Konohagakure no sato
Shinobi Academy

In one of the classrooms within the Academy, the students were chatting with each other or doing their things while waiting for their teacher to arrive. The sight was anything but usual. Most girls was swooning over a dark hair kid, while most boys just felt plain jealousy for the kid getting too much attention from the girls. Even though this maybe looked like just any other classes, it's really not. In this class gathered the most prestigious shinobi clan heir and heiress of Konoha.

"Man, how much longer do we need to wait! Where the heck is Iruka-sensei?" complained a kid with a fur coat with a tiny ninken on top of his head. This is Inuzuka Kiba, the heir to Inuzuka clan.

"I-I am sure, h-he will appear soon, Kiba-kun" his neighbor tried to calm him with her meek stuttering voice. She was a girl with short hair in hime style, wearing a coat a little too big for her size. The notable feature washer milky white eyes that showed she was a member of Hyuuga clan.

"Nah, I am fine with this. Without sensei here, I could eat as much chips as I want!" exclaimed a fat kid that was munching his pack of cups nonstop. His name was Akimichi Chouji, the heir to Akimichi clan as well as the future combination of Ino-Shika-Cho of this generation.

"Oi, Chouji! Can you stop eating just for one day! Really, why don't you try to diet it will not only made you healthier, but you may look much better" complain a girl with platinum blond hair and baby blue eyes. But then she turned back again to swooning over the dark hair kid, who was brooding. "But you will never be able to look better than Sasuke-kun, of course~". It's sad to admit, for now but this girl is the heiress to Yamanaka clan. They were famous for the ability to mindwalk.

"I don't care about that" retort Chouji calmly and continued to happily munching his chips.

"Do you really think that Sasuke-kun would pay attention you from just that praise, Ino-pig?" taunt a girl with bubble gum hair and jade eyes with a smirk. Her name was Sakura Haruno. Even though she was not a part from any clan, she was close friends with Ino until they began fighting for Sasuke's attention.

"What the heck was that, Forehead-girl?" Ino shot back glaring daggers and clashed her forehead with Sakura's. The lighting could be seen releasing from their eyes. And certain the one that they were arguing about completely ignored them and continue to brood.

"Women are troublesome" mumbled a pineapple head guy with a lazy tone while yawning loudly. This one could be consider the most lazy guy in this class. And of course such trait could only belonged to Nara. So yeah Shikamaru Nara is the heir to Nara clan. Together with Ino and Chouji, they would become the future Ino-Shika-Cho combo of this generation.

There was also Shino Aburame of Aburame clan, but he also not talkative very much. His usual activity was just to play with his bikouchu.

Then there was also Sasuke Uchiha, the star of this class. Dark hair with two side bangs framing his handsome face and the back was spiked up like a duck butt. Due to some tragical circumstance, Sasuke was the only Uchiha left. To be truthfully, Sasuke was not interesting in anyone in this class. Well, to be precisely, nearly anyone. There was someone in this class that he wanted to defeat no matter what. Even if he was called dobe in the class, his ability was a different matter. The dobe nickname is only due to him often slacking off. Despite Sasuke came from the famous Uchiha clan, the one that was his target could see through him like a glass.

'What are you doing again slacking off again, dobe! We still have a match today. And I won't lost to you this time' thought Sasuke determinedly and clutch his fist tightly.

"By the way, where is Naruto?" wondered Sakura, recalling that her slacker of a friend is absent today.

"Probably slacking off somewhere. You should not be surprised by that already" stated Ino with a shrug.

On top of Hokage Mountains

Standing on top of the head of the Fourth Hokage was one young boy. He has spiked up sun kissed blond hair and sky blue eyes. His outfit consisted of a simple white T-Shirt with the image of Four Sacred Beast behind his back and a pair of orange shorts.

The boy has spread his arms aside and closed his eyes to enjoy the flow of the wind. "Kaa! It's so relaxing!" exclaimed the boy, enjoying having the wind caress his locks.

This is the so called dobe of the class, Naruto Uzumaki. The boy could be describe by one word, enigma. He never let himself felt down and will always strive towards his goal no matter who or what is in his way. Naruto also don't bow down to anyone and live by the 3 rules that he set up to himself as he grew up, judging from the attitude of Konoha people to him.

1. Never trust anyone completely because sooner or later the one you trust will betray you.

2. Do not let anyone see what you truly capable of or you will be out of options when the time will come.

3. No matter what, survive at any cost and get back at your enemy hundred folds.

Naruto was a special child, as since he remembered he could always see the flow of destiny or to choose the right decision for the situation. For example, when he was assault by a drunken Chuunin the night of Kyuubi Slaying Festival, he could see perfectly well where the fist will come and with a mere touch and changing the direction of the attack, he made the Chuunin hit himself and knocked down unconsciously. With Sasuke is the same, in the spar in class that they frequently have, Naruto could see through Sasuke's intention clearly like on the paper, though not wanting to embarrass the star of the class after feeling tired of avoiding he just stumbled on a stone in purpose and let Sasuke got the win. And of course Sasuke knew about that and was unsatisfied with his victory. Demanding an explanation from the blond, as to why he could dodge all his attacks so easily, Sasuke received a very strange answer from the blond.

"I just simply read the flow of your destiny". And after such ridiculous answer that blond ran away and laughing like an idiot. That made Sasuke felt even more enrage for losing to such an idiot.

"Naruto! I should've know that you will be here!" cried out a force behind the blond.

