AN - Naruto will primarily be using the Hiraishin and his variants along with the Kaze Shuriken. I will also be using the Hiraishin instead of Flying Thunder God, idk why. Also I like Kaze Shuriken better than Rasenshuriken.
Training Field Seven
"Where is he?" Asked a linked haired girl as she stood across from her fellow teammate.
"I don't know. This is getting annoying." The raven haired boy said.
"Hello, everyone." Said a silver haired man with a face mask and his headband covering one of his eyes.
"You're late, sensei!" The pink haired girl shouted.
"I'm sorry. I just got lost on the path of life." Kakashi said while giving a one eye smile.
"That's quite the excuse. I'll need to use it next time." Said Naruto sitting in a teee as he was spinning his three pronged kunai around his finger.
"Who are you?" Asked the emo looking kid.
"It's rude to ask someone for their name without giving your own name first. Though, I don't expect such manners from you, Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto said in an emotionless tone.
"You're late! You didn't even show up to the team meeting yesterday!" The pink haired girl shouted.
"Sakura Haruno. Massive fan girl for Sasuke Uchiha. Every report declared you add Sasuke in every thing you talk about." Naruto said.
"Um, Naruto." Kakashi started to say before he was cut off.
"Kakashi Hatake, Jonin, former Anbu captain of team Ro. Known as the Copycat ninja and listed as an A rank shinobi in the bingo book. You are also said to be two hours late to anything and everything." Naruto said.
"Well, since you weren't here yesterday, would you care to introduce yourself?" Asked the silver haired ninja.
"My name is Naruto Namikaze. I have nothing else that I dream necessary to reveal." The blond said.
"Anyway. Today, you three will be taking your graduation exam. The objective is simple. You have until twelve to get these two bells from me. Those who don't get a bell will be sent back to the academy." Kakashi said.
"Wait! There are only two bells! But three of us!" Sakura shouted.
"That's right. This way, one of you are definitely being sent back. Though, I have a strong feeling that none of you will get the bell. Okay, test begins now." Kakashi said as he pulled his orange book out.
both Sasuke and Sakura jumped to the bushes as they were hiding and preparing to strike their jonin sensei. Naruto remained still as he gazed at Kakashi with an emotionless expression.
"Um, the test began." Kakashi said as he continued reading his book. The copy cat ninja quickly caught the kunai but was surprised when he received a punch to his face by the blond.
"That jutsu... No, it's impossible." Thought Kakashi as he glared at the blond.
"I'd put your book away, Kakashi. I'm not like Sasuke or Sakura." Naruto called out as he drew his kunai.
"Maybe, but different isn't always better." Kakashi said before he dodged three kunai from Sasuke.
The Uchiha then charged at the jonin by delivering a fist towards his face but was caught by Kakashi. He soon dragged his leg across only for Kakashi to use his other hand to block it. Smirking, Sasuke used his other hand to grab a bell and slightly tapped it.
Kakashi quickly gathered distance between him and Sasuke. "Not bad, Sasuke. But you will need to do better than that." Kakashi said.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu." Naruto muttered as four copies of the blond charged at Kakashi. The silver haired man prepared to counter him until they all flicked a kunai. Kakashi grabbed his own kunai and prepared to deflect them.
"Wind Release - Nine Tails Shockwave!" Naruto roared as his voice sounded like a demon. Kakashi's eye went wide at seeing the outline of the Kyuubi No Kitsune.
"My body!" Kakashi thought as Naruto teleported in front of him and delivered a punch to his gut that sent him flying backwards.
"Impossible! There is no way he is that strong." Sasuke thought as he glared daggers at the blond.
"Well, you certainly have a few tricks up your sleeve, don't you?" Asked Kakashi.
"I suggest you hand over the bells unless you want me to take this up a notch." Naruto said as he got into his stance.
Kakashi went through a series of hand seals. "Lightning Release." Kakashi said but before he could finish three kunai were thrown at him. Not wanting to fall for the same trick, Kakashi performed a back flip but was met by a punch to the back of his head.
"Ugh... How did you get behind me?" Kakashi asked in disbelief.
Naruto gazed at the jonin. "You've been marked. I no longer have to play games with you anymore."
"Naruto, how did you learn that jutsu. It's a forbidden S rank jutsu." Kakashi in a serious tone.
