Chapter One

Genin Exam

A boy named Uzumaki Naruto was running away from two Chuunin carrying a bucket of paint in hand. Naruto vandalized the Hokage monument.

"Hey, Naruto! What the hell have you done!" shouted a Chuunin.

"Your not gonna get away this time!" shouted another.

Then Naruto jumped up onto a rooftop and the Chuunins followed him. And a chase atop the rooftops began.

"Ha ha ha! Shut up!" shouted Naruto. "None of you can do this can you? But I can, I'm great!"

"Third, we have an emergency." Said a Chuunin

"Hokage-sama!" said another.

The Sandaime Hokage sighed. "What did Naruto do this time?"

"Well, he painted all over the Hokage monument."

"He vandalized them!"

The chase was still on with the two Chuunin hot on Naruto's tail. Fortunately his skills in stealth were amazing, when they landed on the ground Naruto quickly hid in front of a fence using a special disguise cloth. The Chuunins went right by him. "Ha, ha, ha. Too easy!" said Naruto rubbing the back of his head.

"Naruto!" shouted a Chuunin named Umino Iruka.

"Ahhhhhh! What are you doing al of a sudden Iruka-sensei?" asked Naruto as he landed on the ground because Iruka startled him.

"What are you doing out of class Naruto?" said Iruka as he pointed to Naruto, and then dragged him back. "Naruto, you failed the Genin exam three times in a row. Shapen up or you're gonna have to do it again!" lectured Iruka. "Class, we're going to have a review test for the Henge no Jutsu (Transformation technique)! And those who have already passed have to line up as well." shouted Iruka. This made the class moan at the stupidity of Naruto. Well, almost everyone.

"Haruno Sakura going!" said the pink haired Kunoichi. "Henge!" shouted Sakura as she was enveloped in smoke and transformed into Iruka.

"Good job Sakura!" said Iruka congratulating the girl as she changed back.

"I did it!" said the Kunoichi with glee.

"All right!" shouted Inner Sakura.

"Did you see that Sasuke-kun?"

"Next, Uchiha Sasuke." Said Iruka.

"Okay." Said the raven haired Shinobi as he also transformed into Iruka.

"All right." Said Iruka. "Next, Uzumaki Naruto." Said Iruka

"How troublesome." Said the class slacker, Nara Shikamaru.

"This is all your fault!" said one of the top Kunoichi, Yamanaka Ino.

"So what?" said Naruto as he walked up to the front of the room.

'Naruto-kun, do your best.' Said the white eyed heiress of the Hyuuga family; Hyuuga Hinata.

"Henge!" shouted the blonde haired Shinobi as blue chakra surrounded him. Then a beautiful woman appeared wearing absolutely nothing and having only smoke cover the most inappropriate parts. Then Iruka had a rather comical nose bleed sending him back across the room. Then Naruto changed back and started laughing. "Ha, ha, ha, what do you think? I call that my Oriole no Jutsu! (Seduction Technique)" shouted Naruto as he pointed at his teacher.

Bake! Don't invent such idiotic Jutsus!" shouted Iruka. The yell had such force that it blew back Naruto's hair.

After class Naruto's punishment for vandalizing the Hokage monuments. "Damn it, damn it," he muttered with disdain in his voice.

"Sorry Naruto, but you're not going anywhere till you finish cleaning up the monument!" shouted Iruka with a little bit of pleasure in his voice.

"So what? It's not like there is anyone waiting for me." Said Naruto with a voice that made Iruka feel a bit of pity for the blonde.

"Hey, Naruto." Said Iruka.

"What?"

"If you clean it all up I'll treat you to some ramen."

"Really? All right I'll do my best!" shouted Naruto with excitement. When ramen is on the line Naruto would do anything.

A few hours later Iruka took Naruto to the best ramen shop in all of Konoha. Ichiraku Ramen. Iruka watched as Naruto slurp up his ramen. "Naruto… Why did you vandalize the Hokage monuments? You do know who the Hokages are, right?" said Iruka.

