Time for chapter three, thanks for the reviews, I so now own Naruto in any way.

"Speech"

'Thought'

"Whispers"

Stressed word

-First day of learning..... uh-

Naruto stopped at the academy's gates, the older students looked at hm once then ignored him as he looked at the building, while parents guided their smaller children away from him.

'I'm baaaaack, hehehe *sigh* do I even have to learn this time around?' Over the last few weeks Naruto had decided to change his outfit, or was more like forced to...

Flashback

The blond lounged on a sofa in the Hokage's room of the tower, just before he lost consciousness an aged hand shook his shoulder.

"What do you want old man." He moved to a sitting position and rubbed his eyes.

"Naruto I know you want to keep your henge on but the fact remains that you're getting older, I think it's time you changed your wardrobe."

"No way this is my favorite color!"

"I'm willing to let you keep your orange but you need to realize that when you do become a true ninja you'll need to darken your clothes."

"but wasn't the fourth known for wearing a white overcoat?"

"you aren't the fourth, nor do you have his level of skill."

"I still ain't wearing those." He gestured to the bundle in the Hokage's arm."

"you haven't even seen them!"

"I don't need to see them."

"So help me Naruto if you won't at least try these on I'll put a seal on you that will make all ramen you eat tasteless!"

End Flashback

'He didn't have to be so cruel about it.'

Naruto now wore an orange jacket with long comfortable sleeves, black pants, and black sandals, his pair of goggles once again sat on his forehead.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" An arrogant voice asked behind him, he snapped out of his daze. Behind him was a man in a silver robe with his black hair combed to the left side, he looked very important and looked at the boy as if he was beneath him.

"Hey, how's it goin' Yarshi?"

"Don't speak to me like that, you will address me as Nanbu-sama, now answer my question; I had believed that we had seen the last of you?!"

"Can't get rid of me that easily; I'm a new first year Bu-Chan." Naruto grinned back.

"Insolent....... get out of my sight." He walked into the building quickly silently cursing the boy.

'How did he get his position?' Naruto glanced at the school once more before heading for his room. '103, 104, no..... 108, no.... ah here, room 112.' Putting on a beaming smile Naruto threw the door open.

"No, it's true!" The teacher of the class stepped back and held up his arms, mixed emotions showed on his face, the kids that were early tilted their heads in curiosity.

"Weird, I thought Iruka-sensei would teach me again?"

"N-no he won't be teaching you, he's been assigned to a third year class, now Uzumaki please go to your seat." The blond slowly moved to the back seats now confused.

'He's... jittery; was the fox attack really that bad, or is this because of my pranks?' On the board behind him was the man's name. Kurai, Dangai.

'It's that kid, why do I have to have that one?!' Dangai was 22, had dark brown hair and was in Konoha's standard Chunin outfit, he was originally from the Sand village but moved to Konoha last year, he had heard stories of this boy when he was a teacher's aide last year but only about his pranks as speaking of his demon was forbidden. The main reason the man left Sand was because he was promoted to bodyguard of the village's Kage; but after two weeks of being around the village's living weapon Dangai eagerly left for Konoha. He was one of the few to come back alive from that job.

'Whatever, maybe he'll be nice like Iruka.' The rest of the class filled in and class began.

"Good morning, my name is Kurai, Dangai; I would like to welcome you to the start of your Ninja life now I'm going to explain how the class works...." The children present stared wide eyed as if every word was important Naruto tuned them out moving on to something that had bugged him; Sakura.

'Should I really be going for her, she always tells me how much she likes....no, stop thinking like that if I give up so easily then I'm not worthy of her!'

'Is she truly that important to you?'

"Huh." The teacher was still going over rules and everyone was focused on on the lecture. 'What was that?' There was no replied.

"...and when the test and homework grades are averaged that will be your grade, if you get less than a 55% at the end of the year you must retake this year." The seven year olds turned to Naruto.

"Leave me alone!" They quickly turned away.

"Well the rules are finished, for your first day we are going to have some friendship building, everyone go around and talk to everyone him the room at least once." All of the students pushed back their chairs and left them to meet their classmates.

'This is so weird.'

"Hey, uh who are you." A small boy with black hair was looking up at Naruto, the rest of the class gathered around, Naruto stepped back and a grin covered his face.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage!"

