(9 years after the Kyuubi attack, Shinobi Academy)
In the back of the class room, there was a blonde individual. The boy had a black hooded jacket whose sleeves stopped just below the elbows, a long sleeve dark grey shirt that covered most of his hands, but had a thumbhole, making it like a built in fingerless glove, ANBU style pants, with black leather combat boots. He also had a dark grey face-mask connected to his shirt, which covered up his mouth and nose, leaving only his eyes to be seen. Bright blue eyes.
This individual was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, the supposed dead last and ghost of the class. He never spoke unless spoken to, and even then it was with short and blunt answers. Though he was dead last for a personal reason. If he wanted, he could easily be rookie of the year, but instead he made himself look like a dead last.
'Those perceived as weak are underestimated and left alone more often. Those who are stronger are seen as threats that must be eradicated' the boy thought. Iruka was droning on about team work, when Iruka told everybody to head outside for taijutsu spars, where Chakra was allowed as long as no Jutsu were used.
The blonde ignored the first few fights, and spaced out until he was called up to fight.
"Inuzuka Kiba versus Uzumaki Naruto! Hajime!" Iruka called out, stepping away. Kiba sneered at the silent boy. He had just crossed the line and was in for a brutal defeat because of what he just said.
"I'll destroy you, you piece of trash! Your own parents abandoned you because you were trash!" Kiba roared, and rushed towards Naruto, who fell into his stance.
"Kaiju style: brick break: defensive stance," Naruto said, surprising everybody. The blonde spread his feet apart, folded his arms out in front of himself, and waited for Kiba to attack. He didn't have to wait long. Kiba sent a fist aimed at the blonde's face, but Naruto stepped to the side and attacked.
Because of his folded arms position, he could attack with rapid punches. He sent a few punches enhanced with chakra. The Inuzuka was sent flying from the power of those punches. Before he landed, Naruto fell into a new stance and spoke again.
"Swift release: Kaiju style: dancing rapid brutality," Naruto stated, shocking everybody about the swift release. The boy held one arm in front of himself, fist hanging limp, and the other arm by his side, leaning forwards. The boy disappeared in a blur. He appeared next to Kiba midair, and slammed his fists repeatedly down on the Inuzuka. The dog boy crashed to the ground, and was about to get up when get got slammed back down with a brutal drop kick. Naruto was about to attack again when Iruka stopped him.
"Stop! Sosha Uzumaki Naruto!" Iruka shouted, as he hurried over to the fallen student.
'What was that? What did he mean by swift release? What is this Kaiju style he has shown and why hide it all this time?' Iruka thought. The other academy students backed out of the blonde's way as he walked back to class. On the way through a dark haired boy stopped him. 'What the hell Sasuke get out of my way,' Naruto thought.
"Fight me," Sasuke said. Naruto ignored him and continued walking. He walked right past Sasuke.
A second later he ducked and dodged a punch from Sasuke. Naruto turned around, stood up, and muttered something.
"What was that, dobe?" Sasuke asked, before Naruto blurred out of his sight.
In truth, Naruto did a very simple genjutsu. While it was the only one he could do, it was good enough. He first made it when he was younger, to escape mobs. The genjutsu makes it so all that fall under it no longer see the caster of the genjutsu. Basically, it makes the user invisible.
(Three years later)
Naruto was still mostly ignored in class, but he no longer was dead last. However, he did move his place of residence. No longer living where civilians might find him was a requirement for him. Naruto had made a very small cave in the Hokage Mountain, which was only accessible through the fourth Hokage's right eye, where a hole big enough for a full grown adult being the door.
Over the years, he had gotten better at becoming un-noticeable. The only places that people even noticed Naruto at were at the academy and at Ichiraku Ramen, and even then it was hard to notice Naruto. In class, he wasn't dead-last nor rookie of the year, but average. Nobody seems to think average is out of place or noticeable, so Naruto went with average. Though almost everybody in the class didn't want to fight him in taijutsu.
Today, however, were the final exams to see who would become genin. Naruto had passed with an average score of course. Currently, team placements were taking place.
"Team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Narumi Namikaze-Uzumaki, and Hinata Hyuga. Report to the Hokage tower right away to meet your jounin sensei." Iruka droned on. Naruto was curious as to who this 'Narumi' person is, but he would find out later. He walked over to Hinata and tapped her on the shoulder.
"We should go meet our sensei, come on," Naruto spoke quietly, but loud enough for Hinata to hear him. She nodded and got up. With that Naruto and Hinata left the academy, to the Hokage tower.
(At the tower)
Naruto and Hinata walked into the Hokage's office, but instead of finding the third Hokage, a blonde haired man that looked to be in his early forties was sitting in the Hokage's chair, along with two other people standing on either side of him.
The first looked to be the same age as the man, a red haired woman, while the second looked to be Naruto's age, a girl with red hair, who seemed to be a carbon copy of the red haired woman.
The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood off a few feet away from the trio of strangers.
"Hello Naruto, Hinata, this girl here is Narumi Namikaze-Uzumaki, and the woman is Kushina Namikaze-Uzumaki. The man is the fourth Hokage," Hiruzen stated, but was finished by Naruto.
"Minato Namikaze," The boy whispered, wide eyed. Kushina and Minato smiled.
"Hello son," Minato said. Naruto gained a confused look on his face.
"What do you mean, Hokage-sama? I am an orphan," Naruto stated.
"No, if that were true, Kushina-chan and I would be dead. Hiruzen, did Jiraiya and Tsunade not tell Naruto?" Minato asked, anger visible in his eyes while Kushina deflated.
"No… Naruto has probably no clue who they are."
Silence filled the room. Hinata just backed up until she felt the door, and then exited quickly. Naruto's eyes widened after he processed that bit of info. Pain and anger entered his eyes, but he switched to his emotionless mask.
"Jiraiya and Tsunade of the Sannin, two of the three legendary trio that the third Hokage taught," Naruto said.
Kushina rushed around the table and pulled Naruto into a hug, but Naruto just stood there as if nothing was happening.
Narumi decided to speak up. "I think we broke Nii-san."
Naruto twitched for a moment, and broke out of Kushina's arms. He dashed towards the door, but was blocked by Minato. Naruto turned and sprinted for the window, and broke it as he jumped out. During the free fall, Naruto threw out a few shuriken with scythe shaped blades with wires attached towards the wall.
The shuriken hit the wall, and pulled Naruto to the wall. Naruto ripped the shuriken out of the wall and used chakra to glide down the wall. Once Naruto hit the ground, he sprinted off to his home.
A/N section
I need to name these weirdly shaped shuriken that have wires attached to them…. Just so you guys know, I'm not into the whole Naruto stays angry at his parents forever, but he can be angry for a time, as long as it's not obnoxiously long. If you guys can come up with a name for Naruto's special shuriken, please leave a review and let me know.
Anyways, bye!
