NARUTO: A Twist Of Fate
Chapter Two: Meeting the team and becoming a new Naruto
Note: Iruka will be the only teacher so there will be no stealing the forbidden scroll in this story and no traitorous teachers. Also I'm going to do only a brief academy scene before getting to team placement.
And with that Naruto was ready to be a Genin, he was prepared to be a Shinobi… but first he has to go to the academy. Naruto was walking around the village looking for a weapon shop, a few hours later he located one named 'Kunai Daggers and Senbon'. Naruto entered the shop and took a quick look around, a older man was behind the counter.
"Can I help you?" questioned the man. "Yes I'm looking to have some custom Kunai made." Replied Naruto. "Ah what do you want them to look like?" Naruto pulled a tri pronged kunai from his pocket and sat it on the counter. "I need them to be like this one." He told the man. "Ah I see you're his son."
The man mumbled. "You knew him?" questioned Naruto. "Knew him? I made the kunai your holding, I have a few crates of them in storage you can have them for 1,000,000 Ryo." The old man happily said. "Wow thanks! I'm happy I chose this store." Naruto praised the man.
The man sealed the crates into a storage scroll and Naruto happily took them to his home and unsealed them revealing 5 crates with 50 scrolls filed with 1000 kunai each.
Naruto unsealed one scroll and grabbed two holsters from the armory and slid 30 kunai into each of them, but then shelved them and made a promise to use them only when he graduated.
The next day Naruto was up at 6:00 and dressed in a black shirt with the Uzumaki symbol, and blue pants with the bottom tapped at the ankles. He walked out the door and locked it with his key, he walked to the academy and entered room 125.
When he entered there were only a few kids in the room so far and he picked a seat in the back, he laid his head down to rest when he was awoken twenty five minutes later when the teacher began to call role.
His name was called last when he replied present the teacher introduced himself as Iruka Umino there teacher for the next four years. (Naruto is eight and I figured they graduate at 12 right?)
And so began the Shinobi education of Naruto Uzumaki. [A/N: I'm going to pretend he went through all for years and there at the final exam.] Naruto Uzumaki the teacher called, do the Bunshin jutsu replacement and henge. "Can any Bunshin be used?" asked Naruto. "Yes, if you know any others they can be." Replied the instructor.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu shouted Naruto making three clones appear, he then replaced himself with the chair in the back of the room and henged into the Yondaime hokage Minato Namikaze complete with a tri pronged Kunai. "Well you pass." said the instructor. And so the young Genin hopefuls were sent home and told to report to the same room tomorrow at 12:00 PM.
And so the next morning Naruto was dressed in a blue shirt with long sleeves and the Uzumaki-Namikaze symbol on the back, armor plated fingerless gloves and black pants with tan Ninja sandals.
He noticed that it was only 10:30, so he went to the room and placed a Hiraishin seal on the floor in the center of the room with ink that doesn't show unless chakra is in it. So he left and got some ramen and chatted with Ayame until 12:00, and at 12:01 exactly he teleported to the seal with a red flash.
And so began the career of Kohno's Red Flash. When he flashed in everyone looked at him and then, Sasuke being himself said "Dobe give me that jutsu!"
And Naruto replied "Sorry Family jutsu so family only". With a smirk on his face, and then Iruka entered the room and said "Quite down everyone it's time for team placement, and so teams are just like cannon except Sasuke is apprenticed under a random Jounin, and Kakashi Hatake is team seven's sensei.
So team seven is Sakura, Naruto and a girl that was entered at the last minute that was trained out of the village by a Jounin that recently died her name was Jasmine. And so they sat in the room and watched as all the others were taken by their sensei's, over two hours later Kakashi arrived and said "meet me on the roof."
With that said Naruto told Sakura and Jasmine to grab his arm and flashed to the roof, as they appeared in a red flash Kakashi dropped a little orange book and had a kunai to Naruto's neck "Where did you learn that?" Kakashi growled into Naruto's ear.
"My father left it to me." Naruto said from Behind Kakashi with his own kunai to his neck. "What the..." Kakashi said, then the Naruto he has in his arms disappeared in a swirl of smoke. "Not bad Naruto." Kakashi praised, but can you let me go? He continued. "As long as you don't attack me" Naruto said with a huff before re-holstering his Kunai.
"So we have a mini Yondaime a fan girl and a girl named after a vine." Kakashi said with a laugh and a shrug. "Could have been worse" He said with a sigh.
"So introductions are in order, list your likes, dislikes and dreams for the future." Kakashi told the Genin. "I like ramen learning new Justus's and hokage-Jiji, I dislike emo's brooders and people who talk down to me., also perverts, and my dream is to be the strongest and to protect Kohno." Naruto said with a large smile on his face.
"I like sasuke-kun, I dislike Naruto-Baka and my dream is to… (She gets a nosebleed and passes out)." (Three guesses on whom that was and the first two don't count.) "Well I guess it's your turn Jasmine." Kakashi said with shake of his head. "I like training fighting for what is right and protecting my precious people, I dislike pervert and those that mistreat children, my dream is to help someone by showing them someone cares for them." Jasmine said with a slight blush.
Well looks like someone know a lot about a certain blond and likes them, Kakashi thought with a smile under his mask. "Any ways meet at training ground 7 at 7:00 am tomorrow morning, and don't eat breakfast." Kakashi said before he body flickered away.
"Anyone want to go grab a late lunch?" Naruto asked. "No." Sakura said with a glare before storming out. "Yeah sure Naruto" Jasmine said with a smile and a blush. "Where to?" she asked. "How does ramen sound?" he asked. "Is that all you eat?" Jasmine asked Naruto with a sad smile.
