Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto and if I did the world would end.
HellRat: Well, here it is, the first rewrite ofter the new creation of my stories, I hope everyone approves. Sorry the chapter is a bit weird, it is a starting chapter and I'm not awesome this those, I also suck at fight scenes.
Chapter 1
Chapter one
In a small part of the forest just outside the leaf village was a large house standing alone with a garden and a training ground out back, voices were heard from the training ground, one tired, one amused.
"67. 68. 69." Naruto spoke as he pushed himself up, he was in the position for push ups, a pot of boiling water under him and a young twelve year old figure on his back. The figure had black braided hair reaching mid back, pale skin, he wore a blue tank top with a long sleeved fishnet shirt under it, long black pants, and none traditional boots, over his eyes was a leaf village forehead protector, from what anyone could see of his face this figure seemed almost female.
Naruto struggled to push himself up again taking a deep breath as he felt the heat of the water near him. "Come on Naruto, you can do it, your more then half way done," The figure said with a sigh.
"Easy for you to say... you get to just sit there and watch." Naruto struggled to say as he counted 73 in his head.
"Well next time you can sit on my back." The young nin offered with a yawn, his head going up to the sun os he did so. "Ne, Naruto, my house faces north right?"
Confused by the question Naruto stopped for a moment before continuing. "Yeah."
"Oh shit! We're going to be late!" He jumped off Naruto's back and walked to the house, Naruto, not expected the lose of weight, lost balance and fell over causing the hot water to plash him.
"OW!" He screeched. "Yue!" He looked over at the other male as he walked away.
"Looks like you need to change, I'll meet you there!" With that said the boy named Yue disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"HEY!"

Naruto now wearing a dry shirt walked into the class room filled with genins and scanned for Yue who sat behind Sakura, grinning the blond walked over to the pink haired girl. "I Sakura-Chan," He said cheerfully.
"Go away Naruto." She growled. Feeling slightly hurt, Naruto took his seat next to Yue.
"I thought you said you would talk to Sakura," Naruto stared forward as he spoke.
"I did, She seemed to have been dazed the whole time though, I doubt anything registered," Yue said as his head faced the girl, his eyes seeing the pink light around her even through the forehead protector, an invisible light to those who weren't looking.
"Do you really need to show me up like that? Next time transform into someone else or something." Naruto suggested with a grin. He could only imagine how funny it would be to see the raven turn into Ino.
"It isn't my fault these girls seem attracted to the quiet type. Its actually very annoying when you don't want to talk." Naruto playfully hit the guy in the shoulder.
"Sure Yue, You know you love the attention." The a grin they both went silent when Iruka entered the room with a blue light around him.
"Alright, welcome to genin level. As new nins you will each be assigned to a four man team except for one team because of the odd number of genin. Each team will have three or four of you in it and one Jounin instructor. I'll begin announcing teams." Yue no longer paid any mind to Iruka's words. He waited for his name to be called so he would know who there instructor was, He already knew what team he would be on. "Team seven; Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Kai Yue. Your instructor will be Hatake Kakashi."
'Oh great!' Yue mentally groaned, He had heard many things about the copy nin, Some of these things were great and likely true, But the things he heard included being late, laziness, and perverseness, yes this Hatake Kakashi would not be easy to work with.
"Ne Yue we're on the same team! And with Sakura too, The only bad news is that Sasuke is on the team!" Naruto said happily with all his energy.
"I'm sure Sasuke will not be that bad to work with." Naruto looked at Yue as if anoter head had grown on his shoulder.
"Is your blind fold on to tight?" Yue chuckled at Naruto, That was one sentence Naruto used often around Yue. "Or are you becoming a Sasuke fan girl!" Naruto gasped as if the most horrid thing just happened. "...Or boy… Whatever!" Yue rolled his unseen eyes and smirked.
(Some time later)
"Where is he!" Naruto yelled as he paced back and forth in the now almost empty room. Everyone had been picked up by there instructor except for team seven.
