I AM SO SORRY... PLEASE DONT KILL ME FOR NOT UPDATING IN LIKE TEN MONTHS. I'VE JUST BEEN REALYYYYYYY LAZY. SO PLEASEEEEE FORGIVE ME BY ACCEPTING CHAPTER 7 OF KONOHA'S REAPER.

PS: IF YOUR STILL PISSED LEAVE YOUR DEATH THREATS IN THE REVIEWS...T.T (Enjoy)

After waking before dawn Naruto had already eaten a small breakfast that included cereal and outdated milk. It wasn't what anyone would call appetizing but it kept him from starving for the rest of the day. Finishing up his less than satisfying meal Naruto went towards his drawers to pick out his new apparel for the start of his ninja career. He had to use henge to purchase his new wardrobe but in the end it was worth it. The clothes consisted of a black shirt, sleeveless orange sweater, black cargo shorts, and his blue sandals.

Pleased with his appearance Naruto strapped on his weapon's pouch and headed toward the academy. With the sun peeking over the horizon, Naruto took on a turtle's pace so he could enjoy the peace and quiet. He couldn't normally do this with the villagers bustling threw out the streets and glaring at him as he walked by.

The birds chirped and the wind blew. It brought a smile to his face. His unruly hair swayed with the breeze and his headband shone with the rays of the sun. 'Its times like these that help me appreciate life.'

Once he arrived at the academy Naruto headed toward the classroom he was assigned to wait for his sensei. It was vacant and looked like all the other classroom in the academy. Naruto always thought that made the place even more boring. He took a seat at the front of the class and laid his head down onto the cold wood. Closing his eyes he focused on his subconscious.'Oi sensei!'

After a few short seconds he could hear low growls in his head. 'What is it kit? Don't you see I'm trying to nap here.'

'Your always napping!'

'Your Point?'

'ugh, Whatever. Ne, sensei who do think is the jonin that they assigned to me? I mean, it isn't everyday a genin is given an apprenticeship.'

Kurama was quiet for a while as if contemplating over his answer. Naruto was growing anxious and a bit annoyed, wondering if the fox had fallen had fallen asleep on him. After a very long pause he heard kurama sigh rather loudly in his head. 'Look kit there is no way I can tell, so why don't you relax and wait until he arrives.'

'Alright.' Naruto said a bit reluctantly. Picking his head up off the desk Naruto began staring at the clock, counting down the time. He was hoping he wouldn't have to wait long.

Sadly hope wasn't on his side today. A whole 2 hours had passed since he arrived at the academy and he could now say he was officially pissed. "WHERE IS THIS GUY!"

Naruto had risen up from his chair and was now pacing the room in barely concealed fury. Kurama had fallen back to sleep after their brief conversation and Naruto knew he wouldn't wake up for another few hours. Naruto was beginning to wonder if the jonin would ever show up. Shard of glass laid on the wooden ground dew to Naruto's impatience. After staring at the clock for an hour he had thrown a kunai at it to stop its infernal ticking resulting in the glass littering the floor.

'Maybe I should see jiji about th-

His thoughts were cut short by the sound of the door sliding open. Naruto turned to see a tall man with gravity defying 'silver?' hair. He wore a standard konoha flak jacket, long sleeve shirt, fingerless gloves with metal plating on the backhand and a face mask. He also had his headband covering his left eye.

'A Cyclops?' Naruto thought a bit confused at the man's appearance.

"Meet me on the roof in five minutes." And with that the jonin disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Not wanting to stand around Naruto rushed to the roof. He didn't shunshin for the sole reason of keeping a few secrets to himself. 'A ninja's greatest weapon is deception.'

Four minutes later Naruto was on the roof not even winded. Kakashi raised his lone eyebrow as he watched the boy take a seat across from him. 'Not even tired. Impressive for a seven year-old.'

"Well now that your here lets introduce ourselves." He paused to clear his throat before continuing "My name is Kakashi Hatake. I have many hobbies. Dreams and Goal? Well I never really thought about them."

