Altered Past Akin Impending

Graduation


"Naruto I said it's time to get up, don't make me summon a few snakes to drag you out" an annoyed feminine voice shouted from the other side of the door. It had become an almost weekly routine since Naruto had moved in with her 6½ years ago. Once a week he would always stay up late doing whatever it was he did in there and the next morning she would have to come up with a new threat just to get him out of bed. "I'm coming back in 30 minutes and if you're not up you're not getting any food for the whole day. I'll even tell Ayame not to give you any ramen" she finished before leaving to do her own thing.

Rolling off the bed Naruto laid on the cold hard floor looking at the ceiling. Today was the day he finally became a ninja, nothing was going to stop him from achieving that not even the stupid clone jutsu. He was going to create a clone even if it failed then replace himself with it to trick them into thinking he could only make one prober clone. While he may have trained with Anko she didn't take his training to an intense level. She had also told him that he had too much chakra and too little control to do the normal clone jutsu, and that she could have thought him the shadow clone jutsu but she wasn't sure it would work out since he had the Kyuubi's soul in him and since the shadow clone jutsu split the soul there could be a chance for it to escape.

Deciding that it was time to get up, he sluggishly made his way to the cupboard, the peaceful bliss of sleep not fully having disappeared. Looking though his clothes he decided that it was time he wore something different not the kill me orange even though he loved the colour to death. Digging in deep he pulled out a grey box which looked to have never been opened. It was something Anko had gotten for him last year for his birthday but he never got to open it because she told him to wait for the day of the graduation exam before he could open it.

Slowly opening it he put the contents on the bed. The first thing he noticed was the long sleeved fishnet undershirt that looked similar to the one Anko wore. A dark grey over shirt which had the kanji for Kitsune on the front in orange with a black ANBU style pants which had a blue snake going down each side, new grey shinobi sandals similar to the ones his mother wore and last but not least a Red trench coat with the kanji 'Proud Of My Power' going down the back written in black. Changing into his new attire he couldn't believe how comfortable it felt despite the fact the undershirt was a bit tight. Throwing his clothes he had taken off on the chair he exited his room. Standing in the hall doing his morning stretches he could hear Anko in the shower and the smell of dango and ramen wafting from the kitchen he headed straight for it. Opening the fridge he took out a half empty carton of milk. Sitting at the table he slowly ate his breakfast while waiting for Anko to finish washing before going to brush his teeth.

Looking at the clock on the wall he realised that if he didn't leave soon he wouldn't make it in time for the exam. Walking quickly he bumped into something soft time. Looking up he saw Anko looking down at him and the look on her face showed she wasn't pleased. "And where do you think you're going" she asked biting back a snarl.

"I was just heading to the academy and what's got you so pissed of this morning" he asked.

"You"

"Me what did I do. You can't still be angry at me for waking up late can you"

"That's not the reason, how should I feel I dished your food, bought you a new outfit that I had to get tailor made and I don't even get a thank you"

"Sorry, Anko-nee my mind was on another place, thanks for everything especially the clothes there great"

"Apology accepted but don't think you're getting of that easy. I know you ate my serving of dango as well and when you get home let's just say your finally be going through some intense training" she said as she smile vindictively.

"Uhm I have to go, I think I hear Iruka-sensei doing the roll call bye" he said running off.

"We'll no use standing around her now that my entertainments gone. Time to see who my new victim is for today" she said to herself before jumping from roof to roof in the direction of the Torture & Interrogation department. Oh how she loved teasing her little brother.


Everyone always thought it was only the students at the academy that were excited about the graduation exam but it was actually both the students and the sensei. For today was the day they would finally be getting rid of these monstrosities they had to be saddled up with for 5 years. Though they loved there classes most of them betted on how long they lasted in the field before they died, made to retire from some injury, grief of the death of a teammate and who became a missing-nin. The last topic and only stared because of the Uchiha massacre. Iruka however never participated in events of those natures when it came down to life and death.

Standing in front of his academy Iruka watched as some parents dropped their children off and those who got to know each other over the years walked to their classes together. Opening the door he let the early comers in knowing they'd want sit in there groups. Standing outside he spotted Sasuke standing underneath the tree with the swing and he looked to be wearing different clothes than his usual ones. It was a black one piece with bandages that went around his arms and legs, he also had new black shinobi sandals and brown arm bands (It's his clothes he wears in the chunin exam finals against Gaara). He was looking of into the distance possibly to see if Naruto was coming, over the past few years the two of them had grown really close much to the disappointment of his fan-girls who kept tell him to stay away from him and that he was a bad influence. "Sasuke you may want to wait inside its Wednesday today, and that means Naruto is going be late no matter how hard you stare" Iruka said. Sasuke just huffed before he left to go take his seat in class.

The class had begun filling up as more of his students arrived the most noticeable of the all where to girls one with platinum blond hair and blue with a purple top and skirt, bandages covering her stomach and legs and white arm bands. The other was a girl with long pink hair and green eyes she was wearing a red battle dress with tight short tights. They had just entered the classroom and stopped the fighting over who got to sit next to Sasuke, to noticed he was wearing something new and in their eyes it made him even sexier. They faced each other and with even more determination started fighting again.

Hopping from roof top to roof top Naruto could see academy and slowed his pace down before jumping of the roof and landing on the ground close to the academy's entrance. Looking around he noticed only a few people were still outside either eating or busy talking. Opening the door to his class he noticed all the stares he was getting it must have been because of the new change in clothes. "Naruto-baka what are u wearing if you're trying to and upstage Sasuke it will never work, no matter how cool you try and act or change your style he'll always be cooler than you" Sakura and Ino shouted at him this was probably the only thing Iruka had seen them agree on in his life.

