So I was going to upload a chapter this weekend but I had a lot going on so I hardly had any time to write a new chapter. I will try to update again by the end of the weekend or hopefully early next week. I hope people are enjoying the story thus far.

In this chapter I will have Naruto finish the academy and he will be placed onto a team. I am going to be changing up the Rookie 9 teams, and I will be changing their training as well. I don't like how all the clans only rely on clan techniques so I am going to be changing that slightly.

I think I am going to have Naruto be paired with Kurotschi. That is what I am thinking for now but the pairing won't happen until later.

So now onto Chapter 4. Also I don't own Naruto.

(With Naruto and Sasuke)

Naruto began running at Sasuke and knew he needed to win to prove himself. Once Naruto was close enough to Sasuke he punched out with his left only to have Sasuke block it and follow up with a kick to Naruto's stomach.

"First hit dobe." Sasuke said as he ducked underneath another punch from Naruto.

"Don't worry teme, I will be getting the last hit in" Naruto said as he jumped back and formed a hand sign. "Bunshin no Jutsu" Naruto yelled out and 5 clones appeared around Naruto.

'I thought he couldn't do a clone at all? When did he learn? He wasn't lying when he said he was training. It still won't be enough to beat me. They are only clones. I need to find the real one.'

"Nice try dobe, clones won't help you out at all." Sasuke said as he began to run at the clones and punch them only to have his punches go through all of them. "What the –" Sasuke began as he heard movement behind him and ducked. As he ducked he kicked out his legs only to have Naruto jump over him and land in front of him.

"Nice trick dobe. I heard you couldn't even do a basic clone and you ended up fooling me with one you were able to produce. Maybe you aren't as much of a dobe as I thought"

"We will see who the dobe is after this match, teme!" Naruto yelled at him. Naruto pulled out a sealing scroll and unsealed two smokebombs. Naruto through a smoke bomb onto the ground and leapt into the trees. Naruto knew that if he could finish the trap seal that Sasuke had interrupted he would be able to end this quickly.

Sasuke swore as he saw the smoke bomb go off. He braced himself for an attack, but one never came. 'What is the dobe up to? I doubt he knows any jutsu outside of the 3 academy ones so what good was the smoke bomb? He is only delaying the inevitable.'

Naruto landed on a nearby tree branch and quickly took out his sealing supplies. He only needed a little bit of time before his paralysis seal would be finished. He knew he didn't have a lot of time because Sasuke would start to look for him.

"Dobe where are you? Stop being scared and fight me" Sasuke yelled out.

"Don't worry teme, I'm not scared to fight you, I am just finishing something up and then this fight will be over." Naruto yelled back through the trees. Sasuke frantically searched for his voice.

'It sounded like it came from up above, but how did Naruto get all the way up there that fast? There are no lower branches to grab onto. What is he up to? I know. I will just have to force him out.'

"Whatever dobe, you could never beat me."

"You won't be saying that in a few minutes teme."

There up in one of the trees, Sasuke was sure that was where Naruto was. His voice had given him away. Sasuke smirked as he went through some handsigns.

"If you're not going to come out and fight me then I will just have to force you out dobe. Fire release: Grand Fireball Technique!" Sasuke yelled out as he expelled a fireball from his mouth towards the trees.

'Shit, this isn't good. I need a few more moments to work on my seal.' Naruto thought as he saw the fireball coming towards him. Naruto leapt to another tree to avoid the fireball. 'Damn. I didn't know Sasuke-teme knew elemental jutsu. I need Kabuto-sensei to teach me one. This isn't going to be easy if Sasuke is sptting out fireballs everywhere.'

Naruto began trying to finish the seal as fast as he could. 'I only need another minute it seems. This seal should hold him place long enough for me to knock him out'.

Sasuke fired off another fireball into the tree and began to grow impatient with Naruto.

"Get down here dobe. I don't have all day for this."

"Relax teme, this will be over before you now it."

'Finally I finished it. I hope this seal works. It said it was for low level opponents. I really need to begin the intermediate sealing soon.'

Naruto began running down the tree at Sasuke so that he could finish this fight.

'How is Naruto staying attached to that tree?'

Sasuke didn't have much time to think about it because Naruto was soon in front of him engaging him in a taijutsu battle. Sasuke dodged a punch from Naruto and then a kick shortly after. Sasuke didn't like being on the defensive so he decided to try and end this fight as soon as he could.

