Chapter 2

(Time skip: week later)

Naruto was running through the Forest of Death looking for his training spot so he can start working on a jutsu Kyuubi wanted him to learn. It was called the blood clone and Kyuubi said that it would help with keeping his training secret until Naruto was ready to reveal his true power. Entering the clearing that Naruto was looking for, he thought of Kyuubi's plan to hide his true abilities for the civilians.

(Flashback)

"Okay Naruto tomorrow I am going to have you create a new kind of clone. It will be stronger than the shadow clone and will have the same ability to transfer anything it learns to you but the difference is it will not dispel until it is wounded lethally. This clone is called a blood clone and we will be using it so I can train you during the day while the clone does what you normally would do or what we would want to make the civilian think you would usually do. The clone will also create your reputation as a trouble maker and a prankster. The clone will have half your strength and will generate its own chakra but about a tenth as quickly as you would, explain Kyuubi as Naruto listened intently. Kyuubi continued with her plan, "Once we make the clone it will pull pranks on the citizens on the Leaf Village that are mean to you. Then in two years when you can enter the Academy the clone will go in your place and pass the Academy for you so you can still learn everything that the academy has offer while you learn how to be an effective ninja from me," explain Kyuubi.

(Flashback End)

Naruto smirked at the thought of surprising everyone when he finally takes the graduation exam and blows everyone else out of the water. Clearing his head Naruto began running through hand seals, coming to a finish Naruto bit his thumb and gathered half of his chakra. Slamming his hand on the ground blood flowed from the bite mark and formed a red version of him, as the blood clone solidified it changed colors to match its creator. The process finally complete the clone saluted Naruto and ran off to start its mission of creating an alternate persona.

(With Blood-Clone Naruto)

Naruto was having a fun time. Since leaving the boss he had started to create the reputation of the village idiot and loudmouth. He also started to gather information on potential prank targets around the village. After that Naruto went home to start to draw up a battle plan for future pranks that he would pull.

(Hokage office)

Sarutobi was having an interesting day to say the least, after contacting his student Jiraiya and having him return to the village he asked Jiraiya to create a spy network within the Leaf Village so that he could better control the village. He also ordered the removal and replacement of the matrons at the orphanage in which Naruto used to live. But the most important thing that came out of Naruto's attack was what Sarutobi assigned Jiraiya to do.

(Flashback)

Sarutobi was sitting in his office attacking the bane of all kages, paperwork. As he started on a new document something landed on his window sill not even turning his head Sarutobi said a pleasant tone, "Jiraiya how good to see you."

Jiraiya said in a serious tone, "why is Naruto being attacked I thought you were protecting him?"

"Jiraiya you have to understand that I have tried to keep him safe but the people don't see a little boy but a demon in human flesh. If we are to help Naruto I mean to truly help him, we need to create a village that won't hinder him as much as the Leaf currently does," said a calm Sarutobi.

Speaking again Jiraiya said, "How can I help sensei?"

"I need you to expand your spy network to include the Leaf Village and more specifically I need you to look into the civilian council. I am tired of the barricades and road blocks they put up when I try to help the village. I want to know everything in the village that affects the village's operation. I need to know who is clean and who needs to be dealt with. This is a dictatorship it is about time I remind the civilian council of this fact," said a serious Sarutobi.

Nodding Jiraiya said, "Consider it done, it is about time you took control of the village and I would love to be the one responsible for putting some of the civilians behind bars."

"Alright then you are dismissed," said Sarutobi. Jiraiya shun-shined away leaving the Hokage alone once again.

(Flashback End)

Jiraiya enter the Hokage office snapping The Hokage out of his thoughts, "Report," said a serious Hokage.

"It is worse than we thought it seems that the civilian counsel has been selling village secrets to Iwa and the other nations for large sums of money. Everything from defense plans to the number of ninja we currently have," said a fuming Jiraiya.

Taking the folder from Jiraiya, Sarutobi looked over the contents finally speaking, "It appears they have also been taking money from the Village coffers and the Namikaze account," said a furious Hokage. Speaking loudly the Hokage said, "Anbu assemble the council it is time we deal with the corruption in the leaf village."

With that command the Anbu in the room shun shined away to complete their leader's orders. The Hokage and Jiraiya laughed evilly at the thought of the council meeting that was to take place.

An hour later the Hokage walked it the council room and sat down. Every council member looked at the man with interest wondering what he could want. The Hokage looked around before smiling and saying, "I called you all here to discuss the information I have received from Jiraiya. As it turns out many members of the civilian council have been selling information to Konoha's enemies."

The civilian council went into an uproar imminently at the accusation, before the Hokage saturated the air with chakra and killer intent.

The Hokage then continued by saying in a stone cold tone, "I have recently had a wakeup call and have realized that I have let my responsibilities slip in my old age but I intend to correct that."

At the end of his short speech Anbu appeared behind members of the civilian council and slit the throats of the members that were had committed acts of treason against Konoha. The Anbu then cleared the room of the dead before the Hokage looked to the ninja council and said, "I imagine that there are no objections to my actions."

The heads of the various ninja clans in Konoha remained quiet although there were a few members that were extremely glad to be rid of the civilian council.

Having not received a response the Hokage started to speak once again, "Well I am glad that my judgment is not being questioned here, but I have a message for the council as a whole, this village is a dictatorship not a democracy. The council has no power in deciding anything concerning the whole village, It is meant to be a way for the Hokage to stay in touch with the people he serves thus the council only has the privilege of suggesting policy and if you step out of line again I will gladly remind you why I am in charge."

The remaining people still alive in the civilian council nodded their heads furiously while the clan heads each gave a curt nod of understanding even though they understood this principle already and knew where the Hokage's powers ends and their began.

