"Wow! Jeez, it's about time you joined the academy, huh Naruto?" A loud voice echoed in Naruto's left ear as he ate his lunch while leaning on a tree, his eyes closed as he savored the sandwich he had made earlier that day.

He opened one eye lazily, the seven year old looking left and seeing an old acquaintance, Tenten, standing happily over him.

"You can only join when you're seven." He responded. "And when we met, I was six. It was only a matter of time before I joined." Tenten frowned at his logical answer before grinning, realization over her face.

"I already passed my first year, so that means I'm your senior, you should call me, Tenten-senpai." Naruto opened his other eye, grey eyes meeting brown for the second time that year and he sighed.

"No."

"No?" She responded questioningly. "What do you mean, 'no'? I'm your senpai now because I have more experience." Naruto rolled his eyes.

"But only academically. And even then, I'm not too sure. My dad has been training me a lot." Tenten smirked.

"Oh, is that a challenge I'm hearing? Well come on then!" She took a jump back, brandishing a dull kunai. Then, a boy with long hair walked in between them, his pale white eyes boring into Naruto.

"Tenten, don't waste your time with the freshy, he's not worth your time." Naruto rose an eyebrow, setting aside his sandwich and standing up, cracking arm by twisting it sideways.

"Interesting, a Hyuga with a stick lodged so far up their ass that it's become a pleasant feeling for them, how surprising." Naruto said to the Hyuga sarcastically. "Now if you'll go on somewhere, I have someone to beat." Tenten looked offended at his statement.

"I'm gonna wipe that cocky look off your face in an instant!" The long haired boy's face twisted in a rage.

"How dare you mock the Hyuga?!" He yelled furiously, charging the boy as his Byakugan activated, a smirk appearing on his young face as he instantly saw all of Naruto's weak spots. Naruto sighed as he saw the boy charged him, and almost instantly a wooden sword appeared in his hands and he knocked the boy in the forehead, causing him to fall on his butt. 

"If this were a real sword, you'd be dead." Naruto said casually, stepping over the Hyuga that was rubbing his forehead, as if the dull pain would disappear if he did so. "Now, come on Tenten, I gotta go back to class in two minutes." 

Tenten smirked before she charged the grey haired boy, who only looked at her with disinterest before her kunai suddenly multiplied into ten, causing the boy's eyes to widen as she threw them at him with deadly accuracy, making him take a few steps back and then have to block them with his sword, which impaled the wood.

"Dad's gonna kill me." He complained. "Not even the first day in it's already damaged." He glared at Tenten, who suddenly had a sword in her hand, a very, very real sword.

"What?" He said in awe as she charged him. "Where are you getting all these weapons?!" He shouted in a surprised tone as he narrowly dodged the sharp blade. "And weren't we just sparring? You're trying to take my head off!"

"I'm the daughter of a blacksmith! I carry all types of weapons!" Tenten shouted in response, a grin on her face as she tried to at least tap Naruto with her sword.  "And this is a spar, just a deadly one!" She managed to cut a strand of hair off of Naruto's head, causing him to look as the strand of hair land softly on the brown dirt.

"My hair..." He whispered almost sadly as he touched his silky grey hair. "I didn't want a haircut!" He shouted before he went on the defensive, swinging his wooden sword down upon Tenten's real sword, ignoring the small chip her sword took out of his.

"Now it's more than a spar!" He ducked under a quick swipe, delivering a jab at her ribs as Tenten grunted a little, before swiping her feet out from under her and holding his wooden sword at her neck, their eyes meeting as he glared at her.

"I. Win." Tenten only grinned, causing Naruto to lessen his grip on his sword in confusion.

"You know, if you had balls I'd kick you in them."

"That was slightly rude." The two boys replied at once, making Tenten and Naruto shift their gaze from each other to the Hyuga who was finally standing up.

Naruto sealed his wooden sword back into the scroll and began walking back towards the tree, picked up his sandwich, and began walking back to class.

"No one's gonna be my senpai. No one." Naruto said as he looked back. "But I guess I'm your senpai now, aren't I?" Tenten's jaw dropped, the realization that she had lost spread across her face and she began pouting.

