Hello one and all, as you've no doubt guessed this is another one of my Naruto fictions, by now you all know my favourite thing in a Naruto fiction and that is an OP Naruto, and what can an OP Naruto fiction not be without, you got it, Character bashing, that and a harem, of which this fiction will have both, it will differ from my other Naruto fiction in a few ways, one we won't be starting off before the academy, Naruto will have been the class clown hiding his strength the entire way through it, sorry if you don't like that, if you want to see him kick ass in the academy my Naruto the true Uzumaki fiction is more for you, this fiction is different in that way.

Two Naruto and Kiba aren't friends and Kiba is kind of a douche here, but Naruto and Tsume will fix that down the line

Three, Sakura and Sasuke bashing will be occurring in this fiction, cause I can't help but bash the Emo, but Sakura will be getting redemption later on, Sasuke I don't know about yet I might but as it stands no

This fiction will have an OC insert thrown in here and there to make it interesting, how things happened will be shown in Flash backs cause I want to get right into the team placements

For the most part this fiction will be in the 1st person perspective, I wanted to give it a try so that's that.

My last note is that I detest Flamers, if you don't have anything useful to review don't leave one, if you do I'll just ignore it, I don't have time for worthless flamers, but if you have something helpful to say by all means leave a review and I'll get back to you in the next chapter or in a PM, if you want to plead with me to make a drastic change to my fiction plan forget it now, this is my fiction, while I may not own Naruto, I enjoy writing my own way unless I decide to change something it will not be changed. Recommendations may be made but no demands.

Alright enjoy the read and leave a good detailed review thanks =)

I stare up at a stone ceiling as I run my hand through my spikey blond hair as I lie on a small corner bed with plain white sheets. The walls around me are plain stone and plaster, covered in a grey paint that has faded and chipped over the years. I take in a breath as I swing my legs out of bed, tossing the covers aside I stand up hearing a lot of popping coming from my joints as I stretches after a long night in bed, 'Damn that feels good.'

I start walking as I clap my hands once as the lights come on showing the interior of the hidden bunker I use as my safe haven. The only true last place I actually feel safe in this Kami forsaken village. I walk into the bathroom flipping the tap as cold water fills the basin, after a second I turn it off and splash the cold water in my face feeling myself awaken fully from my half asleep state. I relax my feet on the cold slate flooring as take another breath before opening my eyes.

I look in the mirror as my blue eyes looked back at me as I let a slight grin come to my lips, 'Finally todays the day, no more clowning around, it's been four year but it will all have been worth in when I Naruto Uzumaki become a shinobi.'

I look myself over in the mirror, my body was muscular and well tones not an inch of wasted fat or skin, but then that's what you get for training your ass off for three and a half years. I let my eyes trace down his abs to fall on something I have long since grown accustomed to, the Hakke Fūin (Eight Trigrams Seal).

'You awake Kurama?' I called out mentally in my mind waiting for the rough voice to respond.

'Ay, Kit I'm awake, and I'm looking forward to the show today it's been a long time coming' the Dark voice responded.

'That is has', I flex my neck once more to the left and right letting two loud pops echo out, "after today I can finally have stop putting on that kami ugly track suit, and show the world the real Naruto Uzumaki."

I drop my slacks as I walk into the shower and let the cold water wash over my body, cold shower nothing like it to get the blood pumping, before turning it to a more comfortable temperature.

After leaving the shower I grab a towel and begin to dry myself off, walking over to the other side of bunker towards my closet.

The concrete bunker was the only safe haven I had in the whole village sure there was Hokage-Jiji's office no one would dare lay a finger on me in front of Jiji, but I couldn't live there. My apartment, what was left of it, wasn't safe at all. Everyone in the village knew where I lived and they all wanted me dead, well, as close as they could beat me to it at least, the majority of them anyway like 99.7% did, but that was only counting the adults, I have had my share of beatings and attacks over the years, but the military police never gave a damn. Hell I could even remember some of them watching as it happened and some even taking part, 'Bunch of lousy bastards', but they always left me alive not wanting to risk what was inside me getting out.

'Oie I'm right here you know.'

'Sorry Kurama, but it's true.'

'I know but that will all change.'

'Damn straight.'

I walked over to the wardrobe now dry and began pulling on my new gear, that I had 'acquired' over the past six months from those shops that had 'accidently' over charged me at five times the normal price. Never got caught of course, but I can think of a group that would love to prove I did.

The civilian council, has been trying to screw me over since I could walk, I only put that together after I found out all the secrets Hokage-Jiji and the rest of them have been hiding from me, and let me tell you I was pissed.

I had been pulled into my subconscious after a rather brutal attack, well a more brutal than normal attack, and found myself waking up in a dark abys sitting on the floor with water dripping all around me and in front of me a massive barred door, and on the other side was the biggest set of teeth I have ever seen.

'He-he-he thanks kid.'

'And the foulest breath.'

'What you want me to rip you to..."

"ENOUGH, KURAMA STOP INTERUPTING NARUTO, AND NARUTO STOP DISSING THE SENSATIVE FOX OVER HERE"

'I'm not sensitive!'

"I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH OUT OF YOU, OR ELSE YOU'LL REGRET IT"

'Or what, what ya going to do'

"HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF THE NINE TAILS FOX IT'S A CUTE AND CUDDLY NINE TAILS BUNNY RABBIT INSTEAD"

'…..'

