Authors note: In regards to who will be in the harem it is going to be Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Temari, and Kyuubi. I am considering Anko but for much later and she will be younger then she really is. Funny I ended up changing quite a few peoples ages…Ok more like two people. Hanabi and Anko. Anyway that's the way I'm doing things and there won't be anything romantic until after the time skip. So when he's sixteen.

Chapter 4

Hinata woke to the morning sun with a smile on her face. Today was the day, the day of her Genin exam. She exited her room and headed down stairs, she passed her father and promptly ignored him.

Ever since Naruto gave her words and advice of encouragement all those years ago her father no longer scared her. She learned that he would never have anything nice to say so she just ignored him completely.

She wanted to get to the academy quickly so she grabbed an apple to eat and headed for the door. She was about to leave when a shout caught her attention.

"Hinata-neechan!" shouted out a teary eyed Hanabi running towards her. Her little sister grabbed on to her leg tight. "Don't go."

Hinata sighed and then smiled. They did this almost every morning. "Hanabi, don't worry I'll be back in a couple of hours." said Hinata. Hanabi wiped away a couple of tears in her eyes.

"Promise?" she asked.

"Promise." said Hinata still smiling. Hanabi beamed at her and let go of her leg.

"Will you help me practice when you get back?" asked Hanabi. Hinata nodded and then left.

The small five-year-old girl walked away from the door with a huge smile on her face. She wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into something. Hanabi looked up and saw the lingering figure of her father in front of her.

He helped her back up and gave a small smile. Hanabi was surprised at this, as he never smiled. He turned and began to walk away when he stopped.

"Good luck…in your training today." said Haishi. And then he continued to walk away from her.

Naruto walked down the street sporting a loose orange tank top, and baggy black pants. He was wearing his usual shades as well, and had his fingerless gloves on his hands instead of attached to his waist belt.

He had a bright smile on his face; something that he only had when he was with Lee away training from the village. Today he would be a Genin of the village. He was most curious as to what team he would be assigned to.

The blonde walked into his classroom and took his seat. Not long after he had arrived Hyuuga Hinata walked in. She walked up to her desk located below Naruto's. He caught her gaze on him for a second and he gave her a warm smile. She smiled back for a moment and took her seat turning her back to him.

If he could see her face he would notice an intense blush on it. Slowly the class filled up with the students and finally Iruka entered. He took his spot at head of the class and faced them.

"Today will be the final test to see whether or not you become shinobi." said Iruka. "Your names will be called and you will perform the Bushin no jutsu. You must create at least three clones to pass. Then you must demonstrate use of weapons with kunai and finally a taijutsu test."

Slowly one by one names were called and students left to be tested. To Naruto's great surprise very few were passing so far it was only up to five students who had passed. Finally Naruto heard it. "Uzumaki Naruto." said Iruka.

Naruto walked into the testing room and stood in front of his teacher. He successfully created three clones and without the use of hand seals which Iruka happily gave him extra credit for. He then passed the taijutsu and kunai test with full marks. He left the room with a new leaf forehead protector.

In Naruto's mind a red head was sitting on the ground rocking back and forth. "Bored." she said. "Sooooo bored." The demon looked out her prison to the window that showed her everything outside.

"So those are the tests huh." The Kyuubi scuffed at this. "No wonder I was able to kill so many so easily. That test is pathetic."

After all the students had finished taking the test only nine had passed. For some reason Iruka seemed rather pleased with this number. "Tomorrow you will be grouped into teams of three. You will then meet your instructor and begin your career as shinobi of the leaf." said Iruka.

Class was dismissed and Naruto went out to eat. He went to his usual spot in the ramen stand. "Hey Naruto-kun, no Lee today?" asked the old man.

"Nope he's on a mission." said Naruto. Lee had been a Genin for nearly six months now. His sensei, much to his delight, was none other then their taijutsu instructor Gai. Naruto hadn't met his two teammates but knew one was a Hyuuga and the other was some girl named Tenten. Naruto began to exit the ramen stand after eating smiling.

