Millineal: I see. I will try to do what you ask, although I do not know if I will succeed. Thanks for telling me though.
Jose19: Naruto will not become the villain of this story. Also, if you read my Author's Note which I do not know whether or not you did, i said that multiple people will try to persuade Naruto to joining them, as he is the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko, his power would be wanted badly by the higher ups of the village. Also, Naruto doesn't know that, and Danzo saved him, therefore he has no reason to not trust him. Also, this is not the original story of Naruto, it is a fanfic that will deviate from the original story, and possibly go back on it, not sure on that yet, all I know is that it will deviate. Also, accepting help and being a persons slave are very different things. Read my author's notes.
BentShuriken: For the sake of suspense I will answer part of your question. Naruto did not get help from Iruka you are right, therefore he may or may not have problems thinking he is the Kyuubi incarnate. But, he will put this to the back of his mind at the moment. It may or may not come up later in teh story. Sorry for the cryptic answer, but I need to keep somethings hidden.
I Own Nothing.
A New Team
Naruto walked out of the Hokages office quite tired. He had barely gotten any sleep last night, after the events with Mizuki and Danzo. After explaining what happened to Sarutobi he went straight to bed after Sarutobi warned Naruto to never steal the Scroll of Seals again. Apparently the council had tried to get him executed for doing so and Hiruzen had barely been able to save him. Sarutobi called him back up to talk to Ibiki, who had some questions for him, the very next day. Naruto shivered as Ibiki tried to get information from him, despite the fact that what he did could be called child abuse. Even though Naruto had already met the head of the Intelligence and Torture Division of Konohagakure he was still scared of him, but even more so he loved to prank him. Naruto gave the man one thing though, he was loyal to the village, if his treatment was anything to go by. He was worse than Anko, which was saying a lot.
Naruto sighed as he walked through the streets. It was the day of graduation and still people were still glaring at him, however soon he would be a ninja and there would be no point in him dealing with them, after all if they didn't want to accept him as a part of this village than he wouldn't accept them as a part of his life. He sighed as two grown men walked up in front of him, both with wooden clubs in their hands.
"Well look at this Razz, the little demon out here all alone."
"Yeah Jazz, what luck we have. It's time for his daily beating."
"Wait, Razz we shouldn't do that, after all he's about to find out who is own his ninja team, I mean look at that headband, he is a ninja now."
The two men smiled and raised their clubs.
"TO BAD WE DON'T CARE!"
They swung the clubs down with a lot of force behind the attacks; however Naruto channeled chakra into his arms and stopped the two clubs with his hands.
"You two, are annoying," Naruto said, before disappearing. He reappeared behind them, hands reaching into his kunai pouch. From it he produced nothing, severely shocking the two grown men, who then began to growl. They thought he was making fun of them. However, in all honesty, Naruto was just so tired he forgot his kunai and shuriken.
'Ugh, now I have to beat them up personally,' Naruto thought before knocking the clubs out of their hands with a quick palm strike to their pressure points. The man growled and charged, throwing wild punches, however Naruto dodged each and every one of them, compared to Kakashi and Anko those punches were moving at the speed of a snail, at least to Naruto' perception.
Naruto decided to end it then and there, as he was attracting a crowd. He grabbed Jazz's arm before slamming his knee into the man's gut. As the man held his stomach in pain Naruto jumped into the air and did a tornado kick right to hiss temple, knocking him out and throwing him to the ground. Razz growled before charging Naruto, with intent to kill, however Naruto ducker under the swing before making handseals.
"Fuinjutsu: Mahi Shiru (Sealing Technique: Paralysis Seal)."
Naruto slammed his palm into Razz's gut harshly, nearly penetrating the man's skin before a seal formed on the man's stomach. He tried to groan and shout out the boy, but found he couldn't soon after. Razz realized that his body was paralyzed.
Naruto looked at Razz. "The seal will deactivate whenever I feel it necessary, when I let up the chakra I'm sending into it, or if I get knocked unconscious or sleep. Good luck with doing nothing until then, oh and by the way it's hot outside, and if you get an itch, well it's gonna be a dick."
Naruto then walked away, still with that irritated and smug look on his face, along with his obvious sleepiness. He forgot to go get kunai and shuriken again. However, as he walked past the crowd that had come to watch the demon get slaughtered, and were surprised to see the demon brat had defeated two grown men right in front of their eyes, they all made a path for him, but it wasn't in respect, it was in fear. Naruto looked at the eyes of the people. They feared him now, badly. If anything, him defending himself just made him even worse in the eyes of the civilians, and Naruto could even see some shinobi in there. Naruto sighed.