"Yeah, of coarse." Said Naruto as he gulped down the rest of his ramen. "The Hokages were the most powerful ninja in the village right? And Yondaime was the one who killed the Kyubi."

"Then why did you do that?"

"One day I'm gonna be the Hokage, and not just any of the Hokages, the greatest of them all! Then all the people in the village are going to respect me. Oh Iruka-sensei, can I ask you a favor?" said the blonde.

"You want another bowl? Right, Naruto?" said Iruka as he stared at Naruto.

"Actually, can I put on your hitai-ate?" begged Naruto like a little kid.

"What, you mean this?" said Iruka as he pointed to his hitai-ate. "Sorry, but this is for when you graduate from the academy. You might get yours tomorrow."

"Aw man." Pouted the blonde.

"And is that why you took off your goggles?"

"Yeah… I want another bowl!"

"WHAT!"

The next day was the most dreadful day of any academy student, it was, (A/N: Dun dun duuuuuuuuun!) the Genin exam!

"We will now start the final exam!" said Iruka to the class. "When we call your name come to the next door class. The subject shall perform the Bunshin no Jutsu (Replication Jutsu)."

'Noooo! That's my worst technique ever!' thought Naruto 'But, I have to do this to become a Shinobi.' "Bunshin no Jutsu!" shouted Naruto aloud as the chakra appeared around him. Then the smoke appeared and by his side lied… A totally dead bunshin lying on the ground. 'Kuso.' He thought. His thought were finalized when Iruka started twitching and said…

"YOU FAIL!"

"Iruka-sensei his did make a bunshin that could distract an opponent. We could pass him." Said the assistant sensei Mizuki. Which got a grin ear to ear from Naruto.

"Mizuki-sensei, all the other students did three successful bunshins. Naruto only did one and it is practically dead." Said Iruka, which made Naruto grit his teeth in frustration. "I can't pass him."

Naruto sat on the swing, sulking at his failure. When Mizuki came to Naruto with a smile on his face.

"Naruto, there is another way to pass." He said.

That night Naruto snuck into the Hokage's Office and stole a large scroll called the Scroll of Sealing. Then he ran into a forest and hid there.

"Let's see, the first technique on the list is… Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. (Mass Shadow Replication Jutsu)" Said the blonde, with a voice that made him sound in deep thought. "Not this again! Why is everything revolving around the Bunshin no Jutsu?" whined Naruto. He spent hours trying to master the Taju Kage Bunshin, when he heard the footsteps of someone nearby.

"Hey, Naruto." Scowled Iruka.

"Hi Iruka-sensei." Said Naruto rubbing the back of his head. "I only learned one technique."

'He practiced here… until he was all worn out?' thought Iruka.

"Now I get to graduate. Right?" said Naruto. "If I show you a technique from the scroll you'll let me graduate, right?"

"W-who told you that Naruto?" said Iruka with worry on his face.

"Mizuki-sensei!" said Naruto as he jumped and did a 180. "He told me about the scroll and about this place."

Then kunais came whirling through the air. Iruka pushed away Naruto and took most of the kunais.

"I'm surprised you knew about this place Iruka!" said Mizuki from atop a tree branch.

"Mizuki, you traitor!" shouted Iruka.

"Naruto, give me the scroll!" shouted Mizuki.

"W-what's going on here Iruka-sensei?

"Naruto, what ever you do, don't give Mizuki the scroll." Said Iruka, pointing to the blonde. "That scroll has many forbidden Jutsus. Mizuki used you to get the scroll from you!"

"Naruto, don't listen to Iruka, he is afraid of you!" said Mizuki

"What?" said Naruto confused.

"What the hell are you saying Mizuki!" shouted Iruka. "Naruto, don't listen to him!"

"Ha, ha, ha. Naruto, I'll tell you the truth!" chuckled Mizuki.

"Don't!"

"Naruto, you are the vessel for the Kyubi no Yoko!"

"What?" said Naruto with a barely audible voice.

"The village has been tricking you for all this time!" shouted Mizuki. "Didn't you think that it was strange that they treated you like garbage for no reason?"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" shouted Naruto as chakra engulfed him.

