Story Start

The village of Konoha, since it was established it has been the greatest of ninja villages. With the training of some of the greatest ninja clans and even the ninja themselves that were orphaned since birth, have become legends. The forth Hokage(Fire Shadow)is one such legend, with his victory against the Kyuubi no kitsune (nine tailed fox) at the cost of his life, thirteen years ago, has made his story immortal in the eyes of history.

Konoha is still the greatest of the five ninja villages, even with most of their forces obliterated by the Kyuubi; they have yet to fully recover their numbers, are still the most powerful against their enemies. To see the village from its main gates is to witness the Hokage monument, with faces of the previous leaders of the village, watching over the future carved into the cliff face of the village.

But if any of the other villages were to witness what has been done to the monument, they would be laughing on the ground at what a fifteen year boy has done to said monument. The Monument was covered in painted graffiti, giving the first been a bloody nose, the second a derp tonge, the third a bloody nose with tears, and the last spirals on each cheek.

The boy has blond hair, deep blue eye, whisker birthmarks on each cheek and wearing a (kill me now) orange jumpsuit. This boy was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, who is currently running faster than any of the current members of the AMBU corps. He then runs into the only person that he would willingly catch him after pulling any of his many pranks, his teacher at the academy, Iruka Umino. He is then tied up and taken to class, and then scolded for pulling pranks before graduation.

"Naruto if you want to be more conscious of what your actions do to others." Iruka scolded Naruto and then turned to the rest of the class and said "now class we will now review the transformation technique, just transform into someone else."

We now proceed to witness most of the students transform into perfect or almost perfect versions of Iruka, and all the crazy fan girls change into a certain Emo teme. Then last but not least we see Naruto step up and change into an older naked female girl with long blond hair in pigtails with the only thing covering her is the cloud of smoke. This in turn sends Iruka through the wall behind him with a bloody nose, Naruto and the rest of the class is laughing aswell.

Two Hours later-Hokage Monument

After being scolded by Iruka once again we find Naruto tied to some rope around his waist, scrubing the paint off of the Hokage Monument with Iruka supervising.

"Hurry up Naruto, it's getting late and we have to be at the academy tomorrow morning." Iruka yelled down to Naurto.

"Then head on home Iruka sensei, it will be cleaned up by morning," responded Naruto then whispered, "it's not like there is anyone waiting for me at home."

Iruka looked down at Naruto, for a moment as he heard what Naruto had whispered, and then thought to himself –I'm sorry Naruto, I wish I could do more to help you, maybe...- "hey Naruto, sooner you get this done the sooner we can go for ramen" Iruka yelled down to Naruto.

"Alright, then it is a good thing I used a paint the can be washed off," Naruto revealed to Iruka, who was shocked.

"Wait, you used paint that would wash off," Iruka questioned Naruto, who nodded and continued to scrub, then Iruka asked "Did you know you were going to be caught doing this to the monument.'

Naruto replied, "I heard some guy in green tights talking to a older kid, about how it was going to rain tonight. So I figured it would wash off by morning."

"That pretty smart of you Naruto, using Intel to make plans and retrieving the necessary components, to succeed," Iruka Complimented and Naruto continued to scrub with a smile on his goofy face.

Later-Ichiraku Ramen

Iruka and Naruto were currently eating some Miso Ramen, when Iruka asked Naruto why he defaced the Hokage Monument.

"I wanted my final prank to be remembered for years to come, and to prove that I have the skills to become a ninja." answered Naruto honestly.

This shocked Iruka into silence, until he asked Naruto why he really did it, and got the same response. The Ichiraku's were equally shocked.

As Naruto finished his fifth bowl of ramen, he got up to leave and said, "I will see you tomorrow Iruka sensei." Leaving the still shocked teacher and chefs.

Half Hour Later-Naruto's Apartment

Naruto's Apartment is in the most poorest locations in the village, it had running water and electricity, but no hot water and it was robbed from at least once a month.

"I'm home," Naruto said to the one person who has helped him survive for as long as he has, which is strange since this person died several millennia ago. The ghost of Musashi.

"I see you were caught, like I said you would," replied Musashi.

Musashi is a humanoid shadow with red eyes and a hooded red vest coat with a katana handle sticking on top of the hood (for better description look up Kamen Rider Ghost for the Musashi parka ghost) and is currently sitting on one of the two chairs. Also Naruto is the only one that can see him.

"Least I used the washable paint otherwise I would still be washing it of the giant stone faces," Naruto responded, "and some free ramen, so I don't need to go into my supplies."

Musashi nodded and told Naruto to get some rest for tomorrow is the big day.

The Next Day-Academy Classroom

Naruto entered the class room. In the classroom is Iruka along with a complete scumbag of a teacher Mizuki Tsuiseki, who all the more wealthy students know excepts bribes to pass the students, or fail Naruto (we all know who). To pass the exam all Naruto had to do was the simplest clone jutsu (technique) know to Konoha, which made mirages of the caster. Naruto concentrated as hard as he could, but with his high levels of chakra (life energy), he failed. Even if Muzaki didn't sabotage him, he would have failed any way; he just has too much chakra. Then Muzaki tries to reason with Iruka into passing Naruto, knowing that it wouldn't work, to make his plans for Naruto to come to completion.

Ten minutes later-outside the academy

We find Naruto watching the other students talking to their parents about passing the final exams. Then Muzaki goes up to Naruto and tells him a secret way in becoming a ninja for the village.

Several hours later-Forest inside Konoha

We find Naruto covered in dirt and scuff marks exhausted. Then Iruka arrived.

"Naruto do you know what you have done?," Iruka asked concerned for his student.

"I was told by Muzaki-sensei that if I steal the forbidden scroll and learn one of the jutsus' in the scroll you would pass me, and I would get to become a ninja." Naruto answered. Then he was knocked out of the way of a barrage of kunai (throwing knives) by Iruka who was hit by said kunai.

"Naruto hand me the scroll and you pass," Muzaki yelled to Naruto.

"Naruto don't, he's betraying the village and is using you as the scapegoat," Iruka yelled.

Naruto stopped wide eye, as he realises what he has done.

"Hey Naruto want to know why the village hates you," Muzaki yells.

"Muzaki don't its forbidden," yells Iruka.

"It's because the Forth Hokage couldn't kill the kyuubi no Kitsune, so he sealed it into a new born baby and that child is you. You killed hundreds of ninja and civilians. You Killed Iruka's Parents. You are the Kyuubi no Kitsune!" finished Muzaki.

Naruto is shocked, and soon Naruto realises that there is some truth to what Muzaki said. The beatings on his birth day, the treatment from most of the adults and the hatred directed at him, it all makes sense to him. During this realisation Muzaki draws one of the two large shriken (throwing star) and throws it at Naruto, who doesn't move to dodge the blade. Though he was saved by Iruka, who got the blade to the shoulder blade, this shocked Naruto and he could only ask, "Why?"

"Naruto, we are the same. Like you I smile to hide the pain of being alone, no one to lookout and support me," Iruka confessed, "Now take the scroll and keep it away from Muzaki."

