DISCLAIMER: if you actually think i own a manga series, then you are some sort of stupid

sorry about the three year hiatis (is that even how you spell it?), but a lot of things have happened to change my life, several relationship mishaps, i lost college and a job, and my stepfather kicked me out of the house.
But it's all starting to look better now, I have a wonderful man by my side, a roof over my head, and brand new inspiration. i can be better and i will try my hardest to give the best fanfiction i can to those of you that want it. I will also try to flesh out my work more as it seems that everything i wrote before is a bit lacking.

Several years have passed since the fateful day that brought the inevitable death of Konoha. Many events have happened and we find our anti-hero jumping through Konoha, taking the roofs because he was pressed for time. Today was the day that he had to take the graduation test to become an "official" ninja for the leaf. What made everything worse was the fact that he woke up late, his milk had went bad so he skipped breakfast, and he had to put his kill-me-orange jumpsuit on one more time. He cursed as he remembered the reason why he had to take the test in the first place. If the damned old man could be any more of a nuisance, he didn't want to find out.

***flashback***

It was the morning after the Uchiha massacre, the Hokage called Naruto and Itachi up to the Hokage tower for a debriefing. Naruto just showed up as Itachi was finishing his half of the story. "Naruto-kun, running a little late I see. I hope this doesn't become a habit. I don't need two of my high ranking ANBU to be constantly late."

"Sorry Jiji, I didn't take the roofs immediately and some villigers wanted to 'play.' After they decided that it would be better to live me be, not by choice might I add, I started for the roofs before a couple of ninja decided to join me. They won't be missed." A brief sadistic smile graced Naruto's lips as he thought of how messy he had made the chunin that had tried to assault him that morning before he did his 'clean up' routine. He'd have to make a note to ask the fox where exactly those people went. The trick only worked on people or animals but when he tried it on his room it didn't pick up the broken pieces of his furniture from the last break he had. He jumped down off the large windowsill and stood next to Itachi. His orange jumpsuit flickered for a second as he let his genjutsu fall revealing his ANBU clothes underneath. He took his fox mask off his belt and placed it on the side of his head since there was no need to wear it properly in front of the Hokage. The Hokage himself started to finish up filling in Itachi's portion for a second before returning his gaze to Naruto.

"Alright Naruto, can you tell me what happened at the compound? I already have Itachi's portion, but I'm going to need both portions for the council meeting I already know will be being organized later." The Hokage rubbed his temples then started searching for his pipe and his tin of 'not-tobacco.' This day was going to need a little more umph than he was going to get from his regular supply.

"Hai Hokage-sama." Naruto put on his best 'loyal' Konoha ninja face before starting his report. Just because he wanted to torture every last villager here, save for the old man sitting in front of him and the workers of a certain ramen shop, didn't mean he could start just yet. First he had to give them hope by showing he was the best. "It started out as simply an investigation mission. The last three weeks went by without a hitch. There were a couple of clan meetings done with the utmost secrecy, but the ones I weren't able to eavesdrop on, Itachi was always able to attend. That is, until two days ago." Naruto stopped to make sure the Hokage was still listening. He cleared his throat and continued. "Around that time one Shisui Uchiha let slip about a coup to happen the following day. Itachi was with him at the time and he spotted me, ending up in Itachi killing him. Through that act, he unlocked some sort of new sharingan that is not catalogued in the Konoha database. The other Uchiha witnesssed this and detained Itachi and myself. We were incarcerated for a full day before my little extra friend and I were able to break out. The rest of the time was spent stopping the coup, whom all of the Uchiha were now battle ready for. Itachi dealt with most of the big components while I dealt with those remaining and any evidence for the coup including weapons, maps, and mission details. After that we both headed to my apartment so that the other ANBU wouldn't catch either of the two of us inside the mass of bodies. Then we make our way here this morning, Itachi made his way up earlier than I did and now we're here." He waited while the Hokage took a couple of hits off of his pipe before replying.

"This is a pretty grave situation. We might have to go to pretty far extremes to solve it. The council will want blood for the destruction of the Uchiha clan, and losing a very powerful dojutsu." He blew the smoke out and the stench filled the air. "Itachi, I may have to make you a spy within the ranks of the missing nin of all the villages." Itachi took a deep breath before nodding. "Since this was to be the outcome if a coup had happened, I already have everything set. Head out as soon as possible before anyone can find you. Good luck."

"I just have one request Hokage-sama." The old man raised an eyebrow as Itachi took off his mask and slashed his hitai-ate. "I don't want my brother to be harmed. I left him alive thinking it was I alone that killed our clansmen. He is just a child and had no part in any of this." With a nod from the Hokage, Itachi leapt out of the window and across the roofs of Konoha.

