Chapter 1

A bright sun shines over a small village. The village contained lots of small houses no bigger than two stories. The citizens of the village seemed happy and content. Their happiness is suddenly broken when a blond haired boy with blue eyes wearing a black shirt, goggles, and orange pants with an orange jacket tied to his waste runs right past them with a bucket in his hand. This boy was being chased by two individuals wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with black pants, a green vest, open toed shoes and a head band with a symbol carved into it were chasing after him.

"You can't catch me!" a blond haired boy yells at the two guys. The blond haired boy had just painted over a bunch of faces of people carved into a cliff that looks over the small village they were in. The blond haired boy starts jumping on the roof of the houses in order to avoid them but the guys keep chasing here.

"Get back here Naruto" yells one of the men at the blond. "You will pay for what you did to the Hokage faces."

"Please" yelled Naruto "I think it looks better this way."

Meanwhile another individual dressed the same as the two individuals bursts into a room where an old man was painting.

"Lord Hokage" said the man to the old man. "It's an emergency."

"I hope you aren't bothering me over something trivial" said the old man. "And don't tell me it's Naruto again."

"It is Naruto again he climbed onto the great stone faces and put graffiti on the Hokage."

The old man takes a big sigh and follows the man out the room. He walks onto a balcony and sees what Naruto has done.

"Well when you capture him make sure he cleans it up" said the old man

"Yes Lord Hokage" said the man.

Back with Naruto he manages to escape his pursuers by hiding behind a cloth disguised as the fence escaping without them noticing.

Naruto laughs. "That was way too easy."

"You think so NARUTO!" says a voice behind Naruto.

Naruto jumps up and lands on his ass. He turns and sees a male dressed like the other people chasing him he had a scar on his nose and brown hair tied back in a ponytail.

"Where'd you come from Iruka-sensei" says Naruto to the man. "What are you doing here?"

"No Naruto" says Iruka "What are you doing here you're supposed to be in class."

Naruto gives a big grin and starts to run. Iruka takes out some rope and ties Naruto down. He then picks him up and carries him away. They arrive at a school with a large courtyard that has kunai and shuriken scattered all over the ground. They enter the school go up a level and enter a class room. A bunch of students were sitting in their desks and watched Iruka carry Naruto and place him in front of the chalkboard still tied up. All the student's eyes were on Naruto.

"I'm at the end of my rope Naruto" said Iruka "You failed the graduation test twice and now you are on the verge of messing it up again." Naruto turns his head away from him. Angered Iruka turns to the rest of the class. "Fine, because Naruto missed it I want everyone to line up and perform the transformation jutsu again."

Everyone starts wining and giving angry faces to Naruto. All the students get out their chairs and form a line. Iruka unties Naruto and points for him to get in line. Naruto walks over to the line.

"Naruto over here" says a voice to Naruto he turns and sees a student that looks exactly like him except with black hair calling out to him. This kid had the same outfit that Naruto had on except the blue. He also wore goggles except his were red instead of green.

"Thanks Menma" said Naruto as he takes his place in front of him.

"Thanks a lot Naruto" said a kid behind Menma. This kid had on brown pants and a short gray jacket with green outline and a small fishnet shirt. His hair was tied back into a ponytail.

Naruto doesn't seem to react to him at all. One by one Iruka call the individuals up to transform. Most of the students transformed into him. It finally got to Naruto. He walks up to Iruka and does a hand sign. He yells "Transform" and turns into a female version of himself completely naked with pigtails. Iruka gets a surprised look on his face and blood shoots out of his nose. Naruto turns back to normal and starts laughing.

"You see that?" says Naruto "I call that my Sexy jutsu."

"CUT YOUR STUPID TRICKS" says Iruka "THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING."

Everyone with the exception of Menma just glares at Naruto. Menma just places his hand on his face and shakes it in disappointment.

After school Naruto is forced to clean up the graffiti he made on the Hokage faces and is supervised by Iruka. He grabs a bucket of water and a sponge and hands it to Naruto. Naruto starts cleaning the paint off the faces.

