I would like to also thank Izuna Namikaze for giving me ideas and motivating me along with others on getting the next chapter out! Thanks guys!
Chapter 9
The one man that was once called 'God of Shinobi', for his prowess on and off the battlefield. Who has mastered all of the shinobi arts and all of the jutsu's in Konohagakure no Sato besides personal jutsus from clans. He was feared when he was on the battle field, he was respected in his village, and he was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather.
There was only one man that he thought that passed him in every aspect as a shinobi and that man was, Namikaze Minato. The Konoha no Kiiroi Senko (Konoha's yellow flash) the fastest man alive who destroyed an entire battleon made up of a thousand of Iwagakure no Sato's best forces singlehandedly in a mere few seconds. He singlehandedly won them the third shinobi war with that feat. After the war was over Hiruzen decided to step down and named his new successor.
He chose the man who he thought could lead Konoha to greater heights then he ever could. He chose his former student's apprentice Namikaze Minato as the fourth hokage. Minato's run as Hokage was short lived. A couple of years after his inauguration to the mantle of hokage the Kyuubi no Yoko attacked nearly destorying there village in the process. Minato stopped the great beast and ended up sealing the Kyuubi in his newborn son, Naruto. Minato sacrificed his life by using the Fuinjutsu - Shiki Fuin (reaper death seal).
Hiruzen always regretted that he didn't take Minato's place. Naruto would've had a better life and maybe Minato could've saved Kushina in the process as well even after having a bijuu ripped out of her seal that contained the Kyuubi.
Hiruzen let out a deep sigh and maybe he wouldn't be in the perdicament he was in now. A council meeting. A council meeting that involved a certain blonde and his promotion to genin.
"I say we should imprison the beast! He is getting to strong for his own good!" exclaimed a middle aged civilian named Hibiki. All of the civilian council agreed, the shinobi council just shook there heads wondering why the cilvilians were getting into shinobi affairs... again.
All the major clans were the heads to the shinobi council. The Hyuuga clan head was, Hyuuga Hiashi. Hiashi had long black hair and featureless white eyes. He wore a loose fitting robes with a long-sleeved, brown haori. He had two daughters Hinata and Hanabi Hyuuga. Hiashi was neutral to the situation but he didn't see any problems with the Jinchuriki being a shinobi.
The Nara clan head was, Nara Shikaku. Father of Nara Shikamaru. Shikaku and his son looked identical besides the scars on the right side of Shikakus face. He had dark hair tied up in a ponytail that resembled a pineapple. He had black eyes as well as a goatee. He knew who Naruto was and who his parents were he even encouraged his son to be friends with the boy. Unlike the civilians he saw no problem with Naruto being a shinobi.
The remaining clan heads were the Akimichi who was lead by Choza, and Chouji's father. The Yamanaka, lead by Inoichi he was also Ino's father. The Inuzuka lead by Tsume, She was Kiba's and Hana's mother. The Aburame lead by Shibi, he was Shino's father. They all thought along the same lines as both Hiashi and Shikaku. They were also the advisors for the Hokage, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo. These three were indifferent towards Naruto. (A/N- If you read other fanfics or watch the Naruto anime you know who they are. No point in going into detail with them.)
"What do you say Hokage-sama, should we imprison the demo-" Hibiki was cut off by Hiruzen when killing intent flooded the room. The whole civilian council could hardly breath on the verge of pissing themselves from the presure of his K.I. (Killing intent).
"Careful what you say around me Hibiki-san my law is still ineffect. If this is what you all called me here for then I'm leaving. Naruto is under my command now which involves shinobi matters. Do you have any power over my shinobi? No...you... don't... really? I had no Idea. If thats the case then CIVILIAN if we ever have a meeting like this again about Naruto or any of my other shinobi that are under my command, YOU will be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law for treason! And that goes for the rest of you. Do I make myself clear?" Hiruzen said with a menacing glare towards the civilian side who were sweating bullets.
"Hai, Hokage-sama." They chorused nervously.
"This meeting is ajourned." Hiruzen said as a headache threaten to split his head in two.
Hiruzen made his way out of the council room and back to his office. 'I'm getting to old for this.' he thought with a sigh.
'I wonder how Naruto is doing.'
With Naruto Training ground three one hour later...
Speaking of our favorite blond, he was panting heavily with sweat pouring down his face with his traditional fox-like smirk ever present on his face. Naruto was covered in cuts and bruises his new attire that he had gotten from his surrogate brother now ruined thanks to Kakashi. Naruto could careless though he was having the time of his life sparring against the one man he called, brother.
Naruto wasn't the only one looking worse for wear. Kakashi was crouched down trying to regain his breath these were the times he cursed that he only had above average sized chakra reserves. His reserves have grown a lot since he had been training Naruto but his reserves weren't on the level of Naruto's. Not even close. Kakashi's compared to Naruto's was like comparing a pond to an ocean. The scary part was that Naruto's reserves have grown daily.
