Shiina Namikaze
Member
Naruto Namikaze awoke abruptly with the rising of the sun as he did every morning, but this particular morning was special. Today was the day when almost a decade of training would finally pay off and he would be entered into the ranks of the Konoha shinobi, and only one thing stood in his way, the gennin exam.
He had no doubt that he would pass, as his grandfather had said, he could have passed it at 8. The only way he wouldn't graduate would be if one of the chuunin doing the testing tried to screw him over, and he was more than capable of taking care of that particular situation, in fact, a small part of him was hoping that they would try so he could test himself against a Konoha chuunin, since he'd only ever fought bandits or sparred with his sannin sensei, he wasn't really sure of what he could do when he became serious.
Reeling in his maniacal laughter, the teen rushed through his morning routines before running off to his training ground to warm up, the academy didn't open for three hours after all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The time had finally come and Naruto was standing in front of the door that would take him into the classroom that would change his life forever. To his surprise, the blonde was actually nervous, well, as nervous as someone with supreme confidence in their abilities can be. Taking a deep, calming breath he tentatively reached out and grasped the handle, before being violently thrown to the side.
"Get out of the way jackass!" a pair of screeching voices exclaimed as he shook his head and stood up to find the two loud girls from a few days prior trying to muscle each other out of the way so that they could enter the room first.
'And that's why I picked Hina-chan.' He thought, dusting off his clothes before leaping over the squabbling banshees and entering the classroom.
He looked up when he heard a small gasp from in the room and found a room full of children his age looking at him, except for Hinata, who appeared to be desperately looking anywhere else and fighting down a bright blush.
'Like a beacon guiding me home.' He thought with a light chuckle as he moved to sit next to the bright pink girl.
"Morning Hina-hime." He greeted as he reached her side and tenderly kissed her hand. Getting a chorus of gasps and sighs from the other students.
"M-morning N-Naru-kun." She stuttered softly.
He smiled warmly at her as he crouched down to her level. "I thought we were passed this Hime. You know you don't have to be nervous around me, I like you as you are, so there is no need to hide who you are." He proclaimed gently, still holding her hand, ignoring the dreamy smiles and sighs that were being directed at him by the majority of the girls in the room…and some of the boys.
The blue haired girl gave a small nod and gave him a sweet smile. "Arigato Naru-kun. Would you like to sit down?" she asked, shocking everyone else since they had never heard her speak without stuttering.
His smile grew as he nodded and took the seat next to her, still holding onto her hand.
"What the hell? Who are you? And how do you know Hinata-chan?" a boy Naruto recognised as Kiba Inuzuka hollered, slamming his hands down on the desk and glaring at the blonde.
"My name is Naruto, I believe we met a few days ago in the park, Kiba. As for how I know Hina-hime, well, I'm her boyfriend." He explained, getting gasps from everyone, including the Hyuuga heiress. "That is, if you would like that, Hime?" he asked gently, getting a happy nod from the lightly blushing girl.
"But aren't you like 18? What are you doing going out with a 12 year old? Are you some kind of sicko?" Kiba yelled, obviously upset by the revelation.
'He must have a thing for her.' Naruto realised before sighing. "I may look older, but I'm actually only 12 like everyone else here." He explained, getting disbelieving gasps from people around the room.
"Yeah right! You're probably just some fuc-" Kiba's taunt fell silent as Naruto leveled a fierce glare on him, supported by more than a little focused killer intent.
"You would do well to remember there are ladies present, Inuzuka. Now I have answered your questions and I think it's time for you to leave us alone." The blonde stated in calm, flat tone that sent shivers up the feral boy's spine.
Kiba only nodded dumbly before staggering back to his chair and slumping down, as the entire class stared in awe at what had just happened.
'That new guy comes in and silences Kiba, of all people, with just a look and that creepy voice. That kid is something else.' Thought the majority of the class, though some were more inclined towards jealous brooding or fangirl hysteria.
"Sorry about that Hime, I just can't stand people acting like that in front of someone as angelic as you. It's just not right."
Hinata's reply was cut off as two chuunin entered the room, one with black hair and a large scar across his nose and the other with silvery blue hair and pristine skin. 'Well, we know which one has the real world experience.' Naruto observed as the men took up positions at the front of the room, silencing the class, who had mostly been chattering about the mysterious new blonde that had arrived today.
"Good morning class. As you may have noticed, we have a new student who will be joining us for the exam today."
"How come he didn't have to attend the rest of the classes like the rest of us?" Kiba yelled, apparently having recovered from the earlier altercation.
"He was away from the village where he received private tutoring from a shinobi. He only returned two days ago and has backing from the Sandaime himself to take the exam. Does that answer your question, Kiba?" the scarred chuunin asked, clearly not happy with the interruption.
"Anyway, now that has been taken care of, we can start the exam. The first section will be a 20 question paper test. You have 1 hour which starts as soon as you get your paper. There will be no talking or cheating." The other chuunin declared gruffly, sneaking several momentary glares at Naruto, a fact which the blonde did not miss, and had to fight back a smile at.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The majority of the test, after Naruto removed the genjutsu on it, was composed of simple ninja theory and Konoha history questions, and the blonde had no trouble finishing within half an hour of the exam's start. Deciding to have some fun during his spare time, the mischievous 12 year old spent the remaining time in an unrelenting glare on the silver haired chuunin, slowly increasing his killer intent with every minute that passed. By the end of the test the chuunin was sweating profusely and noticeably trembling, though no one but Naruto and a few select others knew why. Naruto had to hold back from laughing when the man visibly flinched when he took his collected his test and saw there was no genjutsu on it.
Leaving a Kage Bunshin to mark the exams, the scarred chuunin then took them all outside for the practical portions of the exam.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The next test will be a simple taijutsu spar against either Mizuki or myself. To pass, all you need to do is land a solid hit or last the entire five minute duration. First up, Shino Aburame vs Mizuki."
The test passed slowly for Naruto as all of the students displayed, to him, pathetic "skills". That is except for a few, like the Uchiha and Inuzuka, both of whom landed hits quite quickly, and Hinata, who, after some encouragement from her boyfriend, managed to land a solid hit after only a minute.