"Calm down Naruto." Yue said, his face resting in his arms on the desk, Sasuke was just sitting on a random chair with a light gray light around him and Sakura was doing the same.
"I will not!" Naruto froze when he turned to the door and it started to open as a baby blue aura entered the room. (A.N. Note only Yue can see these lights and stuff. You'll find out why later.) Yue lifted an arm from under his head and quickly threw a ball at the door, The man who walked in caught it inches from his nose. Kakashi looked at Yue with interest, he hadn't even looked up to aim.
"Not good enough." Kakashi said. Yue sat up moving his hands behind his head, his blindfold now visible to Kakashi who showed no shock.
"It would seem so, I suppose this round goes to you Sensei." Yue said the word almost mockingly, his voice sarcastic with ever word. Interested Kakashi looked to the ball in his hand just as it started to gloe a bright red. The ball exploded in his hand the other three genin jumping in surprise.
The smoke cleared and Kakashi was a black color his hair sticking back. "Well that wasn't a very good first impression. Why don't you meet me on the roof and we'll talk." With that Kakashi disappeared.
"Yue, how could you do that to Sensei!?" Sakura shouted at the boy, though on the inside she bounced with joy. Yue ignored her with a smirk as he walked over to the window.
"Does it matter? That was great! Why didn't I think of it?" Naruto said trying not to laugh. He wasn't really complaining, in fact he was happy he was rubbing off on Yue.
"That's what he gets for being late, Plus he should learn this lessen sooner rather then later." Yue smirked at the other three before jumping out the window.
Yue made it to the roof first, not that big a shock sense he skipped the stairs. He found Kakashi sitting down reading an orange book and no longer blackened, He sat down next to the man and cringed at the words in the book.
"I assume you are Kai Yue, correct? You certainly didn't learn that trick from school." Kakashi said without looking at the other, Yue simply nodded. Sasuke walked onto the roof and sat down with out a word, Sakura and Naruto were there after another two minutes. Kakashi put the book down and his eye turned into an upside down U shape. "Okay let's start with introduction! Name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams, and anything you might want to add!" Kakashi pulled out a scroll and pointed at Sakura. "You start!"
"Um… My name is Haruno Sakura, I like…" Her eyes went to Sasuke and for a moment to Yue but not for very long. "I dislike a girl named Ino and other things I can't really think of right now. I don't really have any hobbies. And my dream." Her eyes once again went to Sasuke. "Umm don't really know right now." She stopped there and looked at her hands. Kakashi looked at Sasuke.
"Okay pale face, your turn." Sasuke's eye twitched but he ignored it. Kakashi was clearly trying to get a reaction mush like Yue tried with him.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I have many likes and dislikes but I'm sure none of you are interested. My hobby is training. My dream is to avenge my clan and restore it to its once glory." Sasuke finshed as quickly as he could and went back to being silent. 'I feel sorry for who ever he marries.' Yue thought as he found an image of a pregnant woman with nine kids running around in his head.
"Whiskers go." Kakashi said.
"Name's Uzumaki Naruto! I like ramen and the color orange! I dislike Sasuke-Teme(2) and ramen that takes three agonizing minutes to make! My hobbies are training with my friend Yue, and taking walks! My dream is to one day be Hokage!" Naruto yelled the whole thing and everyone, except Yue who was used to the yelling, were holding their ears.
"Ok… Your turn." Kakashi pointed at Yue.
"My name is Kai Yue. My likes include white roses, the color black, and the arts. I dislike those who put themselves above others and hate people before they really know them. My hobbies are training, the arts, and gardening. My dream is to see everyone I care for live they're lives to the fullest. The only other thing you need to know about me is that there is a person I protect." Yue's voice throughout all his words stayed emotionless. He didn't want Kakashi analyzing him.
'This will be interesting.' Kakashi thought as he read the scroll. Then his eyes widened when he realized something interesting. The scroll filled with information about his new team and at this time he was reading about Yue.
"Yue, it says here that your gender is unknown. Why is that?" Kakashi eyed the second youngest of the four in front of him. Yue sighed.
