THIS IS A TEST STORY! I just want to know how it does so when I finish the story 'A Fateful Encounter' I can add more chapters to this. If I do update then please STOP ME! Enjoy.

I would like to make things clear for this story. The Hyuuga clan does not exist so Hinata and Neji will be replaced. Only Anna and Amidamaru from Shaman King will be mentioned in this story, anyone else will not be in it.

In a forest clearing sat Naruto next to an open scroll in his orange jumpsuit that screams 'KILL ME'. In it was forbidden jutsu that could put his village, the Hidden Leaf, in danger. Right now he was out of breath because he just learned the Shadow Clone jutsu and he could not make a clone easily. Just as he was about to look at the scroll again, he heard someone enter the clearing. Turning he saw his teacher "Iruka-Sensei? You found me!" he shouted scratching the back of his head with a grin.

"Damn right I did" growled the scarred Chunin "Mind telling me why you stole the Forbidden Scroll?"

Naruto blinked "Mizuki-Sensei told me to. He said that if I can steal the scroll, bring it here, and learn a jutsu then he can make me a Genin" Iruka stared in shock "So am I a Genin now?"

Iruka was about to say something when he heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Quickly he pushed Naruto out of the way shouting, "Move!" Kunai came out of the trees. They hit Iruka but only two seemed to hit him in the arm and leg as the others scratched him. The force of the kunai pushed Iruka into an abandoned cabin behind him.

"Iruka-Sensei!" shouted Naruto in alarm.

"Stay back Naruto!" shouted Iruka taking the kunai out of his arm.

"Do what he says Naruto" said a voice from the shadows. Looking both Naruto and Iruka saw Mizuki walk out of the shadows to reveal himself "We don't want you to get hurt now do we? Well he doesn't, I wouldn't mind," said the silver haired Chunin. He turned to Naruto "Give me the scroll so I can make you a Genin"

"Dont Naruto! Dont give him the scroll!" shouted Iruka taking the kunai out of his leg "It contains forbidden secrets that could put our village in danger!"

"Give me the scroll Naruto. I'll tell you a secret," said Mizuki.

"Secret?" repeated Naruto.

"The secret about why everyone hates you"

"Dont Mizuki!" Iruka shouted.

"The secret is that the Fox that attacked the village thirteen years ago is sealed" Naruto's eyes widened "In YOU! YOU ARE THE NINE-TAILED FOX!" he shouted taking one of the giant shurikens from his back and throwing it at Naruto.

The shuriken flew faster towards Naruto and he was about to do something until he heard a voice "Not yet" that whispered into his ear.

Iruka then jumped in the way of the shuriken taking the hit into his back "Iruka-Sensei!" shouted Naruto in alarm.

"N-Naruto" he said coughing up a bit of blood "Run" he said, "Take the scroll and run"

Naruto just nodded whilst taking the scroll and ran deeper into the forest "Why did you have to save that demon Iruka" said Mizuki. Neither Chunin knew that Naruto was hiding behind a tree "If you just let it die then you would have been seen as a hero. It's only a monster and monster's destroy and kill"

Iruka slowly took the shuriken out of his back and sat against the tree he was near "Your right that is a monster"

Behind the tree Naruto lowered his head in sadness "Wait" said the voice "He's not finished"

"But that's not Naruto. He's the villages Number 1, Hyperactive, Knuckle Head that I believe will become Hokage one day!" said Iruka proudly.

Mizuki frowned at that as he took out his last shuriken "Then why dont you DIE WITH THE DEMON!" he shouted throwing the weapon.

Just before the shuriken killed Iruka it was suddenly deflected making it fly harmlessly into a tree. Looking both Chunins jaw dropped when they saw Naruto standing in front of Iruka holding a katana "If you ever hurt my sensei again...I'll kill you" he said.

Shaking his head Mizuki said, "Like you could hurt me" he took out all of his normal shuriken and through them "NOW DIE!"

Naruto calmly looked at Mizuki "It's time to show my true self" he said with a smirk.