After what seemed like an eternity, the scarred chuunin announced his name, getting shocked gasps from those who recognised his surname, and confused looks from those who didn't.
"Wait, Namikaze? As in the Yondaime?" Shikamaru asked, leaving everyone who hadn't figured it out to also gasp in shock, except those that were too caught up brooding or in fangirl hysteria.
"Yeah, he was my Tou-san." Naruto explained as he stepped into the ring, delighted to see that he had drawn the visible frightened Mizuki as his opponent.
Ignoring the surprised murmurs running through the crowd, the scarred chuunin called a start to the match.
Mizuki seemed to finally become overwhelmed by his fear as he charged the tall blonde, swinging wildly and drawing horrified gasps from the students and his partner as he was obviously not holding back.
The other chuunin was about to step in, when Naruto effortlessly ducked under a wild right hook and landed a brutal punch to the white haired man's stomach, dropping him to his knees where he vomited a lot of blood before passing out.
For quite a while everyone stared at the mysterious and apparently powerful blonde, some in awe, some in jealousy, some in fangirl hysteria and one in what was quickly blossoming into love.
"Uh, ok Naruto, I guess you pass. Shikamaru, it's your turn as soon as someone drags Mizuki out of the ring."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the matches were uninspiring with the clan children passing, except for Ino and Sakura, both of whom were completely useless.
Next they moved over to a targeting range where they had to hit a bull's-eye with kunai and shuriken at various distances. Naruto and the Uchiha scored the highest, both getting perfect scores, with Hinata coming third, thanks, once again, to some encouragement from Naruto.
After this, they went to an open field where they were to hold the ninjutsu portion of the exam.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, to pass this portion, you need to perform the three academy jutsu to an acceptable standard. That is, a reasonable henge, a practical kawarimi and creating at least three clones. You will be awarded extra points for any other jutsu that you can use."
This test was considerably more interesting as almost all of the clan children demonstrated at least one of their family jutsu. Then it came time for Naruto's turn.
He performed a flawless henge of the Sandaime Hokage, used kawarimi to switch with the startled Uchiha and used his Kage Bunshin to create 2 dozen clones.
"Very good Naruto. Are there any other techniques that you can show us?" the scarred chuunin asked, almost excitedly.
The 25 Naruto's grinned and at once they all began using different techniques. Some used basic elemental jutsu, such as Doton: Doryuheki, Futon: Daitoppa and Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu. Others used supplementary techniques like Kakuremino no Jutsu and Shunshin no Jutsu. But the one that everyone seemed to be looking at was the original, who created a swirling ball of pure chakra in his palm.
"R-Rasengan." the chuunin muttered, staring at the orb in disbelief.
"Holy shit, he really is the Yondaime's son!" Kiba exclaimed, recognising the technique from their studies in history class.
Finally regaining his composure, the chuunin looked towards the grinning blonde. "Very impressive Naruto. Is there anything else?"
Naruto's grin grew even larger. "Well, there are some others, but they're too destructive to be used with in this sort of situation. There is this though, Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" he yelled, after biting his thumb and performing some hand signs, resulting in an enormous explosion of smoke.
The smoke cleared to reveal a gigantic red toad wearing a blue vest and smoking a pipe. "Naruto? Why have you summoned me here?" the toad asked as he looked around at the familiar location.
"Hey Bunta. I'm doing the gennin exam and they wanted to see what ninjutsu I can do." The blonde explained after leaping up and standing on the amphibian's snout.
The chief toad chuckled at the boy's foxy grin. "So you're showing off again huh? Sometimes you're too much like that cocky father of yours."
Naruto shrugged. "Genetics, what're you gonna do?"
Gamabunta let out another rumbling laugh. "Well if that's all, I'm gonna be going. The wife gets cranky when I stay too long on social calls. See you later kid." The toad proclaimed before vanishing in another huge plume of smoke.
"W-was that the Gamabunta?" the chuunin asked as Naruto landed from falling when the toad left.
"Of course. So what do you say Iruka-san, do I pass?" the blonde asked with a smirk.
The chuunin's response was cut off when another puff of smoke appeared, revealing the Hokage, Jiraiya and several anbu.
"What happened? Why did you summon Gamabunta?" the Sandaime asked frantically, getting a sheepish expression from the whiskered blonde.
"I told you it was nothing sensei. The gaki was just showing off again, I swear you're too-"
"Too much like my Tou-san, I know, Bunta said the same thing." Naruto interrupted, getting a smack on the back of his head from the white haired sannin.
"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama?" Iruka questioned, still somewhat overwhelmed by what had happened today.
"Oh, sorry for interrupting Iruka-san. We thought something had happened when we saw that Naruto-kun had summoned Gamabunta." Sarutobi explained.
"It's no trouble Hokage-sama, it's always an honour to have you here." Iruka proclaimed with a low bow.
"Well then, I think we shall be going, good luck young ones, do your best." The Hokage said as he and the other new arrivals all left as they had come.
"Okay, I think that's it for the ninjutsu section. I'm going to collate the scores and see who has passed. Please meet back in the classroom in an hour. Till then, you're dismissed." Iruka announced as he walked back towards the academy building, paying no mind to his assistant who was still unconscious at the taijutsu test area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto and Hinata, having run off to avoid the torrent of questions that were bound to arise from the rest of the students, found themselves walking through the business district of the village, looking for somewhere to eat lunch. The blonde felt a twinge of guilt build within him as they walked past Ichiraku's and his thoughts turned to the other young woman he had begun dating.
Taking a deep breath and turning to the brightly smiling girl next to him, he prepared himself for a tough conversation. "Hina-chan. Will you please come with me, there is something that I need to tell you." He said seriously, getting a nod from the girl, whose smile had slipped at his ominous tone.
He gently took her hand and led her towards the ramen stand, stopping just before they entered. "Hina-chan. Whatever happens in here, I want you to know that everything that I have said I feel for you is true, and I hope that you will listen to my full explanation before you make any decisions regarding our future." Hinata nodded, her worry and concern only growing as his speech went on.
Finally, Naruto took another deep breath and they entered the store.
