A/N: Hello again everyone I am back for chapter two and I want to thank those that reviewed or alerted It means alot to me. So thats pretty much everything I wanted to say just read on.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything that may show up in this story i just do this for fun.
Naruto walked toward the ninja Academy in very high spirits not only confident in his ability to pass the gennin exam but also because Naruto was able to see the first three people that cared for him after seven long years. The old man was always there that Naruto couldn't even remember the first time they met. Ibiki saved Naruto from an attempted murder and even took Naruto to eat at a nice restaurant but what put Ibiki in Naruto's short list of "People he would die for" Was when hearing that Naruto had no place to stay Ibiki let Naruto live with him as long as he wanted even though shortly after Naruto got his own apartment. Anko's meeting was very strange to say the least, Naruto was being chased by four grown men when out of no where Anko appeared and beat them within an inch of there lives but when she was done and saw Naruto she immediately grabbed him to her rather nice bust screaming about cute chibi's and wanting to keep him forever. Thinking on that day especially Naruto almost blushed but being taught by probably the most stoic person in existence rubbed off on Naruto since he is more then capable of controlling his emotions.
Leaving his thoughts for another time Naruto started to familiarize himself with the town of Konoha again. Noticing the looks of lust he was receiving from the woman and girls alike made Naruto feel like he was wanted but that all went straight to hell when the woman saw his now purple whisker marks and started giving him looks of hatred and disgust, Sadly for Konoha this just lowered Naruto's already low tolerance for Konoha and her citizens. Realizing that he had made it to his destination Naruto proceeded inside looking for room 117, Three minutes into his search he finally found his assigned room and walked right in effectively stopping all of the chatter as boys and girls all stared with open mouths one girl even stood up and attempted a Genjutsu release and when nothing happened the room erupted in whispers but Naruto ignored them all as he walked up to the lone chunin instructor that bore a horizontal scar across his nose.
Handing the paper to the teacher he stated "I am here to take the gennin exam" In his monotone voice and neutral face.
The chunin read the paper and nodded his head in approval "My name is Iruka-Sensei, Please take the available seat in the front row and when we call your name you will step into the next room and take the exam".
Naruto nodded and took his seat which happened to be next to a dark haired black eyed boy that took a look at Naruto only to turn a way muttering "Weakling" under his breath, Naruto may not have super hearing but he would have to be deaf not to hear the blatant insult, Calming his demonic and spartan pride Naruto decided not to start the fight this kid was trying to pick thinking it was better then getting into altercations on his first and last day at the Academy. Watching as students passed and failed it was finally his turn, Stepping into the next room Naruto waited patiently for Iruka-Sensei and his assistant to gather there professionalism seeing as how when the assistant saw the name on the paper he started to yell about demons and not caring about the law. Naruto cleared his throat hoping to at least notify the two teachers that he was indeed still in the same room.
"Naruto I am terribly sorry for Mizuki-Sensei's behavior, Please wait a minute longer while I attempt to call him down" Said Iruka desperately trying to calm Mizuki.
Mizuki however took great offense to this and showed it "Iruka dont you DARE apologize to this DEMON!!, He killed our families I will not allow him to join our ranks as an equal" He shouted.
Naruto merely turned his head to the corner of the room and pointed at Mizuki who was now looking at Naruto strangely "Would you please escort chunin Mizuki to the hokage because I do believe he has broken a law" Seemingly speaking to no one.
In the corner of the room the wall started to shimmer revealing a hidden lion masked red haired ANBU who nodded "Yes Naruto-san I also believe a meeting with Hokage-Sama is in order" The ANBU stated with a female monotone voice.
The now frightened Mizuki lunged at Naruto hoping to inflict some damage to the so called demon but was greatly disappointed when he felt the blow to the back of his head and his vision start to fade before he made it to his target.
The ANBU threw Mizuki over her shoulder putting her hand into a seal "Good luck on your exam Naruto-San" and she teleported out of the room supposedly to the hokage tower.
Now Iruka having the natural instincts of a ninja was put on the edge because of the fact that there were no assigned ANBU guarding the Academy since there will be plenty of instructors there in case something happens, Another thing that bothered Iruka was that he didn't sense her despite what people think Iruka was not your regular chunin having served on ANBU himself for three years before he decided teaching was his real calling and to not have sensed her meant that he was dangerously lacking or she was just dangerously strong either way it was bad.
