Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own Naruto.

Sorry for my slow updates to my faithful reviewers (forget the ones that read and don't review.) Fuck, who am I kidding no one reads this crap of a story anyways. Well if anyone does enjoy this story (which I highly doubt) I apologize for my slow update. Actually I was going to discontinue this Fic, but for some reason after I read an awesome fic called Way of the Rattlesnake (even though I wish he would take out some of the bashing of Sasuke) by some author (I forgot his/her name) and a terrific but very underrated fic named New Perspective by Shadow2341, I wanted to write again. That's another reason why I decided to write this fic because like them I hope I have the ability to get someones writing juices going.

Also I wanted everyone to know I made changes to Chapter 4, because I made Naruto look like a little bitch against Sasuke. I think most people would enjoy the edited Chapter a lot more, since it makes Naruto look more like the boss that he is/should be.

In this chapter I was about to have an epic battle between Danzo and Hiruzenbut decided it would take even longer to get this chapter out. Another thing I decided to shake up the teams, because I'm tired of seeing fics where Naruto is the only one; who gets switched.

I would like to thank my Beta DogBoy01 for editing this chapter. Without him it would have been crappy as usual.

The council meeting was at least two hours of heated discussions where Sarutobi kept quiet throughout, because firstly, he knew that everything was arranged and secondly, because it was reported to him that operation Kakonwotatsu was a success. Although despite being quiet, he was rather upset about the lies and exaggerations of his 'friends' Homura and Koharu.

'How?' asked Sarutobi. 'How could I have trust those two traitors for so long? Those two bastards and Danzo will pay, mark my words!'

"Akira-san" said Koharu. "We have already presented a lot of evidence showing you why Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer fit to be Kage of Konoha, however, the most serious act is how he dealt with Naruto stealing the Forbidden Scroll of Seals; which occurred a little over two weeks ago. I, as a member of the Board of Konoha ask that Uzumaki Naruto, Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, proceed to the center of the room to be questioned."

Sarutobi pretended to be angry with Koharu and Homura, but actually, the scene of Naruto being somewhat questioned by the traitors in the presence of Feudal had an 80% chance of succeeding in their favor according Shikaku.

After the conversation with the Feudal Lord, who retired to the mansion he kept in Konoha, Sarutobi asked Naruto to stay behind to discuss the meeting. He also told him to answer everything as it was and not to lie because Danzo, Koharu and Homura would realize, as they were great shinobi in their time and that if he were to answer any questions about the parchment his parents had left to simply say that it was a clan secret, which was actually the truth. Naruto nodded affirmatively and said he probably would have some surprises for the elderly trio. The smile on the face of Naruto brought chills to the spine of Sarutobi, because it was the same smile that the blonde had whenever he did his pranks on a large scale.

Naruto stood up, grabbed his katana which he strapped to his back and then strung the parchment around his neck.

After setting the katana and the parchment and not really wanting to bother with moving to the center of the assembly, Naruto started walking after deciding to show off a bit for his audience. With a set of seals performed with his left hand he vanished in a swirl of wind and fire and reappeared in the middle of the room with the same vortex. After the had spent much of the night testing the shunshin with one hand until he was proficient, it was the most logical thing from his point of view with which to show off, even if it was just a little bit.

The present shinobi tensed as many of them felt the blonde mold both Katon and Fuuton chakra types and instinctively put their hands to their kunai holders, but then noticed that Naruto was simply using a harmless shunshin. Most shinobi and former shinobi looked at Naruto stop in the middle of the room with his hands in his pockets. 'Show off' thought a smiling Sarutobi whos thoughts mirrored most of the shinobi in the room and even managed to hear a comment from a troubled shinobi councilmember.

Danzo simply arched his left eyebrow when he saw Naruto appear in a swirl of wind and fire, greatly interesting to see someone so young using an elementary shunshin. Besides seeing the shunshin, Danzo had heard rumors that the blonde had used two powerful jutsus to kill a Giant Emperor Beetle; which he could now believe were true. Seeing is believing they say.

Homura looked on with almost uncontrollable disgust at the Jinchuriki that had killed three children who intriguingly enough had been members of his family, therefore making him the last Mitokado and at his age it was almost impossible to have children. Because on one hand the current level of medicine had never been dedicated to curing male impotence and secondly, although still capable of having sex with a fertile woman, he ran the risk of having a child with some type of mental disability because of his advanced age and if that were the case would have opted to kill the newborn immediately.

Koharu meanwhile, looked at the blonde with disdain because she regarded him as an inferior being, a pest that did not deserve to breathe the same air as she. Knowing that Homura had no good way to try and disparage the Jinchuriki, Koharu decided to ask the questions in order to keep to the plan, which was to cast a bad light on the Jinchuriki as he was not noted for his alertness or mental capacity. That of course was old and incorrect information and in the end it cost them dearly.

"Name, age and occupation Koharu said initiating the series of questions and trying to sound as intimidating as possible.

"Uzumaki Naruto, twelve years of age, Genin of Konohagakure no Sato" replied the blonde with an un-intimated face.

"Uzumaki" sternly warned Homura. "I'm warning you it's not good to lie to the council, we all know that you did not graduate from the academy."

Naruto nodded and looked at the elderly man and smiled.

"I would recommend that you go and see a medic-nin because your eye sight is pretty bad" Naruto said pointing to his hitai-ate on his forehead. "See I am a shinobi of Konoha.

Naruto looked at Homura and Koharu, who both frowned. The shinobi held their laughter at the comment noting that Naruto had guts to ridicule the old councilors to their face in front of so many people. Tsume was biting her lip hard to avoid letting out a booming laugh, despite being a Jounin being an Inuzuka made her lose control of her emotions a lot. Sarutobi let out a slight laugh and the Feudal had to cover the lower half of his face with his fan.

"Where did you get that hitai-ate?" Koharu asked.

"Hokage-sama gave me it yesterday and I was officially made a shinobi of Konoha" Naruto said, as he put a finger to his chin. "Though I still have not got the picture to complete my license and I'm not currently registered as shinobi. Anyway, it does not matter now, tomorrow is another day."

"Do not make unnecessary comments Uzumaki simply answer the questions that we asked you" demanded Homura.

"Ok, ok" Naruto agreed in a snide voice. "You shouldn't be mad at me because of the lack of sex Koharu is giving you. I've seen old pictures of Koharu-san and I commend you for getting with a babe like that."

"Uzumaki!" Homura and Koharu yelled strongly.

"What?" Naruto asked nervously pretending he didn't realize what he had just said. "Well I'm sorry, it's just that seeing as I'm a demon and all sometimes I'm unable to keep my thoughts in in my head... and as the saying goes, the truth hurts."

Tsume burst out laughing but an elbow to the side by Hiashi, who had a slight smile on his face, made her shut up.

"Stop Uzumaki, we are not here for your jokes!" Homura shouted, his face red with anger trying very hard to contain his emotions, even though he was failing horribly.

