The Yokuai Prince-Book One: Rebirth

Chapter #2: Reunion

Outer Forest Line

2.1 miles from Konohagakure no Sato

June 25th

08:09 A.M.

A lone figure walked towards Konoha as the forest sprung with life around him, his white, blue tailed, coat trailing behind him, underneath, he wore a light blue shirt underneath a white vest, white-gray cargo pants and black boots with a Kumogakure headband was tied to his arm, showed that he was a shinobi. A soft breeze swept past him and ruffled his long black hair, which he ran a hand down to fix it. As he walked he sensed a far-off KI wave, which he recognized by it's unique anger level. His blue eyes shined as memories filled his mind, making him smile. "They already pissed you off didn't they, Nii-sama?" He spoke in an amused tone.

"Apparently so, Tenkai-kun. You know Naruto-dono's temper, it's easy to inflame and hard to put out." A voice spoke that came from a large beautiful white Zanbatou with black and electric blue lightning designs in his back.

"You're right, Raikou-sama, he's got to work on his temper, otherwise, the enemy will use it to their advantage." The teen, now named Tenkai said. In his mind, a large wolf-like spirit chuckled.

"At any rate, we'll be arriving at Konoha soon. It's imperative that we speak to the Sandaime Hokage and to Jiraya. We need to find Naruto-dono as well." The spirit known as the legendary Kiba no Raikou, a nonbiju entity who is said to hold as much power as the Gobi no Irukauma, spoke in urgency. Tenkai nodded and began to run as fast as he could.

"It"s been three long years, but I'll be seeing you soon, Nii-sama."

Shinobi Academy Training Grounds

Konohagakure no Sato

June 25th

08:15 A.M.

As the class moved to the training field, Naruto walked over to a tree and softly set Amateratsu down and smiled as the kit yawned comfortably and petted her, earning a cute purr. Ignoring looks of jealousy and lust from the other class members, he walked to the arena and crossed his arms in impatience.

"So, when do we get to start the show, huh?" Naruto asked with a cold smirk.

Sasuke smirked back; "Anxious to get your ass kicked, Dobe?"

"I just want to get this over with, that's all. As if I will be beaten by an immature pretty boy with a superiority complex and his pathetic excuse of a partner..." The blond yokuai drawled, earning seething glares from the fangirls and Mizuki.

Sasuke scowled at the insult, while Sakura yelled at him; "Hey, if you are so good, why don't you prove it then! And what's with those ridiculous sunglasses? Why don't you show us your full face rather than hiding it?"

Naruto turned to face her and gave her an icy smile. "I only reveal my true face to those who will soon die and those who I deem worthy of seeing my eyes... You are not one of them, so do not ask again."

Iruka decided that he better start the match right away. "Ok, are you ready?"

Sasuke went into the Intercepting Fist style, which upon seeing this, Naruto humph'ed, making the heir grind his teeth. "Are you serious? Don't you need the Sharingan for that? It's pointless to fight using that style." he said.

"I can beat you anyway, Dobe!" Sasuke yelled, making the blond smirk. Sakura went to the classic academy style. Naruto, on the other hand, lowered himself into a unknown stance. The class wondered what style it was.

"Alright, Naruto, are you ready?" He received a nod in response.

"Sasuke, Sakura, are you ready?" He received a "Yeah!" From the rosette and a "Hn" from the raven haired teen, who then spoke "Before we fight, I want to make a bet."

Naruto merely looked at Iruka, who asked; "What type of bet?" Sasuke looked at Naruto's katanas and smirked. "If I win, which certainly I will, I get the Dobe's blades. I, as an Uchiha, will need them more than him." Naruto scoffed.

"What makes you think for a second that you will get them? I will never relinquish them to you." He said in an emotionless tone.

Sasuke smirked, "Are you afraid of losing? If so, just yield and I'll spare you of the pain."

The blond merely laughed icily; "I'm not afraid, specially to a arrogant prick like you. Fair enough, I accept the bet." He said. Sakuretsu knew that the heir would lose.

"He's too prideful, greedy and rash. He'll lose because he was spoiled far too much. Press the right buttons and you'll see that he'll attack in pure rage, forgetting his cool. Because of that, he's already doomed to fail." The Empress said, smiling at him.

"Thanks, Kaa-san. I won't lose to him." Naruto swore, as Iruka acknowledged the bet. The Chunin nodded before saying; "Ok, start!"

Immediately, Naruto dashed at the two, who weren't the only ones surprised by his insane speed and kicked at the Uchiha, aiming to take him out first. Sasuke barely managed to dodge at the last second, but the blond wasn't done. As soon as he saw that the heir evaded his attack, Naruto took advantage of the his nonexistent guard and smirked.

"Fool... Burakku Naitomeasu Toaraiku. (Black Nightmare Strike)"

Everyone could only see in shock as the blond was moving so fast, that it almost looked as if he was teleporting around the heir with a combination of punches, kicks and palm strikes before sending him upward with a rising roundhouse kick and jumping after him. Sakura could only stare in shock at the blond.

"Shi no Tanabota... (Death Windfall)"

At the apex of the jump, he readied for an ax kick. Had Sasuke not blocked it the raw force of the kick would have cracked him open, but the brunt of the attack sent him straight to Sakura and hadn't she dodged it with a scream from her inner self, she would've been crushed.

