End of prelude

Naruto Uzumaki, the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, I'm going to be Hokage one day, believe it! said a four-year-old Naruto .

Flashback - 4 years ago

It would be Oct 10 the day of the nine tails attack the 4th Hokage would be having his first child. The child's birth would happen and his name would be Naruto Uzumaki. Until a masked man appeared, taking baby Naruto and holding a kunai to his small young boy. Give me the nine tails or I will kill the baby Minato looked at his wife and said be safe.

Minato handed his wife to the masked man for baby Naruto and then the masked man threw the baby Naruto in the air as Minato caught the baby just in time. As Mianto teleported the baby to the namikaze compound resting him in his bed as he would flash back and try to find the masked man and his wife.

Kushina would have the nine tails ripped out of her. When the nine tails appeared the masked man put on a genjutsu and said. Destroy the village, as the nine tails would appear in the middle of the village and start attacking. All the shinobi of the leaf village began to evade and protect the village from the 9 tails.

As the masked man appeared in front of Minato and said, You're a threat. I can't have you fight against the 9 tails. I'm gonna have to kill you, Yellow Flash. As Minato would then say who are you? The masked man said. Who am I? I'm Madara Uchiha… Minato then said no way Madara is dead. Enough talk you must die Yellow Flash. The masked man and Minato would fight and Minato would then say This is taking too long. Yellow flash so how do you have your speed? This is how I have my speed Ninja Art: Flying Thunder Level 2! Minato would dash in their air and it would look like a flash. Hitting the masked man with his signature jutsu Rasengan. As the masked man would be so injured he would have to run away to stay alive from Minato as before as he lives he says I leave the rest to you Nine tails.

The nine tails will be fighting the leaf village in an all-out war as many have already died. As the nine tails would then try and finish the village out he would power up a tailed beast bomb and shoot it at the 4 Hokage stones then a yellow flash appeared Minato namikaze teleportation the bomb away he then appeared next to the 3rd Hokage and said a good job now I got the rest as he then was staying on a toad named Gamabunta. You ready gamabunta . Minato would teleport him and the nine tails away from the village.

Minato would fight the nine tails with Gamabunta but that wouldn't be enough so he sent a shadow clone to get his wife and son. As Minato then told Kushina we can't seal it back into you we are going to have to seal it in Naruto. NO Minato he will be hated by the village and they will treat him badly. No, he won't kushina he will be looked upon as a hero he's our son. Okay, Minato Kushina said. As the nine tails would try to kill Naruto, Kushina and Minato would stop it with their body having a hole in their body as they start the sealing process. Minato then says Ninja Art: Reaper Death Seal as Minato would seal the nine tails completely. They will give a kushina speech. After their speech, Kushina will say I love you! Minato, I'm sorry. I used up your time. As Minato left the scroll he prepared just encased him and Kushina died during Naruto's birth a few minutes later Lord 3 appeared to read the scroll and cried and Val to protect Naruto.

Konah - Present Time

I'm going to be Hokage one day, believe it! Naruto, why do you want to be a Hokage? An old man with gray-haired man, who has wrinkles and liver spots of old age. He has a single line running vertically under the outer corners of each eye, which stretches down into his face. Because Jiji the Hokage is the strongest person in the village and protects everyone from all danger, people will treat me with respect. Oh, that's a good dream you have there. It is not a dream Jiji, it is going to become a reality. I hope it does. As the two keep on eating their ramen.

Timeskip - 8 year later

It would be nighttime in the konah village and everyone would be sleeping peacefully as then a man with brown hair that he keeps in a ponytail, dark eyes, and a scar that runs across the bridge of his nose. He wears the standard Konoha shinobi outfit complete with a forehead protector, sandals, and a flak jacket. His sleeves are also rolled up about ¼ way. As a child, he wore a simple outfit along with mesh armor underneath it. As he would hear a loud bang on the door and the person would say IRUKA! Iruka would come and rush to the door and open it to see his assistant.

He has white shoulder-length hair with a slight hint of blue to it and green eyes. He wore the standard attire of the Konoha-nin which included a flak jacket and forehead protector that he wore like a bandanna. Mizuki, what do you need? Iruka questioned You need to come to the lord hokage office now. Mizuki said, shouting. Why? Iruka said. It's Naruto, he stole the forbidden scroll.

With naruto

Let's see the first Justu multi-shadow clone jutsu. C'mon, this is my worst just. Well, I have time. I'm not supposed to meet with Mizuki for another couple of hours.