As Sasuke began to go on the offensive he landed a few punches on Naruto. He needed to end this. Sasuke kicked out with his right leg only to have Naruto catch it. Sasuke tried to grab his foot from Naruto but found that he couldn't get Naruto to release it. Naruto smirked and then decided to put his plan into action. He grabbed the seal he had on him and pushed it right into Sasuke's chest.

Sasuke saw the piece of paper coming at him and began to panic. He knew Naruto loved to toy with seals and wasn't sure what he had created. Sasuke fell backwards as Naruto's hand slammed into him with the piece of paper. As soon as the seal was attached it began to glow and Sasuke could feel his body tense up and he began to lose all movement.

"Dobe what did you do to me. I can't move. Get this seal off of me!"

"Sorry teme, but it looks like I win this fight. That is just a low level paralysis seal. It will wear off in a few minutes. This was fun. We should do it again sometime teme, but for now I need to go finish some training."

With that Naruto left Sasuke there screaming about how he needed to get this seal off of him and let him go. Naruto chuckled to himself as he ran into the woods and toward his house to work on more seals.

'How did the dobe beat me? I am the rookie of the year? He only got the upper hand because of the seals that he has. But how did he run down that tree. He should have fallen once he wasn't on a branch? How much are you hiding from everyone Naruto?' Sasuke thought as he could finally feel his body responding to his commands again.

(With Kakashi)

Kakashi had been in the trees overlooking the spar that had just taken place and he had to admit he was impressed. Sasuke was indeed worthy of his title of rookie of the year, but he felt that Naruto should not have been dead last. He was going to have to talk with the Hokage about this and see why Naruto was doing so badly.

Kakashi was glad to see that Naruto was taking the time to learn sealing. Kakashi was sure that with enough time Naruto would surpass both his parents in the art. He had seen Naruto's creative pranks before and he knew the best seal masters were the ones with the greatest imaginations.

Kakashi was glad that Sasuke didn't end up winning the spar because it would be good to see that he wasn't the best and that he would need to work on things rather than have everything given to him. What surprised Kakashi the most was that Sasuke knew and elemental justu. Kakashi shouldn't have been too surprised as it had been a signature move of the Uchiha clan when they had been in existence.

After Kakashi saw that Sasuke had gotten movement back he decided to go to the Hokage and tell him abou what he had witnessed.

(With the Hokage)

Hiruzen Sarutobi had been enjoying some peace and quiet and a very rare moment of free time because his dreaded enemy of paperwork had been defeated for the day. This was one of the few times he could relax during the day and enjoy smoking his pipe and reading his books that he gets from his student Jiraiya.

As Sarutobi was reading the book, he felt a presence outside of his window and knew it could only be one of two people, Kakashi or Jiraiya, and with his student out of the village he knew it had to be Kakashi.

"Kakashi-san you can come in. You don't need to sit outside the window. "

"My apologies Hokage-sama for disturbing you but I wished to talk to you privately for a moment if that would be ok?"

"Of course Kakashi-san. ANBU leave us for a moment while I have a talk with Kakashi"

Once the ANBU had left the room Kakashi began to speak freely "Sarutobi-sama I recently ran across two of our academy students having a little spar and I believe you would be very interesting in what I have come across."

"Which two students were sparring? And why was there no one from the academy there to watch them?"

"This was after the academy had been let out and it was between Sasuke Uchich and Naruto Uzumaki sir."

When Sarutobi heard those two names he raised his eyebrows in surprise for a moment but quickly recovered from his shock. "What happened during the spar? Tell me all the details."

Sarutobi listenen to Kakashi tell him about the spar. "Hmm it would appear both of them are talented young students. I wonder though why Naruto has not been doing better in his classes."

"I wondered that as well Sarutobi-sama. I believe it might be because of his interest in seals. He seemed to have progressed through the beginner book quite fast. I believe I should leave him the next level of the book. He has shown that he can make a seal and knows how to apply them in proper situations. Perhaps we could bribe him with the book to get him to cut back on pranking."

"That could also lead to more complex pranks if he were to use the more difficult seals. He is a seal prodigy just like his parents were. It seems Naruto is either hiding his true skills from everyone or someone is hindering his learning at the academy. What do you think Kakashi-san?"

