Chapter 6 : Team Placement
Naruto had finished cleaning his parents house. He had discovered the sealed library in the basement that his father had used. The library was massive had many empty rooms with heavily sealed doors which he filled with his clans Jutsu and weapons. One room he filled with the money and gold, and jewels from the Uzu treasury. So now the basement had his fathers library and study, his clans armory, his money vault, and a filled jutsu library. He created shadow a hundred shadow clones and had them read every book and scroll that he did not bring from Uzu, while he sat at his fathers desk.
Naruto pulled the scroll that the Hokage gave him and opened it. Two letters popped out, both addressed to him.
Dear Naruto,
Im so sorry that things turned out this way. I wish I had more time to tell you just how much you mean to me, and how much your father and I love you. I had such hopes for you in life, and I still do now even though Im gone. Please be a good boy, eat well, study hard and meet a fine girl to love. Make sure shes strong and isnt some pathetic fan girl dattebane! Im so sorry that Im not around for you now, I was so happy when I found out I was gonna be a mother and I love you with all my heart. Oh and if that Ero-sennin tries to turn you into a pervert like him, kick in the crotch for me! I know I shouldn't ask much of you, considering I failed to be there, but I always hoped to one day rebuild our once great clan with your father. Maybe one day you can do that for me.
Love, your mother Kushina
Naruto cried and held the letter close to his chest. "I love you mom, I could never hate you. I wish I could have met you, but I know that you love me, and I will make you proud."
After Naruto collected himself he opened the next letter.
Hey Naruto!
Its your dad Minato. I hope you can one day forgive me for the burden Im about to place on you, but please know that I have no other choice. The Kyuubi is upon us and I need to stop it. Im so sorry but I know that one day you will be seen as the hero that you are. Son, grow strong, find love, and be a good man. I know that you can do these things because I and your mother believe in you. I love you son, and my hope is that one day you can do the impossible and get rid of the hate in the shinobi world. One day you may even get rid of the Kyuubis hate. Promise me you will at least do your best.
Love, Your Dad Minato
Again Naruto cried. "Dont worry Dad, I'll do my best, and I will succeed.
After Naruto was done he ventured upstairs, leaving his clones to study. He went up to the second floor and found his parents room. Inside he found his fathers famous coat hanging in the closet. "One day, I will wear you. But Im not ready yet." After he checked around his new bedroom he walked into the room next door. As soon as he stepped foot inside however he fell to his knees. It was a nursery. And on the opposite wall sat a crib.
(Later)
Naruto was standing in the training ground behind his house. It was an expansive meadow surrounded by forest. In the corner was a large koi pond with a massive tree to offer shade, white bench sat along side the pond. Naruto however was in the center of sparring ring going through different katas of his Kenjutsu styles. He could sense Jiraiya walking toward him so he sealed his sword and faced his Godfather. "Whats up Ero-Sennin?" Jiraiya face fell. "DONT CALL ME THAT GAKI! I am the Great Toadsage of Mt. Myobouku! The ladies swoon at the sight of the Gallant Jirayia!" He proceeded to do his kabuki Dance. "No your a shameless pervert, who women tend to beat the shit out of at the very sight of you." Again Jirayia face fell.
"So whats up Ero-Sennin?" This time however Jiriaya grew serious. "Look Naruto, I want to say Im sorry for not being the-" "Save it. Jiraiya I already forgave you. Look you had just lost your student, your surrogate son. I understand, hell I look just like my dad so I know it must have been painful to see me. Im not some brat anymore, I was raised and trained by 3 of the best, and I learned about my heritage, and my family through their and my mothers memories. As awful as it is to say it, I wouldnt be who I am today if it wasnt for what happened to me."
Jiraiya was a bit shocked. He had expected Naruto to hate him, but the boy surprised him with this seriousness and maturity. "Well Gaki, how about I be here for you now?" Naruto smiled. "Id love that Ero... Jiraiya-Sensei" Jiraiya beamed in pride. "So you shocked the hell out of me and everyone else! Kami kid, to think you taught yourself the Rasengan, AND The Hirashin! Your one hell of a prodigy!" Naruto laughed "No Im not, Im no prodigy. It was hard, but again I had 3 great teachers AND all of their knowledge along with my mothers and a few others. I worked hard all day everyday for 6 YEARS. I guess you could say Im a master of hard work, and determination." Jiraiya smiled greatly at that. He knew he liked this kid.
