My first review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!! Thank-you so much!!!!!!! But now I worry about disappointment... Oh well! On with the story.

Demons Dawn Chapter Six: Naruto Knows Best.

Suddenly the room became unbearably hot and uncomfortable for the blond blue-eyed boy. The room was dead silent as they watched the outsider with little interest. He was no more then a beginner in from the outside of Konoha, that just happened to know how to hide his chakra very well but nothing more. The outsiders weren't supposed to know so much.

To Sasuke's critical eye he saw that Naruto was becoming agitated and his chakra was off now. Now that he thought about it Naruto had done well up to the point that the other boys had come to watch the fight and watched him with as much a critical eye as Sasuke was doing now. But before he had been relaxed and cool.

"All right Uzumaki can you tell me what you know?" Iruka asked silent, truly wondering what the fox vessel knew. Naruto relaxed slightly.

"I know practically know all the history of Konoha," then offhandedly Naruto added, "that you chose to release anyways. But from what I have been able to piece together this village meddles a lot in the politics of the normal world." Iruka was slightly impressed.

"Shinobi techniques?" Iruka asked not expecting much.

"All the basics and maybe more," Naruto let the comment hang in the air.

"Show me," Iruka said. Naruto's confident smile was wiped off. Iruka began to wonder if it was because Naruto did not really know any of the techniques, most of the outsiders didn't. He was surprised when Naruto stood up straighter and put his legs together lifting his arms slowly.

"Any particular technique?" there was an edge to Naruto's voice. Now all the students were watching with some amusement at the boys' antics, he was pretending to know the seals.

"Kagebunshin," Iruka said firmly. Naruto blinked behind his glasses, this is going to be fun.

"Are you sure?" Naruto said. When Iruka nodded. Naruto shrugged he had given enough warning to the unsuspecting teacher.

He began the seals fast quick and precise without a moment's hesitation.

"NINJA CENTERFOLD (Sexy no Jutsu)!

All Sasuke could do was put his head in his hands and wonder why him?

----------

Naruto sat on the table looking at the teacher, he was awaiting his punishment. Doing the whole naked girl thing that resulted in his teacher getting a nosebleed had turned out not to be a very good idea to do on his first day.

Naruto lazily swung his legs as he waited his judgment. Inside he was wondering if he was going to get expelled for this, it wouldn't be the first time.

Outside Iruka was speaking to Sasuke.

"You do know that his behavior will fall on your head, right?" Iruka was serious, wondering why the Uchiha prodigy had even bothered to become a border at the school and even volunteered to have a roommate. He looked on at Sasuke's impassive face.

"Yes I know," he said not looking at Iruka.

"Then talk to him about it," Iruka said. At that Sasuke turned to the teacher and gave him a mocking smile.

"I doubt he would listen," the cold look returned to Sasuke's face.

"I still haven't tested him properly, I have to go back in and give him a warning," Iruka said and turned around. A slight shuffled told him to turn around.

"Iruka-sensei I have an idea that would help you test him better then asking to show you things," Sasuke spoke up, his voice devoid of emotion.

"That is?"

"Let him fight me," Iruka was about to interrupt when Sasuke rushed on, "I've been watching him. He's good, more then an outsider has a right to be. But every time he gets nervous he tends to squander his chakra and becomes rather clumsy. The way that he hid his chakra from you and managed to put the tag on was amazing for someone like him, he was cool calm and collected because he wasn't being watched. Besides I think that he is smarter then he acts, but still just as loud mouthed."

"All right Sasuke, I'll let you spar with him," after a second thought Iruka said, "no severe blood letting. Other then that it's free for all, and I will be watching."

Sasuke nodded as a wicked grin lit his handsome face.

----------

Naruto was watching Sasuke with a mix of emotions. Excitement being the reigning emotion. Now he was going to show the Uchiha what Tenchi-sensei made out of him, he would make his beloved sensei proud. And now there were no one around to make him nervous.

They were at the Ninja training ground were Sasuke had showed Naruto were most of the Shinobi hung out to check out the competition.

"All right Uchiha bastard I'll show you what my sensei taught me, and maybe more," Naruto smiled and waited for Sasuke's response. It came in the form of Sasuke rushing in much like Naruto had done the first time. Naruto rushed at him with narrowed eyes, he threw something at the moving Sasuke. As the chakra charged stone touched Sasuke he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Naruto ducked as he felt a feint presence behind him.

