Chapter One: Naruto, Anbu sensei!
Young, ten-year old Naruto stood in front of the Hokage, Anbu captain mask on as he stood at attention. Sandaime sat at his desk, reading an unrolled scroll. "You called, old man?" said Naruto.
Sandaime looked up and said, "Yes, Naruto. You are going to be demoted to Jounin for a long while, because I'm trusting you to be the sensei of a three-man team."
"Old man, why?! Who'll be the captain if I'm demoted?" Naruto yelled. He glared at the Hokage from the slits in his mask.
Sarutobi sighed. "Hatake Kakashi was a former Anbu as well. I will promote him to captain until you finish your brats," he replied.
Naruto's death glare shot at him. "Fine, whatever, old man, I'm outta here!" he flung the door open and leaped out, slamming it behind him. Sandaime knew that it would be difficult to let the "Yellow Flash Shinigami" know why he chose him for a sensei. You have great potential, Naruto…
His gaze averted back to the scroll he was reading. Sandaime signed it, and placed the paper on the stack of done papers. Too many papers…when will I ever finish with all these papers?
Naruto was fuming when he went to his apartment. "How dare he!" he stormed. "Demoting me to the stupid rank of Jounin! I'm the fucking Anbu captain, so why can't he leave me in my position?! No less, I have to train a bunch of people who are simple cadets! Weaklings! For all I care, they could just die where they stand!"
He paused to take a deep breath. "Maybe not…but still, they're older than me, but I'm stronger than them! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!"
The day that the genin were made into teams, Naruto and the other Jounin went to the academy. Asuma and Kurenai were startled to see Nruto there, and asked, "Naruto, why are you here? Aren't you the Anbu captain?"
"I was…until Sandaime-jiichan demoted me to Jounin!" huffed Naruto.
Kurenai exclaimed, "You were demoted?! But you're the best Anbu captain since Nidaime!"
"I know…" Naruto said coldly. "I was still stripped of my rank and Kakashi took my place."
"Kakashi? No way, you're better than him!" Asuma snorted. "Kakashi used be a former Anbu, but still…he wasn't the best captain."
"Hn," said Naruto. They lapsed into silence. Asuma and Kurenai and the other jounin senseis went in, but Naruto eyed the window.
He heard a faint voice saying, "Team Seven is Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hokirizu Yamero…Jounin sensei is Konoha's "Yellow Flash Shinigami"…"
It was then he decided to leap through the window. Naruto sprang up and entered dynamically into the classroom, scaring a few students shitless. Iruka was slightly startled by his sudden appearance from the academy window, but kept reading off the names in the teams.
Naruto stood in the corner quietly with the others, eyeing that year's students. Uchiha Sasuke…the prodigy and last survivor of his clan…interesting…Haruno Sakura…weak, I will need to raise her stamina…Hokirizu Yamero…the dead last of the academy…ha, he has a lot of potential as well…
Iruka finished announcing the teams and said, "Follow your Jounin senseis out the door." Naruto walked forward.
The students dispersed and Naruto told his team to meet him on the roof. He disappeared in a flash of yellow. They walked up the stairs and came onto the roof.
"Now, tell me a little bit about yourselves," said Naruto.
"Sensei, tell us about yourself first, so we know how to describe ourselves," said Sakura.
"Me? My name's Uzumaki Naruto. I like to fight and I dislike the fact that I was demoted. My dreams are none of your business, but I have only two hobbies."
"Naruto-sensei, how old are you?" asked Sakura. "You don't look very old to me."
"No, of course I don't…all three of you are two years older than me," Nruto replied.
That cause Sakura and Yamero to gape. Sasuke's eyes were wide with disbelief. "S-sensei…you're younger than us?!" screamed Sakura.
"Yes, now shut up and talk about yourself, not me," said Naruto icily.
"I'm Haruno Sakura and I like…no, they boy that I like…let's move on, I hate Yamero and Ino-pig, and my dream is to…blush…"
"You sound like a pathetic kunoichi," Naruto said nonchalantly. "Next."
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I hate a lot of things, but I don't care, considering there's really nothing I like. My ambition is to kill…my older brother. My hobbies…I have none."
"Whatever," said Naruto. "Next."
"My name is Hokirizu Yamero! I love ramen, I hate Sasuke, and my dream is to be the next Hokage!" Yamero said loudly.
"That's interesting…but tomorrow, meet me in the training grounds, but don't eat breakfast; you'll throw up." My team consists of a prodigy avenger, a weak, lovesick kunoichi, and an annoying brat with a strange dream.
Next morning found the team in the training grounds. Naruto said, "Now we shall do a test…that has a failure rate of 66."
"What?! What kind of frickin' test is that?!" yelled Saura.
"A survival test. You have to get at least one of these bells from me," replied Naruto, holding up two dangling golden bells.
He's younger than us, so I should be able to take him down with one blow. Even if he is a demoted Jounin. "Naruto-sensei, what rank were you before you were demoted?" asked sakura.
"Anbu captain," was the answer.
Sasuke's thoughts were instantly banished when he heard that. We'll never be able to win against an Anbu captain! Who's been demoted to Jounin!
"When I say go, you must hide and try to get these bells from me. Attack as if you were trying to kill me. The one who does not get a bell will be tied to a stump and tortured with," said Naruto. "The times ends at noon."
"But Naruto-sensei, why are there only two bells?" said Yamero.
"That's for you to figure out. Now, shut up, dead-last." Yamero was getting angry, and he pulled out a kunai and tried to attack Naruto.
In a flash of yellow, Naruto had Yamero pinned to the ground with his own kunai at his neck. "I didn't say go," said Naruto, standing back up.
So this is an Anbu captain…Sasuke thought.
"Ready…steady…GO!!!" The three genin leaped away.
Sasuke was hiding in the branches of a tree, concealed by leaves. He watched as Yamero challenged Naruto to a fight. Yamero used the Bunshin no Jutsu and attacked naruto.
The blond Jounin sidestepped and used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Yamero was beaten and thrown into the water. Two shuriken surfaced and headed towards Naruto. He caught the two shuriken easily and threw them back.
Naruto's clones went into the water and dragged Yamero out. He used Suiton: Tsunami no Jutsu to try and drown Naruto.
His sensei grabbed Yamero and started to spin. Around and around he went, spinning faster each time. When he was at fll speed, he flung Yamero far and wide, launching him at least a hundred feet into the air and five hundred yards away. The genin landed uncomfortably on the roof of the academy.
Sasuke took out five kunai and five shuriken. He flung them at Naruto. The former Anbu captain used Kawarimi no Jutsu to switch places with a log. The weapons hit the log and Sasuke tried to hide himself again.
Naruto crept up stealthily behind Sasuke. He poked the Uchiha in the back, causing him to whirl around and come face-to-face with his sensei. Naruto punched him and Sasuke flew right out of the tree, tumbling into the bushes.
Naruto knew where Sakura was, and used genjutsu on her. He heard Sakura's scream before she fainted. The genjutsu illusion of a dying Sasuke disappeared. He sighed. Sakura really was weak.
Yamero came back to the training grounds and just when he was about to attack, the clock rang. "Time's up," said Naruto. "None of you got a bell…what a shame."
Yamero was tied to the stump. "I have news for you. None of you have to worry about going back to the academy…"
Sakura and Yamero both yelled, "Yay! We passed!"
"…Let me finish before you actually know what's going on. First off, you won't be going back to the academy…because you all should quit as shinobi!"
