Okay, back with a new fic! For the record, in this story, Naruto and Sasuke are a year older than canon, and Hashirama is Naruto's grandfather. For this reason, Tsunade is Kushina's older sister, and they are Hashirama's daughters. Also, Naruto has Mokuton. In addition, the Uchiha don't plot a coup and Itachi doesn't massacre them. If you like it, review. If you hate it, review, and tell me why, don't just say I suck or something.

"Ugh. I have to get some new clothes." Ten-year-old Senju Naruto said to himself. "The Academy starts back up again tomorrow, and Ojisan wouldn't be very happy. He'll probably give me a long lecture on the Hi no Ishi." his grandfather, the legendary Shodai Hokage Senju Hashirama, was overseeing the boy's training as he was the only person to inherit Hashirama's legendary kekkei genkai, the Mokuton.

Running his hand through his vibrant red hair, which he got from his mother and grandmother, but got the spikiness from his father, he began walking home. As he walked through Konohagakure no Sato, many people, civilian and shinobi alike, stopped to bow to him with a quiet "Senju-sama." he chuckled and said; "That's not necessary." suddenly, a boy with spiky brown hair and two red marks on his cheeks crashed into him while looking over his shoulder. "Unh! Who…" the boy said before looked up and seeing the deep blue eyes of the Senju heir staring back at him.

Scrambling to his feet, the boy managed to stammer; "Sorry, Senju-sama!" Naruto rubbed the back of his head and sighed. "That's okay. You're the Inuzuka heir, Kiba, right?" the boy nodded. "Hai, Senju-sama!" he said. The redhead smiled. "Call me Naruto. I'm only one year older than you, so let's be friends, okay?" he asked the feral-looking boy. Kiba nodded and ran away, eager to brag to his sister about what had just happened. Naruto saw a small white puppy, and grinned. "Must be his ninken." he thought.

Walking past the Uchiha compound, which ironically was next to the Senju compound, he saw the Uchiha heir, Sasuke. Sasuke was his age, and he turned to face Naruto. "Hey, Naruto, you got time for a quick spar?" he asked. Naruto grinned. Sasuke and his older brother Itachi, who had relinquished his claim to the seat of the clan head to join the ANBU, broke the typical Uchiha attitude of arrogance and overconfidence in their Sharingan. There were a few others like that, including their mother Mikoto, Naruto's godmother and best friend to his mother, and Akane, another member of the Uchiha clan who was his age.

"Oi, Naruto! Did you hear me?" Sasuke yelled. Naruto was shaken from his thoughts by Sasuke's words and shrugged. "I guess I have time." he said. Getting into their stances, Naruto and Sasuke nodded. Sasuke sunk into the stance for the Uchiha Interceptor Fist, while Naruto got into a traditional Goken stance (Lee's stance). Naruto rushed forward and swung his leg up in a roundhouse kick. Sasuke blocked it with his forearm, but instantly regretted it as he felt the impact from his friend's shin. Using his other hand, Sasuke grabbed Naruto's leg and attempted to flip him, but Naruto twisted, placed his hands on the ground, and rolled, throwing Sasuke instead. While Sasuke was lying on his back, Naruto walked over and helped his friend up. Sasuke scowled. "Guess Nii-san was right. You can't beat a Senju's physical energy." he said. Naruto chuckled. "Guess not." he said. "I have to go now; Kaa-san says it's time to eat." Sasuke said as Mikoto called from the door of their house. Naruto nodded and waved to his friend before running home himself.

Entering his house in the center of his clan compound, he arrived just in time to see his mother Kushina arguing with his Aunt Tsunade while his father Minato and his Uncle Dan played shogi. "Hi everybody, I'm home!" he yelled. Suddenly he was tackled by a blur of orange and yellow. "Nii-san!" the blur cried as it crashed into him, knocking him over. "Oi, Mito! What did I tell you about tackling your brother?" Kushina yelled from across the room before going back to her argument.

As Naruto hefted his little sister off of him she hugged him. He stared at her. She got their father's blonde hair, but she kept it in pigtails like their aunt, and she got their mother's violet eyes. "What, Nii-san? What's wrong?" she asked. He was staring at the six whisker marks on her face. The Sandaime had sacrificed himself to perform the Shiki Fuin on the Kyuubi no Kitsune, sealing it into Mito.

Just then, a figure cleared his voice from the back of the room. An old, tan-skinned man with waist-length, straight, graying brown hair walked in. "Ojisan!" Naruto yelled. "Everyone, take a seat." he said. After everyone was seated at the dinner table, he spoke, his face serious. "Now, as we all know, Naruto starts his final years at the Academy tomorrow. So…" everyone tensed up. Hashirama's face broke into a massive grin. "We're going to Ichiraku's to celebrate!" he yelled. Everyone except Kushina, Naruto, and Mito anime fell, while they just fist pumped in excitement. "Wait. Where's Baa-chan?" Mito asked, not wanting to go without her namesake.

