A/N: this is my first story so I'm really sorry if it's crappy. Please and tell me what I can do to make it better. Please excuse any bad grammar writing isn't my best subject. No pairings get vote on if you want it yaoi or not, I personally don't care so just review and tell me.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything naruto (if I did sakura would probably be dead or something like that). The only thing I own will be the characters I create, and that's only if I do create them.

Summary: Naruto isn't really what he appears to be, he's actually a highly skilled ANBU captain. At the age of eight he was sent to the academy to watch over Uchiha Sasuke. While he's there he must keep his cover as dead-last and dobe. How will this undercover assassin do when he is placed on team 7 with Hatake Kakashi as their sensei? (I know people write about this all the time but I can't stop thinking about this idea so I'm writing down)

Uzumaki Naruto walked calmly into the Hokage's office, his fox mask covering his ten year old face, and the only thing visible was his astonishing blonde hair. Even though he was only ten, he was one of the most elite ninja in Konoha. Since the age of seven, after he was kicked out of the orphanage, he was orders by the Hokage to live at ANBU headquarters. While there he had gained everyone's trust and he became something like a little brother to them. A very powerful little brother. At the age of eight he became an ANBU and at age nine ANBU captain.

Closing the door quietly, Naruto bowed to the Hokage before removing his mask. Once it was removed, a bright, fox like smile was revealed. What made his smile fox like were the three whisker like scars on each of his cheeks, a characteristic from the Kyuubi no kitsune that was sealed within him.

"Ohayo, Jiji-san!" Said blonde exclaimed. "What's the mission for today?"

"Good morning Naruto, nice to see you again." The hokage greeted. "The mission you will be receiving is a long term one. Are you prepared to take it?" As this was said his voice grew serious.

"Hai Jiji-san, just tell me what it is." Naruto said, now in serious ANBU mode.

"You will go undercover to the academy and keep surveillance of Uchiha Sasuke. Understood?"He paused to sigh, "After the Uchiha massacre earlier this month, I feel it's unsafe for him to be left alone; and since you are the youngest ANBU we have I think it suitable for you to take this mission." Finished the old man.

"May I ask will I still be doing missions of my level with my team or is it you want me to revert back to genin level?" asked Naruto, a grin playing on his lips.

"Of course you will, I can't let my best ninja go to waste for four years. Actually there is an easy B-rank assassination mission for you and your team tonight on the outskirts of Fire Country, will you take it?"

"Only B-rank?! You've gotta be kidding me! What's with all of these chunin level missions all of a sudden?!" Screeched Naruto angrily.

"Calm down, it's not my fault there hasn't been anything interesting coming up lately." The poor old Hokage told the overly childish ANBU.

"Fine whatever. Later Jiji-san" With that said he shunshined out of the room.

As soon as he left a man with unnaturally spiky hair that seemed to defy gravity walked into the room, a mask and leaf head band covering about half of his face, leaving only one eye revealed.

"Hokage-sama, what was with the screaming a moment age?" Hatake Kakashi asked, pulling out his trade mark orange book, courtesy of Jariya.

"Nothing, just the Naruto being… well Naruto I guess." Was the reply Kakashi got. "Anyway, why are you here so late at night?"

"Oh I just wanted to see what Naruto would be up to." Putting his book back into his weapons pouch and looking up with his one eye, "It seems like only yesterday that he came into ANBU HQ under your orders." He sighed the continued, "he's changed so much in the last three years. Makes me kinda sad in a way."

"I know, it saddens me too; but it was the only way to stop the council from bugging me and the only way to keep him alive. It would pain me so if we had to kill him." Unfortunately for the Hokage, Kakashi had already left, book in hand.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Naruto made his way home down the streets, dressed in a black baggy t-shirt with the Uzumaki swirl on the back, and a pair of red baggy shorts. On his feet was a pair of black ninja sandals. Ignoring the glares that were thrown at him and the quiet mutters of 'demon child', he walked on. As he travelled, he passed a park with kids his age and younger with their parents, playing on the swings or digging in the sand box. When he looked at them many of the parents glared at him, told him to go away, or told their child he was a bad boy and not to play with him.

Slowly he continued his walk home again, taking on the look of a sad little boy, but really was thinking, 'stupid people, don't even know me and they're judging'. Reaching his apartment on the outskirts of the village he walked up to the door and opened it. The only reason he got the place was because he and others had agreed that he had spent too long at ANBU HQ and should get his own place; one week later he was transferred into his apartment.

As he went inside the first things he saw were piles of instant ramen cups. Now even though he was an elite ninja didn't mean he couldn't like ramen (actually it was the only thing that he loved in his ninja life and civilian life that was real). Quickly picking up some miso ramen he went to his small kitchen and heated some water on the stove. When it was finished he poured it into the ramen and began to eat it slowly, reflecting on the long term mission ahead of him.

