Sorry for the long wait. School started and it was a bit hard starting again and I was away for half a week competing in the swedish luge championship. I came in on eight place if you wonder and might I just add that I´m a junior competing in the senior championship. Oh yeah, ego boost to march. You can start sending love letters now(or PM´s). Jokes aside, it´s time for you to read the new chapter.

Two years later…
Dingdingdingdingding!
"I´m awake I´m awake, please stop that ringing!" Naruto complained as he woke up from bed. He then turned around in the bed so that he´s facing the alarm clock and turned it off. "Why is the alarm on? There´s no place I need to be at today right?" Naruto then went back to sleep.
Why isn´t he up yet? The alarm rang half an hour ago. He´ll be late for his first day in the academy if he don´t get up now. "NARUTO! Your breakfast is getting cold!" Kurenai screamed.
"Calm down Kurenai-chan. Coming late one time won´t hurt." Asuma said.
"Usually not. But first impressions are very important and we don´t want to give the teachers there any more reason than they already have to hamper with his teachings." Kurenai said. Asuma was just about to say that his dad wouldn´t allow that to happen when Naruto came into the kitchen.
"Whats for breakfast kaa-chan?" Naruto asked.
"Ramen." Kurenai said.
"Ramen? But you never allow me to eat ramen for breakfast." Naruto said.
"I thought that I´d make an exception on your big day." Kurenai said.
"Ramen for breakfast and talk about a big day, I´m confused. Whats happening? Why was the alarm on?" Naruto asked.
"You don´t remember? Asuma! What did I say about influencing our son badly!" Kurenai exclaimed.
"Now your making me even more confused. Please, just tell me whats going on." Naruto pleaded.
"You really don´t know, huh. It´s your first day at the academy today dummy. How could you forget that? Not even I forgot to go to my first day, hell, even Kakashi showed up. " Asuma said with a chuckle at the last part.
"When do I start?! When do I start?!" Naruto asked. He had a panicked lock on his face.
"In 40 minutes." Kurenai said. Naruto then ran upstairs again to get out of his pyjamas and put on clothes.
"I put your clothes on your chair!" Kurenai yelled so that Naruto could hear.
"Okey!" was the answer from Naruto
Thirty seconds later Naruto came running down to the kitchen again weiring a new outfit. The outfit was a white t-shirt with the symbol of friendship in the middle on the front and a pair of black shorts. Under his t-shirt and pants he wore a pair of mesh pants and shirt. They sat tightly on the body, had a fishnet pattern and went down to the wrist and ankles.
"Whats up with all this mesh?" Naruto asked.
"I don´t know how hot or cold the academy is and you´ll be spending alot of time outdoors, so I thought that I´d add a bit extra mesh to keep you from catching a cold." Kurenai said.
"But kaaaaa-chaan, I never catch cold and this place isn´t called Fire Country for nothing." Naruto whined.
"No buts. Now eat your breakfast and be off." Kurenai said. Naruto then inhaled his cup of ramen and went to the door to put on his blue ninja sandals
"Kaa-chan, tou-san, aren´t you coming?" Naruto asked.
"We´ll be there later for the ceremony. You have to go earlier than us so that the guys at the academy can check that everyones there and put you in your right seats for the ceremony." Asuma said.
"Okey, bye." Naruto said before running away to the academy.
Some time later at the academy…
When Naruto arrived at the academy he saw kids his age sitting on three benches. The two benches in the back was lifted higher with a Earth style jutsu so that the already assembling group of parents could se everyone. There were only a couple of seats left so Naruto went up to a chunin and asked where he should sit.
"Hey, where am I supposed to sit?" Naruto asked.
"Whats your name?" the chunin asked. He already knew of course but still decided to follow protocol.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto answered.
"Hi Naruto. I´m Iruka. If I´m right I´ll be your teacher during your time at the academy. Lets see." Iruka then read the paper in his hands. "Yup, just as I thought, your in my class. That means your going to sit on the first row. The other kids on the first row are also in my class so they´ll be your class mates." Iruka said.
"Okey, see you in class Iruka sensei!" Naruto exclaimed. Naruto then went to sit down on the bench.
"Bye Naruto." Iruka said to Narutos back. Naruto rose his hand showing he heard him.
When Naruto sat down on the bench he saw the faces of the adults take on a look of anger, hatred and disgust. Naruto felt a pang of sadness and hurt go thru him but did his best to brush it of. No one saw Narutos sudden look of sadness before it was coverd up with his normal happy face. No one except Iruka.
Poor guy. He must be so lonely. I will have to do something about that later. Iruka thought.
When the three benches were filled with ninja hopefulls and all the parents arrived the Hokage came and held a speech about never giving up and hard work. After the speech the parents went to their kids (who had now stood up from the benches and also walked to their parents) to wish them good luck in the academy.
