MEET THE ORANGINEER: Chapter 6

It was a boring day in the village of Konohagakure. At least that's what the two chuunin on guard duty thought as they sat at the village entrance. They had been put on guard duty again, and they were bored out of their minds. These two were none other than Izumo and Kotetsu, known to some of the shinobi in the village as the Hokage's 'errand boys', meaning they did a LOT of boring stuff.

They both sat at the gate, half asleep, completely bored. Izumo, who was the more responsible one, was half hanging over the side of the booth, a dazed look over his face. He was supposed to be continually checking for anyone coming to the village every 20 minutes or so. He turned his head towards the outside of the village, expecting there to be nothing. His eyes widened as he saw nine figures heading toward the gate. He quickly slapped Kotetsu on the head to get his attention. Now both were on high alert as they got closer. The only thing they could make out from the nine people was that they were…all wearing blue.

They slightly relaxed physically as the nine finally reached the gate. One walked up to the booth, a smile on his face.

"Howdy there fellas," he said as he dug into his pouch, soon pulling out papers. He handed them to Izumo, who looked them over. Him and Kotetsu completely relaxed as Izumo handed the papers back. He had a smile on his face as he stood up.

"Welcome back Mr. Conagher. The Hokage will be expecting you and your companions." The man nodded before he led his companions with him. "Oh wait!" The group turned around, seeing both guards with their arms in a halting gesture. "Tell the kid we say hi." The man smiled before he nodded and walked into the village with his group. The BLUs were back.


Hiruzen Sarutobi had an angry frustrated look on his face as he faced off against the worst enemy known to mankind. Paperwork. He had been working on it since four in the morning, and it was now 11:00. It seemed right as he was almost done with it, more showed up. It never ended! He sighed before putting down his pen, and turning his chair around, facing the window. It had been over seven years since Naruto had gone on his trip. He was being trained by perfectly capable and strong people, along with Kakashi, but he still worried for him. He closed his eyes, ready to think over it for the 1,000…

…until he heard a knock on the door. He ignored it, trying to get back to his thought, but the knocking came louder this time, almost like a huge pounding. He ignored it again, trying to get back on track. He suddenly had an instinct to move to the side, and was glad he did as he leapt to the wall beside him. The door had flown off its hinges, sending it right into the desk, making numerous cracks in it. Sarutobi got in a battle stance, a kunai in his hand as he prepared for the worse. However, he did expect to suddenly hear a large noise.

"POW! HAHA! DOOR, YOU ARE DEAD! NOT BIG SURPRISE!" He froze slightly, recognizing the voice. 'I've heard that voice before. It is possible…' but before he could finish his thoughts, another voice spoke.

"Nice goin' lardy! You prob'ly killed him. It went right inta' his desk!" a middle aged voice said with a strange accent. The voice sounded young, around the mid-twenties. The Hokage relaxed as he heard this voice. 'Its older, but it sounds the same as last time. They're back.' He smiled as he put his kunai back under his robes.

"I'm alright, don't worry. You can all come in, I'm not sure I want to talk to you through a huge hole where my door used to be." The Hokage said with a small smile as nine figures stepped into the room. They were slightly older, but he recognized them. One had a baseball cap on, another a blue suit and ski mask. One with an eyepatch, another with a soldier's helmet, and another with a weird rubber suit. One had small round glasses and streaks of grey hair, one had big sunglasses and a fedora, and one was bald with a huge build. The last one he recognized immediately, with the backwards hardhat, and goggles. The BLUs had returned.

"I welcome you all back," the Hokage said as he sat down at his partially destroyed desk. "I presume that the training trip went well?"

"Yes Herr Hokage," the Medic said as he pushed up his glasses with a finger. "The little one's training vas Wunderbarr! Alzough, I doubt you can say hez little now." He added the last part with a weird laugh.

"Excellent." The Hokage said as he looked at the group. It was then something clicked in his head. "Where's Kakashi? I'm hoping he's still alive?" He sweat dropped as they all seemed to grin with a little evil intent.

"Oh don' worry. He'll be here; he's just runnin' a little late for being late for when we left for here." The Engineer said with a humorous smile. The Hokage slightly grew worried at this.

"How late?" he asked, slightly concerned and curious.

Miles outside Fire Country, Kakashi really was running late. Seriously running. He was running on the ground with 300 pound weights tied to his legs so he couldn't use chakra to get away. He was running at slightly average speed, but was somehow keeping distance from the giant mob of ox's chasing him. As he pushed to avoid them, he looked to the sky, and angry look on his visible eye as he screamed.

"DAMN YOU NARUTO!"