(Training Ground 44)

It had a month since Naruto had met Kyuubi and began his training. During this time Naruto's life had improved greatly. The civilians stopped harassing him and trying to beat him, they had also started to give him fair prices when he went to get supplies and food. While Naruto didn't understand the sudden change he was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Naruto was also very happy with his progress in the ninja arts. Kyuubi's training program consisted of Naruto spending the first half of his day working out his body with various exercises meant to target every muscle in his body to get him ready for the harsh life of a ninja. He then either sparred with Kyuubi or Itachi for the rest of the day or he would practice his taijutsu stances and katas. The training didn't end there though, at night Kyuubi would teach him history, math, science, chakra theory, fuuinjutsu formulas and strategy to make Naruto a well-rounded person and ninja. To be completely honest with training nonstop, Naruto was completely burned out but he realized he couldn't stop if he wanted to be the best.

He was currently learning the basics of three taijutsu styles. The first style he was learning was the leaping fox style, it was a style relying heavily on feints and speed to hit the enemy and disable them. The second style is called the spinning lotus; it is a highly defensive style that has the person sitting in a lotus position to start. The last style is called the power fist style is a very offensive style that relies on precise powerful hits to specific joints, pressure points and muscles to render those areas useless and cause mass damage to the body of the opponent. Each of these styles alone where deadly and extremely powerful once mastered. But even at the first tier of the styles, Naruto was already a taijutsu maverick being able to beat anyone his own age with ease. With time Naruto hoped he could combine the styles together to create a taijutsu form that would utterly destroy anyone that tried to beat it.

Naruto's training in ninjutsu was progressing incredibly. Naruto mastered the three academy jutsus in the second week of training. Although the academies clone jutsu was too low in chakra level for Naruto to do properly. He had also discovered that his henge was actually a lot stronger. He could actually transform into anything he wanted and it would be solid instead of an illusion. This according to Kyuubi could be very helpful in espionage missions and had a lot of potential in combat situations. Naruto had also started to ramp up his chakra control training, moving on to the tree walking exercise. Combining the tree walking exercise with the shadow clone jutsu increased Naruto's chakra control. Which had the benefits of refined his control over his massive chakra reserves and increased his reserves at the same time. Kyuubi also began Naruto on his elemental chakra training. Kyuubi had Naruto get chakra paper from a local store and had him test his affinities. While his Sharinnegan gave him an affinity for all the major elements he had a natural Affinity to wind and fire. After that Kyuubi had him start learning to control his wind nature by having him try to cut a leaf in half using only chakra.

Naruto and Kyuubi also found out through trial and error that Naruto had no ability or talent in casting a genjutsu without the use of his doujutsu. But his massive reserves allowed him to dispel almost any genjutsu. Kyuubi was trying to teach Naruto how to detect genjutsus. Itachi proved very helpful in this field putting Naruto in various genjutsus while they sparred to see if Naruto could break them while fighting. Itachi also taught him some genjutsus that he could cast with his Sharingan portion of his doujutsu.

The field in which Naruto was doing the best was fuuinjutsu. Kyuubi had Naruto read books on the subject before she even let him start to work on writing them. While Naruto usually hated to read he actually found anything related to fuunjutsu to extremely interesting, and gave Kyuubi no issues whenever she made him read more on the subject. Kyuubi suspected it was his Uzumaki blood showing though but after that Kyuubi had him read up in the subject, she started to show him the lowest level seals she knew and how to write them. This consisted mostly of storage seals and explosion seals. Naruto worked with a group of clones to learn the formulas that had to be written perfectly in order for them to work. Naruto also picked up some more low level seals from the books he read and started to practice them as he mastered others. Naruto had mastered so many lower level seals that Kyuubi started him on some of the more difficult material and had him work on combining the simpler seals together to create different results. Naruto was even selling the lower level seals he mastered to a local weapons shop that allowed him to be there. Naruto sold his seals under a henge alias which he named Arashi Uzumaki and was making a small fortune due to the popularity of the seals and the lack of competition. Surprisingly there was a lack of quality seal masters in the village. Naruto also became friends with the owner's daughter, Tenten she was a year older than him but they got along really well despite the age difference.

Naruto was also started to train with Chakra weights. An item Naruto found while looking around at the weapons shop. The weights basically worked by adding chakra to the bands around each limb which increased the weight of the bands until the person stops adding chakra. It was an incredible training technique but the weights where extremely expensive. If it wasn't for his seal sales he would have not been able to afford them of course in a few years Naruto should be able to make a pair for himself due to his rapid growth in the field of seals.

Naruto was walking towards his apartment after a harsh day of training. It was late and Naruto was enjoying the quiet of the night when Naruto began hearing shouting from the Hyuuga compound. Naruto looked toward the sound of the noise and saw a man dressed in all black running towards him, in the man's arm was a tied up Hyuuga girl. Acting instantly Naruto pulled out a kunai and through it at the kidnapper. The man easily blocked it and spoke up, "You will have to better than that to stop me kid."

Naruto to looked at him and said in an emotionless voice, "No I don't, all I had to do was distract you." With that Itachi appeared behind the man and gave him a swift chop to the neck knocking him unconscious. Naruto walked up to the man and applied a chakra restriction tag to the man's back while Itachi tied him up. Naruto then went over to the scared girl and began to untie her. Once she was free she grabbed on to Naruto and started crying, not soon after that the Hyuuga Hiashi arrived and took his daughter back to the compound, but before they left the girl walked up to Naruto and ask, "what is your name?"

Naruto said, "Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you."

The girl giggled and blushed a deep crimson before she said, "My name is Hinata and I am very grateful that you saved me from that evil man."

As Hinata was talking with Naruto, Hiashi turned to watch the exchange between the blond and his daughter and smiled. Hizashi then walked up and stood next to his brother and said, "Impressive for a boy so young to stand up to an elite level ninja."

Hiashi turned to his identical brother and said, "Yes it is and this is why I won't prevent Hinata from befriending the boy even if we both know what he contains. He might just be the person Hinata needs to push her to be better and to gain her confidence."

