Jero first met naruto when he was 4 years old, he wasnt from konoha originaly so he nor his parents had any idea what naruto was. The hokage was estatic hearing that Naruto had made a friend finaly, making any question he had about letting the family into the village disapear.
4 years later "hey naruto! hurry up its our first day at the academy!" Jero went over to narutos early so they could go to school together. Naruto came running out in his usual orange jumpsuit, " YEAAA! Were going to become great ninja! BELEIVE IT!". Jero jumped in excitement. Jero had short brown hair and blue eyes, he wore baggy white pants and a white hoodie with the zipper undone showing his black tshirt underneath with his clan logo (jero belonged to the akime clan, they once had a kekkie genkai but it had not been seen in a akime in 2 centuries) the white was complimented by the black fur lining the hood of his sweater and his black belt and shoes. The two shinobi hopefuls arived at the ninja academy before anyone else. "Hello boys welcome to the ninja acedmy" a tall man with a scar on his nose smiled down at them. "My name is Umino Iruka, but you can call me Iruka-sensai, I am going to be your teacher!"
The two boys straitend there back avoiding there usual slouch "I am Uzumaki Naruto! and i am going to be hokage!" the young blond thrusted his fist into the air smiling; "And I am Akime Jero! I am going restore my clans name!" the boy thrusted his oposite fist into the air. Iruka noticed how similer the two boys were "heh. well both of you sure have your work cut out for you, but with hard work and persistance im sure you will conmplete your goals!" Both boys reminded him of the younger foolish kid he once was.
The rest of the class had filed in and took seats near the back. Both naruto and jero took the closest seats possible sitting beside eachother. Iruka couldn't help but think about how much promise this batch of students had. From the inuzuka boy to the hyuuga girl there were sevrel reputable clan childrin in this class inclueding the last of the uchiha clan. "Now students. i am Iruka I will be your teacher!" a smile formed on his face as the students quieted down and began to listen.
2 months later Iruka sat going over his papers. this batch had proven to be a overal very smart group. Naruto seemed to be having trouble with the academy at first but he noticed that Jero had started to explain things in a way naruto could understand and he had started to pick up his marks. Jero himself having one of the highest marks in his class only beat by Uchiha Sasuke, Hurano Sakura. and Abarame Shino. He suspected Shikamaru was holding back and being lazy but had no way to prove it. Irukas thought were cut short by a load question from Naruto. "Hey Iruka! I thought our first combat assesment was hapening this week!" Iruka smiled he ahd been looknig foreward to seeing how some of his students would fair in a battle. "Yes Naruto. That is tomorow make sure you get a good nights sleep tonight and come prepared." Iruka waved his class out dismissing them a few minutes early today so he had more time to get his papers graded.
Naruto stayed over at Jeros for the night, he had been doing lot of this latly Jeros parents were groing used to having naruto around. "Hey jero? do you think that im going to do good tomorow?" Naruto felt unsure of his abilities for the first time. "Hm? oh yea Naruto your going to do just fine i know it!" Jero was destracted by his thoughts about restoring his clan if he could win the mini tournament it ment he had to train harder. Other thoughts of Hinata were floating through his mind, if he couldn't win the tournament he would settle for impressing Hinata. "Jero! Naruto! come out here we are going to meet the hokage!" Jeros father shouted calling for them. Both boys looked at eachother with excitement and confusion before running out to join the adults.
"ah. your here." the hokage welcomed the group with a smile as the enterd the room.
"So you have decided then?" the hokage directed the question towards the man that stood behond Jero (his father). The man smiled "yes hokage-san I have. We wish to adopt the young Naruto here." Jero was stunned, what did his father mean adopt naruto. "What do you mean you want to adopt me?" Jeros question would be answered as it seemed Naruto had the same question. "Well we want to be your legal gaurdians, you don't have to call us mom and dad but if you want to you can" Jeros miother had a nervous look on her face. The Hokage had the same feeling, would Naruto accept the adults as his gaurdians? Naruto finaly realizing what they ment jumped up and hugged the woman startling her "th-thank you m-mom" tears rolled down Narutos face he now had a family and his best friend, Jero, would now be his brother.
The next mourning "Class line up here so i can pair you into apponints!" the young students lined up no one wanting to stand near the stronger students in the class to avoid a early knock out. "ok so round one we have, Kiba vs. Shino, Naruto vs. Sasuke, Sakura vs. hinata vs. ino, and Jero vs. Shikamaru"