Naruto nodded and ran. He found a spot and hid his chakra so that no one could find him. Then a couple minutes later found Iruka disguised as Naruto staring down Muzaki, before undoing the transformation.

"Why do you protect the Kyuubi brat?" Muzaki yelled.

"I'm not. I'm protect my student from being forced down a path that was not of his choosing," Iruka exclaimed with conviction, "I'm protecting Naruto Uzumaki! Future Hokage of Konoha!"

Naruto was shocked that Iruka has so much faith in him, and with determination made a decision.

"Then die you demon follower," Muzaki yelled, but when he went to throw his second large shuriken, he was hit in the back of the head by two sandaled feet of Naruto.

"Stay away, from my sensei," Naruto says in frightening determination.

"Or what," Muzaki replies in a mocking tone.

"This! 'Shadow Clone Jutsu'!" yells Naruto and he creates a thousand physical clones and proceeds to beat up Muzaki. Iruka is shocked that not only did Naruto do a clone jutsu, but the most complex and chakra intensive clone jutsus'.

After Naruto is finished beat Muzaki to a pulp, he walk up to Iruka and says "I think I over did it."

Then Iruka tells Naruto to come closer and close his eyes. Iruka then takes off his headband and ties it to Naruto's head. Naruto opens his eyes after and sees Iruka smiling.

"Congratulations Graduate, let's go and get ramen to celebrate," Iruka congradulated.

Then behind Naruto, Muzaki starts to get up shaking and yells, "you both are going to die by my hand," pulls out a vial of glowing liquid, "and Orochimaru has given me the power to do it." He then drinks the vial and transforms into a humanoid tiger. After his transformation is done he attacks with enhanced speed and knocks Naruto away, before holding Iruka in the air by his throat.

Secret Underground Bunker under Konoha-exact same moment

An orb of glowing orange energy shot out of a seal vault and headed up through the roof towards the surface. Once it emerged from the ground, it went straight to Naruto's Location in the forest.

With Naruto

The orb landed in Naruto's hand, and changed into a black robotic eye (Search Ghost Eyecon from Kamen Rider Ghost) then he press a button on the side of the eye and the eye had a capital 'G' appear in it. As well as a belt that looks like a ghost with a closed eye.

-Bacchiri Minaa-(Let's Watch) stared to sound in the back ground.

"What is that?" Muzaki turned towards Naruto, who using instinct, placed the eye in the belt, then pulled and pushed the lever in.

-Let's go! Get ready! Go-Go-Go-Ghost! Go Go Go Go-

Naruto is then covered in orange lines as a hooded black coat is then flying around him. The coat is black with an orange inlay and has short sleeves. Naruto is then covered in a black bodysuit with glowing orange lines and blue eye symbol on his chest. His face orange with two large black circles and a sliver with blue inlay horn. Where he finally the combines with Naruto turning him into 'Ghost'.

Back At Naruto's Apartment

Musashi sensed that Naruto's true power had finally awaken. So he got up and his body dissolved leaving him as only the red coat with the katana themed tassels as arms and flue towards Naruto.

Back With Naruto

"What just Happen?" was Naruto's only response to what just happened to him, as he pulls the hood down.

"Your tricks won't work on me!" exclaimed Muzaki, as he charged at Naruto and once again using instinct, Naruto pulled and pushed the lever in. Causing his right boot to glow and the belt exclaimed.

-Omega Drive-

Naruto then jump kicked Muzaki in the chest, which caused Muzaki to go flying backwards past Iruka and exploding against a tree then exploding. Naruto then looked down and pulled the eye from the belt to change back. He then ran to the closest tree and puked on it. Iruka saw this and smiles while walking Naruto and patted his back, until Naruto finished puking.

"Was it like that for you?" Naruto asked Iruka.

He responded by say, "yeah, my sensei helped through it. I did the same thing you did, and my sensei said that it proves that we are still human."

Then Iruka helps up Naruto and they both walk back towards village.

A Minutes later

A group of ten ROOT AMBU (ANBU is the black Ops of the village) showed up. Their leader stepped forward and orders in a commanding but emotionless tone, "Hand over the Eyecon and the Forbidden Scroll."

After hearing this Naruto exclaims, "Who are you? You're not the old man's guards."

"Then we will have to take them by force," the ROOT AMBU Captain threatened, unaware of the danger behind him, as Musashi appeared out of thin air, and knock some of the ROOT AMBUs out of his way to Naruto. Where he flies into him. Naruto's eyes are closed as he begins to glow red and a red Eyecon appears in his hand. He sees the new eyecon in his hand and presses the button on the side, and like before a belt with a ghostly closed eye and lever appears around his waist.

-Bacchiri Minaa-Played in the background as he place the Musashi eyecon in the belt. Then he pulled out and pushed in the lever. –Kaigan: Musashi! Ketto! Zubatto! Cho Kengo!-

This caused the black body suit to cover Naruto once again but this time instead of the hooded short sleeve coat, there is Musashi coat form flying around before attaching itself to Naruto like a coat and instead of the orange face plate, a black face plate with two red swords crossing each other. Naruto then summons two strange Katanas, they are red like his coat with chrome silver inlay, the strange part about them is that they have vertical cross guards with the eye symbol that is on his chest, as well as triggers on the handles. Naruto then gets into a dual sword battle stance.

"Come on then," Naruto taunted the ANBU.

The ROOT ANBU then draws their long daggers and attacked Naruto. Naruto deflected the first attacker, and cut his back to disable him. The second and third attacker, attacked at the same time with a double downward slash, which Naruto blocked with his katanas then with twist of the wrist, knocked the blades out of the hands before slashing into the ANBU chests. The fourth ANBU stayed back while the rest engaged Naruto in close quarters, and while Naruto was distracted by fighting the AMBU the fifth AMBU throws a Kunai with an explosive note, killing the six ANBUs and knocking Naruto into a tree staggered.

"Now to kill you," the Root AMBU captain says after killing his comrades, then collapses after being impaled by a hand covered in lightning.

The hand belongs to one of the Hokage's ANBU guards, with gravity deifying silver hair and a dog mask to hide his face. This is the ANBU known as Inu, who was the last person Naruto saw before falling unconscious.

An hour Later – The Hokages Office

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage, has survived three ninja wars and leading Konoha to victory twice. Even in his old age he is a force to be reckoned with. He had retired fifthteen years ago, but had to retake the seat of Hokage after the forth sacrificed his life to save the village. He did not mind responsibility of being Hokage. The paperwork on the other hand, because over ninety percent of it is stuff the civilian counsel pulled out their butts. Examples of this, is the mandatory colour toilet paper, or that all internal D-rank missions should be done before the civilians thought of doing it.

At this moment in time we find Sarutobi smoking his pipe listening to Inu and Irukas' report on what happened. After Naruto fell unconscious his transformation undid itself and all the ROOT AMBU were cremated by hidden seals under their masks. Then Inu took Naruto home so that he could rest, due to mild chakra exhaustion.

"From your report, that Naruto has definitely unlocked his mother's Bloodline," Sarutobi said aloud, "We cannot hide his mother identity or clan from Naruto any longer."

