This is my second story and it came to me when my muse decided to hit me, complete with a rock salt shell and at two feet away. What if Naruto was the son of another Yondaime, this time the Yondaime Kazekage? This Naruto will be smarter, stronger, and more importantly will have a bloodline. He will, like his father, use gold dust. In this story Minato will be his uncle. He is the older brother of Garra, and the younger brother of Temari and Kankuro. He was born one year before Garra, and was living in Konoha with his uncle and aunt when the Kyuubi attacked. Sarutobi sealed it into Naruto while Kushina and Minato were tending to their daughter. When the Yondaime Kazekage hears this he requests that they train Naruto until he is strong enough to last in Suna.

This story may or may not be a harem, which will be decided by you the reader.

Naruto of the Gold Dust

Chapter 1: Enter: Sabaku no Naruto

It was a cold day in Konoha, rain was pouring, and everyone was wishing to stay home. The only ones out were the ones who had to go and attend the Academy. Walking alongside his cousin one Sabaku no Naruto was pondering what could happen today. His cousin, Namikaze Natsume, was hoping that she would be placed on a team with her cousin. The two were often confused for brother and sister, both of them with red hair; the only real difference was Naruto's sea foam green eyes and Natsume's violet eyes. Naruto was known throughout the village as the only user of Gold Dust besides his father, who made sure that Naruto had a decent amount even while in another village.

Natsume was wearing a black trench coat over a black t-shirt with a skeleton hand wrapped around a cross, black Anbu pants with white shinobi sandals around her feet, and reddish-orange fingerless gloves. She had a kunai holster on her right hip.

Naruto was wearing a dark brown trench coat over a light brown shirt with the Suna insignia over his heart and light brown shinobi pants with solid black Shinobi boots and white fingerless gloves. On his side he had a small gourd with seals on the inside holding his gold dust for most of his jutsu.

The two were walking to the Academy in the rain; both wondering what would happen when they got there. Naruto was remembering that lately Mizuki had been staring rather lecherously at Natsume, and it was pissing Naruto, and Kurama, off royally. Naruto had the Kyuubi-no-Kitsune sealed in him, he knew that; hell his little brother had Shukaku sealed into his gut, even had Jiraiya help with sealing. Naruto's mother still died in the incident, and his uncle Yashamaru was dead now as well, died when he fought against a rogue shinobi who wanted to kill the Shukaku host.

Natsume was worried about what Mizuki-sensei would do today; lately he had been helping her whenever he could, even when Naruto expressly told him to back off. The thought made her wonder, would she get on a team with her cousin; would she be separated from the only male who actually treated her like a girl, and not like a precious vase that would crack with the slightest touch. 'I hope Mizuki-sensei can keep his eyes off of me today. That teme thinks he is so smooth, ugh, he makes me sick.'

At the Academy…..

When the two walked into the room they noticed the only other person there was Uchiha "Sasuke," who was actually Uchiha Suki. The two waved to their friend, who waved back before resuming her "brooding" pose for when the clueless people of the village saw "him." The entire village was so sure that "he" was going to "avenge" "his" clan. Like hell she would avenge those stuck up bastards and their complicated bullshit. Suki had long ago agreed that Itachi was a hero, even if no one else believed it. At least she had her friends Naruto and Natsume. She blushed at the thought of Naruto, he was always so quiet and smart and strong and awesome and…. Damn, now she was starting to sound like a fangirl. The only fangirl bit of her was the fact that her clan insignia was a fan. She was a strong and proud kunoichi and she would be damned before she acted like a damn fangirl.

As everyone started to fill up the classroom Mizuki walked into class with the swag of a wannabe (you know the walk.) He took one look around before his eyes settled on the 'gem' of his career, Namikaze Natsume. He was desperate to finally capture her for his master; he was hoping his master would allow him to have first dibs on her. He chuckled lecherously before he felt a terrifying KI. Looking around he noticed that Naruto had saw and heard him. 'So what if he is the son of the Kazekage and nephew of the Hokage, he can't beat a chunin. I'm just that much better than he is.' Mizuki then felt extremely cold and turned around to see nothing, but when he looked up he saw that the roof was covered in gold dust. 'How the hell did all of that gold dust get there, I didn't see it traveling up. Kid must think that a little dust is enough to scare me. Pathetic little brat, I'll kill him first, might even get a bonus from the boss man.' Mizuki then saw a sight that scared him shitless; he saw the aura of the fox surrounding Naruto in an obvious sign of back off. Mizuki then sat down at the desk and noticed that no one else seemed to be affected by the intense and evil aura. Just as he was about to do something about Naruto, Iruka walked in and everyone shut up to wait for the last two members of class.

