Naruto was walking into the archive room and he found a box labeled "Namikaze." One of the scrolls peaked his interest. It had "Space" and "Time" on it. 'Maybe it's another one of dad's cool jutsus,' Naruto thought to himself.

"Hey kit. I wouldn't tamper with that if I were you."

"Kurama! Let me just take a peek!" the blond said giddily.

"Whatever. If you screw up, don't go blaming me," the fox said as he went into a slumber.

The blond quickly took out his kunai and cut the seal of the scroll open. He couldn't wait to see what was inside the scroll. However, as soon as he opened the scroll, a whirlpool sucked him in and the scroll closed itself. The blond, falling quickly through space and time, blacked out. When he awoke, he was in his old bedroom. "Arghhhh. What hit me?" the tired blond said.

"You idiot! You opened the scroll without properly removing the seal! That was one of your father's scrolls. Who knows what could have been in it."

"You worry too much Kurama," Naruto said. Naruto then proceeded to get out of bed, but as the blond got up, he realized that everything seemed different. Everything was bigger than it normally was. He went into the mirror and gasped. He looked exactly the way he did before he graduated from the academy. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!"

"It seems like your father's scroll sent you back in time. Considering how he used those teleportations through space, you must've opened a scroll that took us back in time. Way to go, idiot."

"Oh noooooo! I have to grow up again? I have to redo all these things! I even have to graduate again!" The blond yelled in his head.

"Hey kit. It ain't all that bad. I think you're still as strong as when you left. You got your connection with me still and you got your boundless chakra."

Kurama was right. Naruto could still do everything he was able to do before. He quickly sat down on the floor and tested if he could go into Sage Mode. In a matter of moments, Naruto's eyes became that of a frog's.

"Woahhh! You're right! Hmmm... This could be interesting." The blond said with an evil smile.

Naruto quickly went to the calendar to check the date. It was the day of graduation. He had a killer idea.

"I'm not gonna be dead last!" The blond screamed aloud.

"I would hope not. If you still were with the strength you've got now, then I'd be pretty disappointed in who I'm giving my chakra to. Then again, you have surpassed all the Hokage in stupidity." The fox said as he yawned.

Naruto was getting angry at Kurama, but then he realized something. "But wait a second. If dad had something like this at his disposal, couldn't he have fixed a lot of things that went wrong before?! Like Obito getting crushed or mom dying?!" Naruto yelled aloud.

"I don't think your father had the power of the Sage of Six Paths, kit."

"Aw crap! Oh well. Nothing we can do about it now." Naruto said nonchalantly.

The blond got up and quickly took a look around his room. It looked like a mess. Was he really this messy when he was twelve years old? He went into his closet and pulled out the cleaning supplies that Iruka had gotten for him. He then summoned some shadow clones and got his room clean in a half hour.

He then looked at his wallet and decided to go food and clothes shopping. He was pretty tired of his old attire. He first pulled off a transformation technique so that he wouldn't be overcharged (like most shop owners did knowing that he had the Kyuubi inside him) and went shopping at the local market. He got everything he needed for the week and then went clothes shopping. He found some black pants with orange lining running down his legs and found a black shirt with an orange swirl in the middle. He purchased both and headed back home to change. 'Wow. I can't believe I haven't thought of this before,' the blond thought as he got ready for the Academy.

On his way to the Academy, Naruto still got his occasional death stares from the local villagers, but he payed no mind to them. As he got to the classroom, he scanned the room for a seat. As luck would have it, he found a seat next to his love, Hinata. He remembered how they finally went on their first date two years after the 4th Ninja War ended. This time, he wouldn't let his ignorance make him wait a few years before finally getting to go on a date with her.

As Naruto sat next to her, Hinata's face got red. 'He's sitting next to me! Maybe he wants to talk. Maybe he likes me! ...no. He probably had no where else to sit. I should talk to him still!' She played with her fingers and finally got enough courage to talk to him. "He-llo N-N-Naruto. I l-l-like your n-new out-fit" she said.

"Thanks Hinata!" the blond said happily. He then began "So listen, Hinata..."

The blond was cut off as Iruka came in. He yelled "Take your seats everyone. We are about to start the written part of the exam. I hope you're all prepared for it. I think a lot of you would want to graduate this year." Iruka made a small glance towards Naruto.

