"Hn! Hmp! Gah!" Someone was yelling while punching a tree.

"Y'know punching a tree like that isn't going to help you much, right?" A familiar voice said. The boy looked over to see the familiar sight of Naruto.

"What do you want dobe?" Sasuke asked.

"I was just finishing up my run. I was wondering if you seen a Genin with really bushy eyebrows." Naruto asked.

Sasuke looked at Naruto, trying to make sense of what he heard. "No. No one comes over here. It's why I train here. Why do you need him?" Sasuke curiously asked.

Naruto started scratching the back of his head and smiles. "Well, he kind of beat me bad yesterday but apparently he knows this after image technique I wanted to learn."

"H-he beat you?" Sasuke astonishingly asked.

"Yeah, with nothing but Taijutsu." Naruto said.

'Nothing but taijutsu?! Naruto is one of the strongest kids in the class and he lost. Dammit! Now I need to surpass Naruto and this bushy eyebrow genin.' "That's interesting to hear. Say Naruto, would you... would you sp-spar with me?" Sasuke asked. He hated to ask anyone of anything but even more so the blonde boy. However, he knew he needed to get Naruto to help him with that seal in the Uchiha Library.

"Did I hear you right? You, the noble last Uchiha, asking me, a no clan loser, to spar? Well, that is something. However, I have to decline your offer because I'm doing some intense training later with a really powerful shinobi." Naruto said.

"What?! What kind of powerful shinobi?" Sasuke angrily questioned. 'What strong shinobi would what to train him over me?' Sasuke had thought to himself.

"Oh, just some old geezer named Jiraiya." Naruto answered.

"You mean Jiraiya of the Sannin? He's going to train you? What for?" Sasuke asked. 'What on earth is going on right now? Why would one of the legendary three want to train him?!' Sasuke thought.

"Oh, well he just wants to make everything better between me and him, y'know? I found out who my parents were and he had connections, deep connections with them and didn't do a damn thing for me." Naruto furthered explained.

Sasuke heard how Naruto's tone changed to that of hatred. "What do you mean you found out who your parents was?" Sasuke asked perplexed.

"Yeah, I guess I lied when I said I was a clanless loser. You see my mother was Kushina Uzumaki of the Uzumaki clan. A clan that was wiped out in the Third Great War by Three Great Nations. They were feared for their Sealing prowess. So Kumo, Iwa, and Kiri wiped my clan completely out." Naruto said.

'He's from a clan so powerful that three of the five great nations wiped them out?! There's no way his clan could've been that strong!' "Wait. How come I never heard of this clan?" Sasuke asked.

"Well, Konoha has erased most of what you can find on them. I'm not sure why. I'll have to ask the Hokage about it." Naruto said.

'Why would Konoha do something like that?' "Well who was your father then?" Sasuke asked.

"Well First let me ask you this. How many people in the Leaf Village have blonde hair and blue eyes?" Naruto asked.

"Hmm, well there's that annoying blonde from our class's clan. Now that I think about it wasn't the Fourt-" Sasuke stopped speaking when Naruto smirked. "N-no way! Y-y-yo-you're the son of the Fourth Hokage!?" Sasuke asked shockingly.
