It's the day of the true Genin exam and we find Naruto and friends all arriving at the training ground that has been designated for team 7 but with no sign of their Jonin sensei. Sasuke was the first to arrive, then Sakura and finally Naruto, all questioning where on earth their sensei was because he was now officially late.
Sakura finally got bored of waiting for Kakashi and about an hour after arriving decided to ask her teammates if they have seen him today and what they think about him being late.
"You guys know what happened to Sensei? He's late."
"Hn." Came the ever-so-stoic response from the Uchiha.
"I have no idea but if he continues to be late for everything from now on then I will just arrive an hour later so I can get more sleep, I doubt he would even notice. Now if you excuse me Sakura, I'm going to practise my Jutsu."
Sakura noticed what he said at the end and became confused. "Jutsu? You don't know any Jutsu."
"Well besides the basic Academy ones I know plenty of Jutsu, in fact I have two elements and I'm quite versed in both but my wind element is strongest and I have created several wind Jutsu that are mine and mine alone." Looking towards Sasuke he continued, "And Sasuke, don't think that when you awaken those cheating eyes of yours that you will simply be able to steal them because the chances are when you use them you will die. Half of them should be labelled S-Rank or Kinjutsu just for the amount of Chakra they take up and me being me, well let's just say I have roughly 5x the amount of Chakra that the Hokage has."
With that said he walked off into the trees leaving his teammates mouths hanging slightly open.
'How dare he insult the Uchiha like that, I am an elite! The best of the best, If I want his Jutsu then I shall take them!'
'Why is he trying to act so cool recently, is he trying to act like Sasuke-Kun so I will like him? he wouldn't go that far would he?'
In a clearing in the trees Naruto summoned around 500 clones and set them all besides the last 50 on tree, water and kunai balancing chakra control exercises to increase his chakra control, this was of course the normal warm up when it came to his training; he would work on his Chakra control right the way through the session and then use at least 50 clones for taijutsu practise.
Kakashi arrived about 2 hours later and noticed two out of three of his students where they were supposed to be. "Huh, Sensei for a day and already picking up my habits."
"You're late!" Screamed Sakura.
"Down Banshee, down. I'm only late for a simple reason, I got lost on the road to life but whilst I was lost I ran into an old friend and we went and had some breakfast and caught up but it was most insightful because he gave me a map on the road to life and pointed me in the right direction. So you see, it wasn't my fault."
Kakashi watched both his students with a small grin as they had anime sweat drops on the back of their heads and were thinking the exact same thing, 'That was the worst excuse I've ever heard.'
"Now, two of my lovely Genin are here; where is the third?"
"He said a load about going off to train in the forest waiting for you to get here and he mocked Sasuke-Kuns eyes saying that he wouldn't be able to copy any of his Jutsu because they take up so much Chakra that they should be labelled Kinjutsu."
"Is that so? Well I've heard the Hokage say that he has been hiding behind a mask for most of his life so his skills were probably hidden as well; I have no idea if he's made any Jutsu or not."
"Whatever, he went off that way. Go and get the Dobe so we can get this over and done with."
Kakashi snickered at the boy and said "Your wish is my command Sasuke-Chan" making the enraged Uchiha even more mad and embarrassed.
Kakashi came upon a sight he hadn't ever seen before, shadow clones and a lot of them; roughly 470 shadow clones with 450 of them doing chakra control exercises and 20 of them fighting what looked like the real one because he took more than one hit. After the 20 Taijutsu clones dispelled Naruto took a two minute break to get his chakra levels back up and decided it was time to work on his new wind technique that he was making: The Wind Dragon.
Kakashi just stared in awe as 30 clones puffed into existence and started a rapid set of 27 hand seals and yell "Futon: Kaze Doragon No Jutsu" and what appeared to be a Dragon made out of wind started to mould in the air with bright yellow eyes. Each clone had the Dragon moulded to different degrees which led Kakashi to believe that this was a technique he was creating.
After the Dragons appeared to attack several trees and slice them all to pieces Kakashi made a mental note never to piss Naruto off because this technique wasn't even finished and it could kill anything in its path. "All right Kakashi, come on out. I know you're there and you saw me."
Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and gave his usual "Yo" with a mock salute.
"Alright how much of the technique did you see? Oh don't mind the clones, they're working on chakra control, I have roughly 5x the amount of the old man so I need control more than anything hence a normal clone is out of the question for me."
Kakashi just looked in awe thinking about how fun it would be to teach him but the damn council wanted the Uchiha brat trained first and foremost.
"Urm, all of it and I must say I'm impressed. People say you can't make a wind dragon technique because air isn't as malleable as the other elements."
