I don't own Naruto


Naruto arrived at the academy a couple hours before the team placements were to take place. He wanted to get there early to avoid coming into the class and having all of them stare at him and question why he was a genin when he failed the test. It would just be too troublesome. So he is currently sitting in his usual spot in the back corner with his hood covering his face and looking out the window.

-Two hours later-

Everyone had arrived at the classroom for team placements and a few questioned why Naruto was there like he had predicted. He simply pointed to the hitai-ate the he had sewn into his leather coat. The questions stopped after he started leaking KI into the room when people would ask.

All the students were sitting in their normal seats that they used during the school year. Choji and Shikamaru were sitting next to each other in the front row, Choji eating his chips and Shikamaru sleeping. Kiba was with some kids that Naruto never took the time to learn the names of seeing as they would never make it as ninja. Shino was in his corner of the classroom sitting there stoically, probably talking with his bugs. Hinata (A/N: Hinata will not be infatuated with Naruto in this since he is much colder and I feel like Hinata would never go for that type of guy) was sitting in the middle row trying her best to hide in her coat. Sasuke was stuck between his two biggest fangirls, Ino and Sakura, and they pestered him for a date whilst glaring at the other.

It was at this moment that Iruka walked in with a very pale, almost snow white skinned, student with black hair and pupilless black eyes. He wore a black long sleeved shirt and black anbu pants. He had the fakest smile that anyone had ever seen plastered on his face and had a scroll in his hand and what looked like inkwells attached to his belt.

"Alright class as you know from today onwards you will be genin for Konoha. You will be expected to uphold the morals of our great village and put your life on the line to protect the village. Let me just let me tell you guys how proud of you I am and..." Naruto turned Iruka's speech after that knowing that he would continue on for another five minutes.

"Okay so now I will be telling you all your teams Team 1..." Iruka starts going through the team lineup. "Team 7 will be Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke..."

"TRUE LOVE PREVAILS! Eat that Ino-pig!" Sakura screamed.

"... and Sai." Iruka finished.

The class all blinked in confusion after hearing that name. They didn't have anyone named Sai in this class.

"Iruka-sensei, who is Sai?" Sakura asked.

"Oh! How forgetful of me. I forgot to introduce your new student. Sai would you please stand up and give yourself a small introduction." Iruka said.

Sai stood up and looked around the class. "Hello, my name is Sai and it is nice to meet all of you." He then sat down with that fake smile still on his face.

"Now as I was saying. Team 8 will be Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino. Team 9 is still in rotation so the next team is Team 10 which consists of Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru. Uzumaki Naruto will be under an apprenticeship." Iruka finished.

Ino seemed to deflate after hearing who her team was, though it wasn't unexpected. They were the children of the legendary 'Ino-Shika-Cho trio', however that last bit caused her to perk up. "Ne, Iruka-sensei why does Naruto get an apprenticeship?"

Before Iruka could speak up Sasuke decided to get his part in. "Probably because they know that the dobe would die on his first mission if he didn't have all the help he could get."

Naruto just sat there in the corner seemingly lost in his own thoughts, which wasn't far from the truth. 'I am going to enjoy breaking that Uchiha pride of his when the time comes.' Naruto thought with an evil smirk that couldn't be seen since his hood shadowed his face.

After that the first few senseis came in and took their teams that had the children that would never make it as ninja. After the last of the no name teams left the wall exploded and a banner that read 'The great and sexy Mitarashi Anko' was pinned to the ceiling. When the dust settled there was a purple haired woman with pupilless brown eyes dressed in a trench coat, a mesh top, and an orange mini skirt was standing there striking a pose. Kiba stared at the women with lust filled eyes, obviously undressing her with his eyes, not that there was much to undress, Shino merely raised an eyebrow at the entrance, the girls in the class all thought of how crazy this lady was and Sasuke had an almost unnoticeable pink hue on his cheeks which caused Sakura and Ino to exclaim that the women was trying to steal 'their Sasuke-kun'

Naruto was for the most part unfazed, over the years living on the street he had come to hear about the famous 'Snake Mistress' and was quite intrigued by all the rumors surrounding her. He never did more than gather information about her but what he learned was very enlightening. Apparently she was the apprentice to the infamous snake sannin Orochimaru, she was given his experimental curse mark and was the only one recorded to survive the application, though she immediately left him after that she still has to bear the burden of not only being his apprentice but also the curse mark.

