sh8ad8ow: Yes it was mostly arrogance on Sarutobi's part that made him reveal his plans to Eva as he expected the woman to just roll over and obey him since he's the leader of the village and she's trapped there. Plus unless the current Hokage, in this case Sarutobi, gives out a command phrase she's restricted to only half her power. Now that half is still higher than the rest of the village obviously, but in his arrogance he forgot that. And good reasoning for him not liking the rookies.

chaos: You're correct in that while he can't actually use magic he can replicate the effects with his Rinnegan and fuinjutsu training. It won't happen until far later but that will eventually happen. As for getting the immortality Eva has or something similar, I can't answer that as I'm still debating that right now.

GrievousHollow: He won't be learning Naruto's getting training from Danzo until it's too late. If in canon the man could still run Root without Sarutobi finding out anything more than rumors and ideas of its existence then it's obvious Danzo can hide himself and others extremely well. Naruto doesn't want to be Hokage anymore after finding out about Sarutobi's betrayal. He's still in something of shock so he won't have anything in mind for Konoha meaning he won't react much to Danzo's vision for the village. But Evangeline is partially against a fully militaristic Konoha herself. While she'll help Danzo, as revealed in this chapter she's trying to advocate a sort of mix between the two ideals. Also, yes Danzo wants the boy as a weapon, however with Eva overseeing all his training and the full abilities of the Rinnegan being unknown to he man, would he even be able to make Naruto his servant? As I stated in my response to sh8ad8ow last chapter, I HATE fillar girls. Movies are just glorified fillar in my mind so they won't be used either. And Anko or Mabui? Sorry but neither were the one possible I was thinking of.

~Chapter 02 = First Impressions~

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

(3 Year Later)

"Hey whiskers, wake up!" Chachazero yelled before swinging down with a knife at the sleeping blonds' arm. The boy's eyes opened instantly as he pulled out the kunai under his pillow and deflected the attack into the bed. The doll whined at how there was no blood as the boy sighed.

"Zero-chan, can you please stop that? That's the third time this week!" Naruto shouted as he got off the bed and went to his bathroom to shower and freshen up for the day while the green haired doll pulled her knife out of the bed and put it away.

"Master wants you ready for training in half an hour!" The doll chirped before vanishing out of the room. Naruto sighed in the shower as he scrubbed his hair. It wasn't that he didn't love the doll like a sister but her trying to stab him in the mornings occasionally was annoying. It didn't help that Eva made him repair the sheets and blankets himself, forcing him to learn how to sew. The blond stayed under the water as he let the liquid run down his back in a soothing manner. After a moment he shut it off and got out of the shower and started drying off with a nearby towel. Once that was done the blond wiped the steam off his mirror and gazed at his reflection, seeing the changes three years had brought.

His face was a little leaner but still had some baby fat as he was only eight years old. His hair had also grown a bit and he had taken to allowing a couple bangs to frame his face in the same style as his father while pulling any extra into a small ponytail behind his head like his godfather, only nowhere near as long as he hadn't been growing his hair out for years like Jiraiya had. The only other change was his eyes. They were no longer the bright blue he was born with but had changed to a grayish purple with ripple patterns extending from his pupils.

The Rinnegan, dojutsu of the legendary Rikudou Sennin, the man that gave the world ninjutsu.

Naruto began to brush his teeth as he thought back to just when and how he had awakened his special eyes. It had been simple evasive training with Evangeline in her resort a little over a year ago. Of course simple for Evangeline was extreme and cruel to anyone else.

~1 Year and 2 Months Ago~

"Keep moving Naruto!" Eva shouted as she hurled another ice spear at him. The blond screamed as the weapon flew past his head and he ran. He stopped and jumped to the side when another frozen spear stabbed into the ground next to him. The boy was panting heavily as he fearfully looked back to see Evangeline creating a chunk of ice five times his size. "Don't you dare slow down Naruto!" She warned as the vampire tossed the ice at him. The blond ran to the edge of the platform they were on and jumped down to the beach area as the ice crashed behind him. He stumbled as he landed and clutched his ankle for a second before running again as Eva flew out above him and began raining ice needles down at him. "Nice try but you're still not fast enough boy!"

"Aah! I'm gonna die!" Naruto screamed as the needles stopped and spikes started up.

"Damn right you will! I will not train someone so weak and I will not have Kushina's and Minato's names be tainted by it either!" Eva taunted as she created another chunk of ice. She simultaneously froze the ground the boy was running on making him slip and slide across the ice until he crashed into a large boulder. Eva then hurled the ice at the young boy as he screamed in fright. Just when Eva was going to stop the ice from actually killing the boy and end the training for the day she felt something.

Resistance.

Something was pushing her ice back.

Frowning the girl flew down to see Naruto fearfully holding his hands out with his eyes closed as the ice floated an inch away from him. The girl snapped her fingers as the ice shattered to pieces and melted away as Naruto dropped his arms and started clutching his chest as he drew in deep breaths. "How did you do that?" Eva asked and Naruto kept panting. "How did you push the ice back?"

