Gakuen Alice: Naruto!
I do not own Gakuen Alice or Naruto. They belong to Tachibana Higuchi and Masashi Kishimoto respectively. Any Anime, Manga, or Game influences are also not mine. I only own this idea.
(123 years after Village Creation. Friday, August 27th AKA, "VC")
It was a warm August day. Not a problem all day. The few remaining academy students were in the classroom, wiggling in their seats.. Well, except for Sasuke, but he just sat and brooded anyway.
It was a good day. The "Ninja Academy Genin Examinations" were today.
Everyone but Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Wabisuke Shobu, and Yamanaka Ino have taken it.
This test is done in another room, completely sound proof, with Chuunin guarding the door. Complete secrecy, as it should in a Ninja Village, so no one knows who passes or fails. Those who took the test, regardless of success, were taken to another room, so they can't tell their friends about the test.
This not only causes some nervousness to the students yet to test, it also gives subtle hints to one of the future duties as a ninja, Secrecy.
"Uchiha Sasuke," an instructor called, thanking the Gods above that this was almost done.
"Hn, see you later Dobe. That is, if you even pass," Spoke the last Uchiha smugly, getting up and leaving towards the door.
"Ha! You should save that 'stick-up-ass' attitude for when I show you my Hitai-ate! You'll need it to repair that massive ego Teme!" Shouted the gray haired Naruto from his seat, fully confident in his skills.
"Whatever Dobe," were the last words he said as he left for the testing room.
"Hmf, he obviously forgets who beat the hell out of him in sparring. My Zetta awesome power added him to the Heap! Crunch!" Naruto said, squeezing a fisted hand at the last word.
Ah-haa… Math joke.
"Don't talk about Sasuke-kun like that!" A loud voice screeched, jumping Naruto out of his inside joke.
"Aww, come-on Ino. What do you see in the Teme anyway. He's a jerk and has a superiority complex a kilometer wide. He could rent the Konoha stadium and you couldn't even eat a bagel in there without him and his massive ego crushing you. And nothing ruins a good bagel more than Sasuke-ego."
"Shut it moron! What do you know? Sasuke is kind. He just doesn't like to show his feelings. He's sweet, and strong, and wonderful! Strong too!" Shouted the fan-girl.
"Uhh.. You said strong twice."
"So? It's true." Ino said as she huffed and turned away.
'Whatever. I Zetta hate arguing.'
"..Man, I hope Hinata-chan got through ok," said a worried Naruto.
Naruto was about ready to start bouncing on the walls after the little shouting contest. Nervousness, anticipation, and worry all mixed around in his mind ever since the first name was called.
'Call me, call me, call me!! Come on! I'm gonna pass! Call me!' Thought Naruto, his leg started twitching up a storm.
"Uzumaki Naruto," announced the same instructor, enjoying how Naruto literally leaped from his seat in excitement and nervousness.
"See ya Ino, Shobu! Good luck!" Shouted Naruto as he left the room and walked down the halls towards the testing room.
"Ok, here you are, room 3-15," the instructor said, walking back towards the class room, ready for that bagel Naruto mentioned.
Oh, and lots of cream cheese. The Chuunin's only vice.
XX-YY
As Naruto walked into the room, he saw it was a room that was almost completely empty. No charts, no maps, nothing. Just a flat ordinary room. The only things in it were a desk with two Chuunin sitting at it near the center of the room, and an average training dummy at a corner, nearly the same color as the walls… weird.
The two Chuunin were none other than, Umino Iruka and Isano Mizuki.
'Girly name Mizuki,' Naruto thought, 'girly name.'
"Ok Naruto-kun, in this test you will have to show us your skill in Kawarimi, Henge, and Bunshin. We will also accept the use of one other Jutsu, as extra credit," spoke Iruka.
'Crap, Bunshin! I Zetta hate this Jutsu! Oh well, I gotta do it!" thought Naruto, building up his Chakra and moving his hands into the correct signs.
"Kawarimi no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted. Suddenly a small burst of smoke appeared. As it died down, Naruto was on the other side of the room, and the training dummy was in front of them.
"Good job Naruto-kun! As expected, you were always good at that one. I'd like to inform you that the dummy was part of the Kawarimi test. A disturbing number of students had to ask if there was something to use the Jutsu on, as they didn't notice it. 'Observe your surroundings.' Shinobi rule of conduct 6." Iruka quoted.
