Today was the worst day of Yamanaka Ino's life. Well besides that time she missed that half off shoe sale. First she over slept because she was up all night shopping at for a new dress, then the shower was out of hot water. She had to take a freezing shower and on top of that all her hair care product bottles were empty. She barely made it to the academy with time to spare since Naruto hadn't went yet. The academy that's when her bad day got worse
*ninja academy*
Iruka was looking down the list of names when Ino slammed the door open and stomped inside. She looked a mess. Her usually clean sleek hair was matted and frizzled. Boy did she looked pissed stomped all the up to her seat mumbling about showers and stuff. When she got there she sat down and slammed her head on the desk. The whole class including Iruka and Mizuki the assistant teacher just looked at her. Nobody dared say a word not wanting to invoke her wrath. Iruka went back down the list coming to.
"UZUMAKI!! WAKE UP AND GET YOUR LAZY ARSE DOWN HERE" he yelled using his special big headed juts. The whole class turned to see said boy snoozing next to Shikamaru Nara. Ino sat up and glared holes into the back of his head. Wake up idiot so he'll stop yelling she thought. Tired of waiting she leaned forward and slapped him in the head.
"Wha" was Naruto's response as he lifted his head .
"Go fain your test idiot so I can go." Ino said menacingly from behind him. Naruto turned around to look t her, his blue eyes piercing through her. She shivered and turned away as he got up and walked to stand in front of Iruka.
"Ok Naruto we've been through this you need to perform Bushin, Henge, and Kawamiri to pass."
Naruto simply smirked and made the hand sign for Bushin. Calling out the technique he went p in a puff of smoke. When it cleared where Naruto formerly was were the Shodai and Nidaime Hokages. Iruka was stunned as he examined them.
"Good work Naruto. This is an excellent Henge Bushin combo. You got every detail perfect. "Iruka beamed at his favorite student. Uh students.
"Ok so all you need to do is the Kawamiri and you pass."Iruka said stepping back. The Hokage clones looked at each other then at Iruka.
"We all ready did Iruka sensei." They spoke in unison. Iruka looked at them confused.
"Wait when? Explain." Iruka asked.
"Gladly sensei" said a voice from the door. Iruka turned to see a third Naruto walk through it.
Sufficient to say Iruka was really confused. Seeing this Naruto started to explain.
"Ok before coming to class I made a clone outside so when you asked me to start I made another one In here and used the smoke to hide the substitute with the clone from outside then while u were distracted with the smoke I henge'd them both into the Shodai and Nidaime." Naruto explained making the hand sign to dismiss the clones in front of Iruka. Iruka was dumbfounded. He immediately started clapping."Bravo Naruto you pass." He said as he handed a beaming Naruto a headband. Naruto accepted it and walked back to his seat ignoring the surprised looks of his classmates and missing the look of admiration from a certain Hyugga. After he had sat down Iruka called Ino down for her test. She hadn't even heard him because she was so for in her stupor of Naruto actually passing and in such a fashion.
BAM. A cloud of chalk exploded in front of her much to the classes' amusement. Coughing and grumbling she stomped down to the front of the class trying to ignore people laughing at her. This day couldn't get any worse she thought.
"Ok Ino perform the academy three and you pass. Start."Iruka told her stepping back to give her room.
Ino passed the Henge, and Kawamiri techniques easy changing into her father and substituting with a bird that was on the window sill. Ino was beginning to release her Bushin when her whole body got numb. It was very subtle but it threw of off the release of her chakra. A puff of smoke and there was a crappy looking bloated clone next to her. The laughter that rang out in the class fill her with anger and her tears flowed as she ran out of the class.
*Later after class*
Ino was sitting on the swing outside the academy. She saw all the kids that passed be congratulated by their parents. With every hug and praise the not in her stomach twisted a little tighter. She dreaded going home. She knew after this she would be the black sheep of the family. I can't believe I failed. She thought. Her father would be so disappointed. Everyone in her family had been a ninja and now it was only him and her left. He counted on her to continue the line. What was she gonna do. She sat there depressed until a voice behind her spoke up.
"Are you ok Ino."She jumped off the swing and turned around only to find Mizuki sensei.
"Oh sensei it's just yea. Sigh yea I guess I'm ok." She said looking down
Mizuki smiled and rubbed his chin "Hm well would a way to past the test and become a ninja make you feel better."
Ino's head snapped up as Mizuki explained his offer.
*Later that that Night*
I did it. I freaking did it. Ino was delighted as she raced across the rooftops he fake scroll Mizuki-sensei wanted her to get strapped to her back. She never believed she could do it. She was gonna get to be a ninja. She was gonna make her dad proud..Ino crossed from the rooftops into the trees. She dogged in between trees searching for the clearing sensei said he'd meet her at. She finally found it when she burst through the trees and landed by the shed. She let out and exhausted breath as she untied heavy scroll and let it drop to the ground. She sat down cross legged and pulled the scroo\ll onto her lap. She was about to open it hen a voice stopped her.
"Don't open that Ino."Ino's head snapped up looking around.