"What're you talking about master? Didn't you stop it?" Naruto asked as he opened his eyes and Evangeline gasped. They were not the blue she had known since meeting the boy. They were a grayish purple with a ripple effect.

"What the hell happened to your eyes?!" She shouted as Naruto blinked in confusion and tilted his head to the side.

"Huh?"

Eva had instantly contacted Danzo and had him come to see and to say he was shocked was an understatement. The old man nearly had a heart attack, as much as he would deny it. He told them the eyes were the legendary Rinnegan of the creator of the Shinobi world, the Rikudou Sennin himself. The myths around the eyes were as multiple as they were unbelievable. Danzo admitted he had encountered a single man with those eyes and he had decimated multiple trained agents of both him and a potential ally he had been aiding. He didn't know anything else though so they had contacted Jiraiya for further info.

The Toad Sage had been just as shocked as Danzo had been but conversely he was far more helpful. He had actually trained a Rinnegan user before (not knowing it was the same man Danzo had referred to) so he had some idea of what the eyes could do. For starters the user was granted an elemental affinity to all five of the basic elements. Secondly was that Naruto would have access to a few extra abilities such as gravity manipulation, which is what Naruto had apparently subconsciously used to repel the ice. Jiraiya said there was probably more that he didn't know about as he had left that student to return to Konoha after finishing his training and said teen had always been surprising him with a new trick every couple months.

Naruto drew himself out of his thoughts as he finished getting ready and dressed himself in a sleeveless black shirt and black pants with an orange sash around his waist. He had wanted an entire outfit of the bright color but Eva, Danzo and Jiraiya had all shot him down claiming a Shinobi needed to blend and bright orange was attention grabbing. Naruto had tried to point out Jiraiya's outfit didn't look stealthy so to prove the man could blend in just fine the boy had spent a day in the resort trying and failing to find him. Afterwards he obeyed and stopped trying to get an entire outfit of the color. His godparents however were at least kind enough to let him have a small bit of his favorite color though so he had chosen a sash to be worn around his waist.

Naruto came downstairs to find Eva eating her breakfast as another plate was already waiting for him. The blond quickly sat down and started eating before he began to ask questions. "So what're we doing today master?"

Naruto had started his training under Evangeline a month after the events that brought them together. Sarutobi had stopped trying to send in Anbu after two weeks of frozen corpses being delivered back to him and instead had started planning something else that they didn't know about. After waiting a week to see if anything else was coming their way the elder blond had begun to train the younger, starting with physical drills to increase his base abilities of speed, strength, and flexibility. He had also been told that until she deemed that he had completed his training he was to call her master, something that took a couple weeks of painful reinforcement for him to remember.

The meeting with Danzo had also yielded results as the man would occasionally stop by himself or send an agent in his place to teach Naruto the subtleties of chakra and ninjutsu. Eva would watch of course to both provide help where she could from her own experiences with Minato and Kushina as well as to make sure Danzo and his men didn't try manipulating the boy into something she didn't want, which had only happened once from a more zealous agent of the war hawk. In return Eva provided Danzo with constant updates on the boy's progress as well as allowing him to use Chachazero for the occasional spying mission within Konoha. As the doll was both lifeless and ran on magic instead of chakra, she couldn't be sensed by any Shinobi means making her the perfect tool for eavesdropping on secret conversations. The only real stipulation to Chachazero's use was that she reported what she found to Evangeline as well, a simple demand that Danzo was fine with complying with.

To be perfectly honest Danzo and Evangeline had come to respect one another and each saw a comrade in disposing of Sarutobi. They would sometimes after giving Naruto an exercise begin talking about plans for Konoha over some tea. While Eva respected the war hawk's views about leadership, she also knew Sarutobi's had their merits as well. In fact she had proposed to Danzo a mix of both styles that the man found himself approving of. Her idea was to simply have Konoha continue to act as a caring and teamwork oriented village, while also employing the darker and more manipulative maneuvers in the background. To both extend the olive branch for peace first like Sarutobi did but to be putting agents in place to strike at any moment should that peace be declined like Danzo would. She also agreed that Konoha needed stricter training regiments to improve the quality of their Shinobi, just not as strict as Danzo believed necessary save for the Anbu. Nothing was strong or strict enough for the ninja meant to be their shadowed elite.

"I'll be drilling you in your taijutsu for a bit before we go over your history and mathematics. The pervert will be coming by tomorrow to work with you on your ninjutsu and eyes." Eva told him as he nodded.

Jiraiya had been something of a trick to work with at first. As expected Sarutobi had tried to use the man against them for his favor. However since Eva had managed to reach him first he knew better and acted like he was on his sensei's side while in reality he was disgusted with the man for his lies and trickery. He was still loyal to the village as a whole and still reported his networks findings to the Hokage but he no longer trusted him and went over every order he was given from multiple angles before following it or faking it. Thus he had to sneak over to Eva's cottage whenever he stopped by the village. When he had first been introduced to Naruto, he had been greeted warmly by the boy and with a warning not to corrupt him from the girl. Since then he had taken up the same role Danzo had been doing in teaching the boy about ninjutsu as well as giving the boy stories about his father from when the man had been under him as a genin on the side.

