Chapter 1
Orochimaru was having an awful day. First, his mission had the wrong Intel, second, Jirayia was off doing his own thing outside of the village; and, lastly, Orochimaru was called immediately to the Hokage's office. He walks into the Hokage's building/tower. The Hokage's secretary lets Orochimaru right in.
"Oh, Orochimaru, good timing. Please, come in." The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, greets.
"What did you need to see me for, Sensei?" Orochimaru asks. He had already turned in his mission report.
"I need your help, Orochimaru; or, I should say, he does." Hiruzen says pointing to the crib that was by his desk. Orochimaru walks over to the crib and looks in. Laying in the crib, was a cute blonde haired baby. The baby had three whisker marks on each cheek.
"Is this…" Orochimaru asks in awe.
"Yes, this is Minato's and Kushina's son, Naruto Uzumaki." Hiruzen answers verifying what Orochimaru thought.
"This means he is the new vessel of the, Kyubi no Kitsune. The Nine-Tailed Fox." Orochimaru states.
"Yes, that's correct." Hiruzen confirms watching Orochimaru's reaction. Hiruzen did not have to worry, Orochimaru's reaction was just one of awe; and, he found the baby cute. Nobody would know it just by looking, but Orochimaru loved children. He had adopted Anko already.
"I would like you to adopt little Naruto here." Hiruzen asks hopeful. Orochimaru's head snaps up and he looks at his ex-sensei.
"Really?" Orochimaru asks kind of hopeful.
"Yes, nobody else will take him in. The Clan families cannot, because of the Civilian Council. They believe him to be the demon itself. I am pained to say my former teammates think the same way as them. You are his only hope, since Jirayia is busy outside of the village; and, Tsunade leaving the village after her lover, Dan dying." Hiruzen explains with a tired sigh.
"I see, well, I have always hated the Civilian Council. Fine, I will adopt little Naruto here." Orochimaru says with a warm grin. Looking at Naruto. Hiruzen picks up Naruto and hands him to Orochimaru.
"Are you sure? The Council will be out for blood if you do this." Hiruzen warns.
"I am sure. Let them just try to take him from me. I dare them." Orochimaru says with a blood thirsty grin. Hiruzen just laughs and shakes his head. His student never changes. Hiruzen takes Naruto back and lays him back in his crib.
"Alright, let's get the adoption papers filled out and filed." Hiruzen says as he goes back to his desk. Orochimaru nods and starts filling out the forms Hiruzen hands him. After filling out the forms, Hiruzen gets up and picks up Naruto. He then hands him to Orochimaru.
"Congratulations on your new baby boy." Hiruzen says warmly.
"Thank you, Sensei." Orochimaru says as he looks at his new son in warm awe.
-The Next Day: Hokage's Office.-
"What! How could you allow the demon to be adopted!?" A pink haired woman of the Civilian Council yells. I say woman lightly.
"Yes, Hiruzen, and by Orochimaru of all people." Koharu Utafane, one of Hiruzen's former teammates, exclaims.
"I knew it. That snake has always wanted to see this village in ruins." Homura Mitokado, Hiruzen's other former teammate, huffs angrily.
"Watch what you say about my student, Koharu, Homura." Hiruzen states, his chakra rising, making the Civilian Council flinch. They could barely lift their heads at the weight of it. The Shinobi Council also flinched, from the weight; but, did not suffer as the Civilian Council did. Danzo Shimura, lover of Hiruzen, and the other Clan Heads; Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Choza Akimichi, Koga Inuzuka, Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha, and Sakumo Hatake all shook their heads at the stupidity of the other elders and the Civilian Council. Well, they were supposed to be elders. They sure did not act like it.
'They act like children who did not get their way.' Inoichi thinks.
'So troublesome.' Shikaku sighs tiredly. Koharu and Homura new they made a big mistake talking about their real feelings for Orochimaru out load, in front of Hiruzen. But, they could not allow Orochimaru to have his hands on the demon. They needed to put a stop to this.
"The adoption is false." Koharu states.
"Oh? How is that, Utafane-san?" Hiruzen asks coldly. Koharu flinches at the use of her last name from her former teammate.
"Because, Orochimaru would need the permission of the Council to adopt the child. Which he did not." Homura explains. The Civilian Council nods their heads agreeing.
"How cute, having a meeting about my son without me. Good thing sensei sent me word of this farce of a meeting." A voice says with a scoff. Everyone turns to the door where the voice came from.
"Orochimaru! What are you doing here? This is a private meeting!" Koharu demands.
