"Demon" "Monster" "Fiend" "Traitor" "Murderer" These words were whispered through the streets, aimed at a small child with sky blue eyes, and bright blond hair, his most distinctive features however, would be the three whisker marks on his face. His name is Naruto Uzumaki, currently, he was five years old, huddled against the wall in an alley, surrounded by a pool of his own blood, His eyes stared blankly at the wall across from him as his wounds slowly closed, his bones knit back together, and his body was repaired, from injuries that would have left grown men long dead. Inside the seal on his stomach, a massive red orange colored fox growled as he watched his host.

"Damn humans..." He growled. "Attacking an innocent child." He turning away once he was sure the child would survive. "This is why I hate them. Be better if they'd all just die..." He laid down to take a nap, not noticing the thoughts going through the child's head. Thought that would change the world.

Naruto dashed through the streets, currently seven years old, he came across his target, a nine year old, homeless boy, being roughed up by three adult men, he leaped into the air, striking one over he head with a glass bottle, knocking him unconscious, he flipped and kicked the second in the jaw, sending him down as well, he spun and his foot connected with the chest of the third, cracking several of his ribs, sending him into a wall, where his head hit with a solid thump, his eyes glazed over as he lost consciousness, and slumped to the ground.

Naruto landed and looked at the boy who was looking up at him in fear. He held out his hand. "Come on. I have food and shelter."

The boy's eyes brightened and let Naruto help him up, despite being two years older than the blond. "T-thank you... Uh, I don't know your name."

He grinned. "Call me Kitsune for now."

The boy nodded. "Okay, My name is Toge, lead the way... Kitsune."

Naruto nodded. "Anyone else you want to grab before we go?"

His face brightened. "M-My sister, Buraia."

Naruto nodded. "Where is she?"

He pointed to a a girl about naruto's age, wearing rags, much like Toge, leaning against a wall, begging for money.

Naruto nodded. "Okay go grab her, I'll be waiting around the corner."

Toge nodded, and went to get his sister.

"Whoa!" Buraia said, her purple eyes wide in wonder as she looked at the stone walls of the large tunnel they were in. "Where are we?"

"The sewers." Naruto replied. "Or, I should say, the old sewers, before the new ones were put in place, eighty years ago, these are long forgotten."

Buraia let out a high pitched shreak when a ran beside her, brushing against her foot. "W-What was that?!"

"A rat." Naruto replied. "Like a big mouse, also one of our main food sources here."

"Our?" Toge asked.

Naruto nodded as they stepped into a large circular chamber, where eleven other children, ages varying from six to twelve, were sparing, and practicing katas copied from scrolls that were stolen from the library, and returned once copied. Against the wall was a make sift table where a two girls stood, one twelve and the other thirteen, one had a small pile of rats that had been thoroughly cooked, and was cutting them apart, and cutting the meet off the bones, and dropping the meet into a large, dented iron pot filled a quarter way with water, while the other was cutting the rot off vegetables, then chopping the vegetables up and throwing them into the pot as well, the pot itself was setting on a small stand, over a flame, the smoke flowing through several holes in the ceiling, each being an old sewage line that had lead to the main chamber, which they were in. Said smoke was dispersed throughout the city almost unnoticed.

"Naruto!" A boy looking to be eight said, jogging over to them. "You're back! And you got two more..." He said.

Naruto nodded. "How's Megane doing?"

The boy grunted. "He says he's almost got it."

"Good. And Shrudo? I heard you saved Hana"

Shrudo looked sheepish, rubbing the back of his head. "We're all one here right?"

Naruto grinned. "Yeah yeah, we all know you've got the hots for her. Anyway, how's the training going?"

"G-good." He replied, flustered.

Naruto nodded. "Good, Toge, Buraia, welcome to the family." He said as he turned to the two. "Here we train and fight to protect and save those like us, those who have no home, and no one to care for us." He held out his arms. "All in need will be welcome here." He smiled at the two. "So settle in, if you need something, ask me, if it has to do with sleeping arangments, food, or health problems, ask Suzuya, she's the elder at the table." He said. "She's my partner in managing our little organization."

The two nodded, and smiled, then their stomachs grumbled, and they looked away sheepish.

Naruto laughed. "Don't worry the food should be ready within the hour. Though, you must know, we don't have a lot, so while we are here to protect and shelter you, we expect you to help pull your weight, if you need something to do to help, ask Suzuya if you want to stay inside the sewers where it's save, if you want to do something more risky, like stealing food and supplies, come to me. Though, for the second, you will have to train and be tested before we send you out, don't want you getting hurt for a meal. But, for now, get settled in, make your choice within five days."

