A/N: Wow, this is amazing; I never thought that I would get so many views. Over 50 some faves, 40 some subs and like 11 reviews! You guys are awesome! Now, some of you have asked for a harem (and I don't mind letting Naruto have one, just not too big), so I will probably make a poll either after this chapter or next chapter deciding who the girls are. What I need from you guys is a list of female characters from the MAIN Naruto series, no movie/filler arcs etc. I will be taking the top 3, not including Anko. (4 Girls with Anko). Second, I MAY take a stab at writing lemons, but as of right now I know I'm not good enough. At this point, I need someone, preferably with some experience in writing lemons, to volunteer for this position. I would only ask this person to write two, maybe three lemons as an example so that I can get a feel for it and write my own.
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME WRITE LEMONS, I WILL MAKE CHANGES TO IT SO THAT IT WILL FIT THE STORY. I WILL GIVE CREDITS, BUT DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF WHAT YOU READ IS VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU WROTE.
That's all for now, thank you!

Chapter 2: Return to the Leaf and...Academy Test?
Konohagakure no Sato
Front Gates
It was a scorching hot day in Konoha, even though it wasn't summer yet, and Izumo and Kotetsu were, as always, on guard detail. They sat in the shade of the booth, avoiding the waves radiating from the sun. Yet, try as they might, avoiding the heat was another problem.
"Man, I'm bored." Izumo stated, fanning himself with his hands. Turning his head, he sweat dropped at the sight of his partner Kotetsu sleeping. "OI! Wake up! We're supposed to be on guard duty!" His friend, in his sleep, gave a snort as a reply. Izumo sighed. He decided to take some action. Standing up, walking to the other side of the booth, a savage grin came upon his face. Leaning over Kotetsu, he raised both his hands high in the air. Taking in a deep breath, he slammed both hands down on the table, one on each side of Kotetsu's head, while screaming at the top of his lungs. "WAKE THE FUCK UP!"
It suffices to say that Kotetsu was not amused; he was not sporting a bruise at the back of his head. Yet at the same time, Izumo was sporting a fractured nose. 'Why?' you might ask? Well, since Kotetsu was so startled, his head shot straight up...with Izumo leaning directly over his head, something bad was bound to happen. The back of Kotetsu's head impacted against Izumo's face. HARD.
"What the hell man! You couldn't let me sleep?" An irate Kotetsu yelled at his friend.
"We're supposed to be guarding the gate, not sleeping." Izumo answered coolly.
Kotetsu twitched. "IT'S NOT LIKE WE DO ANYTHING ANYWAYS!"
It was at this scene that a young man, looking about seventeen years old, walked through the gates completely ignoring the pair arguing. This young man was standing at 191cm. (Approx. 6'3). He wore a black cloak that went down to his ankles. The hood of the cloak covered any facial features, save the mouth. On the back of the cloak, a red swirl showed that the man was either an Uzumaki or from Uzushiogakure. Underneath the cloak, he wore the standard Uzushio uniform without any armour. (Cloak is Akatsuki cloak but with a hood and no clouds.) He seemed to float forwards like a ghost, not making a sound as he moved. Almost making through the gate, he stopped when he heard a voice call out from beside him.
"Hey! You need to show us your papers before you can go in!" Izumo shouted, running up to the mysterious man.
The man turned around to face the chunin. He reached into his cloak, and with a poof, a scroll signifying his identification came out. He handed the papers to the surprised chunin. 'Weird, I couldn't sense any chakra from that seal. Come to think of it, I can't sense this guy's chakra at all! It's like he's not even in front of me.' As Izumo took the papers, he tried to look at the man's face through the hood, but no matter how he looked he still couldn't see his eyes or face, just the man's mouth. Izumo looked down at the papers and started inspecting them. Kotetsu, finally getting off his lazy ass, walking op to Izumo to stand beside him, he yawned.
"Anything wrong?" Kotetsu asked his friend.
"Uh...everything seems to be fine...at least on paper." Izumo said as he closely scrutinized the scroll in front of him.
