Ok, this is Chapter one of the story, hope you enjoy.

I don't own Naruto etc. as I stated in the prologue. This is set 6 months after Naruto's return. So Naruto is 15 years old. Or 16? O well, I'll make him 15.

Chapter 1: Naruto, Anbu and Genins.

Fire Country, Hidden Village of Konoha.

Early morning sunlight streamed through the window of a small and rather dusty apartment belonging to a snoring Uzumaki Naruto. The apartment, dusty from years of neglect, only contained a minimal of items. A photograph lay on the bedside table; a worn looking bag lay on the ground forgotten, and the kitchen cupboards only held 50 cups of 3 minute ramen. Well, that wasn't a lot for the ramen addicted blonde. As Naruto peacefully snored on an orange frog appeared at the window, carrying a message scroll for Naruto. The frog crept to Naruto's ear, and after screeching at the top of its voice left the scroll and carried on his way. A disturbed and irritable Naruto regretfully woke from his slumber and wondered what the scroll was about. He shrugged off his sleepiness and opened up the scroll.

"What the hell does Ero-sennin want now?" wondered an annoyed Naruto, "I just got back from an Anbu mission last night."

Naruto

Tsunade has requested an urgent meeting with you. You better report to her ASAP, otherwise you may lose the ability to have children for the rest of your lifetime. Naruto gulped at this thought. Oh and I've already been talking to her about how you want to change status.

Jiraiya

Naruto closed up the scroll, changed and darted over to the hokage tower.

Jeez, what does she want now? Naruto wondered as he crashed through the Hokage's office window.

"Naruto, WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT USING THE DOOR! THAT'S THE 36TH TIME THIS MONTH!!!" Tsunade shouted as she angrily punched her desk out of the door and knocked the jounin guard unconscious.

"Eh he he he, you look lovely today Tsunade baa-

"SHUT IT!"

A now very pale Naruto timidly asked her what she wanted in the first place.

"Sit down Naruto," Tsunade said.

"O-ok, Tsunade Baa- I MEAN TSUNADE-SAMA," as she shot a dangerous look at him.

"SHIZUNE!"

"YES TSUNADE-SAMA, IS IT URGENT?" asked Shizune as she bounded in with a stack of books.

"Yes Shizune it is, I need you to get me some sake."

Shizune sweat dropped at this, but quickly left upon seeing Tsunade's temple start to throb.

"Good! Now that that's organized, I have something important to ask you, Naruto on your last Anbu Mission, what exactly happened, and what makes you want to resign? The mission was a complete success and it was your first as captain." She asked.

"Tsunade-baachan, I would rather not say, and I have decided to resign. I wish to have my own genin team, rather than continuing with Anbu missions." He answered.

"What about your team members Naruto? They will not-

"I have already told them about this, and I have requested to have my second in command Neji, to take over my position as captain. Lee and Sakura-chan have accepted this as well."

"Alright, I accept your request, but I would like to know why Naruto!"

"Sorry Baa-chan, but I can't talk about it." Murmured Naruto.

"Fine, you can go now Naruto, I will have your genin team ready by tomorrow."

"Thanks Tsunade Baa-chan!"

"Whatever brat!, Go! I have to do paper work, and where the hell is Shizune with my Sake!" She exclaimed.

Naruto, realizing the all her paperwork was in a heap with the jounin outside, began to creep away while she searched for some sake.

Ichiraku Ramen Bar.

"Your finally here Naruto!" said Iruka, "Its my treat, so next time try to come on time."

"Yes, Yes Iruka-sensei, I just had a meeting with Tsunade baa-chan," replied Naruto.

"Naruto, jeez you shouldn't call our hokage that! Last time you said that she blamed me….." he said while remembering back to that horrible night.

"Iruka-sensei are you going to treat me or what?"

"Yes but-"

"Hey old man 12 bowls of miso ramen and a side of beef!"

"Of course!" replied old man Ichiraku.

"Naruto let me-"

"SO Iruka-sensei, have you and Tsunade prepared a genin team for me?" he asked.

"Yes Naruto I-"

"YOSH! NOW I HAVE MY OWN GENIN TEAM!" shouted a proud Naruto.

"NARUTO!!!!!" yelled a now annoyed Iruka.

"What?"

"Naruto, have you decided on how you're going to test them tomorrow?"

"Oh, yeah, I forgot that part, he he he," Naruto said while scratching his head.

"You've hardly changed at all have you?" sighed Iruka.

"OF COURSE I HAVE! I was an Anbu captain and I've grown a lot taller over the past 3 years!"

"Naruto, you ba- WHAT??? He shouted as he saw the 12 bowls put in front of Naruto.

"What Iruka-sensei? You said it was you're treat!" while happily stuffing his face with ramen.

"Jeez Naruto, you really haven't changed," he sighed again.

Hokage Tower, Next Morning.

Naruto jumped across the rooftops and smashed through the hokage's office window again.

"Naruto, WOULD YOU USE THE DOOR AND STOP USING THE WINDOW LIKE THAT PERVERTED OLD MAN!" roared Tsunade.

"Y-y-yes Tsunade-sama! For-forgive me!" Naruto timidly replied.

"YOU BETTER! Now that that's done and over with, Naruto I have your genin team waiting at the academy as you asked, but there are some others who would like to talk to you before they go on a mission." She said.

"Really? Who?" he asked.

"Enter."

Neji, Lee and Sakura entered the room, followed by Kiba.

"Hey guys! And Kiba too! So you're the captain now Neji?" naruto asked.

Neji nodded curtly and Sakura replied "And our new team member is Kiba, we'll still miss you though Naruto, good luck with your genin team!"

