"Not all life is deathly shallow.
All things play their role
Right down to the meadows, and the grove.
Usually we take it for granted.
Taking it with the slanted rock.
On the way the down to the Forboding field of battle."
- Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto sat there writing on the piece of paper, his mind has been more, and more inspired as of recently. Today marks the first day of his academic tutelage in ninja hood, yet he found it quite easy. There was simple rules to follow for young kids inside the first year, and out of the years later on. Though Naruto found rules just to be a hinderance, because he knew from learning with Hiruzen the Shinobi world has no rules, and has no quarrels that are justified. Revenge can be denied, and that those who seek must prepare a funeral for their humanity. He got done writing, and just put the paper back into his pocket. Iruka took notice of this, and smiled. "Writing poetry there Mister Uzumaki?" Iruka asked, and Naruto got several looks from the people there, and nodded. "Yeah, bit of my hobby, but you should know this by now Iruka-sensei, you've only known me for... Around eight months?" Naruto said, and the class looked back at Iruka. "Well you got me there Naruto, anyway class listen up. When I call your Name I want your to tell me you're last name first, and then your first, along with your dream, and goals." Ordered who made it sound soft, and the children nodded.
"Ok Naruto, your up" Iruka state pointing a pencil towards Naruto, the blonde, and black haired boy smiled. He got, and bowed to the class, several of the children smiled, but also several scowled at the blonde, black haired hybird, being told that he was a freak by their parents. One of the then scowling children had black hair, and black eyes, and one with a unusual pink hair color, which made Naruto sort of cringe at the thought of having pink hair, red ok, black sure, blonde meh, pink. Pink is what Naruto would consider atrocious, and if he was old enough he would've called right down ****ing stupid. However, he really had no room to complain, he loved Orange, red, and brown. In fact he was wearing a red shirt, with orange pants... So yeah... No room to be a hypocrite, but in all fairness, at least he wore practical colors.
"My Name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki err... I mean Uzumaki Naruto, My dream is to become the greatest ninja ever, and my goals... Well I guess come what may happen?" Naruto said, and was given a smile by Iruka, as he sat back down. As he did the said pink haired girl looked at him, and shook her head. She mouth her words to him, calling him a "idiot". Naruto face turned sour, and just turned around. 'idiot... Guess even here people hate me... Damn it...' Naruto mused, and he looked up, and saw a boy with black hair almost like a bowl.
"Sakura Haruno?" Iruka asked.
Sakura stood up, and looked around the audience, and she began to speak. "Haruno Sakura, my dream is to become the greatest Konuchi, and my goals... *she looks towards the raven haired boy.*" the said raven haired boy just scuffed it off. Naruto was just hanging his low at this point, and he knew today could only two ways. Better, or way worse, and then the Raven haired boy was called, and he stood up. "Uchiha, Uchiha Sasuke, my goals... No my ambition is to get revenge for my family." Sasuke said with a monotone, and with a borderline emo voice.
Naruto day... Well it just got worse, cause when the boy sat down he was still just glaring at him, as if he was the problem.
The minutes seem to go by quickly Naruto learning each name, and goal. He recited them over in his head, and made sure to remember the face to go with it, and he smiled, and nodded as the last one finished her case. Then he mentally recited them all, and began with the one liked the most.
"My name is Lee, rock Lee, and my dream is to be the best ninja without genjutsu, or ninjutsu ever." Naruto could've only smiled at that, and you know what. Though only six, and still ignorant to the world, Naruto knew that from what he learned from his Jiji, it was entirely possible. In fact, he find himself drawn into the idea of mostly challenging him into matches if there would ever be classes involving one on one taijutsu... That in Naruto's young mind would be awesome.
The next one he liked the most was from a wild haired boy, spiky hair like his, and Naruto liked his attitude, and in fact... Naruto could actually consider him to be his brother if they ever had the same mother, which he chuckle at while thinking, and then he remembered what the boy said, and realized to his shock, and fear he had a rival, "Inuzuka, Kiba Inuzuka, and my goal is to become Hokage" Naruto dream may have been to become the most powerful ninja, but he always wanted to become a Kage, and become acknowledged. It wasn't like he needed to be, it's just he longed to be. After all the years in his life, he seen people, children his age with kids celebrating, and celebrating on his birthday. The day the Kyuubi no Yoko died.
There was good days where he would be contempt with his life, and there was days he would just stay locked up inside his house, and how he would just cry looking at a corner. Questioning himself who he belong too, and who would matter to him in the future, if he would even have a future. Where most people his age was imagining love, he was just trying to figure out the next most efficient move in the step of his young life. The only people who ever took care of him was those who decided to be charitable once in a while, or those, who felt like they would do a good deed. Naruto though appreciated there efforts though, even though most of the time they were bare minimal, and quick hand me downs.
