The story of Naruto Uchiha

Chapter 3 A new sensei and the first squad

"We finally did it, oh I can't believe we are finally going to be shinobi!" Menma yelled out as he came running out of the school building, Naruto turned to his friend and immediately recognised the shimmering of the boy's Hitai-ate, which he had tied around his forehead. Behind him walked Kizu and Sazuki, former head her headband tied around her forehead like Menma." Menma don't shout so much! Gosh you are annoying at times I can tell you." Groaned Kizu, but the boy didn't listen and shouted, "You'll see I'll become Hokage soon enough, beli-." Bevor he could finish the sentence Sazuki walked up behind him and smashed her fist in the back of his head, "Shut up Menma I get a headache from your shouting." Hissed the Uchiha girl, "Oh get over it temee!" Growled Menma, Kurama who stood besides him snarled at the girl, "Fuck you ursa-tonkatchi!" With that she stalked of, "What's wrong with her she was like this since this morning she is so tense." Kizu said and Akamaru who was perched atop of her head whined approvingly, "I don't know since the last month I had the feeling that she got tenser and more disagreeable every day." Mused Naruto but he couldn't dwell about it as Menma put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Anyway, we are Genin now. I say that almost calls for victory ramen." Kizu rolled her eyes and Naruto just smiled at the bigger boy, he had a borderline addiction to the stuff, would his foster mother Tsume not feed him, Naruto believed he would have died on an overdose of salt. "Ok but let's meet this evening, I have to visit some people and I have to go back home and make dinner for Kin and Ken if I let them do as they please I can build the house anew after they finished. So, see you at let's say seven pm at Ichiraki bye." Naruto waved as he sprinted in the direction of the village centre, both of his friends waved after him and Menma shouted, "Don't come to late or I'll charge you for our dinner!" Bevor he was whacked on top of his head by a irritated Kizu, who winked at Naruto as he turned around to them, than she dragged her brother by the ear in the direction of the Inuzuka clan district. The Uchiha could hear Menma howl in agony as he was dragged by his foster sister. A light smile caressed the boys face, he was inexpressible thankful for having them, he didn't know what he would do without them.

After a short period of time spent walking towards his destination, Naruto finally arrived at the orphanage, he made it a habit to visit the children who had survived the massacre all this years ago, he had hardly passed the door of the building as he was assaulted by three children, three eight-year-olds one girl and two boys who all hugged him, "Uncle Naruto you are back I missed you!" The girl said, she had long black hair and a thin angelic face with dark eyes. "Yea you took long this time, not that we need you here." Naruto turned to the direction of the voice and his eyes became thin. Bevor him stood three Uchiha, two girls and a boy the same age as Ken and Kin, the girls were sisters and had medium long black hair and black eyes, Kita the one on the left had hers done in a bun, Leiko the one on the right had hers in a low ponytail. Between them stood Iroi Uchiha, he had short straight black hair and dark eyes which held something akin to displeasure. The boy didn't like him and at least one of the girls neither he didn't know why, he knew however one thing they were snooty brats who didn't know when it was enough. "We don't need you here so go away and play with your dog and fox." The boy continued his harassment, one of the girls snickered, the other looked displeased but Masaru one of the boys who had hugged him got up in Irois face and shouted, "Shut up or go away you ass!" The other Uchihas face contorted into rage, "What was that you little shit I'm goanna whop your ass!" The boy raised his fist and Naruto began to move but he didn't have to because Kita grasped the boys hand and yelled, "What's wrong with you?" "What do you mean he is on his side why shouldn't I teach him a lesson?" Iroi asked heatedly, the girl looked at him baffled, "There are no sides we are the last Uchiha without Naruto there is a good chance that we couldn't have made it. Until now I thought you would grow out of this shit but now." She let go of his arm and walked up to Naruto in passing she took Masarus hand, then she bowed to the other Uchiha, "I apologise for his manners." Naruto waved her of, "I just hope he will come to terms with his issues, better sooner than later." Naruto spend two hours at the orphanage he found the two nine-year-old twins Sachi and Susumu at the back yard, the girl Sachi had for Uchiha untypical dark brown hair reaching the small of her back and light brown eyes, the same was true for her twin brother Susumu, he had long straight hair and the same eyes as his sister, "Hey Naruto how are ya? Long-time no see." Susumu came up to him and shook his hand, "Good and you?" He asked, "Great Sachi and I can't wait till we can come live with you Ken and Kin." The boy answered, Sachi came up to him and began, "Hello Naruto nice to see you." He crooked his neck, "No hug, are you too old for that now or is it me?" Naruto asked with mock hurt present in his voice, the girl scurried over to him and gave him a bone cracking hug, Naruto laughed. After he had spent some time with them he said his goodbyes and walked of in to the direction of one of the training fields there was the person he was to meet.