The two nodded, and headed over to a wall, where they sat close together.

Naruto gave a soft smile, then headed out again, putting on his 'stupid innocent boy' look, before he exited the tunnels through a service shaft in one of the old buildings that were no longer in use. He headed out into the city again, acting as if he was nothing more than a foolish boy.

Naruto gave a yawn as he sat through the academe, or, more like, his clone sat through the academe. After having observed several ambu training with shadow clones through a lens from afar, one that one Megane had created, the glasses wearing youth was a genius when it came to build small complicated things, unfortunately after having his leg shattered when a crate of food fell on it, he had been deamed as 'useless' to the orphanage owners, and cast out, soon after, Naruto had found him and helped him into the sewers, where he worked on several items to help out.

The numbers of those in the sewers had risen, and were still climbing. With an average of fourty orphans a year, and the orphanage only 'claimed' twenty fiver percent of those, and another twenty five percent died, that left fifty percent to be taken into the, now named, House of Shadows, plus all the orphans that had 'piled up' in the streets before Naruto created his organization, their numbers were near two hundred.

The bell rang, pulling Naruto out of his thoughts, and the students all left.

"Naruto!" Iruka called.

The clone stopped in his tracks before turning and going back. "Yeah Iruka?" He asked.

The Chunin sighed. "Naruto, you've fallen behind, AGAIN. You need to pay more attention."

He nodded. "Yeah I'll get caught up ~Dattabayo."

Iruka nodded and let him go, he dashed through the halls, exiting the building, very aware of the Hyuuga Heiress that was watching him. He cringed inwardly, he dashed away, away from the girl who was infatuated with his persona. He sighed as he vanished into the streets and allies, using his stealth to loose the Ambu who was tasked with keeping an eye on him, before dispelling himself under cover of a cooling unit, hiding the 'smoke' of his dispersion.

The real Naruto perked up once his clone expelled, then his eyes fell on the seventy 'Shadows' he was training. He slipped his arms behind his back. "Again!" He said, and watched as three quarters of them used the standard fireball jutsu, before using the fire shot jutsu, firing through the smoke screen at the moving targets, doing their best to track them with sound, most were successful in striking their intended target.

While the fire users were training, there were a group of ten training in water jutsu, three on earth, three on lightning, and one on wind.

Nanako, the wind user turned to Naruto after finishing her sets. "I'm finished Kitsunekage." She said.

Naruto couldn't help but smile at the name, in the House of Sahdows, he was the Shadow fox, and taking the kitsune, or fox, and kage, or shadow, the others had given him his name, he found it ironic as he had, before taking to the sewers, always claimed he was going to be the Hokage, or Fire Shadow.

Naruto smiled. "After Toge is finished with his, you two can train, you two are already advanced enough you don't need to practice taijutsu more than three times a week to keep fresh."

She nodded. "Thank you Kitsunekage."

He nodded and looked at his men. He couldn't help but grin at the thought of that, what the council would do if they knew, there was miniature hidden village, inside their hidden village.

Narutp leaped down to join his ranks in training, he couldn't let himself get rusty, especially now that he had so many people relying on him.

A few hours of training later, one of his spies bust into the training chamber, another chamber, about half the size of their main chamber, which could fit up to three thousand people at a time.

"Kitsunekage!" The young spy called, as he stopped, panting.

"Yes?" Naruto asked, turning to face him. "What is it?"

"I-It's the Uchiha's, they were plotting to take control of konoha, the council caught word and ordered Itachi Uchiha to slaughter them!"

Naruto's eyes narrowed, he had been watching the council for a few years now. He sighed, seeing where this was going. "I see... They're going to try to pamper the Uchiha to make him loyal to the konoha, however, throughout history the Uchiha have been back stabbing bastards... Spread the rumor that the Uchiha's were going to revolt, Quietly. But make sure it gets out."

"H-Hai!" He said and dashed away.

"So..." Buraia said as she walked up to him. "What was that about?"

Naruto glanced at her. "It's so that when Sasuke betrays the leaf to find power, It wont be pinned on me."

"How so?" She asked, confused.

Naruto grinned. "Well, me being the reincarnation of Kitsune no Kyuubi is on the for front of everyone's mind, so if I betrayed the leaf, it would be no shock at all, but if that rumor is spread quietly, the idea that the Uchiha's are traitorous will be at the back of everyone's mind, almost forgotten, but still there, anyway, oncethe Uchiha betrays the leaf, someone will remember and say something, and after that, everyone will remember, not only that, but it being spread quietly will make it seam like some kind of cover up. So instead of the calling for my blood, they'll be calling for his."

