-With Someone/ Someplace-
I do not own Naruto!!


It was just another boring day at the academy for a six year old Naruto Uzumaki. He was just sitting at his table/desk half asleep waiting for Iruka to say he could leave. He then planned on going home or better yet going to Ichiraku’s.

‘Dammit! Why the hell do I even need to go to these classes!? I mean all I have to do is pass the Genin exam when it comes up right?…..Who the hell am I kidding I cant even make a simple bushin there’s no way I can afford to skip class. Plus on top of that I still have five years left of this so I couldn’t skip all of that.’ Naruto thought to himself until the current class conversation snapped him out of his own thoughts.

“So does anyone know what a Kekkei Genkai is?” Iruka asked to the class to ,almost instantly, see a hand raised, and it belonged to none other then Sakura Haruno.

“Yes Sakura go ahead.” Iruka said as Sakura nodded, stood up, and started to explain.

“Kekkei Genkai are abilities passed down genetically in specific clans. Most clans have developed special jutsu related to their Kekkei Genkai and their related jutsu cannot be taught or copied by others, as they require the specific genetic trait to work. Kekkei Genkai abilities that work via the user's eye for example are called dojutsu such as the Byakugan, and Sharingan.” Sakura stated to the rest of the class and Iruka.

“Very good Sakura you may have a seat now.” Iruka complimented as Sakura glanced over at Sasuke to see if he was looking at her, but to her disappointment he wasn’t even paying attention to what she had said. For the simple fact that he knew all of this already.

As Iruka scanned over his class he noticed something very strange his class prankster, and favorite student thought he would never admit it, Naruto, was wide awake and paying full attention to the conversation at hand. This shocked Iruka very much, because Naruto was always either asleep, daydreaming, or simply wasn’t there, which meant that Iruka would have to go find him and bring him back to class. After Iruka got over his sudden shock of what he had seen, he decided that his class had learned enough for the day, and decided he would end it.

“Ok class! That’s enough for today, and your homework for tonight is to be able to tell me at least one Kekkei Genkai and facts about it by tomorrow!” Iruka said as the class started to leave the academy.

By the time Iruka started to leave, he scanned over the room to find Naruto still there, in his seat, deep in thought.

‘Kekkei Genkai huh? Wow that sounds so cool! I wonder if I have one I don’t know about! That would be so awesome!’ Naruto thought to himself excitedly.

Iruka walked over to Naruto, and placed a hand on his shoulder, snapping Naruto from his thoughts as he suddenly looked up at Iruka.

“Naruto you can go now, class is over.” Iruka stated calmly, with a slight smile.

Naruto looked at Iruka and nodded. “Yeah, I guess I should get going huh?” Naruto got up out of his table/desk and started to walk towards the door when he noticed it was currently dark outside. ‘Wow! How long have I been sitting in here for?’ He thought to himself as he started to walk home. Then once again Naruto felt a hand on his shoulder, and as Naruto turned to see who it was he noticed once again it was Iruka.

“Oh hey Iruka-Sensei I didn’t see you come up behind me.” Naruto said with a smile.

“Yeah I just thought I would talk to you for a bit before you went home.” Was Iruka’s response.

“What did you want to talk about Sensei?” Naruto asked with a curious look on his face.

“Well what Kekkei Genkai are you going to look up for class tomorrow? You seemed really into it, when we were talking about them in class today.” Iruka responded again.

Naruto seemed to get really excited just by Iruka’s mentioning of the subject, and got a huge grin on his face “Yeah! Kekkei Genkai’s are so cool! I plan on doing my report on either the Sharingan or the Byakugan! I think dojutsu is the coolest type of fighting there is!” Naruto was clearly very into the subject and Iruka could tell as he started to laugh.

“Well I’m glad your so into this subject Naruto.” Iruka said kindly with a smile.

“Yeah…well I should probably be going now Iruka-Sensei. I have some things I have to do at my apartment.” Naruto stated as Iruka nodded.

“Ok take care Naruto, I’ll see you tomorrow” Iruka responded as Naruto turned and began to walk away with a slight wave goodbye.

‘Man I’m really hungry! I guess I’ll make myself some ramen when I get home.’ Naruto thought to himself as he turned a corner, and lost total sight of Iruka.

Naruto kept walking for awhile once again getting lost in his own thoughts until once again he was snapped out of them by something. Just like before it was a hand on his shoulder, and he turned around expecting to see Iruka once again, but he was only met with a fist to his face, at great force.

Naruto heard what he thought was ‘demon’ before he hit the ground hard. This wasn’t the first time, however, Naruto had been attacked, he actually got attacked four or five times a week if not more. Naruto slowly sat up and looked at the person who had hit him. He looked around six foot five and had a regular sized build, but the thing that really stuck out to Naruto was the fact that this man was wearing an Anbu mask of what looked like a wolf with one eye and the typical Anbu uniform. Now Naruto knew this was a problem because he’d, had people attack him before, and he always either had the choice to run or to fight. He also could get away from most Chuunin, and shockingly enough even some Jounin, and if it turned out to be a villager, then he could just fight them, but an Anbu member was a different story. There was no way he could get away from an Anbu member, and there was no way in hell he could fight one.

‘Oh, god! What should I do!?’ Naruto screamed in his head. He was panicking big time. He had no idea what to do in this type of situation.

Naruto looked at the man wearing the Anbu attire in terror, watching as he inched closer and closer to him. Naruto was actually on the verge of tears, he was so afraid of what was going to happen, and as the Anbu member got right in front of Naruto, Naruto did the only thing he could think of to do, and that was to run for his life. Naruto quickly jumped to his feet and took off past the Anbu member, and as he was running all he heard was a laugh coming from where he had just been. Naruto was stumbling like crazy but he never fell. That was until he bumped into something that had just appeared in front of him. Naruto looked up in horror as it was the same man from before but this time he had a kunai out.

“Where do you think your going demon? I don’t believe I said you could leave just yet.” The man said ,from behind his mask, hate and bloodlust clear in his voice.

Naruto did the only thing he could think of to do, because he knew that trying to run away would not help him at all. He began to try to convince the man otherwise, “Please mister! I didn’t do anything! Please leave me alone! I’ll be good I promise! Just don’t hurt me please mister!” Naruto begged, crying heavily hoping the man would just leave him alone.

The man slowly took off his mask and as it slowly revealed the man’s face. Naruto saw the man with a very bloodthirsty smirk on his face and a large scar across the right side of his face. “Yeah! Like I would let you talk yourself out of this demon! You killed my family, my friends, and my wife! But for you that wasn’t enough! No, along with that you took away my right eye!” The man screamed at Naruto who was shaking heavily and still sobbing not sure of what to do, he was scared out of his mind and couldn‘t think straight anymore.

“I told you mister! I didn’t do anything! I’ve been good! I’ll keep being good if you just leave me alone, please!” Naruto was now screaming back at the man trying with all his might to get the man to leave him alone.

The man just laughed coldly and inched closer to Naruto until he was towering over him again, and then the man picked Naruto up by his shirt and lifted his kunai up into the air.

“PLEASE MISTER DON’T DO THIS TO ME! I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG! I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY! JUST, PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE!” Naruto was hysterical at this point. He was thrashing around trying to get away at any cost.

The man just laughed and swung the kunai down across the right side of Naruto’s face while screaming, “DIE DEMON!”

Naruto’s scream pierced the air all over Konaha. It was so loud that Sandaime even heard it faintly, and knew exactly what it was the second he heard it. “Naruto!” He screamed, and instantly jumped out of the nearest window, taking off in the direction the scream had come from. Sandaime was panicking now, he felt the slight chakra signature that Naruto obtained, slipping away slowly.

The scream also got to some other people, such as Iruka who was eating some ramen of his own when he heard it. He instantly dropped his chopsticks, and was frozen in place by the deafening scream. ‘No…..it cant be! Naruto hold on!’ Iruka screamed in his head and took off towards the scream.

But most of the other people either just ignored it, because they recognized the scream or they got an evil smirk on their face because they knew exactly what was happening to the so called ‘demon child.’

The man was still holding Naruto in his hand, with a Satanist grin on his face. He actually found pleasure in the feeling of Naruto’s blood, hitting the hand that he was holding him by, “You could say as of right now it was an eye for an eye, but don’t worry demon, I’ll finish the job when you’re older! I want to see the terror on your face when you see me again.” The man laughed, and threw Naruto to the dirt floor below, and jumped away still smirking.

Naruto couldn’t think straight at the moment. With all the pain, and the shock that came from his inability to see from his right eye anymore, it would be a shock if anyone could think straight in this type of situation. As all the things around him, that he could see with his left eye, slowly turned black, he fought the urge to slip into the sweet darkness that was calling for him, and thought to himself ‘Why me? What have I done? I haven’t done anything to anyone….The pranks! I have to stop with those! I cant believe people hate me so much for just pulling some little pranks on the village…but if this wont happen anymore I’ll do it. That is if I even survive this.’ He thought as he was engulfed with darkness, and the last thing he heard was the sound of footsteps, and the faint, familiar, voice of an old man yelling “Naruto!”

Naruto slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a sewer type place with pipes all over, going every direction he could see. He slowly stood up, out of the shallow water that he had just recently been laying in. He started to look around and found only one way he could go. So obviously, he started to walk in that direction.

‘Am I dead?’ Naruto thought to himself, only to hear a thunderous laughter come from down the hallway he was, as of now, walking. Causing him to freeze instantly.

“No your not dead Kit” The booming voice said from down the hallway, causing Naruto to become very curious about whatever the thing was. Then some miracle of a way, his curiosity overtook his fear, as he started to walk down the hallway, once again.

“Where are you?” A curious Naruto asked as he walked up to a giant gate with a piece of paper with the Kanji for ‘seal’ on it.

Then Naruto froze right where he stood as what appeared to be a giant fox came into view, in the dimly lit place.

“Hello Kit” The giant creature said, causing a booming sound as Naruto saw its teeth. Just barely, but enough to see how sharp, and big they were.

Naruto began to shake heavily from fear. He was terrified, and once again didn’t know what to do. “Please don’t kill me!” Naruto began to beg just like he did not all that long before.

“Don’t worry Kit I’m here to help you.” The giant creature said, in a thunderous voice like before. Now Naruto was totally confused, he had no idea what was going on anymore. Well not that he had much of an idea in the first place.

“Wait…so your not going to hurt me?” Naruto asked hopeful.

“No Kit I’m not, but there’s a problem that we need to talk about.” The creature stated totally serious.

“Ok but first can you tell me who, or what you are,?” Naruto asked his voice filled with curiosity once again.

“Yeah sure Kit I’m the Kyuubi no Yoko, and I‘m the King of all Demons.” The Kyuubi said simply. Now this got to Naruto big time, he was terrified but yet still was a tiny bit curious, but this time it was the fear that took over, as Naruto started to shake again.

“So y-your no-not go-going to hu-hurt me?” Naruto asked again, stuttering like crazy, he was still visibly shaking but he was slowly gaining back his composure, as time progressed.

“No Kit, I told you I’m not going to hurt you, now we need to talk like I said, ok?” Kyuubi asked, sort of irritated, waiting for Naruto’s response.

Naruto just nodded slowly, and waited for the Kyuubi to continue talking.

The Kyuubi noticed Naruto’s nod and continued “I hate to say this Kit, but your right eye…it’s done. You wont be able to see out of it ever again, But-”

The Kyuubi was cut off by Naruto’s yelling, “What do you mean I wont be able to see with my right eye ever again!? How am I supposed to be a Shinobi if I don’t have both my eyes!? This can’t be happening to me! Why me!? Why!?”

The Kyuubi sighed, and started trying to calm Naruto down, “Kit listen to me! As of now you wont be able to see out of your right eye ever again, but I can help with that if you want.” The Kyuubi offered and Naruto just stood there shocked.

“Wait…you can help me!?” Naruto asked rather stupidly, seeing as the Kyuubi had just said that.

“Yes Kit I can help-” The Kyuubi was once again cut off by Naruto‘s blabber.