However the Sannin also got Naruto into fuinjutsu as it was the skill the Uzumaki clan was famous for and something both his parents were experts in as well. The blond had apparently been a natural at the art, learning how things worked well enough in only a few visits while also having the ability to see new and unique ways to use already existing seals in conjunction with others to provide unique and devastating effects. The only problem he had was that his handwriting wasn't very good so Eva had been working with him on that while Jiraiya had forbidden him from making any seals until it got better.

The man had also begun to give Eva the same updates from his network he gave to Sarutobi so that she would be able to see if any of it could be used against her or Naruto. Silently the woman also shared them with Danzo as she felt he would need to know about them as well. Jiraiya didn't trust the war hawk much as he found him too shifty and militant for his tastes just as Danzo found Jiraiya to be too much of an optimist and too trusting. The two put aside their differences to train Naruto, but the strain was still there.

"Cool, Ero-Kyofu can see how I've come along with my sealing too." Naruto commented as Evangeline let out a small grin at what he called the man. After learning about the human body last year and about his godfather's habits he had gone from just Kyofu to Ero-Kyofu, despite Jiraiya's shouts and demands to change it. Eva never helped matters either as she always referred to him as the pervert and never by name. The vampire had found immense amusement in watching him bitch and moan about it and continued to find it as he would rant about 'disrespectful brats' every time Naruto called him such.

"True." The girl mused before they finished their breakfast and headed to Evangeline's resort. It made the perfect training grounds as the boy got an entire day's worth of training in only one real world hour. Not only that but Evangeline could repair it in only a few seconds with her magic as she controlled it. She could even have it simulate various whether patterns such as rain, snow or even a sandstorm as Naruto had experienced one day. Afterwards Eva would go over the basic knowledge the blond would need for the rest of the day such as mathematics, history, politics and geography. While she had never left Konoha due to her seal, she had gathered many books about the world as she had been curious about the 'third world' in her early years and the stories from Kushina never helped rid her of such curiosity. "Now hurry up, I want you to work on that new power you discovered yesterday." The blond chuckled slightly as he remembered yesterdays training session and its unexpected result.

~The Day Before~

"Hey Zero-chan, what're some of the weapons from those other two worlds you and master are from?" The blond asked as he was relaxing after a hard work out session and the small doll was sitting on his head.

"Well there's tons of knives and swords and sharp pointy blades that I like!" She chirped as the boy rolled his eyes. "There's also crossbows and regular bows, small exploding balls called grenades, and a few other things like guns."

"Guns?" He asked. The Shinobi world didn't have those and they could use an explosive tag in place of the grenade objects she mentioned. Chachazero shrugged on his head before making an L shape with her hand and pointing out ahead.

"They're these metal things shaped kinda like this that people hold in their hands. By pulling on a trigger they can fire small metal bullets way faster than any kunai or arrow can go. There's also bigger guns that shoot explosive bullets called rockets. And then there's even a few guns that fired super strong beams of light called lasers!" She exclaimed as Naruto found himself copying the hand shape the doll made.

"Really?" He asked as guns sounded awesome to the boy. He held his hand out to the side and closed his eyes as he pictured have a metal L device in his hand and blasting somebody with a kunai that would explode. He chuckled at the image before Chachazero was gasping on his head and he felt a slight pull on his chakra reserves.

"Whoa! Whiskers, how'd ya do that?" The blond opened his eyes and looked at his hand to see it had seemingly become metal and folded apart to reveal a rotating cylinder and a small lens that was glowing blue with chakra. The boy then looked over to where he had been pointing his hand to see a scorched line on the floor.

"What did I do?" He asked as he pointed his hand out and focused chakra to his hand like he had felt a moment ago. The lens began to glow brighter as the cylinder around it spun faster and a laser shot out that exploded when it struck the wall. "Whoa!" He gasped out as he looked at his arm and his hand reverted to normal when he cut off the chakra. Chachazero was cheering on his head at how the boy had turned into something she called a cyborg and could shoot lasers now.

"Someone want to explain to me why the hell there was a laser flying past my head not even five minutes ago?!" Evangeline shouted as she stomped up behind them with a deadly glare. Chachazero pointed down at Naruto as the blond chuckled nervously and held up his normal hand.

"I uh… I think I discovered a new power?" He stated, though it sounded more like he was questioning it himself as he didn't seem very sure. Eva stared at him and looked to the smoking and cracked wall before face palming and muttering something as the doll started giggling madly.

(4 Years Later)

"Enter." Sarutobi commanded as his assistant told him someone wished to speak with him. The door was opened as he set his pen aside to take a beak from his paperwork and he held back the growl that threatened to show up when he saw who had walked in.

