Hey everyone! As promised here comes my new stories! This is the first Naruto one that I decided to come up with. I don't plan on writing too many at once, maybe two. This way each story will be updated a lot more often and you don't have to wait too long between updates. So a lot has happened like I said involving a move 2100 miles from home where I have no friends and no family. So I figured why not devote my time to writing again? I really missed it and now I have a new computer and a lot of time! So here goes nothing. Bear in mind that some of these ideas will be the same as old stories but will be better written.
Chapter 1
Today was Naruto's 12th birthday, today was also the day he was going to return to his home of Konoha and be placed on a genin team with two others his age.
"Are you excited to be going back to the village?" A small orange toad asked as he went up to the blonde with his brother in tow.
"I'm not sure really, I lived here all my life so I don't have any memories of the place." Naruto said with a sigh, not really wanting to leave his friends. You see Naruto was brought to Mount Myoboku when he was born to be raised by the toads and Jiraiya. Jiraiya knew that the villagers would treat Naruto badly due to what he contained inside him.
"You ready to go kid? The Hokage is looking forward to seeing you again after all of these years and the team assignments are going to be happening soon." Jiraiya asked him
"I guess, I'm going to miss this place. Thank everyone for me one last time will you kichi?" Naruto asked hopeful.
"You got it boss, don't forget to summon us if you need anything." Naruto nodded and he and Jiraiya were reversed summoned by ma right into the Hokage's office.
"Is that you Naruto-Chan? I haven't seen you since the day after you were born, how are you doing?" The Hokage asked as they appeared completely ignoring Jiraiya. Naruto was doting black anbu style pants with a red and orange stripe running down each side. He also had black shinobi sandals, a kunai holster on each leg, a black jacket with the same stripes running down each arm and an orange zipper, an Uzumaki swirl on his back (Think Naruto the last jacket), and a band with the kanji symbol for oil on his arm.
"I'm good Hokage-jiji, thank you for all of the gifts you sent me on my birthdays. It is nice to finally meet you after all these years." Naruto responded politely making the Hokage very happy.
"Here is a headband for you, black just like your fathers. Why don't you head on over to the Academy? It is right next to here so you won't have to worry about getting lost. The team assignments should be happening soon and you don't want to miss out on meeting your new team mates." The Third Hokage suggested.
"Hai, I'll be on my way then." Once Naruto exited the room Hiruzen was ready to start questioning Jiraiya.
"He looks so much like his father it's uncanny. How much does he know?" Hiruzen questioned.
"He knows that he is the jailer of the Nine Tailed Fox as well as his heritage. He also knows that it is dangerous to tell anyone until he is strong enough to defend himself. For his skills? Well I won't reveal those on him, I'll let you watch him yourself and see how he does. He is definitely at least chunin in skill level." Jiraiya told him.
"He's just like his parents at his age isn't he?" Hiruzen said to no one in particular.
At the Academy
"Everyone quiet down!" Iruka yelled to the rather rowdy class.
"Hai Iruka-sensei!" The class called out causing Naruto who seated himself in the back to chuckle a little.
"Here are the team assignments. Team one will be …" This went on until he finally got to team 7.
"Team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno." Iruka said and was about to continue until he was rudely interrupted.
"Take that Ino! True love prevails after all!" Sakura said while giving her the peace sign and sticking out her tongue causing the blonde to glare and pout at her.
'Great a fan girl.' Naruto and Sasuke both thought at the same time, while the rest of the class was wondering who the heck Naruto Uzumaki was.
"Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."
"Um Iruka-sensei there isn't a Naruto Uzumaki in our class?" Sakura asked very confused.
"He moved here recently from another village." Iruka explained and Sakura seemed content enough with that explanation and didn't press any further.
"Team 8 will be Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka your sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi, team 9 is still in rotation so team 10 will be Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi and Ino Yamanaka and your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi. Your sensei will be here shortly so good luck to you all and it has been a pleasure teaching all of you." With that Iruka left the classroom to leave everyone to chat amongst themselves. Soon all the teams were picked up by their sensei and only team 7 was left to wait.
"So you're Naruto? I don't care as long as you don't slow me down." The Uchiha asked with a grunt.
"Yup that's me! So you're the last Uchiha that I heard about? You don't have to worry about me slowing you down, just the opposite actually. I hope you two can keep up with me, I've been training since I can remember with my godfather." Naruto told him with a grin, not wanting to give away too much information.
"Hn, we will see about that." The Uchiha said with a smirk knowing a clanless fool like Naruto could never be as strong as he was let alone stronger.
'Sasuke-kun is so cool! No way can that Naruto guy stand anywhere close to my Sasuke-kun.' A certain pink haired banshee thought to herself while daydreaming about her Sasuke.
About 2 hours passed and their sensei finally showed up.
"You must be team 7, my first impression of you guys is that I hate you. Meet me on the roof in 5 minutes." Kakashi then poofed out of existence. Sasuke and Sakura went up to the roof while Naruto waited until they were out of the room and shushined out of the room to meet Kakashi.
