Hey everybody Kdrevm is back with another chapter. I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter and will enjoy this chapter. ON WITH THE STORY!


Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning. ~Samuel Butler


Last night was a very hectic night for Naruto. He was attacked by a group of villagers and Shinobi. His new apartment and all of his new clothes were burnt down. And he had killed several people last night. The fact that he had actually killed someone came to him during the middle of the night. Strangely he felt no remorse but only satisfaction that he had defended himself. After a while, he thought nothing of it and went back to sleep.

But today was a very important day for Naruto. It was his first day at the Ninja Academy. Hiruzen had woken him up early and got him a new set of clothes. Now he was heading out towards the Ninja Academy. The villagers were still giving him dirty looks but right now Naruto didn't care. All he was thinking about was how awesome his classes were going to be.

After a ten-minute walk, he finally arrived at the Ninja Academy. It seemed like the teachers were not allowing anybody in yet. So every student and their parents were now waiting outside of the Academy. As soon as Naruto stepped onto the campus, everyone eyes landed on him.

Naruto stood nervously as hundreds of eyes seemed to try to pierce into his soul. Slowly Naruto could see the piercing eyes turn into disgusted sneers. It seemed like each one of the parents hated Naruto. Naruto slowly put his head down to avoid the stares.

After several seconds, one of the civilian parents decided to confront Naruto.

"What are you doing here Demon?" The civilian said.

"No matter what you do, no matter how much you help them, they will always hate you. In their eyes all they see is a demon. You are pathetic if you think you can change that." Kyuubi said in a mocking voice.

Naruto growled but quickly composed himself. He turned to civilian with a wide smile on his face that seemed to scream innocence.

"I came here to learn like your children." Naruto said.

"Don't act like you are like my children, you disgusting piece of trash." The civilian said.

Naruto clenched his fist in anger. He knew that he couldn't attack the civilians just because of insults.

"Who says you couldn't? If they insulted me, I would of tore through their bodies." Kyuubi said

"Look I just want to learn. Please leave me alone and return to your children." Naruto said.

The civilian kneeled down and came face to face with Naruto.

"Are you threatening me brat?" The civilian said while in Naruto's face.

Naruto got closer and squinted his eyes in anger.

"No I'm advising you to go back to your children before you embarrass yourself." Naruto said.

The civilian huffed and then reeled back his arm. He was about to punch Naruto but his arm was stopped by a ninja. The civilian looked back at the ninja and the ninja shook it's head at him. The civilian huffed again before lowering his arm. He shot Naruto a dirty look again before returning to his family.

Naruto decided to leave the man alone and waited for the teacher to address the students. For now he had to deal with the massive amount of dirty he was receiving from the parents of the students.

"I really hoped he punched you. I want to see you kill again." Kyuubi said.

After several minutes of pure agony for Naruto, the principal of the school came out to address the students and their parents.

"Hello everybody. Today is a wonderful day for Konoha. For today we shall start the education of another great generation of Konoha ninja." The Principal said.

A roar of cheer from both the parents and students rang through the village. It seemed like everybody was excited for the start of his or her ninja careers. The principal nodded at the obvious excitement.

"Well I wont keep you waiting anymore. Students file into the Academy. A genin will guide you to your assigned classroom." The principal said.

The students said their last goodbyes to their parents before running into the building. Naruto decided to wait for everybody to go in before going in himself.

After several minutes Naruto decided to go in. The lobby of the Academy was still filled with students. He could see several students his age going in a certain direction and decided to follow them. After going through what seemed to be a maze of hallways they finally arrived at their classroom. The genin guide led them in and closed the door when everybody was inside.

Waiting for them in the room was a teacher. The teacher seemed very young. He had pineapple shaped hair and a scar going across his nose. He had a gentle smile on his face.

"Hello everyone I am Iruka Umino but you can call me Iruka-Sensei or Umino-Sensei. I will be your teacher during your time at the Ninja Academy." Iruka said.

The class nodded and started to file into the seats. Naruto, using his advanced speed, managed to get the seat that was directly in the corner. Iruka made sure everybody was seated and started to go through role. Naruto decided to lay his head down until his name was called.

"Naruto Uzu..maki." Iruka said hesitantly.

"Looks like your teacher is another one of your haters." Kyuubi said.

Naruto raised his head and said here. When he raised his head he came eye to eye with Iruka. Naruto could see a lot of hate hidden in his eyes. Naruto sighed before laying his head back down. This was not going to be a very good experience for Naruto.

(Later that day)

Naruto barged into the Sarutobi clan home with his head down. He marched towards him appointed room and slammed the door behind him. He would not answer for anybody even Asuma.