"Sarutobi." Evangeline stated in her adult form as she was out of the cottage. She took the seat across from him as he narrowed his eyes.

"What do you want Evangeline?" She smirked as she just knew he hated her, both because she was stronger and thus untouchable and because of what she did with Naruto.

"I'm here with an offer." She started as the old Hokage raised a brow but kept his gaze on her. "Despite my being against it, Naruto wants to join the Shinobi forces. I've told him of your treachery and about his parents and while he doesn't trust you much at all anymore, the boy wants to make his parents proud by being a strong Shinobi that will protect Konoha. As such, I decided to come to you and set up how this will work." She explained while the old man was mentally smirking. With Naruto in his forces he could work on conditioning him to his side and getting him away from the vampire across from him.

"If he wants to join then he must go to the Academy and graduate like a normal prospect. Then he will be placed on a team with two other genin under a jonin sensei." Eva nodded her head as she waved a hand.

"I knew that, however I'm saying things are going to go a certain way. First off, I've been training and teaching the boy." She left out that Danzo and Jiraiya were as well, it would be better to hide that those two were on her side. "As such he doesn't need to go to the Academy to learn. I'll send him the day of their graduation exams so that he can pass the test like the rest of the genin hopefuls but he won't be going to learn as I've already taught him all he needs and more." Sarutobi suppressed a frown, that would've been a perfect place to start unraveling Eva's grip on the child. "Secondly, I want reports on every C-rank and above mission he goes on. I don't care if it's an S-rank only you and him are supposed to know even exists, I will be told about it in full detail or he will not be joining your ranks Sarutobi."

"Are there any other requests?" The man asked calmly, suppressing the growl that threatened to come out.

"Yes, just one." The man waited patiently as Eva stood and turned to leave. "If you try anything against the boy or myself you will learn what the ice age felt like." She threatened before leaving. As soon as the door closed behind her the Hokage snarled.

"Damn that woman. I will not be made a fool of!" He growled before getting back to the paperwork.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Hey master, I got dinner started." Naruto chirped as Eva walked back into the house and reverted to her real form. The girl grunted before taking her spot at the table as Naruto cooked. The now twelve year old boy was taller than her as well as more muscular from his training. His hair now looked exactly like his fathers from the front while behind he had the excess tied into a small ponytail that reach down to the back of his neck. The boy was still wearing his sleeveless black shirt, orange sash and black pants only now he had added two more objects to his wardrobe. A pair of light blue wrist warmers were now on his arms and currently folded on the table was a sleeveless black cloak with orange flames in the same style as his father. Also at the center of the back of his cloak was a red Uzumaki spiral. "So how'd the meeting with the monkey go?"

"Fine. You will go to the Academy on the day of their final tests to take it and see if you're eligible to be a Shinobi before you're placed on a team like the rest of the graduates." She explained as he set a plate in front of her as well as one for himself before going back to cooking the food. "I also told him that I am to receive reports on every mission you do that isn't D-rank. Those chores are not missions and I don't need to know what you do on them."

"I still find it hard to believe that they actually classify garden work or dog walking as missions." Naruto quipped as the girl snorted in amusement. Nearby on the table Chachazero let out a laugh in agreement. "So when is the graduation exam?"

"One week. If you pass then you'll have another week before being placed on a team with two other graduates under a jonin who will act as sensei. No doubt Sarutobi is already making plans to try and choose a sensei that can subtly twist you to him. I wouldn't put it past him to even try influencing you through the genin if he can." Evangeline explained while Naruto started to dish out the food.

"Okay then. You think I'll pass?" He asked as the girl stared at him blankly.

"Jiraiya and Danzo both put you at high chunin-low jonin level already and you're worried you might not pass a genin exam?" Naruto sheepishly chuckled so she shook her head. "If you're that worried then I'll provide some extra motivation. Get the top score in class and I'll give you something I'm positive you'll find useful."

"Really?" The girl shrugged her shoulders in response.

"To be honest I was planning on doing it eventually. I'll just do it next week if you pass." The boy grinned before starting to eat as Eva thought about her plans. 'It should work for him without magic. At least I hope it does. I never tried it with Kushina or Minato since they were plenty strong enough already.' She mused as she ate.

(1 Week Later)

"So this is the Academy huh?" Naruto mused as he looked down at the slip that told him to head to the class run by an Iruka Umino. The boy walked in to see a woman walking by holding a stack of papers so he caught up and stopped her. "Excuse me, could you direct me to an Iruka Umino's class? I'm supposed to report there for the graduation exams." The woman stopped and looked him over, idly noticing the strong resemblance to the Yondaime before gesturing behind herself.

"Room 106 down that hall."

"Thank you ma'am." Naruto chirped before rushing down the hall. As he passed by classes he could hear a few snippets of the other teachers talking and listened in. 'I learned most of that stuff when I was younger. Maybe those are the early classes?' He thought as he came up to the right room. The boy knocked on the door and when he heard an 'enter' he opened it and walked in. "Hi, is this Iruka Umino's class?"