Naruto turned his head to his third most favorite right now, Hinata. Though he could barely hear most of her speech, she seemed to be shy, and to add to the fact. He was the girl he saved from the bullies, and he found it funny the way she blushed around him. However, he just blew it off, and he just focused on the now. Iruka was now motioning for the class to follow him outside the room. Naruto was the last to leave his seat, and then Iruka saw slowly skulk out the door. "Hey Naruto whats wrong?" the teacher asked as he watch his friend take a sad walk. "It's nothing, i just don't think anyone likes me here... " Naruto said in depression. Iruka just smiled, and stopped the boy. "Look Naruto... No matter what, you got a friend in me, now lets go to Taijutsu class." Iruka finished pushing Naruto along who allowed a small smile to form on his lips.
Taijutsu class, 12:00pm. A few months later.
"Hey you blonde kid, Naruto right?" a brown headed boy said, he was laying in the grass on the field. "Yeah... What is it?" Naruto asked walking over to him, the brown headed kid smiled. "Want to spar with me?" Naruto just smiled, and nodded "Sure, Kiba... Right?" Naruto asked pointing at the boy, and Kiba nodded. "Yeah, anyway Naruto get ready, because I am going to... Rock... Your... World." Kiba said with a fist pumped in the air, and Naruto just smiled with glee. Kiba got up, and went to the rest of the group, the first match had already begun.
Sasuke vs. Hinata
Sasuke had called out the girl almost out of the starting gates, they were both clan heads, well Sasuke was, and Hinata was just the heir. Everyone gathered around as Iruka walked into the middle of the two combatants. He raised his hand and threw it down "Begin". Hinata was the first to act she brought her hands up, and blocked Sasuke's strikes. Sasuke got low, and sweeped kicked her to the ground, she landed, and rolled out of the ending hand stance, and was able to counter. She launched a kick to Sasuke's sternum, and he managed to dodge it, albeit barely. Naruto was cheering Hinata gaining hateful glares at himself, but he ignored them, and watched the blue haired Hyuuga heir go to work. However, Sasuke was now where near down, or out. He came back up, and a resounding slap could be heard, Sasuke slapped Hinata in the face, and as she was stunned he kicked her with his knee, and when she was lurched forward from the impact, he kicked her back.
Naruto was shouting for Hinata "to step up her game" Kiba even began to get on this, followed by lee, and then several other's both male, and female.
"Come on Hinata, show'em what you got!" Naruto shouted"
"Let's go white eye, you can take him down!" Kiba shouted, and earned a scowl from Naruto.
"Go get'em!" cheered Chouji.
"Fight..." a Shino Aburama said as he lifted his fist up.
"Come Hinata show him what it means to have the flames of youth!" Lee shouted, along with Tenten.
Hinata eyes began to strain as veins popped out around them, Sasuke just smirked "Oh soy have to rely on your clan's blood line to fight me, I'm not even trying... You'll just be trash" Sasuke said with a smirk. Sakura, Ino, and many other girls were swooning, but Naruto was pissed. Hinata though grew anger, and she fought back she launched her palms at Sasuke trying to land blow, but Iruka cut in, and stopped the fight. "End this, it's a draw"
END OF FIGHT
Sasuke was seething in anger, how dare they stop his fight, he tried launching at the girl again, but got pulled away by a few of the boys. He knew why they stopped the match, Hinata's bloodline technique was dangerous, and the all so important council knew his importance. However, this still put a huge dent in his pride, and he felt that said dent hard.
"Sasuke cool off man, it's just a spar, there nothing significant about this fight. Your making too damn troublesome. Naruto had Sasuke in a head lock as they pulled him away, Naruto was pushing everything he had in the head lock to pull Sasuke back. The Uchiha was fighting them every step of the way, but eventually calming his nerves, however, he turned around, and of all of the people he could've punched, he punched the blonde "dobe" first. "You damn fool, you convinced to use her bloodline, you cost me my perfect record in sparring!" Sasuke yelled, Naruto just rubbed his broken nose, but he grabbed the Uchiha's shirt with his fist. "You want another shot at me now!" Naruto yelled, and soon those two were going at it, causing Iruka to cancel the rest of the class for that day. Naruto had lost in the end though, he had cuts, and bruises from Sasuke's punches. Sasuke got out far better end though. He a bruise, a broken nose, but he was fine, and apparently his Uchiha pride satisfied. Sakura, and Ino were pissed at Naruto for having touched their Sasuke-kun, and that he was going to be in big trouble.
