A/N: Well I'm back with chapter 4 and you may have noticed that the pairing has been a changed. I will explain more about that at the bottom anyway on with the chapter.

Naruto walked down the streets of Konoha on his way to the academy. He was finally going to go back to the academy after his trip through time. During the last 6 months he had been sending a shadow clone in his place while he had been training with his 3 sensei. He and his sensei had decided that it would be best if Naruto actually past the test this time and let Mizuki get caught by the ANBU.

During the six months he had finally got a change of clothes and much to his disappointment there was no orange but he knew it was for the best as it would only get him caught by the enemy. He now wore a mesh armour t-shirt with a black sleeveless hoodie with red outlines on the sleeves and a red hood over it, along with dark green 3 quarter length shorts held up by a black belt with a silver buckle, which if you looked closer at you would see seals drawn on it, and finally a set of black ninja sandals. There was two more addition to the outfit which was a large red metal box of some kind attached to his back and two metal rings on his index and ring finger on his right hand.

The Box was his new weapon that he had been working on and by Kami it was a pain in the ass to make but it was worth it in the end as it was very powerful and he was one of the few in the world to be able to use it. The Rings were a gift from his sensei that he had to wear unless he was in a dire situation while they looked like 2 plain metal rings that were inscribed with seals that were used to suppress his chakra to about 25% which was more than an average Jōnin reserve because of the whole 'I'm the jinchūriki of the nine Bijū' his reverses had sky rocketed. So to make learning, or in this case relearning, Chakra control easier they had to seal away the majority of him chakra.

Coming out of his musing Naruto found himself in front of the academy. It had so long since he had been here.

'The last time I was here was probably the Chūnin Exams.' Naruto thought to himself.

Naruto opened the door to his classroom and saw many familiar faces of course they looked younger than he remembered. He saw the entire Rookie nine minus Ino and Sakura but that was to be expected they always seemed to be the last into the class. Though he didn't know why because they always fought over who would sit next to the Sasuke. That reminded him not to sit next to the Uchiha one because he didn't want to anger the girls, hey a girls strength seems to times by ten when you anger them and he didn't want that, and two he really didn't want to have a repeat of the SANAK (1) incident. Just thinking of what happen caused a small shiver to go up his spine.

Naruto decided he would sit next to Chōji and Shikamaru. When he sat down Shikamaru turned to him and looked him over noticing the new look before putting his head on his crossed arms and going back to sleep.

"Hey Naruto, What's with the new look?" Asked Chōji seeing his friends' new appearance.

"Hey Choji, I decided to get clothes that suit being a ninja better than my orange jumpsuit." Naruto replied.

'Oh, sure your decision, it wasn't like we had to force you or anything.' Came the voice of Matatabi from inside his head.

Just then everyone started to hear loud footsteps and the male half of the class groaned knowing what it was.

"Ha, I'll first Ino-Pig so I get to sit next to Sasuke-Kun." Yelled a certain pink haired Ninja to be as she burst thought the door with another platinum blond girl called Ino.

"No way I though the door first." Ino yelled back at Sakura as they started to move towards the Uchiha.

"Hey, why don't you use your eyes because you'll see that there's two sits next to Sasuke so just get his to move to the mid sit and you can both sit down." Everyone's head snapped towards the source of the voice to see Naruto was the one to talk. Several jaws dropped at seeing this because as far as they knew Naruto had a massive crush on Sakura but where proven wrong. Sasuke at finally noticing the blond raised an eyebrow at seeing his new look and the box on his back.

"Dope what's with the box?" Sasuke asked from across the room drawing the attention to him seeing as he had actually talked instead of staring out the window.

"That's for me to know and for you not to find out." Naruto stated as he put a hand on his weapon that was still attached to his back.

"Hn." Was the Uchiha's response.

Just then Iruka walked in to the class room with a clipboard which Naruto knew held the team placements. Naruto didn't really care because he didn't need to be told he was on Team 7.

"As of today you are all ninja's to get here you face difficult trails and hardships. But that's nothing but what comes next will be far more difficult. Right now you are only Genin all of you will be put into 3 man squads under a Jōnin. We want all the squads to have a balance in abilities and that is how you will be grouped. I will now announce the squads." Iruka then continued to announce squads 1 through 6.