"THOUGHT THAT WOULD WORK, NOW NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS NARUTO CONTINUE"

'Thanks author-Sama, anyway…'

Needless to say the teeth wasn't very pleased with what had been going on outside and finally decided to make himself known, and I of course was freaking out as the massive nine tailed fox in front of me, things progressed after I finally calmed down and the fox told me everything, about it, about the past, who I was, and what happened the night of the attack, how he was pulled out and made to attack the village, after that the two of us came to an understanding, in exchange for his power and knowledge I would be a better container and also promise if I ever came across the man that controlled him that night I would end him.

After that whole incident I started training a whole lot more, in secret of course couldn't let those bastards from the civilian council catch me actually getting stronger if they did they'd do their worst and get me kicked from the academy and I'll be damned if I'm going to be under their thumb for the rest of my life, at least if I'm under Jijis protection as a shinobi of the village I'm free to do as I like and there are laws protecting me from everyone else. So how did I do it you ask, it was a pain in the butt the first few nights until I got the shadow clone technique down thanks to Kurama for teaching me it, turns out have a very old tenant inside you to teach you stuff can come in handy.

'…Gaki'

'It was a complement'

After I learned that technique my training really sped up, while I was training at night I had a few hundred clones assisting and gathering resources, you wouldn't believe how wasteful shinobi can be, leaving old scrolls and weapons just lying around on the training fields when they're of no use any more, hell I even sent a few expedition teams into the forest of death the day after any exams are done to gather up anything useful and there was loads. Sure it took a while given how dangerous the place is but I was easily able to do it after the first year of training, noting gets wasted, and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay anyone in the village for anything I need, I live off the land and down here, it's got its own little lamp garden perfect for growing all the fruit and veg I need, and when it comes to the things I can't get myself which normally comes down to eggs and milk, I send a transformed shadow clone to the store and buy as I need and no more, a guy can't live off ramen alone though there was a time when I tried for a while.

I dust myself off in my new kit, long black combat trousers with three pockets down the leg, a black no sleeved shirt underneath and I pulled on a sleeveless black coat with a hood on the back, I pulled over my black face mask but kept it around my neck as I pulled on my red armband with the Uzumaki clan symbol on it in white. Same that's on the back of my coat.

I had done my research on my mother's clan in the days that followed me finding out about my parents, I had learned how they were extremely knowledgeable in the art of Fūinjutsu (seals and sealing) and were both respected and feared worldwide because of their prodigious skill. But that however eventually led to the destruction of Uzushiogakure and the rest of the Land of Whirlpools during the era of Shinobi World Wars, as other nations had begun to see the village as too great a threat to go unchecked. And how it was a combined assault from enemy villages that destroyed and decimated my mother's clan in a three day siege, and that the leaf villages aid only arrived on the forth when it was too late, but that they drove what little remained of the enemy forces into the ground, hence why there is a red and black swirl on the back of every Chūnin and jonnie flat jacket as a sign of remembrance for their failure that night not that I blame them they did what they could, but what burns me is the fact that isn't taught in the academy curriculum it was removed by the civilian council, probably didn't want me knowing about my heritage, or trying to resurrect my clan, no all they care about is their precious Sasuke Uchiha the last Uchiha. Damn I partied hard that night of the Uchiha slaughter about seventy percent of my attacks were from the Uchiha, bastards. So hell yea I didn't feel like morning for them, if I ever meet Itachi Uchiha I'm buying that man a drink, I know he had his own reasons for doing it, but my life got a whole lot easier after that night.

I open the door to the rest of the bunker and I close the door and begin walking through the hall to the storage room, I clap again and the light comes on as I kited up, pulling two scrolls filled with shrunken and kunai and slot them into my pants pocket, I grab a bag on food pills and dropped them in my back one, before pulling the rest, of my kit.

I walk out of the room clapping again turning off the light as I smirk slightly looking to the end of the hall and the passage to the street that is actually a gaping hole with an inviable barrier and illusion Jutsu that I set up after having discovering this place the first time, it was originally a trick wall that opened out if you pushed on a certain brick, I had discovered it once when I was being chased by a group of villagers on the anniversary of the nine tails attack, my birthday, I got ahead of them and ran down the alleyway only to discover it was a dead end, I tried to clime the wall but ended up flipping the switch and opened the door then fell on my face inside as it closed, luckily there was a little light and I found a light switch and the stuff that was in here before hand let me tell you this, it was stuff out of nightmares, or a sadists fun book. Some of the most rancid sights I've ever seen or smelled in my life, and I've been in the forest of death after the Chūnin and Jōnin exams and that stuff can get nasty. I piled all the stuff out in the forest and burned the lot of it, well anything that wasn't useful that is, waste not what not. There were some pretty advanced Jutsu scrolls and an armoury I kept for myself, plus there was even a training room in here that has come in handy over the years, I just leave a shadow clone at the apartment with enough chakra for the weekend and tell him to study why I sneak here to train myself, the place even has a kitchen so I never have to leave, well the odd time sure for fresh air but the place is surprisingly well ventilated, who ever built this place knew what they were doing I'll say that much.

"Well time to start the day."