Konoha, Residential district 4:00pm
Naruto, however got off with a warning, a slap on the wrist for his behavior. However, in his defence he said he felt his eyes hurting during the battle for some strange reason. He had gone to the bathrooms, and looked in the mirror, he could've sworn they flickered red, but blew it off. He was tired, and wanted to just go get something to eat, and besides today was his birthday. Once again he was going to spend it alone. However, he had various activities planned out for himself.
Like for example, go swing on the swings... If no one else was there. Or go get a cake... If the baker did not hat him, or maybe invite friends over, but their parents never allowed them, and Naruto would just try to come up with excuses all night. However, he could not. So he just went to go get some food at Ichiraku, the only place that would give him decent food, but gave it too him free, because him, and Ayame's dad had a good bond, and he even taught Naruto how to cook a little bit in his spare time. Now on a road in Konoha, the blonde hair kid makes his way to the most wanted thing in Konoha, it was not ninja, it was... Ramen.
He sped through the residential area, many people wonder what the red blur was running past them. He had a bright beaming smile on his face. Naruto quickly made it the stall, and went in, there he was greeted by the average cheery couple. "Hey Ayame-Chan, hey Mister Ichiraku." Naruto said with a bright smile, the two looked at him, and smiled. "Hey Naruto, how are you doing today, my, my are you growing shaggy hair" Ayame pointed to Naruto's hair which was becoming longer, it fell just below his ear lobes, it was spiky, and the streaks of black was more present. "I guess so, come on, you know me Ayame-chan, I can't judge myself worth two copper." Naruto spat out in a laugh, Ayame just smiled, and then got into to a thinking pose. "Hmmm I wonder what this day is?" she pondered, trying to get a reaction out of the blonde, she didn't have to wait long, and the blonde immideatly spat out "My birthday!" Ayamae, and Teuichi laughed. The man walked over to Naruto, and gor to high level with the boy, "So what will it be today?" He asked, and Naruto smiled. "Miso Ramen, with Pork Fillet." Naruto declared happily. The old man nodded, got out the needed supplies to make the dish, several customers were watching Naruto. One of them was a masked Jonin with a mask over his face. Naruto looked at the man, and smiled, but the man just returned to his meal.
At the Hokage tower, 4:14pm
Uzumaki Naruto
Age: 7
Weight: 67 pounds
Height: 4.7 feet
Taijutsu: B
Genjutsu: D
Ninjutsu: C
General intellect: D
Reflexes: B
Special training: Umino style taijutsu
Current skill level: 14.5
Ninjutsu: 3 out of 20
Gen: .5 out of 20
Tai: 5 out of 20
Stamina: 5 out of 20
Intelligence: 1 out of 20
Total: 14.5 out of 100
Notes: the current skill level Naruto has shown puts him in the average of the class, not to low, not to high. However, he requires buffering out Genjutsu arts, and could stand to read a few books, but all he seems to read is stuff about the Kage of the past generations, taking interest mostly in you, and the past Kage. He seems to actually learn faster than normal, but if he does he doesn't show it. We recommend you talk to his parents, or guardian, and have him seek a way to break down any barriers if any he seems to be keeping up. Along with the fact, we believe he has tested positive to bloodline limit, however, we have no idea what it is though. All background checks, and current attempts failed to establish it.
We also recommend Naruto Uzumaki to be put with a special Jonin upon graduation, if he does that is, for that of Taijutsu, or Ninjutsu. Perhaps both, and there are other classes you may sign him onto to test his ability, or even interest in Kenjutsu, tracking, trapping, or even Kinjutsu... The ones that we can legally use. Next semester begins are all in door classes. Chakra theory, Chakra control, Konoha history, and basic knowledge.
It would also seem in the months, or now years that Iruka has known Naruto, he has take it upon himself to train Naruto in his family's Taijutsu, Naruto seems to excel in it, being that it's fast pace, an almost free form fighting style. Iruka relationship to Naruto makes him probably the only true companion he has, and thus should be considered to teach with much a need.
-Academy head
Sarutobi, looked at the letter, and smiled. "Not bad Naruto-chan, not bad at all. So... What to do now?" The old Kage said as he looked out the window, and at his village. "Hmm, it is Naruto's birthday today, I guess i could treat him to something, well besides ramen, it seams I guess today is the day he going to have first try at cake." Hiruzen said, and he looked towards his secretary. "Miss Nama, please see to it that this order is delivered to the local baker, and as such the details as well." the kage said as he turned around to see a black haired women with red banes in her hair. She bowed, and he began to write on a piece of paper. When he finished he handed her the paper, and she sped off immediately. The Kage sighed, and sat down. Then smirked, "well i guess i better get to Naruto-chan's house, and get his party ready."