"B-but you're a lower classman! You shouldn't be anyone's senpai!" She looked at the Hyuga boy. "Right?"

"I don't know, he beat both of us." Tenten let out a dramatic sigh. "Uggghhhh. I don't wanna call him Naruto-senpai!" She whined. "Come on, Neji, we have to go back to class."

With Kakashi

"Come in, Kakashi." The Hokage said from inside his office. Kakashi walked in, hands in his pocket as he approached the old man, who was busy smoking on his pipe.

"What can I do for you, Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked, a critical eye seeing several Anbu members hidden in the ceiling as they observed their talks.

"It's about your son, Naruto." Kakashi immediately got serious, his eye no longer focused on the Anbu, but on the elderly Hokage.

"What about him?"

"I've had Anbu observe for some time now, and their reports are..." He seemed to look for the right word before speaking again. "Unique." Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

"First of all, why would you have him observed? We only do that to potential traitors, and even then, to give reports to you about it? What do you mean?"

"Well to answer your first question," Hiruzen said, taking another breath from his pipe. "He's the Jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox, it'd be foolish to not have him observed to see if the Fourth Hokage's seal is still working or not. And by unique, I mean abnormal." Kakashi bristled at the word Jinchuuriki, not liking it at all.

"Kushina Uzumaki was a Jinchuuriki as well, how come she wasn't observed?" Hiruzen sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, knowing this would be a very long conversation.

"She was, at first, but that's before she had ties to this village. That's the problem Kakashi, your son's only ties seems to be with you. He has no friends his own age, he may have a healthy rivalry with Fugaku's son, but that is it. He's distant, like you were when you were a child when Sakumo died." Hiruzen explained.

"It's because he's a vessel that he can't get close with anyone!" Kakashi exclaimed loudly, raising his voice. "Sure, people like him, but they're scared to get too close to him! It's not his fault he has the damn Kyuubi in him!"

"Do you resent me for telling the village the truth?" Hiruzen asked. Kakashi balled his fist up, his whole body tensing as he closed his eyes, trying to keep his anger at bay.

"Yes. The older generation want nothing to do with Naruto. They're scared of him, I can tell. They may smile, or say hello, but that's because they're scared that he'll unleash the Kyuubi on them if he doesn't get his way. But that's not true, sure, he has attitude, but he has control over his emotions!"

"That may be true, Kakashi, but do you have YOUR emotions in control? Are you so sure that you're not biased since the boy is your son?" Kakashi immediately stiffened.

"Is that all you wanted to talk about Hokage-sama?" Hiruzen sighed, nodding before Kakashi disappeared in a Body Flicker, most likely to pick up his son from his first day at the academy.

Then, a man walked into the office, an arm in a sling and bandages over his right eye.

"What do you want, Danzo?" Danzo walked forward, taking a seat in front of Hiruzen.

"Do you still intend on not giving me the Kyuubi?" Hiruzen glared at the bandaged man.

"Like I said before, you will have to take that up with Kakashi. But I doubt he will hand over the child to you." Danzo seethed in his seat.

"You're the Hokage, order him to hand the child over to me! The boy has the power to control the Kyuubi! We must exploit that before the Kyuubi is taken by one of the other villages!" Hiruzen slammed his hand on the table.

"Will you stop this madness, Danzo? I already let you run and underground Anbu organization developed with children, and now you want to sick your claws into the Kyuubi child? You are asking too much from me!" Danzo stood up from his chair, his face one of anger.

"You're making a mistake, Hiruzen." Hiruzen took another smoke from his pipe.

"And as the Hokage, I'm willing to deal with the consequences." Danzo turned around and began walking out of the room.

"I sure hope so."

4 Years Later: Naruto's Age: 11

"I will not."

"You will!"

"No."

"Yes."

"I SAID NO!"

"I SAID YES!"

"YOU WANNA FIGHT BITCH!"

"LET'S GO KID!"

Iruka ran in between the Chunin and the 11 year old boy, an awkward smile on his face as he separated the two.

