five nations. They had their own village with just Uzumaki and clans that were cousins of the Uzumakis called Whirlpool because of the huge whirlpools that surrounded and protected the village. They lived with prosperity until the second shinobi war came and Kiri and Iwa invaded and destroyed Whirlpool. It was said there were no survivors, but that wasn't true several survived the slaughter and set up a new smaller village where Naruto is now.

The new village was well hidden and not many knew where it was. There were many seals around the village to conceal it as well as to protect it too.

Naruto couldn't believe all he was being told. Especially the fact that he was the last of the Uzumaki bloodline. He found out about his mother and his father who was the man that sealed the kyuubi. He also found he was the one that held the kyuubi.

"Naruto, know that you are not the kyuubi, you just contain it. You and it are not the same" Hideko said.

Naruto just nodded.

Hideko could sense Naruto was still coming to terms with all that was dropped on him so he left to give Naruto some time to think.

/Scene Break/

Once Naruto was feeling well enough he left his bed and given a tour by Mika. She was so happy to have this duty and did her best to show Naruto all of the 'New Whirlpool'. Naruto found the place was very warm and welcoming. He was welcomed by all they met and they were all happy that he was here since he was one of the last of the bloodline. He still didn't know what that meant so he just ignored it for now.

"So what do you think Naruto?" Mika asked as they finished the tour.

"It's great" Naruto said.

"I'm glad" Mika said.

Naruto smiled.

He learned more about the village that he was ready to call home. He decided not to go back to Konoha. This was home to him, to be around his own blood, his family. He met more of his family as well as clans that were connected with his clan in some shape or form. Naruto was never happier in his life.

/Scene Break/

Years later

Naruto was now fourteen and a full-fledged shinobi of the New Whirlpool village. He along with Mika and his other teammate Ryo with jounin sensei Hideko. Naruto was their main fighter using ninjutsu, taijutsu and fuinjutsu with Mika their medic nin, but she was more than capable in a fight. Then there was Ryo. Ryo preferred kenjutsu and excelled in it to an almost master level even though he is a genin. Hideko watched over all of them.

Naruto had changed a whole lot since he started calling New Whirlpool his home. He ditched his orange jumpsuit opting to wear more shinobi appropriate clothing. He wore shinobi style black pants along with a dark green long sleeve shirt with a specially made vest to hold the numerous scrolls he carried. He had a grey trench coat that had a huge image of a Whirlpool on the back. On his feet were black combat boots, but they had seals to make them silent and for durability. He also became more studious and serious. A side that Konoha would be shocked to see. Naruto was quite intelligent, but since pretty much everyone in the Leaf village thought of him as a demon he hide that brain. But now in his new home where he was welcomed and cherished really he allowed himself to remove the mask of ignorance and stupidity.

Naruto was also called the last Uzumaki since the blood that runs through his veins is the purest to the Uzumaki line. Everyone in New Whirlpool had Uzumaki blood in various percentages, but Naruto's was the most pure and making rightful heir to the Uzumaki clan.

Mika hadn't changed much since meeting Naruto. The two became instant friends and Mika was Naruto's best friend and confidant. They shared a sibling relationship with each other. She still wore her hair the same way though she had cut it shorter with the yellow ribbon now used to tie a short ponytail. She told Naruto it was easier to maintain. Naruto was confused about this, but took her word for it.

Mika now wears a pale green kunoichi battle dress with the Uzumaki swirls on both of her shoulders in the color of blue. She carried several poisons and antidotes and other things a medic nin would need to carry. She also had a tanto on her back as well. She was great in medic jutsu, but was also good in taijutsu too. She was called the Tsunade of Whirlpool since she was just as famous as the legendary Slug Queen. Except she didn't have the slug queen's legendary strength, yet.

Ryo Kisaragi was a brown haired black eyed boy from the Kisaragi clan. He liked to use kenjutsu mainly, but was very good at genjutsu too. He didn't like using ninjutsu and his taijutsu was adequate enough. He wore a mesh top with a brown shirt over it along with black shinobi pants. Along with sturdy shin and ankle guards that with the introduction of chakra could fire off kunai or shuriken thanks to seals in embedded in the shin and ankle guards. A katana is on his back while keeping his other weapons in scrolls on his person like a certain Konoha weapon mistress. His clan has a history with Naruto's in they were they bodyguards of the Uzumakis as well as their personal assassins too.

