A/N - Okay, we are going to do a one year time Skip with some flashbacks to reveal Naruto's training.
Standing before Hiruzen Sarutobi, Naruto Mitarashi, the six year old boy that Anko adopted two years prior. He had recently finished his one year of training inside the Forest of death with his adoptive mother.
"So, how did it go?" Hiruzen asked both Mitarashi family members that were standing in front of him.
"She is a Slave driver and I think her training falls under child abuse." Naruto said with an annoyed expression.
"Oh come on Gaki, it wasn't that bad was it?" Anko asked in a playful hurt tone.
"No, not really. Though, having snakes nearly attack me in my sleep wasn't what I had in mind." Naruto said as he let out a small smirk.
"In real life, you never know when you'll be attacked. You must always be on guard." Anko said.
Hiruzen smiled with pride. "I see. Naruto, are you planning to enroll into the ninja academy next month?" Hiruzen asked the blond boy in front of him.
"Yes. I will attend and graduate. After a year passss during my time of a genin, I do plan on retiring to open up my weapons shop." Naruto said.
Hiruzen nodded. "That's fine. If you don't mind Naruto, I'd like to speak with Anko." Hiruzen said and Naruto nodded before holding his hand out.
"Ramen?" Naruto asked and after a small chickle, Anko handed her son some money. Without any warning, Naruto vanished in a shun shin.
"I'd like a full report." Hiruzen said in a calm tone.
"Yes Lord Hokage. Originally, when I tested Naruto, he showed excellent promise and could easily compete with most middle class men at the academy and maybe some seniors. He showed great promise in all areas but Fuinjutsu is where he shinned and stood out the most. His chakra reserves probably surpass everyone in this villages, including yours." Anko said.
"Okay, what kind of training did you do with him?" Hiruzen asked as he folded his hands.
Anko let out a sheepish laugh. "Well, we originally planned to have him dedicate the first six months to conditioning and chakra control." Anko explained.
Flash Back
"Alright Gaki, the biggest problem that Shinobi have are skipping the basics. Lord first, second, and third always believed in mastering the basics. This is what will build your foundation." Anko explained.
"Yes Anko sensei." Naruto responded.
"Okay, so we are going to work on your strength, speed, stamina, durability, and senses along with some chakra control." Anko declared. She immediately went through a series of hand seals and placed a chakra seal on Naruto.
"What's this?" Naruto asked as his body was feeling weird.
"This is a chakra seal. It's restricts your movement and forced you to use a higher amount of chakra than what you normally would use. For people like yourself, this will help controlling your chakra. The more chakra you have to put in to use, the lower your reserves will be and will allow you to do some of the easiest exercises with less difficulties. To start, I want you to run toward the tower and back at full speed fifteen times." Anko ordered.
"How will I make it back? I mean, their aren't many landmarks." Naruto said as he looked around.
"Focus on my chakra. This will help heighten your senses. Though, I won't always have my chakra flared. Part of this training is survival." Anko explained before throwing a kunai which made Naruto take off in a run.

"So, he did the laps and to my surprise, he didn't stop until he was finished." Anko explained.
"I believe the Uzumaki clan was known for their god-like stamina. If I recall, Lord Second told me that the average Uzumaki could fight for three days without resting." Hiruzen said which surprised Anko.
"I believe it. After seeing how much energy he had left over, I kept trying to create new and interesting training methods. We even tried tree climbing and water walking while trying to dodge my snakes and kunai." Anko said.
Flash Back
"What are we going to do next?" Naruto asked his mother eagerly.
"Slow down Naruto. How much energy do you have? I've never seen anything like it." Anko commented. Naruto gave a sheepish laugh. "Alright, let's do some chakra control exercises. While many sensei's like to have their students learn the basics of it and go step by step, that's not how the real world is." Anko explained.
"Okay? So how are we going to train the control on my chakra?" Naruto asked.
"It's actually really simple. I'm going to summon my snakes and throw kunai at you. This will force you to keep a leveled head while controlling your chakra along with running up and down the trees. I'll explain to you the process and we will move from there." Anko said.
Naruto nodded and after Anko explained and showed him how to climb up a tree, she began her assault. Which shocked her the most was how quickly and easily Naruto was able to perform the exercise. After three hours of training, Anko decided it was time for water walking.
"Walking in water is like an advanced style of tree climbing. Instead of walking on a constant flat surface, you need to control your chakra to constantly maintain a balance or else you'll sink." Anko explained.
"Do you think you could show me?" Naruto asked but instead of an answer, he got a laugh.
