Naruto sat in the front row next to his only friend, Hinata. Iruka looked at the boy, he had let his sun colored hair grow long, it was messy and fell to his chin. He wore a black long coat, a mesh shirt red ninja pants and boots. On his back was a scythe, kit was eight feet tall, with a three foot long blade made of obsidian, with a silver dagger like knife pointed up from the staff of the scythe. Iruka shivered as he remembered the cold feeling of that obsidian blade against his throat.

Flash back

Iruka was making the students re do the transformation from the day before much to their chagrin; he noted though, that although Naruto, who had been unable to do it the day before, looked confident. And to Iruka's surprise, he did a perfect henge of himself.

"How?" Iruka asked. It wasn't something an academy student, even one with as much chakra as Naruto, could perfect over night.

"Kurama." Naruto replied softly. He had not been as loud and spontaneous as before.

"What?" Iruka's eyes widened in surprise, and fear, "how do you know about it?" Immediately Naruto's cerulean eyes darkened and a flash of black and silver passed over Iruka. He felt himself hit the wall hard, pinned by Naruto's scythe. The top part of the obsidian blade was pressed against his throat, cold as night; the silver dagger like blade at the top was deep in the wall. Naruto ignored the mixed cries of astonishment and reprimands from his classmates as he walked up to the terrified Iruka,

'Never insult Kura-hime like that. She's the only one who cares for me you bastard." Naruto snarled as he ripped the blade from the wall and returned to his seat.

End

Now Iruka looked at the boy, who had flunked every test and every homework assignment, but come out as the top rookie in the final exam. Who was Naruto Uzumaki?

Naruto sat staring at the wall, he could see the hole where he had pinned Iruka a year before. He shook his head, mortals were beneath his view.

"Yes Kit, you are better than that warthog. They all hurt you. They all hated you. One day, my Kit. You will conquer them all."

Naruto grinned at Kurama's words. He knew, he knew that the only one in this room that could match him was Hinata Hyuga, best in the Branch house of the Hyuga family. She had even surpassed Neji. Naruto in the last five years had taken on a more fox like appearance form his interactions with Kurama. His canines had grown into fangs, much longer and sharper than Kiba's. His once round pupils were stalactites in his dark obsidian eyes.

"Congratulations on becoming ninja of the Village Hidden in the leaves." Iruka began, "The teams are as follows, Team…" Naruto tuned out the teachers voice to draw in his notebook. "Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki will report to the Hokage tower for a special placement," Stated Iruka. The scar faced teacher watched as the two rose, stoic as ever, Hinata in a hooded black cape that swung behind her, and a full length violet body suit. The dark plum hilt of her katana showed from the edge of her cape. Iruka frowned; Naruto's black long coat had a new addition. A silver fox emblem on the back. He shook his head and watched as the two top students, once flunks left for the Hokage's tower.

Once the pair got there Naruto gave a fanged grin to his partner in crime, and she gave a sadistic grin back,

"We are going to purge this village from the world, aren't we, Naruto-kun?" Hinata hissed. She had been horribly treated by the head house; accused of weakness for saving her sister from her own fate, the seal had been used on her, too many times, by her own sister Hanabi, who was becoming crazed with her abilities skyrocketing. Hinata was done. She knew she could kill the young heiress with a glance, but she found it better to wait. She and Naruto would one day be known as Red Death, for the bloodshed and pain they would spread through the village. Naruto nodded and they entered the Hokage's office.

"What is it old man." Naruto growled.

"You and Miss Hinata, will be placed on a special team under Ibiki Morino, your team specializes in fear." The Sandaime replied, ignoring Naruto's blatant disrespect. The fox boy looked at Hinata who gave another Sadistic grin, which Naruto returned,

"Cool. I'm sure we are highly capable to that." He growled at the Hokage. The old man shuddered. He had once seen Minato in his son, but now, the warmth was gone from his eyes, unless he looked at the young Hyuga.

"I think I like these students." Ibiki smirked from behind them. Neither had sensed him, so they spun around immediately in defense mode, Naruto's scythe in hand, Hinata's obsidian katana held forth.

"Easy Kiddies. Don't skewer me yet. We will be meeting tomorrow for your first assessment by me. Practice your Justu, you will have to try and scare me." Naruto and Hinata looked at each other, and back to find Ibiki gone. Naruto shivered,

"Hinata." He whispered, 'I think we've found our match."

Bah humbug. I was rushed in writing this I'm so sorry its short. But hopefully Ibiki's test will be interesting! And hey you, with the flames. Yeah you. Shut the hell up. If you don't like it don't friggen read it yeh jerk