There was no winning with these people.
XxX
"Naruto-kun," Hinata called. Naruto looked up at her and smiled as he entered the room. She was sitting next to Sasuke, which was surprising. He thought they weren't friends, however he could tell Sasuke was thankful, judging by the way every time he glanced towards the door he inched closer to Hinata. He was probably worried about his fangirls ruining his life again. Naruto decided to be nice and sat on the other side of him.
"Hey Hina-chan." Naruto said as he sat down. He looked at Sasuke. "You know, if you want to make it less troublesome for you to protect yourself from your fangirls just sit at the very edge of the rows. That way one person is all it takes to defend you, and even if they don't that's only one fangirl you have to deal with."
Sasuke scoffed. "Why would I run from them?"
Naruto sweat dropped. "Then why are you looking at the door in fear right now?"
Sasuke hit Naruto on the head, causing Hinata to giggle. While the two had just become friends recently they acted close, and personally Hinata hoped it staid that way. While she didn't really know Sasuke that much she knew that he was a lot like Naruto. It was just the one choice that both of them made that made them so different. The choice whether or not to be boisterous or the choice to be a loner. Of course, Sasuke was now reversing his choice.
The door to the room opened, revealing Sakura, Ino and the rest of Sasuke's horde of fangirls.
"The cavalry arrives," Naruto murmured, his classic prankster grin coming to his face. However Hinata glared at him sternly.
"Naruto-kun, d-don't be mean t-t-to S-Sasuke-san. He doesn't deserve to h-h-have those f-f-f-fangirls r-r-rape him."
Sasuke grabbed Hinata's arm, much to the rage of his fangirls, and shook it wildly.
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I'M SENDING KAMI A THANK YOU NOTE FOR SENDING THIS BEAUTIFUL PERSON INTO EXISTENCE!"
Naruto just sweat dropped at Sasuke's beyond strange behavior, however when he noticed Sasuke touching Hinata's arm he felt an unbridled anger well up in him, much to his confusion. He didn't mind it when people touched Hinata before, so why did he care now. There was no explanation for it, in his mind. To people who weren't as dense as a rock they would notice that Naruto was beginning to develop feelings for Hinata. And anybody who looked at Hinata and they heard the way she affectionately talked to him every single time, and how she showed no mercy, when she was usually very merciful, to the girls who bullied Naruto would know that she reciprocated those feelings.
Naruto's prankster grin still did not fade. Naruto was about to get out of his seat and move to a new one when Sasuke grabbed his arm, placing a kunai at his neck.
"I swear to Kami if you move I will kill you slowly and painfully."
Naruto grumbled at sat down, although when he looked around the room he saw all of Sasuke's fangirls glaring at him. Apparently they weren't happy with his cowardice, then again, it was either him or them, and in his mind he was not willing to give up his life for any of them, except maybe Sakura.
Sasuke smiled at that before he looked around the room along with Naruto. He was immediately freaked out. He felt like a lamb surrounded by starving, hungry wolves, and they were surrounding him. Fangirls like Itachi and Fugaku had said were the bane of every Uchiha's existence.
Hinata looked at Naruto pointedly, who just smiled at her.
"Naruto-kun…"
"Come on Hina-chan it was funny."
Hinata just sighed with a light blush on her cheeks. She never could stay mad at him, no matter what he had done.
All commotion ended when Iruka walked into the room.
"Okay kids first off I would like to say…" Naruto zoned Iruka out at that. It was quite obvious that Iruka was just spewing nonsense for his goodbye speech, even Sasuke and Hinata knew it. However, Naruto had a more detailed reason. He knew that some of these students would be sent back to the academy or kicked from the shinobi program all together. After all, they still had to go through the real Genin Exams.
After Iruka finished his speech and began talking about the teams and at that time Naruto zoned back in, although he had missed the first couple of teams, also known as the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth teams.
"Team 7," Iruka began. "Will be composed of Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno."
Naruto slammed his head on the wooden table and threw his fist into the air, confusing everyone in the room, while Hinata just had a depressed look in her eyes.
"What is it Naruto," Iruka asked.
"Well, the good things: I'm good, and begrudgingly so is Sasuke. Also we have Sakura-chan on our team. Bad things: Hina-chan isn't on my team." Hinata smiled at that. It meant that Naruto wanted to be on the same team as her.