With Mizuki

Now that I tricked Naruto into getting the scroll, I have to take it from him and kill him. Then the scroll of sealing will be mine!

With naruto

Naruto would be breathing hard after intense training and learning. As then Iruka would walk up to him and stare at him. Hey, Naruto Iruka said in an angry tone. Naruto then laughed. Iruka was confused as to why Naruto was laughing. As NNaruto then said Listen iruka, I'm going to show you this amazing just and you're going to let me graduate. Who told you what Naruto Iruka said? Mizuki~sensei said if I learn of the just I graduate right? Mizuki? Iruka said in his head. As then a barrage of kunai was thrown at both of them. Naruto, look out! Iruka screamed, pushing Naruto away from the kunai. Iruka would be hit by the kunai. Naruto gave me the scroll. Mizuki said

Hey, what's going on here? Naruto said frightened. Naruto don't give that scroll even if it kills you. It is very dangerous and if in the wrong hands, it could be the downfall of the village. Mizuki tricked you into getting the scroll to get it for himself, Iruka said. Naruto, Iruka is only afraid of you having the scroll. Huh? Naruto said. What are you saying, Miuki?! Don't let him fool you naruto!

Let me tell you the truth, Naruto Mizuki said. Don't you dare tell him Mizuki Iruka screeched? After a certain incident 12 years ago a rule was created. A rule? Naruto said. A rule that everyone knows, except you, Naruto. Except me?! WHY! Naruto said. STOP MIZUKI! Iruka scrunched again

The rule forbids anyone from revealing that you're the fox demon! Naruto's eyes winded. You're the Nine-tailed fox demon. The one that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village! Stop it! Iruka yelled again. Everyone has been deceiving you ever since birth. Didn't you find it strange? Why does everyone hate you so damn much? The blue chakra started flowing through Naruto due to all of the emotions. No one accepts you. Even Iruka hates your guts. Now that you know I have to kill you and Iruka. As Mizuki pulled out a Fuma Shuriken and started to spin it around, he threw it at Naruto and said DIE! Naruto! get down! Iruka said. As then iruka would be protecting Naruto from the fuma~shuriken. He would then spit out some blood. Naruto then looks at Iruka. Why? Because we are the same once my parents died nobody praised me or paid any attention to me. I wasn't a good student. I was the class clown because I wanted people to notice me. Since I couldn't get noticed through excelling in school, I did stupid things. It was so painful, Isn't that right, Naruto? You feel so alone…right? And you suffered inside, right? I'm sorry Naruto… If I'd been more responsible maybe you wouldn't have suffered so much. Mizuki then laughed evilly. Don't make me laugh! Iruuka's always hated you ever since you killed his parents! He just said that to get the scroll back! Naruto then got up and ran.

Mizuki chased Naruto deeper into the wood and Iruka flowed after as Naruto then hid behind a tree. As iruka and mizuki were talking. I'm not gonna let a stupid idiot like you get that scroll! You're the idiot Naruto's the same as me Mizuki said. The same? You can do whatever you want once you have the scroll. It's hard to think of that monster…That fox demon wouldn't take advantage of the power in that scroll! You're right! Naruto then said I guess it was true. Iruka sensei never really cared about me at all! If he was the fox demon but Naruto's different He's an exceptional student, one that I've acknowledged. He is a hard worker, Yeah he is single-minded and clumsy at the same time. No one accepts him, but he knows the meaning of human suffering. He is not the fox spirit. He's Naruto Uzumaki of the village hidden in the leaves. You're something Iruka said I was going to take you down later, but I've changed my mind. Just die now! I guess this is it for me… Naruto then dashed into Iruka and kicked Mizuki kicking him away from Iruka. Iruka was shocked that Naruto did that. You got me there, Mizuki said. If you lay a hand on Iruka sensei I'll kill you! Shut up, I can take care of a kid like you with a single hit. Why don't you try then? I'll hit you back a thousand-fold. Let's See you try! Show me what you can do fox demon Naurto then yelled Ninja Art: Shadow clone just ass 1000 Naruto would appear.

Iruka would look in shock that Naruto could make a clone let alone 1000. But there are not just afterimages, there are actual clones That a A-rank ninjutsu. Iruka noted in his head What the matter? Naruto said. Weren't you gonna hit me? In that case, we're gonna come after you! Mizuki would scream and after about 10 minutes he would be brought to a pulp

Naruto then laughed, Sorry iruka sensei are you okay I got kinda carried away. Yeah, He is something. Maybe it is true, maybe he will surpass all the hokage. Hey Naruto, come over here, I'd like to give you something. Close your eyes. Sensei, how much longer? Alright, you can open your eyes now. Congratulations on graduating. Iruka~sensei! Naruto would say before pressing him against the tree in a brotherly hug.

