Hello everyone I'm start my first fan fiction here so let me know the good the bad and the ugly. Also in this story the graduate at 16 instead of 12. You will notice that most characters are OC. Everything will follow the same trend more or less anyway. Well I won't say everything more like the really major events, although there will be my own events overshadowing the original so let's get going.

Oh yeah I DON"T OWN NARUTO but I do own Xaden and Raza

CHAPTER 1 A FORBIDDEN ART

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

" Sorry Naruto but you fail" said Umino Iruka looking at the terrible excuse for clones beside the current student. Naruto was about 5"11 and almost stood as tall as him. He had cerulean blue eyes and bright blonde hair. He had on a orange jogging suit with patches of black on the elbow and around the shoulders. It also had black where his knees should be. If he were to turn around you could see the Uzamaki clan symbol on his back. It consisted of a red spiral.

" Don't worry Naruto I'm pretty sure we can work something out. Maybe some extra credit to help you pass." Iruka said trying to cheer up the crestfallen blonde. Naruto gave Iruka a small sad smile and walked out the door.

Once outside Naruto strode over to his desk and sat down lost in his own thoughts. "Man I can't believe I failed the exam because of some stupid clones. I mean I have more chakra than the Hokage for crying out loud. I'm one of the top three ninja in the class. Well they don't know that but it's true.". He looks over to his left to find Uchiha Sasuke with his eye's close and his headband tied to his forehead. He had jet black hair that looked like a ducks butt and he usual blue shirt with white shorts that came a little over his knees. Like him Sasuke had his clan symbol on his back. It looked like a round ball with the top half red and the bottom half white. The white part looked like it was melting a piece away. Sasuke had to be about one inch shorter than Naruto. As far as grades go Sasuke wins hands down. He the rookie of the year this time around. Then he looked over to Shino Aburame. Shino hardly talked to anyone though out the whole seven years in the academy. Out of all the years Naruto could only remember talking to Shino about five or six times. Even though he is silent Shino is one of the top fighters in the class. Shino was about the same height if not a little taller than Naruto. Now the thing that made Shino so deadly is that he never really showed his true skill. Although the same could be said for Naruto and Sasuke as well. After all a ninja's best weapon is the element of surprise. Now Shino wore a gray coat that covered his entire body except for the upper portion of his face. Then he looked to his back and saw Kiba Inuzuka. Kiba is like me other than the fact I'm using a mask to hide my true self. Kiba is loud and loves to show of his strength. He wore black pants and an a gray over coat . Kiba always use his dog Akamaru in fights to gain the number advantage of his opponents and to confuse them. I will admit that he's good but not on a level where he'll be a threat. At least not now anyway. Naruto turns back towards the front and finds Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi. Now Shikamaru is a wild card as far as ninja skills go he 's not that great but his mind is sharper than anyone in the village. Next is Choji. Don't really have to much on him other than what I know of his clans Jutsu.. They can expand their bodies to inhuman sizes. But once again he doesn't really us them that much. I've seen him use them once or twice. They were ok but not overly impressive. Next we have the Kunochi of the class. Only three of them are noteworthy. Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, and Hinata Hyuuga. Out of the three Hinata has the best taijutsu since her clan specializes in it. Hinata is the second prettiest out of the three in my book. The main distinguishing feature about Hinata is her white, pupil less eyes. Then there's Sakura she has the best chakra control out of them so that makes her genjutsu top notch. Sakura's bubblegum pink hair allows her to stand out in crowds. She would be the third prettiest to me. Now there's Ino. Ino's clan specializes in mind related Justus's . Their signature jutsu is the mind transfer jutsu. The technique can be very effective but has one major draw back, and that's it takes a bit of time for their mind to reach the target so the target has to be stationary for it to work. As I get done with my observation I feel someone looking at me. I Turn my head and find Sasuke staring at me with an unreadable expression.

" What?" asked Naruto

"Hn, I thought you'd pass is all I guess my analysis of you was incorrect." Replied Sasuke returning his gaze to the window.