I walk to the door as I pull on my leaf Hitai-ate that I got yesterday. Yea I passed the exam, talk about a miracle, I know I could have passed it in my sleep half the stuff I learned within the week of finding out the truth and the Jutsu and skills part of it was a piece of piss to, but I had a plan and I had to stick to it if I was going to be a shinobi, technically I'm not right now, I did my research, that first three part test is just weeding out the hopeless from the possible, the real test will be done after we're in out teams, and as much as I hate it there is one team I have to be in, that pampered Uchiha's, it's the only way I'll pass. No doubt the sensei who gets him will have orders to pass him and whatever team he's on regardless so it's the only possible way I'll pass, any other instructor would mostly likely fail whatever team I'm on just because of me being the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi, damn bastards can't even tell the difference between a sword and the scroll its sealed in.

Anyway I knew in order to get on his team I had to be dead last in our year otherwise I'd never land in his team with the way the academy sets out teams, they need to be balanced so the best student levels out with the worst student, and that's would be Sasuke-Teme and me, they'll probably put a book smart girl in-between us, that's Sakura no doubt her mother will have probably pulled some strings or sucked some cock to get her placed with Sasuke, she's been trying to get those two together from the very start, hell I'd bet she'd be willing to mount him if she could get away with it all to get her family into some prestigious clan. Yea right he's the last one some prestige that is, and I just couldn't help myself but try to throw some monkey wrenches into it by showing interest in Sakura and constantly trying to get her to go out with me, don't get me wrong she's good looking but the pinkie is a fan girl if she didn't have her mother yapping in her ear and Sasuke vision and a complete obsessional competition with Ino, she might just make a good Kunoichi.

Walking through the barrier I simply used a Shunshin in a gust of black leaves reappearing in my apartment looking over to see my clone meditating on the bed, I release him and discard any useless memories, a trick Kurama taught me to do gotta love the memory palace.

I look around my apartment at the mess, it has been trashed a few nights before. I never kept anything here other that some spare clothes so I couldn't really care about the rest, the bunker was more a home than here, I had come back here more times than I can remember only to walk into some painful traps some of the villagers and probably other shinobi had set up, but they had helped me become more aware on my surroundings over the years and sharpen my reflexes. I can't tell you the number of times I've had to dodge a dozen or so kunai coming at me as I open the door to my room, or how I had to barricade my windows to keep projectiles out or block my mail slot to keep people dropping stink bombs in or dog shit, but those had mainly been kids. There was even a year when the place was hit with a low explosive tag, I spend a week repairing the ceiling after that one, only because I had to scavenge for the materials cause the shops wouldn't sell me the materials.

'Well after today hopefully all that will be behind me, because now if anyone of them tries to attack me I'll have the right to return their gesture without fear of reprisals.'

Keeping up my charade of living here I opened the door and walked out with a smirk on my face, I could feel my ANBU watchers chakra though they were suppressing it. 'Still didn't suspect a thing.'

I began to walk down the steps onto the street getting some of the usual looks and some unusual looks, most were looking at me cold or with anger, distrust, resentment, disgust. But now there were some curious glances coming my way, 'Must be my new attire, yea I can't wait to see how heads turn when I get to class and people start reacting to it, a little part of me is actually looking forward to it.'

'So am I, it will finally be time to put a few punks in their place and go after that vixen that's always had her eyes on you.'

'Yea finally time to return my feelings to Hinata-Chan, I won't imagine her clan will like that very much but I will deal with them personally if they even try to put that damn seal on her, that thing is an insult to all seals and anyone who practices the art. I should march into the compound and erase every single trace of them doing something like that to people who are your family is beyond inhuman.'

'Calm it partner, no need to go blowing your top over such matters we'll get to them in time.'

I take a deep breath while walking to calm down, I could feel my fingernails shrinking again, 'Thanks Kurama, can't go ape shit in the middle of town, don't think Jiji would like that'.

I looked up at the Hokage monument with a smirk, 'I be sure to make you proud Tou-san, I'll be damned if I'm going to let this village to continue to look down on me and treat me like this, I'll restore the Uzumaki clan, I'll become Hokage and make them see just who they have been shunning all these years, that I swear.'

I came up to the academy hands in my pockets still remembering Iruka-sensei's face when he was able to present me with the leaf Hitai-ate, I had of course replace the blue sash with a black one to match my attire, still awesome. Mizuki-Sensei had looked annoyed that I had passed, but he had congratulated me all the same, I could tell he never meant a word of it, asshole.

I had taken the back way in, and just as I opened the door I heard a noise behind me, I glance to see Sakura and Ino coming down the hallway at high speed butting heads the entire way, they didn't even notice as I stood to the side and they just pushed past me pushing their way into the room, as they entered they began bickering who was first I just sighed listening to the two of them.

"No way Ino-pig, my foot was at least an inch ahead of yours!"

"In your billboard brow dreams maybe, I was inches ahead of you!"

'It's too early in the morning for yelling.' I just walk in the door and they don't even notice as I put my hand behind their head and in a single motion…

*KONK*

I knock their heads together and they slump to the floor seeing stars, everyone looks up at the sudden silence, we'll all accept the brooding Uchiha that is, a small smile graces my lip.

"Ah silence that's much better." I say as I begin to walk down the steps to the sit opposite Hinata-Chan and smile sitting down, I can already see her cheeks are blushing. 'So cute, I just want to pick her up and squeeze her like a teddy bear, I want to hug her tight and never let go, mo~ Hinata-Chan why are you soooooooooo cute~'

As I'm doing my best not to hug Hinata with all my might, Shikamaru passes us and looks at me, "What are you doing here Naruto, this class isn't for drop outs?"

