Naruto no Se-Ta

Summary: Title can be translated as Naruto the Jumper. When Naruto was five, he was attacked by the villagers of Konoha. Wishing to escape from it, Naruto suddenly appeared back in his house. Read, as Naruto learns to control this new power. But will it be his power? Or his downfall.

Well...people actually love this story! I can tell by the fact that there's more than twice the amount of alerts for this story, than there is for the reviews...I know I said I don't care about reviews, as long as you review at least once, and that's just ridiculous.

But despite that, I'll still update.

Be warned, I'm only fourteen, so I get lazy a lot. So I can't update as much as most people do. I planned to update during the summer a lot, but really, that just gave me more time to slack off...sorry for that. And I usually spend my time reading other Naruto stories, as well as playing my new favorite tactical role playing game: Disgaea! (PSP version)

Anyhow, I noticed that this story was getting a bit too dramatic for my taste, remember, those dramatic moments, such as the last part in the last chapter will only happen in rare occasions, because I want this story to be a action packed, light-hearted story. So I might change the drama part of the genre, to humor. Or something. It'll still contain dramatic moments, but just not so much that it needs "Drama" to be on the genre.

Oh, as for those polls, I'm just doing whatever the hell I want. Mostly, because I made my choice a long time ago, and because barely anyone was voting. But for the title poll, I'm still unsure about that, so that is still alive.

The new title?: Naruto, Sono Janpaa. Which translates as Naruto, The Jumper. The only thing I don't like about it, is the fact that it has Janpaa in the name, which is how a Japanese person would read it I guess. Like...Closer, would be read as Kuroosa by a Japanese person. But again, it's your guy's choice. - 0

The old title: Naruto no Se-Ta. And like I said, the only thing I don't like about it, is the fact that it could be translated as Naruto the Jumper...I think, but literally translates to Naruto of the Jumper. - 0

As of now, no one has voted on those...come on people! If no one votes...I'll write a really long next chapter! Oh wait...forget that last part...He he...

Oh, one more thing, I noticed that I almost never put down a disclaimer, but...do I really need to? It's not like the FFPDJP (Fanfiction Police Department of Justice and Pie) is going to come in my room, and demand that I take it down right?...Right...

Yeah it's kind of obvious, that a fourteen year old like me does not own Naruto, or Jumper. So I'm not going to put down a disclaimer...Oh crap, wasn't that a disclaimer? Damn it...

And one more last note, a reviewer named "Pax-draconix" mentioned that the Land of Water, and the Wave country are two different places. To be honest, I forgot...And that could have caused some major problems, as Naruto, and Haku are both in the Land of Water, which is a ninja village, and when Haku shows up in the original storyline, it's in the Wave country. Not to mention, I described the Land of Water as the Wave country, (Poor...etc) Oh well, I'd think of a way to fix it all, but it's too confusing for me, cause I have a one track mind (Whatever the hell that means). So, right now, the Land of Water is a poor place...Yeah...oh well, this chapter is probably going to be the last chapter of where the story even takes place, so no need to worry.

Anyway, for the moment you've been waiting for, Chapter three, of Naruto no Se-ta!

Naruto couldn't believe his eyes. Haku had "Jumped" away! Naruto fell to his knees in shock, eyes wide.

"Haku-chan's...a "Jumper"? Naruto asked himself.

"That...means I have..." He paused, and looked up from the ground.

"I have to kill Haku-chan someday... " He inevitably said.

Throughout his stay in the Land of Water. The last person he'd thought to be a "Jumper", was Haku...

Because of the events that happened, Naruto had pretty much tried to avoid Haku as much as he could. key word, tried. Because even for a ninja trainee, it would be hard for anyone to avoid someone you were living with. As such, Naruto had to make up ridiculous excuses to get away from her as much as possible, until they slept together. His job really helped him with that.

Unfortunately, Naruto began to get paranoia. (1) And he didn't know why, but he's decided.

"I'm going to kill Haku-chan..."

Walking back from his job, he picked up a rusty, blunt pipe from a alleyway, walked slowly back to his campsite. Haku was sleeping, which was in Naruto's favor this time, he slowly walked over to her, careful not to wake her, and when he was in striking distance, held the pipe shakily over his head with both arms. And before he knew it, swung down on Haku's head with all the strength his little body could do.

He swung again, and again, he didn't know why, but he couldn't stop. With each blow, he heard a bone crack, and blood splattered out. But he kept on swinging, and swinging, over, and over.

By now, the pipe had been covered in blood, and there were a few drops of blood on Naruto's face, and the place where Haku lied was absolutely filled with blood. Naruto panted heavily, finally stopping.

"N-Naruto...kun..." He heard. He looked at where the sound had come from, to see Haku still alive, with her eyes slightly open.

"W-why...?" She asked, before her eyes closed, and Naruto couldn't see her chest move anymore.

She was dead.

He dropped the pipe in horror, his eyes widened, and he let out a horrifying scream.

Naruto screamed as he woke up, still screaming, until he noticed his surroundings. Everything was fine, no blood, or anything, he looked to his side to see Haku still alive. She looked so cute, he thought. But more importantly, it was all a dream. A nightmare. (2)

He couldn't beleive he had actually even thought of killing Haku, before he knew she was a "Jumper", she had been so kind to her, and if she really wanted to kill Naruto, she wouldn't have saved him in the beginning, and she had plenty of chances when she did save him, and afterwards. (3)

He continued staring at her for a few moments longer, until she mumbled a few words.

"Naruto...kun..." Naruto blushed. Was she dreaming about him? He stayed quiet, and listened even more.

"Please...don't...leave me..." Naruto's eyes widened a bit. But then returned to his normal size. He smiled softly. Who cares if Haku was a "Jumper"? She obviously cared for him, and he wasn't going to abandon her like that. He knew she was going to wake up soon, so he made some instant ramen for her before he got up, looking ready to go.

"Well, time to get going to Reiji-jiji's. Gotta work hard." He "Jumped" to a location around Reiji's delivery store.

The same routine happened for the next few days. Naruto would wake up to Haku, make her breakfast ramen, go deliver whatever Reiji needed to deliver. And while he didn't know it, each package became easier, and easier. In truth, Naruto's muscles were growing, and each package would seem lighter, and lighter. (4)

During that time, he had noted that he needed a portable food. His pocky was the right choice. Because the portable ramen he had tried didn't exactly work out...

Flashback

Naruto jogged lightly to his destination carrying a brown package. Around his neck was a plastic bag full of ramen. This included the hot soup, and noodles.

He attempted to eat some of the ramen, by biting a hole in it. The result: Hot soup splattered everywhere on Naruto, as well as the package.

In the end, Naruto couldn't deliver the package because it was "damaged". Thus, getting a pay-cut from Reiji.

