"The best villains are the ones who believes they are the Heroes"
Naruto
The sun is just starting to appear and shine above Konoha. People are starting to open their shops for another ordinary day. However to some people this is no ordinary day if you can say so. Four long years have passed and now both Naruto and Ino are 13 years old and today is graduation day.
Naruto's case his taijutsu style is very different. He trained his Uchiha style, Kakashi's style and Anko's style, soon creating his own style, he called Hachiman Style, and mastered it within 8 Months . Creating his strongest Taijutsu Attack, Amatsu. And his strongest defence was his Chakra Shield using his Seal around his body, the name of the shield was Bishamon.
When it came to Genjutsu, Naruto could only use one genjutsu, and that was a Genjutsu from his Mangekyo Sharingan, the name of the Genjutsu is, Daikokuten. Naruto wasn't sure what the genjutsu could do since he still hadn't used against anyone, the only source of information regarding the Genjutsu was a scroll left by his father, telling him of the three Mangekyo abilities he had, one of them being Daikokuten.
When it came to Kenjutsu, Naruto had help from Anko's friend, Yugao, who gladly taught Naruto about Kenjutsu, thankfully the Hokage had been ok with Yugao training Naruto in Kenjutsu as long as it didn't bothered her or made her slack in her duties as ANBU.
Naruto had secretly used his mother's sword, no one knew that he had the sword, not even Anko or his Kenjutsu sensei, his sword Dākusuchīru, Naruto managed to implement his Kenjutsu moves taught by Yugao-sensei into his own sword, but Naruto had yet to able to use one of three strongest Kenjutsu moves in the World.
"Ame-no-Habakiri - S Rank" The only known user who was still alive was Mifune, the commander of The Samurai of Iron Land.
"Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi - SS Rank", No one alive knows how to use this Kenjutsu, Naruto had read and even Yugao-sensei told him that a legendary swordsman of Iron Land was the last one to use that move, it was said that he died after using it, but the effects of the Kenjutsu move itself were still visible in the battlefield that it happened despite being over a thousand years ago.
"Takemikazuchi - SSS Rank", it was created by Roku Uzumaki, the founder of The Uzumaki clan, the strongest Kenjutsu move to ever exist, Kushina had left books and several scrolls to Naruto in regards of Uzumaki History and their culture.
Various things Naruto had read, was about the Kenjutsu move that was said, it was powerful enough to cut everything, even Kyuubi himself.
It was even spoken, but more like a myth, that a long time ago, the island where Kirigakure now resides, was actually part of The continent of Elemental Nation, but one night a massive attack had split that part of land that now is known as Kiri.
Most thought that it was just a myth, a legend, but Naruto liked to believe that someone had that power and had cut that massive part of land from the continent for whatever reason. Whatever it was for protection or as punishment, he didn't know.
In fuinjutsu Naruto truly honors the Uzumaki Clan. His ingenuity in the art of fuinjutsu truly is amazing. Naruto is officially a level 10 seal master. Level 10 of 10. Actually Naruto even has some of his own creations and is currently working on his father's Hirashin technique. However the shiki formula of the hirashin must be created for its own user so Naruto cannot use his father's kunais. Since the shiki formula is tied to the users blood. Naruto has to admit that his father truly was magnificent in creating such a simple yet complex technique.
Ino also has training in fuinjutsu but not so extensive as Naruto. Since Naruto used his shadow clone army to pretty much devour every book. Naruto also focused a lot of shadow clones in politics and laws of Konoha since he would have to, one day, put up with the whole world.
Neither of them have extensive medical training. Ino can use a few simple techniques to heal superficial wounds. However both of them have pretty good grasp of poisons and antidotes but also human anatomy. It's in here that the senbon come into play. Naruto can use senbon to mix with his pressure point taijutsu if necessary but also coat the senbon with paralyzing or killing poison of his own creation.
Naruto's House
The first thing Naruto felt after returning from the dream land were two soft pillows stuffed into his face. And he immediately knew whose pillows they were. Opening his eyes, he was not so surprised to find himself being hugged by a sleeping Anko, her long slender legs tangled with his small ones.
