Okay before we get started I don't own Naruto

Okay for the reviewers

I'm going to try and make them a lot longer but it'll take a while to update

I know he seems really strong but I was making him upper chunninn level, so he will have trouble with enemies in further chapters and I have no idea how to deal with the popularity thing

Suggestions would help

Thank you everyone

Now on with the story

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When Naruto slid the door to room one back he went so pale that shino was debating whether or not he had died. Then all of a sudden a loud shout echoed throughout the halls of the ninja academy.

"ANKO!" Naruto slid down to the floor praying for death. 'She's going to kill me; she's at least twenty times worse than Kakashi could ever be. And he was raised by the open pervert all his life. "Hello Naruto-kun"

"I'm going to kill Iruka!" Naruto shouted

"Oh still have that anger problem I see, you know it's bad for you to have." Anko said in an overly sweet voice.

"Don't you remember what happened last time you lost your temper?" Anko asked Naruto looked at her with a look of fear that she would say it out loud. 'She wouldn't tell anyone that the kyubbi wasn't completely absorbed would she?' "Yes I remember the fur ball rampaged through half of konoha and killed one hundred and fifty six civilians and three anbu members."

Anko looked at him in surprise "you know if that got out every relative of those people would try and kill you. Right?"

"Yeah I know"

"Let's just pray that that never happens." He stated quietly.

Anko glanced past Naruto at the boy who hadn't moved at all since the door opened and the very confused looking blonde girl who was staring at the blonde boy sitting on the floor.

"Hello you two I am Mitarashi Anko. Nice to meet you I will be your jounin instructor." She said with the same overly sweet voice as before. (Yeah I know she's not jounin but just go with it)

"I am Aburame Shino nice to meet you Anko-sensei." Shino said in that monotonous voice of his. "And I am Yamanaka Ino." Ino said with a happy expression.

"Our first order of business is to do the real test to see if your worthy of becoming shinobis of the hidden leaf." All three genin looked at her with interest "tomorrow morning at seven thirty meet me at area number forty-four." She finished as she burst into smoke and was gone.

"She made the forest of death our meeting point?" ino asked

"Yeah that's how she is, she loves danger." Naruto stated with a look of dread written on his face.

Shino nodded to his team mates then left the room. Naruto looked at ino for a second then said his goodbyes and left. Ino left a few seconds later.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The next morning.

Naruto arrived at gate number one of the forest of death, to find that he was first to arrive. He didn't have to wait long though as Anko jumped into view carrying some dango with her. "Hiya Naruto!" she said louder than needed. "Hi" Naruto returned "so what are we doing for our 'real' test?" he questioned "well you'll just have to wait for your team mates to arrive now wont you?" Anko stated knowing that Naruto had no patients what so ever.

"Fine ill wait then" he said as he sat down in a cross-legged position with his arms crossed across his chest pouting under a small tree.

About twenty minutes later ino was seen walking with shino to the training ground gates.

Ino walked over to Naruto immediately and gave him a hug and asked "so are we going to go out after the test?"

Naruto looked at her smiling face and smiled back if not brighter. "Of course we will"

"ok as usual to all genin hopefuls there is a preliminary test, which is the academy test, then there is another test to see who becomes genin." Anko stated looking at the genin to see their reactions, two unemotional stares and a dumb expression from the kunouchi of the group was what met her gaze.

"You three will be required to survive in this forest for one entire week; I will be in the tower, which if you three pass will be our team meeting point from now on. Under no circumstances may you help your team mates during the one week."

"Get ready to go all you will be aloud to take with you is the cloths and weapons on you."

Naruto smiled and thought about the assignment given. 'This has to be a team work assignment, why else specifically tell us not to help each other?'

"Are all of you ready?" after receiving three nods she pulled the lever and the gate opened.

Three blurs streaked into the forest and disappeared into the foliage.

Naruto quickly turned and ran toward shino and caught up to the bug user.

"Hey this is a team work test." Shino nodded and sent his bugs to get ino, who was carried into the clearing screaming by a horde of bugs.

"SHINO DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" ino screamed.

Shino nodded and looked to Naruto.

"okay shino this clearing is far enough from the tower and the gate that we should have no problem getting to the tower at the end of the week. ill make shelter, ino set a perimeter and set traps for any giant animals that might be roaming around. Shino look for a source of water and get enough to last a while." Two nods later and Naruto was gathering his chakra he looked towards three trees that were in a relatively triangular pattern and placed his hands on the ground. "Doton: doryuuheki!" the syllables leaving his mouth just before a wave of mud shot out of his mouth and splattered the trees to form a triangular shaped house with a hole on one side big enough to walk through.

"Just as he finished ino walked into the clearing and looked at the shelter. "Well that's pretty good for a cabin." She said giggling a little. Naruto looked around. "Ill be right back." And bounded off into the woods.

As the trees and greenery passed by in a blur Narutos instincts told him to stop. just as he did he noticed that across the clearing there was a small den of wild dogs around eight puppies laid in the den barely able to open there eyes. Next to them was a mother wolf snarling and growling at a larger animal which looked to be a giant lion like animal. The injured body of the wolfs mate lay on the ground.