Flashback End

(5)

Surprisingly, Naruto never saw Haku "Jump" even once. He was beginning to think it was all part of his imagination, but he knew what he saw, and dismissed the fact.

It was eventually time for his month long trip to end. There was a problem. Where is Haku going to stay now? With him? Or her?

So Naruto decided to be blunt, and forward.

"Hey Haku-chan." He called. She looked at him with a confused gaze.

"How would you feel if I left you...?" He didn't finish, because he saw the look on Haku's face.

She was crying.

"Y-your not leaving me are you?" It was amazing she didn't stutter as much as she could.

"Well..." He couldn't continue. She jumped towards him, and knocked him down, trapping him in a tight hug as well.

"Please don't leave me!" She yelled. His memories reverted back to when he first heard those words. (6)

"I don't want to be alone anymore!" She yelled again. His face softened, and he wrapped his arms around Haku.

"Don't worry." He looked down with determination in his eyes. Something you'd never see in a five-year old.

"I will never leave you. I promise." He said as he wiped a tear from her cheek. She looked at him, some tears still in her eyes. She then buried her face in his stomach. (7)

"Thank you. Naruto-kun."

Ah crap. I guess I have no choice but to bring her along.

"But um...I really do need to get back to my home. Konoha. Do you think...you want to come with me?"

"Come with you...to your home?" He nodded with a 'Un!'. She stayed silent for a while.

"I'd love to." She replied. His face brightened up.

"Really? That's great!" Although it took a moment to register the position they were in, in his mind. Realizing that, he jumped right up, and blushed. Silence ensued, until Haku asked something.

"Naruto-kun, so about Konoha, how are we going to get there?"

Then it hit him like a sack of potatoes. (8) He swore the question repeated in his head several times.

"I...don't know..." He finally responded. Haku fell anime style.

"You don't know?!" He shook his head with a goofy grin.

"B-baka..." She called him. He whined.

"Haku-chan!"

"It's true! You got here didn't you?" He nodded.

"How can you forget the way you came here?"

"Well...There were some interesting things that happened." He said recalling the events that had happened to him on his trip. Although it was true, he only got here by "Jumping" after all. She tapped him playfully on the head.

"Silly. Don't worry. I'm not mad." She responded with closed eyes.

He mumbled something along the lines of "Who said I was worried?".

"Ah! I know. Let's walk around town, and see if anyone knows anything about getting back to Konoha!" He said, putting his fist in his hand.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt. Let's go." The two packed up their things, and off they went.

Walking through town, Naruto hadn't noticed it, but he had apparently got to remember, if not recognize most of the people in the town.

"Probably from delivering..." He said to himself.

He, and Haku had asked most of the people Naruto either remembered, or Naruto deemed as good people. But to no avail...until Naruto met a rather familiar person.

"Ayame-chan?!" He yelled, pointing his finger at a girl in front of them. She was about their age, cute with long brown hair that reached her lower back. Said girl turned around to look at whoever said her name. Her eyes widened when she saw the blond.

"Naruto-kun?!" The blond grinned widely before running to her, and giving her a hug. Ayame blushed at the sudden physical contact.

"Ayame-chan, what are you doing here?" He asked. Ayame, and Teuchi, the owner, and daughter of Ichiraku ramen didn't exactly own their ramen shop in the Land of Waters.

"That's my line, and to answer your question, my, and daddy are here to buy some rare ingredients for our ramen to make it taste even better." Ayame answered. His mouth had some drool coming out the side of his mouth. Not that he could help it, Naruto always thought Ichiraku's ramen was the best, but to make it even better? Is that even possible?!

"Ooh, can I try some once it's done?" He asked, still drooling.

"I dunno...you'll have to ask daddy." She answered, before putting her hand to her mouth, and yelling behind her.

"Daddy!" She called. A few seconds later, a man that looked like he was in his 40's came out. He wore a white apron, and a white chef hat. He seemed to be getting old. Signs of aging could be seen on his body. His wrinkles on his face, and forehead, and the slightly gray hair on his head.

"Hey, wassup (9)Ojii-san?" Naruto had always called Teuchi by that name, and like Sarutobi, he didn't mind. The man looked in front of him with squinted eyes to see a waving young blond, his daughter, and a girl he had never seen before standing in front of him.

"Naruto?" He asked. The said blond nodded before grinning. Teuchi, realizing who it was finally, walked up to him before putting both his hands on the blonds' shoulders, and shaking him back, and forth repeatedly.

"Where have you been Naruto? Business has been dead since you left!" Naruto, Haku, and Ayame sweat-dropped at the comment.

"Hey hey! Is that all you can see to me; I've been gone for almost a month you know, I wanted something better than something like that." He said pouting, all of them laughed at the comment. One the laughter died down, he asked Naruto...

"Hey Naruto, why are you here?"

"Eh? Oh well I'm just...exploring." He paused for a second to remember why he had first come out here.

"I never thought of you as an explorer..." Teuchi countered, before remembering something.

"Who's this young lady?" He asked, finally looking at the unknown girl before him.

"Eh? Who? Her?" He pointed at Haku.

"She's Haku-chan, my friend, and the person who saved my life." He introduced grinning.

"H-Hello." Haku answered, it was obvious she wasn't exactly as comfortable around people she didn't know.

"Nice to meet you Haku-chan." Teuchi greeted. Ayame did the same. Haku smiled softly at them.

"I met her here after she saved my life from drowning." He said, before tensing up.

...Now that I think about it, how did she swim while holding me up? There's no way she could do that...unless...Naruto lifted his head up.

"Jumping"..." He whispered to himself.

"What was that Naruto-kun?" Ayame asked, hearing something from Naruto,

"Ah? Nothing, it's nothing." He lied.

That's the only way to explain it...I guess Haku really is a "Jumper". He thought, but was interrupted by his own thoughts.

"Oh yeah. Ojji-san, do you remember the way back to Konoha? I...forgot." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Really now, what am I gonna do with you?" Teuchi shook his head, before stopping he liftedhis head up, and looked at Naruto.

"Your in luck, me, and Ayame-"

"Ayame-chan, and I." Naruto corrected. It was one of the few things he remembered from Sarutobi. Naruto had used the phrase, "Me, and..." a lot. Causing Sarutobi to correct him the same number of times. So eventually, he had remembered it. But he was interrupting as well, so Teuchi glared at him.

"Ayame, and I..." He looked at Naruto, who grinned before continuing.

"...are heading back today, why don't you come with us?" He offered. Naruto's grin widened, before looking to his side to see Haku.

"Hey did you hear that Haku-chan? We're gonna get to go to my village after all!" He hugged her tightly, causing her to blush, and although he didn't notice, Ayame had a strange look on her face. Almost...like jealousy. After the five-minute hug, he stopped, and looked at the ramen owner/s.

