Disclaimer: I do not and will not ever own Naruto!
- 9:00 Konoha Council Room-
In the early hours of the next morning The Council room in Konoha was busy with activity as all the Clan Heads of all of Konoha's major Clans along with several Civilian Council members, as well as the ANBU Commander and the Shinobi Elders Homura, Koharu and Danzo.
They had all been gathered here in this early hour due to the Sandaime Hokage had summoned them all for a special emergency Council meeting. Although the strange thing was that none of them knew what was the emergency that the Hokage had summon them for, not even the Hokage's advisors, the Shinobi Elders.
After a little while, once everyone had settled into their seats in the Council room, the Sandaime Hokage entered the room and took his high seat in the Council room.
"Good-morning to you all and thank you all for coming so quickly for this meeting in this early hour on such short notice as I know it must be an inconvenience for you all", spoke Sarutobi.
"What is it that was so urgent that you had to speak to us about Hokage-sama" asked Homura.
"The reason why I have gathered you all here today is to inform you all that yesterday a new Genin hopeful, a young boy in fact, has arrived and will be participating in the Academy exam today to become a Genin of our village", answered Sarutobi.
"Surely you did not call this meeting just to tell us this?" asked Koharu.
"Actually I did Koharu" replied Sarutobi surprising many at the Hokage calling a meeting for such a trivial matter.
"Then there must be something different about this boy then, if you called this meeting to tell us about him", spoke Nara Shikaku who was on the verge of falling to sleep during this "troublesome" meeting.
At this Sarutobi smirked "Trust a Nara to hit the nail with the hammer"
"You are quite correct Nara-san as there is indeed something different with this boy", answered the Sandaime with a growing smirk, "This boy has lived and has been trained outside the village for his whole life".
"And you have let this boy, who is an outsider to our village in it, and allowed him to try and become a Shinobi for our village without even scanning him or interrogating him", spoke Danzo with a raised eyebrow. "It seems that you are getting senile in your old age Sarutobi, to let a boy from outside our village, who you say has been trained in the Shinobi arts outside our village, and let him try and become a Shinobi for our village. For all we know the boy could be a deep cover spy sent into our village to spy on it".
Letting the insult about his ability to run the village slide, Sarutobi decided to answer Danzo remark as he was going to enjoy the look on Danzo we he revealed Naruto heritage (or at least partly reveal it).
"The scanning and the interrogation was not needed Danzo as I know who the boy is and his mother who trained him", replied Sarutobi with his smirk growing all the more.
"And exactly who is this boy Hokage-sama?" asked Yamanaka Inoichi who was starting to get annoyed, as the Hokage had yet to answer the question, as to who was this boy and why he was being allowed to skip the four year long training in the Academy and go right to the exam.
"The boy name is Naruto or to be more precise…Senju Naruto", said Sarutobi with a grin, as he saw the utter shocked and stunned looks on all the Council members face's.
Nara Shikaku was now wide awake and wide eyed,
Yamanaka Inoichi jaw had dropped and hit the Council table,
Akimichi Choza who had been eating some buttered toast had actually stopped eating and dropped it, showing how shocked he was, since to see a Akimichi dropped food was like seeing a hyperactive Nara.
Aburame Shibi dark sunglasses actually slide down enough to allow the Sandaime to see that the Aburame Clan head had dark grey eyes.
The Civilian Council members were gapping like fish out of water,
Homura and Koharu were wide eyed and gapping in disbelief, while Danzo was simply wide eyed.
Inuzuka Tsume was utterly speechless, which was a first as usually the Inuzuka Clan head was never quiet for very long and was often the most vocal member of the Council (well maybe except for the Civilian members when something upset them).
Although the ANBU Commander mask kept Sarutobi from seeing the ANBU Commander shocked face his keen Shinobi hearing, did allow him to hear a gasp of utter astonishment coming from the ANBU Commander.
Finally Hyuga Hiashi who's face had a look of being utterly flabbergasted which was the most humorous looking face among the Council members, since it was very rare to see the normally neutral and unreadable Hyuga Clan head to be so emotional and utterly out of his normal controlled element.
Soon enough the Council members got out of their shock where there was much shouting and arguing in the room among them was Furyoku Kagato who was the loudest one shouting.
"That's impossible!" cried Kagato in utter disbelief, "…Tsunade-sama is the only remaining member of the Senju Clan…he must be an impostor".
"I can assure Council member Furyoku that Naruto is indeed a Senju in both name and in blood", replied Sarutobi calmly.
"And how exactly can you be so certain of this Sarutobi", asked Koharu as she found it hard to except that there was another Senju member other than Tsunade alive, without any of them knowing about it. Although still at the same time she knew that her former team-mate Sarutobi was no fool and could not be easily tricked, hence he had to have some kind of hard evidence that proved this astonishing claim.
"That is rather simple Koharu…I was there when he was born…and I know his mother" replied the Sandaime. Who was smirking again as he was going to enjoy the looks of shock and disbelief on the Council faces once he told them.
"And who is his mother?" asked Shikaku who had already guessed who it was as it was obvious to him and a few other Council members.
"His mother is my former student…Tsunade", replied Sarutobi calmly as if he was discussing the weather with them, while inwardly he was laughing his head to at the faces of the Council members as they could not believe what their Hokage had just said.
As the Council were frozen in complete shock, while a certain Nara Clan head sighed and muttered silently to himself so that no-one could hear him "Troublesome Hokage".
Once the Council member got over their shock the Council once again was filled with load voice's of arguing and shouts of disbelief.
Another Civilian Council member named Akira Shin who was able shout over the other voices and cry out in disbelief, "TSUNADE-SAMA HAD AN CHILD!" to which the old Hokage just nodded.
"Hokage-sama when did this happen", asked the stunned Homura as he still could not get over his head that Tsunade actually had a child. As he along with many others thought that the Senju line would die with her, as she never tried to have any children with anyone after the death of her lover Dan. Although it was not because of lack of effort on Koharu and his part, as both of them, along with several other members on the Council had tried dozen of times to arrange for her to have children with several different Shinobi candidates. That would help her produce strong children who would become powerful Shinobi's when they grew up.
Unfortunately for them, Tsunade had stubbornly refused all of them and left the village shortly after with her new apprentice, the niece of her late lover Dan, Shizune and along with her was their hopes of rebuilding the Senju Clan. But now with this revelation their hopes were restored, at the Senju Clan line continuing to exist.
"Tsunade had Naruto about twelve years ago in this village, as she was brought into it secretly", answered Sarutobi.
"And why were we not informed of this, when she was giving birth?" asked Danzo with a neutral expression, although inside he was very knee on learning everything he could about Naruto. As he knew that Naruto would be an extremely valuable asset to both him and the village if was trained and used correctly.
"The reason why no-one was told about this was because Tsunade wished it to be kept quiet and made me along with her apprentice Shizune and Jiraiya not to tell anyone", replied the old Hokage.
"And why were we not told? We had a right to know this" said Koharu as she believed that news such as this should have been revealed to them the moment it happened. As she and Homura believed that as members of the Council and as former students of Senju Tobirama, the Nidaime Hokage they had a right to know of a new Senju heir being born. As the boy was the best hope of rebuilding the Senju Clan, the main founders of Konoha and was the descendant of both the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokages.
"Tsunade believed that if she told you or other members of the Council, you would try and force her to stay here and raise Naruto here" said Sarutobi.