"I am here because it is about my son, so sensei thought I should be here. Now, as for not getting the Council's permission, I did." Orochimaru states. The Council erupted.
"No, you did not!" One Civilian male yells.
"Stop lying you filthy snake!" The pink haired woman also yells. Everything stops at the heavy feeling of chakra pressure. Everyone turned to see that it was not Hiruzen, but Orochimaru. They could see the outline of a purple snake out of his chakra. The Council then remembered he was one of the three legendary Sannin; and, one of the villages' strongest shinobis.
"I am not lying. I got the Clan Heads and the Hokage's permission. I even got Danzo's, so the adoption is valid. Naruto Uzumaki is my son now. If anyone thinks of taking him from me, their lives will be forfeited to Manda, good day." Orochimaru states as he walks out the door. Everyone shivered at the mention of Orochimaru's summon. Koharu and Homura, and the Civilian Council felt hopeless. There was nothing they could do to stop this. Their fates were sealed.
-12 Years Later-
Iruka Umino, of the Hatake Clan by adoption, was proud of his students for making it this far; and, for passing his class. Iruka tries to make his class harder than what the Civilian Council wants; but, it is hard when he has students who go and complain to their parents (cough, Sakura). Iruka gets out the team list.
"Alright everyone, here will be the teams. Team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake. Team 8 will be Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and Hinata Hyuga. Your sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi. Team 9 is still active. Team 10 will be Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka. Your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi. Please wait here for your senseis." Iruka finishes then leaves the room. The students go sit with their new teammates.
"I feel sorry for, Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun. They have to put up with Sakura." Ino says with sympathy.
"Yeah, I agree." Shikamaru says with a yawn. All of the Clans are close, so their children all grew up together. Plus, Naruto of course. Thanks to this, Ino never became a Sasuke fan girl. Sasuke's attitude, thanks to no Uchiha Massacre, was not an emo brat. Sasuke is actually really laid back.
"Speaking of Naruto, where is he?" Kiba asks.
"He said his dad was taking him clothes shopping as a reward for passing." Hinata explains. Thanks to having Ino as a friend, her confidence went up.
"Lucky! I would have loved to go clothes shopping." Ino wines jealous of Naruto.
"Team 8 you're with me." A voice calls. The group turned to the door finding a female shinobi standing there. She had long black, shoulder length untamed hair, and very unique eyes that are red in color with an additional ring in them. She was wearing make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her outfit consists of a red mesh armor blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Over this is very broad material, which resembles bandages with a patter on it; similar, to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages, and she wears the Konoha headband protector on her forehead. She also wear regular shinobi sandals. This was Kurenai Yuhi, Naruto's sister Anko's girlfriend. Team 8 leaves with their sensei.
"Team 10 you're with me." A male shinobi says. The man had brown eyes, short black spiky hair, and a beard. His clothes consists of the standard Konoha shinobi uniform with sleeves rolled up half way, the flak jacket, regular shinobi sandals, and the Konoha headband on his forehead. Team 10 leaves with him. This left Sasuke alone with Sakura.
'Naruto, you lucky bastard! Where are you? You need to come save me from this hell.' Sasuke thinks in despair. Sakura spent the time trying to chat up Sasuke, but he was just ignoring her. Finally after an hour went by, their sensei shows up.
"Team 7 you're with me. Meet me on the roof." The man orders as he teleports using the Leaf Body Flicker Technique. Sasuke sighs in relief. They then meet up with their sensei on the roof.
"It looks like we're missing one. Where's your last teammate?" Their sensei asks.
"I'm here, Sensei." A voice says. The three of them look, and sitting right next to Sasuke was Naruto.
"When did you get here!?" Sakura yells.
"I was here the whole time." Naruto explains (Naruto is hiding what outfit he is wearing).
'He is good at hiding his presence. I almost did not feel him. As exceptive from the son raised by one of the three Sannin.' Kakashi thinks impressed.
"Well, now that we're all here. Please introduce yourselves." Kakashi instructs.
"What do you mean Sensei?" Sakura asks.
"I mean tell us your likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams, and ambitions." Kakashi explains.
"You go first Sensei show us how it is done." Sakura says.
"My name is Kakashi Hatake; I'm the kind of person who doesn't feel like talking about his likes or dislikes. My dreams for the future are none of your business… but anyway, I have lots of hobbies…" Kakashi finishes.
'We did not learn a thing about him!' Sakura thinks.