Kakashi hasn't been pushed like this in a long time. Not that he would admit that to the young blond but he would admit he was quite proud of his protege. He has grown so much from the boy now from the boy he took under his wing only a few years ago. If he kept growing at this rate he would surpass his father and then some. He was brought out of his musings by said blond.
"You had enough yet, Kakashi-nii because if your not I've still got alot left in the tank to keep going!" said Naruto with a confident smirk as his Shinwagan eyes outfaced his surrogate brothers lone Sharingan eye who was still crouching on the ground.
"Arrogance, will only bring your own downfall, Naruto. Always remember that." Kakashi said appearing behind Naruto with a kunai at his neck and the crouched 'Kakashi' poofed in smoke.
"Always remember to look-" The cyclops was cut off by a kunai held to his throat.
"Always remember to look underneath the underneath." the blonde said with a fox-like smirk as his clone poofed out of existence.
"And it isn't arrogance... You could call it confidence and loads of it heh-" he was cutoff as two hands shot out that grabbed both of his ankles and he was pulled underground all the way to his neck.
"Doton : Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu! (Earth Release : Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)
"Whatever you say, Naruto. That 'load of confidence' would've gotten you killed if I were anybody else." he said with an eye-smile while covering his sharingan with his headband knowing he was the real Naruto and not another clone. With another 'pop' the other 'Kakashi' went up in smoke.
"Damn it! I was sooooo close! I thought I had you this time!" said Naruto with a pout while deactivating his shinwagan and receiving a sigh in return.
"Yeah, I'll admit that was close..." stated Kakashi making the blonde smirk before Naruto could respond Kakashi added "..But.. You still have alot of training to do before you can beat me!" said Kakashi with a childish smirk not that you could tell with most of his face covered up.
"Oh yeah, cyclops! Why don't we go another round and see who wins this time or are you a chicken?" replied Naruto while hopelessly failing to get out of the ground so he could pummel the scarecrows face in.
Kakashi eye-smiled while waving his finger back and forth and making 'Tsk' sound making the blonde try even harder to get out of the ground.
"Sorry Naruto. Maybe next time. Right now, we have to go get your other two teammates from the academy, remember?" he said while doing a few handsigns and stomped the ground which Naruto raised up and out of the ground.
"Fine! But, next time Im'a kick your ass Kakashi-nii! You hear me?!" Naruto said/yelled at the one eyed jounin who seemingly was engrossed in his Icha Icha novels or porn or whatever you want to call it.
"Eh, you say something, Naruto-otouto?" asked kakashi with and eye-smile.
Naruto had multiple tick marks and without saying another word left in a swirl of wind.
"Did I say something wrong?" the one eyed jounin said with his same traditional eye-smile still in place.
Academy ten minutes later...
"Where the hell are they!" screeched the pink banshee making Sasuke cover his ears with his hands. Not that he could really blame her for how long they've been waiting for.
"It's almost been three hours! I swear the next time I see Naruto-baka, I'm gonna kill him!" screeched Sakura again.
As if on cue Naruto made his way through the window and Kakashi through door.
They both said simultaneously "Sorry I'm late a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way around!"
Naruto and Kakashi had a look of shock on their faces and said again "You too?" Which they both nod.
"Yeah, it's the third time today!" the ex-anbu captain said.
"Man, that cats a dick!" replied the blonde with a raised fist.
Both Kakashi and Naruto burst out into a fit of laughter while getting two angry glares in return.
Kakashi turned to the other two in the room and said "I like this kid he even had me believing that hehheh."
Sakura had a tick mark the size of hokage mountain and screeched out "Liars! Your both liars! We've been waiting for three hours for you two!"
Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke covered there ears to prevent from ruptured eardrums.
"Damn, Ms. M.C. Pipers, take a chill pill, rub your forehead or something. Damn I think I went death!" said the blonde while digging in his ear with his pinkie.
"What was that?!" screeched the pinked haired girl again making them cover there ears again.
"Woah, calm down. Since everyone is here meet me on the roof in five minutes." said the silver haired scarecrow before leaving in a sealless leaf shunshin and not be out done by Kakashi, Naruto left in a swirl of wind. Sasuke who saw it looked on in shock. Sakura wasn't really paying attention since she was fuming to herself about having to wait for three hours for her sensei and the dead-last of there class doing kami knows what. Heh heh if only she knew...
'How does the dobe know how to use the shunshin... it doesn't matter once a dobe always a dobe..' Sasuke mused to himself while making his way to the roof and leaving Sakura fuming before she followed after the Uchiha.
Academy's roof six minutes later...
About six minutes had past and finally Sasuke and Sakura made it to the roof of the academy. They both saw Kakashi leaning on a handrail and Naruto was sitting on the stairs in front of Kakashi.
