A couple of years later…

Naruto and many of his peers currently attend the Ninja Academy. All those that enter this academy have aspirations to one day become full-fledged shinobi like those before them.

This is where the story now takes place...

Number One Hyper-Active Knucklehead

Konoha(the "Village Hidden in the Leaves", or the Leaf Village), a beautiful village that is home to many great people and many exceptional shinobi. Why there is even a tribute to its greatest shinobi, the Hokages, which can be seen from a great distance. Just look at this beau… ti…ful…… sight…

HEY…!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE! WHO THE HELL DEFACED THE HOKAGE MONUMENT?!!...

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Lord Hokage!!! Naruto is causing trouble!"

"What, again?" the Hokage questioned. "What is it this time?"

"He's desecrating the Hokage monument…"

Meanwhile…

Naruto was hard at work but he could hear people below yelling things like he should stop or that he would pay for this and every other rotten thing he had done.

To this he could only respond… "Shut up guys, I'm tryin' to work here. Ha, none of you could even hope to do something like this, but I can because I'm so incredible!"

With that said he suddenly got a bad feeling, like something terrible was about happen…

"NARUTO! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING DURING CLASS TIME?!"

It was none other than Naruto's academy teacher, Iruka. Naruto knew he was in for it now especially since the Hokage, his honorary grandfather, had just arrived as well...

Back at the academy…

"You knucklehead!! The graduation exam is only a few weeks away. If you would put half of the energy into studying as you do your stupid pranks then you wouldn't be just getting by. If you want to pass then you should get your act together now!" Iruka bellowed.

(Silence)

With that Iruka snapped, "FINE, it's time for a review on the "Transformation" Jutsu, so everyone LIIINE UUUP!"

The entire class exploded in an uproar. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!" could be heard throughout the academy.

The line was moving along and soon it would be Naruto's turn. Sasuke got up, did his transformation, and received the usual praise along with some cheers from his classroom fan club.

"This is all your fault Naruto," Ino stated.

Naruto just snidely remarked, "Tch... Like I care," as he stepped up.

"This is so lame, Iruka sensei knows that this is my worst technique. He's just doing it to be spiteful… Well… here goes nothing…" he thought.

"TRANFORM!!" Is all that could be heard as the room filled with smoke only to reveal…

Iruka made a huge gasp before blood began to drip and eventually exploding from his nose. The stream of blood blasted him through the air like a rocket. The same thing happened to many of the other boys as well as they caught a sight of Naruto. He had transformed into a girl with nothing but smoke barely covering her naked body. Many of the girls were shocked, and somewhat jealous of Naruto's figure, as he was much more developed than all of them were or could ever hope to be.

"Ha ha ha! I call that my Sexy Jutsu! I guess a lot of you guys really like it," transforming back…

"YOU IDIOT! DON'T INVENT STUPID TECHNIQUES LIKE THAT!" Iruka yelled at the top of his lungs with some blood still trickling from his nose…

At the Hokage monument…

"Naruto, I won't let you go home until you're done," Iruka bluntly stated.

"Jeez, doesn't anybody know how to take a joke around here?"

"It's not about jokes, it's about respect. If you want respect then you should show others respect. That includes villages and the things that are important to them."

Iruka noticed that Naruto's expression changed and it seemed like he wasn't going to say anything else so he decided to change the subject.

"I'll tell you what, the sooner you finish up the sooner I can treat you to some ramen! But only if you do a good job…"

At this Naruto bucked up and happily said that he would definitely work hard.

Later at Ichiraku's Ramen Stand…

Naruto and Iruka were sitting on a couple of stools eating and carrying on a conversation…

"Naruto, why were you doing that to the Hokage monument? I know you're a good kid and I know you know who the Hokage is and what he represents, but doing that would leave the wrong kind of impression on some people…"

Naruto smirked a little and said, "I know but one day I'm gonna get the title of Hokage and make all the previous look like nothing compared to me. Then the entire village'll have to recognize and respect me as one of the greatest!"

At this Iruka couldn't help but smile and chuckle a little. He then noticed that Naruto was looking at his forehead protector…

"What, this? I guess you wanna try and wear it right? Well you'll just have to get yourself together and earn your own," Iruka stated.

"Sure thing, I'll do my best!" Naruto said as he finished his fifth bowl of the night and moved on to the next...

When he got home later that night he checked in with the Third before going to his room to prepare for the Graduation exam. Little did Naruto know that his study habits would not be the only thing to change that night…
