Yo! ZnK here. One of you got pissed because I didn't let Scorpion teach him. You know why? Because Scorpion is from a clan that hates the Lin Kuei! He can't work with him! Naruto will fight him later on. Sensei will be...

Jiraiya and Kurenai! Jiraiya will be his permanent teacher while Kurenai will teach him Genjutsu on the side.

Pairings are still undecided. Harem is an option.

Raiden is kinda OOC.


Naruto discreetly got swallowed by the shadows, entering the shadow realm. From there he ran to the Hokages tower to see what he was doing. When he got there, he saw the Hokage sitting behind his desk, watching through his crystal ball with the jounin senseis.

"I can't find him anywhere!" the Hokage exclaimed while searching everywhere for Naruto who chuckled before appearing behind Sarutobi, looking over his shoulder.

"Didn't you know that it's impolite to spy Hokage-sama?" he asked scaring the shit out of everyone there.

"N-Naruto?! How did you get here?" Sarutobi asked Naruto who shrugged.

"I ran." he said making the people present sweatdrop.

"Oookay. So what are you here for?" Sarutobi asked.

"I know how you set your teams up. Raiden-sama told me. I came here to tell you that I will NOT be placed on the Uchihas team, fathers wish for me to become a ninja or not."

"So what do you propose I do then?" Sarutobi asked Naruto who shrugged once again.

"I don't know. Put me under a sensei alone. I know I can beat a jounin. I beat that green abomination who was heading out of the village with his team on my way here. He's a jounin right?" Naruto asked making everyone present go wide eyed.

"Y-You beat Maito Gai in a Taijutsu match?" Asuma asked and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah. So what? I'm really good at Taijutsu. The only thing I need to be taught is Gen- and Ninjutsu." Naruto said and the Hokage nodded.

"Very well. I'll see what I can do. By the way, here are the keys to your new house. The Namikaze compound is located next to the Hyuuga compound." he said and tossed a set of keys to Naruto who caught them and bowed.

"Arrigato Hokage-sama. Ja Ne." and with that he sank into his own shadow again. Once he was gone Sarutobi started rubbing his temples.

"I feel my migraine coming back."


Naruto was casually walking down the streets of Konoha, ignoring the hungry looks the females between ages 11-55 sent him when they looked at his lean muscles (He is built like Kung Lao from the movie MK3). 'I gotta eat something and then I'm finding Lao-sensei for training.' he thought and nodded to himself. He walked in to the Ichiraku Ramen stand and sat down.

The young woman working there just stood there looking at him with a blush until he cleared his throat.

"Um, excuse me?" he asked snapping the woman out of her trance.

"Oh! Sorry. Welcome to Ichiraku. I'm Ayame, What can I get you?" she asked with a kind smile.

"I'll have a large bowl of vegetable ramen. I'm Uzumaki Naruto by the way." Naruto said and shook hands with the woman who nodded.

"Nice to meet you Naruto-san. Your ramen will be ready shortly." she said before disappearing to the back of the stand.

When Naruto had finished eating, he closed his eyes and tried to find Laos life energy. Shujinko had taught him that ones life energy was like DNA, none was the same as another. He found Lao on top of the Hokage Monument gazing over the village. Naruto sneaked up behind him and said one word.

"Training." he told Lao who didn't even flinch.

"I know. But we need a place to train at." Lao said and Naruto started jingling his keys.

"We can go to my clan compound." Naruto said and Lao nodded.

"Take us there." he said and Naruto grabed his arm before turning them both into a gray mist.

They reanimated outside the Namikaze compound. Lao suddered.

"Woah. My skin is could but I'm really hot inside." he said and Naruto laughed.

"Yea, you never do get used to that." he said and walked to the back of the compound where there was a training ground.

"Ok! I'm gonna teach you what has been drilled into my head by Bo Rai Cho for the last six years." Lao said and started a brutal training session.

Later that evening Naruto was once again walking around in Konoha, trying to memorize every street in the village.

A shout of "Stop that dog!" was heard. Naruto turned around to see a very beautiful woman with red marks on her cheeks chasing a large wolf like dog together with another wolf like dog who onlt had one eye and one ear. Naruto stomped the ground infront of him. Freezing pretty much the whole street. The dog slipped and slided until he was stopped by Narutos foot. The woman ran up to them and bowed her head while panting slightly.