"Yes I believe it is" said the voice from before.

"Amidamaru" said Naruto. Behind him, although Iruka and Mizuki couldn't see it, a man appeared with long white hair tied up loosely in the back like the Nara clan. He wears a black kimono with it open at the chest and a white haori over it. On his shoulders, fore arms, and shins was a red type of armor that you see on Samurai's. On both sides of his waist was two katana's similar to the one Naruto has. This as a ghost named Amidamaru "You ready?" asked Naruto.

"Always" was the mans reply.

"Spirit Form!" shouted Naruto. Raising his hand Amidamaru's from suddenly began to disappear into what looked like a small blue fireball in Naruto's hand. It strangely looked like Amidamaru's head only blue "Unity!" he shouted pushing the ball into his chest. When Naruto looked up his eyes have changed from their usual calm and warm blue to a cold and hardened blue. With ease Naruto slashed at the shurikens making them either fall to the ground or fly into trees.

"What!?" shouted Mizuki "How did you do that!? Why can't demons like you just die!?" he shouted angrily.

Naruto smirked "You call me a demon" he said but his voice sounded like his mixed with someone else's "But I am a Shaman"

"A Shaman?" repeated Iruka.

"Doesn't matter," said Mizuki "You still can't beat me"

Smirking Naruto stabbed the sword into the ground "We'll see" he said making a cross sign with his hands "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he shouted and the clearing was then filled with hundreds of Naruto's.

"I-Impossible!" shouted Mizuki before the clones attacked.

Half an hour later the clones dispelled to reveal a badly beaten Mizuki who was unconscious die to the pain. Naruto walked up to Iruka asking, "Are you ok Iruka-Sensei?"

Iruka jumped. He was so surprised at what Naruto managed that he didn't hear him approach "Sorry. Im ok but how did you do all this?"

"Well I guess the easiest way to say this is that the Naruto you knew was actually a mask. I've been hiding my true self for years and I decided to finally drop my mask" said Naruto with a smile.

"Ok last question. What's a Shaman?"

"A Shaman is a link to the world beyond" was all Naruto said.

"Ok then. Can you please close your eyes?" he asked with Naruto nodding his head. Closing his eyes Naruto felt something move on his head "Now you can open them" When he opened his eyes the first thing Naruto saw was Iruka without his headband and was holding his goggles. He lifted his hand touched his head feeling cool metal "Congratulations! You graduate!" said Iruka happily.

"Thank you Iruka-Sensei!" said Naruto happily.

Amidamaru smiled as he watched from the trees 'Things are looking up for you Naruto'

(In Hokage's office)

"Ah Naruto" said Sarutobi, the Third Hokage "I see you finally dropped your mask"

"You knew!?" shouted Iruka.

"Yes I was the one that advised him to hide himself in the first place," said the Hokage.

"Can I ask a question?" asked Naruto.

"Is it about the Fox?"

"So it's true" it wasn't a question.

"Yes the Fox was sealed within you on the day it attacked. Are you mad?" asked the aged leader.

"No Im not and I can understand why. It was to save the village and at least this way no one else would have had to live the life I had," he said sadly.

They all stayed quiet for a moment before the Hokage said, "Right, down to business. Because you both stopped a traitor from taking the Forbidden Scroll you will both be given payment and it shall be marked as an A-Ranked mission"

"Thank you Lord Hokage" said Iruka respectively.

"Thanks Old Man" said Naruto making both Iruka and the Third sweat drop at the lack of respect.

"Iruka make sure to go to the hospital and Naruto go home. Tomorrow you will be assigned to a team so make sure to be by the academy by nine" said Sarutobi.

"Ok" smiled Naruto.

"Make sure he goes Amidamaru," said the Old man even though he couldn't see the samurai ghost. He chuckled when he saw Naruto nod "Dismissed" they both left leaving the Hokage to himself "Minato you would be proud" he said looking at the picture of the Fourth Hokage.

