Naruto Uzumaki watched the two scrolls in his hand. One was a jutsu scroll from the Uzumaki clan and the other, money for a 'B' rank mission which he was rewarded for stopping Mizuki.
He slowly got up and placed his Konoha headband on his nightstand. He needed to get some knew training equipment. His Kunai and Shiruken were rusty and his clothes were tattered.
He quickly pried up a loose floor board and took out a small chest. He opened the chest and took out its contents. He took out some money, some clothes and some coupons for Ichiraku ramen.
The clothes were for training after he went and buy what he need along with some new clothes because as Iruka said, 'Bright clothes are not good choices for ninja's'.
He donned the clothes that consisted of a black body suit aith bandage wrapping around the forearms and shins. It also had a hood with straps to tighten it and some pockets on the thighs.
He pocketed the scrolls, ramen coupons and money. He strapped his headband to his left upper arm and tightened it. He walked into the bathroom and looked at the mirror. He pulled the hood over his head and tightened the strap. His blonde hair and blue eyes now obscured by the shadow of the hood.
He quickly made three shadow clones to clean the room and exited his apartment. He looked out at the village and decided to jump onto his roof for a better view.
On his roof he could see the entire village of Konoha as it was an apartment building. He then decided if he had enough money left over he would by the penthouse of the building.
He smirked as he ran to the edge of the building and stopped. Everyone in the street watched him. Fearing that he was going to commit suicide. Not that they would care if they knew it was Naruto.
Immediately four Jonin was on him. He knew their faces from seeing them before. The silver haired male was Kakashi Hatake, one of the ANBU that was stationed to guard him when he was younger. Kurenai Yuhi, the Genjutsu mistress of Konoha, he had met her when he was younger as she was in the park with the Hyuuga Heiress. Asuma Sarutobi, he had met him when he was at the Hokage's office talking to the Old Man. And lastly, Maito Gai, he had met Gai while he had been running laps.
"Shinobi-san, please do not jump", Kakashi said trying to prevent Naruto from committing suicide.
"YOSH, YOUR YOUTHFUL FLAMES WILL SURELY BE DIMINISHED TO NOTHINGNESS", Gai said his voice filled with youth.
"Not to mention that my father would complain about the paperwork", Asuma added his two cents making everyone who heard him sweat drop.
"Jumping is not such a good choice, I am a counsellor, I can help you", Kurenai said causing Naruto to chuckle.
"Not like most of the village would care anyway", Naruto said his voice hoarse so they wouldn't know who it was.
"Just don't jump, suicide is not the only way out", Kurenai pleaded in a whisper.
"I would like for all of you to do something for me, ask the village if they would like to see me jump to my death", Naruto said his voice still unrecognizable.
They all looked at each other and Kakashi stepped forward.
"This man here would like to know if you would like him to jump", Kakashi called out making everyone here him.
They were collective shouts of 'No' and 'No way' and some of the girls started ogling him because he was like Sasuke. Dark and cold.
"Now watch this", Naruto whispered as he took off his hood to show a full head of blonde hair, cold blue eyes and whisker marks on his face.
People gasped and some started shouting 'Jump' causing the four Jonin to scowl.
"Naruto, jumping isn't going to solve anything", Kakashi pleaded not wanting to watch his sensei's son commit suicide before him.
Naruto simply chuckled and drew that hood back up.
"I am going to jump", he said and looks of horror crossed their faces and smirks appeared on the villagers faces. "But, not to my death", he said as he leaned over the edge and was sent barreling towards the ground at high speed.
Just before he smashed into blood and guts be righted himself landing in a crouched position. He slowly stood up and some of the girls were still fantasizing only to be scolded by their parents.
People started to 'boo' as he was not dead.
"Nice to know I'm loved", he muttered sarcastically as he turned to his right and began walking in the direction of the library.
"So that's what he was trying to do", Asuma observed as he watched the civilian population scowl and glare in Naruto's direction.
"Should we report this to Hokage-sama?", Kurenai asked.
"Kurenai, what do you think of Naruto?", Kakashi asked.
"He may be the Kyuubi Jinchuriki but he is still a young boy, sometimes I feel ashamed to be in a village that treats a child like that", she said as she looked in the direction of the way Naruto went.
"Well, let's head to the tower for the Jonin meeting", they said jumping away.