"I'm sorry, it really was not my intention," 'said Naruto with palms held to the front in a placating manner. "Better continue with the questions before the words escape me again... even if it's the truth."

Koharu had Homura grab her arm so she would not do something stupid. Danzo was considering killing the elderly couple because they had just been humiliated by a child no older than twelve.

"You'd better think twice before speaking next time Uzumaki" Koharu said. "I do not want you to be punished and have your status as a Genin revoked for insulting members of the council."

"Does the council even have the ability to do that?" Naruto asked feigning surprise which Koharu simply nodded. "Jiji I can't believe were so desperate to find some council members that you empowered a group of elders of the same age" Naruto looked at a smiling Sarutobi. "Jiji, did you not hear that."

Several snorts of laughter escaped the shinobi upon seeing the faces of outrage from the two advisers to the Hokage. On the stand none of the three men of great political and military power were able to contain the laughter.

"I've never heard that saying before Naruto-kun" Sarutobi replied, who had a smile adorned on his face.

"It's because you spend all day with paperwork or reading that orange book and laughing like a schoolgirl psychopath stalking the girl" said Naruto. "We have fan girls like those at the academy, who are always trying to impress the almighty Uchiha Sasuke."

Now people who weren't laughing at first, were laughing. Even some of the council members could not help but laugh at the Uchiha comment. To Danzo, those were funny comments about Sarutobi and the Uchiha, Hiruzen on the other hand had a tic in his left eye because Naruto had revealed his most sordid pastime.

The Feudal Lord leaned over to speak to Sarutobi. "Hiruzen-kun, I did not know you were a fan of the Icha Icha series that Jiraiya-kun made" said the Daimoyo. "Later Feudal Lord-dono, we can discuss the books as well as call Jiraiya-kun to give him some suggestions I've had in my head for some time."

Jiraiya who was hiding with his Toton no Jutsu, quickly scribbled Naruto's comments to add to one of the characters in his next book. The boy was a gold mine!

'I'll give a percentage of the proceeds to the gaki when the book goes on sale' Jiraiya thought "Even though he doesn't need the money, it's the least I can do for mentioning it."

"Uzumaki, do not push your luck" Homura said reluctantly.

"Are you threatening me?" Naruto asked in a serious tone while looking Homura in the eyes. Those in the room fell silent when they felt the tension between the old man and the blonde.

"It is a warning" Homura said.

"Ahh, then we are just fine roosui-san" the blonde joked, as he pat the old man's arm, which caused a reaction from Homura, from the impact of when he was called senile in front of all present "-that is not like me, because when I threaten, I begin to bite the hands that made the joke. But would not make a joke roosui-san, because you can die of a heart attack from shock and I will be blamed for killing an old man, no matter if he is senile."

Laughter was were heard again in the council chamber and now there were only the few who did not laugh. Ibiki despite his usual demeanor smiled broadly, something people rarely saw him do.

"Let's face it Genma" Ibiki said. "That little gaki has to have some balls to insult Homura like that."

Genma simply nodded and continued to observe what was happening. Usagi, who was standing next to them held out a scorecard and gave Naruto a 9.8 out of 10 for his ballsyness.

"9.8? is very low" Neko added, "I'd give him a 10."

"He's missing just a bit of charisma" Usagi said keeping the sign up.

The laughter continued until Homura lashed out on Naruto.

"Silence!" Homura shouted enraged. "This is not a circus you idiot, this is a meeting of the Council of Konoha and you are joking around! I remind you that Feudal is here and you are there acting like fools!"

Homura's words went in one ear and out the other as the supporters of Sandaime continued laughing until little by little they began to quiet down for the hackling of Homura and Koharu each time they felt ridiculed by the shinobi and especially the blonde who had a smile on his face that went from ear to ear.

"Do not make us call the ANBU to punish you Uzumaki" said Koharu. "Now behave like the shinobi that you are."

Naruto looked at the old woman as if he had done nothing and nodded. When Homura and Koharu looked at Naruto who nodded and coughed some might have heard an uttered "lame dick" between coughs. Homura and Koharu heard the insult but decided not to follow the game and save their anger at the Jinchuriki for after having brought the position of Hokage by Sarutobi to an end and taken control of Konoha.

"He who laughs last laughs best Uzumaki" said Homura. "And don't you forget it."

"That's not true at all," Naruto said shaking his head. "The one who laughs last usually does not get the joke because he or she is simply idiotic."

Surprisingly for board member shinobis, Shibi nodded at the words of Naruto. When looked at questioningly by Shikaku, the Aburame adjusted his sunglasses.

"It actually is a logical statement" informed Shibi, while Shikaku rolled his eyes and muttered 'troublesome'.

"Uzumaki, enough of your stupid comments" muttered Homura. "Please Koharu continue."

Koharu nodded.

"Uzumaki, tell us what has happened during the Scroll Incident" Koharu said.

Naruto decided to start from the beginning. "Well, after failing the academy test, because I was unable to perform the Bunshin no Jutsu, which is a useless technique that only a normal Genin has the ability to use because their chakra levels are far less advanced compared to mine, which in turn makes it easier for them to summon only one rather than to summon hundreds like me. Then I started wandering around the village where I came across Mizuki" answered Naruto. "Mizuki told me that there was a secret Genin exam; which consisted of entering Hokage Mansion and stealing a certain scroll, then the Genin is supposed to learn at least one technique before the meeting time in the nearby forest."

Koharu nodded at this point.

"Why did not you approach another sensei at the academy or ask the Hokage about this test you were given?"

"I had no reason to suspect at the time that Mizuki was lying" Naruto said. "He was a sensei at the Academy after all, so it made sense to obey his orders."

"As you have just confirmed in your discussion with Mizuki," said Koharu- "you stole a dangerous scroll that might have fallen into the hands of Orochimaru."

"An Academy student must follow the orders of his superiors" Naruto said. "Nevertheless at the time I did not know what the scroll contained or that Mizuki was tricking me. I cannot go around questioning my superior's orders," so agreed the other shinobi of equal or higher rank. "Once you receive an order from a superior you must obey."

The shinobi nodded and Koharu knew he should not give more time to the issue, because the blonde was right. He had no way of knowing that Mizuki was a traitor and was simply obeying a superior.

"All right, you did not commit error in obeying your superior" stated Koharu "But how did you get even get into Hokage Mansion?"

"I got to Hokage Mansion and started to watch patrols of the ANBU and after a few minutes I found that there was a span of 37 seconds when a window was not occupied. So I ran to the unoccupied window and luckily I got to the place. Then I began to follow the instructions Mizuki gave me to find the room with the scrolls, but on the way I met Jiji then defeated him with my Kage Killer."

"Are you saying you beat the Hokage," Homura said incredulously. "How could a simple student from the Academy defeat a Kage."

"Just like this" Naruto said making the seal to use the Orioke no Jutsu.

When the smoke cleared the reactions were varied. Some began to bleed from the nose, but may contained or disguised their reactions to seem as if nothing happened. Others simply lost consciousness and most of the women present clenched their fists in aversion to the perverted jutsu.

