Now i am going to say i make no promises for steady or even predictable updates with this story i am sorry but my brain doesn't work like a normal persons
I do not own Naruto
Naruto sat in the back corner of the academy class he had been in for the last five years. Now fifteen Naruto was taking the genin exams with the rest of his class today and as usual Naruto sat alone in the back corner of the class waiting for Iruka to show to start the exams. Naruto wore what he did on the first day of the academy but now in addition to his mother's sword he had a second one. Now both swords were attached to Naruto's back in an X shape under his gourd of sand. The second sword was in a midnight black sheathe with golden edging as well as a red Uzumaki swirl in the centre of it along with a glowing chain on it, this second sword was called the Shadow Star and the sword was sentient. The sword itself was a manifestation of Naruto's mother Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto found part of his mother's soul in the seal holding back his three beasts he managed to extract the portion of soul from the seal without damaging the seal. Kushina had limited time once her soul was removed from the seal, Naruto being adept at forging weapons had a spare katana he had forged and working quickly Naruto sealed his mother's soul into the sword saving Kushina. So now Naruto had his mother along with three great daemons inside his mind. The Shadow Star was a weapon with a midnight black hilt but the blade was an azure blue, it could shot chakra chains from anywhere on the weapon, could conduct most chakra and most importantly could only be wielded by those deemed worthy by Kushina. Currently there were only two worthy wielders Naruto and Tenten, Sasuke had tried to steal Shadow Star only for the blade to burn Sasuke's hand and shoot a chain out of the blade forcing Sasuke to continue to hold the burning blade until Naruto removed it himself. Sasuke still hadn't gotten over it.
Iruka walked into the room
"Alright everyone today's the day the genin exams" spoke Iruka as he started to hand out tests
"The Exam is split into three sections, a written section that you will complete now, a weapons portion to see your skill with kunai and shuriken and finally a ninjutsu portion where you will be asked to perform a jutsu in front of the instructors" said Iruka
"Wait that's it?" questioned Kushina
"It's so the civilian kids can live their parents dreams of being ninja" said Naruto mentally
"That's fucking crazy and you know that's true when it's coming from me" came the voice of the crazy one tailed Tanuki Shukaku. Naruto was so engrossed in the conversation with his tenants that he missed Iruka put the test on his desk
"Alright everyone turn over and begin" said Iruka drawing Naruto out of his conversation with his tenants
"Um Naruto you are aware there is a genjutsu placed on the test aren't you?" questioned Goku
"Yes Goku I know" said Naruto
"Just thought I should check you have made mistakes like that in the past" spoke Goku
"Thanks" thought Naruto as he broke the genjutsu and started to answer the questions on the paper
After the written test the class had a break while Iruka marked the tests Naruto sat alone in a tree and ate an apple masking his presence to anything short of the Hokage or Anko and Yugao, once Iruka marked the tests everyone moved onto the weapon proficiency test. The lowest score belonged to Sakura with a 3 with Kunai and a 2 with Shuriken while the highest was Sasuke Uchiha with 10 for kunai and 9 for shuriken, Naruto purposely got a 7 with both just like her purposely scored exactly 75% on the written exam. The final test was a jutsu test and everyone was asked to perform a clone jutsu and create at least three good clones, Naruto being unable to use basic clone jutsus used a shadow clone creating two enough for him to pass given the difficulty of the jutsu
Once the tests had been completed Iruka called all the graduates strangely the whole class into the classroom
"Alright everyone you are expected to be here tomorrow at nine 'oclock for team placements" said Iruka everyone nodding
"Now I have an announcement to make" said Iruka everyone broke out into whispers before their attention was drawn back to Iruka with a fake cough
"The rookie of the year this year is" said Iruka taking a pause for dramatic effect not that it really mattered to anyone with half a brain who had already figured it out
"Sasuke Uchiha" said Iruka
"Suck that Dobe" said Sasuke turning to Naruto who was busy examining Shadow star
"Oi listen to me when I'm talking to you" ordered Sasuke Naruto flicked his katana out to the side as if flicking something off it before he re-sheathed it and turned to Iruka
"Sensei can we go now?" asked Naruto
"Don't ignore Sasuke-Kun you loser" said Sakura
"Yes everyone is dismissed" said Iruka before Sakura or Sasuke could yell at Naruto he was already gone a swirl of sand
Naruto was now in the shopping district of Konoha to be specific he was outside a weapon shop Tenten worked at own by her adopted father Jutan Higarashi. Naruto entered the store a bell signalling his entrance
"Ah Naruto wondered when I'd see you again" said Jutan from behind the counter
"Yeah well have you seen Tenten around I requested a custom made sword she said she'd take a crack at making" said Naruto
"Ah so that's what she's been working on for the last week" said Jutan
"Yeah what she didn't tell you?" questioned Naruto
"Oh she told me but not specifically who it was for" said Jutan looking at Naruto with a studying gaze for a moment
"Yes well have you seen her?" asked Naruto fidgeting under the man's gaze
"I think she's downstairs let me go get her" said Jutan walking away from the counter and into a back room. He returned a few moments later with Tenten in tow she had in her hands a sword in a black sheathe with a golden handle the sheathe had silver edging to it along with a gold Uzumaki spiral in the centre
"Hey Ten-Chan" said Naruto as Tenten approached
"Hi Naru-kun" said Tenten as she walked out from behind the counter
"So here's the sword" said Tenten handing Naruto the sword, Naruto un-sheathed the blade ever so slightly enough that he could see the purple metal the blade was made from
"Like you requested chakra conducting for any kind of chakra, purple coloured metal" said Tenten
"Is there some place I could quickly test it?" asked Naruto
"Yes follow me" said Tenten leading him out the back of the store getting a wink from her father as she did, once outside Naruto saw it looked almost like a small training ground there were training dummies, weights and targets perfect for an aspiring weapon's expert.