At this point Hinata had finished thanking Naruto and Itachi and went back to stand by her father. Hiashi then spoke up and addressed Naruto and Itachi, "I would like to thank you on behalf of the Hyuuga clan and if there is anything you ever need please don't hesitate to ask." With that Hirashi held his hand out to his daughter and Hinata grasped it before they turned around and walked back towards the Hyuuga compound.

Naruto smiled as he turns to deal with the man Itachi was currently picking up off the ground.

Blood-clone Naruto entered the classroom and looked around; he was early and decided to sit in the back so no one would bother him. Putting his head down he waited for his classmates to arrive. About thirty minutes later people began to tickle in and sit down. Naruto observed his class looking for anyone with potential as a friend but found many already tainted by their parents by the looks he was receiving. Naruto also noticed a lack of malice coming from the kids from the ninja families. The bell rang and the teacher walked in and began role call she went down the list coming to Naruto's name where she paused and looked at him with pure hatred and disgust. Naruto sighed and thought, "This is going to be a long four years."

At the end of the roll call Naruto looked around the room at the classmates he would have for the next four years and mused, "Wow there are a lot of clan heads in this class, I wonder why."

(Time skip: six months)

Naruto was lying on his couch reading a scroll on fire manipulation late at night, when a knock came from his front door. Having practices with his sensing abilities he had received from Kyuubi, Naruto detected Itachi-nii's chakra signature. Naruto stood up and walked over to the door. Opening the door Naruto said with a smile, "Hello Itachi, Why are you here so late at night?"

Itachi nodded his hello and walked inside before saying, "I am here to say goodbye and give you a couple of important scrolls before I leave on my long term mission."

Naruto jumped up and down at the thought of what kind of scrolls Itachi could be giving him. While Naruto was jumping Itachi took out two scrolls from his scroll pockets of his Jonin jacket and handed them to Naruto.

"One scroll will tell you everything that I currently now about the Sharingan and where you can learn more information. The other scroll contains the personal jutsu library of the Uchiha Clan. I believe you to be responsible enough to handle these gifts and hope you use them to protect and better the Village," said an even stoic Itachi

Naruto marveled at the two scrolls in his hand and looked up at Itachi before saying is a stunned voice, "Thank you."

Itachi looked at Naruto and said, "Your welcome Naruto I hope you use them to become a great and honorable ninja. Now with that done I must say my goodbye Naruto I am about to undertake a mission that will keep me away from the village for a very long time."

Naruto smiled at Itachi and said, "Alright then good luck and I hope you succeed in your mission, it was fun having you as my other sensei."

Itachi gave a nod before shun-shining away.

Itachi looked out over his clan's home and took a deep breath before activating his Mangekyō Sharingan and drawing his short sword. Looking down from his perch on an electric utility pole Itachi spotted his younger brother and appeared in a flash before him. Sasuke looked his older brother in the eye and notice his Sharingan was different. That was the last conscious thought Sasuke had before Itachi put him to sleep with his Mangekyō. In a quiet whisper Itachi said to no one in particular, "I am sorry." Itachi then turned to face the Uchiha guards that had moved on his position and said, "Today the scourge that is the Uchiha clan ends. Rushing at a level none of the guard had ever seen him move before Itachi slit all of their throats before appearing behind the group of ninja. After that Itachi went into a trance killing all the people that stood against him and the village. After he had hunted down all the traitors of the Leaf, Itachi ran to the limits of the village to escape the Anbu that had been sent to capture him.

From a distance Danzo, looked upon the Uchiha District watching Itachi kill his family and friends without mercy. Once Itachi began to leave Danzo looked to an Anbu to his right and said, "Kill the rest and Collect the Sharingan eyes. Sarutobi may be in control for now but my day is coming and I will need all the power I can get."

The Root Anbu nodded and said in a monotone voice, "Yes, lord Danzo."

Meanwhile Sarutobi looked on with sadness at his seeing orb to watch as one of his most loyal ninja flees the scene of his latest mission. Sarutobi did not want Itachi to be the one to kill his family, Itachi had volunteered as he thought it was the best way to stop the Uchiha clan from being disgraced as well as save the village from civil war. The Hokage had sent the Anbu as soon as he saw that Itachi had finished his assignment. After the Anbu left Sarutobi turn to look out over the village.

The Anbu arrived to see root ninja killing the rest of the Uchiha clan and engaged them to prevent from wiping the clan out. The Root Anbu disappeared at the arrival of the village Anbu leaving a bloody battle field in their wake. Men, women and children, ninja and civilian alike were dead on the ground dead. The Anbu proceeded to secure the area and dispatched a team to follow Itachi and another to follow the Root Anbu. The Anbu that were left to clean up the mess proceeded to check the bodies for any sign of life before making a pile of the dead in the center of the district. A bear masked Anbu came over the form of Sasuke Uchiha and checked for a plus, having already checked many bodies before this the Anbu was surprised to feel a pulse.

Instantly the Anbu called out, "I got a live one; it seems he is unconscious in some sort of genjutsu."

Another Anbu came over and said, "Bear why don't you bring him to the hospital for treatment we don't want the kid to wake up and see his entire family dead."

The Anbu known as bear picked the prone form of Sasuke up and jumped across the roof tops to the hospital.

Gecko the other Anbu turned back to the others and asked, "Have all the bodies been checked and collected."

Bird saluted her captain and said, "Yes sir, but it seems that the Root Anbu managed to take five sets of Sharingan eyes."

Gecko nodded and said, "Alright I will report this to the Hokage, finish up here and return to the base." Gecko shun-shined away leaving the remaining Anbu to burn the body of dead bodies.

