Just saying (because I didn't make it clear enough) Minato told Kakashi not to help Naruto until he can be self sustaining. After that, Kakashi can pamper Naruto as much as his will desires.
And Naruto has a high pitched innocent voice fit for a six year old. So don't red his quotes in his normal voice.
But right now, Kakashi believes he still has a long way to go before he is truly self sustaining.
The Uchiha Clan never got massacred. Because if you notice, most OP Naruto series never had the Uchiha Massacred. Maybe later on or something but just a small trend. Almost like the Uchiha is the reason Naruto gets stronger. Not a hint FYI.
Type in "Dragons look awesome" for a sneak peek into one of Naruto's more OP moves later on. And so the story continues, and for those who type that I will call you a hooked reader to boost my self esteem.
I like putting hidden things everywhere just for fun. Pay attention. And again no hating and lots of criticism in the reviews.
Naruto goes in the academy, Lets Dance (who said that? Guess, it's really easy).
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Iruka burst in right after Kakashi left, and before he said anything the hokage nodded.
"He is going to the academy a week after his birthday along with the Hyuuga heir, the Inuzuka heir, the Aburame heir, the Uchiha heir and the newest pair of the ino-shika-cho formation to maximise growth. This will be in two months, so train him till then. Dismissed"
Iruka went in and came out without saying anything in record time. The only thing faster was when his former secretary got fired for assaulting Naruto who was not even in the building!
But Iruka was really happy, he just got two months two train Naruto. And he had already made a list. He went back to Naruto to see Naruto clones in henges everywhere.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh training, shadow clones train, and when they poof, the results come to me, so if 'I' henge enough, I can do it without seals!"
"Right... Guess, what, your going to the academy in two months, and I get to train you till then."
"WAIT REALLY, I'MA BE THE BEST SHINOBI ALIVE AND THEN… THEN... OH YEAH! I'LL BE SO STRONG AND FAMOUS, THAT I'LL GET RAMEN FOR FREE!"
"What about enemies and the good of the world?"
"THAT CAN WAIT AFTER RAMEN!"
"So first order of business, where did you get senbon from?"
Naruto looked confused. He never heard about senbon before.
"You know senbon, these things," he said while pulling one out, "you threw one at me to poke me"
"OH THESE NEEDLES"
Iruka flinched at hearing the world best assassination tool being called needles. But then Naruto Pulled out a scroll and dumped out and entire ten buckets of the things. These weren't all off them, since these were only about a thousand or so.
(A/N: Most of the things he actually stole from shop. Small change in storyline. I realised how weird having so many things just from beatings sounded, so I'll say he stole most of them over the years)
"It's their fault that they ship in so many in one go with civilian transport, so easy to hijack. BUT DON'T WORRY, I STILL LEFT ABOUT TEN FOR THEM" he snickered.
Iruka was too much in shock to tell him to return all of the senbon back, he kinda wanted him to have so much gear for protective reasons. But Iruka was more surprised when all of a sudden a mountain of gear was all around him going way above the treeline.
"WELCOME TO NARUTO'S SHINOBI GEAR MOUNTAIN. THIS CONTAINS ABOUT 138,500 OF GEAR. BELIEVE IT!"
Kakashi had seen Naruto collect every last piece of equipment but didn't know it accumulated to this much.
Many gear hungry shinobi were already on their way. Kakashi put a genjutsu above them. Iruka noticed, but he always knew Kakashi was there. They were really good friends and had told him everything from him being his godfather to his promise of no interference.
Kakashi sighed at Naruto's antics. There is no way that anybody could think that this loud mouthed child could beat a Chunin by sheer tactical brilliance. Heck, the speed the kunai was thrown would be hard for Kakashi, the elite jonin of the village, to block. Twenty eight of them with homing chakra would be nearly impossible even with Sharingan.
Luckily, Iruka wasn't arrogant, and dodged, the best route of action to avoid instant death.
'But now trickery was completely out of the question for Naruto. He catches on quickly. That I can make out after years of stalking him.' Kakashi thought. Iruka also had similar thoughts, but on a more praiseful level.
Being a Jonin, his eye immediately catches on the weakness of enemies, and there were few for Naruto.
