2 years later a day before the academy starts

11:00

(Naegi - 1st person)

Two hours, two hours is how long I have been fighting against my opponent across the battleground from me. We started fighting at three in the afternoon deciding on pure taijustu otherwise the nearby landscape wold be like a prelude to the fourth shinobi world war. At first we blocked and dodged everything we threw at each other, but eventually we began to tire and whiffing kicks and punches became full on contact and bruises and bones started getting broken. I hate to admit it but my opponent is going to win this match in the end. I have may have speed and stamina but I lack power. My opponent has all three.

"Y-you r-ready t-t-to g-give up yet?" I ask between panting breaths.

Just because i'm going to lose doesn't mean i'm not going to admit it and give up.

"N-not o-on y-your l-life d-dattebayo." My red headed opponent says almost as. "I-if I g-give up now how would I b-become hokage?"

Didn't fall for it eh? Fine by me then.

Seeing that neither of us are going to give up we cock our punches back and get ready to punch one more time and I dodged under their fist and land a decisive blow to their jaw.

Is what I wish I could say.

What actually happened was that I lost my momentum midway on my run and ended up stopping as her fist was colliding to my face as I get sent back a couple feet knocking me on my ass. I guess now is a good time to give up as any.

"I surrender you win." I say with my hands waving in a motion that would normally include a mini white flag. "Oh god breathing sucks right now."

"Hell yes dattebayo." My opponent says all traces of fatigue gone as if they were never there more than likely overwritten by exictement. She then comes over to me and offers a helping hand up. I take her hand and perform the seal of reconciliation.

"Good match even if I did get my ass kicked again." If I could use ninjustu I probably could of won. Having two affinities gives you a lot of options on versatility.

"Yeah it was. Now that that's over want to get some dango?" After Guy brought dango for us all after a training session one day Naruko decided that she found the second best thing to ramen and alternates between the two each day. Today is dango, tomorrow is ramen.

"Sorry but there's something I have to do here maybe later." I feel bad as seeing her disappointed face I really do, but there's something in the forest that's really bugging at me and I need to see what the hell it is.

"Oh okay dattebayo. Well see ya later then." She says leaving the training ground. Lee and Guy have already left to do their extreme physical training in the strong fist style. Lee has all but become a mini Guy clone at this point and mixes in some Senju taijustu elements into his style.

Okay now to see what the hell has been bugging me for so goddamn long. Whatever it is, it is in the forest, but I can never pinpoint exactly where it's at though it's like it's everywhere. Wait a minute, Senju, forest, weird feelings. Let me try something.

Alright then let's grab as many seeds as I can find and old them in the palm of my hand and pour chakra and I open my palm to see I get...

nothing.

*Sigh*

I'm going to be here a while.

I run through my hand signs and two shadow clones pop up next to me. Tobirama thank you for the details on all your justu so that Naruko and I can spam shadow clones to make life that much easier. Even if I can only go at twice the normal rate.

12:00

(Naruko pov 1st person)

I wonder why Naegi didn't want to come eat dango this time around. He is heavily in love with the stuff. More so than I love ramen in fact and that's saying something.

What? I acknowledge I have an addiction to ramen. Doesn't mean i'm going to do anything about it though.

Anyway that thing he 'has' to do probably involves reading those orange books he keeps away from us. What's weirder is that he constantly giggles and blushes when he reads it just what the hell is so funny about those books dattebayo.

Ah whatever dango here I come.

"Hello there Naruko what can I get you?" the dango seller lady Amaidesu asks me. Besides Teuchi-san she's one of the few restaurant owners that don't immediately shun me from there shops or oversell the prices. Bushy brows-sensei had a fit when he discovered that. He was even angrier when they decided to kick me out of the orphanage. I didn't mind that last one I get my own apartment and those two get stuck in their crappy room. He's like an overprotective dad sometimes though, but still i'm glad.

"I'll take three dango sticks please."

"That will be 1,500 ryo then." I reach into my pocket and-

Uh whoops looks like I left my wallet at home dattebayo.

"Sorry looks like I don't have my wallet on me at the the time." I say rubbing the back of my head sheepishly. I mean seriously this is kind of embarrassing dattebayo.

