(A/N)- Author Note to Readers
(A/N- Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and told me what they think it really helps my thought process for the future chapters of this story. I hope that you all enjoy reading this next chapter. I will now start responding to reviews so if you want to you can skip down to the part where the chapter begins. I have also edited chapter 2 and changed a few things that are important. What I changed is at the end and it isn't much just something that I thought would be better sorry to those of you who liked how it was before but I just think with it like this I'll be able to continue on writing the story easier.)
In response to Tensa-Zangetsu102: Go reread ending to chapter 2 I updated it and changed a few things.
In response to Coconut Walrus: First off thanks for your review really liked reading it I changed the ending to chapter 2 so go check that if you haven't already. As for the pairing while Temari does go well with Shikamaru I was actually thinking of pairing her with Naruto since she seems like a good strong woman character. And as for Shikamaru I'll think of what to do with him like pair him with someone else. Also as for what you said I could do with Naruto I actually thought of new ideas that involve a new Clone Jutsu and improving FTG that might come up in later chapters after he learns FTG that is which won't be for a while I think so thanks. Tell me what you think in your next review alright.
In response to gunslayer12: Like I said above changed chapter 2 go read new ending to find out about Kushina
In response to Arashi no Sennin: I changed some of chapter 2 just the ending so you should read that it's pretty important. As for the pairing I really like how you sold the idea for using Tenten and how she could have a doujutsu but I was really leaning toward Temari before that. So I might make it so Tenten is paired up with someone else like Sasuke since I liked him in the first part of Naruto and things are going to be different in my story and with your permission of course since you came up with it I would love to use your idea for her to have the Hawk bloodline. Tell me in your next review what you think.
In response to HoO Fan Wells: Thanks for reviewing again and as I have said above I have changed some of chapter 2. As for the pairing Ino was my original thought for Naruto but then I thought about it again and thought out of all the girls in the Chunnin Exams and in my opinion Temari was the strongest and smartest so unless I change my mind again before I get to writing the Chunnin Exams then I think it might be Temari. As for what you said about Naruto being more serious and probably not wanting someone who would rely on him for strength all the time I agree which is why he will be more serious (but there will be times where he will let loose of course) and that is also why I thought Temari would be a good pairing for Naruto since she is pretty strong even if she did lose her match to Shikamaru( I know she didn't really lose but in my mind it sort of counted as a lost since he would have won if he had not given up). I also agree with you on the fact that since Naruto will be different he will have a different impact on everyone in some way.
In response to Tracker-02: Thanks wasn't all too sure about what I said last chapter but for the purpose of this fic Naruto's blue fire will be hotter than any type of fire except for amaterasu which is the strongest. I do like the fact that they do burn longer.

Chapter 3: Hellish Training and Team 7
Naruto had just stepped outside of the Hokage's office when he quickly sealed the two scrolls that had belonged to his father in a plain looking scroll while thanking god that he at least knew basic sealing. As he made his way out of the tower he felt someone run into him and looked down to see a dark haired kid who had an extremely long scarf on the floor who looked rather angry at Naruto. Seeing that he was just a little kid Naruto decided to help him up and ask him why he was running around when he could trip or run into someone to which the boy responded that he was going to beat his grandfather the Hokage and then become Hokage himself. Hearing this Naruto just laughed at the ridiculous notion that a kid could beat a Kage level ninja.
"Hey what's so funny? My name is Konohamaro and I will become Hokage!" He yelled angrily that someone was laughing at his goal.
"Well Konohamaro I'm laughing because you're going about reaching your goal all wrong. Trust me I would now since I have the same dream so instead of trying to attack your grandpa you should ask him for help in training to be strong." Naruto finished as he walked toward the exit of the tower.
Finally outside of the tower Naruto made his way to the shopping district but not before doing a transformation jutsu to change his hair and eye color and hide his whisker marks so no one recognize him and treat him unfairly. Finally locating a store that sold clothing and tools for ninja Naruto walked inside made his way to the clothing section. Looking at the clothes he decided that he was going to go with darker colors opposed to the orange jumpsuit that he normally wore figuring that he would be able to blend in easier.
