Chapter 7

AN: Thank you all for your following and favoring it makes me so happy, YOSH MY FLAMES OF YOUTH ARE BURNING BRIGHTLY. Now there is one tincy wincey thing you could do for me and that is review. I feel like I'm getting the hang of this but I really need your guys input on what would make it flow better or look better thx. Also if you notice anything that you think if from another fic well it might be, I read so much sometimes ill remember something I read and think I make it up so sry.

Naruto awoke early the next morning with about thirty minutes left before his alarm clock went off. Deciding that he was too excited to go back to sleep he got up and went over to the calendar on the wall. After marking a big X in the center of the O that designated the first day of school he went to the bathroom to take a shower and change.

Coming back to his room naruto put on the clothes that had been picked out for his first day, Kakashi and Jiraiya had been the ones to pick out the outfit saying that first impressions were important. So naruto ended up wearing some black sandals along with black and orange pants with a flame pattern on the bottom, he also wore a white t- shirt with a yellow uzumaki swirl pattern on it and a black and orange windbreaker that he left unzipped.

Turning around to make his bed Naruto noticed that while he had been gone Nikko had curled up with its head on the pillow and the rest of its body under the covers. After moving a very reluctant Nikko off the bed and making it the two of them went down stairs. Nikko was let outside for a bit and wondering what to do with the hour or so he had before class naruto decided on sitting on the couch and reading the "Ledged of the Gutsy Ninja" that Jiraiya had bought him. A couple of chapters in and naruto heard Kakashi come down the stairs.

"Ohh good morning naruto you are up early." said Kakashi who looked dressed and ready for the day ahead.

"Yeah once I woke up I was too excited to go back to sleep, and you were right I was really tired last night." Replied the blond marking his page and putting down the book.

"I bet so are you hungry?" asked Kakashi already knowing the answer, the boy was always hungry. After getting a 'yes' naruto let Nikko back inside and the two of them went into the kitchen to make some breakfast.

A little while after that they heard a knocking at the door, knowing who it was naruto went to get his gear for school while Kakashi talked to Tsunade and Jiraiya outside on the steps.

Once naruto and Nikko had returned with their school supplies they, along with Tsunade and Jiraiya started the trek to the academy. Once they had made it to the academy grounds they started to notice other families walking with their kids to the school, or some of the older students coming by themselves.

"Ok Naruto" said Jiraiya "The first thing you do when you get to class is see how many cute girls are in your class and…" Jiraiya did not get to finish that sentience because of a chakra enhanced punch sending him into the ground.

"Don't listen to your grandfather" said tsunade " what you need to do is make a lot of friends and make sure you listen to everything your teacher says, now let's make sure you look nice for your first day." Stated the older blond who was trying to flatten naruto's hair and fix the collar to his jacket.

Ducking away from her hands naruto tried to refix his hair the way he had it. "I look fine" huffed naruto.

"Naruto, hey over here" yelled a bobbing head of pink hair that was running towards naruto followed by another head of blonde hair.

"Hey sakura" said naruto "I was wondering if you would be coming to class today, I'm glad you decided to."

'Yip yip' barked Nikko who was sniffing around sakura's legs and wagging his tail wanting to be picked up and petted.

"Ohh who is this cute little guy, naruto when did you get a puppy?" asked sakura who had bent down and started to pet Nikko's fir.

"His name is Nikko and he's my summon animal, I just learned how to use summons night before last."

"he's so nice" said the rosette who was now rubbing Nikko's belly "can you summon anymore companions?"

"No so far Nikko is the only one, but Kur… urhm" coughed out naruto trying to cover what he had about said. "Kakashi said he and Jiraiya would teach me more in a couple semesters."

"Fore-head are you going to introduce me or not?" huffed the blonde female.

"Ino this is Naruto Uzumaki and his grandparents Tsunade and Jiraiya of the Sannin" said sakura pointing to each of the people standing around the school yard.

"The Sannin?" shouted Ino "Sakura there famous you caint just say that like its nothing."

'Wow imagine how much this girl will freak when she learns who Naruto's guardian is, or who his parents are for that matter' chuckled Jiraiya to him self.

"Well kid I see you are already on your way to making friends with a bunch of cute girls so I'll leave the rest to you." said the sage.

