Chapter One: Discovering What I Am

While growing up, Naruto always felt different than other people; no it was not his black hair and blue eyes but his quirks and other strange capabilities most did not have. Naruto was taken in by Hiruzen Sarutobi when his parents, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, died while battling the Kyuubi. Instead of sealing it inside Naruto, Kushina knew that her life was fading so Minato used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal it inside her. With this act, both Minato and Kushina died while holding each other with the Kyuubi dying right along with them. Since then, Hiruzen, or the Sandaime Hokage, took care and watched Naruto grow; the black hair was strange as his parents did not have that color. Little did anyone know that Minato held a secret that only Kushina knew about; a secret of his lineage that predated the Sage of Six Paths.

As Naruto grew up, the Hokage noticed that he always wanted to train, to push himself past the normal human limits. On top of this, Hiruzen found out that Naruto had only trace amounts of chakra and this weird aura about him which radiated a calm yet powerful presence. Even the doctors that did regular checkups had no idea what this aura was and just labeled Naruto as a very healthy and advanced child. In the present, we find a six year old Naruto wearing black ANBU pants, a black undershirt, and blue opened toed sandals in the backyard of the Sarutobi Estate practicing his taijutsu.

Asuma and the Hokage were watching from the back porch while enjoying their smoke as they were curious about Naruto and wanted to know why he was advanced for his age.

"Naruto is not like the others dad; do you think that will affect him when he starts the academy tomorrow?"

Hiruzen nodded and smiled sadly "I know my son but what can I do; we told him about his parents last year, two years ago he wanted to start training which he took like a sponge to water, and now I would almost put him at genin level with the strength of his taijutsu alone."

"I was surprised at how well he took to knowing about his parents and don't remind me on his taijutsu…I swear my ribs still hurt from that spar." Asuma said while exhaling the smoke from his lungs.

Hiruzen sighed as he watched Naruto go through a flurry of kicks and acrobatics.

"It makes no sense my son, Minato had blonde hair while Kushina had red; do you think either one's ancestry has something to do with Naruto's abilities?"

Before either could answer they watched Naruto look at the tree in front of him and cock his head in wonder. Naruto looked at the fist he made, then back at the tree; with a yell of determination he punched the rough bark and watched as the tree shook with the force of the punch. The tree had an indent where the punch connected.

"Weird, that didn't hurt at all?" Naruto pondered then looked at a small boulder nearby and attempted the same thing which made it crack. "Again, no pain…what am I?"

On the back porch Asuma and Hiruzen were wide-eyed in shock but soon broke out of it and rushed up to Naruto to make sure he was alright.

"Naruto! Are you OK? What were you thinking?!" Hiruzen scolded which made Naruto nervously chuckle.

"I'm fine gramps, see no broke skin or nothing; I never felt any pain."

Asuma quirked an eyebrow while the Hokage stroked his goatee in confusion at what was going on.

"Dad, I want you to try something; punch Naruto with your full strength."

Hearing this made Hiruzen choke on his smoke "WHAT! Do you WANT me to kill my grandson?!"

Naruto interrupted, "Its fine gramps, call me crazy but I feel that I will be alright just do it…please. I need to find out what I am."

Naruto got in a horse stance and awaited the blow; the Hokage sighed took a breath before he muttered an apology. With a yell, Hiruzen's fist slamed into Naruto's stomach which made him through the air and break through three trees before coming to a rest in a small crater.

Asuma saw the hurt expression on his dad's face, "You OK?"

"Yah, but it felt like I hit a brick wall." Hiruzen sighed, "I just hope our surrogate grandson is OK."

Naruto looked up at the sky from the crater he was in and groaned a little then checked for injuries; to his surprise, nothing was found except minor scratches. This is what the two Sarutobi came to see.

"Gramps…what am I? Will I fit in with the other students? I'm scared." Naruto started to sob.

Hiruzen grabbed Naruto and pulled him into a hug, "Even I don't know the answer to that but I think there is a place that will; let's go to your father's estate to see what we can find."

Namikaze Estates 20 minutes later

After Naruto unsealed the gates and entered the quaint home, Hiruzen led Naruto to Minato's study which was locked by an impressive seal array. Of course, the Hokage knew that only the blood of a Namikaze would be able to unlock the door.