I smirk, Shikamaru is smart, and it's only fair that he thinks I failed, I was acting like a clown for three and a half years and then acting out all the years' prier so I cut him a little slack.

"Look again Shikamaru, they generally don't give you one of these if you fail" I say touching my Hitai-ate (headband).

He sigh "Mendokusē (Troublesome), well congrats on passing I suppose", he offers me a handshake and I take it with a nod, he walks away.

'Naruto-kun you did pass, I'm so glad,' though Hinata blushing like crazy, 'hopefully we'll be on the same team' Hinata thought as she looked to Naruto trying not to let him see her do so but failing.

I glanced out the side of my eye to see Hinata looking at me, I smiled 'Well now's a good a time as ever'. I turned to look at her.

"Hey Hinata, mind if I ask you something?"

Hinatas cheeks blushed hearing Naruto talk to her she was suddenly feeling so warm, "Y-Yes N-Naruto-kun, what do you want to a-ask me?" She stuttered out.

"I was just wondering if perhaps we could go out for a meal some time, we never normally do but I was hoping we could change that and get to know each other a bit better?"

'Eeeeeeeeee, Naruto-kun asking me out on a date, a date, a date, a date with Naruto-kun…don't faint don't faint don't….oh.'

Suddenly Hinatas head started to bob and yep she fainted. I sighed, 'Sometimes she's just too cute for her own good some times' I muse in my though my I was brought out of my though by someone barking at me.

"Hey 'dead last' that's my seat, scram."

I look over my shoulder to see Kiba Inuzuka glairing down at me with his partner, Akamaru, in his coat, I sigh thinking this would happen, he'd been acting all high and might all year ever since he got the seat beside Hinata at the start of the year and has been eyeing her up much to my displeasure, I acutely had to sabotage some of his attempts to get close to Hinata, not that she would ever consider go with this mutt over me, but I was taking no chance with Hinata-Chan, I know how this punk views women cause I've heard him talking and boasting in the past there no way in hell I'm letting him treat Hinata like that I'd rather gouge out my own eyeballs and bow to Sasuke-Teme before I would even consider that, If he tries anything I'll neuter him with a blunt kunai before he so much as even lays one stinking paw on her.

"There are other seats Kiba-san, and this one has already been claimed," I say in as calm a tone as possible, while every bone in my body is screaming at me to skin this punk alive, him and his mutt, "I have no intention of moving as I'm quite comfy here"

"Yea well tough shit, that my seat next to my woman, now move it."

'His woman!'

'Oh shit. Of all the things he could have said, that was probably in the top five of the worst things he could say in this situation, good bye dog boy.'

*CRACK*, *CRASH*

Everyone in the room flinched at the first sound, flesh impacting flesh as I swung round and backhanded Kiba across his face and sent him flying down the stairs and crashed into the floor he was most definite seeing dog bones dancing around his head.

I stood up and make my way down to him picking him up by his collar and hoisting him off the ground and holding him in mid-air, showing no emotion I speak.

"Let's get one thing straight here mutt, Hinata belongs to no one but herself, she is not your property, nor is any woman for that fact, so I will make this as clear as possible, should I ever hear you talk to any woman or anyone like you own them or you think you are above them again, or even try to lay a finger on a woman who does not want you to, I will personally see to it that you find yourself balls deep in a blunt bear trap AM I UNDERSTOOD!?" I say that last bit letting some killing intent leak out, and I can see him break out in a cold sweat at Akamaru cowers in his coat.

I release my grip on him and he lands on his feet only to drop to his arse, eyes wide not sure what just happened, I smirk and turn to head back up the steps to my seat, the whole time I can feel everyone watching me, I couldn't help but smirk inwardly, 'Just the reaction I was hoping for.'

'We both were, no more playing weakling it's time to start kicking ass, and that pup and the two bitches were the perfect starters.'

'Lay off the girls will ya, Ino isn't too bad just a loud mouth. Sakura's the same the only real prick is the emo.'

I let my eyes glance over and see the always brooding Sasuke-Teme is now staring at me in a sideways glance, 'Keep watching Teme, next time we spar I'm going to enjoy beating you down.'

I return to my seat and look over to see Hinata is still sleeping I was about to wake her up when everyone hears, "OWWWWWWW!" from the two loud mouths I knocked out on entering the room, 'Looks like those two are awake. They really need to build up their capacity for pain, I didn't even knock them together that hard it was only a tap yet they were out cold. Not good for field ops.'

"Would you two keep it down some of us would still like to be able to hear when we're twenty, and you're distracting the emo from his brooding."

There were a few chuckles around the room, everyone knew who I was talking about, and now his curious sideways stare had become a sideways glair. I gave a little smirk before holding my ears

""NA-RU-TO!"" both bimbos yelled

"I thought I told you two to keep it down." I snarled giving them a glance at them loaded with killing intent.

Ever since Kurama started giving me control over his chakra I've noticed slight changes one of the major ones being my senses are all heightened, hearing, sight all heightened to the extreme of where I can hear those in other rooms, or see the smallest details most don't see, I'm not comparing it to the Byakugan, cause kami knows they can see for miles, like 20/1000, mine would be about a fourth of that say 20/250, I'm good but I'm no Byakugan, and with my hearing, and their screaming I was starting to get a headache.

Now in fairness Ino shivered at the killing intent I threw her way and she immediately backed down with her eyes wide.