Sarutobi was holding his nose, despite having seen the same jutsu previously, still suffered its effects. The Feudal Lord and Akira opened their eyes in surprise and began to bleed from the nose after seeing the voluptuous nude blonde.

Jiraiya was a special case. First he almost lost control over his Toton no Jutsu, but could not recover after he pervertedly started laughing and then start writing the descriptions of the blonde to add as a character for his books and made a mental note to demand the fare from conducting the technique when resources were scarce in order to keep on with his research.

Danzo, Homura and Koharu looked at the blonde with no visible reaction, which could mean two things, that they have good control of their emotions or old people are simply apathetic. Apparently it was the latter!

"Uzumaki" Koharu began. "So you are saying that with a henge of a naked woman you beat the Hokage."

"Fits all deviants" said Naruto returning to normal. "It is the nature of man to be perverted, it is something that the academy should teach kunoichis, it would really help them in the future."

"Do not change the subject."

"Then I found the place where the scrolls were hidden and after reviewing the shelves I found the scroll of forbidden seals, not knowing what was in the scroll at that time I simply took it," explained Naruto.

"And the other parchment" Koharu asked.

"When I was about to leave the mansion with the Scroll of Forbidden Seals in hand. I stumbled upon something that caught my attention," Naruto said. "When I came across this scroll I noticed that it had the same insignia that was on some of my clothes that Jiji gave me. When I asked Jiji about the symbol he told me that it represented me and my roots and said nothing more. Assuming that the scroll was for me because of the symbol, I took it with me as well. After securing both scrolls I fled from the mansion and went to where I would meet Mizuki at dawn. I reached the clearing in the forest and opened the Scroll of Forbidden Seals and saw that the first technique was the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. I cursed my bad luck, because the first technique just had to be a Bunshin but I decided to try anyways. Hours later, I had perfected the Kage Bunshin."

"Stop there," said Koharu. "Did you just say you perfected a B range kinjutsu within hours? Some of our finest Jounin couldn't even do that.

"Having the strongest Bijuu encased within me has its benefits," Naruto informed smiling. "One of which is the huge amount of chakra that by my calculations it could be double or triple that of a Kage. Although my chakra control is pretty bad I've been practicing with it. That's why I failed the test at the academy because there they do not teach chakra control to maintain excessive levels. Furthermore the level of chakra or a Academy student is not very high, so you do not need to teach about chakra control beyond the exercise of the leaf on the forehead. If teachers of the academy have taken into consideration and not ignored me as usual, they would have realized that my reserves are enormous and would have helped teach me to control my chakra with exercises like walking up the trees and on water, but I was always ignored."

Before the final point many members of civil advice paled a bit which was not ignored by the shinobi of the room. Sarutobi smiled to see their reactions.

"How do you know about these control exercises?" Koharu asked quietly ignoring the last charge of Naruto, as it is not knowledge for an Academy student.

"Any person who observes their surroundings would know about these exercises" Naruto said. "I simply walk around the training grounds and I could see shinobi walking up and down the trees and on top of water. In addition this information is not restricted and anyone can get a public library book about chakra control. However I have to use a henge just to enter the library, which has expelled me for reasons I didn't even know about, in order to borrow some books" Naruto laughed. "The funny thing about all this is I would greet some of the shinobi who passed near me, but every time I saw an Inuzuka I went the other way because they would not be deceived by a simple henge."

-"Back to what happened that day," Koharu said at which Naruto nodded.

"After perfecting the Kage Bunshin the clones and myself began to argue about whether or not the scroll was for a Genin level shinobi" explained Naruto. "one of the clones assigned to jutsus read the warnings in the scroll and saw that others were also kinjutsus and the clone then confirmed that there was something wrong. After discovering the advantages of Kage Bunshin, that whatever a clone learns the original will too when the clone is dispersed, I decided to leave the place to train with the scroll in order to learn new jutsus. I grabbed both parchments and set off to find a place to train where I will not be found easily. On the way I created a Kage Bunshin that took care to erase the trail I was leaving and other clones that helped me look for a place to train. We searched for hours before we found the forest of death. Because dawn had not broken yet I did not notice the warnings of entering the forest of death and it was close to the reserved section. When I entered the woods and found a place to camp and train, I sent a few clones to look for food, clothing, weapons, medical kits and survival equipment in my house. When I was ready with the camp I started to train with both scrolls.

"Why did not you warn the Hokage where you were?" Homura asked.

"I sent a clone to Jiji's office to tell him that I had both scrolls and it was Mizuki who told me to steal the scroll. I told him that I would train with the scrolls and my clone disappeared before he asked me where I was training because I gave him that order-Naruto smiled, I certainly saw from my clone when Jiji broke the desk in his office then pinned the one-eyed cripple with stick to the wall. I've never laughed so hard.

Homura and Koharu frowned at the insult, Danzo meanwhile, was surprised because he never felt the presence of Kage Bunshin hiding in the office, which he was a concern, because it is not easy for someone to go unnoticed in front of him and much less from that has the Sharingan in his right eye 'Shisui's eye', because since he implanted the Sharingan it has been easier to identify the use of chakra and the presence of a person in one place.

"What did you learn the Forbidden Scroll of Seals?" Koharu asked.

"A shinobi does not reveal his arsenal of jutsus to anyone, Koharu-san" said Naruto. "Only my future Jounin-sensei, the Hokage, and my team will know of it."

"Well, I'm not either and now you're in a Council meeting attended by the Feudal so you are authorized to tell us" Koharu angrily responded.

Naruto sighed and looked briefly at the Sandaime who nodded.

"I learned all the jutsu, Fuuton, Katon and all the other basic elemental they had on the Scroll of Forbidden Seals" stated the young blonde. "I also learned clan jutsus like the Shodaime Hokage's Mokuton jutsus, some of the Yamanaka Clan jutsus, then some Juinjutsu and Fuinjutsu."

Koharu was remarkably surprised. The other people who did not know this information previously also was surprised by the ability to complete various kinjutsus in such a short amount of time.

"What did you learn from your other scroll?" Koharu asked.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot answer that question," said Naruto. "It's a clan secret."

"Clan Secret?" Homura asked in a tone to ridicule Uzumaki Naruto. "You're an orphan."

"I'm only an orphan because my parents were killed the day of the attack of the Kyuubi" informed the blonde. "My mother died in childbirth complexities which they knew would happen to an illness she had and my father died sealing the Kyuubi inside of me."

All who knew not of the inheritance of Naruto looked shocked to blonde's statement.

"What, did they not know?" Naruto asked with noticeable sarcasm then smiled. "It's true ladies and gentlemen. I, Uzumaki Naruto, am the son of Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha and Uzumaki Kushina, the Uzumaki Clan's last member from the Whirlpool Country and refugee in Konoha after the destruction of said Whirlpool Country by Iwa, therefore I am the last member of the Namikaze Clan as well as the Uzumaki Clan!"

