Chapter 3

"So... what did you actually call us for Naruto?" Shikamaru the ever clever genius asked having figured out there was a reason behind being invited.

Before he had followed Naruto to his former home in the red light district. He had seen the poor living conditions of Naruto's former apartment. He saw how poor Naruto was. He knew how hated he was. That was why he tried to friend the blonde now multi-hair colored teen.

Not because of pity. No. Because the blonde was a puzzle to him. How did he remain so cheerful and not end up like Sasuke? How was he so kind and helpful? Well that and he seemed like a good friend.

"Hmm... well I guess since I heard what you said in that BBQ place showed me who my true friends are I decided to share with you guys some things if you promise not to share it with anyone else." Naruto said. He didn't have to worry about others over hearing since he had a silence barrier around his apartment up just in case.

The 5 boys and dog soon agreed not to share that stuff with anyone without Naruto's permission.

"Ok. First and foremost get the big ones out. My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Senju Uchiha. My father is Minato Namikaze Senju and my mother is Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha. I have the nine tailed fox sealed in my stomach in this seal. I understand if you don't want to be my friends. Just don't say anything or you will be executed." Naruto said closing his eyes only to feel 5 people hugging him and one dog on his head.

"Heh. You think that will stop us from being your friend? Ha. We're better then that Naruto. We figured out about the Kyuubi a while ago. Shino figured it out because his bugs and clan archives. Shikamaru is Shika. Choji just didn't care right now if you have a beast in you because he just cares that your kind. I figured it out after asking my mother why you smelled like foxes a year back. She told me. Plus our clan isn't liked by the civilians anyway because our clans sometime weirdness of mating with dogs." Kiba said and Akamaru barked in agreement with everyone nodding.

"Oh. Well. Anyway it all started after the graduation exam and I failed. Afterwards Mizuki arrived and me being sad took the chance when he told me there was a graduate and I did it without any hesitation. He told me to steal the forbidden scroll and meet him in the forest." Naruto then went on to explain everything that had happened to him till this point while leaving out more completely personal stuff.

"Wow. That's insane dude!" Kiba said and Akamaru barked in agreement. "Yep. At least now I have a proper trainer. Though shadow clones are sooo helpful. Each one gives me the memories it gained back. Like if it read a book I would get those memories. For example chakra control. I can learn it in large amounts. Like if I trained for 8 hours straight with say 1,000 clones I could do a years training in a single day." Naruto said making them gasp.

"Can you teach it to me!?" Kiba asked excitedly thinking of how much training he could do. Before Naruto could say no Shikamaru did it for him. "It's not possible for you to learn Kiba at this moment. The hokage could at most make 50 before dropping dead. Kakashi Hatake who has the third highest chakra reserves in Konoha could make 27 before he passed out to chakra exhaustion. Well he's clearly now fourth. How much chakra do you have?" Shikamaru said and asked the last question to Naruto.

"Well... that is a good question. According to Jiji I could use a shit ton of high rank jutsu and not feel it drain my reserves at all. It's very helpful, but I need a lot of control to use it correctly." Naruto said making them go wide eye.

The group soon talked about meaningless things and stuff boys talked about.

"Sooo" kiba said with a teasing voice "got anyone to become the future Mrs. Namikaze?" Naruto blushed before smirking. "Yep. 3 girls." Naruto said as the guys got jealous. Who wouldn't want three girls. Beside Shikamaru of course. One was already to many for him.

"I got my in her words "alpha female" of my harem. Apparently I'm engaged to three girls. The first one is Yugao Uzuki. The second one I'll hold off on as I've never met her before. The third one is Kasumi Kaguya. Daughter of the fire damiyo and future damiyo of the fire country." Naruto said grinning as they all got jealous. Shikamaru has a curious look though.

"Are you against it?" Shikamaru asked. Naruto did a so so sign with his hand. "I'm fine with Yugao since I've known her for a while. The second one I've never met so I'm waiting to see if we both can marry each other. Kasumi I've known for a while. You all know how the fire damiyo visits every 3 months right?" Naruto asked and they nodded.

"Well when I was 8 we had both met. She had seen me being bullied by some upper classmates and her being the kind and loving 8 year old she is she tried to help me. The idiots actually punched her. Her guards had been a bit slow to stop it and the upper class-men weren't seen again." They got the hidden meaning the probably had been locked away or killed.

"I had ran away fearing for myself thinking she might try to bully me. Later I was called to Jiji's office and thought nothing of it since it was around this time he usually took me to get ramen on his break. When I arrived sitting there was Jiji, the fire damiyo, Kasumi and some guards."

"Well Jiji explained she was just trying to help me and wanted to make a friend. I still had trust issues... more then now, but not by to much."

"So eventually since Jiji had his break we all went to Ichiraku's and ate ramen. It was then I became friends with Kasumi. Sadly she now can't come because she now has heavy responsibilities. An I don't know if she sees me as a friend, best friend or even boyfriend material. I know I love her. She was honestly my first crush. I pretended to have a crush on Sakura to hide my feelings." Naruto said making them wide eye.

"Dam dude.... so what now?" Choji said and then asked. "Idk... how about we talk about all your secret crushes. Kiba and Hinata. Choji and that girl TenTen. Shino and that clan girl you like. Shikamaru is to lazy to have a crush." Naruto said snickering. The guys blushed beside Shikamaru.

Soon the group cleaned up before everyone else left to go home and Naruto fell asleep happily that night.
