Commentary
-With Someone/Someplace-
-In the Forest surrounding Konaha-
Naruto slowly sat up and had no idea where he was. That was until all of his memory's started coming back to him that is. He smirked, activated, and then deactivated his Byakugan. He stood up and decided while he was out in the forest already why not train. He started off with thirty laps around Konaha this time, and that took about two and a half hours, which landed him at 4:30 PM since he started at around 2:00 PM. After taking a little breather Naruto pulled out the scroll that Sandaime had given him, bit his finger, and wiped it across the seal causing all the scrolls to appear, and fall into his hands. Setting them all down on a flat rock, he took one and opened it up. He began looking at it and saw that it was all Katon jutsus. Naruto thought back, and remembered that the Uchiha Clan specialized in Katon jutsu, so Naruto figured he would get some to match that of 'The Great Uchiha Sasuke.' Naruto studied the scroll for a good three hours and got the hang of a lot of the jutsu even the Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Element, Grand Fireball Technique) which was supposed to be one of the great jutsu known by the Uchiha's, along with the Kasai Bushin no Jutsu (Fire Clone). Naruto was really fatigued, but decided he had to keep going. So he made about twenty clones using Kage Bushin no Jutsu and opened up another scroll that had the kanji for 'Suiton' on it, which Naruto thought would be good so he could cancel out fire jutsu.
"Ok guys each of you pick a jutsu, and go work on it, but don't pick the same jutsu, ok? Don't stop until I say you can or you have perfected the jutsu, but it will most likely be the former."
"OK!" They all shouted in unison and ran off to get to work.
After about another hour all, the clones were gone, which as Naruto had assumed, was because he dismissed them, not because they had perfected the jutsu, but that had the basic concepts, and were able to do them to some extent. Something else that the blond noticed was that he had a major headache.
"DAMMIT!" The boy screamed, "Why can't I do this without a damn headache!?"
Naruto started walking back to his apartment and started to think to himself while rubbing his temples, hoping to relieve himself of the throbbing pain in his head, 'Ok so I got about twenty Katon jutsu down, and about fifteen Suiton, including the Mizu Bushin no Jutsu (Water Clone), which helps a lot. I should be in pretty good shape if I keep doing this everyday. I would be above all the Genin by the time I become one!' Naruto smiled to himself, this was going great. Naruto just figured that things would keep getting better if he only cared about himself, because, as of right now it sure as hell seemed that way.
Naruto got back to his apartment soon after he left the forest, simply got into bed, and went to sleep expecting a big day tomorrow, while at the same time relieving him of his unbelievable headache.
-6:30 in the Morning-
Naruto's alarm clock started to go off, with an annoyingly loud beep, and instantly was impaled by a kunai, which was thrown courtesy of Naruto. He didn't mean to do it though, because that meant he would have to get a new one, which of course was not very enjoyable since pretty much all the storeowners hated him, and on top of that, I mean seriously! Who the hell goes out to buy alarm clocks!? It just so happened that Naruto had instinctively good reactions, and said reactions were the reason why Naruto's alarm clock was currently lying on the ground, with a little bit of smoke rising from it. Naruto slowly got up, and went out to train. The blond decided before class started he would do a quick lesson. He made twenty Shadow Clones, and got out another scroll that had 'Fuuton,' on it, which like the others was neatly printed in kanji. Naruto knew that said kanji meant the scroll was filled with wind jutsu. Naruto did what he had planned to be his everyday routine, and told the clones to pick one jutsu, and practice it.
After about twenty-five minutes, the headache came, and Naruto had the knowledge of all the clones, which meant knowledge of all the jutsu. Once again Naruto learned the elemental clone jutsu for wind which was called the Kaze Bushin no Jutsu (Wind Clone) also he learned a couple of other things like the Reppushou (Gale Wind Palm) along with the Fuusajin.(Dust Wind) At this time it was about 7:00 in the morning, which meant Naruto had about an hour and a half before class started. He was really dreading today's class, since he now knew the truth about Iruka. Naruto just decided on looking over another scroll by himself for the remainder of the time. He picked one up with no noticeable kanji on it, and opened it to see a heading that said in bold letters, 'Training Exercises and Ninja Basics.' Naruto wasn't very interested in this scroll until something caught his attention. 'Water Walking' was all that it said but that was enough to get Naruto hooked to this scroll. He started to read about how to walk on water and saw that the very first thing it said was that he needed to master how to 'Tree Climb.' Naruto sweat dropped instantly while thinking,
'How does tree climbing help at all? Plus, I mean it's not even hard to do! I was tree climbing when I was five!'
Naruto decided he would look over the section though, just because the scroll told him to. What Naruto read shocked him.
'Without hands!?' Naruto shouted in his head, 'There's no way that's possible!' Naruto was definitely interested in this now. He read through the section, and saw that all you had to do was focus your chakra into your feet and walk/run up the tree. He figured there's no way it could be that complicated. I mean, he did charge chakra into his eyes to get the Sharingan and the Byakugan. How much different could doing it to your feet be?
Naruto walked up to a tree, started pumping as much chakra as he could muster into his feet, and without a second thought, started to run up the tree only for the tree to pretty much explode and throw him off.
'Huh!? What the hell just happened!?' Naruto still very confused, walked up to the tree and tried again but this time he forced almost no chakra at all into the bottom of his feet. He began to run up the tree but slipped and fell. He landed on his feet, and looked up at the tree, with a newly formed smile on his face.
'Oh I see now! If you put too much chakra into your feet, it will blow your feet off of the tree, but if you have to little you'll slip off…so that's why this is a training exercise! This trains Chakra control!' Naruto was really happy now, for he knew all the cool things you could do with good Chakra Control, and he wanted to be able to do said things. Naruto smirked, did his, now favorite, jutsu, and called out, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
About ten Naruto's went over to a tree and started trying to run up them as the real Naruto joined. Naruto was figuring out more and more things about his, now, favorite jutsu. He had just learned that if he told the clone what to do before he made it, then it would know without being told, and that could come to great use in future fights. After about an hour of repeatedly trying to run up the tree, every single clone vanished, and then like a few times before all of the memory's rushed to Naruto's head. He was slowly getting used to it though, as his head didn't hurt near as much as it did before. Naruto sat up slowly unbelievably tired from all the working, but then smiled as he now was better at the tree climbing exercise. It was now 8:00 AM, so Naruto had thirty minutes to get to his class.
"Damn, I'm going to be unbeatable! The Kage Bushin no Jutsu kicks so much ass! Learning various jutsu in a couple of hours, doing chakra control exercises, man this has got to be the greatest jutsu ever made!"
Naruto forced himself to walk to the academy even though he was on the verge of passing out, and then something caught his attention. Naruto could smell the sweat, and slight smell of body odor radiating off of his highly labored body.
