Author's Note: Please review and tell me ways to improve. Thanks for reading. I did this rewrite because I found a shit ton of mistakes and personality errors in the old one. This one's alot better. Review and tell me how much you liked or hated it.
I would like to thank Engineer4Ever and OmegaDelta. They really improved this fic. Parts of this chapter have been created by Engineer4Ever and belongs to him.
Training ground 7 was empty except for a single figure. He was a young blonde that looked about eight. He had three whisker marks on each of his cheeks and was rather muscular for his age. He was the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto was the pariah of Kohana. His very existence was hated and despised due to the Kyuubi being held within him.
Despite this, Naruto strived to be the best. He yearned recognition from the village and others as the greatest ninja to have ever lived and sought to become Hokage.
The Hokage was the leader of Konohagakure. They are generally acknowledged as the strongest in the village. There had only been four shinobi that became Hokage.
Despite his young age Naruto was smarter than most. He was exceptionally wary of others, especially due to the fact that there had been many that had tried to kill him previously. The only ones he trusted were his ANBU guard: Inu (pretty sure you guys know he's really Kakashi), the old man Hokage, and the owners of Ichiraku Ramen: Old man Teuchi and his daughter Ayame.
Naruto had begun basic training at a young age. He figured that since ninja did a lot of physical activity, he should build up his body. He had also snuck into the library at night into the civilian and genin section to read about what ninja's do. He had found out about how to access your chakra and how to control it. He had also found some basic jutsu such as 'Henge, Substitution, and Clone. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to go to any of the higher sections because there were chunin guards there.
Naruto had accessed his chakra and was trying to control it. He could currently do leaf sticking and tree walking. However he could not do water walking. He mostly worked on developing his body and increasing is already formidable stamina. As for his jutsu Naruto could do Henge and Substitution, but sadly the control needed for clone was beyond him as he already had low-Jonin chakra reserves at seven.
Naruto looked up, feeling something was going to change, for better or worse.
He shook that feeling off and decided to take a walk since he was finished with his workout.

"Yes! Sweet hallelujah!" A blonde haired girl in a yellow shirt and black shorts shouted as she fell to her knees and threw her arms in the air, "We have arrived in the promise land!"
"Yang, calm down." A younger girl with black hair and red streaks said with crossed arms as she wore a black shirt, shorts and a red cloak with a hood.
"But Ruby we're finally here after our long journey!"
"...Yang, we came here with a caravan." Ruby said as she thumbed towards said caravan, "In two days." she added
Yang huffed and stood up, "Fine, take the joy from me."
Ruby rolled her eyes, "Someone has to keep us on track here. You got the passports?" she asked her sister.
"Yeah yeah." Yang said with a wave of her hand and pulled out the passports and the two walked to the front gate.
Ruby and Yang had been sent to the Elemental Nations by their mother. She wanted them to go to the land she had grew up in and learned special techniques. Unfortunately their mother and father could not come with them, because they were being recalled to active duty as Hunters and Huntresses.
After talking to the gate guards, they entered their mother's old home.
"C'mon, let's go see where we are," Yang told Ruby cheerfully as she dragged her sister around.
They looked around in amazement as they walked.
"This place is sooo peaceful," said Yang looking around. "And a lot better than home, not too many buildings either."
Ruby nodded in agreement.
The land that they came from was filled with creatures of darkness called the Grim. Mankind had discovered a mysterious power called Dust to help them fight the Grim. Dust allowed them to push back the darkness and allow man to form a civilization. To help keep the peace of the world, humans created academies to help train Huntsmen and Huntresses. They were the ones that kept law and order, to make sure the Grim never returned.
As they walked they saw a young, whiskered blonde sitting alone under a tree. As adults passed by, they glared at him with disdain or outright ignored him.
"Hey let's go ask him where we are," Yang said pulling Ruby along.
"Yang, why is it that people are glaring at him?" Ruby asked curious.
"Eh, he probably pulled a prank or something," Yang said dismissively as Ruby trotted behind her.
