Yo. I really don't know how to describe my story. I never been good at that kind of stuff so you'll just have to take it in as you go. Naruto is not the Kyuubi jinjuriki. This is an Anbu Naruto fic though so you can expect him to join it this chapter or next. Anyway enjoy the read. Also when naruto speaks think like he's speaking like Tobi from canon when he's with deidra.
I don't own naruto if I did you wouldn't be reading this

Naruto!" Naruto was woken up to the sound of his name. Naruto looked up to see a very annoyed Iruka glaring at him.
"What have I said about sleeping in my class Naruto?" Iruka said scolding the red head.
"Aww but the desk is so comfy Iruka-sensei." He said with a pout on his face. Iruka just sighed and continued his lecture.
After that was over Iruka announced the Genin exam were tomorrow. "And if you don't pass you can always try next year." The bell rang at the end of his little speech. All kids were immediately out the door hoping to rid themselves of the boredom that comes with Iruka's lectures. All except one.
"Naruto you should get home to study for the test."
"Aww but studying is borwing." He said with a pout.
Iruka just sighed and looked at the still seated boy. He had red hair and grey eyes his face had no defining features and an overall plain face. He wore a long sleeve black shirt with fingerless gloves. He wore forearm guards underneath the long sleeves of his shirt. He wore Anbu style pants and black shinobi sandals.
"Did you get the Bunshin yet?" Iruka smirked as the boy scowled and childishly mumbled about mean teachers and leat the room. Iruka just sighed and went back to grading homework till his mind drifted to Naruto.
Naruto was a talented child. He was a self taught orphan who acted very childish but was very dealdly. He excelled at anything that involved sharp things. His taijutsu was medicore and ninjutsu was his worse. He could perform the Kamawari and henge but for the life of himself could not do a bunshin. Every time he did it it either just didn't work or it just died. He honestly didn't know how Naruto was going to pass the exam. Maybe he could ask the Hokage to give him a pass any way. Shaking his head of Naruto Iruka went back to grading.

Naruto stood in his apartment contemplating on what to do about the bunshin. He didn't know why he couldn't do one and it annoyed him to no end.
Maybe he should see if the Hokage could help him. But he's probably busy. He's not the only one who can't do a bunshin but they have Kage Bunshin! Guess being the daughter of the Hokage has its perks. 'Maybe I could ask lord third.' Naruto thought to himself. 'Not like the geezer has anything better to do.'

Today was the day of the Genin Exams. Naruto walked in nervous. He thought the third would have a bunshin technique or a tip but he said all his techniques were to taxing. 'Psh I don't need it any way I pass this exam without help.' He said with determination.
Time skip to Narutos exam
Naruto was awoken by his name being called for the ninjutsu test. He did well on the written... or he could have failed it miserably. Now the weapons portion oh boy. Naruto passed with flying colors hitting all bullseyes with extreme ease, cause if there's one thing he's good at it's useing weapons.
Anyway Naruto walked into the exam room. To say he was nervous would be to say he slightly liked sharp objects. Which would be an extreme understatement. Iruka spoke up.
"Alright Naruto all we need you to do is perform the kamawari, henge, and bunshin."
Naruto nodded and kamawaried as Iruka's assistant Mizuki threw a dull kunai at him instead hitting Iruka who now stood in Naruto's place.
Iruka's gained a tick mark as he replaced Naruto and himself so they were in thier original position.
"Good job Naruto." Said Mizuki as he was trying to stifle a laugh.
Naruto just stood there whistling innocently. Iruka cleared his throat.
"Alright Naruto would you please perform the henge."
Naruto nodded and henge into Iruka then began to childishly flail his arms around and said
"Look at me I'm Iruka-sensei!" He said with his usual happy childish voice.
Iruka's tick mark just got bigger and Mizuki was on the floor laughing. Iruka through a kunai wanting to teach the brat a lesson but was surprised when Naruto dodged it and said
"Your going to have to try harder than that to kill me Iruka-sensei.l" Naruto mocked in his childish voice.
Iruka just sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose at his failed attempt to kill his most annoying student.
"Alright now you just have to do the bunshin Naruto." Said Mizuki
Naruto paled. He forgot about that. Nervous but determined Naruto went through the hand seals for the bunshin. The result was a dead looking Naruto appearing in a poof of smoke. Iruka just sighed sadly. Naruto May be annoying at times but not being able to become a ninja cause one jutsu was just wrong. But he didn't make the rules.
"I'm sorry Naruto but you fail."
"Naruto will just have to try even harder." Said Naruto

