As the sun rose, giving light to the villages across the world. The villagers of Konoha started their days, with store owners opening their stores as shinobi relieving each other from their shifts.

At a certain apartment within the village slept our favorite redhead. He had one busy night, pushing himself to his limits once more besides learning more of Katon ninjutsu he had handicapped himself fighting two shadow clones at once, continuously creating more until he was at his limit. While he was faster and stronger than his classmates after him being the Uchiha of course, he knew there was room for improvement.

His younger, blonde haired twin had woken up before him, which was a once in a blue moon kinda situation and like always he decide to celebrate by pranking his older brother. Thus Ayato laid on his bed with a big balloon filled with water hanging above him with a string holding it.

Naruto peeked out the bedroom door with a devious look in his eyes in an instant he threw a dull kunai at the string.

(SPLASH!!)

Ayato rolled off his bed coughing as he struggled to catch his breath, a tick appeared on his head as he heard snickering from out side the room.

'he is deadmeat!!'

catching his breath he hurried out of the room. only for a bowl of floor to fall on his head painting him white. He stood still just past the door frame, tightening his fists.

he removed the bowl from his head as his now white hair started to levitate dangerously, defying the laws of gravity.

Naruto was laughing at this point as he rolled on the ground. his laughing stopped immediately, being replaced by fear as he felt the eerie feeling from behind him. He slowly turned to the frightening angry look of his brother.

his screams where heard through out the block as Ayato left a disfigured Naruto on the floor as he headed to the bathroom.

"t-teme.." Naruto mumbled.


The duo entered the class and Naruto was grinning like he usually does, with his hands folded behind his head and a small bandage on his cheek, he was wearing a brown shirt with the uzumaki crest on the chest, white shorts with blue vertical stripes on the sides, blue sandals and green goggles.

Ayato was wearing a white, long sleeve shirt underneath a black, short sleeve shirt with the Uzumaki crest on the back and black pants with blue sandals.

'(sigh) this is going to be a long day.' the classes where beginning to bore him as he had read all the book they we're given when even he had the time. he was surely going to have to find something to entertain himself with today.

like always Ayato greated the Aburame heir and the shy Hyūga heiress before taking his sit ignoring all the looks of admiration from the girls of his class.

the looks didn't bother him, he knew they wouldn't dare invade his space nor bother him like they did the Uchiha since their parents warned them to stay clear of him.

He rolled his eyes at Naruto and Sakura's confrontation. Once again the pink haired girl ignored him in favor of the Uchiha.

"what's so special about Sasuke anyway?? he is just a stuck up Emo with a dark butt hair cut!"

"don't about Sasuke-kun like that baka!!." Sakura said as she hit Naruto hard on his head followed by a glare from all of Sasuke's fan club.

Ayato ignored the fuss, he would only intervene when they crossed the line until then he didn't like getting involved with Naruto's love life.

he turned to Hinata, and like always she was looking at Naruto in admiration and longing.

'a big forehead girl over a cute Hyūga girl...yep my brother is an idiot.' Ayato thought, shaking his head in disappointment.

"oi Shino what kinda Bettles are those?" he asked as he turned to the Aburame, not wanting to disturb the shy Hyūga heiress.

" Hercules beetles a species of rhinoceros Bettles." The boy said calmly. Shino had grown to like Ayato since he always showed interest in his insects unlike other kids who bully him because of his relation with his insects.

"what do they do with those big, horns??"

"they are used in combat between rival males over access to females... but they are known to be able to lift 850 times their own weight with those horns." Ayato looked at the Bettles in awe.

"awesome!!. so how much does one weigh? " asked Ayato looking to satisfy his curiosity.

"a male Hercules can weigh up to 140g."

"Mhm... so a 140g Hercules Bettle can lift 850 times its body height which is 119 000g. an average human man weighing 52kg with a strength of a Hercules Bettle will be able to lift 44 200kg, wouldn't that be awesome!" ayato said with grin to whom Shino nobbed to.

on the other side of the class Naruto was still fighting with sasuke's fan-club. "you just jealous that you can't beat him." the heiress of the yamanaka clan added.

"I can too!!!" Naruto retorted earning himself earning him a look from Sasuke.

"hm" with a grunt he turned away from the loud uzumaki.

"what was that teme!!" a very pissed Naruto yelled.

