AN: I do not own Naruto or any characters associated with Naruto and just imagine Hayate's coffing
Naruto looks like himself but without whiskers and longer hair he also stands about as tall as shino. He can be seen wearing fingerless black gloves and black ninja clothing of your choice
A sickly looking man walked into the classroom "Naruto Yuki" He called out. "Right here" Naruto responded. "Meet me on the roof"
On the roof
"Hello my name is Hayate Gekko, this is where we shall introduce ourselves." "What do you mean?" Naruto asked. "Sorry I would like to know your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams" Hayate responded. "Oh my name is Naruto Yuki, my likes are ramen and training, my dislikes are traitors, hobbie I again would have to say training, my dream is to be able to protect everyone I hold close to me" Naruto had stated everything like they had been drilled into his head.
"Okay well my name is Hayate Gekko, my likes are my sword and my girlfriend, I dislike the sickness I have, hobbies training with my sword, and dreams well that's not important at this moment. Now that you have passed the basic Genin test you have to take the real one." At Naruto's confused look he continued "You see the Genin test that the academy gives out is just to weed out the ones who need more practical time, Jonin are instructed to give the potential Genin their own test to see if everyone's teamwork is up to par but since you don't have any teammates I'm just going to test your overall skill and thought process." Naruto nodded at that it made perfect sense.
When they arrived at the training field it was relatively quiet. Suddenly Hayate spoke up "We have gone far enough out for us to safely practice with no one prying for information." "Okay, now how am I supposed to show you how good I am" Naruto questioned. "Well first off if you can make me move in any direction at the least of ten feet" Hayate said of course he didn't tell Naruto that he would be using low chunin skills as to not intimidate him. Naruto of course knew the Jonin would not go all out seeing as he just graduated but he had to be smart with how he attacked. So he started a slow circle looking for a weakness in the older man's stance. After a couple of seconds Naruto thought he had it and lunged forward. When he got in range he lashed out with a straight jab in which Hayate blocked. Using the block to his advantage Naruto kneeled going for a leg sweep in which Hayate easily jumped over. Seeing this Naruto came up with an uppercut hoping to force Hayate back just a little. Nine feet to go Naruto thought. "Don't tell me this is all the second best in the class has" Hayate decided to taunt trying to make Naruto angry. It worked in a small amount as he saw the twitch in Naruto's eyebrow. "Mizu Bunshin" Naruto would say as three water clones raised out of the water of the creek nearby. When they attacked it was a challenge to keep up with Naruto plus the clones as they were capitalizing on his every opening.
Hayate knew that if this kept going that he would lose a lot faster than he anticipated so he went on the offencive. Hayate lashed out with a high kick to the left nailing one of the clones in the chin before he quickly pivoted and nailed another with a left cross. Dispelling yet another clone Damn this is getting annoying Hayate thought as he once again brought a knee into the sternum of another clone of his opponent.
Meanwhile the original watched this from the trees I can't just continue to make clones to move him out of the way it will take up the rest of the time Naruto was trying to figure out how to move his opponent before he ran out of time. He created three more water clones this time each one pulled out a kunai. Naruto himself decided to pull out some of his shuriken before throwing them at Hayate before he was once again on the move. Hayate heard the incoming projectiles. As he blocked them with his own kunai before once again being engaged in battle. Hayate would grab the first water clones outstretched hand before throwing him.
The second one came in to try and get Hayate in his lapse of the throw only to receive a well placed kick to the chest. The third one attempted to come in behind Hayate as he barely move three inches to dodge the clone. He quickly incapacitated the clone with a chop to the back of the neck.
Meanwhile in the trees Naruto would go through the hand seals Dragon, Tiger, Hare "Water Style: Water Trumpet" Hayate heard the call and was thinking Damn elemental jutsu like that at a young age why was he hiding this in the academy. Hayate was once again forced to dodge but this time it was much further than he anticipated landing outside of the circle he had made. "Well done Naruto you did it." Naruto walked out of the trees panting. "Good thing to you look like you can barely stand" Hayate said once he saw the state of his student.
"Yea I guess you could say that huh Hayate-Sensei" Naruto said in between pants. Hayate would start walking off before saying "meet me here tomorrow at 8 a.m. sharp." With that Hayate was gone.
In the Hokage's office:
Hayate appeared along with the rest of the Jonin Sensei "As you know" spoke an old man with a white and red hat with the kanji of fire spoke up "I need to know all the teams that passed"
"Team One⦠Fail"
"Team Two also fail"
"Team Three Fail"
"Team Four Fail"
Team Five should be dropped from the system"
"Team Six Fail"
"Team Seven pass" a man with a facemask and his headband covering his left eye spoke surprising everyone there.