XXXXX 20 Minutes Later
Naruto walked out of the dressing room wearing dark blue pants with a with a hip pouch (A/N- not sure if it has a specific name or not) to store his scrolls and kunai inside and a holster on his left leg that held his shuriken, black shirt with the red Uzamaki swirl on the back, and black ninja sandals.
Now in his new outfit he walked up to the cashier and bought several of the same clothes that he was wearing. Finally done buying the clothes he stored them into the storage scroll he was carrying and put the scroll inside his hip pouch. He then ran to a secluded spot in the forest in which he was going to use to train.
"Naruto I want you to set up all of your kunai and shuriken exactly as I tell you"
"Ok but how is this supposed to help me train I already know how to set traps?" Naruto asked as he made shadow clones to help set up the kunai and shuriken exactly as the fox was telling him.
XXXXX 10 Minutes Later
"Okay so my clones set up enough kunai and shuriken to fire when set off for five complete minutes now what?" Naruto asked his tenant.
"Well now I thought it would be obvious you're going to set them off and dodge them for all five minutes." Kyuubi said seriously but he knew he was going to enjoy seeing this.
"What! Are you insane! What's this supposed to except for kill me!?"
"No I'm not insane. I saw how you looked at your father's scrolls but with your current level of speed and reaction timing there is absolutely no way you would be able to use either of those jutsus correctly. With this method of training I intend to force you to become faster"
"You're one sadistic bastard you know that!" Naruto thought as he purposely tripped the trap that began to rain kunai from a tree to which he reacted to by rolling to the side. Having to immediately move from his spot since shuriken burst from the bushes around him. Not being able to react fast enough Naruto got several cuts all over him and his only thought out all of this was "Shit I have to last a whole week of this bullshit! Crap can't get a second to breathe with all of these things firing at me"
XXXXX One Week Later Inside Academy Class Room
Naruto for once was on time to class since he didn't want to miss what team he was placed on him but he was currently asleep waiting for Iruka to arrive and assign the teams.
Now Naruto was completely different than he was before he was dressed different had a different attitude but that didn't mean he didn't like his sleep so when it was interrupted by two shouts of who was going to sit next Sasuke who he noticed he was currently sitting next to he became very annoyed.
"God if you have any mercy then please I beg of you keep those two idiots away from me I'm tired enough as it is." Naruto begged but his prayer was ignored as the two fan girls made his way toward him and started yelling at him.
"Ino-pig get the hell out my way I'm going to be the one to sit next Sasuke today not you!"
"In your dreams Sakura! Why would he want to sit next to you Forehead when he could sit next to me?!" Ino yelled back. This continued until they stopped in front of Naruto not even noticing the huge changes he had gone through.
Naruto you idiot this class is for those of us who passed!" yelled Sakura while pointing to the rest of the class "Not failures! Who can't even make clones now move so I can sit next to Sasuke!" she screeched while Ino just agreed with what her fellow fan girl said.
Recovering from the short loss of hearing Naruto looked over to Sasuke who gave him a look that said please make them leave to which Naruto being the nice person he was just nodded and turned back to the girls and grinned as he stood up "Sakura, Ino shut the fuck up right now especially you Sakura! God damn it I can't believe this village has resorted to having kunoichi such as you two! And for your information I did graduate why don't you open your eyes and look at my headband now go bother someone else!" Naruto yelled at them shocking the class as they all thought that Naruto liked Sakura.
Sasuke was the one shocked the most while he had silently asked that Naruto got rid of them he actually hadn't believed he would so when Naruto sat back down after making the two fan girls leave he muttered a thank you to which Naruto just responded it was fine since he wasn't sure if he could take any more of their yelling either.