Naruto strolled through Konoha and got looks of curiosity from the civilians as this part of the village didn't know of his little stunt. He chuckled as he saw Sasuke walking down the road his head held high displaying his headband for the world to see.
'Maybe I'll keep this as my new ninja outfit but make a few battle field necessary modification', Naruto thought as he passed Sasuke and continued walking. But…Sasuke stopped and looked back at him.
"Hey you?", Sasuke called causing everyone to stop and stare. Girls ogling as the mystery boy and the last Uchiha faced off.
Naruto turned to Sasuke eyes still shadowed by his hood. "Me?".
"I've never seen you before in this village and you have a Konoha headband, who are you?", Sasuke asked.
"A ninja of Konoha", Naruto replied adding Chakra to his voice to sound unfamiliar at it worked shocking Naruto himself though he didn't show it.
"Answer me when I talk to you, I want your name", Sasuke spat angrily.
"Are you commanding me?", Naruto asked.
"Do you know I am?", Sasuke asked.
"An arrogant snot nosed brat who tries to get everything by using his place as Konoha's last Uchiha and gets special treatment just for having to special little eyes, do tell me if I'm correct", Naruto mocked causing some of the male populace to chuckle and the fan girls to glare.
Sasuke took out a Kunai and threw it at Naruto. Not having any Kunai Naruto glanced around him and saw a a crowd so ducking was definitely out of the option.
He simply raised his arm taking the Kunai in his arm. Everyone around him gasped.
"Attacking fellow ninja is against Konoha's rules unless it is for a spar to which both parties have agreed", Naruto told him as he threw the Kunai on the ground and turned around.
"Why didn't you dodge?", Sasuke asked everyone's question.
"Do you not see how many people are around here, if I ducked, side stepped or even jumped it would be a waste as a civilian could have been hit", Naruto said walking away.
"At least let me see your face", Sasuke said his voice still commanding.
Naruto looked back to him over his shoulder.
"If you ask nicely", Naruto said.
"P-P-P-Please let me we your face", Sasuke stuttered out making Naruto chuckle and took of his hood. Everyone went bug eyed.
Whispers were passed around. Such as; 'He saved a civilian from a Kunai' and 'I never would have thought he would take a Kunai for a civilian'.
"Now that you know who I am…Ja Ne", Naruto said jumping onto a nearby roof then began dashing towards the library leaving speechless civilians and ninja alike.
'Looks like the Dobe is trying to take his training seriously and when did he pass the exam', Sasuke thought with a scowl and walked away.
In the Jonin meeting everyone was speechless as they watched through the crystal ball at what Naruto did that was being projected via Chakra. They Hokage had asked what Genin they wanted and he showed what said Genin was up to. And they were currently on Naruto.
"I can't believe he did that…for civilians", Kakashi bellowed.
"Me either, just this morning they were encouraging him to jump off his apartment building", Asuma said shocked.
"Well, I have decided what teams shall be allowed and what needs to be changed", Hiruzen said arms folded causing an end to the previous conversation.
"Teams one through six are allowed but, team seven, eight and ten shall be changed", Hiruzen said.
"To what Hokage-sama?", Kakashi asked hoping Naruto wouldn't be taken off of his team.
"Team seven will be, Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuuga and Chouji Akimichi, Kakashi will be their sensei", he said.
"What?", was the collective shout of Kakashi and Kurenai.
"Team right will be, Kiba Inuzuka, Sakura Haruno and Shikamaru Nara, Kurenai Yuhi will take charge of this team", he said earning another 'what' from the two previously named.
"Team ten will be Naruto Uzumaki, Ino Yamanaka and Shino Aburame, Asuma will be their sensei", he finished.
"Why is that Hokage-sama?", Kakashi asked.
"Kakashi, only you can train Sasuke in the Sharingan, Hinata is very shy and I am sure you can bring her out of her shell and as for Chouji he can learn a lot from you as you have had the most encounters with Akimichi's", he said and Kakahsi sighed but nodded.
"Kurenai, Kiba needs someone to make him more calm, Sakura has little Chakra making her have great control and will be ideal for Genjutsu and Shikamaru only listens to his mum and as a woman you can straighten out his laziness", he explained and Kurenai nodded.
"Asuma, Naruto is an Uzumaki giving him either the affinity for either water or wind and you are the only ninja that has the affinity for wind, Ino needs someone to calm her down from being so loud and bossy and Shino can learn to be a little more assertive and not always quiet", Hiruzen said and Asuma nodded.
