A Day in the Life

Blanket disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Tenjho Tenge

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Welcome to the first day of boot camp from hell! Here's chapter 9:

Last time:

Chibi Bunshichi nodded in a sage like manner. "Now that that you have become truly enlightened I have these words to pass unto you as my own Master imparted them to me long ago. Engrave these words into your heart, mind and soul so you might pass them on to those that you will pass onto your own students in the future."

"I am ready to hear these words of wisdom my Master." said chibi Naruto reverently.

"Then listen well to my words Naruto." said chibi Bunshichi with great flourish. "Let it be known that there's no movie whether it be animated or live action that can't be made better without the addition of a hot lesbian sex scene."

Chibi Naruto shed tears of joy at his Master's wise words. "No truer words have ever been spoken my Master."

With that the two chibi men sat silently and reflected upon their enlightened thoughts…

…

Back in reality …

Maya and Hinata were both sitting and blushing as they stared at the massive erection that the unconscious Naruto was now sporting. Maya chuckled very weakly. "Well Hinata-chan; I think Naruto-kun is happy and resting peacefully."

Hinata had her palm on her forehead. "I can't believe we just lost our first kiss to each other…" Her eye was still trained on Naruto's bulging crotch. "Well, he does seem happy. I think we should call it a night and try to explain in the morning. Naruto-kun is totally comatose." she said still blushing. It took all the two girls' willpower not to check out the goods.

Both kunoichi in training gave the unconscious Naruto a peck on the cheek. "Pleasant dreams Naruto-kun." said Hinata as they closed the door behind them.

Chapter 9

Konoha, Natsume Clan Home

Naruto's night was full of erotic dreams starring his two best friends. When he woke up to his alarm at 3 A.M. he was covered in sweat and got up to take a cold shower before he got to thinking again. 'Oh god, I dreamed of Hinata-chan with Maya-chan, Hinata-chan with me, Maya-chan with me, Maya-chan and Hinata-chan with me…I even remember Emi-chan being in there somewhere…I'm becoming a total pervert…' he lamented in his mind. Turning up the cold water flow a bit; Naruto willed the water to wash his perverse thoughts clean…too bad it didn't work. It was a nice idea though…

Hanako used her byakugan and found all three of her sixteen year old charges were up and taking care of their morning rituals. Sighing and deciding her initial plan to douse them with buckets of ice cold water to wake them up was shot she decided to fix the kids some breakfast after she put the three buckets away…

Hinata had a cold shower to deal with her own perverse thoughts first thing and was now brushing her teeth. She was trying to figure out a way to explain to Naruto that she and Maya-chan were planning to kiss him and not each other that was going to be simple. She was blushing. 'I wonder if that dream I had last night will come true (giggle). Man what a ride I'll have on that stallion! Come to think of it, I wonder if Naruto-kun will even be awake enough to know we're talking to him. He isn't exactly an early riser…on an unrelated note I'm going to ask Obaa-chan about those three buckets she had out in the kitchen. When I looked at her in there with my byakugan first thing when I woke up she looked just a little too eager for my tastes…'

Maya was taking her own shower and pondering the same things as Hinata. She'd been dreaming that she took Naruto's tool out for examination and…things got pretty X-rated after that. The silver haired girl had the most intense wet dream of her life last night and really needed this cold shower. 'Good god! That dream I had last night was incredible. I soooo want to tell Naruto-kun about it…No! I must be resolute and set a good example for Aya-chan! Aaaugh! My face is heating up like it's on fire again; I just know I'm blushing like Hinata-chan does…'

Hanako saw the three blushing teens coming into the kitchen and saw the girls and Naruto were stealing glances at one another before quickly looking away. 'Ah, to be young again…' "Good morning children, did you all get enough rest? Did you dream about anything interesting?" she added slyly. All three of them violently shook their heads 'no' before blushing madly. 'Hmmm…I could torment them a while longer but they might be late…I'll have fun with them later.' "Alright, let's get some food in you three. You have a big day ahead of you and can't afford to be late on your first day."

After they ate Hanako shooed them out the door and chuckled to herself before thinking, 'Maybe it's those tight uniforms. They've had them a couple of days to get used to them but obviously the effect hasn't worn off. With all those hormones rushing around inside them I probably shouldn't tease the kids too much…Or maybe I should.'

…

Konoha Ninja Academy, 3:55 A.M.

