Third Person POV;

The next week went by fairly quickly and the village started to get ready for the Kyuubi festival. Dex also found a secluded place, where he could train. It's the Forest of Death. It's large and no one comes around. Well, almost no one.

Flashback no Jutsu; (Always wanted to write that^^)

“So this is the Forest of Death?”, the small child called Dexter mused before he crawled through a hole in the fence. The trees of this forest were truly huge and thick.

He walked for a few minutes and found a small clearing, where he proceeded to make a hundred clones.

“You all know the drill”, he then said and 80 clones began to try the tree climbing, while the other 20 started to read the copies of the Fuinjutsu book. The original is safely placed inside his inventory.

Shadow Clones are truly a cheat. Training for an hour with 80 clones means that he's training 80 hours. That means he gets the training of more than three whole days in under one hour. And the more clones he makes, the higher his reserves will grow, which means more clones and then higher reserves and faster training speed.

The combo of being an Uzumaki, Jinchuriki, and the Large Qi Capacity was a good idea, he thought and also started with the tree climbing.

For the next twenty minutes, the clearing was filled with the sounds of falling and shouting Dexters.

After the twenty minute mark he released them in packs of 10s and then made a hundred new ones. The accumulated knowledge and training of all these clones made him a bit exhausted but he, like Naruto, had high stamina and the training went way faster after that.

He did the same four times until he felt a Chakra signature closing in on him. The signature felt as large as a low Jonin, probably Anko. Only she is visiting the forest.

He quickly put the Fuinjutsu books away and released one clone after the other. The moment she reached him, he was finished and felt a bit sluggish from all the exhaustion.

“What is a Gaki doing here?”, she asked from behind him with a Kunai on my throat.

“Training”, was Dexter's reply and she put the Kunai away and looked down at him with a sadistic grin.

“So a child like you is training in my forest?”, she asked and put a little Chakra infused Killing Intent into her voice. Not enough to harm or even face him, but surely enough to frighten a normal child.

“Yes”, he said unconcernedly and her smile grew larger.

“hmm, hmm, so what were you training?”, she asked amused.

“Tree climbing”, was the only reply she got as Dexter started to run up a nearby tree.

“What's your name Gaki?”, she asked as Dexter stopped midway.

“It's common courtesy to say your own name before you ask for someone else's”, he replied cheekily.

“Then it's good that I'm not following common courtesy”, Answered Anko.

“Dexter Uzuki”, answered Dexter after he jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Anko.

“Uzuki? Are you that Gaki that Yuu-chan adopted?”, she asked a little surprised.

“Yuu-chan? Do you mean Yuugao-nee?”, asked Dexter.

“Yes, her. So she adopted you? Hmm, I certainly see that you look like her. Maybe she awoke her maternal instincts?”, said Anko and laughed loudly at the end.

“So who are you?”, asked Dexter, even if he already knew the answer.

“Me? I'm the sexy and single Mitarashi Anko”, she said and made a pose that exposed her large bust. She wore the same clothes she always wore during the anime. Which means a net shirt that only covers a little bit, her breasts visible beneath them. But she had nipple covers.

“Anyway Gaki, you can't train here. It's too dangerous for a child like you”, she then said seriously and grabbed Dexter by the collar and began to carry him out.

“But I want to surprise Yuugao-nee with the things I learn and there isn't a training ground, where I can train undisturbed”, said Dexter pleadingly and Anko stopped in her tracks.

“Surprising Yuu-chan? I think I like that. Gaki? I'll help you. From now on come to the fence at 8 am and I'll train you. When do you plan to show her what you can?”, she asked still with her sadistic grin on her face.

“On the 30th October, that's my birthday”, he said and she studied him a little closer. Suddenly her grin grew even larger.

“Then we have to train extra hard”, she said and put him down.

“Now run up that tree”, she commanded and Dexter did as she said, only to have a Kunai nick his left arm. His concentration broke and he fell back down.