(Hokage Tower)

Hiruzen was currently buried under the bane of all leaders: Paperwork. It seemed like he was getting a lot of complaints with Naruto going to the Academy this morning.

Suddenly Asuma barged into Hiruzen office. Now usually Hiruzen would be mad but he was currently in the need of a break.

"What's wrong Asuma-Kun?" Hiruzen said.

"When Naruto got home from the Academy today, he immediately locked himself in his room. I suspect something bad happened to him at the Academy today." Asuma said.

Hiruzen sighed and nodded. He had figured something would go wrong today.

"I understand. Leave him alone until I get home. Ill try to see if I can coax him out of his room." Hiruzen said.

Asuma nodded and then shunshined away. Hiruzen sighed and then got back to his paperwork.

(Couple hours later)

Hiruzen had finally left his office and was now on his way home. The whole time he was doing paperwork, he was also worrying about Naruto.

Hiruzen arrived at his house and walked through the doors. Asuma and his grandson Konohamaru immediately greeted him. He waved hello before going upstairs to Naruto. Hiruzen arrived at Naruto's room. He lightly knocked on the door. He got no response.

"Naruto-Kun it's me." Hiruzen said softly.

Hiruzen waited several seconds and then heard a click. He twisted the handle of the door and was in. He saw Naruto was sitting on his bed with his head down. Hiruzen sat on the bed next to Naruto.

"Naruto, what happened at the Academy?" Hiruzen asked.

Naruto remained quiet for a while before lifting his head.

"They kicked me out. As soon as the teacher saw me he kicked me out of the room. He said I didn't deserve to learn in his class. I wasn't even allowed to attend the first lesson." Naruto said.

"Stop bitching about it you fucking pussy. If they annoy you just kill them." Kyuubi said.

Hiruzen fist tightened to an extreme measure. He had assigned Iruka to teach Naruto because he thought he was able to get over his hatred for him. Obviously that did not happen.

"Its ok Naruto-Kun. Your teacher was just acting stupid. I promise it wont happen again." Hiruzen said.

"You say that but it will happen. These villagers hate me. One day the villagers will push me too gar and then.." Naruto stopped talking as sparks started to fly off him rapidly. Hiruzen placed his hand onto Naruto's shoulder to calm him. After several seconds Naruto calmed down.

"Naruto-Kun I will personally deal with your new teacher. I guarantee you that you will no longer get treated like that in the Academy again." Hiruzen said.

Naruto looked up at Hiruzen's eyes. He saw the honesty and truth in his eyes. Naruto nodded. When Hiruzen saw that Naruto was now Ok, he smiled.

"Good now go asleep. Imagine that tomorrow is your first day at the Academy." Hiruzen said.

Naruto jumped back into his bed and quickly fell asleep. Hopefully tomorrow was better for him. Hiruzen left the room and went to his at home office. He threw his hand up and two ANBU appeared in front of him.

"I want you to bring me Iruka Umino immediately. I don't care if he is asleep or having sex. I want him here NOW." Hiruzen said yelled with barely contained anger.

The two ANBU disappeared in a shunshin. After 5 minutes the two ANBU reappeared with Iruka in their grasp. He looked tired, confused and angry.

"Hokage-Sama, why did you summon me this late at night? Can't this wait until the morning?" Iruka asked groggily.

Hiruzen slowly stood up and seemed to glide towards Iruka. He looked at him for several seconds before suddenly thrusted his hand out and wrapped it around Iruka's neck. He then lifted Iruka by his neck.

"I warned you Umino, I fucking warned you. Yet you didn't believe me. I said you were to treat him regularly like the other children yet you didn't do it. I should kill you for you ignorance." Hiruzen said angrily.

Iruka hands were flying up to Hiruzen's. He was trying to peel Hiruzen's hands off his neck. Unfortunately it was a desperate and worthless attempt. Hiruzen was just too strong and too angry to let go right now.

"Unfortunately you are the only teacher that can change their ways. So for now I will allow you to live. But if you dare go against my orders again and do something to hurt Naruto, I will wipe you existence from this planet." Hiruzen said.

Hiruzen loosened his grip and Iruka fell to the floor in a coughing and shivering pile of flesh. Hiruzen looked down onto with disgust.

"Get him out my office and return him to his house. Make sure to remind him that he still has to teach tomorrow." Hiruzen said.

The ANBU nodded and then grabbed Iruka. They then disappeared in a shunshin. Hiruzen sighed and then returned to bed. Sometimes being the Hokage required a little tough "love".

(Next day)

Naruto awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and excited for his "first" day at the Academy. He was hoping that his teacher wouldn't be such an asshole this time.

