Everyone assumes that Naruto has to have the personality of one of his parents... but what if he didnt? What if he had thier intelligence, his Mothers chakra, his Fathers appearance but a personality all his own.

Smart, Grey, OCish Naruto.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Skipping class was Easy, as was evading all of the idiots Iruka and Hiruzen sent his way. Naruto had been sneaking past his oh so secret ANBU guards since he was three, one of the Perks of being a Skilled Natural Sensor and bonified genius.

Naruto had planned for today for about a week, unleashing a massive prank on the academy to get everyone to look for him. However he knew they wouldnt find him as he was going to the one place his Mask, an Orange and Sakura Loving idiot whoes Dream was to be Hokage, would never willingly enter. The Library.

Naruto loved to read and learn more then anything, other then his pranks. His love for Reading and learning started the day he overheard the Orphanage Matron teaching an older Girl how to read. Naruto just listened to what she said from the Corner and taught himself.

It was that day that he also forged his Mask. The very girl that Matron had helped to read had been taken by People in Blank ANBU Masks in the Middle of the Night. Naruto could feel thier highly supressed emotions and the girls fear of these men. What had got him the most was the fact that the Matron wasnt afraid, instead she was just as emotionless as the Masked People.

From his hiding Spot, Naruto had used his incredible sense of hearing to learn that the girl was showing signs of advanced skill, so she was being taken to become one of them. The Matron mentioned Naruto, calling him the Kyuubi Vessel, saying he was showing himself to be smarter then normal and very quiet. The Masked Men told her that if that continues, she was to poison Naruto to slow his physical growth and intelligence, and that she was to start to encourage the other kids to stay away from him in order to isolate him.

Once they left, Naruto Sneaked back to bed where he stayed up and thought. His mind was far more advanced then any child, more then likely it was due to feeling the emotions of Everyone around him. He had spent a lot of time reading the school books of the orphans that went to the academy or the Civilan School, so Naruto was able to understand the danger he was in.

Remembering a Quote that said that Deception was a Ninja's Greatest tool, Naruto began to make a Mask to decieve those that were a threat to him. Drawing on the kids who Annoyed him, Like Rock Lee, Naruto was able to make a perfect Mask, one that seemed to releave the Matron and keep him safe.

As much as the mask annoyed him, it kept him safe. For the rest of his short time in the orphanage, Naruto continued to keep his mask on and to continue to steal away into the others Orphan's rooms and read thier books. He focused heavily on the Ninja books seeing as his biggest enemeies were Ninjas. He wanted to be prepared for the Future.

Eventaully, Naruto was kicked out of the Orphanage where he met the Hokage. The Old man seemed incredibley relieved when he saw Naruto's Mask, however tiny threads of fear remained in his aura. Naruto knew right then never to fully trust this man. He was weak, and not on Naruto's side. The books he read about the Hokages told him that they were devoted to their village over all else, So Naruto made it a point to attach to the man. After all you had to keep your enemeies close to you.

Over time, Naruto began to enjoy his Mask. It gave him a distinct advantage over everyone else. He could observe people in an unbiased manner, as people rarely acknowledged his presnece expect to insult him. Since no one knew of his incredible senses, he was able to observe qutie a bit without ever being noticed.

However the Greatest advantage about his mask was that to Naruto, it was the very thing that kept him safe. He could feel the intense hatred most people had for him. He knew that if they ever saw his real self, he would be lynched. He had actually over heard a conversation between some of the Acadmey Senseis about him being a Demon Fox and a Monster.

Once he started at the academy, Naruto was able to skip the more useless classes and do whatever he wanted. He had already read the Academy books, so he could probally pass the Theoretical Tests for the entire Academy. Even the classes they taught the girls, the seduction Class were a favorite of his he had to admit and helped int he development of his Sexy Jutsu.

Speaking of Jutsu, Naruto was more then capable of doing the Transformation and Substitution. Both helped greatly when he fled his pursuers. His Taijutsu was better then anyone, bar Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuugas but they had heavy Clan Training so it didnt really count. He was pretty damn good with Throwing weapons, though not as good as that Ten-Ten Girl. His trap setting was better then anyone in the Academy, as was his stealth and tracking. He had activated his chakra before even entering the academy, using the information he read from the other Orphan's Books. He was also able to Learn the Transformation and Substitution from those.

However he could not for the life of him learn how to do the Clone Jutsu. His Chakra levels were already on par with an Elite Jonin, so it really wasnt suprising. This didnt really bother Naruto, it was something he couldnt alter so he just accepted it and moved on. He knew though that it would prevent him from graduating, which was okay with him. He wanted to use the extra time to build his skills some more.

"""
After sneaking around for a few Minutes, Naruto made it to the Library. Despite this being his first time actually inside the building , He already loved this place, even if the Shinobi Section was sealed off from him as it was to all of the Academy Students and civilians. Still, There was the Civillian section which was full of a lot of useful information. Nartuo didnt care, he just loved to Read.

Knowing he had an hour or so until he had to show himself, Naruto hurriedly snuck into the The Section on Botony. Naruto, after reading that Most Ninjas Rely on Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, decided to go after lesser known fields. No one would expect his Louder Mask to be capable of using posions, Medical Jutsu, or Genjutsu so they were perfect Fields to start training in. The best part was that he could do so even if the Shinobi Section was warded off.