'As expected of Kakashi-niisan.' Naruto thinks with a giggle. Sasuke also had heard about how Kakashi was from his older brother, Itachi.
"You're next Pinkie." Kakashi says. Sakura blushed red in anger making her face clash with her hair color. Kakashi looked at then pointed at Sakura.
"You're next, Pinkie." Kakashi says. Sakura blushed red in anger, making her face clash with her hair.
'So, not attractive.' Naruto thinks in disgust.
"My name is Sakura Haruno; my likes are… my dream is (squeals and blushes) my hobbies are… I hate Ino-pig and Naruto-Baka!" Sakura says all this while looking and blushing at Sasuke.
'Great a fan girl.' Kakashi thinks with a sigh.
"You're up." Kakashi says pointing at Sasuke. Sasuke shakes his head in dismay at Sakura. He then straightens up.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha; my likes are my Clan, family, and friends. My hobbies are training with my dad and older brother, learning new jutsus, hanging out with my friends. I dislike fan girls and people comparing me with my brother. My ambition is to be an Anbu captain like my older brother, Itachi." Sasuke says. Sakura squeals.
"Okay, you're the last one." Kakashi nods to Naruto.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki; my likes are my dad and mom, friends, ramen, snakes, and toads. My hobbies are training with my dad, hanging out with my friends, and pranks. My dislikes are ignorant people who cannot tell the difference between the scroll and the kunai that is sealed in it. My ambition is to be the Hokage." Naruto says. Kakashi looks at him.
'So, he knows. Well, this will be interesting. I have two promising students and one…not so much. What's this about a mom though? Is Orochimaru dating someone? Oh, well, I will find out later.' Kakashi thinks with a sigh.
"We will meet tomorrow for your final test to see if you are worthy of being Genin." Kakashi announces.
"WHAT?! But I thought we were already Genin?!" Sakura yells.
"No, the Academy is just one stepping stone to be coming Genin. Now it's time for the survival test, it has a 66% of you passing and only 9 teams will be allowed to pass. Oh, and I suggest not eating breakfast, if you do not enjoy throwing up." Kakashi explains before leaving. Naruto and Sasuke also left not wanting to be around Sakura more than necessary.
-The Next Day-
After eating a delicious meal cooked by his wonderful mom. Naruto headed to the training ground to meet up with his teammates. When he got there, he saw Sakura trying to flirt with Sasuke; but, Sasuke was not interested.
"Good morning, Sasuke-kun. Did you do what I suggested?" Naruto asks as he sits next to Sasuke.
"Yes, I did. I ate breakfast like you said too." Sasuke says.
"What! But, Kakashi-sensei ordered us not to!" Sakura screeches. The guys winced in pain from her voice.
"He only suggested not to, Haruno-san." Naruto explains. Sakura just huffs and goes back to trying to flirt with Sasuke, and flailing miserably. Kakashi then showed up an hour later.
"You're late!" Sakura yells. The guys wince. Kakashi shakes his head.
"Sorry, I got lost on the road of life." Kakashi explains.
"Liar!" Sakura yells at Kakashi.
"Anyway, let's get down to business." Kakashi says seriously. Kakashi then explains the Bell test and what they have to do.
"Ready, set, go!" Kakashi says. Sakura and Sasuke hid themselves, Sakura under some bushes and Sasuke in the trees. Naruto was the only one not to hide.
"You're a strange one aren't you?" Kakashi states.
"You have no idea." Naruto says as he throws off the coat that was hiding what he is wearing. He was wearing a short purple kimono dress with pink floral designs on it. He was wearing purple heeled sandals, styled like Tsunade. His long blond hair was in a pony-tail. He also wore purple eye shadow like his dad. Naruto's team was in shock.
'Of course, he would choose now to shock everyone.' Sasuke thinks with a put out laugh. Kakashi did not know what to think while Sakura was disgusted. Naruto reaches into his kimono sleeves. Kakashi tenses.
"Let's put on a show, Sensei." Naruto says with a snake like grin, just like his mom's. Naruto pulls out a hand full of senbon, and threw them at Kakashi. Kakashi dodges and appears behind Naruto. Before Kakashi could touch Naruto, he disappeared using wind teleportation. Kakashi looks around for Naruto, trying to sense him.
'Where is he? It is impressive that he can use his nature chakra element, already. I wonder when he learned his nature element.' Kakashi thinks as he dodges more of Naruto's senbons.
"Awe, I thought I had you there, Sensei." Naruto says with a pout. Kakashi turned to where Naruto was standing.
