If you notice every prodigy in the series is the product of bloodlines and nepotism giving them the best trainers! I wonder how good they would be on their own...

Any thoughts on The limits of this OC is welcome...
As I rewatch the series I realize that Naruto is the kind of kid I would have hated in school...

"I miss Mio.' Sighing, Naomi sat like every other student waiting for Iruka to return and capture Naruto once again. The idiot had, to no ones real surprise, defiled the Hokage mountain instead of coming to class. Iruka had literally only enough time to start the first few moments of class, namely take attendance, before he had forced to rush away and chase down Naruto alongside the other Senseis. 'At least I could pet her while I studied.'

The image of her cat, her beloved Mio, filled Naomi's head as she considered seeing her. Of course Mio was more then a mere cat, she was her familiar and partner. One day she would be battle ready damn it!

'Hehe, a battle cat... that's funny. I wonder if putting my chakra into her body when I pet her will actually help her.' She turned to Kiba, knowing that even if he wasn't in class Akamaru was a perfect example of what she was trying to accomplish. Naturally she had gotten the idea after overhearing Kiba bragging about his familiar and partner, it seemed ingenious, even if Cats weren't as smart as dogs they had great senses and sharp claws. She had seen the damage a rabid cat could do. They were great hunters. 'Maybe I could ask his mother about how to get Mio smart enough to communicate with... of course knowing my luck it has to do with breeding and bloodlines... I hope my idea to pump chakra into her body will actually work. It's all I can think about doing, chakra is our life blood and the source of my powers so why wouldn't it have some kind of effect on my cat.'

Sighing, she turned back to her book, the words blurring together, her head aching ever so much.

'I have been studying for three hours every day after sundown just to pass this stupid test, any more and my eyes my explode.' It was frustrating, waiting for the damned test to begin. She had no choice but to be patient, no matter how frustrating it was for her. 'It's not like I can skip it, if I want to be known and seen and to form my own clan I need to graduate so that means taking this stupid test.'

Shifting her focus, she turned to her classmates, making mental notes on just who she thought would graduate.

'Hinata is a Hyuuga with great taijutsu, but she is so damn shy she is never going to amount to much. Not to mention she is just as much a fangirl as Sakura or Ino is, just with Naruto. Creepy little stalker that she is... speaking of stalker, There is Ino who is probably the best girl here even if my Taijutsu is way above hers and I am pretty sure my throwing skills are rivaled by only Sasuke. Who am I kidding, Sasuke's better at that and Taijutsu but I do know my test scores will be better then his. His transformation is solid and his substitution is flawless, but no better then mine. I work harder then everyone here except Sasuke, but he's got a big reason to be great and everyone says he's a genius. I doubt that but still, he's good.

Kiba's taijutsu is great too, he's really fast and pretty strong but he's also really sloppy and he's lazy in terms of academics. I don't seem him doing well on the written test, but he should easily pass on the throwing weapons and taijutsu... but I know I can beat him. It won't be easy but I am sure I can do it. Thankfully I don't have to, what with my test being against a sensei not each other, I am not with my low chakra levels that I could handle the jutsu portion after fighting someone like Kiba or Sasuke. Their both brutal and powerful and would do too much damage for me to handle the jutsu.

I wonder how Sakura will do? She's smart and her jutsu is flawless, her throwing skills are above average but her stamina and endurance are low. I cannot see her doing well physically. She is on a diet like Ino, which will make it harder for both of them to graduate. Their bodies and chakra cannot sustain themselves when they barely eat enough to put on the weight needed to gain muscle. Still where as Ino is overall pretty skilled, Sakura just isn't... it will be fun to watch those idiots attempt to graduate. I hope I am not on their team...

Actually speaking of that, I cannot see anyone in here being good to be on a team with except maybe Shino. I mean we've hung out a few times, sharing lunch when we don't want to be around others so I know he's not that bad. His taijutsu is pretty good and the history books say his clan is good with their beetles so he would be a great long range fighter. He's also not annoying like everyone else, which is a perk.

Sigh... knowing my luck my teammates are going to be clan ninja meaning they'll get the attention, praise and assumptions of genius all of the heirs have gotten since we came to the academy. Just my luck to end up in a class with all of the heirs... '

The door slammed open, shattering her thoughts entirely as Naruto was literally thrown into the room gracelessly by a very peeved Iruka. Naruto was tied up and squirming while he struggled to get out of them.

"I'm at the end of my rope, Naruto. You failed the graduation test last time, and the time before that. Tomorrow you've got another chance, and you're messing up again!" Naturally instead of listening to Iruka, Naruto the idiot hmphed and turned away. Iruka, angry, points at the class. "Fine! Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the Transformation Jutsu!"

The entire class groaned, even Naomi, and they all glared at Naruto. Within minutes they were all lined up, waiting for their turn to showcase their skills.

Sakura Haruno was up first, naturally.

She pumped herself up. "Alright, Sakura here. Let's do it. Transform!" Smoke comes up around her, then disappears, revealing her transformation into Iruka. It was a pretty good job, flawless in fact. Naomi was personally impressed.

