Naruto walked down the street, wind blowing through his hair, he rubbed his together and put them in his pockets, it felt... Cold? Naruto shook his head in disbelieve and continued on his way, he wasn't the biggest kid, but he wasn't the smallest either, and today he was going to start the academy. He had been training constantly his whole life, in order to be able to escape so many near death experiences, by the hand of the civilian council.
Naruto was looking around in disbelief, there was no one around, it was early in the morning yes... but there was always ninjas and other people, realizing he was alone he turned to see a man staring at him. In his eyes there was a mixture of emotions, hate, fear, and most of all, more hate. the man's KI, also known as killer intend radiated out of his body, Naruto was frozen in fear. He was tall, dark skinned, and visibly dirty. In his right hand he held a large knife. In his left he held a club of sorts.
The civilian charged swinging the club horizontally in a swift motion. "DIE DEMON!" he shouted, time seemed to slow down for Naruto.
'Why do they all hate me...? What did I ever do? I'm not a demon. IM NOT A DEMON!'
Tears formed in the young boys eyes, he was so mad, but to sad to act. 'I just want to be normal'.
The club collided with Naruto's face, breaking into splinters and exploding on impact. The man looked up in disbelief to see two red eyes with black slits for pupils staring back at him.
Out of pure instincts Naruto started doing hand seals ending in Ram. "Kaosu no pitto"
Everything in the civilians mind went numb, he dropped his weapon and screamed, falling unconscious to the ground, it would take weeks for mental rehabilitation, and from such a weak genjutsu, the man was truly afraid of Naruto.
Naruto starting jumping from roof to roof to escape the crime scene, not to be caught, he knew that would only result in more attempts to murder him, and some ninja chunin and below may get involved, his c-rank genjutsu would not stop them all. He wondered. What would it be like to not have people always trying to kill you?
Well pondering the possibility of being normal, he stepped out of place falling into an alleyway , head smashing against the wall, and knocking him unconscious.
It was dark; it was not just an absence of light. It was the opposite of light, complete darkness. Naruto rubbed his eyes and stood, looking before him a massive golden cage, a piece of paper about 8 1/2" by 11". On it in kanji it read 'Seal'.
Before Naruto had a chance to think about where he was, a giant claw hit the cage, red chakra bursting from behind the bars. One big red eye opened.
"Why have you come here, brat?"
"Who... who are you"
"WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? I am the almighty kyuubi no yoko, unrespectful brats."
"Listen you bastard fox, I thought you were dead, where are we."
"We are in your mind young one"
Naruto's look of confusion made the fox smile, big vicious razor sharp white teeth showed through the cage as his other eye opened.
"You really are stupid you know that? Think about it, your birthday? The fourth's formidable skills in fuinjutsu.. Did you really think someone could kill me, the most powerful of the most powerful beasts in the planet" The fox let out a sadistic laugh that made the hair on the back of Naruto's neck stand up.
"So... Everyone hates me because you're inside of me? That's why they call me monster?" tears forming in the 8 year olds eyes.
"No." Naruto looked up confused. The kyuubi continued "Everyone hates you because they think you ARE me, foolish humans, hating a child out of stupidity"
"Why are you talking to me, shouldn't you be eating me or something to free yourself, you evil fox"
kyuubi chuckled "If only that was how it worked, if you die, I will also die, no matter how taster you would be"
Naruto cringed at the thought of being chewed. "So, what am i supposed to do about everyone hating me?"
"Become strong, and then they will understand you're not to be hated, but respected... or feared. I think you should take the latter, but that's just me" The kyuubi chuckled.
To the fox's surprise, Naruto smiled as well. "I think I'll just get stronger then all of them, and become Hokage, that is me dream after all."
"I think I will be able to help you there, but first i need you to wake up, I will communicate with you in your mind"
Before Naruto could respond light hit his eyes.
Naruto stood in the alleyway we slept in, there was sun shining in his eyes, the sun was directly above him, that meant it was already noon, and he only had a week to train before he started at the academy, and saying he wanted to make a good impression, would be a huge understatement.
When he arrived home, he thought back to what happened to him, he remembered. He was a container for a demon, and he would have words withojii-san about this. When he looked at the sun he could tell it was already 1 O'clock, and he only have 8 hours to train, staying out after 9 was suicide for him, he grabbed his assorted training gear and head out.
Well Naruto trained he gauged himself, he was about at third year academy level taijutsu, he didn't know any ninjutsu, and only 1 genjutsu, which he only used once, he could not replicate what he had done the night before. 'I'll have to ask kyuubi about that'.
"Ask me what" Naruto jumped, startled.
'Hey, you can hear my thoughts?'