"Holy shit! If I hadn't moved..." She could only think as she looked at the crater that the screaming heir formed when he hit the ground with a sickening thud. The fangirls were horrified as Sasuke writhed painfully and struggled to stand. When he finallu managed to stand, he was beyond angry. He glared at the blond, who landed and returned the glare with a face devoid of amusement.

"Is that it? So much for the 'last' Uchiha..." He spoke coldly as the teen ran at him in rage. Sakura shrugged off her shock and rushed at Naruto, who smoothly evaded the duo's blows with his hands in his pockets, which served to further infuriate the Uchiha. When he saw an opening, the blond teen made a sweeping kick that tripped the rosette and made Sasuke dodge by jumping but he was caught off guard when the yokuai rolled foward and caught him with a double kangaroo kick and was sent flying again, breathless.

As he hit the ground with a thud and skidded to a stop, Sasuke stood up and his eyes flashed in burning hatred. As he rushed again at the blond, Sakura stood up and joined in on the assault. Naruto kept dodging the blows as they were nothing. When it began to drag on, Naruto decided to stop playing and retaliated by elbowing the Uchiha in the midsection and kicking him away.

The pinkette gasped when she saw her idol fly away for the third time and forgot that she was fighting. Naruto saw this and growled; "Never take your eyes away from your enemy." before palm-striking her in the gut and slamming her in the ground.

As he stood up, Sasuke growled; 'That nobody! He won't defeat me! I'm a Uchiha, I'll show him the power of the best clan in Konoha!' While releasing a large KI wave and making handseals, he yelled; "Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Immortal Phoenix Fire Technique)" then, taking a deep breath, released more that a dozen fire plumes.

As the flaming attack raced at the blond and rosette, Naruto tck'ed and quickly grabbed Sakura bridal-style and jumped out of the way. When he landed beside Iruka, the yokuai let the rosette down, only to look in dull shock as the flames headed for the same spot where he let Amateratsu down. The kit could only look on pure fright before a shadow swooped her just in time before the tree she was in burst in flames.

Sausage smirked, "So much for your little fur ball." He gloated. Iruka was about to call the match off when a inhuman KI wave from the blond beside him flooded the field. Hiruzen felt it from the Hokage Tower and immediately left for the academy.

Naruto merely looked at the burning tree for what it seemed an eternity with tears running down his face before removing his shades and lowering his head. "How dare you kill my precious kit, you heartless bastard... You shall pay for your arrogance with your life, Uchiha Sasuke..." he spoke in an bone-chilling, emotionless double voice, one which was female. He unsheathed the blood-red dāito and held it in his right hand and rose his head, shocking everyone. His eyes glowed an inhuman shade of red, a golden aura surrounded him and his blond hair became sightly longer. He glared maliciously at the Uchiha, who tembled in pure fear at his gaze.

"Buraddou Kotuei Muramasascreams for retribution. I shall not make him wait..." he trailed off before apperaring in front of the frozen heir in a blink of an eye. "Perish..." But before he could strike down the heir, a black blur appeared out of nowhere and stopped his attack cold with his Zanbatou, creating a deep crater due to the blond's sheer power. The enraged youkai merely looked on icily at heavily strained ice blue orbs.

"Tenkai... "

"Enough Nii-sama! There's no need for bloodshed; Ama's fine, so calm down, please..." the black-haired teen pleaded as he strained to hold back the inhumanly strong attack, and motioned to the kit in his right arm, who yipped to gain his attention. Naruto could only look at her before stopping and and gently picking her from Tenkai, and staring at her. Ama purred as he nuzzled her face and she licked him, calming him down.

"Otouto, what are you doing here? I thought you were with Tsu-baa-san back in Kumo?" He asked as his features returned to normal and placed his sunglasses on.

"Baa-chan sent me here because we found info on "them"." he said.

"I see..." Naruto breathed. When the class saw Tenkai's Kumo armband tied in his sleeve, rumors started to fly as for why a foreign nin was there and why the blond called him 'otouto'. Also, Sasuke glanced at the younger nin and scoffed, forgetting the fact that he nearly died, muttering "Another Dobe..."

Iruka saw that whatever it was, it must be important and spoke. "Why don't we go back inside for the Ninjutsu portion?" The class didn't object, scared at the fact that the youkai nearly killed the Uchiha because of the kit.; "Hey! What about the...?" , Sasuke yelled before he was cut off by Iruka. "Sasuke, you already lost when you used the Hosenka no Jutsu. So the bet is nullified and Naruto will stay with his katanas." He said, amid protests from the fangirls.

"And besides, aren't you ashamed of yourself? You could have killed somebody! Don't you care for the lives of others?" Tenkai argued.

"So what? They would be at fault for being fools and standing in the way." The heir scoffed and explained carelessly.

"You heartless bastard..." The younger teen growled before letting a low curse and walking off with the kit.

Shinobi Academy Classroom no. 305

Konohagakure no Sato

June 25th

09:17 A.M.

Once inside, the class saw that for the last part, the Hokage was there to judge the third portion, which made many of the class nervous. As soon as Hiruzen spotted Naruto, he immediately walked over to him, and pulled him to a corner of the room.

"Naruto, what the hell happened? " He whispered. Naruto looked at the Kage and explained "The Uchiha tried to kill Ama because he was losing a bet to me in a taijutsu match. I was winning and the bastard used a Katon jutsu and tried to waste me, that pink haired girl and my kit. If it wasn't for Otouto, I would have killed him. "

"Otouto?" The blonde pointed at the black haired younger teen playing with Ama by the window.

