True Jinchuriki
Growing Up
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and if I did then he wouldn't be such an idiot, and Sasuke would be repeatedly slapped.

"There he goes, that little monster."
"Stupid demon."
"I am so glad my children know not to go near that trash."
"I hope he gets what's coming to him."
"He should just die."
These whispers followed Naruto as he walked towards the academy. The villagers had always hated him and for a long time they had often attacked him in angry mobs, until that is on his tenth birthday he executed a perfect Kawarimi (body replacement) to switch with a log covered with explosive notes. Neadless to say the citizens stopped trying to attack him.
Most of what was said behind his back was in a quiet wisper and not meant to be heard by him, but he could easily hear what was said thanks to his greatly improved senses, a gift from Kyuubi no Kitsune.
Naruto guessed that they thought that such things would anger him, but he found that he realy didn't care. These people were simply fools who couldn't let sleeping demons lie –pardon the pun- and were of no interest to the young jinchuriki.
Soon he found his way to the ninja academy. Around the entrance he could see a number of children awaiting the start of classes, and a short distance away he could see Uchiha Sasuke (or as naruto liked to call him Assgay) and his customary swarm of crazed fangirls.
This is how it had been for years. Naruto spent most of his time ignoring the teachers, and training in secret while eveyone was asleep. He had started pranking when he was little to get attention now he did it to practice tactical thinking, he never showed his actual abilities to the teachers or students and did his best to look like a harmless and ineffective ninja.
He still wore the old orange jumpsute even though he had already taken the liberty of buying some other clothing while under a 'henge', so the shopkeeper wouldn't recognize him.
Finaly class started and naruto took his seat near the back of the room in the corner and out of the way, he wasn't sure why he bothered when everyone who wanted to notice him still did.
As Iruka-sensei came in and started today's lecture about keeping your kunai sharp or something to that effect, Naruto drifted off and started looking around the room, there was Akimichi Choji eating his snacks beside his best friend Shakamaru Nara the lazy genius. There not far from them sat Aburame Shino who apeared to be staring at a small beatle and Inuzuka Kiba who was asleep next to him sat Hyuga Hinata the surprisingly shy heiress of the most prestigeos clan in konoha. And finaly in the far end of the room sat Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura who were fighting over Sasuke, no surprise there.
"now class as you know your final genin exam is coming up, so to prepare you for the test I have taken the liberty of preparing a pop quiz." Iruka-sensei's anouncement was met with a large amount of moaning.
The test was easy but naruto wrote down the wrong answer for 49 of the questions. He wouldn't want the teachers to realize that his stuppidity was just a hoax. In fact knowing that the teachers (exept iruka) were mostly trying to make him fail by rudiculing his questions and refusing to help him actualy learn anything, naruto had long ago gotten into the habit of downplaying his acomplishments so that he just barely passed anything.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then came the final exam. Naruto exepted his writen exam and answered the questions, then suddenly he stopped.
It was too easy, a five-year-old could answer it right. Looking around naruto noticed a slight discolouration on the wall, a hidden watcher. Making certain to keep his motion subtle naruto made a handsign and released the genjutsu. This is more like it he thought, just for that I'll answer it all right.
After the written exam was over he discreetly watched Mizuki-sensei stare in shock at his test.
The next tests consisted of Taijutsu where he fought against Sakura and punched her in the gut once causing the physically weak kunoichi to collapse.
He then had to move onto ninjutsu and genjutsu.
When finally asked to create a bushin, Naruto mentally kicked himself.
'Damn it, fox. I stink at this jutsu!' he mentally screamed
'It's your own fault kit; you should have worked harder on your charka control.'
Naruto sighed and hopped for the best. Concentrating on the technique, he pushed a miniscule amount of his massive charka into the clone.
Just as he did the jutsu he could already feel the overload the clone would have, thinking fast he shifted the technique.
There was a puff of smoke, a loud bang, and suddenly there were six Narutos! All of them looking quite shaken.
"Naruto, the assignment was one clone not five." Stated Iruka dryly, "though I am impressed that you take this so seriously, there is no need to over work yourself."
"Sorry sensei, I guess I need to work on limiting my charka better."
"Wait, are you saying this happened because you accidentally put to much charka into the technique!" Mizuki practically shouted.
"I tried to limit it. It's pretty hard though." Mizuki looked like he would faint. Iruka stared at Naruto with eyes the size of dinner plates and everyone else just sweat dropped.
There was one thought on everyone's mind, "just how much charka does he have?"
Needless to say, Naruto passed on the condition he work on his charka control.