After having a hearty breakfast and saying goodbye to Asuma and Hiruzen, Naruto took off to the Academy. As usual he had to deal with the constant glares and harsh whispers from the villagers. But Naruto paid no attention to the villagers and continued his journey to the Academy. After several minutes he arrived at the Academy.

Naruto walked into the classroom and took his seat in the corner of the room. He was the first to arrive so he decided to lay his head down.

After about ten minutes the first of the students started to trickle into the room. By now Naruto had fallen asleep, so he paid no attention to his fellow students. If he had been awake he would of noticed that the arriving students seemed to be trying to avoid sitting next to him. It seemed that their parents heard that Naruto was in their class and told them to avoid him.

After 10 more minutes the remaining students filed into the room. Naruto woke up from his little nap to see Iruka walking into the room. As soon as Iruka saw Naruto, his face tightened. His smile became forced and his stance became defensive. Luckily for him he was able to play it off because if he didn't, the ANBU outside of the Academy would of capture him and kill him.

Iruka took a seat at the desk and started to take role. When he got to Naruto's name, he gave a small pause before forcing out the name. Naruto gave a weak "Here". After that Iruka continued to role with no problems. After taking role Iruka started the class.

"Ok class the first thing we will start going over is the history of Konoha. If you would please turn to page 5 in your history book." Iruka said.

All of the class let out a groan but still took out their textbooks. As soon as Naruto saw the page of the textbook he knew today was going to be very boring.

"Kami kill me now." Naruto thought to himself.

"I'll gladly do it for her." Kyuubi said.

(Mid-Day Lunch break)

Students filed out the Academy, excited to be able to take a break and meet up with their new friends. Naruto was also excited to have the opportunity to meet some new friends. Naruto saw two girls playing alone and decided to try and talk to them.

Sakura Haruno had never been a very popular girl. She would usually stay in the house to try to avoid talking to other children. But today she met her new friend Ino and that all changed. Ino had made Sakura more talkative and open to new people. But now they were both playing in the field during their recess.

Naruto slowly walked up to the two girls. He lightly tapped Sakura on her shoulder. She turned around in surprise to see a blonde hair boy standing behind her nervously. She smiled and waved at him.

"Hello my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I was wondering if you wanted to play with me?" Naruto said.

Sakura's face fell when she heard Naruto's name. Her mother had told her that he was a Demon and was the reason her brother and uncle had died.

"Uh, No. My mother said you were a Demon and I shouldn't play with you." Sakura said.

"Tch, What a childish excuse. This girl is going to grow up weak if she idly believes everything her parents say." Kyuubi suggested.

Naruto face fell but then returned to normal when he remembered Ino was still there. He turned to her but his face fell again when he saw the expression on her face. It was a look of disgust. Naruto turned around with tears in his eyes and saw that his entire class seemed to be looking at him with disgust and mistrust in his eyes. When Naruto saw this he dashed away, crying. As soon as he ran away, the bell rung signaling that recess was over. The students filed back into the room and not a thought was given to Naruto.

(With Naruto)

Naruto was running through the forest with his fist in his eyes. He was really upset that all of his classmates hated him like their parents. Naruto ran through the forest blindly in an attempt to put as much distance from him and his classmates.

Naruto ran through the forest dodging trees and jumping over log. Naruto jumped over a log and landed on the ground. Or he would have landed on the ground if it weren't a pit hole. Naruto fell into the hole screaming.

Naruto fell onto the ground with a loud thump. He groaned as he got up. Naruto faced the pit hole and tried to climb his way back up. Unfortunately the slope was too slippery to climb up. Naruto tried to use chakra to stick to the slope but the slope was not responding to his chakra. He groaned and decided to explore the cave.

Naruto slowly walked into the cave with his senses raised. He had to make sure to avoid any traps or enemy. Naruto continued to travel further and further into the cave.

After a half of hour of exploring, Naruto entered into a cavern. The cavern contained a podium with a large scroll on it. The walls were littered with hanging plants and bloody claw marks on it.

"Don't open that scroll." Kyuubi suddenly said.

Naruto seemed confused at Kyuubi's sudden speech but decided to go against the beast's order. Naruto walked up to the scroll and took it off of the podium. The podium suddenly started to shake as the entrance was suddenly blocked by a large amount of rock.

Blades started to swing from the ceiling in an attempt to kill Naruto. Naruto dropped the scroll and dropped the his body unto the floor. The blades swung useless above Naruto. Suddenly the floor started to open under him. Fire started to spew out of the opening. Naruto pushed himself off the ground and onto the wall. The fire started to melt the hanging blades.