"So when do we leave? Haku, and I already have our stuff, so we're ready to go." The blond said.

"Actually, we're leaving now. Come on." (10) With that said, they left for the Village Hidden among Tree Leaves. It wasn't until they were on the outskirts that Naruto remembered something.

"Hey...didn't I have to do something today? Aw well, can't be that important if I forgot it." Too bad Naruto didn't know that almost all the things forgotten were the important things.

"NARUTO! Where the hell are you?!" Reiji yelled to the air with his hands on his head like a madman. In front of him were tons of boxes that were needed to be delivered.

"I'm going to kill that brat the next time I see him!"

For the next few days on the way back home, it was surprisingly quick. Although the only one feeling miserable along the way was Naruto.

Flashback

Naruto walked behind Teuchi with a grin. Haku, and Ayame were next to him staring at each other. If Naruto had known better, he would have guessed they were glaring at each other. Too bad he didn't see the electricity spark from both of their eyes.

Suddenly, Haku grabbed Naruto's left arm protectively, causing him to fall towards her slightly. Ayame, seeing this grabbed his right arm in the same manner, pulling him as well, as well as causing him to fall towards Ayame slightly.

The heck is going on? Naruto thought in his mind. The girls continued pulling on each of his arms, and he swerved side to side against their pulling.

Is this a game? Whatever it is, I don't like it! My arms are going to be pulled out of their sockets! Naruto yelled in his mind, and continued being pulled side to side.

Flashback End

Naruto shuddered at the memory, and continued walking forward. Teuchi said that they were getting close. Of course, this only fueled the excitement on the little blond boy. Not wanting to wait any longer, Naruto sped ahead of the group, despite their protesting shouts.

"I'm gonna go ahead okay? Catch up if you can." With that, Naruto sprinted ahead, leaving a small trail of dust behind.

"Ah man this is great!" He said to himself while running. It was true. Naruto had "Jumped" so much that he had forgotten what it was like to travel on his own feet. To feel normal. (11) He continued running up a hill, his anticipation rising like the temperature when boiling water. It kept rising, and rising until...

"There it is!" Naruto yelled with his finger pointing to the scene in front of him.

In front of him, and his finger, was his village. He could tell it was Konoha by the big red tower in the middle.

At this time, Ayame, Haku, and Teuchi had caught up, panting as they were out of breath from keeping up with Naruto. Barely.

"Hey Naruto! I'm...getting old, you...can't expect me to run like...a five year old you know." Teuchi said between breaths. Ayame, and Haku did as well. Naruto grinned.

"Hehe, sorry Ojii-san." Naruto, and the group slowly headed into Konoha afterwards. They were civilians, so the guards didn't question them.

Naruto eyed his surroundings with glee. The last time Naruto was here, it was only a month ago, but it had felt like forever! He intended to show Haku around for a while, but something clicked in his head.

"Oh Ojii-san! Can we eat ramen? Haku-chan here has never tried professionally made ramen yet!" Said Naruto, swaying his hands over towards Haku.

"Eh? But don't you have to check in with the hokage? You haven't been here for a month remember? You should at least tell him your back."

"Ah, that's right. I'll do that first. Come on Haku-chan, I gotta show you the man I'm gonna succeed someday!" He grabbed her hand, which made her blush, and started dragging her towards the Hokage tower. Poor Haku was barely keeping up.

"N-Naruto-kun!" Ayame reached her hand out, but withdrew it when she couldn't see him anymore.

"Naruto-kun..." She quietly said with comedic tears going down her eyes.

Naruto, and Ayame arrived at the Hokage's tower to see two Anbu guarding the entrance. But walked right through it as if they weren't there.

"Come on Haku-chan, follow me." He grabbed her hand, and navigated them to the Hokage's office, which didn't take long since Naruto had gone to the Hokage's office all the time. In front of them, were two double-doors that could be at least three times as tall as them. Instead of knocking like every decent person, Naruto barged in with a grin.

"Ojii-san, Uzumaki Naruto..." He paused for a dramatic effect. "...is back!" A gust of wind blew as it became eerily quiet.

"Oh, hey Naruto." Sarutobi greeted casually. This caused Naruto face-vault, as well as falling to the ground. Which caused Sarutobi, and Haku to sweat-drop.

"What the hell old man! I was gone for a freaking month!" He yelled, waving his arms frantically. However, Sarutobi grinned at him, and opened his arms.

"Haha Naruto-kun, you should know I'm joking." He told him with a hearty tone. Naruto put on a big grin, and jumped towards him in a embracing hug.

"I knew you were joking all along!" He shouted. Haku sweat-dropped.

Really Naruto-kun? She thought with another sweat-drop. At this moment, Sarutobi noticed the other unknown figure in the room.

"Oh? Who's this with you Naruto-kun?" Naruto jumped off of Sarutobi, and jogged over to Haku.

"Old man, this is Haku-chan. She saved my life." Naruto announced, smiling while introducing her. Haku blushed at the attention, and bowed respectfully towards Sarutobi.

"Nice to meet you..."

"Likewise Haku-chan." Sarutobi replied. "Please protect Naruto-kun from now on."

"Y-yes!"

"Hey hey old man! I'm the one that's going to protect her, not the other way around!" Naruto countered.

"Sure, if that's what you think Naruto-kun." Sarutobi said a bit sarcastically. He mouthed a 'no' towards Haku, who giggled in reply.

"Anyway old man! She was in the Land of Waves, but had no family. Do you think she can stay here in Konoha?" He asked a bit serious. Sarutobi rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he contemplated on the idea, until he stopped, and looked up to Naruto.

"Naruto-kun, what are you talking about? Bringing a minor from another land cannot be done without full consent from both lands, and that would take weeks!" Naruto began to frown. But...I'm sure that you found her within the Land of Fire border, and being as kind as you are, took her in, am I correct?" He asked.

"Eh? Old man what are you..." Naruto saw the wink from Sarutobi, and instantly brightened. "Ah!" He winked back. "I got ya old man." (12)

"Okay then. Oh by the way Naruto-kun, the academy starts next week, I've enrolled you in, do you want Haku-chan to enroll as well?" Sarutobi asked. Naruto looked at Haku.

"Do you?" He asked simply.

"Am I'm going to be with Naruto-kun?" She asked with hopeful eyes. Sarutobi nodded. "Then sure!" She said enthusiastically nodding.

"I see. Okay then, attend the academy with Naruto-kun next week, you too Naruto-kun." Naruto, and Haku nodded.

"Oh, Naruto-kun, tomorrow's your birthday right?" Naruto looked thoughtful for a moment, until he instantly brightened up.