"YOUR LATE!" Kakashi exclaimed making Sakura fumed even more and Sasuke just gave his normal response 'hmph' while he continued his walk and sat on the stairs next to where Naruto was sitting.
"Coming from the person who was three hours late to meet there genin for the first time!" Sakura screeched making the males cover there ears... again.
"Well, that is true but I am your Jounin-sensei so that means I out rank you and when I say five minutes, I mean five minutes. And who said I would be three hours ago a shinobi never reveals what time they arrive because little information like that could get you killed." replied Kakashi in a nonchalant tone while turning a page of his book and continued reading which made Sakura fume even more if that was even possible.
Kakashi looked up from his book once Sakura sat down next to Sasuke and closed his book with 'snap' putting it away in his weapon's pouch.
Clearing his throat he said "Ok Introductions are in order. So why don't you all start off with introducing yourselves."
"Introduce ourselves what are we suppose to say?" asked Sakura with a confused expression.
"You can start off with your name then the things you like, dislike, hobbies and your dreams for the future things like that." he said in his same nonchalant tone.
"Could you start off to give us an example of what you mean?" asked pinkette which recieved a sigh from the blonde.
"For the girl who graduated the top of her class for the Kunoichi's you sure are pretty dense..." said Naruto while he was eating an instant cup of ramen... wait how in the hell did he have ti- you know what nevermind.
"WHAT WAS THAT!" exclaimed a furious Sakura with a tick-mark growing on her forehead.
"Whoa calm down Sakura-chan. Wouldn't want you to burst a blood vessel in that head of yours and lose the little brain cells you actually have left from all that screeching you do." replied Naruto with his patent foxy-grin.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" screeched Sakura before she could lunged at Naruto Kakashi spoke up.
"That's enough! Sakura sit down and stop yelling at your team member and Naruto stop insulting your team member and Sasuke stop pouting as if someone kicked your puppy!" Sasuke just looked at Kakashi with a 'what the hell, I didn't even do anything' look.
"We are a team and you need to act like a team. What would happen if I was down for the count and we were on an important mission what would you do... no answers... didn't think so. We are team seven. So act like a team." Kakashi looked at his future team and saw Sakura lower her head, Sasuke just glared probably because of that 'kicking his puppy' comment and Naruto just grinned and waved at Kakashi.
Kakashi narrowed his lone eye at Naruto and thought 'Your actually trying to make me put some work into this oh I got something planned for you ya little shit .'
There was an awkward silence that settled between the four that lasted a little over a minute before Kakashi spoke up.
"Ok back to introducing ourselves. I'll start off. My name is Hatake Kakashi. There are many things I like and many things I don't like that I don't fell like explaining. I have lots of hobbies and a dream for the future 'hmm' never really thought about..." Kakashi trailed off as it seemed he was lost in thought.
'Wow that was useless he only told us his name.' thought Sakura whos eyebrow was twitching furiously. Sasuke just narrowed his eyes at Kakashi an gave a 'hmph'.
'Heheh Kakashi-nii will never change hahaha.' thought Naruto with a grin.
"Ok, you next pinky." said Kakashi which recieved a glare in return.
"Fine. My name is Haruno Sakura. The things that I like is... (looked over at Sasuke) 'squeal'.. I mean the person I like is.. (Glancing back over at Sasuke) 'squeal'.. my hobbies are.. (Glancing to you know who) 'squeal'.. Dreams for the future.. (One more glance to Sasuke) 'Another high pitch squeal'.." said sakura with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Is there anything you don't like?" asked Kakashi with an annoyed tone.
"OH! Ino-baka for trying to steal my true love!" replied Sakura.
Naruto elbowed Sasuke discretely gaining Sasuke's attention and with a "what" Naruto whispered "That is one crazy fangirl you got there, Teme. She is practically mind fucking you right not."
"Ehh, don't remind me dobe." Sasuke whispered back with an annoyed expression.
"Ok the kid with the 'kicked puppy', your next." said Kakashi pointing towards Sasuke.
'hmph' "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I hate alot of thing and I don't particular like anything.. what I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality.. I am going to restore my clan and to kill a certain someone.." after Sasuke finished Naruto and Kakashi slightly glance at each other with a look of concern before looking back at Sasuke. Sakura just looked at Sasuke with a dreamy look.
"Oh ok, Your up my favorite protege." said Kakashi with an eye-smile. Sasuke narrowed his eyes on that 'protege' comment while Sakura.. well she was daydreaming about said Uchiha.
"Protege? What do you mean by protege?" interupted Sasuke as he looked over at Naruto eyes still narrowed.
"You will find out soon enough, Sasuke. But right now it is Naruto's turn to introduce himself. You had your turn to speak and now it's Naruto's turn to speak. Go ahead Naruto."said Kakashi with an eye-smile.
