Chapter 1

After Akuma caught up to Naruto it didn´t take them that long to reach the Tower. When they entered Akuma immediatly noticed the glare the secretary gave Naruto, he made a note in his head to ask Naruto later why everybody seemed to give him those hateful looks."So what is he like ",the dark haired boy asked his companion,"who"asked his blond companion "The hokage you baka", he said "Hey don´t call me baka "the blond boy shouted. "So could you please answer my question now", Akuma sighed. "Well he is like a grandfather to me and he always helps me when i´m in trouble" Naruto said," Don´t you have any family to do that ", Akuma asked him but regretted it as he saw the look on Narutos face. " I don´t have any family i´m an orphan, what about you do you have a family" , he asked. "yeah ,i have family ,a whole clan actually but i ran away from there ." Akuma answered "Why would you do that i mean isn´t family something you should stay with" Naruto asked him with a small hint of disbelieve in his voice. " Well you remember i told you about the kekkei genkai",Naruto nodded,"normaly everyone in my clan is born with one of our three ,but i had to have the luck to be born with all three so they kind of threw me out of the compound", answered Akuma with saddnes and regret in his voice .

"Oh,sorry I didn´t want to bring up any bad memories " Naruto told his partner with regret written on his face." No ,problem I had to get that of my soul eventually ,but how about we get into the hokages office know ", Akuma said and pointed to the door. Neither of them had noticed that they went to the office while talking . As they entered Naruto immediatly was greeted by the aged village leader which noticed that naruto didn´t enter the office alone and asked " Naruto who is your friend ", Naruto turned to Akuma and said "That´s Akuma ,he saved me when i was hunted by the mob of angry villagers " Naruto answered happily. "Well if that is so then i have to thank you for protecting my surrogat grandson, but i have to ask ,because i don´t seem to recognize ,are you from here" the aged man asked him. "No ,lord hokage my name is Akuma Heremori i was kicked out of my clan in mori no kuni and i am here to wish for asylum and to be integrated into the konoha ninja force ", The red eyed boy answered him. " Naruto seems to trust you so I will grant your wish you will be enrolled into the academy in the same class as naruto the only thing that has to be cleared now is where you are going to live" the old man said . " Oh he can live with me ,I mean you bought me the whole apartment complex and it is so lonely their ", Naruto threw in. " Well if our friend here doesn´t have a problem with that then he can live with you" Sarutobi said and lokked at Akuma. " I don´t have any problem with that , I mean i don´t even now why I should have a problem with that ", Akuma anwsered the village leader with a small smile ." Great ,here are your keys , Naruto will sho you where the apartment is and tomorow you will join him in school ," both boys nodded and made their way to the door when Sarutobi said. " Oh and welcome in Konohagakure Akuma Heremori ". With that the two boys left the Tower and went straight to their Home.

The next day

After having a good breakfast ,Naruto eating Ramen and Akuma producing a bowl of chilli peppers by transforming his index finger into some kind of branch they readied themselves for academy . In addition to his normal clothes Akuma now had to short swords on his lower back and to shuriken pouches on his waist . When they left the house the two immediately took of into a sprint to reach the academy . When they entered the two of them were greeted by Iruka Umino:" So you are our new student and also Narutos first friend ,right ?" "Indeed Umino-sensei my name is Akuma Heremori and i hope that we won´t get any problems" Akuma answered. " I´m sure about that Naruto please go to class we will join you immediately . The first thing Akuma noticed when they entered were the looks everyone gave him ,some were curious ,others were jut passiv but there was one that was a glare and it came right from a black haired boy ,with a blue shirt and black eyes. "Hey Duckbutt why are you looking at me like that did I do something wrong to you or what," Akuma said as he glared back at the boy . The boy just sneered and looked away ." Well class this is Akuma Heremori he will be your classmate from today on so please be nice, so after that is said wh don´t you take a place there is a seat right next to Naruto ", Iruka said. The day was mostly boring theory was something he already knew then it was time for taijutsu class and everone went out to the training fields. After some spars which were mostly boring for him to look at there came the moment that peaked his interest " The next fight is between Sasuke Uchiha and Akuma Heremori", The Teacher named Mizuki said. On the sidelines every girl of class cheered for the duckbutt haired boy. " Your not even worth my time , i´m an Uchiha an elite you can´t beat me" Sasuke said smugly. " We will see ", was Akumas answer. What followed was something nobody could believe Akuma beated Sasuke into the ground like a boxer a punching bag . When the time was up Akuma didn´t even have a scratch " Just because you were born into a clan doesn´t mean you are superior to everyone hard work is also a factor and people that are arrogant are mostly beaten because of it ", Akuma said and went back to the class, after that day Akuma learned the horror of fangirls.

