Chapter 2:
October 6th 1987 Hidden leaf village
In the heart of the village we find a fairly young man wearing a dark blue long sleeve shirt and matching pants that came to his ankles, a green flak jacket, bandages wrapping around his ankles, fingerless gloves with metal plate for protection and a face mask. However his most stand out features were his headband which was covering his left eye, grey gravity-defying hair and his book of icha-icha which he always read in public.
' Well it's been at least an hour since I was meant to be at The Third's office, maybe I'll get a bite to eat before checking out the book store' he thought with a perverse giggle. "You know, now that I think about it, today has been pretty peaceful, maybe we might not have any complications to-"
"HAHAHAHAHA"
"I just had to open my big mouth" Kakashi turned to see a mop of sun-kissed hair running his way, a kid of 6 years old dressed in a hideous orange jumpsuit, blue sandals and green goggles, his most prominent feature however was 3 identical whiskers on each cheek, this was Naruto Uzumaki, resident prankster and pariah of the hidden leaf laughing his head off. He also wasn't alone.
"GET BACK HERE YOU BRAT"
"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU'LL PAY"
"HAHAHAHAHA, come on guys, you haven't caught me once since the start of all my pranks, what makes you think you'll catch me this time?"
Yep, Naruto was once again being chased by the shinobi of the Leaf, Kakashi thought it would have been funny, that is except there were 7 chunin, 5 jonin and even a couple ANBU in the chase.
'Hmm, that's gotta be a new record, seriously how do they keep getting pranked, I mean anyone should notice a boy dressed in "kill me orange", right?'
As Naruto sped past him, he wondered if he should help in the chase. 'Hm, probably not, but I'm curious as what he did this time' It didn't take Kakashi long to find out. The Hokage monument was the pride of the Leaf in craftsmanship but now it made a Picasso painting look elegant, each of the faces had been painted with their abilities or personalities in mind, the First now had dark green hair and a painted goatee to match, his cheeks had been faintly dusted and a line of red was running down from the nose while on the forehead it read "Yes, I've got wood" The Second looked ridiculous for another reason, his hair had been painted black while his eyes had been made to look like the Sharingan, his head however seemed almost fitting for both the man and as an Uchiha which read "I'm a huge dork with a cry baby for a brother" Third was just embarrassing to look at as his face had been completely painted in white, his hair was pink and it looked like there was make-up effects on his eyes, cheeks and lips making him look like the bearded lady.
The Fourth on the other hand barely had anything done to him, all that Naruto painted was 3 identical whiskers on each cheek making the Fourth look like Naruto, this in turn made Kakashi shake his head and sigh sadly.
'Sensei, how is it that no one can see the resemblance between you and your son. Then again while he has your looks and a couple skills in speed and stealth, it's obvious that his personality and penchant for pranks easily belongs to Kushina' Kakashi mentally chuckled at the situation. "It's been almost 7 years since the day you left us and I have been watching over him, though I'm not sure that I should just keep watching him any more because while everyone else sees the happy, smiling prankster, I've seen that same boy as the sad, lonely child, and don't even get me started on the mobs, I've had to stop too many of those and even when I do, sometimes I'm too late, for that I'm sorry. You know, I think it's time I start to be there for Naruto the way sensei was with me" and with an eye smile Kakashi headed for the hokage's office 2 hours earlier than normal.
With Naruto
Naruto couldn't believe that his prank had gone off without a hitch today since he'd almost pronounced himself whilst painting the monument.
"Oh man, this is getting too easy and I thought you losers were supposed to be chunin, jonin and ANBU, ha, what a joke"
"WHAT WAS THAT"
"SAY THAT AGAIN YOU PUNK"
" OK NOW YOU'RE DEAD"
Retort after retort came at Naruto but to the boy, it was just icing on the cake. Passing by a fence Naruto managed to slip by the shinobi by concealing himself in a fence sheet shroud. As the ninja past by Naruto couldn't help but chuckle at how easy it was to fool his pursuers, that is until a loving but stern voice echoed through his mind.
"Don't get cocky kid, you maybe fast and stealthy but they are trained ninja for a reason, also that sensei of yours, Iruka was it, how is it he can still catch you, are you letting him" the female voice sounded in his head.
'C'mon, you and I both know that Iruka sensei has some cheating method in finding me no matter what Kurama so you know I don't let him catch me' Naruto thought frustrated at the giant fox in his gut and stepping away from his hiding spot.
"Yeah I know, but if you were paying any attention you would've known your sensei is standing on top of the fence" 'Wait, what' "Hehehe, have fun kiddo" she said giggling and cutting the mental link.
