Hello again readers! I am back today with a new chapter of SOSP Reborn! First off, I wanted to say thank you to all who reviewed. Now in the last chapter, Naruto tells the Hokage of the Sage of the Six Paths and his Rinnegan. In this chapter, we will see Naruto reintroduce himself to Konoha as an official ninja! To prevent confusion, Naruto was promoted the same time as everyone else. With nothing else to say, let's get on to the chapter. I do not own Naruto.

Sage of the Six Paths Reborn: Chapter 3

Naruto was walking through the streets of Konoha with a smile on his face. Part of the reason he was smiling was about being made a ninja. The other part was that the villagers saw him as completely different person. Most of them didn't recognize the 'Demon Brat' that screamed that he was going to be Hokage at the top of his lungs. Naruto enjoyed not seeing the hate filled glares that he saw every single day of his life. On his training trip, Naruto had left his loud and obnoxious self, and turned into a mature, patient, and caring individual who kept their emotions in check. While walking through the streets, Naruto's stomach to rumble. "Looks like I need something to eat" he chuckled to himself.

As he entered his favorite ramen shop, Naruto was greeted by a girl with brown hair and was wearing a white robe with an apron. "Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen, how may I help you?" the girl asked. "You don't remember me, Ayame- chan?" Naruto asked. Ayame looked at him in shock. "N-Naruto, is that you?!" she asked. He nodded, "The one and only!" he said with a wide grin. "Hey tou-san, check out who visited!" Ayame called to her father. A few moments later, an elderly man wearing the same outfit as his daughter walked out from inside the kitchen. "Is that Naruto?!" he asked in shock. Ayame nodded. "He's grown, hasn't he, tou-san?" Ayame asked her father. "He sure has" he said aloud. 'I just hope he hasn't grown out of liking ramen' the old man thought to himself. "So Naruto, where have you been all this time?" Teuchi asked.(1) "I've been in the woods training. Can't become Hokage if I don't train, can I?" Naruto said with a smirk. The two ramen chefs nodded. "So what's up with your hair?" Ayame asked as she glanced the two horns made of hair on his head.

"Let's just say I 'adopted' it from a friend of mine." he replied, thinking of his sensei. "So Naruto, what'll it be?" Ayame asked, taking his order. "I'll have ten bowls have of miso pork" Naruto answered. "Ten miso pork, coming right up, Naruto!" Teuchi asked while heading back into the kitchen. "So Naruto, what did you learn on your training trip?" Ayame asked while he was waiting for his food to arrive. "Just some Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, etc." Naruto replied. At that moment, Teuchi came from the kitchen with ten steaming bowls of ramen in his hands. "How strong do you think you are, Naruto?" Ayame asked.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I guess I'm pretty strong. It wasn't a lie. He WAS pretty strong. Probably strong enough to take on a group of Jonin. After he was done with his ramen, Naruto got up and walked to his apartment.

X-X-X

Naruto opened the door to his apartment room and walked inside. 'Might as well kill time with training' he thought, after looking at his alarm clock and seeing that he had a few hours to spare. Naruto did some hand seals and then slammed his hands on the floor. There was a puff of smoke and sitting in front of him of was a huge scroll that was the same length as his bed. He opened the scroll and started to read what to learn next. Naruto has learned a lot of jutsu from this scroll.

Flashback:

"Hey Naruto, you see that big scroll over there?" the Sage asked from inside Naruto's mind. After looking around for a few moments, Naruto finally found what he was looking for. He picked up the scroll and opened up to find a list of jutsu written on the inside. Naruto's eyes widened in awe. "There's got to be a million jutsu listed in this thing!" Naruto thought out loud. The Sage (AN: I'll just call him Rikudo from now on :/) chuckled. "Well I DID design it to update itself once a month with new jutsu that people have created Rikudo said. "It's been like what, three- thousand years?" Rikudo asked to no one in specific.

"Am I going to learn ALL these jutsu?" Naruto asked with a bit of excitement. "Well most of them anyway." Rikudo said with a grin. "We'll start with taijutsu and go from there" Rikudo instructed his new student. "Yes, Rikudo- sensei" Naruto replied with a huge smile. Rikudo returned the smile with and even wider smile.

Flashback end

Naruto was now at the Nature Release section. Naruto had made it halfway through all the nature release jutsu. He was currently reading about Explosion Release, made by combining the Fire and Wind elements. The scroll said you had to combine the Fire and Wind elements together to create explosive chakra. In battle, the user could aim their hand at a target and then literally disintegrate them. "Hmm.., I'm gonna need some help" he thought out loud. He put his fingers in a cross seal and with a puff of smoke, twenty clones came into existence. "Alright, you know what to do!" Naruto exclaimed as the all the clones answered, "Yes sir!" and started to do their assignment. Meanwhile, Naruto was getting ready to go to bed. 'Big day tomorrow, so I want to wake up early if I want to make it to team announcements' Naruto thought while brushing his teeth.

Just before sleep washed over him, Naruto told Kurama and Rikudo-sensei goodnight. "Goodnight Kurama, Rikudo- sensei" Naruto said to his two tenants. "Goodnight, Naruto" they replied at the same time.

The next day…

Naruto woke up at 6:00 AM thanks to his stupid alarm clock that wouldn't shut up. As he sat up on his bed, he noticed that his clones had gone out to the training grounds and practiced with the Explosion Release. Naruto grinned inwardly as he watched tiny sparks dance around in his palm. Shadow clones were awesome. Not only were they great for combat, they were also great for training purposes. The shadow clone technique helped him learn techniques that would normally take years to master. But with his shadow clones, he could cut the time in half.

