The sun shone brightly through the small crack in the window of a large room, the brilliant molten rays spilling onto the face of the young boy inside.

"Mmmm... Don't wanna get up." He mumbled in raspy voice, rolling onto his side in an attempt to remove the rays from his feild of vision.

"Naruto, get up. You remember what today is right?" A feminine voice sounded from within his head.

The boy, Naruto, imeadiatly perked up upon hearing this voice and what it had said. "Of course, how could I forget? Tou-san's been reminding me of this day since I joined the academy!" Naruto smirked upon thinking this, and jumped out his bed, dashing towards the bathroom. "Gotta hurry, hurry, hurry!" He screamed mentally, as he messily combed his golden locks and hurrily threw on his everyday outfit.

"Naruto, calm down before you accedently drop your henge!" The voice from earlier reprimanded.

"Sorry, Hikari-Chan, it's just, today is the day I finally become a genin. I'll be one step closer to surpassing my father!"Naruto raved. Yugure chuckled at the boys antics before saying,

"You won't get the chance to become Genin if you don't hurry up and leave." She said.

Naruto's eyes widen and he quickly looked to the clock to confirm thst if he didn't leave now he would, indeed, be late.

~At the academy~

"Alright class, I'm sure you all know-" Just as Iruka was about to finish what it was that he was trying to say, the door burst open to reveal a very disgruntled and tired blonde.

"S-sorry... I'm late... Sensei. I over slept." Naruto said, panting.

"It's alright Naruto, just take your seat." Iruka said mentally sweatdroping at the blondes tardiness. "Anyway, as I was saying, I am sure you all know what today is, correct?" He roused a collective nod from the class. "Good. Now that I know everyone knows about the Genin Exams, My assistant, Mizuki, will now explain the rules." Another nod from the class.

The said silver haired assistant held up three fingers before speaking, "Alright, there will three parts of this test. The throwing test, where we will evaluate your accuracy with ninja tools," he put one finger down, "The sparring test where we will see how good your Taijutsu is," another finger fell, "and finally, the Jutsu test, where we will see how well your ninjutsu is by having you perform the three basic academy jutsu." He finished, putting down the final finger.

"Thank You, Mizuki. Alright class, for this first test, we will by calling you in alphabetical order, so please be patient." And with that he started calling of names for the throwing test, but Naruto paid little attention.

"Hey, Hikari-Chan, could you please alert me when someone who is acually worth watching is up?" He asked.

"Sure." Came the simple reply.

Quite a large sum of time passed before Hikari called out to Naruto again, and told him to watch the raven haired boy that had taken the stand. "Uchiha Sasuke seems rather formadible." Hikari mused.

"He's a stuck up arrogant prick." Naruto retorted, but watched regardless. Sasuke threw his ten kunai, and all of them hit either in or near the center. He did the same with the shuriken, all but one hitting dead center. "Meh.. He's alright." Naruto decided.

"Uzumaki Naruto!" Iruka called. Naruto smirked and walked up, took out his ten kunai and shuriken, and threw them all at the same time. He watched them soar and smirked slightly when they all hit a bulls-eye on their respective targets. "E-excellent job, Naruto." Iruka congratulated.

"Here are the top three highest scores in the accuracy test. Third Place is Aburame Shino. Second Place is Sasuke Uchiha-" The scarred chunin was cut off by a mass of loud, feminine screeches and shouts of outrage by the group of students Iruka secretly nicknamed 'The Uchi-Fans'.

Shouts of 'No Way! Sasuke-kun is the best! He should have first place!' and other such things filled the classroom. A tick marked appeared on Iruka's head before it grew to epic proportions. Once it got as big as it was gonna get, Iruka yelled at the top of his voice, "SHUT UP!", effectively silencing the outraged fangirls. "Thank You. Now, First Place for the accuracy test is Uzumaki Naruto!" Iruka finished.

"Now, since you had the highest marks on the first test, Naruto, would you like to be the first one to spar?" Iruka questioned. Naruto just nodded and walked to the sparring field. "Uzumaki Naruto, your sparring partner will be Uchiha Sasuke." Iruka announced.