"Thanks Sakura-chan! Hope your mission goes well!" I gotta go, so I'll see you all when you come back! See ya!" Naruto said as he leapt out of the broken window and headed in the direction of the academy.

"Wait," Tsunade said as the 4 jounin were about to leave.

"What is it hokage-sama?" asked Neji.

"Do any of you know why Naruto quit?"

Neji, Sakura and Lee nodded with Kiba looking slightly confused.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Sorry Tsunade-sama, but Naruto asked us to keep this private for the moment," replied Neji and Sakura and Lee agreed with him.

"Very well, you may go, and good luck with your first mission as Anbu, Kiba," she said as the 4 darted out of the broken window.

Naruto, why did you quit? Tsunade wondered in thought while pulling out a sake bottle.

Ninja Academy.

Naruto, where the hell are you? Please don't take up Kakashi's late habits thought Iruka.

"Iruka-Sensei, when is our new sensei arriving?" asked a eager looking genin. The other 2 genin in the room asked as well.

"He should be here any minute, as ninja you must be patient!" Iruka replied.

"Sensei, you've been saying that for the past 3 hours," one of the genin said.

Iruka's eye began to twitch in annoyance at this, but was saved as Naruto smashed through the window and landed right in front of Iruka blocking him from the genin's view.

"Right so are you three waiting for the new sensei?" asked Naruto.

"Yes!" the three replied.

"Good! Meet me at training ground 3 ASAP!"

"Um ok," said the three genin as they left the room with disturbed looks on their faces.

"Naruto, USE THE DOOR NEXT TIME AND DON'T BLOCK ME OUT!" shouted an extremely pissed Iruka, but Naruto was already leaving out the window and leaving Iruka behind.

Next time I see him I'm gonna tie him down and force him to watch me eat miso ramen!

Training Ground 3.

Naruto lay hidden in the bushes as he saw his new genin team gather there, all looking impatient. After about 30 minutes he decided to go and join his team, and was greeted by a long stream of complaints.

"SENSEI YOUR LATE!!!!," all three of them whined

"Shut it, I was busy you see, I was hmm lets see……AH I was helping Tsunade baa-chan with the err filing!" finished an incredibley lame Naruto.

The 3 students stood in shock. The couldn't find what was more…shocking, their sensei calling the hokage 'baa-chan' or the fact that he just made up an incredibly lame excuse.

"Well, I don't really care about your personal life, I just need to know your names and what you specialize in," said Naruto.

The girl on the left spoke first.

"I'm Tanaka Misaki, I specialize in weaponry and am also interested in medical jutsu's." (a/n I'm keeping it Japanese format, eg. Last name 1st and 1st name 2nd) She had long dark blue hair and blue eyes, she wore a black vest and black ninja pants, with a lot of holsters and pockets for ninja equipment. She also had quite a pretty yet confident look.

"Hyuuga Izumi, taijutsu and doujutsu (eye techniques)" replied the 2nd genin. She had black short and messy hair and the mysterious hyuuga eyes. She wore a large grey coat and long grey pants, Naruto suspected the cloak was filled with various ninja weapons and scrolls. She had a deadly look about her.

"Hyuuga eh? Don't expect special treatment," said Naruto.

"I don't, I am a branch member," she replied coldly.

"Good, you next," he indicated to the last genin.

"I'M MOTO HIROSHI SIR! AND MY DREAM, NO MY AMBITION, NO MY-"

"I said just your name and what you specialize in," said an amused Naruto.

"I'M VERY SORRY SIR, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, I SPECIALISE IN NINJUTSU AND TAIJUTSU! BUT I WANT TO BE COME AN ALLRO -"

"Just be quiet."

"YES SIR," shouted a proud looking Hiroshi.

Hiroshi had grayish hair, which reminded Naruto of Kakashi, but had green eyes, and bore a look of great excitement. He wore a blue jacket and blue shorts. Both girls wore their forehead protector on their jacket sleeves, and Hiroshi wore his on his forehead.

Hmm no genjutsu users eh?

"Ok now that that's over with, lets see if you're going to become genin or not," said Naruto.

"WHAT!!!!" yelled Misaki and Hiroshi, Izumi just looked pissed.

"I hope ya didn't think that being able to make a bunshin (clone) would make you official ninja, that academy test was just to see if your worthy, I shall test you to see if you're good enough," Naruto said to the now horrified looking genins.

"W-WHAT ARE WE TESTED ON S-SIR?" yelled Hiroshi.

"Alright, that's the spirit!" grinned an evil looking Naruto, "I have two scrolls here, one earth and one heaven scroll, your first task is to be able to find the earth scroll somewhere in this training area, you must find it within an hour, I shall carry the heaven scroll with me, after one of you has the earth scroll you have 2 hours to try and get it off me," explained Naruto as he put the heaven scroll away in his pouch.

"Easy," said the Hyuuga.

"Oh yeah, also the one who doesn't have a scroll at the end fails, and has to return to the academy," continued Naruto, "AND don't forget to give your best, otherwise I can't be bothered with you and I'll head to Ichiraku ramen instead."

The three genin now looked worried at the thought of one of them failing.

"UNDERSTOOD SIR-SENSEI!" shouted Hiroshi, and the other two simply nodded.

"Alright I have already hidden the earth scroll, so go and find it."

The 3 genin looked surprised that he had already hidden the earth scroll, but then hurriedly went off to find the earth scroll. A guilty grin appeared on Naruto's face.

"I sorta stole the idea from the chunin exams, and Anko lent me the scrolls, so hopefully they won't open the earth scroll."

Oh well, now for some reading, Naruto thought as he pulled out Ero-sennin's make-out tactics book.

Ok that's the 1st chapter done, all reviews welcome! O and if I made an error with something other than spelling please tell me. Its much appreciated!
