A/N: Hey! Here I am with a new chapter for you. Normally I would have updated a little bit later since I have another story, but because of the reveiws I had, I decided it would be best to update this again. So hope you enjoy it.
Anyways
ENJOY!(Even though I said that I hoped that you would enjoy it, I'm just saying enjoy because of habit)
Naruto was currently helping his teacher Iruka walk while two of his clones were carrying Mizuki, while the silver-haired chunin was a traitor, that didn't mean that Naruto was just going to leave him to bleed to death. Iruka had explained to him that they needed to take Mizuki to the Hokage so they could question him, wherever he had any fellow traitors with him.
Iruka was currently staring at the forbidden scroll which Naruto was currently carrying on his back, he still couldn't believe that Naruto had learned a jutsu from it and also used it effectively to beat Mizuki without any trouble. Iruka looked at the unconscious Mizuki who was being carried by the clones and winced when he saw the 'X' shaped cut that was on his chest. Iruka knew that it would leave a physical and emotional scar on Mizuki, reminding him of how the so called 'Dead Last' and 'Demon Brat' had made that perfectly shaped cut.
A question then entered Iruka's mind and he didn't hesitate to ask Naruto about it
''Naruto, When did you become so fast?'' said person looked at Iruka and grinned
''I have been training a lot Iruka-sensei, I just wanted to surprise you dattebayo!'' the blonde's voice was a little louder than necessary but Iruka instead of wincing from the volume just laughed at little bit
''I guess you really are Konoha's most unpredictable ninja'' said Iruka jokingly
''Damm straight!'' the blonde then continued walking with serious expression on his face, which confused Iruka ''Iruka-sensei... am I really the Demon Fox?'' Iruka stiffened slightly, he had completely forgotten of that little detail. He had been so impressed with Naruto's performance that he had forgotten that the blonde knew about the Kyubi
''Naruto... It's true that you have the Kyubi sealed inside of you but that doesn't make you the fox'' said Iruka with a soft look in his eyes ''You are Naruto and the Fox is the Fox, there is a huge difference'' Naruto nodded and smiled at Iruka, showing that he understood. Iruka noticed that Naruto was still a bit more quiet than usual, but it wasn't because of doubt. Iruka smiled a little, it seemed that this incident also helped Naruto mature a bit.
Once Naruto had arrived with Iruka and Mizuki to the village, he was stopped by a couple of jounin, luckly Iruka managed to convince them that Naruto wasn't at fault and that Mizuki was the one that tricked Naruto into stealing the scroll. The two jounin had only nodded and jumped away to inform the other shinobi.
''Iruka-sensei, where do we leave Mizuki-teme?'' asked Naruto
''We've got to bring him with us to the Hokage'' said Iruka ''Naruto you can let me go. I think I can walk now'' the blonde nodded and did as Iruka said, the scarred chunin then grabbed Mizuki from the Naruto clones and carried him on his back ''Let's go see Hokage-sama'' Naruto nodded as his clones dispelled themselves and then both ninja jumped from rooftop to rooftop.
When Naruto and Iruka arrived to the Hokage Tower, the former started to feel nervous. He was sure that he'd caused quite some trouble, he had been beating himself over the fact that it didn't seem strange to him when Mizuki approached him for this 'secret test'. For some reason the blonde had been so desperate that the though 'It's too good to be true' never entered his mind at any moment.
When both Iruka and Naruto arrived at the Hokage's Office, they were greeted by Hiruzen who was looking at them with a serious face. Iruka was about to speak up but Hiruzen lifted his hand to silence him, Naruto was slightly intimidated by this since he was so used to seeing Hiruzen as a kind person, he had never seen this side of him.
''It's ok Iruka, I just want to speak to Naruto'' said Hiruzen calmly ''Naruto can you tell me why you stole the scroll?''
