1. Training and Team Selection

1st Sgt Naruto Codename: Shadow Fox

(Authors note: this is a cross between Naruto and GI Joe so there will be some differences such as guns being included as well as grenades and things of that nature. It will still be set in the Naruto universe for the most part. Since this is a cross with GI Joe they each will have their own Joe call signs.)

The Sandaime Hokage stood in his office with Hatake Kakashi and Hyuga Hiashi. Kakashi had informed the Hokage of Naruto's third time in the hospital. Hiashi was asking the Hokage for help with a plan he had regarding his daughter. "I have become tired of this Naruto needs to go somewhere safer then here. Kakashi go find Snake-Eyes. Tell him I need his help. Hiashi, Hinata will go with Snake-Eyes as well." the Hokage summoned one of the Anbu and had him bring Inuzuka Tsume. All three of these kids were about five years old now. As Kakashi left Tsume would arrive and looked at Hiashi.

The Hokage looked to them both. "Tsume before this goes further I have to ask you what you think of the young orphan Naruto?" the Hokage asked looking to the Head of the Inuzuka clan. "Personally I think of him as the savior of this village. He has given much without knowing. Each chance I get I go out of my way to help him." Tsume would answer. Hiashi would tap his chin. "I see where you are going with this Hokage-sama. You plan to have Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba leave to train with the Joe's." Hiashi stated as fact. The Hokage would nod slowly. "I am also giving Snake-Eyes the scrolls for your clans. As I am sure that Kiba's father Mutt will help him with Training with Akamaru." The Hokage explained. Tsume listened silently as did Hiashi. "You will be granted time to go see them but til Naruto is old enough to pass the Genin exam. I am suggesting that Kiba and Hinata stay with him til that time. They will be a three man cell with Snake-Eyes as their Instructor."

A week went by and Naruto was at the Hyuga compound with Hinata. He knew something was going on as the Hokage was there as well. Hinata was a shy little girl hiding behind her mother. Soon Tsume would be seen with Kuromaru, her companion, her son was following behind with his own companion Akamaru on his head. "Naruto?" Kiba asked. Naruto nodded and waved he also shrugged to say he didn't know why they were there. Soon Kakashi and a man Naruto has never seen before came over the small rise towards the Hyuga compound. The man didn't speak as the Hokage greeted him has was in a full leather like body armor suit, he also wore a mask and visor to cover his face and eyes.

The Hokage motioned the three youth's forward. "Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata you three will be going with Snake-Eyes to train for the next eight years. Your parents will come visit you where Snake-Eyes train Kiba and Hinata. Naruto you are being sent with him to train as well. I am sending you because I am afraid for your safety and Health. If you stay here some of the villagers may try to kill you." The Hokage explained.

Naruto's eyes went wide at the thought of being killed. "Hokage-sama why would they kill me?" Naruto would ask. Snake-Eyes stepped forward and motioned that the Hokage should tell the boy. The Hokage would nod in response. "You are right Snake-Eyes he should know. Naruto you know your birthday is the same day that the Yondaime Hokage was killed. He gave his life to stop you from being kidnapped by a former Konoha Nin Orochimaru." the Hokage left something's out but he would smile and pat Naruto on the head.

Naruto and the others went with Snake-Eyes. They traveled to another part of the world. Snake-Eyes they found didn't speak except in sign language which was the first thing he taught them. As they reached what they would call home for the next eight years, a place Snake-Eyes only called 'The Pit', a man would approach Snake-Eyes. The man was General Clayton 'Hawk' Abernathy. He would bring them below to speak to Snake-Eyes about them and why they were here. Both Hawk and Snake-Eyes soon came back and Hawk welcomed then to the pit.

XVEIGHT YEARS LATERVX

Eight years had gone by for the three kids rather quickly. They were back in Konoha and proceeding to the main gate. All of them wore cloaks, with the hoods up that covered their current clothing and weapons. Two Chunin sat just inside the gate. "Halt. Passports and identification please." The one closest to the gate would say. Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata handed over their passports and ID to the Chunin. Both would take one look at all three and looked to Snake-Eyes. "Hokage-sama has requested your presence immediately." Snake-Eyes nodded and they left for the tower.