"And his father?" Inu questioned.

"No, if the wrong people his father's identity, civilians clam we are lying and some of the other villages will send assassins," Sarutobi explained, "then there is those that will want to keep what is rightfully his away from him." Finished Sarutobi with a sigh.

"Let's just tell Naruto, he will be mad enough as it is, that we kept this a secret," Inu replied.

"Why was his mother's identity a secret from him?" Iruka questioned.

"Because she is known as the 'Red Death' to her enemies," answered Sarutobi.

Iruka was shocked. Who wouldn't be when you discover one of the legends of third ninja war is related to your friend. Then he realises what this means, Naruto will be targeted for his bloodline and the clan secrets that he doesn't even know.

"I understand, just promise me that you tell everything and return anything that was taken from him," Iruka finished.

"By my will of fire, I will," Sarutobi pledged.

Naruto's Mind

Naruto awakened in a damp sewer and his first thought was, -did the villages throw me into the sewer again- Then he heard a voice to calling him, so he followed it and came to large cage, while trying to see what is inside, a large burn orange furred claw sprang out in an attempt get him. He stood his ground realising where he is.

"I see my prison has decided to meet me in person," observed the large creature in the cage. The creature is large, covered in burnt orange fur, with a humanoid torso, the head and rear legs of a fox, and finally nine tails behind him. This is the Kyuubi no Kitsune. "I expected you to be quaking in fear."

"If you could get out, you would have gotten out already," replied Naruto, not fearing the fox.

"You're smarter than you look," the Kyuubi commented.

"I try to get more than one side of the story," Naruto explained then said, "now, how about we ask each other questions about ourselves and the other answers honestly."

"Okay, I will play along," replied the Kyuubi.

"Okay. My first question, do you have a name? Because the name 'Kyuubi no Kitsune' sounds more like a title," Naruto asks shocking the Kyuubi for a moment, before the fox smiles.

"Your right it is a title," the Kyuubi answer. "My name is Kurama.'

"It's nice to meet you Kurama, I am Naruto Uzumaki," he replied.

"It is good to meet you as well, though I am surprised that was your first question. Why is that?" Kurama asked.

"Well I figured it would the best idea to get to know the friend I didn't know I had," he answers shock Kurama once again.

"What makes you say that we are friends," Kurama asked with suspicion.

"When I found out about you I realised, that you were probably the one who healed me, every time I was hospitalised," Naruto answers honestly. "You've been with me all my life, and all you've is kept me alive. Thank you Kurama."

"I see you two have met," Musashi says as he hovers.

"Musashi sensei, what was that in the forest," Naruto yells wanting answers.

"Sarutobi, will have a scroll for you head straight to his office when you wake up, and all will be explained," Musashi answered.

The Next Morning-Hokages office

Naruto entered the office with determination in finding out what happened to him last night.

"Hello Naruto, I see you are recovered," Sarutobi said with relief that Naruto is okay.

"Hey, old man I was told you have a scroll for me," Naruto replied.

Sarutobi nodded and walked to the picture of the Forth Hokage and revealed a locked safe. After opening the safe and retrieving seal scroll, then locking the safe before sitting back behind the desk.

"Naruto, what happened to you, was that you activated your mother's clan bloodline, known as the 'Legacy Rider'," started Sarutobi. "Your mother's identity hidden from you so that the enemies she made in the past, wouldn't come after you and her name was Kushina Uzumaki."

"Who were her enemies," question Naruto.

"Mainly ninja from Lightning Country, but also some of the civilian counsel hated her for the burden you now bear," Sarutobi finished, shocking Naruto.

"Thank you for telling me the truth old man," Naruto finally replied with a single tear running down his cheek.

Then a loud yell was heard from a young boy, who just barged in. Screaming, "time to die old man," before tripping on his scarf, that is too long for his short height. Proceeding to fall on his face. "What happened?"

"Who's the kid?" questioned Naruto before being interrupted.

"You tripped me," The boy accused. Then standing in front of Naruto, and grabbing shirt. This resulted in Naruto pulling up the boy by his shirt and then says.

"You tripped on your own scarf," Naruto responded annoyed, "So don't blame others for your own mistakes."

Then a chunin (Middle Ninja), wearing a black mid length sleeve shirt, black pants bandaged at the ankles and small round rimmed sunglasses while wearing the Konoha symbol as a bandana, entered the room and yelled at Naruto.

"Put him down! Do you know who that is?" Naruto shakes his head no, "That is the honourable grandson of the Hokage!"

Naruto looks at the boy then at the Hokage, who nodded, and the back at the boy.

"I don't care who he is related to, he shouldn't blame people for something they didn't do," Naruto exclaims before bopping the boy on the head. Then walked up to the Hokage, who handed the scroll over to him, before leaving. Without noticing the look of wonder the kid was staring at him with.

The Path towards Ichiraku Ramen-ten minutes later

Those who don't know Naruto would say that he is a lazy, dim witted, impatient and would never survive being a ninja. The truth is that, he is not lazy or impatient, he not book smart, but is street smart. The only reason that people think that he won't survive being a ninja, is because he is an orphan and the sabotage that occurred during the academy.

At this time Naruto was walking down the street to get something to eat, while being followed by the Hokage's Grandson. The boy was poorly hiding behind trees, sheets and small rocks. This continued until he got to Ichirakus and he sat down.

"Hey old man, two bowls of miso ramen, for me and the kid following me," Naruto requests, and then hears the kid grumble.

The kid walks into the stand and takes a seat.

"You knew I was following you?" the kid asks, disappointed that he couldn't sneak up on Naruto. "Why did you not do anything sooner?"

"You're just curious," was Naruto's answer. "Sit and have some ramen. This is the best ramen in the world."

So the boy sat down, and had his first bite of his ramen. Then after tasting ramen for the first time and opened his eyes wide. It tasted amazing, so he then started to devour the ramen like a certain blond.

"This is amazing!" the kid exclaimed between mouthfuls. Bringing a smile to the two chefs and to Naruto.

"That is good to hear," Naruto replied. "But I have to know why did you attack the old man?"

"My names Konahamaru, my grandpa named me, but no one calls me that. It is always honourable grandson," was the answer that Konahamaru had for Naruto. "If I beat grandpa then everyone will know me for me and not who my family are."

Naruto frowns at this and says, "If you want people see you for you, then focus on becoming stronger and show everyone the true you with your actions, Konohamaru."

This caused Konohamaru to look at Naruto with wide eyes. He called him by his name and not title, which earned Naruto, Konohamaru's respect as well as the attention of a shadow wearing a green hooded coat with short sleeves, and a yellow feather on the hood.

"Could you teach me the jutsu that you used to knock out my grandpa?" Konohamaru requests causing Naruto to smirk.

"Only if you promise me that use it for good, and pranks against perverted jerks," was Naruto's answer and received a determined nod from Konohamaru. "Then eat up, once we are done eating, I'll teach you the jutsu."

They both continue eating their food until they finish and walk to the forested area. Where Naruto taught Konohamaru the 'Sexy no Jutsu' over the next hour.