Timeskip to Graduation Day

Over the last two years Naruto and Akuma became great friends . Akuma was also able to bring Naruto to change his clothes he now wore a pair of black pants and a black top with orange stripes on the side(for a better idea how the outfit looks take a look at the naruto pic on my profile) Now they were waiting for their name to be called to take the exam not to say naruto was quiet nervous because they had to make three bunshins and he wasn´t able to make even one correctly " Come on Naruto don´t be nervous you will be able to do it" Akuma tried to cheer his blond friend up ," I know it´s just that i was never able to make a correct bunshin so i am not sure if i am able to do it this time. Just as Akuma wanted to Answer him his name was called by the teacher :" well see ya " He said and entered the room . " To pass you have to make three bunshins of your choice " Mizuki told Akuma " Ok " was Akumas answer . Yoton: Yobunshin no Jutsu he exclaimed and spit out three globes of lava that after 2 seconds looked exactly like him. "Well done you pass," said Iruka and handed him a black headband . As he left the room he saw that Naruto entered the room after waiting for some time Naruto came out without a Headband and mumbled something that sounded like i didnt pass and just left without saying anything else Akuma shrugged and thoutght "He will tell me later " after that he left to do some shopping and to eat dinner, on his way home he saw Iruka running by and decided to follow him . As he caught up to him he asked his teacher " Iruka-sensei where are you going and why are you running that fast "," Naruto stole the forbidden scroll we have to catch him " was the answer of his teacher. A single thougt was in the heads of both of them "Why would you do that Naruto ". When they finally found him Iruka told Akuma that he wanted to confront Naruto alone . Akuma just watched the whole thing , it seemed like Naruto was tricked by Mizuki to steal the scroll with the promise that he would be able to graduate that way . Mizuki appeared and started to attack both of them, Iruka took the attack to protect Naruto and after that they ran away . After following them for a while and hearing that Naruto was the Kyubi he just couldn´t watch anymore Naruto had the same thought and so they left their respective hidding places to protect their teacher like one they said " For every hit you land on our Teacher we will hit you 1000 times ", " And how exactly are you going to do that " Mizuki exclaimed with a smirk . "Like this"! they said . Mokuton: Senju Kiba Akuma cried and in the next second it seemed like one thousand wooden arms sprouted from his back. Taju Kage Bunshin no Justu Naruto shouted and one thousand copies of Naruto appeared around them . What followed could only be described as a bloody beatdown , when they finally stopped Mizuki looked like a bloody pulp. " Guess we overdid it ", said Akuma and grinned at Naruto . " Maybe", Naruto said and did the same . After that they retrieved Iruka and made their way back to the Hokage Tower to explain the whole Situation. " So Mizuki was a Traitor and you two defeated him " said the Sandaime. The two nodded and grinned at the aged leader " For your Part in protecting our village you Naruto Uzumaki are from now on a Gennin of Konohagakure . Narutos grin got even bigger and and jumped at the old man to hug him. A nod was shared between Akuma and Iruka before they made their way to stop Naruto from smothering their Hokage , after finally removing Naruto from the old Hokage and a pair of coughs from said man they got dismissed and went home to prepare for the next day.