" Yeah , well that's to be expected from the dead last of the class." Yelled Kiba which made everyone else start laughing. Except for a select few Ino looked a little upset and Shino.. well Shino just remained the same as always.

"I'm surprised you even made it this far." Taunted Kiba. "After all the test you've failed you'd think they would drop you out the program. This made those who were laughing laugh even harder. I try and ignore all the laughing and taunting, but it become to much for me I get up and start to leave the class room. Before I get to the door I hear Kiba throw one more shot at me. " aww what's the matter little baby going to go cry home to mama. Oh yeah I forgot you don't have any parents. At this the classrooms erupts with laughter. It become to much for me and I run out the door tears almost falling from my eyes.

" You know Kiba That was just lowdown. I can't believe you would say something like that." Said Ino

" What's wrong you don't like anyone picking on your boyfriend?" asked Kiba with a smirk

Ino blushes for a sec before replying. " He's not my boyfriend but what you did was just low you mutt"

Kiba growls at her and is about to jump at her when Iruka come in as gets them all to sit down and listen to what he says.

" Well now that you all have graduated you are now full fledged Genin and are about to take your fist steps in the ninja world. Before you go I want to tell you all something for you to carry with you.." Starts Iruka "Take a look at your fellow Genin around you. You might not see some of them after tomorrow ,when you receive your instructor , because this is now a job of life and death. You may go in a simple escort mission and have to fight a nuke-nin, or for the kunochi you may get captured by enemy Shinobi and have to experience some very bad things." Some of the females had panicked looks already knowing what Iruka was saying.. " You may even be betrayed by those sitting right next to you." glances were shot around the room from person to person. " You may have to rely on someone when you least expect it so treat each other with respect and help each other with their weaknesses. The stronger the ninja of a village the stronger the village is. So with that said meet here tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. sharp." as he finished all the student left some going out the windows some going out the door. Every one was feeling good except one blonde Shinobi.

Naruto sat alone on top of his apartment looking over the village. "man this sucks I can't stand to go back to the academy for another year." Thought Naruto

" WELL IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU HAVE ALL THAT CHAKRA" came the deep voice of the Kyuubi

Naruto had found out about the Kyuubi when he turned 13. It was one of the worst night of his life.

(Flashback)

A 13 year old Naruto was running down the street trying to get to his house as a mob of villagers were in hot pursuit. This time was different from all the other times. This time they were really trying to kill him. He already had multiple stab wounds in his back, a bleeding forehead and a broken left hand. He had been running for what seemed like hours but he could never lose them. Usually they would just be civilians and the occasional ninja, but he could escape no problem after all he had the best evasion and stealth out of all the people in the village, but when you have about a dozen Jounin ninja after you tend to get nervous and slip up which is how he found himself down on the ground..

"Yes we got you now demon" cried a random villager.

" What's wrong with you people I have done nothing to any of you yet you're trying to kill me?" asked a crying Naruto

Shut up you demon brat." said one of the ninja as he stabbed a kunai in my left leg the pulled it out and stabbed me in myh right leg. I scream out in pain begging pleading for them to stop.

"Ahahahah yes demon feel our pain fell all our pain and die Kyuubi." said the same Shinobi from before but this time the kunai was heading to his heart.. Time seemed to slow down for Naruto.

" Is this how I die. Heh well at least the pain will be gone and I can live or rest in peace.

" OH NO YOU DON'T YOU'RE NOT GIVING UP THAT EASILY. YOU ARE MY VESSEL AND YOU WILL NOT BE PUSED AROUND NO MORE." came a deep terrifying voice

" Who's that?" asked Naruto

" IT'S I KYUUBI AND I'M NOT SITTING AROUND ANYMORE JUST TO WATCH MY VESSEL GET PUMMELED AND DIE. THEY WANT TO SEE YOU AS A DEMON THEN LET'S GIVE THE A SCARE THEY WILL NEVER FORGET." Yelled Kyuubi as the kunai got closer the ninja was blown back as a blast of red chakra enveloped Naruto causing the debris to fly around him. All around Kohona the power was felt and of those who knew of the Kyuubi could only freeze and they relive their worst nightmares. The Mob that was attacking Naruto started to step back in fear as all the wounds they inflicted were healed and he started to stand up.