It was at this moment that Iruka decided to enter the room and give them a boring speech about how they were just staring there ninja careers blah, blah, blah. "Now for the moment I'm sure you have all been waiting for team assignments. Team 1 will be… Naruto had zoned out all the way until he heard his name Team 7 will be Naruto Uzamaki, Sasuke Uchia, and Sakura Haruno who squealed really loudly that she was going to be Sasuke's team much to the boy's annoyance.
"Continuing on Team 8 will be… (A/N- All teams will be the same as canon so I'm going to skip ahead)
XXXXX 2 Hours Later Still Inside the Classroom
Naruto was sitting patiently meditating and talking with Kyuubi about his training schedule and how he had improved while Sakura was asking the last Uchia about going on a date with her to which he ignored. When a man with a mask covering the lower side of his face and his head band covering his left eye with gravity defying silver hair walked in the room "Yo. Meet me up on the roof in five minutes" and then disappeared in cloud of smoke.
At this Sakura and Sasuke walked out of the room as Naruto stayed back a little bit and then ran to the window and jumped out running up the wall reaching the roof faster than the other two who were surprised as to how he got there before them. Well Sasuke was Sakura was just thinking about going on a date with Sasuke. Kakashi who at the same time was reading his book wondered as to who had taught Naruto the wall climbing exercise.
"Okay now that were all here why don't we each tell a little about ourselves." Kakashi started off and then pointed at Sakura "You first."
"Um… Could you go first to show us how it's done?" Sakura asked causing the other three to all think the same thing "It's just introducing yourself. It's not that fucking hard to do."
"Fine well my name is Kakashi Hatake. I don't want to you to know my likes or dislikes. Dreams for the future... haven't really thought about it and as for hobbies I have lots of hobbies. Okay your turn." He finished as he again pointed towards Sakura.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. The thing I like is... well the person I like is… my Dream for the future …. My hobby is…." She said this the whole time looking at Sasuke who looked like he was getting ready to jump off the roof "What I hate is Naruto!" she yelled the last part but Naruto looked as though he was sleeping to the side which got a rise out of her and was about to attempt to hit him until he motioned for Sasuke to start.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha there are a lot of things I dislike and I don't really like much of anything. What I have isn't a dream but an ambition. To resurrect my clan and kill a certain man." Sasuke said in a serious voice causing everyone to have their own thoughts on what he said.
"So it's just like I thought he wants to be an avenger. I have to try to show him he doesn't have to it all himself."
"I wonder who he talking about… oh well since were teammates now if he wants to tell me he can but if not then I won't force it."
"Wow Sasuke is so cool!"
"Alright now for the last one you're up next kid." Kakashi said as he turned towards Naruto seeing that the description he had been given about him didn't match up at all.
"Okay, my name is Naruto Uzamaki I like ramen, Iruka-sensei, and old man Hokage. What I dislike are people who don't take some seriousness in their job as a ninja, people who judge others for what they can't control and those who underestimate me. My hobbies are eating ramen and training to become stronger than all the Hokage. My dream is to become Hokage and surpass my father and make him proud." Naruto said with determination in his eyes.
At this Kakashi was surprised that Naruto knew of his father and was proud that his sensei's son had grown up nicely. Sasuke was on the other hand was confused at hearing this because he had thought that Naruto was an orphan and just assumed that Naruto had finally found out who his father was.
Sakura on the other hand decided to voice her opinion "What are you talking about you idiot like you could become Hokage! Also you're an orphan you have no father and he was probably too ashamed of you as a son or at least that's what my mom's said!" Sakura yelled not noticing that everyone was letting out killer intent because of what she said. Kakashi was able to control it better since he was a jonin but he didn't like how she was talking about his sensei. Sasuke and Naruto on the other hand were not as good at controlling it but before Sasuke could even say anything about her knowing nothing and to shut up Naruto grabbed a kunai and threw it so it hit right beside her head "Talk about my dad like that again and I won't miss next time." was all Naruto said before he calmed himself down leaving a scared shitless Sakura looking at the kunai that could have ended her.