"I'm sorry Naruko, but I can't hand out dango for free." She says sadly. I understand she is just being fair atleast she's not yelling at me right.

"Excuse me ma'am i'll cover for her." a kid with black hair and facial lines hands Amaidesu the money for the sticks and she hands me three dango sticks. I turn to face the man.

"Hey thank you um." I say hoping to get his name.

"My name is Itachi Uchiha." Uchiha? The people Naegi keeps calling move stealing bastards? He doesn't seem like that much of a bastard if he pays for random people's dango.

"Well Itachi my name is Naruko Uzumaki and i'm going to be the next hokage dattebayo." I say giving him a bright smile. "Good thing I woe you one huh."

"There is no need to thank me the joy of helping other dango lovers is enough for me." he says that, but I still feel bad that he just paid for my food without a second thought so I offer him one. He looks surprised for a second, but he goes back to his blank face quickly and takes the dango stick. "Thank you."

"Hey it's nor problem dattebayo it's the least I can do as the next hokage."

He looks at me for a moment as if he thinking about something before he finally speaks. "Tell me are you going to be a ninja just so you can be a hokage?" I nod but I still think that was a weird question of course I am. How else would i become hokage? "I see tell me why do you want to become hokage?"

"To have everyone finally acknowledge me dattebayo."

"Tell me do you realize you have to get everyone to acknowledge you first then become hokage."

Oh well um, shit, I actually never thought about that.

I guess the look on my face gave him his answer so he continued. "Besides why have everyone acknowledge you when those closest to you acknowledge you already. A bunch of nameless faces can't compare to the ones you know."

I guess he kinda has a point dattebayo. I'm used to having people I don't know ignore or hate me by this point, but what would I do if Naegi, Guy, Lee, or Jiji didn't? I understand what he saying but. "Why we talking about my dreams right now?"

He looks surprised for a moment and looks like he doesn't know the answer himself. Eventually he just smiles for a second before quickly reverting back to his stupid blank expression. "I honestly don't know. Do me a favor though my brother is entering the academy this year, he's a bit shy and might have trouble making friends. Do me a favor and make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble."

Just what the hell is that supposed to mean? "Just what is that supposed to mean dattebayo?"

Instead of answering he just smirks "hn's" and leaves. What the hell is 'hn' supposed to mean? Get back here you bastard and tell me you asshole dattebayo. Whatever annoying Uchiha's aside I guess I should help his brother since he asked me too, even if I have no clue what the hell he meant.

"Um excuse me Naruko-chan?" I look at Amaidesu wondering what she wants." You dropped your dango."

I look at the ground and saw that my delicious snack fallen on the ground. Never to be recovered.

"DAMMIT DATTEBAYO." That asshole made me drop my dango, he's dead!

Konoha streets. 12:44

(Itachi - 3rd person)

In all honesty Itachi had no clue what to make of his most recent conversation with the random red headed girl. She looked like his mother's old friend Uzumaki Kushina just with whisker marks and strawberry hair. Thinking of her made him think of her husband the yondaime. Maybe that's why he had started talking about dreams of hokage. Kushina and the Yondaime were always nice to him and treated him to dango when they could. It saddened him a great deal when he learned they died for Konoha's sake.

Itachi stopped walking when he got the sudden familiar sense of dread. Itachi has only felt something like this twice, the lesser one when he was carrying Sasuke during the kyuubi attack and the worse one, a woman's fury specifically Kushina's.

Itachi shuddered at the memory of Kushina getting angry at Teuchi during pregnancy when she was denied extra ramen left his three year old mind with nightmares to this day.

But this feeling was worse and judging from the way the people around him we're quivering in fear they felt it too, but if they we're conscious when Itachi himself was near paralyzed with fear that could only mean one thing.

He was the target of this person, no, predator's anger.

His thoughts were confirmed when he turned around to see what he thought was the Kyuubi in red headed little girl form come towards him. He was stuck in his spot for a moment before he decided that being there any longer wouldn't help his already deteriorating condition. He'd rather deal with the actual Kyuubi itself than her. He decided that his brother was both safe and in horrible danger if that's what he had watching out for him.

