Author's Note: Sorry for the late update been really busy I'm trying to do better with my time just been kind of all over the place and I just got a new computer so I copied over the bits I worked on and won't stop writing till I finish this chapter now that the laptop is all set up! But anyways here you go.
Naruto slept peacefully in his bed having a sweet dream of ramen. But that was soon interrupted by his alarm going off. The boy lazily smashed his clock with his fist before sitting up to stretch/yawn. As soon as he finished he got up and lazily had a clone go make him breakfast while he went to go shower.
Twenty minutes later Naruto got out of the shower to smell pancakes, bacon, and eggs. He quickly got dressed into his usual attire. He missed wearing his old jumpsuit and was happy to have found the same one in the village (the one from shippuden). He ran to the table dispelling his clone that already had a plate of food made that it made for its own self. He happily ate his food before leaving a clone to clean up the mess.
Naruto quickly left and locked his apartment making a clone to go and read up more on seals, even though he was good with seals that was only advanced stuff. He wanted to do things right so he was having the clone go through all the basics to fill in the gaps in his memory that way he could be more proficient than anyone else. Then he went to the rooftops and started to take off towards the academy. It didn't take him too much time to get their even though he was still almost late. The boy didn't care though he loved to take his time because life needed to be worth living so why not take your time and enjoy things. He got to the academy and then walked straight up the wall and climbed in through the window. Sasuke saw him and was surprised to see this but just ignored it. Naruto went and sat next to the boy enjoying the silence the two had and pulled out his copy of "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" and started to read it.
Sasuke noticed Naruto once again reading his book. This no longer surprised the younger Uchiha as Naruto had been reading and re reading this book for a while. Sasuke just turned his head back forward and continued to brood in silence. Even though he wouldn't admit it he was still curious about what that book was about and why the blond boy next to him was so into it. He didn't really understand why Naruto choose to read that book so often and was half tempted to ask to read it sometimes but decided against it. The only reason he asked was because he couldn't find a copy of it anywhere in the village, and wasn't sure if it was really popular or really old. But anyways he liked having Naruto there because he kept quiet and to himself and kept annoying fangirls away from him, and he didn't want to mess that up by angering the boy enough to make him leave. So instead he would just sit in silence until class started and go about his day as normal instead.
Sasuke would never admit it though but he was also happy that Naruto chose to sit next to him because he saw the boy as a rival ever since there fight years ago where Naruto actually beat him. The fight angered him but also made him strive to get even better, he couldn't believe the baka beat him and vowed that it would never happen again if he could help it. Plus Naruto kept to himself, he's never once bothered Sasuke nor even talked to him and he liked it. Naruto, like himself could find peace in the smallest of things like silence. So the two could be together and nothing bad would happen.
Iruka entered the classroom not too long and was surprised to see Naruto their reading his book. "Ok everyone quiet down today is an important day" Iruka started and noticed everyone started to quiet down. Naruto quirked up an eyebrow but just closed his book and placed it in his back pocket and sat quietly listening to his sensei. "Today is the day of the graduation exams, after today we will find out who shall become Genin, who needs another year at the academy, and who need to just go back to civilian life if this isn't cut out for them.." The man said as everyone got excited for the day's events that were soon to start. "First off is the written test" He held out a stack of papers and started to pass them out as Mizuki helped him.
Naruto saw the test and silently chuckled at how easy it was. He quickly wrote down all the right answers before turning the test over and then taking his book back out to read from where he left off. At this point in his story the main character Naruto was saying his belief, "You should give up on trying to make me give up."
The antagonist replied, "Even if you take me down, another assassin will attack the village. As long as we are cursed to live in this world as shinobi, then there cannot be any peace ever!"
Naruto stared down the man and gave him his own answer, "Well… I'm going to break that curse one day. If there is such a thing as peace, than somehow I'm going to find it! And I will never stop looking!" He said as he stared down the unknown ninja in front of him.
The no named assassin looked up at the man and asked, "Who… who are you?"
Naruto smiled and said, "My name is…, Naruto."
Naruto smiled as he read that but he then noticed everyone else was starting to finish up their own tests' so he put the book back up as Iruka started to collect the test. He told mizuki to start grading them as he moved on to the next portion which was genjutsu. Naruto groaned as this was something he knew he would never be good at. Iruka had all the kids get together in a small area before placing a small C rank genjutsu over the class and waited and watched as everyone took their time to get out of it. Naruto wasn't last but was close to it. As soon as everyone got out of the genjutsu Iruka cancelled it and then finished marking everyone's scores down before leading the class back inside. Once inside Iruka had everyone go back to their seats and said, "Now for the ninjutsu portion of the exam, first is the transformation technique, than the kawarmi, and finally the clone jutsu." Iruka said. "We shall start this in alphabetical order so everyone line up starting with last names A-M and then N-Z."