“You have to pay attention to your surroundings, or you'll die on the battlefield”, she said highly amused and threw more Kunai. Dexter quickly evaded them and continued with his exercise. It may be slower than his Shadow Clone Jutsu, but it was still effective and gave him some training in evasion.

They trained for two hours until Anko said that they should take a pause.

“Damn Gaki, your Chakra reserves are high. Too much for a child to tell the truth”, she said and gave him two wooden sticks with four round balls pierced on them.

“What are these?”, he asked and took a bite. They were sweet, too sweet for his taste. But still okay.

He then looked at Anko, who already ate ten of these sticks.

“Dango, the food of gods”, she answered in a zealot tone.

“Everyone knows that chicken is the food of gods”, replied Dexter in an equal zealot tone. And he was somewhat right. He was once referred as a god and his favourite food was, is and will always be chicken.

Anko stopped eating and eyed him dangerously.

“Say that again, I think I misheard you. It seems like you flaunted the epicness of Dango and had the audacity to put something like chicken above it”, she said in a grave tone.

Dexter stayed strong under her gaze and said;”You know what I've said.”

“Hoho, are you sure you want to stay on that statement Gaki?”, she asked again and put a lot of Chara infused Killing Intent into her voice.

However, the Killing Intent Dexter felt from his torturers was way beyond hers and she still held back in consideration of him being a child.

“Yes, those who betray their beliefs are stupid”, Dexter said and Anko grinned happily.

“I like you Gaki. Say what are your beliefs?”, she then said and continued to eat her Dango.

“I'll only tell mine if you tell me yours”, said Dexter and got a slow nod from Anko's side.

“Okay, I have three things I believe in.

The first one is that you must stay true to whatever you do. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. You did it and you have to live with the consequences, which doesn't mean that you have to accept said consequences. This also means that you only do what you can agree onto. Never do things that don't conform with what you would do.

The second one is that you have to live your live to the fullest. Everyone can day each second. Be it an enemy Ninja or a heart attack. So don't hesitate and do what you want to do. You only live once and you won't get out alive.

And the third one, which I learned only recently. You can't protect what you like if you are weak, so train and remove all threats to the things you like or love”, said Dexter in an absolutely confident tone and Anko looked flabbergasted. A child, not older than five spoke words with such conviction and determination. Words, which are true and should be used as an advice for many people.

“These are some interesting things. Okay, you told me yours so now it's my turn.

I think that the pursuit of strength has its limits. You should never grow stronger at the cost of others.

The second thing is that you don't have to give a fuck about other peoples opinions. Only the opinion you have of yourself and the opinion of your friends matters.

And the third is similar to your second. It's to always use the opportunities given to you”, she said and ate the last Dango stick.

“I'll lead you out of the forest, can't have Yuu-chan killing me for allowing you to get eaten by one of the monsters here in the forest”, she said, stood up and motioned Dexter to follow her.

“See you tomorrow”, she said with a wave as he left the forest.

End of Flashback no Jutsu;

Other than that not much happened. Dexter and Yuugao grew closer and she got a habit of hugging him when she gets home.

Dexter never played with other children, which worried her a little, but she put it away. He might not yet be over the loss of Rufus.

Now it's the 30th October and Yuugao got a day of from the Hokage, who also agreed to come over under a Henge.

“Dex-kun, wake up”, said Yuugao as she woke Dexter up by stroking his cheek. He wasn't wearing his makeup, so his cute whisker lines were in full view.

Dexter still had his baby fat, as he never had to starve, and he looked utterly adorable. At least in Yuugao's opinion. Adopting him was one of her best ideas she ever had. He brings life into her apartment. Even if she never expected of him to act so mature.

She had him solve an IQ-Test and the results were shocking. His IQ was over 300.

(They used the old version. Mental Age/Age, the result will be automatically high. He got a test for four-year-old children and is thousands of years old.)

At first, they thought that the Yamanaka made a mistake with his evaluation, but the second and third tester confirmed his results.

Dexter seems to be a genius above geniuses. Not even the Naras can come up to that.

Unknowingly to her, Dexter knew of the test and solved some questions purposely false.