Naruto gently walked out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. He took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and made himself breakfast. Rikudo had taught Naruto how to hunt and fish during the training trip, along with other useful survival skills. Kurama taught him about the past Hokages, especially the Yondaime, who sealed Kurama within him, and that he was his father. He also told him that Kushina Uzumaki was his mother. Naruto was shocked, to say the least. Kurama said that his father had no choice but seal him into his own son. He couldn't ask anyone else to sacrifice their child if he wasn't willing to sacrifice his own. He died believing that Naruto would become an incredible ninja. Naruto learned that both of his parents loved him with all their hearts. Kurama told him that his father was overjoyed when he found out that he was going to have a son. During that time, Naruto made a promise to his parents. He promised that he would protect his precious people with all that he had.

After getting dressed, Naruto headed out through the window, and went straight toward the academy. When he arrived, he took a seat next to raven- haired boy wearing a blue shirt with a red and white fan in the back and white pants. While he was waiting for the announcements to begin, two girls came crashing through the door, looking like they were fighting. One of the girls had long blonde hair tied into a high ponytail. She also had blue eyes. She wore a purple shirt and apron-looking pants, while her stomach was covered in bandages. The other girl had long pink hair and green eyes. She was wearing a bright red dress with white circular markings, and green shorts.

"Back off Ino-pig, I got here first!" the pink haired girl said to the blonde one. "Yea right, Forehead, I got here first! That means I get to sit next to Sasuke-kun!" the blonde, now known as Ino retorted. "Excuse me ladies, but I'm afraid I'm the one that got here first, which means I get this seat." Naruto said. "Who do you think you are?!" You can't just come in here and sit next to Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said with stars in her eyes. "Then what makes you think YOU can come in here and sit next Sasuke." Naruto replied. "By the way, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I just became a Genin yesterday." Sasuke just looked in thought. 'Who is this guy? Well at least he got the fangirls away from me. So I guess he isn't that bad.' Sasuke thought.

A few minutes later, a man with a scar across his nose came walking into the classroom. He looked at the kids that were talking all out once. He took a deep breath, and suddenly his head grew twice as normal and he shouted," SHUT UP AND LISTEN, BRATS!" That seemed to work, and the class settled down. "I will now be announcing the teams" the teacher said as he read off a list of names. Naruto wasn't really paying attention and decided he would wait till his name was called. "Team 7 will be Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki." Iruka said while not looking up at the students.

After the team announcements had been made, every other team except for Team 7 went to meet with their senseis. Team 7 was busy waiting for the sensei to show up. So they waited….and waited…. and waited. Finally, after the second hour of waiting, Sakura stood up and shouted, "WHERE THE HELL IS OUR SENSEI?!" to no one in particular. Naruto's eardrums were hurting due to the volume of her screeching. But ignored it, looking down at the notes his clones wrote down about the Explosion Release.

After another hour of waiting, the door opened to reveal a man of average height with gravity defying hair, wearing the standard Jonin attire. He wore a mask that covered half his face, and his headband was tilted so that it covered his right eye. He was reading a small, bright orange book that he kept reading for another two minutes before looking up. "My first of impression of you...you're boring." the man said before saying, "Meet me up on the roof" and vanishing in a swirl of leaves.

When they arrived on the roof, they saw their sensei still reading his orange book. "Now is the time we introduce ourselves" he said while closing his book. "Why don't you start first, sensei just so we know how it goes" Sakura asked. He gave slight nod and put his book away. "My name is Kakashi Hatake. "My hobbies and dreams are none of your business" he stated with an eye-smile. The rest of team 7 sweat dropped. 'All he told us was his name' was what went through all of their minds. "You're up first, Pinky" Kakashi said while looking at Sakura. "Well, my name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are, she looked at Sasuke and giggled. My dreams are, again, she looked at the brooding Uchiha and giggled. 'Great a fangirl ' was what ran through Kakashi's mind at the girl's antics. "You're up next, emo" Kakashi said looking at the Uchiha. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I dislike A LOT of things, and I don't particularly LIKE anything. I don't have a dream, I have a goal, and my goal is to kill a certain man and restore my clan. " the Uchiha stated before continuing to brood. "We saved the best for last. Your turn, Blondie.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are ramen and training. My dislikes are people who make fun of others. I also don't like it when people underestimate me. My dream is to become Hokage so that I can protect those I care about" Naruto said before looking elsewhere.

'Pretty interesting team I got here' Kakashi thought as he proceeded to talk to his team. "Now that introductions are over, I'm going to tell you about the real test." "But we already took a test, Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura replied. "Yes you did, but that was just to weed out the lost causes" Kakashi retorted. "This test will see if you have what it takes to survive in the real world" Kakashi explained. "I want you to meet me here tomorrow morning to take your REAL test" Just when he was about to leave, he added, "Oh, and don't eat breakfast unless you want to puke" and left in a swirl of leaves.

'Well I guess time to leave' Naruto thought as he used his speed to run to his apartment. When he got home, he summoned his jutsu scroll from its dimension. 'Hmm… let's see… Swift Release, being able to move at an untraceable speed… may come in handy one day' Naruto said as he read about the technique. He made a familiar cross sign, and twenty clones appeared. "I want you guys to go to the training grounds and study the Swift Release" he informed his clones. They simply saluted, and jumped through the window, making their way to the training grounds. "Got a long day ahead of me" Naruto thought aloud as he proceeded to rest for the test (AN: Ha-ha, it rhymes).

Well, that's the end of chapter three. In the next chapter, Team 7 will be taking their REAL Genin Test. don't forget to follow, fave, and review! See you next time