"See you this evening Naru-chan, me and shizune should be waiting by the front gate." said Tsunade turning and walking away.

"So naruto do you know any more people who might be in our class?" asked Sakura

"Well there are only two more that I really know they are Sasuke Uchiha, and Shikamaru Nara."

"Wow my dad said that our class would be full of clan heirs guess he was right." said Ino who had somehow ended up leading the way into the building and to their class. "I wonder who else will be oomph" said Ino running into a wall named Kiba Inuzuka.

Turning around the dog-tamer stared at Ino "Hello there babe, did my awesomeness blind you so much that you couldn't see where you were going and ran into me?" smirked Kiba.

"Out of my way you scruffy looking mutt." said Ino brushing the dog hairs off of her shirt.

"Hey I'm not a mutt, and you whiskers, what's up with your little dog there tell him to stop growling at Akamaru" while the humans had been going back and forth Akamaru and Nikko had been on the ground with fur raised and teeth bared growling at each other.

"His name is Nikko and he's my summons." said naruto

"Summon what's that?" said Kiba

"Ughh that's when you can summon other animals to come and help you you stupid flea brain." said Ino

"uchh of course I knew that."

"Hah yeah sure ya did." said naruto picking up Nikko and moving his way past Kiba and into the classroom. "Sauske what are you doing here so early" he shouted and ran down to set beside the Uchiha who was staring out of the window.

"Ohh hey naruto, Itachi dropped me off early before he went off on a mission."

"Hey naruto you know it's not nice to forget to introduce your friends." said sakura moving to sit down next to naruto.

'Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.' thought Ino taking up a seat beside sakura and closest to the walkway between the desks.

"Sauske this is Sakura and Ino." said naruto

"Hey" said sauske turning back to looking out of the window.

"Sorry girls he doesn't say much." Said naruto handing Nikko over to Sakura and Ino who wanted to pet him.

The four sat there for about twenty more minutes talking between themselves and watching all of the other students filling in, and Nikko ended up laying on Sakura's lap getting petted. Eventually their teacher and another man came into the class room and tried to get everyone to settle down

"Ok everyone I need you to quiet down, ok just calm down, HEY SHUT UP IM TALKING HERE!" Shouted the teacher using the 'Big Head' jutsu, instantly everyone's heads snapped towards the front of the classroom and their mouths snapped shut, even Nikko and Akamaru had their ears back and their tails between their legs.

"Thank you now my name is Iruka Umino and I will be your classes' teacher from now until you graduate the academy." Said Iruka who was going to his desk and handing some papers to the other man. "This is Mizuki and he is my teacher's assistant, and the papers he is handing out are some forms you will need to take home and get signed and a test."

"WHAT"

"Ohh man"

"Troublesome"

Was the response from the whole class once the teacher said that they were going to have a test, on the first day.

"Umm sensei" said sakura raising her hand "why are we having a test on our first day?"

"The reason is to test your starting knowledge so we can see how much you learn over the school courses, later before lunch there will be some sparring to get your baseline taijutsu levels."

After the explanation Mizuki went around the classroom handing out the tests to the students, looking at the paper naruto noticed that most of it was basic history and definitions that he had learned in the books Kakashi had made him read. Simple questions like who did the first hokage battle at the valley of the end, what were the top clans that made up the council, and what was chakra.

Naruto was able to quickly get through the test and having some time to kill decided to look around the room and see who all was in his class. 'that fat kid looks more interested in eating his chips than doing the test, and of course Shikamaru is asleep with his head on the desk, wonder who that weird kid with the jacket and hood covering his entire body except for his face is the dude even has on some goggles.' He also noticed that there was some weird girl who kept looking over at him then looking away really fast 'wonder what's up with her?' thought naruto.

Eventually Mizuki came back around to pick up the papers from the tests telling the students that if they did score low it wouldn't effect their grade so not to worry too much.

"Ok class" said Iruka " we are going to head outside to the training yard where you will be matched up with each other in a 1 on 1 spar."

As the class started to file down the stairs naruto picked up a now sleeping Nikko to keep him from being steped on, only to be pushed out of the way by an excited kiba.

"Whoop yeah me and Akamaru are going to show everyone that we are the best, especially you whiskers." shouted Kiba

Naruto and Nikko following the example of the coolest ninja in the village just walked right on by like he hadn't even heard a word Kiba had said. Once they got out side they all gathered in a large circle around one of the sparring rings with Iruka standing in the center as a referee.

