Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

It's been several months since Naruto, Sakura and Ino have secretly been training under Yūgao, they learned several things of course Sakura knows a lot already and Ino's not far off but Naruto was the one who learned so much, all the years of neglect from his teachers really affected Naruto's education.

It pained the three women of just how much Naruto was sabotaged, what they were happy about was the fact that Naruto isn't as dumb as everyone thinks he learns things quickly if it's explained properly, he learns things through actions not words.

Other then theory work they worked on politics, stealth and infiltration, once a week Yūgao would bring her soon to be team to the Anbu stealth house, in the stealth house the Anbu train in infiltration, Yūgao would have Naruto, Sakura, and Ino to infiltrate the house and locate there target that being Yūgao herself.

Of course there were difficulties such as clones of Yūgao henged as Anbu there was also a time limit, the clones were to act normal if they spotted either of Yūgao's soon to be Genin, there to restrain them. There not to physically hurt them just restrain them.

This was never easy for the kids the first time they lasted less then a minute before they well all apprehended. Over the months they got better but they still couldn't rescue Yūgao, although they did get into her room before they were apprehended.

Other then that they worked on stealth yet again in the Anbu Stealth house, this time they were to infiltrate the main room where Yūgao was held but this time they had documents to retrieve and get out without being spotted.

Naruto was by far the best at this because of his skills at pranking he was fast and skilled he could blend in really well, there was more of Yūgao's clones walking around, unlike the infiltration mission the moment they were spotted the test was over.

Naruto was the only one to do this test everytime without being spotted, Sakura and Ino did well but there not as skilled as Naruto so it took time for them to get better.

Other then these tests Yūgao taught them Taijutsu, now Sakura and Naruto already knows the Taijutsu that both Jiraiya and Tsunade, taught them, of course Yūgao, agreed they could still learn them again but it was nice to learn a backup style.

Ino was the only one who had to learn a new style one that the Anbu used themselves, Naruto, Sakura and Ino all enjoyed learning something new, they were all getting stronger, not just physically but mentally, Sakura and Ino's stamina had improved greatly.

Yūgao had started having them all do laps around Training Ground 44 there all much stronger their eating well, so they're all ready to graduate, but they still wanted to remain in the academy until they normally graduated.

One thing that Naruto with the others decided to do was ask Hiruzen about the reason he failed the Genin exam being he couldn't complete the normal Bunshin so he asked how Rock Lee was able to graduate.

Hiruzen was curious about that and after knowing about Mizuki it seems that it was done deliberately to stop Naruto from graduating, It seems that Hiruzen will have to make it clear that any clone jutsu is fine.

Naruto and the others were happy about that and could continue knowing that Naruto's reason for failing was no longer a problem. Since Naruto and Ino told what happened Mizuki's been under surveillance not that the kids knew that.

In the academy things changed, some of there classmates were surprised seeing the difference in Sakura and Ino, neither fawned over Sasuke, this confused everyone minus Naruto, As for Sasuke he didn't care either way, he was just glad that two of the most annoying fangirls are leaving him alone.

When Yūgao wasn't teaching her soon to be students because she was on missions, Sakura and Ino took over helping Naruto, Ino decided to get some glasses for laughs and pretend to be an actual teacher of course Naruto and Sakura just thought it was so funny.

Sometimes Ino wasn't always with them that was either because she was with her parents or to give Sakura some alone time with her boyfriend.

When that happened Naruto and Sakura would go for walks, or just spend time at Naruto's apartment, sitting on the couch with Sakura in Naruto's arms and watched the TV or some movies that Sakura brought from her house.

She sometimes had to buy movies for Naruto because the villagers still treated him like shit, this angers her so much how did she not notice what Naruto had to go through was she and all her friends so oblivious to this.

This was not going to happen this time around, this time she will be there for him, and so will Yūgao, and Ino.

Naruto and Sakura are sitting on the couch with Naruto's arms wrapped around Sakura's waist, watching a movie. Sakura smiles "I'm so glad I got a chance to do this, I'm sorry I wasted so much of my life on someone who never cared about me, when you was always there for me."

Naruto smiles "It's OK Sakura-chan, that was in our future, you loved someone else, we have a new chance lets not waste it on regrets."

