Truth and Explanations

 

 

 

 

The academy was a buzz with chatter of Sauske and his hospitalization. All the children, mainly the girls couldn't believe it. Sauske, the god among men was hospitalized, by his brother no less. It was unfathomable. Of all the people in the world why did one god among men have to attack another? Yes the mind of a fan girl was a strange and frightening thing.

 

Iruka entered the room fallowed closely behind by three noobies. The first dressed like a samurai minus the armor, with a blue kimono, white hakama. He had blue hair and blue eyes. His presence was something none of the students had felt inside of the academy. It was most strange. The one behind him was a girl wearing similar clothing only they were all black leather making them all wonder how she wasn't burning up or sweating. The last one in the group was wearing a white trench coat trimmed in yellow (his normal clothing.) All three radiated the similar presence that seemed authoritative, and powerful, certainly nothing one would expect from some simple academy students. It was nothing that impressive mind you, but enough to be seen in the way they held themselves, particularly by Iruka and the other teachers.

 

Shortly after entering the room Sauske came in slowly with an Anbu close behind. When the Anbu entered the room he spoke up talking directly to Iruka. “My orders are to guard the Uchiha until his safety can be confirmed.” Iruka nodded and the class erupted into another burst of chatter. The entire room was abuzz with the rumors and a few frightening stories that Itachi may strike again.

 

“SIT IN YOUR SEATS AND QUITET DOWN OR THE ANBU WILL MAKE YOU!!!” Iruka shouted before clearing his throat and facing the class once again. “Well you all heard Anbu san. He will be joining the class for some time. Now, I know it is late in the year but by the Hokage's orders these three are to join our class. We are first years after all so they should be able to catch up rather quickly. So would you mind introducing yourselves to the class?” Iruka looked to the three new students motioning for them to introduce themselves.

 

“I am Nazomishi Mitsukoi it is good to meet you all.” Nazomishi gave a slight bow trying to be polite. No use making enemies on the first day he figured. On the other hand he did thing this class could be of some use when it came to pulling off a few pranks during their down time. He would defiantly have to get a few tips from Naruto in that regard. Seriously how else were you suppose to maintain your sanity doing what the Zate do for a living?

 

“I am Rei Witok and if anybody looks at Nazo kun the wrong way I will personally shove your head up your own ass.” This earned a really freaked out look from everybody, especially the girls. In the end none of them were really that worried because they were all attracted to `their Sauske kun' but were offended by the insinuation that they wouldn't be undyingly loyal to him. In all reality Rei didn't mean it, she just liked messing with people, a trait she had picked up from Nazo over the past hundred years. Aoshi fallowed suit soon after the class recovered from an awkward moment of silence.

 

“I am Aoshi Shinomori the rest is pointless.” He closed his eyes and maintained his composure when several in the back seats started screaming `what do you mean everything else is pointless. Do you have any manners!' His response was simple. “My manners are reserved for those who have earned my respect…you all… have just lost it.”

 

Sauske's thoughts were simple. `Finally someone who agrees.'

 

Not a moment too soon Iruka jumped in front of Aoshi waving his hands in the air. “Come now, I'm sure you all can get along just nicely. Now everybody try to be nice to them. They have definitely had a rough week.”

 

“Rough week what about our Sauske Kun! His family was murdered by his brother!” Nazomishi smirked at the chance to put a few fan girls in their places with that one. But he decided against it and simply moved to an open seat with a smirk on his face.

 

“Now everybody lets begin with today's lessen on chakra manipulation. As you know we have been learning the primary hand seals and we are now on to the fifth seal. For the three new students I would like you to stay after and learn the previous four. Now this is the ram seal.” Iruka went to the board and proceeded in drawing a large hand in the ram position. The next thing he did was to indicate the chakra flow required to perform the seal.

 

“Now the actual manipulation of your chakra as I have stated before will be left to next year. For now all we expect is for you to properly form the seal.”

