Quick note: Since this is may affect my readers, this is Au after the K.o. on the Hokage. However, since this piece is so prevelent did I decide to skip it and start when Iruka finds Naruto in the woods. Mizuki will face Naruto's wrath, but it will also include Freelancer and Kakashi's 'Thousand years of pain' later in the story. [Que manical laughter]

"NARUTO!" Iruka screams out at his wayward student, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH STEALING THE FORBIDDEN SCROLL OF SEALING!"

"I'm completing the secret graduation test," Naruto replies innocently, "you just arrived to congratulate me. I only had time to learn one jutsu from here!"

"Naruto," Iruka sighs, "there was no test. Someone is using you to steal from the Hokage. Come with me and we will sort this out with Lord Third."

"So," Naruto whimpers, "I won't be able to be a shinobi?"

"Maybe, but you did demonstrate that you have high stealth skills to be considered to be field promoted. Let's see what the Hokage says."

"Ok Iruka-sensei."

[Time Skip]

"So," Hiruzen Sarutobi growls, "one of our own instructors saw fit to use an innocent student in his plot to defect from us. But to who I wonder?"

"I am very sorry jiji. I thought it was all a simulated test. Please forgive me." Naruto cries.

"No need for apologies my boy," the old Hokage reassures the worried youth, "the fact that you were able to sneak in here shows that you Naruto knows what is important for any shinobi. Stealth. For this I, Hiruzen Sarutobi active Hokage, allow Naruto Uzumaki to join the ranks of this village's Shinobi Corps. I congratulate you genin Uzumaki on completing the requirements of joining us. Here is your hayate and Iruka will see you in a few days for team placements."

Naruto beams at his surrogate grandfather with unadulterated joy, "You can count on me jiiji!"

Suddenly, they hear a loud thump on the window. Everyone there was not prepared for what they saw plastered to the window.

Yea, that's a wrap. If you're wondering; yes, that was Cherrit who hit the window. We will be begining to discuss about Titans and other creatures.NO, BEFORE ANYONE ASKS I WILL NOT MAKE ANY OF THE BIJJU'S A TITAN!!!!!!!! Anyways see ja on da flip side.