Sakura turns around so she's facing Naruto and sits in his lap, "I don't deserve someone as awesome as you."

Naruto smiles and rubs his thumb on her cheek "Sakura-chan, it doesn't matter what you did before, I love you and always have, I know Hinata confessed to me, but I could never return her feelings, now I know her feelings I'll try and get her to move on earlier, you are the only girl I ever wanted to be with."

He smiles "Although we are in a 11, our minds are older, so I can tell you I love you, and always will."

Sakura smiles "I love you also Naruto-kun, I promise you this, I'll be by your side forever."

Naruto smiles then sighs "Sakura, I have two things to tell you."

Sakura looks confused "What's wrong Naruto-kun."

He bites his lip "Do you remember years ago when Sasuke told you that you had a charming forehead and just wanted to kiss it."

Sakura giggles "I know it was you, I realised it was you years later I know it made me think I loved Sasuke more than ever but something about that situation always confused me."

She then gives Naruto a kiss on the lips "You wanted to know what I really thought of you and if you would have asked me as yourself I would have hit you, it's OK I hate that about my younger self, so what's the other thing."

Naruto looks at her shocked "You figured it out."

Sakura giggles "Yes, a part of me wanted to be angry I'm OK with it."

Naruto smiles "Well, you know my dream is to be Hokage, well that's only one of the dreams, I never told anyone this, because of your feelings for Sasuke."

She smiles "Well that's not happening this time so what's the other dream."

Naruto's face goes red "Well, it was to marry you and have a family with you."

It's Sakura's turn to blush then giggles "Saying that at 11-Years-Old is so funny, but when the time comes Naruto-kun, I will say yes, I love you so much, and would love to have a family with you, but lets wait for all this until Madara and the Akatsuki are dealt with and that includes Sasuke if he goes down the same path as last time."

Naruto grins then hugs her and she hugs him back and she once again turns around and sits between Naruto's legs and they continue watching the movie although they have missed a big chunk of it while they talked.

Hours later and Naruto and Sakura have fallen asleep with Sakura lying on top of him, this is the scene that Yūgao and Ino saw when they appeared in the apartment she smiles and Ino does also as she met Yūgao and decided to surprise Naruto and Sakura.

Yūgao just smiles and heads to the kitchen to start making dinner for them all as they have stuff to talk about.

It's the smell of food that wakes up Naruto and Sakura, when Naruto sits up Sakura's still sat in his lap then they hear a giggle and looks to see Ino sitting on the single chair they bought for Naruto when more people were over, then they hear noises in the kitchen and know it's Yūgao.

Ino grins "Well you two seem to be comfortable had a nice sleep."

Sakura blushes as does Naruto, it's not long before Yūgao comes into the front room and passes the three of them a plate of curry that she made.

Sakura quickly climbs off Naruto's lap and sits beside him and take her plate as they all start eating with Yūgao bringing a chair from the kitchen to sit down on.

After they've all eaten and Yūgao's taken the plates into the kitchen she returns, she looks at the three of her future students, they've come along nicely since everything happened, she never thought of having a team but now even though technically there not her team yet she's proud of them and couldn't imagine not having a team.

She sits down and coughs to get there attention "OK you three we are going to play a little game well more of an information gathering."

Ino looks confused "Well this is new Yūgao-sensei."

Yūgao smiles "Yes it is but this will be a common thing from now on, OK, so for this I want to see how observant you are in the academy, so I'll ask you about a classmate and you tell me his strengths and weaknesses if you know them."

Sakura looks confused "Isn't that kind of rude though."

Yūgao smiles "In a way Sakura yes it is, but it's also Information gathering, there could be a time on a mission where you will have to infiltrate a Town or a Village maybe even a Castle, on missions such as these information gathering is key."

"For instance, who are the leaders, how many ways out of the Village, Town or Castle are there, is there unrest in the camp, gathering the names of everyone of importance, all this is things you may have to do, of course there is other missions that Kunoichi's but also Ninjas may have to do whether they like it or not."

Sakura being the smartest sighs "You mean seduction right, I'm lucky I never went on a mission like that."