"Can I see that?" Kotetsu asked, though he was already taking the scroll out of Izumo's hands.
"Hmm...it says here that your name is Uzumaki...Naru...to..."Kotetsu blinked a few times, rereading the name over and over. It seemed very familiar to him for some reason. Izumo on the other hand looked very surprised. He stared at this...giant in front of him, not believing this man in front of him was the kid that left Konoha ten years ago. After all, the kid loved to prank others and was very outspoken. This man in front of him was reserved. He carried an air about him like a Hyuga, like a noble, but with without the arrogance that usually came with the title. Just then, Kotetsu's mind clicked, he had remembered who Naruto was, and came the intelligent reply. "WHUUUUUUUUT?" His mouth hung slightly open, eyes wide. He looked up from the scroll to Naruto, then back at the scroll, and back at Naruto. This happened a few times until he fainted on the spot.
Naruto chuckled a little. "Yo Izumo-san. How are ya!" His voice although deeper, was still cheery.
"Uh...hi Naruto-kun. You've...you've grown so TALL!" Izumo literally had to tilt his head up to look Naruto in the eyes...or where his eyes should be.
"Hehe, yeah. Hey, I need to go talk to Hokage-jiji. Think I can get my ID back?"
"Yeah sure, here you go." Izumo handed Naruto the scroll, who rolled it up and sealed it back into...his cloak somewhere.
Walking off, Naruto picked up his speed when he was a good distance away. Izumo stood there in shock, the full weight of the situation had not sunk in yet. His friend Kotetsu however...fell asleep on the ground. He would not wake up until much, MUCH later. He would later find out that he was left laying there on the ground for close to six hours.
Hokage Tower
Naruto walked up the stairs to the office, the secretary below waved him in, knowing that the Hokage was probably slacking off and reading that orange book of his. As Naruto came upon the doors to the office, he heard giggling inside. 'What is that?' He leaned into the door and heard more giggling. "Oh Misako, you naughty naughty girl." Naruto twitched. He knocked on the door very loudly, hoping that the Hokage would at least put his book away before letting him enter. This time he heard a fumbling of papers, what sounded like many objects falling onto the ground, then he heard a loud thump and curses soon followed afterwards. Naruto sweat dropped, wondering what was going on until he heard the clearing of a throat. "Come in."
Opening the doors, Naruto silently shuffled into the room. Closing the door behind him, he turned to face the aged kage.
"How may I help you young man?" the Kage asked.
"Well, you can start off by giving me a hug after ten years. Or have you forgotten who I am already?" Naruto fake sniffled a little at the end.
"Uh...I don't believe we have met." Sarutobi eyed the man in front of him suspiciously.
"You really forgot me old man? HOW COULD YOU!" Naruto crossed his arms across his chest, a pout on his face. Even though the Hokage knew the man in front of him was just joking around, it wouldn't do for a Kage to be disrespected.
"You know you are talking to the Hokage right? You should show some respect." Sarutobi said sternly, yet in a somewhat kind tone.
"Sighs, you really are getting old, old man. It's me, Naruto." And with that, Naruto pulled the hood down from his head. A mane of blonde hair flopped out. His face unmarred by the whisker marks that used to be there. If one saw him right now, they would think that the Fourth came back to life.
Sarutobi just sat there, gaping like a fish. "Wh-wha-wha-wha-WHUUUUUT?" And he fainted.
"OH COME ON! NOT AGAIN!" Naruto wanted to pull his hair out in frustration.
15 Minutes Later
One Fully Resuscitated Hokage Later
"It's been a while Naruto-kun. You've grown so tall." Sarutobi smiled and looked proudly at his adoptive grandson.
