Chapter 2: Brutal Graduation?
Naruto jumped in the air laughing, dressed in a dark grey jump suit, with dark red trimming.
"Naruto! You're not going to get away with it this time!" The two chunin behind him yelled. Naruto just smirked, he hit the ground and made it seem like he continued on, the chunin followed. Then he stepped out of a shadowed wall
"I didn't even try, to hide my presence." He laughed.
"They're weak, what do you expect?" Naruto frown. The kyubi thought everyone was weak, and pointed it out constantly. The only difference with Naruto, was that the kyubi was teaching him everything he new of survival, so he wouldn't be so weak.
Naruto stopped walking. He sensed Iruka sensei was close. Quickly he jumped over the fence and crouched down. 'Damn, why is he here? Shouldn't he be heading to class soon?'
"With all the running you did around town, playing with you pursuers, he probably though he could catch you." 'No crap,' He thought back. 'But he still can't catch me.' Naruto listened to the sounds around him, smelled all the smells, and sensed every bit of chakra. He new Iruka was only three feet away, on the other side of this fence. But if there was one thing Naruto could do, it was disappear.
Iruka sensei growled in frustration. "Were the hell did he go! I know he was right here, I could sense his chakra!" He looked over at the faces of previous Hokage's, which were now painted. "I'm not going to let you get away with this!" He continued to look for Naruto's hiding place. Meanwhile Naruto quickly ran in the other direction, making no sound, suppressing all his smell and chakra, he didn't even affect the blades of grass he was now running across.
'To easy!' He though as he jump onto the roof of the building in front of him. 'No one can fine me if I don't want them to!'
"And who do you have to thank for that? If you were strong enough, you wouldn't need to hide yourself!"
Over the last six years, Naruto was secretly training on the kyubi's advice. It had taught him how to heighten his sense of smell, hearing, and taste. It had also taught him how to trust your instincts in a fight, and hide every sign of your presence from enemies. It even taught him how to call on kyubi's chakra at will. Though after the incident form six years before, he hasn't fully called it out again. The malice alone would alert the entire town to its presence. The only thing kyubi couldn't help him with, was justu, aside from the kind without names or hand signs. Like the silent walk he was currently using. (See ending notes for details)
Naruto effortlessly jumped from roof to roof, even doing this he made no sound, disturbed not one grain of sand that was on the roofs. The art of silent walk had been the best thing kyubi had taught him. Unlike tree walking and water walking justu, which was learn through intense charka control, silent walk was something Naruto had made into instinct. Naruto had heard what to do, and what it was supposed to do, from the Kyubi. But given how Naruto couldn't control his chakra flow very well, Kyubi had recommended always using it until Naruto didn't even realize in was on. Of course this meant that for almost two years he couldn't walk straight.

Iruka sensei walk to his classroom door and opened it.
"Damn it Naruto, making me late for my own class." He muttered under his breath.
"How'd I make you late?" Iruka lifted his head and starred at Naruto, who seemed to be innocently sitting in his desk, as if he was there for hours. This of course, was not the case.
"I was chasing you through out the village, thanks to you painting the Hokage monument." Iruka answered sarcastically.
"If you were looking for me you should have went here first, I do have class you know?" Naruto smirked at him. "And I don't know anything about the monument." Iruka smiled evilly at Naruto.
"Is that so? Well I'm sorry to here you'll be cleaning someone else's mess off the mountain, after class is over."
"What!?" Naruto yelled jumping out of his seat. Several of the other students giggled at the look of terror on Naruto's face. "That's not fair! I only did it to…" he quickly clasped his hand over his mouth.
"You're a fool." Kyubi laughed at him.
"So! Since you have enough time to paint monuments, and lie to your teachers, you must be pretty confident about tomorrow?" The sarcasm was hard to miss in Iruka's voice
"Humph!" Naruto turned him head the other way. Iruka growled at him then said.
"Were doing a transformation test now! Even those who passed already have to take it!"
--
Naruto laid on his bed, eye wide open. "Tomorrow I become a real ninja." He said out loud.
"And then what?"
