AN:Thanks to everyone that showed this story support, I really can't belive how much you guys like my first fic and I can't wait to do more.
Six samurai of dragon order: I might be able to do a gun but I kinda want to only use weapons in the Naruto universe. A bow and arrow is very close to what I have in mind which you'll see this chapter.
HjLastDream: I like some of the things you suggested and I'm definitely doing one of them. I also agree that for a story told in the world of ninja it's definitely alot lighter then it should be.
Narutofan8762: No, I really wanted to do a story were he doesn't learn it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
-Academy Building Konoha-
The classroom was full of young graduates, some talking to their friends about how cool it was that they were finally ninja, some sat nervous about the future had in store for them, and some just sat quietly not felling the need to talk.
All activity stopped when the door opened revealing our favorite blond haired Jinchuuriki, however instead of his trademark orange jumpsuit Naruto wore a dark black seelveless t-shirt with the leaf symbol in blood red on the front, with that he also wore camouflage shorts that stopped at his knees. His new apperince left many shocked and one girl blushing like crazy. Shikamaru Nara, a boy with pineapple shaped hair and a bored look on his face was the first to snap out of it and asked the question on everyones mind.
"What are you doing here Naruto, this room is for graduates only?" Shikamaru asked, confused by the blond's appreciate.
"Well hello to you to Shikamaru, and to answer your question let's just say that I took a make-up exam of sorts." Naruto said pointing at his headband.
With that said Shikamaru shrugged and layed his head down, muttering something about 'troublesome blonds'. Naruto seeing that the conversation was over walked away, finding a empty seat next to Sasuke. Sitting down Naruto was enjoying some peace and quiet before a loud rumble made its way through the academy before the door burst open, a pink haired and a blond haired girl both trying there hardest to get through the doorframe first, yelling at each other the whole time.
"OUT OF MY WAY INO-PIG I WAS HERE FIRST." Yelled the pink haired girl known as Sakura Haruno.
"IN YOUR DREAMS YOU WERE FOREHEAD I WAS HERE FIRST." Yelled Ino Yamanaka.
With one last push both girls pushed themselves free from the before they could arghue over how ghot to sit next to their precious 'Sasuke-kun' they noticed somthing was wrong with you he seat, namely that it was inhabited by one Naruto over to the chair to fix the 'problem' once they got there it was Sakura who spoke first.
"Move Naruto-baka I want to sit next to Sasuke-kun!" she said raising her fist to strike him. However before her fist could make contact with Naruto's skull a flash illuminated the room, followed by a 'bang' and finally Sakura's scream of pain. Once the flash was gone the genin in the room felt there eyes widen at scene in front of then, on the ground in front of Naruto was Sakura holding her swollen and possibly broken hand in pain. It was Naruto himself that caused the most amount of shock however apparently Naruto had brought his arms up to protect himself, but in place of Naruto's arms was a giant shield that was big enough to cover the boy's intire body.
Once again in shock at something Naruto had done it was a brown haired boy wearing a gray hoodie named Kiba that asked the question on everyone's mind.
"What the hell did you just do dobe? " Kiba asked, his puppy Akamaru who rested on head giving a 'bark' in agreement with his master.
Naruto, whose arms had turned back, scowled at the dog boy giving a bitter remark to pay back the disrespectful term. "It's none of your business what I did mutt."
Before Kiba could comeback with another insult the opened again revealing a irate Iruka. "OKAY BRATS SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP WHILE I TELL YOU YOUR TEAM ASSIGNMENT. "
Wisely sitting down many sat waiting with anticipation to what team they were going to be placed on.
"Team 1 will be-" At this time Naruto tuned Iruka out instead remembering his conversation with the Old Man Hokage after the Mizuki incident.
Flashback
Sarutobi sat at the Hokage's desk listening to the newly appointed genin in front of him give him a run down of what had happened after he had... umm knocked him out.
'I knew I should of forbidden him from using that justu' Sarutobi thought, ashamed that a at the time academy student had manged to best him the ' God of Shinobi'.
"... and then I knocked him out" Naruto finished, looking down in fear of what the Old Man might say.
