Summary: Naruto is the last of the Uzumaki Line; the protectors of Konoha's Forest, the young boy most now face his destiny and restore the Ancient Line of Protectors. How can a boy face this challenge with everyone working against him?
Chapter One: Uzumaki Naruto
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was deep inside of the forest that surrounded Konohagakure. His face was calm yet very stern as he faced a blond boy that stood before him. The boy was at least twelve years old dressed in nothing but long black pants; however, he gave of the appearance of a fifteen year old. The boy's body was strong and muscular; his eyes were an intense blue, and his cheeks were adorned with three whisker marks each.
"Uzumaki Naruto" said Sarutobi, "You are the last of the Uzumaki Line. Most have forgotten that it was the men of your bloodline that protected Konoha and allowed it to flourish".
"I know I'm the last one" said Naruto sadly, "But I will follow in my forefathers footsteps and be a Protector" said the boy calmly.
"I know you will it is what you were born for" said Sarutobi, "You are stronger, faster, more resilient, and deadlier than a normal human. You are the last of the wolves of Konoha you are the natural enemy of all evil that threatens your territory and the people that live in it".
"Despite how the villagers treat me I will always protected them but I get the feeling you didn't call me here to just talk about my duties" said Naruto.
"True, I have reason to believe that there are others like you; if they have inherited your families talents are yet to be known. I have made arrangements to enter you in this years graduating class in the academy". Said Sarutobi calmly.
"And what does the council have to say about this?" questioned Naruto.
"They have no choice but to except my decision when dealing with military matters" said Sarutobi with a wide smile.
"When do I go"?
"Tomorrow at Eight in the morning don't be late; it's the final, Umino Iruka has been informed of your addition to the class" said Sarutobi as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves".
With Sarutobi gone Naruto looked around the clearing to make sure no one was in sight then he sniffed the air.
"Time to go for a run" said the blond.
Naruto closed his eyes and stood in the center of the clearing; his body trembling with tremendous force and for a brief moment it looked as if the boy imploded and then exploded violently. Where Naruto once stood there was now a large black wolf. The wolf appeared to be the three or four times the size of a horse, it has jet black fur, deep golden eyes, and it is a sight to behold.
'Time for a quick run' though Naruto in his large wolf form.

The sun was shining brightly over the village of Konoha; most of the villagers were going on about their daily routine, however, most of the children were heading towards the Shinobi academy. For over twenty years the Academy had taught most of the village's shinobi; warriors of honor and virtue such as the Fourth Hokage and the Twisted and cruel Orochimaru had both began their shinobi careers in this humble school.
Classrooms were already full with students and teachers; some eager to begin and others wishing to simply fall asleep.
Umino Iruka was already in class; he carefully studied the students that stood out in the crowed of students. Hyuuga Hinata was present along with other various clan heirs, Uchiha Sasuke and his fan-girls were present, and sitting at the front of the class was one face he didn't recognize.
'Ah that must be Naruto; wow kids big for someone his age' thought Iruka calmly.
"Welcome back everyone" said Iruka, "It's good to see you all made it for the final".
Iruka called all the names and called the last one with some hesitation, "Uzumaki Naruto".
"Hn, there's no Naruto in our class" said Sasuke, earning many agreements.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto".
As Naruto said those words everyone in the room laid their eyes on him. This was a very tall, very muscular, and very intimidating person. His wild blond hair was dull as if it had lost its shine, he wore a tight muscle shirt that revealed his more than impressive physique, he had on long black cargo pants, black shinobi sandals, and visible on his large bicep was part of a red swirl tattoo.
'Whoa, look at that body' thought a blond haired girl.
'Who does this guy think he is, trying to be cooler than Sasuke-kun' thought a pink haired girl.
"Wait a minute" said Sasuke, "Why is this guy here; he's never been to class so why should he take the graduation final" finished Sasuke his voice harsh and angry.
"That is none of your concern Sasuke, Naruto was placed here by the Hokage himself. If you have a problem of how he conducts business you can go talk to him about" said Iruka, loosing patients with the arrogant boy.
"Now we will begin the final exams" said Iruka, "It will consist of a one-hundred question exam, a physical portion, and finally the jutsu portion".
With those few words Iruka began to distribute the exam. The students quickly began to do their exams knowing full well that their futures did in fact depend on how well they did on these three tests. Over time the room grew empty as students left to begin the other parts of their exam.

A week had passed and Naruto now calmly sat in an academy classroom, his mind and body relaxed. The exams were simple by his standards and it is no surprise to him when he was informed he passed with perfect scores; however what did trouble him were the students of this years graduating class. The Uchiha was arrogant, the Inuzaka was at with pride, the Nara was a sloth, and the Hyuuga girl was too delicate.
'Well lets see who the old man stuck me with' thought Naruto calmly.
"Alright everyone this is our final meeting and I want to say that I'm proud of all of you" said Iruka calmly, "I will be giving you you're team placements and if you don't like who you are paired with there is nothing I can do: the teams were made by the Hokage himself and his decision is final".
'Knowing the old man he made us as balanced as can be to make sure we all stay alive' thought Naruto as he waited to hear his name.
"Team Seven" said Iruka, "Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto; your Jounin Instructor will be Hatake Kakashi".
'So the female runt of the litter, the weakest Uchiha, and some bum I don't even know: fantastic' thought Naruto.
About three hours passed and no sing of their sensei; who ever he was he apparently didn't care much for his future students. Naruto sat next to Sakura who was talking to Sasuke: an attempt to get him to go out with her, an attempt which was failing miserably. Sasuke was glaring at Naruto, Naruto could feel the other boy's anger and frankly he didn't care.
"Sasuke-san, is their a problem, you keep looking at me as if I had wronged you" said Naruto.
"Why would the Hokage place you in our class at the end of the year?"
'So he's starting with the big questions' thought Naruto amusedly.
"If you must know Sasuke-san I was recruited by the Hokage to join the village's shinobi populace; my skills would serve the village rather well" answered Naruto.
"Hey" said Sakura rather angrily, "why do you try to act so cool, you're nowhere near as strong as Sasuke-kun".
"Please" said Naruto, "As if the Uchiha here could touch me; with the mind set he has he will only get himself and anybody around him killed".
Sasuke was about to say something sadly he was interrupted by a strange man who entered the room. He was a strange man who only had one visible eye, silver hair that defied gravity, and to Naruto the man smells strongly of dog.
"Hello" said the man, "I'm Hatake Kakashi please meet me on the academy roof".
With that said Kakashi disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
'I hate it when shinobi do that' thought Naruto.
'That was cool' thought Sakura.
'Hn, so that's the legendary Kakashi' though Sasuke.
The three genin made their way to the roof were Kakashi was calmly waiting for them. The man was an enigma to be sure; Naruto could feel that something was wrong with the man, he smelled of death and agony two very distasteful emotions to say the least.
'Well this is certain to be interesting' thought Naruto.
End Chapter One.
