Author's Note: I create some new jutsus so if you don't like it, well tough luck. And I don't know the Japanese translation.
Chapter 2
Becoming Genins
The sun shone brightly in the blue sky, there weren't any cloud to be seen. Two Konoha Chunins stood as sentries of the Hidden Leaf village's eastern gate.
"Is that Jiraiya-sama and Naruto-sama?" One of the two Chunin guards asked. What he saw were two males.
The older ninja stood about six feet four. He possessed black eyes and opposing long white spiky hair that fell to his waist. He had two thin red stripes that fell from his eyes to his jaw. He wore a fishnet shirt as the first layer of his clothing; the second layer contains a green long-sleeved shirt and pants with a sleeveless red coat on top of it. His footwear was a pair of red wooden slippers.
The younger boy stood four feet eleven. His blond hair fell to the end of his neck with side bangs that now fall a little lower than his ears, he has piercing blue eyes that could make any girls from age ten to twenty beg for his attention but were covered with a red fox mask without any eye holes. The mask has a seal that allows the wearer to look outside. He wore a black, thick, long sleeved, tight shirt over a sleeveless muscle shirt. As for his legs and feet, a black long and loose shirt and a pair of black boots were worn. Dark golden metal pads covered his elbows, chest, belly, back, knees, shins, forearms, and thigh. A sheathed sword was strapped to his back.
The sword had a titanium blade with a strong golden coating. It had a black square guard, black leather handle and a black hilt. In the middle of the hilt, a golden Konoha logo stuck out.
Over the years of training and travelling, Naruto Namikaze's ability had grown. His stamina and chakra reserves where Kage ranked. His Ninjutsu and Taijutsu were now low Chunin level while his Genjutsu was Genin level. The blond mainly expertise in Fuinjutsu and Kenjutsu which were high Chunin leveled. He now had seven elemental ninjutsu in his arsenal in total: Wind Style: Great Breakthrough, Wind Style: Gale Palm, Wind Style: Whirlwind Fist, Wind Style: Godly Winds from the Mountains, Wind Style: Piercing Wind, Wind Style: Tornado Slash, and the strongest of them was Naruto's own creation, the Kage ranked assassination Wind Style: Supreme Air Strike. He also knew the famed jutsu of the Yondaime Hokage: Rasengan.
"You must be imagining, they aren't supposed to arrive for another year, your imagination is nothing a good bottle of sake can't fix." The other guard said, before taking a big gulp from his bottle.
"Finally I'm home!" The blond fox masked boy shouted enthusiastically, flickering on the hokage face with Jiraiya.
"We need to meet the Hokage first, Naruto." The white haired sage said as he disappeared away.
"Hey sensei." Jiraiya greeted, flickering on the window behind the Sandaime.
"I need to talk to you." Jiraiya told the Sandaime. As he felt the presence of Anbu he added "Privately." The hokage then motioned his bodyguards away.
"How's Naruto" Hiruzen asked his student.
"Good, he's around Chunin level, he can control two tails of the Kyubi, with it, he'll be around Jonin, but Naruto needs to be placed on a team." Jiraiya replied.
"Why?" Hiruzen asked, looking up from his paperwork.
"Because I can't train him, I'm busy, I might come back in another two or three years, anyway, I've intelligence that Orochimaru is establishing a village called Otogakure north of our Kingdom. But that's the least of our worries; Ame had already controlled Kusa and Taki, making them the sixth strongest shinobi kingdom in one month. The leader of Ame calls himself Kamikage, there are rumors that he single handedly defeated Hanzo, the salamander, and what's more bad news is that he wields the Rinnegan." Jiraiya reported.
"Rinnegan… Don't tell me its him!" Hiruzen exclaimed as he went through his fading memories.
"Yes, Nagato Uzumaki, but now he goes by the name of Pain." Jiraiya stated.
"Is there anymore news?" The Sandaime Hokage asked.
"The Land of Ice is starting its own elemental kingdom, their capital is known as Yukigakure, they're hiring samurais to guard their kingdom while they start their own shinobi armies, we've heard that Iwa had placed twelve of their finest Anbu platoons around there. The Mizukage also requested our help against the armies of Kumo that is waiting to invade them after the civil war is over. Ame is also preparing to invade Suna before they come after us. And Pain is one of the Akatsuki members." Jiraiya added.
