Hello and good day one and all to another story of mine! ^_^ With the new year afloat, what better way to commemorate it than with another crossover since you all know I'm a SUCKER for crossovers! ^_^ Now this story is a small rewrite of a story I did last year which was a fanfiction between Naruto and Pitch Perfect and with how much I enjoyed the idea of that story, I've decided to rewrite it since I am a HUGE fangirl of both series! Now despite this being a rewrite of the previous story, this will STILL be a pairing with the Bellas' favorite Legacy, Emily, and the Leaf's hyperactive knucklehead ninja, Naruto, since I love both characters and I feel they would mesh well together so…yeah! =P Now with all that said and done, let the story begin~! ^_^

It was a beautiful morning in the Village Hidden in the Leaves as the sun shone brightly in the morning sky as children ran through the street while shop owners opened their shops ready for business of the new day and several villagers greeted each other and got together to meet for whatever plans they may have had for the coming day.

However, in the office of the Hokage, one Naruto Uzumaki had a peculiar request for the recently made Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake.

"You want to leave the Leaf Village to visit this Emily Junk girl?" Kakashi questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah! I made a promise to see her again once all the crap with the Akatsuki and Sasuke were done years ago. So can I leave?" Naruto asked as Sakura, Sai and Yamato were also in the office as they looked to each other at Naruto's request. What if he fell in love with her upon visiting her? Would he ever come home? Would he even want to come home again if that was the case?

No. He still has his dream of becoming Hokage to accomplish.

"Well…it wouldn't be fair to keep this Emily girl waiting for several years." Sakura said, although she found Emily's name to be a bit peculiar, not hearing a name like that in the Elemental Nations. Especially her last name, Junk. Although she was happy to find that her best friend had found him a girl he seemed to like, she couldn't stop feeling sympathy for her friend Hinata, though.

"And it's not like you're gonna leave forever, right?" Yamato asked, not wanting the orange bundle of energy to potentially leave the Leaf Village if he was given the opportunity.

Naruto on the other hand gave his superior a bizarre look that he would even question such a thing.

"Of course not! I still have my dream of achieving Hokage to reach!" Naruto smirked as he pumped his left hand into his right one.

The other members of the office looked at Naruto before laughing.

"Of course you'd think that, Naruto." Sai laughed as Kakashi decided to clear his throat.

"So Naruto, do you even know where this Emily girl is at?" Kakashi asked, hoping Naruto had a general idea of where to go as Naruto smiled.

"She's in a place called Atlanta, Georgia." Naruto explained Sakura's eyes darted in confusion at the bizarre name.

"….Atlanta?" Sakura blinked.

"…Where…is that?" Sakura tilted her head as a question mark nearly appeared over her head.

"It's in a place called America." Naruto explained as Sai, Kakashi and Yamato all seemed to nod in agreement.

"America?" Sakura asked, turning to her companions in confusion.

"I'm familiar with that place. I would often have stake out missions there assigned to me by Lord Danzo back when he was alive." Sai explained as Yamato and Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"I admit back in my Anbu days, Tenzo and I traveled there for a vacation once." Kakashi smiled behind his mask at Yamato's red face.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that in public!?" Yamato practically yelled as Kakashi laughed as Yamato sighed, knowing how much of a troll his superior was.

"In any case…America has really good hotels there and they're really good with their Hospitality. And from what I've heard, Atlanta is where the Barden Bellas are." Yamato explained as it was Sakura's turn to be confused.

"The…Barden…Bellas? Who're they?" Sakura asked as she had never been to this America whatever place. She was too busy training with Tsunade after all.

"The Barden Bellas are a group of all female singers who specialize in using just their mouths." Sai said as Sakura just stared at the former Root ninja.

"Yeah…that's not suggestive at all." Sakura sighed, wishing for Sai to be normal for a change.

"Sai is right though. They are a group of women who sing without using musical instruments and they do rely on their vocals. They're really good in what they do. So good that they won several championships over the years. The most recent one being the World Finals in Copenhagen." Kakashi explained as Naruto and Sakura blinked at the bizarre name.

"Copenhagen? Where is that?" Sakura asked.

"Wouldn't know. I failed maps." Naruto shrugged.

"And this Emily is a part of them." Sai said.

"Yes, that's right." Kakashi confirmed as Naruto pumped his fist in his palm.

"Alright! I knew she could do it!" Naruto cheered as Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Emily wanted to always become one and I knew she would become one." Naruto smirked, happy that his old friend was able to achieve her dream of becoming a Barden Bella and it even sounded like she made some pretty reliable friends.

"Just what would you have done if she hadn't become one?" Yamato asked, clearly bemused as if he knew how Naruto would answer.

"Oh I would've given her Hell and told her to keep on trying until she succeeded. That's how I became I ninja after all." Naruto smiled as Yamato, Sakura and Kakashi all shared a good laugh. What a typical Naruto response.

Sai however merely stared at Naruto.

"I thought you only became a ninja out of luck and the fact that Iruka-Sensei took pity on you." Sai bluntly said as Naruto glared at the pale ninja.

"I graduated because I showed Iruka-Sensei how awesome I was!" Naruto argued as Sai laughed.

"If you say so~" Sai said with a smile following his comment, a little too condescending for Naruto's taste.

"I thought you were over this!" Naruto was about to give Sai a piece of his mind before being restrained by Sakura.

"Knock it off!" Sakura practically threw Naruto off of Sai as Kakashi and Yamato sighed in irritation.

"I swear it's like dealing with preschoolers." Yamato shook his head as sweat dripped down Kakashi's head.

"You should have been around when I had to deal with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura back in the day." Kakashi deadpanned as Sakura decided to ask a question on her mind.

"I was wondering…just how did you meet this Emily Junk girl, anyways?" Sakura asked as Naruto smiled before taking a seat on the chair in Kakashi's office.

"Well…it was back when I was training with the Pervy Sage. We made a pit stop in that Atlanta place where after Pervy Sage ditched me to go skirt chasing, I found Emily crying by herself in the park and I felt bad so I decided to talk to her and we became friends really quickly. It turns out she was bullied and picked on because she was tall for her age…" Naruto smiled with a nostalgic look in his eyes as Sakura frowned, knowing what it was like to be picked on for something you had no control over.

"But she was really nice, brought me ice cream and she even showed me around Atlanta where she told me her dream was to become a Barden Bella and I told her she could do it. I could tell she had it in her to do it." Naruto grinned.

"From what it sounds like, it sounds like you saw some of yourself in her." Sai rationalized as Naruto laughed.

"Yeah I guess you could say that. Although when I told her I was a ninja she didn't believe me." Naruto shrugged, slightly in disappointment.

"Then again, where America is, they don't have ninjas there. At least in the traditional sense." Kakashi said as he remembered how he was once called a "Weeb" upon saying it to a random stranger there. Whatever the hell that meant anyways.

"No ninjas? Then how has America not been well…invaded?" Sakura cringed at the thought of living anywhere without the protection of the Shinobi system.

"Well in their location, Americans don't have to worry about any Shinobi invasion or attention." Yamato explained as Sakura seemed satisfied with that answer.

"And so before really become close friends her mom came and told her it was time for her to go. But not without snapping a picture of the two of us. And then before we left, I made Emily a promise to come see her again once I got done with all this Akatsuki and Sasuke crap." Naruto grinned before digging in his pocket and showing his comrades a picture of both him and Emily, both arm and arm, smiling broad smiles.

"Aww, that's so cute~!" Sakura swooned as she could understand why Naruto would want to see this Emily girl again. She was pretty.

"Then again her mother if I'm not mistaken was a Bella many years ago." Kakashi said much to Naruto and Sakura and even Sai's surprise.

"Oh yeah?" Sai asked.

"Yeah. Her name was Katherine Junk." Kakashi elaborated as Naruto and Sakura narrowed their eyes.

"If her maternal last name is Junk, I can only wonder what her dad's last name is…." Sakura muttered as Sai decided to speak what was on his mind, just because.

"Emily has a nasty case of giraffe legs." Sai bluntly stated much to Naruto and Sakura's consternation as he looked at the picture.

"Sai!" Naruto yelled although Sai continued on, ignoring Naruto.

"And I could see why she would want to join these Barden Bellas. From the pictures I've seen of them, they look like ugly sea hags. I mean you have one that looks like a ugly as sin ginger, a blonde that looks like a witch straight out of hell, a blonde whale, two midgets, another girl besides Emily that has giraffe legs, another one that looks like a Gremlin and two girls that are as left behind and irrelevant as Shino is." Sai smiled on as both Naruto and Sakura had to be restrained from strangling him by Yamato.

"What is wrong with you!?" Naruto growled.

"I thought you outgrew this!" Sakura also growled as Yamato had to literally pull the two back from manhandling Sai.

"Honestly, you two!" Yamato sighed as Kakashi shook his head. Even after saving the world it seemed Naruto and Sakura still were as outrageous as ever.

"Well since the Fourth Great Ninja War is over and we don't have any serious threats or any for that matter, I will grant your request to leave the village temporarily." Kakashi smiled as he rested his head on his palms.

"Alright! Thank you! I can't wait to see Emily again!" Naruto gleamed as everyone in the room smiled at his happiness.

"Oh Naruto….although I feel bad for Hinata. She's loved you ever since we were little….and especially with what happened with Pain…." Sakura looked down. Previously she had wanted to set Naruto and Hinata up back she was younger so that he would be out of her way for Sasuke but with Naruto's apparent interest in this Emily girl, she wasn't going to force Naruto to be in a relationship he had no interest in.

Naruto also frowned before looking at his pink-headed teammate.

"I want to give Hinata the love she has for me but I can't. If I just led her on without not feeling the same way, I'd just be lying to myself…." Naruto looked down as Sakura nodded, remembering all too well how Naruto felt about people lying to themselves.

"Do you need Yamato to make a map for you or do you remember how to get there?" Kakashi asked as Naruto grinned.

"Nah I remember. You gotta cut me a break, sensei. I have a good memory after all. I am Naruto Uzumaki, remember?" Naruto grinned as everyone in the office shared a good laugh before Sakura glared at Naruto.

"And make sure to keep your stitches in your arm again. Don't fiddle with them as I do not want to put them back in again!" Sakura warned Naruto who sweated nervously.

After the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi had stumbled onto Naruto and Sasuke's arms a fair distance away from the Final Valley and thankfully Sakura was able to reattach their limbs. Although…this didn't stop Naruto from poking at his stitches one day when he was bored….leading to him indirectly knocking off the stitches and to say Sakura was mad would be an understatement.

"Y-yeah of course!" Naruto nervously laughed. Even after all these years, Sakura still scared him.

And with that, Naruto quickly made his way home and packed all the essentials necessary for his trip to Atlanta, Georgia.

"Alright, ready to go!" Naruto grinned before strapping his back pack on before making his way out of his home.

Nearly a month had passed since Naruto had left the Leaf Village before he finally reached his destination of Atlanta, Georgia.

"I'm finally here!" Naruto smiled as he noticed the bustling traffic while smiling as he remembered his initial reaction to all the modern buildings rather than the traditional architectural buildings back in the Elemental Nations.

Naruto soon however felt his stomach growl as he laughed sheepishly.

"Okay…I'll get some ramen from a ramen shop here and then it's off to see Emily!" Naruto grinned as he strolled off in search of a ramen shop before coming to a horrifying realization nearly half an hour later….

"There's no ramen here!" Naruto shouted, ignoring the bizarre looks he received as he was close to having a panic attack.

"…And I ate the last of the ramen I packed this morning…" Naruto sighed, blinking back tears before sighing, deciding to continue in his search from Emily. According to Kakashi, the Bellas had their own special house made after winning their first competition many years ago and so off went Naruto in his quest.

But with his intelligence, of course Naruto was lost before stumping upon one particular house.

"…Trebles?" Naruto blinked at the name of the house before shrugging as he made his way up to the front porch.

"Maybe these guys can help me find where the Bellas house is." Naruto shrugged to himself before knocking on the door.

Behind it came a boy that literally had narcissism and asshole written over him. Upon noticing Naruto or rather, his whiskers and appearance, he snorted.

"And who are you supposed to be?" The boy asked as Naruto internally groaned. He internally didn't like this guy. This guy was a bigger asshole than Sasuke, Naruto could tell.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked, trying to make some small talk as the boy snorted.

"Bumper. What's it to you? You trying to join the Trebles or something?" Bumper snorted, not going to let this weird looking loser join them. After all, what the hell were those whisker like marks on his face?

"Oh no thanks. I'm just trying to look for the Barden Bellas." Naruto explained as Bumper lost his smug look as he raised an eyebrow.

"And why would you want to see those losers?" Bumper asked. Well at least one of them wasn't a loser, anyways. Not that he would let this ass-clown know that.

"I'm actually old friends with one of them, you know Emily?" Naruto asked as Bumper's cocked eyebrow only got wider.

"Oh, that giraffe legged girl?" Bumper asked as Naruto's eye twitched at the insult he gave Emily. Years ago when he first made the rank of Genin, he would've lashed out and cursed out the asshole but at least with everything he's been through, Naruto knew how to humble himself and be calmer.

Somwhat anyways.

However, Naruto kept his cool and continued.

"I'm an old friend of Emily and I just wanna know where she is so I can re-meet her. You know where the house where she stays with the Bellas is?" Naruto asked as Bumper shrugged. For all he knew, this guy could be some sort of secret assassin and it wasn't like he cared about the Bellas save for Amy.

"Just go south and you won't miss the house." Bumper pointed in the direction Naruto needed to go, making the hero of the Leaf smile.

"Got it, thanks!" Naruto grinned before taking his leave.

Benji Applebaum had heard the commotion from the living room of the Trebles household and made his way to the front door to investigate what was going on.

"What was all that?" Benji asked as Bumper shrugged.

"Some guy looking for that Junk girl. He was really weird and had whiskers." Bumper shrugged before taking his leave.

"Probably one of those weebs I used to bully back in Middle School." Bumper snorted before leaving as Benji looked deep in thought. It wasn't exactly a secret that Benji had a thing for the Legacy of the Barden Bellas however much to his dread, she revealed she was already in love with someone. Someone she hadn't seen in years that she planned on seeing again, hopefully real soon.

"I wonder if…" Benji muttered to no one in particular.

And speaking of the Barden Bellas and Emily Junk….

One Emily Junk found herself tumbling down the stairs after the nineteen year old tried, and failed, the final acceptance process of christening the stairs.

Needless to say, this whole process didn't go over well as she was left in a comical daze.

Emily could hardly register the voices around her.

"Oh shit!" Beca winced as Chloe ran to the baby of the Bellas.

"Emily? Emily! Hey! Stay with me!" Chloe ran to help the youngest Bella.

"I wonder if she's okay…" Flo muttered.

"Legacy you idiot." Amy rolled her eyes as everyone else scowled at her.

"Amy!" Chloe chided her friend as Fat Amy shrugged.

"Should've tucked and rolled. Amateur." Amy scoffed as the rest of her friends gave the Legacy child of Katherine Junk concerned expressions.

"You okay, kiddo?" Aubrey asked, feeling attached to the girl like all the other Bellas, especially after learning how all she wanted was to be accepted and loved by the Bellas during their time together on her retreat, something which the girls had long since done. Emily was just too sweet and innocent to not love.

"Yeah…..never better." Emily grinned despite the pain in her forehead.

Although the rest of the girls weren't convinced with Emily's answer, they were at least relieved her head didn't come tumbling off her neck.

"That's a relief." Stacie grinned giving Emily a light tug on the shoulders.

"Thankfully her neck didn't break off." Lilly muttered meekly though no one could hear her.

"You sure?" Jessica asked as Ashley gave the youngest Bella a worried expression though Emily was quick to wave her off.

"Of course I am! I'm Emily Junk after all." Emily laughed through the pain on her forehead as a small bump had formed much to the Bellas' concern as Chloe was the most unconvinced as she frowned at the freshman.

"Even if you say that, it wouldn't be good if you got a concussion so just stay there while I get you an ice pack." Chloe said before she left to go to the kitchen.

Despite the ringing in her head, Emily could say this was the best feeling she had in a long while.

Before she was just a clumsy, slightly ditzy girl only known and associated with the brand of her mother's Barden Bellas status attached to her and with the exception of a certain boisterous blonde, she hardly had any friends. At least before she came to Barden University…

Upon coming to Barden she had finally gotten the friends she had always desired and pined for after so long. Sure things may have jumped off to an awkward start with the Bellas starting with a slightly awkward audition followed by her having difficulties adjusting to their very eccentric way of life at first and even messing up the Riff-Off but in the end she redeemed herself and now the Legacy had not only earned the acceptance and love of the Bellas but was now officially an honorary Bella woman and despite the concerned looks from her Bella sisters and the pain ringing in her forehead, she felt really great with how her life was turning out. If only Naruto could see her right now….

"Heh! Told you that you could do it!" A certain voice in Emily's head yelled at her as her eyes widened as she could've sworn she saw Naruto Uzumaki from all those years ago right in front of her…..Same blonde hair, blue eyes and bizarre orange and blue outfit with his weird headband with a leaf carved on the metal of the plate on it…..

"I really did…." Emily smiled as her Bella sisters looked at her in confusion.

"Who're you talking to?" Beca asked as Emily waved off Beca.

"Oh no one…" Emily giggled as Beca sent the Legacy a strange look before deciding to drop it as Emily sighed in bliss. She really missed Naruto…it had been a little over four years since she had last seen him….where was he? Did he get finished with what he said he needed to take care of? Did he still remember her? Did he forget?

Emil continued thinking these thoughts before a ringing of the doorbell got the attention of everyone sans Chloe who was in the kitchen.

"Who is that?" Aubrey asked as no one really felt like answering the door before Amy decided to do it, although she was practically pushed to it by the others.

If it's a girl scout, I'm slamming the door right in their faces, I don't feel like dealing with any brats tonight." Amy answered while everyone within earshot rolled their eyes at Fat Amy's comment.

"Sorry my boobs are so crazy looking I was just jumping." Amy apologized as she opened the door only to see a young man of around seventeen or eighteen years of age standing behind it. He had spiky blonde hair with the most dazzling blue eyes Amy had ever seen in her twenty two years of existence but what really caught Amy's attention were the three whisker marks on both his left and right cheeks coupled with the long black head sash that had a metal plate which resembled a left on it. He wore an orange jacket with a black collar with matching black pants and black sandals. This young man was relatively attractive in Amy's eyes though that didn't matter much to her in the long run. This…was Naruto Uzumaki, the hero of the Fourth Great Ninja War.

"Yo!" Naruto greeted with a fox-like grin as Amy stared at him like he was a hooker off the street.

"Sorry, it's not Halloween." Amy looked at Naruto in bewilderment before slamming the door right in his face, much to his confusion.

"Hey! Hey wait!" Naruto shouted although he was ignored before banging on the door.

"Who's that?" Chloe asked, already back with the ice for Emily's head as she gave Emily her ice pack.

"Oh just some weirdo with this weird headband thingy and some fake drawn on whiskers. I told him it's not that time of the year for trick or treaters." Amy shrugged as everyone raised an eyebrow at Amy's description.

"Whiskers?" Stacie cocked an eyebrow.

"Yep. Probably some bum that got drunk and decided to color on himself or something." Amy shrugged.

"That's kinda weird though. Who would draw whiskers on their face?" Beca raised an eyebrow.

"You're asking me." Cynthia Rose shrugged as Chloe couldn't stop the gut feeling she had. Would it really be some drunk stumbling to the house? Something told her to answer the door. That and to shut up the constant shouts of "I know you hear me! Quit ignoring me, ya know!"

"Will someone shut that up!?" Aubrey asked, fed up and annoyed with all the banging and yelling.

"I'll do it." Chloe said as Emily's eyes widened momentarily.

"No way…the voice….whiskers…it can't be!" Emily felt her heart race and pound against her chest hard.

Chloe then opened up the door as she looked to see Naruto with an irritated, impatient expression on his face with his arms crossed and his foot tapping.

Chloe then raised an eyebrow as she realized Amy was indeed right, this guy did have whisker marks. Although…she suddenly smelled the boy for any kind of alcohol or drugs.

"You don't smell like you're drunk or high." Chloe rubbed her chin in thought as Naruto was about to lose his already short and low patience but refrained himself. The last thing he needed to do was to cause a scene.

"I can assure you I'm not drunk or high. I'm looking for Emily Junk." The boy bluntly stated as Chloe raised a skeptical and suspicious eyebrow.

"How do you know Emily?" Chloe slightly took a step back. This boy didn't look particularly strong but appearances could be deceiving. What if this guy was a serial killer or something? She wouldn't dare let anyone harm any of her fellow Bellas especially their newest youngest edition!

Taking note of her wary expression, Naruto gave her one of his trademark, kind smiles.

"I promise I mean no harm. We have a connection that goes way back." Naruto swore in a tone that Chloe couldn't help but trust. Why? Chloe Beale had no idea.

Almost robotically, she stepped aside as Naruto finally entered the home as the girls all stared bug-eyed realizing he did indeed have whisker marks on his face.

"What the hell? Are those real?" Beca pointed at Naruto's whiskers as Naruto laughed sheepishly.

"Hehe…they're uh….birthmarks." Naruto laughed nervously as everyone continued starting at him bug-eyed.

"….Birthmarks?" Jessica and Ashley simultaneously asked as Naruto was lost for words at how to describe things.

"Okay he's a looker…" Stacie smiled seductively.

"Totally." Flo answered as Lilly and Cynthia Rose just stared at Naruto with unimpressed expressions.

"Who the hell is this joker?" Cynthia Rose snorted as Naruto ignored that comment.

"Who are you and what the hell do you want?" Aubrey asked, readying her hands to punch in case this guy was some sort of creep.

"Hey calm down, everyone! I'm just here for Emily!" Naruto said as everyone immediately got in defensive mode, ready for some Heavy Violence. Emily was their baby Bella and they'd be damned if they let anyone harm her.

"Why are you here for Emily!?" Aubrey spat, willing to use the defense moves she learned on her retreat if needed.

Lilly was even reaching in her pants pockets for something that may have been a weapon as everyone else was on guard to protect Emily. Beca and Amy seemed to feel the strongest in this regard as Naruto started to nervously sweat. This was not how he envisioned things going.

However, before anyone knew anything, Emily slowly ran her way into Naruto's arms.

"Oh my god, Naruto! Naruto is that really you!?" Emily was close to nearly crying as Naruto grinned as he held her close.

"Damn right it is, ya know!" Naruto grinned as the Bellas could only watch the exchange in confusion while not knowing what to say.

"Wait a second? Did she say Naruto?" Chloe asked as the other Bellas' eyes all widened as they recognized the name of "Naruto".

"Holy crap I think I've heard that name before!" Beca agreed with the red head.

"Yeah same here." Flo blinked.

"And Emily knows this Naruto?" Ashley asked as Naruto and Emily let go of each other to give each other a chance to breathe.

"How long has it been Naruto?" Emily asked as Naruto grinned.

