Naruto: A Second Chance
A/N: In this chapter Naruto will do the genin exams and Kakashi's survival test, sorry it took so long but I've been busy and I was still getting ideas, I'm thinking about just making this a harem because Naruto went back in time so why shouldn't he get friendly with every major kunoichi, right? Well thanks for all of the reviews and ideas, R&R please.
Chapter 6: The Genin exams and Kakashi's test.
Naruto was having a nice dream where old-man Ichiraku made him 1'000 bowls of ramen for free.
BOOM! There was a loud thunder storm was brewing outside and Naruto woke with a jolt. He looked out of his window, "Hmm, it didn't rain the last time, oh well." He thought to himself.
Naruto got out of bed and went into his bathroom and took a shower and brushed his teeth and went to eat his fill of instant ramen.
He got dressed, he wore a black shirt with a red swirl on the back (like he wore when he was younger) and a pair of black pants that went a little past his knees and a pair of black ninja shoes, "I still can't believe I used to wear the ridicules orange jumpsuit." He said to himself.
He grabbed his umbrella as he walked out his door, and started to head to the academy, "Hmm, the genin exams are today, this should be interesting." He said while walking.
It was raining extremely hard by the time he reached the academy, he walked in the building and twirled his umbrella by its handle so all of the water was off and he held it on his shoulder as he walked into his classroom.
Nowadays the younger generation respected Naruto, he wasn't the village heartthrob like Sasuke, but he was quite the looker according to most of the girls.
"Hey Naruto-kun." A girl said as she walked past him, "Hey yourself." He replied.
Naruto sat down in his chair and put his feet on the table, looking cool, a young girl sitting in the back couldn't take her eyes off of him, "Naruto-kun, I wish I could tell you how I feel…" she sighed, "Hey, is there something wrong, Hinata?" Said the boy sitting next to her, he wore a big coat and had a small dog perched on his head.
"Huh, n-no Kiba-kun, I'm fine." She replied reassuringly.
No more than two seconds after that everyone in the room heard a loud rumbling right outside the door. BANG! The door busted open revealing two sopping wet girls, one had long straight pink hair, while the other had an extremely long blonde ponytail.
"I win!" they shouted in unison, they both panted, "I win." Said the blonde one, Yamanaka Ino, "No way I beat you by at least 1/10 of an inch." Replied the pink haired one, Haruno Sakura.
At that moment a large puff of smoke erupted and Iruka was standing in front of his class, "Settle down everyone!" he shouted and everyone got quiet, "thank you now today is the genin exams, we will begin with a written exam then continue with a display of the Bunshin technique."
Iruka passed out the papers and everyone started, Naruto just simply answered the questions with ease, "This is just too easy." He sighed.
"Well since everyone is done with the written portion, we will begin with the Bunshin technique, I will call your name one at a time and when your name is called you will report to this room," he pointed a door to his left, "Now we will begin, Akamichi Chouji…"
Naruto sat at his desk and he was drawling a picture of him bashing Orochimaru's head with a giant hammer when he heard his name, "Uzumaki Naruto…" Naruto got up and went to the room, "Now please do a Bunshin technique." Said Iruka, Naruto preformed a ram seal "Bunshin no jutsu!" there were not three but fifteen Naruto clones.
Iruka and Mizuki were astounded by this display, "Congratulations Naruto you passed." Iruka said happily, "I knew he could do it I'm very proud of you, Naruto." He thought.
"I'm so proud of you son," Said a man, "I'm going to make all of your favorites tonight." A woman said happily.
All of the kids parents were out in front of the academy praising their children, it stopped raining and the sun was showing.
Naruto sad on a swing in the shadow of a tree, he was sad, "I still wish I had a family to praise me..." he said quietly to himself, and a single tear fell from his eye, he quickly wiped away the tear.
"Hey you alright, Naruto?" Said a voice from the shadows, "Mizuki-sensei, yeah I'm fine." Naruto said. "Hey why don't you come with me and we can talk about it, ok?" Mizuki asked.
"Hmp, your just going to use me again." Naruto thought, "Alright." Naruto got up and went with Mizuki.
"Iruka I want to speak with you later." Said the Sandaime, "Hai, Hokage-sama." Iruka answered.