"Whatever I didn't do this to upstage anyone, I wanted a change of clothes anyway and it just happened to be that my sister bought me some. Now if you excuse me" he said walking to his seat next to Sasuke.

"NARUTO-BAKA you better get away from Sasuke, we've tolerated you sitting next to him this year because sensei said so, but today that seat belongs to me" Ino and Sakura screamed at him. They got angrier when the noticed that he wasn't even listening to them. Marching over to him they stared shouting at him again.

"Sakura, Ino" Sasuke said.

"Yes Sasuke"

"Would you just shut up where try to have a conversation over here" he said coldly.

"What, but Naruto-baka's too close to you, you might catch something from him and become stupid like he is" Ino retorted.

"I've known Naruto for years and nothing has happened to me, so just shut up and go do whatever you do. I'm not in the mood to argue with you" he said turning to face Naruto so that they could continue their conversation as they walked away.

"I knew you hated fan-girls but wasn't that a little over board. Still who do you think is going to be teamed up this year? Anyone teamed up with those two are most likely going to die on a D-Rank mission" Naruto said

"You do know the lowest scoring student is teamed up with the rookie of the year right" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah that means we'll be on the same team"

"And that the top kunoichi is also placed and that team" Sasuke said receiving a nod from Naruto. "And who is the top kunoichi"

"It's Sakura right"

"And you don't see anything wrong with that"

Naruto replied no before he started to rethink. Coming to a conclusion he finally realised it. "Aw shit where screwed. Why did Hinata have to drop and become the second best we could have had here in our team, sure she's shy but she works hard" he said grabbing his hair.

"Settle down everyone I know your all excited for the exam" Iruka said waiting for everyone to sit before doing a head count. "Looks like everyone's present. I'll call you all out first the girls in alphabetical order and then the boys" Seeing that it would be a while before he was called out Naruto decided to take a page out Shikamaru's book and go to sleep. He was such a deep sleep he didn't even feel it when Sasuke started using his body as a shield from the fan-girls who thought with some of the others gone their chances with him would be higher.

Though he did feel it when Sasuke dropped him. Opening an eye he saw that he was on the ground and most of the other had been called. Standing up he saw Sasuke enter the exam room. After a while he heard his name being called and headed to the room. "Naruto can you need to show use the clone, substitution and transformation jutsu in any order" Transforming into Iruka he made a clone which was hiding by the smoke from the transformation but Iruka could see the real Naruto's hand sticking out from the other side which he thought was the clone. Finally dispelling the clone before the smoke disappeared he substituted himself with a pot plant. "Good Naruto you're finally able to do the clone jutsu even though it's only one, but even though you did well all the other students created three clones. I'm sorry to say Naruto but you're going to be the dead last of the class this here" Iruka said dejectedly.

"That doesn't matter to me I was actually aiming for it" he said happily surprising Iruka and Mizuki.

"Why would you want that?"

"To be on the same team as Sasuke, jiji always says team work is the most important part of a genin squad. Sasuke and I know each other well who better to be on a team than us"

Iruka sat there dumbstruck Naruto the kid who everyone thought was as dense as a wall and nobody had even seen thick had come up with such an ingénues idea. "Well Naruto all you have do now is take your headband and you're officially a ninja of the hidden leave village" Walking over to the table Naruto picked a black forehead protector and tied it around is head as he left. "Mizuki could you pack everything up I'm going to tell the students about the team placements that's happing tomorrow"

"No go ahead I can handle his" Mizuki said with a smile hiding his disgust. Who did that demon lover think he was? Thinking about a demon because of Iruka it had passed and his whole plan was going to have to be changed. 'Looks like he'd have to do this himself' he thought.

After telling the students how tomorrow would work he dismissed them. Naruto and Sasuke stood underneath a tree with a swing watching as everyone else's parents came to come congratulate them. "It's times like this I wished aniki and I never had to kill the clan" Sasuke said.

"I know what you mean sometimes I wish my parents didn't have to die for the sake of the village but that would be selfish of me. Even though I have Anko-nee it's not the same" Naruto said staring at his father's head. "Anyway moping around isn't going to bring them back we just have to forged ahead"

"I know it's just hard, sometimes I have dreams about the time before we had to kill them when everything was so peaceful" he looked at Naruto. "Enough of this sappy nonsense it doesn't suit us. How is that jutsu of yours coming along, mine isn't finished and it might only be done in a couple of months, since I haven't used my Sharingan while creating it"

"It should also be done in a couple of months, it would have been done sooner but now we have a squad and nee-san said she's going up my training so I won't have a lot of time to work on it. Well I have to get going if I'm late I don't want to see want nee-san has in store for me" he said reiving a nod from Sasuke before running of. On the way he stopped by Ichiraku having only five bowls so that he wouldn't be late. When he got home he had a shower and waited till Anko came home.


It was late when Anko had gotten home. She went to take a shower before changing her clothes and have some dango. She knocked on Naruto's door, opening it she saw him fast asleep. Walking up to him she lifted him off his bed careful not to wake him before heading to one off the training fields. She stopped at one with a waterfall where she dropped Naruto. He was awake a few seconds after his body made contact with the cold hard ground. Looking around he saw that he wasn't in his room and that Anko was standing over him. "Get up its time we start your training properly"

"You were serious about that" he asked

"Yes now get your lazy ass moving" she said motioning him to the edge of the cliff.

"So, what's my training for today?"

"You learnt the tree walking excise a while ago and your chakra control isn't good enough for you to attempt water walking yet so we'll work on that. I want you to stand on the side of the cliff holding yourself there with chakra while I summon snake and use some fire style jutsu that you're going to dodge and if you don't, while you're getting either bitten or burnt got that" Naruto gulped if this was Anko's idea of slightly intense training he didn't want to be on the receiving end on it when she decide it was time to stop holding back.