The Engineer simply smiled as he looked at the Hokage. "Oh, just an hour or two. He'll be here for the Genin Exams, trust me." The Hokage hesitated, before nodding his head in yes.

"Well, back to important matters," The Hokage said as he looked at them. "Since it is tomorrow, I would like to know where Naruto is." He saw some hesitate, while some tried to hold in what appeared to be laughter.

"Well," Sniper said while trying to hold his chuckle in, "the lad is…"

"He's kinda…" the Scout said with his cheeks turning red. The Hokage was confused at their reactions, so he asked again.

"Where's Naruto?" His question was answered for him immediately by someone talking in his ear form behind him.

"Right behind you." The voice said. This got a reaction. The Hokage jumped out of his seat to the floor, a scared look on his face and a hand over his heart. The room was now filled with laughter. The Sniper, Soldier, Pyro and Engineer were chuckling loudly at his reaction. The rest of the BLUs were cracking up, trying to stand up properly. The Spy was even snorting. The most distinct laugh was the one coming from his chair.

"Hehehe! Looks like I got you good jiji!" the voice said in an all too familiar voice. The Hokage's eyes widened as he looked at his chair, seeing the figure now sitting there.

"Naruto?" the Hokage asked as the figure nodded. The figure identified as Naruto had changed incredibly since he was five. He now stood at about 5' 5, and his skin was a nice light tan. The whiskers were still on his cheeks, but seemed faded. The rest of him was completely different. He was dressed similar to that of the Engineer, with hardhat, outfit, belt, but he also saw differences between the two. The shirt Naruto wore underneath the overalls was a dark orange, and he wore his goggles around his neck. He also had a strange watched on his left wrist, gold with a brown band, along with a strange looking knife and gun in his pouch on his belt. The most noticeable thing about the new Naruto was his right hand. Before it had been a stump covered in bandage wraps. Now it had a yellow glove with blue lines on the fingers, the imprint of the actual fingers underneath the glove visible.

"Yep, it me jiji!" Naruto said as he helped his grandfather figure off the floor. "I got you good, didn't I?" he asked with a foxy grin. The Hokage, out of his shock, could only chuckle at this.

"Yes, yes you did Naruto," the Hokage said as he walked over to the desk and sat down in his chair. "Now how about you tell me some of what you learned on your little training trip." He motioned for all of them to sit down in the various couches and chair around the room. Everyone except for the Spy, Heavy and Pyro sat down, who leaned against the wall.

"Well," Naruto started as he pulled his hardhat off, revealing his spiky blonde hair, "everyone taught me some really cool stuff while we were gone. Sniper-ji-san taught me to be sneaky and to survive in the wild, Soldier-ji-san taught me military strategy, Medic-ji-san taught me about the body, Pyro-kaa-san helped me in how to use and resist fire…" before he could finish, the Hokage spoke in a confused and shocked voice.

"Wait Naruto…did you say…Kaa-san?" the Hokage asked shocked. Naruto looked at him in confusion. "Yeah. Why do you…"he stopped, suddenly getting a huge smirk on his face. "You thought kaa-san was a boy, didn't you?" The Pyro heard this, and turned to the Hokage, cracking her knuckles menacingly. The Hokage was getting slightly nervous.

"O-of course not Naruto. And I'm sure she's a very attractive one too." The Hokage said, hoping to not die. His prayers seemed to be answered as the Pyro put down her fists and resumed her previous position. The Hokage sighed inwardly before letting Naruto continue.

"Anyway jiji, my extreme training really started when I was being taught by Ero-Spy-ji-san, Demo-ji-san, Scout nii-san, and Heavy-ji-san!" A large choking and laughing noise were heard during the sentence. Spy had choked on his cigarette, Scout started laughing at him, and Demoman and Heavy were confused.

"Naruto, why do you say zat I am a pervert?" Spy said after spitting his cigarette back up, a tick mark on his head. Naruto narrowed his eyes before speaking, "Because you got mega converted by Kakashi-nii-san."

"Kid, I'm sure he was a supah perv to begin with!" Scout yelled, laughing more as he fell out of his chair. Spy simply narrowed his eyes, while Naruto looked back at the Hokage.

"Anyway, they all gave me a lot of training. Heavy-ji-san helped me work on my strength so now I'm stronger than I look. Scout-nii-san helped me on my speed, so I can move really fast now! Demo-ji-san actually gave me a lot of knowledge on explosives and kenjutsu." The Hokage was confused at this.

"Kenjutsu?" the Hokage asked. The Demoman, hearing this, perked up from his drunken stupor.