"Oh yeah! My birthday is tomorrow! Duh..." He bonked himself on his head for his own stupidity. Haku looked surprised at this, but kept it to herself.

"Then here you go, an early birthday present. Three actually." Sarutobi said as he threw two objects at Naruto, who barely caught them. "Your allowance from me from the past month..." Naruto had gotten an allowance from Sarutobi ever since he had gotten kicked out of the orphanage. It was basically a welfare check. "...and a new set of kunai knives, and shuriken." Naruto opened a sack to see it packed full of bills, which made his eyes shine. The other bag was a tan pouch that he had seen ninja wear on their back waist. A item bag of some sorts, and apparently it held shuriken. The last was a rectangular pouch that held new shiny kunai knives which made his shine just as bright as the money did.

"Aw thanks a lot old man!" Naruto thanked as he held the items close to him.

"Haku-chan, do you need some?" She shook her head. "Are you sure?"

"Um...well I don't need them, but I do need some senbon." She told him.

"Eh? What are senbon?" Asked Naruto.

"You'll find out in the academy." Naruto pouted.

"Senbon are pretty cheap, I can get you them easily." Haku perked up, and bowed.

"Thank you very much."

"Come on Haku-chan, I gotta show you Ichiraku's!" Naruto begged.

"Okay, but let me talk to Hokahe-sama first." He tilted his head in confusion, but nodded.

"Okay, I'll wait outside." He said as he walked out the door leading outside, and closed it.

"What's on your mind Haku-chan?" Sarutobi asked.

"Um..." She fidgeted. "Naruto-kun's birthday is tomorrow right?" Sarutobi nodded, and understood why she wanted to talk to him.

"Haku-chan, if your worrying on what you think Naruto-kun would want for his birthday, then forget about it." He stated.

"Eh? But..." Sarutobi cut him off.

"Trust me. Staying his friend would be one of his most treasured gifts of all. He doesn't have many friends you know." He told her. She didn't say anything, but left the office as Sarutobi shooed her out.

"Haku-chan! What did you talk to the old man about?" Naruto asked as soon as she got out of the office.

"Nothing, come on you were going to show me something right?"

"Oh yeah, that's right come on." He took her hand, and navigated their way outside the tower.

For the rest of the day, Naruto showed Haku around his favorite hotspots around Konoha, first starting with Ichiraku, and now ending at his most treasured spot - The top of the Hokage monuments. Sarutobi had shown Naruto it when he was younger, and Naruto had loved the view ever since. The two now sat on top, just a few minutes before midnight.

"Naruto-kun, this is such an amazing view!" Haku told him stunned.

"Yeah. The view always calms me down...it also..." Naruto put on a serious face. "...reminds me of my dream, and why I want that dream to be true."

"To be hokage right?"

"Yeah! I'm a bit surprised you remembered." He told her. It was the truth, most people didn't remember his dream when he told them. "The hokage is supposed to protect their village, but sometimes I'm not sure if it's worth protecting..." He said as he reminisced the attack the villagers had on him just before he had unlocked his "Jumping" ability. "I'm constantly reminded of how ugly this world is, but every once in a while, I'm reminded of how beautiful it can be. And you know, I'm being reminded of how beautiful it can be right now, when I'm with you." (13) Haku looked at him in a new light slightly embarassed.

"Of course I feel that way with Ayame-chan, Teuchi, and the old man too." He said as a side note, scratching the back of his head which in Haku's opinion, totally killed the mood.

"O-of course."

"Haku-chan?" She looked up at him.

"Let's be good friends from here on out okay?" He said grinning with one eye closed. Haku looked up at him, before replying with a nod.

With no words exchanged, they both knew that Haku had just given Naruto his birthday present, and Naruto had gladly accepted.

"Happy Birthday...Naruto-kun." (14)

It's been six years since Naruto had arrived back in Konoha with Haku, and the graduation exam was not too far away. Naruto had been the dead-last of the class, he never found anything interesting unless Iruka, their class sensei was teaching a jutsu, which wasn't often. Haku had been the average student, receiving marks between above average, and average. Naruto had also grown a one-sided rivalry with Uchiha Sasuke, the number one rookie of the year; a title fitting for an Uchiha.. Naruto personally didn't like him, Sasuke had fan-girls around him all the time, and didn't really care for any of their feelings, mutual, or not.

Naruto had also grown a crush on Haruno Sakura; pink haired, smart, and beautiful in Naruto's eyes. It was unfortunately not reciprical, and to make it worse for Naruto, she was one of Sasuke's fan-girls.

Over the years, Naruto had practiced his chakra control every single day to perfect his "Jumps", which had now barely made any release of chakra at, and before his "Jumps". Something Naruto was glad for. (15)Although he "Jumped" a lot, he did not become reliant on it, and walked around normally most of the time.

Naruto planned on using "Jumps" in battle since the graduation exam was coming close, and if he had passed it, he'd have to fight stronger people, but he didn't want others to find out about his ability unless it was an emergency, so Naruto bought smoke bombs to prevent anyone from seeing.

When Naruto first entered the academy, he was surprised to see that he had been in the same class with a Hyuuga. Not any Hyuuga, Hinata Hyuuga, the heiress to the clan. (16) The very Hinata that he had saved when that guy had tried to kidnap her. Hinata, was more than ecstatic to have Naruto in the same class. The two quickly became good friends as they got to know each other, but in the past two years, Hinata would always act a bit strange around him, always red in the face, fainting all the time, and that cute twiddling thing she does with her fingers. Naruot always thought she was sick, but he did overhear some people saying how Hinata never acted like that around them. Maybe it was only Naruto...

Speaking of Hinata, Naruto had also encountered her little sister - Hyuuga Hanabi. Their meeting was...slightly odd....no really odd actually.

Naruto, Hinata, and Haku walked down a street towards the Hyuuga compound. The three had just got out of class, and they were walking home which coincidentally was the same way the three lived. Today was a bit different however, Naruto felt something tugging at his leg, and wondering what it was, he twisted his body around to look at his leg. On his leg, was a little girl, no older than six. (17)

"Eh..." Naruto started. "...there's something on my leg..." He finished until that 'thing' looked up, and Naruto saw pupil-less eyes, the same as Hinata's. "Holy crap it's a girl!" He tried shaking the girl off by swinging his leg, but the girl had a firm grip. Hinata intervened though.

"Naruto-kun stop!" She told him. Her voice caused him to stop, and look at her. "That's my sister..."

"Eh?" He put his leg down, and the girl's grip on Naruto's leg loosened, and she fell to the ground softly as she got dizzy from Naruto's efforts to swing her off. Hinata, in good-sister-mode, immediately came up patted her back.

"Hanabi, are you okay?" Hanabi nodded as Naruto, and Haku watched.