After 5 minutes the flames stopped. The room stopped shaking. Naruto sighed in relief and went over and picked up the scroll. He opened and saw that the scroll was blank. The top of the scroll was decorated with two pure black cat-like creatures.

The top of the contract held instruction telling Naruto how to sign it and the hand signs that go with it.

Naruto sighed and then took out a Kunai and sliced his finger. He then spelled his name out in his blood. Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared around Naruto and the scroll. The smoke cleared seconds later and nothing seemed to have changed.

Naruto searched around his body to find a difference. Naruto looked at his arm and gasped at the new ordainment. A tattoo of the cat-like creature that ran the length of his arm was now on his arm. The creature had his mouth open and seemed to be in a pouncing position.

Naruto looked back at the scroll to see what he needed to do. Naruto went through the hand signs and then slammed his hands onto the ground. A human sized puff of smoke appeared next to him. Naruto heard some loud growling coming from the smoke. Suddenly the creature that was on his arm pounced out of the smoke. Naruto managed to dodge the creature, only due to his training.

The creature landed and growled at Naruto. It pounced once again at Naruto. Naruto ducked under it and managed to land a punch the creature in the stomach. The creature slammed into the ground in a heap of black fur. Naruto stood panting. He slowly started to walk to the downed creature. He kneeled down and touched it. It suddenly sprang up and faced Naruto. But instead of the snarling and angry face that Naruto had faced seconds ago, the creature now had a smiling face.

" Hello young Cub. I would like to inform you that you have just passed the Panther clan summoning test." The newly named panther said.

Naruto looked confused at the panther part. He had never heard of a panther and that they had a clan.

"This is the panther clan. They are a summoning clan. Summons are usual animal or animalistic like beings that are to be used by summoners Ex. You. The Panther clan had they land taken away by the Toad clan. They were supposedly wiped out but I am guessing that they weren't." Kyuubi said.

Naruto nodded in understatement. He looked at the panter with questioning eyes.

"Umm where are we and why did you attack me?" Naruto said.

The Pant remained and seemed to skulk towards Naruto. Naruto could see the strong muscles rippling under the smooth black skin.

"This is the tomb of our summoning contract. When the Toad clan took over our land, they slaughtered hundreds of us. We were forced into hiding. But that was hundreds of years ago. The panthers have been training and been growing in number. We have also been slowly taking back our land under the guise of a new summoning clan. I attacked you to test you. If you had died then I would of knew you were weak and not worthy. But since you survived our traps and managed to land a hit on me I knew that you were worthy." The panther said.

Naruto nodded at the new information. It was a lot to take in at such a young age but he was still able to process it.

"Um so I guess I am your new summoner. So uh what's your name?" Naruto asked.

The panther sat down on its leg and looked at Naruto.

"My name is Mayonaka young cub. What is your name?" The newly named Mayonaka asked.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said.

Mayonaka nodded.

"Well Naruto-san, I have to go for now. From now on I am your familiar. Summon me if you would like to talk or need me to battle. Also when you have enough chakra try to summon the boss. I would also advise you to not tell anyone about this experience. I have a feeling few would believe you." Mayonaka said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Naruto stood looking at the puff of smoke in shock. He was still trying to get over the shock that he was now a summoner.

"Fucking panthers. Of all the summons in the world, it had to be the fucking panthers. Sometimes I think Kami just enjoys punishing me. What did I do Kami to deserve this?" Kyuubi said.

Naruto laughed at Kyuubi's distress and then collected himself.

Naruto picked up the summoning scroll and sealed it into a storage seal. He then began to backtrack his way through the cave and arrived at the pit hole. But something weird had happened. It seemed like a ladder seemed to be carved out of the earth. It allowed Naruto to gain a foothold and climb out. Naruto climbed out of the cave and started to navigate his way back to the Academy. If he had ever doubled back to the hole, he would of noticed that it was no longer there. No matter deep he would of dug or how hard he might of looked, Naruto would never be able to find the hole again.

(10 Minutes Later)

Iruka was in the middle of teaching his class. The first thing he noticed when they got back was that Naruto was now gone. He didn't know whether the ANBU took him away or was he just lost. All in all, Iruka really didn't care.

Suddenly the door opened slowly. Naruto walked into the classroom. His shirt and pants were torn in several places. His right arm was wrapped completely.

"Naruto! Where were you?" Iruka asked with fake concern.

Naruto shot a glare at Iruka and then walked up to his chair in the corner. As soon as he sat down the children that were directly next to him changed seats. Naruto sighed before laying his head down. Iruka decided to continue the lesson whether or not Naruto was paying attention.