“Wow! That’s awesome! So how are you going to help me? Wait…but first, why are you here? And what is ‘here’ anyway?” Naruto asked going from excited to confused in a matter of seconds.

“Well as of where ‘here’ is…I guess I should just say we’re in your mind Naruto, and-” Kyuubi getting cut off was beginning to become a ritual between the two, and they just met like five minutes ago, but all Kyuubi did was sigh as Naruto continued to talk.

“Wait! What!? How are we in my mind!? There’s no way we’re in my mind!” Naruto said totally in denial of what the giant fox had just told him.

“Kit listen to me. We’re in your mind, because I’m inside of you, and please ask questions at the end of my speech ok?” Kyuubi asked kindly, but slightly annoyed, to Naruto. Which received a nod of agreement from him.

“Ok well I’m inside your body, because the damn Fourth Hokage put me in this place. When you were born he took you, and sealed me inside you to save this worthless village, and we are communicating through your mind right now, because it’s the only place we can chat with each other. Now got any questions?” The Kyuubi asked Naruto politely.

Naruto looked totally confused, and unsure of what was happening. He sat down, and started to think to himself, but it actually came out loud, because he was in his mind

“Why did the Fourth have to pick me? What did I do to deserve this? This isn’t fair! My life has been hell all because of one thing I had no control over!” Naruto started to scream as the truth finally dawned on him. “And my eye! If it wasn’t for him, my eye wouldn’t be gone either!” Naruto was furious now, he was growing a very deep hate for the man he had not to long before idolized.

“Kit calm down he had good reasons, and as far as your eye is concerned, I can help you, remember?” The Kyuubi asked trying to calm Naruto down a bit, and it worked shockingly.

Naruto now had his full attention on the Kyuubi, “So how can you help me?”

The Kyuubi chuckled for awhile before talking again, “Well, all of us Bijuu, or legendary tailed beasts, as you humans call us, get to give one gift to our Jinchuuriki, which is you, if we ever end up getting sealed, but most don’t offer the gift, but seeing what has happened I’m willing to give you whatever you want. I suggest you go along the lines of something that helps with your ninja career.”

Naruto was in shock about what was being offered to him he couldn’t believe it, but wouldn’t pass up this chance of a lifetime, and something came to his mind very fast. “Ok Kyuubi I want a Kekkei Genkai, and not just any Kekkei Genkai I want mine to be the ability to be able to copy other Kekkei Genkai’s!” Naruto shouted out, beyond happy, and was hoping that it was actually possible to get his requested ability.

The Kyuubi sat there for awhile before a smirk came to his face. “Good choice Kit, if I can say so myself, and you picked one that is right on the borderline of possibility so you are able to obtain this power, but use it well. Also I’m going to give you a fake eye. One that looks no different then your old one, and even changes color if you use something that changes the color of your eyes/pupils, such as the Sharingan. On top of that though its going to be able to show you outlines of the things around you, so you can see things, just not well defined details.” The Kyuubi finished with a grin.

Naruto then felt himself being pulled out of his mind, and he started to, vaguely, see things around him. It was blurry, but he could see that it was just his eye adjusting to the light, and his other eye was just like Kyuubi said it would be. Naruto could see outlines but no details, he then began to look around to find a very tired looking Iruka sleeping in a chair next to his bed. Naruto slowly sat up to find his right eye was hurting him unbelievably bad. Well his fake eye you should say. Naruto reached up to touch his eye to find it was bandaged up which shocked him.

‘How can I see outlines if there’s something over my eye?’ Naruto asked to himself, until it dawned on him ‘I can see through things, but I cant see details! That’s the weakness, and the strength of the eye…wow that’s so cool!’

A nurse then walked into Naruto’s room, and Naruto was glad to see her, because she was the only one in the hospital that would actually treat Naruto, and since Naruto was in the hospital so much they were really close to each other.

“Hey Azami!” Naruto said happily, he enjoyed seeing the young girl, cause she was one of the few who treated him kindly.

“Hey Naruto.” Azami responded, “You know, it would be nice if we could see each other in a different place, I hate seeing you in here.” The young girl said sadly.

“Oh don’t worry Azami its fine, I’m never really all that injured when I come here.” Naruto said with one of his signature grins.

Azami smiled back, though she knew that was a lie, because she did you tests on Naruto. Maybe to Naruto he was fine, but that was cause whenever he woke up he was better, and that was a result of the Kyuubi. “Yeah sure Naruto just try not to come back here for awhile unless your coming to see me ok?” Azami asked Naruto.

“Yeah sure thing.” Naruto responded.

“I’m going to have to run some tests on you though. So be good, ok?”

“Ok….wait there wont be any needles will there?” Naruto asked, frightened at the thought.

“Just one Naruto.” Naruto winced when he heard that, but Azami continued, “But, if I give you this shot it will make your right eye not hurt anymore.”

At that Naruto perked up and began to beg Azami to give him the shot.

“Ok, ok! Just calm down.” Azami laughed as she went to get the equipment she needed.

-In the Hokage Tower-

“Its gone…he wont be able to use it ever again.” Sandaime said sadly.

“…Why did this have to happen to Naruto of all people?…Oh, and did you ever find the person responsible for this?” A sad Iruka asked.

“Unfortunately we have no idea who did this to Naruto, but the Anbu are looking all over to find anything that could be considered evidence.” Sandaime stated to Iruka.

“Damn…well if you find out who it was can you tell me Hokage-Sama?” Iruka asked pleading.

Sandaime smiled lightly and nodded his head, and with that Iruka was gone. Back at the hospital Naruto had just got his shot, and his eye was already feeling much better then it had been when he first woke up, and he was grateful for that, even if his arm did hurt from the shot. But, Naruto was just wanting to get out of the damn hospital.

“Come on Azami! I’m all better! Please can I leave!?” Naruto begged.

Azami sighed then said, “Fine Naruto you can leave, but be careful ok? Also make sure you find something to cover that eye with, ok? We don’t want you to walk around with a big hole in your head where your eye should be!” Azami laughed out, but then got totally serious again. “Just be careful ok Naruto?”

Naruto nodded, got up, walked out of his room, and out of the hospital. He walked down the street looking around, and was amazed to find he could make out what everything was with only the outlines of them. Like, he could tell what stores were what, and what street he was on. Because of this he actually started walking with his good eye closed just to test out his new eye, and so he kept walking around until he eventually got to his apartment, and as he approached it he started to think to himself.

‘I guess I actually should put something over my eye cause I’m pretty sure people would think its weird if I just got a new eye that was exactly like my old one. Well I guess I could just use like some cloth bandages to put over my eye or something and pull it up if I need to use my eye.’ Naruto thought to himself as he walked into his apartment. He then began looking for a piece of cloth or something to wrap around his head and cover his eye. He soon found some cloth bandages in a cupboard. They were black, which Naruto didn’t mind seeing as he actually liked the color. He gently took off his bandages in front of a mirror. What he saw was that he indeed did have an eye that looked no different than his other one. What shocked him the most though was that there was no scar, or anything to show that he had got attacked. It was just as his face was before the brutal attack.

‘Wow’, he thought ‘Kyuubi did a really good job at covering this up, but I still cant walk around without the bandages on just because the people who know about what happened would get suspicious.’

Naruto decided he would try to talk to Kyuubi since he had nothing better to do. So he closed his eyes, and started trying to go back into the sewer that was his mind, and when he opened his eyes he was standing in front of the giant gate once again.

“Hey Kit! What do you want?” The Kyuubi asked curious, but excited to have someone to talk to.

“Nothing really, I just wanted to talk to you for a bit, you know, ask you some questions that I have on my mind.” Naruto stated calmly.

“Ok Kit so what questions do you got for me?” The giant fox asked.

“Well I was wondering how I use my Kekkei Genkai. Since, you know, being able to use your Kekkei Genkai is a huge part of having one.”

“Well, you can use your Kekkei Genkai by forcing your chakra into whatever part of your body you see the Kekkei Genkai being used from. Like for the Sharingan it would have to be focused into your eyes and for other Kekkei Genkai’s you just do it for other parts of the body.” The Kyuubi explained to Naruto, who was really excited now.

“Really!? So I could get, like the Sharingan or the Byakugan by focusing chakra into my eyes when I see someone using it!?”

To this the Kyuubi just nodded and said, “Actually Kit you could get both if you wanted to.”

Now this made Naruto really excited, “Wow! That’s so awesome I have the best Kekkei Genkai ever!”

The Kyuubi just smirked at the excited little boy in front of him. The boy then stopped, and turned to the Kyuubi as he had another question it seemed.

“Yes?” The Kyuubi asked knowing Naruto was going to ask something.

“How come I don’t have a scar or anything from the attack? I mean, I know that my face got sliced bad, because I wouldn’t have lost my eye if that wouldn’t have happened, and I’m guessing something that bad would leave a scar right?” The confused blond haired boy asked.

The Kyuubi just chuckled slightly, “That would be my doing Kit, because I’m inside of you I heal you a lot faster than you would if you didn’t have me, and that also includes making scars go away, or not appearing at all I guess I should say.” The Kyuubi responded looking sort of tired.

Naruto just nodded and started to try to think of another question, but nothing came to him. So he just looked at the Kyuubi said a quick bye which received a, “Bye Kit.” from The Kyuubi. Then as Naruto left his mind he started to think to himself.

‘I guess I should head over to the Uchiha compound, and copy the Sharingan. I really want to try it out. Then after that I guess I could head over to the Hyuuga estate and get a copy of the Byakugan as well.’ Naruto thought to himself smirking, because he would be able to match the mighty Sasuke Uchiha, Since he would have the exact same thing that gave him an edge before he even had it.

Naruto began to walk over towards the Uchiha compound, and once again he started to think to himself ‘I think I’m going to have to sneak to get the Byakugan, cause if I remember right they’re really strict about showing non-clan members the Byakugan.’ Naruto finished his thought, and started to try to think of ways to be able to see the Byakugan without being noticed. He kept walking lost in his own thoughts until he bumped into something. He looked up and noticed that it was Sasuke’s father Fugaku Uchiha. Naruto then decided he would take this chance to get the Sharingan.

“Umm Mr. Uchiha can I have a minute? Naruto asked looking hopefully at him.

Fugaku took a minute to look over Naruto, and noticed his eye had some bandages over it, which made him wonder. but he smiled nonetheless. “Sure what do you need?” He asked a smile still on his face.

Naruto thought for a moment and responded, “I’m doing a report for school about Kekkei Genkai’s and I need some information about them. Can you help me please?” Naruto asked politely.

“Yeah sure no problem bud, but can you answer something for me first?” He asked

Naruto just nodded.

“What do you have under those bandages? Or are they just for show? I just want to make sure that you don’t have something that will take my Sharingan from me when I show it to you.” Fugaku said jokingly.

Naruto’s eyes however were instantly turned downcast as he said, in a low voice full of hate, “Someone attacked me and it cost me my eye.”

Fugaku instantly regretted asking Naruto this question as he felt very bad for doing so, “I’m sorry for bringing up such a painful memory.” Fugaku said sympathetically.

“It’s ok, don’t worry about it, people are going to be asking me all the time, so I have to get used to telling them I guess.” Naruto responded, with a hint of sadness still present in his voice.

Fugaku quickly tried to change the subject, “So you wanted to see the Sharingan right?”

To this Naruto just nodded. Fugaku smiled, and activated his Sharingan as Naruto stared at it with amazement.

“This-” Fugaku began, “Is the Sharingan.” He finished, his voice full of pride.

Once the Sharingan was activated Naruto pushed all of his chakra into his eyes, which didn’t go unnoticed by Fugaku as he felt the rise in Chakra.

“You know you can’t get the Sharingan don’t you? It’s a Kekkei Genkai, and as you learned they cant be copied or learned.” Fugaku said to the boy who was fiercely pushing chakra into his eyes.

Fugaku just watched on until Naruto spoke.