''Mizuki said that there was a 'secret test' to pass the graduation exam'' said Naruto ''He said that if I retrieved the forbidden scroll and then learned a jutsu from it then I would pass and become a genin'' Hiruzen's face hardened as he looked at Mizuki who was still on Iruka's back ''Am I in trouble Jiji?'' Hiruzen looked back at Naruto and his gaze softened
''Don't worry Naruto'' said Hiruzen much to the blonde's relief ''Mizuki was your teacher and you were supposed to trust him no matter what. Mizuki is the one who's going to be punished for this'' when Hiruzen finished speaking an ANBU appeared in the room, the ANBU had long purple hair and was wearing a mask that hid his or her features
''Take him to Ibiki'' said Hiruzen, the ANBU nodded and took Mizuki from Iruka's back and disappeared in a swirl of leaves
''Here is the scroll Jiji'' said Naruto as he walked up to Hiruzen and gave him the forbidden scroll, Hiruzen took the scroll with a smile ''Naruto I think I know how to reward you''
''Reward me?'' asked Naruto with an expression that screamed 'Are you crazy?'
''I saw everything that happened at the wood through my crystal ball and saw how you defeated Mizuki a chunin level ninja, although a fairly weak one'' said Hiruzen
''What are you going to give me?'' asked Naruto in excitement as Hiruzen got a gleam in his eye.
The next day was literally a breath of fresh air for Naruto. He had a week until he had to go to the academy for ninja orientation so he literally he had a week to rest from all that trouble that he went through last night. When Naruto got up of bed, he just dressed up in his orange jumpsuit (Iruka was still not capable of convincing him of wearing something else) and this time he put on his new ninja headband
Wait... ninja headband?
Yep, the Hokage had decided to let Naruto become a ninja since he had basically learned a the Shadow Clone Jutsu (Which was a more advanced form of the clone jutsu that made him fail in Ninjutsu), a B-rank jutsu that normally only jounin were capable of pulling off successfully
Today Naruto only needed to go take his ninja registration picture and then talk to the Hokage so he could go train with his katana again. The blonde smiled as he remembered the expression on Iruka's face when he defeated Mizuki. It was so funny to the blonde that it made holding back at the academy totally worth it.
Naruto was sitting in the Hokage's Office looking at Hiruzen with a poker face. Hiruzen, on the other hand was looking at Naruto with a twitching eye. The old leader was looking at some documents on his hands that were Naruto's. But it wasn't the information that made Hiruzen's eye twitch. It was the photo
It was Naruto but his white make up on his face and his hands to the point that he barely resembled himself.
''Take it again...'' that made Naruto's poker face break
''WHAT?!'' the blonde yelled in outrage ''I TRIED MY BEST THERE!''
''Which is why you're taking the picture again'' said Hiruzen firmly ''You can barely tell who the person is. Do you want your future sensei to see THIS'' Naruto pouted before a sly grin came to his face as he made a hand seal. Hiruzen didn't like the look in Naruto's eyes
''Sexy Jutsu!'' In a puff of smoke, Naruto was no longer Naruto, but instead a blonde pigtailed girl who had only smoke covering her chest and private area. Hiruzen remained stoic for a few seconds before the 'girl' decided to speak ''Hokage-sama please don't make me do it again'' 'she' said with a finger on her lower lip and a vulnerable look on 'her' eyes
Hiruzen's willpower broke in that very moment as he got nosebleed so powerful that he ended falling on his back. The blond 'girl' giggled a bit before disappearing in a puff of smoke only to be replaced by a laughing Naruto
''Are you sure you don't want to give me that hat Jiji?'' asked Naruto not being able of controlling his laughter
''STOP WITH THE CHILDISH TRICKS!'' Hiruzen yelled at the laughing Naruto who wasn't paying attention. Naruto was a freaking shinobi now and yet he was still treating this like a game.
''I'VE GOT YOU THIS TIME JIJI!'' shouted a little kid as he entered the office with a wooden ninja star in hand. If it wasn't because the ninja start was made of wood or who the person was then Hiruzen would have reacted to the words that the child said ''I'M GOING TO BE HOKAGE NOW!'' the kid seemed to be wearing some sort of round helmet and a long blue scarf
Maybe too long...
The kid tripped on his own scarf and fell on his face to the floor, Naruto wanted to laught at the kid but he was out of breath.
