Naruto growled. Jesus Christ! The academy is so boring! Who cares which clan the Shodaime Hokage was from? Nobody cares! When you're in a fight with someone, knowing 5 members from the Senju Clan isn't going to help you! Seriously! How the hell does knowing the Nidaime's main jutsu is the Flying Raijin going to help you? Oh I'm cornered by Shinobi. Let's sift through my memories for important information. Well, the Shodaime was from the Senju Clan. The Nidaime used Flying Raijin. Damn, with all this important information, I'm guaranteed to escape alive! Naruto groaned. Iruka was a good teacher, but his lectures were so boring. Naruto smiled inwardly. Well, at least I'm a shadow clone. Threatening that Jonin was a good move.

Naruto gasped as another heavy fist rammed into his rib. He internally winced as he felt something crack. He looked up and saw a kunai descending onto him. It ripped into his shoulder. Naruto was a little worried. This could be taken too far. The man in front of him whipped out his other kunai and smashed it into his other shoulder. Naruto grit his teeth and started gathering chakra. The man in front of him stood back to admire his handiwork. Naruto smirked. Fatal mistake. Naruto muttered something. The man leant in. "What was that demon? I'm afraid I didn't hear you over your screaming?" Naruto muttered it again. The man chuckled at his rather retarded joke and put his ear to Naruto's mouth. Naruto was rather tempted to bite down, but said it a little louder. "S-Shun.." The man was angry now. "Speak up demon!" The man jolted as a kunai was placed in front of his neck. A calm voice spoke. "I am afraid I wasn't talking loud enough. I said Shunshin no jutsu." The man gulped. Naruto continued. "You will give me your id and then, you will tell me if there is a jutsu that allows one to make a solid clone. Go." The man reached into his pocket. He whipped out a kunai and slashed at Naruto. However, when he tried to attack, Naruto had already teleported to the other side of the man and stabbed his arm. The man howled as he felt his left arm go limp. Naruto was rather irritated. "Do it!" The man sobbed. He gave Naruto his id. "Gaku Inuzuka. Jonin. Good thing you're drunk. If not, I have no doubt you would be at least twice as fast as me. Gaku, do you know a jutsu that makes a solid clone that has no element to it?" Gaku nodded. "T-The Shadow Clone jutsu." Naruto continued. "Very good. Now, write on a scroll how to do it." Gaku whimpered as he felt a needle jabbed into his arm. "This is a poison. It will kill you in 20 hours. If you give me real instructions, I will return in an hour and administer the antidote to you. Write." Gaku wrote the instructions down. Naruto continued. "Good. Stay here. I will be back if it is real." Naruto teleported away.

Naruto read the instructions. He groaned. He probably only had enough chakra for 20 or so clones. Compare that to his siblings who probably had enough for hundreds. Fortunately, Naruto only needed one. He imagined himself in his head. He divided his chakra and moved the chakra to become the shape of himself. It filled out the shape. From his hair to his toes. His very atoms were filled with chakra. He looked up to see a faded version of himself. More chakra. Naruto closed his eyes and repeated the steps with more chakra. He turned to the left to see a slightly more colored clone. Naruto closed his eyes and poured a load of chakra into his clone. The clone was very realistic. However, something was off. It was slightly discolored, shorter, thinner, no whiskers, and a faraway look. Naruto realized chakra wasn't the problem. It was the chakra coils. Naruto groaned. This was going to take a long time. And so, Naruto trained. Added more chakra. Too much. Decreased chakra. Too little. After this cycle repeated itself, Naruto finally found the right amount of chakra. Next. The whiskers. Naruto realized these whiskers weren't appearing because the way he made the chakra coils spin in the body was different from his own. Naruto spun the coils the other way. Whiskers appeared. Color. According to Gaku's explanation, he needed to put himself into it. Naruto frowned. What? Put himself? Naruto sighed. His eyes snapped open in realization. Emotions. Experiences. Memories. Those are what make me me. Naruto closed his eyes. Every beating. The hatred. The gratitude. The determination. The promises. Naruto poured all of that into the clone. Everything that made Naruto. The clone slowly opened it's eyes. "Hey." The clone smiled. "I am you." Naruto smiled. He dispelled the clone. Naruto fell to the ground gasping. His reserves weren't depleted, but it left a good dent in his reserves. Naruto groaned. Everytime I learn a new jutsu, this happens. I learn it in a night, but my reserves are almost depleted. Damn it! Naruto got up and opened his backpack and took out his other needle. Maybe I shouldn't give him the 'antidote'. Meh. I only injected him with water anyways.

