Nothin is mine.
I just updated a big mistake, forgot to put one of the techniques Naruto learns.
Steel Will
Chapter 7
Friendship is like wetting yourself,
everyone can see it,
but only you can feel the warm feeling it gives.
-Uzumaki Naruto describes friendship.
Naruto soon found out the academy isn't what it's made out to be.
He saw posters and frankly, propaganda, about the academy.
It seemed so cool when he was younger, promises of becoming a powerful ninja, being basked in glory and being a hero.
Is being a famous killer really being a hero?
Well in his world it was.
Naruto listened with full interest as Iruka talked about the previous Hokage, the people he was going to surpass.
Naruto looked around the room, he hasn't made a friend yet. Everyone seems to ignore him, he hasn't tried approaching someone yet.
He blames Tenzos teaching for that.
That Kurama next to him was...ok.
She gave him quiz answers when he didn't know the answers. She didn't talk to him at all, but she was the closest thing Naruto has to a friend (his age).
Mizuki was a dick, and that's being nice. He was assigned to help Naruto catch up, because the instructors did not know Naruto had prior training.
The minute he had a one on one session Mizuki beat the crap out of him.
Not that he couldn't defend himself, it was just that he didn't expect the unnecessary roughness.
Iruka was distant with him, not that they knew each other well or anything. He always saw Iruka helping the other classmates with anything, but he did not help Naruto once.
Speaking of classmates there are some that interest him.
There was a pink haired girl in his class, like pink pink.
That was an example of the village making the ninja life seem less dangerous. When pink haired girls join the academy.
She's probably anorexic too, a description might be necessary.
Her name was Haruno Sakura, she had long pink hair, a red dress of some kind definitely made for a civilian, make up that will probably give her a skin infection, kinda cool looking light green eyes, and a HUGE forehead.
It covered like half of her face.
She didn't seem like someone Naruto would like, but the hair is just interesting.
She and Yamanaka Ino, a pretty blond haired girl with light blues eyes, where the captains of the Uchiha Sasuke fan club AKA ravenous animals.
Sasuke was the brother of Itachi, the mass murderer, and the only (loyal) survivor of his clan.
Naruto was fairly certain he was emo.
He always had the ' I have serious mental issues look' on his face. Other then that no emotion.
He was a so called 'genius' though, which Naruto completely disagreed with.
Genius is graduating at five like Kakashi.
Sasuke was good at pretty much everything, his Taijutsu was above average and his Ninjustsu was flawless.
He may be better at Ninjutsu then Naruto, but Taijutsu the blonde was better.
Naruto could see multiple girls swooning over the guy, what was so special about him?
He had dark black hair in a strange shape, the back was sticking up like bedhead. Dark eyes too. All in all pretty generic.
Probably because he was the last in one of the founding clans in the village, so technically he's prince.
Every girls dream.
Well except one, there was this one REALLY strange girl in his class, Her name was Hyuuga( Hyuga?) Hinata.
She was part of the most prestigious clans in the village.
And she just kept staring at him, making him completely self conscious.
She had pale lavender eyes the Byakugan(White Eyes) that was the Doujutsu(Eye Technique) of her clan, allowing the user to see through walls and a 360 degree field of vision.
She creeped him out when she just looked at him.
Nobody else really interested him.
The other clan kids were just regular children, nothing to really worry about.
Naruto ate his ramen fast, it was the morning of the final day of the academy, he was to do the examination and finally become a ninja.
He was up early because of Kakashi, he woke him uo.
As he finished his ramen Kakashi, who was reading his book, slowly looked at him.
He spoke up,"So it's graduation day"
"Yes"
"Will you pass?"
"Yes"
"Are you sure?"
Naruto stood up " Kakashi, are you doubting THE Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Yes"
Naruto deflated, grumbling as he threw away his ramen cup.
Kakashi spoke up again, his strange eye smile forming,"Don't worry you'll do fine, and when you do pass I got a gift for you."
Naruto looked at him with narrowed eyes,"Is it a book called 'The Kunai and it's Sheath' like my last birthday? Because that was disgusting."
