I know, I know. Last time I promise.

Whirlpool blood was such a disappointment so I decided to so something much better than what I did last time. Naruto'll have a new sensei (OC), Iruka will be more fatherly and have more screen time, Iruka'll be the first to get a girlfriend, Sasuke'll draw all attention from Naruto so there'll be limited interaction between the Rookie...uh, 10, and other few changes.

There's some kanji in this so don't worry if there are spaces between letters or just big boxes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did Sasuke would never have left, Deidara and Sasori, Itachi and Asuma would survive, Yahiko would be revived, Tsunade would be Naruto's real granny, Sakura wouldn't be so annoying in part 1 and Naruto would have more breaks. Also Iruka and Haku would have more screen time.

Bits of revision on this chapter. Not much though, since I deleted most of the other revision by not clicking save. I've written it back up but I hope you guys like this.

Blonde hair flew over rooftops, blurring in and out of the way of poles and other obstructions to the final destination. Blue eyes and an oranger jumpsuit managed to avoid detection, dodging and sidestepping any who came it's way. A large fox-like grin appeared on the lips of the blur as it passed in to the confines of the forest, deep in to the shurbbery and darkness provided by the trees. Konoha was asleep and none would probably know of the blondes' little adventure tonight save for those who would pass him in to the next level of the ninja academy.

The forbidden scroll. An archive of mystery, intelligence, ancient and forbidden jutsu. A keepsake of previous hokages, and the jutsus' that they not only invented but took from various other ninjas they had met in battle and had taken the time to learn their technigques. Although the scroll was old and powerful it was very, very, very poorly kept. That view was enforced even more by the evidence that a twelve year old boy, who couldn't even pass the academy graduation exam, equiped with one perverted jutsu of his own design, a set of rusty kunai and the largest amount of trust in the world, could steal said scroll and claim it for himself.

The third Hokage might have to reconsider his current security system, or, as it was more likely, get an actual security system other than relying on chunin and jounin syseptable to their limbidos and sexual urges and would faint at the sight of a naked young woman.

Uzumaki Naruto, the village pariah and it's wall against the rage of the Kyubi no Kitsune, scanned his eyes over the scroll, or scrolls if I might use the correct form as there were not one sole scroll, but one scroll that released automatic seals, revealing scrolls written by the four different Hokage. Shodaime, Nidaime, Sandaime and Yondaime. Each with a different scroll on a different subject.

"Sugoi(1)" Naruto said as he was overcome by excitement. The brilliant blonde hair illuminated in the moonlight as the clouds above moved passed the clearing in the forest. "'Shodaime's guide to elemental jutsu and all that Jazz!'" Naruto read aloud. "Sounds like my kind of guy"

That scroll was the first to be opened.

Within his office the sandaime's eyes grew wide as he saw Naruto opening the scroll on elemental jutsu. The basics of the elements, the fusions of the elements and the sub-elements they created. The sandaime grew worried that there were jutsus and instructions in that scroll. His worry was short-lived however as he recalled that Naruto could not in his whole life do a single one of those jutsu.

The reason was is that those jutsu were only sub-elemental. Completely useless to someone who had no ability or kekkei genkai involving the fusions of the five prime elements and no jutsus on those in the least.

The sandaime would later regret not taking more notice after that as if he had he would have remembered that Naruto was one for achieving the impossible.

Mizuki sneered and grinned as Iruka followed his instincts in an attempt to find Naruto and the forbidden scroll. It had been easy to get to the boy and convince him that all he needed to do was steal the village's precious forbidden scroll. After that, Mizuki would kill him and take the scroll.

Even if Naruto survived that he would be in a large amount of trouble with the rest of the villagers and the village council. Not even the sandaime could protect him from the punishment that would befall the unsuspecting academy student when he was found.

The chunin followed his fellow and felt disgust rise up in the pit of his stomach. How could someone like Iruka, who had lost everything that was ever important to him in his entire life to the Kyubi, be so willing to accept the boy? To like the boy? To take the time out to get to know him and treat him to ramen? To love him like a younger brother? Like a surrgate son? Iruka of all people had a right to hate the kyubi and he had just discarded it in order to connect and bond with that monstrousity.

It was Iruka's kindness that had compelled Mizuki towards him, as it had been his kindness to give Naruto a chance.

