I do not own Naruto

Speach " Kage no Bushin
thought" Kage no Bushin


It was day before the genin exam. Every student was given a list of what was in the exam:

Written exam
Kunai Accuracy test
Taijutsu Tournament
Lunch
Justu test, Henge and Bunshin

Upon receiving this list Naruto realised he had made a mistake. Kiba mistook the look on his face as fear, he taunted

"Whats the matter dead last, scared you gonna fail"

Most of the class laugh at this.

No way dog breath, I'm going to be Hokage one day, the only thing I'm worried about is showing everyone here to shame with my awesome skills."

"Yea right like you can beat Sasuke he's a genius" a random fan girl screamed.

"By whose standards us or the Uchiha's" Naruto calmly replied much to everyone's surprise.

"What do you mean?" Ino asked. This was on everyone's mind. Sasuke even seem interested.

"Well if you look at from our point of view then he is a genius, however most Uchiha's have their Sharingan by now, and I've seen no prove that Sasuke has one. So is he a normal genius or a below standard Uchiha?"

This statement had three responsive. The smart ones agreed but was shock that it came from Naruto

Those that didn't understand what he was talking about.

And the fan girls. The screeched insults at naruto, to the point that even Iruka couldn't fully understand. However hearing the words, unloved, orphan and loser he tried to regain control, and failed. Naruto on the other hand had a better idea. He moved towards the loudest fan-girl, which happened to be Sakura, placed a small piece of paper with a seal on it on her forehead and activated it. When everyone realised that she couldn't make a noise they all started to demand to know what that was.

"SILENCE" Iruka screamed. "Naruto what was that, is it harmful and where can I get some?"

"It's a silence seal. It basically stops any noise coming from a person. I don't think it harmful, first time I've tested it on a human. In about 2 hours it will run out or if I release the seal" naruto explained.

"Naruto release the seal, class is ending now, so you guys can get some training for tomorrow" Iruka told him.

After the academy naruto went for a walk. Hoping to fix his mistake.

"If I went into the exam and fought like the Yondaime, then most of the villager will try to kill me as I would have desecrated his fighting style. No weapons so I can't use my sword. Can't use the Rasengan. Hopefully the seal work I've learnt will help me in the written exam. My henge and my bushin are perfect. Wait. Naruto stopped and started to bash his head against a tree. Stupid like I can just show off the fact i can do a Kage no bushin, it's a jonin technique too many question if do, but i cant do the normal bushin, and if i fail the bushin i fail the test.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he screamed in frustration. He knew that he could win one or two fights depending on who he was fighting. So the taijutsu was ok but if he failed the bushin...

"NNarrutto-kkun arre yyou allrigght, whhats wwrong?" a shy quite voice asked.

"Everything Hinata-san" was the jinchuriki response.

"Ddo yyou wwant ttoo ttallk aaboout iit" She inquired blushing in the hope she could help her crush.

"What would you do if the only way to pass the exam was to perform a justu that would get you into trouble because there is no way an academy student could learn it or get hold of it. Do i perform the justu and say screw the consequences or fail the exam, which isn't really much of an option?" naruto knew enough about Hinata, that she would always help out and never insult him. He didn't really trust her, but out of everyone he knew she was high on his trust list.

Hinata thought about it and bashfully asked " Ccaan't yyou ssay tthhat ssomme oone ttaughht iit too yyou."

Naruto smiled, " Hinata-san that is a great idea, why didn't i think of this." She blushed glad to be of help. " Can i ask you something" she nodded, " why are you so shy, i mean your a strong kunoichi when you have to be, you the only Hyuga i know that does?" When she started to mumble something, he continued "If its personal you don't have to tell me. Its just when i was five i was shy, and i found it damaged my growth. It wasn't my fault, i just had too many people insulting me and i withdraw from everyone. When i was 6 i started to shout at trees in the forest, cursing them. Soon i started to shout form the top of the Hokage faces. It might help you out."

"Hinata here" a firm voice commanded.

"Ggorumm NNarruto tthats mmy ffather, ccan wwe ttalkk toomoorow?" she sturred happy that Naruto seemed to care about her and told he about his past, he never did that to anyone.

"Sure thing Hinata-san" Naruto happily replied, "thanks for your help"

Naruto went to his father's house and studied his father's prized justu and got an early night.

The day started with the written exam. During the course of the exam Naruto realised he had spent too much time on seals and forging and not focused on important stuff like history, names, places and names of justu and what they looked like. He was surprised at the complex questions, stuff he never even hear Iruka speak off, but then again he rarely paid attention. The name of the Yondaime, some trigonometry and even stuff that he read was on the forbidden scroll. The Kunai test was easy. 10 targets at difference ranges, 10 kunai each target. So one target was equal to 10% of the test.

