Naruto, Realization Of Reality
Realizing the ways of reality and it's cons, Naruto becomes what his torments disgraced.
Chapter 1
"Naruto." Was the name in which Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, called out too, for which he recieved the appropriate response.
"Yes Hokage-sama?" Answered the small boy Naruto, who looked to be the age of three with chin length wavy white hair, big pale gray eyes with no pupils, creamy pale skin and a small but angular face.
"Ah my boy no need for such formality with me but I must tell you personally of the Academy in which you will be attending until you are deemed ready to be promoted to the rank of genin." Sarutobi informed Naruto.
Naruto confused by what the Hokage's implying, gives him a weird look as if asking for an explanation with Sarutobi immediately understanding the gesture.
"Naruto my boy I can see that your potential is limitless as someone your age shouldn't have the type of mentality that you posses, it's honestly incredible." Sarutobi said praising the boy as he knew greatness when he saw it.
Acknowledging the praise with a small nod, Naruto asked the Hokage when will he be entering the Academy in which Sarutobi responded with three days time. After that Naruto left the Hokage's office deciding to get things ready for his time at the Academy.
After Sarutobi made sure that Naruto was out of the vicinity of the area he slumped back in his chair while letting put a sly chuckle, smoking on his pipe.
"Oh yes, he will do great."
Three Days Later
Standing in front of the Academy, Naruto wearing a standard short sleeves fishnet shirt, black cargo shorts, a gray backpack and medical bandages wrapped halfway up his shins and forearms, was also observing the other students who were all older than him ranging from seven to twelve some a little bit older.
Naruto noticing the looks he was receiving decided to enter the Academy building knowing that it was in conjunction with his age and appearance. After getting into the building Naruto began to walk around until he found himself in a room with teachers all around it discussing some seemingly important matters. Catching the attention of an old lady she stood up and walked over to Naruto before questioning on why he's here.
"Why aren't you with your parents little one." Asked the woman in the soft voice.
"I'm an orphan and was assigned to attend this Academy by the Hokage himself." Said Naruto in a flat tone which shocked the rooms occupants in which he shocked the rooms occupants with his vocabulary and use of wording.
"And he will be put into the Advanced Classes of this year until he is deemed ready for a promotion." Said the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi walking up from behind Naruto before laying a hand on his shoulder, "He can handle it." With a smile.
"But Hokage-sama he's severely underaged to be in the Advanced Classes!" The woman said in a respectful but silent tone as to not provoke their Hokage.
As the woman was about to say something again she was interrupted by a man with an average height, spiky brown hair, charcoal eyes and tanned skin with a leaf headband around his forehead.
"It is unwise to permit yourself in to the matters of the Hokage as his decision should be followed through without question." The words quieting the woman as she realized her mistake and walked back to her assigned seat.
Nodding to the man in which the gesture was returned, before looking at Naruto and informing him of what was to come.
"Naruto as you may have heard you will be put into the Advanced Classes and as the name presents you will start off learning the Advanced Subjects instead of the basics, do you think you can handle that?" Asked Sarutobi in a questioning tone.
"... Yes." Was the response Naruto gave Sarutobi before being ushered into an empty classroom with a sign saying 'Advanced Classes' on the door.
Sitting in an empty seat in the front of the class Naruto sighed before waiting for the rest of the students. After a couple of minutes the rest of the students came in with the most of them being of civilian families with some orphans and clan children here and there. Getting weird looks from the other occupants in the room, Naruto was about to explain his presence but was interrupted by the arrival of their sensei.
Walking into the room was the same man that interrupted the woman when she was trying to convince the Hokage not to put him into the Advanced Classes. Walking into the front of the class, the man analyzed the rooms occupants before speaking.
"Hello students of the Advanced Classes, this is your last semester in the Academy", 'Or in some cases both' He thought while looking at Naruto, "And also this is the place where you will be deemed fit enough to take on the life of a shinobi... any questions?"
Raising his hand, a spiky haired boy with black eyes and fair skin asked the name of their sensei in which he replied with Zuko Monimo, the boy also asked with an arrogant smirk on his face what was Naruto here but not by saying his name just pointing at him.
Zuko looked at Naruto for a moment reminiscing on his talk with the Hokage on the boy.
Flashback
After Naruto left the room Sarutobi closed the door and looked at Zuko seriously while ignoring the other occupants of the room.
"That boy as you may have already seen within that small interaction, has a mentality beyond his regulations. He has the mental capacity of a seasoned genin maybe a rookie chunnin and the most shocking fact is that he's only the tender age of three years old... do you know what theses implications mean?"
Zuko, lost for words had no response with the Hokage taking notice of his and the rooms other occupants trauma.
"Treasure this boy as I will not except anything less." Was the last thing Sarutobi said before shunshining away somewhere else, leaving the occupants of the room in deep thought.
Flashback End
Taking his eyes off Naruto, Zuko looked back at the boy who asked the question and requested one from him also.
"What is your name boy?"
"Natsuki Uchiha!" The boy said with large amounts of arrogance in his voice putting emphasis on 'Uchiha'.
"Okay now what is your name boy?" Zuko asked while looking at Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Was his monotone response surprising some students with his uncaring tone.
"And what are your ages?" Zuko asked them both.
"12." Natsuki said with a small smirk.
"3." Naruto said shocking most of the rooms occupants excluding Zuko as he already knew of this fact.
"Now let these factors settle in your head." In which the students followed the instructions and widened their eyes in shocked.
"Ahh so I see you've thought of why in the world would a three year old child would be in the Advance classes of the Academy, which also means he has the chance of becoming a shinobi by the age of four."
The students were shocked to the core with Naruto being surprised himself but quickly understood the situation he's now intertwined within.
"But let's put such trivial things as age in the past and begin our first lesson of the day." So with a grumbled expression on their faces they began their day.
Which was also the start of greatness.