"Hello Hayate, you wanted to meet me?" Naruto asked as he came near the tokubetsu no Jonin. "Oh-chough hello-chough-Naruto, how are you? I see the exam went-chough-well." At Narutos nod he smiled and wanted to say something but a coughing fit interrupted the attempt. Naruto cringed, Hayates disease had become worse over time, four years ago he had occasionally caught but now it had gotten really bad. "That's good because I have a celebration gift for you I hope you like it." Hayate said and handed him a roughly 50 cm long package, Naruto opened it and out came a in velvet encased long package, after he had peeled off that layer his eyes became wide it was a tanto with a black wooden saya, the hilt was warped in ray skin and had red cloth wrapped around the hilt in a traditional style. The blade had a Damascus steel pattern which indicated a high grade of steel and quality making. Naruto didn't know what to say, "I, I can't take this." He protested but Hayate shook his head, "No you take it it's a present from me and Yuugao." Hayate said with finality in his voice, "Thank you very much." Naruto thanked the man, the Jonin smiled and said, "Its chakra induced steel, it makes it easier and stronger to channel chakra through it, furthermore it's highly durable, may it help you when you need it.", "Thank you Hayate I really appreciate it and please say the same to Yuugao." Naruto answered, "Will do, see you Naruto." With that the Jonin disappeared in a Shunshin.

Narutos next stop was at his home where Kin and Ken already awaited him, "Naruto-aniki!" Ken cried out and ran to him followed closely behind him was Kin, both of them examined him and when thy spotted the headband, thy broke out in wild cheers, at least for Uchiha standards. "How was it nii-san?" Asked Kin excited, "Both of you know that I can't tell you so stop asking. Now what to eat?" Naruto mused then he walked in to the kitchen and all three of them began to make dinner. It was kind of a tradition it all had begun in the orphanage, the Kitchen there was rarely used, because it became rations from the village. But Naruto had always liked to cook, he had done it with Shisui and he wanted to keep this tradition, so he began to cook with the kids in the orphanage. Since then the caretakers had also begun cooking with all the orphans. After they finished dinner they helped him wash up then the two boys went to bed and Naruto made his way to Ichirakus to meet up with his friends.

"I hope we'll become a team." Menma said, they sat at the counter of Ichirakus, "Here you go." Teuchi a middle-aged man with grey hair and eyes, which always appeared to be shut giving the impression of the man smiling constantly. He put three meals down in front of them. Menma immediately grabbed his bowl of miso-ramen and began to inhale the dish, "Another!" He cried out shortly after Naruto and Kizu had begun eating theirs. "Menma sometimes I think you breathe ramen instead of eating it." Giggled Ayame, she was a young woman with long brown hair and large black eyes. "I can't help it it's the food of the gods it calls out to me." Menma answered and got instantly whacked lightly on the head by Kizu, "All you think about is training and eating, if mom weren't there all you would spent money on would be ramen." The Inuzuka girl groaned, Naruto snickered the ramen addiction of his best friend was something he found utterly hilarious. "I have to say the young lad is right ramen may be the foods of the gods, but I don't think if you would eat as much of it as you want to, that you would be as big and strong as you are now. You need a healthy diet as a ninja." They could see how it pained him to say that, because Menma was the kind of person who would come to them three times a day seven days a week if Tsume allowed it. "Ok now that this is resolved we can debate what the odds are that we become a team and who might be our sensei." Menma said, Naruto mulled the questions over in his head. "Well I don't know how they make the teams and the Jonin who take teams this year I don't know either. I hope nonetheless that we are on the same team, but I don't know if the will be hell bend to stick Sazuki and me together." The Uchiha answered, "Well that was utterly fruitless don't you think?" Kizu quipped, "Well what do you think or better what do you want?" Asked Menma back, "I want to be on a team with Naru-chan here, but I think they will stick me in a team with Hinata and Shino." She said, Menma looked at her questionably, Naruto didn't look at all, he turned his head to the side, so they couldn't see the red that