Hello there humans, I presume…

Summary: Naruto, after having defeated Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is sent back in time to a few weeks before his genin test. He is not happy, at all.

Warning: Mature. No lemon planned, yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or make any money from this story. Funny disclaimers are planned, don't worry…


So there he was, looking at his face in the mirror, everything was fine except for the small problem that he was way to young.

"Sooooo…." He said to the mirror, expecting a response. "What is going on here..?".

It took him a full 10 minutes to comprehend that he was in his younger body, academy days if he had to guess. "He Kurama, do you know wat is going on?" he said out load.

'We are in the past stupid.' His only response was. "Yea I figured that out, o wise one" he quipped back, not really feeling like being ridiculed by his occupant.

"I mean why are we here?" 'That I do not know, o small one.'

"Great so I have to figure it out my own." he said while throwing his hands in the air.

Having had enough of the small, messy and dark apartment he was standing in he jumped out the window and onto the street.

"Well it appears it's night and this is my old apartment." Almost feeling the response he knew would come he just sighted. "Just shut it, Kurama."

"…"

'It appears you are in a bad mood, o small one.' Stop calling me small dammit, he almost shouted into the night. "I.. just… leave me alone for now oke?" All he got in return was silence.

Walking down the street he picked up a new paper of the ground. "Hmm, It appears that it is around 2 weeks before graduation, I can work with that."

The next couple of hours until the sun would rise he spend walking around. 'This really is different than I remember. Well I guess getting destroyed over and over doesn't help…' He laughed at his own joke, a dry, humorless laugh.

Daylight started to creep over the mountains as he began walking to the academy. 'Might as well see my old friends.' He thought to himself. A small tear dropping to the ground.

Flashback

It was dark and gloomy as one person stood before the memorial stone. "I am sorry, Hinata, Sakura, I should have been able to protect you."

Here lay the rookie nine, heroes of Konoha.

Hinata Hyuga

Sakura Haruno

Sasuke Uchiha

Kiba inuzuka

Ino Yamanaka

Shino aburame

choji akimichi

shikamaru nara

He stood there as he looked at the names of his fellow rookie nine, now all death.

When he defeated Madara, as one final act of vengeance, he destroyed Konoha and all its members. He only heard about it when he returned after defeating Kaguya. He spend hours, sometimes days at the memorial stone. He finally understood how Kakashi felt when he came here. He wished he didn't.

Ignorance is bliss.

Flashback end


He arrived at the academy a few hours before it was time for class. He just sat down at his old swing.

After what seemed like a eternity, they other students came walking in, not so much giving him a passing glaze as they walked by him.

'I almost forgot this is how they treated me.' He thought, almost bitterly.

When he heard the bell ring he got up and walked inside. He sat down at the back of class without saying a word.

"What's the matter baka, lost your voice?" Sakura's high pitched voice almost made his ears bleed.

"Yea, do you finally realize that you can never be hokage?" Ino joined in, making him wish he was deaf.

He just stared at them in silence, a cold hard mask on his face. But he couldn't completely mask the sorrow in his eyes, luckily the two girls where distracted as a certain Uchiha walked in.

"O hey Sasuke-kun, do you want to sit next to me?" One of the two said, probably Ino, but he wasn't paying any attention.

"No, Sasuke-kun wants to sit next to me, Ino pig!" The other shouted at near ear deafening volume.

The entire class just tried to ignore them the best they could. Well the boys did, the girls where mostly looking at their favorite Uchiha with hearts in their eyes.

"Everyone sit down and shut up!" Iruka shouted at the class as he walked in. 'Huh, Naruto must now be here yet, I didn't hear him.' He thought to himself.

Iruka then began calling names to check who was present.

"Naruto Uzumaki!" He said, a bit harder than normal.

"…"

Iruka's eyes scanned the class room and say Naruto sitting in the back of the class, dead silent. 'Must be sick or something.' He mused to himself.

He finished calling names and began a boring lecture on the five nation and there Ninja villages.

"What are the 5 ninja villages and there kage?" He asked to no one in particular.

"Konagagakure (hidden leaf village), with as kage Hiruzen sarutobi."

"Sunagakura (hidden sand village), with as kage Rasa."

"Kirigakure (hidden mist village), with as kage Yahura."

"Kumogakure (hidden could village), with as kage A."

"Iwagakure (hidden stone village), with as kage Onoki."

Naruto droned out, not really thinking and lost in though.

"…"

The class was dead silent and Iruka was standing there with his jaw on the floor.

"That is correct… Naruto." He said after picked his jaw from the ground. "It appears you payed attention, somehow." 'That's a first.' He thought to himself.

"Anyway…" And he went on with his lecture, the class quickly falling back to sleep.

