Chapter 2

Naruto opening his eyes blinked finding himself in a hospital room hooked up to many machines. He was about to take them out when he heard a cough. He turning his head blinked spotting the old man standing at edge of his bed with an amused look on his face. Naruto looking the old man dead in the eyes asked "Just when were you going to tell me about the giant fox sitting inside of me?"

Sarutobi flinching hearing this sat down in the chair and said "I was going to tell you when you were ready. I was trying to give you a normal life."

Naruto rolling his eyes said "Old Man the villagers made sure I didn't have a normal life so that was pointless."

Sarutobi sighing said "Yes I see that. Now tell me about last night, and start from the beginning."

Naruto nodding informed the old man about everything that happened, including the genin exam. Once he was finished he blinked spotting the old man rubbing his temples. Sarutobi sighing said "It seems as Iruka was right. Mizuki had been tampering with your scores. This means he and I will have to go back through the years of your test and fix the mistakes."

He sighing said "I hate paperwork."

Naruto feeling bad for the old man was about to tell him about the Shadow clones when Oathkeeper, Kyuubi and Leo said "Don't you dare give him that information for free. See if he can get you some new clothes, a better home, a training ground, and a few scrolls on genjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu, ninjutsu and creating your own jutsu, also medical jutsu."

Naruto nodding asked "Hey old man wanna know the secret to defeating paperwork?"

Sarutobi hearing this quickly got on his knees and said "Yes please give it to me. I'll give you anything you want."

Naruto sweat dropped and thought "The paperwork must really be getting to him." Naruto coughing said "Alright here's what I need. I need new clothes, because these orange and blue ones, while I like them aren't exactly fit for a ninja, I need a better home, as living in a shitty apartment is not for me anymore, a private training ground so I can practice my skills away from prying eyes, some scrolls on genjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu, ninjutsu, medical jutsu, Fuinjutsu and creating my own jutsu."

Sarutobi having pulled out a notepad had written everything down and said "Done, now tell me the secret."

Naruto smiling said "Shadow Clones."

He watched as Sarutobi face palmed and said "It was right there in front of me the entire time."

He sighing asked "Would you like to get your new clothes now?"

Naruto jumping out of the bed and disconnecting the machines said "You know it."

Sarutobi smiling said "Come follow me so that we may take care of your little list."

Naruto nodding summoned Oathkeeper in her sheath and tied her to his waist with her chain. He then followed the old man out of the hospital.

He followed the old man to a building he had always wanted to go in, but had been terrified he would be treated like he was in the other stores. He taking a deep breath walked into the store and felt his eyes almost pop out spotting all of the weapons, clothing and scrolls lining the walls. He could hear Oathkeeper giggling at his face. He hearing the old man talk to someone turned and blinked spotting a rather burly man with short brown hair talking to the old man. He blinked when the man smiled at him and said "Kid you are welcome to shop here anytime you want."

Naruto hearing this smiled and nodded to the man. He walking over to the clothes, started looking for something that suited him. He blinked when Oathkeeper told him to pick black tank top. He picking it, slid it over his head and had to admit it felt good. He then spotting a pair of metal platted gloves put them on his hands and liked the way they felt. He spotting a pair of jeans with holes in the knees picked them, and walked into the backroom to change into them. He walking out in them liked the way they felt. He kicking off his old beat up blue ninja sandals put on a pair of steel toed boots. He then spotting two armbands picked them out and put them around each arm. He finding a mirror looked himself over and couldn't help but feel that something was missing. He then spotting a black bandana with a skull and a black mask that extended from just below his nose to this neck grabbed them and put them on. He looking in the mirror nodded as this was his look.

He walking over to the old man asked "What do you think?"

Sarutobi looking him over said "It's more like a ninja, and could possibly be imposing."

Naruto smiled at this. He then hearing a bell chimed watched as a girl with brown hair, porcelain skin, and doe brown eyes walked in carrying a large scroll. She not even paying attention to her surroundings said "I finished the weapons ordered Dad. I even tested them."

The burly man laughing said "Ten-Ten we have company."

The girl hearing this looked at who was in the building. When her eyes landed on Naruto she blushed and thought "Hello Hottie." She shaking her head walked over to him and asked "What's your name?"

Naruto was about to answer when Leo said "Say My name is unimportant what is important is finding out how and angel such as yourself fell to earth."

Naruto blinking said what Leo had said and blinked when Ten-Ten blushed deeply. Naruto hearing laughter turned to Sarutobi and asked "Old man what next?"

Sarutobi smiling said "We go find you a new home. I've already got the scrolls you asked for and I have the perfect training ground for you."

Naruto nodding turned to Ten-Ten and said "It was nice meeting the two of you Owner-san, Tenshi-chan."

He then left the store behind Sarutobi. Ten-Ten with a heavy blush on her face asked "Who was that dad?"

The man laughing said "Someone you should watch carefully as he ascends to the status of legend."

Later Naruto could be sitting in his new training ground. Around him clones could be seen practicing the many jutsu he had read on the scrolls, some could be seen drawing seals, others were practicing with the new threads he could summon. The original Naruto was doing Push-ups while weighing his body down with his earth affinity. He was basically doing push ups with his body weighing 200 pounds. Why he was doing this, well he wanted to be stronger and his body needed to be in better shape for the training Oathkeeper and Kyuubi had planned for him. He was also increasing the power of his mind as he had realized that with a better grip on strategy he could understand things before charging in. Plus if he was going to be making Genjutsu he needed to be smart enough to trap his victims better.

