AN: To all my fanfic readers I have forgot to mention that the Kyubi attack took place 5 years to that prior to that of in Manga. And this is my story so pardon my mistakes.

Chapter 2
6 years after Kyubi attack.
A six year old blonde boy with shoulder length hair wearing a black ANBU pants, a black meshed shirt and a pair of shinobi shoes could be seen standing in front of the forest on the Hokage Mountains. He raised his hand and made a vertical slash with his hand.
The result was that a large blade of wind appeared and rushed towards the forest. The first tree it hit was sliced in two and the next one received a large slash mark.
'Not enough power. I have to saturate the air with more chakra. I have to saturate the air with more of my chakra.' thought Naruto.
Again he made slash and this time the blade of wind tore through a few trees.
"Excellent Naruto. Now lets go. You don't want to be late for your first day at academy." said the Sandaime appearing behind him. Naruto gave a nod and started to walk away.
Same time near a Konoha lake,
A raven haired boy of the same age of Naruto could be seen doing hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. A stream of fire erupted from the boy's mouth and transformed into a large orb of fire which sailed past the lake evaporating much of its water.
"Well done Itachi. You have done it in your first try." said Fugaku Uchiha. Itachi looked towards his father but said nothing.
"Now lets go or you shall be late." Said Fugaku and headed towards the Ninja Academy with Itachi following behind.
Few minutes later, Ninja Academy.
"Do well Itachi. Remember you are the heir of Uchiha Clan. As such you should always remain on top." said Fugaku.
"Of Course Father."
Itachi bowed and entered the academy building.
Meanwhile, Naruto was already in the academy and was observing his soon to be classmate without letting them notice him.
"They are not worthy to become true shinobis." said Itachi from behind Naruto.
"You are strong to be able to come so close before I detected you." said Naruto after some time.
"Itachi Uchiha." said Itachi.
"Naruto Namikaze."
They stared at each other gauging their strength. Itachi broke the silence and said, "We should inform the teacher about our presence."
Naruto nodded and walked to the centre of the class with Itachi following behind. Both Naruto and Itachi took seat in the last row corner from where they could observe the whole class. All the while the girls were looking at the duo with lovestruck eyes. 'Fangirls.' thought Naruto and Itachi at the same time.
Timeskip: 1 Year later,
Itachi could be seen dodging some mud wolves while Naruto was concentrating in controlling changed his course and rushed towards Naruto with the wolves following behind. He made the necessary hand seals and exhaled a large ball of fire towards Naruto. A earth wall appeared in front of Naruto and blocked the fire. But the fire was only a distraction as Itachi disappeared with a great burst of speed and the wolves collided with the wall and disintegrated. Itachi appeared behind Naruto and delivered a hard punch. Naruto fell on the ground and turned into earth.
'Earth Clone.' thought Itachi but he had to dodge a blade of wind which just nicked his cheek. Naruto appeared from behind a tree with a slightly bruised cheek.
"I see you substituted with a earth clone as soon as you got hit." said Itachi.
"Yes. Now lets head for the academy" said Naruto and started walking towards the exit.
Itachi and Naruto had met on their first day in the academy. They had acknowledged their talent and became sparring partner. As such they had improved in leaps and the Hokage allowed them to give the graduation exam this year.
Ninja Academy, Graduating Class.
Kurenai Yuuhi was very frustrated. None of her classmates were good at being ninja. The girls were attentive in their look than in ninja skills and the boys were all worthless perverts. And she knew she was going to be teamed with any two of these morons. So yes she was very much frustrated.
"Did you hear?" asked one boy."
"What?"
"Two brats from junior class are going to give the graduation exam with us." said the first boy.
"What? Are you serious? There is no way two kids can compete with us."
"They are no ordinary kids. Rumour is both of them are prodigies borned once in a decade.' said a third boy.
"Who are they?"
Kurenai had heard the conversation and she was more interested than anybody else.
"Itachi Uchiha the Uchiha clan heir and Naruto Namikaze...the one who has the Kyubi." said the third boy.
'Hmm...if this is true i hope I get one of them as my teammate.' thought kurenai.
...
"What do you think?" asked Naruto.
Both Naruto and Itachi were already in the room undetected by everyone.
"Pathetic."
"Except that girl. She is perceptive." said Itachi looking towards Kurenai.
Naruto nodded and both of them became silent. Soon the teacher came an strated explaining the rules of graduation exam. They had to perform the three academy jutsus. "Naruto Namikaze." called the teacher.
Naruto stood up and the whole class turned back to look at him.
"Wow...I didn't even sense them coming.' thought Kurenai looking at Naruto and Itachi.
2 hours later,
Both of them had passed as expected and now the teacher was lecturing about being a true shinobi of Konoha.
"Tomorrow all of you would be assigned with two of your classmates under a Jounin sensei as a genin team. Class dismissed." Said the teacher.
Konoha Streets,
"So do you think we would assigned to a same team? asked Itachi
"Probably not." replied Naruto.
Itachi nodded and said, "Lets continue our spar from the morning."
"Hmm." said Naruto and both of them shunshined to a training ground.
Hokage Tower,
"This is an overkill." said a Jounin looking at the team chart.
"Maybe but its final." Said the Hokage
"What a drag." said the Jounin.
"Don't worry Shikaku...your team won't be that troublesome." Said a smirking Hokage.