"Thank you for stopping him. As soon as he heard the word 'bath' he ran like a bat out of hell." she said and extended her hand. "I'm Inuzuka Tsume. You're that new kid that Kiba told me showed up in the academy right?" she asked Naruto who put his hand on his chin.

"Kiba... Did he have red marks on his cheeks like you and a small white dog?" he asked and Tsume nodded. "He's your son? I'd take you for his sister." he said making Tsume blush slightly. "Yes I met him. That loud mouth of his is gonna get him killed some day."

Tsume nodded after shaking off her blush. "That's what I've been telling him. Thank you again for stopping him." she said before she picked up the dog and walk away, talking to the dog. "It doesn't matter how much you struggle, you're still taking a bath!" she told the dog who howled in agony.

"You know that what you're thinking of right now is considered pedophilia right?" The one eyed dog Kuromaru asked Tsume who blushed once again.

"He doesn't look twelve. And did you see that body?" she asked as she shuddered in delight. "But if I can't have him then I will sure as hell hook him up with Hana so I can at least watch him."


Kurenai was sitting at a Dango shop with her best friend Anko talking about the new kid.

"He really doesn't look like he's twelve!" she told Anko who laughed.

"Pedophile." she said making a vein appear in in Kurenais forehead. "Though if he looks like you said he look, I wouldn't mind being called a pedophile."

"Anko! You're not thinking what I think are you?" Kurenai asked her friend who grinned.

"Of course I am! It's me we're talking about here remember? Plus, if he wants to, who am I to decline?" Anko asked while Kurenai sighed.


'What to do now?' Naruto thought as he walked down a lonely road at sunset. He was interuppted from his thoughts as he felt something bite him in the shoulder. He looked over to see what looked like the skull of a dragon stuck to a rope. He traced the rope to the end where it was stuck to a mans hand. Said man was wearing a black and yellow outfit that looked alot like the traditional Lin Kuei outfit.

"So you're the prodigy of the Lin Kuei clan. And you're not even Lin Kuei by blood!" the man said and Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"You must be Scorpion, leader of the Shirai Ryu clan. Sub-zero-sama told me about you. You killed Saibot-sensei." he stated and Scorpion chuckled.

"I see my reputation proceeds me. Now get over here!" he said and pulled the rope making Naruto fly towards his direction.

In the Hokage tower, Sarutobi was watching the whole thing, ready to intervene if things got out of hand with the jounin senseis.

Naruto flew through the air, straight towards Scorpion who was getting ready to uppercut Naruto into oblivion. Naruto grabbed the robe and pulled so he turned, flying towards Scorpion with his feet first. He slammed his feet into Scorpions chest and cut off the rope with his hat, killing the dragon skull thingy. He charged Scorpion with a flying back spin kick that was blocked. Once he was back on the ground he was met with a high kick to his face, sending him stumbling backwards.

"This isn't even a challenge." Scorpion said arrogantly and charged. He came at Naruto with a flurry of punches and kicks that almost all were blocked and countered. After a few minutes of trading punches and kicks they were standing a few feet away from eachother, panting. They charged eachother with a flying kick, both of which connected, sending them to the ground. Naruto managed to get up thanks to his freakish stamina.

"You're lucky I'm tired from training my ass off all day." Naruto said with a smirk. "Why are you doing this?"

"Shao Kahn promised that he'd revive my clan if I'd kill you." Scorpion said with a sigh, indicating that he had admitted defeat.

Naruto sighed to. "No man can resurrect the dead. Their souls have already passed on so if he could, he would still only be reanimating a mindless puppet. Just look at you. Your soul has been moved from your original body down to the Netherrealm. Could you go back to your original body?" he asked Scorpion who shook his head.

"Now that I think of it, no. Why didn't I think of that before?"

"Because of your love for your family. Once Shao Kahn said that he could resurrect them, that was all you could think of, you couldn't think straight." Naruto said and offered Scorpion a hand. "For example, didn't you make a vow to Sub-zero-sama that you'd protect him for killing his brother? You attacked him anyway." he said as Scorpion accepted the gesture of friendship. "Join me in my battle against Shao Kahn in three years and I will do everything in my power to reunite you with your family."

"But you said that no man can resurrect the dead." Scorpion said and Naruto smiled.

"They can't. But I'm not talking about resurrection. I'm talking about letting your tortured soul move on to the afterlife." he said making Scorpion bow.