"Hehe, they're wrong so I would appreciate if you keep this to yourself for the time being, you know showing up the Uchiha and all needs time to create Jutsu that he can't copy because of the Chakra usage. Hell I bet even you can't use my water techniques if you copy them but if you ask nicely and promise not to share I might teach you some of my lower class water techniques that are B and A ranked with less Chakra drain than most."
Kakashi just Eye-smiled at his students balls to say that and laughed.
"Well let's get back to the Banshee and Emo so I can get this test over with and go and see the old man, maybe finally give him some of my Jutsu Scrolls for ANBU to use; ever since he heard how I've held back he's come to the assumption that I took after him in the Jutsu development department which is true but I don't usually give them out and I am not given out my most prized techniques."
"You know who your father was?" Kakashi paled at the thought.
"Yes, I know and I know you're his student or were his student rather, I don't really care to be honest."
Kakashi was still rather pale but ran after Naruto and made it back to the main training ground after the clones dispelled. Kakashi pulled an alarm clock out of nowhere and attached two bells to his belt.
"The test is simple, you have until this alarm goes off to get two bells, come at me with intent to kill or you're screwed."
"But sensei, there are only two bells?"
"Simple Sakura, get the bells the one that doesn't get the bell goes back to the academy..."
Sakura paled at knowing she wouldn't be able to get the bells but decided to try to impress her Sasuke-kun, Sasuke was smirking thinking about how the "Uchiha Elites" would make short work of this and Naruto was just sitting there bored.
"BEGIN!"
Sakura and Sasuke just jumped into the trees for cover whilst Naruto just stood there.
"You know compared to the other two you're a bit weird you know that?"
"I've been told, so listen Sensei; I know the test is to work together and I am rather contempt to just sit down and watch the Uchiha get his ass handed to him again and again but that being said. Do you have a spare copy of that book I can borrow whilst watching? I really don't want to wait for him to get the balls to attack a Jonin and reading will help pass the time."
Kakashi sweat dropped and took a scroll out of his vest, upon inspection it was a storage scroll. In said scroll was stored every volume of Icha Icha ever made.
Naruto walked over and picked up a book and just smiled at his Sensei, "So that's where you get your different books from? I thought you would keep them in a safe or something but this works as well I suppose."
Sitting against a tree in the shade he began to read totally ignoring the fact that his sensei was trying his best not to laugh at him for what was happening, Naruto noticed this and smirked knowing that his plan was already in motion.
About 20 minutes later Sasuke appeared out of the trees and engaged his sensei in the standard form of Uchiha Taijutsu but his form had a few flaws in it because he was self taught due to his older brother going all apocalyptic on his clan.
"Rushing an enemy head on? I would expect more of the all mighty Uchiha clan Sasuke."
Sasuke started seeing red, the ever present Uchiha pride telling him that this person needed to die.
"Oh what am I saying? To be a clan needs more than one person."
Having enough of his Sensei's jabs at the young Uchiha he started going through hand signs and took a deep breath, Naruto took note of this and thought the same thing as Kakashi; No regular Genin should be able to do that technique.
"Katon:Gōkakyū no Jutsu" A rather large fire ball appeared from Sasukes mouth and started shooting towards Kakashi who just used a quick Kawarimi to swap with a log beside Naruto. Naruto looked to his side noticing Kakashi appear.
"Well that was unexpected."
"Don't come over here, he might burn the precious! Run goddamn it, I don't want him to burn the precious because I'm goddamn reading it!"
Taking the hint kakashi quickly went through some hand signs and shouted "Doton:Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu" and dragged the ever-so-Emo Uchiha underground until only his head appeared.
"I'll give it you, a Genin shouldn't be able to perform that technique but you still suck."
Sasuke said nothing but glared at Kakashi. "Well nice talking to you, Naruto is over there if you want to talk to him but he's reading; I'm going Banshee hunting, see ya" Kakashi disappeared in a swirl of leaves and not 5 minutes later all you could hear was a scream from the forest.
"Oi, help me out of the ground. You should be honoured that I'm asking you for help, I'm part of the Uchiha clan; we don't ask for help often!"
Naruto temporarily looked above his book and saw Sasuke with only his head above the ground and burst out laughing. "I honestly didn't see you there, I was so enjoying my book but you had to ruin it didn't you? Fine I'll help you but only because I find it funny when Kakashi hands you your ass."
Just as he was walking over Kakashi appeared with an eye smile because Naruto was helping his teammates, "Kakashi this isn't what you think, I'm helping him because I find it entertaining when you beat him down again." Naruto smirked and heard some sort of alarm going off.
"Well that's time, too bad looks like you all fail."
Kakashi had an unconscious sakura over his shoulder who didn't complain but Sasuke thinking he was a god among men started mouthing off, "You can't do this to an Uchiha, we're the elite, we're the best and you will pass me!"