"Hmm… I'll have Naruto be placed on a team with Sasuke Uchiha when he graduates so that it will increase the percentage of the Uchiha's survival. And how is he progressing with the Flying God Thunder?" Hiruzen asked.
"He gets confused when he sends out multiple kunai, other than that, he's great, it might take a few more months for him to master it." Jiraiya informed his sensei.
"Where are you going?" Hiruzen asked.
"I'm going to find out more about this soon-to-be world war. And an advice, ally with Suna, Kiri, and maybe Yuki, Suna has air forces while Kiri has the navy, Yuki has strong bloodlines that can control ice and snow, and we have the ground troops." Jiraiya said before leaving the room.
"Hmm…" Hiruzen sighed before he picked his writing brush and started to write messages.
"So the Hokage wants to have an alliance with Suna, Yuki and Kiri, Ame is now the sixth elemental nation, Kumo is about to attack Kiri, and Iwa is about to attack Yuki. I have no choice but to sign this alliance. Maybe the Shukaku could prove its usefulness in this war…" The Yondaime Kazekage read out quickily. He then stamped the Suna logo on the bottom of the paper, confirming the alliance.
Similarly, the other two countries quickly signed the papers.
The next day, the sun light beams penetrated through the light yellow curtains in Naruto's room and shone on the young blond's face. Naruto Namikaze was staying in a five-stared hotel the hokage had rentedt for him. The place was a hundred and sixty feet squared, which was broken into four sections. One was the living room; another was the bathroom and toilet with a small wooden wall and a door that separates the two. The other two sections are the bed and kitchen/ dining room.
"Stupid sun…" Naruto groaned as he pulled himself out of bed. He stripped himself naked from his pajamas and headed into the shower, stepping into the ice-cold rain.
After the shower, he slipped into his Anbu-like outfit before making himself some tuna sushi and tea for breakfast.
"So… the academy... nothing could be more boring." Naruto said as he flickered away.
The scarred Chunin, Iruka Umino, taught the classroom 201 with many clan heirs and heiresses. Before the teacher arrives, the class was more like a battleground for students who fought with wooden kunai and shurikens.
Sasuke Uchiha sat quietly at his place, his elbows on the table with his hands clasped as chaos raged around him while many girls surrounded him.
The classroom was too chaotic that no one noticed a fox masked blond enter the classroom.
"Class, settle down!" Iruka Umino yelled. The students then immediately sat down.
The Chunin wore standard Chunin flak jacket with navy shinobi clothing and sandals. A scar ran horizontally through across his nose.
"Class, this is Naruto Namikaze, son of the Yondaime." Iruka announced as he motioned for the blond. Murmurs ran through the classroom.
"Sensei, why is he wearing the Anbu uniform, if one of us is to wear the uniform, it should be the elite Uchiha warrior, in other words, me!" A duck ass hair styled student shouted, standing up. He possesses onyx eyes that will one day unleash the bloodline, Sharingan. He wore blue short-sleeved shirt with white short pants and black ninja sandals.
"The only thing elite about you is your ignorance of the fact that you're not strongest ninja who ever lived." Naruto said. As the class heard this they unleash a roar of laughter. Sasuke then gritted his teeth angrily before stomping his butt on the chair.
The day went slowly for Naruto Namikaze, the teacher taught about chakra molding and all those boring stuffs.
"Finally!" Naruto thought out loud as the final bell of the day rang.
Three boys walked up to the blond. One of them had his hair like a pineapple; he had brown eyes and an earring dangled down his left ear. He wore a fish net shirt and black pants with black sandals. Another was an Inuzuka by the two red stripes down his cheek and black silted eyes, he has spiky dark hair that was prevented by a pair of green goggles to fall on his forehead. He wore a grey fur lined coat with a hood that was pulled over his head to hide his white floppy eared dog. For pants he wore a greyish black pants that fell to his calve with black ninja sandals. The last boy was a chubby one. He has orange hair that's pulled back by a pair of green academy goggles; on his cheeks were two red swirls. He wore a green long-sleeved jacket with brown pants. In the boy's hands were a bag of potato chips.
"Hey, Naruto, is it?" The pineapple haired boy asked the fox masked boy. Naruto nodded, motioning the boy to continue. "What you said to Sasuke was pretty funny, I can't stop myself from laughing and I rarely laugh. Anyway do you want to hang out with us?"