"I can't go to the academy like this!" Then Naruto got an idea, and made a hand seal, a clone instantly popped into existence.
"Listen I want you to go to the academy and stay there until I get there. I have to go take a shower and stuff so just hang there until I show up ok?"
The clone nodded and ran off. Naruto turned, with a grin on his face, and walked back to his apartment. On the way back Naruto scolded himself for not using his common sense, and telling the clone what to do before it came into existence. He wanted himself to be so used to it that he wouldn't have to think about doing it, which in turn would be amazing for tight situations, because no one would know what was coming. When Naruto arrived at his apartment, he quickly took his clothes off, jumped in his bathtub for a quick shower, bathed, dried himself off, and put some new clothes on, which included a black and red shirt accompanied with a normal pair of jeans, which were very unusual for a ninja to wear, but the blond just told himself that he's not even doing missions yet so there's no point in dressing like he was. Naruto decided he had enough time to make himself some ramen so he got to work on that. After about three minutes, the ramen was ready, and Naruto pretty much just drank it. Then Naruto decided he was good to go, so after he put on his sandals he headed out, and towards the Academy.
When Naruto walked in the clone instantly vanished in an explosion of smoke. Iruka was stunned that Naruto, who had never been able to make anything close to a clone could make one, and a very advanced one at that. Everyone else seemed shocked by it also, but not that much, seeing as they didn't realize just how advanced the clone was, and just took it as a slightly different version of a regular bushin. No one said anything, however, as Naruto sat down, and kept to himself. Everyone in the room had been whispering about the Uchiha massacre until Naruto walked in the room, then for some reason it all stopped. Naruto also noticed that Sasuke was a little more uptight then he had previously been, but that was expected from someone who's entire clan just got killed. Naruto just shrugged it off, he didn't care about Sasuke, he barely cared about him before, except for the fact that he hated him, and would yell at him everyday, but now Naruto knew he could kick Sasuke's ass around the block and back so he couldn't care less about the 'Last Uchiha' which was apparently his new name.
All the Sasuke fan girls were trying to talk to him, but since Naruto was sitting in the only seat next to Sasuke, they couldn't, and that was starting to annoy them, but it was annoying Naruto even more.
"Sasuke-Kun are you alright? I must be hard losing all those people…but don't worry I'm here for you, always!" Sakura asked/stated then blushed at the thought of Sasuke opening up to her. Then she actually pushed Naruto down the stairs, which ended with him hitting the floor hard, and which in turn made everyone's eyes open in shock. Then as Sakura was still lost in her obsession rant, about Sasuke she didn't notice when Naruto had pulled a kunai. She did, however, notice when that same kunai penetrated the wall inches from he face. Now, this made Sakura along with the rest of the class freeze big time, and Sakura slowly turned her head to face Naruto, eyes wide.
"Listen here. You can rant on all you want about 'Prick Boy' over there but never! And I mean NEVER, touch me!" Then Naruto swiftly took out some shuriken. Which in turn shook Iruka, who had been in shock at the moment, back to his senses as he prepared to stop Naruto.
"As an example for the rest of you, Sakura is going to die." Just from the blond's voice, everyone could tell that he wasn't joking in the slightest.
Iruka knew that he had to end this before anything got out of control, and attempted to tackle him only for Naruto to poof away at the contact.
'A clone!?' Iruka thought in shock, he hadn't seen Naruto make any seals or even heard him call out the technique. What was a real shocker to Iruka was when he felt something hit the back of his head, with amazing force. The Academy teacher didn't have time to react as his face met the concrete floor below, which in turn caused Iruka's mouth to start bleeding heavily. Iruka slowly stood up to see Naruto simply standing in front of him, his head downcast, you couldn't see his eyes at all, because of his blond hair covering them.
"Naruto.." Iruka said softly almost in a whisper. Then he froze as he noticed something. Naruto was crying, Iruka could tell by the wet spots on the floor beneath Naruto's head, and the way his shoulders slightly shook. Naruto's head shot up as his eyes were now blood red.
"Why did you do this to me!?" Naruto screamed, in a somewhat demonic voice, but you could still faintly hear the blond's normal voice.
"I thought of you as a father, and you didn't care at all! You're just the same as everyone else!" Iruka was now being effected by the blond's words as he could tell that tears were coming. The slight glaze his vision acquired, and his slightly blurred vision gave it away.
'What have I done to you Naruto…'
-Outside the Academy-
'This is bad, Naruto's losing it.' Kakashi thought to himself as he saw Naruto crying after he had assaulted Iruka, and then heard him scream, with a demonic tint in his voice, at the young Chuunin.
Kakashi quickly made his way into the Academy, and hid in the shadows as not to be seen by anybody. Just then, Naruto appeared behind Iruka, but it wasn't only his eyes that were changed, his canines were fangs now, while his fingernails were claws. Naruto was holding a kunai, but was still visibly crying. Iruka didn't have time to respond as Naruto brought the kunai down. Iruka braced for the slice, but it never came. Iruka looked back to see Kakashi with a knocked out Naruto slung over his shoulder.
"Don't worry I knocked out the rest of the class before they saw him with fangs and such so they wont realize what just happened. As for Naruto I'm going to take him to the Hokage's office, I don't know what to do about him anymore. Maybe Hokage-Sama will know what to do with him." Kakashi stated, then leaped out of the window, and with blinding speeds, took off towards the Hokage Tower.
Iruka sat there for a bit thinking about how all of this was his fault. Naruto was already heading in the wrong direction since the whole hospital incident and all he did was speed up the process. Iruka noticed that his students were coming around. In a matter of seconds, Iruka had wiped the tears out of his eyes, and also drank some water to get rid of the blood flowing from his mouth. He sat in his chair with a smile on his face as all the students slowly pushed themselves up from the desk, and looked around, before turning their attention to Iruka.
"Iruka-Sensei, what happened?" Kiba asked the question that everybody was wondering.
Iruka laughed and simply said, "Sorry guys I just thought I would show you an example of Genjutsu by putting you all to sleep with one."
Then he noticed a worried look come to almost every single one of their faces, Iruka then noticed that Sakura was about to talk, so he turned his full attention on her.
"Iruka-Sensei…what happened to Naruto? He didn't hurt you to badly did he?" Iruka's eyes widened, but they returned back to normal before any of the students could notice. After some quick thinking Iruka chuckled,
"Sorry…I guess I shouldn't have done that." Everyone raised an eyebrow at Iruka, clearly confused as to what he was talking about. Causing Iruka to let out slight chuckle, and inwardly sighed in relief, because his plan seemed to be working.
"Actually Sakura…that didn't happen." Everyone's eyes widened as the confused look came back, before Kiba stood up,
"What do you mean it didn't happen Iruka-Sensei!? We watched him attack you!"