(2 days later)
Naruto was a little nervous. Today was the day of the Genin Exams. He knew he could pass no sweat, hell the Hokage told him he didnt even need to show up he was already a Genin. But Naruto wanted to attend, and take the exams so he could begin to make bonds and friendships with his soon to be fellow genin. He was nervous about how these kids his age react to him.
Naruto opened the door to the classroom and walked inside. All eyes were on him the moment he did so. "Oh you must be Naruto, Im Iruka Umino, and this is Mizuki. Its nice to meet you Naruto." Naruto smiled at the man and shook his hand. "Its a pleasure to meet you too Iruka-Sensei." Iruka smiled, he liked this boy already. He felt horrible when the truth about the boys parentage was revealed. For years he had hated the boy for the deaths of his parents, but after he learned the truth he was greatly ashamed. This boy was innocent, and had a horrible burden placed upon his shoulders, he deserved to be hailed as a hero but sadly he wasnt.
"Naruto would you please introduce yourself to the class?" Iruka asked with a smile. "Sure Sensei. Hi everyone, Im Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. You can call me whatever you like, just plain Naruto is fine. I like training, reading, and ramen. I enjoy Kenjutsu and Fuuinjutsu. My dream is to be the best Hokage this village has ever seen." Naruto rubbed the back of his head and smiled. Then he walked to an empty seat and sat down. He couldn't stand the whispers and the looks he was getting however. All the girls had blushes on their faces and tried not to stare, and some of the boys were looking at him with envy. One boy in particular stared at him questioningly but when Naruto turned to look at him, he went back to brooding in the corner.
Iruka clapped his hands. "Alright everyone, Im gonna hand out your tests now. You have one hour to finish the written exam."
Naruto looked at the test before him. This was way to easy. The moment Iruka told him them to begin he picked up his pencil and in a flash filled out the paper. He put his pencil back and with his usual smile just sit back and pulled out a book to read to pass the time. "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi." His fathers favorite book. His too actually.
(The Hokages Office)
The Jonin were all sitting down watching the genin exams through the Hokages crystal ball. "Kami that kids fast. Hes gonna be a legend just like his old man." Asuma said with a smirk. "Hoho, I dont doubt it Asuma." Hiruzen said with a smile. "So whos team is he gonna be on? I mean the kids no ordinary freakin Genin, he wiped the floor with Kakashi, no offense." Said Anko with obvious mirth in her voice. "None taken Anko, its true. I really want him on my team but there isn't a whole lot I can teach him. Truthfully, Hes beyond my level and skill set. In a year or two he will be deserving of the SS Class like his father. Remember Minato-Sensei only got that ranking because he had the Hirashin, Naruto is 12 and he knows the Hirashin. Not to mention his Obvious skill with Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and the Fuuinjutsu required to recreate the Hirashin. This kid will surpass us all at the current rate hes going."
Hiruzen smiled at that. "Its true, and the kid deserves too. If Im alive to see him reach Jonin, Im going to make him my successor." All the Jonin were surprised, but they understood.
(Back in the classroom)
"Okay class, follow me to the training yard." All of the Genin hopefulls walked outside to the training yard and prepared for the next part of the exam. Naruto waited patiently for his name to be called into the sparring arena. After all of the other kids had their turns it was finally down to Naruto. "Okay next up Naruto vs Sasuke." Naruto nodded and entered the ring. He studied the Uchia across from him who kept his hands in his pockets. "Okay guys take your stances." Sasuke got into his families stance, and Naruto stepped into a loose boxing stance. (He didnt want to KILL the Kid!) "Hajime!" Naruto just stood and studied his opponent.
Sasuke did the same and for the next few minutes neither of them moved. "Come on Dobe! Attack me!" Naruto didnt rise to the goading. He just stood patiently. "Well if your not gonna come at me I will come at you!" Sasuke ran at him with his fist reared back. Naruto just dodged his punch. He continued to dodge and block all of Sasukes attacks which proved to increase the Uchias anger. Finally after a few moments of this Naruto saw and opening and with a chakra infused flick, flicked the Uchia in the forehead, and right out of the ring.