"Anyone that interest you?" Asked the Fouth Hokage. He was dressed in his usual outfit. His question was directed to an Anbu with a Dragon mask. They were both looking into a crystal ball at the newest graduating class.
"Not many of interest." Responded the Anbu captain. Then some caught his eye. "Who's that?"
He asked pointing at a kid with red hair.
"Ah that's Naruto he's the only one in his class that didn't pass. He only excels at shurikenjutsu."
"Hmm I need to test something."He said then disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

Dragon reappeared outside the academy as the children were departing. Looking around he saw Naruto talking to himself and doing wild hand motions. Shaking his head at the kids antics he moved to follow him as he left. Eventually leading to a normal looking apartment building. Watching the red head go inside he followed suit. He watched as the child walked up the stairs and down the hall.
Stopping at his door Naruto opened it and slipped inside. He walked around his apartment. His apartment was pretty bare being pretty small in size and everything being one room. His bed was to the right of the door, it had black sheets with red pillows. The kitchen was to the left. The kitchen being just a oven microwave, and sick with about foot feet of counter top with a dinning table right next to it. The rest of it was just the living room.
His entire apartment was clean. He liked it that way.
'Though if I become a ninja next time I could move into a bigger apartment. But would be harder to clean and maintain.Bu-' He's thoughts were cut short by a knock on his door. Suspicious as to why someone was knocking on his door, he opened it slowly. Only to be sent to the ground as someone barelled through the doorway.
They were wearing all black and had a mask over his face. The attacker pulled out a kunai and rushed him. Pulling out his own kunai Naruto blocked the kunai.
"Aww does the assassin want to kill Naruto? That's not very nice." Naruto said with a childish pout.
The assassin didn't respond instead jumping back while throwing down a smoke bomb.
"Yay! Naruto loves hide n seek!" Naruto said while throwing a kunai at an outline in the smoke. The attacker just deflected the kunai. Naruto rushes him with a kunai in both hands. The figure blocked both kunai then jumped back. He then spoke.
"Impressive for a failure."
"*sniffle* That was mean assassin-kun."
Deciding to not drag the fight out any longer the attacker rushed again but when Naruto went to stab the charging attacker his attack went right through him as the attacker shimmered out of existence. He then felt a sharp pain in his neck and his world went black.

Dragon was impressed. The kid was good if not a little odd. He wondered how Tenzo would react to him being on his squad. Meh if Tenzo kills the brat it's not his problem. Snapping himself out of his thoughts dragon put the brat on his back and headed towards Anbu headquarters.
He turned a lot of heads as he was walking through the hallways of the Anbu headquarters. Then again it's not every day you see your commander carrying a kid into the headquarters.
Stopping at an empty room dragon set the kid down inside. Asking another member to watch the kid while he talks with the Hokage.

Minato sighed as he recalled the talk he had with dragon about the newest Anbu recruit. He was surprised when dragon told him who he picked. Even more so when he remembered he didn't even pass the Genin Exams. Minato sighed and finished the last of his paperwork. He was going to take Mito out for ramen to celebrate her passing the Genin Exams. He could already feel his wallet getting lighter.
Annnnd that's a wrap. Thanks for reading and I'll see you next chapter. Ja ne-