“I know you cant, but that doesn’t mean you cant try right?” Naruto was sweating like crazy, and his eyes were starting to droop as everything was slowly turning black, until he finally gave out, and fell to the ground unconscious.

Fugaku smiled at the boy laying on the ground in front of him, ‘He sure has some determination I’ll give him that.’ And with that he picked Naruto up, and took him to the Konaha Hospital.

Naruto awoke to the thing he hated seeing the most. That damn white ceiling, which Naruto had learned, meant he was in the hospital.

‘Damn’, he thought to himself, ‘I overdid it I guess, but hopefully I wont have to stay very long since I was just suffering from Chakra depletion’

Naruto slowly sat up and looked around. He was sore all over, and started to stretch when it dawned on him “THE SHARINGAN!” He screamed out loud by accident only to have Azami rush in, and almost break the door down doing so.

“What’s wrong Naruto!?” She yelled then realized that everything was fine, and calmed down rather quickly.

“Nothing I’m fine.” Naruto responded.

Azami walked over to Naruto, and took a seat on his bed and looked him in the eyes. (and yes I said ‘eyes’) Then Naruto slowly reached his hand up and felt where the bandages should have been, but there was no sign of them as he touched his new eye. Naruto was speechless he didn’t know what to do…Azami knew everything now.

“Naruto-” She began softly, “How do you have your eye back?”

Naruto knew the question was coming, but still had to think of an answer, “Umm its fake it just looks real.” Naruto said, trying to pull off the lie. Hoping she would buy it, but he could tell she didn’t.

“Naruto, I did tests on your eye and its real…now tell me how you got it.” Azami was totally serious now.

Naruto started to panic once again. He didn’t want to lose one of the few people who he was close to, and who actually cared for him. He frantically tried to think of an answer for the question, and the worry, and fear were evident on his face. Azami knew the reason now, and she also figured out why he was panicking so much.

“Naruto-” She said softly, and Naruto looked up slowly, fear clear in his eyes, “You don’t have to worry Naruto I don’t hate you. I know about the Kyuubi, and I don’t think you’re the demon I know your Naruto Uzumaki, and your just like everyone else. So don’t be afraid to tell me what happened.”

The look on Naruto’s face was something new to Azami it was an actual smile, a genuine smile, it wasn’t like all of those other fake smiles that the boy used all the time, no this one was one hundred percent real.

“…” Naruto didn’t know what to say he saw his vision start to blur with the tears that were starting to come into his eyes. Naruto closed his eyes as tears started to roll down his face as he actually felt loved for the first time in his life by someone other than The Hokage. Then Naruto’s eyes shot open from shock, when he felt contact with something, and what he saw stunned him, Azami was hugging him. At first Naruto didn’t know what to do. This was the first time Naruto had been hugged by anyone before, but after a couple of seconds he just mimicked what Azami was doing, and hugged her back. After awhile of silence, and they both just sat there hugging each other, Naruto had calmed down and, was ready to talk.

“Ok-” Naruto said in a voice that was still unsure of what he was doing, but was going to go on anyway. “After I lost consciousness from the attack…I met with Kyuubi. He told me everything, like where we were, why he was there, and so on and so forth, but a few things I put together on my own. Like the reason why the villagers hated me so much, and why all the beatings occurred. So then after that, he talked about how all Jinchuuriki can receive a gift from their Bijuu if their Bijuu will allow them to receive it. Kyuubi said I needed his gift so he gave me a choice at what I wanted, and after I chose he gave me a new eye even though I cant see through it. I can see outlines and stuff from it though, so its better than nothing.” Naruto finished with a deep breath.

It took a bit for all the information to get through to Azami, but after she got all the information clear in her mind she had some questions for Naruto. “Ok-” She took a second to think about the question, “Where did you guys end up talking?”

“My mind” Naruto said simply earning a nod and an ‘ok’ from Azami. Then next question came, “What was your gift?” Now this caused Naruto to smile big, “I can copy Kekkei Genkai’s.” Naruto said in a whisper only loud enough for Azami to hear it. Now that caused Azami to double take what she just heard.

“What!?” Was Azami’s yelled response, and to which Naruto just smiled and nodded his head to reassure that Azami had heard him right.

Then without saying anything else Naruto got up still with a huge grin on his face, and walked out determined to try out his new Sharingan. Leaving a, still very, shocked Azami behind him. But before he was out of earshot he heard a faint voice that belonged to Azami say softly, “But that cant be possible.”

Naruto walked outside, and went into the woods around Konaha to try out his Sharingan. He walked for awhile until he found a clearing and then focused chakra into his eyes, but nothing happened.

‘Huh!? Why cant I use the Sharingan?’ Naruto thought to himself, and he kept trying by pumping more chakra into his eyes until he was getting fatigued. He knew the result if he kept doing what he was, so he decided he would go talk to Kyuubi about it. So Naruto sat down and closed his eyes only to open them in front of the gate again.

“Yo.” The Kyuubi said in a bored tone

Naruto started to ask him why he couldn’t use the Sharingan, but was cut off by the Kyuubi.

“Kit you cant use it, because you need to be in a life or death situation to awaken it. But I can help you with that. If you use my chakra, you should be able to activate the Sharingan without the whole life or death situation thing.”

Naruto smiled brightly, “Thanks Kyuubi! So how do I use your chakra?”

“Well, now that I’m allowing you to use my chakra all you have to do is tap into my chakra, and you should be able to do just that if you just do what you do when you come and talk to me except for target my chakra.”

“Ok I’ll try!” Naruto responded, and was instantly out of his mind, and in the forest again.

Naruto closed his eyes, and began to try to locate The Kyuubi’s chakra then he saw something that looked like a red flame, and tried to connect with it, and when he opened his eyes he was engulfed by a red flame that was actually Kyuubi’s chakra. Naruto smirked and then started charging said chakra into his eyes, and reopened them, to see nothing different. Naruto was getting angry, and he was really confused now.

‘I thought Kyuubi said that would work!?’ Naruto thought to himself only to be snapped out of his thoughts by a sound nearby.

Naruto quickly turned around, and saw a rabbit run out from behind a bush except something was different. The rabbit looked like it was moving in slow motion! Then it hit Naruto.

“IT WORKED!” He screamed at the top of his lungs, thrilled that he now possessed the Sharingan. The most prized Kekkei Genkai to date.

After Naruto calmed down a bit, worked out a little, and messed around with his newly acquired Sharingan for a short period of time, Naruto began to think to himself about how he was going to get the Byakugan. He deactivated his Sharingan, sat down, and thought for awhile until an idea came to him. Naruto smirked and started walking back to his apartment. He would need to wait until tomorrow to put his plan into action.

-At the Konaha Hospital-

Azami was walking down the hallways of the hospital checking on patients, it was after visiting hours so no one was aloud to be in the hospital rooms who wasn’t a patient or worked there. She was looking in all the rooms, checking to make sure the patients were alright. Then out of nowhere she heard something hit the wall behind her. She quickly turned around, and walked over to where the object had hit the wall. She found that it was a very dull kunai. Azami looked over at the room, and checked her list of patients to see who was in the room, and see what they were currently in for. When she got to the room number, which was 3481, there was no patients currently occupying that room at the time. So Azami decided to go have a look in the room, to see if anyone was in there. She slowly walked into the room, and tried the lights, but they wouldn’t work. She then froze instantly when something landed in front of her. She walked over slowly, and picked it u, just as slowly. It turned out to be another kunai, but this one was not dull at all, actually it was the exact opposite of the last one. This one was extremely sharp. Then in an instant there was metal pressed against her neck, and her mouth was covered by a hand. She would have struggled, but she was way to scared to even move at the moment. Though she did use her peripherals and saw that this man was wearing an Anbu mask of what she made out to be a wolf with one eye.

The Anbu member then started to speak, “See this is what befriending a demon gets you girl.” He whispered into her ear.

By this time Azami was like Naruto was before. She was hysterical and crying heavily. The only sound that came out were muffled screams but those weren’t even loud enough to leave the room.

The Anbu member once again started to speak in a low whisper, “You know what?” He thought for a second, “I want to see how far that demon can fall. He killed my family, and friends well I’m going to take one of his friends out of his life.”

By this time Azami knew she couldn’t get away from the Anbu member so she just sat there sobbing her eyes out as the Anbu member inched the kunai closer, and closer to her neck. Then in one swift motion it was over. There was blood splattered all over the floor, and Azami lay on the floor, her eyes wide open with blood rushing out of her neck. The Anbu member started laughing hysterically as he jumped out of the nearest window, and into the night.

-At the Hokage Tower-

Sandaime was sitting as his desk doing the endless supply of paperwork you get for some reason, when you’re Hokage.

“I don’t know why I retook this job.” Sandaime sighed, as he remembered the times when he could just sit at his house, and relax instead of sitting at a desk, and doing mountains of paperwork that never got any smaller no matter how much of it you did.

Then an Anbu appeared behind Sandaime.

“Yes Kakashi?” Sandaime asked without even turning around.

“Hokage-Sama we have a situation. A nurse was found dead in a hospital room. The room didn’t belong to anybody fortunately, but the nurse’s throat was slit and there’s blood all over the room. That’s all I have to report at the moment.”

“Thank you Kakashi.” Sandaime said, while rubbing his temples, “You may leave.”

Kakashi nodded and responded, “Hokage-Sama” Before vanishing.

Sandaime sighed, and went back to work knowing he was going to be for a long night.

-Naruto’s Apartment-

For some reason Naruto couldn’t sleep at all. He had a really bad feeling that he just couldn’t shake. Naruto sighed, got up, and decided he would go over and see Azami. He would always go over to the hospital, and talk to her if she was working, and he couldn’t sleep. They would meet in a room, and just talk until Naruto got tired, and went back to his house. And that’s exactly what he had in mind for this visit. So Naruto got up, wrapped his eye, jumped out the window, and started off towards the Hospital.

When Naruto arrived at the hospital he was shocked to see all the Anbu around, and the fact that people were going every which way. After awhile of waiting and there being no sign of Azami, Naruto decided that he would go look for her. Something came to Naruto’s mind, he didn’t look like he was a patient, he had to get some clothes so he could walk around freely without being kicked out, and it just so happened that the room Azami and Naruto would meet in was a storage room. So Naruto simply just grabbed some clothes. The hospital clothes were simply a bluish grey shirt with some grey sweats. So Naruto walked out of the closet, and down the hall, passing many Anbu along with some doctors and nurses which gave him hateful glares. Naruto just kept walking, and as another doctor walked passed him he too glared at Naruto, and Naruto was sick of it now.

“If you want the ‘demon’ to kill you then keep looking at me,” Naruto said with hate clear in his voice as he pulled out a kunai, that Sandaime had gave him earlier that day for protection. The doctor just smirked, and kept walking that is until a kunai was implanted in the wall inches from his face. That stopped him dead in his tracks, and he slowly turned around to see a very pissed off Naruto standing there. The doctor figured even if the boy was only six at most he would be something to deal with if he was that good with a kunai, which it appeared. The doctor then did the most sensible thing he could think of, he turned, and ran down the hallway stumbling along the way, and he even fell once. Naruto just walked over, got his kunai, and started walking down the hallway again.

“I wonder where Azami is?” Naruto asked to himself out loud as he continued walking down the hallway until he turned the corner and saw all the Anbu around one room, and this of course peaked Naruto’s curiosity as he slowly walked over and stood behind the Anbu that for some reason didn’t notice him. Maybe whatever was in the room was really important. As Naruto moved a little closer, he noticed the floor had a red line going down it, but it wasn’t wet so he didn’t know what it was. But as he got closer, and closer the trail got wider, and wider until the room was visible. Naruto then looked up into the room, and his eyes widened in shock, and he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Azami…was dead laying right in front of him her eyes facing the ceiling. Naruto took some steps back, and fell. His eyes still wide in shock. The tears started to come to his eyes, and then were running down his cheeks.