Mean while, outside of Konoha. 4:40pm
"Leave me alone!" a little red headed girl shouted as she ran through the forest, she was being chased by a group of bandits, and her body was sore, aching in agony. She felt like she just a entire marathon, and then some. "Get that little *****" one of the man shouted, she could be no older than seven, just like Naruto back in the village. However, right now she was trying to escape her certain capture. "Leave me alone *******s!" she shouted, this caused the men behind to start throwing rocks, attempting to stop her from getting any further.
A rock connected with her leg, and she was sent to the ground. She looked up, she brought her hands up, and she began to contort them into symbols. "Shit, lets just ****ing kill the little *****!" the man with a bandanna yelled, but as soon as he did the girl unleashed a massive torrent of water from her mouth, blasting the man away. She then got up, and began to run again. She soon came upon a village, and allowed herself a brief moment of victory, but it was brief. She felt a huge weight come on top her, and felt rope being tied around her hands. "NO! I'm not going back, get off of me *******!" she screamed, hoping someone, or anyone could help her, but soon more of the men came down from the trees. She was cursing, shouted, and all around throwing a fit, trying to get someone to hear her.
Smack
The resounding sound of flesh, hitting flesh hard was heard, and girl was crying. She had a big red palm print on the side of her face, her red hair was in disarray, and she was frightened. "Ok slave girl, you want to die!" the man that smacked her shouted, he brought a dagger out. The girl began to back up fast, she was scared, and her eyes was wide. The man that held the tagger walked over to her, and held it in reverse grip. "M-Master please... I-I'm sorry, please" the girl begged. The man sneered as he got closer. He brought the knife up to her neck, and pressed it on her throat. "Your sorry? Look here you little *****, do you think I care, besides your not going to die, but your going to wish that we killed your worthless ass a long, long time ago." he snickered, and he cut a shallow cut into her neck, a little bit of blood trickled. She was scared as the men around grabbed her, and tied her to the tree. They began to throw kunai, barely missing the girl.
Unknown to them, a pair of azure eyes, and they sped off back to the village.
A few minutes earlier.
Naruto had got done eating at Ichiraku, and decided to take a walk. He was tired, but he was willing to go to his special place in the forest. It wasn't really that hard to find... For him at least. It was never seen by many villagers, and seemed to be a secluded spot. He had discovered while being chased by bullies just a year ago. When he found he never seen such beauty. It was grove, but not too big either. It had a small fresh water pond, and at night he got to see the fireflies dance, what he akin to dance anyway. He would take the time to actually practice his taijutsu, and kunai throwing there. He had a specific tree picked out, and a stash of shuriken, and kunai. He loved it, it always got him out of bind, or a place to relax, and it helped the pond seam to be a hot bath as well, seemingly self heated by something. Naruto did not know it, but he wish he could.
He had brought a spare change of clothing with him, he planned to take dip inside the said pond when he got there, and possibly stay until he could see the fireflies. They only came once a week, and that's when he would go to see them, and that was his little slice of nirvana. He would never give it up, and if he ever had a family he swore to bring them dare, possibly build a house there, which goes to say, he had a little hut he had built near the clearing, and it would seem that he enjoyed staying on the weekends, away from the hate, and ignorance. A chance for his mask to come off, he looked like happy, and he smiled a lot. However, did anyone ever bothered to know why? Why he smiled, why he pranked so much, he knew that the Hokage knew the answer, and that the man himself was the only one besides three others that could see through his mask. Ayame, Iruka, and much to his Ire Sasuke. Speaking of which the little prick seems to get off making Naruto mad, and making him get into trouble. Today was not their first scuffle, in fact it was probably the hundredth time they fought. However, he always thanked Kami that if he got out of there, he had a place of rest to go to.
He walked the clear secluded path, a path that was only taken by ninja, who usually blurred past the trees, running like a bat out of hell. However, there have been recent reports saying that slave traders have been in the area as well. Naruto always kept a hidden kunai on him, just in case one of his beatings ever got dicey, or with the person being drunk.
That's when he heard the scream, he looked around at first scared, then he heard it again. "Leave me alone" was the clear massage he heard, he slowly went into the bushes as a girl his age ran by, and bandits quickly in transit. Naruto's Azure eyes looked on in horror as she got caught. He wanted to help her, but found himself unable to move, so he slowly skulked away, but that's when he heard her plea, and Naruto never liked to see anyone hurt, or in pain. However, this was way out of his league, and he knew it. However, this did not stop him from sneak around. He saw them tie her to a tree, and throw kunai at her, barely missing.
