you guys like it I probably will! :D
I don't own Naruto! ):
(Narrator's POV)
Konoha was slowly stirring from a peaceful slumber as the sun just peeked up from behind the Hokage Monument. Leaves danced across the sky, their brilliant shape caught by the sun. It was sheer beauty. The faces of the past Hokages were glowing gold from the sun, bringing out every detail upon their rocky faces. The Hokages in all their glory.
The Shodai Hokage, Senju Hashirama, the co-founder of Konohagakure no Sato along with Uchiha Madara, looked proudly over his village. Well as proud at a stone face could possibly look.
The Nidaime Hokage, Senju Tobirama, brother of the Shodai Hokage, looked equally as proud.
The Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the current Hokage of Konoha just looked calm and peaceful.
Next was the Yondaime Hokage. The great hero and savoir of Konoha. He had died saving the village from the Kyuubi no Yoko, the strongest of all the tailed beasts. Also known as Konoha's Yellow Flash, he sealed the Kyuubi inside a newborn child, known as Uzumaki Naruto, hoping he would be regarded as a hero for keeping the demon at bay. Of course this didn't happen, the villagers thought of Naruto as the demon fox and had tried to kill him despite what the Sandaime Hokage said. They hated Naruto with Passion.
Now this is were our story begins.
(Naruto's POV)
"No! Please! I didn't do anything! I didn't kill your family, I'm only 12!" cried a young blonde haired boy with dull, frightened cerulean blue eyes. He was trapped at the end of an alley shaking in fear.
"Demon! Don't make excuses, we have no sympathy for the likes of you!" the man screamed raising a hand and smacking the poor shaking boy. The man's eyes were furious, and he was letting out a huge amount of killer intent. The boy recognized him as his academy teacher, Umino Iruka.
"You attacked the village and killed the Yondaime Hokage! You Monster! We are going to finish what the Yondaime started!" the person yelled. The blonde saw it was the Old Man Hokage.
The boy just stared. The two people who actually cared about him were calling him a demon and a monster. He couldn't believe it. They told him he killed the Yondaime. That'd he killed his hero, the person he is trying so hard to surpass. "No, I swear I didn't do it! I didn't kill them!" he just cried out, letting his tears fall freely.
The two men just stared at him, hatred in their eyes. They slowly moved in, ready to finish what the Yondaime started.
(Narrator's POV)
"NOO!" screamed Naruto as he woke up from his horrible nightmare. He couldn't believe that the only people who cared about him would say that. Calling him a monster, demon and such. "It was just a dream. It's not going to actually happen." he thought, trying to reassure himself. He looked at his clock. It read 7:50am. "No! I'm going to be late for the exam!" he yelled.
The Jinchūriki jumped out of bed and ran to his closet, and quickly dressed into his orange and blue jumpsuit, grabbed his beloved green goggles and ran out of his small apartment at full speed. He ran as fast as he could and got to the academy just as Iruka-sensei came in. He gave a big sigh of relief and went to sit down next to Sasuke. "Hey, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said trying to make him mad. Before Sasuke could reply a certain pink-haired girl barged over.
"HEY! Naruto-baka! I was going to sit there!" yelled a pink headed girl his age. She glared at him. "Sasuke wants me to sit there, now MOVE!" she yelled punching him in the face and tossing him out of her way. "Hey, Sasuke." she said dreamily. Sasuke just sighed, and looked away annoyed.
Naruto got up and was about to protest that he was there first but sighed when another blonde came over with a furious look on her face. Naruto just decided to move and sit beside Shikamaru, because the Fourth Shinobi War was about to break out.
"FOREHEAD!" yelled the blonde, "I'm sitting next to Sasuke!" Ino held a fist up threatenly. The pink haired girl turned around. "INO-PIG!" she screamed, "Sasuke is mine!" Sakura held up her fist as well.
Iruka-sensei just sighed and looked at them sternly. "Girls!" he yelled, "This is not a battlefield; now take your seats so we can begin the exam!" Both girls growled at each other and reluctantly sat down. Iruka looked at his class. "Today is finally the Genin exam!" he said, "First we will begin with the written test, then move on to taijutsu, throwing shuriken, and finally to pass, you need to perform a Bunshin. Now we'll begin!"