'D-Did that come from Naruto, what the hell was that, if felt like a chill ran down my spine and I was punched in the gut at the same time so hard I couldn't breathe' she slowly took her seat still visibly shaken.

'I'll have to apologies later I can be a little testy sometimes maybe a little less next time', but to no surprize Sakura completely ignored it and was still bitching my ear off me.

"WHAT THE HELL BAKA, YOU COME IN OUT OF NO WHERE AND WHACK ME OVER THE HEAD, WHAT THE FUCK, AND WHAT THE HELLS UP WITH YOUR CLOTHES, ARE YOU TRYING TO BE COOL LIKE SASKUE-KUN IF SO IT'S NEVER GOING TO…"

Before she could say another word I was standing face to face with her eyes narrowed scowl on my face, and I used the same tone as I did with Kiba towards the end.

"What part of keep it down, aren't you getting, for someone wanting to be a Kunoichi you really don't know when to shut up, billboard brow. So let me give you some helpful advice, when someone tells you to shut up you shut the fuck up, especially when that someone has a headache from you running your mouth on eleven when he has sensitive hearing, and for the record I didn't even hit you that hard, it was a simple smack to the back of the head to get you to shut up, though I see it's had the opposite affect for some reason, so unless you want me to really hit you, take my advice. SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I END UP SLITTING YOUR KAMI DAMN THROAT!"

*THUMP*

I sigh, 'That did it.', I put so much killing intent into that last bit she collapses on the floor from the exposure, I shake my head as I bend down and pick her up and carry her down the steps bridle style and I come to the free seat beside Sasuke-Teme.

"One passed out Uchiha fan girl for the brooding emo" I say as I sit her down, "at least this way she will be quite for a few minutes to let you continue with your brooding" I turn to walk away.

"Dope. What with the new look?"

I turn looking at him with an uninterested look, "Not that is any of your business Uchiha, but I just thought I'd get serious now seeing as we're now shinobi, and will be going on missions shortly, I figured a kill me now orange track suit wouldn't exactly work well on missions requiring stealth." 'Not that I had any problems hiding from Jōnin and ANBU wearing it in when I did my pranks, great ways to test how far I had come, I could easily pull off stunts and get always undetected, but I enjoyed the chase a few times a week.' "It's not like I'm trying to steal your nickname emo, though if I suddenly dye my hair black, glue a duck's ass to the back of my head and start moping every day, then start worrying."

He glares at me at that last comment, as I turn to walk away I feel the air moving behind me and I tilt my head as a kunai whistles past my head and imbeds itself in the doorframe just as Iruka-sensei comes in, everyone gasps, I just raise an eyebrow. Iruka-sensei looks at me, strange for a minute, must be my new clothes, but then it turn to an unimpressed look, I jolt my thumb over my shoulder.

"Don't look at me, I was the intended target, that's all the Uchiha." I said as I walked up the steps.

Iruka watched me go but then looked to Sasuke, "Sasuke might I see you in the hall way for a moment?"

Sasuke glairs at me as he gets up and leaves with Iruka-sensei I just return to my seat as the door closes.

I look to the still sleeping Hinata, and smile as I placed my hand on her shoulder, gently shaking her to wake her up.

"Hinata, Hinata, come on its time to wake up Iruka-sensei will be in any moment now." I said as I gently shook her shoulder.

"Mmmm, I was having such a wonderful dream, I dreamt Naruto-kun was asking me out on date, but then everything went black and I never got to say yes." Hinata said as she started to wake up not realizing where she was.

I couldn't help but smile, "Well I've got good news then, that actually wasn't a dream, and I technically I only asked you out for dinner some time. But if you want we can make it a date?"

Hinatas eyes shot open staring into my blue eyes , and her cheeks went a dark crimson as she quickly covers her face with her hands, 'I can't believe I just said that in front of Naruto-kun.' Hinata turned away index fingers poking together and her head down with a blush on her cheeks.

I smiled at that as I got an idea, "I'll take that as a yes then, I'll look forward to it. How about tomorrow night I'll meet you at Ichirakus as six then, Hinata-Chan?"

Hinatas blush deepened even further till she looked red as a tomato, 'He called me Chan! He called me Chan! I must be dreaming, it's got to be a dream, or the best thing ever.'

I smiled watching her reaction, but turned to face the front when the doors opened and Teme walked back in followed by Iruka-sensei who just shook his head as he walked to position and faced the class. Only for him to look at the pinkette and asked.

"Why is Sakura, out cold?"

I raise my hand, "Because she's weak willed and has a loud mouth." I state plain as day everyone in the class chuckled.

Iruka-sensei stifled a chuckle shaking his head, "Well we can just inform her of the team assignment when she wakes up, now listen up team one…."

I zoned out until I actually heard some stuff that interested me, instead I leaned over and whispered

"Hey Ino."

My fellow blond jumped slightly at my voice, "Y-Yes,"

"Listen I'm sorry about that little chill earlier I need to learn to hold back some times. We cool?" I smiled.

"Y-Yea, we're cool Naruto." she gives a small smile back.

I nod as I looked down to the front of the room.

"Squad seven, Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha."

I smirk, 'Well what do ya know looks like my plan worked after all.'

"Squad eight, Hinata Hyūga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame."

I look over to see Hinata frowning, 'Awe, Hinata without a smile isn't cute at all, I just want to cuddle her and tell her it's going to be alright. But I've got to build up my new image, no more clown, its kick ass ninja time.''