"Oh, you mean Tenkai-kun. Anyway, what was the bet about?" Naruto pointed at his blades. "I'll explain later."

They walked back to the class as the students stared at them, wondering what they were talking about. As Iruka got their attention, Mizuki explained the concept of the last test, as the students sat in their places.

"This portion of the test comprises of making a successful Kawarimi, Henge and Bunshin. A passing grade by Hokage-sama is required to pass. Ok, class?" He received a chorus of "Hai, Mizuki-sensei!" As a response. "Well, let's begin! Aburame Shino, please step up." Iruka called, as the mentioned student walked up to the podium.

As the test began to drag on, many students managed to pass and receive their headbands, while others failed miserably. When the Uchiha's name was mentioned, Tenkai nudged Naruto awake as the heir made perfect marks on all three tests and received, his graduation headband, earning squeals of 'Sasuke-kun!' from the fangirls. As he walked back to his seat, Sasuke smirked as saying; 'Beat that, Dobe' Naruto just rolled his eyes as his name was called. The blond yokuai passed successfully and received his headband and walked back in his seat, as loud chatter filled the class.

"Hokage-sama, who scored higher in the tests on the entire class?" Inuzuka Kiba asked. Many nodded as they wanted to know.

"Well, for the highest score for Kunoichi section, the student is... Haruno Sakura and for the highest score for Shinobi is... A tie between Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke." This got a reaction in the two students. Naruto merely shrugged but Sasuke's reaction was violent.

"How in hell we got tied? I'm supposed to be first! Not tied with a nobody like him!" He demanded. Naruto just glanced at him.

"Humph, immature brat..." he muttered in a cold tone, getting a rise from the other teen. Before the heir could do something, Hiruzen cleaned his throat.

"Ok students, class is dismissed! Come back tomorrow for the team placement listing." He said as students filed out of the class. Tenkai walked over Naruto and gave him the kit, who jumped to his arms. The blond nuzzled her and stopped, looking intently at Sasuke, who was talking to Mizuki in hush tones. He nudged Tenkai, who nodded in acknowledgment.

Hokage Tower, Hokage's Office

Konohagakure no Sato

June 25th

12:37 P.M.

Three hours later

"Damn, I should've known that Orochimaru would've do something like that. He wanted the position so badly, that he would do anything to become Hokage..." Hiruzen trailed off as the knowledge of the Hebi Sannin's new village and his troubling alliance with Suna.

"Whatever he's doing, he's keeping it tight, Jii-sama. Back in Sector 9, we're trying to figure out what's going on, but we're barely able to find scraps of info. This, along the sudden alliance with Suna gives us a few theories but in what we can agree on is that he will try something in the upcoming Chunin Exams, but we can't confirm anything, not even with Ero-Sennin's spy network." a worried Tenkai said.

"What about "them"? We just got knowledge that the Gobi no Irukauma was captured." Jiraya asked. The younger Kumo nin turned at him.

"We caught that too, but it doesn't make any sense. It's too soon, after the mess they did trying to capture the Yonbi, they should've laid low, like they always do. Something's up. Just before I left, Kyato-hime said that she would be coming as E-sama's representative." He said. That made Naruto smile.

"What about Mizuki? What should we do with him?" Koharu asked. She wasn't surprised about him using the Uchiha' lust for power and for Sasuke's gullibility for actually believing in that man.

Naruto smirked. "I got it covered. He won't get the scroll."

Hokage Tower Archives Vault

Konohagakure no Sato

June 25th

07:00 P.M.

Later that day...

Too easy...

As silently as he could, Sasuke snuck into the Hokage Archives vault and fervently looked for the Forbidden Sealing Scroll. "According to Mizuki-sensei, it's a large scroll. Heh, with this, I'll be stronger that the nobody and him and his 'otouto' will have to surrender their swords to me and I'll be able to kill him once and for all!' He thought greedily as his eyes rested on what could have been the largest scroll he's ever seen. With a triumphant smirk, he immediately lifted it, noting how heavy it was, left the place just as he found it and ran to the roof..

As he jumped from roof to roof towards the forest, Sasuke couldn't help but to notice how easy the entire thing was. Too easy. There were basically no one the hallways when he entered and when he left. Normally, one would be concerned about it, because it was usually followed by a trap, but Sasuke shrugged it off completely due to his hurry. He merely concentrated into meeting up with Mizuki. Little did he know, he was being watched...

Konoha Forest Training Complex

Konohagakure no Sato

June 25th

07:28 P.M.

"Kitsune here, I have the subject in sight." Naruto said into a earpiece. He was in a tree at the mouth of the forest, cloaked by dense tree branches draped over him.'Idiot..Should've checked your surroundings better...'

"This is Emma, situation report." At the other line, Hiruzen, Jiraya, Koharu and Tenkai were monitoring the situation from a secret location within the Tower with the Kage's crystal ball. An ANBU team was awaiting in the forest for the signal the blond yokuai would give, which would be the henged Kage Bunshin detonating and the order to apprehend the traitor.

"Subject Sierra has the package, he's headed northeast towards rendezvous point #16. Will advise, approach Subject Mike with absolute radio silence and minimum chakra expenditure and remain at least 20 yards away from him until the signal. We can't afford to spook them, not when we made it easy for him." He said. Everyone in the ANBU had radios, and clicked them three times in acknowledgment.

"Understood, keep monitoring him, Kitsune." The Kage said.

"Hai, Emma-sama. Kitsune out." Naruto cut off the link and waited until Sasuke passed by him and let a few seconds run by before shrugging off his 'camouflage' and following the heir while keeping his distance.

