The kunai whizzed past each other as the two Uchiha danced around the attack. Sharingan spinning wildly, Itachi flung his kunai. Shisui cursed as it slammed into his shoulder. Itachi smiled and flung his other kunai. It hit Shisui's other shoulder. Itachi teleported behind Shisui and reached for his kunai pocket. His eyes widened as he realized that there were 0 kunai left. Shisui looked up at him and smiled. The two kunai poofed into 2 clones of Shisui. They quickly grabbed Itachi's arm, and Shisui put his kunai against Itachi's neck. Itachi groaned. Shisui grinned. "It's ok. I'm older than you." Itachi smiled back. "True." Shisui face changed to serious. 'What should we do about the kid watching us?" Itachi frowned. "He is the Hokage's lesser known son." Shisui frowned. "Should we train him? He seems like a good kid." Itachi shook his head. "The Hokage might not appreciate that." Shisui smiled now and leaned in to whisper. " So Mikoto and Sasuke convinced Fugaku out of it?" Itachi smiled too. "Yeah! They made an agreement! They gave the Uchiha a higher seat of power and the Uchiha are moving closer to the village. However, the Uchiha need to be less strict and more welcoming to outsiders." Shisui leant in. " I have a secret." Itachi leant in. "What?" Shisui went back to serious. "I have the Mangekyou Sharingan. I gained it when Yochiro died. It comes at a great price. Don't ever try to get it. Promise me!" Itachi vowed so. Meanwhile, Naruto had moved close enough so that he could hear one thing. Mangekyou Sharingan. I need it. It must be mine! I need to be able to compete with the Kyuubi's power! I will be better than my siblings!

After 10 years, it was time. The Academy was waiting. Mito and Menma walked with Minato and Kushina. Mito was skipping like the over enthusiastic daughter. Menma was smiling like the cool older brother. Kushina was fussing over Mito like the overprotective mother. Minato was giving a pep talk to Menma like the chill dad. Naruto was already at the academy glaring at the door, like the irresponsible son. Naruto pointedly looked away when his parents came in through the door. Sasuke was behind them with Itachi guiding him. He stared at Sasuke. He had met him when Fugaku came over with Sasuke in tow to make peace talks with Minato. Sasuke and Naruto were acquaintances at best. When all the parents left, a nice man with a scar on his nose and a brown ponytail entered the room. "Hello! I am Iruka. Welcome to the Academy! We will start off today with a test that is just meant to determine where everybody is at. After that, we will have a taijutsu tournament. Just taijutsu! No ninjutsu. Ok? Let's go! First, we will do the kunai test." Iruka proceeded to go through all the children… "Sasuke Uchiha?" Screams resonated through the air. The Uchiha groaned and flung his kunai almost half heartedly at the targets. 10/10 on kunai. With his other hand, he flung his shuriken toward the other. 10/10 on shuriken. "Great! Menma Uzumaki Namikaze?" More girly screams resonated through the air. 10/10 on both. Cue the screaming. "Wow! Mito Uzumaki Namikaze?" Clearly male cheers ripped through the air. 10/10 on both. "Awesome! Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze?" The entire room was silent. The Hokage had another kid? Naruto grabbed his kunai and tossed them to toward to the target. 8/10 and 7/10. Iruka broke the silence. "Pretty good!" Naruto internally grinned. Deception is a shinobi's greatest weapon. Menma, Kiba, Sakura, Ino, and Mito came up to him with sneers on their faces. "Oi loser. Great job." Naruto stayed quiet. "Oi loser. You hear me?" Naruto was lost in his own world. I'll need to make a list of who had the Mangekyou Sharingan. Yeah, that'll- His thoughts were interrupted as Menma shoved him out of his seat. He stumbled for a second before steadying himself. "Yes?" Menma glared at him. "I said great job, Loser." Naruto was already bored. "Thanks." Menma was furious. He slammed his fist into Naruto's stomach. Naruto just looked up at him. The villagers had dealt him much worse. Naruto grabbed Menma's fist and pulled himself forward until his right ear was adjacent to Menma's left. He whispered to Menma. "I would suggest you leave me alone. I know of your … infatuation with your sister. Unless you would want that precious bond you have made with your sister to be destroyed, leave me to myself and I will do the same with you." Now, Naruto slammed his fist into Menma's stomach. Menma stumbled to the ground and coughed blood. Naruto stalked off. Naruto smiled to himself. Deception is a shinobi's greatest weapon, but blackmail is pretty good too. Mito rushed to him, tending to his wounds. Iruka didn't notice this. "Very good everyone! Now, let's start the tournament. First up …" Naruto sat down watching Menma beat his opponent. Mito humiliated her enemy. Sasuke was relentless in his beating. "Next! Kiba Inuzuka and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Cheers of "Kiba!" ripped through the Academy. Kiba grinned. He raced forward. Kiba thrust his right fist forward but withdrew at the last second hoping Naruto had fallen for the feint. Kiba spun around. The back of his right leg flew towards Naruto's head. It was met with air. Naruto had thrown his head back. Naruto grabbed Kiba's leg and used Kiba's momentum against him. He swung Kiba around him one more time, before smashing Kiba into the ground. Before Kiba could get up again, Naruto swung his leg into Kiba's head. He lifted Kiba by the collar and punched him out of the ring. Kiba crumpled to the ground, unconscious. The entire crowd was silent as Naruto stalked off. I shouldn't have been so open. I need to be more secretive.