"And why should he not? The boy is of Senju blood and heir to the Senju Clan and he belongs in Konoha as it was his Clan who were the main founders of our village. If the boy had stayed then he could have been protected here and have gotten anything he needed, Tsunade took an unnecessary risk in leaving the village with the boy. If the other villages had learned of his existence and found out that he was living outside the village, then they would have either sent Shinobi's to kidnap the boy so to rebuild the Senju Clan in their village's or they would have sent Shinobi's to kill the boy and prevent him rebuilding the Clan in Konoha, " replied Koharu.
"Tsunade believed that the risk was worth taking, which I agreed with as well at the time, since if Naruto had stayed in the village and the people learned of Naruto's lineage, they would have treated Naruto like royalty and given him everything and denied him nothing", answered Sarutobi.
"And why should he not be treated as so, the boy is the sole heir to the most noble Clan in all of Konoha", spoke another Civilian member named Tanaka Soka.
"Because if Naruto had been raised here, with all that fame and attention especially at a young age, it would be enough to turn any child's head, where Naruto would grow up spoiled, arrogant and would not value hard work. Since he would believe that just because he is descendant of powerful Shinobi's he would be handed power on a silver planter. Naruto would also believe that he is better that others because of his heritage and belittle and look down on others, who he believe were not worthy of being around him. Which many people would help encourage by continuing praising him for being the heir to the Senju Clan. Hence this is why I believed it was best that Naruto was raised outside the village where he would be away from all that and would be raised as a normal boy. Who respects others and does not believe he is better than them because of his noble heritage", spoke Sarutobi, who was glad that the plan worked as Naruto had become a perfectly normal and respectful young man just as he had hoped for.
After hearing The Sandaime Hokage's reasoning many of the Council members such as the Clan heads, the ANBU Commanders and even most of the Shinobi Elders had to agree that what the Sandaime and Tsunade had done was indeed the correct decision. As the last thing that they needed was a spoiled and arrogant Shinobi who would most likely embarrass or shame the Senju Clan and their village.
But still there was some that still did not like the fact that the Knowledge of Naruto's existence was kept from them.
"But Sarutobi the fact remains, that you and Tsunade took a great risk with the boy's life, where he could have been easily killed or kidnapped by our enemies had they learned of his existence", spoke Koharu.
"True there was some risk Koharu, but not as great as you claim…As Tsunade took every precaution, when keeping Naruto existence a secret and not to attract attention to them. The fact that Naruto is here, alive, healthy and safe, shows how she was able to do it and raise him to be a happy, healthy and normal boy", said Sarutobi with a hit of pride, as Tsunade had raised Naruto to become a fine young man showing she had been a good mother to him.
Deciding to change the subject a little Shibi decided to ask something that he had been wondering since he learned of Naruto being Tsunade's son. "Excuse me Hokage-sama, but I have been wondering who is Naruto-sama father?"
At this question much mutter began with the Council as many of them had forgotten that fact and were now curious as to who was Naruto's father.
"I'm afraid I do not know", lied Sarutobi, "As Tsunade refused to tell me, who was Naruto's father. Although she told me before she gave birth that Naruto's father was dead".
Upon hearing this many of the Council members were unhappy, but the soon got over it as it was not really important who Naruto's father was.
At the same time though Sarutobi was smirking inside his head, as he imaged to look of shock that Council members would have if he told them who Naruto's father was. But he quickly pushed that thought aside as he knew that if he did tell the Council then it would most likely be leaked to the rest of the village. Where the people would be practically bowing to Naruto on hands and knees wherever he walked, because of his heritage and he would be hounded by an endless amount of families that would try had have Naruto marry one of their daughters, so to improve their social status. Not to mention other villages like Iwa would eventually find out and they would send out countless assassins after Naruto for revenge for what the Yondaime did to them and to prevent him from growing up and becoming a threat to them.
"It seems then that Fate must love Ironies…spoke Hiashi and gaining everyone's attention, "…As it seems that there are now only two members each, belonging to the Senju and Uchiha Clans. Where the youngest members and heirs of both Clans are in now in Konoha and are now in the same Graduation Class. While the other members of each Clan's are living outside the village, where one is a wanted S-Class missing-nin and the other is living in self-imposed exile".
At this much murmuring was heard in the Council room, as many had to agree with the Hiashi's statement about it being ironic. As it was very likely that the legendary rivalry of the Senju and Uchiha Clans could once again restart with those two boys, in the very village that their ancestors help built together. Especially if you consider the fact that they are in the same Class together and will be on either the same team or on rival teams, where if you also consider their pedigree. As both boys have the same blood as some of the most powerful Shinobi's that have ever lived running through their veins. Then you can no doubt expect that both their Clans ancient rivalry for one another would remerge again in them.
"Hokage-sama!" spoke the ANBU Commander "If I may ask? Do you know what exactly young Naruto-sama is capable of and what his mother has taught him?"
This question of course got much muttering from the Council members as they were all curious to know what the new Senju heir was capable of doing and if he had inherited any of his mother's talents.
"I'm afraid not, as Naruto would not say, but he has told me that my other former student Jiraiya would be arriving here in a few days time to inform me as he helped to train Naruto", replied the old Kage truthfully.
Although many on the Council were disappointed at not knowing what Naruto was capable of, there was still exciting muttering to be heard in the room. As the fact that Naruto had been trained by not one but two Sennins, told them that Naruto could be very powerful for his young age. Many even began to mutter that Naruto could be the Senju Clan version of Itachi, although without the whole going mad and killing off his Clan part.
For the next few minutes the Council continued to discuss different things about Naruto, but after awhile Sarutobi decided to end the meeting as the Council knew all that they needed to know for now.
When the meeting ended, the Council members left the Council room continued to mutter amongst themselves about Naruto. Many who had sons around Naruto age planed to try get them to befriend Naruto, while those with daughters planned to try and get their daughters to get close to him in the hopes that they could eventually setup an arrange marriage between their daughters and him. Since sooner or later Naruto would have to marry and have children of his own so to rebuild and continue on the Senju line.
-9:30 at Konoha's Academy-
Today was a big day for Chunin tutor Iruka who was standing in front of twenty-nine young Genin hopefuls who had been his students for the past four years. Many of which he was going to miss as he had grown quiet found of them all.
As he looked over them he saw several that he knew would pass and become Genins and possible great Ninja's in time. Students such as Uchiha Sasuke who was the last surviving Uchiha member of the once great Uchiha Clan in the village, who had been wiped out by Sasuke's older brother Uchiha Itachi. Another person was Nara Shikamaru who despite his lazy habits, where he would do hardily any work and spend most of his time sleeping, had a brilliant mind and was a tactical genius. Also another note worldly student was Aburame Shino, who was like all Aburame Clan members, who were logical calm thinking Shinobi's with sound minds and good tactical skills.
After a few minutes of reminiscing Iruka believed he had done enough and decided to get things going for the exam, where he then signalled to his assistant Mizuki that it was time to begin the exam.
"Good morning Class" spoke Iruka, where the class responded in like.
"Now as you know today is the last day that we will be together as a class and I hope you are all ready from your exam now as you know we wil-"said Iruka, but was then interrupted by a knock on the door.
Iruka then turned to the door and told the person to enter where a young spiky blond haired boy in a Green zip up top and green trousers and a sword on his back came in.
"Excuse me are you Iruka-san" asked the boy, where Iruka just nodded, "I was told that you were expecting me" replied the boy.
Upon hearing this Iruka suddenly remembered that a few weeks ago the Hokage had told him that a boy from outside village would be attending the Academy exam as he had been given special permission by the Hokage to do so. Iruka mentally slapped himself for forgetting this, where he then looked over to the boy and smiled.