Kakashi chuckled," Don't worry you'll love it."
Naruto smiled as he ran out the door," I better!"
Naruto gulped the Bunshin(Clone), he forgot about that.
He had issues performing it.
The Kawarimi(Body Replacement) or substitution, where you replace your body with anything (similar sizes to you are easier and smaller objects are tougher to replace with) was down.
So was Henge(transformation) where you use chakra shell to alter your appearance.
The Bunshin was another shell of chakra, this time outside your body and usually in shape of yourself. Good for distracting an enemy.
But Naruto couldn't do it. It always failed and he doesn't know why.
Naruto sighed, it was a gamble, but he had to do it.
Naruto saw Sasuke walk into the room, a new headband shiny on his head.
Naruto clenched his fists. He had to pass, he needed a nice metal headband!
Iruka spoke up,"Uzumaki Naruto, follow me to the examination room"
He walked with Iruka into the room, it was bare and small. A small table on the side of the room with logs on them for Kawarimi.
Mizuki was there giving him the same exact look as always.
He needs to pass, he can't spend another year with Mizuki.
Iruka spoke up," Naruto, it's time for Taijutsu, since you sparred with Mizuki a lot you'll be fighting me, ok?"
Naruto nodded getting into an advanced version of the Leafs Taijutsu, the academy style was a much simpler version of it.
Iruka nodded at him and Naruto charged.
Naruto quickly threw a straight fist at Iruka, when he blocked it Naruto swiped his foot, hoping to bring Iruka down. Iruka quickly jumped back, looking down.
He then narrowly dodged the jab going at his face, by leaning his head. Naruto brought his knee up hitting Irukas flak jacket. He then grabbed Irukas arm by the wrist going in for a headbutt.
Naruto hit his head on a log, Iruka substituted.
The academy teacher was impressed, Mizuki said Naruto was terrible. But he just saw firsthand how good the blonde boy was.
Mizuki gritted his teeth.
Iruka gave the blonde a smile,"Good job, that was Tai, and since we don't test Genjutsu, we'll being doing Nin."
Iruka looked at his partner," Mizuki I'm getting a drink, this room is hot, please test Naruto."
Mizuki nodded and smiled maliciously.
He then looked at the boy," Do a Henge"
Iruka walked out and Naruto Henged into the Hokage.
Mizuki scribbled something and looked back at him, "Time for Kawarimi."
Naruto didn't expect Mizuki to pull out real shuriken from his bag instead of the blunted trainee ones.
Nor did he expect to them to be whipped at him as fast as the teacher could manage.
Mizuki had a smile on his face, but it faded as he saw a log riddled with his tools.
He looked behind him and saw Naruto inspecting one of his shuriken," There is a bit of rust on this, and chipping. You need to take care of your things."
Mizuki glared and was about to speak when a refreshed Iruka walked in.
He looked at Mizuki," Whats next?"
"Bunshin"
Naruto took a deep breath, he was ready.
He walked into the center of the room.
Naruto was on top of the academy roof, heartbroken.
He failed. Stupid clones.
He heard footsteps and saw Mizuki.
He suddenly got confused as Mizuki...smiled?
"Hello Naruto."
Naruto was on guard Mizuki wasn't this nice.
"Hi"
"I'm sorry about the test, I think you should of passed."
Naruto raised his eyebrow, Mizuki went on,
"You know there's another way you can pass"
Naruto soon looked, completely focused.
Mizuki inwardly chuckled,' All according to plan'
Stealing the forbidden scroll?
Complete bullshit test.
But theres always a chance that it was true.
He was currently in the Hokages private library, the hidden scroll was right in front of him.
He took a step forward only to stop quickly.
He sniffed the air, he smelt metal, it was ninja wire. He held up his hand and closed his eyes, he felt a bunch of metal tripwire traps was in front of him.
He smirked as he easily maneuvered around them. In the night it would be impossible for a normal person, even ninja to see them.
But he was far from normal.
He slowly walked down the halls of the Hokage tower, his office building.
He stopped as a door opened, the Hokage walked out .
"Naruto what are you doing?"