The civilian side of the board broke into shouts of complaints against Sandaime for his disrespect to the deceased Yondaime and Kushina's by saying that it was a complete and boldfaced lie.

Homura, Koharu and Danzo looked at the blonde and then look at Sarutobi with a remarkable hatred of Hokage by concealing such important information. Had they known that Jinchuriki was the son of the Yondaime and the Princess of Whirlpool Country, they would have employed the same tactic they occupied with Uchiha Sasuke to control him.

-"Not only the power of the Kyuubi, but also the Hirashin no Jutsu and the rest of the repertoire of the Yondaime as well as the vast knowledge of the Uzumaki Clan in one person"- looking at Naruto Danzo thought -"Sarutobi, you damned wretch, when you stop being Hokage how will you escape my wrath at hiding this information. How was I so stupid to not put the pieces together? The Jinchuriki is a miniature Minato with facial marks and was also given the name Uzumaki. The trails were clear to anyone who wanted to take a second look at Jinchuriki. Surely all of the clan leaders have known this for years. Damn!"- Danzo looked at the parchment in Naruto's back and then the katana the carried -"and my Ne shinobi should have told me something about the katana. Bunch of idiots, it's there clearly, just look and one can recognize the katana Kushina used. In that scroll are the techniques of Uzumaki Clan, Clan Namikaze and Minato's techniques. If I had his power I would be the new God of Shinobi!"-

During and after his speech, Danzo had not considered that Naruto could have learned some techniques from that scroll. A mistake that cost him dearly.

"Hokage-sama!" Shouted one of the civilian board members. "This can no longer go on! The cursed devil cannot come and say that he is the son of the Yondaime and Kushina-sama, it's a lie!"

The cold stare that Sarutobi sent the board member who was stupid enough to insult Naruto in his presence, sent shivers down many civilian council members who managed to see the eyes of the Hokage. Many, especially the one that insulted Naruto, shut up immediately.

Sarutobi stood up and raised his hand. Everyone in the room fell silent to pay attention to the Hokage.

"I want each of you to know that Uzumaki Naruto is the only son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki" Sarutobi said calmly and then looked at each of the board members who had ordered that the young blonde be hurt one way or another. "Minato requested Naruto in his will that his son was treated as a hero for being the true hero that defeated the Kyuubi, but you ... you simply ignored the will of the Yondaime Hokage and did everything possible to hurt his child who is the only thing keeping the Kyuubi locked up!"

The claims of the Sandaime at the end made some of the civilian board members lower their heads in shame. Sarutobi looked around and took a parchment from his coat to give it to Feudal Lord. All supporters of Sandaime knew that the time for action had come.

The Feudal Lord took the scroll in his hands and stood up. Akira also rose from his seat and placed his hand on the sheath of his katana that he had on the left side of his waist. This gesture brought the attention of Danzo, Homura and Koharu.

"Council members of Konoha" said the Feudal Lord. "Do you know what I have in my hands?"

The civilian board members looked at each other confused. Danzo had a hunch that something was wrong.

"A scroll Daimyo-sama" replied Danzo to see that all the others followed in silence.

"Well done, Danzo-san" said the Feudal Lord who threw the parchment to Danzo in an act ever seen from him, at which point the stated, "Danzo-san, open it."

Danzo did not like at all what was happening. Quietly on the outside, but swirling internally, he began to open the scroll and found that it had several labels drawn into. He arched her eyebrow at each seal which had a stamp type of storage. He looked at the Feudal Lord who nodded, giving permission to release whatever containing each stamp. He applied chakra to the first seal and took out some documents by hand, but when he read it his left eye opened wide in surprise and the papers escaped from his hands because he had lost the grip.

"Tell me Danzo-san" stated the Feudal Lord. What could you do with the Sharingan Eye of Uchiha Shisui that's not written on these scrolls?"

The attention of all present focused on Danzo. Some civil council members began to murmur among themselves at the words of Feudal Lord. Homura and Koharu, knowing that Danzo had the Sharingan in his right eye they began to get very nervous.

The Feudal Lord, Akira and Hiruzen simply smiled to see Danzo shocked to see the documents regarding the activities of Ne and some crimes from members of the council. The Feudal Lord raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately, the place was filled with ANBU that stood with a katana at the neck of each of the traitors and corrupt members of the council.

"Daimyo-dono" said Homura trying to stay calm. "What is the meaning of this?"

-"Dare you question the Feudal, Homura?" said Akira stern eyes looking at the old counselor and moving his right hand to the hilt of his katana.

"Akira-kun, it is not necessary," the Daimyo countered. "Homura, Koharu and some honorable members of the civilian council of Konoha" the words of Feudal were loaded with sarcasm, that scroll was all the evidence he needed. "The scroll Hiruzen-kun delivered to me contains the illicit activities that each of you has done since Sarutobi returned to power twelve years ago. Conspiracies against the Hokage and myself. Murder of Konoha shinobi. Release of information to enemies of Konoha and the Fire Country. Attacks on members of the clans of Konoha. Attacks against the heir of the Namikaze and the Uzumaki Clan. Abuse of power. Plans to assassinate the Hokage and every one of the leaders of the clans of Konoha. Cooperation with major criminals in illegal businesses like selling slaves and drug trafficking. Kidnapping of minors in the country of fire and other countries to then be trained in Ne. Exchange of information through treacherous spies in Konoha with Orochimaru of the Sannin. Violation of laws and numerous other scams. The list is so big that we could spend a couple of hours naming each of the crimes."

The traitors began to tremble because of some of the forms that were discovered. Danzo remained calm and stood up, ignoring the katana in his neck.

"Daimyo-dono," Danzo began. "All this information is false, we are being unfairly accused because we are all loyal to Fire Country and Konoha."

"You dare lie to my face Danzo" said the Fuedal Lord in disgust. "We have an eyewitness who saw a meeting between Homura, Koharu and you during one of your conspiracies, that witness is currently present in this room!"

"And who could be that witness" asked Danzo trying to stay calm.

"Uzumaki Naruto" Feudal replied with a smile.

Everyone looked at Naruto who raised his hand.

"And you believe a mere child, Daimyo-dono" Danzo asked.

"Of course," said the Feudal. "After all Naruto-kun was the one who said Mizuki was the mastermind of the theft of parchment, which in turn enabled us to capture Orochimaru's spy Akado Yoroi, who was followed by ANBU members. While other Orochimaru's spies like, Yakushi Kabuto and Tsurugi Misumi were seen talking with several members of the Civilian Council and Ne shinobi. Naruto-kun was also the one who gave us the information on the building; which Ne was operating under. The building where ANBU found much of the evidence presented and had in his basement two tunnels leading to the training complex of Ne and another building belonging to your organization. The same building that was invaded by several teams of ANBU and Jounin" the Feudal look at Sarutobi. "Hiruzen-kun, how did the operation go?"