Turning mechanically he finally noticed a man dressed similar to Kakashi save for the face mask and his headband was level on his head, his hair was brown and in a pineapple tie and had a long scar running across his nose. It was Iruka Umino his favourite sensei looking down at him, arms crossed and face not amused.
"H-h-h-hey there, Iruka sensei" Naruto said nervously. "Hello Naruto, is there any reason you would happen to be here and not in class?" Iruka replied with minor sarcasm.
"Well I-I-I was feeling restless and so I decided to go for a walk, yeah that's it" Naruto tried to lie. "I see and those chunin, jonin and ANBU were chasing because?" Iruka asked sarcasm and frustration mounting.
"Because I'm too awesome an they want to help me by training me in speed?" the boy tried not even believing his own lie would work.
"Sigh, Naruto you know if you keep these pranks going eventually someone I going to catch you that won't be me, then they'll let you have it" Iruka lectured
"Iruka sensei, you know if they didn't chase me for a prank then they'd be chasing me for some stupid reason, like breathing anywhere near them or the villagers" Naruto replied dead serious.
Iruka sighed sadly knowing that 90% of the village pretty much hated Naruto's existence and at first, he was no better. Given time though he had come to see the blond jinchuriki as a little brother, an annoying brother that would prank people whenever he got a chance but a brother nonetheless.
"Alright Naruto, I'm giving you a choice. Will you come back to class quietly or do I have to tie you up and drag you there kicking and screaming?" Iruka asked knowing the answer. "OOH, OOH, OOH, kicking and screaming please" said the blond with too much enthusiasm for the situation but Naruto knew that people would thank Iruka for "capturing" him, so he made a scene for style.
10 minutes of kicking and screaming later, back at the academy
Iruka was standing over a tied up Naruto in one of his lecture modes. "I'm seriously getting close to the end of my rope Naruto, your taijutsu is a mess, your genjutsu is none existent, your ninjutsu is following close behind and your chakra control is abysmal. You do realise if you keep this up, you won't become a shinobi, ever" Naruto just simply huffed and looked away. Obviously this made the brown haired sensei want to strangle the boy, however that wouldn't exactly look good on his report to the Hokage.
"Grrrrrr fine, since you missed it, everyone will be reviewing the transformation jutsu" Iruka growled out while every student groaned in annoyance. As such, each student lined up with Naruto at the end observing each student.
First up was a wild looking boy with short shaggy brown hair dressed in a grey hoodie with fur trim, brown pants and blue sandals, this was Kiba Inuzuka of the Inuzuka clan. A clan that specialised in ninja hound partners, most clan members had a single partner but some members had more, they also had a tendency to be more brash and cocky than the rest of the clans. On top of Kiba's head was a white pup, Akamaru, a loyal partner and friend. "Alright, here we go, "Transform"" in a puff of white smoke a second Iruka stood in Kiba's place and Akamaru had disappeared.
"Well done Kiba, looks like you've improved" Iruka praised as a second puff of smoke reveal the boy and his dog. "Heh, did you expect anything less" Kiba replied with arrogance, a bark of agreement came from the pup.
Up next was Shikamaru Nara, a thin lanky boy with his black hair in a pineapple tie wearing a grey jacket with pale green trim and a fishnet undershirt and dark brown pants. "What a drag, "Transform"" he drawled out, turning into Iruka as well and quickly changing back. "Can I go for a nap now?"
As it turned out, the Nara clans men were exceptionally gifted with high intellect but life isn't without it's little ironies as they were also chronically lazy. They also had the ability to manipulate shadows which led to them being considered one of the more exceptional clans.
"Sigh, fine and good transformation, just hold it a little longer next time please" Iruka said exasperated by the lazy boy. 'How is it that the most intelligent student in this class also has to be the laziest as well?, he could probably give Kakashi a run for his money on who is more lazy'
A portly boy with brown hair wearing a dark green jacket, a pale yellow T-shirt, brown knee length shorts and a long white scarf was up next, his shins and forearms were wrapped in bandages but most notable was that he was eating 3 bags of BBQ potato chips at the same time. This was Choji Akamichi, a kind boy with quite the appetite, the Akamachi clan was known for their incredible appetites and expansion jutsus which made them physically the strongest clan. "One sec sensei, munch, munch, I'll be finished soon, munch, munch, munch" and just as promised Choji finished up and transformed like the others.
"OK Choji head on back and good work" Iruka praised the boy and a second later led to Choji going back to his seat and opening yet another bag of chips.