After a short pause kakashi turned his attention back to Naruto who was looking at him skeptically. "Alright your up."

With a sigh Naruto begun "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like to train, hang out with my friends, and eat ramen. As for goals and dreams... I like to keep my options open."

"Hmm... I see. Well lets get straight to it. I'll be testing you to see if you got what it take to become a shinobi of the leaf."

"What do you mean? Didn't I already take a test to become a shinobi."

"The test you took at the academy was only used to discover if you had what it take to become a genin hopeful. My test will determine whether you become an actual shinobi."

"And if I fail."

Kakashi gave him an eye smile and spoke in an eerily happy voice. "You get sent back to the academy."

Naruto grimaced at the very thought of returning to Iruka's boring lectures. The only bright side would be the ability to see his friends on a daily basis. With a sigh Naruto nodded his head in defeat accepting the fact that he would have to go through another test.

"Okay then, now that we're done here. Meet me at training ground 7 in 15 minutes." Sparing Naruto one more glance, Kakashi stood up and disappeared in a whirl of leaves.

Now alone. Naruto took a deep breath in frustration. 'What's the matter kit?'

'You should know.'

'That's why I'm asking. You shouldn't have any problem with this test. Your more than ready to become genin.'

'I know its just... I wish things would be simple for once.'

'That's life kit.'

'I know. Well I should get going. Wouldn't want to keep the Cyclops waiting.'

With that Naruto stood up and jumped off the roof. His destination: training ground 7. Purpose: To take his final genin exam.

Naruto arrived at the training ground with time to spare. Once there he spotted Kakashi, leaning on one of three wooden training posts, reading an orange book titled make-out paradise. Without turning away from his book Kakashi dug into his pouch and removed a clock and placed it onto the post. He finally closed his book and turned to address Naruto. "Now your objective is simple. Take one of these bells from me before noon." he said while dangling two small bells between his fingers. "If you fail to do before the given time you'll be sent back to the academy. Understand?"

Naruto nodded. Kakashi gave a look of acknowledgement before continuing "A word of advice. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you won't even get close to one of theses bells. Now lets begin."

Kakashi set the time and gave Naruto the go ahead to get started. Naruto quickly leapt out into the trees that surrounded training ground to conceal himself. Once this was accomplished he began to formulate plan to get one of the bells off of the jonin. "Okay I need a plan. He's a seasoned veteran and I'm a seven year-old with no experience. There must be something I could do..."

Off in the short distance Kakashi had returned to his porn-err book, but he had still taken notice of Naruto in the tree line. He discreetly took a peek over his book to where he knew Naruto was hiding and began to ponder on the boy's actions. 'He's hidden pretty well. Now all that's left is for him to strike. I better not underestimate him.'

After going over his plan one last time in his head Naruto stood up from his crouched position and crossed his fingers into a handsign. 'This should work.'

"(Shadow Clone Jutsu)"

A cloud of smoke appeared and in a rush an entirety of 20 clone erupted from the smoke. They dashed toward Kakashi, who was only slightly surprised at Naruto's ability to use shadow clones. Fending off the clones was simple for Kakashi who dispersed them in only a matter of seconds, but it didn't stop there. Once the first batch was gone another twenty took its place. Believing it to just be another wave of clones, Kakashi was about took take them out until he heard a hissing sound. Taking a closer looker, his eye widened when he noticed the clones were strapped with paper bombs.

Before they exploded in his face Kakashi took a leap back only to be wrapped up by four clones that had been flanking him from behind. He surprised by the strength the clones had as they held him in place.

Out of the trees came Naruto dashing toward the confined Kakashi with a kunai. Thinking fast kakashi used a substitution and all that was left was a log. Naruto skidded to a stop. Seeing that his sensei had escaped he dispersed all his clones but one.

Kakashi who had hidden himself in a tree watched as three of the four clones from earlier dispersed into smoke. The one that remained walked up to the original and handed him something that Kakashi couldn't see from his angle. He quickly checked to see if he had both bells to make sure they weren't taken during his scuffle with the clones. Feeling both bells on his belt he began to wonder what was just transacted between the two Narutos. 'They didn't take a bell, soi what could they have possibly gotten.'