Everyone got in line according to the way Iruka said and the man was surprised because no one had made a fuss today not even Naruto surprisingly. Everyone started off doing the transformation jutsu first like Iruka said and again he just copied down everyone's scores silently as he watched everyone do it one at a time. Next came the Kawarmi and again most everyone did the jutsu with ease and finally the clone jutsu. Naruto obviously failed the clone jutsu since he has never had the control to do it. He was the only one to fail the jutsu, which got him laughed out by the rest of the class.
Iruka sent everyone into the hallway so himself and his assistant Mizuki could grade everyone and then called people in one at a time so people could find out if they passed or failed. After everything was said and done Iruka called Naruto into the classroom. "I'm sorry Naruto but you did not pass" Naruto was confused, this time the only thing he failed was the clone jutsu, "So Naruto do you know why you weren't made ninja?" Iruka asked the boy who was pretending to be sad.
"Because my tests are rigged, my chakra is too high to actually use jutsu that call for little chakra like clone jutsu and I don't have the control to break genjutsu properly because of my Uzumaki heritage I have an overly large amount of chakra even at such a young age." Naruto said the answer stumpingIruka.
Iruka stood their stunned for a moment not even knowing how to retort. He knew all of those things were true,but never really thought too much about it. After a few moments he finally said, "I'll be honest I never thought of it like that I'm going to look at your test now and compare it to others and then talk to the Hokage about your condition and see if there's something else you can do" Iruka finally said.
Naruto smiled and hugged the man, "Please hurry then!" Naruto said not even caring even though he did have very good chakra control which was only getting better because of Hinata he knew that it still wasn't even good enough for clone jutsu. But he at least now he could climb trees and water walk after many, many "dates" with Hinata. As soon as he left Iruka Naruto headed outside and that's when mizuki approached him.
"So you failed again huh?" He started.
Naruto put back on his sad face, "Yeah… I don't know what I'm going to do now… I've been practicing nonstop for weeks and it's all for naught." Naruto said.
"Well I do know another way for you to pass…" the man was cut off by Naruto.
"It's ok I talked with Iruka and due to some circumstances he's going to talk to Hokage-jiji for me to see if there's a different test I can do." The boy said.
"Oh you did? Ok than Naruto never mind then…" "Son of a bitch! Now what will I do!?" Mizuki thought to himself angrily.
Naruto smiled before putting up the ram seal and using the shunshin to get away from the man and o back to his apartment. Once inside Naruto sat on his bed and went into his seal to talk to his furry little friend. "Hey Kurama" Naruto greeted with a smile and back in his original body before the travel.
"Kit" he greeted gruffly.
"What's wrong? You seem aggravated." Naruto said noticing the ticked off tone the fox was using.
"Why am I still trapped in this fucking cage" The tailed beast asked a bit pissed he's in it.
"Because it's not time for you to be unsealed… I am truly sorry but it's too soon and too many questions would be asked you know that." He said sternly even though he wishes he could set his friend free again.
"You do raise a point but that doesn't mean I like it…" the fox sighed for a second before continuing, "But I guess it can't be helped… what did you need anyways?"
"Well… I was thinking we could try loosening the seal to try getting this body used to your chakra again?" The young boy asked with a toothy grin.
"I don't know... It would be difficult to do that including that you don't have that Jiraiya boy with you this time to help you if you do lose control." The fox said as he didn't want his friend to accidentally kill everyone.
"True and I can't leave behind clones as they'll be destroyed as soon as your chakra takes over" Naruto said thinking to himself. Finally he sighed and said, "I guess I'll just have to wait for Jiraiya" he said before he returned to the real world to look up at the sun set. Naruto stretched and went to make some ramen. But not long there was a knock at the front door. Naruto went to the door and looked through the peephole to see Mizuki.
The door opened, "Sensei?" Naruto asked.
Mizuki smiled and said, "Hey Naruto I got good news."
Naruto frowned before saying, "What is it sensei?"