"Yes it is. I'm Iruka Umino." A man with brown hair tied into a spiky ponytail and a scar over his nose answered. "This is my assistant Mizuki." The chunin introduced as a man with white hair gave a small wave from the side. Naruto also noticed that he was being stared at by practically all the students. "And you are?" Iruka asked as Naruto sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I've been tutored by my master back home but the Hokage said that if I wanted to be a ninja I had to take the graduation exam here to see if I'm eligible." He answered as Iruka was handed his clipboard by Mizuki.

"Ah right, I got a message that you were coming." He quipped before looking the boy over. "Alright, introduce yourself to the class and then we'll get started with the tests." He told him as Naruto turned to look at the students.

"As I said I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen and training and my dream is to be a strong Shinobi that can make my late parents proud and to protect the village." He introduced. The other students stared at him as many began to make some assumptions and opinions of Naruto. One boy however with dark hair and eyes wearing a blue shit with a fan on the back raised his hand. When Iruka pointed him out the boy stood up.

"Sasuke Uchiha." He introduced before getting on with the reason he first raised his hand. "What's wrong with your eyes?" He asked as Naruto looked confused and glanced over at Iruka.

"Did you cover dojutsu in this class?" He asked and the man nodded.

"Yes, the two great dojutsu of the world, the Sharingan of the Uchiha and the Byakugan of the Hyuuga." He answered and Naruto tilted his head to the side.

"What about the third?" The man looked confused as did the entire class so he sighed. "Would it be alright if I explained then?" He asked as Iruka looked to the clock but then nodded.

"Well alright, I'm curious about this myself. I've only ever heard of two dojutsu. Just keep it under ten minutes, we do have a test to give." He stated before looking to the class. "And don't worry, this won't be on the test for you."

"Okay, you mentioned the Sharingan and the Byakugan. However what I have is a dojutsu called the Rinnegan." Naruto started before going to the chalkboard at the front of the class and gesturing if it was okay as Iruka nodded. Naruto picked up a piece of chalk and drew the three eyes on the board before drawing a line connecting the Sharingan and the Rinnegan. "The only recorded user of my eyes is the Rikudou Sennin, the legendary man that gave the world ninjutsu and preached ideals of peace. He was also worshipped as a god for his many feats and unrivaled power that supposedly created the moon, though I don't know if that's true or not. Anyways, legends say the man also had two kids, one with mighty eyes and another with a mighty body. The one with power in his eyes went down the line until his descendents became known as the Uchiha clan and the bloodline twisted and mutated from the Rinnegan to the Sharingan. I don't know where the Byakugan fits in but essentially my eyes are a precursor to the Sharingan." Naruto explained before turning around. Many of the class look stunned while Sasuke had narrowed his eyes in thought. A precursor to his clan's bloodline? Was that even possible? On a side note he was pleased because if the legends were right then Uchiha's were descended from the strongest man in history.

"Now all three also have their own specialty. The Byakugan can see chakra the best out of all the eyes. The Sharingan can read body movement so well the user can predict and mimic their opponent perfectly, which is where their copy ability comes from. My eyes see chakra better than the Sharingan but not as well as the Byakugan while I can read a person better than the Byakugan but not as well as a Sharingan. Also, the Hyuuga have used their chakra sight to create a powerful taijutsu style so their bloodline is more taijutsu focused. The Sharingan of the Uchiha, while known for its ability to copy ninjutsu, is actually genjutsu focused as they can cast illusions only other Sharingan are capable of breaking. My Rinnegan though grants me an immense affinity for ninjutsu. For example, I have all five elemental affinities instead of just the normal one or bloodline two. This means that theoretically, I can learn every non-bloodline exclusive jutsu in existence with enough time and training." Naruto finished before setting the chalk down and walking away from the board. "There's more but I want to keep some things to myself, just like the Hyuuga and Uchiha keep the full details of their eyes a secret as well."

"Thank you for that Naruto." Iruka stated before pointing out an open seat. "Now please take a seat and we'll start the exam." Once Naruto hopped into his seat next to a blond girl with her hair in a ponytail wearing purple and bandages, Iruka and Mizuki began passing out papers. "You all have one hour to complete the written test. Afterwards there will be an accuracy test, a taijutsu test and a ninjutsu test. Those that pass will be granted a headband. Those that fail will have to repeat another year and try again or choose a new career." Iruka explained before glancing at the clock again. "Okay, you may begin."

Naruto flipped his test over and took a quick glance at the questions before smiling. These were easy things he learned when he was eight. Picking up his pencil the Rinnegan wielder began to fill in his answers with quick and precise answers. Meanwhile the girl next to him kept glancing at Naruto from the corner of her eyes while working on her test.