"Good luck in the academy Naruto-kun." Asuma said.
"And remember to always do your best, listen to your teachers, respect your teachers…etc etc" Kurenai said.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it mom." Naruto said. "See you after school."
"Mhm. Good luck Naru-chan." Kurenai then bent down and planted a kiss on Narutos forehead.
"K-kaa-chan. Don´t do that." Naruto said.
"Am I embarrasing Naru-chan?" Kurenai asked.
"Yes!" Naruto exclaimed. Kurenai giggles at his response.
"Bye Naru-chan." Kurenai said. She and Asuma then started to walk away but after only a couple of steps Kurenai turned around and sent a blow-kiss towards Naruto, making the kid only redder on the cheeks.
"Everyone who sat on the first row come and stand in a line before me!" Iruka called out.
"Everyone from the second row come here and stand in a line before me!" a nondescript chunin called.
"That leaves everyone on the third line to come and stand before me!" a second nondescrit chunin called.
When all the kids stood in lines the chunins led them to their classrooms. Naruto was very happy when he saw Shikamaru and Choji standing in the same line as him
In the class-room..
"Hey class. I´m Iruka Umino and I´ll be your teacher for your time here at the academy." Iruka said. "I´m going to read your names from the list and when you hear your name I want you to stand up and tell us about yourself. First out is Kenshin Higurashi." Iruka said.
From around the middle of the classroom a guy with smooth black hair stood up. Naruto didn´t see his face though because he was sitting in the back of the classrom.
"Hi. My name is Kenshin Higurasi. I like my parents, sister, different kinds of wepons and my favorite food is dumplings." Kenshin said.
"Good, next up is Hotaru Kawaguchi." Iruka said.
Naruto then saw a girl from one of the front seats stand up. The only noticable thing about her that he could see was that she had green hair.
"I´m Hotaru. I like my kaa-chan, tou-san oba-chan and training, especially my special abillity." She then sat down and Iruka started the next person but Naruto started zoning out untill his name was called.
"Next is Naruto Uzumaki." Iruka said.
Most of the class started to whisper with the pupil next to them when they heard his name because they had been told by their parents to stay away from him.
"Hey guys! I´m Naruto Uzumaki. I like my parents, my clan, training and my friends. My favourite food is ramen and I´m gonna be the next Hokage ttebayo! Naruto exclaimed. But before he could sit down a brown haired boy with tattooes on his cheeks and a puppy on his head spoke.
"I didn´t know there is a clan named Uzumaki here."
"No no. There isn´t. You see… I´m adopted and I´m gonna take the clan name when my parents get married." Naruto said. The boy nodded at the answer and turned on his bench so that he was facing forward again.
"Next one´s Kiba Inuzuka."
The same boy who asked the question to Naruto then stood up. "Names Kiba Inuzuka. I like my dog Akamaru, my mom, sister and the rest of my clan. My dream is to become the clan head and make the Inuzuka clan stronger than ever! Kiba exclaimed.
"Good dreams you two. Next one, Sasuke Uchiha."
"Hn. I´m going to get stronger than my brother and show the world why the Uchiha is the elite."
The first impression Naruto got from this guy was that he is an arrogant piece of **** with a stick up his ass, but, for some reason that Naruto couldn´t understand was that almost all of the girls in the class was looking at Sasuke with hearts in their eyes.
"Now that everyone has intruduced themselves I want to test you on what you can do. So follow me out please and we´ll start with kunai and shuriken." Iruka said. He then led the class outside to one of the academys training grounds. Iruka stopped when they came infront of ten poles with hit marks on them. "Okey stand in a line please. You´ll all get to borrow ten kunai and shuriken for this test."
When the line formed Naruto ended up in the back of it with Shikamaru and Choji.
"This is so troublesome." Shikamaru whined.
"Come on Shika. It´s not that bad and we´re the last in line meaning that you can spend all the time untill your turn watching the clouds." Choji said, trying to cheer Shikamaru up.
"Chojis right Shika! This is going to be so much fun! We´ll be able to show everyone how awesome we are! Naruto exclaimed.
"I just want to sleep." Shikamaru said. Naruto face faulted at that.
Time passed and Naruto realized that the only ones who knew how to handle the wepons were the clan people and two of the civilians, Kenshin and Hotaru if Naruto rememberd correcly. The civilians didn´t have a single clue on how to use the weapons. Kenshin, Hotaru and the clan heirs all hit the mark and some even hit the bullseye from time to time, but what got Narutos eyes to bulge was Sasuke and Kenshin. Sasuke hit six bulls eye with kunai and seven with shuriken, the ones that didn´t hit bulls eye were only one or two rings away. The girls started swooning over him again. What was even more suprising was that Kenshin hit all bulls eye, with both kunai and shuriken. Sasuke grit his theeth at that and the girl became angry at Kenshin for humiliating 'their Sasuke-kun'. Naruto gave up then and there to try and understand women.