"Mizuki, I know that Naruto can be quite..." Iruka took a quick glance at Naruto, who had his hands in his pockets and an angry look n his eyes. "Stubborn, but you're a Chunin for god's sake, c'mon man." Mizuki glared at Naruto.

"That little brat doesn't want to spar with Ino!" Mizuki shouted. "Which is reasonable cause every girl has to face a boy and vice versa! Those are the rules! And Naruto won't fight because it's Ino!"

"Because she'll try and fondle me, sensei." Naruto responded lamely. Mizuki rolled his eyes.

"ANNNNDDDD????"

"I'm. 11. Years. Old." Mizuki sighed, wanting to bang his head into the chalkboard.

"I know your dad likes to read those books!"

"I'm not like my dad." Mizuki rolled his eyes once again. Then, Iruka raised an eyebrow.

"Why were you late?" Naruto shrugged.

"Was lost on the road of life." Iruka and Mizuki glanced at each other.

"Should've just named you Kakashi Jr." Mizuki mumbled before straightening up. "So you don't want to fight Ino because she'll try to fondle you?"

"Yep. She'll grab my jewels."

"Yeah, jewels, okay." Mizuki said, sighing, pinching his nose and shaking his head, tapping his foot on the wooden floor as he shifted his gaze to the rest of the class, who were staring at them in awe.

"Ino, will you try to fondle Naruto?" Ino laughed.

"Don't worry sensei, I'll be gentle with Naruto-kun!" She chirped, causing everyone in the classroom to deadpan, including her best friend, Sakura, who was sitting next to the weird blonde Yamanaka.

"SEE?!" Naruto shouted, his eyes widened as he grabbed Iruka by the collar of his Chunin Vest and began shaking him. "She wants me! I'm only 11, don't make me lose what's left of my innocence!" Iruka laughed nervously.

"What the hell do they teach you girls in that Kunoichi class?" He muttered, pointing at Ino.

"Don't fondle him." Ino rolled her eyes before making her signature hand sign.

"I won't fondle him sensei, Hinata will!" Hinata's eyes widened in surprise at being mentioned and looked up, only to be hit with a Mind Possession Jutsu from Ino, who was now controlling Hinata.

"Come here Naru-kun, you can't hide from me forever!" Ino spoke through Hinata, causing Naruto's eyes to widen again as he tried to merge himself with the wall, trying desperately to get away as the mind-walking girl slowly approached him, Iruka and Mizuki not daring to intervene.

"Jesus Christ! Shikamaru, get her with you crappy shadow or something! Akamaru, piss on her head, Sasuke, burn her with a damn fireball! I don't care do something!" Naruto shouted as Hinata-Ino came closer to him.

"Is, is Naruto actually asking for help?" Sakura asked in a bewildered tone. Naruto, never, ever asked for help, often acting cold to anybody outside his tiny, tiny circle of friends, which included Sasuke, a girl named Tenten, and a Hyuga named Neji.

"Never thought I'd see the day." Sasuke muttered from behind her, who was sitting next to Shikamaru, who was sleeping on his desk while Choji, who was on the other side of Shikamaru, was eating a bag chips, enjoying a panicked Naruto.

"Woah, he's actually scared of something!" Kiba shouted loudly. "Come on Shino, this is kinda funny!"

"Molestation is nothing to joke about, Kiba." Shino replied monotonously. Kiba sighed.

"Buzzkill." Naruto realized no one was going to help him and frowned.

"Wow, fuck all of you too then." He muttered as he cringed as drool came out of Hinata-Ino's mouth as she was a few inches from the grey haired boy. "Sorry Ino, but we're only eleven." He took a pencil out of his pocket, and threw it at Ino's unconscious body, the eraser part hitting her forehead hard enough to call her consciousness back to her body.

She instantly came back to, and began pouting.

"Not fair." She whispered, getting a small laugh from Sakura. "Oh shut it forehead, we both know that if you could do it to Sasuke, you would in a heartbeat." Sakura turned a bright pink and quickly hid her face in her hands, while everyone else in the class besides Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, and Shino.

