The Next Day:
Naruto woke up in the bed he slept in the night before holding the picture of his parents as close as possible.
He got dressed and walked downstairs, the house as lonely as ever. Then suddenly there was a knock on the door.
He peered through the window and saw the Hokage. "Good morning Naruto." he said smiling. "Morning old man." Naruto opened the door more and let him in.
"This is a very nice place, your parents were very humble, and they never were arrogant about who they were or what they have." Naruto smiled at the preaching of his father. "Alright follow me." The Hokage said.
The Hokage walked through the simple home like it was the back of his hand until he found a door with a slip of paper, in the middle of the paper was the Kanji for 'blood seal'.
"Alright Naruto this is a blood seal." Sarutobi said pointing to the slip of paper. "Blood Seal? What is that?" Naruto said while his eye widened. "People use it so either them or their family members can open it. To open it you just smear a little of your blood on the seal and it will open."
"How do I get the blood?" Naruto asked still wide-eyed with the idea of seals only family members can use. "All you have to do is bite your thumb and a little blood will trickle out."
Naruto nodded and began biting at his thumb. Suddenly he broke the skin and small wave of pain was sent through him. "Ow…" The boy said shaking his hand.
'Oh to be young.' The Hokage said with a light chuckle. Naruto smeared his blood on the seal on the door.
The patterns and kanji glowed bright red before disappearing. Then the door was unlocked. Naruto slowly slid the door open before walking into the room. It had scrolls resting on cabinets set to hold them in place wrapped around the walls.
The two looked around before they found an orange scroll resting on a small table. Naruto walked up to it and picked it up. On it was Naruto's name printed on the scroll in black. Keeping the down was another blood seal. With the wound was still open, Naruto smeared some more blood on the seal. The seal disappeared and the scroll was easily opened.
"There's nothing in here." The blonde boy said looking at the blonde scroll. Then suddenly red lines began forming, they became more kanji writing a letter. Naruto began reading.
Hello son, if you haven't noticed yet I am the Yondaime, your father. This scroll is supposed to answer your's and my questions to use as how I would ask them. My first question is how do the villagers treat you good or bad you'll be able to check off what your answer is below.
First Naruto laid the scroll down on the table and began reading through it. Silently the Hokage left the house leaving the boy alone. Then a checkmark box appeared with the kanji for 'good' next to it while another formed with 'bad' next to it.
Naruto opened the wound a little, cringing at the pain. 'This is going to be a while.'
He smeared the blood on the bad checkmark. Then more Kanji began appearing on the top of the scroll.
Damn it, those villagers are still arrogant idiots. I suppose I have to tell you why they hate you. Well the Kyuubi no Yoko attacked the day you were born. I only had one option, I talked it over with your mother to do it. After many beatings and times of crying she finally agreed. When you were born she knocked out most of the nurses around her holding onto you. I had to give her an anesthetic to stop her from choking you.
Naruto laughed again with the recurring thought of the redheaded woman beating up several nurses.
Well I took you with me to the battlefield, I knew that I had many enemies and I didn't think you could fight them all off. So I decided that I would seal Kyuubi in you.
Naruto stared at the scroll amazed. 'How could I have Kyuubi inside me, I've never wanted to hurt anybody.'
I did my utmost best on the seal; if it worked then you probably haven't met Kyuubi unless you were in a life or death situation. Do not worry if you ever meet him, stand tall and don't show fear. I made the seal so incase of an emergency you can call on his chakra and it will go straight into your chakra coils. So how old are you?
A large box appeared written in red. Naruto opened the wound again, this time it didn't hurt that much. He wrote 'four' in the box and it disappeared.
Four? Well hehe your mother is probably beating me to a pulp right now in heaven for not asking for that earlier. Remember that we will always love you. Oh well so do you have any ninja skills right now.
Naruto opened the wound and began writing.