Buraia frowned. "I... don't understand."

Naruto nodded. "You understand that I have the Kyuubi seal in my gut right?"

She nodded.

"And that I can use its power, right?"

She nodded again.

"So, to the council, I'm nothing but a powerful weapon, to them, I AM the Kyuubi, only on a leash." She nodded again. "So, once the Uchiha clan is wiped out, if I know Itachi like I think I do, he will leave Sasuke and tell him some farce to make him want to get stronger and kill him, anyway, regardless, he will be the Last Uchiha, so when he leaves, they will give anything to get him back, so they'll send me, the Loyal weapon of the Leaf. And if I bring him back, chances are, he'll be injured or dead, so they'd want me dead, and if I didn't get him, they would want me dead for letting the last Uchiha escape. Spreading the rumor, is only so that either way, the people Will remember, and be against my death, so the council wont be able to kill me, not without loosing favor of all the people. And they wont kill the Uchiha, because he's to precious for them to kill. At most, he'll have his chakra sealed, and his mind wiped so he can still reform the Uchiha clan, under the believe that he's been in a coma for several years, and that he's from a branch family, not the main part." Naruto shrugged. "I know you may think it's cruel and rude of me to sabotage him like this, but honestly, I find my dream far more important than rebuilding a clan and killing a man."

"And your dream is?" Buraia asked.

He grinned. "To make a place, where those like us, without a home, will be free, and have homes, a place where there are no children on the streets, nobody starving or fighting for food. It's going to be hard, near impossible, but I'll keep fighting for my dream until I die."

Buraia smiled. "That is a good dream." She said, then blushed slightly. "Would you want a family?"

"Me?" He asked, then frowned. "I do... But I don't..."

"You don't?" She asked with a frown.

"Well... I mean I never had parents, and all the parents I've seen were horrible to me. I don't have any good examples of good parents... So... I'm afraid of being a bad father. If I have a family, I want to be a good father. Not someone who spoils my children, too much, or someone who doesn't give them the attention they deserve." He sighed then smiled. "I'm sure I'll find someone who's a good example... Eventually."

"Yeah... You will." Buraia said.

A bell rang through the halls, and Naruto laughed. "Dinner time! Wonder what we're having today? Rat Soup? Rat Ramen? Or maybe Ra-"

"Yeah yeah." Buraia said. "Come on, let's get our daily dose of rat."

Naruto chuckled. "Yes Ma'am."

Naruto couldn't help but laugh to himself as he sat tied up, under the glares of his class mates, his grin stretched over his face as he thought of the art he fixed the Hokage monument with. Even painting whisker marks on his fathers face.

"Alright! We're going to do the Academy three again!" Iruka said.

The class groaned and whined as they glared even more at Naruto.

One by one they went through and did the academy three.

When it was Naruto's turn, he chuckled, thinking of his next endeavor. "Alright!" Iruka said. "Substitution!" Naruto did the jutsu, replacing himself with his homework, which was supposd to be turned in earlier.

Iruka's eye twitched. "You had it... This whole time?"

"Come on." Naruto said, as he walked back up to him. "That was epic and you know it."

He sighed. "Henge!"

Naruto's grin dropped into the demonic realm, and Iruka was instantly set on edge. "Sexy Jutsu!" Naruto cried, taking a seductive pose while covered in smoke, timing it perfectly, just as the smoke cleared, Naruto, or, Naruko now, spoke in a sensational voice. "Iruka I've been a bad girl..."

Iruka was sent into the wall via nose bleed as Naruto released the Jutsu laughing his ass off.

"N-Naruto!" Iruka cried as he stood, with his nose plugged by white swabs of tissue. "Do it right!"

"Oh? Without the smoke?" Naruto asked, causing him to pale.

"N-No! Henge into the Hokage!"

Naruto sighed. "Henge!" He henged into a deformed version of the Hokage.

Iruka's eye twitched. "Naruto... You've been trying at this for three years... Can't you do better?"

Naruto gave a sigh and looked away, feigning aggravation. "It's not my fault I can't mold my chakra." He muttered.

Iruka sighed. "Just... Try again."

He did so... And failed again, which caused the class to laugh.

Iruka shook his head. "You know if you can't get this by the ceremony, you'll have to go through another year."

Naruto faked horror as the class laughed.

After class was dismissed, Naruto ran in 'Shame' until, he heard Mizuke calling after him, to deliver his 'Genin promotion mission'

Afterwards, Naruto went strait to the Hokage, and was granted access, since his assistant was absent.

"Yes Naruto?" Sarutobi asked.