"Why does he do that?" asked the Kyuubi. "That smile is ridiculous…besides they'll neveraccept him."

The Kyuubi was still extremely sore that Naruto had turned down her offer for power. In all her years as a demon and watching the human world no one had ever said no to power when they had as much hatred as the boy should have possessed. By all logic he should have said yes, but he didn't and that greatly annoyed her.

Not to mention putting up a barrier that completely cut of her sending him chakra or even talking to him. "GODDAMIT I'M SOOOO BORED!" she shouted out.

The Kyuubi slammed against her prison only to receive an electric shock. She growled

Naruto went on his way home. Having absolutely no clue what was going on inside his mind.

"You can't be serious." said Kakashi looking at the Hokage with an accusing glare. "You want me to train the Kyuubi!"

Sarutobi was more then a little surprised at this outburst. He had picked Kakashi because he had never shown any open hostility towards Naruto. The old man took on a more serious face. "Kakashi…he's not the one that took your sensei." said Sarutobi. "You will train him. This is a direct order."

"fine…" mumbled Kakashi. "But mark my words…If I see even the slightest hint of Kyuubi or the seal breaking…I'm taking him out."

Before the Hokage could respond Kakashi left his office slamming the door behind him. The Hokage swiveled in his chair and faced the window.

"Kakashi…Arashi would be very disappointed in you." Thought the old man.

Naruto had gone home and retrieved his blades. They were all in a large holster that held all six blades at once. The main blade and the hollow blade were crossing each other on his upper back forming an X. Both his serrated blades crossed one another on his lower back. And finally the switchblades were folded up and on each of his sides.

He walked out of his apartment and headed towards the training ground. When he arrived he found he was the only one there and would have no problem training. He took out the main blade and went through the many different steps.

He would switch off his swords never stopping as he continued to hack away at his invisible opponents. He stopped and returned the sword to his back and turned to see a brown haired figure hiding behind the bushes.

Hinata exited the academy building and was about to head home to see her sister when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw the face of a branch member of her clan. She smiled at him and he smiled back. She was very well liked among the branch members of her clan.

"Hinata-sama, the council and Hiashi-sama wish to see you urgently." he stated. Hinata let out a sigh and left.

Hinata entered the dark room that the clan elders held meetings in. It was hard to see but she could make out several figures. One of them was her father.

"Hinata." said her father in an angry tone. "It has come to my attention that you tied for rookie of the year with…an Uchiha."

Hinata used the trick she always did and pictured her father looking the funny way he was in her mind. Any fear that he inspired completely unaffected her. Many in the room coward only slightly under Hiashi's tone and obvious intent.

However a smile formed on the elders lips as they all watched Hinata stand there facing her father with no fear. He scowled at her. "As such to test you, you must defeat all the branch members that I have selected." he said. "This is the only way to prove that you are not completely useless."

A few branch members got up and walked towards her. Their ages varied some were just a little older then she was. She looked at them and noticed the extremely hesitant look in all of their eyes. None of them wanted to fight her.

She looked on and her eyes widened, as several were about to object to her father. She acted immediately and attacked one of them sending him to the floor. She sent the rest of them a look and they all understood. If they opposed her father their seals would be activated. And while the few that were going to take it new they could endure, Hiashi would most likely activate the seals of those that were unprepared.

Once again the Hyuuga eras had proved her self in the eyes of the branch members. They all took their stances and began to fight. Hinata charged and affectively disengaged her opponent's right arm. She slammed her elbow into the branch member's stomach. She channeled chakra through her arm to the elbow, which caused her opponent to explode backwards.

Two opponents came up behind her but with her all seeing eyes she was ready. She slammed both her elbows into their stomachs and as they doubled over she nailed them in the jaw with her open palms affectively knocking them out.

The elders watched the seen with great enthusiasm. Everyone in the room understood what the branch members were going to do. They were impressed with how Hinata handled the situation. She managed to save them without defying the council as well as remaining strong. Now she was effectively taking out the branch members with minimal damage being done to them.