"I'm not sure Sarutobi-sama, the instructor this year is Iruka Umino and he does not appear to hold any ill-will towards the boy. I do not believe he is doing anything to hold Naruto back. I am aware that there has recently been another instructor added to this year's batch of academy students because of all the clan heirs."

"Ahh yes, Mizuki. He is a chunin similar to Iruka. I added him on this year because this class had so many clan heirs that I didn't want the civilian children to get left behind or not given enough attention to. Perhaps you should look into how Mizuki deals with Naruto when he is teaching."

"Hai sir. I was also wondering if you had considered what I had brought up previously in our last discussion about the academy students."

"Yes Kakashi-san I had. I do believe that this year might call for a change of how the teams are made up. I will grant you your wish to have Naruto on your team because it looks like he will continue to be the dead last and with you having the Sharingan the council will want you to teach Sasuke as well. I believe that having those two on the same team will make them both grow stronger because it appears that they already have somewhat of a rivalry appearing."

"What about our third member sir?"

"I have a few ideas in mind but nothing is set in stone Kakakshi-san."

"I understand sir. I will continue keeping tabs on Naruto as well as look into Mizuki."

As Kakashi was about to use the Body Flicker technique Sarutobi stopped him, "I will allow you to give him the next book on sealing, but if he uses the more advanced seals for pranking you will be the one to deal with them."

"Hai, understood sir."

With that Kakashi disappeared in a swirl of leaves leaving Sarutobi to get back to reading his book.

"Now where was I.. ahh yes, the part where they are found in the hot springs…"

(The Next Day- Academy)

Naruto was sitting in the back of the class and he was so involved in his new sealing book that he found left on his bed that he barely noticed that other kids in the class filing in.

Shikamaru, being the smartest of the academy students immediately noticed that Naruto had a new book. 'He must have finished with the beginners level. That was fast. My father said sealing techniques can be extremely difficult to learn and taxing on your chakra. I wonder how Naruto can handle learning those techniques. Naruto why are you so troublesome?'

'Damn the dobe has a new book on sealing. Where does he keep finding these things? I went to the library and they said they books on sealing were left to chunin level ninja or higher. How is Naruto getting these books?' Sasuke thought as he took his seat next to Naruto.

"Hey teme, I see you're able to move around now"

"Hn. Shut it dobe. You got lucky yesterday. It won't happen again. How about a rematch after class today?"

"You're on teme."

'What is going on with those two? They never talk this much to each other and they seem to be getting along somewhat? What happened yesterday? I'm going to have to do some investigating. Troublesome.'

"Alright class listen up. We are going to be splitting into two sections today. One half of the class will be practicing taijutsu with me and the other will be practicing throwing shuriken and kunai with Mizuki-sensei. I want you all to count off. Odds will go with me and even numbers will go with Mizuki-sensei." Iruka said to the class once everyone had sat down.

Iruka could feel an ANBU in the back of the room watching in on the class. 'Hmm.. I wonder why there is an ANBU in the back watching over the room? Maybe the Hokage has sent someone to keep an eye on Naruto. I didn't think his last prank was too bad though. I will have to ask the Hokage after class.'

Kakashi could tell that Iruka had noticed him. 'Hmm.. It seems as though Iruka is more talented than he lets on.'

Luckily for Kakashi Naruto was given an even number so he would be able to observe how Mizuki acted around Naruto.

(Throwing grounds)

"Alright everyone listen up. Today we are going to see how many times you can hit your target with your weapons. The closer you get to the center the more points you will get. Now I want everyone to stand in front of a dummy and put about 15 yards between you and the dummy."

The students all began to line up and Naruto looked around and saw that he was placed with his friend Choji and a few of the other kids in the class who didn't seem to hate him.

There was a boy named Shino who was very quiet and would hardly ever talk. People would usually stay away from him, but Naruto wasn't sure why. He always wore an off green color jacket that hid most of his face as well as his glasses that didn't allow you to see his eyes.

Then there was a girl named Hinata. She had purple hair that was cut very short and she seemed to be extremely shy. She would always get red and look away when Naruto would look at her. Naruto was convinced she was sick and needed to go to the hospital. Her eyes would sometimes freak Naruto out when she would use her doujutsu and have the veins around her eyes bulge out. Naruto almost screamed out the first time it happened.

The rest of the students were all from civilian families and usually avoided talking to Naruto. Naruto took a spot in between Choji and Shino.