"What do you mean then what?! Then I get to go on a team, with a real high ranked ninja! Who will strengthen all of my current skills, as well as tried to make up for my lack, of other skills! I'll get to learn real justu, and become much more powerful! I'll get to go on real missions, and get real battle experience! I might even become a hero of the village, in my first year!" He stopped for a moment and thought of kyubi's point of view, then added. "By slaughtering my enemies and taking prisoners to be interrogated." The last was said with out his normal enthusiasm.
"Sounds interesting, but will you pass? You have superior stealth skills, thanks to me. Your strength, speed, and reflexes, are also above most of your class, thanks to me. You ability to identify allies, and enemies, through hearing, and smell, is also thanks to me. But you have a hard time even learning small justu. It took you nearly 2 years to learn the silent walk; it had only taken me a week to create it."
"Shut up fox!" Naruto rolled over in his bed. "I've learned almost every justu they have, as long as it's not clone justu I'll be fine."
"And if it is?"
"Then were stuck at the academy, or I'll have to find another way to graduate. And no, I have no idea what that could be?!" Naruto closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
--
"When you name is called, come to the classroom next door." Iruka explained to his students. "The subject with be clone justu."
"Damn it!" Naruto said out loud.
"Naruto, please refrain from swearing in class!" Iruka starred him down.
"So what are you going to do now kid?" Kyubi asked. Naruto ignored both of them.
Across the room, Hinata looked at Naruto worriedly; she could still remember the day he saved her. 'Try your best Naruto.' She prayed.
--
Naruto sat on the swing listening to the children talk to their parents.
"You are weak." The kyubi added coldly. "You will always be weak, unless you listen to me. I can give you power enough to torture every teacher in the school! I can help you force them to make you graduate! I can help you destroy…" Naruto touched his scar and severed the link, he was depressed enough as it was, and although hurting his teachers did seem appealing, he'd rather not listen through one of kyubi's rants.
He listened to two women talk about how he should never become a ninja because of kyubi, then Mizuki sensei showed up.
Hinata was holding her fathers hand, though he was as sullen as always there was a glint of pride in his eyes. Then she heard the women talk. Her father frowned toward them but did not interfere. Hinata looked at Naruto as they talked. She knew something was different about Naruto, something that made most people hate him. If not for the incident were he saved her live, she might have though he was a normal boy. She wanted to help him, to comfort him. 'If only I had the courage.' She thought as her father lead her away.
--
Naruto listened to Mizuki's advice with excitement, now caring the scroll to the woods he was ready to start. Then his connection with Kyubi was back. 'Sorry I forgot I did that.' Naruto apologized.
"Doesn't this seem too convenient?" Kyubi asked ignoring Narutos apology. "This sounds like a trap."
"Shut up!" Naruto yelled. He was in no mood for his pessimism. He took out the scroll and stated to read. After a while he mastered the first justu, and then Iruka showed up.
"Hey Naruto!" He growled. Naruto scratch his head in defeat. Having been training so hard, he didn't mask his presence.
"Oh man, I got caught." He continued to scratch his head. "Hey, hey, I'm going to so you a great technique so that I can graduate!" Naruto waved his hands in excitement. "If I show you a technique from this scroll, I can graduate, right?" Iruka's eyes widened in shock.
"Who told you that?!"
"Mizuki-sensei. He told me about the scroll and this place Mizu…" He stopped at Iruka's terrified look.
"I told you it was too convenient kid." Suddenly Iruka pushed Naruto out of the way, and intercepted several kunai.
"You let your guard down!" Kyubi complained to Naruto as the hit he ground.
"I'm surprised you found out about this place." Mizuki spoke as he landed on a tree limb.
"I see, so that's how it is." Iruka growled.
Mizuki looked at Naruto. "Naruto hand over the scroll." Naruto just starred menacingly at Mizuki.
"Naruto, don't let him get the scroll no mater what." Iruka ordered as he pulled a kunai out of his leg. "That's a dangerous scroll with forbidden techniques. Mizuki used you so that he could get a hold of it!"
'No kidding.' Naruto though sarcastically, as he prepared to fight.
"Naruto, Iruka is afraid of you possessing that." Mizuki explained, but Naruto was unaffected. Mizuki then laughed, "I'll tell you the truth. A rule was created after the incident that occurred 12 years ago. It's a rule only you don't know." Naruto continued to stare at Mizuki, trying to asses his weaknesses. "It's a rule not to say, that Naruto is a monster fox. In other words, you are the demon fox that killed Iruka's parents, and almost destroyed the village!"
