I do not own Naruto this is a fan fiction only.
Naruto grew up with his big brother Asuma and to anyone who saw them together they could not imagine that one of them was adopted. The two were like two peas in a pod, completely inseparable and always doing what siblings often do. Driving their poor parents up the proverbial wall with their pranks and jokes.
They were often rough housing and playing together. One the one side they were quite happy and on the other their parents could wait till they had children of their own. The payback would be simply so sweet they could practically taste it.
As their first year in the Academy came and Hirunzen bought for them their school supplies and checks Naruto for the usual items, which included laxative caps, whoopee cushions and all sort of pranking items. His mother made them a healthy breakfast after she got done explaining to both of them one thing. A egg, bacon, bean, potato, cabbage omelette was not something she would cook for their breakfast, lunch and especially not dinner.
She could just imagine the discussion she would end up having with their teacher about her sons breaking wing at least thirty times per class. Which in fact should have been a prophecy of sorts because she would end up having that very conversation on their first day of class.
They checked them for these items but they didn't check their school storage scrolls. Naruto was eating his sandwich which had an omelette with the previously mentioned ingredients. "See Asuma, I told you it was a good thing we learned how to cook." Asuma had to agree with his brother.
The class in the end had a few laughs and the teacher looked like he was going to have a heart attack or that vein in his face was going to erupt which ever came first. "Mrs. Sarutobi do you have any idea how disruptive it is to have your sons break wind so much in class. The smell was bad enough to make an Inuzuka and his partner throw up."
She apologized profusely as she was told the horrors her own children had unleashed in their first class, the teacher for the class made a reference to her children unleashing biological weapons on their entire class.
"Alright Asuma, Naruto you found this very funny didn't you? Well as punishment you both are not getting any Ramen for a day for every single time you broke wind in class today. " Asuma started counting with his fingers when Naruto stopped him and told him it was a solid month without Ramen.
She corrected him and told him the entire day not just one class." So does that mean the next bowl of Ramen we can have is on my birthday? Couldn't you just spank us instead? " She told them both that actions have consequences. If they didn't made such a scene in class they would get to eat Ramen like normal, but because they did.
They would not be having that dish in four months and if she heard anything about misbehaving in class she would have her husband ban Ramen from Konoha forever.
Amazing that the threat of forbidding them from actually eating a dish that was categorically unhealthy ended up reforming two class clowns so quickly. From that day forwards they were the best behaved students. They even made some other students look like they were the not as well behaved.
Itachi didn't see why even bothering behaving in class. "You are still going to get punished eventually. Kids act out it is normal. Next thing you will hear that we should not play with sharp instruments." He threw a kunai and hit a dummy nearby.
"We are training to be ninja, which mostly involve us killing people. So you make a joke or two it is not like it is the end of the word. " A fellow classmate told him the only reason he could say that was because he was not the one they farted next to the entire day.
" I still feel sick just remembering the smell, and I am a dog. You know smelled quite a few rears in my day but noting as horrible as these two breaking wind. " Kakashi just had to ask his summon to go back before he embarrassed him even worse.
Hana Inuzuka had to agree that Paku as vulgar as he sounded was right about the smell at the very least, the three huskies next to her just nodded their heads in complete agreement.
Hirunzen was not as harsh as his wife was however he simply gave them a long lecture about what happened to people who were not considerate of others. "Asuma, Naruto it might be funny but in the end such actions hurt other people. By disrupting the class you prevent your classmates from learning the things that could one day save their lives."
Hirunzen sat down on the his favorite armchair and told his boys to sit with him. The boys sat like always in front of their father. "We ninja can only show our strength when we help, protect and do things for other people. Alone we are like a small flame that will be blown out easily if a strong wind blows, but together my son's we become a mighty fire that no wind can extinguish. Together we might even turn that wind to make our flame grow stronger and brighter. This my boys is the will of fire our village believes and is founded on. "
The two boys finally understood what they did wrong." Sorry dad, it just that some of those classes were pretty boring. I just wanted everyone to relax by having a good laugh. You always said laughter is the best medicine in the world." Hirunzen looked at Naruto and then at Asuma.
"I understand boys, but believe me those lessons while boring are necessary. Otherwise I would not have place them in the Academy class program. History teaches us to learn from the past to try and prevent mistakes others did in the past. Biology teaches you about your own body and how to cure yourself also where to injure an enemy. "
Hirunzen stood up and continued his lecture. He was not called the Professor for nothing it seems." Philosophy teaches you to try and look beyond the common solutions, and Math to have an organized and logical mind. Each one of these subjects has a reason and if not learned early on it could lead you or a person you care about to a future nobody would want. "
The boys understood what their father said and admitted that they were in the wrong. They had planned to ask their father to talk to their mother and lessen their punishment. After listening to their father however they would not do that. Asuma and Naruto realized that what they did was wrong and such they accepted their punishment as they knew they had done something to earn it.
The two went front class clowns and changed into what they would call two boys trying had to get the rookie of the year title. Several girls in the class began to take notice of the boys. Previously they considered their actions to be childish and unattractive. The change in their behavior however made the two girls change their mind about the brothers.
