Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, If I did I would not have to write a fanfic about it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Also known as The Professor, And The God of Shinobi, Sighed in frustration as he looked at the Ninja Registration photo of one Uzumaki Naruto. "Retake It." Said the Third Hokage.

"WHAT?! But why?" Demanded Naruto. Naruto had not done what he had originally wanted to do, which was paint his face in kabuki style paint. So why was The Old Man Man making him retake his photo?

"Naruto this form is used for Ninja training and missions, so the photo on it needs to be accurate! Now drop the Henge and retake it." Shouted the Third Hokage.

"But I'm not using a Henge Old Man honest." Said Naruto thinking to himself that he should have saw this coming.

"Naruto nobody changes that much in four days! If your not using a Henge then explain how you grew over half a foot in so short of a time." Said Hiruzen suspicious, After all Naruto was a well known prankster.

"I don't know. It Just kind of happened." Lied Naruto smoothly, He had long ago perfected the art of lying his way out of trouble. He knew one day soon he would have to come clean to the old man. But right now Naruto just didn't want to have to deal with it. "Look if you don't believe me just check for yourself." Said Naruto.

Sarutobi did as Naruto said, and was shocked to find that indeed Naruto was not using a Henge. 'But how? Could it have been the Fox? But why would the fox do something that Naruto could actually benefit from?' Before he could contemplate this any further, his thoughts were interrupted by someone bellowing out.

"I've got you now old man!" Yelled a little boy of about Eight years old, heading at Sarutobi in a dead sprint. "Time I'll defeat you old man. Then I'll become the Fifth Hokag-" The boy never got to finish his sentence as he promptly tripped over his own two feet. Causing those in the room to FacePalm.

'My grandson another headache.' Thought Hiruzen. ' This is the twentieth sneak attack today!'

'Is this boy for real? Just who is this shrimp.' Thought Naruto. At that point another voice was heard belonging to a man dressed in all black with shades on his face.

"Honorable Grandson are you okay?!" Said the man. The boy however ignored him.

"Hey who tripped me?" Asked the boy, but when he saw Naruto. The boy put two and two together, and came up with five. "It was you wasn't it? Why did you trip me?" Demanded the boy.

Naruto getting upset grabbed the boy by his scarf. "You tripped over your own two feet Moron!" Snapped Naruto.

"Hey you let go of the Honorable Grandson of the Honorable Third Hokage!" Yelled the man in all black. Causing Naruto to pause for a second.

'Hm that stopped him, just like all the rest, now that he knows who I am he won't lay a finger on me.' Thought the boy smugly. "What's wrong tough guy? I thought you were going to hit me, afraid cause the Third Hokage is my granddad?" Challenged the boy, not knowing just who he was challenging.

"I don't care if you're the grandson of Kami, your still just a brat to me!" Yelled Naruto hitting the boy on top of his head.

'This guy's different.' Thought the boy as he passed out.

Naruto walked out of the room, leaving an exasperated Hokage, and a scandalized Ebisu.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto was walking down the street after leaving the academy, But sadly he was not alone. It would seem, that he was being fallowed, And not vary skillfully at that.

"Alright punk what's the deal? Why are you fallowing me?" Asked Naruto, finally having had enough.

"So you saw through my disguise huh. The rumors about you are true, you are good. Alright From now on I'm your apprentice, and your my trainer. Then you can show me how to do the Sexy Jutsu you used to defeat my grandfather." Said the boy in a hurry.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa, who said anything about training you? And why would I teach you the Sexy Jutsu?" Asked Naruto perplexed.

"PLEASE BOSS? You got to teach me the Sexy Jutsu, you just got to," Begged the little boy, while using the dreaded Puppy Eyes Jutsu. Making Naruto feel a little sorry for him.

'Well I suppose I could try to teach him the Sexy Jutsu, who knows it could turn out to be fun, plus it would really get under the Old Mans skin.' Thought Naruto with a mischievous glint in his eye. Making up his mind Naruto Said " Alright I'll teach you the Sexy Jutsu. But you got to promise me two things."

"What's that boss." Asked the boy.

"One that you will never, ever, EVER! Use the Sexy Jutsu around a female, especially if I'm anywhere close to you." Said Naruto deadly serious.

"Okay, what's the second thing?" Asked the boy.

