Naruto:Lights out
The fame's your best friend, you love it, no questions.
Beating down the door is the face of rejection.
And once again it's a tragedy anthem.
We never wanted more; we never needed your blessing.
But who could give a fuck about a kid with a dream?
'Cause stories aren't told about the ones unseen.
With the gleam in his eye, his middle finger to the sky.
Crooked smile on his face, he doesn't think he can die.
So grab a pick and an axe, 'cause we try, we cry.
Into the bottle of Jack we die, inside.
So when you look in his eyes, what cha see now.
Murder the monster you've made, and watch him bleed out.
We're in a life, where it's kill or lose.
Just lie motherfucker, 'til you hear the truth.
From under the street, through the gutters of youth.
Just cry, motherfucker, yeah, I'm talking to you.
We are, we are, we are made from broken parts.
We are, we are, we are broken from the start.
And our hearts, our hearts, they were beating in the dark
'Cause we are, we are, we are built from broken parts.
From the city of angels!
An empty vessel of devils!
Is there no one to save us?
Through my eyes, see the world that you gave us.
From the city of angels!
And every vessel of devils!
Is there no way to save us?
Look through my eyes; see the world that you gave us!

chapter one
Ten year old Uzumaki Naruto jumped up and down as he waited out in the hallways with many other kids.
Today was the graduation exam which Naruto had signed himself up for after he had overheard Mizuki-sensei Talking about it with a few teachers from some of the other classes.
"So Mizuki any in your class who are going to attempt early graduation this year?" asked a light skin academy
teacher with blonde hair who Naruto slightly recognized from seeing him around the village from time to time.
"As far as I know there isn't any this go around Takeru."
"What about the Uchiha?" asked a black haired female teacher.
" Naw man he didn't sign up. " replied Mizuki.
"I admit that kid got potential no doubt about it but he's too caught up in trying to get stronger and stronger
you know to defeat his brother and all that hell from what my little bro says I figure the Uchiha doesn't really pay attention to much else plus if I was him I wouldn't want to do anything my older nuke nin brother did "
Remarked a brown haired teacher from the preschool level.
'Eh I'm loads better than the teme ! I'll prove it to by passing the exam 'ttebayo! I can do this! Believe it!' Thought Naruto as he smiled and looked around at all the other kid's. There seemed to be a lot in the hallway with him and he was sure more would arrive before the test was to start. A few of the kids that Naruto recognize were from his year but were in separate classes If he remembered correctly.
'Heh probably all had the same idea as me '
Thought Naruto As he continued to look around, Before long two kids had manage to catch his eyes, He had recognized them both as being fellow orphans and classmates of his, First there was the Takimono kid whose first name Naruto never bothered to remember. In Naruto's opinion he looked alot like Iruka sensei except Takimono didn't have the scar that Iruka had. Standing near him was a girl with brown spiky hair that hung over the right side of her face named...
oh crud what was her name again?
Oh yeah!
Kirimata ..
Kirimata ... MORIKO!
Yeah yeah that was her name Kirimata Moriko!
Naruto recalled she was actually a some what decent kunoichi from what he'd seen during their time in the academy. If he remembered correctly in the last class standing's that was updated and posted at the end of last semester she was something like 12th overall. Her greatest weakness for the large part was being somewhat of a Sasuke fan girl. Naruto remembered all the time's he would see her gushing over the teme alongside Ino and Sakura and the rest of their friend's.
Both Moriko and the Takimono kid were looking around studying their competition, just like he was.
'Hmm I wonder if they'll pass' He thought to himself.
Personally he never really had any prior actual interactions with either of the two. But if he remembered correctly both of them had mentioned before in class that they both lived in different apartment buildings close to his near the red light district part of the village.
'Doesn't the Takimono kid have an elder brother or something?' wondered Naruto when he suddenly remembered seeing his male classmate walking around the village sometimes with an older looking teenager. As if he was sensing that Naruto was thinking about him said boy glanced over in his direction.
A dark haired boy sighed.
'I wonder if Sukima would really disown me if I don't pass this exam.'
Thought a ten year old boy by the name of Takimono, Tobio
Tobio was an orphan whose parent's had been killed alongside his classmate's and friend's Moriko's parents' on a mission against some enemy shinobi back when they were both around five years old. His elder brother Sukima and Izumi her elder sister were both around the age of ten at the time and had just become genin five months prior.
Five year old Tobio laughed at a prank his nii-san's teammates had pulled on Tokuma-sensei who laid spread out on the floor rubbing his head while muttering about becoming a jōnin and being forced to take on naive students.
Suddenly a ANBU with a Inu mask appeared out of nowhere.
"The Hokage requires the presence of Genin Takimono and his younger brother."
Just as quickly as he arrived the ANBU left.
Tobio Frowned.
He remembered meeting Moriko, her sister and her sisters teamates Inuzuka, Kano and Hagane, Takuya and their sensei Haruno, Ryuzaki along the way to the Hokage's office.
He remembered glancing up at his elder brother's face the second after the Hokage made the announcement of their parent's apparent deaths.
He remembered seeing his big brother go wide eye and his shoulder's dropping.
He remembers him and Moriko tugging on their sibling's shirts both trying to get their elder sibling's attention.
He remembers Tokuma knelling down and calling him over.
He remembers oh yes he remembers.
The days and night's that followed.
He never had seen his brother cry so hard before in his life.
To him it had seemed like the unthinkable had happened when he saw one of his heroes cry like that.
He remembers going to the memorial stone daily and just standing there with his nii-san in silence for two months afterwards
He remembers seeing a giant with white hair staring at him and his sibling every time they both went to visit the stone.
He always arrived ten minutes after they did.
He remembers getting fed up with the staring a month in and telling his brother about it.
"Hey aniki"
"Yes otouto?"
"There's a pervert who stare's at us."
