-1I don't own Naruto
After getting up and showered, Naruto realized he had a problem. Orange. That was all that was in his closet. It turned out that while Naruto liked orange, Inner-Naruto hated the color with a passion. However, that was all he had to wear, so he reluctantly pulled his trademark jumpsuit and headed out the door. As he was about halfway to the clothing store something occurred to him. Most stores refused him service, and the ones that did not, horribly overcharged him. He didn't like doing this but there wasn't really any other choice so he transformed into a boy of around sixteen with brown hair and green eyes. He walked into a clothing store and asked the clerk for some help. He told the clerk he needed some clothes for his younger brother who was in the ninja academy. He went back and picked out four pairs of an outfit with black pants, a blue muscle shirt, and a slate gray vest. After paying for them he headed home to change. He decided to go to the old man Hokage to see if he could find him a sensei. Naruto burst into the Hokage's office and planted himself in front of his desk. "Yes Naruto, can I help you?" the Hokage inquired. "Kakashi refused to train me, I was hoping maybe you could find someone to teach me. If you can, I'll teach you my own jutsu. Sarutobi laughed and said "All right Naruto, I'll train you for the upcoming exam if you help me out with the paperwork, deal." "Of course, old man. When can you train me?" "We can start tomorrow, but how about teaching me 'your own personal jutsus" Sandaime said with a teasing smile. "Alright old man, out at training field 55 in one hour" "I'll be there."
One hour later Naruto was standing in the field with the Hokage and was starting his jutsu. Sarutobi was expecting something like the Sexy no Jutsu, but when Naruto performed the needed hand seals and called out "Nibataikuihou: Kazangan Taiga no Jutsu" and a river of lava twenty feet wide and three feet deep flowed from Naruto's mouth, the Hokage stared at Naruto in shock. Naruto took no notice of him and immediately started performing the second set of seals. "Sanbataikuihou: Nenshou Tsuchi Dama no Jutsu." Sandaime's jaw was now on the ground as twelve flaming bullets came out of Naruto's mouth and destroyed a good section of the forest. "W-where d-did y-you l-learn t-those t-techniques, N-Naruto?" Sandaime managed to sputter out." Naruto told the Hokage about everything and at the end Sarutobi was nodding thoughtfully, multiple personality disorder was a very common problem among ninja but he had never seen anything like this before. Naruto showed him the seals and set the Hokage to practicing. His pride swelled that he was teaching the Hokage something. At the end of the day Sarutobi could perform both Jutsu very well and Naruto was out of stuff to teach the Hokage. Tomorrow they would start training. When Naruto got there the next morning, the Hokage was already waiting for him. Sandaime held out a set of weights and a pair of black gloves with one-inch spikes set in the knuckles. After putting on the weights, Naruto could hardly move. Sandaime ordered him to run ten laps around Konoha. When Naruto back panting, he was forced to do five hundred sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups. After that they started working on his tai-jutsu stances and Naruto was surprised by all of the little things he was doing wrong and how different it felt to do them this way.
After two weeks of this Sandaime said Naruto was ready to learn his first jutsu. The jutsu was called 'Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu'. Seeing as it was so similar to the regular Kage Bunshin, Naruto got it fairly quickly. The second jutsu the Hokage taught Naruto was an advanced use of the shadow clone called 'Bunshin bakuha'. Afterwards, the Hokage asked Naruto if he knew anything about Summoning. When Naruto shook his head, Sarutobi explained that summoning was a technique that, after you signed a contract in blood, enabled you to call a creature to fight for you. Naruto was very excited and asked if he could learn how to do it. "Well Naruto, first you have to decide what animal you want to summon. I summon apes, but I can make a summoning contract for just about any animal." Naruto thought about it for a while and eventually decided on wolves. Sandaime made not one, but two summoning contracts. One was to summon enormous wolves, while the other one was to summon smaller wolves for the Kuchiyose: Doton: Tsuiga no Jutsu'. Naruto got the hang of that technique pretty quickly, and moved on to the larger summoning.
As the Hokage stood back, Naruto poured all of the chakra he could into the technique and slammed his hand into the ground. One of the advantages to having his mind whole was that he could concentrate better and utilize his chakra more effectively than he could before. He could also draw on Kyuubi's chakra without going crazy. Out of a cloud of smoke a wolf larger then Kyuubi appeared. It was pitch black with sliver and a rift of red fur down the center. He looked up at Naruto and said, "Are you the one who summoned me?" When Naruto replied yes, the wolf continued speaking "My name is Gridus and if you want my help in battle you need to pass my test. You must stay on me the entire night." Without even waiting for a reply Gridus took off ordering Naruto to do some techniques if he wanted to pass." All night Gridus pulled every trick he could think of to get Naruto to fall off but Naruto held on stubbornly and when the morning light crept over the horizon Naruto lapsed into unconsciousness. Gridus placed him on the ground and looked at him carefully. "The sun has not risen yet, so I should fail him, but I like the kid." He turned to the Hokage and said, "When he wakes up tell him he passed." Then he disappeared. Sarutobi took Naruto back to the Hokage tower and placed him on the couch. It was only two days until the finals so he decided to let Naruto have the next day off. The day of the finals came and Naruto was standing in the field with the other contestants. He glared over at Neji. That bastard was going down. He was going to pay.