" Ahhhh run the demon is free and wants revenge ." yelled one of the villagers as they try and get away another pulse of chakra sends them into the wall around them knocking them all out. After that was done the red chakra went back into Naruto who fell on the ground unconscious. As that happens the Hokage appears with a team of anbu and order them to arrest everyone there and send them to Ibiki.

"DON'T WORRY KIT I'LL PROTECT YOU SINCE ALL OF THIS IS MY FAULT." Said the Kyuubi as it lays down and closes it's eyes.

(End of Flashback)

"That may be true but it still sucks I mean how is a simple image going to keep you from getting killed in the real world" quested Naruto

" Good Point there." said Kyuubi

" Hey Fox. Man it's been a rough day. Failed the stupid exam" said Naruto

" I know I've been watching. But I'm pretty sure something will come along" said Kyuubi already sensing Mizuki's Chakra signature coming towards him.

"I guess so. Well no use crying over spilled milk. Might as well get some training done." said Naruto. As he was about to leap off the building and head toward the training ground he sense Mizuki's chakra signature head towards him so he decides to wait. About five minutes later Mizuki appears behind Naruto.

" Hey Naruto." said Mizuki Naruto Jumps acting surprised. After all still have to maintain the dead last persona.

" ahhh Mizuki sensei you scared me!" yelled Naruto

" sorry Naruto but I was just coming to tell you about the extra credit was to pass." started Mizuki. This got Naruto's full attention. Mizuki saw this . hehe hook line and sinker

"We decided to put your strongest attribute to the test."

" and that would be what?" asked Naruto

" Your stealth." answer Mizuki " Your stealth is the best in the village."

" Ok so what do you want me to do?" asked Naruto

" Well all you have to do is ….

Later that Night

Naruto sat alone on top of a tree branch searching the area for any sign of Mizuki or Iruka. After he couldn't find them he opened up the scroll and read over it. "might as well take a look and get some new Justus's" thought Naruto.

" Alright let's see first we have the Forbidden art of fusion." read Naruto " Hmm never even heard of a jutsu like that" as he read over the scroll he noticed a seal to the side. He focused a little bit of chakra and there was a poof of smoke and when it cleared there were a pair of swords sitting in his lap. The swords were in a black sheath with a gold dragon flying up towards the top. He unsheathed one of the swords and saw that the blade was as clear as a crystal and it shined in the moonlight. Being curious on how sharp the blade was he tries and touch the blade. As soon as his finger makes contact with the blade a cut appears on his finger and the blade glows golden for a second before it the glow stops. " What the fuck was that" thought Naruto. He re-sheathes the first sword and tries to unsheathe the second but it wouldn't budge. He tries adding a little chakra but his efforts were in vain. He looks back at the scroll and notices another insert under the seal.. the art of fusion can only be accomplished though the use of the fusion swords. Once the sword has been linked together with a person by blood the no one else will be able to use it and only the person who has been linked with the other sword will be able to fuse ."so I need to find someone to fuse with but who ?" thought Naruto . he would have pondered it for a little while longer, but decided to figure it out later. He continues on reading and come across the next jutsu on the list shadow clone Jutsu.." Great another clone technique." sulked Naruto. He continues to read on. The shadow clone is a very advance clone technique.. The reason why it's forbidden is because it takes the users chakra and splits it among the number of clones created, so most suffer from chakra exhaustion. This clone can be used as recon as well because whatever a shadow clone learns the users learns as well once the cloned is dispelled either willingly or unwillingly. "Whoa, now that's awesome." thought Naruto he continues to read and finds the seals for the technique. After he gets the seals down he starts practicing.