‘Why!? Why!? Why!? Why!? Why!? Why!? Why does this always happen to me!? Everything I hold dear to me is destroyed! I cant…I cant live like this. I have to stop caring about other people…if I care about others this is all that will come from it. From now on I wont love or have any feelings except hate towards others with the exception of Ojiisan and Iruka-Sensei.’ Naruto finished his thought as he slowly stood up only to get kicked in the back, and to fall down again. Naruto was getting really pissed off, over all of the shit he had been taking, and he was about to attack the Anbu who kicked him, when one stepped up and said, “Leave him alone before I kill you.” Then the Anbu member looked at Naruto and motioned for him to leave, and at this Naruto got up and ran out of the room. While running Naruto vowed he would never get pushed around again, and instead of running home Naruto ran out into the forest to train.

-At the Hokage Tower-

“I had to step in and even threaten to kill another member just so Naruto could leave.” One voice said.

“So its that bad is it? I hope this doesn’t effect Naruto to badly. He‘s been through a lot in the last couple of days” Another voice said.

“Yes he has.” Was the response.

“Well thank you Kakashi you may leave.”

“Hokage-Sama.” Kakashi said before leaving.

Sandaime sighed, “This is turning out worse then I could have imagined.”

-The Forest Around Konaha-

Naruto had been training nonstop ever since he left the hospital on the way to the forest he was actually walking on his hands to get there, but when he got there he went straight to work. Naruto had got so good with his accuracy that he could actually hit a target with a kunai from one hundred yards away, and not hit anything except for the target. There was a problem that Naruto kept thinking about though, he didn’t know any jutsu. He decided he would ask Sandaime later for some scrolls. It was about three in the morning, but Naruto decided he could do without sleep he would train nonstop only stopping to go to school and to eat or drink.

‘Today’s the day I get the Byakugan’ He thought to himself, and smirked. Today was going to be a good day for him.

Naruto decided he would run laps around Konaha, and he decided, to himself, that about twenty would be good enough at the moment. So he took off around Konaha running full speed.

At about 5:30 he finished his laps, and was sweating profusely, but he didn’t take a break. Nope, he went right into doing pushups, and sit ups. He did them in pairs of fifty, thinking that it would push him harder, and benefit him more. By the time Naruto had done five hundred of each it was 6:00, and he decided he would practice with his Sharingan some. He forced some of The Kyuubi’s chakra into his eyes, and the Sharingan was activated. He then started to run through the forest killing whatever he saw, and that included a couple rabbits, a possum, and a deer. Naruto walked back into the clearing, and then started working on his Taijutsu skills by punching and kicking trees, at about 7:00. After about an hour it was now 8:00, and Naruto’s hands were covered in blood and though his feet weren’t as bad it was close. He just shrugged it off, and started to walk to class which was at 8:30. By the time Naruto got to the academy it was 8:25 so he walked in, and sat down resting his hands on the desk leaving a decent sized pool of blood, that was growing larger, there. This however didn’t go unnoticed by most of the class, and neither did his bandaged right eye, Naruto could feel their stares at him, and it was starting to piss him off.

“Is there something you want? Or do you just find pleasure in staring at me? Cause your really starting to piss me off.” Naruto asked, in a very cold and irritated tone without even turning his head.

At this the class froze, they never expected this from Naruto. If that would have been Sasuke, then it would have been no surprise, but no, this was Naruto, the kid who wouldn’t take anything serious. This actually even got Sasuke’s attention as he walked over, and sat by Naruto

“Dobe.” He said smirking, as that’s how he addressed Naruto whenever they talked. But this time Naruto didn’t say anything back he just sat there, and then got a sadist smile on his face, which freaked the hell out of Sasuke, and the rest of the class that was watching. Then Sasuke felt something against his throat.

“Don’t think I wont kill you right now you bastard.” Naruto said through clenched teeth.

Now Sasuke was freaking out. This was the last thing he expected Naruto to do. He thought he would yell at him and go back to normal, not pull a kunai and threaten to kill him. To break the tension Iruka walked in the classroom, and was amazed by what he saw. Naruto had a kunai against the Uchiha’s neck. Naruto had totally changed for the worst.

“Naruto!” Iruka yelled causing Naruto to look up at him and then release the Uchiha and actually throw him down the steps. Now that made the fan girls so mad that they totally forgot what just happened.

“NA-RU-TO!” They all yelled.

“Shut up.” Was Naruto’s quick response. Then he let out a killer intent that was so strong it made Iruka quiver.

“Apologize to Sasuke-Kun right now!” One of the fan girls yelled at Naruto.

Naruto smirked and took out a kunai which made everybody’s eyes go wide. “I told you to shut up.” He said killer intent seeping into his voice as he threw the kunai at the girl only to have it stopped by being embedded in Iruka’s hand.

This really confused Naruto. Iruka just saved one of his enemy’s! “Why!?” Naruto screamed startling everyone in the classroom.

Iruka looked at Naruto sadly. He really did a huge turn for the worst, and was moving at deadly speeds in that direction. “Because-” Iruka began “You cant do that dem-” Iruka froze before finishing that word, as his eyes went wide. He hadn’t been thinking about what he was saying, and let one of his old names for Naruto almost come out. Of course he didn’t feel that way about Naruto now, but that wouldn’t help anything as far as Naruto was going to think.

Now Naruto was stunned, one of the people who was precious to him, and who he thought actually cared for him, had just revealed that he had the same feelings towards him as everyone else in Konaha did. Then a sad smile made its way to Naruto’s face as he looked down at the ground, and tears began to form in the corners of his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away not wanting anyone to see. “I should have figured-” Naruto began as Iruka’s eyes widened even more. “I should have never thought I was close to anyone at all.” He laughed bitterly. “Well at least you don’t have to see the demon anymore Iruka-Sensei.” Naruto said, with one of his fake smiles as he walked out of the academy, and jumped off at high speeds, heading for the Hokage Tower.

Iruka was still in shock from what he had said, and what had just happened. He was also trying to think of a way to say sorry to Naruto, but he knew there was no way he could apologize for calling him a demon. He looked at his class, and dismissed them even though the class had just begun. Then he made his way to the Hokage Tower.

-At the Hokage Tower-

Naruto had just arrived at the Hokage’s office after what had happened at the academy, but didn’t talk about it with Sandaime. He just came to get some stuff from the old man he considered his grandfather.

“Hey Ojiisan! can I have some scrolls, so I can learn some jutsu in my free time? I get bored so I thought it would be a good idea to become a better ninja instead of doing nothing, you know?” Naruto asked.

Sandaime smiled at Naruto for his reasoning, nodded his head, pushed a button under his desk, and part of the wall shifted a little. Sandaime then got up, and removed the part of the wall which had shifted, revealing a room filled with scrolls.

“This room has scrolls filled with basic jutsu that you can learn. Take as many as you like and if you want a new scroll come back, and I’ll let you get more…but don’t lose any of them please.”

Naruto was filled with excitement as he ran into the room and began picking up as many scrolls as he could carry then casually just walked back out. Sandaime took a blank scroll and sealed all the scrolls into it, then handed it back to Naruto.

“To unseal the scrolls just wipe some blood over the seal on the scroll. Also don’t worry if someone takes the scroll, cause only your blood can unseal this scroll.”

That shocked Naruto he had never heard of something like that before. A seal only he could use, and then he thought of something that he had heard of, that would be useful if he could master. So he decided he would ask Sandaime about it.

“Umm Ojiisan I was wondering..” Naruto stopped for a second to rethink this.

“Yes Naruto? Go on, what is it?”

Naruto continued on “I was wondering…I read about a jutsu, and I was wondering if you could show me how to do it.”

“So what was the jutsu? I’m pretty sure I can help you out with it.” Sandaime said smiling.

Naruto smiled back and stated, “It’s the Kage Bushin no Jutsu. (Shadow Clone Technique)”

Sandaime’s eyes widened with surprise.

“Yeah sure Naruto, but I must say that wasn’t what I was expecting you to ask for.”

Naruto laughed, “Well I’m full of surprises Ojiisan.”

Sandaime just nodded slightly, “Remember this though Naruto. The Kage Bushin no Jutsu is a forbidden technique. If you make to many clones you could die from chakra exhaustion…so just be careful with it, ok?” Naruto smiled, and nodded in response.

After Sandaime showed Naruto the basics of the Kage Bushin no Jutsu Naruto left with his scroll full of scrolls, which were full of jutsu, and the knowledge of a forbidden jutsu. Naruto was pretty happy with the outcome of his meeting with Sandaime. Naruto had something big in mind for the Kage Bushin no Jutsu ,and he was about to put that plan into action.

-At the Hokage Tower-

“Yes Hokage-Sama every single one except for Uchiha Sasuke is dead.” The Anbu member stated with concern in his voice.

“That’s terrible, and also concerns me deeply.” Sandaime stated worry clear in his voice.

“Why is that Hokage-Sama?” The Anbu asked confused.

“Because if someone or even a group was able to kill off the Uchiha clan then they’re a huge problem.”

Then all of a sudden another Anbu appeared at the window.

“Yes Kakashi?” Sandaime asked

“We figured out who the killer of the Uchiha clan was.” Kakashi stated calmly.

“Killer?…So that means it was only one person then…that’s a big problem, but anyway continue Kakashi.”

Kakashi nodded then continued on, “The killer was…Uchiha Itachi.”

The Sandaime smiled sadly, “I should have figured it was him. Very well thank you Kakashi you may take your leave.”

Kakashi bowed, and vanished along with the other Anbu, but just as they left Iruka walked inside the office.

“Yes Iruka what can I do for you?” Sandaime asked tiredly.

“…” Iruka hesitated to tell Sandaime what he had done, but after a short while the whole story was out, and Sandaime was very concerned about what was going to happen with Naruto.

Sandaime sighed and leaned back in his chair, “This is going to be a problem. Naruto wont trust anybody anymore, I think I’m the only one he thinks actually cares for him.”

Iruka stayed quiet, while he seemed to find the ground very interesting. He knew he was the reason Naruto would never trust anyone.

“Iruka don’t feel bad. I’m sure in time Naruto will get over this, we just need to give him some time.” Sandaime said, in a cheerful tone.

“I hope so.” Was Iruka’s quick response.

-Somewhere in Konaha-

Naruto had been walking for awhile now, and he kept thinking over his plan and any way he thought of it, it would work out. As Naruto slowly got closer to the Hyuuga Estate he said “Kage Bushin no Jutsu!” This created about 20 Naruto clones except for one simple thing. None of them looked like Naruto, they all looked different.

“Yeah! It worked!” Naruto shouted. He had been hoping that he could make his clones into anything he wanted in one go, and after some thinking through it he figured a way he could do it. Just think about each clone separately, and design them however you want then create them all, and it had worked like he hoped it would.

Naruto slowly inched closer as his clones all separated until they saw who they were looking for… Neji Hyuuga. One of the clones jumped out and ran at Neji the whole time charging chakra into his eyes. When Neji saw this he activated his Byakugan, and got in a defensive stance as five more clones all jumped out all focusing chakra into their eyes. As one of the clones just waited in a tree doing the same. After a bit all the clones were out, and circling Neji until suddenly they all vanished, and the clone in the tree jumped down.

“Thanks, that’s all that I needed to see.” He said smirking, then vanished. Leaving a very confused Neji. As soon as all the clones vanished it hit Naruto hard. all the chakra the clones had used came back and effected Naruto, but all he did was smirk as he focused chakra into his eyes, and then the Byakugan appeared as did veins around his eyes. Then after he deactivated it…fell over, unconscious.