The Hokage was doing paper work when the three entered with their Instructor. "Ah I see you three made it. That is good. I assume you're ready for the tests tomorrow?" The Hokage would ask. All three would throw back their hoods and. Naruto looked older then thirteen a little bit. His blonde hair was long and a blue headband covered his forehead. His eyes were still ice blue and he still had the three whisker marks on both cheeks. Hinata had black hair that was about down to her mid-back that was up in a ponytail. Kiba has short black spiky hair with twin red marks on either cheek still, Akamaru was on his head. They all seemed well trained as they nodded.

The Hokage smiled as he took in their appearance. "That's good. Kiba and Hinata you two may return to your homes. Naruto and Snake-Eyes I have had places set up for both of you." Naruto and Snake-Eyes nod slowly. They knew that the team would live in different places. The Sandaime Hokage would summon an Anbu. He motioned Naruto to follow the Anbu. Naruto looked to his teacher and Snake-Eyes would nod. "Snake-Eyes have you talked to the Joe team about becoming a Jonin for us?" The Hokage asked softly. Snake-Eyes nodded and held a letter to The Hokage. Sarutobi would open it silently and read. The letter was from Hawk explaining the circumstances.

Dear Hiruzen Sarutobi

I am General Clayton Abernathy also known as General Hawk. I am the Commander of the Joe's. We are lending you Snake-Eyes til the children become eighteen. At that time Snake-Eyes will come back. The children had been asked to join the Joe's as well they have helped us out on several missions. They have also been given certain code names which we would like you to use. Snake-Eyes has told us that you also use code names sometimes. We have given these code names based on several factors. One was their ability or something that marked them specific. These code names are for your use and our use only is sure to keep them secret from your civilian's not on the council. We have also given these children honorary rank to be given once they rejoin the Joe team if they wish to.

Naruto Uzumaki-1st Sergeant- code name Shadow Fox.

Hinata Hyuga- Staff Sergeant- code name Violet

Kiba Inuzuka & Akamaru-Staff Sergeant (Kiba)-Hunter (Kiba) and Hound (Akamaru)

These names were chosen very carefully. Snake-Eyes will explain them to you as best as he can of course we ask that you burn this letter once you commit it to memory Professor.

Sincerely

General Hawk

As Snake-Eyes and The Hokage spoke Naruto was led to a small mansion like home off to the side near the Hyuga compound. As he walked he would pull out of his pocket a pack of cigarettes and slide one out and pulled out a small lighter with the Army logo on it and lit his cigarette taking a drag off of it. "So this is the place the Ojii-san set up?" Naruto asked as he looked to the Anbu. The Anbu nodded once and produced a scroll with a key attached that was addressed to Naruto. Naruto took the scroll and pulled off the key and opened the house. He would look around and saw it furnished and functional. He opened the scroll it was from the Hokage.

Dear Naruto,

I understand that you have been living the Joe lifestyle but this is your house left to you by your father and mother. It is not large in the way of most compounds but I think you and Snake-Eyes will find use for it as your home. Please utilize anything in the house for personal use as well as for training. There is a garden out back full of any herbs to make any balms you or your team might use as well as an in home gym and training area. I bid you welcome back to Konohagakure and hope you will like it here.

Sincerely

Sarutobi Hiruzen Sandaime Hokage

Naruto chuckled softly. "Ojii-san you're always looking out for me." He said as he moved around. Snake-Eyes would join him later and they would speak using a special hand language Naruto had developed based off of Sign Language. He would then head to bed tossing his cloak aside. He wore a full military commando outfit. He wore black military combat boots, gray cargo pants with knee pads for when having to crawl over harder services. Gray jacket with blue elbow pads again for those harder surfaces. Over this he wears a tight bulletproof vest and of course his head band on his forehead. This was given to him by a friend at the 'Pit'.

