Over the next two years Kakashi increased the twins training. He didn't want anything to happen to his gakis. He wanted to be insured that if they managed to get into trouble they would at least be able to defend themselves.

The Gama sennin even visited them himself. When Sarutobi sent the request for him to come back to the village ASAP, he arrived two days later ready to inspect the seal on his god children. After finding nothing wrong with the seals, which were actually strengthened, he decided to spend some time with his students boys.

He taught them several things such as their fathers powerful jutsu, the Rasengan. It took Naruto and Natsu only a month to learn and they finally mastered it. While learning the technique their chakra control and manipulation skyrocketed as well. Because of their now improved chakra control, they were given permission to sign the Toad summoning contract.

After Jiraiya explained how to perform the summoning, he had them sign the contract. The next ten minutes was filled with nothing but disappointment for the blondie and redhead. They just couldn't summon anything worth while. All they got was stupid tadpoles. The biggest Toads they got was their toad familiars.

Naruto summoned Gamakichi, a young orange toad with purple markings around his eyes, mouth and stomach. Natsu summoned Gamatatsu, who is predominantly yellow in colour with orange markings around his eyes and mouth. He also has two markings curving inwards on his stomach. They were both small in size, small enough to ride on their summoners head.

They didn't make any more progress than that though. They just didn't use enough chakra even though they had enough. Jiraiya decided to stop their lessons on summoning. He had a idea how to make them summon larger toads, but he would rather not have a very pissed of Kakashi and Anko hunting him down.

The leaf village has also changed a lot in the last two years. The Hyuuga clan now had a new clan head, Hitomi Hyuuga. She is the mother of Hinata and Hanabi. In her time as clan head, she has made major reforms in her clan. The caged bird seal was no longer used on any infants, but they couldn't remove it from those who already had one placed on them. They just didn't have a seal master who had the ability. Jiraiya had a method but it would be too risky to remove a seal created to kill a person when activated. The least of their problem would be going permanently blind.

Konoha also suffered a huge military lose because of the death of the Uchiha clan. Many other villages such as Kumo and Iwa have been testing Konoha's strength. They wanted to see just how badly Konoha's military was weakened. So Hiruzen continued to send his shinobi out on missions to keep up Konoha's image of power. The other villages knew that even without the Uchiha, Konoha was still a strong village due to all the other powerful clans. So Konoha avoided war, for now.

But today was going to be a historic day in Konoha. Several of the clans heirs were going to be enrolled in the shinobi system.

-XxxxxX-

Today was the big day. Every prominent clan heir in Konoha was going to take the graduation exams finally be shinobi. Many people awaited this day but none more than the clan heirs themselves.

However two people were more excited than all the others. They would finally be shinobi and make friends. But first they had to pass the exams.

As Naruto and Natsu walked through the busy streets Konoha with their Tou-san and Kaa-san, they couldn't help but notice the mixed looks they were getting from the villagers. Some looked at them with happy expressions and sorrowful glances. Others still looked with at them with contempt and malice. However any action against them thwarted by glares from Kakashi and spikes of killing intent from Anko.

When the Namikaze family arrived at the Academy, they received many side glances but no one paid them any attention.

"Okay boys good luck and remember what I told you" Kakashi said loudly to attract attention. It worked because everyone turned their attention to the four newcomers.

Catching on, the twins spoke just as loudly simultaneously.

"Don't kill or cause any permanent damage"

With that Kakashi and Anko left the children at the school, sure they would do fine. Everyone except three eyed the two Namikaze wearly after that quick conversation.

One was Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto's and Natsu's only friend their age. Sasuke is a fair-skinned ninja who has onyx-black eyes and black, chin-length hair. Sasuke's clothing consisted of the traditional Uchiha clothing: a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar and the Uchiha crest on the back and white arm warmers. He was smirking at the two boys, af if challenging them.

The other was the Hyuuga heiress, Hinata. Hinata has dark blue hair and fair skin - traits that she inherited from her mother. She also has the customary white eyes of her clan, which have a tinge of lavender. Her hair was in a short, levelled hime-cut style just above her forehead, with chin-length strands framing her face. She wore a cream-coloured hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem, with navy blue pants. She only stared at the twins, specifically Naruto. She found them...interesting.

