SUMMARY: At the young age of 3, our lovable protagonist, Naruto began his ninja career. With a natural genius mind that comes from his father, the Yondaime Hokage, and a seemingly unlimited amount of chakra from his mother, the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero, and Kurama, the Kyuubi, he flies through the ranks and was a Jonini at the age of 5. Personally recruited into the ANBU by his adopted grandfather, the Sandaime Hokage, he gains he mask of the Kitsune. When he turns 6, he gets promoted to ANBU Captainbdue t his excellent record and strenth. At the age of 8, he is promoted to the Commander of the ANBU, answering only to the Hokage himself. Despites having such an outstanding record, Naruto is still a young child with a perchance for mischief. When he take a prank on the Hokage too far (at least according to the Sandaime), he gets punished and sent to the Academy as a student while retaining his position as the ANBU Commander. However, when his punishment ends, Kakashi, who was listed as a Jonin-sensei, pushed the ever patient Hokage a little too far with his tardiness and is demoted all the way back to being a Genin. Being the only person in which Kakashi will listen and won't be able to intimidate, Naruto is roped into being the Jonin-sensei of Team 7.

Team 7's registry is now:

Sensei:

Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto a.k.a Bloody Kitsune (ANBU Commandeer)

Subordinate (Minions):

Uchiha Sasuke (Genin)

Haruno Sakura (Genin)

Hatake Kakashi (Written Rank: Genin / Real Rank: Elite Jonin)

CHAPTER 3 – UNWILLING SENSEI

Academy Testing Room:

"Alright, Naruto, make a Bushin" Dolphin said to me, snickering.

Jackass. He knows that's the one thing I'm incapable of doing even with most of my chakra sealed up. I'm soooo going to assign him to be my eyes at the Academy when I'm done with this.

With a resigned sigh, I tried my best even though I knew how futile it was. My chakra is just way too dense. *POOF* I spared a look and yup, as I thought, it was a half dead clone. Sigh….

"FAIL!" Jackass (Dolphin) said. He better be enjoying this since he's going to be doing this for a loooooong time.

"Come on Iruka, he technically did make a clone." Traitor (most likely) said.

"You know I can't do that. He can't even make ONE clone (is that a snicker I hear?! Asshole, I was joking before but now it's SOOOO on!) and all the of others made at least 2 clones" Jackass said.

Hmmmm…. That actually gives me an idea. Maybe if I make a hundred clones with my chakra sealed up I can make a Bunshin. Then again, why would I make an illusion if I can easily make real ones. Oh well, time to act depressed and throw the bait out.

I waited around after class to see who passed and who didn't. It's always good to know who your potential recruits can be. Frowning as I hear the civilians muttering about how it was good that I didn't pass. If only they knew that I was the one organizing how to keep them safe. Oh well, they'll know soon enough since this farce is over and I'm now double digits. Strange thing to be proud of, sure, but it was the shackle that was finally released so I can be me.

"Naruto!" Muzuki called out to me. Ohhh! (Hook)

As I sit there listening to Muzuki give out his former friend's information about his past, I wonder if the TI would mind if I helped out with this one since it was also a betrayal of friends.

"Yeah, but I still wish I could've graduated" I muttered. (Line)

I noticed him glancing around and then acting friendly he said, "Actually, there's a special way to graduate. You just need to get this scroll and learn a jutsu there." (Oh! Sinker!)

Hmmm…. Now, for the hard decision… Should I just beat him up now or later. On one hand, I really, really need to beat him that I could barely stand it. But on the other hand, he might have an accomplice where he'll meet up later. Ohhh… my desire….. or protocol. I decided to just get it over with since with this I would be done. We can just interrogate him later for the rest of the information. Plus, no point in getting the darn scroll since I already know what's in it with a few of them of my own creation. Oh, and did I mention I get to drop my persona.

After I finished beating him up, I called to an ANBU with my commander tattoo, I decided to doodle on his face. *Poof* I turned to see an ANBU kneeling. Huh, one of the new ones then. Ordering for the guy to be dropped off at the TI department with a note saying I'll drop by to help later, I headed off to see Jiji.

Hokage Tower

The Sandaime sat in front of his crystal ball and smirked. He had an excuse now to order Naruto to be Kakashi's sensei, the only person that Kakashi would listen to, besides himself. Of course, he could order him but he knew that he would just pawn them off to his subordinates.

As I appeared in the Hokage office, I felt a shiver go down my back as I watched the Hokage smirking. Feeling very much like a trapped mouse, I began my report while removing my persona's clothes as I talked. What? It's hot underneath them, since I have my ANBU gear underneath.

The Hokage was amused as he watched me change and report in a serious voice to him. I put my persona's clothes in a pile and set it on fire with a flick of my hand. Ahhh. Finally free!

"Good work, Kitsune. You've done a good job. Now, I noticed at the end that you didn't follow the protocol to the T. You know, we have them in place for a reason." Said the Old Man.