Iruka just sighed. "You can't win them all Naruto. Oh yeah, your jonin sensei is Kakashi Hatake."
"LUCKY MOTHERFUCKER!"
Everyone again looked at Naruto.
"Something to say Naruto?" Iruka asked, his eye twitching.
Naruto shrunk into his seat. Iruka just sighed.
"What's so special about this Hatake guy anyway Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto looked at Sasuke like he was crazy. "You haven't heard of him?" Sasuke shook his head. "Well then, allow me to enlighten you. He's one of the top jonin in the village, but there are some quirks to him. He's lazy, he doesn't get serious a lot, and he's chronically late, I swear I think it's innate."
Sasuke looked at Naruto. "How do you know all of this?"
"He's my private sensei, but it looks like it won't be so private anymore now will it?"
Sasuke frowned. He was getting the same guy who trained Naruto. That wasn't bad, as Sasuke saw the benefits of it. If Naruto was able to catch up to him within a year of training under this guy he couldn't be to bad, in fact, he was probably very good, especially considering Naruto said he was one of the best jonin in the village. However, Sasuke still didn't exactly want someone who trained Naruto to train him. That way Naruto would know all of his techniques which would make it easier on Naruto to defeat him in spars. Then again, that was also vice versa. It would also prove to be a good challenge.
Sasuke just went back to paying attention to Iruka at that point.
"Team 8, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga, your jonin sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi."
While Kiba and Shino showed no reaction Hinata just faintly smiled. She could see the logic in the team after observing the boys skills earlier on.
"Team 9 is still in action from last year so moving on to Team 10. Its members are, Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka, your jonin sensei is Asuma Sarutobi. Any questions?"
No one had any. "Well then I will leave you until your jonin senseis arrive," Iruka walked to the door and opened it before giving the genin-candidates one last thing.
"No matter what happens, know you have made me proud." And with that he shut the door.
As the genin prospects began to talk Sakura walked over to Naruto and Sasuke as Hinata left to go talk with her teammates. Sakura sat down where Hinata was sitting, right next to Sasuke, with an aura of superiority around her. It was obvious by her body language she was bragging to all of Sasuke's other fangirls that she had supposedly won the competition for his heart.
"So Sasuke-kun," she began. "Wanna go out on a date with me, you know to get to know each other better because we'll be on a team."
"Hn," Sasuke responded. As Sasuke made this noise Sakura looked down at the table, a sad expression in her eyes.
Naruto, still having feelings for the girl, tried to cheer her up. "We can go out on a date Sakura-chan."
Luckily, or unluckily depending on how you look at it, Hinata did not hear that. Otherwise blood and tears would have most definitely flied.
"NO WAY NARUTO-BAKA!" Sakura screeched and punched Naruto on his cheek. Sasuke looked at Naruto strangely as he stood back on his feet. Naruto just shook his head at Sasuke and sat down, blood trailing from his lip. Sasuke just sighed. He couldn't believe Naruto let Sakura hit him. He could have easily avoided that strike, but he took it anyway. Of course Sasuke knew that Naruto liked Sakura, but this was ridiculous. He needed to get over this crush; she obviously didn't like him back, although Sasuke did realize that part of that might be his fault.
Soon jonin started filtering into the room, taking their genin. However, the only ones that looked noteworthy were Team 8's jonin sensei, and Team 10's jonin sensei. Team 8's leader was Kurenai Yuhi. She was fairly tall and had light skin with a slender build. She had long, black, shoulder-length untamed hair, and very unique eyes that were red with an additional ring in them. She wore make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. She wore a red mesh armor blouse with only the right sleeve visible, and her entire outfit would remind someone of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs were also wrapped in bandages and she wore the Konoha forehead protector on her forehead with the standard blue shinobi sandals.
Team 10's sensei was Asuma Sarutobi. He was tall, with brown eyes and short, black spiky hair, and a beard. He wore the standard Konoha ninja uniform with the sleeves rolled up half way, the flak jacket, and regular shinobi sandals with the forehead protector on his forehead. Around his waist there was the Twelve Guardian Ninja sash that had the kanji for "Fire" marked on it, the sign of twelve ninja handpicked by the daimyo to guard him. Finally he wore a pair of black bangles and bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves.
Eventually Team 7 was the last team in the room.
"WHERE IS HE!?" Sakura screeched loudly. Sasuke and Naruto covered their ears before looking at Sakura with slight annoyance.
