I do not own naruto anime, manga or other released formats.

It was the 2nd month since Naruto came to be in Mikoto's class. To her it was a good send that Naruto was with her, to some of the girls in class it was a time that they tease her with calling the two Uchiha the unofficial couple of their class. The guys wanted a shot at Naruto to prove to the show off that one of them should be getting all the affection from the cutest girl in class.

When Mikoto told him that if Naruto could share his training schedule and methods with Mikoto. The entire class nearly fell out of their seats. If Mitoko got as strong as Naruto why even bother telling them about the top positions in class would be decided after their final year. If she did follow his training then it could be decided right now. They would be Naruto and Mikoto no doubt about it.

But to the horror of the entire class their teacher heard that and decided that the entire class should try a similar training regiment. They did not walk home after class since then, they practically crawled home. Mikoto looked at Naruto and asked him day and night to help her awaken her sharingan. For an entire week, she asked him none stop for him to help her. It was then that Kagami told Naruto that to have some peace at home. "Please, Naruto help her so that I can have some quiet in here. Please!" His wife was laughing her head off when she saw her husband do that.

Using the Tsukoyomi Genjutsu he did just that. She learned to activate and deactivate her genjutsu. She was happy to be able to use it, but not happy that it was currently at 1 tomoe in each eye, while Naruto who was younger had a fully mature doujutsu. "If you train, and work really hard you will make it!"

Naruto kept showing his very best during class and in practice, but there was one thing he would always fail at no matter how many times it happened. That was when someone it did not matter who, where or even when. If you picked on Mikoto, there would be Naruto to make the person pay, and it usually ended with one more bully, or one more pervert in the hospital for various wounds be they cuts, burns, or even broken bones.

If you were a student in that class and wanted to live long enough to graduate the thing you must never do is bully Mikoto Uchiha. There was one idiot that decided to peek at Mikoto while she was in the public hot springs. Well Naruto prepared a specially nasty punishment, he trapped the idiot in a genjutsu when 30 brawny guys wearing speedos were madly in love with him. The Hokage himself thought that was so cruel that when he told the chief of Torture and Interrogation about it he simply began to laugh. "He has a bright future in this department if we ever manages to recruit him!. I would recruit him right now, but I have to wait till he is Chuunin first, darn." The senin Orochimaru strangely was actually in a very good mood for several weeks after that happened.

Well as for Mikoto she finally asked why Naruto would always protect her. He simply smiled and told her that she was precious to him. Nobody will mess with the people he considered precious, and if they did they would see Hell while still living. Kagami was impressed with what he said, now that was a loyal person. His mother being in a rather teasing mood, she just said that maybe Naruto was in love with Mikoto. This made both Mikoto and Naruto blush so much you would expect smoke to come from their heads.

The last two years came and went and because that dream training by the time he graduated he had master his Katon affinity, Shadow Clones, Taijutsu and Kenjutsu. The only thing he did not master was his Fuuton affinity but he was very proficient at it. Mikoto had mastered her Katon and Raiton Ninjutsu. For weapons she mastered the Scythe and the Gunbai. Naruto favored the Katana, and the double trench knives.

But the thing was Naruto always seemed to be having chats and played shogi with the Anbu and their commander. Why would the Anbu and their commander play shogi with his on their free time you ask. Simple, they couldn't beat him. As of today Naruto Uchiha is the unofficial shogi Champion in the Anbu Shogi Divisional Tournament. He has won that championship 3 times in a row.

One Anbu won it using what he called a move that the man called, the Naruto Gambit. The only clan that decided to never participate on the tournament again was the Nara Clan. They believed that the chances of them winning it while Naruto played in it were so small. That the clan head said and I quote, "It would just be to troublesome to even participate."

Some of the ninja council wanted to ask the Hokage why not name Naruto for some recognition officially. Instead of always his accomplishments being unofficial and basically secret. He simply said that Naruto played shogi for the fun, and that everything he accomplishes is just training. He wanted no recognition and if he ever was recognized for anything it was his earnest desire to protect the people precious to him.

As for the bully from the Hyuuga family he suffer a tragic incident that made it impossible to graduate, I mean how can someone do the duties of a genin if the person was blind. Eye transplants where not possible the damage to the very nerves that connect to his eyes were as some would say damaged beyond possible treatment. His mother screamed that Naruto must have done it, that he sought revenge on what her son did to little Mikoto. The truth of the matter was that he was addicted to fumes from a rather unusual paint, the paint was even discontinued due to the toxicity of the fumes. But when smells it caused hallucinations, and increase release of endorphins. The woman never got over this fact, and never admitted that her son was addicted to the paint she once used to paint pictures as a hobby.

The Uchiha also had a few problems. A chuunin by the name of Fugaku had made several petitions to the Clan Head that to have an arrange marriage contract drawn. The marriage would be between himself and Mikoto the daughter of the Clan Head. Fugaku was very specific that he wanted to marry her as soon as she was of Chuunin rank. Naruto was present when he made the request. He interrupted Fugaku and told him that Mikoto would never be forced to marry anyone against her will, and if they tried he would call for a duel to the death on the person who tried. He was basically saying that someone would force Mikoto into a marriage over his cold dead corpse.

Mikoto was so surprised by his reaction, why would Naruto do that? Why would he put his life on the line like that? He grew up with her but was it possible for Naruto to actually have romantic feelings for her? The questions where never asked to Naruto and therefore they went without answers.

2 years later the academy graduated the class that had the 2 top students to earn perfect scores in all tests. The top kunoichi was none other than Mikoto Uchiha, but the thing that shocked everyone was that Naruto Uchiha was called the top ninja student. A very upset Choza Akimichi, and Inoichi Yamanaka were seen as the two runner ups.

In the history of the academy there had never been a student that graduated so young from the academy, but the question that was on all the minds of the jounin, and the teachers was who would be the dead last? It turned out that the dead last was none other than Koji Inuzuka. The kid spent so much time napping that he actually had to do remedial attendance classes to even graduate.

If the formula to put teams together held true, the team would be Mikoto, Naruto and Koji but who would be the brave jounin to want the position of teacher of this group? The anbu commander specifically asked for leave from his post to be the jounin teacher of this team. Sakumo Hakate, took a leave from the position he loved just so he would teach this team. Is that was not surprising maybe the fact that Orochimaru wanted to have young Naruto as his apprentice, but he told him that he would never abandon Mitoko. Orochimaru understood and was very happy to hear that it was for something as important as loyalty to his family.
