[A/N]: Heya guys! I am back with another Fanfiction of mine which in my opinion is gonna be the biggest hit out of all the ones I've written so far.
I have been reading a lot of Fanfiction these days and trust me when I say, "I have read lots!". I have read all the well-written stories and I have read all the loosely written stories and I hated the fact that so much of Naruto fiction is dependent on character bashing and unrealistic behavior.
I got really frustrated and I got the wise idea to write a fiction devoid of all that bad stuff. And so: this is gonna be my longest and most successful fiction of them all. And it will also be a fiction pairing my favorite girl in the Naruto series:
Naruto x Hinata! A pure Naru-Hina fiction, no-harem!
So, let's get started: "This story will be entirely canon except for where I don't want it to be, there will be minor changes making a world of a difference, you'll find real progress in Naruto as the story itself progresses forward into the plot".
With that being said, here is Naruto: Little Things, enjoy!
Naruto: Little Things
Chapter: 1
Title: Revelations!
Twelve years ago: a nine-tailed fox suddenly appeared! It's tails lashed out, smashing mountains and sending tidal waves crashing towards the shore! The ninja rose up to defend their villages.
A large number of ninja stood parallel to the beast, with hate in their eyes and desperate courage in their hearts. One of the men from amongst them: A Jounin wearing a headband with the symbol of the village hidden in the leaves cried out to his companions, "Hold the attack and wait for the fourth Hokage!", and he leapt off from where he stood moments ago, to further push the attack.
"It's getting close! Don't let it go near the village!", said another Jounin from amongst them while he threw his holstered kunai towards the advancing beast, when suddenly a huge toad appeared in midst, the trees of the forest crushed under it's immense weight. The toad had a scar on his left eye and a pipe in his mouth, on his back he had a tanto and on his head stood a man.
The one shinobi that faced the nine-tailed fox in mortal combat, he sacrificed his life to capture the beast and seal it in a human body, this man was known as, 'The Fourth Hokage'.
A young boy could be seen running around the village in a black shirt and bright orange pants and tied tight to his torso was an orange jacket with blue and white details. In the boy's hand was a bucket of bright orange paint. He had green goggles rested on his forehead, and in the background were two ninja running after him, both with leaf headbands, standard shinobi clothing comprising of a dark blue colored long-sleeved shirt and matching pants, and over both their shirts were green shinobi vests given to both Chunin and Jounin of the village, they both had on: similar ankle bindings and standard shinobi sandals. Based of which, the boy's chasers were either Chunin or Jounin level ninja, but considering who was in front, anyone's first guess would be Chunin, but looks can be deceiving, the shinobi who didn't believe in that saying do get it's gist after their first real shinobi encounter. To be a shinobi is to conceal and be concealed.
"You've gone too far this time Naruto!", said one of the two who shook his arm in spite. Following the man's words and considering it his queue, 'Naruto' jumped onto one of the nearest buildings and leapt onto the next and the next buildings in quick succession having the two unidentified ranked shinobi tailing him still. In the back: four faces could be seen on a mountain that had been covered in embarrassing markings.
Naruto laughed in midst his jump and made to them a declaration, "Hahaha, Give it up! You're just spent cause you don't have the guts to do what I do, do ya'? Hahaha, Losers, wannabes, you'll never catch me! Hahahaha!". He said in between laughs.
"Lord Hokage! It's an emergency!", cried a man to an elderly man with brown birth marks on his face, the man was currently working on his calligraphy on a white canvas. "I hope you're not bothering me with some trivia, and don't tell me it's Naruto again", said the elderly man in orange to the worried man in the back, giving himself a turn towards him.
"It is Naruto again! He climbed onto the great stone faces!", said the man. "He put graffiti all over the Hokage!", said another man standing beside him. The old man took a weary puff from his pipe in thought, "Hmm".