Iruka scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Actually you were in the Genjutsu when you saw that. I decided to use Naruto as an example simply, because he wasn't here, and well…if I would have used anyone in this room that would have made two of that person, which would let you know instantly that it was a Genjutsu, you understand?" The whole class nodded, before Sakura spoke up again, a hint of fear in her voice,
"So…Naruto never attacked me?" Iruka once again just scratched the back of his head sheepishly, but this time throwing in a chuckle,
"I knew I shouldn't have done that…but to answer your question Sakura, no, Naruto never came to class at all today, so obviously there is no way he could have attacked you.
Iruka, once again, mentally sighed in relief, as the entire class seemed to believe his lie.
-At the Hokage Tower-
Kakashi had quickly made his way to the Hokage Tower. He was still carrying Naruto over his shoulder as he walked into the building. He simply nodded at the ninja that were walking around the building, and walked up to the Hokage's office knocking at the door.
"Come in" Was the response from the Hokage. Sandaime looked up and saw Naruto's limp body hanging over Kakashi's shoulder. "What happened Kakashi?"
"Naruto went berserk on Iruka, when he tried to stop him from killing Sakura Haruno," Kakashi said as if he was reporting a mission.
"I see." Was all Sandaime said back, then, "You may leave now Kakashi just leave Naruto here please I wish to talk with him about this situation."
Kakashi just nodded, set Naruto down on the Hokage's desk, and then vanished. Sandaime just sat there looking at Naruto, and then started thinking about what exactly to do with the boy. He was thinking of making a jutsu so Naruto would forget his memory's but that would be cruel, because even if Naruto did have a bad past he deserved to know about it. He also thought about giving Naruto a private teacher, but that wouldn't do either because no one except for probably Kakashi would teach Naruto, and he was the Anbu Captain so that couldn't happen unless he left Anbu. Sandaime sighed and came to his decision on what to do with Naruto. Sandaime was snapped out of his thoughts as Naruto slowly sat up and looked around then at Sandaime.
"Hey Ojiisan. What am I doing here?" Naruto asked, clearly confused.
Sandaime smiled at Naruto and said, "Well I brought you here, but you fell asleep on me when I got you from the academy."
Naruto looked shocked. He didn't remember any of that, all he remembered was Iruka attacking him, well in the boys head at least, then it was all just a blur. Naruto didn't say anything though, just because, this was coming from the one person he could trust in this village.
"Naruto…listen, I'm going to take you out of the academy, b-" Sandaime was cut off by Naruto.
"Wait Ojiisan! I want to be a ninja! I can't leave the academy no matter how much I despise it!" Naruto commented, and to this Sandaime just sighed.
"Naruto listen, you didn't let me finish. I'm taking you out of the academy but, you will still become a ninja, and a very strong one I believe, but what you will have to do is train yourself so when the time comes you will go back and take the Genin exam, and if you pass then, you're a Genin. Got it?" Sandaime asked to Naruto.
"Wait…so I don't have to see Iruka-Sensei or any of the class again do I?" Naruto asked clearly shocked, but happy nonetheless.
"No" Sandaime sadly stated, he was very unhappy by the fact that Naruto was so joyous about not seeing his class or teacher anymore.
Naruto exploded, to say the least, he instantly ran over, and hugged the old man very tightly, all while saying repeatedly, "Thank you so much Ojiisan!"
Sandaime smiled sadly, but it was a smile nonetheless, at the way Naruto was acting. Then Sandaime waited until Naruto calmed down to start talking again. "Ok Naruto, now this is going to be my gift to you."
At this Naruto looked confused as Sandaime continued. "Ok Naruto, the scrolls that you took from me awhile ago, once your done with those, and only when your done with those I want you to come back and talk to me, and also-" Sandaime stopped for a second, and got something from his desk, which was revealed to be weights in the form of wrist band, the thing that confused Naruto however was that they were clear, and every wrist band weight Naruto had ever seen had a distinct color, which in turn verified the weight. Still, Naruto got excited at the thought of getting faster. Since Naruto had lost his eye he had started reading lots of books about various ninja things, and that's how he knew so much about said things.
"Ok Naruto as you can tell these are weights, but not just any weights these are chakra weights."
At this Naruto looked more confused then he previously did. Sandaime chuckled and continued to explain. "When you add Chakra to these weights they get heavier, so you don't have to add more weights or anything. These are very expensive Naruto, and they are also my gift to you." Sandaime smiled at Naruto who was in shock at what he had just received. Naruto looked up at Sandaime.
"Ojiisan are you sure you want to give these to me? I mean you could give it to someone else." At this Sandaime just laughed.
"Naruto, there isn't anyone who I would want to have those more than you! Now take them. As I said they're a gift from me." Naruto's face lit up as he hugged the old man once more, and then went to put the weights around his ankles. Which caused Sandaime to laugh.
"Naruto those are for your wrists you know." Sandaime stated. At this Naruto just nodded then stood up.
"Yeah I know, but the way I think of it, if I put them around my ankles then they will make me faster instead of making my hands faster. Eventually I'm going to get another pair for my wrists, but as of right now I think speed in the feet is more important."
Sandaime didn't know what to say. Naruto had to be a lot smarter then he looked. The way he handled himself, and the way he talked definitely proved that. Now however he was thinking a lot more logically the way Sandaime saw him. In the end, however Sandaime just smiled and nodded in agreement with Naruto's statement.
Naruto began to charge some charka into his weights to feel his legs getting heavier just from the added weight, which was about twenty-five to each leg at the moment. Naruto looked down at the weights, and noticed that they had turned blood red. Naruto smirked at this, as he knew it was the Kyuubi's chakra that caused it, but what shocked Naruto more than the change of color was the fact that on top of the blood red bands a form began to shape, and after a couple of seconds it turned out to be a fox. Naruto once again just smirked as his two favorite colors, which were red and black, were now the color of his weights, seeing as the inscription of the fox was black, and he didn't even have to get them custom made. Naruto then began to walk around, and started to jump up and down getting used to the weight. After a couple minutes of adjusting Naruto turned to Sandaime and bit his thumb, pulled out a scroll, wiped the blood across it, and then caught some scrolls that fell into his hands. Naruto looked through some of the scrolls then took three out and handed them to Sandaime.
"Here you go Ojiisan I already know all of these jutsu so I don't need these scrolls anymore." Now to say Sandaime was shocked was an understatement. There was no way Naruto could have possibly learned every single jutsu in each of these scrolls. There was about twenty jutsu in each. It just wasn't possible.
"Naruto I hate to go against your words, but…how is it possible that you learned all of the jutsu in those scrolls in this short amount of time?" Naruto's face just acquired a huge grin, which stunned the already shocked Sandaime.
"I learn about twenty jutsu a day from the scrolls so I learn about a scroll a day and there was three scrolls and I got the scrolls three days ago…it makes sense."