Both of her arms were gently wrapped around his neck, her right hand pushing his head into her breasts as she slept peacefully. She would always sleep like this, holding him to her chest tightly as if he would run away. And it would always make Naruto blush as to how their bodies would be pressed flush against each other, it kind of 'activates' his lower region every time to say the least.
He wouldn't complain, which male in his normal mind would? He may have been uncomfortable with it in the beginning, but slowly he began to enjoy it. And not just physically, every time it warmed his heart upon seeing her sleeping face with a small smile this close, it reminded him that he was not hated, his existence was not repelled by everyone; that there were people who cared for him, loved him. And she reminded him of this every day.
They had never done anything, yet.
"Anko" he started "We have to get up, don't forget it's graduation day" - he said as he made a kage bushin to go make breakfast.
"I don't want to get up." - she pouted "I'm very comfortable like this" - she stated to which he smirked.
"Come on now Anko"
Getting up and starting to get dressed. "Anko, it's time" - he said and Anko nodded.
Naruto now was about 171 cm and had two fangs of blonde hair that framed his face.
Ino was slightly shorter than him but if we would compare to the rest of the class she would one of the tallest person there. She wore black pants with white strapping's holding kunai pouch and a white bulky jacket with white fur she also has a lavender piece of cloth tied in her forehead, a gift from Naruto.
"You look handsome Naru-kun" - she said in a sweet voice that sent shivers to the blonde.
"Boss, breakfast is ready" - the clone said and brought milk and cereals, bacon and eggs for breakfast. They both silently ate and he started preparing for the last day of Academy. "Thank Kami" Naruto thought.
After breakfast both left the house and he headed towards the academy. Soon Naruto meet Ino during the walk towards the Academy. Ino wrapped herself around Naruto's right arm. It didn't matter anymore who saw them. It was the beginning of their shinobi careers. The walk was rather calm. Arriving at the Academy they realized it was a bit earlier, they made their way to the back of the classroom and sit waiting for their classmates and sensei.
Soon after their arrival the classroom started filling and moments later entered the almighty Uchiha Sasuke, followed of course by his most loyal fangirl, one whose sole reason for existing was to annoy Naruto. Sasuke scanned the room and spotted both Ino and Naruto. Discarding it he made his way to the first row and took the seat by the windows so he could gaze outside when bored.
Moments later Umino Iruka walked thought the door. Said person had black pants and standard chunnin flat jacket. He had brown hair tied in a pony tail and large scar across his nose. "Good Morning class" - he said. Checking the classroom and noticing he didn't get their attention he used his patented Big Head Jutsu and yelled "SILENCE".
Everyone quieted down a Iruka started calling his students to mark their presence.
Shikamaru sat close with Naruto and Ino followed by Choji, the lazy student high five Naruto and so did Choji, the blonde was wondering who would be his sensei and his teammates, he didn't cared much who was his sensei, he was fine with whoever, but he hoped he wouldn't be in same team with the SasukeEmo, and Sakura Useless.
"As you all know" Iruka started "today is your graduation exam. At the end of the today those who pass will become shinobi of the leaf. We will start with written exam, followed by weapons, taijutsu and finally ninjutsu."
"Now let's begin" Iruka said and started handing out the exams, as he got near Naruto a discrete smile appeared in Mizuki. Mizuki was Iruka assistant and like many others he hated the demon brat and tried everything so he could fail and have his revenge. Naruto sensed something strange about his exam and discretely activated his sharingan and discovered a well placed genjutsu in his test.
Making a half tiger hand seal and saying in his mind "KAI", the genjutsu dispelled and showed the real exam that Naruto started filling and after 20 min he was already done as was Ino and Shikamaru and they waited for the rest of the class.
"OK class, time's up." Iruka said and Mizuki got up and started collecting the exams. After which the class moved to the training field for the weapons exam.
