Ohayo! Welcome back to another chapter of Naruto of the Uchiha clan. I tell ya, writing, playing guitar and eating mr.noodles all at the same time is the best way to come up with story ideas.
First let's answer some reviews:
PANSUKE: I know that suijinheki is Jounin level but I needed a water barrier to show the effects of the flamethrower imitation off. Let's just say that the genin tried to master it and partially did.
Reiko no Tori: sorry for making you almost choke and die. I will try harder in this chapter to tone down the laughter…not! Lol
Angel of Forgotten Souls: I know Itachi kill his clan at the age of thirteen but in my version, things will become way more different. Overall, I will NOT let Itachi kill the clan (no matter how emo he is ((does that make sense?)). But things will become hectic for the Uchihas later on.
Antiassassinguy: I know I rejected your idea for a naru/kure fic but, after careful thought, I have placed her in a role that will, let's just say… bring her pretty close to naruto
Anyways… as promised, Naruto and Sasuke will begin their training to become ninjas!
The Academy Escapades
Part 1: Great Expectations… Even Greater Disappointments
Sasuke Uchiha awoke from a wierd dream about a strange girl with multi-coloured hair who suddenly turned into a banshee and multiplied many times over, surrounding him on all sides. All of them then opened their mouth and shouts and cries similar to those at rock concerts were blasted at Sasuke.
"That was weird..."
He then pulled a book out from under his pillow. The title read 'The Young Psychic's Guide to Dreams' (yeah, he's into that stuff… just don't tell anyone). He looked up the word "Banshee" and the definition told him to turn to page 23. On that page he saw a picture of the banshee in his dream. He then read:
"The Banshee with multi-coloured hair represents a bad omen. If it multiplied, that means that popularity is fast approaching, but at a great cost. Those who admire you will follow you to no end! Privacy will be invaded your belonging will be treated as god-like idols to adoring fans. Hint: Beware of long haired females."
"Well, that can't be good…" Sasuke muttered, and then dismissed his thoughts as he smelt the delectable smell of ramen.
He walked into the kitchen and saw Naruto eating his way through his tenth bowl of ramen.
"Hey, same some for me would ya?"
Naruto looked up, his sleepless eyes sunk into his head and he laughed menacingly, "NEVER! It's all mine!"
Sasuke sweatdropped as Mikoto passed a bowl of ramen to him.
"Eat up Sasuke; today's your big day."
Suddenly Fugaku walked into the room. "Honey, I can't find my good uniform! And I lost my shoe!"
"Fugaku dear, calm down. Remember how you acted at Itachi's academy initiation?"
Flashback
A seven year old Itachi was just about to enter the gates to the academy when Fugaku pulled him back.
"Son, are you sure that you want to do this, being a ninja is a big job you know?"
"Otou-san, of course I want to do this! Being a ninja has always been my dream."
Fugaku still looked worried. "Well, just remember, there are bullies in the school and… um don't do drugs…um… avoid prostitutes…"
"Fugaku!" Mikoto yelled slapping him on the head.
"Just have fun Itachi, okay?" Mikoto said as she handed him his lunch.
"I will, oka-san."
"There he goes, my little boy…" Fugaku said, tears welling in his eyes
"Um… Fugaku are you crying?"
"Maybe he should wait another year…he's so young. What if he's not ready?"
"I'm sure he'll be fi-"
Suddenly his tears were flowing uncontrollably. "Itachi! Come back! You're not ready!"
Mikoto then grabbed Fugaku's shoulders and dragged him back home.
"I promised myself I wouldn't cry…"
End Flashback
"Otou-san you cried?" Naruto asked.
"No" he said quickly, "It was… I had something in my eyes that's all."
Itachi then entered the room "Oh he cried all right. Enough to fill our little lake in the back three times over. Yup, 'twas a sad day for Fugaku Uchiha."
"Itachi, are you coming to see your brothers' initiation?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world; I want to see the looks on their faces when they see what's in store for them."