Hiashi looked away from his daughter he couldn't stand to see her. Few actually knew why Hiashi was so cold towards his eldest daughter. Many thought it was to make her strong, but Hiashi knew that the reason was of her almost exact resemblance to his late wife.

As she grew older the resemblance only grew, not just in body but in personality as well. It hurt him to look at her, so he did all he could to make the pain go away and found anger worked best.

Hinata finished the last branch member the elders called the fight. Hinata had been hit several times but she would be alright. The branch members were already picking themselves up.

Her father glared at her and surprisingly she sent a glare back. "If you will excuse me, I'm already late to practice with my sister…she's probably worried." said Hinata. Hiashi's eyes widened at this. He had forgotten that Hanabi would always see her older sister after she was done with school. He also knew how impressionable she was at her age and what she was probably thinking right now.

Hanabi sat near the front door crying. Her sister was an hour late, never had she taken this long. "Where are you." she sobbed. "you said you'd come and help me…you promised."

The little girl spoke to herself, she was upset. But then a thought entered her mind, one that involved her sister being in trouble. She immediately took off out the door, she ran out the Hyuuga compound gates. Hanabi wondered why the guards weren't there. She didn't know that they were currently testing her sister.

She ran across the town in the direction she hoped the academy was. Before she knew it she was in the forest training ground completely lost. She was about to cry when she heard a noise. She instantly ran towards it. She hid behind a tree to see a blonde haired boy practicing with a sword.

Her eyes widened in fascination as he swung the sword around with grace. He had three more swords on his back. And two, she took note, folded up blades on his sides. His blades mesmerized her as she looked at them. Finally the boy stopped and surprisingly turned to look at her.

She was a little worried at first but then he smiled and she for some reason was happy. "Hey who are you?" he asked. "Are you lost?"

The little girl nodded at this. "M-my name is Hanabi…" she trailed off. "I'm looking for my sister."

"Ah, your sister you say." said Naruto. "Who is you sister maybe I can help you. What does she look like?"

"Hinata-neechan as blueish-black hair that feels like silk, she's about your height and is the bestest prettiest girl ever." she said raising her hands in the air.

"Hinata you say." said Naruto smiling. "I know her we go to school together."

"Really?" said the small five year old. Naruto nodded.

"As a matter of fact I met her at this training ground a long time ago." said Naruto. Hanabi's eyes widened. "When I met her she was crying."

"Why was she crying?" asked Hanabi worried.

"Apparently your father made her really upset." said Naruto. Hanabi looked angry at this as she stomped her foot down.

"Daddy is always so mean to Hinata-neechan and I don't know why." she said. "Did you talk to her, did you make her feel better?"

"I like to think I did." said Naruto. She smiled. "Listen I'm sure your sister is back at your home, how's about I take you back."

Hanabi nodded and took his hand as he led her to her home. "Hey mister what's your name?" she asked.

"My name is Naruto." said Naruto. "Uzumaki Naruto."

"Naruto-niichan has a funny name." said Hanabi smiling. Naruto smiled and was slightly surprised by his new title, but he didn't mind.

The two of them made their way through the village. Hanabi took note of the hateful glares sent Naruto's way some of the time. However after seeing her in his company they turned to ignore him completely.

They arrived at the Hyuuga compound not long after and the affects of her absence were evident. Many Hyuuga could be seen running around the compound looking for her. Finally Hanabi saw the reason she had left; Hinata ran by looking frantic.

"Hinata-neechan!" shouted out Hanabi running towards her sister. Hinata stopped in her tracks and looked over to see Hanabi running towards her. The little girl grabbed onto to her older sisters leg. "Where were you!" asked Hanabi.

"Where was I, I should ask you the same thing, why did you leave?" asked Hinata.

"When you didn't come home I got worried and went to look for you…I got lost." said Hanabi. Hinata let out a sigh and then smiled.

"I'm sorry, I had a meeting that came up at the last second." said Hinata. Almost all the Hyuuga were gathered near Hanabi now including her father. "How did you get back?"

"Naruto-niichan helped me." said Hanabi pointing over to Naruto who was leaving. A huge blush instantly erupted onto Hinata's face, a fact that almost every Hyuuga took notice of.