-In the Forest surrounding Konaha-

Naruto slowly sat up and had no idea where he was until all of his memory’s started coming back to him and then he smirked and activated then deactivated his Byakugan. He stood up and decided while he was out in the forest already why not train. He started off with thirty laps around Konaha this time, and that took about two and a half hours which landed him at 4:30 PM since he started at around 2:00 PM. After taking a little breather Naruto pulled out the scroll that Sandaime had given him, bit his finger, and wiped it across the seal causing all the scrolls to appear and fall into his hands. Setting them all down on a flat rock he took one and opened it up. He began looking at it and saw that it was all Katon jutsus. Naruto thought back and remembered that The Uchiha Clan specialized in Katon jutsu, so Naruto figured he would get some to match that of the ‘Great Uchiha Sasuke.’ Naruto studied the scroll for a good three hours and got the hang of a lot of the jutsu even the Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Element, Grand Fireball Technique) which was supposed to be one of the great jutsus known by the Uchiha’s, and the Kasai Bushin no Jutsu (Fire Clone). Naruto was really fatigued, but decided he had to keep going. So he made about twenty clones using Kage Bushin no Jutsu and opened up another scroll that had ‘Suiton’ on it which Naruto thought would be good so it could cancel out fire jutsus.

“Ok guys each of you pick a jutsu and go work on it, but don’t pick the same jutsus, ok?”

“OK!” They all shouted in unison and all ran off to get to work.

After about another hour all the clones were gone and Naruto had a major headache.

“DAMMIT!” He screamed “Why cant I do this without a damn headache!?”

Naruto started walking back to his apartment and started to think to himself while rubbing his temples, ‘Ok so I got about twenty Katon jutsu down and about fifteen Suiton down, including the Mizu Bushin no Jutsu which helps a lot. I should be in pretty good shape if I keep doing this everyday. I would be above all the Genin by the time I become a Genin!’ Naruto smiled to himself, this was going great. Naruto just figured that things would keep getting better if he only cared about himself, because, as of right now it sure as hell seemed that way.

Naruto got back to his apartment soon after he left the forest and simply got into bed and went to sleep expecting a big day tomorrow, while at the same time relieving him of his unbelievable headache.

-6:30 In the Morning-

Naruto’s alarm clock started to go off and instantly was impaled by a kunai which was thrown by Naruto because of his quick reactions. He didn’t mean to do it though, because that meant he would have to get a new one which of course was not very enjoyable since pretty much all the store owners hated him, and on top of that, I mean seriously! Who the hell goes out to buy alarm clocks!? But anyway Naruto slowly got up and went out to train before class started he decided he would do a quick lesson. He made twenty Shadow Clones and got out another scroll that had ‘Fuuton’ on it which Naruto knew meant wind jutsus. Naruto did what would become his routine and told the clones to pick something and go practice it.

After about twenty five minutes the headache came and Naruto had the knowledge of all the clones which meant knowledge of all the jutsu. Once again Naruto learned the elemental clone jutsu for wind which was called Kaze Bushin no Jutsu (Wind Clone)also he learned a couple of other things like the Reppushou (Gale Wind Palm) and the Fuusajin (Dust Wind) At this time it was about 7:00 which meant Naruto had about an hour and a half before class started, which he was really dreading since he now knew the truth about Iruka. Naruto just decided on looking over another scroll by himself for the rest of the time. He picked one up with nothing labeled on it and opened it to see a heading that said in bold letters ‘Training Exercises and Ninja Basics’ Naruto wasn’t very interested in this scroll until something caught his attention. ‘Water Walking’ was all that it said but that was enough to get Naruto hooked to this scroll. He started to read about how to walk on water and saw that the very first thing it said was that he needed to master how to ‘Tree Climb.’ Naruto sweat dropped instantly while thinking.

‘How does tree climbing help at all? Plus, I mean its not even hard to do! I was tree climbing when I was five!

Naruto decided he would look over the section though, just because the scroll told him to. What Naruto read shocked him.

‘Without hands!?’ Naruto shouted in his head ‘There’s no way that’s possible!’ Naruto was definitely interested in this now. He read through and saw that all you had to do was focus you chakra into your feet and walk/run up the tree. He figured there’s no way it could be that complicated. I mean he did charge chakra into his eyes to get the Sharingan and the Byakugan. How much different could doing it to your feet be?

Naruto walked up to a tree then started pumping as much chakra as he could into his feet and started to run up the tree only for the tree to pretty much explode and throw him off.

‘Huh!? What the hell just happened!?’ Naruto still very confused walked up to the tree and tried again but this time tried almost no chakra at all. He began to run up the tree but slipped and fell, but landed on his feet.

‘Oh I see now! If you put to much chakra into your feet it will blow your feet off of the tree, but if you have to little you’ll slip off…so that’s why this is a training exercise! This trains Chakra control!’ Naruto was really happy now. He knew all the cool things you could do with good Chakra Control, and he wanted to be able to do said things. Naruto smirked and did his now favorite jutsu and called out, “Kage Bushin no Jutsu!”

About ten Naruto’s went over to a tree and started trying to run up them as the real Naruto joined. After about an hour of repeatedly trying to run up the tree all the clones vanished and then all the memory’s rushed to Naruto’s head. He was slowly getting used to it though as his head didn’t hurt near as much as it did before. Naruto sat up slowly unbelievably tired from all the working but then smiles as he now was better at climbing trees using his chakra to hold him into the tree. It was now 8:00 so Naruto had thirty minutes to get to his class.

“Damn, I’m going to be unbeatable since I have this jutsu! Learning various jutsus in a couple of hours, doing chakra control exercises, man this kicks ass!”

Naruto forced himself to walk to the academy even though he was on the verge of passing out then he noticed he was covered in sweat and so on so forth.

“I cant go to the academy like this!” Then Naruto got an idea, and made a hand seal, then a clone popped into existence.

“Listen I want you to go to the academy and stay there until I get there. I have to go take a shower and stuff so just hang there until I show up ok?”

The clone nodded and ran off. Naruto turned with a grin on his face and walked back to his apartment. When Naruto got there he quickly took his clothes off, took a quick shower, dried himself off, and got some new clothes on, which included a black and red shirt and jeans. Naruto decided he had enough time to make himself some ramen so he got to work on that. After about twenty minutes the ramen was ready and Naruto pretty much just drank it. Then Naruto decided he was good to go to the academy so he took off towards it.

When Naruto walked in the clone poofed away and Iruka looked shocked that Naruto who had never been able to make anything close to a clone could make one, but didn’t say anything as Naruto sat down and kept to himself. Everyone in the room had been whispering about the Uchiha massacre until Naruto walked in the room then for some reason it all stopped. Naruto also noticed that Sasuke was a little more uptight then he had previously been, but that was expected from someone who’s entire clan just got killed (Naruto didn‘t know about Sasuke‘s conversation with Itachi). Naruto just shrugged it off I mean he didn’t care about Sasuke, he barely cared about him before, except for the fact that he hated him and would yell at him everyday, but now Naruto knew he could kick Sasuke’s ass around the block and back so he couldn’t care less about the ‘Last Uchiha’ which he was called now.

All the fan girls of Sasuke were trying to talk to him, but since Naruto was sitting there they couldn’t get next to him and that was starting to annoy them, but it was annoying Naruto even more.

“Sasuke-Kun are you alright? I must be hard losing all those people…but don’t worry I‘m here for you always!” Sakura asked/stated then blushed at the thought of Sasuke opening up to her. Then she actually pushed Naruto down the stairs which ended with him hitting the floor and I mean hard, which made everyone’s eyes open in shock. Then as Sakura was still lost in her obsession rant about Sasuke a kunai pierced the wall inches from Sakura’s head. Now this made Sakura and the rest of the class freeze big time, and Sakura slowly turned her head to face Naruto, her eyes wide.

“Listen here. You can rant on all you want about Prick Boy over there but never! And I mean NEVER Touch me!” Then Naruto swiftly took out some shuriken. Which in turn shook Iruka, who had been in shock at the moment, back to his senses as he prepared to stop Naruto.

“As an example for the rest of you Sakura is going to die.” Total seriousness in Naruto’s voice.

At this Iruka charges at Naruto and attempted to tackle him only for Naruto to poof away at the contact. ‘A clone!?’ Iruka thought in shock, he hadn’t seen Naruto make any seals or even heard him call out the technique. What was a real shocker to Iruka was when he felt something hit the back of his head as said head went straight down and hit the floor, causing some blood to come out of his mouth. Iruka slowly stood up to see a shocked, but scared room full of students and Naruto standing there his head downcast, you couldn’t see his eyes at all.

“Naruto..” Iruka said softly almost in a whisper. Then he froze as he noticed something. Naruto was crying, Iruka could tell by the wet spots on the floor beneath Naruto’s head, and the way his shoulders slightly shook.

-Outside the Academy-

‘This is bad, Naruto’s losing it.’ Kakashi thought to himself as he saw Naruto crying after he had assaulted Iruka.

Kakashi quickly made his way into the academy and hid in the shadows as not to be seen by anybody. Just then Naruto appeared behind Iruka, his eyes slitted, and blood red. His K-9’s were fangs now, while his fingernails were claws. Naruto was holding a kunai, but was still visibly crying. Iruka didn’t have time to respond as Naruto brought the kunai down. Iruka braced for the slice, but it never came. Iruka looked back to see Kakashi holding a knocked out Naruto over his shoulder.

“Don’t worry I knocked out the rest of the class before they saw him with fangs and such so they wont realize what just happened. As for Naruto I’m going to take him to the Hokage’s office, I don’t know what to do about him anymore. Maybe Hokage-Sama will know what to do with him.” Kakashi stated then jumped out the window and started towards the Hokage Tower.

Iruka sat there for a bit thinking about how all of this was his fault. Naruto was already heading in the wrong direction since the whole hospital incident and all he did was teleport him to his destination. Iruka noticed that his students were coming around. He sat in his chair with a smile on his face as all the students slowly set their heads up and looked around then at Iruka.

“Iruka-Sensei, what happened?” Kiba asked the question that everybody was wondering.

Iruka laughed and simply said, “Sorry guys I just thought I would show you an example of Genjutsu by putting you all to sleep with one.”

All the academy students except for Shikamaru, seeing as he was already asleep and didn’t need to get knocked out, and was still sleeping actually, nodded in response. Iruka smiled at his class and then started to teach them again, worry about Naruto never leaving his mind.

-At the Hokage Tower-

Kakashi had quickly made his way to the Hokage Tower. He was still holding Naruto over his shoulder as he walked into the building. He simply nodded at the Ninja that were walking around the building and walked up to the Hokage’s Office knocking at the door.

“Come in” Was the response from the Hokage. Sandaime looked up and saw Kakashi carrying Naruto over his shoulder. “What happened Kakashi?”

“Naruto went berserk on Iruka, when he tried to stop him from killing Sakura Haruno” Kakashi said like he was reporting a mission.

“I see.” Was all Sandaime said back, then “You may leave now Kakashi just leave Naruto here please I wish to talk to him about this situation.”

Kakashi just nodded, set Naruto down on the Hokage’s desk, then vanished. Sandaime just sat there looking at Naruto, then started thinking about what exactly to do with the boy. He was thinking of making a jutsu so Naruto would forget his memory’s but that would be cruel, because even if Naruto did have a bad past he deserved to know about it. He also thought about giving Naruto a private teacher but that wouldn’t do either because no one except for probably Kakashi would teach Naruto, and he was the Anbu Captain so that couldn’t happen unless he left Anbu. Sandaime sighed and came to his decision on what to do with Naruto. Sandaime got snapped out of his thoughts as Naruto slowly sat up and looked around then at Sandaime.

“Hey Ojiisan. What am I doing here?” Naruto asked clearly confused.

Sandaime smiled at Naruto and said, “Well I brought you here, but you fell asleep on me when I got to you from the academy.”

Naruto looked shocked. He didn’t remember any of that, all he remembered was Iruka attacking him (The way he saw it) then it was all just a blur. Naruto didn’t say anything though just because this was coming from the one person he could trust in this village.

“Naruto…listen, I’m going to take you out of the academy, b-” Sandaime was cut off by Naruto.

“Wait Ojiisan! I want to be a ninja! I cant leave the academy no matter how much I despise it!” Naruto commented , and to this Sandaime just sighed.

“Naruto listen you didn’t let me finish. I’m taking you out of the academy but you will still become a ninja, and a very strong one I believe, but what you will have to do is train yourself so when the time comes you will go back and take the Genin exam and if you pass then, you’re a Genin. Got it?” Sandaime asked to Naruto.