"Yes, but how do you learn the jutsu so fast?" Sandaime asked still very confused.
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu." Naruto said simply, which made Sandaime's eyes go wide.
'There is no possible way Naruto learned the secret of the Kage Bushin no Jutsu already!? That's amazing!…Naruto…you truly are a genius, no doubt about it.'
"I see." Sandaime said in a calm matter, which was totally different from his mindscape.
Naruto smiled at Sandaime, then turned and started to leave to do some training of his own, when Sandaime put his hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"…" Naruto had frozen in place; the only thing that could be seen was his shaking. It was very visible, and it was quite heavily.
"Naru-" Sandaime was cut off by an elbow in his face by none other than Naruto.
Sandaime was shocked until he looked at Naruto. Naruto was freaking out he had a kunai out and a bloody spot in his leg from where Sandaime guessed he had stabbed himself to gain his mobility again. Sandaime once again noticed something very shocking to him…Naruto wasn't even looking at him.
'Naruto must have been replaying the night he was attacked.' Sandaime assumed as he saw Naruto fall to the ground holding his hands over his right eye, or where his right eye used to be. Sandaime immediately ran over to snap Naruto out of it, but when he got over Naruto slowly sat up. Sandaime looked at Naruto with worry etched on his face. Naruto just looked at Sandaime and laughed.
"Sorry about that..." Was all Naruto said as he stood up, and jumped out of the window.
Sandaime didn't know what to do. Naruto went into frantic mode just by being touched on the shoulder. He had no idea what anything else would do to the young Jinchuuriki. Sandaime decided that whoever ended up being Naruto's sensei would get a little talk from him about Naruto's condition.
-Somewhere in Konaha-
Naruto jumped out of the Hokage Tower window, then as soon as he hit the ground, took off, and had no idea where he was going. He hadn't planned on anything after he left, honestly he hadn't even planned to jump out the window, it just sort of happened. When Naruto stopped, he was in the forest outside of Konaha. Therefore, he decided he might as well train.
-A few years later-
For the next couple of years Naruto pretty much lived in the forest surrounding Konaha. The only time he ever left was to get something from a store in Konaha, which was really just ramen from Ichiraku's. The only other exception was when Naruto went to exchange scrolls from the Hokage's Office. To say Naruto knew a lot of jutsu was an understatement. He knew all the basic jutsus of all the elements, and he also knew how to do all the training exercises. His weights were up to one hundred each and Sandaime had given Naruto another pair for his birthday last year and those he put around his wrists. All together, his gained weight was about 350 pounds, seeing as he set his wrist weights to 75 pounds each. Naruto could walk on water, climb trees with no hands, and could blow chakra out of his chakra pores without even thinking about it now, which was quite a feat for someone who wasn't even a Genin yet. The one thing he still needed to learn however, was the all so famous Jyuuken (Gentle Fist) of the Hyuuga. Naruto didn't rush this however, because he had a feeling he would get to see it at some time in the future. Naruto usually wore either a black or a red shirt with black pants along with a kunai holster taped around his right leg. He still wore his cloth bandages over his eye, but to Naruto now it was as if his eye was never hurt in the first place. He didn't even mind everything being outlines now because it didn't affect him in any way whatsoever. Naruto was currently doing some chin-ups on a, thick, branch of a tree when an Anbu member appeared.
"Are you Naruto Uzumaki?" The Anbu member asked, in a rather bored tone.
"What the hell do you want?" A now ten-year-old Naruto asked, not bothering to hide his annoyance.
"…The Hokage wishes to see you." The Anbu responded in an equally annoyed tone.
"Very well." Naruto simply said, and instantly the, rather pissed off, Anbu, was gone.
'Eighteen….Nineteen….Twenty!" Naruto finished his chin-ups, and took off towards the Hokage Tower.
-In the Hokage's Office-
'I wonder if Naruto will agree to this or not…he's not one to talk to people that much anymore.' Sandaime thought to himself, until he saw the office door open and Naruto walking in. The blond smiled at Sandaime, then waited for him to speak.
"Hello Naruto. The reason I have called you here, and before you say anything hear me out…the reason I have called you here is because, Iruka's class at the academy is going to be sparring today, and I was wondering if you would like to join them…just for today may I remind you." At this, Naruto's eyes widened, and then a smirk made its way to Naruto's face.
"Sure." Naruto answered then walked out the door, heading for the Academy.
Sandaime sighed; he hoped this wouldn't turn out to badly.
Naruto was really excited about being able to fight someone or something that wasn't a clone, and the fact that he got to do it in front of others was just a bonus. He wasn't going his full speed to get to the academy however; he didn't want to show his full strength to anyone there. As Naruto got closer, he started to see the outlines of some people outside of the Academy, which only excited him further.
-Outside of the Ninja Academy-
Iruka had paired everyone up according to who he thought was closest, strength wise, but there was a bit of a problem. No one could match up with Sasuke. Iruka tried to think of someone who wouldn't get completely destroyed by the boy, but he couldn't. Also along with that, came the inevitable fact that he had an odd number of students in his class so he couldn't have had pairs without someone being left out anyway. Iruka sighed and decided he was going to simply pin Sasuke against two other students, and have them fight, that would be a tad more fair for Sasuke, and it would even out the groups.
"Ok Sasuke, I want you to-" A certain blonde-haired, ten year old appeared in a tree nearby, and caught the sight of Iruka. "Spar with Naruto." Iruka finished off with a smile. Iruka was really interested to see how much Naruto had improved. Iruka didn't think that the blond would be able to beat the Uchiha of course, but he wanted to see if he could at least put up a good fight against the prodigy.
When Naruto heard whom he was going to fight, he couldn't help but smirk. He knew this was going to be very fun for him, but not so much for the Uchiha. Not that he cared or anything. Actually he was glad that the Uchiha would get the living shit beat out of him, and the fact that is was by none other than himself was just a bonus. It would bring the prick down a few notches.
Sasuke also got a smirk on his face when he heard who he was going to spar. He was thinking along the same lines as Naruto, except he saw himself winning this fight without even breaking a sweat, not Naruto. Naruto and Sasuke both walked to the center of the area that the class was sparring in, as the class stopped to watch this fight.
Most of the people that saw Naruto had to do a double take, just to make sure they weren't just seeing things. Naruto was very different from before. First off, he wore a red t-shirt and black baggy pants, not the black t-shirt and white shorts he had always wore. On top of that, he looked like he could easily kill without remorse, which scared many kids out of their minds. Naruto had totally changed.
Its not like Sasuke didn't notice the changes, I mean it was somewhat hard not to, but they didn't seem to faze him. Sasuke just kept in mind that he was fighting the 'Dobe' and that calmed him down dramatically. Now Naruto on the other hand still had a smirk on his face. He was going to enjoy making Sasuke realize that he wasn't the greatest thing that ever happened to the world, and that people could beat him.