It made her think about what he would have been, would he have been supported from the start.

The movement of Dexter brought her out of her thoughts and she stroked his cheek one last time before she stood up from the edge of his bed.

“Morning Yuugao-nee”, he said sleepily.

“Happy birthday Dex-kun”, said Yuugao brightly and pushed something into his lap.

The still sleepy Dexter rubbed his eyes and then looked down. A small package was on his lap, wrapped inside red birthday present paper.

“A present? What's inside?”, he then asked excitedly. Presents are mostly cool, he once got some body parts sent by a sect that worshipped him. Those presents were not so good. The parts weren't fresh and they had to bury them. Well, the unwrapping is the best thing in all presents.

He tenderly and carefully unwrapped the present. Trying to not rip the paper and only make the glue loose. Yuugao smiled fondly as he opened the present so carefully and made a picture with her newly bought camera.

The paper was finally undone and inside he found a book, a book about teaching children how to read. He may know how to read, but that isn't known to Yuugao, so he smiled brightly and hugged her.

“Thanks, Yuugao-nee”, he said and released the hug, still holding the book and now looking through it. There were pictures of a cat that shows how to write the alphabet and other animals that had the signs of the fist letter of their name on their body. Like a T for the tiger.

“You already know what it is?”, she asked and put some clothes from his wardrobe on his bed.

“Uhu, a book that will help me to learn how to read”, he said and got quickly dressed.

“So you knew?”, she said a little sad.

“Knew what?”, was the reply she heard.

“That I'll give you a book about letters”, she said and looked over at him. He was again holding the book.

“No, but I recognise some of the letters and it's easy enough to understand the rest”, he said and walked over to her.

“It's a cool present: I'll be able to read in no time”, he said with a grin. True to his words, he was able to read in no time. He could already do it since birth.

“I'll know, you're my little genius brother. What do you like for breakfast?”, Yuugao asked, now happier that he was still surprised about her present, already imagining the reaction he will have, when Hokage-sama will come for dinner.

“Chicken curry!”, was the instantaneous reply she got.

“Curry for breakfast?”, she asked amused and started walking towards the kitchen. It was his birthday, so chicken curry it is.

“I love your chicken curry. And besides, my stomach doesn't care about what I eat”, he explained and set the table, while she began to cook. Shortly after he asked to help and she allowed him to wash vegetables and cut them.

He was surprisingly good with a knife.

“Hokage-sama will come for dinner, what do you think we should eat?”, she asked in thoughts.

“Fried chicken”, he said and she had to shake her head. He always wanted chicken, his love for chicken reminded her a little bit about a lightly clothed friend of her. Dear god, she hoped they would never meet and speak about their favourite food.

They ate the curry and Yuugao and Dexter then went to a training ground. She promised him to show him some exercises.

“Hello Yuu-chan”, said a feminine voice as they reached the training ground number 23. It's a small training ground, with a pond and an obstacle course.

They turned around and found Anko leaning on a tree.

“Anko-chan?”, asked Yuugao in wonder. Why is she here? She's normally inside the Forest of Death.

“Anko-san!”, shouted Dexter suddenly and run up to her and dived hugged her.

“Happy birthday Dex-kun”, said Anko smiling and a stunned Yuugao was left to watch as she buried Dexter between her breasts.

“You know him?”, she then asked and walked over to them.

“Yes, found him and we talked a bit, I then helped him for a little presentation”, Anko said with a grin.

“Presentation?”, asked Yuugao, not understanding what she means.

“Look Yuugao-nee, what I've learned”, shouted an eager Dexter from...upwards?

Yuugao looked up and saw Dexter standing vertically on the tree.

“You know how to climb trees?”, she asked amazed. Who have heard of a four-year-old that is able to climb trees with Chakra alone?

“Uhu, I wanted to surprise you. I'm even able to evade things while doing it”, he said proudly and Yuugao threw Anko a glance. Anko suddenly found the ground or the sky really interesting and that she had to whistle. Strange these sudden urges.