Sarutobi leaned forward in his chair wonding what the best choice of action was he finally decided on to say. "While it is true that you did steal the Forbidden Scroll, a act that can be seen as treason. " At this Naruto lowered his head even more in shame. "However," Naruto's head shot up eyes full of hope." it's also true that not only were you able to retrieve said scroll from the real threat you were also able to defeat a chunin level ninja, becuse of those two thing I officially agree with Iruka's choice to gradutate you."
Naruto's eye's widened before he shot up in the air, fist towards the sky. His celebration was cut short when Sarutobi spoke in a serious voice.
"Naruto now that you are officially a ninja I think its about time for you to act like."
"What do you mean Old Man?" Naruto asked, confusion written on face.
"Well" Sarutobi started, "for one your jumpsuit, you see ninja at many times have to use stealth to help with a mission, now while there's nothing wrong with orange as a color it would stick out like a sore thumb during a mission making you a liability to your teamates it would be better if you wore black,tan, or gray instead."
"...okay," Naruto reluctantly said. "but there's one problem with that."
"And that would be?"
"You see no one else will sell me any thing." Naruto said with a sad expression.
Sarutobi grimaced, how could he forget. 'Ahh Minato if you could see your son now, would you still think your sacrifice was worth it?'
"Don't worry I know a place that won't try and screw you over Naruto, a place that can sell yuou better cholths and equipment." Sarutobi said remembering the small shop with a smile.
"Really thats awesome Old Man!" Naruto exclaimed loudly causing Sarutobi to wince.
"That reminds me of my next point your attitude, you see not only is it important for a ninja to be stealthy they also need to be quit and serious while on a mission, yelling could very well give away your position. " Sarutobi said, " And while were on the subject even thought I don't mind it you should learn to be more respectful, if you made a snide comment to a client of other important figure you could give Konoha a bad image.
Naruto groaned," That sounds like a lot of politics."
"Well it comes with the job I suppose." Sarutobi laughed., before turning serious. "Naruto that Justu you learned from the scroll."
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well the thing about it is that every Justu on that list has a repercussion for using them, and aside from the chakra it uses, which is no problem for you, no one has any idea what the repercussions are for that Justu so be very careful when using it okay Naruto."
"Gotcha Old Man" Naruto said in response.
Flashback End
Naruto snapped back into reality just in time to hear that he had been placed on Team 7 with Sasuke and Sakura. Giving a look to both of them he received a indifferent and a fearful stare respectfully causing him to sigh, if they were gonig to be a team they would have to at least try and get along.
-Two Hours Later-
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were sitting on the rooftop looking at there sensei Kakashi Hatake, a tall man with gravity defying white hair, a mask tha covered his lower face, and a headband that covered his left eye.
"Okay why don't we start with some introductions?"
"What do you mean sensei?" Sakura asked.
"Hmm, well like your likes, dislikes, dreams, that sort of thing" The Kakashi replied.
"Then why don't you go first sensai?"
Kakashi shrugged, " Sure why not?"
(Introductions are the same as canon, as is Kakashi's warning)
-The Next Day-
A very tired Naruto entered the traning grounds, givig a nod of hello to a equally tired Sasuke and Sakura before sitting in the grass and waiting for there sensei.
-Three Hours Later-
A cheerful Kakashi appeared on the traning grounds with a 'yo', receiving two 'YOUR LATES!' and one glare in return.
( Enter generic bell test explaintion here)
"On your marks, get set, ...Go!" Kakashi said, followed by his students runing off to hide.. all execpt one that was.
"You know your supposed to run right?" Kakashi said.
"Huh, I won't need to I'll kick your ass right now." Naruto bragged, causing Kakashi to sigh.
'It aappears Hokage-sama's words didn't get though to him after all,' Kakashi thought.'oh well theres always next year.