...Silence.... Silence followed for a few seconds until Kiba Inuzuka burst out laughing, along with all the other boys. The girls however were scandalized and rushed to help there precious "Sasukie-Kun" "Uh, alright. Winner Naruto!" Said Iruka with a cough. "DOBE!!!!!" Naruto looked back at Sasuke who was absolutely livid. "FIGHT ME AGAIN!" Naruto turned away. "Later, but for now lets continue on with the exam." replied Naruto. This pushed Sasuke past the boiling point. "DONT YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME!" The young Uchia flew threw handseals before "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Iruka tried to stop it but he was too late. Everyone watched shocked while Naruto, still with his back turned was engulfed in flames. Thats why everyone was equally shocked when after the fire died down, Naruto was perfectly fine. He turned and faced the Uchia and unsealed his Masamune before flash stepping. The class watched wide eyed, instructors included as Naruto appeared standing next to Sasuke with his massive Nodachi pressed against his throat. "Do that again you arrogant piece of shit, and I will not hesitate to remove your head from your body. Look If you want to fight later, thats fine. But when a match is ended, the fight is over. What you just did was cowardly, and stupid. If I had died, or even been injured you would be in jail right now for treason. If you paid attention you would see I already have my headband. You just attacked a Genin of Konoha. I could kill you or arrest you right now but I wont. The only reason Im here today is to make friends with the Genin I will serving with. That invitation still extends to you. Now, if you try this shit again, I will end you. Got it? Good." With that Naruto calmly sealed his Nodachi and walked away. The entire class heard his speech, and they were a little terrified. This Naruto, was not someone to screw with. "I think hes learned his lesson Iruka Sensei. Can we continue on now please?"
Iruka just nodded dumbly.
(Back in the Hokages Office)
The Jonin were not impressed with the Uchia. Many of them were scowling, but Anko Mitarashi was laughing her ass off. "Did you see the look on his face!? I think he was about to shit his pants! I got to hand it to that Gaki Naruto, even I would have been intimidated by that speech." The Jonin nodded in agreement. "Hey, the kids right though, Sasuke just committed treason. If Naruto wanted to he could have killed him, and been within rights to do so."
Hiruzen sighed. "That maybe but the paperwork, not to mention the backlash from the civilian council would have put me in an early grave." There were a few snickers at that.
(Back at the Training Field)
"Now everyone, when I call your name please come over here while I grade your throwing abilities." Once again Naruto waited until it was his turn. When he was called up he calmly strolled up and in flash of blue flames his hands were filled with kunai and shuriken. He threw them all at once and they all hit there mark perfectly. "Great job Naruto! So far you've gotten the top scores!" Iruka said with a smile. "Haha, thanks Iruka-Sensei." Said Naruto while sheepishly grinning and rubbing the back of his head. 'Hes so humble.' Thought Iruka. "Okay class lets go back inside and we will do the final exam."
After everyone was once again seated Naruto waited until it was his turn. Once his name was called, he stood in front of the class and the instructors. "Okay Naruto, I need you to perform the Kawarimi." Naruto kawarimied with a stunned Iruka, and then re kawarimied so he was back in his original place. "Excellent Naruto. Now I need you to Henge." Naruto nodded and Henged into his father. The class looked in shock as there in front of them stood Minato Namikaze. Naruto dispelled the henge and again rubbed the back of his head. "Haha, sorry couldn't resist." Iruka smiled "Thats fine Naruto. Now I need you to do a clone." "Umm, sensei, can it be any clone?" Naruto asked. "I guess so Naruto why do you ask?" Iruka asked with confusion on his face. "Well you see sensei, I have to much chakra to do the normal clone, they end up looking sick and dead. I can do the shadow clone though." Irukas eyes widened. "Um okay Naruto, go ahead." "Thanks sensei. Shadow clone jutsu." 50 clones appeared in the room, some hanging from the ceiling upside down.
(Later)
"Okay class, I have your scores. Sasuke Uchia, you are the new rookie of the year! Sakura Haruno you are the new Kunoichi of the year. Naruto, umm since this is your first day of the academy, even though you the best scores for the examination, you are unfortunately this years Dead Last." Naruto laughed "Its okay sensei, Jiji explained that to me earlier. Look I became a Genin a few days ago. I only attended today to get to know who I would be working with in the future, and Im happy I came. Titles like Rookie of the Year, and Deadlast mean nothing to me. Heck they mean nothing in the shinobi world anyway." 'Hes so mature.' Thought Iruka, and all of the Jonin watching. "Your right Naruto." Said Iruka. "Okay class is dismissed, be here tomorrow for team placement."
As everyone stood up to leave Naruto spoke. "Uh, hey does anyone wanna go get something to eat? Im buying." Several students stopped looked back at him. Choji spoke up "Sure sounds great! How bout it Shikamaru?" "Sounds alright." said the lazy Shikamaru with a shrug. "Im in." said Kiba. "A-arigato N-Naruto-Kun." Stuttered the shy Hinata. Shino merely nodded his head yes. Sasuke just kept walking "Hmph." Sakura the fangirl that she was just followed after Sasuke. Ino looked at the cute mysterious blonde and blushed. "Sounds like fun." Naruto Smiled wide. "Great lets go."