"Sorry Gaki, I can't hold your hand on everything. Sometimes you need to figure things out for yourself." Anko explained.
Flashback ended
"I see. So did he get the hang of it?" Asked Hiruzen.
"In only three hours, he was ready for my assault. Naruto is every bit of his parents if not more. Truthfully, I wouldn't even make him enroll into the academy." Anko declared while crossing her arms.
"If you had to scale Naruro's level, where would he be at?" Hiruzen asked.
"His Taijutsu and ninjutsu are easily mid chunin, his speed is jonin level with his stamina and chakra reserves being a kage's level. His kenjutsu and Fuinjutsu are unable to be judged due to my lack of knowledge on them. He could probably take the chunin exams and perform well." Anko declared with pride.
The Hokage looked at her with an unreadable expression. "I can't make him skip the academy... However, I might be able to pull some strings for him." Hiruzen silently thought. "Okay, next month, he'll enroll into the academy." Hiruzen declared.
"Lord Third, I would like to request a special accommodation for Naruto." Anko said as she stood straight. "I do believe that because of Naruro's special situation, many of the teachers will hold ill feelings toward him. Not to mention, being in association with me. I think it would be best for a private instructor." Anko said.
"I know what you mean. However, I think we should hold tight and wait to see how things play out for Naruto. Their is a possible chance that he may be able to live a normal life. I'm aware that the Inuzuka boy along Shikaku and Inoichi's kids will be attending as well. I think we should see how Naruto fits in with the other children." Hiruzen suggested.
Naruto was currently in his twenty-fourth bowl. Going an entire year without ramen, Naruto was determined to make up for lost time. Tuchi and Ayame, the owners of the ramen shop were happy to see their number one customer return.
"I can't believe you survived an entire year inside that forest." Ayame said as she hugged her little brother tightly.
"It wasn't that bad. I mean, mom is one hundred times scarier than any monster in that forest." Naruto declared with a laugh.
"Oh yeah?" Said a familiar laugh which made Naruto lower his head.
"I was just kidding, mom." Naruto said.
Anko put her arms around Naruto. "Oh my little Naruto, you are still but a young grasshopper looking to surpass the master." Anko declared.
Naruto let out a sigh of annoyance. "I swear, you're impossible sometimes." Naruto said while cracking a small smile.
Naruto and Anko returned to their studio apartment. While the survival training was over, Anko had used the remaining days to educate and hammer everything into her son's head. It wasn't long before Naruto approached the doors at the ninja academy.
"So, I guess I'll see what the world of a Shinobi is like." Naruto mentally thought as he entered the empty classroom. "Guess I'm early." Naruto thought as he found himself a seat toward the window.
Twenty minutes passed before the instructor, a man with a ponytail and a massive scar across his face, entered. "Excuse me, who are you?" Asked the man.
Naruto stood up and gave a bow. "My name is Naruto Mitarashi. I'm a new student at the ninja academy." Naruto said.
"So that's him?" Oruka silently asked himself. "Whatever, just make sure to pay attention and not disrupt my class. I have no time for idiots." The man said while walking to his desk.
"I'm sorry sensei, but I didn't get your name." Naruto said but found the instructor completely ignored him.
Rolling his eyes and not dwelling on the sensei's attitude, Naruto waited and soon, Kiba, along with a few others came into the room. "Hey Kiba!" Naruto called out but to his surprise, Kiba ignored him.
"That's strange..." Naruto thought before standing up and walking over to his friend. "Hey Kiba. It's been awhile." Naruto said.
"What do you want? Why are you even talking to me?" Kiba asked.
This threw Naruto off completely. Trying to figure out why his best friend was acting strange, Naruto ignored it and sat in his chair. Soon, Shikamaru entered along with a chubby kid who was eating chips, Choji Akimichi. Naruto and him weren't really friends though Naruto had no issues with the boy.
Entering the classroom, a kid with black hair, a blue shirt and white pants that had a smug attitude entered the class. Suddenly, all the girls began calling out to him. This annoyed Naruto as he sighed. What shocked and spooked everyone were the two girls that were nearly killing each other to enter the classroom for a chance to sit next to the boy.
Naruto watched win amusement as they fought with their all to have a seat next to Sasuke. However, one of the girls took the seat which prevented ether girl from sitting next to him. The pink haired girl, Sakura Haruno, took the seat in the back while Ino ended up sitting next to Naruto.
"Hey Ino." Naruto said.
The blond haired girl looked at Naruto with a glare. "Don't talk to me. Just because I'm sitting next to you, it doesn't mean that I'm your friend." Ino said and turned away.