Slowly opening his eyes and glanced behind him, Naruto saw that it was his sensei. "Ah, Iruka-sensei! What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean 'what are you doing here'? I am here to take you back to class of course!" exclaimed Iruka approaching his slacking student." Why the heck are you always slacking off, by the way? You gave really good results in the tests. Why don't you stand classes to make your marks better? That way you may be on equal ground with Sasuke"

"Equal ground with Sasuke?" repeat Naruto quizzically then shook his head. "I don't need that. All I care about is the final result, that's why I only attend class when there will be test. It will be only a waste of time if I visit class regularly. Not only that, but I don't need other teachers glared at me for no reason"

"What do you mean by attending class is a waste of your time? We are studying history of Konoha and the basic skills for the beginning shinobi. You speak like you already knew all about that!" retort Iruka narrowing his eyes at Naruto. The blond looked calmly into his teachers eyes and replied.

"Well, you may found that hard to believe, but I've already knew all about that. To prove that I am not lying I will tell you right away. Maybe even some facts that you guys didn't teach us in Academy"

"Where to start?" Naruto rubbed his chin in thought them clicked his fingers when the idea came. "Oh, I know. Konoha was actually the first ever shinobi village created by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. At the first Gokage meetings, there other Kages found the idea fascinating and from there the other Shinobi villages were born. Now about Senju Hashirama's abilities. He is the only wielder of Mokuton as well as one of the two individuals which have the ability to subdue Bijuus. His strength was so impressive that he could battle both Madara and Kyuubi at the same time, when the later used his eyes to take control of the Bijuu. Ok, I think it's enough about Shodai. Let's move to Nidaime then.

Senju Tobirama was the younger brother of Hashirama. Though his strength was nowhere near such monsters like Madara or his brother. Tobirama excels in time-space ninjutsu and proficient in genjutsu. Oh, forget to mention the mastery of his Suiton was to such level that he could extract the water molecules from the air to use his techniques. Here comes jiji's turn.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was under the tutelage of both Shodai and Nidaime, together with the current elders Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura. Not very much I know about jiji, but I know that he have great mastery over 5 elements as well as bojutsu techniques. Despite the people gave him the title of 'God of Shinobi', I, no, even he knew himself, that he was nowhere near that level yet. The people of that era gave him that title during the middle of the war, that's because they didn't see the battle of Shodai and Madara. Ok last but not least the youngest Hokage of Konoha.

Namikaze Minato was just an orphan of unknown origin. But he showed great promise when he attend the academy. After Jiraya of Sannin took him under his wing, he began to shine like never before. Researching Nidaime's Hiraishin, he managed to improved it and created his own version of Hiraishin, which earn him the nickname that struck fear in the heart of Iwa force, Kiiroi Senko. Guess I can end here"

Iruka's jaw was actually dropped to the ground as Naruto began to retell him about former Hokage's of Konoha. There were even some facts that he didn't knew himself. Then he wondered how Naruto knew this much. Slowly overcoming his shock, Iruka grinned nervously.

"T-that was most impressive, Naruto. T-there were even some facts that I didn't know about. How did you know that much?"

Naruto looked simply at Iruka and replied with a cheerful smile. "Nope. I can't tell you about that. Oh, do I need to spell to you how to throw shurikens and kunai correctly or demonstrate Kawarimi no jutsu to you?"

Iruka sighed longingly and muttered. "No need for that. I believe you that you can do all those exercise". Then Iruka turned back and started to walk away. "Just don't be late for tomorrow's exam!"

"I can't promise anything" Naruto grinned slyly. Then took out the flute from his belt and started to play a tune.

(Insert the flute part of Towagatari~ Hikari no uta~ from Cross Ange performed by Nana Mizuki)

Iruka actually stopped on mid-way when he heard the tune of flute play. Looking back at his enigma student one last time before he Shunshin away.

"Let's ride the wind!" said Naruto to himself with a mischievous grin. The moment Iruka was out of his sight, the blond jumped down from Yondaime's head to the ground. From such height, the wind blew really harsh flipping the blond's hair. The gravity also drew the blond to the ground with crazy force. Despite that Naruto closed his eyes with a grin enjoying wind and the free fall.

Iruka just land to the ground suddenly felt something is not right and turned his back to see something that nearly made the skin jumped. Naruto was falling down to the ground at great speed.

"Naruto!" exclaimed Iruka worriedly.

Suddenly the blond snapped open his eyes then took out both his kunais from the pouch and stabbed them both at the rocky platform to slow his falling down. Iruka could only look on in shock, nearly receiving heart attack from Naruto's reckless prank. With his method, he managed to land to the ground safe and soundly.

Naruto turned to Iruka showing him victory sign and then ran away cheerfully.

Iruka shook his head and chuckled. "What an impossible guy. Who is he really? That Naruto Uzumaki"

Later that night
Nakano Shrine

Nakano Shrine was the territory of Uchiha and outsiders were forbidden to enter here. But since Uchiha was destroyed this place was under the surveillance of Konoha.

One figure entered the shrine and entered the secret entrance to a special room which Uchiha's often have their meetings in the past. The figure slowly approached the tablet and carefully touched it.

"The flow of destiny on this tablet didn't feel right. It's just like someone create this to manipulate Uchihas" muttered the figure analytically. Looking at the tablet one last time the figure walked away quietly.

A/N: A little short, I know but the next chapter will be longer. I am never good at first chapters. For some reasons they often turn out to be short