All three were excellent with fuinjutsu, which is a trait all New Whirlpool shinobi have. They start when they are young and since it's in their blood it doesn't take long for the kids to know how to do explosive tags by the age of six and storage scrolls by seven. They are taught what they need to be a shinobi at the academy, but fuinjutsu is taught by the entire village. Everyone knew fuinjutsu though on different levels.

Naruto was different since he started late, but it didn't take him long to catch up since he had deft skill. Mainly because who his parents were. He was also the most creative when it came to fuinjutsu and experimented a lot with them creating new seals that no other fuinjutsu master had ever thought of before. He was hailed as a prodigy.

At the moment the team was on their way back from a mission when they Mika sensed something. She was also the sensor in the team.

"What is it Mika?" Naruto asked.

"There's several chakra signatures over there" Mika said.

"Lets check it out" Hideko said.

The team came over and saw a battle happening. At the moment they saw a team of genin guarding an old man while their jounin sensei was fighting.

"That man is Zabuza, a Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist" Ryo said.

No one questioned him since he knew all the known kenjutsu users in the world.

"Shit, they're from Konoha" Naruto muttered taking a closer look at the headband.

Hideko knew this could be trouble if they were found out. He had kidnapped Naruto from his home really. But before he could give the order to leave they saw the Konoha jounin go in for the kill, but was stopped by a Mist hunter nin.

"I'd like to thank you for assisting me. I have been looking for Zabuza for quite a while. Oh, and the four in the bushes come on out" the hunter nin.

With a few grumbles the New Whirlpool team appeared out of their hiding place. They shocked the Konoha team. This gave the chance for the hunter nin to take Zabuza's body away.

"Who are you and why are you here?" the jounin asked.

"Take it easy. I am Hideko and me and my team were on our way back from a mission when one of my genin sensed your battle" Hideko said.

The jounin who had white hair sticking up and had a mask covering his mouth looked at the team. He looked at the headband and was shocked at the symbol on it. It couldn't be. On the headband was a swirl symbol. He was quite familiar with what that meant.

"Whirlpool, they were destroyed" he said.

"That's what many of you thought Kakashi Hatake, but there were survivors. We had gathered and started a new village and stayed hidden so we wouldn't be wiped out" Hideko said.

"I see, it seems you are well-informed though" Kakashi said.

"We are, so what are you doing here if you don't mind me asking?" Hideko asked.

Kakashi was about to tell them when a shriek was heard.

"Kakashi sensei why should we tell them they are foreign ninja?"

The shriek came from a pink haired girl.

"Look girly, you are too young to know this, but Konoha and Whirlpool have a long standing alliance with one another. You should know that since the swirl that's on your flak jackets and other shinobi items are the symbol of Whirlpool" Hideko said glaring at the pink haired girl.

Kakashi apologized then told the New Whirlpool team their mission.

"I see" Hideko said.

"You've got your hands full then. That so-called hunter nin didn't even kill Zabuza" Mika said.

"What, and how'd you know that?" the pink haired girl shrieked.

"First of all talk like a normal person and stop shrieking. Second, I am a trained medic nin and know what that 'hunter nin' did caused Zabuza to go into a near death state" Mika said.

The pink haired girl was about to argue when Naruto jumped in. He wasn't going to let some annoying banshee criticize his first and best friend.

"There's also the fact that hunter nins cut the head off of their target then burn the body. This one didn't do either thus making it suspicious" Naruto said.

Kakashi's eye widen when he looked at Naruto. It couldn't be, he looked just like his sensei really.

"Is your name Naruto?" he asked.

"Yes it is. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, genin of the village of New Whirlpool" Naruto said proudly.

"Well now that is cleared up and all. We best be going. Good luck on your mission" Hideko said wanting to get out of here as soon as he could just in case Kakashi tried to steal Naruto away.

"Wait, do you think you could help us out? We are still allies and we'd appreciate it" Kakashi said.

He wanted to know more about Naruto since he was one of the few Anbu that kept looking for him even after the official search was called off. He just knew Naruto wasn't dead and was so glad to see him alive even though he was wearing another shinobi headband.

"I don't know, we should be heading back to report" Hideko said hesitantly since he didn't want Naruto exposed to Konoha anymore than needed.

"No problem Hideko" Naruto said not having the same concern as his sensei.

He then bit his thumb and did some hand signs and slammed his hand down.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

A big poof of white smoke arose and when it cleared an overly large tiger cub appeared. It was the size of a Labrador retriever.

"Hey Naruto, what's up?" the tiger cub said raising its paw in greeting.