He remembers his brother telling him to squeeze his hand next time they went so he would know.
He remembers doing just that.
He remembers his brother's shouts and the giant flinching.
He remembers his brother grabbing hold of him and the two of them racing away from the giant.
He remembers them running towards one of the leaf's clan compounds. Which one? He couldn't say.
He remembers busting into one of the side family's apartment houses and watching as his brother broke down sobbing into the arms of a surprised kunoichi named Naori His brother's old crush and academy classmate.
He remembers her yelling out to their other friend's.
He remembers watching as a stampede of concerned friends come racing towards the scene.
Nowadays his aniki was barely home.
The reason he was told once when he was seven was because he and his team mates were taking on triple the amount of missions a genin team usually would.
On the rare cases that he WAS home he was either always sleeping or drinking with friends in their shared Apartment on the shady part of the village.
During those nights when his brother and his friend's got wicked drunk he usually snuck out of the apartment complex to go do whatever there was to do during the night in Konohagakure. Many times' he had bumped into many other orphan's out on their own little adventures. He frowned remembering one such occasion that happened back when he was eight a few months after the Uchiha Clan Massacre.
Eight year old Tobio smiled under his Hyō Mask.
it was getting close to sunset and he being the brave rebellious kid he was had snuck out of his home once again during a apartment building wide bash in order to go exploring the town.
Now that those police people weren't around it seemed like he was finally able to actually explore the whole village.
His target tonight?
The shinobi exclusive forest that every other year seemed to come alive with scream's and shouts.
His aniki during one of his parties had drunkenly warned him about going in there unsupervised.
From behind his mask Tobio smirked.
"Heh what does that old fart know I can take good care of myself pretty damn well thank you very much!"
Without warning some shuriken and kunai flew right past his head causing him to let out a "eep!"
One had actually managed to wack him on the back of the head.
Quick as a whip he turned around and saw a red haired person in a red and white traveling cloak with an Anbu-esque mask on standing twenty feet away from him. The mask they were wearing seemed to have a spiral where the lips usually were.
The two stood there silently observing each other.
"Who the fuck are you?" yelled Tobio tensing up.
Instead of responding the shinobi before him simply stood there unmoving. The person looked to be deep in thought about something.
After thirty seconds passed Tobio got fed up.
"WELL?" He yelled causing birds from nearby tree's to shoot up into the sky.
"..."
"YO DOBE IM TALKING TO YOU…WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU NOW!" he yelled again this time while reaching for his weapon's pouch.
Another three seconds
A rather loud thump followed by a moan was heard. Before Tobio knew it he was being shoved hard to the ground by a force that came from his left.
"Hey civi I don't know you and I don't care to know you but please just shut your mouth!" whispered a feminine sounding voice.
Tobio turned his head and saw another masked ANBU-esque person.
This one's had on a mask bearing some weird symbol under the right eyehole alongside the leaf symbol on the opposite side staring back at him.
'Another one?' thought Tobio.
"I see your itching to start tonight eh Washi-chan, came a calm and collective third voice.
"Ah hush it you know damn well that if I hadn't intervene when i did then Mr. Quiet over there would have snapped by now."
The girl's voice was the last thing he remembered from that night.
The next morning, he had found himself tucked into his bed in nothing but briefs and a white t-shirt.
Tobio shook his head furiously trying to get rid of the thoughts and memories plaguing his mind.
After a minute of head shaking he quit and decided to try to focus instead on the other examines.
He studied the kid's standing next to the wall opposite of him.
Earlier when he had arrived he had noted that there were several other kids from his year all scattered around the hallway.
His eye's glanced over at blonde haired whiskered face boy his age and stayed there for a solid three seconds before moving on.
Their bodies were never recovered.
The lone survivor a jōnin who name Moriko didn't remember was the one to report the death's.
He was also the last to die. Right there in front of the Hokage as he reported in a mission failure.
Official autopsy according to the jōnin's niece a girl who would go on to be one of Moriko's closest friends reported a small amount of some slow reacting poison in his system. Medic nin's were unable to place the exact origins of the poison only that it was barely even traceable in his system. He was apparently poisoned three days prior on the mission.
…
Batta bing batta boom…
Four instant orphan's and one ... no two (for Moriko remembered her friend having a foster brother with black hair and pale skin for a short while) orphan's once more.
Sighing Moriko glanced around near the door and saw a group of older academy students enter into the hallway.
One was a purple haired older girl who was walking towards a crowd of girl's on the other side of the hallway.
'So she's taking it to huh.'
Moriko mused and smiled at the thought of her and her ex friend possibly graduating together.
A Girl with purple hair styled in an asymmetrical cut walked into the hallway.
'Geez all these low lives are here to take the test? Heh what a joke man I'll wipe the floor with these fool's!'
She smirked to herself as she walked towards a group of girls who upon spotting her promptly squeaked and ran off down the hall.
'Just like I predicted their all weak and useless heh their nothing but a bunch a scaredy cats who won't last even a second in a battle'
Thought eleven year old Ami just before she spotted her friends Fuki and Kasumi standing on the other side of the hallway.
It was twenty minute's passed the time the exams were supposed to start and the proctor's had yet to show.
Many kids were getting annoyed. "Seriously WHERE THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE!" yelled out a brown hair rugged looking Inuzuka boy.
"arf arf" barked his white coated puppy.
"OI dog breath! Will you settle down and shut up your yelling woke up Hideki-kun!" screamed a fan girl who was just about to lean down and kiss her crush slash obsession
"How troublesome"
Mumbled Nara Hideki as he used the opening provided by the Inuzuka male from his class to escape his stalker and uncharacteristically (for someone of his heritage) ran like hell to hide among a group of Nara boy's from some of the other classes.
