Part 2
Naruto had woken up early in the morning, his normal time at five in the morning and began preparing food. He made some for himself, Mito as he promised, and the other three girls. he knew Hinata was totally obsessed with cinnamon buns and made some of those as well. As a shadow clone him was preparing the food, the real him was out on his morning run with Gai-sensei and Lee.
"Hey guys! You ready?" he said jogging up to them. When he first started out with them, he thought it was completely insane what they did, but it helped imensly with his Rokushiki training and Black Leg styles, especially now that he wore gravity seals.
"Ah Naruto! Its good to see you on this youthful morning! You stsrt the academy today?" Lee all but yelled.
"Yeah i do, but i didn't want to miss this routine." he smiled.
"Such youthfullness! My your flames of youth shine brightly! Now, let's begin our youth warm-ups!" Gai said and they began their 'warm-up', which would equal to anyone's normal training. At first, Kakashi was totally against the idea. He didn't want him to turn into another mini-Gai, but the blonde boy had reassured him over and over that he would never turn into him.
After the morning training was finshed, he went back home and went straight to his room to change and clean up. On is way, he gained the memories of his clone and had seen him placed them into storage seals and placed it in his room. As he went upstairs, he noticed his mother was already up making breakfast but he didn't spare her a glance and just started getting ready for the day. He wore his normal Sanji-like attire that consisted of black suit pants and black boots. He wore a blue suit shirt that he rolled up that went all the way to his elbows, though it was below a bit. He had already began parting him hair, so that it covered the right side of his face, but since he didn''t cut his hair for a while, some of his bangs began covering some of his left eye as well, but he could still see. He got the storage scrolls had food placed in them and made his way downstairs. Storage scrools were noraml only for weapons and objects and the food would normal go bad if placed inside. Naruto though, being the genius he was, managed to modify the scroll so that it would bassically freeze the time in their, so if you were to seal a hot cup of tea inside the scroll, then you'l get the same hot cup when you unsealit. Hiruzen told him it was a great invention, something that no one had ever thought of.
"Nii-san! Are you already laving?" he heard Mito call for him. Walking to where she was, he noticed that everyone else was there eating breakfast. The shocked looks on Minato and Kushina's faces were really hard to miss.
"Yea, I'm heading out. The academy is going to start soon." he smiled at her and she nodded.
"Wait for me alright. I'm almost finished." she said and he nodded
Meanwhile, Minato and Kushinawere having a mental breakdown. They had completely forgotten about their son! Who the hell forgets about their child! They noticed that he never even glanced them or Menma and was patienty waiting for his sister. From that alone, it told them that he and Mito had a good relationship.
"N-Naruto, you never had any breakfast." Kushina said, and stood up to eat prepare his meal that she didn't make.
"I already ate early this morning." he simply stated. Menma just looked at his brother. He hated him. Why? Because while he (Menma) was training so hard, Naruto was allowed to do anything he wanted, but then he remebered something.
"Ha! You can't even use chakra, how are you going to be a shinobi?" he said smugly.
"Shut up Menma, he couldn't unlock his chakra before but now he can." Mito came to the defense of her brother. She hated Menma so much! These statement shocked the three there.
"Naruto, you unlocked your chakra?" Minato asked.
"Hai." he said turning the page of the book he was reading, not bothering to look up.
"When?" Kushina pressed on.
"About a couple months ago." he said again, not looking at her, again shocking them.
"W-Why didn't you tellus?" Minato exclaimed.
"Why? Are you going to start training me now?" he asked, for once looking from his book and straight inothis father's eyes, making the older blonde flinch.
"Y-You know your siblings need to control-"
"Like i said, it wouldn't have made a difference." he said and then went back to reading his book. Mito, seeing that his brother didn't want to stay here anymore, gobbled the rest of her food, grabbed him by the hand and ran out, but not before giving her parents a short goodbye.
"I'm sorry nii-san. If I had finished faster-"
"Its alright. It was bound to happen anyways. Besides this way they won't be able to deny me going to the academy." he said ruffling her her making her grin, "Are you ready for the taijustu spars? Usually there are these simple spars and the parents are allowed to watch."
"Yeah. I have a feeling that Hinata is going to win the taijutsu for the girls." Mito said.
"You each of your strengths. Your great at kenjustu, Hinata taijutsu, Ino genjutsu and Sayuri ninjutsu. Remeber i said we'll train at the pirate ship i found? There are speacial techniques for each one of you." he said, making her smile.
"Really?! We are so going to badass!" she exclaimed, punching the air, making him laugh. "Oh nii-san, i hope you made food for luch." she asked, looking at him, as if threatening him to say no. Naruto gulped an quickly answered,
"Don't worry, I made everything this morning. They're in these storage scrolls, see." he said, pointing to the scrolls in his bag. She smiled and gave him a tight hug. Her onii-san's cooking was always the best.
