What if Naruto had a hidden power that came to be when he fought Mizuki, a bloodline he never knew of? Then he would be known as the Kaze no Arashi, the Wind Storm!

Kaze no Arashi

Chapter 3:

Team Seven!

Naruto Uzumaki was putting his iconic orange jacket onto the clothes to be washed as he just wore his black shirt with the Uzumaki Clan symbol in the center. He adjusted his Konoha headband on his forehead, grinning at his reflection like he was seeing a long lost friend.

This is the start of my ninja career! I've got to show everyone what Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto is capable of! Naruto grinned as he rushed to the academy.

All of a sudden, Naruto was literally walking on air as he was gliding on the wind's surface unknowingly. He merely kept going, feeling the wind's gentle hands on his face. The people below him gaped at him like little fishes as they saw the Jinchuriki walk on the wind. Naruto suddenly dropped and landed on the ground with his feet. He smiled at this feeling, the power of the crimson life that flowed in his veins. He ran on the ground, dodging the people ahead with swift delicateness.

His hair was blowing back and his eyes twinkled with pure happiness when he saw the Ninja Academy. I'm finally a ninja! Believe it! He clenched his fists in excitement as he smiled and ran into the academy.

Everyone looked back at who was entering the room, merely turning away when they saw Naruto except a just-turned genin that got angry when he saw the blonde. Why is that dumbass here? He failed the test!

"Naruto!" The black haired nobody said as he approached the main character in anger, a thing no one should do. "Why are you here? You failed!"

This made Naruto angry. "Well, do you see my head band?" Naruto pointed to the Konoha band on his forehead. "That means I am a genin of the Leaf Village!"

The boy merely laughed at Naruto. "I bet you just stole that headband. There's no way the dead-last would be able to pass! You couldn't even make a single clone!"

Naruto grew so mad that he was about to reveal his Shadow Clone Jutsu, but decided to have the upperhand and be underestimated. The air around Naruto pushed the kid back right as Sakura and Ino appeared in the doorway, causing everyone to look at Naruto as he hadn't moved a muscle, but his mouth twisted into a smirk.

"You think that I would reveal my abilities to anyone of you. Secrecy is one of the most important elements in being a shinobi. Believe it!" The Uzumaki-Namikaze said with a smile as everyone including Sasuke was shocked by Naruto.

"Where's that orange jacket, dope?" Sasuke said with a smirk as Naruto looked at the Uchiha.

"It was dirty so I left it so I could clean it later. That's all." Naruto replied simply as he sat near the edge of the bench where Sasuke sat.

"Naruto!" a familiar voice said as Naruto saw Sakura and sighed.

"I know, you want to sit by Sasuke," Naruto said with a grin as Sasuke was sweating with having Sakura sit by him. "Go ahead." After all, I can still sit by her and let her annoy the crap out of teme. He smirked at the Uchiha's paling face as he got up and kindly let Sakura through.

To say Sakura was surprised would be like questioning if Shikamaru was lazy, Sasuke was a revenge-driven bastard, Kakashi was tardy all the time, Naruto loving ramen… okay, and you get it. She even blushed a little at the smiling blonde. "Thanks, Naruto." She then sat down as Naruto scooted next to her and she focused on the Uchiha.

Naruto smiled sadly at seeing the Uchiha get all the attention, but then got more determined to prove himself. I'll show Konoha a hero, a savior. I'll be… Naruto thought of a name for himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully until his eyes brightened in finding a name. …the Kaze no Arashi!

Naruto looked as he saw Iruka come in, looking a lot better than he was yesterday with his wound having healed. "You are now officially genin, ninja of Konohagakure. You'll now be divided into teams of three and be assigned a Jonin-sensei."

Naruto didn't pay attention until he heard, "Team Seven will have Haruno Sakura," Sakura perked up at this, hoping that Sasuke would be with her, "Uchiha Sasuke," Sakura cheered wile Sasuke had sweat bullets running down his body, "and lastily, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto."

Then, Iruka looked to see many confused genin and a glaring Naruto. Shit! Iruka sweat- dropped when he noticed his mistake. I said, 'Uzumaki-Namikaze,' didn't I? That's when he noticed Sakura's hand raise. "What is it, Sakura?"

"Why did you add the Fourth's last name on the end of Naruto's name when you called him off, sensei? I thought Naruto was just an Uzumaki, whoever they are."

Shit, shit, dog fucking shit! Iruka thought as he had sweat coming all over his body, shaking.

"Well, Sakura, when I thought of Naruto, his last name meaning whirlpool made me think of the Fourth's name meaning wind and wave." Sakura still looked suspicious, but nodded and everyone thought it was just a mishap. Iruka let a silent breath of relief that no one noticed. That was close.

"Alright, Team Eight will consist of Aburame Shino, Hyuga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba. Next, Team Ten will be Akamichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru and Ino Yamanaka." Iruka then named a bunch of names that Naruto didn't pay any attention to until the last team came about. "You'll see your sensei later so take a break for now."

