Naruto
Wings of a Butterfly
Chapter I
Naruto was sitting atop the Hokage Monument atop the Yondaime's Head looking out over the village. Reflecting on his failures he failed the academy graduation exam once again this made three failures. Naruto let out a sigh, he failed because he couldn't make a stupid clone.
Naruto didn't bother sticking around the academy after his test; he didn't want to listen to the villagers and their hushed whispers of how he didn't deserve to be a ninja and what would happen if he by some chance actually managed to pass. Naruto knew he didn't have a family his mother died in child labor and his father died fighting the Kyubi.
So Naruto had no one to help him learn what he needed to in order to actually perform a jutsu as simple as the Bunshin. Could Naruto perform the Henge? Yes. Could he perform the Kawarimi? Also he perform the fucking Bunshin no Jutsu? No he could and he couldn't figure out why.
Naruto also questioned why he was hated. His birthday was October tenth, the same day as the Kyubi attack. Naruto knew the Yondaime had defeated the Kyubi by sealing it in a newborn infant. Naruto knew he was that infant because of how he was treated but why did it have to be him?
Naruto had asked the Hokage countless times about his parents and who they were. But all he ever got was the beat around and no concrete answers about his parents. Hell at this point Naruto was convinced his parents were so hated or did something so terrible that he didn't want to know who they were. Naruto knew his surname Uzumaki came from the late Uzushiogakure no Sato that fell in the last ninja world war. But beyond that he had no clue who his parents were.
As Naruto sat there he saw Mizuki climb out of the Hokage's window with a large scroll on his back. Naruto narrowed his eyes knowing that Mizuki was stealing the scroll. Naruto rose to his feet and jumped down onto a nearby rooftop and took chase after Mizuki.
Mizuki was heading out of the village not knowing Naruto was behind him. Naruto couldn't let Mizuki escape so he used the shunshin to get ahead of Mizuki and cut his escape off.
"Stop Mizuki-sensei." Naruto said standing firm on a tree branch.
Mizuki did in fact stop.
"So the demon thinks it can stop me, a real ninja?" Mizuki asked in a condescending tone.
"I don't know if I can stop you but I do know I can't let you leave with that scroll." Naruto said drawing a kunai from his pouch.
"We'll see about that, demon." Mizuki said with a sinister smirk on his face.
Naruto knew that he was out matched in both skill and experience. Naruto was just an academy student, he wasn't a ninja. Mizuki on the other hand was a ninja who had trained and completed many missions. But Naruto had to try.
Mizuki took one of his fuma shuriken off his back and began to spin it on his hand. As it built up speed Naruto was already preparing to use the kawarimi to avoid getting hit with the weapon.
As Mizuki unleashed the weapon it flew at Naruto. Just before it hit the young blonde Naruto used the kawarimi to avoid the attack. Naruto appeared behind Mizuki and rushed the chunin from behind. Mizuki Twisted around and kicked Naruto in the gut, sending the boy into a nearby tree.
Naruto rose to his feet breathing labored slightly from the impact of his body hitting the tree. Mizuki ran through a series of hand seals and slammed his hands down on the ground.
"Doton: Tsuchi no Yari!" Mizuki shouted as a large spear made out of rock erupted from the ground and hit Naruto.
Naruto barely had time to use the Kawarimi to save his life from the spear. Naruto was in the treeline watching Mizuki. Naruto didn't know any jutsu that could combat Mizuki who was determined to kill him.
"What's the matter, demon? Are you scared?" Mizuki taunted.
Naruto didn't rise to the bait. Naruto let out a breath and steeled his nerves. He had to think and quickly he was fighting a losing battle and he knew it.
Mizuki let out a chuckle. "What's the matter, demon? Did you give up?"
Naruto sighed and thought about his options. Naruto thought about his idol, the Yondaime. Naruto knew that Minato could create a ball of pure chakra without hand seals but could he replicate it without any training?