Hiruzen watched with fascination as the blond followed the heir, using stealth and speed at the same time, whenever another nin would have sacrificed stealth for speed or vice versa. He was specially pleased with how smooth this 'sting-op' was running, and how quickly everything was planned...

Flashback

"... According to what you heard, Sasuke plans to meet up with Mizuki in the forest training area #16, after he steals the scroll, right, Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked as the teen nodded.

"Yeah, but we got to keep a lid on this, otherwise, the civilians and some of the shinobi might conspire with him and make it harder to stop him..." the teen said.

"Alright. Who we can whistle up for this? They have to keep this secret and they have to be trustworthy." Tenkai asked. Koharu smirked.

"I have a few ANBU that can fit into that category..."

As she called them and explained the situation, they were more than pleased to take this chance, specially working with the Yondaime's son..

"Who's going to be the leader?" Naruto asked, before everyone present looked at him, expectantly.

"Why is everyone..? Oh..." He was flabbergasted "B-but, isn't a Jounin best suited for the job? I mean, I'm only a Genin, and I barely have any leading experience..." he stuttered.

Hiruzen smiled, "True, a Jounin is better suited, but you already have the experience to lead a team. And besides, you already can make it to Jounin easily, in fact, technically, as of now, unofficially you are promoted to Jounin rank and assigned as this team's leader. Officially, you'll still be a Genin and will be assigned to a Genin squad."

Naruto looked at him in suprise.. "But Jii-san, how I'll be to be in two teams? What if the Genin team I'm with, is in a mission and the ANBU team comes? What if then?" He asked in worry. It would be hard to juggle between teams.

"This team will trail yours and act as backup, in case something goes out of hand. It's not that hard, is it?" Koharu answered as if were nothing. Naruto crossed his arms, as he thought about it.

"Well, you got a good point there, but... Ok then, I'll do it."

End Flashback

As quickly as they could, they pieced together a plan on how to capture him. They would clear the hallways around the vault, so Sasuke would sneak in, take the fake scroll, and lead them to Mizuki. As for Hiruzen, he couldn't help but to be proud of the blond.

Immediately, Naruto reported; "Kitsune here, Emma-sama, Subject Sierra has arrived in the rendezvous zone and waiting for the transfer with Subject Mike. 'Akai Kaze' is in position, we are ready for the signal."

"Understood, await for Subject Mike to complete the transaction and proceed with caution." Hiruzen said, gaining five clicks in acknowledgment.

"Well, this is going better than I expected. I'm surprised as why the Uchiha hasn't caught on the fact that we're steering him to a trap?" Tenkai said curiously.

"Because, he let his greed and impatience rule over him. If he was smart enough, as he claims anyway, he would had pinned stealing it from the vault and walking in the empty hallways, specially during the night shift change as a bad sign. But he wants to learn what's in the scroll so badly, he will fall for it, even if it too obvious." Jiraya explained.

"Anyway, he-"

"He's here, everyone, hold steady, wait for the transfer." Naruto's voice flooded the radio channel.

"Hai, Kitsune-taichou!" Four voices, one that was a female, answered at once.

They watched as Subject Mike or Mizuki arrived at exactly 07:30 P.M. As he walked to the heir, he asked; "Were you followed?"

"No, I wasn't. Beside there was no one in the hallways that could've seen me." Sasuke said, making the white-haired Chunin worry. He looked around and even tried to feel chakra signatures but couldn't find any.

"Ok, then give me the scroll. I'll open it and-" he was cut off by the heir.

"You will teach me everything in this scroll, right?" He asked in a cold tone.

"Of course, I promised you, didn't I? With this you will be stronger than the demon brat." Naruto narrowed his eyes and could easily feel his team's anger at thet statement.

"That bastard! Who does he think he is, mentioning something like that! Can I beat his ass, Nar-I mean Kitsune-taichou?" The female of the group, 20-year-old Haruno Kyouku or Taka hissed. All the others were muttering agreement over this.

"No, remember our mission, although, beating his ass within one inch from hell isn't a bad idea..." He muttered icily, getting replies of "Fuckin' A!" and "Damned right!"

"What do you mean 'demon brat'?" Sasuke asked, handing the scroll over, not knowing it was a signal. As soon as Mizuki grabbed it and held it, it detonated, surprising the two. Hiruzen's voice called out.

"Go, now!" he didn't had to say more as the team jumped out of their hiding spots and surrounded the two. Sasuke and Mizuki were shocked as the team landed in a circle and even more as they recognized the leader.

"You? But how...?" Sasuke couldn't believe it, the nobody even had a ANBU team in his command!

"You goddamned demon brat! How did you know I was going to steal the Forbidden Sealing Scroll? I made sure no one knew about it!" He screamed.

However, Naruto kept an indifferent attitude as he spoke; "You should've kept your plans in your head and not depending on an child to do them for you. I also believe that speaking about the Kyūbi no Yoko is a S-Ranked secret punishable by death according to Sandaime Hokage-sama, isn't that right Mizuki?" The man seethed at the blond yokuai.

"Shut up, Kyūbi spawn! Why didn't Jiraya-sama kill you soo-" he was stopped cold by a punch in the stomach, courtesy of Zakimotou Ryuske, a gray-haired 19-year-old with a phoenix mask, who couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm sorry, Taichou, but I couldn't stand hearing any more of this shit! This ass should be killed right here and now!" He said as Mizuki doubled over in pain. Naruto merely chuckled as he shook his head. Sasuke could only guess at what.