For now the best course of option was to run of course the roofs should be the most viable option.

Itachi walked up the nearest roof and turned around to his horror as she began walking up the roof as if it was the most casual thing in the world. Itachi quickly shook his surprise and simply decided to hop roof from roof away from the mini Kyuubi after him only for her to follow close behind. 'How was this even possible?' Itachi thought 'Most gennin don't know how to tree walk let alone funnel chakra into their legs'.

Itachi make the quick deduction that she was better than most gennin and would be better than most chunnin in a couple years. She'll be in the academy for a year at the most before they decide she is more than ready to be a ninja. If this is how the current generation is turning out he would have to step up Sasuke's training after all he wouldn't want his imouto (little brother) looking bad now would he?

Thankfully she doesn't seem to know the body flicker technique and this allowed Itach to havei a safe getaway from the raging red head knowing that she wouldn't go near the Uchiha district.

He hopes.

"Hey Itachi." A fellow Uchiha cheerfully greeted him upon his arrival.

"Hello Shisui-san." Itachi greeted with his usual monotone.

"So you gonna explain why that girl was chasing you?" Shisui said obviously amused by Itachi running away from a girl who's not even a ninja yet.

"Hn." indignantly replied.

"Of course you won't." Shisui said rolling his eyes with mirth barely hidden mirth.

training ground nine 12:00

(Lee 1st person)

One hundred and ninety seven.

One hundred and ninety eight.

One hundred and ninety nine.

Two hundred, yes I finally did it.

"Sensei, I did it two hundred hand stands am I being most youthful?"

"Yes Lee you are now we can stop for the day Naegi and Naruko are more than likely done already."

Huh I guess in my youthful passions I didn't notice that it was nearing midday I suppose that it is time for us to stop.

"So Lee you're going to start the academy with Naegi and Naruko tommorow right?" I nodded. "You didn't mind waiting a year for them to be able to enter the academy so you all could join together?" I nodded at this too.

"Sensei why are you asking me this again?" Sensei's face took on a serious look. I don't understand what is troubling him he has asked me this before.

"Because Lee you three's plan might not go that way." What is sensei talking about? "Those two already know most if not all of what the academy teaches and should be on par with a basic gennin ninja at this point. You are too, but unlike them you can't properly use chakra so the school might not let you graduate anywhere near as early as those two will. At the most they will let you move up a year."

"But sensei what about all of my hard work?"

"you have done very good Lee with the combination of the gates and your current taijustu I have no doubt you could reach jonin by the time your fifteen. I'm just saying they might not let you graduate early as a gennin until they feel like it would be safe to let you go out there. I'm just saying be prepared to be on a team without the one or the both of them." Ah I see. "Don't look so crestfallen Lee i'm sorry to say this, but unfortunately things don't always go the way we want to them too." I know sensei is right but dammit. "Besides you don't need a rank to prove how good you are there is a number of times where a lower rank ninja has easily beat a higher rank one. A rank doesn't mean anything your skills do so keep at it kid."

Sensei is right I shouldn't just give up that would be unyouthful. This is nothing but a minor setback on my way to become a ninja. How could I even dare think of giving up after everything I done. Besides I still haven't gotten into an all out match with Naruko or Naegi yet.

"Yes your right sensei i'm sorry for doubting myself for even a second, and for that I shall run a hundred laps around Konoha."

"Good Lee I shall join you. Let's go show everyone just how youthful we are." Sensei then took of running and I followed behind him.

Back with Naegi

1:00

(Naegi 1st person.)

Ok let's try this one more time just to make sure I got this. Focus your chakra into your palm. Apply nature transformations. Then put on nature transformation and open palm to see...

Sprouting seeds.

Perfect wood release usage. I can't believe it. I have a nature transformation kekkai genkai (bloodline limit). Holy shit I just did it right there. I mean it's nothing too special but it is something. I have to keep this under wraps my surname can cause enough problems it's lucky enough I managed to avoid root all this time. This this is like asking Danzo to poke and prod at me. I can't tell anybody about this. I'll just practice this in secret and only use it in emergencies.

