Solace Of The Leaves

by Majestic Tiger

Naruto is alone. Aside from Old Man Hokage, Iruka, and the ANBU called Inu, the jinchuriki is hated by all. A person forgotten by all that they knew has awoken. With the malevolent eyes of the Akatsuki turned upon the jinchuriki, and a rogue Sannin out for revenge, will Konohagakure no Sato survive? Fem!Naru with a twist.

15. Chapter 14

Four years later

The children had just graduated from the Academy, all except for Naruto.

She sat on a swing, watching all of the other children. Cinaed and Kakashi came up to her.

Both wore a frown. "Is it n-not a l-little unfair e-everyone else g-graduated?" said the child.

Naruto shrugged. "I guess being able to Kawarimi with air was just not impressive enough to make up for my inability to make Bunshin.

Sighing, she stood up, walking back with the Hatake family to the Hokage Tower.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

It was evening in Konoha.

The Kyuubi jinchuriki sat on the roof of the Academy.

A silver haired man landed on the roof next to her.

"Mizuki-sensei...What are you doing here?"

He smiled. "I think you could have passed. It just was bad luck you were not able to. However, there is a special alternate test."

Naruto brightened immediately. "Really? How do I do it?"

The instructor grinned. "Just take the Forbidden Scroll from the tower and learn a technique from it!"

Naruto beamed. "Hai, sensei!"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Sneaking into the Hokage Tower was easier than she had thought.

The scroll room was unprotected. She was about to get away with the Scroll when someone interrupted her.

"Naruto? What are you doing?" the Hokage asked.

"Sorry Jiji!"

With a smoke bomb, she Kawarimi'd with the air in front of Hiruzen and knocked him out.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Arriving at the clearing she was supposed to meet Mizuki in, she opened the scroll.

"Hmm... Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, the Nidaime's secret to drawing water from the air, a scroll with SEALING, and a blood-locked storage seal labeled "Amenonuhoko" on the unlocked segment of the Forbidden Scroll."

Several hours later

Iruka landed in the clearing to find a beat up Naruto with a big scroll and a small scroll in a silver case.

"Why did you steal the scroll, Naruto? All available shinobi are searching for you!"

She looked confused. "Mizuki-sensei said if I learned a jutsu from this, I would become a genin!"

At that moment, the traitor arrived.

Readers, the fight was exactly like canon.

And so, after Naruto had clobbered Mizuki with copious abuse of Kage Bunshin, she finally became a genin of Konohagakure.
