Hidden Genes
Summary: There is a type of jutsu only one shinobi could use,the Shodaime became famous for it being impossible for anyone who doesn't have his DNA, and even then it was rare. Sharingan is an Uchiha doujutsu,so no one can have it unless an eye is given, so why does the Kyuubi vessel have both?Why does he move like the Yondaime?
On a bright, sunny morning, one smiling (Namikaze) Uzumaki Naruto entered his Ninja Academy classroom where his fellow graduates will be placed in three man genin teams so they could begin some serious training. He could see many were surprised and displeased that he had showed up, but after twelve years of such treatment, Naruto was more than used to it.
A few days ago had been the graduation test and he had failed, as he will never be able to make illusionary clones since his chakra reserves were too large for such a silly technique. He had tried and tried and unless he used his Sharingan (which no one still knew nothing about, thank Kami), he couldn't muster up the right amount of chakra. Kurama had tried completely withdrawing into him but it was no use. He had failed for the fourth time but Mizuki-sensei, who was their teacher along with Iruka-sensei, had informed him that he could become a genin if he learned a special jutsu from a big scroll hidden in the archives in the Hokage Tower. Naruto had been suspicious about it but went and did it anyway, only to realize he had been right and that the silver haired teacher had tried to frame him, even kill him had it not been for Iruka-sensei. Too bad for Mizuki that Naruto had learned a jutsu from the scroll, the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to be exact, and Naruto had beat the crap out of him for hurting Iruka-sensei, who turned out to really care for him.
The kind brunet had then given him his forehead protector and congratulated him on graduating. Naruto had hugged his favorite teacher, in tears from happiness and relief that they were both okay. And that's how Naruto became a genin.
Then there was the registration hustle and introducing Hokage-jiji to his master technique that he has yet to see fail on any man. He was thinking of maybe making a reverse version for women but that was put on hold when he met Komohamaru, the Hokage's grandson, and the boy started following him around because he wanted Naruto to teach him the Sexy no Jutsu. Then the kid's teacher showed up and Naruto gave him the extreme version of his special technique, the Harem no Justu. Oh yeah, Naruto was really good at henge. Kurama, who had been rolling around on the floor in Naruto's mind-space at the effectiveness of such a jutsu, told him it was because in legend, foxes were really good at transformation and fooled a lot of people that way.
Anyway, he had parted ways with Konohamaru with the kid calling him 'nii-chan' or 'oyabun', only to occasionally find the kid following him around, trying to sneak attack him. Not that he could, anyways. Kurama's presence in Naruto sharpened his senses way beyond even a dog's or cat's.
He was here now, taking a long last look at his classmates and joking around with a few that didn't hate him about the graduation test and the new teams being formed. That's when Sakura-chan, a really cute pink haired girl he kinda liked, ran in, racing and pushing around with Ino, a pale blond girl with pale blue eyes, as they panted. He waved to greet her when she barreled right past him to the boy right behind him.
Uchiha Sasuke looked like the girl's - or anyone's really - presence disgusted and annoyed him. The angsty genius had graduated at the top of their year and was called the Number One Rookie because of his achievements. From the moment he was enrolled into the Academy, he was considered the most popular individual in Konoha. He was called from cute to handsome by girls and women alike, and even by a few males, too. Not that he cared. Ever. Even before the massacre that took away his family and childhood bliss, Sasuke had never been a people person. In fact, people annoyed him. If he could have spent his whole life alone, with the only exception being his older brother before it all went to hell, he would have been more than happy to. It only got more pronounced after the massacre, when he completely pulled away from everyone ...
Except Naruto, who forcefully dragged him back in. Their strange ... friendship, it could be called, baffled other people from the first time they caught a glimpse of the two boys together. Naruto would annoy Sasuke, the raven haired boy would insult the blond, the blue eyed boy would growl and the black eyes would be set in a glare in record time. But if anyone else dared insult Naruto, Sasuke would send such a death glare their way that they withered like a flower in the desert.
To Sasuke, Naruto was the person that held a light in his world of darkness, made by his nightmares and anger and hatred with his smiles and laughter. In his eyes, the blond was fragile and needed absolute protection so Sasuke promised himself to always look after the younger boy. Like he had told him years ago, his sanity was still intact only because of the blond's arguments with him.
To Naruto, Sasuke was his very first friend and his most precious person. He was the first person to take such risks as to attack and threaten a jonin for someone like Naruto. Ever since the night Sasuke had held him in his sleep, the blond had a ... crush on the raven haired boy. But they still acted the same. Although Sasuke had invited Naruto to live with him in the Uchiha estate, in whichever house he chose, Naruto had turned him down on the generous offer. He would be too embarrassed to live with him and he didn't want to cause trouble for the slightly older boy. He didn't want to be a burden, so he continued living on his own, much to the raven's bafflement and displeasure. Sasuke had spent a whole month trying to get him to change his mind, surprising them both, but Naruto had stayed stubborn about his decision and the raven just ... stopped asking. That had hurt, but Naruto knew it was for the best. He had needs regarding space that not even the estate could give him and if he lived with someone, he couldn't sneak away into the forest.