I look over to Kiba glair filled with killing intent, he caught my glair and immediately looks away, 'that's right bitch cower before me. If I even get a whiff of you trying anything with Hinata, I'll make you wish you had never been born.'

"Squad nine is still in rotation so, squad ten, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Chōji Akimichi."

'Well, well just like their parents, the next generation of Ino-Shika-Cho is born, can't beat the classics. Now let's see who our Jōnin Sensei is going to be. Whoever it is I just hope he can keep the Teme in line, the last thing I need is to be worrying about is the Teme trying to stab me in the back. But I hope he tries, I don't give a damn what the council says and I could care less if he's the last Uchiha if he tries anything on me I won't mind lugging a body bag home after an accidental misfire of a bomb tag. Sure Sakura would morn for a while but then she can get on with her life and fine a none emo to settle down with.'

'Damn partner those are some dark thoughts…..I'm so proud.'

In the next five minutes we sat there as each of the other teams were claimed by their Sensei's and went on their way, even Iruka-sensei left after that after looking at the squad chart and sighed.

'Great looks like our squad leader is going to be a late riser in the morning well at least I know I can do my own training when he's not around, I wonder who it could be.' I thought as I got up and walked down to the front and looked at the list narrowing my eyes as I read the names, 'Squad seven, Kakashi Hatake, oh perfect, the copy ninja, well I should have seen that one coming he's the only one left in the village with a Sharingan now, so it would make sense to make him sensei of the team Teme is on, but I though he was in ANBU, I could have sworn he was Inu, and also my Tou-sans last living student, kind of ironic, but in a good way.'

I set down the list and I looked over to see Sakura starting to stir, this should be good. "Hey billboard brow wake up already."

Her head shoots up eyes wide with fear at my voice, 'Boy, I really did a number on her, oh well at least I won't have to worry about her trying anything with the Teme behind my back. But I still need her to be functional, time to do some damage control.'

I walked over to the now shaking Sakura who's eyes are wide like a dear in headlights, "Calm down Sakura, no one's going to hurt you it's just the three of us here, you see your right beside your brooding emo prince Sasuke-kun…...ok now I want to rinse my mouth out with soap."

Sakura glances over and sees Sasuke and starts to calm down, 'Better get comfortable, this could be a long wait'. I walk over to the window sill and sit on the edge and reach into my coat pulling out my copy of Icha Icha Paradise, a small orange book, open it and begin reading, 'Oh I love this part, I've read and re-read this book five times now and I still want more, I can't wait for the next addition to come out.'

Time skip

A further three hours have passed and the three of us are starting to get impatient, well the other two are, I'm quite happy reading my book, granted I could be doing something productive, like Fūinjutsu, as I finished the last books I found on it last month and I've learned all I can until I can find the copies I haven't been able to scavenge, and there's no way I'd take out one of my Jutsu scrolls, the Teme would just try to take it from me declaring it his right as an Uchiha to master all Jutsu, bull shit, he just want to kill Itachi. Tough shit, he's getting nothing from me, and him kill Itachi biggest pile of bullshit, Itachi would squash him like a bug. I wish he had that night, but I guess everyone has their limits, but there was always a small nag at the back of my mind, why would he do it, why would Itachi slaughter his own clan, it makes no since, I don't buy that bullshit that he did it to prove his strength, there's go to be some reason behind it, but what.

Slowly the door opens and we all look up to see a masked man poke his head in, he had a face mask on with his Hitai-ate covering his left eye, he looked around the room and stopped at me and then my book.

I smirked as I folded the page, closed it and slipped it back into my coat and stood up.

"Well my first impressions, two boring and one with an impeccable taste in reading material." he eye smiled at me, I grinned back, "Meet me on the roof in five." he said before disappearing out the door again.

I sighed with a smile as the other two headed out the door and took the long way up, I just opened the window, gripping the top and pulling myself out and standing on the wall and walked up the vertical surface. 'no sense having the skills and not using them, besides there only a few reasons why a Jōnin would be so late to an assignment, one he's just lazy, two he was setting booby traps to test his new students, or three both of the above'

I made it to the roof and sat down, next think I know Kakashi appears in a Shunshin with a whirlwind of leaves, he looks shocked seeing me already up here. He blinked a few times with his visible eye in shock. "How did….?"

"A ninja never reveals his secrets" I smiled.

Kakashi eye smiles at me, "That he does, or doesn't in this case."

As if on cue we both took out our little books and started reading, "How many time you read it?" I asked.

"Several, you?" he replied without missing a beat.

"Five, but I didn't get a copy for a while after it came out, I was late to the fun." I smirked.

We both smiled and went back to our reading. Five minutes later the door on the roof opened and Sakura and Sasuke come out the door looking like they had went through a minefield. Their hair was messy, their clothes torn and I swear I saw singe marks.

I simply looked to Kakashi, "I think I'm starting to like you already, Kakashi-sensei."

He eye smiles at me as we both watched out two team mates walk over to us and then the look of shock on their faces seeing me up here.

"How the hell did you get up here before us dope?" the Teme barked

"And how do you not have a scratch on you" wined the pinkette

I folded and closed my book, "That is for me to know and for you to… never find out!"

I can already feel the anger pulsing off of them both, "Dope you will tell me what I want to know."

