I do not own Naruto and I never will. It belongs to Masashi Kishimoto and who ever else has any claims to it. Please enjoy the story and review at the end. Thank you.

In one lifetime Uzumaki Naruto had slept through a particular lesson in the Academy. Umino Iruka had hit him in the head with a piece of chalk in that lifetime but Naruto still fell back asleep. Mizuki had said he'd catch Naruto up on the lesson later and then didn't.

In this lifetime Mizuki was out with a cold and Iruka had decided to walk up to Naruto and hit him over the head with The History of Konoha from Founding to Now. Naruto woke up right then and there and deemed it in his mind most important to stay awake and listen to the lesson.

Even if it was a boring history lesson and he felt he'd be better of sleeping.

"Alright class we're going to be going over the Hokages' and their lives today. Please open up your books to page thirty-five to start reading about Senju Hashirama, the Shodaime Hokage."

"Senju Hashirama was from the famed Senju clan known as the 'Clan with a thousand skills'. He was the son of Senju Butsuma and had three younger brothers." Iruka started his lecture and made sure his students were reading along before he was interrupted.

"Sensei?!" A pink haired student called out. "If the Shodaime had three younger brothers how come he only had Tobirama when they were both adults?"

"Because Sakura-chan in the Warring States Era many children died on the battlefield at a young age. It was from his brothers' deaths that Hashirama desired to make a place where young children would not be forced out onto the battlefield to fight and die."

Iruka looked very solemn as he said this. After all the children in front of him were only seven years old. If they had been alive during the Warring States Era more than three fourths of them would be dead.

"Ahem. Continuing on. His brothers were named in order from oldest to youngest: Tobirama, Itama, and Kawarama. Later in life Hashirama married Uzumaki Mito the youngest daughter of the Uzumaki clan head Uzumaki Akio. Hashirama was twenty-five and Uzumaki Mito was seventeen. They had three children and later in life they had two grandchildren the Sanin Senju Tsunade a renown Medic-"

Here Iruka cut off and looked pointedly at all of the girls in the room. Specifically the fangirls.

"..and Senju Nawaki who died tragically at the age of twelve."

Naruto thanks to being hit over the head with a book earlier had been able to hear the name Uzumaki. Additionally it was in a way that hadn't been mocking, hateful, or disgusted. Actually it was used rather reverently.

That was what caused Naruto jump out of his seat and point at Iruka to shout out, "She has the same name as me!"

Iruka blinked at the unexpected outburst from Naruto. Not that outbursts from Naruto were really surprises, but pointing out name similarities wasn't an often one.

"Well yes, she does Naruto."

"Then we're related!"

Here Iruka got a tic mark on in his and explained to Naruto rather irritatedly why he could not be related to Uzumaki Mito.

"Naruto I told you Uzumaki Mito married Senju Hashirama. The had one boy and two girls. One of the girls died when she was sixteen on a mission and the other became a nun. The boy only father Tsunade and Nawaki."

"Yeah Naruto! Don't try and claim fame just cause of a name!" Sakura cried out.

A lot of murmuring of agreement echoed throughout the room.

Naruto's ears flushed red.

"I wasn't talking about being directly related to her! People call me an idiot. I said she had the same name as me! If she was an Uzumaki doesn't that mean that there were more?"

The room went quiet at this rare smart revelation from their loudmouthed blond prankster. Even Iruka felt a little embarrassed at his mistake and felt a need to make it up to his student.

"I'm sorry Naruto. I didn't realize what you meant. However I must point out a few things The Uzumaki were known for the vitality, red hair, and fuinjutsu. Also it was during the Second Shinobi War that Uzushiogakure was wiped out by Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri."

The boy looked a bit put out, but then his eyes came to life burning with passion as he spoke.

"That doesn't mean anything. People can escape from villages and battles; who's gonna say that there were any survivors."

"Well, yes-"

"Red hair doesn't have anything to do with it either. What were the hair colors of Hashirama's children and grandchildren."

"Hashirama-sama's son was a brunette, his sixteen year old was a brunette, and the nun was the only redhead. Tsunade is a blonde and Nawaki was a brunette."

"See. As for the fuinjutsu that doesn't sound like it's hereditary is it?"

"No-"

"Nobody's ever taught me it. So there."

Everyone in the room was silent. Part from the facts that had been laid out in front of them and part that Naruto was actually using his head for something smart.

"Sakura-chan I think you owe Naruto an apology."

Said girl flushed and tried to defend her self.

"But sensei-"

"No buts Sakura-chan the Uzumaki were a respectable clan in Konoha and we ninja felt deeply for their loss."

Grudgingly Sakura turn to the blond idiot and through gritted teeth got out her apology.

Naruto was just happy that he got that class to shut up about his relation to Mito.

'Now' Naruto thought 'It's time to do some research on Uzumaki Mito.'

Please review the story and tell me what you think. I update may be sporadic, but I'll try to do them quickly. Thank you again for reading.