Deciding to consult Kyuubi on the matter he shut his eyes and when he opened them again, he was in a large room with water dripping from the ceiling and bars protruding from the ground. Behind the bars was a giant fox, the Kyuubi no Kitsune.

"Kyuu, I need to discuss something with you." Naruto told the giant demon before him.

"What is it Kit?" Kyuubi asked, wondering what said blonde could possibly need help with.

"Well, I've been assigned a long term mission to watch over the Uchiha, the thing is I don't know how to act in a situation like this." He paused, "what would you do, I mean, I can't draw attention to myself but I can't act superior either."

"Kit, calm down alright. Firstly why do you care how you act, you're just going to be watching from the shadows right?" The demon asked with no general concern in his voice.

"Well the thing is, I have to enroll in the academy so that I can keep a better eye on him. Heh heh." Naruto stated nervously. Kyuubi could be really mean sometimes and it kinda scared him a bit.

"-sigh- How would I act huh? I guess I would act dead last or something like that as to not bring attention to myself but to also so people don't think much of my ability. Also I would be loud, noisy, and plain out annoying; but that's ju-" He was interrupted by Naruto yelling.

"That's a brilliant idea Kyuu; if I act like that no one will suspect anything. Thanks for the help!" With that said and done, Naruto left his mind-scape. He looked around trying to regain his sense and also look for the time, when he spotted it, he nearly (nearly being the key word) screamed at how late he was going to be for his mission.

Waiting in the Hokage's office were the Hokage himself and two other ANBU members. Their masks were tilted to the side, revealing their faces. The first ANBU was obviously a female, with the very un-flat chest and the short but feminine dark purple hair. Yes she was Mitarashi Anko, or snake.

The other ANBU had tanner skin and a scar running across the bridge of his nose. His hair was tied in a pony tail and was a chocolate brown of sorts. Many know him as Umino Iruka, a.k.a. falcon.

As their names suggest, their masks were that of a snake and falcon.

"Grr! Where is the baka!?" Anko screeched as she waited. As many know, Anko wasn't the most patient person in the world, unlike he fellow ANBU member, Iruka.

"Maybe he ate too much ramen and got stuck in the door on the way out." Iruka joked

"For your information I DIDN'T EAT TO MUCH RAMEN!! Screeched a rather annoyed Naruto, standing in the door fully dressed in his ANBU gear, minus his ANBU mask which was in his hand.

"Heh heh, sorry Naruto just joking." Apologized Iruka with a smile on his face.

"Yeah yeah whatever you say Iruka-sensei." Naruto added emphasis on the 'sensei' because from the next day onward, Iruka would also be undercover posing as Naruto and Sasuke's home-room teacher. "Anyway, who's the target tonight?" The blonde asked turning his attention towards the Hokage.

"Hmm, let's see" the sound of paper being shuffled filled the room. "Oh here we are, the target is twenty seven year old Fuugaka Tsuka, around chunin level and to be assassinated for the murder of a fellow leaf shinobi." With the report done the old man looked up at the squad of ninja in front of him. "Do you accept this?"

"Hai." They chorused together. And with that, they disappeared.

(Time Skip: four years later)

" NARUTO!!! GET BACK HERE!!!" Yelled a seemingly pissed Iruka. He was currently chasing his ANBU captain through the streets of Konoha trying to 'captured' him for vandalizing the Hokage faces.

"Heh heh there's no way you can catch me Iruka-sensei! Dattebayo!" Naruto yelled back, while jumping from roof to roof, Iruka in pursuit.

Unknown to the people around them that they were two of the best ninja in the village and both were thinking, 'this is so boring, why am I doing this again?'

Ten minutes later Naruto had been 'caught' and was currently tied up in front of the class, a pout stuck on his face.

"Okay class" Iruka started, "because of Naruto's little prank, we're having a test."

The class groaned in unison.

"Okay first, Haruno Sakura." Called Iruka.

Sakura stepped up, created the hand signs for the transformation jutsu, and henged into an exact replica of her sense.

"Good Sakura. Okay, next Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke stepped up a stoic expression on his face. Like before with Sakura he transformed into Iruka. After he was done half of the girls in the class, excluding Hinata, squealed.

"Good as always. Naruto you're next."

The girl next to Naruto glared at him and said, "great job genius." Sarcasm laced every word.

"Shut up Ino" retorted Naruto.

As with Sasuke and Sakura, Naruto made the hand signs, but instead of turning into Iruka, he turned into a naked lady with smoke covering her 'lady parts'. Almost instantly Iruka fell over with a nose bleed.

"NARUTO!!! You baka, what was that?!" Iruka screamed for the second time that day.

"Isn't that obvious?" Stated said blonde, "it's a naked lady." After saying that he transformed back.

Just as Iruka was about to say something the bell rang, dismissing students, but to keep up their act, Naruto was caught by his shirt while trying to leave the class room by Iruka.

When they were both sure everybody had left, the brunet released his hold on the blonde and they both shunshined to separate locations to change and report to the Hokage's office.