"Alright class, you have here 10 kunai and 10 shuriken that you must throw and hit the marks. You pass the exam if you hit 3 out of 20" Iruka explained and started calling names and each of the students moved forward for the evaluation.
"Uchiha Sasuke" Iruka called and suddenly every fan girl was yelling "SASUKE is the best", "GO SASUKE SHOW THEM", Ino seeing this rolled her eyes and thought "And they called themselves shinobi, Sasuke doesn't even care about them".
Sasuke picked up the weapons and expertly threw them at the same time like the elite he was. Every single kunai ht dead center in the dummies as well most of the shuriken except one that missed the high scoring area. "Well done Sasuke, you got 19 out of 20" - Iruka said and the fan girl group went wild. Sasuke was going back to his place and bumping Naruto said "Beat that dobe".
"Uzumaki Naruto" Iruka called. The blonde simply took the weapons and realized that they were blunt, simply shrugging it off and discretely channeling a bit of wind chakra through them so they would stick to the dummy, he threw them all at the same time hitting every single target dead center.
Iruka smiled proudly. "Good Job Naruto, you got perfect score 20 out of 20" Iruka said congratulating him. The fan girls of courses started yelling that Naruto cheated and Sasuke simply scowled the blonde.
"Yamanaka Ino" Iruka called. Ino much like Naruto walked up and picked up the weapons and threw them hitting 11/20 targets.
Congratulating Ino, Iruka finished the rest of the class and moved to the taijutsu exam. "Ok class, for the next exam you must hold your ground against Mizuki for 2 minutes. Mizuki won't go very much on the offensive but be prepared" Iruka explained. "Uzumaki Naruto" - Iruka called.
"Finally, I get my hands on the demon" Mizuki thought.
Naruto seeing the twisted smile in Mizuki's face decided to make him suffer. Taking his stance, his left hand fist and a bit away, while his right arm was forward and his hand open.
Iruka got confused by Naruto's stance, he had never heard of such a stance.
"Poor dobe, he even doesn't know he what he's doing" Sasuke said getting laughs from his fan girls, especially Sakura. "Looks like Naru-kun is going a bit overboard" Ino thought with a smile.
"Hajime" Iruka said and immediately Mizuki shot forward with a closed fist trying to punch him. Naruto slightly grabbed his fist and turn to dodge. Seeing Mizuki stumble forward Naruto hit his shoulder with a quick fist.
"What did you do to me?" Mizuki asked enraged as he couldn't feel his left arm.
"I hit your muscles joint, your arm is useless,"
"B-But how? How did you know where to hit" Iruka asked, how in the world could Naruto be able to do that.
"Let's just say, I have read many medical books," Naruto said.
"You damn brat, you are going to pay" Mizuki said and pushed forward blindly. As he came close to Naruto he simply smirked and whispered "You should have never tried to sabotage me,"
With a simple move, Naruto punched Mizuki's elbow from behind, breaking it, the blonde then attacked his knee from the right, with a powerful kick, breaking his left knee, before punching him sending Mizuki crashing to the wall and leaving him unconscious, his arm broken and bleeding, his knee was almost ripped out, the skin torn apart, bleeding. The blood slowly dripping in the dirt.
Naruto left the ring area with everyone staring at him. "CHEATER" the fan girls yelled. "How can that dobe defeat a chunnin," Sasuke thought brooding in his spot.
Iruka gave everyone thirty minutes interval while he picked up and took Mizuki to the infirmary. "Alright, since Naruto knocked out Mizuki we are going to have the students fight in one on one while I observe" Iruka explained, silently observing Naruto, while he knew Mizuki was unfair towards the blonde, the damage Naruto did was a bit too much.
"Yamanaka Ino Vs Haruno Sakura" Iruka called out.
"Hajime"
"I'm going to win pig head, I will show that I deserve Sasuke's love," Sakura shouted towa Ino who cringe at her words.
