Chapter seven
Danzo true to his word, helped reform the hidden leaf village at Sarutobi's side. The civilian council was ejected , no longer involved with the village. The Academy was totally reformed.
A kunoichi named Kurenai Yuuhi taught genjutsu.
Might Gai taught Taijutsu.
Ninjutsu was taught by Yamato Tenzo and Iruka Umino
Weapons and seduction taught by a kunoichi named Anko Miterashi.
Torture and interrogation taught by Morino Ibiki.
Tactics were taught by Shikaku Nara.
Tracking by Tsume Inuzuka.
All of them volunteered to teach the hopefuls what it truly meant to be a Shinobi .Those who didn't have the guts, Couldnt hack it Or no longer wanted to be a ninja,were evicted.
The Shinobi forces as a whole was reformed. All Shinobi were taught like ANBU. The forces had grown soft and lazy. Training was like it was back in the war. Perfection was required and aimed for. The best was demanded. First kills were required to be chunnin.
Fan girls were taught quick to let go of there shameful ways. The hard way. Boys who were arrogant got trampled by NE operatives. All Gennin trained in all skills, they also chose which field they got to specialize in when their level of skill was approved by Danzo and the Hokage.
They were apprenticed to the appropriate jounin when they chose their fields. All twelve year olds were tested for there elemental affinity as well. There bodies were trained to perfection. All were sculpted but lean muscle. The only ones that had a "über buff" body were Choji Akimichi and Kiba Inuzuka because of their family's demanding Tai jutsu requirements.
From what Danzo could see from standing in front of the hopeful graduates, the reform had done incredibly well.

And from what he had heard from Sarutobi there was also another hopeful graduate that had been home raised. But if they didn't pass inspection, there was no point of even coming to "graduation".
Clearing his throat in the academy classroom,silence immediately followed.
"The testing for the rank of Gennin will now commence. Anyone who does not believe they are ready, you are free to leave."
Since no one left, he took that as a good sign.
" Very we'll the test shall have seven accuracy,tactics,ninjutsu, Taijutsu, genjutsu,Kenjutsu & interrogation.. The first to be tested is.."
Naruto pov
He was bored. Training is fun and all but he wanted to go play. It was all too serious sometimes. Yea,he was strong but(sigh) he just wanted a friend not a comrade in arms. Even after the change in curriculum, no one wanted to be his friend. He had buddies, like hinata and lee but no one to give his secrets to, no one who truly understood him.
And now he had to listen to the old mans speech.(sigh) he soon realized that no one was talking. Looking around he spotted the reason why.
As danzo was about to continue the classroom door opened to reveal the Third Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, I thought you were testing the new recruit?" Danzo questioned.
" hmm.. Oh I did she passed with flying colors, I believe she's ready for graduation." Turning to the side he beckoned the mystery person in. When she walked in the already silent class turned eerily quiet.
Naruto was paying very close attention. The girl... To put it plainly was had long pure platinum silver/blonde hair in a long braid and what looked to be a big chunk of jade at the end. Dark blue eyes like that of a night sky, and two black jagged stripes one on each cheek, (like inuyasha)She looked to be 5'4" and was wearing a long sleeved black cheongsam with a blood red cherry blossoms embroidered into the fabric. She wore long black pants underneath, which she she had grappled the bottomed with blood red tape. She also wore black slippers that were flexible enough for her to have full mobility with her feet.
Danzos voice startled him back to reality.
"Name"
" Izayoi."
"Izayoi what?"
" I don't have a last name."
" hmm... Very well . There's not really a lot of room but you can sit next to...Uzumaki!"
immediately two hollers of "YES SIR" had Danzo rubbing his temples.
" The boy Uzumaki..."
Walking forward Naruto Uzumaki showed his presence. "Yes sir?"
"She shall be sitting next to you today. You shall give her a tour after graduation , and show her the ropes. Understood?"
"Yes sir"
Turning back sound with Izayoi following him they went to sit.
" anymore interruptions?... No good Aburame Shino your up."
As soon as Naruto sat down he turned to Izayoi," Hey I'm Naruto."
Giggling, she introduced herself as well." Hi I'm Izayoi nice to meet you."
She shook his offered hand and was about to read a book from her back pack but was interuppted.
" are you new in konoha?"
"Yea, I was taught everything from home, my guardian didn't want any outside influences to get in the way of training. "Izayoi said shrugging her shoulders.
" your weird...but hey I'm weird too. " ' holy crap did I really just say that.' Mentally smacking his face as he saw Izayoi looking at him questioningly.
" I'm no saying your weird... I mean that your guardian is.. No I didn't mean that , what I meant was ummmm..." Izayoi giggled once more making Naruto's morale go straight down the shitter." I'm gonna stop talking now"he said slumping In his chair, laying his his chin on the desk.
" no don't that was really cute." She said making naruto blush , " I know I'm weird and I know that's not what you meant to say so its okay."
Rubbing the back of his head while giving her a cheeky smile." Hey I don't have any training today, do you uh maybe wanna go get something to eat after I give you a tour?"
He saw her smile a small smile and nod making him smile as well.
" What's your favorite subject?"
Izayoi tapped her chin in thought," Well the subject I'm best at is..well everything. My favorite would be Sealing, ninjutsu, Tessens and medical jutsu."
"Tessen?"
" Battle made of hardened steel and specialized chakra metal, that can let me siphone my chakra nature inside them ."
" you know your chakra nature too?! Awesome I'm wind and 's yours?"
" earth and water and a minor in lightning ."
" you have three? But I thought only chunin and jounins could have three?"
"Yea, my guardian said I was a unique case..."
Sensing a subject better left unturned, they went about waiting for there turn.
-
One by one they went to test themselves in hoping of getting on a team.
And one by one they came out with a head band with the village leaf simble upon there brows. And the entire time Naruto was staring at the new girl. Soon naruto was called up and then Izayoi was the last. They had all passed with flying colors.
"Come back tomarrow for your team assignments. Dismissed."