"ok kids now during your 1on1 match you can only use taijutsu seeing as how I doubt many of you know any ninjutsu yet. Also the matches will be determined by either a knockout, being knocked out of the ring, or will be declared a tie after five minutes have passed." Said Iruka "Now I will let Mizuki pick two names from my clipboard to see who will go first."

"Let's see round and round she goes where she stops nobody knows. Ok how about Hinata Hyuga verses Sauske Uchiha." Announced Mizuki who had pulled out a spinning wheel with all of their names on it from somewhere while no one was looking.

After the names where called out the two went out to the center of the ring.

"I'm fighting a girl? Is that fair sensei?" asked Sauske "I'm sorry Hinata I don't want to end up hurting you."

"It's ok I will try to do my best, it was nice of you to worry about me though." replied the shy Hyuga.

"Yes its fair sauske you will end up fighting against and with some very strong Kunoichi in your career so you better get used to it," replied Iruka "ok now if there are no more questions begin."

After Iruka said begin Sauske started to run at Hinata, once he was in arms range on her he crouched down and used his legs to spring up and try to knee Hinata in the chin only for it to be blocked by Hinata putting both hands on his knee and using the momentum to jump back and put distance between the two.

Sauske came closer and tried a couple of punches and low kicks to her shins to knock her off balance but all of them kept being blocked by the girl. But that seemed to be all she done, while sauske would throw punches and kicks Hinata would just keep blocking and backing up never going on the offensive or attacking.

Finally after blocking a strong punch with her forearms that pushed Hinata's feet back Iruka called the match.

"Sauske is the winner on account of a ring out" said Iruka, causing the two fighters to look down at their feet and it was true after the last punch Hinata's back foot had slid over the line out of the ring. "Sauske you did very well but you kept trying the same thing over and over; to break a good defense you need to try different strategies. And Hinata while your defense was good you never once threw a punch you need to get over whatever fear is keeping you back." the teacher said turning the spar into a lesson.

As the fighters went back to stand with their friends Mizuki turned back to his giant spinning wheel and gave it a giant shove "Ok will Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka please step into the ring."

As the two girls started their round Iruka noticed a small white dog and a brown fox looking animal growling and circling each other. As he got closer he noticed two of his students Kiba and Naruto were managing to do a good impersonation of them dogs themselves.

"Hey you two" said Iruka moving to get between his students "Don't you know you can't bring your pets to school they need to stay home."

"Akamaru isn't just my pet, I'm Kiba Inuzuka of the great Inuzuka clan and we use our dogs to fight alongside us in battle." Said Kiba puffing out his chest and taking a pose he deemed heroic.

"I'm naruto and this is Nikko," said the blond pointing down to the Eevee that had forgotten all about Akamaru for the moment and was sniffing at Iruka's pant legs "He isn't a pet either he's my summons." Smiled the blond.

'summons at his age how is that possible' thought Iruka "well I think I'm going to let you work off some steam, the four of you will be fighting in the next round." he said pointing at the boys and their companions.

Back on the training field Sakura and Ino were still going at it, though neither one was doing a great job of it. While a lot of punches were thrown very few were blocked, and neither one took advantage of the openings that were left after the attacks. Finally after the five minutes were up Iruka called the match and the two tired girls left the ring.

"Ok that wasn't too bad so don't worry you still have a couple of years before graduation to work on it. Now instead of doing the next match randomly I have decided to have Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka face off since both of them have companions to help them fight."

The two boys eagerly ran up to the ring followed by their partners. Once Iruka gave the go ahead the two boys started circling each other like dogs sometimes do when they are sizing each other up. At some unknown signal both Kiba and Akamaru shot forward to attack naruto, who after seeing the dog tamer start to move had also lept towards Kiba.

The two met in the middle and started to trade blows, but if the first match was a dance then this was a slugfest. Neither one really had any sort of style or technique other than to just pound the other into the ground. While the two humans were slugging it out like they were in a bar fight instead of a ninja academy Akamaru and Nikko were rolling around on the ground clawing and nipping at each other.

After a couple of minutes Naruto and Kiba jumped back both panting and looking worse for the wear; Seeing that the match was pretty much over Iruka called it.