"you're-..."

"Everyone to their sits...now!." said iruka from the door authoritatively and quickly the students took their sits.

"(ahem)..Alright. before we begin our lesson.." he turned his attention to the red haired Uzumaki.

"Ayato-san since you are well above the class intellectually and in ninja art, would like to participate in this year's genin test."

"WHAT!!!." Sasuke and Naruto screamed simultaneously.

"WHY ONLY HIM!!" Naruto yelled.

"I'm with the idiot-goldilocks, why him??" Sasuke added.

"what did you say duck butt?" Naruto growled.

'well I do know most of the things they teach here and it was starting to bore me, but I can't leave Naruto alone but... but... maybe they will cut him some slack with me not around..' Ayato thought throughout the chaos Naruto, Sasuke his fan-club where causing.

"well Ayato has aced all the test so far and exceeded far above everyone in this class in Taijutsu and shuriken jutsu." iruka reasoned gaining a 'hm' from Sasuke and a growl from Naruto.

"ok.. I'll take the test." Ayato said suddenly drawing attention to himself..

"okay. follow me." iruka said as he led the way.

without even an exchange of looks between the twin brothers, Ayato passed by his brother with nothing to say just an impassive face.

Naruto simply watched his brothers figure slowly walk further and further away with a sad look in his eyes.


Iruka and Ayato entered another class, filled with kids just sitting there scattered.

a large man stood before him and iruka, he had brown hair and a goatee. he wore standard uniform of the Konoha shinobi inclusiveflak jacket and a forehead protector that he wears like a bandanna.

"So this is the boy genius you were talking about, huh?" the man said as he looked at the boy.

"yes. he doesn't look like much but he has the potential to be hailed with likes of Itachi, trust me Daikoku." the man busted out in a laugh.

"we will see about that Iruka." he added. "go take your sit boy." Ayato nobbed before taking a sit, ignoring the looks of disbelief and jealousy from the older kids.

After Daikoku passed out the papers he stood before the class with a timer in hand. "you have 3 hours, 30 minutes. begin! "

With that the whole classroom turned to their own papers.

'We got geography, mathematics, tactics and strategies.' Ayato thought before beginning to write.

3 hours 30 minutes passed and the papers were submitted to Daikoku, although the boy finishes within the first hour he had to wait until the bell went of to prevent unwanted commotion in the class.


For the second part of the test the class was called one by one into the other room to perform, this had been going on for half the day and a few of them were still to be called out.

"Ayato Uzumaki." Daikoku called out. Ayato turned away from the window in favor of the Chūnin.

"come on, it's your turn." Daikoku said as he motion the boy to follow him, which he did.

Ayato stood a few meters away from the Chūnin teachers sitting before him with like judges of a talent show. the judges were: Daikoku and a women with long, curly, black hair and wears oval glasses along with makeup, wearing red lipstick. Her outfit consists of a simple pink kimono with mesh armour underneath and a pair of baggy red pants with flip-flop-like sandals worn with socks.

"Now Ayato-san would you mind demostrating the (Henge no Jutsu) Transformation Jutsu and (bunshin no jutsu) clone jutsu for us." the women said calmly.

with a nob Ayato made a single seal "(Kage bunshin no jutsu)Shadow clone jutsu." he said as three clones puffed into existence, shocking the two Chūnin before him.

one of his clones turned into a splitting image of the third hokage.

"(ahem) good.." the women said regaining her composure. she turned to her notes to write down something before asking the next task. "how about your chakra control?"

Ayato's other clone flipped to the ceiling of the room, he stood upside down with only his chakra sticking him on to the surface.

"seems Iruka wasn't kidding about you kid." Daikoku said with a loud laugh.

"what else are you capable of?? " the big man asked.

"(Doton: Doryūha)Earth Release: mud Wave" the boy slammed his hand on the floor making it move, akin to waves.

Daikoku busted out in a laughter. "you must have monstrous chakra reserves to be able to do that jutsu let alone after splitting your chakra in three ways."

the women ignored his loud partner. "congratulations Uzumaki-san on becoming genin." she said handing out the forehead protector.

"I'll be waiting to hear a lot of great things about you genin Ayato." Daikoku said with a grin.

with a small blush across his cheeks Ayato sheepishly rubbed his head. " thanks Daikoku-sensei."

the boy took his forehead protector and headed out to look for his brother.