"I don't care about the emo, you can have him. I have found someone much better," Ino said bored already of her ex best friend, since meeting Naruto, she had been wondering how could she had been so blind at the fact that she was basically doing nothing, her becoming a Kunoichi with little to no power would result in her dying somewhere.
Sakura ran towards Ino for insulting her true love, Ino simply waited before grabbing her so called fist, her right hand raised before punching Sakura in the stomach, and kicking her away.
Sakura fell in the dirt, immediately holding her stomach in pain, before crying out in pain.
"It seems befriending Naruto had good results for her," Iruka thought happy with his student.
Iruka picked Sakura up and did quick check up on her and left her leaned against a wall waiting for her to awake up so she can pitted against someone, since he didn't see her do much.
After the taijutsu exam was over everyone went inside the classroom while Iruka called which student individually for the ninjutsu portion.
"Uzumaki Naruto" Iruka called and Naruto got up and made his down the stairs and stood in front of the classroom facing Iruka.
"Good luck dobe, you are going to need it" Sasuke said smirking. Naruto just ignored him, there was no point of wasting his team with someone like him, the only thing that bothered Naruto slightly was that Itachi told him before leaving Konoha to try and become friend with his brother despite everything, the blonde tried several times but all ended with same results, therefore Naruto stopped wasting his time with him, and just focused on gaining knowledge and power.
"OK, Naruto please perform the Henge no Jutsu" Iruka said and there was a poof of smoke and in front of Iruka was a man that, even though Iruka knew it was a henge, send shivers down his spine.
In front of him stood Senju Hashirama, with armour and call. Originally Naruto had wanted to transform like perhaps either Hagoromo or Indra, but knowing no one would perhaps recognise and would even bring up questions, he decided to transform into Hashirama.
"Very good transformation Naruto," - Iruka said with a pleasant smile and continuing with the exam. "Now get ready for kawarimi" said Iruka as he picked up a blunt kunai and threw it at Naruto. Naruto switched with a chair that was nearby.
"Well done Naruto, now do at least two bushins" Iruka said, Naruto always sucked at bushins.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu" Naruto said and the whole class was filled with clones, many gasping at the amount of clones, except Ino who knew Naruto could do this, and Shikamaru just shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know how strong Naruto was but he just yawned, as if was nothing before giving Naruto a thumbs up.
Iruka jaw dropped seeing Naruto pulling an B-rank kinjutsu. "Wow Naruto, kage bushin is a jonin level bushin congratulations you pass" Iruka said. Naruto smirked and picked his hitaiate in black and tied it around his forehead. Ino went shortly after and she too aced the exam, however she could do perfect bushins unlike poor Naruto.
"OK Class the exams are over congratulations to everyone that passed. This year's rookie of the year is Uzumaki Naruto and top kunoichi is Yamanaka Ino" Iruka said happy that Naruto passed and not only that he was rookie of the year.
"Naruto Is nothing but a loser. I'm an Uchiha an elite. I demand a duel between us for the title" Sasuke said.
"It's your choice Naruto" Iruka said.
"Let's go outside, baka" Naruto said and Sasuke smirked thinking he could take him on. Ino just shook her head knowing where this was going. "That idiot ill going to end up in the hospital".
Everyone left the classroom and came to the training ground. Naruto and Sasuke stepped inside the ring facing each other, each one doing half tiger seal signifying they were ready for battle.
"Now this is a duel for title of rookie of the year, you can use anything. However no crippling or killing strike understood?" Iruka said. Getting nods from both of them he said "Hajime".
Deciding to prove his superiority and intending to end this match quickly, Sasuke dashed forward and throwing him a punch. Naruto simply side stepped the punch, he brought his knee and hit Sasuke's stomach. Sasuke bent forward from the strike giving Naruto opportunity to give a chop in the back of his neck leaving him unconscious on the ground.
"It's done" Naruto said and of course the fan girls started yelling the Naruto cheated.
"Congratulations Naruto you are rookie of the year along with Ino" Iruka said and both Naruto and Ino left the academy with her wrapped around his arm.