"C'mon, Baa-chan!" Mito called. A tall woman in a long white kimono held with a purple obi walked into the room. Her formerly red hair, now faded to pink with her age, flashed. Mito Uzumaki stepped out into the living room. "Okay. Let's go." she said.

As the Senju family walked through the village, people all over bowed to them. At one point, all Kushina and Mito would have gotten would have been glares since Kushina also held the Kyuubi, before Mito. She had had the demon ripped from her, only her vitality inherited from her mother's clan keeping her alive, before Minato and the Sandaime had defeated the beast. Since then, Minato had been declared the Yondaime Hokage, meaning that Naruto and his sister were related to three of the four Hokage, the Nidaime being their granduncle.

Once at Ichiraku's Ramen Shop, they were greeted by the owner's daughter, Ayame. "Hey, guys." she said, the Senjus being usual customers at her family's shop. Looking at Hashirama, Kushina, Naruto, and Mito, she said "The usual?" they nodded. She then turned to take the rest of the family's orders.

Half an hour later, Tsunade, Dan, Minato, and Mito Sr. were staring at the four ramen addicts. Hashirama had eaten five bowls, Naruto had eaten ten, Kushina had eaten twenty, but the winner was Mito Jr. who ate a whopping thirty bowls of ramen. As the clan left, the Ichirakus smiled.

The next day, Naruto left early to reach the Academy. As he arrived, he walked into his classroom and sat down. Sasuke walked in a few minutes later. Suddenly, a scar-faced chuunin with brown hair done up in a spiky ponytail shunshin'd into the room. "Hello everyone, my name is Umino Iruka, and welcome to your final Academy years! Let's introduce our class." Everyone went around the room, stopping at a boy with long brown hair and the pale eyes of the Byakugan. "My name is Hyuga Neji. I am the heir of the Hyuga clan, son of Hyuga Hizashi. My hobbies include training and playing with my cousin Hinata." his stoic expression broke into a small smile when he mentioned his cousin's name. Sasuke was next. "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I'm the heir of the Uchiha clan, son of Uchiha Fugaku. My hobbies include drawing and training with my best friend." he said. Naruto stood up. "My name is Senju Naruto. I am the heir of the Senju clan, grandson of Senju Hashirama. My hobbies include practicing my kekkei genkai and sparring with Sasuke." he said before sitting down.

Two years later

"Okay class, today we will administer your final exams, beginning with the written portion." Iruka said. After getting their papers, Sasuke nodded to Naruto. Over the past two years, due to their daily sparring and training, Sasuke had managed to awaken the first level of his Sharingan, having one tomoe in each eye. Using this, Sasuke had detected the genjutsu on the paper, and informed Naruto. They began to answer the questions.

Afterwards, they had their taijutsu test. With Naruto's lineage, his stamina was insane, and he went through the entire exam, three fights with other students and trying to take Iruka's forehead protector, without slowing down once. Sasuke was able to predict the student's moves with his Sharingan, and Neji just had pure taijutsu skill.

For the ninjutsu portion, Naruto made a Mokuton Kage Bunshin and was passed. He had grown his hair out, so it was less spikey, and he tied his black-cloth forehead protector under his bangs, similar to his father, but straighter.

Sasuke's hair retained a duck-butt shape, which he often griped about, but dealt with, and had two long bangs on either side of his face (Sasuke's Shippuden haircut, I just like it better.)

They were walking home, and Sasuke turned around. "Naruto, let's spar, no holds barred." he said. Naruto shrugged. "So, I guess that means ninjutsu too, huh?" Sasuke nodded. Naruto shrugged an okay.

Putting his hands in the Snake seal, Naruto yelled; "Mokuton: Soseiji Mokuzo Kogake! (Wood Release: Twin Wood Gauntlet) dark wood started forming a shell around Naruto's arms and shoulders, until they were surrounded. Sasuke threw a kick, but Naruto just blocked it and Sasuke's shin bounced painfully off his arm. "Shodai-sama's wood was never that dense." Sasuke said. Naruto nodded. "We realized that every Mokuton user manifests a different type of wood. My grandfather manifests good old sturdy oak. I manifest ironwood, the densest kind of wood found anywhere.

Sasuke went through the Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, and Tiger seals, before yelling; "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.), and exhaled a giant fireball in an attempt to burn the wood off of Naruto.

As the smoke cleared, there were no signs of even a slight singe on Naruto's wooden arms, but he dispelled them and the two ran toward each other, but a dark figure appeared in their path.

Who is it? You'll see. Bye.