Naruto, Maya and Hinata made their way into Room 301 in silence. Inside they saw a large room of desks that was far too big for twelve students. A tired Chunin yawned and asked for their names before he directed them to sit in one of the front two rows of desks which were six chairs across. They saw Sasuke, Sakura, Ino and Shino were already there. Shino was sitting towards the middle and Sasuke was sitting furthest from the door in the front corner. Sakura and Ino naturally were directly beside and behind Sasuke respectively and had the last Uchiha boxed in.

Deciding they didn't want to be near Sasuke and his fan club; Maya took the front seat closest to the door, Naruto sat beside her and Hinata sat behind him. Emi, Choji and a zombified Shikamaru came in next. Choji and Shikamaru sat in the center with Shino and Emi came over and sat behind Maya. Kiba dragged himself in with Akamaru asleep on top of his head about a minute later and plopped down between Hinata and Shino. That left one student not present and one seat left diagonal of Sasuke…which was filled by an unknown, pale boy named Sai who gave his name before sitting down in the last spot.

Sai's eyes roamed over the very tired looking class and he picked out Naruto, Maya and Sasuke immediately. Danzo-sama gave him the class roster and pointed out those particular three…

…

Flashback….

Danzo had just handed the kneeling Sai eleven folders with the dossiers of his classmates. "You are to familiarize yourself with all of your classmates Sai. This group all has great potential despite the fact they aren't trained as well as you are. I want you to pay particular attention to the following three: You are to ingratiate yourself to Uzumaki Naruto who is our village's jinchūriki and the heir to the throne of the Land of Whirlpools. Watch his actions and treat him with the greatest of respect. The notes on him are extensive so read them in detail."

"And the other two Danzo-sama?" asked Sai.

"Natsume Maya is the heiress to the Natsume clan and probably is the strongest kunoichi in your class. I simply want you to be aware of her. Personally I believe she is the strongest shinobi out of all your class. She has excellent discipline and both a strong mind and body. She would be a good ally to have later." stated Danzo.

Sai nodded. "I should try to ingratiate myself to her as well then."

"The last one I want you to be aware of is Uchiha Sasuke but for different reasons." said Danzo. "I believe he is a potential flight risk given his psychiatric profiles are unbalanced. He is the one I'm going to arrange for you to watch in case he tries anything in the future. While he is strong for an Academy student, his grades and potential to become 'Rookie of the Year' were very inflated to boost his ego. The preferential treatment he has received all his life because of his status as the 'Last Uchiha' has led him to be narcissistic and prideful which will be detrimental to him in the future."

"Will he continue to receive this preferential treatment?" asked Sai.

Danzo shook his head. "No, your instructor is Uzuki Yūgao who is a very talented young ANBU who specializes in kenjutsu. She will not tolerate favoritism. Uzuki is aware of your ROOT status so be careful and compliant around her. It is a shame we could not bring her into ROOT as she is an exemplary kunoichi. Unfortunately, the Hokage recruited her first."

"Are there any further instructions Danzo-sama?" asked the pale boy.

"No, I trust you to make sound judgments of your own accord although you should attempt to be 'friends' with you classmates." The way Danzo said 'friends' made it obvious he found the concept distasteful.

Flashback end…

Having studied the way to 'make friends' from a book Sai sat down quietly between Ino and Shino in a good position to watch over Sasuke. As virtually no one was talking Sai decided to remain quiet as well until their instructor arrived.

Uzuki Yūgao appeared in a body flicker at precisely 4:00 A.M. She picked up the roster from the chunin there and dismissed him. "I am your instructor Uzuki Yūgao. You will address me as Yūgao-sensei or Uzuki-sensei. I am an ANBU Kenjustu specialist. I have studied the dossiers of each and every one of you so there is no need for introductions. If you wish to socialize you can do it during meal breaks. Food will be provided in the cafeteria for both of your meal breaks which are an hour each to start with. Your days are from 4 A.M. to 4 P.M." Yūgao threw a kunai that hit the center of Shikamaru's desk which frightened him into alertness and shocked everyone else. "You are to be awake and alert every second of the day. Slacking will not be tolerated. Remember; this training was especially given to you by orders of the Hokage himself." She pulled her kunai from Shikamaru's desk and finished her introduction by saying, "I will train you to stay alive in the field even if it kills you."