Naruto was currently walking through the Uchiha district and shivered at the quietness of the once loud and busy home of the Uchiha clan. Naruto kept walking through the district on his way to the Naka Shrine. No one was in the district at the moment with Sasuke Uchiha currently at the Academy and no one willing to come to this part of the village anymore after the massacre of the Uchiha clan, Naruto had the place to himself. Naruto pulled out one of the scrolls Itachi had given him and examined it once again. The scroll contained the basic explanation of the first three stages of the Sharingan and what each stage gave him in terms of abilities. It even gave training methods to improve these abilities. But the last paragraph of the scroll told him that if he wanted to know more he had to go to the Naka shrine and fine the secret room. So Naruto had come to see what could possibly be hidden in the Naka Shrine.

Naruto arrived at the shrine and walked inside the sacred Uchiha building. He then proceeded to search the place to find the secret room talked about in the scroll Itachi had given him. After a half hour of searching Naruto found a trapdoor under one of the mats on the floor.

Naruto opened the door and descended into the dark. Naruto used fire manipulation to make a small flame appear in his hand. What Naruto then saw surprised him greatly the room was a shrine of some sort with a tablet on the altar. Naruto walked over to the tablet and picked it up to so what it said, but to Naruto all it showed was random lines and it made no sense. After examining it for a while and trying to discern why Itachi had sent him to find this Naruto had an idea, "What if it could only be read by an Uchiha or a person with their bloodline limit?" Naruto then activated his Sharinnegan and looked at it again and this time Naruto could read it clearly, in fact he could read the whole thing. Naruto then decided that he had stayed in this creepy place long enough. Naruto pulled out a storage scroll and stored the tablet in the scroll so he could read the whole thing later and see what he could learn from it.

(Time skip: three years)

Naruto was currently sitting in the middle of a clearing meditating when Naruto decide to visit Kyuubi in his mindscape. Naruto entered his mind and came to the familiar tunnels that make up his subconscious. Naruto began walking through his mind and eventually came to the end of the tunnel and it opened up to a green field that led into a forest. It had been some time ago but Naruto had managed to master his mindscape and could alter the scenes in it. Kyuubi had helped him do this for two reasons. One Kyuubi didn't have to live in a sewer anymore and if a Yamanaka ever tried to invade Naruto's mind, Naruto would be able to defend his mind from their prowling. Naruto crossed the field and walked into the forest to where Naruto had created house for Kyuubi. As Naruto walked through the forest he created he saw the wildlife he had created to fill the forest. Naruto came to a clearing in the forest and saw the house that Kyuubi was using. He walked up to the front door and walked inside without knocking. Once inside Naruto heard a faint moaning coming from Kyuubi's bedroom. Curiosity got the better of Naruto and he went to investigate. Naruto walked towards Kyuubi's room quietly and opened the door to Kyuubi's room very slowly as to not make any noise. The sight that Naruto saw before him caused his face to turn a deep shade of red. The sight before Naruto was a completely naked Kyuubi lying on her bed with her legs spread while Kyuubi massaged one of her breasts in one hand and she fingered herself with the other hand.

Naruto was in shock and frozen with a combination of fear from what Kyuubi would do when she notices him and interest of seeing a girl naked for the first time. All of a sudden Kyuubi climaxed and she screamed out, "Ow Naruto, don't stop."

Naruto instantly fainted from embarrassment and sexual overload. When Naruto's head hit the floor Kyuubi instantly had her head up looking for the source of the noise. Her eyes landed of the crumpled form of Naruto and her face turned a light shade of red at being caught by her container masturbating. Kyuubi grabbed a robe and put it on before she picked up Naruto and put him on her bed until he came too. Kyuubi lay down next to her container and most recently love interest and stroked his hair as he slept.

Naruto was out for an hour before he finally came too. Naruto's eyes fluttered opened and his eyes land on Kyuubi's face and he instantly started to blush again as the memories came back to him.

When Kyuubi saw his eyes open Kyuubi said in a sweet voice, "hey there sleepy head."

Naruto sat up at this and turned to her and said in an apologetic voice, "I am so sorry…"

Kyuubi put a finger to his lips and stopped him from talking and she started to talk, "Naruto you have nothing to be sorry for, I should have locked to door or something, plus I should have noticed when you entered your mindscape. But that is not really the point of the matter at the moment as I think it is time you learn about woman."

(Time skip: five months)

Naruto woke up and began getting ready for the day. He made a quick breakfast of eggs with ham bits cooked into it. As he was eating Kyuubi woke up and began to chat with Naruto in his head, "Are you ready for today Naruto?"

Naruto thought back, "You're the one who trained me for this day so I believe I am beyond ready to become a ninja."

Both laughed at that seeing as Naruto had changed a lot over the six years Kyuubi trained him. The once scrawny child was now replaced by a well-toned, quick-witted ninja. While he still retained his prankster attitude and hyper personality that came with a kid his age (12). But the most notable change would be today when he starts acting like himself instead of a stupid loser. One of the extreme changes that happened over the six years of training was the age in which Naruto appeared. Thanks to the Sharinnegan his physical age has increased rapidly and he appeared to be eighteen. He wasn't complaining since one of the benefits of this was he was many times stronger than any of his classmates and he could henge to look his actual age so it wasn't a problem.

Walking to his closet Naruto picked out of his wardrobe a black Anbu pants with orange and red flames on the bottom cuff of each leg. He also pulled out a black ninja jacket with Uzumaki Crest on the back. The kanji for fox was also written above the Uzumaki crest. Naruto smirked as he look at the new clothes, Thinking of the shock to the people in his class at his new look. Laughing at the thought of his old attire Naruto couldn't help but smile at the patrols of Anbu he had avoided in that monstrosity as training in stealth. Kyuubi thought that if Naruto could be stealthy in the kill me orange jumpsuit then it would be ten time easier in colors that actually blended. Naruto shook his head at the weird training and continued to get ready, attaching a kunai pouch and shuriken holster. Finishing getting dressed he walked out of his apartment think of what today meant. As he walked he realized it was graduation exam day and today is the day he finally shows some of his abilities and stopped acting like an idiot especially to a one Hyuuga Hinata who he knew had a crush on him. His clone only acted dense so he could keep up his act as the class idiot. Of course he suspected that his friends Shikamaru, Choji and Shino already knew that he was hiding something, if not all of them then Shikamaru definitely even if he never said anything about it. It amazed him sometimes how lazy Shikamaru could be. Naruto remembered the first time he met Shikamaru. Naruto met them when they entered the academy four years ago.