Gaku was terrified. It was 19 hours. 59 minutes. 53 seconds. 7 … Gaku gulped 6… 5… 4 … 3… 2… Gaku mentally said goodbye to his family. 1… Gaku remained still for another 30 minutes. He opened one eye. He felt his wound. Something liquid was slowly trickling from his needle stab. He touched it with his finger and licked the substance with. His Inuzuka tastes could tell this was water. Gaku cursed. This brat had injected him with water! He had been played! He couldn't even trace the brat with the kunai because the brat used his own kunai against him! Damn him!

The real Naruto smiled. His shadow clone had just dispersed. He got the knowledge from today's lecture, and read about Fuinjutsu. He kinda understood the basis. Fuinjutsu was made from painted seals people make with chakra. People used it to add weight, store things, and to seal things. Well, they had a week long break starting tomorrow. Naruto hefted his scrolls and headed home.

Naruto entered the home. It was empty. He sighed. Minato and Kushina had left with Mito and Menma for Jiraiya's place. Naruto sighed. Unlike his parents, Naruto knew exactly why Jiraiya hated him. He had heard a conversation between Jiraiya and his parents. Jiraiya had explained how Naruto's chakra gave off a feel similar to Orochimaru. Naruto had tried to get close to Jiraiya, but Jiraiya just gave him cold stares. Naruto and Jiraiya had mutual dislike for each other. However, that was nothing compared to him and Tsunade. She absolutely loathed him. The feeling was returned. Naruto hefted his scrolls and went to the field where he had learned his Shunshin.

Naruto decided that he needed to increase his strength. His actual punches were rather weak. After examining himself, Naruto had learned multiple things. His speed was very high. His kunai and shuriken skills were incredible. His chakra control was amazing and his chakra reserves were smaller than his siblings, but were still rather large. His actual strength was rather low. What better way to improve his strength than increase the gravity on himself? Naruto read up on gravity. Ok, so I need to make my chakra heavier. I need to learn how to make seals. Naruto shaped his chakra. He formed his chakra into normal shapes first. Circles, Squares, Triangles, Dots, and Ovals. He made those smaller. Put chakra into it. First, he made a scroll and wrote his seal. He personalized it with his own chakra. It was time to try it. Naruto had conserved his chakra so he still had a good amount of chakra. Naruto placed his kunai on the scroll and made the Ram seal. The kunai disappeared. Naruto smiled. He put his hand on the scroll and pushed chakra into it. The kunai appeared. Naruto grinned in victory. He knew the basis of Fuinjutsu.

Naruto memorized the formula for chakra addition for a gravity seal. He closed his eyes and shaped the seal on his hand. He added his own twist and made it temporary. The gravity seal had 5 levels. Naruto closed his eyes and added chakra. Naruto was instantly crushed to the ground. Naruto screamed in pain. His previously broken ribs cracked again. Shit! I added too much chakra! I went straight to level 4! I need to reduce my chakra output! Naruto roared and reduced the gravity level to 0 again. He checked the amount of chakra he put in the seal. He divided that by 4 and put that much chakra into the seal. Naruto was forced to his knees. The pressure on his body was tremendous. Naruto rose to his feet trembling. Naruto spent the next 2 days trembling. He trained through raising his foot and keeping it in the air. When the 2nd day came around, Naruto could move around to the point of being slightly faster than the average civilian. However, Naruto constantly needed to add chakra to his spine to keep himself from being short. I need to train with this. I'll run around Konoha 10 times. Naruto gritted his teeth and pushed off with his feet. Every time his foot came up, he could feel the gravity push it back down. However, Naruto resisted. He pushed forward. On the 4th time around, Naruto was panting like a dog. On the 7th time around, Naruto was ready to collapse. Near the 9th time, Naruto was effectively dragging himself. At the 10th time, Naruto collapsed. He crawled. He felt Uchiha eyes on him. Byakugan stared at him. Nara eyes lazily wandered over him. When Naruto finally arrived back at his training place, he blacked out. He smiled internally as he started to pass out. I can feel myself getting stronger.