Naruto now had a choice... Run, and get help risking the possibility of her being gone when they ever got back, or if they ever got back here. Stand, and try to fight them off, and probably die in the process. That's when Naruto mind went into overdrive, and his facial expression becoming serious. He grabbed his hidden Kunai, and waited, he waited, and waited. Then he saw the opportunity. The six men that were torturing took a second breather, and that's when Naruto came spiraling out of the bushes. He was running as fast as he could. He knew if he was too slow he would get caught. His eyes began to get tunnel vision, and slowly, but surely he closed the gap between the girl, and him. What seemed slow to him, was fast to other's his blood was pumping, and he knew any stop would prove fatal, he blurred past them un-noticed, and brought his hidden dagger down on the ropes, cutting them. That's when the girl felt the ropes loosen, the men then moved around to back of the tree, not noticing that Naruto had placed a paint bomb tag on the ground. As they neared it, it exploded, and red paint went everywhere. Naruto came flying out of the bushes again, this time he could be seen as he stopped, and grabbed the girl. He was strong for his age, and he knew it. Where most people could lift only meek one hundred pounds, he could've lift hundred and sixty, even up to two-hundred.
The girl was frightened, but if this boy was trying to save her she didn't fight him, and allowed him to cut her ropes when he sat her down. "Are you ok?" the blonde boy asked her, and she nodded. Naruto looked into her eyes, very dark blue, and had a alluring factor to them. Naruto then to his own shock, pushed her just in time for a kunai to whiz by. "Shit, those damn *******s are close." she cursed, and Naruto looked at her. "What?!" she yelled, Naruto shook his head. "Nothing, never heard a girl my age curse before, but we got to get out of here... And I got plan."
"A plan..." The girl said, and Naruto nodded, wrapping three paint bomb tags around his kunai.
"Yeah... Your looking at the most unpredictable person in Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto" he said with gusto, the girl looked at him. "I'm, Tayuya... I don't know who my parents are..." she said, and Naruto frowned.
That's when three shuriken whizzed towards them, and Naruto grabbed the girl, and began to run with her. "Less talky, more runny." Naruto said, and Tayuya held on. The men were closing in, if the red paint wasn't on them, then they would be red from how pissed they were. Tricked by a little kid, how ****ing shameful was that?
End of chapter... Nope
Omake 1
Naruto, and Icha icha
It was another day for Naruto, he had broken into the Hokage's office to set a prank up, and then he saw something strange, a book laying on the desk, the old man had just gone to the bathroom, and Naruto knew it would take him a while so he just, peeked at the book. What he saw confused him. Women baring there bodies, what kind of book was this? Naruto looked at it, and got a nose bleed. He smirked devilishly. He planted a directional paint tag, it wouldn't get on the book, but if the old men was going to read that said page, then he'd be whiter than a ghost... Literally.
So the next day, Naruto awoke to a white Hokage, and screamed his head off. Thinking his Jiji had died, and became a ghost. He was meant to put the red tag in, but put in a white one instead. So for the entire day, his Jiji pranked him back, but gave him a fear of ghosts.

Sasuke had called out the girl almost out of the starting gates, they were both clan heads, well Sasuke was, and Hinata was just the heir. Everyone gathered around as Iruka walked into the middle of the two combatants. He raised his hand and threw it down "Begin". Hinata was the first to act she brought her hands up, and blocked Sasuke's strikes. Sasuke got low, and sweeped kicked her to the ground, she landed, and rolled out of the ending hand stance, and was able to counter. She launched a kick to Sasuke's sternum, and he managed to dodge it, albeit barely. Naruto was cheering Hinata gaining hateful glares at himself, but he ignored them, and watched the blue haired Hyuuga heir go to work. However, Sasuke was now where near down, or out. He came back up, and a resounding slap could be heard, Sasuke slapped Hinata in the face, and as she was stunned he kicked her with his knee, and when she was lurched forward from the impact, he kicked her back.
Naruto was shouting for Hinata "to step up her game" Kiba even began to get on this, followed by lee, and then several other's both male, and female.
"Come on Hinata, show'em what you got!" Naruto shouted"
"Let's go white eye, you can take him down!" Kiba shouted, and earned a scowl from Naruto.
"Go get'em!" cheered Chouji.
"Fight..." a Shino Aburama said as he lifted his fist up.
"Come Hinata show him what it means to have the flames of youth!" Lee shouted, along with Tenten.