"Jiji." Naruto said. "Mizuke gave a mission, he asked me to steal the forbidden scroll, and bring it him. Though from the name I'm guess that's not really something that would be allowed." Naruto stated. "So I came here to tell you, I plan on taking it, so I can get Mizuki to tell me who hired him to steal the scroll before he tries to kill me, which he undoubtedly will, especially concidering he hates me for my tenet."

The Hokage's eyes widened. "Y-You know about that?!" He hissed.

"And my heritage." Naruto replied, as Sarutobi paled. "Wh-Who told you?"

Naruto snorted, crossing his arms as he leaned against the wall, beside an ambu, he looked up at the hidden masked figure, and winked, shocking the ambu that he could see her. "Uzumaki Jiji. How many Uzumaki's have ever been in konaha?" Naruto gave a snort. "Only two, Mito, and Kushina. And the only one who Kushina even let remotely close enough to her to do the job was acertain blond who looked a LOT like me without whisker marks. I mean, honestly, you search Kushina Uzumaki in the library and will clearly tell you that she was at least dating him, well, not in those exact words, but you get the point."

Sarutobi stared. "H-How? Y-You were never very smart... Who told you?"

Naruto snorted. "Really old man? You think you can have the entire fucking village trying to skin you alive because of a certain fuzzball in your gut, and NOT get smart? And not notice things? Seriously. If your councilmen thought that, that, would keep me stupid and controllable, they are dead wrong. It MADE me have to live in the shadow, forced me to learn how live, like a TRUE shadow. Hell I could have passed the Genin exam the first year, but I knew Mizuke would make a move sooner or later, I just wish it hadn't took three years. Damn waist of time if you ask me."

"Wh-what do you mean?" Sarutobi asked, beginning to sweat.

"Naruto grinned. "Well, I'll make it simple, since we're almost out of time, I've been pretending to be a failure for the last three years, also, don't freak out, but you're under a genjutsu right now, and before you dispel it, let me explain myself."

Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, only noticing the Genjutsu once he'd been informed... By the caster. "Go on."

"As you know, time in Genjutsu can pass slower than the 'outside' world. Right now, I'm asking if you want go to Ichirachu's for ramen later." Naruto chuckled. "The reason I used Genjutsu is because you have a Root agent watching you right now. You know, the ones that were supposed to be disbanded. Anyway, they're not, and I've been working on a way to get proof of it, along with everyone who's helping the organization remain functional. So anyway, I don't want anyone finding out that I've been hiding myself, not yet at least... Oh, and Jiji, up the security tonight would you? I want a challenge in stealing the scroll, I mean, sneaking into the Ambu head quarters and putting red die in their water, so they'll die their hair red and all become gingers was WAY to easy. So anyways, I'm out, oh, and we're going for Ramen later, I'll pay." Naruto said as he dispelled the genjutsu and headed out, with his, stupid happy face.

Sarutobi shuttered. 'That boy is dangerous now... I can't wait to see what he's like when he gets a few years older... He's going a be a demon.'

Naruto, after having Ramen with Hokage, dashed to the Hokage tower, seeing that he had indeed upped the security. He slipped into the shadows in his orange jump suit, vanishing from sight as he slipped around the Ambu, practically invisible, he took, slow, paced breaths, making sure not to make a sound as he made his way to the scroll was held, and silently unsealed it, without being noticed, and sealed it into another, smaller scroll, then carefully set a small item on the floor before making his way out of the tower.

Once on the roof tops, Naruto activated the item, activating the minor explosive tag, that was inside a small jar of pink die... Pink smoke was soon billowing from the windows as Naruto chuckled before dashing away, he arrived in an ally, and quickly copied the scroll, before sealing the copy away in a small seal under his tongue.

"Mizuke Sensei!" Naruto called as he seen the white haired chunin coming into the clearing.

"Naruto-kun." He replied in a sickly sweet voice, that Naruto acted as if he had missed.

"I got it!" Naruto said, presenting a large scroll to the chunin.

Mizuki took it and grinned. "Thank you Naruto... Now.. Die!" He roared, taking out a Kunai and taking a swing at him, only for Iruka to appear before him, stopping the attack.

"What are you doing Iruka?!" Mizuke snarled. "Let me kill that thing!"

"I will not let you harm Naruto!" Iruka snarled in return, forcing the white haired man back, while Naruto scrambled back against a tree, in 'fear'.

Soon, Mizuka had an opening and hurled a fuma shurikin at Naruto, only for Iruka to yet again intercept, this time, taking the attack that was meant for Naruto.

"Fool!" Mizuke laughed. "You'd defent that demon!"