Naruto sat there, dumbstruck at how his two friends were being towards him. Deciding to shrug it off, Naruto sat quietly as the class began speaking
After class, Naruto went home where Anko was cooking up some ramen and Dango to celebrate Naruro's first day at the academy. "Hey Gaki, how was your first day?" Anko asked.
"Weird. Both Kiba and Ino had stick shoved up their ass today." Naruto said while putting his bag down and taking his shoes off.
"I hope you are using a figure of speech." Anko said to her blond haired son.
"Yeah mom, I shoved a massive stick up both Ino and Kiba's ass and neither of their parents said anything." Naruto said with annoyance in his voice.
"I'm sure they will come around. I mean, it's only the first day. You're bound to make some more friends." Anko said.
Naruto nodded with a smile. "You're right. I'm going to make friends." Naruto said.
However, over the next few weeks at the academy, Naruto noticed that the hostile attitude wasn't in just his two friends and instructors. During lunch break, many of the shops refused to serve Naruto. It was as if he was a demon that hurt them or someone they cared about.
"Whatever! I don't need any of you!" Naruto declared as he returned back to school but found out he had been locked out of the classroom for being one minute late. This annoyed the boy.
When the class went outside, Naruto was able to join them. They were working on weapon throwing with kunai and Shuriken. While waiting for his turn, Naruto received a few taunts from Sasuke and Kiba for him being a clan-less loser. Naruto ignored them but deep down, he growled.
When it was Naruto's turn, he noticed all the annoyed faces. Not understanding why, he decided he would try to make everyone laugh. Naruto took all ten Shuriken and kunai and throw them at the targets. Not a single one landed.
"Naruto! You're an idiot!" Shouted the instructor, Iruka.
"Whatever! Who cares about this stuff?" Naruto asked.
Many of the students began laughing and though it was towards Naruto, he was just glad that they weren't ignoring him. The same thing happened over the next few weeks, Naruto would act like a fool and enrage Iruka while the class would burst out into laughter. Even Anko found some his antics to be amusing.
One day, after being in the academy for two and a half months, Naruto had been walking home where he was attacked by a strange ninja in a mask. Having used Anko's training, he was able to evade and block the attacks that came for him.
"Who are you and why are you attacking me?" Naruto asked as he drew out the three prong kunai to defend himself.
The attacker ignored his question and charged at him. Having draw their own kunai, the attacker and Naruto entered a slight clash until the ninja appeared behind him and cut the boy across his back.
Naruto let out a scream but knew that crying wouldn't solve anything. Naruto proceeded to go through a series of hand seals and released his wind release - great breakthrough. However, the attacker countered with the Fire release - Fire dragon jutsu. The wind boosted the fire jutsu and had heavily damaged Naruto.
Before the attacker could charge forward, Naruto had picked himself back up and charged back. Having drawn his Crimson Serpent blade, Naruto had been able to clash against the attacker while maintaining his own. "Not bad demon." said the attacker before vanishing and appearing behind him with a kick to his back.
"Why are you attacking me?" Naruto asked as he stood up.
"It's time for vengeance. Don't you understand that it was you who attacked the village and took many innocent lives?" Asked the attacker.
"I never attacked or hurt anyone! Why would you think that I did such a thing?" Naruto asked as tears fell down his cheeks.
"Haha! Isn't it obvious? You're the Nine Tailed Fox! You were born on the day of Kyuubi's attack and your father, Minato Namikaze, sealed the demon inside of you. You are the reincarnation of the nine tailed fox!" The attacker shouted.
Naruto's eyes open wide at what he heard. Not wanting to believe what he was told, Naruto's eyes were filled with tears. "No... You're lying!" Naruto shouted as his eyes turned from their cerulean blue into a murderous crimson.
"My point exactly. Look at you, you're using demonic chakra." The attacker declared.
Naruto's body began to change. His whisker marks became darker while his ears became sharper along with his fangs and claws being formed. A burst of crimson chakra formed around his body and a burst of crimson chakra formed a tail in the back of him.
Naruto was letting off a roar that was heard through out the entire village of Konoha. Many of the Shinobi and villagers came out to see the commotion and where frightened at the sight of Naruto. Having dispatched his Anbu, Hiruzen ordered them to subdue and not kill Naruto.
As the Anbu charged at Naruto, he sensed their chakra and before they am could strike, their bodies were ripped in half by Naruto's claws. He continued letting out roars as the ninja continues their attack. Naruto was showing no signs of mercy and had even took on the offense.