Naruto decided to meet up with the Hokage before going back to the Academy. Naruto knocked on the door to hear the old man said come in.

The Third looked happier seeing that it was Naruto who came in. "So, Naruto, what's up?"

"Nothing much, Ojii-san, other than Iruka almost spilling out my heritage to the whole class, but the only one that really concentrated on it was Sakura-chan."

"I see," the Hokage said as he looked at Naruto seriously. "If you want to tell your teammates, it's fine with me."

"But what about my father's enemies coming after me," Naruto asked, scared of what will happen to him.

"Then, I'll protect you from those enemies. You'll only tell those who you can trust completely." Naruto nodded at the Third's words. "Plus you have Hatake Kakashi as your sensei, the Copy-Cat Ninja, one of our strongest ninja in the village."

"Yeah, plus I have my Kage Bunshin and wind so I'll be able to kick ass!" Naruto exclaimed as he ran out of the office. "See ya, Ojii-san."

The Third Hokage chuckled as Naruto left. I'm sure you'll be able to too, Naruto…

Naruto rushed to the Academy, wind rushing around him as he moved. People had bug eyes when they saw a yellow blur move through the door, wind rushing around him. The blur stopped, showing it was Naruto, scratching the back of his head. "Hey, guys!"

Naruto, then, went up and sat in one of the benches in the classroom with everyone talking and chatting to each other. All of a sudden, Uchiha Sasuke approached Naruto and stared at him with intense coal eyes.

"What is it, Sasuke-teme?" Naruto asked as Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the collar, getting Naruto up out of his seat and everyone there to pay attention.

Sasuke was getting angry at this power Naruto had been displaying recently. He wanted to show Naruto that he was better; he was the Uchiha! Whatever power it was, it would never beat his. Naruto was a clan-less dope, though Iruka's slip at Naruto's name earlier made him curious as he kept seeing the Yondaime, the Fourth, in Naruto now. That just fueled the Uchiha's fire, made his anger even worse. Sasuke then smirked at the dead-last.

"Fight me…" Those words caused everyone to stop and look at the two, the genius and the idiot, the bright sun and the dark night.

Naruto was shocked, wondering why Sasuke, arrogant Sasuke, would want to face him, the dope of the whole class. The only thing he could think of that would cause the bastard to even look his way is his new found Kekkai Genkai, his wind abilities. That's when Naruto's eyes widened in recognition, Sasuke was worried he would surpass him. That Naruto had something that the Uchiha thought was dangerous, that it could defeat him.

Naruto smirked at Sasuke, who grew angrier at the Nine-Tails host as he said, "So, you scared that I'm growing more powerful, eh, Sasuke? Then, let's show the class how I'm going to kick that arrogant Uchiha ass of yours all the way to the Land of Waves!"

This got the class excited and Sasuke shoved Naruto into his seat and went out to where they had practice matches. Naruto made the sign of combat but Sasuke sneered rushing toward Naruto. Naruto smirked and caught Sasuke's fist as he pushed his own fist forward and landed the punch on Sasuke's cheek, pushing the Uchiha back.

Everyone gaped at Naruto hitting Sasuke back, who got up instantly, glaring at that one he called dope. Naruto smirked in landing a punch as he used the wind to rush forward, grab Sasuke's arm and fling him across the arena. Sasuke landed in the dirt, very angry with the blonde, who taunted the Uchiha, gesturing with his hand for him to come on.

How did the dope do that? Sasuke thought, like everybody was. He was never that fast before. Is it a kekkai genkai or something I could copy if I had the Sharingan? Sasuke got up, scowled at his opponent and made a handsign.

Sakura gasped. That is the sign of tiger. Sasuke's going to use a Fire Release Jutsu on Naruto. He could kill him!

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! Sasuke blew a colossal fireball out of his mouth toward Naruto who made a series of handsigns.

Two can play that game, Sasuke. Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere! Naruto breathed in and launched out tons of wind blasts at Sasuke and his giant fireball. The blast caused the fireball to grow bigger and hit Naruto. Damn it!

Sasuke thought he was victorious but saw as both Naruto and the strengthened fireball vanish in a puff of smoke, causing Sasuke's coal eyes to widen in pure shock. That was a clone, a solid clone? How could Naruto make a solid clone when he was so bad with them earlier? He always failed the tests because of that jutsu!

Naruto appeared right in front of Sasuke and punched him to the ground. "That was my Shadow Clone Technique and I can create more of them then you can dream of!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth, rushed at Naruto and punched him down while pulling out a kunai. Right as Sasuke was about to stab Naruto, Iruka appeared, holding Sasuke's hand from stabbing Naruto.

"What do you think you are doing, Sasuke?" Iruka questioned as he released Sasuke's hand, Sasuke just sneered and went on his way with his hands in his pockets with the other students following him.

