Author notes: This is my first story, I've never written any stories before, though I have had plenty of idea's and have read numerous stories in the past 6 years. Please give me constructive criticism.

Warnings: Very AU, strong, intelligent Naruto.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did I would have made many things different.

Chapter 1

It was night time in Konohagakure, the moon shining high against the Hokage Mountain and most of the citizens were fast asleep but one could find many ninja's out circling the village or going out to complete missions. If one looked close enough they could find a small child that looked to be around six year's old sitting on the fourth face on the mountain, staring at the full moon. His name was Naruto, and he was currently contemplating the training he has been doing since he had sworn he would earn the respect of the village populace. He asked his grandfather figure Hiruzen Sarutobi for basic training in the ninja arts, to which the old Kage assigned the ANBU guarding Naruto codename Dog who had shocking silver hair, to train him in the basics, so he was prepared for the ninja academy in a year. Naruto was told to meet Dog at training ground seven at six in the morning to start basic exercises, basic taijutsu, and to start learning basic knowledge. Naruto wanted to make his parents (though he had no idea who they were) proud of him, with that in mind he left to home for rest for the next day.

Dog was waiting for him when he arrived the next morning as Dog says "To start you are going to practice the basic chakra exercise of putting a leaf to your forehead and make it turn a hundred times clockwise that is to master this technique".

To which Naruto replies "Alright let's get to it". A few hours later find an exhausted and frustrated Naruto who had only managed to make the leaf turn six times "This is impossible" Naruto complains.

"Do not expect to master this training in a few hours with your reserves, this will help you master other chakra control techniques later on if you complete this one first" Dog intones.

It takes Naruto a month and a half too completely master the basic chakra control exercise "Finally I completed this exercise dattebayo" exclaims an excited Naruto. "Congratulation on completing the first exercise Naruto now we get to move onto basic knowledge and taijutsu, so we will meet up here tomorrow at six, see you then Naruto" Dog says before shunshin's away.

The next morning shows an alert Naruto doing warm up exercises while Dog instructs him on the taijutsu he is to learn, "OK Naruto what you are going to be learning is the basic taijutsu, created by the Nidaime Hokage to be used by academy students and to which can be manipulated into a personal style later on" Dog explains. "The skill set includes a variety of blocks, punches, and kicks. Today you will be learning the very basics, I would have you wear weights if you were a bit older but doing so now would only stunt your growth, so we will have to wait a bit on that." Dog says.

And so Naruto for 4 months practices the basics of the basic taijutsu until he masters the basics of the taijutsu. While also reading a few chapters of different books on history and tactics as well as a variety of literature's to increase his vocabulary, and Dog had earlier had a conversation with Naruto that he had need to eat more healthier than just ramen every day, so that he could get all the necessary nutrients he needed at his age

The remaining months were spent starting to learn the academy jutsu's that were necessary to graduate. Until finally Naruto was going for his first day of the academy for the next few years, and taking his first step towards earning everyone's respect, towards becoming Hokage.

So how was it, I am pretty sure it was not really good but not too bad as to make me not want to write another fanfiction ever again. This was just a practice fic, unless people want me to continue it but there are a lot of similar stories out there so. Please constructive criticism on what I did right and what I did wrong please.