I just started using chakra a few days ago. I was being chased by a mob when I thought what would it be like if I was a ninja. Then I thought about how they run, I began running faster. Then I found my chakra, and put it in my feet. I speeded up really fast, and then I found our house. I feel really bad that you and Mom are dead but this scroll thingy is okay. Anyway when I found a picture of you two together I ran out of the house and went right for Sandaime.
I ran up the staircase brought chakra into my fist and punched through the door. The door went flying out the window right next to the old man's face. I said I was going to castrate the old man if I knew what it meant. Then some guy in a white mask and black clothes came out and tried to grab me. But I put some chakra into my fist and tried to hit him. He blocked it but the chakra blasted out and knocked him out.
The blonde boy waited for a response as the blood seeped in.
…I'm so proud!
A red picture of a crudely drawn Yondaime had tears coming out of his eyes with his fist in the air. A bubble appeared next to the figure said.
My boy is four years old and is taking down ANBU!
The picture faded away to more kanji.
By the way have you seen a white haired man that looked like this?
Under the Kanji there was a picture of the perverted man.
Yeah that's him. The blonde quickly wrote down.
His name is Jiraiya he was my teacher, if the Hokage knows about you and me then he will probably get Jiraiya to help you with more advanced stuff in a few years. So are you going to join the academy?
Naruto was smiling happily at his conversation with his father's scroll.
I'm joining the academy tomorrow I'm kind of nervous their all going to be older than me.
Don't get nervous just get strong enough to beat them. By the way I can't tell what you look like I can't tell if you look more like your mother or me.
A red box appeared and Naruto began drawing his face from his spiky blonde hair to the grin he trademarked.
The picture seeped into the scroll and his father words began appearing.
Heh, you look exactly like how I did with the whisker marks. Well since your starting the academy tomorrow I should probably tell you that the scroll case next to the door contains very easy to learn jutsus I got for you when you would get older. But they should work now. Oh and since the villagers didn't be too nice to you when you checked that box several seals around the house activated. It creates a barrier that will not allow anybody enter the compound without good intentions. Well if you need to talk to me just reopen the scroll. Just remember that your mother and me are sad that it turned up this way but we will always love you.
The writing on the scroll faded, which signaled Naruto to close the scroll. The blonde turned to the scroll case his father pointed out and walked over. He picked one of the scrolls up and read the title.
The Genin Exam requirements
Naruto took the scroll into the kitchen and placed it on the counter. He went to the cabinet and fished out more instant ramen. It was still the middle of the day so he had lots of time to practice. He cooked the ramen and while he waited Naruto opened the scroll and began reading.
In Konoha a genin must be able to use three very basic yet effective jutsus. Henge, Kawarimi and Bunshin are these three. Henge changes the person's outer appearance; Kawarimi lets the person substitute him or herself with an inanimate object to get out of the way of attacks. Bunshin creates a clone of the user, but in the past teachers will pass user who cannot perform the Bunshin but another kind of Bunshin.
Bunshin Is used for ninja with lower chakra levels but higher chakra control, if a user has high chakra levels then in turn they have low chakra control. If the reader has high chakra levels then it is recommended that they learn another kind of Bunshin.
Naruto was now eating his instant ramen while reading the scroll. 'There are other kinds of Bunshin? I could probably out run some ninja if I put a lot of chakra in my feet so I guess I have lots of chakra, then it would either take a lot of practice to try a Bunshin. Or I can probably look in the scroll room for another kind of Bunshin.'
Naruto continued through the scroll reading about the Henge to grasp the basics and found out that it doesn't require a lot of chakra control, just sheer focus and concentration.
Kawarimi was not as easy, you had to attach a small line of chakra to the object then you have to pull the object to you and you replace the object. You compress and expand the chakra like Henge to create the smoke.
Naruto took one of the stools next to him and brought it outside. He placed the stool in one of the clearings. Naruto applied chakra to his finger and began letting the chakra stretch between his finger and the object. Naruto found out earlier that chakra is easier to manage if he makes a basic hand sign. Naruto while still connected to the stool to work on his chakra control compressed and expanded the chakra easily and a puff of smoke came. He was pulled to where the stool was and the stool was in his place.