Unbeknownst to the crowd of kid's a group of henged Chunin's and Jōnin's quietly stood among them trying and for the most part succeeding in blending in. One a purple haired plan trench coat wearing Tokubetsu Jōnin named Mitarashi, Anko smirked. A genin hopeful who so happened to be admiring Anko's ample figure was the first one to spot her smirk. He promptly shivered and slowly backed away from said Jōnin Not that it would do him any good considering what came next.
Suddenly the kid's in the hallway and all around the academy got an earful when a loud ear splitting sound suddenly started to resonate all around them, causing several dogs on each floor level to start barking. Finally after twenty seconds of excruciating torture the noise stopped. After a few seconds of blessed silence a lone voice sounded from the group of kids.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" screamed a brown haired ten year old girl.
Many recognized her as being part of a rather large famous civilian clan known for their famous dango shop's that were set up all over the shinobi nation's each location being own and operated by very distant cousins of hers. Her shouting made many of the other kid's around her cringed including a short boy with dark black hair and tanned skin.
'Sesh loud much'
Thought a eleven year old boy named Sarutobi Kenta of the famous Sarutobi clan.
Near Kenta was a tall boy with shaggy shoulder length sandy blond hair and blue eyes who stood at 5'0 even.
'Ugh not like my hearing is important or anything'
Sarcastically thought eleven year old Yamanaka Shiro an elder distant cousin of the Yamanaka clan heiress Ino.
A shuriken was thrown towards the brunette from somewhere behind Her. She was able to sense it last second and promptly ducked out of the weapon's path. It wound up striking the wall where another girl wearing a fishnet black shirt was not even five seconds prior. That incident was repeated many more time's with much of the same outcomes. Only a few kids were nicked by the shinobi tools. When it seemed like the assault was finally over each of the weapons suddenly started glowing.
Naruto as well as many of the other more experience prankster's quickly figured out what was about to go down and they promptly ducked to the floor with some even dragging friends and family down with them.
A series of loud bangs was heard followed a second later by a ton of smoke and confetti which was blasted towards many of the unfortunate kids who didn't get the chance to do a last minute dive completely covering them. After a window was opened and a quick wind jutsu was used the smoke finally cleared. The group of kid's then preceded to stand up and sort themselves out..
Only to freeze in realization.
The blast from the bangs had caused many of the kid's to jump up in surprise resulting in them losing balance and promptly falling down with many doing like the prankster's and grabbing onto the closest things. Many like Hideki and Kenta unfortunately found themselves in rather compromising positions thanks' to the surprise. When many of the kid's realized what had happened including a few fan girls who were hoping to get a piece of their obsessions during the chaos's they did the only thing they could think to do in this type of situation, they screamed with many being the unfortunate victims of the Kawarimi jutsu gagging after experiencing first base. Seeing what had happen caused many of the hidden proctors's to release their henge's and revert back to their original sizes and shapes. Some like Anko who started the whole thing fell to their knee's laughing their asses off at the scene. After three minutes of rather insane laughter they were finally able to stop.
...Well some of them were able to stop.
...Other's...
...Not so much...
"O-I oi that was freaking rich ..just..oh my kami that WAS FREAKING RICH!" Laughed out a wild haired chunin with bandages over his face.
Not even the combined killing intent from the examines was enough to deter some of the shinobi whose sanity their co-worker's who just so happened to be watching from the Jōnin standby station via tv's were quickly questioning. One such person was a Chunin named Yuhi Kurenai.
"Um shouldn't they be testing right about now?" She asked a Tokubetsu Jōnin sitting next to her named Raido. "Ha what do you think their doing?" He replied laughing while reaching his hand out towards a glasses wearing bandana tied male.
"TOLD YOU THEY WOULD DUCK!"
Yelled out a Chunin from the leaf's T&I force. Many within the room began to grumble as they handed over money to their co-worker's and fellow shinobi's.
"Well well well at least not all of you are hopeless" remarked Anko as she studied the crowd of kid's alongside her fellow proctor's. A black haired Girl with purple marks on her cheek's near Anko suddenly started growling causing Anko to look over at her...Well the group of people who were still on top of her. This scene made Anko smirk.
"YO SAVE THE CELEBRATORY ORGIE'S FOR AFTER YOU BECOME GENIN'S!" she hollered causing many in the room and those in the Jōnin Standby Station to either sweat drop or blush. Anko smiled at the glare's she was receiving from the group of kid's still on the floor.
Suddenly the school bell started ringing signally the start of regular classes and what was supposed to mark thirty minutes after the first exam was supposed to have started.
As the bell continued to ring Anko yelled "OI WHAT ARE YOU BAKA'S WAITING FOR? GET THE HELL INTO THE ROOM!" The kid's all gulped and started to form a mob trying to get into the classroom.
For many of the examinees the saying as one door closes another one opens couldn't be anymore truer then in that moment. For the many in the building it was just another regular day at the leaf's shinobi academy but for the few it was the start of an all-new chapter in their lives.
Many sets of eye's watch on as the genin hopeful's filed into the rather large classroom. All together there were more than one hundred kid's there and almost just as many proctors. A series of loud pop's drew the group of tester's attention to the front of the room. A good size chunk of them understood what was expected of them and promptly formed the proper hand seals needed in order to dispel the genjutsu. The idea caught on quickly leading many of the proctors to nod in approval as a lone Chunin stepped forward.
"OK BRAT'S WE'RE ONLY EXPLAINING ONCE SO LISTEN UP!"
As the Chunin stepped back a Jōnin took his place.
"Ok then this is how the exams are going down. First when I call your name please step forward and a proctor will hand you a slip of paper. This slip of paper will have a number on it. That number will be your identification number for the remainder of the exams today, and YES each desk in this classroom has a corresponding number sticker on it. So let's review shall we?"
A few other proctors stepped forward.
"FIRST! WE CALL YOUR NAME!"
"SECOND YOU STEP FORWARD!"