Mizuki and Naruto sat on the Hokage monument, "You want the adults of the village to respect you, am I right?" Mizuki inquired, "Something like that, I just wish I had parents..." Said Naruto.
"I don't think I can help you there but I can get the adults of the village to respect you, the Hokage has a special scroll in his home, if you can get it and learn a jutsu they will respect you in the village." Mizuki said.
Naruto went and got the scroll from the Hokage's home and rushed to the meeting place in the forest.
Iruka was lying on his bed deep in thought, suddenly there was a loud knock on his door, "Iruka, open the door!" someone yelled from outside, "Mizuki?" Iruka was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"It's Naruto, he stole the first Hokages' scroll of sealing!" Mizuki shouted, "NO!" Iruka was shocked.
The Sandaime was standing in front of about twenty jounin and chunin, "This can be any old prank Hokage-sama!" Shouted a jounin, "Naruto needs to be severely punished for this!" Shouted another.
"Just bring Naruto here." Sandaime ordered, his hand flew outward to his side and all of the ninja disappeared.
Naruto yawned, "Well, I'm bored, I wonder what else is in the scroll?" Naruto thought to himself. He opened the scroll and started reading, "There is some good stuff in here." He said to him self as he copied some of the techniques on some scrolls of his own.
"It looks like a found you, Naruto." Said Iruka in an angry and frustrated voice.
"Huh, hey there Iruka-sensei." Naruto said simply.
"Don't hey me Naruto, you're in a lot of trouble." Iruka was still angry. "Why did you take the scroll?"
"Why, well Mizuki-sensei told me that if I took this scroll I would be respected by the adults of the village." Naruto said.
"Mizuki?" Iruka thought, he heard a noise and saw a mass of shuriken flying towards him. Clank! All of the shuriken were deflected by shuriken thrown by Naruto.
"You know Mizuki you always were a mediocre shinobi." Naruto said carelessly.
"The hell did you say, ill kill you, you little bastard!" he took off one of the large stars on his back and threw it at Naruto, who caught it and dropped it to the ground, "You'll have to do better than that." Said Naruto and he leapt up and kicked Mizuki in the face.
"You little bastard, I bet you don't know what you are, do you?" Mizuki said, "No Mizuki, its forbidden!" Iruka shouted.
"Naruto did you know that you are responsible for the death of many shinobi of this village, Naruto you are the Kyuubi!" Mizuki yelled hoping to traumatize Naruto, but it didn't seem to have any affect on him.
"Is that all you wanted to say, I'm disappointed." Said Naruto, "Your not getting this scroll, I won't let you endanger my village, or hurt Iruka-sensei, because if you do I will kill you."
"Naruto?" Iruka was surprised about how well Naruto took this information so easily.
"Try it boy, I can destroy you in one strike!" Mizuki yelled.
"Well if you insist, Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" there were one-thousand Naruto's, "so still think you can destroy me, baka?" said Naruto. There were sounds of punches and Mizuki's screams.
"Are you alright Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, Naruto that was…amazing." Iruka was still amazed by Naruto.
"Did anyone find him?", "No he wasn't anywhere." The jounin and chunin were baffled about how Naruto just disappeared.
The Sandaime walked out of the Hokage tower after watching Naruto's display, "It's alright everyone, Naruto will return soon with the scroll." The Hokage stated.
A few days later the new genin were going to placed into teams, Naruto was sitting with his feet on his desk, he sat not too far from Sasuke, "That dobe, I can't believe he was made top rookie along with me." Sasuke thought angrily.
As usual there was loud rumble out side of the classroom and Ino and Sakura busted through the door declaring themselves the winner then getting into an argument about who won.
Sakura looked up and saw Sasuke sitting with an open seat next to him, "Hey Sasuke-kun can I sit next to you?" Sakura asked, "Hn" was Sasuke's only reply, "Hey I want to sit next to Sasuke-kun." Argued Ino.
Then all of the girls in the class (excluding Hinata) started to argue about who got to sit next to their precious 'Sasuke-kun'.
Naruto sighed at the girls' display, "Hey you got a problem!" they all yelled, "Yeah I do you wont shut up and stop arguing about who gets to sit next to Sasuke, it's really getting on my nerves." Naruto said very annoyed.