Hinata eyes began to strain as veins popped out around them, Sasuke just smirked "Oh soy have to rely on your clan's blood line to fight me, I'm not even trying... You'll just be trash" Sasuke said with a smirk. Sakura, Ino, and many other girls were swooning, but Naruto was pissed. Hinata though grew anger, and she fought back she launched her palms at Sasuke trying to land blow, but Iruka cut in, and stopped the fight. "End this, it's a draw"
END OF FIGHT
Sasuke was seething in anger, how dare they stop his fight, he tried launching at the girl again, but got pulled away by a few of the boys. He knew why they stopped the match, Hinata's bloodline technique was dangerous, and the all so important council knew his importance. However, this still put a huge dent in his pride, and he felt that said dent hard.
"Sasuke cool off man, it's just a spar, there nothing significant about this fight. Your making too damn troublesome. Naruto had Sasuke in a head lock as they pulled him away, Naruto was pushing everything he had in the head lock to pull Sasuke back. The Uchiha was fighting them every step of the way, but eventually calming his nerves, however, he turned around, and of all of the people he could've punched, he punched the blonde "dobe" first. "You damn fool, you convinced to use her bloodline, you cost me my perfect record in sparring!" Sasuke yelled, Naruto just rubbed his broken nose, but he grabbed the Uchiha's shirt with his fist. "You want another shot at me now!" Naruto yelled, and soon those two were going at it, causing Iruka to cancel the rest of the class for that day. Naruto had lost in the end though, he had cuts, and bruises from Sasuke's punches. Sasuke got out far better end though. He a bruise, a broken nose, but he was fine, and apparently his Uchiha pride satisfied. Sakura, and Ino were pissed at Naruto for having touched their Sasuke-kun, and that he was going to be in big trouble.
Konoha, Residential district 4:00pm
Naruto, however got off with a warning, a slap on the wrist for his behavior. However, in his defence he said he felt his eyes hurting during the battle for some strange reason. He had gone to the bathrooms, and looked in the mirror, he could've sworn they flickered red, but blew it off. He was tired, and wanted to just go get something to eat, and besides today was his birthday. Once again he was going to spend it alone. However, he had various activities planned out for himself.
Like for example, go swing on the swings... If no one else was there. Or go get a cake... If the baker did not hat him, or maybe invite friends over, but their parents never allowed them, and Naruto would just try to come up with excuses all night. However, he could not. So he just went to go get some food at Ichiraku, the only place that would give him decent food, but gave it too him free, because him, and Ayame's dad had a good bond, and he even taught Naruto how to cook a little bit in his spare time. Now on a road in Konoha, the blonde hair kid makes his way to the most wanted thing in Konoha, it was not ninja, it was... Ramen.
He sped through the residential area, many people wonder what the red blur was running past them. He had a bright beaming smile on his face. Naruto quickly made it the stall, and went in, there he was greeted by the average cheery couple. "Hey Ayame-Chan, hey Mister Ichiraku." Naruto said with a bright smile, the two looked at him, and smiled. "Hey Naruto, how are you doing today, my, my are you growing shaggy hair" Ayame pointed to Naruto's hair which was becoming longer, it fell just below his ear lobes, it was spiky, and the streaks of black was more present. "I guess so, come on, you know me Ayame-chan, I can't judge myself worth two copper." Naruto spat out in a laugh, Ayame just smiled, and then got into to a thinking pose. "Hmmm I wonder what this day is?" she pondered, trying to get a reaction out of the blonde, she didn't have to wait long, and the blonde immideatly spat out "My birthday!" Ayamae, and Teuichi laughed. The man walked over to Naruto, and gor to high level with the boy, "So what will it be today?" He asked, and Naruto smiled. "Miso Ramen, with Pork Fillet." Naruto declared happily. The old man nodded, got out the needed supplies to make the dish, several customers were watching Naruto. One of them was a masked Jonin with a mask over his face. Naruto looked at the man, and smiled, but the man just returned to his meal.

Genjutsu: D
Ninjutsu: C
General intellect: D

Tai: 5 out of 20
Stamina: 5 out of 20
Intelligence: 1 out of 20
Total: 14.5 out of 100
Notes: the current skill level Naruto has shown puts him in the average of the class, not to low, not to high. However, he requires buffering out Genjutsu arts, and could stand to read a few books, but all he seems to read is stuff about the Kage of the past generations, taking interest mostly in you, and the past Kage. He seems to actually learn faster than normal, but if he does he doesn't show it. We recommend you talk to his parents, or guardian, and have him seek a way to break down any barriers if any he seems to be keeping up. Along with the fact, we believe he has tested positive to bloodline limit, however, we have no idea what it is though. All background checks, and current attempts failed to establish it.