Mizuki explained to all the students how to see which hand was their dominant hand and how to throw the different projectiles. If a student was having trouble he would correct it for them.

Kakashi saw that Naruto seemed to be a righty and had the motion of throwing them down pretty well. Mizuki noticed that Naruto was getting the hang of throwing the shuriken and kunai down so he decided to intervene.

"Hey Mizuki-sensei. Am I doing something wrong? You keep looking over at me?"

"No not at all Naruto. I just want to fix your stance and also make sure you are doing it right. Try it more like this." Mizuki said as he made Naruto switch to his left hand as well as hold the shuriken and kunai wrong.

'What is Mizuki doing? Naruto was doing fine before? He must be trying to sabotage Naruto.' Kakashi thought. 'I will need to inform the Hokage of this' and with that Kakashi left to inform the Hokage of his findings on Mizuki.

Once everyone was done throwing the shuriken and kunai they went inside and had the other group come out so that they could now practice.

(Hokage's Office)

"Hokage-sama?" the secretary, Akira, a newly promoted chunin, said as she entered the Hokage's office.

"Yes? What is it?

"It seems as though Kakashi Hatake would like to speak with you."

"Send him in please."

"ANBU you may have a short break as I speak with Kakashi in private" the Hokage said and with that the four ANBU hidden in the room disappeared.

"Sarutobi-sama I have just come back from observing Naruto in the academy interacting with Mizuki."

"Kakashi, the academy ended an hour ago. I may be old but I do remember when the academy gets out. So what is your excuse this time?"

Kakashi sweat-dropped. He should have known that Sarutobi would know when the academy would get out. He used to drop and pick Naruto up when he was younger. "Ah.. well you see there was this old lady and she was attack by a dragon and I-"

"Kakashi-san that is enough. Just get on with your report."

"Ahh yes. So as I was saying. I observed how Mizuki interacted with Naruto today –"

As Kakashi was about to finish his sentence there was a knock on the door.

"What is it Akira? I am in a meeting at the moment?

"Apologies Hokage-sama. Iruka Umino is here to see you. It is about Naruto."

"I think it would be best if Iruka were here as well Saru.. Hokage-sama. This will pertain to him as well."

The Hokage thought about it, and decided to let Iruka in on the conversation. "Alright send him in."

As Iruka walked in he was surprised to see that there was already someone in the room. He also couldn't sense anyone else in the room. 'There aren't any ANBU in this room. His presence seems familiar. But where have I met him?'

"Iruka-san please come in. This Kakashi Hatake. He was just about to tell me about the academy today. It seems as though something interesting has happened."

'He was the ANBU I sensed in the academy today. Why would the Hokage send an ANBU level ninja, especially the famed Copy-cat Kakashi to my class room?'

"I was unaware there was an incident today Hokage-sama."

"Do not worry Iruka, it did not involve you, but rather one of the other instructors and a student. I believe you might have been coming to talk to me about this particular student, Naruto Uzumaki."

"Yes Hokage-sama. I sensed an ANBU in the room earlier this morning and I was not sure if it was because Naruto had pulled another prank or not. I know he has started to show in interest in fuuinjustu so I was not sure if he somehow had gotten himself into trouble again."

"I am impressed Iruka-san not many people could sense an ANBU level ninja hiding in the class room. How did you know he was there?" Kakashi asked

"Thank you Kakashi-san. I am somewhat proficient with barrier techniques and I have one set up in the classroom to help protect from intruders and I also have some skill in sensing people."

"Iruka-san you do not need to be modest. You are very good with your barriers, and your ability to sense people is well beyond your rank of Chunin. I have told you many times I believe you would make a fine jonin but you still refuse to take the test." The Hokage said as Iruka somewhat embarrassed being praised from the Hokage. "Iruka was placed in charge of this batch of academy students because of his abilities that he has. His sensory abilities are close to those of a jonin Inuzaka. He is one of the only ones who can find Naruto after all."

"Very impressive Iruka-san. I am glad you are here at the moment because I was here to talk about Naruto and it pertains to you as well. I noticed today that while Naruto was training with throwing weapons with Mizuki he was doing quite well on his own, but once Mizuki noticed this he made Naruto switch throwing hands and have him change his stance, ultimately messing Naruto up."

Upon hearing this the Hokage immediately began releasing some of his killer intent, while Kakashi was used to this level of killer intent, Iruka was not and he began to sweat under the pressure of it.