had begun creeping up on his cheeks, Ayame however saw it and she giggled lightly. "What gives you that idea?" Asked Menma, Kizu crossed her arms, "Well with me, Shino and Hinata you could form a tracker team, because all of us have means to track or hunt down subjects, me and you Menma we have heightened senses of smell and hearing, you more than I do, Hinata has the Byakugan and Shino has his bugs which can sense chakra. Then we have Ino, Shikamaru and Choji, it's likely that they will form the new generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, so they are out of the question as well. So now we have two Uchihas and an Uzumaki the only ones left from ninja family's. I'm sure you will get paired and then there are some civilians in the class. I Don't think any of them besides, Sakura, Benjiro and Ryota have made it through the exam or are worth mentioning." She ended. Both boys starred at her, her speech was actual rational, "Kizu everything ok you make sense. Are you sick? How many fingers do I hold up?" Menma asked, holding one Hand to her forehead and the other in front of her face showing three fingers. Her face went from surprised and puzzled to rage, Naruto blended out both of them and thought about the three-civilian born who had made a positive impression on him. First there was Sakura, she had fair skin, green eyes, and pink hair, she had had crush on him since before the massacre but grew out of it since, she was very good in theory, but she had seriously lacked the physical part, so some time after class she had approached him, she had been a stuttering mess, asking him to help her with her tai-justu because she didn't want to be someone who would be a burden, so she had to excel at many areas, he didn't see why he shouldn't so he gave her some lessons after class and she was ever since in the middle of the class ranking tai-jutsu wise. The next one to come to mind was Bnjiro, the boy had a sturdy broad build at least for a 12-year-old but he lacked in size coming up only about 1.47 Metres. He had blue eyes and sandy-brown hair, he was always relaxed and never appeared to be in a hurry, he was calm and collected and all in all a pleasant person to be around. The first time Naruto took notice of him was at one of their spars, the boy was going up against Menma so Naruto at first didn't bother to watch, but as the boy still stood after one Minute he got interested, there weren't many in their age-group who could go up against the Uzumaki never mind civilians. But the boy did very well, he still wasn't a match for Menma after the boy stepped up his game, but he had taken a considerable amount of punishment bevor getting knocked out. The last one was Ryota, a slim tall boy, with orange hair and an aptitude for throwing weapons, he was nearly as good as Naruto and that meant something, his tai-jutsu was about upper average, but the boy was a crafty fighter, Naruto knew that because they had done field test with an ambush, and he together with Shikamaru and Sakura got ambushed by Ryota, Kizu and Ino, the boy had had some pretty nasty traps and used his surrounding very well during the fight. The three of them would be a good team, Sakura he remembered had ungodly good chakra control, the reason he knew this was because he had shown her the tree-walking exercise and she managed to do it in 5 minutes, after that he had advised her on taking up medical-or gen-jutsu. "Hey earth to Naruto are you there? Hey?" Kizu had gotten up in his face snapping with her fingers, her brown eyes starring into his, after a moment he realised how close they were, red began to creep up his cheeks and he thought he saw satisfaction lighting up in Kizus eyes bevor she leaned back to bring distance between them, he breathed out he hadn't realised that he had held it the whole time. "I think it's time we go home don't you think?" Menma asked it was getting dark and he was scared shitless by the thought of his Mother if he came too late, this hadn't changed over the years even the fact that he was taller than her now didn't help in the least. "Yea your right I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said giving his best friend a bro-fist, then Kizu gave him a hug, "See you tomorrow and I still hope I get to be on a team with you." She winked at him than she turned around and trotted after Menma. Naruto shook his head standing on the entrance of Ichirakus what the hell was wrong with him why did Kizus closeness affect him so much, he shook his head a second time and began to make his way to the Uchiha district as the sky began to darken.