"Now, would you do the next Jutsu please," Iruka asked as Naruto walked back to them.
"Ok. Henge!" Shouted Naruto again, smoke once again clouding his body.
The mist dissolved to see the image of someone completely ordinary. No major identifying features, no fancy clothes. Just a normal looking brunette female. White shirt, gray pants, black shoes.
"Very original Naruto-kun, more than half the students did someone famous and noticeable. Obviously easier to do because they don't exactly have to think too hard, they already know the image, and don't have to focus much. Good job Naruto-kun. Now, the last required Jutsu," complemented Mizuki.
"Alright! Time to shine!"
Naruto was very, very nervous at this time. He had practiced this for so long, and had been able to create two decent clones. He tried to calm down before the Jutsu.
'This is always so hard! Gotta clear my head,' Naruto thought, then became completely silent.
'3....,' recited Naruto almost like a song in his head.
The silence was normal. Most students stood stationary for a few seconds to settle their nerves, but it was coming to two minutes and Naruto was still quiet.
"Um, Naruto-kun? Are you going to do the Jutsu?" Mizuki asked, confusion in his voice.
"Yeah, sorry, I was calming myself down," Naruto responded, already gathering Chakra.
A cry of "Bunshin!" was heard, and a large puff of smoke clouded Naruto. When it all cleared, there were two Naruto's, and one deformed.. thing. It somewhat resembled the young, aspiring Ninja, but looked more like a torture victim with all of it's blood drained, jaw broken, and hands disfigured to no hope of repair.
Naruto himself was looking at the ground, mentally kicking himself about the messed up clone.
"Naruto.. I'm sorry, but you need two or more normal Bunshin in order to pass," came Iruka's report.
"Ah, Iruka-kun," Spoke up Mizuki. "Surely that other Bunshin is good enough right? Why, with enough work, it could distract enemy Shinobi by making it look like their target already died!" Mizuki argued.
Naruto's shoulders twitched with hope.
"I'm sorry, but that was a total accident. It would be impossible to re-create it as an actual technique. I really am sorry Naruto, but you fail."
Throughout all of Iruka's explanation, Naruto had his head down, hands balled up in fists, purple-gray hair shadowing his eyes.
"Damn it!" he cursed as he ran from the room.
"Wait! Naruto-kun! You forgot the last test!" was shouted from the room, but Naruto didn't hear it. Even if he did, he was too lost in thoughts of failure to care.
'Damn it! Why? I did the damn Jutsu just yesterday!' Naruto thought, dashing to his usual spot in the academy, the lone swing.
He didn't know how long he sat there. He just knew he failed.
"Why.. To fail the entire test, just because I can't do one Jutsu. I did the others perfectly!… so why?"
Then he heard the voices of the parents waiting outside for their kids.
"Hey, isn't that..?"
"Yeah, damn thing should've died a long time ago."
"I heard he got some evil power. Something about Darkness."
"Feh, of course, what else would you expect from that demo-"
"Shh! You can't say that!"
"Well, good thing they didn't pass the thing. Can you imagine it as a ninja? It'd kill us all!"
'Damn it.. Why..?' was thought. He was so wrapped up in the words and his failure, he didn't notice someone appear at his side.
"You know," the person said.
Naruto quickly jumped and pulled out a kunai, hating that he let his guard down.
"Haha, don't worry Naruto-kun, it's just me, Mizuki-sensei," the man said.
"Oh.. Sorry sensei. What is it?" Naruto asked, looking down.
"Let's go somewhere more private. I'm sure you don't wanna talk much around them," he gestured to the crowd of parents.
"Yeah. Thanks. Can we go to the Hokage Mountain?" Naruto asked.
"Sure. That's fine," said Mizuki smiling.
"Ahh, this Zetta sucks! I almost got caught!" Naruto said as he bounded through the forest just east of the Hokage Tower. "Ha, well, at least I got to use that Justus on him. Dumb perverted old man."
As Naruto jumped down to the ground, he saw a cabin looked abandoned and sat the giant scroll next to him and opened it.
"Ok, just gotta learn a Jutsu? I can do that!" proclaimed Naruto as he looked through it.
