To start this off, I have no affiliation with the creation of Naruto. The Original work of Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, and what I am working on is purely a Fan Fiction. Please support the original. That said, let us get to the story.

Review response:

Will naruto also be a prodigy with Fuinjutsu, much like his father and Uzumaki clan and his apparent sister? Will he be given the Chakra Chains and other Uzumaki Bloodline abilities? And finally, will he be left like his Canon self and unchanged?

I felt that I answered this previously, but allow me to be a bit more specific. Uzume has shown the ability to Enclose and release seals from scrolls, which is an academy level skill taught to all before they become Genin. At least that is what the Naruto Wiki states.

As for Naruto learning Fuinjutsu, I don't think he will learn it until he is shown how useful it would be in his goals. A prodigy in it, I don't believe that is the right term. As he was successful in doing many things that others could not, due to his skill set. That said, I am not saying he will not learn or use any, but I want to have a specific point where he would learn them and possibly make his own spin on some. Show a more creative side for techniques in his repertoire.

Chakra Chains were shown with two specific people, as for Naruto getting them... I cannot say yet. I have not decided if I feel this would be a good inclusion for his character. His Uzumaki bloodline, I think, is already active. Longevity and strong life force are hard to explain in just visuals, and I don't want to state his stamina and healing are due to his bloodline. As for the healing bite Karen showed in her abilities unless naruto is bitten, I don't think he would figure that out until someone tells him.

Finally, Naruto will not be the same as in canon ultimately. He will be changed but in some other ways. That said, I also don't plan on giving him anything unusual at this time, as he is still barely Genin. I will be showing in the next chapter a bit of the newer skills he has, but they are to show how the changes in his life have altered him for the better. In short, his current skill set will only have a slight difference to normal.

That said, I believe it is time to get to the story...

Team 7 had returned from lunch only to watch as other teams met their team leader, leaving them to be the last three to wait even longer. Naruto's frustration of waiting leading to him placing the eraser between the sliding door. "Teaches him for being late." The blonde prankster chuckled.

"Naruto... our teacher won't like being pranked in our first meeting," Uzume spoke quietly, but only was matched with a handwave to not worry. "I have a bad feeling about it." She mumbled to herself before lowering her head into her crossed arms, her violet eyes staring straight at the board. Her thoughts on the past four years they had been learning in this school. And now she would be out in the world instead.

Only a few minutes passed, Sasuke believed no Jonin level ninja would fall for such a trap. He instead watched as a silver-haired man opened the door, and a white puff of chalk powder showered over him. Sasuke was unimpressed with the caliber of teacher he would be forced to deal with.

"Hahaha! Hook line and sinker. Fell right into my trap." Naruto cheered for himself. Uzume keeping quiet, but tightened her arms as her chin and pulled her gaze to the ground.

The Jonin placed his hand to his mask covered chin. "How should I put this? Based on my first impression..." His voice was oddly cheerful as he looked over his possible future students. "I hate you all." The room's mood shifting quickly to unpleasant.

"I knew it." Uzume talked into her arms, muffled as she buried herself more into her arms.

"Alright, today is a lovely day, and I hate classrooms. So let us head up to the roof for our first team meeting." Without a second to allow their comments or complaints, he had already walked out the doorway and headed their new designated meeting.

Only a few minutes would pass, but with a new sense of dread from their first impressions, it felt like a walk that would not end. Uzume's hand tightly clenched to her brother's jacket as he led the way. Sasuke let out a disapproving sign through the nose, trying to keep it somewhat unnoticed. Their new leader placed himself leaned onto a railing as the three of them sat on the steps before him.

"Now, I would like you all to tell us a bit about yourselves." The older ninja said as he got comfortable in his new position.

"Like what?" Naruto asked as it seemed to simple to just be an introduction.

"You know, the usual get to know each other things. Likes, Dislikes, Hobbies, Dreams, maybe even a favorite color if you wanted. The basic things."

Naruto was still slightly confused by this. "So you want a basic introduction. If that is the case, you should start off. We know each other. You're the new person to us."

"Very well." The join looked above them for a moment. "I am Kakashi Hatake. I am the kind of person that doesn't talk about likes or dislikes. My dreams for the future are none of your business. And I have lots of hobbies." Kakashi gave an example while he kept himself a mystery to them. More of an annoyance to them.

"Fine then. I guess I will start after pulling that prank on you." Naruto chuckled a bit. "I am Naruto Uzumaki! I like Instant Ramen, but I love even more is when Master Iruka takes me to the Ichiraku Noodle Bar. I dislike having to wait for the ramen as it always smells delicious, and I hate bullies..." Naruto started cracking his knuckles with his other hand for the final part. Kakashi worried that Naruto was just someone looking for the next meal of ramen. "And my dream is to be the best ninja past, present, and future! I will become the Hokage! Oh, and my hobbies are pranks, practical jokes, and hanging out with Hinata."