"Squad 7," Naruto perked up upon hearing this, "Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Sai,"

'EH?' Was the mental shout of Naruto, 'What is Jiji doing he knows I meant to be in squad 7 and what about Kakashi-sensei what's his excuse for this.' While Naruto was thinking about what Hiruzen was doing Iruka had finished announcing the teams.

"Iruka-sensei what about Naruto doesn't he have a team?" Question Shikamaru from his seat.

"Ah yes Naruto I have a note here to tell you to go to the Hokage's office." Iruka said. This comment started whisperings around the class that were about Naruto being a failure and not getting a team. Naruto slowly rose from his seat and walked to the door. Closing the door after he left the class Naruto ran as fast as he could to Hiruzen's office.

Bursting through the door Naruto saw six people occupying the office. They were Kakashi, Jiraiya, Hiruzen, Gai, Asuma and Kurenai.

"Ah, Naruto glad for you to join us." Hiruzen spoke from behind his desk.

"What the hell Old Man you know as well as I do I should have been in Squad 7 not Sai." Naruto shouted at Hiruzen forgetting that there were three others in the room that did not know his little secret. Causing Hiruzen, Kakashi and Jiraiya to face palm mentally.

"I sorry Naruto, but why do you think that you should be in squad 7," Said Sarutobi Asuma upon hearing the boy's exclamation causing Naruto to freeze.

'Smooth Brat, Smooth.' Kurama said from inside the mindscape.

"Well seeing as Naruto has already given away what the meeting is about we may as well get on with it." Hiruzen said as he signalled his ANBU to leave and set up a silencing seal.

"What do you mean Hokage-Sama?" asked Gai from his spot now sporting a serious expression that seemed out of place on his face.

"Frist of all I think it best we introduce you to Naruto here. May I introduce, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Jinchūriki of the nine Biju and Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku," Hiruzen said to the three Jōnin who looked shocked along with Naruto seeing his pseudo grandfather give away his most guarded secret, despite giving it away not 5 minutes ago.

After a minute or two chuckling was heard this then turned into uproarious laughter. Looking at the source Naruto saw it was Asuma.

"Ah, it's good to see you haven't lost your sense of humour in your age dad. But seriously why are we here." Asuma said as his laughter died down.

"Asuma-kun why are you so quick as to assume that this is a joke?" Sarutobi asked his son.

"Are you kidding Dad this is just a kid and as far as I know he was the dead last in the academy. I know I should under estimate people but I just can't see it." Asuma continued.

"I have to agree with Asuma this does seem a little far fetch to believe this boy to be one of the best ninja in the village." Kurenai agreed with Asuma. Gai on the other hand was oddly quiet.

"Well then if that is how you feel then I do believe it is time to put Naruto's skills to the test. Asuma since you were the first to state your opinion on the matter you will be the one who will fight Naruto." Hiruzen stated.

"Shall we bring our teams to watch the match Hokage-Sama?" Gai Asked.

"No, I feel that Naruto's peers are not ready to admit that Naruto has had such a large increase in power and while your team are not exactly close with Naruto I am sure they have heard stories about him that may have already affected their opinion of him. Now all of you be at training ground seven in an hour use that time to meet your teams." Hiruzen said. They all nodded and Shunshin away.

One Hour Later – Training ground seven

Naruto was sitting under one of the trees in the training ground waiting for the others to arrive. He was thinking about what he knew of Asuma's fighting style.

'I know he uses trench knifes in close combat. He also knows Fire and Wind Ninjutsu and … Gah, why didn't I play more attention to his fighting style guess I'm going to have to be careful.' Naruto's thoughts were broken by the sound of multiply people arrive via Shunshin.

"Ah you're here already Naruto good we can begin when you two are ready." Said Jiraiya as he arrived at the training flied. The two combatants moved toward the centre of the training ground and good into their starting stance.

Asuma decided against using his trench knifes to begin with but had his hands near them just in case he needed them. Naruto on the other had and took the red box that he had been carrying around off of his back.

"A box what is that going to do?" Kurenai asked from the side-lines.

"You'll be surprised what that 'box' can do." Kakashi said.

