AN: Heheh, I forgot to say this last chapter, ahem: I don't own Naruto…
Chapter 1:
After living alone for most of his life, Naruto Uzumaki liked to believe that he was no one's fool. He thought his years as Konoha's outcast had toughened him up, made him different from the spoiled brats around him. He now knew that he had overestimated his abilities.
Or, as he stood frozen in fear, he had underestimated his naivety.
Either way I'm gonna die. He thought.
Recalling how he had failed the genin test horribly, Naruto remembered how Mizuki-sensei had easily manipulated him into stealing the Forbidden Scroll. Telling him that if he learned a technique from the scroll he would automatically pass.
What a load of horseshit. He thought. He must have been seriously addled from the blow of rejection and pretty desperate to swallow the bull Mizuki had fed him. But seriously, how was he to know that Mizuki was really a backstabbing traitor? The guy had been one of the few academy teachers who had given him a chance along with Iruka. He hadn't punished him for any reason and he hadn't given him "F's" when he certainly passed, like the other teacher's did. What was funny was that it wasn't the fact that he was host to Kyubi that pissed Naruto off, it was how easily he'd been led by a string that stirred his anger. Now he was paying for his idiocy, in the form of giant four bladed kunai headed for his tender twelve-year-old body. His only regret was that he would not being able to use the shadow clone explosion technique for vengeance. He wouldn't have killed per say, but he had a few choice people that desperately needed to be served the cold dish of revenge, exploding clone style.
Here it comes! Everything seemed to be in slow motion. Naruto found it annoying that although he could still see the kunai coming at him, his body wasn't fast enough to dodge.
But then something really weird happened.
At least that's the only way Iruka could describe it. Sitting down with another one of the giant kunai stuck in his lower back, Iruka had been forced to watch as Mizuki attacked Naruto. It'd seemed Naruto was done for, but the instant the kunai reached him, a sonic boom resounded throughout the forest. One moment Naruto was in danger of death by giant kunai, the next moment he was standing next to Iruka, completely unfazed.
Naruto felt strange, kind of like when he got a static shock, but all over his body. It was sort of uncomfortable, painful even. His eyes widened when he realized he was no longer in the same place he was a second ago. He stared back at his surrogate father with wide eyes. Iruka was staring at him with a gob smacked expression, as if he had just grown a second head.
"Did you do that Iruka-sensei?"
Mouth open, Iruka just shook his head. " I wish! How'd you do that Naruto?"
"Dunno." A grin appeared on Naruto's face. "But I know m'bout to kick some ass Iruka-sensei!"
Mizuki didn't know what was going on. His plans to manipulate Naruto had been rolling along smoothly until Iruka had shown up, it'd all went downhill from there. First, Iruka had stalled him by distracting him with a clone, then the stupid teacher had manage to block one of his giant kunai from hitting Naruto, and now the brat's managed to summon the ability to teleport! It'd already dawned on Mizuki that he was in deep shit if he didn't get away with the Forbidden Scroll soon. Even though he knew it would be next to impossible to hit a teleporting target, he really needed to get away with the Forbidden Scroll before ANBU arrived; Orochimaru-sama was a heartless bastard when his subjects didn't deliver. Mizuki shuddered in fear; bad things would happen if he failed now. With the fear of god, or snakes in his case, Mizuki prepared to go all out. The brat's going down!
That was Mizuki's last thought before he lost consciousness. With what sounded like a thunderclap, a clone appeared behind Mizuki and wordlessly exploded, instantly knocking the traitor out. Naruto smirked. While the fake teacher had been preparing to attack he had quickly made a "special" shadow clone and had it teleport up behind Mizuki. It was over before it had even started.
Naruto: one point. Backstabbing sum' bitch Mizuki: zero points.
Naruto's thoughts were broken by a loud cry by Iruka. "Naruto, you didn't kill him did you?" Naruto whipped around in surprised. "What… no! I just knocked him out, see Iruka sensei!" Naruto ran up to the fallen traitor and took his pulse, and as he thought, the ninja was still alive. Naruto hadn't put a lot of chakra into the "special" clone. Although his whole body will feel like one giant bruise. Naruto grinned. Vengeance was oh so sweet.
Iruka sighed in relief. He didn't like Mizuki any more than Naruto did, but he also didn't like the thought of Naruto becoming a killer. Besides, Ibiki from the Interrogation Department of the ANBU could still get some useful info from the traitor. All of that aside, Iruka realized that the skill Naruto had shown tonight definitely merited the reward of genin rank. He learned two A-rank skills in one day, and that teleportation ability is definitely S-rank!