"I told you Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei is late for anything other than an A or S-rank mission by at least two hours," Naruto said, but Sakura just ignored him.
"Err; I'll kill him, HOW DARE HE BE LATE!"
Sasuke just groaned. She was overreacting but she was also right. How could a jonin that was supposed to be the best of the best be two hours late to EVERYTHING other than A or S-ranked missions. It made no sense. It made Sasuke wonder how Kakashi even got his position as one of the best jonin in the village.
Their cries were answered soon after as a man walked into the room, Kakashi.
"Yo," Kakashi said, however he was interrupted with a, "YOUR LATE!" by Sakura. Needless to say Kakashi just looked at her and yawned, not really caring what she said.
"Let's see, other than Naruto my first impression of you is…I hate you."
Sasuke's eye twitched, Naruto smiled, and Sakura face planted. She stood preparing to yell at Kakashi, but she saw him walking out the door.
"Meet me on the roof of the academy as soon as possible, and by that I mean in five minutes, also known as two minutes. Go." Kakashi then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Cheeky bastard," Sasuke muttered under his breath as he stood and walked out the room, followed by Naruto and Sakura.
As per Kakashi's promise he was at the academy rooftop in two minutes, which rather surprised Naruto as he thought he would be two hours late, again. It wasn't abnormal. As Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto sat down on the steps in front of Kakashi he began to speak.
"Hey, I'm Kakashi Hatake. Now, let's get straight to the point shall we. Introduce yourselves, like hopes, dreams, likes, dislikes, stuff like that."
"Can you go first, as an example?" Sakura asked.
Kakashi looked at her strangely. 'I chose her because she was the top of the class in academics, even though I also wanted to pick Hinata. Still, Sakura would be a better match for Sasuke and Naruto in a fight than Hinata, yet she needs an example to understand how to do something this simple?'
"Okay, I guess I'll go. I'm Kakashi Hatake. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes… My dreams for the future… Hmm… As for my hobbies… I have lots of hobbies…"
Naruto smiled as Sakura put her head down, realizing that all he did was tell them his name. However, Naruto was going to rain on Kakashi's parade.
"His name is Kakashi Hatake. He likes reading his smut, salt-broiled saury and miso soup with eggplant. He dislikes anything fried or sweet, and people who say his smut is bad. He has taken 197 D-rank missions, 190-C-rank missions, 414 B-rank missions, 298 A-rank missions, and 42 S-rank missions. His hobby is reading his smut. And I don't know his dreams."
Kakashi growled at Naruto. "I shouldn't have told you that."
Naruto just smiled. Kakashi sighed and pointed to Sakura.
"You first."
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like," she giggled and looked at Sasuke. "I mean who I like." She giggled again. "My dreams," she blushed absurdly and looked at Sasuke again.
'Kami save me,' Sasuke thought.
'Lucky,' Naruto thought.
"As for your dislikes…" Kakashi said.
"INO-PIG AND NARUTO-BAKA!"
"I see," Kakashi said slowly, looking at her strangely, before pointing towards Sasuke. "You."
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan, and kill a certain someone."
'So cool,' Sakura thought.
"Teme," Naruto mumbled. Sakura was about to hit him before Sasuke muttered, "Dobe," under his breath. The two butted heads, lightning shooting between their eyes.
"You wanna say that again!" they shouted, a hair's length from going to blows. Kakashi just sighed and pushed them apart.
"Break it up. Now, you Naruto."
"But you know me already."
"They don't."
"Sasuke does."
"NARUTO!"
Naruto laughed. "Fine. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, training, and my precious people. I hate the three minutes it takes to get ramen ready and arrogant pricks. Finally I have two dreams. The first is to become the greatest Hokage that way people will look at me like I'm somebody, somebody important. And the last dream is to start a family of my own…" Naruto trailed off at that, reminded of the fact that he had neither mother nor father.
Kakashi frowned. If it wasn't an S-rank secret he would have told Naruto who his parents were, and also told him about the Kyuubi.
"Well then, meet me at training ground 7 tomorrow morning at ten. Also, don't eat breakfast; it'll just make it worse."
Kakashi then disappeared in a puff of smoke. Naruto smiled. Tomorrow was the day, the day he would see if he was truly worthy of becoming a genin.
I forced this chapter, so if it's horrid, I apologize and that's why. Also, the reason I did not include the test was because I plan on making it a VERY long and hard fought test. Yeah, I didn't want to write this chapter. That's it, bye.