"Bite your finger and put the blood on the seal near the door handle, it should open for you but I will be waiting outside as it is not my place to know your father's secrets."

Naruto nodded and bit his right thumb drawing blood and applied it to the seal; it glowed brightly then the door opened with a click. Naruto sighed and walked inside with the door closing and locking behind him. In front of Naruto was a large desk filled with notes on potential seals, to the right of the desk was a bookshelf filled with scrolls; each were labeled with what they contained. To the left of the desk was a safe, being a six year old kid Naruto wanted to know what was inside. He walked up to it and searched in vain to see how it operated but soon, Naruto found a similar seal array; the same used on the door. Naruto opened it.

Inside were two scrolls, what looked like a training outfit, and a letter. Curious, Naruto picked up the letter and started to read.

Hello Naruto, my son.

I hope you have had a wonderful childhood so far but you are probably wondering about some weird abilities of yours. In this safe you will find two scrolls to help harness your abilities and improve them but you must do this away from prying eyes as our lineage predates that of the Sage of Six Paths. In the basement, a special room is set up for this purpose; if you wish to know more about your abilities, head there now. I will be waiting there my son.

Minato Namikaze

Naruto smiled and wiped a few tears away then looks at the training outfit and decided to put it on. It consisted of orange pants, a blue undershirt, and an orange gi; with this were dark blue wristbands, along with dark blue boots that were outfitted with yellow/beige laces. To finish the outfit off, a blue obi was tied around the waist. Naruto instantly noticed that he felt weighted down and smiled knowing that if he trained in this he would become stronger. Grabbing the scrolls, he locked the safe and came out of the study; the change of clothing caught Hiruzen's eye.

"You look…different, Naruto; did you find anything to help discover what you are?"

Naruto smiled, "I think, but I need to go to the training room in the basement as my father said in his letter."

The Hokage ruffled Naruto's spikey hair and chuckled "Well, what's keeping you…go my grandson, discover what you were meant to be."

"Hai."

Naruto ran off while Hiruzen decided to take a seat in the living room to wait for Naruto's return.

Basement

Once Naruto entered the basement, seals on the wall suddenly lit up and sealed off the room. Although he was afraid for a brief moment, a recognizable figure appeared which made Naruto stammer and fall on his ass in shock.

"F-father…is that you?"

The hologram of Minato smiled "Hey Naruto, I am communicating through a seal of my design. I see you found my old training gear, you look good in it."

Naruto interrupted for a moment, "Where is your blonde hair?"

Minato smiled, "And that is why you are here Naruto; you see we are what are called Saiyans. I am a full while you are half as your mother was human, only she knew this secret."

Naruto was a little flabbergasted but then looked at the scrolls he had in his possession

"What about these scrolls? You said they would help me harness my abilities."

Minato nodded, "Yes and I'm afraid for the next nine years you will stay in the Namikaze Estates to fully understand your powers and what you are. Once you are finished with those scrolls I will contact a friend of mine and take you to a new place to train."

Naruto widened his eyes "But what about the academy, gramps, Asuma-niisan…?"

"I am talking to the Old Monkey right now my son. Naruto, this training is important; what power we possess can blow up planets if left unchecked and untrained. Besides, once your training is done you will far surpass the capabilities of a Shinobi." Minato said in a stern but caring voice.

Naruto was in awe, blowing up a planet was scary yet interesting at the same time. He then realized that Minato avoided one of his questions.

"You still haven't told me why your hair is black not blonde."

Minato barked a short laugh. "That is a story for another time, don't worry I will be here when you need me; get to training then."

Naruto nodded with a smile and as soon as Minato disappeared, three doors opened on the far side of the room. One was a bathroom, one was a bedroom with changes of clothes, and the other was a kitchen filled with all sorts of food. Naruto shook his head and decided to start; he unraveled the first scroll and began to read.

With Hiruzen

The Hokage was currently sitting on the couch in the family room waiting for Naruto when an image of Minato appeared freaking the old man out.

"Hey old monkey!" Minato said with a shit eating grin.

"Damn you and your seals…where's Naruto?"

"Naruto will not be leaving here for nine years; in that time he will train to become what he was meant to be." Minato said.

