Naruto is walking through a dusty dirt road to the shinobi academy. The dust getting under the bandages on his face irritating naruto's scar he scratched his cheek loosening the bandages slightly for the dust to slide out looking forward and trying to ignore the civilians glares he sneers remembering what they have been doing to him for his whole life,picking up his pace he doesn't want a repeat of what happened last time. Hearing giggles he approaches a bush looking past it. A few kids are sticking straws into some frogs' ass and blowing him up like a balloon staring confusedly at the frog he turns, continuing his way through the streets of konoha.
Just peeking over the trees is the academy just around the corner making his way to the growing crowd of parents he tries to sneak through only to get pushed to the ground, pushed forward and thrown out towards the academy,he stumbles catching himself before falling with his stump on the wall of the academy. Making his way past whispering students and glaring teachers he comes to his assigned classroom sliding the door open he finds it empty looking back at the number he confirms this is his class stepping in he moves to take the far back seat next to the window laying his head down on his arm he watches the birds fly by doing there morning activities. He remains quite as a few other children file into the room taking their seats, the room was relatively quiet until a boy with black hair and eyes entered he eyed Naruto as fangirls swarmed him making eye contact for a short second sasuke snorts turning his head away he moves to take his set three rows ahead of him. Naruto goes to continue his bird watching only to be interrupted by two fangirls yelling at each other with insults then turning into an argument about who won the race the winner getting to sit next to sasuke the louder one with pink hair won to sasuke's disappointment and to naruto's pleasure.
The teacher walks in asking the students to quiet down politely multiple times before his head grow to a comedic size yelling "shut up!" the class went quiet immediately, "hello im umino iruka and i will be your teacher for the next four years,any questions?"introduced the teacher now known as iruka "we will now start role call" was when he tuned everything out until he heard his name raising his left arm he replied with a quick "here" whispers erupted from all over the class naruto brought his arm down laying his head down once again he listened vaguely to what iruka was teaching the,history of konoha. Naruto was suddenly awoken by the bell ringing and students running to the door with iruka telling them to meet at the academy's training grounds to unlock their chakra leaving the class last he ran to a tree climbing to a high hanging branch for an eight year old he laid down on the thick branch eating a sandwich as he gazed at the sky through the foliage. "Naruto!,Naruto! Wake up its its class time" was the wake up call from iruka
Naruto almost fell out of the tree before jumping down, shoving his hand and stump into his black jacket that had red accents. He followed iruka yawning a few times as he did.
"Now class chakra is half spiritual and half physical,all you need is the spiritual half,now enter a meditative pose and look inside you for a glowing blue fire.you want to grab the fire and pull it up" was the instructions given by iruka. Naruto sat down entering the meditative pose looking inside of himself he found an ocean he looked around the empty space around him and delved into the ocean he almost lost himself a few times before seeing the big blue ball of concentrated fire he reached out grabbing it pulling it to the surface it exploded out turning the vast ocean blue. Opening his eyes he looked around at is classmates they were staring wide eyed at him he looked around confused,following his teachers gaze he find a donut shaped trench going around him only being a few inches deep and three feet wide, a surprised look passes his face standing up he dusts himself off, Iruka hands him chakra control exercises before letting him sit under a tree. Rolling the scroll open naruto reads a few chakra control exercises starting with sticking leaves to his body spending the next three days trying to master it hes able to keep around fifteen on his body doing better than a good amount of students and having more combined chakra then everyone in the school is quite impressive for chakra control naruto then setup a routine after school each day he learned history how to write math and many more subjects always trying to refine what he knew of the shinobi arts he was just above average on anything he did. Iruka knows he's been holding back if not for Mizuki sabotaging him and the fact he might be a Itachi or Kakashi level prodigy.the next month snow was starting to fall so he decide to wear a full black cloak walking through the lightly dusted snow covered streets of konoha looking up at the clouded sky snow seemed to be falling, last night was the first snowfall of the year. Continuing toward the academy snow compressing under each step making a crunching sound moved slowly walking through the almost empty entrance he entered his classroom taking his seat and waiting for roll call he meditated smoothing out his chakra as much as possible before class starting everything happening the same way it has been for the past month but today is special iruka gave them three jutsu scrolls henge,kawarimi and the bunshin naruto got started reading the descriptions he decided to try the henge first imaging iruka he transformed into Iruka with some differences.
Naruto then spent the rest of the day practicing the henge, He's able to transform into most people with some focus. Hearing the bell ring he runs out the door moving at mid genin speeds gliding along the rooftops glancing at the porcelain masked shinobi watching him, he makes his way home moving faster than before. Entering his home he slides out of his sandals and cloak he continues walking to his room he swings the door open looking at his reflection he slowly does the hand signs for the henge muttering the hand seals while imaging himself without the scars. Hes covered in smoke coughing he waves his hand in front of him making the smoke dissipate faster once done he looks forward at himself a scarless version staring back with dark blue eyes that had a mix of hatred and determination. His whisker marks being thicker now intrigued him as always. Turning back he sighs repeating them again he remembers a face of a civilian from that day with anger passing through him he pours more chakra than anyone has into a henge transforming into a smug looking civilian with brown hair and eyes wearing flip flops, shorts and a hawaiian shirt naruto punches the mirror in anger shattering it looking confusedly at his left hand that went through the mirror he pulled it back through the shards of glass, opening and closing the hand he released its solid he celebrates a new discovery leaving the day on a good note he transforms back a small smile adorning his lips as he dresses for bed. Before forgetting the glass scattered on the ground he brooms it up tossing the shattered mirror out his window and into an alley from three stories up, finally lying down he brings the two blankets he has over him for the freezing night. Staring at the ceiling he hopes that he doesn't experience anymore nightmares the villagers inflicted on him slipping into the dark embrace of sleep he wonders what the next will hold.