"Really?" Naruto asked the boy.
"Sure, you could teach us a thing or two about jutsu, maybe we could help you too." The Inuzuka boy said.
"Hey Shikamaru, can we hang out with Naruto too? Its not like we like him more than Sasuke-kun, or we think he's stronger, we just want to know more about him." A girl asked. She had pink long hair and emerald eyes. She wore a red dress that fell to her knees and black pants and black sandals.
Behind her was a blond girl with aqua eyes. She wore a short purple vest like blouse with a raised collar, a skirt that was cut off on the sides and bandage on her stomach and legs. She also wore purple and white elbow warmers.
"He looks strong but never judge a book by its cover." Ino told the pink haired girl.
"We'll see about that. How about we arrange a fight between Naruto and Sasuke?" Sakura suggested. Shikamaru and the rest immediately agreed with the idea.
"Do you mind if I come watch as well?" another boy asked. He wore a dark green long-sleeved coat that fell to his knees, matching colored pants and a green coat over it. A pair of sunglasses covered his eyes.
A girl stood behind him, trying to hide behind the Aburame heir. Her hair was in a short, leveled hime-cut style just above her forehead, with chin-length strands framing her face. She wore a cream-colored hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem, with navy blue pants.
"How are you going to get him to come here?" Shikamaru questioned.
"We'll take care of that." Sakura told the group as she and Ino left the academy and towards Sasuke's house.
"Sasuke! Everyone now thinks that Naruto is stronger than you, an elite Uchiha warrior!" Ino shouted. Second later, the raven-haired Uchiha burst out of the door, his handsome face contorted into an expression of rage.
"I'll show them who's stronger! Where is he?" Sasuke growled, staring angrily at the two girls.
"The sparring area in the academy." Sakura squeaked. Sasuke then sped away.
Less than five minutes later, Sasuke sped into the academy, sprinting as fast as he could.
"So Naruto Namikaze… what makes you thinks you're stronger than an elite Uchiha warrior?" Sasuke growled, his eyes on fire.
"Sasuke Uchiha, you lived through a life of loneliness, I can't imagine what that would feel like. You had witnessed your own beloved brother murder your parents in front of your own eyes… I do not wish to fight you… In fact, I actually kind of I respect you…" Naruto stated.
"Hmph, my lonliness and hatred does not matter! I cannot have people thinking I am weak! I will crush you!" Sasuke shouted.
"I hope that we can be friends after this..." Naruto said, smiling, but then quickly went into a taijutsu stance. The audience started to grow around them.
"Doubt it…" Sasuke replied, his hands already forming hand signs.
"Fire Style: Fire ball jutsu!" The Uchiha said, inhaling as much as his small mouth could hold. He then exhaled a large ball of fire at Naruto. The blond merely flickered away, seeming extraordinarily calm for someone in a fight.
The Uchiha used his shinobi instinct and turned and struck a strong roundhouse kick, aiming for Naruto's head. The blond put his forearm up to dodge the ferocious kick.
Sasuke followed it up with a series of hand signs "Fire Style: Dragon flame jutsu!" The Uchiha roared, exhaling a fire dragon from his mouth.
"Crap!" Naruto thought, thinking of a way not to die.
"Burn, you arrogant fool!" Sasuke thought as he saw a burning Naruto on the ground. Before he could declare himself the winner, the burning blond exploded into smoke and was replaced by a leaf.
"Up here!" The fox masked boy yelled as he was descended from the sky, running through hand signs. "Wind Style: Piercing Wind!" The blond yelled as he held his hands out, releasing a focused spinning tornado that shot down at Sasuke.
Sasuke rolled to the side, barely dodging the tornado. Even with the dodge, Sasuke actually received cuts on his arm and cheek from the strong jutsu.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire jutsu!" Sasuke yelled mentally as he started inhaling. Several fireballs were hurled at the dodging Naruto. After Sasuke had finished exhaling the last fireball, he noticed that Naruto had vanished. Behind him he heard "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" The Uchiha turned and crossed his forearms, trying to block the worse of the jutsu as a strong blast of wind hit him. Sasuke only managed to maintain his defensive stance for a second before he was threw into a tree.