And so apparently was Iruka. "Transformed into me. Good."

After transforming back, Sakura pumped her fist into the air and walked over by Sasuke, who clearly gave two shits about the entire event. "Yes! I did it! Yes! "Sasuke, did you see that?"

"Next. Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke stepped forward then transforms into Iruka without direction or warning. He needed no words, just as surge of chakra to complete his transformation, due to his sheer skill.

Looking up from his clip board, Iruka blinked at him in confusion. " Uh, good."

Sasuke transforms back, then walks off.

"Next is Naomi."

Walking in front of him, Naomi focused her mind on the familiar form of the Hokage, who they had all seen several times over the years. His slightly hunched back, the ugly white robes, the stupid hat, even the pipe he had while he spewed gross smoke everywhere. With her hands in position, she focused her energy and without a word, she transformed. She felt her chakra and the smoke rise around her as her form shifted, taking on the image of the Hokage.

Iruka smiled. "You turned into someone you couldn't see, very nice Naomi." With a very slight smirk, she released the jutsu and walked back to her seat. Just in time to hear Iruka. "Next. Naruto Uzumaki.

She turned back, looking at the idiot who forced the needless exercise. Naruto was just standing there with his arms crossed, not happy even though it was all his fault. On either side of him was Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka, two equally spoiled people really just in different ways.

Shikamaru bit out. "This is a total waste of time, Naruto."

Ino agreed. "We always pay for your screw up!"

Naruto didn't so much as react as he said. "Like I care." Before stepping forward and putting his hands together. "Transform!" (Smoke goes up around Naruto, then goes down a little, revealing a naked girl, the smoke covering certain spots, blowing a kiss.

Iruka, baffled and stunned, was knocked back. "Huh!?"

Naruto transforms back, laughing and pointing at Iruka "Gotcha! That's my Sexy Jutsu!"

Iruka was done with his crap. "Cut the stupid tricks! This is your last warning!"

"What an idiot... still that could be used on some guys and gals, so it isn't totally useless as a shock technique." Rolling her eyes, Naomi turned her attention back to her books and continued to study. She had only so much time left and she would not fail here and now.

'""

"Ninety eight, Ninety Nine... One hundred." Her arms ached as she recoiled from the tree she was punching, satisfied with the deep cracks in the bark. "I'm getting stronger." Turning on heel she dropped into a low squat, using the tree in case she tipped back and lost her form. She held it for sixty seconds before unleashing high kicks into the air, moving through her katas as she had been taught.

This lasted for an hour, with her stopping just as the sun started to set.

" I have to get home... I need my rest for tomorrow. I can't be too exhausted to pass my test, so I guess it's nights out early..."

Sighing, she hurried home, once again taking the rooftops as soon as she was able to in order to avoid the common folk. She wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone else to be honest. She had to remain focused, singularly focused, hopefully that would allow to pass this damn test.

She reached her home in minutes, and was greeted by her sweet little Mio. Mio was a sweet cat, very affectionate and comforting, about four pounds and still only a kitten. Her fur was a orangish brown except for a white spot on her chest and a ring around the upper third of her tail. She was a thin, beautiful baby and Naomi loved her dearly.

"Hello Miss Mio." Lifting her up, she began to her pet her beloved friends, using the same skill as the Leaf sticking exercise push some of her chakra into Mio's body. She wasn't sure if it meant anything, maybe she was wasting her time, but she enjoyed it and Mio seemed to really like it. She got fidgety without those chakra enhanced pets sometimes. "How was your day, baby girl?"

Carrying the now meowing cat, she moved into her bedroom and stripped down so she could shower. Within minutes she was out and making dinner for herself, Miss Mio curled on her lap as she ate her meal of rice, broccoli and a few sweet dumplings as a treat for working so hard. Happily she dug in, making conversation with her pretty kitty the entire time.

"So Naruto caused the class to have to go over the transformation jutsu again. I mean I liked the practice, but holy crap does he ruin everything he touches or what? Like seriously he had no concern for anyone but himself, it's kind of sad actually. I mean he never seems to care or learn, why is he even bothering being a Ninja if he cares for no one. Sigh... still at least I am going to graduate and he is going to fail again like deserves. Only prodigies, hard workers and clan kids will pass and I will be damned if I am not one of those."

Miss Mio showed her agreement with an increase in purring, bunting into Naomi's hands a few times.

"I am glad you agree, now I need to get to bed so come on. My brain is all fuzzy from studying all day, I need the break."

And with that, Naomi washed her dishes and went to bed with Miss Mio curled up at her side.

'Tomorrow is where it all begins... I can do this... I will do this... tomorrow I will pass... tomorrow I will start on the path to making my dreams a reality.'

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

Should her methods really make her cat start to become smarter so she can help in battle? Should I use a jutsu instead, or should it be a dead end. This is important people... like entire series level important.

Any thoughts on her limitations would be welcome as well...

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
