Anyways, here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto. If I did, then Sasuke would be in chains in ANBU prison after Naruto kicked his ass at the VotE…

A few months had passed since Naruto had been pushed back into the Academy again, forced to repeat the year due to the unfairness of the instructors. This years teachers were two Chunin, one named Iruka and the other Mizuki. Iruka was hard, but fair to all of the students. Mizuki however, he had a grudge against Naruto and it was extremely prevalent. From continued insults to going all out with the weekly spars against the blonde, to which said blonde was holding back, it was clear that the man wanted to fail Naruto badly. 'Though, to think about it, this years class is looking to be legendary.' he thought to himself. It seemed like the clan heads had put all of their children into the Academy at the same time to guarantee that they would grow stronger and closer to each other. Shikamaru Nara, Choji Amichi, Ino Yamanaka, Kiba Inuzaka, Hinata Hyuuga, Shino Aburame, and Konoha's Golden child, Sasuke Uchiha were all in the same class. There were a few no name clan children there, such as Sakura Hanuro, but for the most part that was it. Naruto sighed as he sat in the back of the class, looking out the window behind his shaded eyes as Iruka droned on and on. All of this stuff he had already went over last year, so there was no real reason he should actually pay attent….

"NARUTO UZUMAKI! Are you paying attention?" came a voice, knocking the blonde out of his thoughts. "Not really Iruka-sensei." he answered truthfully. A few snickers were heard from the class as Iruka gained a tick mark on his forehead. "Alright everyone! Since your classmate isn't paying attention and you all think its funny, its time for a pop quiz!" Groans were heard from everyone and a few shot glares at the black clad boy, only to be met with faint growling. If there was one thing that the students feared, besides Iruka-sensei's temper when ignored, it was Naruto's anger. A few bullies had started to mess with Hinata because of her self confidence, or rather the lack of, Naruto had stepped in to stop it. When they started on him, a faint pulse was felt before the blonde's eyes began to glow faintly behind his glasses. The bullies, while slightly scared, had continued to get on Naruto's and Hinata's case before being laid out flat by the shorter child. After being sent to the hospital after the beating had ended, the student body had all silently agreed that Naruto was not to be messed with. The beatings had stopped when surprisingly Hinata had placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. It was like a switch had flipped for the boy, all of his anger had fled from his body and he felt at peace. Said peace was taken from him when Hinata had removed her hand and taken from his side by a few teachers, getting her away from the "demon child". Since then, Hinata had slowly begun to gain her confidence back with Naruto helping her along the way.

One by one, the students had filed to the front of the classroom, lining up in alphabetical order for their pop quiz. Iruka and Mizuki went down the line, telling them to Henge into someone at random and evaluating their performance. Naruto sighed, bored, as they slowly came to him. His mind wandered again, thinking about his teachings with Wrath and wondering what all the being was going to teach him tonight. Jerked out of his thoughts when Mizuki tapped him rather hard on his head, Naruto glared up at the teacher, growling faintly and letting his eyes glow faintly at the touch. Mizuki shook slightly at the sight in fear before overcoming it and told him harshly to Henge into the Sandiame. Executing a perfect illusion, Mizuki walked around the boy examining the technique. Not able to find anything wrong with it, Mizuki scowled and marked down the passing mark of the boy. He motioned to Naruto to drop the Henge, however the blonde did not. Frowning, Mizuki began to yell at the boy about his disobedience. Tuning the Chunin out, Naruto dropped his Henge and continued to ignore the man. After a few minutes of the man ranting at the boy, Naruto had enough and slightly lowered his glasses. Exposing an amethyst-colored eye, he glared at the taller man and sent a faint pulse of KI at him, stopping the raving in mid-word. The class shook slightly at the feeling as Naruto moved his glasses back into place and went back to ignoring everyone. What they didn't know was that Naruto was attempting to calm himself down after the first bout of glares sent his way over the quiz. Iruka watched the young blonde as he went through his breathing exercises. Once his temper had been pushed to an acceptable level, Naruto began to pay attention again.

"Now that that's over class, I wanted to remind you about the upcoming exam. This is the final one before you begin your lives as Genin for the Leaf, so I want everyone to do their best, alright?" Iruka said to the class as the quiz was finished. A few "Hai's" were heard from the class and they were dismissed for the day. Naruto calmly walked up to his seat and grabbed his katana before walking out of the class and up to the roof. He began to roof hop toward his home as he put his body on autopilot and began to talk to his tenant. 'So what all are we going over tonight, Wrath?' the boy asked.

"We will be continuing to go over chakra control and your swordplay. While both are high, they still have a ways to go before you can even think about them being considered perfected. Other than that, we will be working on your evasion skills with Anko and your speed." the Sin answered. Naruto nodded inwardly and sighed as he reached the Forest.

Screams of frustration were heard from training ground 44 as the sun began to set, casting an almost eerie shadow on the heavily guarded forest. However, due to the pitch of the screams, it was not a male voice but a woman's. A dark figure burst from the tree tops and sped quickly toward the village as a tan blur quickly followed. Anko, chasing after Naruto with kunai clutched in her hands, began to throw the knives at the fleeing blonde as he dodged them gracefully. She screamed once again in frustration as none of them hit the boy. Grabbing two handfuls, Anko reared back and threw all of them at Naruto, only for him to quickly spin in mid air and dodge all but two. The two that he didn't dodge he swiped in mid-flight and hurtled them back at the pursuing woman, startling her. Thinking quickly, Anko dropped her head and flared her trench coat to slow her down long enough to twirl and avoid getting hit. What she didn't take into consideration was while dodging the thrown objects, Naruto had quickly followed behind them. As she touched the ground, the feel of a cold piece of steel was felt at her throat as Naruto positioned himself directly behind her. "Looks like I win, Anko-san." he whispered into her ear as he angled his black katana more toward the front of her throat. Anko stood, frozen in sudden shock, before she came to her senses and faintly nodded. Seeing the nod, Naruto removed the blade from her person and sheathed it. The purple haired woman grinned widely as they both plopped to the ground exhausted.

"Well well well. Naru-chan has finally beaten me, huh? I'm proud of you gaki." she told him while punching him light on the shoulder. The blonde simply grunted in acknowledgement and sighed. Anko was the only one, beside Hinata, that he allowed to touch him at any time. Anyone else who tried tended to get their arms close to being ripped off violently. He shrugged and turned toward her. "You underestimated me, Anko-san. You would think that you of all people wouldn't do that." he said to her, a faint smile forming on his lips as he looked at her from over his glasses. She blushed faintly at this, realizing that he was correct. She brushed off the accusation with a chuckle and laid back. "I guess I did. But in all honesty, I couldn't hit you and you damn well know it. Speed training?" she asked him, receiving a nod in return. Looking up into the sky, Anko stood up and brushed herself off. "Well, kiddo, I gotta get going. My shift is coming up and I don't want to make Ibiki-kun angry with me. I'll catch you later." she told him, tossing a wave over her shoulder to the seated blonde. He nodded again and watched her bound off. "I am also proud of you, kit. Its not everyday that you beat the likes of her. But don't let that get to your head. We still have a lot of work to do." Wrath told him. Giving the Kitsune a mental nod, Naruto stood and sped off to his secret training ground. He didn't realize that the entire time, Anko and himself were being watched with hate filled eyes. 'Soon, you damn demon. Soon you and the snake whore will be dead and I will be more powerful than anyone in this stinking village.' the figure thought as they moved away quickly.