We also recommend Naruto Uzumaki to be put with a special Jonin upon graduation, if he does that is, for that of Taijutsu, or Ninjutsu. Perhaps both, and there are other classes you may sign him onto to test his ability, or even interest in Kenjutsu, tracking, trapping, or even Kinjutsu... The ones that we can legally use. Next semester begins are all in door classes. Chakra theory, Chakra control, Konoha history, and basic knowledge.
It would also seem in the months, or now years that Iruka has known Naruto, he has take it upon himself to train Naruto in his family's Taijutsu, Naruto seems to excel in it, being that it's fast pace, an almost free form fighting style. Iruka relationship to Naruto makes him probably the only true companion he has, and thus should be considered to teach with much a need.
-Academy head
Sarutobi, looked at the letter, and smiled. "Not bad Naruto-chan, not bad at all. So... What to do now?" The old Kage said as he looked out the window, and at his village. "Hmm, it is Naruto's birthday today, I guess i could treat him to something, well besides ramen, it seams I guess today is the day he going to have first try at cake." Hiruzen said, and he looked towards his secretary. "Miss Nama, please see to it that this order is delivered to the local baker, and as such the details as well." the kage said as he turned around to see a black haired women with red banes in her hair. She bowed, and he began to write on a piece of paper. When he finished he handed her the paper, and she sped off immediately. The Kage sighed, and sat down. Then smirked, "well i guess i better get to Naruto-chan's house, and get his party ready."
Mean while, outside of Konoha. 4:40pm
"Leave me alone!" a little red headed girl shouted as she ran through the forest, she was being chased by a group of bandits, and her body was sore, aching in agony. She felt like she just a entire marathon, and then some. "Get that little *****" one of the man shouted, she could be no older than seven, just like Naruto back in the village. However, right now she was trying to escape her certain capture. "Leave me alone *******s!" she shouted, this caused the men behind to start throwing rocks, attempting to stop her from getting any further.
A rock connected with her leg, and she was sent to the ground. She looked up, she brought her hands up, and she began to contort them into symbols. "Shit, lets just ****ing kill the little *****!" the man with a bandanna yelled, but as soon as he did the girl unleashed a massive torrent of water from her mouth, blasting the man away. She then got up, and began to run again. She soon came upon a village, and allowed herself a brief moment of victory, but it was brief. She felt a huge weight come on top her, and felt rope being tied around her hands. "NO! I'm not going back, get off of me *******!" she screamed, hoping someone, or anyone could help her, but soon more of the men came down from the trees. She was cursing, shouted, and all around throwing a fit, trying to get someone to hear her.
Smack
The resounding sound of flesh, hitting flesh hard was heard, and girl was crying. She had a big red palm print on the side of her face, her red hair was in disarray, and she was frightened. "Ok slave girl, you want to die!" the man that smacked her shouted, he brought a dagger out. The girl began to back up fast, she was scared, and her eyes was wide. The man that held the tagger walked over to her, and held it in reverse grip. "M-Master please... I-I'm sorry, please" the girl begged. The man sneered as he got closer. He brought the knife up to her neck, and pressed it on her throat. "Your sorry? Look here you little *****, do you think I care, besides your not going to die, but your going to wish that we killed your worthless ass a long, long time ago." he snickered, and he cut a shallow cut into her neck, a little bit of blood trickled. She was scared as the men around grabbed her, and tied her to the tree. They began to throw kunai, barely missing the girl.
Unknown to them, a pair of azure eyes, and they sped off back to the village.
A few minutes earlier.
Naruto had got done eating at Ichiraku, and decided to take a walk. He was tired, but he was willing to go to his special place in the forest. It wasn't really that hard to find... For him at least. It was never seen by many villagers, and seemed to be a secluded spot. He had discovered while being chased by bullies just a year ago. When he found he never seen such beauty. It was grove, but not too big either. It had a small fresh water pond, and at night he got to see the fireflies dance, what he akin to dance anyway. He would take the time to actually practice his taijutsu, and kunai throwing there. He had a specific tree picked out, and a stash of shuriken, and kunai. He loved it, it always got him out of bind, or a place to relax, and it helped the pond seam to be a hot bath as well, seemingly self heated by something. Naruto did not know it, but he wish he could.