"I dunno! Three Years? Four? Who cares!? At least I can see you again, ya know!?" Naruto laughed as the Bellas blinked at Naruto's verbal tic.

"….Ya know?" Amy asked.

"He says ya know a lot." Lilly muttered as everyone actually agreed with her for once as Naruto turned to everyone.

"Sorry about that everyone. Emily's an old friend of mine. Wait, I should introduce myself. I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto grinned although the girls stared at him.

"We know who you are. We've heard your name a lot lately." Aubrey said as news of Naruto's heroics or rather his name had spread to places and countries outside of the Elemental Nations although they weren't given the full details due to places like America having no need for a Shinobi system.

"Oh great! That makes things all the more easier for me!" Naruto grinned, relieved he wouldn't have to spend like three hours having to explain everything.

"You're some kind of soldier or army soldier or something?" Chloe asked as Naruto grinned.

"Even better! I'm a ninja!" Naruto grinned as everyone sans Emily all blinked in confusion at Naruto's words, definitely proving America and especially Georgia had no Shinobi system.

"…You just say you're a ninja?" Cynthia Rose blinked as she and the other Bellas obviously didn't believe him except for Emily who already knew this although she had the same bewildered, unimpressed expression her fellow Bella sisters had.

"Yep!" Naruto beamed as the girls looked unconvinced and even wondered if Naruto was mentally stable.

"….You…don't say?" Beca deadpanned as Naruto felt a tick mark appear on the back of his head. It was obvious these girls were thinking he was now crazy.

"Maybe he's just some over the top weeb. Though I wouldn't mind dating another one." Stacie winked as Naruto felt both irritated as he remembered Kakashi's words about being called one his own self.

"…What is a weeb?" Naruto questioned the brunette though she just winked at the ninja hero.

"And besides, if you're a ninja shouldn't you be in all black with masks and where're your weapons and fishnet and all that?" Aubrey asked as Naruto sighed before a mischievous smirk adorned his facial features.

"Well to prove that I am indeed a ninja, just take a look at this!" Naruto smirked before making a hand sign.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted before anyone knew it, over ten Narutos filled the room.

"Whoa! What the hell!?" All the Barden Bellas exclaimed. Well except for Lilly.

"How'd you do that!?" Ashley asked as Naruto merely grinned in response.

"I'd make more but I don't want the house to explode." Naruto grinned before all the clones did all sorts of housework such as scrubbing the windows, vacuuming the rugs and even washing the leftover dishes in the kitchen.

All the while the Bellas watched in amazement.

"Okay how did you do that!?" Beca pointed at Naruto as he deactivated his jutsu.

"Magic…" Lilly murmured as Naruto grinned.

"I'm a ninja, ya know. See, look." Naruto summoned another clone before they performed Naruto's signature jutsu, the Rasengan.

"Okay that's some crazy magic!" Jessica stammered as Naruto grinned.

"It's no magic, ya know!" Naruto grinned as he raised his hand as the Rasengan slowly got bigger.

"Don't destroy our home!" Chloe yelled, bewildered at what she was seeing. Was it too much to just have a normal evening?

"Yeah! There're antiques in here, asshole!" Aubrey yelled as Naruto stopped the Rasengan as he grinned.

"So? Believe me now?" Naruto grinned as the girls were in stunned silence at what they had seen except for Emily and Chloe.

"…I….uh….guess we have no choice…" Ashley blinked, not believing what she had seen just moments ago.

"Yeah that was all way too incredible…like you made something that looked like a Kamehameha!" Beca exclaimed as a smug smirk adorned Stacie's lips.

"And here I thought you said you hated Dragon Ball, Mitchell!" Stacie smirked while Beca's cheeks reddened.

"I do! I just uh…have baby cousins who watch it…" Beca lied which was pretty obvious to everyone.

"Sure you do…" Stacie snickered.

"Oh shut your damn mouth, weeb!" Beca countered.

"…..Is he some sort of demon?" Lilly murmered as Naruto could hear her, making his eye twitch at the comment but he chose to ignore her.

"Well I guess we have no choice but to believe that you are a ninja, then." Stacie winked, making Naruto blush at the comment who was still getting used to girls complimenting his looks. He wondered if Sasuke felt the same back in the Ninja Academy.

"Stacie!" Chloe chided.

"What? I'm just stating facts." Stacie shrugged Chloe off.

"Chloe's right. Emily is Naruto's girl." Jessica stated making both Naruto and Emily blush.

"Uh…" The seventeen and eighteen year old blushed making Stacie smirk.

"So Naruto…how did you meet our precious baby Bella?" Stacie winked as Naruto stammered for an answer.

"Stacie…you're embarrassing me…" Emily whined as she looked down with red cheeks.

"Sorry~" Stacie apologized though it was pretty clear she didn't mean it.

"Well we met when we were kids and I was traveling the world with my old master when I found her crying by herself in the park. I cheered her up and we became friends and she even showed me around before I had to leave but I promised her when I got done with some business that I'd come see her again!" Naruto grinned.

"And thank you for keeping your promise, Naruto." Emily smiled as she gave Naruto a tight hug while the girls all "Cooed" and "Awwed!" at the display.

"Aww~! That's so cute!" Chloe beamed, happy that her youngest Bella has someone that she loves.

"Our little Emily has finally grown up~!" Jessica and Ashley all cheered.

"Nice pick, Legacy." Cynthia Rose smirked.

"Whiskers and Giraffe Legs. A match made in heaven." Amy smirked, earning her glares from everyone in the room.

"What!? I'm just kidding!" Amy yelled in defense of herself. Why were people so damn sensitive nowadays?

"I wanna be the Aunt to their kid!" Flo said as Naruto and Emily blushed.

"I-it's not like that!" Both Junk and Uzumaki yelled simultaneously, making everyone laugh as they all, even Lilly, felt happy that their youngest Bella had found someone she was obviously head over heels in love with. Well everyone save for Beca who didn't share everyone's enthusiasm.

"I dunno….Emily's so innocent and I don't want her getting her heart broken…." Beca frowned as everyone looked at her.

"Beca! I seriously doubt Naruto would hurt Em!" Chloe was quick to come to Naruto's defense as Naruto nodded.

"Yeah Beca, right? I promise I won't do anything to harm Emily or make her hurt. That's my promise, ya know!" Naruto grinned as Beca merely blinked at him.

"You know…you say, 'ya know', a lot." Beca noted as the other Bellas nodded in agreement, slightly curious as to why Naruto had such an obvious verbal tic.

"Yeah, why is that?" Stacie asked as Naruto laughed nervously.

"I uh…got it from my mother…hehe…" Naruto laughed though everyone looked unconvinced at Naruto's answer although his answer raised even more questions between the college women.

"I just wish we could see how Emily and Naruto met." Flo said as everyone agreed with that sentiment.

"I'm also curious of just what Naruto went through if he's actually a ninja…" Aubrey spoke up as the other Bellas found themselves curious as to what Naruto had actually went through if he was known to nations and countries that didn't even have ninja.

However before Naruto could answer the women, a familiar figure started to make his presence known, or rather his voice.

"Hey Naruto, why not just show them everything?" A very deep voice suddenly rang through the air, alerting all the girls.

"Who the hell was that?" Beca asked, immediately on guard along with the other girls.

"Oh that's just Kurama!" Naruto grinned as literal question marks appeared on the heads around the girls.

"…Kurama?" They all asked simultaneously.

"What's up, pal!?" Naruto smiled.

"You can bring the girls in here and I can show them your whole journey including how you met that Emily girl if they're curious of what you've gone through." Kurama suggested making everyone raise an eyebrow.

"Wait, who are you and where are you?" Chloe asked as Kurama snorted.

"Inside that blonde idiot." Kurama smirked knowing he would set Naruto off.

"Idiot!? Says the softy fox!" Naruto spat before knowing he would set Kurama off this time.

"Softy fox!? Without me you would've died!" Kurama spat back as the girls were confused at the argument Naruto seemed to be having with himself.

"Uh…is Naruto talking to himself? But where's the voice coming from?" Aubrey asked.

"Anyways just hold hands and then hold hands with Naruto and you can all come in." Kurama said as everyone looked even more confused.

"So…we….hold…hands?" Cynthia Rose blinked as Kurama sighed in exasperation. Were all humans this stupid?

"Can't you hear? That's what I said." Kurama said as the girls grew irritated at Kurama's rude attitude.

"Okay fine, keep your pants on." Beca rolled her eyes as everyone, albeit reluctantly, held hands before Emily extended her hand to Naruto.

"So rude…" Jessica muttered, much to Kurama's chagrin.

"What was that!?" Kurama demanded, making Jessica yelp in fright.

"N-nothing Mister Kurama sir…" Jessica meekly apologized.

"Now before we go, I'll warn you all now, you'll all see something really…weird." Naruto sheepishly explained, ignoring Kurama's offended shouts.

"Uh…weird?" Jessica tilted her head, slightly not wanting to see what Naruto meant by "weird".

Before the girls could even ponder what Naruto meant, they found themselves transported to what appeared to be a dark sewer hallway.

"What the hell is this?" Beca asked, speaking for everyone.

"And why are we in a sewer?" Stacie groaned as she lifted her feet to find them submerged in the murky water as the other girls were just as disgusted.

"This is so gross…Why are we even here?" Ashley groaned as the other girls all tried not getting their feet that wet if they could help it.

"Because this is where I am." Kurama answered.

Before the girls could say anything they found themselves face to face with none other than the Nine Tailed Fox himself.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" All the Barden Bellas yelled with wide, blank eyes.

Well everyone except for Lilly for some weird reason.

"….I've seen worse…" Lilly muttered though no one chose to even dignify her.

"Would you all quit shouting!? There's only so much space in here." Kurama groaned as the girls tried finding their voices.

"…..What is a gigantic monster doing inside of Naruto?" Cynthia Rose asked as Naruto laughed.

"Haha well he may be big and scary looking but inside, he's a big toasty cinnamon bun!" Naruto laughed much to Kurama's irritation.

"Hey now!" Kurama scowled.

"….Oh yeah?" Ashley questioned, obviously not believing the blonde Shinobi.

"But are you girls sure you wanna see what I went through? It's a lot of shit…" Naruto tried reasoning as he knew some of the stuff he went through would disturb the girls, especially Emily, but they practically snorted at Naruto's fear.

"When I was nine my brother sold me for a pet chicken so I've seen it all." Flo shrugged as Naruto and even Kurama stared at her.

"…A chicken?" Naruto blinked.

"How the?" Kurama asked before stopping himself, not believing he was even interested in such a tale.

"Flo's right, we're big girls, we can handle it." Cynthia Rose said.

"So just show us already!" Amy nudged Naruto who looked at Kurama who only shrugged in response.

"Well okay, then." Naruto said as Emily looked to the giant Tailed Beast.

"So how are we even gonna see Naruto's memories of everything?" Emily pondered.

"Just hold onto Naruto like you all previously did." Kurama said as everyone did so.

As soon as they did that, the Bellas' conscious minds went blank before they found themselves reliving the entirety of Naruto's ninja journey…..

With a sudden flash, the Bellas found themselves standing in what appeared to be a big room with lit candles scattered around the room.

"Where are we?" Emily asked as she glanced around. "Why is everything so foggy?

The Bellas then noticed there was a thin haze where they were, almost as if they were looking at things through blurry water.

Chloe then rubbed her chin before coming to a conclusion, "If this is one of Naruto's earliest memories, it would make sense that he may not be as clear in recollecting events. Although this could be because of Kurama also."

"I guess that makes sense." Amy shrugged before the loud scream of "IT HURTS YA KNOW!" got the attention of all the Bellas.

"Wait, did she just say 'Ya Know'?" Beca slightly grimaced, having a disturbingly good idea of who this woman may have been.

"I think so…C'mon, let's go!" Chloe said as she and the Bellas ran down the room before they found a small crew of doctors surround two people. One was a man who had spiky blonde hair and blue eyes while the woman had long red hair. Based on the man, it was easy to put two and two together on who these two were….

"Hold on…these must be Naruto's parents!" Ashley said as she pointed at the man as Stacie smirked.

"I can see where Naruto got his good looks from." Stacie smirked at Minato.

"Oh yeah, totally!" Emily bashfully agreed with her fellow Bella as Jessica had an epiphany based on the woman's position.

"And I think the woman must be giving birth!" Jessica pointed as Kushina was definitely in a lot of pain.

"You sure she just doesn't need to crop dust?" Amy joked, ignoring the disturbed looks she received.

"And this must be Naruto's birth then!" Emily pointed as everyone's eyes widened as they never thought they would be the birth of Naruto Uzumaki of all things.

"Hold on, if these are Naruto's parents…where are they now?" Emily asked, getting over her shock, as some of the more mature Bellas looked down.

"…If Naruto doesn't talk about them, it could be possible he's an orphan…." Aubrey's look became downcast as the other Bellas gave her sad and confused looks.

"But how?" Flo asked, slightly curious as to what killed Naruto's parents.

"These memories are gonna show us, one way or another." Stacie shrugged as Kushina continued screaming before the birth was a success as Naruto was finally brought into the world.

"Awww!" All the Bellas cooed as they surrounded the Baby Naruto. He was really adorable as a baby.

"What happened?" Amy asked, wondering how such a cute baby would grow up to be so hideous. Just kidding, of course.

"So cute~!" Emily grinned as she tried holding him only to phase right through him.

"What the hell?" Cynthia Rose asked.

"I guess…since this already happened, we can't really do anything to the memory like holding someone." Aubrey theorized as the other Bellas looked depressed at not being able to hold Baby Naruto.

"Well that bites." Chloe muttered.

However, the sweetness of the moment didn't last long before baby Naruto found himself in quite the predicament for a lack of better words.

"Fourth Hokage, Minato. Step away from the Jinchuuriki or else this child will die in its first minute." The masked man warned, his voice very deep and gruff and sending a chill down the spines of some of the weaker Bellas.

"Who is this guy?" Ashley asked, taking a step back as she could tell this guy was definitely no good.

"And why is he threatening a baby!?" The usual cheery Jessica asked with hate and venom in her voice.

"Naruto! Why isn't his dad doing anything!?" Emily demanded although Beca had her own question.

"What is a Jinchuuriki?" Aubrey asked for Beca as though reading her mind although none of the other Bellas could answer her question. Eventually Minato was able to get Naruto away to safety with Kushina in tow shortly after. But the Bellas were stunned with how the masked bastard had essentially mind trapped Kurama into tearing up the village before he was suddenly restrained with chakra chains as the Bellas listened to the conversation and were horrified at everything they heard.

"Wait, so they're gonna seal Kurama into Naruto? But he's just a baby! Can he actually handle it?" Emily asked in concern for her friend as the Bellas were just lost for words.

"…I guess so…" Beca sorrowfully answered as the girls were saddened to learn that such a jutsu would result in the deaths of both of them. However before the girls could say anymore, they heard a large growl come from Kurama.

"Damn you! Fourth Hokage!" Kurama growled with utter rage as he raised a claw, ready to impale the newborn Naruto Uzumaki.

"Kurama! What the hell are you doing!?" Chloe tried yelling to her friend, or at least someone she thought was a friend as she couldn't believe he would harm a newborn infant.

"Naruto!" Emily, Stacie, Ashley and Jessica all tried pushing Naruto out of the way only for them to phase right through the baby, much to their frustration before every Bella's eyes all widened in horror as they witnessed an image that would never leave their minds, Minato and Kushina were impaled through one of Kurama's claws, a feat that every Bella knew would result in the two's births.

"….Okay…I've seen some shit…" Amy began.

"But that's just…" Aubrey couldn't even finish, already regretting coming into Naruto's mind.

Emily meanwhile just covered her mouth as tears sprinkled her eyes.

"Naruto…I'm so sorry…." Emily tried covering her tears as Ashley and Jessica merely put comforting hands on her shoulders.

"I said…I was his father…..dying for him…is my duty…." Minato weakly wheezed as he glared at his wife. Despite the excruciating pain she was in, Kushina managed a small smile.

"Yes but….I'm his mother….it's mine too….I think this might be….the first time….I've lost an argument…I guess it proves…just how serious you are about you doing this…" Kushina meekly laughed.

"And even when they're gonna die…they're still joking?" Beca asked in disbelief.

"These are Naruto's parents…" Chloe asked, her eyes teary as she and the other Bellas realized the moment was coming when Naruto would lose his parents forever.

"I'm not gonna last much longer. I'll start the Eight Signed Seal right now. I still want to put some of my chakra in Naruto. We won't see him…for quite a while. So let's tell him what we want to say…." Minato said as some of the Bellas, namely Chloe, Stacie, Aubrey, Ashley, Jessica, Emily and Flo were in tears.

""Naruto…don't be a picky eater….just eat a lot so that you grow up big and strong. And make sure….that you bathe every day and that you stay warm. Also…don't stay up too late and make sure that you get plenty of sleep. Don't forget to make friends as well. You don't need a ton of them, okay? Just a few is fine. As long as they're ones that you can really trust…And…your mom wasn't real good at this but make sure you study hard and learn your ninjutsu. Always remember, everyone is good at somethings and not so good at others so even if something doesn't go well, don't get depressed, okay? When you're at the Academy, respect your teachers and the upperclassmen. Oh, now this is important. Regarding the three prohibitions of the Shinobi. Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Take your pay, put it in a savings account. No alcohol, not until you're of age. Too much Sake is bad for you practice moderation. And…another prohibition is women. Remember, I am one so I don't know too much about it. Keep in mind that this world is made up of men and women and so at some point you'll notice girls and that's normal, just be careful. Don't fall for the bad ones, just go out there and find someone like me! Naruto…I'm sorry to say….there will be plenty of hardships and painful times ahead…Just be true to yourself….make sure to have dreams…and the confidence to make those dreams come true…Oh Naruto…there's so much….oh so much more….there are so many things I wish I had time to pass onto you. So much more I want to tell you. I wish I could stay with you longer….I love you!" Kushina sobbed as those words were enough to send all the Bellas into tears, even those who manage to hold their tears the longest like Beca, Amy, Cynthia Rose and Lilly.

"That's so sad….I mean…" Beca didn't even know why she was crying over someone she didn't even know losing their parents.

"Naruto…should've grown up with both of his parents!" Emily said through her tears.

"I just hope Naruto gives that masked bastard his just desserts." Chloe said bitterly.

"Minato…I'm sorry, I used up your time." Kushina apologized though she didn't stop her tears.

Although Minato felt like breaking down into tears himself, he ultimately composed himself and kept his cool.

"No….it's alright….Naruto…my words to you…well…I guess your talkative mom said it all…" Minato chuckled although the group of college girls could've sworn they saw several tears leave his eye sockets.

"Eight Signed Seal…." Minato said as a bright light brightened around Naruto before the Bellas managed to barely compose themselves for the next set of memories to come.

"I can't believe…Naruto's birth was so…" Emily tried finding the words as she wiped her eyes.

"Hellish?" Aubrey asked as Emily laughed mirthlessly.

"Well whatever it is, we agreed to do this so let's just brace ourselves for what's to come." Stacie said as everyone nodded, some more than others were feeling a bit reluctant to come in, not ready to see more of Naruto's darkness.

The Bellas watched as a nearly four year old Naruto was being treated as a plague for having Kurama placed inside of him and the derogatory comments angered and saddened the Bellas:

"To think Lord Hokage would soil our village with that brat!"

"I know, our village has fallen!"

"To think Lord Fourth is dead instead of him."

"It should've been him instead."

"Such a little monster. I don't want my kids associating with him one bit!"

"He even comes near my kid and I'll yank them aside myself."

"What the hell is wrong with these bastards!? Treating a kid who hasn't done anything like that…" Beca clenched her fists, instantly regretting the previous feelings of distrust she had for Naruto.

"Minato should've let them get blown to bits." Flo said with utter disgust in her voice as the other Bellas weren't that far off in disagreeing with her.

"A monster? I'll show them a monster." Cynthia Rose muttered, cracking her fists. How dare these assholes treat the future husband of their Legacy like this?

"And no one's gonna feed him!?" Emily yelled, not even able to control her rage as it was driving her crazy being kicked out of shops and cafes along with hearing Naruto's stomach constantly rumble.

However, upon coming to a shop known as Ichiraku, the girls were relieved that the owner didn't give Naruto any grief for having Kurama in him but rather welcomed him with a warm smile.

"Come on in here, little boy. It's safe." Teuchi warmly encouraged the young boy to enter the shop.

Naruto however, used to the horrible treatment of the villagers, tensed up before slowly creeping out of the shop.

"Wait! Come back! I promise I won't do you wrong." Teuchi called out to the young boy who meekly came into the shop.

"…..Really?" Naruto timidly asked.

"Really." Teuchi confirmed with a small smile as Naruto nervously sat at a desk where his food would get served.

"How nice…" Chloe smiled as such a scene was enough to bring tears to Emily, Ashley and Jessica's eyes.

It took little to no time as Teuchi set down a nice, steaming bowl of ramen down for the young boy.

"Here you are! A big bowl of miso ramen with extra chasu and pork!" Teuchi smiled as the young boy marveled at the sight of the tasty bowl of ramen. His stomach roared with anticipation as his mouth salivated uncontrollably.

"Okay that looks really good!" Amy drooled as her stomach suddenly felt empty.

Naruto looked unsure as Teuchi put a hand atop Naruto's head.

"Go ahead. Eat while it's still hot." Teuchi smiled kindly as Naruto decided to take a couple of bites, his hunger getting the better of him before his eyes suddenly lit up in childish excitement.

"Yummy!" Naruto yelled as Teuchi heartily laughed at the scene as Naruto savored every single bite.

"And you can have another bowl on the house!" Teuchi grinned, pouring the leftover Ramen he had left into Naruto's bowl.

"Wow! Thank you!" Naruto grinned as he ate the second bowl just as fast.

Such a scene was a scene to bring a tear to the eyes of all the Bellas watching.

"God bless this man…" Emily smiled through her tears.

"The world needs more people like that old man." Stacie agreed as the Bellas then watched as during a day of training in the forest one day, the Bellas watched as Naruto met with the old Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi where after talking to him, Naruto was…inspired.

"I'M GONNA BE THE HOKAGE ONE DAY!" Naruto yelled as he jumped right off the Hokage monument, much to the shock of the other Bellas.

"DID HE REALLY DO THAT!?" Emily yelled as Beca had to cover her ears.

"Chill out. Don't take my ears off…." Beca groaned as Chloe asked the question on everyone's mind.

"Where is Mister Hiruzen and why isn't he stopping him? Or rather, where are the adults?" Chloe asked.

"With adults like the ones hating on Naruto, who needs them?" Amy asked, shutting Chloe up.

"Okay but we saw his apartment in one of Naruto's memories and it just bothers me that they let a little kid stay in an apartment by himself. It's like what the hell?" Ashley asked in disgust.

"They're ninja." Lilly shrugged as everyone shook their heads the Bellas watched as Naruto eventually joined the Ninja Academy and one day in particular stood out in particular to the girls.