(Flashback)

Naruto was sitting alone on the swing in the school yard eating his lunch when a person walked over and asked he could sit with him. Naruto agreed instantly. This person turned out to be the Choji. Not soon after two more people walked up to the small group and start talking to Choji, A kid with a pineapple hairdo started speaking, "Hey Choji who is the guy with the blond hair.

Choji shook his head and said, "I don't know Shikamaru but he was kind enough to let me sit here."

Naruto Instantly spoke up and said, "My name is Naruto it is nice to meet you." The kid now known as Shikamaru spoke again saying, "My name is Shikamaru and the guy Next to me is Shino and you have already met Choji. So do you think we can sit here to eat, the rest of the yard is already divided up." Naruto nodded in confirmation and the two boys sat down. Shikamaru lay down and began to watch clouds. From that day on they became friends, playing and hanging out together.

(Flashback End)

Naruto smiled at the memory as he entered the Academy yard.

(Leaf Academy)

Walking into the classroom Naruto saw many of his classmates talking amongst themselves, excitement for the exam being the major topic of conversation. As he walked further into the room people began to notice his new attire. Kiba the loud mouth of the class stood up and point at Naruto saying, "Hey dobe, what is with the new clothes? Are you trying to impress the teacher or something?" Naruto ignored Kiba walking to an empty chair next to Hinata, Naruto spoke up and said, "Is it okay if I sit here."

Hinata nodded with a massive blush covering her face not trusting her voice at the moment. Sitting down next to Hinata, Naruto noticed Sasuke glaring at him. Kiba having been ignored stepped in front of Naruto and said, "I asked you a question loser and I expect an answer."

Naruto looked at Kiba and released some KI before saying, "You should learn your place mutt, don't demand something unless you are ready to back up what you are saying." Kiba was furious at being talked down to by the class clown. Kiba sent a punch at Naruto only to see that Naruto had moved. Naruto appeared behind Kiba and sent a quick chop to his neck rendering him unconscious. Kiba's body crumpled to the floor as Naruto turned to his friends to talking to Shikamaru as Choji ate his chips and Shino well Shino doesn't talk that much.

At this moment the banshee of the class Sakura decided to make herself known, "Hey Naruto stop trying to look cooler than Sasuke."

Naruto covered his ears and said, "Stop screaming you loud mouth banshee you are hurting my ears."

Sakura yelled back, "I do not talk that loud you loser."

With a resounding chorus the whole class said in unison, "Yes you do!"

Sakura went back to fawning over her crush as Naruto went back to talking with Shikamaru and Shino occasionally would put in his two cents when the topic was something that he found interesting.

Iruka and Mizuki eventually walked in and quieted the class. Iruka told one of the civilian raised students to wake Kiba. After Kiba was roused from his sleep, Iruka went into a long speech about the future and what becoming a ninja was all about. Mizuki then pass out the written exam and started the time. Naruto flipped over his test and noticed that he had a test meant for Chunin. Naruto examined the test and found a genjutsu on it; quickly dispelled the genjutsu with a discreet kai, Naruto began to fill out the test. As Naruto wrote down answers he noticed that Mizuki had not taken his eye off of him. Naruto began to wonder what Mizuki was up to. After the written exam Mizuki and Iruka brought everyone outside to test their throwing ability.

Kiba was up first and scored a seven out of ten. As Kiba walked by Naruto he said, "Beat that loser." Shino went next and Naruto, Choji and even Shikamaru cheered him on. Shino scored an eight out of ten. After a few unimportant people went Ino was up. She scored a six out of ten which didn't surprise Naruto due to her lack of training and fan girl attitude.

Hinata was next and as she passed Naruto he whispered, "Good luck."

Hinata blushed slightly and said a quick, "Thank you."

Hinata got an impressive nine out of ten. After Hinata was Choji and then Shikamaru both got a seven out of ten. After they went Sasuke stepped up to the line next and got a nine out of ten. Sakura got a six out of ten which again is not surprising. The rest of the class failed that portion of the exam with a five out of ten or worse. The last person to go was Naruto. Taking the ten kunai Naruto from Iruka, Naruto channeled some wind chakra into the weapons, Naruto then through them all at once. The weapons blurred and hit a tree behind the dummy target. Kiba seeing this laughed and said, "You missed completely you loser."

Naruto then looked at Kiba and said, "Why don't you go and take a closer look Kiba and you will see that I didn't miss. Iruka, Mizuki and Kiba walked closer and saw that there were ten holes in the dummy, each in an instant kill spot.

Kiba turned away from the target and said, "Lucky throw."

Mizuki looked at Naruto with pure rage but could do nothing but give him a perfect score. While Iruka was impressed by Naruto's accuracy, fortunately no one actually noticed that he used wind nature chakra.

The group then moved to the sparing fields for the taijutsu evaluation. Once everyone was gathered around the taijutsu fields when Iruka announced, "For the taijutsu portion we will be holding a boys and a girls tournament, this will allow you to showcase you strategy as well as your ability to fight hand to hand. The boy and girl winner of their respective tournaments will each receiving extra points on their exam."

After Iruka finished the students separated with the girls on one side and the boys on the other. Mizuki then paired of the boys and the girls' side and started the matches for the first round of the tournament. The two groups head to different fields and the first matches of the tournaments began.

The first round of spars went well with Hinata, Sakura and Ino winning their matches in the girls' tournament, although Naruto was rather surprised that Sakura managed to win her match seeing as she came from a civilian family and never actually trained. In the boys' tournament, Choji, Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Sasuke won their matches. When it was Naruto's turn for the first round Naruto was paired with some random civilian. Once the match began Naruto dropped into a perfect academy stance and his opponent charged him thinking that he was still the dead last of the class. Unfortunately for that student he never saw the attack that knocked him out coming as Naruto punched the kid right in the jaw knocking him out instantly.