"THIRD A PROCTOR WILL OFFER YOU A SLIP OF PAPER AS WELL AS A TEST PACKET!"
"FOURTH YOU TAKE SAID SLIP OF PAPER AND TEST PACKET!"
"FIFTH YOU READ SAID SLIP OF PAPER!"
"SIXTH YOU FIND THE CORRESPONDING DESK!"
"SEVENTH SIT DOWN!"
"EIGHTH SHUT UP!"
"NINTH WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION'S!"
"So any questions?"
The proctor waited five seconds before he continued.
"OK THEN LETS START WITH THE A's!"
"ABUR.."
Naruto and many others quickly proceeded to tune out the instructor.
'This is going to take a while.' Thought many of the kid's in the room.
Down below on a different floor class was just starting.
"Hello and welcome back to another semester at the academy!" That statement made by a dark skin Chunin by the name of Umino, Iruka was followed by groan's coming from almost every one of the student's in the classroom as each tried to stay awake on their first day back from vacation. Their reaction's made both Chunin academy instructors in the room sweat drop.
"OK then! Raise your hand when we call out your name or else you will be marked absent!" yelled out the other instructor, A pale skinned white haired guy by the name of Mizuki.
As both teacher's went down the list and called out name's they as well as the rest of the class noticed that a quite a few students were missing.
'Where's the dobe?'
Wondered a dark haired student by the name of Uchiha,Sasuke the 'last' 'loyal' Uchiha who resided in the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Nar-Naru-to-kun's missing!'
Thought a worried pearl eyed girl the heiress of the clan Hyuga wielder's of the legendary doujutsu Byakugan. She was Hyuga Hinata a shy and meek but yet rather adorable young girl.
'Eh guess the idiot finally decided to drop out!'
Thought a feral looking boy while he was petting a whimpering small white puppy named Akamaru. The boy was none other than Inuzuka Kiba third in line to inherit the title of Inuzuka clan head which currently fell on the shoulders of his grandfather. His mother was Inuzuka Tsume mother of two and one of the few still alive from her original shinobi graduating class.
'Hm according to my bug's the kid's missing are currently a few floor's above taking the graduation exam...How Interesting'
Thought a boy with glasses known as Aburame Shino second in line to Inherit the title of Aburame clan head right behind his father Aburame Shibi.
'I knew I should have taken the exam with Shiro-nii'
Thought a rather cute blonde hair loudmouth girl who promptly sighed. Yamanaka Ino Heiress to the Famous Yamanaka clan was sitting in the highest roll of desk right smack dabbed in the middle of the classroom and most importantly in the middle of her friends of a few years' and fellow clan heirs Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Chouji the former much to her chargin was sleeping through class yet again, This made her roll her eyes and look to her other side where she caught sight of Chouji once again snacking on some chips. The sight of her 'hefty' friend made her smirk.
'All well I can take the next one in three months Ha THAT'LL ONE UP FOREHEAD!' she thought happily.
'I wonder where Naruto went?'
thought Akimichi Chouji heir apparent to the Akimichi Clan.
'Huh Moriko's gone how strange she usually never misses a day'
Thought a slightly concerned pinkette named Haruno Sakura proud daughter of Jōnin Haruno, Kizashi whom she inherited her natural pink hair from and his wife Haruno Mebuki a fair-skinned woman with shoulder-length, blonde hair with a single bang which falls down into her face from whom she had inherited her green eyes from. Like her father her mother was also trained in the shinobi arts Having obtained the rank of Jōnin at the age of sixteen and leading her own genin team before settling down with her father. Both of her parents were very skilled in Taijutsu.
The class as a whole were knocked out of their thoughts when a shinobi wearing a ryu mask appeared out of a puff of smoke. His entrance caused many of the civilian born and raised kid's to gasp. The ANBU handed a list out to Iruka and promptly left. Both Mizuki and Iruka glanced at the packet and saw a letter from the front office .

(pg,1)
After scanning the names one the rest of the page's Iruka and Mizuki both sent somewhat good thought's out to the students of theirs who were apparently taking the graduation exam early.
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
'Finally!'
Thought Naruto as he walked towards the smirking proctor who had called his name only to be flagged down by a different proctor and handed the needed papers
As he handed out the papers Hijiri Shimon thought sadly
'Break a leg Uzumaki...show everyone what sensei's son can do dattebane!'
As if sensing the proctor's thought's Naruto flashed a fox like smile towards the man as he received the slip of
paper that had his number on it as well the written test packet, too the young boys surprise the proctor smiled back as if he was encouraging him to pass.
As Naruto walked away he glanced down at his slip of paper.
'Nine eh? Cool I guess.'
Naruto quickly found desk number nine on the right side of the room right in between Nara Hideki a dark
haired boy who Naruto assumed was kin to a boy from his class named Shikamaru and Gekko Emiko the cousin apparently of some famous kenjutsu master whose name was Hayate. As soon as the last name on the list was called and the last kid was seated the exam started.
In one world the person who was responsible for handing Naruto his test packet was one of the one's who had treated said boy with anger and disrespect. However in this world the people as well as many other things were different.
What caused most of the differences?
It was Simple really.
No really it was!
One of the culprits was a series of prank's that went off both before and in-between meals a week before the
test, just three days shy of the deadline to sign up for the exam.
In both Naruto had debated on rather or not he should do some early celebrating and pull off some awesome pranks.
In the one where he had failed said exam. Naruto was distracted by the sweet smell of ramen being carried by
one Mitarashi Anko for one of her co worker's since it was her turn to buy lunch. Naruto being the ramen
fanatic he was instantly started to follow her. This resulting in his pranks stalling and finally being carried out
around six P.M. This certain prank Resulted in over fifty shinobi being sent to the hospital E.R. including a
certain white haired shinobi. This lead to the academy scrambling for replacements. By the time the exam
rolled around the remaining proctor's managed to convince quite a few other Chunin's to help them proctor the
exam. Unfortunately for that Naruto many of those Chunin were People left orphaned by the Kyuubi attack.
