I do not own Naruto in any way shape or form.
Ever wonder what Naruto's life would be changed if he found the scroll to the Flying Raijin Jutsu before he became a Genin? Well here is your chance to find out. Starts two years before the Genin Exams. This is my first story.

Chapter 2: The Jutsu's True Usage And Secret Blown?
*BEEEEP..BEEEEP..BE**CRASH!* It was 6:30 the next morning. Naruto woke up with a growl towards the alarm clock he just threw across his bedroom. "Oh great not again." Naruto says as he gets up and heads toward his closet where he has his stash of new alarm clocks. You see Naruto has a bad habit of waking up and throwing his alarm clocks, so he bought multiple alarm clocks so he wouldn't have to constantly go out and buy a new one with the Third Hokage in tow in order to ensure that they don't over charge him or sell him an already broken one.
Naruto always had trouble with having people over charge him for everything, even if any food items were already spoiled. Eventually the Third Hokage found out and it started to die down. Although on occasion the store/market vendors would still make such attempts ever now and then when they thought that they could get away with it. Naruto, of course, didnt know why they did such things like that. Parents wouldn't even let their children play with Naruto even before Naruto began his pranking spree to gain attention. Needles to say that Naruto felt neglected and also began having negative feelings toward the other villagers, of course Naruto would never show it.
Anyway Naruto had just finished setting his new alarm clock, showered, ate his breakfast (with week old spoiled milk), and brushed his teeth. "Hee hee I cant wait to show Iruka sensei my new jutsu in class today haha... Hmm wait a minute. If I show off my new jutsu people will think that I stole the jutsu... well I did steal the jutsu. Anyway if I show off the "Flying Raijin Jutsu" then I could be in big trouble and there is no way I would be getting away with that... ugh this sucks I was really looking forward to it too!"
On the way to the academy Naruto noticed, but ignored, the stares of dislike and hatred directed towards him. Although he was used to it he still didn't like it. At age 5 Naruto began to really notice the hatred in everyone's stare, and if that wasn't the case he was treated as if he never existed. It was during one of his talks soon after with the Third Hokage that Naruto realized his dream to become Hokage.
-Flashback-
"Hey old man?" The 5 year old Naruto asked.
"Hmm? What is it Naruto?" Replied the Third Hokage.
"How come everyone bows and is always nice to you?"
"Thats a good question Naruto. It's because I'm the Hokage."
"Whats a Hokage?"
"I assume you know what a ninja is?" The Third asks, after Naruto nods he continues. "Well the Hokage is the most powerful ninja in the village. He or She is in charge and protects everyone in the village." The Third Finishes.
"Oh... She? Has the ever been a girl Hokage?"
"No, there hasn't been one yet. But it is possible."
"Really? How come old man?"
"Hmm. My time as a ninja and Hokage I have seen many things. A kunoichi a girl ninja being stronger than a boy ninja is one of them. I have seen such quite a few times." The Third Hokage answers relating to the memory of Tsunade's and Jiraiya's countless physical arguments. Although it was alway Tsunade who was the physically violent one, Jiraiya would just take it due to his feelings for Tsunade.
"Really? Hmm. I don't buy it." Naruto replies.
"Hm hm." Chuckles the Third Hokage.
A couple minutes of silence comes between the two as Naruto thinks about their previous conversational topic. "I've decided!" Naruto decrees.
"Hmm?" The Third Hokage replies confused.
"I've decided that from now on that I'm gonna be the greatest Hokage the village has ever seen, and then everyone will have to acknowledge me and start respecting me. Believe it!"
The Third Hokage stares at him for a few seconds. "Well then we're just going to have to put you in the academy then."
"Huh, the academy?"
"It's a school for up and coming ninja. You'll learn how to become a ninja with other children your age who wish to become a ninja or even perhaps Hokage" Replies the Third Hokage with a smile.
"Really? Then maybe I can finally make some friends and we can help each other become great ninja, but I'm the one who is gonna become Hokage no doubt about it!" Naruto replies excited to have a chance to achieve everything he has just mentioned.