The rush of air above him was Sasuke's kick aimed squarely at his mid-riff. Naruto swung his leg in an awkward positioned kick, it was too slow and Sasuke jumped up in the air. Rather high up too.

Naruto immediately got up and watched him with a calculating look, the only warning to this was the set of his mouth and the tilt of his head. He took the chain from his pants and latched something on it that was too fast for Sasuke to catch.

"Big mistake Uchiha. In the air, unless you can fly, you can't dodge," Naruto said his voice cold with only a hint of his usual light energy. Naruto snapped on the chain to one of the wristbands and snapped his wrist up. The chain had a sharp kunai attached to it, it flew straight at Sasuke, then at the last moment Naruto snapped his wrist and the kunai with chain came back to him.

Sasuke cursed slightly as his feet touched the ground. How could he have not realized that the chain was longer then it had first appeared? Perhaps it had been genjutsu, the jutsu and the mind. And the glasses now that he noticed would hide Naruto's eyes but mostly hide to were he was looking. The eyes were after all often betrayed the unborn thoughts of people. He had to give Naruto credit especially after he had doubted the boy because of the way dressed.

"Have enough Sasuke?" Naruto said and grinned that smile Sasuke was beginning to associate with Naruto.

"No way Naruto," Sasuke said and took out a kunai putting himself in a fighting pose. Naruto pocketed the kunai with chain and took of the glasses and placed those in his pocket as well. His sapphire blue eyes held a dangerous cold light, Sasuke shuddered at he saw. He had seen that light only very few times in his life, one being at the worst event of his life.

Naruto ran a hand thru his spiky hair and looked to the side. Against Sasuke's better judgment he too looked were Naruto was looking. It was the red bird that Naruto had sighted before.

It looked torn and rather ugly now without the bright red plumage neatly in place. It would die soon if it didn't migrate.

Sasuke flicked his eye back to Naruto. He threw the kunai at the serene looking Naruto.

At the last moment, and perhaps a second too late he realized that it was nothing more then a clone.

"Now have you had enough Uchiha?" Naruto whispered softly in Sasuke's ear. Naruto held no kunai to his throat, rather it was the black chocker transformed strangling tool. It too had been longer been longer then it appeared this time Naruto had wrapped it around his neck at least three times, the black color had helped blend it in case someone noticed its potential.

The ribbon was wound tightly around Naruto's hand and starting to tighten around Sasuke's neck. Even then Sasuke said nothing and did nothing. Naruto was in such a position that any move he made could be rendered useless.

Suddenly Naruto took a kunai out of nowhere and threw it near Sasuke's ear. Sasuke did not move and the kunai flew past his ear and whistled to a nearby bush.

"You missed dobe," Sasuke said a wicked grin on his face.

"No I didn't," Naruto said. And at that same moment Iruka jumped out.

Naruto gave him a look and sighed in exasperation. Iruka had caught the kunai neatly in his hand. At that moment Naruto pushed Sasuke away from him.

"All you had to do was ask," Naruto said as he smiled.

"For how long were you aware of me?" Iruka asked truly curios. Naruto only smiled at the teacher but did not answer. Sasuke was still tense because he had almost lost and the jabbering of the two fools was not helping his mood. "Come back to the Academy tomorrow, you are worthy as a Cadet." Naruto smiled wide causing his eyes to close slightly.

"Come on Naruto lets go. It's almost curfew at the Academy dorms. We should leave," Sasuke said as tucked in his kunai and disgustedly started to walk away.

"Hey Uchiha bastard wait for me," Naruto whined and started to walk after him.

Iruka was left stunned. The last time that someone had dared insult Sasuke with the hard truth he had ended up in the infirmary for two weeks. And now was a little runt of a kid getting away with it without any consequence. The Naruto kid was indeed quite interesting.

End Chapter Six

Next Chapter: How (sort of) Naruto was chosen to go to Konoha.

So the sixth chapter is done. I had to go back and change the ninja levels, apparently I mistook cadets for Gunin, which have already graduated from the Academy. My bad. Any suggestions would be helpful. So please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;
