Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies!

Naruto Crossover with Kids Next Door, Blood Lab and Is that a Zombie?

Chapter 4)

The next morning, Naruto woke up and found out that he beat his alarm and set it off before the irritating beeping could start.

He starts on his morning routine, got dressed, and left the run down apartment for the academy, avoiding the main roads, wearing a real smile, that made his heart pump.

Naruto then raced towards the academy gates and waited on top of the tree where he met his new friends, who actually gave him a chance. He then wondered how his actual first day of class will go, with people not giving him dirty looks or having nasty put downs.

He shrugged his shoulders and made his way past the academy gates, heading towards the classroom he was supposed to be in.

He knocked twice and heard a polite, "Come in, please."

Naruto went inside and closed the door behind him.

"Oh, good morning Naruto-kun. Are you always this early?"

"No, not really. Most of the time I'm late or I don't show at all."

"Well, it seems you getting up on your own, so it is a good habit to keep."

"Alright, so what are we going to do today, Ranko-sensei?"

"Ah~, that would be sparring for today, along the week you will see how everyone is treated and taught. So don't be discouraged at the slow pace of the results of your training, as everyone goes at their own pace. "

"Yes, sensei," Naruto said, with a smile.

Inside he was bursting with excitement at what to expect.

"Hey, Naruto!" Shu said.

"Yo Naru-chan!" Sasha greeted

"Hey, guys!" He returned the greeting.

"Today's sparring day, I can't wait. I wonder what stance your sensei will fit for you?" She said.

"It will be interesting that's for sure." Shu replied.

"What stance do you guys have or does everyone have their own unique stance?"

"Everyone has their own unique stance that is based off a regular stance," Ranko said, cutting into their conversation.

"Good morning, Ranko-sensei."

"Good morning you two. Why don't you lead Naruto to the training group we use."

"Sure."

"Alright."

"You guys, don't use the academy training ground?"

"No, we bought our private training ground and we use it for various training methods of different levels."

"Now come on!"

"Alright, alright I'm coming!"

"See you there, sensei!"

"Later kids." She waved them off.

They all raced off to training ground 41, where Naruto saw all the other students gathering around in their groups talking about certain topics as Shu lead Naruto around, waving hi to anyone who greeted them.

The training group was huge, with areas that different level wooden training dummies, a small lake, a grassland and a training ground.

"This is so cool~."

"I know, right?"

A whistle, then resounded through the training ground, grabbing the attention of all the students.

"Everyone gather around, we are gonna explain today's activities." Jackson said, clapping his hands.

Everyone soon gathered around the trio of teachers and waited with bated breath for what they were going to do today.

"Okay, everyone. Those that need help with their taijutsu practice will be on one side, the rest will run the obstacle course."

"Yes sir."

The class split up and one part went their way to the obstacle course and others including Naruto went with Jackson to the grassland.

"Alright, you guys. Practice your stances, I'm going to be working with Naruto for the next 45 minutes and then I will go over all your stances for today to see how far you all are, understand?"

"Yes sir!" The class stated, going to a different combos of stances and katas, partnering up and having the more experienced ones oversee their training with Shu, being the leader.

"Alright, now what did you learn so far in the methods of Taijutsu?"

"I'm pretty sure I suck, because when looking at their stances. What I picked up would make all taijutsu experts and teachers burst into tears or start a riot." Naruto finished.

"Ah~, yeah. It must be about the common dislike most of idiots of this village seems to place on you, huh?"

A shrug was his only answer.

"Well, screw all the haters then. You're just more awesome then them. Hell, most people can't go through half the stuff you went through when they are adults, nevertheless at your age. I wouldn't be surprised nor blame you if you became dark and broody, because of it."

"Me? Dark and broody, like Sasuke? Gross!" Naruto balked at the thought of being all moody and depressing.

"True, that kid looks like he needs an overdose of happy pills."

"No kidding."

"Anyways, how about you flush everything you learned from before, and I will teach you everything that you need to know. So let's start from the beginning. What are the stances you know of?"

"Well, the stances of the fire fist, ocean fist, monkey fist, tiger claw, strong fist, snake strike, shadow fist and lastly..the fox spirit style, which has been banned for as long as I've been alive." Naruto finished.

"They say you don't pay attention."

"I don't. I pay attention to things that interest me."

"Like most teens." Jackson finished with a smile.

