Hey Everyone, sorry for the delay, work is killing me now but it won't stop me writing! Own nothing and have a good one.
Uzumaki-Namikaze Compound
Naruto was sleeping in his bed, back in the In the Uzumaki-Namikaze compound. It had been 8 years since he went with his pops in that black portal. Urado Otsutsuki didn't only adopt Naruto as Urado show others that Urado has taken under his wing.
Each of them has their own history of pain, though their pain they bonded. Urado trained all of them in a deep understanding of chakra and how to use it. Urado trained them all in their skills and abilities to reach their full potential. Urado teaches them different taijutsu styles, training them in genjutsu, teaching them a few fūinjutsu and giving them all types of chakra exercises to give them full control over their chakra.
But that wasn't the best thing Urado gave Naruto, the best thing Naruto got was a big family.
It hurts Naruto when he finds out more and more about Urado Otsutsuki, about his Pops plans for the future.
Now Naruto is currently sleeping in his old room. His Pops gave him enough chakra to make a special clone called a Connect Clone, which is a clone that shares the memories of the original; both the clone and original have half the chakra and both learn what the other learns.
Pops gave everyone a Connect Clone to have someone replace them in their home place, to learn about home and learn what he has to offer.
The Naruto Clone had to live in Konoha while the real Naruto is with his own family and training. Both Naruto experienced both Konoha and Urado's famliy as he shared memories with his clone.
To the majority of Konoha, Naruto was a dead last, a delinquent, blight on the beloved Hokage's family, one they can shit on and laugh at. If only they knew, true clone Naruto skipped class a lot, but that mostly due to repetitive lectures and his siblings and their followers made every class unbearable to fully study and learn which just added by the clone skipped school. His grades were average but his fighting is strong, each spar he ups against other students he mostly forfeits but when push comes to shove he knocks them down in one hit or choke hold.
Those in the Academy knew no student could beat him and so do the people even when they try to publicly chewed out, scolded, bribed, threatened but it had no effect on him. They forbid him from entering their shops and restaurants which suited Naruto just fine; he didn't want anything to do with the petty masses of Konoha.
He only used Konoha for his own ambition and he refused to take their shit, they could all die tomorrow and he wouldn't care. They don't matter to him anyway.
His parents are no better, Minato said that he was a disappointment, Kushina who refused to believe him when he said others tried to hurt him and slapped him for his supposed trouble making. Jiraiya said he wasn't worth anything and was lucky to be born and Tsunade just ignored him.
This sibling on the other hand.
"Oy, stupid Naruto, I guess you aren't going to eat again? I guess I could let mom bring you a bowl if you get down on your knees and apologize to your betters." His little brother Menma shouted behind his door, but Naruto remained silent, which caused another hard slam on the door,
"Hey, weakling, didn't you hear me! respond dammit!" Menma slammed the door again for attention.
"Menma, you know how much the failure he is, he will learn his place soon enough." Mito said in a cold tone as Menma just snorted at her.
"You're lucky this time, failure, why were we cursed to have such a brat like you as a sibling." Menma said before stomping downstairs with Mito following behind.
Naruto listened for him to leave and once he did, he could smell the scent of ramen wafting through the vents, most likely an attempt of his siblings to entice and punish him for not apologizing and bending backwards for them.
It didn't matter to Naruto as he flipped the vents shut as the scent of ramen left his room,
'How can they eat the same food constantly and not be sick of it already? It can't be healthy, No matter...' Naruto had multiple reserves of food already cooked and prepared hidden and kept fresh by seals and his mini-fridge hidden away, he kept his bedroom door locked, at all times, he didn't need to know how many times they tried to break into his bedroom to do whatever foul pranks their twisted minds could come up with in order to put him in his proper place, but he refused to do what they wanted.
Naruto eats some fruits and cereal with some warm milk he had sealed into. He looks out his window, ready to finally finish the academy.
LINE
The Academy, Gradation day,
As everyone sat around waiting for what could be the best or worst days of their lives.
Many students were conversing, expressing their nervousness or hiding it under a layer of reassurance that they would pass the exam and become a part of the ninja force, their dreams of saving princesses or fighting epic battles that would be told throughout history, filled their little minds. Others were more realistic through the stories due to their families being born and bred ninja and their experiences.
