A/N: Here my starter story. Forgive the OPness of the main character it's just a starter. Once he becomes a serious ninja he wont be quite so OP. Also on a side note I've already written Chapters 1 - 4 tell me what you guys think. I think it gets better as it goes along. Both in writing and in story plot

Chapter 1: A Beginning and an End

Where to begin, people either start in the end or the beginning. I think the middle is a suitable place to begin this story. Our protagonist: Shadow is the most hated villager in the village hidden in the leaves. How he got into the Academy he had no idea. But here he was with people who didn't know of his predisposition. However, despite this he was treated poorly. He couldn't remember a time when he was happy. He'd always been the back end of jibes from adults and kids alike. People just didn't like him and he never knew why, he was used to it and was beginning to return the hatred in spades. He would always pull pranks that required a lot of skill and time to remove. Apparently there was only one better prankster in all of Konoha's history. The 'Red Hot-Blooded Habanero' whoever that was. He was bullied on a regular basis but pranked everyone for revenge. He was always late to one class, his least favorite or so everyone thought. Battle class, he thought oh great another day of harassment, I won't deal with it! Suddenly he was snapped from his own thoughts someone had just called his name.

"Yes?" Shadow said focusing.

"Are you participating or not?" the teacher asked expecting a "No"

"Of course he's not sensei he's dead last!" some students smirk.

"Yeah I am" Shadow said quietly.

"Wha-?!" the class said gasping.

The last time he'd participated he'd "lost" in the first round but he just was forbidden from showing any strength. Now he didn't care they fucking deserved it.

"Whose my opponent sensei?" Shadow says chillingly

"the next 'dead last.'"

"So Shikamaru?"

"Tch this is troublesome." The now named Shikamaru said.

"Alright well let's get this out of the way but first I need to talk to you for a moment 'sensei'" Shadow says with a grin on his face. They were all skeptical, how could he be smirking at a time like this, even Shikamaru would beat him up.

"Tch how troublesome." Shikamaru says as he jumps to the front of the class. That's when it happened as soon as Shikamaru's foot touched the ground he instead of landing on his feet as you would expect landed face first on the ground blood suddenly welling from a gash on his side.

"Sorry Shikamaru I didn't want to hurt you but as your opponent I won't hold back." Shadow said leisurely.

"Tch no problem" Shikamaru says with a grin redirecting his attention to the teacher "I'm going to the hospital I'll be back later."

"Gotcha perfectly understandable" sensei says without thinking about it.

After his fight which all of the students were surprised at the outcome they hadn't seen anything other than Shadow disappearing and reappearing next to sensei. All he'd done was give him a minor cut with a kunai though. After his match he went back to his seat trying to pay attention but got lost in his own thoughts.

Minescape

You did well

Oh thanks I guess how are you today Kyuubi?

You're welcome, I'm good and that's Kurama to you, brat.

Hey! Don't call me "brat"! I'm sorry to annoy you Kurama

So long as you don't call me Kurama you're brat to me. It's alright Shadow you're forgiven

Real world

"SHADOW" Sasuke yells in his ear. Without another word Shadow slaps Sasuke and teleports (quick step but its fast enough to be a teleport) and appeared into the middle of the room

"Took your time" a fat kid by the name of Choji said.

"Well then let's make this match quick" without another word Shadow closed his eyes and disappeared then reappeared behind Choji.

"Going to have to do better than tha—" Choji says immediately feeling pain in his gut
"You sure about that?" Shadow smirks opening his hand as a sword materialized in his hand. "I'll be back." With that he teleports away with Choji to the hospital, once he returned he went through his battles without much trouble until the final round.

"I've been saving my chakra for you…brother" Sasuke says ominously.

"good, though it won't do you any good you know that" his words still hung in the air and Shadow charged Sasuke. Sasuke was ready for it though using his Sharigan he quickly blocked the attack but the kunai broke.

"Shit"

"Hn so much for ready, get ready to meet mother in 4 days" Shadow says without remorse. Suddenly Sasuke felt an arm tackle him. Sensei hand grabbed him.
"Shadow don't go there"
"LET ME GO" Sasuke yells teleporting and running at Shadow
Shadow smirked as his adopted brother ran towards him. That's when it happened Sasuke's stride suddenly stopped and he fell to the ground.
"AHHHH" Sasuke screams in agony holding his head

"what did he do?" the class asked

Shadow had just used one of the most terrifying abilities… The Tsykyomi, in an instant Sasuke was back up angry.
"You will die!"

"Such strong words for the academy, guess I'll start showing my true abilities."

With that his image flickered but only for a second and he was there then Sasuke bent over in pain cuts appearing everywhere.

"Sasuke loses the winner is Shadow!"

"Hn come on" with that he grabs the Uchiha and grabs him to the Hospital, upon returning their sensei was in a battle stance.

"what?" Shadow said quizzically
"Beat me and graduate" sensei says with a smirk
"You're going to regret it I won't hold back"
"Good"
With that severe fighting broke out between Shadow and Sensei later to be labeled as Mizuki. Suddenly Shadow stepped back and took off training weights. Fuck that wasn't his fastest? Mizuki thought with panic I could barely keep up with before let's hope it's not too much. With that Shadow threw his weights aside and while you'd expect it to be like 5 or 10 pounds it left a huge dent in floor. Turns out its 80 pounds per foot… Next thing Mizuki knows he feels a sword blade slicing through him and that's for less than a millisecond…

This kid is beyond powerful, who the fuck is he!?

"Well that's a wrap class never fuck with me again." Shadow says without remorse. "oh yeah Sasuke"

"y-yeah?"

"Enjoy" In an instant he showed up in front of Sasuke and put and S in his neck then disappeared.

"Well….I guess he passed" Mizuki says before passing out

A/N: Heh enjoy your cliff hanger…I know I made him a tad OP but remember hes only in the academy. Honestly hes probably about as strong as Kakashi at the moment. Oh See if you can figure out the title, as well as find the Zoro reference.
