"Yeah she's got those eyes" one bully points out" one bully points out.
"She's probably Neji's Cousin then" the second bully says. She tries to run away from the three bullies who are picking on her.
"Come back here!" The third bully shouts while grabbing her. She kneels down in the grass.
"Go on, apologize!"
"And be nice about too."
"Do it, Now!"
"I'm sorry" The dark blue haired young girl with silver eyes cries.
From deeper within the forest a boy's voice reaches out, "let her go".
"Who's there, show yourself!?" One of the bullies exclaims. A boy with spiky orange hair and big blue eyes appears from behind the tree. "Hey wait he's that kid, that kid who's always getting in trouble"
"My name is Naruto Uzamaki, and I'm going to become Hokage someday!" He shouts. They all belly laugh from his absurd statement.
"Like a kid like you could become Hokage!" And the bully goes in for the upper cut. Naruto simply moves out of the way.
"Huh? Could've sworn I hit him?" The bully says. The other two try to get the dog pile on to him. But Naruto makes a jutsu sign. It's his signature shadow clone jutsu hand sign.
"Multi Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto yells. And poof two perfect shadow clones appear, and kick their butts while Naruto beats up the third one. In little time the three boys run away crying.
"He IS a monster!"
"I'm going to tell my mom!"
"You are a disgrace to the hidden leaf village!" They yell. These statements make Naruto sad, but then he remembers the little girl. He released the shadow clones and He helped her up.
"Hi my name is Naruto, what's your name?" He says as a greeting while helping her up.
"Um, my name is…Hinata." She answers, but right as she finishes, her advisor pulls her aside holding hand walking her away from the scene.
"I told you not to talk to that boy. He is pure evil." He says.
"But he's not ev…" she is cut off by his hushing. Naruto walks away in shame.
Later that night Naruto spent his time training with his shadow clones. Two are practicing taijutsu with each other while the third is reading a ninjutsu scroll while copying it down in his journal. The jutsu is a wind style jutsu that's let's him shoot compressed air, but he is not having much luck. He continues to practice anyways, until he hears a knock on the door.
Naruto releases the shadow clones like it's a muscle reaction and hides the scroll underneath the floorboard. He gets up and answers the door. It's the third Hokage.
"Hello Naruto." He says humbly.
"Hey old man." Naruto says sarcastically. "What do you want?"
"Oh nothing just seeing how you're doing" he walks inside without asking.
"Old man! You can't just walk into my house!" Naruto scolds suspiciously.
"And who's paying your rent?" He asks sneezly.
"Ok fine" Naruto says gruffly. He walks in to take a look at the place. It's pretty tidy, The beds made, the furniture is tidy, the kitchen does have a few dirty dishes though.
"So Naruto. Someone stole a very special scroll yesterday night" Hokage states. Naruto gulps.
"Oh is that so, I never heard about that." He says nervously. The Hokage stares at him then looks down at the floor right where Naruto places the scroll. "Can I get you something to drink, like water? Naruto asks. The third declines, but then sits down on Naruto's couch.
"Naruto I heard about the fight" He admits with sympathy.
"Damn snitches" Naruto gruffs quietly to himself.
"I'm going to Ignore that and tell you this, If you get into another unprovoked fight like that again, I will cut your rent money in half. Is what I would say if I didn't hear about you protecting a defenceless girl" Hokage informs calmy. Naruto is shocked to know that girl reached out to Hokage. "Normally I wouldn't defend your outburst, but I'll let this one go. But I did hear about you doing a jutsu called 'Multi shadow clone jutsu'?" He says. Then suddenly he hops up and opens the floorboard to find the scroll that went missing.
The Hokage looks at Naruto with the most evil looking eyes. Suddenly Naruto turns into a cloud. "He was a shadow clone this whole time!" Hokage shouts. The real Naruto was at a Dock practicing his Wind style jutsu.
Naruto says to himself "maybe I should stay clear of the old man until he calms down". Naruto makes a pocket of air inside his hands forming a sphere then he throws it towards the lake saying, "Wind explosion jutsu." and just then an explosion of wind erupts. Glad from this Naruto celebrates with a hooray. And then he noticed on the other side of the lake is a fellow student from his class. If he recalled his name was Sasuke, he was doing a Fire style jutsu. Then suddenly the Hokage appears right behind him holding the stolen scroll.
"Naruto you bastard brat" Hokage says steamed.
…
The next day Naruto gets ready for school for the first time. Just a casual t-shirt and shorts does him fine. He eats his ramen breakfast while heading out the door. Naruto finds his seat in the corner of the room the farthest seat from anyone, so he could sleep. Finally Iruka Sensei walks in through the door, and just like magic Naruto perks his head up. Probably because he doesn't cause trouble for the only person who recognized him. "Alright class we should get started where we left off yesterday." And class has officially started. Later that day was a sparring class.