Shame only a few of them survive out in the real world.
Soon enough, Iruka came in with a stack of papers, but Mizuki wasn't following after him. Once he placed the papers down on his desk, he turned to his students, many of which were still conversing.
"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU BRATS!" Iruka shouted as the room was finally silent as he cleared his throat.
"Now, everyone, before we begin, I need to inform you all that Mizuki is out sick so I will be the only one administering the exam today so please behave." Iruka explained which Naruto is grateful for.
"Good that bastard isn't here today, he is always on my ass about everything" Naruto thinks as Iruka gets their attention.
"Everyone as you should know, the Academy test that promotes you to genin is as follows, a written exam, kunai and shuriken throwing, a taijutsu match against your fellow students, and then a one-on-one session with me to determine your ability to properly perform the Academy three, which is Substitution, Transformation, and the clone jutsu. All of these must be passed in order to graduate. Do you understand everyone?" Iruka said.
"Yes, Iruka-sensei."
"Good."
He handed the papers to each row and had the students pass them down to each person before getting up to the last row and handing Naruto his own, which she softly thanked him for as he returned to his desk.
"Everyone has an hour to complete this test. Begin." Iruka instructed as everyone started.
It was a fifty-question exam covering a variety of topics concerning shinobi life and what to do in certain scenarios. After the hour was finished, everyone was to be led outside to show off their throwing skills.
Naruto watches as Iruka tests everyone's kunai and shuriken throws, most got average while those with clan or ninja family got above average with his blood siblings getting the highest.
"Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." Iruka called out, as Naruto gets up and walks forward,ignoring all the jeers, he should really change his name.
"Try not to be a fuck up."
A snort came from the left, "Loser!"
"Why don't you just quit. You know you aren't going to be like Mito or Menma."
"Failure!"
"Dead last!" One after another insult him but Naruto refused to respond until Iruka snapped,
"That's enough! All of you shut up! You are in the middle of an exam that allows you to become a ninja, but do not think your grades are the only thing that will allow you to be one. Your behaviour has to be of one as well. The next person who makes another foul jeer will be immediately kicked out and you will have the opportunity to take the exam again after a year of behavioural training to correct yourselves." Iruka pointed his foot down, the area was silent as several students were wide-eyed at the threat as he shook his head in dismay at their behaviour only to catch Naruto looking at him with a raised eyebrow but giving him a thank you smile which surprised Iruka.
He collected himself and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Ready...Go!"
Naruto threw his kunai to be embedded into the dummy, seven kunai were embedded into kill points of the dummy, two more were embedded into crippling points of the dummy while the last one was buried into the head of the dummy.
"I have to give you extra points for the head strike and the way you managed to get your shuriken embedded into the head. For kunai, you scored 9 out of 10, and for shuriken, you scored 10 out of 10. Full marks for that, Good job." Iruka said as Naruto bowed and made his way back to his spot as his classmates' stares started to grind into his head, but he ignored them.
He continued this method with the rest of the class until he finished with the last one and said, "Now, everyone, let us head towards the training ground. We are going to test your taijutsu against your fellow classmates."
As everyone followed after him, they were told to sit down and wait for their names to be called to enter the ring.
"Memna! Kiba! You two are up first!" Iruka called out,
"Thank fuck, I thought I was going to fall asleep." Memna grinned,
"You said it," Kiba groaned with Akamaru barking in agreement before yawning.
"Lay down, buddy. I got this. Hinata can you watch him for me?"
"Sure, Kiba. Come here, Akamaru." The white dog barked in joy and jumped into her arms as she petted him.
The two entered the ring, as Kiba cracked his knuckles and got into a stance, "I'll kick your ass this time!"
Memna responded by getting into his father's own stance with his own grin, "Say that when you can get me on my ass, dog boy."
"Ready...Go!"
Naruto tuned everything out and waited for her name to be called, ignoring all the other matches.
Menma vs. Kiba - Memna won
Sakura vs. Yakumo - Yakumo won
Ino vs. Hinata - Hinata won
Mito vs. Shikamaru - Mito won
Choji vs Shino - Choji won
Satsuki vs. Ami - Satsuki won
Naruto vs Sasuke
Naruto opens his eyes as Iruka looks at him, "Naruto, it's your turn."