As soon as Iruka finished, the 'Uchi-Fans' started screaming things like, "Kick his ass, Sasuke-kun!" into the field. When Sasuke had made it to the Sparring Field, Iruka began going over the rules.

"The rules are simple. No ninjutsu, no tools, and the first one to give up or get knocked out loses. Any questions?" When he saw that neither had any, he backed up. "Hajime!"

And with that the two academy students took off, their movements hard to keep track of, even for the chunin. After a couple minutes of this high-speed sparring, they finally parted. "Not bad, Dobe. Never thought you'd be able to keep up with me, even with who your father is." Sasuke said.

"Same to you, Emo-Duck King." Naruto retorted, causing Sasuke to become angry. Without another word, Sasuke lunged at Naruto, who dodged it with ease. Smirking, the blonde decided to mess with Sasuke some more. "'Oh, look at me! I'm the Emo King, Sasuke! I have a god complex and think every one should bow down and kiss my ass!" He teased.

Growling, Sasuke once again launched himself at the blonde, but instead of dodging this time, Naruto met Sasuke's lunge with a firm fist to the stomach. Sasuke doubled over, holding his stomach, before looking up in rage. "This is impossible, I am from the elite clan of the Uchiha. I cannot be beaten by the likes of you!" He yelled, earning himself a very well placed foot to the side of his head.

"Shut up, Duck Butt. Your clan is elite, but YOU are not." Naruto said to the unconscious teen, before walking away form the field.

"The winner is Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka announced before calling the names of the other sparring matches.

"Was it really necessary to kick him in the head like that?" Hikari asked.

"No. His god complex was just becoming to much to handle."

"Oh."

After that, Naruto waited for his named to be called for the final test.

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Bout frickin' time!" Naruto exclaimed, before heading to the front of the class. "Um, Iruka-sensei? Tou-san asked me to ask you this, but are any type of clone allowed?" Naruto asked. The scarred chunin just nodded and motioned Naruto to get on with the techniques. Naruto did the appropriate signs before calling out, "KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" And with that, 10 perfect copies of Iruka stood as still as statues. Iruka looked at his copies for a minute. "Do I pass, Sensei?" The boy asked.

The real Iruka stepped out from the center of the clones, and took of his own head-band. "Congratualations, Uzumaki Naruto! You pass with the highest scores seen since Itatchi Uchiha! As of now, you are the rookie of the year." Upon hearing this, the Uchi-Fans seethed, but held their tounges for fear of being yelled at by Iruka again. Sasuke himself, however, was not as gracious.

"Impossible! There is no way a dobe like him could ever hope to beat me! I should be rookie of the year, not some mother-less loser like him. I demand you give up you spot- " He shouted, being cut of by Naruto before he could finish.

"Last time I checked, Sasu-gay, I knocked you out during the spar, got one more bull-eye then you during the accuracy test, and performed three jutsu at the same time, one of which was a B-rank kin-jutsu. Oh yeah, and you've been father-less for three years, so you have no room to speak." Naruto explained, angered by the demand made by the Uchiha.

As the two stared of at each other, Iruka decided to break the tension before something drastic happened. "Okay, all the students who passed are to report here tomorrow to find out their teams and meet their sensei, alright? Good, Ja Ne!" And with that final note, Iruka shunshin'd away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Naruto the Fox~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Tou-San! I'm home." Naruto yelled to his father, hoping this would be one of the days he would be home.

"I'm in here, Naruto." A voice sounded from the kitchen. Naruto smiled, and walk off to the kitchen, stepping in to see his father still in his trench coat. "So, how'd it go? Will my son be following in my footsteps?" Minato asked.

"Yep! I'm one step closer to passing you up, Old Man!" Naruto said enthusiastically.

"Hey, I'm not that old! I'm only 33." Minato whined.

"Exactly, your old." The mini-clone retorted, causing his father to sweat drop.

"I give up. Well, I'm going to bed. Good night, Naruto."

"Night, Tou-San!" And with that, both father and son went to their respective rooms, and fell asleep quickly and peacefully.

A/N: So, how was it? Good, bad, horrible? Please let me know. R&R please. Till next time.
