NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 3 Ninja Academy

One year later day before Academy begins...

It was nightfall, Naruto was sitting on top of the fourth's head looking over the village on the Hokage Mountain. Naruto had progressed alot over the year with the tutelage of his new sensei, Hatake Kakashi. During the past year of Kakashi's teachings and his fathers mini library Naruto excelled exponentially. Naruto couldn't help but smile of thinking back at how strong he has gotten over the past year.

During the first two months, Kakashi train Naruto specificly in chakra control until he thought Naruto's control was adequate enough. The next month he taught Naruto the three basic academy jutsu's consisting of the Henge, Kawarimi (substitution), and Bunshin (clone). Naruto learned the Henge and Kawarimi within the first two weeks. The Bushin...not so much.

For two weeks Naruto tried and failed every time to make a Bushin. The Bushin would come out the same every time. The Bushin would be pale...very pale and looked as if it had a deathly disease that couldn't even stand upright. This infuriated Naruto beyond belief that he couldn't get a simple Bushin.

So Kakashi found another alternative route and taught him the Kage Bushin no Jutsu (Shadow clone). The result... Well you could say afterwards Kakashi had to pick up his jaw off the ground. Literally...

Flashback nine months...

Kakashi was watching Naruto attempt the Bushin for the hundredth time that day and was praying to Kami he would get it right this time. But Kami didn't hear his prayer because Naruto failed...again.

"Hey Naruto come over here." said Kakashi as Naruto nodded and made his way over to Kakashi.

"OK I'm going to teach you a more advance Bushin. It is called Kage Bushin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)." said Kakashi and received a irritated look from Naruto.

"Another Bushin! How can I do a more advance one if I can't even do the simplest Bushin!" exclaimed Naruto as he tried to get his anger under control but was failing miserably.

Kakashi sighed and replied "Because the Kage Bushin uses more chakra then the regular Bushin. Like I told you before you have large chakra reserves for one so young. You are an Uzumaki, Uzumaki's have naturely large chakra reserves. You also contain the Kyuubi no Yoko. With the seal your father used to seal the kyuubi within you, your reserves grow daily. You already have low to mid jounin level reserves at the age of seven. Seven Naruto. So I've concluded that it would be impossible for you to learn the regular Bushin. Thats why I'm going to teach the Kage Bushin no Jutsu."

"Fine." said Naruto.

"Good. But there is some things you need to know about the Kage Bushin. One, this is a Forbidden jutsu because it can potentially be dangerous. The Kage Bushins you make are given and equal amount of chakra directly from you. Two, do not over excert yourself with this technique, if you do you could possibly die. Understand." stated Kakashi seriously.

"Hai!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Oh, and another thing about the Kage Bushin is that whatever memories or experiences it had gain, after being dispelled you will gain it's past memories or experiences. So this can help with your training as well later on."

Kakashi showed Naruto the cross seal and said "Go ahead and try it out"

Naruto nodded and shouted "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" What happen next made Kakashi's jaw hit the ground and suprisingly enough his face mask stayed on. What stood in front of Kakashi were atleast one hundred solid clones of orange clad, moppy blonde hair, and cerulean blue eyed Naruto's who each had shit eating grins plastered on there faces.

'Well this change's things' thought Kakashi as he picked his jaw off the ground.

End of Flashback

And changed it did. For the next nine months Kakashi taught Naruto the basic academy Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu, and speed and physical endurance training. Naruto excelled beyond Kakashi's expectations during the first year and this was only the beginning. Kakashi thought Naruto was a natural born prodigy.

After Naruto was done training with Kakashi he would sneak inside the fourths head at night and study up on anything he could get his hands on in his fathers mini library. It would range from Basics of Chakra Control, Ninjutsu scrolls, the different styles of Taijutsu's, History of the different shinobi villages, Fuinjutsu which was rather easy he thought, and the different styles of Kenjutsu's. The Kage Bushin also helped with this so what ever the clone read he would gain it's memories after being dispelled. Instead of reading a book at a time he could read fourty or fifty at time which helped tremendously.