And it was his kindness that would get him killed this night.

The Crystal Release (晶遁, Shōton) are techniques that manipulate crystal. Using Crystal Release, the user can crystallize anything around them, turning everything into a weapon. Its power to solidify targets can go down to a cellular level. This element appears to regularly use a Ram hand seal. Crystals for the Crystal Release are summoned through any surrounding, making everything a weapon for the user. The only apparent weakness of the Crystal Release is that it cannot crystallize raw chakra, allowing a person with enough chakra control to resist being inwardly crystallized. Lightning techniques also appear to rather effective against the Crystal Release.

"Shoton?" Naruto asked aloud. "Why would anyone use crystals to fight? Cellular level? I may sound more impressive if I actually knew what that meant?". Naruto skimmed through the scroll with scrutiny. The list of shoton techniques sounded cool but they seemed to be way out of Naruto's league. Even he had an inkling that something like this wouldn't work. Nether the less, the blond Uzumaki made a mental note about this and scanned the list of jutsu again, before moving on to the other elements the shodaime had written about, having completely skipped the part about how to work the elements and what they were exactly about.

Ice Release

(氷遁, Hyōton) allows users to combine wind and water-based chakra to create ice, which they could manipulate through willpower alone. This ice is largely immune to fire-based attacks, only melting slightly when coming into contact with flames. Several Yukigakure ninja also have the ability to use Ice Release techniques. However, this is not the product of a similar kekkei genkai, as demonstrated by study in which a Sharingan could copy the,. In addition, unlike the initial bloodline, who could create the users own ice, the Ice Release techniques used in the land of snow require the users to manipulate already existing ice. The Yukigakure ninja use hand seals in their ice manipulation abilities. These Ice Release techniques commonly used the Dog hand seal

"Now that sound's useful" Naruto concluded as he read through. "But if it's a bloodline like Sasuke-teme then I could only use the second style and there's no way I could use it without snow around me. Okay, next one"

The

Lava Release (熔遁, Yōton) jutsu are techniques that combine fire and earth-based chakra to create a torrent of lava that can melt away anything. The Jinchūriki of the Four-Tailed Beast, made use of its Lava Release techniques to fight against several Uchiha and Hyuga. Though it is unknown if this is due to bloodline or a unique ability to the yonbi. Further study is needed.

"Well that's crap" Naruto frowned as he moved on from that. "Why put something as useless as that in. And what the hell is a jinchurikki? and what's a yonbi?"

The

Wood Release (木遁, Mokuton) techniques combine earth and water-based chakra to create wood. Wood Release techniques can be produced from anywhere, including the user's body, as the user's chakra is literally converted into a source of life. Hashirama Senju (your's truely and most coveted ninja in the world) was the originator of this ability, evidenced by the fact that none of his (uh, my) relatives have been shown capable of using Wood Release. The First's ability to use these techniques was the reason for him (me) being given the title of Hokage, and with Wood Release Secret Technique: Birth of Dense Woodland he (I) was able to grow the trees that served as the foundation of Konohagakure.

"At least the shodaime sounded like a pretty cool guy?" Naruto said after reading. "This sounds so much better. With this I'd definityly become Hokage. Mokuton. A true Hokage's tool"

"What am I? Chop liver?" the sandaime asked as he watched from his crystal ball

"Okay, and there are only two left here. Huh? Oh come on this is sad. Kinton? Sunaton? The shodaime couldn't come up with better names? They don't exactly roll off the tongue now do they? Okay first thing I do when I get to Hokage heaven is give that guy a lesson in naming and titles!" Naruto said, a bit put off by the pathetic attempts at sub-element names. "Okay, Kinton. Okay you know what I'll just call it Kaneton, sounds cooler and more metallic"

The Iron Sand ability (

砂鉄 Satetsu) ability (dubbed Kinton by your's truely) was a power used by a clan who moved to Suna. A kekkei genkai that allowed the user to manipulate iron and various other metals. It is said to derive from watching the powers of the Ichibi no Jinchurikki. Little is know, however the ferrokinetic capabilities of such limit can not be overlooked.

Note: After the time of the Shodaime, the Third Kazekage was the last noted user of Satetsu (kinton).