However….
In this world it was still Anko's turn to buy lunch so like in the other world she asked her coworker's what they
wanted. When it was a Chunin's named Tonbo's turn he took a few minutes to decide like he usually did. Now he usually had ramen for lunch having acquired the love for it from all the time's his genin team had went to eat at Ramen Ichiraku thanks in part to the obsession his sensei had with the golden substance.
"Ah come on Ramen again sensei?"
"RAMEN IS THE FOOD OF THE GOD'S! TONBO-KUN! DATTEBANE!".
But his old teammate Oyone had recently recommended the yakitori and grilled onigiri dish from a restaurant
named Aguni's bar and grill claiming it to be 'simply to die for'.
"ugh so hard to decide!" he had exclaimed.
"dude you always get ramen what about something else for a change?" said his best friend Hijiri Shimon.
"Says the guy who gets the same thing time after time" remarked Anko. Before Shimon got the chance to retort Tonbo blurted out.
"Just get me the yakitori and grilled onigiri dish from that one new restaurant you know Aguni's bar and grill?"
Now that Anko wasn't carrying a take out of ramen Naruto had no reason to bother her.
This resulted in several things happening. One Naruto had just a little more time to think over his plans and two
as he stood there thinking he was spotted by non-other than the eternal gate guards Izumo and Kotetsu who
were enjoying the fact that they were given a week off to 'recover' from a incident that shall not be named...
"Yo hey Izumo isn't that..?"
"Oh hey yeah Yeah! It is him!"
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Hell yeah!"
In the end the two helped Naruto with his pranks and as a result many of the demon hating shinobi that would
have proctored the exam in the other world were placed in the hospital just like their counterparts however they
were also joined by many of the replacement's as well.
Uzumaki,Naruto was stumped.
Absolutely stumped.
It was midway through the allotted two and a half hours set aside for the written exam and and he was only a quarter of the way done with his test packet.
'What do i do! What do i do!' he thought frantically as he eyed the clock on the wall besides him which read in big bold numbers.
10:30
'Ugh why is it always me!' he complained silently.
Naruto glanced around at his neighbors. Both Emiko and Hideki were busy checking over their answers.
Hideki was busy checking over the first part of the test while Emiko was busy with the second part.
Suddenly an idea sprung up in his mind.
'heh i'm sure neither would mind very much if i just took a sneak peak eh?'
After getting the needed answer from Hideki's paper Naruto went back to his own test.
The next set of questions were surprisingly easy for the blonde to answer considering they had to do with the four Hokage's of the hidden leaf.
'Really Naruto?'
thought Moriko as she observed her classmate attempt to cheat off of a Nara boy.
She mentally sighed and rolled her eyes at the boy's desperation.
looking back at their shared time in the academy Moriko thought to herself.
'Written test were never really one of his strong point's'.
Hearing the boy next to her yawn caused Moriko to be knocked out of her thoughts. she glanced at the clock saw the time and then preceded to get back to her test.
Seventy-five minutes later one of the proctor's hollered time's up.
Naruto smirked as he handed in his packet.
He had managed to finish his test twenty minutes before hand and had just finished up going over it.
After all of the test were handed in and accounted for two of the proctor's called for everyone's attention.
"OK OK MAGGOTS LISTEN UP!"
"DUE TO THE LATE START WE GOT WE ARE BEING FORCED DUE TO TIME RESTRAINTS TO SKIP OVER THE BREAK YOU LOT WERE SCHEDULED TO HAVE RECEIVED AFTER THE WRITTEN EXAM WAS TO HAVE FINISHED AND GO STRAIGHT INTO THE TAIJUTSU AND WEAPONS PORTION OF THE TEST."
Needless to say many of the kid's including Naruto were not happy about that.
For the Outside portioned of the test the Examines were all divided into group's of nine.
Since Naruto's identification number was nine he was placed in group Ichi.
His group was led out out of the classroom to academy training ground one by two chunin's.
On their way there Naruto remembered that one of them the wild haired one had helped him with his prank a week ago.
When they had reached the assigned training ground the Chunin's both found it fit for everyone to introduce themselves.
"Ok then just so you know for future reference i am Hijiri, Shimon and this is my colleague Hagane, Kotetsu"
"Yo hey sup gaki's? heh hey Shimon why don't we start from bottom to top eh?"
"Sure why not?"
After a few seconds of silence the wild haired chunin spoke up again
"Yo orangy that means you!"
Naruto looked around and saw he was the only one wearing orange.
"Oh heh" he said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well the Name's Uzumaki, Naruto future Hokage 'TTEBAYO!"
"Names Ami"
"Niigata Rika everyone"
" l'm Rippūkan Sōji "
"The name's Yamanaka Shiro"
"Aburame Shi"
"My names Takimono Tobio"
"Kirimata Moriko nice to meet you."
"Sarutobi Kenta"
After the Introductions were over Shimon spoke again.
"Ok since we started from bottom to top how bout we go from top to bottom this time?...so for the weapons
portion of this exam all you got to do is get at least seven out of ten to pass on both kunai and shuriken
soo...Sarutobi your up!"
Kenta was handed first handed ten shuriken which he then proceed to throw. nine managed to hit the target
with one hitting dead center.
After the shuriken were retrieved by Shimon he then was handed the ten kunai which he immediately threw.
This time only eight hit the target none in the center.
"Kirimata Moriko!"
Moriko's results were much the same as Kenta's only this time they were flipped with her managing eight
shuriken and nine kunai.
it seemed to be a flip flop patterned with a person either managing eight shurken and nine kunai or the opposite
of nine shuriken and eight kunai.
Finally it was Naruto's turn.
He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply as he was handed ten kunai.