"Ah..." He quipped as he got up and made his way forward.
"Try not to be an embarrassment, Naru~." Mito called out,
Her words caused her cronies to laugh as Naruto rolled her eyes as her child-like act to gain attention.
"Mito! What did I say?!" Iruka snapped at her.
"Sorry, Iruka-sensei." Mito apologized.
"It's not me who you need to apologize to or would you like to explain to your father why you are not going to graduate today?" Iruka threaten but Naruto intervened,
"Don't bother Iruka-sensei. You won't get anything from her, or any of them." Naruto said as Iruka tries to say
"But-" Iruka said but Naruto shook his head.
"Consider it a free pass, soon enough, after graduating whatever gods are merciful, I'll be a solo genin and we can be as far apart from each other for the sanity of all. Let's get this over and done with, the day has dragged on long enough." Naruto said to Iruka.
"Very well. Consider yourself lucky, Mito. One more outburst and you are gone." Iruka sighed,
"Yes, sensei." Mito cringed,
"Who am I up against?" Naruto asked
"Me," Sasuke quipped right by his side.
"Hey Sasuke, I can't forfeit can I?" Naruto asked as Iruka shook her head.
"You can't graduate without trying to fight," Iruka said.
"You can't run away this time," Sasuke said, Naruto normally forfeits or throws the match. It irritates Sasuke because he knows Naruto is strong but never fights at his best.
They were made to face each other as Naruto didn't bother getting into a stance to which Iruka commented, "Are you not going to get into a stance?"
"For him? No." Naruto says as Sasuke gives a growl over this and swore to make him pay.
"Very well, begin." Iruka sighed,
Sasuke immediately went on the offensive, lashing out with punches and kicks that Naruto avoided with her hands beside her, he looked bored, disgustingly bored as he danced and spun around him. Every missed strike only enraged Sasuke further.
"Take me seriously!" he screamed but Naruto stopped.
"Fine" Naruto said, he stopped moving as Sasuke got close enough but before he could blink a fist punched him underneath his jaw, disorienting him and knocking him unconscious instantly.
"Winner, Naruko Uzumaki-Namikaze" He bowed and made his way back to his old spot.
"It seems you have some use after all." Memna snorted, but Naruto just ignored him. Before either of her siblings could respond,
"Alright class, that was the last match of the day, we are heading back for the last portion of the exam. the Academy three." Iruka said, As everyone made their way back inside the Academy building, Iruka entered the classroom and gathered a list of students as they waited in the hallways.
Naruto was called first and he made his way into the classroom as Iruka was standing holding a clipboard.
"Now, Naruto, explain to me the Academy three?" Iruka asked.
"The transformation jutsu, the body replacement jutsu, and the clone jutsu." Naruto answered.
"Very good. Now, please perform the transformation jutsu." He nodded, and Naruto flipped the hand signs and transformed into another Iruka.
"Oh, full marks and a good looking one too" Iruka chuckles as Naruto transforms back.
"Please perform the body replacement jutsu." Iruka said, Naruto flipped through five hand signs and switched herself with a chair from the corner of the room.
He gave him full marks as he switched back to be before him.
"Now, do perform the clone jutsu. You can use any variant of the clone jutsu, Naruto." Iruka said, Naruto nodded but he simply flipped through three hand signs and performed seven E-rank clones.
"I thought you would use shadow clones like your siblings." Iruka blinked, knowing how high their chakra is, they needed more powerful clones to use the chakra.
"It would have been too easy." Naruto shrugged.
"Then extra points for performing an E-rank jutsu with your particular chakra coils. Now, would you like to perform an extra certain jutsu?" Iruka asked but Naruto shakes his head, Iruka nods and calculated all parts of his exam and smiled at him as he handed him the first headband of the day,
"Congratulations, Naruto. You passed, making Konoha proud."
Naruto nodded, taking the headband, before removing the blue cloth with a black one with an ivy motif, tying it around his left bicep.
"What time do we show up for team placements?" Naruto asked,
"Tomorrow morning at eight."