Yūgao quickly wrote on the chalkboard:

4-6 Theory -Strategy and Tactics

6-8 Physical -Obstacle course, Taijustu Sparring and Target Practice

8-9 Breakfast

9-11 Theory –Anatomy, Infiltration and Espionage

11-1 Physical –Ninjutsu and Chakra Control

1-2 Lunch

2-4 Specialized Training

"I'm making this as simple as possible." said Yūgao. "Everything will be free form so times may vary. If we have to work through a meal break we will." Choji and Emi gasped in horror. "Additional training by others will be available if you can't keep up or have a noticeable weak point that I feel needs to be addressed. Your last two hours of the day are specialized training. You will be trained in things outside of the normal Academy curriculum. These include but are not limited to kenjustu, bojutsu, kusarigamajutsu, medical ninjutsu and fuinjutsu. The idea is for you to develop a specialty or specialties that will make you a more valuable ninja in the future. You can pick up to two specialty courses and if you find it doesn't suit you then you can switch to something you prefer. Specialties are not optional. They are for your benefit and I expect you to take advantage of them. Questions?"

Choji raised his hand and said, "Are snacks allowed in class?" with desperation in his tone.

"As long as you aren't disturbing others or making a mess I don't care Akimichi." said Yūgao. Choji and Emi both sighed in relief. Emi didn't eat like Choji did but she normally had a stash in her backpack for 'emergencies.'

"What about Math, Geography and History?" asked Sakura. 'Those are how I keep my grades up!'

Yūgao shook her head. "All those will be touched on but you've had those courses pounded into your head for years. If you want remedial classes after the day is over or on weekends then I will assign them as needed."

"Since we have such long days will there be homework?" asked Kiba. 'Please kami-sama; let there be no homework!'

"Homework will consist of group exercises that I will assign on Fridays and will be turned in the following Monday. I will pick teams of three or four and you partners will complete the assignments as ordered." explained Yugao.

"Can we pick who is on our teams?" asked Ino hopefully.

"No." replied Yūgao with a tone of finality. "Your teammates will change every week so you will get to know everybody. That way you will be flexible in the field. If a particular combination works well then I will notify the Hokage for him to consider when he assigns genin teams at the end of the course."

Sasuke looked up and said, "What about the class ranking system?"

Yūgao had been expecting this one. "Class rankings mean nothing in this course. You all passed the minimum requirements so you got in. You all are equals regardless of your former standings and you are expected to cooperate fully with one another as professionals." Seeing there were no more questions Yūgao added, "Quitting is not an option; however if I judge you to be a liability to your classmates you will be dropped from the ninja program entirely."

Everyone got wide eyed at this. "If we fail this course then we won't be sent back to the normal one?" asked Shikamaru who was planning to fail to get out of this.

"Precisely." said Yūgao. "It's all or nothing."

"That's not fair!" said Ino loudly.

"Neither is life." answered the purple haired sword mistress. "If you don't like it then complain to the Hokage after class lets out. As a final note, absences and tardiness will not be accepted without an official report as to why. I will not go looking for you but the ANBU will so make sure if you miss that you're injured or sick enough that you go to the hospital."

'Gee, when Cat nee-chan said she would be putting us through hell she wasn't kidding.' thought Naruto. 'I'll do my best though. I'm going to be Hokage someday! Besides, Hanako Obaa-chan won't tolerate any less.' He thought with a shiver as he remembered the 'chopsticks of doom.'

"Let's start class by learning your chakra affinities." Yūgao said as she pulled out sheets of chakra paper. "Come up here in front of the class and channel chakra into a piece of chakra paper as I call out your names." This was new to most of the students but Hanako had already tested her three charges with Naruto having wind, Hinata having water*① and Maya having earth and water*②.

…

7 A.M. Ninja Academy sparring grounds

'It's official; I'm truly in hell!' lamented Ino in her mind. After two hours of strategy discussions that had her head spinning they went out to an obstacle course that only an evil maniac could have designed, target practice and now taijutsu sparring. Worst of all; it wasn't divided by gender! The boys and the girls were treated equally and now poor Hinata was facing Sasuke-kun! 'I hope he isn't too hard on her. Hinata's a nice girl and doesn't deserve to be beaten up.'

Sasuke was shaking his head as he stood there. "Seriously, fighting a kunoichi? Hyūga, just forfeit. You can't win and I have no interest in this farce."

In the past Hinata probably would have done that but between all the frustration she had bottled up at her clan and the fact Hanako Obaa-chan was driving her hard Hinata decided to vent some of her anger. 'The Uchiha hadn't even assumed a stance!' she thought angrily.