The blond sighed as he told Hinata that he'd talk to her later. He then received his exam and started going through it fast. Even Kurama was impressed. "Wow kit. This may be the one time you do well on a written test" Kurama said.

As Naruto finished up, he quickly gave his test to Iruka with a smile on his face. Iruka quickly graded it and said, "Good job Naruto. You got a 68."

Kurama face faulted in Naruto's head. "Well, a passing grade is still a passing grade… Wait a sec, I think you did worse this time than you did last time!"

As everyone finished up, Iruka told everyone to come up when called and perform the clone jutsu. They needed to make at least. Sakura came up and produced 3 clones. Sasuke came up and produced 8 clones. When Naruto was called up, he used a different hand sign. He formed a cross with his fingers and yelled "Shadow Clone Jutsu." In an instant, the room was filled with dozens of Narutos.

Iruka had a look of shock on his face. Not only did Naruto make the most clones, but they were all solid. He congratulated Naruto and gave him his headband. Sasuke gave a pissed off glare at Naruto as he thought 'How did the dobe learn how to make shadow clones?'

As everyone exited the classroom, Naruto saw Hinata, but Hinata was with her father. Naruto figured he'd just talk to her the next day because he didn't want to have Hiashi chasing him with the Hyuga Sword.

When Naruto walked outside, he glanced at the swings by the Academy tree. He remembered when he was sitting there, depressed because he didn't graduate. But, not things were different. Though he did hear some parents say, "They let HIM graduate? Are they insane?" Naruto paid them no mind and kept a big grin on his face.

Even though he couldn't spend his day with Hinata, he was betting that Iruka was looking for an explanation for how he was able to pull off a Jonin-class ninjutsu. After class at his favorite ramen restaurant, Naruto told Iruka his well thought out lie about how he learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu. He said how he saw a guy in a mask and a guy in green spandex sparring with each other and saw the one in the mask pull of the jutsu. Iruka was impressed with Naruto and Kurama just snickered. "Kit, you deserve some credit for being able to pull that off." After Naruto finished off 12 bowls of ramen, he decided to thank Iruka and head home.

As Naruto returned home, he had high hopes for what was to come the next day.

Meanwhile, Iruka was being called off to the Hokage along with other shinobi. Lord Hokage told everyone that Mizuki had stolen the Sacred Forbidden Scroll and he had to be stopped. Iruka was shocked to hear that his fellow colleague had committed this crime. The shinobi quickly scattered in search of Mizuki.

'What's come over Mizuki? Never mind that. He can't get a chance to access the contents of that scroll. Who knows what will happen if Mizuki learns some of the deadliest ninjutsu.' Iruka thought. He quickly headed to the forest to see if Mizuki was there. Iruka quickly encountered Mizuki and asked him, "Why Mizuki? Why steal the scroll when we trusted you?"

"You're a fool, Iruka. Only a simpleton like you wouldn't understand the power this scroll has." Mizuki then got a killer idea. "Why don't you let me go Iruka? I'll do you a personal favor." Mizuki said with and evil smirk.

"What could I possibly want from you?" Iruka asked.

"Don't you want the Kyuubi dead? You know, the demon that hurt the village and took away your parents from you? You think a demon like that should be allowed to be a ninja? I don't know about you, but I bet a lot of villagers would see me as a hero if I just ended that pathetic brat." Mizuki said while laughing evilly.

Iruka smiled. "You're right. The Kyuubi shouldn't be a shinobi. I would do a lot to have the demon fox dead."

Mizuki smiled and then turned his head to run. But all of a sudden, a huge shuriken was implanted in his back. A shocked Mizuki fell over and saw Iruka's smiling face change to a serious one.

"But," Iruka continued, "Naruto isn't the demon fox! He's one of my best students who I have the utmost respect for. He's Naruto Uzumaki, the future Hokage!" Iruka yelled while knocking Mizuki out.

Iruka handed the giant scroll back to Lord Hokage and had the other ninja drag Mizuki to face his punishment. Mizuki was to go to a high facility prison for life. Meanwhile, a certain blond was in his home sleeping like a fox.