3 things before I start this chapter naruto does have the orange chakra when he releases 1000 clones and the second thing is if I skip over an arc just means that it stays the same so filler arcs like meeting Konohamaru will be skipped as there I much I will change as I will be only writing from canon episode and this series is based on the anime, not the manga and if you didn't read the description there will be fan-made characters. Put These are a couple of things I wanted to say before the start of chapter 3

Konah - Naruto house

It would be 8:00 Am in the leaf village and Naruto would wake up. He would stretch and yawn as he would then look at his calendar and say "Oh crap today I have to go to the academy to see who my team and jounin~sensei are." I wonder who I get on my team. Hopefully, I get Sakura on my team. Naruto would then get out of his bed and get ready. He would get his normal instant ramen cup for breakfast and then finally put on the ninja headband that he got from Iruka.

Naruto would then be at the academy sitting at a desk waiting for Iruka to come in and announce the teams. As then a boy with a gray coat would come down the stairs from his seat. He has messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and nails that he can change into claws. He also has the distinctive red fang markings of the Inuzuka clan on his cheeks. His attire consisted of dark grayish pants reaching to his calves and a gray, hooded fur-lined coat, with the hood usually placed on his head, over with a blue forehead protector and blue sandals. He would say "What are you doing here naruto? "This room isn't for dropping out, you can't be here." "Oh yeah, Kiba, I graduated, don't you see here on my headband we are going to be training together? How do you like that?" Let me put it this way I look great in this headband like it was made for me believe it! No way they let you graduate, you had to steal it.

As Naruto and Kiba would go on arguing. As a girl with dark blue hair that she keeps in a hime-cut of different lengths. She wears a cream-colored hooded jacket with a fire symbol on the upper sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem. She also wears black pants and keeps her forehead protector loosely around her neck. She would say in her head "Naruto~kun he passed the graduating exams good for you naruto." As the two girls walked in the room one girl had green eyes and long, platinum blonde hair with bangs framing the right side of her face. She wears a purple outfit consisting of a high-collared blouse and a matching apron skirt. She sports this attire with bandages on her abdomen and legs, small hoop earrings, her forehead protector worn as a belt, and for a time, white arm warmers. The other girl has pink hair and green eyes Sakura wears a red qipao dress — at various times either with or without short sleeves — with slits along the sides accompanied by a zipper and white circular designs. She also wears tight dark green bike shorts with a shuriken holster around her right thigh, blue sandals, and the standard Konoha forehead protector worn as a hairband. Naruto starts to blush when she sees Sakura, she then looks back and smiles too. As she would then run towards Naruto Naruto would get up and say hello she would then say "Move it naruto." As she then would say "Good morning Sasuke." Sasuke would then just look at her. Mind if I sit next to you she said nicely. Then the blonde girl came down and said back off Forehead she said she then went on to say I'm sitting next to Sasuke. I was here first, I walked into the classroom before everyone knew I saw it. A bunch of girls came toward the seat next to Sasuke and started to fight about who was going to sit next to him. As Sasuke then said to him "Why do they have to be so annoying."

The most promising new student, Sasuke Uchiha, said that there was a room full of jounin watching from a crystal ball in some secret room. Yes, he is the one the 3rd Hokage said. The only female jounin said, "he is the only one left from the Uchiha clan." That's right, the 3rd Hokage responded. They would look at the crystal ball again. The spiky hair and beard-haired man then said Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto would then be mad that the girls would be fighting to sit next to him so he would get up and stand on the desk where Sasuke was sitting and stare at him. Being close is a little too close. Sasuke would just sit there and stare at him, not fazed at all. As all the girls then start screaming at Naruto they would say "Naruto stop glaring at Sasuke." Not would stop for a second and stare at Sakura and say in his head. "Why are all these girls obsessed with Sasuke? What a big deal with this guy." They would then lock eyes and be in a staring competition. All the girls would be yelling at Naruto about how he is too close to their sasuke~kun. Then some random person bumps Naruto making them ... .Kiss. The girls would then be flabbergasted as Naruto and Sasuke would be trying to get the taste out of each other's lips and they would be spitting. As Naruto would sense danger. As all the girls would say to Naruto, you are so dead. Hey woah, it was an accident. You're finished. As threw the crystal ball hurizern would see what happened and say as usual naruto is in the middle of some trouble

Alright class settled down. As of today, you all are ninjas of the leaf. What comes next would be even harder now you only genin a first-level ninja fresh out of the academy. You will be put into 3-man squads. Each squad would be led by a jounin an elite ninja. As everyone would then say a 3 man squad is that great.

