Author's note
HAHA you thought this would be something with the kyuubi festival or graduation from the academy but it was this instead.

(Naegi 1st person)
Hello there. If you could see me know you'd know i'm running through Konoha with Hinata close behind me. You'd also see that we each have giant paint stains on each of our clothes and hair. I must say having dark pink in my hair is something I have to consider doing now that I see how good it looks.
"To the left." At Hinata's words we turned left into the next alleyway not losing our momentum.
The reason we're running so hard is because we just got done with our most successful attempt at painting, Striking directly on the first hokage's stupid face with . I don't dislike the first is just that I gotta let a mothafucka know that i'm the next wood style master and he's not. Showing him whose boss basically.
"We should be good as long as we avoid going near Ramen stands and ninja gear store." Nodding at this we ran to the right in the opposite direction of both of the stores to hit the escape area near the library.
Arriving there near out of breath we used chakra to walk up to the spot on the wall I hollowed out with wood release so that we could access the little indent here and wait for attention to us to die down. Upon walking in there and closing the wall behind us we sat down in our respective corners and just stayed silent except for the panting noises as we washed our hair out. The police were particularly brutal today having to run for three hours on end was not fun.
This is mostly how the last year or so has went for me. Wake up in the orphanage send shadow clones to practice wood nature transformation while i'm in school. As soon as school ends grab Lee get dango and wait for Hinata and Naruko to get out reading over the Senju scroll while i'm there. As soon as the two get out We either pull a prank with just the two of us or Train with Lee and Naruko. After that we go home and sleep.
Wood style training is going good especially when Hashirama put everything he used in this scroll. I have an obscene amount of affinity for water styles as it turns out. Fuinjustu is as complicated as usual and it's only do to the senju scroll on what not to do I haven't completely blown myself up yet and even then it's still nerve wracking and dangerous as all hell with as many landmines there are in that.
To explain how fuinjustu works in detail is that it's a lot like hacking and programming except you effect physical objects in the world making it that much more dangerous. Example, I can write down the basic codes for making a storage seal made for items and not human bodies, but if I were to say take a couple of the words and modify them it could become a corpse storage seal instead. Unfortunately that means if you accidentally write the codes for something like explode the second you finish the seal would explode instantly without the normal explosive note code for trigger. No wonder explosive notes are expensive.
But you can also have fun with it if you really tried. I could take an explosive note and change it to where normally instead of taking in chakra and turning it into fire nature and exploding like normal you can do whatever else you want. You could adjust rewrite it and make it turn the chakra into something like oil or, in today's case, paint instead. That only scratches the surface of techniques however. There's weight increases, chakra absorbs, lots of stuff. Enough of that we have an extremely exhausted boy and girl together in the same room and neiter of them smell of sex.
"Hey Hinata you alright."
"Y-yeah I am." These little escapades have helped Hinata with her confidence and she's almost lost her stutter completely. Being the most important part of a plan kinda does that too you. Sadly she still hasn't been noticed by her family their attention is almost completely on Neji right now. Shame too she could give Naruko and Neji runs for their money right now.
"Good you think you could use a quick scan to see if the area is clear? I'll pull out our extra jackets." Hinata nodded and activated her Byakugan and scanned in a 40 meter radius around us. She doesn't even need to use hand seals to activate it now.
I meanwhile pulled out the scroll containing our jackets so that we could cover our stained shirts. A mini version of Hinata's part one jacket and a dark purple tracksuit for me. As soon as she gives the clear we can take off the masks and go back outside.
Honestly it's like we're Anbu already. Just instead of murdering innocents and stealing information we paint public property and say fuck the police.
"Well see you later i'm going to meet up with Lee." I promised him and Sakura dango after losing a bet on who could hold their breath under water longer. The thought of having Lee carry me everywhere for a day was to good to pass up.
"H-hai Naegi-san see you later." With that she walked off towards the Hyuuga compound.
Arriving at the dango shop I saw Lee and Sakura waiting outside of the shop for me. As soon as he saw me he walked over and we gave each other a handshake as greeting.
"Ready to pay what you owe Naegi-san?"
"Tch whatever just because you can hold your breath longer than me doesn't make you any better than me." I turned to look at Sakura. "Hey Sakura how's it going?"