"Okay Team 8 you are with me! Meet me at training ground Forty..." Anko started

"Anko! Hokage-sama told you not to use that training ground for your genin." A voice spoke from the other side of the room close to the door.

There standing just inside the room were two people. One was a man in his late twenties or early thirties with a full beard and was smoking a cigarette. He was dressed like the average jounin with a blue long sleeved shirt on rolled up halfway up his forearms covered by a green tactical vest, he also wore blue anbu style pants. The only thing that made him stand out was the Twelve Ninja Guardian sash that he wore around his waist.

The other person was a woman with long black disheveled hair she had red eyes with a concentric circle within them. She wore a bandage like dress that was decorated with thorns with a mesh undershirt. She had a single red sleeve on her right arm and wrapped bandages around her forearms and hands. She also wrapped her upper thighs in bandages.

"I know that Nai-chan... I was just testing you..." Anko pouted.

"Of course you were.." Asuma stated before he turned to the genin. "Team 10 you are with me. Follow me to training ground ten." And with that Asuma walked off.

"Let's go little gaki's we are going to be using training ground 8" Anko said before she leapt out of the rubble.

"Uzumaki Naruto go to training ground 13" Kurenai said before she used a shunshin to leave.

Naruto got up and started to walk towards the broken window before he stopped when he heard Kiba yell.

"No fair! The dobe gets the hot teacher." Kiba complained.

"If I was not mistaken Kiba your team also has a female teacher that seems to love to wear as little clothes as possible." Naruto replied monotonously. "I don't think you have any room to complain." Naruto then jumped through the wall on his way to training ground 13.

When Naruto arrived at training ground 13 he immediately made his way to the center of the field where his sensei was standing waiting for him.

"Ok Naruto since you are my apprentice I will have to get to know you so I would like you to introduce yourself telling me your likes, dislikes, hobbies, and goals. I'll start. I'm Yuuhi Kurenai, I like genjutsu, gardening, my friends, green tea, and a certain man. My dislikes include perverts, Orochimaru, Icha Icha, and sexists. My hobbies are gardening, researching genjutsu, making new genjutsu, and hanging out with my friends. My dream is to have a family." Kurenai said.

"Okay. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like foxes, I dislike arrogance, my hobby is gardening, and I don't have a dream." Naruto said in an even tone.

'Great this kid has about as much personality as a rock.' Kurenai thought with a sweatdrop. "Okay then Naruto. Tomorrow I will assess your skills and from there we will work on what you need the most work on." Kurenai said before she left the training ground.

'Guess I'll go back to my home in the Forest of Death and continue training.' Naruto thought before he took off towards training ground 44.

-Forest of Death-

'Finally got it.' Naruto thought.

'So you finished the resistance seal. Good, now we can kick up your physical training to make you stronger and faster, should make that taijutsu style easier. How are you coming along with writing seals with your chakra?' Kyuubi asked.

'I can still only make a single kanji, but I have halved the time it takes for me to place it.'

'That's good, but you need to learn to write more kanji and faster. This skill can make you the most feared ninja in the world if you master it.'

'I know, but it's incredibly difficult. I'll start putting more clones to it now that I got the resistance seal down.' Naruto replied.

Naruto made 200 clones and they immediately split up into their groups. 10 went to the waterfall to try and stop the water flow using only wind manipulation. He was lucky that he found a jaguar that knew earth manipulation and made him a bridge to stand on or else he would have tried to split the waterfall while water walking. He now had 30 clones working on writing seals with their chakra while ten studied fuuinjutsu. 50 clones were working on chakra control, he was currently balancing senbon on his fingertips, though he could only balance three on each hand before he dropped one. The other 100 were working on genjutsu and ninjutsu.

Naruto himself was about to begin his physical training with the resistance seal. He had already planned out his physical training before. Since he already was a stamina freak and was pretty fast from all the chases he had to avoid he would focus more on strength, but he wouldn't ignore stamina and speed entirely. So when he finished putting the resistance seal he quickly got working on his warm up exercises which consisted of sit ups, push ups, pull ups, and squats, 500 of each. Then after that he would run around the training ground for 30 minutes and then jog it for 30 minutes then walk around it for 10 minutes to cool down. After that he would summon Heiko and get working on his taijutsu.