One hour later

Naruto and Konahamaru are sitting down on an old fallen log, resting as they have been working up a sweat with the charkra they have used up. As they were resting the chunin from earlier arrives.

"Honourable Grandson, stay away from that boy and you must come with me for your studies," the chunin ordered. "Only with my knowledge will you be able to become Hokage, for it is the shortest path."

Naruto looks at the chunin annoyed and asks Konohamaru, "Who is this guy and what is the bullshit about 'shortest path' in becoming Hokage?"

"That is Ebisu sensei, he is teaching me everything I need to know about being Hokage," was the answer from Konohamaru. "He says that if I follow his teachings I will be the strongest Hokage by the time I turn chunin."

"So he is teaching you what sacrifices you'll have to make," Naruto said causing Konohamaru to look at him confused. Naruto then elaborated, "You have to put the people first, before your own desires, even if it means losing those you care about or even your very life. To be Hokage is to fight and protect the future of Konoha and to make the life or death decisions for that future. There is no 'Shortest path' because there is no shortcuts in earning the respect of others, only a person's actions and determination can a person achieve the dreams."

This angered Ebisu and caused the green hooded shadow in the trees above, to nod in agreement.

"Honourable Grandson, Only with my teachings can you become Hokage," Ebisu proclaimed then looked towards Naruto and said, "Now let's leave before this boys stupidity rubs off on you."

This upsets Konohamaru, but before he could say anything Naruto yells at Ebisu, "His Name is Konohamaru!"

This angers Ebisu even more, where he takes a step forward only to be knocked away from Naruto and Konohamaru, by a floating short sleeved green hood coat with sword sheaths for arms and a yellow feather on it hood. Naruto is shocked in seeing another ghost and Konohamaru asks, "What the hell is that!?" at the top of his lungs. The Ghost turns towards Naruto and flies into the ghostly belt that appeared around Naruto's waist. Ebisu then gets up once again, this takes Naruto out of his shock and he makes a hand sign.

"' Shadow Clone Jutsu'" summoning ten clones, who then preformed the 'Sexy Jutsu'. Knocking Ebisu out, due to bloodloss. Then looking to Konohamaru, and saying, "To be Hokage also means knowing when not to fight." Teaching Konohamaru an important lesson and bringing a smile to a crystal ball snooping old man. Naruto then took Konohamaru home and told him not to tell anyone about the ghost, before heading home himself.

That night-Naruto's Apartment

Naruto sat down at his dining table before pulling out the scroll he got earlier from the Hokage. Examining the scroll he sees that it sealed using the same symbol that was armour that appeared when he first transformed. Then after thinking on it he pull out the eyecon that turned him into Ghost. Then waved it in front of the seal, which did nothing to the seal. Naruto then starts tapping the eyecon on his head and stands up to pace back and forth. After a couple minutes he sits back down, thinking, and in the process activates the eyecon, causing it to display the capital letter 'G'. Seeing this, Naruto then points the eyecon at the seal like it was looking at the seal. The seal then unlocked opening the scroll, that Naruto began to read.

'If you are reading this scroll, it means that you have awoken the power of your Soulcon (I'm naming the Ghost eyecon as way to tell them apart from the other eyecons), I know this because you wouldn't be able to even read this if you didn't, let alone open the scroll, know that this item is unique to you. This scroll is has all the information that you will need to get started in learning how to wield your 'Ghost Driver', the belt device the allows for the transformation, to activate the driver you must active the either the 'Soulcon or a resonated 'Eyecon to summon the driver.

The scroll then displayed cartoony images of the 'Ghost driver' and images of 'Soulcons' and 'Eyecons' on how to activate the eyecons and the driver. At this Naruto looks at the beginning of the scroll and notices in very small writing, it said the average age that the powers active is around the age of seven, causing Naruto to face palm at this.

'To resonate with an eyecon, you must gain their respect or complete their challenge. An example of the eyecon challenge is the 'Houdini' eyecons, as it is one is the only known challenge where you have to fight the eyecon's spirit, but there has been one weilder of this Eyecon and he never revealed, how he completed the challenge before old age claimed him.'

'Each Eyecon has a tool in which it grants the ability to use, some tools are obvious, like swords or bows. Then there are the confusing tools, like strange creatures or oversized craft tools like scissors or paint brushes. For all these tools a strong imagination is required.'

'The creation of eyecons, requires the item that the spirit is bonded too and then either a person who is resonating with the spirits soul, if the person is forced to resonate will result in death. The only other way is for the spirit itself to desire it to protect the person it is resonating with. The person resonating does not need to be a member of the Uzumaki clan, as unknown eyecon have been found with those who can't access their power more than once.'

Naruto is surprised as this means that others can summon eyecon, but is thankful that shouldn't have to fight any one with eyecons, at least to his understanding.

'When an eyecon chooses a partner they normally reside inside the mindscape of the wielder and can be summoned when needed either for the transformation or to perform tasks that require and extra set of hands or eyes. The tools that the eyecons grant the user are also stored here. Access the mindscape via meditating or being drawn into it by the eyecon spirits, where talk and learn how to use the tools of their power.'

'That is all you need to know everything else is just experience, and also the more you use the power of the eyecons, the longer you can use them for.'

'Now 'Live Life Burning Bright' and protect what you believe in. Sincerely, Takeru Uzumaki Tenkuji. Kamen Rider Ghost.'

After reading the first section, Naruto leans back, and thinks over what he has read, and then thought about the last section, before noticing the date it was written. To his shock these instructions were written over five hundred years ago. This 'Ghost' was from a time before most of the clans fought in large scale wars, meaning this scroll is a historical artefact centuries old, he then reads the next section.

'Kushina, my daughter.'

'I know what I am doing is seen as a sacrilege, but I needed to say goodbye, and this was the only way. As the leader of our clan others would say that, what I am doing sending you to get help, but the truth is that help would not arrive in time to save our people, from the combined might of three of the hidden villages. So I commit this sin for selfish reasons, in hope that you live, so that will be able to rest peacefully in the next life, knowing that you survived. To ensure this I have sealed ten eyecon into this scroll, may they protect you and help you grow.'

'Your old fool of a father, Uzushiomaru Uzumaki.'

Naruto is surprised at this, he learns what his powers are, and that he is part of one of the oldest clans of the elemental nations, and sad that their fate is undermined. Then he sees the seal, above one more message. Widening his eyes as far as they could go, as he read the first line.

'Naruto, If you are reading this then, not only are you still alive but you have received your birth right, but I have most likely perished and you have taken up my responsibility of holding the Kyuubi no Kitsune. If that is the case, I just wanted to say that I will always be proud of you, no matter what, and hope that you have become a pranking terror for the dumb villagers.'

'Naruto, please don't look at the 'Kyuubi' as a burden, look at it as a way to protect those who are truly precious to you, from those who would seek out it's power to harm people, because the reason the 'Kyuubi' attacked was because a masked man released the 'Kyuubi', to destroy Konoha by putting it under a high powered 'Genjutsu' (Illusion technique). You must not reveal this to any one, as the only time the seal was weak enough for the 'Kyuubi' was during childbirth, and the location was kept secret so that no one could attack us, while the seal was weakened.'