'Is that true? Did you kill Iruka's parents?' He asked kyubi mentally.
"Probably, I didn't ask my victims for names."He answered sarcastically. Then Mizuki continued.
"You've been deceived by the village all this time. Didn't you think it was weird for everyone to hate you?"
'He talks too much.' Naruto thought.
"Everyone hates you! Even Iruka! Die Naruto!" Mizuki threw a large shuriken at Naruto.
'To easy.' Naruto though as he prepared to dodge the weapon. Suddenly he was knocked down. Looking up he saw Iruka had been the one to push him, down and take the hit. 'Idiot! Why did you do that, know your hurt even more!' He thought.
"Why…?" was all that came out of Naruto's mouth?
"Because were the same." Iruka started to explain; while he struggled against the pain, of have the large shuriken in his back. "After my Parents died, no one ever recognized me. Being the bad student I was, I screwed up a lot during class… because I wanted to get everyone's attention. I couldn't get anyone's attention when I was a good student… so I acted like an idiot. It was tough…" Naruto watched stunned as Iruka started to cry. "Right, Naruto? You were lonely, right? It was tough right?" Naruto stared to get up a little.
'I… I had no idea." He thought.
"I'm sorry Naruto. You wouldn't have had to feel that way, if I was more aware." Iruka finished. Mizuki started laughing.
"Don't make me laugh! Iruka has hated you since you killed his parents!" He yelled. "He just wants to get that scroll back!" Naruto clenched his teeth in raged, he pick himself up and stood in front of Iruka, staring at the ground.
"I knew already…" he said sadly. "I new about the Kyubi, and why everyone hated me."
"Naruto…" Iruka looked at him in sad realization.
"But!" Naruto looked straight at Mizuki in rage. "For hurting Iruka! For tricking me! For going against the village! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" Naruto made the hand sign to gather chakra. "Mass shadow clone justu!" The clearing was filled with over a hundred Narutos, all converging on Mizuki. Iruka watched with pride, as they beat Mizuki to a pulp. His ear splitting screams filled the air.
After Naruto had finished, Mizuki's bones were shatter in both arms and legs, he had a skull fracture, and several broken ribs, as well as sever swelling on all areas.
"Impressive brutality. You might have a chance yet." Commented the Kyubi in Naruto's mind.
"He he, I guess I over did it." Naruto scratch the back of his head in pleasure. "Iruka sensei, are you ok?"
"Yeah…" He looked at his student with pried. "Naruto close you eyes for a second I have something to give you." Naruto closed his eyes and felt Iruka fiddling with his goggles, when he opened them again he was wearing Iruka's headband. "Congratulations, you graduate!" The Kyubi stated laughed in the back of Naruto's mind.
"You really are a lucky brat! You got everything you wanted, you graduated, you got a new justu, and you almost beat one of your teachers to death!" Naruto came out of his stunned looked and smiled at kyubi's comments.
"Alright time to celebrate. I'll treat you to ramen!" Iruka told him happily. Naruto was happy enough to kiss Iruka, but settle for tackling him to the ground with a hug.

Ok that's the end of chapter 2, and I know, it's mostly the first episode with a few changes, but the next chapter and all the ones after that will not be canon events, except if I decide to use the chunin exam.
Authors Notes on new justu, characters, and other fun stuff:
Silent walk justu: a jutsu developed by the kyubi, while it was still a low ranking demon, in order to escape his enemies notice. While eliminating the presence of sound, smell, and chakra, is relatively easy for animals, and higher skilled ninjas. evidence of there presence could always be found in footprints, disturbed dirt, smudges on rocks, moving leaves, and even ripples in water. The silent walk justu uses just enough chakra so that the user can stand, run, or jump on said items without actually affecting them. Similar to water walk justu, but a higher level. Naruto and kyubi both uses/used the justu, while hiding all evidence of their chakra use.
Naruto's new clothing: Naruto choose his new clothing on both his skills and the kyubi's request's. The kyubi's favorite color is red, and Narutos specialty is stealth, there for the dark grey jumpsuit is for stealth, and the dark red trim is to please kyubi. (Cause he can be real annoying if he wants to be.