Naruto sighed, he knew a way out of this, but he would have to use his secret technique. He just finished developing it, it hadn't even been field tested yet.
He closed his eyes and prepared the technique.
"Oroike no Jutsu(Sexy Technique)!"
he turned into a bombshell naked blonde with smoke covering her private spots.
he or she spoke," Come here Hiru, I like strong men!"
The Hokage felt blood go to his face, before being released through his nose. So much that he passed out.
Naruto smirked," Old pervert got what he deserved."
Naruto looked at the scroll, Mizuki said meet him at training ground 43...or was it 33? Crap, the smile Mizuki had was so strained his words where garbled up.
he shrugged, Mizuki would probably find him sooner of later.
Later was better.
he had more pressing issues at the moment, the scroll wouldn't open.
He's tried everything short of destroying the scroll.
He threw his hands up in frustration, they hit the tree he was leaning on.
An acorn fell out and hit him in the head, completely scaring him.
Naruto jumped in his sitting position biting his tongue. He felt the metallic taste on his tongue and spat it out.
Right onto the scroll, he didn't even noticed what happened.
He did notice the scroll opening.
'The Kage Bunshin(Shadow clone)also has another function. Along with a solid body it also forms it's own memories, and when the clone dies the host then gains the memories. the potential in this is...'
Naruto yawned, the Second Hokage is actually kind of boring, like a textbook.
He noticed that sentence was circled and it was connected by a line to another sentence, this time in a darker, probably newer ink.
' The memory transfer is pretty good for training, but it hurts like a BITCH, I got a killer headache with those...'
That must of been the Fourth. Damn that guy is cool, his writing is actually entertaining.
Those shadow clones though...
Might as well give it a try.
' The Kokuangyo no Jutsu(Bringer of Darkness Technique) has a weakness, other senses are not affected by this. A clan who uses ninja dogs, the Inuzuka clan, can use there heightened sense of smell to bypass the lack of sight. I have an untested version here too, I do not have enough time to use it do to the war going on, in theory it should work if you hit 46 precise tenketsu( multiple points around the body that chakra passes through) points that the diagram below shows...'
Naruto really wanted to sleep when he reads the Seconds writing, he could imagine a monotone voice explaining this and that would be the Second.
That Jutsu though...
Meh, it seemed to difficult.
Suddenly a though popped into his head
'time to try some shadow clones!'
'Yeah, so my girlfriend tried this technique and she put WAY to much chakra into it. Her kunai blocked out the sun and she was kinda winded after that, so don't put to much chakra into the Kage Kunai(Shaow Kunai)or Kage Shuriken(Shadow Shuriken).
Naruto officially loved the Fourth Hokage, he made learning chakra theory fun.
Shame he died though.
An original Fourth Hokage move?
Hell yes.
When Iruka found the boy he saw a completely destroyed part of the forest he was in.
The boy was leaning against the tree, cradling his head, The scroll was next to him.
Naruto looked at him,"Hi Iruka I-"
He suddenly groaned
"- damn that headache is bad!"
Iruka walked up to him, " Naruto how could you steel the forbidden scroll? It's called forbidden for a reason!"
"Mizuki said so"
"What"
Suddenly Narutos eyes widened,
"Sensei! Watch out!"
Iruka moved out the way of a flurry of shuriken, though one nailed him right in the shoulder, disabling his right arm.
He turned around to see Mizuki.
"Mizuki what are you doing!"
Mizuki chuckled," I'm going to kill you and steal the scroll, then blame in on that damn demon!"
Naruto gained a fire in his eyes, "Who are you calling a demon, you jerk!"
Mizuki laughed again,"So you don't know huh, I'll tell you why nobody likes you!"
That got Narutos full attention.
Iruka yelled,"Mizuki stop! Remember the law!"
"I don't care Iruka I'm a traitor remember!"
He stared at Naruto, hate in his eyes," Twelve years ago on you birthday, October 10, The Kyuubi attacked. They say the Fourth killed it, but he couldn't. He sealed it away..."
Naruto started to comprehend what he was saying.
"He sealed it into you! You are the Kyuubi! You killed Irukas parents and hundreds more!"