Hiruzen eyes widened in shock at how many years Naruto would be gone, "Nine years, what requires that long of training…and why is your hair black?"

Minato shook his head "There are secrets which I will keep locked away forever old monkey, what Naruto and I are draws attention to the wrong kind of people; if word got out then all the Elemental Nations would be in jeopardy."

The Sandaime just sighed and let it go as he knew he wouldn't win an argument with Minato. The old man then stood and looked Minato in the eye.

"Just promise me when the nine years are up that Naruto is the best damn Shinobi there is."

Minato let off a coy smirk, "When the nine years is up, you will see just how powerful Naruto has become. I must go now, goodbye old friend."

Minato disappeared and as Hiruzen was about to leave, he noticed that his question about the black hair was not answered. The Hokage just shook his head and left the Estates to go back home, all the while he thought about his surrogate grandson.

Time-skip: Two Years

Naruto finally did it; he finished the content in the scrolls. The training was brutal as it required an insane amount of physical exercise, almost constant running, lots of taijutsu katas, and basics of Ki training as well as control. The seals in the room changed the gravity which made for more difficult training; Naruto was up to five times that of normal gravity. As a result of this training, Naruto became slightly muscular and now stood at four feet tall which was above average for an eight year old. Also as a result of this training, Naruto's mentally improved and he became more focused and determined. Currently, Naruto was going through his taijutsu katas when the projection of Minato appeared again which made Naruto stop what he was doing.

"I have watched and helped you over the years and could not be more proud, but I digress. Prepare yourself as you will be arriving at your new home for the remaining seven years."

Naruto watched Minato disappear and not three seconds later, he disappeared in a flash of white.

Other World, King Kai's Planet

Naruto opened his eyes to see himself in a weird place with a golden sky and clouds; he looked around to find himself on a planet with a house, car and a couple trees. Naruto also noticed the increase in gravity which was making it difficult to breathe. A familiar voice caught his attention which made Naruto turn into something he couldn't believe; Minato was standing there with a massive grin on his face.

"Hey son, welcome to the next step of your training." Minato waved, the grin still plastered on his face.

Naruto just opened his mouth in shock and proceeded to faint which made everyone watching sweat drop.

"He took that surprisingly well, huh King Kai."

King Kai chuckled "Gregory, wake him up please."

Gregory, the levitating cricket with a high pitched voice, produced a wooden mallet from Kami knows where and smashed it on Naruto's poor skull.

"OW!" Naruto woke up holding his head and looked at the innocent looking cricket who was trying to hide a mallet behind his back with anger, "What was that for?!"

King Kai made his presence known "Silence! You are here to learn about your past and receive not only training from me, but your father and your ancestor as well. Goku, get out here!"

Goku walked out of the house to see Naruto on the ground nursing a lump on his head.

"So you're my descendant, nice to meet you my name's Goku!"

Naruto stood and bowed "Naruto Namikaze. Now can someone explain to me where the hells are we and how my father and I became Saiyans?"

"Let's go inside and discuss this." Minato said while motioning for everyone to follow; once inside everyone sat down in the family room.

"Son, what do you know of the Sage of Six Paths?"

Naruto shrugged, "Other than he was the one who gave the Shinobi Chakra and that he separated the Bijuu, not much."

"The Sage was the descendant of my father Bardock who somehow travelled back in time when Frieza destroyed our home, Planet Vegeta. Eventually Bardock came to your planet, Naruto, and found a wife. The Sage, called Hagoromo, grew up and before Bardock passed away he made him full Saiyan but there was something special about him; he could split Ki into the two aspects, ying and yang." Goku said.

"Which is how chakra came to be, it's like a watered down version of Ki, the life force of every being correct?" Naruto added which made everyone clap and smile.

"Good my son, you catch on quickly. Now, as to why I am full Saiyan is that every person in the Namikaze clan before they perished gave their life force to the one that showed promise in the Saiyan arts. When we are finished training, I will carry on tradition and pass from this world."

Naruto's eyes widened and tears threatened to come out. "But why, I don't want to see you go."

"Naruto, King Kai predicted a terrible fate to overcome the Elemental Nations where enemies of the past will return in which only you will be able to defeat."