"No, we'll let the Shinobi Council deal with that matter." He said.

Sasuke was enraged, not only did he was soundly defeated by him, he also the nerve to stop his plan of gaining power! "Power I could've used to kil lItachi and avenge the clan! You..."He raged in his mind as Naruto turned to him. "Taka, can you take care of him? I don't need this heir throwing a temper tantrum in town." he asked, which the pink haired ANBU smiled sadistically behind her mask.

"Hai, Kitsune-taichou." She cooed as she walked towards Sasuke who was backing up in fear. Back in the Tower, Tenkai was rolling on the floor, laughing his ass off as the three older people were watching in sadistic amusement as she casted a Genjutsu which made him scream like a girl before knocking him out cold. Mizuki in the other hand, was knocked out by a neck-chop by Ryuske, who shook his head.

"Nee, Kyou-chan, wasn't that a little too-" he was cut off by a sharp KI wave from the rosette and when she lifted her mask off, she gave him the glare from hell itself.

"How many times did I told you NOT to call me Kyou-chan, Ryuske-baka?" She screeched at him, nearly blowing Naruto's and Sakuretsu's eardrums off.

"Damn, you're as loud as your sister!" He muttered, slightly deaf; "If not, louder thatpink-haired banshee!" Sakuretsu added. The rosette saw that and immediately apologized.

"I'm so sorry, Taichou, but it's this idiot who keeps pissing me off!" She huffed, making said person groan.

"Hey, I'm not an idiot!" Ryuske argued, lifting his mask, letting his hazel eyes glare at her.

"Yes, you are!" Kyouku shot back.

"No, I'm not!" He yelled, stepping closer to her.

"Are too!" She yelled, walking up to him, until their noses were merely inches from each other.

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are-" a voice coolly interrupted their argument.

"If you two are done fighting like an old married couple, can we take these two to the Shinobi Council first? I rather that, than seeing you lovebirds duke it out." 21-year-old Akihiro Daisuke or Hoshi said with a smirk as the two turned to face him and if looks could kill, they would've sent him thru all nine circles of hell and back.

"WE ARE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" They yelled at the same time, while blushing so hard, a tomato would've sued.

"As if. The way you both act, proves it. It's obvious that you two are in..." The last member, 19-year-old Watayoshi Isaka or Ryu spoke until he was cut off by a WE''RE NOT IN LOVE! from the two.

"Alright people, let's go. I don't want to deal with the Uchiha's Asskisser Council for long, so we got to go, now." Naruto said coldly as the team gulped. Isaka and Ryuske picked up the unconscious Chunin and Genin and stood at the ready. As soon as Naruto nodded, they all flickered at the H.T. Office, where the debriefing took place and then, they walked to the Twin Council Chamber

Tri Council Chamber, Hokage Tower

Konohagakure no Sato

June 25th

08:00 P.M.

As soon as they entered, the council members, the civilians of course, glared at the blond, who rolled his eyes behind his shades. The four ANBU team members chuckled as they saw their Taichou's reaction, and the Shinobi and the Clan Council members were looking on in interest as the ANBU team stood in attention with a reprimand from the yokuai.

"How dare you stop Sasuke-kun's plan to gain power! He will need it to-" a council member was cut off by a snort from the blonde.

"To what? Even if he get all the power he wants, it won't be enough for him. Haven't you learned this lesson from Orochimaru and Uchiha Madara? They craved power and sacrificed people for their means. And still, it's not enough, and besides, there's no way in hell, I'm letting that bastard learn my father's jutsus." He hissed, while gaining questioning looks from some of the Tri Council members.

"Your father? You don't have a father, you demon spawn!" Another member cried.

Naruto took off his shades and fixed his gaze on the man who spoke, horrifying the Civilian members to the core and bringing the entire two other councils to their feet in shock. Staring at them, was a chilling replica of Namikaze Minato, whose gold, cat-like eyes were colder that ice.

"Are you sure? Because, I been told that I look a lot like Namikaze Minato, enough to be his son, by both a village that suffered a bloody civil war due to a madman, which I helped stop and another village, in which I was treated like a hero. Funnily, I was told about him being my biological father 8 years ago, after I was nearly beaten to death here, in my own village. It's also ironic that I, the son of the supposedly 'greatest hero' of this village, was treated like the lowest form of scum, even when with his last breath, he pleaded to at least treat me decently. But you threw a dying man's last wish to the trash to appease a powerhungry clan and, to top it off, YOU WANT THAT ARROGANT ASSWIPE TO HAVE ALL OF MY FATHER'S LIFEWORK! You must more than fools if you think for a second that I will let him even touch my birthright! I would rather cut his hands off and feed him to Shinigami-sama's hellhounds than to let him have my inheritance!" he roared, giving most of the Civilian members near-heart attacks.

"Y-you c-can't be Y-Yondaime-sama's s-son! H-he n-never had a..." A Civilian member stuttered in numb shock as Naruto laughed coldly.

"He did. My mother was Uzumaki Kushina, a refugee from the extinct Uzugakure no Sato. She was Dad's fiancée and obviously he kept it secret due to the Third Shinobi World War going on and for fear for retaliation from Iwa. She died from both being weak from childbirth and defending me from Him. As for Dad, he wanted this to be kept secret until I was strong enough, but I'm not going to take any more bullshit due to an idiotic and irrational fear. And, for the record, Atayomi Sakuretsu-sama is innocent due to being controlled by Him as well, after all, he precedes this brat." he said, pointing at the still unconscious Uchiha, shocking them even more.

