First Day At The Academy
A lavender eyed indigo haired girl was walking down the road towards the academy from the Hyuuga Clan Compound who was thinking about her change in attitude after meeting the blonde haired boy who helped to save improvement in the last four months was like a growth spurt improving in leaps and father had also started to help her further in the Jyuuken thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the same Naruto who saved her from a Jounin singlehandedly, who was wearing a black shirt with the Uzumaki sign in the middle and Orange half-pants.
"Hello Hinata-san may I sit next to you?"
"O-Ofcourse Naruto-san"
"Arigatou"
"Why didn't you come to meet me in the past months?"
"Ahh you see I was a bit busy and there was an interesting cave that I explored which had a lot of documents and scrolls and also I had to learn the awesome scrolls which were thrown in the trash by the clan compounds and the chuunin hopefuls"
"Ohh okay so umm why are you here in the academy?"
"Hokage-jiji hasn't allowed me to pass,I can easily pass the academy but I am to hide my true strength about troublesome council meetings...though how are you doing these days Hinata-san?"
"May I know why hide your true strength N-Naruto-k-kun?"
"A shinobi's strongest tool is deception Hinata-san"
"Hello Hinata-san,you didn't tell us you had an another friend"said a boy in a lazy tone who had his hands in his pockets
"Ahh sorry Shikamaru-san,but this is the second time we have met anyway this is Naruto Uzumaki and Naruto this is Shikamaru Nara and Chouji Akimichi"
"Nice to meet you Naruto!Hope we can be friends"said Shikamaru shaking his hands with Naruto
"Yes of course Nara-san,nice to meet you play shogi?"said Naruto while thinking'The best way to gain the attention of a Nara is to lay yourself down like a puzzle eh jiji?I did just 's see how much does he catches on' to which Shikamaru thought,'How the hell did he know that I liked is a lot more to this guy and the way he was dragging his hand means he has restricted himself with...weights or...seals hmmm interesting...might as well play along with him since it is too troublesome to find everything at once'
"Interesting Shougi How about today in the break?"
"Yes of course. I wanted a partner other than myself to play the way Nice to meet you too Chouji"
"Nice...munch...munch...to meet..munch munch you too"replied Chouji
"Where is the third one in your group?"
At this question Shikamaru knew he was a lot stronger than he let on but playing along with his game as he thought he asked "Umm third one?"
"Yeah Ino-Shika-Cho trio right?Or is it gonna break?"
"She is joining but..umm she has a small problem"
"Which is?"
At this moment,in order to introduce herself and her problem,a pink and a yellow blur could be seen rushing past everyone at top speed and quickly jumped on to their Sasuke-kun and then started fighting over who came first and continued bickering for the next 5 minutes as silence reigned on the others who were watching this scene with a huge sweatdrop.
The silence was broken by Shikamaru who told Naruto "The blonde is the Yamanaka"
"I uhh I see...fan-girl eh?...Shikamaru if you care for her show her the true path of a kunoichi or ask her to quit before she dies...well I shouldn't have said all that after all you are my new friends...class is about to start,don't forget the shougi match Shikamaru!"said Naruto not realising the event that made Hinata change her attitude to becoming a true kunoichi and how much she had improved greatly after that.
"It's alright what you said was true after all.I will talk to her later and see what happens but I don't think she will listen to me...and it will be too troublesome to do so...Oh and by the way Naruto-san...Asking a Nara not to forget a Shogi match is not required."replied Shikamaru while thinking 'he is right I don't want her to die perhaps if she doesn't change in a year Naruto will help me get rid of her fan-girl tendencies'
"Well seeya later"
"Hello class My name is Iruka Umino and I am your instructor at the academy and here is my assistant let's start the class."
Break Time
"Let's start Shikamaru"
"Hai"
A few moves later Shikamaru started sweating and went to his thinking pose which caused Chouji to drop his chip bag asking what happened by Hinata with an eager nod from the Aburame Chouji replied by saying no one of their age had forced Shikamaru to use his thinking pose yet.