Naruto seeing Iruka look at the corner of the room with intense concentration on his face thought it was better to grab Iruka's attention now and he did so by clearing his throat loudly "Iruka-Sensei can I take the test now?"
Snapping out of his inner thoughts Iruka sat down at the examination table "I apologize Naruto now can you please make three healthy clones?".
Naruto who was extremely disappointed in the test put both hands in a cross sign and whispered "Shadow clone jutsu" and three healthy clones fazed into existence without a sound.
Iruka looked over the clones with appraising eye and was indeed ready to pass Naruto until one of his clones took a couple of step away from Naruto making Iruka throw a kunai knife at it because he heard its footsteps, And when said clone caught the kunai between his fingers Iruka's mouth Practically kissed the floor when it dropped.
Iruka snapped his head in the real Naruto's direction amazement and disbelief in his eyes "Naruto how could you possibly know the forbidden shadow clone jutsu and be able to use it without the poof of smoke?" Iruka shouted out his question.
Calmly dispelling his jutsu still not using the widely known poof of smoke, Naruto walked up to the table grabbing a leaf headband and said "Don't be surprised Iruka-Sensei you know what hard work can achieve besides that technique has been around since the first hokage ruled Konoha" and then gracefully walked out the door leaving a flustered and shocked Iruka behind.
Stepping back into the main room again with his headband in his pocket made many students think he was all looks with no skills in fact a certain Inuzuka made it publicly known how he felt "Ha he looks tough but he couldn't even pass that easy test, What a loser" Naruto looked up at who he recognized to be Kiba and his dog Akamaru getting ready to make a retort Naruto was interrupted by a monotone voice.
"Kiba-San you should not make assumptions just by what you see or it will cost you your life in the future, I'm sure since you tried to humiliate Naruto-San in front of our peers he would not be against treating you the same by showing us what he has in his pocket Isn't that right Naruto-San?" The voice Naruto recognized as Shino's the only bug user in his generation.
Naruto put on his trademark gentle smile and reached into his pockets pulling out his headband "You are quite right Shino-San, You see Kiba-San I only had the headband in my pocket because i could not figure out where i wanted to place it. Am I a loser because I could not make a decision?".
Kiba trying to save face and reputation quickly retorted "Well yea you are I mean its called a head band for a reason, Where else would you put it?"
To which Naruto quickly answered "Then i believe you are calling Ino-San a loser since she wears her headband on her belt and Hinata-San is also a loser because she chooses to wear her headband on her neck, Which makes Shikamaru-San a loser as well seeing as he wears his headband on his arm sleeve".
Kiba who was friends with Shikamaru and had a monster crush on Hinata tried to deny Naruto's statement by stuttering out a "N-no there not losers only you" But just ended up looking stupid with most of the class snickering about how Kiba just got owned.
Iruka came back into the room commanding attention and spoke "Congratulations for those who passed there gennin exams and for those who failed better luck next year. I will now read off the teams that were put together due to your performances and all year round class grade. (Teams 1 through 6 are not important) Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha rookie of the year, Sakura Haruno and Shikamaru Nara dead last of the year led by jounin instructor Kakashi Hatake".
Like clock work Sakura started to scream about true love prevailing with half of the girls in the class crying and begging to be on Sasuke's team but Iruka shouted out a "Shut the hell up" and the class was quiet once more.
"Now that I have your attention I can begin again, Team 8 will be Shino Abrumae, Hinata Hyuuga and new comer Naruto Uzumaki led by jounin instructor Kurenai Yuhi. Team 9 is still in rotation from last year so Team 10 will be Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanaka and Chouji Akamichi led by jounin instructor Asuma Sarutobi. Once again congratulations for those who passed please wait here for your jounin instructors". Iruka finishing his little speech with a low bow signifying his respect for the new ninjas.
