Chapter 4: From a School to an Academy

One year later

Sarutobi slowly made his way down the dark corridor, a man in a long white coat just a few paces behind.

He wasn't in a rush; he didn't really want to be here at all.

Not looking back at the man he asked.

"Has there been any progress."

The man didn't even slow down as he looked down at the clipboard in his hand.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, there has been no change since the last time you were here."

Sarutobi just gave a nod and kept walking.

The school was a depressing place.

It was built underground and was designed for the express purpose of housing and rehabilitation of shinobi that couldn't cope with the stress or responsibilities of the job.

Those that had let their guilt overwhelm them, or that had had given into their bloodlust.

If a ninja had a mental breakdown, of any kind, they were sent here.

On both sides of the corridor were solid steel doors with heavy locks and a small window so the workers and doctors could see into them. At the bottom of each door was a small locked hinged door, these were used to push food through.

When he came to the last door in the corridor he stopped.

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves he looked through the small window in the door.

It was more or less the same as all the other cells, white walls with a simple cot in the corner.

What made this one stand out however was that the walls, floor and roof were covered in blue glowing seals, they were the only source of light in the cell and made it look like something out of a horror movie.

Another thing that made it stand out from the other cells was the fact that there was dried blood on the walls and floor along with the seals.

And finally, the other thing that set this cell apart from the others was that it was the only one that didn't have a shinobi.

This was the room of one Uzumaki Naruto.

After what had happened with the Haruno woman Sarutobi had done all he could to help Naruto. But when he started killing villagers he'd had no other choice but to put him here.

The seals were applied by his old student Jiraiya, who had been beside himself with rage when he heard about what had happened.

They were designed to do two things.

The first was to strengthen the walls of the cell and the second was to constantly drain as much of Naruto's chakra as possible.

It turned out that because of the amount of healing the Kyuubi had done to it Naruto's body had been practically saturated in its chakra.

This had resulted in Naruto gaining chakra reserves far beyond what was thought possible.

If anyone other than Naruto was to go in that room with the seals active, they would be killed in a matter of seconds. As it was, they only seemed to make him slightly tired.

When the boy had first been admitted they had sent a Yamanaka to try and assess his mental state. That had been a mistake. He was now in the cell next to Naruto's.

A few weeks later a doctor had gone in to try a talk to the boy and that was the source of the dried blood on the walls and floor.

Looking into the room Sarutobi started to panic when he didn't see anyone in the room. He was about to turn around to asked the doctor where Naruto was when he jumped back from the door, hart beating a mile a minuet when a face appeared just on the other side of the glass.

But it wasn't Naruto's.

The face in the glass was that of a pale girl with long messy black hair. She was so pale she had an almost blue shine to her skin, which was only accentuated by the glow of the seals.

She had dark rings around her mouth and glowing orange eyes, a small smirk on her face as she looked at Sarutobi.

Just looking at her sent shivers down the old Hokage's spine.

"Stop playing games Naruto, I'm not in the mood for it today."

The girl's smirk turned into a full-blown grin at the old mans words, showing her slime covered black teeth.

"Awww, you don't want to play with me? That's not fair. The doctors are boring; they've seen most of what I can do. But you, I've got so much I can show you."

Her voice sounded so innocent, like the tinkling of bells, it didn't seem right that a voice like that would come out of something so... Wrong.

The Hokage didn't say anything, just stared into her bright orange eyes.

Eventually, after the two had stared at each other for a few minuets, the girl broke eye contact and pouted.

As the two men watched they could see the face change into that of a blonde haired, blue eyed boy. His face covered in bandages.

"You're no fun old man."

Turning his back to the door Naruto walked away and jumped onto his cot in the corner.

This gave them a good view of the boy.

He had grown; when he was first brought here he was barely 3'5. Now, he was 4'6, and still growing. He was very thin, no matter what the doctors gave him he wouldn't put on weight. He was wearing a modified black strait jacket with a hood attached at the back of the neck, the sleeves hanging down past his arms, almost touching the floor.

Plane black trousers going down to just above his bandaged feet.

No skin could be seen.

He just lay there, staring at the roof. Every now and then he would brake out into chuckles, as if someone was telling him jokes that only he could hear.

If only they knew.

"How have you been Naruto?"

He didn't answer straight away, but when the Hokage was about to ask again he spoke.