"Yes, though I only listen if there directed at me, now what do you want to train, I can teach you many things"
'I used a genjutsu yesterday, how did I do it'
"That was me, you were a standstill, and I knew that if I just gave you my chakra you might kill him, so I simply implanted the temporary jutsu into your mind"
'You can do that!' Naruto shouted in his mind, clearly excited.
"Yes, now what would you like me to help you learn for this upcoming week"
'I don't really know, what do you think I should learn?'
"Would you like to be an average shinobi, or would you like to be genin level when you arrive?"
'YOU CAN DO THAT, make me genin level!'
"Hahaha, well then first you must learn 2 jutsu's, henge, bushin. They are what you need to pass the ninjutsu part of the genin exam". The fox smirked at the emotions he felt coming from Naruto. Then he continued.
"But that's not enough, you will also need taijutsu, which is easy, I will simply lend you enough power to be genin level in taijutsu now, focus on your muscles used in running, pushing, kicking, jumping, and side stepping" Naruto mentally nodded and did what he was asked.
Red chakra started to visibly spilled out of him, standing in the middle of training ground 7. He focused and the chakra pulled itself in molding into his muscles, the chakra tore his muscles as if he had done the most intense workout of his life, then they would repair themselves, and repeat. He felt power coursing through him, then pain, and then more pain. He screamed out a silent yell, breathless he fell to one knee. The red chakra started seeping out of him, his eyes turned red and the chakra contorted freely around him.
"CONSENTRATE NARUTO, IGNORE THE PAIN" Naruto did as he was told and stood back up shaking, barring his teeth he close his eyes and held his ram seal with his hands, the chakra made its way back into his body, and the process continued. After 10 more seconds of excruciating pain, it was done. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
"You did well Naruto, now I will train you well you are in your mindscape"
"Okay, you know you could've warned me about the pain?"
Chuckling the kyuubi replied "now that would be just no fun"
"Kyuubi?"
"Yes?" the kyuubi asked questioningly.
"Thank you for helping me." Nobody ever helped Naruto, he hated the village, but now here was an evil creature helping him, a tear of joy dripped down his cheek.
One Week Later
Naruto sat in his chair at the academy; there class consisted of a lot of young hopefuls, all wanting to become shinobi. Naruto looked around and notice a boy he had seen around town, he was supposed to be some sort of 'genius', Uchiha Sasuke, he wore normal Uchiha clothing and sat brooding. A large group of girls seemed to be staring at him with love in their eyes, smirking and giggling away, the dark and mysterious Uchiha scowled and turned away, clearly ignoring them, they all giggled as a young blond girl walked up and looked at him, she spoke in a loud yet non commanding tone."Hey Sasuke-kun, I'm Ino, this is my friend Sakura". Said girl blushed nervously and looked down, her pink hair covering her face from further embarrassment, her friends giggled, Ino noticing Sakura's blush quickly blocked the path for Sakura to see Sasuke.
Ino struggled to form the words then came out with it, "So Sasuke, you're probably soooo strong, you want to do some ninja stuff after school with me, at your house?"
Brooding Sasuke looked up and spoke, "no thanks".
Before Ino could retort the door swung open, a tall dark skinned man walked in. He wore a chunin vest and the regular Konoha chunin outfit, he held a clipboard in 1 hand and a pen in the other, he had a scar that went across horizontally over his face, cheek, up around onto his nose and back down, over to the other cheek. He smiled and spoke.
"Hello everyone, my name is Iruka Umino, but you can all call me Iruka-sensei. I will be training this class exclusively for your 1st and fourth years. You're sensei that was supposed to teach you had an unfortunate accident, and will not be able to teach this year". Iruka proclaimed smirking toward where Naruto was sitting, the blond student threw a quick grin his way and thought back to recent events.
Flashback - 2 days ago
Naruto stood, looking at the man that was towering over him, kunai in hand.
"Hey, you demon brat, I heard you'll be in my class in 2 days, well I'd rather not have a monster mixed in with real students, so I think I'll just kill you now."
The man raised his kunai to strike, Naruto stood hands in his pockets, chewing on what looked like a long toothpick, smiling. Before the man could strike he felt a hand grab his hand mid swing. He looked back astonished to see another Naruto standing behind him, the clone winked and pointed back to the original, the second he took his eyes off the clone to look back at Naruto, he saw in horror as a fist smashed into his face, and then another fist hit his opposite cheek, less than a second after he found himself upside down looking into red eyes, looking down, or up i guess, he watched as the ground opened up underneath him, both Naruto's grabbed the chunin and threw him downwards head first.
He went six feet into the ground before it closed on him. Suffocating the man quick became unconscious.
2 anbu watched the entire exchange from a rooftop, smiles covered up by their masks.
End flashback
Iruka started again after also thinking about what happened to his fellow chunin. He, The Hokage, the 2 anbu, and Naruto were the only ones who knew of the incident, which was a relief, if the council knew that Naruto had overpowered a chunin, even if he had the element of surprise, they would NOT be happy. The chunin was now in prison.