Naruto walked over to where Shino was sitting grabbing Hinata on the way and asked "May we sit with you Shino-San?" Shino nodded his consent and Naruto sat in the middle with Hinata on his right. Naruto looked over his teammates noticing that they were both bloodline users. Shino was stoic and as other Abrumae's used logic and reasoning instead of emotion ruled decisions and Shino obviously took the ninja career seriously probably because he was the heir to his clan but that was just common knowledge everyone knew all the heirs to the clans and Naruto just happened to know from hearing it on the street. Hinata like Shino was also an heiress to her clan and as far as Naruto could see was a naturally caring person but that did not mean she was weak since she was the most talented kunoichi in the class and that counted for something but there was a spark of something in Hinata's eye that seemed off regardless Naruto figured he would find out sometime in the future.
Shino who was usually quiet broke the silence "Naruto-San, Hinata-San I believe we should get to know each other since we will be working together from now on and lack of information could prove to be our downfall".
Hinata joined in "I agree and I hope instead of becoming just ninja in arms that we could become friends as well" She finished with a smile on her face.
Naruto with his gentle smile replied "Sounds good to me but how would you like to do this? and if were going to be teammates we should be on first name bases no more formalities".
Shino nodded "Very well Naruto-S I mean Naruto. I think it would be best if we just asked and answered questions for example Hinata what do you do in your free time?" Shino asked.
"I enjoy flower pressing and making medicinal balms during my free time, Also of course the occasional training session I like to participate in. Shino what do you like to do in your free time?" Hinata said.
"In my free time I like to collect bugs to expand my colony, I also enjoy experimenting to make a new breed of destruction bugs for my clan. Naruto what do you like to do in your free time?" Shino asked.
Naruto nodded and was about to answer put a poof of smoke revealed a black haired red eyed lady who called out for team 8, Naruto looked at his teammates and saw a frown on Shino's face and Hinata looked a little sad but before he could even ask Shino spoke up "Next time Naruto". Obviously they were very curious about Naruto which made sense since he came out of no where all they knew was his name and that he could perform three clones so it took no genius to figure out that Shino and Hinata was angry at there first chance of knowing something about Naruto was interrupted.
Naruto just nodded his acceptance and walked with his team to the jounin instructor who led them to an empty class room. Kurenai looked over students her gaze lingering on Naruto as everything she did and watched others do flashed before her eye's, Honestly Kurenai didn't care about the Kyuubi in Naruto but at the time she had just started dating Asuma and he was a regular Naruto beater whenever he was in the mood. So she just went along with it not wanting to lose him so early because she knew that if she said something they would've had there biggest fight and he might have broken up with her and she didn't want to take the chance. Whenever she attacked him though she only used illusion hoping Naruto would know it was fake and she only used illusions that made him think he was being beat or attacked since he was already getting that in real life she hoped it wouldn't seriously affect him. But looking into that expressionless face and those cold amber eye's made her remember when he was young and Asuma for some reason wanted Naruto to suffer more mental pain so he made everyone that ransacked little Naruto's room to make room for her and he told her "Make the demon scream, I want him to live out his worst fear. Can you do that Nai-Chan?" Just the way he whispered it into her ear adding the affectionate suffix made Kurenai not want to disappoint him. So she did it and believe it or not little Naruto's scream still haunt her to this day but what stuck out was when she finally released the Genjutsu little five year old Naruto looked at her with so much hate and murderous intent in his blue eyes that at that moment Kurenai knew this day would never be forgotten and she would never be forgiven and she knew if he survived he would come looking for revenge and she would be one of the people he would come for.
"Um Kurenai-Sensei?" Kurenai was brought out of her inner monologue by Hinata's voice. "Yes Hinata-Chan?" She responded.
"Well Um you were staring at Naruto for a long time" Hinata said not wanting to embarrass her new sensei.
Kurenai was indeed embarrassed and tried to find something to say but Shino for reasons unknown decided to rub salt in her wound by stating "Yes indeed sensei it seems seeing Naruto trigged memories which resulted in you being lost in thought, Which also makes me think that you knew Naruto in the past despite me or Hinata never seeing him before."
Inwardly Kurenai cursed the Abrumae's observation skills and was desperately trying to find something to say to get out of this awkwardness only to be interrupted by the very person who was invading her thoughts.
"Your right Shino me and this woman do have history, Would you like to tell Hinata and Shino how we know each other?" Naruto said his eyes never leaving Kurenai's and instead of his trademark gentle smile he had a positively blood thirsty smirk on his face that scared Hinata and disturbed Shino who was as this moment not sure if he even wanted to know.