Meanwhile, Naruto was still running from the two ninja with great success! The two ninja had still been tailing him crying out his name in desperation. The two ninja head on forward towards him, and surprisingly: Naruto stood opposite to the direction they were headed, having successfully tricked them into going the other way while he hid behind a camouflaged sheet of cloth painted to look like one of the fences he was standing beside.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head while laughing at the two ninja he previously tricked, "That was too easy", he claimed as another man made his way behind him. "Oh yeah, Naruto!", a man with bulging eyes and a veiny forehead said when he put his hand on Naruto's head. The man had a pineapple like hairstyle and wore a standard shinobi garment underneath a vest and standard ankle bindings and ninja sandals. Naruto in turn, jumped in response.
"Aaaahhh!". He fell down with a scream and a thud, facing the man responsible, pointing to his face.
"Where'd you come from Iruka-sensei!? What are you doing here?", said Naruto in his defense. In response to him, Iruka pointed his finger towards him, "No, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class".
In Class - Konoha Academy
"I'm at the end of my rope here Naruto; you failed the graduation test last time and the time before that! Tomorrow you've got another chance and you messing up again!", Iruka said truthfully. Naruto just tossed his head to his side and followed it up with, "Humph".
Iruka's head popped a nerve and he looked at Naruto with irritation for a while and then turned back swiftly to the rest of the half present, half empty class. "Fine, cause you missed it Naruto-", he said pointing to the whole class, "-Everyone will review the transformation jutsu!". Iruka said, much to the students' visible displeasure, literally all the students slumped back in disappointment for having to go over that all over again because of Naruto.
"Sakura Haruno". The first up to practically use the transformation jutsu was Sakura Haruno, a pretty girl who wore a short-sleeved red Chinese-looking outfit with pink designs running around her sleeves and down from her neck to the end of the dress. Among her more prominent features were a larger forehead, green hair and pink hair that fit her name perfectly.
"Okay, Sakura here, let's do this", "Transform!", she said as white smoke covered her for a second before she successfully transformed into Iruka-sensei, still holding a seal to concentrate her chakra and hold the transformation.
Iruka nodded his head in approval, "Transformed into me?", Iruka mused for a second after which we wrote down some scores on his clipboard. "Good". Hearing his approval and remarks, Sakura jumped in joy screaming, "I did it!". Behind her, a dark background formed and a chalk outlined version of her shook her hand in joy saying, "Yes! I did it, I kicked butt!".
She then immediately turned to a student with black raven hair that spiked towards the back of his head and fell down into two separated locks at the front near his front lobe. The boy wore a blue half-sleeved shirt along with white shorts and arm-warmers of the same white color that had a horizontal strip of blue at both ends, making his clothing a perfect matching attire, going quite nicely with white ankle bindings and blue shinobi sandals. "Sasuke, did you see that?", she inquired but to no avail because Iruka cut her antics off by calling the next student in line, "Next, Sasuke Uchiha".
Sasuke walked up to Iruka with the same hip demeanor and successfully transformed into Iruka. "Ehh, good", said Iruka before Sasuke dispelled the transformation technique and walked away with his hands in his pockets.
"Next, Naruto Uzumaki", Iruka called. Naruto has his own attitude up, he had his hands on his waist and an annoyed look on his face. A student standing beside him looked at him with utter annoyance. "This is a total waste of time", said a boy with a pineapple hairstyle similar to Iruka's but shorter than his wearing a fishnet undershirt over which he wore a grey short-sleeved over-shirt that has green details over it, to compliment it all he had a dull brown pair of pants.
Another girl standing beside him wore a completely purple outfit that went high towards her neck and went down stopping halfway through her thigh. The piece of garment was cut from the sides that left little unseen, or would have if she didn't have bindings to use as shorts. Her outfit was completed by a pair of arm warmers which were white with purple horizontal edges. She too; looked at Naruto with annoyance. "We always pay for your screw-ups!". "Like I care", Naruto said, not even looking at her and walked towards Iruka with the same demeanor he had just moments ago.