Naruto got an average of 9 out of 10 on each target, giving him a score of 90%. Only one person beat him and that was Sasuke on 94%. Third place went to Shikamaru surprisingly who had 86%.

The Taijutsu test was a nightmare. His first fight was against Kiba. Kiba was the second highest in taijutsu. The only two people that could beat him was Sasuke and Hinata. Though Hinata only won when Kiba insulted Naruto too much. He found a form that was suited more to his style than his dad's that was really similar but hadn't had enough time to practise it. he knew there was no way to win without showing the world his full power and have everyone wonder how much he was hiding. Naruto was brought out of his thoughts when Kiba yelled " Hey loser get over here, or are you too scared." Naruto smiled and entered the ring.

Kiba had a habit of insulting his foe, get them too angry to think straight.

"Hey dead last, ready to lost again" Kiba taunted.

Before Naruto could reply Kiba lunged in with a kick to the stomach. This knock Naruto back to the edge of the ring. He got up, and charged Kiba. Naruto got a good punch to Kiba's nose with a loud crack. Kiba reacted with a leg sweep which got naruto to the ground then pinned him. The only way to win was to force you foe out of the ring, knock them out, get Iruka to pass you thought or pin them on the ground for 10 seconds. This meant that Naruto lost the match. The plus side was Kiba had a broken nose, easily fix by a medic but it made Naruto happy. Naruto walked over to the side line and read one of his sealing books. Sasuke won the tournament. Hinata came second whilst Kiba was third. Kiba lost badly to Hinata for some unknown reason.

After lunch came the real exam. The last few were to gauge the Kunoichi of the year, rookie of year and to get a basic skill test for teams. The justu test were fail one and you fail the whole exam.

One by one everyone went into the side room, with friends cheering them on, wishing them good luck. When they exited they had a hitai-ate and was congratulated by everyone. Naruto was the last one to enter. No one wished him luck or cheered him on, Hinata either coughed or mumbled something he could tell.

"last but not least Naruto" Iruka said trying to but a happy turn on the exam. " I need you to perform the bushin justus, 2 henges one of me and someone famous and the replacement justu. I know it wasn't on the list but sometimes you don't get all the information as a shinobi. Any questions"

"can i use any bushin" Naruto replied.

"Sure thing" Mizuki told him

Naruto passed the replacement with ease. When asked to henge into Iruka, he did a perfect copy

"So sensei can I henge into anyone?" naruto asked. With a nod of yes he smiled rather evilly

"NO naruto not th..." was all that Iruka got to say before Naruto unleashed his Sexy justu. Iruka seeing it before suffered from a nose bleed. It was Mizuki's first time to see it, he completed fainted in a pool of his own blood.

"BAKA" Iruka screamed with tissue up his nose. Naruto was laughing

"Should i wait for Mizuki-sensei or just start the bushin?" Naruto asked

"just do it" an annoyed Iruka told him.

"Kage Bushin no justu" naruto said as he formed 5 clones. To say Iruka was shocked was an understatement

"Naruto how the hell do you know that justu. It's a jonin technique on the forbidden scroll. Not only is it impossible to get hold of but almost impossible for you to learn"

"Well someone taught it to me. He doesn't want anyone to know who he is for some reason, he never gave his name. He said my charka control sucked because i had too much or something. So he taught me an advance level. "Naruto replied hoping that Iruka couldn't see the lie.

"Naruto I know you lying and I know you too stubborn to tell me. However I need to know a few things. First are you sure that he is a part of this village." Naruto nodded. "Is he trying to use you in any way? Is he a security breach? If he caused trouble you would tell me right?" Naruto nodded again. "Right I will tell the Hokage and your jonin trainer, but unless I have to I won't tell anyone else."

Naruto was happy, he had passed the exam, and he was one step closer to being Hokage. His joy was short lived as he heard what people were saying

" I can't believe they made that thing a shinobi"

"Hopefully he'll die on a mission quickly"

"Damn the brat is armed, how the hell do we know he won't try to destroy us again, what was the Hokage thinking"

"Should have killed it at birth"

The insults stung him, he was use to them, what really made him hurt was the joy between the parent and child, the joy and pride they showed their kid at passing.

He put his emotional mask back on and went to his father's house, hoping no one had seen his pain.


phew that was a long one. Couple of things, first off for the first 2 chapters they weren't meant to have might talking in them. They were a back story, and explanation to the whole idea. There wasn't much i wanted to add before the genin exam, but had to tell. Second is the format layout better. Thirdly is that the best way to show Hinata's stuttering or is there a better way.
Last thing is i need a name for narutos sword, im having trouble coming up with a good name so any ideas would be helpful in Japanese with English translation

Thanks for reading, Please review.