XVFlashbackVX

Naruto was on training with a Joe who was a known master of hand to hand combat aside from Snake-Eyes. Naruto would look to the Joe Named patriot after being beaten soundly again but smirked as he motioned to Patriot. Patriot looked down and discovered that one of the fake grenades he had on his belt had a pin pulled. "You're doing well Naruto. It is an interesting tactic to let the opponent beat you to pull the pin on something that might kill you as well. But it is one way of doing things. I have a mission and I know that you leave in a week for your village. So here." Patriot said and handed Naruto a bundle of clothing. And there were several cartons of cigarettes. He had kind of messed up and gave Naruto a bad habit of smoking. He chuckled "Maybe if I get the chance ill come see you in the village." Patriot would say. Naruto would stand and bow to patriot.

XVEnd of FlashbackVX

Naruto would undress unseal all of the cartons of cigarettes he had and stashed them in his room. He would also unseal all of his clothes which were a lot like the clothes he wore just different colors. He would pull out his side arm which hung down on his right thigh where the ninja usually kept their kunai. Naruto kept those at his waist and at the small of his back. He pulled the one sword he had on his back off. As well as removed his gear belt which held the various scrolls and weapons and hung them. He would clean his SOCOM pistol and then slip it under his pillow as he would fall asleep.

The Next Day!

Naruto woke up before the sun came up. He was in his clothing all but the vest and running through and around Konoha. As he ran Naruto would notice that a kid wearing blue shirt with a fan at the collar and a pair of Grey Shorts with the normal shoes that the villagers wear. The Kid looked to Naruto and his eyes narrowed.

"Who the hell are you?" the kid asked "Some baka gaijin that's probably what you are. Go home where ever you're from." The kid said as he looked him over. Naruto looked him over. "You must be The Uchiha Heir? Are you graduating today as well?" he asked softly as he looked him over. "Yes I am the heir to the Uchiha Clan. You think a Gaijin will be able to graduate after one day? Ha I have not seen you at the Academy. See me in a couple years when you finally graduate."

Naruto smirked. "I have special circumstances that allow me to not have to go to the academy. The Hokage gave it to me eight years ago, when I left Konoha to train with one of his students." Sasuke looked to Naruto and his eyes went wide as he got angry. Sasuke began stomp off into the forest to as he was throwing a tantrum.

Naruto simply shook his head slowly as he chuckled. Although he smoked Naruto was in good health as he continued to run and got back home in enough time for the rest of his team to be there. Naruto smiled as he put on his vest and strapped his weapons onto his back and thigh. He added a few pouches that looked like they would hold extra ammo. He had a few holding the SOCOM pistol clips and the rest had some scrolls with things sealed inside of them.

Naruto led Kiba and Hinata to the academy slowly. He would stop before the doors and pulled out a cigarette. "Violet, Hunter and hound we sure we are ready for this?" He asked as he turned to look at Kiba and Hinata.

Violet aptly named for her purple colored eyes had black hair pulled back into a high pony tail. She wore a pair of black boots and black tight leather pants. She wore a black leather short sleeved jacket over her body armor, and undershirt as well as sports bra. On her left hand she had a leather gauntlet from about wrist to elbow that covered both her outer and inner arm. She had a quiver on her back with arrows in it as well as the compound bow along the outside. She had a pouch mid way down on her right thigh holding the kunai and shuriken as well as other various pouches for scrolls. She would wink at Naruto. "Ready and willing Fox."

Hunter had Akamaru on his head as he usually did. He wore combat boots and a pair of camouflage cargo pants. He had on a brown undershirt with his armor on under an army blouse with a black trench coat on. He also had several pouches filled with kunai and shuriken. "Oh yeah! Let's show these people what we can do!" Hunter answered with an answering bark from Hound.

The three would enter into the Academy and head to the class room. Naruto kept his cigarette in his lips as he moved into the room. He took a seat at the back with Hinata and Kiba flanking him as they also sat. All the other would look to the new entrances and their eyes would narrow at the new people. Iruka would enter and noticed everyone staring at the three he had been told about.

