Greetings true believers! No I'm not Stan Lee; I'm just imitating the Man. Anyway, I've been on a Kamen Rider fix lately so I thought I'd give it a bit of a Naruto spin on things. Just to warn you these chapters are going to be pretty long, each one is about the equivalent of one volume of the manga, or about 7 chapters.

So, on with the show!

Kamen Rider Kurama

The Tests of the Ninja

Naruto hugged Iruka, tears filling his eyes.

"Thank you so much Iruka-sensei." He said.

"Not a problem Naruto, now can you get off me?" Iruka said wincing slightly. Naruto blinked and jumped off his wounded teacher. He was about to apologize when they heard a groan.

"Damn…demon…brat," Mizuki growled, staggering towards the pair.

"You're still conscious?" asked Naruto. "I guess I didn't overdo it after all."

"I will kill you." Mizuki said and pulled out a vile. "This is the power that will let me do it." He threw his head back and drank the fluid.

"That can't be good." Naruto said, moving in front of Iruka. Mizuki's body began to twitch and spasm. His muscles grew, ripping through his cloths and he started growing orange and black stripped fur. After about a minute, Mizuki was replaced with large, bipedal tiger.

"Now, you will die Fox." Mizuki growled. Naruto meanwhile was shaking with anger and glaring at Mizuki.

"You call me a demon, and then you turn around and throw away your humanity?" Naruto growled. His glare and Naruto's tone made the tiger-man step back. "That is unforgivable!" He shouted. His coat burst open to reveal a belt with a red spiral on the buckle. Naruto grabbed the buckle and twisted it causing the spiral to spin.

"Henshin!" shouted Naruto and his body were apparently covered in flames. The flames resided to show Naruto now covered in red armor with orange markings along the collar and spirals marking on his stomach, back and shoulder with other marks going along his arms and legs. He also had a large sword on his back. The pommel of the blade looked like a skull and ribcage with femurs on both sides. . (A/N: Think something like a red version of Naruto's Kyubi Chakra Mode with orange markings. The sword is Rebellion of Devil May Cry.)

Mizuki and Iruka were both in shock at what happened to Naruto. Naruto just charged at Mizuki drawing his sword. The tiger man was just barely able to come out of his stupor as Naruto swung his sword at him. Mizuki managed to block the first three swings, but the fourth swing shattered his defense and was nailed by a barrage of stabs and a final stab sent him flying back. Naruto charged after Mizuki, blade forward, he stabbed Mizuki and slashed him into the air. Naruto followed him in the air and hit him with four slashes and slammed him down into the ground with a final slash. Naruto jumped back and resheathed his blade.

Iruka stared, slack jawed. Naruto had just unleashed a massive amount of damaging attacks upon Mizuki, who especially now was no slouch. The strength must have been amplified by that armor somehow. Not to disrespect Naruto but he was just a fresh out of the academy ninja now. So where had he gotten that armor, or for that matter that good with a sword?

Mizuki growled as he pushed himself back up. He glared at Naruto and bared his teeth.

"I'm gonna rip you apart you damn fox brat." He growled.

"You really like hearing yourself talk don't you?" Naruto asked. Mizuki roared and charged Naruto. He thrust his claw forward. Naruto ducked under the claw and slashed Mizuki's stomach and unleashed another barrage of stabs before hitting him with one final super thrust that sent him into a rock.

"Million Stab." Naruto said before he shot towards. Before the tiger man could recover, Naruto spun his sword like a buzz saw, picking him up off the ground for a second before reversing the saw and flooring him. Naruto took a step back, watching Mizuki carefully.

"If you're still alive I suggest you stay down." Naruto advised. "I don't want to kill you, but if I have to hit you with a hissatsu, I won't hesitate." He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. Mizuki growled in response and pushed him up.

"You think you can kill me?" Mizuki demanded. He stood up and let out a thunderous roar.

"Oh yeah," Naruto said and twisted the hilt of his sword. The skull opened its mouth and the femurs shot out away from the ribs. The blade glowed dark red. "Dance Macabre!" he yelled and shot forward swinging his sword at Mizuki. The traitor didn't stand a chance as Naruto's sword cut through him like a hot knife through butter. The last two slashes lifted the tiger-man into the air and the last one sliced him clean in half, along with a couple of the trees behind him. Mizuki's eyes were widened as he collapsed in a blood heap. Naruto flicked his sword. The light faded and the pommel returned to normal. He twisted the buckle again and the armor and sword disappeared.

Naruto then ran to the pushes and emptied the contents of his stomach into a nearby bush. Iruka walked over to him and started to gently rub his back. Naruto stayed that way for a few moments before he pushed himself up.

"Was it that bad for you?" he asked. Iruka gave the boy a sad smile.

"Yeah, but my sensei helped me through it." Iruka said. "He also explained to me, that reacting like I did, like you just did, mean that we're still humans and not mindless, emotionless tools."

"And that's good, right?" Naruto asked.

"It's very good." Said an aged voice. Iruka and Naruto turned to see Hiruzen Sarutobi walking towards them.