"Alright, since you know. I will teach you two fighting stances and then I will teach you the fox spirit style and the snake strike fighting style."

"But, aren't thos-"

"The two most hated taijutsu methods in all of Konoha?" Naruto asked.

"Yep, they are. However, I know you can make them reknown for their strength and speed again. Everyone's style is different as their personality as your pranks and your ability to get away and your ability of speed shows your way for the fox and your agility and sneakiness shows of the snake."

"So, I start my payback by not giving a shit about what the villagers think for once, right?"

"Pretty much."

"Alright, I'm ready."

"Good."

Jackson spends the rest of their 45 minutes, teaching Naruto the basic stances for the Spirit fox style and the snake strike style.

"Alright, once more Naruto."

"Yes!"

Naruto, then went into a soft stance and waited for Jackson to attack, which he did after a stare down of several minutes and went for a left jab, following up by several snap kicks and front punches, to which Naruto worked on avoidance.

"Good job so far and the teachers here think you're a failure. What a load of bull. I can't wait to see what you can do when you create your own fighting style." Jackson said, messing up Naruto's spiky hair.

"Thank you, sensei." Naruto said, blushing.

"No problem. Now-" *Ring!*

"Seems the 45 minutes are up. Time to head back."

"Okay."

The pair, then left the grassland and met up with the rest of the class and switched.

"Hey, Naruto. How was it?"

"It was really awesome, Shu. I love it and he helped me pick out my own styles as well."

"Of course, he does that for all the new ones. I'll get more in depth with that later, I will tell you about the obstacle course, that hurts like a bitch on your first try of it. Are you up for it?"

"Hell yeah. Now, tell me where to start."

Shu smiled and let him around the entire obstacle course, giving him an overview of the entire place and said, "Let's see what you do, Naruto."

Naruto smiled back and prepared himself for the course and then he started, ducking, avoiding and dodging the swinging limbs of the wooden dummies and looking all around him, using his senses help him with unseen obstacles and opponents.

He finished the course in with a time period of 4 minutes and 26 seconds, with no scraps at all.

"How'd did you do that?" A girl with raven-tinted hair asked.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"You completed the obstacle course so quickly, that's what she's asking." Shu said.

"Oh, I just went and did it. Almost like instinct."

'It appears that the mob hunts were useful for something.' Naruto thought, sadly.

"Naruto?"

"Sorry, I blanked out for a second there."

"It's fine. Everyone is heading to towards the next class. Oh yeah, I keep forget that you're new here. The class for the V section is Taijutsu, Weapons, Genjutsu, Writing and Ninjutsu Practice."

"Thank you."

"Don't worry about it. Just make the best out of it." Shu said, raising his hand.

"I will, I haven't had this much fun in years." Naruto said, grabbing the offered hand, to shake.

"I'll show to your next class."

"Alright."

Naruto, truly enjoyed his classes and he felt he learned something, even if he got some things wrong no one blamed him for it and he got to meet a lot of different students from Sectors W and Z and became friends with them as they didn't judge him and enjoyed his company.

Technically, it was better than ditching class with Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji as they were more than lesson skipping acquaintances, then friends.

Soon, the school day was over far too soon for his tastes, even he surprised himself by saying the one thing he never thought he would actually say. He waved off his friendly classmates and walked home with Sasha and Shu, but he didn't know that he was being watched by the Hokage via crystal ball.

"I'm really happy for you, Naruto-kun. I've seen that smile in a long time." The third Hokage said, smiling, a few years coming back to him.

However, a knock on his door interrupted him.

"Come in."

Two ABNU entered the room.

"Yes?"

"The civilian council has requested your presence in the council room."

Sarutobi sighed and rubbed his temples. "Tell them, I will be there momentarily."

The two ABNU than flashed out and leaving him alone in his office.

He turned to the portraits of all of the past Hokages and looked particularly at the last one, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"You would be proud of him, Minato, but extremely disappointed in the village, not that I blame you, so am I." He finished off, with a sigh.

He got up from his chair and stretched and then flashed to council meeting room.

"What did you call me for?"

"We are all gathered here to discuss one person."

"And who would take person be?" Already knowing, who they wanted to talk about with reluctance.

"Naruto Uzumaki."

Ending it. Next chapter, sorry for the long wait. Anyways, onward to the next chapter. I wonder what I should write next.