Yugao liked how skilled Naruto was with a blade and Kurenai liked how Asuma was so good with his ninjutsu. The two girls who previously had avoided the boys as if they had some horrible disease as the year went became good friends. Little did they know as their parents looked at them play after school that sometimes good friends become something more.
The year came to a close and time continued to progress. The only one not happy but the change was in fact Itachi Uchiha. He was often heard that he missed the class clowns as they managed to help him take the pressure off him as they put their attention on their hilarious antics.
The third year came and Naruto began to actually out do his brother in the practical aspects of their training. Yugao was close behind him and had changes from simply being shy to being quite outspoken. Yugao was in public the same old ice queen as she was in class. Good thing Asuma knew how to defrost that heart of hers during their many dates.
It was during the sixth and final year that Itachi made a joke about how Naruto was more focused lately on something other than his academic preformance. "So tell me dope, are you ever going to get serious in our spars or are you too busy thinking about kissing your girlfriend?"
Naruto used the intercept style too such a degree that it stunned Itachi." I am always serious when I fight, even if I am sort of planning something special for my anniversary with the love of my life. Life without love Itachi somehow doesn't feel like life at all. I am lucky I have someone as wonderful as Yugao in my life. How about you? When are we going to meet your girlfriend or is it a boyfriend? "
This made the class laugh as their had been rumors that Itachi didn't like girls. The only people blushing out of embarrassment in fact were Yugao and Itachi for different reasons. The match was over and like other times Naruto was named the winner. Itachi only said he wins since he is the son of the third Hokage, thus he gets the special treatment.
The ANBU that watched the matches was quite impressed with three students in particular. "Not a bad group of possible recruits. I have to tell the commander about these four and probably we can get them to go to the advance program. No sense in letting talent like that go to waste."
The commander had been in ANBU since the second Hokage named him for the position. He was an old muscle bound man with so many scars it made most wonder how he could walk at all. "Tori I agree with your suggestion. We shall offer these students a chance to attend the ANBU advance training program. Personally I will ask the Hokage about Naruto and Fugaku will need to talk to me about his son Itachi. I trust that I can leave the discussion with the parents of Yugao and Kakashi to you. "
The man smiled and said it would be his pleasure to speak to his father about letting his kid sister attend the program and he would speak to Sakumo at the earliest convenience. Thus it was decided that instead of being selected for a regular team. Naruto, Itachi, Yugao and Kakashi would all go to the advance training program. The program was intended for specially gifted genin to grow stronger for their ANBU duties.
All parents had agreed to let them participate in the advance program. They actually would not receive their masks till they passed the entire program. They did however had to pick out which mask they wanted. Yugao picked cat, she always did like cats. Itachi picked the least liked mask weasel. Kakashi picked the obvious mask since he had the dog summoning contract. Naruto picked the Fox mask.
After several weeks of scouting, tracking,interrogation and trap disposal and placement. The team consisting of Cat, Weasel and Fox was sent to their next bandit elimination mission. "Weasel remind me again why do these bandits keep showing up? We kill one group and I swear two more take it's place. I would think even they can take a hint."
Weasel looked at Cat after she finished saying that. "In the words of our Fox here I will say this, they are a bunch of dumb, stupid, ignorant morons. What do you expect bandits to do use their brains? They wouldn't be bandits if they did that."
Fox glared at Weasel and began to count off his points. "First I never talk like that, you do. Second we are apparently surrounded by the bandit group we were suppose to take care off, teme. Finally I don't think they appreciated those insults or am I wrong fellas?"
Even the bandits had to say yes to that lost point. That was when the three of them began doing something they didn't expect of ninjas. They started playing rock, paper, scissors. This made the bandits wonder why they were doing it. After the blonde guy lost three times. He stepped towards the large group of bandits.
"Ok, before we get started I need a few questions answered. Is this the entire bandit group? " the group found a bit weird but what the hell the kids were going to die why not humor them. They said yes this was the entire group. Naruto thanked them and continued." Last but not least, which method do you prefer for your funerals? Buried or Cremation? If Cremation do you want them delivered somewhere?"
Most of the group now looked at him as if he was nuts, but then again he was going to die or so they believed. They told him Cremation and to leave their ashes right where they died. "Thank you again. Now that I know would you mind looking behind you?"
That was what caused them become confused. As the group looked behind them they saw three hundred copies of the guy who asked them the stupid questions and each was holding a spinning ball of fire in one hand. They saw them throw them at them and they were burned to ashes.
"Well that takes care of that. I still think the questions as a distraction was not necessary. Fox you could have easily killed them without the need for the deception. " Naruto looked at Itachi and smiled at him.
" Then you wouldn't have a reason to laugh now would you Weasel. Your welcome by the way." Cat patted Fox's back. "Come on, Lover boy we still got three more of these dumb bandit groups to take care off and don't forget you owe me a date."
Itachi could not help but to laugh as she saw them interact with each other. Naruto smiled and answered her with a much expected, "Yes, dear." Itachi made fun of him by telling him he was not even married with her and she already had him whipped.
"Speaking of whipped, how was your date with your boyfriend. " Yugao asked him. Itachi glared at her with a tick mark on his face." For the last time Cat I am not gay!" Naruto asked if he wasn't gay how come he spent so much time with Might Guy, and alone? Itachi began screaming at him a serious of world that would have made a sailor blush.