Maya was watching the fight begin and whispered to Naruto, "Uh-oh, Hinata-chan is pissed." Naruto just nodded with a feral smile.

Hinata's byakugan blazed. "Very well Uchiha; if you won't take this spar seriously then I will. Eight trigrams sixteen palms!" Sasuke was totally blindsided by her offensive. He truly expected her to turn around and run away in fear. The sixteen-palm strike that Hinata unleashed on him wasn't a mere bitch slap either. Sasuke went flying out of the ring with several chakra points closed.

"Winner, Hyūga Hinata." Yūgao said in a bored tone. "Next time go for the thirty-two palms Hyūga. If he doesn't respect you send him out on a stretcher instead of holding back."

"Yes, Yūgao sensei." said Hinata as she bowed and stepped back over with her classmates.

Ino and Sakura were horrified at Sasuke being patched up by the medics. "Why did you do that Hinata?" screeched Sakura. "He was trying to be nice to you." Ino was nodding rapidly at Sakura's assessment.

"He was not." said Maya cutting in. "He was being totally disrespectful to us kunoichi. I think Hinata-chan should have thirty-two palmed him as well." Maya had drawn Choji earlier. She kind of felt bad for knocking the chubby boy out of the ring so quickly. After the spar was called in her favor she helped Choji up and gave him some encouragement as best she could which Yūgao-sensei seemed to approve of.

Naruto fought Kiba earlier and had fun but Yūgao scolded him for holding back too much. It seemed that she was almost as hardcore as Hanako Obaa-chan when it came to full contact sparring.

Sasuke yelled, "You'll regret this Hyūga!" as he struggled to sit up.

Hinata gave him a byakugan glare that would freeze hell. "Then next time I won't hold back Uchiha."

Just then, Hyūga Kō was dragged out of the trees by two ANBU and sat on his knees before Yūgao. "We found this interloper spying on your group Uzuki. Do you want us to take him to Ibiki?" Kō was feeling a bit faint right now.

Yūgao turned and glared down at Kō. "Well, care to explain yourself? –Or would a torture session help loosen your tongue?"

Kō was allowed to stand and blurted out, "I was sent by Hiashi-sama to observe Hinata-sama's progress and to make sure that she is alright. He is concerned for her wellbeing."

"Kō…" said Hinata in a hiss as she walked over to face him.

"Yes Hinata-sama?" asked Ko sweating.

"Eight trigrams thirty-two palms!" was what Kō heard/felt next. He tried to mount a defense but Hinata's different style of juken that Hanako taught her was far more difficult for him to gauge and he went flying. Kō rolled to as stop with a groan as he heard Hinata quietly say, "Pass that along to Hiashi-sama and tell him his 'concern for my wellbeing' is noted and will be relayed to Hanako-sama and the Hokage."

Yūgao knew exactly what was going on but feigned ignorance. "Did you have any other enquiries of my student Kō-san? If not, ANBU will drop you off at your compound."

Kō groaned, "Forgive me Hinata-sama. I am so sorry for what happened…" At Yūgao's hand signal Kō was whisked away by the two ANBU.

Most of the class stared at Hinata in shock. Maya hugged her friend to comfort her. Yūgao nodded in approval. "Natsume, take Hyūga back to the classroom to settle down for a few minutes; then the two of you meet us for breakfast at eight in the cafeteria."

…

After the two girls left several of the students asked what was going on with the Hyūga clan but Naruto remained shut mouthed and Yūgao told them it wasn't their concern and to get back to sparring.

…

Konoha Academy Classroom

Maya sat down with Hinata who was crying silently and said, "Damn them! Haven't they done enough?"

Maya soothed her friend until she calmed down. "I think you got your point across. We'll tell Hanako Obaa-chan tonight after class okay? Remember Naruto-kun and are here for you always Hinata-chan."

A few minutes later Hinata nodded and sighed. "I'm okay now Maya-chan. I just feel like I'm stuck in the eye of a storm. Let's go to breakfast. I am starving."

…

8 A.M. Academy Cafeteria

"I just realized I should probably be getting out of bed about now." said Kiba with a chuckle as he sat down across from Choji and Shikamaru.

Shikamaru yawned and stretched. "I can't believe what a drag this day this has been. I feel so bad for Hinata. I knew something has been messed up with the Hyūga clan lately but I don't think 'troublesome' is strong enough word to describe it."