At this Naruto got an evil grin on face and said. "That you'll use it to make your granddad's life hell."

"Deal." Said the boy with a matching evil grin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours latter found Naruto setting with the boy in a clearing. The boy looked tired but pleased with him self, That was utill Naruto asked him something.

"So tell me something, why is it so important to you, that you defeat your grandfather?" Asked Naruto.

"Well you see my grandfather named me Konohamaru after the village, So you would think it would be an easy name to remember. But no one calls me Konohamaru, Instead they call me Honorable Grandson. They call me that because nobody sees me, They just see my grandfather the Third Hokage. That's why I have to defeat my grandfather and become the Fifth Hokage. So people will know who I am." Said Konohamaru with conviction in his voice.

Naruto was deep in thought 'He sounds allot like I use to, But still that's not a vary good reason to want to be Hokage. I'll have to tell him what I was told.'Finally Naruto spoke. "I understand how you feel more then you know, I have to tell you though, your reason for wanting to be Hokage is completely stupid." Said Naruto non to gently.

"WHAT?!" Shouted Konohamaru.

"I use to think the same as you, I wanted to be Hokage because I wanted people to acknowledge me. To stop looking at me with those cold eyes. But someone once told me something that you need to hear." Said Naruto

"Whats That?" Asked Konohamaru.

"That people don't become Hokage to be acknowledged. Its the people who are acknowledged that become Hokage." Said Naruto. Looking at Konohamaru in the eyes, Naruto continued speaking. "You see konohamaru I no longer want to be Hokage to get acknowledgement from the village. I want to become Hokage because I truly believe that I can make a difference, And to fulfill a promise I made to an old man." Finished Naruto. Before Konohamaru could respond, A voice called out.

"There you are Honorable Grandson, I've come to take you away from this filth!" Said the same man from before giving Naruto an Icy glare. "Come along Honorable Grandson. I will take you home now." Said the man dragging Konohamaru away by the scarf.

"No I want to stay and find out how to become Hokage." Yelled Konohamaru, Fighting to stay with Naruto.

"If you wish to become Hokage then your time would be better spent with me, I can show you all the short cuts." Said Ebisu.

Konohamaru finally broke away from Ebisu "You never listen to me! Sexy Jutsu!" Said Konohamaru disappearing in a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared It reviled an 18 year old attractive female with only steam covering her private parts.

"What do you think of my new jutsu." She asked.

"WHAT KIND OF JUTSU IS THAT? NARUTO IS TURNING YOU IN TO DELINQUENT!" Screamed Ebisu

"AW it didn't work." Said Konohamaru after dispelling the jutsu.

"Honorable Grandson I demand that you come with me and stop this foolishness at once." Said Ebisu. Naruto finally having enough stepped forward.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Yelled Naruto, Now surrounded by twenty clones. Ebisu seeing this said

"Heh I'm not impressed. I'm a jounin, an Elite, I'm far above some light weight like Mizuki, Watch how a real ninja defeats an upstart." Finished Ebisu Pompously.

All at once, the clones yelled out. "Sexy Jutsu!" Turning in to twenty Naruko's

"I told you already I am above such tactics, You will have to do better then that to take me down. I am an Elite!" Yelled Ebisu. It was at that moment that the real Naruto burst out of the ground, Landing a solid uppercut to Ebisu's chin, The clones only having been a diversion. Ebisu was sent flying back into unconsciousness.

"Yeah you're an Elite alright, and yet you still got knocked the hell out." Said Naruto coldly.

"Wow boss you did it!" Yelled Konohamaru with no small amount of hero worship in his voice.

"Yeah, Hey listen Konohamaru. I've got to go home now, I'm finding out who my Sensei is going to be tomorrow. But remember what I said about becoming Hokage, There are no shortcuts to it okay? If you want to be Hokage you have to become Strong and that takes time and hard work. You got a long road ahead of you full of sweat and tears, but if keep at it you'll make it one day, you and me will fight for the title of Hokage." Said Naruto

"Fine then from this moment on were rivals!" Yelled Konohamaru but inside he was smiling, He had finally met someone who saw him for him, and not his grandfather.

"HaHa You got it Konohamaru." Chuckled Naruto as he walked away.

Unknown to them, Was that someone had been watching them the whole time.