"Because its none of anyone's business whether I am male or female. Naruto here doesn't even know if I'm a boy or a girl." Yue said with a more bored voice then before.
"You're telling me no one knows." Yue nodded. Kakashi found this to be an interesting twist, Now that he thought about it though, Yue looked very familiar, Even his name was, He looked at the scrolls again to see something even more intriguing. Sakura was the black sheep. She had both her parents and a not well known family but still known. On the other hand Sasuke, Naruto, and Yue all had no parents. Sasuke and Naruto had very well known names while Yue didn't even exist until four years ago. He got the feeling his life was about to get a lot more interesting.
"Well then. Meet me tomorrow at 6 am at training ground seven. Don't eat or you'll end up getting sick." Kakashi said before disappearing.
(The following day)
Three of the members of team seven were gathered at the training ground at 7:00 am but Kakashi was no were to be found. Yue only just walking onto the grounds with a yawn.
"You're late." Naruto said doing little to hide is irritation. "You were right behind me wen I left."
Yue shrugged with a smile. "I went back for a nap. Why does it matter, I'm still here before Kakashi."
Almost as if that were a cue Kkashi appeared in a puff of smoke.
"Yo." He said.
"You're late!" Naruto and Sakura yelled together.
"Well a black cat crossed my path and to avoid any bad luck I had to take a much longer route." Kakashi said calmly.
The two more hyper members of the team stood their staring at the man. It was obviously a lie, but they were unsure how to respond to it.
"Anyways, about your test today." Kakashi pulled out of his pack three lunches, three bells, and a timer. "You have to get these bells from me by when the timer goes off at noon, Whoever does not get a bell doesn't eat and is going back to the academy." He quickly explained. The Genin all had horrified faces, though it was hard to tell with Yue.
"But Sensei there is only three bells." Sakura pointed out.
"That is because our team has an extra member, this way at least one of you goes back." Once again everyone was shocked but this time with a sense of determination. Sasuke and Sakura both looked at Naruto relief finding its way to they're faces, Yue moved in front of Naruto and glared at them through the forehead protector, Though they couldn't see the glare a shiver still went down they're spines, a feeling Sasuke did not want to repeat. Yue nodded to Kakashi.
"Shall we start?"
"How can you be so calm?" Naruto asked louder then he meant to.
"Can we afford to panic? Keeping a cool head is always the smart thing to do." Yue looked off to the side. 'The safe thing to do in our case.' Yue added silently.
Kakashi set the timer and nodded. "Start now!" He then disappeared. Yue did the same and the others ran into the forest. Yue found himself in a very tall tree watching the fighting play out. He didn't see much of a point in tracking Kakashi down, even if Yue had trained well passed his level, he still didn't think he wanted to face a jounin of his Sensei's level. Yue sat in trees and sometimes jumped from tree to tree, He waited for someone to need him, but the occasion still hadn't arrived. That is until he found Naruto hanging from a tree.
"Yue? Where have you been?" The blond asked as he dangled upside down, Yue pulled out a kunai and cut the rope. Sensing that Sakura and Sasuke were in danger Yue pointed Naruto in Sasuke's direction.
"Go that way and help Sasuke, he is fighting Kakashi as we speak." Naruto whined and Yue hit him lightly on his head. "Do you want me to tie you back up?"
"No! I'm going," Naruto said before running the way Yue pointed. The raven then started running another way, When he made it to his destination Sakura was on the floor out cold. Yue sighed but got into a defensive stance when he sensed Kakashi.
'Now I remember.' Kakashi thought.
Yue turned around facing a clone, but it was not Kakashi standing before him, growling Yue threw a kunai between the clone's eyes. "I won't fall for tricks like that!" Yue quickly picked Sakura up onto his back and ran in the direction of Naruto and Sasuke, Once he was in the same clearing as the other three he set Sakura down gently and turned to Naruto as he tried to help Sasuke. Yue found there was only one Kakashi, no clones. The one Yue fought was probably just to see how easy it was to distract him. Yue saw an opening and smirked, He ran at Kakashi head on and threw a punch at the man, knowing very well a head on attack wouldn't work.