XV Flashback VX

Iruka sat sipping his tea with the Hokage. They were talking of the academy and his class. "The reason I asked you here Iruka was because I thought it best to let you know in person. Three youth's that I sent away eight years ago have come back so that they can become Konoha Nin. Uzumaki Naruto, Inuzuka Kiba, and Hyuga Hinata were sent for different reasons for each of them but were sent to the same place to train together. They have come back to take the graduation exams. I will give you their files so you can read over them to know they are qualified in the other areas that we train." He slipped Iruka the files and let him read.

XV End Flashback VX

Iruka had looked over the files and found that they did indeed surpass most of the=2 0Konoha students that were set to graduate this year. He began to circulate around the classroom handing out the written test. He would go back to the front and look to them. "You will complete this test in one hour afterwards we will grade them and call you in to perform the Bunshin Jutsu to pass. You will begin the test now."

Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata finished the test in about twenty minutes and brought their tests up to Iruka. He looked over them and gawked every answer was right and they finished in record time. He stood and waited til everyone was done graded and kept them. He would call them in one by one and those who passed got the Konoha forehead protector. Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba passed with flying colors of course.

They decided to go out and get something to eat since they were hungry and they had til tomorrow before they knew who their instructor would be. They talked and ate slowly. "Did you seriously read that test?" Hinata asked, "Scarlett gave better written tests in her sleep. I don't see how anyone can't pass it." Kiba chuckled softly and so did Naruto. "Yeah and really, what was that about you need to do this Jutsu? I nearly filled the entire room with clones." Naruto said chuckling. Kiba shook his head. "Have you seen most of them? They were staring at us like we were Cobra troopers or something." Kiba added. They all finished eating and laughed as they went separate ways til the next day

XV Choosing Teams Day VX

Naruto met Hinata and Kiba at the school and they moved in. Now all the kids sat in different places but Naruto, Kiba and Hinata found seats close together. They were in different rows but they could talk. Naruto found himself next to a blonde haired blue eyes girl that continued to smile at him. Naruto looked to her as he took out a cigarette and lit up. "Wow you smoke?" the girl asked Naruto softly.

Naruto nods and blinks. "Yeah a habit I picked up from one of those that helped to train me." He said chuckling. "I can't help it anymore." He said looking to her. "Oh! I am Yamanaka Ino." She said introducing herself. Naruto smiled, "Uzumaki Naruto." He said giving her a wink. "I knew there would be kunoichi but I didn't know they would be so sexy." He said as he chuckled. Ino would blush and giggle as Iruka came in and called them to order.

Iruka looked to Ino giggling at something Naruto had said and thought. 'Maybe she will be a good kunoichi if she follows Naruto's example and not Sasuke's. Those three coming back like this might stir up things a bit but for the better I think.' Iruka finished as he began to call out their teams. Team 7 was called out as Hinata, Kiba, and Naruto with Snake-Eyes being their Jonin sensei. Team 8 was Uchiha Sasuke, Aburame Shino, and Haruno Sakura with Hatake Kakashi as the Jonin sensei. Team 10 was Yamanaka Ino, Akamichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru with Sarutobi Asuma as their Jonin sensei.

Iruka left telling the kids to break for lunch. Naruto left with his team and they ate and made it back quickly. Ino had been watching them. She forced Choji and Shikamaru to sit where she can watch Naruto. Shikamaru noticed this and spoke. "Thought you were looking to be Sasuke's girl?" he asked softly. Ino would look to Shikamaru. "Sasuke is self-centered and to be honest a little obsessed about something. I don't think in his mind he has time for females so I am looking elsewhere." She snapped at him.

Hinata looked to Naruto. "Looks like you got a Fan Fox." Hinata would say. Naruto looked to Ino and then back to Hinata. "Well you know Violet. It's our own fault for growing up together and being trained by Snake-Eyes as if we were brother and sister." He said as he nudged her. "Besides I think Hunter might be a little mad." He said as he looked to Kiba. "You know he is madly in love with you." Hinata chuckled and laughed softly. "I know that's why we went on a date the night we got back to Konoha." She said chuckling as she nudged Naruto.