Iruka then started listing off names on his clipboard, "Team 7 will be Akimich choji, Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke Your instructor will be Hatake Kakashi." "Shannaro!" Sakura ex; claimed after hearing her team, "Take that ino-pig! True love conquers all!" Ino placed her check in her hand in a dejected fashion while Sakura continued to celebrate. Sakura turned to Sasuke with heart in her eyes "Now we'll be on the same team sasuke~kun isn't that great? "Hm ." Was the stoic genin's response. Naruto had to bite back a snort of laughter at that. It was clear that Sasuke cared so much about his predicament

"Team 8 will be Hyuga Hinata, Inzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino with Yuhi Kurenai as your jounin sensei," Iruka said as the three young mentions all acknowledged that he had heard. Team 9 is still in circulation so we'll move on to team 10. Team 10 will be Yamanaka ino Nara shikamaru and Uzumaki Naruto with Sarutobi Asuma."

"Aww" Ino said as her head slumped onto the desk "I've got a lazy bum and the dead-last on my team…Why me?" Naruto rolled his eyes at Ino's words."and that's all for now.: Iruka concluded "You will all be picked up by your respective jounin sensei after lunch. Until then get together with your team, get to know them, and one more time good luck to all of you." Iruka spared the class one last glance before leaving the students on their own.

Ino came down from her seat behind him with her hands on her hips, "All right you and Shikamaru are coming with me." "Troublesome." Shikamaru said before pointing his thumb in a direction, "What about choji."

"What about him?" Ino asked, still sounding short-tempered about how the teams panned out.

Shikamaru and Naruto both pointed towards the door where Sasuke walked out being audibly trailed by Sakura trying to curry his favor as they were now a team," Do you think he's going to be welcome eating lunch with them?" The lazy boy said before motioning choji down closer to where they were. Naruto spoke up, "Yeah it's all right with me, Choji can come on over, no problem."

The plump boy in question took a seat with Shikamaru before breaking out a bag of chips that he began to snack on. Naruto looked at a slightly fuming Ino, and Shikamaru who had both of his eyes closed as he leaned back in his chair, "So I guess we're teammates now huh?" He said with a slight laugh, losing it when ino glared at him."

Ino had pretty much demanded that they all leave the classroom for lunch. Shikamaru thought it better to go along with that and argue something he didn't care about, Choji went along with him on that and Naruto just didn't care. He was too excited thinking about the things they were going to do after their jounin showed up after lunch. They all ended up sitting outside on an awning next to the main academy building.

Ino was eating her lunch quietly as she looked over her teammates. She wasn't unfamiliar with Shikamaru seeing as how both of their fathers were teammates and good friends. His grades and overall performance in the academy were abysmal, to say the least. He was always asleep in class, even after Iruka woke him up multiple times a day. Lazy-bum

And then there was Naruto. He wasn't a lazy ass like Shikamaru was, but his grades in the academy were even worse than he was. He consistently failed even when he showed up and spent almost as much time sleeping as Shikamaru. He was to get all of the just taught in class down, and he couldn't even do Clone just by the time of the graduation exam. How the hell did he pass anyway? She was cursing out Kami in her head for giving her such a bottom-of-the-barrel team to work with. That was going to be terrible.

Naruto wasn't even eating, he didn't have lunch with him anyway, he was simply grinning madly about finally being a ninja. He had his team and a cool high-class jounin to teach him how to kick even more ass. Maybe he even had techniques that were in the scroll of sealings. He didn't mind his team too much, Shikamaru was an alright guy and Ino was bossy but there wasn't anything he couldn't deal with he was certain.

"All right." Ino stood up "I need to blow everyone else out of the water, especially the Forehead girl's team." Naruto nodded fervently in agreement "Yeah, I need to wipe that superior look off Sasuke~tene's face anyway. Don't worry, I'm right there with you." Ino glared at him, confusing him. Why was she upset? All he did was agree with her" Baka, you can't beat sasuke~kun. He is the best genin in the entire village." She hadn't been exposed to very many real ninjas had she? "My ass he is, I've heard some of the other genin in this village. If Sasuke~teme can beat those guys here and now I'll eat my goggles."

