Disclaimer: Really? Really? I don't own Naruto and never will. How unfortunate. The End.

I accepted a challenge a while ago from Jd-103. This story is mainly about Naruto having the Crystal Release like Guren. On with the story.

Somewhere far away from Konohagakure

She lifted a camellia to her face and took a deep whiff. She moved over the scattered bodies and wiped the blood off her kunai. She never tossed a look behind her as the sounds of battle drifted behind her. She let a tear escape her eyes as she watched her home village become soaked in red. She held herself as she tried blocking out the screams of the women and children. She wanted this. She wanted to be accepted.

This was a chance of a lifetime. It was worth a few lives.

Or that's what she kept telling herself.

Back in Konohagakure

Naruto's eyes were pierced with light as the sun peeked into his bedroom. His ocean blue eyes shot open as he shoved the covers off him. Unfortunately, he trapped over his feet, causing him to crash into his door with a yelp. The blonde stared at the clock noticing the 8:15 in big bold numbers.

"Crap!"

The blonde haired boy rushed to the bathroom and pulled on a random pair of orange khakis and his favorite orange shirt as he brushed his teeth. He felt himself choke on the toothpaste as he eyed the clock. Grabbing his blue hitai-ate and a banana, he rushed out the door forgetting two major things. His shoes. And Gama-chan.

"Crap!"

The academy gates were closing and Naruto could have sworn the gate keepers began closing them even faster when they noticed him running towards the gates. In a desperate mad dash, he "accidentally" stepped on a random chunin's head, and flipped himself over the wall. If anyone had walked by they probably would have described Naruto as a midget orange flash.

8:25

Naruto moved past everyone in an orange blur. He gave a yelp when he tripped over a certain Nara. Said Nara only raised an eyebrow and smoothed out his pineapple hairstyle and gave Naruto the 'evil lazy eye' before dozing off again. Naruto yelled a few choice words to the sleeping boy and took a seat in the far back next to Shino.

Outside in the Hallway

Iruka walked past the other classrooms feeling the package in his hands grow even heavier.

Could he do it?

Could he send these children out on the battlefield or send them on their way to become mindless killers? Would he be able to sleep at night knowing these children were being turned into mini versions of their sensei *cough* Kakashi *cough*… ?

It was clear that this was not Iruka's favorite this wasn't his first year as an academy teacher, but that didn't mean that it was any easier. He passed kids who he thought would survive long after him, when they died some months later after graduating. He took a moment to stand outside the door weighing the package in his hands before gathering himself for a minute. He felt his hand turning the knob and sealing the fates of the children and himself inside.

Inside the classroom

Unlike the gloomy Iruku, Naruto could not wait for his team assignment. Shino compared the bond prankster to a five-year-old child high off six bottles of coke with a dash of saké mixed in. The moment Iruka walked in, Shino sworn that Naruto's face went still and those blue eyes softened and mellowed for a second, but Naruto flashed Shino that foxy grin of his when he noticed him staring.

"Good luck Shino-san." Naruto said.

"Good luck to you as well Uzumaki-san."

Down in the front, Iruka mused to himself, watching each face before reading off the team assignments. They listen for the team assignments but not for my lectures. He mused to himself. Taking deep breath, he began reading off the teams.

"Team 1…."

"Team 7 will be Sakura Haruno, Kiba Inuzuka, and Sasuke Uchiha. Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake. Team 8 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Shino Aburame, and Shikamaru Nara. Your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi."

"Team 9 is still active so we'll move to Team 10. Team 10 is Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, and Hinata Hyuga. Your sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi. I wish everyone the best of luck."

End scene for chapter one. Chapter two should be out soon. Ja né!

EDIT:5/26/2015 I added a scene and fixed some grammatical errors.