"He's right." Naruto said, shocking Iruka. "I'm just a clone." Then he went poof, and Iruka heard Mizuke scream in pain.

He struggled to turn, while pulling the blade from his back, he seen Naruto leap from Mizuki's back, where the scroll was, then delivered a powerful kick to the man's side, sending him into a tree. Iruka looked in horror as he seen that the white haired chunin's eyes had been gouged out.

"Now now Mizuke sensei." Naruto said in the same sickly sweat that the demon hater had used. "Did you really think I would be foolish enough to give you the real scroll? No wonder you never made jonin, with you being that gullible... I'm surprised you ever made it past Genin." Naruto walked towards the man who was feeling around aimlessly while sobbing in pain. "So... Who hired you?"

"Fuck you!" Mizuke cried... And Naruto stepped on his hand, breaking three of his fingers.

"Naughty Mizuke, curse words are bad." Ignoring the chunin's cries of pain. "Ready to talk?"

"I-I'll never tell you anything!"

"Thought so." Naruto said as he crouched, taking out a knife. "Ever wondered what it's like to die by a thousand cuts?"

"Y-You wouldn't!" Mizuke gasped, scrambling back against a tree.

"Oh? And who's going to stop me? A blind man?"

"O-Orochimaru-Sama would kill you for it!"

"Oh, so it was the pedo-snake who hired you." Naruto said, then looked up at the Ambu in the trees. "Get all that?"

"Hai Naruto-san." The Ambu said.

"I guess I can tie him up and deliver him to the I&T now." Naruto said.

"Actually Naruto-san. The Hokage wants to talk with you, we'll deal with the traitor and patch Iruka up."

"Right. Thank you Cat-san." Naruto said, before shushining away, surprising all the Ambu around, that he could do so.

Naruto arrived at the Hokage Tower, where a slightly irritated Sarutobi stood. "I see you decide to give my office a new paint job." He said.

Naruta gave a chuckle. "Well... It was just so tempting, I mean it was like they weren't even expecting me. Anyhow, It's noting a water Jutsu wont take care of, I've started using easily washed dies and such, especially considering I'm the one that cleans it most the time."

Sarutobi nodded at the logic in that. "So, how did it go?"

"Meh... Turns out Iruka actually cares for me, he too a fuma shurikin for me, then I, who was henged as the scroll, gouged out Mizuke's eyes, then interrogated him. Orochimaru is the one who hired him. Damn idiot was so easy. How the hell did he ever even pass? I mean, damn he gullible."

The old man let out a weary sigh. "I see..." He muttered. "Very well... And the forbidden scroll?"

"Ah, here." Naruto said, and touched a seal on his sleeve and unsealed the scroll and handed it over. "Anyway, if that's all, I think I need to get back home... I'm getting a bit tired now."

Sarutobi nodded. "Very well... Dismissed, and Naruto? Thank you."

He nodded and shushined away.

Naruto sat on the roof, waiting for the others to arrive, he was, unfortunately, put on a team with, a banshee, and a broody Uchiha. Great...

"Okay, let's talk about our likes and dislikes so we can get to know each other, after all that's important for team work." The white haired cyclops, Kakashi Hatake said.

"Maybe you should start so we know what to do." Sakura said, while Naruto and Kakashi gave her an 'Are you stupid?' look.

Kakashi sighed. "My name is Kakashi Hatake, I like some things, and I dislike somethings, my dreams and goals for the future... Well that's personal. Now, you go." He said, looking at Sakura.

"My name is Sakura Haruno, and I like (looks at Sasuke and giggles) I HATE Naruto-baka and Ino-pig! My dreams for the future (Looks at Sasuke and squeals)."

Kakashi sighed, then looked at Sasuke. "You're turn."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha." He stated in a prideful voice. "There's not particularly anything I like, and many things things I hate, my future goal is to kill a certain man."

Kakashi let out another sigh and looked at Naruto. "You're turn." He said.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like many things, like my family, Ayume-nee-chan, ramen, foxes, and helping people in need. I dislike prideful bastards, like the pricks on the council, my goals for the future... Well I have a lot, my largest, most important goal, is to make a place, I don't care where, in or outside of Konaha, where children living on the streets, who are starving, beaten and killed because they have no one to look out for them, can be taken to where they will live a life they deserve, where they will have a family that they need and people to look out for them."

"I-I thought you would want to be Hokage." Kakashi said.

"I did... However, that was before I started seeing all the children who die on the streets, that even the Hokage's strength can't save." Naruto gave a heavy sigh, suddenly looking far older than he was. "I will do whatever I can to give them the life they deserve."

Sasuke snorted. "The weak should die like the weak they are."