And last but not least was one of the coldest kunoichi ever. Her name was Mikasa Ackerman. Many of the wanna be shinobi thought she was beautiful, and deadly. She was the top kunoichi in battle prowess and knowledge.

Mikasa is physically fit and has chin-length black hair. Her body is extremely well-toned, with little, if any, in the way of body fat and muscles lined throughout her arms, legs, and abs. She wore black skin tight pants with a matching shirt. She also wore a navy blue jacket over her shirt. On her feet her black boots that stopped just below her knees. Finally she had two swords strapped around her waist.

From her body language Natsu could tell she was bored and didn't think they could even make her break a sweat if it came to blows. She only glanced at them before she walked into the academy. The other students followed her into the structure so they could begin the hopefully final day there.

Once inside, Naruto and Natsu were baffled at the sheer size and organization of the building. The students and teachers moved with practiced ease into the classrooms ready to start their hopefully last day together. Once they found their classroom, road call was taken. Naruto blocked out most of the unimportant people named, only taking note of the clan born students.

Once Naruto's name came up, the instructor Iruka Umino eyes widened. He had the Namikazes in his class. The same Namikaze's who protect Konoha, no the very world just by breathing on a regular basis. He couldn't believe he was given such an honor.

"Namikaze Naruto-sama, Namikaze Natsu-sama" Iruka called out respectfully. The only other person in his class he would address as "sama" was Hinata Hyuuga for being the princess of the Hyuuga clan.

When he said those names, the entire classroom went silent and everyone's eyes widened.

"N-Namikaze!" a random student shouted out surprised. This caused many of the students to show their own reactions to having the late Yondaime's children as classmates, even if it was only for one day. They were even more excited at the thought of having one, or both, as teammates.

Hinata now looked at Naruto and Natsu with questioning eyes. If they were the Yondaime's children, they why weren't they ever seen? She would remember seeing someone as prestigious (and handsome) as these two. So, why?

Mikasa only glared at the two now. It would take more than a name to impress her.

When the class calmed down again, Iruka started his speech about the test that I'm not going to write. He then had Mizuki hand out the test papers.

Naruto glanced at the test boredly, while Natsu was inwardly groaning. He hated tests! If his Tou-san gave him a test and he failed, he let his Kaa-san punish him. The horrors a person can do with citrus fruits and kitchen appliances.

Nearly ten minutes later, Natsu finally read one of the test problems and was shocked. These were easy! The tests he got at home were way harder than this. Natsu grinned and completed the test quickly. When he looked up, only a few people were finished as well. Naruto, Sasuke, a girl with a large forehead, and Mikasa were done already.

After the tests were completed, the students went outside to finish the other exams. They had target practice with kunai and shuriken, and a obstacle course. The top scores for each were held by Naruto, Natsu, Sasuke and Mikasa on the target pratice which each received perfect scores. The highest score on the obstacle course was Natsu followed by Mikasa. Natsu was surprised at her speed. She moved faster than his aniki, although he wasn't going full speed that was still impressive.

One if the last two tests was the most anticipated. The taijutsu spars. This test was taken in one on one fights in which the winner automatically gets the higher grade. The matchups were chosen at random by Mizuki. They went as followed

Ino Yamanaka vs Hinata Hyuuga

Naruto Namikaze vs Choji Akimichi

Sai vs Kiba Inuzuka

Sasuke Uchiha vs Shikamaru Nara

Sakura Haruno vs Shino Aburame

Natsu Namikaze vs Mikasa Ackerman

Everyone sized up their opponents, awaiting their fights. Only two people looked worried at the match ups, and they were Ino and Choji. They would be fighting the Hyuuga heiress and the son of the Yondaime, that kind of luck sucked.

The first match begun when Ino finally gained the courage to actually fight Hinata. When the fight commenced, Hinata was already,in motion. She launched herself at Ino with full intentions of ending the fight quickly. She sent a palm strike to Ino's abdomen for a swift victory, but was surprised when her hit was evaded. Hinata was so shocked that she didn't expect the punch aimed at her head. But at the last second she side stepped the blow and closed the tenkasu in Ino's out stretched arm before creating distance.