Ayame smiled brightly when she saw who had walked in, but the smile quickly disappeared when she noticed that he was holding hands with another woman.
"Aya-chan, could you please come with us for a moment? There is something that we need to talk about." Naruto said seriously, hating the looks of betrayal that were written across the faces of both women he had come to care greatly about.
Ayame, swallowing her rage and hurt temporarily gave a nod and decided to let the man she was falling in love with explain himself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes of terribly awkward silence later and the three young people stopped at a bench in a beautiful park. Naruto motioned for the girls to sit and they did, both giving wary glances to each other, before looking back at the obviously nervous blonde before them.
"Before I start, I just want to say that absolutely everything I have told both of you was completely true, about my past and my feelings towards you. However I have omitted some details. As Hina-chan heard today, I am the son of the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze." Naruto paused to let the shocked Ayame digest that information. "As you know, my father died after his defeating the Kyuubi no Kitsune. What very few people know, is that he did not kill the demon, he couldn't. Instead, he did the next best thing, he sealed it away, preventing it from ever getting loose again. The catch was, that the Kyuubi was far too powerful to be sealed into an object as is usually done, the only thing that could possible contain the beasts tremendous power, was a newborn baby...me. Since I was barely an hour old I have had the most powerful demon the world has ever known sealed within me." Both girls had a variety of expressions running across their faces, ranging from terror to concern to sadness to love. Naruto let them sort through his revelation for a few moments before he continued. "I promise you that I am who I am, and the fox is completely dormant, it has never and will never, get control of me, my father's seal ensures that much and when I die, the fox will die with me. It was because of this that I had to leave with my godfather Jiraiya shortly after the sealing, because the village council demanded that I be put to death to ensure the fox could never escape. It was only because of the interference of Jiraiya and the Sandaime that I am still alive today." The girls' expressions now held only anger, sadness and love, though Hinata's was showing considerably more anger than Ayame's. 'Must be because her father is on the council.' He thought. Before he continued again. "When we finally returned a few days ago it was revealed that the council has finally acknowledged me as the heir to the Namikaze clan, that was automatically created when Tou-san became the Yondaime, just as it was with the Senju and Sarutobi clans for the previous Hokage's. There is a catch though. Since I am the only living member of the clan, I have been placed under the Clan Restoration Act." Hinata gasped loudly as she realised what that meant and looked at the girl next to her, who just seemed confused.
"That means that you can marry more than one woman, right?" the Hyuuga asked, getting a gasp from Ayame, and a slight shake of the head from Naruto.
"Not quite. It means that I have to marry more than one woman, at least four to be exact."
"Does...does that mean that you don't really like one of us? That you're just using us to fill up your quota?" Ayame asked, her tone lost between betrayed and outraged.
"That's not it at all!" Naruto yelled firmly, startling both girls.
"I'm sorry. But like I said before, everything I told you is the truth. I care for both of you deeply, and had arranged dates with both of you before I even knew about the stupid law. I would never, and will never be involved with someone that I don't care about. Which is why I hate the clause the council put in so much." He stated firmly.
"What clause?" Hinata asked quietly, trying to decide how she felt about the situation.
Naruto sighed and suddenly looked very weary. "I have to marry at least four women by my 14th birthday, or the village council will select my wives and force me to marry them, regardless of how either party feels about it."
The blonde took another deep breath and sat between the women, grasping their hands in his. "I want both of you to think seriously about this. Whilst I do care deeply for you, I cannot ask you to be a part of a situation that you would not feel comfortable in. I am, by no means asking you to marry me right now as it is obviously far too early for such a decision. All I want you to do is decide if you are willing to give our relationship a chance and see where it goes." He then gave each girl's hand a reassuring squeeze before getting up and beginning to walk away.
When he had finally disappeared into the distance, the two girls looked at each other.
"I guess we have a lot to talk about." Ayame said, getting a nod from the younger female.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the hour break was up the classroom was filled with excited chattering from the potential gennin, with three notable exceptions. Sasuke Uchiha, who was brooding as always, Naruto Namikaze, who appeared significantly more reserved than he had been earlier, almost to the point that he seemed depressed and Hinata Hyuuga, who wasn't present.
After waiting for the girl for a few minutes, Iruka decided to begin anyway, but before he could start, the door to the room was abruptly opened and Hinata walked in, accompanied by a girl that only two or three of the class recognised. The girls paid the angry teacher no heed as they marched up to Naruto, grabbed an arm each and dragged him from the room, closing the door behind them as they left.
" Okay...um, will somebody tell Hinata or Naruto if they see them later that they both passed and need to come here tomorrow at 8 for team placements?"
"Don't worry, I've got it." Announced a voice that turned out to be Naruto as he walked back through the doorway.
"What was that about Naruto? And where is Hinata?" Iruka asked, not happy with the disruptions to the class.
"She and Ayame, the other girl, are having a private talk with the original. I'm just here to make sure they don't miss anything important." "Naruto" announced before taking his seat.
"So you're a Kage Bunshin?" Iruka asked, getting a nod from the blonde.
"Whatever. Okay, the following people have passed: Shino Aburame..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl's finally came to a stop at a bench on one of the currently empty academy training grounds.
"Sit." Ayame ordered sternly, getting a nod from Naruto as he did so. Before he could speak, Hinata raised a hand asking for silence.
"Please just listen for now Naruto-kun. We have some things we need to say." The pale eyed girl stated, getting another nod from the blonde. "We have been talking about everything that you told us and we have come to a decision." She explained flatly.
"We have decided that we both wish to pursue a relationship with you, and are willing to share with each other and others if necessary, if," Ayame stated firmly, cutting off the boy's premature celebration. "If, you agree to certain conditions." She finished.
"Okay, what are they?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Firstly, you are not to give preferential treatment to either of us or any of the other women that may join in the future. We are all to be treated equally in everything."
Naruto nodded. "Of course, that's only fair."
"Second, everyone must agree before you start a relationship with a new woman. If this is going to work, we need to be a family, that means everyone gets a say in the decisions." Hinata added, her tone far more confident and firm than usual, making Naruto smile that the shy girl was coming out of her shell more and more.
