Back by simi-popular demand
I recently noticed a comment to the fanfiction i put before. Bu i thought no one was reading them so I've stopped posting them but now i know i have some fans. I now present Chpter 2!

Chapter 2
Symbols:
(A/N :…….) = authors note. The author will be giving his own opinion.

“Let me ask you again who are you working for and why are you here” asked a blond woman, who appeared to be in her 20’s and now is the current hokage of Konoha named Tsunade. On one side of her was Kakashi and on the other side was another Jounin but a female with black hair and red eye’s known a Kurenai. When Tsunade did not receive her answer she nodded at Kurenai, who performed a few hand seals and the captured ninja began to howl in pain.
Kakashi knew that Kurenai was great at genjutsu illusions and making them feel real. But what he wanted to know was what she was making him see and feel. He leaned over to Tsunade and asked “Hokage-sama what is she making him see?”
Tsunade smirked and said “He’s experiencing a very slow and a very painful death of him and all of his comrades.” Hearing this made Kakashi cringe a little. “Alright Kurenai that’s enough for now” and she stopped the illusion. “Now will you cooperate with us” asked Tsunade again but received no answer from the now heavily breathing ninja. “Fine have it your way. Kurenai” she said to the Jounin and the Jounin began her illusions once more.
Several minutes later, while still in the confines of the genjutsu the mysterious ninja said through the pain “I’ll talk! Just make it stop!” Tsunade nodded at Kurenai who stopped the illusion. “I’m a member of the Akatsuki group, one of our leaders is a man named Itachi Uchiha. I was sent to gather information if I could on his brother Sasuke and the demon fox child.”
All of the ninjas from Konoha had shocked expressions on there faces at the information the just received. Tsunade was the only one who spoke and the words she said were “Kakashi, Kurenai gather your students and if you see the other Jounin instructors of 10 and 12 (A/N: is that the one Lee is in?), tell them to come as well. Our little Naruto will have to finally let his friends know his and the adults of Konoha secret, the secret of the demon fox” and those words may change the future of those 12 kids lives.

Else where in Konoha cell 7 was in there usual training spot waiting for there teacher Kakashi when Naruto said “he’s late again.”(A/N: He has very good reasons)
Sakura replied with “actually he has about 20 more minutes before the usual time he gets here”
They continued to wait until Guy’s cell approached and Guy asked “how’s my greatest rival’s team doing? Enjoying your youth” he finished and did his signature thumbs up and his pinging white teeth (A/N: How do the get there teeth to do that? I want mine like that.)
Sakura was approached by a boy who looked like a miniature Guy named Rock Lee, but every one just calls him Lee, who asked her “Hey Sakura would you like to go out with me on a date” and took a pose similar to his teacher/idol.
Sakura replied “no way your eyebrows freak me out.” This obviously shattered the boy’s heart until next time.
“Hey Naruto you look well. I’m still looking forward to our rematch” said a boy with long hair and white eyes like Hinata named Neji Hyuga.
Naruto replied with a grin on his face “good luck. Only next time I’ll beat you faster.”
Tenten, the third member of Guy’s cell giggled at the thought of how much Neji has changed since he lost the fight to Naruto during the chunin exams. She then thought “maybe he needed to take a beating more often. Which she giggled to even more.
At what he just heard from the genins Guy was stuck with an idea. “Why waste your youth and try to do something later when you can do it now? You can have your little sparring match right here and now! I’ll judge and make sure it doesn’t go to far” Both Naruto and Neji nodded there head in agreement. “Then begin!”
Naruto’s opening move was him throwing a kunai at Neji. Neji just smirked at the simple and easily deflectable move Naruto just used. “You should have learned during the chunin exams that won’t work” he said before doing one of the Hyuga style move called Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin which was used to deflect projectile weapons. “Told yo-” Neji attempted to say when he was caught with a fist to the face from Naruto, which sent him sliding a couple of feet. While whipping a little blood from his mouth Neji said “So you figured that while I’m in mid spin I wouldn’t notice you sneaking up on me. Very clever. I won’t make the same mistake twice.” Once he finished he activated his family’s signature trait the byakugan, which gave him a 360 degrees view around himself. But a smirk of victory turned to shock as he saw that hidden in the area was a least 10 Naruto clones.
“So you’ve finally noticed the clones’ Naruto said right before he and his clones let go a barrage of kunai and shurekein to Neji.