“Wait…so I don’t have to see Iruka-Sensei or any of the class again do I?” Naruto asked clearly shocked but happy none the less.

“No” Sandaime sadly stated, he was very unhappy by the fact that Naruto was so joyous about not seeing his class or teacher anymore.

Naruto exploded to say the least, he ran over and hugged Sandaime very tightly and kept saying, “Thank you so much Ojiisan!” over and over again.

Sandaime smiled sadly, but it was a smile nonetheless, at the way Naruto was acting. Then Sandaime waited until Naruto calmed down to start talking again. “Ok Naruto now this is going to be my gift to you.” At this Naruto looked confused as Sandaime continued. “Ok Naruto the scrolls that you took from me awhile ago once your done with those and only when your done with those I want you to come back and talk to me and also-” Sandaime stopped for a second, and got something from his desk, which was revealed to be weights in the form of wrist band looking things. Naruto got excited at the thought of getting faster. Since Naruto had lost his eye he had started reading lots of books about various ninja things, and that’s how he knew so much about said things.

“Ok Naruto as you can tell these are weights, but not just any weights these are chakra weights.” At this Naruto looked more confused then he previously did. Sandaime chuckled and continued to explain. “When you add Chakra to these weights they get heavier, so you don’t have to add more weights or anything. These are very expensive Naruto, and they are also my gift to you.” Sandaime smiled at Naruto who was in shock at what he had just received. Naruto looked up at Sandaime.

“Ojiisan are you sure you want to give these to me? I mean you could give it to someone else.” At this Sandaime just laughed.

“Naruto there isn’t anyone who I would want to have those more than you! Now take them. As I said they’re a gift from me.” Naruto’s face lit up as he hugged the old man once more, and then went a put the weights around his ankles. Which caused Sandaime to laugh.

“Naruto those are for your wrists you know.” Sandaime stated. At this Naruto just nodded then stood up.

“Yeah I know, but the way I think of it if I put them around my ankles then they will make me faster instead of making my hands faster. Eventually I’m going to get another pair for my wrists but as of right now I think speed in the feet is more important.”

Sandaime didn’t know what to say. Naruto had to be a lot smarter then he looked. The way he handled himself and the way he talked definitely proved that. Now however he was thinking a lot more logically the way Sandaime saw him. In the end however Sandaime just smiled and nodded in agreement with Naruto’s statement.

Naruto began to charge some charka into his weights to feel his legs getting heavier just from the weight added. Which was about twenty five to each leg at the moment. Naruto then began to walk around and started to jump up and down getting used to the weight. After a couple minutes of adjusting Naruto turned to Sandaime and bit his thumb, pulled out a scroll, wiped the blood across it, then caught some scrolls that fell into his hands. Naruto looked through some of the scrolls then took three out and handed them to Sandaime.

“Here you go Ojiisan I already know all of these jutsu so I don’t need these scrolls anymore.” Now to say Sandaime was shocked was an understatement. There was no way Naruto could have possibly learned every single jutsu in each of these scrolls. There was about twenty jutsu in each. It just wasn’t possible.

“Naruto I hate to go against your words, but…how is it possible that you learned all of the jutsus in those scrolls in this short amount of time?” Naruto had a big smile after this question, which shocked the already shocked Sandaime.

“I learn about twenty jutsus a day from the scrolls so I learn about a scroll a day and there was three scrolls and I got the scrolls three days ago…it makes sense.”

“Yes, but how do you learn the jutsu so fast?” Sandaime asked still very confused.

“Kage Bushin no Jutsu” Naruto said simply which made Sandaime’s eyes go wide.

‘There is no possible way Naruto learned the secret of the Kage Bushin no Jutsu already!? That’s just insane!…Naruto you truly are a genius no doubt about it.’

“I see.” Sandaime said in a calm matter which was totally different from his mindscape.

Naruto smiled at Sandaime and then turned and started to leave to do some training of his own when Sandaime put his hand on Naruto’s shoulder.

“…” Naruto had frozen in place, the only thing that could be seen was his shaking. It was very visible, he was shaking very heavily.

“Naru-” Sandaime was cut off by an elbow in his face by none other than Naruto. Sandaime was shocked until he looked at Naruto. Naruto was freaking out he had a kunai out and a bloody spot in his leg from where Sandaime guessed he had stabbed himself to gain his mobility again. Sandaime once again noticed something very shocking to him…Naruto wasn’t even looking at him.

‘Naruto must have been replaying then night he was attacked.’ Sandaime assumed as he saw Naruto fall to the ground holding his hands over his eyes screaming. Sandaime immediately ran over to snap Naruto out of it, but when he got over Naruto slowly sat up. Sandaime looked at Naruto with worry very visible in his face. Naruto just looked at Sandaime and laughed.

“He got me again.” Was all Naruto said as he stood up and jumped out of the window.

Sandaime didn’t know what to do. Naruto went into a frantic mode just by being touched on the shoulder. He had no idea what anything else would do to the young Jinchuuriki. Sandaime decided that whoever ended up being Naruto’s sensei would get a little talk from him about Naruto’s condition.

-Somewhere in Konaha-

Naruto jumped out of the Hokage Tower window and just took off and had no idea where he was going. He hadn’t planned on anything after he left, honestly he hadn’t even planned to jump out the window, it just sort of happened. When Naruto stopped he was in the forest outside of Konaha. So he decided he might as well train.

-A few years later-

For the next couple of years Naruto pretty much lived in the forest surrounding Konaha. The only time he ever left was to get something from a store in Konaha, which was really just Ramen from Ichiraku’s place. The only other exception was when Naruto went to exchange scrolls from the Hokage’s Office. To say Naruto knew a lot of jutsu was an understatement he knew all the basic jutsus of all the elements and he also knew how to do all the training exercises. His weights were up to one hundred each and Sandaime had given Naruto another pair for his birthday last year and those he put around his wrists. All together his gained weight was about 350 pounds. Naruto could walk on water, climb trees with no hands, and could blow chakra out of his chakra pores. The one thing he still needed to learn however was the all so famous Gentle Fist of the Hyuuga. Naruto didn’t rush this however because he had a feeling he would get to see it at some time. Naruto almost always wore either a black or red shirt with black pants along with a kunai holster taped around his leg. He still wore his cloth bandages over his eye, but to Naruto now it was as if his eye was never hurt in the first place. He didn’t even mind everything being outlines now because it didn’t effect him in any way whatsoever. Naruto was currently doing some chin-ups on a think branch of a tree when an Anbu member appeared.

“Are you Naruto Uzumaki?” The Anbu member asked in a bored tone.

“What the hell do you want?” A now ten year old Naruto asked annoyed.

“…The Hokage wishes to see you.” The Anbu responded in an equally annoyed voice.

“Very well.” Naruto simply said, and the Anbu was off.

‘Eighteen….Nineteen….Twenty!” Naruto finished his chin-ups and took off for the Hokage Tower.

-In the Hokage’s Office-

‘I wonder if Naruto will agree to this or not…he’s not one to talk to people that much anymore.’ Sandaime thought to himself until he saw the office door open and Naruto walking in. Smiled at Sandaime then waited for him to speak.

“Hello Naruto. The reason I have called you here, and before you say anything hear me out…the reason I have called you here is because Iruka’s class at the academy is going to be sparring today and I was wondering if you would like to join them…just for today may I remind you.” At this Naruto’s eyes widened and then a smirk made its way to Naruto’s face.

“Sure.” Naruto answered then walked out heading for the Academy.

Sandaime sighed, he hoped this wouldn’t turn out to badly.

Naruto was really excited about being able to fight someone else that wasn’t a clone. He wasn’t going his full speed to get to the academy however he didn’t want to show his full strength to anyone there. As Naruto got closer he started to see the outlines of some people outside of the Academy which excited Naruto further.

-Outside of the Ninja Academy-

Iruka had paired everyone up according to who he thought was closest, strength wise , but there was a bit of a problem. No one could match up with Sasuke. Iruka tried to think of someone, but he couldn’t, and along with that came the inevitable fact that he had an odd number of students in his class so he couldn’t have had pairs without someone being left out anyway. Iruka sighed and then decided he was going to put Sasuke with two other people and have them fight Sasuke, that would be a tad more fair for Sasuke and it would even out the groups.

“Ok Sasuke, I want you to-” Iruka was caught of by a certain blond haired ten year old appearing in a tree nearby. “Spar with Naruto.” Iruka finished off with a smile. Iruka really did want to see how much Naruto had improved. Iruka didn’t think that he would be able to beat Sasuke of course, but he wanted to see if he could at least put up a good fight against the Uchiha.

When Naruto heard who he was going to fight he couldn’t help but smirk. He knew this was going to be very fun for him, not so much for the Uchiha.

Sasuke also got a smirk on his face when he heard who he was going to spar he was thinking along the same lines as Naruto except he saw himself winning this fight without even breaking a sweat, not Naruto. Naruto and Sasuke both walked to the center of the area that the class was sparring in as the class stopped to watch this fight.

Most of the people that saw Naruto had to do a double take on what they saw. Naruto was totally different from before. First off he wore a red t-shirt and black baggy pants, not the black t-shirt and white shorts he had always wore. On top of that he looked like he could easily kill without remorse which scared a lot of kids out of their mind. Naruto had totally changed.

Its not like Sasuke didn’t notice the changes, I mean it was kind of hard to, but they didn’t seem to phase him. Sasuke just kept in mind that he was fighting the ‘dobe’ and that calmed him down dramatically. Now Naruto on the other hand still had a smirk on his face. He was going to enjoy bringing Sasuke down a notch, and knock him up some.

Iruka was looking at Naruto and was stunned at what he saw. Naruto…yes Naruto the prankster hadn’t shown one emotion except for that smirk he still wore since he had got there. Iruka was actually starting to wonder if Naruto might be able to take on the Uchiha just by his appearance, Naruto looked a lot stronger then he used to, and that was no lie of course, but Sasuke didn’t know that and either did anybody else even if they thought it, they still didn’t know it for sure.

Iruka slowly walked out to the center right between Naruto and Sasuke who were both still smirking thinking of how they were going to beat the hell out of the other.

“Go!” Was all Iruka said as he jumped out of the way.

Naruto stepped back and made a hand seal then called out “Kage Bushin no Jutsu!” as five more Naruto’s appeared around the original. Now Iruka was in shock, he just couldn’t comprehend that Naruto could do a forbidden jutsu with such ease. ’How strong are you Naruto?’ was all Iruka could think.

Sasuke was also in shock, but quickly composed himself , then noticed something that shocked him more then anything had before. Naruto was dead serious. He had no emotion shown on his face at all. It actually kind of creeped Sasuke out.

Just as Sasuke was gaining back him composure all of the clones ran at Sasuke with speeds that even shocked Sasuke, and just as Sasuke had seen the clones take off he got hit in the face, hard. Sasuke flew back through the air and landed hard on his back quickly getting up. Sasuke looked over to Naruto who still had no emotion on his face at all, and as Sasuke was looking at Naruto, his clones snuck around Sasuke. Sasuke was still staring when he was snapped out of his trance by hands around his ankles. Sasuke looked down in shock only to be lifted up by a clone that was underground and thrown with a lot of force forward. Sasuke was met with a fist to the face and he tumbled backwards and slowly got up. He looked over at Naruto who hadn’t even broke a sweat while he was breathing heavily.

To say everyone that was watching was stunned was a huge understatement. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Naruto was actually beating Sasuke in a spar.

Not to mention that Naruto was hitting Sasuke and Sasuke hadn’t even touched Naruto. What shocked them all the most thought was that these were just clones that were assaulting Sasuke. Naruto was standing off in the distance, he hadn’t even moved from his spot. Not to mention he hadn’t shown any emotion on his face, at all, the whole time the fight had been going on.

Sasuke charged this time as he hit each of the clones and made then vanish, he then smirked again and ran straight at Naruto. Naruto just stood there like there wasn’t a crazed person running at him. When the time came for Naruto to dodge Sasuke’s fist he did just that. He ducked under his fist and quickly punched Sasuke in the stomach making Sasuke cough a little bit of blood up. He then turned and kicked him in the face with a lot of added force. At this time Iruka came in and stopped the match.