"It was a complete success Daimyo-dono" Sarutobi replied smiling at the reaction of Danzo and his former advisors. "We have exterminated all shinobi belonging to Ne and the buildings have been secured. While the report does have the particulars from the leaders of the mission I cannot tell you more of what I know now Daimyo-dono, but rest assured that any plans that Ne may have had, have failed."

"You see Danzo, you have failed."

Danzo's face changed from quiet to angry in seconds. All his efforts, all those years of work ruined by these fucking shits. It was the fucking Jinchuriki's and Sarutobi's fault that this was happening. But all was not lost, before his death he would prove to Sarutobi and the Feudal Idiot that he was not trifled with. If he dies so will Hiruzen and that damned Daimyo.

Danzo threw his head backwards hitting the ANBU behind him, who did not expect the attack. Then in one quick motion he uncovered his Sharingan and drew his katana; which he had hidden in his cane. He did not bother with the ANBU who was behind him, because if he did not act quickly he would lose his chance to kill either Sarutobi or the Feudal Lord.

Showing agility unthinkable for an old man who needed a cane to walk, Danzo moved out of the reach of ANBU and was promptly on the podium. The shinobi clan leaders all drew their weapons in an attempt to intercept Danzo before he reached the Feudal Lord after overcoming their surprise. But the sound of a kunai flying through the air followed by a yellow beam that had not been seen for some twelve odd years and even then some had only read about said technique.

There, standing on the podium at the ready, Naruto was waiting with his katana unsheathed to parry Danzo's attack. The old wielder of the Sharingan was surprised as the blond appear in a yellow beam blocking his way to the Feudal Lord which made his blood boil even more, especially the smile that adorned the blonde's face. The emergence of Naruto snapped them out of their stupors as both Sarutobi and Akira set themselves back in order to protect the Feudal Lord.

"Cursed Jinchuriki!" shouted Danzo, as he tried to attack the young Namikaze.

"ANBU! Sarutobi said after a few seconds. "You know the procedure. Remove Danzo and the other traitors; ensure that Danzo survives until I have a chance to take care of him."

After a loud "Hai" by the assembled ANBU, they dispersed about the room inorder to carry out the task at hand. Four ANBU approached an unconscious Danzo, while the medic in the group attempted to closed his wounds a so as not to have him die from blood loss while being transported to the cells where he will be partially healed then secured with seals of all types to prevent any escape along with the captured traitors. The four ANBU disappeared with Danzo via shunshin.

Sarutobi then walked to face the rest of those present.

"Everything that has happened here today is strictly secret. It is forbidden to be disclosed to anyone who was not present at the session until we make an official announcement," said Sarutobi "then we will have a session with the rest of the board to determine when to execute the traitors and gather your opinions on whether or not to disclose the truth of the Uchiha slaughter. We will also discuss when we will reveal the ancestry of Namikaze Naruto. For now, we have to keep referring to him as Uzumaki. We do not want any rumors in the village about an heir to Minato, because they already know him as such. For now though, we can retire.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

He opened his eye to see where he was. He did not know how long he had been there. He really did not know. He had been defeated, despite all his secret preparations for the previous years, he had finally been defeated by his rival, just as Hiruzen defeated him by becoming the Hokage. His dreams of being the most powerful man in the Elemental Nations elementary were now destroyed and he was currently in a cell, a dark cell, his hands and feet were chained and he felt excruciating pain throughout his body. Sarutobi was the better man once again!

Danzo heard footsteps coming from in front of him. He raised his head to see who it was; however, he could only make out the silhouette of this person.

"Have you come to finish me off? At Danzo's question Sarutobi stepped inside, looking forward to it.

Laughter was the only response the Hokage gave the leader of the traitorous Ne. His hour had not yet arrived. Their ordeal would continue.

"I see you are not in a good mood Danzo" Sarutobi said, smiling at the deplorable state of the traitor. "I never expected you to ask for your death after only three days of torture."

"Three days?" Three miserable days and he had already begun begging to be killed? "No doubt I had been tortued for at least a week."

"I'm finished Sarutobi" countered Danzo, who was having a hard time talking.

"It happens Danzo" mused the Sandaime Hokage. "Everyone thinks that just because I am an old man that I'm no longer fit to be Hokage. I'm no longer at my best, but I'm not the Hokage of Konoha for no reason."

Danzo could not help but to smile through the pain.

"Namikaze was the key to your victory; you did not go back to your old self-Danzo said. "If that scroll incident had not occurred he would have never have had the guts to do what he should have done years ago."

"You're right about that Danzo" agreed Hiruzen. "Naruto-kun was the key to your defeat and the end of your plans. We have all belittled Naruto-kun for years. Many have decided to ignore him and not take a second look thinking it is a mere waste, especially my dear ex-consultants and in the end it was the very same as Naruto-kun that caused my ANBU find Orochimaru's spies and their meetings with some of your pawns. It was Naruto-kun who told us about the building location of Ne and how you used your Sharingan to control people."

Danzo smiled again.

"I always knew that Namikaze would play an important role in deciding who was the better man between you and myself Sarutobi" responded Danzo. "Had it not been for your concern for the well-being of the boy and my ambition to make him become one of my Ne members we would have killed him long ago."

Sarutobi nodded but could not see Danzo.

"You got that right," said Sarutobi knowing that he would not have ignored the members of Civilian Council's advice and his own advisers and killed him.

"Homura and Koharu are fools and the rest of the Civilian Council are ridiculously idiotic" sighed the leader of Ne. "The boy will be a force to be feared in the future and it would have been within our best interest to train him and not go against the order. They are a bunch of morons."

'You should have chosen your pawns better Danzo," Sarutobi replied. "They were the ones who ultimately decided your fate

"No need to lecture me, Sarutobi" retorted Danzo. "I know exactly where my mistakes were. Now, I know you didn't come all the way here just to socialize, what you want from me?"

"Of course I did not come here to make a social visit Danzo," Sarutobi said. "I only came because I was told that you were already begging, so I came to inform you that this is still just starting ,so do not give in so quickly. Ibiki-kun and Anko-chan are not very happy that the other traitors pleaded for their deaths."

"I was wondering about them" Danzo sighed

"According to Anko-chan at first it was fun, but then she said that they cried so much that it wasn't funny anymore," said Sarutobi.

"Then I will have to give them a challenge" smiled Danzo weakly.

"I hope so," said Sarutobi looked at the pathetic man in chains, "then we are done here for now Danzo."

Hiruzen began to retreat but Danzo stopped him.

"Sarutobi I hope that you put Konoha on top."

"You do not have to worry about that" Sarutobi said without looking at Danzo and then left the cell.

'Well Danzo," Anko said smiling and taking out a senbon. "It's time to play with the sweet and tender Anko-chan."

"Do your worse?"

"Trust me I will." Anko said taking a finger of the old man and beginning to introduce a senbon below the nail.

Danzo clenched his jaw tightly to avoid a groan escaping him, but his face showed that the pain was great.

Danzo personally confirmed that Anko's reputation was not invented and was of the needed frame of mind to dole out punishment with the most sadistic torture, similar to other members who also worked with Ibiki.