He was broken out of his thoughts when Naruto all of a sudden shouted out. "COME ON OUT KAKASHI-SENSEI. I'VE ALREADY WON!"

Raising his eyebrow Kakashi briefly watched the surrounding area for traps. Satisfied that there were none Kakashi leaped out into the field only a couple meters away from Naruto. "What are shouting about?!"

Naruto turned toward kakashi with a giant smirk on his face. "Check and Mate sensei." He said rather smugly as he took something out of his pouch. Kakashi took a defensive stance preparing for an attack only slump down in disbelief.

He... Had... It.

Kakashi quickly searched threw his pouch to make sure it was still there... It wasn't. In Naruto's hand laid one of Kakashi's most prized possessions...

MAKE-OUT PARADISE

"B-But... H-How..."

"Now sensei why don't we make a deal. A bell for the porno. What do you say?"

Kakashi's shocked expression turned fierce. "And what's stopping me from taking by force."

Naruto smiled sadistically and snapped his fingers. The clone that still remained quickly lit a match and held the flame underneath the book only centimeters away from igniting it.

"STOP!" Kakashi shouted while waving his hands in front of him frantically. "Lets not go crazy."

Naruto's smirk returned as he asked again. "So sensei bell for the book. You in or out."

"Okay you win." Kakashi quickly detached one of the bells and tossed it to Naruto who in turn tossed the book over to Kakashi. Once both had what they wanted in their possession Kakashi walked over to the clock that was still ticking on the post. "Well Naruto congrats you passed."

Naruto smiled broadly and gave his new sensei a thumbs up.

"So sensei what'll we be doing in this apprenticeship."

"We'll be a sort of back up team when needed and we'll also be taking convert operations." After returning his book to his pouch Kakashi began to explain the sort of training they'll be going threw and the D-rank missions that'll start them off.

"That'll be all for today Naruto. I want you to meet me here tomorrow for training at nine sharp." Naruto nodded and turned toward the village only to be stopped by Kakashi.

"Wait Naruto. If you don't mind my asking. If you could take my book why didn't you just take a bell?'

Naruto looked up at him with a mischievous smile. "Oh that. Well~ I just wanted to mess with you." After a good laugh Naruto ran off to ichiraku for a celebratory lunch leaving Kakashi dumbfounded. Breaking out of his stupor Kakashi shook his head and chuckled lightly. "Well there was mention of him being a bit of a prankster." He headed toward the Hokage tower to give his report on Naruto's test.

Hiruzen sat soundly in his chair as he filed his daily share of paperwork. As always he found it rather stressful and tiring. At times like these he was open for anything to happen to liven up his day. The sound of footsteps reached his ears. He dreaded the possibilities of it being more paper. Finally the footsteps came to a stop and in its place was a knocking at his office door. "Come in."

The door opened to reveal Kakashi who walked toward the center of the room. He bowed respectively before proceeding. "I am here to report the results of Naruto Uzumaki."

Hiruzen nodded and gestured for Kakashi to continue. "Well for starters he past." The news brought a smile to the old man's face.

"Really now."

"Yes. At first I found him rather hesitant and irritable, but in combat he seemed rather calm and resourceful. And from what I recently experienced he is also rather cunning." Kakashi said this with a bit of edge to his voice but he didn't elaborate. The hokage just raised an eyebrow and continued with the report.

"So do you really believe him to be ready?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama. With some training and experience I believe he may have the potential to become great."

Kakashi's praise was enough to tell Hiruzen that the boy must be exceptional. "Thank you for your report. You may go now Kakashi."

With a bow of the head kakashi casually left throw the door leaving the aged Hokage to his thoughts. 'It seems Naruto is growing faster than I expected. I better keep a closer eye on him and make sure nothings wrong.' He took a whiff of his tobacco and sighed while turning in his chair. "Time just keeps on moving."

YEAHHH... Well that concludes chapter 7. Not my best but hey what can you do.