“Ok guys the match is over everyone take a bre-” Iruka was cut off by Sasuke charging at Naruto again. This time he was making hand seals and yelled out a jutsu.

“Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu! (Fire Style - Art of the Phoenix Flower)” Sasuke yelled before releasing a huge stream of fire from inside his mouth. While Sasuke was blowing the fire out of his mouth he thought he saw Naruto’s visible eye go red for a second before it went back to normal. Just as the jutsu was about to hit Naruto, he screamed out.

“Suiton Daibakufu no Jutsu! (Water Type: Explosion Skill)”

The two attacks collided and steam filled the air only to reveal Sasuke panting heavily and Naruto laying on the floor burnt. Iruka and pretty much the rest of the class were in shock at what they saw. There was just no way that after all that Naruto had done to Sasuke that one jutsu could take him down and on top of that Naruto parried it with a Suiton jutsu. It just wasn’t logically possible. Iruka knew for a fact that Sasuke wasn’t that strong when it came to jutsu even if he thought he was. Sasuke started walking back to the rest of the class with a smirk on his face.

“That was too easy.” Sasuke said trying to act as unemotional as he could. Just as Sasuke was about to walk into the group of students he was hit in the face and sent flying towards a tree. When he was about to hit it another Naruto jumped out from behind it and kicked Sasuke in the back. The momentum making the kick a lot worse then it actually was. Once again a Naruto came out of the ground and kicked Sasuke in the back of the head sending him flying forward. Sasuke was slowly but surely losing consciousness. Sasuke looked at the feet walking towards him, then he saw Naruto’s face pop into his view with the same unemotional expression as before. Naruto just looked at him and said.

“Yeah, as if that would stop me. You let your guard down, and it cost you the match. I’m not saying that you would have won if you hadn’t cause I’m positive as of right now you couldn’t even touch me, but you would have at least put up a better fight.”

With that Naruto started to walk away, and Sasuke was getting angrier by the second, until he jumped up and went to punch Naruto in the back. The fist connected, but only for that Naruto to poof away. Sasuke didn’t have a chance to recover as he felt a foot against the side of his face as he flew backwards into a tree. As soon as Sasuke made contact with the tree so did a kunai about an inch away from Sasuke’s head. The last thing Sasuke saw was Naruto standing there with that same stupid unemotional face on, then everything went black on him.

The entire class was dead silent they didn’t know what to say or how to react to what they had just seen. Naruto the dead last of their class, well when he left, had just bested ‘The Great Sasuke Uchiha’ without even breaking a sweat in the process. Someone had to speak up and that person ended up being Kiba.

“What the hell just happened!? How the hell did Naruto just beat the hell out of Sasuke?!” Kiba then turned to Naruto. “Naruto what the hell have you been doing all the time you’ve been gone!?”

“Training” Was all that Naruto said as he walked away.

The whole class just stood there stunned. It’s not like they didn’t believe that Naruto had trained all this time, I mean it was hard not to believe. What was hard to believe however was that Naruto had trained the whole time. Naruto was the type of person to not care at all and complain when something didn’t go his way. Not the type to go out and train non-stop, turn emotionless, then come in and kick the top students ass in a matter of minutes. As Naruto was walking away he smirked to himself about his newly acquired jutsu he just received from the Uchiha.

‘That worked out nicely. I got a new jutsu, and I got to kick Sasuke’s ass.’ Naruto thought to himself smirking the whole time. Naruto decided he might as well just head back to the forest to train some more. There was no way he could get stronger if he was just sitting around his house.

-In the Hokage’s Office-

“So he beat the Uchiha then?” Sandaime asked quite interested.

Iruka nodded, “It was more like ‘destroyed’ though. He was like a totally different person when he fought.”

“Well that could be considered good thing seeing as he was always playing pranks before.” Sandaime said truth in his words.

Iruka once again nodded, “Yes, but I don’t think its good for someone so young to show so little emotion and interact with others very rarely.”

Sandaime sighed and nodded, “Yes your quite right Iruka, but there’s nothing we can do at them moment. He doesn’t trust anyone except myself. Hopefully when he gets put on a team he will become more emotional and not be so cold towards others.

“Yes I hope so.”

-Out in the Forest surrounding Konaha-

Naruto had completely and totally worn himself out of any energy he once had. He was lying on the forest floor panting heavily. Naruto knew that without his weights he was fast, but he also knew he wasn’t fast enough. Naruto knew for a fact that he would come up against people that were a lot faster and stronger then him in the future and he kept that in mind whenever he trained just for motivational purposes.

‘Dammit…I’m still to slow’ Naruto thought to himself as he forced chakra into the weights. Naruto fell to the ground unable to move. His severe exhaustion was affecting him in the worst ways. Naruto decided he would just take a little nap until Kyuubi healed him, then he would go back to training.

‘I don’t think that a little rest will hurt me to much I mean if it does I just wont take anymore breaks and I’ll work extra hard for the next two weeks to make up for my lost time. Naruto was soon snoring with his arms and legs spread out no longer feeling the weight that was actually on them.

-At the Academy-

Iruka had just got back from his meeting with the Hokage and was getting ready to start teaching again when he heard some of his students talking. Iruka decided he would just listen a little to know what everyone was talking about at the moment.

Kiba was talking the loudest with the other students around him, so Iruka thought he would listen to that conversation.

“Yeah, I know that was just plain out crazy! I still cant believe how different Naruto was…I remember when we used to cut out of class together. It’s really weird seeing him like this.” Kiba said sadly thinking of old times.

“Yeah it is kind of sad that Naruto changed so much, but from what I saw he also got a lot smarter to. He used his clones to get some information about Sasuke before he actually attacked him head on. Also the jutsu Sasuke used was either a C or B ranked jutsu, and that means Naruto’s was either B or A easily. That’s really impressive being able to use jutsu that strong at this age.” Shikamaru added to the conversation.

“Yeah I would have to agree with Shikamaru on that one. As of right now Naruto could easily take on any of us, and probably most of the Genins in our village.” Choji commented.

Some of the females were even talking about what happened.

“I still don’t think that was Sasuke-Kun that got beat. I mean there’s no way that Sasuke-Kun could lose to anyone. He’s the best of the best.” Ino stated getting a nod of agreement from all the other fan girls.

“But did you guys see how fast and strong Naruto was? Even if he wasn’t fighting Sasuke-Kun that was still really impressive. I mean I don’t think I could ever become that strong and Naruto did it in only two years. On top of that he did it on his own also.” Sakura said in sort of an adoring tone, which in turn shocked Ino.

Ino was just staring at Sakura until Sakura noticed it, “No! no no no! I don’t mean it that way! I just mean that Naruto is pretty strong.” Sakura nearly screamed defending herself. The rest of the fan girls nodded in agreement.

Iruka figured it was time to cut off all the talking and get back to teaching his class. Iruka noticed however that Sasuke who was usually not paying any attention at all to what Iruka said was following his every word.

‘Sasuke must really want to beat Naruto’ Iruka thought to himself.

“Ok class lets go over some of the vital points of be a Shinobi again!” Iruka said to the class receiving a sigh from said class.

-Out in the Forest surrounding Konaha-

Naruto had just recently awoke from his little nap to find that he couldn’t move his arms or legs. Naruto was struggling like crazy and then remembered the weights. Naruto chuckled a little then released some of the chakra. He was easily able to move around now, but then Naruto decided he would do better with the weight he just took off, so he put it back on causing him to have to pick his legs up with his arms which he didn’t put the charka back into yet.

After a couple of hours Naruto was running around with his new weight. He could even jump a few feet off the ground. Naruto then decided he would add the weight to his wrists again. Naruto focused chakra and in an instant his arms dropped like someone had tied anchors to them, which in truth wasn’t that far from it. After about another two hours Naruto was freely running around and doing pushups and so on again. After about another hour of working out Naruto was dead tired again. It’s not everyday that you gain about 350 pounds to your total weight, which already had 350 extra pounds on it.

Naruto sat down for a good hour and then started to train again. It went on like this for the next couple of years. Naruto would wake up go out train physically, learn some jutsu, work on chakra control, then work with his Kekkei Genkai, Sharingan, and Byakugan.

-Two Years Later-

“So you will be going to the Academy to graduate and become a Genin is that clear?” Someone asked to an unknown source.

“Yes very clear Ojiisan.” Naruto said with a smirk.

“Ok good now go show them what you can do Naruto!” Sandaime said with pride.

Naruto just nodded then jumped out the window and raced towards the Academy. When Naruto arrived at the Academy any trace that Naruto had just been smiling with the Hokage was gone. He was dead serious now, and showed it well. Naruto walked into the academy and could feel all of the eyes on him as he took a seat next to a sleeping Shikamaru. Iruka walked through the door and froze for a second when he saw Naruto but quickly recovered and called out the name on the list.

“Kiba Inuzuka”

At that Kiba smirked then slowly got up and left the room. After about five minutes Kiba came out with a headband tied around his head as he smiled big and walked over and sat by Hinata and Shino. Iruka walked out of the room again with his clipboard in hand and looked at the list then called off a name.

“Ino Yamanaka”

Ino got up and walked over to Iruka and then Iruka turned with Ino and walked into the room. After about another five minutes had passed Ino walked out with a smile on her face and a headband tied around her waist. This routine went on for about another hour until there were just two people left. Naruto looked over at Shikamaru who was still sleeping next to him until he heard the door open and saw Iruka walk out with the clip board once again for the millionth time.

“Shikamaru Nara.” He said calmly as Shikamaru stirred awake from his sleep. He very slowly got up and lazily walked over to Iruka and then into the room. Naruto swore he heard ‘This is so troublesome’ right before the door closed. When the door opened again a short time after Shikamaru came out with a Konaha headband tied around his arm. Right before he walked out he turned to Naruto and said,

“Good luck Naruto, not that you’ll need it at all.” And with that he walked out the door.

Naruto just smiled a bit and waited for Iruka. When Naruto heard the door opening, he got up and walked over to the door to be greeted by Iruka.

“You ready Naruto?” Iruka asked

“…” Naruto didn’t respond he just walked into the room. Iruka sighed and followed.

Naruto walked into the room to see Mizuki and Iruka sitting behind a desk. Naruto vaguely remember Mizuki, but what he did remember is that he helped Iruka with teaching, training, and so on. From what Naruto could remember Mizuki was nice to him, but he figured he just saw him as the Kyuubi like everyone else did. Iruka looked up from his clipboard and started to instruct Naruto on what to do.

“Ok Naruto we’re going to test your Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutsu. First off is Taijutsu.” Iruka stated calmly.

“You have to fight me for 30 seconds Naruto.” Mizuki said as he stood up and walked over to Naruto. Naruto just smirked and took a fighting stance.

‘Its about time I actually get to fight someone worth my time.’ Naruto thought to himself.

Naruto ran at Mizuki which shocked Mizuki cause he had no idea Naruto was as fast as he was. Mizuki ducked under Naruto’s punch only to be hit by Naruto’s other fist. This happened in a matter of ten seconds leaving a total of twenty seconds left. Mizuki recovered quickly from Naruto’s hit and ran at him only to be met by a punch to the stomach. Mizuki hunched over, and was quickly kicked in the fast and sent up into the air. Then out of nowhere he was kicked back down to earth, and with a hard landing it was over.

“Time.” Iruka said shocked that Naruto had just beat the hell out of a Chuunin. He watched as Mizuki slowly got off of the ground and Naruto dismissed the clones he had made in a matter of seconds. Iruka then look up at Naruto again and smiles, which received absolutely nothing from Naruto. He had that same emotionless face on as always.

“Ok Naruto now we’re going to test you in Ninjutsu. I want you to make a clone.” At this Naruto sighed and make one hand seal and said, “Bushin no Jutsu.” Then right after Naruto said that a perfect clone appeared. Iruka nodded in approval still smiling over Naruto’s successes so far.