Neji saw that he had no other choice but to use his deflective move again but this time as soon as he finished he had to use the most devastating move in the gentle fist arsenal called the 128 heavenly palms to combat the 10 clones who were just as strong and stubborn as the original Naruto. But even though this move was powerful he wasn’t dealing out much damage because the move was originally designed to fight one on one not ten, so instead of one getting the full 128 hits they only got at least 12. “Dang if this keeps up I won’t be able to win’ thought Neji. Suddenly Neji was struck with an idea. He used his Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin but this time he used it offensively to blow away the clones. All his hard work drained a little of the clones chakra but due to them being actually living they had there own separate chakra that they got from Naruto so it didn’t help much. He used this window of opportunity to charge at Naruto and gave him a palm to the chest and drained some of his chakra.
Naruto knew that now that he had to fight Neji at close range and he would need as much chakra as possible so he dissipated the clones. Naruto quickly went after Neji who was tired from his battle against the 10 Naruto’s and gave him a swift kick to the stomach. Neji was going down or so it looked when he grabbed his leg to drain his chakra more then hit him with the 128 heavenly palms move and sent Naruto flying across the field with his chakra completely neutralized. Naruto tried to get back up but collapsed.
“Well the winner is-huh what” Guy stopped mid sentence before declaring Neji the winner because some how Naruto was getting back up.
“H-how” Neji wondered as he watched Naruto rise with his chakra level full, actually greater and still rising. But this chakra was different compared to the standard Naruto type but it was the same as the kind that he felt right before he lost during the exams. Not only was his chakra different so was his face. His eyes had the look of animals. Neji had no other choice he had to finish this fight here and now or things may get out of hand, he charged at Naruto to deliver his master strike that he used to defeat his cousin Hinata. But Naruto was charging to but with more power and speed that it left a trench in his wake.
Neji knew that these final moves would decide who the victor of this match. Neji watched as they drew closer and closer. They were no more than 5ft from each other, about to land there final blows when out of the blue they were stopped. It was Kakashi. “Yo, great match guys but I’m going to have to stop you for a bit.” He explained to the boys.
“Kakashi how could you stop a match just as my youthful student was about to defeat yours and break the rivalry between us” Guy shouted to Kakashi.
“You’re only half right. My student was going to win. You see my student has a special and devastating technique, that he was about to use on your student. Which reminds me we’ll be talking about that later, just as soon as Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura get to the Hokage’s office. Your team is welcome to come too.” After saying this he was gone.
Neji had noticed the slight change in Naruto’s eyes and facial expression after Naruto had risen, which was the same look he saw during the chunin exams. But now Naruto was back to normal. Neji wondered what just happened, then he remembered Kakashi’s words and said “I guess we shouldn’t keep Hokage-sama waiting” and with that the 7 of them headed to Tsunade’s office. But what they didn’t know that Sasuke was watching closely with his sharingan eyes activated ever since the fight began so he could study Naruto and Neji’s moves. He too had also noticed the change in Naruto during the last portion of the fight. He remembered that he also saw this change during the chunin exams. Now he was growing more and more curious of.

Else where Hinata and her team were having there own little training session. Hinata who increased her skills at the gentle fist style of fighting that objects she tried it on were reduced to ruble. But those things never moved so now she was taking part in the 3 way battle with her teammates which may seem unfair because Shino had his families ability to manipulate beetles by will and Kiba whose families dogs were trained to fight along side there owners and were also skilled at ninjutsu. But she had her own families skill, the byakugan which made it hard to sneak up on her and also it gave her the exact locations of vital points on the body this made her a very formidable foe. They were right in the middle of there fight and sweating when they were visited by Kurenai whose there Jounin instructor. “That will be enough practice for now. We need to report to Hokage-sama office” she told her students who agreed and they set off toward the tower.

“Were finally here! I wonder what old lady Hokage want” Naruto said which earned him odd looks.
“Naruto you know I support you youths expressiveness but why did you call our Hokage old” asked Guy in a freaked out yet relaxed tone.
“Oh you guys didn’t know she’s our first Hokage’s granddaughter which makes her 50 even though she looks like she’s in her 20’s” Naruto explained which caused everyone to gain a shocked look.
When the other 2 teams arrived they were trying to figure why everyone was looking so shocked. Shikamaru was the only one who said something and he asked “what’s up with everyone.