"Lord Hokage," Iruka said.

"Hey Old Man," Naruto said weakly. Hiruzen smiled before he knelt down and pulled Naruto into a gentle hug.

"It's good that your reacted that way Naruto, it just proves just how human you really are." The aged fire shadow said. "And I'm very proud of you." Naruto smiled and returned the hug.

"Lord Hokage," Iruka said. "I know that you will need to talk to Naruto and myself about what happened tonight," the Hokage nodded. "But, would it be ok if we waited until the morning." He glanced at Naruto and the Hokage understood.

"Yes, I think it would be ok." Hiruzen said. "Naruto, I would like you to report to my office first thing in the morning, ok?"

"Sure Old Man." Naruto said. Naruto signaled his ANBU and had one of them, Dog, take Naruto home while the rest were told to clean up the mess that had once been MIzuki.

THE NEXT DAY

Naruto sat in a chair in the Hokage's office. The old Kage was smoking on his pipe and looking at Naruto.

"Naruto I know you received a big shock last night," the Hokage started.

"I already knew about the Fox." Naruto said, cutting off the Old Man.

"Y-You did?" Hiruzen asked.

"Yeah, you remember when I was 5?" asked Naruto. The Hokage frowned but nodded. It had been a particularly bad birthday for Naruto. Some villagers had found him and had actually beaten him into a coma. "Well while I was unconscious I met the Fox and my mom and dad." Hiruzen blinked again and his pipe almost fell out of his mouth.

"Yo-your parents," He gasped.

"Yeah," Naruto said with a smile. "I know I'm the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage." He gave a warm smile. "You see, dad's family had, well it more like a legacy rather than a blood line. In his family are a group of warriors known as Kamen Riders. They were great and powerful men who were able to dawn special armor and be granted amazing powers to fight off all sorts of demons and monsters. But eventually with the development of chakra and ninja, the Kamen Riders kind of died out."

"So you're one of these Kamen Riders?" Hiruzen asked. Naruto nodded.

"Kamen Rider Kurama." He declared proudly.

"How?" the Hokage asked.

"Old Man, did you know that the jinchuriki for the Kyubi have all been Uzumakis?" Naruto asked. The Hokage blinked and then his eyes widened. "Guessing you never really thought about it before." Naruto said with a smile. "But because of that, combine with dad's legacy, the two powers mixed in order to give me my armor."

"What exactly does that armor give you?" Hiruzen asked.

"Well it gives me a pretty big boost in power; I can probably go head to head with a jonin easily, maybe a sannin. I can also maybe give a Kage a run for his money depending on the situation. But when I'm wearing the armor I can't use chakra. So I've just to taijutsu and kenjutsu." Naruto said thinking. "I'm not real sure, last night was the first time I actually ever used it.

"Why is that?" Hiruzen asked.

"Dad put a seal on it so that I wouldn't gain the power until I became a genin." Naruto said. "I guess when Iruka told me I had graduated; it was enough to unseal the power." He shrugged. The Hokage nodded.

"What happened to your parents?" Hiruzen asked. "And the kyubi?"

"Well, after our training, Mom and Dad just kind of, I don't know, moved on I guess." Naruto said with a shrug. "And as for Kyu, well he just went back to sleep."

"Back…to sleep?" Hizen asked.

"Yeah, I guess since he's sealed into me, he's lost a lot of energy so now all he does is sleep." Naruto smirked. "Sometimes when I'm meditating I can hear him snoring in the back of my head." The Hokage chuckled at that.

"I see." The Hokage said. "Well I am agreeing with Iruka decision that you remain a genin. From what I understand you learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu." Naruto nodded. "That is very impressive Naruto."

"Thanks Old Man." Naruto said with a big smile.

"However, I must ask you to keep your father's name quiet for a while." Hiruzen requested. "Your father made many enemies and as strong as you are with the Kurama armor," Naruto nodded.

"It's ok, I understand." Naruto said. "I wasn't planning on taking Dad's name until I made Jonin or something." Hiruzen nodded.

"Well then, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the ninja ranks Naruto." He said. Just as their meeting ended, the door burst open and some kid with a long scarf came flying in.

"It's time to fight Old Man!" The kid shouted before he tripped over his own scarf. Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked over at the Hokage who was shaking his head.

"Who's the kid?" Naruto asked, jerking his thumb at the boy. Before he could answer though, the child pointed at Naruto.

"You! You tripped me!" he accused. A tick-mark appeared on Naruto's forehead and in a flash he was holding the kid up by his scarf.

"I didn't drip you dumbass, you tripped over your own scarf!" Naruto snapped. At that moment, a man in black appeared. When he saw Naruto holding the kid, he freaked.

"Boy, put him down now!" the Man in Black demanded. "That is the Hokage's grandson." Naruto blinked, looked at the kid, and then looked over at the Hokage, who nodded. He turned back to the kid who had a smirk on his face.

"I don't care if you're the Hokage's grandmother!" Naruto declared and bopped the boy on the head. The Hokage looked indifferent, though he was trying to hide the smirk on his face. The Man in Black meanwhile was in full freak out mode.