'He's really hot. He looks just like Yondaime-sama. Plus with his story and those eyes that means he practically Shinobi royalty like the Uchiha and Senju! I wonder how strong he is. Maybe he'll be super skilled like Sasuke-kun.' She thought as she saw him finish his test and flip it over so that nobody could cheat off his test. 'Well I guess he's smart.' She mused before going back to her test.

Naruto smiled as he rested his head on his hands and waited. He had finished his test in only twenty minutes so was fine with just relaxing as he glanced over the other students. Besides the blond girl next to him, he noticed that many of the girls in the class would glance at him when the got the chance. He also noticed Sasuke doing it but guessed it was for a different reason, hopefully. As the hour winded down more tests were finished until Iruka finally called for an end. While Mizuki gathered the tests Iruka led the class outside for the accuracy and taijutsu portions.

"Alright, behind me are twelve targets, each worth a different amount of points. You will be given ten kunai and ten shuriken. You will be scored depending on what targets you aim for as well as how many bulls-eyes you achieve. We'll do it in alphabetical order so starting with Shino Aburame." The man explained before calling up a boy with spiky hair and sunglasses in a high collared gray coat. As Naruto waited he was rounded on by the other students.

"So where've you been?" A boy with a bag of chips asked. He also had brown hair, swirls on his cheeks and wore a green jacket over a shirt with the kanji for food.

"I was taken in as an apprentice when I was five. I've been taught and trained by my master since. We live in a house on the edge of the village cause she likes her privacy." Naruto answered.

"Since you were five? You must be strong then." The blond girl he sat next to commented and Naruto shrugged.

"Master still kicks my ass all over the place with her eyes closed so I can't really tell how good I am or not." He replied as a boy with brown hair and red triangles on his cheeks grinned.

"Then maybe those super eyes of yours aren't that good." He joked as Naruto grinned.

"Ya wanna face someone with the eyes of god?"

"Eyes of god?" Sasuke repeated before scoffing. "The Sharingan is better." Naruto shook his head.

"Didn't you listen earlier? The Sharingan is descended from the Rinnegan. And the last user of the Rinnegan was both called and worshipped as a god. Is it wrong to say these are the eyes of god then?" Naruto quipped as the boy just scoffed again. "Besides, each dojutsu has its ups and downs to it. Your Sharingan will give you a major advantage in genjutsu over me and just about everyone else. Plus you'll be able to copy and predict the enemies you face. I however hold a better advantage in ninjutsu and my eyes have a few abilities the Sharingan will be useless against. That's why the Rinnegan is considered the strongest of dojutsu."

"Troublesome, if you're eyes make you so strong why aren't you a ninja yet?" A teen with a spiked ponytail and light green jacket asked with a lazy expression. Naruto shrugged as he noticed Iruka was getting near the U's.

"Master held me back. She said she wanted to both make sure I was fully trained and ready for Shinobi life and she wanted me to be placed into the village's forces among my own age group. She says I'm strong enough without a doubt, she just wanted to make sure."

"Who is your master anyways?" A girl with pink hair and green eyes wearing a red sleeveless asked. Naruto smirked.

"She likes her privacy so I'm not gonna say. Maybe you'll meet her sometime if you're lucky. She's the strongest person in the village anyways."

"I was under the impression that the strongest Shinobi in the village was the Hokage. Are you insinuating that your teacher is more powerful?" Shino asked as he had walked over after his test to learn more about the blond. Naruto shook his head.

"She's not a Shinobi. She is stronger than the Hokage by a long shot actually but she's not a Shinobi and she never leaves the village." Naruto explained. Before he could say more though his name was called. Naruto walked forward as Iruka handed him the tools before stepping back so Naruto adjusted them in his hands before looking around at the targets with a grin. Whipping his hands out Naruto started throwing the kunai and shuriken with pinpoint accuracy, scoring nothing but bulls-eyes on the farthest and smallest targets to gain the highest score. Many of the students were gaping while Iruka smiled.

"Very good Naruto, you matched Sasuke's perfect score." Iruka praised as the boy smirked. The blond boy took his place back in the group as the last few students came forward for their tests. A few minutes later and Iruka led them all to a small circled off area for the taijutsu portion of the exam. "Okay everyone, for the taijutsu exam you will each spar with Mizuki-sensei in the circle. You must last three minutes or defeat Mizuki for a passing grade." Iruka explained before again calling out names in alphabetical order. Naruto watched with some interest as he studied how Mizuki would attack the students. Evangeline had taught him that it was always best to learn how a person moves and reacts so that you could plan accordingly. As Naruto did he noticed that Mizuki was holding back, an obvious move since he was a chunin against only genin hopefuls with no true training. As such only the clan children could truly put up a skilled fight but the man held his own against them since they had nowhere near enough experience and skill to face him. When it was Naruto's turn he walked into the circled with a grin.

