Shino Aburame was by no means a coward. He like ,many of his clan, believed in logic. He knew how to think with involving his emotions. He was not emotionless , mind you , no he was being groomed to be the hive leader. He belonged to a clan that use kikai bugs to do their bidding in return the insect are allowed to feed on their chakra. The kikai were special breed of insect that could consume chakra of anything that could provide a source. Shino understood the important of his insect and how not to take stupid risk. Shino's insects seemed to be frightened by Naruto's chakra and refused to try to absorb is chakra. Shino's style depended on his insects to act as distraction while he attacks. With his insect refusal to fight Shino had no other recourse but to give up.
Naruto was quickly dispatching his classmates in the assessment test. He had beaten Choji by stopping his Meat Tank with his bare hands then using Heartless to send a barrage of punches while softer that the ones used on Kiba still knock Choji into a state of comatose of 20 minutes. Shikamaru gave up saying that the once blonde had become to troublesome to fight now so he gave up. Now the fight everyone had been waiting for had arrived Sasuke Uchiha vs. Naruto Uzumaki , Dead-last vs. 1 Rookie , the genius vs. the idiot.
The girls ho had just finished up there assessment test were walking over to where the boys. The girl who had come out on top was the eldest child of the Hyuuga Main Branch Hinata Hyuuga. Hinata could have easily gloated stating that her opponents were ignorant of her style the Gentle Fist and that why they lost but Hinata was not one for that sort of thing. As the girls came over to where the boys they quickly tried to find out who was going to lose to Sasuke in the final match. To there combined feelings of horror, shock, disgust , and one person's admiration It was Naruto who would face Sasuke.
"NANI?? How is that idiot in the final round ? what did fight a bunch of weaklings?" asked Sakura. "I wouldn't talk that way about Naruto" shout some random student. "What are you talking about this Naruto we are talking about the guy who cherry bombed every toilet in the ninja academy without getting caught." Ino shrieked. "Besides there is no way possible Naruto will win especially since he is fighting Sasuke." Ino concluded with full certainty.
The bet was set 75-1 that Naruto would last five minutes. While Shikamaru and Choji who had now woken up with a bag of chip courtesy of Naruto chose not to bet , Kiba placed 100 yen on Naruto to last five minutes. The rest of the class said he would go down in five.
Sasuke stared at Naruto ,his eyes burned into Naruto with wrath of hell fire. How could this idiot have this much power , where are these technique from , who taught him , so many question so little time. "Eh? Dobe How about we make a friendly wager? If I win you will give me the secrets to your power." Naruto heard what the Uchiha said and smiled a sadistic grin. Naruto was by accounts a risk taker however he had what many thought was the devils luck on his side. To make a bet with Naruto is to basically give your money away. After a briefly pondering the idea Naruto said "Ok teme but if I win you have to streak home through the village from the academy for the rest of the week." Sasuke mouth was agape for a moment as he thought it over "I need power but am I will to put my pride on the line for it? No I have to gain power ,power strong enough to defeat Itachi" "Ok dobe just don't cry when you have to teach me your techniques. " Sasuke said a he took his taijutsu stance. Naruto then took the same stance he took in his past matches , standing straight with his arms folded. Sasuke opened up with throw kunai and shuriken to test his dodging prowess. Naruto merely watched the projectiles come only for them to be caught in the hands of Heartless. Upon seeing his new guardian a couple of girls shrieked. Ino decided to act as the girls mouth pieces and asked "What on Earth is that thing?" "Eh oh well first of it is not a thing it is a special summon I have control of. " Sasuke looked at the beast and knew he could not take Naruto in a direct assault he had to remove the beast from the scenario. "So dobe relying on another's strength I thought you were better than that." Naruto knew what Sasuke was trying to pull he decided to give him a taste of some of his other power "Oh yeah , I don't need Heartless to make you eat dirt , I swear on my pride to beat you without his help" "Yes the dobe has fallen into my scenario" Sasuke thought. Sasuke charged Naruto who had now assumed a battle stance. He moved to make a powerful jab to the face and it connected but something was wrong. Naruto was not knocked back and he was smiling "Whats wrong Sasuke-kun don't you know when a boss summon leaves or dies that means he's decided to get serious" Naruto with a mocking bright smile. Then Sasuke was blow back from Naruto , black lightening jumped from parts his body to the others. The entire class , Iruka and Mizuki all had a WTF look on their faces. Naruto decide to give every a lesson his powers. He explained that he can convert his energy to shadow energy with can be use in a surprising amount of ways he told. "Basically I injected shadow energy into his charka network , which spread it through out his body stunning in a quite effective manner. Oh and just so you know Sasuke if I wanted to I could have killed you with that move."