Emi was talking to Ino at the next table. "You can pity Sasuke all you want but compared to the hell Hinata-chan unleashed on her clansman I personally think she did the Uchiha a favor."

"I don't get it Emi." replied Ino. "You said you like strong men and yet you don't like Sasuke-kun and sit with Naruto."

Emi raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? Look at how scrawny the Uchiha looks in that uniform. Try punching Naruto-kun's arm Ino. It's solid muscle. That's what I like in a man. He may be shorter but Naruto-kun has plenty of time to grow." Emi said as she dug into her (super-sized) breakfast.

Ino saw Naruto standing over by Hinata and Maya who just came in and went over to see Hinata. She punched Naruto in the arm and felt like she hit a piece of granite. Naruto didn't budge but turned his head to face Ino and said "Yes Ino?"

"Ouch…." Ino said flexing her fingers. "I just came over to check on Hinata and bopped your arm to get your attention. Are you wearing some armor under your gear?"

Naruto got a look of confusion and said, "We all have the same gear Ino. It's just mesh."

Ino squeezed Naruto's arm and said, "Make a muscle." Naruto rolled his eyes and did so which made Ino's eyes widen. Maya and Hinata started getting steamed at Ino's obvious intentions (at least to them; Naruto was oblivious as always).

Hinata said with a glare, "If you're all done feeling up Naruto-kun; didn't you say you wanted to see me?" Maya's death glare on top of Hinata's didn't make Ino feel too safe and she quickly released Naruto's arm she'd been fondling.

"Sorry about that Hinata." said Ino chuckling lamely. "I just wanted to make sure that you're okay. I don't know what's going on but you seemed really upset."

Relaxing a bit; Hinata said, "I'm okay now Ino. There have been some major issues at the Hyūga Compound so I'm staying with my Obaa-chan right now instead of there. It will all blow over eventually."

Maya smiled and said, "Let's all get some food and sit down. It looks like Emi has saved us some places. Besides, I can hear Naruto-kun's stomach growling."

…

Ino soon found herself sitting with across from Hinata, Maya and Naruto with Emi and the new guy, Sai. He introduced himself with a fake smile and said, "I am Sai; I was privately instructed in the ninja arts so the Ninja Academy is new to me. It is a pleasure to meet you all; especially you Naruto-sama."

Naruto was sweating. He said lamely, "Um, why are you calling me –sama? I'm just plain old Uzumaki Naruto."

Sai smiled again. Well, that's obvious Naruto-sama. You carry the Royal Blades of the Uzumaki Royal Family, Shippuuhime and Kurimuzo-kougou. It's a well-known fact you wouldn't be able to wield them if you weren't a Prince of the Land of Whirlpools. I know a bit about sword heraldry and-"

Naruto lunged and grabbed the pale boy's neck cutting off all his air circulation. Naruto wrenched Sai out of his seat lifted him up to face him. "That's classified by the order of the Hokage you fool! My lineage is not to be spoken of."

The whole class (except Maya and Hinata) stared with wide eyes in shock along with Yūgao. There was total silence aside of the choking noises from Sai. Yūgao quickly said, "Uzumaki, release Sai this instant! He can't breathe!"

Naruto let go of Sai who fell back and was gasping for air. Naruto just towered over him menacingly. His blue eyes were blazing and Yūgao saw his right hand moving steadily towards the hilt of the Shippuuhime. "Naruto, stand down now." she said authoritatively. His eyes flashed at hers for a second and then he stepped away from the table where Sai was still struggling to get some oxygen back in his lungs. Releasing a breath she unknowingly was holding; Yūgao said to Naruto and the others, "Not one word from any of you about this until we are back in the classroom." She quickly checked Sai's rapidly bruising neck and made a 'Tsk' sound. 'Naruto meant to execute him.' "I'm taking Sai to the infirmary to get his neck checked. You all will meet me back in the classroom in twenty minutes. Remember: Not one word."

'My god Ino's Mom was right! Naruto is royalty!' thought Sakura with wide eyes. 'If that's the case, does he know about his Mother too?'

Shikamaru said, "Just when I thought things couldn't get more troublesome. Let's finish eating and go back to class."