'Naruto…' thought Iruka

"You could die for all we care. No one will ever recognize you. Iruka hates you to!" shouted Mizuki who looked more like a monster.

Iruka grabbed his wound from the kunai.

'Iruka, Naruto grew up without knowing love of a parent and will be hated because of the attack twelve years ago.' Iruka remembered the talk he had with the Sandaime. 'So he pulled those pranks to get everyone's attention. Whatever the form he wanted to get the recognition of his existence. Even though he tries to act as though he can take all the hatred, he is having a very difficult time.'

"Die kitsune!" shouted Mizuki twirling his Fuuma Shuriken and then threw it at Naruto

Naruto fell to the ground and started crawling away from the impact spot of the fuuma shuriken.

"Naruto, duck!" shouted Iruka as Naruto stopped and ducked.

Naruto closed his eyes, and when he opened them he saw that Iruka had took the blow in the back. "W-why Iruka-sensei?" stuttered Naruto.

"Why, Naruto?" said Iruka. "Because you're the same as me. When my parents died no one complimented me or recognized me anymore. I was dead last in class so I always screwed up. I wanted to get their attention. I couldn't get anyone's attention when I was a good student… So I acted like a total idiot. It was hard. Naruto, you know what it's like to be lonely, right?" said Iruka, who was now starting to cry. "It was tough right? I'm so sorry Naruto. You didn't have to feel that way if I was more aware." Cried Iruka.

"Heh, heh, heh. Don't make me laugh! Iruka detests you because you killed his mother and father! He just wants the scroll."

Naruto then ran away into the forest.

Iruka was lying on a tree; he gave Mizuki a speech on how Naruto wasn't the Kyubi, and how Naruto was just Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha.

"Iruka, I said I'd kill you later, but I guess I can kill you now." Said Mizuki. "Now, you die!" he said as he threw the fuuma shuriken at Iruka.

Iruka braced for impact and waited for the sweet embrace of death. But, it didn't. When he looked up he saw that Naruto, kicked Mizuki away and diverted the attack. 'Naruto!'

"If you hurt Iruka-sensei. Or I'll kill you!" shouted Naruto defending his teacher and friend.

"Talk while you can gaki, I'll kill you in one blow!" shouted Mizuki.

"Go ahead and try. What ever you do I'll throw it back one thousand fold." Said Naruto as he put his hands into a hand sign that looked like a cross.

"Why don't you try it kitsune?" shouted Mizuki.

"Alright. Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" shouted Naruto as the entire forest was filled with Naruto clones.

'Naruto… you mastered the Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) no Jutsu?' thought Iruka with disbelief. 'It's a Jounin technique that creates a solid body.'

"N-no way…?" stuttered Mizuki.

"What's the matter?" said all the Naruto clones. "I thought you were gonna kill me in one blow? Come on come and get me!" said all the Naruto clones as Mizuki fell over. "If you're not gonna make the first move…" they said cracking their knuckles. "We will!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Mizuki with horror in his voice.

Punches could be heard all the way into the Hokage office.

Twenty minutes later the punches stopped and Mizuki lied on the ground, defeated.

"Maybe I hurt him a bit to much." Said the blonde rubbing the back of his head. "Iruka-sensei are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah…" said Iruka. "Hey, Naruto, come here I want to give you something."

"Sensei, can I open my eyes?" asked the blonde with closed eyes.

"Yes Naruto, you can open them now." Said Iruka.

When Naruto opened his eyes he saw that Iruka wasn't wearing his hitai-ate and that he was holding his goggles.

"Naruto, congratulations. You graduate." Said Iruka as dawn broke. He looked at Naruto who had a gaping mouth. "Let's get some ramen. My treat."

Naruto who was about to smile jumped at Iruka. "Thanks Iruka-sensei."

End Chapter One.

A/N: All right! The first official chapter complete on my not-so-new laptop!

Just so you know I'm not going to have the fight between Naruto and Ebisu. I just don't think it's that essential.

I also want to introduce the first OC character.

So until next time!

Chapter Two:

He's Bald, He's Young, and he's Gespens: The Blood Lust Ninja!