Tenten responded by barely saying “We just found out that Hokage is actually 50” this caused everyone who just arrived to become shocked as well.
Naruto noticed there was something wrong with the picture. He pointed to Ino’s and Shikamaru’s direction and said “hey something weird is going on. Usually at the first site of Sasuke Ino would have grabbed onto him for dear life. But now she’s doing it to Shikamaru.”
Ino blushed and giggled a bit before she said “well it happened yesterday after Sasuke made me cry and I ran home. I’ll let Shikamaru explain the rest.”
Shikamaru just scratched his head and said “Well like she said it happened yesterday. On her way home she passed by me and I noticed that she was crying, so I followed her home to see what’s wrong. When I got to her house I comforted her and got her to stop crying. Then I kind of told her how I felt about her and we became a couple.” Once he finished he was squeezed by Ino which everyone got confused by but realized they’d have to get use to it at some point.
At the mention of yesterday Naruto finally remembered what happened between him and Hinata yesterday (A/N: Biggest idiot ever) “Um Hinata I need to talk to you in private” he said as he pulled Hinata to another corridor of the Hokage’s tower.
Kiba asked “okay does any one know what that was about” But everyone just shrugged except for Ino and Shikamaru, who had a pretty good idea what it was. “Well anyone know why we’re here?”
Neji replied “I think it’s about some special skill Naruto has that-”
“Um Hinata I was wondering about that kiss yesterday. Was it a thank you for dinner kiss or an I really like you kiss’ asked Naruto. But Hinata didn’t give him an answer. She just averted her gaze to prepare for the possible heart break. “I’m sorry” he said. Hinata had now shut her eyes which were beginning to fill with tears. “I’m sorry that I didn’t realize it sooner” the boy said before placing a kiss on her cheek.
Hinata’s face turned bright red and her once tears of sorrow were now tears of joy as she jumped at Naruto hugging him. “I love you Naruto” she said.
Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata and replied “I love you too Hinata.”
“I’d hate to break up a lovely moment. But Naruto the Hokage request that you come see her” said and ANBU ninja who just came upon the hugging pair, who were now separated and red faced. They then followed the ninja to where everyone else was but Naruto continued into the office where Tsunade awaited him.
While outside Chouji asked the Jounin instructors among them, while eating a bag of chips “do you Jounin even know why were here?” They all just shook there heads.
A now agitated Sasuke shouted “then why are we here? I could be off training some where.” Shortly after the ANBU ninja told them to enter.
Upon entering they saw Tsunade sitting at her desk with Kakashi and a rather large white haired man named Jarayai, who is one of the 3 senin of Konoha and Naruto standing in front of the desk with his head down. Tsunade said to the crowd “please take your seats. I’m pretty sure you’re wondering why you’re here and that is-” she was interrupted by Naruto.
“I just want to say one thing. Once you find out please don’t hate me” said the boy looking toward his peers, especially Hinata with a sad expression on his face.
“Okay the reason why I have brought you here is we need to speak about something our fourth Hokage did. I’m sure you all know the story all know the story of the demon fox” everyone nodded. “Well you only know half of the story. Your only know up to the part of the sealing. You don’t know where or what the fox was sealed in. The fox was sealed within an infant, who became hated because the fox was within him, he didn’t even learn about this until some time ago.”
She was then interrupted by Sakura who asked “then who’s the kid. He should be about our age and attended the academy the same time as us.
Tsunade then said while walking over to Naruto “I was just about to tell you that. That kid is our little Naruto here.”
“That obscured I think we, his close friends would have found out by now or he could have told us. Our parents could have told us by now. So do you have any proof about that” Tenten said questionably to Tsunade.
Tsunade replied “you see a law was passed over Konoha that we could never tell Naruto or the children of Konoha so he could live a normal life, but that failed. An academy instructor named Mizuki told Naruto what was inside of him and the seal slightly cracked so Naruto is now able to tap into the power of the fox. The proof I have is on Naruto. Naruto would you mind lifting your shirt and gather some chakra?” Naruto just did as he was told.
Everyone just watched as Naruto gathered his chakra and watched as some kind of tattoo appeared on his stomach. “Tha-that’s the foxes seal” said Shikamaru in a shocked tone. “I did some studying on sealing techniques and what the seals looked like. That one is the one that was used to seal the fox. You can tell because those swirls coming out of it represents one of each of the fox’s nine tails.