The next round of the tournament was a bit more interesting for Naruto as he watched the match ups on the girls' side. The match-ups were Ino against some civilian girl that managed to make it past the first round and Hinata going against Sakura. Ino's spar was rather boring as Ino had the obvious advantage since she was raised by a ninja clan. But the Hinata vs. Sakura fight turned out to rather funny. Sakura walked on the field with a smug smile and said to Hinata, "You might as well give up now as I will win this match to prove to Sasuke that I am the best."

Hinata just looked at Sakura with a blank expression and said, "I really don't care for your love for that emo brat. I think you are actually quite pathetic to be chasing after him so much."

It was at this point that Sakura was fuming and said, "well who do you think is worth my time, the dead last, I mean that is who you like isn't it."

Hinata shaded her eyes with her hair and in a voice of controlled rage said, "Don't insult Naruto-kun."

Iruka started the match and Hinata dropped into a Gentle Fist stance and charged Sakura. Sakura never stood a chance as she was using a sloppy academy stance and was nowhere near Hinata's level due to her lack of training and Hinata's constant training from her father since she turned eight. In the span of ten second Hinata had closed every major chakra point on Sakura's body. After that Hinata straighten up and walked off the field while Iruka simply called the match and asked two civilian boys too carry Sakura to the infirmary. The boys' matches were definitely a decent show as it was Choji going against Kiba, Shikamaru going against Shino and Naruto going against Sasuke. Choji and Kiba put on a good show but Kiba came out on top due to his clans focus on taijutsu and Choji unable to use any of the jutsus that collaborate with his taijutsu. The next match was Shikamaru and Shino, it was a very slow match but anyone that knew anything about the two fighting would have been impressed with the level of strategy involved. But in the end Shikamaru forfeited because he thought it was too much of a bother to get around Shino's bugs. It was then Naruto's match and Naruto was looking forward to this as he got to put the Uchiha brat in his place. Walking into the ring Naruto fell into a perfect academy stance while Sasuke dropped into his family's style, the Interceptor. Mizuki Started the match and Sasuke charged Naruto. Naruto side stepped his punch and then grabbed it, flipping sasuke and throwing him into the ground. The air was push from Sasuke's lungs from the force of the impact. Naruto stood over Sasuke and said, "Not so tough now are you." Sasuke rolled to the side and stood up again attacking the blond. Naruto weaved and blocked every single attack Sasuke sent his way. Sasuke jumped back to catch his breath. Naruto then said in a voice that even the teachers didn't hear, "My turn teme." Naruto instantly blurred out of sight to everyone but the instructors. Naruto mercilessly destroyed the great Uchiha causing many of Sasuke's fan girls to yell at Naruto to stop. Once Sasuke fell unconscious Naruto stopped attacking and began to walk away, Mizuki called the match awarding Naruto the win and once again a perfect score. Sasuke was carried away by his fan girls as they fawned over him, all the while glaring at Naruto.

Sakura who had just returned from the Nurses office saw Naruto beat down the last loyal Uchiha and tried to punch Naruto for hurting her precious Sasuke-kun, but failed when Naruto caught the punch easily. Naruto looked at Sakura and said, "Sakura you are pathetic, try training instead of fawning over your crush."

The final round of the respective tournaments was rather fun for Naruto as he got to see Ino get her butt kicked by Hinata. But Naruto had the most fun in the final match of the boys' tournaments. Since there was three finalists in the boys' tournament Iruka decide a three way match would be appropriate. So Naruto, Shino and Kiba faced off on the sparring field as they waited for Iruka to begin the match. Iruka started the match and Naruto was instantly attacked be Shino and Kiba. Naruto smiled as he blocked both attacks and pushed them back.

Naruto called out and said, "I guess I am the guy that has a target on his back after my match with the Uchiha brat."

All Naruto received was the calm faces of indifference from the two other combatants. Once again the two double teamed Naruto again and tried to get inside his guard. But Naruto blocked both of them before he shifted into his Leaping Fox style and began to turn the tide of battle. Kiba and Shino were suddenly on the defensive as Naruto slammed them with hard hitting strikes. To Kiba and Shino it felt like stone was hitting them instead of fists. At this point Kiba and Shino were beginning to sweat as they felt their arms become numb due to Naruto's hard hitting strikes. Shino jumped back to get some distance and said, "I forfeit, Naruto is much stronger and skilled than me and I feel that he could have ended this a while ago if he felt like it."

Unfortunately for Kiba his pride would not let him to forfeit so he continued to fight alone. But Naruto decided that he had messed with Kiba enough and used his greater level of speed to get behind Kiba and deliver a fierce chop to the neck knocking Kiba out.

Iruka then called the match and declared Naruto the winner. Iruka then dismissed the class for a two hour recess so that he could correct the tests from earlier. As the students dispersed to eat lunch and relax.

Naruto walked up to Hinata and said, "Nice job winning the girls tournament and I liked the confident side of you in your match against Sakura. Well anyway just wanted to congratulate you and wish you luck before I go and take care of some things."

Hinata at this point had a full face blush and said in a soft voice, "Thank you Naruto, you were great too."

Naruto gave her a big smile and said, "Thanks Hinata," before he turned around and left the school grounds. Once off the grounds Naruto blurred through the village heading for the Hokage mansion.