"Hanabi? Oh I love fireworks! They're so beautiful." Naruto said. At this moment, Hanabi immediately blushed as she looked up at Naruto. (18)

"Hanabi why are you here? Shouldn't you be at home?" Hinata asked. Hanabi shook her head.

"But it's boring there Onee-chan!" (19) She answered. "Can I hang out with you guys?"

"I don't know..." Hinata looked up to Naruto, and Haku. "Is that alright?"

"Sure, it's fine."

"Why not?"

"Then I don't see why not..." Hanaby yelled out a small 'yay', and jumped up.

"What are we going to do?" Naruto scratched the back of his head.

"Um, we were going to just walk home, but why don't we go to the training ground, and train?"

"Look at what I can do!" Hanabi yelled as she water-walked across a lake. (20)

"Whoa! Hanabi you can do that at your age?" Naruto asked, shocked. He was still having trouble doing tree-walking, but here was a young girl three years younger than him, and she was going it like a piece of cake! Hanabi nodded her head with respect, her father never really compliments, and Hanabi was glad to accept it.

"Hinata-chan, I'm going to the bathroom, will you come with me?" Haku asked.

"Eh? O-okay. Naruto-kun, c-can you watch Hanabi p-please?"

"You can count on me!" Naruto pumped his fist in the air to show his enthusiasm. The two girls walked off to who knows where?

"Why go girls always go to the bathroom together anyway...? Ah, girls are weird." Naruto said to himself as he walked up a tree, and jumped off as he reached the top. A splash reached his ears, and he turned around to see nothing but the grass, and the lake.

"What was that?" Naruto murmured to himself, and turned to the tree to resume his training before a thought immediately hit his head.

"Hanabi?!" He looked back to the lake, and searched for her frantically, but to no avail. "Where is she?!" He asked again, and without thinking, he jumped into the lake.

"Oh wait, I still can't swim..." Naruto remembered, until he saw a frantic Hanabi trying to get out of the lake. Luckily, even though Naruto couldn't swim, he could still "Jump" in the water. He "Jumped" towards Hanabi, grabbed her by the hand, and "Jumped" back on land.

The two were now soaking wet, as Naruto flipped Hanabi over, her back facing down, as she coughed up water.

"Hanabi, are you okay?!" She coughed two more times, before she responded.

"Y-yeah..." She sat up, and looked up at Naruto in a new light.

"You saved me...Thanks..." Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"No problem!" He grinned at her. Hanabi blushed at his grin, and she looked down. At this point, Haku, and Hinata had returned, and Hinata, who noticed them being completely wet, she ran up to Naruto, and Hanabi frantically.

"What happened?!" Hinata asked.

"I fell in the water while I was water-walking, and fell in the water..." She explained.

"But Onii-chan saved me!" She exclaimed. Everyone said 'huh', and looked around for who Onii-chan could be. Hanabi suddenly glommed on Naruto.

"Thank you, Onii-chan!" She thanked, as she buried her head in Naruto's chest.

"Ehhhh?!" Naruto, Hinata, and Hanabi yelled.

From then on, Hanabi had called Naruto Onii-chan, much to Naruto's discomfort at first, but had now grown accustomed to it.

A twelve year old Naruto put on his orange jacket, along with his green goggles, given to him by the hokage. They really helped him with his pranks. Beside him, a twelve year old Haku, she wore a blue, and white kimono, that reached down to thighs, and under it, short-shorts, which made Naruto slightly uncomfortable at how...short they were. Especially seeing how 'grown up' Haku looked after six years of living with her.

"Naruto-kun, ready?" Haku asked. Naruto finished putting on his jacket, and answered.

"But Haku-chan! I still need to eat." He whined. Haku sighed exasperatedly, she knew nothing could keep Naruto from eating.

"Okay, suit yourself, I'll be heading to the academy first. I'll see you there." She told him as she walked out the door. He waved to her goodbye, and didn't stop until she left. He waited a few seconds before finally...

"Alright! Time for my prank before I finally become a ninja!" Naruto pumped his fist in the air enthusiastically. Naruto grabbed some paint buckets from his room, and ran out the door.

"NARUTO!"

"Uh oh." Naruto jumped off the hokage monument, and started jumping across rooftops, running away from the ninja trying to capture him. He was glad that he finished before he got caught.

"Naruto get back here! You've gone too far!" Two of the chunin said, chasing him.

"I'd rather not! If you want to capture me, then do it yourselves losers! Haha!" Naruto laughed as the chase continued for another good ten minutes before Naruto chose to camouflage himself among the fences of Konoha, and was glad that the ninja chasing him ran right pass him.

"Hehe, losers. No one can catch the great-" Naruto was cut off.

"Na-ru-to!" A voice came from behind him, which literally scared the pants off of Naruto as his pants dropped down to his knees as he landed.

"I-iruka-sensei? What are you doing here?!" Naruto said, hastily putting his pants on.

"What am I doing here? What are you doing here?! You're supposed to be in class!" Iruka yelled at him. Naruto swore Iruka's head was about to explode.

"Eh...there's a good explanation for this...uh..." Naruto stammered. But the next thing he knew, was him being dragged to his classroom.

"Oh I know!" He looked around at his surroundings. "Wait what the hell when did I get in here? And when the hell did you tie me up?!" Naruto looked down at himself to see he was tied tightly with a rope. The whole class laughed at the boy except for Hinata, and Haku just sighed.

"That idiot..." She said.

"Naruto, you've failed the last three graduation exams, but that was because you took them early, I can understand, but if you fail the year where you're supposed to know everything, then that's just plain stupid!" Iruka lectured. Naruto, apparently was falling asleep.

"Ugh! Everyone line up! We're reviewing the transformation technique, and you can thank Naruto! The majority of the class moaned.

"Uchiha Sasuke, you're up." Sasuke stoically walked up to the front of the class in front of Iruka, and performed the transformation perfectly. The girls cheered for him as he did so, but he didn't react at all.

Sakura did the same thing, however she asked if Sasuke was looking, however he had already returned to his seat, and began brooding.

Naruto was up, and...his transformation was perfect. And perfect it was. In every knick, and cranny. Naruto had transformed into a girl, a rather busty girl. This would be normal, however Naruto was supposed to transform into Iruka, and second, the girl was completely naked. Smoke barely covering the privates. Needless to say, the majority of the male section of the class had a massive nosebleed. Especially Iruka surprisingly. Haku's face darkened.

"I thought I told him not to do that technique anymore..."

"How was that Iruka-sensei? That was my Oiroke no Jutsu!" He laughed.

"Na-ru-to! Quit your tricks! This is your last warning!" Iruka yelled once again.

"Jeez, I can't believe you made me clean the entire monument." Naruto complained as he stretched his arm.

"Hey I'm treating you to ramen, don't complain."