'My grandson... another headache' thought Hiruzen as he saw his grandson getting up
''Aw... who tripped me?'' the kid looked around and found Naruto, the moment the kid saw him he glared at the blond and pointed at him ''It was you! You tripped me!'' Naruto immediately got ticked off and grabbed the kid by the shirt
''YOU TRIPPED ON YOU'RE OWN SCARF IDIOT!'' Naruto yelled at the kid with a thick mark on his forehead to show his irritation. Naruto would have said more if he had no been suddenly interrupted by a man in a jounin outfit (without the typical jacket)
''Honorable Grandson! Where are you?'' the man's eyes were completely covered by round sunglasses so when the man saw Naruto, said blonde wasn't capable of seeing the man's eyes narrowing ''YOU! Leave the Honorable Grandson alone! He's Hokage-sama's grandson!'' Naruto looked at the kid he was lifting
''Huh? This brat is Jiji's grandson'' Naruto looked at the kid with an expression of disbelief
''What aren't you going to punch me?'' asked the kid ''Are you scared that the Hokage is my grandfather?'' Naruto's expression turned to one of so much rage that it was comical. Hiruzen chuckled at his grandson's foolishness
'Konohamaru... you will have to learn the hard way'
''I DON'T CARE IF HE'S YOUR GRANDMOTHER! YOU'RE NOT HIM! YOU'RE ONLY A BRAT!'' said Naruto before delivering a punch to the top of Konohamaru's head much to the kid and to the man with the sunglasses's shock
'This guy... he's totally different from the rest' thought Konohamaru in realization
''Honorable grandson!'' the man with the sunglasses checked on Konohamaru and then looked at Naruto with anger ''How dare you!''
''Whatever'' said Naruto dismissing the man as he walked out of the office
''That brat!''
''Calm down Ebisu...'' said Hiruzen
''I apologize Hokage-sama'' the man now known as Ebisu bowed to Hiruzen before he noticed a detail. Konohamaru was gone. Ebisu was shocked since he didn't even noticed when the Hokage's grandson had disappeared. ''Where is he? Where is the Honorable Grandson?'' Ebisu was close to panicking
''I think he went after Naruto but I have no idea where'' said Hiruzen without much worry. He thought that Naruto could maybe serve as a good influence to the child
''He went after Naruto!'' Ebisu's expression was now borderline comical and over the top ''That brat is going to be a bad influence!'' Ebisu stated ''Here I come honorable grandson!'' Ebisu ran out of the office with the resolve to find Konohamaru and Naruto.
Hiruzen would have laughed until he suddenly realized something. If Konohamaru went with Naruto, then Naruto could teach that stupid 'Sexy Jutsu' and then Konohamaru would go after him with that jutsu. In other words Konohamaru would be able to 'beat' Hiruzen. In that moment Hiruzen swore in frustation.
Naruto was getting quite irritated. When he had left the Hokage's office he thought he had heard something and when he had looked back he wasn't surprised to find Konohamaru trying to hide himself using of the academy's basic invisibility cloaks. This normally could have fooled him or make him stare in confusion but Konohamaru wasn't using the cloak correctly since his feet were sticking out along with his fingers
The blond walked out of the building a decided that eventually the Hokage's grandson would get bored and leave. He figured that he was just curious about him since he pretty much hit him over the head (Something that seemed rare judging by the expression the kid had on his face when Naruto punched him)
Unfortunately the kid seemed to have much more in common with Naruto that he thought and that reflected in Konohamaru's stubbornness. Eventually Naruto's patience practically evaporated as the blonde looked back and saw that Konohamaru was again using that cloak of invisibility.
''You know... Even a freaking untrained civilian could figure out you're there!'' the kid seemed to fail completely when it came to using the invisibility cloak. He always covered himself only partially and failed to blend in with the environment around him. To think that the kid thought that he would be fooled by such poor use of the cloak was downright insulting.
To the blonde's annoyance the kid just ignored him
'It's so pathetic' thought Naruto with his right eye twitching madly. Konohamaru then dropped the cloak and looked at Naruto with something that seemed like a pleased smile.
''So the rumors I heard are true... you're strong'' said Konohamaru, it seemed that he didn't understand when Naruto said that even untrained civilians would be able to spot him ''I demand you to teach me that jutsu you used to bear Jiji'' the kid was now pointing at Naruto with a victorious tone. The blonde blinked before turning around and walking away
''No'' responded the young ninja causing Konohamaru expression to shift from victorious to downright comical
''WHAT?!'' yelled Konohamaru ''WHY?!''
