Chapter 1: Enter: Uzumaki Naruto!
In the village called Konohagakure no Sato if you looked closely you could see a twelve year old child running from several adults. The child had spiky red hair, dark red eyes and on his cheeks were three whisker-like marks. He wore a white t-shirt with a red spiral on the back, and a pair of black shorts. Around his neck was a medallion made of silver with the symbol of a nine-tailed fox on it. His name was Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Yoko.
"Come back here you little brat!" One of the men chasing him yelled. The reason these men were chasing him was simple, Naruto was the biggest prankster in the village, and had pranked the men, who had decided he had gotten away with enough and were going to punish him. Naruto just laughed as he swung his arm, first to a stand, then towards the men. Then several frying pans and similar objects flew at them from the stand. In addition to being a Jinchuriki, this was another oddity about him; he could magnetize objects and control them using her chakra by converting it to magnetic forces. Hokage-jiji had called it "Jiton". He didn't really understand it, but he fully embraced it, having mastered the ability by using it in his pranks.
"You'll never catch me!" He laughed as the men were knocked over, leaving them cursing as he disappeared from view.
Naruto stopped and leaned on a tree to catch his breath. He had run all the way up to the forest on top of the Hokage Mountain. "Well, I think I lost them." He said to himself and decided to spend some time in the forest, to let his chasers calm down. After walking around for a while he stepped through a few bushes and heard wood groan, before the ground gave away underneath him, causing him to fall screaming and tumble down a steep passage before finally coming to a stop inside a big room.
Groaning he sat up and looked around, prompting his face to assume a dumbstruck expression. Silver…there was silver everywhere! He couldn't believe his luck, he had fallen into a silver mine! He LOVED silver! He quickly stood up and dusted himself off before setting to explore the mine.
A few hours later he climbed out of the mine, noticing it was starting to get dark. The mine was massive! He had spent hours simply exploring it, before setting to use his Jiton to break of some of the silver to bring with him. He found manipulating the silver came easier than most other metals, and his pockets were now filled with it.
A grin was on his face as he walked towards his home. Not only had he found a mine full of his favorite material, but it also effectively made him rich! Tomorrow he was going to buy so much stuff, after a visit to his Jiji.
Four years later, at the age of 16, he had graduated from the Ninja Academy and was currently sitting in front of the Hokage after taking his Ninja ID. He wore a long-sleeved fishnet shirt with a black and yellowish orange colored long-sleeved jacket with a red spiral of his clan on the back and on the sleeves over it. He wore black pants and his right leg was bandaged on his thigh, with a kunai holster on top of it, which held his special, home-made silver kunai. He also had a utility pouch at the small of his back. Around his neck he still wore his silver medallion underneath his jacket. His hair was in the same style from four years ago. He also wore opened-toed black sandals. His long, black clothed hitai-ate was worn on his forehead.
Life had been good to him after he found the silver mine, very few people knew about it, the Hokage being one of them. He was able to use the silver to buy a good apartment and anything he needed. He had also discovered a way to use the silver as a weapon, by grinding it into silver sand. He kept this sand in two seals on his upper arms that acted as a sort of portals, both leading to a dimension void that he had filled with his silver sand. When he wanted to use the sand he simply needed to open the seals and draw the sand out. Hokage-jiji had been amazed when he had shown it to him, claiming that Jikukan Ninjutsu was a feat few had accomplished, his sensei the Nidaime Hokage, and his father being two of them.
"Well everything seems to be in order; you are free to go Naruto-kun." The Sandaime said. Naruto jumped to his feet and thanked him before a young boy charged into the room, yelling "Jiji! Fight me! The title of Godaime Hokage belongs to me, Konohamaru!" before tripping on his own scarf, causing Naruto to laugh loudly. Konohamaru got up asking. "Is this a trap?" As a ninja barged in and took in the scene, before asking Konohamaru. "Are you okay, young master? There are no traps by the way."
Konohamaru spotted Naruto and walked up to him pointing. "I got it. You did something, didn't you?" Naruto stopped laughing at this, getting pissed off and grabbing the boy's scarf and pulling him to his eye level. "You tripped on your own scarf! Don't go blaming other people for your mistakes you little brat!"
"Hey! Let go of him! He is the grandson of the great Sandaime Hokage!" The other man, Ebisu, yelled at him. "Huh?" Naruto said and looked disbelievingly at the boy in his grasp, who grinned at him arrogantly, thinking he wouldn't dare do anything to him. "What's the matter? Why don't you hit me if you can! You're no match for a grandson of a Hokage!"
"LIKE I GIVE A FUCK!" Naruto yelled and beat him over the head, sending him to the floor. He himself being the son of the Yondaime, he hated when someone thought they were untouchable because of their heritage. Ebisu looked dumbstruck while the Sandaime just sighed. "See ya, Hokage-jiji!" Naruto called back over his shoulder as he left.