'come on Naruto-gaki i got twenty bucks riding on you!' thought Kotetsu as he silently watched the blonde ten year old.
Naruto opened his eyes and threw the kunai.
After the kunai were retrieved he was handed the shuriken which he proceed to throw with all his might.
He got a solid seven and seven a good enough score to pass the weapons portion of the exam's.
Next was the taijutsu portioned of the exam which for group Ichi meant that they were being mixed in with
group ni and group san.
The way to pass this exam was to land at least three hit's on the opposing proctor in under ten minute's.
When it was his turn to spar Naruto was paired against a Chunin by the name of Funeno, Daikoku
After the mandatory ten minutes were up Naruto had manage three hits on Daikoku thus passing the taijutsu exams.
After the Taijutsu exam's the three groups were led back to the area where the written test had previously taken place.
They were among the first set of groups to have made it back.
After twenty minutes the room was filled much like it was earlier that day with the same amount of kids and adults.
After a quick shout of "Hey!" from one of the proctors the room finally quieted down.
"Ok now that we have all made it back it is time for our lunch Break! Be sure to be back here in a hour!"
An hour and a half later found the classroom once again filled to the brink with student's all but around forty of them had on forehead protectors.
Ami and another girl had just reentered the classroom with their forehead protector tied around their necks. After k came l than m which to Naruto meant...
"Up next Uzumaki Naruto and Uzumo Hibachi! "
He was next.
He stood up alongside Hibachi a known former bully of his and together they silently walked towards the door.
Unbeknownst to Naruto Hibachi was silently wishing him good luck while thinking back to the talk he had
with his father about his actions towards the boy the previous semester which had nearly caused him and his friends
to be pulled out of the academy not to mention the lives of Naruto and Iruka-sensei could have ended due to his actions.
As the two boys exited out the classroom they were meet by a shinobi with red hair and brown eyes who simply eyed them before stating in a bored voice.
"Uzumo you are to go to room two hundred on the left Uzumaki you are to go Straight to room three hundred on the right..Both can be found upstairs on the next level."
On the way to the exam room Naruto was mentally panicking.
'CRAP! What if they ask me to do a bushin!?
Ugh I know i'm going to fail.'
All to soon both boys made it to the next floor and went their separate ways.
Silently Naruto entered the designated classroom...only to find non other then three old people sitting behind a large table.
Naruto recognized them from all the times he wound up in the Hokage's office.
First there was Utatane Koharu a elder and old genin teammate of the Sandaime Hokage. Beside her sat
Mitokado Homura another old teammate of the Sandaime. Next to Homura was Shimura Danzo a guy who he had found the be quite creepy.
'Ah the Jinchuuriki eh?'
Thought Danzo as he silently observed the nervous ten year old in front of him.
"According to your profile Uzumaki-san you have trouble with the bushin do you not?" asked Homura.
"Hai sir i do" replied Naruto.
"No matter what you do no matter how much you train you still cannot do a simple bushin" stated Danzo.
"Hai sir..."Seeing the boy obviously becoming distressed Koharu found it fitting to reprimand her ex-teammate and friend.
"Now now Danzo, Homura no need to scare the boy."
After receiving two grunts in reply Koharu went on.
"Now Naruto i'm not sure if your aware of this but me and Homura here were part of the same genin team as
the Sandaime Hokage."
"Hai ma'am i was aware of that fact."
"Ah i see. well then were you aware of the fact that our sensei was non other then the Nidaime?"
"Hai ma'am."
"Good good now here's a little secret.. the Nidaime had a sister in law named Mito.."
Before she could speak any further Homura interrupted her.
"Koharu! You know that.."
"Yes i do but I'm not telling him that part you big ol sack of bones!"
That comment made Naruto snicker and caused Danzo to smirk at his old friends antics.
"Anyways where was I ... oh yes the Nidaime's sister in law was One Mito Senju knee Uzumaki."
That last bit of information made Naruto Freeze. The three old advisers were studying him carefully,
Truth be told
each one of the elders had greatly respected and looked up to the wife of the Shodaime Hokage growing up.
To Koharu Mito was the very being of what it meant to be the perfect kunoichi. Mito had poised,grace, beauty
and a kind heart, as well as strength and power. Koharu remembered being one of the few lucky ones to have
seen that women in action. And she thanked her lucky stars every day that she was hardly ever on the receiving
end of her senpai's wrath...unlike some people she knew...
To Danzo Mito was like the perfect shinobi so to speak. Truth be told he was sure if she could see
them now she wouldn't hesitate to bend him and maybe Homura and no doubt Hiruzen over like a child and do
like any parent would do to their misbehaving child. That thought made Danzo the war hawk, The Widely
proclaimed Shinobi No Yami, the leader of ROOT survivor of the past three great shinobi wars shiver.
'No doubt she would be very displeased with our actions over the years'. Mito would have certainly handled many
of the things that Danzo and Hiruzen found to be their greatest regrets very differently then they themselves
did. She always did seem to have a certain effect on people. Even to this day it was a hot topic amongst those
still alive from his generation on how she had done it. Some like the father of the current clan head of the Hyūga would say she was gifted from the god that be at birth.
Others such as he himself who had personally dealt with those of Uzumaki blood before knew that it was all in the blood.
Many if not all who laid claim to the Uzumaki clan name were known to their peers to have very...oh how should he put this ah yes persuasive ways.
To Homura Mito Uzumaki-Senju was like a big sister. Someone who he could always go to when he
needed to vent, someone who was always there for him and guided him to the best of her abilities. She was one of the reasons why he and his team had managed to go so long without losing themselves to the insanity that
eventually came along with being a shinobi. He remembered nights spent in the feisty redheads company at her
rather large residence alongside his teammates Koharu and Hiruzen following the end of the war which
claimed the life's of not only his sensei the Nidaime but also that of the Shodaime Mito's husband and the father to her children.