"My father left me his scroll with all the details on how to learn the jutsu. I must say, the man was an absolute genius." The blond said.
"Your father?" Asked Kakashi.
"Wow... You guys truly are blind. Can't you see the resemblance? Maybe I should lose the whiskers. But even though I'm the demon you hate, you should be able to use your head to see the truth." Naruto said.
The silver haired ninja stood still as the revelation hit him. Suddenly, Naruto appeared before Kakashi as he took the bells. "Mission complete." Naruto said as he threw the bells to his teammates before vanishing in a yellow flash.
"Um, what just happened?" Asked Sakura as she looked at the bells.
"Your teammate completed the mission. You all pass. Report at the mission hall tomorrow at seven." Kakashi said as he vanished in a shunshin.
With Madara
"Listen up! The standards of a shinobi have greatly dropped. Today, that changes." Said Madara as she faced at the Anbu before her.
"Who are you?" asked a man wearing bird mask.
"My name is Raven. Lord Hokage has appointed me as the new commander and chief of the Anbu black ops. Now, I want all of you to come at me with the intent to kill." Madara ordered.
Everyone remained still. This annoyed Madara as she declared that the first person to land a punch on her would be promoted to captain. This was enough motivation for the other Anbu members.
Madara smirked behind her mask as a woman with Lizard mask jumped and charged at her. Having her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan activated, Madara caught the punch and cocked her elbow back to knock out the man wearing the mask of a pig.
Charging at her with two swords drawn, the current captain, Cat, she charged and began slashing her blades. Madara drew her own sword and easily deflected the slashes with her blade with one hand.
"Wood Release - Great Forest!" Shouted a man wearing the mask of the board.
"So, that's him." Madara thought as she made the seal of the tiger. "Fire Release - Great Fire Destruction!" Madara roared as the massive tree branches burned away.
The Anbu wearing a hawk mask teamed up with Dog, Snake, and Lion as God used an Earth Dragon, Snake used a fire dragon, Lion used a water dragon, and Hawk used a Wind dragon.
Coming from behind, Gator used a lightning dragon as the five elements raced and mixed together for a powerful, five element blast. Madara chuckled at this as she went through another series of hand seals.
"Fire Release - Great Fire Annihilation!" She roared as a massive flame absorbed the jutsu and a massive explosion occurred. Madara performed a body flicker to escape the shockwave from the attack that nearly destroyed the Anbu training ground.
"I need to learn the Hiraishin." Madara silently thought as she gazed down at the Anbu, unimpressed. "It seems none of you were able to touch me. Right now, I want all of you to give me five hundred push ups, sit ups, pull ups, squats, run fifty miles at a full sprint, and punch the training dummy five thousand times with each hand. Go!" Madara yelled and everyone began, no questions asked.
Hokage's Office
Hiruzen was dealing with a kage's worse enemy, paperwork. As he was accepting and declining different request, he was met by a concerned Kakashi.
"Hello, Kakashi." The Hokage said.
"Why didn't you tell me I was going to have sensei's son on my team? Also, why would you let him learn the Hiraishin?" Asked Kakashi.
Hiruzen leaned back as his gaze never left Kakashi. "Well, it isn't hard to compare the two. They both have blond hair and blue eyes. Kushina was the only Uzumaki and Minato was the only Namikaze. I figured you would put it all together." The aged Hokage said.
"What about the Hiraishin? He's only a genin. Don't you think it was a bit too soon?" Asked Kakashi.
"Naruto never attended the academy. He left the village six years ago with his sensei. I gave him his inheritance and he learned everything himself. I don't see the problem." Hiruzen said.
"He's not a weapon! God, Minato sensei and Lady Kushina are turning in their graves right now." The silver haired man said.
"I thought you would have liked the fact that you are able to train Minato's son." Hiruzen said.
"Train him? The kid is nearly only my level. That's with the Hiraishin alone. Who trained him? Master Jiraiya?" Asked Kakashi.
The Hokage shook his head. "No. It was our commander and chief of the Anbu black ops. She trained him and turned Naruto into the shinobi that he is. Being a Jinchuriki, I needed him to become as powerful as possible." Hiruzen said.
A knock on the door was heard. "Come in." Said Hiruzen and standing before him, the Anbu commander and chief, Raven, entered.