'Also you probably read the message from your Grand Father, there is only four eyecons, currently in the seal, the other six I had entrusted to those that I trusted most, while the last four I knew would protect you, and knowing Musashi, he would do it in "person".'

'In the seal with the four eyecons, is the book I wrote, "The beginners guide to seal", a book that I wrote. A book on chakra control, I figured you would need it with the furball and all. And Finally I left my Soulcon sealed in the scroll, as it is custom among our people to leave a gift for the one we love the most.'

'Now I must be off, I have an oversized furball and village to save, Love Sincerly Kushina Uzumaki.'

All through the letter, Naruto cry his eyes out, finally having some closure after learning that his mother didn't abandon him, and that she loved him. Though the pranking comment freaks him out, could she see the future? After calming down, and looked at the seal above his mother's message and opens the scrolls seal.

Inside of the seal are the, 'Edison' eyecon, the 'Beethoven' eyecon, the 'Grimm' eyecon, and the 'Houdini' eyecon. As well as the book on seals and scroll on Chakra control. Finally the last item in the seal was a black and red Soulcon with the words 'Fighting Spirit'. While taking a look at the Soulcon, the 'Edison', 'Beethoven', 'Grimm' and 'Houdini' activated and flew into Naruto, knocking him out.

Inside Naruto's Mindscape

Naruto awoke in front of the 'Kyuubi's' cage, to see Kurama napping. Naruto then turns around to see five 'Spirit Shadow' with different coloured coats, including Musachi. The first was wearing a green hooded clock with a yellow feather on the hood. The second is wearing a short sleeve silver clock with yellow inlay, light bulb design shoulder pads and lightning rods on top of the hood. The third is wearing a black coat, with white piano keys design on the chest and sleeves. The last is wearing a black and white diamond pattern, with calligraphy pen shoulder pads. Finally on Musashi's shoulder is the 'Houdini' eyecon.

"Umm, hi," was Naruto's intelligent exclamation, causing the eyecon spirits and Kurama sweat dropped at this.

"Hello, Naruto," Musashi replied. "We figured you would want to talk to us."

Naruto thought about this and started to say, "Yeah how come there are six of you in my mind along with Kurama."

"Hmm, I was floating past that food stand talking to Konohamaru, and followed you to the forest. Your speech about being a great leader and the responsibility of it." The green hooded spirit exclaimed, "Ooh. Where are my manners I am sir robin of Nottingham, but more commonly known as Robinhood." He then shakes Naruto's hand.

"As for the rest of us, we promised your mother to help you," This was said by the spirit with piano keys on his coat, in a melodious tone. "I am a simple musician and my name is Beethoven." He said while swinging his arms like he was conducting a musical masterpiece.

The spirit with the black with white diamond pattern stepped forward, "I am the spirit of 'Grimm', and I am technically two brothers who, wrote the stories of Grimm."

"And I am Edison, also known as the 'Father of Invention'." Was the introduction of the silver coated spirit.

"Nice, to meet you," Naruto says before turning towards Musashi looking at the 'Houdini' eyecon, "and you must be Houdini. The scroll mentioned you in the basics of eyecons. I hope to be able to past your challenge so that we can work together in the future."

The 'Houdini' eyecon looked at Naruto, and to the surprise of all the other eyecons, a blue street bike with two horns and covered in chains appeared in the mindscape in front of Naruto. Naruto was confused, until Musashi explained. "Houdini's challenge has started, the reason that no one has past this test is because he didn't find them worth the time to take the test. This is the 'Machine Hoodie', when excepted to take the challenge he allows the challenger to ride it."

Naruto nodded in understand, then bowed to Houdini while thanking him. Then the others step forward, and explain what each of their powers are and the weapon/tool they grant him. For Robinhood Naruto receives a green bow with pull back lever, blades on the arms and a slot for other eyecons to grant their abilities when firing. (The Sonic Arrow from KR Gaim) Edison gives Naruto a pistol with an oversized barrelled silver and yellow, and called it a railgun. Beethoven and Grimm said that once Naruto tried their powers he would understand. Musashi then explains that in time he would develop his own weapon that goes with his Soulcon, but until then he would use the tool he has so far. Then for the next week he would train in his abilities, until the genin (trainee level) placements.

One Week later-the Academy

During the week, Naruto stopped at a Ninja equipment store, to have a coat made to look like the coat in his default form to the 'Ghost' armour that he now wears over his orange jumpsuit, with the hood down. He heads to his normal seat in the in the room from his academy days, unfortunately he looked to his left and saw the class emo, Sasuke Uchiha, with his hair looking like a ducks butt and wearing a blue shirt with red and white fan symbol on the back, and sighed. Then during the process of getting a pink haired banshee and a girl, by the name Ino, a blond wearing a slim fitting purple dress, and bandages around her waist, ran into the room, racing to get to sit next to Sasuke. They look at Naruto and scream at him, "GET AWAY FROM SASUKE, NARUTO-BAKA (idiot)." Then proceed to hit him the front of the class.

Naruto then gets up from the floor, and heads to the seat at the back of the class, next to a girl with pale pupiless lavender eyes and short, almost black, blue hair. Wearing an oversized cream coat, dark blue bants and standard issue shinobi sandels.

"Ah, hi, is it okay if I sit here?" Naruto greeted before he was punched by another person, a boy, this one with tattoos on his face to look like red fangs, brown hair, and wearing woolly leather jacket.

The boy then yells at Naruto, "Stay away from Hinata." He threatened, and then proceeded to sit next to Hinata. Naruto gets off the floor, and sees only one seat free, next to the banshee. Hinata is saddened by this as she was going to say yes, so that she could finally thank him, for saving her from bullies when they were younger. Before the Banshee could yell, Iruka entered the room and used his patented 'Deamon Head Jutsu', to shut the loud genins up.

"Aright everyone, congrats on becoming Genin of Konoha. I had planned a full speech on this, but I would probally bore everyone to sleep. (Your welcome)"

Iruka then proceeds to place the Genin into their teams (Skipping teams one through six, because of fan girls and no main characters), "Team Seven, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto's reaction was a depressing aura, because he knows that he won't be able to train using his bloodline as much, because of Sasuke wanting power and Sakura, would tell Sasuke to get in his good graces after causing Naruto, to go deaf from her screaming. Sasuke only thought that they would get in his way. And Sakura Yelled out, "Iruka sensei why is the BAKA here, he didn't pass the genin test, and why is he on Sasuke's team."

Iruka responded with, "Muzuki turned traitor after sabotaging the test for Naruto, to have him steal an important scroll. Naruto found out, and delayed Muzuki's escape, earning the right to be here. Also the reason he is on team seven, is because we need to keep the teams balanced." Naruto look at Iruka, who looked apologetic to him, causing Naruto to realise what is going on. His bloodline is a secret, so no one knows about it except for three.

"Team Eight, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuga." Kiba cheered, while Hinata gained a depress aura. Shino, who was wearing a grey long sleeved coat with a high collar and round sunglasses, made no visible reaction.