"Maybe when you actually have a chance of doing it I'll tell you, but as you stand now, not a chance in hell." I smirked rolling my eyes.

His fists were clenching and he looked ready to swing for me, but then Kakashi stood up between us, "Alright that's enough from you two." He said.

I could feel the seriousness in his voice I knew he didn't want to see us fighting, I knew all about his past and the fact that he was the last of the three my father trained, so I would respect his wishes.

"No problem Kakashi-sensei, just a little spat between comrades, nothing to worry about." I say with a grin, Teme just *tchs* and brushes past us both and goes to sit down with Sakura following him like a lost pink kitten.

Kakashi leans in to my ear, "Is he always like that?"

"What, with a twenty foot pole rammed up his ass? Yes, but normally he's just a brooding emo, hopefully he'll be able to pull the pole out with a few weeks of training." I say with a grin, as I walk over and take a seat, Kakashi leans against the railing.

"Alright why don't you introduce yourselves one at a time?" Kakashi says with an eye smile.

"Introduce our selves what are we supposed to say?" asked Sakura.

*smack*

Everyone looks over at me face palming, before I groaned out, "Sakura did you really just ask for instructions on how to give an introduction?…Sometimes I think I'm losing faith in the academy teachings."

"What was that, Na-ru-to" Sakura said clenching her fist.

I stuck her with a glair and she immediately cowered behind Sasuke, I smirked.

"Alright settle down" Kakashi said raising his hands in a take it easy gesture, "Sakura what I meant by introduce yourselves, is simple, name, likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, maybe some Jutsu you use, hobbies that sort of thing. Here I'll go first, I'm Kakashi Hatake, things I like and things I hate…..I don't feel like telling you that, my dreams for the future…..never really thought about it, Jutsu I use…you'll see eventually, as for hobbies…. I have many hobbies, one of which is reading." he then looks to me with a smile and I smile back with a thumb up.

I smirked, 'well played Kakashi.'

"Alright well start with you Pinkie." Kakashi said pointing at Sakura.

"Hai, I'm Sakura Haruno, Jutsu I know, the basic academy stuff I guess, what I like…I mean the person I like is …ah" looks to Sasuke, "my hobbies….." looks to Sasuke, "my dreams for the future….."Looks to Sasuke, *high pitch squeal*

"And what do you hate?" asks Kakashi

"Naruto!"

Kakashi looks to me who right now is pulling my self across the floor, "Must get away…..from….fan girl…..screaming" he chuckles, "You're up Emo."

Sasuke growls, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I hate a lot of things, and don't particularly like anything, Jutsu I use…. Mostly my clans' fire style, what I have is not a dream because I will see it a reality, I will restore my clan and kill a certain someone."

Wind blows over the roof and everyone is in thought.

'Damn classic brooding emo, oh well I'm sure Kakashi will be able to pull the poll out his ass, I hope.' I thought.

'Oooooh, Sasuke so hot, and you will be mine.' Sakura thought.

'He's worse then I thought, well the sooner I get to pulling the sooner he can get to acting like a real shinobi and put all that Itachi shit behind him. But damn I just hope they can get it together as a team, I know I've got to pass them because of him being on this team, so if they can work together that will just make it a little easier', thought Kakashi "Alright your up Blondie."

I had returned to my original position but I was lying back looking up at the clouds, thinking best how to approach this. 'Well here we go.'

"Names Naruto Uzumaki, things I like…..I can't really think of any I want to put out there, things I hate, that's a long list, and we don't have time to hear it all so I'll some it up into the top three, the civilian council, ignorant people, and pink haired fan girls, as for hobbies, reading and training basically covers that, Jutsu, you'll see soon enough, and dreams for the future, to become Hokage is my ambition to protect those closes to me and see wrongs made right….I think that about covers it."

There was an even quieter silence after words

'Hm he's grown up into quite an interesting boy, and those are some pretty vague and other accurate hates, but then given the life he's lead I can't exactly blame him, I can't count the number of times when I had to pull him from a mob or carry him to the hospital after one of those incidents' though Kakashi.

'….' Thought Sasuke.

'What the hell was that all about, that wasn't like Naruto at all, where's the fun goofy kid from a few days ago and the last four years, and he used to be so naive what changed in him?…Wait did he say the civilian council?', thought Sakura "Hey why do you hate the civilian council, my mother's on that council."

I looked to Sakura, "Yes and she is just one of the many reasons why the council is in my top three, right up there with the rest of the village and you, so our feeling are mutual, Sakura."

There was a stunned moment of silence as Sakuras eyes grew wide, 'No Chan, just Sakura what happened to him to make him like this, to change from the little boy who was fawning over me all the time, this isn't the Naruto I know at all.'

The silence continued for a few more moments before Kakashi broke the silence

"Well it's good to see you all have unique personalities and dreams, now we relax until tomorrow when we will be staring our first mission."

I smiled slightly at that, 'Looks like he's not fooling around straight down to the next test tomorrow, I don't mind that it will give me a chance to talk to Jiji and I've got my date with Hinata-Chan tomorrow so I can just spend the rest of the day setting things in motion.'

"What kind of mission is it Sensei?" asked Sakura, both Kakashi-Sensei and I chuckled at that, Kakashi looked to me .

"I take it someone's done his research on what the first task is all teams preform before they actually are put to work?" Kakashi asks me eye smiling.

I chuckled, "Yep and I have to say it's devious, I'll let you tell them I just want to watch their reactions."