Yūgao nods "Going by what you said about being Lady Tsunade's apprentice I highly doubt you ever would have, you'd be to memorable, plus your pink hair is unique, that's not to say it was out of the question but in my opinion I doubt you would have done it."

She then turns to Naruto, "I could say the same about Naruto, the Blond hair the Whiskers, not to mention the immense Chakra it wouldn't work for you, out of the three of you Ino would have been the obvious choice because Her chakra is lower, and she's not connected to the Hokage, and Blond hair isn't a Unique colour."

Ino shivers, "I'm just glad I was never given that mission, I don't know if I could have done it."

Yūgao nods "Understandable but you may have not had a choice in the matter, I highly doubt Lady Tsunade or Kakashi would have done it same for the Sandaime, Danzō is another matter entirely, I think the only one of the three of you who would have been exempt would have been Naruto."

Naruto and Sakura both growl at hearing Danzō's name. Ino just shivers, Yūgao sees there reactions and she couldn't deny she'd feel the same way

Yūgao sighs "Out of everyone Danzō Shimura was and still is an evil bastard, he cares nothing for anyone's feelings his ROOT drones are the perfect example of that, even if you were married, he'd send you on that type of mission, and he wouldn't give a damn, if it ruins a marriage, Yes, that man is loyal to Konoha in his own twisted way, but he's not to be trusted, and I imagine that if anyone would have stepped out of line then he'd have them killed."

Sakura who knows him from being Tsunade's apprentice and saw how he acted around Tsunade knows she hates him, the man was vile, disrespectful, and was power hungry.

For Naruto he knows that Danzō saw him as nothing but a tool, a weapon, to use in his sick twisted world.

Ino looks at Yūgao "I can imagine that you've seen him being an ANBU, I didn't see him that often in the future unlike Sakura who was Lady Tsunade's apprentice."

Yūgao nods "That is true Ino, he's a cruel, disrespectful man, a real Tyrant, I have no idea what he was planning in your future before Sasuke killed him."

Naruto scoffs "It's the only thing I'm thankful that Sasuke ever did and I hate even saying that after what the bastard did after that."

Sakura looks at her boyfriend/lover and places a hand on his shoulder "Shall we start this Information Gathering exercise then."

Yūgao knows that the mood has been ruined but still wants to do this exercise "Very well, lets see start with the Inuzuka heir Kiba, Ino you first."

Ino bites her lip "Well, in my opinion he's all bark and no bite."

Sakura continues, "He's always eating Garlic so he farts all the time it's rather revolting."

Naruto, Ino and Yūgao all look at Sakura and she blushes "Well it's true."

Ino chuckles "I always thought It was Chōji."

Yūgao chuckles "Not what I had in mind Sakura but OK." She turns to Naruto "Naruto."

Naruto grins "Well, he thinks he's an Alpha male, probably dreams of every women being with him in some sick Harem, but that isn't what you want to hear, so let me think."

After a minute he grins "Kiba, is a tracker, with his keen sense of Smell he's ideal for tracking as is the Aburame and Hyūga, He's also loud, cocky, like Ino-chan, said he's all Bark and No Bite, he thinks he's better than he actually is, not that later on he doesn't become a good Ninja he's just not an Alpha that he claims."

"His Weaknesses are well his arrogance, and recklessness, he like all Inuzuka rely on there Ninken take that away and there easy to beat, plus there's always taking away his greatest attribute his Sense of Smell."

Sakura, Ino and Yūgao are shocked with this thought out answer before Naruto can continue Sakura says the rest.

"Oh I know what you mean, even if it wasn't planned you farted in his face during the Chūnin exams, it didn't beat him but it distracted him enough for you to beat him plus you used that Henge to pose as Akamaru then when he wasn't looking turned back to yourself, it was funny."

Ino giggles "Oh yea, I remember that you shouted down to Naruto Whatever works Naruto."

Naruto blushes because it was quite embarrassing "I was also fighting with a handicap because of what Orochimaru did to me by sealing up my Chakra."

Yūgao nods "Well I didn't expect that but that was also what I wanted, you told me his strengths and weaknesses and how to beat him even if your method was unorthodox, can't have everyone farting in his face now can we."

They all laugh at that then Yūgao continues. "OK Shikamaru Nara, Sakura."