"Hello Naegi-san." Sakura greeted. "Thank you for treating us to dango."
I waved her thanks off. "Don't thank me thank Lee he won the bet. Besides I have enough money to last." After all it's not my money i'm using. The orphanage caretakers don't need to buy so much alcohol anyway i'm doing them a favor stealing their money.
We all walked into the dango parlor and ordered our sticks I got five while Lee and Sakura got three each. "So hows training between you two going?" Lee took on the job of helping Sakura get stronger in her taijustu game while I may of dropped some incredibly subtle hints to try medical ninjustu.
Flashback 3 months ago
(Third person)
Sakura was sitting with her friends Lee and Ino discussing class when Naegi all of a sudden decided to walk up to Sakura and Ino and drop two books on medical ninjustu into their laps.
"Naegi-kun what is- " Ino tried to say but was quickly cut off by Naegi.
"Learn medical ninjustu." Then he walked off before anyone had the chance to speak leaving everyone stunned and very much confused.
The two girls recovered first and immediately decided that this was just one of Naegi's weird quirks that all prodigies seem to have, after all Sasuke, Lee, and Naegi aren't exactly the most approachable of people but at least they were cute. They did however know to take advice when it was given and decided to see if the idea had credit to it.
Lee was just wondering why Naegi suggested medical ninjustu when he admitted himself that it was too difficult for him to learn.
(Naegi 1st person)
My flashback was interrupted when Sakura decided to to acknowledge my question. "It's going great thanks for recommending the book to me." As expected you are going great with medical ninjustu. "Also how's the upper classes like?"
"There going great Sakura-san." Lee and I weren't allowed to graduate like we wanted but we were moved up in different classes. Naruko moved up into the highest one from her showing proficient skill in nin, tai, and genjustu She graduates this year. I was moved up with Hinata and Sasuke for high ninjustu skills and above average in taijustu while Hinata was vice versa. Lee was only able to get moved into the class Neji and Tenten was in with most of the original rookie nine following him. After all clan heir's can't exactly be weaker than normal civilian kids can they no matter how freakishly good they are.
Lee wasn't exactly too happy to find out he got held back simply because he couldn't use chakra that well. Neither was Guy or Naruko or me for that matter. He brightened up when he found out that Sakura would be in the same class as him so he wasn't too bummed out.
"Ah that's good." Sakura then turned to Lee to start a conversation. I have to say their relationship as friends so far has only been positive. i was fully prepared to commit suicide if the situation ever called for me to stuck with Lee's cries of youthfulness until Sakura came around. She not only got him to say it less, but she fixed his eyebrows and made him get out the jumpsuit she got him out of it. Needless to say I owe her a lot.
Well if those two are going to talk to each other i'm going to make like a tree and leaf before the mood gets too sappy for me. Get it cause I have wood release and I can make trees and sap is in trees. Oh don't you judge me nice hair fuckers.
Deciding to walk back to my shared room with Lee in the orphanage I was frozen stiff when I was called by a voice I really didn't want to hear right now when I was just outside the orphanage.
"Hello Naegi-san I want to make you an offer for power." Councilman Danzo Shimura said.
Goddammit I didn't want to ever run into this guy he's corrupt as hell and is only concerned about gaining power. "I don't want it." If your wondering why i;m so scared it's because I don't want to become so hollow shell who only follows orders. I don't want to lose the emotions that make me me. I don't want to forget that I have friends who I care about. The very thought of that has me in tears.
Danzo narrowed his eyes and walked closer to me. "I'm afraid that you don't have much of a choice."
(Naruko 1st person)
I wonder what everyone else is up to today. I haven't really seen much of Naegi and Lee much lately since the didn't get to be in the same class as me and I haven't really had time to see them. At least I can tell what Naegi's doing if I know who had the police on edge because of the Hokage monument being painted all over today. That's kind of weak I could easily pull off something better and way more hilarious in my sleep in fact.
I walked over to a shop ignoring all the scowls I got on my way there and walked into a nearby alleyway and used a henge when no one was looking. Turning myself into a tall blonde man I bought a can of blue dye and walked over to the town hot springs. I was getting ready to pour it into the stream leading into the springs when I heard giggling near the girls hot spring side. I went over to the fence to see of anyone was there after all the Hokage has to make sure the village is safe.