"NO!!" Kurenai shouted making Hinata jump and Shino raise an eyebrow "They do not need to know Naruto, That is our past and we dont need to involve them" Kurenai finished praying to all gods that Naruto would drop the subject and not ruin her image in front of her two other students.
Naruto snarled "I see so you don't want the younger generation to know cause you know that they would despise you but your fine with your generation knowing because they'll applaud you, No worries i wont reveal anything YET!".
Kurenai seeing that Naruto was done tried to get on with her introduction "Well with all that aside I will be your jounin instructor, Usually all gennins would have a second test but you already past yours by trying to get to know each other when you guys found out you were on the same team. We will start introducing ourselves and I'll go first my name is Kurenai Yuhi and I am a Genjutsu specialist, I enjoy a good book and relaxing at the hot springs. I dislike perverts and sexist pigs my goals and dreams are to help you all achieve jounin status".
Hinata who was next in line sat up straight and said "My name is Hinata Hyuuga the heiress to the Hyuuga clan, I enjoy flower pressing and making medicinal creams. I dislike those who judge before they know someone and those that would cause unneeded violence. My goals and dreams are to change the Hyuuga clan for the better" She finished with a sad smile on her face.
Shino fixed his glasses and stood up "My name is Shino Abrumae heir to the Abrumae clan, I enjoy collecting bugs to expand my colony and experimenting to make a new breed of battle ready bugs for my clan. I dislike those who cannot think for themselves and those that allow other people to manipulate them. I also dislike those who allow petty emotion to cloud there logic and judgment. My dreams and goal are to become the strongest Abrumae in the village and create new bugs for the clan".
Kurenai who was outwardly smiling at the two introuductions was inwardly devastated. Her two students dislikes perfectly described her in her past with Naruto and if he was to say something to them they would not only lose all respect for her but would also despise her and her first gennin team would fall apart in shambles.
Naruto noticing it was his turn stood up gathering attention from them all as Shino and Hinata was very curious about him and Kurenai wanted to know where he disappeared to and hopefully find out how strong Naruto was "My name is Naruto Uzumaki my likes are training and the few people who are important to me. My dislikes are Konoha and most of her citizens, My goal is to become the strongest ninja in the world" Gaining weird looks when he mentioned Konoha.
"So essentially you wish to be Hokage?" Asked Shino still wanting to know more about his teammate.
"The Hokage while being the strongest in the village would have to protect Konoha and I will never protect Konoha unless our current Hokage asks me to" Stated Naruto.
Hinata was confused and decided to try her luck on Naruto "Why do you dislike Konoha so much Naruto?" She asked.
Naruto smiled when he heard Hinata truthfully he was waiting for someone to ask so he could put Kurenai on edge and when he was going to open his mouth to respond he was interrupted by the very person he wanted to ruin.
"I think thats enough questions for Naruto, Now missions will start tomorrow at 8 sharp your dismissed but I would like a word with Naruto alone" Kurenai said in a commanding voice showing she was serious.
"Yes sensei" Hinata and Shino chorused. They both stood up with Hinata muttering a small goodbye to Naruto while Shino just nodded and then they were gone leaving Naruto and Kurenai alone.
With Shino and Hinata.
In front of the Academy Hinata stopped Shino "Um are you as curios as I am about the history between sensei and Naruto?" She asked.
Shino nodded "Yes I am curios as well, I believe we need more information on Naruto I will ask my father and I suggest you do the same".
Hinata nodded and before parting ways she said "I am glad to be paired with you Shino along with Naruto".
To which Shino replied with a short "I am glad as well" And they went there separate ways.
Back with Naruto and Kurenai.
Naruto and Kurenai were staring each other down, Naruto ready to defend himself in case Kurenai attacked and Kurenai tense and anxious in case Naruto extracted his revenge but after two minutes of nothing but staring Naruto got frustrated and broke the silence "What do you want?" His voice so cold Kurenai fought hard to suppress a shiver from running down her back.
Kurenai wanting to be over with this as quick as possible got straight to the point "I want to know where you were for the past seven years".
Naruto crossed his arms over his chest and answered "No".
"As your sensei I demand to know where you were at and how strong you currently are" Kurenai retorted hotly.