"Who's there? Show yourself."
Laughter echoed near the tree line as Naruto walked out. He wasn't wearing his usual orange jumpsuit that Ino thought was hideous. Instead he was wearing black pants with a black shirt muscle shirt. Wow look at his muscles. Scoff Sasuke-kun is still better looking she said eyeing Naruto.
"What do you want Naruto I'm on a mission here." She said as Naruto walked towards her.
"Yea but the thing is it's a fake mission Ino. The Hokages forbidden scroll has been stolen and you have it."
"This isn't the real thing loser.It's a fake I had to steal so I wouldn't fail and could become a ninja after my screw up today." She said looking at Naruto like he was an idiot. Naruto sighed and rubbed his head.
"Ino I don't think your failing the test was an accident." he said seriously
"What do you mean. You think I failed on purpose you duck." she said looking at him incredulously. Naruto palmed his face as he tried to explain."No I mean did you feel numb at anytime during your Bushin technique."Ino blinked a few times before answering.
"Um well yea I did a bit when I was about to release my chakra for the Bushin. But how do you know that." she asked confused. Naruto thought for a moment before answering.
"I saw Mizuki doing hand signs behind Iruka senseis back before your technique went crappy. I went and looked up the signs and found out that they were a numbing jutsu used on prisoners before they were killed to show mercy and prevent pain."
"Wait so you're saying sensei failed me on purpose but why that doesn't make any sense." she said shaking her head.
"I didn't think so either till I saw him approach you after school. Then you looked really happy and ran off. I followed you to the tower and arrived as you was leaving with the scroll. I was about to leave when I saw Mizuki show up then the alarm rang and all the shinobi gathered before splitting off to look for you. Apparently he told the Hokage you might want the scroll since you failed your test to be a ninja. So here I am to help you clear your name so you don't get yourself killed." Naruto explained. Realization slowly crossed Ino's face as Naruto's head snapped up and searched the tree's. Thousands of kunai suddenly rained down on the leaving the nowhere to go their backs against the shed. Naruto flew through hand seals before he clapped his hands together and slammed them on the ground.
"Alchemic jutsu: Hell's Flash fire" Naruto yelled. Ino felt the earth rumble as it split open in a half circle around them. Dirt exploded in a thin dust as fire raced up and ignited it out off the chasm. The fire melted all the kunai before they got to Naruto and Ino. Ino looked at Naruto in shock of his power. This is the dead last we've mocked over the years. She thought. Naruto didn't get a chance to breath as the fire went down Mizuki came flying at him kneed him in the face. He tumbled across the ground and slammed into a tree unmoving. Ino was to scared to move and Mizuki turned to her.
"You know Ino Naruto was lying. I didn't make you fail. Now just give me the scroll and you pass." He said smiling at her. Could Naruto really have lied? It doesn't make sense .When Ino didn't move to give him the scroll Mizuki unstrapped a giant shuriken off of his back.
"You know Ino ninjas that hesitate die."Mizuki said. Ino nodded as she stepped back.
"Guess what? You hesitated." He said raising the shuriken to strike her down. Ino raised her arms over her head as she closed her eyes. I'm really gonna die. I 'm gonna die without taking Sasuke-kuns virginity.(In his room a blue haired emo kid sneezed)
What was that? Wait I'm not dead huh. Ino opened her eyes to Naruto standing a few feet from her carrying a shovel over his shoulder looking at the trees. Ino followed his eyes to see Mizuki sprawled against a tree his head bleeding profusely. He-He saved me. Naruto looked down at Ino ad smiled.
"Couldn't let you die on my watch now could I Yamanaka?"Despite the near death situation Ino couldn't help but smile at his small joke. Ino took a step towards Naruto and hugged him briefey before stepping back.
"Thank you Naruto." Naruto just tilted his head to the side and smiled before pushing her on the ground. Angered Ino looked up ready to curse at him when it died in her throat as she screamed. Naruto was nailed to the shed a giant shuriken going through his right arm.
"Damn demon. We should have killed him when he was a smaller, little twerp."Ino turned to see Mizuki leaned against the tree. He turned to face her.
"Hey Ino want to know a secret huh? Naruto is the." Whatever he was gonna say dies in his throat as his head was split in half horizontally by a giant shuriken. Ino emptied her stomach see the top half of Mizuki's head slide of the shuriken and hit the ground in a wet thud. Naruto sighed and sunk to the ground cradling his arm. Big mouth son of a bitch almost gave me away. Not long after the Hokage and Iruka showed up. Sarutobi checked out Naruto's arm as Iruka burned Mizuki's body.
"I'm fine old man. Ino passed out after I killed Mizuki and well you probably saw the whole thing anyway."Naruto said grunting as he used his good arm to stand up.
"My god Naruto your arm!!" Sarutobi exclaimed
"Ha oh this no big deal but...It...Stings" he croaked as he fainted into the Hokages arm. Sarutobi nodded to Iruka who grabbed a still passed out Ino and they shushined into the night only a burning mass holding their presence.