Kakashi's face shifted to surprise for a moment as Naruto commented on his dream. He was not prepared for that little bit of knowledge. He quickly returned to his lackadaisical look as he mired the idea for a few moments. The comment of Hinata was tossed to the side in his mind, unaware he meant the Heiress of the Hyuuga Clan. "Alright, Next?"

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I hate most things and don't much like anything. And I don't have a dream, as it is merely an illusion. I have determination. I plan on restoring my clan, and I have a specific person I have sworn to kill." Sasuke's hands rested over his face as his eyes were focused forward. Naruto gulping at the thought, he might be the target for calling him a loser after all. Kakashi was very aware of the person Sasuke spoke of.

"And finally, our young lady." Kakashi calling out to Uzume. Instead of answering quickly, she lowered her head. "Yes, I mean you."

"Hey, give her a moment. She doesn't like new people." Naruto called out before he turned to his sister. "It is alright, Uzume. Master Kakashi isn't testing us, he just wants to get to know us."

Uzume's eyes wavered as she looked at her brother. Her hands moved to the collar of her shirt. She pulled up a face mask she kept underneath it. "I-I-I'm Uzume Uzumaki..." She spoke quietly, as her eyes refused to lift higher thank Kakashi's feet. "I l-l-like to read... I dislike..." She froze a bit as she felt Kakashi's attention focus on her. "I hate this..."

"This?" Kakashi asked, confused about what she meant. Seeing the young girl finding it so difficult to speak. Before visiting, he did confer with the Hokage and heard of how passive she was.

Uzume tried to focus on her thumbs, flicking them against each other as she held her hands to her chest. "I hate being the center of attention... feeling eyes on me... I rather... be invisible."

"Ah." Kakashi nodded. "Well, that is a good quality for a mission. But for your team, that isn't good. We can't work well together if you try to keep to yourself too much."

"She told you-"

"Naruto, Silence." Kakashi's voice raised, snapping the young Shinobi's attention. "I am not attacking Uzume. I was trying to instruct her on the importance of communication. And you are making it more difficult to allow that." His voice returned to the neutral tone, his exposed eye returned to Uzume. "How about your dream?"

Uzume froze for a bit again. Kakashi reading her the best he could. This time it was less about fear; she was thinking. He began to wonder if anyone ever asked this question. Had she ever even thought of what she wanted? Or was she doing this only to stay close to her pacifier? "I... I don't have one..." Uzume said weakly.

"Of course you do, you worked so hard to pass. You endured so much." Naruto tried to speak to cheer her on to find her answer.

"That is completely fine." Kakashi's voice echoed before them. Uzume's eyes lifted to see the kind gaze of her teacher. "Not everyone has a dream when they are young. Some people don't learn what they want until they are much older. Admitting you don't have one is very mature of you." Kakashi leaned back to his seat on the rail, a slight scratch to his cheek. "I think that is enough. I believe we understand each other much more clearly. Tomorrow starts formal training."

"Oh yeah! What shall our duties be as formal Shinobi!" Naruto excited as he saluted.

"Our first project involves only the members of this cell," Kakashi announced as Naruto's excitement only grew. "Survival Exercises."

"Survival Exercises?" Naruto questioned, Uzume groaning slightly at the unpleasant idea. Sasuke was less expressive of his displeasure as it meant a waste of time. "We already have done tons of survival training in the academy."

"Yes, but none like the one you're about to do. As you have to survive me, unlike your more practical test."

"What is different from them?" Uzume asked, having another lousy feeling.

Kakashi chuckled to himself. Naruto growling at the idea of him laughing at his sister's question. "What's so funny!?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Just that if I told you, you would all chicken out." Kakashi admitted it was not the question but the circumstances they were in.

"Chicken out? Why?" Naruto's starting to hate the rollercoaster that their new teacher was putting them through.

"Of the nine teams, totaling twenty-eight successful testers, only three groups will make it being names Genin. The other teams will be sent back to the academy for more training. That means there is a sixty-six percent chance of failure." Kakashi's calm demeanor oddly multiplied the dreadful information.

Naruto surprised that even though he barely passed that he could be sent back to school! Even Sasuke got a chill, as being sent back could lead to him taking even longer for his personal mission. Uzume felt oddly pulled, as being sent back to the academy, she could prepare herself to be a Genin for another year. It also meant she would be holding back the other two.

"See? you're chickening out!" Kakashi's laughter only sent them to worry more.

"That sucks! What was the graduation even for?" Naruto loudly yelled out, unwilling to accept all his hard work could end up being for nothing.

