A/N: This is my first fanfic. There are a few changes to the story as you read along. Kushina isn't dead, she survived giving birth to Naruto. Anko is only three years older than Naruto and she lives with him and Kushina. Itachi is only three years older than Naruto and he doesn't turn evil.For couplings I was thinking of NaruHina NaruSaku NaruIno or NaruAnko. You could give me some suggestions I guess. There might be some slight OOC with other changes. R&R .Oh yea last but not least...

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

'Character thinking'

"Kyuubi Talking"

In Konoha all was peaceful. As the sun arose upon the Village Hidden in Leafs. Yes all was quiet. Until a certain hyperactive blond was ready to start his first learning to be a ninja. That blond was none other than Naruto Uzumaki…

"Kaa-san!!" yelled a hyperactive seven year-old, who was up and ready to start his first day at Ninja Academy. Naruto Uzumaki, even at the age of seven, was still Konoha's number one hyperactive ninja. The young blond rushed to his mother's room where the Kushina Uzumaki was still asleep.

"Kaa-san! Come on get up!" yelled Naruto pushing and tugging his mother to get out of bed.

'Just case he's awake and ready to start the day doesn't mean the rest of Konoha is. Anyway I guess he's excited about his first day at Ninja Academy. Oh well, time to get up!' thought Kushina Uzumaki as she drowsily rose up from her bed.

Naruto had already missed the first week of ninja academy because he was out of the village training with Jiraiya. Or as he preferred to call him Ero-sennin. It was only for two weeks. Though Naruto has been training ever since he was five, Kushina wanted him to be warmed up for the academy.

"Ok. Ok Naruto calm down I'm up" Kushina said to Naruto.

"Kaa-san! Kaa-san! Kaa-san!" cried the young Uzumaki. "I get to start learning to be a ninja today! I'm gonna be a ninja just like tou-san!"

"Yes, Naruto just like tou-san." Kushina smiled at her son.

She had told Naruto many stories about her deceased husband and Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze. Konoha's Yellow Flash. Naruto and Kushina both had the name Uzumaki instead of Namikaze because the Yondiame had many enemies. Even since birth Naruto had had many attempts of his life.

"When I grow up I'm gonna be the greatest Hokage ever! Even greater than tou-san!" exclaimed Naruto. It was Naruto's dream to surpass his father and become the greatest Hokage that ever lived. He had told his mother this many times. Kushina admired him for it.

Naruto's stomach growled. He blushed embarrassed. Kushina giggled.

"You can't learn to be a ninja on an empty stomach. Go take a shower and I'll make some ramen."

As soon as Naruto heard those words he raced out of his mother's bedroom and went to shower.

"Yay! Ramen! Ramen! Ramen!" the young blond chanted as he went down the halls of his house to the bathroom.

'I wonder if all that shouting woke up Anko-chan' Kushina thought

Naruto raced to take a shower until…

"Ow!" Naruto ran into somebody who wasn't really a morning person.

"Watch were you're going, little b aka!" shouted Anko after being run into by Naruto.

"I'm not that little! Your only three years older than me, ugly!"(A/N:Like I said, in this fiction Anko and Itcahi's ages will be changed. And Itachi doesn't turn evil) After saying that Naruto ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

"Ugly? Come back here brat!" Anko started banging on the bathroom door. "Come out and say that again! I dare you!"

'Kami! There those two go again…' thought Kushina "Anko-chan, what happened?" Kushina asked in a calm tone.

"Kushina-sama! That little brat pushed me over and called me ugly!" Anko whined.

"Truth hurts doesn't it!" Naruto yelled as he laughed behind the bathroom door.

"Why you little shi-"

" Calm down Anko. I'm sure Naruto will apologize immediately. CAUSE IF HE DOESN'T! HE'LL BE DEPRIVED OF RAMEN FOR 3 MONTHS!" said Kushina saying the last part loud enough for Naruto to hear it. Suddenly they heard the bathroom door unlock. Out came Naruto trying to put on his 'sweet innocent' Naruto look.

" I'm sorry Anko-chan! Can you please forgive me?" Naruto said giving Anko his innocent look.

"Why should I do that?" replied Anko in an annoyed voice. "You called me ugly!"

"I didn't mean it! But your mirror should tell you every day." Naruto muttered the last bit under his breath.

"What was that? I'll kill you!" Anko shouted about to pounce on Naruto but luckily for Naruto Kushina was holding her back. Kushina sighed.

"Calm down, Anko. At least he said sorry," Kushina said in a calm tone.Naruto and Anko had always had their little arguments. At first Kushina thought it was cute, they were like brother and sister. But it stopped being cute… after it was happening every morning. It became sort of like a routine. Kushina took in Anko after she received the cursed seal from him. But Kushina didn't adopt Anko. She still kept her name. Kushina just gave her a place to sleep, made sure she was fed, and was the one that the villagers reported to when Anko pulled a prank. Though Anko was a high genin.

After Naruto had gotten ready and had breakfast they went to the Ninja Academy. Kushina held Naruto's hand as they walked through. Naruto received many evil looks. But no one dared to say anything to the mother and son because of the reputation Kushina held as a ninja.