''I have better things to do'' said Naruto, and he wasn't lying either, he wanted to train already! Was that to much to ask?
''Come on!'' Konohmaru said as he ran until he was in front of the blonde with his palm together, the kid was literally begging now ''I promise I will learn. Please Boss!'' Naruto was about to say 'No' when Konohamaru's sentence suddenly clicked in his mind
''Did you say... boss?'' the blonde asked in disbelief
''Yeah... Please teach me boss!'' said Konohamaru ''Boss, boss, boss'' by now Naruto had a grin on his face that stretched from ear to ear, his ego was literally growing right now.
''Ok! Let's start! Are you ready to learn?!'' asked Naruto
''YES!'' Konohamaru responded. This only made Naruto smirk.
This would be the ultimate prank against Jiji...
Meanwhile on the Hokage Office, Hiruzen sneezed and then he shivered. Those shivers sparked a fear inside Hiruzen. The feeling he got was the same feeling he got every single time Naruto was about to do a prank that would affect him in some way, shape or form. Needless to say Hiruzen cursed Naruto's parents (specifically his mother) for making him so mischievous.
''I'm getting too old for this'' said Hiruzen as he tried to concentrate on the paperwork on his desk. He swore that the Fourth Hokage only died to avoid paperwork.
Naruto was now frustrated. It seemed that Konohamaru could not use the transformation jutsu correctly so Naruto first had to help him with the technique before he could teach him anything. First Naruto told Konohamaru to transform into a lady that was walking on the streets, unfortunately Konohamaru messed the jutsu up and the lady noticed them only to get angry at Konohamaru transforming into a fat and ugly version of her.
But for some reason she hit Naruto instead...
Yeah and it happened multiple times. Naruto wasn't sure what the heck was happening. He was sure that they should have hit Konohamaru. Sure the villagers hated him but this was bordering on the ridiculous aspect. So after a while Naruto and Konohamaru left the village to rest on a log located at one of the training areas that shinobi could use.
''I don't get it'' mumbled Naruto ''How come you screw up and I'm the one who gets hit?'' Konohamaru looked down in guilt. He knew why the only hit Naruto and ignored him. It was because he was the Third Hokage's grandson, the young child hated that title. He hated how when they saw him, they only saw the Third's grandson...
''It's my fault'' said Konohamaru ''They don't hit me because I'm the Third's grandson...'' Naruto looked at Konohamaru with curiosity ''My granpa gave me the name Konohamaru in honor of the village but... nobody calls me by that name... It's always the Honorable Grandson of the Third Hokage... I hate it...'' Naruto could sympathize him in some sort of way ''That's why I want to beat Jiji so everyone stops seeing me like the Third's grandson and start to see me as Konohamaru'' Naruto was about to speak when both boys heard a shout.
''Honorable Grandson'' Naruto heard Konohamaru groan at how he was called and he saw the man known as Ebisu. The jounin landed in front of both boys and looked at Konohamaru ''Honorable Grandson you shouldn't associate yourself with... him!'' Naruto internally growled at Ebisu ''Don't you want to become Hokage? I have told you so many times that the shortest way to become Hokage is under my tutelage''
''No! I want to stay with the boss! He has teached me a lot more than you'' said Konohamaru making Ebisu's jaw drop to the ground as the young boy made a hand seal and transformed into brown haired woman who had smoke covering her chest and private areas. Ebisu's expression was priceless. So priceless in fact, that Naruto fell down on his butt laughing
'The expression on his face!' thought Naruto while laughing 'It's even better than Jiji's'
''Who taught you that?!'' Ebisu's expression had changed again to show his outrage as Konohamaru dispelled his transformation ''That must have been the influence of that brat! Honorable Grandson, we are leaving at once!'' by now, he had Konohamaru by the wrist with the boy protesting. In that moment Naruto decided that laughing time was over.
''Shadow Clone Jutsu!'' that was the only warning before Ebisu was surrounded by around thirty clones. Ebisu however didn't seem all that impressed.
''You think you can beat me with that? I'm not like Mizuki, I'm a jounin, an elite ninja'' said Ebisu looking at Naruto dismissively. He didn't know how Naruto defeated Mizuki, only that he did. Ebisu most likely believed that Naruto had swarmed Mizuki with hundreds of clones at once.