"Naruto Uzumaki!" The teacher in charge of the class, Iruka Umino called before turning to another student, "And Sasuke Uchiha! Step up you two!"

The girls didn't miss all the girls cheering and flaunting over Sasuke.

"That's him? Eh…he's not as cute as Naruto." Emily shrugged.

"His head looks like a duck's ass." Amy stated as the girls all looked at her with confused expressions before realizing the Australian was indeed right.

As the two students stepped forward, the girls were slightly taken aback after seeing the look in Sasuke's eyes.

"What's wrong with that Sasuke kid? He looks like…" Chloe frowned.

"He looks like he wants to kill somebody." Lilly said as her friends gave her disturbed looks.

"Hopefully not Naruto." Jessica shuddered as the thought of kids murdering each other.

"Why would he?" Emily asked, hoping no one would answer before the two children charged each other before the girls were amazed as Sasuke effortlessly topped over Naruto.

"Well he's definitely fast…" Stacie muttered as none of the girls could've seen him coming as Emily and the other girls tensed as they noticed the look in Sasuke's eyes, everyone sans Lilly anyways.

"What the hell is wrong with this kid?" Aubrey asked as Sasuke immediately got off Naruto as the two were reminded to do the Unison Sign before…

They actually grabbed the collars of their shirts as they glared bloody murder at each other.

"Hmph!" Naruto growled as Sasuke glared deeper at Naruto.

"You wanna go another round, you loser!?" Sasuke spat as Iruka had to push both boys away from each other before a potential fight could break out.

"Sheesh, talk about some bad ass children." Cynthia Rose muttered.

"You're telling me…" Amy shook her head as the Bellas watched as Naruto played with some kids in the park one evening but as the kids left the park, they were immediately pulled away as soon as the parents noticed Naruto.

"What do you think you're doing!? I told you not to play with that boy!" One parent told her children.

"Now come on, let's go." Another parent said as Naruto looked close to tears at their words as the Bellas' hearts all went out to Naruto in that moment while feeling anger towards the villagers.

"Okay what the hell? It's not Naruto's fault that Kurama attacked the village!" Emily yelled as the Bellas' wholeheartedly agreed with her.

"I know, I feel really bad for him…" Stacie agreed.

"How can people do that to a kid!?" Ashley asked in a voice not heard too often to the other Bellas as they watched Naruto pull himself together as he walked home before noticing a certain boy at the edge of the pier.

"Hey. that's Sasuke!" Chloe pointed at Sasuke.

"Why's Sasuke all alone right there? Where're his parents?" Jessica asked as Naruto and Sasuke noticed each other and gave each other disgusted glares, reminiscent to the ones Beca and Aubrey used to give each other before they turned away. However…the Bellas noticed they then gave each other small smiles.

"…What was all that about?" Beca blinked.

"Hell if I know." Flo shrugged.

"These are some weird kids." Cynthia Rose muttered as the girls couldn't disagree with her.

The Bellas continued watching as several years in the Academy passed with Sasuke ending up at the top of the class with Naruto being the Dead Last of the Academy.

"With Naruto being a hero, you'd think he'd be at the top of the class…" Emily blinked as the girls watched all of the failed transformations along with missed targets and low test scores.

"We all start from somewhere." Jessica shrugged, curious as to how Naruto became the person he is today.

During a conversation at Ichiraku one night, the Bellas all listened as Naruto discussed his dreams for the future with Iruka, someone the girls were taking a liking to as he was one of the few who didn't treat Naruto like crap.

"I'm going to be greater than any of them. Naruto, the next Hokage! A ninja legend! Then everyone will have to stop disrespecting me and look up to me!" Naruto vowed to Iruka as he looked utterly lost for words while the Bellas all smiled at the young boy.

"That's our little guy." Emily smiled.

"Although he hasn't done much impressive stuff since these memories started." Amy stated in a matter of fact voice.

"Oh give it time, Amy. If he's a hero now obviously some stuff had to have changed!" Chloe argued in defense of Naruto before the next memory came as the final examinations were underway.

"We will now start the final exam. When your name is called proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on the Clone Jutsu!" Iruka said as Naruto paled, looking as if he was gonna puke any second, something the Bellas didn't miss.

"It's kinda weird, seeing Naruto struggle with something that he's a master at later." Aubrey noted.

"Yeah, what changed?" Beca asked.

"He's gonna fail." Amy scoffed.

"Amy!" Emily yelled.

"Just watch Legacy." Amy snorted as it was finally Naruto's turn.

"C'mon Naruto! Don't listen to Amy!" Ashley cheered for the Bellas' new friend.

"Yeah, you got this!" Chloe also cheered as Naruto summoned chakra before he actually did summon a clone. Well….this clone was pale and dead looking with its tongue sticking out.

"….A for effort at least?" Emily blinked as Amy snickered.

"Told ya, Legacy!" Amy bragged as the other Bellas felt second hand embarrassment for Naruto before Iruka denounced Naruto's hopes of passing with a hard firm, "YOU FAIL!", nearly making Naruto fall on his head as his hopes of becoming a ninja had been shoved back for the third time it seems. The Bellas' hearts all went out to the young boy as he was all alone while everyone else celebrated before the boy was approached by a man named Mizuki who promised Naruto still had a chance to pass if he stole a Forbidden Scroll, making Cynthia Rose mutter to never trust a pretty looking guy as all the Bellas agreed with her.

As Naruto did said task, the Bellas all felt for Naruto as it was later revealed the reason for the villagers' harsh treatment towards him was due to the fact of being Kurama's container, a feat that made him run off in rage as it was apparent Naruto was at the end of his rope but not before the Bellas and memory Naruto overheard a certain conversation.

"Why are you protecting that freak? He's the one who wiped out your family!" Mizuki scoffed as Emily glared at the bastard, wishing she could smack this bastard for setting up her potential boyfriend.

"I'll show you a freak you-!" Emily was about to storm over and give him a piece of her mind before being held back with ease by Chloe and Beca.

"This is a memory, remember?" Beca asked, annoyance present in her voice, as Emily eventually calmed down.

"I don't care what you say. You're not getting yoru hands on that scroll!" Iruka spat back as Mizuki jeered at the Chunin.

"As if you could stop me? Don't you get it, Naruto's just like me!" Mizuki smirked as all the Bellas looked at the memory ninja with identical looks of disgust.

"Don't ever compare yourself to someone like Naruto!" Stacie yelled.

"How's that?" Iruka asked, deciding to humor the fool.

"He wants the scroll for his own power and his own vengeance. That's how beasts are." Mizuki stated in a matter of fact voice.

"Oh give me a break." Chloe snorted.

"You're right. That is how beasts are." Iruka said as the Bellas couldn't believe their ears.

"Wait is he serious? I thought Iruka was different…." Aubrey noted with disappointment in her voice as the Bellas couldn't believe Iruka was thinking like the villagers.

None were more heartbroken than Naruto who looked close to tears as he buried his head in the scroll.

"…So it's true…Iruka-Sensei never believed in me. He thinks I'm a beast…some kind of freak!" Naruto winced as it looked like he lost faith in nearly everyone in the village.

"But that's not who Naruto is! He's nothing like that! Naruto's one of a kind, works hard and puts his whole heart into it! Sure he messes up sometimes and everyone jumps on him but his suffering only makes him stronger. That's what separates him from being a beast. So you're wrong, he's nothing like the Nine Tailed Fox, he's Naruto Uzumaki of the Village Hidden in the Leaves!" Iruka pronounced as the Bellas found themselves moved by his words.

"I love this guy!" Jessica practically sobbed as Ashley was comforting her though no one was more teary eyed than Naruto.

"Quit crying and kick his ass already!" Emily and Beca yelled as when it seemed like Mizuki was going to finish off Iruka, Naruto cut him off with a harsh kick straight to the face.

"YES!" All the Bellas cheered.

"Kick his ass, whiskers!" Amy and Cynthia Rose all cheered.

"Not bad, for a little punk." Mizuki glared as Naruto fixed the traitor with a deadly glare.

"If you ever lay a hand on my sensei, I'll kill you!" Naruto spat as the Bellas continued cheering for Naruto.

"Such big words. I can completely destroy you with a single move!" Mizuki bragged as the Bellas all rolled their eyes.

"This guy just loves to hear himself talk." Flo groaned.

"Take your best shot, fool. I'll give it back to you a Thousand Fold!" Naruto made a hand-sign that the Bellas all recognized.

"Let's see you try! Show me what you can do, Nine Tailed Fox!" Mizuki said before the words, "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU" completely made him fall on his ass.

"Geez! How many are there!? A hundred? A thousand?" Chloe nearly felt dizzy.

"I'm glad he didn't summon all those in our house!" Beca muttered as the clones all gave Mizuki a taste of his own medicine, leaving him in a bloodied and broken heap.

"That's it? I expected more." Amy shook her head in disappointment.

"Should've kicked him in the dick." Lilly muttered, ignoring the bizarre looks she received.

That was enough for Iruka as he instructed Naruto to close his eyes and as soon as he opened them…

"Congratulations! You graduate!" Iruka practically beamed at Naruto who was silent with his expression blank.

"What's with him?" Stacie asked.

"He must be so happy he can't say anything." Emily grinned as Naruto immediately tackled Iruka in a tight bear hug.

Eventually several days passed as Naruto was eventually assigned a Genin team and was grouped with Sasuke Uchiha, the boy from earlier who the girls found to be as weird as Lilly and Sakura Haruno, someone the Bellas didn't have a strong opinion of due to her harsh treatment of Naruto and her very annoying infatuation with Sasuke.

"What is that boy doing?" Beca groaned as everyone looked to see Naruto put an eraser in a position between the door and the frame where it'd fall on a person's head when they opened.

"Another prank." Amy deadpanned as Emily giggled. She didn't mind Naruto's pranks like some of the other Bellas. After all, she did prank them that one time with her "Banana Cam".

"It's what he gets for being late!" Naruto snickered as the door opened revealing their sensei who actually got hit with the eraser.

"Haha! I got him! I got him!" Naruto nearly fell back on his ass from laughing so hard as the Bellas couldn't believe someone that was supposed to be an upper class ninja got hit with such a basic trap.

"This guy is really a ninja?" Ashley blinked, not believing someone could be caught in such a basic trap?

"At least he has the whole ninja look down." Stacie smirked as the Bellas couldn't disagree with the tall girl.

"He's kinda cute." Aubrey smiled as Stacie nodded in agreement as the Bellas shot them both disturbed looks. How could anyone think someone is cute when a mask covers over seventy percent of their face?

"I'm sorry, sensei! I told him not to do it but he wouldn't listen! I'd never do something like that!" Sakura tried apologizing in an attempt to save her ass.

"Kissass." Cynthia Rose, Flo and Amy all rolled their eyes as they were the Bellas who disliked Sakura the most.

"He actually fell for that cheap trap? Is this guy really a jonin?" Sasuke asked in disbelief.

"Hmm…how can I put this? My first impression of this group? You're a bunch of idiots!" Kakashi smiled as the Bellas all snickered at Team Seven's expressions.

Eventually the team met on the roof where they had to discuss their dream for the future and what not.

"Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant ramen in a cup and I really like the ramen Iruka-Sensei got me at the Ichiraku Noodle Shop. But I hate the three minutes you have to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. My hobby is eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody! Somebody important!" Naruto triumphantly finished as the Bellas smiled at Naruto.

"Darn right they will." Emily smiled.

"Although most of what he said in that was just how much he loved ramen." Aubrey snorted before it was Sakura's turn to introduce herself.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like uh…I mean the person I like is…." Sakura squealed as the Bellas all rolled their eyes.

"And what do you hate?" Kakashi asked, seemingly sharing the watching Bellas' irritation.

"NARUTO!" Sakura bluntly stated making Naruto nearly fall over comically.

"And I'm the one who'd be deported." Flo stated bitterly not understanding why someone like Naruto would ever like someone like her.

"Well she has a big ass forehead anyways so what can you expect? Normal people like us have dreams, she has movies." Amy bluntly stated as it was finally Sasuke's turn to introduce himself.

"My name….is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything." Sasuke began as the Bellas all looked at the boy with expressions of curiousity.

"Ooh~ Bad boy, huh?" Chloe asked with amusement present in her tone.

"Not like I haven't dated one of them before." Stacie shrugged as Sasuke continued.

"What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan…and destroy a certain someone." Sasuke stated as the Bellas could only stare at the boy curiously and disturbed that such a young boy who looked no older than twelve would want to commit murder of another person. Yes he was a ninja but still.

"…And I thought Sasuke was weird before…" Emily muttered.

"Who does he want to kill?" Jessica asked before deciding these memories would later reveal the object of Sasuke's vendetta.

Kakashi then assigned the team a special training exercise as they were to meet at the Training Grounds at Five AM and the Bellas were amused that of everyone Sasuke appeared to be the most awake of anyone. Eventually Kakashi made his way to the training field where Kakashi pulled out two bells.

"Your assignment is very simple. You just have to take these bells from me. That's all there is to it. But if you can't get them by noon, you go without lunch. You'll be tied to those posts and you'll watch as I eat my lunch in front of you." Kakashi said before the stomachs of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura all growled in hunger as the Bellas sans Emily also tensed, remembering how Aubrey had everyone skip breakfast before one Bella practice and kept their lunches hostage from them and wouldn't let them eat until they nailed their drills.

Try as they might, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura couldn't get a bell and with empty stomachs and broken spirits, the alarm bell went off. However, seemingly taking pity on the three Kakashi decided to give the team one last chance. The catch? Naruto couldn't have any lunch due to trying to sneak off with the lunches prior hand. And so the Bellas were forced to listen to the sounds of Naruto's stomach groaning through the memory.

"This is no big deal! I can go without eating for days, for weeks, believe it! This is no big deal!" Naruto yelled as his stomach betrayed him.

"Oh yeah? Because your stomach sure says otherwise." Amy dryly said as she and the other Bellas were growing tired of hearing the sound of Naruto's stomach growling. Though…with all the food they've seen in these memories so far, they were starting to get hungry themselves.

Before anyone knew anything, Sasuke suddenly offered his box lunch to Naruto.

"Sasuke?" Aubrey and Emily asked as Sakura also looked uncertain at her teammate.

"Kakashi's gone. We need to get those bells as a team. If Naruto's hungry, he'll be weak and ineffective. That hurts the team and jeopardizes the mission." Sasuke said as Chloe and the other Bellas all smiled at the Uchiha as they felt a new respect for him growing.

"Aww~! Sasuke's one big softy under that rocky edge." Chloe giggled.

However as Sakura followed Sasuke's suit, out popped a very pissed off Kakashi.

"YOU! You broke the rules! I hope you're ready for the punishment!" Kakashi yelled before apparently summoning a thunderstorm as the skies and clouds above darkened.

"Is he gonna kill them!?" Beca asked, nearly falling over while Team Seven managed to stay their ground.

"You said there were three of us! That's what you said! And that's why Sakura and-"Naruto started off.

"We're all on this squad and we're all in this together!" Sasuke added in support of Naruto.

"Yeah that's right! We gave our lunch to him because the three of us are one!" Sakura spat as the Bellas all blinked as their newfound teamwork reminded The Bellas of them.

"Those kids…." Ashley managed a small smile as Kakashi cocked his head back.

"The three of you are one? That's your answer?" Kakashi asked as Team Seven all glared defiantly at him before he suddenly smiled before saying the following words, "You pass!"

"…..Huh?" All the Bellas muttered at the same time as Team Seven were just as confused.

"You're the first squad that ever succeeded. The others did exactly what I said and fell into every trap. They couldn't think for themselves. 'A ninja must see through deception'. In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum, that's true. But those who abandon their friends are worst than scum." Kakashi explained as the Bellas found a brand new respect for the scarecrow lookalike.

"He sure is right though….teamwork is important…it's how we were able to win the Worlds'." Chloe noted as the girls all realized she was right. The Bellas only won because they had each other.

"This guy is actually kinda cool!" Emily grinned as the other Bellas all stated similar sounds of agreement.

"He's definitely the most ninja looking." Beca snorted as the Bellas watched as the newly formed Team Seven went on all sorts of mundane missions before they were assigned a mission that really caught the Bellas' interest. Escorting a bridge builder back to his home but along the way the team were intercepted by the Rogue Ninja, Zabuza Momochi. At first the team were overwhelmed and Naruto was slowly stricken in fear before he suddenly found his second wind.

"Hey you…the freak with no eyebrows. Put this in your bingo book…the ninja that will become Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He never backs down. His name's Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto smirked despite the blood trailing down his chin.

"Go Naruto!" Emily and Stacie cheered.

"Kick his mummy looking like ass!" Amy and Cynthia Rose cheered.

"Now, let's go wild!" Naruto said as he quickly got Sasuke's attention as the two were able to actually talk without flipping out on each other as Zabuza were suddenly on the two as Zabuza was able to knock down Sasuke with ease with a sharp hook to his chest, making him spit blood.

"Sasuke!" Chloe, Ashley and Jessica all yelled as Naruto was quick to summon shadow clones as they all tackled him before they were easily cut through.

"He's cutting through them like butter…" Aubrey muttered, slightly fearful as Naruto quickly dug into his backpack.

"I'm not giving up, I've still got this! Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he threw Sasuke an object that he immediately caught.

"So that was his plan? Not bad Naruto." Sasuke smirked as Ashley and Jessica blinked. The way they were able to communicate without even using words was just like how the two of them were with each other.

"Demon Wind Shuriken! Windmill of Shadows!" Sasuke yelled as he immediately threw the Shuriken at the water clown which missed him although it was revealed his plan was to nail the real Zabuza, as the plan worked in freeing Kakashi from his water prison as the real Zabuza was nicked in the face with a kunai courtesy of Naruto.

"Man…they may fight like cats and dogs but they make a damn good team!" Emily remarked as the Bellas were just as impressed as the Legacy.

"Yeah…reminds me of another duo." Chloe smirked as everyone turned to look at Aubrey and Beca.

"What?" Aubrey and Beca asked as Chloe and everyone else all shrugged in response.

"Nothin'." Everyone answered as with the help of a masked ally, Zabuza was eventually killed. Or so everyone thought before Kakashi came to the assumption their ally may have in actuality been their enemy and so Team Seven engaged in Chakra Control training.

With the help of Sakura, Naruto was able to get the hang of tree walking with no hands and right when he was gonna try again…

"Hey! Naruto!" Sasuke suddenly called out, making Naruto fall on his face as the Bellas all sniggered at Naruto's plight.

"Sasuke! What're you doing!?" Naruto demanded as Sasuke turned away with a blush.

"What is wrong with him?" Aubrey laughed as the expression on Sasuke's face as this was the first time she and the other Bellas had seen emotions on Sasuke's face.

"…Y-you know…you asked Sakura for advice when she was here? So…what did she tell you?" Sasuke muttered as the Bellas were all just shamelessly laughing at Sasuke.

"I'm sorry but his face!" Jessica had to wipe a tear from her eye.

"Him blushing is too cute!" Emily added as Naruto smirked before scoffing.

"Not telling you!" Naruto spat as Sasuke turned to Naruto with a twitch in his eye.

"You know, Naruto and Sasuke are kinda like how Aubrey and Beca used to be." Flo noted as the other Bellas all nodded in agreement.

Well everyone save for Aubrey and Beca.

"Huh!? What do you mean!?" Beca demanded.

"The same way you and Bree went at each other, it's the same with Naruto and Sasuke." Ashley agreed much to the outrage of Aubrey and Beca.

"I have to say Bree's like Naruto and Beca's like Sasuke." Chloe said as mostly everyone agreed with Chloe, keyword, mostly.

"The only similarity I have with Naruto is blonde hair and blue eyes! Other than that, we're polar opposites!" Aubrey yelled.

"And I have more personality than Sasuke!" Beca yelled as everyone's silence told the two what the Bellas really thought of the two.

Eventually the time for training was done as the team battled against Zabuza along with his disciple Haku at the bridge Tazuna was building. However…right as Haku was getting the upper hand on Naruto and Sasuke, the Bellas and Naruto looked to see Haku on the ground with Sasuke standing above Naruto.

"…You always…get in the way Naruto…it…never fails…" Sasuke muttered as Naruto was barely able to open his eyes.

"Ahaha! You beat him, Sasuke!" Naruto cheered before the Bellas and Naruto soon noticed Sasuke covered in senbon needles as the ground below him was stained in blood.

"…What just happened?" Emily gulped as the Bellas were just as shocked as the Legacy.

"…Don't tell me…" Stacie gasped in horror, having a good idea at what may have happened.

"Ugh…y-you should see the look on your face…you look like a total loser…" Sasuke weakly smiled despite the pain he was in.

Jessica and Ashley were quick to fall into tears along with Chloe and Emily while the others were just too stunned for words. Had Sasuke literally sacrificed himself?

"…W-why did you save me? Why did you do it? I…I didn't ask for it! I didn't ask for you to save me!" Naruto yelled as he sounded close to tears but he wouldn't cry. He couldn't!

"…I dunno know….My body just moved…there was no time to think….loser…." Sasuke was slowly falling.

"Catch him!" Emily, Chloe, Ashley and Jessica all yelled as Naruto did just that. However the Bellas all had their hearts drop as they noticed the glazed over look in Sasuke's eye. They knew it…this was the end….

"H-he's…still out there….my brother…..I promised myself…I'd stay alive…until…I killed him…." Sasuke admitted in what looked like his last moments.

"Wait, his brother? But why?" Emily asked through her tears as Sasuke turned his head to his friend weakly.

"Naruto…don't…let…your dreams…die…" Sasuke muttered before his body went still as his eyes closed.

"Aca-Scuse me!?" Aubrey asked as tears fell from her eyes as the majority of the other Bellas were also openly crying for the fallen Uchiha as only a handful, and really a handful, had dry eyes although their hearts hurt just as much as the Bellas. And this was nothing compared to what Naruto was feeling as the Bellas saw flashes of the different times the two shared before an ominous red chakra suddenly surrounded Naruto as the chakra made an outline of a fox.

"Is that…Kurama?" Emily asked, wiping her tears before the memory turned a light red.

"What's wrong with the memory?" Chloe asked, her eyes wet with tears.

"It must be his power…or something!" Beca noted before the girls watched and noted as Naruto's features became much more feral as he easily dominated Haku and thankfully the colors of the memory returned to normal before Haku sacrificed himself in a last ditch effort to save the rogue ninja from Kakashi's wrath. However, as Zabuza was revealed to have been betrayed by the man who betrayed him, Zabuza had revealed that despite all their time together, Haku was nothing but a tool to him.

"I can't believe this guy…how can anyone be so cold?" Ashley asked. Despite hating Haku for killing Sasuke, she realized he only did that in order to stay loyal to Zabuza.