"Yes of course forgive me, I forgot that you would be joining us today", said Iruka.
"That is ok Iruka-san, I understand…..also I was told by the Jiji to give you this" said Naruto who got a confused look from Iruka and everyone else in the room (excepted for Sasuke, Shino and Shikamaru as they hardily ever show any sign of interest in anything) when Naruto said Jiji.
"And may I ask who is your Jiji?" asked Iruka.
"The Sandaime Hokage of course" said Naruto plainly.
"That's a lie!" cried a long pink haired girl as she stood up and pointed at Naruto accusingly."The Hokage has only one Grandson and he is only eight".
Naruto turned to the girl and looked at her angrily as he hated be called a liar when he wasn't lying, "I'm not lying. Jiji may not be my Grandfather by blood, but he is the closest thing to one that I have as he was like a father to my mother… "HERE"…..this explains everything", said Naruto as he then turned and handed Iruka the note that Sarutobi gave him yesterday.
Iruka took the note and spent the next few minutes reading what the Hokage had said on it, when he finished, Iruka eyes were as wide a saucers, where he turned to Naruto who just nodded telling him it was true. Iruka knew it wasn't a fake as he knew the Hokage's writing, but he still had a hard time believing what he had just read and just spent the next two minutes staring at Naruto. This of course greatly annoyed him as he didn't like people staring at him as it felt creepy.
"Iruka-sensei what's wrong?..." asked and blond haired girl named Ino "…what was in that note….and why are you staring at that boy", she continued to ask as she hated being ignored and kept out of some juicy gossip and this look definitely looked liked the juicy kind.
Iruka quickly got over his shock and then turned to his class although the shock of what he just found out could still be seen on his face.
"Class we have a new student who will be joining us in the exam, who has been trained outside the village with his family. Hence he has been given special permission by the Hokage himself to be allowed to skip the standard Academy training years and go right to the graduation exam to become an official Shinobi of Konoha…", spoke Iruka where he would have continued had Kiba not interrupted him.
"WHAT?" cried Kiba, who was angry that this "kid" who came out of nowhere was given special permission by the Hokage to skip the four years of training that the rest of them had to do. Even Sasuke was annoyed by this as he was never given that offer and he was the last Uchiha in Konoha.
"As I said Kiba, he has been training with his family outside the village and the Hokage feels that he is more than ready to take the Academy exam. Due to his training with his family and to put him in the proper training programme of the Academy would just hinder his growth", replied Iruka calmly.
"Then who they hell is this guy!" said Kiba angrily as he pointed at Naruto and glared at him, "And what the hell makes him so much more special than us to be allowed to skip the Academy training years that the rest of us did", said Kiba and was backed up by his K9 partner Akamaru who barked in agreement.
"His name is Naruto…Senju Naruto" replied Iruka shocking everyone in the room including Iruka assistant Mizuki.
"It is nice to meet you all" spoke Naruto as he bowed respectfully to the class.
"But Iruka-sensei that's impossible! ...you said that the only remaining member of the Senju Clan was Tsunade-sama of the Sennin" said the long pink haired girl in surprise.
"Well Sakura I'm afraid that I was misinformed, as Naruto here is indeed a member of the Senju Clan as he is Tsunade-sama son" answered Iruka shocking everyone in the room further, as none of then even knew that Tsunade of the Sennin had a child.
For the next few minutes everyone in the room minus Iruka just stared at Naruo in a mixture of wonder and awe, which greatly annoyed Naruto.
"A member of the legendary Senju Clan, and the son of one of the Densetsu no Sannin (Legendary Three Ninja's), Perhaps he might be worth some time and actually be a challenge…unlike the rest of these losers". Thought Sasuke as he eyed Naruto with a calculated look and measured him up, so to see if he was worth his time.
"Tsunade-sama had a son! ...Orochimaru-sama will want to know this" thought Mizuki.
"Now Naruto if you please will you sit up at the top next to Hinata over there so that we can begin the exam", said Iruka.
"Naruto nodded and even smiled at the Chunin tutor as he was glad that Iruka treated him like any other student and didn't call him "Naruto-sama". Although his smile quickly faded when he saw that everyone in the class were staring at him as he went up to his seat to the young Hyuga girl called Hinata.
"Ohayou Hinata-san it's nice to meet you", said Naruto with a friendly smile and held out his hand in friendship.
Hinata of course being very shy and insecure and was very hesitant to say anything to someone from such a famed, renowned and powerful Clan (one more renowned, powerful and famous than her own) as well as the son of the strongest Kunoichi in Konoha if not the entire world. Hence it was only naturally for her to be intimidated by him, as she was afraid of saying or doing something wrong that would make him angry at her and her Clan, making her an even greater shame and failure to her father and to her Clan.
"K-K-Konnichiha N-N-N-Naru-Naruto-sa-sama" stuttered Hinata nervously.
"Please call me Naruto as I hate being called Naruto-sama along with the rest of those stuffy titles", replied Naruto with a friendly smile, which of course made the girl blush bright red. At being allowed to call someone of the same if not higher social status as Naruto in such a common title as if they were on equal status or were already well acquainted.
"H-H-Hai, Na-N-Naru-Naruto-s-san", stuttered Hinata again, which caused Naruto smile, which in turn made the girl blush brighter red.
Before either of them could even speak again, Mizuki came up and handed them both the question sheets for the exam.
For the next two and a half hours, Naruto and the others students worked on the exam questionnaire, the questionnaire wasn't all that hard as Naruto had already gone all over this kind of stuff with Shizune and his mother. Once time was up Mizuki came up and collected all the sheets from the students, where Iruka then told them to come outside with them to do the practical parts of the exam, which was something that Naruto was looking forward to.
Iruka then told them that they were going to test them on their throwing and aiming, where they would first throw their Shurikens at the target poll, after which they were then to throw their Shurikens at the three target dummies.
For the next hour each of the students took their turns at the target polls and the target dummies.
Shino hit eight out of the ten targets points on the target poll, and got three out of five target points on the first target dummy, four out of five on the second dummy and four out of five again on the third.
Kiba hit six out of the ten targets points on the target poll, and got three out of five target points on the first target dummy, two out of five on the second dummy and four out of five on the third.
Sakura hit five out of the ten targets points on the target poll, and got two out of five target points on the first target dummy, one out of five on the second dummy and three out of five on the third.
Hinata hit seven out of the ten targets points on the target poll, and got four out of five target points on the first target dummy, three out of five on the second dummy and four out of five again on the third.
Finally the last students remaining were Sasuke and Naruto, Sasuke got all the targets points on the target poll at once, where he threw all ten of his Shurikens at once, where they all hit the targets points' on the target poll dead centre at roughly the same time. Upon seeing this Sasuke's fan girls started to scream and cheer loudly at how their "Sasuke-kun" was so cool and talented and that he was the best. Sasuke for his part ignored the girls screaming, while Naruto cringed at the loud screams, after which he shook his head in annoyance, as his mother had told him all about fan girls and how they were the bane of all true Kunoichi's. He could also not help but be disappointed that all the girls in the class, minus Hinata, were fan girls, which went to show how far the Konoha Academy standards had fallen since his mother's time and it would greatly annoy her when she came to Konoha and he told her this.
Naruto then turned to watch Sasuke as he then threw some more Shurikens at the target dummies where he hit all five target points on all three target dummies. This of course resulted in more screams of joy from Sasuke's fan girls, much to Naruto's annoyance.