"Naruto-kun, I'll need to hold onto that mask for a while." The Hokage had to take a moment to stop the outburts from the blond. When he was sure that the boy was going to stay quiet, he continued. "Only for now Naruto-kun. The only people that know that you are a full fledged ninja are the two of us. With Itachi gone, I can't send you on any missions, with or without your stealth technique. It would just be too risky. I'll need you to continue to go to the academy until you graduate from there. The council would have a fit if I let you become a ninja before then. We both know how much of a hassle that would be for the both of us." The old man shuddered briefly before repacking his pipe. He looked worried but prepared for the inevitable annoyance of the council.

Naruto, on the other hand, was fuming on the inside. He blamed every single Uchiha he killed the night before for this mess, especially the only living descendant. He started to despise the old man in front of him, kindness be damned. He was the Kyuubi no Yoko for Kami's sake, he didn't have time for all of this nonsense. The blond settled on enduring the slow progression of the world for now, and took a few calming breaths before speaking with a fauxsmile. "Alright Jiji, but I can't say I'm going to like it. And I won't garuntee either that I'm going to make it easy for the teachers either." He smiled mischievisly before jumping out the window towards the academy, letting his orange genjutsu return. 'You'll see you old coot, I will get what I want.'

***flashback end***

Over the years, Naruto was able to drop his guise as the paraih of the village and instead became a nightmare to those that crossed his path. He was able to... "acquire" new clothing from the stores that always refused him with his stealth technique alone. Slowly changing from different orange sets of clothing to his now red and black ensemble. He wore a tight dark red shirt with a sinster looking black fox logo that only bore one tail, as to not alert his fellow classmates to what he was/what he was SUPPOSED to be hold, but it also adorned a set of angelic wings. A kind of innocence to confuse the masses. Over that he wore a sleevless coat that had a good bit of pockets, inside and out. The coat itself was black, sporting the infamous spiral that most ninja gear had, though it was as dark of a red color as his shirt. Underneath the coat, and hidden to the untrained eye was a ninjato and his weapons pouch. His shorts were as deep black as his coat and sported almost as man pockets. As well, he had some black ninja sandals on that hid another two knives. He had two small wrist wraps that had two seals on both for easier access to projectile weapons. He let his blond locks darken to its now-natural red, and his whisker marks were much thicker than they were before. His teeth were as pointed as an Inuzuka's but his eyes retained there deep cyrulean.

With the acquisition of his new powers, he started to get better grades at anything they offered to teach at the academy. From taijustu to ninjutsu to genjutsu, he was the best. He threw a few fights so that he wouldn't outshine a few of his... choice classmates, but never skipped a chance to put them in their place outside of class. He finally got to the academy, running a little late, so he decided to make a grand entrance through the side window of the classroom. He curled into a ball and smashed through, landing on Iruka's desk in a crouch as glass rained down on his fellow classmates, nothing too threatening to the upcoming genin, but it left a few nasty cuts on some of their arms. "Hey Iruka-sensei, sorry I'm late. I ran into a fox and chased it out of the village." He gave the scarred man a knowing wink before sitting down while said chunin blinked in surprise of the comment. Had he known of the events that had transpired through the years, he wouldn't have been caught off gaurd, but as it was, he couldn't say too much of anything and it was Mizuki that finally broke the silence.

"Naruto if you try something like that again, I'll fail you and you'll have to try again next year." The blonde gave a fake worried look until the silver haired chunin turned and he smirked darkly. He let his shadow leave his body, and it weaved it's way out of the window, heading towards Mizuki's house to leave a little present for him. 'I'll like to see your face when you find the blood, I think it would be hilarious.' Unknown that his last threat to the exblond would start a round of punishments he didn't even know would be coming, Mizuki grabbed his papers and turned to Iruka, snapping him out of his daze. "Who do you want to test first Iruka, I'm leaning more towards the Uchiha." Iruka just nodded beforing heading to the test room with Mizuki and Sasuke. After a while, Sasuke was let out and he smirked as he tightened his new headband. Slowly all of the class went in and out of the room to be tested until only one was left.

Naruto entered the test room and instantly knew something was off. He felt a tug at his chakra, something that was trying to unbalance him. He looked over at Mizuki and caught a glimpse of him making a half ram seal underneath the table pointing towards Naruto. With a smirk and the smallest of spikes of chakra, our antihero sent a small wave of chakra directly at the man's face, undectable to everyone else in the room, breaking the silver haired ninja's nose in an instant. When Mizuki screamed, and while everyone else in the room had their attention on the man, Naruto made a clone and shunshinned from the room. 'I'm not going to stay there with idiots like him there.' He sped along the roofs towards the Hokage momument. As he passed a nearby dango shop, he heard laughter as a particular purple haired kunoichi tossed around a couple of terrified looking ninja.