"And last but not least it´s your turn Naruto." Iruka said.
Naruto nodded and went to pick up ten shuriken from a table. He then took a deep breath before throwing them. He got seven bulls eye and the other three were in the ring around the bulls eye. He then went to the table again and picked up ten kunai but waited with throwing them until Mizuki, Irukas assistant picked the shurikens from the marks. The man seemed to frown at how good Naruto did. When Mizuki was done Naruto took a deep breath again and threw the kunai. To say that he was suprised with the result would be an understatement. He got the best score of his life so far. Nine out of ten bulls eye and the tenth kunai was just on the border of also being one. This got the same reaction as Kenshin got from Sasuke and most of the girls.
"Next up is taijutsu." Iruka said.
The group then walked around the corner of the academy to a patch of earth that had a ring painted on it beside a tree.
"That wasn´t to bad right, Shika?" Naruto asked.
"A totall waste of time." Shikamaru answered.
"For the love of god Shikamaru! You got to stop being so lazy! You got a good brain in there, I know it! If you only tried a little harder you could become really strong ttebayo! Naruto exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah. Whats up with all that mesh your wearing anyway?" Shikamaru asked.
Naruto was a bit suprised at the question because Shikamaru never cared about how people looked and such things. Probably only want to change the topic. Naruto thought but answered the question anyway.
"Kaa-chan was afraid that I´d catch a cold so she had me were it to keep me warm." Naruto said.
"Catch a cold? In Fire Country? Troublesome women…" Shikamaru mutterd.
While they had been talking the sparring matches had already begun. They turned around just in time to see Sasuke beating Kenshin. The match probably was a close one because both boys were panting.
"Good job. Both of you. Next match is between Hotaru Kawaguchi and Sakura Haruno." Iruka said.
The two girls then stepped into the circle and took fighting stances.
"Hajime."
The match was over almost directly after it begun. Sakura was the one to make the first move. She made a small jump to end up in front of Hotaru and threw a straight right handed punch towards the green haired girls face. But Hotaru side stepped to the left and grabbed Sakuras wrist with her right hand and pushed her left palm on the other girls elbow, almost breaking it. She then proceded to throw Sakura out of the sparring circle.
Iruka blinked a few times before speaking. "Winner: Hotaru. Next match is Shikamaru Nara versus Choji Akimichi.
The two boys were standing infront of each other in the circle but they wern´t in fighting stances yet. Shikamaru looked bored and Choji looked like he was afraid of doing something.
"Calm down Choji. It´s just a taijutsu spar. It wont kill me if you punch me." Shikamaru said.
"Okey Shika. I don´t like it though." Choji said.
"You guys ready?" Iruka asked. When the two boys nodded Iruka brought his hand down and called. "Hajime."
Choji cocked his arm back so that he was ready to strike, he then started charging towards Shikamaru. When Choji started to get close Shikamaru started to jump back to avoid his punch. Some seconds later the match ended because Shikamaru had stepped outside the ring and Choji was standing just by the border.
"Damn. I forgot the line." Shikamaru said. But everyone knew that he was lying.
Iruka shook his head at what the Nara heir did but went on with the matches none the less.
"Next match is between Ino Yamanaka and Shino Aburame" Iruka said. "Ready? Hajime!"
The match was pretty boring in Narutos opinion. None of the fighters were too good at taijutsu. The guy finally won because of his superior strenghth.
"Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka. It´s your turn." Iruka said.
"Finally some action! Watching the other started to become boring." Naruto said.
"I promise you that this match isn´t going to be boring. But I can´t promise it wont be embarresing." Kiba said with a smirk on his face.
"Embarresing for me or you pup?" Naruto taunted.
"Why you. You little midget. I´l wipe that grin of your face." Kiba said.
"What did you call me?! Naruto yelled.
"Short! I called you short, shorty." Kiba said. Naruto was about to pounce at Kiba but was stopped by Iruka.
"Calm down boys. Remember, your only allowed to pummel each other in a spar." Shold not have said that, should not have said that.
"Fine. Let´s get to it then. If you dare that is, pup." Naruto said.
"Jump down Akamaru. I can take care of this trash my self." Kiba said. The dog on his head then barked in agremeent and jumped off his head and walked out of the circle.
"You guys ready?" Iruka asked. He got two growls for answer. "Hajime!"