"Yes yes. Itadakimasu!" Naruto yelled before digging into his ramen.

"Hey Naruto..."

"Hm?" He looked up from his ramen.

"Why do you do stuff like that? Do you know who they are?"

"Of course! They're the hokage! Best ninja in the village when they were alive. And the fourth was the greatest, he sacrificed himself for the village right?"

"Correct. But if you know that why did you do that?"

"Well it's simple. I'll become a greater ninja than any of them! I'll become hokage someday, the best hokage. Once I do that, I'll protect the village from everything! And then they'll have to respect me!" Naruto finished off with pointing his chopsticks at Iruka. Who at this point, looked at Naruto in awe.

"What you don't think I can do it?"

"No no. I was just thinking, that's a pretty big dream."

"Well of course! That's why they're called dreams. If your gonna dream, dream big." (21) Naruto sipped the soup of his ramen before he licked his lips clean. "That hit the spot."

"Naruto...I'm sure you'll be able to do it someday." Iruka grinned at him.

"Thanks Iruka-sensei!" Naruto grinned back. "By the way..."

"Hm?"

"Can I try on your headband? Real quick please." He clapped his hands together.

"This? Nah, you need to be an official ninja to wear this."

"Aww come on!" Iruka shook his head.

"Tch, fine! Old man, five more bowls!" Naruto yelled.

"Eh?!"

That night, Haku had a little talk with Naruto about the Oiroke no Jutsu. Needless to say, Naruto won't be using it in front of Haku in a long time.

The next day, Naruto was pumped, he was going to pass the test no matter what! He was sure he had barely passed the other tests, except the stealth test, that was easy, so if he passed the last test, he was a shoe-in to be a ninja.

"Okay class, we'll be doing the clone technique today as the final test." Naruto swore as the words came out, they stabbed his heart.

"Shit..." Naruto cursed. Hinata beside him, heard him, and asked,

"W-what is it N-Naruto-kun?" She stuttered as usual.

"It's just the clone technique is my worse jutsu. I can't even do it. I'm not sure why, but I just can't..." He sighed sadly.

"I-I'm sure you'll do great, Naruto-kun." She told him.

"Yeah Naruto-kun, you'll do fine."

"Gee, thanks guys! I'm definitely not going to-"

"FAIL!"

"Damn it..." Naruto cursed, as he kicked one of his dead clones, only to stumble because of it's un-realness.

"Maybe we can pass him Iruka, he made a clone, much better than last time." Mizuki offered. At this point, Naruto brightened up instantly, only to sulk as he heard Iruka's reply.

"No. We just can't. The clone may be a distraction, but only for a laugh. This won't fool anybody. I'm sorry Naruto, you'll have to take it next year." Iruka mentioned sadly. Naruto didn't say anything, he only opened up a nearby window, and hopped out.

Naruto sat on the old swing-set as he watched the other ninja get congratulated by his their family. The fact that Naruto failed the test for the fourth time was bad enough, but for people who did pass the test to get congratulated by their parents made him feel worse. He stopped swinging slightly when he felt saw something overshadow him.

"Naruto-kun?" He looked up to see Haku with a worried face. Seeing Haku, Naruto instantly put up a smile, which faltered a bit as he saw the shining headband on her neck.

"Hey Haku-chan! How's it going!?" He asked loudly.

"Naruto-kun..."

"Ah I knew I wouldn't have passed. I didn't really practice the Bunshin no Jutsu that much." He rubbed the back of his head. "I guess I'll have to do better next year right?"

"R-right..." "Hey Haku-chan?" She looked at him. "I'm gonna be home late today, I feel like staying here for a bit longer, so go home without me..." He said with his head down.

"Naruto-kun...remember, I'm here for you..." He put on a small smile.

"Thanks...Haku-chan..." She left as he continued to swing on the swing-set slowly. Once again, someone else had overshadowed him. Naruto looked up, and saw Mizuki.

"Mizuki-sensei?"

The two now sat on top of the academy rooftop looking out at the village. In Naruto's opinion, the look wasn't that bad, but not as good the top of the hokage monument.

"You know Naruto, Iruka doesn't have anything against you."

"I know. I just couldn't do the jutsu. Now I'll have to wait a whole year to take it again." At this point, Mizuki's eyes glinted with a scheme for a second, but it was as soon as it appeared.

"I know a way to graduate Naruto." Naruto's ears literally perked up as he heard this.

"Really?! How?" Naruto was on his feet now as he waited for the answer.

"Okay, this is a secret test that only a few ninja have passed before. In the hokage tower, there is a super secret scroll with powerful techniques. You have to sneak in there, without being caught, and steal it. Take it in the woods, and learn a technique. If you learned the technique, then you pass."

"Really?! Okay! This'll be a peace of cake! I'll get started now." Naruto jumped off the academy, and landed on the side of the building after sticking chakra to his feet. He checked to see if Mizuki was out of sight, before he "Jumped" into the hokage tower.

"This was easier than I thought." Naruto said to himself as he grabbed the giant scroll. The hardest part was getting into the room with the scroll, and that wasn't saying much.

"Hey! Who's in there?!" Naruto heard someone say as the ninja fiddled with the door.

"Oh crap!" He yelled quietly before "Jumping" out to the woods. Naruto rolled out the scroll, and looked at the very first technique.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu..." If Naruto was in a cowboy movie, a tumbleweed would have blow by.

"Shadow clones? Clones are my worse technique!" Naruto moaned, but proceeded through the instructions of the scroll anyway.

Within an hour, Naruto if not mastered, then almost mastered the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

"Weird...I wonder why I can do this easier than the Bunshin no Jutsu...oh well! No use thinking about it now since I'm a shoe-in to pass!" Naruto jumped in the air pumping his fist. However, while in the air, Naruto heard a familiar voice...well rather a yell.

"NA-RU-TO! Why did you steal the forbidden scroll!" Naruto turned around to see Iruka with his angry big head again.

"Hey I found you!" Naruto yelled, pointing at him.

"Idiot! I found you!"

"Hehe...well never mind that! I'm going to show you a super awesome jutsu! Then you'll have to pass me right?!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Mizuki told me, that if I learned a jutsu from this scroll, and showed it to you, you would pass me!"

"Mizuki?!" Iruka sensed some shuriken going towards the blond, but Iruka pushed Naruto out of the way before it could reach him, but in doing so, he took the attack for Naruto.

"I-Iruka-sensei...?"

"Naruto, you did well, now give me the scroll." Mizuki commanded.

"No! Naruto don't give him the scroll, no matter what!"

"What's happening?

"Naruto, that scroll is filled with strong jutsu that would lead to devastation if the wrong people got their hands on it! Mizuki tricked you into getting it!"

"W-wha...? I was tricked...?" Naruto looked down at the ground.