Meanwhile Shikamaru was thinking 'Damn troublesome blonde he is smart as well as strong my worst enemy he is a troublesome blondes I haven't seen or guessed manuevers or tactics like those before,he plays as though he won't sacrifice any piece until he has no other choice plus he already took my four pawns,one bishop and one horse out while I could only take away his two damnit"
A While Later
"Checkmate"
"I want a rematch Naruto"
"Ofcourse Shikamaru but later I have a pran-...I mean some important stuff to do seeya later."
"What prank?"
"Do you all have some members in ANBU in your clan?"
"Yes" replied the four.
"Ask them what happened then"
Break time is over
"Where is Naruto?The break is already over by 5 minutes"asked iruka But before anyone could answer the door slid open and in entered a blonde haired boy saying,"Sorry I am late sensei I just had some work to do"
"Make sure it doesn't happen next time Naruto."
"Hai"
When Naruto sat at his chair between Hinata and Shikamaru he said one thing.."BOOM" and with a big smirk and a mischievious glint in his eyes,he sat look on Naruto's face sent shivers down the spines of Hinata,Shino,Choji,Iruka,and Shikamaru
Hokage Tower
"Hokage-sama the ANBU Tower has been attacked"
"By?"
"We don't know who did it but everyone has been painted in various colours Hokage sama and they are stinking"
"They were struck by?"
"Paint bombs inside seals Hokage-sama"
"Improve security measures and find out who did it!"said the Sandaime before thinking 'Why do I feel that Naruto has something to do with this shit'
"Hai Hokage sama"
Later That Day At The Hokage Tower
"Hello Naruto-kun how may I help you?"
"How did you like the paint-stink explosive notes?"
On hearing this Sarutobi blinked twice completely confused of what was happening and then asked,"How did you get in and get out?Those are my top ninja."
"Kage Bunshin,Henge that's how I got in and then puff of smoke!"
"I see so my ANBU cannot read through Henge,Do you hear that?"
"No my henge is different"
"Show it to me"
"Hai...Henge" doing a single one handed handsign which did not go unnoticed by the Sandaime
"So what is the difference?"
"I can touch you"
"Solid Henge" 'Must be because of the Kyuubi'thought the Sandaime and then said "This is an S Class Secret which will not leave the room got it?"
"Hai Hokage-sama"
"Umm not wanting to get off topic I was wondering if you wanted to buy the paint-stink bombs I made.I have 1 more which will help your hunter ninja a lot."
"Yes Naruto-kun,the seals will certainly be helpful in finding them easily preventing them from using tactical will get 40% of the price it is sold at."
"Ohh and I have a few more seals to show you but that can wait after I become a ninja"
A Year Later At The Hokage Tower
"I feel that a council meeting will be held soon and I wish to talk to the shinobi council only.I have a few interesting things to say"asked Naruto Uzumaki
"Interesting?"
"Hai"
"But you are still a civilian yet"
"I can drop my deadlast mask anytime you want jiji and I can also pass the Genin know that too jiji"
"I see who is it about?"
"Danzo Shimura,Orochimaru and the Uchiha Clan"
Hearing the two names told the sandaime that there was something that Naruto knew which he did not.
"Naruto tomorrow 8:00 am sharp you will be taking the Genin Exams in front of the whole council so you are only a Shinobi and I don't need to worry about the civilian council"
"Hai Hokage-sama"
Council Chambers
"Why has a council meeting called this early Hokage-sama?"asked a pink haired banshee named Saiyuri Haruno mother of Sakura
"Today young Naruto will be taking the Genin exams"On hearing this the whole civilian council burst out in outrage saying the demon-brat cannot have this privileged opportunity but Uchiha-sama must be given this a few minutes after the outrage calmed down Shikaku spoke.