"Oi! Mito! Naruto! Over here!" they heard Ino's voice as they arrived at the academy. They spotted her, along with Sayuri and Hinata and a bunch of other students and parents.
"Hey girls!" Mito yelled back as she grabbed her brother's hand and dragged him to the group.
"You guys came on time." Sayuri said, hugging them.
"I thought you'd come with your parents." Hinata said and saw the angry expression on Mito's face and the twitch on Naruto's eye.
"What happened?" Sayuri asked and Mito told them everything that happened this morning.
"I can't believe those two! The nerve!" Ino exclaimed.
"I'm sorry to say, but I hate your parents. Like I really do." Sayuri deadpanned, making them laugh.
"And Menma! What's his deal? Why does he hate you so much Naruto?" Hinata asked.
"I really don't know. I mean, I hardly do talk to him and even then, its him insulting me and me just ignoring him. Forget it. Its our first day and it should be a happy day, not messed up by moody jerk." he said, making them giggle.
"Ah Naruto, I see you've arrived." they heard a voice behind them, which turned out to be Hiruzen Sarutobi along with Kakashi and a four year old Konohamaru, his grandson.
"Naruto-nii-san!" Konohamaru exclaimed, jumping on the boy's back with a smile.
"Jiji, Kono, aniki! What are you guys doing here?" Naruto asked, but was happy that they were here.
"Ma, can't an older brother wish his younger sibling good luck?" Kakashi said ruffling his hair and giving him an eye smile. "Good luck to the four of you too." he said to the girls.
"We came to see your match!" Konohamaru said excitedly, still on his older brother-like figure's back. Naruto had spent a lot of time at the Sarutobi clan compound and had a deep bond with the younger boy, seeing him as a younger sibling.
"Really now? And here I though you were going to sneak inside and pretend you were here for the academy." he joked, making them laugh and the younger boy huff.
"You'll see! I'll become stronger than you one day." he declared. Just then, they heard the bell ring, signaling it was time for them to go to their new classes.
"We'll see you again in a couple minutes or so. They usually make the taijutsu spars first so that parents can leave early." Hiruzen said. "Oh and Naruto? Please don't seriously harm them."
"No promises there jiji." he chuckled, placing the younger boy on his back down and walked away with his friends.
"So, you think Minato and Kushina know that he accessed his chakra yet?" Hiruzen asked Kakashi as they made their way to the back of the academy, like the rest of the parents.
"I don't really know. Ma, they'll find out eventually." Kakashi said bringing out his orange book.
"Ah! You're reading the book jiji likes to read! Naruto-nii said its perverted. Are you a pervert like jiji?" Konohamaru asked, unintentionally loudly, gaining most of the people's attention, much to the two men's embarrassment.

Naruto, Mito, Hinata, Sayuri and Ino had all been assigned tot he same class, much tot heir relief. They all sat at the back of the class, where Naruto had told them about what had happened the night before.
"Its really cool! See, he made this!" Mito said, showing off her crystal bracelet.
"Oh my god! Its so beautiful!" Ino squealed, ever being the fashionista and the other two agreed.
"Don't worry, I made one for each of you." Naruto said, taking out three identical bracelets the only difference being that their initials were on it, just like Mito's.
"Y-You made one...for each of us?" Hinata asked.
"Of course. You guys are my friends." he smiled, making them blush. Just as they were talking three of the most annoying, in their case, and arrogant boys walked up to them. Sasuke Uchiha, Menma Namikaze and Kiba Inuzuka.
"Hey girls, why not hang out with us instead of this loser." Kiba Inuzuka, second born of the clan head said. He had always had his eyes on Hinata, though he did leer at the other girls at time to time.
"Get lost Kiba. The only loser here are the three of you." Mito shot back.
"Seriously, he can't even use chakra and you hang out with this freak?" Sasuke said, looking at his twin with arrogant disapproval. Like Kiba, he had a crush on one of the girls, namely Mito, but hated Naruto since she was so close to him.
"For your information he unlocked his chakra a long time ago and why would we want to hand out with you stupid jerks?" Sayuri sneered.
"Hey! Take that back! Not even our parents love him. He's a disgusting disgrace." Menma smirked, his crush girl being Sayuri herself and that was the last straw for Mito.
"You bastered!" she yelled, her eyes changed to slit red, scaring the three, fear written on their faces. She went to jump them and beat them up, but golden chains had wrapped around her bring her to sit on a lap.