That night Naruto tried to go to the library. They wouldn't allow him into the Shinobi section. Naruto thought to himself. I need to learn a jutsu that will hide my identity. What about the Henge? I know! I'll just ask Iruka! I need to learn how to sneak into places and possibly into the Uchiha compound.

The next day, Naruto was busy trying to get most of the gang to stop bothering him. Menma had stopped bothering Naruto. In fact, he seemed to have some sort of new found respect for Naruto. Naruto endured it. At the end of the day, everyone had left the class except for Naruto and Iruka. Iruka looked up from his work. "Yes, Naruto?" Naruto smiled."Um … Could you please teach me the Henge?" Iruka smiled "Sure! Basically, you need to maintain a steady flow of chakra and use it to change your chakra into the shape you want to become! Your chakra will naturally fill the gaps of the shape you made." Naruto closed his eyes. He reached inside himself. There! Naruto's hair turned half brown. His eyes became less blue. Not enough! More! I need more! His hair shifted until it was almost brown. His eyes were practically black. Practically. Naruto growled. "I'm sorry. Could I go and practice this somewhere else?" Iruka went back to his papers. "Ok. See you!" Naruto waved goodbye.

He arrived at his training place. He started to meditate. Pulling the chakra from the depths of his being. He could feel it. Raging beneath his exterior. He roared and pulled it out. It was coming off of him in waves. Ripping his clothes. Tearing at the ground around him. He retreated into his mind focused his mental image. A 5 foot tall, brown haired, black eyed, Genin. Iruzaka Ryuzika was his fake identity. Graduated slightly above the average. The most ordinary child. He probably wouldn't advance past Chunin. Naruto could only describe his henge as one thing. Terrible. Any ninja who saw him would know he was a fake. He was too regular. He needed to change him. He needed some quirks to add. If a ninja saw a human who was perfectly normal and had no hobbies, they would know it was a Henge. The perfect Henge was mostly normal, but had some quirks. He adjusted the hair a little. Crinkled the uniform a bit. Put a scar on the arm. Changed the face a little. Made the face unsymmetrical. There! It was perfect! A normal person with some problems. Decently handsome. Living some unassuming life. He glanced up at the sky. What!? It was 5 a.m. already? He collapsed to his knees, breathing heavily. Blood leaked from his mouth. He had severe chakra exhaustion. Naruto rolled over. The adrenaline had worn off. He hadn't realized that he had been working the entire night. He groaned. I am so fucked at the academy. He treaded over toward the academy.