-5 hours later-

Naruto had just finished his training for the day. He was finally able to split the waterfall using only wind manipulation. Now he was coating it on his saber claws making them even sharper. He has also come up with some very good ideas for a couple genjutsu techniques. One genjutsu that one of his clones thought up of and named Kako no akumu (Nightmares of the past) had to be the most ingenious thing he had ever thought of. Using a genjutsu to force your victim to live through your past would break just about anyone. Another was to use Kyuubi's youki for the genjutsu that would send a small part of the Kyuubi's conscience into the victim. After that it was all up to what Kyuubi wanted to do with them.

He is on his way to his apartment to pick up some things before he went back to the forest. He decided that he would just live out there in the forest. The animals in the forest seemed to like him for some reason, he figured that the Kyuubi had something to do with it. He was just going to use his apartment as a storage shed to keep all the stuff he doesn't carry around safe.

He was passing one of the training grounds when he heard a large crashing sound. Deciding to go investigate he made his way towards the sound.

When he arrived at the edge of a clearing he saw two green suited buffoons, a Hyuuga, and a panda girl. He knew these people from the academy. They graduated a year ahead of him. The students were Rock Lee, a kid that could not mould chakra to use for ninjutsu or genjutsu, Hyuuga Neji, a branch member of the Hyuuga clan that had it out for the main house, and Tenten, a weapons loving girl that couldn't get enough of anything pointy.

They were dressed similarly to how they were in the academy except Lee... He had seemingly taken his senseis wardrobe, and hairstyle...

Their sensei was just a larger version of Lee with a jounin flak jacket. If Naruto remembered correctly his name is Maito Gai, Konoha's best taijutsu user. Figures he would be teaching two taijutsu freaks and a weapon mistress.

"Gai-sensei that was a most youthful demonstration!" Lee yelled.

"That it was my youthful Lee. Now I want all of you to try and break a tree using that technique. GO MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS!" Gai exclaimed.

"HAI GAI-SENSEI!" Lee yelled before he sprinted off to the nearest tree and attempted to break a tree in half using only his fist.

"I'll pass." Neji said as he crossed his arms and started walking towards a training post in the middle of the field to practice his Jyuuken.

"I'm with Neji on this one." Tenten said before walking towards some dummies that were set up in front of Naruto.

"You can stop spying on us." Neji called out while looking directly at Naruto, his Byakugan blazing.

Naruto slowly stepped out of the trees into the clearing "Who said I was spying... I just heard a crash and decided to check it out." Naruto said as he walked towards Gai. "But if I may be so bold, what is this technique that you were talking about."

"It is a youthful technique that I created." Gai said exuberantly. "I based it off of Tsunade's super strength technique, though since I do not have the chakra control required to use her super strength I channel chakra to my fist and when I make contact with an object I release it. Though as I have said since I do not have the chakra control that Tsunade-sama has I end up wasting a good amount of the chakra and the end result is that I do not do as much damage as Tsunade-sama." Gai explained in a rarely heard serious voice reserved for when he is discussing taijutsu or in serious situations.

"Interesting. It must have taken you quite some time to not only come up with the idea, but to also put it into practice and get good results." Naruto deducted.

"It did, but through hard work and determination I completed the technique." Gai said, "and now I am teaching it to my most youthful genin. Would you like to learn such a youthful technique… Uh... Forgive my unyouthfulness but I do not recall your name."

"I never gave it. My name is Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto said while taking the hood off his head. "I wouldn't expect you to recognize me with myself all covered like that. But I think I will pass on that technique, I just got finished training, though do you know any good physical training that I could do? I have been so focused on chakra based training that I have been neglecting my physical training."

"Oh no..." Tenten murmured as she started to back away from the youthful duo.

"NARUTO-SAN! I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE MOST YOUTHFUL IF YOU ACCOMPANIED ME AND MY MOST YOUTHFUL STUDENT LEE AS WE DO OUR PHYSICAL TRAINING!" Gai yelled. He then took out a notebook from one of the pockets in his vest. "Let's see... Today is... FIVE THOUSAND LAPS AROUND KONOHA WITH A BOULDER ON OUR BACKS! YOSH LEE! WHAT SHOULD WE DO IF WE CANNOT DO THAT?!"

"WE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THREE THOUSAND HANDSTAND PUSHUPS AND IF WE CANNOT DO THAT THEN WE MUST DO FOUR THOUSAND HANGING SIT UPS." Lee exclaimed with fire in his eyes.

"And if we cannot do that then we have to climb the Hokage mountain with one hand seven thousand times." Naruto said calmly.