After Sasuke was finished, Iruka then called Naruto up, but as Iruka handed Naruto the ten Shurikens he needed to throw for the target poll, Naruto decided to ask Iruka a question.
"Excuse me Iruka-sensei, but I was wondering would it be ok if we threw something else other than Shurikens at the target poll and the target dummies, if we have them.
At this question Iruka began to think it over for a moment, "Well at the target poll you have to throw the Shurikens that I gave you, but with the target dummies, I see no problem as long as they are standard Shinobi weapons and you have them yourself".
Naruto nodded in acceptance as he found it fair, where he then turned to face the target poll and like with Sasuke he threw all ten of his Shurikens at once. Where they all hit the targets points' on the target poll dead centre at roughly the same time, much to the shock and surprise of everyone.
After which Naruto the turned to face the target dummies and took out five Senbons needles and five Kunai's from his pouch, where he held the Senbon needles in his left hand and held the Kunai's in the right hand.
And like with the Shurikens at the target poll, Naruto threw all five Senbon needles and all five Kunai's at once at the first and second target dummies and hit all five target points on each of the dummies dead centre at roughly the same time.
He then quickly took out another five Shurikens and threw them all at once at the last target dummy, where like with the others they hit all five target points dead centre at roughly the same time.
Many of the students were greatly surprised by this as they didn't expect anyone other than Sasuke to get a perfect score like that on the throwing exam.
After seeing this Iruka was just as surprised, but quickly smiled, "It seems that Naruto lives up to his heritage and by judging the look on Sasuke face. It seems that the ancient rivalry of the Senju and Uchiha Clan stills lives on in the last of their descendants", though Iruka. When he turned and saw Sasuke looking at Naruto keenly with a calculating gaze.
Soon after the throwing and aiming test Iruka began the Taijutsu exam, where he started to call out people in pairs and had them fight each other in Taijutsu to see how well their Taijutsu skills were.
For the next forty minutes the students fought each other in Taijutsu where some won and others lost, Naruto watch their fights, but most weren't really worth watching, but even still there were a small few that were.
Some like Hinata's fight against Sakura, where Sakura attacked Hinata with her knowledge of basic Academy level Taijutsu and was easily defeated by Hinata, who used her superior Gentle fist fighting style to quickly disable and defeat Sakura.
Another was Choji against a student named Kōta where he used his size and power to defeat Kōta.
The final one of note worthy attention was Sasuke against another Academy student named Tobio, where Sasuke used his more advance Taijutsu skill and training to completely overwhelm Tobio and defeated him without too much trouble.
Finally came Naruto turn, where funny enough his opponent was Kiba.
When Naruto heard his name being called out with Kiba's, he took his Katana off as he could not wear it on his back during a Taijutsu fight even if he wasn't going to use it. He then gave it to Hinata who was standing next to him and asked her to hold it on for him while he fought Kiba. This of course caused the girl to blush bright red again at being trusted to hold onto Naruto Katana's while he fought Kiba, where she then stuttered to Naruto that she would.
"Hah! Yes! I got that Senju guy, now I can show him who is the top dog here", said Kiba as he was confident that he would beat Naruto.
Kiba's comment was then followed by several barks from his K9 partner Akamaru, who took the barks as encouragement from Akamaru, telling him that he could beat Naruto with no problem.
"Don't worry boy I going to kick this guy butt so badly that he will wish he had stayed home", said a confident Kiba. As he took Akamaru off his head and put him on the ground, as this was Taijutsu only battle and Akamaru could not help him, not that he believed he needed Akamaru's help.
Unfortunately for Kiba if he had listen more carefully to Akamaru instead of listening to what he wanted to hear, he would have heard what Akamaru was really saying, which was Akamaru saying that Kiba should watch out and not underestimate Naruto as he could sense that Nasruto was very strong.
Soon enough Kiba and Naruto were on the fighting platform facing one another,
"I don't care even if you are of the Senju Clan and the son of a Sennin, you're going down and I going send you crying back to your mammy", spoke Kiba confidently.
"Big talk, but then again I expect nothing less from the runt of the litter, who is all bark and no bite" retorted Naruto, which got Kiba angry at the dog insults to him.
When Iruka cried out "Begin" Kiba charged right at Naruto, but before he could even run accross halfway through the gap between him and Naruto, Naruto disappeared within a blink of an eye. Before Kiba could fully realise that Naruto was gone, he then felt a massive overwhelming pain coming from his stomach that almost made him throw up his breakfast. When he looked down he saw Naruto kneeling down and elbowing him in the stomach.
"H-H-Ho-How d-d-di-did y-you…." said Kiba but could not form the words due to the pain, but still Naruto knew what he was trying to say, where he quickly got back up on his feet and looked down at Kiba, who was now keeled over and holding his stomach in pain.
"How did I do that? You ask", said Naruto with a smirk, "Simple really when Iruka-sensei said begin and you charged at me I saw a opening that just screamed at me to attack…and I just did", stated Naruto as if it was nothing.
After which he then left the platform, where Mizuki quickly went onto the platform and went to check over Kiba. At the same time as Naruto was walking off the platform many of the students could not help but stare at him, as many of them could not believe at what they just saw as they all knew that Kiba was no wimp in a Taijutsu battle, but yet Naruto had beaten him like he was nothing.
"Did you see that!" said one student.
"He just disappeared and beat Kiba with a single hit!" said another student.
"He's Good!" spoke another student
"He's spectacular!" said a female student,
"Well come on what to you expect he's "IS" a Senju and "IS" the "SON" of Tsunade-sama of the Sennin" said another female student.
Naruto ignored the students stares and comments, even though he hated them, he knew if he reacted to them it just would encourage them to talk about him more. Although unfortunately had he been paying just a little more attention to them he would have found out that there was now a new fan club being formed out of now many former Sasuke fan-girls. Hence the Senju Naruto fan club was now born, spelling trouble for Naruto in the future as well as Hinata, as many of Naruto's new fan girls did not like how friendly Hinata was with "their Naruto-kun" and how he would talk to her and how she would blush every time that Naruto talk to her.
At the same time Iruka was watching Naruto with nothing short of amazement as he was barely able to follow Naruto movements where he took down Kiba with just one hit, "Incredible! To be so strong at such a young age…but the again I'd expect nothing less from a member of the Senju Clan", thought Iruka.
"So it seems that your are strong..." Though Sasuke as he watched Naruto talk to the shy Hyuga heiress with the same calculating eyes he been watching him since he first saw him, "…You just might be worth fighting and testing myself against Senju Naruto".
Soon after the Taijutsu test Iruka told the class that they would have a one hour lunch break and then they would have the Ninjutsu test.
When Iruka said this Naruto then turned to Hinata, "Hey Hinata would you like to have lunch with me? As I don't know many people here and it would be nice to have some company while having lunch".
"Y-Y-You a-a-ac-actually w-w-want t-t-to have lunch w-with me?" asked Hinata in nervous surprise as she did not think that Naruto would think that she was worth having lunch with.
"Yea, why not? ...We're friends aren't we?" asked Naruto.
"F-F-Friends!" asked Hinata, as she did not have many friends other than her younger sister as most of the other students kept away from her. Thinking that she would not talk to commoners like them as she came from one of the most Noble Clans in all of Konoha, not to mention many of the students thought that Hinata was kind of weird as she hardly ever spoke, always stuttered and never looked at people in the face and always looked down when speaking to someone.
"Yea we are, so come on" said Naruto as he took Hinata's hand, which made to girl turn bright red, where Naruto the led her to a bench nearby.