"Hokage-sama. Please calm down." Kakashi said. He was just as angry as the Hokage was, but he knew that if he released killing intent as well Iruka might pass out from not being used to it.

"Mi-mizuki? Why would he do that to Naruto?" Iruka said while trying to regain his composure.

"Iruka-san I believe you know the answer to that already. It is because of what Naruto holds. Mizuki, it seems, is trying to sabotage his learning and get him killed as soon as he becomes a ninja." The Hokage said.

"Mizuki always seemed so nice and seemed to enjoy working with the other student. I had no idea."

"Sar- Hokage-sama. Perhaps we should switch Mizuki to another class and possibly have another chunin take over for him for the time being."

"I suppose you are right Kakashi-san. I will still have ANBU keep an eye on Mizuki for a while to see if he tries to harm Naruto in any way. Now Iruka do you know of any other instructors who would be able to help you teach?"

"Unfortunately no, Hokage-sama. I believe that most of the other teachers might hinder Naruto's learning. I am not sure what we should do."

"That is troubling indeed Iruka. For now I want you to continue teaching the class as best you can and I will try to find a replacement for Mizuki." The Hokage said. "Kakashi, for now I want you to tail Mizuki and see how he acts when he is moved. Iruka if you have any other problems or concerns please come to me right away. If that is all you are both dismissed."

"Hai Hokage-sama" Kakashi and Iruka both said as they both began to walk out.

(In the hallway with Iruka and Kakashi)

"Iruka-san I am glad to see that you treat Naruto as you would any other student."

"Of course Kakashi-san. I know that Naruto is not the demon. Though the demon killed my parents I can hate the demon without hating Naruto. I know that Naruto holds the demon at bay and I trust in the Yondaime-sama's sealing abilities."

Kakashi was glad to hear that Iruka saw Naruto for Naruto and not the demon. Kakashi decided to help Iruka out.

"Iruka I am extremely curious about your sensing abilities as well as your barrier abilities. I myself have never been one for barriers, though I do find them extremely useful. Perhaps you would like to spar a little bit and possible trade some ideas?"

Iruka was shocked. Here was an elite jonin, the famed Copy-cat ninja, Sharingan Kakashi asking him, a lowly chunin academy teacher to spar and swap ideas with him.

"Uhh I am not sure I would have much to teach you Kakashi-san. You are one of the best in the village next to the Hokage and the Sannin."

"Non-sense Iruka-san. You can always improve. So how about it? A nice friendly spar on training ground 7 in about 30 min?"

"Sure I mean I have a few hours before I need to grade the papers from today."

Little did Iruka know that he would be waiting for Kakashi for those few hours he had to spare.

(Academy- time skip 1 month to graduation)

Iruka was exhausted. He had had another training session last night with Kakashi. Man was he good. Iruka could now land a few hits on him, but when Kakashi took it serious, Iruka was extremely outmatched. Iruka had grown leaps and bounds with his knowledge on ninjutsu and genjutsu, two areas where he was slacking slightly. Now that he had been training with Kakashi he had picked up a few tricks from him as well as created some of his own with Kakashi's help.

Iruka couldn't help but think that it was all due to Naruto that he was getting stronger. If he wasn't so concerned with Naruto's well being he never would have run into Kakashi. Iruka decided he was going to take the Jonin Exams this time around and he was sure he would pass with flying colors. Once Iruka passed the exams he would be able to take harder missions and maybe even a genin squad.

Iruka was so tired from training that he had failied to notice a seal that was placed on his chair as he was sitting down. When he sat down he was suddenly covered in glue and feathers. "NARUTO!" Iruka yelled as the class burst out laughing. Iruka glared at Naruto who just sat there with a big smile on his face. "Naruto you have detention after class today and we will be talking to the Hokage after detention."

Iruka excused himself for a moment to get cleaned up and had his assistant, Izumo, step in to help with the class.

"Izumo please start todays lesson while I go get cleaned up"

Izumo and Kotetsu, the two chunin gate guards had rotated shifts working at the academy while Mizuki was stuck doing gate duty for the past few months. The kids had grown to like their two new assistant professors as they were very funny and had even helped Naruto pull a few pranks after class. Izumo and Kotetsu began to stress the importance of teamwork to the academy students and told them stories about how their teamwork helped them take down people far better than they.