Iruka was baffled , horrified and overjoyed. " Naruto you are finally realizing all the potential you have Please Naruto win this one I have a 10000 yen riding on you and if you win we can go for ramen." Iruka had bet Mizuki, Naruto would beat Sasuke and was really praying for Naruto to win he could not lose part of his paycheck.
Sasuke stood his eyes seemed to burn with a hatred that seemed almost other worldly. He decided that had to use his big gun. After going through some quick hand signs he shouted,Fire style: Grand Fireball and a giant fire ball rushed toward Naruto with frightening speed. Naruto then put his palms forward then a ball formed of darkness near his hand. Darkness style: Shadow Bomb and with no delay the ball fire out of his hand only to be consumed in the great fire. "That it dobe. That's your jutsu that was pathetic." Naruto then closed his palms and fire ball expanded until Sasuke came to realize that his technique had just been blow up from the inside out. Sasuke stared for a moment then looked to see Naruto disappeared. He turned around and found no one then turned back to see Naruto had closed the gap between them was now preparing to attack as his palms were cocked back. He pushed his palms forward and shout Twin Lance then shadow power was forced in to the boys system. Sasuke flew back 5 yards and landed writhing in pain. While he was twitching, he showed no signs of movement and battle was called by Iruka "Winner Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto then began to shout and dance his male classmate looked on with slight admiration , he had done some of them dreamt of doing knocking the Uchiha off his pedestal. The Sasuke club was crying saying that Naruto had cheated somehow , a few girls were handing out flyers to join the Naruto fan club and one was just happy to see her crush win his fight.
Back in the classroom word was quickly spreading to other gennin hopefuls like wild fire. And like most rumors things had become exaggerated like Naruto summoned minions darkness and Sasuke had to battle through them and junk like that. Iruka was now giving a lecture about the uses of ninja wires. Naruto decided that now was as good a time as any to learn about one of his new powers.
(Mindscape)
Naruto had once again weaved through the maze to get to the library that resided in his mind. He now had to decided which form of Xemnas did he want to learn about first. He saw that each book had a number on from 2 -13. He figured sense Xemnas was the dominate personality he was number 1. Naruto decide to pick the book marked 12 because that was his age. He then began to understand the difference in which Ansem and Xemnas used darkness while Ansem channels and used darkness to manipulate heartless , Xemnas had the power to manipulate the very elements around. The form of Xemnas he was reading about was Larxene , who had the ability to control lightening. Naruto begin to read about her many technique promising that he would learn all he could about her style.
It was finally the end of the day. Naruto waited for Sasuke to come to the door. "Ok teme you remember the bet" Some people stopped. Bet ? What is Naruto talking about whats going on some thought. "Give how much pride you have I make you a deal if you willing bow your head and ask out loud then you don't have to do you-know-what" Sasuke sneered "Tsk I would never bow my head to you." "Well then keep to your word." And with that much to the fan girls delight Sasuke disrobe and sped home. A swarm of girls could be seen chasing after him. Some of the guys in class were looking at Naruto as if where a Titan, for to them he had just defeated and humiliated the one hailed as a god.
Naruto shrugged all he did was beat Sasuke. "I guess the one who slays the king becomes king. All I can say is this year is going to be a blast."
(1 year later)
Naruto was the definition of excitement the Genin exams were today and he just knew this year was his year. Naruto was by skills the best in taijutsu , he was smart but chose not to show it thinking it would give him an edge. He was also skilled with kunai and shuriken and many other weapons. Not only was he strong but he was actually an approachable guy.