Naruto sighed "If it means saving my planet then so be it; I will miss you father when the time comes for you to carry on tradition. Question though, I thought the Sage had two children which created the Senju and Uchiha clans."

Minato laughed nervously and scratched the back of his neck, "About that, my father was a Senju and to hide my heritage I used the name Namikaze."

Naruto just stared at Minato with a dead expression "Huh, well that explains things. Anyway, I'm bored and want to get to training."

Goku and Minato laughed at this but the ancient Saiyan added one last thing.

"Before we start, you must know our past; it's what I did to Minato when he came here. Be still as I do this please."

Naruto sat there motionless while Goku placed his right hand on Naruto's head where memories of how the Saiyans came to be as well as the battles Goku undertook played through his mind. He saw all the Z fighters and how they came to be, how they helped when need be; he saw the lookout tower, Mr. Popo, Kami, and Korin. As the many memories passed through, Naruto could only be amazed; the process only took five minutes. When Goku ended the technique it took a little before Naruto regained a sense of normalcy.

"Wow, so that is how we came to be. I will be sure to keep our lineage intact." Naruto gasped in shock.

King Kai stood and stretched "Whelp, I think it's time to start training. First on the list is that you are to catch Bubbles."

Naruto scoffs "How hard could that be, it's only a monkey."

Minato, Goku, and King Kai held in laughter while Bubbles did a dance and screeched a couple times before he ran off with Naruto lagging behind. All three burst into laughter after Naruto left; it would be a long seven years.

Time-Skip: Seven Years (Naruto's Age is 15)

In the seven years, Naruto has learned much; flying, Ki attacks, instant transmission, how to increase his speed, which included weight training, how to use his Ki to power up, among other things. It was also during these years that Naruto finally got the answer about why Minato's hair was golden.

Flashback: Two Years Ago

Minato, Goku, and Naruto were taking a break from training by lying underneath one of the many apple trees that dotted the planet. It was here that Naruto brought up that same question he asked years before.

"Ne, dad, you never did answer that question about your black hair."

Minato chuckled "You are correct, I haven't as I waited until you were ready. First, let Goku and I show you what to work towards."

Goku and Minato stood and walked a small distance away then closed their eyes. A small grunt of exertion and concentration later, a golden aura burst around them which made their hair and eyebrows turn gold and their pupils green.

Naruto started to sweat and breathes heavy as he felt the immense amount of Ki produced; he was recently taught how to gauge people's signatures and power level.

"W-What the…?" Naruto stammered out which made Goku and Minato smile.

"This is what is known as a Super Saiyan and the reason for my blonde hair. As to how nobody noticed my Ki presence is I have learned to hide it which is what we will be teaching you over the years." Minato explained with Goku continuing.

"Naruto, you must know that this power is only available when you need it; you cannot achieve this form by wanting it. When you do obtain this level, your strength, speed, and power doubles; this however is not the limit to our powers."

Minato powered down and sat back beside Naruto while Goku powered up again to where his hair got spikier and lightning was added to the golden aura. Goku's voice slightly deepened as a result.

"This is Super Saiyan Two, the level above Super Saiyan, Achieving this form is difficult but can be achieved with the right mindset and training. And this is to go even further beyond!"

Goku got in the horse stance and screamed out. While his power skyrocketed, father and son covered their eyes as to not get dust in it. After a minute, Naruto gasped to see Goku changed again with back length spiky gold hair, no eyebrows, and the same golden aura as SSJ2.

"This is Super Saiyan Three, again with training and the right mindset this can be achieved but I warn you that this form will take a lot out of you."

Goku breathed out and returned back to normal then finished his explanation.

"We Saiyans can go all the way to Super Saiyan Four but that is with intense training and also if we still have our tail. Fun fact! For every near death experience we have, our power jumps and we become more resilient."

Naruto blinked and was silent for a couple minutes before he spoke up with enthusiasm "This is amazing, I never knew we could be so powerful. Do you think I can achieve Super Saiyan?"

Minato ruffled Naruto's hair "In time my son, like Goku said; you will feel a need for it and when that comes, the gold will be yours."