'Oh, right, I am still dead last and braindead to these people.' Naruto though.

While he looked bored and uninterested, he was actually deep in though when that question was asked. He just answered without thinking, and just barely stopping himself from saying the kage of his time.

'I need to see what I can do with this body, and I know everything Iruka is saying anyway.' He mused.

"Iruka-sensei, can I go to the bathroom?" He asked, interrupting the lecture.

"Fine fine, whatever." Waved him off.

Naruto got up and went to the toilet, when he arrived he made a kage bunshin.

"Go back to class and stay there, don't be too smart." He told his clone. Who simply nodded and went back to class.

Meanwhile Naruto stalked out of the bathroom and went to the roof. Once there he jumped off and went to a probably empty training ground.

At training ground 43, right next to the forest of death, he made about 20 clones.

"First 4, go to ninjutsu. Next 4, go do taijutsu. Next 4, go do genjutsu. Next 4, go do fuinjutsu, and the last 4 go do kenjutsu." He told his clones. The first three groups got to work, the last two however.

"Boss, we don't have paper or ink to do fuinjutsu."

"Yea, and we don't have swords boss."

"Fine, go do chakra control and kata then." He told them, waving them off.

Meanwhile the original went to do strength exercises as his clones couldn't do that for him.

About 2 hours later he got a good idea what his strength level was at, and it was a far cry from what it used to be.

"I need to relearn almost all my ninjutsu, and while I know what to do with taijutsu my body just doesn't agree with me. Also my genjutsu is still terrible, but that's nothing new. I need to test fuinjutsu and kenjutsu later, my chakra control is not as bad as it was though, so that's a plus. My katas will become better with a little practice." He said outload, to no one, as he was all alone.

He spend the rest of the day practicing his skills and getting them ever so slightly back to the way they were.

When he felt his clone dispel he knew that class was done and quickly went through the memories of the day, now even more happy that he skip them.

"Might as well get some lunch, forward to Ichiraku!" He said. Dispelling his clones as he went back to the village.

10 minutes later he sat down at his favorite ramen stand and one of the only places that would even sell to him.

"Hey Naruto, how was your day?" Ayame asked, looking at the small boy with a smile on her face.

"Not bad, boring lecture though." He smiled, even now this place was always the same. Home.

"I'll go get you your favorite."

"Thanks, you're the best." He said, now also with stars in his eyes.

5 min later Naruto was munching down an extra-large bowl of ramen. When he was done he threw the last of his money on the counter, not even half of what his meal cost.

"Sorry nee-san, that's all the money I have." He said, looking down, not wanting his big sis to see the shame in his eyes.

"I will pay you back tomorrow, I promise." He was almost pleading now and it broke her heart a little.

"That's fine Naruto, pay me back when you can." She said with a smile on her face and waved it off.

"You the best nee-san!" he shouted as he disappeared.


The next day he arrive at training ground 43 and made 1000 clones. He made 5 groups of 200 and set them to work. This time remember to bring a katana, nothing fancy but in good condition. Its not like the guy he stole this from used it anyway.

He robbed quite a few of the more fanatic fox haters and made quite a lot of money, mostly buying fuinjutsu supplies with them.

At the 4th day of his training he applied a resistance seal on his body, making his strength and endurance training much faster and more efficient.

That is how he spend the rest of his week, training and relearning his skills.

With one week left before the genin tests he made his way into the forest of death. People where beginning to get curious what made the sounds at ground 43.

He jumped the fence and made his way to a clearing he knew, arriving there he set up a basecamp. This is where he spend the rest of the week, sending a clone to keep up appearances at class and his apartment.

He made a thousand clones again and but this time he made ten groups. The first five began working on ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, kenjutsu and fuijjutsu. Two more groups he sent doing kata's and chakra control.

The last three groups he sent to patrol the area, killing whatever they could and bringing whatever they found valuable enough back to camp where it was sealed for later use.

His last day of training was here as tomorrow are his genin exams. He spend it relaxing and mediating, trying to find some peace and stability in his mind.

He also went over everything his patrol had collected. Most of it where fur and meat, as well as some shuriken and kunai that where left behind. He sent a clone under an henge into town to sell what he didn't need, as well as buying supplies and some thing you can't get from the wild.

He woke up in his tent on the morning of the genin exam feeling slightly nervous, he had a plan, but was it going to work?


I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of "Here we go again, great…".

I have a lot of thing planned for the next few chap and they are a bit dark. Naruto is not the happy kid he used to be, the dead of all of his friend say to that. I will go deeper into his depression and state of mind later.

Leave a reviews if you have any question or tips, good or bad.

That's all, good by for now.