Ino lost feeling in one of her arm but chose to continue anyway. She took her fighting stance and waited for Hinata to come at her again. The Hyuuga heiress came at Ino again and overwhelmed Ino with quick Juuken strikes that closed most if her tenkasu. However Ino didn't just take the beating. Ino was also attacking Hinata's pressure points trying to slow her down. When Hinata realized what was happening, her hands moved in what was a blur to most students. The end result was and exhausted Ino barely able to move.

The class was at awe at the skill shown by Hinata. They congratulated her on her victory over Ino with loud applause. However their applause was ignored by the Hyuuga.

The twins exchanged looks, surprised at the speed and skill Hinata possessed. They knew she held back a great deal, but that fact only made her more incredible.

Naruto was next up in the match selections. His opponent Choji Akimichi slowly moved towards the ring for their spar. Naruto impatient as ever attacked as soon as the match began. He charged at Choji with a forward punch that was blocked. The force behind the punch sent Choji skidding backward and dazed. Naruto again charged at Choji, but this time he put up a better defense and blocked the spinning roundhouse kick from Naruto with his forearm, but couldn't avoid the knee to the gut. The blow sent Choji stumbling back, but he took no serious damage due to his body type.

Naruto was about to charge again, but the look Choji sent him halted his assault. He looked pissed. Choji ran forward Naruto with his fist clocked back, ready to do some damage. Naruto stood his ground and was ready to block the straight punch. But he wasn't expecting the force of the blow. He felt his bones almost brake! Gritting his teeth in frustration, he grabbed Choji's arm and pulled him closer. With the loss of balance, Choji was unable to defend against the onslaught of blows from his adversary. First an elbow to the stomach, then an uppercut to his chin that sent him in the air. That was followed by a hammer arm punch that made him crash back to the ground with a loud thud.

The match was called and all the students were shocked at this. Choji was physically the strongest person in the class. To be taken out so easily by someone not even half his size was outstanding.

As Naruto walked back to his spot near his Otouto, and was given a death glare by said person. Sighing in recognition, he apologised to Choji for his brutality in the match.

The next participants were walked over to the sparring ring. Kiba looked at Sai with a animalistic grin, while Sai stared at him impassively.

"Don't worry you freak, I'll end this fight quick" Kiba gloated. Sai stared at him a moment longer before giving a response.

"You can think that if you want you dickless mut" Sai said with his typical fake smile. Kiba, along with several girls, blushed furiously. Now enraged, Kiba charged at Sai with malicious intent.

He sent a wide claw strike followed by a straight punch which were both evaded by Sai. Sai tried hitting Kiba with a quick yet elegant head kick, but Kiba showed some impressive speed and caught the attack with his hand. Sai's eyes widened when Kiba threw him toward the outside of the ring. Kiba though he had won the fight and turned around to brag. If he didn't do that, he would have saw Sai regain his balance.

The entire crowd was looking behind Kiba which made him turn around. When he completed the 180 turn, he was kicked square in the nose by Sai. Kiba gripped his nose in pain, so he no defence from the quick throw that forced him out the ring. Kiba, dazed didn't even know what happened.

The crowd cheered for Sai, well actually the fan girls did. Turns out, Sai's fan club was almost as big as Sasuke's.

The next fight was between Sasuke and Shikamaru. Sasuke jogged down to the ring, waiting for his opponent. Seconds turned into minutes of his waiting until he got annoyed. He searched the crowd for the lazy Nara heir, only to find him under a tree being scolded by Iruka. Sasuke seethed in anger, and was about to go give that lazy bum a piece of his mind, by a shout from Iruka halted his movements.

"The winner is Sasuke Uchiha by forfeit. The next Match will be Sakura Haruno versus Shino Aburame" Iruka shouted. Nearly every student sweat dropped at Shikamaru's laziness but couldn't blame him. He was a ninjutsu and strategic type fighter. So fighting Sasuke would be troublesome.

Sakura Haruno walked up to the makeshift ring and awaited her opponent. When Shino walked to the stage, Sakura steeled her nerves and prepared to fight. Shino also took his ready stance then Iruka called for the match to begin.

Sakura charged at Shino ready to show her real strength. The straight forward attack was anticipated easily by Shino so he was ready to block it. What he didn't anticipate was the sheer force she put into the attack. She probably hit just as hard as Choji can! The single punch was jarring and sent Shino several feet backward. Sakura was ready to charge again, but Shino raised his hand to forfeit.