"Naruto, get over here will you? And close your eyes too, I got something for ya"
The jinchuriki tilted his head in curiosity and he closed his eyes. When he felt Iruka's hand on his shoulder tugging him down, he complied. A moment later, he felt cloth go over his forehead and opened his eyes in surprise. Iruka smiled warmly at Naruto expression.
"Congratulations Naruto, You've earned it."
Later that night, Naruto struggled to go to sleep. It wasn't exactly surprising, considering the events that had taken place only half an hour before. After all, it wasn't every day that you learned that you had a giant demon fox taking up residence in your gut. But really Naruto wasn't sad or surprised. If anything, it made him relieved, It explained his miserable existence. Miserable was the best way to describe his circumstances, what Naruto had couldn't be considered living. Even a lonely kid like Naruto knew he didn't have a life.
But…
It also wasn't an everyday occurrence when you discovered a hidden ability to teleport anywhere you wished.
Naruto giggled like a little kid on Christmas day. Hell, today was the closest he'd ever experienced anything like Christmas. Today, he'd discovered the most kick-ass ability on the planet. In his mind, it blew away all competition. Sharingan, Byakugan, They could go to hell. I have to give this ability a name. Naruto thought. But what? Hmm, the sound it makes is pretty loud, sorta like a sonic boom or a thunderclap. I know! Thunder no Jutsu!! No, that's stupid. I'll have to think on it later…
Naruto continued to giggle in bed as he reviewed the day's events in his mind; Christmas had come early for Uzumaki Naruto.
The Third Fire Shadow of Konohagakure was called "The Professor" because he knew all the jutsu his village had ever produced. Or, at least he thought he had. Apparently a new bloodline limit had shown up. From Uzumaki Naruto no less.
"Let get this straight Iruka, Naruto has a bloodline limit. And this ability allows him to instantly teleport anywhere?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama"
After the incident in the forest and the ANBU had gathered up the Forbidden Scroll, Iruka had instantly gone to Sarutobi. In his office, Iruka related the events: Naruto some how learning two A-rank jutsu in one day, his apparent skill with them, and more importantly Naruto's seemingly new kekkei genkai.
"Hokage-sama, I really think it's a new blood line limit. When I questioned Naruto further, he said that he'd never known he could teleport before. In fact, when I saw him do it in the forest, he only did it instinctually when he was in danger." Iruka grinned, "I don't think Naruto had any idea what he was doing."
Sarutobi chuckled, receiving the humor. Then he became serious, "the only way we'll know for sure is if we get Ibiki to test Naruto."
The Third Fire Shadow stared out into the distance of his window and sighed. If this really was a new bloodline limit The Council would do anything to get their hands on it. It wouldn't be surprising if they made Naruto a stud for breeding purposes. Sarutobi's face hardened. I will make sure that never happens! When Sarutobi tore his gaze away from his window and stared back at Iruka, he blinked. "Something wrong?"
Iruka chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "Is it really necessary to get Morino involved? He is rather… intense" Sarutobi smiled; Ibiki's reputation as a sadistic bastard was only second to Orochimaru.
"Ah, don't worry Iruka, you see under Ibiki's tough exterior, is a soft and gentle man." Sarutobi and Iruka stared at each other for a full minute, and then broke out laughing. Their guffaws ringing out into the night.
In his mind Iruka, berated himself. Sarutobi loves Naruto almost as much as I do, I'm sure he wouldn't purposely put Naruto in harm's way…
When said genin woke up, he wasn't in the same position he was when he went to sleep. Yes, a lot of people toss and turn in bed. What most people didn't do is end up magnetized to their ceiling.
Naruto supposed when he looked back on this down the road it would be funny, but right now he was scared shitless. If it weren't for the fact that his bed was directly beneath him Naruto would have been screaming for help by now. He might not have received any, but scream he would do. Right now, he was stuck to the ceiling facing the ground. This is cool view though, sorta gives you a knew perspective, yeah this isn't so bad. Then his whole body started tingling, and all of his hairs that were standing on end drooped. Uh-Oh.
Naruto did a belly flop on his bed.
What was that all about? Yesterday I can teleport and now I'm a human magnet. I really need to talk to Iruka-sensei.
Grumbling, Naruto crawled off his bed and moseyed on down to his bathroom. After completing his early morning routine, he plopped down on his small kitchen table for a hearty breakfast of miso ramen and milk. As he went to grab his fork, it wobbled closer to his hand.
Wait…
His fork had moved, without him touching it.
Naruto tilted his head in wonder. Right now his hand was inches away from the fork. He moved his hand to the right, and as if tied to his hand, the fork moved to the right. He moved his hand to the left, it moved there too. The amazed blonde stared at his hand in awe.
Life just kept getting better.
AN: Hey people, I need help thinking up a name for Naruto's teleporting ability. It can be anything as long as its electricity related. Other than that, R&R…