Shikamaru may look lazy and unfocused but he is also extremely intelligent and observant.
Naruto and Ino were walking together going to have dinner out as a celebration for graduating and becoming shinobi of the leaf.
They were walking to Ichirakus when Naruto sensed someone running through the woods.
Outpost
Mizuki was running through the woods with a large scroll in his back unaware that he was being tailed. Stopping near a small shack, he sit on the ground, opened and started reading from the scroll.
"With the scroll of seals, Orochimaru-sama is going to give more power than I can dream of" Mizuki thought out loud, his left arm was still in bandages, and his left leg was destroyed.
Naruto and Ino wearing this were about to jump him and retrieve the scroll when out of the sudden Iruka dropped in front of Mizuki.
"Mizuki, how could you do this? You betrayed the leaf" Iruka said, not understanding why his friend was acting like this. He didn't understand how is best friend could betray the leaf and steal the scroll.
"Simple Iruka, I want power and when I give Orochimaru-sama this scroll his going to give more power that you can dream of" Mizuki said with a big smirk on his face. He pulled couple of shurikens and threw them at Iruka yelling "Shuriken Kage Bushin no Jutsu", the shurikens multiplied to 20. Iruka seeing this hesitated and ended up pinned against a tree. Mizuki took out a giant shuriken and dashed forward with it spinning intending to end Iruka once and for all.
Naruto seeing this jumped in the middle of them, kicking Mizuki back. "Naruto" Iruka said surprised to see him.
"Ino heal Iruka-sensei, I'll take care of him" - Naruto said. "Hai" she replied and started healing Iruka.
"You damn demon," he cursed before recognising his opportunity to escape. "Have you ever wondered why everyone hates you?" Mizuki asked and Naruto raised an eyebrow. "NO MIZUKI ITS FORBIDEN" Iruka yelled horrified.
"Fourteen years ago the Yondaime didn't kill the kyuubi, he sealed it in you. YOU ARE THE KYUUBI REBORN" Mizuki said expecting to break the brat so he could escape.
"Are you an idiot?" he asked rhetorically. Mizuki narrowed his eyes wondering how it didn't do anything. "I've known about the kyuubi since I was 5 years old, hell I've been talking to him ever since,"
"Since you stole the scroll, I have the right to kill you,"
"Try it demon fox" - Mizuki said and took the last of fuuma shurikens and threw it at him. Naruto dodged the shuriken and went through a couple of hand seals and said Great Fireball technique. Mizuki eyes widened when he saw the fireball coming, he jumped to the left were Naruto was waiting and gave him a fierce kick to the ribs sending Mizuki crashing to the trees.
Mizuki barely got up since he got a couple of broken ribs.
Naruto suddenly showed up behind him, Iruka's eyes widened at seeing the head of his former friend fly up in the air, blood flew everywhere as his body fell in the dirt like garbage.
Naruto didn't looked bothered by what he just did.
"How are you feeling Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked. Iruka was one of a few people Naruto cared about.
"I'm fine thanks to you." he replied. Moments later ANBU arrived at the scene and took Iruka, Naruto and Ino went to the hokage.
Hokage Office
ANBU arrived with the three of them at the hokage office. Naruto delivered the scroll of seals to the hokage.
"Well done Naruto, due to yours and Ino's help we managed to secure the scroll of seals. I'm considering this a B-rank mission. Anything else I might do for you in compensation?" the hokage asked. He was secretly happy that Naruto took his training serious.
"I want to ask Hokage-Sama, if I could be on the same team as Ino and without Sasuke."
"All is well when ends well. Naruto I agree with your request. Be at the academy next week for team placement. See you tomorrow." the hokage said.
"Naruto, Ino how about I take to ramen as a thank you?" Iruka asked and of course Naruto agreed jumping the air.
The hokage just shook his head seeing all three of them leaving his office. He sighed and picked up the pencil.
"NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" the hokage yelled seeing paperwork pop up out of nowhere.
Naruto hearing the hokage yell thought "Maybe I should tell him one of these days".