Iruka was looking at Naruto and was stunned at what he saw. Naruto…yes Naruto, the prankster, hadn't shown one emotion excluding the smirk that had been present since he arrived. Iruka was actually starting to wonder if Naruto might be able to take on the Uchiha just by his appearance, Naruto looked a lot stronger then he used to, and that was no lie of course, but Sasuke didn't know that, and either did anybody else, even if they thought it. Looks didn't mean anything in the world or Shinobi, and everyone was excited to see if Naruto was actually as good as he looked.
Iruka slowly walked out to the center, right between Naruto and Sasuke, who were both still smirking at the thought of making the other look like a dumbass by beating the hell out of them in front of the entire class.
"Go!" Was all Iruka said as he jumped out of the way.
Naruto stepped back and made a hand seal then called out, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" as five more Naruto's appeared around the original. Now Iruka was in shock, he just couldn't comprehend that Naruto could do a forbidden jutsu with such ease, yes, he had seen the clone before in the Academy during Naruto's 'flip out,' but Iruka just figured that, that was the only one he could make. 'How strong are you Naruto?' Was the only thing Iruka was able to think in all the shock.
Sasuke was also in shock, but quickly composed himself, then noticed something that shocked him more then anything had before. Naruto was dead serious. He had no emotion shown on his face at all. It actually kind of creeped Sasuke out.
Just as Sasuke was gaining back him composure all of the clones ran at Sasuke with speeds that even shocked Iruka, and just as Sasuke had seen the clones take off he was hit in the face, hard. Sasuke flew back through the air and landed on his back, quickly getting back up. Sasuke looked over to Naruto who still had no emotion on his face at all, and as Sasuke was looking at Naruto, his clones snuck around the young Uchiha. Sasuke was still staring when he was snapped out of his trance by hands around his ankles. Sasuke looked down in shock only to be lifted up by a clone that had been buried underground, and thrown with great force, forward. Sasuke was met with a fist to the face and he tumbled backwards and slowly got up. He looked over at Naruto who hadn't even broken a sweat while he himself was breathing rather heavily.
To say everyone that was watching was stunned was a huge understatement. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Naruto was actually beating Sasuke in a spar.
Not to mention that Naruto was hitting Sasuke and he hadn't even landed one blow on Naruto. What shocked them all the most though, was that these were just clones that were assaulting Sasuke. Naruto was standing off in the distance, he hadn't even moved from his spot. Not to mention he hadn't shown any emotion on his face, at all, the whole time the fight had been going on.
Sasuke charged this time as he hit each of the clones, which caused them to vanish; he then smirked again, and ran straight at Naruto. Naruto just stood there like there wasn't a crazed person running at him. When the time came for Naruto to dodge Sasuke's fist he did just that. He ducked under his fist and quickly punched Sasuke in the stomach making Sasuke cough a little bit of blood up. He then turned and kicked him in the face with tremendous force. At this time, Iruka came in and stopped the match.
"Ok guys the match is over everyone take a bre-" Iruka was cut off by Sasuke charging at Naruto again. This time he was making hand seals and was beyond pissed off.
"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu! (Fire Style - Art of the Phoenix Flower)" Sasuke yelled before releasing a huge stream of fire from inside his mouth. While Sasuke was blowing the fire out of his mouth, he thought he saw Naruto's visible eye go red for a second before it went back to normal. Just as the jutsu was about to hit Naruto, he screamed out.
"Suiton Daibakufu no Jutsu! (Water Type: Explosion Skill)"
The two attacks collided, steam filled the air only to reveal Sasuke panting heavily, and Naruto lying on the floor burnt. Iruka and pretty much the rest of the class were in shock at what they saw. There was just no way that after all that Naruto had done to Sasuke that one jutsu could take him down and on top of that, Naruto parried it with a Suiton jutsu. It just wasn't logically possible. Iruka knew for a fact that Sasuke wasn't that strong when it came to jutsu even if he thought he was, so there was no reason Naruto should have even been touched by the jutsu. Sasuke started walking back to the rest of the class with a smirk on his face.
"That was too easy." Sasuke said trying to act as unemotional as he could. Just as Sasuke was about to walk into the group of students he was hit in the face and sent flying towards a tree. When he was about to hit said tree, another Naruto jumped out from behind it and kicked Sasuke in the back. The momentum made the kick a lot worse then it actually was, and Naruto heard a few faint cracks come from the impact.
Once again, a Naruto came out of the ground and kicked Sasuke in the back of the head sending him flying forward. Sasuke was slowly, but surely losing consciousness. Sasuke looked at the feet walking towards him, and then he saw Naruto's face pop into his line of vision, with the same unemotional expression as before. Naruto just looked at him and smirked,
"Yeah, as if that would stop me. You let your guard down, and it cost you the match. If you were as good as you think you are, then you would have realized that a Katon jutsu almost never beats a Suiton jutsu, but you were so sure of yourself that you didn't even think about it, and that's what lost it for you."
With that, Naruto started to walk away, and Sasuke's anger was rising by the second, until he jumped up and went to punch Naruto in the back. The fist connected, but only for that Naruto to poof away. Sasuke didn't have a chance to recover as he felt a crushing force against the side of his face, as he flew backwards into a tree. As soon as Sasuke made contact with the tree so did a kunai about an inch away from Sasuke's head. The last thing Sasuke saw was Naruto standing there with that same stupid unemotional face on, and then everything went black on him.
The entire class was dead silent they didn't know what to say or how to react to what they had just seen. Naruto the dead last of their class, well when he left, had just bested, 'The Great Sasuke Uchiha,' and without even breaking a sweat in the process. Someone had to speak up and that person ended up being Kiba.
"What the hell just happened!? How the hell did Naruto just beat the hell out of Sasuke?!" Kiba then turned to Naruto. "Naruto! what the hell have you been doing all the time you've been gone!?"
"Training." Was all that Naruto said as he walked away.
The whole class just stood there stunned. It's not as if they didn't believe that Naruto had trained all this time, I mean it was hard not to believe. What was hard to believe however was that Naruto had trained the whole time. Naruto was the type of person to not care at all and complain when something didn't go his way. Not the type to go out and train non-stop, turn emotionless, then come in and kick the top students ass in a matter of minutes. As Naruto was walking away, he smirked to himself about his newly acquired jutsu he just received from the Uchiha.
'That worked out nicely. I got a new jutsu, and I got to kick Sasuke's ass.' Naruto thought to himself smirking the whole time. Naruto decided he might as well just head back to the forest to train some more. There was no way he could get stronger if he was just sitting around his house.
-In the Hokage's Office-
"So he beat the Uchiha then?" Sandaime asked quite interested.