Seeing that they were for the most part all settled down he told them that they should meet him tomorrow at Team 7's training ground at seven for some survival training when Sasuke asked why they were having survival training. It was at this point that Kakashi started chuckling "He, he, he well to tell you the truth tomorrow you will be having a test to fight me and see if you are capable of becoming genin any who fail will be sent back to the academy. Oh and don't eat or else you'll throw up" and then Kakashi closed his book and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Once Kakashi was gone Naruto turned to his other teammates "I don't mind working with Sasuke at least he's strong but I'm not looking forward to working with the dumb pink bitch." "Okay since we have a test tomorrow we should get to know each other some more how about some ramen I'm buying." Naruto said to which Sasuke just nodded. Snapping out of her shock and hearing the question she almost yelled at Naruto until she saw Sasuke nod his head and follow Naruto and decided to follow Sasuke like a lost puppy.
XXXXX At The Ramen Shop
"So what did you want to know Naruto?" Sasuke asked as they all three sat down to eat at Ichirakus. Naruto then turned to him saying that they should order their food first before talking strategy to which all Sasuke was "fine I'll have two bowls of chicken ramen with tomatoes please." Seeing Ayame turn to him Naruto said "I'd like three bowls of miso ramen please"
As Ayame turned to Sakura she told Ayame that she didn't want any food and that she was on a diet. (A/N- So Stupid.)
Hearing this Naruto commented that what she said was stupid and that they should start talking about the next day. Sasuke agreed with this "okay while we wait for our food why don't you tell us what you wanted to talk about."
"I think that we should each eat breakfast tomorrow and arrive an hour late at the least." Naruto stated calmly"
"What are you talking about that's insubordination Naruto. And Sasuke and I will not be a part of it!" Sakura yelled before leaving and going home thinking that she was sure that Sasuke agreed with her
"So what's your answer Sasuke?"
"Alright but how do you know that Kakashi wasn't serious about what he said?"
"Simple he never said that it was an order so therefor it was simply a suggestion to get there on time and to not eat breakfast" Naruto stated as their food arrived making Sasuke smile at Naruto's logic which he noticed was right since Kakashi had never really ordered them to not eat breakfast and as for being on time if Kakashi hadn't shown up on time today who said he would tomorrow.
When they both finished their food Naruto was the first to speak "Oh hey Sasuke I know we didn't know each other that well in the academy but if we're going against a Jonin then our best option is to probably work as a team even if Sakura is worthless we want to show that we can at least use some teamwork."
"Fine but if you slow me down then the deal is off I already know that Sakura will slow us down but I hope that you'll do better" Sasuke said as he walked away towards the Uchiha district and at the same time Naruto was walking away towards his crappy apartment.
XXXXX Inside Naruto's Apartment
Naruto had just entered his apartment and laid down on his bed when he heard a growl and decided now was better than never "Okay Kyuubi what is it?"
"It's your new friend he's an Uchiha!"
"Yeah I know about how Madara is evil and we'll get him later when were stronger but for now Sasuke isn't like that he's not evil and he's a teammate so I figured that it would just be better to work with him like I work with you." Naruto said trying to get the fox to see it his way.
"Fine but don't blame me if he stabs you in the back! For now we'll trust him and prevent him from becoming another Madara but the problem is he has so much hate for someone it's crazy."
"I noticed it to and for now until he decides he can trust me than I won't try to pry into his life."
"Fine whatever you should get some sleep kid you've got a big fight tomorrow and you won't be releasing the gravity seals we put on you"
"Fine I wasn't going to any way after all tomorrow I'll be relying more on teamwork than just myself so there shouldn't be a need to release them." Naruto said as he cut the link between them and started to drift asleep.
XXXXX Training Field 7 at 8:00 a.m.