Sasuke involuntarily shivered, "What's in store for us?"
"Well…not only do you get initiated by the teachers but also the higher up grades as well. And let me tell you, it ain't pretty."
"What happened to you then?" Naruto asked.
"Well, they give these things called 'swirlys'."
"Like ice cream swirlys or something like that, right?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Anyway, you know Old Twitchy from down the road?"
"Yeah, what about him?"
"There's a reason why he's all twitchy like that."
Sasuke and Naruto both gulped "Initiation…?"
"Exactly."
Both Sasuke and Naruto paled as Mikoto cut in "Itachi, instead of scaring your brothers you should be helping them get ready."
"Okay, okaa-san." Itachi then guided Sasuke and Naruto to their rooms "Maybe we can visit Old Twitchy on the way out." Both boys squeaked in fear and ran into their rooms and hid under their bed.
1 hour later…
"Stop worrying boys, you'll be fine." Mikoto said.
"But what if we end up like Old Twitchy?"
"You won't, trust me. Besides, Julian, that's his real name, became like that when a shuriken cut some nerve endings in his spine, not from initiation. And, he isn't old, his appearance is just related to his bloodline limit."
Both boys calmed down a bit. "But what about swirlys?"
"Once again, don't worry. If Iruka-san is still there then he will take care of you."
"Who's Iruka?"
"He was Itachi's teacher when he was in the academy. He's only a chuunin but says that he doesn't want to take the Jounin exam because he likes teaching so much."
The Uchihas arrived at the academy and saw many other children with their parents as well. Sasuke looked around and saw that all the females in the area had really long hair.
"This isn't good…" he thought as he remembered his dream.
He then turned his head and saw a small girl with long pink hair. She looked really nervous and held herself closely to her mother. For one brief moment she turned her head and met Sasuke's eyes. At that time, a gust of wind fluttered past Sasuke's right eye, causing him to wink. The pink haired girl blushed and hid her face in her mom' dress.
"Shit... did I just wink at her?" Sasuke thought in disgust.
"Attention parents and students-to-be," a man in his mid-twenties with a ponytail spoke through a megaphone, "the class lists are now posted on the front door. Please guide the students to their respective classes and we'll take care of the rest."
A mob of people crowed around the front door to see who would be in which class.
"Otou-san, I can't see the list." Naruto said.
Itachi then grabbed the back of Naruto's and Sasuke's shirts "Allow me to take care of that." He then lifted both of them up over his head, being careful not to strangle them.
The boys were then able to read the list. They searched the papers until they found their names.
"Hey, Sasuke, we're in the same class!"
"Yatta!"
The paper then told them to go to room 12, their teacher would be Iruka .
Itachi then put the boys down as Mikoto approached them.
"Okay, boys remember to treat your teacher with respect. He was the one who taught Itachi so he'll be nice to you if you're nice to him. Remember to also treat your classmates with respect."
"We will oka-san!" both boys turned towards the school as two large hands grabbed their shoulders. The boys turned again to see a teary eyed Fugaku.
"Boys, be careful alright? Bad people always target schools, ya know? Don't talk to strangers… and for the love of god, avoid prostitutes!"
"Fugaku!" this time, Itachi smacked him on the head.
"Time to bring him home…" muttered Mikoto.
As Itachi and Mikoto dragged Fugaku away he began yelling "NOOOO! I must protect them! They're not ready to become ninjas!"
"Bye, otou-san!"
Both boys finally entered the school and ran to room 12. Sasuke and Naruto both entered the room at the same time
"You're late!"
The man with the ponytail stood at the teacher's desk, evidently, this was Iruka. He glared at the boys and checked his class list.
"…Naruto Uzamaki, stay after school to clean the class. Maybe that will teach you not to be late for my class."
Sasuke looked confused, "Um, sensei, I was late too. Shouldn't I stay as well?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I said so! Now sit down before I make you stay after class to clean!"
"But I already should stay af-"
"Dammit, child! Stay after class to clean if you want to!"
