Konoha's Wind

by Narutobi9980

Naruto had a good life till the age of 12. He ruled Uzu, became the strongest Kage alive, and had his fair share of cool nicknames. Then he died by Orochimaru's secret technique. The blonde goes to heaven and meets with family and the 6 paths. 5 years later, he is reborn and realizes that he was forgotten from this world and his actions undone. Time to make his mark again!

4. The Youthful Test

Yup, I'm Back, and with a new chapter. The storyline has yet to come into play and will be starting.

As I writer, I'm interested to know whether my gentle humor is actually funny and want more of it or whether it is okay. I try to stuff jokes into everything when appropriate and I myself get a nice chuckle when I read through it. Anyway.

For all the people that will compare me to the actual Naruto series, we all know that whatever you have against me is probably just foolishness and pretty much invalid,

I said last time that Naruto's happy side had taken a big hit, he got it back after another ramen frenzy. Surprising how Ramen solves everything. Well anyway, Naruto is completing the academy and it starts off with a day before the test, enjoy. I'm hungry

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

"IRUKA SENSEI, CAN I PLEASE CHANGE MY OUTFIT FOR TODAY, I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER," said a ten-year-old Naruto.

"You shall not!" Iruka said almost robotically.

Iruka has been pestered with that same question three months ago. The reply became embedded in his muscle memory.

Naruto sighed. He changed into his jumpsuit which he realized was hideous. The excess of orange was blinding. He loved orange, but not that much anymore. He walked to class.

Naruto developed the ability to truly be early, not that he is early. His two demeanors also became more distinct.

The loss of his parent figures never traumatized him now. And Naruto has mastered spy clones and dragon whips, and his agility is matrix level stuff. Kakashi made his entrance a week ago by giving tips to him because apparently, he was nearby when he noticed a few flaws. Which were immediately corrected thanks to his tips.

Naruto was thinking about the test and realized, if he showed his skills then everybody will know his true strength and then his cover is blown. He'll barely pass and then blow up with skill at his genin team. Sounds reasonable.

Naruto in a great mood, kicked the door open, which blasted open like in movies. Then he stared at the empty classroom.

'Too early? Only five minutes till class starts...'

He went to his seat in the corner of the room and started to practice his spy Clone Jutsu. But the right he was about to make his first one, there was a… ripple in the air, and that's when he knew, they were all hiding in camouflage sheets.

He disengaged the built up chakra and then leaned back in his chair. Slowly and steadily, He started using his chakra in small amounts to find out who was where. Now that he knew there was more than one person in the room. He noticed multiple ripples in the air from shakes behind a camouflage sheet. He slowly got up and walked towards the front of the classroom, he looked at Kiba first.

"Hi there, doggy"

Kiba growled so loud at that name, Sakura, and Ino giggled.

"Oo, of course, Sakura and Ino, the loud fangirls of the class. Good to, well I can't see you…"

Sasuke muttered "Yeah, loud, that's an understatement"

But thanks to Naruto's sensitive ears, he noticed that, and asked Sasuke, "Care to explain why that was an understatement Sasuke?"

Sasuke threw down his sheet and sat down. Then he looked at Shikamaru and Shino, who already gave up, knowing that Naruto probably already figured them out. Then so did everybody.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

He walked out of the classroom and made his way to the lunch area where he pretty much sat alone in the corner. Yeah, but without all the darkness and broody lines you were imagining.

He just puts up a simple genjutsu and practices until Lunch is over.

But he finally decided to get some air. He walked to Sasuke who was friendly conversing with Kiba and Shikamaru. Except for Shikamaru, who was satisfied with a poor ant on the ground, they were laughing about something Naruto thinks he heard, a party. He was curious about the so-called party. He never heard a term like that before.

Naruto has been living with just three things that bothered him, ramen, training, and the academy, prioritized in that order.

He ran to them, a swift jog and asked them about the party.

"Yeah, there's a party at my place" Kiba boasted. "Yeah, we rented a party house off of the town center, Its big and has a pool and everything."

"When is it?" Naruto asked, clearly intrigued by such a thing.