"Yeah, ten years, I learned everything I could possibly learn from Hisashi-jiji. He even told me that my training was finished three years ago and that I should travel the shinobi nations to learn the other skills that shinobi need to know. Mainly gen-tai- and kenjutsu. I can create my own ninjutsu given enough time, so you won't have to worry about that. Kage bunshins are great like that. And so I travelled the nations for three years. I found two most peculiar styles of taijutsu, and I've learned kenjutsu from a few ex-swordsmen of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist." Sarutobi's eyes widened at that point. He had heard about the rebellion in Kirigakure, and he also knew of the history of the Seven Swordsmen. To be able to be taught in kenjutsu by the best, how strong had Naruto become?
"So anyways, the last few months, I just wandered around the nations with nothing to do. That is, until I came into contact with the Kyubi for the first time." Sarutobi had a little sliver of fear and doubt in his heart now. That night ten years ago, he had straightened out the council. He also told them of Naruto's full heritage. Needless to say, that caused a huge fuss over what would happen to Naruto. Sarutobi had told them that Naruto was going on a ten year training trip with his biological grandfather. He then told them that the matter would be continued when Naruto came back and forbade them from telling anyone about Naruto's heritage until he was ready. But now that Naruto had met the Kyubi personally, would he hate the village?
"I hate this village." Sarutobi's world came crashing down. But before he could breakdown and cry, Naruto kept talking. "It's too hot during the summers and too cold during the winters! The weather is just too troublesome." Sarutobi's mindhad just registered what happened.
"Eh?" was his intelligent reply.
"At least in Uzushio, the temperatures were moderate, because we were surrounded by the sea. Here? You've got nothing in terms of temperature control." Naruto stated. Sarutobi let go a sigh of relief. For a second he thought Naruto would try to destroy this village. Shaking himself out of his stupor, he asked a question this time.
"So Naruto, could you tell me more on what happened when you met the Kyubi?"
"Yeah I would, but isn't today graduation day? Can you just let me go and get the tests over with?" Naruto pleaded with his old man.
Sarutobi sighed again. "Fine, however, after the tests you come straight to me to tell me about what happened. Deal?" Sarutobi proposed.
"Deal." Naruto answered happily. Quickly taking out a small slip of paper and scribbling on it, he handed it to Naruto. Naruto, who took the note and read it, looked at the Hokage as if he was five. "Uh... no offence, but your handwriting sucks."
Sarutobi twitched. That was a blow to his pride. Over seventy years old, and here he was being lectured by a teen about his handwriting. "JUST GO!" He yelled.
"Okay, okay. Sheesh. No need to get your panties in a bunch." Naruto jumped out the window and headed towards the academy. Where ever that was.
Sarutobi sighed again. Then he noticed something. 'Why couldn't I sense his chakra at all?'
30 Minutes Later
Naruto had already circled the village three times, yet he still couldn't find the academy. "ARGH! WHERE THE HELL IS IT?" He yelled to the sky.
"Where is what?" a girl giggled.
Naruto looked at the girl in front of him. Blinked a few times. Then flushed in embarrassment.
"Hehe, I'm looking for the ninja academy, do you know where it is?"
"Silly, you're right in front of it!" The girl pointed behind him. Naruto turned around and saw a huge building with the words "ACADEMY" in big bold letters above the gate. He slapped his forehead. 'HOW COULD I MISS SUCH AN OBVIOUS SIGN?'
"Thank you miss." Naruto bowed to the girl
"No problem." She said before she went her own way.
Naruto turned back around and walked through the gates.
Inside the Academy
Naruto walked down the halls. '206, 206, 206, where are you? Let's see... 315? How the hell did I get on the third floor?' Naruto then quickly found a staircase and went down a floor. 'Ah, let's see... 206...THATAWAY!' Naruto quickly ran off down the halls.
Classroom
The chattering of the classroom was overpowering the voice of Iruka.
"SHUT UP" Iruka yelled at the class. (Yes, it is classified as demonic speech when Iruka yells at his class to shut up.) The whole class quieted down, visibly cowed by the overpowering sakki (Killing Energy/Intent) leaking from Iruka. Iruka sighed, then took a deep breath, about to speak when 'KNOCK KNOCK' he was cut off by someone knocking on the door. He sighed again, walking up to the door and opening it, he was surprised to see a teen the same age as his class hand him a note. He took the note and read it over two times to make sure that he was reading it correctly. He sighed again, 'Why did I have to take this job?' he asked himself.