"What the hell are you talking about? The information can still be taken out of him with interrogation. You're smoking something, old man? Or are you going senile?" I cried out. He never nitpicked before. I got the job done in the end so what does it matter the process. He's scheming something.

"Be that way, but since you haven't followed the protocol, I believe a punishment is required" he started to say as I groaned. "Since you're registered as a jounin I think I'll have you teach a team of genin. Plus, you could always use the company of kids your age."

I stared in horror at him. Was he serious? Because if he's serious, I would have to beat him up until he gets a different idea. Does he realized I was with those god damn brats for 3 years already and now I have to teach them for god knows how long until they reached the chuunin rank.

"Are you joking?" I asked just to make sure he was serious. As soon as he nodded I released all my restrictions and attacked. He might not know what hit him but he sure would feel it when he wakes up. Making sure that he's still alive, I looked around wondering why I wasn't stopped. Calling out to the ANBU I asked just that.

"Why didn't you stop me or try to help him?" I asked them.

"We figured he deserved it. We know you won't kill or maim him. Plus, he's taking you from us. AGAIN! Plus even if we did, what can we do?" said Cat.

Awww. Their loyalty to me warmed. Their loyalty to the Hokage, not so much. But oh well, they are still in the "Eager Puppy/Creepy Stage". I put the old man on the couch and stomped out toward the ANBU Headquarter. We're getting new recruits today so I need to get some things done.

ANBU Headquarters

After entering through a different entrance this time, a dry cleaners, I headed towards my office to meet the new recruits. On the way there, I somehow picked up a couple puppies, I mean subordinates. Sigh, I really need to give them D-rank if they keep following me like this. But first thing first, ramen! Recruits can wait.

Turning into the cafeteria, I saw that it was almost full. Deciding to ignore them for ramen, I quickly order my regular 16 bowls and began to devour them and tried to sneak out. Nope, no such luck. With a quick threat of D-ranks if I was followed out the door, I was left alone. Knowing that would last maybe 5 minutes at most, I quickly headed towards my office.

On the way there, I noticed the new recruits getting the tour. Deciding to observe them as they took in their surroundings, I followed. With a quick shush motion to the guides, I followed behind.

ANBU Headquarters - My Office

When we arrived to my office, I quickly released the seal and gestured to the guides to let them in. Since I already dismissed my clone while I was eating so I may process today's work while I ate, the recruits entered an empty office. The guide and me came in after them and shut the door. We just stood behind them underneath a shadow jutsu while they shuffled nervously.

Deciding to test their patience, I just stood behind them and waited. While we waited I was talking to the guides in ANBU signals. After getting their perspective of each recruit, which took about 30 minutes, I began to hear the recruits' gossip.

"Hey, do you have any idea who the Commander is?"

"I overheard that he's the devil and if you do anything wrong you get horrible punishments" (Yeah, I could see D-ranks as being horrible punishments to my puppies)

"I heard that he's been the Commander since the Founding of Konoha" (snort, where'd that come from)

"I heard the punishments are inhumane and will traumatize you" (ah, Gai's and Lee's punishment)

"I heard he could beat every one of the ANBUs by himself" (true but so could the Hokage)

"I heard he's the youngest ever to become a Commander and ANBU" (true and still is the youngest)

"I heard he'll come after you and chase you to the end of the earth is you hurt his precious people" (ah, my Bloody Kitsune moniker)

"I heard he's a midget" (that is soo not fair, I mean I am 11 for crying out loud) Hearing the snickers next to me, I decided I waited long enough.

"And I heard you guys were the new recruits and not some fisherman's wives who liked to gossip" I spoke up behind them. At this point you could literally feel the amusement off the two guides.

The recruits stiffen and remain silent as I walked towards my desk. You could tell as soon as I got into their view, as the confusion rolled off in waves. Taking my time, I looked over the recruits as they stood there watching. Deciding to play with them a little, I donned my dumbass persona.

"So, what you guys doing in the Commander's Office? Did you get in trouble? Are you going to go on a mission?" I asked childishly.

"Oh, it's just a brat. That scared me for a little bit. Thought it was the commander himself that heard us." Grunt 1 said.

Ignoring them for a bit as I looked over some paper work that I needed to fill and sign. Oh, and stamp too it seems. Now where's that dumb stamp. I started to look through the drawers for the stamp when I heard, "Hey! What are you doing going through our Commander's desk!" I look up and saw them all coming towards me with weapons to stop me from 'messing around'.

Well, it seems like I can start now. But before I can beat them back, they were suddenly surrounded by ANBU with weapons pointed at them. Huh, was I that detracted in looking for my stamps that I didn't notice 30 people coming in.

"Down puppies! No killing the new recruits!" I said. I saw them wondering if it was worth my displeasure if they did anyways and quickly said, "NOW!"