He screamed 'Yatta' while running around. "I have two of the three jutsus down to pass the genin exams!" Naruto finally calmed down and dragged the stool back into his house.
He retreated back into the scroll room leaving the stool in the kitchen. He went back to the scroll case his father made for him and looked for more scrolls. He found one on some thing called 'Taijutsu' and continued to look for Bunshin scrolls.
None were in the section he was looking. He began moving down the scroll case looking at many elemental jutsus. 'I'll have to check those out later.'
He was now really far away from the beginner's scrolls when he found one. 'Kage Bunshin?' Naruto took the scroll to the chair and placed the scroll down on the near bye table and opened it.
Hey Naruto, this scroll I thought would have been perfect for you, me and your mother mastered this jutsu easily because we both had high chakra levels. The jutsu is simple you form this hand seal.
Under the writing was a fairly well drawing of to hands crossed with the middle finger and index fingers pointed out.
And almost fold your chakra. The more times you fold it the more clones you get. When you folded it the number of times you wanted expand the jutsu. A few puffs of smoke will appear around you. In those puffs of smoke will be Kage Bunshins.
Naruto took the taijutsu and Kage Bunshin scrolls and walked outside next to a bench. Naruto formed the hand seals and began folding his chakra. He folded it about three times and let it expand.
There were three puffs around Naruto. When the smoke cleared there were three, very pale and unconscious Narutos with swirls in their eyes. Naruto ran back to the scroll to see what he did wrong.
I'm guessing the clones were very pale and unconscious? Yeah your mother and I did the same thing. They have to be very crisp folds you can't just roll it over. Try it now.
Naruto walked over to the same spot when the clones disappeared on their own. He formed the same hand seal. He was now completely focused.
'If I want to become a strong ninja I have to focus completely.'
Everything was blocked out; his mind was completely blank just focused on folding the chakra. He folded it hundreds of times, all very crisp.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" He expanded the chakra.
The whole compound became filled with Narutos. All the Narutos screamed 'Yatta' at the same time while pumping their fist into the air with the same grin on their faces. All of them dispersed and came back to the four year-old.
He walked back to the scroll and read past the point he got to.
I'm proud of where you are, you probably created your first, Kage Bunshin up to this point, whether you made one or one hundred we will always be proud of you. As a gift in your room there is a blood seal in the closet, when you activate it some clothing that will fit you will pop out. It looks a lot like my battle clothes so you'll probably freak out the villagers. Make sure your ready for whatever they will throw at you. I recommend you read the taijutsu scroll in the beginner's section it will help you with learning or creating your own taijutsu form.
Naruto happily closed the scroll and grabbed the taijutsu scroll next to it. He opened that one and began reading.
Taijutsu is basic martial arts for the common shinobi; it can range from learning how to emit chakra at the last second like the gentle fist style or extreme physical training to bash away at their bones.
Naruto continued through the scroll learning the basic moves of all taijutsu forms. Then he got to how to create your own taijutsu form.
Lots of forms of taijutsu were made to counter act other forms. If you create your own style then they will have to learn through the fight.
Naruto recalled back to the time he said he was going to castrate the Hokage.
'Those guys in the masks are suppose to be really tough if they have to protect the old man. If I can knock one of them out with my chakra then that's what I have to do. I have to create a style through that.'
Naruto took the scroll, gather a lot of chakra to his feet and blasted off. 'I've been wearing these same clothes for the past few weeks; I should get those clothes that scroll told me to get when I'm strong enough. This should help me be strong enough to protect myself from those villagers.
Naruto was just a blue comet from the chakra coming off of his feet in the middle of the day.