Naruto sighed as he walked past a section of horizontal planks that stood out horribly from the rest of the vertical fence, Konohamaru had been following him ever since he beat him over the head, and he was doing a bad job of it too. "Gaki if you're gonna hide using that make sure you hold it correctly." The kid just laughed as he revealed himself. "Nice job detecting me. I should have expected it from the boy I've heard rumors about." He said and walked up to him. "I don't mind being your follower."
"What?"
"But in return, you have to teach me."
"Yeah right, as if I'd teach a brat like you. Besides if you've heard rumors about me I doubt you'd want to be associated with me." Naruto told him before turning to walk away. "Don't say that, please! Oyabun!" Naruto paused, pretending to think. "…Nah, get lost."
This continued for a few hours, Konohamaru continuing to follow him while he did his errands before he finally lead him to a small clearing in a forest. Spinning around he extended her leg, kicking him into a tree. "Hey what was that about?!" Konohamaru yelled at him as he got up. Naruto simply set himself in a ready stance. "You wanted me to train you right? Then defend yourself." With that he rushed at him, sending punches and kicks at him while he tried to defend himself. However he proved no match to Naruto and was soon lying on the ground, beat up and exhausted with Naruto standing above him.
"You expect to beat Hokage-jiji with those skills? You're years away from even being close to match him." He told him as he helped him up. He led him to knocked over log where he sat him down while he got some refreshments from the nearby vending machines. "Why are you so obsessed with Hokage-jiji anyway?
"Ji-chan gave me the name Konohamaru. He took it off the name of this village. But even though it's a name that everyone should have heard many times, no one calls me by that name. Whenever anyone sees me or calls me, they only see the grandson of a Hokage." Konohamaru explained. "No one recognizes me as an individual. I hate that. So I want the title of Hokage right now."
"Baka. You don't become Hokage to be recognized, you become recognized to be Hokage." Naruto told him. "It's not a title that a kid can carry so easily. You keep saying "Hokage, Hokage". If you want the title so badly…" He said and grinned. "You'll have to work for it!"
"I found you!" A voice proclaimed. Turning, they both saw Ebisu, standing on a branch looking at Naruto with hateful eyes. "Now, young master, let us go home."
"No! I'm going to defeat Jiji right now, and get the title of Hokage right now! Don't bother me!" Konohamaru yelled at him. Naruto hearing this sighed, was this kid deaf to anything he told him?
"Hokage is a title you receive when you understand the principles of morality, knowledge, loyalty, getting along with family, and can use more than 1000 techniques…" Ebisu lectured before being interrupted by Naruto.
"The Hokage are the leaders of our village, Konohagakure. They are generally acknowledged as the strongest in the village, but ideology and renown plays a large part in being chosen for the position. They are usually chosen by the current Hokage." He said.
"Yes, that is all…correct." Ebisu admitted before grabbing Konohamaru and tried to drag him away. "Come now young master. The quickest path to becoming Hokage is to listen to me!"
"The quickest path?! There is no quick path to become Hokage you idiot! It takes dedication, hard training and above all, the right belief! There's no shortcut! I'm gonna make you pay for insulting it!" Naruto told him angrily, getting him to focus on him instead of Konohamaru. "This is silly; I am an elite teacher even if I do not look like one. You can't beat me." He said arrogantly.
Naruto glared at him before smirking, as silver sand rose behind him. He had sent some into the ground while he was distracted with Konohamaru. The sand formed into a big rectangular block that slammed Ebisu into the ground, knocking him out. Naruto sighed before muttering. "Don't underestimate your opponents, bakayaro."
Turning he walked away but called back to Konohamaru before he was out of sight. "You can't be the next Hokage, Konohamaru. 'Cause that'll be me! But grow strong, and I'll be happy to give the title to you, when my time is up."
Naruto sighed as he sat in his now former classroom; listening to Haruno Sakura complaining about their sensei being late. Currently only he, Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke where the only occupants, everybody else already having left with their sensei. Even their former sensei, Umino Iruka, had left, having other duties to attend to. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke had been put on a team together with Hatake Kakashi as their sensei.
Naruto already knew him, he had been part of his ANBU guard when he was young, and he had helped him out when he could. He had explained to him that he felt it was his duty, as his father's student. Naruto had even started seeing him as an older brother of sorts, affectionately calling him "Kaka-ni"
"Sakura, give it a break already, Kaka-ni always arrives three hours late." Naruto told her before looking at the clock. "So he should arrive any minute now." Right as he stopped speaking the door to the classroom opened, and a ninja with white hair stepped inside. Naruto grinned and threw an oval shaped silvery object at him. "Think fast Kaka-ni!" Kakashi didn't even glance at him as he leaned back, letting the object fly past him before leaning forward as the object swung around and came back at him, before landing in Naruto's hand again.
