I do not own naruto anime, manga or other released formats.
Well to say that Naruto for the first week of class was bored was clear for every teacher to see. The thing that Naruto found most boring it was that it was the same thing over and over again. History first, Theory on ninja abilities, for the guys health class, and ethics, and birth control and std prevention practices, for the girls, seduction, cooking, dancing, and ethics, and of course birth control and std prevention practices. To Naruto they always felts like why divide the class at all. Guys needed to learn how to cook, dance and specially to notice when someone was trying to seduce them for their own benefit. Ethics were the same thing all over, birth control and std prevention why separate the two. Again they both needed to know this stuff. Just cutting the time it took the 2 to divide would save a ton of time.
Now what they did not teach is the things that Naruto really made him upset, how long till he was going to get a basic aid class? weapon maintenance? field cleaning and field survival skills? Not for the foreseeable future it seems. So the same things repeated a hundred times each and every single day. One of his teachers even tried to hit him on the head with an eraser because he had fallen asleep, that how dull it was.
But there was one thing that was fun. Taijutsu spar, and weapon accuracy practice. He really had to try hard not to maim or permanently injure someone. He could throw shuriken and kunai with his eyes closed, but again had to fake it, had to miss some targets intentionally. Did not want to appear to be a show off. Mitoko did not agree on that point, if he was that good he should show it, if they lack physical training they students would get much worse from the crooks and enemies they were going to face. She said during a lunch break a good beating between fellow students was a much needed wake up call.
The more Mikoto talked with Naruto the more she ended up thinking of her misfortune. If only Naruto was in the same class as her she wouldn't have to be apart from him all the time they were in shared classes. Naruto was getting pretty sick of the way the academy was doing things, in secret he even began to write a list on the modifications he would make to the classes and the way the academy worked, he got the info he needed from books, and from the way Mikoto talked about her own classes.
Mikoto did not get her wish in aspect, it turned out that instead of her helping him with his classes, he ended up tutoring her on hers. She joked that if he understood her classes why not take the final exams for each year and skip a few grades. He had to admit that was not such a bad idea, the teachers would sooner cross dress than allow it but it was a good idea.
At the second year seeing Mikoto closer to the final year and the time where she would be in another team away from him made him decide. He needed a way to be allowed to get into her genin team, so he decided to make a bet with the Hokage. He simply decided to put all the changes that he would do to the academy and if they worked he won and would be allowed to take the final exams for as many classes as he would pass, if he really wanted to he could probably graduate in a 2 weeks. But if he lost he would never complain about the academy and be really happy to be in any team the teachers and the Hokage decided.
Now Naruto spent an entire evening making sure all the papers were clear, that all changes were easy to understood, and most importantly that his appointment with the Hokage was set and that the assistant would not dismiss it as a kid seeking attention.
The Hokage looked at his appointment schedule and saw one name that he did not imagine to see so early in the morning, "Naruto Uchiha. Proposal of changes to the academy." What would a little boy know about the things wrong about the academy. Well he did make the appointment through the proper channels and with the right paperwork. His parents must be helping him.
On time and in an appropriate way Naruto was present to his appointment, He mentioned all the potential wasted time by separating the classes, how such wasted material could be better used in materials that were needed but not taught. Medical aid, and field skills in class, and expand weapon usage to include more weapons for the students to see what kind of weapon would suit their particular way of fighting. Teamwork and non verbal communication also where added. The d rank missions could be used for that very purpose as practice, when asked who would supervise he simply said that the village had a good number of retired ninja that would love to help with that. The new generation would learn from the experienced older generation making each generation better. And last but not least why hear the History of the Sadaime Hokage when they had the man alive and kicking to give a guest lecture. He was called the professor for a reason right?
The Hokage simply told him that he would love to, but with all the paperwork he did not have any time. That is when he simply said,"Why don't you use the Shadow Clone Jutsu? the shadow clones can handle teaching or doing the paperwork?" He told him that needed to know what the paperwork said, "The one that cast the jutsu learn everything the Shadow Clone does. So what's the problem?"
At this point he could not believe it, all this time he had tried to beat the monster, the bane of all Hokage called paperwork. And a child in his first year in the academy pretty much delivered the perfect weapon to kill said monster. Naruto had to watch as a crying Hokage slammed his head on the desk and called himself stupid each time he did it. Little did he know that in heaven all the previous Kage were doing exactly the same thing with a wall. Kami was laughing her head off.