Sakura thinks "Well Shikamaru is smart probably the smartest person I know."

Ino then continues "But he's lazy as hell."

Naruto then replies "That maybe so but it's best not to show all your skills, like Kakashi-sensei taught me and Sakura look underneath the underneath, Shikamaru maybe lazy but he's got the mind of a Genius, he doesn't want to show off his skills, honestly he'd rather not be a ninja at all and just watch clouds, but he's a great Ninja, he can think of plans out of nowhere, he's very strategical I think is the word, he's always looking for ways to win, to beat him you have to out think him which isn't easy other than that stay away from his Shadows, and wait until he runs out of Chakra."

Again the three women in the room look at Naruto in shock. Yūgao smiles "Yet again Naruto seems to think this through more, The Nara's are generally smart as hell, but lazy also, but you can never underestimate them, Shikamaru's father is the Jōnin Commander for a reason."

After that Sakura and Ino started to think more on there answers, they went through there classmates even Sasuke although none of them really wanted to talk about him, after they did they talked about Tenten, Rock Lee and Neji.

After they were done Yūgao smiles "Well done you three, some were easier to answer than others, we will do this again not on the same subject mind you, now with Naruto not having the problem with his clones stopping him from Graduating he should Graduate as normal."

"With the help from the both of you Naruto has also learned much more than he did the previous time at the Academy and is no longer the Dead Last and I hate that title it's downright insulting, it seems Kiba has taken that title from you so at least it's not you this time Naruto."

Naruto chuckles "Yea, I'm glad about that but it's not much different after talking with Iruka-sensei once he told me that the bottom four were me, Kiba, Shikamaru and Chōji even if Shikamaru could have easily been close to the top he was just to lazy."

Ino chuckles "We should call Kiba the Dog-Last."

Naruto, Sakura and Yūgao look at her and Sakura shakes her head "That was not even funny."

She then turns to Yūgao "So what about Mizuki, we know he hates Naruto, and we know he's trying to screw Naruto over with the Genjutsu's luckily either me, Naruto or Ino dispel the Genjutsu I also know it pisses him off so what is going to happen to him."

Yūgao smiles "You don't have to worry about Mizuki at all, he's been under surveillance ever since you told us about you being from the future, if he waits until Graduation to steal the Scroll of Seals then we will apprehend him, before he gets anywhere, we know he manipulated Naruto last time, but this time we're ready for him regardless of what he will try he could even try to impersonate you to get you into trouble."

Naruto clenches his fist. "Although I hate him for what he did, he did tell me why I was hated, even when nobody else told me because of the law, I had a right to know, but it doesn't matter now, what happened in the future doesn't matter now, we are here to change things and that's what we will do."

Sakura grins "Of course, Naruto-kun, I'm with you all the way, I want to take his ass out for causing Naruto-kun, so much pain, even if he told Naruto why he was hated, he manipulated Naruto, and that is something I will not allow to happen so I want to kick his ass."

Naruto just grins "What Sakura-chan said."

Ino raises her fist "Yea, Team NaruSakuIno is going to kick is ass."

Yūgao starts to laugh "You three make me laugh so much but if that is what you want you three can take him out, but be careful, don't let your anger cloud your judgement."

Sakura nods "We won't Yūgao-sensei, we will show him not to mess with us, and I'll make him pay for all he's done to Naruto since we came back in time, the Genjutsu's, using weighted Kunai, of course, we all use them now so it has no effect, but still, it pisses me off."

Ino nods "I agree, it's downright cruel, I admit that neither me or Sakura noticed what Naruto had to go through last time, speaking for myself, I just thought Naruto had no talent." She turns to Naruto "No offence."

Naruto smiles "None taken Ino-chan."

Ino smiles "Now we know differently and unlike last time me, Sakura and you, Yūgao-sensei are helping Naruto, he's smarter then he was last time, more skilled well all three of us are, we know everything form our future's and learned something's we never did thanks to you Yūgao-sensei, we'd kick our future selves asses right now, well our 11 year old selves."

Yūgao smirks "This is all true Ino, you three are High Genin to low Chūnin already, but you wanted to stay in the Academy, One more year and we can officially be a team, once we do I can start teaching you Kenjutsu, if you want to learn it."