Iruka smiled over his class. The whole class was there. Barring Naruto. The door slid open, revealing a carbon copy of the Hokage. He had mud on his clothes. Grass was stuck to his hair. His black shirt and orange pants were torn and ripped. Bags under his bright blue eyes. Dried blood on his mouth. Dirt on his whiskers. Naruto made his way over to his desk. He collapsed the moment he sat down. Iruka groaned. "Naruto! " Naruto looked up sleepily. "Do I need to send you home for the day? You don't look ok." Naruto snapped awake at the mention of home. "No. I am perfectly fine. Thank you for the concern." Iruka groaned again. "Ok. We will teach the Henge today and then another Taijutsu competition. Let's go!" … Iruka let all the kids try the Henge. Naruto stepped up and became a perfect copy of Menma. "Very good everyone!" The Taijutsu tournament started. Naruto didn't hold back today. He barreled through Kiba and Shikamaru... "Next! Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze vs Sasuke Uchiha!"

They narrowed their eyes at each other. Sasuke rushed forward. Naruto's eyes widened. Sasuke was faster than he realized. Sasuke swung his right fist at Naruto. Naruto blocked it with his left forearm. Naruto blinked. I can feel the hate in his blows. Sasuke moved his left foot and swept Naruto's feet from under him. Naruto flipped over and put his hands on the ground making a perfect handstand. Now, Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw what Naruto was going to do. He put his arms above his head and winced as Naruto rammed his foot against Sasuke's forearms. Sasuke was taken aback. He loathes someone. I can tell from his attacks. Naruto pushed up with his hands and put some distance between them by flipping backward. Sasuke flew forward and smashed his fist into Naruto's stomach. The pure resentment in Sasuke's blows is almost palpable. Naruto winced and locked his right arm around Sasuke's knees. He heaved up and Sasuke toppled to the ground. Sasuke tried to kick Naruto, but Naruto grabbed his leg. Sasuke got up on his other leg and jumped at Naruto. Naruto tried to put some distance between them, but Sasuke had hooked his leg around Naruto's back. Sasuke smashed his fist into Naruto's face. Naruto flew out of the ring. They were both panting heavily. Iruka stared open mouthed at the taijutsu fight he had just seen. " V- Very good. Next …"
Naruto groaned on the outside. I thought I would have to hold back, but he got me. On the inside, he smiled. I believe I have met a similar person, He started to get up, just to see a pale hand extended towards him. Naruto looked up to see his enemy. Sasuke. He accepted the hand and hauled himself up. They stared at each other for a moment. They both thought the exact same thing. He is like me.