Naruto put his right hand out in front of himself and gripped his wrist with his left. Naruto concentrated and began to mold chakra into his right hand. After a minute of molding his chakra a small sphere appeared in his hand.
Naruto smirked and poured more chakra into his hand. The sphere turned into a disk and Naruto began to make it spin in his palm as if it were a tree leaf he was trying to spin like the chakra control exercise. When the disk began to spin at a high speed Naruto threw the disk at Mizuki.
The disk made a whistling sound as it flew through the air alerting Mizuki to its presence. Mizuki turned to see the blue disk and cursed as he barely had time to dodge the disk. As Mizuki bent backward the disk cut some of his hair and left tiny wind cuts along his face.
"So the demon hasn't given up." Mizuki said with a smirk.
The next thing Mizuki heard was the sound of a thousand birds chirping. As Mizuki turned toward the sound he was impaled by a tall man with gravity defying white hair and the lower half of his face masked.
Naruto saw the man impale Mizuki and let out a sigh of relief.
"You can come out now, Naruto." the man said.
Naruto walked out from his hiding place and collected the scroll from Mizuki's dead body.
"Thank you for saving me. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to defeat him." Naruto said.
"That disk you threw where did you learn it?" the man asked.
"No where I made it myself trying to recreate the Yondaime's Rasengan." Naruto explained.
"Well don't give up on mastering that disk. If you could combine wind chakra with that disk it would be lethal." the man praised. "Now come on, let's get this scroll back to the Hokage."

One week later Naruto was sitting in his usual seat in the Konoha Ninja Academy. However Naruto decided to update his wardrobe; he now sported a black bodysuit, a burnt orange jacket, black ninja sandals, shin guards, and black fingerless gloves with his new Hitai-ate tied firmly around his left arm.
As Naruto sat there he felt a familiar chakra signature walk up to him and stop.
"So you made it after all." came the voice of one Uchiha Sasuke, best friend and rival to the young blonde.
"Yea someone sponsored me and vouched for my abilities so I got around needing a clone to get my rank." Naruto said.
Sasuke smirked, her eyes shining with amusement.
"Who sponsored you?" Sasuke asked.
"Hatake Kakashi." Naruto replied.
"Kakashi? You mean the one they call Kakashi the Copy Nin?" Sasuke asked.
"Tall white hair with a half face mask and a hitai-ate covering his left eye?" Naruto questioned.
"Yes." Sasuke replied.
"Then yes him." Naruto answered the initial question asked to him.
"Why did he sponsor you?" Sasuke asked.
"Well he said I have potential, I just need someone to train me properly." Naruto replied.
Before the conversation could continue the door to Class 1-A opened and in walked Umino Iruka, head instructor of the class.
"Alright class I want to once again congratulate you all for making it this far. Today you all take your first steps as Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village. Now I want you all to listen for your names and what team you will be on." Iruka said loudly. "Team One will be…"
Naruto and Sasuke sat there waiting to hear their names.
"...Team Seven will be Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura. Team Eight will be Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuga Hinata, and Aburame Shino. Team Nine is still in rotation. And lastly Team Ten will be Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji." Iruka called off the last of the teams. "You are all dismissed until one o'clock you can either remain at the academy and eat or go out just be back to meet your Squad Leaders at one."
Naruto rose from his seat and walked out of the classroom. Naruto didn't hate the academy but he did hate the negative attention he got there so he usually left any chance he got.
Sasuke followed Naruto since she couldn't stand all the attention of her numerous fangirls who were under a misguided illusion she was a boy. Seriously, just because Sasuke had small breasts and wore a baggy shirt didn't mean she was a boy. Plus Sasuke never said she wasn't a boy but still she didn't like all the attention from the fangirls.
The belief that Sasuke was a boy also kept the boys at bay since she didn't want to be the center of attention with all the boys trying to seduce her and get her hand in marriage for her clan legacy. Naruto was the only one who knew the truth, mostly because Sasuke trusted him and she knew he didn't care about her clan status.
