Chapter 1: Becoming a Ninja

This is a Naruto & Beelzebub fanfiction. I do not own either and this is a Naruto & Hilda fanfic. It starts the night when Naruto steals the Forbidden Scroll.

Naruto's POV

This should be easy! I do this every day, I just need to sneak into jiji's office and take a scroll to learn a jutsu. Okay, let's do this! Tonight the guards are in a Delta formation and switching post in ten seconds giving me a six-second window. I take a deep breath and start counting backwards. Jyu... Kyu... Hachi... Nana... Roku... Go... Shi... San... Ni... Ichi...! Then I run across right into the office as I roll into the office the ANBU switch and I am safe. I go into the scroll room and take the largest scroll. As I am scoping my exit from the window, I hear jiji clear his throat behind me. Oh dear God! Jiji found me and now I cannot be a ninja. No! I will not accept this so I use my special move Oiroke no jutsu and voila, jiji the pervert is down. I jump out of the window and head towards the training ground behind the academy.

As soon, I get to the academy I see there are two training grounds on each side of the Academy and I cannot remember, which one Mizuki sensei asked me to go towards. Damn it my forgetfulness is going to cost me my headband. Then I chose the training ground with the river thinking that I do not want my scent followed. I store the scroll in a waterproof storage scroll and swim across. I open the scroll ready to learn the one jutsu that will make me the strongest ninja. I open the scroll and the first jutsu is Kage no Bunshin. Damn it all, even the scroll is mocking me! Jiji probably knew that the Bunshin was my weakest jutsu and added this as a challenge. That was the jutsu I knew it! I started reading the instructions; it just needed one hand-sing, which looked like the Kai sign. It said that I needed a lot of chakra and once I built it up then release it with the jutsu name. The rest were some big words such as corporal double for safe recon and assassination missions and some mumbo jumbo about memory overload due to sensory recall. Not understanding these, I just decided to learn the damn jutsu before Mizuki sensei found me.

I know I can do this so, I cross my fingers in the T formation and start building up chakra. Initially I use enough chakra to do a Kawakiri no Jutsu and release but all I get is thrown away from the scroll and a damn smoke cloud. Damn it this jutsu is hard, but jiji trusts me with it or else he would not have put it first in the scroll. I brush my orange overalls and start again. I keep building chakra until I can control it, I can feel chakra seeping out of my cores, and now then, I shout Kage no Bunshin and release all the energy thinking of making one clone. There is a large amount of smoke and then I see a perfect copy of myself in front of me.

Datebayyo I did! I made a damn clone. I am so excited that I high-five the clone and then our hands connect. I cannot believe it the clone is real. So, I send it to the other training ground to wait for Mizuki sensei. I open the scroll and find another jutsu, this one is the Bunshin Daibakuha, and it is an exploding clone. Oh, man! I cannot wait to learn this one. I keep doing the hand-sings until I can remember them without looking at the scroll. Then I pump-up the same amount of chakra as a Kage no Bunshin and release the chakra while shouting Bunshin Daibakuha. I get a perfect clone but send it into the water and then use the Kai command to release it. The force is amazing, it was a good thing that the clone was underwater or else the whole of Konoha would have known my location. I see two more jutsu related to the Kage no Bunshin they are Kunai no Bunshin and Shiruken no Bunshin. I have to channel my chakra into the weapon and do the hand-sings while throwing it so that it multiplies. I pull out a kunai and follow the instructions in the scroll. I charge the kunai with chakra and throw it, and my word does it travel faster. I quickly do the hand-signs and think of making ten kunai. The one kunai turns into ten and they imbed into the tree. I pull each bunshin kunai out; check whether it is authentic, and I am pleased that is the case.

Okay so one hour has passed and I have another hour before Mizuki-sensei comes looking for me. I think about making more clones with the amount of chakra I used until the clones are dead like my normal Bunshin. I build the amount of chakra that I had with the clone I sent to the other training ground and think of making ten clones while releasing the chakra and shouting Kage no Bunshin. I am shocked to see ten perfect clones with less cloud and I understand the cloud is wasted chakra. Using this analogy, I instruct the clones to build-up half their chakra and release it while trying to make five clones. Each clone does so and this time there is not smoke, meaning that the clones performed the technique perfectly. Then I make the five clones' build-up half their chakra and release it into one clone. The clones perform this task but there is a little smoke meaning they used some extra chakra.

I instruct each clone starting from my first ten to perform the Kunai no Bunshin and that they have to charge the kunai with enough chakra into the kunai without dispelling, and to think of 100 kunai when doing the jutsu. I tell them to do it one by one. The challenge is that the clone with the least smoke wins while I kill of the rest and the winner wins three Naruto size Ramen bowls at Ichiraku's as a victory present. The first clone throws and there is some smoke, and the same happens with the other nine. These ten are at a draw so I head to the next fifty that were created from the original ten. The very first clone that throws causes less smoke so I call the ten and throw the bunshin kunai at them. I kill them one by one and suddenly I know all that they did in their short life and suddenly I realize what the scroll meant by perfect recon clone. These clones remembered everything, even the chakra usage; but I was not the only one who got this information, the rest of the clones got it too. Now I knew what I had to do, I instructed the clone that threw the kunai to dispel and I got its knowledge too. I knew the exact amount of chakra required for one Kage Bunshin and the amount required in reducing the smoke cloud by half in the Kunai no Bunshin jutsu.