"Tomorrow dimwit, after the test. Only those who have a hitai-ate can come." the last phrase he shot at the dead last who was practically drooling.

"I'M COMING, SO WATCH OUT FOR THE NEXT GENIN OF KONOHA… NARUTO UZUMAKI"

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

The next day, he jumped out of bed, and looked at his new dress. It had picked up some dirt, which he blew away, and went out to iron it. He took a small iron cube with a handle on it, and set it on top of a stove which was also making his morning breakfast.

He went off into the shower and cleaned himself up. As he got out, a towel covering his… things, he walked outside to meet, a group of, Iwa Ninja?

He quickly ran in front of them and took off their attention from his apartment, which they were frantically searching through.

"HEY YOU NIMRODS, COME ERE BEFORE I BUST YOUR, uhhh TONGUE OUT!"

The Iwa ninja now looked really confused

'Gotcha'

Naruto slammed his hands together and molded his chakra into a summon, which then added some extra chakra to it to poof out his katanas. He quickly stuck his arms out and caught his katanas, then got into a Dragon Whip Stance. Which was his legs spread apart a little over shoulder length with his left leg in front of his right and a low crouch, which wasn't optimal for attacks, but is great for defending. And while the scroll taught from a right handed point of view, Naruto figured he could just flip it to fit for him since he was left handed. (A/N: For all the left-handers like me, your welcome!). His upper body were in a mid guard position which was used for mainly for blocking and some for dealing damage.

The Iwa Ninja were still confused about what was happening, and when the saw katanas, they had kunai and senbons, some already performing seals, and others getting out smoke bombs and rock grenades, a new weapon developed by Iwa that when detonates, sets out multiple rock shards at amazing speeds, plus additional explosive damage if victim is nearby. Had they not been confused, they would've eliminated the enemy

Naruto jumped at the people and spun around forming a circular shaped slice with his swords. After the jonin squad of seven had jumped back, Naruto had completed the 180 turn and was jumping out of the window towards Iruka's house and saw that outside, many other Jonin from their village was fighting was ninja, and Iruka was already engaging. Naruto picked up some spare clothes from the closed clothing store so that his towel wasn't all to portray his, form. Naruto started off by going defensive, and was starting to form clones and scavenging this place for all of the people who were hurt, injured, or caught in the battle. After they were evacuated to the medical tents set out far outside the village, and the hidden ones which were there permanently.

Naruto then started to set up a makeshift barrier with his clones. Naruto knew they weren't enough, but it was all he could do. Then Naruto went on a slight offensive. He saw a genin running towards an Iwa jounin, and Naruto was a fool to realise how outmatched she was. So he ran behind her. She looked back and Naruto saw Tenten, and more specifically, the tears in her bloodshot eyes.

Something in him said that she lost someone in this battle, and she wanted blood to repay it. He simply nodded, and ran in front of her, to block a senbon thrown at her from, well no one (?), when she wasn't looking. She looked surprised, but even more when Naruto put an outstretched arm in front of her as she was about to massacre the living daylight of the Iwa Ninja. Then Naruto set up a large burst of chakra, just to dispel the freakish illusion around them. But when he woke up the Iwa jounin was actually running towards them so it was all real. And by reflex, the jounin threw a kunai when his genjutsu was broken. He dashed at them and let a kunai fly at Naruto, who simply took it in his chest, gambling with his life saying that this was two layer genjutsu..

He was awake again in his room, and Iruka along with multiple others looking proudly at him.

"How did you know?"

"I left a small dent about a hundred meters northwest of the village entrance. Plus the only reason I went to check there, was because I sleep lightly."

"What?"

