Chapter 2

Naruto woke up in morning weak and tired and thought about he was going to do today, " I should go to library today and see what they have there about shinobi, I should also go to the hokage tower and ask how I will get this stipend ji-sama talked about". As naruto thought about this things he was on his way to the kitchen, when he reached the kitchen and soaked a pack of instant ramen and ate it, Naruto when to bathroom took a bath, wore his new clothes and headed out into the village. The villagers as Naruto was headed out ,quickly shifted out of the way sneering that the demon was contaminating the streets but Naruto did not mind them this time and headed to library, when he reached the library he entered the first door for civilians, as he entered he saw the librarians she said ," where is your library card boy" and Naruto said, "I am sorry libriarian-san I don't have one. The librarian wanted to refuse him and turn him away but then she thought to herself, "Maybe the demon will see something dangerous, he will try it out and die". After having these dangerous thoughts the librarian gave him a form to fill with his name and his age, after this she gave him his library card.

Naruto entered the library and looked for what he could find on shinobi, he saw fantasy books , history books and many other types of books about shinobi. Naruto pick up a history book and started reading , he did not know but reading this book was going to shape his destiny.

"shinobi are people who learn ro manipulate chakra and use it do great things like strengthen their bodies, heal injuries, cast illusions and many other things but their origin started long ago, I have gone to places far and wide looking for this origin and I have many answers, some of them say that shinobi were created by kami to protect the world, others say that that they originated from a mutation in nature but the most concrete answer I have is a story.

The story says long ago wars were rampant on the earth and the death of humans every day was immense, so a princess of a far away kingdom decided to do something about it. This princess searched far and wide for an answer but she found nothing, one day she was passing a town and she heard about a tree whose fruit no one was supposed to eat from, she was surprised and went near the tree, she saw the fruit looked delicious and decided to take one bite from the fruit, as she bit the fruit the villagers saw her and they were not happy so she quickly fled so as not to be killed. A few days after she ran away she realised that she had began to develop strange features, she did think too much of this and she slept but when she woke up she saw that she developed horns and she now had third eye of all things. She felt very powerful and had knowledge of the power she had gained. so she decided that with this power she had gain she would subjugate the world and if they refused to be ruled by one supreme ruler she would destroy them but her plans came to a halt when she became pregnant for priest she had met in a temple in the last village she had passed, after nine months she gave birth to a boy named hagoromo, this boy was incredibly powerful and inherited two of her most powerful eyes. Three years after hagoromo was born the princess gave birth to another son and she named this one hamura and he inherited her third eye, he inherited her third eye but not much is known about him only that his descendants are the ninja clan called hyuuga. When Hagoromo grew up he began to spread to teachings about chakra against his mothers wishes. Hagoromo thought that wars could be stopped by people linking themselves with chakra and understanding each others thoughts while his mother thought that power was the only way forward and this difference in opinion lead to many arguments and after some time they drifted apart, Hagoromo continued his teachings while his mother was worshiped as a god. Sometime after this happened the princess said she wanted to take back chakra from the world and she turned Into a beast with ten tails and attacked the world, she was blocked by her two sons Hamura and Hagoromo who was now known as the Rikodu sennin (sage of the six paths ). They fought and the two brothers came out victorious. Hagoromo with his immense power separated the ten tails chakra into nine beings of chakra who were made in the likeness of animals and sealed it's body into a construct he made and levitated it into the sky. The beasts which Hagoromo separated viewed him as their father, Hagoromo gave birth to two sons the first he name Indra while the second he named Asura. Hagoromo gave his younger son the elder son's birth right and it was conflict began. Hagoromo fell ill and died, after he died his followers neglected his teachings and destroyed the link binding them together they made chakra into weapons of mass destruction and fought against each other."

Naruto after reading the history of chakra realised that the day was getting dark and that he had to go and see the Hokage about his monthly stipend. Naruto moved towards the tower swiftly and entered once he had arrived he entered the Hokage's office and greeted the hokage calmly the Hokage said , "Naruto why are you here" and Naruto said, "ji-san I just wanted to know how would be getting the monthly stipend you told me about ",the Sarutobi said "Naruto do not worry your stipend will be delivered personally by me, in fact the hokage showed him this is your stipend for this month spend it wisely. After collecting his stipend Naruto returned to the library check out some books after all a smart ninja is a strong ninja or so he thought. Naruto checked out "Famous shinobi in history" and "The geography of the elemental nations, he also wanted to pick up some books from the ninja side but the librarian said he was not a ninja or an academy student so he was not allowed to take any books from that section. Naruto went home but not before hearing the librarian say that he should return the books he carried in one week or else he would pay for them.

(A week later)

Naruto returned to the library to return the books, when he got there he signed the return and left the library. Immediately Naruto left the library, he saw smoke coming from his apartment complex and since he was the only one living there because no one wanted to live with the "Demon child" it was his house that was burning ,looking for the source of the fire he saw that his stove was on so he quickly turned off the stove and went to sit on his couch.