Konoha's Red Whirlpool was her nickname. Said to have killed so many it stained her hair red. No one said this to her of course. Except for the few 'brave' ones but that would also be the last thing they said…

Despite Kushina's reputation some people still went out of their way to make Naruto's life hell. Often when Naruto wasn't with his mother the villagers would attack him. Some times his injuries were nothing while at other times they were fatal. But each time Naruto told his mother she got angry. Even the little injuries made Kushina angry. It was more the fact that Naruto didn't know the people that attacked him so Kushina couldn't punish anyone. She felt awful as a mother, sometimes she even cried. Not in front of Naruto though, she never cried in front of him. Naruto believed his mother was the strongest kunoichi in the world. 'Don't be sad kaa-san! You're the strongest kunoichi in the world' was what he would say whenever he saw his mom depressed.

Kushina and Naruto arrived at the academy, there he saw other kids his age entering the building.

"Come on, mom! We don't wanna be the last ones in!" Naruto said as he dragged his mother inside the Ninja Academy.

"Slow down, Naruto were not late." Kushina said. She knew Naruto was really excited about the academy be she didn't know he was this excited.

Naruto and Kushina entered the classroom where all the first year academy students were already seated. Iruka Umino spotted them.

"Ah! So this must be Naruto." Iruka smiled at Naruto. Naruto smiled back.

"Yes. He'll be starting ninja academy today." Kushina said to Iruka. "Naruto, meet Iruka. He'll be your sensei. I'm sure he'll teach you many things about being a ninja."

"Hai!" Naruto said enthusiastically

"Ok! Naruto. I'll have Anko-chan pick you up after lessons, ok?" Kushina said cheerfully to Naruto.

"Hai!" Naruto replied still enthusiastic. Kushina was on her way out of the classroom until she remembered to tell Iruka something.

"Oh! Iruka-san"

"Yes, Uzumaki-sama!" Iruka replied

" I just want you to know that Naruto is…" Kushina paused thinking of the right words to say, " Let's say he's had experience with some ninja skills." Iruka nodded and with that Kushina left.

Iruka turned to Naruto. "Hey, Naruto. You want me to introduce you to the rest of the class?"

"Ok…" Naruto said nervously suddenly loosing all of the zest he had. Iruka took Naruto to the front of the class.

"Alright, listen up!" Iruka yelled to his class. They all turned to Naruto and stared. This made Naruto feel more uncomfortable than he already was. They stared at him in wonder rather than disgust, which was what he would get from most of the other villagers.

"This is Naruto Uzumaki. He'll be joining our class today. I hope that you'll be friendly to him," Iruka announced.

"Hello…" Naruto said trying to smile at all the faces staring at him.

"Ok, Naruto. You can take a seat next to Shikamaru."

"H-hai!" Naruto said nervously. He quickly headed to the back of the classroom next to Shikamaru.

"H-hey Shikamau-san" Naruto stuttered out. Shikamaru looked up at Naruto and grunted. He looked like he was about to go to sleep. Iruka hasn't even started teaching and he's falling asleep.

'Are lessons here that boring?' Naruto thought to himself. Naruto sat down and began to listen to Iruka's lesson.

"Ok. Does anyone remember what we talked about last lesson?" Iruka asked

Sakura's hand immediately shot up.

"Yes, Sakura."

"Last lesson we were talking about kekkei genkai. Kekkei Genkai are abilities passed down genetically in specific clans. Kekkei genkai and their related jutsu can't be taught or copied by others." Sakura said informally. She looked towards Sasuke to see if he noticed. But like all the other times, Sasuke didn't even know she was the one talking.

"Very good, Sakura. Sasuke would you like to continue on that."

Sasuke grunted. "Kekkei genkai abilities that work through the user's eye are called dojutsu. Currently the most powerful kekkei genkai is a dojutsu called the Sharingan, which is only available to Uchiha clan members." Sasuke smirked and looked towards Hinata Hyuga for a reaction. If Sasuke was trying to intimidate her, it worked. She noticed him, but just looked down and poked her fingers together. Naruto noticed this and wasn't impressed.

'It's time someone corrected the almighty Uchiha.' thought Naruto. Naruto smirked.

"I disagree." Naruto stated. There were gasps then silence. The thought of someone saying Sasuke was wrong was… well shocking.

"I think all kekkei genkai have their pro's and con's. The Sharingan has the ability to copy their opponent's jutsu, among other benefits like: the ability to read Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and then beat it. But Uchiha aren't born with the Sharingan. To unlock the Sharingan, the user has to be in a life-threatening situation, where the power of the Sharingan could save the user." Naruto paused noticing everyone's reaction. Choji stopped eating, Shikamaru was awake and even Sasuke was in a state of shock. How could he say an Uchiha was wrong?

Naruto continued. "The Byakugan, unlike the Sharingan, all members are born with it. The Byakugan allows for the user to see with near 360º vision, meaning that they can literally see everything around them. They also have the ability to see through solid objects, and can use a degree of telescopic sight to see things from a great distance. The distance and the degree of telescopic sight may vary from person to person. I've met Hyuga's that can see 80 meters and other Hyuga's that could see up to 800 meters. However, one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see the chakra circulation system inside of another's body. It is from this particular ability that they are able to employ their ultimate attack style juken. The juken style focuses on being quick and precise, not focusing on damage. Each strike, when placed correctly, strikes along the network of vessels that carry chakra. This network is closely intertwined with the functioning of the body's organs, and so when the network takes damage, the organs suffer as well." Naruto looked towards Hinata and smiled. Hinata blushed.

Iruka was beyond impressed. He was… astonished. He didn't even think Hinata could explain it in that much depth. But Hinata didn't care that Naruto probably explained her clan's abilities better than she could. She was more shocked that someone stood up for her.

'Na…ruto…Uzumaki' Hinata thought. She knew she wouldn't forget that name...
