Just for the record, I don't own any of this story or Naruto. I give all the credit to freowin. I will not repeat that I DO NOT own anything about this story. If you want to read his story go to fanfitction.net and search Naruto The Toad Sages Apprentice. Naruto isn't placed on team 7, instead he is taken as Jiraiya's Apprentice. How will life change for Naruto as he and the Toad Sage take his training seriously?

Maybe it was because Naruto didn't and did know. He wasn't sure anymore, it all seemed blurred as figures of colors dance across his vision. Maybe it was because of the silver haired man. That he came back and much stronger at that. That he sat in front of the 4th Hokage and came to terms that it would never be a father and son relationship. That he came to the funeral and shedded no tears as they carefully lowered the red hair disgrace. That he saw family in the once screaming girl-no women and the avenger who only seemed to be getting worse. That he kept on living because...who would have known what happened if it played out differently?

Naruto ends up on team ten instead of team 7. watch as new bonds are formed Ino will she like being paired with a lazy genus and the dead last. Naruto will he survive being a pared with a fan girl and someone who can even both to say a wake Shikamaru can something motivate him