For the next hour or so Naruto and Hinata talked about different things, well technically Naruto talked and Hinata stuttered. Hinata told Naruto about the different things that there were in Konoha and what happens in it at certain times as well as talked about bits about her Clan.
Naruto in turn talked about some of the things that he did when he travelled with his Mother and Shizune and even told her all about their pet big Tonton, which Hinata found a little strange but did not comment much about it.
As the two talked, they were also being secretly watched by the newly formed Naruto fan club, as they watched Naruto and Hinata many of the girls were jealous of the fact that Hinata got to eat lunch alone with "their Naruto-kun". Many of the girls wanted to go over there and break up the two send Hinata off while they spent time with "their Naruto-kun". But fortunately for Hinata (and them), the smarter members of the club (as smart as fan girls go) convinced the others not to do so as it would most likely cause "their Naruto-kun" to think badly of them for doing so. Besides spying on him and Hinata and listening to Naruto talk about the different things he did with his mother, allowed them to gain more insight on Naruto, which they could use to get close to him to make him theirs.
When Lunch time was over Naruto and Hinata headed back to classroom, where the rest of the class would be waiting to do the Ninjutsu part of the exam.
For the next two hours the students went one by one into a small room in next to the classroom, where Iruka and Mizuki had them do the basic Academy Ninjutsu. Where if they were able to do all three then they would have official pass the exam and become a Genin and if they failed to do all three then they would fail and have to repeat the year.
During the course of the two hours the students came in and out of the small room, some came out with headbands on their heads, while others came out with none with disappointed faces.
Over time Naruto notice many different people had succeed becoming Genin's some like Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Shino, Hinata and much to his surprise Ino and Sakura, who from what Naruto saw where probably the biggest fan girls in the whole class. As all they cared about was dieting so to have the bodies look tin, washing their hair, and making themselves look good and gain Sasuke attention, when Naruto saw them with their headbands on their heads. He just shook his head, since it was the final proof he needed to prove how the Shinobi Academy in Konoha had fallen very low in their standards if they allowed fan-girls like those two become Ninja's for Konoha.
Eventually Naruto's turn came up, after Sasuke came out of the room with a Konoha headband on his head, which caused his fan girls to scream and cry out that Sasuke was the greatest
After Naruto's name was called out by Iruka, Naruto got out of his seat to go over to the room, as he did Hinata wished him luck.
"G-G-Good l-luck N-N-Naruto-san".
"Thanks Hinata".
Soon enough Naruto entered the room, where he found Iruka and Mizuki sitting behind a small wooden table and facing him.
"Ok Naruto to pass this test you need to complete all three standard Academy Jutsu's the Henge (Transformation Technique), Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique) and Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique). Once you have completed that you will have passed and officially become a Konoha Ninja", said Iruka, where nodded just nodded in understanding.
Naruto first did a Henge where he turned into a perfect copy of Iruka, after which Naruto then did a Bunshin no Jutsu, where created a perfect copy of himself. After that he dispelled the Clone and then did a Kawarimi no Jutsu with a broomstick that was at the corner of the room behind Iruka and Mizuki.
"Very good Naruto that was perfect", spoke Iruka with a smile where he the handed Naruto a Konoha headband, who took it gladly and tied it to his head and walked out the room with a smile. When the class saw Naruto coming out with his headband on his head, the newly formed Naruto fan club started to cry and scream out that they new he could do it and that he was the best. Naruto just politely nodded his thanks to them and went to sit next to Hinata who slyly smiled at Naruto passing while Naruto grinned back to her.
Once everyone was done Iruka and Mizuki came out of the small room and gave out the score where in the exam both Naruto and Sasuke tied with the top score of the exam. But since Sasuke did all four years in Academy he would be give the Title of the Rookie of the Year, since the title was given to the student with the highest score which was added by his or her total grade throughout the four years of the Academy and the exam.
Sakura would be given the Title of top Kunoichi as she had gotten the highest score on the paper exam and a perfect in the Ninjutsu, despite getting an average in the throwing and aiming part of the exam and the Taijutsu.
Upon hearing this Naruto had to hold back a groin as this once again proven without a shadow of a doubt that Konoha Academy standards had fallen to an all time low if fan girls like Sakura were the top Kunoichi's.
Finally Iruka then announced that Naruto was the dead last of the class due to the only grade they had for him was the grade of the Graduation exam. Upon hearing this Naruto shrugged his shoulders as he didn't really care about Academy Title like Dead last or Rookie of the year as they meant nothing to him and they meant nothing in the real world. He was actually glad he got the title as it showed that Iruka was being fair and not treating him special because he was a Senju and Tsunade son. If Iruka had tried to give him the Title of Rookie of the year he would have refused it as he knew he would have only given it to him because of his heritage and not because he had earned it.
When Kiba heard that Naruto was the dead last he started to cheer and yell happily.
"HAH!" cried Kiba he pointed up at Naruto, "See… this proves that you're not so hot after all you're the class dope".
"Kiba! …that's enough!" said Iruka angrily, as he did not like Kiba was saying, especially since he hated seeing children making fun of others and making a show out of them. "The only reason Naruto is the dead-last is because we added up your total scores over the four years in the Academy. Where we add them up together to make up the grade and since Naruto only joined us today we only have this score to base him on. If he had been with us the full four years in the Academy, I have no doubt that Naruto would have tied with Sasuke for Rookie of the year as his score in the exam was as high as Sasuke's.
At this remark Kiba just scowled as Iruka had ruined his chance to make a show out of Naruto and pay him back for beating him in their Taijutsu spar and humiliating him in front of everyone in the Class.
"That's ok Iruka-san, I don't really care about his remarks as they mean nothing to me as titles like that dead-last and Rookie of the year mean nothing to me and they mean nothing in the real Shinobi world. Besides my mother's team-mate and my Godfather Jiraiya was the dead-last in his Class and yet later on he along with my mother and their team-mate Orochimaru, became the Sennin, some of the Greatest Shinobi's in Konoha and he is also the strongest one among the three of them", replied Naruto.
Sasuke muttered a grunt in agreement with Naruto as what he said was true and besides he could care less about being named Rookie of the year, as it was a meaningless title to him as well.
"Hah!...your only saying that so to make yourself look like a less of a dope than your are", retorted Kiba as he wasn't going to let Naruto get away without getting back a little at Naruto, even if they were only cheap remarks.
"Kiba!" cried Iruka as he was about to hold the boy back for dentition if he continued like this even if today was his last day here as a student. He was then about to tell Kiba to sit down and be quiet, but stopped when he saw Naruto hold out his hand telling to let him handily Kiba.
"Really Kiba! …Because if I'm the dope, then what does that make you then? Since I did beat you in our Taijutsu spar with just one hit…so wouldn't that make you worse than the class dope?" said Naruto with a smirk on his face. Where the whole class then erupted in laughter at Kiba's humiliating as he had walked right into that one, Kiba himself turned beet red in angry and wanted nothing more than to attack Naruto then and there for making him into a even bigger fool in front of the class. But fortunately for him Akamaru, started barking at him, telling him not to or he get into more trouble than he already was in, hence Kiba sat down and fumed at his seat for the remainder of the day.
Once Class fully ended Iruka and Mizuki bid farewell to the Class, where the students all went out to their parents, who were waiting from them, to greet them and congratulate or comfort their children, whether the passed or failed.