"N-naruto-kun!" shouted Hinata to get his attention. He turned around and smiled and gave a wave at the Hyuuga clan before turning to leave again. "Thank you!" shouted out Hinata and Hanabi at the same time.

The Kyuubi looked out the window to the real world and scowled. "It doesn't make any since he doesn't even stay for a reward or something." Said the Kyuubi. "Why did he even bother? With all the members of the clan searching it would have only taken an hour or so to find her."

The Kyuubi decided to go to sleep after that to ponder her thoughts.

The next day of the day had come, and now they would all be sorted into teams. Naruto wore what he had yesterday, finally bringing his swords to school with him. He wore his forehead protector around his right bicep.

Naruto walked into class and only the nine, including him, that had passed were there. Naruto took a seat and leaned forward on the desk. His serrated swords lightly scrapped on the ground while he sat. Finally Iruka entered.

"Well congratulations on making it this far." said Iruka. "Sadly this is the lowest number of graduates we've ever had. Normally you would be tested by you Jounin sensei and only nine would pass. But seeing as how there are only nine graduates this won't be necessary."

Many of the students looked at him quizzically. "So we are Genin right?" asked Kiba.

"Yes you are, but the test you would of taken would have been on teamwork." said Iruka. "You are on a team for a reason so work well with them."

"Speaking of teams I think its time I assigned you." said Iruka. "Your team number will be that of the squad you Jounin was assigned to. Team 7 is Uchiha Sasuke.."

Both Ino's and Sakura's heads perked up at that name. " Haruno Sakura.." Sakura let out a huge cheer at this. "and Uzumaki Naruto."

Sakura's cheer died down at that name as she looked over at the blonde. He had never done anything to make her afraid quite the opposite really but her mothers words hung true as she noticed numerous bad looks adults sent him.

"I-iruka why is Naruto on our team, I mean normally its lowest ninja with highest ninja. Sasuke is a rookie of the year and Naruto beat him." said Sakura.

Ino was shocked Sakura would bring that up and she called herself a fan girl. Ino looked at Iruka as did everyone in the class. "The answer is that your grades are based from when you first entered the academy, Naruto came the final year so his grades are the lowest, and while it may be common sense that he is defiantly not a dead last, that's what his grade says and what we must got on." finished Iruka.

"But Hinata finished as a rookie of the year as well couldn't he go on her team?" asked Sakura. Many were surprised at her obvious attempts to get Naruto off her team.

"Sakura listen, the Hokage and I went over the details when we made the teams." said Iruka. "Your team will function the best if it consists of you, Sasuke, and Naruto."

Sakura stopped talking after that excepting what her teacher said. He finished calling the other teams. "Well wait here for your Jounin instructor." said Iruka.

They all nodded as he left. Once he was gone they all started moving about the classroom to talk to one another. "I can't believe me, and Chouji got Ino." said Shikimaru annoyed.

Chouji nodded. "I just don't want her making fun of me." said Chouji.

"I wouldn't worry about that stuff." said Naruto. "Teammates normally become friends with one another at least on some level."

"So does that mean you Sasuke and Sakura are going to become best friends?" asked Chouji.

"I said on some level, that doesn' t mean we will be best friends." said Naruto.

Chouji looked at Naruto, in truth he wanted to be friends with the boy badly. But he never was able to see him outside of the academy. And whenever he'd ask to do something in the academy, Naruto would politely decline saying he can't. For some reason it dawned on Chouji at that point to ask his parents when he got home.

Ino walked up on the other side of the desk and looked at Naruto. Naruto stared back curiously and noticed her eyes travel towards his swords. "Say you any good with those things, or are they just for show?" asked Ino. "I mean it's the first time you've brought them, are they new? Did you just get them?"

"I've had them a while and I think I'm pretty good why?" asked Naruto.

"Just curious." said Ino. Naruto smiled and Ino blushed and walked away. Naruto threw her a curious glance.

"Team 10." said a Jounin walking in. "Follow me." Ino, Shikimaru, and Chouji got up and followed him. Soon team 8 instructor came and they left as well. Now it was just Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke.