Naruto looked at Tenten before grabbing his new blade and walking forwards to a training dummy, fully drawing the purple blade. Once the blade was out of the sheathe Naruto bolted towards one training dummy slicing and slashing at it before skidding to a stop the other side of the dummy and re-sheathing the blade. Tenten looked on curiously as Naruto slowly put the blade back in its sheathe. A 'click' was heard signalling the blade was fully re-sheathed and then to Tenten's surprize the training dummy Naruto had attacked fell to pieces. Naruto turned to Tenten with a smirk
"Excellent" said Naruto before he stood up and walked over to Tenten who was smiling
"Well what do you think?" questioned Tenten
"It's perfect Ten-Chan" said Naruto lightly kissing Tenten on the cheek making her blush
"Thank you" said Naruto
"You never did tell me what you need a third sword for" said Tenten
"You'll see all in good time my dear" said Naruto with a smirk
"You're no fun Naru-Kun" said Tenten pouting
"You will see but not now" said Naruto
"Fine" said Tenten the duo went back inside and Naruto paid for his sword and left going home
#Next day at the academy#
Naruto again sat alone in the back corner of the classroom waiting for Iruka to show up. He now had all three swords strapped to his waist and was observing the class trying to work out who his team would be
"It won't be Sasuke or Sakura I made damn sure of that" thought Naruto
"It won't be the Yamanaka the Nara or the Akimichi" said Kushina
"I'm fairly sure it won't be any of the civilian children otherwise the parents would complain to the Hokage" said Goku
"That leaves Hinata, Kiba, Shino and Sai" thought Naruto who was soon to get his answers as Iruka walked thought the door holding a clipboard
"Alright everyone listen up cause I'm only telling you your teams once" said Iruka
"Team oneā¦" said Iruka Naruto zoned out until his name was called or something interesting happened
"HA SUCK THAT INO-PIG TRUE LOVE CONCURS ALL" screeched Sakura after Iruka revealed team seven to be Sasuke, Sai and Sakura
"Sakura SHUT UP" yelled Naruto leaking some of his KI enough to frighten her
"Thank you Naruto" said Iruka Naruto then stopped leaking his KI and Iruka continued reading out teams
"Alright team eight Shino, Hinata and Kiba" said Iruka
"Finally Team ten Ino, Shikamaru and Choji" said Iruka
"Iruka sensei?" questioned Naruto raising his hand
"Yes Naruto?" questioned Iruka looking at Naruto
"What about me you didn't call my name?" questioned Naruto
"No one cares about you Naruto-Baka" said Sakura before a glowing chain shot out of the desk behind Sakura and wrapped around her neck chocking her
"Naruto stop that this instant" ordered Iruka
"It's not me" said Naruto jumping up holding his hands in a defensive position
"You're the only one in the class who can use Chakra chains" said Iruka
"Mum stop it you're getting me in trouble" thought Naruto
"That bitch disserves it though" said Kushina
"I know but stop it" thought Naruto as he said this; the chain disappeared from around Sakura's neck
There were a few moments of silence
"Iruka sensei you didn't answer my question" said Naruto
"Oh right sorry" said Iruka before looking down at the clipboard
"It says here you need to report to the Hokage's office" said Iruka
"Ok then bye" said Naruto disappearing in a swirl of sand appearing just outside the tower. Naruto walked in and up to the Hokage's office where he knocked on the door
"Enter" said Hiruzen from the other side of the door, Naruto entered the room to see Hiruzen there and to his left was Yugao
"Ah Naruto there you are" said Hiruzen
"I was told by Iruka-sensei to come here" said Naruto
"That's right Naruto as you may have worked out you don't have a team" said Hiruzen making Naruto's happiness deflate a little bit
"But Naruto that is because I'm taking you on as my full time apprentice" said Yugao
"What really sensei?" questioned Naruto looking at Yugao getting a nod from the woman
"AWESOME" yelled Naruto jumping for joy
"Now Naruto there is another reason I called you here" said Hiruzen
"Something else old man?" questioned Naruto
"Yes this isn't to do with becoming genin or anything this is about your clan" said Hiruzen instantly gaining Naruto's full attention
"Well as you are aware you are the last known member of the Uzumaki clan" said Hiruzen getting a nod from Naruto
"As such there is something you must do for your clan and the village" said Hiruzen
"What's that old man?" questioned Naruto
"Naruto my boy tell me what do you know of the C.R.A?" questioned Hiruzen