(Ichirakus)
"Hey Jiji, one large Miso Ramen for me, and whatever my new friends want on me." The old ramen chef smiled. "You got it kid!" Ayame smiled as well. "So you made friends Naruto-Kun?"
"Sure did Nee-chan. Meet Konohas newest genins. This is Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino." They all waved. "Well any friend of Naruto-kuns is a friend of mine. So what can I get you." After everyone had ordered and began eating it was Kiba that spoke up. "So Naruto, my mom told me you kicked a Jonins butt last week! Is that true?" Everyone looked at him obviously hearing about it as well. "Haha, umm yeah it is." Naruto responded while rubbing the back of his head. "Well I wouldn't say you kicked my butt, Otouto." Kakashi said as he sat next to his surrogate little brother. "Nii-san! So come to celebrate with me." Kakashi eye smiled. "You did very well today Otouto. I was proud of the way you handled certain situation. I know your father would be as well." Naruto smiled and looked down at his feet. "I hope so Nii-san I really do." Kakashi ruffled Narutos hair and ordered some ramen for himself. Naruto introduced his new friends to Kakashi. He explained that Kakashi was his Fathers student, and in his eyes that made him his Nii-san.
After a good few hours of eating and laughing and telling stories, Naruto paid for everyones food and said goodnight. His new friends thanked him and he told them all he would see them tomorrow. As Naruto was walking back through the village he saw something strange. Mizuki was climbing out of a window with a large scroll strapped along his back. Something was wrong with this picture, so Naruto made a clone to go back and find Kakashi, while he followed Mizuki into the forest.
Naruto lost track of time as he tailed in Mizuki from the shadows. He came to a halt as Mizuki stopped running and leaned the scroll against an abandoned shack. Naruto took this time to quietly send shadow clones to set up a perimeter. Naruto took this time to act. He sent his chakra chains out to retrieve the scroll and once he had it secure he sealed it with in his body. "What are you doing out here with the Forbidden Scroll Mizuki?"
(The Hokages Office)
Kakashi and the Hokage the watched as Iruka showed up and demanded to know why Mizuki stole the scroll, he then fought with Mizuki and tried to impale him with a Fuuma Shuriken but Naruto intervened and beat the ever living shit out of him.
(The Forest)
Naruto slung Mizuki over his shoulder and unsealed the Scroll. It fell to the ground and he caught a glimpse of "Exploding Shadow Clone Jutsu." 'That will come in handy.' Naruto thought as he memorized the hand seals. He and Iruka walked back to Konoha together. "Thanks for saving me from that Shuriken Naruto." "No problem Iruka-Sensei, you would have done the same for me."
Naruto had finished cleaning his parents house. He had discovered the sealed library in the basement that his father had used. The library was massive had many empty rooms with heavily sealed doors which he filled with his clans Jutsu and weapons. One room he filled with the money and gold, and jewels from the Uzu treasury. So now the basement had his fathers library and study, his clans armory, his money vault, and a filled jutsu library. He created shadow a hundred shadow clones and had them read every book and scroll that he did not bring from Uzu, while he sat at his fathers desk.
Naruto pulled the scroll that the Hokage gave him and opened it. Two letters popped out, both addressed to him.

(Later)
Naruto was standing in the training ground behind his house. It was an expansive meadow surrounded by forest. In the corner was a large koi pond with a massive tree to offer shade, white bench sat along side the pond. Naruto however was in the center of sparring ring going through different katas of his Kenjutsu styles. He could sense Jiraiya walking toward him so he sealed his sword and faced his Godfather. "Whats up Ero-Sennin?" Jiraiya face fell. "DONT CALL ME THAT GAKI! I am the Great Toadsage of Mt. Myobouku! The ladies swoon at the sight of the Gallant Jirayia!" He proceeded to do his kabuki Dance. "No your a shameless pervert, who women tend to beat the shit out of at the very sight of you." Again Jirayia face fell.
"So whats up Ero-Sennin?" This time however Jiriaya grew serious. "Look Naruto, I want to say Im sorry for not being the-" "Save it. Jiraiya I already forgave you.

If Naruto wanted to he could have killed him, and been within rights to do so."