 

The explanation went on and on going on into some of the basic jutsu you could perform with this seal. The elements that usually utilize the ram seal and finally started explaining that the chakra required for each seal will vary by the jutsu and is the reason each jutsu requires the description of an entire scroll in many cases to get into the complex intricacies of a jutsu's formation.

 

Needless to say he caught him self rambling and realized he had gone into the third year explanation by accident. He continued all day long simply describing the one seal. Then when it came to the outdoor portion of the day they went outside to begin practicing seal forming. It was all… much harder than Nazomishi had originally anticipated. From his memories of the show it surprised him that Naruto was intelligent enough to understand it. Well, enough to almost pass. Frankly anybody back in his own dimension would have found it on par with quantum physics in the sheer complexity of the concepts. This would be even further confirmed when he began his study on Fuuinjutsu a few weeks later.

 

 

After day one of the academy was over Nazomishi made his way to the Hokage's office to see what he had decided to do with Sauske. In the end Nazomishi had already decided on what he would do if Sarutobi declined. Sure it could get him in deep trouble but he knew something had to be done…and soon.

 

Arriving at the tower and being greeted by the receptionist Nazomishi was quickly admitted into the office where Sarutobi was smoking his pipe and very glad he didn't have to go into the hospital very much. He simply couldn't stand hospitals because of their no smoking policy. The past few days had been exceedingly cumbersome for him because of the unnatural number of trips he had to make to that god forsaken place.

 

“Hello Nazomishi san, have you thought over what you think we should do?” Sarutobi inquired. Over the past day he had given the child's plight a great deal of consideration and had found a degree of interest in these caravan children. Something was defiantly up with them, certainly not sinister, but odd. It was strange the things you could pick up on after the years of experience he had. Sometimes it was difficult to tell specifics but it was quite easy to get a general idea of people, something he had overlooked from being too close to Orochimaru.

 

“I have Hokage sama, my opinion remains firm with what I stated before. I will gladly leave out anything you wish when we explain, that is assuming we do explain things to him.”

 

“Indeed we will. I consulted with the Yamanakas on parts of the matter and have decided to let you explain things. Perhaps he will take things better from someone his own age. With me at the sidelines to confirm the information of course, that should give him plenty of reason to believe everything properly.” Nazomishi nodded, glad the Hokage agreed with him. If there was one thing he had learned in the last dimension it was that manipulation was an essential skill when it came to altering events. Foe and ally alike can throw fate out of balance with too much variance from a set path.

 

“Hokage sama?” A moment of silence had begun with Nazomishi contemplating how well maters were evolving in this world. Sarutobi looked at him inquisitively wondering what hit was he could be thinking about when Nazomishi spoke up again.

 

“Yes Nazomishi what is it?”

 

“I have a request.”

 

“Go ahead.”

 

“We are a few months behind at the academy and I was wondering if you could have a shadow clone help us with our studies. Our seals are way behind and everything just seems far too complicated.”

 

“You want me to take you as apprentices?” `What does he know of shadow clones? Sure I mentioned it the other day but there's no way he could know what those are…could he? An apprenticeship with outsiders wouldn't set too well with the council that's for certain.'

 

“That would be magnificent after today's class I am very excited about becoming a shinobi but feel that it will be difficult to catch up at this rate. Aoshi didn't really show it but he was utterly clueless.” The Hokage chuckled at the boy and how serious they seemed to be. `Well at least he's eager to learn.'

 

“Gladly, anything to help out a new generation, although an apprenticeship would be a little advanced for one your age, perhaps after you graduate. One question though, how did you know a shadow clone could do that?”

 

“You said that you were one the other day… I realize it's a bit of an advanced Jutsu but once we get the basics down better do you think you could teach it to us? It would be very helpful with school.”

 

“I'm not going to teach you such a jutsu just so you can skip school.” It was the same answer he had practiced over and over again. Of all the jutsu he could possibly teach anybody, it was the one students asked for the most, though it was usually the lazy fourth year students looking for a way out of class.