"Says the one who's entire clan was taken out by a single man."

The reaction was instant. Sasuke saw red. He lunged a Naruto, who merely dodged his lung, sending him to the ground, Sasuke lunged again, pulling out a Kunai and swinging it at the Uzumaki. Yet again Narut dodged. "You may want to get your mental condition checked." Naruto sated lazily as he dodged each and every attack. "Under Konaha Law, if you are found unstable, you'll be no longer allowed to be a Shinobi and have your chackra sealed."

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke screamed. "I AM THE ELITE UCHIHA!"

"Pretty easy when there's no competition." Naruto replied, dodging yet another of his strikes. "And hey, if you look at it that way, I'm the elite Uzumaki."

"STOP RUNNING AND FIGHT ME YOU CLAN-LESS DOBE!"

"Clan-less?" Naruto scoffed. "Did you not pay attention to your history lessons Uchiha?" He asked as he dodged more anger filled strikes. "Maybe you'll remember Mito Uzumaki, later Senju, who married the firs Hokage, then there was my mother, Kushina Uzumaki, who was not only a pure blood Uzumaki from the main house, she was Royalty is Uzushiogakure, the land of whirlpools. They, like your family, were wiped out, but, unlike the petty Uchiha's, it took the combined might of three villages, over twelve thousand strong, to kill only five hundred Uzumaki's, while ONE man killed five hundred Uchiha's. And when the three villages were finished you want to know how many they had left in their army of twelve thousand?" Naruto asked as he continued dodging, while Sasuke began to falter, stumbling and tripping, getting exhausted. "They had fifteen hundred. Five hundred Uzumaki's killed ten thousand and five hundred shinobi, while five hundred Uchiha couldn't kill one man. Do you remember Madara? The 'Prodigy of Uchiha'? The strongest to ever live? Yeah well, if you look into history guess who beat him? Mito Senju. An Uzumaki put his ass down. Madara Uchiha, was weak, his sons, were weak. Your father, was weak. And you Sasuke, are weak. And unless you can find true strength, like that of the Uzumaki, unless you can get our drive, something better than your petty hatred. You will always be weak." Sasuke fell to his knees panting in exhaustion. "What are you going to do once Itachi dies? Huh? What will you do after? Besides, the likely hood of you killing him is slim to none. I mean seriously, he's an S class missing Nin, tha's a lot of money on his head. How many people are gunning for a shot at him? Hmm? Or, I don't know, his illness. Bet you never looked into that, look at the health records of Itachi. And you'll find he has a lung and heart disease, at the rate he was going down, I doubt he'll last four more years. If someone else doesn't get him first, he'll simply die, succumbing to his illness."

"U-Uh... Naruto?" Kakashi said. "Hw do you know all that?"

"How? Everything about my family is in the public library, The Uzumaki were one of Konaha's founders after all, then Madara's story, or Mito's story, which ever way you look at it, is also public, on top of that, you do know you can legally access any and all missing nin health status and such. It's not like any of that information was hidden." Naruto glanced a Sakura who was staring at Sasuke, looking like she was in a nightmare, trying to talk the Uchiha into getting up and kicking 'that blond Baka's ass'. He glanced up at Kakashi. "Anyway, I take it that we need to get up early tomorrow for the real Genin test?"

Kakashi hung his head. "Y-Yes." He said.

"Very well." Naruto replied, giving a slight bow, before shushining away.

Buraia stepped into the training room, she frowned when she found Naruto beating on a dummy... Well, beating would be putting it lightly, he was... Destroying it. "Naruto?" She asked the Raging blond.

He froze, panting. "Yeah?" He asked.

"What's wrong?" She inquired.

He clenched his fists for a moment, knowing it was useless to try and hide anything from his long time friend. "Someone said... That the kids on the street are weak... and that they should die like the weak they are..." He growled out.

"Ah..." Buraia said. "Uchiha?"

"Yes..." Naruto replied slowly.

"And you didn't break his bones?" She asked, knowing if he had, he wouldn't be destroying the training dummies.

"No... I broke his pride." Naruto replied.

She flinched, knowing that the Uchiha's pride was his, biggest, and strongest point. "H-How?"

"I, um... Outlined all the Uchiha's failure while explaining the history of the Uzumaki's, while he was attacking me, and simply dodged all his strikes..." Naruto said, looking away, his face flushing.

"You... Wow. That's harsh." She chuckled. "Well it's about time for someone to pull that pole from his ass."

Naruto laughed softly. "Nah, I think he's gay, probably likes it up there."