Turning to the class Iruka addressed them, "Students, we have a new student here to take the genin tests with you all. He was recommended by the Hokage himself. He has been trained by his clan for ten years outside the village. Please show respect to him." As Iruka finished, he ushered Naruto in.
Now standing at the front of the class, Naruto pulled his hood down. This action caused to things, some girls to gasp at how handsome he looked, and the instant formation of a fanclub. Bowing, Naruto introduced himself, "Good morning everyone, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. Nice to meet you all." As he finished, a silence fell over the class. If one could listen closely enough, they would be able to hear a soft 'troublesome' muttered by a certain Nara.
Sasuke, deciding to make himself known as the superior, voiced his opinions. "Dobe, what kind of loser clan did you come from?" Naruto merely raised an eyebrow at his rudeness.
"Have you not heard of the Uzumaki clan?" Naruto asked, wondering if they were teaching the proper history to the students.
"What kind of no-name clan is that?" Sasuke asked again. His fangirls thought he was really cool for some reason.
Naruto merely chuckled. "The Uzumaki clan was a feared clan amongst all the shinobi nations."
"Then why haven't I heard of them?" The Uchiha thought he had Naruto trapped now. Yet Naruto didn't seem fazed at all. A 'troublesome' was heard again. Naruto decided to call out the Nara this time.
"Hey you! The Nara that keeps saying troublesome!" Naruto called out.
Shikamaru looked at Naruto and raised an eyebrow as if answering 'yes?'
"You seem to have heard of the Uzumaki clan; care to explain to your ignorant classmates?" Naruto jabbed at everyone who had looks of confusion.
Shikamaru sighed, "The Uzumaki clan was a clan feared by all before and especially after the First Shinobi World War. So much in fact that in the Second Shinobi World War, Iwa, Ame, and Suna decided than rather attack Konoha, they would first launch an allied strike against Uzushiogakure, the hidden village founded by the Uzumaki Clan. That would eventually spell its demise, but even now, those who remember what happened in the Second War, and those who know enough about history know not to mess with an Uzumaki in any matter."
Sasuke looked furious at the fact that this no-name clan had outshone the Uchiha name throughout history. But then he noticed Shikamaru didn't say anything about their abilities. Smirking, he decided he would find a weakness by the end of today. "Oh? And what did they specialize in? Ninjutsu like the Uchiha? Taijutsu like the Hyuga? Maybe Genjutsu? Or even Kenjutsu? We all know that Gen-tai-and kenjutsu are inferior in many ways to ninjutsu." Sasuke smirked thinking he had won.
"While that may be true, the Uzumaki clan didn't specialize in any of those paths. They specialized in the art of Fuinjutsu." Shikamaru drawled out. Sasuke's smirk seemed to grow even wider.
"Fuinjutsu? What can they do with that? Seal their enemies away?" Sasuke and his followers laughed.
Naruto just stood there, eyebrow still raised, looking on in an amused fashion. He decided to cut in.
"While sealing scrolls may come in handy, that's not all seals can do." Naruto informed the class.
"Oh? And what else can seals do?" Sasuke taunted.
"Oh, many things. In fact, if I wanted, I could make a seal right now that can suck the soul out of your body and store it into a seal for further usage." Naruto said in an all too cheery tone which creeped out the other students. Sasuke turned pale white. Iruka, deciding it was enough started the test.
"Okay, that's enough. Pick a seat Naruto-san, we'll be starting the test now." Iruka said.
The written test was not too hard. A little bit on history, and a lot on the sciences. Chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and some situational problems that they may run into as ninja were tested upon. After the test was over, Iruka set about collecting the tests, while Mizuki went out to test the students on thrown weapons accuracy. As Iruka picked up Naruto's test, he was shocked that he got all answers correct. He also absently noted that Naruto's handwriting was very beautiful. Likely from years of writing seals.