Naruto really didn't want to deal with them. Those three were really annoying, but he knew something big would happen if Mito started using the Kyuubi's chakra, even if it was unconsciously, so when he noticed that she was going to start a fight, he used his chakra chains, something he discover a month after he unlocked his chakra. He pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her to stop her from breaking free.
"Mito, stop, they're not worth it. You'll get in trouble if you use the Kyuubi's chakra." he whispered in her ear, making her blush a bit, but she stopped struggling. He had retracted his chains. The three boys were just rooted in their spots, Sasuke and Kiba because of fear, but Menma because of the chains Naruto used.
"You have kaa-san's chains..." he whispered. Naruto just looked at the three of them and exerting a bit of his Conquering Haki he glared at them.
"Go sit down and wait for the teacher." he said darkly, authority in his voice. When he noticed they were a bit too scared to move due to the Haki he was exerting, he yelled, "NOW!" and like scurrying rats they stumbled over one another and sat all the way in the front, ignoring the laughs at them.
"Man Naruto, they were so scared!" Ino laughed.
"I never knew they were so scared of you, especially Menma." Hinata shook her head. Naruto smiled.
"You okay?" he asked Mito, who didn't really want to get off his lap. She nodded and stayed put, much to the jealousy of the other three. Then a man with tanned skin and a scar across his nose walked in, someone Naruto knew well.
"Welcome class to your first day of the academy. My name is Iruka and I'll be your teacher for the next six years..." he continued introductory speech until he realized that people wee zoning out. Seeing that as a bad sign, especially on their first day, Iruka decided that he would start on the taijutsu matches to see how far each student was. "Alright everyone, lets head outside for the taijutsu matches. It'll show me how far you are in your training." he said assuring them outside,
"Hey there Iruka. Guess I'm lucky tat I'm in your class huh?" Naruto said, walking up to his teacher, making his smile and laugh.
"Yes, I suppose it is. How are you Naruto? Its been awhile." Iruka said. He and Naruto had met awhile back through his girlfriend, Anko. Naruto and Anko had a sibling-like relationship and since they were dating, Naruto made sure the chuunin wouldn't hurt her. Oddly enough, he didn't know why he was frightened by the younger boy.
"Yea it has been." Naruto said as they finally reached the arena. There were all the parents, including his own and his godparents for some reason. He saw his jiji, Kono and aniki sitting in the front row and waved to them, which they returned, Konohamaru much more happily.
"Naruto-nii, ae you ready?" Mito grinned at her brother.
"You think I should beat them all up the easy way or the hard way?" he grinned back, making hers wider.
"If you deal with one of the idiotic trio then beat them to the ground!" she declared loudly.
"Right! Show them no mercy!" Sayuri added, a fire in her eyes, making Naruto, Hinata and Ino step back a bit.
"Why is it that you cause problems everywhere you troublesome blonde." Shikamaru yawned as he and Chouji along with Shino stood by the group.
"Hey guys!" Chouji waved, as he ate his chips.
"Shika, Chouji, Shino, how's it been?" Naruto smiled at the three. These three were also his close friends, though they weren't as close as the girls, but they didn't like Menma one bit.
"I've been well Naruto." Shino answered.
"Say Naruto..." Chouji began biting his lips a bit, making the blonde laugh.
"Don't worry, I made lunch for the eight of us." he said, making the Akimichi have stars in his eyes. Naruto's cooking was indeed the best.
"Really!?" the rest exclaimed, though Shino's wasn't heard.
"Yea, we'll eat it when its lunch time." he said, "And yes Hinata, I did make cinnamon buns so please don't look at me like that." they all sweat dropped at the Hyuuga heiress's threatening glare, to which it was soften, making her blush and look away.
"Alright students, the matches shall now commence. It will be a girl vs girl matches first and then the male section." Iruka said, "First match is Ino Yamanaka vs Sakura Haruno. Everyone else step away from the arena."
"Good luck Ino!" Sayuri yelled after her friend, who flashed her a smile as she went up to the arena. Sakura had arrived as well and Ino could only shake her head at the girl. It was clearly obvious that she hadn't been training. Ino had started taking her training seriously when she met her new friends. Sh ewas glad she met them. They turned her into a better person and someone on a path to becoming a great kuonichi.
"Are both contestant ready?" iruka said as they both nodded,
"Hajime!

In the audience, every parent was cheering for their child's matches as they went through. The shinobi parents, however noticed that besides the Ino, Mito, Hinata and Sayuri, the rest of the girls weren't training at all. Though it was only the first day, it seemed pretty pathetic to them.
"Are girls are way ahead of the others aren't they?" Rika Yamanaka, Ino's mother said to the rest of the clan mothers.
"Yes, Hinata actually improved greatly ever sine she started hanging out with her friends," Hitomi Hyuuga, Hinata's mother said.