After several hours of siting down and doing nothing, Naruto remembered that in the book about famous shinobi , he observed that powerful ninja meditate regularly so he crossed his legs and tried to meditate, after several minutes Naruto realized that he did not know how to meditate and made a mental note to pick up a book on meditation the next time he went to the library. "Next week I will be starting the shinobi academy and I do not have any training like the clan children, maybe I should see what jiji can do about that". Naruto went to the Hokage tower after eating some onigiri and asked the Hokage what should do could do, Sarutobi gave Naruto a book and told him to practice the stances and forms inside before the academy resumes.

(Shinobi academy resumption day)

Naruto went to the academy hoping that all the training he had done the week before would pay off and that the clan children would not have to big of an advantage over, Naruto went to his assigned class and sat down in the last row and waited for the sensei to come.

Iruka entered the class with a smiling face looking at all the children in the academy until his gaze landed on naruto, he started the lesson not at all happy to be teaching the demon child.

(After the academy)

Naruto went to the library to look for some books that would be use full to his education since he was now an academy student more books were open to him, Naruto went to the section open to academy students and picked some books that looked like they had never seen the light of day he picked "chakra and it's uses", "calligraphy for dummies" and "Basic forms and stances". Naruto checked the books for information and found that they were a gold mine of information but the exerciseswere really tough. Naruto began to train every day after school with these books and after a full month of training all his hard work was showing results so he just kept training.

(Three years later)

Naruto was in one of the academy training grounds at the back of the Hokage tower, he was practicing his shuriken techniques from the new book he had gotten from the Hokage. The Hokage started giving Naruto advanced materials because he found out that Naruto was progreesing very quickly through the academy curriculum but Naruto refused to graduate early, he said "a shinobi's greatest weapon is deception". It turns out Naruto's wish for the clan children not to be ahead of him didn't come through but he was leagues above most of them now because of their unserious attitude.

Naruto left the training grounds and went to his favourite food shop, it was a bean cake restaurant, it was so delicious according to him and it's sweet taste was only contested by his second favourite which was ramen noodles from ichiraku ramen shop.

(Naruto pov)

'Sir can I get two servings of beans cake" Naruto said to the man serving at that time, he did not have as good of a relationship with these people as he did with the ichiraku's but he ate the beans cake quickly and rushed home to get enough rest for the academy graduation test the next day

Naruto went to the academy and felt he was ready for the test, his banshee like classmates Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno entered the class as usual and fought each other for the right sit next to Sasuke Uchiha the new heir and the sole member of the Uchiha clan in konoha, not that they were much of a clan as only two members remained and only one was loyal to Konoha, the rest of the students came in quietly. Naruto was quite a loner in the academy and didn't associate with his classmates on a regular bases.

The test began and Iruka Umino decided to start the taijutsu test since they had done a paper test days ago. The Hokage decided that this year the genin hopefuls would fight among themselves to graduate. Iruka read out the pairings of the fights to the students.

Aki yoshima vs Momori Hamura

Shikamaru Nara vs Shino Aburame

Choji Amakichi vs Kiba Inuzuka

Naruto Uzumaki vs Hinata Hyuuga

Sasuke Uchiha vs Ino yamanaka

Shido kagura vs Sakura haruno

There were so few placements because the Hokage had removed all the students who had no hope from the program.

So the first match began between Aki and Momori began and it wasn't that interesting watch, they just threw kunai and shuriken at each other before they both passed out on the floor.

Naruto pov

The previous match was not interesting at all, I hope the next matches will be more exciting.

General pov

The next match had began and it seems that Kiba was dominating Choji. "you can't win Choji " kiba said as he settled into his clan stance, Choji with limited control over his chakra could not use his clan expansion techniques, he was fighting with the academy taijutsu style mixed with some street brawling skills but that was not enough to defeat someone whose clan strength lied in taijutsu, Kiba was getting desperate because his stamina was depleting rapidly and Choji hits hurt like hell so with a burst of speed he appeared behind Choji and used an axe kick to hit him out of the ring.

The match between Shikamaru and Shino was shifted since he wanted to carry Choji to the hospital for his bruises and Shino agreed with him.

Naruto and Hinata began their match with Hinata coming towards him with a juken strike with speed that was quite fast for an academy student. Naruto did not want to reveal his taijutsu skills to the academy examiners, so he quickly deflected her hand from the wrists, he jumped back to put some space between them, Naruto wanted to finish this quickly so he as she came close he swept her off her feet and hit her with a knockout punch.

The reaction to Naruto against a Hyuga was priceless but he didn't stay to look at their bug eyed expression he just went back to the waiting area without a word.

Sasuke's match against ino ended very quickly with ino getting defeated as one kick sent her flying out of the circle.

Sakura and Shido's match ended with both of the falling unconscious from the strain of fighting.

Shikamaru refused to fight stating that his taijutsu skill were not good enough to win so there was no point in fighting.

The taijutsu part was over and the ninjutsu potion of the exam began,the students were called in one after the other, Naruto was called in after eight other applicants and was told to do the three academy ninjutsu and for extra credit he could do another jutsu of his choice, he began by doing the mizu bunshin technique, he then substituted with a chair in the room when a kunai was thrown at him and then transformed into the sandaime Hokage, he was given his headband which was in colour black.

Naruto went to his apartment planning what his was going to do now that he was a ninja