2 Hours Later

"Yes I did it. Now Iruka sensei will have to pass me" thought Naruto " Well time to move to the next one." As he starts to read the scroll he hears an alarm go off in the village, and several chakra signatures headed in his direction. "Well this doesn't look good." thought Naruto as he start to roll up the scroll he gets a stroke of genius and decides to copy the instruction for the Justus's in the scroll. He made a couple of shadow clones and copied them down. When they were done he took the scrolls and rolled them up and put them in his jacket . He also strapped the swords to his back so that each sword went from shoulder to his lower back so that the are overlapping. " Man I still have to find someone to fuse with." As he finished his mental rant he sensed Iruka was about five minuets away.

As Iruka appears in the clearing he see Naruto looking off in the opposite direction.

" Naruto!!" Yelled Iruka

" Hey Iruka sensei did I pass? " asked Naruto now looking at Iruka

Iruka's Face contorts in confusion " Pass What?" asked Iruka

" Well remember you said you would give me some extra credit to pass." stated Naruto

Iruka nods his head " That's true but I never told you what it would be. I was on my way when the Hokage told us you had stolen the forbidden scroll."

Now it was Naruto's turn to look confused " But, Mizuki sensei said you sent him to tell me of the extra credit." replied Naruto

Realization Dawns on both of them as Mizuki enter the area

" Well it looks like the demon has figured it out aww too bad you die today.!" yelled Mizuki as he threw a Fuma shuriken at the duo they jump in opposite directions.

"It seems as though the demon is not as helpless as I thought." sneered Mizuki

"I'm far from helpless Mizuki" replied Naruto " beside it's two on one

" Haha you think Iruka will help you demon. Do you even know why everyone hates your guts and wishes that you burn in Hell for eternity. Well?! Do you.?" asked Mizuki " I'll tell you it's because 16 years ago the fourth didn't kill the Kyuubi he…as he was about to finish he was cut off by Naruto

" He sealed the demon fox within me." said Naruto getting shocked expressions from both Iruka and Mizuki

" You knew?" asked Iruka still shocked that Naruto knew already

" yup and I would appreciate it if you all would stop calling me a demon." said Naruto

" Ho..how long have you known.? Asked Mizuki

"About four years now." said Naruto looking away again

" it doesn't matter demon you will still die!!" yelled Mizuki trying to catch the blonde off guard. Before the shuriken could hit it was deflected a team of anbu appeared along with the Hokage.

" Mizuki you are hereby sentenced to execution for crimes of high treason and revealing and SS class secret." stated the Hokage in an commanding voice. And with that Mizuki's head fell of his shoulders courtesy of the Koala masked anbu. The area was silent as the anbu returned the scroll to the Hokage. The Hokage nods toward Iruka and then turns to Naruto.

" We shall Discuss what you have learned tonight another day Naruto." said the Hokage he receives a nod from the blonde. Turning around to walk away. After taking a few steps the Hokage stops and turns to Naruto with a smile. " By the way Naruto." at this Naruto give the old man his full attention." Congratulation on passing your Genin Exam." as he tosses Naruto a new head band who catches it and notices that instead of the normal navy blue the cloth is gold..

" Thanks old man." said Naruto as he gives them one of his fox grins

" So how about we go get some ramen for celebration?" asked Iruka as everyone else left.

" Sure Iruka Sensei" replied Naruto as they start to walk away. "Now I'm one step closer to fulfilling my dreams" thought Naruto

Well that's it for chapter one. So let me have all those wonderful reviews. I can't promise how often I'll update because I'm a very busy person it could be another month before I update or another day. You just never know so be on the lookout.

" Just what I said I wear weights" replied Naruto

" Hn even if you did have your weights off you still would have lost dobe." commented Sasuke

" Well what do you say we make a wager to our next spar?" Asked Naruto

" Fine deal." said Sasuke thinking he could still win

" ok if you can make me bleed then I'll give you the other sword on my back" stated Naruto

" and if I can't?" asked Sasuke

" If you can't." Started Naruto with an evil gleam in his eye.