"Thank you, Iruka-sensei," Naruto then bowed and jumped out the window.
He then called in the next student.
LINE
As parents came to pick up their children, Mito and Memna rushed towards Kushina, Minato and little Natsumi wearing their headbands with massive grins on their faces as they waited for the last person to finish.
"Alright, congratulations to those who have passed their exams, you are now a ninja of Konoha! Now, you will be placed in your team tomorrow morning at eight o'clock so please do not be late." Iruka came out and announced,
Kushina gave her children a crushing hug that nearly had their eyes popping out of their sockets, "I'm so proud of you, my babies are ninja now!"
Memna groaned, trying to wiggle out of his mother's harsh grip, "Ugh, thanks, mom. Please let go, my ribs."
"Can't breathe...turning blue...can see the light..." Mito croaked out, as she felt her soul leave her body.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Kushina squeaked, fussing over them both.
"You always did have the best hugs, love. They are just a bit too tight for our kids." Minato chuckled,
"I need to work on that." She scratched her head; Minato pecked her on the cheek,
"You just have so much love to give, I wouldn't have it any other way." Minato said as she flushed in turn,
"Oh you." Kushina blush as Natsumi covers her eyes
"Ewwwww" Natsumi complained getting their parents' attention towards them, making them clap,
"Well, kids, we have a party for you all!"
"Hell yeah!" Mito screamed in joy before Minato noticed everyone leaving, he didn't his other daughter.
"Hell yeah!" Mito screamed in joy before Minato noticed everyone leaving, he didn't his other son.
"Where's your brother?" the pair stopped at the mention of him.
"Who cares. He's probably sulking because he failed." Memna crossed his arms and snorted,
"He failed?" Kushina quipped
"We didn't see him with a headband." Mito shrugged her shoulders, looking around as Natsumi looked around confused.
"Okay then, Minato, take the kids home, let me talk to Iruka." Kushina put her hands on her hips,
"Okay. I'll get out the ramen, everyone is waiting to celebrate with you all." Minato said as they cheered.
"Yes, ramen!" They shouted in excitement as Kushina made her way inside the Academy building, taking her time to walk through the halls until she reached her children's homeroom and knocked.
Soon enough she heard his voice, "Come in, please." She entered, making Izuka stand and bow
"Oh, Lady Kushina." She waved him off,
"Please, call me Kushina, Iruka, no need for formalities." She said he straightened himself out,
"My apologies, old habits die hard." After a single moment to collect her thoughts, she decided to get to the root of the matter,
"Iruka, is it true Naruto failed to get his headband?" She asked but Iruka's eyebrows furrowed.
Naruto? No, he passed and obtained his headband." To her surprise.
"What?!"
Iruka ruffled through the papers and folders on his desk, before getting the folder with Naruto name on it that had his exam and show it to her, which had his written exam with his answers and name in perfect print and sensible, his shuriken and kunai scores were near perfect with his taijutsu scores and performance, then his notes to her performance of the Academy three.
"He even did the E-rank clone jutsu instead of the element clones Memna did or the shadow clone jutsu Mito did, as I was expecting either of those as your other children used them in their own performance. He declined to show a special jutsu like his siblings" Iruka explained, as Kushina placed the exam down on his desk, her mind whirling with thoughts about her,
"Can I have Naruto's file and how he is in your class?" Kushina asked.
"Of course, give me a moment, please." He then left the classroom as she took the moment to absorb all the information on him, before Iruka came back, with a fairly thick folder, handing it to her.
"He missed a lot of classes, but it didn't seem to affect his scores in the slightest," he shook his head, "I do not know why people say he's a dead last when he is in the upper ranks of the class in both intelligence and strength. Although it may just be me, I'm pretty sure he was holding back, his taijutsu has top marks as well. He mostly forfeits in sparring or purposely loses but when he fights seriously he never loses a match against a student." Iruka explained as Kushina chewed on her bottom lip.
"I will be taking this, I will bring it back tomorrow." Kushina said as Iruka nodded.
"Of course, have a good evening." Iruka said before leaving.
Kushina leaves with the file in hand, thinking about the mystery of her eldest son.