"Okay, anything else?" seeing the girls shake their heads, Naruto gave a bright smile and pulled them both into a warm embrace. "Thank you both so much for this. If it comes to it, I will gladly spend the rest of my life trying to make up for the kindness you angels have done me today." He declared before kissing each of them tenderly on the lips.
"How about we all go grab some lunch to celebrate, my treat?" Naruto asked, linking arms with one of his women on each side.
Suddenly Hinata squealed and buried her head in Naruto's shoulder, drawing strange looks from the other two.
"What's the matter Hina-chan?" the blonde asked as he tilted the girl's head upwards so she looked at him.
"We just pulled you out of the class in front of everyone and we totally ignored Iruka-sensei! He's going to be so mad and what if we missed some big anoun-"
Naruto silenced the hysterical girl with a finger on her plump lips. "Relax Hina-chan, I created a Kage Bunshin as you guys were dragging me off. He explained the situation and when he dispels, I'll know everything that happened during the class, so we won't miss anything. Okay?" Hinata nodded and pulled slightly away from him so they could keep walking whilst she maintained her grip on his arm, with Ayame copying her action on the other side, they set off to eat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three teens spent the rest of the afternoon together and Naruto was delighted to find that the girl's got along like old friends, relieving one of his concerns regarding the unconventional relationship. At the end of the day he created a Kage Bunshin and walked both women home, giving them both loving goodnight kisses, though they were both more involved this time, as they had been expecting it.
He then went home to his father's compound, which he and Jiraiya had finally managed to clean to liveable standards. It was, by no means, as large as the Hyuuga or Uchiha complexes, more like a single, large house surrounded by nice grounds and even a small lake. Naruto couldn't have been happier with his home, as it had been just as he imagined whilst spending his entire life on the road, a stable, safe location with plenty of room for him to start his new family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Naruto surprised Hinata by picking her up from the Hyuuga compound and walking her to the academy. Needless to say they caused a bit of a stir when they entered the classroom holding hands and smiling brightly. They looked up to find everyone staring at them with a variety of reactions from shock to indifference, but there was a surprising amount of jealous glares aimed at both of them, though most were at Hinata, for taking the man who had been dubbed the new hottest member of their class, a fact that thoroughly pissed off a certain Uchiha, though he would never admit it.
"Uh...hey?" Naruto said, instantly causing the room to erupt in a frenzy of shrill cries and demands, though nothing could really be understood for the rabble.
The noise was finally silenced when Iruka and a weak looking Mizuki arrived, the later sending a hate filled glare at Naruto that quickly wilted when the blonde turned to look at them.
"Okay, so all of you here have passed the academy gennin exam, which qualifies you all as potential gennin. Today, we will be dividing you into groups of three, in which you will meet your new sensei and undergo the final examination to see if you can become full ninja of Konoha." Iruka explained, ignoring the stupid people that tried to interrupt when he mentioned they weren't gennin yet. "Now, for the team selections this year, Hokage-sama and myself have decided to go a different route than is usually taken." He announced, getting murmurs from the confused teens. "In previous years, we have designed the teams to suit a specific purpose, such as tracking or information gathering and recognisance. This year however, we have designed the teams to be balanced so that they will be able to deal with almost any situation. As such, each team will have one power hitter, one tracker and one support ninja. So, Team 1..."
Naruto tuned the chuunin's listing out, knowing that he would hear when his or Hinata's names were mentioned, and turned to the girl in question. "Hey, Hina-chan, if that's how they're composing the teams, maybe we'll get to be together." He whispered excitedly, getting a hopeful smile and nod from the girl who was obviously trying to listen carefully to the teacher's speech.
"Team 7: Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka and Sakura Haruno." Iruka was forced to pause as there was a loud cheer from Sakura and disappointed sighs from Kiba and Sasuke. "Team 8: Naruto Namikaze, Hinata Hyuuga and Shikamaru Nara." He again had to pause as Naruto let out a cheer and picked Hinata up, swinging her around in a tight hug. "And Team 10: Chouji Akimichi, Shino Aburame and Ino Yamanaka." The final exclamation came from Ino who screamed about the injustice of being placed with the fat ass and creepy bug guy, both of whom proceeded to give her furious death glares that, for once, shut the loud mouth blonde up.
"Please wait here to for your senseis, they should be along shortly." Iruka announced as he left the room, shoving Mizuki, who was still glaring at Naruto, out with him.
True to the chuunin's word it was only a few minutes later that several teams were taken out by their jounin. Naruto, who had been quietly talking with Hinata and Shikamaru, who had moved over to them after the teams were announced, stopped mid sentence and turned to the door as he felt a familiar presence approaching.
"What is it Naru-kun?" Hinata asked.
Before he could reply, the door to the classroom opened and three jounin entered the room, two of whom recognised Naruto immediately.
"Naru-kun? So you really are only a gennin? I told you he wasn't lying Nai-chan!" Anko yelled as she sauntered over to the boy and his not too happy girlfriend.
"Who is she, Naru-kun?" Hinata asked, her voice coming out in a near growl, frightening everyone that heard it, since she was usually such a sweet girl.
Naruto laughed and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "She's just a jounin that I met a few days ago, nothing else, I swear."
"Aww, how can you be so mean, Naru-kun? I thought we really shared something." The half naked jounin declared with an exaggerated pout.
"Don't you have a team to collect Anko-san?" Naruto asked, hoping to get rid of the woman before she got him into more trouble.
"Me? A sensei? No way! Totally not my thing. I'm here to help Nai-chan do the test with her team." She explained, her pout instantly replaced with a sadistic grin.
'I knew she was trouble. Damn it if she isn't hot though.' Naruto thought to himself as he stared incredulously at the woman, before being pinched by Hinata.
"Ow! Sorry Hime." He muttered after looking at the insecure look on the girl's face.
"Hime? Oh Naru-kun, are you cheating on me? And so early in our relationship too." Anko exclaimed, her pout back even bigger than before.
"That's enough Anko. Team 8 come with us." Kurenai ordered as she walked back to the door.