'What is he doing?' Kakashi thought as he just dodged all of the nin's attacks. He kicked at another Yue that tried to grab the bells. His eyes widened a bit when he realized there were about thirty Yue's and Naruto's surrounding him. 'He was distracting me.'
"What's wrong, Sensei?" All of the Yue's said with a mocking tone. Kakashi looked behind him and then jumped to avoid one of Sasuke's fire balls, Sadly this fire ball caused most of Naruto's clones to disappear, All of Yue's clones that were hit did not disappear but were badly burned. "Sasuke! What the hell!?" All the Yue's yelled.
"You're to slow!" Sasuke responded and had a strange case of Déjà-vu.
'We'll see about that.' Yue smirked and in the blink of an eye Yue's clones surrounded Kakashi.
"Oh dear." Kakashi said as the clones did there hand seals.
"Kori Kasai no Jutsu(1)!" They yelled in union. A spinning blue fire that made everything it touched freeze shot from all they're hands aiming for Kakashi. The man jumped straight up and dodged the strange flame. The clones all disappeared when they were hit by the jutsu.
"Hmm, Where's the real one?" Kakashi landed safely and dodged three kunai thrown at him. Sakura was the one to throw them, Kakashi sighed. 'They make this to easy.'
Yue sat in a tree top watching his clones surround Kakashi. He was not happy when Sasuke's attack interfered with the plan he had made with Naruto. Yue watched it all unfold from his safe spot, Now that Yue thought about it that jutsu may not have been the one to use, if touched you are likely to freeze to death unless you're very lucky.
Yue jumped when a presence showed itself behind him throwing him off the tree. Kakashi smiled as he followed the nin from the top of the tree, Yue in slight panic did his hand seals and wind quickly made a tornado like movement cushioning Yue's fall. "Aren't you skilled?" Kakashi asked sarcastically, landing a few feet from Yue reading his orange book.
"I started my schooling earlier than most." Yue stood up straight and crossed his arms. "By the way, how skilled are you at swimming in a pool of bodies?" He asked with a smirk. Kakashi turned around only to see a wave of Naruto's come at him, But when Yue hit him in the leg with a kunai he turned into a tree trunk. "Go figure." Yue froze when he realized the Naruto wave was not stopping, He then disappeared, Yue scanned his new location and found that he was next to Sasuke hiding in a tree. He silently got in the tree to hide behind Sasuke. "The fight isn't in the trees you know." Sasuke jumped and turned to face the blind nin.
"Baka! What if I attacked you?" He glared at Yue, a little annoyed that it had no effect.
"You would have missed. And I would have kicked you out of this tree for it," Yue said grinning as he chuckled. He sat by the trunk of the tree and let one foot dangle off the branch.
With a grit of his teeth Sasuke turned to Yue again. "Will you just go away!?" Sasuke said, his eyes shifting around for any other movement.
"No. And Kakashi isn't in our area so calm down." The younger crossed his arms and sighed.
"Why would I be calm? I have to get one of those bells." Sasuke said. Yue shook his head at Sasuke. "Why aren't you off trying to get the bells?"
"Because I hate pointless things and unlike you I know we've already failed this test." Sasuke glared at Yue after that response.
"The test isn't over." He growled, Yue nodded.
"Doesn't mean we passed."
"You're an idiot, just leave me alone!" Sasuke turned away from the other dark haired genin.
"As you wish." Yue calmly walked away now at the foot of the tree. Sasuke sat there trying to figure out when he got down there. Yue walked back to the training ground and sat next to the timer and sighed, Time was almost up, And even if he went for the bells he got the feeling it would be a hollow victory sense Naruto probably doesn't have one nor Sakura and Sasuke. He sat there in wait before the timer went off and Kakashi appeared next to him.