"B-by w-who?-? W-ho could be..." Yamanaka Inoichi asked, fearing the answer. Naruto merely smirked.

"I already gave you a clue. It's better if you figure it out for yourselves. As for me, I have to be going..." he said, as he turned around and started to walk away. He just made a few steps before...

"Naruto-kun, if it means anything, I would like to apologize. And..." Inuzuka Tsume offered.

He turned with a small twitch in his lips. "It's all right, Tsume-sama. I remember that you were one of the only people who treated me right. You don't have to apologize for anything." He said.

Other Clan heads such as the Nara, Akimichi, and even the Aburame tried to apologize as well. Naruto gave them the same answer. Hyuga Hirashi, however, stood stoic. As for the Civilian and the Shinobi members, even though they tried to do the same as the other clans, Naruto merely scoffed.

"I'll make this clear once and for all... That fateful day, had I not been saved by Jiraya-sama, I would have died. Not only I learned the truth that day, I was also reborn into something else, a new being that has no shred of care or love for this Kami-forsaked place of a village. I may carry the symbol, but I will only fight for those I care, not for you or anyone else..." He said, earning shamed looks from them. He and Tenkai left to the Namikaze Estate with Jiraya in silence.

A few seconds passed and Hiruzen turned to the Tri Council and spoke;

"You better kept this under wraps. If I find out that one of you breathed word of this..." He left the threat hang as it was pointedly directed to the Civil Council, as he and Koharu left with the Akai Kaze team and for the first time, the Tri Council Chamber was silent.

Shinobi Academy Room #305

Konohagakure no Sato

June 26th

08:25 A.M.

The next day...

As they walked towards the academy, Naruto and Tenkai were getting a lot of stares. This, due to the fact the he was a carbon copy of his father and last night's mission, made many stare at him in numb shock as they could've sworn that they saw Namikaze Minato himself. The blond was getting tired of this and quickly picked up his pace, Tenkai following the same.

"I just wish that they would stop doing this! I rather be glared at that being stared like this!" He growled to the younger teen beside him.

"It won't matter, Nii-sama. They'll keep doing it." Tenkai said with a smile.

"So much for support..." He frowned to the teen, who laughed as they entered the loud classroom.

When everyone saw them, the silence that followed was unnerving, specially the stares they were getting from most of the girls. As Naruto sat in his seat, he noticed that Sakura was looking at him intently, as she was trying to figure him out. As for Sasuke, he was giving him the 'I'll kill you, slowly and painfully' look, as he was still sore for what happened last night. As the chatter resumed, girls were gossiping about the Namikaze duo and giggling when Tenkai glanced at them while looking around the classroom. He shook his head as a picture of of a beautiful 14-year-old blonde girl with cat-like sea-blue eyes smiling at him, entered his mind. He groaned as he tried his best not to blush at the image and Raikou was making it worse by laughing at the teen's misfortune.

"Suckstobeyou,Tenkai-kun..." The lightning ookami spirit laughed.

"Ha, ha, ha... Very funny, Raikou-sama, very funny..." The black-haired teen muttered sarcastically.

When Iruka entered the classroom, the chatter grew louder as the teacher arrived to his desk and it got to the point that the Chunin's face went demonic and bellowed; "ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH!" scaring the class minus Naruto and Tenaki and silencing it.

Getting the desired effect, he smiled and said "Thank you. Now, Hokage-sama will give you a congratulatory speech and after that, I will list the teams and the assigned instructors." He said, getting groans from the class.

When the Hokage arrived, he gave his speech and went on to the team assignments.

"Team 1 is..." And as the listings went on, many grumbed in disappointment as Naruto wasn't mentioned on their teams. As Hiruzen passed Team 6, the blond yokuai knew that he was going to be mentioned.

"Team 7 will be Uchiha Sasuke," Many fangirls cried bloody murder for not having him; "Haruno Sakura, " the pinkette was quiet, which was odd, considering that she was in the same team as her 'crush' and should had been gloating, instead, she was focused on the blond; "and Uzumaki Naruto. Your sensei will be Hatake Kakashi." This drew shocked looks as well as disappointed groans. As for the newly-christen team, Naruto merely shrugged as he leaned back with Ama on his chest, Sasuke was stoic, but obviously angry and Sakura just laid her head in her arms while staring ar both of them.

As the other teams were formed and the Jounin arrived to pick up their teams, a few were disappointed at not having the blonde with them. As the classroom emptied, the members of Team 7 plus Tenkai were still waiting for the man. An hour went by as Naruto was reading from a leatherback journal from Minato and let out a sigh when he set the book down.

Sakura noticed this: "Hey, I heard that you stopped Mizuku from trying to steal the secret scroll, is that right?" She asked, making the blond glance at her.

"You must have heard from Kyouku. I'm guessing that she told you about it, huh? Damn... you two can be loud when you have to be, you know that? She almost blew my ears off arguing with Ryuske about calling her 'Kyou-chan'..." He muttered as the rosette remembered the conversation she had with Kyouku from last night.

Flashback

"Hey Kyou-nee-san, where were you, how come you're late? Sakura asked as Kyouku entered their house, took of her mask and ploped down in the couch with a sigh.

"I was on a emergency mission, Saku-chan, I didn't meant to worry you." the woman apologized as the teen went to heat dinner for her.