"So Naruto for the changes I will study them and see if they can be tested next year, and for the secret mission of destroying the Kage Bane. Your payment is 1 wish if it is within my power I will grant it." Naruto simply smiled and answered, "Can I take the final exams for a few grades and be placed with a class that I can learn something new?" The Hokage did not see a reason why not, I mean if he passed he would already know the material if he did not the teacher would know what he lacked. It was a win-win. So he agreed to have these tests after each class day. 3 per week at least as time allowed.
Mikoto was very happy to hear that, her classmates were not and specially the teachers. The teachers could not disobey the Hokage, they had to give the Uchiha brat a chance to show off and make them all look foolish. But they were not going to make it easy, For starters the teacher of each grade made a written test that they would have a hard time passing given the time limit they imposed, and for physical test a physical exams that would make normal chuunin cry for their mommas. If the kid passes we will be laughed at by everyone in the village, they had to make a test to really show this Naruto his place in the world and that he did not knew what as much as he believed he did. This would save his life and their honor.
The next class was a dull and boring as ever, then came the time Naruto really wanted, the test he had 30 minutes to answer 100 questions and not a one was multiple choice. He sat down and in 10 minutes he answered every single question, checked them and walked to the teacher and said, "Done!" The next part was the physical skills test, he had to hit moving targets while blindfolded with a single kunai and a single shuriken. With the shadow shuriken and shadow kunai jutsus he cleared the targets in a second. "10 out of 10" Even the teacher did not know that could be done so quickly. So he told Naruto to sit down so he could read the written test. After 5 minutes the teacher was upset, not a single wrong answer. Taijutsu he had to fight against a chuunin, and the teacher expected the kid to be afraid. The chuunin threw everything he knew at the kid, evade, evade, counter, evade and one final throw and the chuunin was out cold.
He was happy to tell Mikoto that he passed to the final exam and advanced 1 grade. It would take longer because the teacher really did not want him to pass so they did limit his final exam chances to 3 a , Wednesday, and Friday. Today was Monday so he had to sit in quiet and respectful for an entire day for 3rd grade, Naruto simply smiled at her and said he could use the time to take a nap and maybe learn a new jutsu. Mikoto did not understand why he would say that? Learn a jutsu while you sleep?
In his dreams the imprint of his dead grandfather kept teaching him Katon Jutsu exercises. Just like when he taught him how to awaken his sharingan before he was even 4 years old, and how he used the tsukoyomi to force him to attack and kill the person he loved the most Mikoto, and then he forced him to kill his parents. The shock and grief of killing the people he cared for most awakened his magenkyou sharingan. At age 5 he had begun his training in the use of this evolved doujutsu after learning that he would not go blind as most would.
He simply asked his grandfather if he could teach him some Fuuton jutsu as well, being the imprint of a loving grandfather he did, but Naruto would always want to learn more. If his teachers knew that the supposed show off had mastered all the Katon control exercises they would begin to take him more seriously.
The next day he would be introduced to a new classroom, the students being shocked to see a younger boy as their new classmate, but if they only knew that it was temporary. A new subject was introduced but with 150 shadow clones at his disposal he was not worried one bit, he had the subject learned by dinner time. The new teacher heard what he had done before, and kept the same mindset, put the show off in his place. The only sad thing was is that the classmates did get used to him the first day, little did they know that was the only time that they would share a classroom again.
The same thing happened the next day after class, a teacher that was sure the punk would fail, a student proving him how wrong he was, perfect scores and yet another chuunin in the hospital. This situation was something that the Hokage could not believe. In a single week Naruto jumped, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and now was on the sixth were he finally did not pass the test. Little did he know that he did that on purpose. Just to be in the same class as Mikoto. If you could look into Mikoto's mind a chibi Mikoto was jumping around using the V sign and smiling like she just won the lottery. Her classmate were not happy at all. A kid 5 years younger was now sitting in their classroom as a classmate. When it came to taijutsu he proved to them that he indeed deserve to be there. The bullies in his class all said that they would fight him together after class.. Well one thing can be said about Konoha General Hospital they do have plenty of beds. And thanks to Naruto the doctors and nurses got plenty of practice. He never held back anymore, if he was like this with allies, Kami have mercy on his enemies.