"Heya, excuse me," Yang started off. At the sound of her voice the boy turned to face her and raised his eyebrow. "Hi my name is Yang and this is my sister Ruby."
"Naruto," was the only reply he gave.
At this Yang snickered. "What kind of name is fishcake?"
Naruto got a tick on his forehead. His name did not mean fishcake. It meant maelstrom dammit.
"Anyway, we're kinda new here and don't know where to go..." Yang trailed off, "We're looking for the Hokage's office. The gate guards gave us directions, but..."
"So pretty much, your lost," Naruto deadpanned.
"I prefer 'taking the scenic route.'" Yang said triumphantly
"Sure..." Naruto said, sighing as he got up. "Well right now you're at the park. See that tall tower in the middle. That's where the Hokage is. You might wanna ask him about what to do."
"What's a Hokage anyway?" Ruby asked curiously behind Yang.
Naruto sighed, this was going to take a long time.

Naruto tiredly made his way to the old man's office. Other than those girls talking to him, nothing new happened. After taking a short break at the park, he had gone back to train. Currently he was making his way through the village to old man Hokage's office.
'What were their names again? Oh yea, Yang and Ruby,' Naruto thought as he trudged along.
"Oye old man," Naruto said as he opened the door to the Sandaime's office. He saw the two girls that he had given directions to inside.
"Hey fishcake," said the blonde waving at him cheerfully.
He got another twitch mark on his forehead. "My name stands for maelstrom not fishcake," Naruto said irritated.
Their bickering was interrupted by a small chuckle from Sarutobi. The Sandaime, known to others as Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a wizened old man who had served as Hokage for years. After the Kyuubi incident, the Sandaime had taken care of Naruto.
"I see you have already met each other," said Sarutobi, humorously.
"Just saw her and gave her directions," Naruto replied curtly.
"I see. Anyhow they have just joined Kohana. I decided to send them to your apartment complex."
"Really?!" Naruto said excited. He then turned to Yang and Ruby. "Hey are you guys gonna become ninja's like me?" he asked
"Yep. The old guy told us all about it, sounds fun." Yang told him as Ruby gave a bit of a shy nod.
"Awesome," said Naruto.
The Sandaime stood up. "Naruto and I were about to go to dinner. You can join us if you wish."
"Alright lets go." Yang said.
"I am kinda hungry." Ruby stated as she rubbed her stomach.
"Very well." Sarutobi said as he stood up, "Let's go." he said with a smile as they left in a group, heading to a restaurant.

-Ichiraku Ramen-
"Oh hey Naruto, Hokage-sama. I see you brought some friends," Ayame said as she placed bowls of ramen and chopsticks in front of them.
"Itadakimasu," they said before beginning to eat.
"So Yang how old are you?" Naruto asked.
"You don't ask a lady her age," Yang said playfully.
Next to her Ruby said, "She's nine and I'm seven."
"Ruby," Yang protested.
"Nice to meet you guys," Naruto said.
"Likewise," Ruby said shyly.
"So you guys know anything about ninja fields?" asked the Sandaime as he ate.
"What do you mean by fields," asked Ruby.
"Ahh yes, I forgot to explain it to you. Well you see there are many different shinobi arts or fields. First there is Genjutsu or illusions, Taijutsu or hand to hand combat, and Ninjutsu or Ninja techniques. There are also many other categories like Kenjutsu which the use of swords in battle, Bukijutsu which is using any weapon, Medical ninjutsu and more." the Sandaime said.
"Anyhow, since we are all finished eating, Naruto would you escort them back to your complex. Here," Sarutobi said, tossing Ruby and Yang two keys. "Those are the keys to your room. Tomorrow morning around 10, please come to my office."
"Got it old man," said Naruto cheerfully.
"Very well, good night." With that the Sandaime vanished in a puff of smoke.