Naruto just left the office, not registering the look the Hokage's grandson was giving him. Naruto made his way out of the tower and made his way to the shopping district, to one shop in particular: Chignon Weapon Shop; the shop run by ninja, for ninja.

"Hello, welcome to," the girl behind the counter said before seeing him. "Naruto! You graduated!" She wore a pink Chinese dress and had her hair up in a pair of buns.

"Yep, Naruto said, touching his headband. "Is your grandpa in? I want to talk to him."

"Yeah, I'll go get him." She said.

"Thanks Tenten." Naruto called. While she was in the back, Naruto glanced around at shop.

"Naruto," said an old voice. Naruto turned to see an old man with white hair in a ponytail and his white beard in a braid.

"Hey Azulong," Naruto said. "I was hoping to get some special cloths." He approached the old man, pulling out a few sheets of paper from inside his jacket. Azulong took the papers and looked through them, his eyebrows doing a little dance as he looked through them.

"You're sure you want this coat Naruto?" he asked. Naruto nodded a smirk on his face. "All right, but it's going to take me a while to make these." Naruto frowned before an idea hit him.

"Hey Old Man, do you know the shadow clone jutsu?" he asked. Tenten looked confused at her grandfather.

"Yes, though I'm only able…to…make," he trailed of as Naruto's words hit him. "Naruto, you are a genius!"

"That's what I've been telling people for years." Naruto said with a smile. "So about how long is the order gonna take?" Azulong was thinking, stroking his beard.

"I can probably get you at least one by the end of the day; probably get you a full set by the end of the week." Azulong said. Naruto smiled.

"What will I owe you?" asked Naruto.

"Well, normally something like this would cost you about 400 ryo, but for giving me that tip about the Shadow Clones, it'll only be about 150." Naruot blinked and smiled at that.

"Thanks Azulong." He said. Naruto handed over the money.

"Thank you for the tip Naruto." Azulong said. "Stop by at the end of the day for your first set." Naruto nodded and said goodbye to the pair before leaving. After the left, he noticed that a section of a nearby fence was off in sequence and had a pair of feet sticking out from under it and some black hair sticking out near the top. Naruto just chuckled and made his way to Ramen Ichiraku.

"Hey Old Man Teuchi, Ayame," Naruto said sitting down.

"Hello Naruto," Ayame said, with a smile. "The usual?"

"Make it two please." Naruto said. The pair looked at Naruto but provided him with what he asked for. Before Naruto dug in, he glanced over his shoulder. "Hey kid, this is good ramen, you don't want to eat it when it's cold." A few seconds later, the Hokage's grandson walked into the stand.

"You knew I was out there?" he asked.

"You have to make sure your disguise is perfect with where your hiding and that it covers your completely." Naruto advised. "Now eat up, this is the best ramen in Konoha, probably even the world." The Ichirakus smiled at the praise. They watched the two begin to eat with almost matching gusto.

"So Naruto, who's your little friend?" asked Teuchi. Naruto paused and looked at him.

"I never did get you name kid." Naruto admitted. "All I know is that you're the Hokage's grandson." The boy frowned and put down his chopsticks.

"My name is Konohamaru, the Old Man named me, but no one ever calls me that, it's always Honorable Grandson." The now identified Konohamaru said. "No one ever sees me for me; they just see me as the Old Man's grandson."

"What about your parents?" Ayame asked.

"They died on a mission when I was a baby." Konohamaru said. "The Old man and my uncle have taken to raising me." Naruto put his chopsticks down too.

"My parents died in the Kyubi attack, so I never knew them either." Naruto said. "The Old Man looked after me as much as he could and was sort of like a grandfather to me." He smiled at Konohamaru. "I guess this kind of makes us cousins doesn't it?" Konohamaru looked at him to process this information and then smiled. "So, why did you want to fight the Old Man?"

"To show that I'm my own man and not just my grandpa's grandson," Konohamaru said. "That's why I'm gonna be Hokage someday." Teuchi and Ayame looked at the two boys and smiled, thinking that these two were cut from the same cloth. The two of them finished their ramen and Naruto tried paying for them, but they were told it was on the house today. After thanking them, Naruto took Konohamaru to a nearby training field.

"Let me ask you something Konohamaru, have you ever actually thrown a shuriken?" asked Naruto. Konohamaru blinked but then shook his head. Naruto nodded and walked over to him. "Have you ever played cards before?" Konohamaru raised an eyebrow.

"I've played Go Fish and Old Maid with my friends." He said. Naruto nodded and pulled out a shuriken.

"Well throwing shuriken is a lot like dealing cards." Naruto explained. To demonstrate, he threw a shuriken at a nearby tree. The blade of the weapon sank into the wood. "Now you try." Konohamaru took the weapon from Naruto and looked at the tree. He threw the bladed weapon and it went wide left. "You're throwing it a little too soon." Naruto said. "Try again."

"How come you're doing this for me?" Konohamaru asked.