Next came Ino Yamanaka, most would consider the most beautiful girl in the class. Ino was fair-skinned with bright blue eyes and long platinum blonde hair which she wore in a high ponytail and bangs which came over the right side of her face. She wore a purple sleeveless shirt which was cut short at her belly and a matching thigh high skirt, her belly and thighs were wrapped in bandages and she wore white arm warmers with purple trim and she wore blue sandals. She also had a tendency to be a gossip queen
The Yamanaka clan was famous for their platinum blonde hair, passion for gardening and plants and their mind manipulation jutsus, which allowed them to peer into the minds of their enemies and even control to a certain degree.
"Alright, transform" she exclaimed and just as the others another Iruka appeared. "Good, good work Ino" Iruka said pleased.
"Ha, suck it forehead" Ino said to the next student with an air of superiority.
Forehead was actually known as Sakura Haruno, a girl who also had fair skin, green eyes and post peculiar, bubble gum pink hair which was complimented a large red ribbon tied in a bow. Her outfit consisted of a red qipao dress with white trim and slit sides at both hips, dark green biker shorts and blue sandals.
Sakura, unlike the others that had already gone, was not from a clan, she was from a simple civilian family but her intelligence was almost as high as a Nara clansmen, that and she had her eyes on a certain Uchiha.
"Shut it Ino-pig, I'll always beat you" she growled back at her blonde rival. "Can we please get on with it" Iruka said unable to believe that most girls in the academy could focus on boys instead of trying to make sure they wouldn't die on a mission in the future. 'If this is the hope of the next generation, we're so screwed' he thought tiredly.
"Heheh, sorry sensei, transform" and like others, she turned into their sensei then changed back. "Oh yeah, I did it, Sasuke did you see" she exclaimed with glee while everyone else deadpanned "Ok Sakura, head on back" the teacher said with a sweatdrop forming
Sasuke Uchiha the next student was the sole surviving loyal member of the Uchiha clan, he had black hair that looked like a duck's butt and wore a dark blue shirt with his clans crest on the back, white shorts bandages around his calf's to his ankles and similar arm warmers that Ino wore only the trim was dark blue. His face was solemn and calm but deep in the mind of the kid, there was a conflict that most would never guess.
The Uchiha clan were considered the most powerful clan due to their kekkei genkai which was a special mode their eyes could access, the sharingan, it allowed one to see anything slowed down, though genjutsu and illusions and would the user to copy any and all jutsu they would see.
Without a word Sasuke transformed taking Iruka by surprise. "Uh, right, goog job" Iruka said awkwardly, what else could he say as the last Uchiha went back to their seat, to everyone Sasuke seemed cool with the loner attitude but to Naruto, he knew Sasuke was hiding something and he would figure out what it was.
"You do know, you could use that weird power of yours to peer into the Uchiha's mind, right?" Kurama asked. As it turned out Naruto possessed an unusual power compared to everyone else, neither him nor the fox knew how or why it had occurred, only that it was useful in gather info on his next prank, his target and potential threats. 'You know using gives me a headache and besides I can only feel fear and determination coming from Sasuke, determination that's easy to tell why, but fear, no clue. Anyway it doesn't matter it's Shino's turn'
It was interesting that student who talked the least was followed by the only other student that would talk just as little. Shino Aburame was a stoic, silent kid with spiky brown hair and a calm face, he wore a light grey, high collar jacket and brown ankle length pants and finally pitch black sunglasses.
The interesting thing however wasn't what he was wearing, it was what was below his skin. The Aburame clan were known as human hives, due to them having hundreds of insects living inside of their bodies. It was a symbiotic relationship, the host would feed the insects chakra and in turn, the insects would assist the host in any situation. However thanks to their unique abilities the Aburame clan was seen as weird and given a wider berth than necessary.
Just like Sasuke, Shino silently transformed into Iruka and back making the teacher sweatdrop at Shino's silent nature. Naruto though, felt a kinship with the insect boy because both boys were looked at differently due to circumstances they couldn't control.
The last of the students that mattered to Naruto was Hinata Hyuga. She a quiet, timid girl with dark blue hair in a bowl cut and 2 bangs coming down to her chin, she wore dark grey, ankle length pants and a matching undershirt, the shirt however was hidden beneath her thick cream coloured jacket which she wore to hide her, "assets".
"T-Transform" she stuttered out. The stutter made both Iruka and Naruto sigh they knew she had confidence issues due to her being the heiress of the Hyuga clan, though her father was almost military strict and thus was always harder on her. The Hyuga clan had become known as the new strongest due to the Uchiha massacre and their own bloodline, the Byakugan.