"S-Sorry." Hinata said shyly, pushing her fingers together. Naruto just patted the girl's head.

"It's fine, Hinata. I know it wasn't you, it was the skank up there." Ino made a fake offended face.

"Hey, this is your skank!" Naruto rolled his eyes.

"I thought Christmas was last week, so what's with the bad present?" He said sarcastically, getting everybody to laugh and for Ino to blush in embarrassment.

"Idiot..." She whispered to herself.

"NARUTO-SENPAI!" Everyone heard from outside the door as it suddenly burst opened, revealing Tenten as she grinned. "Guess who just become a Genin?" Naruto's eyes closed as he smiled, happy for his female best friend.

"Good job, bout time to be honest." He said, getting everyone to look at him like he's grown a second head. They've never, ever, EVER, seen him happy.

"Does that mean you're still my senpai?" Tenten asked as she shook the grey haired boy back and forth, only getting a nod in response.

"Until the day you can beat me comes,  I will always be the senpai!"

"Kinky." Ino commented, looking at the brown haired girl with slight interest. Naruto, who had lots of cool, like, too much to lose before this moment, lost his cool as the blood rushed to his face, making him look like a cherry tomato.

"INO!" He screamed, taking out a very beaten up wooden sword. "I"M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Tenten, who only had a light blush on her face, watched as Naruto furiously chased around the perverted blonde girl around the classroom, suddenly feeling very out of place.

"Did you tell him I made Genin as well?" Neji said from behind Tenten, making her hit him in surprise, unready for the surprise speaker.

"Dang it, sorry Neji, but you just can't expect to sneak up on a newly promoted Genin and not get hit on reflex!" Neji stood back up, the force of her blow had knocked him flat on his ass, once again, knocking his pride down a few notches.

"Sorry for startling you, Tenten, but our new sensei, a man named Might Guy, has come to the classroom and we're supposed to be in at Training Grounds 8 tomorrow." Tenten nodded in response.

"Okay I'll see you later then!" Neji nodded and walked away.

"Jeez Naruto, didn't know you liked girls all tied up, thought that was a Inuzuka kink." Kiba commented as he observed the blonde tie Ino down to a chair and put duck tape over her mouth.

"I'LL KILL YOU TOO KIBA!" Naruto shouted, the wooden blade shining in the sunlight, which should be impossible by the way, as he began treating Kiba the same way he had done Ino, by tying him to his chair.

After he was done, Naruto wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead and approached Tenten again, still slightly red from the hidden implications Ino and Kiba had made.

"So, do you want to go get ramen to celebrate?" He asked. Tenten's face lit up like a fire once again, but she nodded, rubbing the back of her head.

"Sure, but you're paying! Meet you there!" Naruto rolled his eyes as he watched her leave.

"And what's changing exactly?"

"OOOOOOOOO." The whole class echoed, even Shikamaru and Sasuke joining in, both smiling cruelly at the boy.

"What?" He asked.

"You're going on a date with a Genin, I see ya Naruto!" A kid named Haise said. Naruto deadpanned as he watched everyone in agreement.

"1. No. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. 5. I will tie you up too, Haise!" Haise shrunk back into his seat, trying to blend in with the peach colored wood.

"But she's a girl, you are a boy, you are going out to eat, it is only logical to conclude you two are going on a date." Shino stated.

"Fuck off, Shino." Naruto cursed back. "It's not like that, we're just friends." Mizuki grinned.

"That's what I said before I married my bestfriend." Naruto's eyes widened, looking from Iruka to Mizuki.

"Y-You guys, a-are dating?" The men both turned a bright red, denying it quicker than Kakashi when the new Icha-Icha comes out.

"I meant my wife you dumbass!" Mizuki shouted, making Naruto laugh.

"Okay, bye now, see you tomorrow."

"He does realize he's skipping, right?" Iruka mentioned, getting Mizuki to shrug.

"Who the hell cares, we still have half the day left."

And done. How was it? Good? Bad? Telll meeee!

Anyways, did a big chappie today, I'm proud of myself. Lol.

Til next time my lil demons!