"Well we're cousins right, and family needs to help each other." Naruto said. "Besides, if we're gonna be rivals for being the Hokage, I want to make sure you're the best of the best." Konohamaru blinked before understanding.

"Hai Naruto-sensei." Konohamaru said and continued practicing with the shuriken. When Konohamaru's tutor, the man in black, Ebisu, showed up, Naruto sent a few shadow clones to take care of him while he moved on to teaching Konohamaru about kunai.

"Now, kunai are more for up close and personal matters. They can be used to slashing and stabbing or," he flipped the kunai around into a reverse grip, "this way can be used for defense and blocking. They are also good throwing weapons and you can wrap explosive tags to them to make throwing bombs out of them. But just throwing them should be saved for a last resort." They spent the rest of their time practicing kunai throwing, by the end, Konohamaru was able to throw it without it spinning and hit the tree.

"I think that's it for today Konohamaru." Naruto said. "Let's get you home."

"Hai Naruto-sensei," Konohamru said.

"When I'm not teaching you, it's just Naruto, ok kid?" Naruto said with a smile. Konohamaru nodded. Ebisu had finally managed to dispel Naruto's clones, but when he looked around; he saw Naruto and Konohamaru walking away. He was about to call out to them, but then got blindsided by a clone that had been hiding in the bushes.

Naruto dropped Konohamaru off at his house and also met his uncle Asuma. It was also upon the Hokage's insistence that Naruto stay for dinner. After dinner, Naruto picked up his order from Azulong. He grabbed it and went home to sleep.

Commercial break!

Betrayed by his village and driven out of the only home he'd ever known. Uzumaki Naruto leaves the Village of Konoha and, under the advice to his teacher, finds a small village on an island.

There he meets another young man who is also destined for greatness: Monkey D. 'Straw Hat' Luffy, a rubber man who can't swim after eating the cursed devil fruit.

Now with new friends by his side and a new destiny spread out before him, Naruto goes from ninja to pirate in a great adventure that spans the Seven Seas and beyond.

The King of Pirates and the Kazukukage, Chapter 1: Romance Dawn.

Now, back to the show!

The Next Next Day

Naruto work up early and looked at the clock, it was 6:30, and the team placements weren't until 8:00. He tried going back to sleep, but found that he couldn't. So he just got up and got dressed in his new cloths. Gone was the traffic cone orange, "look at me I'm over here" jumpsuit, now Naruto was sporting a dark orange shirt with the Uzumaki-spiral in black over his heart, black cargo pants with about a dozen and a half pockets, black steel tipped boots, a black coat with a nine-tailed fox on it, it's tails wrapping around the front of his coat and two on each sleeve, the ninth tail on his upper back, all the tails curled into spirals, and, his personal favorite, a red fedora styled hat with a white triangle on the brim with the kanji for fire in it. it was basically a fedora version of the Hokage's hat. He tied his headband around his neck.

Naruto grabbed himself a quick breakfast and headed out to the academy. It was still dark outside so most people weren't out yet. Naruto made his way to academy and walked into the class room where Iruka would be announcing the teams. Glancing at the wall clock, it was only 7:15. Naruto yawned; lack of sleep was catching up to him. He walked to the middle of the class room, middle seat in the middle row, kicked his boots up on the table, pulled his hat down over his eyes, and fell back asleep.

Over the next 40 minutes, other students started filing into the class room, most looked at Naruto and shrugged him off, not recognizing him. When Kiba Inuzuka walked in and looked at Naruto, he caught his sent and smiled. He didn't know how his friend got in, and he didn't care, he was just glad. Shino Aburame walked in next to Kiba and sensed Naruto's chakra through his bugs. Though the two never really hung out, Naruto and Shino each had respect for one another as both people and as ninja and Shino was glad that Naruto had passed. Shikamaru Nara glanced up at Naruto and, upon hearing his breathing, recognized Naruto instantly. The pair had shared enough naps over the years they could recognize each other in their sleep, literally. Choji Akimichi also recognized Naruto the same was Shikamaru did. He'd been around Naruto enough to know him when he was asleep. The boys each took seats around Naruto, Shikamaru and Choji behind him and Kiba and Shino in front. Hinata Hyuga was the next to enter the class room and recognize Naruto. She did so instantly with her "Naruto since." She walked over to him and contemplated sitting next to him.

"You can sit next to me if you want to." Naruto said. Hinata blinked and started to blush a bit as she sat down next to him. A few minutes later, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka came stampeding into the room. After a lot more bickering, Sakura sat next to Sasuke Uchiha while Ino took the only available seat, which happened to be on the other side of Naruto.

"Hey Hinata," Ino said, leaning forward, "who's this?" Before Hinata could answer, Iruka called the class to attention. He did this by growing his head to the size of a small bolder and screaming "SHUT UP!" After he got everyone's attention, Iruka went into his graduation speech and then started naming off the teams.

"Team 7 will be Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki,, and Sasuke Uchiha." Iruka said. Sakura was about to scream about Naruto's absence, but the blond beat her too it.