"I am how I am and I'm not how I'm not." More laughing.

Sarutobi sighed again, he was used to this, getting round about answers that didn't really tell him anything.

He was about to turn away when he heard Naruto call him back.

"Hey, old man."

"... Yes, Naruto."

As he looked back at the boy he could see him trying to hold back more laughter.

"What has no legs, no arms and goes AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Naruto..."

"Guess."

"Stop it Naruto"

"GUESS!"

Sarutobi was slightly taken aback by that.

"I... Don't know Naruto, what is it."

At this point Naruto finally took his eyes off the roof and locked eyes with Sarutobi.

"A villager after I've pulled their limbs off."

They kept eye contact for several more seconds before Naruto started laughing again.

Without another word Sarutobi turned around and left, the sound of Naruto's insane laughter following him down the corridor.

Four years later

Five years.

It had been five years since 'the incident'.

Five years since Naruto had killed those people.

And five years since he had no other choice but to put Naruto in the school.

At least the new civilian council this time around didn't petition him everyday to execute the 'Kyuubi brat'.

They still didn't like the boy. But after what had happened, they were at least neutral.

He couldn't believe he let Danzo talk him into this, it was a big risk, but if it worked...

Making his way down the corridor towards Naruto's cell he couldn't help but hope the boy would agree.

Looking into the room it still surprised him just how much it took to keep the boy contained.

When he was younger it had been easy enough, just the seals around the room could stop him.

Then they found out that there was a side effect to the seals, because they were on all the time, putting a constant strain on Naruto's coils.

This resulted in his already unbelievable reserves growing even larger.

So every year they needed to increase the security.

The walls were the same, covered in seals and dried blood, but now there was no cot in the corner.

Naruto was knelt in the centre of the cell, with thick, black chains holding him into place bolted to the floor. The chains covered in the same seals as the walls.

The boy looked up when he noticed Sarutobi standing there. He didn't say anything, just stared at him with that insane grin he had become so well known for.

"How have you been Naruto?"

"I am how I am and I'm not how I'm not."

This had become a routine for the two; it was almost enough to bring a smile to the old mans face. It was one of the few things Naruto did that didn't have any malicious intent behind it.

"I have a proposition for you."

At this the boy got an odd look in his eye, this was different.

After making sure he had Naruto's full attention he continued.

"You can't spend the rest of your life here and the council agrees. So we have decided to offer you a chance to become a ninja of Konoha."

There was a moment of silence before Naruto's grin spread even wider.

"I'm listening."

"You would need to behave. No killing, or mauling, civilian, clients, classmates, teammates, teachers or other shinobi of the leaf."

"... I think I could do that."

This brought a smile to the old mans face.

He had agreed.

"Good, I will be back soon to take you to the academy to meet the other genin, as you don't know the academy Jutsu you will be allowed to skip the exam. Seeing as you are... well... you. I don't think you will have a problem."

As he turned to go and fill in the necessary paperwork he stopped when Naruto asked him a question.

"Hey, old man... I can still kill other ninja right?" at the end of this he was starting to chuckle to himself.

Sarutobi thought about that for a moment before saying.

"Yes, Naruto, you can kill other ninja."

And with that he left, listening to Naruto's laughter and thinking about what he was about to unleash on the shinobi world.

As Umino Iruka stood in front of his class room he could already feel the headache coming on. It was the last day and they still wouldn't be quiet.

Taking a big breath he did the hand sign for his infamous 'bighead Jutsu'.

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU BRATS!"

Instantly everything went quiet.

"That's better. Now as you know today is the day you are sorted into your three man teams, the problem with this is that we are one person short. However, the Hokage has found a suitable candidate and will be bringing them here in a few minuets. So I want you all on your best behaviour."

At hearing that there would be someone new the class burst into whispers.

Whoever it was, if they were hand picked by the Hokage himself then they must be strong.

It even got the attention of one Uchiha Sasuke.

'Finally, someone that might give me a challenge.'

It was at this point that Inuzuka Kiba decided to share his thoughts.

"Wait a minuet, what about the exam. We all took it; it's not fair if this new guy doesn't!"

"Calm down Kiba, there are special circumstances that not even I know about. But when they get here you can ask them yourself."

That seemed to satisfy the boy for the time being.