"It's not like you need it Naruto. You already have something powerful in you...do you know what it is?"

"Something...inside me...?" Naruto put a hand on his chest.

He's probably not talking about "Jumping", so what is it? Naruto looked at Mizuki.

"Looks like you don't know, I'll tell you."

"Mizuki! It's forbidden to speak of that!" Mizuki ignored him.

"Twelve years ago, the Kyuubi no Yoko(22) attacked the village. Remember the story?" Naruto nodded. "Well there was something that wasn't mentioned in that story. You don't know the official story."

"Official story? What are you talking about?! Tell me!" Naruto demanded.

"The Kyuubi wasn't killed! He's right there!" Mizuki pointed at Naruto. "You are the Kyuubi no Yoko! The very demon that attacked the village! The one who killed Iruka's parents! Don't you find it odd that everyone in the village hates you!?" A mental image of Naruto being chased by the villagers appeared in Naruto's mind.

"Iruka's no different! He hates you for killing his parents as well!" Mizuki prepared one of his giant shurikens to throw at Naruto.

Naruto has never known a parent's love, the villagers hate him, and the only way to get attention is to cause trouble, he wants people to acknowledge him in everyway possible, he looks happy, but I can see he's suffering... Iruka thought. Like a spring, Iruka shot towards Naruto before the shuriken could hit Naruto. The shuriken stuck deep into Iruka's back, but luckily did not hit his spine. Looking down, Naruto looked at him with a shocked face.

"Iruka-sensei...? W-why?" Iruka coughed a bit before replying.

"B-because we're the same...I know the pain you've been through, I should have been a better teacher so you wouldn't have had to go through the pain no one should have gone through." It was too much. Naruto stood up, and sprinted away from the two.

"Naruto!"

Panic rose in the village as news of Naruto stealing the forbidden scroll became bigger, and bigger.

"He's totally dangerous! If you find him, kill him! He might release the power of the demon!" The group of ninja agreed as they spread out in search of him.

Sarutobi however, was calm, and chose to look into his crystal ball to find Naruto.

"Ah there he is."

Naruto is unstable, he's really scared. I just hope he doesn't break the seal because of all this. It's not likely, but it's definitely possible...

Naruto jumped from branch to branch trying to escape from wherever the Iruka, and Mizuki were. He eventually slowed down to a halt, he could have continued at the same pace, but he needed to think. No, he really needed to think. None of it made sense! How could he be the Kyuubi? He looked like, and acted human didn't he? His thoughts were interrupted when he saw Iruka chasing him. The only problem, was Naruto was him, if that was true, then who was Iruka chasing? Wasting no time, Naruto chased Mizuki on ground.

Within a few minutes, Naruto was finally close enough to hear them.

"Naruto! Give me the scroll! I'll get it away from Mizuki, and you can run-" Iruka was cut off as "Naruto" tackled Iruka in the stomach, knocking him into a tree, while "Naruto" landed on the ground, and leaned against a tree exhausted.

"How...how did you know I wasn't Iruka?!" Iruka got covered in smoke before he emerged as Mizuki.

"That's easy, because I am Iruka." "Naruto" got covered in smoke as well, before he emerged as Iruka.

"Why do you protect him? The Kyuubi killed your family didn't it?" Mizuki asked.

"Yeah...there's no way I would forget that demon killing my parents. I hate it with all my guts." Iruka said quietly. As Naruto listened, each word stabbed through his heart painfully.

"So even Iruka-sensei hates me..." However Iruka continued talking.

"But Naruto isn't the Kyuubi. He is one of my excellent students, he's not a hard-worker, no one accepts him, and is clumsy. He's felt pain, and that proves he isn't the Kyuubi. Uzumaki Naruto is a member of Konoha." Iruka finished.

By now, Naruto's face was leaking many different fluids at the words that touched his heart.

"Okay Iruka, if that's how it is, hurry up, and die!" Mizuki readied his shuriken as he prepared to throw it at Iruka, and kill him, however Naruto at the last moment "Jumped" right in front of him, and punched him right in the face. Mizuki fell, and slid back a few feet.

"Naruto?!" Taking off the scroll, Naruto stood with determination in his eyes.

"If you ever touch Iruka-sensei, I'll show no mercy!!"

"Naruto! What are you doing? Run away!"

"Kyuubi! I'll kill you in one shot!"

"Oh yeah? Then try it you bastard!" Naruto stood firmly as he Mizuki ran towards him with all intent to kill. Mizuki pulled out a kunai, and swung it at Naruto...only to hit air?

"What the hell?!"

"Over here!" Mizuki turned around to see a fist coming right towards him. Naruto's fist hit with a sickening sound to Mizuki's nose as he flew back. Naruto wasn't done yet, Naruto "Jumped" behind Mizuki before he could hit the ground, and hit Mizuki with his right fist again.

"I'm not done yet!" Mizuki yelled as he got up, and rushed towards Naruto. Once again, Naruto "Jumped" right behind him, and aimed for another attack, however Mizuki predicted this, and instead of hitting, Naruto was hit with Mizuki's fist, and flew into a tree. Naruto coughed out blood at the impact.

"Naruto!"

"I don't know how you're teleporting, but if you teleport in the same place all the time, it's worthless!"

"Tch, he's right. Then...I'll try above!" Naruto "Jumped" right in front of Mizuki, and threw a right, but Mizuki caught it. Thinking quickly, Naruto "Jumped" above Mizuki, and threw down his heel against Mizuki's head, only for it to be caught.

"You're also forgetting the different between you, and I. Although I can't sense where you "Jump" all the time, I can definitely block the attacks you aim at me! It's not that I'm too fast, it's just your too slow!" Mizuki grabbed Naruto's foot, and swung him into another tree.

"Ugh...ouch..." Naruto said as he got back up on his feet.

"Damn...I know! I'll try the smoke bombs, and my shadow clones!" Naruto pulled out a hand full of smoke bombs from his pouch, and threw them at Mizuki, and using chakra, Naruto ran up a tree until he was on the top of the tree.

"Okay, time for the finisher! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he created eleven clones. One stayed with him, while the other ten formed groups of two around Mizuki.

"Okay, you guys know what to do!" The real Naruto yelled. The clones nodded. His clone grabbed him by the collar, and the other clones proceeded to do the same. Naruto, and the clones waited for the smoke to disperse, and as soon as it did, "Now!" Each clone threw one Naruto, including the real Naruto towards Mizuki at a surprisingly fast pace.

Mizuki looked up to see six Naruto's aiming for him, and before he could do anything, the clones struck him.

"Naruto Kamikaze!" (23) Naruto yelled as each Naruto hit dead-on with the target. Needless to say, it was very painful, and Mizuki passed out.