"Ok it's a draw you to, and while you guys have a great amount of stamina your attacks had no style and you didn't even try to block or dodge. Also you say you are a dog tamer Kiba, and naruto you claim to be a summoner but you forgot about the most important part of that, you companions. You to just left them to fend on their own, you guys need to work on teamwork with your partners." Said Iruka

"Your teacher is right kit" said Kurama "that was embarrassing to watch you let your anger at Kiba make you forget everything Kakashi has been teaching you."

'I'm sorry Kurama' replied naruto as he walked over to stand by sauske and the girls. 'I really do need to work on the team work more, I'm sorry to disappoint you.'

"Nahh you didn't disappoint me I mean it was only your first battle after all. But I do have a plan for how you can get better with working with Nikko and your future summons."

'How's that?' replied the blond

"Well that Kiba kid is in the same boat as you are."

'I'm not in a boat.'

"Once again kit that is a metaphor, anyways you both need the same kind of training and his family is famous for fighting alongside their dogs. So see if you can convince him to get someone in his clan to help you train he would also make a good sparring partner so you can get used to fighting other people who might have summons." Said the Kyubi

'Ok I'll try' said naruto coming back to the outside world just as two more students walked out of the circle.

The rest of the time before lunch went by quickly with the clan heirs making short work against some of the no name students. Though when it came time for the Nara heir to fight he was nowhere to be found, after Iruka and Mizuki spent ten minutes looking they found him lying under one of the trees taking a nap, after poking and prodding him awake they finally got him into the ring just for him to walk out of it once the match had been called. This earned the Nara afterschool detention which was fine by him since it meant he had more time to sleep before he went home and did chores.

After the matches everyone was excused to go eat lunch and it being a pretty day most of the class decided to eat outside instead of the school's cafeteria. Naruto, Ino, Sakura, and Sauske had all piled around one of the tables outside and were enjoying their lunch. Naruto had packed leftovers from the previous night's meal to eat, and sakura and Ino were both busy feeding Nikko scraps from their plates.

Naruto remembering what Kurama said started looking around for Kiba, he found the boy and his dog over by the bushes where they were rolling around in the grass. Picking up Nikko naruto decided to go over and make nice and find some way to get training.

"Now Nikko don't try to pick a fight with Akamaru, be nice" said naruto "we want them to help us so you have to behave."

"urn" replied Nikko not sounding pleased but agreeing anyway.

Finally making their way over to Kiba naruto put Nikko down who ran off to see what Akamaru was trying to flush out from the bushes.

"Hey your names Kiba right?" said naruto

"Yeah what's it to you whiskers?" replied Kiba

'I will not hit him, I will not hit him' repeated naruto over and over in his head, after the urge to inflict permanent bodily harm passed he held out his hand for Kiba to shake it.

"First off the names naruto not whiskers and I wanted to talk to you about what Iruka sensei said."

"What about it" said Kiba reluctantly taking Naruto's hand and giving it a shake.

"Well he said that our fight stunk and that we had no team work with our partners and you were saying how your family was famous for working with their nin-dogs. And I was just figuring we could go and get someone in your family to help teach us a bit."

'Hook' thought Kurama

"well I dotn know?" said Kiba scratching his head " most of the stuff like the jutsus are clan secrets."

"Well that ok I'm mostly just interested in the taijutsu, and think about it if you have a good sparring partner you will get much stronger faster, or at least that's what my uncle says."

'Line' at this point Kurama was rubbing his hands together like a Saturday morning villain.

"I dotn know"

"Well what will it hurt to ask, I mean do you know anyone who might help?" asked naruto

"My sister maybe, she's the village vet. Yeah sure why not, it's a deal whiskers I'll let you train with me if you will be my sparring partner"

'Sinker' snickered Kurama

"Well should we go see this evening?" asked kiba

"Sure why not, ok well later dog breath." said naruto wavering as he walked away from the Kiba.

"AN: end part one of the first day of school, we should be in the school arc for a little bit longer. So how did my first fight go? Good, bad, terrible? Also I just started working as a bag boy part time at ingles goodnews now my parents will get off my back (I mean as if school isn't enough) bad news since I don't have my schedule yet I don't know what the updates are gonna look like. Hopefully just 1 maby 2 weeks between chapters max, also depends if im in a naruto mood."