"You better keep you mouth shut, Naruto!" Yelled the girls, "And who's going to make me, all of you, I'd like to see you try." Naruto said in a scary voice, all of the girls got scared when they looked into his eyes because his pupils were slitted like when he used the Kyuubi only his eyes were still blue.
"What's with his eyes, they're so frightening." The girls thought.
In the end Sakura ended up sitting in between Naruto and Sasuke.
"So that's Uzumaki Naruto?" Said a jounin woman, she had red eyes, yes this was Yuuhi Kurenai.
"That's right he is one of our more promising students." Said the Sandaime.
"Hmm, Uzumaki Naruto." Thought a jounin with gravity defying silver hair and his headband covering his left eye, this was of course Hatake Kakashi.
"Now team seven will consist of Uzumaki Naruto," this caught Naruto's attention, "Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke." Iruka called out.
"Hell yeah I'm with Sasuke-kun, and not that pig Ino, and I guess Naruto isn't all bad." Sakura thought to herself, she turned around and made a peace sign and stuck out her tongue at Ino.
"Team eight will consist of Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akamichi Chouji." Iruka continued.
"Team ten will consist of Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino, well that concludes with the team selections, now after the lunch break you will meet your new jounin sensei's, have a good lunch." Iruka finished.
All of the children got up and went out side. "Hey wait up Sasuke-kun!" shouted Sakura but Sasuke wasn't to be found, she looked down at the ground then noticed Naruto walk by, "Hey Naruto?" She asked, "Hmm" He answered and turned around, "Well I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch me and get to know each other better?" Sakura said.
"Well ok." Naruto agreed, they went and sat down and discussed various topics, then the bell rang signaling all the students to go inside to meet their jounin instructors.
"You guys know he's going to be late right?" Naruto asked, "What makes you so sure dobe?" Sasuke asked, "Just trust me on this." Naruto said.
And sure enough two hours later Kakashi walked through the door to meet his team, as he walked in there was an explosion and he was covered in chalk dust, "That's what you get for being two hours late!" Naruto and Sakura said angrily.
"Hmm, my first impression of you guys, I hate all of you." Kakashi said, "Meet me on the roof in ten minuets, I need to clean up."
Ten minuets later they were on the roof, "Now how about we introduce ourselves, you know your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dream for the future that kind of thing" Kakashi said.
"Umm, sensei how about you introduce yourself first so we know how to do it?" asked Sakura
"Alright, well I'm Hatake Kakashi , my likes and dislikes, I don't feel like telling you, my hobbies I have lots of hobbies, my dream for the future I haven't really thought about it." Kakashi said.
"Well that was pointless all we learned was his name." Sakura said
"How about we start with you over there." Kakashi said pointing to Naruto.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I love ramen, I dislike the three minuets you have to wait for the ramen to cool, I love trying different types of ramen, and my dream for the future is to become the greatest Hokage." Naruto said.
"I'm Haruno Sakura, I like…" she looked at Sasuke and squealed, "I dislike that damned Ino-pig, my hobbies are…" She looked at Sasuke again and squealed, "My dream for the future is…" She squealed the loudest.
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke, I don't particularly like anything, and I hate a lot of things, I don't have any hobbies, and my dream, no it's an ambition, I will resurrect my clan and kill a certain man."
"Ugh, great I've got an idiot, a fangirl, and an avenger." Kakashi thought, "Well meet me at training ground seven tomorrow at seven a.m. sharp, we will begin our test then." Kakashi said.
"Test, what do you mean Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"It will be a survival test to determine if you will become genin or not." Kakashi answered.
"But I thought we were genin, what about the test we took?" Sakura was very confused.
"Out of the twenty-seven student that passed only nine are going to become genin." Kakashi said. "Ill meet you tomorrow, oh and some friendly advice, don't eat breakfast tomorrow or you'll puke." And with that Kakashi disappeared into a puff of smoke.
"Well I'm off, see you guys later." Naruto said and he took off.
"So, Sasuke-kun do you want to go on a date?" Sakura asked.
With this Sasuke was gone in the blink of an eye. "Aww…" Sakura sighed and walked away sadly.