Sarutobi was having a great day, not only was he finished with his paper work for the day but he was happy with the progress of the village, since he had retaken control of his village. With the information that Jiraiya had gathered Sarutobi had been able to get rid of many of the annoying members of the civilian council. With the ninja council on his side Sarutobi was able to reform much of the village. He had even fired his advisors realizing they were causing some issues, and that they were to set in the old ways to innovate and be effective advisors. But believing that they were still loyal to the village and wanting what was best for it he assigned them to the restructuring of the Academy curriculum. This change has allowed a stricter weed out process and is producing higher quality ninja. To fill the advisor position he had Jiraiya take the position which made sense due to Jiraiya's vast knowledge of the Elemental Nations. Sarutobi had even started an upgrade to the village walls to increase the detection radius of the barrier that surrounded the Leaf Village as well increase the number of ninja working for the Barrier corps. All and all he was happy with the progress but he still had work to do.

Just then Naruto barged into his office and said, "Hey jiji, how is life treating you."

The old Hokage chuckled at the blonds antics and said, "I am well Naruto, but why are you here?"

"I am here actually to discuss a possible security breach. Mizuki has been eyeing me lately and he smells of snakes," said a serious Naruto.

At this the Hokage became serious and said, "Naruto what do you think Mizuki is planning?"

"I believe he is trying to get me to fail, for what reason I don't know but I am here to ask you permission to fail on purpose to see what he is up to. The ninjutsu portion is next and I can fail the clone to see if what Mizuki will do," said Naruto

"That is fine, now I just need you perform the three academy jutsus and I will clear you to do it," said the Hokage.

Naruto then did the three Academy jutsus: henge, kawarimi and a clone but Naruto did the shadow clone.

The Hokage nodded in approval and handed Naruto a Leaf headband. "This will be a C rank mission. You are to investigate what Mizuki is doing and stop him," said a serious Hokage.

Saluting the Hokage, Naruto walked out of the office back to the Academy.

Naruto arrived back at the academy and saw everyone heading in for the final part of the exam. Walking into the Academy Naruto saw a line off people waiting outside the class room waiting for their turn. Naruto waited until it was his turn to enter the room. Once inside Iruka directed him to perform the academy jutsus. Naruto Started with the Henge. After henging into a perfect copy of Iruka, he then switched places with Mizuki. Dispelling the techniques Naruto then tried to perform a clone. Purposely overloading the technique Naruto produced a half dead clone with no color.

Iruka Then spoke up and said, "I am sorry Naruto you fail again."

Mizuki then said, "He did create a clone so why don't we pass him?"

Iruka turn to Mizuki saying, "The rules are clear he needs to do it correctly to pass."

With that Naruto let the room and went to wait on the swing in the school yard.

Not long after Mizuki came out of the Academy and walked up to Naruto. "Hey Naruto, I know how you can still pass. You need to perform the extra credit exam," said a cheerful Mizuki.

Feinting happiness Naruto asked, "What do I have to do to complete the extra credit exam."

Mizuki smirked and said, "All you have to do is take a special scroll from the Hokage's office and deliver it to me at this location without begin caught." Pointing to a location on a map Mizuki then tells Naruto what the scroll looks like and where in the office he can find it.

(Time Skip: Night)

Naruto ran along the rooftops of the Konoha heading for the Hokage mansion coming to a stop a few buildings away; Naruto watched the patrols guarding the mansion, looking for an opening where he could sneak past them into the Hokage's office. After an hour of sitting patiently, Naruto notice a thirty-second gap in the patrol rounds. Naruto sprinted to the Hokage office window. Reaching the window in a matter of seconds Naruto slowly opened the window and slipped inside. Waiting for him in the office was none other than the Hokage.

Wordlessly handing Naruto the forbidden scroll the Hokage then said, "You will need to knock me out to make this look convincing."

Naruto smile deviously and said, "Fine old man but you are going to enjoy this." Naruto went through a series of hand seals and said transform. Naruto was then engulfed a cloud of smoke. As the smoke was clearing the Hokage catch a glimpse of a hot young woman that was naked. The Hokage rocketed back and hit his head on the wall behind him which knocked him out. Naruto laughed and jumped out the window, once again avoiding the Anbu patrols. Naruto ran to the spot Mizuki told him about but arrived two hours early. Naruto sat down and opened up the Forbidden scroll. Naruto quickly started reading and after an hour Naruto decides to copy the scroll so he could learn the techniques inside later. Pulling out a blank scroll Naruto laid the Forbidden scroll next to the blank one. Naruto was about to start writing when Kyuubi spoke up in his mind, "Kit instead of writing it use this jutsu," a mental images of hand signs and the name of the jutsu went through his mind.

Naruto then went through the series of hand seals that he had seen and slammed a hand on each scroll and whispered, "Information Transfer Jutsu."

Writing appeared on the blank scroll creating a perfect copy of the Forbidden scroll. Naruto rolled both scrolls up and sealed his copy of the scroll into a storage seal inside his jacket. Naruto then gave a mental thanks to Kyuubi but he was a little annoyed because that technique would have been helpful several times in the past.

Not long after Naruto was done with that Iruka appeared in front on Naruto. Naruto looked up at Iruka and decide to play it off as what Mizuki told him to do.

Naruto said, "Iruka-sensei I did it I learned a jutsu from the scroll and passed the extra credit exam."

Iruka looked at Naruto like he had grown a second head and said, "Naruto there is no extra credit exam. Who told you that there was?"

Naruto responded cheerfully, "Mizuki-sensei told me about it."

Iruka heard clapping coming from behind him and he turned around to see Mizuki.

Mizuki decided to speak and said, "I am impressed you got the scroll demon I mean you are the dead last in the class, even if you did extremely well on most of the final test."

Looking towards Iruka he continued to speak while he unlatched a fuma shuriken from his back, "It is a shame that you had to get involved in this Iruka because now I have to kill both of you." Finishing his speech Mizuki hurled the shuriken at Naruto.

Iruka moved to protect Naruto, but at the same time and with a speed neither of the older ninja thought that an academy student could move. Naruto managed to catch the shuriken by the ring in the center and redirected it back at Mizuki. It was only due to his years of training that Mizuki was able to dodge to large shuriken as it flashed by him and imbedded its self in a tree behind him.