Grumbling, they fell in line behind me, glaring at the new recruits who are now very nervous with 30 ANBU pissed at them. Awww…. Cute, but annoying at times. Oh well, time to start since I've played around enough.

"As you can see, harming me, threatening to harm me, or even thinking about harming me is VERY bad for your health and continuing life." I pointed out to the recruits. "Now, let's get started. First, congratulations, you have been handpicked to join the ANBU. Second, I am the Commander Kitsune. Each of you have special skills you've mastered and skills you need refining. For the first 6 month we would be pounding these new skills into you. Then you would be given an evaluation to see if another 6 month is needed. During these times you will be required to live here. Look around you. In the ANBU we are family. These are your brothers and sisters. You will eat together, bathe together, and sleep together. You will also respect one another. We will be around to watch you, so any misconduct will be punished appropriately. As you were gossiping before, my punishments are VERY creative. Isn't that right guys?" I asked the group behind me. Seeing the shudder I smirked. "Any questions? No? Good." Completely ignoring the hands up, I continued. "Since these wonderful ANBU behind me 'volunteered', they will be teaching you the rules, do's and don't, and locations of the training fields and entrance to the Headquarters."

"Hey! Since when did we volunteer?" Wolf asked indigently.

"When you guys came in when I told you not to disturb me" I replied deadpanned. "Now, shoo. I got work to do." Making a shooing motion. When nobody moved I got annoyed, "Oh, does that mean you guys want so spar? I do need to relieve some stress."

The 30 behind me never moved so fast. "Hey wait! Take your charges!" I called out behind them. My office have never been emptied that fast.

Finding my stamp, I quickly finished my paperwork and picked up my new students file. Noticing that one was extremely thicker than the others, I decided to start with that one first.

Name: Hatake Kakashi

Rank: Genin (until evaluation by sensei)

Huh? Say what?! How the hell did an A-rank nin almost S-rank be a genin? Since I know his skill, mission record since I've assigned them, and all that jazz, I skipped to the end to see what he last did since I KNOW he was a jounin just last week.

Comment: Demotion due to lateness.

Ahhh….. right. That little habit of his. Okay, I can work with that. He'll be easy since I know he won't sassy back at me. Going to the next file, I couldn't help but groan.

Name: Uchiha Sasuke

Rank: Academy (waiting Genin test by new sensei)

Okay, that's all I need since I was in the same class. Next.

Name: Haruno Sakura

Rank: Academy (waiting Genin test by new sensei)

Oh say no more! Again, the same class. I debated on what to do. I have an Avenger, FanGirl, and an ex-ANBU to teach. Since I've been basically ordered to pass this group since Kakashi is in it, I decided to just skip the test. Now, should I train them like how the new recruits are trained or should I train them the way other teach them…..Decisions, decisions.

Hmmm…..oh look, a conveniently placed coin. I'll flip the coin, it's not like it's all that important, it's just their future we're talking about. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said it like that, now it just sounded horrible.

Moving on... Heads, they get training the ANBU style. Tails, they get training the normal and boring Jonin to Genin way.

*Ping* And we have heads! Okay! ANBU training style it is!

"Dragon." I called out to my second in command through the ANBU tattoo and waited.

Knock Knock. "Come in, Dragon." As I waited for him to get seated I filled out the authorization for my new team.

"Inu is coming back." I randomly said still filling out the papers. "The dumb old man was smoking something and gave me a team of genin and one of them is Inu. And since the coin told me to, I'm going to train them ANBU style. I need you to make sure they don't go anywhere they aren't allowed. Meaning pretty much everywhere except training field A so I'll be reserving that one for an undetermined time."

Silence. Huh. I looked up and Dragon was just sitting there in shock. Waving my hand I said, "Hello? Dragon?"

"Huh? Sorry I was trying to figure out the code you just gave me and I have no clue which code to implement to even begin decoding your order. Can you tell me what you're talking about without all the smoke and daggers?" He asked, entirey confused.

"That wasn't a code." I deadpanned.

"WHAT?! Why would Kakashi be a genin? And why are you a jounin sensei? You're OUR Commander! And what's this about a coin telling you to do things? Where's the coin that dared to do that! I'll crush it! I'll get a group together right away and crush it. It's going to spend an eternity in the TI department!" an outraged Dragon cried out.

Sweatdrop. Really? Of all the things he concentrated, he concentrated on the coin. I am never leaving them again if this was only due to a month away. If I leave for any longer they would've probably taken over the village, put it on wheels, and move it to wherever I was.

"I flipped a coin." I replied and was going to say more but decided that it wasn't worth the headache. "I just need you to tell all the ANBU and recruits that they aren't to harass any of my students. Understand? And leave my coin alone!"

"Fine. But next time….." he left the threat hanging.

"Fine. Fine. Now go!" I told him.

Headache averted. Now if only my students would do the same. Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I'll see them in 3 days.

Please RR. Any feedback is good feedback!