Ino quickly noticed Hinata and Maya putting their hands on Naruto's shoulders in a comforting manner and that they weren't surprised. As they sat him back down to finish breakfast Ino noticed Emi was staring in absolute shock. 'I guess Emi didn't know either but Maya and Hinata obviously did. I wonder what I should do now.' Seeing everyone going back to eating their meals in silence Ino noticed everyone had looks of disbelief and bafflement but Sasuke looked completely incensed. He already looked battered from the spar with Hinata earlier and now how was looking more and more jealous and enraged…

…

Yūgao body flickered with Sai to a closed off classroom. "Danzo told you to say those things didn't he ROOT?"

Sai was nursing his sore neck and said, "I wasn't aware it was classified but I do know about the swords and his Mother, I was trying to make friends with him but it seemed I've failed for today given how violently he reacted."

"And who is his Mother?" asked Yūgao.

"His Mother is Uzumaki Kushina who was known as the Red Hot Habenero and was a Kage level kunoichi." said Sai. "Can we please check my neck Yūgao-sensei?"

Yūgao sighed. 'Danzo probably views him as expendable anyway.' "I'm taking you to the infirmary ROOT. You are not to utter one word about Uzumaki's family or royal status unless asked to by myself, the Hokage or Uzumaki. I am watching you."

…

Konoha Academy Classroom

The class was all back in their seats at 9 A.M. and a few minutes later Yūgao appeared with Sai in a body flicker. The nurse suggested Sai go to the Hospital but Yūgao told him he could see a medic after class was over since his neck injuries were not life threatening even though the black and blue blotches looked like hell on his pale skin.

"Go to your seat Sai." said the purple haired sword mistress. She'd sent an ANBU messenger to the Hokage and was waiting for his instructions on how to proceed. Seeing her class was totally preoccupied and were all dumbfounded she decided to wait until this matter was settled before she proceeded. They wouldn't be able to pay attention in this state. 'The first damn day and there's already a huge mess. The whole class may have to be mind wiped. I was very curious about those swords myself but I didn't have a clue those were the Royal Blades of Uzu –no wonder Naruto-kun said it was classified.'

An ANBU appeared ten minutes later with a sealed note in hand. He handed it off to Yūgao and vanished. "Uzumaki, come up and read this with me." said Yūgao after scanning the note. Naruto was soon standing by Yūgao as she showed him the Hokage's letter. It read:

ANBU Uzuki Yūgao -

Yūgao, please show this letter to Naruto as well so he knows about this. You and Uzumaki Naruto have formal permission to reveal Naruto's Royal Lineage and his Mother to the class. His Father's identity is classified though I'm sure Danzo knows who it is. The class is to know this information is classified and revealing it will result in severe punishment.

The Third Hokage,

Sarutobi Hiruzen

Naruto let out an audible sigh and thought, 'The first fucking day.'

Yūgao destroyed the note and said, "What is about to be revealed is classified and if you share it with others the penalties will be severe per Hokage-sama. If you don't believe you can keep this information to yourself I will arrange for your memories of this information to be wiped by a member of the Yamanaka Clan. Raise your hand if you want your memories wiped." When no one raised their hands she turned to Naruto and said, "Please inform the class of the things Hokage-sama mentioned in his letter Uzumaki."

Naruto stood for a moment and then said, "My Kaa-san was the last surviving member of the Royal Uzumaki family that ruled over the Land of Whirlpools which is now extinct. She was a Princess named Uzumaki Kushina. She was a seal mistress of the highest order and a Kage level kunoichi. She was also known as The Red Hot Habanero. I inherited the title of Prince as her son but that was only revealed to me recently due to security reasons."

"It is not to be revealed publicly until my eighteenth birthday or I become a chunin." continued the blonde. "I presume the reason Sai was able to identify this was because I carry the katana Shippuuhime and its sister wakizashi Kurimuzo-kougou. They can only be wielded by a member of the Uzumaki Royal Family although I'd be very curious as to how Sai knew what these blades look like considering they haven't been seen since before Konoha was founded."

"It wasn't my intention to upset you Naruto-sama." said Sai bowing in respect. "I have some interest in sword heraldry and wanted to ask you about the swords since the wakizashi was supposed to have been destroyed or lost. I had no idea the information or your family was classified. Please accept my apology Naruto-sama."

Naruto looked like he was warding off the worst migraine in history. "I will accept your apology Sai but if it happens again I will kill you."

Sai gave his fake smile and nodded. "Thank you, Naruto-sama."

"Just call me Naruto." said the blonde in a strained voice. "The rest of the village will start asking questions if you keep adding –sama to my name."

"As you wish Naruto-sa- Naruto." said Sai.