I tell the remaining clones that one by one each one had to perform the Kunai no Bunshin until I could do it with no smoke for 100 kunai. Each performs it with less chakra because they learn from the mistakes of their predecessors. Now I can make 100-bunshin kunai without smoke but I still have the last batch of fifty left. I tell them to reduce the number of kunai produced and watch as clones reduce the kunai one by one. I watch them and the number of kunai is down to fifty without the smoke. I still have fifteen minutes and I know I can reduce the number to two in those precious minutes. I built chakra required for one clone and then increase it by a factor of fifty and release the chakra. I see fifty clones in front of me and they line up in front of the tree and get to work without even receiving instructions. It seems that if I think of what I want them to do I do not have to tell them. In about ten minutes my clones are done and I can make anywhere between one and one hundred kunai.

That is when I get my clones memories back. Mizuki lied to me, he is a traitor, and he used my desperation to steal the Forbidden Scroll. Oh, dear god! The Kyūbi sealed inside me is the reason that everyone hates me. I need to save Iruka-sensei. What if he hates me because of the Kyūbi? Damn it all, he can hate me but I need to save him. I run towards the location that my clone died and I have already sent a henged clone as an ANBU to jiji with the scroll. I make Kage no Bunshin and I henge into jiji and the clones as my ANBU guards. We silently sneak into the battle zone and then I hear the conversation between the two men.

Mizuki: Oh, naïve Iruka, why are you defending the Kyūbi brat. You know the Kyūbi craves power and now the brat stole the Forbidden Scroll. I mean come on you could have had your revenge against Kyūbi for killing your parents but you not only covered him from my Fūma Shiruken but also let him do a kawakiri and escape.

Iruka: Mizuki I know that the Kyūbi is evil and that it only lusts for power but that is not the case for my student Naruto. Naruto is misunderstood and he needs guidance because he is alone. Naruto is not the Kyūbi he is the Most Unpredictable Ninja.

I felt like crying but composed myself into my Hokage role and walked into the field. I released some chakra and shouted in jiji's voice "Surrender Mizuki, your ruse is up!" Mizuki looked startled and I used this one moment to have my bunshin ANBU knock him unconscious. The bunshin restrained him and removed all his weapons. Then I had one bunshin take Iruka to the hospital telling him that scroll and I were safe. I changed backed into my normal form and using my bunshin started to walk towards jiji's office. The same jiji who did not tell me about my container status but told the entire village that hated me. I suddenly did not feel so good anymore, but I had to do this. My first and last mission as a ninja of Konoha had to end properly. So, I put a brave face and let my bunshin carry Mizuki with me in the front. I had to think quickly because I did not want punishment for the scroll so I dismissed my clones and let Mizuki's body fall onto the hard floor. I then started to drag him using his feet but not before turning his face onto the floor. As I climbed each step of the Hokage tower, I felt vindication because the traitorous bastards face banged on each step.

I reached jiji's office and knocked because I had to be professional. I waited for jiji to say enter and stepped into the office with Mizuki on my shoulder. I could not look at the floor or jiji's eyes so I looked at his desk. Before jiji could speak I cleared my throat and said, "Good evening Hokage-sama. I Naruto Uzumaki come to your office with two criminals. One Chūnin instructor Mizuki and one civilian Naruto Uzumaki. Mizuki revealed an S-rank secret about the Kyūbi no Kitsune's container and his position in the academy to plot the theft of the Forbidden Scroll, and attacking a fellow Leaf ninja. I Naruto am turning myself for stealing said scroll, harming the Hokage, injuring a Konoha ninja, and impersonating of the Hokage and his ANBU." After saying my piece, I was ready to face punishment as a man, and met jiji's eyes to figure out his reaction. Jiji just had his eyebrow hidden in his hat and a small smirk on his face. I started getting nervous and looked down on my feet. I started shuffling my feet until I heard jiji laughing.

Hiruzen POV

I had a very stressful day of signing paperwork and fighting the council about Naruto's punishment. Then I had an unknown ANBU deliver me the Forbidden Scroll before vanishing in a plume of smoke and reports of an unknown ANBU dropping Iruka to the hospital. To top the icing on the cake with a cherry I had a very serious Naruto in front of me with Mizuki on his feet giving me a mission report. Oh, log I could not contain myself and I started laughing. Even though the traitorous behavior of Mizuki is unexpected, the fact that Naruto can make me laugh in this situation is hilarious. Naruto looks up to my face searching the answers in my eyes and I tell him "Naruto you do not have to call me Hokage-sama I like the refreshing jiji once in a while, and you did nothing wrong. You trusted your senior officer and teacher and followed orders and when the mission went down the toilet, you saved a fellow ninja's life and caught a traitor alive. You used your resources to the best of your disposal. Also Naruto I know you are angry with me right now for not telling you about the Kyūbi but you need to know that none of the kids around your age know about your status. You are not the Kyūbi only its container. Now let me call my ANBU to take this man to Ibiki Morino in torture unit and then we will talk."

Naruto's POV

I felt a sense of relief after hearing jiji talk and kicked Mizuki in the face once more before the ANBU with the Neko mask took him. Jiji then turned to me and told me that I was a ninja who accomplished his first B-rank mission and got my headband a large amount of money for my wallet Gama-chan. He asked me if I learnt any jutsu from the scroll and I told him that I learnt only one. I had to keep my cards close to my chest now that I knew the reason for my hatred. I also knew that jiji could know about my parents but chose not to tell me. So I told him that it took me two hours to learn Kage Bunshin and performed it for him with extra smoke and then dispelled the clone. I faked a yawn and told jiji good night. He said that teams got together in three weeks and that I had some time to rest. I went home plopped on my bed and fell asleep to my thoughts of training in my new ground tomorrow.