When Iruka told them that they could begin Kiba went down in a stance on all for and Naruto took a normal fighting stance. Kiba then lunged at Naruto and tried to knee him. Naruto side stepped but Kiba who was still in the air extended his leg to try and kick the blond but Naruto crouched down lettting the leg and its owner sail past him. After landing on the ground and turning around, Kiba lunged towards Naruto again. But this time he stopped infront of Naruto and tried to sweep his legs, Naruto avoided by jumping into the air. But being airborn made Naruto an easy target for Kiba who, after the failed leg sweep stood on his hands and kicked towards Naruto with both legs. The blond brought his knees to his chest to avoid the Inuzukas dual kick. He the brought his legs back down and onto Kibas feet. Naruto then pushed Kibas feet and legs down, making the brunette land on his stomache on the ground. Naruto then came crashing down on Kiba with his knees embeding themselves in Kibas tighs backside. The Inuzuka heir screamed in pain from Naruto landing on him.
"You can get of him now, Naruto." Iruka said.
When Naruto stepped away from Kiba he saw that the rest of the class was looking at him with wide eyes.
"What?" Naruto asked.
"So cool." some of the girls said with stars in their eyes.
After that fight Naruto had, much to his horror, gained a fanclub. Although not as big as Sasukes, but it was still a pain in the ass.
Not much worth of notice happened that day. After the taijutsu spars they had gone back to the class room to get their books. But Iruka had cast a low level genjutsu on the door making it have a diffrent number. This was to test the students in genjutsu. The only ones who were able to notice the genjutsu was Naruto, Sasuke and a girl with dark hair and strange light pink colord eyes and no pupil.
After they got their books they had a small test to see how much they know about ninja life.
Narutos home after school…
"Kaa-chan! Tou-san! I´m home!." Naruto yelled once he arrived at home.
"Naru-chan!" Kurenai yelled as she ran to the door and embraced Naruto in a tight hug. "I missed you so much."
"H-hey. Calm down. I was just at the academy." Naruto said.
"I still missed you." Kurenai said.
"I missed you to." Naruto said. "Where is tou-san?"
"He´s trying a new kimono I bought him."
"Why is he doing that? You know that he don´t like those fancy kind of clothes."
"The Akimichis are having a dinner to celebrare that you guys started the academy."
"Yes! Choji´s mom makes the best food!... Except ramen."
"Don´t you like my food?" Kurenai asked with a sad look on her face.
"Of course I do! Nothing beats your food kaa-chan! Choji´s moms food and ramen are only second best in the world!" Naruto explained while panicking.
"Calm down. I know I´m not as good as Choji´s mom."
Naruto sighed in relief. "Thank god. I thought you were going to kill me for sure."
"I may not be as good as Chojis mom, but I´m pretty sure that I´m at least as good as those ramen chefs." Kurenai said. She had a sweet smile on her face but her tone wasn´t and it sent shivers down Naruto´s spine.
"Y-yes, o-of course k-kaa-chan." Naruto said. But he didn´t really mean it.
"Whats the fuss about?" Asuma asked as he came down from the bedrooms on the second floor wearing a dark blue, almost black kimono.
"Nothing that we´ll have to go over again right, Naru-chan?" Kurenai asked, she still had that smile and used the same creepy voice.
"R-right kaa-chan."
Asuma squinted his eyes at the weird conversation. "Anyway, time to go now?" he asked.
"I shall just get Naruto dressed." Kurenai said. She then started walking towards the stairs. "Aren´t you coming Naruto-kun?"
"I´m comin. I´m coming!"
Some time later, Akimichi compound.
Naruto, Asuma and Kurenai stood outside Chojis house, they had allready knocked and were waiting for someone to open the door. Asuma is wearing his new kimono, Kurenai a red dress that goes down to just above her knees and Naruto a pair of khaki pants and a white shirt. Some seconds later Chojis mom came and opened the door.
"Hello. Hello. Sorry for taking so long but I had to take the food out of the oven."
"It´s okey. It was only a couple of seconds. Besides it´s hot outside." Kurenai said.
"Thats not whats you said this morning." Naruto mutterd to himself.
"Come in, come in." Chojis mom ushered.
When they came in they were greeted to a big table full of food and people waiting for them. It´wasn´t just the regular group(Chojis and Shikamarus families), Ino, her mom and dad and Kiba and his big sister and mom were also sitting at the table. Kiba and Naruto started growling once they noticed each other.
"Mutt."
"Trash." That was their greeting. Naruto then went on and greeted the rest of the people. Kurenai, Asuma, Hana(Kibas sister) and Tsume(Kibas mom) all raised their eyebrows at the kids greeting. The rest of the dinner would continue like that with alot of bickering and name calling between Naruto and Kiba.
0000000000000000000000000
Thats that chapter. What do you think? I know it´s pretty boring and repetitive but I wanted you to get a feel of how strong Naruto is. Sorry for the abrupt end also. I had to end it there. If I were to write out the whole dinner then only god knows when I would have finished(no, I´m not christian or anything, I´m atheist). The next chapter probably wont take to long to write because I got school and everything under control now.
