I do not own naruto or the characters within im just playing in kishimotos sandbox. anyway on to the story:
A lone man in plain clothes with a straw rice paddy hat covering most his face, pushed a cart carrying leafy green vegetables. He lifts his hat up a little and wipes the sweat from his brow.
"Phew it's still early in the day, this should be as good a place as any to set up shop" The man say's brightly to himself. As he begins to set up his sign Best Cabbages in all of Konoha grown fresh organic no CMO's (Chakra Modified Organisms) Gluten free 100 Ryo for 1 200 for 3 The man was so enthralled in his work, that he barely noticed an orange blur come rocketing towards him. As he ducks down the orange blur uses his back as a spring board and launches over him and his cabbage cart.
"Sorry old man!" Shouted the orange blur as it kept running.
"Fucking Brat! Watch where you're going! You almost hit my cart!" Shouted the old man standing back up and turning towards the rapidly decreasing back of the kid "kids these days" he muttered, and turned around just in time to see a man, clothed in what looked like pink paint covered Konoha nin standards. Stumbling back to get out of the paint covered ninja's way the old man's heel caught the edge of his sign. As he began tumbling backwards he reached for the only thing that could have saved him; the ninja. As he grabbed Mizuki's arm he threw him off balance sending them both into the cabbage cart destroying it.
"Damnit old man, get out of the way! NARUTO YOU WONT GET AWAY FROM ME!" Mizuki Shouted with venom dripping from his voice. As he scrambled back to his feet and began the chase once more, crushing cabbages under his feet in the process.
"MY CABBAGES!" The Cabbage vendor cried as he crumpled to the ground cradling his precious cabbages.
As Naruto raced through the town Mizuki hot on his trail. He began to wonder where a safe place to hide would be he caught a glimpse of a Ninja with a Kitsune mask waving him over to an ally. Normally Naruto's danger sense would be going off, but for some reason he felt like he could trust this man to help him. Almost like a calming energy washed over him, Naruto then began to follow the man who seemed to disappear into the ally. As Naruto took this detour he saw the man further in the ally beckoning him from the corner. Following him deeper he saw the man put his hand to a square on the wall, and push causing a previously unseen door to slide open, and then close behind the man. Being extremely cautious Naruto followed the man's actions pusing the secret button with his hand and walking into the previously closed room.
The interior was dimly lit with decent accommodations, in the center was a table with a few chairs, in the corner held a box T.V on top of a mini-fridge it seemed to be a decent hideout for someone. It made Naruto wonder who just lead him here, and why? Standing behind the table on the opposite side of Naruto. Stood a man with a Dark brown pony tail Anbu like attire and a fox mask.
"You are one amazing and reckless kid, you know that Naruto?" Said the man behind the mask "You're the dead last in class, you don't have an ounce of talent with Taijutsu, your Ninjutsu is just as abysmal, don't even get me started on your Genjutsu." He rattled off causing Naruto to wince at each fact the man spouted off He may have been right, but that didn't mean Naruto had to be happy about it. "And yet, you can lay an artfully hidden trap, hide from an ex hunter Nin, and almost out run a chunin who was hot on your tail." The man praised causing Naruto to give a fox like grin and rub the back of his head sheepishly
"It's not often I get praised like this, but why did he bring me here"
"My only question." Began the ninja as he paced closer to Naruto "Is why you would follow an unknown masked Ninja, into a random room without knowing who he is, or what he wanted?" The man in the masked questioned. Stunned Naruto put his hand to his chin in thought.
"That's a good question why did I follow him in here. Well even now he doesn't feel like the villagers feel. He kinda feels like Grandpa Hokage"
"I guess it's because you don't feel like all that bad of a guy fox." Replied Naruto sheepishly putting his hands behind his head in a stretch.
"Feels like huh? I guess that confirms that bit of knowledge." The man said as he began to remove his mask. Revealing Iruka under the mask grinning down at Naruto.
"I-I-IRUKA SENSEI!" Sputtered out Naruto as he took a few steps back.
"I was wondering what Lord Hokage meant by, we are similar you're like a block of raw potential from your pranks to you being able to run and hide like no one's business! You're just like me when I was your age!" Beamed Iruka.
"What do you mean by that Iruka sensei?" Asked Naruto shyly from all the praise he wasn't used to getting.
"When I was your age I was lonely too, my parents died in the Kyubi attack protecting this village. When that happened my life changed I began pulling pranks, and being the class clown because if everyone was laughing the pain was gone, but because of that my grades suffered because why would I want to be in school just another place to be lonely. That stayed that way even to this day, I think I know why Lord Hokage put me in your class."
"W-Why i-is th-th-that Iruka Sensei?" Sniffled Naruto through sobs, for Naruto knew exactly how that felt, and as he could feel the pain emanating from this man
"So we could help each-other be a little less lonely" He said as he ruffled Naruto's hair "And so I could mold you into one of the best ninjas out there" He added his tone brighter and an aura of familiarity and hope surged through Naruto from the touch. "But first we have to go see Lord Hokage." He finished firmly.
