Name: Uzumaki Naruto

Status: ANBU Captain

Rank: S-class – Solo mission

Mission: To be placed on a Genin team. Report to Sandaime Hokage for further instruction.

"What the hell?" Naruto mumbled as he looked at the scroll in front of him.

Uzumaki Naruto, age 12, has been a ninja since the tender age of five. He has been an elite ninja since the age of nine and Captain of the ANBU since the age of 11. During Naruto's young life the Sandaime Hokage believed that he needed to be skilled to protect himself from the many attempts on his life by people ranging from ordinary villagers to high ranking ninja. So, the Hokage gathered up high-ranking ninja that had no grudge against Naruto to teach him. The ninja teaching him had to keep it a secret and could not let anybody know. They obliged and taught Naruto, one by one. At first, Naruto didn't understand why he was getting all this help and training, so he demanded an answer. It was then that he discovered that he was the container of the great Kyuubi no Kitsune and needed to be skilled in order to protect himself so nobody could let it loose. It wasn't a shock to him but a relief to know the real reason why he wasn't liked.

Naruto trained, learned, and trained some more. He was considered a genius because of his fast learning and the ability to understand and memorize things very quickly. Through his secretive teachings, he was promoted to Genin, then Chuunin, then Jounin by exams given by the Hokage. When he reached Jounin rank, he was not taught anymore because he was considered powerful enough… but Naruto didn't want to be 'powerful enough'. Thus, Naruto learned by scrolls he 'borrowed' from the Hokage's secret scroll library. He was addicted to learning more and more so he could become the Hokage and also prevent a total massacre if the Kyuubi was let loose.

One day when Naruto was picking out a new scroll for a lightning jutsu, the Hokage discovered him. Naruto was yelled at and had to confess that he learned all jutsu from about 1/3 of the library. That earned him a punishment of a month without training and a promotion to ANBU rank. When Naruto was an ANBU he became the best, having every single mission a success. He never failed one. He showed great teamwork during his group missions and amazing stealth and wisdom in his solo missions. Nobody but the Hokage knew the true identity of this amazing ANBU. Everybody else knew him as Gingitsune. Two years had gone by with this unusual perfection and he was promoted to captain. Months later Naruto is picking up a mission scroll, reading it and freaking out.

Naruto knocked on the door of the Hokage's office. He heard a faint 'enter' and walked in.

"Hokage-sama… What is this mission?" Naruto said waving the mission scroll around.

The Hokage looked up from the stack of papers in front of him and placed his hands together. "This mission is very important and will take a while but it must be done. Allies, informants and some undercover ninja have given useful information to us. With this array of information, we were able to piece together many things. Though this plan is in the early stages there is solid evidence of an attack in the upcoming Chuunin exams."

"How am I involved in all of this? Who will attack us? Most importantly, why?" Naruto asked.

"We do not know who will be the ones against the attack but there are many possible suspects. And why, you ask, I do not know. You are involved in this because in order to enter the Chuunin exams you must be in three man cells. The academy just had their Genin exams and there is an uneven number. Since you are the only high ranking ninja of their age, you will be placed into a team and you must work with them so they will be nominated for the Chuunin exams. This way you can gather information from Genin of other countries and be involved and in places that we cannot be without suspicion."

Naruto was silent in thought. This doesn't seem like any normal mission but I suppose I have to do this. He sighed. "Hai, Hokage-sama. I will do this mission."

"Excellent. Report to room 104 at the academy tomorrow morning. There you will be assigned your teammates and sensei and your mission will officially begin." The Hokage said. Hopefully you will gain comrades and precious people. You've been alone for too long Naruto… too long.

Naruto bowed and exited the office, heading back to his home. He entered, locked the door, took off his shoes and went into his room. Naruto fell back on his bed and put his hands behind his head. I'm perfectly content with staying as an ANBU and this mission will be terrible. The Chuunin exam is months away, and without regular real missions to keep my mind off things… Naruto frowned and shook his head.

"This is gonna suck."

Gingitsune means 'silver fox', by the way.

It's short… but it's a start. Is this interesting? Shall I continue? If you like it I swear it will get better. I have like a million ideas running through my head.