Intrigued, Naruto dropped from the rooftops just as the last ran away with his tail behind his legs. "And don't come back unless you want to be neutered and hung from a tree by your empty ballsack!" Anko huffed as she turned back to the dango shop. She picked up a dirty dango stick off the ground and made a small pout as she had to throw it away. "Damn stupid ignorant men and their damn stupid ignorant grudges, it's not my fault the bastard took their siblings." She made to walk back into the dango shop before she was stopped by a tug on her sleeve. When she turned to punch whoever it was, her fist stopped inches before it knocked the candy out of the boys hand.

"Geeze, if you don't want it, I'll eat it." Naruto was about to eat the first ball before it was swiped out of his hand. He chuckled as he watched the kunoichi inhale everything but the stick before tossing that part into the garbage. "I figured you'd want another one since those jerks decided to dirty yours." Anko gave the boy a once over before smiling sadisticly.

"You seem to be a little Prince Charming, you liking what you see gaki?" She held her coat open just slightly to show her assets and expected to get a perverted reaction. Naruto seemed to not care and turned to start walking away. "Hey boy, am I not good enough for you or something?!" Naruto continued to walk away. "Some little saviour you are!" Anko was dissapointed that the redhead wouldn't stay and 'play.' She ran up to him and was about to turn around but he dissapeared before she could touch him.

She looked around for a second before she heard his voice in her ear. "You intrigue me Matarshi-chan. There's something wonderfully... sadistic about you. Maybe we can meet up sometime and compare a few lovely little bloody stories." Anko turned around swiftly but just like before he wasn't there. She found a box on the ground tho and when she opened she gave out the girliest squeal that has ever graced her lips. She closed the box quickly and ran home to enjoy the sweet candy and beautiful new toys inside. As she ran, Naruto just chuckled darkly before heading to his apartment.

Once he got there, he only stopped briefly to retrieve a key from a hidden inside the frame of the door. Not even bothering to walk into apartment, or even open the door. He jumped away again and made for his true destination. As he neared the Hokage monument, he jumped and seemed to bounce off the air as he made his way up to the fourth Hokage's right eye, and dissapeared inside the pupil.

He came to a locked door and inserted the blood red key before pouring some chakra into it. After he heard the dull click of the door, he stepped through to a brightly lit room. Or what you can call a room as it was uneven and held no proper walls, instead seemed to have been gouged straight out the rock and wired to the electrical taps running through the mountain to the buildings on top. Inside the cave, there were several soft chairs, a bed, a desk, a cage, and two worktables. The cage looked used and abused, and a couple of skeletons littered the area. Naruto laughed a little as he knocked the bars on the way to the desk before sitting down and clearing a small area to work on. He had many schematics of Konoha littering the top with more plans for another village ready and waiting for him to start building. He brought out some clay from the upper left hand drawer of the desk as he started to mold a shape out of it.

After a few minutes, a small fox seemed to emerge from the clay as he worked, complete with everything but whiskers. He pumped some chakra into it before it stretched and jumped off the table and sniffed a couple of bones before turning to the redhead, "You could have at least cleaned up a little after your last meal Naruto." The small fox jumped away from the book thrown in its direction before laughing. "Now now Naruto-kun, you should work more on your aim." To emphasize his point, he dodged again as Naruto threw a sendon at the fox.

"Can it fox, I'm not in the mood. That damned Mizuki-teme tried to mess with my chakra again. I don't know what he's planning but I don't like it." He propped his feet onto the bed across from the desk and started to pick his teeth with another senbon he unsealed. "Today was the day of the tests, I'll finally be able to leave this damned village on missions. Since revoking my mask the old man has kept a pretty close watch on me so I haven't been able to inact any of my plans. Though they are all ready to start as soon as I'm outside these walls." He grabbed a small binder and started to root through the stacks laying behind and on side of him putting papers in order and into place inside. "Besides, I'm tired of being so nice to all these no good villagers and I want to start as soon as possible. Especially the clan heads and their heirs. I can't kill Sasuke yet, that would cause too much trouble until I can leave the village. I'm not strong enough yet, your chakra hasn't filtered fully into my system even after all these years." He closed the binder and placed it on the bed before turning to face the fox. He sweat-dropped as he saw the figurine laying on its back playing with a small piece of flesh it ripped off one of the bones. Not having a proper stomach, he couldn't eat it. "If you could pay attention, we were planning the destruction of this village and the surrounding area?" He tossed the nearly forgotten senbon, skewing the piece of meat against the wall.