Over the year he'd made a diverse group of friends. Shikamaru Nara , Choji Akimichi and Kiba Inuzaka had been his friends since they were little. They were once call The Great Delinquents. Kiba: His mouth was never ending well of curse words. Choji: He would eat during any occasion and was not above making noise why he did. Shikamaru: Was a procrastinating lazily eyed bum and would sleep, day dream and cloud watch. He also had a smart mouth. He was also on good terms with Shino. To Naruto's surprise it was Shino that approached him saying "You giving off a chakra that acts a repellent to my insects. So I feel that it would be beneficial to learn how to fight someone with such an ability. " Then there was Hinata , she and him had were forced to pair up for a assignment. To Naruto's surprise he found that they shared common ground as they both like to garden.
Naruto had also made great strides in mastering the Ansem and Xemnas's powers. He now could use the powers of Roxas: this gave him two sword one Sword looks like the wing of bat or demon. The other looks like that it was crafted form the feathers of angel. This form allowed him to manipulate light. He could make swords of light and energy beams that could stun or kill opponents.
Axel: this gave him to two red charkrams which he could use to control fire.
Marluxia: This gave him a long handle scythe. This gave him the power to manipulate flowers , grass and trees. In a forest he could sink into the ground and appear from seemingly nowhere. As he disappeared he left black petals signifying death.
Luxord: He gain the power to control time to a certain extent. He could freeze time for 7 seconds, with doing harm to his doing. He used a special deck of cards that with charka could he be use as a melee weapon , shield or hide by simply sinking into cards. It could also be use as means of teleportation.
However his most used was the power of Zexion: With this power he gained a book as a weapon. He had many uses for the book. The book had the power to absorb knowledge from his opponents. All he had to do was strike an opponents while hold the book. He could steal knowledge, read memories , copy fighting styles and jutsu. However any information learned could only last 4 hours.
He finally got class to be greeted by his friends. Then Sakura and Ino did the whole "who can be Sasuke's bitch." Sasuke was named Rookie of the year but he knew that Naruto was stronger but would never admit it. When ever they fought Naruto always won. However Sasuke after losing to Naruto second time , decided to learn how to use a two wakizashi. First part of the test was the written part. Now Naruto had not studied so he decided to use his lexicon on Sakura to get some help. He scored a 70 (note in Japan 50 is a passing grade.) During the weapons portion of the test he hit 6 of the 8vital spots. Naruto was nervous he has spent hour working on his clone jutsu but to no avail. He just prayed that he could get it to work. He walked into the exam room with his head held high. His friends crossed their friends, while Sakura and Sasuke (not together) chopped he failed. In the room Iruka assured him that he was gonna pass regardless if he was able to make clones. Naruto still gave it his best shot. He managed to produce one clone. It was not sickly looking but it was far from perfect. Iruka congratulated him and handed him his headband. Naruto because he loved drama decided to have some fun. He throw up his hood and put his head downwards. He walked out slowly trying to look convincing. Kiba was the first to speak "Eh Naruto how'd. it go" he slowed down on the last part seeing his friend "mask." Hinata looked sad. That when Sasuke looked at Naruto and said in a mocking tone "Whats wrong dobe do ya have the take the academy test again." "Actually teme I wanted to see just how much of ninja and asshole you are." Naruto looked up with a grin pulling the headband from his pocket and took the metal part from the headband and placed it on his hood.
"Damnit Naruto don't do that you know had me fucking worried that we would not be teammates" Kiba yelled then he whispered. ".fuckin idiot you almost made Hinata cry." At that Naruto's guilt rose as made moves to console the girl before she cried this however lead to her fainting and Naruto questioning why.
After leaving the school , Naruto and his gang decided to go out to eat for tomorrow they would be placed on teams and this might be last time they could all be together. They all talked about good and bad time at the academy. When it got dark they all walked home. Naruto was walking Hinata home when he could a ninja moving from the Hokage's office. Naruto told Hinata he would check it out the situation while she went to get help.