Naruto wanted to learn a different Taijutsu style other then the academy Taijutsu Kakashi had taught him. He was looking through all the different styles one day that he could learn or that found his interest. After about and hour of searching he found one.

It was called 'The Whirling Tide Fist' which originated from Uzushiogakure. It relied on speed, power, and precision. The Whirling Tide Fist was perfect for Naruto in every way. The Whirling Tide Fist attacks the pressure points and weak points of ones body effectively enabling someone or possibly killing someone in one blow if mastered. Naruto was a long way from mastering this new Taijutsu style but in time he would.

Naruto took a interest in Kenjutsu after finding a few scrolls about Kenjutsu. He started practicing the basics and it felt natural to him. He learned the basics of Kenjutsu in about a month by himself and practices daily to improve his skills.

Out of all the different subjects Naruto's studied, Fuinjutsu was his favorite. He couldn't understand why but fuinjutsu felt natural to him just like Kenjutsu. He would study and practice all the different types of sealing he could get his hands on. He also started using gravity seals to increase his speed and power.

Naruto realised that his doujutsu can read and descript Fuinjutsu rather easily. He could decipher low level seals without much difficulty, even if he had never seen the seal before. Naruto tried to find information on his doujutsu in his fathers library but came up with nothing. Naruto's curiousity for his mysterious doujutsu increases day by day of what his abilities are for his doujutsu.

Naruto was brought out of his thoughts when someone said " So this is where you have been, Naruto." Naruto looked over to see his sensei, Kakashi reading his favorite orange book called Icha Icha : Paradise.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep so I decided to come here" replied Naruto.

Kakashi nodded and asked "Are you looking forward to the academy tomorrow?"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders and said "Not really... I probaly might know everything they will be teaching."

"You might be right Naruto, but remember what I told you. Do not show your skills or anything that I taught to you, to anyone or who your parents were until you have graduated." Kakashi stated in a more serious tone.

Naruto sighed "I know, I know, deception is the shinobi's greatest weapon. And besides if I showed I was better then everybody else or smarter the villagers would be calling for my head. The prankster, loud mouth, deadlast will be my mask until graduation so don't worry." finished Naruto.

Kakashi nodded and said " Ok, theres one more thing too. Once you start the academy I will have to go back to my regular jounin duties. But I will still train you during my spare time and when I'm not here I will have a training regimen for you to do when I'm gone, alright. Also, don't over do it with the Kage Bushin." which he recieved a sheepish nod in return.

"Make sure you get some sleep and I'll stop by before you leave. Later" With that Kakashi left in a swirl of leaves.

'Man I gotta learn that!' thought Naruto as he left also.

Next day...

Naruto was sleeping peacefully until the morning sun beams shined through Naruto's window and shining on Naruto's face making our favorite blonde stir. Naruto groggily got up and made his way to the bathroom to shower and brush his teeth.

After he finished getting dressed Naruto heard a knock at his door. Naruto answered the and saw Kakashi standing there and of course reading his Icha Icha.

"Yo" said Kakashi as he walked in Naruto's apartment.

"Hey Kakashi-nii-san what brings you here this early in the morning? And if I remember correctly your never up this early." asked Naruto as he narrowed his eyes a little.

"Well, I just wanted to wish you luck before you left for the academy and give you your training regimen because i'm leaving for a mission today." said Kakashi as he handed Naruto a scroll. Naruto tooked the scroll and put it away inside his orange baggy jacket.

"Thanks so when will you be back?" asked Naruto.

Kakashi shrugged and replied "Maybe three weeks or a month but when I get back I'll teach you a couple new jutsu's. Oh yeah, when do you have to be at the academy?"

"Eight, why?" asked a confused Naruto.

"It's eight-fifteen" Kakashi lazily said. Naruto was starting to panic his first day of the academy and he was already late for his first day.

Kakashi seeing this he said "Naruto, when I'm late for something I always give an excuse that anybody could believe. Just tell them...

Academy 15 mins later...

You could hear someone running through the halls of the academy until it stop. Naruto opened the door and all eyes were on him.