"We wanted to rub out the worst cases right away, and have only ones with actual potential to even try the final test," Kakashi explained without a hint of remorse for their troubled minds. "In any event, We'll meet in the practice field tomorrow morning, so I can evaluate your skills and weaknesses. Bring all your ninja tools and weapons." Kakashi lifted himself from his perch, his finger pointed to the sky as he thought of something. "Also, don't eat breakfast beforehand. If you do, you will throw up." Kakashi pulled free from his pack three simple documents to provide to the three newbies. "Here are the details of your assignment, Memorize it. And don't be late."

The three young ninjas read through the documents, the fear of losing their position etched into their minds. Once home, Naruto began to work on strategy on how to face Kakashi. This was not from an effigy of his teacher, though. Some real battle experience was needed to be gathered. Naruto couldn't guess how Kakashi could fight, but he could make a clone of himself, and it could transform to look like him. This allowed him to estimate Kakashi's reach and prepare to face him in one on one combat.

Uzume watched in amazement of Naruto's newest technique, unaware that he got it from a stolen scroll. She couldn't think what she should do to prepare, grabbing her books used for studies on the basic techniques. Refreshing herself on the most straightforward methods, deciding to put her full effort into the exercise. If only to make sure Naruto and Sasuke would not be held back by her.

-Practice fields, following morning-

"Good morning, class!" Kakashi cheerfully called to his three young subordinates.

"YOUR LATE!" Naruto screamed out in hunger-fueled frustration!

"Well, a black cat crossed my path. So, I had to take a long way." Kakashi lied, listening to the suspicious grumble from Naruto. His eye shifting to Uzume and caught something strange. Naruto and Sasuke had a leg pouch to at least carry a few kunai, and even had bags at other locations to hold additional gear. Uzume, though, had none of those. Instead, appearing unarmed and unprepared for an earnest mission. "Uzume, do you think you're capable enough to handle me without gear?"

Uzume looked at him, confused. Then she realized that he never worked on her training. She slipped her hand under a fold of her kunoichi gear. "I am not very strong... So I carry it all here." She spoke as she pulled out a medium-sized scroll. "Weapons, replacement clothes, mending tools, rations. Everything a ninja may need."

"Interesting." Kakashi placed his hand to his chin. "But..." A display of speed surprised the group as the scroll was removed from Uzume's grasp and was held loftily by their teacher. "Having all your eggs in one basket means when you fall, they can all break."

"Hey, give that back!" Naruto snarled as he turned, a raised fist in an attempt to intimidate Kakashi. Sasuke glad to see some of the actual skills of a Jonin level ninja.

"Ninja must be prepared for all cases. That includes their packs being rummaged through, and some gear being taken. But your sister made it even easier for herself to be placed in a grave position. For that... I will not return her scroll. You now have a secondary mission to your assignment." Kakashi flipped the scroll and slide it into his pack behind him. "Rations, arms, and any other gear she had must be recovered."

"I said, give them back, you jerk!" Naruto roared as he drew his Kunai. He was not about to let his sister be picked on. He charged the teacher with no remorse. A flash of movement, and it led to Naruto's own weapon press to his own head. His arm wrenched behind him, and his head forced still by another grip of Kakashi's.

"I have not even given your mission to you. You came at me intending to kill, which has warmed me up to you." Kakashi released the still upset Naruto. "But now is the time to listen."

Naruto turned to give another go into attempting to force Kakashi to relinquish his sister's scroll. Uzume grabbing hold of his arm. She didn't say anything, but the look of worry on her face was enough for him to settle himself down. "Fine..." He huffed defiantly.

"Good," Kakashi spoke cheerfully, as he placed an alarm on a stump nearby. A small click as he set the alarm. "You three have until noon to complete your assignment." The older man lifted up two bells, a slight jingle from them. "It is very simple, you just have to take these bells from me. That is all." He jingled them again to make them focus on their goal. "If you cannot get them in time, You will go without lunch and be tied to the post. In that case, I will be eating your lunch."

The stomachs of all three near Genin grumbled violently at the idea of going without lunch even more. Kakashi's plan to put them into a significant disadvantage working, as he hoped it meant they would rely on each other more. Sasuke noticing that there were two bells and three of them. "What happens to the one who can't get a bell?"

"Good catch, Sasuke. One of you will end up on the stump, and I will have a free lunch. That and one of you will prove to be insufficient to become a Genin. That one goes back to the academy for more training." Kakashi jingled the bells once more to keep their focus. "Of course, all three could still fail as well. You are allowed any weapons at your disposal, including Shuriken. I want you all to come for me in earnest. We will start on my go."

Naruto and Sasuke readied themselves, their dreams resting on the bells. Uzume's mind was more focused on the speed and skill that Kakashi displayed already. How could they win? A Jonin is way out of their league. "Ready... get set..." Uzume felt her heart pounding in her chest. She wasn't ready, but if she didn't get a bell for her and Naruto... then she would be alone when he was on missions. "Go!" The three Genin in training vanished, taking themselves into hiding and waiting for the perfect time to strike.