Naruto was in hot pursuit , he decided to use Larxene's power so he keep his distance. He charges some chakra into his darkness made kunai and threw it at the assailant hiting him in the shoulder. He faltered slightly and missed the tree branch he was stepping two.
Naruto then saw the assailant was Mizuki. Mizuki threw a shuriken at Naruto which he barely avoided. Naruto shifted power from Larxene to Maluxia.
"Sensei what are you doing" Naruto said in a panic. "Well Naruto I stealing this scroll for Iwa " "But why sensei" "So I can get money idiot." "No sensei I can't let you do that " "Hah as if a demon could stop" "What did you call me " "You wanna know …well I tell you…. So that makes you the nine tailed fox." "You sensei I believe except the fox up and split before he could be sealed me no what I have sealed in me is the something much more useful." With that Naruto disappeared into the forest. "I wont let you get away teme I beat you." Naruto's voice rand for all around. "Tough talk but can you back it up." Then Naruto's scythe can swinging from nowhere. First Naruto cut his ex-teachers tendons then impaled his shoulder blades. "Sorry teme but your about 2000 years to early to be fighting me ..go train some more and come back when you become a man." Naruto spoke acting cool. He then took the scroll "Might as well get at reward….hmmm Shadow clone jutsu that sound cool." When Hinata with help arrived she saw 5 Naruto's sitting around a downed Mizuki "Oi hey Hinata they shout" they all shouted. Hinata fainted , thinking the world was a good place. After giving his report to the Hokage, Naruto and Hinata were given some money saying that what they did was the equivalent of an A-ranked mission.
After the debrief came the genin team selection. "I Kakashi Hatake wish to have Sasuke Uchiha , Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzamaki."
"I, Kurenai Yuhi wish to take on Hinata Hyuuga , Kiba Inuzaka , and Shino Aburame."
"I Asuma Sarutobi wish to take on Shikamaru Nara , Choji Akimichi , and Ino Yamanaka"
"Hold I believe you need to make an adjustment to the teams Hokage-sama" Iruka interjected
"What is Iruka? " the old man asked. "Hokage-sama I feel that it would be a bad idea to have Naruto placed on the same team with Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto and Sasuke have a long standing rivaly and Sakura would most likely not make things better. It would be a good idea to switch him for Kiba. While Kiba and Sasuke have mild dislike for each other it is nowhere near bads Naruto's."
"Well what do you say Kurenai" the Hokage asked the woman "It's your call." "Only if Iruka agree to favor of mine." "Ok I willing to help you for Naruto's sake." With that it was settled with Hokage and the teams were formed. As they were leaving Iruka asked what the favor was. He blanched when found out he had to ask out Anko. "Naruto you bet become the best damn ninja."
(Next day)
Naruto arrived early to the academy. He meet up with his friends and he told about the events that happened last night. At first they looked at him like he was crazy but then he had Hinata verify it. Then Iruka can into the classroom looking like hell. Naruto asked out of worry "Iruka what happened to you ?" "Lets just say you own me big bowl of ramen and I tell you the rest when your older." Naruto not satified with answer use his lexicon and peered into his sensei memories. "Wow Iruka-sensei that Anko chick seems scary but hot" "That she is Naruto that she is …now let begin with the team placements"
After the announcement they were given time to get to know their teams. Naruto beamed happiness he was happy that Shino and Hinata where his team because he knew where it not for Iruka he would be with Sasuke and Sakura.
"Before have lunch lets say a little prayer for Kiba here who has been cursed with the devil and his bride " Naruto began. Kiba sighed "Maybe I should hang back this year and get a better set of team mates. " "But Kiba you have the strongest shinobi and kunoichi on your team." With that Naruto and Kiba laughed. Both knew that Naruto and Hinata were the strongest genin in the class were it not for the fact that Naruto liked to goof off and Hinata had test anxiety sometimes. After lunch they all filed back and waited for their sensei to arrive after two minutes of waiting Kurenai came in and picked up her genin.
Naruto looked back as he was leaving "Fare the well place of my youth." Then looked forward ready to start the next chapter of his life.