Before the Uchiha went home his feet took him in the direction of Sazukis house, one of the windows was illuminated its warm light shining onto the now dark street, 'Good she's awake' Naruto thought than he stepped up to the front door and knocked three times, the sound of his knuckles on the old wood loud in the quiet street. He didn't have to wait long until the door opened, and light shone him in the face, bevor him stood Sazuki in a long white shirt and grey shorts, she looked like she was ready to go to bed. "Naruto what do you want here at a time like this?" She asked almost sleepily, Naruto rubbed the back of his head, "Can I come? I rather not speak with you on your doorstep." Sazuki sighed she knew exactly what he wanted to talk about, "Ok come in I will make some tea." She motioned for him to come in, "Wait in the living room I'll be there in a minute." With that she left him, he walked towards the living room, the house was like he remembered, it was still furnished in traditional Japanese style, he spotted an old oaken coffee table, so he sat down on one of the cushions and waited for Sazuki to come back from the kitchen. Meanwhile he looked around, he noticed only now how scarcely the room was furnished he thought back bevor the massacre, he remembered the flowers and plants everywhere in the house, small with statues decorated tables everywhere, now it made a cold and lonely impression. But he hadn't all that much time to think about it because Sazuki came in, a wooden tablet with a porcelain tee service on it, she put it down in front of him, bevor sitting down opposite of him, than she began to pour the tee. "Its Uchiyama the one you like the most." She said bevor sipping on her own cup, Naruto too took a sip of the hot drink, it was a good tee but that didn't surprise him, the girl had under many other talents, an aptitude for making tee. He sighed contemplating the flavour of his drink. Bevor he sat his cup down, looking Sazuki in the eyes, "Ok you know why I am here, so I'm not goanna beat around the bush. Why are you so tens and cold, is it because Itachi? Because you are now a Genin what is it? Tell me." He demanded, Sazuki looked at him her eyes narrowed, "Don't you? We are one step closer to taking our revenge, we can't have them slowing us down we must let go of them our mission is too important for us to be friends with them anymore. I know you wont-" Naruto silenced her with an angry wave of his hand, his eyes hard and unrelenting, "So that is it, don't you remember what I told you all these years ago about our friends about how we need them? What on earth has gotten in to you to say such things? They don't slow us down they make us stronger, support us, stand with us and you want to get rid of them? I thought you were more intelligent than that Sazuki." Naruto ranted, Sazuki looked down, "But we have a mission to fulfil, I have a mission to fulfil. I…look Naruto I like our friends I really do but how can they understand our pain? Tell me how!" She got louder, Naruto shook his head, "Please don't Sazuki. You know that they felt and still feel with us and you talk about them as if they knew nothing about us as if they are just a hindrance for us. That I won't accept, so get your shit together or life with the consequences I have nothing else to say about it." Naruto was furious with his friend she was so hellbent on revenge, still after all these years was that all she cared about? He stood up abruptly and turned to go, storming out the living room, leaving behind a dumbfounded Sazuki who starred after him. He was at the door as he finally heard her scurrying after him. "You choose them over me? Over your blood and clan?" She asked heatedly, Naruto closed his eyes, was she mad, "Answer me damnit!" She screeched, and Naruto cracked, for the first time in his life he just let loose on his emotions, he spun around and as he did so he released a frightening amount of KI, he looked at her starring form, she took step back, but he took one in her direction, "Have you gone mad?" He growled taking another step, "Are you so hellbent on revenge that you accuse me of choosing one of you over another that I would leave you too your own? Are you fucking crazy?" He screamed at her taking another step, her back made contact with one of the walls, "I would rather die than see you succumbing to your hate! So, think about it and think well. Is your revenge more important than your friends who have supported you all these years? If yes than you are a very sad person and one I don't think I know anymore. God night." Narutos voice softened until he whispered the last sentence, then he turned around and stormed out the door. Sazuki let finally go and slid down the wall, she hugged her knees and began to cry softly, she didn't want to lose them Narutos outburst had shown her that, she didn't want to be alone. She made him yell at her, she hadn't heard him yelling since the day at the Hospital, tomorrow she had to apologise to him and to Menma. She stood up and walked into the bathroom to wash her tears away, then she took the tee service and cleaned it. After that she went to bed exhausted from her talk with Naruto.