The next day at seven a.m. "Morning." Naruto said tiredly, "Morning." Said Sakura said tiredly also, Sasuke didn't say anything.
An hour passed Naruto and Sakura were sitting back to back asleep.
Two hours passed and Naruto was juggling his kunai.
Three hours passed, "Yo" Kakashi said as he appeared in a puff of smoke.
"YOU"RE LATE!" Sakura and Naruto shouted in unison.
"Sorry I got lost on the road of life." Kakashi said blandly.
"Yeah right I bet he was buying one of ero-senin's books." Naruto thought.
"Well lets get started," Kakashi said and he pulled out two bells, "You will have till noon to get one of these bells from me, and if you get one you pass and if you don't you get tied to one of those stumps on the grounds, alright any questions?"
"Wait there are three of us and only two bells, what gives?" Sakura demanded.
"Well one of you will end up tied to a stump, well begin!" Kakashi shouted.
They leapt off.
"Hmm, there are good at hiding ill give them that." Kakashi thought, he sensed a presence behind him, it was Naruto, "You're not very smart are you?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm stronger than you think!" Naruto shouted and ran forward at Kakashi.
"Ninja fighting style number one, Taijutsu, hand to hand combat."Kakashi said as he put his hand in his kunai pouch.
"Please don't tell me he's going to…" Too late Kakashi pulled out his favorite book, Icha Icha paradise.
"Why the hell are you reading during our battle!" Naruto hated it when he was underestimated.
"To see what happens in the story of course, your attacks are so weak it doesn't matter weather I'm reading or whatever." Kakashi answered.
"We'll see about that!" Naruto yelled and he rushed forward and threw a punch at Kakashi, Kakashi barley dodged the punch, "He's better than I thought." Kakashi thought.
Kakashi disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto, he made the tiger seal and shouted, "Konoha secret Taijutsu, ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN!" he hit Naruto but he erupted into smoke, "Kage Bunshin!" Kakashi yelled in his mind.
"Hehe, right back at you Kakashi-sensei, ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN!" Naruto shouted and hit Kakashi in the ass with his fingers. Kakashi's eye widened "Hit with my own made up attack, how does he know it?" Kakashi thought as he went flying through the air.
Sasuke saw his chance and ran towards Kakashi's position, "I will get a bell!" He shouted as he started attacking Kakashi, Kakashi grabbed Sasuke's arm and tossed him a little ways away, "Your good ill give you that." Kakashi said.
"I'm different from them, Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Sasuke shuted and a large fireball busted out of Sasuke's mouth. After the smoke cleared Kakashi was nowhere in sight. "Above, left, right, where is he?" Sasuke was becoming concerned.
"Try below!" Kakashi shouted from the ground and grabbed Sasuke's legs and pulled him shoulder deep into the ground
"Maybe it isn't always great being different." Kakashi said.
"Sakura we need to work together to get a bell." Naruto said quietly to Sakura they were spying on Sasuke and Kakashi.
"But what about Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
"He'll be fine, just follow my lead just throw a kunai and I'll do the rest." Naruto told her and she nodded signaling that she understood.
"Ready, GO!" Naruto jumped out of the tree and Sakura threw her kunai.
"Their working together, that's good." Kakashi thought. And he was ready to grab the kunai, but something happened he didn't expect, there was a puff of smoke and Naruto appeared, "What the!" Kakashi was shocked, he grabbed Naruto's leg and tossed him away.
Naruto kicked Kakashi in the back and Kakashi flew a couple of feet but he flipped and landed on his feet. He saw Sakura help Sasuke out of the ground, "Their teamwork isn't half bad."
Far off in the distance Kakashi heard a bell ring, "Well you guys had good teamwork but you didn't get a bell" He went to grab them, but they weren't there, "What?"
He heard a jingle and looked at Naruto and Sakura, each of them were holding a bell, "You were saying Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked, "W-when did you…" Kakashi was baffled, "When I kicked you I grabbed the bells first, it was all part of my plan I would distract you by transforming Sakura's kunai into myself."
"That was a good plan, team seven, you pass!" Kakashi said happily and gave them a thumbs up, "We will begin our first mission tomorrow."