Naruto spent the rest of the week practicing Fuinjutsu. From gravity seals to storage seals to the basis for the Flying Raijin, Naruto worked throughout the week. He got to the point to where he could make a basic Flying Raijin Seal. It was his dad's type of seal and it just alerted his dad where the seal was. If he put it on someone, his dad would know where it was, what it was, and would be able to teleport to it. Naruto only had two more things to do.

Naruto was almost ready with his first personal seal. He placed it on his eyes. It disappeared. When he activated it, chakra was sent to his eyes and he would be able to see things slightly faster than a regular person would be able to. His second seal was a seal he put on someone. When he activated it, he could hear what the seal could hear. It was rather difficult to make, but what could he say? Even though he was more Namikaze than Uzumaki, most people with even slight Uzumaki blood were prodigies at sealing. Well, this was rather useful in most situations. He could bug someone very easily. Naruto smirked. I can use this on Mito and Shisui.

(Menma P.O.V.)
I was feeling rather happy today. I had beaten Sasuke in the test and Mito had agreed to go to the market with me. I thought it was a date, but she didn't. That reminded me of something else. Naruto. That caused me to frown. He said he was going to help me with Mito, but he might go overboard. He might just beat Mito to the point of death and then tell me to go and comfort Mito. I sat down with Kiba, Sasuke, Choji, and Shikamaru. We started off our lunch normally. Kiba would make a corny joke. Shikamaru would mutter something about it being troublesome. Choji would ask me for extra food. Sasuke would grunt. I would chat with them. That was until a deep voice interrupted. "Menma." I flinched as I recognized Naruto's voice. I felt a slight sensation of danger, but I pushed it to the side. "Yes?" Naruto continued. "Come." I looked up just to see his icy stare on Sasuke's deadly gaze. A flicker of recognition flashed through their eyes. I grabbed my lunch and stood up. I apologized to the group and went with Naruto. We went to sit at his personal table. He would normally kick out anyone who he didn't want. It was sort of a honor to sit with him in a weird sort of way. Naruto placed his hand on my ear. I flinched. Naruto explained. "I bugged Mito. I put a seal on her shoulder. We can both hear what she hears." I raised my eyebrow. That seemed a little advanced for someone not even out of the academy. We both pushed chakra into our seals. Mito's voice became clear in our heads. "Sakura… Ino… Hinata … I have something to tell you guys." We could make out squeals from Sakura and Ino and a gasp from Hinata. "Do you like someone? Oh my god! Tell us!" The chanting from Sakura and Ino was clear over the hearing seal. Mito took a breath. "Ok. I like ….. Kiba-kun!" The actual scream could be heard from here. Both Naruto and Menma winced from this. A somewhat insane grin creeped across Naruto's face. I winced. I knew of Naruto and Kiba's mutual dislike. "Naruto.." I warned. He grinned at me."Better get ready to comfort Mito. This is the perfect chance."

(Mito P.O.V.)
I couldn't believe it. I had just confessed my longtime crush. Ino and Sakura had screamed and Hinata had gasped. Sakura nudged us. "Look! It's Naruto" I turned around to see my brother's shadowy form stalk over to Kiba's table. Kiba glared at him. "Last time was a fluke. You want me to go for real?" Kiba's question was loud. Naruto had an insane grin on his face. He grabbed Kiba's shirt and lifted him up by the collar. "You want a piece of me! Huh?!" Naruto slammed Kiba against a pole. Naruto closed his eyes and muttered "Kai." Kiba threw a punch at him. Naruto caught it. Kiba tried to sweep Naruto's feet from under him. Naruto jumped up over Kiba's foot, and while he was still in the air, smashed his foot into Kiba's stomach. He propelled off of Kiba's stomach. Kiba coughed blood. He and Akamaru became 2 Kibas. Naruto grinned and made an unfamiliar hand seal. They both simultaneously screamed "Gatsuga!" Naruto was hit straight on from the front. This is why I love Kiba so much. His wildness. His love for animals. His power. However, Naruto poofed away. A different Naruto appeared behind the clone of one Kiba and hooked his arm around Kiba's neck. The other real Kiba growled at Naruto. "Stop it!" Naruto's grin widened and pulled harder. The other Kiba poofed into Akamaru. Naruto kicked him and stomped on Akamaru. I ran in front of Akamaru. "Stop it." Naruto's insane grin disappeared. It was replaced by his ice cold stare. I shivered. Between his insane grin, or stare, I would pick the insane grin every time. His mouth opened to hear a word I dreaded. "No." Naruto whipped out a kunai and raced toward me.