"Aye that's right lad!" he said in a more sober tone than usual. "I use a lotta blades in me work so I taught the laddie how to use one! The funney thing is he totally sucked when he started!" He laughed loudly, before taking a huge swig of hi Scrumpy. He seemed to stand for a moment, before he fell unconscious. The BLUs and Naruto simply sweat dropped while the Hokage looked concerened.

"Is he okay?" he asked as he went to stand up. A gesture from Naruto told him to sit back down.

"Don't worry about this jiji, he's fine. This actually happens every day. He gets up, gets super drunk, goes unconscious, wakes up, then gets drunk again." Naruto said with no surprise in his voice. The Hokage's jaw was now on the table. He shook his head, before looking back at Naruto.

"And what is it that the Spy taught you?" the Hokage asked. Naruto simply smiled before lifting his left arm…and disappearing. The Hokage's eyes went wide, surpise on his face. But before he could speak, he heard Naruto's voice.

"Don't worry jiji, I'm still here." As he finished the sentence, he reappeared across the room, leaning on the wall. To say the Hokage was shocked didn't even describe it. Naruto had just been able to disappear and reappear like that. He listened as Naruto continued. "Ero-Spy-ji is a master of deception. He was able to infiltrate an entire base filled with enemies to get intelligence, and he left without a single scratch on him and all the enemies with a knife in their spine. He used trickery, stealth, disguise, observation, and multiple assassination techniques to do it, which he taught to me."

The Hokage simply listened, since he had lost the ability to speak. The suit and tie man before him had taught Naruto, in a huge sense, how to be an assassin, while also teaching him almost everything he knows. One stray thought entered his mind, and he spoke it without thinking. "How did Naruto disappear like that?"

"That's pretty simple jiji." Naruto said, getting the Hokage's attention and making his face go red from not paying attention. "The answer is…it's a secret." A huge smile got on Naruto's face, making the Hokage face fault. He quickly stood up, coughing before looking back at Naruto.

"So that would cover all but Kakashi and Engineer. What did they teach you?" the Hokage asked them. Naruto's smile grew warm, affecting those around him with smiles on their faces.

"Kakashi-nii-san taught me a lot of shinobi stuff, like chakra, hand seals, taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, even a little sealing and stuff on how to be a good leader. Apparently he was a student of the Fourth Hokage! Isn't that cool jiji?" Naruto asked, giving the Hokage a small smile, even though he knew.

"That is cool Naruto. And what about the Engineer, what did he teach you?" he did not expect the answer Naruto gave him.

"Everything." Naruto said with a happy, contemplative expression on his face. "He taught me everything about being like him. Robotics, physics, wiring, mechanics, particle engineering, a lot of science a math. He also showed me how to build stuff with tools and how to make smart decisions. He even helped me work my new hand." He held his rubber gloved hand close to him, a smaller small on his face before he continued. "But that's not all. Tou-san, along with everyone else, taught me something I hadn't known before. Happiness, friendship, care, love. Tou-san, Kakashi, and everyone taught me how to have a family and people to care for."

The Hokage now had a happy smile on his face as he watched the BLUs hug him (some patting him on the shoulder, etc.) and quietly thought to himself. 'Well Minato, it looks like your dream may come true after all. With his family, he will be a hero to these people.' He waited for them to finish, before talking once more.

"Now Naruto," the Hokage said as he pulled out a paper. He began to write on it as he continued to speak to Naruto. "Since you have been on an extended training trip, I can have you give this to the instructor at the Ninja Academy. Today are the Genin Exams, so you can get in and get it done without having to wait another year. Does that sound okay?" He gave the paper to Naruto, who took it and smiled widely.

"That sounds great jiji! Like I said before I left, I'm taking that hat from you one day. I can't do that while I'm a civilian, can I?" Naruto asked with a foxy grin. The Hokage chuckled before looking at Naruto.

"No Naruto, I don't suppose you can. Now you'll want to hurry, the Exam begins soon." The Hokage said as Naruto put his goggles over his eyes before heading to the door. He looked back at the Hokage before raising a peace sign and grinning.

"Just you wait jiji. I'll be the greatest Hokage ever after this! Believe it!" Naruto said, before rushing out the door. After the door closed, all the BLUs groaned. The Hokage was curious about this.

"What's wrong?" the Hokage asked them. The Engineer looked at him before putting his head in his hands.

"It's that horrible catch phrase. I suggested it to him before we left years ago and he hasn't stopped usin' it since. It nearly drove us all to death!" The Engineer wailed as the Soldier put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"In any case, we gotta go an' move stuff into the old apar'ment you gave us years ago. See ya round oldie!" the Scout said before he ran out of the room at a lightning speed. The others wondered why he was moving so fast, until they turned to the Pyro, who was burning holes into the Hokage with her eyes. The BLUs caught onto this faster than the Hokage did, before running out the door with various excuses:

"Must find sanvich! Sorry for door!"