Iruka nodded, "It was more like 'destroyed,' but yes he beat Sasuke. He was like a totally different person when he fought."
"Well that could be considered good thing seeing as he was always playing pranks before." Sandaime said, truth evident in his words.
Iruka once again nodded, "Yes, but I don't think it's good for someone so young to show so little emotion, and interact with others so rarely."
Sandaime sighed and nodded, "Yes your quite right Iruka, but there's nothing we can do at them moment. He doesn't trust anyone except myself. Hopefully when he is put on a team he will become more emotional and not be so cold towards others.
"Yeah…I sure hope so."
-Out in the Forest surrounding Konaha-
Naruto had completely and totally worn himself out of any energy he once had. He was lying on the forest floor panting heavily. Naruto knew that without his weights, he was fast, but he also knew he wasn't fast enough. Naruto knew for a fact that he would come up against people that were a lot faster and stronger than him in the future, and he kept that in mind whenever he trained just for motivational purposes.
'Dammit…I'm still to slow!' Naruto thought to himself as he forced chakra into the weights. Naruto fell to the ground unable to move. His severe exhaustion was affecting him in the worst ways. Naruto decided he would just take a little nap until Kyuubi healed him, and then he would go back to training.
'I don't think that a little rest will hurt me too much, I mean, if it does I just wont take anymore breaks and I'll work extra hard for the next two weeks to make up for my lost time. Naruto was soon snoring with his arms and legs spread out no longer feeling the weight that was actually occupying them.
-At the Academy-
Iruka had just got back from his meeting with the Hokage and was getting ready to start teaching again, when he heard some of his students talking. Iruka decided he would just listen a little to know what everyone was talking about at the moment.
Kiba was talking the loudest with the other students around him, so Iruka thought he would listen to that conversation.
"Yeah, I know that was just plain out crazy! I still can't believe how different Naruto was…I remember when we used to cut out of class together. It's really weird seeing him like this." Kiba said sadly, thinking of old times.
"Yeah it is kind of sad that Naruto changed so much, but from what I saw he also got a lot smarter too. He used his clones to get some information about Sasuke before he actually attacked him head on. In addition, the jutsu Sasuke used was either a C or B ranked jutsu, and that means Naruto's was either B or A easily. That's really impressive being able to use jutsu that strong at this age." Shikamaru added to the conversation.
"Yeah I would have to agree with Shikamaru on that one. As of right now Naruto could easily take on any of us, and probably most of the Genin in our village." Choji commented.
Some of the females were even talking about what happened.
"I still don't think that was Sasuke-kun that got beat. I mean there's no way that Sasuke-kun could lose to anyone. He's the best of the best." Ino stated getting a nod of agreement from all the other girls around her, excluding Hinata.
"But did you guys see how fast and strong Naruto was? Even if he wasn't fighting Sasuke-kun that was still really impressive. I mean I don't think I could ever become that strong and Naruto did it in only two years. On top of that he did it all on his own." Sakura said in sort of an adoring tone, which in turn shocked Ino.
Ino was just staring at Sakura until Sakura noticed it, "No! No! I don't mean it that way! I just mean that Naruto is pretty strong." Sakura nearly screamed defending herself. The rest of the fan girls nodded in agreement.
Iruka figured it was time to cut off all the talking, and get back to teaching his class. Iruka noticed however that Sasuke who was usually not paying any attention at all to what was said, was noting his every word.
'Sasuke must really want to beat Naruto' Iruka thought to himself.
"Ok class lets go over some of the vital points of being a Shinobi again!" Iruka said, to the class, which received a sigh from said class.
-Out in the Forest surrounding Konaha-
Naruto had just recently awoke from his little nap to find that he couldn't move his arms or legs. Naruto was struggling like crazy and then remembered the weights. Naruto chuckled a little then released some of the chakra. He was easily able to move around now, but then Naruto decided he would do better with the weight he just took off, so he put it back on causing him to have to pick his legs up with his arms which he didn't put the chakra back into yet.
After a couple of hours, Naruto was running around with his new weight. He could even jump a few feet off the ground. Naruto then decided he would add the weight to his wrists again. Naruto focused chakra, and in an instant, his arms dropped as if someone had tied anchors to them, which in truth wasn't that far from it. After about another two hours Naruto was freely running around, doing pushups, and so on again. After about another hour of working out, Naruto was dead tired again. It's not everyday that you gain about 350 pounds to your total weight, which already had 350 extra pounds on it.
Naruto sat down for a good hour and then started to train again. It went on like this for the next couple of years. Naruto would wake up go out train physically, learn some jutsu, work on chakra control, then work with his Kekkei Genkai, Sharingan, and Byakugan.
-Two Years Later-
"So you will be going to the Academy to graduate, and become a Genin is that clear?" Someone asked to an unknown source.
"Yes very clear Ojiisan." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Ok good now go show them what you can do Naruto!" Sandaime said with pride.
Naruto just nodded then jumped out the window and raced towards the Academy. When Naruto arrived at the Academy, any trace that Naruto had just been smiling with the Hokage was gone. He was dead serious now, and showed it well. Naruto walked into the academy and could feel all of the eyes on him as he took a seat next to a sleeping Shikamaru. Iruka walked through the door and froze for a second when he saw Naruto but quickly recovered, and called out the next name on the list.
"Kiba Inuzuka."
At that, Kiba smirked then slowly got up and left the room. After about five minutes, Kiba came out with a headband tied around his head as he smirked, walked over, and sat by Hinata and Shino. Iruka walked out of the room again with his clipboard in hand and looked at the list then called off a name.
"Ino Yamanaka."
Ino got up and walked over to Iruka and then Iruka turned with Ino and walked into the room. After about another five minutes had passed Ino walked out with a smile on her face and a headband tied around her waist. This routine went on for about another hour until there were just two people left. Naruto looked over at Shikamaru who was still sleeping next to him until he heard the door open and saw Iruka walk out with the clipboard, for the millionth time.
"Shikamaru Nara." He said calmly as Shikamaru stirred awake from his sleep. He very slowly got up, lazily walked over to Iruka, and then into the room. Naruto swore he heard 'This is so troublesome' right before the door closed. When the door opened again a short time after Shikamaru came out with a Konaha headband tied around his arm. Right before he walked out he turned to Naruto and said,
"Good luck Naruto, it's not like you need it though." And with that, he walked out the door.
Naruto just smiled a bit and waited for Iruka. When Naruto heard the door opening, he got up and walked over to the door to be greeted by Iruka.
"You ready Naruto?" Iruka asked.
"…" Naruto didn't respond he just walked into the room. Iruka sighed and followed.
Naruto walked into the room to see Mizuki and Iruka sitting behind a desk. Naruto vaguely remember Mizuki, but what he did remember is that he helped Iruka with teaching, training, and so on. From what Naruto could remember, Mizuki was nice to him, but he figured he just saw him as the Kyuubi like everyone else did. Iruka looked up from his clipboard and started to instruct Naruto on what to do.