"Naruto…" Naruto rose up and looked at Iruka, "Why did you and Sasuke fight?"

Naruto sighed, "The bastard wanted a fight because he's been seeing me with my Kekkai Genkai. It started as a Tajijutsu spar but then, Sasuke, all of a sudden, used his fireball jutsu thing and I just used a wind jutsu to counter, but that failed miserably."

Iruka didn't pry on as Naruto went back into the academy. Naruto must have used his wind to speed himself up which caused Sasuke to resort to using his fireball. He was so caught up in not losing to Naruto. Both are excellent in Tajijutsu for just graduating out of the academy so Naruto must have intimidated Sasuke to using Ninjutsu.

Iruka, then, went inside and saw as everyone but Teams Seven, Eight and Ten had left. Soon enough, Sarutobi Asuma came in, smoking his cigarette, with his spikey, coal-black hair. "Team Ten, come with me."

Shikamaru sighed, Ino moaned at having to be with these guys while Choji just went on his way, munching on chips. After they left, Yuhi Kurenai appeared and called for Team Eight. Kiba was excited and blushed when he saw that their sensei was a beautiful kunoichi, Shino was Shino and Hinata just silently left the room after looking at Naruto for a second. This left an irritated Sasuke, a thinking Sakura and a bored Naruto.

Only thirty minutes later they did see Hatake Kakashi in the flesh as he just told them he thought they were a bunch of boring students just standing there like idiots and to meet him on the roof.

"Good luck guys," Iruka said to them.

"Thanks, Iruka-sensei!" Sakura and Naruto said as they rushed to the rooftop, wondering what their life would be like as a ninja.

Kakashi looked bored as he just finished meeting his students. Secretly he hoped they would pass, but he didn't know if they would be able to work together. Sasuke looked like he thought he would be, the genius avenger that didn't care about anything but his goals. Sakura surprised him with not being as much as a fan girl as he thought. She still appeared to have a crush on Sasuke, but didn't obsess with him. She also didn't get as angry with Naruto as he thought she would.

Then there was Naruto, ramen-obsessed Naruto… Naruto was just like Kushina when she was young. He also held the dream that many people held, from his parents to Tsunade's lover and Tsunade's brother. The dream of becoming Hokage, the dream of being acknowledged by the village was what all of those people shared. Naruto also did something that was very hard for him to do. He told Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi about holding Kyuubi and that his parents were the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero, Uzumaki Kushina.

Naruto even showed them a picture of Kushina and Minato together in what must have been where they lived. This caused Sasuke to acknowledge Naruto more and the same went for Sakura. They actually understood what Naruto went through; Sasuke more than anyone. Naruto cried tears of pure happiness when he told them, telling them "Thank you!" repeatedly causing Sasuke and Sakura to smile sadly at him.

Kakashi went on his way, making sure to go to the gravestone before he set off to the testing area tomorrow, as he did that every single day.

Uzumaki Naruto was happy.

His team had acknowledged him more, accepted him more, even when he told them his past. He was rushing toward the testing area, actually running ten-minutes late. When he arrived, he was greeted to Sasuke and Sakura but no Kakashi-sensei.

A few minutes later, Kakashi appeared, got yelled at for being late, sweatdropped and explained the test about retrieving bells. As soon as the test started, Sakura and Sasuke hid themselves while Naruto chose to stay out in the open. Naruto smirked as he had caught Kakashi with a clone and had him on the ropes with his kekkai genkai only for Kakashi to use a fireball on him.

This caused Naruto to smirk and generate a whirlwind around his fist like an endless vacuum. Wind Release: Whirlwind Vacuum!

The fire was actually sucked and combined together to make a tornado of fire with the way-stronger wind technique. Naruto's hand started to burn so he released the fire tornado to a completely shocked Kakashi while Sasuke and Sakura went to grabbing the bells. Sasuke blew a fireball on the other side of Kakashi as the jonin went underground and pulled Sasuke down with his Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique. Naruto and Sakura helped pull him out only for the alarm to ring.

Sakura was sent to the stump for not doing anything and Naruto was about to give her food, but she declined only for her stomach to betray her by growling. Sasuke,then, fed her to her delight only for Kakashi to come out of nowhere like a bat out of hell for him to tell them they passed.

This caused Team Seven to cheer in delight, Naruto to free Sakura with a kunai from the stump and them to go on their way, official ninja of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

AN: Hope you liked the chapter! Oh and CJ Snow, I actually had the idea to allow Naruto's wind to become like a vacuum to absorb weaker jutsu, even fire ones. I thought if he focused the wind to his arm he would be able to use it like a tornado, but if he holds it for too long, it will damage his arm. Reminds me a little of Rasenshuriken when it first appeared. This is so Naruto isn't too overpowered against fire jutsu users or anyone for that matter. Next one will be the start of the Wave Ark.