“Ok Naruto the last part of the test is Genjutsu. We are going to put you in a Genjutsu at some time and you have to tell us when your in it ok?” Naruto just nodded.

Naruto was sitting there looking around in search of anything that was out of place, and just then Iruka’s pencil turned into a snake and fell onto the floor.

“Now” Was all Naruto said as Iruka released the jutsu.

“Very good Naruto you pass! Make sure to come back tomorrow so you can get your team.” Iruka said happily as he gave Naruto his Konaha headband. Naruto tied it around his head, tilted it so it covered his right eye, and walked out of the room still showing no emotion whatsoever.

Naruto walked outside, sure he was happy, but its not like he didn’t expect to make Genin. I mean he could easily beat all the Genin out there right now. He was walking to his apartment when Iruka walked up to him. He could feel his chakra signature.

“What do you want Iruka?” Naruto asked rather harshly.

Iruka got a hurt look on his face before saying. “I just wanted to know if you wanted to go get some ramen with me to celebrate your success in becoming a Genin.”

“Nah I’m good Iruka there’s some thing I got to do at my house.” Naruto said before walking away. Now Iruka was really distraught over all this. Naruto had just turned down his favorite food in Konaha.

Naruto once again started to walk to his apartment the only difference this time was that he actually made it there. Naruto walked inside, took off his sandals, walked over drank some water, then went over and read some scrolls for a couple of hours. Naruto started to get lost in his own thoughts.

‘I wonder who will be on my team. They better be good cause I don’t want to be on a team that sucks.’ Naruto thought to himself not even noticing the darkness engulfing him until he lost consciousness. The morning came fast for Naruto which really wasn’t a problem for him since he was just dying to know who was on his team. Naruto got up quickly and did his normal stuff like shower, get dressed, eat a little something, look over some scrolls, and work out a little. When Naruto was done with all those things he quickly made his way over to the Academy. When the Academy came into view so did all of the people going inside. Naruto saw, Kiba, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Choji, Shino, and Sasuke walking into the Academy as he made his way in also. Naruto walked up the steps and took his seat next to Shikamaru again, who shockingly was awake at the moment. After a few minutes Iruka walked into the Academy, and sat down as he took out a clipboard.

“Ok guys listen up! I’m going to tell you your teams now so listen carefully.”

Iruka began the list with some teams and none of them had any problems except for the Fan girls that were angry they weren’t on Sasuke’s team. Then Iruka called the next team “Ok guys, team Eight will be composed of…Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga.” Iruka looked up and was happy to see that this team didn’t have any problems with who was on it. Then Iruka continued, “Your teams Sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi.” Iruka looked back down at his clipboard and saw the next team and smirked some. “Ok team Seven will be Haruno Sakura,-” Iruka stopped and looked up still with a smirk on his face and continued, “Uzumaki Naruto,-” Iruka was stopped again by a loud noise that came from Naruto’s head hitting the desk. Naruto hated the idea of having a Sasuke fan girl on his team out of all the possible girls, he had to get one that was obsessed with Sasuke. Sakura was just looking at Naruto not knowing how to respond to him being on her team. She would have been angry if he was still the stupid prankster he was before, but now he was dead serious and was really strong, but also at the same time had a hostility towards everyone, which scared her greatly, because of how strong he was. Then Iruka announced the last member of the team. “Uchiha Sasuke.” After he said that there were three different reactions. One was Ino and the rest of the fan girls yelling about how lucky Sakura was, the second was Sakura yelling about how she was with her ‘Sasuke-Kun’, and the third was Naruto screaming.

“Why the hell do I have to be on his team!? How does that even teams out at all!? Sasuke is the best in the class and I kicked his ass which would make us a super team!” Iruka still with a smile on his face looked over at Naruto who was getting yelled at by Sasuke about how ‘He just got lucky, and it would never happen again.’ then to Naruto’s response of ‘Yeah right you loser! I kicked your ass and didn’t even need to use half of my strength! Like you could beat me!’ Iruka spoke up again,

“Naruto your team is possible because since you weren’t in out class your grades were the lowest which means to even out teams we had to pair the lowest with the highest.” At this Sasuke smirked and Naruto just looked at him and said,

“Laugh all you want Sasuke it doesn’t matter what my grades are, I can still kick your ass anytime I want to.” At this comment Sasuke could only glare at Naruto. Iruka just sighed then continued on with the team,

“And your Sensei will be Kakashi Hatake.” Iruka then just continued onto the next team. “Ok Team Ten is going to be Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akamichi, and Shikamaru Nara.-” Iruka was interrupted by another loud thump but this time it was from Ino not Naruto. Iruka just shrugged and continued on.

“Your Sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi.” Iruka finished off the list and then stated to explain some things again.

“Ok guys just stay put for awhile, and wait until your Sensei gets here.”

Everyone just waited for awhile until their Sensei got there to take them someplace. There was a slight problem however. Team Sevens Sensei, Kakashi Hatake, still wasn’t there and it had been almost two hours. By this time Naruto was about ready to kill someone. He had worked out and looked over some scrolls but now he didn’t have anything o do and it was pissing him off. So when the door finally opened and Kakashi stepped in, Kunai were implanted in the wall all around him. Kakashi looked up to see Naruto twirling a kunai while Sasuke and Sakura just stared angrily at him.

“Well my first impression of you is that I hate yo-” Kakashi was cut off by Naruto.

“Don’t worry I hate you to.” Naruto said with a pissed off glare, which shocked Kakashi, but he quickly recovered thinking to himself. Naruto noticed though that Kakashi had a similar style as his own. He wore his Konaha headband tilted across his left eye not his right however.

‘Is Naruto really this cold towards others?’

“Ok well follow me.” Kakashi told then new Genins as he walked away. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all quickly followed behind. When Kakashi stopped and looked at his team again he said,

“Ok now well lets introduce ourselves. You know say your likes and dislikes so on so forth.” He then pointed at Sakura “You go first.”

Sakura nodded then started, “Well I’m Sakura Haruno, I like…well the person I like is..” She glanced at Sasuke and blushed heavily. Then continued, “My goal…well dream is…-” Once again Sakura looked at Sasuke but this time she squealed. Kakashi sighed and then asked, “What do you hate?” Sakura thought for a bit then shrugged. “I don’t really hate anything.” Kakashi nodded then pointed to Naruto “Ok Cat boy go.” Naruto quickly took out a kunai and started to twirl it before throwing it right next to Kakashi‘s head. “Dont call me that.-” Naruto said calmly some hate seeping into his voice however he then went on. “Ok my name is Uzumaki Naruto…I don’t really like anything except for training, the Hokage, and Ramen. I hate…-” Naruto thought for a second. Then said, “I hate everyone and everything with the exception of Ojiisan. I hate people who obsess over people or things, and I also hate people who are late. I don’t really have hobbies except for training, and there is one person that I need to get back for something, but that can wait until the time is right.” Naruto said not stopping any of the hate from showing in his voice. Sakura froze when Naruto said he hated people who obsess over people, because she had a feeling he was talking about her. Kakashi just sighed he knew he was going to have to get Naruto to open up big time because this was the exact opposite way you wanted a Jinchuuriki to go. Kakashi then turned to Sasuke. “Ok you go.” Sasuke just slightly nodded and started, “My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I have a lot of things that I hate, and not many things that I like. Also I have an ambition that I have no intention of leaving as just a dream. The revival of my clan and to kill a certain man.” Kakashi just sighed since he was expecting that. Then Sakura looked at Kakashi, “What about you Sensei?” Kakashi smiled and said, “My name is Hatake Kakashi, I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream…-” Kakashi stopped and looked up at the sky, “And I have a few hobbies.” Kakashi finished with a breath. ‘All we learned was his name’ Naruto thought to himself. Kakashi stood up and started to speak again.

“Ok guys we’re going to go over to training ground Seven so we can do our first mission.”

“What’s our first mission Kakashi-Sensei?” Sakura asked curious.

Kakashi smiled under his mask and replied, “A survival test.”

‘A survival test?’ Naruto thought to himself ‘Why would we have a survival test? We just got out of the academy we should be doing missions now.’

As if reading Naruto’s mind Sakura spoke up, “A survival test? Didn’t we train all throughout the academy? Shouldn’t we be like doing an actual mission instead of training?”

Kakashi sighed “No you guys need to pass this test to become Genin.”

This made Sakura‘s, Sasuke’s, and even Naruto’s eyes go wide from surprise.

“What do you mean ‘to become Genin!?’ We just became Genin that’s why we’re here right now!” Sakura screamed

“Calm down…no you guys took a test to see if you were ready for this test. If you fail this test however you go back to the Academy.”

Naruto was shocked he didn’t know what to say, but luckily for him Sasuke spoke up.

“That’s bull! We graduated from the Academy! We shouldn’t have to go back or take another test!”

Kakashi just laughed. Then shook his head. “You expected that test to be what makes you a ninja? You haven’t even been in a life or death situation yet. How would you become a real ninja without that?” Naruto just sat there. He had decided he was going to become a ninja if it took him killing Kakashi to achieve that.

“Ok” Naruto said out of nowhere getting the attention of Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura. “I’ll kill you if that’s what it takes to become a Genin.” Naruto stated with no emotion in his voice once again. Now Kakashi was really shocked by this, there was absolutely no way Naruto could be lying about this. Naruto was actually going to try to kill Kakashi just to become a ninja. Sasuke couldn’t believe that Naruto could say that with no emotion in his voice at all he was wondering to himself ‘Is Naruto really that cold?’ Sakura on the other hand was terrified of Naruto when he was like this, because she could tell just from his voice that he could kill her without any remorse at all.

“Ok then show me what you mean then.” Kakashi said actually egging Naruto on.

“With pleasure.” Naruto said right back.

Kakashi jumped back and was underneath of a tree now. He then took out two bells and held them up.

“Ok you guys have until sundown to get these bells from me. If you don’t have a bell by the end you fail…any questions?” Kakashi asked.

“Kakashi-Sensei why are there only two bells when there is three of us? Wouldn’t that mean that someone will automatically go back to the Academy?”

Kakashi nodded his head. “This test is to see who deserves to become a Genin and who is still to weak to become one.”

‘That doesn’t make any sense at all…I know for a fact that teams are three man cells along with the sensei. So how could there be a team with only three people total when its required to have four on each team? Unless the real objective isn’t to get the bells its something else.’ Naruto thought to himself and then started to think of reasons why this would come up. ‘The only thing I can think of is to test if we can work as a team and not act alone.’ Naruto smirked to himself.

Kakashi looked over at Naruto and saw his smirk. “What are you smiling about?”

Naruto looked up at Kakashi to see him staring directly at him. “Oh nothing, just thinking of how all three of us are going to pass this test.” Naruto stated calmly a smirk still on his face.

At this Kakashi’s eyes widened. ‘There’s no possible way he could have figured it out before the test even started. Unless…maybe what Hokage-Sama said is true…maybe Naruto is a genius, and he just doesn’t show it.’

At Naruto’s comment Sakura’s eyes went wide. ‘Naruto knows of a way for all of us to win? But how I cant think of anything that would let us all pass…unless Naruto sees another bell that I cant see. That might explain it, I’ll ask him when we start just to be sure.’ Sakura thought to herself.

Sasuke was also shocked by Naruto’s comment. ‘He figured out a way to get us all to pass when only two of us clearly can pass? I hope your right Naruto. I guess I should ask him what his plan is when this stupid thing starts.’ Sasuke also thought to himself.

Kakashi looked at his team all deep in thought then smiled at the idea of snapping them out of their thoughts all at once. Kakashi took a deep breath then at the top of his lungs screamed, “BEGIN!”

Naruto was immediately back to reality and was gone as soon as he realized what was going on. Sakura took a little slower then Naruto but did pretty much the exact same thing. Sasuke now vanished before Kakashi even shouted, he decided he should find a good hiding spot until he could meet up with Naruto.

Kakashi chuckled to himself. “This is going to be fun I can tell.”