"Well you will be 6 years old soon so you will be placed in the academy this upcoming year."
"WAHOO!" Naruto yells and jumps with excitement and joy.
-Flashback End-
Naruto finally makes it to the academy after his flashback. Unfortunately for Naruto making friends wasn't as easy as he first thought. On the first day Naruto had met some of his fellow classmates and they hit it off quite well during classes. But it wasn't ment to last, for when everyone's, but Naruto's, parents came to pick up their children at school they noticed Naruto and immediately told their children never to associate with "that boy" saying it as if they just had a bad taste in their mouth. When asked "Why?" the parents would just say "Because I said so" with out any further explanation (don't you hate it when that happens?)
Sure there was the few occations like when the "Big Race For Candy" would come up every other weekend hosted by Kiba Inuzuka. Everyone who wanted to race and win more candy, would put their candy in a large bag and the winner would get everything in the bag. Although for Naruto it was more about winning than the candy. Or when class seemed so boring that Naruto, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi, and Kiba Inuzuka would attempt to ditch class and cause their senseis Iruka and Mizuki trouble. But other than that Naruto wasn't really sure if he could count that as friendship or not since he never even had friends before.
Even Sasuke Uchiha who, like him, was alone. Ofcourse Naruto was alone his whole life and Sasuke had his entire clan killed when they were 7 years old. Naruto wanted to approach him but couldn't for some unexplained reason he didn't know. And with Sasuke always having the best scores in class and Naruto having the worst Naruto decided to mark him as his rival in order to push himself to become the best. Unfortunately, for Naruto, it didn't matter how hard he tried he just couldn't keep up in anything.
As Naruto walks into the classroom he does what he usually does. He looks for his crush Sakura Haruno. A girl a few inches taller than him with long pink hair down to a couple inches above her waist. She wore a red battle dress with slits from just below the knee to her waist and skin tight black shorts and blue ninja sandals.
Everyday Naruto would come in, locate her, go up to her and ask her out. And every time get the same answer. "NO!" "NO!"NO YOU IDIOT LEAVE ME ALONE!" And today would be no different.
Naruto found her trying to get a seat next to Sasuke, as always, and says: "Hey Sakura, will yo..."
"NOO! Just leave me alone you idiot! I WILL NEVER GO OUT WITH YOU!" Sakura interrupts with her ear torturing screeching
Naruto hurt goes and sits down a few rows behind and a few more over. As he sits down Naruto bearly hears an "Eep!" but pays it no mind. Next to him Hinata Hyuga, a girl with white eyes, wearing dark blue pants that goes down to her mid calves and a heavy beige jacket with a red Hyuga symbol in a yellow circle on both shoulders and blue ninja sandals.
Everyday Hinata would wait for Naruto to come in and hope that he would sit next to her. She would always watch as Naruto would come in, go to Sakura, ask her out (or attempt to), get rejected and walk away and sit somewhere else. Only today did it just so happen that Naruto would sit next to Hinata. Although Hinata is the heiress to the old, noble, and proud Hyuga clan she is overly shy and lacks in confidence. Always concerned how everyone views her physically and mentally.
Since a young age Hinata was to meet extremely high standards, even for an heiress. Whether it was her clan's Gentle Fist taijutsu, manners/ediquite etc. The pressure would sometimes become too much for her, earning disappointing looks and words from her own father Hiashi Hyuga. And to make things worse, her cousin Neji would always belittle her for how weak she was due to an incedent concerning his father, her uncle, Hizashi when she was 3.
After shortly entering the academy Hinata had developed a crush on Naruto. As time went on and seeing how Naruto acted when in public compared to how he acted in private, when he thought he was alone, her feelings for the blond loud mouth grew. She realized that Naruto acted the way he did because he was lonely and everyone hardly paid any attention to him. And although she wanted to tell him how she felt, she just couldn't because she was afraid of being turned down and that Naruto would think she was a freak for following him.