"Can you tell me what it was about or...?" She asked, hoping to know how it went. She always liked her sister's stories. Ever since their father died 8 years ago and her mother had abandoned them, Kyouku had worked hard to give her little sister a home and when Sakura said that she wanted to become a kunoichi, the elder rosette was more than happy and she encouraged her to attend the academy and to be the best.

Unfortunately, Sakura tried to fit in by chasing after the Uchiha and started to lose meaning to what being a kunoichi was. 'She wants to impress that little prick so much, she'll forget she has a life to live.' Kyouku would think sadly as she watched her sister slim down by excessive dieting, skip her training, wearing too much makeup and dressing in tight dresses that were inappropriate to fight with. She tried to talk her out of it, but she would refuse to let him go. She hoped that Sakura wouldn't learn too late that appearances aren't what they seem...

"It's all right, I can talk about it. But first, is dinner ready, I'm starving!" Kyouku said as Sakura gave her a full plate of white rice with curry on the side and steamed vegetables and sat beside her.

"Ikadatimatsu!" Kyouku said and picked her food. As she took her first bite, she nodded. "This is delicious! You have outdone me in cooking, Saku-chan!" She smiled, gaining a giggle from the younger rosette.

"Thanks! Now, can you tell me? I want everything: beginning, middle, end, details, facts, summaries, condense- " she said rapidly, making the elder laugh.

"Ok, ok, jeez... Anyway, I was called by Koharu-baa-san because, a certain person needed to put together a team for an special operation." She said, while Sakura stared at her awestruck.

"Who was it? Why did they need you for? How did-" she was cut off by a chuckle.

"Don't interrupt, otherwise, I won't tell! Ok?"

"Ok..." A dejected sigh.

"Good, now where was I...? Oh! Well, I was called for..." As Kyouku told the younger rosette the first stage of the sting-op, obviously leaving Naruto's name out, Sakura was amazed at whoever this 'Kitsune' was, making a team from the best ANBU, even choosing her sister, it was... Just amazing... And then; "When Subject Sierra showed up with the Forbidden Sealling Scroll, we identified him as..." she trailed off, making Sakura tense.

"Who was it?" She asked, Kyouku sighed.

"... It was Uchiha Sasuke..." Sakura was shellshocked. "Sasuke-kun would never... W-why would he..." She stammered.

"Because, he was angry that Uzumaki Naruto beat him and wanted to learn everything in the scroll, things that are forbidden for a reason and Subject Alpha or Mizuki, used that lust for power to use the Uchiha into doing this... I'm sorry, Saku-chan..." She said, shaking her head sadly.

"...how did you stop them?" Sakura asked, numb about her idol's true face.

"The scroll that he carried was a fake. That's because Na-I mean, Kitsune-taichou switched the scroll with a henged Kage Bunshin." Kyouku said, inwardly relieved that she quickly covered her mistake. Sakura, however caught it.

"Who was the leader, because you almost said a name. " She said in a inquisitive tone as the pink-haired woman nervously laughed.

"W-what m-makes you think that I was about to say something like that...?" She responded with a nervous smile, Sakura's disbelieving face was all she needed before caving in.

"Alright, but you got to promise me to keep it a secret, Ok?"

"Ok, I promise. So, who is it?"

When she told her who was it and gave her the whole story, obviously leaving the Kyūbi details out, Sakura was blown away, literally. When she finished, Kyouku, placed her empty plate in the sink and turned to her.

"I'm sorry you had to find out like this, but I told you to watch for for wrong appearances." Sakura looked down.

"To think I liked that... And after he tried to kill me today..." She said, making the woman bolt to her in horror.

"What.. What did he tried to do?" Kyouku asked in anger.

Sakura eplained what happened in the academy earlier and to say that Kyouku was angry was an understatement...

"But, Naruto saved me and... He was right... You were right... I should've used my time to train, but no more. I'm not chasing that bastard, anymore!"

End Flashback

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. About yesterday, you were right, I probably should've trained rather to obsess about Sasuke, if I had, maybe I would had stood a better chance against you. And I also wanted to thank you, for saving me. I was a fool for not seeing beyond the outside" she let an embarrassed blush color her face as she referenced to what he did the day before. She was floored when she heard the heir say that he didn't care for anyone in the way of fire and thought it was a remark. But, after last night and a lot of thinking and convincing from her sister, she vowed to stop chasing him.

The blond yokuai nodded in acknowledgment before picking up the journal and restarting to read. A few minutes passed, until it got the point that Sasuke stood up and began to rant;

"Where the hell is that man! He's supposed to be here a couple of hours ago! If i-"

"Will you stop it already? No one wants to hear a whiny bitch complain, Ok?" Tenkai said, making the Uchiha glare at him.

"You! Why is a foreign nin here? Are you here to spy on us? You should've been thrown out of this village a long time ago!" He said as the teen scoffed.

"I'm visiting my older brother, and I'm also on a courier mission from Raikage-sama, and besides, I'm in a higher rank that you, so I were you, I would watch my tongue. I don't have to answer to a baby who rants and cries when his candy gets taken away." He said, angering Sasuke and confusing Sakura. 'Whatdidhemeantby'higherrank',ishe...'She thought as Sasuke looked ready for a fight. But before the raven-haired heir tried to do something, a man with unusually angled spiky silver hair, a blue mask over his face and his headband draped over his left eye, entered the room and after glancing the three Genin and after almost getting a mental shutdown at seeing the blond and spotting the Kumo Jounin leaning by the window, he said;

"My first impression is, you might be likable. Meet me in the roof in 5 minutes." He, then disappeared in a poof of smoke and leaves, leaving two of the room's occupants with raised eyebrows and the rest, startled.

