Hey guys. 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. I will update when I can but I am a full time collage student, so sometimes it might take me a while. You will mostly see updates during weekends. I know the story progress is slow but I like it slow. Enjoy.

From now on I'll be using the name Naruto and Naru interchangeably so don't be to surprised by that.

Chapter 8

"There is a reason I have a door, you know Kakashi. Please use it from time to time." Jiji broke her out of her thoughts.

"I wouldn't be much of a shinobi if I used a door, now would I?" Kakashi retorted. He turned to her. "So your Naruto" he remarked, not looking very impressed with what he saw.

"So your my teacher." she retorted. Hiruzen head turned from teacher to pupil to teacher. He was getting a kick out watching their interaction with each other. He knew this was a good idea.

"Hmmm...I already don't like you. Meet me at training ground seven in one hour." He told her before jumping of the window. Naru turned to her jiji and raised her eyebrows at him.

"Really jiji, how come I'm stuck with him. I can learn on my own, I don't need a teacher." She asked sullenly, memories of her past experiences with him suddenly resurfacing.

"Now, now Naruto. You do need a teacher, and he's the best jonin there is." Jiji tried to calm her. After ineffectively glaring at him she gave in, "Fine, but don't blame me if he gets pranked."

\(^o^)/\(^.^)/\(^o^)/\(^.^)/\(^o^)/\(^.^)/\(^o^)/\(^.^)/\(^o^)/\(^.^)/\(^o^)/\(^.^)/\(^o^)/\(^.^)/

Naruto was leaning against one of the wooden beams of training ground seven. She looked around the training ground, and had a reminiscent smile on her face She had some good memories of this place. Naru knew she had some time to kill before Kakashi arrived, but she still arrived on time. She was hoping against all hope, that he would exactly be on time for their first meeting. No such luck. Naru, no matter old she was mentally, would always remain a kid at heart. She knew that Kakashi was perceptive, but would he really expect anything out of a five year old. She snickered, 'I can finally get my revenge on all the times he made a fool out of me.' She set out to work.

Kakashi was two hours late, but it didn't really bother him. 'Hopefully she already left, and I wont have to deal with her.' He thought. He took out his book, knowing that if Naruto was still waiting for him, he wouldn't get to enjoy his book without the old man finding out. He giggled at the pages of the book, it was a rare moment when he let his guard down. He was so busy giggling that he didn't notice the trip wire at his feet.

'Oh, o' he thought instantly going alert. A net came up to catch him, but he avoided it by jumping away. The second he landed, the floor beneath him caved in. He jumped again and landed next to the hole, where he tripped another wire. This time a huge log came swinging at him. He ducked and rolled away. He looked around alert for more traps. After looking around him for more traps, he looked up where he noticed a bucket falling. Before he knew it he was covered in red paint. Suddenly Kakashi heard laughter. Kakashi's eyes narrowed at the source. Naru came out of the bushes, holding her sides from laughter.

"Yo..ure..fa...ce..pr..i..ce...le...ss" Naru laughed. Even if she didn't get him with the taps, the face he made when he tripped the wires was hilarious and so was him covered in paint. She had finally gotten revenge, for all past suffering he had put her through. She had even gotten some really good pictures to use later as blackmail, life was looking up for her now. She sighed contently, paint would always be her favorite prank medium.

"Sometimes your immaturity amazes me, Kit. Though I have to say, the pictures will be useful in the future." Kurama tried to scold her but failed miserably for he was laughing along with her.

Kakashi didn't know how to react. He was stunned, amused, and infuriated. Stunned because he had fallen for a trap. Said trap had been set by a five year old, and had been pretty elaborate. Slightly amused because, even if he had been its target, he could see the hilarity of the situation. Infuriated because his limited edition book was covered in paint. Infuriated won out, no one touched his book.

"You!" He seethed while glaring dagger at the girl in front of him with his one eye.

Naruto made herself look as innocent as possible, and she succeeded for the most part if she said so herself. Her eyes were basically crying, "I didn't do anything. Look how cute and innocent I look" Kakashi didn't buy into it and continued to glare at her. Naru decided it was time to kick it up a notch, and use her ultimate move.

Kakashi stared at the girl in front of him. Her look was practically screaming innocent. Her head was tilted a little as she stared up at him. Her eyes were wide, sparkling, and pleading at the same time. She also had the slightest of pouts. 'Oh no.' Kakashi thought as realization dawned on him of what was happening a little to late. He was caught in the puppy dog eyes jutsu, a S level jutsu that had been forbidden by the first Hokage, for it could make its target do anything. No one, and he meant no one, could escape its grip. Once you were caught, you had no choice but to admit defeat. Kakashi silently cursed the girl in front of him, curse her for knowing that jutsu. He forgave her with a roll of his one uncovered eye. His hands formed a hand sign, and in a single poof he was clean again. Not a single trace of her prank left again.

'I got to get him to teach me that.' Naru thought as he led her to the three wooden beams, it could be very useful in getting rid of future prank evidence. She was still enjoying her victory over him. Kakashi leaned against one of the wooden beams, and said something very familiar to her.

"How about we start by introducing ourselves." He said while looking at her expectantly.

Naruto knew her answer by heart, "I'm Naruto Uzamaki, or Naru if you prefer. I like ramen and training. I dislike waiting 3 minutes for the ramen to cook, snakes, orange masks, and people who judge others without getting to know them. My hobbies are training and doing pranks. My dream for the future is to become the greatest shinobi ever bring peace to the world."