 

“No no no no no no no no no, I mean so I could send some to the library to read up on stuff there while I train. Frankly it would be boring here for someone my age if it went for school. What am I going to do stair at a wall?”

 

“Oh, well anyway it's a forbidden jutsu and you would have to show your worthiness for me to teach it to you. It is a very dangerous jutsu with a major drawback.”

 

“Oh well, at any rate I think you should at least teach Naruto before he graduates.”

 

“And why is that?” This one truly had Sarutobi stumped, sure he could understand a kid asking for a powerful jutsu but asking to teach another student?

 

“Have you taken a look at his chakra levels? I would be surprised if he could pull off any of the academy jutsu by the end. There's just so much of it any level of control over academy level jutsu should be impossible from what I read in the books today.

 

“Shingan?”

 

“Yea, His aura is the largest I've seen and by the looks of it he probably has Jounnin level reserves right now. According to the books, the larger your chakra reserves the harder it is to control jutsu. The way I see it, him learning academy jutsu is going to be like channeling a dam though a creek. Either he learns Jounnin level chakra control or a way to let the dam flow without holding it back.” Well that was certainly surprising most shinobi were hard pressed to understand that concept till they were chuunin. Not that anybody really needed to know. It's not like its exactly normal people to have extreme chakra levels, especially children.

 

“You really have been studying, good for you. Tell you what, I will teach it to both of you in your last year if you help him understand the basics better. Ok?”

 

“Deal.” `Damn, oh well at least it's something. I guess I'll just have to bribe an idiot Jounin. I wonder where I could find Ebisu? He should be easy enough to manipulate. At least Naruto will get it and we won't have to deal with Mizuki's idiocy.'

 

“Now, I believe its time to find Sauske.”

 

“Lets get Naruto too”

 

“Why do you say that?” Sarutobi smiled figuring that Nazomishi anticipated the same thing he did.

 

“If Sauske is going to know Naruto's secret wouldn't it be better for Naruto to have the secret in the first place?”

 

“My sentiments exactly.” Sarutobi walked outside his office and called for two Anbu who showed up with much haste.

 

“I need one of you to escort Naruto Uzumaki and the other to escort Sauske Uchiha to training ground ten. You will then guard the perimeter and protect anything said in our meeting. Everything you see and hear there will be considered an S-class secret. Move out.”

 

They silently left as the old man and Nazomishi slowly made their way to the training ground where Sarutobi quickly placed a sound barrier over the area to ensure everything they said would remain amongst themselves. Both Naruto and Sasuke arrived at about the same time and seemed to have been arguing on the way.

 

“Alright old man what do you what and what are the dobe and the noob doing here.” To say Sasuke was a little ticked off was an understatement, he had been pulled from his personal training and had to tag along with the Dobe for some unknown reason. As far as he knew anything to do with the blond haired idiot couldn't possibly be anything important enough to drag him away from his training. Naruto's obnoxious voice soon rang out above Sasuke's with his own…annoying… question.

 

“Oy Jiji! What's with the Anbu bringing me here, he took me away from my sweet, sweet ramen! Believe it! …huh… hey what's he doing here!” Nazomishi and Sarutobi sighed knowing this was going to be a long, long day.

 

“We are here because what we are going to explain is a secret concerning both of you. Now you are both young and this is not something I would normally trust with anyone but myself but I'm afraid thanks to Nazomishi here I am forced to reveal these to you before we all end up in deep trouble. I am considering everything said here an S class secret, No one here is permitted to tell anyone else got it?” Sarutobi looked around looking for signs of acceptance when Sasuke spoke up in an impartial tone.

 

“What could possibly be so important and need the dobe's knowledge of it.”

 

“Teme!”

 

“Dobe”

 

“Shut up! Now you two are going to listen to Nazomishi explain everything because he is the one who tied everything together and discovered a few things which force your knowledge, so sit down and listen.” They did as they were told as Nazomishi stood, clearing his throat before beginning.”