The Byakugan was another bloodline which resided in the eyes which for some reason made the eyes as white as a blind person's eyes, when activated the veins on the outside of the eyes would become noticeable beneath the skin and the abilities included being able to see chakra on a detailed network, 360 vision, seeing great distances and even through solid objects. It also played a role in their fighting style, the gentle fist, in combination with precise chakra strikes to the chakra points along the chakra network, a Hyuga could disable a person's chakra altogether and potentially kill their foe.
After the demonstration, Hinata went back, while sneaking looks at Naruto and blushing heavily. "You do realise she is infatuated with you, right?" Kurama asked annoyed at the timid girl. 'Yeah, I know, I'm not as oblivious as everyone thinks' he replied back.
"So what are going to do, I know you don't feel anything for her but you still have to consider her feelings" Kurama may have thought Hinata a nuisance with her stalking but she didn't want the girl to feel worse if Naruto wasn't careful.
"Look, I just need to let her down gently, of course, it would be alot easier if she didn't keep passing out on me' he thought frustrated with the past 17 times he tried. For some reason though, he had feeling someone was talking about him and it wasn't Hinata, he shrugged it off, thinking it was just some cranky villagers.
In the Hokage's office
"Absolutely not, I won't allow it" a cranky voice was heard.
When Kakashi had turned up 2 hours earlier than normal, the Third Hokage thought the world was ending, after all, it's Kakashi. Now though he was wondering if he should have the masked ninja sent for an evaluation to see if he was either crazy or an imposter.
"Lord Hokage, listen to me, I've had enough with how the villagers are treating him and I want to do something about it" Kakashi tried to make his plea.
"Sigh, Kakashi I know you're trying to honour Minato's legacy but Naruto needs to stay in the academy and must make bonds with the children there" Hiruzen said not budging. "Besides, Jiraiya will return and he will train Naruto, please understand Kakashi, it's for the best. You know what would happen if I would allow you to train Naruto, the civilian council would see it as me favouring the boy and see to it that was thrown out of office in favour of Danzo. As such, we must bide our time and wait for Naruto to graduate" The Third reasoned.
Kakashi however wasn't taking his rejection well , which was unusual for the normally cool headed ninja. "I understand Lord Hokage but I have to say, screw Jiraiya, if he is supposed to train Naruto, maybe he should actually take some time to check in on his godson and don't you tell me he has his spy network to look after, we both know that he is still not comfortable looking at Naruto because he is so much like his parents, he may have suffered that night but so did everyone in the village., however because of that night Naruto has suffered more than anyone, training harder and longer than anyone, so much so that his knuckles are covered in blood and his body looks like it's gone through Anko's torture trial, twice" Kakashi finished venting, not realising he was putting on quite the show for the Hokage and ANBU in the room.
Hiruzen knew that Naruto was struggling in the academy and that Iruka could only do so much for the kid but he had no idea what to do to help him, that is until he remembered a certain law laid down by the First Hokage, it would take a miracle to pull off but it might work.
"Very well Kakashi, you may have Naruto as an apprentice" he relented "However, you will be taking one other and you can't talk your way out of it. You know the second is and before you say anything, you also know the council force you to train them anyway, so you may as well accept" Hiruzen continued knowing Kakashi would have no choice now if he wanted to train Naruto.
"Neko!" the Third called out and instantly a female ANBU with long, silky purple hair and a cay porcelain mask appeared kneeled before him. Kakashi shocked that the old Hokage accepted his request didn't even react the elite ninja.
"Yes Lord Hokage?" she asked. "Summon all the council members to the a meeting and have them there in 10 minutes" he commanded. "It will be done" the ANBU replied and disappeared just as quickly as she came.
"Now then, how about we check in on your first apprentice, shall we?" the old man said which shook the jonin out of his little trance, he noticed the Hokage had brought out his favourite crystal ball. The crystal ball of the Hokages allowed them to remotely link their chakra and to a person or place in order to observe the scene without others noticing, of course the Third used it for other questionable purposes. "If I'm not mistaken Naruto should be having turn right now" the old man said while linking his chakra and both men looking in.
Back at the academy
"Finally it's your turn, 21 lame transformations and I'm ready to claw my eyes out at how bad some of them are" a certain fox grumbled.
'I know what you mean, thank you and kami for the training you've been giving me for the last 3 years otherwise I'd be no better or worse than these guys" our blond hero answered back. Yes Naruto had been receiving training from Kurama as she wanted the boy to be able to defend and take care of himself so he wouldn't get hurt so much. Pranking the villagers played a big role in his training, setting them up allowed his mind to create the strategies to allow him to accomplish his goals and then escape, wearing the horrible jumpsuit made for intense stealth training and running from the shinobi improved his speed, agility and endurance, outside of his prank training Kurama would put Naruto through a gauntlet of strength training that would make a certain blue beast cry for mercy and have him practice the stances and moves for 3 separate styles.