"Iruka-sensei I quit. There is no way I would be able to beat Sakura's raw power in a taijutsu fight" Shino whispered while walking away. Iruka only nodded his head in understanding, partly due to shock. Who would have thought pinky would have such power?

"The last fight was going to between Mikasa Ackerman and Natsu Namikaze. Begin" Iruka commanded the start of b the match, but neither participant made any,move to attack the other. They maintained their stances, but didn't move. The suspense had the entire class on edge. So when both students disappeared from view, everyone was shocked.

Then a sudden shout of "above" from Naruto made everyone look up in surprise. The blonde was descending from a powerful heel kick delivered by Mikasa, but he landed to his feet. Then Natsu and Mikasa charted at each other and traded blows in close range. They were even in the taijutsu fight. Mikasa and Natsu showed proficiency in their taijutsu with the complex attacks and defensive moves.

Mikasa tried hitting Natsu with a kick to the knee to force him of his base, but Natsu saw it coming and backflipped away from Mikasa. She gave chase to Natsu, but that was what we wanted. When Mikasa was in his range, he attacked with a vigorous spinning roundhouse kick aimed at Mikasa's head, but it was blocked. Not deterred, Mikasa elbowed Natsu in the stomach, followed by a backhand strike to Natsu's face before creating some distance.

Natsu was now sporting a busted lip from Mikasa's quick attack. But he only grinned at Mikasa and took his ready stance again. This time however, Natsu surprised even Naruto. He charged at Mikasa with speed that shouldn't belong to genin.

Mikasa was so surprised she didn't even defend against the knee to her face. But that did give her a wake up call. The next attack Mikasa managed to block, and the strangely beautiful dance of attacks and defenses started. The class was at awe when they saw the fast and powerful, but still graceful moves. So when they broke away again, they were disappointed.

Mikasa was now really, really pissed of. This guy was just toying with her! Only matching her movement speed and strength. Is this really her limit?

Natsu was about to charge Mikasa again, but she raised her hand in surrender. She didn't say a word as she left the stage. Natsu could only stare at her in confusion before narrowing his eyes and following her. He was intent on asking what the hell was her problem. Before he could get close enough to ask, Sasuke grabbed his arm, halting his progress. Natsu glanced at Sasuke and was about to question his motive, but Sasuke just shook his head. Sighing Natsu decided to let it go, for now.

The final test was the ninjutsu portion. Each student had to perform the basic three ninjutsu to pass.

Naruto thought this test was a complete joke. A test like this shouldn't decide if a person was ready or not to become a shinobi. If what his Tou-san told him about shinobi was true, then many of these "shinobi" wouldn't live long unless they got serious. Nevertheless all the students passed the exams.

While Naruto was disappointed and worried, Iruka was ecstatic with a right to be. All of his students passed the test and were now one step closer to becoming shinobi. He told the class his thoughts, then started to announce the teams.

"Squad 7 will be Sai, Sakura Haruno, And Sasuke Uchiha". After that declaration, every member of Sasuke's and Sai's fanclub glared at Sakura, who ignored them.

"Squad 8 will be Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga"

"Squad 9 is still together from last years students and Squad 10 will be Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka". The only response was an over exaggerated sigh from Shikamaru. The response to that was Ino yelling at him over his laziness then a whispered "troublesome blondes".

The entire class sweatdropped at their antics before Iruka cleared his throat.

"Are you two done yet? Good now to finish Squad 11 will be Natsu Namikaze, Naruto Namikaze, and Mikasa Ackerman. Your jounin sensei will all be here to pick you up shortly. Good luck to you all". After those few parting words Iruka vanished in a poof of smoke leaving the class to their own devices.

A/N I'm really sorry I didn't update sooner. I literally forgot xD I slipped on ice and had amnesia. I had to read all my old notes and chapters to figure out what to do next.

But anyway hope you like this chapter. And those were my first fight scenes. I'm so happy but sad I couldn't make them longer.

Next chapter we will be able to see what my three main characters can do (Naruto, Natsu, and Mikasa)

Oh and this story will not follow canon completely. Some parts will but for the most part it wont.

Please review
