It has been week since Naruto found out about his family and since then he lived in his parents' house. He didn't have much time to find out every secret of this house but found some that helped him with his training.

Apparently, his father found out that he was son of Namikaze Kyoko by doing some blood tests and because of that he made an underground training grounds where he could train with weapons he created or made prototypes of.

For now, Naruto didn't try any prototype as he first wanted to get a hand of weapons he got from his grandmother. It seemed that his parents really thought about everything as Naruto's father wrote down every jutsu he knew and explained in those scrolls how everything worked. It looked like they were preparing for everything and left these in case they wouldn't be able to teach Naruto themselves.

These revelations brought Naruto to tears but he vowed to make a good usage of his family's knowledge.

Academy

Naruto was sitting inside of his old classroom along with his new teammates, waiting for their sensei. In this last week he tried his best to follow the book his grandmother written called The rightful Namikaze clansman. Essentially, it was a book that said that if you wanted to use their clan's name pridefully, you can't make a fool out of yourself.

Namikaze clan was first and foremost a hunting clan and they produced a hundred generations of warriors. Thus leading to their mindset that you should never let your enemy get under your skin or else you are done for.

It seemed to be like something every clan was saying, but Naruto's grandmother made a book about how to be able to use it back against your enemy if they get under your skin. She said in the book that what you need to focus on when you get into the fight is to find out more about your opponent. You need to look for any weakness on their defense and you need to predict what style of fighting they use. She explained that this all will happen subconsciously once you get more experienced but it's better to start at young age at the training.

So when Naruto was alone with his teammates in their old classroom, he decided to be safe and looked at them. First was Uchiha Sasuke. 'Hmm, from what kaa-chan wrote in her scroll, Sasuke comes from one of founding clans of Konoha. They are known for overestimating their Sharingan and depending on it, focusing mainly on training with it. This is also their weakness as even now I can tell that it's easy to overpower by simply learning how to fight in place his sight won't be good. Even better if it's chakra inducted as at that point he can't even use chakra reading ability of his Sharingan to find your location. Next problem is that darkness inside of him. I don't know what happened to him but for him to have this much darkness inside of him just because of his clan dying is not normal. He could be a freight risk at this point after no one helped him through his trauma.' Thought Naruto.

He then turned to his second teammate, Haruno Sakura. 'Sakura is probably the worst person we could get paired up with. She is the exact definition of fangirl. She denies herself a full meal because she thinks that she would get fatter when only thing she would need to do is train. In her kunai pouch I can see a magazine rolled, probably some fashion shit. And not to say those hair. For fuck's sake, she could at least cut them a little as they will become a hindrance in future. Over all, her abilities are nil and she only passed the exams only because of her book smarts.' Thought Naruto.

It took another hour for their sensei to show up, at which point Sakura lost her temper and shouted while Sasuke seemed annoyed. Naruto was the only one looking at their sensei with calm look. "So you are my team? My impression of you is… You are interesting batch." Said their sensei and moved out of the room and they followed him.

Naruto took this opportunity and tried to figure their sensei out. 'From what I could find out from tou-san's notes, this man is Hatake Kakashi, tou-san's last student. Tou-san written that sensei lived through hard life, not knowing his mother and his father dying when sensei was young. He also written that sensei was prodigy of his generation, being able to learn advanced techniques quickly. This will be interesting.' Thought Naruto as they walked up to roof.

The three genins sat down at stairs while Kakashi went up to the front. "Let's see. Firstly, let me have your introductions." Said Kakashi lazily. "Introduce ourselves… What should we say?" asked Sakura. Naruto rubbed his forehead at her stupid questions and thought. 'Is she really Kunoichi of the Year?'

Naruto took a deep breath and said calmly. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I'm 16 years old. My likes are training and relaxing after my training. My dislikes are arrogant people and fangirls. My hobbies are learning how to use new weapons I got and thinking of new weapons. And my future dream would probably be to find out more about what happened to my family."

Kakashi nodded his head while inside he was shocked from the response. 'I didn't think that sensei's son would be so mature. Even Hokage-sama told be two weeks ago that Naruto was a little bit immature. What could have happened in such a short time?' thought Kakashi as he motioned for Sakura. "You saw how you should introduce. Now your turn." Said Kakashi.

Sakura glared at Naruto but compiled. "My name is Haruno Sakura. My likes are…" she looked at Sasuke and giggled. "My hobbies are…" again. "My dreams…" again.

Kakashi sighed at that and asked. "Any dislikes?" He was already getting riled up by her being a hell-bent fangirl, so he wanted to end it quicker than Naruto would kill her. "NARUTO-BAKA!" screeched Sakura. Naruto rubbed his ears while Kakashi looked at him sympathetically.

He then shook his head and turned to Sasuke. "Now you." Sasuke looked at him and said. "Name's Uchiha Sasuke. I have no likes and many dislikes. I don't have any hobby. My dream… No, my ambition is to kill certain someone." Kakashi sighed as he heard Sakura squeal at Sasuke. 'So he is this deep into his hatred, huh?' thought Kakashi and clapped his hands.

"Now, my name is Hatake Kakashi. That's everything you need to know now." Said Kakashi with eye-smile. He then chuckled for a while and then said with serious voice. "Now let's get to next thing. Out of 27 graduates that were assigned to teams, only 9 of them will be recognized as genins. The other 18 graduates will be sent back to academy to be reeducated. Meaning that there is only 33% chance of becoming genins."

This shocked every of them but Naruto soon calmed his expression and waited for Kakashi to continue. Seeing as they weren't about to say anything, Kakashi leaned back and said. "Tomorrow we will have a survival test to see which one of you three is worthy of becoming a genin. Meet me at Training grounds 7 at 5 in the morning. Bring all of your ninja tools. Oh, and you'd best skip breakfast. You'll throw up." Said Kakashi and disappeared in puff of smoke.

The three genins sat there for a while until Naruto stood up and walked away, not even talking with his teammates. 'Sensei wants us to become team by using this test. But there is no chance in hell that they will accept help of any kind. So better prepare myself for everything sensei could try.' Thought Naruto and went to his parents' house.