"Heh sorry I'm late I uh... I got lost on the path of life." said Naruto as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

This earn a couple of snickers and alot of sweat-drops. But his new sensei Umino Iruka's eyebrow was twiching furiously and had a tic-mark. Iruka wore the standard attire for a chunin. He had pinapple shaped brown hair and a scare horizontally across his nose.

Iruka's used his signature big-headed jutsu increasing the size of his head by ten times and yelled "Naruuutooo! THAT IS THE WORST EXCUSE I HAVE EVER HEARD! NOW TAKE A SEAT!"

Naruto nodded and ran towards an open seat towards the back of the class. Naruto looked around and saw that there was alot of clan heirs in his class.

The first was the Nara clan heir, Nara Shikamaru. The Nara clan was known for it's high IQ and highly skilled in strategy and planning. And most of the Nara's were mostly lazy. Shikamaru wore a mesh shirt with a black sleeveless jacket and black pants. His hair was black, in a pinapple style hair much like Iruka's.

Then there was the Akimichi clan heir, Akimichi Choji. Choji was a short heavy set boy. His clan was known for using techniques that can increase their size by hundred times and there clan techniques relied on high calorie usuage which means he was always eating.

There was the Yamanaka clan heiress, Yamanaka Ino. Ino had long blonde hair and wore a dark purple out fit. Her clan used mind control techniques. They could read thoughts, confuse and make enemies attack one another, and even take control of an enemies body.

There was the Inuzuka clan heir, Inuzuka Kiba. Kiba had brown hair and sharpe black eyes with vertical slits, pronounced canine teeth, and two red fang like markings, one on each cheek. Kiba wore dark greyish pants and a grey, hooded fur-lined coat. The Inuzuka's were known for there dog partners and collaboration ninjutsu.

There was the Aburame clan heir, Aburame Shino. He had black glasses and wore a grey coat that only showed his glasses. There clan relied on there insects to fight.

There was the Hyuuga clan heiress, Hyuuga Hinata. Hinata had hime-cut style, with chin-length strands framing her face. She wore a cream - colored hooded jacket with fur around the cuffs and hem, with navy blue pants. The Hyuuga's were known for there Doujutsu, Byakugan. The Byakugan when active allows them to see chakra with high detail, almost three hundred and sixty degree vision and long range extending to almost kilometers if trained enough.

The last clan was the Uchiha clan heir, Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke was the last of his clan and the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan massacre that happened about a month ago. The Uchiha's were known for there Doujutsu, the Sharingan. Sasuke had crow colored black hair and eyes. He wore a blue short sleeved shirt with the Uchiha's clan crest on the back with white shorts.

There was also a girl with pink colored hair with green eyes named, Haruno Sakura. Sakura wore a red dress with white circular designs and tight dark green shorts. She wasn't a clan heiress but she was in his class. The rest of the class was filled with regular civilian children that have high hopes in becoming a shinobi of konoha.

"Okay class today we will be learning..." Iruka began his lecture only for Naruto to fall asleep.

'zzzz...snore...zzzz'

Two years later...

There was loud breathing that could be heard coming from training ground nine. Naruto was laying on his back panting and sweating profusely. The training ground had numerous of craters and trees cut in half all throughout the training ground he was in.

"It seems like we can't use this training ground anymore" said Kakashi gaining Naruto's attention.

"Hey Kakashi- nii-san I thought you were going on a mission?" Naruto asked as he sat up.

"Actually, we are going on a mission" said Kakashi.

"What do you mean 'we', Kakashi - nii?" asked Naruto not quite understanding what his surrogate brother meant.

"It's time Naruto. We are going to Uzushiogakure no Sato." said Kakashi with his traditional eye- smile.

"Really?!" Naruto asked.

"Yeah I want you to pack a weeks worth a food, sleeping bag and anything else that you might need. Meet me at the north gate in a hour, see ya." explain Kakashi as he left in a swirl a leaves.

Naruto grinned ear to ear and also left but in a swirl of wind.

One hour later North Gate...

Naruto and Kakashi just arrived at the north gate. "Are you ready Naruto?" asked Kakashi and recieved a nod in return. With that both Kakashi and Naruto dashed to the tree tops dashing from tree to tree making there way to Uzushiogakure no Sato.