(The next day)

Naruto stood in his apartment in his new clothes. He never really liked his orange jumpsuit but he did like the colour. Now he is wearing black tracksuit trousers with a kunai pouch tied to his leg, black sandels, and black sleeveless vest with a long sleeved orange hooded shirt underneath. His headband was proudly shown on his head. He doesn't wear the sheath for his sword but instead carries it around. Turning, Naruto looked at Amidamaru "What do you think?"

Amidamaru smiled "It looks good" he said with a thumbs up. He looked at the clock and saw it was half eight "We need to leave now"

"Yeah let's go," said Naruto walking to the door. Amidamaru turned into his spirit form and floated next to Naruto as they made their way to the academy. As they walked Naruto couldn't help but smirk as he saw the shocked looks from the villagers and a couple of blushes from the girls his age. When he got to his classroom he stood outside the room "Show time" he said nodding to his Guardian Ghost.

He entered and all noise stopped as everybody looked at him "Naruto?" asked his friend Shikamaru.

"Yeah it's me and yes Im suppose to be here seeing how I got this," he said pointing to his head. He then sat in an empty seat next to Sasuke Uchiha, the last of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke just ignored Naruto but his fan-girls did not.

"Naruto! Get out of that seat!" screeched Sakura "Only I can sit there!"

"My god don't you ever shut up," said Naruto making the room go silent again "What?" even Sasuke looked at Naruto in slight shock.

Iruka walked into the room and looked around only seeing shocked looks "What happened?"

"Naruto just told Sakura to shut up," said Kiba.

Iruka looked at Naruto "Nice clothes"

"Thanks" said Naruto nodding his head.

"Ok class sit down" once that was done, he said "Now I am proud to say that all of you have become Genin, the next generation of ninja to protect this village. I hope that you will all become great ninja. Now for the teams" after a few minutes of names being said "Team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno" he was interrupted when both Naruto and Sakura slammed their heads into their desks "...and Sasuke Uchiha. Your sensei is Kakashi Hatake," another slam by Naruto but Sakura cheered in triumph.

"God damn it" said Naruto.

"It's not that bad," said Amidamaru. Naruto looked at him with a 'Are you serious' look "Never mind"

"Anyway Team 8 is Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Akane Suzuki. Your sensei is Kurenai Yuhi. Team 9 is still in circulation. Finally Team 10 is Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi, and Ino Yamanaka. Your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi. That's all so please wait here until your new sensei arrives," he said leaving.

(An hour later)

All the teams have left when their sensei's arrived but only Team 7 remained "WHERE THE HELL IS HE!?" screeched Sakura. Naruto sat with his head against the desk taking a nap while his team mates sat waiting. Finally the door opened to reveal a man with silver gravity defying hair, a mask with his headband covering an eye so it shows only one eye.

"My first impression" he started "Your all idiots" Sakura fell to the ground face first, Sasuke stared at the guy in disbelief, and Naruto just woke up.

"What happened?" asked the blond.

"Meet me up on the roof in five minutes" said Kakashi as he disappeared in a whirl of leaves. When they got up there they saw Kakashi leaning against the railing reading a small orange book. The team sat down on the steps with Sasuke in the middle "Ok now that were all here let's introduce ourselves"

"Why don't you go first Kakashi-Sensei?" asked Sakura.

'Was it not obvious?' thought the others including Amidamaru. Kakashi coughed then said "Very well. My name is Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate...I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future...never really thought about it. As for my hobbies...I have a lot of hobbies"

'All we got was his name' thought the three Genin plus the ghost with a sweat drop.

"Your turn pinkie" he said pointing to Sakura.

She growled at the name but ignored it "My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are..." she looks at Sasuke and blushes "My hobbies are..." she looks at Sasuke again and blushes "My dreams are..." again she looks at Sasuke and blushes but this time she giggled dreamingly in the end.

"And your hates?" asked the Jonin.

"Naruto and Ino!" she shouted angrily. Naruto just smirked at that.

"Ok you next broody" he said pointing to Sasuke.