"It was a close fight but there is a reason why I'm standing. I use determination to achieve my goal while you use hatred if you continue yours. If this continues, you'll never win." Naruto said.
Sasuke just stood up and walked home, his head lowered in embarrassment and anger.
"Well that's done." Naruto said after Sasuke was out of sight. "Will you go out with me, Sakura, it is?" Naruto asked the pink haired kunoichi after the crowd had dispersed. The only people left other than Naruto were Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Choji.
"I'll never go out with you! You pervert! You embarrassed Sasuke!" Sakura shouted as she shot her fist out at the fox masked blond's face. Naruto merely rotated his body so that Sakura's arm would go parallel with his body.
"Please, Sakura." Naruto begged as he ducked to avoid her right hook, Sakura, expecting this, swung her right leg, aiming for his side. As the leg made contact, Naruto replaced his body with a log. The pink haired kunoichi quickly spun her body and charged at Naruto again, this time, one of her foot hit a rock and she ended up diving into Naruto's body who held out his arms to catch her. When she realized what had happened, she shoved herself out of Naruto's arms before she running away.
"Maybe next time, Naruto, anyway teach me how you do that flickering thing? I can't get it right." Kiba requested.
"Naruto Namikaze, the council wants you." A dog masked Anbu requested. Naruto then flickered away to the council meeting area.
"Naruto, what's the meaning of this?" An old lady asked. She wore a long kimono under an obi jacket. Her grey hair was tied in a twin bun.
"What would have happened if the last Uchiha were to be badly damaged?" An old man asked. He had grey hair (no doubt) and spectacles. He wore a white robe that fell to the ground.
"It wasn't that bad, all he suffered were a few cuts and a blast of wind." Naruto replied.
"Do you know what could have happened if Sasuke kept this up?!" Koharu told the blond.
"He would be injured but nothing that serious." Naruto stated.
"But that would be ridding our village off the Sharingan, the strongest Dojutsu in the world. Because of your recklessness, you are now banished." Koharu countered.
"What?" The whole council shouted, shocked.
"Fine, I'll leave today, I'm pretty sure 'Kumo' or 'Iwa' would like to get their hands on the Flying God Thunder, a jutsu that could kill thousands of soldiers in a few seconds." Naruto said as he turned to leave.
"Wait, I'm sorry, that was out of line." Koharu apologized the blond who smirked.

One year has passed, this time the class in total silence unlike the previous days when they would be doing something so chaotic. The reason was simple, they were nervous about taking the Genin test.
"Good morning class, if I call your name, please come into the head master's office." Iruka instructed. One by one, the students left the room.
"Congratulations, everyone, you pass." Iruka announced five hours later, everyone's nervousness immediately disappeared and they started to toss each other into the air.
"Settle down, class, I'll have to tell you your teams." Iruka announced, at hearing this, the class quickly sat down. He then started handing them out their headbands with the color they wanted. As for Naruto, the blond drew the insignia on his palm and used a Fuinjutsu to permanently engrave it onto his helmet.
"Team seven, for assassinations and scout, Naruto Namikaze, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, your Jonin leader is Kakashi Htake, you'll have to wait for him here." Iruka announced, at hearing the Copy Cat ninja's name, he smiled, hoping to beat his old sensei.
"Team eight, for tracking and combat, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame. Your sensei is Kurenai Yuhi, she'll be upstairs on the roof." Iruka announced.
"Team nine, backup team, Kana, Kaiji, and Kaori, you are to train to your very best, but don't worry your sensei is Ryu Raiden." Iruka announced, the whole class gasped. Ryu Raiden was the strongest and fastest ninja in Konoha other than Yondaime, he was as strong as the Sandaime Hokage in his old age. He used a mixture of lightning speed and Taijutsu to land insane amount of damages to his opponents.
"Team ten, for ambush and sentry, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi, your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi. Your new senseis will pick you up, and then you mat leave. That's all." Iruka finished.
Hours later, Team Seven sat in the same room, bored to death
"Kakashi sensei's so late! I wonder if he's even fast enough to be a Jonin!" Sakura complained, they were the only Genins in the room.
"Well, at least I'm faster than you." A voice replied. Naruto instantly recognized it. It was Kakashi Htake, Konoha's Copy cat ninja's voice.