Hinata knew that Naruto was upset about being rejected by Sakura once again, even if he didn't show it. But she really wanted to try and cheer him up a bit. "U..um N..Naruto?" Says Hinata with a slight stutter, proud that she managed to make an attempt.
"Hmm? Oh hey Hinata, whats up?" Naruto replies not noticing that he was sitting next to Hinata.
"U..um a..are you o...ok? I mean with ho..how Sakura y...yelled at y..you like that?"
"Huh? Oh. Oh yea I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"Oh n..no re..reason at all. I'm so..sorry I asked." Hinata replies, surprised that Naruto asked her a question in return.
"It's ok." Naruto says with a genuine smile on his face, happy that it seemed like someone seemed to care. All his other classmates wouldn't even bother asking if he was ok. Curious about something he ask Hinata a question. "Hey Hinata?"
"Huh?" Hinata asks surprised that Naruto is talking to her.
"I was wondering..." at this point Hinata begins to blush slightly. "why you don't try and sitting next to Sasuke? I mean all the other girls seem to like him."
Hinata a little disappointed thinking that Naruto would ask that instead of asking asking her out, but didn't really blame him, replied. "W..w..well umm i..its because I..I d..dont really l..like Sasuke l..like th..that." Hinata said quietly so as not to gain attention from all the other girls in the classroom.
"Huh? Really? Is there anyone you do like?" Naruto asks, just genuinely curious.
Now Hinata was really blushing up a storm to that question. "This is my chance. My chance to tell Naruto how I feel. But what if he thinks I'm wierd because I like him? Oh I..I just don't know what to say." "W..well I..I..I l..like y..." Just then the door to the class room opens.
In came Iruka Umino and Mizuki (if anyone knows his last name let my know please). Iruka is about 5'8 with an average build with brown hair and brown eyes, and a scar running across the bridge of his nose. He wears the standard dark blue Leaf ninja long sleeve shirt and pants, with his sleeves rolled up half way up his forearms and a green flak jacket on top with a red swirling symbol on the back, with blue ninja sandals. And of course the Leaf headband.
Mizuki had shoulder length silver hair and wore the same clothes as Iruka but, without having his sleeves rolled up and his Leaf headband more of a bandanna style.
Hinata released a silent *sigh* of relief for the interruption, but she also mentally berated herself for not telling Naruto how she felt when she had the chance.
"Good morning class, now if everyone will take their seats so we can take attendance and begin todays lessons." Said Iruka as he walked to the desk both he and Mizuki shared in front of the classroom.
For Naruto it was the same as usual. Iruka and Mizuki come in, begins the boring lessons get yelled at for not paying attention, have lunch at Ichiraku's, back to lessons, get yelled at for not paying attention again, and finally the end of class. The only difference today was that Naruto made sure he was the last one in the classroom before going to lunch. The reason being that he wanted to place the seal for the "Flying Raijin Jutsu"somewhere in the class where no one can find it. He planned on using it in the morning to get to the academy quickly so he wouldn't have to deal with all the stares he usually got on the way to and from his apartment.
Naruto was going to use it tomorrow before the school opened and see when it was safest to enter via "Flying Raijin Jutsu." The only real problem Naruto saw was being seen using the jutsu after school heading for home. So he would make sure he wasn't followed after school, although he doubted anyone would, but just to be on the safe side he would check before using his jutsu.
Once class was over Naruto headed outside behind the building, secretly followed by Hinata of course, and jumped into the bushiest tree he could find. Once he was confident that no one could see him he performed the hand signs for the jutsu and disappeared.
Once he was home Naruto fell over from dizziness again. "Oh man I can't wait till this dizziness thing is over with, I always feel like throwing up ..ugh."
Naruto then put up his school supplies and headed off towards Ichiraku's Ramen. Naruto considered putting the seal at Ichiraku's but thought better of it considering its publicity and he could easily be caught.
