Hey Everyone. This is my first Fanfiction, so please be gentle with me. I would really appreciate it if you R&R. Constructive criticism is always welcomed. I'm also looking for a beta reader, for I can't spell for my life. There will be some spoilers, you have been warned. Also some of the story won't match up will the manga or anime, so please excuse that. I will update when I can but I am a full time collage student, so sometimes it might take me a while. I know the story progress is slow but I like it slow. Now enjoy!

Thank you Zarek09, , lildevil95, oakphoenix, Gabyy3, HjLostDreams, Mitobu, Scarlet Clown, SinfulOne, Thunder Claw03, Trucina for fol/fav this story. It means a lot to me.

Chapter 5

Naruto was a bit ashamed to say that she would be coping someone elses technique. But in her mind there was no better way to introduce yourself with a bang. Naruto was actually a month late in entering the academy, for the academy wouldn't accept her until the Hokage got involved. So all the other kids had already met, plus she was actually younger than them all by two years. Normally you had to be seven to enter the academy, but after pleading with Jiji for days on end he relented. She would make him proud. Naruto was determined to leave a lasting impression. When the Derma Sensei, someone who had made Naruto experience at the academy hell, announced to the class that there would be another student joining them, Naruto set forth her plan. She through a smoke bomb in from of the class.

The rest of Naruto's class were startled. When the smoke subsided, they saw a small girl standing in front of the class with a huge grin on her face. They had never seen someone who looked like before. She had three distinctive characteristics. She had her golden blond hair tied up in a tiny ponytail, the brightest blue eyes, and three scars that looked like whiskers on each side of her face. All in all she was a pretty cute kid. But this wasn't what started them, behind her was a banner hanging from the ceiling, supported by two kunias. The sign read in big, bold, letters: NARUTO UZUMAKI.

"Hey, I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'll be the greatest shinobi who ever lived. Believe it!" She announced to the class and through another kunia above them. Everyone's eyes followed the kunia. It hit a large balloon high in the ceiling that wasn't there yesterday. As the balloon popped, confetti fell on top of all the kids. Everyone in the class had there mouth open stunned, except for the girl in front of the class who was making a piece sign. They all had various different thoughts.

'Hmm...How troublesome.'

'That was so cool. But I could have done better. This confetti is making Akamaru sneeze'

'She seems nice. Ah! The confetti is getting in my food.'

'...My insects are being agitated. Interesting.'

'She's so brave.'

'Who is this random little girl and why is she so good with throwing kunais. Hmm, it doesn't matter I'm still better than her.'

'Why is Sasuke staring at her. She better not try to get close to him, like ino-pig'

'Why is Sasuke staring at her. She better not try to get close to him, like big forehead.'

"Nice going gaki, you just proved yourself as the number one hyperactive, knucklehead ninja again. You dobe, they all think that your in idiot now. Not that they would be wrong. Nice first impression" Kurama snickered.

"Shut up Kurama, they think I'm cool and you know it." Naruto defended herself.

"What ever you say Gaki." Kurama couldn't help but laugh again. Naruto ignored him in favor of absorbing the image of her friends. She had missed this innocent and happy side of them. The faces of kids, who hadn't face many hardships yet. She couldn't help but feel great joy. She continued on talking before the the idiot sensei could get a hold of himself.

"If you want you can call me Naruto or Naru if you prefer. I love ramen and training. My dream is to surpass all the Hokages someday and bring peace to the world. Believe it!" Before she could say anything more, the teacher started to glare at her.

"That's enough out of you kid. Sit in the empty seat over there and you will stay after class to clean up this mess." He scolded her. "Listen up kids, this girl is what a failure looks like, so don't become like her. Better yet don't associate yourself with her." Durma sensei looked at her in disgust. Naruto started to tune him out, after years of practice it became second nature to her. When she sat in the empty seat she noticed that she was sitting next to Shikamaru. On his other side was Choji and to her right was Sasuke and next to him was Kiba. In front of Kiba and Sasuke were Ino and Sakura. In front of him was Shino and next to him was Hinata. It looked like they were all together again minus Neji, Lee and Tenten. 'This was going to be fun' Naruto thought.

One random kid raised his hand "Um Durma Sensei what does associate mean" he asked. Naruto couldn't help but snicker quietly. Durma's face went red at having his lecture on the evils of the devil brat interrupted. Durma stuttered while trying to answer the kids question, while the rookie nine mostly ignored him.

"Hey, the names Kiba and this guy here is Akamaru. How'de you do that." Kiba asked. The rest of the rookie nine turned there heads, wanting to the answer too.

"Heh, I just rigged that balloon up last night." Naruto explained. "I'm also pretty good at throwing kunais, I can help you guys train if you want. She grinned, hoping they would take the bait.

"Keh, sure why not." Kiba responded. That's one.

"Troublesome." He hadn't refused. Two down.

"..." Three

"umm..I..would..like...that." Four

"Are you bringing any snacks" Five

"As if a nobody could ever beat me. I'll beat the arrogance out of you." Six

"If Sasuke is going than I'm going." Two voices spoke simultaneously. That made seven and eight.

'Man that was easier than I expected.' Naruto scratched her head while laughing. Choji than introduced everyone to her. The teacher was glaring at them. No doubt planning her punishment. Suddenly Naruto started to hear some other kids talk about her.

"My mom told me to stay away from." Whispered one girl to another.

"Ya, my dad said the same thing. Saying that girl was nothing but trouble and not to get involved with her." Whispered another boy.

"My mom said that she was a monster." Whispered someone else. Naruto was determined to ignore them all. The rest of the Rookie nine immediately looked away from her. She saw the second realization came over them. The only person who didn't react was Shikamaru, who had probably already realized who she was. She didn't blame them from looking away. All of their families either contained civilians or family members who had lost their lives during the Nine-tailed foxes attack. Their families couldn't help but hold a little resentment against her and they had no doubt passed some of that down to their kids. While they didn't know why their parents resented Naruto, they were all told to stay away from her. Even though she understated, Naruto couldn't help but feel hurt that her friends were rejecting her. Granted that they didn't know that she was their friend yet. Naruto wouldn't let this keep her down. She would find a way to get close to them. When class was over and Naruto finished cleaning up the mess, she headed to the Hokage office. He had told her to meet him after her class, and she wanted to talk to him about something anyway.

Gabyy3. Thank you for taking the time to review. I feel the same way when I see someone foll/fav my story. It really does make me want to write more, and gives me more motivation. So I felt that i really needed to thank everyone who did do that. I think I will eventually make the prologue longer, its just that when i first started writing it, I didn't want to give to much away on how she ended up in the past. I'm kind of stuck on what to say there. English is also not my first language and the only reason why there's not many misspelled words or grammar mistakes, is because of the miracle that is known as spell check. I'm happy that you enjoyed reading so far.