"Mommy says.... that uh... you're evil." The others gasped at the news. "She said you hurt my daddy." They then backed away from him and left him alone in the back corner of the room.

'Oh come on, what was that like 4 seconds!!!' Naruto stayed in the back until lunch listening to seven year olds say hi to each other, repeatedly.

*Gong!*

"Finally!" The children jumped at his voice.

"You're free to have lunch like I told you." They rushed out of the room to the court yard to eat their lunch boxes. "Uzumaki-san could I talk to you." The blond stopped in mid sprint.

"Uh... sure."

"I've heard of your past pranks would you please not set a bad example for the other students."

"Not on your life."

"You brat, listen to your teacher!"

"You aren't the first to use that line." He walked away from Dangai without a care.

'That boy's parents need to teach him some manners, besides I'm sure they exaggerated his jokes, he is a failure after all.'

In the main office of the building Chairman Nanbu was talking in a meeting.

"What do you mean it doesn't matter?"

"The council doesn't fear the boy now; he cannot get any stronger until he graduates, if he ever does. By the time he is forced under a Jounin's care Sasuke-sama will already be strong enough to take on the beast, he is the hope of the village."

"Would he be able to fight the Kyuubi and win in at least five years?"

"Do you doubt the Sharingan?!"

"No, no but that just seems a bit of a stretch."

"It took one man, the fourth, to defeat it the first time. And Sasuke-sama is the prodigy of his generation…."

"You think he will be as strong as the Yondaime in five years?"

"No, he will be greater, Sasuke-sama has a bloodline unlike that man, and we have no fear of the demon child now."

Down at the first floor Naruto made his was to his old classroom, he opened the door and Iruka stood with his back to him as he cleaned the blackboard.

"Iruka-sensei!" He turned to the voice with smile.

'*Sigh* I shouldn't be happy he's back, he should have passed.' Shaking away his thoughts, Iruka moved to the Jinchūriki. "Hey, how's your first day?"

"What do you think, they're seven."

"Right, but you surprised me, not many kids retake the academy."

"I have a dream, I won't let his stop me."

"As long as you know what you're doing." Naruto finished his lunch with Iruka and returned to class, the remainder of the day was spent getting to know each other, the final bell rang and Dangai followed the class out.

'I'd like to see that boy's parents.' He looked out among the crowd of parents and student to see an orange figure waling down an empty street. Several hours later he sat in a local bar, several other ninja were there as well, he was about to take another shot of sake when two other teachers sat at his table.

"What's up Kurai-san?"

"Ah, nothing just relaxing, one of my students is already getting to me."

"On the first day, must be the demon brat."

"Who?"

"Uzumaki."

"Why would you call him that, he didn't do anything, I just didn't like his attitude; his parents must be really irresponsible to let him act the way he does." The two looked at him strangely. "What?"

"You're new to the village right?"

"I've been here a while."

"You must not be very social, it's common knowledge that the kid's an orphan, grew up by himself."

"That's terrible."

"Terrible!" The man on the left slammed his fist into the table. "That thing killed my father."

"Huh?" The teacher was grabbed by his collar and the man quickly whispered in his ear.

"That thing is the Kyubi reincarnated, his power is sealed but his evil mind remains."

'Just like-'

"Don't speak of this to anyone, it never happened."

'It's happening again, no I won't run from it again.'

"You understand nowm, right?"

"Yea, that thing doesn't need any power." He remembered his time in Suna. 'I've seen what will happen once it gets some.'

The rest of the week Naruto wasn't spoken to, his new teacher seemed to avoid eye contact and the others were scared of him.

'This is just like last time.' It was Tuesday morning of the second week, after allowing some time for the first years to adjust to school life, classes would begin. 'Just great.' He sat in his desk lazily expecting that voice that had spoken to him twice since the academy began. 'Could that Nine tailed fox have really been that bad?'

*Gong*

The final bell had rung and Dangai turned around to face them.

"Alright for the rest of the year you will be taking several classes to start your path to becoming a ninja, all book work will be done in my class; basic ninja history, tactics, and chakra theory." Naruto put his head to his desk and groaned; the rest of the class looked confused. "The physical classes will be do on the training field behind the school taught by the first level fitness instructor Hortra-sensei as you will call him, the final class type is split by gender, those classes will be explained by your instructors when the time arrives."

