Naruto Uzumaki had finished training and was sweating; he was tossed a towel by a gorgeous tanned red head. Her hair was shoulder length and in a ponytail, she also had red eyes and slight whiskers. She was dressed in red T-shirt, black bike shorts and sandals. "Nice job Naruto," she said. "Now, you need to get going if you want to make the test." Naruto nodded and got cleaned up, and then he headed of the academy.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Naruto walked to the door and knocked on the door; Iruka had opened the door and saw Naruto. The boy was dressed in a black T-shirt, red shorts and a short sleeved jacket and sandals. He hand the teacher a note and he read it, "okay. Come in, we going over what is going to be on the finals. He walked in and sat at his desk, just then one of the students spoke up.

"Why do we have to come in here everyday and Naruto-baka just waltz right in?" She had long pink hair and green eyes; she was dressed in a long red dress and black shorts and sandals. Iruka sighed and was about to answer but, Naruto interrupted him.

"I'll field this one sensei," he said. "Why do I waltz in here?" He pointed at Mizuki, "be cause of that asshole over there. Yeah I'm talking about you ass face! Anyway, I got permission from the hokage to train with my own hand picked sensei and then come here to take lessons with the rest of you."

"You lying!"

"How Sakura? How am I lying?" He shut her up and Iruka continued the lesson.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

After class, Naruto was on his way to the Namikaze compound and his sensei was waiting on him. "How was school?" She said.

"It was alright," he said. "We went over what was going to be on the test tomorrow." Then a young woman walked in, she had long black hair and dark eyes. She was dressed in a gray shirt, a black skirt, sandals and a trench coat. She was also lightly tanned; she walked over to Naruto and grabbed him with an arm around his shoulders.

"Hey Naru-kun," she said. "So you think you going to be rookie of the year?"

"I don't know Sou-nee-chan. With the way I'm treated, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to fail me, again."

"Don't worry Naru-kun; you are going to pass this time." Said his sensei.

"I hope so, Kyu-bba-san. I hope so."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The next morning Naruto was ready for his test and got to the academy early. Then he sat down and started to meditate to relax his mind. That was when Iruka had come into the room. "Good morning Iruka-sensei," he said.

"Good morning Naruto, so are you ready for the test today?"

"I hope so." Then the other students started to come in to the room and the test started. Naruto was perfect so far and Mizuki was getting mad.

'I need to find a way to fail him!' he thought. Then it came to him, 'the clones! He can't do one; I know he'll fail this one!' So they set it up and got ready for the final test.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Okay Naruto," said Iruka. "You need three clones to pass." Naruto nodded just then he was surrounded by three seal clones. Mizuki's jaw hit the ground and Iruka had looked proud of him. Just then Mizuki leapt up and slammed his hands on the table.

"YOU FAIL!" He screamed.

"Why? Because you say so?" Said Naruto.

"He's right; you're not the head teacher Mizuki." Said Iruka.

"SHUT UP DEMON LOVER!" Mizuki leapt over the table to attack and Naruto spun kicked him right across the jaw sending him to the wall. Then he leapt and slammed his foot into Mizuki's back. Then slammed his face into the wall constantly, breaking his face. Then Naruto pulled out a radio and called in ANBU they came and took him to go see Ibiki.

Then the Hokage came in, "thank you for exposing the traitor Naruto. You too Iruka," he said. They bowed to him, "this will be an A-ranked mission and you will be paid for it."

"Thank you Hokage-sama," they said.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Later Iruka was in front of the class and read out the test scores. "Well, looks like rookie of the year was decided by one point." He said everyone was surprised. "Sasuke Uchiha was perfect through out the whole year." His fan club cheered for him, "but he isn't the rookie of the year." They were shocked, "that title rightfully belongs to Naruto Uzumaki." Everyone looked at Naruto, how could the dead last, in their minds, become rookie of the year? Sakura was hot she stood up and stomped over to Naruto.

"YOU CHEATED! YOU KNOW YOU DID!"

"Two things Haruno, first: we are ninja. It's in the rulebook; second: if you can't prove it, it didn't happen." He said calmly, "Now go back and sit next to the 'second best'." Sakura looked like she was about to pop a blood vein on her huge forehead and stormed off.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Naruto went home; his brand new headband proudly on his head and the villagers just stared in shock. Once he walked on to the Namikaze grounds, someone saw him and got the others attention. They cheered for Naruto becoming a ninja, and then Kyu went over to him. "Did you do it?" She said, Naruto nodded she grabbed to boy and lifted him up in a huge hug. They went to the manor for a huge celebration.