"I sleep very light due to my… life, and the destruction that you portrayed could have been done so silently that I couldn't even wake up to experience it. And on top of that, when I was fighting the ninja, my house was completely neat and clean, and Iwa ninja were looking for something, yet my house was untouched. And if they weren't searching for something, but there was still no noise. It only came after I opened my window to escape. And also, I have seals around my house that alert me when broken. Obviously, ninja can easily penetrate these, but when I looked around after I fled, my house was completely destroyed, but the seals didn't alert me at all. And when I woke up at eight, the clothing store is closed, but it opens at five in the morning. And if it did open, but the owner closed it during the attack to escape, he wouldn't take the time to lock it, clean it, close off all the lights, and organize the clothes by size. So, to make sure, I looked for the dent, and it wasn't there, so my clone dispelled and I immediately realised what had happened. So, I knew because I sleep lightly.

"Good job Naruto," said Iruka.

"Okay, but I need to get to the test!"

"Yeah Naruto we're not done yet, you are a very special case, so you'll have to see this before you leave."

Naruto was now standing up with his chakra building up unconsciously.

Iruka took out a sheet of paper.

"I've been noticing that you have two personalities, the care free one, and the dead serious one. They have their significant quirks, if applied correctly. The genjutsu was a way to distract your mind from the memory search and surgeries we had performed. Your brain doesn't work the way usual mind work. You don't suffer from a Dual Personality Syndrome, or a Defection just clarifying. We believe your brain has evolved, Multi tasking taken to another level. It is far too complicated to explain to you without going into a large lecture. So I brought this, a medical record about you."

Naruto opened said record and saw an image. His brain was somehow, not a large blob, but two smaller blobs connected by a very large and closely interconnected mesh of small wires. In the report below he read:

'One side, named Focus to suffice for a lack for a proper identification, is highly advanced in terms of thinking, understanding, assessment, and so on. It seems to be dormant, but activated under either battle, or during stress. The other side, named Happy, seems to be dormant after many years of no activation. This leaves the net of neural passageways, called X, which is where his mind works, it is very incapable and has no existing features other than an adrenaline provider, connection between Focus and Happy, and where his information gets stored. At times, he taps into his "brains" presumably the cause for his unusual behavior.'

Naruto looked up at Iruka, a foxy grin plastered onto his face.

'I'm pretty cool huh'

LOLOLOLOLOL

He walked into the academy, and side stepped something he would describe a green kick that whistled "Youthfulness" as it nearly missed his face. His hands who were still enjoying the warmth of the costumes pockets, started to shiver at the sight in front of him.

"THE FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN BRIGHTLY IN YOU," he said fistbumping the air, "YOU SIDESTEPPED MY KICK WITH SPARKLING AGILITY, I AM HONOURED TO BE THE TAIJUTSU INSTRUCTOR OF THIS YOUTHFUL PERSON. I MUST KNOW YOUR NAME, I AM MAITO GAI, THE GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA!"

Naruto got over the greenness that was more vibrant than miles of well cultivated grass, and replied with a befitting answer, "MY YOUTHFUL NAME, NARUTO, IS GREATLY HONORED TO BE NOTICED BY THE MOST YOUTHFUL MAITO GAI! MAY WE ALL REJOICE IN THIS YOUTHFUL MEETING OF YOUTHFULNESS AND SPREAD OUR NEVER ENDING YOUTHFULNESS AROUND. MAY OUR FLAMES OF YOUTHFULNESS NEVER EXTINGUISH!"

Gai stared at him in amazement, at a loss of words. Even his exact copy, Lee, couldn't match up with the youthful speech he just gave to him.

"I SHALL TEST YOUR YOUTHFULNE-" and stopped as he got roundhoused in the face and then demolished by a barrage of punches, by no other than… Kakashi?

"Shut up dobe, you cut out my- reading sessions- by your shouts of youthfulness" but the real reason he attacked was that there was no way he would let Naruto fall into the traps of Gai ways.

"CURSE YOUR HIP AND COOL KAKASHI"

"CURSING IS NOT YOUTHFUL GAI-SENSEI" shouted Naruto, "TRY THE YOUTHFUL RESPONSE OF 'YOUR HIP AND COOL IS NOT YOUTHFUL' GAI-SENSEI!"

"YOUR YOUTHFUL CORRECTION-"

Gai fell down unconscious, after he got a taste of the tiger seal up their butt, which hurts more with chakra…

Kakashi then got launched out of the building, by a healthy Gai side kicking Kakashi in the ribs.