All through this, a girl with indigo hair and lavender eyes who wore a cream, baggy jacket was looking at Naruto with a tint of redness to her cheeks while poking her fingers together, 'Naruto … Do your best', she said to herself.
Naruto made a seal to concentrate his chakra until finally, "-Transform!". A cloud of smoke covered the outline of Naruto's body and he transformed into …. A naked girl!
Naruto had transformed himself into a female version of himself standing stark naked with only clouds to cover the more intimate parts of the feminine body. The feminine Naruto winked at Iruka and gave him a kiss from afar. Seeing this for himself, Iruka stared for a while before his head shot back with a bleeding nose.
Naruto in turn: was laughing loudly at his teacher, "Gotcha', that was my sexy jutsu!". He was still laughing out loud when Iruka got up with bulging eyes and tissues in either one of his nostrils, "Cut the stupid tricks, this is your last warning!", he yelled in irritation.
After Class - The Hokage Monument
Up on the great stone faces, Naruto was standing on a wooden extension to one of the faces, rubbing it clean with a piece of cloth in his hands. "Loser", he murmured it to himself, but Iruka caught on to what he was saying due to the silence around the area.
"You're not going home until you've cleaned every single drop of paint", Iruka said commandingly to Naruto who had his head down in a way that his eyes' shadow hid his eyes. In a saddened tone, he said, "So what, it's not like there's anyone waiting at home for me!". He then went back to the cleaning he was supposed to do.
Iruka stared at him for a while before finally speaking up, "Hey Naruto?", he said in the usual commanding tone. Naruto looked at him with annoyance, "What you want now? Sensei", he mocked. Iruka brought his hand up to his chin, "Well, I was thinking-", he mused. "-Maybe after you've cleaned this all up I could take you out for some ramen, the good stuff, what do you think?", he said while scratching his nose.
To Iruka's previous statement, Naruto beamed up with excitement, "Ah!", he gasped in surprise. "Now that's some serious motivation! I'll have this cleaned in no-time", he said as he got to excessive cleaning, wanting to get it done to get his hands on some ramen.
Ichiraku Ramen Stand
Naruto and Iruka sat at a bar comprising of five seats and a desk in front. The two sat side by side enjoying ramen when Iruka decided to break the silence. "Naruto", Iruka said, watching Naruto slurp his noodles with incredible speed. "Mhmm", was all Naruto could say in between his slurps.
"Why would you do that to the Hokage faces?-", he said while shaking his hand in an explanatory manner. "I mean you know who the Hokage are, don't you?", he added.
"Of course I do, everybody knows", he said between slurps, finally finishing the bowl. "They were the greatest shinobi of their time right? The best of the best? Undefeated ninja champs. And the fourth Hokage was the one who saved the village from the Nine-Tailed Fox, he was the most amazing", he said in all seriousness.
Iruka listened to Naruto with astonishment, "Then why did yo-", before he could continue, Naruto caught on and went on to explain. "Because I'm going to be better than any of them, me, Naruto, the next Hokage!", he declared, pointing his chopsticks to Iruka. "A ninja legend!". Iruka looked at Naruto with surprise, but let him continue. "Then everyone will have to stop disrespecting me and look up to me, believe it!". He stopped for a while after that, "Ahn, by the way, I kinda wanted to ask a little favor, sensei", he said pleadingly with his hands up.
"You want another bowl?", Iruka said in a deadpanned expression. "Un, un. I wanna try on your headband, c'mon please?", he said with his hands joined together. Iruka looked up at his forehead to his headband, he adjusted it while looking at it, "This? No way, you can only wear a leaf headband when you finally graduate from the academy and become a ninja, you've got to pass the test tomorrow", he said.
"That is so uncool!", Naruto yelled. Iruka laughed at his antics, "Is that why you took off your goggles?", he inquired. "Aaah, I want another bowl", Naruto said in irritation.