(Menma P.O.V.)
I saw Naruto sprint toward Mito. How was he so damn fast?! I pumped chakra through my feet. Just before his kunai could rip through her, I grabbed the hand with the kunai. His face was next to mine like when he punched my before. "Menma. Get out of the way." I grit my teeth. "No. She is our sister. You will not hurt her." Naruto was making his decision. "Very well. Take Mito out and I will continue to fight Kiba. If either of you interferes again, I will not hesitate again. Go." I shivered and grabbed Mito. I ran out of there, tugging her hand. She was crying into my jacket. "He's a monster! We need to tell Chichiue!" Around this time, the parents were starting to come and pick up the children. Kiba got up and threw another punch at him. Naruto ducked under it and smashed his shoulder into Kiba's ribs. Everyone could hear an audible crack. I winced. Naruto swept Kiba's feet from under him, and while Kiba was in the air, Naruto rammed his fist into Kiba's other rib. Kiba lay on the ground and caught Naruto's kick. Naruto ripped his foot out of the grasp, and smashed his foot into Kiba's face. "KIBA!" Hana, Kiba's sister, rushed in front of him. She whipped out a kunai. "Stay away from him!" Naruto's normal scowl disappeared. A serious expression surfaced and he whipped out a kunai. Naruto wasn't even out of the academy. Hana was on of the best Genin to ever emerge from the academy. They raced toward each other.

Hana feinted left, but raced right, trying to get behind Naruto. Naruto concentrated chakra behind his eyes and threw himself backwards. Hana raised her kunai and tried to attack. Stab. Parry. Thrust. Dodge. Slash. Block. Hana would attack, but Naruto would block. Naruto would then take the offensive, but Hana would parry somehow. This went on for a long time. At the end, they both were panting heavily. Naruto started to make Tiger. Hana barked and her 3 ninken came to her side. "Gatenga!" Hana and the dogs transformed into buzzsaws and raced toward Naruto. Hana was an inch away from Naruto. Naruto disappeared. She and the ninken came out of the buzzsaw transformation, and sniffed the air. One of the ninken fell to the ground with a yelp. Another ninken was hit in the neck, and crumpled to the ground, unconscious. A third ninken was smashed into the side of a tree. Hana looked around fearfully. Nobody had seen anyone do those actions. A hand grabbed her by the neck. Naruto appeared behind her, and smashed her into the ground. He kicked her face into the ground. Naruto turned to see that everyone was watching him."Any takers?! Weaklings want to face me?!" A sneer appeared on his face. "Nobody wants to?!"

Mito ran up and slapped him. The insane smile returned. He teleported out of here. Mito broke down crying. She grabbed my jacket. "Why is he so evil?! We need to tell Chichiue! He can't be allowed to continue like this! He almost killed Kiba and Hana! What the hell! That grin on his face isn't normal. He isn't normal! Every time I'm near him, I feel that I am going to die!" She grabbed me even harder. "I'm so lucky to have you, Menma. If you weren't here, I would have died." Naruto appeared in front of us. "Where is mother and father?" Mito sobbed even harder. I kept her away from him. "They are at Jiraiya's. They will come home in 4 days." Naruto grinned. "Good. See you around, Mito." Mito whimpered into my shirt.

Naruto was training in his normal field. His Shunshin jutsu was almost as fast as a real Shunshin jutsu. A silky voice interrupted his training. "Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Naruto turned around to see someone with glasses and silver hair. "Who might you be?" The other man pushed his glasses up. "Hello. I am Kabuto Yakushi. I would like it if you met a friend of mine. He has taken an interest in you." Naruto grinned. "Very well. Tell Orochimaru that I will meet him in 3 days at his base." Kabuto's eyes widened. "H-How did you… Nevermind. I will inform him." Naruto smiled. His full plot was almost coming to reality. I kinda like that guy. A bit sad that I bugged him earlier this week. I am going to use Orochimaru to take me out of the village. The timing is set up perfectly. Soon. Very Soon.