"Okay it'll be Naruto vs Sasuke to start off with. Can you both join each other in the ring?" Iruka asks. Automatically everyone's ears were stunned by the Screams of Sasuke's name. Naruto and Sasuke stand on opposite sides.
"Sensei, can we use ninjutsu?" Naruto asks. Everyone else starts laughing.
"Like he knows Justu!"
"What a funny joke!"
"Like a noob like him knows jutsus"
"I was wondering the same." Sasuke says making everyone else look bad.
"Of course. I just want to see what kind of level you both are at." Iruka says cheerfully. In unison Naruto and Sasuke make the sparing sign.
"Okay, start!" Sasuke opens up with a forward punch in the face, which lands on Naruto's cheek. This makes everyone cheer like the duel was already over. But then suddenly turns into a gust of wind, a wind style clone. Naruto then kicks Sasuke's back launching him right to the ring. But luckily Sasuke caught himself right at the boundary. Sasuke does a backflip and makes a weak unfinished fire ball jutsu. Naruto counters with water style: water bullet jutsu. Through the steam Naruto bursts through the mid air Sasuke and hits him out of bounds.
"The duel is over" shouts an astonished Iruka. Everyone else was wide mouthed seeing a duel of that level. Naruto smiles with a big grin. "Okay make the unison sign now." Iruka instructs. Naruto walks towards the middle of the ring holding the hand sign. Sasuke scoffs as though this was a waste of time. Sasuke accepts Naruto's two fingers and the both shake. Then they both started laughing.
"That was fun," Naruto laughs.
"Whatever" Sasuke says in his 'I'm too embarrassed to admit I lost' way.
"Okay next duel" Iruka declares
…
After school Naruto decided he didn't get his fill of practice. He decided to go somewhere that nothing would bother him, a nearby forest he has trained before. He made 2 shadow clones for training because that's what he's most comfortable with while also getting the most out of his training. Each one had their own task. One would practice kunai, the next would practice jutsus, and the real one would focus on working out. After an hour Naruto realized that he was losing chakra quickly and decided to take a break. While eating sushi Naruto Heard noises coming from deeper inside the forest.
He grabs a kunai and then jumps into the trees for stealth. He then puts his wind chakra in his kunai making it more powerful. Then from behind him he hears "you know a lot about chakra for a boy your age" says the monotone voice. Naruto jumps forward off the tree and throws the kunai at the mysterious figure. It struck him, but it was a clone. The clone disappears and turns into crows. Then the kunai hit the tree going right through it like a sheet of paper.
Naruto tries to grab another kunai, but then the guy jumps down. Naruto looks at the man and sees the Konoha headband. "Sorry I thought you were an enemy" Naruto apologizes.
"It's quite alright. No harm done. You've got good reflexes." The guy compliments. Now that Naruto got a good look at the guy he can see he has black hair, black eyes, a slim body, and a tired look about him. He looks like a Uchiha, and might be an older relative of Sasuke. "Well my name is Itachi and you're in my spot." Naruto looks around, there are all kinds of targets with multiple kunai on them. Naruto steps back and says "all yours" and begins to walk away. And then Sasuke runs past him towards Itachi. They look at each other with confusion, but they don't really seem to care.
Naruto looks behind him to see Itachi jump up upside down and throw like 6 kunai. Then 6 more so they would hit the original kunai, so the original kunai hit their target. Naruto gasps, but walks away anyway, because he has an appetite for ramen.
…
Later that night towards sunset, Naruto leaves towards where Itachi was practicing. He goes to the forest holding sets of kunai, Hoping to see Itachi practicing. And to his own luck, Itachi was there. "Hey kid" Itachi says casually.
"Um... hi" Naruto says less casually.
"Do you need something?" Itachi asks.
"Yes! Uh. Can you teach me that move you did?!" Naruto asks frantically.
"Which one?"Itachi asks humbly.
"That one with the Kunai, where you jump and then make the kunai KrKlang! And then like splooft!" Naruto answers.
"Splooft?" Itachi asks, confused.
"He means about the one where you jump and throw kunai at the targets" Sasuke answers coming from the forest entrance behind Naruto. Naruto jumps at the sound of Sasuke's voice.
"Jeez you scared me!" Naruto yells.
"Whatever," Sasuke says.
"Sure. I'll be glad to teach you, Itachi says.
"Wait! I wanna learn too" Sasuke says with jealousy. Itachi smirks
"Ok I'll teach you too." Itachi proceeds to demonstrate how to make the jump and the landing. Naruto and Sasuke try it, and soon they get it down. And Itachi shows them the techniques for throwing the knives. And so on. Naruto takes the attempt, but he can't throw knives so that they correct the original kunai into the direction Naruto wants them to.