"Why you…you ungrateful! After everything he did for you! Haku lived for you! You were the most important thing in the world to him! And he meant nothing to you!? Nothing at all!? While he was sacrificing everything for you, you never felt anything for him!? And if I become stronger, does that mean I'll become as cold-hearted as you are! He threw his life away and for what!? For you and your dream! You never let him have a dream of his own but he didn't care and you just tossed him aside like a broken tool! And that's just wrong!" Naruto yelled as he couldn't stop the tears from falling from his eyes as the other Bellas, even the more hardened ones, couldn't stop crying from Naruto's words. His words…were like a jutsu in of themselves.

"Okay….this guy…" Amy bit her lips.

"What's with Zabuza?" Emily asked through her tears as she noticed Zabuza trembling, a sign he too was affected by Naruto's words.

"Your words…your words cut deep…deeper than any blade….." Zabuza muttered although the Bellas noted even he was in tears.

"…I guess….even Zabuza cared about Haku through all that crap…" Chloe tried composing herself through her tears as Zabuza, with the help of Naruto's kunai, dominated a good deal of Gato's men as Gato met a very gruesome end that ended with his head literally flying off his body, making most of the Bellas cringe at the gruesome sight.

"Talk about edgy…" Beca muttered.

"I could've done that…" Lilly muttered, as no one felt like dignifying her before the Bellas all received the news that Sasuke had survived, news that nearly made a good deal of the Bellas all cry in happiness.

With their mission done and noting their immense progress, Kakashi had recommended Team Seven for the Chunin Exams, a process that moves Genin to the ranks of Chunin. First came the Written Exam where the ones unfit to be Chunin were weeded out. Just when it looked like things would be too much for the blonde…

"Don't underestimate me! I don't quit and I don't run! You can act tough all you want but you guys aren't going to scare me off! No way! I don't care if I do get stuck as a Genin for the rest of my life, I'll still be Hokage someday!" Naruto declared, slamming his hand on the desk below as the Bellas all had bemused expressions on their face.

"That's my Naruto. Always crazy." Emily giggled.

"And it's because he's crazy, I can't think of a better guy for you, Em." Beca smiled as the Bellas and Emily all laughed, reassuring her it was all in good fun.

That was enough to motivate everyone as everyone had passed the first stages of the Chunin Exams before the second stage of the Chunin Exams involved getting two different scrolls and despite having a very soundly interruption with the creep known as Orochimaru as well as another team that literally blended in with the environment, Team Seven eventually traversed through the forest of death before the third stage of the exams were revealed to be a Preliminary round between the teams that were left over.

Sasuke was able to win his match against a creep named Yoroi whereas Sakura's match was ended in a draw between her and her childhood friend, Ino Yamanaka. Soon it was Naruto's turn and he was pitted against Kiba of the Inuzuza Clan and while the match was going against Naruto's favor at first, eventually the tide began to turn in his direction.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu! Okay! The way you've torn me apart up until now, I'll give it back all at once! Na-Ru-To!" Naruto yelled as he and three other clones all kicked up the Inuzuka before Naruto's fist collided with Kiba skull, "UZUMAKI BARRAGE!", effectively ended the match, declaring Naruto the winner.

"YES!" All the Barden Bellas cheered with some select groups even hugging, these include Beca and Chloe, Stacie and Emily and Ashley and Jessica.

Soon the Bellas watched with interest as the lazy Shikamaru was able to outsmart and win against the resourceful Kin, grimaced when the very creepy Shino won his match by literally blowing off one of Zaku's arms, cringed when Kankuro won his match, were unnerved when Tenten had been brutally defeated by the cunning Temari, watched with disgust as how Hinata, someone the Bellas grew to really care for, was nearly killed by her cousin Neji, were heartbroken when Rock Lee had not only lost against the strange Gaara but had his career as a ninja seemingly in Jeopardy and were unsurprised with how unceremoniously Choji had lost against the mummified looking Dosu. Eventually the winners of the prelims were grouped in a Final Tournament with Naruto being pitted against Neji.

While training with someone that the Bellas found to be a complete joke, it had been during the training at the Hot Springs were a bizarre meeting had occurred for a lack of better words.

"Hmph, are you peeping in the woman's bathroom old man!? I will not allow any disreputable behavior!" Ebisu yelled in an attempt to stop this old pervert's peeking before a tongue from a toad had wrapped around his mid-section.

"Okay…I'm still not used to all these summonings…" Emily muttered.

"You're telling me." Beca agreed as the other Bellas all cringed at how long the toad's tongue was.

"Oh please." The man known as Jiraiya muttered before Ebisu was completely slammed to the ground below, knocking the man clean the hell out.

"What's wrong with you? Keep it down. Are you trying to get us busted you idiot?" Jiraiya asked, annoyance heavily in his voice.

The Bellas could only stare at the Toad Sage in speechless silence.

"….Who…is this…perv?" Aubrey muttered.

"I think this guy might be a bigger perv than Kakashi and that Ebisu guy put together!" Ashley noted as once proper greetings had been made and after a montage of shenanigans, Jiraiya had finally agreed to train Naruto to summon frogs, although this proved to be easier said than done as Naruto could only summon tadpoles. One day, Jiraiya had literally decided to make Naruto stare death in the face as he shoved Naruto straight off of a cliff.

"IS HE CRAZY!?" Nearly all the Bellas yelled.

"And he can't even grip those rocks!" Emily was ready to rip her hair out before the scene suddenly shifted as the Bellas found themselves in a familiar place resembling a sewer.

"Wait…is this where Kurama is?" Ashley asked.

"I guess this is when they finally meet." Jessica shrugged as the girls followed Naruto to where a giant cage was and right behind it stood the face of none other than the Nine Tails. His sudden appearance, coupled with the evil, devilish gleam in his eyes nearly made all the girls scream and fall back in fright.

"Wait, that's Kurama? Why does he look so…evil?" Aubrey asked.

"….Guess we'll see…" Beca nervously gulped.

"Come closer….little boy…" Kurama gleamed as the girls all cringed at the tone in his voice as if Kurama was willing to actually eat Naruto.

"Uh, yeah, no thanks." Cynthia Rose muttered as Naruto did so before Kurama's claws made him fall on his face in fright.

"How wonderful it would be to eat and kill you. But this accursed gate confines me. It's that infuriating sealing spell." Kurama gleamed as the girls all nervously gulped at the evilness of Kurama. What changed?

"Y-you're the-Nine Tailed Fox!" Naruto stammered in fear as Kurama smirked at Naruto remembering his name.

"Why are you here, foolish boy? What do you want? Or have you simply come to offer yourself to me so I might feast upon your marrow?" Kurama's eyes widened as he glared at the young boy.

"…I sure hope not…" Chloe gulped as Naruto suddenly stood tall as he suddenly found his confidence.

"Alright, look you stupid fox! You're in my body and you owe me rent so for payment I'll take your chakra! You got that!?" Naruto demanded as the Bellas didn't know whether to be impressed or dumbfounded.

"T-that's telling him!" Emily said as she seemed to remember that Naruto and Kurama became friends in the future as Kurama was able to grant Naruto's wish before the Bellas found themselves back in the real world as Naruto was actually able to summon a frog! A big one at that!

"Ugh! Where in the world am I, ah!?" Gamabunta yelled as the Bellas just stared at the toad with wide, blank eyes.

"…Something tells me we'll be seeing more bizarre stuff the farther we go down these memories…" Emily muttered as the Bellas all weakly nodded.

Soon the days of the Final Exams rolled around as Naruto stood face to face against Neji Hyuga, the rookie of last year.

"This guy's attitude sure stinks." Chloe scowled as she didn't like the arrogant look on Neji's face.

"You got anything to say to me?" Neji asked as Naruto merely stuck her arm out while balling his fist as he glared at the Hyuga.

"Only what I said last time. I vow to win!" Naruto demanded as the Bellas were quick to start cheering for Naruto.

"Go Naruto!" Emily, Flo, Stacie, Chloe, Ashley and Jessica all cheered for Naruto.

"Kick his pretty boy ass!" Cynthia Rose and Amy cheered.

"Kick him in the dick…" Lilly muttered though no one heard her, of course.

The vow to win was however easier said than done in Naruto's case though with the help of Kurama, Naruto was finally able to overcome the Hyuga prodigy.

"Ugh…I should have guessed you used the Shadow Clone Jutsu…it's your specialty after all…I was careless…" Neji spat in disdain as Naruto merely chuckled at the Hyuga.

"You know, for the record, I failed the graduation exam three times because there was this one jutsu that was always on the exam. And it tripped me up every time. It was the one jutsu that I just couldn't master. My clones were pathetic…that's right. I flunked the clone jutsu every single time. So don't come whining to me with this destiny stuff and stop trying to tell me you can't change who you are! You can do it to because unlike me, you're not a failure!" Naruto stated as the Bellas' respect for Naruto only grew if that was possible.

"Naruto…" Emily was quick to tear up as Stacie put a comforting hand on her shoulder as she smiled at her.

"The winner…is Naruto Uzumaki!" Genma announced as the Bellas all cheered and some even hugged.

However, the time for celebrations was short lived as a joint invasion from both the Sand and Sound Village had invaded the Leaf Village with Naruto and his team having to go after Gaara who was the main ringer in the invasion. With a combination of literal blood, sweat and tears, Naruto was finally able to defeat Gaara.

However, even with the two exhausted with their foreheads practically split open, Naruto slowly crept over to where Gaara was.

"He's exhausted…but he's still going?" Emily asked.

"He must want to make sure that Gaara guy can't try anymore shit." Amy said as Gaara could only look at Naruto in fear as the Bellas saw flashes of Naruto's past as it turned out Naruto had finally found someone in the world who was just like him.

"…It's almost unbearable isn't it? The feeling of being all alone…I know that feeling…I've been there…in that dark and lonely place. But now there are other…other people who mean a lot to me. I care more about them than I do myself…and I won't let anyone hurt them….I'll do anything I can to stop you and I will…even if I have to kill you!" Naruto threated with a dark look in his eyes as the Bellas couldn't believe it. Someone as bright as Naruto wanting to kill?

"…Naruto's too soft to kill…" Lilly murmured as the Bellas couldn't disagree with her.

"But why!? Why would you do this for anyone but yourself?" Gaara could only question as tears fell from Naruto's eyes.

"Because they saved me from myself. They rescued me from my loneliness. They were the first to accept me for who I am. They're my friends!" Naruto declared as the Bellas found themselves teary-eyed at Naruto's words.

"Oh Naruto…You're not alone anymore!" Emily smiled as the Bellas also smiled. They too considered Naruto a friend despite not even knowing him for a fool day. These memories showed the Bellas he was one hell of a person.

"And he has one heck of a girlfriend, Legacy." Amy teasingly smiled as Emily turned red.

"We're not even together yet!" Emily spat as the Bellas all laughed at Emily's expense. Teasing her was just too much fun.

However, their feelings of amusement wouldn't last long as they were all heartbroken that Hiruzen had sacrificed his life to stop Orochimaru although this didn't deter Naruto for long as he and Jiraiya went off in search of the Fifth Hokage, a woman nominated by the name of Tsunade. Along the way…Naruto soon found himself in trouble….A knock on the door and Naruto was suddenly face to face with two new men. One resembled a literal shark while the other was the equivalent of an older Sasuke.

"….Is that…Sasuke's older brother?" Stacie asked.

"I think so." Flo answered before the two men asked for Naruto to come out of his room which he reluctantly did so. But as soon as he did…

"It's been a long time….Sasuke." The Sasuke lookalike said as Sasuke scowled at him.

"Itachi Uchiha." Sasuke spat as the girls could hear the hatred in his tongue.

"Sasuke? I've never heard him sound so…" Emily couldn't fathom the words.

"Full of hate?" Aubrey noted as Emily could only nod.

"Itachi, he looks an awful lot like you. Who is this kid?" Kisame asked as Itachi merely stared forward.

"He's my younger brother." Itachi confirmed Stacie's suspicions.

"Well that's strange because the way I heard it, the whole Uchiha Clan was wiped out. By you." Kisame smiled as the Bellas couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"Wait a freaking second!? You're saying this Itachi guy killed his and Sasuke's own parents? Why?" Beca asked, not believing anyone could be so evil.

"Itachi Uchiha, I hope you're ready to die….It's just as you said…brother… I've fostered my hatred for you all this time. I've lived my life for one single purpose….TO SEE YOU DIE! IT ENDS HERE!" Sasuke roared as his Chidori was the most visible that the Bellas had ever seen.

"Sasuke! That move is literally ripping the skin from his arm!" Ashley covered her mouth with her hands as Itachi stared at Sasuke in disinterest as he literally swatted Sasuke's attack away. It was then followed by Itachi mercilessly beating Sasuke before he literally mind-raped Sasuke, knocking out Sasuke much to the Bellas' anger before he was able to escape with his partner as Naruto and Jiraiya then made it a point to really go after Tsunade so she could not only heal Sasuke but Kakashi too who had also been revealed to have been attacked and hurt by Itachi.

However….getting her to agree was a lot easier said than done.

"To think Miss Tsunade still looks the same so many years later from when I last saw her…" Emily muttered as the Bellas stared at the Legacy in surprise.

"Wait, you know Tsunade?" Chloe asked as Emily smiled.

"Yeah, she and my mom would hang out from time to time." Emily smiled in nostalgia as the Bellas could hardly believe what they were hearing. And they couldn't believe that such a drunkard was actually considered to be Hokage material?

"Ha, playing at Hokage? Count me out. It's a fool game!" Tsunade spat as that was enough to set off Naruto before the two quickly made a bet. If Naruto could master the Rasengan, a jutsu learned by the Fourth Hokage, within a week, Tsunade would come back as Hokage.

Though as Naruto trained to learn the jutsu, Orochimaru and Kabuto had set their sights on the beautiful blonde and an epic battle ensued with Naruto not giving up against Kabuto despite being unmatched.

"Still haven't had enough?" Kabuto growled as Naruto stubbornly stood up as he made a hand sign.

"Damn right he ain't so quick his four eyed ass!" Cynthia Rose yelled to Naruto.

"Get ready to pay up on our bet. That cursed necklace of yours is about to be mine. Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled, summoning a Shadow Clone by his side.

"He's gonna do it!" Emily pumped her fists as she knew this was the moment when Naruto would do the Rasengan. How did she know? Just a hunch.

"I warned you not to be stubborn but now you die! You've just thrown it all away! Dreams won't come true when you're dead!" Kabuto yelled pulling out his special kunai as he charged straight at Naruto who looked undeterred as the Bellas watching for some reason didn't feel worried also. They also felt what Emily felt.

"Just get out of the way Naruto! No look out!" Tsunade yelled as Naruto merely smirked.

"Heh, don't worry about me!" Naruto grinned before Kabuto's kunai impaled Naruto straight through his hand as Chloe, Emily, Stacie, Ashley and Jessica all cringed as blood splattered over Naruto's face.

"Until I become Hokage, I don't care what happens, I'm not gonna die!" Naruto vowed.

"YEAH!" All the Bellas cheered as Naruto was able to perform the blue, spherical jutsu before Naruto slammed the jutsu against Kabuto's chest.

"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as Kabuto was sent flying into the rocky Cliffside behind him.

"I'm so happy I could hug you!" Emily grinned before remembering this was a memory. However, the feeling of victory was short lived as it turned out Kabuto had struck at Naruto's heart much to the Bellas' and especially Emily's horror but thankfully Tsunade was able to save Naruto but this didn't stop Orochimaru from trying to assassinate the young boy and after finding her resolve, Tsunade found something new to fight for.

"I finally remembered something. I've been chosen as the Fifth Hokage of the Leaf Village!" Tsunade smirked as the seal of her forward suddenly grew as black markings covered her body.

"Way to go Tsunade!" Ashley and Jessica cheered.

"But what're those markings?" Aubrey, Emily and Stacie asked as Orochimaru merely smirked.

"Hmph, you may have conquered your inner weakness but what about the rest of you? You can hardly expect to defeat me in your condition." Orochimaru jeered as the Bellas were growing tired of this snake asshole.

"Can Tsunade just one-shot this asshole already?" Beca asked in annoyance as Tsunade made a hand sign.

"Reverse Seal Reverse! Ninja Art, Mitonic Regeneration!" Tsunade said as the wounds on her body slowly healed and disappeared, leaving nothing but blood remaining.

"Whoa, now that's cool. I wish I had that." Flo whistled.

"With this chakra reservoir, my body's ability to create new cells is accelerated. The cells divide rapidly, spreading throughout my body and regenerating any damaged organs. It's like having the ability to reincarnate myself. You see, you can slash away at me all you like but I can't be killed." Tsunade smiled.

"Talk about a nifty ability!" Emily whistled.

"I'll say." Chloe agreed with the rest of the Bellas eager to see Tsunade kill Orochimaru however like the saying goes, we can't all get what we want as Orochimaru was able to live to fight another day but thankfully the Leaf Village had gotten a new Hokage as Sasuke and Kakashi were healed from their injuries and so the Bellas would watch as Team Seven were assigned various missions such as going to the Waterfall Village and helping its village head Shibuki, going to the Land of Snow and helping out the famous actress Koyuki Kazehana and even having a village to the Land of Tea and it seemed things were going back to normal.

….Or so all the college girls thought.

One day upon visiting Sasuke who was hospitalized after the Land of Tea mission, Sasuke fixed Naruto with a deadly glare, one that put Naruto, Sakura and the Bellas on edge.

"…What's with Sasuke?" Amy asked.

"…I'm not sure I wanna know…" Emily muttered.

"Naruto. I want you to fight me!" Sasuke demanded much to the shock of everyone present.

"What!? Is he crazy!? Fighting in a hospital!?" Chloe asked, wishing she could go into that memory and literally knock some sense into Sasuke.

"What? You just got patched up by Granny Tsunade…what're you talking about?" Naruto looked just confused as Sasuke activated his Sharingan.

"SHUT UP AND FIGHT!" Sasuke yelled, before getting out of bed and getting in Naruto's face.

"Do you think you saved me? I don't care if she is the Fifth Hokage. You shouldn't have gotten her involved in this!" Sasuke spat.

"What!?" Naruto demanded.

"After all, you did say you wanted to fight. Well now it looks like you've got your chance. That is…unless you've chickened out?" Sasuke smirked as the Bellas couldn't believe that they were hearing.

"Is Sasuke crazy!?" Cynthia Rose asked.

"Hey, Sasuke! Wait don't do this! Naruto, say something! This is crazy!" Sakura tried reasoning as Naruto lost his angry look as he smirked right back at Sasuke.

"Actually this is perfect! I was just thinking about how much I wanted to kick your butt!" Naruto smirked as the Bellas all collectively face-palmed as a small battle ensued that would have turned deadly, was it not for Kakashi's intervention. Although Naruto was quick to wave this incident off and proclaim that things would go back to normal, the Bellas couldn't stop feeling a sense of….foreboding.

Unfortunately their feelings were proven right as Shikamaru had quickly woken Naruto up the next morning to inform the blonde that Sasuke had unfortunately let the village, much to the Bellas' shock. How could shit have hit the fan?

As Naruto got over his shock, a team was assembled with Neji, Choji, Shikamaru, Kiba and obviously Naruto. However before the team could leave, the team was approached by a sullen looking Sakura.

"Sakura….is she…okay?" Chloe asked. Even if she wasn't a fan of her Sasuke obsession, her caring and kind nature would kick in as Sakura started to slowly sob as she wrapped her arms around her.

"Naruto….this is a…once in a lifetime request….just bring him home…please bring Sasuke back to me! I did everything that I could…..I tried….but I couldn't stop him from leaving the village….at this point…there's only one person who can stop him….Only one who can save him…Naruto…it's all up to you…." Sakura practically begged Naruto who looked at Sakura blankly before looking down with a pained smile. The Bellas' hearts, especially Emily's, all went out to the blonde as they knew throughout these memories that Naruto was in love with Sakura and for her to go out of her way to beg Naruto to bring back someone she loves that isn't him must no doubt be hard on Naruto's heart.

"Well gosh, Sakura…you must really care about Sakura, huh? I get it….I can see that deep down this must be really painful for you. I know you must be suffering…." Naruto admitted with a pained smile.

"Aww….he really loved her…." Jessica felt sympathy for Naruto.

"But even if she doesn't love him back…he just wants to make her happy…" Emily smiled despite the pain she was feeling. She hoped she wasn't a consolidation prize for Naruto….

"Don't you worry one bit! I'm gonna bring Sasuke back! I promise that on my life, Sakura!" Naruto grinned.

"Man talk about a sweetheart!" Cynthia Rose smiled.

"Naruto…thank you!" Sakura sobbed as Naruto and the team soon left after Sasuke and after the team had their own separate battles, Naruto was finally able to reach Sasuke. However…the Bellas didn't like the feeling they all felt. They had a feeling they were going to see something they wouldn't like…..

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled, hoping the Uchiha wouldn't run off again and would at least face him. However….as soon as Sasuke did so…

The Bellas and Naruto were shocked to see that the mark Sakura had told Sasuke received had completely covered the complete left side of his face.

"So it's you…hopeless little knucklehead." Sasuke stated, amusement present in his tone.

"Sasuke….what happened to…." Flo couldn't believe what she and the others were seeing.

"It's like…he's turned into that Orochimaru creep…" Aubrey gulped, having a feeling there was gonna be some bloodshed.

"So she sent you, huh? Hmph, look at you? What's with the angry face?" Sasuke smirked at Naruto breathless expression as the girls saw visions of all the happy times Team Seven shared before now.

"I will say this. My days of playing ninja with you kids in the leaf are done." Sasuke stated as obviously Naruto wouldn't stand for this and so the girls could only helplessly watch as the two former friends battled against each other and was even horrified that Sasuke would go as far as to impale Naruto's chest with his Chidori, a fit that would have killed Naruto, was it not for Kurama.

With the Nine Tails on his side now, Naruto dealt Sasuke several deadly hits as Sasuke found himself pinned to the Cliffside behind him.

"That's enough! Snap out of it, already! If you don't come to your senses then I'm just gonna have to break all of your bones and drag you back to the village so come on Sasuke!" Naruto begged as while the Bellas cringed at Naruto's word choices it was to be deserved with what Sasuke has done.

"J-just shut up for once….what the heck do you know about it…..It's not like you ever had a family in the first place! You were on your own right from the beginning! What makes you think you know anything about it huh!? I'm suffering because I have those ties! How on Earth could you possible understand how it feels to lose all that!?" Sasuke yelled as the Bellas could see all the loathing and anger Sasuke kept pent up as he tackled Naruto down to the water below where the two were on two opposing logs.

"Sasuke…I never thought….." Emily looked down.

"In some ways, he's how Naruto could have ended up if he never had Iruka…" Beca said a bit sadly.

"It's true…I have no idea what it's like…having parents…or a brother…but when I'm with Iruka-Sensei….I wonder…if that's what it feels like to have a father…and when I'm with you….I wonder…if that's what it feels like to have a brother…." Naruto admitted as the Bellas found themselves getting a bit teary-eyed at Naruto's monologue.

"Why Naruto? Why…would you go so far me?" Sasuke looked down, seemingly battling an internal demon.