"Are you sure Hokage-sama I mean he is only 7 and from what I hear he is the supposed dead-last of the class"asked a concerned Shikaku
"Supposed?"asked Danzo Shimura the head of the civilian council
"So nothing can leave the eyes of a Nara eh? him being the deadlast is just a show"
"Deception I see...my son called him a troublesome blonde...now I know why"
"How did you come to this conclusion Shikaku-san?"
"His tactics are ingenious he would definitely make a great kage someday."
"Ahh I see Shikaku-san you will be taking his exam"
"Hai Hokage-sama"
"Good he shall arrive in an hour till then let us discuss the other stuff"
One Hour Later
The council doors swung open and in entered a blonde boy with cerulean blue eyes but not of a 7 year old child but that of an experienced seasoned ninja,one that has experienced was the bright orange jumpsuit,which was now replaced by black pants black sandals a blue full-sleeve top,on the full sleeve top was a jacket filled with numerous pockets for scrolls, a kunai holster strapped to each face was neutral not showing any say the shinobi side were impressed would be an doubts about Naruto not being able to pass the Genin exams were easily removed.
"Good morning Hokage-sama I hope I am not late."
"N-No not at all Shikaku-san please start with the Genin exams."
"Hai Naruto-san could you tell me the skills you already know?"
"A shinobi doesn't give his secrets Shikaku-san but since you are in Hokage-sama's advisory council I think I can tell you a little bit.I am an assault type shinobi with good infiltration skills as well as a sensor type shinobi."
"So can you tell me how many members are there?"
"Yes Shikaku-san apart from the ones that you can see there are 8 more people lurching in the shadows."
"You are wrong Naruto-kun there are only 4 of my ANBU Members here"replied the Sandaime who did not notice the sweat floowing down Danzo's forehead.
"Ahh Hokage-sama I am sorry but..."Naruto immediately stopped talking with two kunai already in hand he flicked them on to the two sides of the Hokage with him himself making five clones of himself and each one immediately going shunshin to meet the other ANBU members hiding in the shadows,with one going for Shimura Danzo and immediately attacked a kunai to his jugular,with the normal Naruto was standing there with a lazy look with four ANBU members with swords and tantos at his vital body parts.
"What is the meaning of this Naruto-kun?"
"Sorry Hokage-sama I had to use you as a bait."..The smirk on Shikaku's face was enough for the Hokage to know that this was a well planned strategy.
"Hokage-sama please allow him to elaborate,don't give any judgement just yet I want to listen to his explanation."explained Shikaku now knowing full well about the troublsome blonde bastard.
"Very well explain Naruto"
"Thank you you can see I aimed two kunai at each side of you so that your trusted ANBU would come after me or protect you,while the other 4 would remain at their places so I could immobilise them with a shunshin as they would underestimate me and I had a fairly enough idea of the disbanded ROOT of Konoha,and the trickling sweat down Danzo's forehead when I said 8 was enough for me to know that the other members are of the unofficial ROOT.I apologise for doing so but it was the best course of action to have them caught."said Naruto as he pointed towards Danzo who had narrowed eyes.
"Sorry for doubting you Naruto-kun."
"I wouldn't do anything to harm Konoha after my family sacrificed itself in protecting Konoha."
"What family Hokage-sama?"asked a civilian councilman
"That is none of your will be revealed when he becomes kill the ROOT members and Danzo you will be having a long chat with me please continue"
"Right so Naruto-san mind telling me a bit about each one of us here in the shinobi side only tidbits of information will do."
"Hai starting from Hokage-sama full name Sarutobi Hiruzen,also known as the Professor,The Kami no shinobi,known to master all jutsus of Konoha other than clan jutsus,summoner of the Monkey clan,bojutsu user,a fire type user with second affinity Doton;

"Impressive How did you know the affinities Naruto-san?
