Naruto could be called many things, dead last, dobe, loser, lord seventh, but today he was about to be known as a hero that has passed as he was slowly dieing while stumbling back to the village. Once he arrived at the village gates he collapsed and felt his strength fading. 'Well I guess this is it kurama' thought Naruto.

'Not yet kit I promise you will live but you need to think of a happy memorie from your past as I use your body to use one final jutsu' said Kurama.

"Ok" responded Naruto as he handed control of his body to kurama.

As kurama was running through handsigns naruto thought of the day he graduated. Kurama finished running through handsigns. "Time space style: time travel past" called out Kurama as he looked to Hinata who just showed up crying. "Don't worry I'll take care of the kit for you and make sure you two still get together" said kurama as The colour left Naruto's eyes indicating his soul left his body, causing Hinata to cry even more.

...

Naruto woke up and noticed the walls of his old apartment. "Well looks like the jutsu worked buddy" said Naruto as he stretched noticing he was in his old twelve year old body. "I wonder if I am still able to use some of the jutsu from my future?" Naruto asked himself as he tried to create a rasengan in his hand only for it to be twice the size he wanted. Then he tried to add wind as he had mastered his Jutsu while he was Hokage. The screeching from the jutsu shattered the windows in his apartment so naruto canceled the jutsu while absorbing the chakra before thinking about one of own creations. "Plasma style miniature planet jutsu" said naruto as he created a planet the size of his rasengan in his hand before turning it to dust using a reverse version of plasma style.

Naruto looked at the time. "Crap I'm going to be late if I don't hurry" said naruto as he quickly got dressed and ran out the door.

Fifteen minutes of running later naruto arrived in Iruka's class. "Sorry I'm late Iruka-sensei" said Naruto.

"Well seeing as I was just about to call your name I'll let it slide now sit down" said Iruka. "Now as I was going to say today is your graduation day but lord third decided yesterday to change the test this year to the taijutsu, ninjutsu, and shurikenjutsu" said Iruka before he left the room to go set up the test room.

Naruto walked up to Hinata with a blush. "H-hey Hinata-chan c-can I sit next to you" stuttered Naruto causing Hinata to eep but nod.

"Naruto why aren't you sitting next to "your Sakura-chan"?"asked Shikamaru knowing how a couple of days ago Naruto was fawning over Sakura.

"Easy Hinata-chan never hits or abuses me Hinata-chan is an Angel compared to that Banshee and I feel ashamed for not noticing it before" said Naruto as he looked at Hinata. "Would you like to hang out after team practices once our teams are put together? I was thinking of taking you to Ichiraku ramen to celebrate" Naruto said to Hinata.

Hinata's face proceeded to turn red. 'D-d-did Naruto-kun just ask me out?' Thought Hinata before she fainted.

'She sure is cute' thought Naruto.

Soon Hinata woke up and it just happened to be her turn to do her test. "Good luck Hinata-chan" said Naruto as Hinata left the room. Naruto then laid his head on the desk tuning out the world till his name was called.

"Naruto Uzumaki time to do the test follow me" said Mizuki as he led Naruto to the test room.

As Naruto walked in he noticed a small circle on the floor then training dummies in the back of the room. "Now naruto to pass you need to at least last ten seconds against mizuki, get a seven out of ten for the shuriken and Kunai test, and finally use the transformation, substitution and clone jutsu's" said Iruka.

Naruto stepped in the ring with a smirk. "Why are you smiling?" Asked Mizuki.

"Because I get to show you why deception is a ninjas greatest tool" said Naruto as he disappeared before kicking Mizuki in the back sending him out of the ring. Naruto then looked at iruka and smiled before asking him and Mizuki to stand in front of the training dummies while leaving just enough room for the shuriken and kunai to curve and hit. Once Naruto threw all ten shuriken and after all ten kunai then ten senbon all the weapons curved around the Iruka and Mizuki before deflecting off one another and hitting the targets for a 10/10 in each weapon.

"Ok naruto you know the three jutsu and well you can do one as an extra credit" said iruka.

Naruto proceeded to transform into the third Hokage before using the substitution jutsu with Mizuki and finally over cooking the clone jutsu even though he made 100 defective clones. "I'm sorry naruto but you fail" said Iruka.

"But sensei how can someone with above kage level reserves and almost no control be able to use a basic clone when that would need a tiny amount of chakra? I dare you to try to pick up only one grain of sand out of all of suna without picking up more then that. It is next to impossible, but doesn't mean I didn't think of anything to replace that" said naruto as he ran through a few handsigns. "Plasma clone jutsu" said naruto as a clone appeared in a ray of colours.

"well I guess I can pass you as the Hokage didn't specify if it had to be the basic clone jutsu but what is this plasma style?" Asked Iruka.

"It's an element I created by mixing fire, lightning, wind and earth in certain portions" said Naruto. "It also takes more then half of my chakra to create this clone" said naruto causing Iruka's jaw to drop. Mizuki started to think about ways to use that against the village.

"How did you learn about elemental jutsu or even elemental chakra?" Asked Iruka.

"Well I did sneak into the shinobi library since I'm not allowed in the other one and borrowed a book on chakra and it's different types. It stated that there were five basic elements; fire, wind, water, lightning, and earth. Then sub elements; wood, ice, boil, steam, lava and magnet. Then there were two which are almost impossible to learn or master as they were the basics of chakra its self; yin and yang" said Naruto. "Particle style is the elements of fire and lightning creating a solid earth like substance through lots of pressure if used improperly I think it could create a black hole as if I put to much chakra into it it will make it implode and no one wants that so I kinda tried a shortcut and focused on only using enough to create a clone" said naruto.

Iruka nodded then tossed a headband to naruto who caught it before walking back to the classroom where Hinata noticed he passed. "Now class I will see you in four days for team placements" said Iruka before he walked out the door and headed to the Hokage tower deciding to get some air after seeing Naruto's jutsu.

"Hey naruto that jutsu you created is on a Jonin level as such I have a special test that will help you get a promotion to jonin" said Mizuki after finding naruto on the swing.

"Ok what do I do" naruto asked deciding to play along.

"You need to meet me out by the tool shed outside the west gate tonight after sneaking into the Hokage tower and picking up the forbidden scroll without being seen" said Mizuki.

"Ok see you there" said Naruto with a smile as now he would have an explanation for the shadow clone and his knowledge of kurama.