Naruto looked her over and said "If I did not tell the Hokage of my whereabouts then what makes you think I would tell you?".
Kurenai tried to find some reason she should know but she came up empty, She knew trying to pull rank would not get her far and now she knew not what to say but she was spared the embarrassment when Naruto continued to speak.
"Although I will give you a taste of the strength I have earned" Naruto said and before Kurenai could react Naruto released a flood of killing intent sending her straight to her knee's gasping for air with tears welling up in her eye's. Finally stopping the flow of killing intent he walked over to Kurenai who was on her knee's shaking tears spilling on to the floor he gently cupped her chin pushing her face so she could look into his cold amber eye's and he said "That was a moderate dose of my battle aura used to scare weaklings off the battle field, I could end it now but you Kakashi, Gai, Asuma and Hayate should enjoy your lives for when the old man dies so will you all". And he walked out of the room leaving her on the floor.
At the Hokage tower all the new instructors and curios jounin were waiting on Kurenai who was uncharacteristically late so that they could find out the new teams. The Sandaime already sent an ANBU to locate her who were gone for over five minutes so when the gathered ninja felt a certain amount of focus chakra they all turned almost eagerly to the spot that was saturated with chakra and in a poof of smoke there was the sent Anbu with an obviously terror stricken Kurenai.
The sparrow masked ANBU lowered his head in respect being that he couldn't bow "Hokage-Sama I found her on the floor of class room 119. There were no signs of an attack on her person and I also ruled out Genjutsu seeing as she is the leading expert of Genjutsu and would have been able to Dispel most illusions" He said.
Sarutobi pulled aside a chair and motioned for the ANBU to put her down while giving the ANBU a simple pat on the back letting him know he wasn't needed anymore. The ANBU saluted the Hokage and disappeared in a poof, Meanwhile the Sandaime was in front of Kurenai holding her head with his thumbs placed directly on her temples. Sarutobi's hand started to glow green signifying his use of medical jutsu and Kurenai visibly relaxed under his treatment. Anko who was in attendance was worried about her ex best friend and was glad to see that the Sandaime was able to help her which prompted her to ask "Hokage-Sama what was that technique you used".
The old Hokage just chuckled and replied "It was nothing more then a relaxation technique, I applied this same technique to a young Tsunade when she was stressed and I believe it was that moment in which Tsunade began to have interest in medical jutsu but enough with my old man ramblings Kurenai dear what caused this?".
Kurenai being more relaxed looked up at the hokage and uttered a single word "Naruto" Causing everyone in the room to stiffen at the name.
Sarutobi instantly lost his grandfatherly look and was now the commander of Konoha "Tell me everything of importance leave nothing significant out of your report, And If you lie I will know and punish you accordingly" He stated never wavering in his voice.
Kurenai knew better then to try and lie to the Hokage not only was he an expert at reading people but just the idea of him being disappointed in you made you really feel ashamed it had to be the grandfatherly role he played so perfectly "After the team placements I body flickered into the room noticing my new team which has Naruto in it had already passed the customary teamwork test since they were in the process of introducing themselves to each other. I then toke them into a empty room so they could properly introduce themselves and when I dismissed my new team I asked Naruto to remain behind. I then asked him to tell me where he was for the past seven years but he said no and then I tried to pull rank and demand his past location and current strength but he still refused to say where he was and then told me he would give me a taste of the power he earned and doused me in killing intent. He then made a statement and left me on the floor where the ANBU found me" She said her eyes refusing to meet the Hokage's as everyone was quiet after hearing that little tale.
The Sandaime digested all the information and asked "So my Naruto reduced you to a sobbing mess with his killing intent alone?" Kurenai nodded deeply ashamed for her actions and how Naruto embarrassed her throughly.
"Sorry for the interruption Hokage-Sama but I would like to know the statement Naruto made before leaving the room" asked Might Guy who was only there to see if Kakashi passed his team.
Sarutobi nodded in acceptance "I almost forgot about that. If you would Kurenai please repeat what Naruto said?".
"Naruto remarked while I was on the floor that he struck me with moderate killing intent and although he could end it now that I along with Kakashi-San, Asuma-San, Gai-San and Hayate-San should enjoy our lives because when the old man dies so will we" She said.