"I am a good sensor Shikaku-san I don't need chakra paper to find out yours though I have problems finding out mine"
"now show me the academy three Naruto-san"
"hai"said Nauto and he quickly replaced himself with a civilian council member who had called himself a demon brst and then quickly did the henge and sat like seeing that his performance was seen, he quickly let go of the henge and flipped back to the centre hands still in his pockets the entire remembered that he still hadn't got the Bunshin down even after tree-walking,water-walking,and kunai spinning though he was halfway on the third exercise so he quickly raised a hand and said,"I cannot use the Bunshin can I use another type of Bunshin?"
"Ofcourse"
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" and immediately 10 Narutos were standing there grinning at the flabbergasted shinobi council.
"You pass Naruto-san."
"Congratulations on passing Naruto-kun you can start taking missions will meet your genin team in five days since they have gone for a i believe you had a few things to say?"
"Arigatou I request you that only you,Shikaku-san,Hiashi-san and the ANBU Commander stay here as it will be a matter of extreme importance."
"Okay Naruto-kun,the meeting is adjourned."
With that the other people who were not required scurried off and only the ones requested stayed,the Hokage added privacy seals and asked Naruto what did he want to say
"I have found one of Orochimaru's hideouts in the Forest of Death-"but before he could continue he was interrupted by the hokage while the other three had the same looks of curiosity and anger though one's couldn't be seen
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING THERE NARUTO?"
"Relax nothing serious,I was just collecting the leftover weapons from the dead chuunin hopefuls,and then I stumbled upon the hideout a few months ago and I started collecting all the scrolls I collected from trashcans,garbage;copied them them and kept them in there."
"Why tell us after a few months Naruto-kun?"
"Well I couldn't find a better place to hide and learn new techniques without letting people know and that was the safest place so.."
"Tell me your techniques and abilities now Naruto I need to know all of them."
"Well I guess I am at Genin level taijutsu at my resistance seal level 4 and gravity seal level 5,I use a mixture of the Hummingbird style and the Uzumaki style,as to how I knew it the notes are there I will show you everything,I am good at bojutsu-I have a good staff that expands and contracts with chakra as it is made from Chakra metals,I am fairly skilled in kenjutsu too,my ninjutsu is extremely limited-Kage Bunshin No Jutsu,Bunshin Daibakuha,Henge No Jutsu,Kawarimi No Jutsu,Shunshin no Jutsu,Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu,and Kunai Kage Bunshin No Jutsu;I am an extremely good sensor range as large as Konoha,I am at fuinjutsu level 3,chakra control exercises-tree walking,water walking,and halfway through kunai spinning,will be starting elemental manipulation today after getting a chakra paper from you and that's it"
"Impressive Naruto good skills but what have you found about Orochimaru's findings?"
"He has been studying notes on the Edo Tensei and his immortality just in great depths and had started to use living experiments as well as started working with Danzo ,who has infused Senju DNA in him almost similiar to the ANBU Commander's and I could sense multiple chakra signatures on his hidden right arm as well as the right eye and the chakra on the left part of his chest,sorry to get off topic but Orochimaru has somewhat succeeded in the immortality jutsu but he needs to change body after the one he uses is gone,he cannot transfer his soul to anyone who is without the cursed seal,Anko Mitarashi was an expendable pawn with the first prototype of the seal and if I remember correctly she is loyal to Konoha,I believe after reading so much about the cursed seal I can remove that seal if given a year or two's time."
"Impressive Naruto-san you have found out more than our spymaster could"replied Hiashi
"Indeed Naruto-kun so what do you think about Orochimaru?"
"Well I would love to kill him in a slow and painful way but if anyone wants to be immortal those notes would surely help,not that I like being immortal,and we could work on a prototype of the cursed seal as a source of chakra to help them in needs of trouble without having a part of my soul or the creator's soul in it."