"Iruka sensei, why am I pared up with her?" asked Naruto. Everyone turned to see Naruto bringing his feet down and pushing his had up. "I mean I get why I'm with Sasuke, best in the class with the worst in the class, but why Sakura? Why not Hinata, or at the very least Ino?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sakura demanded. Naruto sighed in annoyance and looked at the pink haired girl.

"I mean that Hinata is the best fighter in the class and Ino is the second most accurate kunoichi I've ever met, where as you couldn't fight your way out of a wet paper bag or hit the broad side of a barn." Many of the students were laughing, though the three mentioned girls were turning red: Hinata because her crush had praised her fighting abilities, Ino because Naruto had said such nice things about her, and Sakura was turning red because she'd just been insulted by the class dobe. He was right but her pride wouldn't let her admit that, especially since Naruto had said it.

"These are the teams approved by the Hokage Naruto." Iruka said, trying to sound professional, but the look he was giving Naruto said "I'm sorry."

"Tch," Naruto scoffed and pulled his hat back down over his eyes. After Iruka finished naming off the teams he told them that their teachers would meet them after lunch. Naruto sighed and was about to leave when he found himself surrounded by Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji.

"Uh, hey guys." Naruto said awkwardly.

"Dude, how did you graduate?"Kiba said, slapping him on the back. "Not that I'm complaining or anything."

"Well it's a bit of a story and I don't want to bore you guys." Naruto said.

"Please, please bore us." Ino said. She had given up on her Sasuke crush and was now more interested in Naruto since he had paid her a nice complement while Sasuke had never so much as given her the time of day.

"All right all right." Naruto said waving them down. "Come on; let's go eat up on the roof." Naruto then proceeded to regale them with his story of being tricked by Mizuki into stealing the Forbidden Scroll and then karmatically beating the crap out of Mizuki with the Shadow Clone Jutsu. He'd left out the parts about Mizuki telling him about the Kyubi and his using the Kurama armor. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, well mostly: he Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji had played together since they were kids; he knew Shino was a standup guy, but he didn't know much about Hinata and couldn't be sure if Ino would go running to Sasuke about his armor. The last thing he wanted was the Uchiha Massacre Survivor on his case. He just wanted to keep those things secret unless he had to tell them.

Just as he finished his story though, he felt a pain in his stomach and excused himself to the bathroom. He sadly spent the last of his lunch break on the toilet. His milk must have gone bad on him or something. When the attack finally finished, he made his way back to the class room to wait for his teacher.

And they waited…and waited…and waited. Eventually they were the last team in the room. Sakura was trying to flirt with Sasuke while Naruto was taking another nap. Finally, the door opened and a man with gravity defying grey hair dressed in standard Konoha ninja ware for jonin with his head band covering his left eye poked his head into the room. This got everyone's attention.

"You're late!" Sakura screamed making all the guys in the room wince.

"Sorry, I got lost on the road of life." The man said. "Meet me up on the roof." The group gathered on the roof, their sensei leaning against the railing while they rest of them sat in front of him.

"Now, I'd like you to tell us a bit about your selves." The man said.

"Like what?" Sakura asked

"Oh you know, your likes, dislikes, dreams, hobbies, stuff like that." The man said.

"Would you mind going first sensei?" Naruto asked.

"That's right; we don't know anything about you." Sakura agreed.

"All right." The man said. "My name is Kakashi Hatake. I don't like talking about my likes and dislikes, my dream is really none of your business, and I have a lot of hobbies." The genin all looked at him blankly, all thinking the same thing: all he told us his name. "Now, why don't we start with you on the right." He pointed at Naruto.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said. Everyone just looked at him waiting for him to continue.

"And," Kakashi coaxed.

"Hey, trust is a two way street sensei." Naruto said. "You want to know more about me, you tell me more about you." And with that Naruto pulled his hat back over his eyes and leaned back. Everyone stared at him until it became clear he wasn't going to say anything else.

"Ok, next." He glanced at Sasuke.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, there are plenty of things that I hate but I don't see that it matters considering there is almost nothing that I do like. It seems pointless to talk about "dreams"…that's just a word…" Sasuke said. "…but what I do have is determination. I plan to restore my clan and there is someone I have sworn…to kill." Sakura was looking at Sasuke with hearts in her eyes, Naruto was rolling his eyes behind his hat, and Kakashi narrowed his eye at the boy.

"And finally the young lady," Kakashi said.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. My favorite thing is…well it's not a thing, it's a person. A boy…and that boy is…" she said, blushing and looking over at Sasuke. "Uh…let's move on to my dream." But this just made her blush even bigger. "I hate Naruto." She declared. Everyone looked over at Naruto who's only reaction was to flip Sakura the bird. This action actually stunned Sakura into silence so Kakashi assumed that she was finished.

"Ok, well that's enough for introductions I think." Kakashi said. "Formal training will begin tomorrow: survival training."

"But we already did a lot of that in school." Sakura said.

"But you'll be surviving against me." Kakashi pointed out. "It won't be your typical practice."