"Because he loves you!" Chloe, Ashley and Jessica snapped.

"Because this is the first time….that I've ever had a bond like this!" Naruto managed to smile despite everything that happened, "And that's why….I'll do anything I can to stop you!"

Despite being touched…..Sasuke's mind was made up as he wrapped his headband around his head.

"It's too late Naruto….I can't turn back…" Sasuke stated as Chloe noticed something different in Sasuke's eyes.

"Did his Sharingan change again?" Chloe noted as Sasuke got in a defensive stance.

"Come, Naruto! If that's how it is, then I'll just have to sever that bond!" Sasuke said, much to the Bellas' disbelief.

"Oh come on, is he serious!?" Stacie ground out, tired of all this fighting.

"…Sever it just like that huh? Then why do you even bother wearing that headband anymore?" Naruto asked, his facial expression showing his rage.

"I'll admit it. You're definitely strong. It's because you know the pain that solitude brings. Just as I do. It's that very pain that makes you and I stronger Naruto. Which means if I can just break that bond…I'll be able to achieve even greater strength! It's time you and I had this out as equals. But you're still not gonna be able to lay even a scratch on my forehead. I know that hasn't changed at least! No more words! From here on it, we stick to fighting!" Sasuke yelled.

"God damn it!" Amy yelled.

"Just stop already, you dumbasses!" Aubrey yelled as the continued fighting in the memory, regardless if the Bellas shouted for them to stop or not. Eventually Naruto was able to unlock one tail of Kurama's power while Sasuke unlocked the second stage to his curse mark, something that creeped out everyone save for Lilly. Eventually….it was time for the battle to wrap up.

"I guess we're at the end then…the end of this fight…and all the fights we've had until now!" Sasuke yelled as he readied the hand signs for his Chidori while Naruto held out a hand for his Rasengan.

"This is it…One of them is gonna lose…." Aubrey bit her lip…

"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Emily questioned in dread as the two fighters lunged at each other as the girls could only hear the shouts of "CHIDORI/RASENGAN!"…Eventually a bright light enveloped the memory as the show died down as the girls all looked to see Sasuke standing over Naruto, a look of what looked to be like…regret? On his face?

"…What….happened?" Emily gulped.

"…Isn't it obvious? Naruto…lost…" Beca bit her lip as she and the others only watched helplessly as Sasuke walked off, leaving his headband behind as the Bellas were numb as they had watched…Naruto's first defeat.

"I can't believe it….Sasuke just left…" Ashley gulped down as despite everything he did….she grew to care for the young Avenger.

"I know…I really grew to care about Sasuke…." Chloe sadly looked down.

"We all did…" Stacie sighed as the girls watched as Naruto was thankfully saved by Kakashi and brought to the Leaf Village hospital that he was saved and as Naruto came to, he was approached by Sakura who checked Naruto's condition and made sure he was okay before leaving. But not without saying something that really surprised the Bellas.

"You may have to wait for me a little bit….but next time….I promise I won't be dead weight…" Sakura smiled before leaving as Naruto and the Bellas were nothing short of impressed as they had seen something different in Sakura's eyes.

"Well I'll be damned….I guess she's giving up the Sasuke fangirl phase." Amy joked as she and the other Bellas were relieved that Sakura was finally growing up. However before what Sakura said could fully set in, the Bellas saw as Naruto was approached by Jiraiya in his hospital window as the Toad Sage was quick to tell Naruto that Sasuke's body was safe from Orochimaru for three years, much to the Bellas' relief. However before Naruto could get too happy…

"Forget Sasuke. You can't help him so just forget him." Jiraiya said as the Bellas were shocked at what Jiraiya said, they knew he would have a point to what he was saying.

"Sasuke went to Orochimaru of his own free will. No matter what you do, he will not change. I've seen many Shinobi so I know the type…Orochimaru and Sasuke are cut from the same cloth…Don't delude yourself into thinking that you can bring him back. You can't. It's a fool's errand.

"He didn't have to put it that way…" Emily muttered.

"Like it or not, he does have a point. Sasuke betrayed everyone….and even tried killing Naruto…" Beca sighed as the other Bellas looked down, realizing he was right.

"It may be easy for you to give up on him Pervy Sage but I can't! He may mean nothing to you but he's my friend!" Naruto argued as Jiraiya was quick to glare at him.

"Idiot! Just take a good look at the condition that you're in and he's the one who did it to you! Was that the work of a friend!?" Jiraiya yelled as that was enough to humble Naruto as he looked down while Jiraiya also looked down, seemingly in thought before deciding to speak again.

"If you insist on going after Sasuke then you'll get no training from me. I'll have the Anbu Black Ops assigned to guard you, to prevent you from leaving the village! You're not just some ordinary kid, you've got something inside of you that the Akatsuki want, the Nine Tailed Fox! But if you're going to behave like a kid and not listen to what I say to say then I'll do what I have to do. Eventually you'll face enemies far worse than Orochimaru and it's time you started preparing for them. The first thing is for you to give up on Sasuke. What happened was destined to happen. Dismiss him from your mind and move on. To be a Shinobi, you need more than strength and jutsu. You must become smarter. The longer you remain a fool, the harder it'll be for you to live in this world." Jiraiya finished as the Bellas all looked down at Jiraiya's words. As much as they all loved Sasuke, they knew Jiraiya was right.

"Jiraiya's right…" Amy sighed as Naruto suddenly spoke.

"Fine then…if being smarter means what you say it does then I'll remain a fool my entire life!" Naruto declared as both the Bellas and Jiraiya couldn't believe what Naruto was saying but at the same time they weren't surprised. This was Naruto after all.

"I'm going after him and I'll do it on my own if I have to! I'll create my own powerful jutsu and whenever the Akatsuki show up, I'll smack 'em down!" Naruto vowed with the utmost certainty in his voice as the Bellas couldn't help but smile and laugh at Naruto.

"Naruto…is definitely insane." Jessica smiled as she shook her head.

"But I have a feeling Naruto can definitely do it. He can save Sasuke and bring him back!" Emily smiled.

"He's crazy but that's why you're head over heels for him, right Legacy?" Amy smirked as Emily turned red as Jiraiya merely shook his head before not facing Naruto though everyone could tell even Jiraiya was impressed with Naruto's resolve.

"The thought of me leaving you to come up with jutsu on your own like that idiotic sexy jutsu of yours is too depressing. This is more than foolish…it's so colossally foolish…it might even work…we've got a lot of work when you get out of the hospital so be ready to hit the ground running! See you then." Jiraiya grinned.

"You got it!" Naruto beamed with a salute as his wounds did eventually heal and so the Bellas watched as Naruto went on mission after mission before one day…something bizarre happened…for a lack of better words as Naruto was suddenly running before bumping into someone. As the Bellas chased after him, their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as they saw just what Naruto had bumped into. It wasn't the fact that it was a person that surprised them but rather what the person looked like. It was a kid around Naruto's age with spiky blonde hair, blue eyes although he had two whiskers on his cheek unlike Naruto and he wore a red vest with a long sleeved light blue shirt underneath with dark blue shorts and similar ninja sandals.

"Wait a second! Did Naruto do a clone?" Stacie pointed as the Bellas all furrowed their brows in confusion.

"Not that I saw." Chloe said as the boy was quick to rub his aching head.

"Damn it! Watch where you're going, ya know!" The boy yelled.

"Wait, did he just say, 'ya know'?" Beca asked.

"His hair looks like a pair of bananas." Amy bluntly stated.

"Oh my god, you're right!" Ashley nearly spazzed out.

"Who is this kid?" Emily asked as Naruto appeared just as irritated.

"What'd you say? That's my line! You shouldn't be standing around here all spaced out!" Naruto yelled as the two picked each other up before staring at each other in both confusion and bewilderment.

"D-Dad!" The boy yelled as the Bellas' eyes all bulged out.

"DAD!?" All the Bellas exclaimed.

"Wait a second! How can this kid be Naruto's son? They look the same age!" Beca nearly fell back as Lilly came to a conclusion.

"Maybe he's from the future?" Lilly suggested as everyone stared at her like she was even more crazy than they originally thought. At first they stared at her warily before they noticed the man by the boy. Despite the bang covering his eye and his ridiculous outfit, it was clear who this man was given his facial features.

"Wait…is that…Sasuke?" Aubrey asked as the girls looked at the man before noticing Aubrey was indeed right.

"Oh my god it is! Talk about a growth spurt…" Stacie muttered as Sasuke had easily shot up two feet from the last memory they saw him in.

"Wait does that mean Naruto was able to bring him back?" Flo asked.

"I guess we'll have to see. I doubt Naruto's son would trust someone who was still unloyal to the village if they're together." Chloe assumed as she and the Bellas decided they would have to believe Lilly's insane theory as Amy smirked at the Legacy.

"Oh my god! To think Naruto and Legacy were able to make a kid!" Amy grinned as Emily's cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

"What!?" Emily asked as the girls all caught onto Emily's thoughts.

"So Em, what would you name yours and Naruto's kid?" Ashley grinned, locking her arm in Emily's as she easily broke out her grip.

"Now hold on! We don't even know who this kid's mom is!" Emily argued.

"Mmhmm~" All the Bellas rolled their eyes as Emily looked down in embarrassment and angry.

"But man! If that's how Sasuke looks when he's older, I wouldn't mind turning straight for that!" Cynthia Rose exclaimed in glee, disregarding the bizarre looks she received.

Once the shock of everything wore off, the Bellas watched as Naruto and Jiraiya were assigned a mission of having to keep watch and make sure the mysterious boy and the older version of Sasuke weren't threats to the Leaf Village, or rather Naruto was as Jiraiya quickly scurried off. After a meeting with Sakura, showing how the two boys were practically twins, the two eventually reached Naruto's apartment.

"By the way, I didn't catch your name." Naruto said.

"It's Boruto." The boy as Boruto answered as the Bellas looked puzzled at such a bizarre name.

"…Boruto?" All the Bellas asked in confusion.

"Yo Legacy, why would you name your kid Boruto?" Amy asked, this something everyone else needed.

"Like I said, we don't even know if this kid is mine from the future!" Emily yelled, getting a bit annoyed that no one seemed to be paying attention.

"Boruto? Nice to meet you. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, ya know!" Naruto grinned before letting the two in. As Boruto suddenly got hungry, Naruto decided to make a feast of sorts for the boy as he set down two ramen cups for Boruto. Although the Bellas were quick to laugh at Boruto's unenthusiastic face at the ramen.

"Looks like Boruto isn't a ramen junkie like his dad!" Chloe giggled before the look in Boruto's eyes suddenly changed as he was suddenly enjoying the ramen Naruto had offered him. As the two went to sleep, Naruto decided to have a small talk with Boruto.

"Hey, you awake?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah." Boruto said.

"Is that guy your dad?" Naruto asked as Boruto looked to the ceiling.

"No, he's my master." Boruto shrugged as Naruto also shrugged.

"So Naruto's kid being trained by his best friend. If that's not irony…" Ashley giggled.

"Yeah I figured. You don't look like him. So what's your dad like?" Naruto asked as Boruto's eyes softened at the mention of his dad.

"My dad is amazingly strong and it seems like everyone depends on him. He's really busy and doesn't get to come home a lot." Boruto explained as the girls could see that Naruto was really enjoying hearing Boruto talk about his dad.

"Oh is that right?" Naruto asked with curiosity.

"But when he is home I guess he's so exhausted that he's completely useless!" Boruto said with a snigger.

"Oh, what's that like?" Naruto tilted his head.

"On my little sister's birthday, we got a special cake all ready for her but my dad was so tired, he dropped the whole thing before we could eat it!" Boruto finished as both boys shared a good laugh at Boruto's tale.

"Naruto? Exhausted? Not able to compute!" Beca snorted as her fellow Bellas all laughed with her.

"You're right, he sounds like a completely useless dad! But you know…it seems like you enjoy talking about your family a lot. But….even if your dad's like that, you don't hate him, do you?" Naruto asked, tilting his head to the side as Boruto looked deep in thought before smiling.

"No…I don't hate him." Boruto smiled as the Bellas noticed a lone tear coming from Naruto's eye.

"Oh my god…did he know?" Emily asked.

"Well even if he's goofy, Naruto's not a complete idiot." Chloe added as everyone else smiled at the sweetness of the scene.

"I wonder how the relationship between Naruto and Boruto is." Jessica asked.

"I wonder…since this is Naruto and Emily's kid from the future, does that mean we can call him an Aca-Child!?" Ashley beamed with excitement as everyone sans Emily shared her excitement.

"I can deal with that! Aca-Child Boruto!" Aubrey beamed, excited to be an aunt one day in the near future.

"For the last time, we don't even know who Boruto's mom is!" Emily yelled but sighed when she realized she was being ignored.

Soon the next morning rolled around with the Bellas learning that rather than a ramen junkie, Boruto was a spice junkie as Boruto went around meeting the remaining Leaf Village rookies before a new threat arrived. This man wore a pair of regal white robes although the Bellas were quick to notice he had the same Byakugan as Neji and Hinata.

"Who the hell is this clown?" Flo asked, speaking for everyone as Boruto took a step back in apprehension.

"Urashiki!" Boruto's eyes widened.

"Urashiki?" Ashley asked.

"I've been wanting to see you for a while, Mr. Naruto Uzumaki." Urashiki smirked, turning his gaze onto Naruto who only looked at him in confusion.

"Wait, do you know me?" Naruto asked the man, utterly confused.

"Well of course! You're very famous after all!" Urashiki yelled as he flung his weapon, a fish hook which impaled Naruto's chest much to the concern of everyone before it came up, revealing nothing.

"Wait…he fights…with…a fishing hook?" Jessica asked in confusion as Urashiki looked just as confusion as Naruto charged at the rogue man.

"I don't know what all that was about but I'm not gonna go easy on anyone who springs a surprise attack on me, ya know!" Naruto spat as he charged the man only to get caught in his hook line.

"Oh no, he got caught!" Emily said in panic as Urashiki's eyes suddenly changed.

"Let's try something else." Urashiki smirked.

"Wait, what's with his eyes?" Chloe asked as Boruto charged at the man, Rasengan in hand.

"Wait, Aca-Child can use Rasengan too?" Amy asked.

"Since it's Naruto's kid, can we honestly be surprised?" Stacie shrugged as no one could argue that.

"Take this!" Boruto yelled, charging at Urashiki with a Rasengan only for him to easily avade the attack.

"This is bad!" Boruto grit his teeth.

"As long as I've secured Naruto Uzumaki, I have no more business with you all." Urashiki smirked before trapping everyone in a rock like prison before making his way off with Naruto. Urashiki had tried to break the seal with Naruto's abdomen only to fail as Naruto nearly ended up losing control, wounding Boruto in the process as the new objective for Naruto was to stop Urashiki by any means necessary. However, being a little shaken by nearly getting killed by his eventual father, Boruto slapped Naruto's hand away one day during training, a gesture that really hurt Naruto as he ran off, seemingly doing nothing but staring at the sky blankly not even noticing the rain fall on him before the future version of Sasuke actually walked up with a look of actual concern, something the Bellas hadn't seen too many times from Sasuke before.

"Hey, you'll catch a cold!" Future Sasuke told Naruto as he immediately recognized him from before as he took a seat on the tree branch behind him as he looked down, obviously worried he destroyed his friendship with Boruto.

"Are you worried that you ended up hurting him? You didn't hurt him on purpose did you?" Future Sasuke asked Naruto who immediately jumped up.

"Of course not!" Naruto was quick to defend himself. No way would he ever hurt someone, especially his son!

"But that's not good enough…if I let myself get swallowed up by the Nine Tails….hey mister, do you have a friend who's important to you?" Naruto asked the Future version of Sasuke who of course nodded his agreement.

"I have a friend or a rival too…but right now, because of our differing opinions, we fought and went our separate ways. But I can't ignore him. He probably thinks it's none of my business and I'm just being a pest…" Naruto looked down as Future Sasuke looked at Naruto with eyes full of…regret?

"So all that training you're undergoing with Jiraiya…" Future Sasuke muttered, more to hiself than to Naruto.

"I have to get stronger….so I can talk to Sasuke one more time! But it's hopeless…I went out of control and I hurt Boruto…at this rate…" Naruto buried his head in his palm as he looked and sounded near tears, something that broke the Bellas' hearts.

"Oh Naruto…" Emily tried comforting Naruto only for her hand to phase right through the blonde.

"I'm just wondering, how come more people don't see the resemblance between Naruto and Boruto? I mean…blonde hair, blue eyes, even their names sound the same! Are people in this village stupid?" Amy asked as the Bellas just nodded.

"I'm going to tell you a story about my friend. Long ago, in order to achieve a goal, he chose a path that would separate him from his friend. He believed that strength meant severing his bonds with everything. He didn't understand. More like, he didn't try to understand that he had a good friend who thought about him more than anyone else…." Future Sasuke looked down as the Bellas couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of his story.

"Sounds like Naruto and Sasuke." Chloe shook her head.

"How does Naruto not know this older guy is Sasuke? I mean the voice and facial features…" Amy muttered.

"What happened to him!?" Naruto demanded as the story of this man was definitely similar to the bond between him and Sasuke.

"In the end, his friend finally knocked some sense into him. His friend never gave up on him when others would have and he never went back on his word. Heh, I guess he really hated losing." Future Sasuke chuckled as that made the Bellas laugh at the irony of Sasuke's story.

"Wait, so no doubt this guy is definitely talking about himself. So that means Naruto was able to bring Sasuke back!" Emily gleamed excited to see how that happened.

"Yeah but…I was noticing…he doesn't use his left arm or rather it doesn't look like it's there…did Naruto rip it off?" Ashley cringed at the mental image.

"Given how unpredictable Sasuke was…it may have been the case…" Jessica answered, slightly curious as to what caused this version of Sasuke to lose his arm.

"A sore loser, huh? I can kinda relate to that!" Naruto grinned as Future Sasuke turned his head with a chuckle.

"I'm sure you can…" Future Sasuke mused.

"Hey, so were those two able to laugh together in the end?" Naruto suddenly smiled.

"Yeah." Future Sasuke answered as that was enough for Naruto while the Bellas felt a bit of happiness knowing Sasuke was able to return to the Sasuke they cared for.

"In that case, I can't be whining around like this!" Naruto grinned before smacking his cheek, "Thank you, mister! I'm not gonna lose to that friend of yours! I'm gonna get stronger! Strong enough to protect Boruto too!" Naruto beamed and as if to commemorate his mood the rain ended with the evening sun shining in the distance.

"If only you knew." Beca snorted.

"Oh yeah, what's your name? I didn't catch it?" Naruto asked as the Bellas all snickered.

"Sasuke Uchiha!" The Bellas answered in unison as Future Sasuke seemed to share their amusement.

"Unfortunately I can't tell you." Future Sasuke stated much to Naruto's disappointment.

"Oh c'mon! Don't be so stingy!" Naruto pouted as Sasuke handed Naruto a boxed lunch.

"Now come on. After you eat, go make up with Boruto and continue your training." Future Sasuke smiled at Naruto as he handed him the boxed lunch.

"Got it! And you know something? You're a surprisingly nice guy, mister!" Naruto beamed.

"That was very sweet of Sasuke." Chloe smiled along with the other Bellas as this Sasuke was even sweeter than the one before he was corrupted by Orochimaru.

"I guess you're right." Future Sasuke took his leave as Naruto was definitely fired up to continue his training.

As soon as he met up with Boruto, the two quickly made up much to the Bellas' reliefs before they continued their training and all was peaceful until Urashiki suddenly attacked the two and a long drawn out battle between the two, Urashiki and an arriving Sasuke and Jiraiya ensued which seemingly ended with the revelation of Naruto's new move, his "Naruto Stream" and all s thought to have been over before Urashiki was back for more with a new transformation as the quartet were easily overwhelmed and when all was lost, Naruto was seemingly giving into his Nine Tails' power, much to Boruto's horror as the memory was tainted in the same light red color just like when Naruto lost control against Haku.

"I'm not letting him die! I can save him!" Boruto yelled, running to Naruto much to the alarm of everyone watching.

"Aca-Child!" All the Bellas yelled as they watched him helplessly as he was knocked back by one of Naruto's claws.

"Is he insane!?" Emily tried running to Boruto's aid only for Stacie to hold her back.

"I have a feeling our precious Aca-Child will be fine…" Stacie smiled despite her worry as Urashiki found this humorous.

"How interesting! Go ahead and have a death match between friends!" Urashiki smirked as Boruto paid him no mind as he quickly etched his way towards Naruto.

"Naruto, don't worry. After all, I know you better than anyone else. I know that you're not so weak as to be consumed by rage now come here." Boruto smiled as he extended his hand to Naruto in a kind gesture although Naruto couldn't see or even recognize Boruto as he prepared a deadly Rasengan that would no doubt kill Boruto upon impact.

"Aca-Child! Get your ass outta there!" Cynthia Rose and Amy yelled.

"Naruto! It's your son!" Ashley and Jessica exclaimed with tears in their eyes.

"I'll accept it completely, dad!" Boruto vowed as before the Rasengan could touch Naruto, the Bellas found themselves in a small void as Boruto walked to Naruto as he put a hand on his back.

"That was a nice throw, ya know!" Boruto grinned as the two shared a heartfelt smile together as the Bellas were thrown back to the real world as Naruto, in control of his Nine Tails' cloak along with Boruto stood with their arms extended upwards as they were ready to hand this Otsutsuki asshole his ass!

"I just don't feel like losing!" Naruto grinned.

"We're gonna blast you to pieces!" The father-son duo of Naruto and Boruto vowed as their combined Rasengan only seemed to grow in size.

"Do it!" Beca and Chloe yelled.

"Kick his ass, Aca-Child!" Emily, Aubrey, Stacie, Flo, Ashley and Jessica, Flo, Amy and Cynthia Rose all yelled.

"Hmph! Fine whatever! I'll just kill you! Ameno Subaruboshinomikoto: Ryugu!" Urashiki yelled as a giant demon suddenly appeared, trying to overwhelm Boruto and Naruto's Rasengan but they refused to give up.

"Have some of this as a nice little bonus for ya!" Jiraiya struck Naruto's shoulder with a Rasengan.

"You bastard!" Urashiki growled as Sasuke gathered lightning in his palm.

"And here's one from me, too! Take this! Kirin!" Sasuke yelled as he made literal lightning fall from the sky.

"Did he just make Lightning fall from the sky!?" Aubrey yelled as this distraction was enough to finally send Urashiki hurdling off the planet, killing him. With both boys both exhausted they fell to the ground in a deep slumber, with Boruto muttering the following words, "We did it…dad…"

"What a good little kid!" Emily grinned.

"Because he's yours!" Amy smiled as she and the Bellas giggled at Emily's face. The scene soon shifted to Boruto and the future version of Sasuke being out of the village before Naruto suddenly made his way over to where they were.

"Hey, Boruto!" Naruto yelled as the girls didn't miss Boruto putting something in his back pocket.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Here's a little parting gift!" Naruto grinned as Boruto happily accepted the gift.