Outside the cell Sarutobi and Jiraiya watched the actions of Anko without showing any reaction to the various tortures.

"I did not expect Danzo to wish you luck" mused Jiraiya.

"I did" answered Sarutobi. "Because despite all the crimes he committed, Danzo was always a patriot and wanted the best for Konoha. The bad side to him was his methods of achieving those goals."

Jiraiya nodded, finding truth in the reasoning of his sensei.

"How goes the search for Orochimaru's research bases?" Hiruzen asked.

"I managed to introduce a spy into each of the bases we know of," Jiraiya answered. "In a few days I hope to provide information and relevant data regarding the layouts of each of the bases."

"Is there a chance of getting caught" Hiruzen asked concerned about the success of the attacks on the Sannin traitor.

"There's always opportunity to discover a spy" continued Jiraiya, "But there is no chance that Orochimaru knows that we are spying on him. None of my spies know who they work for, only what to do and where to send the information."

"Good job Jiraiya" said Sarutobi. "Any info on Tsunade?"

Jiraiya shook his head.

"The last thing I knew was from two weeks ago when she was in Kofu Gai and left heading south" Jiraiya said. "Most likely towards the Land of Tea."

"Tsunade has an old friend there," said Sarutobi - let me know she gets the information. It's time for her to come home."

"You know you will need more than a squad of ANBU to bring her back, 'said Jiraiya.

"I know Sarutobi" said, I just want to know where she is, to keep it under the radar. After the operation against Orochimaru you personally go and bring back."

"Me?" Asked Jiraiya.

"You're the only one who can bring her back," Sarutobi said. The two of you need to stay in Konoha as Sannin as for much as possible. I know you have to keep up your spy network, Tsunade however, has no excuse."

"She will not be easy to convince," Jiraiya said.

"Try to convince her that she is needed in order to create a division of shinobi that are medic-nin," Sarutobi said. Our medic-nin are not many and a lot of shinobi are becoming increasingly interested in learning medical jutsu. If you cannot convince her to return, then you may have to drag her back, as I do not really care if you have to bring back tied and slung over your shoulder. I just want to Tsunade to back here."

Sarutobi gave a last look at Danzo being tortured by Anko who was now placing a few drops of acid in cuts on the palms of the of the old man, who after he felt the first drop cried aloud from the pain produced by the acid burning through skin and muscles leaving a small hole. After smiling at the sadistic and almost childlike attitude of Anko, the Sandaime left the area listening to the cries of Danzo.

Jiraiya kept on looking for a few minutes longer and noticed via his astute female observation skills the seemingly increased libido of Anko. He saw that she was perspiring and watched as a bead of sweat ran between her breasts after beginning its descent. Anko noticed her observer and looked at the Sannin.

"If you keep looking at me like that you will be next" Anko stated with a smile that was half scary, half sexy.

All he could do was nod, because Jiraiya knew that Anko was serious and unconsciously put his hand to his crotch, feeling a pain in the area after remembering when Anko sent one of her snakes to bite his testicles when he was caught by surprise spying at the hot springs in a village in the Land of Wind.

'The feel of the poison burning my testicles is not something I like to experience again' thought Jiraiya as he walked away as quickly as he could past the cells. "Now that I'm sterile."

The Special Jounin smiled when she saw the Sannin hastily fleeing the site and then returned her attention on the treacherous man in front of her. She then took a kunai heated in a flame for a few minutes and began to make cuts on the soles of Danzo's feet causing the old man to let out an agonized cry of the pain.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Naruto opened his eyes and jumped out of the bed. Today was the day he would meet his Sensei and see which Genin team he was assigned to. With a smile on his face he went into the shower and turned the water on as cold as it could possibly get. He gritted his teeth upon receiving a stream of very cold water, but like a good warrior he had to endure it.

After about thirty minutes the blonde came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Nezumi, the Anbu assigned to protect Naruto, could not help but blush at the sight of Naruto, who wore only a towel around his waist and was dripping wet.

'Pretty good for a boy who is only twelve years of age' thought an aroused Nezumi, before she mentally cursed herself for thinking about a little boy like that.

When Nezumi saw Naruto begin to take off the towel she coughed to get his attention and dropped the Genjutsu that she hid under.

"Naruto-san, I better leave the room for a while to give you some needed privacy" the ANBU said. She had long shoulder-length blue hair, was wearing a sleeveless light black vest, a white tank top, a black mini-skirt and had a Ninja bag strapped to her thigh "I will be in the living room."

"No need to leave Nezumi-san I'm probably only twelve; however I bet you would be surprised with what I'm packing" Naruto replied slyly.

"I'm sure you" began Nezumi; however she caught herself before she said anything further, instead of replying she gave him a gentle wave before shutting the door.

Naruto began to dry and then took a scroll; which had clothes labeled on it. The day after the board meeting Neko had been asked to accompany Naruto to buy new clothes because he refused to to wear those ridiculous orange jumpsuits. When teamed with Neko in a store he had bought several pointed pants, sweatshirts, jackets and shoes, all black, navy or white. Neko tried to buy Naruto a pink sleeveless shirt but Naruto refused flatly, he didn't find a pink garment unmanly or anything like that, but the color of the shirt was the same as Sakura's hair and he did not want to walk with something that reminded him of the annoying fan girl.

"Yet I know he was into Sakura at one point, murmured Neko.' But rather than that, Naruto may want Hinata or Ino instead of Sakura as a girlfriend from before, but Hinata is something rare and I'll pass.

Despite so much change in his favor, Naruto still remained ignorant about the opposite sex and still continued his obsession with ramen. It seems that some things never change or at least cannot change overnight.

Naruto sported black pants with a black band folded around his shins, black sandals, a white sleeveless shirt and a black jacket without sleeves. His kunai holder was placed on his right leg and the small bag that many shinobi use was placed not on his lower back, but on the right side. He pulled a book from his bag, he flipped through the leaves a bit till he came to one with a special stamp and after applying some chakra pulled out his katana, which hung on his back after which he then replaced the book. He made a mental note to thank after the old pervert Jiraiya for giving the idea to seal the scroll and the katana into a book. No one would think that two valuable items were sealed in a few pages of an ordinary book. It was also much more convenient to have the scroll sealed into the book, because he didn't had to walk around holding it, though it cost a huge amount of chakra to seal such a large scroll page. He then put on some gloves with the fingers cut out that Kakashi gave him the other day and finally he tied the hitai-ate around his head, where the Konoha symbol was facing in front.

Reviewing his inventory and deeming that he had everything he needed left his room to meet Nezumi in the living room who gave an approving look to the blonde. After a nutritious breakfast, without ramen and a slight conversation with Nezumi, the blonde left the apartment.

He walked quietly to the Academy as he had thirty minutes to get there and the walk itself only took 20 minutes, providing there was no trouble.

While walking the Jinchuriki felt the stares of the people who were in the streets. The shinobi nodded in greeting him and he returned the same gesture, however some of the villagers still looked at him with disdain, although most female adolescents watched him with blushes on their faces.