"Then what kind of practice will it be?" Naruto asked pushing up the brim of his hat. He narrowed his eyes when Kakashi chuckled.

"What's so funny sensei?" Sakura asked.

"If I told you, then you'd just chicken out." Kakashi said.

"And why would we do that?" Naruto asked. Kakashi got an evil look in his eye.

"Of the 27 students that graduated in your class, only 9 will actually go on to be ninja while the other 18 returns to the academy for more training." Kakashi explained. "Which means that the test your about to take has a 66% chance of failure." Sasuke looked indifferent about the news, Sakura was freaking out, and Naruto just leaned back and pulled his hat back over his eyes.

"But what about the test we just took?" Sakura demanded.

"Oh that was just to weed out the hopeless causes from our ranks and keep the kids who actually showed some potential." Kakashi explained. "In any event, we'll meet at the training fields tomorrow so I can evaluate your skills. Bring any and all ninja weapons and equipment you have. And don't eat anything, you'll just throw it up." He handed over information sheets. "Everything is on these so don't be late." While the genin looked over the information sheets, the jonin disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Naruto looked at the information and then got up to leave, leaving behind his two "teammates." He walked through the streets of Konoha until he came upon the Sarutobi complex. He heard the sound of metal hitting wood and followed it to find Konohamaru throwing weapons at a tall post. It had a lot of scratches on the edges, many looking fresh, but there were also a lot of dents in it showing where shuriken and/or kunai had impaled it.

"Hey, Konohamaru," Naruto said, getting the boy's attention. He stopped his throwing and turned to smile at the blond.

"Naurto-sensei!" he cried happily. "Nice cloths."

"Thanks kid, though since I was a real ninja now I should look more professional." Naruto said. "You've been practicing."

"Yeah, check this out." Konohamaru said and threw five shuriken and five kunai at the post. All of the shuriken dug into the wood and so did 3 of the kunai.

"Nice work." Naruto said.

"It is pretty good isn't it?" Asuma said, a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

"Hey Asuma, how's your new team?" asked Naruto.

"Eh, they're ok, a little rough around the edges but what can you do?" he said with a shrug. "What about yours?"

"The Emo king of Konoha, his number-one fan girl, and apparently a teacher who tends to be really tardy," Naruto listed off.

"Kakashi huh?" Asuma said. "Fair warning, he tends to be about 2 and half hours late to anything that isn't real serious."

"Thanks for the tip." Naruto said. "Hey you got any targets or anything around here?" Asuma stroked his beard before nodding and disappeared back into the house.

"All right Konohamru," Naruto said, kneeling down to eye level with the boy. "When your uncle gets back, we're going to work on your accuracy. It looks like you've gotten throwing the weapons down pretty well, so now we're going to work on making them fly where you want to go."

"Right Naruto-sensei," Konohamaru said, snapping into a salute. Naruto smiled at the boy and ruffled his hair.

"Also, I wanted to tell you that there might be a chance that I won't be around so much to train you. It depends on if I pass my test tomorrow." Konohamaru looked sad but smiled.

"That's ok Naruto, I'm gonna be starting the academy soon anyway." He said.

"Do you know who your teacher is going to be?" asked Naruto.

"I was planning on putting him with Iruka." The Hokage said, walking into the clearing, with Asuma, who was holding the target board. Naruto smiled and turned back to Konohamru.

"Konohamru, I want you to listen to what Iruka-sensei will have to say." Naruto said. "His lectures may put you to sleep, but he's a good teacher." An evil smile crossed Naruto's features. "But that doesn't mean you can't mess with him a bit, feel free to drive him a little crazy." Hiruzen gave a low chuckle at that.

"Naruto, you're not trying to corrupt my grandson now are you?" he asked.

"Me Old Man, no, never." Naruto said trying to sound as innocent as possible. The rest of the day was spent helping Konohamaru with his accuracy.

The Next Next Next Day

Kakashi walked up to training ground 7 with a smile on his face.

"Good morning class." He said pleasantly.

"You're late!" Sakura and Sasuke shouted at him. Kakashi eye smiled and noticed that Naruto was leaning against a tree munching on a carrot stick.

"Sorry, I was helping this little old lady with her groceries." Kakashi said. "Now, I've set this clock to go off at noon." He said and placed an alarm clock on a nearby stump. "And here I have two bells. The object of his exercise is to get these bells from me before the timer goes off. If you don't then you'll be tied to one of those stumps and have to watch me eat it in front of you." He tapped the bells together so that they dinged. "And to pass you just need one bell…apiece. Anyone who doesn't get a bell gets tied up, goes hungry, and then is sent back to the academy." Sakura and Sasuke looked nervous. Naruto meanwhile just finished his carrot stick. "You can use anything you like. And come at me with the intent to kill or else you won't stand a chance."

"But sensei, that's dangerous!" Sakura shouted. Naruto just rolled his eyes.