Graduation Day - Konoha Academy
Iruka stood in front of the class with a sheet of paper in one of his hands and had his other hand behind his back. "We will now start the final exams, when you name is called, please proceed to the testing room, the final test will be on, the clone jutsu", he finished. No one else except Naruto showed any signs of stress, they were all calm save for Naruto who held his head in dismay, 'That's my worst technique! Great! I'm never gonna pass!', he thought to himself.
Iruka and Mizuki sat a chair apart from each other behind a desk on which several dozen leaf-headbands were placed neatly. Opposing the desk stood Naruto with a serious face, 'Okay, get it together Naruto, you can do this, believe it', he thought while calming himself. He closed his eyes shut and took a deep breath, 'I know that I tried my best on the last two times I gave the exam, this time I'm not taking any chances, I'm gonna use as little as I can to make as many as I can, if this fluke is right, I will pass, believe it". Bearing that thought in mind, Naruto concentrated to the best of his abilities and calmly pressed his hands together.
Knowing that he shouldn't store up chakra this time, he drew out a short stream of chakra and imagined it in the shape of ten of his own selves, having done that, Naruto didn't leave himself storing chakra too long and in a matter of short splits of a second, he let go of that stream around him, "Clone Jutsu!", he yelled in accordance. Shortly after; he was surrounded by a puff of smoke, which ultimately dispersed and made his surroundings easier to see.
For a few seconds, Naruto didn't hear any remarks from the two teachers evaluating him, he had already feared the worse and had tears contained in his eyes, which he had closed shut tight. Naruto could feel the tention in the air and the sound a chair towards where Iruka was sitting, acknowledging him getting up. Naruto couldn't hold back his tears for much longer, which was obvious because his eyes had water in it's corners. Naruto's heart beat faster and faster, and he got more and more nervous hearing Iruka's footsteps as he walked towards him. Naruto couldn't see his face, but he didn't want to either, he didn't want to see his face breaking the sad news to him.
Naruto then allowed his tears to fall freely down his face. He hung his head down and sobbed openly because of his inability to hold it back anymore. But just then, Naruto felt a hand on his head; it was his teacher! Iruka-sensei. He could feel the hand ruffling his hair. Naruto opened his eyes to Iruka who was smiling at him with joy of his own, he could tell by his facial expressions that Iruka-sensei was proud of him. Naruto looked at one of his sides and saw a horde of twelve perfect clones in a row, he then took a glance at the other side and saw twelve more clones: All perfectly executed!
He then turned his attention towards Iruka, and let his tears fall down in another volley of streams. Iruka gave him a smile and held up his hand and gave him a thumbs up, "Congratulations, Naruto, you pass with an A-Star", he said with a proud look on his face.
Naruto's eyes, once again welled up with tears and he tackled Iruka to the ground, embracing him in a hug. Naruto dug his head on Iruka's shoulders and began crying on it, but for a moment Naruto looked at Iruka with tears, "Thank you sensei, thank you for everything you've done for me, I won't let you down, I'll be the best Hokage this village has ever seen, just you wait, I'll show them you were right for trusting me", he declared. Iruka watched Naruto dig his head right back onto his shoulders.
"I know you'll be a great shinobi one day Naruto, I'm proud of you", Iruka stated while he looked at Naruto fondly. This was what Iruka wanted for Naruto, to be a splendid shinobi.
He was like Naruto in a way, he never knew the love of a mother or a father, they were both orphans who lost their family to the incident twelve years ago. But little did they know, the third Hokage sat in his private room, hovering his hands above his crystal ball: observing the test as it progressed, and began to look at it fondly when he saw the moment Naruto had with Iruka. "You have yet to go a long way Naruto, but for performing so well, I will have to give you an alternative to that technique, I think I know what went wrong the last two times, until then, celebrate, my boy", he mumbled to himself.
