Naruto – Rewrite
Chapter 9
It was Naruto's third and the last year at the academy. A couple Chunin chases Naruto.
"You can't catch me!" Naruto yelled while jumping from roof to roof.
Inside the Hokage Tower, the Third Hokage is painting but stops as hears approaching footsteps.
"Lord Hokage!" Two voices yelled behind him.
The Third Hokage looked annoyed at the disruption while he was painting.
"What now? And don't tell me it's Naruto." The Third Hokage said.
Both of the men who entered the room looked nervous.
"But it is Naruto." One of man said.
The Hokage rolled his eyes.
"What did he do this time?" The Third Hokage asked.
"He defaced the statue of the Legendary Three Ninja." Another man said.
"Losers! Figures you'd fall for that." Naruto said.
"Oh Yeah, Naruto!" a Voice yelled behind him.
Naruto is so startled he falls down. He turns around and saw Kurenai.
"Auntie Kurenai, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked as he is rubbing his butt.
"No! What are you doing here, you should be in class." Kurenai said.
Back in the classroom, most of the kids are snickering as Naruto is brought in all tied up. Kurenai walk off.
"Alright Naruto, since you decided to skip the lesson we will review the Transformation Jutsu." Iruka said.
Collective 'oh…' rang out from the other students.
"Sakura here. Transform." Sakura said before transforms into Iruka.
As Iruka checks her off his list. Sasuke Uchiha is next as Sakura attempts to get his attention with her ability to transform. He ignores her and transforms himself into Iruka.
"Don't screw this up Naruto." Shikamaru said.
"We always pay for your screw ups." Ino said.
"Like I care." Naruto said.
Down the line of children Hinata was watching Naruto.
'Naruto, do you best.' Hinata though as she was pushing her fingertips together.
"Transform." Naruto said before he transforms into Anko.
"Tomorrow will be your finals. So practice hard." Iruka happily said as the students left for the day.
Naruto was washing the paint off the statue of the Legendary Three Ninja with Kurenai watching him.
"You are not going home until you wash the paint off." Kurenai said.
Naruto kelp on washing.
"Hey Naruto, after that, I take you with your mommy to the ramen stand." Kurenai said.
"Alright! I have these statues clean in no time!" Naruto yelled.
A few moments later, Naruto, Anko and Kurenai are at the ramen stand. Naruto was eating miso ramen.
"Naruto, why would you do that to the Legendary Three Ninja statues? I mean you know what they are don't you?" Kurenai asked.
"Yeah, everyone knows. The Sannin are widely regarded for their great skill and power, each on the level of a Kage in their own right. Their name is known in countries all across the world." Naruto said.
"Then, why did you?" Kurenai asked.
"Becarse I going to be a new Sannin. Naruto Mitrashi: The new Snake Sannin! Then everyone will have to stop disrespecting me. I kind of want to ask you auntie Kurenai." Naruto said.
"You want another bowl?" Kurenai asked.
"No. I want to try on your headband, please?" Naruto asked.
"Oh this?" Kurenai asked as she points her headband.
"No way. You can only wear the leave headband when you graduation at the academy and become a ninja." Kurenai said.
"You are so mean." Naruto said as he pouted.
Anko look at Naruto for the moment.
"Squirt, I have a mission tomorrow, so I can't see you until tonight." Anko said.
Naruto was sad but he knows that Anko is a Ninja and a Jonin. They pay for the ramen and went home.
The following day the class is assembled for the day.
"Ok today the final will be on the clone Jutsu." Iruka said.
A universal round of "ah…." came from the class.
'Oh no, that my worst Jutsu. Great, I never go to pass.' Naruto though.
Naruto is called into the next room to take his test. He begins to build up chakra, and attempts to create a clone.
"Clone Jutsu." Naruto said.
A pathetic almost comical version of Naruto was laying face down next to him.
"You fail!" yelled Iruka.
Naruto looked very sad and downtrodden.
"Come now, Iruka. He did manage to make at least one. Can't you let him pass with that?" Mizuki asked.
I understand Mizuki sensei, but I we cannot pass him. All the other students made at least three replications. He was only able to make one. And look at it. It's pathetic. I am sorry but we cannot pass him." Iruka said.