After the day's fiasco, Naruto didn't go home. He walked past his family chattering at the dinner table. Past the ramen bar he usually goes to. Past the Uchiha compound. Past the Hyuuga compound. Finally, he reached it. The library. He went into the bushes near it and closed his eyes. "Henge!" A young, relatively tall, brown haired, black eyed, genin came out. He walked up to the desk with a swagger in his steps. "Hello! I am Iruzaka Ryuzika! I would like to go into the Shinobi section of the library. I just became Genin. Here's my id." The young librarian smiled at him. "Not id needed. Just go right through that door." 'Iruzaka' grinned and sauntered through the door. He looked around suspiciously and stepped toward the clan history section. He packed up the books with details of the history of the Uchiha Clan, Senju Clan, Fuinjutsu, Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu and Ninjutsu. He also grabbed some on Genjutsu. He decided that was enough for now, and went to the check in counter. He rented all the books. Phew! She didn't suspect me! That means my henge is good enough. Oh. That's right. I need to tell my parents where I am going for Spring Break. I'll just tell them I am going camping! They will probably go camping too. He stalked into his house. He saw Menma trying to get on the good side of Mito. He saw Minato reading the newspaper. "Hello Father." Minato barely looked up from the article. "Yes?" Naruto scowled slightly. "I would just like to tell you that I am going to go camping for the spring break." Minato wasn't even paying any attention. "Ok. Go have a good time on your playdate." Naruto sighed. I said camping but you heard playdate. Dumb fuck. Naruto grabbed a blanket and his wallet. He stalked off to his training site. Ok! I'll start off with the Senju. So he read. Read of the battles between Hashirama, Madara, Tobirama, and Izuna. Tobirama. Tobirama made many jutsu including the Kage Bunshin jutsu, Flying Raijin jutsu, and Impure World Reincarnation. This peaked Naruto's interest. 2 Hokages used this Flying Raijin jutsu! It must be good! Kage Bunshin sounded pretty good too. I don't know about something that has impure in it's name. Nah that's boring. Naruto continued to read. Both Izuna and Madara could stand up against Tobirama and Hashirama. The Sharingan is powerful, but not that powerful. No regular Sharingan could stand up against the Wood Release or Tobirama's insane jutsu list. That must be the Mangekyou Sharingan that those 2 Uchiha were talking about! Naruto continued even farther. Tobirama wrote that he killed Izuna Uchiha. After that Hashirama and Madara battled again. Madara was more powerful than before. Rumors are that he took Izuna's eyes. Naruto gasped at this. Both Madara and Izuna must have had the Mangekyou Sharingan! Then Izuna died and Madara took his eyes! Madara got a lot stronger. That means that if a Mangekyou Sharingan is traded with another, they will get a different more powerful Mangekyou Sharingan. The fast one has the Mangekyou Sharingan! If someone else has the Mangekyou Sharingan, they could get the other, more powerful Mangekyou Sharingan by stealing his eyes! I need 2 Mangekyou! Naruto growled. He moved on to how Uchiha's awakened their Sharingan. I see! If they experience a tragic event, they will gain another tomoe! If they experience one tragedy, they will have one tomoe. If they experience two tragedies, they will have 2 tomoe. If they experience 3 tragedies, they will get 3 tomoe which is the maximum. Therefore, 4 tragedies will make a Mangekyou! People who have experienced the most tragedy will have the Mangekyou Sharingan. The oldest, or most experienced fighters will have the Mangekyou Sharingan. Fugaku Uchiha is the clan head and is very experienced. He is also old and has had multiple friends die next to him. There is a possibility that he has it. Since the fast one has it, the other one might. That is very important for my plans. I think this could be as powerful as the Kyuubi.

Naruto read about Shurikenjutsu. Ok, so I need to use my wrist more. I could have gotten a 10/10 on both at the academy, but that's not enough. And so, Naruto trained more. And more. He practiced his Shuriken. He used the last of his money to buy boxes of shuriken. They were flung across the meadow. On the first day, Naruto got about half of them in the target. On the second day, about 60% of the shuriken got on the target. Naruto's wrists became red and scratched. He lost his voice from dehydration. He trained for 8 hours a day. Multiple times, he collapsed on the ground. He pulled all nighters on several occasions. He was lost in his own world. Kunai were embedded into the target. Almost 80% of all his throws hit. His fingers were numb. His arms hung uselessly at his sides. He opened his mouth, but no sound emerged from his raw, dehydrated throat. He focused himself for one last test. Out of 100 kunai, he got 96 kunai in the bullseye. He decided he actually needed to read a bit. About three all nighters went by. He hadn't eaten very much. Naruto was pretty sure that he needed water. That didn't matter. He could get along without it. Naruto smiled. He had mastered using chakra to speed himself up. He had also learned the theory of the Shunshin He had finished pumping chakra into his feet so that he could run faster. He struggled to the pond. He took gulps of water. He rolled over on his back and smiled. It is possible that I have been training too much. Anyways, I should do my final kunai test. Out of 100 kunai, how many can I make? I need to know! Naruto jumped to his feet. His icy stare concentrated on the target. He reached into his back pocket. Faster than most Chunin, his arm lashed out and kunai whipped through the air. Thunk. Naruto smiled. One hand could hold 4 kunai at once. He had 8 kunai at the dead center. Naruto grinned. This could be good training! He could test his kunai by throwing it at the target. Then, he could test his speed by seeing how fast he could go and retrieve the kunai. The target was about 50 meters away. If he got there in 5 seconds with chakra, then he was running at 36 kilometers per hour or about 22 miles per hour. Naruto grimaced. He needed to be faster. He reached into his backpack. His arm lashed out and kunai landed dead center. He started sprinting and counting in his head. He infused chakra into his leaps. 1… Naruto had gone about ⅕ of the field. 2… Naruto added more chakra. ⅗ of the field was behind him. 3… Naruto added more chakra that circulated around his body. The chakra coursed through his veins and coils. Naruto whizzed past the target and smashed into a tree which broke in half. He gasped as he felt his forearm break. He looked behind him at the broken tree falling over in slow motion. He could only think one thing. Shunshin no jutsu! Naruto came to a stop about 150 meters away in about 3 seconds. His arm hung at his side. Naruto smirked. How fast I've gotten. How fast…