Most of the students were in awe while they would listen to the stories that they would tell. Almost all of the students began to understand the importance of teamwork. The only student that still seemed skeptical was Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke believed he wouldn't need anyone else to help him fulfill his life goal. He believed that if his hatred for his brother grew enough he would be strong enough. Sasuke had slowly started opening up to Naruto as they had become sparring partners after classes at the academy. Sasuke would win the majority of the time but Naruto would always think up crazy strategies to help him win. Sasuke wouldn't admit it but Naruto was his closest friend and vice versa. Sasuke still didn't talk to most of the other students but he found that he had fun when he would spar with Naruto over the past few months and he had become stronger. He still didn't understand why Naruto hid his strength during class because he was easily the second strongest boy in the class.

Sasuke had learned from Naruto as Naruto had learned from Sasuke. Over the course of the few months Sasuke learned to become unpredictable in his strategies and to think outside of the box more, while Naruto learned a little more about planning ahead and what a good strategy can do for you. Naruto also learned the Great Fire Ball Technique from Sasuke and Sasuke learned a little on seals. Sasuke was still learning from the beginners book because he didn't have the natural talent that Naruto had had at it.

"Alright class now that I am back from getting the glue and feathers off of me we can begin our taijutsu portion of the class" Iruka said as he walked back into the room. The students couldn't not wait until the month was over and they had their own genin exams and became fully fledged ninjas.

(One Month Later- Graduation Day)

Today was the Genin Exam for the academy students and they were all excited. Most of them knew they would be able to pass. Naruto was excited because now he would finally be able to become a ninja. No more academy.

Naruto waited to hear his name called as he had to perform the three standard academy justu for the instructors. When Naruto's turn finally came he couldn't have been more happy. He was finally going to show them that he wasn't the dead last they thought he was.

Naruto performed the Henge, Kawarimi, and Bunshin Techniques flawlessly and was given his headband by Iruka who had a proud smile on his face. Naruto couldn't help but start tearing up. He had finally done it. He had become a ninja.

After everyone had gone through the test, they told everyone to come back tomorrow to get placed into their teams. Naruto was so excited. He wondered who was going to be placed onto his team. He hoped people that he would like.

(The Next Day-Academy)

Finally team placements had arrived. Naruto was on the edge of his seat waiting for Iruka-sensei to come in and given him his team placement.

Iruka walked in with a list in his hand.

"Quiet down everyone. Here I have the team placements. I want to say congratulations to the twenty seven of you who passed the genin exam. You will all make fine ninja one day. I am going to start with Team 1 …. Team2…. Team 3….. Team4…"

Naruto wondered when he would hear his name. He could barely contain himself. He wanted to meet his new sensei and teammates.

"Team 7 will be led by Kakashi Hatake and it will be made up of Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto Uzumaki,.."

Finally Naruto's name was called. He couldn't have been more happy. He was also on a team with Sasuke-teme, but over the past few months they had sparred and shared some moves with each other so they had become somewhat of friends. Naruto looked over at Sasuke and Sasuke nodded to Naruto acknowledging that he was fine with having Naruto on his team."

"Naruto pay attention. This concerns your team" Iruka yelled.

"As I was saying the final member of Team 7 is Shikamaru Nara."

A/N: So I switched up Team 7 and the other teams will be slightly switched around as well. Sorry this took me so long to write. I will try to update again in a few days.

I know some of you might be wondering why Naruto and Sasuke would train together after the academy but like I said my story will have Sasuke be slightly different than how he is in the rest of the anime or manga. I will explain this next chapter as well when I show a flashback.

Also I feel as though Iruka definitely has a lot of hidden skills. He used to find Naruto constantly and he was the only one who would be able to. That is why I made him a good sensor. Also we know Iruka is good with barriers so I am going to include that later on as well. Iruka will be playing more of a role in this story later on. Also Iruka practicing with Kakashi was something I wanted to toy around with and I will do a flashback to some of their training when the time comes so you can see how Iruka has grown. I feel as though Iruka doesn't get used as much as he should have.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please let me know what you think of the chapter and what I could possibly change or maybe incorporate later on down the line.

Next chapter you will get to know what the other teams are and you will get to see the Bell Test as well as the new training I have thought up for the genin. The rookies won't be overpowered but they won't be as weak either. Hope you guys liked it.