“Anko-chan, what did you do to my Dex-kun?”, she asked with a sickly sweet voice.

“Ahahaha, nothing? I only helped him?”, asked Anko back. Yuugao was ready to hit her fired over the head for harming her little brother but Dexter jumped down and prevented her from asking for some tips and the next exercise.

“The next one would be water walking, you have to apply the same rule on water. It's harder, because the water is in constant movement and the surface is easier destroyed”, she explained and watched him trying and failing after two steps. Anko was already forgotten by the sight of a soaked Dexter.

“That's too slow, I'll use shadow clones”, he suddenly said and Yuugao panicked. Anko doesn't know about his shadow clones and how much Chakra he has.

But it was already too late. Dexter somehow was already so good with the technique, that he only needed a single seal. He didn't even shout the name of the technique.

Thirty new Dexters popped up and they all tried to do the water walking exercise.

She slowly turned around and saw a slagged awed Anko staring at the group of Dexters.

“He...he... how?”, was all Anko was able to say and Yuugao had to come up with a story.

“He has a bloodline, that gives him extremely high Chakra reserves”, she said and it was partially true. Part of the Uzumaki bloodline gives high Chakra reserves. Just not this much.

“And the shadow clones?”, she asked.

“He somehow saw me doing them during the bandit extermination. You know that one, where I found him. Later that day he asked me if he is doing it right and made the signs and then simply activated the technique. I informed Hokage-sama and he agrees with me, that we should support him as best as we can. We let him make an IQ-Test and his results were higher than anything we've ever seen. Higher than a Nara”, explained Yuugao and hoped Anko would buy the lie.

“Okay, so you now have a genius little brother, who knows the memory function of the shadow clones and is able to utilize them effectively. All thanks to his bloodline?”, Anko asked to be sure and got a nod as an answer.

“I wish I had a little brother like him. On the other side, the villagers would make his life bad as well”, she said sadly and Yuugao put a hand on her shoulder to show that she is with her.

Anko is often treated badly by the villagers for her past allegiance with Orochimaru. Not as bad as they were towards Dexter, but still bad.

“Yuugao-nee, can Anko come over for dinner?”, one Dexter suddenly asked and they looked down at the soaked figure of a small boy.

“Oh, I'd love to. Can I Yuu-chan?”, asked Anko with puppy dog eyes. Dexter saw them and copied her. Three more Dexters came over and she was attacked by four overly cute Dexters and one Anko, who tried to look cute. The attack was devastating and she could only agree.

They spent the remaining morning and afternoon for training. Dexter didn't want to go to the festival. Anko didn't understand, but Yuugao did, painfully so.

It was late afternoon and they were at Yuugao's apartment. Dexter had his birthday present from Yuugao in front of him and Anko tried to teach him from it. He tried to look like he was learning it. He didn't know if he failed utterly or just failed. He put it under the category failed as they were impressed with his fast learning.

Yuugao just finished cooking as the doorbell rung and Dexter opened it. On the outside stood an elderly man.

“Yes?”, asked Dexter. He wasn't sure if this is the Hokage or some old man who's asking for directions.

“Hello Dex-kun, may I come in?”, asked the old man with a small smile.

“Ähm sure, Anko is also here”, Dexter answered and the man nodded before he stepped inside. Once inside he put the Henge down and the Hokage was revealed. They walked into the living room and Anko's eyes widened as she saw who came inside.

“Hokage-sama, what are you doing here?”, she asked.

“I'm here for little Dex-kun's birthday. I took a liking to him and Yuugao said that he has no friends as of yet”, he replied in a grandfatherly tone.

“I see, how nice of you”, said Anko.

Yuugao chooses that moment to come inside with a plate full of fried chicken and other foodstuff.

“Hokage-sama, please sit down. I already prepared the food”, she said and put the plate on the dining table.

“Yes, but before that, I have to give something to our birthday kid”, he replied and took a small box out of his robes. It had a single ribbon, preventing it from opening, on it.

