Naruto: Demon Reborn

Chapter 7: Academy years

"My name is one you should all learn very quickly." Naruto said as he slowly pulled his hood up. "I am Naruto Uzumaki, container of the nine tailed fox." He said as he stood up and let his tail fall free removing his hood completely revealing his ears and fangs. "I am the embodiment of your nightmares." The class erupted in shouts of demon and other such insults filled the class room serving only to make Iruka angrier and angrier by the second until he couldn't take it any longer.

"SETTLE DOWN RIGHT NOW!" Iruka exclaimed his head seemingly growing to unreal proportions to get his point across. Surely it was Naruto's imagination getting the better of him. As the class calmed down either from being bored or from fear of Iruka's shouts Iruka decided to tell them the outline for the next four years of their teachings. Year one would be the basic studies like math and history of the hidden leaf village. The second year would teach them about the clans of the village and of other villages. The third year they would start with learning taijutsu and light spars and the fourth year would be basic ninjutsu learning and the final exam where they would be placed in their teams upon graduation.

Deciding that there wasn't going to be much else to do for the day Iruka let the students go home early, they would need their rest for the next day.

Naruto made his way back home laying on his bed for a minute relaxing before starting his workout from Kyubi, burning through the rest of the day like it was nothing he soon retired to bed.

Year one-

Year one went like how Iruka had explained, they learned of the Hokages and other kages of the other hidden villages. Also he taught them basic math skills that he was going to further on later in the second year. They also gave several tests but for Naruto they were different. They were harder, much harder than they should be. They were trying to cheat him out of the school. Just another reason that they all had to pay, not even the teachers cared about him. Sasuke Uchiha was absent for most of that year, he never told anyone the reason.

Year two-

During year two, something happened that hadn't happened before in leaf village academy history. A first year student actually moved up into the second year class. This was a very odd thing indeed but the child's knowledge of math and history was on par with the second year class student and he knew a little ninjutsu, they were basic but it was still impressive for an eight year old. Naruto learned of the clans of the leaf but what really interested him was one of the clans from an old village that was destroyed long ago. The clan was said to be extinct but with the power that Iruka was saying they had, there was no way that they could have died out. 'I will have to remember that clan's name' He thought.

No one noticed the new kid flinch when they talked about that clan.

Year Three-

It was Naruto's favorite year or at least second favorite. Taijutsu training. He already knew a very secret form that he was saving for a rainy day but he also knew a couple others that weren't commonly known but even a low chunin would recognize the forms he was going to use frequently. He quickly rose to being the top student in the class when it came to taijutsu Sasuke was second and it really irked him that Naruto was better than him. The other class members were fairly close rated Hinata Hyuga fell down the ratings due to her friendly nature and unwillingness to hurt others until she was rated last for the class Naruto wondered why she held back, she had the potential to be second in the class but she always held back.

Year Four-

Naruto was ecstatic about this year, not only had he been continually training with the fox's never ending hell training, but the fox had told him something very interesting that morning

-flashback-

Naruto woke up in his mindscape, somewhere he hadn't been in a while, those cracked walls had been restored and took on a slightly red color with wall mounted candles burning slightly. he didn't question it. He simply walked up to the Kyubi's cage and awaited the fox's acknowledgement. He didn't have to wait long.

"Naruto, I have to tell you something important."

"What is it Sensei?" Naruto asked.

"There is a mutation in your bloodstream I haven't been able to find out exactly what it is yet but do not worry, it isn't going to kill you. That much I can tell." The fox said.

"That's good to know, Thank you Sensei." Naruto said as he gave a bow and returned into the real world.

-Flashback End-

The year went the same as the previous year the standings were the same right up till the final day of class. Sasuke was getting worse and worse he didn't care about anything but power and revenge. Everyone knew about the massacre by now and all of his fan club tried to get closer to him by offering him a home and such. Naruto used it to his advantage and insulted him more and more about it during their spars getting him angrier and angrier, letting his rage cloud his judgment therefore getting sloppy.

However Naruto didn't care about those 'play fights' they had them do he always held back anyway. Today was the day that he cared about, it was the graduation exam. He was ready for anything, as the names were rolled down finally it was his turn.

He walked into the exam room as he stared both Iruka and Mizuki down making both of them uneasy.

"Okay Naruto the exam is simple this year, Just make-"

"THREE HUNDRED CLONES" Mizuki interrupted smirking at his plan to fail the demon and get him to do his work for him.

Naruto sighed he knew this would happen someone was always trying to keep him down luckily he had the fox's help the fox knew almost every jutsu in the world he only taught Naruto one and that was the shadow clone jutsu. He taught it to him so that it may help him get free one day, so far no luck. However it helped this situation perfectly.

He did the hand signs for the jutsu being a ninja meant being about stealth and deception. Naruto blended the hand signs together to create an illusion that he only did it for the clone jutsu.

"CLONE JUTSU!" he shouted as three hundred clones filled the room all smirking at Mizuki who had his jaw hanging in surprise. Naruto walked up to the table with the headbands and took the last one tucking it away in his pocket before walking out of the room silently, smirking as he left.

"Very nice display back there child, you didn't even use my chakra." The fox said.

"I aim to please Sensei, I aim to please." Naruto said as he left for home wondering who would be on his team.