"Hai Hokage-sama", he said.
"Alright, pick them up from the academy in a month", Hiruzen said as he dismissed them.
Naruto exited the library with six books. 'Fuinjutsu For Idiots', 'How To Throw Weapons', 'Kenjutsu Basics', Chakra Control Basics', 'Advanced Chakra Control' and 'Academics For Retards'.
He grumbled as he had nowhere to store them. Then the idea hit him. He made some Shadow Clones and had them hold the books. He then told them to carry it to a training ground and wait for him.
The nodded and dashed away leaving Naruto to head in the direction of Konoha's most famous Ninja Store.
He was walking when he stopped dead in his tracks. His room was clean…but…how did he know this. Then it hit him like two tons of bricks. He laughed maniacally.
Appearently what Shadow Clones learn you receive their feedback. He quickly dashed off running instead of walking.
"Morning", he said hood obstructing his features.
"Good morning", a voice replied making him pull back the hoodie, he knew this voice, it was Tenten.
He didn't have trouble with her but with her uncle who works sometimes.
"Hey Tenten".
"Hey Naruto, what would you like?", Tenten asked.
"A special order, I want one thousand six blades Shiruken in the color silver, one thousand Kunai that are two inches longer than the normal ones also in silver, three dozen Sealing scrolls, some Chakra influenced weights, paper, smoke and flash bombs, some Chakra wire and some Affinity Paper", he asked remembering a conversation he had with the Sandaime about being a ninja resulting in Hiruzen telling the boy about affinities.
"Sure thing, that would be 60,000 Ryu", she said. "But the Kunai and Shiruken will be ready in three days…what's with the special Kunai and Shiruken anyway?", she asked. She told him three days because she knew her father was a king when it came to blacksmithing weapons.
Naruto handed her the fixed amount and chuckled, "Just trying something new, the Yondaime had special Kunai and he's my hero so I'm going to trying something a little the same but different at the same time", he answered.
"Okay, anything else?", she asked.
"I'll pass for some new clothes in three weeks time", he said as he pocketed the scroll with his stuff and left.
Tenten chuckled then went to tell her father; the blacksmith what Naruto wanted.
Later that evening Naruto lay panting from the feedback of his clones. He had read the Fuinjutsu book first then learnt to copy items into scrolls, made a lot of scrolls with the information from the books and had a clone return the books.
That's when he leaned back and noticed that he had yet to open the the Uzumaki scroll and had only read and researched.
He was about to open it when he sensed dozens of Chakra signatures. He recognized Sasuke's, Ino's, Sakura's and other fan girls own but how he did it he didn't know.
"Come on out", he called and heard shrieks. Soon afterwards all of them came out forming a circle around Naruto and Sasuke.
"Teme, the what do you want?", Naruto asked.
"Just was watching you pant like a dog, I've only been their for about five minutes and only saw you", Sasuke said and Naruto tk inwardly sighed in relief glad that Sasuke didn't see his training method.
"Well, I'm leaving", Naruto said as he went over to his books and sealed them into a scroll and pocketed it.
"Wait! Let me see those books", Sasuk ordered.
"No", Naruto said crossing his arms as he pulled his hood on.
Sakura then shouted, "NARUTO-BAKA, OBEY SASUKE-KUN". Some fan girls nodded in agreement while some covered their ears.
"Shut up Forehead", Naruto said causing everyone except Sasuke and Sakura to burst into laughter and Ino walk up to Naruto.
"Good one Naruto", she said as he placed her hand on his shoulder only to have him flick it off making her looked at him oddly.
"To tell you the truth Ino-chan, I dont having anything against you but against your kind", Naruto explained.
"My kind?", she asked.
"Yes, I don't like fan girls, they have Kunoichi a bad name and don't train properly but simply try to keep their figure and looks up to shape, that is wrong", he said walking away leaving Ino with something to think about.
"Naruto-Baka, why did you insult me, I'm the girl you love!?", Sakura screeched.
He looked at her over his shoulder, "Your annoying", he spat walking further.
"I though you loved me and would never hurt me…you just insulted me like the Pig", she screamed.
"To be honest Sakura-san, I don't know what love is anymore", he said jumping away.
How was it? Good?