"Hey Samchi. Can you give this to auntie and tell her we're helping Konoha shinobi?" Naruto asked as he jotted down a note then handed it to the tiger cub.

"No problem" Samchi said taking the scroll in its mouth then popping away.

"What was that?" a black haired boy asked.

"That's called a summon. I hold several summoning contracts" Naruto said.

That was true Naruto did hold many summoning contracts and he shared them with his two teammates. As one of the last true Uzumakis he carried several summoning scrolls to several beasts. The Uzumakis were the ones to create and then distribute many of the summoning contracts that were out in the world.

"Give me one" the black haired boy demanded.

"No" Naruto said.

The black haired boy glared and charged at Naruto, but was stopped a few feet from Naruto when a blade of a katana was at his throat.

"Our villages may be allies, but if you try and hurt Naruto I won't hesitate to kill you" Ryo said with a murderous glare.

It was a known fact in the village that Ryo's family, the Kisaragi clan, were close bodyguards of the Naruto's clan. Ryo took his responsibility very seriously. No one was going to get close to Naruto on his watch.

"Hey! You can't do that to Sasuke!" the pink haired girl shrieked.

"Can I shut her up? I want to keep my hearing" Mika asked as she pulled out a few senbon needles from her hip pouch.

"No you can't Mika. Ryo stand down" Hideko ordered.

"Only if he does" Ryo said.

Hideko sighed and looked at Kakashi.

"Back off Sasuke" Kakashi said.

Sasuke hmphed then went back to his team glaring all the way. Ryo put his katana away, but kept his eyes on the Konoha team. He wasn't going to let them hurt his charge.

"Lets head to the bridge builder's home and we can discuss things there?" Kakashi suggested.

With that the two teams got to the bridge builder's home. There they were greeted by the man's daughter and his grandson. Once settled, which it was decided they'd stay sleep with their own team, they gathered in the living room for a meeting.

"Well this is a surprise finding that people of Whirlpool are alive, but I am very glad" Kakashi said.

"What's so great about them?" Sasuke asked.

"Many things Uchiha. We're one of the first villages known in history. We are renown for fuinjutsu and have the most powerful clan in history. We're also known for our longevity too" Hideko said.

"Hn, no clan is stronger than the Uchiha clan" Sasuke declared.

The pink haired girl got hearts in her eyes as she stared at Sasuke.

"Kakashi, you might want to beat the fan girl out of her before she gets herself and your team killed" Naruto said.

"Shut up loser, you're just jealous of Sasuke" the pink haired girl shrieked.

"Why would I be jealous of a brooding emo with the biggest, rustiest kunai in the world shoved up his back side and whose only goal in life is to kill his own blood because of what supposedly happened" Naruto said.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he looked at Naruto.

"What do you know of it?" he asked.

"I know a lot and I can tell you that you're nothing compared to your brother. He's stronger, wiser, way cooler than you could ever be and you'll never beat him" Naruto said.

Sasuke jumped up and was ready to attack Naruto, but was stopped by Ryo's deadly glare.

"Where is he, where is Itachi?" the Uchiha demanded.

"Can't tell you. I am sworn to secrecy" Naruto said.

Sasuke looked ready to explode.

"Calm down Sasuke. We're getting off topic. What we need to do is figure out is what to do next" Kakashi said dragging his student back to his seat.

"Simple. We've heard news of this Gato ruling over Wave like a tyrant. Ryo can take care of him while the rest of us can handle Zabuza and his partner" Hideko said.

"Really?" Kakashi asked with surprise in laced in his voice.

"Yes, Ryo's clan the best in kenjutsu and not only the sworn bodyguards of the Uzumaki clan, but are the best and well known assassins. They have rarely failed in taking out their target" Hideko said.

Kakashi was interested in this since he had never heard of the Ryo's clan at all, but information on Whirlpool was quite sparse. Most of that history was lost after Whirlpool was destroyed and very little is known while most are just rumors.

"Hn" Sasuke grumbled.

"Tell me Kakashi, what have you taught your genin?" Naruto asked.

"Just team building skills" Kakashi said.

"That's it? You haven't taught them tree climbing or water walking?" Naruto asked.

"Um, no" Kakashi said sheepishly.

The New Whirlpool team looked at each other. Tree climbing and water walking was taught while at the academy as well as taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, weapons training, and other skills as well as light class work. What in the world did Konoha teach their genin?

"It seems you have some work to do Kakashi. Why don't my team guard the bridge builder while you train up your team?" Hideko suggested.