Naruto accompanied Hinata out of the Academy telling her that he would keep her company until her parents came to pick her up. Hinata blushed red from embarrassment and mumbled out that he did not have to as she would be ok by herself, but Naruto insisted as they were friends now, which caused the shy young girl to blush again.
As they waited Naruto saw mothers, fathers or both greet their children as they came out, as Naruto watched then he could not help, but think about his mother and his surrogate Big Sister/Aunt/Godmother Shizune. As this was the first real time that he had been away for so long from either of them and although he would not say it out load he did miss them and wished they were here with him.
As he watched the parents and their children being together, he noticed several of the students pointing at him to their parents, no doubt telling them who he was to them. Where many parents turned to stare at Naruto with looks of shock, amazement and wonder, seeing this Naruto quickly looked away pretending not to notice them, as he did not want to deal with stuff like this right now.
Fortunately for Naruto, a distraction arrived to distract him away from the gawking students and their parents. This distraction came in the form of a tall and very attractive looking raven haired woman, with bright Crimson red eyes, who wore a single red sleeve and white patterned bandages with a ninja fishnet shit underneath it.
When Naruto saw this women he had a small blush on his face as the women was extremely beautiful, where she could easily challenge his mother's beauty when she was young. He also had no doubt that if his Godfather Jiraiya was here right now, he would already be writhing down her description on his notepad and place her as one of the main Characters in his next book.
"Hello Hinata, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, as I was delayed with some things", spoke the women in a polite and kind voice, where she then turned to Naruto and smiled. Showing her crimson coloured lip, which made Naruto blush again, "And who is your friend here?"
Hinata then stuttered out nervously who Naruto was, where the women eyes quickly widened in shock, when Hinata told her who Naruto was. After which Hinata then introduced the women as Yuuhi Kurenai and told him that she was her private tutor that her father had assigned to her and was her escort to and from the Academy.
Naruto politely bowed to Kurenai, telling her that it was a pleasure to meet her, Kurenai of course replied in so and called him "Senju-sama" where Naruto then told her that Naruto would be fine, where Kurenai nodded in understanding and called him so.
After seeing the large group of parents now staring at him Naruto decided to take his leave before he drew any more attention to himself by being her.
After which he bide good-bye to Hinata and Kurenai and told Hinata he would see her tomorrow for the team placements, which cause to girl to blush a smile a little. After which he then Shunshin'd (Body Flickered) away in a whirlwind of leaves, surprising Kurenai and Hinata as well as the rest of the people watching from afar. Since many of them did not expect a Genin fresh out of the Academy to know that Technique.
-Later in the evening in front of the Hokage's Residence-
At near around sunset the people and Shinobi's of Konoha were gathered around in the open area in front of the Hokage's Residence.
They were here because they had all been informed that the Hokage was going to make an important announcement.
Soon enough once everyone had arrived, the Hokage came out of his office accompanied by his advisors Danzo, Homura and Koharu and stood up on the balcony and began to speak to the people and Shinobi's below.
"People of Konoha thank you all for coming here this evening on such short notice", cried the Sandaime in a load voice so that people below could hear him. "Now as you have all been told I have a important announcement to make to you all…although I know that some of you are already aware or have guessed what this announcement is about, but most of you are still unaware, hence I shall tell you now".
"Yesterday morning a young boy arrived in Konoha, to become a Shinobi for our village….now many of you may ask why something like that should matter and cause me to have this gathering. The reason being is because of who this boy is…" said The Sandaime, which cause much muttering and commotions among the crowed, but it was quickly silence when the Sandaime began to speak again.
"…This boy to whom I speak of is Senju Naruto, son of my former pupil Senju Tsunade of the Sennin, Great Grandson to the Shodaime Hokage, Senju Hashirama the main founder of our village. As well as Great, Grandnephew of my Sensei the Nidaime Hokage, Senju Tobirama and Heir to the Senju Clan" announced Sarutobi completely shocking and stunning nearly everyone in the village. As no one could have ever guessed that another member of the Senju Clan existence and was in fact the son of Tsunade the Slug Princess.
Before the people could fully get over their shock and would start shouting why they were only being told now and where has Naruto been the past twelve years, the Sandaime quickly spoke out again.
"Now many of you are no doubt wondering why I 'am only telling you all now and where Naruto has been the past twelve years. The reason is that upon Naruto's birth, Tsunade feared for her son's life, as she feared that her enemies would learn of her son existence and that they would attack him as revenge for her act against them. Hence she kept her pregnancy and her giving birth to a son secret and then went into hiding so that he would be safe, until the time was right for him to come to Konoha to become a Shinobi for Konoha", spoke old Hokage.
Even though the story was not exactly true, it was still believable and everyone accepted it without question as it made sense. Where after hearing the explanation excited chattering erupted in the crowed as it was just revealed to them that Tsunade had a heir and their was now a heir of the Senju Clan where Clan could continue on.
Soon enough Sarutobi called for silence again, where he then asked for the people and the Shinobi's to treat Naruto as a normal person as he did not wish for any special treatment and he also asked them to respect Naruto right to privacy. Although Sarutobi knew that only some would do what he asked (mainly the Shinobi's and some Civilians), many people (mainly Civilians and some Shinobi's) would still go out of their way to treat Naruto like some kind of prince, despite what he said, but it was still worth a short.
Once Sarutobi had finished his announcement, he called the gathering to an end and wished the people a goodnight, where the crowed then began to disperse where many people began to head home. All the while talking amongst themselves what they had just learned.
-Later on that evening in the forest just outside the Konoha walls-
Just outside the main walls of Konoha, in the forest Naruto was travelling back into Konoha, Sarutobi had allowed Naruto to go outside the village to train as he announced Naruto's identity to the people. So that he would not be hounded by the people of Konoha after they learned who he really was.
As he neared the main gate of Konoha, Naruto sense that someone was heading right for him, not knowing who it was Naruto decided to hide and see who it was.
After a minute or so Naruto saw that the person he sensed was Kiba with Akamaru following closely behind him, fortunately for Naruto, Kiba had not smelled him with his enhanced smell as he was to preoccupied with heading to his destination. As Kiba went past him Naruto noticed that he was carrying a scroll on his back, Naruto quickly recognized the scroll as the forbidden scroll of Konoha as his mother had told him all about it when she told him about the History of their Clan. Inside the scroll was a list of extremely powerful Jutsu's, the scroll had been found by his Great Grandfather the Shodaime Hokage, Senju Hashirama before he founded Konoha. The scroll also contained other forbidden Ninjutsu's that were created by the other Hokages over the years.
Naruto knew that if that scroll were ever to fall into the wrong hands or to Konoha's enemies then Konoha would surely be destroyed. Also Naruto started to wonder why Kiba had stolen the scroll from the Hokage's Residence, since as arrogant and as big of a jerk as Kiba was, he was still no traitor. Hence Naruto realised that there was more to this than it appeared.
But before Naruto could even chase after Kiba he sensed another person coming towards him, deciding to see who it was Naruto stayed hidden in the bushes he was in. Soon enough Naruto saw the Chunin Iruka go by, who was clearly chasing after Kiba. Deciding to see the events unfold and in case Iruka needed help Naruto followed him.
As Kiba travelled toward his rendezvous point he could not help but be pleased with himself at completing a task that neither Sasuke nor Naruto were able to do. He remembered Mizuki coming up to him later on after the Academy when he saw Kiba alone. Where he then told him of a special test that only certain students could take, where if the completed they would be given a powerful A rank Jutsu as a prize. He told Kiba that both Sasuke and Naruto had tried and failed the test as they were both allowed to try it since they were from powerful Clans. Mizuki then told him after seeing how Naruto humiliated Kiba in front of the class, he had called in a favour from a friend to allow him a chance to do the test and prove that he was better than both Sasuke and Naruto.