"C'mon lets go," Naruto said waving them along.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-The next day-
Yang yawned as she got up. She dragged herself to the sink to brush her teeth (The old man had thoughtfully stocked their apartments with clothes, toothbrushes, etc.) and proceeded to take a shower.
As she was getting ready, she heard a knock on the door. When she opened Ruby, was outside waiting for her.
"You're up earlier than usual," Ruby said, grinning. "I thought I might have had to wake you up."
"Be quite," Yang said with a smile. "Oh yea is Naruto up yet?"
"Yea, he said he was getting some breakfast," said Ruby.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto had come back a little later with food. They had chatted about things in the village before deciding to head out to the Hokage's office.
-Hokage's Office-
"Alright, since all of you are here, let's begin. The Sandaime then turned to Ruby and Yang. "I've filled out the paperwork you girls needed to join. There are placement tests to see what level you are. You two will be taking the test tomorrow. I'll drop by your apartment to take you. Naruto you are to start your first year. Elementary will begin in about a week."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They had taken the test. Ruby proved to be smart enough to get into the same grade as Naruto. Yang however was held back a year, due to her not knowing the material.
Anyhow back to the matter at hand.
'C'mon Ruby, you have to hang out with other people, instead of just me and Naruto," Yang tried to convince Ruby.
They had been in Kohana for roughly six months.
Yang didn't know most people, which was a surprise considering her personality.
Ruby was rather shy. She had no desire to meet people or go to places. She instead preferred to be reading books or novels.
Yang and Ruby had become fast friends with Naruto. They were his only friends in the school actually. For some reason, the other students never mingled with Naruto and were encouraged to do so by their parents.
Well all but one Hinata Hyuga who stalk...err, followed Naruto around. Turns out he had helped her from bullies once and had done this ever since.
When they asked Naruto he told them it was nothing new. He had always been ignored and given glares for some reason, ever since he was young. He didn't even know why.
He told them that when he had asked the Sandaime about it, he had been told it was human nature and fools who couldn't understand the difference between a seal and a kunai.
That's why Naruto had turned to pranks, so people would acknowledge his existence. However after meeting Yang and Ruby, he had stopped.
Currently, they were outside for lunch. Yang was desperately trying to convince Ruby to mingle with others instead of just Naruto and her.
"Why would I need to meet other people?" Ruby asked
"Because... it'll help you grow," Yang said.
"Hmph," Ruby said, folding her arms. "I don't need people to help me grow, I drink milk," she said confidently.
"Awww," Yang said hugging her. "You're so cute."
"Yang's right you know. When we're in the academy, there are going to be other students that we have to work with. Also when we become ninja, we go on teams so it would be a good idea to be friends with others." Naruto said
"No, you two would be on my team. That way I won't have to talk to people," said Ruby confidently.
Naruto sweat dropped at her reluctance to meet new people. "It doesn't work like that..."
"Fine," Ruby said sighing.
"Excellent," Yang said cheerfully clapping her hands. "Let's go," Yang said, dragging Ruby along.
Naruto followed behind them, shaking his head in exasperation at Yang's enthusiasm.
"Hey, Naruto. Who's that?" Yang asked as she pointed to a boy.
The said by had a dark blue shirt and shorts. On the black of his shirt there was a red and white fan. He seemed to be brooding about something.
"Oh him, he's Sauske Uchiha. I saw his brother, Itachi and mother around. They were some of the nicest people around. He was fun to be around and a cheerful kid. But then one day, his brother slaughtered his entire clan, leaving only him alive. Itachi fled and became a missing nin. Poor guy, he hasn't been the same. Now he's always brooding and training to become stronger to kill his brother." Naruto finished sadly.
Yang was already dragging Ruby up to Sauske.
"Helloooooo," Yang said cheerfully. "I believe we've never met. My name's Yang and this is my sister Ruby." From behind her, Ruby waved.
"Hi," Ruby said nervously.
Sauske merely glanced at them. "Hn," he said before going back to his brooding.
"What are you doing?" Yang hissed at her.
"I don't know, help me?" she hissed back.