A few minutes of silence passed before Naruto awkwardly coughed bringing the three elder's out of their musing's.
"Wha?" sputtered old man Homura as he jumped in surprise.
"Oh sorry Naruto got lost on the road of life I guess as a certain scarecrow would say haha." chuckled Koharu.
Elsewhere the jounin Known as Hatake Kakashi sneezed as he was sitting down next a random Jounin in the station and asked without missing a beat
"So what I miss?"
"Now as far as we know Mito-oba isn't closely related to you Naruto-san but the both of you can easily lay
claim to the Uzumaki Clan name. The Uzumaki were a prominent clan in Uzushiogakure which was nicknamed
the village of longevity because of the villager's tendencies to live long lives. The Uzumaki Clan were distant
blood relatives of the Senju clan and as such, both were on relatively good terms; an alliance that extended
onto their hidden villages Uzushiogakure and Konohagakure. The spiral on all your clothes Naruto that's the
symbol of your clan and their village. The shinobi of Konoha integrated Uzushiogakure's symbol onto their
uniforms and flak jackets as well as on the shoulders of their uniforms as a sign of friendship and goodwill
between the two villages, and continue to do so to this day, in memory of their friendship even years after
Uzushiogakure's destruction. Members of the Uzumaki clan are known to have very high stamina as well as
extremely high chakra reserves the later making learning simple Justus such as the bushin just that much harder
and for some just down right near impossible but not improbable . The reason I'm telling you any of this? The
reason was because of a promise made to your mother Uzumaki Kushina before she died. Naruto.."
It was here where Koharu took a deep breath.
"She was here in Konoha at the time of her
village's destruction. She elected to stay here in Konoha simply because as far as any of us knew at the time
this was where her last bit of family was. Even when Mito-sama died of old age and her granddaughter Tsunade left the village. Kushina still elected to stay
here. This village was where she built new bonds. She had many admirers simply because of her long red hair a somewhat trademark of the Uzumaki clan considering how many of its members had it... over the years It has
come to our villages attention that quite a few young shinobi have recently risen amongst the ranks of other villages all
with the last name Uzumaki...Now remember Naruto the chances of you actually being related to any of them
is actually quite slim but still the fact remains that YOUR mother's clan is still scattered out there...Now I cannot tell you
of your father simply because it was his wish for you not to know of his identity until you were deemed strong
enough to restrained against his enemy's...yes his enemies were great in number for he himself was a fiercesome warrior out in the battlefield."
When it seemed that Koharu was finish talking Danzo spoke up.
"Understand Uzumaki the shinobi world is a
cruel place especially to those such as yourself who bare the name of a strong clan. A clan which was feared by
Many. Many a times you will find yourself needing to make decisions that your colleagues will find to be
very..oh how should I put this ah yes inhumane For the betterment of the village. Of course there are many
different views on what is considered 'right and wrong' I myself am known to be a bitter rival of the Sandaime
Hokage. While he is known as the Shinobi No Kami the God of Shinobi I am known as the Shinobi No Yami The Darkness Of The Shinobi.
We may have differing views on many things but our ultimate goal of the continued betterment of the village is the same.
You yourself wish to be Hokage one day yes?
"Yes sir I do."
"Well then I hope you all the best in your bid for it then...along the way you will face many obstacles but just
remember they are just that obstacles. Now hm let's see here...ahh yes yes please henge into the big sack of bones known as Homura please."
"Grr" the elder with glasses started mumbling.
"Yes sir!" exclaimed Naruto laughing a bit at the old man's expense,
Naruto did the needed hand seals and transformed into an almost perfect copy of Homura.
"Acceptable" stated an annoyed Homura who then pinched the bridge of his noose.
"Now please preform a Kawarimi with ANY object you see in this room."
Naruto looked around and spotted an empty chair in the corner and decided to switch with that.
"Now switch back."
He did as Koharu wanted and switched back.
"Now your grades on the other tests practically the written exam was just good enough to the point where you
performing the bushin incorrectly wouldn't really harm your final grade but for records sakes we require you to
do it anyway."
Naruto did the hand seals for the bushin only for his bushin to turn out all icky and gross.
This caused the three elders to stare at each other for a few seconds before Danzo spoke once more.
"Well then... we have only this to tell you Naruto..." as Danzo trailed off Naruto felt himself grow more and
more anxious by the second. Suddenly the three elders spoke in perfect harmony and said
"Congratulations you passed BUT PLEASE WORK ON YOUR BUSHIN!"
Koharu threw a forehead protector at him and he caught it with one hand before tying it around his forehead In
place of his googles which he had forgotten back in his apartment. As soon as he was out the door with the needed paperwork he was whooping and hollering. He couldn't believe it he had actually passed!
'Wait till Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei hears about this 'TTEBAYO!' Naruto was sure they would be very happy for him. After all many of the other academy teachers had openly doubted he would amount to much.
'Ha I'll show 'em who won't amount to much!'
Naruto was too far gone in his thoughts to realize he had just walked right past the original exam classroom until a yell finally broke him out of his thoughts.
"OI OI! Naruto you passed the classroom door!"
'Eh?' thought Naruto as he turned around and saw a black haired boy he remembered being called Shinya
standing just outside the open entrance to a classroom. Next to him stood the examiner from earlier snickering.
Naruto quickly backpedalled towards the pair and started laughing.
"Oh whoops! Heh dang guess I was too caught up in the excitement of passing to remember to always take in my surroundings eh? Ha-ha!"
said Naruto as he spotted Hibachi walking down the hall wearing a forehead protector
where his old beanie used to be, said beanie was currently being stuffed into one of the pockets of the ten year olds khaki's shorts.
Both Naruto and Shinya waited a second for Hibachi to join them before they both stepped foot back into the classroom full of chatting kid's. As they entered Shinya laughed at Naruto's explanation and said
"Heh don't worry about it, It happens to the best of us at one point or another."