"Ok Naruto we're going to test your Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutsu. First off is Taijutsu." Iruka stated calmly.
"You have to fight me for 30 seconds Naruto." Mizuki said as he stood up and walked over to Naruto. Naruto just smirked and took a fighting stance.
'It's about time I actually get to fight someone worth my time.' Naruto thought to himself.
Naruto ran at Mizuki, which shocked Mizuki because he had not seen Naruto's fight, and had no idea how fast the blond actually was. Mizuki ducked under Naruto's punch only to be hit by Naruto's other fist. This happened in a matter of ten seconds leaving a total of twenty seconds left. Mizuki recovered quickly from Naruto's hit and ran at him only to be met by a punch to the stomach. Mizuki hunched over, and was quickly kicked in the face and sent up into the air. Then out of nowhere, he was kicked back down to earth, and with a hard landing, it was over.
"Time." Iruka said shocked that Naruto had just beat the hell out of a Chuunin. He watched as Mizuki slowly got off the ground and Naruto dismissed the clones he had made in a matter of seconds. Iruka then looked up at Naruto again and smiled, which received absolutely nothing from Naruto. He had that same emotionless face on as always.
"Ok Naruto now we're going to test you in Ninjutsu. I want you to make a clone." At this Naruto sighed, make one hand seal, and said, "Bushin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)." Then right after Naruto said that, a perfect clone appeared. Iruka nodded in approval still smiling over Naruto's successes so far.
"Ok Naruto the last part of the test is Genjutsu. We are going to put you in a Genjutsu at some time, and you have to tell us when you're in it ok?" Naruto just nodded.
Naruto was sitting there looking around in search of anything that was out of place, and just then, Iruka's pencil turned into a snake and fell onto the floor.
"Now." Was all Naruto said as Iruka released the jutsu.
"Very good Naruto you pass! Make sure to come back tomorrow so you can get your team." Iruka said happily, as he gave Naruto his Konaha headband. Naruto tied it around his head, tilted it so it covered his right eye, and walked out of the room still showing no emotion whatsoever.
Naruto walked outside, sure, he was happy, but it's not as if he didn't expect to make Genin. I mean he could easily beat all the Genin out there right now. He was walking to his apartment when Iruka walked up to him. He could feel his chakra signature.
"What do you want Iruka?" Naruto asked rather harshly.
Iruka got a hurt look on his face before saying. "I just wanted to know if you wanted to go get some ramen with me to celebrate your success in becoming a Genin."
"Nah I'm good Iruka there's some thing I got to do at my house." Naruto said before walking away. Now Iruka was really distraught over all this. Naruto had just turned down his favorite food in Konaha.
Naruto once again started to walk to his apartment the only difference this time was that he actually made it there. Naruto walked inside, took off his sandals, walked over drank some water, took his Hitaiate off, unwrapped the bandages around his head and took those off, then put his Hitaiate back on, and covered his right eye with it. He then went over and read some scrolls for a couple of hours. After awhile Naruto started to get lost in his own thoughts.
'I wonder who will be on my team. They better be good 'cause I don't want to be on a team that sucks.' Naruto thought to himself, not even noticing the darkness engulfing him until he lost consciousness. The morning came fast for Naruto, which really wasn't a problem for him since he was just dying to know who was on his team. Naruto got up quickly and did his normal stuff like shower, get dressed, eat a little something, look over some scrolls, and work out a little. When Naruto was done with all those things, he quickly made his way over to the Academy. When the Academy came into view so did all of the people going inside. Naruto saw, Kiba, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Choji, Shino, and Sasuke walking into the Academy as he made his way in also. Naruto walked up the steps and took his seat next to Shikamaru again, who shockingly was awake at the moment. After a few minutes, Iruka walked into the Academy, and sat down as he took out a clipboard.
"Ok guys listen up! I'm going to tell you your teams now so listen carefully."
Iruka began the list with some teams and none of them had any problems except for the Fan girls that were angry they weren't on Sasuke's team. Then Iruka called the next team.
"Ok guys, team Eight will be composed of…Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga." Iruka looked up and was happy to see that this team didn't have any problems with who was on it. Then Iruka continued, "Your team's Sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi." Iruka looked back down at his clipboard, saw the next team, and smirked some. "Ok team Seven will be Haruno Sakura,-" Iruka stopped and looked up still with a smirk on his face and continued, "Uzumaki Naruto,-" Iruka was stopped again by a loud noise that came from Naruto's head hitting the desk. Naruto hated the idea of having a Sasuke fan girl on his team out of all the possible girls; he had to get one that was obsessed with Sasuke. Sakura was just looking at Naruto not knowing how to respond to him being on her team. She would have been angry if he was still the stupid prankster he was before, but now he was dead serious and was really strong, but also at the same time had a hostility towards everyone, which scared her greatly, because of how strong he was. Then Iruka announced the last member of the team. "Uchiha Sasuke." After he said that, there were three different reactions. One was Ino and the rest of the fan girls yelling about how lucky Sakura was, the second was Sakura yelling about how she was with her 'Sasuke-Kun', and the third was Naruto screaming,
"Why the hell do I have to be on his team!? How does that even teams out at all!? Sasuke is the best in the class and I kicked his ass which would make us a super team!" Iruka, still with a smile on his face, looked over at Naruto who was being yelled at by Sasuke about how 'He just got lucky, and it would never happen again.' then to Naruto's response of 'Yeah right you loser! I kicked your ass and didn't even need to use half of my true strength! Like you could beat me!' Iruka spoke up again,
"Naruto your team is possible because since you weren't in our class your grades were the lowest which means to even out teams we had to pair the lowest with the highest." At this Sasuke smirked and Naruto just glared at him,
"Laugh all you want Sasuke, it doesn't matter what my grades are, I can still kick your ass anytime I want to." At this comment, Sasuke could only glare at Naruto. Iruka just sighed then continued on with the team,
"And your Sensei will be Kakashi Hatake." Iruka then just continued onto the next team. "Ok team Ten is going to be Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akamichi, and Shikamaru Nara.-" Iruka was interrupted by another loud thump but this time it was from Ino not Naruto. Iruka just shrugged and continued on.
"Your Sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi." Iruka finished off the list, and went right into explaining some things again.
"Ok guys just stay put for awhile, and wait until your Sensei gets here."
Everyone just waited for a while until their Sensei got there to take them somewhere. There was a slight problem however. Team Seven's Sensei, Kakashi Hatake, still wasn't there and it had been almost two hours. By this time, Naruto was about ready to kill someone. He had worked out and looked over some scrolls but now he didn't have anything to do and it was pissing him off. So when the door finally opened and Kakashi stepped in, Kunai were implanted in the wall all around him. Kakashi looked up to see Naruto twirling a kunai while Sasuke and Sakura just stared angrily at him.