“Here Dex-kun, I hope you like it. I heard from Uzuki-san that you were interested in it”, he said and gave the box into Dexter's hands, who didn't know what was inside. He quickly undid the ribbon and opened the box. Inside was a small card with his name on it.

“What is that?”, asked Dexter confused as he eyed the card from all sides.

“That is a library card and I took the liberty to add you rights for the academy student section. Higher rights will sadly only come with your increase in rank, if you so choose to become a Ninja that is”, he said and smiled as Dexter's eyes lit up over the imagination of the countless books he will now be able to read.

“Thank you Jiji”, replied Dexter.

“Not for that, so what is for dinner?”, he then asked and Yuugao showed him.

They ate and talked about many thinks, like Dexter's skill in tree climbing. The Hokage was also impressed with Dexter's skill in the shadow clone technique but didn't look impressed. It seems like Yuugao told him about it.

This confirmed Dexter's worries. She was informing the Hokage about his progress. This wasn't unsuspected, but still annoying and a reason for him to train in secret.

Anko left after dinner as she has a mission on the next day, so only Yuugao, the Hokage, and Dexter were left and Dexter choose this moment to ask a question that neither of the other two hoped to ever hear.

“Jiji, there's something I like to ask”, he began and Sarutobi instantly knew that it wasn't some good question. Dexter's tone was way too serious for that.

“Yes, Dex-kun? Ask away”, he replied.

“I tested to infuse my body with Chakra and found something on my stomach. It looks strange and hoped you could explain to me what it is”, Dexter said and the Hokage, as well as Yuugao, became pale.

“Can you please show me?”, asked a now deeply worried Hokage. He doesn't know if he should tell him or not.

“Sure”, replied Dexter. He then took his shirt off and focused Chakra in his stomach. His stomach then began to glow and the Reaper Death Seal became visible.

“I'm sorry Dexter, I don't know what that is. But I'm sure it isn't harmful”, he said and chose not to tell him about the secret. Dexter frowned at his answer. Sarutobi thought because he didn't know, but in reality, Dexter frowned because he lied to him. This would have consequences in the future, dire ones. But none of the other two knew of these as of yet.

The rest of the dinner was quiet and the Hokage left half an hour later. Yuugao brought Dexter to bed and went to sleep as well. Now only Dexter was awake in his bed. Thinking about the future, no one knew what this lie will bring for them.

Only Dexter knew and one thing was for sure, he couldn't trust the Hokage. And it was overtime to speak with his tenant.

Your opinion on the POV? Should I keep the third view or switch back to the first person or a mix between both?

I know they use Kanji, but I know shit about them, so bear with it.

I'm also not really telling the exact translation as I don't know them in most cases, but more the thing it does or what or what it is. I'm also going to use English names for most Jutsu.

Henge; It's the transformation into another person. It's basically an illusion cast over oneself that looks but isn't the other person. It's also not a physical transformation.

Bunshin; It's an illusionary clone. It makes a clone of oneself, that has no physical properties and no real usage. Most Ninja can instantly discern between a Bunshin and the real one.

Kinjutsu: These Jutsu are harmful or against ethics and are deemed forbidden by their respected Kage. Each village has them. They can be forbidden for being harmful for the user or because they need sacrifices like the Edo Tensei.

Edo Tensei; A Jutsu that uses a living sacrifice for summoning the souls of the dead. They are not truly alive and their will can be controlled by the summoner. They have unlimited stamina, Chakra and can reform their bodies almost instantly.

Hiraishin; The priced Jutsu of Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash. This Jutsu allowed him to “teleport” between set locations. He used these anchors on his Kunai and was then able to “fly” between his enemies and teleporting between them. The Yellow Flash was because a yellow flash was created when he used this Jutsu. Probably because his hair was yellow.

Reaper Death Seal; That's the seal that contains one-half of the Kyuubi's Chakra and Soul. It's often theorised that the Kyuubi will die for sue if Naruto dies. But it isn't said during either the Manga or Anime. At least not that I know.

Naruto has the Yang half of the Kyuubi's Chakra.