Flashback End

Naruto now stood five foot nine and had an impressive muscular build; he wore the same outfit that Gohan did in the Cell Games. His face was set in a determined glare that would scare anyone that had never saw Naruto before. Currently, Goku and Minato were having an all-out spar before Naruto returned home.

"KAMEHAMEHA!"

Naruto blasted out a mass of blue energy toward Goku who stopped it with his bare hands then punched it back towards the caster who retaliated with a quick Ki blast making it explode; dust covered the area.

Minato used this distraction to hit Naruto in the face launching him across the battlefield but he wasn't done. Minato vanished then kicked Naruto in the back making him fly into the air then vanished again, clasped his hands together and brought them down on Naruto's stomach; he plummeted to the ground.

Naruto righted himself in mid-air and crashed into the ground kneeling in the process which made a massive crater underneath him.

"Ow, I have to watch my guard at all times…now where are they."

Naruto closed his eyes and searched for their life energy, once found he vanished.

In the air Goku and Minato were impressed, "This is a good spar Minato, he has gotten strong real quick."

"I have to agree that my son has grown powerful." Minato responded but soon felt a tap on his shoulder; he turned to find Naruto hovering with a huge grin plastered on his face.

"Excuse me"

Naruto punched his father in the face which made him fly back a little but just as Minato was to attack, Naruto vanished; he soon found himself grabbed at the feet then spun around and launched in the direction of Goku. He managed to catch Minato then soon had to dodge a purple and orange corkscrew like beam. The spar has lasted for three hours so far, neither of the three were winded in the slightest but Goku called the match anyways. As they floated to the ground, they noticed that all of their clothes were in tatters; King Kai healed them and fixed their clothes with his magic then began to cry over the damage done to his planet.

"Well, I guess it's that time then, huh dad." Naruto sadly stated earning a hug from his father.

"Yes it is, but I will always be with you in your heart." Naruto smiled but Minato was not done, "Before I part from the Outer World, King Kai did you set up the arrangements?"

"Yah, yah, hold you horses." King Kai said as he concentrated; a puff of smoke appeared beside Minato.

As the smoke cleared, Naruto instantly recognized the red hair and tomboyish look; he ran up and engulfed her in a hug.

"MOM!"

Kushina smiled with tears in her eyes and returned it, "Oh, look how much my baby grew up…someone's going to be a lady killer when they return."

Naruto blushed and stammered "Mom, stop it you're embarrassing me."

Kushina giggle "That is what moms are supposed to do silly."

Naruto frowned with tears coming out of his eyes "Do both of you really have to go, I just met you. Though I am thankful for helping me find out what I am and training me to pass on your legacy…dad."

Both engulfed Naruto in a hug with Minato responding back "I know your pain son but remember that you will meet us someday. When I am done, remember the threat to the Elemental Nations and use that to further your training."

Naruto nodded as Kushina kissed him on the forehead. Afterwards, Minato placed his right hand on Naruto's head; the Yondaime then transferred the last of his life energy which made Naruto a full Saiyan. As Kushina and Minato were fading, the Red Hot Habanero said one last thing.

"If you find Jiraiya, kick him in the nuts for us; he peeped on us when we were in the hot springs."

Naruto laughed and wiped the tears from his eyes "Will do mom and dad, thank you again for everything you have done."

"You're welcome son, goodbye."

After they disappeared fully, Naruto sighed but smiles when Goku patted him on the back reassuringly.

"Naruto, you have to remember that the Dragon Balls don't exist anymore so you cannot bring someone back to life like I was able to. All I'm saying is be cautious and plan your attacks carefully."

Naruto smirked and rubbed his pointer finger under his nose, a trait he picked up from Goku. "I know Goku, but what King Kai said last year has me worried. If the worst happens, how can I stop them just by myself?"

Goku grinned and slapped Naruto on the back "When the worst does happen, you will know what to do…just trust me on this one."

Naruto shrugged and puts his right middle and pointer finger on his forehead then concentrated on the Namikaze Estates. Goku made sure Naruto felt the familiar aura his planet made among other things as it helped with instant transmission. Naruto waved goodbye and disappeared.