"Who's there?" I asked thinking it was probably Naegi when I saw the bit of white hair coming out and the fact Naegi is a bit of a pervert from what I've seen of those Icha Icha books.I don't know how he reads them.
I realized it wasn't him when I saw that he had longer hair than Naegi and that his air was completely white in the front too and not just the back and that his hair was much longer. What I found instead was some old guy wearing red clothes and had a massive scroll on his back.
"Who are you?" My voice startled him and he turned around and shushed me then I noticed that there was a hole leading into the girls side of the fence. "What do you think you're doing?" I asked getting ready to smash this guy to bits. Naegi may be a bit of a pervert but at least he respects women's privacy I think for all I know he's using that sexy technique to be one of those girls there.
"Ku-Kushina?" Who? The guy realized i'm not whoever that was and motioned for me to stop. "Listen i'm researching alright I write a book called Icha Icha maybe you've heard of it?" This is the guy who writes them. How am I not surprised?
"You're the one who write's those books Naegi reads when he thinks no one is watching." I'm not sure whether I should still pummel this guy or not Naegi might be mad if I kill his hero. Then again what he doesn't know won't hurt him.
"Ah so your friend read my books he must have good tastes then to be reading a book from the one and only legendary sannin Jiraiya. Surely you've heard of me." This guy a sannin one of those really powerful people Naegi keeps talking about. This guy is a massive pervert.
"Yeah my friend talks about you three constantly saying how awesome the sannin are. He looks up to you" I'm really going to have to discuss with Naegi who he takes on as his role models from now on.
"Oh ho the kid is better than I thought maybe I should meet with him and give him an autograph."
"No you won't I don't want you anywhere near him."
"And just who are you to tell me this?" Who am I? he asks
"I'm Uzumaki Naruko and i'm going to be Hokage one of these days dattebayo."
"Like a brat like you could be a hokage."
"Hey i'm already graduating from the academy this year and besides like a pervert like you could be a sannin." I don't care what Naegi says this can't be one of the most powerful ninja's ever.
"I am not a pervert." At least he denies it. "I'm a super pervert." And he just had to ruin it in one go.
"Uh whatever I guess Naegi would be mad at me if I didn't let him meet his role model at least once he should be at the orphanage by this time so let's go."
"So tell me more about this kid, Naegi right?" Naegi would be in tears of joy if he knew his hero was interested in meeting him.
"He has two different colors of hair half of it is completely white and the other is black."
"That's kind of weird."
"I agree." I thought that was weird as well too. "He has both water and earth affinities and he can do some kind of wood justus." At those words the toad sage completely stopped moving. What did I say that was so bad.
"Did you say he could use wood justus?" Is that what he's so caught up about it's just wood manipulation.
"Well yeah but he told me to keep it secret because people could hunt him over it. You can keep a secret right?" I really hope I didn't mess up badly with telling him this.
He sat there and thought for a minute with a serious face I didn't think he was capable of before returning with his original smile. "Yeah I can keep a secret I am a world famous ninja after all."
He looks like he's being completely honest with me and he doesn't seem to bad when he's not perving out "Good follow me then."
I figured Naegi would be back at the orphanage at this time since he just got done with his prank so I wasn't surprised to see him back at the orphanage gates. What really surprised me was that he was shaking in fear and that he was being talked to by some old man with a bandage over his eye.
"He's over there but I don't know who that old guy is." Jiraiya must of know who that man was because his eyes widened before he ran over there in a second before he said something and the old man walked off. Naegi dropped to his knees and Jiraiya started checking on him to see if he was okay.
When I finally got over there I saw that Naegi had tears going down his eyes. Just what the hell did that old bastard do to make him cry i'll kill him dattebayo. "Naegi what's wrong yo alright?" He better not of hurt him or he'll be sorry.
Naegi looked over my way before he shook is head and lost the look of complete fear on is face. "Not really he just scared me and started talking about how he could give me power." Take him away? "Don't worry I said no but I doubt he'd just leave me alone like that. The part that scares me the most is that he knew about that." That? what's that?
"What's that?"
"I can't say." Naegi inched his head in ero-sennin's direction. Oh yeah that.
