„Congratulations Naruto, you are now an official ninja of Konoha! " Iruka said and passed out shortly after that.
Naruto could not believe the events that just occurred. First stealing the forbidden scroll, then the fight with Mizuki, the news about him carrying Kyuubi and now he became a ninja. He was lost in thought when Anbu came and took away Mizuki and Iruka to get medical examination.
"Boy, are you alright?" One of the ninja asked the boy.
"Yes I'm okay. How is Iruka-Sensei?"
"He'll be fine, don't worry! We'll get him to the hospital and he'll get fixed up. You are going see him tomorrow probably!" The Anbu told him
"You should go home, now." After that he went away with the rest from the group.
"Yeah I should…" Naruto got up from his knees and slowly made his way towards his run-down apartment.
On his way through the streets of Konoha he got the usual glares he always got. Even at night there were people out there, seemingly doing nothing at all? Naruto on the one hand thought there were just there to look at him, to hurt him with the look they gave him, on the other hand that thought was a little far-fetched to him. He was out there at night, too. When he passed another couple of people staring at him, he started to run.
'Why do I have that demon inside of him? How? Didn't Iruka told the class about how the fox attacked Konoha a long time ago. Wasn't it defeated by our previous Hokage? '
Naruto reached his apartment building, a building in which now one except him lived anymore. The walls next to the front door were full of sprayed graffiti which spelled out words like: 'Demon' or 'Monster'. Inside the whole place was pretty much wrecked because of constant attacks and raids on Naruto and his belongings. Naruto ran all the way up to the only, somehow usable apartment in the building.
'What have I done to deserve this? I never harmed anyone seriously, I mean!' He noticed rain dropping onto his face. Naruto faced towards a holein the ceiling. His anger started taking over. Facing towards the black, rainy night sky he started to scream:
"TELL ME! WHY ME? WHAT SORRY ASSHOLE DECIDED THAT I'LL BE THE VICTIM?" Tears started to stream down his face. Naruto turned his vision towards the floor. He started punching it. "Why…" Naruto just laid there crying himself to sleep getting more wet every second.
…
The next day Naruto woke up in a puddle of water. He got up and removed his wet clothes and searched for a towel. After finding a roughly clean one we went to his old closet. Open it to find 2 more copies of the horrendous orange jumpsuits he is forced to wear.
"I hate this fucking bullshit clothes. No not the clothes they are better than nothing! I hate the shopkeepers for selling me this shit at an inexcusable high price" Naruto didn't notice he overnight started to swear heavily. He got one of the jumpsuits and put it on. Looking into the broken mirror that hung loosely on the wall he noticed the ninja headband. He ripped it of his head and put it in his pocket.
"I have enough of this pathetic hellhole called village! I need to get out of here! But how can I? I need to find away to escape from here. Before I can make up a plan, I'm supposed to go to the academy because we're being put in teams today. Alright, it's time to show them another side of Naruto. And the Kage Bunshin will be a great help with that.'
Naruto made his way to the village towards the academy. Once again the villagers glared at him. This time it was different. Naruto returned to lock, shocking a few of them. Out of their sight Naruto started to smirk a little. 'I liked that.'
Naruto arrived at the academy. Everybody looked at him surprised. He didn't care about them he just walked into his classroom passed the others who were already there. He took a seat in the last row closed his eyes and did absolutely nothing.
"Why is that dope here? I thought he didn't pass!" Kiba asked Shikamaru.
"Chh…, troublesome. I don't know." Was the answer of the lazy boy?
"Maybe he had a second chance to take the exam or something." Choji said while eating chips.
"You're sure? Maybe Iruka will give us the answer when he comes!" Kiba responded still thinking about the blond.
Just that moment the teacher came into the classroom. He was wearing bandages around his head because of the events that happened the previous night. Before he even was able to greet the class he got interrupted by a shriek.
"SENSEI! Why is that loser Naruto here? He didn't even pass the exam! "A well-known pink-haired banshee yelled out.
"Well first of all, good morning Sakura." Was the answer of Iruka, "secondly, Naruto here helped us catch a traitor last night as well as learning a really hard technique so we decided to see that as his exam test and make him a graduate like the rest of you."
As expected everyone's eyes wandered to Naruto, who still sit there unmoving at all with his eyes closed.
"The dope learned a hard technique? What was it? Reading? Kiba asked loudly. The whole class started to laugh.
Again everybody looked at Naruto for a reaction but nothing came. He still didn't move at all.
'That's strange of him, normally he would be going crazy right now' thought Iruka as well as young Hinata at the same time.
"Alright class, stop it. We're here today because every one of you got placed into a three-man team. The team is possibly the most important part in a ninja's life. Never go into mission alone, especially at your stand of experience right now. I'm going to announce the teams and after that every team gets picked up by their respective senseis. "
Iruka looked at the class. Everybody seemed to exited, some of them even nervous.
"Team 1 is… (An: skip to 7) Team 7 is: Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno…" A loud victory scream echoed through the classroom: "Eat that, Ino-pig!"
"And Naruto Uzumaki." The victory of Sakura shattered. "WHAT? That is impossible!"
"Shut up bitch and accept it, you're stuck with an asshole and me." Naruto finally said anything.
Everybody was shocked at Naruto's use of heavy language.
"How dare you call Sasuke an asshole?" Sakura and Ino shouted in synchrony. Naruto looked at them with no interest. He faced towards Iruka.