Konoha – Hokage Office

Hiruzen was talking about team placements to the other jounin before they picked them up from the revamped academy. In the years Naruto was gone, Hiruzen wanted to gain his power back as he grew soft since the Kyuubi attack which lead to certain people usurping his power. Using the Shadow Clones to do paperwork, he found discrepancies in accounting records, clan finances, and so forth. With the help of ANBU, Ibiki, and Anko, the Hokage found out the civilian council and advisors were working together on stealing funds from certain clans as well as Konoha. One council meeting later, each was executed for treason. Tsunade and Jiraiya were summoned back to Konoha afterwards and were made advisors much to their dismay, but over the years they realized that it was for the best.

Tsunade now ran the hospital while Jiraiya ran his spy network out of Konoha instead of travelling around the Nation. Danzo, after the advisors and civilian council were executed, lost a lot of support and thanks to Jiraiya's spy network he had to dissolve ROOT or face execution. Danzo had no choice but to comply and did as told with each member going through rehabilitation programs; after this happened, the war hawk suddenly fled Konoha where he was given an A rank status in the Bingo Book.

Thanks to these things, the academy and security was revamped. The academy graduation was now 15 but included courses for students to get ready for the Shinobi lifestyle; their graduation mission was called Red River. It was a mission where students had to go to a low threat bandit camp and kill any in their sight. Jounin made up the teams and watched over them as they did this but the mission had benefits. Those not ready to face Shinobi life head on dropped out while others continued; it greatly diminished the genin death rate.

Back to the present, Hiruzen was discussing the genin teams to the jounin.

"Kakashi, you have Team 7 with Sai, Sasuke, and Sakura. Kurenai, you have Team 8 with Hinata, Shino, and Kiba. Guy, Team 9 is still active. Asuma you have…."

The Sandaime was interrupted by Naruto appearing in the room which took everyone off guard; the ANBU quickly sprang into action, their tanto blades poised to kill at a moment's notice.

"Damn, I really got to work on my long distance travel…oh, hey gramps; been a while."

Asuma and Hiruzen's eyes widen then both smiled; the Hokage dismissed his ANBU then walked up, hugged then went back to his seat.

"Look at you Naruto, I barely even recognized you with the getup and all. So, I take it training went well?"

Naruto nodded "Very well, but I will not reveal what my father and I are just yet; when the time comes for me to show my all only then will my secret be shattered."

Kakashi dropped his smut when he heard the name Naruto then eye smiled "So this is Sensei's son."

Naruto turned to Kakashi and bowed "Ah, Kakashi-san my father told me a lot about you. Still reading that smut and being tardy?"

Kakashi eye smiled but Kurenai interrupted, "I thought Minato was dead?"

"He is, but you can never dismiss the power of seals." Naruto said then turned to his grandfather figure. "Anyway, what did I interrupt; sorry about that by the way."

The Hokage shook his head with mirth, "Team placements; I did house cleaning when you were gone and made Konoha stronger."

Guy stepped up, "Sorry Hokage-sama, but I wish to test Naruto-sans youth if you will."

Everyone quirked an eyebrow at Guy but flinched away at Naruto's hardened glare, the eyes of which had seen battle. Hiruzen saw Naruto's look and accepted. Guy smiled and vanishedfrom sight while initiating a Konoha Senpu. Naruto just stood their looking bored then suddenly ducked, turned left, and grabbed Guy by the throat then slammed him down to the wooden floor. The battle took less than a second. Even though Guy was in pain while everyone else was astonished, he put his nice guy pose up.

"YOSH! Naruto is very YOUTHFUL Hokage-sama."

Naruto helped Guy stand "I would advise the ANBU and others not to tail me as my training makes me react as if I am in battle. You might see me as being lax but I am always on guard. I did not hurt your ANBU as I sensed they were not going to kill me."

"Naruto," Asuma spoke up "How powerful are you?"

Naruto tapped his chin in thought and looked at the ceiling, "Well, if I went full power I could probably beat gramps here but not without injury. Does that answer your question Asuma-niisan?"

The whole room went silent for five minutes before Hiruzen finished handing out teams. Once the jounin left, Naruto took a seat while the Sandaime packed then lit his pipe. Taking a couple puffs, he leaned back and smiled.

"Konoha has got a lot stronger and it is not just their Shinobi. We are allied with Suna, Kumo, and Taki. Iwa still holds a grudge on your father and a new organization has popped up but as to the name and its goal, Jiraiya's spy network is working on that. Anyway, I can tell you are no Genin so what rank would you like Naruto?"