"Oh thank you!" Boruto happily smiled as the Bellas smiled at the scene.

"Aww, that's sweet." Jessica smiled.

"I wonder what he gave Aca-Child?" Ashley asked as Beca, Amy and Cynthia Rose all snorted.

"Ramen." The three women answered.

"And don't open it just yet, save the surprise for later! I just wish I could've gotten everyone around given you a proper send off after having some food together!" Naruto grinned.

"But it would've just been at Ichiraku anyways, right? Not that it wasn't good." Boruto snickered as the two smiled at each other.

"Be careful on your way home and don't worry your mom and dad." Naruto smiled before holding his hand out.

"Come visit again sometime! If you take too long, I might already be Hokage!" Naruto grinned as Aubrey sadly sighed.

"I wish me and my dad could be like that…" Aubrey sighed as Boruto happily accepted Naruto's handshake.

"The next time we meet, you really could be the Hokage!" Boruto smiled with the utmost certainty as he knew Naruto could achieve his dream as Naruto was speechless before smiling back at Boruto.

"Just you wait!" Naruto grinned and the Bellas found themselves growing teary-eyed at such a sweet farewell before Sasuke called themselves over as he stood Naruto and Jiraiya together before using his Sharingan as a bright light enveloped the memory, making the two lose consciousness.

"What just happened?" Beca asked as Hinata and Neji made their way over to where Naruto was.

"Hinata? What happened? I feel…weird…" Naruto muttered.

"Maybe it's because of your injuries from the day before yesterday?" Hinata asked as Naruto quickly flexed.

"No I'm fine, see? Anyway, what're you guys doing here?" Naruto asked as Neji and Hinata seemed just as confused.

"Naruto, what happened to that guy who was with you?" Neji asked.

"Guy?" Naruto tilted his head.

"You kmow…the one you were with?" Neji asked as it was clear what Sasuke had now did…

"Hm…..I think there was someone but I can't remember…" Naruto said as The Bellas stared sadly at Naruto.

"That's so sad…he forgot about Aca-Child…" Chloe frowned.

"It couldn't be helped…for the sake of the future, it had to be done." Beca sighed as she was gonna miss seeing Boruto…maybe…they could meet him one day if he ever decided to come back in time again.

"We never did find out who his mom was…" Emily muttered as the Bellas all rolled their eyes at her.

"It's obviously you Em." Jessica snickered as Emily repeated that it wasn't her!

With everyone said and done, it was finally time for Naruto to leave on his training journey with Jriaiya in order to get strong enough to combat Orochimaru as well as the Akatsuki.

However, as Naruto and Jiraiya traversed the lands and even helping out a village and a young boy named Tanishi, the Bellas recognized the place Naruto and Jiraiya were walking around.

"Hold on…this is…Atlanta!" Aubrey noted in realization.

"Huh, so we're finally gonna see the big moment when Naruto and I met, huh?" Emily smiled as the Bellas all squealed in excitement as this was a memory they were all excited to see.

"Okay kid, we'll stay here for the evening." Jiraiya said as Naruto looked at Jiraiya as if the toad sage had grown a second head.

"What!? Are you kidding!?What about the training!?" Naruto demanded as he couldn't imagine just chilling while Sasuke was with that bastard snake Orochimaru.

"Now, now, relax. After all, the Leaf Village wasn't built in a day." Jiraiya shrugged as Naruto huffed in irritation.

Jiraiya then grinned lecherously as he noticed a very attractive brunette woman walk by.

"Wait, that's my mom!" Emily pointed as the Bellas eyes widened as it really was Katherine Junk walking by.

"And…it looks like Jiraiya is gonna try to put the moves on her." Beca sighed as all the Bellas shared a collective groan.

"Alright, kid, see ya later! It's time for me to have some fun!" Jiraiya mischievously giggled before running off.

"HEY! Get back here you Pervy Sage!" Naruto yelled as he sighed.

"Of all the sensei I had to get stuck with…" Naruto shook his head.

"You know, whiskers sure did have a have a shitty hand when it came to sensei." Amy noted as the Bellas couldn't disagree with that sentiment.

To pass the time, Naruto decided to walk around Atlanta and get a fill of the location as he was gonna stay there for the next day so it'd be good for him to get situated in this new location. However, the girls all chuckled at Naruto's over the top reactions to all the different technology that was present, especially dealing with cars. As soon as Naruto reached a nearby park, the sound of soft sobbing got Naruto's attention.

"What's that?" Naruto asked before coming across a girl rubbing her eyes while sniffling. She was rather tall for her age but was cute. This…was the fourteen year old version of Emily Junk.

"Aww, Em…what's wrong, sweetie?" Chloe asked, turning to the girl with a concerned frown.

"Yeah, why were you crying?" Aubrey asked, just as concerned as the rest of the Bellas as they turned to Emily who sighed before looking down.

"Before I met you guys…I was the odd kid out. People used to make fun of me and say I was too much because of my personality along with me being clumsy. Add that to me being tall for my age I was a sure fire target for bullying." Emily sighed as she looked down.

Immediately she felt Ashley and Jessica grab her hands as everyone gave her a soft smile.

"Screw those haters. Do not let anyone try to get you down or make you feel bad for who you are. Yeah you can be a bit too energetic but that's okay. You have friends now that accept you for who you are." Beca smiled.

"Yeah. I know I give you a hard time and call you dumb all the time but it's only out of good fun, Legacy." Amy smirked.

"Them assholes even think about touching you, they'll deal with me on their ass!" Cynthia Rose punched her fist in her palm as Emily felt happy tears come to her eyes. It was all thanks to Naruto who gave her the confidence to meet the current family she had now…

"R-right…thank you!" Emily smiled through her tears as the Bellas all shared a group hug together before turning back to the memories.

"What's wrong with her?" Naruto felt bad for the girl since she reminded him of how he was before he met Iruka and Team Seven and as such a small vision showing Naruto all alone on that old swing set in the Academy, backed it up.

"I'll go talk to her!" Naruto vowed before walking over to the younger version of Emily.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Memory Emily looked up to see a boy around her age if not a year younger looking at her in concern. He was several inches shorter than her and he wore an orange and blue tracksuit with a blue headband with a bizarre symbol on it that resembled a…leaf?

Memory Emily blinked before wiping her eyes.

"W-who are you?" Memory Emily meekly asked.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, ya know!" Naruto grinned as Memory Emily blinked.

"O-okay?" Memory Emily replied. This boy seemed rather…bizarre.

"Your name means fishcake." Memory Emily commented as Naruto laughed.

"Fishcake?" Stacie snorted.

"I knew that…" Lilly muttered.

"Haha I guess! But anyways, what's your name?" Naruto smiled as something told Memory Emily she could trust this blonde.

"Emily…Emily Junk." Memory Emily introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you, Emily. So what's wrong?" Naruto smiled.

"It's just…everyone always thinks I'm freaking just because I'm taller than everyone else...am I just…ugly?" bit her lip as Naruto's heart immediately went out to Emily.

"There's nothing wrong with you, Emily! You're a pretty nice girl from what I can see!" Naruto smiled his trademark smile as Memory Emily felt her cheeks turn a slight red.

"T…thank you…" Memory Emily looked down as Naruto smiled.

"If it makes you feel any better, I wish I could get as tall as you!" Naruto explained as Memory Emily looked at Naruto in surprise.

"R-Really?" Memory Emily tried asking as Naruto grinned before nodding.

"Totally." Naruto smiled as Emily returned the smile.

"It's weird that even though several years passed, Naruto's really only as tall as Ashley and Jessica." Beca shrugged.

"Hey!" Ashley and Jessica spat, wondering what that meant. Was that meant to be an insult?

"Thank You, Naruto." Memory Emily smiled as Naruto held a hand out.

"C'mon, let's get an ice cream!" Naruto smiled as Memory Emily happily took the hand of the shorter boy's.

"Okay!" Memory Emily smiled as the two went off in a quest for ice cream. Though when they reached the local ice cream shop, Naruto found out the currency he used back in the Leaf Village was invalid in this town.

Although Memory Emily quickly resolved this issue by paying for the ice creams herself.

As the two happily ate their ice cream cones, Memory Emily decided to speak up.

"So Naruto?" Memory Emily began.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked as he was halfway through his cone.

"So what's with that weird headband of yours? It looks kinda funny." Memory Emily asked as Naruto proudly grinned.

"That's because I'm a ninja!" Naruto triumphantly smirked.

Memory Emily's reaction was a blank expression with a blink.

"….Ninja?" Memory Emily blinked.

"Yeah at the time, I thought he was just some weeb." Emily snorted, making the Bellas all snicker at Naruto's slightly disappointed expression.

"Nice." Beca gave Emily a high-five.

"Yep! And I wanna be the Hokage, the top ninja in my village!" Naruto grinned as he clenched his fist as Memory Emily giggled, obviously not believing him.

"Hey what's with the laugh? I'm serious!" Naruto said as he could tell she didn't believe him.

"Haha okay, okay." Memory Emily stopped her giggling fit as Naruto really enjoyed being around this Emily girl.

"Oh but Emily, I don't know my way around this Atlanta place. I'm kinda new here and I was wondering if you could show me around?" Naruto asked as Emily smiled.

"Sure." Memory Emily agreed as she showed Naruto the ins and outs of Atlanta before the two went back to the park as they sat down on the same park bench where they met.

"You know Naruto, you've been pretty nice to me. Thank you." Memory Emily smiled as she thanked Naruto as he rubbed his head bashfully.

"Haha it's no problem! Besides I don't think any cute girl should be all lonely!" Naruto laughed as he stopped himself as he blushed as he realized the words left his mouth before he could stop himself.

Memory Emily blinked as she couldn't believe what she heard. Did this guy really think she was cute despite her being freakishly tall?

"Y-you…think I'm cute?" Memory Emily stared at Naruto disbelief as Naruto was mentally smacking himself for being so stupid.

However Emily could see Naruto's expression and so she decided to drop the subject.

….For now anyways.

"Ooh~!" Jessica and Ashley cooed much to Emily's embarrassment.

"Oh crap, I gotta get home, it's kinda getting late! Tell you what, I'm leaving tomorrow but we can hang before I leave?" Naruto suggested much to Emily's happiness.

"Sure!" Memory Emily grinned as Naruto returned to where he could find where Jiraiya was. The Bellas all snickered at the big red mark on Jiraiya's face.

"Bad luck with women…." Jiraiya muttered.

"Way to show him, mom!" Emily laughed as Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, right. But anyways, guess what? I met this really nice girl! Her name's Emily and I'm gonna hang out with her again tomorrow!" Naruto grinned as Jiraiya smiled in satisfaction, happy that his protégé had found a young girl that he was fond of. Especially after what happened with Sakura…..

"Well that's nice. Just remember we leave at ten tomorrow morning." Jiraiya reminded Naruto who grinned.

"Yeah!" Naruto grinned as he soon met with Emily the next morning and the two sat in the same park bench as they enjoyed the nice morning breeze.

"So Emily…what're your dreams for the future?" Naruto asked the Junk Legacy who looked down.

"Well…I wanna fall in my mom's footsteps and be a Barden Bella…..they're a group of all female singers….And when I join, I want them to accept me for me, not because of who my mom is…" Emily in the memory said as the Bellas smiled at their Emily.

"And we do accept you." Jessica ruffled Emily's hair.

"It's for life, Em." Stacie smiled as Emily felt her heart become lighter. These were the friends she were blessed with after pining for nearly half a decade.

"Thanks…everyone…" Emily smiled.

"But…I'm not sure if I can do it…I mean they're all top notch and…" Emily in the memory trailed off as that was enough for Naruto.

"Don't be so down on yourself!" Naruto reprimanded Emily in the memory who stared at Naruto.

"B-but…" Memory Emily frowned as Naruto put his hands on her shoulders as he imposed a serious glare at the taller girl.

"Don't ever give up! Keep on trying until you succeed. It may not work the first or second time but you will succeed! I know you can do it!" Naruto stated as the look in Emily's eyes changed from uncertainty to that of…determination?

"…You really think I can do it?" Memory Emily asked as Naruto grinned.

"Damn right I know it!" Naruto said with the utmost certainty as Memory Emily looked down.

"You're right…..I shouldn't beat myself up. I'll go in there and audition the hell out of the Barden Bellas and when I give them a hundred and ten percent, I'll go in and knock their socks off!" Memory Emily beamed as Naruto gave her a thumbs up.

"That's what I wanna hear!" Naruto grinned as the Bellas all cooed at the memory.

"That was really sweet of Naruto." Aubrey beamed, excited to see the real Naruto again.

"He comforted you, gave you confidence and became your first friend. I can see why you're totes heads over heels for him!" Ashley grinned as Emily blushed but couldn't argue against any of the seniors.

"Emily! It's time for you to go to c-Who is this?" Katherine Junk asked as she walked up to Emily before taking note of the energetic blonde.

"This is Naruto, mom. My new friend." Memory Emily smiled as she gestured to Naruto.

"Yo!" Naruto grinned as Katherine was immediately in Naruto's face before happily shaking his hand.

"Friend!? Seriously!? Thank you so much for being a friend to my daughter. Ever since she's started Middle School, she's had a real problem of people bullying her but it really warms my heart that she not only has a new friend but a potential boyfriend in the making!" Katherine beamed, excited at the thought of grandchild in the far future as Emily and Naruto both blushed at her words.

"B-boyfriend!?" Memory Emily and Naruto exclaimed as the Bellas all laughed at their reactions.

"Seems momma knows best!" Chloe grinned.

"Enough!" Emily shoved everyone off as Katherine decided to take her phone out to commemorate this moment.

"To commemorate this, get in with Emily, Naruto. I want to get this for a picture." Katherine grinned as Naruto shrugged as the two got close as Katherine snapped the pic.

"Well, I have to go now Naruto…..Thank you for being nice to me….w-will….I ever see you again?" Memory Emily frowned as she looked down at the thought of not seeing Naruto as he happily pat her shoulders. Well as much as he could given she was several inches taller than him.

"Of course you will! I have several things I gotta take care of…." Naruto looked down as the girls saw visions of Itachi, Kisame, Orochimaru, Kabuto and finally Sasuke flash through the memory before he looked at her with a smile.

"I promise I will come back when all that is done. It's my promise of a lifetime, believe it!" Naruto grinned before taking his leave as the two childhood sweethearts waved goodbye to each other.

"And he kept your promise. If that ain't true love, I dunno what is." Cynthia Rose smirked as Emily looked down with a soft smile.

"Yeah…" Emily grinned eager to talk to Naruto as he eventually met up with Jiraiya as the two continued on their training trip. Along the way, the Bellas watched as Naruto and Jiraiya trained off and on together as the two got ever so closer.

But one evening really stood out to the Bellas….

Naruto was bearing his fangs against Jiraiya as three chakra tails erupted behind him.

"What the hell is going on!?" Amy asked, not liking the look in Naruto's eyes.

"I know….it's like he wants to kill Jiraiya…" Chloe muttered as a fourth chakra tail appeared.

"Naruto!" Jiraiya yelled before Naruto transformed into a miniature version of the Nine Tailed Fox although he was covered in blood and his eeys were pure white with serrated white teeth. He looked like a real monster. To add, instead of light red color the memory would have whenever Naruto used Kurama's power, it was colored a dark red, almost as if the memory was tainted with blood.

"Nice Pokemon…." Lilly muttered.

"That's not a Pokemon!" All the other Bellas exclaimed as Naruto had nearly killed Jiraiya but was stopped by a sealing tag that Jiraiya kept handy just in case.

"That…was too much…." Beca shook her head as everyone, even Lilly and Flo, were unnerved seeing the large X-Shaped scar on Jiraiya's chest.

"I wonder….how he managed to get in good with Kurama…" Emily muttered, the other Bellas wondering the same thing as Naruto was healed though Jiraiya decided not to tell Naruto in fear of that would hurt him and with their wounds healed, the Bellas watched as the two continued growing ever closer through the years as Naruto continued to get stronger and more powerful as Jiraiya was quickly becoming more of a father figure rather than an instructor to Naruto, something making the Bellas teary-eyed as they were happy for Naruto to finally have a father like figure after the hellish childhood he had.

Eventually, the day had come when Naruto and Jiraiya had finally returned to the Leaf Village after three years of training. Naruto excitedly ran up a pole in the Leaf Village as he overlooked all the Hokage faces.

"Now this takes me back! This village hasn't changed a bit! I'm home everyone! Naruto Uzumaki, has returned to the Hidden Leaf Village!" Naruto grinned as the Bellas all couldn't stop the proud smiles from adorning their faces. This was no longer the young preteen they had gotten so accustomed to see but rather was the Naruto they knew.

"Oh my god, we watched Naruto grow up! I feel like a proud mom!" Chloe sobbed as she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief she pulled from god knows where.

"Where did you even get that handkerchief from?" Beca asked though the red head ignored her.

The Bellas watched as Naruto reunited with Kakashi and Sakura before he had both of them repeated the Bell Test they failed miserably at three years prior and after showing off their abilities, the Bellas being very impressed with Sakura's growth, they were able to get their bell and they were assigned their first mission upon Naruto's return back to the village, having to retrieve the newly made Kazekage, Gaara, that was kidnapped by the Akatsuki who finally made their move. While the Bellas should have been a bit wary of Gaara given his actions during the Chunin Exams, they remembered a mission Naruto had with Gaara and his two bodyguards, they decided to give him a chance.

Upon encountering two Akatsuki members, Sasori and Deidara, Naruto was finally able to retrieve Gaara although he was zapped of his Tailed Beast, killing Gaara and he was thankfully revived thanks to a jutsu by the elder, Chiyo.

The high of the mission was that in the fight with Sasori, Sakura was able to ascertain the meeting point of Orochimaru at Tenchi Bridge. And as such, Team Kakahsi were given two new members, the Anbu Yamato who the girls thought was cool yet freaky with his wood powers and the Root Ninja Sai, someone the Bellas were wary of, especially with how rude he was. After a long drawn out fight with Orochimaru, Team Kakashi were finally able to reach Sasuke where the Bellas were finally reunited with Sasuke….

"That's Sasuke? He looks so…." Emily shuddered.

"Cold…." Chloe finished for her with a shiver as they could only wonder what led to Sasuke becoming the kind man in the Boruto memories.

Try all they wanted to, Naruto had failed to be powerful enough to bring Sasuke back by force and with renewed hope thanks to Sai, Naruto had engaged in Chakra Nature training in order to become strong enough in the new future. Along the way, the Bellas watched as Naruto had traveled to the land of demons and saved a priestess by the name of Shion, helped a medical nin by the name of Amaru and even helped and befriended a monk by the name of Sora who also had Nine Tails' chakra from within thanks to his bastard father.

Eventually, the time for Naruto's training to be put to the test came as Naruto was face to face against two more Akatsuki members, Hidan and Kakuzu, members who were responsible for the death of Asuma.

"Here it comes…" Kakuzu said as all of his hearts surrounded him.

"He kinda looks like Squirdward…" Lilly muttered as the girls all stared at her like she was even crazier than they all had thought.

"How does he look anything remote like Squidward!?" Jessica yelled as Naruto summoned two clones before making a Rasengan that was bigger than a standard Rasengan as he raised it to his head.

"Okay it's ready!" Naruto yelled as he ran with his new jutsu before Kakuzu jumped into the air.

"He jumped!" Chloe said as Kakuzu managed to impale Naruto. Or rather…..what he thought was Naruto before he jumped behind him as what Kakuzu had impaled was merely a Shadow Clone.

"Take this! Wind Style! Rasen-Shuriken!" Naruto yelled as his jutsu was devastated, incipaciting the Akatsuki before Kakashi dealt the final killing blow.

"Geez, that was like a Destructo Disk!" Stacie said, oblivious to the deadpan looks she received.

"Weeb." Beca muttered as the Bellas watched as the memories continued as the Bellas watched as Naruto helped people such as Guren and Yukimaru, helped defeat the rogue ninja Hiroku that was involved in an incident where Kakashi had actually left the Leaf Village and even had a mission with the Six Tails Jinchuuriki in Utakata. However…upon returning back to the Leaf Village, Naruto received very distressing news….

"So Grandpa Toad Sage, what'd you wanna tell me?" Naruto asked as something told the Bellas the news wasn't good.

"…I don't like this…" Aubrey said as Fukasaku looked down in despair.

"Where should I even start? I guess I should say it…..Jiraiya-Boy has fallen in battle." Fukasaku stated somblerly as the Bellas were just speechless.

"…."

"….Aca-Scuse me?" Aubrey asked as the Bellas were just speechless at what they had heard.

"…Someone as strong as Jiraiya….dead?" Flo couldn't believe it. Emily covered her mouth in her hands as tears came to her eyes.

"Naruto….I'm so sorry!" Emily teared up as Naruto was speechless as it felt like the entire world had caved in and the Bellas could only watch helplessly as Naruto went through all the stages of grief. But with the help of Shikamaru and Iruka, Naruto was able to find his way again before deciding to engage in training to learn Sage Mode in order to combat the enemy that killed Jiraiya, the Akatsuki Leader, Pain. With his training complete, the Bellas watched as Naruto returned to the Leaf Village or rather…what was left of it.

"So that's the Akatsuki Leader, huh?" Emily asked, feeling nervous.

"Yeah…something about this guy rubs me the wrong way…" Jessica muttered as Naruto and Pain glared at each other as Naruto glared at Pain once he started his spiel about peace.

"Shut the hell up! Don't make me laugh! After all you've done, how can you call this peace!?" Naruto yelled, righteous anger coursing through his veins as Pain merely scoffed at him.

"You cannot see the forest for the trees. You do not understand the meaning of peace. Now just come quietly, your death will lead to peace." Pain muttered as the Bellas scoffed.

"Peace? Yeah right!" Amy snorted as that was enough for Naruto before the two engaged in one of the most epic battles the Bellas had seen since coming into these memories. Except for the Deva path, Naruto defeated the other Pains but found himself restrained by the Deva path as the Bellas couldn't believe it. Naruto was actually captured but before Pain could make his way off with Naruto, Hinata had came in and attempted to save Naruto. But not without saying some few choice words to Naruto….

"I love you, Naruto!" Hinata smiled as the Bellas felt both feelings of adoration and exasperation.

"That's nice and all but umm….why confess on a battle field!?" Beca yelled as Hinata was dealt with by Pain after a small fight ensued and before Pain could do anymore harm, Naruto had assumed a Six Tailed form and even elevated to an Eighth Tail form and before he could rip the seal off, Naruto was stopped at the last second by his father, the Fourth Hokage. After the two had a small talk about the truth of the Nine Tails' attack nearly Seventeen Years ago, Minato left Naruto with some parting words before his Chakra disappeared.

"Naruto, you can do it. As your father, I believe in you." Minato smiled as he ruffled his hair before disappearing.

"I wish my dad was like that…" Aubrey frowned as Amy and Beca grunted in agreement.