Both the pinkette and duck butt look at me for a second but then roll their eyes and look back to Kakashi.

"Alright, it's a survival exercise unlike any you have done previously at the academy previously." Kakashi grinned through his mask.

"What's so special about this exercise?" Sakura asked clueless, that's where I spoke up.

"Well that's the kicker Sakura, out of the twenty seven of us who graduated from the academy, only nine will actually be accepted as Genin, the rest will be ether dropped back to the academy or dropped from the program all together, now you see why I was chuckling before, odds are only one of us will pass from each team, though there is always a change for two to pass, but we'll see how it goes." I smiles and glanced over at the both of them, Sakura couldn't hide her shock her eyes were wide, while duck butt, he at least could hide his shock better but his arms were still shaking at this. I looked to Kakashi-Sensei "Sorry about stealing your thunder Sensei I just really want to see the looks on their faces, and it was worth it. Anything you want to add to it?"

"No problem Naruto and yes there is one thing I would like to add, the test will be tomorrow 5am in training ground 42 bring your ninja gear, oh and you might want to skip breakfast or you'll puke."

Both Sasuke and Sakura had the same looks as before of shock, I just had a grin on my face, 'No breakfast yea right nice try Kakashi and 5am, I doubt you'd be there before ten, looks like its early morning training for me and a big breakfast.'

"Right that's it you're dismissed, I've got a meeting with the Hokage to report on or first meeting so I'll be going now." He made a hand sign and was about to use Shunshin but…

"Hold up Sensei, I've got a few things to discuss with Jiji, mind if I tag along?" I asked, I could always wait until later but I figure my team leader should be aware also and as my father student I can't help but feel somewhat connected.

"Sure I see no reason why not, but only if you can keep up." He eye smiled at me before disappearing in a whirl of leaves, I just smirked before making the same hand sign and following suit leaving Sasuke and Sakura gaping at the spot I was just in.

Hokage office

Kakashi reappeared in front of the Hokage's desk and bowed.

Hiruzen smiled, "Ah Kakashi, how'd team sevens meeting go? I trust they weren't too much trouble."

Kakashi stood up straight, "Not at all Hokage-Sama, they are quite unique, two of them could uses some work, while Naruto looks to be ahead of them, which is shocking considering his academy files saying he's one of the worst in his class."

Hiruzen stroked his beard hearing that, "This is very interesting, would you care to comment on that, Naruto?"

Kakashi's eye opened in shock and he looked behind him to see me sitting comfortable on one of the sofas with a smile on my face.

Kakashis one visible eye blinked, "How did you?"

"Same way as you, only I took a quicker route." I said with my smile growing, 'I love showing off some times.'

Hiruzen smiled, "So Naruto care to enlighten us where you learned how to use the Shunshin and why Kakashi says you seemed to be ahead of your classmates?"

I grinned, "Of course I will Jiji I'll answer all your questions, as long as you answer some of mine as well."

He looked at me curiously and with a smile, "Oh and what would you like to ask me?"

I leaned back and put my arms behind my head, "I'll answer that to, but first could you please ask your shadows to leave?"

Hiruzen blinked twice, "What do you mean Naruto?"

"I'm referring to the three ANBU currently stationed in this room as your body guards, the one above you in the ceiling, the one hidden in the shadow of the pillar by the book case and the one that is currently sitting right next to me." I smiled.

Both the Hokage's and Kakashi's eyes widened at the fact that I someone who is only a Genin can locate ANBU which are meant to be the best shinobi in the village.

"Naruto how can you…?"

"I will discuss more about that after but I will just say my senses are higher that the norm, I'd even say they surpass those of the Inuzuka clan's, for example the man in the ceiling, I don't know why but he used a fruity hair shampoo this morning so I was able to sniff him out, the only reason I'm not mistaking him as a woman is the fact that I can feel his chakra slightly and its definitely male, the one by the pillar had a very sweet cup of coffee and a rather fatty breakfast he was the first I found when I arrived, I can smell the bacon breath from here. And as for the woman beside me I smelled her shampoo also upon arrival, and it was mixed with the scent of sword polish, so would you three please come out and confirm my guesses if you don't mind?"

And no sooner had I spoke than an the three ANBU showed themselves, one dropped from the ceiling and I was right it was a man, wearing a white wolf mask, another came out from behind the pillar, wearing a white and blue ferret mask, and another beside me shimmered into existence with long hair and a red and white cat mask.

"Well I'm three for three." I grin.

"Very impressive Naruto, I can't wait to hear your explanations." The Sandaime Hokage responded still quite shocked. "You three may leave."

The two males left, the bigger one mumbling something about having to use his girlfriends shampoo and the woman was about to when I put my hand on her and moved to whisper in her ear.

"Neko-Chan, I'd recommend you take this opportunity to visit the rest room, unless you have recently killed someone, or have a fresh wound yourself, there is only one other reason I know of as to why I can smell blood from you, I just did not think to point out that fact to everyone in the room." I finished and pulled back with a smile.

Though she was wearing a mask it was more than likely she was ether blushing with embarrassment or red with anger.

Then a soft "Arigato." came from her I knew which one it was.

"No problem Neko-Chan."

The embarrassed ANBU quickly shunshined away, and I stood up and walked over to join Kakashi.

I had a smile on my face knowing it was about time to come clean not about everything but with these two, I could share some of what I have been hiding.