Some included the open back leg. Another was his focus. I was too strong, so strong that it cannot notice the evident signs of a sneak attack about to go off around him.
Naruto almost out of the blue instantly snapped in Kakashi's direction.
'Why… is... he... looking at me?'
His smut had fallen to the ground.
Naruto sealed his stuff away. He got storage seals to seal stuff, and then a storage seal to seal all the storage seals. A two layer storage seal. Implied with record time after months of practice.
He walked to the ground and picked his smut up. He threw it up where Kakashi caught it.
"You should dye your hair a different color and stick it down, to hard to maintain with such a uncamouflaged extension."
Kakashi grabbed his smut and dropped down. He looked at Naruto and said "Don't touch the holy book again!"
And then he shunshined away. Naruto shrugged and walked back.
"So Naruto" Iruka started trying divert Naruto's attention. It was diverted. "How would like to learn surface walking?"
Iruka demonstrated by walking up the tree, jumping off, and landing onto the lake in the middle.
"YOU BET I DO, TEACH ME SO I CAN BECOME STRONGER." he said again fistbumping the air.
"Heh, okay" completely shocked by Naruto's sudden mood change. That doesn't happen naturally.
A month later (one month till academy time!)
Naruto had gotten the hang of surface clinging, but not air walking level. Naruto also learnt more jutsu.
"Exploding Clone Jutsu" this is basically self explanatory.
"Spy Clone Jutsu" a clone that relays information real time and is invisible. (Hardest of them all)
And the first elemental jutsu that happens to work well with his taijutsu, "Wind Style: Dragon Whips"
Basically the dragon think by themselves and are moving, living, whips that can cut, choke, rip, and heh, whip.
Out them all, he only mastered the first one. How hard is it to overfill a clone with chakra to the point when it dies, it explodes. It is also stronger than normal clones for reasons other than exploding deaths. (True Art: Deidara)
(A/N: Naruto will not suddenly become OP after a month.)
Spy clone is still visible and relays information slowly if it forms properly. Dragon Whips go out of control sometimes or just lays around.
Naruto mainly worked on his Taijutsu and kenjutsu. Now Naruto carries around two chakra absorbing katanas on his back (a hijacked shipment to the gear store). Along with that, his hideous Orange jacket had been forced to be removed. And now he has an open zippered white hoodie (no sleeves) showing his black shirt. His pants were replaced by standard ANBU pants. Both have an orange highlight.
Naruto insisted that some orange still stay on. Iruka had some of his Contacts add some orange in it since nobody would ruin their product with such a hideous color
His mountain gear turns out had a lot chakra blade, about forty in total. He always sells one if he runs out of money. He only sold one because he got a ramen frenzy…
One day before academy time!
Let us see, Naruto has gotten a hold of dual katanas, a skilled shinobi don't like because it restricts hand sign weaving plus very unorthodox. But Naruto can do most of his usual jutsu (shadow, resistance, and exploding clones plus henge, substitution and THE ULTIMATE RAMEN SEEKER JUTSU) w/o hand signs.
But his arsenal is quite small. Three Jutsu, excluding henge and substitution, isn't a great spot to be in. But his taijutsu has greatly improved and has now three styles of taijutsu.
Dragon Whip (near mastery)
Academy (mastery)
Explosive energy (above average)
Explosive energy is very disorienting to shinobi because you lazily fight and give a lousy impression and then go all out completely shocking the shinobi and finishing him off. Combined with the dragon whip and academy styles plus dual katanas is a pretty much well-rounded style with large developments on the attack and drives oven wearing out and defense. But the others are also well developed.
Iruka looked at Naruto, "Naruto, tomorrow is the big day. Remember all the things you learned from me and my stories. Hide your true skills. In fact, don't carry anything but a few kunai and shuriken. Leave the katana too. And go back to wearing your hideous outfit. Leave it for when you show your true power. It's gonna be awesome!" Iruka was more excited than Naruto.
"Oh yeah, I teach there so I get to monitor you all the time," he said evilly emphasizing the last few words.
Naruto was sad. He couldn't train or eat ramen all the time.
'What kind of life is that?'
