Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
A/N: I actually did not expect this chapter to be so long, although that's not really a bad thing.
For those who are wanting some action, don't worry, the bell test will be next chapter :)
Kakashi watched as his new students parted ways after having lunch at the ramen stall. Sasuke was headed in the direction of the Uchiha district, while Sakura headed toward her own home. However, Naruto was headed in a completely different direction from his apartment, and the silver-haired jounin decided to follow him.
Kakashi trailed behind Naruto from the rooftops as he made his way through the village. After a while of walking, he saw the young blonde walk into a dark alleyway. Before Kakashi decided to enter the alley, he saw someone exit onto the streets and his eyes widened.
It was himself.
For some reason, which he assumed he will find out soon, Naruto decided to take the appearance of his sensei. Kakashi kept following his impostor (no amongus pls) until he reached the Konoha library and entered. The real Kakashi transformed into a disguise and discreetly followed him into the building.
He continued to trail 'Kakashi' until he came to the stairs leading to the shinobi library, the collection of all sorts of jutsu and techniques that are publicly accessible to the ninja of the leaf village. As Naruto wasn't a true genin yet, he couldn't access the library, which is why he must have disguised himself as Kakashi, but this made Kakashi realize that Naruto was too much of an idiot, trying to enter such a guarded area. Then he remembered the announcement the Hokage made last night of the young jinchuriki stealing the scroll of seals and realized he should have expected the blonde to do something like this.
He decided to just wait there for the Chunin guards by the entrance to kick him out before giving him a strict lecture. Well, strict by his standards.
Naruto disguised as Kakashi went up to the two chunin guards, who asked for identification. He saw with a questioning gaze as the false jounin pulled out a ninja license which the guards inspected and gave a nod.
Kakashi stared dumbfoundedly as the guard spoke, "Sorry bout this Kakashi-senpai, but you know how we have to follow the rules, even for elite jounin like you."
The disguised jounin overhearing the conversation quickly checked his pockets. His ninja license was nowhere to be found on his body. When had Naruto taken it from him?
His panic was soon calmed down as he realized that the sensors on the doorway would instantly dispel any illusionary jutsu like Naruto's henge but immediately regretted it as he watched his impersonator walk straight through the doorway without any issue.
Kakashi was puzzled at how a simple henge was able to bypass the system but was more concerned by the fact that a fresh hyperactive genin now had access to jounin level information and jutsus.
As he did not have any way to get in himself, all he could do was wait outside for Naruto to come back out of the shinobi library to confront him.
Fortunately, he did not have to wait very long as he exited the library in less than 5 minutes, meaning something happened, or Naruto entered the library already knowing what he wanted to get.
He waited for Naruto to enter the alley again to jump in and catch him in the act.
Naruto jumped in surprise and got into a defensive stance, but on seeing his sensei looking at him with that weird eye smile of his, he sighed and mumbled something about his senses.
"Kakashi-sensei, I can explain…"
Kakashi stopped him right there, "I want to know how you got my ninja license and how you managed to get past the illusion jamming seal on the doorway to the shinobi library."
Naruto explained as he pulled out Kakashi's ninja license. "You left your license in your clothes. Here you can have them back." Kakashi blinked at him as the blonde handed him the freshly washed clothes and the license card. 'I've been following him around all day, when did he get the time to wash them?' "And as for how I went through the security system in the library, that's a little secret of mine, which requires a bit of backstory."
Naruto continued, "You might not know this sensei, but most of the village hates me. That includes the majority of the shopkeepers who don't let me buy stuff for their stores. So when they found out I can henge into other people to buy stuff, they all came together and decided to place illusion dispelling seals in their shops. But it wasn't until I found some old lady who transformed herself to look younger enter one of the shops that I realized that they had the seals in the first place. Meaning that all this time, the seals never worked on my henges, like I have some special henge. That's all there really is to it, sensei."
The jounin looked at Naruto with remorse and asked, "Why didn't you tell the hokage about it?" and Naruto answered, "Jiji is probably busy with all his hokage duties. I don't want to bother him with something that doesn't really bother me in the first place."
Kakashi squinted at Naruto, then said, "Interesting… But you still impersonated a higher ranked official in order to gain access to information. And whatever you took from the library, I'm going to need them back."
Naruto activated puppy dog eye no jutsu, "Please Kakashi-sensei! Sasuke has his taijutsu and that fireball jutsu thingy of his and even Sakura is good at genjutsu. All I have is shadow clones and my loud mouth. There's no way we can pass your test if I'm holding them back like that." He pulls out 2 scrolls, 1 brown with the kanji for Earth and a green one with the kanji for Wind. "Besides, they're just two c-rank jutsus, nothing super dangerous or anything."
Kakashi felt the guilt in his mind as he stared into those cerulean eyes and gave in to the boy's whim. "Fine. I don't see how you're going to learn two c-rank jutsu in half a day, but make sure to give them back to me tomorrow. And don't you dare do something like this again."
Naruto had a wide grin on his face as he walked away, "Thanks sensei! And don't worry about it happening again. I won't need to once I pass your test tomorrow and become an actual ninja!"
Kakashi gave one last exhausted look at the blonde before returning back to the rooftops.
Naruto walked back to his apartment, deep in thought. 'I really need to work on my sensing abilities. It would've been a problem if it was someone else who caught me doing something like that.'
Naruto opened the door to his apartment, if it can be called that, and turned on the lights. He looked first to the broken window, then the shards of glass covering his bed, then the white plastic bag on his floor with literal stink lines coming from them.
Naruto sighed and got to work removing the bag of dog poop from the apartment. 'I wish I can get recognised by the village sooner. I really don't want to deal with this for the next 2-3 years.'
Naruto cleaned the crime scene and began to work on the window. He had gotten used to having to repair it frequently as his landlord had completely avoided the jinchuriki entirely. While that did let him live in the however so terrible apartment rent free, it also meant he had to repair it himself with no help whatsoever.
He was surprised he still had the skills after not doing it for so long in his other life as he admired his handiwork. It wasn't an expertly crafted window, but it was more than enough to suit his needs as a window.
He then put the two scrolls on his bed and began to practice flowing chakra through his body and to get a feel for it. He already knew the jutsu he had selected, as in his previous life he had attained mastery of all ninjutsu at a level far greater than even the 3rd hokage, 'The Professor' who was already world renown for his massive arsenal of ninjutsu in the current era.
After getting a good grasp of his current and truly abysmal chakra control, he began to practice and prepare what he needed for the next day's test.
Two c-rank earth and wind jutsu… What do you think they are?