His reply made Naruto smirk and say
"Ha true that true that!"
As Shinya was about to respond a voice screamed out from one of the nearby desk,
"What the! HOW THE YAMI DID THE DOBE PASS AND I DIDN'T?"
Naruto, Hibachi and Shinya looked over towards the direction of the voice and saw that it was a boy with
blonde hair and brown eyes named Shintaro who appeared to be quite mad.
"Hey! What's going on over there!?" yelled out one of the examiners from earlier from the other side of the room who had been interrupted in the middle of saying a name. Shintaro smirked and said loudly "I'll tell you what's going on! Uzumaki Naruto the dead last of my class has stolen a forehead protector from somewhere because there's absolutely no way he could have passed the test!"
Muttering erupted among several groups of the younger new graduates as well as those who didn't graduate.
Many of them didn't bother with being discrete with what they were talking about.
"Yo hey isn't that the kid mom told us to stay away from?"
"Hey Yeah! Yeah it is!"
"How could they allow him to pass? I thought he was a monster At least that's what dad always said!?"
"Oi man the older generation must be getting sterile if they let him of all people become a shinobi."
"I heard he killed a bunch of people once."
"Well I heard that he was the reason that Hyuga girl was kidnapped a few years ago."
"Well I heard he was the one who really killed off the Uchiha clan and Sasuke-kun's aniki Itachi-kun got placed with the blame and was forced to abandon the village!"
"Ugh How.."
"Troublesome"
With each loud mutter many of the older kid's observed Naruto shoulders dripping and his smile fading.
'Ok we need to do something about this'
Thought a chunin right before he blew into his whistle.
"Again with the Whistle!" shouted the same girl who complained earlier about the same thing. She much to her annoyance was promptly ignored.
"Everybody! shut up! Uzumaki Naruto passed fair and square if he hadn't then what makes you think he would have had the needed paper work hm?"
"He could have stolen it!" yelled a male from the right side of the room.
"Yeah what Yoshi said Naruto could have stolen it!" yelled out another boy this time on the left side of the
room. There were several shouts of "Yeah's!" following his statement which came from kids throughout the room.
This caused a few of the proctors to start laughing.
"Ha please like a brat like him could steal anything without getting caught" said a jonin.
"Exactly I didn't steal it I Can even prove it to! See those three old geezers signed some of my paper work
before I left the testing room!" yelled Naruto not realizing the dig the female jonin had made towards him.
Hibachi and Shinya both glanced at Naruto's paperwork and indeed there printed on the paper were the signatures of all three of the Hokage's advisors.
After walking over and examining the papers one jonin declared it to be legitimate.
"See even proctor-san said it's legit! I bet Your all just jealous of the fact that I passed and you didn't." yelled
Naruto pointing towards Shintaro who hmphed before turning back to his friend who had managed to pass.
"Ooookay if Hibachi, Shinya and Naruto would sit down somewhere we can continue on with our exam's."
Shinya grabbed ahold of both Naruto and Hibachi and lead them towards where he was sitting with a few older kids from the Akimichi clan who had various bags of chips at their disposals.
A sweet looking jonin by the name of Tsubaki was about to call out the next two names on her list when one of the examinees yelled out
" What the hell Shintaro!"
Tsubaki looked up and spotted said blonde as well as several other boys doing various things many of which went against the exams rules.
'Damnit not again' she thought to herself.
"Ouch!" Exclaimed Shintaro and his group of friends As they were violently shoved against the walls by a few proctors.
" I am really getting sick of your behavior" exclaimed Shimon as he held up a kunai to Shintaro's throat.
"Yo h-he-hey man just relax what did we ever do-do to-to yu-yu-yu-you!" Squeaked out Shintaro absolutely terrorfied While his friends simply frozed stunned.
" Your behavior is absolutely unbecoming of a shinobi..YOUR BEHAVIOR IS WHAT GETS YOU AND YOUR TEAM KILLED ON A MISSION...ugh you know what?"
"Wh-wh-what?"
"I WANT YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS OUT OF HERE I DONT CARE IF YOU HAVENT TAKEN THE FINAL EXAM YET OR NOT I WANT YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT RIGHT THIS DAMN MINUTE!" exclaimed Shimon right before he flung the boy towards the door.
Shintaro was quickly joined by a few of his friends's.
One of the boys yelled out " but what about the exams?"
"YOU FUCKED UP YOUR CHANCES TO BECOME A GENIN WHEN YOU DECIDED TO BREAK THE RULES!"
"What rule did we break!" Yelled a raven haired boy.
"RULE #23 NO HORSEPLAYING OR BULLYING ALLOWED! ALL OFFENDERS WHO BREAK THE RULE TWO TIMES SHALL BE THROWN OUT OF THE GENIN EXAMS AND NOT ALLOWED TO RETRY FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF FIFTH-TEEN MONTHS!"
"what!" Screamed the group of boys.
" YOU HEARD ME! NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY CLASSROOM!"
'Ha maybe we will be able finish the exams now!'
Tsubaki called out the next two names on the list.
"Up next is Yamanaka, Azami and Yamanaka, Shiro."
It took five minutes for the shock of what just happen to ware off most of the civilian born kids.
It took that plus twenty five minutes for the rest of the students to take the final part of their exam's.
After the last two people on the list re-entered the classroom with a forehead protector strapped to their shoulder
and forehead the head proctor cleared his throat in hopes of regaining the children's attentions. After three
minutes the kids finally quieted down.
"Ok ok class settle down now, settle down now to those who have succeeded in passing let me just say
congratulations on your achievement. To those who failed let this be a lesson to you as well as a motivator and
a reason to become stronger and learn more so that next time you take the exams you will be able to pass."
Before he could say anymore the bell signally the end of the school day started ringing signaling the end of the exam's.