Naruto took action immediately letting out a mighty roar, which gained the lions attention. Pulling back his fist he landed a punch directly to the lions jaw knocking it flat on its side, grabbing it by the tail he started spinning and flung it high over the trees. Looking at the wolfs he noticed that the male wolf was hurt pretty badly so he kneeled next to it, and concentrated his chakra to his hands, a soft blue glow radiated off of them and onto the wounded animal.

"Don't worry im gonna fix you up nice and good." Naruto said softly to the dog.

-POV change-

Ino walked towards the clearing were she saw Naruto stop and saw something that was heart warming. Naruto healing a wounded dog. She stepped into the clearing quietly and stood against one of the trees watching the moment.

"Ok your all better now, take it easy for a little while" Naruto said with his foxy grin in place.

The male dog got up slowly and checked itself out and walked into the den as if it were looking for something. It soon came out with a large scroll gripped tightly in its jaws.

Ino watched as it spit it out in front of Naruto and started to speak. "for helping protect me and my family I would be honored if you would become a contract holder for the canine family." It said.

-Change POV back-

Naruto looked down at the scroll and bit his thumb signing his name in blood he noticed that most of the names on the list were of the Inuzuka clan and that Hatake Kakashi was on it as well.

"My godfather is on here" he stated to the wolfs.

"It is only natural that one raised by another would resemble them in some way." The wolf stated as it retracted the scroll.

"When you first summon one of the greater dogs to assist you they might be reluctant to help but they respect bravery and strength." The dog said as he walked back to his den. "Good bye for now young child."

Naruto looked around for a second, noticing ino standing against a tree looking on in wonder he decided to respond. "I just signed a summoning contract." He stated bluntly.

"That's great Naruto!" she said in an exited voice. "We should probably get back to the clearing"

"Yeah we probably should" Naruto said over his shoulder as he started to walk away.

Naruto started to sing a song, which he had heard many times from his god father.

"One… two… three… don't blink don't breath… one… two… three… don't lose the beat… were making history." He sang out loud. As he walked and sang he started to let his guard down because of the comforting song. He started to drift off into a sort of trance just as he felt something rap around his torso and something soft press against his back.

"Ino-chan… I feel so warm when im around you. You see me for me, not just some hero who saved the village from a demon." He had stopped walking at this point.

He turned in her embrace and returned it, taking in the sent of her hair.

"Naruto-kun I think im the happiest when im around you."

Naruto smiled, his eyes widened suddenly as he pushed ino away from him and jumped. Just as a giant snake broke through the trees. The giant purple snake stood up vertically as a man jumped onto its head.

"Naruto-kun what a pleasure to finally meet you." The man on the snake said down to the boy on the ground. "Who the hell are you?" Naruto asked in a calm voice. "I am orochimaru the great snake sannin, leader of the hidden village of sound."

"And im here to recruit you to my side."

"Well im not going"

The snake sannin laughed "did you hear me give you a choice?"

The snake suddenly charged at Naruto who rolled to the side at the last second grabbing ino from the ground were she fell and performing seals he slammed his hands onto the ground. "kuchiyose-no-jutsu!" he yelled as lightning flashed around his hands. In a giant cloud of smoke a low growl rumbled through out the forest. "Who dares summon me?" a giant red and black wolf asked. "I did! I need your help to beat that snake guy over there he's a sannin!" "Are you the boy that healed my grandson and protected his family?"

"YES I AM UZUMAKI NARUTO!" Naruto shouted in pride. Naruto could feel a two large chakra signatures approaching. So he decided to just try and stall for a little while.

Just as Naruto was about to perform a jutsu a swarm of bugs flew in and landed atop of the wolf and formed the body of shino.

Ok wolfy-sama do your stuff we'll provide support." Naruto said to the giant wolf. The wolf nodded and charged forward at the snake clawing and biting at it. Shino sent thousands of bugs toward the man atop the snake as Naruto created kage bunshins to attack the man, also ino started the seals for her family jutsu, to get the man while he was distracted.

The bugs crept up the mans legs slowly and then started to explode one after the other. Just as bunshin started to engage the man in taijutsu, ino's jutsu hit and took the mans body over. Seconds later the man forced her back into her own body knocking her unconscious, the man twirled and destroyed all of the bunshins in a matter of seconds and fried the bugs with chakra from his legs.

"I am a sannin do you really believe that you could beat me?"

"no but we did stall you long enough" laughed out Naruto as the two signatures reached the clearing from opposite sides one was there sensei Anko the other a white haired man that Naruto recognized as the man that Kakashi said taught his father.

"Go wolfy-sama take out the snake now, that white haired man is also a sannin but he's a good guy!"

The white haired man started engaging the snake man in taijutsu as Anko used jutsu to support.

"Well Naruto-kun I guess ill have to wait then, but trust me ill be back to get you." The snake sannin said as his summon was destroyed.

"Anko turned to the three of them, congratulations you pass the object was team work and you three got it."

The white haired man turned to Anko. "I would like to help you teach those three, it could help them protect the village from the snake bastard getting his hands on a container."

Anko nodded and walked towards the three.

"Meet tomorrow morning at the tower in the center of the forest for our first real team meeting."

"Dismissed."