All three of them nods and she grins 'Three new Kenjutsu users I can't wait.' She then looks at the clock "Well it's getting late, so I think you girls should head off home, I will tell you now, I am going on a mission and will be gone for about two weeks, in that time I want you to continue your training, continue to improve your Chakura control, assist each other with Taijutsu, and also assist Naruto with his knowledge he's already come up leaps and bounds but you should never stop learning."

Naruto watches Sakura, Ino and Yūgao leave before closing the door, Yūgao always places Genjutsu's over the apartment and nobody even knows there even there and that's good because Naruto doesn't want Sakura and Ino to be treated badly by being around him.

Naruto sits down on the couch, and just thinks, it's been quite an interesting time since they returned to the past, who would have thought that was even possible, also having friends in Sakura and Ino is quite amusing.

If anyone would have said that who didn't know there from the future they would have laughed at him, and Sakura and Ino would have most likely hit him for thinking it if they wasn't from the future themselves.

The main thing though is Sakura, finally getting to be with the girl of his dreams is a dream come true, seeing Sakura die by Sasuke's hands broke him, all the treatment he endured throughout his childhood was bad but he never broke but losing Sakura did.

The girl he loved so much did break, him, the fact he even considered killing himself is just as insane to think about, he's glad that he now has a chance with her.

The times they spend just cuddling on the couch is great, even if both have admitted to each other that they want to go further, they always stop knowing there not ready, even if there mind is older than there actual bodies.

The next thing is Ino, yes they were friends before they came back to the past but they wasn't nearly as close as he was to Sakura-chan, but since they've returned they've talked quite a bit and really gotten to know each other better.

The last major change is Yūgao-sensei, yes he knows her but after the academy they barely interacted, but in a way there was no reason to, he was a Genin and he could look after himself even if he wasn't as strong as he actually thought he was.

Naruto just chuckles as he remembered just how pathetic his younger self was, but it wasn't just him, neither Sakura-chan, or Ino-chan were really that talented until Sasuke betrayed the village, in a way him leaving made the three of them better people, better ninjas.

One thing is for certain though, and that is Sasuke, he isn't going to be dictating how they live there lives this time, last time both he and Sakura wanted Sasuke back, and there whole reason for getting stronger was to bring him back.

Look where that got them, everyone they cared about killed by that corrupted bastard, even Sakura died by his hands.

Naruto clenches his fist "This time Sasuke if you betray the leaf I'm taking you down, I'll do whatever it takes to bring you down, I'm not the Naruto you know or you think you know, neither is Sakura-chan, or Ino-chan."

Naruto then thinks of someone else and sighs "Hinata, how am I going to get you to move on, I've seen the way you look at me, but I can't give you what you want, I'll have to ask Yūgao-sensei or Sakura-chan on what to say."

He stands up from the couch and stretches before heading to his bathroom to shower before heading to bed, a new day is coming, more time to get stronger, for when they finally become Genin.

After coming out of the shower Naruto looks at himself in the mirror, when he sees it's all misted up he thinks on something "If we do the mission to Wave maybe we can try and save Haku and No brows, they would be a great help in the war, if it still happens, I can only imagine how strong Haku would have become by the time the war happen, he was already strong."

He grins "Then there's Pervy Sage, letting him know about the future would save his life and make Baa-chan not so sad, I know Pervy Sage loved her I wonder if she loved him, I was really a bastard to her when I found out he died, having him in the war would help us also not to mention Asuma-sensei."

He then leaves the room before climbing into his bed before one other thought comes to him "I wonder if we save Hayate-san, then maybe Baa-chan can find some cure for whatever he has if anyone can it's Baa-chan well Sakura-chan also."

He chuckles "I wonder if we should look for her earlier maybe bring her back to the village before the invasion, if that still happens like what Ino said a Paradox, so far nothing seems to have changed but who knows I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."

He grins before closing his eyes and falling to sleep dreaming of spending more time with Sakura-chan, and who knows in the future they could have kids together that's a nice thought, of course, they'd have to get married also, he remembers Pervy Sage saying that having Kid when not being Married is not always looked upon as accepted.