Buraia's face turned bright red at the thought. "Y-Yeah..." She muttered, suddenly finding it hard to meet Naruto's gaze. "W-Well, I think Suzuya could probably use some help in the kitchens." The brown haired girl said, thin forced herself to meet his eyes. "I've been trying to help out with cooking more often. Oh! And Toge and Nanako brought in a few more, so you'll have to meet with them later."

Naruto nodded. "Thanks. I'll find them in an hour or two. I'm going to continue shredding a few dummies for a bit."

Buraia propped her hand on her hip, leaning to the side. "Yeah? You know that comes out of your pay to replace them."

"Yeah. Speaking of which, how is Project H.O.S. Doing?"

She grinned. "Seventy six percent complete. We should be set in a few months."

"Good. That will save us a lot of trouble in the future."

She nodded, then turned on her heal. "Oh. Naruto." She said, glancing back at him. "We have the suits finished."

"Good, thank you Buraia."

She nodded, then took off down the halls, leaving him alone in the dark room, lamps along the walls, casting long shadows across the floor which bent and swung, dancing around and under him as he began molding his chakra again.

Naruto walked into the open field, where Sasuke and Sakura stood waiting, both looking quite hungry, having, like Naruto's clone, received a message warning them not to eat breakfast, or they'd puke

"You two didn't eat breakfast?" Naruto asked.

"No! We were told not to BAKA!" Sakura said.

"Huh. You do know that was just a test to see how gullible you were right? Needless to say, you two failed epically."

Their jaws dropped.

"Wh-What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

"What ninja do you know that doesn't eat breakfast every morning? You do know that without breakfast you'll have hardly any energy for this test, meaning your chances of failure go from around fifty percent to ninety."

Sasuke scoffed. "As if you really know anything."

"Funny, if the Uchiha knew anything they'd still be here. Guess that's a testament to their stupidity and uselessness." Naruto said casually.

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke roared, before flying through handsigns. "FIRE STYLE; FIRE BALL JUTSU!" He roared sending a meter tall fireball at Naruto who still still and let it hit him. The ball of flame burst exploding outward. "Heh. To stupid to dod-"

"Weak." Naruto said as the smoke cleared, revealing him without a mark on him. He yawned. "You know, fire is supposed to be, well hot. Honestly, I think I've felt ie that was hotter than that. But of course, that's an Uchiha for you, useless as always."

Sasuke screamed in rage and lunged at him, yanking out a Kunai, slashing and stabbing at him, Sakura cheering him on in the back ground.

"Really? This again?" Naruto asked as he continued to dodge.

Sasuke leaped into the air, his hands flew through hand signs again. "FIRE STYLE; PHOENIX FLOWER JUTSU!" He roared. Spitting out seven balls of flame, each Naruto dodged. "FIRE STYLE; INFERNO!" He roared, spewing a wave of flames that, once again, did nothing to the orange clad Genin. Sasuke landed panting. "JUST DIE!" He screamed lunging at him again, swinging the Kunai to stab Naruto's neck, who stood perfectly still, as if he was going to take the strike... Only for a gloved hand to catch Sasuke's wrist and a foot to kick him away.

"Good morning Kakashi." Naruto spoke.

Kakashi glared. "What was that all about?"

"Well you see." Naruto said, leaning against a tree. "Sasuke thought that my Shadow Clone was actually me, and was trying to kill it, how ever he was to weak to do so."

Kakashi gaped. "S-Shadow Clone?! That's Forbiden Jutsu! Using that could kill you from chakra exhaustion."

"Yeah." Naruto replied. "Maybe if I make a few thousand. Otherwise it wont."

"W-What do you mean?"

"Kakashi... I'm a fucking Uzumaki. We're known to have chakra reserves that match mid level Byuuji. Is it really surprising I have more chakra than all the Jonin in Konaha combined? I mean seriously, my mother could go without sleep for a month simply cause her chakra was so great. Mine matches if not surpasses that." He crossed his arms. "I thought you would know this."

"Wel..." Kakashi said. "You have been slightly elusive since you were five... Seriously, how do you hide from a whole team of Ambu at the age of seven?"

Naruto deadpanned. "I snuck into the Ambu headquarters and painted smiley faces on the main office walls and put ramen posters through the halls without getting caught, while wearing a bright 'Kill me' orange jumpsuit."

"Er... right..." Kakashi said. "No wonder the Ambu have a fear of the color Orange."

Naruto chuckled. "Aren't you glad you're not with them any more? Think of all the hell I could put you through."

Kakashi paled. "Please keep you pranks away from me."

Naruto grinned viciously. "Thirt Ryo a week."

Kakahi took a step back. "C-Come on! I'm teaching you for Kami's sake! Give a break!"

