This is a Naruto Fan Fiction only.

From time to time I jumped over the wall that is around the village, and do in fact wish that some idiot bandit or better yet a group of them would attack me. I could really cut lose and kill them all.

I know that relishing to massacre a bunch of greedy idiots should not give me this feeling of joy. With the way the village now obey the law, How am I going to release all this pent up anger if I don't do this?

Just my luck only thirteen bandits and some of them were so drunk I could smell it in their breath. I went back to the apartment I had to call home disappointed. All night and not a single decent fight.

'Don't worry so much son. It just means bandits are passing information between each other that being in the forest close to this village was a bad idea. Give it a few days and they will forget about it.'

I decided to take a bath and go to sleep on the floor. Damn if that bed was uncomfortable. I slept on a bare cave floor and that cave floor must feel like sleeping in a cloud compared to the lousy bed that came with the apartment.

I got up bright and early the next day. I ran on the rooftops and there was even more cloth lines up here. I was in a hurry so I said to hell with it. I just jumped over the cloth lines.

It made me ten minutes slower than my usual time. I was still alone so I decided to do as always and pretend to take a nap. My lessons were getting more and more complex. The gravity seal on me was put on a few days ago and boy did it take work to run and jump while pumping chakra through my legs constantly.

The lessons were in fact about how to make the seal, place it, maintain it and even upgrade it. It sure was nice that my mother was such a great teacher. I will never be able to thank her enough for all that she has done for me.

Sayomi was making good progress in her lessons or so my mother told me as I finished making a new gravity seal. The theory was simple to understand. The seal increases the effects of gravity on the person who has the seal on. The increase is regulated by the level of the seal.

If a seal is level two then that makes that person feel twice the normal gravity. The downside was if a person gets a seal places a seal in higher levels the seal could prove to be fatal.

I turned off my seal every Sunday morning and allow my body to adjust that day. If I could say anything is that when you turn off the seal after it has been active for a prolonged time has some unmentioned side effects.

The first time I felt like time slowed down, my speed was phenomenal and the rush I got was almost something that words still fail to describe for me.

Eventually I got used to it so I upgraded the seal. As I got used to it my body much to everyone's surprise seemed to change a little bit at a time. As the year progressed I got stronger and stronger. For some odd reason Iruka got angry with me more and more.

Choji insisted that we spar too, and so did Shino. I did my best to control myself but sometimes I simply acted out of reflex. "Damn it Naruto! That punch really was something. You been holding back on me! Yosh! The flames of youth you kept hidden finally come out!"

I know Lee is my good friend and our little shogi club has been good experience for all members, but man did I feel embarrassed to hear him say things about his philosophy if the flames of youth.

"Sorry you caught me by surprise and I reacted to a potential attacker. Grab that bottle in the cabinet, yea the one with the purple label." Lee handed it to me and I grabbed a bit of cotton. I wet it with the liquid from the bottle.

"Now show me where you hurt." He showed me the left side of his chest, and sure enough a bruise was already forming. I told him to hold still while I rubbed it over the area.

"Naruto mind telling me what's in that bottle?" I looked at Shikamaru as I returned the bottle and disposed of the used cotton.

"I don't get medical treatments like you or the rest of the village. So mother taught me a bit about medicines and how to brew different things to heal myself. That purple bottle has a potion that helps heal bruises, scraps and burns. It also helps prevent infections on the skin."

Neji laughed and said that I should have told them sooner. "I wish I had that potion of yours after the sparring match I had with Hinata last week. You know the one she had with me after you denied that date request again. Why don't you ever accept to date her?"

I closed the cabinet and turned around smiling. "Neji like I don't have enough trouble with 90% of our class hating my guts. Her father would outright take a contract on my life if I did that."

Shikamaru nodded his head in agreement. "Not to mention Kiba thinks she is going to be the mother of his children. So Naruto what's in the other bottles?"

"Orange for diarrhea, blue for indigestion or food poisoning, red for headaches and purple as I mentioned bruises, scraps and burns. The purple you rub, and the rest you just need a sip and you will be fine in a few minutes."

Choji asked why didn't I share how to make these with the village doctors? "Because they would never use them just because they heard how to make them from me. Let's face it Choji these would only be useful for people that either don't want to waste chakra or aren't near a person who can heal with their chakra."