"What why?!" Naruto asked incredulously
"Because you're still in trouble" Iruka said a smile still on his face as he grabbed Naruto's arm firmly and Shunshined to the Hokage's office.
In The Hokage's Office~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What you did was very reckless Naruto my boy" Said the Aged Hokage from behind his desk "Mizuki is very angry, and that poor merchant's business suffered he is talking about reparations for his 'Precious Cabbages', for these reasons I am assigning you detention till the end of the academy year and graduation tests take place-"
"Oh C'mon old man that's not fair. I didn't even destroy the cart it was Mizuki." Naruto Began cutting off the older man.
"Naruto my boy, please let me finish now; you will have detentions until the end of the academy year and graduation tests take place. These detentions will be served with Iruka, where he will get you back up to speed with your class, and hopefully ready to graduate." Said the wizened old man with a smile. "Now get at it you have one to serve right now, and Iruka."
"Yes Lord Hokage"
"I am glad you now see the difference between a kunai and the scroll that keeps it" Said Hiruzen with care in his voice. With that Iruka nodded and grabbed Naruto and disappeared leaving only a few falling leaves.
At the academy training grounds~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright Naruto we have a little over a year to whip you up into tip top shape, before I can come up with a schedule for us to work with, I need to see what your baselines are beyond what your paper work says." Said Iruka going into teacher mode Naruto nodded along
"I'm ready to do whatever we need to no Iruka sensei!" Naruto Said with enthusiasm
"Alright I want you to go ahead and show me your henge" Said Iruka
"Ok if that's what you want Iruka Sensei!" Naruto said with a fox like grin "SEXY JUTSU" Naruto shouted as he made the handseal. In a puff of smoke Naruto was replaced with a busty adult female version of Naruto with steam covering her… assets. This caused a nosebleed to form almost rocketing Irukas head back from the force.
"NARUTO YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY PLEASE" Iruka shouted using his patented Demonic Big Head Jutsu and gave him a chop on the top of the head leaving a welt and dispelling the henge.
"Wait…" Iruka thought. "That made contact with his head it's a henge that's not supposed to do that" While wiping the blood clean Iruka waved over the boy who was nursing the welt on his head and said inquisitively "Naruto can you henge into me for a moment. There's something I want to see." As Naruto complied Iruka began inspecting it "Naruto this is amazing, do you know what this means?" Said Iruka with awe in his voice
"What does it mean Iruka Sensei?" Questioned naruto.
"Your henge isn't an illusion it's a perfect copy and it can sustain being touched. This would change how we do infiltration missions forever! Naruto I need to know what you do differently than the class to achieve this." Iruka stated while pulling out a pen and pad there was no way he was going to let this opportunity go to waste.
"Well…" Naruto started poofing back to himself "I don't really know Sensei, I just gather my chakra and, I focus on the image of the person or thing I want to become, and I use the handsign and then poof. I thought everyone did it this way." Finished Naruto rubbing the back of his head. Iruka put his hand on his chin thoughtfully "hmm. I wonder what he does differently could it be how much chakra he's using… wait he struggles with Genjutsu and-" Irukas eyes widened
"Naruto I want you to gather as much chakra as you can for me, think you can do that?" Iruka said with an excited air about him.
"Yes Sensei!" Naruto said without hesitation the one on one training doing wonders for the small boy. Naruto then closed his eyes, and put his hands in the ram seal gathering as much chakra as he possibly could. Suddenly to Iruka he saw chakra begin to emanate from Naruto. As the pressure from the chakra began to spike more, and more Iruka was in awe at sheer depths of chakra this young boy had. They nearly rivaled Lord Thirds.
"Naruto I think I know what your problem with the acadamy three are." Iruka stated with a feeling of excitement for his pupil bubbling up.
"Yeah!? What is it!? Tell me! Tell me!" Naruto said with a ferver in his voice.
"You simply have too much chakra." Iruka stated simply
"Huh?" said Naruto scratching his temple.
"You have too much and no control over it, when you use too much chakra it can change the effect of a jutsu which can have positive effects or negative effects. In your case when you use the henge you overload it with chakra changing what should be an illusion to a solid henge, a positive reaction. However when you use the clone jutsu you overload it causing the clone to come out sickly and not useable. The negative side, for most students this wouldn't be a problem because they don't have as much chakra as you do. Imagine this how hard is it for you to pour water out of a small bottle into a glass, Not very hard right? Now imagine you're trying to pour water into the same glass but using a bucket? It would be much harder." Iruka instructed.
"So how do I fix that?" Naruto questioned.
"Simple we begin training your chakra control and I know just where to start." Stated Iruka with a smile that naruto would begin to curse later.
Smoke filled the room of the Hokage's office as he stared at the young man, and the boy he considered a grandson from the glass orb as he smiled. "Minato if only you could be here to see what your boy will be able to do. He may just yet surpass you."