"GAI SENSEI, YOU FOUGHT HIS HIP AND COOL AND THEN WON, YOUTHFULNESS KNOW NO BOUNDS,"

"NARUTO!"

"GAI!"

"NARUTO!"

And then came the most horrible genjutsu that any ninja could ever see in their career.

"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNG"

"Class, today is the test, it consists of"

"A throwing exam, a ninjutsu exam, and a taijutsu exam, which will then decide whether or not you will become the next ninja's of the Hidden Village of Konoha." the class chided with him in mock mimicry.

Naruto was called up first, he threw five kunai missing three, and getting two barely onto the target. And Five shuriken, missing two, and the other three, barely getting onto the target.

His ninjutsu exam barely passed, and then came the taijutsu, which he could no longer hold back, since the youthful eyes of Maito Gai, was the taijutsu proctor. Gai stepped up to the ring and so did Naruto. Gai raced up to him, and launched a barrage of punches, which Naruto dodged with ease, then front flipped over him as Gai tried sweeping his feet. Naruto then decided to run at Gai, fake a jump, then as Gai looked up in anticipation of a midair Naruto, Naruto kicked Gai twice in the stomach and then a roundhouse to his face. Gai all this while was amazed at the child's taijutsu. As Gai thought about how to describe it, he could only think of one word, his style was very, Youthful. As Gai decided to take it up a notch, Naruto decided to bring it down a bit, and immediately brought it back up as he got utterly demolished by a drop kick landing face first onto the hardwood floor. Not wasting any time getting up, he ran at Gai and then spun around, using the momentum to use his fists and back handing Gai who blocked and by the grace of god, noticed the high knee that about to crash into his guts.

He used the sole of his foot to block and using his remaining hand, punched Naruto square. Naruto realised what was happening managed to lift his leg and use his left thigh as a launch pad and avoid a punch. Naruto then lazily walked towards Gai, threw a few sloppy punches, which was both annoying and bewildering Gai, and out of the blue, threw a dual roundhouse, a three step punch, and elbow to the knee. He ran behind Gai's falling figure and kicked his back as hard as he could, launching Gai out of the ring. After Gai shook himself out of shock, he jumped onto his feet and gave him a big and open smile. Gai had just found himself a possible rival in Naruto. Although he wasn't close to being pressured, and the gates not even considered, a few years of "Youthful Training" Lee would become a stepping stone and Gai simply a stronger foe by mere experience.

"YOUR YOUTHFULNESS IS LIKE A LAKE THAT WILL EXPAND WITH HELP! I, MAITO GAI GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA, GIVE MY OFFER OF PERSONAL TRAINING WITH MY YOUTHFUL DISCIPLE LEE! DO YOU ACCEPT!"

Hey, free training with a taijutsu legend, who was he to pass up on that.

"I ACCEPT WHOLEHEARTEDLY GAI-SENSEI!"

"YOU PASS, WITH FLYING COLORS, AND IF YOU DON'T I WILL PROMOTE YOU WITH MY POWERS OF YOUTHFULNESS. NOW GO GET YOUR HITAI-ATE!"

"YES SENSEI!"

Naruto walked towards a stunned Mizuki who didn't even look at his previous scores and shakily gave him a hitai-ate and then gave Iruka 50 bucks.

"YOU BETTED ON ME?..." Iruka opened his mouth to explain but then, "THANKS FOR BELIEVING IN ME THAT MUCH. AND MIZUKI, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE FUTURE BEST SHINOBI NARUTO UZUMAKI!"

Naruto walked outside and flashed a grin while holding up his hitai-ate, then shouted, "See-ya at your party doggy."

Back inside, Iruka just got sleep bombed and replaced by Mizuki's secret brother, Sashuma. His plan was ruined as Naruto passed, but he still had a back-up plan, after all, no one would pass up training, that also just happened to be in a more recover and retrieve type of topic. Gai came in with the next student and shook mizuki out of his dreams and he plastered a fake warming smile to the student as he told them not to worry no matter what happens.

LOLOLOLOL