"Team Nine, is still in circulation, so Team Ten, is Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi." The reactions from this group that Shikanaru, wearing netted shirt with an open grey shirt with short sleeves, that has his clan symbol on the shoulder in blue, said, "Troublesome." And went back to sleep. Choji is wearing a white scaf, a yellow shirt with the kanji for food, and a green coat. His reaction was to continue eating. Ino was the most vocal, "No, I'm on the team with the Lazy Bum and Bottomless Pit."

Iruka then says to everyone that they would meet there senseis after lunch. At this Naruto pulls out his mother's book on seals and starts reading. A couple minutes later Shikamaru and Choji, walked up to Naruto and asked him if he wanted to go to Ichirakus, an offer that he accepted with a smile.

Ten minutes later-Ichiraku ramen

The three of them arrived, and took a seat each, and then they all ordered a bowl of Miso Ramen. Then after they got their food, Shikamaru looked to Naruto and asked, "So, why did you get sabotaged with the Genin exam."

Naruto then said, "Let's finish our ramen, then go somewhere private."

Ten minutes later-Academy indoor sparing hall

Naruto, Shikamaru and Choji enter the sparing hall. It is a large room to practice hand to hand combat whenever the outdoor rings are unavailable (raining outside), but with the changes the curriculum, the room has fallen in disrepair. The humorous thing is that this is the place they went to during their time in the academy to get out of the dumb classes, like history of civilian life and heavily edited history.

Naruto faces Shikamaru and Choji, looking them straight in the eyes and says, "You have promise me that you will tell no one what I am about to tell you."

After seeing them nod with Naruto then continued, "The reason Muzuki used me to get the forbidden scroll, is because," Naruto paused to breath in than out, before all three said at the same time, "The 'Kyuubi no Kitsune' was not killed by the Forth Hokage. He sealed it in a new born baby, and that baby was me/you."

It took Naruto a second to realise, that they all said the same time. Then Naruto asked, "How did you find out, and for how long?"

"You didn't come to the Academy on your birthdays, which is the same day as the Kyuubi's attack. Then there was the looks and treatment you receive from all the civilian adults. We brainstormed, and came to the conclusion that people think you are the Kyuubi. So the two of us asked our respective fathers why. They told us and made us promise not to tell you, as it could get you killed, and this was two years ago." Was Shikamaru's honest answer and Choji nodded.

"Damn closet geniuses," Naruto muttered, causing Shikamaru widen his eyes in shock. "Well thank you, for protecting me. People probably would have wanted to kill me just for knowing. But I also discovered I have a bloodline, known as the 'Rider Legacy', It allows me to summon spirits of past warriors or legendary figures."

"Can you show us?" Choji asked intrigued by this new bloodline.

"Sure, but you can't tell anyone about it to others either," Naruto answered, receiving two nods before pulling out his 'Soulcon' and press the button on the side. Revealing the ghost driver.

- Bacchiri Minaa- started playing as he placed the 'soulcon' in the driver and having the ghost coat fly around them. Then Naruto pulled out and pushed in the activation lever. Having the ghost fly at Naruto, as a black with orange lines body suit appear on his body, then attach itself to him, like a coat.

-Let's go! Get ready! Go-Go-Go-Ghost! GO GO GO GO-

Revealing Naruto in his ghost form. "This is the transformation I get from my bloodline." Naruto explains. "And using the eyecon spirits I have been accepted by, allows for me to use their powers and abilities." He finishes as he transforms back to normal. Then suffered a dizzy spell, "but it will take time, for me to adapt to the power properly."

Shikamaru thinks on this, "What abilities do the other eyecons give you?"

Naruto then explains as they head back to the classroom, the basic abilities of the eyecons that he has learned so far. Then a couple minutes after they return to the classroom all but one jounin (master level ninja) arrive to take their genin teams to their designated training areas. Leaving Team Seven waiting for hours, before their Jounin instructor arrived.

"My first impression of you is that you are boring, meet me on the roof now," he said.

The three genin then head to the roof very quickly. When they arrive they see the jounin reading his book. Naruto then realises who this is by he is reading, it was the ANBU with gravity defying silver hair, known as Inu. Without his ANBU mask, he wears a mask over the bottom of his and uses his Konoha head band as an eye patch. He is wearing the standard issues Konoha Jounin uniform, with little variation. Then he says to the genin, "Now let us introduce our selves to each other. So basically, your name likes, dislikes and dreams for the future."

"Why don't you go first sensei, as we don't know who you are," was Sakura's intelligent reply. Sakura ,the Banshee from before, has pink hair and green eyes, wearing a red dress and black biker shorts.

"Okay." Started the jounin. "My name is Kakashi Hatake. I'm not the type of person to talk about my likes or dislikes! My dream for the future is none of your business... I have lots of hobbies."

-All we learnt was his name- they all thought, with Naruto happy to meet the former ANBU, face to face. But Sasuke and Sakura were annoyed but didn't care.

Kakashi then pointed towards Naruto and Naruto said, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen, training and pulling pranks. I dislike arrogant, power hungry ass holes, as well as people who can't tell the difference between a kunei and its case. My dream is to become Hokage to prove that looks can be deceiving." This surprised Kakashi and under his mask he smiled.

Looking towards Sakura she starts introducing, blushing and looking to Sasuke when talking about likes, says that she hates Naruto, making him frown, then her dreams were the same as her likes.

Then looking to Sasuke. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. There are plenty things I hate, but I don't see that it matters, considering there is almost nothing that I do like. It seems pointless to talk about 'dreams', that is just a word... What I do have is determination. I plan to restore my clan and there is someone I have sworn to kill."

"Okay report for the final test at training ground seven tomorrow morning, and we will see if you really have what it takes to be ninja. Also don't eat breakfast before the test; you will just puke it up," Kakashi ordered while handing each of them a sheet of paper with the details.

"Sensei, what do you mean final test, didn't we already pass the final test?" Sakura questioned Sakura only to receive a chuckle from Kakashi.

"That test was to weed out the useless ones from your ranks. But for this test you will be going against me." Was Kakashi's reasons for this test. Getting a nod from both the boys and a reluctant one from Sakura. "I'll see you there tomorrow."

With that Kakashi left. Naruto then stands up and says, "Any ideas on how we should pass this test?" Naruto asked the other two, but they didn't respond as they got up and left, without looking towards Naruto. Then Naruto thought about it, and decided to head to the training ground that his sensei mentioned.

Half hour later-Training Ground Seven

Naruto has found the training ground, and looked around. It had all the necessary areas for training to be a ninja, forested area, a deep pond and a large open area, all enclosed with steel fences. Naruto's thoughts on this were said aloud, "This place is perfect. I can train using my 'Ghost' form to reduce the strain on my body, so I can use it longer, to protect the ones I care about." Naruto finished. Before transforming into ghost then performing the katas he was taught, by Musashi, for as long as he could before he deformed back to himself, collapsed onto his knees after ten minutes of wearing the armour. Then he notice there was a person behind him and turned in a panic, to see Kakashi, and he relaxed at this.

"How long have you been watching me train?" Naruto asks as he stands up.

"Since you got here. You're not worried about me knowing your abilities?" Kakashi respondes.