"I see you're as insufferable as always Naruto-kun." Kakashi commented before turning to the two others in the room. Sakura looked dumbfounded that Naruto would seemingly attack their superior. Sasuke simply looked impassive like usual. "My first impression of you two is…you're boring."
"Let's see, why don't you introduce yourselves." Kakashi said after they all had moved to the rooftop.
"Introduce ourselves? What should we say?" Sakura asked. Kakashi shrugged and said. "What you like, hate, your dreams, and hobbies. Something like that. I can go first.
I'm Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream…I have few hobbies." He told them. Sakura's eye twitched as she muttered "All we learned was his name." Naruto grinned before speaking up. "He's Hatake Kakashi. His likes are to make up dumb excuses to why he's late, salt-broiled saury and miso soup with eggplant. He greatly dislikes being photographed without his mask and any food that's fried or sweet. He also hates those who would abandon their comrades. His hobby is to read the Icha Icha series."
Kakashi gave her a lazy glare. "Thank you for that Naruto-kun." Naruto smirked at him, even though he knew he'd pay for that. "Now it's your turn." He continued. "You first." He said pointing to Naruto.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, red bean soup and silver! I dislike the three minutes that ramen takes to cook and people who can't tell the kunai from the scroll. My hobbies are training, pulling pranks and taking care of my plants. My dream is to become the next Hokage!" He told them. Kakashi hummed before turning to Sakura. "Okay, next."
"I'm Haruno Sakura! I like…well, the person I like is…And my hobby is…well, my dream is to…" Sakura said, glancing several times at Sasuke before giving a high-pitched squeal.
"And? What do you hate?" Kakashi asked her. "Ino-pig!" She exclaimed fiercely.
"Hmm okay then, last one, go."
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things that I hate, and there aren't a lot of things that I like. Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as just a dream. The revival of my clan, and to…kill a certain man." Sasuke stated ominously.
The others stared at him for a bit before Naruto spoke up. "Sooo, in what order is that?" He asked, bringing the attention to him. "Like, are you going to revive your clan first, or kill this man first? Because what if you try to kill the man and fail and get killed, then you can't revive your clan." Once hhe finished he noticed the others staring at him. "What?"
"Alright, you three all have unique personalities. I like that. We're going to begin a mission starting tomorrow." Kakashi said, getting them back on track. "First, we're going to do something that we four can do. Survival training."
"Survival training? Why are we going to train when it's a mission? We had plenty of training at the academy." Sakura asked. Naruto had to repress a laugh; Sakura wasn't exactly well trained, Naruto was unsure if she'd even be able to beat a normal bandit.
"This is no ordinary training." Kakashi told them and started chuckling to himself. Naruto scowled. "Oi Kaka-ni just tell us already."
"Well, if I say this, I'm sure you three are going to be surprised. Out of the twenty seven graduates, only nine are going to become Genin. The other eighteen will be sent back to the academy. In other words, this training is going to be a very hard test with a dropout rate of 66%." He said, shocking the three Genin aspirants.
"See? You three are surprised!" Kakashi laughed at their shock. "Wait, then what was the final exam for?" Sakura asked.
"That? It just picks out those who are qualified to become a Genin." Kakashi explained before continuing. "Anyway, I'm going to determine whether or not you pass or fail tomorrow at the training grounds. Bring your shinobi equipment and meet at 5 A.M!"
"Now then, meeting over. Oh yeah, don't eat breakfast. You're going to throw up if you do." He told them before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Naruto sighed as he stood up and addressed the others. "Don't listen to Kaka-ni; he's just trying to play with your heads. There is no way only nine out of twenty seven graduates become Genin, if that was the case we'd have a very small force of shinobi. And it's better to eat and puke than not eat and not have the energy to fight." He advised them before using his own Ginsa Shunshin to leave.
Naruto knows about his status as a Jinchuriki and who his parents are. Hiruzen believed Naruto could handle the information at an early age. The age when they start and graduate the academy is differant so everyone is four years older, meaning the Rookie Nine are sixteen, Team Gai are seventeen and the Konohamaru Corps are twelve.
Naruto has red hair from his mother, and red eyes as an influense from the Kyubi.
Naruto's fighting style, unlike Gaara he will mainly use his silver sand to form objects and weapons to use against his opponents. Though there will be some similarities, obviously. Also on the subject of Jiton (Magnet Release), the elements used to create it has never been confirmed. Raiton and Doton, are the chakra natures Naruto will have.