Naruto couldn't believe it, he had the seal o his stomach, but...
It can't be...
'It is'
Naruto jumped, looking around.
Then suddenly he realized who the voice was.
'Mystery eyes?'
He heard growling in his head
' I am the Kyuubi, the strongest being in existence! Don't you dare call me that!'
Naruto gulped and remained 'silent', the voice went away.
Iruka looked at Naruto, who was deathly still," Naruto it's true, but your not the demon your-"
He was cut of by a kunai in the chest.
Iruka yelped as he fell, the flak jacket stopped him from being stabbed, but the full impact broke his ribs. his headband flew off.
Mizuki yelled," Take that Iruka, and now for you demon, time to kill you"
Naruto stood up, he was looking down.
He slowly walked forward towards the unconscious Iruka.
And picked up the forehead protector of the ground.
He started to tie it on his head, eyes closed.
" I'm no demon, My name is Uzumaki Naruto... and I'm a shinobi of the leaf!"
Those words started to soothe the deep despair inside of him.
Mizuki started to move towards him.
Naruto held his hand as a fist and beated his chest.
His hand turned grey as he took a deep breath.
His blue eyes snapped open, a cold fury in them.
"Koton: Tetsuken(Steel Release: Iron Fist)"
Naruto faced his opened hand towards Mizuki, a beam of metal shot out. It wasn't really a fist, but it did similar effects when hit by it.
Mizukis eyes widened by the unknown technique, in his shock he didn't dodge the attack as it went straight into his stomach.
He flew back being thrown into the ground. Mizuki used his momentum to flip back on his feet.
He growled, ignoring the pain, he had no idea what that was. He decided to be a bit more cautious.
He quickly took out his Fuma Shuriken(Demon Wind Shruriken) and threw it at him.
Naruto took another deep breath, jumping in front of Iruka. He whispered," Shirudo(Shield)"
The metal shout out of his hand towards the ground, it formed a semicircle around him before shooting upwards forming an entire shield.
Mizuki watched as his shuriken hit the shield.
But he was even more shocked as he watched the shield absorb his shuriken.
Mizuki took a step back, what was this boy?
As if Naruto heard him he spoke,"I'm the future Hokage..."
Naruto crossed his fingers in a 't' like shape.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Mizuki couldn't believe his eyes as hundreds of blondes shot towards him, fists covered in metal.
Naruto was on top of the Hokage monument, the head of the fourth.
The sun was slowly rising over the horizon.
He just had a long talk with the Hokage, the old man was upset, but very glad Naruto was alright.
Naruto told the man he was ok about the Kyuubi.
He knew who he was.
The Hokage instated him as a ninja for defeating a traitor.
But the headband felt pretty heavy on his head.
He looked behind him, Kakashi was there.
Kakashi spoke lazily," So Naruto, I went to your apartment to give you your graduation present and you weren't there. I waited for such a long time."
"You know what happened... "
"Yeah, but you haven't received your gift. And I know it'll brighten your mood."
Naruto turned and walked towards the man.
Kakashi held out stick like bundle.
Naruto held it and felt a buzzing in his hand.
"No way... Kakashi what is this?"
Kakashi eye smiled
Naruto started unwrapping the package with vigor.
Inside was a sheathed tanto, a small sword, around the size of 2 feet, maybe a bit more.
But this was different, he could feel the power as he unsheathed the blade.
" This blade was once called white light, but I renamed it after my father who wielded it, it's now called the Shiro Kiba(White Fang).
Naruto couldn't believe his eyes, the legendary blade of Hatake Sakumo.
He felt it slowly,
"oh my god, 60% PALLADIUM!-"
Naruto started bouncing on his feet happily.
"-Its coated in IRIDIUM! Oh man 35% rhenium, 5% URANIUM CORE!"
Kakashi chuckled, Naruto was practically foaming at the mouth talking about this blade. Though all the metal, which he has no idea what they are, must be the reason the blade is so damn heavy.
Naruto looked at him with big blue eyes,"Is this mine?"
"Yes"
Naruto almost tackled the man off the Hokage monument. He was crying tears of joy.