He glared but answered, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like anything but there are a lot of things I hate. My dream no my goal is to kill a certain someone" he said.

'He's so cool!"' thought the pink haired fan girl.

Naruto sighed and Kakashi thought 'Great an Avenger aswell as a fan girl' Finally he looked at Naruto "You last fish cake"

Naruto smiled at the comment and said, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, training, and a certain someone" they looked at him and saw him staring at the sky "I don't like people who treat others like dirt for no reason and the time it takes to make ramen. My hobbies are training and sleeping. My dream is to not only become Hokage but also to win a tournament"

"What tournament?" asked Kakashi.

"It's a secret," said Naruto.

"Ok now that we all know each other. Tomorrow I want you to meet me at Training Ground 7 at six in the morning. Don't eat breakfast or you'll be sick" he advised before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

(The next day)

Naruto woke up at around seven and decided to eat some ramen. He knew he wasn't actually late, or at least as late as his sensei, so he knew he could wait a while. The reason he was eating was because of one simple fact; no one gets in the way of Naruto's ramen. After a while he walked up to the training ground and saw Sasuke and Sakura half-awake "Your late!" shouted a tired Sakura.

"Is Kakashi-Sensei here?" asked Naruto with a smirk.

"Well no but that's not-" she got interrupted.

"If he's not here then Im not late. Now please be quiet, it's too early in the morning for your screeching," he said without letting the smirk leave his face. Sakura was so confused at how the new Naruto acted she just stayed quiet. Sasuke just watched with interest at the new Naruto.

After an hour Amidamaru appeared in his normal form "He's here" he said.

"I know," whispered Naruto as he covered his ears.

Kakashi appeared in front of the Genin giving them a lazy salute "Yo" was all he said.

"YOUR LATE!" screamed Sakura. Sasuke and Kakashi had to make sure their ears weren't bleeding before the Jonin continued.

"Sorry if Im late but a cat crossed my path so I had to go the long way" was his terrible excuse "Anyway lets get started" he said walking over to one of the training stumps. On top of it was an alarm clock "This is set for noon, your assignment is simple" he showed two bells "You just have to take these bells from me, that's all there is too it. If you cant get them by noon then you go without lunch. You'll be tied to those stumps and watch whilst I eat MY lunch"

Everybody but Naruto gave him shocked and hungry looks 'So that's why' thought Sasuke and Sakura.

'This Jonin is cruel' thought Amidamaru 'Im almost glad I don't have to eat'

"Wait there's only three of us," said Sakura.

'Four but that's not the point' thought both Naruto and Amidamaru.

"There's only two bells so how is that fair?" she asked.

"Im glad you noticed" said the Jonin "This is so only one of you would end up tied to the post and fails. That one would also get sent back to the academy"

"You can't do that!" shouted Sakura. Sasuke glared whilst Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"I can and I will," he said making her shut up "If you want the bells then you have to attack me with the intent to kill to get them"

"But what if you get hurt!?" she shouted again.

'Does she ever stay quiet?' everyone thought, "I'll be fine. Now when I say start you can all begin" The second he finished talking he caught a kunai that was aimed for his head. Looking he saw Naruto with his arm outstretched "I didn't say start"

"Sorry" said Naruto "Guess I misheard"

Kakashi eye smiled "Ok then...Start" Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all disappeared into the trees 'Not bad. But I can still sense them...and see one' he thought turning to seeing Naruto behind him "Your not very good, are you?"

"I've been told worse," said Naruto unsheathing his katana. He then walked over to the tree and placed the sheath there. Looking he saw Kakashi reach into his pouch "A weapon?" Instead Kakashi pulled out a small orange book "Im getting the feeling that you're underestimating me"

Amidamaru floated next to Naruto "Unity?" he asked.

"Not yet" whispered Naruto stabbing the sword into the ground "Lets see how he does with Taijutsu"

"But you're not good at Taijutsu"

"Thanks for your support" sweat dropped Naruto. He ran at Kakashi and tried punching and kicking his sensei but it was dodged or blocked everytime. Kakashi then used his speed to appear crouching behind him.