Naruto continued over the rooftops until he came to the ninja training grounds. He found three posts next to some monument thing. Some one with white hair was standing there looking at it. He wasn't the guy with markings under his face; this guy had a mask that covered his mouth and nose. Naruto shrugged it off and began working on his new style.
'The scroll said that if you want to add chakra to your attacks it's good if your attacks come off spinning.'
Naruto put the scroll on one of the posts and stood in the middle of the clearing.
'It also said you should have smaller attacks and end the combo with a finishing move.'
Naruto brought some chakra to his fists, but just to the front. The chakra then began swirling around the front of the fist. Then his feet began to glow with the blue essence, doing the same thing.
Naruto started with a step with his right leg leading his right fist and blasting out chakra. Naruto then spun around by sliding his left leg past his right twisting him around with a back fist with his left hand sending another chakra blast towards the invisible enemy.
Still using the momentum Naruto jumped in the air with his leg spinning around blasting another intense chakra burst. Naruto landed facing the invisible enemy with both hands facing out on his chest. He stepped forward thrusting both arms out blasting chakra out.
A huge torrent of chakra blasted out much larger than the one he used on the ANBU.
Unknown to Naruto the masked ninja has turned his gaze to the blonde.
'He looks exactly like him, could he actually be his son? No that was only four years ago.'
He continued watching the blonde blasting chakra out of his appendages. 'Still no one else has blonde spiky hair other than Inoichi but not that shade of blonde. So that's him then. Four years old and already learning a taijutsu style, or at least I've never heard of it.'
Naruto was continuing his combos blasting out more chakra with yells after each strike. 'I have to become strong, I want the villagers to respect me so I have to become the best of the best!'
Naruto jumped in the air and landed near a tree, he charged all the chakra in his body and blasted it out. The tree uprooted and flew back a few feet toppled over. After the sudden realization he was running around shouting that he has a new taijutsu style.
The white-haired man was wide-eyed at the spectacle. 'He just uprooted a tree, the blast wave doesn't hit an initial spot, it engulfs the object and sends it flying back. He's got talent, but if he's like his Mother then he won't like being called a genius.'
The man was sitting on one of the posts next to the post with the scroll on it. He picked the scroll up and began reading through it.
'He made his own style off of this, a beginner's scroll.'
Naruto turned around to read more about making new forms when he noticed the masked ninja. "Uh, hey what are you doing?"
The ninja looked up, to see the blonde haired boy looking at him. "Oh, I was just looking through this scroll to see what was the name of that style you were using a moment ago."
"Good luck finding it in there, I'm making my own style Dattebayo!" 'This guy seems alright, he hasn't called me demon yet, so he must have some kind of respect for me.'
Kakashi was slightly surprised at the blonde's answer. "You made it on your own? How did you come across it?" 'This should be interesting…' The ninja thought.
"Well I activated my chakra a few days ago, then for personal reasons I was really angry at the Hokage. I punched through the door, it went flying past the old man and out the window."
'That would explain the hole in the window, when I met the Hokage this morning.'
"Then a guy with a mask and black clothes came out and tried to grab me. I put some chakra in my fist and spun around to hit him. He blocked the punch but the chakra shot out of my fist and blasted the guy into the wall."
'This kid never ceases to amaze me, four years old and he already took out an ANBU member.'
"You were able to take out an ANBU member? Your pretty tough, what do you plan on naming the style?"
The blonde went into a thinking pose. "How about chakra pulse?" "Sounds good, do you plan on joining the academy?"
"Actually I'm joining the academy tomorrow. I've been learning Henge, Kawarimi and Kage Bunshin, to protect myself from the villagers and be able to pass the exam."
'He's driven to work for survival in his own village. This kid, he's already ready to become a genin, I hope I get to teach him. I swear sensei that I will protect him no matter what. I should probably tell Itachi if I see him about this kid.'
"Well good luck then in the academy. Who knows, maybe I'll be your sensei when you pass. My name is Hatake Kakashi." "My name's Uzumaki Naruto."
The jounin smiled and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