"Thank you, sensei." Sasuke muttered.
Naruto and Sasuke then took their seats at the back of the class.
"You didn't have to defend me, Sasuke." Naruto said.
"We were both late so we should be equally punished. That is called justice; it is what I believe in. After all, I am the Awesome Blue Beast of Konoha!"
"Boys at the back, SHUT UP!"
The class proceeded as the students introduced themselves. Then Iruka handed out information sheets on what they would be covering over the school year. Each child faceplanted as they read the first sentence on the paper.
"NOTE: There will be NO instructing of taijutsu, ninjutsu or genjutsu for first years."
"What is this bull plop?" one boy shouted, "Why won't we learn any of the cool stuff this year?"
"YEAH!" the whole class shouted.
"Shut up! (the whole class fell silent) The reason you won't learn any 'cool' stuff this year is because you must learn the basics of the basics."
"What the hell does that mean?" a blonde girl asked.
"That means that you must be physically fit to learn taijutsu. You must learn chakra control in order to learn any ninjutsu or genjutsu. And you must learn the history and theory of the ninja art in order to respect and uphold the laws of a ninja."
"This totally sucks!"
"Well deal with it!"
A small silence fell over the class until a boy with a black jacket and sunglasses stood up.
"Are we at least going to learn some exciting stuff from this history?"
"It depends whether or not I'm in a good mood, now sit down."
The rest of that day passed by silently, considering half the class was already asleep from boredom.
"And thus concludes that story of Yashu and the demon if the rain. Pack u your things and get out of here. Sasuke and Naruto, stay where you are."
After the students left the class, Iruka opened up a storage closet in the room and brought out mops and chalk brushes.
"Clean the boards and wash them. When you're finished with that, mops the floors, I expect them to be extremely shiny tomorrow." After he said that he picked up his jacket and left.
It took the boys half an hour to clean the boards mainly because they were so small and could not reach the top. In the end they resorted to standing on chairs and each other's shoulders. Then came the mopping. The boys started at the top of the class (the classroom looks the same as in the manga/anime) and tried to clean the floors with the soap.
"Do ya think the floor's shiny enough?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah… a little too shiny…" Sasuke looked at the soap bottle and smelled it.
"Yuck! It's olive oil!" he screamed.
"Nani!" Naruto took the bottle and put a little it of the oil on his hand. Sure enough, it was olive oil. "Who the hell keeps olive oil in a soap bottle?"
Naruto then turned the bottle over, a small sentence was written on the bottom; "U got initiated!"
"Kuso…"
Sasuke got a mischievous smile on his face as he eyed the olive oil, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I think I'm thinking what you're thinking." Naruto smiled as he took the lid off the bottle and turned it upside down…
The next day…
Iruka was late. Apparently this was a first for him. His new students had to wait outside the class. All the while, they mumbled between themselves.
"Why does he have to be late? I hate standing all the time!" the blonde girl asked.
"You act like you want to learn." The sunglasses kid said.
"Yeah, right! I just want this day to finish quickly."
"Quiet, he's coming!"
Iruka ran down the hall way at breakneck speed. "Sorry I'm late! I had to meet someone important."
He quickly unlocked the door and stepped in the class towards his desk. The sunglasses boy walked in then stopped. He turned to the blonde girl.
"Ladies first." He said and stepped out of her way.
"Damn straight!"
The class quickly ran to their desks unaware of the danger ahead.
"Itai!" Iruka said as his feet slipped out from under him, faceplanting into the chalk board.
"What th-" one boy spun around to see what happened, only to find that he spun around too fast. He fell into two other students and fell down the stairs.
"AHH!" the blonde girl screamed as she fell from the top platform all the way down to the bottom, taking down more kids on her way.
Iruka stood back up and attempted to catch some of the falling children, only to be met with a massive avalanche of students.
"AAAAAAHHHGGGHGHGHGH!" he screamed as the students crushed him.
Naruto, Sasuke and the sunglasses kid stood at the door way, watching the whole scene.