"Gotta put down a few sentries!"

"Gotta get drunk!"

"I need to find a hospital for vork!"

"Gotta find a sniper nest mate!"

"I need to straighten out new recruits!"

*"Well, off to visit your mother!"**

Now it was just the Hokage and the Pyro, and the Hokage was worried. He asked a question that would lead to a beating he would regret. "S-so…what is it you need Pyro?" His answer was her writing on a paper on his desk. It said words that sent shivers down his spine.

You thought I was guy. I don't know why, but now you die.

Moments later, incredibly girly high pitched screams echoed across the village of Konohagakure for the next half hour.


A couple of minutes later, Naruto had arrived at the Ninja Academy. It was a large 2-3 story building that was primarily white with red and orange panels or roof tiles. Taking a deep breath, he walked into the Academy. He walked around until he found an assistants desk, where he asked where his class was. She either was one of the people who had previously liked him or just didn't care, because she didn't give him a death look when she told him it was on the second floor. After a minute or so, he found the door to it. He paused for a second, before knocking on the door loudly. He heard some say 'come in', before he opened the door and looked inside.

It was a relatively large classroom, with numerous desks on the stairs that led to the front of the class below. There were many students sitting in the classroom, with two chuunin teachers at the front by the main desk and chalk board. One had brown hair tied into a high ponytail with a scar across the bridge of his nose. The other one had extremely white hair to his neck. They all looked at him before he finally spoke. "Uh…is this the classroom of Iruka Umino?"

The brown haired chuunin looked at him strangely before replying, "That would be me. May I ask why you're here?" Naruto quickly stepped in and walked over to Iruka, pulling out a note and giving it to him.

"A note from the Hokage" Naruto said, watching Iruka open the note and read it. His eyes grew wider as he read it, and when he finished, he refolded the note and put it in his pocket. He then turned to the class and began to speak tothem.

"Alright class. With the permission of the Hokage, a new student has been allowed to join us today for the Genin Exams." Iruka said as he watched for the reaction. And boy did he get one. The students began to yell at Iruka, obviously angered. Naruto noticed that a few were not arguing with them.

One was actually asleep; it was a guy with a pulled back pineapple hairstyle with black hair. The one next to him was a chubby kid with orange hair, who was eating chips at an incredible rate. Naruto recognized them as a Nara and Akimich respectively. The other two he noticed were a girl with dark blue hair and solid light lavender eyes, and a guy with black spiky hair, black glasses and a large grey coat covering his face. These two were a Hyuuga and Aburame respectively. The last one looked like the king of emo, with an arrogant look on his face, and black hair that looked like a duck's butt. He was instantly recognized as an Uchiha. He was brought back to earth when he heard multiple loud voices.

"WHAT THE CRAP IRUKA-SENSEI! HOW COME WE GOTTA WORK OUT BUTTS OFF AND HE JUST GETS TO WALK IN HERE!"

"HE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT! HE CAN'T JUST WALTZ IN HERE AND TAKE THE TEST LIKE THIS!"

"A LOSER LIKE HIM SHOULDN'T TAKE THE TEST! HE'LL JUST TRY TO STEAL SASUKE-KUN'S THUNDER!"

Naruto looked over to the people who had shouted the loudest in order. The first was a guy who had red fang like marks on his cheeks, and fangs altogether. He also wore a big black and grey coat on him, and had a small white puppy resting on his head. He recognized him as an Inuzaka.

The next was a girl with incredibly pale blond hale. She wore a purple shirt and skirt, with bandages wrapped around her waist and legs. She was recognized as a Yamanaka.

He looked at the final one to shout, and he immediately felt his blood boil. It was a girl who was a Haruno, as easily seen by her pink hair and the volume of her voice. She wore some sort of pink dress with a giant white circle on it. Naruto had had a huge hate against the Harunos ever since the one woman had tried to take his family away from him. Judging from her looks and attitude, she was the daughter of said woman.

"Well, it was a special note from the Hokage, which says he has been on an extended training trip for the last seven years. So he technically can take the test." Iruka said with an irritated look on his face. This answer seemed to suffice for the Inuzaka and Yamanaka, who had contemplating looks on their faces before they calmed themselves and sent some-what apologetic looks to Naruto. The Haruno however, had to but in with her attitude.

