I've been thinking Naruto is a freaking ninja you know what ninja's are? Assassins and theves but no ine NO ONE does a thief Naruto so here it is Naruto the thief of Legend.

Naruto smirked as he looked at the Hokage's tower it was all most too easy. The first thing Naruto did was using a disguise he entered a back-door looking like a simple cleaner. If the disguise was from a henge he would have been found out instantly as all ninjas were trained to spot one. Luckily no one seemed to spot a disguise that consisted of make-up, hair dye, contacts and different clothes.

The next stage of his plan Naruto made his way to the roof quickly picking the lock on the door and exiting. The roof never had ninja on it as most ninja couldn't pick a lock without Chakra and the entire building was designed to go on lockdown if that happened. Next Naruto tied a rope to one of the vents and started to absail down the building to the Hokage's office, he gently pried the window open and climbed in.

"Now if I were a hidden room where would I be?" Naruto mused aloud conjuring images of the building in his mind before grinning. Under the Hokage's office were two rooms both of which smaller than they should be most likely a hidden passage was involved.

Looking around the room for hidden floor places Naruto saw the rug, the desk and a large bookcase against the wall. "Let's see moving the rug often would be noticeab;e sp most likely not that then there is the bookcase if the secret was hidden there that may work as no one would ever actually go through the Hokage's books and then there is the desk which everyone would search if they were a thief simply because it's the Hokage's desk. I'll start with the bookcase" Naruto decided.

Instead of pulling out books one by one like most people would try Naruto searched the edges of the bookcase looking for signs that it could be moved. He eventually found a few seals hidden in the framework. They were simple seals if a certain person pushed Chakra into the bookcase it would move. Naturally that person was not Naruto so he came up with a different idea.

Quietly Naruto pulled every single book of the bookcase and then as silently as possible he pushed it to the side revealing a hidden stairwell going down into darkness.

"So simple" Naruto smirked walking down the stairwell.

There were no traps after all who could break into the hokage's office without using Chakra? And if they did they'd set off all of the alarms and lock the building down.

After what flt like twenty flights of stairs Naruto found himself in a large underground , books, scrolls, armour and much more lined the walls. In the middle of the room on it's own pedestal lay the Forbidden Scroll. "Why is the greatest treasure always on display?" Naruto asked no one in particular as he picked up the scroll.

The second his hand touched the scroll his head swam, his eyes blurred and information filled his mind.

Long ago, there lived a thief who was so skilled at the art of taking that nothing was outside his grasp. Some said that he could steal the throne out from underneath a king, make off with the princess's smile, and snatch the stars from the night sky—all over the course of a single evening!

The Thief of Legend could do all of the fantastic things that people today describe.

This thief had fingers so light and nimble that some said he could steal the crown off the queen without her even noticing.

His movements were so quiet that death could not track him.

His plans were so cunning that he outwitted the gods at every turn. Artifacts guarded by thousands of angels vanished from Astral domains, and the only evidence that remained of the thief 's passing were the faint echoes of laughter where treasures once were held.

By Stealing the Scroll of Forbidden Knowledge from The Hokage's Tower you have proved yourself a thief, by doing it unseen with no alarm raised you have proved yourself a master thief. Now you will go from here and prove yourself a thief of legend with the technique Theft of the Intangible you can steal literally anything proving you are skilled enough.

Good thieving young one.

When the...voice? If that'[s what the last part was stopped further information filled naruto's mind and he liked what he learnt. He literally learnt to steal the sighs of maidens, the ambition of warlords, souls from death and much much much more.

Naruto smirked "I am going to have sooo much fun with this."

All over the elemental nations every ninja and a few civilians shuudered in fear before continuing on with what they were doing.

The hours passed with Naruto down in the library going over the information he had gained, he browsed through all of the objects and just generally waited.

At five am the Hokage walked into the library "it appears you were able to sneak in here after all" he said calmly.

Naruto grinned "yup and remember our bet if I can find and break into your hidden library you promote me to genin.

The hokage nodded, pulling some documents and a forehead protector out of his robes "care to tell me how you did it?"

Naruto took the documents and forehead protector "maybe some other time" he grinned "if I hurry I can get some breakfast before the genin tests start."

The hokage sighed "i'm going to regret this aren't I?"

"Yup" Naruto smirked running out the room.

After grabbing some breakfast Naruto got changed and casually made his way to the academy. Instead of his usual orang jumpsuit he was wearing a black trenchcoat with lot's of pockets, black cargo pants also with lot's of pockets, a plain grey shirt and black combat boots. The outfit wasn't made perfectly for stealth but it worked.

Walking into the class he smirked in amusement when only Hinata seemed to recognize him.

"er who are you?" Iruka asked confused.

Naruto pouted "you-you mean you don't recognize me Iruka-sensei? I thought we were friends" he said trying not to grin.

Iruka and everyone else in the class just stared, Naruto definitely looked different not to mention he looked good as a few girls noticed.

Chuckling quietly to himself Naruto walked to a nearby seat and fell into it. "Sooo are we going to start yet?" He asked.

Iruka shook his head to clear it before beginning "well class it has been an...interesting year and now it is time for your tests. We will start of with the physical ones outside so please gather your gear and meet me in the training yard."

Everyone muttered quietly to themselves trying to figure out what Naruto was up to as the boy just smirked, honestly did they actually expect him to prank everyone on graduation day?

The test was simpl throw ten kunai and ten shuriken. Normally Naruto excelled with his shuriken throwing but this time he missed everysingle target. The next test was a general endurance test run ten laps then do fifty pushups, Naruto did one lap and five pushups.

"Sorry I'm feeling a little unwell today" Naruto lied. Allmost everyone bought it.

As they were walking back into the class to do the written test Shikimaru walked up to him "you are failing on purpose why?" he asked quietly so no one could hear.

Naruto smirked and responded just as quietly "who said I haven't graduated already?" before taking a seat and leavuing an amused Shikamaru behind.

"Troublesome" the Nara muttered before taking his seat a small smirk on his face.

The written test went the same as the physical ones when it was being marked Iruka almost screamed at the butchered japanese Naruto used.

Then there was the Jutsu test.

"Perform a henge" Iruka ordered.

Naruto grinned and performed said Jutsu when the dust disappeareds he stood there looking exactly the same.

"Naruto there's no change" Iruka pointed out.

"what are you talking about Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked confused "my eyes are green now see."

Iruka looked and noticed that naruto's normally blue eyes were infact green "oookaaay perform a substitution."

Naruto tried and tripped on his face.

"A clone?" Iruka asked desperately.

It failed miserably.

"I'm sorry Naruto" Iruka sighed "but you have failed you will have to return to the academy for another year."

Naruto grinned "why will I be returning to the academy Iruka-sensei?"

Iruka hesitated he knew that grin it meant Naruto had something planned but he did not know what. "Naruto you failed all of the tests" Iruka sighed.

"So?" Naruto asked grinning even wider.

"You can't become a genin until you graduate" Naruto explained.

"So?"

"You failed the tests, thus you didn't graduate and you aren't a genin" Iruka said trying not to snap at the boy.

Naruto pulled out his forehead protector "but I did graduate the hokage made it official" Naruto scrunched his face up pretending to think "maybe he lied...I should go talk to him" Naruto decided rushing out the room leaving a gaping Iruka sitting there.

Outside in the hallway everyone stared at Naruto "huh I knew you'd fail Baka" Sakura shouted.

Naruto nodded "yup failed everysingle test" he grinned as he put his forehead protector back in his pocket "well I'm off see you guys later" he shouted running out the room.