The other teams left one by one til only team seven, eight, and ten were alone. Sasuke was glaring at Naruto as him and Hinata were talking. Sakura was desperately trying to get Sasuke's attention centered on her. "Sasuke-Kun come on lets go on that date we were talking about before we were interrupted by that nosey little kid telling us to come back. Come on?"

Sasuke would sigh. "Would you shut up? You're so annoying." He hissed. Sakura would blanch and looked to Sasuke mouth wide. Naruto looked and stood up slowly. "Hey Emo!" Naruto said standing "Leave the girl alone I'm sure she knows what she is doing and how to do it." He finished. Sasuke stood and looked to Naruto. "Well look it's the Gaijin. So I see you made it. Beg to get in did you?" Sasuke taunted. Sakura gave a small smirk while inner Sakura went, 'That's right don't mess with Sasuke-kun.'

Naruto looked to him. "You know Emo boy. I could take you apart with one hand behind my back." He said slowly as his eyes began to shift into the Kyubi slit like eyes and back. "But I'm not going to because you're a fellow villager." He said as he breathed slowly and with the help of Kiba and Hinata calmed himself. "You know where I grew up there is a thing called politeness you can at least say no to her politely instead of knocking her down and hurting her feelings." Naruto said more calmly.

Sakura's mouth opened. "How Dare you speak to Sasuke-Kun like that. He is he the best Nin in the academy. You will never be as god as him." She said nodding once. She believed a lot in Sasuke even if she didn't believe in herself. Naruto looked to her and shook his head he didn't speak what was on his mind as he looked to the others on his team. Soon Snake-Eyes came and got them and motioned them to follow. Sasuke narrowed his eyes to Snake-Eyes wondering who he was.

Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata followed after Snake-Eyes. He began to motion to them in the sign language quickly. He began by telling them that he had told the Hokage that they had already passed long before they took the other exams that they knew how to work as a Team together. He said that they were going out into the woods to be alone so the rest think they are doing some kind of test like the others.

The Hokage got word from the Jonin that three teams passed. Team 7, Team 8 and Team 10 had passed Kakashi also got word that Sasuke has become more obsessed with proving himself superior. He also stated that Sasuke was indeed willing to kill his own brother as well as stating he wouldn't mind seeing the new Gaijin die. Sarutobi would sigh softly as he shook his head. He had been hoping that Sasuke might wish to challenge Naruto but not outright dislike him.

As the day wore on The Hokage received several intelligence reports from the Anbu commanders. The reports stated that several men were in the area surrounding the village. Most of them had blue military outfits with Red hooded snake like markings on them. There were three that stood out from Snake-Eyes reports. A man in military garb with a eye-patch, a woman with glasses in all leather, and a man with a silver mask that covered his entire head in black clothing. The Hokage sighed as he read in several reports they were asking for the Kyubi strain.

XV Flashback VX

The Sandaime Hokage, Danzo, and the Yondaime Hokage stood overlooking the birth of his son and watching his wife have a hard time with the birth. "Are you sure this is the best way to hide your work Minato? I mean we might be able to implement it with other children being born." Danzo said softly. He mostly wanted it for his ROOT teams. "No Danzo. Only one will carry the curse of the Kyubi Gene although he won't know it. But it is better this way. Snake-Eyes reports Cobra is looking for it as well we can't let it fall to them as well as to our enemies."

XV End Flash Back

The Hokage sighed and put the old folder away sealing it in a scroll only he could open and slipped that scroll away into his safe. He handed an Anbu Captain the reports. "Give these to Snake-Eyes they will need them and have them report to me for a Class C Mission as well as Hatake Kakashi's Team." He said as he closed the books. The Council was pressing him to give Sasuke more missions above what he should be doing.

(Authors Note: Alright Guys this is the end of the First chapter. Yes I know it might seem to short or to long but eh I don't care. It's ending right before the Wave Country mission.