Sasuke sat near the window quietly staring out it. Sakura was close to him, out of fangirlism and wanting to keep a distance away from Naruto. Naruto just leaned forward on his desk and fell asleep.

It took quite some time before their instructor finally arrived. He had silver hair and his forehead protector over his left eye. He talked to them in a lazy tone. "Team 7 meet me on the roof." said the Jounin.

They exited the classroom and walked up to the roof. Their sensei was already waiting for them. "Alright lets introduce ourselves." Said the man. "My name is Hatake Kakashi, I don't feel like telling you guys anything else. I have lots of hobbies."

"Well that was a waste we only learned his name." Sakura whispered to her teammates. They nodded in an agreement.

"Well you their brooding boy." said Kakashi.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, the only thing I like is my mother, and I pretty much hate everything else, my only hobby is training, and my only dream is to get stronger and kill a certain somebody." said Sasuke.

"Well interesting." said Kakashi. "Pinky go."

Sakura ignored the comment about her hair and introduced herself. "My name is Haruno Sakura, I like…" she looked over at Sasuke. "I don't like bugs, but that doesn't mean I hate Shino or his clan, and my dreams for the future are…" she trailed off and looked at Sasuke again.

"Right…. Shades go." said Kakashi.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like to train, ramen, and sparing with my friend Lee and Gai, I don't really have a hobby except training, and my dream…" Naruto trailed off as if thinking. "Is to make everyone happy and protect this village like the Fourth."

Kakashi slightly winced at the mention of the Fourth but no one noticed. He looked at Naruto as if deciding whether or not to believe his words. "Well your all unique and I think if I did test you, you might actually of passed." said Kakashi. "Tomorrow meet me at training field seven. I want to test your abilities, but it won't be for anything other then my own knowledge."

Kakshi disappeared in a poof of smoke leaving the others to do what they wanted. "Well I'll see you guys tomorrow." said Naruto. Both his teammates just nodded.

Sakura walked off to her home she had a lot to think about. She opened the door and closed it. "Mom! I'm home!" shouted Sakura down the hall. Her mother came out of the kitchen to great her.

"Sakura honey how was you day?" asked Haruno Maya.

"Well…um mom why is Naruto so dangerous?" asked Sakura. Maya looked shocked for a second at her daughter's question.

"I…can't say…why do you ask?" asked Maya.

"He's on my team…and well I don't know what to do, I can't exactly ignore him and its not like he's mean or anything I just wanted to know more." said Sakura

"Yeah." Shouted her inner self. (I almost forgot about Inner Sakura, my bad.)

"Sakura." said Maya she sighed. "I've never heard of him being mean, but…just…be careful you don't have to be scared of him, just watch him."

Sakura nodded and went up to her room.

Chouji looked at his father Chouza. "So dad do you hate Naruto?" asked Chouji.

Chouza sighed at his son's question. "No…I don't hate him." said Chouza. "He has no control over what happened to him."

Chouji raised an eyebrow at this. "No I can't tell you." said Chouza. "But Naruto probably thinks I will act like most parents and not let you near him…he's just saving himself the heart ache. I'm probably one of a very few who respect him."

"I see." said Chouji.

"We'll have him over for dinner some time, him and that Lee kid." said Chouza. Chouji instantly brightened up at this.

Authors note: I updated this authors note to clear up a few things, someone asked why Hanabi was the way she was. Becuase Hinata is stronger and looking out for her. She is basicly keeping there father away from Hanabi, i thought I made it obvious enough my bad. As to why they are teams 7, 8, and 10. I said the Jounin was assigned to a specific squad with a given number it had nothing to do with order, because think about it. Over how many years of graduates how many squad ones or sevens, etc. do you think their would have been. I believe that a Jounin is assigned a number and then whatever students he gets are put in that squad, even if that is not the case that is my reasoning for my fic. I am also aware that I get certain words mixed up the biggest being accept and except, my bad when I'm typing fast i don't notice and whenI reread I don't think much of it but i am aware of the differences.