"Awesome!" Sasuke said.
"Totally!" Naruto said as they high-fived.
"Impressive." The sunglasses kid said.
Needless to say, the noise had attracted a large crowd out side the room. Children laughed at the spectacle as teachers tried to enter the room. They quickly met the same fate as the unfortunate kids and joined the pile.
The students were absolutely roaring with laughter now. None of the teachers dared to walk into the room for fear of falling.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed, storm clouds began gathering and the temperature dropped steeply. A large source of power appeared right behind Sasuke and Naruto.
"What's going on here?" a male voice asked.
"That voice, it could only be-"
"Itachi-san!" Iruka called from the pile, only his arm was visible now.
Naruto and Sasuke slowly turned around and their eyes met the Sharingan eyes of Itachi. And he was PISSED! Itachi then walked into the classroom. Students gasped as they saw his feet were glowing with chakra, allowing him to step on the floor easily. He stepped up to the pile and began picking people up and laying them down on the floor. He then turned to Sasuke and Naruto.
"Go to the office and seek medical help." He said as he finally reached Iruka.
"It was horrible, Itachi! People were falling all over the place and couldn't do anything to help!"
"You helped cushion their fall, that's the best you could do."
Naruto and Sasuke couldn't help but giggle at the melodramatics. They continued down to the office when they realized something,
"We are screwed if they find out it was us who did that." Naruto said.
"Yeah but it was worth it." Sasuke said as he pulled out Itachi's video camera.
"Nice."
They made it to the office and helped make a call to Konoha hospital. The hallways were closed as medic teams were wheeling out teachers and students in stretchers. Iruka's classroom was blocked by yellow tape and only one man was allowed in. He wore a forehead protector that covered his entire head and a large trench coat. An ANBU emblem was stitched on his right sleeve. That man was Morino Ibiki of the Interrogations Squad.
Itachi then appeared behind Ibiki. "Did you find anything yet?"
"I believe I have a lead." He reached down and picked up a soap bottle off of a desk.
"What do you think happened?"
"Well…"
Ibki's POV (CSI style!)
The perpetrator's would have been to eliminate an entire class of future shinobi. Yes… take out the young ones so that the old generation will have no fresh support, interesting tactic.
What I know is that this guy was smart. He didn't go all out with explosives or gas. Instead he wanted to make it look like an accident. His main target would be the teacher then the students. Smell that? It's olive oil. Very slippery, when used correctly. There may be some students in the class who are absolute klutzes. The perpetrator would have taken advantage of this and made it look like the clumsy kid fell first taking out everyone else in turn. Thus we have the case solved all we need is to catch the bastard who would do this.
General POV
"Ibiki, have you been watching CSI again?" Itachi asked.
"No…"
"You do know that show sucks right?"
"It does not! It's awesome! It has killing and blood and everything!"
"Anyway, I think you're wrong about the whole assassination thing. It seems to me that the bottle was left open and was tipped over. Since the room is in layers like a plateau, the oil dripped down all the way to the teacher's desk, thus covering the entire floor in olive oil."
"Oh yeah? Then who would be so stupid as to leave a bottle of olive oil out in the open? It's dangerous stuff you know?"
Itachi then remembered that his brothers were kept late after school.
"I think I have an idea…"
Interrogation Room 13
(let's just skip and the boring stuff and go right to the mental break down)
"So you did leave a bottle of olive oil on the desk!" Ibiki declared to a terrified Sasuke and Naruto.
"Yeah, b-but I guess we forgot to p-put it away." Naruto said.
"Well, I guess that I'll forget to not pull the switch on your electric chairs!"
Both boys paled "This madman's gonna kill us over a bottle of olive oil!" thought Sasuke.
"That's enough, Ibiki." A man then walked into the interrogation room.
"Otuo-san!" Both boys jumped up and hugged their father.
"I think these boys learned their lesson. And, after all, it was a complete fluke that the bottle was tipped over anyway. These boys are therefore free of any charges."