Upon returning to normal, Naruto and Pain had engaged in another battle where it was obvious where the tide of battle was soon turning.

"Unbelievable…he's still conscious….you who have no Pain! Give up!" Pain yelled as Naruto had formed a Rasengan in his hand.

"Why don't you!? Give up on me giving up!" Naruto roared, slamming his Rasengan into Pain's chest.

"Yes!" Emily and Stacie cheered as they jumped and hugged while the other Bellas also cheered as Naruto soon made his way to where the real Pain, Nagato was. After a small talk concerning pain and peace for the future, it seems Naruto's words had finally reached Nagato.

"If there's such a thing as peace I'll find it! Because that's who Naruto is!" Naruto declared with a proud smirk as the Bellas all smiled at Naruto.

"This guy may be a dumbass but he'll definitely save the world." Beca smiled as the look in Nagato's eyes had definitely changed.

"If that's the case…then…I shall believe in you…Naruto Uzumaki…" Nagato said as he made a hand sign.

"Wait, what's he doing?" Chloe asked as Konan had explained that Nagato was reviving everyone he had killed during his Leaf Village raid though unfortunately this wasn't the case for Jiraiya due to the lack of chakra Nagato had left.

With the Pain situation now over, the Bellas watched teary-eyed as Naruto was declared the Hero of the Hidden Leaf and even Inari and Tazuna had dropped in for a small visit. Although all was nto well as Cloud Village Ninja had informed the Leaf at how Sasuke had attacked the Cloud Village and abducted their Jinchuuriki and as such, Sasuke was marked as a wanted criminal to be hunted down, much to the shock of the Bellas'.

Wanting to see Sasuke one more time, Naruto dashed off in pursuit of Sasuke before the two finally reunited although…unlike their last reunion….the look in Sasuke's demeanor was now crooked…downright evil….

"I can't believe it…how could Sasuke try killing Sakura!?" Chloe demanded as Sasuke merely smirked as Naruto glared at him.

"In case you forgot, Sakura's a fellow member of Team Seven!" Naruto tried reminding his friend who merely scoffed in return.

"You mean ex Team Seven." Sasuke smirked evilly as the look in his eyes was enough to make some of the softer members of the Bellas cringe.

"Tobi told me the truth about Itachi and about it….I get it!" Naruto said as the Bellas all looked to each other, remembering Tobi telling Kakashi, Yamato and Naruto the truth about Itachi.

"I still can't believe it….Itachi killing his clan because that Danzo guy told him too…" Ashley muttered as Sasuke's teeth grit in rage.

"I've already told you before, you have no parents or brothers so outsiders like you should shut up! Besides….one of the goals of my plan of revenge have finally been achieved….Early…the Leaf Elder Danzo…I killed him!" Sasuke grinned as the Bellas couldn't believe how gleefully Sasuke bragged about murdering someone.

"Sasuke actually killed him?" Jessica asked as Sasuke continued.

"It was unlike anything I've ever felt before! Almost as if I was finally cleansing the Uchiha name of the stigma that's plagued it for all these years, like I was freeing the Uchiha Clan from being a part of this corrupt Shinobi World! Isn't that what you Leaf ninja have always wanted? Snubbing and rejecting my clan? Well don't worry I'll wipe it from your memories! By killing every last one of you until the Leaf is crushed forever! Any link to the Uchiha will be severed and our name will finally be purified and that is how I will revive my clan!" Sasuke evilly declared as the Bellas were speechless.

"…..H-how….could he grow up….to be that man we saw…with Boruto?" Emily asked.

"He's off his rocker…." Amy muttered as Sasuke charged at Naruto with a Chidori, intent on killing Naruto before the two had a small talk within the void they stood in before being ejected back into the real world.

"Sasuke! You've seen it…as well as me, haven't you? You know…the next time we fight….we'll die." Naruto declared much to the shock of everyone watching.

"ACA-SCUSE ME!?" All the Bellas yelled as this was enough for Sasuke to grit his teeth.

"I don't get it! What the hell do you want!? Why are you so obsessed with me!?" Sasuke yelled as Naruto gave his friend a kind smile.

"Because we're friends." Naruto smiled as Emily was close to tears.

"N-naruto….how could you…what about…our promise…" Emily bit her lip as several tears fell despite her efforts. All the other Bellas were quick to put their hands on her shoulder and reassure and remind her that Naruto didn't die. That didn't stop her from wanting to confront Naruto when all was said and done though….

Upon returning to the Leaf Village, the girls watched as Naruto engaged on several adventures such as dealing with an incident with a very powerful device known as the Ama No Hoko as well as even getting attacked by Madara and getting caught in a jutsu known as the "Limited Tsukuyomi" along with Sakura much to the Bellas' Dismay. However, Naruto overcome those trials logically before he was given a new mission, to visit Turtle Island in order to train to master the Nine Tails with the help of Killer Bee, the Jinchuuriki that was thought to have been taken by Sasuke. Along the way, Naruto had an adventure of sorts on the High Seas and had to deal with quite interesting scenarios such as dealing with Pirates, a Ghost Ship, nearly starving to death, having to deal with a Shadow Clone rebellion along with an imposter Naruto and several other adventures but one particular memory stood out to the girls…

A Kunoichi was stuck in a forced marriage, something that Naruto called her out on.

"But in a marriage, don't both people have to love each other?" Naruto asked the Kunoichi, Shizuka.

"But does that really matter?" Shizuka asked as Naruto smiled as he looked to the sky.

"There's a girl I promised to see again…her name's Emily….." Naruto smiled in nostalgia.

"Emily?" Shizuka asked.

"Emily's a girl I really like and maybe when I get to know her and catch up with her again, maybe I would marry her but I wouldn't want to marry her if I didn't love her!" Naruto said much to the Bellas' and Naruto's delight.

"Naruto…" Emily couldn't believe Naruto still held onto their promise as the Bellas just found Naruto's words adorable.

"Aww~! Emily's boyfriend! Emily's boyfriend~!" The other Bellas, even Lilly, cooed much to Emily's embarrassment.

Upon arrival at Turtle Island,, Naruto had to confront his dark side which he eventually conquered thanks to help from Bee. The next stage…involved a direct encounter with the Nine Tails….Which was a lot easier said than done…..

"You the Nine Tails Jinchurriki would team up with the Eight Tails!? How pathetic!" Kurama yelled raising his Tailed together for a Tailed Beast bomb.

"I hope he's ready…." Beca muttered as a long drawn out battle between the two happened which nearly ended with Naruto embracing his hatred before being saved at the last second by his mother and upon looking at her, the Bellas were instantly reminded of Chloe.

The Bellas all adored and fawned over the love story, Kushina had with Minato before Naruto was finally able to defeat Kurama and even got a brand spanking new form. It was then that Kushina revealed what really happened all those years ago when Kurama had attacked the Hidden Leaf Village before making her leave. But not without leaving her son with some very sweet words….

"I'm sorry…I wasn't around to be your mother…I wasn't there for you…I wasn't there to love you!" Kushina frowned, wiping tears from her eyes as the Bellas' hearts all went out to her.

"Oh Miss Kushina…don't apologize…it's not your fault but that masked bastard." Emily smiled through her tears as Naruto merely looked down.

"Don't apologize…yeah I had some hard times as a Jinchuuriki but I never blamed either of you! Maybe I never understood what a parent's love was but I now know you and dad filled me up with love before you died and here I am, happy and healthy! I'm glad I ended up being your son!" Naruto grinned as the Bellas were now openly crying at Naruto's words.

"Okay…that's just…" Beca was immediately reminded of her own mother.

"That's so sweet…" Chloe cried on the same handkerchief from earlier as Kushina managed to hug Naruto despite fading away.

"Naruto! Thank you for letting me be your mother…for letting Minato be your father…thank you for being our son! Thank you!" Kushina said before she faded away as a long tone fell down Naruto's eyes as Naruto tried to compose himself.

"Mom…..I promise I'll eat less ramen and focus on the veggies…and I love hopping in a hot bath and I get plenty of sleep. Hell people say I get too much! As for friends I've got plenty of them…I just wish you could've met them and there is a special girl I've met…who I wanna see again soon….although there's one friend I'm not really getting along with right now….As for school well you were right but I never let it get me down, ya know and it wasn' smooth sailing with the teachers in the Academy but I respect them all now! And you were right about Pervy Sage but he was a great man who turned me into the person I am now! I…am Naruto Uzumaki…Ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village…and my dream…is to be a Shinobi…that's a bigger badass than my father and to become a stronger Shinobi than my mother!" Naruto vowed.

Soon the girls watched as Naruto continued his training with Killer Bee before Naruto found out about the devasting state of the World….Madara had declared war and with new power at his disposal Naruto set off towards the Battle Field.

But not without having a few words with Kurama who tried to berate Naruto for his idealistic way of thinking before Naruto made a vow.

"Someday, I'll come after the hatred inside of you!" Naruto vowed before jumping on one of Kurama's tails.

"I went through a lot of Hell having you inside of me but…I know how it is to be at the mercy of your own hatred." Naruto smiled at Kurama who looked as if he just wanted to goggle Naruto up.

"Are you stupid!? I am the Nine Tails!? You think some little brat can change me!? I am hatred incarnate!" Kurama yelled as the girls all giggled at Kurama's bravado.

"Hasn't stopped him before." Cynthia Rose smirked.

"No problem and besides you're not even that bad! Well see ya!" Naruto grinned, leaving Kurama in a very emotional state of mind.

With the power of the Nine Tails on his side the girls marveled as Naruto went against many powerful ninja such as the Third Raikage, Second Mizukage and various other powerful ninja including an old childhood friend, Yota. However, this only served to be the true beginning of the war….

"Hey! Wait, there's someone up there…." Naruto pointed as there stood none other than Madara Uchiha.

"So that's how he looks under the mask?" Emily asked.

"No…..look at his eyes….it's reanimation….meaning….." Gaara trailed on as the Bellas couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"Wait, if that's the real Madara, then who the hell is behind the mask!?" Aubrey asked as the Bellas watched in absolute horror as Madara completely devastated the Ninja Alliance before they were all saved by the Five Kage at the last minute who left him with the task of stopping the fake Madara as they promised to deal with the real Madara.

As Naruto and Bee confronted the Fake Madara or rather Tobi, a battle quickly ensued where Naruto was nearly captured but was saved at the last second by the untimely arrival of both Kakashi and Guy. Though the battle was quickly turning against the favor of the good guys as the Jinchuuriki transformed into their respective Tailed Beasts.

"This is bad, no matter how you look at it." Kurama smirked through his cage as the Bellas all glared at him.

"Why isn't he getting off his ass and helping Naruto!?" Aubrey demanded, speaking for everyone.

"Heh…you just….watch me but you know…you've been talking to me a lot lately so let me give you some words…..I really appreciate for what you did against the real Madara back there." Naruto smirked through his exhaustion as Kurama snarled at Naruto.

"Don't be stupid! I only did what I had to do in order to pass the time…that's right…only to pass the time!" Kurama smirked as the Bellas all rolled their eyes.

"Those idiots are really doing that at a time like that!?" Beca was ready to smack the two clean silly as Naruto shared her irritation.

"Hey! Why are you acting like that just because I thanked you! I suggest you change your tone or els-"Naruto was about to argue before a large paw cut him off.

"Bump your fists with mine." Kurama smirked as the girls gasped with a smile.

"This must be when Naruto and Kurama became friends!" Emily gasped.

"Heh, chakra tug of war again?" Naruto smirked.

"You idiot! We don't have to do that this time!" Kurama chided Naruto as he stood tall, having found his second wind.

"Kurama….you're no longer a monster fox but a comrade…a friend of the Hidden Leaf Village!" Naruto grinned as the girls and even Kurama were moved by his words.

With their newfound bond, Naruto gained a tremendous power up and the Bellas all watched and marveled as Naruto and Kurama were able to take on and own all the Tailed Beasts, leaving only Tobi behind and as nightfall hit, Naruto, Guy, Kakashi and Bee all tried fighting off against the might of Tobi before….

"WHO ARE YOU!?" Naruto yelled, slamming his Rasengan into Tobi's face before…..

"Is that you….Obito!?" Kakashi asked as it was none other than Kakashi's old teammate Obito as the main one orchestrating everything.

"Ugh….talk about ugly…." Beca cringed at Obito's scars.

"I think he looks kinda handsome. What?" Flo asked at the stares she received.

If this wasn't bad enough, the real Madara also touched down, goading our heroes about the fate of the Five Kage before…..what was dreaded the most happened….the Ten Tails was revived….

"So that's…." Ashley gulped.

"The Ten Tails?" Jessica took a step back at its monsterish appearance.

"Talk about nightmare fuel." Beca muttered.

"I think it looks kinda cute." Lilly murmured, once again oblivious to the reception she received.

As all hope seemed lost, the Shinobi Alliance had finally arrived, however the Ten Tails was definitely a force to be reckoned with as several causalities arose as a result…One of which….was Neji's….The death nearly drove Naruto to the brink of insanity was it not for the help of Hinata.

With renewed confidence, the alliance pushed forward against the might of Obito, Madara and the Ten Tails before suddenly all four previous Hokage touched down…followed by Sasuke.

"A lot has happened but I've decided to become the Hokage." Sasuke demanded.

….

"WHAT!?" All the Bellas exclaimed.

"Uh…I'm sure they do criminal background checks." Flo muttered.

"…Just what the hell is Sasuke planning?" Beca asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ignoring all the hostility aimed his way, it seemed Team Seven was finally back together and the Bellas watched with amazement as the renewed Team Seven battled against the Ten Tails spawns before Obito suddenly fell out of the sky, seemingly defeated as Minato had appeared to have killed him.

Key word, attempted.

Obito suddenly sucked the Ten Tails inside of himself before he and the Ten Tails itself became encompassed in a ball.

"What's happening? Is the Ten Tails changing shape?" Chloe asked.

"No….this is what Obito's plan has been all along…..to become….the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki!" Naruto exclaimed.

And as such the Ten Tails Jinchuriki Obito was definitely a force to be reckoned with but eventually Naruto was able to reach him through a literal battle of chakra tug of war.

"What do you want from me!?" Obito yelled as Naruto smirked at him.

"I want you to stop lying to yourself. After all….you're dad's disciple, the best friend of Kakashi-Sensei and an Uchiha like Sasuke. I plan on ripping your mask off!" Naruto vowed.

"Okay this is cool and all but just think about everything…this is two dudes, one half-naked, talking about feelings…what do you think is gonna happen?" Amy asked as the Bellas all sent her disturbed looks as it turned out Naruto had finally reached Obito. Leaving only Madara left to defeat…however…in Obito's weakened state, he had managed to use the reanimation jutsu on him…thus bringing him back to life…

"Oh no…." Emily muttered.

"Finally…There's no better feeling! Than the feeling of rushing and flowing blood with the thrill to fight!" A revived Madara celebrated his newly revival before a flame of fire literally cut him off.

"Sasuke?" Chloe and Aubrey asked.

"Let's see what a living fossil like you can do!" Sasuke yelled, blazing him with the Amaterasu as this unfazed Madara before he suddenly set his eyes on the Tailed Beasts before managing to summon the Gedo Statue…ripping out all the Tailed Beasts….including Kurama….

The memory darkened as Naruto's heart beat lowered as the Bellas were speechless…..Naruto had died…he actually died…

"Naruto…died…" Emily nearly heaved as she nearly fainted as the other Bellas caught her.

"Don't worry Em, Naruto's fine!" Jessica was quick to reassure her.

"Yeah, he's here now." Chloe added though even she was curious as to how Naruto actually survived.

Eventually the memory came to as Naruto awoke in a sewer system where he was face to face with none other than the Sage of the Six Paths himself where he explained the origin of Chakra and Ninshu along with the tail of his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki and after finishing he bestowed Naruto even more power than he did originally.

After coming to, he and Sasuke stood together against the might of the Ten Tails' Jinchuuriki of Madara.

"Wait, he has a Rinnegan?" Beca asked as the other Bellas noticed the blood stain near Sasuke's heart.

"Heh, I'm not gonna defeat you stupid!" Naruto grinned before assuming his new Tailed Beast State.

"We're going to defeat you, Madara." Sasuke narrowed his eyes as Madara smirked.

"Very well then. This shall be the final battle!" Madara declared before an epic battle ensued. However…..Madara was able to retrieve his other Rinnegan and with his other Rinnegan, he dropped down a series of meteors before flying into space where the Moon was.

"Now…Shine over this World….INFINITE TSUKUYOMI!" Madara yelled as the moon turned blood red with the eye of the Ten Tails reflected off the surface before Madara made a hand sign.

"Now…BECOME ONE!" Madara smirked as the silhouette of Kaguya Otsutsuki covered the entire world and before the Bellas knew anything a bright light illuminated the battle field, turning the sky as bright as day.

"….What…just happened?" Amy blinked caught off guard by the bright light as Chloe noticed the "sun" or rather what appeared to be the sun was bright and shining with the eye of the Ten Tails fully visible on it.

"…I think Madara just activated his jutsu…" Emily muttered as everyone could only watch in dismay as everyone was cocooned and bound by a tree, much to everyone's shock.

"What the hell is going on!?" Ashley asked.

"This is something out of the freaking Matrix…" Flo muttered as the girls noticed that everyone but Team Seven was caught in the jutsu.

"…What's going on out there….Sasuke?" Sakura asked as Sasuke merely scoffed at her.

"And what different would it make if I told you now? You can't do anything anyways." Sasuke bluntly stated as the Bellas glared at him.

"Okay, rude much?" Aubrey crossed her arms.

"What crawled up his ass and died?" Chloe frowned as Naruto shared the Bellas' anger.

"Sasuke, you asshole! Sakura's a fellow member of Team 7!" Naruto chided his teammate who disregarded his anger.

"I agree. After all-"Kakashi tried explaining as Sasuke glared at him.

"Kakashi, you're no more useful than Sakura so shut up, I'm directing here." Sasuke spat and at Kakashi's silence, Sasuke decided to speak again.

"Anyways, Madara has launched his jutsu. And everyone outside has fallen outside its spell. I suspect we're the only ones not caught in it." Sasuke said as Naruto tensed.

"So that means outside everyone…" Naruto began as Sasuke merely stared at Naruto.

"Is in a dream." Sasuke finished as the Bellas tensed…remembering how they were at Worlds and before they knew anything they couldn't move and ended up in their own dream worlds….

Aubrey dreamed of a reality where she had her father's approval.

Beca dreamed of a world where her father never left and her mother was still around with the Bellas staying together forever, especially with Chloe….

Chloe dreamed of a world where she and Beca were happily married and living a very prosperous life together while the Bellas continued to dominate every competition in the world.

Amy dreamed of a world where her father wasn't a cold, heartless criminal and was instead a very benevolent man.

Lilly dreamed of a world where Satan finally left her body and she could finally have all the discussions she wanted with her precious friends.

Flo dreamed of a reality where her brother didn't sale her for a chicken and she didn't have to live in fear of being deported.

Cynthia Rose dreamed of a world where her gambling debts were paid off and she had Stacie and her "goodies" all to herself.

Stacie dreamed of a world where she could have all the sex she wanted.

Ashley and Jessica both dreamed of a world where they were actually recognized and appreciated and treated as actual Bella members and they lived together and were acknowledged as a couple.

And lastly Emily dreamed of a world where she continued the Legacy of the Bellas with Naruto at her side….

Soon the light for the Infinite Tsukuyomi died down as Sasuke released his Perfect Susanoo.

"About time…felt like we were in there for months…" Beca muttered as Madara prepared for battle against Team Seven again. But before he could take a step…..

"I can't move!" Madara tensed as everyone stared at the two in confusion.

"Wait, what's happening? Some sort of falling out?" Emily asked.

"Isn't it presumptuous to assume you're different than Obito? My dear Madara…all this time you have been living inside of a dream…one that I concocted!" Black Zetsu, attached to Obito, grinned at Madara's expression.

"I'm confused….Weren't they friends?" Chloe asked.

"A dream? How can you say this, Black Zetsu? You are my will incarnate!" Madara argued as Black Zetsu merely chuckled.

"Wrong again…my will is the will of KAGUYA!" Black Zetsu grinned as the Bellas' eyes widened.

"Kaguya!?" All the Bellas exclaimed.

"Wait, so that crazy lady…" Stacie said.

"She's coming back!?" Beca dreaded as Black Zetsu revealed that the victims of the Infinite Tsukuyomi would eventually turn into White Zetsu over the course of many years, much to the disgust of all the Bellas.

Before anyone could say anything, none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki had appeared from the remains of what once was Madara Uchiha.

"She kinda reminds me of that Urashki guy…." Aubrey noted as an even worse battle than Madara ensued as the Bellas watched with amazement as it turned out that Kaguya had the power to literally warp and change dimensions and the deadly battle had cost the life of Obito who had managed to redeem himself in his last few moments and while people like Beca, Amy, Flo, Lilly and Aubrey thought the bastard had gotten his just desserts, the softer members actually felt some sort of pity for the man.

However, before Obito died he had left Kakashi a gift as he handed him some power, which was enough to summon a Perfect Susanoo of his own.

"Alright, Team 7 get ready! This is your last mission! A mission not just for the Leaf Village but for the entire Shinobi world!" Kakashi declared.

"Yeah….no pressure." Beca snorted as Kaguya narrowed her eyes.

"Now…which of you will die first?" Kaguya glared as the combatants charged at each other.

"Mother's will and her powers will not have her get sealed again!" Black Zetsu smiled despite being pinned down by a clone version of Naruto as Kakashi was actually able to embed Kamui skills in his Susanoo.

"We're both women so don't you mock me!" Sakura yelled as she managed to knock off one of Kaguya's horns, stunning her.

"Whoa Sakura! Where did she come from?" Ashley asked.

"Now!" Sasuke yelled.

"Cha!" Sakura said.

"It's done! Planetary Devastation!" Naruto said as he was able to seal Kaguya along with her "son" Black Zetsu before Team Seven returned to the real world.

As soon as Naruto did so, a teary eyed goodbye between Minato and Naruto ensued.

"Oh yeah…that reminds me…Happy Birthday Naruto! You've grown into such a fabulous young man!" Minato smiled as Naruto smiled through his tears.

"Yeah…thank you!" Naruto grinned before Naruto remembered the words his mother told him.

"So I've learned to take baths all the time and I love all kinds of different ramen and I really respect all my teachers and senseis and I've made tons of reliable friends and as for girls, there's a girl I'm interested in! And…and…" Naruto got choked up before Minato took his leave although the Bellas could have sworn they saw a tear fall from the ghost of Minato.

And with that…the Fourth Great Ninja War was finally over.

Or so everyone thought as Sasuke had announced his plans for the Shinobi World.

"I'm going to execute all of the Five Kage still trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi!" Sasuke declared much to the shock of the Bellas.

"Are you kidding!? Jeez, Sasuke is seriously turning into the dumbest person ever!" Amy groaned.

"You're telling me!" Beca agreed.