Naruto grumbled as he was doing his written exam, getting more then half of the questions right. Soon, the other students started one by one going into the separate room to do the other part of their exam. Pretty much all of them came out with forehead protectors. Naruto was panicking, his taijutsu wasn't as good as it could be and him throwing shuriken usually ended up in them almost hitting Iruka-sensei, and of course the bunshin was his worst jutsu, he can't possibly pass now! He sighed.
When it was his turn he walked into the room grinning like an idiot. He stood before his two sensei's. Iruka looked at Naruto and sighed. "Now Naruto, you will do basic taijutsu again Muzuki-sensei. Ready? Go."
Naruto charged up to Muzuki and threw a punch which was easily caught and he was sent flying back from a punch in the stomach. Naruto coughed slightly and got back up. He ran forward again and went to aim a punch but it got caught again. This time though, Naruto was ready and he twisted around to kick him. Mizuki caught that, but with his hands now full, he was stuck. Naruto went to throw another punch but just barely missed when Mizuki let go and jumped back quickly.
"Not bad, Naruto!" he said, "I think that's enough, Iruka." Mizuki-sensei said.
Iruka-sensei nodded.
"Now Naruto. Throw 5 shuriken at the same time and get at least 3 in the bullseye." Iruka-sensei said.
Naruto held his shuriken then threw them. 2 of them hit the bullseye, one hit just outside of it, one missed the target completely and the last one just missed Iruka. Naruto laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "S-sorry, Iruka-sensei"
Iruka sighed. "You were close, Naruto. Now you have to perform the Bunshin no Jutsu, and make at least 2 clones to pass." he said. Naruto nodded and used his fingers to make the sign and started to use chakra. His chakra was going out of control "Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto said. There was a 'poof' and his bunshin poofed into existance it looked very sick and dead. Naruto just pouted. "There!" he said.
Iruka just started at the sad excuse of a bunshin and sighed.. "Naruto, I'm sorry, but I cannot pass you with that." Iruka said. Naruto protested. "But I made a clone!" He crossed his arms in front of him.
Mizuki looked at Iruka. "Oh come on, Iruka. He technically did make a clone, and his taijustu wasn't too bad. His shurikens were acceptable." he pointed out. Iruka looked at his friend. "I'm sorry, Mizuki. I can't let Naruto pass. The other students created at least two Bushins. Naruto made one that looks very dead." he explained. Iruka looked at Naruto. "Now, Naruto don't be sad. You'll get it." he said looking at the disappointed face on his student. "How 'bout I take you out for ramen later?" he asked knowing Naruto would never say no to ramen. Naruto's spirits lifted and he jumped up. "Okay, Iruka-sensei!" he yelled happily. Naruto got up and ran out of the classroom.
Naruto sat on his all too familiar swing. He watched the other kids with their parents. They were congratulating their children and telling them they did well. Naruto just stared at them. He wished he had parents, he wish they didn't die and leave him all alone. His childhood was very rough. He noticed some of them were looking his way and whispering. Naruto looked away.
He was about to leave when Mizuki walked up to him smiling. "Hey, Naruto!" he called, walking up to Naruto.
Naruto looked at him. "Hey, Mizuki-sensei." he muttered. Mizuki grinned at him. "Hey, I have something to tell you. You can still pass the genin exam!" he said quietly to him.
Naruto's face brightened, "Really!" he exclaimed.
Mizuki nodded. "What you have to do it steal the scroll of sealing and learn one jutsu from it and you can become a genin!" he explained, smiling. He told him where to find it and where to go once he got it. He also told him not to get caught. Naruto grinned "Okay, Mizuki-sensei I'll do it! Believe it!" he shouted happily. Mizuki nodded and turned around grinning somewhat evilly. Two birds with one stone, this was going to be fun.
This chapter is kinda boring, and short. The next one will probably be better. Again, Read and review! :D