His first and favourite style was his mother's style, the Tidal fist, it was a style similar to the unpredictable nature of the ocean often changing between offensive and defensive faster than lightning when needed, it focused around using grapples and flowing strikes for disabling rather than killing, since Naruto hated the thought of killing ironic as it was for the profession, this style was absolutely preferable for him.
The Second style was the knocking fist style, a style created by his father. This style was a light, quick fighting style which relied on pure speed and crippling joint blows, Naruto was told that Minato had adapted the style from the Hyuga's gentle fist. While the gentle fist would be aimed at the chakra points, the knocking fist struck the nerves, joints and/or organs for a deadly assault, what made it deadly though was the study of the human body and knowing the precise place to strike while focusing chakra in every strike. Although Naruto learned this style, he swore he only strike the nerves and joints, never the organs, no matter what would happen in a fight.
Finally was a style both he and Kurama had created, the fox fist style. Kurama was honoured that Naruto had wanted to create a taijutsu style with her in mind, creating it from the ground up though would be quite the challenge. This particular involved using animal instincts and reflexes to weave and dodge around any attack, closing in to an opponent and using punches, kicks, body slams and other such power based move while on all fours.
When Naruto was done training for the day, he would spend his nights sleep- training in his mindscape. He would practice chakra exercises and a couple jutsu as Kurama felt it was best to wait 'till Naruto was a genin.
"Alright Naruto, perform the jutsu" Iruka instructed, all the while the whole class was watching but only three pairs of eyes were hopeful for the blond boy, the owners of those eyes didn't know Naruto could hear their thoughts
'N-Naruto, do your best' a Hyuga heiress thought out.
'Naruto I have a feeling you'll surprise us' Iruka thought believing in his little brother. 'Damn right I will' Naruto silently thought back
'I've seen how hard you've been training, so I know you'll be fine' a silky feminine voice sounded in his head but he didn't who it belonged to as no on in the class had such a cute and beautiful voice. ' Meh, I'll figure it out later' he thought with Kurama shaking her head at the boy. 'He can figure out the mechanics of fuinjutsu but he can't figure out who the voice belongs to, and I thought Minato was oblivious' she thought not wanting to give anything away, yet.
"Transform" the boy exclaimed and chakra swirled around him before like the others smoke shrouded him. What appeared from the smoke though was not another Iruka but a blond 17 year old girl with long hair tied in pig tails in a sensual pose, she also was naked with the leftover smoke covering the smallest amount of skin.
"HUH, AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH" screamed the brown haired instructor as a fountain of blood exploded from his nose sending him crashing into the wall.
"HAHAHAHAHA, gotcha, that was my sexy jutsu haha, pretty cool right?" a gleeful Naruto laughed with most of the class joining in save for Shikamaru, Shino and Sasuke, who for some reason had a faint shade of pink on his cheeks.
"CUT THE STUPID TRICKS, THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING YOU LITTLE BRAT!!! Iruka roared but no one could really take him seriously with bloody tissues up his nose.
'Seriously though, how much longer do I have to wear this stupid mask?" the blond thought since he had to wear a mask of weakness and stupidity to protect himself from the council as they would have another reason to call for his death. "At least until you make it to genin and are accepted onto a team, I know it's sucks and believe me, I'm suffering along with you but we must remain under the radar for a while longer" Kurama responded also wishing Naruto could let loose.
Back with the Hokage
The old Hokage had fallen backwards shocked, frozen solid with blood leaking down his nose while Kakashi had simply stood there as if nothing was out of the ordinary, look closely at his mask though and you would see a small blot of red.
'Well, he certainly keeps his title as the prankster King from hell, if that were used on an enemy would make for one hell of a distraction' the masked ninja wondered trying very hard to not be a pervert.
"cough, cough, when I get the chance, I'm labelling that as an S-rank forbidden jutsu, no one must learn it" Hiruzen said as he recovered from his little episode. "Well Kakashi, I think it's about time we head to the council room and get you your apprentices, don't you?" he continued as he got up from his chair and both men made their way to the unsuspecting council members, what a nasty surprise awaited them.
There we go, second chapter done, once again, sorry it took so long. This is maybe a little slow but there is a point to it and I'll reveal more as the story progresses.
The knocking fist is a created taijutsu I made up that mixes the knocking from Toriko and Hit's fighting style without the time skip. In the mean time, please review and let me know what you think and hope stick around.
Till next time, see ya