It was a few minuets later that a knock was herd at the door. The class fell silent again as Iruka went to open it.

"Welcome Hokage-sama, thank you for taking the time out of your day to come."

"It's no problem Iruka."

After the old Hokage walked into the room the class could see the boy stood behind him.

He was tall, very tall, and skinny. At 6'3 he was the tallest twelve year old any of them had ever seen. But because of the way he stood slightly hunched over it was hard to tell.

He had on a strange black jacket with what looked like buckles all over it, a hood sewed into the back of the neck and sleeves that went down past his hands and to his knees.

Long spiky blonde hair that went to just above his waste and bandages covering any exposed flesh from view.

The only parts of his face that could be seen were his blue eyes and his mouth that had a huge grin on his face.

It actually unnerved them a little.

It was at this point that they saw Iruka; he was backed against the wall, staring at the boy in front of him with wide fear filled eyes.

Seeing his reaction Sarutobi told the now clearly terrified man.

"Don't worry Iruka, Naruto has promised me he will behave himself,"

This did calm the man a little; if there was one thing known about the boy it was that he has never broken his word. It was a mystery; no matter how insane he was he still had some kind of moral code. Unfortunately nobody knew what most of it was accept the boy and maybe the Hokage.

But he was still not sure this was a good idea.

"Are you sure Hokage-sama?"

"Very, you have nothing to worry about, isn't that right Naruto?... Naruto?"

When the boy didn't answer the old man turned to face the boy.

But he wasn't there.

Quickly looking around he spotted the boy crouched on a desk staring down at Sasuke, their faces only inches apart.

The class and Iruka were stunned; they hadn't even seen him move.

When Sasuke had gotten over his own shock he asked in a clearly irritated voice.

"What are you looking at?"

Naruto just kept staring. When Sasuke had enough he was about to ask again and that was when Naruto asked.

"Did you know you have a duck ass on your head?"

At this the class burst out laughing, all except for the Uchiha and a few of his fan girls.

But when Sasuke made a grab at him he was already back next to the Hokage.

"Naruto... you said you would behave."

Naruto turned his face to look at him and replied.

"Nooo, I said I wouldn't kill, mame or permanently break them, you never said anything about behaving."

The class was shocked at his words, to talk about such things without any hesitation.

What the hell was wrong with this guy?

Sarutobi took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.

'At least he didn't kill anyone... yet.'

"Just introduce yourself so we can move on please."

"Whatever old man." Shocking the class yet again at his disrespect.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I like what I like and I hate what I hate, though... nothing I hate seems to be around for long when I hate it." After saying this he broke out into giggles.

"I don't have a dream or goal in my life, because quite frankly, I don't actually have any will to live, hahaha!" after seeing their faces when he said this he couldn't hold it in any longer, he laughed.

With the introduction out of the way Naruto just sat on the floor where he was.

Deciding to humour him the Hokage nodded to Iruka to continue with the team placements.

"R...Right, hm, well then. Team 1 will be comprised of..."

It went on like that for several minuets.

"Team 7, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Inuzuka Kiba under Hatake Kakashi."

When Iruka had said her name Sakura had jumped up screaming about true love.

It was then that Naruto saw her, and grinned wider.

When Sakura had calmed down Iruka had continued.

"Team 8, Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Shino and... Uzumaki Naruto, under Yuhi Kurenai."

"And finally, team 10, Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino under Sarutobi Asuma.

When he finished reading out the names he put down the list and said.

"I want you to know that I am proud of all of you and that I expect great things from you all, and remember, you are all shinobi of the leaf now. That is a big responsibility. I trust you to act accordingly. Your new instructors will be here soon to pick you up."

And with that both Iruka and the Hokage left the room, Iruka looking back over his shoulder as he went, then closing the door behind him.

Leaving the class alone with Naruto.

They all looked at him for a moment.

...And he just looked back with that huge grin on his face.

"I think I'm going to enjoy this."

Well that's that chapter done I would like to thank you all your support up to this point. I would also like to thank 'Incendie de Glace' for the idea he gave me. :) I will be trying to avoid bashing, but will make fun at points, also. Sasuke is not arrogant in this story just moody and sarcastic for know. I didn't put Naruto because of te history with sakura an Kakashi. Probably wont be able to update till next weekend or the one after that. As always R&R :)