He had brought a spare change of clothing with him, he planned to take dip inside the said pond when he got there, and possibly stay until he could see the fireflies. They only came once a week, and that's when he would go to see them, and that was his little slice of nirvana. He would never give it up, and if he ever had a family he swore to bring them dare, possibly build a house there, which goes to say, he had a little hut he had built near the clearing, and it would seem that he enjoyed staying on the weekends, away from the hate, and ignorance. A chance for his mask to come off, he looked like happy, and he smiled a lot. However, did anyone ever bothered to know why? Why he smiled, why he pranked so much, he knew that the Hokage knew the answer, and that the man himself was the only one besides three others that could see through his mask. Ayame, Iruka, and much to his Ire Sasuke. Speaking of which the little prick seems to get off making Naruto mad, and making him get into trouble. Today was not their first scuffle, in fact it was probably the hundredth time they fought. However, he always thanked Kami that if he got out of there, he had a place of rest to go to.
He walked the clear secluded path, a path that was only taken by ninja, who usually blurred past the trees, running like a bat out of hell. However, there have been recent reports saying that slave traders have been in the area as well. Naruto always kept a hidden kunai on him, just in case one of his beatings ever got dicey, or with the person being drunk.
That's when he heard the scream, he looked around at first scared, then he heard it again. "Leave me alone" was the clear massage he heard, he slowly went into the bushes as a girl his age ran by, and bandits quickly in transit. Naruto's Azure eyes looked on in horror as she got caught. He wanted to help her, but found himself unable to move, so he slowly skulked away, but that's when he heard her plea, and Naruto never liked to see anyone hurt, or in pain. However, this was way out of his league, and he knew it. However, this did not stop him from sneak around. He saw them tie her to a tree, and throw kunai at her, barely missing.
Naruto now had a choice... Run, and get help risking the possibility of her being gone when they ever got back, or if they ever got back here. Stand, and try to fight them off, and probably die in the process. That's when Naruto mind went into overdrive, and his facial expression becoming serious. He grabbed his hidden Kunai, and waited, he waited, and waited. Then he saw the opportunity. The six men that were torturing took a second breather, and that's when Naruto came spiraling out of the bushes. He was running as fast as he could. He knew if he was too slow he would get caught. His eyes began to get tunnel vision, and slowly, but surely he closed the gap between the girl, and him. What seemed slow to him, was fast to other's his blood was pumping, and he knew any stop would prove fatal, he blurred past them un-noticed, and brought his hidden dagger down on the ropes, cutting them. That's when the girl felt the ropes loosen, the men then moved around to back of the tree, not noticing that Naruto had placed a paint bomb tag on the ground. As they neared it, it exploded, and red paint went everywhere. Naruto came flying out of the bushes again, this time he could be seen as he stopped, and grabbed the girl. He was strong for his age, and he knew it. Where most people could lift only meek one hundred pounds, he could've lift hundred and sixty, even up to two-hundred.
The girl was frightened, but if this boy was trying to save her she didn't fight him, and allowed him to cut her ropes when he sat her down. "Are you ok?" the blonde boy asked her, and she nodded. Naruto looked into her eyes, very dark blue, and had a alluring factor to them. Naruto then to his own shock, pushed her just in time for a kunai to whiz by. "Shit, those damn *******s are close." she cursed, and Naruto looked at her. "What?!" she yelled, Naruto shook his head. "Nothing, never heard a girl my age curse before, but we got to get out of here... And I got plan."
"A plan..." The girl said, and Naruto nodded, wrapping three paint bomb tags around his kunai.
"Yeah... Your looking at the most unpredictable person in Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto" he said with gusto, the girl looked at him. "I'm, Tayuya... I don't know who my parents are..." she said, and Naruto frowned.
That's when three shuriken whizzed towards them, and Naruto grabbed the girl, and began to run with her. "Less talky, more runny." Naruto said, and Tayuya held on. The men were closing in, if the red paint wasn't on them, then they would be red from how pissed they were. Tricked by a little kid, how ****ing shameful was that?
End of chapter... Nope
Omake 1
Naruto, and Icha icha
It was another day for Naruto, he had broken into the Hokage's office to set a prank up, and then he saw something strange, a book laying on the desk, the old man had just gone to the bathroom, and Naruto knew it would take him a while so he just, peeked at the book. What he saw confused him. Women baring there bodies, what kind of book was this? Naruto looked at it, and got a nose bleed. He smirked devilishly. He planted a directional paint tag, it wouldn't get on the book, but if the old men was going to read that said page, then he'd be whiter than a ghost... Literally.
So the next day, Naruto awoke to a white Hokage, and screamed his head off. Thinking his Jiji had died, and became a ghost. He was meant to put the red tag in, but put in a white one instead. So for the entire day, his Jiji pranked him back, but gave him a fear of ghosts.