Iruka looked at Naruto amazed and said, "How did you do that it should be well above your training and rank to do that."

Naruto looked back at Iruka and said, "There are a lot of things you don't know about me Iruka."

Looking back to Mizuki Naruto spoke in a commanding voice, "Mizuki you are under arrest for treason against Konoha and are sentenced to death."

Mizuki look at Naruto amused and said, "Like an academy student could take me."

Naruto smirked and said, "You shouldn't underestimate your opponents, especially one that is a Jinchuriki to the Kyuubi no yoko."

Both Mizuki and Iruka stared at him in shock while a single thought ran through both of their heads, "How does he know about that?"

Mizuki decided to voice his thought and said, "How do you know about that brat it is against the law to tell you about it?"

Naruto looked at Mizuki and said, "Easy I meet the demon you are oh so afraid of and it explained to me what happened."

Mizuki stared blankly before a thought ran through his mind, "Shit that was meant to unbalance him so it would be easier to kill him."

Naruto made a hand sign while Mizuki was distracted shouted Multi-shadow clone jutsu. Thousands of clones appeared in the clearing and once again Mizuki and Iruka shared a similar thought, "Holy crap."

Naruto stepped forward and said, "Let's have some fun." All the clones jumped forward and proceeded to beat Mizuki within an inch of his life.

Once Mizuki was completely incapacitated, Naruto walked up to Mizuki's form and lifted him up to so he was looking directly into his eyes. Naruto then activated his doujutsu and said, "I hope you rot in jail for your crimes," Naruto then proceeded to rip Mizuki's soul from his body and absorbed all the information Mizuki had gathered in his life. Naruto then tossed the soul behind him, where the ghostly figure of the Shinigami was waiting for his prize. Naruto then turned to a scared Iruka.

Naruto smile sheepishly and said, "So how is it that you keep finding me, I mean I can avoid Anbu yet you find me like it is nothing."

Getting a hold of himself after seeing it was the same old Naruto, Iruka decide to answer his question and said, "I invented a jutsu that lets me use my chakra as sonar. Once you are good with the jutsu you can find people easily."

Naruto looked at Iruka and asked, "Could you please teach me the technique."

Iruka laughed and said, "You were always a fan of jutsu and technically you are not my problem to find any more so I guess you can learn it. So here take this scroll it explains the jutsu and tells you how to do it. I was planning on giving it to you as a gift when graduated"

Naruto nodded his head in thanks and said, "Well I better get back to Jiji with the forbidden scroll or I am dead. Iruka laughed and said, "You should get going and report what happened to the Hokage."

Naruto nodded and shun-shined out of the clearing, which once again shocked Iruka due to the high level of chakra needed to perform the technique.

(Hokage Office)

The Hokage sat in his office looking into his crystal ball until he saw Naruto leave the clearing and appear in his office.

Looking up he said, "Hello my boy I see thing went well but I have to ask, how you managed to beat a Chunin ranked ninja?"

Naruto sighed and said, "This will involve a lot of highly classified information, so you should clear the room."

The Hokage simply snapped his fingers and Naruto felt the Anbu leave and a privacy seal go into place. Naruto spoke once again and said you might want to get comfortable this is going to take a while.

(Time Skip: Two Hours)

"So let me get this straight you have trained for the last six years under the most powerful and feared demon in the world at the moment, but said demon is friends with you and a girl, and you have an extremely powerful doujutsu that makes the Sharingan look like child's play partially because it is a combination of the Sharingan and the Rinnegan. But to put the cherry on top of it all you managed to keep it secret this whole time with the only exceptions being Itachi your ex-sensei, Iruka and me," said the Hokage as he rubbed his temples.

Naruto nodded his head and said, "That the gist of it."

The Hokage looked seriously at Naruto and said, "Exactly how powerful are you Naruto."

Naruto shrugged and said, "Don't now I have never tested my strength to its limits so I can't honestly tell you, but I am not a jonin yet in strength since Itachi could beat me with ease, but I have control over most of the abilities granted to me from my doujutsu."

The Hokage nodded and said, "Alright Naruto let's move on the next topic of conversation because you see as it is now, your graduating class has twenty-eight students that are being made Genin. So I have decided to make you a one man team and your sensei will be Anko Mitarashi. I am doing this for a few reasons; one reason being you are leagues ahead of anyone in your class with your recent fight just pushing the point home; the other reason is you have learned the shadow clone jutsu which makes you a one man wrecking crew. The purpose of your team will be an assassination team and back up for any of the other Genin teams as well as take on missions that are out of most genin ability but chunin are too high to handle. That said I want you to be at team placement tomorrow to meet you sensei."

Naruto responded, "Okay Jiji I will be there tomorrow"

The Hokage smiled and said, "Then you are dismissed."

As Naruto turned to leave the room a kid burst in through the door and proceeded to say, "I am here to take that hat from you old man."

Sarutobi sighed, put a hand on his face and said, "Konohamaru what are you doing?"

Konohamaru lunged forward in an attempt to attack the Hokage and he stepped on his scarf causing him to trip.

Konohamaru full to the floor and got up quickly saying, "Who did that?"

He looked at Naruto who had been watching this incident with amusement and said, "Did you trip me, you did it didn't you?"

Naruto laughed at the kid in front of him and said, "I didn't have to do anything you tripped on you own scarf, besides if you want to take the hat from the old man then you will have to work very hard."

Konohamaru became angry and said, "Liar I know it was you who tripped me."

Naruto hit Konohamaru on the side of the head and said, "Shut up brat and listen, you tripped on your own scarf and even if you didn't you wouldn't stand a chance against the Hokage he has more experience and skill than you can ever dream. If you want to one day take that from him you better train and become the best ninja in the village."

With that Naruto finished and walked out right as Ebisu walked in and started to apologize to the Hokage for the interruption. Konohamaru could only stand there with a blank face as he thought about what the ninja he had just met had said to him.