Time seemed to stop and Neji and Tenten just looked at Naruto dumbfounded. He had just agreed to train with the youthful duo. Their workouts were suicide and any sane person would never even think about attempting them, and yet here is someone who is going to train with them and even added on a punishment should they not complete their previous goals.

"YOSH! NARUTO-KUN YOU ARE MOST YOUTHFUL!" Lee exclaimed as he ran up to Naruto.

"I think to make this fair though I should add resistance seals to the both of you so you get as much out of the workout as possible."

"What are these resistance seals you speak of Naruto-kun?" Lee asked.

"They are a seal that uses chakra to resist the muscles from moving. So if you were to try and lift your arm there would be a small amount of resistance against the muscles forcing them to work harder and grow stronger and faster." Naruto explained.

"Yosh! Naruto-kun would you give me one of these most youthful resistance seals!" Lee exclaimed.

"I would like one of these seals as well Naruto-kun." Gai added.

"Of course. Let me just draw them up for you. Where do you want them?" Naruto asked.

At that both Lee and Gai pulled down their jumpsuits and simultaneously said "Over my heart."

Naruto blinked twice then just shrugged and started to draw the seals on over their hearts.

"Now to raise or lower the resistance you just channel chakra to the seal." Naruto explained after he finished, "now let's begin that work out shall we?"

After Gai and Lee channeled enough chakra to their resistance seals to where they felt challenged they nodded and all three headed off to the Hokage mountain to get a boulder.

-Six hours later-

Naruto had just finished his three thousand handstand pushups, he couldn't quite make it five thousand times around Konoha with a boulder on his back, though that may be because he had just finished his own small workout beforehand.

He was now headed to his apartment, again, to get a sleeping bag. He preferred sleeping outside but he did not like the cold ground that he had to sleep on.

As he turned into the red light district he made his way to his apartment.

As Naruto reached the top of the stairs that lead to his room he came upon quite the sight. There were about twenty people standing outside his room trying to break it down.

'Good thing I put security seals in my apartment.' Naruto thought before a sadistic grin grew on his face. 'This is gonna be fun.'

"May I help you?" Naruto said from behind the mob.

The group turned around to see the object of their hate standing there, seemingly uninterested.

"Yes demon we have come to end you and finish what was started all those years ago!" One random civilian yelled while he pulled out a lead pipe.

"Of course you are, but just do my one favor, look into my eyes." Naruto said as he channeled chakra to his eyes. He had been working on a way to cast genjutsu without hand seals and Kyuubi told him that the Uchiha cast genjutsu using their sharingan as a medium. So expanding on that he decided to do the same thing, except he didn't have a sharingan as a medium, but with the Kyuubi sealed in him using eye contact wasn't that hard to do.

When the mob looked into his eyes they became entranced. His blue eyes were glowing and they seemed to draw the mob in.

"Kako no akumu" Naruto whispered before the mobs vision went black and they immediately found themselves walking the streets in a brightly lit Konoha. They kept walking, seemingly without control of their body. Then they felt something hit the side of their heads. The body that they were in turned to see a broken bottle lying on the ground next to him. Then they felt strong hands grab them by the shoulder before they were forcibly thrown into an alley.

"So the little demon thinks that they can just walk around like an innocent little boy?" Someone asked. They turned their head toward the voice and saw that it was a rather large man, about Six foot seven with large muscles and a dragon tattoo on his right arm. He held a taser in on of his hands and a coil of copper wire in the other. "I'm going to have some fun with you now demon."

Before they could do anything the man rushed forward and slammed them into the wall behind them before stabbing them through the arms and legs with kitchen knives. He then started to unravel the copper wire and started to wrap it around the boy crucified on the wall. When he had wrapped all the wire around the boy he brought the taser to the end of the wire that he held in a gloved hand.

"I hope you stay conscious for all of this. It would be a shame if you didn't experience all of this." The man said before turning on the taser and sending a large amount of electricity through the wire and electrocuting the boy.

Outside of the genjutsu all the civilians screamed to the heavens before dropping onto the ground unconscious.

"They didn't last all that long... Oh well. Gotta get my sleeping bag and then back to the forest." And with that Naruto quickly entered his apartment got his sleeping bag and took off towards the Forest of Death.


Another chapter done, though I am going through a bit of writers block right now... So if anyone has any ideas for later in the story I would gladly take them.

I will also be posting the translations to the jutsus I use in my story on my profile. They'll all be up by the end of the weekend.