"STILL IRUKA-SENSEI! HOKAGE OR NOT, HE CAN'T JUST WALK IN HERE AND EXPECT TO TAKE IT!" She yelled with anger in her voice. As Iruka was about to give a retort, he heard the new student speak.

"Now hold up. You're saying that just because I'm late for the exams, it means I can't take them? Fine, if you want to defy the Hokage and face an incredibly gruesome punishment, be my guest." Naruto said with slight anger in his voice to the Haruno. As he finished, the whole class saw her pale visibly before she sat down quickly. Iruka had a surprised look on his face as he heard and watched the reaction. 'He actually got her to shut up? That's a first. Brownie points for him.' Iruka thought as he quickly went to address the class again.

"Well, now that the drama is over, you can sit over by Kiba…" Iruka said, finally realizing he didn't know the students name.

"My name is Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki Conagher." Naruto said.

"Well then Naruto, you can go sit by Kiba." Iruka said as he pointed toward the Inuzaka. Naruto nodded before heading up the stairs and took a seat next to Kiba. He sat down, and watched as Iruka explained how there would first be a written part of the exam. As Iruka and his assistant went to get them, Naruto felt a poke on his shoulder. He turned to see Kiba looking at him strangely. He seemed to hesitate before he spoke.

"Hey listen" Kiba said as he looked semi-nervous. "Think we kinda got on the wrong foot. Sorry 'bout before." Naruto simply smiled as he looked at Kiba.

"No problem at all." Naruto said as he saw Kiba brighten up slightly. "If I were you, I think I'd be pretty mad to." He saw Kiba give a smile, showing his canines.

"Thanks." Kiba said as he put out a hand. "Iruka-sensei already said it, but I'm Kiba. Kiba Inuzaka. And this is Akamaru." The puppy now known as Akamaru barked softly so not to be heard by the teachers. Naruto grabbed his hand with his right hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet ya Kiba. I'm Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki Conagher." Kiba slightly grabbed his hand as Naruto let go.

"Nice to meet ya to Naruto. Man, you got a grip! Your hand made of steel or something?" Kiba asked. Naruto chuckled lightly before looking back to the front of the class, where the teachers had found the papers.

"You could say that…" Naruto said, slightly surprising Kiba. Before he could say something however, the teachers started passing out the tests. When the tests were finally passed out, everyone began. Naruto looked over the test, and laughed to himself. 'Man these are too easy.' Naruto thought as he quickly wrote down all the correct answers. Five minutes later, he put down the pencil, put his hands behind his head and sighed. Kiba saw he was done and sat there slack jawed for a moment.

'What the hell? This is a half hour test and he got it done in five minutes? He's either crazy, smart or both!' Kiba thought before quickly refocusing on his test. 25 minutes later, the time was up and the tests were turned in. After 10 minutes, Iruka stood up to give the tests scores.

"Alright everyone, I've graded your papers, and here are the top ten scores. Naruto Uzumaki Conagher with 100; Sasuke Uchiha with 99; Sakura Haruno with 94; Hinata Hyuuga with 90; Ino Yamanaka with 90; Shino Aburame with 87; Choji Akamichi with 81; Kiba Inuzaka with 76; Shikamaru Nara with 69; Shatauri Raujito with 62.***" There were numerous reactions to the scores but mainly with the Sasuke fan girls and Sakura who were yelling at Naruto and Iruka, obviously pissed.

"HOW COULD THAT GUY BEAT SASUKE-KUN!"

"IMPOSSIBLE! THERES NO WAY!"

"NO WAY HE COULD HAVE BEATEN SASUKE-KUN! HE MUST HAVE CHEATED IRUKA-SENSEI! FAIL HIM!"****

"SHUT UP!" Iruka yelled with his big headed jutsu. He looked over at the fan girls and Sakura extremely pissed. He hated fan girls. "Look, the scores were added perfectly so there were no mistakes. Plus we both watched everyone take the test, so we would have seen cheating. Also, I looked over the test, and saw that Naruto had gotten an advanced version of the test instead which he still passed fairly. So, I ask you to shut up or I'll fail you instead." He said menacingly, making the fan girls back down. After that, he explained to them that next was the weapons test.

As he and the rest of the class walked out of the doors to the outside weapons portion, two thoughts were being thought by one Mizuki and Sasuke Uchiha.

'Damn! The Kyuubi brat was still able to pass that test! As long as he fails the other tests, I can still do this.' Mizuki thought as he walked out the door, no expression on his face.

'How did that dobe beat me in that test! I am an Uchiha, I should have gotten that perfect score! I'll find out how you passed, and then I'll take your secrets to kill him!' Sasuke thought as he left the classroom with an extremely pissed look on his face.