"Team Eight pass" This time it was a woman wearing a red dress covered in bandages and with red eyes that spoke.
"Team Ten pass" This was a bearded man wearing the basic Konoha get up other than the sash tied around his waist spoke.
"Naruto Yuki pass." Spoke Hayate with somewhat of a smile.
"Alright dismissed" Spoke up the old man. "Hai Hokage-sama" Spoke the entire crowd as most of them disappeared in shunshins only for Hayate to stay. "What is it you wish to speak to me about Hayate" the Hokage asked. "Well Hokage-sama I wish to speak about Naruto and how he knows so many water style ninjutsu." Hayate answered the man. "Ahh I should have known you would ask me that sooner or later. As you know Naruto comes from the Yuki clan from the hidden mist. When the bloodline purge started his family that consisted of his newly married parents fled here to escape them. Well they left him scrolls that were to be given to him when he unlocked his chakra. But alas even with the scrolls not one of the ones that were left for him had details of bloodline jutsu and that has led him to basically ignore it until someone can help him." Spoke the Hokage.
As Hayate left the office he had much to think about. First of all though he needed to visit a weapon makers shop
Same time with Naruto
Naruto could explain his current situation as boring and with that thought in mind he headed towards a training ground. As he arrived he would pull a scroll out of one of his kunai pouches. Looking at it Naruto began with the third jutsu down right below Water Trumpet it was Water Release: Wild Water Wave. "So the hand signs are Dragon, Tiger, Hare." He said to himself as he slowly moved through the hand signs in order to memorize them. "Alright I think I have it now" He quickly moved through the dragon tiger and hare handsigns before he let loose his jutsu with a quiet saying of "Water Release: Wild Water Wave." Naruto didn't expect to get himself launched back by the water before landing a solid ten feet away. As he stood up he would once again go through the hand seals before having the same thing happen.
Back with Hayate at a weapon shop
When Hayate arrived at the weapon shop he was greeted by an elderly man. "Hello sir, may I help you today?" "No I know what I am looking for." Hayate spoke back as he headed for the sword section. Now the hard part what blade would Naruto's body type fit
The next morning at training field Eleven
As Hayate appeared in a shunshin he saw Naruto sitting there looking over a scroll. "Naruto I have something for you since you did pass my test." Hayate said getting Naruto's attention. Hayate pulled out a scroll and unsealed a clothed object before walking over and handing it to Naruto. As Naruto slowly unwound the cloth covering the object Hayate would speak. "I felt that it would fit your body type better than a katana being that you aren't tall enough for it to help you, it would be more of a hindrance." As Naruto unsheathed it he saw the beauty that was the Wakizashi.
"Sensei, you didn't have to get me this" Naruto said in awe of the blade. "Nonsense, I am one of konoha's best in kenjutsu. So I thought I would help you by giving you a sword and teaching you" Hayate replied. "Now if you would follow me we could go and get you your first mission." He told Naruto
The 'Missions' that Naruto was promised were more of glorified chores. First he had to chase a cat named Tora and he quickly realized why it was called the demon cat by the rest of the ninja in the village.
After that he had to watch one of the civilian counsel man's children. He didn't much mind this one as it was pretty easy but after awhile it got boring.
Next he and team seven had weeded a garden in which, The Pink Haired Banshee did very little other than swoon over Sasuke leaving the other three to do all the work.
He also teamed up with team ten to clean one of the training fields. His friend Shikamaru said that it was really troublesome and Choji agreed with him
He teamed up with team eight in order to clean out a huge river. Kiba complained some but did his work nonetheless. Hinata was quiet as usual and Shino had to make sure his bugs had all dried off before returning to the mission hall to get paid.
Naruto continued to do this for over two months before he and Hayate walked into Mito demanding a higher rank mission. As Kakashi was about to chastise her, Hayate spoke up. "Why don't we do a collaborative C-rank mission Hokage-Sama."
The Hokage thought about it for a couple of minutes before telling one of his aides to send a man in. "These brats are to protect me" The man spoke up before Kakashi reminded him that they were ninja. "Well then my name I Tazuna and I am a bridge builder from the land of waves" the newly named Tazuna spoke up.
"Well team we should meet at the gates in three hours. Pack for a two week long mission." Kakashi spoke up after the bridge builder had finished.
As the two teams parted Hayate spoke up to Naruto "Prepare for anything and remember no matter what I will protect you." Naruto nodded before leaving to go and pack his stuff.