"Don't just run into a fight all the time" he said making the Tiger hand sign.

(In the trees)

Sasuke watched the fight from the trees 'Idiot; he thinks he can take on a Jonin. Wait that hand sign is for fire jutsu' Whilst he was thinking Sakura was just wondering around the forest not even watching the match as she tried to find Sasuke.

(In clearing)

Kakashi suddenly thrusted his pointed hand forward "Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu! 1000 years of Death!" he shouted but thankfully before it could hit Naruto in a...disturbing way, Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke. Looking around Kakashi saw Naruto standing next to his sword 'Substitution? No it wasn't that'

"Behind you" said Naruto pointing to the lake behind Kakashi.

Turning, seven clones jumped out of the lake 'Shadow Clones' thought Kakashi with a smile. He was about to defend until he felt someone hold his arms back from behind. Turning his eye widened slightly 'Another clone! But how?' he thought. Looking towards the tree he saw the sheath had disappeared 'A clone and a transformation? Impressive' he thought. All the clones grabbed Kakashi so he couldn't get away whilst the real Naruto slashed with his sword.

Everything was silent as Naruto landed behind his clones "Missed" he said confusing his team mate who was watching. But then it became clear when Kakashi was suddenly replaced by a Naruto clone making it disappear in a puff of smoke. Smirking he made all the other clones disappear "He must have went after the other two"

"Probably" said Amidamaru.

(With Sasuke)

Not seeing Kakashi anywhere the Uchiha decided to go find him. Looking into a clearing he saw the ninja just standing and reading 'Too easy' he thought with an arrogant smirk as he took out all his kunai and shuriken. He threw them and then ran after them to catch Kakashi by surprised. But he stopped when the Jonin just disappeared in a puff of smoke 'He's not in the forest' he thought 'He not above either so where? Underneath!' he thought but was too late when a pair of arms came out of the ground and pulled him underneath only leaving Sasuke's head visible.

"Earth Style: Head Hunter Jutsu" said Kakashi still reading his book near Sasuke.

(With Sakura)

'Sasuke where are you?' thought Sakura as she continued to walk around the forest oblivious to what happened.

"Sakura" she heard. Looking she saw Kakashi make a hand sign "Bye bye" he said with a wave before the leaves began to circle around her. They stopped as she looked around.

"Sakura" she heard someone else say in a pained voice. She ran through the trees but stopped suddenly when she saw Sasuke on the ground with kunai embedded in his back "Help...me" he said. She just screamed then fainted.

"Really?" said Kakashi out loud with a sweat drop. He shook his head and decided to find Naruto 'He definitely is interesting. Nothing like the others or what was said in his record' He walked into the clearing he last saw Naruto in and found him meditating "What are you doing?"

"Meditating" was all Naruto said before standing up. He smirked and said, "Ready for a real fight?"

"Real fight?" repeated Kakashi.

Naruto's smirk seemed to grow more as he raised his hand into the air "Amidamaru" he said making his Guardian Ghost change into a small blue flame "Spirit Form!" He then forced the spirit into his chest "Unity!" he shouted.

"What was all that about?" asked Kakashi not seeing what Naruto did. Naruto looked at him and his eye widened 'Something's not right, he's a different person'

"Lets do this," said Naruto in his mixed voice. He ran at Kakashi with great speed that shocked the Jonin. Thankfully he put his book away knowing this fight would be different. And he was right when he had to block the attacks with the steel plates on the back of his hand and even then he had to struggle. Naruto pushed forward and then swiped but Kakashi jumped out of the way in time.

"What was that?" asked Kakashi. Naruto didn't answer but smirked instead.

'Think we should try THAT attack?' thought Naruto.

'Well we have been working on it for a while so we might aswell' thought back Amidamaru.

Naruto gathered his chakra and concentrated. He then swung his sword shouting "Celestial Slash!" A red ark shot out from the sword and flew towards Kakashi whose eye widened.