The continued to watch as he gathered more chakra and it began to show it’s self outside and gather above his body. The watched as the chakra began to take the shape of a face, an animal’s face, a fox’s face, the face of the demon fox. They also noticed that before the foxes face appeared Naruto’s face changed to, his eye pupils narrowed like an animals. Sakura asked “Naruto is it true are you really the embodiment of the demon fox?” He gave his answer as a nod. “And just how long have you Jounin knew about this”
Tsunade answered for them and said ‘They’ve known ever since the sealing. Like I said we were sworn to secrecy. Besides the adults you 12 children are the only others who know. But the question is now that you know how will you treat Naruto?”
Lee spoke for everyone when he said “Why should we treat him any different? He’s our friend! Plus it’s not like he’s a different person. We just know more about him now. If the fox was really out of control I don’t think any of us would be here right now.”
Tsunade smiled and said “just what I wanted to hear. Naruto you can now take a seat amongst your peers”
He walked over and took a seat next to his teammates. Once he arrived he was poked in the back by someone. When he turned around to see who it was he saw Hinata’s smiling face who whispered to him “I don’t care.” Naruto face reddened and turned around with a big smirk across his face.
Tsunade was now once again sitting behind her desk and said “Now the second reason I’ve brought you here is about the intruder cell 7 caught was a member of the Akatsuki. There a group of runaway ninjas who have banned together to conquer all of the villages. Also to do it they want to get there hands on the demon fox’s power which means they’ll want Naruto.” The last sentence scared the genins at the thought of losing there friend. “One of there leaders is a man named Itachi Uchiha.
Ino asked “I thought Sasuke was the only Uchiha left? Sasuke why didn’t you tell us you have a brother?”
Sasuke replied “because I swore if I ever did see him again I’d kill him because he is the one who killed my entire clan.” The sharp cold words Sasuke just said sent a shiver up the spines of everyone in the room.
Tsunade cleared her throat and said “thank you Sasuke for that bit of your family’s history. Now like I was saying the Akatsuki are a very dangerous group so we’ll be increasing security around the village and missions outside of the village will be reserved for those of a great enough rank. Lastly since there targeting Naruto and maybe even Sasuke I will be changing your trainers, but you’ll still be in the same cells that you’re currently in; you’ll just be training under separate coaches. Starting with Kakashi’s team. Sasuke you will continue your personal training with Kakashi. Sakura due to your great chakra control I want you to train under Kurenai and to strengthen your body I want you to also workout under the supervision of Guy. Lastly Naruto you will continue you training with Jarayai” she finished when Neji made an out burst.
“Naruto you’ve been training under Jarayai who is currently one of the three senin of our village” he asked.
“It’s not really that big of a deal” Naruto replied relaxed.
Tsunade regained the floor and said “Neji don’t worry you’ll get a very good trainer too. Now Asuma’s team. Shikamaru you are very talented in most arts so you’re getting a medium level training program, so you will be paired up with Kakashi. Ino you will be training alongside Sakura with Guy and Kurenai. Chouji you lack a lot of skill so you will train under Guy. Now Kurenai’s team. Kiba you are a very talented student and your tag team style with Akamaru makes you a force to be reckoned with. But you can’t always count on Akamaru so you’ll train with Kakashi. Shino you are a well rounded student with your control over a destruction beetle squad and your battle tactics. So to increase your tactiton skills I want you to train under Asuma. Asuma I don’t want you to baby your students either. Finally Hinata you will not be training under any of the Jounin teachers. I’m aware that you’ve increased your fighting skills sense the previous exams. I also know of your great skills at making medicine so I want you to train to become a great medical ninja and be able to cure any injury. You’ll be training with the best in Konoha which is me. Finally Guy’s team. Lee I know you have basically no chakra so to change your trainer wouldn’t do much so you’ll continue on training with Guy. Tenten you’ve only been training with ninja tools thus far so I want you to train under Kurenai so you can train your weaponry skills with genjutsu. Last but not least Neji. I said I’d give you a good trainer too so I want you to train along side Naruto with Jarayai. Now that you all know your trainers we will meet at the training grounds tomorrow at 8 a.m. sharp. This now concludes our meeting” she said and the time of the meeting scared a couple of students because they never woke up that early.
Outside everyone parted there separate ways except for Ino and Tenten who dragged along Neji and Shikamaru against there will to do some shopping. Naruto and Hinata decided to just take a simple walk.