After Sasuke stopped asking, their strange relationship really did consist of them arguing almost all the time they were near each other. Sasuke started drawing in on himself even more and sometimes, even arguing with Naruto wasn't enough. The pale boy became more popular each day while the blond was getting mote and more hated as time passed by. Two years after Sasuke saved him that night and they could barely even get close enough to argue, what with the girls always surrounding Sasuke and other kids shunning Naruto. They simply ... drifted apart.
That, however, didn't stop the blush that sprang to Naruto's cheeks every time he saw the other boy.
However, he knew that people wouldn't be the most supportive of a boy liking a boy, especially since it's Naruto liking Sasuke, so he learned to hide it. It was exceptionally easy since most girls always stuck close to the Uchiha. He had thought between Sakura and Ino for weeks before deciding that the pale blond haired girl was too mean and cruel at times, whether she knew it or not, so he settled for Sakura-chan. Besides, it didn't really matter who he chose. He really liked Sasuke and all the girls in the village were obsessed with him, too, so he knew he wouldn't be getting a girlfriend from them. He just had to act like he liked someone.
Although it still ticked him off when he was treated like this.
He jumped onto the table in front of the slightly older boy, glaring at him as Sasuke rested his chin on his clasped hands, returning the glare tenfold. Electricity was practically crackling between them as their eyes focused only on each other, everything else fading in the background. The yells and demands from the until recently fighting and arguing girls for Sasuke to beat Naruto up were ignored as the two boys were now practically nose to nose, scowls never leaving their faces.
"Eh? Really?" The boy sitting in front of the glaring pair leaned back with his elbow moving to rest on the desk behind him, looking over when he bumped into something. "Oops, sorry ... " He trailed off when his brain registered what his eyes were seeing and his jaw dropped. The girls were now silent, barely getting out the first two letters of his name before trailing off as they stared. A few had blood running down their faces from what they were seeing. The rest of the classroom was just ... staring. Not knowing how to react to what was happening.
Naruto and Sasuke, though, were the most shocked, their eyes wide open and staring into each other's eyes with half horror as they realized that their lips were touching. Their minds drew up blanks as the contact really registered and both of their heart beats sped up. They were frozen in that instant, unable to move away or perhaps even respond to the surprise kiss.
Kit! Naruto broke away as soon as he heard Kurama's voice just as Sasuke came back to himself. The boys broke apart at the same time and stared at each other for a second like that before the both of them started making choking and vomiting noises, turning away from each other so the other wouldn't see the blush adoring their cheeks. They made threats and comments before Naruto felt an intense angry aura coming from behind him, where the girls were. He looked over his shoulder to see their dark faces, angry expressions and Sakura's right eyebrow twitch. They were not happy that the blond had stolen their precious Sasuke-kun's first kiss that they had all wanted.
"Naruto," the pink haired girl said in a dark tone of voice, cracking her knuckles. Naruto had to fight down the red and tomoe from springing to his eyes as the animal instincts he inherited from the demon fox alerted him to danger and the need to defend himself. He could already feel his chakra rising and he shivered with the effort to keep it down. The girls obviously mistook it for fear. As if he would have anything to fear from them! The Kyuubi lived inside him! "You're dead."
Before the girls could start in on him or Sasuke could stop them, the blond was saved by Umino Iruka-sensei's entrance into the classroom. The kind brunet looked at the group where the Uchiha had just stood up and where Naruto was on the floor and a vein started throbbing in his head. Everyone was in their seats before you could blink. The teacher was kind but he had a temper and a set of lungs on him that were feared by even the ANBU.
Iruka started their last class together by telling them about genin needing to be in three man teams for completing missions under a jonin sensei, but they were only half listening. The incident was still replaying the events of the last ten minutes and the bullies were getting ready with this new material for picking on the Kyuubi vessel while said blond was wondering if today was an impossible dream come true or if he was smack in the middle of a nightmare. Kurama was quiet, as he didn't know how to council his host and Sasuke was doing his best not to strangle the pink haired annoyance that had sat herself in between him and Naruto. Said blond wanted the ground to open so it could swallow him and he would never be seen again. The trio didn't even notice when Iruka began assigning teams until Naruto's name was called out.
"Team 7. Uzumaki Naruto," the Jinchuuriki blinked at him with his large blue eyes. "Haruno Sakura," the whiskered teen forced a smile on his face as a fake cheer (that no one could see was fake, as Naruto had become an expert actor over the years so he would never show the villagers how much their jeers really affected him) and Sakura slumped in her seat. Ino smirked at her rival's misfortune while Sasuke scowled. His chances of ending up on the same team as Naruto had just dwindled even more. He considered the blond as the only person he could stand being on a team with, if he had to be on a team anyways. He knew he wouldn't be able to work with some weak willed, wimpy, lazy person who either feared him or fawned over him. The only person who wasn't all of the above was Naruto and, as auch, the blond was also the only person Sasuke would tolerate being on a team with. He better not be paired up with some useless weaklings. "And Uchiha Sasuke."
Sakura cheered and Naruto (once again acting) slumped in his seat next to the excited girl. He was secretly glad that he was on a team with Sasuke. He had feared that they would completely drift apart if they were assigned different teams. Sasuke just raised an eyebrow.
Life was about to get a whole lot more interesting.