"Thank you so much Kakashi!"
Kakashi smiled under his mask.
Sarutobi Konohamaru, grandson of the Hokage, was a lot like him in a way.
Big ambitions, and the will to achieve it.
Naruto believes that the boy, who he affectionately calls 'Kono' could really become Hokage.
If he wasn't there.
He decided to teach the boy his Oiroke. Just to mess with the old man.
He can't help but smile when the boy calls him 'boss'.
He had a student now...
The smile grew larger.
He spent the week training Kono, and being trained by Kakashi in the White Fang.
He barely saw Tenzo though.
As he walked into the academy he noticed a pair of eyes on him.
Nara Shikamaru, with black hair in a ponytail, dark eyes and a lazy expression on his face. His best friend Akimichi Choji was next to him, he had dark blonde hair , a chubby body and face, strange spirals on his cheeks, and... underpants on his head? It had his forehead protector built into it.
Shikamaru spoke, "Naruto you failed, only ninja are suppose to be here."
Naruto felt angry, he though Shikamaru was alright, he tapped his forehead protector and walked away.
He noticed Sasuke was in his row, a seat between him and Yakumo, he shrugged and sat down there.
Him and Sasuke locked eyes and nodded in respect to each other. Well at least Sasuke wasn't a TOTAL douche.
Soon Sakura and Ino busted in, it looked like the raced against each other, they both arrived at the same time.
"I win FOREHEAD!"
"NO I DID PIGGY!"
Naruto was amused by the nicknames. Ino meant boar, and Sakura had a massive forehead.
Sasuke exhaled and suddenly there eyes snapped towards them.
Naruto was shocked, 'did they hear that? i could barely hear it myself!'
Soon they ran towards them, on the way up the stairs Sakura pushed Ino and she fell.
Sakura soon ran towards him," OI IDIOT GET OUT OF MY SPOT!"
Narutos frustration was going, first Shikamaru and now Sakura?
His Bullshit meter was about to be filled.
He spoke calmly," I've been sitting here all year, this is my spot."
The pink haired girl growled," I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU STUPID IDIOT!"
Bullshit meter is now filled.
"WELL I DON'T CARE EITHER YOU UGLY BITCH!"
Silence, Sakura looked awestruck.
Naruto kept going," Yeah leave, I don't think a single person in the room likes you!"
Sakura slowly looked around, nobody was arguing. She went to another seat and sat down.
Naruto huffed angrily and ignored the piercing glare Ino gave him.
Iruka walked in," Wow, a quiet class, I'll name the teams you'll be assigned under."
"Team One is..."
Naruto listened closely, hoping that he didn't have Sakura on his team.
"Oh, well there is no team three at the moment, my sheet says the list of people on that team will be delivered shortly."
Hm, interesting.
"Team seven will be: Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Sai. Under Hatake Kakashi"
The bad mood Sakura was in dissipated in an instant, she cheered as all the other fangirls booed.
Naruto wondered who Sai was...and he was disappointed he didn't have Kakashi.
Team eight will be: Aburame Shino, Hyuga Hinata, and Inuzuka Kiba under Yuhi Kurenai."
Naruto looked at the group, Kiba was a fairly good looking brown haired boy with dark eyes, and upside down red triangles on hischeeks, he had a parka on ( Naruto wonders how, it's boiling outside) and his Ninken(Ninja Hound) Akamaru with him.
Shino from the Aburame clan, they had bugs hidden inside there body. He had a high collared jacket the covered half his face, and sunglasses on.
"-under Darega Kini, Team ten will be Akimichi Chouji, Nara Shikamaru, and Yamanaka Ino under Sarutobi Asuma"
Hm, the old mans son.
Soon another chunin walked in and handed Iruka a note. Iruka thanked the man and turned back to the class.
"Well, we have team three right here..."
Naruto prepared himself, this must be his team.
"Team three is Uzumaki Naruto, Kurama Yakumo, and Shin with Yamato as there sensei. Thank you and I hope you all become successful shinobi."
Most unexpected teammate ever. I think I might be the first to use Shin as a teammate.