(After the Academy)

Naruto had finally managed to escape the Academy. It was official for him. He officially hated the Academy. He thought it was going to a fun place where he learned to become a better ninja and meet new friends. But instead it was a place where the teachers hated him; they learnt boring material and all of his classmates avoided him like the plague.

Naruto was currently walking through the park to clear his mind. He saw several of his classmates playing with their friends and their parents watching fre putom afar. When the parents saw Naruto, they shot him dirty looks. Naruto decided now to make trouble and walked out of the park.

Naruto was now currently walking through the streets of Konoha. He could see children playing with their parents, old friends talking with each other, and people just generally enjoying their selves. But when Naruto got into their sights everything changed. Their smiles would turn cold and they would turn defensive. They would start glaring at him. This did not make Naruto sad anymore. It mostly made him pissed. He knew why the villagers hated him and he thought it was a very stupid reason. He knew that he wasn't the Kyuubi so why didn't they know.

Naruto walked through the streets of Konoha with his mind lost in his thoughts. After 10 minutes he realized that he had actually arrived at his old apartment. It was left alone. Naruto decided to try and explore his apartment.

Naruto walked up the burnt and crumbling stairs. The door was still open so Naruto walked right through. Naruto looked around his apartment. Burnt remains of his pictures hung from the wall. His bed was now a pile of ashes. Naruto sighed at the sight of his old apartment.

"I cannot allow this to happen again." Naruto said.

"You have a summoning contract you retard, fucking use it." Kyuubi said.

Naruto blinked owlishly at the surprisingly good idea and decided to go with it. He put on his training gear and suddenly rushed out of the apartment and dashed into the forest. The villagers looked confused as they saw a blur shot out of Naruto's apartment.

Naruto ran into the forest avoiding the random tree or fallen log. Finally he arrived in a clearing that was relatively far from the village. He then bit his finger and went through the hand signs required for summoning. Naruto slammed his hand on the ground and a seal array appeared on the ground. A puff of smoke surrounded Naruto. The puff of smoke cleared to reveal Mayonaka.

"Naruto-san. I did not expect you to summon me so soon." Mayonaka said.

Naruto ran up to Mayonaka and suddenly bowed to her.

"Mayonaka, will you please train me in the ways of the panther clan?' Naruto asked desperately.

Mayonaka was taken back by the sudden question. She had never expected Naruto to ask for training at such a young age. But inwardly she smirked. This was her chance to mold the perfect summoner for the panthers clan.

"Are you sure you can handle our training Naruto? Pantehrs are very proud animals and will not accept a week summoner. Mayonaka said.

"I CAN DO IT. Please I can do it. I don't care how hard the training is, I can handle it. I just want to be strong." Naruto said.

Mayonaka heard the conviction in Naruto's voice and smirked. She had found the perfect summoner. Now all she needed to do was to mold him.

"Ok. I will train you in the ways of the panther clan." Mayonaka said.

Naruto grinned. But what he didn't know was that Mayonaka was about to put him through some hellish training.

"Now the first thing you need to know is how pantherss hunt. We are stealthy and strong. We strike when our opponent least expect it. We are unseen. When we strike we only strike once because all we need is one strike to kill." Mayonaka said.

"You need to learn how to use your stealth. You need to be able to hunt your prey without them knowing. You need to be able to kill in one strike. You need to be quick, strong and quiet." Mayonaka said.

Naruto nodded in understatement.

"Unfortunately we cannot work on your strength because of your young age. But we can work on your speed and stealth. You are to run around the village without being. If you are seen than you will have to run another lap. I will be following. NOW GO!" Mayonaka said.

Naruto suddenly took off running back to the village. This was going to be a terrible experience for him.

(5 Hours later)

Naruto sluggishly returned to the clearing he was originally in. He was forced to run 7 laps around the village. The first 3 laps Naruto was spotted immediately. After that it took about half the lap for him to be spotted. On the seventh lap, Naruto remained unspotted.

Naruto lay down on the forest floor tired. Mayonaka skulked back into the forest clearing again with a smirk on her face.

"You did good Naruto-san. I expected you to have more laps. It seems your stealth and speed is actually pretty good. Of course they are not up to Jaguar standard but are still good." Mayonaka said.

"This is the end of your training. Return back here tomorrow once your finished your daily activities." Mayonaka said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Naruto sighed and then picked himself up from the ground. He then started to trudge his way back into the village. By this time, it was night and the only ones that were still in the streets were partying civilians and ninjas.

Naruto managed to get back to the Sarutobi complex. He managed to sneak into his room. He groggily took off his clothes and collapsed in bed. He was asleep before his head even hit the pillow.