"Alright Uzumaki, give me your best." Mizuki called out as Naruto got into his stance, his body turned slightly to the side with his right foot forward. Naruto waited for Iruka to begin the match before he ran forward, far faster than Mizuki was expecting as his eyes widened in surprise. Just as Naruto came close and was about to swing at the man he twisted on his foot and vanished. "Where'd he go?" The man asked dumbly as Naruto appeared behind him and kicked him hard in the back to send him out of the circle. The boy grinned as Mizuki got up and gaped at the boy, a look mirrored by Iruka and the students.

"I guess I pass huh?" Naruto joked as Iruka nodded dumbly. The boy retook his seat as Mizuki got up and rubbed his back.

"Kid's got a strong kick." He mumbled to Iruka as he stepped back into the circle so Iruka could call in the last few. While none of the rest could beat Mizuki, it was clear the man was hurting since he didn't put up as tough of a fight against them as he had been. When the last student was passed Iruka told Mizuki to head off to the nurses office to get a bit of ice for his back while he'd handle the last test on his own. The man led the class back into the room before telling them that he'd be calling them one by one for the tests into another room. If they passed the test then they'd leave the room with a headband marking them as a ninja. Naruto waited silently as he rested his head on his arms and closed is eyes, pushing slight amounts of chakra to his ears to listen in on the students that were talking about him all over class.

"Oh come on Sakura, you've gotta admit how he beat Mizuki-sensei was amazing!"

"Well yeah, kind of. But Sasuke-kun is still better Ino, you know that."

"I'm not sure anymore actually. Sasuke-kun fought Mizuki off and managed to force him out of the circle but it took him two minutes to do it. The new kid did it in one hit."

"So what, are you gonna start chasing him now instead of Sasuke-kun?

"I don't know. Maybe. He's good looking and strong, just like Sasuke-kun so maybe."

"I don't know what you're talking about Akamaru, I'm still the class alpha. This new kid is just some upstart like that prick Sasuke. Just wait, I'll show 'em up and then the girls will be going gaga over me instead. Just you watch!"

"So do you think the new kid is strong Shika?"

"Strong is an understatement Choji. Troublesome, that Naruto guy is a powerhouse. He's easily the strongest in the class and looks to be better than the chunin teaching us. I'm just wondering who his teacher could be that he claims she's stronger than the Hokage."

Naruto chuckled as the others tried to figure out just what to think of him or his master. As his head was down he missed how Sasuke was staring straight at him. 'It has to be his eyes… Although if his master really is stronger than the Hokage then she has to be part of it too. He doesn't deserve that power though. I need it! I'm the one who needs power! I need it to avenge my clan!' The boy thought before getting up as his name was called. Naruto was stirred from his rest as he was tapped on the shoulder. Perking his head up he was met by the timid gaze of a girl with white eyes and dark blue hair wearing a beige jacket.

"Um… m-my clans' h-history s-says the Sharingan is an o-off shot o-of the Byakugan." Naruto raised a brow at that as it was completely against what he was taught.

"Really?" He knew the girl was a Hyuuga off her eyes alone so he knew exactly why she would have info like that. "Well, I guess you'll have to let your clan know that they're wrong. I mean no offense its just when my eyes awoke my master poured over every bit of info about them, both factual and legendary and all her research points to what I said. The thing is she was also friends with an Uchiha so she knows some of their clan history and it supports it as well. The only other clans that would have this kind of info are the Senju and Uzumaki, but the only Senju left is Tsunade of the Sannin and I'm the only Uzumaki left to my knowledge. I'm willing to bet the Hyuuga and Uchiha do have some kind of relation to each other but if there is one then it's the other way around and your clan just got the facts mixed up as time went on." Naruto told her as she shrugged, not knowing if he was right or not.

"I-I'll tell my f-father about it. H-he'll probably want t-to talk to your m-master about it." She told him as he shrugged. He then heard his name called so he stood and walked past her.

"I'll let her know a Hyuuga may stop by." He replied as he entered the testing room. Inside was Iruka sitting at a table with headbands looking over his clipboard. "So, what do I have to do to pass?" He asked as Iruka gave him a small grin.

"I need you to use three basic ninjutsu for me. First, perform a Henge no Jutsu." (Transformation Technique) Naruto shrugged and made a ram sign as there was a puff of smoke and when it cleared Jiraiya was standing in the room. "Jiraiya-sama of the Sannin?" He asked as Naruto poofed back to normal.

"I've met the man before. Strong, but kinda perverted." Naruto admitted, keeping his true relationship with him under wraps. Evangeline had told him that talking about the Uzumaki clan in public was alright but talking about his mother specifically as well as his father and godfather were forbidden until she allowed it. She actually agreed with Sarutobi's move on this matter in that his heritage had to be hidden until he was strong enough to protect himself from the foes his parents had. Info about the Uzumaki clan was the only thing that didn't fall under that rule so he was free to talk about it, as Sarutobi had hidden that away from the general public out of shame for failing their old allies instead of to protect him. He had also hoped that by never telling the boy about his clan that he'd feel closer ties to him since he didn't have any family anywhere. Of course Eva broke him of that and told him that a few Uzumaki's did escape their homes destruction. They were just scattered across the Nations, possibly under alias's to protect themselves.