 

“Ok where to start. Ah there we go. For starters the reason I am here is I have a bloodline permitting me to read minds. Now as both of you know Sauske's family was just murdered by his brother. There are some things you and most of Konoha for that matter are completely clueless about.” Of all the limited number of reactions this could have gotten out of Sasuke he actually managed to raise an eyebrow. That was good at least he was interested. It certainly explained the strange air the kid had around him in class earlier. `Mind reader huh, this should be interesting.'

 

“And what exactly is that?” Sasuke asked, having completed his thoughts of interest.

 

“Itachi's purpose.” Nazomishi stated bluntly, narrowing his eyes for effect.

 

“I know his purpose, he wanted to test his fucking power on me!”

 

“Wrong… that was his cover story. Tell me do you remember another man standing behind Itachi when you saw him. A man with a blazing Sharingan looking in through a window.”

 

“How...how did you know that?” Even Sasuke dident remember till that moment when a momentary flashback revealed the scene to him. It was a frightening moment he wished he would never have to see again.

 

“Mind reader remember? Anyway that man is the real reason that Itachi killed your family.”

 

“Who is he?” Perhaps this meeting was important, if someone else was in league with Itachi he defiantly wanted to kill him too. Though what the dobe had to do with any of this remained to be seen.

 

“Uchiha Madara, we don't know how he is alive but he is very much so. And Naruto since you clearly don't know who he is. Madara is the man who fought the first Hokage when not long after village. They founded this village and Madara betrayed the village when the first gained his title as leader of the village. ”

 

“So Itachi was fallowing his orders, I'll kill them!” Nazomishi shook his finger and his head in sequence drawing a dumbfounded and confused look from Sasuke.

 

“Yes and no. Your family had a secret which you were unaware of. Itachi killed your family to avert a civil war.”

 

“Wha, what are you talking about it was MY FAMILY!”

 

“Your father was leading a rebellion against Konoha. Itachi did not agree with it and alerted the Hokage. Unfortunately the only option was to destroy the clan before the entire village fell into ruins with everybody both Uchiha and otherwise devastated down to the last man. Itachi however was incapable of doing the deed on his own and knew of another who apparently contacted him with a plan to destroy both the Uchihas and Konoha. The man who was betrayed by both and shunned as a traitor.”

 

Their jaws were a gape at the information and the intriguing story. Could Itachi have really done this for peace? They both looked at the Hokage for confirmation only for him to give a nod in response.

 

“As a result they struck a deal, Itachi would join an organization Madara was creating and Madara would get his revenge on the Uchiha clan. In return they would spare Konoha and avert war. Itachi spared only you.” Sauske's eyes widened in horror as he screamed.

 

“Spared me, SPARED ME! That bastard made me suffer for three days in a genjutsu watching my family die over and over and over again! You call that mercy!”

 

“Sit down Sauske and let him finish! There is more.” Sarutobi flared his killer intent forcing Sauske to the ground, shaking him loose from his thoughts.

 

“From what I could tell in your own mind Itachi was getting ready to leave when you showed up. He was shocked when you did and from what he told the Hokage before he left he was truly sorry for what happened next. Madara expected him to end you then and there. Madara made him use that genjutsu on you and watched you suffer the entire time.

 

That is why Itachi told you to hate him. He said those things because he was disgusted with himself for what he had done even if he had no choice. He wants you to hate him now, he wants you to kill him, gain power and defeat Madara.”

 

“He…he… did that for me…” Sauske was in complete and utter shock at the information. For the past few days he had thought of nothing but killing his brother but now that had been completely turned on its head.

 

“Things progressed even further, before meeting up with Madara once again. Itachi went to Sarutobi here and asked him to maintain his secret, and make sure you grew to be powerful enough to kill him. Here is where things get really hairy. Itachi is Sarutobi's spy in Madara's organization. His job from Sarutobi is to protect Naruto from them.”