"Alright everyone, today we are going to get to know you all, I will point to you and you say you're names, and your dream."
Iruka started to go around the class, all the answers were pretty basic, with the exception of Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, and Shikamaru, everyone basically just wanted to be average ninja. No one really knew Naruto because he spent all his time training, so some people were pretty shocked to see some random kid smirking and proclaiming he wanted to become Hokage. There was no ridicule, because who knew, maybe he was an okay student, their parents did say he was dangerous after all. Hinata simply wanted to impress her clan, well Sasuke wanted to revive his respective clan. Shikamaru said he wanted a job where he could watch the clouds all day.
After Iruka explained what it means to be a ninja and protect the village, and give them all basic introduction to taijutsu, hands off approach, they all seemed to be losing their eagerness to learn,
one of them even had the nerve to be fast asleep head down on his desk, snoring. Iruka slammed his hand on the desk and awoke the boy, his pineapple like hair seemed to defy a lot of science, when he looked at the chunin he simple muttered "troublesome..." and slouched in his chair, pretending to pay attention.
After he explained the basics of taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu, he asked any of them if they knew and ninjutsu or genjutsu.
4 people raised there hands.
Ironically it was the same four that stood out previously, Hinata, Sasuke, Naruto, and Shikamaru.
"Okay you four come to the front of the class." after doing so the chunin directed his attention to Hinata.
"Hyuuga Hinata, how about you show us first?" the man said with a grin.
After Hinata demonstrated the byakuugan, Iruka assure everyone that they would need a kekkai genkai to do such jutsu's, and he would explain bloodlines in the upcoming week. next was Shikamaru, who used shadows and took control of Iruka, making him dance like a robot for the better part of 3 minutes, then let him go. When Iruka suggested that Sasuke go next, Sasuke replied calmly.
"I think we should probably go outside for my jutsu." the brooding 8 year old explained.
"I guess we can all go outside for the last 2 demonstrations, afterwards we shall continue our class with some light sparring." he motioned the students outside, to which they followed him to the small academy training grounds.
"Okay Sasuke, go for it" the sensei suggested
"I'd back up" Sasuke preformed hand seals ending in tiger and inhaled "KAITON: GAKYUUKA NO JUTSU" the raven haired emo exhaled flames as a large fireball formed and shot out about 24 feet before dissipating.
Everyone was shocked, Iruka especially. Suddenly a large group burst into cheering about how great Sasuke-kun was. Sasuke smirked and walked past where Naruto stood, kind of saying, 'beat that'.
Iruka, not being able to speak, just motioned for Naruto to do his jutsu.
"Sensei is it okay if I do another jutsu to set up for my jutsu?" Iruka nodded in reply.
"Give them hell kid" Naruto mentally nodded and walked out into the clearing
He made a cross sign with his fingers. "KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU". Everyone looked as Naruto was consumed by a cloud of smoke, when the smoke was blown away by a passing wind; he was surrounded by 20 more Naruto's. Everyone gasped at the site; the Naruto's smiling and waving.
Sasuke silently sat on a rock and thought to himself 'wow, he might just be almost as good as me, too bad I'm and uchi-' his thought was cut off as another puff of smoke hit the area, when he looked up, there stood all of Naruto's clones, henged into members of the class. The entire class gaped at the site, looking at the exact replicas of their own appearances. Iruka was trying to reattach his jaw when all of the clones took of high into the air, really high. As they rose they all started to rain shuriken and kunai at Naruto, soon it seemed a wall of metal was heading towards him. Iruka was about to try jumped in when Naruto spoke as he made impossibly fast hand seals.
"Fuuton:Shinjinbukai-fu no bakuhatsu" air pulsated out of Naruto's hands as the metal in the sky exploded upwards back towards the clones, who tried to dodge the weapons.
The class watched as clones of themselves were stabbed and poofed out of existence, the clones that managed to somehow dodge the attack exploded when the air itself hit them.
As the last clone was extinguished, so was the last of the weapons. Naruto turned to his class and smiled. Hands in his pockets, he walked back towards the group of academy students. Whispers could be heard.
"He's so powerful"
"Could he beat Sasuke-kun?"
"I-Impossible... Isn't it?"
Sasuke's face was one of awe, how could he be out done by some random kid, the same age as him. A clan-less nobody could not possibly be that strong.
There sensei tried to speak, but found it very difficult. He knew Naruto was pretty strong for a kid, but that amount of shadow clones, a mass henge, and a b rank wind ninjutsu, could he be the next Kakashi, or Itachi.
"O-Okay e-everyone settle done. L-Let's get sparring and training taijutsu" the man was still almost paralyzed, wondering if he even had enough chakra to perform what Naruto had just preformed.
