Naruto Gaiden

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. But the world he lives in has caused me to dream.

Prologue

"Hey guys! What's happening?" a young boy screamed and kicked aside a door. A huge smile spread across his young face and stretched along faint traces of what could be called whiskers that strode his cheeks. His bright blue eyes gleamed under a mock of unkempt blonde hair. A bright orange jumpsuit with a thick white collar screamed out as much as the child's personality. A forehead protector with the villages symbol engraved on a metal plate shined from the boy's forehead. "Naruto Uzumaki, Genin for the Leaf Village reporting for duty!"

A room of children near his age, give or take a year, stared blankly back at him. "What are you talking about Naruto? You failed yesterday, and you couldn't have stole it because there isn't a per who would be terrible enough to lose to you."

"Sasuke!!!" Naruto screamed and leapt onto the table Sasuke sat behind. "What do you know? Last night I learned an awesome jutsu and I'm going to use it to kick your ass!"

"Like you could!" Sasuke laughed. Sasuke Gekko was the class ace, and Naruto hated him for it. Sasuke had black hair hidden under a bandana that held the metal plate with the village symbol on it. He wore a dark blue T-shirt with a large wide collar. He had white cargo shorts on and white sleeves from his wrists to his elbows. A katana blade lay on the table in front of him. Sasuke and Naruto stared each other down.

"Kick his ass Sasuke!!" yelled a young girl from across the room. Sakura Haruno was one of the above average students at the ninja academy. She had long pink hair that was held up by her forehead protector, and a large forehead she had. She wore a short skirt with cuts up the thighs which showed off the black shorts she wore underneath. "No one can beat you!!"

Suddenly a boy in front of Sasuke leaned back and bumped Naruto from behind. Naruto fell foward and his and Sasuke's lips met. The two leapt apart and began to spit. The rest of the room fell into laughter and yelling. A door in the front slid open and a ninja in standard clothing walked in. He was dressed in a green flak vest, over which was a blue jumpsuit. He had long brown hair that was kept up in a ponytail. His brown eyes sat over a large scar that went from one cheek to the other over his nose. "Alright, alright, calm down everyone. It's time to assign each of you to your new teams. Each team will be comprised of three genins and one jonin teacher. The four of you will meet with each other later. At that time, the jonin teacher will test you one last time. Each has a different test. If you fail this test, you will be sent back to the academy for at least one more year. Okay I'm going to read off three of you and who your jonin teacher will be. Team 1..."

"Boy I hope I get a team with that Sakura. She's so cute!" Naruto thought to himself. "If I can get on her team I can show her my new jutsu and she'll definitely fall for me then."

"Team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno..."

"HOORAY!!" Naruto yelled.

"I'm glad you like your teammate Naruto, keep it to yourself."

The classroom laughed.

"Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Gekko..."

"Aww..dammit. I have to be teamed up with you?"

"You're lucky enough to be teamed up with me. I'll probably have to save your ass off the bat."

"You know, I'm gonna kick your ass with my new jutsu and you'll be sorry."

"You keep talking about it, but I'm not seeing anything special."

"What are you two arguing about? Naruto leave Sasuke alone. Everyone knows he could beat you up with both hands tied behind his back," Sakura said as she walked up.

"Don't forget blindfolded," Sasuke added in.

"You know what you two don't know anything, I'll show you righ....wait, where did everyone go?"

"All the teachers showed up already, and they've all gone. We're stuck waiting for our teacher."

"Who is our teacher? I wasn't listening," Naruto picked in his ear with his pinky.

"You can't even listen to Iruka-sensei when it's about something as important as this? God you really are useless aren't you, Naruto? Our teacher's name is Kakashi Hatake."

"I've never heard of him."

"Well you never read anything so I wouldn't be surprised. He's supposed to be a really good ninja. Able to counter any attack."

"Wow really that's awesome!! I wanna see that in person," Naruto ran up to the front of the room and grabbed a chalkboard eraser and placed it on top of the doorway. Then he jumped back behind the first row of desks. Two in front of the one where Sakura and Sasuke sat.

"You really think that that will trick a jonin," Sasuke laughed. "How could you possibly have passed with brains like that?"

"Shut up it'll work you'll see."

Just then the door opened and a head popped in. The eraser came down and hit his fluff of white hair. He came and stood in the room. Dressed in the same outfit as Iruka, with a green vest and blue jumpsuit. He had a mask on covering his mouth and nose. His forehead protector came down over his left eye. "Hmmmm....my first impression? I don't like you guys."

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke's jaws all hit the floor.

Yeah this is an alternative universe where things are quite a bit different. I hope you enjoyed the prologue. The next chapter should come in the next few days. It should cover the Bell Test through arriving at the bridge. Should be an interesting time. I can't wait to see what this Sasuke Gekko does with that sword of his.
