Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any other copyrighter characters that may be mentioned in this story.
Five in the morning the next day we find Naruto jumping across the roofs of Konoha speeding toward the empty training ground that he used.
"Man today is going to be great I can just feel it."
Naruto jumped through the trees and landed. The early morning seemed quiet until he heard a loud snore behind him. Naruto turned to see Sasuke slumped against a tree snoring like a bear. Naruto's eye twitched as he snuck up on a still snoring loudly.
"Even asleep he looks stuck up. Damn duck ass. Hm I should fix that for him"
Naruto pulled out a kunai he got from old man Hokage. Well old man Hokage's desk. What he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. Naruto proceeded to give Sasuke a long overdue haircut. When he was done Naruto stepped back and looked at his handy work. Instead of standing up Sasuke's hair hung down and was an inch shorter. The front of his hair hung to the sides of his head in two short bangs while the back was pulled into a short pony tail. Naruto couldn't believe Sasuke actually slept through all of it.
"Definitely not an early bird" Naruto thought.
As Sasuke started to stir Naruto leapt onto a branch above to watch the fire works. Sasuke opened his eyes to look around for Naruto being there yet. He swept his bangs out of the way of his eyes so he could see.
"Damn bangs in my way. Wait I don't have bangs." Sasuke grabbed the hair in front of his eyes.
"NAARRUUTTOOOOO!"
Sasuke shook with fury as he looked around for the blonde culprit. Naruto couldn't control his laughter as he fell out of the tree laughing his butt off as Sasuke glared at him. Naruto finally calmed down a bit and looked at Sasuke.
"Heh heh calm down Sasuke it looks much cooler now." Sasuke just continued glaring.
"Uh ok time to train um 3 laps around the village should do it till we get you up to pace."Naruto said flinching under the constant stare. Suddenly Sasuke launched at Naruto with roundhouse that Naruto barely ducked. Well more like fell on his ass under it.
"Ok then sparring first." Naruto shouted getting back to his feet just in time to block a fist to his face. Sasuke was throwing everything he had at Naruto, which wasn't much considering his lack of training. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's fist and flipped over Sasuke and used his right foot to axe kick Sasuke in the back of the head driving him to the ground. Naruto rolled forward behind Sasuke and turned around before standing picked himself up off the ground groaning and held his head. Sasuke couldn't believe this dobe was getting the better of him. His face was contorted in anger as he pulled out two kunai that he held in a reverse grip as he started to charge Naruto. For all of his training Naruto couldn't make himself move seeing Sasuke coming with the kunai. He thought Sasuke was going to kill him as a shout of Dainamikku-Entori (Dynamic Entry) echoed through the area. Sasuke for his part was barely registering what he was doing as he charged Naruto let alone have any awareness. A gray blur flew out of the tree line impacting on Sasuke sending him flopping across the open area. Naruto was still in shock too scared to move.
"Naruto-san. NARUTO-SAN are you ok?"
Naruto shook from his fright and noticed his partner in crime Rock Lee snapping his fingers in front of his face.
"Huh Lee what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"I HAVE COME TO JOIN YOU IN OUR DAILY TRAINING. I HAPPENED UPON YOUR ATTACKER ACTING MOST UN-YOUTHFUL!" Lee. Naruto plugged his ears.
"Ugh to early, to loud" Naruto said.
"Lee-kun what did we say about that I know you want to be like Guy but ninjas learn to be unique. Be unique."
"Hai I am sorry Naruto-san sometimes I just forget. At least I didn't follow his look." Lee said.
Naruto nodded it was true. Lee was working to overcome his obsessed admiration of Maito Guy. He was calming down, and not overworking him self. His look was even different as Naruto stopped lee from cutting his hair and overgrowing his eyebrows. Lee was now dressed in baggy camo shinobi pants with a green sash tied around it. He still wore a spandex top but a darker green than Guy's with no sleeves and a pair black fingerless gloves. He had a pair of black metal tonfa attached to his pants by chakra enhanced velcro.
"We should probably check on Sasuke now if you've gotten better with that kick since last time he's probably got a headache." Naruto said sighing.
"I fear I've gotten nowhere with that kick is meant to break bones if he only has an headache." Lee said sadly.
Looking at each other with mixed expressions. Naruto's of shock and worry Lee of sadness and disappointment in his-self. They ran over to Sasuke still lying on the ground moaning in discomfort. After Naruto checked him out to see if he was ok he concluded that he was fine just bruised. Sasuke eventually got up after an hour.
"Ah my fucking head" muttered looking around. Naruto and Lee were nowhere to be seen until a loud yell cut through the air.
"Who I win again my rival" Lee yelled bursting through the trees landing and skidding across the ground. A second later Naruto followed Lees entrance but somersaulted and dived into the ground seemingly disappearing into it. Lee looked as if this was all common as Sasuke looked around bewildered.
"WHAT THE FUCK." He screamed.
"Oh Uchiha-san you are awake. I take it you have never seen Naruto do this. He was been working on it for some time. It is quite remarkable."
"Thanks Lee" said a voice next to Sasuke's ear.
Sasuke whipped his head around to see Naruto crouched behind him almost glowing blue.
"Don't ask about it I'll tell you later." Naruto said as Sasuke opened his mouth. Naruto pulled Sasuke up.
"Ok first thing you need to do is read these scrolls on taijutsu and pick a cool style. Yes I know you Uchiha have your own style but you need a back up incase a ninja knows how to beat it. After all you're a very well known clan." Said Naruto as he pulled out seven scrolls and handed them to Sasuke.
"After you pick one you'll be practicing with Lee and I. We'll be running laps and doing practices for when we enter the ninja academy. Lee is a year ahead of us so well be on our own eventually. If we do well Itachi Nii-san said he'd teach us a few things." Naruto said with determination in his voice."
Sasuke slowly nodded and started examining the scrolls for styles. He eventually picked one called Phoenix Tiger, which involved fluid offensive attacks that could be combined with his fire chakra manipulation when he graduated the academy. He started practicing the katas in the scroll following the step-by-step instructions until he had them memorized. For the next weeks that was how they trained running laps and practicing jutsu's. Soon Itachi started showing them weapon styles and how to throw kunai and such. At the beginning of their second year of training was when their lives were thrown in to turmoil as the Uchiha massacre happened.