"And as for you Tailed Beasts, I'm placing all of you under my control and eventually, I'll get rid of you as well!" Sasuke announced, his Rinnegan glowing to illustrate his eerie effect.

"What did you just say!?" Kurama growled as he raised a claw only for his eyes to turn into the same Rinnegan that Sasuke had.

"Kurama!" Emily and Chloe yelled.

"So fast!" Stacie, Aubrey, Ashley and Jessica blinked before all the Tailed Beasts were caught in Sasuke's jutsu.

"Don't tell me you're still seeking vengeance!" Kakashi exclaimed despite his exhaustion.

"I will admit…at one time all I cared about was destruction but now all I seek is to destroy and rebuild. What I'm touting…is Revolution!" Sasuke announced.

"Like dance dance revolution?" Lilly murmured before the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke finally started as Naruto and Sasuke returned to the Final Valley from all those years ago. With their goals for the future in mind, the two combatants charged at each other, intent on leading the Shinobi World in their own way.

The two entered into a Taijutsu battle of sorts before they quickly advanced to using their most powerful abilities as they fired off their most powerful abilities of Indra's Arrow and Planetary Rasen-Shuriken respectively before they eventually fought their way into the evening where Sasuke nearly killed Naruto by siphoning off his chakra before Naruto knocked him into a Cliffside.

"…You keep on getting…in my way….over…and over…and over…and over AGAIN! JUST GIVE UP AND LET ME CUT YOU DOWN ALREADY!" Sasuke yelled as Amy suddenly laughed.

"…You find this funny?" Beca asked as Amy couldn't stop laughing despite the looks she received.

"It's like he's having a temper tantrum." Amy snickered as Sasuke cooled down as Naruto told him that was his ninja way before he combined his Amaterasu with his Chidori.

"He's combining his Flame Release with his Chidori and intends on ending this with one final blast. I'll give you more chakra but try not to let him take anymore as I'll fall asleep and-"The oher half of Kurama told Naruto as he smiled before the two shared a final fist bump before a lone leaf fell before hitting the water Naruto stood on.

"This is it…" Aubrey said.

"The final battle…" Beca added before the two combatants charged at each other, intent on ending this battle as Naruto extended his hand. However, before he could summon Kurama's chakra, a spiritual like hand suddenly covered Naruto's hand.

"What the?" Chloe asked as the hand was revealed to be Jiraiya's. However…much to the Bellas' amazement, the hands only continued as the hands that followed were Minato, Kushina, Obito, Rin, Hashirama, Tobirama, All the Jinchuuriki as well as the Tailed Beasts, Inari, Tazuna, Haku, Zabuza, Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, Bee, A, Mei, Onoki, Tsunade, Hiruzen, Iruka, Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi, Teuchi, Ayame, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Guy, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Kurenai, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Asuma, Sai, Yamato, Kakashi and Sakura.

"He's…remembering….everyone…" Stacie muttered as the Bellas felt themselves becoming slightly teary-eyed as it showed that despite how much time passed and how much Naruto experienced, he never forgot those that turned him into the person he was today.

However…one last hand appeared…..the last hand was none other than…

"Mine!" Emily said as her hand was the one that actually helped form the "Final Rasengan" so to speak as the girl teared up.

"See Em?" Ashley smiled.

"Yeah, Naruto never forgot you." Jessica rubbed Em's shoulder who only sobbed in response, feeling guilty for thinking Naruto had forgotten her.

Soon Naruto and Sasuke's final attacks collided as a bright light enveloped the memory as the Bellas were nearly blinded by it before they were left in what looked to be a dark void for several minutes. Before they could say anything, the memory opened again but a loud "dripping" noise filled the memory. Before they could look around, they noticed a pool of red under Naruto and Sasuke. As they looked closer, they noticed Naruto and Sasuke had actually blown their dominant arms off.

"Oh my god! Their arms!" Chloe covered her mouth in horror along with Ashley and Jessica.

"….I've seen some shit in my life…." Amy muttered.

"But that…takes the cake…." Aubrey finished as she along with Stacie, Cynthia Rose, Flo, Amy and Beca were just speechless while Lilly, despite keeping her patented blank expression, was just as stunned as the rest.

Emily however nearly fainted as she looked close to having a nervous breakdown.

"….Blood….Red…so much….he's…he's gonna….he's gonna…." Emily nearly fainted as Chloe grabbed her shoulders.

"Em! Naruto's fine! He's alive! This is just a memory!" Chloe urged as Emily was just silent as Naruto stared at the moon blankly before Sasuke came to.

"Heh…you're finally up…huh…..better not move too much…or we'll make the wound worse…" Naruto laughed weakly as Sasuke just stared at the moon which was thankfully back to its normal color.

"Why….I gained the power to go into the darkness and logically everyone tried to cut their ties with me….except you…..why?" Sasuke turned his head to Naruto who merely laughed.

"Because he loves you, stupid!" Ashley and Jessica snapped at Sasuke.

"Now that you can't move, your mouth sure is moving." Naruto tried joking as Sasuke was in no mood.

"Just answer me!" Sasuke spat as Naruto turned the Avenger.

"Because….you're my friend." Naruto answered as Sasuke looked unconvinced.

"You already said that!" Sasuke snapped as Naruto exhaled.

"Because….you're someone precious to me…..I know…you're all alone and whenever I see you in pain…it hurts me…..you were one of the first people to ever accept me….so I can't just let you be left alone when you're in obvious pain…." Naruto answered as the Bellas felt themselves moved by Naruto's words.

"Oh Naruto…" Emily blinked back the tears that fell regardless of her efforts.

"What would any of us do without a Naruto in our life?" Chloe smiled through her tears as Sasuke looked touched before having what appeared to be an internal war with himself.

"You know with them under the moon together, this is kinda like something out of Brokeback Mountain." Amy snorted.

"Amy!" Chloe and Emily yelled.

"What?" Amy asked, sarcastically.

Soon the next morning rolled around as the two had actually managed to survive to the next morning despite all the blood they lost.

It was then…Sasuke said something.

"This is…my loss…you've beaten me…" Sasuke smiled despite the blood and dirt covering his face as the Bellas smiled as they felt tears prickle their eyes. Finally…the Sasuke they loved and cared for was back.

"…He's back….Sasuke's finally back." Aubrey wiped her eyes.

"About time…that duck headed asshole." Amy smiled though she was just as teary eyed.

"Wait after all that!? It's that easy! Man, you really are a pain in the…" Naruto rambled as Sasuke smiled at Naruto before looking above.

"If I do…this may be a sort of Revolution…" Sasuke said as Beca frowned.

"Oh hell no. You're gonna live and atone for all the shit you did!" Beca spat.

"Damn right!" Emily and Stacie agreed as Naruto said their exact words.

"However…even if you trust and accept me, that doesn't mean the others will be as willing…" Sasuke said as Naruto scoffed.

"Then screw 'em!" Naruto spat as Sasuke's eyes softened.

"You promise….to…never leave me alone…?" Sasuke asked as Naruto's own eyes softened.

"Of course I do." Naruto said as those words were enough to move Sasuke before he turned his head as the Bellas all noticed a lone tear slip down his eye.

"He's…crying…" Chloe frowned.

"I think this may be the first time we've ever seen Sasuke cry." Flo noted in amusement.

"Shut up…..you loser…" Sasuke smiled through his tears.

"That guy…." Jessica smiled at Sasuke as Sakura suddenly appeared and healed the two.

"Sakura…I'm sorry…for everything…." Sasuke said once she was done healing him as all the Bellas gasped.

"I think that might be the first time we've ever heard Sasuke apologize!" Emily noted.

"You may be right, Em." Ashley said with amusement in her face.

"You dumbass…you think…..an apology will fix everything…you….asshole…" Sakura spat through her tears as Kakashi smiled as he put his headband over where his Sharingan would normally be.

"Finally…they're back." Kakashi smiled as the scene suddenly jumped to Sasuke walking out of the village wearing a Black cloak.

"Are you kidding me!? He's leaving the village again!?" Amy yelled as the Bellas held her back from pummeling the memory version of Sasuke.

"I'm sure it's for a good reason….especially if that last memory told us anything." Emily said as everyone looked to see Naruto etched against a tree, a smirk of amusement on his face with his arms crossed.

"And here I was wondering where you were." Sasuke said as Naruto merely handed him something.

"Take this as a going away present." Naruto said, as Sasuke's eyes widened.

"….You still kept this thing?" Sasuke asked it the object was revealed to be none other than the discarded headband Sasuke left behind all those years ago.

"Of course. For next time…" Naruto smiled.

"Heh, alright then. I'll hold onto it until we have our REAL fight." Sasuke said as the two shared a nice smile of reconciliation before the last thing the Bellas all saw was the light of the Headband as the Bellas felt themselves becoming lighter before all was blank.

One by one, the Bellas opened their eyes as they all felt slightly light-headed and dazed from their experience as they noticed they were right back in the living room of the Barden Bella Household, right back in their real bodies.

They all looked around in confusion before seeing a very sheepish looking Naruto rubbing the back of his head bashfully as he sat on one of the couches.

"So….have a fun ride?" Naruto tried joking as all the women stared at him, their expressions blank. Naruto noticed their expressions as his smiled dropped, he could only imagine how they would feel after they saw everything.

"….Well…that was definitely a lot…" Chloe started, albeit slightly awkwardly.

"Pch, understatement of the century." Beca snorted.

"To think…you fought against an alien of all things…" Aubrey snorted, something sounding like a thing out of a manga.

"But I'm curious….if you lost your arm against Sasuke, how do you still have it?" Emily asked as Naruto laughed.

"Oh turns out our arms just blew off and Sakura and Kakashi found it as they traveled to the final valley." Naruto shrugged before lifting his jacket sleeve as the girls noticed there were stitches under the elbow of Naruto's arm.

"Although I can't fiddle with it too much or else Sakura or Granny Tsunade will give me hell." Naruto snickered remembering how he prodded with it one day after being bored and they came flying off.

"I still can't believe that Madara guy achieved his plan though…" Ashley crossed her arms as the Bellas cringed, remembering Zetsu's words about what would eventually happen to the people caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"And not to mention that Zetsu guy said we'd all turn into those Zetsu things." Beca cringed, not wanting to turn into a disgusting plant like thing.

"Yeah no thanks. I wanna have all the sex I want but I wanna do that without turning into that freaky thing." Stacie added as the Bellas weren't far off from disagreeing although they all looked at her disturbed, save for Cynthia Rose who wouldn't mind doing that with her.

"Does…she always think about sex?" Naruto asked the Bellas who sighed while nodding "yes".

'This girl would be perfect for Pervy Sage.' Naruto thought with a sigh although he couldn't deny how gorgeous Stacie was.

"I think being one of those Zetsu things would be kinda interesting." Lilly murmured though no one could understand her.

"Wait what?" Naruto narrowed his eyes trying to make sense of what Lilly said.

"Just pay her no mind. We can't understand her regardless." Emily sighed.

"I'm just happy that Sasuke found his way again." Jessica smiled.

"Yeah, he's dedicated himself to going around the world and helping people in order to repay and atone for what he's done. Though I understand his perspective, I can still respect him wanting to atone." Naruto smiled as the Bellas nodded, seeming satisfied with Sasuke's new path.

"Can I just say how much of a badass you were in those fights against Pain and even that Madara guy and Sasuke?" Cynthia Rose smirked as Naurot rubbed the back of his head bashfully.

"Yeah, I wish I could say I had your confidence over anything…" Beca looked at Naruto in jealousy as he merely laughed at her.

"Hehe, believe it or not there were several situations where I've been scared shitless! Like I was scared in fights like the ones I had against Gaara and Pain for example but I was able to reign in it!" Naruto grinned as Beca couldn't believe her ears but decided to shrug it off.

"But that reminds me…soon after…when you met up with Sasuke after that….. you said you would die with him…" Emily began as Naruto looked down, mentally face-palming as he should have known she would have seen that scene and would no doubt have some words about that scene.

"Why…why would you say something like that? What about our promise? Didn't that mean anything to you?" Emily asked in a voice, slightly choked as Naruto instantly felt regret about his words back in the Land of Iron.

"It wasn't that I forgot…it was just…I guess in my mind I thought I was being a burden on everyone…." Naruto started as Emily looked at him as if he was insane.

"Burden? Burden!? How can you say something like that!?" Emily demanded as Naruto was slightly taken aback along with the other Bellas, not expecting to see the once shy girl react so strongly.

"Legacy's mad…" Amy muttered.

"Shush!" Beca chided the Australian.

"Because….I felt like I was a plague to everyone….Akatsuki was after me…they destroyed the leaf village and killed Pervy Sage because of me….I guess I thought everyone would have been better off if I wasn't around….You too…maybe you could have found someone else…" Naruto was about to continue his self-loathing before a hand suddenly smacked its way around his face.

The Bellas all collectively gasped while Naruto stared at the brunette as she glared at him.

"You know, you really are stupid if you think that. You've done nothing but good in your life especially with what I've seen in your memories. You're nothing but a blessing to the world, a light in the darkness. Me and my friends know so whole-heartedly." Emily began as Naruto was silent, having been thoroughly told off.

"Em's right…you know where's she coming from, right?" Chloe asked as Naruto looked down.

"You need to remember one thing. Never be afraid to ask for help. If you need it you have your friends in the Leaf and also…you have us as well, don't forget that, okay?" Emily asked Naruto as a small smile adorned his lips. To think he made even more friends tonight when he wasn't even expecting it.

"…Yeah…yeah you're right…maybe…it's time I start thinking smart for a change….like Pervy Sage would have wanted…..I'll do it…" Naruto started.

"You'll do what?" Emily asked, wanting to hear it straight from his mouth.

"I'll make sure to remember everyone close to me and remember not to do everything by myself. That's my promise of a lifetime, you know!" Naruto grinned as all the Bellas smiled at Naruto but mainly at Emily.

"Well said, Naruto. Which is why over the course of your memories, we decided, if you really want to…..you have our blessings to be with Emily if you want!" Chloe smiled as they all cheered as a wide smile flashed Naruto and Emily's features.

"Thank you guys so much!" Emily was all but ready to jump up and down in the air in excitement while hugging her Aca-sisters as they all happily returned the gesture.

"Yeah thank you! I promise I won't make you guys regret this!" Naruto smirked.

"You better not or we'll be on you like cheese on macaroni, Uzumaki." Cynthia Rose smirked as Naruto tensed.

"N-noted…" Naruto gasped, this girl scaring him.

"Oh sorry! We're being rude. We haven't even introduced ourselves! I'm Chloe." Chloe smiled.

"Beca." Beca grinned.

"I'm Aubrey." Aubrey smiled, shaking Naruto's hand.

"Fat Amy, whiskers." Amy introduced herself as Naruto raised an eyebrow at the name.

"You…call yourself Fat Amy?" Naruto blinked, never meeting a girl who would ever admit that so proudly. Sai would definitely have a field day if he ever met her.

"Yeah so twig assholes like you won't call me that behind my back." Amy snapped as Naruto blinked.

"Uh….okay?" Naruto muttered before turning his other eyes to the other girls.

"Lilly." Lilly muttered as quiet as a mouse much to the Uzumaki's confusion.

"Florencia or Flo for short. And anytime you break up with Emily there, just know I'm available, handsome." Flo winked.

"Uh…..I doubt that'll happen anytime soon but thanks anyways…I guess…" Naruto remarked, slightly weirded out, making Flo pout at his reply.

"Stacie, cutie." Stacie winked, making Naruto slightly blush before regaining his composure.

"Cynthia Rose but you can call me CR, Mr. World Hero." Cynthia Rose grinned.

"I'm Ashley." Ashley smiled.

"And I'm Jessica and I just wanted to say thanks for everything you've done for the world." Jessica smiled as Naruto blushed at the praise though he was quick to note that Ashley and Jessica sort of reminded him of Izumo and Kotetsu.

"Haha well sure of course! It was nothing!" Naruto modestly replied as the Bellas giggled at Naruto's modesty.

"I gotta say Uzumaki, you're kinda cold. That Hinata girl nearly died you when that Pain guy invaded and you're just gonna leave her in the friendzone? Harsh." Beca smirked as she crossed her arms.

"Yeah Whiskers, dick move. And all for dumb Legacy right here?" Fat Amy crossed her arms with a smirk as Naruto looked sheepish.

"Amy…." Emily muttered at her insult towards her. Why did Amy mess with her so much? Oh well, she knew that despite all of that, Amy loved her like a Bella sister.

"Well it's not like I ever liked Hinata that way anyways. And besides I made a promise to see Emily again and here I am!" Naruto grinned as Ashley and Jessica cooed.

"Aww~! How sweet!" Ashley and Jessica smiled in adoration.

"Naruto, that makes me feel special." Emily smiled as she couldn't believe that Naruto was actually choosing her over Hinata and the other girls he wooed over in those memories she and the others had seen.

"So Naruto, do you love our little Legacy?" Stacie winked as Emily burned as red as the tomatoes Sasuke liked to eat.

"Stace!" Emily yelled though she was ignored. Though to be honest, Emily was wondering the same thing to.

"Well I wanna try to get to know her before doing and deciding anything. After all, the last thing I wanna do is lead on Emily as she doesn't deserve that." Naruto grinned his foxy grin as that response told the Bellas everything about his character. Well…everything they didn't already know, anyways.

"And we decided, if you want to, you can stay here and the couch is all yours." Chloe smiled as Naruto grinned, dreading he may have to sleep outside.

"Got it, thanks a ton!" Naruto grinned before an idea suddenly hatched in his head.

"Kurama show them…'that'!" Naruto grinned as Kurama paled, immediately knowing what Naruto was getting at.

"No way in hell, brat!" Kurama growled.

"Just do it!" Naruto snickered as Kurama sighed, realizing he was defeated, not to mention those dreaded Bellas would be on him also.

"Do what?" Beca asked as Naruto grinned before a chibi-fied version of Kurama appeared in a puff of smoke directly in front of Naruto.

It was a blank silence before…

"SO CUTE!" All the Bellas immediately glomped the tiny version of Kurama as Kurama groaned at the touch.

"I….HATE….YOU!" Kurama growled at Naruto who snicked.

"Love ya too, buddy!" Naruto snickered as the Bellas broke their hold on the tiny Tailed Beast.

"How'd you learn this?" Ashley asked, holding Kurama in her arms as Naruto snickered.

"Soon after the Fourth Great Ninja War was over, Kurama and I were just bored since there hasn't been any missions and we came up with a way for him to come out to the real world and that's what we got. I think that'd be less scary than having an 100 meter fox." Naruto shrugged.

"I can agree with that." Jessica said as Naruto smirked, knowing Kurama would definitely hate him for this.

"And since you two love snuggling with him the most, Ashley and Jessica, say hello to your new roommate Kurama!" Naruto laughed.

"WHAT!?" Kurama demanded.

"DEAL!" Ashley and Jessica beamed as the other Bellas groaned in jealously.

"Lucky…" Aubrey muttered.

"Bitches…" Amy growled in jealousy as everyone decided to turn in for the night, since they had spent a total of eight hours in Naruto's memories as it was now close to three in the morning.

With their new roommate, Ashley decided to ask her and Jessica's new roommate a question.

"So Kurama, I was wondering, if that older Sasuke erased Naruto's memories of Boruto, how does he still remember him?" Ashley asked as the tiny Tailed Beast scoffed at her.

"Oh please, you think some jutsu will work on something like me!?" Kurama demanded as the two women smiled at him.

"We know…about your treatment that you've gotten over the years but just know my friends and I are on your side." Jessica smiled as Kurama raised an eyebrow. Just because he was cool with Naruto didn't mean he was quite accepting of other humans but…..

"….Really?" Kurama asked as Team Jessley smiled at him.

"Of course, night Kurama!" Ashley smiled as Kurama was lost for words.

Meanwhile, Naruto couldn't believe his luck. He had reconnected with Emily and made ten more new friends!

"I should do something nice for them…but what….?" Naruto tilted his head before his eyes widened.

"That's it!" Naruto gleamed.

The next morning, a certain smell wafted through the noses of the Barden Bellas' as they all arose.

"What's that smell?" Amy asked, sniffing the air.

"It smells good!" Stacie smiled, drooling at the smell as her stomach grumbled.

"It smells like…ramen?" Chloe raised an eyebrow as they made their way downstairs as Naruto grinned at them.

"Good morning, Bellas! I figured while I'm here you all should get the unofficial Ichiraku Ramen experience so eat up before it gets cold!" Naruto proudly grinned as the Bellas decided to try Naruto's ramen as they sat down at each of the Eleven bowls, Naruto had set down for them.

"Enjoy girls!" Naruto grinned as the Bellas used their chop sticks and took one bite of the ramen.

…

"YUMMY!" was the collective tone as everyone quickly downed their ramen. Well everyone's except for Lilly.

"I've never had ramen so tasty!" Beca exclaimed not getting enough.

"Okay…this is the best ramen ever!" Chloe also exclaimed.

"In my country, noodles are a sign of prosperity." Flo noted.

"Who knew Naruto was a good cook?" Aubrey smiled as she couldn't believe she never had such good ramen before.

It was then both Naruto and the Bellas knew one thing….

For Naruto, he knew life would the Bellas, especially dating one, would no doubt be interesting.

And for the Bellas, they knew with Naruto around, life would only get better….

And that is the first chapter of the REVISED version of A Fishcake's Legacy!

I believe this very is VASTLY superior to the other version as this version included a small Team Kakashi moment at the beginning chapter followed by Naruto ACTUALLY interacting with some of the Trebles and the memory viewing being a BIT long with the Bellas actually interacting commenting on the memories I picked as the most important memories in Naruto's life and I also had Aubrey there with the Bellas since she's well…Aubrey! XD So yeah I think this version knocks the old version way outta the water! XD

Now next chapter will feature a small time jump into the future which is where my next question arises:

What other potential pairings would you all like to see in the story?

Some pairings I have thought about include the following:

Naruto/Emily-Since that was from the last version and I think they'd be just cute together! 3

Beca/Sasuke-Now you might think I'm crazy for this BUT if you think about it, they kinda go together with them being the "cool" sullen loners.

Stacie/Lee-Before you go WTF since The Bellas actually saw Lee vs Gaara, I have a feeling Stacie will actually wanna meet Lee and let's face it, can you blame her? XD

Shino/Lilly-Both loners in the background forgotten by everyone and who creep out their friends so...yeah XD

Aubrey/Kakashi-They kinda just go together! XD

Chloe/Gaara-? POTENTIALLY? XD

Flo/Sai-Both weirdos that talk shit nuff said XD

Probably Ashley and Jessica with someone else? XD

I dunno…but that's why it's up to you guys!

Or…should I just leave it Naruto/Emily?

Oh well I'm sure you all will let me know!

In any case, how is the story so far? Did it start out pretty good? Please let me know your thoughts on the story and also please let me know what potential couples you wanna see!

And with all that said, Chapter 2 will be coming out this coming Monday, January 27th so kindly expect it then! ^_^
