Chapter Two

When Naruto opened his eyes the next day, he was in his bed and his head felt clearer than ever.. He tapped the annoying alarm…obviously it turned off.

Jumping out of bed with an exuberance that would impress Gai, Naruto opened his wardrobe, getting changed he noticed that it was getting a bit small for him. deciding it was time to get a new outfit as he was becoming a genin, preferably one that was black. Naruto ate his breakfast, consisting of five or six bowls of ramen and some water. Not milk he chucked it out after seeing the date.

Naruto heard a shuffle, looking back he saw a child, the child seemed to be around nine years of age. Another shock was that the child seemed to be a splitting image of him at that age.

"Hello brother," the creepy voice that rolled out of the child's mouth sent shivers up Naruto's spine. "My name is Ruto, your failure created me. Have a good day at the academy." Naruto looked on, shocked. "You're gonna be late." Ruto's voice slowly changed to the happy go lucky tone. "Well whatever sleep time for me." Ruto pushed Naruto to the door and walked into the spare room.

"B-but, ITS SEVEN THIRTY BAKA!...Eh whatever, transformation jutsu!" Naruto turned into a chunin he had seen the other day. Walking out of his door, he bellowed good morning to the predawn world. Then he wandered around town until he got to a shop that said in bold leters, SHINOBIS CLOTHING AND… other important items. Inside there were rows upon rows of different items and clothes. Naruto bought some black flexible pants that had two kunai pouches, a flexible short sleeve top that was black in color, black shinobi sandals and black fingerless gloves with steel plating. He also grabbed some chakra activatable black hair dye. He then grabbed a plain black coat.

Naruto started walking to the academy.

Naruto walked into the academy with the sun at his back. With his new outfit on. He walked to the room where the photos were being taken and, after a few minutes, got his id complete with his picture.

On the way to the classroom, Naruto ran into Iruka Umino. "Hey Iruka sensei. How ya been?"

"Naruto? Is that you?"

"Yeah it's me, believe it!"

"I've been good and you?"

"Meh the usual," a sombre mood flashed on his face before disappearing. "I would like you to keep my presence secret, I want to surprise my teammates. Thanks." With that he ran off. Iruka looked after him for a second before shaking his head. 'What an odd request.'

Naruto made it to the classroom at the same time as Shikamaru, a black haired boy with a white top and black pants, complete with a mesh shirt underneath his top, he also had the nara clan symbol on his right shoulder. "Naruto? The look suits you."

"Thanks!" Naruto grinned and walked into the classroom.

Naruto walked to the back of the class and waited. Eventually the class came in, all ignoring Naruto, and talked to their friends. Ino, a blond haired girl with a purple skirt and top, and Sakura, a girl with a red kimono and pink hair came running into the class, arguing. Then they noticed Sasuke sitting by himself. Insert catfight between both girls. Sakura sat beside Sasuke and Ino sat on the end beside Sakura. Iruka came in and waited patiently for them to notice him. They didn't.

"Alright everyone back to their seats!" In less than a second everyone was seated and looking straight at him. "Good morning class, today you will get your team placements. Now, before I tell you, you have to understand that teamwork is vital to being in a team. Remember that it will help you. Alright, team one… Team seven Sasuke," as Sasuke looked up, the girls all glared at each other. "Sakura"

"Yes! See ino-pig! True love conquers all." Sakura jumped up and shook her fist in a blonde's face.

"And Naruto," Sakura face vaulted, Naruto?! Whyyyy!? Wait a minute, Naruto passed? Where is he?

"Team eight, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga and Shino Auberame. Team ten, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka. Now that you are genin of the leaf there are a few protcalls you have to follow. Number one, you are in teams of three for a reason, protect your teammates with your life. Two, never question the hokage, that should be obvious. Three, stay safe my students. The jounin senseis will be here after lunch, good luck." Iruka left the room, walking towards the teachers lounge.

One by one the jounin came in and took their teams away, until only team seven was left. "Hey Sasuke, wanna go on a date later?"

"No." Sakura slumped at the rejection..

"Say, where is Naruto?"

"Right there." Sasuke pointed towards a black clad figure. "Yo Naruto, come over here."

Nah i think i'll stay over here, don't want to anger her most pink majesty." Sasuke snorted. Embarrassment was apparent on Sakura's face. Deciding that Naruto needed a slight reminder that he was the bottom of the class, she decided to try and embarrass him back.

"Oi! Stop copying Sasuke, Naruto-baka" Naruto blanched. His clothes were nothing like Sasukes and the fact he wasn't a stuck up jerk all the time, he felt like he had been punched in the stomach.

"Me, copy Sasuke? Who the hell do you think I…" Thud. All three looked towards the door. A white haired shinobi walked in and looked at them disdainfully.

"We're gonna need to lay some ground rules. Firstly, I will not tolerate fan girls. Secondly, if you use your teammates as stepping stones, then you are out of the program. If you can follow these rules, then I might tolerate your presence. Now tell me a bit about yourselves," The jonin pulled a perverted book out of his pocket, his sadistic grin never leaving his face.

"Why don't you go first sensei?" Sakura asked. "So we know what to do," she clarified.

"Ok, my name is Kakashi Hatake, I like some stuff, I dislike genin who disobey orders from their commanding officer. My hobbies… you don't need to know. My dreams for the future… haven't thought about it. Good? Your turn pinkie."

'We only learned his name…' was the collective thoughts of the three genin.

"Hi my name is Sakura. The thing I like is…" she glanced at Sasuke. "I mean the person I like is…." She glanced at Sasuke again. "And the person I hate is Naruto-baka.!"

"Tch tch tch, I said I will not tolerate fangirls, you will drop this behaviour if you want to continue being a shinobi. Your turn broody."

"Hn, my name is Sasuke Uchiha. I like very little, I hate a lot of things. I do not have a dream, I have a reality.. My dream is to surpass my brother." Silence filled the air. Sasuke is so cool! Sakura thought to herself.

"Are we supposed to be impressed? No? Ok, you're up whiskers."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, that's all you need to know." Silence filled the air again.

"You have to give us an idea of what you like and dislike," Kakashi spoke up.

"Ok, I dislike perverts," Kakashi glared at the black clad genin.

"I thought I was clear on the no disobeying part of my introduction...DO NOT DISOBEY ME!"

"Fine, as I just said, my name is Naruto, I like ramen and old man hokage. I dislike those who think they are better than everyone else and the three minutes it takes for ramen to be ready. My hobbies, pranking those who annoy me and training. TO BE HOKAGE, THAT IS MY DREAM!"

"Thank you 're not genin yet, you still have to be approved by me. We will be having a survival test tomorrow. Meet me at six tomorrow morning, training ground seven." With that the silver haired jonin disappeared.

"WHAT!"