It wasn't until Anko Mitarashi appeared to see her son going berserk. She called out to him and to everyone's surprise, he calmed down and passed out. Deciding to end this chaos, Hiruzen, a group of his Anbu, Inoichi, Ibiki, and Anko vanished along with the attacker who was subdued.
They appeared underground in a former chamber that prisoners of war were placed under trial. Before anyone said anything, the masked attacker had their mask removed and was revealed to be Iruka Umino. Nobody could believe what they were seeing.
"Iruka? Why are you doing this?" Hiruzen asked as he couldn't believe the boy he trusted to instruct the academy would do such a thing.
"He killed my parents, your wife! How can you let him remain in the village?" Iruka shouted as he tried to attack Naruto.
Anko got in the way and managed to take him down. The killing intent that was leaking from her had reached levels that would make Orochimaru shudder.
"Anko! Stand down!" Hiruzen shouted but to his and everyone's surprise, Naruroncharged and killed Iruka in cold blood with his sword that Yugao purchased for him.
Silence took over the room, Naruto proceeded to sit down on one of the desk that a council member would sit at. The horror from seeing Naruto with any emotion or remorse for his actions had frightened everyone.
"Inoichi, I want you to view his mind." Hiruzen ordered.
"Hold on, what the hell makes you need to enter his mind like he's some criminal? That bastard attacked him and not only broke the law, I'm pretty sure he broke Naruto!" Anko shouted.
Hiruzen took a moment to settle down and after calming his nerves, he spoke in a calm tone. "Anko, due to Iruka being killed, Naruto's mind is the only one we can view to understand exactly what happens." Hiruzen explained.
"It's fine. Let them take a look." Naruto said in an emotionless tone. Naruto have a nod to his mother who agreed.
Inoichi walked over to the boy and when he entered the black void, the events that took place were revealed along with learning about Naruto's passed. The Yamanaka clan head was disgusted with how the young boy was treated. When he returned, himself, Hiruzen, am Anbu for the Hokage's protection, and Anko went into a separate room while Ibiki remained in the chambers with Naruto.
"What did you see?" Hiruzen asked Inoichi.
"He was attacked and completely provoked. However, that isn't the reason I called you ll here to talk." Inoichi said.
The tension in the room was high from what transpired this evening. Anko feared her son would be executed, especially once the council got wind of everything. The masked Anbu, felt sad for the boy due to believing he was given a fate that decided his life for him.
"I believe Naruto Mitarashi should be removed from the ninja core." Inoichi said.
"What? My son is attacked and he defended himself, so he get's removed from the ninja core?" Anko asked with her killing intent being leaked.
"I agree with Anko. Do you really believe this is the best idea?" Hiruzen asked as his sadness was clearly visible.
"Yes, I believe Naruto Mitarashi should be executed. However, I do have a suggestion that would benefit all of us." Inoichi said.
This caught everyone's attention. "What are you suggesting?" Hiruzen asked.
"We know the council will demand for his execution or at least life in prison. Not to mention, even if he was let off, I saw what happened in the last months of his time during the academy along with his childhood. I do believe he wouldn't survive. What I'm suggesting is we kill Naruto but give birth to a new Shinobi." Inoichi said.
"Please explain further." Hiruzen said as he took a seat.
"If we erase everything that involves Naruto and create a new person without any connection to Naruto, he would not only be allowed to live a peaceful life along with not being separated from his mother, but also provide excellent service to the village." Inoichi explained.
While the idea was strange, neither Hiruzen or Anko could disagree with it being something that works. A few moments of silence passed before it was agreed upon by Anko.
"I don't like it... However, I refuse to lose my son over the ignorance of the village." Anko said.
"Why don't you place him under my care jn the Anbu Black Ops?" Asked the purple haired woman in a mask.
"I don't think the Anbu would be a great fit." Said Inoichi.
"Ank, I need your honest and non biased opinion. You spent an entire year inside the forest of death and trained him. I need to know, where do Naruto's abilities lie?" Asked Hiruzen.
Anko remained silent as she thought about what was said. After giving a sigh, Abko spoke. "Naruto, when going all out, can rival me in combat. Not to mention, his skilled level in ninjutsu and creativity in Fuinjutsu. I do believe placing Naruto inside the Anbu Black Ops will be the only way he can properly serve our village without bias." Anko said.
After the discussion ended, Anko, Naruto, Hiruzen, Ibiki, Inoichi, and Yugao had exited the chambers to announce the death of Naruto Mitarashi along with the secret birth of Fox Kitsune.
