Ok, so here is my first fanfic. Truthfully I see this as practice for my actual story, so please review and tell me about spelling/grammar and anything else that you want to bring to my attention. Also, since this is practice for me, I will not waste the effort to translate all of my original jutsus (please forgive me). However, I will leave as many of other jutsus in their original Japanese. This story takes places after the Chuunin exam prelims, with almost no changes up to that point, either I or the story (flashbacks) will tell you of any and all changes in the story line up to that point. So now that that is out of the way…

I do NOT own Naruto, even in my dreams…

Naruto was furious. Actually the word "furious" doesn't even come close to describe the level of anger the orange-clad boy was radiating. In fact this specific level of anger probably deserved a word of its own. What on God's good earth could make this boy so mad? Simple, a certain fate-obsessed Hyuuga with a superiority complex.

-Flashback-

Naruto was watching the Hyuugas in their match at the prelims. Neji charged an almost unconscious Hinata. He was going to end this fight. He was going to avenge his father. He was going to remove this pathetically weak girl from the Hyuuga clan and get away with it. It was the Chuunin Exams, after all.

Suddenly his open palm was deflected by a Jyuuken strike. Everyone froze as they looked at the person that had deflected Neji's attack. It was Naruto. It took a whole ten seconds for this to register in anyone's brain. "Naruto…the dead last…used…the…Jyuuken!?" Everyone, excluding Shino, looked shocked. And everyone, including Shino, was thinking "How on earth does Naruto know the Jyuuken? How can he even use it without the Byakugan?"

Naruto simply stared into Neji's pupiless eyes. And Neji found himself wavering under his gaze. He averted his eyes over to Hinata, who was barely standing, and staring in absolute shock at her crush. Naruto then spoke in a voice that demanded respect. "He said, the match was called, Neji. Back down. Now." Neji surprised himself and obeyed the orange clad boy.

Naruto then turned around to Hinata, he walked over and hugged her. On contact Hinata blushed "HE'S HUGGING ME!"

Before anyone could think "What is going on?" both of them were enveloped in a red chakra. "Fox's Healing Jutsu." Naruto said. Hinata started smoking for a brief second, and then it stopped. Naruto turned around and looked directly at the offender. "Neji Hyuuga. I find you guilty for attempted murder. For this, I swear to you on my nindo, that I will cripple you, for life." And before anyone could say anything else, Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Finally someone spoke up. "What just happened?"

-End Flashback-

Naruto turned the corner, "That's it! That's the last straw! He thinks he so high and mighty because he's a genius…Well I'm going to show him what a real genius looks like." Naruto walked into his apartment and opened his closet, he reached behind the ugly, eyesores the shopkeeper called a jumpsuit, and pulled out a box. "It's time they know who the real Naruto is…"

Later that night, at the Hyuuga compound, Hiashi Hyuuga was sitting in his personal library, enjoying a good book and a cup of green tea. However, for some reason, his book was just not as interesting as the events his daughter had told him about. It seemed slightly unreal, but then again, the Namikazes always seemed to surprise him. "So Minato's son can use the Jyuuken, I'll have to ask him how he compensates for the Byakugan…" Something behind him made a noise, he found nothing, and his Byakugan told him there was no genjutsu, but he knew there was something in front of him.

"Good evening, Lord Hiashi." Said a voice that came from nowhere.

"I was just thinking on how the Namikazes never cease to amaze me." Hiashi said with a smile a Naruto rippled into view, wearing a coat that looked just like the Fourth's with the exception of the Kanji, which now read 'Fox'.

"You do realize you have just told me my heritage, something that was not supposed to happen when I became a Chuunin."

"That didn't stop you from finding your father's box."

"Touche…"

"So, why have you decided to appear before me?"

"I need some information."

"About?"

"The Hyuuga clan, what else?"

"I see, may I ask if it has anything to do with threatening to cripple my nephew?"

"Yes it does."

Hiashi nodded, he knew it was impossible to talk the boy out of it. He was the son of the Fourth, the most stubborn of the Hokages "I see, may I inquire as to why you want to do that to my nephew."

"He hurt someone precious to me. That is unacceptable."

"You do know that despite the fact that he tried to kill her she really loves her cousin."

"If I had a family I might understand that."

"Naruto, if you're referring to the fact that I didn't adopt you, Sandaime was keeping you safe by keeping your identity a secret, and if I had adopted you, too much suspicion would have been aroused."