"Sooo, what's your name," Yang asked, turning her attention back to Sauske.
"Sauske Uchiha," was all he said.
"How are you doing?" Yang asked.
She got no reply.
Yang turned around and walked away with Ruby following. "He's a lost cause," she declared as they walked away.
"I see that went well," Naruto said as he joined them.
"You could have helped me," Yang told Naruto.
Naruto snorted. "He hates my guts. Anyway forget about him. There are plenty of others that are here."
"Here," Naruto said pointing to a shy looking girl in a heavy jacket. She kept on sending glances at Naruto with a small blush. "That's Hinata Hyuga. She's extremely shy and seems to faint for some reason when I'm around her."
"Alright. C'mon Ruby, time to meet your new friend." With that Yang dragged Ruby along to meet Hinata, with Naruto following behind them.
As they got closer Hinata glared at them. 'Wonder what's her problem.' Yang wondered.
"Hi, Hinata. My names Yang and this is my sister Ruby." Yang said, introducing themselves.
Hinata kept on glaring. "Stay away from him," she whispered in a low voice. (Yandere Alert!)
"What?" asked Ruby confused.
Her glare got worse. If looks could kill, they would have spontaneously combusted from the sheer hate in them.
"Hey, Hinata," Naruto said interrupting them.
Hinata's personality did a 180. Her face immediately got red and began stuttering. "N-N-Naruto-kun," she squeaked out.
"Hey, you don't have a fever or anything, do you?" he asked concerned and placed a hand on her forehead. "Your face is burning red."
She squeaked and collapsed into a dead faint. They sweat dropped. 'One second, she was glaring at us and now she fainted.' Yang and Ruby thought.
"Weird girl," Naruto said before sighing. "Well I'll introduce you to other people."
Naruto led them to a young boy wearing a hoodie. He had two fang shaped tattoos on his cheeks and had a dog on top of his head. Near him was a lazy looking kid with pineapple shaped hair and a rather 'big-boned' kid.
"That guy with a dog is Kiba Inuzuka. He's rather brash and rough around the edges, but overall he's a good person. He also plays pranks with me sometimes.
"The lazy looking guy is Shikamaru Nara. He always sleeps in class and gets average grades. But either way he's really smart."
"The chubby guy is Choji Akimichi. There's one unspoken rule about him-never call him fat." Naruto whispered the last part to them. "I usually hang out with those guys. C'mon, I'll introduce you."
Naruto walked up to them. "Hey guys," he said waving.
"Hey 'Ruto," said Kiba waving back. "Who're those chicks with you?"
"This is Yang and this is Ruby," Naruto said, introducing them.
"Nice ta meetcha," Yang said grinning.
"Hi," Ruby said behind her cheerfully.
"Likewise," said Choji with a friendly smile.
Shikamaru gave a simple hello. "I haven't seen any of around?"
"We just got here a few months ago," Yang answered.
"Mom wanted us to learn ninja skills," Ruby added on.
"Oh so you wanna be ninja. We might be on the same team," Kiba said excitedly.
"Yea, we might," Ruby said.
"I'm just introducing them to everybody, since they don't know many people," Naruto said.
They were interrupted by the sound of screaming.
"What's going on?" asked Ruby, concerned.
"Ehh, it's Sauske's fangirls," Kiba said disgusted.
"Fangirls? Why would a guy like Sauske have fangirls? We just met him and he wasn't very nice," Yang asked confused.
"No idea. They see something in him. I think they like the idea of a 'dark and mysterious person who tragically lost his family. Troublesome," Shikamaru said, making air quotes.
Meanwhile they heard two girls arguing.
"He's mine, Ino-pig."
"Shut it, forehead girl."
Kiba grimaced. "Those two are his number one fans, Ino and Sakura. Their always arguing about their 'precious Sauske-kun'."
"Oh my," Ruby said, surprised.
"Yea. It makes it even worse that they wanna become ninja so they can follow and impress their 'Sauske-kun', Choji added.