Before the attack hit however the alarm went off signalling that the test was over. The attack hit but Kakashi substituted out of the way but was surprised when he saw the log, that he switched places with, sliced in half cleanly.

Ten minutes later Sasuke and Sakura were tied up on the posts while Naruto sat on top of the middle on "Why are we tied up!?" shouted Sakura.

"Im an Uchiha! You can't do this!" shouted Sasuke.

"Your both tied up because you failed to get the bells" said Kakashi.

"But that idiot never got one!" she shouted indicating to Naruto.

"No he didn't get one" Sasuke smirked along with Sakura "But he understood the test"

"What are you talking about? The test was to get the bells wasn't it?" asked Sakura.

"No" answered Naruto "The test was all about teamwork"

Sakura scoffed "Please. If that's true then Sasuke would have figured that out easily"

"No he's right Sakura," said Kakashi "This was all about teamwork. You didn't do anything to help but instead you just went after Sasuke" he turned to the Uchiha "You had plenty of chances to help Naruto but instead you waited and watched you team mate fight alone. You believe that you are strong enough and that you don't need anyone else" he looked at them both "Naruto however fought me so he could distract me. You both had chances to try and get the bells whilst we were fighting" He started to walk away "I'll be back soon. Naruto can have lunch. If you give them any food Naruto then you will ALL go back to the academy" with that he walked away.

After a few minutes Naruto put his food down when he heard his team mates stomach growl. He made a Shadow Clone and then both grabbed the spare lunches. He went up to Sakura while the clone went to Sasuke "What are you doing!?" shouted Sakura.

"First of all, please stop shouting" he said, "Second, Kakashi isn't here and you both need your strength" Just then Kakashi appeared and he looked angry.

"You broke the rules!" he said loudly "I hope your ready for the punishment" he made a few hand signs making dark clouds with thunder appear "Any last words?"

"Yeah I got a few," said Naruto "Were a team and we should look out for each other even if we have to break a few rules"

"That's it?" asked Kakashi "That's your excuse?" Sakura looked scared at what was happening, Sasuke looked angry at what Naruto had done, but Naruto was smirking. Kakashi smiled saying "You pass"

"What?" asked a shocked Sakura.

"You pass" repeated Kakashi "In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum. That's true. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum" Sasuke and Sakura were released from their ropes "Congratulations Team 7. Tomorrow meet me here at eight for training" he said disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"We did it?" asked Sakura, confuced at what happened.

"Yep" said Naruto "Now if you'll excuse me Im going to get some ramen" he said walking away. But just as he got a metre away he suddenly froze "Uh oh"

"She's here isn't she?" asked Amidamaru who seemed scared.

"I have to go" said Naruto about to run but froze again when he heard a voice.

"Running already Naruto?" said a female voice. Sasuke and Sakura looked and saw a blond haired girl leaning against one of the training stumps. She was wearing a black dress, sandals, blue beads for a necklace, and a red scarf tied around her head.

"Who are you?" asked Sakura.

"Hi Anna" said a nervous Naruto.

"You didn't get a bell?" she asked walking towards him.

"He was a Jonin," said Naruto slowly walking backwards.

"I trained you better than that," she said.

'She trained Naruto?' thought Sasuke and Sakura.

"Run!" shouted Naruto running away but blue bead flew around and caught him around his neck "GAH!"

"Not so fast" she said dragging him back.

"Sorry Naruto" called Amidamaru as he floated away.

"Traitor!" choked out Naruto.

"If you couldn't even get one bell then Im going to have to up your training" said Anna dragging Naruto back to the Sasuke and Sakura saw Naruto mouth 'Help me' to them but both felt that if they did anything then it would hurt. So instead they both just walked away "Lets go home" she said "And not the apartment either. Back to our REAL home" she said making him nod.

She let him go as he led the way "Yes Anna" he said.

Well I hope you all enjoyed that and like I said, if I update this story then I want someone to stop me! If you have anymore questions then please ask. Thank you for reading and please review.
