Naruto knew better than to go to the academy dressed in his current outfit, the villagers would see him as getting cocky and try to kill him more, so he transformed into his usual 'Kill me orange' outfit that everyone knew and avoided being in public for very long. The only times he ever left were to get groceries while disguised as a civilian, that way he could avoid the heightened prices or being kicked out all together. He'd go out to visit Ichiraku's Ramen stand, which he'd slowed down on so he could eat healthier. He was pleasantly surprised, since his new diet actually helped. He was now one of the taller students, even though that wasn't much of an improvement. Lastly it was to visit his best friend, if not only friend before he started the academy, Hinata. He had defended her from bullies and led her back to his house to keep her safe from them. To keep her safer down the road, he keyed her in as a guest, then to a clan ward with the approval of the Hokage. Although that meant she was technically part of his clan, she wouldn't get his kekkei genkai just yet, but it would help her down the line if she ever had trouble with her family.
Speaking of Hinata, Naruto had helped her with her stuttering and helping her with training. Of course Hinata agreed to it so she could be closer to her 'Naruto-kun'. In the end, they became experimental boyfriend/girlfriend. That means that they had to keep it a secret and wear a personality mask to hide it, Hinata behind one of the shy girl, while Naruto hid behind a mask of the class idiot. (Basically it went the same way in canon in the academy except Naruto didn't have a crush on Sakura) Naruto also got Hinata to sign the fox summoning contract, much to the amusement of Kyuubi, who spent the rest of the day teasing Naruto that he got his 'Mate' to sign it too.
The academy went by rather slowly, too slowly for Naruto. He had taken to pranking anyone who had wronged him in the past and had enjoyed the workout that the Chunin, Jonin, and even some ANBU gave him when he ran from them. Not that they could catch him, since every time they would lose him for a split second, he'd bend light around him and become invisible. The technique wasn't battle ready, since he had to stay put for it to work. It kept him busy until the end of the year. Naruto and Hinata agreed to drop half of their masks, Hinata would be a little more confident, but kept some of it hidden so it wasn't much of a change and it would hopefully go unnoticed. Naruto however, dropped his transformation before walking into class. Everyone stopped and looked at him with varying thoughts.
'What? Is that Naruto? He... actually looks rather hot! I'm impressed.'
'Is that Naruto-Baka? He's just jealous of Sasuke-kun! Cha!'
'That can't be Naruto can it? He isn't wearing his usual kill-me-orange' 'bark!'
'...I see... he's been holding back... troublesome...'
'munch munch'
After Naruto sat down next to Hinata, much to Kiba's dismay, Iruka and Mizuki came in and both saw Naruto's new look. 'Is that Naruto? I see he's finally taking this seriously for once' Mizuki however was seething inside So what if he changes his outfit, I'll make sure the demon doesn't pass, then I can kill him later tonight and be a hero The written exam went by rather well, Naruto got passed the genjutsu Mizuki put up on his paper, making it a lot easier. Next was the taijtusu exam, that went rather well, everyone had to fight either Iruka or Mizuki for three minutes, getting a better score the longer you lasted. The only ones that lasted the full three minutes were Hinata and Sasuke, with the worst being Sakura, which wasn't much of a surprise.
Now it was Naruto's turn, his opponent was Mizuki. Now for the other students, the teachers held back for the student's safety, however Mizuki wasn't going to hold anything back against the kyuubi brat. When it began, the teme ran in to hit Naruto full force, which Iruka would've stopped if he could, but right before he said anything, Naruto got under the evil teacher's guard and nailed him in the gut with a punch. While Mizuki was bend over, Naruto quickly circled around and nailed his opponent in his jewels, lifting him off the ground. This made every guy watching cover their pride as they watched. Naruto then jumped up and while Mizuki was up in the air, Naruto kicked him into the ground, standing on top of the now unconscious teacher as he waited for Iruka to call it.
While the teacher-teme was out cold, the last part of the exam took place. Everyone went through the academy three, and show any additional jutsu they may want to show off. Again, the insult to Kunoichi was the only one why didn't show an additional jutsu, claiming she didn't need it (*cough*bullshit*cough*). Now was Naruto's turn, he easily pulled off the substitution and transformation, and came to his nemesis, the clone jutsu. Naruto looked at Iruka "Iruka-sensei, I can't do the clone jutsu, too much chakra, is it alright if I do a different one?" Iruka was confused, what other clones would Naruto know? "...Sure Naruto. Go ahead." Naruto nodded and went through some hand signs before shouting out "Light Style: Mirage Clone Jutsu!" Naruto's body began to shimmer and with a flicker, it appeared as if four extra Naruto's seemed to slide out, like Naruto was a projection and someone used a lens trick to make more of him. Iruka was impressed, he had never heard of light style before, but this appeared to be an advanced version of the regular clone jutsu. Now it was time for the alternate jutsu. Naruto flashed through some more hand signs before shouting out "Light Style: Creation Forge Jutsu!" Upon completion, the surrounding training ground seemed to dim to the confusion of students until what looked like glowing white senbon needles appeared around Naruto, pointing at the targets before firing and striking one of said targets, making it look like a pincushion. Iruka was impressed although he had to tell Naruto to stop when a few of the senbon seemed to orbit around Kiba's neck, stopping the mutt from trying to grab Hinata's rear.
The results were in right around the time that Mizuki awoke. The student of the year was Sasuke, and the Kunoichi of the year was Sakura, while Kiba was the lowest passing score. Everyone who passed got a forehead protector and Naruto put his around his neck, similar to Hinata's. They were told to meet back in a week to receive their team placements.
Mizuki was pissed, that damn brat passed! Now he had to do it all himself! 'All I need to do is take the forbidden scroll and Orochimaru-sama will grant me all the power I want!' As Mizuki left the Hokage's tower on his way to the forest, a pair of eyes watched him, the lone stranger simply smirked and mumbled under his breath, "Heh, payback's gonna be a bitch, Mizuki-teme"
Note:
Fukuingan (Gospel Eye): A pseudo-dojutsu (cannot be transplanted since it's not an actual dojutsu). When active, a ring of ancient text appears in a circle in the Iris of the eyes. It comes in three parts: the first is the ability to see light, including infrared and ultraviolet; the second is the ability to bend light, even to the point that it can become solid; the third being the use of Light Style, which allows the creation of items made out of light, the bending of light for varying purposes, or augmenting with one of the basic elements for added effects (someone with this bloodline cannot use any elemental jutsu other than their secondary affinity, since their primary element is always Light, the only exception to this rule is the augmented light style techniques). For those that receive the Fukuingan you lose your secondary affinity and your primary becomes your new secondary, with your primary being light. With those that have sub-elements, that sub-element becomes the secondary.