"All the same, since you didn't adopt me, I grew up with the only comfort being the thing responsible for all of my torment and pain."

"Calm down, kit. It wasn't his fault." Kyuubi said to the ranting boy.

"Fine, fine, forget I brought that up." Naruto said, "But, all the same I need some information."

"Very, well what do you need it on?"

"Neji, why he has such a annoying, fate-obsessed, Oh-so-much-holier-than-thou attitude."

"Ah, now that's a story…" Hiashi went on to explain about Neji's father and the history the two brothers had. Naruto remained impassive. When he finished the story Hiashi asked Naruto "Is there anything else you need?"

"Yes, I'm going to need some of your Jyuuken scrolls."

"Alright."

"Alright? No objections about the Jyuuken being a secret family taijutsu?"

"Well, as far as I'm concern, it will only be a matter of time before you become family, after all, my daughter will definitely accept the engagement to you, and you already know the Jyuuken, or at least its basics."

"So you heard about that?"

"Yes, and I must say I'm impressed, may I ask how you learned the style."

"When you have had a being as old as time locked into your stomach you pick up a few things."

"So where did he learn it?"

"He didn't tell me, something about keeping a mysterious personality."

"Well you have access to my library, feel free to come and go as you please, wearing that of course." Hiashi said, pointing to the coat Naruto was wearing.

"Of course, thank you Lord Hiashi." Naruto said as he bowed.

"You know, if you are dropping the mask, your fiancé should be the first one to know."

"I'll take care of it, don't you worry about a thing, except the health of your nephew."

Hiashi sighed as Naruto rippled into invisibility. His father's stubbornness was definitely one of his most prominent characteristics; he hoped his grandchildren wouldn't take after his father in that regard.

Hinata was walking around the compound in a gorgeous kimono wondering about her crush. "How does Naruto know the Jyuuken? How did he heal me so fast?" She blushed, thinking on the contact between them. "Well, all good things must come to an end." She sighed. She walked into her room, looking for a change of clothes; she was going to go out for her daily "Naruto-reconnaissance" rounds.

She took out her jacket, and was about to put it on her desk, when she saw an envelope sitting there. "What is this?" She opened it up and read it…

To Hinata, the most beautiful girl in the world.

This is your favorite, orange-clad Genin.

She nearly fainted reading that.

Now don't faint on me, I can't risk anyone seeing this letter, by the way, please burn this after reading it, sorry you can't keep it as proof that I love you, but, this is very important.

The previous warning was the only thing that kept her on her two feet; she could not let herself fail him.

Now there are some very important things I need to tell you. The first is, I am a genius, you probably guessed this when I used that Jyuuken strike, if not then I must be one amazing actor. The second is a SS-class secret. I am the son of Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki.

The third and fourth secrets are related. Now promise me and yourself that you will not make any judgements until you have read both secrets. The third is that Kyuubi, the nine tailed fox is neither a demon nor is he responsible for the attack on Konoha, and he was forced to do so by Manda Uchiha. The fourth secret is another SS-class secret, but it answers the all important question on how do I know any of this. The truth is, Kyuubi was sealed into me.

Hinata dropped the letter. Naruto, her crush was the vessel of a demon? "No, Kyuubi is no demon, Naruto said so. Naruto wouldn't lie." She picked up the letter and continued reading.

I realize that this information may have compromised your view of me, but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't tell you. So it was rather necessary that I tell you. If you want to talk to me go to the training grounds you normally find me, yes I know you follow me. Now remember to burn this, I'm truly sorry you cannot keep it, I will wait for you at the training grounds, hope to see you there.

Love

Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze

Hinata changed faster than she thought was possible, and ran out of the compound. She ran to the forest, and headed to Naruto's special training ground. She saw him sitting on one of the high branches, and landed next to him. "H-h-h-hello, N-Naruto-kun."

"Hey Hinata-chan, I'm over that way." Naruto said pointing to a small clearing.

Hinata looked very confused, then suddenly it dawned on her that this was a shadow clone, she nodded and jumped away. This time she landed in the clearing. She looked over to Naruto who was standing next to a man with red hair and what looked like nine tails behind him. The man was also chained to Naruto. She looked at him, curious, who was he and what was he doing chained to Naruto. "H-h-hello N-Naruto-kun, m-m-may I ask who he is?"

"Hey Hinata-chan, yes you may ask, this is Kyuubi."

There you go, Chapter 1! Hope you enjoyed it!
