( A.N. So Naruto will have seals, he will use several swords, and he will most likely NOT! summon snakes. Feel free to make any suggestions on anything. I own nada. )
( Last Time )
Just as Naruto was getting ready to finish off Mizuki Orochimaru and the Third appeared both with kind smiles.
"Congratulations you passed Naruto. Honestly we could have passed you at the academy but we needed you to do this for two reasons. First we were hoping you would weed out the potential traitor." When Hiruzen said this he gestured vaguely to Mizuki. " Second we needed to test your abilities. After all not just anybody gets put on a team under Orochimaru." That did it, Naruto the loudmouth, the prankster king, and battlefield tactician extraordinaire fainted. Yep just passed out of the cave floor.
( Hokage's Office )
Naruto awoke to see Orochimaru and the Hokage staring down at him. He still had a bit of fanboy in him due to Orochimaru. It was in no way that crazy kind of fangirl crazy more like idolization. After all it was Orochimaru that inspired him to master the sword and kenjutsu in general. As Naruto pondered this the image began to get hazy and the text was just about to become italic they spoke up. " Naruto how are you feeling?" The old hokage was very worried considering first he fainted then he got all wavy. " I'm fine but i have a lot of questions. First why did you," he said indicating Orochimaru, " have me steal the Forbidden Scroll. And if you're about not just anybody gets put on a team under me you best explain." Both ninja chuckled at the fact that he thought he could intimidate them. " Well this was orchestrated because Sarutobi hear still had some doubts as to whether you were qualified to work under me. Obviously you have met the qualifications."
Naruto was pissed that anyone thought that he was unworthy but he held it back and decided to finish asking all of his questions, " Alright then next question where the hell is my headband and where is that mystical ninja store?!" He said this with the " Trademark " Foxy Grin, a crazy glint in his eye, AND a deadpan expression. For their part each ninja held their composure well.
How the hell is he able to combine those all into one thing!?
WTF why did I have to get a crazy one?
Like I said they held their composure well. Sarutobi chose to answer this one , " Starting with your headband I will give you the plate before you leave and you can go get whatever color cloth you want. As for the ninja store it is right across from your favorite soda place." Naruto could not believe it. The store where he could buy real gear was so close to his favorite soda shop. ( In this Naruto loves ramen but is almost literally addicted to soda. Think Omoi? and lollipops. )
" Alright I got one final question before I go. How did I do on the actual exams?" He still needed to win the bet after all. " Well a complete analysis of your skills sug-" " Just tell me if I placed higher than Anko." " Fine if you really want to know you did beat her." At that moment Naruto went through several thoughts Yes I beat Anko, I get to treat her to Dango : ), wait I get to treat her to dango :( , I'm going on a date with Anko =]. Every thought happened in less than a second. Naruto at that point had, had enough. He walked out of the office and headed home.
( Academy 1 Week Later )
Anko was worried. Not about the teams like she should be, noooooooooooo she was stuck worrying about Naruto. The stupid blond hadn't been seen all week and now he wasn't even hear for team placements. " When I get ahold of him I'm going to murder him." At that exact moment naruto walked in sporting a new look. He was wearing black anbu pants, a green long sleeved V-neck, and most notable of all was the black headband placed crookedly on his head. As always the sword hung at his hip. " Why would you murder me Anko? If you did that i could never buy you dango.
She was about to yell at him for all the worry he had caused until she fully registered what he had said. She had forgotten about the debt but seeing a chance to embarrass him she went for it, " Why Naruto, are you asking me out on a date?" Now normally Naruto would have gotten red in the face and stutter but he had expected this and rehearsed his answer. " Well since you want it to be one so badly I guess it will be." She was shocked, not only did he respond but in such a manner.
At that moment Iruka walked into the classroom. " Alright listen up I'm going to announce Genin teams. Team Ten will be Chouji, Ino, and Kiba. Your sensei will be Asuma." He paused hearing the two groans and one munch. " Team Nine will be Hinata, Shino, and Sasuke. Your sensei will be Kakashi."This time he was treated to a simple hn. " Lastly Team Seven will be Naruto, Anko, and Shikamaru. Your sensei will be Orochimaru."
At his declaration the entire class minus Naruto fainted. Naruto took the liberty to summon shadow clones to wake them all up. " Okay Anko and Shika follow me the Third told me where we are meeting our sensei." While the aforementioned team had questions they decided it was too troublesome to argue.
( Underwater Cave ( Bet you weren't expecting THAT. AGAIN!))
Orochimaru was meditating when his team entered the cave. "Welcome students. Today we will simply introduce ourselves. I will begin, I like my sensei, snakes, many forms of battle and science. I dislike toads, treason, drugs, and pedophiles. My dreams for the future are to train you guys. OK Shikamaru you are next." Foregoing his catchphrase he began, " I like sleeping, clouds, strategy, and a girl. I dislike work, loud noises, and most blondes. Dreams for the future take over my dad's job." While a little surprised Anko went next, " I like poisons, dango, pranks and an idiot. I dislike spicy things, blood, and predictability. Dreams for the future be a good ninja and have a family." Naruto who had just opened a somehow cold bottled cola began, " I like soda, ramen, kenjutsu, and maybe someone. I dislike perverts, a certain book series, and uniformity. Dreams for the future are make bonds and become the best kenjutsu master." Somehow he had said that all without pause and finished his soda.
" You may be wondering why you were put on a team like this. well the answer is so very simple. You three will be taught everything I know and become my legacy."
( A.N. Sorry about the crappy ending but I was tired. Now I have a question that I need desperately answered. Why the hell do so many people give naruto fishnet shirts? Its not like its for looks because they always cover up the fishnet with a shirt. And it isn't armor because there is no fic where naruto is saved because of his fishnet. Whoever gives me a suitable answer first gets to pick between finding out about the blades or a cyber cookie.)