"Ha-Ha well it seems you five are lucky that I am still around or else you would be dead" Chuckled Sarutobi despite the seriousness of the situation.
"I believe you overestimate Naruto Hokage-Sama" Said Kakashi in his usual nonchalant tone completely dismissing the threat to his life.
"And I believe you underestimate Naruto Kakashi" Retorted the Sandaime with that sort of all knowing voice.
Hayate was slightly annoyed that the Hokage wasn't taking this serious at all "With all due respect Hokage-Sama a leaf ninja threatened his fellow ninjas with death shouldn't some action be taken?".
The Hokage adopted a very serious look on his face prompting all the ninja to await his words of wisdom "In all honesty you five deserve your upcoming deaths, If I hadn't swore an oath to the Yondaime stating I would protect Konoha to my death or until my next successor is named I would have killed all of you my self and taken Naruto out of Konoha. Seeing the way my ninja have acted and still act positively sicken me, The will of fire definitely dwindled in you all" All the ninja were shocked at there Hokage's words, Most of the ninja looked down in shame as they recalled how they either threw things or just treated Naruto badly.
"And the sad part is there is no chance of redeeming your self after all the damage you've caused, Plus when I'm long gone only Anko or Ibiki might be able to stall your deaths and I believe Kurenai already messed that up by ending her friendship with Anko calling her a traitorous demon lover. Am i right?" Continued the Sandaime.
Anko nodded remembering that day well while Ibiki leaned on the wall frowning there was no way anyone would get any sympathy from him. Kurenai if possible was really regretting alot of choices she made in her life. Also Hayate was starting to doubt his past choices seeing that not even the kindest hokage held pity for them, Kakashi just kept reading if that little 13 year old gennin wanted to try anything then he would just kill the demon and claim self defense besides there's no way he could be beaten by a kid right?. Asuma was staring intently at his father not believing that he would've killed his son because of the Kyuubi kid and poor Gai was just plain confused was the Hokage right was his flames of youth diminishing?.
Sarutobi interrupted everyone's thought as he spoke "Ok everyone on with the meeting I will personally speak with Naruto tomorrow when his team comes in for there missions" And with that the original meeting was well on its way.
But sadly despite Konoha being the strongest of the elemental countries the independent ninja skills was lacking for in the corner of the room using her now frequently used Genjutsu was a red haired ANBU with a lions mask who was grinning under her mask taking in all the information she had learned and when she deemed the meeting taking place pointless she simply fazed out of existence nobody knowing she was there to begin with.
On the Hokage Faces.
Naruto sat upon the Shodaime's head relaxing thinking of things to come when he felt a presence. Turning his head to look at his new guest he took in her appearance and wanted to laugh at her choice of Konoha ANBU clothing.
"So what's going on?" Naruto lazily asked.
"Well Naruto-Kun it seems the Sandaime greatly favors you even going as far as saying he would have killed all those who harmed you but didn't only cause of the Yondaime" Her earlier monotone voice replaced by a care free tone.
Naruto sat up straight "Wow the old man really said that?" He asked not really believing it.
The ANBU laughed seeing Naruto's incredulous expression "Indeed Naruto, I believe you won't have to tread as lightly as you thought just don't kill people" She said.
"Well I have you to kill for me, Anyway just continue to pick off those demon haters but make them clean kills like poison in the food or a nice senbon to the neck but if a fight is unavoidable then incinerate the body leaving absolutely no trace. I'll mark those bigots like always so you know who to target, Oh and please keep your ears open for information I mean you know the shadow clone technique so use it since its perfect for espionage and info gathering" Naruto ordered.
The ANBU nodded and asked "Is that all Naruto-Kun?".
"No thats all just come see me tomorrow same time but at our other place ok?" Naruto asked.
"Of course Naruto-Kun but do you know how cute you are when you go into commando mode?" Giggling like a fool as she fazed away.
Naruto just sighed that gentle smile still on his face while thinking 'So far so good' And continued to stare at the stars.
Well thats Chapter 2 i know some of you might be asking who is this strange ANBU and it's not who you think it is or you might be asking what Naruto is planning but that will all be revealed in due time but until then please review i could you use the criticism and praise never hurts either. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