"You aren't going to leave until you wipe off every ounce of paint" said Iruka

"It's fine by me" said Naruto "It's not like I have anything better to do."

Iruka stares at Naruto for a minute. "Hey Naruto" said Iruka. Naruto looks up at him. "If you hurry up and finish I will buy you some Ramen"

Naruto got excited. "Now that's some motivation Sensei I'll have this cleaned in no time."

Naruto manages to clean up all the paint just before the sun starts to set. The two of them head over to a Ramen shop and sit down in the small chairs. Menma arrive around the same time as them and sits right next to Naruto. Iruka notices the bandages on his hand and the blood on his face.

"Who did you fight with this time?" Iruka asked Menma.

"Don't worry about it sensei" said Menma "They didn't need to go to the hospital this time."

Iruka sighed.

"That's not to point" said Iruka. "I swear the two of you are always causing trouble."

"Well we are brothers" said Menma. "Twins at that."

"Doesn't mean that the two of you should misbehave like this."

"I fight people who disrespect me and Naruto. I don't just pick fights at random."

"But you have so much potential. Unlike Naruto you have the highest scores in the class. You even surpassed Sasuke's scores.

"Really" said Naruto interrupting.

"That's only on tests" said Menma. "My physical skills are worse than Naruto's"

Iruka smirks. "I highly doubt that."

The lady in the ramen shop finishes their bowls and places them in front of all of them. Naruto immediately starts eating.

"Naruto" said Iruka. "Why would you do that to the Hokage faces? I mean you know who they are don't you?"

"Of course" said Naruto. "They are the greatest ninja of their time. The best of the best undefeated ninja champs. And the fourth Hokage is the one who saved the village from the nine tailed fox. He was the most amazing."

"Yeah you're right about that Naruto" said Menma.

"Then why did you…" asked Iruka

"Because I'm going to surpass all of them" said Naruto. "Me Naruto the next Hokage a ninja legend. Then everyone will stop disrespecting me and look up to me. Believe it."

"Well that's one way to tell us apart Iruka-sensei" said Menma

"Yeah that's true" said Iruka

"By the way Iruka-sensei" said Naruto "I kind of want to ask a favor."

"What is it" said Iruka.

"Can I try on your headband?"

"Oh this? No way. You can only wear the leaf headband when you graduate from the academy and become a ninja. You and Menma got to pass the test tomorrow."

"Aww man that's not fair."

The three of them finish their meal and Iruka leave them. Naruto and Menma make their way back to their home.

"Hey Menma" said Naruto.

"Do you think we can pass the test tomorrow?"

"Maybe" said Menma "We just have to do our best."

"Yeah that's true. I kind of wish we had someone back home to go to."

Menma looks down at the ground. "Well we have each other. We are family after all."

"Yeah. Race you home."

Naruto starts running ahead of Menma. Menma stops and smiles as Naruto gets really far ahead of him. He then turns to the Hokage statues and looks at the man on the far right. Suddenly, Menma hears a demonic voice in his head.

"You're thinking about it again aren't you?" said the demonic voice.

"Of course I am" said Menma in his head. "It's been twelve years since you got sealed inside me. It's hard not to think about it."

"Only half of me is inside you. The other is inside Naruto and it seems like that half of me has yet to talk to him."

Menma chuckles. "It took ten years before you started talking to me. Maybe your other half is just stubborn Nine Tails."

"All of me is stubborn. You just relate to me more. By the way do you plan on purposely failing the exam again like last year?"

Menma looks down in shame. "I don't know Naruto doesn't seem to be improving. Becoming Hokage means the world to him."

"Maybe it's time for you give up on him and actually take this ninja training seriously."

"No, I can't just leave him behind not after what we've been through. It would seem right."

"Well if that's how you feel I won't intervene. But at the very least think about how you can get him and the other me to talk with each other."

Menma lets the words of Nine Tails sink in and starts running to catch up to Naruto.