"I can do this, you're the only Uchiha left therefore you're not an elite because you're a Genin and you suck so you're not the best." Kakashi just then noticed Naruto smiling, "And what do you think you have to smile about? from what I read of your file you failed the academy 3 times before now?"
"Oh come on Kakashi, you know that I could pass the academy within a second and we both know that we've passed but of course for different reasons.
Teme, you passed because the civilian council wish for the 'Great Uchiha' clan to rise up again but that can only happen once you reach Jonin I think it was and you will be forced to partake in the Clan restoration act so they forced Kakashi to teach you and pass you.
Now me and Sakura on the other hand have passed for a different reason" Naruto said taking 3 bells out of his pocket, "here's one for each of us." Kakashi looked visibly annoyed at this because his test just got weaselled out of.
Looking down he saw that he still had his bells and eye smiled at what had to be a rather clever trick since no one has thought of this before.
"Don't look so down Kakashi, when you saw me earlier I dispelled all clones except one and sent it into town to buy 3 bells; It came back after you were handing Sasuke his ass to him and gave me the bells hence I just continued reading, was a rather good book."
The Hokage just burst out laughing hearing what had happened through his crystal ball and didn't stop for a good 5 minutes until the secretary came in and asked if everything was alright.
"Fine, you pass." Kakashi said and started muttering about blondes being too smart for their own good. "Be here at 8AM every day except Sundays for team training and missions." Kakashi just tied Sakura to the post and Shunshin'd away to the Hokage's office and waited for the other Jonin to arrive for report on the teams.
About 20 minutes later all Jonin Sensei's arrived and were surprised to see Kakashi early and what appeared to be pouting. Snickering at him they all lined up in front of the Hokage, the man known as the God of Shinobi who happened to have a big smile on his face.
"Alright let's get this started, Team 1-5 pass or fail?"
"OK Now team 10?"
A new Jonin stepped forward with beautiful red eyes by the name of Kurenai Yuhi, "Team 10 Passed, they work well together and all sensor abilities counter another's weakness meaning that they would be incredibly good for hunting and tracking enemies. Kiba is brash and from what I can tell is a major pervert, he also thinks of himself as 'Top Dog' which may be an issue in the future. Hinata is shy and has major confidence issues which I will need to work on but once passed that I'm sure she can become a very strong Kunoichi despite what her family thinks and Shino is well... Shino, skilled but reserved with emotions in check."
Hiruzen nodded and continued down the line.
"Team 9?" "Fail" "Ok team 9 goes back to the academy."
"Team 8?" A man who stood rather tall at 6ft3 with a beard and a cigarette in his mouth in standard Jonin uniform with a light blue sash tied around his waist with the Kanji for Fire written on it came forward.
"Team 8 passed, considering the old Ino-Shika-Cho trio and how they worked together their kids were raised to be their heirs so they were considered friends since an early age and can work well together with moves that the original trio taught them."
"Ok good to hear, another famous trio that will come from a new generation that promises to be better than the last."
Everyone then turned to Kakashi as they noticed him pouting and the Hokage smiling like a madman.
"Team 7?" The Hokage said in an all too sweet voice knowing what happened.
"Fine they passed but I'm not happy about it."
"For everyone else in the room please explain what happened."
"Fine, I arrived as per normal which obviously meant 3 hours late only to find two out of three Genin there and when I asked where Naruto was they said that he went off to train because waiting wasn't so bad and the Banshee started screaming about how Naruto insulted her 'Sasuke-Kuns' eyes which to be fair made me laugh when I was out of sight."
The Hokage nodded and started grinning knowing what was coming.
"Anyway, I arrive in the clearing that he was training to find him using around 470 Kage Bushin which not only surprised the shit out of me because of his chakra levels but he was practising an advanced form of Taijutsu against 20 of them but this was when I arrived late so I don't know what he was doing before that. I decided that being a good teacher I would sit and watch for a while because I wanted to know more; He kicked all his clones asses had a two minute break and started working on his wind element and creating a new wind Jutsu which I might add is a fucking monster of a Jutsu; I won't tell you what it was because he asked me not to but I will tell you that it isn't even complete and it wrecked the forest."
All Jonin were looking at him with surprise and Team 8's Sensei stepped forward, "Are you telling me that he is not only a wind element but has mastered it to such a degree that he is creating techniques? That is unheard of for his age!"
"Please continue Kakashi."
"After that he told me to come out and that he saw me watching and just ignored me which was a shocker as well but then he told me that you've been after some of his Jutsu and he said he might stop by later to give you some for the ANBU to use but ANBU only because he didn't want to give out his prized techniques. Now what am I forgetting? Oh yes, he knows his father which surprised me again but he said he didn't give a shit and walked off dispelling all his clones."