"So cranky Nai-chan, you really do need one of my massages!" Anko yelled at her friend before turning to the shocked couple in front of her. "What's with you two? You're not on Team 8 are you?" she asked, her grin spreading even further at their reluctant nods. "Oh we are going to have so much fun."

He had no doubt that he would pass, as his grandfather had said, he could have passed it at 8. The only way he wouldn't graduate would be if one of the chuunin doing the testing tried to screw him over, and he was more than capable of taking care of that particular situation, in fact, a small part of him was hoping that they would try so he could test himself against a Konoha chuunin, since he'd only ever fought bandits or sparred with his sannin sensei, he wasn't really sure of what he could do when he became serious.
Reeling in his maniacal laughter, the teen rushed through his morning routines before running off to his training ground to warm up, the academy didn't open for three hours after all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The time had finally come and Naruto was standing in front of the door that would take him into the classroom that would change his life forever. To his surprise, the blonde was actually nervous, well, as nervous as someone with supreme confidence in their abilities can be. Taking a deep, calming breath he tentatively reached out and grasped the handle, before being violently thrown to the side.
"Get out of the way jackass!" a pair of screeching voices exclaimed as he shook his head and stood up to find the two loud girls from a few days prior trying to muscle each other out of the way so that they could enter the room first.
'And that's why I picked Hina-chan.' He thought, dusting off his clothes before leaping over the squabbling banshees and entering the classroom.
He looked up when he heard a small gasp from in the room and found a room full of children his age looking at him, except for Hinata, who appeared to be desperately looking anywhere else and fighting down a bright blush.
'Like a beacon guiding me home.' He thought with a light chuckle as he moved to sit next to the bright pink girl.
"Morning Hina-hime." He greeted as he reached her side and tenderly kissed her hand. Getting a chorus of gasps and sighs from the other students.
"M-morning N-Naru-kun." She stuttered softly.
He smiled warmly at her as he crouched down to her level. "I thought we were passed this Hime. You know you don't have to be nervous around me, I like you as you are, so there is no need to hide who you are." He proclaimed gently, still holding her hand, ignoring the dreamy smiles and sighs that were being directed at him by the majority of the girls in the room…and some of the boys.
The blue haired girl gave a small nod and gave him a sweet smile. "Arigato Naru-kun. Would you like to sit down?" she asked, shocking everyone else since they had never heard her speak without stuttering.
His smile grew as he nodded and took the seat next to her, still holding onto her hand.
"What the hell? Who are you? And how do you know Hinata-chan?" a boy Naruto recognised as Kiba Inuzuka hollered, slamming his hands down on the desk and glaring at the blonde.
"My name is Naruto, I believe we met a few days ago in the park, Kiba. As for how I know Hina-hime, well, I'm her boyfriend." He explained, getting gasps from everyone, including the Hyuuga heiress. "That is, if you would like that, Hime?" he asked gently, getting a happy nod from the lightly blushing girl.
"But aren't you like 18? What are you doing going out with a 12 year old? Are you some kind of sicko?" Kiba yelled, obviously upset by the revelation.
'He must have a thing for her.' Naruto realised before sighing. "I may look older, but I'm actually only 12 like everyone else here." He explained, getting disbelieving gasps from people around the room.
"Yeah right! You're probably just some fuc-" Kiba's taunt fell silent as Naruto leveled a fierce glare on him, supported by more than a little focused killer intent.
"You would do well to remember there are ladies present, Inuzuka. Now I have answered your questions and I think it's time for you to leave us alone." The blonde stated in calm, flat tone that sent shivers up the feral boy's spine.
Kiba only nodded dumbly before staggering back to his chair and slumping down, as the entire class stared in awe at what had just happened.
'That new guy comes in and silences Kiba, of all people, with just a look and that creepy voice. That kid is something else.' Thought the majority of the class, though some were more inclined towards jealous brooding or fangirl hysteria.
"Sorry about that Hime, I just can't stand people acting like that in front of someone as angelic as you. It's just not right."
Hinata's reply was cut off as two chuunin entered the room, one with black hair and a large scar across his nose and the other with silvery blue hair and pristine skin. 'Well, we know which one has the real world experience.' Naruto observed as the men took up positions at the front of the room, silencing the class, who had mostly been chattering about the mysterious new blonde that had arrived today.
"Good morning class. As you may have noticed, we have a new student who will be joining us for the exam today."
"How come he didn't have to attend the rest of the classes like the rest of us?" Kiba yelled, apparently having recovered from the earlier altercation.
"He was away from the village where he received private tutoring from a shinobi. He only returned two days ago and has backing from the Sandaime himself to take the exam. Does that answer your question, Kiba?" the scarred chuunin asked, clearly not happy with the interruption.
"Anyway, now that has been taken care of, we can start the exam. The first section will be a 20 question paper test. You have 1 hour which starts as soon as you get your paper. There will be no talking or cheating." The other chuunin declared gruffly, sneaking several momentary glares at Naruto, a fact which the blonde did not miss, and had to fight back a smile at.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The majority of the test, after Naruto removed the genjutsu on it, was composed of simple ninja theory and Konoha history questions, and the blonde had no trouble finishing within half an hour of the exam's start. Deciding to have some fun during his spare time, the mischievous 12 year old spent the remaining time in an unrelenting glare on the silver haired chuunin, slowly increasing his killer intent with every minute that passed. By the end of the test the chuunin was sweating profusely and noticeably trembling, though no one but Naruto and a few select others knew why. Naruto had to hold back from laughing when the man visibly flinched when he took his collected his test and saw there was no genjutsu on it.
Leaving a Kage Bunshin to mark the exams, the scarred chuunin then took them all outside for the practical portions of the exam.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The next test will be a simple taijutsu spar against either Mizuki or myself. To pass, all you need to do is land a solid hit or last the entire five minute duration. First up, Shino Aburame vs Mizuki."
The test passed slowly for Naruto as all of the students displayed, to him, pathetic "skills". That is except for a few, like the Uchiha and Inuzuka, both of whom landed hits quite quickly, and Hinata, who, after some encouragement from her boyfriend, managed to land a solid hit after only a minute.
After what seemed like an eternity, the scarred chuunin announced his name, getting shocked gasps from those who recognised his surname, and confused looks from those who didn't.