Naruto sat at his favorite swing with a sad expression on his face.

'I guess he too doesn't want to spend time with me anymore.' Naruto thought as tears slid down his cheeks.

Naruto may have not been the smartest but he had noticed that his brother was becoming more distant since they were six. he tried to hide it but he still noticed it.

his twin had been more aggressive towards the bullies and he had glared back at the villagers that gave them those looks. and Naruto couldn't help but blame himself and feel like he was ruining his brothers life since he knew that those looks where for him.

last year the older boys had cornered him and they told him that they villagers didn't hate his brother it was him they hated but before they could tell him why Ayato appeared.

with him knowing this he couldn't help but have this thought in the back of his mind. that Ayato was beginning to hate him too and the events of today made it more clear that his brother didn't want to spend more time with him, he choose to graduate early to get away from him.

'why? why is it me that should be hated?? why does it have to be me who loses his brother? what did I ever do to be hated?' his thoughts where cut short by a very familiar voice.

"oi what are you doing here? I've been looking for you, ya know." Ayato said with a smile as he got closer.

"go away Ayato." Naruto said in a whisper that was Loud enough for him to hear.

"huh??" noticing the dripping droplets from his face, Ayato's expression changed as his body began to boil in rage. "who made you sad."

"no one just leave!!" Naruto yelled this time.

"no, I'm not going anywhere." Ayato retorted calmly.

"WHY?! WHY THE HELL NOT!! I DON'T WANT YOU HERE!!"

"BECAUSE YOU ARE MY BROTHER!!" Ayato raised his voice.

"BULL SHIT!! I KNOW THA-.."

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW NARUTO!?"

"Nothing.. "

"Naruto.." Ayato said warningly

"what!?!"

"Tell me.. NOW!!"

out of rage Naruto stood up, tearing blue eyes meeting conflicted yet pissed Violet eyes of Ayato.

"I KNOW THAT THE VILLAGE HATES ME NOT YOU! I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DISTANT BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE WITH ME THEY LOOK AT YOU LIKE THEY LOOK AT ME! AND I KNOW YOU WANTED TO GRADUATE EARLY SO YOU CAN STAY AWAY FROM ME CAUSE YOU HATE M-.."

Ayato punched Naruto on the head preventing him from finishing it.

"SHUT UP!!... just shut up!..." Ayato said as he hugged him. "you are my brother!! I could never hate you!" he said as he hugged him tighter shedding tears too.

"I've been distant because I don't want them to stare at my younger brother like that, they can stare at me I can take it.. older brothers always protector their siblings..it is my job to protect you no matter what."

"w-we are the Uzumaki brothers of konoha.. we always do everything together! remember?? you taught me that.. why should this one be any different!?" Naruto said between sobs, as he tried to pull away.

'ayato was stunned by those words, giving Naruto a chance to escape the hug. 'we grew up saying that..what ever came our way we had each other's backs...we split the punishment..because we we are brothers...I'm such a hypocrite..' he thought as he chuckled a bit.

"what's so funny teme!" Ayato simply gave Naruto a soft sad smile.

" for once you were smarter than me.." he said shocking Naruto.

"w-what??"

"you are right. this shouldn't be any different, we should be facing it together we are the Uzumaki brothers after all"

" we are bonded by blood and awesome by nature..." Naruto said wiping his tears away with a grin on his face.

"fight together or flee together..." Ayato continue with a smile.

"win together or lose together..." Naruto added as he raised his fist

"live together or die together..." ayato added as he also raised his fist.

"Danny right, dattebane/dattebayo!!." they said simultaneously as they fist bumped.

Ayato ruffled naruto's hair, his lips curved in to a warm smile.

"d-did you pass." Naruto asked in a low tone with sadness leaking from it. Ayato's smile saddened.

"Yes."

"ohh..-"

"don't worry I'm not going anywhere Naruto, I'll always be here if you need me." he said softly. Naruto didn't seem to buy it but nobbed anyways.

"besides now that I'm genin I'll teach you awesome Ninjutsu to impress Sakura." he said with a wink and watched as Naruto brightened up.

"for real?!"

"yeah.. now let's go celebrate with some ramen." Ayato said walking in the direction of the stand with Naruto running to catch up.