The two brothers merely glanced each other before disappearing in twin lightning flickers. A surprised rosette shook of her surprise and walked to the exit with a pissed off heir to the roof.

When they arrived, they saw Naruto leaning against the railing with Ama in his arms, as the kit slept peacefully. Tenkai was reading from the same leatherback journal that the blonde was reading earlier and laughing about something. Kakashi, on the other hand, was reading from an all-too familiar orange book, one that never failed to anger Sakura.

"Ok, now that were all here, why don't we start with introductions, like name, likes, dislikes, dreams for the future and hobbies? I'll go first. My name is Hatake Kakashi. As you can see, I like reading," 'Like reading that porn shit ,you perverted bastard!'Sakura thought as he continued; " and my friends. My dislikes are annoying people, supremacists, rapists, lowlifes and know-it-alls. I have no dreams for the future, and my hobbies are training, reading and living life. Your turn, Sakura."

The rosette nodded. " My name is Haruno Sakura. I likes are my older sister, Kyouku, dango, medicine and my friends. My dislikes are jerks, perverts, assholes who think they deserve anything in a silver platter and rapists. My dream is to become a medic-nin like my sister and Tsunade-sama. My hobbies are cooking, hanging out with my sister and reading medical books."

Kakashi was frankly surprised, she was different that the one he saw before; 'She isn't fawning over the Uchiha, or she mentioned him in her intro... She must have had a change of heart, I wouldn't blame her for almost being killed by him or to had been told that he helped a traitor.' He thought as Sasuke looked on to the rosette in hardly contained surprise. 'Why didn't she squeal my name out or proclaim her love for me?' He thought in shock.

"Your turn, Uchiha." Kakashi said, snapping the heir of his thoughts. Sasuke scowled; "My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I like nothing and dislike everything." 'Well, that's obvious, being an emo-avenger...' Kakashi thought. " And I don't have a dream but an ambition. I want to kill a certain man." That made Tenkai laugh.

"How is this funny to you, spy?" Sasuke screamed.

"Because of how ridiculous that sounded! You, killing a man that wiped out his clan in one night? It's like saying you had wings and could fly!" He said, amid shallow breaths.

"Why you-" he started before Kakashi cut him off.

"Alright, it's Naruto's turn. Please be quiet, Sasuke." The one-eyed man said, ignoring a death glare from the avenger and looking at the blond, who was still leaning in the rail with his kit.

"Well... My name is Uzumaki Naruto. My likes are Kaa-san;" the two teens rose an eyebrow in confusion; "Otouto," Tenkai smiled. "Amateratsu," the kit awoke as she heard her name and purred lovingly in his arms. "Ero-Sennin," a man could be heard yelling; 'DON'T CALL ME THAT!' followed by screams of agony of said man. "Tsu-baa-san, Kyato-Nee, Jirabi-Nii, my adopted family in Konoha, the friends I made in the last 8 years, reading, music, and ramen. My dislikes are hypocrites, assholes, perverts, elitists, rapists and people who insult on my family's memories and name. My ambitions for the future are to kill the two traitors who stole members from my closest family, raising my kit and to restore a ravaged land and its people to its former glory. My hobbies are training, playing the guitar and the violin, making new jutsu, busting Ero-Sennin, finishing my father's work, cooking, gardening and staying with my family, whenever I can." He said, drawing a pleased look from Kakashi, who wiped a tear from his eye.

Sakura was surprised at the blond's intro, 'That was impressive, but what did he meant by 'restoring a ravaged land to its former glory'

As for Sasuke, he scoffed while muttering; "He's just a pansy, nothing more" ; but he couldn't help but to wonder about one part of his introduction. 'Two traitors? Was he talking about Itachi...?'Naruto chose to ignore that, so did Tenkai and Kakashi. As for Sakura, she just shook her head.

"Now that the intros are out of the way, let's talk about the survival test" Kakashi said, surprising two but making the third rise an eyebrow in question.

"What do you mean a 'survival test', Hatake?" .

"One of Hokage-sama's special tests, specially given out to the graduation class to weed out to weak and to leave the strong. Didn't Iruka mention it, Uchiha?" He responded to the disrespecting teen, who scoffed.

"I don't remember Iruka-sensei telling us about this test." Sakura said.

"Wekll, he probably had a reason... Anyway, this test was designed as such, so it has a fail rate of 33%. Meaning that once either one of you fails, he or she will be sent back to the academy for another year." He finished in a low tone.

"Another year..." Sasuke and Sakura muttered in shock.

Kakashi said; "Yes, another year. The test will be tomorrow at 07:00 A.M. in Training Field #7. And, don't eat breakfast, you'll throw up." He concluded, before disappearing in a Shunshin.

As a few seconds passed, then Tenkai turned to Naruto and asked; "Want to get some ramen?"

"Sure, but you're paying." He said, getting a childish groan from the younger teen.

"Aw, come on!"

"Hey, I paid last time, so it's only fair." The elder said, gaining a defeated "alright..." from the Jounin and leaving..

As for Sakura, she shrugged as she left to look for her sister, leaving an angry and bitter heir behind. 'You'll see... I will restore my clan and Iwill have the pleasure of taking your power away from you and throwing you out this village ,like the nobodies you are..."