"Well we all know why don't we?" Mikoto giggled, making the other two join her. Kushina was a lost though at what they meant.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Naruto." they said together.
"He helped them in training. Its because of him taht Ino isn't a fan girl of sorts." Rika smiled.
"You have a gift son Kushina. He must make you proud." Hitomi said, making Kushina feel guilty all of a sudden.
"I bet he's doing well in training huh?" Mikoto said nudge her, making her even more sadder. They noticed this and asked,
"What the matter Kushina? You DO train him right?" Rika asked sternly, seeing from her body language that was the problem. By now, everyone parent was listening in.
"N-No, we don't train him. We have to train Menma and Mito in controlling the Kyuubi's chakra." she said, shocking them.
"Kushina!" Mikoto exclaimed, not believing what she heard. The same could be said by the clan heads who were seated beside their wives.
"Minato, you don't train your son? But he's your heir. His training was suppose to start along time ago." Hiashi stated as he was quite fond of the blonde boy ash eh was the reason why Hinata was as strong as she was. That and he was quite the gentle man.
"Y-Yeah, but we need to focus on those two right now. We planned on training him later on. Right now the academy would help him." Minato replied, gulping slightly at the unknown pressure.
"Oh please! You and I both know that the academy standard's have dropped. He won't get the necessary training that way." Fakuga said, a look of disbelief covering his face.
Meanwhile as the adults chewed out the Hokage and his wife, Hiruzen, Kakashi and Konohamaru, who knew of his the neglect of his older brother, couldn't help but grin.
"Take that child abanding people!" Konoahamaru all but wanted to whisper, but Hiruzen's mouth covered his.
"We're just sitting back and watching the show." he said sagely, with Kakashi agreeing.
"Okay jiji." the boy whispered until he heard Naruto's match next. "Go Naruto-nii!" he excl;aimed, gaining everyone's attention and shifting it to the arena.

"Next match, Menma Namikaze vs Naruto Namikaze." Iruka announced, as they reached the arena.
"Go Onii-san!" Mito cheered.
"Beat him up Naruto! Beat him til he bleeds!" Sayuri exclaimed, shaking her fists gaining fearful looks.
"Right! Kick him out of the village! We need his blood nii-san. His blood must be spilled!" Mito joined in doing the same. They were both angry about what happened earlier and need compensation. Naruto just looked at the two a bit fearful and just walked to the arena. Menma was already there, an arogant smirk on his lips. Naruto just looked at him boredly, his hands in his pockets. This wasn't even going to be a challenge.
"Are both students ready?" Iruka asked, glancing a worried look at Menma. Iruka knew Naruto was by far the strongest student there and just didn't want him to go a bit too far.
"Hajime!"
Menma instantly went into the Uzumaki stance, the Whirlpool stance, while Naruto just stood there, his hands still in his pockets, looking very unconcerned. This made Menma angry.
"What the matter loser? Can't fight?" he asked smugly as he aimed a punch to his face. Naruto just kept on dodging his attacks.
"Stand still and let me hit you!" he yelled in frustration and much to his and everyone's surprise, Naruto just stood there. Thinking this was his chance he rushed in to knocking his blonde twin out when he heard,
"Mutton Shot." and was given a powerful kicking, pushing him out of the arena and out of the yard, violently hitting the fence, making it fall over due to the force. Everyone looked at the blonde boy, who simple took out a box of pokey and placed one in his mouth. He walked over to Menma, looking at him in the eyes.
"I expected more from you. How pathetic." he said to the slightly conscious boy and it was loud enough for everyone to here. He walked back to the arena and looked at both Kiba and Sasuke.
"A repeat of what happened earlier today will get you both into the hospital. Is that understood?" he glaring at them, as if daring them to say no. They both nodded, wondering how he was this strong since Menma had told them all the time that his older brother was weak. Looks like that information was wrong.
"Onii-san!/Naruto!" was the greeting he got from his friends, getting some hugs.
"That was awsome! Though you should have made him bleed a bit." Sayuri said.
"Don't mind her. That was total badass!" Ino exclaimed, making rub the back of is head and grin.
"Arigato." he smiled as they watched the rest of the matches.

The adults just watched in shock as they saw what had happened.
"Of course Naruto-nii won! The weird guy had nothing on him!" Konohamaru said proudly.
"Yes, Naruto-kun is indeed very strong." Hiruzen laughed as Kakashi ruffled the boy's hair.
"He isn't even trained yet he beats the one you focus on." Fakuga jabbed at Minato.
"Troublesome. He must have trained on his own." Shikaku muttered, gaining a mutter of agreement from the rest of the adults. Minato and Kushina were just staring at their son in shock. How the hell did he do that?! Then they concluded that he must be training on his own. They would talk to him later on.