Soon they had reached the weapons test area. Iruka explained to them that they would be using weapons to hit the markers put on the logs behind them. The score would be out of ten. Soon the tests went on, and the students began to throw weapons (kunai & shuriken) at the marked logs. After a few minutes, it was Sasuke's turn. He threw the kunai and shuriken, hitting nine out of ten tags. The fan girls cheered for him, making most of the other students and Iruka groan. After he had marked him down, he called Naruto up next. As Naruto walked to the throwing area, he saw and heard an arrogant Sasuke say to him," Beat that dobe." If anyone could have seen behind the goggles, they would have seen Naruto roll his eyes.

Naruto stepped into the area, and as Iruka was about to say go, he heard Naruto interrupt him. "Hey Iruka-sensei, as long as we don't leave the area and we hit the targets, can we use any weapon?" Naruto asked Iruka. Iruka seemed to think about it for a second before replying.

"I believe that would seem acceptable." Iruka said to Naruto, who only grinned and looked towards the logs. After a second, Iruka said he could start, and Naruto pulled out something from the pouch on his belt. Everyone was stunned at what it looked like. It was a strange looking device, which he held by some sort of curved handle. It was black and grey, with numerous carvings in it. It had what appeared to be a large black cylinder in it by the handle, and a small trigger under the long grey part. As they were about to ask what it was, Naruto pulled the trigger on it.

BANG!

A loud bang came from it, sending sparks and a whisp of smoke into the air. They heard a chipping noise, and looked toward it. They were surprised to see a small hole where one of the markers had been.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

He shot multiple times, sending out more sparks and smoke, which created more holes in the markers. He stopped shooting, and flipped out the cylinder, filling it with strange looking metal objects. He closed the cylinder, and lifted it again.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

He shot four more times, making four more holes in the logs. He stopped firing, lifting the weapon before blowing out the smoke and putting it back in his pouch. He looked at Iruka and got a huge grin on his face.

"So Iruka-sensei, do I pass?" Naruto said with the huge grin. Iruka could only gasp without noise as he looked at the logs. They all had multiple holes in them, making it so they could barely stand up. He blinked for a second, before looking back and giving a small smile.

"With flying colors. Naruto Uzumaki Conagher gets 10 out of 10." Iruka said as he marked it down. In the crowd of students, there were multiple expressions. Most of the guys, especially Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji and Shino, had shocked looks on their faces. Hinata and Ino were speechless. The other male students were grumbling about showing off. As for the fangirls and Sasuke, they were fuming. The fan girls for showing up Sasuke, and Sasuke for being beaten again by this nobody.

As Naruto walked up to the group again, Sasuke marched forward with a pissed expression. "Give me that." Sasuke demanded. Naruto feinted confusion as he tilted his head.

"Give you what?" Naruto said in fake innocence, making the guys smirk slightly. This new kid was talking back to the idiot with a stick in his butt. This was gonna be good. Sasuke on the other hand was furious.

"Give me that thing you just used! As an Uchiha, I demand that you hand it over immediately. You don't deserve it." Sasuke barked at him, slightly smirking. Since he was an Uchiha, this fool would kiss his feet and hand that thing over immedia…

"No thanks." Naruto said to Sasuke, shocking him. "There are multiple reasons. One, you don't know how to use it. Two, this is in a sense a family heirloom to me. Three, I just don't like you. And four, your way too emo. So no, you can't have it." The last two reasons had all of the male students laughing on the floor, even Shino was chuckling. Naruto then walked away from Sasuke, getting ready to talk to Iruka. But that didn't happen as he felt Sasuke grab his shoulder.

"If you won't give it, then I'll just take it!" Sasuke said furiously, reaching for the gun in Naruto's belt pouch. Iruka went to stop Sasuke, but what happened next stopped him and everyone else. Naruto, before Sasuke could grab the gun, had grabbed his arm with his right hand, stopping him from taking it. He then started tightening the hold on the arm, making Sasuke scream in pain. He fell to his knees as he couldn't bare the pain in his arm. Everyone just looked shocked as Naruto looked down on Sasuke with a frown.

"You know Sasuke," Naruto said as he tightened the grip, "Where I'm from, we don't appreciate thieves. You know what we do to thieves? We make it so they can't steal again." He tightened more; a small snap was heard as Sasuke screamed in more pain. He dropped his arm as he looked over Sasuke with something akin to disappointment. "Luckily, I'm giving you a second chance, so don't mess it up." He then looked over at Iruka, who had his jaw open. "Hey Iruka-sensei! I think he'll need a medic to check out his arm.