"Well my first impression of you is that I hate yo-" Kakashi was cut off by Naruto.
"Don't worry I hate you too." Naruto said with a pissed off glare, which shocked Kakashi, but he quickly recovered. Naruto noticed that Kakashi had a style similar to his own. He wore his Konaha headband tilted across his left eye not his right however.
"Ok well follow me." Kakashi told then new Genin as he walked away. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all quickly followed behind. When Kakashi stopped and looked at his team again, he said,
"Ok now well let's introduce ourselves. You know say your likes and dislikes so on so forth." He then pointed at Sakura "You go first."
Sakura nodded then started, "Well I'm Sakura Haruno, I like…well the person I like is..." She glanced at Sasuke and blushed heavily. Then continued, "My goal…well dream is…" Once again, Sakura looked at Sasuke but this time she squealed. Kakashi sighed and then asked, "What do you hate?" Sakura thought for a bit then shrugged. "I don't really hate anything."
Kakashi nodded then pointed to Naruto "Ok cat boy go." Naruto quickly took out a kunai and started to twirl it before throwing it right next to Kakashi's head. "Don't call me that." Naruto said calmly some hate seeping into his voice however, he then went on. "Ok my name is Uzumaki Naruto…I don't really like anything except for training, the Hokage, and Ramen. I hate…-" Naruto thought for a second. Then said, "I hate everyone and everything with the exception of Ojiisan. I hate people who obsess over people or things, and I also hate people who are late. I don't really have hobbies except for training, and there is one person that I need to get back for something, but that can wait until the time is right." Naruto said not stopping any of the hate from showing in his voice.
Sakura froze when Naruto said he hated people who obsess over people; because she had a feeling, he was talking about her. Kakashi just sighed he knew he was going to have to get Naruto to open up big time because this was the exact opposite of how you wanted a Jinchuuriki to act. Kakashi then turned to Sasuke,
"Ok you go." Sasuke just slightly nodded and started, "My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I have a lot of things that I hate, and not many things that I like. Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention of leaving as just a dream. The revival of my clan and to kill a certain man." Kakashi just sighed since he was expecting that. Then Sakura looked at Kakashi,
"What about you Sensei?" Kakashi smiled and said, "My name is Hatake Kakashi, I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream…" Kakashi stopped and looked up at the sky, "And I have a few hobbies." Kakashi finished with a breath.
'All we learned was his name' Naruto thought to himself. Kakashi stood up and started to speak again.
"Ok guys we're going to go over to training ground 13 so we can do our first mission."
"What's our first mission Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura asked curious.
Kakashi smiled under his mask and replied, "A survival test."
'A survival test?' Naruto thought to himself, 'Why would we have a survival test? We just got out of the academy we should be doing missions now.'
As if reading Naruto's mind Sakura spoke up, "A survival test? Didn't we train all throughout the academy? Shouldn't we be, like, doing an actual mission instead of training?"
Kakashi sighed "No, you guys need to pass this test to become Genin."
This made Sakura's, Sasuke's, and even Naruto's eyes go wide from surprise.
"What do you mean 'to become Genin!?' We just became Genin that's why we're here right now!" Sakura screamed
"Calm down…no you guys took a test to see if you were ready for this test. If you fail this test however you go back to the Academy."
Naruto was shocked he didn't know what to say, but luckily for him Sasuke spoke up.
"That's bull! We graduated from the Academy! We shouldn't have to go back or take another test!"
Kakashi just laughed. Then shook his head. "You expected that test to be what makes you a ninja? You haven't even been in a life or death situation yet. How would you become a real ninja without that?" Naruto just sat there. He had decided he was going to become a ninja even if it meant killing his newly acquired Sensei to achieve it.
"Ok" Naruto said out of nowhere getting the attention of Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura. "I'll kill you if that's what it takes to become a Genin." Naruto stated with no emotion in his voice once again. Now Kakashi was really shocked by the boys response. Either Naruto was insanely good at bluffing, or he was going to actually try to kill him just to become a ninja. Sasuke couldn't believe, that Naruto could say that with no emotion in his voice at all. It amazed him that someone could say they're going to kill someone, and not show one hint of inner turmoil. Sakura on the other hand was terrified of Naruto when he was like this, because she could tell just from his voice that he could kill her without any remorse at all.
"Ok, then show me what you mean." Kakashi said, actually egging Naruto on.
"With pleasure." Naruto spat, right back.
Kakashi jumped back and his location was, now, underneath a tree. He then took out two bells and held them up.
"Ok you guys have until sundown to get these bells from me. If you don't have a bell by the end you fail…any questions?" Kakashi asked. Sakura raised her hand, and started talking when Kakashi motioned to her.
"Kakashi-Sensei why are there only two bells when there are three of us? Wouldn't that mean that someone will automatically go back to the Academy?"
Kakashi nodded his head. "This test is to see who deserves to become a Genin and who is still too weak to become one."
'That doesn't make any sense at all…I know for a fact that teams are three man cells along with the sensei. So how could there be a team with only three people total when it's required to have four on each team? Unless the real objective isn't to get the bells its something else.' Naruto thought to himself and then started to think of reasons why this would come up. 'The only thing I can think of is to test if we can work as a team and not act alone.' Naruto smirked to himself.
Kakashi looked over at Naruto and saw his smirk. "What are you smiling about?"
Naruto looked up at Kakashi to see him staring directly at him. "Oh nothing, just thinking of how all three of us are going to pass this test." Naruto stated calmly a smirk still present on his face.
At this, Kakashi's eyes widened. 'There's no possible way he could have figured it out before the test even started. Unless…maybe what Hokage-Sama said is true…maybe Naruto is a genius, and he just doesn't show it.'
At Naruto's comment, Sakura's eyes went wide. 'Naruto knows of a way for all of us to win? But how? I can't think of anything that would let us all pass…unless Naruto sees another bell that I can't. That might explain it; I'll ask him when we start just to be sure.' Sakura thought to herself.
Sasuke was also shocked by Naruto's comment. 'He figured out a way to get us all to pass when only two of us clearly can pass? I hope your right Naruto. I guess I should ask him what his plan is when this stupid thing starts.' Sasuke also thought to himself.
Kakashi looked at his team all deep in thought then smiled at the idea of snapping them out of their thoughts all at once. Kakashi took a deep breath then at the top of his lungs screamed, "BEGIN!"
Naruto was immediately back to reality, and was gone as soon as he realized what was going on. Sakura took a little slower then Naruto but did pretty much the exact same thing. Sasuke had vanished before Kakashi even shouted; he decided he should find a good hiding spot until he could meet up with Naruto.
Kakashi chuckled to himself. "This is going to be fun I can tell."