"Ah, hello Raven. How did everything go?" Asked the Hokage.
"They are a joke. Not a single one of them could land an attack on me. However, I've made some changes to their training." Raven said.
"I see. Raven, this is Kakashi Hatake. He was the commander and chief before you." Hiruzen said.
Kakashi's single eye went wide. "Are you the one who taught Naruto?" Asked Kakashi.
"That's correct. Though, he really taught himself. I just gave him a little bit of motivation. Who knew how much believing in a child could help them grow?" Raven asked.
"What are you saying?" Asked Hiruzen who was confused at Raven's response.
"I tried to treat him like a weapon and while he was determined to do whatever it took to meet my every demand. He did well but not to my standards. I tried every method I could think of until Jiraiya came. He told me that sometimes, encouraging words can be the difference between going the extra mile or giving up.
I don't think Naruto would have given up, ever. But I tried Jiraiya's approach." Madara said.
Flashback
"Naruto." Madara called out to the boy was all bruised up and nearly passed out.
"Yes, sensei?" Asked Naruto.
"I know I've been hard on you. But I want you to know, that you've been making excellent progress. I'm proud of you." Madara said and suddenly, she was shocked at the tight hug the eight year old gave her.
Being an advanced sensor, she could tell Naruto was crying. She smiled softly and patted his back.
Naruto looked up. "I promise, Madara sensei! I'll keep working hard!" Naruto declared with a bright smile.
Flashback Ends
"After that, he performed the Rasengan." Madara declared.
"Unbelievable." Kakashi and Hiruzen silently thought.
"So you see, Lord Hokage. Maybe instead of taking the Danzo approach or treating him like a weapon, if you actually remembered he was a human, you would have not only a loyal shinobi, but a loving one." Madara said.
"Are you saying he isn't loyal to the village?" Asked the Hokage.
"I don't know. If I had to guess, his loyalties lie with me. I don't know what to say about it. I guess he finds comfort knowing that he isn't being treated like a demon." Madara said as she slightly growled at how the village acted towards her student.
"Raven... Naruto is this villages Jinchuriki. He needs to be loyal to the Hokage, the leader of this village. If not, it will be another Danzo problem." Hiruzen said.
"I'm aware. This is what I suggest. Change your attitude towards him. You know with his tenant, he is able to detect negative emotions. This includes fake ones. Also, Kakashi. Why don't you try getting close with him outside of team formation? If he gives any problems, I'll inform him that if anything, he is to follow the Hokage and his sensei's orders." Madara said as she let out a sigh.
"I suppose that could work. It isn't ideal but I guess I'm the one who caused this mess." Hiruzen said before he dismissed Raven.
Namikaze Compound
Naruto was sitting at the kitchen table, eating a cup of instant ramen. When Madara entered through the door, he gave a bright smile.
"Hi, sensei!" Naruto called out.
Madara gave a smirk. "Hey, Naruto. How was your first day?" Asked the Uchiha as she grabbed herself a cup of instant ramen and poured some hot water in it to let it cook.
"It was alright. I miss being out of the village. I don't think this team is going to work." Naruto said.
"Well, it has to. At least for now it does." Madara said.
"What do you mean?" Asked the blond.
"Naruto... Tell me, if it came to choosing me or the village who would you choose?" The raven haired woman asked.
"You." Naruto said immediately.
Madara raised an eyebrow. "What if I wanted to destroy the village? Would you stop me?" Madara asked.
"Nope." Naruto responded as he took another bite of his ramen.
"What if I wanted to burn it all to the ground?" Madara shot out.
Naruto looked up. "I pour all the gasoline I could fine and bet you that I could produce a bigger fire jutsu than you could." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Why? Why would you choose me over the village? It's your home? I'm just one person." Madara said.
"Home isn't where you are from. It's being around the people that care about you and have been there for you. Madara, you were there and even on the days you were an absolute grouch and put me through hell. You had my best interest in your mind. I trust you with my life and I'd destroy all the shinobi nations if you asked me to." Naruto said.
"I could be using you and to reach my own goals." Madara added on.
"Yeah, you could and that would cause a major problem." Naruto said as he slowly started stirring the rest of his ramen.
"Why is that?" Asked Madara.
"Because you're the first friend I have ever had." Naruto said with a bright and innocent smile.