While outside, Mizuki called the genin up one by one to throw their kunai and shuriken.
"Hyuga Hinata, please step up." The timid girl went up and took out ten kunai. She threw them one at a time, seven of which hit dead centre; others were off by a few inches.
"Seven out of ten, not bad. Next, Shikamaru Nara."
The lazy boy got up, threw his kunai and got six out of ten.
"Akimichi, Chouji." Mizuki called out.
The plump boy got up and walked to the throwing line. Taking out his kunai, he threw them. Also a seven out of ten.
"Next, Yamanaka Ino."
Ino got up from Sasuke's left side, and threw her kunai. Five out of ten hit dead centre.
"Inuzuka Kiba."
The dog boy stood up. He was energized as ever and ran to the throwing line. He took out ten kunai and threw them all at once. Four of them hit dead centre. Six of the ten touched the target. Mizuki sighed. And this continued for a long time until.
"Haruno Sakura."
The pink haired girl got up; her frail legs seemed to barely support her weight. As she took out her kunais Ino was on the sidelines calling her names. She then got into position and threw them one by one, and got the same score Ino did. Five out of ten. Naruto sighed. 'Disgrace to ninja everywhere and especially to kunoichi.' He thought as he shook his head.
"Uchiha Sasuke." Mizuki called out. Sasuke's fangirls squealed. Sasuke himself got up with an air of supreme confidence and arrogance.
"Just watch how an Uchiha does things dobe." Sasuke stated. Naruto only looked on in disinterest. Taking out ten kunais, Sasuke launched them all at once and they all hit dead centre. Sasuke 'hmph-ed' as he walked past Naruto.
"And finally, Uzumaki Naruto." Mizuki said with a little too much malice in his voice. Naruto noticed this and decided to be wary around him. As Naruto took out ten kunai, he coiled his muscles and got ready to throw. He released all ten at once and they all hit dead centre. A perfect score, Naruto smirked.
"Looks like I tied with you Uchiha-san." Naruto stated. Sasuke was livid, how could someone come in and just steal his thunder like that?
After the tests were over, and scores were recorded, the students and Mizuki went to a training field with Iruka standing there waiting for them.
"Okay students, this is the taijutsu portion of the exam. We will be pitting you against each other. We will assess you on how you fight and your tactics during fighting. Winning and losing are only bonuses understood?" Iruka explained.
"Hai" everyone chorused.
"Okay then, first off..."
After many uninteresting fights, it came down to the last two, Naruto and Sasuke.
"Last round, Uzumaki Naruto vs. Uchiha Sasuke." Iruka called out.
The two walked into the ring drawn on the ground.
"Same rules, no jutsu or chakra. Pure taijutsu, got it?"
"Understood" replied Naruto.
"Just get on with it" came from Sasuke.
Iruka could only shake his head. "BEGIN!"
As soon as that word was said, Naruto dropped into a very loose stance. It seemed to be full of openings, so Sasuke charged him. As he went in for the punch, Naruto leaned in, put his hands infront of Naruto's chest, made a grabbing motion and leaned back, pulling his hands back into his chest as if he was pulling Sasuke to the ground. Sasuke got confused by the motion and tripped over himself and fell. Naruto only chuckled.
"Too much for you Sasuke-chan?" Naruto taunted. Sasuke's anger flared.
"RAAAWR!" came a battle cry from Sasuke. He charged with a kunai in his hand. As he made a stabbing motion, Naruto stepped out of the way, grabbed his wrist and knocked the knife out with his other hand. He then proceeded to bend the arm in weird angles, causing Sasuke to twist and turn until he was on the ground with Naruto's heel hovering above his head.
"Sensei, if I stomp right now, his skull will be crushed and he will die. Please call the winner." Naruto calmly said to Iruka.
"R-right. Winner: Uzumaki Naruto!"
The other students stared at Naruto in awe. He just defeated the great Uchiha in single combat! Of course, the fangirls were calling for his blood, saying he cheated. As the class shuffled back into the classroom for the last portion of the exams, Sasuke lay there wondering how the blonde got so strong and how he would gain that power so he can kill his brother.