"Yue? What are you doing here?" Kakashi stared at the nin with a curios eye. Even if he most likely already new Yue was there.
"I was waiting for the timer to go off." The nin stood and sat down next to one of the three posts. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura walked out of the forest all looking like they might kill themselves.
"Well you did better then I expected, but you didn't get the bells so tell you what. After lunch I'll give you one more chance. But the one who did the worst today does not eat and to make sure of that…" Kakashi grabbed Sakura and tied her to the post. "Sakura will stay tied here. Do not feed her or untie her. I will return in a half an hour." He then disappeared.
Yue shook his head and opened his lunch. Instead of taking a bite like everyone thought he would he walked over to Sakura and held the food close to her mouth. "Eat." He said.
"But Kakashi just said not to feed me, If we get caught…" Yue cut the girl's words off.
"Just eat!" Sakura silenced and looked at Sasuke.
"Eat, He's right, we don't need you weak when we take the test." Sasuke responded to her unspoken question. Sakura nodded and took the food into her mouth spitting it out when Kakashi appeared out of no where.
"YOU!" Everyone froze in surprise except Yue who pulled another lunch box out of his back pack. "Pass." Kakashi's eye went into an upside down U shape.
"What!" The three yelled. This comment seemed to have Yue shocked, for a moment he sat there with his food in hand before standing up with a kunai to cut Sakura free.
"You pass," Kakashi repeated but he got questioning stares rather than words. "Let me explain. None of you worked together, If you had worked together you probably would have been able to get at least one bell. So I tied Sakura to the post to see if you would go against my orders and help your comrade or follow them thus leading to you losing the test."
"But why?" Sakura asked as she rubbed where the rope was.
"There is a new saying in the ninja world. Those who break the rules and codes of the ninja world are called trash but those who don't take care of their comrades are lower than trash." Yue nodded now understanding what had happened. "That is what this test was based off. Now does it make sense?"
"Yes." Sakura and Naruto smiled. Yue patted Naruto's head and turned to Kakashi.
"You need to learn to mask yourself better." Yue said to his sensei.
"I thought I did a good job." Kakashi crossed his arms trying to think of ways to avoid Yue's detection. "So you fed Sakura even though you knew I was watching."
"Do I seem like the type to follow the rules?" Yue raised an eyebrow at the man. "By the way that trick you used was dirty."
"You didn't fall for it." Kakashi pointed out seeming a little to happy.
"Why would I? He isn't returning anytime soon." Naruto looked back and forth between the two.
"Who?" He asked. Sasuke and Sakura were a little curios about the answer they would get as well.
"Yue's last sensei I believe. I don't know much about it, I only heard rumors about the two."
"Onii-Chan is what I called him. The rumors were true." Yue set his food down and stood. "So, how did you figure it out?"
"I'd only ever seen one person before you who blindfolded themselves, putting the two together wasn't hard." Kakashi explained to the curios ninjas.
"So how old was this guy?" Sakura asked eyeing Yue as if he would attack any moment.
"By now he would be 19, but that's assuming he is still alive." Yue's answer seemed a little strained.
"You've never mentioned this before, who was he?" Naruto was the one to speak. Yue glared at him through the forehead protector and Naruto froze.
"That is none of your concern. Ask again, and deals off," With those words Yue disappeared. The three looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi shook his head. "I don't know much, I do know that from Yue's record, this person was likely the one who murdered Yue's family."
(Elsewhere)
Yue walked into his very big and very empty house, He went to his room which he reached after a few minutes. He opened a box on his dresser running a hand over the forehead protector in it. "Onii-Chan." He whispered. He closed the box and fell onto the bed, letting himself drift into sleep.
His dreams were filled with his memories of flowers and training fields, but the dreams turned into nightmares of death and sadness.
HellRat: You know I might want to let you guys know that Yue might not be male. I'm just saying he is cause its easier that way and the characters call him male because they wanted to. Point is Yue's gender is unknown so don't assume anything.
Naruto: REVIEW!
HellRat: Chapter two will be edited soon.