With that Kakashi teleported behind Naruto, giving him a karate chjop to the back of the neck knocking him out, only for the 'Naruto' to turn into a log. Sensing somthing behind him Kakashi turned around to find Naruto in the air preparing to axe kick him. Putting his hand up to catch the leg Kakashi's eyes widened when Naruto's leg suddenly transformed into a large axe,( AN: get it a 'axe kick' huh huh...but seriously forgot to do this last time. For the axe picture Dian Wei's axe from DW8) jumpingh back to avoid being cut in half Kakashi watched as Naruto's leg turned back to normal.
'Hmm so this is the surprise Hokage-sama mentioned this might be a interesting after all' Kakashi thought.
"Damn I missed, Naruto said with a grin on his face. "oh well this gives me shot to test my new weapon."
This put Kakashi on edge going into a defensive stance as he thought of all the tthings that Naruto could do as a flash engulfed Naruto's right forearm, however he visibly relaxed when Naruto revealed his new weapon to be a crossbow.
'How disappointing, genin with enough skill can dogde simply arro-' Kakashi's train of thought was interrupted when he had to duck three very fast arrow that hit the tree behind him, damn near going though it.
"Hahaha you should see the look on your face sensei...or at least the part you can see." Naruto said, grinning from ear to ear.
"Naruto how were you able to do something like that?" Kakashi asked sounding and looking shocked.
"Hehe sorry sensei trade secret"
"Is that so, well then I think this has gone long enough I still have to test your other teamates after all." With that said Kakashi disappeared, causeing Naruto's eyes to widen before his world went black.
When Naruto regained consciousness the first thing he noticed was Kakashi-sensei in front of him. Turning to his left he saw Sakura tied to a tree stump and Sasuke next to her, covered in dirt and looking angry. Before he could ask what had happened Kakashi started talking.
"Well it seems you the three fail, however I see some potential in Naruto and Sasuke so I think I'll give them a second chance, Sakura I suggest you quit. Know I'll go talk to the Hokage and then I'll be back to test you two, remember not to give Sakura any food it's her punishment for failing if you do I'll fail you too." With that he left leaving the three alone.
Five minutes passed without anyone saying a word both Naruto and Sasuke enjoying there lunches. The silence was ended by Sakura's stomach growling loudly, muttering a apologie Sakura continued to look down untill Naruto's bento was in her vision. Seeing her look of confusion Naruto explained.
"You can have some of mine I'm not that hungry anyway." Naruto said.
"Thats nice Naruto but I'm not worth failing oover, what if Kakashi were to find out?" Sakura said, smileing at the blond for his kindness.
Sighing Naruto sent a desperate glance to Sasuke, who with a sigh of his own, offered Sakura his as well saying he would feel bad later if he didn't. However before Sakura could say anything Kakashi suddenly appeared before them, a mad look on his face.
"What. Did. I. Tell. You." Kakashi said, stressing every word.
"N-not to f-feed Sakura." Naruto replied fearfully.
"And what did you do?"
"Feed Sakura"
"Well then, Kakashi's glare was suddenly replaced by a happy smile. " You pass." 1..2..3
"WHAT" shouted the new genin at once.
"You see," Kakashi started. "This test is ment to help build teamwork, after all how can you protect each other if you don't get along. I once had a comrade that said 'Those that abandon the mission are trash, but those who abandon a comrade are worse then trash'. Congratulations you three are now official genin of Konohagkure."
At this Naruto and Sakura gave loud shouts of celebration and Sasuke gave a small smirk.
AN:Wow that was long. Well thanks again for reading and I hope you guys don't think I'm trying to rush the story of anythig its just that I'd bet you've heard the introductions and catering bell test a thousand time and other then Naruto's part nothing changed. Speaking of Naruto you may of noticed how his Justu has no known repercussions, thats because I want you guys to give me some ideas for them. I belive that all power has a price so I have a idea in my head but I want to hear what you guys think. Also weapon wise I've decided that Naruto will have 13 regular weapons and one very special weapon( which I've all ready made) out of the 13 I have six so keep them coming. Also if anyone was wondering if Naruto puts both arms together he can create a bigger shield.
Next chapter is the 'first' meeting between Naruto and Tenten ( hint hint) and we find out how Naruto was able to shoot arrows so fast. Once again thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