Naruto wasted no time. He didn't want to hear the jeers coming from all the class. He didn't want to hear Iruka telling them to be back at the class at ten tomorrow to meet their Jonin instructors. He didn't even want to wait for Hinata. Naruto ran straight out of the school, straight to the swing in the back of the academy schoolyard. He watched as all the parents celebrated with their children about passing. Anko was on a mission today so she wouldn't be back until late tonight. Naruto sighed as he was about to head home, when he saw Mizuki in front of him.
"Naruto… What if I knew of a way, that you could pass the Genin exam for sure next time? Not only that, but it has techniques that would make anyone respect you." Mizuki said.
"What is it?" Naruto asked.
Mizuki smiled. He bent down and whispered. Naruto started grinning he couldn't believe that something like that was in the village. He nodded, and agreed to meet Mizuki in the woods near the tower at 10:00 P.M. Mizuki walked away from the excited Naruto, face beaming with pride. Night fell in the village. Anko had finally returned from her mission and entered the tower, only to find it quiet.
"Squirt! Hmm… guess he not here." Anko said.
A smile crept around her lips. She took off out the door to go find him. After all today was the day he graduated from the academy, and she wanted to hear all about it. She landed right in front of the Hokage tower, just in time to see several ninja run out. She made her way to the old man's room, to see what was going on.
"Lord Hokage. What's with all the ANBU?" Anko asked.
The third simply raised his eyes at her.
"It's Naruto…" The Third Hokage said.
In the woods in a training ground near a shack Naruto has a scroll and is opening it.
"Now let's see… Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu. Ah, man. I would have to be a Clone Jutsu, my worst Jutsu…" Naruto said.
A few moments later, Naruto leaned up against one of the trees in the clearing, breathing deeply as he tried to regain his breath and stamina. He'd been training for hours, and now he was completely exhausted from the exertion he had put on himself. Suddenly, though, Naruto heard something beside him. Thinking it was Mizuki, Naruto stood up, and was prepared to tell Mizuki he had done it, to see… (Iruka………. Just kidding.)
Anko standing in front of Naruto.
"You in big trouble squirt." Anko said really mad.
Naruto froze for a second, before scratching the back of his head and laughing sheepishly.
"Hi mommy. Back from your mission?" Naruto asked.
'He's been practicing.' Anko though.
"Mommy, I'm going to show a Jutsu from the scroll and pass. If someone learns a Jutsu from this scroll they automatically pass, right?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean?" Anko asked.
"Mizuki sensei told me about this. He told me where to find this scroll and this place." Naruto said.
Anko feels strong killing intent and suddenly pushes Naruto to the side.
"Look out!" Anko yelled.
Anko is hit by a dozen kunai. Naruto looks on as his mother is now bleeding from several wounds, the smell of blood and killing intent is thick in the air.
"I should have known, Mizuki." Anko said in angry.
"Naruto, give me the scroll." Mizuki said.
"Don't do it Naruto, Mizuki's only going to take the scroll and betray the village." Anko said.
"Come now, don't you want to pass?" Mizuki asked.
"Naruto, he's lying to you, don't believe him!" Anko yelled.
Mizuki laughed.
"I'll tell you about lying." Mizuki said.
"No!" Anko yelled.
"They have been lying to you all your life Naruto." Mizuki said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Don't tell him! It's forbidden!" Anko yelled.
"Twelve years ago the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed inside you Naruto! You are the Nine-Tailed Fox! You are the demon! Now die!!" Mizuki yelled as he pulls a large shuriken off his back and throws it at Naruto.
Anko reacted the only way she could. A scream echoed out into the area. Naruto looked up to see Anko over top of him, a large shuriken sticking out of her back.
"You alright, squirt?" Anko managed to ask.
Before she could even get an answer, Mizuki kicked her to the ground.
"Maybe, I'll finish you first…" Mizuki said.
Naruto's eyes widened as he watched Mizuki pick Anko up by her hair, and hold a kunai to her throat. He felt anger. Naruto rose to his feet, growling.
"Get away from my mommy!" Naruto yelled.
Mizuki's eyes widened. Naruto's eyes were now red with black slits. Mizuki smiled.
"What are you going to do, demon?" Mizuki asked.