Kakashi sweet dropped. This girl had some pretty interesting answers. He pretty much expected her to talk about ramen from what he had heard about her, but he hadn't expected the other things. Snakes and orange masks? That was petty random, and he felt a killing intent no five year old should have as she said those words. Lots of kids dreamed of becoming the greatest but to dream of peace? Only some one who had seen death, suffering, and war could really dream of peace. In was incomprehensible for him to hear that from her and with such sincerity too. This girl was surprising him more and more.

He was brought out of his musing when he heard her ask, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" He gave her his standard answer to such a query. Plus he was still sulking a little from her earlier prank.

"Oh...me? My name is Kakashi Hatake. I have no desire to tell you about me likes and dislikes. Dreams for the future...? Well I have lots of hobbies..." Kakashi answered deadpan. Naru was irritated by his answer. Sure she had expected it, but it still pissed her off.

"Well anyway, lets get to training." Normally Kakashi would give the kids the Hokage sent his way a survival test. This way he could test their skills and than ultimately fail them, wiping his hands of useless kids who didn't understand the meaning of being of a shinobi nor teamwork. But this time he couldn't for multiple reasons. One, was he couldn't fall her. The Hokage would have his head if he did. Two was that he couldn't test her on teamwork, if she was the only was he was supposed to be teaching. Finally it would be pretty harsh of him to test her to hard, since she was just a kid. Instead he pulled out some square paper. "I want you to channel some of your chakara onto this paper. It will tell us what kind of chakara nature you have." Kakashi really didn't want to go into the details with the brat, it would be to much work. Instead he just showed her. After his paper crinkled up he explained, "If the paper crumples your chakara leans towards lightning. Based on what kind of chakara you have, you will get different results."

Naruto took the paper from him and channeled her chakara into it. The paper split into four pieces. One piece got wet, one turned to dust, another crinkled and the last caught on fire. Naruto grinned, she knew this would happen. After handling nature chakara after mastering the sage mode as well as molding and sharing her chakara with others, her chakara gained the ability to adapt to any type of chakara. She could easily use any kind of chakara now, without any difficulty. She had learned soon after the war, after she noticed that she was able to use fire and water jutsu without any problem. Naru had already basically mastered wind, fire, and earth. She was already half way decent with water and lightning but she wanted to expand on her skills, which is why she had asked for this training. It was the best way to train without making anyone suspicions of her abilities.

Kakashi meanwhile was having a mental breakdown. How...? What...? How...? He just couldn't wrap his head around what he had just seen. Apparently, Naruto had the ability to use any element she wanted. Jonin were only required to be able to use two and this girl could use five. He understood the wind and the water. Seeing as her father was a master of the wind element and her mother was a master of the water element. Heck, he could even explain the fire, as she had the nine tailed fox sealed within her. But all five elements? At such a young age she had mastered shadow clones, and now she was able to use any element she wished. Who on earth was she? He was interrupted from his line of questioning when he heard her talk.

"Did I do good, Kashi-sensei" She asked innocently, while tilting her head. Inside she was snickering, she had learned how to tell his expressions apart after studying him for years. Currently his seemingly expressionless face basically read dumfounded, seeing it she couldn't help but tease him. Man this felt good. Kakashi had been one of the only mentors that had still been alive after the war ended. He had subtlety guided her for years and helped her whenever she needed it. She had grown up to fast, but now she was able to relax and act like a kid again in front of him. It was a liberating feeling.

Kakashi was startled out of his thoughts, "Ya kid, you did good. You can use any element you want, so your kind of amazing infact. I'll teach you some element jutsu's tomorrow. Today I'm going to test your other skills.

For the next hour, Kakashi tested Naruto on her general shinobi knowledge, chakara control, taijutsu and ninjutsu. He asked her about genjutsu, but quickly learned that she had no talent in that area. After the test were done, he sent her home to relax. Naruto walked home grumbling, 'Why is he such a slave driver this time around.' Kakashi on the other hand went to share her results with the Hokage.

ideagetthe: Thanks for your feedback. If you noticed above I used the puppy eye jutsu above that you suggested, so thanks for the suggestion, she is going to use that on him a lot. Mostly to make this story lighter, I'm going to have Naru prank people a lot. especially Kakashi. Maybe i will add a running gag, but i'm not to good at those, so we shall see. For the physical aspect i can see where your coming from. I'll try to tune down her abilities a little, when shes still young. Thanks for the advice. But I got to say I have a four year old nephew, who can totally head but me in the stomach and he has. So it shouldn't be to hard for Naruto.

GiuliaZe: Thank you for all your feedback and compliments. I'm blushing right now. It means a lot to me that you have liked it so far. Naru is going to have multiple teachers, so while she will be kakashi apprentice in a way, she will also be the apprentice of others too. While I'm planning to make Naruto a lot more advanced than her fellow rookies, I'm going to try to keep the bonds she has with them the same, if not stronger. As for a pairing, im honestly not sure. If i do end up pairing her up with someone, it will not be a big part of the story but a minor point. One thing i want to get off right of the bat is that she will not end of with Sasuke. I know many like this pairing but for me their relationship is best described as non related siblings, rivals and friends. So sorry any SasNaru fans in advance. Thanks again for reviewing.

Futakomori: Just had a lot to say that's all. xP Once again thank you for your feedback,. It helps me a lot actually to see what parts people enjoy and what parts don't make a lot of sense. So having you tell makes me grow as an author. Anyway Im glad you liked the Hyuga scene, That part was surprisingly easy and fun to write. As for Kakashi, well i think that he cant help but show his pervyness side to Narute its in his nature. xD It wont be long till it comes out. I'm glad you had a lot to say, makes my day reading everything people have to say.