"I'm sorry, you say something Kakashi-sensei?" asked Naruto with an innocent look as if he didn't hear Kakashi.
"I'm starting not to like you..." said Kakashi with the same eye-smile.
"I'm sorry, could you repeat that I couldn't hear you." Naruto replied with his 'foxy grin'.
"The floor is yours introduce yourself." 'ya liitle shit' said/thought Kakashi.
"Oh! Well, why didn't you just say so! My name is Uzumaki Naruto. There are lots of things I like such as Ichiraku Ramen, Hokage-Oji-san, my Nii-san, training, working on new jutsu there are many other things I like but I would rather not bore you and waste your time with the rest. The only dislike I can think of is waiting three minutes for cooking instant ramen. My hobbies are training, reading, eating all the different types of ramen, and new ways to better my self as a shinobi. My dream for the future is to restore the Uzumaki clan and also to become the Hokage but not just the Hokage but the greatest Hokage even greater then the fourth and... to bring peace to this hate filled world, an unbreakable peace!" exclaimed Naruto who was practically oozing confidence.
Both Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto with a dumbfounded expression. I mean who could blame them not many people would proclaim what Naruto just said.
Kakashi cleared his throat to gain his genins attention before he said "Since we have a better understanding of each other we can move on. Tomorrow we will have our first mission."
"What type of mission are we going to have?" asked Sakura with a curious expression.
Kakashi just gave her a eye-smile before saying "A survival excercise."
"A survival excercise.. What type of survival excercise?" asked Sakura.
"It is a survival excercise to see if we are good enough to become Genin." replied Naruto as he was spinning a kunai around his index finger.
"If we are good enough to become Genin.. Wait I thought we were already Genin?! We already passed the genin exam!" asked/yelled Sakura with a furious look in her eyes.
"That exam was just for Genin candidates who might have a chance to become a Genin. This excercise is to weed out candidates who don't deserve to become a genin. You know what Kakashi-sensei why don't you take over I don't even know why I started talking you are our superior why don't you explain it." said Naruto with a sheepish grin etched onto his face. Kakashi just eye-smiled and nodded.
"Of the twenty-seven genin candidates that graduated only nine will actually be accepted as genin. The other eighteen you could say they will be weeded out and sent back to the academy. In other words it is a make it or break it pass/fail test. The chance for you all failing is atleast sixty-six percent. But if you look on the bright side you have a thirty-three percent chance to pass." explained Kakashi which recieved shock look from Sakura and a raised eyebrow from Sasuke.
"WHAT!?" yelled Sakura she was finally on a team with Sasuke and now they were just trying to take him away from her.
"Sorry that's how it is. I will decide if you will pass or if you fail. Be at training ground three tomorrow morning at five A.M sharp. Well that's it your dismissed and I suggest you miss breakfeast or you'll puke. Later." and just like that Kakashi was gone in a puff of smoke.
"You know what don't listen to Kakashi-sensei eat a big breakfeast tomorrow your gonna need it." before they could respond Naruto left in a swirl of wind leaving the two to their thoughts.
'I refuse to go back to the academy. I will past this test and i will be a step closer to my ambition.' Sasuke thought to himself before getting up and made his way off the roof with Sakura following suit.
Training ground three twenty minutes later...
"WHAT?! What the hell do you mean I have to run the Survival test. Why in the hell can't you do it.. Your the Jounin-sensei!" exclaimed a agitated Naruto.
"I know I am the Jounin sensei. You are my genin and as your superior you are doing this and thats final. Besides it would be good for the three of you as team." replied Kakashi in his same nonchalant tone with his traditional eye-smile ever present.
"Kakashi-nii I'm starting to not like you..." said Naruto with narrowed eyes.
Kakashi just waved him off and said "Come on you know it will be fun. Don't even to to deny it."
Naruto thought about for a second and grinned "You know what it actually could be fun.. alright i'll do it."
"That's the spirit see you at ten a.m. tomorrow, later." said Kakashi before he walked off with his book in hand. Kakashi made it about ten steps before a black cat jumped down from a tree branch and landed in front of Kakashi. Panic flashed in his lone eye before he started running back towards where Naruto was.
"NARUTO! That God damn cat is back run the opposite way as fast as you can before it catches us and gives us bad luck for life, RUN!" yelled the scarecrow in fear as he darted past Naruto.
Naruto looked over to where his surrogate brother was an saw the black cat not needing to be told twice Naruto started running and adventially caught up to Kakashi.
"That cat is such a dick! I swear that cat is stalking us that's the fourth time today!" a relieved Naruto said knowing that the cat was left in the dust.
"And people think we make up excuses just for fun if only they knew, if only they knew.." trailed off Kakashi as he cried anime tears along with Naruto.