"These are pretty minor things considering how dangerous our life as a ninja will be. So I placed it here for club members to use. This way we can begin sparring and even begin learning elemental manipulation. But if you think it's not that useful I will pack it up and take them back home with me."

For a second there I was actually expecting them to say that I did pack it up. That was until Shikamaru nodded his head in agreement. "Good thinking Naruto. I must admit I didn't for see that possibility. In fact I think I will bring a few of my clan's medicines to add to our little first aid kit. It's not exactly fair that you are the only one to contribute since it will helps all of us."

From that day on each membered contributed something to help the club and I couldn't be prouder of the attitude and general consensus that we helped each other out. Most none members flat out called us a gang, but we didn't care. We let the results speak for themselves.

The council tried to shut us down and I knew it was because of me. They finally stopped when the Hokage, ANBU Commander and even members of the Interrogation Division would sometimes show up and play shogi with our members. To date Shikamaru has not lost a single game to the Hokage and the old man cheats.

They say time flies when you are having fun, well it also does when you are constantly busy. I spent every minute I could either hunting for food, learning, training, or killing stupid bandits. I haven't killed a villager in a while. It seems they realize the law was not a joke.

My final exam day came and as I expected Sasuke got top marks and I passed by the skin of my teeth. I knew that would happen and I would never get the grade I actually got, but it still made me mad.

I was the dead last for three years in a row and I had three more years of this? I was liable to kill someone if that happens. Well telling the truth I do kill a bandit group every once in a while, but they offered me no challenge. I wanted a decent enemy for once, an enemy with whom I could go all out against.

Shikamaru came to me as I sat down on the swing in front of the academy entrance. "Why are you so down Naruto? You passed! I know Kiba is going to celebrate with his family."

I looked at my every lazy friend and smiled. "Shikamaru I want a decent fight. I want to fight without holding back. I sometimes feel this village is made out of paper. Always having to hold back or something might break or someone might die. The only chance I get to fight to my heart's content is either when they break a law or fighting bandits. One is more of a chore than anything else, and the other is so easy I have done it with my eyes closed."

Shikamaru touched my shoulder and I saw him shaking his head. "Don't worry my friend, once you graduate and go on missions you might find those opponents you want to fight. Just another three years and you will have a chance to get that which you yearn for now."

As I walked through the forest I felt like someone I didn't know was watching me. This person had the distinct smell of a snake for some reason. I continued to hunt for my dinner and every once in a while I heard this hissing coming from where this person was.

I skinned, cleaned and put the meat of my dinner and with a fire jutsu I finished cooking in a flash. I was taking a piece of it and began eating as I turned around and spoke to my unknown stalker.

"You know I don't mind sharing some of this food. Why don't you come a little closer? I don't bite." A woman wearing fishnet vest and was revealing a lot of skin came out of hiding.

"That's not what my friend said. She said that you planned to skin her and eat the rest for dinner. I am the equally hated and feared Snake Mistress of Konoha otherwise known as Anko Mitarashi. You sure I can grab a piece of that boar?"

I stopped eating and looked at her with a smile. "I wouldn't have offered if I was not being sincere. By all means be my guest, be sure to give some to your friends too. I think I heard them argue with you about being hungry."

Sure enough five serpents came out of her trench coat and began eating some of the cooked meat she set down for them. "This tastes great Naruto. Who taught you how to cook and were did you find the herbs?"

I laughed and smiled remembering what my mother said when she taught me how to cook. "This forest is the greatest grocery store in the world. You can find anything you could possibly want to eat, herbs and spices to cook. I love this forest it's the only place that makes me feel like I am home."

She must have found that funny since she laughed as she said that. "Nice to see I am not the only one that sees the beauty of this place. I followed you because I was curious why would someone who is not even a genin come here? And why you looked so relaxed?"

We finished the rest of the boar meat and I was getting ready to leave when she asked me a question that made me think. "If you love this forest why haven't you signed a summon contract? I know for a fact that there are several summon beast clans in the forest."

I didn't realize that there were summon beast clans in the forest. I guess it must be because I either haven't met any, they didn't introduce themselves as such or maybe they found me unworthy to sign their summon contract.

"I guess they found me unworthy to sign a summon contract. I just need to keep training and getting stronger to prove otherwise. See you around Anko, tell Dog that he missed a meal because he was being too shy."
