Hello beautiful readers! My other story was going nowhere, so I abandoned it. Focusing on a new story, and actual regular basis updates! Got a new pen name! PLEASE REVIEW! I'm experimenting with my stories and I need, need, NEED reviews and suggestions! Thanks. ON WITH THE STORY!

A distant scream of "FUCK!" echoed through the fairly quiet streets of Konoha. As early in the morning as it was, this was normal for the village. A 15 year old Naruto was back to training intensely very early in the morning. Something that all of the villagers certainly didn't miss while Naruto was gone, but it was kind of like having a rooster call wake you up.

"Fuck! Ow, goddamnit…." The mentioned blonde chunin (Yeah, fuck it. This is AU. Naruto came back and took the chunin exams.) was bundled up in an uncomfortable looking position after his extremely tiring training. He practiced his rasengan, which could now be performed almost without attention in one hand, with two hundred clones. He divided them evenly, each of them working on adding a different elemental chakra to the rasengan. While his clones trained, the real Naruto was looking through the scroll he received upon his coming back to Konoha. When he saw the label, 'Namikaze special techniques', he was fucking excited. Scratch that, he couldn't keep his eyes or hands off of it. This brings us to the uncomfortable looking position he was currently in. He had read up on the famed Hiraishin technique that was in the scroll. The scroll broke down the information of the seal, making it simpler. To Naruto's credit, he was a very smart guy. Scratch that, he was a genius. If he wasn't slacking off in his academy days, he could probably pass the arrogant asshole Uchiha. Anyway, he was smart. He understood the technique, and made his own Hiraishin seal for the first time. He attached the scroll to a normal kunai, and threw it at a tree, efficiently lodging it into the wood. He activated the technique, saying (not too loudly) "Hiraishin!" Even though he knew it wasn't necessary, he thought it sounded really cool. The technique worked perfectly, but the regular kunai was thrown off balance because of the weight, leading to his uncomfortable situation. He was letting off a stream of frustrated curses, until he sensed someone come out of the forest behind him.

"Um…" A quiet voice spoke. He noticed the voice immediately, and relaxed. He still closed his scroll and slung it over his back, just in case. "U-uh, Naruto-kun… I couldn't help but overhear you, a-and I came t-to check it o-out…" She managed to get out quietly. She's cute when she stutters… Okay focus damn you! We need to fix her confidence problems. I know she likes me, maybe I can ask her out and help her feel loved and help her regain confidence. Naruto thought with a smile towards Hinata.

"Hey Hinata!" Naruto said cheerily. "What's up?" She smiled weakly. Anybody with a brain could tell she was extremely nervous around him because she liked him. A lot. Sigh… We really need to get that straight. Maybe we can train? "Sorry about the noise," Naruto said suddenly. "But I train really hard really early. Say, if you're up with me, would you like to train with me?" She looked like she would almost faint on the spot. Did Naruto-kun just ask me out? Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! Okay, stay focused Hinata, you gotta do this! Her face toned down a few shades of red, regaining some natural color.

"Yeah, sure Naruto-kun. I would really love that." YES! I didn't stutter at all! Oh… Naruto-kun is already helping me! I really love him… "Really?" Naruto asked. "Thank you Hinata-chan!" Naruto was already helping Hinata progress. His thoughts were still on the scroll… To get started, he took his scroll off his back. Hinata caught herself staring at him. He had certainly grown these past years. He changed his outfit from that orange 'kill me now' vest. He had a long black cloak with orange flames at the bottom of it flowing over his other clothes. His cloak was the same form as the Yondaime Hokage's awesome cloak, just a different color. Under his cloak, he was wearing a standard black shirt, as well as slightly baggy black pants and standard shinobi sandals. What surprised Hinata were 2 things. She caught a glimpse of a sword strapped across his waist under his cloak, and while he took off the Namikaze scroll he left his toad contract scroll on. He assumed a defensive position.

"Well, Hinata. Come at me with all you've got."

Okay! Yeah, I know. Short chapter… I just wanted to kick off my new story. So, yeah. Please review and tell me what you think! I'm desperate for some tips since I'm still new. If anyone wants to use ideas or beta my stuff, hit me up with whatever. Thanks for reading! Hopefully, I will be updating this weekly. About the story itself, it seems like it's shifting into a NarutoxHinata thing, but I'd rather do something with him and Ino. Oh yeah, I'm overpowering the shit out of Naruto. Gonna give him an awesome bloodline 'n shit… All right, enough rambling. REVIEW PLEASE!