Naruto growled at being underestimated. Then he along with each and every single one of his clones made a hand seal.
''Sexy Jutsu'' each one of the Narutos in the field were immediately replaced by a blond woman with her hair in pigtails, there was smoke covering their chest and private areas.
While Ebisu had managed to see Konohamaru's sexy jutsu and not faint, there was no way he would be capable of withstanding thirty of these at once. The 'Elite' ninja had a nosebleed so massive that he was launched in the air, letting go of Konohamaru in the process. Ebisu landed on the ground unconscious with a stupid expression on his face.
''I might call that my 'Harem Jutsu' '' said the blonde as his clones dispelled along with his transformation. Konohamaru looked at Naruto with stars in his eyes
''wow! That was awesome! He went down in just one second!'' said Konohamaru ''With something like that I will turn into the Hokage right away'' Naruto winced at that. There was no way that he could become Hokage with the 'Sexy Jutsu' and it's variations since they only worked on men (And perverted ones at that)
''Konohamaru'' said person looked at Naruto ''There is no short way of becoming Hokage. In order to do that, you have to train for it. You have to get strong enough, and also...'' Naruto paused before looking at Konohamaru with a fierce expression on his face ''You need to beat me in battle!'' the young kid looked at Naruto before a determined expression came to his face
''You know what!'' started Konohamaru ''You're not my boss anymore! From now on we are rivals! Rivals for the hat!'' Naruto smirked at seeing Konohamaru's determined expression and responded
''Naruto Uzumaki and Konohamaru Sarutobi competing for the hat... I like it!'' Naruto grinned at Konohamaru with absolute sincerity. The blonde wasn't just humoring Konohamaru, he really meant it. He really looked forward to the day that he and Konohamaru fought for the Hokage position.
And Konohamaru saw that sincerity and grinned in return.
That day, not only a friendship was born, but it was a beginning of a beautiful rivalry and a teacher-student relationship.
A/N: Well there goes. Chapter 6 is there with it's 3522 words. Now that was a long chapter, lately it's been more easy to me to write more.
Now to answer the reviews (I don't answer ALL of them. Just the ones that are worth responding to clear something up or to respond to a question so a short comment won't be responded becaused it will serve no purpose)
Vallavarayan(Recently posted on chapter 2): Hope you make it naruhina. And hope you don't over exaggerate naruto's stupidity and Hinatas shyness. Both were exaggerated by kishi for comic relief. But Hinatas character should have befriended him earlier in cannon and naruto's character would have remembered helping her and asked her if she was alright once he met her again in the academy.
Response: If you have read chapter 3 then you may already know my opinion about Naruhina (I like the pairing but I still think it's a little overused), so for the sake of doing something more varied I'm staying away from Naruhina in this story (sorry). As for Naruto's stupidity, I don't think he was stupid in the anime, in my opinion he was just ignorant and naive since he had nobody to take care of him (We've seen how intelligent he can be when battling). I think people call Naruto stupid because of his ignorance and because of his goofy personality. Hinata's shyness on the other hand was maybe a little exagerated sometimes but I remember having a good laugh those times but yeah I also remembered being a little bit annoyed when her shyness was portrayed too much.
Element-OverLord: Loved The Chapter AND The X-Strike! Also Great That You Confirmed About The Gates Appearing. So Will Other CT Characters Like Magus/Janus And Schala Appear? Heck, I Can See Dalton With Either Orochimaru Or Akatsuki. For Pairing, I Think It's Insane, But Why Not Both Yakumo And Rin? And No, It's Not Harem. Just Those Two. What You Think? Perhaps A Poll To Let Readers Choose?
GOOD LUCK!
PS: If You Need Any Help With Your Story, Please Tell Me Since I Have Played Chrono Trigger As Well As The Fan Made Sequel, Crimson Echoes.
Response: Glad you like the chapter and also glad that you noticed the X-Strike (Even if it was obvious because of how I described the attack). I'm already checking which CT character I can fit in the story (And I already have a few). Dalton being with Akatsuki is good but I can picture him better with Orochimaru (You will see why later). And also thanks for offering your help (I have also played Crimson Echoes, it a great game), I might ask for help if needed.
Well that's all the questions. Please leave a review if you want to ask something.
Well, see ya