"Very well, Fugaku. But I will keep an eye on these boys."
"Speaking of which, do you know who will be their replacement teacher? I heard Iruka's in the hospital for a good six months at least."
"That's what I meant by 'keeping an eye on them'."
Naruto gulped, "You mean, you're-"
"Yup, we'll be seeing a lot more of each other soon. And I believe our first lessons are on physical fitness… that's always fun."
Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Both boys thought.
Six months later…
"C'mon you slobs! Don't tell me that none of you know how to climb a 2 hundred foot mountain."
"Ibiki-sensei, I'm getting light headed…" one boy said.
Ibiki walked along the mountain side using chakra. "That's the adrenaline rush, son. Can you feel it pulsating through your veins?"
"Actually, I can't feel anything at all…" the boy then lost his grip and fell.
Sasuke reached out a hand and caught the boy by his shirt.
"This is bloody crazy!" yelled Naruto.
The entire class was currently trying to scale a two-hundred foot mountain as their 'training'. During the previous six months, Ibiki had worked ever student to the ground. Sure they got to go outside a lot, but during this time of year it was always between cold and hot and was even wetter than usual. When they were outside, Ibiki would make them do such things as pushups while making them recite quotes from the textbook. If they messed up the quote, he would add a ten pound brick to their back and force them to continue.
To avoid the punishment many students, including Naruto and Sasuke, would spend countless hours reading their books, memorizing them cover to cover. Needless to say, they were the top of the class. Chakra control wasn't much of a challenge for them since they already knew a few jutsus themselves. It was just during meditation that they would become edgy; they never really could learn to sit still for a minute. Anyway back at the mountain…
"Ibiki-sensei, when is Iruka-sensei coming back?" the blonde girl asked.
"Oh, him? I told him to take the rest of the year off, he deserved it."
"NANI!" all the students stopped and some even let go of the mountain in surprise.
"What? Don't you kids like me?" Ibiki asked.
The whole class fell silent and continued their climb.
"This is like a nightmare!" Sasuke said.
"At least we can last through this; I'm not sure about the rest of the class though."
True to his word, Naruto and Sasuke had managed to keep ahead of the class. Everything Ibiki had challenged them to do they found a short cut that would make things easier for them.
Like for the mountain climbing, for example, they had borrowed a kunai from Itachi and put a rope through the loop at the end of it. By using a small bow they were able to shoot the kunai so that it planted itself into the mountain side. They were then able to create an elevator-like pulley system, using their own bodies as weight.
Ibiki watched the boys with interest. "Those boys sure are resourceful, I'll give them that."
Sasuke and Naruto reached the summit of the hill and waited for the rest of the class.
"Well, at least there's only four more months of this." Sasuke said.
"Yeah… hey, are you getting light headed?" Naruto asked as he started swaying back and forth.
"Ya know, I just noticed it now, but yeah, I am a little, why?"
and with that, both boys fell on the hard rock, unconscious.
Four months later…
"Congratulations, Uchiha Sasuke, you pass the first grade." The crowd burst into applause as Sasuke accepted his First Year Diploma. Then Naruto walked up to the stage.
"Congratulations, Uzamaki Naruto, the last student on the list but the top student of the grade." The announcer, Iruka, looked with distaste at Naruto and basically threw the Diploma at him. Nobody cheered, except for Itachi, Mikoto, Fugaku (who was crying) and Sasuke.
Naruto then steeped down from the stage and sat next to Sasuke.
"To all students and parents, the next year's class lists and information will be mailed to your houses near the end of the summer break. Congrats to all who passed and I hope to see you next year."
A/N: And I hope to see YOU next chapter! I know it's not my best chapter but they get better, especially after The Academy Escapades ends. The next chapter will take place during the third grade of the ninja academy. So that would make Naruto and Sasuke just about ten or eleven.
Can some one tell me Sasuke's birthday? I know Naruto's but I need Sasuke's as well.
Next chapter, more Itachi, out of control chakra and well… I don't know what else. But it'll be good trust me.