Iruka snapped out of his trance before looking at Naruto. "Alright Naruto. Mizuki, please take Sasuke to the Academy nurse." Mizuki nodded before grabbing Sasuke and running to the nurse. Iruka then looked at Naruto again. "Naruto, while that did seem somewhat appropriate for him, that still was not alright. Please refrain from breaking any more bones, okay?" Naruto nodded, before walking away. As he walked away to the group, he called back to Iruka.

"Iruka-sensei! Just to let you know, I didn't break it. I just snapped it out of place." Naruto called before rejoining Kiba, who was looking at Naruto in something close to awe. Iruka, who after a moment was telling the class that the next test was a taijutsu fight, was thinking wildly in his mind. 'He only snapped it out of place? That shows two things. Naruto knows about the body to be able to snap it out of place, and the Uchiha isn't as strong as he claims he is.'


Minutes later they arrived indoors at the fighting ring. Iruka explained that the rules were no ninjutsu, no genjutsu, no killing, and the person either had to be unconscious or out of the ring for it to count as a win. As he finished explaining, Sasuke had come back in with a few bandages on his arm, it as good as new. He growled inwardly at this, looking over the Uchiha who was smug again. 'Damn it. He only needed it pushed back in place, and yet they treat it like it's a punctured lung.' Getting over his thoughts, he then started to call on students to start the test.

The fights didn't seem to go that long. First was Sakura vs Hinata, and Sakura went down with one hit to the stomach. Every one sweat dropped and thought, 'Man she's weak!' Next was Ino vs. Shino, which went on for a few minutes until Ino forfeited since Shino was draining her chakra. Technically it wasn't ninjutsu, so Iruka let it go. Next was Shikamaru vs Kiba, and Shikamaru forfeited at the start since he said it was troublesome. The next one had been somewhat brutal. It was Sasuke vs Choji, and after about six minutes, Sasuke had kicked Choji in the chest and then head, rendering him unconscious for several minutes. Iruka looked down on this, but had to let it go since he had followed the rules.

Finally after the matches, it was Naruto's turn. However, since everyone else had gone and he was left, someone could choose to fight him. Before anyone else had a chance to, they heard, "I'll fight him!" They turned to see Sasuke with a smug grin on his face. Iruka sighed before he told them to get into the ring. They got into their positions, and then he said they could start. Sasuke got into his families' fighting form, while Naruto got into Sasuke didn't recognize. They circled each other, and Sasuke was the first to speak. "Get ready to lose dobe. This is for humiliating me back there."

Naruto simply snorted at this and looked Sasuke in the eye. "Humiliating you? Please, you did that all on your own." This got some laughter and a smug Sasuke to grow angry.

"Don't you dare laugh at me!" Sasuke yelled, charing forward at what appeared to be chuunin speed. He threw a punch forward, getting ready to end it quickly. What he didn't expect was for Naruto to catch the punch, then pull him to the side and punch him in the stomach. Sasuke, and the rest of the audience, didn't expect for the punch to throw him across the ring, making Sasuke crash and roll on the arena floor before he rolled over the ring side, landing with a loud thud. This got multiple reactions from those watching.

Iruka had dropped his clipboard with surprise written on his face. Most of the guys were either clapping, cheering, laughing, staring in awe or doing a combination of them. Hinata and Ino were too stunned to speak. As for some of the fan girls, most were extremely pissed, especially Sakura. However, a few fan girls were simply standing in shock. They had seen their supposed Sasuke-kun beaten in one punch, and were now rethinking their view on him.

Naruto, who saw these expressions, simply laughed and adjusted his hard hat. He then called over to Iruka who had regained attention. "Iruka-sensei! I'm pretty sure he's down for the count. I win since he rolled out of the arena." He said as he turned to walk out of the arena. Before he could move a few feet however, a yell was heard. "This isn't over! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

Everyone could only watch in horror as they saw Naruto be engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The flames expanded outward, now leaving a medium area in the ring covered in a large amount of flame. Sasuke simply smiled as he watched the flames expand outward, thinking he had beaten the idiot who had ruined his Uchiha pride. He suddenly felt many heated glares into his back, and turned around to see Iruka, Kiba, Choji, Shikamaru, Shino, Ino, Hinata, all the male students, and now many of the fan girls giving looks that could kill. He seemed about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice that shocked everyone.

"I'm still here you know." Naruto's voice said from nowhere, making every one go wide eyed. A loud buzzing sound filled the air, as Naruto suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Sasuke. Before he could even react, Naruto punched Sasuke in the back of head, making him fly forward and land in an unconscious heap. He brushed off his clothes before turning to the crowd, seeing them have their jaws on the floor. He looked at them before saying, "What? There something on my face?" This caused a massive floor fault.