"I talked with Iruka and Hokage-sama and they told me of a way you can try to test to become a ninja… The idea is kind of outdated though." Mizuki said to the innocent looking boy with a smirk.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me it's been like a half hour" Naruto thought to himself. "What is it? You just have to tell me I'll do anything!" Naruto said waaayy over exaggerating himself.
"You need to steal the scroll of sealing and learn one jutsu before midnight tonight" Mizuki said trying to hide a smirk. Thinking to himself that this was way to easy.
"Really? Sounds simple consider it done!" Naruto said while mentally sighing.
"See you tonight than" Mizuki said before shunshing away.
"Fucking great" Naruto said before taking off he might as well see what new Justus he could learn. It didn't take long for the boy to get to the Hokage's office. He got there and saw the man was alone, Naruto quickly broke into the room surprising the Hokage. Naruto then transformed into a hot naked girl knocking the old man unconscious. Naruto sighed at how easy this was and walked over and grabbed the scroll of sealing before leaving.
The boy found a clearing far off in the woods and sat down and started to open the scroll seeing what was in here which he didn't notice last time. His eyes lit up when he saw the one jutsu that defines his Uzumaki heritage. The adamantine sealing chains. The same chains his mother had when he met her. He quickly memorized the theory behind it and how to activate it etc. when finished he rolled the seal back up and got to work. Naruto decided he might as well see if he could use the chains, never knew when it might come in hand. Naruto closed his eyes and focused on his chakra, he than imagined it becoming solid like the scroll said. Naruto felt funny as he did this, and tried to then force his chakra outside his body while still staying sharp and solid. But nothing happened, Naruto concentrated even harder trying to get it to work but still nothing happened, so he opened the scroll once more before he facepalmed. The jutsu could only be used with female Uzumaki, and since he wasn't female the jutsu wouldn't work with him.
"Well that was a waste of five minutes, ugh might as well relax then" Naruto groaned out loud as he sat down. The boy only ended up waiting about an hour before a certain Chunin showed up.
"Naruto what are you doing!?" Iruka asked freaking out.
Naruto smiled softly, "What do you mean Iruka? I'm doing what Mizuki said to do. He said he talked with you and Jiji and that if I wanted to pass I had to steal the scroll and learn a jutsu." Naruto grinned.
"What are you talking about Naruto? Naruto no one has seen Mizuki since graduation earlier today." Iruka said confused before he started to piece it together. "Fuck" Iruka's insticts went off as he jumped in front of the boy, "Naruto run now!" Iruka screamed as the man could now sense Mizuki and what he was throwing.
Before Naruto could move once again Iruka was standing over Naruto shielding the young boy from danger. Naruto's eyes went wide as it was his fault for not being able to protect his brother figure. He knew this was going to happen and like it was fate he did nothing, and now Iruka was hurt, and he seemed worse than last time, "Well it seems you found me out huh?" Mizuki said with a sadistic grin.
Iruka pulled out the large shuriken from his back... and it was very painful for him nonetheless but he retorted quickly, "Naruto get out of here find Hokage-sama I'll hold off this bastard traitor." He said to the boy.
The young orange boy couldn't take this anymore and quickly performed his best jutsu. "Kage Bunshin no jutsu…" he muttered. Before anyone could ask what he said they were suddenly surrounded by a large mass of white smoke which turned out to be a lot of clones. "GET HIM!" Naruto screamed in anger as his clones charged in at the unsuspecting Mizuki. Naruto's clones all rushed the older Chunin with a war cry and started to pummel the man who could barely even defend his own self. The clones after successfully beating up the man but not actually killing him dispersed leaving the original with Iruka and a bloody and beaten Mizuki.
Mizuki coughed up blood as he lied there withering in pain. He looked up at Naruto with fear and anger in his eyes, "D-demon" he stuttered out, "You truly are a fucking demon you Kyuubi brat!" he screamed at the boy.
Naruto just looked down his face casting an evil look one of a man who's seen and knows pain. In his anger Naruto took out a kunai and walked towards the older Chunin, Iruka was on the ground, he couldn't see what Naruto was doing. Mizuki's eyes widened in fear he rolled over to try and get up and get away, Naruto used that to his advantage and stabbed the man in his spine, "That's for Iruka-sensei" he paused before taking it out slowly as the man screamed in pain. Mizuki couldn't move, his body exploded he never felt pain like this, Naruto kicked him over and he then shoved it into the man's gut still not killing him, "And that's for everything else you traitor bastard."
Naruto turned around and ran back to Iruka, "Sensei are you all right?" The boy asked worriedly.