In the Classroom
"Okay class, now we will commence the ninjutsu portion of the exams. Please get back into your seats while I call you up one by one to be tested." Iruka said. The students all sat back down, chatting with their friends. Naruto sat down beside Shikamaru, who started to drift off to sleep. Naruto sighed at the Nara's antics.
"Hey, my name's Naruto, what's yours?" Naruto introduced.
Shikamaru sighed, "Troublesome. Shikamaru." There was a pregnant pause. "So, that seal that you said that can suck souls out. Is it real?" Shikamaru asked, interested.
Naruto only smirked, "Not as of yet, but I have an idea on it already. Rather than just sealing your soul, I could just seal your whole body, or I could create a seal that separates your chakra from your body, and seal your chakra away, effectively drawing your soul out with you." Shikamaru's eyes twitched. Though he didn't fully understand seals, he knew they were powerful, just not this powerful.
"Troublesome." Naruto only chuckled.
As each student got called up one by one, many came out with their headbands and a few had come out crying. Naruto just sat in his seat, looking out the window, enjoying the sun. He was about to fall asleep when he heard his name called.
"Uzumaki Naruto, come in for your test." Mizuki grit his teeth, directing his hate and sakki at Naruto. Naruto just shrugged it off and kept walking. As he entered the room, he saw Iruka behind a desk with a stack of papers beside him. Mizuki sat off to the side.
"Okay Naruto, would you please do a Henge for us please?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at this. 'The academy grades on such low level jutsu?' Shrugging, he performed the hand seals and poof.
"Henge no Jutsu." Naruto said, barely above a whisper. He transformed his look into the Sandaime. Iruka looked impressed, there didn't seem to be anything off about his henge. Mizuki looked a little angry.
"Next, please perform the Kawarimi please." Iruka said as he finished up grading his Henge and looked up.
With the next few hand seals, another poof, and in his place was Mizuki's pants. Iruka looked over to his left, and sure enough, Mizuki was pantless and Naruto was standing behind him. Mizuki tried his best to cover up his red polka dot on white boxers. He scowled at Naruto, ran over to get his pants, and put them back on. Now Iruka was really impressed, but at the same time amused. Impressed at the fact that he could take of Mizuki's pants without the victim noticing, and amused that the rumours regarding that he was a master prankster came true.
With a sigh, Iruka continued the test, "Lastly, would you please perform the Bunshin please?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at this. 'A normal bunshin?' deciding to voice his thoughts.
"A normal bunshin?" Naruto asked incredulously.
"Yes, without it you can't graduate." Iruka informed him.
"Why doesn't the academy teach something more useful? Like Mizu Bunshin?" Naruto asked. Iruka could only sigh.
"Because the students may not have enough chakra." Iruka replied. Naruto shrugged.
Performing the hand seals, two perfect Bunshins appeared beside him. Iruka inspected both bunshins and poked them. His hand went right through. Nodding, Iruka wrote down the marks on his paper. He took a black headband and handed it to Naruto.
"Congratulations Genin Uzumaki." Iruka smiled. Naruto reached out with both his hands and accepted the headband with a bow.
"Thank you Iruka-sensei." Naruto tied the headband over his forehead, lifting the blonde tufts of hair that covered his face. With a grin Naruto walked out behind Iruka, with Mizuki scowling at Naruto behind his back.
"Congratulations to those that passed, and for those that didn't, there's always next year. Now, please come back on Monday to find out who your teammates are and who your sensei is. Dismissed." With that ,Iruka walked out the classroom with an angry Mizuki in tow. Naruto got up from his seat and walked away. 'Gotta get some ramen, then talk to the old man about my trip.'
A/N: I know, this chapter may be very boring, just gotta get a few things over with first before we just jump right into the action. Working on the third chapter now. So please, give me some ideas for girls in the harem. Then I will have a poll on who to take. Remember, only those from story arcs, no fillers or movie girls. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I know I did while writing it! Later!