Iruka then put Naruto in a small skirmish where Iruka got his ego handed to him for the forty seventh time now.
After that was over, Naruto was awfully quiet, and Iruka asked why.
"Somebody told me there was homework in the academy."
Iruka's facepalmed.
The next day, Naruto came to the academy early. By about an entire five minutes. To Naruto, thats as early as it gets.
"OH YEAH, THE NEXT STRONGEST NINJA HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING!"
Naruto then entered the building completely contradicting himself. He forced himself not to walk on the walls. He so badly wanted to show off to everybody. But always keep his true powers hidden. But Naruto made an oath to himself, he will not let anyone bully him or anybody else.
That was his nindo for the next four years. He wanted to rip the door apart and make him do a flashy entrance but he calmly opened the door only allowing gentle smile on his features.
Iruka looked at his twitching fingers and knew that he wanted to show off. So he helped him a little.
"This Is Naruto, he is an inexperienced beginner and has hopes to become strong. He currently is probably the worst one out of the batch and has special case, that is why he is here and only six. Please treat him nicely!"
Then Iruka gave an eye smile to Naruto so innocent, it put Kakashi to shame.
Then the bell rang and he sat next to Ino, who was squealing about how cute Naruto looks.
Ino just stared at him the entire time and bombarded him with questions.
"Areyouactuallysix? OMG, if you are, that's awesome! But does that mean your like a prodigy or something? Hmm, Itachi was the only one admitted earlier than at eight years old and was seven and he was a prodigy so are you a prodigy Naruto, please tell me I'll keep it a secret don't worry about it." She said somehow without running out of breath. How she does that probably deserves a clan for itself.
"I don't know anything, but I think I do throw a mean punch, why, you wanna see?" he said leaning towards her almost seductively.
She blushed madly and then focused on Iruka, not wanting to be in that position again.
Naruto had also gotten a lot of attention from Kiba and Sasuke, who noticed his scalped hands, the kind you get from wielding weapons and knew he had something to him that he wasn't letting on. He had to take the full brunt of many sneak attacks. Which required a kunai in the shoulder, a kick in the face, and a mad dash away from seventeen "loose dogs" that "just so happened" to find Naruto "hostile".
Naruto didn't mind.
"Hide your power, hide your strengths, and the enemy will present himself to you, being as most shinobi obtain a cocky nature after many years of practice," Iruka himself said.
Naruto had convinced his teammates that he… was the worst in the batch. Even worse than Sakura, some believed.
Yet Iruka always kept him on his toes, never left him able to settle in to his "brain dead" state. This for some reason meant random five seconds of intense battle. Iruka was losing now 47-12 and currently owes him four visits to Ichiraku's.
'There goes my B-Rank mission fees' Iruka thought sadly. He rather loved how much money a shinbi gets. But to spend it all on a ramen eating machine was insane, and that was his punishment.
Naruto was rather fitting in a bit too much to his favor.
If he didn't know anything, he didn't get good grades, so….
Last Week Of The Academy
Iruka had finally earned enough money to give Naruto dinner six times now, and had told Naruto to hide his strength until the test. Naruto, grunted. His happy side took a big hit once the parent of the academy students recognized the "demon". And from that day on, his life became a target for all sorts of bullying. Now he has a tactical, and an emo side.
Naruto just spends his days eating ramen, training his mastery in Kenjutsu.
OH WAIT! Kenjutsu. He is probably tenth best in Kenjutsu.
"Drill Fusion" a rip off of Kiba's "Fang Passing Fang" technique, where Naruto spins around midair while flailing his katana's at the enemy. He learnt three B-Rank disarming techniques from training jonin. And one C-Rank evasive technique from trial and error- oh who am I kidding.
He learnt it by accident, when fighting Iruka who was angry due to a large losing streak.
But now, Iruka has better brilliance, and so does Naruto. Iruka learns from Naruto and Naruto learn from a better Iruka.
Naruto has one point where he is a god. Subtle combat. He can attack your chest with failure, but his true intention was to break your knee. And he would do that without flaw. He could sweep at you and steal your weapon while you were in the middle of jumping away.
Now clones haven't come into the picture yet. I believe it's best to let you imagine what Iruka went through fighting Naruto.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