"Who is our sensei?" he asked almost emotionless. Iruka just stared at him confused.
"Kakashi Hatake."
Having his question answered Naruto went back to being motionless. Sakura and Ino also were quiet now but they were still angry at Naruto for insulting their hero. Sasuke on the other side didn't care at all.
One after another every team was picked up by their sensei. Team 10 was the first one, followed by team 8. While walking out, Hinata stopped and took a last look at Naruto again and whispered: "Naruto-kun…"
"Hey Hinata are you coming?" yelled Kiba already out the door.
"Y-yes." Hinata answered and ran after him.
Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were now the only one left in the room waiting for their sensei. Sasuke was silently sitting there thinking about his revenge plans; Naruto was thinking about an escape plan and Sakura was admiring Sasuke openly.
Their sensei was now thirty minutes late and Naruto had enough.
"Where the fucking hell is that guy? Great start for this so-called team!" Naruto yelled angrily.
"Shut up, Naruto. No one cares what you think!" Sakura yelled back at him.
"You enjoy that the guy who is supposed to teach us is like the tardiest person ever?" Sasuke interfered in the loud conversation. Sakura started to blush because of the embarrassment.
"No I-I…" She wasn't able to finish the sentence because the door opened behind her. In walked Kakashi, the new teacher of team 7. Sakura immediately went through a drastic mood change. She now was enraged and started yelling at Kakashi.
"WHY ARE YOU SO LATE, SENSEI?" Kakashi only stared at her, and then faced to Naruto and Sasuke only to see no interest at all he muttered one small sentence:
"My first impression of you is: I hate all of you. Anyways meet me up at the roof in ten minutes."
After that he disappeared in a small smoke-cloud.
"Let's get this shit done." Naruto said and walked out the door. Sasuke got up soon after that and followed Naruto. Sakura watched the two before following them. A few minutes later they reached the rooftop where Kakashi sat on a railing waiting for them. He watched with his one eye as Sakura sat in front of him while Naruto and Sasuke leaned against a chimney.
"My information about you guys is that you don't like each other. But you seem awfully close now; I mean not minding each other at all." Kakashi said while watching the two other male members of the team.
"Who cares about kiddy shit like this, let's just get over with this, so I can get the fuck home." Naruto became angered again. Kakashi's eye opened in surprise. Sure he expected a protest from them but not like this.
"Okay. How about we introduce ourselves first, then? "
"What do you mean sensei?" Sakura asked.
"How were you able to get the highest writing marks in the academy? The word he said is god damn 'introduce'! Shouldn't be so hard, should it? Hell, I'll start so you can understand what this completely strange word means!" Naruto angrily and ironically answered Sakura's question.
"I'm Naruto; I don't give a fuck about any of you and I have goals you shouldn't give a fuck about. I'm betting my whole shit that this team will fail hard so why even try it?" Naruto announced like a memorized speech. "You'll get it now?" He asked Sakura. She in return looks at him like he's crazy and just nodded slightly.
"Calm down Naruto." Kakashi interfered before the situation got out of hand. "Black-hair it's your turn now."
"Sasuke Uchiha. I need more power for my goal, that's why I'm dealing with idiots like you."
"Truer words have never been spoken. Not as stupid as the pink bitch, I see." Naruto remarked. Sakura went furious after Naruto's insult. She packed him at the collar of his jacket,
"Who do you think you are? You're the dead last, you never got anything done and if then only completely wrong you failure! You're just worthless, no one cares about you."
Naruto on the other hand forcibly pushed her hands away from him. He faced towards the ground and started laughing creepily. He then looked Sakura directly in the eyes. His eyes were slowly filling with red and his pupils changed to a slit.
"I'll show you who the failure is!" Naruto suddenly spoke in way deeper voice. Sakura immediately became frightened. The air around them became incredibly heavy and thick. Sasuke watched in wonder what's going. He knew the cause for what was happening was the dope and he couldn't help but wonder who said person was able to do what he was doing. Kakashi on the other hand knew how Naruto was able perform these actions. He had to act fast. Kakashi formed four hand seals and slapped his hand on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto's eyes turned up and he fell unconscious.
"Sensei, what is going on?" Sakura asked trying to catch her breath.
"Don't worry. I'll explain it to you when the time is right. Right now I'll bring Naruto here to the hospital." Kakashi answered and picked up Naruto. "Tomorrow we'll meet at training ground 7 to start with the team business." Kakashi and Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Well, that was interesting." Sasuke remarked and went home without saying another word.
Sakura stared after her crush, still not sure what just happened. What happened to Naruto that made him change from the idiot who worships the ground she walks on to the cynical, insulting person he was now?
Sasuke also sorted out his thoughts. What was the immense pressure around Naruto after Sakura provoked him so openly. Especially why only this time, after all she had done it a thousand times before. He was sure something happened to Naruto. Sasuke decided to go ask Naruto this evening. He needed to find out how to obtain the ability to produce something like Naruto had.
Kakashi was going almost frantic. Why did Naruto show signs of Kyuubi now? The information on them said that the way Sakura acted towards Naruto is how she always acted. Why was the push that made Naruto give in to Kyuubi? He'll have to ask the Hokage about it. Right now Naruto could be a danger to the whole village.
An: well that was the first chapter of my Naruto story. This basically was just the set up for what I have planned with this story. Hope you like it.
Will Sasuke get his questions answered? What will the Hokage say? And what about Naruto's leaving plans?