Meanwhile Hinata was in shock that Naruto could just disappear like that. Hinata used her Byakugan once Naruto entered the tree so that Naruto couldn't see her following him. "Ho..how did Naruto do that? I..I mean he has never just disappeared like that before. I'm sure I saw Naruto using hand signs but I'm not sure if there is a jutsu that would allow someone to just disappear like that... Naruto just where did you go?"
Hinata, knowing that Naruto usually stops at Ichiraku's after school before training and then Ichiraku's and then going home, decided to see if the was at Ichiraku's. Sure enough thats exactly where he was when she found him. Using her Byakugan Hinata peered inside Ichiraku's to watch Naruto. "Hmm.. Naruto doesn't have his school supplies with him. Did he go home after he disappeared?" Remembering that she had private Gentle Fist training with her father today Hinata headed home.
Over the next few weeks Naruto was the first in the classroom, which confused his classmates at first but they got over it and began ignoring him again. The only one who didn't was Hinata. She was getting increasingly curious how Naruto was disappearing the way he was. She noticed that when he was finished training that he would always walk to Ichiraku's and disappear for home. She figured that he had his reasons, but for the life of her she just couldn't figure out why or how he did it. But she was determined to find out.
Naruto began to really wonder how the jutsu was really supposed to be used. He didn't pay much attention today's lesson even though one of the topics was about the Fourth Hokage and him being sometimes refered as "The Yellow Flash". Naruto realizing that little bit went up to Iruka after the classroom was empty except for him and Iruka, Mizuki had to leave early today for a check-up at the doctor, so Naruto went up to Iruka. "Iruka sensei?" Naruto asked nervously.
"Hmm...what is it Naruto?"
Hesitant about his secret being found out Naruto asked "Why was the Fourth Hokage called "The Yellow Flash"?"
*sigh* "Honestly, haven't you been paying attention? The Fourth Hokage was nicknamed that because he used a jutsu to teleport from place to place instantly. When he used the jutsu he would disappear and reappear in a flash of yellow, hence he was refered to as "The Yellow Flash"." Iruka replied.
Hinata *gasp*ed from the other side of the closed classroom door. Hinata realized that Naruto wasn't the first one out the classroom like he usually is, so she decided to eavesdrop from the other side of the door after she closed it when she was the last one, except Naruto and Iruka, to leave. Once Iruka mentioned "a flash of yellow" she remembered seeing Naruto disappearing the exact same way. "So thats how Naruto did it? He somehow managed to get a hold on the Fourth Hokage's "Flying Raijin Jutsu" and mastered it."
"What was the jutsu used he called, and how did he use it on missions?" Naruto asked.
"It was called "The Flying Raijin Jutsu"..." Naruto bearly managed to hold in any reaction he could have made when he heard that. "...and he had to use a complicated sealing jutsu. He could use it in battle by using special tri-pronged kunai that had the seal etched on the side, and he would throw multiple of them at his enemies or in the vicinity, if the battle was in the forest or something, but he would then suddenly appear near one of those tri-kunai and take down his enemy. By using this jutsu he could defeat multiple high level opponents at once with hardly any effort. He could also place the seal on his opponent directly in any sort of taijutsu confrontation. It's because of this jutsu that he was placed in the bingo book with a "flee on sight" order."
Naruto could hardly believe it. He didn't even know he could place a seal on something, or someone, or that the jutsu was that amazing and could use it to defeat anyone so easily. "Which means until people start acknowledging me I have to use the "Flying Raijin Jutsu" only in an emergency during missions." "Oh I gotcha sensei, man that has got to be the most awesome jutsu ever! Hee hee!"
"Haha. Yea I guess it would be." Iruka replied completely oblivious to what Naruto was possibly thinking. "Well anyway, how 'bout we head over to Ichiraku's? My treat."
"Oh yea awesome! Hee hee!" Says Naruto excited that he will get free ramen today from his favorite ramen stand.
Taking that as her que Hinata hurries away from the door and heads home shocked to find out Naruto's secret Jutsu.
How was it? Please review.