As Naruto approached the academy he saw Shikamaru walking toward the building with his hands in his pockets, head bowed and eyes closed apparently.

'Is he sleep walking' thought the blonde, as he heard Shikamaru snoring slightly.

A smile appeared on Naruto's face as he walked silently trying his best not to make noise. When he reached the side of the apparently sleeping Nara, he raised his right arm and opened his palm as wide as possible while accumulating some chakra into it. He then dropped his hand firmly onto the back of Shikamaru, sending shadow handler eating dirt and sprawling around eight meters away.

Shikamaru was having what many people would call a shitty day. First his mother, Nara Yoshino, woke him up by throwing a bucket of ice water on him, then she kicked him out the bed. After that she didn't allow him to eat his breakfast until he cleaned up the mess she had made in his room. When she finally allowed him to eat breakfast he figured out that she burnt his bacon and eggs. Finally when he went to get coffee, he realized that his mother only had decaffeinated coffee.

He resigned himself to sitting down to drink decaffeinated coffee and eat bread with burnt eggs and bacon. Then as luck would have it, his cousin of five years ran into the room to escape her mother and struck the table which made the cup of coffee fly right onto his crotch, burning his sensitive area, which meant he had to run to the nearest sink to get ice water. Then he had to take a shower again, since the coffee got through his jeans.

After leaving the shower for the second time that day, he dressed again and entered the dining room to eat something before going to the academy. Unfortunately his mother had other plans, because he was sent to clean up the mess he had created with his cousin and if he did not, she would give him anything to eat. After ten minutes of forced labor, from his point of view, he was ready for breakfast when his mother grabbed him by his hair and dragged him toward the door of the house at which point she then thew him out screaming that he was going to be late for school.

So tired from lack of sleep, not eating breakfast and grumpy for his shitty day, Shikamaru slowly walked to the academy, hoping to pass a place where coffee was sold. On the way to the academy, his eyelids were heavy and his world went black. Luckily most of the Nara clan could put their body on autopilot and relax while doing something else. So when he felt a huge hit in the back, then his face to the ground and dirt was to his mouth, all he could do was spit dirt out of his mouth, look up and whisper.

"Shikamaru muttered "troublesome," watching the clouds moving slowly in the sky.

"Well Shika," Naruto said aloud with more spirit than usual. "What's wrong with you Shikamaru?" Naruto asked seeing the Nara look sad.

Shikamaru sighed and began to tell him what had happened to him this morning. Naruto looked at Shikamaru, who was still lying on the floor with a face full of dirt and could not help laughing out loud at the hassles of the young Nara. Unfortunately his bad luck was not over yet, because Kiba, Chouji and Ino just showed up as the followed to see what the laughter of Naruto was about, as by this time he was laughing so hard he had to hold his stomach.

Kiba seeing Naruto almost out of breath from so much laughter and Shikamaru lying on the floor with a face of annoyance asked what had happened. Shikamaru then told Kiba the same thing that he had told Naruto. Now Kiba, Ino and Naruto could not hold the laughter and Chouji looked at his friend with pity though he allowed an occasional laugh to escape from time to time.

Shikamaru uttered a "Troublesome" and continued looking up, simply thinking 'If I were a cloud I would have no worries. Just float through the air wherever the wind takes you, no annoying mothers, or friend problems, or duties, or responsibilities and never having to get up early... Troublesome indeed.'

"Come on Shikamaru-kun" smirked Naruto. "I'm inviting you to a free double Espresso."

"That's all you say, with no problems in your life," Shikamaru yawned and said "I was falling asleep."

"You're a bum Shika" growled Ino.

"That's not true Ino-chan Shikamaru needs to drink coffee to keep him awake" informed Chouji. "Most members of the Nara Clan need several doses of caffeine a day just to stay awake."

"How come Yoshino-san is not like Shika?" Ino asked.

"Because she is a woman," explained Shikamaru, "and all women are problematic."

"What?" Ino asked, raising her fist angrily until she felt an arm wrap around his waist.

"Come on Ino-chan, leave him alone" Naruto interrupted. "We still have time before class begins, so let's buy them from the cafeteria."

"Hai, Naruto-kun" Ino said cheerfully, blushing because Naruto arm was still around her waist

"Are you okay Ino?" questioned Naruto. "I hope you aren't sick."

Kiba, Chouji and Shikamaru all rolled their eyes in disbelief at how stupid Naruto is when it comes to girls.

"Women are just stupid because they get up too early" sighed Shikamaru, to which both Kiba and Chouji nodded. "Hey Naruto! We'd better get to the cafeteria before we have to inject caffeine into my veins just to keep me awake."

Naruto nodded and removed his arm from the Ino's waist, oblivious to the look of disappointment from Ino who was delayed in following the four Genin to the cafeteria.

Ino saw the four boys disappear when they turned the corner having left her behind.

"Hey wait for me; you just can't leave a lady by herself!"

"Maybe when you see us leaving you should do the same thing" replied Kiba causing Ino to get angry and run faster in order to catch up and give the young Inuzuka a good beating.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The recent graduates of the academy looked forward to hearing Iruka name the Genin teams. The scar faced Chuunin looked out at the collection of new Genins and could not help but smile at the memories of the time when he was in the same room waiting to be told who were to be his teammates and his Jounin sensei. When he looked the last rows of the room he noticed that he was missing some students.

"Does anyone know where the students who have not arrived yet are?" Iruka asked and saw Shino adjust his glasses.

"I saw them enter the cafeteria" answered Shino. "They should be walking through the entryway any minute."

Iruka nodded, not reacting when the room door opened and Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji all entered. Each with a cup of coffee in hand, with the exception of Chouji, who had instead brought a sandwich which was noticeably large.

"It's about time you guys honored us with your presence" Iruka said sarcastically.

"The sarcasm wasn't needed, Iruka-sensei" retorted Naruto. "I invited them to the cafeteria because Shikamaru did get any coffee at home and needed to have some or his body would have shut down."

Iruka nodded, knowing that for the Nara's some caffeine is as vital as oxygen.

"All right, you can go to take their seats," Iruka said smiling faintly, "But try not come so late again."

The five Genin nodded and began walking towards the back of the room. On the way Ino saw Sakura sitting next to Sasuke and sticking out her tongue, probably because she was sitting next to the Uchiha. Ino smiled and as she walked past Sakura she bent down to whisper something in her ear.

"I don't really care about Sasuke-kun" whispered Ino. Anyways, he would never go out with an ugly bitch like you."

Sakura became enraged and she stood up to yell at Ino; however she saw Naruto in the last seat sitting next to Hinata and talking animatedly with the Hyuga. Sakura frowned when she saw this and turned her attention to Naruto. Smiling as she turned around to speak to Iruka and tell him that Naruto should not be here since he failed the Genin Exam.

"Iruka-sensei" Sakura yelled in her shrill voice. "I think there is a student who should not be in here because that particular student did not even graduate."

Iruka looked at the pink haired girl surprised.