"Hm? 'Naibu Kamae no Jutsu: Ichi, Ni, San'?" (1)
"What's this? It looks like one of those Fuin Jutsu the old man has in his office. Hmm.. How about this?" Naruto read and placed his hands into the same seal the old man does. A shout of "Un-seal!" was heard to all animals around, then a sudden 'poof' noise.
"Zetta sweet! It's a scroll!" Naruto nearly shouted. "
Huh? A warning? Alright then, let's see here:
"Warning: Jutsu uses no chakra, requires use of only spiritual energy. Use with extreme caution. Misuse may lead to rupture of internal organs, loss of sensory perception, internal bleeding, and "Chakra Dissemination Failure".
Recommendation: Meditation and mid to high level mastery of Spiritual energy, also named, "Chi".
Will lead to increase of spiritual energy, thus enhancing risk of creating an imbalance in potency of Chakra.
Level 1: Ichi.
Information disclosed in sub-scroll sealed in this section. Please refer to the Martial Art learned with this Jutsu.
(Please note that this condition is the same in parts Ni, and San.)"
"Wow.. Complicated. Oh well, I'll store this for later." Naruto said as he placed the scroll in his back pouch. "Who knows, the Martial Art may be awesome.
"Damn it! How the hell did I forget the set a specific location? Seventeen years as a ninja and I forget the most important detail! Shows how much being a teacher helped." Mizuki spat sarcastically, cursing his dulled skills.
"I'll just get that fool Iruka, he'll find him for me, then I'll kill him and the Demon Brat. Two birds with one stone. A Demon Brat and a Demon Lover. Not too bad for a nights work" He chuckled darkly as he leapt towards Iruka's apartment.
A Chuunin guard was the first to notice the Hokage laying in a small pool of his own blood. Of course the man panicked.
Was Orochimaru back?
Did old age finally get the powerful man?
Did a poor, defenseless Academy Student use an extremely stupid, yet surprisingly useful, Jutsu that caused copious amounts of blood to come flying from Sarutobi's sinus area?
… Naa, that last one was slightly far'fetched.
The things worried Ninja think up. Truly a wonder of the trained killer's psyche..
Enough about crack-pot theories, he needed to see if the Hokage was even alive.
Carefully flipping him onto his back, the Chuunin began his look-over.
"Pulse… Normal, if slightly fast. Good. He's alive. Breathing is normal, eyes have no dilation, so no drugs were administered. Genjutsu check…. Wow.. Didn't need to know that about our leader. Nice tattoo Hokage-Sama…"
At the end of the check-up, the so-far nameless Chuunin got out some smelling salts and cracked them under Sarutobi's nose.
He awoke with a start.
"Naked girls!" was shouted from the old professor, startling the Chuunin, and making him look around.
"Where?"
"Oh.. Forget that last statement. What time is it Kensuke-san?" the Hokage asked, recognizing the Chuunin as the late watch guard.
"Three-o'clock sir. Why?" The Chuunin, Kensuke, answered.
"This is very important. The Forbidden Scroll has been stolen! Gather all the Jounin. Now!"
"Yes Hokage-Sama!" was shouted as he vanished towards the Messenger Hawk Room.
Let this statement be known throughout the world.
"Kage Bunshin is Zetta Awesome!!" Naruto shouted as he fell on his back, exhausted from his nearly two hour training session, finally getting the Jutsu down.
Naruto read through the instructions first, knowing he would need as much info on the Jutsu as possible.
He only had to read one sentence and he wanted to start right away, but kept reading.
"Solid Clones! Science, eat your heart out! Haha!" He laughed, extremely excited about the possibilities, swinging his arms and legs around while on the ground.
"I make three Clones, send one out, have it read a book on square roots and the other two clones, and I, know it all! Right after it goes 'poof'! I said it once, I'll say it again! This Jutsu is Zetta awesome!"
Naruto started to get up, only to be halted at a large feeling of killing-intent crashed on his body.
"Hehehe. Looks like I didn't even need Iruka to find you. You led me right to you with your shouting. Moron." a familiar voice came cascading through the trees from all sides.
"Wh-who's there?! What do you want?" Naruto shouted, trying to get up.
His body was completely stiff, his instincts going into over-drive.
Make yourself small. Don't attract attention. Show you're not a threat.
These were what his body told him.