Hiruzen sighed. "That maybe but the paperwork, not to mention the backlash from the civilian council would have put me in an early grave." There were a few snickers at that.
(Back at the Training Field)
"Now everyone, when I call your name please come over here while I grade your throwing abilities." Once again Naruto waited until it was his turn. When he was called up he calmly strolled up and in flash of blue flames his hands were filled with kunai and shuriken. He threw them all at once and they all hit there mark perfectly. "Great job Naruto! So far you've gotten the top scores!" Iruka said with a smile. "Haha, thanks Iruka-Sensei." Said Naruto while sheepishly grinning and rubbing the back of his head. 'Hes so humble.' Thought Iruka. "Okay class lets go back inside and we will do the final exam."

"Okay class, I have your scores. Sasuke Uchia, you are the new rookie of the year! Sakura Haruno you are the new Kunoichi of the year. Naruto, umm since this is your first day of the academy, even though you the best scores for the examination, you are unfortunately this years Dead Last." Naruto laughed "Its okay sensei, Jiji explained that to me earlier. Look I became a Genin a few days ago. I only attended today to get to know who I would be working with in the future, and Im happy I came. Titles like Rookie of the Year, and Deadlast mean nothing to me.

"Okay class is dismissed, be here tomorrow for team placement."
As everyone stood up to leave Naruto spoke. "Uh, hey does anyone wanna go get something to eat? Im buying." Several students stopped looked back at him. Choji spoke up "Sure sounds great! How bout it Shikamaru?" "Sounds alright." said the lazy Shikamaru with a shrug. "Im in." said Kiba. "A-arigato N-Naruto-Kun." Stuttered the shy Hinata. Shino merely nodded his head yes. Sasuke just kept walking "Hmph." Sakura the fangirl that she was just followed after Sasuke. Ino looked at the cute mysterious blonde and blushed. "Sounds like fun." Naruto Smiled wide. "Great lets go."

"Hey Jiji, one large Miso Ramen for me, and whatever my new friends want on me." The old ramen chef smiled. "You got it kid!" Ayame smiled as well. "So you made friends Naruto-Kun?"
"Sure did Nee-chan. Meet Konohas newest genins. This is Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino." They all waved. "Well any friend of Naruto-kuns is a friend of mine. So what can I get you." After everyone had ordered and began eating it was Kiba that spoke up. "So Naruto, my mom told me you kicked a Jonins butt last week! Is that true?" Everyone looked at him obviously hearing about it as well. "Haha, umm yeah it is." Naruto responded while rubbing the back of his head. "Well I wouldn't say you kicked my butt, Otouto." Kakashi said as he sat next to his surrogate little brother. "Nii-san! So come to celebrate with me." Kakashi eye smiled. "You did very well today Otouto. I was proud of the way you handled certain situation. I know your father would be as well." Naruto smiled and looked down at his feet. "I hope so Nii-san I really do." Kakashi ruffled Narutos hair and ordered some ramen for himself. Naruto introduced his new friends to Kakashi. He explained that Kakashi was his Fathers student, and in his eyes that made him his Nii-san.
After a good few hours of eating and laughing and telling stories, Naruto paid for everyones food and said goodnight. His new friends thanked him and he told them all he would see them tomorrow. As Naruto was walking back through the village he saw something strange. Mizuki was climbing out of a window with a large scroll strapped along his back. Something was wrong with this picture, so Naruto made a clone to go back and find Kakashi, while he followed Mizuki into the forest.
Naruto lost track of time as he tailed in Mizuki from the shadows. He came to a halt as Mizuki stopped running and leaned the scroll against an abandoned shack. Naruto took this time to quietly send shadow clones to set up a perimeter. Naruto took this time to act. He sent his chakra chains out to retrieve the scroll and once he had it secure he sealed it with in his body. "What are you doing out here with the Forbidden Scroll Mizuki?"
(The Hokages Office)
Kakashi and the Hokage the watched as Iruka showed up and demanded to know why Mizuki stole the scroll, he then fought with Mizuki and tried to impale him with a Fuuma Shuriken but Naruto intervened and beat the ever living shit out of him.
(The Forest)
Naruto slung Mizuki over his shoulder and unsealed the Scroll. It fell to the ground and he caught a glimpse of "Exploding Shadow Clone Jutsu." 'That will come in handy.' Naruto thought as he memorized the hand seals. He and Iruka walked back to Konoha together. "Thanks for saving me from that Shuriken Naruto." "No problem Iruka-Sensei, you would have done the same for me."