"Sounds good" Kakashi said with an eye smile.

/Scene Break/

Ryo left after dark for his solo mission and that left Naruto, Mika and Hideko to guard the bridge builder while the Konoha team trained. Sasuke was pissed at what he was learning. It wasn't anything that would help kill his brother that and he wanted to know how this blond boy knew his brother and what else he knew. That summoning thing looked powerful and it would help him in his quest for vengeance.

The pink haired girl, whose name they found out was Sakura was totally exhausted. She never did any training before and was bushed by just the lightest of work outs.

Last was a pale boy name Sai. He was quiet and observed a lot of things. This made them very suspicious and made sure never to show much in front of the effeminate genin.

Other than that it was really quite boring with guarding the bridge builder, but it had to be done. One night everyone was sitting around eating when the door opened and Ryo came in.

"Well?" Hideko asked.

"Target eliminated" Ryo said.

Hideko nodded.

Kakashi was astounded by this as were the other Konoha shinobi. Tazuna and his family too were surprised by how quickly it was over. Naruto and Mika weren't as well as Hideko since they knew what Ryo could do.

"Hn, he must've been weak to lose to you" Sasuke said.

"He was guarded by many guards, but he still had lousy security. He prepared for every threat possible except for ninja. I killed them and him and brought back a present for Wave" Ryo said.

This got Tazuna's attention. Ryo pulled out a booklet from his pouch.

"This has all of Gato's account numbers. Congratulations, you can now rebuild Wave to its former prosper" Ryo said.

Tazuna stared at the booklet in awe then took it and held it like it was a holy object.

"Well now that is over we just have to deal with Zabuza and his partner" Hideko said.

"Yes, he should be fully healed soon. We should work out a plan" Kakashi said.

/Scene Break/

Later that night Kakashi was out for a walk when he came upon Naruto. The blond was sitting on the dock by the house looking out at the water.

"I didn't think you'd still be up" Kakashi said.

"Just couldn't sleep" Naruto said.

Kakashi nodded and got closer and sitting down by Naruto.

"Where have you been, the Hokage has been very worried about you?" Kakashi asked.

"I've been home, where I belong" Naruto said still staring out over the water.

"Konoha is your home" Kakashi said.

"Yeah right, a home where people spat on me, beat me , trashed my apartment, and nearly killed so many times. That's a home" Naruto spat.

Kakashi flinched.

"You did have some who cared about you" he said quietly.

"Not enough" Naruto sighed.

Kakashi bowed his head.

"I was one of them" he said quietly.

"I know you were and I thank you all the times you helped me" Naruto said.

Kakashi's head snapped up.

"How'd you know?" he asked.

"Not very hard. You haven't changed your hairstyle and I remember you reading those books whenever you watched over me at the hospital" Naruto said as he pointed to the pouch where he kept said book.

"I see" Kakashi said.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone" Naruto said knowing an Anbu's real name are to be kept secret.

Kakashi nodded.

"Here, you can give this to the old man when you get back" Naruto said handing Kakashi a scroll.

Kakashi took it and slipped it into his pouch.

"Well I'm going to get some sleep, night" Naruto said.

"Night Naruto" Kakashi said.

Once the blond left Hideko appeared from the shadows.

"Were you afraid I might steal Naruto away?" Kakashi asked not even looking around.

"No, but it never hurts to be safe" Hideko said.

"I'm guessing you're the one that kidnapped Naruto" Kakashi said.

"I wouldn't say kidnapped since it wasn't really. I was just returning him back home" Hideko said.

"I see" Kakashi said.

"Look Kakashi, I know all about Naruto being Minato Namikaze's son and everything else about him. Naruto knows too," Hideko said.

Kakashi tried to not act surprised, but it was hard to.

"You may not like what's happening, but what is done is done. Naruto is a shinobi of New Whirlpool where he'll stay unless he wants to go back to Konoha and that will be his decision and his decision only. I will not interfere in that" Hideko said.

Kakashi nodded.

"Konoha has really screwed up huh?" the one-eyed jounin said.

"Yes, but they can hopefully learn from this. They have lost the best shinobi ever. Naruto was not only the best in his class and rookie of the year, but his skills already rival that of a jounin" Hideko said.

Kakashi was amazed of how go Naruto was though his father was quite the shinobi as well.

"After this mission we'll head back to New Whirlpool" Hideko said.

Kakashi sighed and nodded.