 

“Me? But why me why would they want me?” Sarutobi then spoke up talking to both of them.

 

“Sauske you should listen to this because Naruto here is one with a past far worse than you could imagine. From the day he was born he has been hated beaten and scorned by the village for something he has no control over. As of yet the beatings he has suffered has recently passed eight hundred.” Sauske's tears stopped instantly at the horrific number as he looked into Saurtobi's eyes frightened that anything that brutal could ever occur, looking into the old man's eyes as if all truth were held within.

 

“Why would anybody want to beat him? Sure he's a dobe but why?” Naruto was wincing in pain remembering all the beatings of the past years.

 

“Naruto I had promised your father that I would protect you and that is something the council has regrettably barred me from doing. I also promised him that I would keep this a secret from you until you were a chuunin so you could grow up with a halfway normal life but I'm afraid the time for this has long passed.”

 

“What are you talking about, you knew my father? I thought I was an orphan from the Kyuubi attack.” Naruto was starting to be angry but was overwhelmed by the will to discover the truth.

 

“You are Naruto, what Sarutobi means is this. You are what is known as a Jinchuuriki, A gate guardian holding back an unspeakable evil capable of destroying our entire world.” Sauske's face went white as a ghost as he realized what Nazomishi meant. There was only one creature in the world with enough power to do such a thing. It didn't take much to draw the conclusion after considering the year they were born in.

 

“The Kyuubi attack is something falsely written down in history books. In reality none of the nine Demon lords can be killed. In fact no demon can be `killed', they will simply go back to hell and break out again to continue their rampage. Lesser demons find it more difficult to enter this realm. So to protect this world your father regrettably used a jutsu calling upon the Shinigami to seal the Kyuubi and its power into your body as a living jail for the creature.” Nazomishi noticed Sauske's utterly pale face as well as Naruto's angered and shocked expression.

 

“Both of you, remember this Naruto's father, the Yondaime was a master of seals and constructed the seal to be the most powerful in existence. Naruto and the Kyuubi are two separate beings, the same as a jail is different from the criminals it holds. As for why your father didn't want you to know of your lineage. He didn't want it to go to your head like the Uchiha's let their eyes go to theirs.” Sauske turned away slightly blushing in embarrassment at the truth in the statement. Well at least enough to bring some color back to his face.

 

“So they want Naruto to free the demon?” It was the only thing Sasuke could come with. There wasn't much else anyone could do with something so powerful.

 

“No, they plan to use the Sharingan's secret power to control the demons to do their bidding. With the power of all Nine bijuu they will have an unstoppable force with their eyes as the leashes. Nine all powerful demons with the obedience of a well trained dog. This is why Sarutobi wanted to tell you both this. Sauske you may have had a horrible experience thanks to your brother and Madara but Naruto has lived every day with beatings and suffering.”

 

“And now I must ask you Sauske, will you fallow the path of your brother and protect this village, will you become the friend, the rival, and the guardian of our real greatest hero?”

 

“You want the stick up his ass Uchiha to be my Friend! Oh come on old man he hates my guts.”

 

“Hey it's not like you could protect yourself dobe.” Sasuke said with a smirk.

 

“Teme!”

 

“You see you are already rivals whether you realize it or not.” Sarutobi said placing his hands in between the brawling boys to keep them from slugging each other out.

 

Things went on and on with questions and explanations all the way till sundown. They certainly had a lot to think about but for Sauske the event had lifted a great weight off his mind. He still wanted to kick his brother's ass for going all emo because of a necessary evil but he no longer held the burden of becoming an avenger.

 

Nazomishi was thinking to himself after the day was complete and he finally met up with his friends at their apartments, which were oddly located, a floor below Naruto's in the same building.

 

“So how did it go?” Rei asked as Nazomishi walked through the door into a room where Rei and Aoshi were studying.

 

“Hook line and sinker. The Uchiha is more weak-minded than I thought. I will have to remedy that but for now it has played well into our plans. I will let things develop a bit more between them before making another move.