It was at around this time that Naruto and Sasuke arrived at the training field angering Sakura who had been there the whole time with no food. As Naruto greeted Sasuke he turned to Sakura "Well I told you but you just didn't listen and by the way me and Sasuke have both agreed that we're using teamwork for Kakashi's test it's your choice if you want to be a part of it or not." Naruto said not really caring what her answer was.
"Fine since it was my Sasuke's plan I'll work with you so what's my part?" Sakura asked making Naruto grin as he thought he found the perfect job for her that even she couldn't screw up although he was a little annoyed at her since it was his plan.
XXXXX Training Field 9:00 a.m.
Kakashi had just arrived when his ear drums were assaulted by the loudest screech he had ever heard "YOUR LATE!" Sakura had screeched making the rest of them loose their hearing for some time.
When Kakashi had finally recovered he began telling his genin how there were two bells and the one to not get a bell by noon would fail and be sent back to the academy. Expecting them to be worried he was surprised to see Naruto and Sasuke smirk and Sakura have a look of uncertainty.
Yelling go he watched as Naruto made seven Shadow clones of himself who all lunged at him while Sasuke was going through hand seals for a jutsu and Sakura was throwing kunai at him with terrible aim. Taking out two kunai he used one to destroy the clones and the other to deflect any kunai that made it close to him when he noticed that there was smoke all around him he heard Sasuke yell out "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu" and a giant ball of fire came at him through the smoke.
When the smoke cleared all they saw was a burnt log when Naruto heard a scream and saw get knocked out and Sasuke get pulled into the ground. Seeing as how he was the last one Naruto looked around trying to find Kakashi "Shit, shit, shit where is he…. Wait I got an idea!" "Shadow Clones Jutsu" Naruto yelled as four clones appeared around him when suddenly a hand appeared out of the ground trying to grab the originals ankle but Naruto had heard it and quickly jumped away with three of his clones while the fourth one ran over to Sasuke trying to get him out of the ground.
While the fourth clone was trying to help Sasuke out the original Naruto smirked as his sensei had finally come out of his hiding spot but that grinned quickly disappeared as Kakashi quickly ran over to Naruto and engaged in hand to hand combat. While Naruto's clone had been a help at the beginning they were now dispelled and Naruto was thanking Kyuubi for his training as he was now solely dodging Kakashi attacks due to his now faster reflexes.
Seeing Naruto able to dodge him at the speed he was going Kakashi decided to pick up the pace "Well Naruto I have to give you credit your faster than I thought but this where it ends" Kakashi said as he appeared behind Naruto and gave him a swift chop to the neck only for the Naruto that he had just hit to explode in to smoke. "How I could've sworn I was fighting the real one!" Kakashi thought as he looked over to Sasuke seeing him get out of the ground with the help of Naruto who just smirked at him which drove Kakashi mad to no end that he was being fooled by a genin no less.
"Heh thank god for Substitution right sensei?" Naruto asked making it clear that he had substituted with his clone that was helping Sasuke out and now they were both getting ready to attack again when the bell rang.
"That's too bad Naruto and you had developed such a good strategy but now time is up." Kakashi said as he once again pulled out his orange book and walked back to the clearing "oh and could one of you carry her back since she's still knocked out" pointing a finger at the unconscious body of Sakura. Hearing this Naruto made the smart move and ran towards Kakashi leaving Sasuke to mumble about annoying blondes and unfair punishments as he carried Sakura body back.
When they all got back Kakashi pretended to be angry at them but he was secretly happy that they managed to create some teamwork even if they didn't like their pink haired team mate who was now tied to the log post since Sasuke refused to carry her any longer. "Since none of you were able to get the bells I have one thing to say. You pass. Due to how you were able to formulate a plan to beat me with someone you both disliked and were able to create good team work. So meet here tomorrow when we start taking missions oh and tell her too" Kakashi said before he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Minutes later both Naruto and Sasuke left Sakura still tied to the post with a note stuck to her forehead that said they all passed and that they were supposed to meet here again tomorrow.
THE END