"Should I be? Inu." Naruto replies. "The book, hair and personality gave you away."

Kakashi chuckles at this, "So why did you come here to train, there are other places."

"I wanted to see the area the test will be in to get the lay of the land. Then I thought that this would be a good place to physically train using my bloodline and I was going to test out each of the eyecons I have access to." Kakashi nods to Naruto answer, as it did make sense.

"Then go right ahead, I will just continue reading my book." KaKashi responded.

Then next day-Training ground seven

We find Sakura and Sasuke waiting for their future sensei. Then a moment later we find Naruto running in screaming sorry for being late and find that Kakashi is not there yet.

Naruto was late because he went to get breakfast at Ichirakus, because he knew of Kakashi's habit of being late for everything besides missions. Though anyone would get that impression after meeting him for the first time, for something other than a mission.

Naruto's training session was fun as he found out what Grimm and Beethoven meant with their abilities. Beethoven created music that can capture and attack an opponent with solidified music, and Grimm had a similar ability, with the pen tips on the sholders, only they could also construct shields using the ink from the pens, by writing on air, a great ability for aspiring seal users.

They waited a half hour until, Kakashi arrived, Saying that he got lost on the road of life, resulting in Sakura and Sasuke to scream, liar, and Naruto to chuckle. Which resulted in Sakura punching him, which he then got up a little dazed and a lump on his cheek.

"Alright you all have till noon, to get one of these two bells, who ever can't get a bell, goes back to the academy," They all nodded to this. Sakura with a happy smile at the prospect of being on a team with Sasuke without Naruto. For Sasuke, he thinking that he has this in the bag. Then finally Naruto, was thinking that they should have come up with a plan as a team.

"And, Go!" Kakashi then finished, and watched two of them jump towards the forested area around the open area they were in. He then said to Naruto, "Most people hide when the time starts, Naruto."

Naruto smiles and says, "If I hide you hunt us and we panic, because you can get us whenever you want. So I figured I would just do this head-on." He then jumps up to drop axe kick Kakashi, who dodged only to avoid pit trap, the size of his foot.

"How did you set traps up? I didn't see you dig holes when you came here," Kakashi questions the smirking blond.

"I used seals with Grimm last night," Naruto answers getting a chuckle from Kakashi.

Then Naruto places his hands in a modified Ram seal, and summon a bunch of Shadow clones, which all started to attack Kakashi. As the clones attacked in pairs or in groups of three, the original attacked him with a pair of demon wind shuirkan (Over size throwing stars in the shape of windmill blades) at him. Kakashi dodged both, and then dodged two clones that were transformed as the shurikans, kicking him in the back. Then the whole dog-piled him, resulting in him disappearing, amongst the clones, that were then dispersed revealing only one Naruto. Then while looking around, two hands pop out of the ground and pull him into the dirt up to his neck and while Naruto is trying to pull himself out, Kakashi digs his way out of the dirt.

"Impressive, you tried to overwhelm me with numbers and made plans ahead of time, using traps. Then you used a simple transformation technique with Shadow Clones to ambush me mid battle. The only problem that I see is that..." was as far as Kakashi got before being hit with a barrage of kunai, which he then turned into a log. Leaving Naruto to think.

Noon

We see Naruto still in the ground, as Sasuke and Sakura, walk up to him.

"You really are an idiot, to be stuck in the ground," taunted Sasuke while Sakura agreed.

"Should you be taunting me on this when you fell for the same trick," Naruto replied shocking Sasuke and Sakura, "This is after all an assassination technique. You're covered in dirt and Sakura screamed twice."

Kakashi then appears then pulls Naruto out of the ground, receiving a thank you from Naruto, before saying, "The test is over. I guess you all go back to the academy." Only to hear two bells infront of him. Then looking towards Naruto, seeing him holding two bells, the same ones that were on his belt. "Okay! How did you do that?"

Naruto response, "When I made those shadow clones. I made two of them to look like bells like I did with the kunai. And used the body flicker technique with them and your bells, the same way I put gun powder in the Hokage's pipe and you did with the log."

"Of course you did." Kakashi started, "who are you giving the other bell to though?"

After thinking on the question and what they were told before he answer, by throwing the bells to Sasuke and Sakura the bells, and saying, "You never said we had to keep them to pass, only to get a hold of them."

Kakashi, look at him for a moment, and started to full on laugh and say, "congratulations on being the first team to every pass my test. Report to the Hokage's office tomorrow at noon for missions followed by training."

An hour later

Naruto arrives at training ground seven, once again to train. Though he saw Kakashi standing in front of a small monument with the names of past shinobi.

"Is this were really are when you are on the 'Road of Life'," Naruto asked.

Kakashi responded with, "Yes, I think of the past, of the friends I have lost, and the lessons they taught me, as well as the promises I made to them. But the most important thing they taught me is that, 'those who violate the rules and fail to follow orders are lower than garbage. However those who do not care for and support their fellow ninja are lower than that!'"

Naruto nodded in understanding, before bowing to the monument in respect for the dead.

"What brings you here?" Kakashi then asks.

"I figured I could get some more training in for my bloodline," Naruto answer.

"Why didn't you use your bloodline earlier? Because if you did I highly doubt I would have been able to beat you," Kakashi queried.

"You saw what forms I currently have access to," started Naruto, "Plus I didn't want the other two to know about it just yet."

Kakashi nodded. "So why are you here now? One of them may come back."

"I figured Sasuke would be too busy looking for you, with Sakura following him." Naruto explained, "Or he went to the council to complain."

Kakashi got a depressed aura around him before saying, "If he does that I will probally get call by the council, just to get yelled at for being late again and then for what they want from me."

"That what happens when you're chronically late," Naruto scolded.

"I'm only late because I go to the Hokage first, when one of the civilian council sends for me." Kakashi says shocking Naruto, "when you're the best at your craft, you tend to get called for everything. In my case, it is for cats in trees to Documents to the important people. And then it is for bad reasons." Causing Naruto to nod as he had read one such document asking for him to be placed in the care of a crazy war hawk.

Then Naruto asks about the cat in the tree bit. Kakashi signed and said, "A cat belonging to a certain pink haired girl at the age of three, had a cat that ran up a tree, she wouldn't stop crying, and it caused several of the clan members of the Inuzuka clan to be hospitalised. All because a stray cat she was petting ran up a tree after she spooked it."

At this Naruto realises that even the dumbest of missions, can mean the difference between life and death. "I knew she is a Banshee." Naruto comments before getting a fist to the side of the head by said Banshee.

Naruto looks up to see Sasuke look down on him, before demanding, "Teach me, the techniques you used to beat Kakashi."

Naruto looks at him, realising there was a third thing the jerk could and most likely would do. "So, you went looking for me to teach you some new techniques." Looking at Sasuke, while getting glared at by said jerk. "All I did was use the Academy basics that we were taught, and a complex clone technique, which I can only use because of abnormally large charkra coils (secondary circular system that Charkra flows through), that you need Jounin level charkra reserves accomplish without dying." This is a shock to both Sasuke and Sakura in that one technique can only be done with such high Chakra levels.