"Eh, you have a point." Naruto replied. "So what's our test?"

Kakashi sighed, and took out two bells. "Your job, is to take these from me, the one who doesn't get a bell will be sent back to the academy. You have until noon to take them." He said, taking out a clock, and setting it on the ground. "Also the one who fails will be tied to a post while the others eat. Begin."

Sasuke and Sakura leaped back into the trees, while Naruto stood still, simply watching Kakashi.

"You're... not going to attack?" Kakashi asked.

"Nope." Naruto replied. "There's no way I could actually take you, especially by myself, you're a Jonin and ex-Ambu, I know I'm good, but there's no way in hell I can actually beat you, the only freezable way would be for the three of us to work together, but let's face it, Sakura, while she had the highest scores in class with her book smarts, has no real training time put in, her taijutsu, and Shurikenjustu were among the worst in the class, meaning, unless she's in an office, she's actually pretty useless, and the Uchiha, while he knows a few jutsu, and is better than the other genin, he's no where near good enough to actually take you on, that and he's to proud to allow someone to help him, while, with his god syndrome like belief, he would horribly underestimate you... So... Basically, unless you get really generous, we're screwed."

Kakashi grinned. "The Hokage was right. You are dangerous. I'm surprised you haven't been drafted into the Ambu yet."

"Got to find me for that." Naruto replied, as he seamed to fade into the shadows.

Kakashi froze and tried tried to sense him. He spun around, seeing Naruto leaning against a tree... Only, there were three of him.

Feeling a genjutsu, Kakashi tried to dispel it... But there were still three. He tried again... And again, he began to panic, he spun around and leaped away when he felt someone behind him, his eyes fell on Naruto, who had sneaked up behind him.

"Wh-What did you do?"

"I hid in the trees, created three shadow clones, had each one cast a genjutsu to make you see the world how it is... Basically a genjutsu that doesn't change anything around you, but you can still feel it, to distract you in hopes I could get close enough to strike..." He replied

Kakashi shook his head. "And how old are you?"

"Thirteen." Naruto replied.

"And I know you've never really been taught anything, if you had have been, you'd probably be an S rank Shinobi by now."

Naruto nodded. "I think the Ambu concider me an SS."

Kakashi sweat dropped. "Probably so..." He muttered.

Naruto yawned. "Anyway, I'm going to go watch the Uchiha fail now, hopefully the Banshee doesn't scream to much."

Kakashi chuckled. "Very well."

Naruto sat in a tree, watching Sasuke try, for the thirteenth time to get the bells. "Hey! Sasuke!" Naruto called. "Want a hand with that? We'd be more likely to get them working together!"

Sasuke snorted. "As if I need some dobe to help me. I am an Elite Uchiha. I don't need help from weaklings like you." His eyes focused on Kakashi. "I am an Uchiha, no one is stronger than me. I think I'-"

"If no one's stronger than you, then we're all kittens." Naruto said.

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke screamed

Naruto twisted a pinky in his ear. "I think we should change your last name to Haruno. You sound like one."

Sakura on the sidelines, nearly fainted. "Sasuke Haruno..." She muttered dreamily to herself.

Kakashi sighed as the bell on the clock rang, and blocked one of Sasuke's kicks. "Well." He said, with eye smile. "You fail."

"WHAT?! I AM UCHIHA! I CANNOT FAIL!" Sasuke screeched.

"The point of this test little Uchiha." Kakashi said. "Was teamwork. You were supposed to work in a team, and so far, Naruto is the only one that's came to that conclusion. So. You and Sakura can go back to the accademy, while I either take Naruto as an apprentice, or I find someone who will."

"YOU CAN'T FAIL ME! I AM THE ELITE UCHIHA!" Sasuke screamed.

Naruto shushined to Kakashi. "I guess we report to the Hokage?"

Kakashi threw Naruto out of the way, blocking a Kunai stab from Sasuke with his forearm. Silence prevailed in the clearing for few moments.

"WHY DID YOU STOP ME?! I COULD HAVE KILLED HIM!" Sasuke roared. "I COULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THAT WORTHLESS SHIT STAIN!"

"That worthless shit stain has beaten you twice already, by simply dodging your attacks, and if he were to come at me seriously, I'd have to at least try to stop him, he's easily at high Chunin, low Jonin level right now, while you are at mid Genin." Kakashi pulled the blade from his arm. "Attacking a fellow ninja, especially with the intent to kill is punishable by death, while attacking a Jonin is punishable by torture, then death." Kakashi wrapped his fingers around the now scared Sasuke's neck. "Come on Naruto. Time to report."