Naruto said nothing. He performed several hand signs, the red chakra is started to wave around his body and the Cursed Seal is glowing, and suddenly, 100 Naruto appeared behind him. All 100 ran forward, and before Mizuki could even scream, he began to literally be ripped apart. Anko quickly rose to her feet and grabbed the real Naruto, before he could go any further. Iruka and some ANBU arrived at the scene. Mizuki lay clinging to life. Anko, though wounded, held the angered Naruto, stroking his hair while hugging him, slowly calming him down.
"What happen?" Iruka asked.
"Mizuki tricked him. Mizuki is the traitor, caught by Naruto, who saved my life as well, using the Shadow Clone Jutsu." Anko said.
Iruka nodded and he bent down to Naruto's eye level.
"I apologize for everything. You arose with the true essence of a ninja, ready to put your life on the line to protect those who mean the most to you." Iruka said.
"Iruka sensei?" Naruto asked.
"I want you to have this." Iruka said as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a small headband.
"The headband?" Naruto asked.
"Yes Naruto. You showed that you are ready to be a ninja after all. I apologize for everything Naruto. Be at the school tomorrow at 9:00 A.M., to officially begin your career as a Genin." Iruka said.
Naruto tied his headband around his head, and despite his cool act he was trying to put on, he began to dance happily.
"I'm a ninja!" Naruto yelled to his mother.
Anko smiled at the boy's happiness, but at the same time, a thought ran through her mind.
'Does he not even remember what happened?' Anko thought.
Anko and Naruto returned home for the evening, but not before running into Lee, Hinata, and Tenten to enjoy some ramen as a celebration. Meanwhile, the three Jonin chosen to lead the new graduates arrived at the Hokage Tower.
"Glad that you all made it on time. Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma, please be seated." The Third Hokage said.
All three sat in the chairs in the office.
"I trust you have all three gone over the information in the folders on the eight graduates?" The Third Hokage asked.
"Yes, lord Hokage. However, it will be difficult to lead a team of only two Genin." Kurenai said with a sad look about Naruto did not pass.
Suddenly, Iruka ran into the room. The sudden arrival of him surprised the others, but he apologized and walked to the Third Hokage.
"Iruka, what are you doing here?" the Third Hokage asked.
"I apologize for coming during this meeting, but I have to deliver this to Kakashi and the others." Iruka said.
He handed them all a piece of paper, as well as one to the Third Hokage.
"This Naruto Mitarashi… I was informed that he did not pass the Genin exam." Asuma said.
"Naruto passed. He took his test late, during the Mizuki and forbidden scroll incident. Not only was able to save the scroll and Anko, but he mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu." Iruka said.
"That is a Jonin level technique…" Kakashi said.
"Indeed, but I witnessed the whole event." The Third Hokage said, pointing to his crystal ball.
Kurenai was happy that Naruto pass.
"I approve of Naruto's graduation. If any have any reason as to why he should not graduate, then feel free to talk to me after this meeting. Iruka, you may leave." The Third Hokage said.
Iruka bowed and left the room.
"Now then, let us begin. Kakashi, since you have held the Jonin level the longest, you may make the first pick of who you want on your team." The Third Hokage said
"I'll have Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Kiba Inuzuka." Kakashi said.
"Very well. Asuma." The Third Hokage said.
I'll have Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka." Asuma said.
"Which leaves Kurenai to take Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame and Naruto Mitarashi. Now, I will go over some minor things, just in case anyone has forgotten. In order for the Genin to be officially taught by you, a test must be passed showing that the team you have chosen is capable of working together. If one of them should fail, the whole team must be returned to the academy, until a new Genin is capable of taking the member's place. After you finish your test, and if they should pass, return the day after the test to begin running your D-rank missions. Now, you are all dismissed, however, Kurenai, please remain here for a moment." The Third Hokage said.
Kakashi and Asuma bowed and left the room.
"What is it, lord Hokage?" Kurenai asked.
"I'm sure you know, Naruto is the container for Nine-Tailed Fox." the Third Hokage said.
Kurenai nodded.
"Now, as you know, this information must remain a secret. It could be a disaster should his team find out at the start, while I doubt Hinata would care, we can't predict how Shino, much less the rest of the Genin would react." The Third Hokage said.
"I understand, lord Hokage. It shall remain a secret." Kurenai said.
"Good, now go." The Third Hokage said.
Kurenai bowed and left the room.
