Naruto the Science Ninja

Enter Naruto Uzumaki, age twelve. As long as he could remember, he had been discriminated against for no reason. He couldn't go into shops or walk down the street without getting a hateful stare or two. Because of this he spent most of his days inside reading. He read everything a civilian could read, and by the time he was able to enter the ninja academy, he knew everything the smartest civilian would know.

His first test at the academy was overly difficult, which lead Naruto not want to go to school. He started pranking the villagers, and ignored his schoolwork. After failing his ninja exam for a third time and being tricked by Mizuki, his teacher, he was promoted to a genin. That night Naruto promised. 'I swear, I will use what I know to be the best ninja ever!'

Naruto entered the classroom and looked around for an open seat. Spotting one in the distance he started towards it when Kiba popped out of nowhere.

"Hey Dobe, what are you doing here? This is for graduates only." Kiba sneered at him, and some people laughed. "And what the #!*% are you wearing? Decided to ditch the jumpsuit for a hobo's jacket?"

Naruto had gotten rid of his orange jumpsuit after the forbidden scroll incident. Now he wore a grey lab coat with a spiral design on the back like the one that was on his jacket. "Screw off Kiba, I'm not in the mood to argue." He said apathetically as he walked to a seat, sat down, and proceeded to pass out immediately.

A few minutes later, Iruka walked into the classroom and began his longwinded speech to the graduate that he had prepared the night before. About half way through, Naruto yawned, woke up and said "Oh, hey Iruka-sensei, when did you get here?"

Iruka activated his big head jutsu and shouted "Naruto don't interrupt me while I'm talking. Now let's move on to team assignments. This year the Lord Hokage decided to make the teams random. Team 7 consists of Naruto, Shikamaru, and Shino. Your sensei is Kakashi."

Naruto grinned and thought 'Shika and bug-guy? Sounds like fun'

Shikamaru thought 'A blonde? How troublesome. At least Shino isn't troublesome'

Shino quirked an eyebrow and thought 'Hmm...Interesting'

Iruka continued, "Team 8 consists of Kiba, Ino, and Sakura. Your sensei is Kurenai." Kiba howled out in delight at being on a team of only women, which caused Sakura and Ino to bash Kiba on the back of the head at the same time.

Ino shouted out "Shut up, you Ero-Baka. Don't even think about it. But if you were Sasuke-kun..." Ino drifted out of focus and hearts appeared in her eyes. Across the room, Sasuke, who had only been paying little attention stopped brooding and felt a chill go down his spine. He thought to himself 'Ugh...fan girls' and continued brooding in a hope that they would ignore him.

Iruka called out "Stay on topic guys. Team Nine is still in circulation. Team Ten will be Hinata, Sasuke, and Chouji. Your teacher will be Asuma.

Sasuke was to busy brooding to care and simply gave one of his trademark sounds "Hnn".

Choji thought 'I wonder if our sensei likes barbeque? Maybe Sasuke will use one of his Katon jutsus to make me some barbeque…"

Hinata thought 'I hope my father doesn't make me fight the Uchiha...'

Iruka said before he left "Wait for you sensei to show up. He will explain the rest."

Naruto was bored. He had been waiting for 3 hours for their sensei to show up. He was angry at having his time wasted like this and was determined to get his revenge on the Jonin. As Naruto rummaged through his pockets looking for something he could use for his revenge, Shikamaru spoke.

"Naruto, I know this is going to be troublesome, but what are you doing?"

Naruto paused in setting up his trap and turned around to speak to Shikamaru. "Well Shika, if our sensei is going to be late, he's going to pay for it so he won't be late again. Simple logic."

At this, Shino spoke up. "Shikamaru, what Naruto says is true. It is simple conditioning to remove an unwanted trait from a person or animal."

Shikamaru looked between both of them a few times before sighing in defeat. "Troublesome. Just don't get me involved."

A few minutes later, the door began to open setting Naruto's trap into motion. As Kakashi poked his head through the doorway, three shuriken flew from across the room at him. He moved his body and dodged them. The silver-haired Jonin began "My first impression of you three is that I hate you all. And by the way that trap was too simple to catch a Jonin like me."

Naruto stood up, and with a smirk on his face said "My first impression of you is that you're a lazy baka who assumes too many things. Oh and by the way, that's not the entire trap." As Naruto said the last few words, Kakashi sensed something flying at him from behind. He spun around to find a bag swinging at him. He ducked underneath the bag, when it opened and a powder fell down from it.

Feeling no different, Kakashi turned around and said "Well it seems that your powder failed. Meet me on the roof in 5 minutes or you'll all be going back to the academy."

Naruto, Shikamaru, and Shino all made it to the roof with only a few seconds to spare because Naruto insisted on taking the stairs claiming Kakashi would expect them to be coming up the side of the building, and would have set up traps ahead of time. Kakashi looked at them and said "Alright, now that you're all here, how about we tell each other a little bit about ourselves? Say your name, likes and dislikes, and your dream. I'll start. My name is Kakashi Hatake, I have a lot of likes and dislikes, and my dreams are none of your business."

Shikamaru and Naruto face planted at that while Shino stood stoically as ever.

Seeing this Kakashi said with his trade-mark eye smile "Fine, since you guys insist, I'll tell you a bit more. My dreams...are R-rated. Anyway" Kakashi said ignoring everyone except Shino sweat drop, "you next Pineapple-head."

"Troublesome, but okay. My name is Shikamaru Nara, I like sleeping, looking at clouds and generally doing nothing. I dislike work, loud people and blonds. My dream is to be a mediocre ninja."

Kakashi thought to himself 'Just like every other Nara out there. And just like every other Nara out there, when he finds a woman, that will all change.' Kakashi chuckled to himself at that thought. "Alright, how about the failed trap maker next?"

Naruto got angry at that comment. "Hey you just wait for it to work, okay? Anyway, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like instant ramen, old man Hokage and explosions. I dislike things that don't explode and stupid villagers who don't actually think. My dream is to one day be a famous ninja using science!"

"Hmm, yes, interesting. Now you next mute." Kakashi said.

"My name is Shino. I like bugs and logic. I dislike bug spray, and people who hate bugs for no reason. My dream is to be a good clan leader." Shino said devoid of all emotion.

Naruto whispered "Hey Shika, I think that's the most I've ever heard him say in a row." Naruto laughed quietly, while Kakashi nodded his head.

"Alright, now that we know each other," Kakashi said, "you have the rest of the day off. Meet me tomorrow at training ground 7. I would suggest you don't eat breakfast or you'll throw up." He gave them an eye-smile before he shunshined away.

As Shikimaru and Shino were about to leave, Naruto said "Guys we should probably go scout out the training ground ahead of time so we know what to expect tomorrow. Afterwards, we should probably strategize together in case we'll be fighting tomorrow.

Shikamaru replied "You actually had a good idea Naruto. Congrats."

Naruto shouted "Shut up Pineapple. So off to the field?" Shino and Shikamaru just nodded in response.

When the trio arrived at the field, they quickly began to scope out the area. It was a mostly wooded area, with a clearing in the middle. On one side of the clearing was a medium sized lake. On the opposite side of the clearing was a single wooden pole in the ground. Having completed their search of the training ground, the three went their separate ways and returned to their respective houses.

Later that night, a cry was heard all across Konoha. It came from the Hatake residence. No one except Naruto knew what was going on, but nobody wanted to investigate. Naruto simply laughed to himself as he soon fell asleep.