I should probably get the hell outta here before someone sees me. I'll be back tomorrow to try turning the seeds into trees. Look on the bright side if being a ninja sucks I can always have a job at being a carpenter. Build entire houses with complete furniture in minutes. Actually that doesn't sound like a bad idea in fact.

Shadow clone justu.

"You two sit here and practice wood nature transformation enough to be able to make wood clones."

"So that when you eventually get really good at this you'll use 'that technique' to disguise yourself and become a world wide famous carpenter." Shadow A said.

"Yep"

"Got it boss." they said in unison and dashed off to gather more seeds while I went into town to acquire some supplies.

Sucks ass I can't make more than two of these guys. It'll take me a least a a year to be able to use wood release in combat properly. Took me long enough to master basic water justu and earth styles. Oh well i'm still young again i'll just focus on being able to craft water justus out the air like Tobirama did for now.

*Bump*

Ow who the hell wasn't watching where they were-

"I-i-i'm s-sorry I-i d-didn't watch w-where I-i w-was g-going." In front of me ladies and gentlemen was a very young Hinata looking like a nervous wreck. Dammit I would congratulate her on making me feel bad for wanting to snap at her for bumping into me if I didn't know that wasn't in act.

"Oi oi it's cool accidents happen no need to be nervous i'm not going to bite your head off. Man I don't look like that much of a bad guy do I? I mean sure my hair is black and white, but I can't help that my hair is a bit weird."

"N-no y-you d-don't l-look b-bad a-and y-your h-hair i-isn't w-weird." She says inspecting a very interesting piece of dirt. I decided to kneel down tot he ground and look at the exact spot she's looking at. "W-what a-are y-you d-doing?"

"Well you apparently find this part of the ground very interesting either that or my face is just so ugly that you would rather look at dirt." I say making a face of mock hurt.

"N-No i-it's n-not t-that a-at a-all. I-i'm j-just n-nervous s-sorry." she starts focusing on my feet now.

"Then lose it." I quickly say seriously this is getting annoying and this needs to be nipped in the bud early on

"W-what?"

"Loose the nervousness."

"I-i c-can't j-just d-do -"

"Bullshit you can't just channel your inner hidden dragon."

"M-my w-what?"

"Your inner hidden dragon, it's that part of you that just has confidence bursting out of it and lights a fire in your eyes."

"I-i d-don't t-think I-i have o-one of those." she starts facing the ground again. That is getting kind of annoying.

"Of course you do everyone has one you just take too little of it. You just need to learn how to take just enough of it, but not too much of it."

"W-what h-happens i-if y-you t-take t-too m-much o-of i-it." she decided to look back up at me again.

"You don't wanna know. Anyway I believe that you can learn how to control it."

"R-really?"

"Hell yes my name is Naegi and starting today you shall go on the road to being confident. What's your name."

"H-hinata H-hyuuga."

"We start this tomorrow at 5:00 since i'm busy today." I pulled a blank scroll out from my pocket and quickly wrote some words on it. "For now practice saying these words without stuttering." I hand the list to her/

She took the list but looked confused at them. "W-what's s-so s-special a-about t-these w-words." Ah perfect she doesn't know what fuck means perfect.

"There words of confidence just make sure not to say them in front of adults they feel really threatened when kids say these words." Or in my old life's case resulted in an ass whooping but she doesn't need to know that. "I have to go now so I will see you tomorrow or not." I say running in the direction of the store I was looking for.

A couple corners later and i'm here at the front door. Alright time to get my package I've been waiting a whole month for it.

Inside the shop

(Third person.)

A man behind the counter was patiently waiting for customers. Specifically two customers after all they did come here to buy the same thing every time it came out.

"Excuse me sir I would like to make a purchase." Ah there was customer number one in fact.

Customer one was a man who the clerk man didn't know. He always kept a mask over his face and kept one of his eyes covered. He hadn't even bothered to tell him his name, but as long as he kept paying he didn't care. The only thing he could tell about the man was that he was a leaf ninja from his headband covering his right eye and had the oddest gravity defying silver hair.