/Scene Break/

The confrontation on the bridge was lackluster to put it simply. Naruto had placed seals all around the bridge the day before and as soon as Zabuza and his partner came they were trapped. First their chakra was zapped making them weak then they were incapacitated by Mika with her own senbon needles before they could even fight back at all.

The Konoha team were shocked and amazed by what they saw. Sasuke was pissed that he didn't do anything at all. He still wanted to know how Naruto knew his brother and where his brother could be since he knew that Naruto had a good idea where Itachi was.

After that the bridge was finished and it was time to part ways. Hideko decided to take back Zabuza and Haku, who was the name of Zabuza's partner back to New Whirlpool. Kakashi had no qualms with that and the two teams parted ways.

/Scene Break/

Naruto grinned as he entered New Whirlpool. He was finally home.

"Come Naruto, we have to see the Uzukage" Hideko said.

"Right" Naruto said with a nod.

They got to the Uzukage's office and entered.

"Mission accomplished" Hideko said.

In front of the New Whirlpool team was the Uzukage, Selene Uzumaki, Naruto's aunt. She had long red hair which was a trait most Uzumaki had though Naruto was the exception. She had pale green eyes and a kind smile. She had survived the destruction of Whirlpool and helped found and create the new village. She didn't take up office til Naruto came to the village since she didn't want to office in the first place, but with one of her last relatives here she felt compelled to.

"That's good, and what of the incident in Wave?" Selene asked.

"It's done. Ryo successfully eliminated the tyrant known as Gato and then we along with the Konoha team there took down Zabuza and his partner. They are now in T & I awaiting interrogation" Hideko said.

"Very good, your pay for your mission is already in your accounts and I will chat with the Hokage about wages you'll receive for help in Wave. You're dismissed except you Naruto" Selene said.

Mika, Ryo and Hideko bowed then left and once the door was shut all formalities disappeared. Selene got up from her desk and hugged Naruto.

"I was so scared when you sent Samchi back with that note about helping Konoha with their mission" she said.

Naruto hugged his aunt back.

"I am fine auntie, see. Nothing to worry about" Naruto said.

"I know, but it's my job to worry" Serena said.

"I know, so what do you want to know?" Naruto asked.

"What do you think of the genin team you met?" Selene asked.

Naruto thought a bit then nodded.

"The team was bad. The team consists of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Sai. Their jounin sensei is Kakashi Hatake. The Uchiha is arrogant and is on a 'I must kill my brother to avenge my clan' kick. He also a brooding emo that craves power and will be a threat in the near future. Itachi isn't going to be happy how his brother has turned out. Haruno is a total fan girl and it was only pure luck that she wasn't killed in their first mission out of the village. As for Sai, well, I don't trust him. There was something about him that felt off about him though I can't put my finger on it. I just know that I wouldn't have my back towards him" Naruto said.

"I see" Selene said.

"Why do you want to know auntie?" Naruto asked.

"Well I got this message from the Hokage" Selene said picking up a scroll off her desk.

"He must've used a summon to give him that letter" Naruto said.

"What letter?" Selene asked.

"Oh, Kakashi was one of the Anbu who used to watch over me when I was in Konoha. In Wave I gave him a letter he would give to the old man" Naruto said.

Selene nodded. That explained the letter she got from the Hokage and how he wanted to continue their alliance with each other. She wasn't sure she wanted to since that would mean revealing the village to the world again. Something they did their best not to do for so long. There was also another thing in the letter that she was mulling over. Something that would change her nephew's life quite a bit.

"Naruto, in the letter the Hokage invited us to participate in the upcoming chunin exams" Selene said.

Naruto cocked his head to the side in confusion. A trait that made girls squeal and then glomp him. Selene thankfully was used to this and didn't have that urge at all.

"The chunin exams is where genin can get promoted. Though that isn't the only way. There are also field promotions as well as if the kage thinks a genin meets the criteria to be a chunin. But the other thing the chunin exams do is gather all villages to one location really. Each village hosts the chunin exams and they trade off each year. This year it is held in Konoha" Selene said.

Naruto realized what his aunt was getting at.

"So if I accept then that means I'd be going back to Konoha" he said.

"Yes" Selene said with a nod.

"Can I think this over?" Naruto asked.

"Of course Naruto" Selene said with a smile.

Naruto nodded and with one last hug he left his aunt's office.

End of Chapter

A/N: okay, that's the end of this one. I hope you like how I started things off. I did my best to go slow, but I seem to like to rush the first chap and then slow down in the next one. Thanks for reading and please review.