"Oh yea, by the way, whose that?" asked Yang pointing to another boy.
He wore a gray jacket and black sunglasses. He was sitting by himself, observing bugs and insects.
"Oh him, he's Shino Aburame. Creepy guy and doesn't talk much. He likes bug's, which isn't much of a surprise, considering his clan."
"Clan's?" asked Ruby confused.
"Wow, you really aren't from around here are you," asked Shikamaru raising an eyebrow.
"Clans are basically families. We live together in the same compound with our cousins, brothers, aunts and everyone. Some clans, like us, are ninja clans with special techniques that only we can use. Our clans date back to the time of Clan wars, but we came to Kohana, when it was founded, Shodaime Hokage." Choji finished.
"Wow," Ruby said amazed. "So what kind of clan do you have Choji?"
"I come from the Akimichi clan. We specialize in jutsu that expands our body. The Inuzuka clan, like Kiba, uses ninken or ninja dogs to fight. Shikamaru's clan, the Nara clan, uses shadows." Choji added. "Shino's clan uses bugs to fight."
"What other clan's are there?" asked Yang curiously.
"Well there's the Hyuga clan that has a special doujutsu, the Byakugan. It lets them see in all directions. Sauske's clan, the Uchiha clan, is extinct except for him. But they also had a doujutsu - the Sharingan. It lets them copy ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu," Shikamaru replied.
Their eyes widened in awe. "Amazing."

Yang rolled her shoulder, "Come on Fishcake, give me a workout~" she teased as she got into her stance again.
Naruto grunted at her and got into a more sloppy stance that tried to mirror her, "Fine." he said with narrowed eyes.
Naruto ducked underneath Yang's jab and threw an uppercut. Yang flipped out of the way, kicking Naruto's chin as she did. This cause him to stumble backwards. Instantly Yang rushed at him, throwing a left hook at his head. Naruto moved his head out of the way, but wasn't able to dodge the roundhouse that followed.
Naruto was thrown to the side.
"I give," Naruto said tiredly. He held his hands up in surrender as he panted with exhaustion.
They had been sparing for about half an hour already.
Naruto, Ruby and Yang had begun training with each other.
Flashback
"Hey Naruto, why do you always go out for most of the day," asked Yang curiously.
"Huh, well I go out and train. I make sure that I get stronger," Naruto replied
"Why do you train?" asked a confused Yang.
"Cause when we're ninja we're gonna be doing a lot of fighting and stuff. So wouldn't it make sense to train already and be prepared?" said Naruto.
"You have a point," said Yang. "Mind if Ruby and I join you.
They began sparring with taijutsu only. Yang constantly won all the time in taijutsu since she had prior training, while Naruto had none. Yang had begun to teach Naruto, moves from kickboxing. Kickboxing is a group of martial arts based on kicking and punching, developed from Karate, Muay Thai and Western boxing.
Currently Yang and Naruto were sparring to improve their skills while Ruby was training her body to increase her strength.
Out of the three Yang was the strongest and Ruby was just a tad bit weaker than Naruto. However she made it up for her lacking of physical strength in her chakra control. She had the best control over all of them.
They also had begun training with weapons. Ruby had gotten interested in scythes and practiced with a wooden one, so to not injure herself. Naruto had gotten himself a bokken that was heavier than most. Yang decided that she preferred to have a custom made.
Yang had come up with the idea of making a pair of armguards. Inspired by her, Ruby had gotten the idea of building a Scythe Rifle for herself.
They had sent a letter home, and in a few weeks, they had gotten the parts. They had begun to try and make their weapons. Unfortunately they didn't know what else they needed, so it was trial and error.
For now they did intense physical training and sparring to improve their skills. They hadn't learned any new jutsu from the library, since the genin section was mostly filled with basics in taijutsu.
Hated it or liked it. Tell me what you think. How could I improve and what other mistakes did I make.
Thanks for reading.

Oh yea btw updates will be coming alot slower since school started