"Okay then. Now perform a Kawarimi no Jutsu please." (Body Replacement Technique) Naruto flipped through a couple hand-signs before Iruka found himself standing and Naruto sitting in the chair smirking at him.

"Give me twenty push ups if you want to pass." He joked as Iruka shook his head with an amused smile.

"Nice try. Now give me back my seat." He told him as he walked back around the table and Naruto stood in front of him. "Last jutsu is to perform the Bunshin no Jutsu." (Clone Technique) Naruto grimaced and shook his head.

"I can't. Master says I have too much chakra and the control required for the Bunshin is beyond me. I know a different clone technique though. Will that work?" Naruto explained as Iruka nodded.

"It's fine. The Bunshin is simply suggested because it's the easiest of clone jutsus. If it's beyond you but you know a different one then that's acceptable." Naruto nodded and crossed is fingers in front of him.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." (Shadow Clone Technique) He called out as three solid clones appeared next to him. Iruka looked shocked to see a genin hopeful use a jonin ranked technique but shook his head to get his thoughts back on track. One thing he noticed though was all the clones had their eyes closed.

"Okay, you pass." Naruto dispelled the clones as the original opened his eyes and Iruka handed over a headband. "Just a quick question; why did you and the clones close your eyes?"

"When I have clones out, my Rinnegan makes all of us see what the others see, letting me see things from multiple points of view at once. But it gives me such a bad headache that my clones dispel from the pain so I don't like using them." Naruto explained as Iruka nodded and Naruto tied the headband around his head. As the blond left the room he called in the next person for their test.

"Master, I'm back!" Naruto called out as he walked in, new headband proudly displayed on his head. He walked down the hall until he found the woman sitting in her study looking over a book. "I passed master."

"Good job. What ranking did you get?" She asked without looking up from her book. The blond grinned and jabbed a thumb at himself.

"Number one, just like you challenged me to do. The official rankings wouldn't be given out until team placements next week but I stayed back to ask him about me and he said I got the highest score on the test. I'm not eligible for the class rankings since I wasn't part of the class but for just the final exam alone I scored a perfect." Eva smiled and looked up as she closed her book.

"Good. Had you not I would've kicked your ass. No student of mine will be second best in anything." Naruto suppressed the shiver her grin threatened to bring out before following her as she got up and led him to the resort. "I'm guessing you want that prize I promised now aren't you?" She asked as she activated the magic to bring them into the enclosed beach home.

"Kind of. Oh, and a Hyuuga may stop by eventually to contest the whole 'Sharingan comes from Rinnegan' thing. Someone in class asked about my eyes so I explained a bit and afterwards she came and told me her clan says the Sharingan comes from the Byakugan." Eva hummed in thought before putting it out of her mind as she brought him to a side room where a magic seal was written into the ground already. "So what am I getting?"

"I don't actually know." Evangeline admitted making the boy pause. How was she going to give him something she knew would be useful if she didn't know what she was giving him. "What I'm going to be doing here with you is called a pactio. Essentially it is a contract between the two of us. Through the pactio, I will be able to boost your abilities via my magic, we will be able to speak with one another telepathically, and I will be able to summon you to my location whenever I wish. You will also be given a magical artifact that best suits your personality and skills. In that manner, I don't know what you'll get. Everyone gets a different artifact, even if you make pactios with multiple people, you'd get a different artifact every time. Some people get weapons, others get armor, I even know someone whose pactio gave him a special magical book. You will get what best suits you, hence why it will always be useful even though I have absolutely no idea what you'll receive." Evangeline explained before pointing to the circle. "Now step into that circle and close your eyes." She ordered.

"Okay. Wonder if I'll get one of those gun things you and Chachazero told me about." Naruto mused as he stepped into the circle and closed his eyes. Eva walked up to him and pushed some magic into the circle before grabbing him by his face and pulling him down into a kiss. The second Naruto felt the girls lips on his own his eyes flashed wide open and it was only by the barest of margins he didn't instinctively shove her away. He trusted Eva with his life, but he had never expected her to kiss him. Even when he was younger and still something of a crybaby she had at most hugged him. Not once had she ever kissed him. And now she had dragged his face down from above her and locked lips with him. The boy honestly didn't know what to make of it.

The circle flashed and Eva pulled away after a couple moments as a card materialized in mid air between them. The vampire grabbed it and looked it over as she grinned at the picture. "Good, it worked. I wasn't sure if it would since you don't have magic or any ability to use it." She commented as Naruto was still in shock over her kissing him. She chanted out a quick spell to make a copy before handing him the copy. "This is proof of the pactio. To talk with me via telepathy just place it on your forehead and say telepethia. To summon the weapon call out adeat and to put it away afterwards say abeat. Got it?" The blond took the card and looked it over as he grinned at the picture.

Yeah, he could use this.