Sasuke then turns to Kakashi so he can demand extra training. Only for Him to be gone. Sasuke and Sakura then both leave to find Kakashi, who had transformed into a rock. After they left Kakashi untransformed, and turned to Naruto, who had a disappointed look on his face. He figured that they would be back thinking that Kakashi tricked them into thinking he left.

"I'll see you tomorrow sensei," Naruto then left to go home.

"You okay?" Kakashi then asked.

Naruto stopped and said, "It looks like it is going to take longer than I to improve than I thought."

Time skip-one month later-forest in Konoha's walls

We find Naruto and his team mates in cover, stalking a runaway cat. The cat was a light shade of brown, with dark brown stripes and has a red bow on its left ear. At this point Naruto leaps at the cat and catches it from behind by its armpits, keeping it claws away from him as it struggled.

"Confirm the ID the objective," Kakashi ordered.

"Red bow on right ear confirmed, we have located and captured the objective," answered Sakura as Naruto calmed the cat down slowly.

Ten Minutes Later-the Hokage's tower mission room

They return with the cat, to meet said owner of the cat. After returning said cat, we see its owner strangling it in a hug. Naruto then proceeds to yell, "Be careful your hurting him." As he pulls the cat out of her grip. "He is a small animal, and need to be handled without crushing him. It is okay to show affection, but it is not okay crush the poor thing. So hold him gently and then buy him the biggest fish as an apology." He finishes before handing the cat over, and gently held it while stroking its back. The cat was about to panic but it calmed down with the gentler touch. The old lady was so happy that she paid extra, for the tip, and went to the market to buy the largest fish they have.

At this, Iruka and the other staff watched as the source of the most hated D-rank missions leave, and would probably never come back. The Hokage was smirking and was very proud of what Naruto just did. His good mood was smashed with the next comment.

"I demand that you give me a real mission and not chores, that the villagers are too lazy to do themselves!" yelled the arrogant Uchiha.

Iruka then went on about how they are still inexperienced, and before the Uchiha could comment about how great his ego is, Naruto spoke up, "What if we team up with one or two of the other genin teams and do a mission outside of the village?"

At this the Hokage was the first to speak up, "That is a very good idea, Naruto." Then calling his ANBU guard, and said, "Get me team eight and team ten."

Ten minutes later

Both teams eight and ten, arrive to see team seven, some happy to see old friends, others annoyed to see rivals, another seeing her crush is still able to follow their dream, one boy growling and a dog waging its tail at seeing one of it favourite humans.

"Everyone it has come to my attention that a joint mission would help in your growth as ninjas of Konoha. So I have decided that teams seven, eight and ten will be working together in escorting a bridge builder to his home land." The Hokage started then turned towards the chunin at the door a continued. "Send in Tazuna the bridge builder."

A few minutes later an elderly gentleman walked into the room. With short grey hair and beard, covering around his mouth. He is wearing a long black sleeveless shirt with a black sash around his waist, a white towel around his neck, spectacles on the bridge of his large nose and a straw hat made to look like the top of a gourd. Finally he smelt heavily of strong alcohol. His first comment was, "Is this what I'm paying for, there a group of brats."

At this, before he could charge at the client, Kiba was grabbed by the collar by Kurenai, A beauty, with long raven coloured hair, with red eyes, wearing a red, black and white, mini skirted Kimono, and arms covered in bandages. Ino also had to be stopped, by her team mates. But to the surprise to almost everyone in the room, Naruto stepped forward bowed towards Tazuna and said, "Perhaps before making assumptions about other people, you should get to know them first. So allow me to introduce myself, I am Naruto Uzumaki."

Tazuna looked at Naruto suspiciously, "Are you that kind of Uzumaki?" receiving a nod, in Tazuna's head he had one thought. –If he is telling the truth, then I will have nothing to fear- then said, "Then get me home safely, and I will know you are telling the truth."

"All of you, report to the main gates in one hour," Kakashi ordered.

"Are you going to be late sensei?" Naruto asked knowingly, causing everyone who knows Kakashi to chuckle.

The Hokage responded with, "He better or I will bane him from reading his favourite books." Causing the same people chuckled, laugh out loud.

During the next hour

Naruto was at his apartment, piling all the spar equipment, clothes and food he thought he needed into a sealing scroll that he made.

Shikamaru and Choji were doing the same thing at their respective clan's compounds. When he was finished he walked.

Ino, packed a bag with the clothes she would need and some ninja tools.

Shino only packed the essentials.

Sasuke came back to his apartment and grabbed his pack, placing the tools he wanted to take but may never need or be able to use.

Sakura only pack the bare minimum of ninja tools, one set kunai, no shurikan, but did pack some rope, but with many skimpy clothing for her Sasuke.

Kiba pack food for himself and his dog partner Akamaru, ninja ration pills and some tools and equipment.

For Hinata, it was a bit more difficult. She had to report to her father, and explain that she will be going on an escort mission with her team as well as teams seven and ten. Then after explaining to her father, he got up and went to the hidden safe in the room, and pull out a white and red mechanical eye looking device. Then her father spoke up, "Hinata, before your mother died she wanted to give you, a gift that she received before you were born, If the council knew that I still had this they would demand I give it to them. But your mother was always the one who knew best. So I give you this eyecon Hinata and I hope that its spirit helps you grow."

Hinata, bowed to her father and thanked him before heading to her room and packing for the mission.

The main Gates

We find Hinata, Shikamaru, Choji and Naruto were waiting for the rest of their respective teams. Then Shikamaru turns towards Naruto and asks, "How is your training going."

Naruto answers with, "Slow. At the moment I can use my bloodline for twenty minutes, but I lose a minute for every change. Grimm and Beethoven are good for restraining opponents."

"Um, what is 'Beethoven' and 'Grimm'?" Hinata asked curious about what they are talking about.

Naruto, looked sheepish and said, "I awoke my bloodline a little over a month ago. Please don't tell anyone." Surprising Hinata, who then smiled before congratulating him on his achievement.

Then the rest of their teammates arrived and chatted till two of the jounin arrived. The jounin of team ten is a tall man smoking a cigarette with ruffled black hair and wearing the standard jounin uniform with a white sash with the kanji for fire, in a black circle and his name is Asume. With him was Kurenai.

"Everyone ready to go," Asume asked everyone and received nods from all the genin.

Then to the surprise the jounin and Sasuke and Sakura, Kakashi arrived on time, with the client in tow.

"You're early!" Sasuke and Sakura exclaimed.

"It would look bad if he was late in meeting clients," Naruto explained.

"Thank you Naruto. Now everyone lets head out," Kakashi then reported to the keepers of that gate. Before they headed off towards the Land of Wave for the start of their adventure.

An adventure that will span to other universes.

(The inspiration for this story came from other fanfiction writers such as BNGwarrior, Kamen Rider Decade Complete, Gaim no Kaze and Rubius (You should read their work). After reading some of their stories I wanted to write this story. Also watching Kamen Rider Ghost had a big influence.

So until next time, I hope you enjoyed the story, (Sorry if it is long winded) and enjoy any future stories or chapters.)
