"Alright people i'm your host for the evening, jimmy fa- wait no that's not right." a stage hand runs up and takes the paper from his hands and gives him a different one. "Ah yes. Hi my name is Cdog and this is my first fic, as well as the first story i've ever written for fun. Please excuse any errors, because at the time i'm starting this i have a broken finger… well, i ripped the tendon off my middle finger at least.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto and I probably wont ever, so haha lawyer man

Summary: Naruto wants to reveal his genius to the world, but Kyuubi has held him back from that and trained him in secret, but now, so close to his hitae-ate and the end of the academy the fox is slowly allowing him to drop the veil of secrecy around himself

Konoha, dawn.

It was the beginning of one of those glorious sunny days that you could only find in Fire Country, and all was right in the village. But there was one dark cloud on the horizon, and you could tell that something big was brewing.

-academy, four months till graduation-

After calming down the class with his patented demon head jutsu, Iruka addressed the students "Alright class, today we will be focusing on taijutsu practice again. Yesterday, myself and Mizuki-sensei ran everyone through the katas so today we will be refereeing one on one spars. Students whose names begin with A through M are with me and N through Z with Mizuki-sensei."

The class groaned and chatted among themselves as they stood and separated into groups, each one with their respective sensei before they walked out to the academy grounds. Mizuki's group heading onto the western lawn and iruka's group staying on the other side of the building on the eastern lawn.

The spars were mostly uneventful in either group, the only notable mentions were Kiba and Akamaru beating Shino, Chouji beating Shikamaru by forfeit on the latter's end (much to Iruka's irk) Sakura losing Hinata, and Ino defeating Ami, a civilian child. The last match on Mizuki's end was our favorite 'knucklehead' Naruto Uzumaki Vs. the golden boy, everyone's reason for brown lips and noses, and the academy's resident brooding emo, Uchiha Sasuke, (wow that's unexpected)

Iruka's group having finished first had came and joined to watch the remaining matches, all the female students present staring at Sasuke-kun with hearts in their eyes, except for a certain white eyed stalke- admirer of our blond hero

Sasuke smirked, and stuffed his hand in his pocket, happy that he had gotten the dobe, an easy win, and mad, because he had gotten the dobe, who wouldn't push him to be any stronger.

Naruto on the other hand, was having a heated debate within himself. 'Kyuubi, what do you think of this one?'

'It's a solid plan kit... I think you should go for it, just don't show to much skill or they might get suspicious.

'Alright... sheesh you would think the trickster demon would let me have more fun.' Said demon sent a mental image of him lying in his cage, left leg horizontal to the right and right one over that laying on his left flank with his head up, and five of his tails in the air, with four of them curled downward around the middle tail.

Naruto busted out laughing, and everyone thought he had lost it, while Sasuke just grit his teeth in anger.

Naruto got a hold of himself and straightened up before removing his coat and setting it down, to avoid showing how much it really weighed. He then bent and pulled down his pants, causing most everyone to look away. He looked up and saw this, his face getting red in anger.

"I'm wearing shorts geniuses!" Everyone turned to see him left in a black tank top that revealed some serious muscle definition, normally hidden by his baggy orange monstrosity, and a pair of black shorts with a blue stripe down each leg. He replaced his sandals on his feet while white eyed cre- fan and a certain blonde heiress were both surprised and drooling slightly, though one hid it better than the other.

'When did Naruto-baka get... built?'

While he was doing this two people were shaking in rage. "NARUTO BAKA WHY DID YOU STRIP INFRONT OF US!" bellowed a pink haired banshee as she stepped forward about to box him over the head.

'Kit why do you pretend to like her? Why not anyone else?'

'Acting like I like her makes me look completely retarded, why else?' Thought Naruto to his tenant as he raised his left hand and stopped the punch in its tracks and causing Sakura to shed a few tears and shake her arm a bit as her own manly strength was used against her as if she punch a wall.

Everyone, Mizuki included gaped at Naruto 'how the hell did he stop the she hulks punch?' was the collective thought.

Sasuke just continued glaring. (surprise surprise) and said "hurry up dobe, quit playing with everyone."

Naruto smiled irritatingly, and just turned to stare him down.

Mizuki just groaned mentally while he thought 'all this just so Uchiha-kun could throttle him again, stupid demon brat' while on the outside, he just smiled and said "Begin!"