"Wait, Namikaze? As in the Yondaime?" Shikamaru asked, leaving everyone who hadn't figured it out to also gasp in shock, except those that were too caught up brooding or in fangirl hysteria.
"Yeah, he was my Tou-san." Naruto explained as he stepped into the ring, delighted to see that he had drawn the visible frightened Mizuki as his opponent.
Ignoring the surprised murmurs running through the crowd, the scarred chuunin called a start to the match.
Mizuki seemed to finally become overwhelmed by his fear as he charged the tall blonde, swinging wildly and drawing horrified gasps from the students and his partner as he was obviously not holding back.
The other chuunin was about to step in, when Naruto effortlessly ducked under a wild right hook and landed a brutal punch to the white haired man's stomach, dropping him to his knees where he vomited a lot of blood before passing out.
For quite a while everyone stared at the mysterious and apparently powerful blonde, some in awe, some in jealousy, some in fangirl hysteria and one in what was quickly blossoming into love.
"Uh, ok Naruto, I guess you pass. Shikamaru, it's your turn as soon as someone drags Mizuki out of the ring."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the matches were uninspiring with the clan children passing, except for Ino and Sakura, both of whom were completely useless.
Next they moved over to a targeting range where they had to hit a bull's-eye with kunai and shuriken at various distances. Naruto and the Uchiha scored the highest, both getting perfect scores, with Hinata coming third, thanks, once again, to some encouragement from Naruto.
After this, they went to an open field where they were to hold the ninjutsu portion of the exam.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, to pass this portion, you need to perform the three academy jutsu to an acceptable standard. That is, a reasonable henge, a practical kawarimi and creating at least three clones. You will be awarded extra points for any other jutsu that you can use."
This test was considerably more interesting as almost all of the clan children demonstrated at least one of their family jutsu. Then it came time for Naruto's turn.
He performed a flawless henge of the Sandaime Hokage, used kawarimi to switch with the startled Uchiha and used his Kage Bunshin to create 2 dozen clones.
"Very good Naruto. Are there any other techniques that you can show us?" the scarred chuunin asked, almost excitedly.
The 25 Naruto's grinned and at once they all began using different techniques. Some used basic elemental jutsu, such as Doton: Doryuheki, Futon: Daitoppa and Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu. Others used supplementary techniques like Kakuremino no Jutsu and Shunshin no Jutsu. But the one that everyone seemed to be looking at was the original, who created a swirling ball of pure chakra in his palm.
"R-Rasengan." the chuunin muttered, staring at the orb in disbelief.
"Holy shit, he really is the Yondaime's son!" Kiba exclaimed, recognising the technique from their studies in history class.
Finally regaining his composure, the chuunin looked towards the grinning blonde. "Very impressive Naruto. Is there anything else?"
Naruto's grin grew even larger. "Well, there are some others, but they're too destructive to be used with in this sort of situation. There is this though, Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" he yelled, after biting his thumb and performing some hand signs, resulting in an enormous explosion of smoke.
The smoke cleared to reveal a gigantic red toad wearing a blue vest and smoking a pipe. "Naruto? Why have you summoned me here?" the toad asked as he looked around at the familiar location.
"Hey Bunta. I'm doing the gennin exam and they wanted to see what ninjutsu I can do." The blonde explained after leaping up and standing on the amphibian's snout.
The chief toad chuckled at the boy's foxy grin. "So you're showing off again huh? Sometimes you're too much like that cocky father of yours."
Naruto shrugged. "Genetics, what're you gonna do?"
Gamabunta let out another rumbling laugh. "Well if that's all, I'm gonna be going. The wife gets cranky when I stay too long on social calls. See you later kid." The toad proclaimed before vanishing in another huge plume of smoke.
"W-was that the Gamabunta?" the chuunin asked as Naruto landed from falling when the toad left.
"Of course. So what do you say Iruka-san, do I pass?" the blonde asked with a smirk.
The chuunin's response was cut off when another puff of smoke appeared, revealing the Hokage, Jiraiya and several anbu.
"What happened? Why did you summon Gamabunta?" the Sandaime asked frantically, getting a sheepish expression from the whiskered blonde.
"I told you it was nothing sensei. The gaki was just showing off again, I swear you're too-"
"Too much like my Tou-san, I know, Bunta said the same thing." Naruto interrupted, getting a smack on the back of his head from the white haired sannin.
"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama?" Iruka questioned, still somewhat overwhelmed by what had happened today.
"Oh, sorry for interrupting Iruka-san. We thought something had happened when we saw that Naruto-kun had summoned Gamabunta." Sarutobi explained.
"It's no trouble Hokage-sama, it's always an honour to have you here." Iruka proclaimed with a low bow.
"Well then, I think we shall be going, good luck young ones, do your best." The Hokage said as he and the other new arrivals all left as they had come.
"Okay, I think that's it for the ninjutsu section. I'm going to collate the scores and see who has passed. Please meet back in the classroom in an hour. Till then, you're dismissed." Iruka announced as he walked back towards the academy building, paying no mind to his assistant who was still unconscious at the taijutsu test area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto and Hinata, having run off to avoid the torrent of questions that were bound to arise from the rest of the students, found themselves walking through the business district of the village, looking for somewhere to eat lunch. The blonde felt a twinge of guilt build within him as they walked past Ichiraku's and his thoughts turned to the other young woman he had begun dating.
Taking a deep breath and turning to the brightly smiling girl next to him, he prepared himself for a tough conversation. "Hina-chan. Will you please come with me, there is something that I need to tell you." He said seriously, getting a nod from the girl, whose smile had slipped at his ominous tone.
He gently took her hand and led her towards the ramen stand, stopping just before they entered. "Hina-chan. Whatever happens in here, I want you to know that everything that I have said I feel for you is true, and I hope that you will listen to my full explanation before you make any decisions regarding our future." Hinata nodded, her worry and concern only growing as his speech went on.
Finally, Naruto took another deep breath and they entered the store.
Ayame smiled brightly when she saw who had walked in, but the smile quickly disappeared when she noticed that he was holding hands with another woman.