Naruto awoke early the next morning he was eager to go to the academy and learn with whom he might be in a team and who would be his sensei. After a quick Breakfast he left his home, Kin and Ken had school later, so he didn't wake them up. At the gate of the district he heard someone call out to him, he turned around and spotted Sazuki running after him, he waited for her, then he looked at her questionably. She bowed deep and said, "I am really sorry for yesterday I'm just. I don't know." She shrugged and looked at him apologetically. He sighed, "Its ok I know that you are sensitive about this and that you have problems to trust people, but you should know that both of them will support you, in fact all of us will support you so please refrain from taking this path ok." He answered, she nodded, "Ok." The both of them walked to the academy already there they found Menma, Kizu, the clan heirs and some civilians among them Sakura, who waved him with a big smile he returned, Benjirou and Ryota nodded at him. Sazuki did go straight up to Menma and bowed her head, he couldn't hear what she was saying but he saw the softening of Menmas features and him waving with his hand, the girl smiled well more of a grin really but non the less a happy expression crossed her face and that resulted in Naruto being happy and smiling a real smile in his case. He took his seat besides Menma who looked at him than at Sazuki who sat two rows up on the other side of the room besides Kizu, "You spoke to her didn't you?" He asked, Naruto nodded, "You want to tell me what has gotten into her she was like that since a month ago." Menma asked further. The Uchiha looked at him, "It's because Itachi she has this revenge fantasies since the massacre and now that we are Genin she thought we should let go of you because you would drag us down. She was clearly not in her right mind." Menma nodded in understanding, "You talked to her is everything alright then?" Naruto could hear how concerned Menma was about the girl, "Yea she apologised to me this morning and said that she wasn't in her right mind yesterday, because I said to her that she has to choose if she wants to keep us or not. I asked her what is more important her revenge or her friends." Menma looked up again to the Uchiha girl, to see her smile at Kizu apparently they had an enjoyable conversation and as he saw this light smile on Sazukis face he thought that he wanted it to see it as much as possible. The boy was brought out of his musings as the door to the classroom opened and Iruka came in, "Quiet please!" He called to the class and they immediately quit their chattering. "Today I'm here to announce your team assignments, bevor I begin I want to say that I am very proud of all of you. Now on to the team assignments first is…" Naruto turned Iruka out, until he heard a familiar name. "Team 6, Sakura Haruno, Benjirou Kawabashi und Ryota Tokuzen. Your sensei is Natsuki Watanabe." So Kizu was right, Naruto thought, "Team 7 Naruto Uchiha, Sazuki Uchiha and Menma Uzumaki. Your sensei is Kakashi Hatake." Naruto perked up he knew this name but where did he hear it, 'Wow Kizu how could you know that?', he asked himself, he looked to his side, seeing Menma shaking his head, "How?" Naruto knew what the Uzumaki referred to, he looked up at Kizu and Sazuki, the first one gave him a toothy grin and winked at him, the Uchiha smiled at both him and Menma, but she seemed to focus the Uzumaki boy. "Team 8 Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame and Kizu Inuzuka. Your sensei is Kurenai Yuuhi." 'So that leaves only…' Naruto thought but bevor he could finish his thought process he heard, "Team 10 Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi. Your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi." Naruto heard Shikamaru and Ino groan, "Why do I have to be on a team with the laziest ninja ever and the one who only thinks about food!" She screeched, "Troublesome blonds." Shikamaru grumbled. "You will wait her until your sensei arrives to take you with him." Iruka ordered than he left the room.