"So you were my father's student?" Naruto asked figuring it was safe since his team mates were nowhere in ear shot quite yet.
"So you are aware of who your parents are? To answer your question yes I was on his genin team. He was a great sensei and Hokage. You look just like him with the way you have your hair." Kakashi told him with a smile. Naruto had two bangs that hung over his headband just like his father had his hair. Unfortunately that was all Kakashi could say since Sakura and Sasuke had appeared.
"How did you get up here so fast?" Sasuke demanded.
"That is none of your concern right now, not until I know I can trust you." Naruto told him calmly.
"Naruto-baka! You better tell us right now how you did it! Sasuke-kun should know the technique or whatever it was not you!" Sakura yelled at seemed to be the top of her lungs.
"Come on now that is enough. Let's get on with some introductions so we can get to know each other a bit more." Kakashi suggested.
"Um Kakashi-sensei could you go first to show us how it's done?" Sakura asked dumbly causing everyone around her to internally face palm.
"Ok fine. My name is Kakashi Hatake, I like many things," Kakashi started "My dislikes are too many to list, as for hobbies? Well that's not appropriate for you guys. Dreams for the future? Well I never really thought about it. You're up pinky." Kakashi said with an eye smile causing the three genin to deadpan.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like," stops and giggles while looking at Sasuke "I dislike Ino-pig and anyone who gets in the way of my love for Sasuke, my hobbies are" again stops and giggles and Sasuke "and my dreams for the future is to…" Yet again stops and giggles at Sasuke while squirming excitedly.
'Great a useless fangirl.' They all thought to themselves.
"Ok you're up broody."
"Hn. My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like many things and I hate too many things to list but at the top are fangirls." Causing Sakura to frown a little but didn't faze her much more than that. "My hobbies I guess are training. Also I don't have a dream for the future but rather an ambition that will happen. My goal is to kill a certain someone and avenge and restore my clan." Sasuke said in a monotone voice.
'Sasuke-kun is so cool!' Sakura screamed inwardly.
'Great I'm stuck with a brooding asshole/avenger and a pink haired banshee, how could this get any worse?' Naruto thought to himself.
"Blondie you're up."
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, toads, training and my godfather who raised me since I was born. My dislikes? I guess those who look down on others, fangirls and brooding assholes. Hobbies would be training, reading fuinjutsu books and trying new ramen flavors. Dreams for the future? I guess I never really thought about that. I guess become the strongest shinobi ever and surpass my parents and godfather." Naruto decided receiving a nod of approval from Kakashi and confused looks from his team mates.
"Who are your parents and godfather Naruto?" Sakura asked curiously for once not screeching.
"Well I can't disclose that information right now, sorry. Once I know I can trust you I will tell you, maybe." Naruto told them with a smirk, causing both of them to get pissed off even if Sasuke wouldn't show it he was curious too.
"Well that is enough for today. Why don't you all go home and get ready for tomorrow." Kakashi suggested.
"What's tomorrow Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto questioned eager to find out what their first mission would be.
"Tomorrow we find out if you have what it takes to be genin."
"But Kakashi-sensei! We already became genin, what are you talking about?" Sakura screeched being completely confused.
"The test you took in the academy? That was to weed out those who didn't stand a chance. Tomorrow's test has a 66 percent failure rate, meaning only 3 teams from your graduating class will continue on as genin." Kakashi said causing the young students to gulp.
"That's not fare! We worked so hard to get to this point!" Sakura yelled yet again.
"Life as a shinobi isn't fair Sakura. Be here tomorrow at 6am sharp, also I suggest you don't eat dinner or you will throw it up." Kakashi then left in a poof of smoke leaving the three ninja hopefuls to themselves.
"Sasuke-kun do you maybe want to go on a date with me?" Sakura asked while twirling her hair with her pointer finger.
"No and stop asking me." Sasuke said as he walked away.
"If you want Sakura, I'll go get dinner with you as a team mate. You aren't my type but hey, we should get to know each other so we can work well together." Naruto offered, trying to cheer up his team mate.
"Absolutely not! My heart only belongs to Sasuke-kun!" Then she stormed off.
'Well I might as well follow the directions I received to my new apartment with Jiraiya-sennin.' Naruto decided.
At the apartment
Naruto opened the door to find Jiraiya sitting at the kitchen table writing those perverted books of his.
"Ah Naruto-gaki your back! How was your first day?" Jiraiya questioned as Naruto made his way to sit down and join his godfather.
"It was ok, though my team could be better. I got teamed with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, and our sensei who was 2 hours late is Kakashi Hatake." Naruto told him unhappily.
"I heard the Uchiha kid was at the top of his class along with the Haruno. Also Kakashi was your father's student so you should be happy." Jiraiya told him sternly.
"Yeah, maybe. Well I'm off to bed I have to be at training ground 7 early in the morning, night Pervy Sage." Naruto told him as he then walked to his room.
"What did I say about calling me that brat!" Jiraiya yelled comically to deaf ears since Naruto was long gone.