Grabbing a Book with his gloves, something he wore to ensure he was never caught, Naruto hurried to a Desk and began to read. He kept his senses open to make sure no one caught him. The Matron of the Library was on break anyway, so he should be safe. Still, he wanted to be careful.

""""""""""""""

Closing the book, Naruto was pleased. Being able to read super fast was a useful ability, and made his life easier. The book he had just read was rather interesting, though only the Begginers Guide to botany. There were six more books, all of which he couldnt wait to read. He wanted to take them home with him, but thought better of it. He would have to be patent and Just continue to sneak into the Library like this.

Placing the book Back, Naruto made a mental Map of the Locations of the Various Books. He couldnt come back here every day, but he could come in here at least once or so a Week to read on various subjects. He wanted to graduate at the age of twelve, so he had Five Years of Reading and Training ahead of him.

That it was secret Training in a Village of Ninja annoyed Naruto ever so slightly. He would have to be very patient, that he knew. No one could ever find out that he was skilled... it would mean his death, or worse.

Sighing in annoyance, Naruto quickly left the Library and Hurried into an alley. Once There he climbed the wall and Shot from the Library. He knew the Old man would be getting out of his Current Meeting soon, so he would be able to use hsi Crytsal Orb to Find Naruto. It would not be good to be discovered so close to the Library.

Once he felt Iruka, Naruto let the Man find, bind and drag him back to the Acadmey. Naruto made a Show of kicking and screaming to keep his mask up.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just as he expected, Naruto was forced to clean up the paint from his current Prank. He didnt mind so much, he liked the manual labor and saw it as a chance to get in some exercise while keeping up his mask with whining. It was also a perfect chance to Read Iruka's confusing emotions better. The man was nearly bipolar, loving and hating Naruto in equal measure.

Naruto planned on manipulating the man's loving side, using him as a Sheild and anchor for his mask. He also planned on copying the Man's Sonar Jutsu, it was extremely useful and with Naruto's level of Chakra, it would be a powerful tool.

Just as he expected, after Much Whining, Iruka invited him to Ichiraku's to have ramen. The man was rather easy to play, so much so Naruto made a sport of it. While he wasnt all that fond of Ramen any more after eating it for so long, it was fun to get Iruka to buy him food. Did that make him a dick... yeah, but he didnt really care.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Getting Home, after conning Iruka into paying for outrages amounts of Ramen, Naruto Quickly Stretched and hurried to his bathroom. He was waiting for the Shift in ANBU, when that would happen, Naruto would sneak out and train in Taijutsu, Weapon Training and Substitution.

It was something Naruto had done since he started in the academy three months ago. Though he had been sneaking past the ANBU Guards for much longer, originally it was to work out and ger ready for the academy. It would suprise most people just how easy it was to sneak past the ANBU, but the Truth was that most of them were lazy and didnt see the value in Watching over him. Naruto just took advantage of that.

"""

Feeling the Shift in the Guards Naruto, who had already had a Straw Version of himself in his Closet, Subsituted with it and Hurried out of the Window and Into the Nearest Ally, subsituting with a Pebble in the Alley. It was way easier then it should have been, he admited that to himself. He knew that should the ANBU ever be serious about Watching him, he would be screwed.

Still, he had escaped for now. It was time to Train for the next Few hours, instead of sleep like everyone else his age. Having So Much chakra and Life force, Naruto only needed a few hours of sleep to function the way everyone else did. Though if he got hurt, a long sleep would energize and heal everything wrong with him.

"""
Reaching his Training Ground, a Small Clearing near a Stream, Naruto Quickly got into his stance and began to have an imaginary fight. Ducking under an invisible kick, Naruto rolled Diagonally to his left and sent a quick strike to the side of his imaginary enemy's Knee.

Dodge, Kick, Roll, Side Step, Two punches, one Jab, Naruto fought a Flurry of enemies to the best of his abilites. His movments were precise and smooth, a Practiced Fluid Dance. Easily Genin Level... or at least according to what he saw from spying on the previous Years Genin Test. He knew that he would get a better understanding of his skills and where he lay as a Ninja if he could fight someone in an actual spar.

His style was interesting, a Mixture of what he saw Hinata and Sasuke use as well as what he read from the other Orphans Taijutsu Scrolls. It had no name and never would as Naruto didnt feel the need to name it.

Leaping into the Trees, Naruto continued his imaginary fight, neither winning nor losing agaisnt his opponet. His battle lasted for a Solid hour and a half, where Naruto was nearly breathless.

Once he was breathing Normallly, Naruto closed his eyes and began to substitute with things around him. A Rock, a Bug, a flurry of falling Leaves. He found he had a lot of skill in substitution, so he made a point to practice it. It was immensly useful after all.

Once he finished, Naruto settled back into the middle of the Clearing where he began tossing his Weapons, impaling falling leaves and the Like. It was a Rather effective way to build his skills, however he wished that he had someone to practice on... yeah that was sadistic but he didnt give a fuck.

Naruto uses Poisons, Politics. Eventually Takes over Gato's Company, Gets Minions in Hinata, Sakura, Sasuke and other people. Slower pace.

Smart, Assassin Politician Naruto
