My own spin on the book called "The Thruth Is Revealed" Naruto the loud, energetic, idiotic, deadlast, right? WRONG Naruto the silent, shy, smart and protoge of the Uzumaki AND Namikaze family? Yes. He has had to hide himself under a mask. If anyone saw who he really was they would call him weak and hurt him more. However his masks drop's as soon as he leaves the village with the other team's for a joint training session. The Kanoha 12 are Sixteen and older. Naruto and Hinata are sixteen. Sasuke, Kiba, Lee, Ino, Sakura, Shino, Shikamaru and Choji are seventeen Neiji and Tenten are eighteen.