 

“So what is out next objective?”

 

“Now we focus on the academy and developing ourselves. Not much significant occurs until our class becomes Genin. So for now we befriend Naruto and Sauske. Sarutobi wants me to assist Naruto with his studies. If I succeed I will obtain a jutsu which will greatly enhance our ability to understand this world and its jutsu.”

 

“Sweet what kind of Jutsu is it, something to read books really fast or something?” Rei stated with enthusiasm hoping she would be able to read more than ever before. She had an undying affection for books of all kinds.

 

“More or less, the Shadow clone jutsu lets you make solid clones. They cost a lot of chakra to make but in the end when they are dispelled anything they learn will return to the user. Great for learning jutsu and practicing form. Imagine learning all the tricks to a jutsu in a few hours instead of a few months, then gaining the training experience of a hundred days in one.”

 

“Damn…” Aoshi was about to sit down and collapsed into the couch after hearing that one.

 

“You can say that again Aoshi.” Rei slapped him on the head and Nazomishi grabbed her other arm beginning to drag her over to the bed where he pulled out their books laying them along the bed. “For now I suggest we get the homework done if we are going to have a chance at passing this year. You coming Aoshi?”

 

“No, we have company.” Nazomishi closed his eyes and concentrated on the persons to evaluate their presence before stating who it was.

 

“…Yes… open the door its Naruto and Sauske.”

 

“Who?”

 

“The boys I told you about.”

 

“I see.” Aoshi smiled and went to open the door. “Come on in you are more than welcome here.” Aoshi greeted them happily and motioned his arm directing them in.

 

“Did you come to study?”

 

“The dobe wanted to know a few things about his heritage, and I have a few questions of my own.” Naruto was instantly fascinated by the decoration of the room. The walls were absolutely covered with weapons of all shapes and sizes, including numerous Katanas and strange variations.

 

“Oh sweet! You have swords, can I have one?” The blond looked on with wide eyes, praying he could possibly have one of the shiny objects.

 

“Sorry Naruto these swords are precious to us, but I would be happy to make you one once I obtain some materials.” Naruto started jumping up and down in excitement at the possibility of having a real sword. As for Sauske he simply looked dumbfounded that some people they had just met would be willing to make them swords.

 

“They won't be cheap will they?” Sauske said skeptically expecting a very high price. Even his brother wouldn't buy him one saying they were too dangerous and expensive. At this thought Naruto hung his head knowing the price would be well out of his range, that and they would probably do like the rest of the shops in Konoha and sell them to him at double the normal price…or worse…

 

“Not to worry Sauske, after all that's happened with you two I would be more than happy to make them for free. Honestly it's a bit of a hobby of mine.”

 

“What is with you, you're no older than us and just met us the other day, why would you do something like this for us. You don't have to pity us!” Nazomishi blinked not sure of how to react to the outburst. After a moment of thought he chuckled a bit and answered the boy.

 

“I assure you it is not pity. You see we have been on the run with the caravan for a long time and all of our old friends have gone their separate ways. You two seem to have more potential as friends and rivals as any I've ever seen. Is it so wrong to be kind to potential friends and allies?” Completely unaware he was interrupting their conversation Naruto spoke up in his usual brash manner.

 

“OH yea Sauske you forgot, the Hokage sent us to tell them about our new teacher!”

 

“New teachers? Intriguing, what did he say.” Rei said from the couch.

 

“Yea after everything that happened earlier he decided to give us some after school training with some Anbu.”

 

“Heh yea, apparently the guy he's getting us is supposed to be good. I don't know why he trusts you so much already but for us to get a privilege like this is unheard of.”

 

“Wow, Nazo you really did a good job talking to him didn't you!” Rei ran over and tackled Nazo to the ground as he tried to struggle free. Sauske shrugged it off and Naruto simply stared wondering why she just tackled him.

 

“Uh Rei could you get off, we kind of have a lot more to discuss.”