"It's kind of all I can afford right now." Naruto sadly told her. "Come on where going to a restaurant, my treat." Jasmine said. Naruto quietly followed her to a restaurant that he has never been to, called 'Lone wolf Café'. "Table for two" Jasmine told the waiter, who happens to be someone that actually never hater Naruto. "Right this way." The waiter led them to a table that seated two. "Wow I think this is the first time I've been that didn't outright kick me out." Naruto said with a smile. "It won't be the last either Naruto I expect you to bring me here often and next time you will be paying." Jasmine said with a small smile on her face.
"My name is Nadine and I will be your waiter for the day." The waiter said when he came to take their order. "I'll have the Chef's special with a glass of cola" Naruto ordered. "And I'll have the Mufu lamb chops with a glass of water and soy sauce." Jasmine ordered.
"Your orders will be ready shortly." The waiter said as he wrote the order down and took it to the chef. Ten minutes later Naruto and Jasmine were eating a nice meal and talking about the test for the next day.
Meanwhile with Sakura… a few hours later
"Mom I'm home" Announced Sakura. "Hey dear how was your day?" her mom Mebuki asked. "It was good, can I have dinner because I'm going to bed early. I have team training in the morning." Sakura told he mother.
"Yea go ahead, it's in the pot remember to cover the pot back up." Replied her mother, and so Sakura ate and went to bed. The next morning Sakura arrived at training ground 7 at seven am sharp without eating. And saw no one was there. Where can they be? She thought while looking around.
Meanwhile Naruto and Jasmine were eating a breakfast consisting of eggs rice and toast. And talking about their chronically late sensei and how he arrives two hours late to everything. So two hours later on the dot Naruto flashed to training ground seven with jasmine in his arms.
"You're late." Sakura screamed at them. "Are we? Well where's Kakashi then." Naruto said to her. "He... Well err we were told to come at seven." She said with a slight stutter. "Well at least I know I have two smart students at the least" Came the voice of Kakashi from behind Sakura. "Sensei" they all replied to him.
"Alright your goal today is to receive these bells from me by any means necessary, including deadly force." Kakashi said lazily to the Genin hopefuls. "Wait there's only two bells sensei." Sakura said with a whine. "Yes whoever doesn't get a bell fails and will be dropped from the Shinobi program." Kakashi said with an eye smile.
"Begin now. Barked Kakashi." And then he pulled a small orange book out and began to read it. "Really you're reading smut in front of children now." Naruto scolded Kakashi. Before disappearing in a flash taking the book with him, not my book cried Kakashi.
With Naruto... he was flipping through the book seeing all the smut scenes while thinking this sucks. Whoever this Jiraiya is he can't even write decent smut. I could out write him in my sleep.
"I hope not Naruto." Jasmine smiled sweetly from behind him. "Hehe yea of course not, Jasmine I just wanted to crush his writing and show him there doesn't need to be so much smut" Naruto nervously said. "Well when you say it those ways write away" Jasmine told him happily. "Naruto if you would kindly return my book to me you can try to get the bells." Kakashi said from the tree.
"These bells" Naruto raised his hand showing the bells. With that Kakashi looked down and saw the bells where not there. "When did you get them?" Kakashi asked. "When I grabbed the book" Naruto smiled at the Jounin. He then tossed one to Jasmine and flashed away before returning with Sakura who was now holding a bell.
"Well looks like they pass and I fail." Naruto said before he started to walk away, he was then hit in the head by two bells and heard Jasmine and Sakura say they quit to. "Now let's not be like that you guys, you pass." Kakashi happily told them causing them to cheer with joy.
"Let's get started, come with me to get our first mission." Kakashi said before disappearing with a swirl of leaves. "Grab hold." Naruto told his teammates before disappearing in a flash of red. They arrived at the mission office beside the Hokage tower, "team seven requesting a mission." Kakashi said to the guy behind the desk. "Here you go." The random Chunin replied.
"Let's see looks like we have the mission to capture tora the cat and return her to the daimyos wife." Kakashi said with a slight shudder. "Does the cat run away often?" questioned Naruto. "Yes like every other day there's a mission to capture her" Replied Kakashi.
"I may have a solution to that then, it takes one seal then we can be done with it in less than five minutes." Naruto happily told Kakashi who paused before hugging Naruto, and shouting "Finally we don't have to spend hours looking anymore long live Naruto." And so there ended the hour's long chases of tora the cat.
But they still had to find her..
"Fox in position."
"Pinky in position, I hate you Kakashi."
"Vine in position"
"Scarecrow in position"
"Cat spotted apprehending now." Naruto said through the mike. "Got him and applying seal." Naruto said with a tired voice. "Seal applied and cat captured." Naruto reported to Kakashi. "Alright back to the office to receive payment." Kakashi ordered them.
"Wow that's the longest this mission has ever taken." The Chunin laughed at team seven. "Whatever just call us when it's a mission again" Kakashi said as he divided the 200 Ryo between them, giving each person 50 Ryo.
And so began the mission that gave team seven easy pay.
*FLASHBACK*
"I still don't know why you personally requested this mission, but whatever." Said the random Chunin before handing over the scroll" "thanks smiled Kakashi." before leading them outside. Naruto quickly flashed to the cat and back, they re-entered the office with tora in Naruto's arms. "How did you find her so fast, it's been less than five minutes?" The Chunin said in ah. "Secret" Smiled Kakashi.
*FLASHBACK END*
Five weeks later
"Come one let us do a C rank please we did about a hundred D ranks.." Team seven begged Kakashi "Fine let's go." The all went to the Mission office. "Team seven requesting a C rank." Kakashi said. "Here the Chunin said, it seems easy." The Chunin said. "Escort mission" Hummed Kakashi. "Pack for a five week mission guys and meet at the gate in two hours no delays." He ordered them.
