Jays Arrayan: Mmm… I haven't really thought much about the pairings yet. Hopefully, there will be some later on in the story; but I don't know how good I'll be at the love scenes xP.
NinofChaos: Yah, sry 'bout that… You see, I started off as third POV, but then I realized that I couldn't put in the character's thoughts. (Bangs head with a book) Anyways, because of your review, I decided to make this story all in Naru's POV. Hopefully that helps! -
Shadow-Sensei: Ya, I'm pretty sure Kyuubi's a guy too xP, but I wanted to add a little twist to the story. -
Also thx to:
Fei-sama: for being my first reviewer. -
And
Toki Mirage: for saying pretty good stuff 'bout my story, and just for having a cool name. -;
Chpt 2:
Naruto's POV:
I couldn't help but let out a loud sigh. It's been five years already, today was the day I had to travel back to my… "home."
I've changed a lot since then; my hair grew longer, my front bangs went below my eyes now (think Dark from DN Angel) and turned a darker color. I've got violet eyes and red highlights in my hair; showing off my merge with Kyuubi. I've gotten taller too, and leaner. My muscles were more visible, and perfectly massed. I've gain four more tails (he has five now); standing for my power over ice, fire, lightning, earth, and my connection with animals. I've gained fangs and claws, but it probably wasn't too unique. I've heard the Inuzaka (sp?) clan had them too. My clothes stayed the same from before, just slightly bigger (I mean the clothes he had when he transformed.)
I've gotten stronger under Kyuubi's tutelage. I've met this guy named Itachi during my travels; it seems that he was forced to flee from the village when he wiped out his clan. I can't blame him though; I knew how it felt to hate a certain group of people. I still couldn't forgive the villagers for their actions towards me. Itachi and I sparred a few times; I've even managed to beat him once or twice. I thought of him as the brother I never had. We had to go our own ways later on though, but we still keep in touch through messenger birds.
The Konaha gates finally came into view. "Home sweet home," huh? I slowed down to walking speed and greeted the two guards with a mocking wave.
"Oy, I've come back from a prolonged mission, the Hokage should be expecting me." I said, tapping my foot impatiently.
The guards studied me for awhile before one of them asked, "Your pass?"
I mentally slapped myself in the head.
"Dimwit… What in God's name did I do to deserve such an idiotic vessel such as you?"
'Shut it Kyuubi' I growled, growing more irritated by the second.
It took me awhile to figure out why the guards were looking at me so strangely. 'Oh yah, the village's pass.' While handing the guards my pass, I dimly felt Kyuubi banging her head against the cage.
When checking my I.D., their attitude instantly turned hostile. 'Figures, all of the villagers are simple-minded,' I thought; shaking my head in disgust.
Reluctantly, the guards opened the gates and cheerfully bade me off with colorful curses. I already regretted my return to Konaha.
Reached Konaha. Check
Held back on killing the guards. Check.
Contained myself from assassinating the villagers. Check.
'Sooo… what am I forgetting Kyu?'
"… Did you tell the Hokage about your return?"
'Oh yah… Thx. So what do you think will happen now?'
"Obviously, you'll take the genin exam. You're twelve now, if you hadn't noticed."
'Of course I did!' I huffed.
Yawning, I casually started heading towards the Hokage's office; pretending not to notice the heated glares from the adults, and lustful looks from the girls.
"Seems you're quite a looker, Kit" I could practically feel Kyuubi's amusement.
'Shuddup…'
Having enough of stupid guards for the day, I decided to take an easier path towards the Hokage's − through the window.
Glancing about, I noticed the Hokage sleeping on top of a mountain of paperwork. (Da ja vu?) Deciding to take a few pictures for blackmail, I took out a camera (which was mysteriously in his pocket -;) and snapped a few pictures.
Waking up due to the flash, the Hokage instantly glanced around, hoping no one saw him sleeping on the job.
"Oy, Old Man! I'm here!" I said, jumping in front of the shocked Hokage.
Having the grace to look sheepish, the old man asked, "Sooo… Naruto, it's already been five years?"
"No duh…" I replied, rolling my eyes. Why would I bother coming early anyways? "So Old Man, what, are you going to wait until I'm a hundred to let me become Genin?"
"Oh yah," the Hokage grinned awkwardly. "The test should be starting right about now. Hand these over to the teacher in room 203 (It's a random number) and you'll be able to take the final exam. I trust you're strong enough to pass with ease?" The Hokage asked, handing me the scroll.
"What did you think? That I'll spend the last five years sitting on the forest floor munching on chips and staring at bugs passing by for entertainment?" I growled, ticked off with him for underestimating me.
Grinning at me, he dismissed me with a wave of his hand. "Don't be late!"
Finding the classroom with ease, I nonchalantly walked in.
"Kit… the girls are drooling and swooning," Kyuubi informed me, grinning.
I turned around, and sure enough, some of the girls were about to drown in their own saliva. 'It's disgusting,' I thought; holding back a snort.
Glancing around the classroom, I noticed that all the girls were cut in half. Half were staring at me, and the others surrounded an arrogant-looking kid with black hair and onyx colored eyes (guess who? xP). 'Doesn't he look kinda like Itachi, Kyuubi? Well… besides that this guy has no dangerous aura, and seems like a spoiled brat? (Sorry, 'Suke fans!)'
"Itachi mentioned that he spared his younger brother when he wiped out the clan brat."
'Oh ya… thx.'
Handing the scroll to my new sensei, I just stood there awkwardly, waiting for him to introduce me to the class.
"Alright class, we have a new student. Uzumaki Naruto!"
Turning to the class, I gave a nervous smile.
"Kit... Why is it that every time you meet someone for the first time, you act like a spineless idiot?"
'Shut it Furball, I'm just not used to being around people my age' I huffed.
Turning back to the people in front of me, I said, "Oy, mess with me, and I'll kick your ass in!"
"Great way to make friends…"
'Who said I was trying to?" I bristled, 'I get along fine on my own.'
"Right kit… What are you going to do when I'm gone?"
'But you can't disappear! When I fused with you, you were still in my mind.'
"That was different kit. You gained my power because your life was threatened; when you get older, our souls will combine, and you'll gain my knowledge as well."
'Why didn't you tell me sooner?'
"It never came up kit, but know this, I'll always remain a part of you. Now pay more attention to your sensei; everyone's looking at you funny."
Everyone was looking at me weird. Did I grow an extra head or something without noticing? "Um… yes?" I asked awkwardly.
Giving me an exasperated look, sensei said, "Make three perfect bunshins."
I mentally rolled my eyes, this is how they determine if you graduate? Piece of cake. I smirked confidently and made three bunshins without any hand seals; ignoring all the opened mouths and wide-eyed stares.
"Umm… here's your forehead protector," Sensei said, handing me one with the Konaha's symbol on it.
"Thanks sensei!"
"It's Iruka."
The next day, I headed back to the ninja academy to find out who my new teammates and Jounin instructor are. 'So who do you think I'll get for teammates Kyu?'
"Well, the teams probably will be evened out. Since you just came, you'll be labeled as 'dead last.' Therefore, you'll have the highest and most average leveled genin."
'I guess that makes sense. I'll be happy if I just don't get that Uchiha brat. I swear, he's a disgrace to his whole clan. Hopefully, I won't get any fan girls either.'
"Team seven: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke!
'Oh shit…'
AN: Sooooooo… how doya like it? Review please! Constructive criticism welcome!