He had been doing this for about two hours and was just now starting to feel the effects of the weighted down body. That didn't mean he wasn't sweating, no he had taken off his new shirt and his body was very sweaty. One of his clones finishing up the book the art of war closed his eyes and said "That was the most boring book I have ever read."

He then dispelled. Naruto had to agree with the clone the book was boring, but it had given him a few pointers for a battle. Another clone finishing his book said "The Human Anatomy is one scary and freaky thing."

It shivering asked "Why in the hell do we have to have so much liquid in our body?"

It then dispelled and Naruto had to stop himself from puking at what he learned. The next clone closing his book on the mind and how it's working said "Next time I see Ino I'm giving her a bundle of flowers. That was the most complex shit I have ever read."

It then dispelled and Naruto agreed with the clone. A clone finishing it's book on toxins and poisonous flowers said "To die by poison is such a painful death."

It then dispelled. Naruto rolled his eyes as this clone was a little too dramatic. The clone reading the latest version of the bingo book said "Most of these people are freaks. Even this one about the Green Beast of Konoha."

He then dispelled and Naruto gained wide eyes and said "I pray to god to never meet the Green Beast of Konoha, ever."

He then stopping his push ups switched to sit ups. Another clone of his reading the book about genjutsu stopped and wrote something down on the paper below him. It then went back to reading. The clone practicing with his fire jutsu called out "Fire Style; Great Fireball Jutsu!"

A huge black fireball went soaring at a dummy. Another clone cried out "Fire Style; Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"

12 medium sized fireballs tore into the dummy. Another clone said "Fire Style; Fire Dragon Jutsu!"

A huge black dragon made of fire swallowed a dummy. Naruto looking at the group of clones said "Dispel you've done what you're supposed to do." The clones nodding all dispelled. Naruto closing his eyes for about ten minutes said "All of those fire jutsu and I've already got them down. No handsigns neither." He then went back to his sit-ups.

Naruto would continue this for the next week, getting stronger, smarter and faster. He had even started creating his own jutsu. His clones had also pulled off the Bone Dragon's Roar. It was kinda badass if Naruto had to say so. He could now use Oathkeeper with ease. It was like she was his arm, and she loved it. He had also gained a lot of muscle and was up to 650 pounds. The thing that made Naruto was the proudest about was the genjutsu he had created around his mask and bandana. He didn't even have to take the mask off to eat of drink, and he had freaked Ayame out the first time he had did so. He had created a few seals also, but they were mainly for his clothes. He had created self repair seals, and a few insulating seals. Right now he was walking towards the academy reading the scroll his clone had written about Genjutsu. In his pockets were other scrolls about genjutsu or other types of jutsu. He also had his brand new headband as his other armband. He at first was going to put it on his forehead, but then decided to replace his armband with it. He walking through the gates, walked past the glaring parents and into the building. He walking down the halls said "Genjutsu invade one or two of the five senses."

Reaching where he was supposed to be he opened the door and said "A double layered Genjutsu often takes up more then one sense."

He ignoring the eyes on him found a seat beside the sleeping Shikamaru and sat down. He rolling up the scroll looked at Iruka and said "Sorry I'm late you see this talking firefly wanted to teach me how to fly, and I was all for it. I followed the firefly to it's clearing and it told me in order to fly I must believe and have a pure heart. Well I closed my eyes and to my shock was able to fly. So I flew to Kumo and got a bottle of Sake and a new pipe for the old man. When I got back I found out that the Sake was spoiled so I had to pour it out. The pipe I had gotten for the old man had been stolen so."

Iruka hearing this blinked and shook his head. Coughing he informed everyone that he was proud of them and that they were now ninja of the village hidden in the leaves. He then getting to the teams stopped when he got to team seven and said "Team seven is Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke."

Naruto hearing this wanted to groan as he was on a team with Sasuke, but kept it to himself. Iruka ignoring Sakura's outburst told the class about the other teams. He then said the sensei would be here to pick them up after lunch. Naruto once Iruka stopped talking reaching into his pocket and pulled out a scroll. Placing it on the desk he pushed some chakra into the kanji for flowers. A poof of smoke later and a bunch of purple flowers appeared. Naruto picking them up and ignoring the eyes on him handed the flowers to Ino and said "Here you go Ino. I feel some respect for you."

He once she took the flowers sat back down and pulled out his scroll about Genjutsu and started to read once again. Ino looking at the flowers, held them out to make sure they weren't a prank. When nothing happened she smelled the flowers and smiled as they smelled heavenly. She liked them, because they were her favorite color. She looking at Sasuke actually started to think. Sasuke would never have given her flowers or said that he respected her. She looking at the reading Naruto liked his new look, and thought that the sword attached to his waist gave him this badass feeling. She smiling decided that Sakura could have Sasuke, she wanted Uzumaki Naruto now.

A few hours later Naruto was once again in his training ground as he pondered his sensei. Hatake Kakashi had not only showed up four hours late, but had been very cryptic and had given them a supposed order not to eat breakfast before tomorrows test. Naruto putting a finger on his chin said "He's trying to get us to read in between the lines. He didn't order us not to eat, it was only a suggestion. The 33.3 percent of failure is most likely meant to get us to work together." He nodding to himself said "The being 4 hours late things is what stumps me." He shrugging created a few clones and said "Oh well I'll deal with whatever may come tomorrow, for now it's time to try out my new genjutsu." He smirked when the clones groaned.