"I already know about the wood release kid." Jiraiya said. Naegi looked surprised for a moment and the look of fear was back but not nearly as bad as before. "Don't worry kid I won't spill to anyone I know who'll hurt you. You can trust me with your secret." Naegi calmed down at this. "Come on let's go to the Hokage if he hears about this you should be able to get a bit of protection from Danzo come on Naruko."
We all started going to the Hokage tower and Naegi finally noticed that his long time role model was in front of him. "You're Jiraiya of the sannin right?" Jiraiya nodded. "I'm a huge fan of you and Tsunade. Your books are really good too. I kinda of look up to you."
"I know kid your friend Naruko told me."
"What were you doing with Naruko anyway?"
"Oh We were discussing me taking her on as an apprentice." What? When did we say this.
"Why would I do that you're a pervert dattebayo."
"First of all i'm a super pervert and I decided that you would make a good apprentice under me."
"Why should -" I was rudely interrupted.
"You should take it." Naegi you're supposed to be on my side not his. "Listen before you protest a legendary sannin is offering to teach you and he helped the fourth hokage out. Besides I wouldn't say yes to him if he was going to do something bad to you would I?" Naegi does have a point kinda.
"Why not you then you're his fan not me." I would feel bad if I took Naegi's favorite person on as a teacher.
"I have my reasons for taking you on and not him." Are you going to tell me what those reasons are? "No i'm not going to tell you just be glad i'm offering think about it. Even if you don't i'll be here for a couple of weeks so How about I teach you two a couple tricks of a sannin?" Naegi jumped for joy at this.
"Fine i'll consider it." If he'll show us something i'll take it then.
"Good now let's go where here." I looked up and sure enough we were at the tower jiji works in.
We all walked in and went towards the stairs leading up. The secretary scowled when she saw me but she relented when Naegi and Jiraiya set death glares at her. When we got up to jiji's room Jiraiya told us to wait and he left Naegi and I outside the door.
"So are you sure I should take his offer?" I want to be sure. Naegi's my friend I want him to be okay with this.
Naegi smiled and nodded. "Yeah I don't mind at all i'm glad my best friend is being trained by a sannin. Just make sure to stay in touch if you do join him."
"Fine but I still think he's a massive pervert."
"I won't deny you that but at least he isn't Orochimaru." Naegi shuddered at the end of that what could be so bad that it beats Jiraiya. "Just remember Jiraiya is the most sane of all the sannin be glad you have him." That guy is? The others must be really bad then.
"Excuse me Naegi-san could you please come in?" jiji called out from his office and Naegi had walked into his office leaving me out here alone. Nothing to do but stay awake and wait for them to get done.
A couple minutes before the end of the last scene.
(Third person)
Sarutobi was busy wondering just why the hell was a man who had been revered as the god of all shinobi currently sitting in an office filling out mountains of paperwork when the thankful distraction of his old student had come allowing him to have the excuse to push the paper out of his sight.
"Ah hello Jiraiya nice to see you I take it you've been well." Hiruzen said cheerfully for more reasons than seeing one of his old students.
"Yeah I met my goddaughter today she's like a mini Kushina with Minato's face and hair. I'm actually considering taking her on as an apprentice when she graduates if you don't mind."
Sarutobi thought about it for a moment before nodding in approval Naruko may of had friends here but she was still treated badly by most of the village. Maybe going out of town with her godfather could help her out a bit.
Jiraiya smiled brightly at this but then his face took on a more serious expression. "That's not what i'm here for however it's about Danzo."
Hiruzen's mood darkened at this. Danzo was the one thing that could depress him more than his mountains of paperwork. "What about Danzo?" Hiruzen was already starting to regret talking to him about this already.
"I caught Danzo in the middle of trying to force one of Naruko's friends Naegi to join some program earlier."
Hiruzen was aware of this he allowed Danzo to have his organization so that he could make his own brand of soldiers. Danzo had asked for permission to take Naegi into it multiple times. The only thing keeping him from saying yes was that he didn't want Naruko to lose one of the few friends she had otherwise he would of said yes to it thinking it would benefit the boy. To hear that he tried to do it behind his back was worrying that Danzo might be trying to usurp his power.
"Oh he has now I shall have to discuss this with Danzo later is that all?" Expecting this to be all that Jiraiya had to offer.