When Kiba heard this he jumped at the Chance of showing up not only Naruto but also Sasuke, soon enough Kiba arrived at the clearing where he waited to meet Mizuki as planned.
But after a minute or two, someone arrived, but it wasn't Mizuki, it was Iruka and he didn't look pleased with him.
"Hey Iruka-sensei I didn't think I meet you here" said Kiba still thinking that this was all part of the test.
"Kiba! ...What the hell do you think your doing?...Do you know what you have just done?" asked Iruka angrily.
"Of course! ..." replied a smiling Kiba, "….I passed the test, that neither Sasuke nor Naruto could pass, and it was a piece of Cake".
"Shocked and confused by Kiba's response, Iruka barely noticed and dodged a giant Shuriken that was thrown at him form behind".
When Iruka turned around he was shocked to see that it was his best friend Mizuki who had thrown the Shuriken at him"
"Kiba… go on ahead and get out of here, Iruka is part of the test and he trying to keep you from passing the test….once I've dealt with him, I catch up with you and you can give me the scroll were you will have passed", said Mizuki.
Believing Mizuki story Kiba nodded and told Akamaru to follow, who was starting to have doubts that what his master/partner was doing and was suspecting that something was wrong. But regardless of his doubts he still followed after Kiba into the forest, when he ran off with the forbidden scroll still on his back.
From his hiding spot behind some trees, Naruto watched to whole event unfold in front of him, he quickly realised after listening to Mizuki's little story to Kiba. That it was Mizuki who was the traitor and had used Kiba's grudge against him to trick Kiba into stealing the forbidden scroll for him.
After Kiba had left, Naruto watch Iruka asked Mizuki why he had betrayed the village as he was Iruka friend and he trusted him. When Mizuki heard Iruka ask, he had just laughed and told him that he was never really Iruka's friend and he had just been using him to further his own career as a Ninja. Where once he realised that he would get no further in rank or gain more power, he decided to steal the Forbidden scroll and go somewhere else and gain more power than he ever would in Konoha.
He also explained that after he saw Kiba's grudge against Naruto, he decided to use it and get Kiba to steal the scroll for him, where everyone would chase after him and he be labelled the traitor. Where he would then met up with Kiba kill him and run off with the Forbidden scroll, where by the time everyone realised the truth it would be too late and he would be long gone.
After hearing this Naruto growled softly at Mizuki and glared at them man, as if there one thing he hated it was traitors as well as those who use people for their own selfish gains and since Mizuki was both. He was on Naruto's list of people he would have no regret beating to a bloody pulp.
For the next few minutes Naruto watch Iruka and Mizuki fight an even battle between one another, but during the course of the fight, Mizuki used a Kawarimi no Jutsu to replace himself with a log when Iruka hit "him" with a Kunai. After which he then ran off into the forest to get the Forbidden scroll off Kiba, seeing this Iruka ran off after him, with Naruto following closely, but secretly behind him.
As Naruto followed Iruka he saw him Henge into Kiba, he then saw him meet up with himself (Iruka), but when "Iruka" asked the disguised Iruka to give him the Forbidden scroll, "Kiba" then attacked "Iruka" and revealed that "Iruka" was Mizuk. After which the real Iruka released his own Henge to show who he really was, the two them fought one another for a short while, until Mizuki got away again, where Iruka decided to chase after Kiba and get him and the Forbidden scroll back to Konoha safely.
Naruto went for follow Iruka, where after a few minutes he saw that Iruka had finally found Kiba with the scroll and Akamaru, seemly he was in a small clearing not far from where Iruka and Mizuki where fighting for the second time. When Iruka arrived, seemly Kiba was arguing with Akamaru about what was going on as seemly Akamaru had concerns about this so called test.
When Iruka arrived he started to talk to Kiba and try convince him that Mizuki had tricked him and that there was no test. After a few minutes it looked liked that Iruka might have gotten through to Kiba, but just as it looked like that Kiba might agree to come back to Konoha with Iruka. A another Giant Shurrican was thrown at Iruka, but this time Iruka was not able to dodge as if he had moved Kiba would have been killed instead, hence the Shurrican hit Iruka in the back wounding him badly.
When Kiba looked up he saw Mizuki on a high tree top grinning sadistically at finally getting Iruka. After which he then jumped off and went over to Kiba with his hand stretched out.
"Kiba, give me the scroll" said Mizuki, with a friendly face on him now to try and convince Kiba to give him the Forbidden scroll. "Come on Kiba you didn't actually believe Iruka in what he said. He was just saying that because he wanted you to fail the test, since he didn't want you to prove that he was better than Sasuke or his new favourite student Naruto, as you saw how he favoured him when he helped humiliate you in front of the whole class.
At this Kiba began to have doubts about what Iruka had told him moment ago as to him what Mizuki was saying did make some sense.
"Kiba….don't listen…to him…run!" groaned Iruka as he was badly hurt from the Mizuki Shurrican.
Akamaru also started to bark a Kiba, telling him not to trust Mizuki and to listen to Iruka and run back to the village.
From his hiding spot Naruto saw that that Mizuki hiding a Kunai behind his back and it ready to use it on Kiba if he gave him the scroll. Seeing this Naruto knew one of two things would happen the first being, that Kiba would give Mizuki the Forbidden scroll, where upon doing so Mizuki would stab Kiba with the Kunai and kill him and then kill the wounded Iruka.
The second out come would also end in a similar outcome, where Kiba would believe Iruka and run back to the village with the Forbidden scroll and Mizuki would chase after him and kill him, before he reached the village after which he would then kill the wounded Iruka. Seeing these two outcomes as unacceptable, as the both ended with Mizuki killing both Kiba and Iruka and getting the scroll and running off with it.
Naruto knew that the only way to prevent this from happening was to enter the situation and stop Mizuki himself.
Quickly coming out his hiding spot Naruto jumped out into the clearing right front of Mizuki and Kiba.
When Mizuki saw Naruto, he began to curse as things just got more difficult with Naruto's arrival, as this was not how he had planned things to go as things had taken far longer than he had planned as well, where if he did not get away soon then more Konoha Shinobi's would arrive or worse still ANBU.
"Kiba, don't give him the scroll, he's tricking you this isn't a test this it's all real, and if you give him the scroll you will be an accomplice to treason and be labelled a traitor to the village", said Naruto trying to reason with Kiba.
As Naruto was saying this Mizuki realised that a golden opportunity had now presented itself to him, with Naruto arriving here, "If I can present not only the Forbidden scroll. But also capture Tsunade-sama son and bring both of them to Orochimaru. Then Orochimaru will reward me greatly with more power than I can even dream of/", thought Mizuki with a small smile on his lips.
"See Kiba, it just like I told you their trying to stop you from passing the exam think about it if this was real, why would Senju be here. He just trying to stop you from passing the test and you showing him up", said Mizuki, hoping to use his dislike of Naruto to get him to give him the scroll.
"Kiba, don't be an idiot, don't give him the scroll", said Naruto as he saw Kiba being hesitant.
"I'm no idiot Senju…and I 'am not going to let you show me up again" cried Kiba angrily, where he dropped the Forbidden scroll took out a Kunai and charged at Naruto as he believed that Naruto was trying to sabotage his chances of showing him up.