"That doesn't seem fair." A little girl said raising her hand.

"Kunoichi and Shinobi have to have different training; some things like physical strength can only be used by that gender." Not really understanding what he was saying the girl just accepted the answer. "Now let's begin our first lesson." He started explaining the basics of chakra.

'Bored.' I had been three hours since Dangai had started his lecture.

"All living things have chakra."

'So bored.'

"Yes, question?"

'Boooored.'

"So, um do bugs have chakra?"

'Enough already, just kill me.'

"Yes but-"

"I don't like bugs!"

'Ahhhgh!'

"We-well don't be scared, they are unable to use it like ninja and uh...."

*Gong!*

"Ok... that's all of the time we have for this class today."

"Yes!"

"Sit down Uzumaki!" Naruto scratched the back of his head and sat down with a nervous chuckle. "Now, it's time to meet your skill trainers, we'll be meeting them in another first year class, follow me." He walked out of the door as the kids scrambled to follow their sensei; Naruto jumped out of his seat and caught up with the man in seconds.

'Finally some movement!' When all three first year classes were standing in the same room three other adults entered.

"Could you please introduce yourselves?" The teacher of the room asked.

"Name's Darui, Mikar, I train the guys in practical skills." A heavily built man with dark blue hair steady glared at the class, he wore the standard chunin outfit.

"My name is Tabahi, Kashin, I teach the cute girls!" A bubbly woman with black hair tied in a ponytail bounced into the room, she had a dark blue skirt with her standard outfit. "And meet my new co-teacher Mitarashi, Anko!" A woman with purple hair and closed trench coat slowly made her way into the room, within her long sleeves her fists were clenched tightly.

"Yay for me." She responded with clenched teeth, her eyed closed in anger. Naruto stepped back a bit, the woman was obviously ticked but no one lse seemed to catch her mood.

'Something about her.... makes me feel very scared.' He didn't dare look her in the eyes.

'Wow, Kashin and Anko are cute, maybe I could try to date one of them.' Dangai didn't seem to catch the Anko's anger either he was too busy thinking about asking them out, he shook out of his daze. "Now, everybody go with your instructor like I told you."

'But that idiot Mikar hates me!' The blond walked up to the instructor and the man's face seemed to get even colder.

"No."

"Huh."

"I ain't takin' this runt again."

"I'm sorry but you don't have a choice Darui-san."

"*Grunt*, fine." He left quickly as the boys followed him, the two groups split the boys left for the training grounds and the girls headed for the fields. "Alright all of you listen up!" They all turned to face the man when they got to the training field. "All of you are going to learn how to do basic techniques, the ones without chakra."

"Why do we need to know that?" A seven year old asked.

"Because you can't use chakra yet, and this is how everyone starts out!" The boys nodded stupidly, Naruto grinned happy he would be able to move around soon. "Now everyone, go into the woods behind you and try your best to hide, I'll come looking for you in five minutes to see your skills."

"But-"

"Ready go!" The class moved as fast as their still growing legs would could, to find a spot to hide. "And you, don't even think yo- huh." Where Naruto had been standing was now a cloud of dust. 'Brat.' In the forest the blond was smiling to himself.

'The hiding class, this is too easy.' The time limit was up and Mikar was walking through the forest picking the kids from bushes and trees, several were on the ground crying that they had a cut.

'All of these first years are pathetic.' Looking around he found another kid that had his hair sticking out of a small bush. 'Another one down, two to go.' He looked ahead and saw fallen branch. 'One to go.' Picking up the branch a kid in a small ball was in his sights. 'That leaves the demon.' A half an hour passed and the orange boy couldn't be found. "Where are ya' boy!"

"Over here, I got bored of hiding." Turning around he saw Naruto leaning up against a tree.

"Where the heck have you been!"

"Doing what you told me to do."

"Don't mess with me!" Mikar hated this kid aside from him being a demon he was also one of the few who wasn't intimidated by him.

"But it's fun."

"Be quiet, You aren't getting graded for this class."

"What, why not?"

"'Cuz you've taken all five years of this class and have taken the fifth year course an extra two times, I'm kicking you out by tomorrow!"

"But-"

"Shut it, tomorrow you'll be out, count on it." They walked back to the academy in silence.

That's chapter 3, please review and thank you for reading. FlareXD.