"Aya-chan, could you please come with us for a moment? There is something that we need to talk about." Naruto said seriously, hating the looks of betrayal that were written across the faces of both women he had come to care greatly about.
Ayame, swallowing her rage and hurt temporarily gave a nod and decided to let the man she was falling in love with explain himself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes of terribly awkward silence later and the three young people stopped at a bench in a beautiful park. Naruto motioned for the girls to sit and they did, both giving wary glances to each other, before looking back at the obviously nervous blonde before them.
"Before I start, I just want to say that absolutely everything I have told both of you was completely true, about my past and my feelings towards you. However I have omitted some details. As Hina-chan heard today, I am the son of the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze." Naruto paused to let the shocked Ayame digest that information. "As you know, my father died after his defeating the Kyuubi no Kitsune. What very few people know, is that he did not kill the demon, he couldn't. Instead, he did the next best thing, he sealed it away, preventing it from ever getting loose again. The catch was, that the Kyuubi was far too powerful to be sealed into an object as is usually done, the only thing that could possible contain the beasts tremendous power, was a newborn baby...me. Since I was barely an hour old I have had the most powerful demon the world has ever known sealed within me." Both girls had a variety of expressions running across their faces, ranging from terror to concern to sadness to love. Naruto let them sort through his revelation for a few moments before he continued. "I promise you that I am who I am, and the fox is completely dormant, it has never and will never, get control of me, my father's seal ensures that much and when I die, the fox will die with me. It was because of this that I had to leave with my godfather Jiraiya shortly after the sealing, because the village council demanded that I be put to death to ensure the fox could never escape. It was only because of the interference of Jiraiya and the Sandaime that I am still alive today." The girls' expressions now held only anger, sadness and love, though Hinata's was showing considerably more anger than Ayame's. 'Must be because her father is on the council.' He thought. Before he continued again. "When we finally returned a few days ago it was revealed that the council has finally acknowledged me as the heir to the Namikaze clan, that was automatically created when Tou-san became the Yondaime, just as it was with the Senju and Sarutobi clans for the previous Hokage's. There is a catch though. Since I am the only living member of the clan, I have been placed under the Clan Restoration Act." Hinata gasped loudly as she realised what that meant and looked at the girl next to her, who just seemed confused.
"That means that you can marry more than one woman, right?" the Hyuuga asked, getting a gasp from Ayame, and a slight shake of the head from Naruto.
"Not quite. It means that I have to marry more than one woman, at least four to be exact."
"Does...does that mean that you don't really like one of us? That you're just using us to fill up your quota?" Ayame asked, her tone lost between betrayed and outraged.
"That's not it at all!" Naruto yelled firmly, startling both girls.
"I'm sorry. But like I said before, everything I told you is the truth. I care for both of you deeply, and had arranged dates with both of you before I even knew about the stupid law. I would never, and will never be involved with someone that I don't care about. Which is why I hate the clause the council put in so much." He stated firmly.
"What clause?" Hinata asked quietly, trying to decide how she felt about the situation.
Naruto sighed and suddenly looked very weary. "I have to marry at least four women by my 14th birthday, or the village council will select my wives and force me to marry them, regardless of how either party feels about it."
The blonde took another deep breath and sat between the women, grasping their hands in his. "I want both of you to think seriously about this. Whilst I do care deeply for you, I cannot ask you to be a part of a situation that you would not feel comfortable in. I am, by no means asking you to marry me right now as it is obviously far too early for such a decision. All I want you to do is decide if you are willing to give our relationship a chance and see where it goes." He then gave each girl's hand a reassuring squeeze before getting up and beginning to walk away.
When he had finally disappeared into the distance, the two girls looked at each other.
"I guess we have a lot to talk about." Ayame said, getting a nod from the younger female.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the hour break was up the classroom was filled with excited chattering from the potential gennin, with three notable exceptions. Sasuke Uchiha, who was brooding as always, Naruto Namikaze, who appeared significantly more reserved than he had been earlier, almost to the point that he seemed depressed and Hinata Hyuuga, who wasn't present.
After waiting for the girl for a few minutes, Iruka decided to begin anyway, but before he could start, the door to the room was abruptly opened and Hinata walked in, accompanied by a girl that only two or three of the class recognised. The girls paid the angry teacher no heed as they marched up to Naruto, grabbed an arm each and dragged him from the room, closing the door behind them as they left.
" Okay...um, will somebody tell Hinata or Naruto if they see them later that they both passed and need to come here tomorrow at 8 for team placements?"
"Don't worry, I've got it." Announced a voice that turned out to be Naruto as he walked back through the doorway.
"What was that about Naruto? And where is Hinata?" Iruka asked, not happy with the disruptions to the class.
"She and Ayame, the other girl, are having a private talk with the original. I'm just here to make sure they don't miss anything important." "Naruto" announced before taking his seat.
"So you're a Kage Bunshin?" Iruka asked, getting a nod from the blonde.
"Whatever. Okay, the following people have passed: Shino Aburame..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl's finally came to a stop at a bench on one of the currently empty academy training grounds.
"Sit." Ayame ordered sternly, getting a nod from Naruto as he did so. Before he could speak, Hinata raised a hand asking for silence.
"Please just listen for now Naruto-kun. We have some things we need to say." The pale eyed girl stated, getting another nod from the blonde. "We have been talking about everything that you told us and we have come to a decision." She explained flatly.
"We have decided that we both wish to pursue a relationship with you, and are willing to share with each other and others if necessary, if," Ayame stated firmly, cutting off the boy's premature celebration. "If, you agree to certain conditions." She finished.
"Okay, what are they?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Firstly, you are not to give preferential treatment to either of us or any of the other women that may join in the future. We are all to be treated equally in everything."
Naruto nodded. "Of course, that's only fair."
"Second, everyone must agree before you start a relationship with a new woman. If this is going to work, we need to be a family, that means everyone gets a say in the decisions." Hinata added, her tone far more confident and firm than usual, making Naruto smile that the shy girl was coming out of her shell more and more.
"Okay, anything else?" seeing the girls shake their heads, Naruto gave a bright smile and pulled them both into a warm embrace. "Thank you both so much for this. If it comes to it, I will gladly spend the rest of my life trying to make up for the kindness you angels have done me today." He declared before kissing each of them tenderly on the lips.