"There is no need Naruto-kun"
"Alright just putting down options we could do not that I like doing all the gross stuff...Ewww...Ahem so sorry can I go for a few D-ranks now?..I need money for blank scrolls and ink for fuinjutsu practice,and groceries...do you have chakra paper jiji I have problems in finding I forgot to say,Orochimaru wanted Uchiha bodies and Danzo wanted the Sharingan eyes,so they were the ones that instigated the Uchiha clan for the Orochimaru will attack Konoha in a few years to gain control over Sasuke."
"Thank you for this information Naruto,it has been a lot of help to there anything else you would like to ask?.Apply a bit of chakra in the paper,if the paper splits then Wind,dampens then water,burns then Fire,crumbles then Lightning,turns to dust then Earth"
"Hai Arigatou jiji"said Naruto as he took the chakra paper from the Hokage and placed it between his fingers,channeled chakra into the paper and the result was a bit shocking for the three and one of excitement for the paper first split in half,dampening almost at the same time showing affinities for two affinities which was outstanding but what was more shocking that both were his Natural affinities.
"Well I have a lot of work to do,if you want to see the lair then come at the forest of death gate alone only you four and tell one of my kage bunshins of the time Bye jiji,Shikaku-san,ANBU-san, and please invite me to the next council meeting"
"Why?"
"Ahh Hokage-sama Danzo's cane is my Kage Bunshin"said Naruto before removing Danzo's cane from under the Hokage's chair.
"Impressive Naruto-san."said the ANBU Commander
"Ohh yes bye Naruto-kun"said the Hokage still trying to get over his shock at what happened here.
At The Mission Office
The door creaked open and in entered Naruto with his hitai-ite proudly resting on his forehead.
"Genin Naruto Uzumaki requesting for 10 D-Rank Missions"
"Here Naruto-san are you sure you can handle 10?"
"Ofcourse Chuunin-san I will be back by afternoon with the reports"
"Very well"said the chuunin as Naruto quickly left and the Chuunin stood up and went to meet the Hokage for clarification on what to do in such situations.
Outside The Mission Building
"Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" and quickly 30 blonde haired boys stood in attention in files of three
"Each of you take one mission and the mission must be done by afternoon with the report and give it to the Kage Bunshin here,if we want to give the Chuunin Exams soon we need to make it quick.I will be training with 150 clones in Training Ground 31"
"HAI"chorused all together when one of each file picked up a scroll,read it and quickly left in a Shunshin with his group.
At The Hokage Office
"Hokage-sama Genin Naruto Uzumaki asked for 10 Drank missions at once though I gave it to him today,what should I do next time?"
"When did he say that he would give in the report back?"
"He said by today afternoon Hokage-sama"
"Please allow him to do so if he comes by this afternoon and let himm take as many D-ranks as possible,thiis will allow Gennins to take low Crank missions,Chuunins to take only high C ranks and B ranks,Tobeketsu Jounin to take Branks and low A ranksand Jounins to take A rank and low S rank missions which are lonng overdue."
"Hai Hokage-sama"said the Chuunin as he left leaving the Hokage in thoughts of his surrogate grandson 'In this way I can make him enter the chuunin exams in Konoha in 15 months...Let me start inviting everyone...I must tell him to only train as I will be revealing his parentage on that day...might as well invite chuunin hopefuls from Kusa,Taki,Suna,and Kumo.'
Training Ground 31
"Well let me start training"muttered Naruto to himself as he quickly rested his hand on the famous cross fingered handsign
"Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu"
"10 groups of 15 1 Humming Bird taijutsu katas,Group 2 Uzumaki taijutsu katas,Group 3 bojutsu katas,Group 4 Kenjutsu katas,Group 5 Fuinjutsu level 4,Group 6 wind manipulation first step,Group 7 water manipulation first step,Group 8 kunai spinning exercise,Group 9 single handed seals and mastering known jutsu to the point required,5 clones of group 9 will work on collaboration jutsus,Group 10 will split in two groups and will find 2 wind jutsus and 2 water jutsus perfect for us and learn the handsigns and start mastering them till doing them with a single one handed handsign"
"Hai"
"Let's start"
"YATTA!"