"Come on Sakura, this guy is an elite jonin, a former ANBU captain, veteran of the third shinobi world war, and a student of the legendary fourth Hokage." Naruto said annoyed. "We'd be lucky to even scratch him." Sakura and Sasuke were looking at him stunned while Kakashi was impressed. "What, I did my homework yesterday. I also happen to know that he's a porn addict and is chronically tardy by about two and a half hours unless it's important."

"All right that's enough of that." Kakashi said quickly. "I don't know about the other two, but I think I'm starting to like you kid." Kakashi said. "Now, ready…set…go!" The four ninja disappeared in blurs of movement.

Kakashi stood in the field looking around. He had to admit those kids were pretty good at stealth, they'd hidden themselves well. He could still since their chakra, but he was a jonin after all.

"Hey, Kakashi sensei," Naruto said, walking into the clearing.

"Naruto, you know it would be better to sneak up on me right?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah, but I already know the meaning behind the test and I can tell you that it'll be a failure," Naruto said.

"Oh really?" said Kakashi.

"Yeah, I'll explain later." Naruto said with a wave of his hand. "I was wondering if you would spare with me real fast, I'd like to see how my skills stack up against a real ninja." Kakashi looked at the boy and gave him an eye smile.

"Sure Naruto, show me what you can do." He said. Naruto smiled and crossed his fingers.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" shouted Naruto and the field was quickly filled with thousands of Narutos.

Shadow Clones, I heard that he used this jutsu to beat Mizuki, let's just see how he uses it. Kakashi though. His other two students were having other thoughts.

Those are flesh and blood, what technique is that? Sakura asked. First he talks back to me, then he flips me off, and now he pulls out a technique like this? What happened?

Where did this dobe learn a move like that? Sasuke seethed. A technique like that should be known by an Uchiha, not some no clan orphan loser.

The clones all charged at Kakashi. The first one that got there used a one-two punch that was quickly blocked and then Kakashi had to block one coming in with a rising knee. He almost missed the one above him attacking with a double hammer fist, but managed to jump out of the way just as a fourth clone vaulted over the previous clone and landed a kick to Kakashi's chest. The fourth clone jumped over the fifth's back and hit Kakashi twice in the head with a spinning bicycle kick. Then the two clones each kicked Kakashi in the chest and jumped off, sending him skidding back.

An interesting tactic, Kakashi thought. He's using the advantage of numbers to try and keep my off guard. Kakashi thought. Basically he's using a small army to fight a single opponent. Given the situation, that's rather clever.

Kakashi didn't get much time to relax as another clone came charging at him with an uppercut that changed into a flip kick. Kakashi jumped into the air to avoid the attack and twisted in midair to avoid the jumping kick from the next clone.

When did Naruto get this good? Sakura wondered again from her hiding place. He never won any of the matches back at the academy. Hell, he never even learned the academy style of taijutsu.

As soon as Kakashi landed, yet another clone came charging forward and unleashed a series of blows at him. He was so distracted he almost didn't notice the one coming in and was forced to replace himself with one of the clones before it got kicked in the jaw and sent flying.

Where? Sasuke thought in rage. Where did he get all this strength, I need that power so that I can finally kill him!

Where Kakashi had appeared after switching with the clone, another Naruto came sliding into him, trying to knock him off balance. At the same time another attacked from the sky with a diving punch. Kakashi grabbed the clone by the arm and swung him around to intercept the one that had been coming in with a spinning ax kick.

"Not bad Naruto." Kakashi said. "But it's going to take more than that to defeat me."

"Good thing that's not all I've got!" One of the Narutos shouted as it an a partner jumped into the air, flying at Kakashi. The two Narutos spun each other around, each trying to hit Kakashi before he grabbed them and threw them towards two more clones that were trying to ambush him.

From the smoke the clones created after they dispersed, two more clones came charging forward and Kakashi was forced to fend them off. However, he didn't notice that they were leading him right into the waiting arms of a third Naruto who grabbed him around the waist.

Caught off guard, Kakashi was swung around into the kick of a waiting clone that sent Kakashi air born while the clone that had swung him flipped up into the air and hit him in the face with an ax kick that sent him flying strait into the ground.

Sakura and Sasuke were shocked, to say the least. Naruto Uzumaki, the student considered by most to be least likely to succeed as a ninja had just landed a good strong blow against a jonin, and a pretty damn good one if the résumé Naruto had said was to be believed. Kakashi sat up, rubbing his head. He had to admit, Naruto was pretty good in a fight like this. He lacked any kind of style, but he could clearly hold his own in an all-out brawl.

He was pulled out of his thoughts at the sight of a pair of windmill shuriken coming at him. He was able to block the blades with a pair of kunai but wasn't expecting them to turn into more clones of Naruto. They'd managed to get a couple of glancing blows before Kakashi crashed their skulls together, forcing them to disappear in puffs of smoke.

From that smoke, burst three clones that slid kicked Kakashi into the air where a couple hundred Narutos started flying at him. It took Kakashi everything to dodge and redirect the clones. When he spotted two remaining Narutos come flying at him, he flipped himself over their heads.