The sound of running reached the ears of everyone in the class, leading to all the guys, Natsume, and Suki to activate a seal that Naruto made. When the two reached the room and started to screech about who got to sit next to "Sasuke" everyone with the seal just looked at the two and collectively asked "Hm, did you say something?" When the two just looked at "Sasuke" they noticed that "he" (I'm just going to start saying she and Suki.) looked a bit more feminine than before, but before they could voice their thoughts Iruka shouted for the two to shut up and sit down before he automatically failed them.

"Alright, since everyone's finally here, we're gonna begin the genin exams." Iruka said before he started handing out test papers.

When Naruto looked at his paper he noticed an advanced Genjutsu over it. With a chakra pulse strong enough to almost break the Genjutsu hiding Jiraiya on the ceiling he removed the Genjutsu to see the real test. "Iruka-sensei, if you thought that was funny then I'm severely disappointed in you. Mizuki-sensei, if it was you, then pray that you're not the one who gets to handle me in the taijutsu part." Naruto then looked up at Jiraiya and grinned evilly. He then pointed at him discreetly and caused him to fall by covering him with gold dust and increasing the weight of it. He finished the test and handed it to Iruka before walking outside, quickly followed by Natsume and Suki. When he got out they all sat down and started to talk about how they would make the best team, since they had been together since they could walk and talk. When everyone else came out they all stood up and walked over to the taijutsu ring.

"Alright, everyone actually did great on the written portion. Unfortunately for those who wanted that to be a major portion of your exam, it is actually only worth about five-percent of your exam. Now the first two people I want to see in the ring are Mizuki and Namikaze Natsume." Iruka droned out, before he noticed Naruto's almost deadly glare at Mizuki.

Mizuki was going to enjoy this. He started off by rushing at her as soon as the fight started, intending on grabbing her and putting her into one his various "Submission" holds. When he first reached her she punched him right in the cheek and caused him to go flying back a little. When he got back to his feet he rushed at her and slipped into her defense and grabbed her arm before turning as he grabbed her chest and threw her, only for her to reverse it and roundhouse kick him out of the ring before he even realized what happened, when Mizuki got up he was looking into the pissed of eyes of Naruto and Jiraiya of the Sannin.

"Alright, now Sasuke and I are going to step into the ring." Iruka said before he stepped into the ring opposite Suki. She won within two minutes by tricking Iruka into getting close to her before she turned and kicked him out. "Great, now Sabaku no Naruto and Mizuki."

Mizuki was shitting bricks at this point in time. When he stepped into the rings he noticed that the ring was covered in gold dust, before he could even try and back up Naruto was in front of him with a fist ready. Mizuki ate the punch and several more as Naruto used the entire five minute limit to mercilessly beat the chunin. When he finished Mizuki looked like a pile of clothes and blood. Naruto then used some of his limited medical ninjutsu to heal the lecherous man.

As Iruka went through the list everyone did average, except for Sakura. Sakura surprised everyone by beating Mizuki even worse than Naruto did when he grabbed her chest on accident. When the fight was over Sakura stared down at the sad excuse for a shinobi and warned him that if he ever touched her like that again, she would personally send him to hell. When everyone asked her what changed she looked at everyone and gave them the bird before she did the tiger handsign. "Kai!" when the smoke cleared they saw that Sakura had longer hair, a fuller chest, actual muscles, and even had fingerless gloves. "I decided about four years ago, when I learned a secret about someone, that I would hide my true strength from everyone. This is the result of my training." She then noticed all the guys looking at her while drooling, even Jiraiya. Jiraiya quickly stopped however when a fist made of earth fell on his head and sent him crashing to the ground.

Naruto then retreated into his mindscape while he had the chance. 'So, Kurama, you think that you could finally start teaching me about how to control sand like Shukaku did for my otouto?'

'Sure kit, how about tonight during training at home? I'm also gonna tell you a little bit more about your favorite bloodline, the Jiton that made your ancestry so powerful. With this you can control your gold dust, iron sand, quicksilver from Iwa, and even use it to guarantee you will hit a target by controlling your shuriken, kunai, and senbon. I will even allow you to gain access to three bloodlines that you normally wouldn't be able to use, such as Shakuton (scorch release), Enton (blaze release), and, to an extent, Bakuton (explosive release). Most of these you would probably need a very strong fire element; well that's why I'm in here. I'm your personal little furnace for flames. Now I am not about to hand all these over to you, you're just a tad bit too volatile to learn these techniques. Anyway your Jiton is very powerful; most can only control one aspect of it. Your unique ability to use it for more than one purpose means that not many will be able to fight you in a straight up fight. Now I'm going to go to sleep and you will continue to kick ass and take names.'