"Aww, I'm hurt. You don't recognize your own sensei's voice? Such a shame. I guess I'll have to remind you." came the cynical reply as a dark figure appeared.
"M-Mizuki-sensei? Wh-why are you using ki? Is this.. part of the test?" stuttered Naruto, fear evident in his voice.
"Ohh, I get it. I know you weren't the smartest one in class, but I thought we covered deceit and lies."
"Lies? B-but you said-"
"I said lots of things! Ninja are supposed to recognize lies and suspect everything! You know that little "Make-up test" thing? A lie! Get it now demon?" Mizuki shouted with hate dripping from his mouth.
"Demon..? Why? Why people call me that?" Naruto yelled at Mizuki from the ground.
"Oh? You want to know huh? Fine then. I'll tell you! Thirteen years ago, the fourth Hokage went into battle with a force of nature! The Kyuubi no Kitsune! With tails that could crush mountains, and a roar that could blow away even the deepest rooted tree!" He explained, reciting the textbook version.
"This being said, the beast was too powerful for him to kill. So he sealed it! Do you know where the Kyuubi is now?" Mizuki asked, not expecting an answer.
"Naruto! You are the Kyuubi incarnate! You are the demon! You destroyed over a third of this village and killed many!" He shouted, causing Naruto's eyes to widen as he started to shake.
Mizuki know this wasn't true. He knew about the seal. We was an ANBU at the time the seal was set, so he had the need-to-know information about it. He know the seal was designed to keep the Kyuubi from forcing Naruto's mind to crash.
However, it was also made to send some Youki into his body. Chakra pathways, bloodstream, brain-waves. Everything. And that made him a Demon. It altered his DNA to that of a half-breed. He knew all this, and wanted to see him suffer.
"Your kind killed my little brother! Now die demon!" he shouted as he threw one of his starfish Shuriken at Naruto, but he didn't hear him. He was still shaking at the knowledge.
'Demon…, demon…, demon… No one ever cared for me.. I'm alone.' thought Naruto before heard a 'thunk'… wait, what?
Naruto looked up to see a boy, not barely older than him. His clothes were odd. Green everywhere, and a red-clothed Konoha hitai-ate tied around his waist. His hair was cut into a bowl-like shape, and as the boy turned to look at him, he saw his eyebrows were huge. But what really caught his attention was the determination in his eyes. The raw strength of will was literally visible in his gaze.
"My name is Rock Lee! I will not let harm befall you!" the self-dubbed 'Konoha's Great Blue Beast' shouted as he dropped the large training log he blocked the shuriken with.
He had heard shouting and yelling from his usual training ground, so he picked up the log, seeing it as an impromptu defense or weapon, and rushed to the noise surprised to see a Konoha Ninja attacking a child.
Naruto was shocked. Someone cared? He didn't even know him and he was going to fight for him?
"Don't worry my new friend! I will protect you from this villain! My Fires of Youth will burn brightly!" the odd boy shouted.
'Someone cares.. I.. I must fight! That's right.. I have Hinata-chan. Iruka-sensei. The Old Man. The Ichiraku family! I won't loose to a damn fox trapped in me! I wont!' Naruto shouted at himself as he stood up and placed himself next to the strange boy in a green jumpsuit.
"Thank you for saving me." Naruto said.
"No problem. You are a member of Konoha. It is my duty, and my honor to help those in need."
At this Naruto smiled and turned his gray covered head towards the Traitor.
"Hey Mizuki-Teme! I'm gonna take you down! I'll show you and the villagers who's the Zetta-sons-of-Digits!" He shouted, all of his confidence back.
"I'm going to kick your ass and add it to the Heap! Crunch!"
A/N: See? I told ya. Rock Lee. I know it seems out of nowhere, but hey, I don't know the geography of Konoha, so training ground 14 might be near where they are. Well, in my story it is.
Japanese: Naibu Kamae no Jutsu: Ichi, Ni, San
English: Internal Style Techniques: 1, 2, 3.
Just some random stuff kinda. I had things flying out of me into this story I didn't even know I had.
I hope you guys like this chapter and the introduction to Lee. R&R. Rest and Review! Haha!
Next time:
"My power! It can do this much? Zetta amazing!"
"Shadows abound! Defeat the Traitor Mizuki!"
RasenFox, over and out!