"Well that blows" Naruto grumbled as he read on. "It could be really useful. Like with shuriken or kunai. Ah crap. Okay, now, let's call this bad boy, Saton!"

The ability to use sand and manipulate it (

砂遁 sunaton) is a technique original and exclusive to the ichibi no jinchurikki. Has the ability to manipulate sand. A powerful ability. Not to be taken likely.

"Well that sucks even more" Naruto grumbled as he read the end of the scroll. "Hello, what have we here?"

Within the elemental balance there are tweleve elements under the power of Ying and Yang. These elements are the five basic elements, the five fusions and two sub-elements. Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Lightning, Wood, Ice, Lava, Sand, Metal, Crystal and Sound. Sound is usable by every ninja with musical instrument. The ability to use Neton (Sound Release) without a musical instrument is possible with the right kekkei genkai, but it is mostly a fusion of wind and lightning based chakra.

For those readers, future ninja of Konohagakure, please feel free to read and try out these techniques but remember......the scroll went on to talk about safety but by that time Naruto had stopped reading and had begun to try out some of the elemental jutsu described to him.

Too bad that he had very limited time to do anything.

In the name of the goddess Inari, Iruka was glad to have caught up with Naruto as he sat in the middle of the clearing. He lay on his stomach, his legs in the air and his palms pressed up against his cheeks. His eyes scanned the scroll with enthusiastic ferocity, the ink seeming to preject everything clearly in his mind.

"Why couldn't my text books have been written by the shodaime? I would have passed after a whole year of school" the blond mused, ignorant to the fact that Iruka was so close to his favourite blond student, and by extention his favourite student.

"If that was the case" Iruka said stotically, causing Naruto to jump. "Then no one else would pass. You would probably be the only one to understand it. I hear that the shodaime was simple, like you. In fact if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were his reincarnation"

"Iruka-sensei!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Naruto" Iruka said suddenly, his voice harsh and cold. "We need to talk. Now"

Naruto stood up from the scroll, picking up the one on elemental fusions first as that was the one he was most interested in. He didn't want someone to take it and hopefully he would be able to sneak away with it once this test was all over.

"Did I pass?" Naruto asked.

Iruka raised a fine chocolate brown eyebrow at this question. "Naruto what are you talking about? Don't you know what you have done? You stole the forbidden scroll of the Hokage. Do you realise what that means?"

"That if I learn a technique from here I graduate and become a genin. Mizuki-sensei told me about it"

"What?" Iruka asked in amazment and utter horror. Did Naruto just say what he thought he did? It wasn't possible. The scarred chunin took a step back as he faultered, managing to catch himself before sweat formed on his covered brow.

XXX

"WHAT?!" The Sandaime roared.

The chunin around him all blanched and froze. The fury in the Hokage's eyes burned with rapid intensity. His advisors had just come in and had witnessed the small exchange also. They shared a knowing look, their years of experience telling them that something was not quite right.

"IZUMO! KOTETSU! GET ME MIZUKI IMMEDIETLY! SEND AN ANBU TO NARUTO AND IRUKA RIGHT NOW AND SO HELP ME IF THEY ARE NOT HERE WITHIN THE HOUR WITHOUT A LEGITEMIT REASON I WILL PERSONALLY SEE TO IT THAT YOU ALL BE ASSIGNED D-RANK MISSIONS FOR THE REST OF YOUR CAREERS!"

Promptly the two chunin materialised in front of the sandaime, their bodies hunched over in a bow. "Yes Lord Hokage" the pair said in unison, disappearing soon after to accomplish their goal. The Hokage turned back to the crystal ball his eyes wide with fury and his brow knotted in an attempt to sponge the anger right out of himself.

And that's a wrap.

You guys get to decide which sub element Naruto gets. The only exceptions are Yoton, Saton and Shoton, though if popular demand wants it I'll allow Shoton. I actually like the idea of Shoton but I'd rather it be blue crystal.

If Naruto could use it it would probably be orange crystal.

Better chapter next time. I will close the poll as soon as I begin chapter three. It'll probably be up a couple of hours after chapter two.

No pairings as of yet.

Ferrokinesis - Think pyrokinesis but only with magnetic metals such as iron.

Sugoi - Japanese for Cool or something along those lines.

List of elements - my own creation with imput from t.v. shows, philosiphy and ideas I got when I was bored.