"Fighters ready?" Hiruzen asked and received two nods in reply. "Begin."

Naruto was the first to react as he used some Magnet Release Chakra to unfold his weapon revealing it to be a large red scythe with black outlines.

"What the hell is that?" Gai asked as he saw Naruto's weapon.

"That would be Naruto's masterpiece 'Crescent Rose' it's a scythe as well as a high calibre Sniper Rifle." Kakashi answered.

Asuma was a little put out by Naruto's newly unveiled weapon and reached back and took out his trench knifes and just in the nick of time as Naruto came crashing down on him. Naruto broke off and stood there. Just before Asuma asked what he was doing Naruto stabbed Crescent Rose into the ground and made a hand seal.

"Kai." Was all the Naruto said before picking up Crescent Rose again and dashing at Asuma who dodged to the side thinking he was safe only for Naruto to stab Crescent Rose into the ground and turn using his momentum and deliver a brutal kick to his side sending him flying into a tree.

"Not bad kid but that's not enough to defeat me." Asuma said as he stood back up and looked at his opponent only to see him looking through a scope towards him. Asuma experience was the only thing that saved him as Naruto pulled back the bolt and fired multiple projectiles towards him. Dodging to the side Asuma looked to see the damage that Naruto had caused and saw that not only had the projectile gone through the tree but another two behind it. 'Glad that didn't hit me.' Asuma thought.

Meanwhile across the field Naruto was thinking over the fight. 'He's too fast to be hit by anything at range and Crescent Rose isn't helping as much as I thought time for a change of plans.' Naruto folded up crescent rose and made a hand sign and to the surprise of Asuma, Gai and Kurenai. But before he could start the hand signs for another attack Asuma was right in front of him with his arm pulled back ready to strike with his trench knife. The knife tore thought his jacket from the right shoulder to the left hip. The force behind the attack sent Naruto flying back into the trees.

"Well that was a good fight but looks like it's over." Asuma said as he turned around to face Hiruzen and the others. Hiruzen shock his head at his son's arrogance but did understand why he was thinking that he had won. After all for all they knew Naruto was a dead last with a few good moves.

"You forgot two important rules today Asuma. I hope that you will remember this lesson." Hiruzen said with a small, sad, smile as he saw Naruto get back up knowing that his son was about to lose.

Asuma quickly turned back around and saw that Naruto's hoodie had opened and could see that his skin had turned black under it. Naruto quickly made a hand sign and he heard a very quiet pop off in the distance.

'Thank god I had time to activate my Yin Release: Hardening.' Naruto thought as he stood up, quickly making a hand sign Naruto dispelled the clone he sent out earlier and felt the Natural Chakra flow though him. 'Let's see if all this chakra control paid off.' Lifting up his left hand Naruto made a normal sized Rasengan before it started to get bigger. Quickly jumping into the air Naruto got ready to strike.

Asuma quickly started to go through hand signs to Substitute with a nearby log but wasn't quite quick enough to avoid the attack as it managed to hit his left side before the log took his place.

"That's enough Naruto I think we've seen enough for today." Kakashi said as he appeared next to the blond and placed a hand on his shoulder. Naruto nodded and disperse the natural chakra he had left before a thought struck him.

"Gah, I totally forgot. Jiji what about my team?" Naruto said as he remember the really reason he had gone to Hiruzen's office that morning.

"I got this one sensei," Jiraiya said from his place next to Hiruzen. "Naruto you are too powerful to be put on a normal Genin team it would be a waste to make you do D rank missions. Therefore sensei and I made a choice about your placement that will not only allow you to test your strength but also allow you to move freedom."

"What's that Ero-sennin?" Naruto asked.

"Well Naruto how would you like to be my apprentice?" Jiraiya asked.

A/N: Well that's chapter 4. Now Naruto's Yin Release is based off of Haki form one piece because I noticed that they were pretty similar. Anyway the pairing for the story has changed why? Because I thought about it and think it would be weird for Naruto if he had thought that Haku was a boy this time finding out that he was actually a she. Another reason is because I watch Naruto: Blood prison and thought that Ryūzetsu was a better fit but it definitely would be instant love. Anyway see you next chapter.

SANAK - Sasuke and Naruto accidental Kiss.