"And who would that be?" Iruka asked.

"Naruto-baka" answered Sakura, as she pointed at the sole survivor of the Uzumaki Clan, who was conversing with Hinata.

Iruka nodded and Sakura's smile grew. Sasuke smiled slightly sideways to see if Iruka was going to mess with Sakura by agreeing with her stupid allegation.

"You're right Sakura-chan" Iruka agreed. "Naruto-kun did not graduate because he was not able to pass the examination that we have conducted in recent years."

"Get out of here loser" Sakura mocked while looking at Naruto who did not know what she was so excited about. "If you cannot make a simple Bunshin you have no right to be here."

"Sakura" Iruka said getting the attention of the pink-haired girl. "Young Naruto did not pass the Genin Exam but still was given the rank of Genin by Hokage-sama. As I said Naruto was not able to graduate because he was unable to perform the Bushin technique required to pass exam, not because he is a loser, but because Naruto does not have the chakra control needed to do that particular jutsu."

"Why can't he sensei?" Asked Ami who had nothing against Naruto.

"That's a great question Ami-chan" acknowledged Iruka. "Naruto cannot perform a Bunshin because the technique requires only a little bit of chakra and Naruto probably has the most chakra of any student in the entire academy and maybe even the entire village. According to my estimate he at least has twice the chakra capacity of Hokage-sama."

The Genin all stared at Iruka with looks of surprised, then they looked towards Naruto, then back to Iruka.

"Actually, Iruka-sensei" Naruto interrupted, which got everyone's attention. "According to Jiji, I have four to five times the amount of chakra than he has."

"Thanks for correcting me Naruto-kun" Iruka dryly replied. "As everyone knows three weeks ago someone stole the Scroll of Forbidden Seals. The person who did this was Uzumaki Naruto, who was deceived by the traitor Mizuki into stealing the scroll. Naruto gave the information to Hokage-sama's about the betrayal of Mizuki and Naruto spent two weeks training with the Scroll of Forbidden Seals learning several Kinjutsus from the scroll itself. Hokage-sama gave him the rank Genin for his services to the village by providing information on a traitor and showing the the ability learn dangerous Kinjutsus from ranging in rank from B to S."

All the Genin except Sakura, Sasuke and the others who already knew all this because the blonde had told them, looked with a new awe and respect at the one who was once the dobe of the academy. Naruto smiled and raised his hand.

"That's me!" Naruto said smiling.

Sasuke clenched fists in an attempt to contain his building rage, because the dobe had that power that rightfully belonged to him, as he was an Uchiha and not just a nobody without a name. In his head, he thought that without that power the dobe would never have humiliated him the way he did the other day, which led him to being attacked from behind and taken to jail.

At the time he being taken to jail he was not worried in the least, but as the days went on and that the board had not to push for his release, he began to worry. He was released yesterday and informed that a percentage of his assets as compensation from the Uchiha clan to Naruto and that he was under house arrest for assaulting a shinobi of Konoha. When he objected to the Hokage's decision, he was almost crushed by the ANBU for insulting and threatening the Hokage. He was also told that if he were to repeat his actions, that they would not be so lenient with him the next time.

Sakura was still incredulous of what Iruka said and still did not understand how the council allowed Naruto's promotion. For days she had not seen her uncle who was a member of Civilian Council. She had missed him, first because he used to visit every day because they had no children he treated her almost like his own daughter, and second because she knew that her uncle hated Naruto and always said he should never graduate, but never knew why her uncle hated the blonde.

Sakura was not stupid, despite her obsession with Sasuke; she knew the board were the ones who held the reins in the village

"Iruka-Sensei" Sakura attempted to say.

"Not now Sakura-chan" Iruka said, interrupting her. "There is no time for more questions. Now I want it to be clear that Naruto was promoted by the Hokage, if anyone has any complaints go make an appointment with Sandaime-sama, but I do not recommend you do that because at the moment the Hokage does not want anyone to challenge his decisions and if you plan to argue with him it will be considered insubordination and you can be punished. Now I'm going to begin to name the teams." But before the Iruka could begin, he looked at the raised hand of Akiko Shimada.

The redhead raised his hand and responded with a "Hai" to hearing his name.

"You've been accepted to start your training as a medic-nin Iruka said while Akiko yelled "Yatta" raising his fist. You should be at the Hospital in thirty minutes where you will meet whoever will be training you, just show up and the receptionist there will give you further instructions. You may go."

"Ok, now the Genins will be divided into teams of three led by a Jounin who will be responsible for teaching you from now on until you reach the rank of Chuunin."

When Iruka-sensei announced that the teams had been chosen, Hinata began pressing her index fingers together as her thoughts raced through her head. 'I might be on a team with Naruto-kun. I might not be on a team with Naruto-kun.' Those thoughts kept repeating as the instructor worked his way down the list.

"Team 7's Sensei will be Hatake Kakashi: with the members being Akimichi Chouji, Haruno Sakura, and Aubrame Shino."

Ino looked ecstatic not because she wanted to be on Sasuke's team, but she knew how badly Sakura wanted to be on the Uchiha's team; and smiled once she watched as Sakura's face fell.

"Team 8 will consist of Hyuga Hinata, Nara Shikamaru and Uchiha Sasuke under the command of Yuuhi Kurenai."

Sasuke's expression didn't change, however Shikamaru muttered "Troublesome;" while Sakura glared at Hinata with envious eyes.

"The Tenth and final team will have Inuzuka Kiba, Yamanaka Ino, and Uzumaki Naruto, whose sensei, will be Mitarashi Ano."

"Yes!" Exclaimed an over joyed Ino, as she jumped up in the air. "I'm on Naruto-chan's squad."

"I feel sorry for you Hinata-chan; since you have to be on the almighty Uchiha team" joked Naruto; which caused Hinata to let out a faint chuckle.

"Chouji we are going to have to carry our team since we have that weak fan girl on our team" an upset Shino muttered to his fellow teammate.

"I'm sure she's not as bad you say" mused the Akimichi.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Team 8 your Sensei Yuuhi Kurenai is ready to escort you out the classroom." The lady Iruka called was a tall woman with shoulder-length black hair and red eyes.

'What!' thought Naruto? 'How come the gay Uchiha gets a hot Sensei?'

Ino noticed Naruto staring at Sasuke's team with great interest, "Naruto-kun I bet we are going to be way stronger than their team."

"I agree" complied Naruto. "Sasuke their strongest Genin will be limited with Kurenai-san, as his Sensei."

"Why do you say that?"

"Kurenai-san is a Genjutsu specialist; which something Sasuke excels at since he's an Uchiha and has the Sharingan."

"You're right Naruto-kun, no one is going to be able to beat us" chimed in Kiba.

"Iruka, where in the hell is my damn little fuckers" anounced a female with light brown, pupil-less eyes. Her violet hair is done up in a short, somewhat spiky ponytail. She sported fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs and an orange miniskirt.

"Th-that's them right there Anko-sama" muttered a frightened Iruka.