Naruto ignored Sasuke again and pulled out his iPod(1). He put in his ear buds as Sasuke charged at Naruto's back in anger. As he drew closer he pulled back a fist and shouted "Don't ignore me dobe!"

He was of course ignored. Right as Sasuke was about to make contact, Naruto's form flickered and the Uchiha went right through where the blond use to be, and said blond appeared again slightly behind his original spot, giving the Uchiha a much needed swift kick in the ass, making him lose his balance completely after the missed punch already made him over extend, and the precious Uchiha skidded his face against the dirt, while Naruto was still looking for his song.

The observers were for the most part in shock, as they had seen Naruto appear to teleport. Only Iruka had been able to follow his form when he moved.(2)

Naruto finally appeared to decide on a song because he put his iPod in his pocket and looked down at the Uchiha. "Is this over already?" he asked with sarcasm dripping off of each word.

The enraged Uchiha stood and turning on his heal lashed out at Naruto's head with a round kick, which the blond once again moved without anyone but Iruka seeing him do so and he caught Sasuke's leg in his hand as he stared at the Uchiha impassively and started to tighten his grip causing the Uchiha to wince, and in an amazing show of acrobatics, the Uchiha used his leg in the other boys grip as leverage to spin and attempt another kick at the blonds head(3)

Once again Naruto grabbed his leg and this time he lift the Uchiha over his head while applying chakra to his feet to stay in place before slamming the Uchiha into the ground, stirring up a small dust cloud at the same time. Naruto stepped back, rocking his head slightly to the beat in his ears as the Uchiha stood once again, charging in and drawing a kunai. Iruka was about to step in, since Mizuki was doing nothing, but a look from the blond stopped him. Naruto wanted this to keep going.

He held out his left palm on the inside of Sasuke's wrist so that his kunai slid out and away from them while he buried his right fist into the Uchiha's gut, raising him from the ground a couple inches with him still on the end of the blonds arm, dangling and hunched over. He pulled his fist back quickly and as the Uchiha fell, he grunted and he hit the Uchiha in the chin with a right uppercut, sending him flying, and again, with surprising speed, Naruto almost teleported behind the Uchiha, and once again, only Iruka was able to follow his path. Naruto gave another right uppercut that hit the Uchiha in the center of his spine and sent him straight up in the air before he fell flat onto his back, spit and blood coming out of his mouth.

Naruto walked over and shook his head as he looked down at the battered 'genius' and the music faded in his ears. He decided on staying in his current clothing as he pulled out a scroll and sealed his jumpsuit inside it.

Everyone was still gaping at him, but Iruka recovered first "A-alright class, head inside." only Naruto responded though and he walked inside leaving the rest of the class and his sensei's to gape. Iruka went to get Sasuke and took him to the infirmary as Mizuki herded the rest of the class inside, the rest of the students all thinking 'What the hell just happened?'

(1) they have wireless throat radios and CCTV with security cameras, so i'm just going with the assumption that they have access to most modern technology but its mostly used by civilians because shinobi have better things to do that watch TV, like actually having fights instead of watch boxing/wrestling

(2) i'm not the only author to use this and I wont be the last but i'm going with Iruka being an ex anbu captain (side note inside a foot note, this does not mean he was in charge of all anbu, i'm going with the system in anime/manga where the anbu are all basicly equal on missions, and pre-set squads, like the ones who patrol the village, have captains who are like the jonin sensei's who lead the genin/chuunin teams but with anbu that are less experienced, then the head honcho is the anbu commander who is someone that is close to kage level, as they are often considered for the hokage position.

Alright this first chapter was short, I guess, and I did it in a few hours, but I cant tell you that I will always update that fast, so ill ask that you be patient just like every other author expects.

Now a few things, First most people can guess the pairing from the hints I added in and this pairing is SET IN STONE! I spent all of last night chiseling it. Those who read the first version of this chapter, you are still welcome to answer the contest I posted, if not then no need to worry about it.

Please review and I will try to answer/listen to advice in each one.

For the song Naruto was listening to, it was Red: breath into me.

Finally, I wont be making authors notes this long in the future, I just need to establish a few things and I refuse to do a fake post that is only an authors note, or character stats.

Also, I would like to establish a beta in the near future. Ja-Ne!