"All Jonin in here, his heritage is an SS-ranked secret and you will not find out so quit looking at me like that."
"When we walked back we started the standard bell test that has been given for generations and the others hid but Naruto stayed asking me if I had a spare copy of my book because he wanted to watch Sasuke get his and I quote "Ass handed to him" but he didn't want to wait for him to attack so he wanted to read so he wasn't bored."
Kurenai visibly became angered at this because she didn't want him becoming a pervert like his Sensei but ignored it because she could tell that the end of the story would be worth the wait.
"He went and sat by a tree and started reading for 20 minutes then Sasuke decided that he was tired of waiting and attacked with Taijutsu but I made him made by insulting the Uchiha clan for the laugh of it because I wanted to know what would happen if he was mad. He didn't disappoint, he fired a Fireball at me which shocked me to say the least and I kawarimi'd next to Naruto who suddenly started yelling at me to get away because he might fire another fireball and burn his 'Precious'.
I used the Doton:Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu to put him underground and Naruto burst out laughing at him but continued reading and 5 minutes later I hit Sakura with what has got to be described as the weakest Genjutsu I've ever used and she screamed and collapsed. Goddamn Banshee has a set of lung on her, it must run in the family."
Suddenly a woman in her 30's with pink hair sneezed.
"I watched Sasuke shout at Naruto for help saying that he should be 'Honoured' to help the elite and Naruto just laughed saying that he hadn't seen him there because he was enjoying the book but Sasuke had to ruin it. Eventually he caved and agreed to help him out of the hole because it was funny watching him getting beat by me."
Everyone in the room was listening to Kakashi's story with a smile on their faces because of the blondes antics, even Kurenai even though she was rather annoyed at Kakashi for given him a Icha Icha book to read.
"The alarm went and I said they failed and the usual Uchiha pride kicked in shouting at me saying I can't do that because of who he was and we had a nice conversation about how a clan has to have more than one person to be a clan which made him so very angry it was funny. Naruto was just smiling and when asked he took 3 bells out of his pocket saying that they hadn't failed because they had a bell each. Looking down I still had my bells so I asked him about it and he said besides the bells that he couldn't possibly fail our team anyway because the council want the Uchiha clan back but Sasuke can only do that if he reaches Jonin rank and has the CRA placed on him so I couldn't fail him which is actually right. Goddamn council and then he just walked off laughing at me which is why I was here early pouting like a little boy because I got outsmarted by a 12 year old blonde Genin."
Everyone stared at him for a minute and just burst out laughing at what he was told. "Ye, ye laugh it up, it could of happened to anyone of you guys!" He said and then Shunshin'd out of there to his usual spot at memorial stone.
"Alright that's enough laughing even if it was funny as hell." He pushed down on a button on his intercom and the secretary walked in, "Yes Hokage-Sama?"
"Please make a note to have Naruto-Kun come by sometime soon to deliver some of his Jutsu if he wants and please make sure the note explains how he will be paid for each Jutsu he delivers to me depending on the rank of said Jutsu."
He looked at the rest of the Jonin. "Dismissed" Everyone disappeared in different shunshins and all that was left was a blonde jinchuriki sitting on the couch.
"What a very interesting story Jiji, it was fun to annoy Kakashi like that and the Jonin are never going to let him live it down."
The Hokage looked surprised at seeing him here, "How long have you been there Naruto-Kun?"
"Oh since the begining, snuck in when the rest of the Jonin arrived; you need better ANBU which reminds me, I come bearing gifts for the ANBU and I mean ANBU. Not for Jonin who might join ANBU or something else these are high level techniques that would work best for the ANBU and I don't need them getting around so I will give you them for the ANBU but I don't want any one out of ANBU knowing them and I especially don't want any ANBU retiring and teaching these Jutsu to people."
"Fine fine, you win and I'll obviously pay you for each Jutsu that you give; oh and what was the Jutsu you were working on earlier today?"
"Oh you know just this and that and a little bit of a Futon:Kaze Doragon here and there, nothing major."
"You realize you can't make a wind dragon right?"
"Is that so? Maybe I should show you it? It's about 90% complete and although it is Chakra intensive it is one of the most destructive techniques that I've ever seen."
Naruto handed over the 5 techniques and received a slip with a note for the secretary for payment and then walked off to continue his training after speaking to the secretary obviously.
A/N: Sorry it took a while for the update, was busy with stuff :D
Futon: Kaze Doragon No Jutsu - Literally a dragon made of wind that cuts and destroys anything in its path. It can be used on one person or a group because of the wind cuts anything near it.
Doton:Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu - Earth style: Inner decapitation which drags the person's body underground and then just leaves their heads above ground.