"Sure he you go one copy of the latest edition of Icha Icha paradise. That'll be 3,500 ryo" The clerk man said passing him a familiar orange book from a certain toad sage.

"Thank you." The one eyed silver haired man said walking out of the store already reading the book.

The ringing of bells an hour later told him that his second customer might have already showed up.

"What sup man you got the latest edition of Icha Icha paradise?" A cute dark skinned woman with white hair wearing a white stripped black tracksuit vut just above the navel and shorts with black sandals. Unlike the last man this woman was more than likely just some civilian at first he thought she was just some kid henged so they could get a glimpse at the books, but from what he knew about henges they never feel physical nor do they last when you hit them. He embarrassingly found out that when he hit her with a broom when they first met. He was afraid that she would press charges but just said that if he wanted her to stay quiet just give her the newest copy of Icha Icha paradise whenever they came out to which the store owner happily agreed it wasn't like they were his best selling series anyway.

"Sure Rise here you go." the clerk man said happily handing her a book. He wasn't too mad with her she wasn't bad looking at all in fact he had asked her on dates multiple times but he always was sadly rejected for the same reason that he had respected.

"Thanks man if I wasn't into girls I would totally kiss you right now." Ah yes the glaring fact that she sadly wasn't into men. Regrettable but he promised to respect her opinion. After all her cleavage has more than enough eye candy. Main reason why he made sure to get the newest edition when they came in.

"Oh that's alright enjoy your book." At this she nodded and left the store book in tow. Oh yeah watching her tight clothes on her ass on the way out was another reason he made sure to get the books.

What the clerk man didn't know however was the second she left the store she would quickly hide in an alleyway and come out in her true form of a six year old boy with white and black hair and with the same clothes on but actually fitting with the tracksuit covering the entire body and the shorts became pants while the sandals stayed the same. Smirking to himself on yet another successful acquisition of supplies he went home for the day to read the entire book in his orphanage room.

'I wonder if I should show up for dinner?' he thought on his way back. 'Nah i'll just use sexy no justu and score some free food. Men are really easy to exploit when you have nice tits.'

The next day 7:00

(Third person pov)

At seven o clock the academy was busy. It had just opened up again for another year ready to take in students again. This year would prove interesting however. There were multiple clan heirs in the same class this year proving for it to be a most interesting year.

Three of them in the crowd of students being called to classes had a shared goal in mind for this year however. These three students knew each other and would be the ones to stand out this year among everyone else however. Two clan heirs no one even knew about, but two of them and the first ninja who would be unable to use ninjustu or even basic nature transformations all while wearing green spandex.

These three knew the goal clearly in nodded in understanding to each other the second they went to the same class.

There goal. Graduate from the academy within one year's time.

Omake training

(2 years later)

"Naegi-san are you sure this is necessary to training." Hinata asks me as we stand outside our target.

"Yes I am." I'm sure this will help with confidence.

"I get the feeling that's a load of shit." Perfect swearing is already at an acceptable level. She's come so far.

"Excuse me, but what happened to your stutter?" You cannot argue with results.

"Dammit fine." She ran through the hand signs for the justu I showed her. Sexy justu. Taking in her new form she went into the store and came out a bit later with the newest edition of Icha Icha.

"There was that so hard now?" I took the book from her hands. I need to know whether or not Yukari and Minato finally tie the know with each other or does Minato's evil brother Dio prevent him from getting her in the end.

"No, I just wish you didn't have me going into stores buying you porn." Don't say that like you don't read it too.

"Well your more confident now aren't you?" you have moved on so far from spying on the hot springs when asked to and dumping paint into the hyuuga bath house. The chaos that ensued when we had to outrun pissed off clansmen. Heheh that would be much scary if I had said that in my past life.

"I'll admit that you are a good teacher sometimes." Even if I have no clue what i'm doing. I'm saying that in the present tense too. Oh well if it works it works.

"Then I have taught you well my pupil now let's go get dango." Dango is still fucking amazing.

End note

I'm going to try switching character points of view more often this time around. Tell me what you think of that.

Amaidesu means sweet in japanese. Corny pun I know.