Naruto sighed and decided to get it over with "Gramps, there will come a time when the Elemental Nations will be under threat of extinction to where I am the only one to defeat such enemies. Again, my secret will stay locked until one of them rears their ugly mug."

Hiruzen cleared his throat but was still awed by what Naruto said.

"I wish you weren't so secretive about what you are, but I feel that if it did get out it would threaten life in this Nation as we know it."

"Not just the Nation gramps but the entire universe. I'll be blunt with you, the power I hold can literally destroy planets so what does that say about my enemies."

The Sandaime snapped his head at Naruto and looked him in the eye for any sign of deceit; finding none, he pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

"Alright, I see what you want; you will gain travel rights and be a Jounin, is that satisfactory." Naruto nodded, "Good, if you would like to introduce yourself to the graduating class you may. The Jounin pick their teams up in thirty minutes."

Naruto caught a headband and tied it to his forehead, parting his black bangs making him look like a mix of Hashirama and Minato which Hiruzen chuckled at. Naruto stood and told the Hokage good day then teleported to the classroom.

"Things are definitely going to be interesting with you back Naruto, but what secret does you and your father hold that can threaten entire universes?"

Academy

Iruka just got done with his speech and told everyone to wait for their teams; he was about to leave when Naruto appeared in front of the room.

"Sir, this is a classroom I am going to ask you to leave." Iruka said to Naruto.

Naruto turned his head so that Iruka could see the headband "My name is Naruto Namikaze, a jounin who was recently promoted. I'm just here to see the graduates and wish them the best of luck."

Iruka and everyone gasped at that last name; the teacher bowed "My apologies, Namikaze-sama. Our Hokage as said much about the Yondaime's son and told us you would return one day."

Naruto smiled "Naruto is fine and your apology is accepted. If you have questions then feel free to ask."

Naruto sat in a meditative stance and closed his eyes getting a feel for everyone's life force signature as well as power levels.

"Interesting, everyone here seems to have about the strength Raditz had when battling Goku."

Naruto sensed something incoming and quickly plucked it out of the air without looking.

"Can someone tell me why they threw an object at me?" Naruto said in a bored tone.

"How did you do that?!" some people scream out.

Naruto chuckled "Everything has a life signature so I sensed it coming towards me."

Naruto took the object and flicked it where it sailed through the air where it penetrated the back wall; only the end of the object, which was a pencil, was visible.

"Remind me not to make Naruto mad, if he could do that, I can only imagine what else." Kiba shivered.

"Naruto-sama, how are you a jounin at our age?" Sakura politely asked.

"The training I underwent was intense and I have a secret which makes me different than the average shinobi."

Sasuke snorted "You got muscles like that of the Raikage, that isn't much difference."

"Can you punch a tree and turn it into toothpicks?" Naruto retorted.

Everyone shut up at this and didn't ask any more questions, the decided to wait for their Sensei to pick them up; once that was done Naruto disappeared and headed into the Forest of Death. When he got to the gate, he sensed the large animals inside and smiled then jumped the fence landing on the other side.

"This should be perfect to train away from prying eyes."

As Naruto walked in the forest to find a spot to train, animals watched him with curiosity but stood a certain ways back. Suddenly Naruto reached to his right and grabbed a snake by the neck; he looked it in the eye then threw it away to dodge a salvo of kunai; sensing a signature nearby, he teleported away to confront the attacker.

"Shit, where did that gaki go?" A tap on her shoulder made her turn around to receive a punch in the face where she flew into a tree and grunted in pain.

Naruto used his speed to get to the attacker and picked her up by the neck.

"Tell me why you attacked me and I might spare your life." Naruto said in a menacing tone which made the lady gulp in fear.

"Anko, that's my name…I was wondering who was in my forest. Broken nose, internal injuries, and possible broken back seeming I cannot feel my legs…I fucked with the wrong gaki." She thought at the end.

Naruto dropped Anko to the ground as he sensed no lie in her words.

"Naruto and I would refrain from doing that ever again, my training made me be constantly on guard and battle ready at moment's notice. Can you stand?"