"Those were real clones...That's a jounin level jutsu. Naruto, you've really grown have you?" Iruka said as he stood up, ignoring the pain, and walked towards Naruto.

"Oww...I think I overdid it." Naruto said as he rubbed his head. "I shouldn't do that a lot, or I'll definitely have brain damage like you said right Iruka-sensei?" Naruto joked.

"Hehe, yeah." Iruka laughed. "Hey come over here Naruto, I wanna show you something."

"Eh?"

"Did anyone find him?!" One ninja asked. They've been searching for quite a while, but no one had found Naruto yet.

"It's fine." Sarutobi said.

"Hokage-sama!"

"There's nothing to worry about, he'll be back soon." He finished. Sarutobi had just witnessed the battle, and was glad to see everything had turned out great.

"Ne Iruka-sensei, how long is this going to take?" Naruto whined.

"Okay, you can open your eyes." Naruto opened his eyes to see Iruka smiling at him. However he didn't have his headband.

"Eh? Ne Iruka-sensei, where did your headband go? Did you lose it during the fight?" He said as he scratched the back of his head, only to notice his goggles that he always wore weren't there. It's stretchy material replaced with a soft cloth.

What the...Naruto touched his forehead to feel a cool, metal plate. He looked at Iruka in shock.

"D-does this mean...!"

"Congratulations...on graduating Naruto. Let's celebrate." Iruka said with a grin. Naruto was at a lost for words, and he felt tears coming out of his eyes. He quickly wiped them away as he glommed on Iruka.

"Hey Naruto, I'm still in pain ya know..." Naruto got off, and blushed.

"Hehe sorry, let's go to the hospital before we go eat some ramen."

"That would be a much better plan."

"Oh yeah, Iruka-sensei?"

"Hm?"

"Thanks, I won't disappoint you!!!"

At Naruto's house...

"Where the hell is Naruto-kun?!" Haku yelled as she sat on the couch worried. "I know he said he would be late, but this is ridiculous! Wait till I get my hands on him..."

Naruto sneezed, and a big chill went up his spine.

"Naruto are you okay? You sick?" Iruka asked as a nurse checked the wound on his back.

"Yeah I'm fine, but I just have the strangest feeling about something...and it's not good..."

1. I don't feel like looking it up right now, but I'm pretty sure paranoia is when your mind is in a state where fear, causes you to do things you wouldn't normally do in a situation. But it also might be where your suspicious of someone, in this case, Naruto is suspicious that Haku knows he's a "Jumper", and she might try to kill him.

2. Okay, be honest, did I fool any of you guys? I don't know why I even put this there, but I felt like I needed to...Okay not really, I just wanted to fool you guys. The dream will probably only affect Naruto a tiny bit. Because he knows it was a dream.

3. Here, Naruto thought that if Haku knew he was a "Jumper", then she wouldn't have saved him when he almost drowned. And how she even knows he was a "Jumper", is because she saw him

4. Just to let you know, he's not uber strong, like a god like child. Just, stronger than a normal child his age. Well...put it this way, a normal child his age wouldn't even be training his muscles, so that child has no muscles. But Naruto has unconsciously been doing that, so he does have muscles. Just...put two and two together...Although this A/N probably wasn't necessary XD.

5. I did that mainly for a humorous reason, it won't have any effect on the story. XD.

6. She said the same thing a big after he had his dream. Look above if you don't remember.

7. Eh...I never really planned it to be that emotional. But for all you Naruto X Rare pairings, and Naruto X Haku lovers out there, enjoy it. XD.

8. Don't ask why potatoes...LOL.

9. Purposely put "Wassup" by the way.

10. I know that was kind of sudden, but I wanted to the story moving along.

11. In the movie, if you've seen it, or not, the main character (I forgot his name, it's been a while since I watched it) "Jumped" for seven years, and eventually got lazy. Well in my opinion. He "Jumped" two inches to the right to get a remote! A freaking remote! Come on how lazy is that? I don't want Naruto to "Jump" so much he'll get reliant on it. That, would not be good.

12. I'm not sure how the law is for that, so I'm kind of making that up. And basically, Sarutobi is trying to say that Haku was found within the border of the Land of Fire, and is thus a citizen of said Land.

13. A quote from one of Digifruit's stories. I loved the quote, and it seemed right for this moment. Naruto's only (almost) six, and he's questioning his dream at a young age, and that's alright. The hokage is supposed to protect everyone in the village, and that means everyone. But because of the mistreatment he received from the majority of the villagers, (The ugly "world") he questions if he should pursue to become hokage, or not. But now that he has met Haku, (his reminder) he's looking forward to his dream. And I forgot to ask Digifruit if I could use the quote in my story, but I'm asking now, and if she does not want me to, guess I'll have to re-write that part.

14. Ah! Freaking corny, I didn't mean to do that, but I wanted to get the child arc done...not to mention I totally made a big NaruXHaku moment there...

15. Hey, the main character in Jumper mastered Jumping in seven years, Naruto has been "Jumping" almost as long as that, so it's all good.

16. I think she was the heir, but I'm too lazy to look it up. XD I want to have this done by the end of today, (Christmas Day)

17. I'm just going to assume Hanabi is the same age as Konohamaru and co. So by the time the timeskip was over, Konohamaru and co. were already Genin, so probably twelve, or so. So since she's about six, Naruto, and co. are nine.

18. In case you didn't know, Hanabi's name, means fireworks in Japanese. So basically, Naruto said "I love Hanabi".

19. Onee-chan = Big sister.

20. The Hyuuga clan uses the Jyuuken as their primary attack, which I'm pretty sure requires a good amount of chakra control. The Hyuuga being...strict, I'm sure they train their children in chakra control at young ages, so they can start on Byakugan training as soon as possible. And remember, six isn't an exaggerated age since didn't Itachi graduate the academy, or something at a young age?...I dunno...

21. As a side note, I've always loved that quote. XD

22. Nine-tailed Fox.

23. Not a pun on his name, but in case you didn't know, Kamikaze is basically a suicide attack. Which Naruto is basically doing. He can't protect himself in the air, (Without "Jumping" anyway) and is crashing himself, with the opponent.

Whooooo! Finished! Which is really weird since I started this chapter two months ago...

Well sorry about the wait, and I wanted to get this done before Christmas was over, but I didn't make it in time! Noez!

Ah well, I brought you this ten-thousand word chapter. LIKE IT.

Don't expect the next chapters to be this long by the way. It'll still be the traditional six-thousand words.

And sorry for the somewhat boring fight, the fight in the canon didn't have much either, so I guess you, and I can't really complain.

Oh, and I know Haku didn't get much dialogue in this chapter, but hopefully in later chapters she will get more lines.

Well anyway, see ya. And Merry Christmas!