Naruto sighed, and then saw the transformed Sakura. 'Damn.' He then sighed as he once again hit Jiraiya over the head with a bit of his gold dust this time. He then sighs as Iruka leads the students to the throwing range. When they get there they notice that someone was there already and everyone grinned when they saw that they were being watched by the Hokage.

"Oh, Yondaime-sama, I didn't know you would be here today." Iruka exclaimed upon seeing the legendary shinobi.

"Relax, I decided it was high time I saw the villages up and coming new genin. Don't let my presence change your attitudes, just act normal." Minato said as he watched everyone's reactions. "Also, where is Jiraiya?"

"Covered in gold dust for being a pervert." Naruto replied. "I thought he could use the time it would take him to get it off to cool him down." He then shrugs while Minato sweatdrops at the nonchalant attitude towards the legendary pervert.

"Well, I suppose I should have seen that on coming from a few miles away. Well why don't you start for us Naruto?" Minato calls out for everyone to hear.

"Fine, I guess I will." Naruto sighs as he walks up to the line and grabs some of his own kunai; the difference between normal and his special kunai was that his kunai were made of a heavier metal than everyone else's. When he threw his kunai, he used his Jiton to control where they went, easily scoring perfect bull's eyes. He then used his Jiton to bring his kunai back to him. "How'd I do?"

Iruka marked down his score. "Perfect 10 out of 10. Would you please tell us why you used non-regulation kunai and how you made them return to you?"

"Jiton is my personal Kekkai Genkai; I use kunai with heavier metals so that I can pick up a charge with them easier. I merely used my ability to draw them in to return them to me." Naruto explained to the shock of everyone there. "How did you think I controlled my gold dust?"

"Well, I always just thought it was the fox." Everyone but Minato said. "Hokage-sama, did you know about it?"

"Yeah, it is a bloodline on his father's side." Minato replied, already prepared for the bomb he was about to drop.

"Who is his father, if I may ask?" Iruka asked Minato.

"The Yondaime…. Kazekage." He said to the shock of every single person there who didn't know.

"Dammit, did you have to tell my entire class!? I really didn't want anyone else to know." Naruto exclaimed, breaking his cool exterior for a brief moment. Everyone was looking at him and Natsume.

"So, why does he always come to school with Natsume?" Hinata asks him.

"He is also my nephew; my sister was married to the Kazekage. So he is technically the son and nephew of two of the strongest Yondaime Kages. He also has the Kyuubi-no-Kitsune sealed in him, so he pretty much is both politically and physically untouchable by most. He, however much he wants to deny it, is also the only one who has the ability to use the Hiraishin as well as I can." Minato stated, shocking even Naruto with the last one.

"I thought you were going to teach me the Hiraishin?" Natsume said, sounding disappointed and sad.

"Wouldn't you like to have some help from your cousin while I'm teaching both of you? That is why I am here, to see who will be my personal students. As of tomorrow, Tsunade will be the Hokage. I will be taking on another team this time." Minato revealed, pretty much causing everyone to pass out in surprise.

Two hours later at the target range….

Naruto woke up feeling a weight on his chest and a sudden desire to kill Jiraiya. When he looked down he saw Natsume curled up on his chest with Jiraiya writing something in his notebook. Naruto sighed and nudged his cousin who woke up and looked at him funnily. "Why are you in my bed?" Naruto looked up at her and pointed behind her to Jiraiya, who was too busy writing to run from the evil aura heading right towards him. When he finally looked up he noticed that Natsume was only a few feet away from him with the notebook in her hand and a rasengan in the other, she then added her fire element to the rasengan and torched the book. "Never, ever, ever, EVER, write about me in your porn." She then gave a small smile with an evil aura surrounding her, "Got that Jiraiya-sama?" he quickly nodded and told them that they were all passed and handed them their headbands. Natsume quickly put hers on around her head. Naruto put his on his upper arm and then brought out a book to read while he waited for Natsume to calm down from her happy dance. He pulled out the book…. Death and Chaos: A Personal Account of Ones Struggle by: Hiroshi Taggala. (The only time him or any of my other Ocs will be mentioned is this story is in books or movies. If they show up they won't have any major roles.) After thirty minutes Natsume calmed down and decided that the first thing they were going to do was go get ramen at Ichiraku's Ramen. When they got there the first thing Natsume did was sit in her special seat, with Naruto a step behind her. When Teuchi came out and saw them both he yelled for Ayame. When Ayame came out from the back she had two bowls of ramen which she sat down In front of the two. "I always have a bowl ready after the Academy lets out just for you two." Teuchi said to his two favorite customers.