"That goes for everybody." added Yūgao. "We don't want rumors to start concerning Naruto."

Sasuke chuckled, "Like I'd lower myself to addressing a so called 'prince' of a dead country with an honorific. You're just a dead-last, clanless vagabond with a couple of subpar swords that are too good for you even at that. You're not royalty in my eyes. Did a flood or a rainstorm wipe out this little country no one has ever heard of?" he asked with a smirk.

Sakura gasped in horror at what was just said. "Sasuke-kun, the Land of Whirlpools was a great ally of Fire Country. I read they were so feared because of their fuinjutsu skills that several countries joined together to wipe them out during a war."

"That is correct Haruno." said Yūgao. "The First Hokage's wife was an Uzumaki and the swirl we have on our flak jackets and forehead protectors are to honor them because it is their family crest. I met Uzumaki Kushina when I was in training and she was a great kunoichi that was an inspiration to us. She was a candidate to be our Fourth Hokage though that title eventually went to Namikaze Minato."

Maya interjected, "It sounds like it took entire nations bound together to destroy the Uzumakis in a war whereas it only took your psycho brother one night to kill off your entire clan by himself Uchiha. It's sad but whatever reputation your clan had you are dragging through the mud with your awful behavior. Your ancestors would be ashamed of you. Your attitude toward Naruto-kun and others is disgusting. I don't see how you sleep at night."

Sasuke sputtered, "Maya, surely you can't believe that. A woman of your caliber should-" The Uchiha found himself suddenly smothered by killing intent so strong that he felt as if he was about to die. Trembling like a proverbial leaf he looked up and saw Naruto's blue eyes blazing with such cold fury that he nearly fainted.

Naruto said in a voice as cold as death itself, "If you ever speak ill of my clan again, I will cut out your eyes since they are the only thing you have of value." Sasuke nearly wet himself in fear and nodded rapidly.

Seeing Sasuke was brought to heel; Yūgao said, "That will be enough Uzumaki. Return to your seat. This conversation is over." Naruto ceased his killing intent and returned to his desk where Maya and Hinata were waiting there to calm him down a bit.

…

4 P.M.

Class was over and Yūgao dismissed her students. The purple haired ANBU was ready to tear her hair out. 'There's more drama in this damn class than any soap opera I've ever seen! Damn you Hokage-sama! I've felt less tension in the air on a battlefield than this. Teaching these little hellions ought to be an S-class assignment!' she ranted in her mind as she left for the apartment she shared with her boyfriend Hayate. 'Maybe Hayate-kun can calm my nerves. I need him.'

Naruto, Maya and Hinata traveled in silence as they headed back to the Natsume compound. They were all three physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. There first day of the advanced genin course was far more difficult than they expected. 'I hope tomorrow is easier.' thought Maya. 'The course itself could be much worse but that moronic Uchiha has moved up my shit list from really annoying to absolutely hated. Thank the gods Naruto-kun kept his temper in check. If he hadn't 'The Last Uchiha' would be in reference to Itachi. I can't believe that Uchiha prick tried to convince me he was in the right later over lunch. I should have clobbered him. He's finally shown his true colors. What loathsome piece of garbage he is.'

Ino and Sakura were both a bit disillusioned. Their tragic prince turned out to be a totally different person when he finally opened his mouth. Sakura remembered the pictures of Kushina and Mikoto together and wondered what Uchiha Mikoto would have thought of her son's speech. It made her want to cry…

POSTSCRIPT:

*①: After the Fourth Databook, everyone in Naruto got all kinds of chakra affinity changes so I went with the older ones found in some of the games. For instance, in this story Hinata has water (like in several of the RPGs) whereas Kishimoto has her as having fire and lightning in the Fourth Databook.

*②: Maya can manipulate wood as a weapon, etc. in Tenjho Tenge, thus earth and water. I don't know if this would qualify her as a mokuton user down the road but it's a possibility to consider. Since she doesn't have the ryugan it might make a cool alternative.

Well, a lot more drama than planned this chapter but that's the way it panned out. Sasuke has elevated himself to new heights of prickdom and appalled the entire class. Even his fan girls thought him insulting the dead was completely out of line. The Hyūga Clan seems to have crossed the line for good with the normally kind Hinata. The next couple of chapters will have excerpts from the classes but won't be hour by hour like this. It would be rather boring to read let alone write. Since there are no class rankings the way the Teams are arranged will be changed as well. See you next chapter. Blue out. 6/5/23