The fox rolled over, disgrutled at the fact that it had lost it's toy. "No need to be so testy Naruto. What would you expect? The Hokage finding out that you have some sort of strange power and just giving you a spot as a ninja. That was probably only because you were under Itachi. He already knew from the text books that the sharingan could hold my power at bay." The small animal gave an indignant sniff remembering the eyes of one Uchiha leader that had lead him into battle against the hated Mokuton user. "But as soon as all the Sharingans in the entire village were gone, he had nowhere he could safely put you. He might have thought that the last little Uchiha brat would have activated it by now. Either way, I don't think that you will have a problem with that, having more than just bijuu chakra flowing through you." As if to accent this, Naruto let equal parts blue and red chakra flow around him for a moment. "As well, your heritage will help with any other restraints I would have had to deal with. Besides, you can't complete all your goals just yet. Don't think I didn't miss that little stunt you pulled with the snake mistress. Though I do have to see say that your taste is quite great" Kurama had to do a little more menuvering as a small hail of senbom and shuriken rained down on his direction. One bounced off of his tail, cracking it a bit and making the tip fall off. Disgruntled, he picked the piece up and placed it back on the end before glaring at the source of his problem.

After the exKyuubi's last insult, Naruto decided to start to head for the door. "Maybe you should watch who you are talking to fox. You may be part of me, to an extant, but I won't hesitate to make that cage a living nightmare far worse than you can imagine." He was about four feet from the door before stopping for a second as his Demon Bunshin dispersed, leaking its memories to him. He let loose a wicked laugh before kicking the door open and slamming it shut behind him. The fox sweatdropped before crumbling into dust, not being close enough to Naruto to sustain the clay figurine's shape.

Back with the Naruto-clone, he had succeeded in all of the tests so far. Though he was only half way done. Even with the bloody nose, Mizuki still tried and failed to disrupt the clone's chakra and seemed to be getting more and more agitated at each failed attempt. Luckily for him, none of the tests so far required much chakra, but it did distract the clone enough to get half score on the taijutsu part of the test.

"Alright Naruto, the last parts of this test are going to require some ninjutsu. It will test your chakra control as well as seal speed and your chakra stores. First, I'm going to need a small fire jutsu, any will do as long as you don't burn down this room. Then, a water and wind style jutsu. The three types are not just so that we can see if you can pass, but also so that we can relay to your jonin instructor which type you seem to be best suited for, if one seems to outshine the others. After those, a bunshin to test your control again. Finally, we'll move onto the genjutsu portion." At a wave of his hand, Naruto started to do handseals for the first of the jutsu.

"Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!" Naruto let loose a small fireball jutsu, but his chakra flared briefly thanks to the meddling chunin. The fireball that was supposed to be only about two feet in diameter ended up becoming a rather large almost threatening ball of heat. Our friend looked over at the other teachers and didn't get a good feeling from the scorched eyebrows almost all of them sported.

"Come on Iruka, how could he possibly become a ninja when he can't even control the most basic of jutsu." When Naruto glared at the man only to get a sneer in return.

"Now, Mizuki. Everyone has their mishaps. I'm sure this would pass with some training. Though lets just move on to the bunshin portion and leave your sensei to decide which element suits you to avoid any more damage." He wrote something in his notebook before facing the boy again and waving him to continue.

After doing the hand signs and molding his chakra, he felt the all too familiar pull from Mizuki's messing before making the clone. What came out was a poor excuse of clone even though he was going for three copies. He glared at Mizuki before waiting for his verdict. "Look Iruka, he can't even do a proper bunshin. And that fireball was way too dangerous, if he can't even control himself how is he going to protect a whole other team?" Mizuki sneered at Naruto before turning to his other teachers. "We are going to have to fail him to protect the other students who might be on his team."

Iruka looked crestfallen but had to agree with his fellow student. "I'm sorry Naruto, but he's right. Try again next year." He looked away from his favorite student before having to shoo him away.

Naruto's clone sat on the swing outside of the academy. He had a bad feeling about why Mizuki was messing with his test, and he was rewarded when said teacher came up to him while the parents of all the other students congradulated their children on becoming official ninja. "Hey Naruto, too bad about the test." Mizuki put his hand on the boy as he said this. Naruto shrugged it off and got up before starting to walk away. "Come on Naruto, I have a secondary graduation if you feel like it." The boy stopped and turned and gave the teacher a suspicious stare. "You just need to do a few things first." Naruto smiled sadisticly, making the chunin feel like the boy was falling for it. On the inside however, Naruto had a whole different agenda in mind.

After being given the instruction, Naruto jumped away to "complete" his task before finding a spot to dispel near a sewer drain. He put his hands into a ram seal before melting away in a bloody pool.