"Well, that won't be necessary anymore. We finally graduated today. We are finally genin of the strongest village in the Elemental Nations!" Natsume shouted out after she devoured her bowl in less than a minute.

"Manners please." Naruto muttered as he slowly ate his ramen, he really was protective of his ramen and hated when she got excited like that. It was usually around this point when she would try to steal his ramen. Just as predicted she tried to slip it away, only for a hand of gold dust to grab her arm. "You're not stealing my ramen this time cuz." He finished his bowl and paid for both bowls, before walking out and heading towards the sandiest place in the village. As he was heading towards his personal training ground he saw that someone had entered the Forest of Death. 'Idiot. No one except for Anko and me can make it through the forest with those giant damn spiders in there. That reminds me, Anko and I need to go and clear the ones in the section that will be used for the chunin exams next week.' Naruto then hears a scream that sounded oddly like Mizuki coming from the woods. (I remember someone's story mentioning Naruto using the spiders as a training method and thought it would fit. So if you are the one, I'm sorry for not getting permission first.) He then continued to walk down the road, pondering what would happen when he eventually got to see his older sister and brother, as well as his little brother. He had been getting letters from his father telling him that Shukaku had been rather maddening towards Garra, barely ever letting him sleep for fear of the nightmares. He and Kurama would be having a conversation with Shukaku after they met Garra.

Naruto was almost home when he heard a sound he hated more than anything in the world; the sound of a fangirl exclaiming her undying love for whatever unfortunate shinobi she believed loved her. He then saw that it was Ino and she was screaming out how much she loves her "Sasuke-kun" and it was pissing Naruto off. He walked up and looked at her, "Shut up Ino, the person who lives here actually trains and would probably prefer it if you left." Naruto saw the look on Ino's face and cringed a little. "Listen, if you truly love someone, don't just say it; show it. Find someone who can love you as much as you love them, not just whoever you think looks cool. Look at it this way, if you chase after someone who doesn't feel the same, then when they find the one they love and it ain't you, you will be depressed." Naruto then walked away as Ino thought carefully about what he said.

Naruto got home and noticed that everyone was already asleep. He sighed and walked up to his room, completely ignoring the nagging feeling that something interesting was gonna happen when he got there. As he stepped into his room he noticed that his window was slightly open, however he remembered closing it that morning. 'What the hell? The only people who would go through my window are….. Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Anko. Jiraiya wouldn't even try it this soon after an ass-kicking, Kakashi isn't stupid enough to come in this way, and that means Anko was either here earlier or is still here.' "Anko, are you still here?"

Out of one of the shadowy corners Anko comes out with her trademark smirk. "So, you figured that it was me? What took you so long to get home today; did you meet a kunoichi who wanted to see your sword?" She grinned as Naruto slightly blushed, before his usual cold expression showed back up. "Since you have a week before you meet your teammates; you and I are gonna clear some of the spiders from the chunin exams area." She then noticed that he was looking a little depressed, she then remembered that since the Chunin Exams would involve Suna he would probably see his father and siblings for the first time in a long time.

Naruto sighed and leaned into the hug he was receiving from the purple-haired kunoichi that he had befriended. She had found him training in the Forest of Death one day and was wondering what he was thinking.

Flashback

Naruto was walking through the forest and pissing off every giant spider he came across, even the really big ones that the ANBU usually avoided. He quickly found himself surrounded, but before he could be swarmed he was covered in an armor made of his gold dust. Quickly utilizing the moment he had gained he used the gold dust to cover all the spiders near him and crush them under the weight of the heavy metal. Anko was watching from up above, wondering if maybe she should get some ANBU here before the really big spiders found their way to the redhead. When she turned to leave she saw that one was almost there, not thinking her plan completely through she started to throw as many fire style techniques at the arachnid as possible. The spider shrugged them off until a cry of "Sakin no Kushizashi no Kei!" the spider was suddenly impaled by multiple spikes of gold dust. So thus beginning the destruction of the spider's reign of terror over The Forest of Death.

Flashback over

As Naruto started to yawn he walked over to his bed and lay down, within a few moments Anko came and lay down next to him. He wrapped his arms around her as the two slowly drifted off to sleep.

This is the first chapter of my second story. So far the only garaunteed pairing is Naruto/Anko, any others will be decided by you the reader.

Flames will be used to heat up my ramen.