 

“Oh sorry, so what is it you wanted to know Naruto?”

 

“Well, I was wondering if you knew more about my dad, Saru Jiji said he could only tell me so much.” Nazomishi looked to the ground knowing he couldn't say too much without blowing his cover.

 

“I'm sorry Naruto but I only know what I was able to read from your mind and Sarutobi's. What I was able to receive from Sarutobi doesn't go far beyond the extreme basics. Although I do know who your godfather is.”

 

“My Godfather? Oh sweet I have a godfather… or… wait, what's a godfather.”

 

“The man who would have taken over as your father had the council not barred Sarutobi from making it official after your father's death.”

 

“Oh come on tell me, tell me, who is it! I cant stand it the suspense is killing me.”

 

“On one condition…” Nazomishi had found the perfect opportunity to eliminate the walking target.

 

“You come with us tomorrow and get some clothes that aren't orange. As a ninja you will be a walking target if you keep that abomination of a piece of clothing.”

 

“But, it's the only thing I can buy, everything else…”

 

“Look dobe if the stores wont sell to you I'll make sure they learn not to anger an Uchiha.” Nazomishi smirked on the inside realizing he had just killed two birds with one stone. These kids were far too weak-minded. It was far too easy when he didn't even need to use any mind tricks. “I will do anything to get you out of that …uuh I don't even know what to call that shit you wear.”

 

“Heh thanks teme.” Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly while thanking the Uchiha.

 

“No problem dobe.” Sweat dropped from both Rei and Aoshi wondering what the hell was with these two. Could they possible become as powerful as Nazomishi said they would? And what was with those nicknames? Looser and bastard were defiantly not your normal nicknames.

 

“Good now that, that is settled what is it you wanted to know Sauske?”

 

“Did the council take these stupid actions with or without knowing of Naruto's lineage.”

 

“I'm afraid I don't have that answer.”

 

“Then what do you know!”

 

“I know what I told you at that training ground today. I'm a mind reader not a prophet. If it makes you feel any better I will take a peak at their minds to find out but right now I know nothing.”

 

“Heh figures, oh well do you know how to use those swords?”

 

“To an extent, I took some family scrolls and am learning them right now.” `Can't let them find out too much.

 

“Good, when you know enough to teach us I want you to.”

 

“And what If I want to keep it a secret?”

 

“Then I will accuse you of cheating on the next test with your mind reading.” Nazomishi smirked. `He may be weak-minded but his intelligence is unquestionable.'

 

“Perhaps one day.”

 

 

 

 

The conversation like the others Nazomishi had been involved in lately drew lengthy and went on for hours. Nazomishi's plans had gone on without a flaw. Or they would have had he not forgotten about a little pact he made with Rei.

 

Later that night after Naruto and Sauske had left Nazomishi was confronted by Rei before he could leave to his own apartment. She came up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder causing him to turn questioning what it was she needed.

 

“Yes?” He was still in a very serious mood from the past few days and little did he know that was the very thing that had him in a deep load of shit.

 

“Nazo, what did I tell you about being serious when you don't need to be?” She had an evil grin on her face as he cracked her knuckles. When Nazomishi completed a full turn he let out an “Oro?” before being punched out the door into the opposing wall imbedding himself in his own door.

 

“Don't let it happen again dear. You know I don't like it when your not yourself.” Rei then smiled and tilted her head before making victory sign with her fingers. This was the fourth time this had happened since she set this rule upon him. It was a rule which he regrettably forgot more often than he wanted to.

 

The next day they would find Naruto what was much to the dismay of Nazomishi a set of clothing eerily similar to Goku's from Dragon ball Z only black and blue like Vegito's. The main difference was a black undershirt instead of an orange one. Nazomishi's eyes were twitching with irony for several hours.

 

 

Chapter notes: This won't happen for another chapter or so but the final time skip for a long time will occur during the academy years. Would try writing some academy years but from the stuff I could come up with for it, it wouldn't be that interesting anyway.
