I am a monster
Chapter 3: They found out (training arc end) (c)
(Konoha)
Naruto was strolling along the streets of Konoha. He just wanted to enjoy the view and hang in the Ramen stand. Madara had finally allowed him to get some Ramen after defeating an A-class criminal. So he was feeling pretty good because he could tell he got stronger. He was taking in the sights and scenes and taking a rest from training but then he saw it, two green figures dashing through the streets with a speed that could rival his own. At the thought of a worthy challenge, his face contorted into a huge grin.
'Today's gonna be interesting' he thought before dashing after them. Kurama shook her head at his childish attitude and wondered what trouble he would get himself into this time. Naruto had opened the seal on Kurama allowing himself the full amount of chakra that she had. In doing so she could see his memories. The guilt that overcame her was crippling as she knew that his suffering was partly her fault that he had been tortured like that. Naruto had a good heart all in all but a vast amount of hatred when it came to Konoha. He didn't understand it. Konoha was a place built in the forests wit lots of military power, why would someone want to risk their lives for that. If the village was destroyed they could always rebuild so what was there to die for.
As he chased after the horrendously dressed men who were running top speed in no predictable direction he decided that he could get some of his daily workout done with them. He wondered why the shorter one had barely any chakra signature when he discovered something that shocked him, 'This boy has no chakra' the thought shocked. How could someone achieve that level of speed without chakra? It was absurd. Naruto found a newfound respect for the person and decided to talk to them "Hello there I saw you are running and decided to join you what is your name?" he asked politely "WHY MY YOUTHFUL FRIEND MY NAME IS ROCK LEE AND THAT IS MY SENSEI MAITO GAI" Lee shouted, Naruto was a bit taken aback by the youth talk but passed it off as weird ninja quirks. Every Ninja develops weird personality traits to deal with the stress of the ninja world. Anko has her sadism, Kakashi has his perverted nature and Gai and Lee have their rants about youth.
"Lee" calls Naruto he had to let him know this otherwise he might start to think otherwise. Gai who had been watching in the background. More like running alongside them but that was beside the point. "YES MY YOUTHFUL FRIEND NARUTO" Lee says back confused as to why Naruto called him.
"I just want to tell you, Lee, that no matter what happens or what condition you have you are a genius. I can tell you don't have chakra and that is fine. Your drive is what is important. You are a Genius and the most dangerous kind at that. A Genius of hard work" he says with a hint of pride in his voice. Lee began to cry anime tears as he had never truly been considered a genius by normal standards more of a hard worker and for someone to believe in him enough to call him a genius would put tears in anyone's eyes. Even Gai couldn't help but cry fatherly tears at that point.
"Well, Lee it seems we are going to have to cut our little chat short as I have places to be. I will see you in the chuunin exams" he says as he runs off in a burst of speed that leaves a sonic boom behind him (Keep in mind that Naruto is still wearing his own weights).
(Three days Later)
Naruto was getting ready to go to the academy. He donned an anbu style jacket with a mask covering his moth with the kanji mask on it. He could have gotten to school much faster ut he decided to take it slow today. Naruto had developed the ability to manipulate and travel through shadows. He often used it to travel to Zetsu when he used mayfly to go places but he didn't use it when not in combat so he wouldn't become reliant on it.
As he walked to the academy he saw the stares they were giving him, the same hateful glares they always did. He hated them. When he struck, when Konoha incurred his wrath their days were numbered. He couldn't act now so he put on. his happy mask. He smiled as brightly as he physically could only seasoned liars could see through his masks. He would smile at them while he stabbed them in the back.
As he entered the academy the chuunin guards tried to stop his entrance but they learned one life lesson not to be forgotten. You can't stop Uzumaki Naruto. As he entered his classroom he donned his happy mask as he looked around. He noticed the sneers the children had given him. Their parents were the only explanation.
They truly were lucky that he had donned his mask.
Iruka looked at the boy who was smiling brightly and was about to smile back till he saw him. Uzumaki Naruto. The demon boy that killed his parents. He dropped his smile which turned into a hateful sneer.
"Go to your seat de- Naruto" he said catching his slip up with fear of being executed by the Sandaime. These were going to be a long six years but he was going to make sure to humiliate the demon as much as possible.
As they all sat down in their seats a hierarchy quickly was put into play. One Naruto didn't want to be a part of. He didn't like dancing with children and it brought him no joy harming the weak. A child began walking up to him. Who was it, he didn't know and frankly didn't care. The unknown student made his presence known as he slammed his hand onto the table. Even then Naruto did not look up from his book. It was his mother's diary and he wasn't about to stop reading it because some spoilt brat couldn't keep himself cool.
Everyone turned to them and Naruto felt all their eyes on him and didn't care. He was in front of Uchiha Sasuke. The golden boy of the village and the village King. "Oi demon" said Sasuke. It was obvious to Naruto that he had been manipulated by his father into the way of the villagers Naruto knew that Fugaku's days were numbered and the one to bring the weapon down on his neck would be one close to him. "You better not get in my way you filthy cretin" Sasuke said arrogantly. He quickly became angry since his supposed bullying victim didn't even react. He saw that he had a red book in his hand and reached to grab it, as he did he felt an oppressing force push him into the ground. It was Naruto's chakra. "Settle down Sasuke" he said. The whole class could barely move and the Hokage and his own personal squad of anbu were rushing towards the academy fearing an attack.
Naruto rested his legs onto the table and began reading his book again. Sakura quickly broke out of her stupor and moved to hit him over the head till she felt a cold blade at her neck. "I said settle down" he whispered. She quickly backed away from his scythe and sat down in her seat in complete fear of the child in front of her.
The Hokage was at the door in a few minutes and turned to Iruka with a stern look and asked "Iruka-san what happened here" he asked. Iruka quickly explained what happened and then they both looked back at the blonde boy with the biggest smile on his face as he read his book. 'A very long year indeed' Iruka thought.