"You will have to do better than that, Naruto-kun." Kakashi says. Naruto stands there pondering.
"Okay, sensei, since you asked for it." Naruto says cheerfully. Kakashi was curious about what Naruto was up to. Naruto gathers his chakra.
"Wind Release: Gale Hurricane!" Naruto yells as he waves his hand toward Kakashi. Kakashi was shocked at, not only the huge wind hurricane coming at him, but at how Naruto did not use any hand signs.
'How is this possible? He should not be able to use a jutsu like this without hand signs.' Kakashi thinks as he uses substitution to dodge the attack. The huge hurricane tore down and destroyed the forest behind where Kakashi used to be.
"Few, glad I dodged that." Kakashi comments with a sigh.
-Meanwhile with Sasuke-
Sasuke was in awe of how strong Naruto was.
'He can use elemental jutsus without hand signs. He's incredible.' Sasuke thinks in awe. Naruto then appeared next to Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I figured out the true meaning of this test." Naruto says.
"Really? What is it?" Sasuke asks.
"No time to explain. Just follow my lead." Naruto says explaining his plain.
"Okay, I trust you, Naruto-kun." Sasuke says putting his faith in Naruto. Naruto nods then the clone dispels. Sasuke gets into position.
-Back to the Fight-
Naruto and Kakashi were at a standoff when Naruto gets his clone's memories.
'Right, time to do this.' Naruto thinks with determination. Kakashi saw Naruto's demeanor change.
'He's up to something.' Kakashi thinks as Naruto gathers up his chakra, his chakra is red, not Kyubi red, instead of green like earlier. Naruto signals Sasuke. Sasuke hurries through some hand signs.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Ball Jutsu!" Naruto and Sasuke yell together.
'Shit!' Kakashi thinks as he had a hard time dodging the big fire balls. He jumps into the air to bad this was part of Naruto's plain.
"Wind Release: Gale Blades!" Naruto yells behind Kakashi. Kakashi gets hit by the blades. Kakashi's clone dispels.
"A clone, just like I thought." Naruto says as he sees Sasuke engaging Kakashi in taijutsu. Naruto lands behind Kakashi. He gathers his chakra, his chakra color a crackling blue.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Whip!" Naruto yells a blue crackling whip appears in his hand. He swings it and grabs the bells hanging off of Kakashi's belt. Naruto appears next to Sasuke holding the bells.
"We win, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto announces holding up the bells.
"I have to say I am impressed, but you did not pass my test." Kakashi says.
"Why not!? Sakura yells coming out of her hiding place. Kakashi sighs.
"Because, you guys did not understand the true meaning of this test." Kakashi explains.
"Yes, we did. It is team work. There is no two man cell teams. So, I worked with, Sasuke-kun. Haruno-san would have been useless in getting the bells." Naruto explains. Kakashi stared in shock at Naruto.
'Huh, he figured out the test, then planned accordingly. He must get his leadership, and plaining from his dad.' Kakashi thinks. (Kakashi does not know Naruto calls Orochimaru mom and Jirayia dad. He also does not know they are dating).
"I see, do you guys see that stone over there?" Kakashi asks pointing to the Hero's Stone. The three students look over to it.
"Yeah, that is the Hero's Stone. It is where the names of the fallen heroes of Konohagakure are written." Naruto explains.
'Trust Naruto-kun to know.' Kakashi thinks fondly.
"Exactly, so, I believe/was taught in those who abandon the rules are trash; but, those who abandon their comrades are worst then trash." Kakashi explains with passion. Naruto and Sasuke take these words to heart. Sakura could careless, all of this was going over her head anyway.
"Well, I guess I will pass you guys, but not Haruno-san. She will be going back to the Academy." Kakashi says.
"What! Why do I have to go back to the Academy and not Naruto-baka!?" Sakura yells in outrage. They all looked at her like she was crazy (which she is).
'Did she not see the same fight we did?' The guys think together.
"Well, this day was eye opening. I will see you two tomorrow. You guys are officially Genins. Be proud. You two are the only students I have ever passed." Kakashi says with a proud smile.
'And I am glad it was you two.' Kakashi thinks relieved.
"I will have your replacement teammate tomorrow." Kakashi says as he drags Sakura back to the Academy. Naruto and Sasuke headed home wondering what tomorrow will bring, and who their new teammate will be.
'Life just keeps getting more and more interesting. I cannot wait to tell, mom.' Naruto thinks excitingly. Life sure will not be boring from now on.