To Hiruzen's minor surprise it wasn't in fact Jiraiya's mood took on a lighter tone. "Naruko has told me that Naegi might be in possession of wood release abilities. Do you realize what this means if it's true?"
Hiruzen's surprise from earlier changed to complete shock and his pipe fell out of his mouth. He knew well more than what that could possibly mean. For one that meant the boy was of Senju nobility since the only other person to have it was Hashirama. Sure Tenzo did, but he doubted Orochimaru would let a wood release user go like that. Since he was of Senju nobility that meant that the boy was related to Tsunade in some way which could give her a reason to come back to Konoha if she had known she had family back with here.
Hiruzen regained his composure and nodded but he needed to confirm if this was true or not and there would only be one way to do that. "Excuse me Naegi-san could you please come in?"
Naegi had walked in the room and Hiruzen immediately took a double take at the boy again noting that he should of thought of something when he saw that his hair was a mixture of Tobirama white and Hashirama black. His skin color was even the same as Hashirama's. Then the boy having higher chakra reserves to perform a supposed B rank water ninjustu. The more he thought about it the more everything set in place for the boy to be Senju.
"Yes Hokage-sama?" Naegi had asked.
"I heard you have wood release capabilities is this true and if so could you please demonstrate it to us?"
Naegi shot an accusing glare at Jiraiya who had rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and made an apologetic expression. So the boy was trying to keep it a secret Hiruzen noted.
Naegi sighed and took on a look of concentration before his hands had started turning into solid wood and then back again.
This had the effect of shocking everyone in the room Anbu included as they hadn't really believed in some kid possessing wood release. Hiruzen dropped his pipe again while Jiraiya simply looked on in extreme interest. Yamato was simply jealous that some kid had managed to do something it took him years to do.
"I've been trying to keep it a secret for a while now but I guess I had to reveal it sometime." Naegi said.
"Why did you keep it secret?" Hiruzen was confused normally kids would brag all the time about any special ability they may posses even little Itachi had did a little dance of happiness upon getting his sharingan not that he'd ever admit it.
"Because i'm observant and usually kids with abilities get taken away by that old guy and he just scares me really badly." Hiruzen figured that the old man was Danzo and he was glad this kid had the brains to know that showing off would get him in trouble or else Danzo would have gotten him in a heartbeat.
Naegi had decided since he was having secrets revealed he might as well go out. He turned his hand into wood again but gave it a sharper edge this time and made a gash in his other hand before anyone could react. Everyone could only watch in astonishment as the wound healed in a couple of seconds. He then took off the scroll on his back and handed it to Jiraiya. "Also this scroll I keep with me has a lot of Senju information in it including kinjustu and it's the main reason that I've been doing so well so far I want Jiraiya to hold onto to it I don't want anyone letting this fall into the wrong hands but just in case I have it locked with fourteen words that only I know."
Jiraiya took the scroll and immediately put it a his own locked sealing scroll. Everyone else in the room was simply astonished that he was casually walking around with a scroll as dangerous as that locked or not.
Naegi decided this was the perfect time to go and left the office without a word. This left everyone else thinking that he was quite rude. As soon as he left Hiruzen immediately demonstrated why he was the hokage and got to work.
"Anbu this is a S rank secret the only people to know this are us and Lady Tsunade. Cat come here." Yamato jumped down from his hidden panel in the ceiling in front of the hokage. "I want you to be jonin sensei of Naegi's team and train him in wood release when he graduates. Jiraiya as soon as your spy network finds Tsunade I want you to take Naegi with you so you can convince her to come back to Konoha and take over as hokage. Everyone nodded and left the office to fulfill their roles.
Hiruzen sighed he was going to have so much damn paperwork from this why does this exist e thought.
Naegi chose this moment to poke his head through the office door. "Shadow clone justu helps with paperwork." And he left off with that. Allowing Hiruzen to slam his head repeatedly into his desk for being so stupid not to come up with that and letting a kid not even out the academy think of it first.
Omake Training.
(third person)
As the sannin promised he took the two out for training after convincing the hokage that Naegi and Naruko could take days out of the academy to learn from Jiraiya. So thus the four of them were currently outside of Konoha with Jiraiya. Nothing could make Naruko and Naegi less excited about learning from a sannin.
"WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO WEAR THIS DAMN FROG SUIT!" Naruko exclaimed.
Jiraiya's first rule that they all had to wear frog suits killed it faster than a chidori to the heart ever could.
They both had protested to the very idea of getting into anything that green it reminded them both a bit too much of Guy for them too be comfortable.
Naegi was the first one to crack simply because he had mentally prepared himself for this at first and Naruko soon followed. After that Naruko had been told to pop a balloon without touching it so she could learn a cool new justu while he discussed seals with Naegi over by the trees. Sadly they happened to get to into a pretty important argument that annoyed Naruko to no end.
"DAMMIT OLD MAN IT'S ABOUT THE WIGGLE!" Naegi protested to Jiraiya.
"AND I TOLD YOU BRAT THE JIGGLE IS WHERE IT'S AT!" Jiraiya returned.
Sadly the argument had nothing to do with sealing not that Naruko knew anything about what they were talking about, but she had a pretty good clue as to what they were discussing.
"WIGGLE." Naegi said making a particularly round W shape with his hands.
"JIGGLE." Said Jiraiya making two slightly spaced apart U's
"WIGGLE."
"JIGGLE."
"WIGGLE."
"JIGGLE."
"WIGGLE."
"WIGGLE."
"JIGGLE... GODDAMMIT I MEANT WIGGLE." Jiraiya smirked seeing he was successful in his little trick.
"Whatever kid you know jiggles are better." This pissed Naegi off to no end and he was about to start yet another argument with even more gusto.
"Neither of you are going to be discussing anything if you don't shut up!" Naruko had enough of their perversions and decided to shut the two up with a glare with her hair flowing through the air in the background as if the Kyuubi itself was manifesting. It was successful in getting the two back on track with their discussion, Jiraiya having bad memories of Kushina being pissed while Naegi remembering the last guy to get her pissed ended up making a new boy shaped hole in the wall of the academy.
End note.
I'm definitely going to have Naegi and Hashirama fight against each other at least once during the making of this fanfiction. They must see whose wood is harder.
Jiraiya is one my favorite characters followed by Hinata, Naruto, and Kakashi.
Also their's currently a massive fangirl war in the academy with different factions for Lee, Naegi, Sasuke, and Naruko.
-Everybody of rookie nine is currently in a higher grade class than they were before. My explanation is that when two clanless kids show up and outclass everybody the elders of each Clan decide their children aren't working hard enough if some random orphans are doing better than them. Lee and most of rookie nine are in the same class with Neji. Hinata, Naegi, and Sasuke are above that. Naruko is above everyone else.
-Chuunin exam arc will still be in but will be different. Naegi will more than likely know most of the basic releases by then.
-Yes everybody being better in class will have an effect on the ninja world in general. Konoha's sudden gain in 'prodigy' ninja is going to make other countries take notice.
-They won't let Lee move up because of his chakra point problems and Konoha wants to be sure he will be safe.
-I'll definitely be having fun with Naruko traveling with Jiraiya. You'll see what I have planned for that.
-Hinata has mostly been ignored by the clan because she still doesn't act like a hyuuga and the fact she is practicing ninjustu. By the way she has a lightning affinity if your wondering.
-taijustu Lee Neji = Hinata mainly due to Lee having experience.
-Naegi naturally uses wood release so it's more potent than Yamato's diluted version.
-Sasuke and Naegi have a rivalry almost like Naruto's except two sided. This is mainly because Senju and Uchiha blood doesn't mix well.
-Jiraiya is holding onto the scroll for now.
I'll never understand why no fanfic understands that if a seemingly clanless kids or orphan is doing better than most clan kids that clans will just allow things to be the way they are. It's like this civilians for clans are the below averages especially orphans. If an orphan or civilian shows up and does better than everyone than the standards for clan training increase as well. If someone from a clan like Uchiha does well than it's okay because they are automatically labelled as geniuses.

Leave a review telling what everyone thinks and any ideas or feedback is appreciated.
Look up gender bent Minato that's a good idea of what Naruko looks like.
If your wondering what the list is think of other fourteen words of power.
Naegi relationship with Tsunade is that she is his grandaunt.