"Kiba you baka" thought Naruto as he drew out of his Katana and charged at Kiba with impressive speed for a Genin his age, where he quickly ducked under Kiba's Kunai strike and then came up behind Kiba. Where he then quickly turned his Katana around so that the back of the blade was forward and Naruto hit Kiba in the back of the head with the back of his Katana, knocking Kiba out.
When Kiba collapsed on the ground unconscious, Akamaru ran up to his master/partner side to see if he was ok, which he was.
"Impressive, Senju…but not unexpected from a member of your Clan as well as the son of the Slug Princess", replied Mizuki as he now held the Forbidden scroll in his hands.
Naruto did not respond to Mizuki remark and just got into a stance to prepare to fight Mizuki as he was not going to let him get away with the Forbidden scroll.
Mizuki just smirked, when he saw Naruto getting into a sword stance and prepared to fight him, "Listen kid, you maybe more skilled than the average Genin, but your still only a Genin, while I'm a seasoned and fully trained Chunin", sneered Mizuki.
Naruto of course did not respond to that either and just got ready as he was going to let
Mizuki make the first move, which he did as he put the Forbidden scroll aside, and then took out and threw several small Shurikens at Naruto. Who quickly and skilfully deflected the Shurikens away from both him and the unconscious Kiba and also made sure that they would not hit the wounded Iruka either.
Unfortunately for Naruto the Shurikens were just a distraction, where Mizuki came up from Naruto right hand side to try and knock him out with the blunt side of his Kunai. Fortunately Naruto had saw Mizuki coming towards him at the corner of his eye and was able to spin around in time to block Mizuki's Kunai with his Katana.
For the next few minutes the two of them traded blows against one another with neither giving the other much ground. As this was happening Iruka watched the two of them fight and could not help but be amazed at how Naruto a mere Genin was able to hold his own in fight against a Chunin like Mizuki.
After another minute or so of fighting, both Naruto and Mizuki broke away from one another to take a break, Mizuki was panting slightly, but Naruto on the other hand was perfectly fine. As he had a lot of stamina thanks to the Kyuubi and thanks to his mother's physical and endurance training, hence he could fight like this for ages and still not be out of breath.
"Phant, Phant…. I have to admit kid your more skilled that I thought you were, but your still no match for me and you can't beat me. So why don't you do yourself a favour and give up and come with me quietly and you would get hurt" said Mizuki.
"Thanks for the offer but I don't give up and I don't intend to lose especially to trash like you" said Naruto as he had yet to go all out on Mizuki, and even then all he had to do was keep Mizuki busy for a little longer as other Konoha Shinobi's or ANBU would arrive soon. But when he looked over the wounded state that Iruka was in he was worried that he might go into shock and lose consciousness from the blood loss from the wound or the pain of the Shuriken imbedded in his back. Naruto then decided to end this now and help heal Iruka.
"Sorry Mizuki, it been fun and all, but it time to end this", said Naruto
"Hah! ... Don't go making idle threats like that kid…You can't beat me", replied Mizuki, as he was confidant that he could beat Naruto and still get away with both him and the Forbidden scroll and deliver them to Orochimaru.
"I don't make idle threats…..and I show you how I going to beat you", replied Naruto as he imbedded his katana to the ground and then did a hand sign and cried out "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multipliable Shadow Clone Technique)". After which a massive cloud of smoke appeared in the Clearing, where once it dissipated, both Iruka and Mizuki where shocked to see over a thousand Naruto's surrounding and filling the clearing all with their swords out and ready to fight.
"Incredible! ...Naruto knows how to do and has fully mastered a forbidden A rank Jutsu, as all those clones are real not illusions", thought Iruka in amazement.
"Impossible…where did all these clones come from…how could he even create so many?" cried Mizuki in compete disbelief.
"GET HIM!" cried Naruto and pointed the now terrified Mizuki, where all one thousand Naruto Shadow Clones attacked at once and pounced on Mizuki, who stood no chance against all of them and could only scream out as they bet him into a pulp.
Once Mizuki had been dealt with, Naruto went over to Iruka and pulled out the giant Shuriken out of his back and began to heal him. At first Iruka was surprised that Naruto knew how to heal him, but reminded himself that Naruto was Tsunade son, so it would be natural that she taught him some healing Ninjutsu.
Fortunately the wound was not as bad as Naruto had though as Iruka flack jacket had protected him from any serious harm, where Naruto was able to heal the small wound.
"Are you ok Iruka-sensei?" asked Naruto as he helped Iruka sit-up on a nearby tree.
"Yes I'm fine Naruto thank you" replied Iruka with a small smile, where he then looked at the now beaten and battered form of his so-called best friend Mizuki and could not help but sigh sadly. For even though Mizuki was never really his friend, Iruka had still considered him as his friend, hence it did not lessen or ease the feeling of betrayal and sadness that their friendship meant nothing to Mizuki at all.
"Are you sure your ok sensei?" asked Naruto at seeing the sad look on Iruka face.
At this Iruka smiled again, but it was a sad smile, "Yes Naruto I will be alright in a little while" said Iruka.
It was then that Akamaru then came up to Naruto and started to paw at Naruto's leg, asking him if his master/partner was ok. When Naruto felt and saw what the pup was doing, he quickly realised what the pup wanted to know.
"Don't worry little guy, Kiba will be fine I just knocked him out with the back of my Katana and he waken up in a few minutes time…..although he will have a quite a headache when he does". At this Akamaru barked happily that Kiba would be ok and went back to Kiba to be there when he woke up, after which Iruka then turned and spoke to Naruto.
"Naruto I want to thank you for not only stopping Mizuki, but also saving both my life and Kiba's".
"That's ok sensei…" replied Naruto with a smile, "…You would have done the same from me, besides what are friends for". This of course caused Iruka to smile and nodded where he and Naruto shook hands.
After which, a team of ANBU arrived in the clearing and were lead by a female ANBU wearing a Porcelain a Fox mask and had long read hair that fell down to her rear.
"Iruka-san are you ok? ... and what happened here?" asked the red haired female ANBU.
Iruka spent the next few minutes explaining to the ANBU what had happened, where he told then how Mizuki tricked Kiba into stealing the Forbidden scroll and how Naruto fought and defeated him.
After hearing this, the ANBU were impressed at how Naruto was able to defeat Mizuki so easily, even though Mizuki was only a low level Chunin it was still impressive.
"Pretty good kid … thanks for the help", spoke Fox, where she then ordered one of her team to pick up Mizuki and send him into interrogation. While she and others would escort Iruka to the Hokage's Residence and bring both the unconscious Kiba and Forbidden scroll back to the Hokage's Residence as well, so that the Hokage could debrief both Kiba and Iruka personally. She also told Naruto he was not needed as the Hokage had told her to let Naruto go to which Naruto nodded and left to return to his apartment, where the ANBU and Iruka followed suit and headed back to the Hokage's Residence.
-Hokage's Office-
From his mystical crystal ball, Sarutobi had watch the whole event from the moment that Kiba had exited outside the village wall to the moment that Naruto comforted and defeated Mizuki and to when the ANBU arrived.
After the event Sarutobi turned off his mystical crystal ball and was quite proud of his surrogate Grandson, for stopping Mizuki and for how strong he had become, although he knew that he had yet to see Naruto's true potential.
"Barely even in the village forty-eight hours and you have already created quite a stir in the village Naruto, something that has not been seen in it for decades. I look forward to what else you will do to liven the village up, while you here", though Sarutobi with a slight chuckle as he waited for Iruka and the ANBU to arrive in his office.