As soon as he hit the ground through, he noticed the growing shadows closing in on him. His eye widened as the air-born Narutos came down to dog pile him. But Naruto clearly wasn't done yet, one Naruto started to pull out the others, with Kakashi at the end of the chain. Naruto swung the string of clones and one teacher around like a lasso before slamming them into the ground.

The clones all disappeared, leaving only the Naruto that had been on the throwing end of the chain panting slightly. And then a second after the smoke cleared, Kakashi himself disappeared. Naruto blinked and hung his head.

"When did you switch yourself out with a shadow clone?" he asked. Kakashi appeared behind him, leaning against a tree and reading through a little orange book.

"Oh about the time I switched with one of your clones to save myself from getting nailed by that kick." Kakashi said off handedly.

"So you created a shadow clone and had it switch with one of my clones while you switched with a rock or something in the area?" asked Naruto in defeat.

"Yep," Kakashi confirmed, turning the page. "Though I have to say you're fighting style is," Kakashi was suddenly cut off as wave of shuriken nailed him in the head. Or at least that's what it looked like. A puff of smoke later showed a plank of wood with the shuriken buried in it.

"Thanks a lot Sasuke," Naruto grumbled. Shrugging, Naruto walked over to the posts with plans on studying the backs of his eyelids. At least that was the plan until he noticed the stone that was behind the posts.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Naruto examined the stone and started examining the stone. It appeared to be covered with various names.

"Obito Uchiha, probably one of Sasuke's relatives." He muttered to himself and continued looking. "Kyuga Aburame, hang on, didn't Shino have an uncle named Kyuga?" Naruto kept looking through the stone until he came across another name that he recognized: Okami Inuzuka, Kiba's father. That was when the meaning of this stone hit home for Naruto.

He heard Sakura's scream, but ignored it. He'd just made a surprising discovery, Kakashi probably wouldn't do anything to extreme during the test, and Naruto's crush on her had all been part of an act. Naruto pulled out a pencil and some paper and started examining the stone. Whenever he was lucky enough to find the name Uzumaki or Namikaze, he would rub the pencil across the paper and get the name onto the paper. By the time he finished, Kakashi had appeared up on the stumps.

"Yo," he said lazily, making Naruto jump. "You shouldn't let your guard down, even during a test."

"Right, sorry," Naruto said, "I just got so engrossed on this stone," Kakashi walked over next to him.

"See anyone you know?" he asked.

"A friend's dad, and I think another one's uncle." Naruto said. "And, maybe some family." He showed Kakashi the paper.

"Namikaze?" asked the cycloptic jonin.

"Yeah, I know who my dad was," Naruto said. "Dog." Kakashi's eye widened and Naruto smiled.

"You're not as dumb as you acted during the academy are you?" Kakashi asked.

"Nah," Naruto said. "I just played the fool during the academy to keep certain undersireables off my back." Kakashi nodded. The pair heard another scream and glanced out at the field.

"Jeeze Kakashi, what did you do to Sakura and Sasuke?" asked Naruto.

"Well I put Sakura under a genjutsu that showed Sasuke beaten, battered, broken, and within an inch of his life. She fainted." Kakashi said. "Sasuke actually surprised me, he managed to get his fingers on one of the bells and launch a fireball jutsu at me." Naruto blinked in surprise.

"Sasuke actually knows the Fireball Jutsu?" he asked and let out a low whistle, maybe Sasuke actually had some legitimate skills after all.

"Yes," Kakashi confirmed, "but in the end I buried him up to his neck with my headhunter jutsu."

"That explains why Sakura just screamed," Naruto said. "She probably saw Sasuke's 'severed' head. Probably fainted again,"

"They've really lowered the standards of being a ninja since my time." Kakashi said shaking his head. "By the way, I've got a little critique of your fighting style." Naruto gave the jonin his full attention. "You don't have any form of style what-so-ever. Your main fighting strategy was to attack me with multiple numbers and try and catch me off guard, which you actually did a few times. Also, what was that trick you did with the windmill shuriken?"

"Oh that? I call it the demon wind bomb." Naruto explained. "I use the Transformations Jutsu to turn myself and one of my Shadow Clones into the shuriken and have another clone throw us. While the enemy is expecting to have to deal with a pair of shuriken, instead they have to fight of a pair of me."

"Very ingenious Naruto," Kakashi praised. The timer went off. "Times up,"

"Looks like," Naruto agreed. The pair waited for Sakura and Sasuke to arrive. About 10 minutes later, the three ninja hopefuls were standing in front of the posts and Kakashi stood in front of them. Sakura and Sasuke's stomachs were growling while Naruto just looked a little bored.

"Now, I have an announcement about your examination." Kakashi said. "None of you have to worry about going back to the ninja academy." Sakura looked stunned, Sasuke just have his signature grunts, while Naruto raised his eyebrow at him. "Because all of you are so hopeless that any further training would be pointless. None of you will ever be shinobi!"

To be continued…

So what do you all think? My original idea for a Naruto/Kamen Rider cross over was going to be more of a Naruto version of Kamen Rider W, but I couldn't decide how to do it so I just went with this instead.