Iruka looked at Naruto fearfully.
He didn't see what happened but he could hear it, hell he could still hear Mizuki groaning in pain, "I think so… but we should do something about him. We can't allow him to die, we need to find out why he betrayed the village and who he's working for" Iruka said trying to stand up but not being able to.
"Sit down Iruka I'll get help with a clone" Naruto said as the older man decided to sit back down not complaining.
Not a few minutes later the Anbu showed up with Naruto's clone who decided to disperse right then, the Anbu immediately came to Iruka and Naruto. It didn't take him long to explain what happened and as he talked the Anbu started to heal him. After was all said and done Iruka gave Naruto his headband again and congratulated him on becoming a Genin.
Naruto dropped off Iruka at the hospital before running to the Hokage's office. He casually climbed in through the window scarring the old man. "Naruto boy you nearly gave me a heart attack don't sneak up on me like that" Sarutobi said to the boy no longer upset about what happened.
"Trust me I don't ever wanna do that old man." Naruto said smilingly with the grandfather like figure.
"I see Iruka decided to pass you, even if he didn't I would have since you saved his life that would have automatically made you a ninja" the Kage said with a slight smile
"I was really just protecting myself from Mizuki who tried to kill me." Naruto said with his foxy grin.
"That's still a good thing Naruto but I'm sorry… I just want to protect you but I still failed to do that but don't worry I'll make it right again I promise you" he said to the boy.
"Maybe he means telling me about my parents when the time comes… I hope I can save you this time jiji…" Naruto thought to his own self. "It's ok jiji… I understand you have your reasons I don't hold anything against you or anyone else for that matter." Naruto said making the Kage smile slightly.
"You should get going now Naruto-kun you have a long day tomorrow and have to be up in a few hours." The Kage said to his unofficial grandson.
"Goodnight jiji" He said before leaving via window.
Naruto quickly ran to his place via rooftop but before he walked in he sensed a chakra source that was very high. It seemed familiar also so cautiously Naruto walked in and what he saw made him sweat drop. "B, what are you doing?" Naruto asked the older brother figure.
"I got tired waitin fo youu so I searched and searched and found sum fooddd" he rapped horribly.
Naruto smiled as did B and the two hugged, "It's been too long I'm glad your back but that doesn't explain how you're here and you also never explained how you remember anything."
B sighed and poured the ramen he made into a bowl before sitting down, "Well it's all because of Gyuki. At first I didn't remember anything but he kept talking about the future… or past or whatever the hell it was and it kept nagging at me and then finally I remembered it all. Just like that out of nowhere it all came back to me and yea I remembered. Took almost 8 years but I finally remembered" He said answering Naruto's question.
"That makes sense, I came back on my 8th birthday, maybe Gyuki had the memories and he was sent back to the day that Kurama was sealed in me. So from that day until my 8th birthday he nagged you because he remembered while you didn't until I returned to my physical body." Naruto said as B just nodded and listened to what he was saying, "Well it's good to see you again brother but I have a long day tomorrow and I need my sleep, tomorrow is the day I officially meet Kakashi as my sensei. So I'll be gone early but should be back around two, two thirty. I haven't really trained too much so I'm not as strong as I could be but I'm strong enough. I'm at least as strong as I was in the Chunin finals minus the ability to summon toads." Naruto said to his brother jinchuuriki.
B nodded hearing the info, even though he didn't know the boy at that point in time he could gather a good idea, "So you're just now becoming a Genin then? Good job can't wait to see what you become I'm actually surprised A let me out as he loved to keep me cooped up for my own safety. But I'm surprised you waited so long to do anything, I figured by now you would have done so much more and be a Jounin by now or at least a Chunin" B said to his friend.
"I didn't want to make too many changes plus I need Sasuke to still be on my team. It was tempting to just change everything but if I did that than my knowledge of the future would be nulled and useless. But don't worry things will change" Naruto said holding his fist out to fistbump B.
B smiled meeting the fist before jokingly saying, "So what's up with all that orange? You look ridiculous." The man said trying not to crack up.
"What? It's not as bad as it used to be trust me, this is the same outfit I had when you met me in the future. Sure I have an orange blanket, and orange flames on the wall but I love orange damnit!" Naruto said to his friend as the man just couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
"Whatever you still look hysterical anyways go to bed I'll find the couch when I get tired." Naruto nodded in appreciation and went straight to bed without any reply.