Anko shook her head as blood dripped from her nose and she coughed up blood "Feels like I got run over by Manda…shit Gaki, I think you broke my back."

Naruto sighed, picked her up then teleported to the hospital but not before issuing an apology.

Hospital

Naruto arrived in the middle of the waiting room slightly scaring everyone, the receptionist saw Anko in a bad state and quickly called for Tsunade. A minute later she rushed out and stopped in bewilderment.

"Hashirama, is that you?"

Naruto shook his head in mirth, "I do look a little like him huh, but no. Naruto Namikaze at your service."

Tsuande smiled and motioned for him to follow so they could get a room, once there Naruto set Anko on the bed while Tsuande did a diagnostic jutsu.

"Well Anko, I think you messed with the wrong kid; ruptured spleen, temporary paralysis due to blunt force trauma, a broken nose with minor skull fractures, and a partridge in a pear tree."

Anko let out a quick laugh "Just heal me up. Hey Naruto, you can't be human to move that fast."

"Sorry, that is a secret I cannot reveal at this time." Naruto said quickly hoping she wouldn't press further.

Anko pouted and stuck out her tongue "Spoil sport."

After Tsunade healed Anko she told her that a couple days bed rest would be needed which made her angry. Naruto apologized again which Anko waved off and said it was her fault. Tsunade wanted to chat with Naruto but he said he needed to get his training done. When he arrived back at the Forest of Death, he decided to check the place out; after a couple hours he stopped at the river and noticed a shiny object on the bottom. Naruto swam to the bottom and grabbed the object, one he got back on shore and cleaned the silt off, he gasped at what it was; the One Star Ball.

Naruto groaned knowing this was not good and quickly teleported to the Other World to let Goku know.

Other World – King Kai's Planet

Naruto arrived and quickly ran inside to find Goku lounging on the couch; of course he recognized Naruto's signature.

"Hey Naruto, back so soon; forgot something?"

"No Goku, in fact I found something that should not belong on my planet." Naruto said with worry.

King Kai and Goku looked at the object Naruto had and gasped at the same time.

"Why is that on your planet? I merged with Shenron and the Dragonballs to bring peace to Earth meaning what you have should not exist; any ideas King Kai?"

The blue man shook his head "None at all."

Naruto started to play with the ball while he thought of possibilities; one eventually came up.

"It's a long shot, but do you think these Dragonballs can manifest themselves in times of great peril?"

Goku shrugged "To be honest, we only saw how Kami made the Dragonballs but he really didn't explain much else on their workings; I suppose it could be possible."

Naruto groaned and plopped himself down on the nearby love seat while looking at the ball then remembered something.

"Namek." Naruto whispered.

"What about the Namekians?" Goku said.

"They are the only planet with an extra set; I have to thank your memories for that one. Anyways, is it possible that one came to my planet years ago and hid their Dragonballs."

King Kai made a thinking sound "I don't see why not, the Namekians are a peaceful race and its possible one of their leaders decided that with the Dragonballs, greed could develop."

Naruto interrupted "Greed turns into unrest as one can misuse the powers to bring destruction; yes, that is the only option that makes sense."

"The question is why they are appearing now." Goku adds thought then put a hand on Naruto's shoulder "Naruto, whatever you do, make sure these don't fall into the wrong hands. In fact, I have just the thing to help."

Goku handed Naruto a Dragonball tracker.

"This will help you gather the other Dragonballs where I want you to keep them under lock and key; only use them if you feel the need to OK?"

Naruto smiled "Hai Goku, I best get going; thanks again."

Once Naruto disappeared, King Kai shook his head and voiced his concern.

"This is bad Goku, my predictions didn't foresee the Dragonballs coming into play; Naruto might have to use them to summon you back."

Goku's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree "I hope our theory on the origins of the Dragonballs on Naruto's planet are true as that's the only way to summon me and the others back."

Mountain Graveyard

"Have you found them yet?" A deep male voice echoed in the cave.

"Only two my master, may I ask why we are gathering these strange looking orange balls." A raspy voice spoke out.

"Simple, to gain my youth back and other means; soon the Elemental Nations will fall beneath my feet." The figure laughed maniacally as the second figure disappeared into the ground.