After everyone got back up, Iruka looked at a couple of the students and said," Could a few of you please report this to the Hokage? You'll be excused from the next test, but will have to perform it later." About four of them nodded before running out the door to the Hokage office. He looked back at Naruto, who had a curious expression on his face.

"So does this mean I pass?" Naruto asked, making Iruka sweat drop. He sighed before answering Naruto.

"Yes Naruto. You pass." Iruka said exasperated. He turned to the class and said, "Alright. With this happening, the last test has been temporarily post-poned for today. You can all go home for until we call you back for the test." At this, everyone started to leave. Or at least they would have if a certain pink haired fan girl hadn't spoken.

"IRUKA-SENSEI! WHY IS NARUTO PASSING! HE USED A JUTSU, SO HE SHOULD FAIL!" Sakura yelled, hoping to get Naruto in trouble. This wasn't the case however, as every single person was now giving her an evil glare.

"Sakura Haruno" Naruto said as he stepped forward to her, a stare of eye fire being seen from underneath the goggles," You are probably the most idiotic person I have ever met. One, the Uchiha used a jutsu first, and was kicked out of the arena before that, so he was disqualified. Second, he tried to murder a fellow person of the leaf, so that's an act of attempted homicide. Thirdly," Naruto said as he gave her an evil grin that sent shivers down here spine. "What I did was not a jutsu, so it was perfectly alright to use. So for once, shut up." Not being able to find her words, she simply stood there as she got more glares.

Iruka coughed loudly to get their attention, and he continued. "Now, since we have that covered, everyone is dismissed for the day. Everyone now left without any more interruption. As Naruto began to leave, he was bombarded with questions by Kiba, Shikamaru, Shino, and Choji.

"Holy crap dude! How did you do that? We thought you were dead!" Kiba asked in curiosity, as Akamaru barked with him.

"That was a rather strange display." Shino said, his voiced laced with a SMALL amount of…excitement?

"I'll admit that was pretty weird. For once, this might not be so troublesome to ask about." Shikamaru said with the lazy glint in his eyes gone, now replace with intellectual curiosity.

"Yeah! How did you disappear like that? And how'd you do that punch? That looked way powerful!" Choji asked as he continued to munch on the spinach and garlic chips he had pulled out of nowhere.

Before Naruto could reply however, four ANBU appeared around the ring. The five students watched them as two picked up the unconscious Uchiha and shunshined away. Another put out the fire with a water jutsu, and the last walked up to them. The ANBU stopped in front of them before speaking.

"Conagher-san, you and the other clan children by you have been called by the Hokage to speak with him about the previous events that have occurred" the ANBU said in a masculine voice as he looked over Naruto and the other. Naruto sighed before he looked back up at the ANBU.

"All right. Please tell jiji that well be there in a few minutes." The ANBU nodded before shunshining away. Naruto sighed before looking back at the four clan heirs. He stood for a moment before smiling. "Guess you guys didn't expect this in your first Genin Exams, did you?" Naruto asked while smiling, making the others sweat drop.

"So I guess were headed to the Hokage's office then?" Choji asked, opening another bag of chips.

"It seems like it. Man, how troublesome." Shikamaru said as they began to walk off.

"I thought you just said this wouldn't be troublesome" Kiba said as he looked at Shikamaru confused.

"That was about the questions. But going through all the effort of going to the tower it troublesome." Shikamaru said as he got the lazy glint in his eyes again.

"Due you are the laziest freaking person ever!" Kiba yelled at him, not noticing Shino give an unusual eyebrow twitch.

Naruto simply watched them talk, slightly humored by their antics. He simply listened as they walked on to a meeting that they didn't know would change their lives forever.


Holy crap. That took me all day to write, and I'm pooped. Was hoping to save the Dead Ringer for later in the story, but I couldn't think of anything else. There was maybe that he summoned a Pyro suit onto himself, but that would have conflicted with the rules. Anyway, with the asterisks, here are what they mean:

**One of my favorite quotes from Spy in Team Fortress 2.

***Was a random name I came up with. If it actually means something and you find out, brownie points for you!

****Guess who? Sakura.

I actually notice that as I write these, the chapters are getting longer each time. Tell me please, should I keep it going like this, or shorten it to shorter chapters?

Also! The Pairing poll is back up, so get votes in. Poll ends on the 21st. Seems about right with how long the chapters are getting.

Next chapter: Meeting with the Hokage, and the test you have been waiting for FINALLY FREAKING HAPPENS! See you next time on Meet the Orangineer.

This is Aussie Scum, an' have a g'day mates!
