Chapter five is up. Sorry for taking so long school has started up so it's difficult to updated.

I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. Enjoy.

Always There for Me

Chapter five

Naruto was practically skipping to the academy. He was happy about not being on his own anymore. As long as Kyuubi was with him, Naruto didn't have much to fear. Apart from Kyuubi's obsession of brushing and straightening Naruto's hair, this hurt a lot in Naruto's opinion. Today was one of those days but it didn't dampen his mood.

The Academy

Naruto walked into the classroom, only to hear silence once everyone saw him.

''What? Is there something on my face?'' asked Naruto 'Damn, I bet it's some ramen I left on my face. Why did I not notice sooner I could've eaten it by now.' he thought to himself.

Kiba was the one to ask the question on everyone's mind ''Hey, is that really you fox-face? What's with the new look?'' checking his eyes were working properly.

Naruto looked at Kiba and replied ''Yeah, who else would it be, dog-breath?''

'I wonder why the dobe changed his fashion sense, either way it won't change the fact he's a dead-last he won't pass the exam' thought Sasuke keeping his eyes on Naruto.

Class starts

''Okay, everyone, you're about to take the exam which determines whether you are fit to become a genin. The order will be alphabetical order.'' announced Iruka.

Time went by and Naruto got more and more nervous, seeing all of his classmates leave the room with a Konoha headband(1). Finally it was Naruto's turn, he marched into the room like he was so confident despite he was screaming like a little girl in his mind.

'Okay, this is it. I can do this. I am going to the Hokage someday, Believe it!' Naruto thought to his self.

''Okay, Naruto. All you need to do is make 3 simple clones and you pass, alright?'' Iruka told Naruto, who noticed the man beside his teacher glare at him.

Naruto concentrated his chakra and made a seal. However, Naruto knew damn well he couldn't make an ordinary clone even though he wanted to, so he decided to do a kage bushin jutsu and pretend it was a bushin jutsu.

Iruka was shocked to say the least, he never expected Naruto to do a bushin jutsu.

''Well done, Naruto. You pass come here in the morning to find out who your new sensei is going to be.'' Said Iruka as he handed Naruto a Konoha headband.

After the exam

Naruto was practically skipping home. He was so happy, that he was a ninja, he thought of how proud Kyuubi would be of him. As he neared his apartment he noticed Kyuubi was just returning from somewhere.

''Hey, Kyuu! Guess what? I'm a ninja now, I'm so happy. What have you been up to today?'' Naruto ranted.

Kyuubi looked at Naruto with a smile ''Well done, Naruto, I'm proud of you. As for what I've been up to, I was coming back from the Hokage tower. You are looking at Konoha's new jounin(2)'' he replied, opening the door.

'Now, Kyuu and I are ninja's. I wonder if anything interesting will happen from now on?' Naruto wondered entering the apartment.

(1)= I can't remember the japanese name for the ninja headband-_-'

(2)= Is that the way 'Jounin' is spellen. Tell me if it isn't.