"How about we all go grab some lunch to celebrate, my treat?" Naruto asked, linking arms with one of his women on each side.
Suddenly Hinata squealed and buried her head in Naruto's shoulder, drawing strange looks from the other two.
"What's the matter Hina-chan?" the blonde asked as he tilted the girl's head upwards so she looked at him.
"We just pulled you out of the class in front of everyone and we totally ignored Iruka-sensei! He's going to be so mad and what if we missed some big anoun-"
Naruto silenced the hysterical girl with a finger on her plump lips. "Relax Hina-chan, I created a Kage Bunshin as you guys were dragging me off. He explained the situation and when he dispels, I'll know everything that happened during the class, so we won't miss anything. Okay?" Hinata nodded and pulled slightly away from him so they could keep walking whilst she maintained her grip on his arm, with Ayame copying her action on the other side, they set off to eat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three teens spent the rest of the afternoon together and Naruto was delighted to find that the girl's got along like old friends, relieving one of his concerns regarding the unconventional relationship. At the end of the day he created a Kage Bunshin and walked both women home, giving them both loving goodnight kisses, though they were both more involved this time, as they had been expecting it.
He then went home to his father's compound, which he and Jiraiya had finally managed to clean to liveable standards. It was, by no means, as large as the Hyuuga or Uchiha complexes, more like a single, large house surrounded by nice grounds and even a small lake. Naruto couldn't have been happier with his home, as it had been just as he imagined whilst spending his entire life on the road, a stable, safe location with plenty of room for him to start his new family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Naruto surprised Hinata by picking her up from the Hyuuga compound and walking her to the academy. Needless to say they caused a bit of a stir when they entered the classroom holding hands and smiling brightly. They looked up to find everyone staring at them with a variety of reactions from shock to indifference, but there was a surprising amount of jealous glares aimed at both of them, though most were at Hinata, for taking the man who had been dubbed the new hottest member of their class, a fact that thoroughly pissed off a certain Uchiha, though he would never admit it.
"Uh...hey?" Naruto said, instantly causing the room to erupt in a frenzy of shrill cries and demands, though nothing could really be understood for the rabble.
The noise was finally silenced when Iruka and a weak looking Mizuki arrived, the later sending a hate filled glare at Naruto that quickly wilted when the blonde turned to look at them.
"Okay, so all of you here have passed the academy gennin exam, which qualifies you all as potential gennin. Today, we will be dividing you into groups of three, in which you will meet your new sensei and undergo the final examination to see if you can become full ninja of Konoha." Iruka explained, ignoring the stupid people that tried to interrupt when he mentioned they weren't gennin yet. "Now, for the team selections this year, Hokage-sama and myself have decided to go a different route than is usually taken." He announced, getting murmurs from the confused teens. "In previous years, we have designed the teams to suit a specific purpose, such as tracking or information gathering and recognisance. This year however, we have designed the teams to be balanced so that they will be able to deal with almost any situation. As such, each team will have one power hitter, one tracker and one support ninja. So, Team 1..."
Naruto tuned the chuunin's listing out, knowing that he would hear when his or Hinata's names were mentioned, and turned to the girl in question. "Hey, Hina-chan, if that's how they're composing the teams, maybe we'll get to be together." He whispered excitedly, getting a hopeful smile and nod from the girl who was obviously trying to listen carefully to the teacher's speech.
"Team 7: Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka and Sakura Haruno." Iruka was forced to pause as there was a loud cheer from Sakura and disappointed sighs from Kiba and Sasuke. "Team 8: Naruto Namikaze, Hinata Hyuuga and Shikamaru Nara." He again had to pause as Naruto let out a cheer and picked Hinata up, swinging her around in a tight hug. "And Team 10: Chouji Akimichi, Shino Aburame and Ino Yamanaka." The final exclamation came from Ino who screamed about the injustice of being placed with the fat ass and creepy bug guy, both of whom proceeded to give her furious death glares that, for once, shut the loud mouth blonde up.
"Please wait here to for your senseis, they should be along shortly." Iruka announced as he left the room, shoving Mizuki, who was still glaring at Naruto, out with him.
True to the chuunin's word it was only a few minutes later that several teams were taken out by their jounin. Naruto, who had been quietly talking with Hinata and Shikamaru, who had moved over to them after the teams were announced, stopped mid sentence and turned to the door as he felt a familiar presence approaching.
"What is it Naru-kun?" Hinata asked.
Before he could reply, the door to the classroom opened and three jounin entered the room, two of whom recognised Naruto immediately.
"Naru-kun? So you really are only a gennin? I told you he wasn't lying Nai-chan!" Anko yelled as she sauntered over to the boy and his not too happy girlfriend.
"Who is she, Naru-kun?" Hinata asked, her voice coming out in a near growl, frightening everyone that heard it, since she was usually such a sweet girl.
Naruto laughed and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "She's just a jounin that I met a few days ago, nothing else, I swear."
"Aww, how can you be so mean, Naru-kun? I thought we really shared something." The half naked jounin declared with an exaggerated pout.
"Don't you have a team to collect Anko-san?" Naruto asked, hoping to get rid of the woman before she got him into more trouble.
"Me? A sensei? No way! Totally not my thing. I'm here to help Nai-chan do the test with her team." She explained, her pout instantly replaced with a sadistic grin.
'I knew she was trouble. Damn it if she isn't hot though.' Naruto thought to himself as he stared incredulously at the woman, before being pinched by Hinata.
"Ow! Sorry Hime." He muttered after looking at the insecure look on the girl's face.
"Hime? Oh Naru-kun, are you cheating on me? And so early in our relationship too." Anko exclaimed, her pout back even bigger than before.
"That's enough Anko. Team 8 come with us." Kurenai ordered as she walked back to the door.
"So cranky Nai-chan, you really do need one of my massages!" Anko yelled at her friend before turning to the shocked couple in front of her. "What's with you two? You're not on Team 8 are you?" she asked, her grin spreading even further at their reluctant nods. "Oh we are going to have so much fun."