Two and a half ours later the two Uchiha and the Uzumaki still sat in the classroom, "I'm goanna kill him!" Menma growled, "Interesting who do you want to kill?" Asked a lazy voice directly to his right, the Genin shrieked and tried to get away from the person besides him as fast as possible, in the attempt to do this, he tripped over a chair leg turned and fell directly in to Sazuki who was standing at the end of the row of desks, knocking her down, landing on top of her and lastly lip lock with the surprised Uchiha heiress. All of that hadn't even taken three seconds Naruto starred at his two friends too his feet, none of which moved, to surprised, but after two seconds realisation hit them and both of them scurried away from each other, flushing enormously. Kuramas yipping sounded like he was laughing in malicious glee. Deciding to let them alone he turned to the man who initiated all of this, the man had spiky silver hair oriented to his left-side and dark grey eyes, he sported a relaxed, heavy-lidded expression. His forehead protector covered his left eye and he wore a black facemask so the most of his face was covered. He wore Konoha's standard infantry clothing which consisted of a flak jacket, dark blue pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. He also wore fingerless gloves with metal plates on the backhand and standard issue shinobi sandals. "You should be more aware of your surroundings, just a recommendation for the future." The man drawled, "Meet me on the roof you have five minutes." The man said and disappeared in a cloud of smoke, Naruto immediately grabbed Sazuki and Menma who still starred at each other, bevor using a Shunshin to get up to the roof. As he appeared an instant later, on the roof he was met with a slightly surprised Kakashi who looked at him with a raised eyebrow, tucking away an orange book, "Oh you're here already." Did he sound slightly disappointed? Naruto asked himself, maybe he was just reading too much in to it. "Ok since your already here we can begin with the introductions. Take seat." He ordered. "So, let's begin with you tomato, what's your name, likes dislikes, dreams for the future et cetera." The Jonin said. Menma didn't let himself be irritated by the nickname, "My name is Menma Uzumaki, I like my friends and family, Kurama here, my crazy perv of an uncle Jiraiya and ramen. I also like training and getting better in the ninja arts. I don't like people who judge somebody for things hey have no control over, traitors and vegetables I'll only eat them if my mom makes them. My dream for the future is becoming Hokage, so I can protect everyone I love." Kakashi knew of course who Menma was so he wasn't surprised to hear that the boy knew about his uncle. "Now you." He pointed at Naruto, "My name is Naruto Uchiha, I like my friends and remaining clan members. I dislike people who think that we need some extra attention or are something to gawk at. My dream fore the future is to be a strong servant of my village and my Hokage, to protect them from every threat that will come their way. Furthermore, I would like to rebuild my clan and establish him once more as one of the villages strongest clan." Kakashi nodded in his direction, approval apparent in his right eye, "Now you, broody." The Jonin pointed at Sazuki, she growled and looked at him, "My name is Sazuki Uchiha, I don't like much besides my friends and training, my goal in life is to rebuild my clan and killing someone who did something truly horrible to me and my clan." With that she ended. Kakashi had narrowed his eye at the part with Itachi but he didn't say anything, he hadn't expected anything different, the opposite was the case he thought Naruto would be like her and both of them would be much more closed of but then he thought back at his talk with the Hokage specifically about Naruto, "He isn't your normal Uchiha he may change their ways forever, the boys and girls in the orphanage see him as a remodel and a big brother figure and thrive to be like him. Especially on Sazuki he has a very positive effect." He didn't believe Hiruzen at first but now he saw that the was right. "Ok my name is Kakashi Hatake, I like some things, others I don't, my dreams for the future… private. Now I have a basic impression of you and you will be happy to hear that I don't dislike you that much. Meet me tomorrow morning five am at training ground seven for your survival training." "So it's another test?" Naruto asked, the Jonin looked at him, "I don't know if you are aware that only portion of the graduates become Genin." "The fuck does that mean what for did we do this fucking test if it means nothing!" Menma protested, "This test was only to weed out the hopeless cases so until tomorrow, oh and don't eat or you're going to throw up, ja na." With that he disappeared leaving three somewhat dumbfounded Genin in his wake, but for different reasons, 'I know him he is the one with the dog mask' Naruto thought, 'What the heck another test' Menma growled inwardly, 'I knew it was to easy', Sazuki thought. "Ok I think we should discuss our approach for tomorrow I think it will be something involving us working together that's the most important thing for us right now and later on in our carriers too so we should make plans for some scenarios we might find us self in." Naruto informed his team members of his thought process, to his relief both nodded. So they sat together planning for tomorrow.