"Arrigato. From here on out I swear my alliengence as your loyal follower." Scorpion told Naruto who pulled him to his feet.

"I'm in no need for followers. I'm in need for friends." he said and Scorpion nodded before turning to walk away.

"Then I will do everything I can to ensure your success as your friend. Maybe I can even train you." Scorpion said with a smile hidden behind his mask. "If you want."

Naruto smiled back. "It would be an honor to be trained by the leader of the Shirai Ryu." he said and Scorpion nodded before disappearing, but not before saying "Our training will begin in one week. Be prepared."

Naruto smiled before limping back home.


In the Hokage tower Sarutobi and the jounins watched in awe as the two skilled warriors danced their deadly dance. After the fight was over they heard a voice from behind them.

"It seems that he will be bringing peace to the realms instead of destroying them." Raiden said scaring the shit out of them just like Naruto had done.

"Holy hell! What is it with you people and sneaking up on allies?!" Sarutobi shouted making Raiden chuckle.

"I don't know. Maybe it's just the joy of hearing your hearts beat a thousand beats a minute." he said with a shrug. "Anyway, why haven't you given him the scrolls Sarutobi?"

"I was planning to do that tomorrow." Sarutobi said after taking a few calming breaths.

"Oh! In that case... Carry on!" Raiden said before vanishing, leaving a sweatdropping crowd behind.

"He's a strange fellow isn't he?" Sarutobi asked with a sigh.

"Not exactly what I would expect from a god." Kakashi said before pulling out his trusty Icha Icha.


The next day when Naruto woke up at 4 am he got up and started doing his morning exercises. 500 Sit-ups, 500 push-ups and 500 squats. Punching a log 500 times with each hand and kicking it 500 times with each leg. After that he put on his hat and started running 300 laps around the village. With 1000 pound weights on each arm and leg. Said weights were gravity seals since carrying around 4000 pounds of weight would put him through any floor he walked on.

He came to the academy at 8 am for his team announcment. 'I wonder if he took me seriously? Maybe he did after he saw my fight with Scorpion.' Naruto knew that the Sandaime had been watching the fight since his chakra had spiked when Scorpion attacked. When he got into the classrom he saw that alot of the girls in the class had switched fanclub and were now watching him with hearts in their eyes. 'Oh no.'

After sitting behind his desk, trying to ignore the predatory looks in the girls eyes for a while, Iruka came in.

"Alright kids, settle down." he said and held up a piece of paper. "I have your teams right here."

"Now, team 1... (Unimportant!) Team 7, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Sai. Team 8, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino. Team 9 is still in rotation. Team 10, Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Chouji. And last is Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto. You are a one man team under Jiraiya-sama of the sannin. He said for you to meet him by the hotsprings at 1 pm." Iruka said and Naruto nodded before turning into the gray mist again.


Five minutes later.

Naruto was sitting next to the hotsprings in meditation when he heard giggling coming from behind him. He turned around and saw a man wearing green clothes with a red vest over them and had spiky white hair. Naruto walked over to him and cleared his throat. "Jiraiya I presume?"

"Who wants to know?" Jiraiya asked as he continued giggling and scribbling on his notepad.

"Your new student." Naruto said making the pervert turn around and look at him.

"So you're Minatos kid huh?" he said and started walking away. "Come."

Jiraiya took Naruto to a bar where Jiraiya drank some sake. He tried to get Naruto to drink but he refused.

"So. Let's start with introductions. I'll start so you'll know what to do. I'm Jiraiya, the toad hermit. My likes are hot women and sake. My dislikes are traitors, guys and the pedophile Orochimaru. My hobbies are peeping and writing my books. My dream is to become the greatest author in the world!" he exclaimed making Naruto sweatdrop.

'Great. A true master pervert.' Naruto thought before shaking his head. "I'm Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto. My likes are my senseis, training and freezing things. My dislikes are traitors, rapists and most people from Outworld. My hobby is training and my dream is to fullfill my destiny and bring peace to all the realms."

"Ookay. we will begin our training tomorrow. Meet me at training area 44 tomorrow at 6 am." Jiraiya said before puffing away, leaving Naruto to pay for the alcohol.


Chapter 2 is complete! YOSH! Now some of you may think that Scorpion was a bit emotional and shit but I just wanted to get him over to the good side. I like him and that was the best way I could think of.

R&R!