Naruto arrived home the next day. He went straight to his room and recounted his skills. Ok, my shuriken and kunai accuracy is amazing. I've learned how to pump chakra through my feet and I can do a slower Shunshin jutsu that goes about half as fast as the real one for less chakra. I've learned that the Mangekyou Sharingan can be completed by another one. Pretty good for someone who is not even a genin. However, I need to get the Flying Raijin no jutsu and the blue orb my dad made. I saw Menma and Mito doing it.

He was interrupted from his thoughts as a knock came from his bedroom door. He was instantly on guard. One of those pesky villagers? Family? What?! Naruto glared at the door before inhaling and calling out a soft, "Come in." The door opened. Menma came in looking a bit nervous. "H-Hey Naruto." Naruto groaned. "I thought I told you if you bothered me, I would expose you to the whole village, our parents, and worse," Naruto lowered his icy glare on Menma, "Mito." Menma cringed. "I know! I just," Menma inhaled, " I just wanted to ask for help." Naruto almost choked on his own saliva. "W-What?! Ask me? Why me?! I literally want to" Naruto caught himself." Never mind." Menma looked at him weirdly. "I wanted to ask you for help with Mito. You are the only person other than me who knows about my c-crush. Anyone else would think I am a freak." Naruto narrowed his eyes. "I do too." Menma flinched. Naruto continued. "However, in many clans, incest is very common. Why do you think all Uchiha members have black hair and the Sharingan? Or all Nara members have similar tendencies? All Uzumakis have red hair. You are clearly an Uzumaki from your appearances and Mito is as well. I am a Namikaze from my appearances. If the Uzumaki Clan wants to grow again, then it is obvious that you and Mito should marry or procreate." Menma looked surprised. "O-Oh. Ok, so this is going to sound kind of weird. I want you to get on Mito's bad side so that I can comfort her." Naruto almost laughed. "I'm already on this family's bad side. You want me to get on the bad side of the only member in this family who doesn't hate me? You probably hate me the most." Menma winced. "I know I wasn't the best brother, but I only disliked you because you scared our parents." Naruto was silent. "Fine. I'll help you with your retarded plan. Leave." Menma turned away. When he was almost at the door, he turned back and gave a gentle smile. "Thank you. Thank you Naruto." As he left the room, he didn't notice tears streaming down Naruto's face. Thank you Menma. Thank you too.

The End
Phew! That was really tiring. I'm sorry for not posting on Thursday, but I needed to make sure this chapter was as good as I could make it! I'm going to address something now. 1st: Naruto was reading Tobirama's book. It had his notes on the Sharingan. Tobirama would notice that if he killed one Uchiha, another Uchiha close to him would grow stronger. Naruto made an inference that Mangekyou + Mangekyou = Eternal Mangekyou. Shisui had a Mangekyou and Fugaku had a Mangekyou too. Before you say that only brothers can use each other Mangekyou, I have a plan for that. Naruto's jutsu list goes Henge, Kawarimi, and Shunshin. Naruto's Shunshin is about half as fast as a real Shunshin. 150 meters in 3 secs. That is 50 meters per second. Or 180 kilometers per second. 2nd: Naruto is still a kid who desires his parent's or sibling's love. He hates Kushina first. She betrayed him with the Clan Head fiasco. He is reconciling with Menma. He is regular towards Mito and has respect for Minato. Menma's thank you means a lot to him. 3rd: Naruto's kunai and shuriken skills are about high Chunin level. 4th: Naruto and Sasuke will become friends or at least sparring partners. Next chapter, some serious drama is going to go down! Can't tell you a lot though.