Ino Fumed at Naruto's claims of Sasuke's false superiority while Shikamaru sighed, "Ino isn't that counter-intuitive to what you just said? You just said to beat Team 7. Well, Sasuke is on Team 7 so you're getting mad at Naruto for agreeing with you. But then again I don't know why I care, this whole thing is troublesome." He looked over at choji, "You might have been better off seeing if your team would eat with you, it would have been less trouble than this."

"It's all right Shikamaru. I don't mind." The agreeable portly boy said as he popped open a fresh bag of chips before noticing that Naruto hadn't eaten a single thing since they got here, "Chip?" He offered it to the blonde boy.

Naruto noticed he was walking toward him and smiled at him, "Thanks a lot choji!" Naruto reached in and grabbed a few choji and gave some to Shikamaru as well. All three boys were seated and munching on chips while Ino was crying over her rotten luck.

Naruto grinned at him," It'll be fine ino. Stop worrying about it. I'm sure Shikamaru isn't as lazy as he seems when something important happens." The girl had to admit, he was right. He did graduate just like everyone else did after all," And what about you" Ino replied, running a hand through her light blonde locks," he might be able to get himself up for when big stuff happens but what about? You can't turn stupid off like that." She knew Naruto failed at the hands. Everyone did it was so evident on his face when he came out of the academy that day. Why was he here? No one told her that.

Naruto gave her a deadpan look, "Yes you can."Ino raised an eyebrow at him," No you can't, you just can't fix weak Naruto." "Yeah, you really can, trust me." Naruto insisted. Dang knew he was bad in the academy, was it that bad? Ino didn't even believe in him enough to think he was useful in a real situation. As far as she was concerned, Shikamaru was more useful in a high-stress situation. That was a heartbreaker. "It is called scrolls and training. That was pretty much invented so that weak people could fix being weak." Ino almost dropped her jaw upon hearing that, Shikamaru opened his eyes to stare at Naruto in surprise, and choji stopped eating to gape at him, "You train Naruto?" All three of them said at the same time.

" I sure do," Naruto said rather proudly. If he was able to get that kind of reaction out of them then he must have been doing something right," every day since graduation!" He neglected to mention that he was tricked into stealing the scroll by Mizuki and tricked the Hokage into keeping the scroll. Still, after you get used to it, training isn't really bad at all. "No way." Ino said in disbelief, "The dead-last that never trained for all these years started training all this week in his own free time? I was barely under the impression that you can throw a kunai and get a bullseye."

Naruto frowned," That's mean ino." He was starting to get tired of all of the cracks in his intelligence. No, he wasn't smart but there had to be someone out there stupider than he was. It was a basic law of the world, somewhere out there someone had to exist dumber than him.

"Ino stop trying to antagonize Naruto." Shikamaru cut in, getting tired of Naruto being grilled over this, "if he did he did. It couldn't be a bad thing that he trained all week. You should be happy about it." Ino blinked at Shikamaru before turning back to her fellow blonde, "Well it's not like I'm mad at him for doing it, but why? Didn't you have anything better to do for the rest of the week, Like hanging out with someone?''Come to think of it, she never really saw Naruto anywhere with anyone. Shikamaru was at least usually with choji. Naruto shook his head, "Other than playing pranks I didn't. All I had to do was train because I promised not to pull any more pranks." Unless someone gave him a seriously good reason to do so. Luckily for everyone, no one gave him a reason to do so yet. But he was feeling the pent-up to vent in a pranking fashion on someone and Kami helped the poor bastard he decided to unleash it on

"Reading books too?" Ino said Naruto reads? Since when did Naruto actively read without being directed to by someone? He barely did it when Iruka had everyone doing things in class.

"Yep." Naruto grinned reassuringly at her before sticking out his fast " So as I said, Everything's going to be fine. We got through the academy in one piece, we can handle anything that gets thrown at us right?" Shikamaru looked up at Naruto before smiling to himself, "It's going to be troublesome already I can just feel it, but you've got it naruto. We can handle whatever."

Naruto looked over to ino with his vibrant blue eyes that exuded confidence before she smirked and flipped her ponytail back" Well I suppose I have to agree right? I mean who else is going to dig you two idiots out of the fire when everything goes wrong? I have to be there to save both of you… I'm sure that will get Sasuke~kun to see how much better I am than Forehead."

Naruto just laughed and threw his hands behind his head, "All right then. So we're a team, right? Team 10? 'Team 10." Shikamaru agreed., "I'd still much rather be on Sasuke~kun team though…" She then perked up and winked, "But yeah Team 10."