'You're finally growing up huh Naruto? Not only did you manage to knock out Ebisu with a clever strategy, Using those those clones and that ridiculous Jutsu to disguise that you were burrowing underground, Getting under Ebisu's guard and landing a knock out hit. But you've also got through to my grandson, something I myself have been unable to do. Way to go Naruto, You may just achieve your dream after all.' Thought The third Hokage with a smile,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto was making his way to the classroom to find out who his sensei and team were going to be. He had on his black jacket and paints, mesh undershirt, black sandels and forehead protector, and finally he had Zanpakutō strapped to his back.

Unfortunately Naruto had sleept in a little bit, So he was running behind. Opening the door to Iruka sensei's classroom, he found Iruka standing in front of the class talking. When he walked in the class fell silent.

"Sorry I'm late Iruka Sensei I didn't hear my alarm go off." Said Naruto

"Um That's okay Naruto w-we just started anyway, Go take a seat." Said Iruka. Iruka was not as stunned as every one else, The Hokage having told him of Naruto's Change, but hearing it and seeing it were two different things. You could barely recognize him. When Iruka last saw Naruto he stood at 4ft 7in, and now he had to be atlest 5ft2, and that was not the only thing that had changed Naruto's hair was longer framing his face, he had lost most of his baby weight making him look more mature, And last but not lest there wasn't a spot of orange on him. In short he looked like a mini Forth Hokage.

Iruka wasn't the only one stunned by Naruto's change.

'That's Naruto? When did he get so...HOT!'Thought a girl with pink hair.'Cha...My Sasuke is still way better' Thought inner Sakura.

'I like Sasuke not Naruto, I like Sasuke not Naruto, I like Sasuke NOT Naruto!' Chanted a blond girl in her mind.

'Naruto.' Thought a girl with lavender eye dreamily, as a small bit of blood dripped out of her nose.

'...' Thought a boy with a high collar jacket and sunglasses on.

'I bet I could still kick his ass' Thought a boy with a dog on his head.

'Hn' Guess who.

'He must be eating some good food if he grew that much, I wonder if I can get some.'Though a boy who was on the larger side.

'Troublesome' Thought a boy with a pineapple for a hair cut.

Naruto was looking for a seat the only one he could find open was beside Hinata Hyuga. 'I wonder if she will faint.' Thought Naruto.

"Hey Hinata do you mind if I sit beside you." Asked Naruto.

'OF COURSE I DON'T MIND!' Screamed Hinata in her head. "S-S-Sure Na-Naruto I d-don't mind." Said Hinata shyly.

As Naruto sat down at his desk he was deep in thought 'Man there has got to be something I can do about her shyness around me, but what?...WAIT A MINUTE! Thats it I got it, I would work But I won't do it unless she agrees to it.' Naruto was so in to his thoughts that he almost missed his name being called.

"Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, And Sasuke Uchiha."

'Oh just great, I really should've known.' Thought Naruto. Meanwhile he saw Sakura giving Ino A smug look. 'Probably just gloating that she is on Sasuke's team.' Thought Naruto 'Hinata looks kind of down. She must have been hoping to get on a team with me.' Hoping to cheer her up he sent her a heart warming smile.

'Naruto is smiling at me!' Thought Hinata as a huge Blush rose on her face.

Seeing the blush Naruto thought she looked kinda cute.

"Team 8, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame."

Hinata was to busy thinking about Naruto's smile to care.

"And Team 10 will be Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, And Choji Akimichi. Alright Everyone we will now have lunch, Afterwards your to come back hear and meet your Sensei's. Good luck everyone." Said Iruka dissmissing the class to go eat.

"Hey Hinata would you like to eat lunch with me?" Asked Naruto.

'Naruto's asking me to eat lunch with him?' Thought Hinata shocked "S-S-S-S-Sure N-N-Naruto." Answered Hinata. Naruto smiled a winning smile at her. And led her to Small Clearing where they Started to eat their lunch. The whole time Hinata had a huge blush on her face, and was doing her best to keep from fainting, all the while wondering how she got so lucky. Finally Naruto asked her what he brought her here to ask.

"Hey Hinata If I said I had a Jutsu would increase your confidence what would you say?"Asked Naruto looking at the ground. Hinata thought that was a strange question, but answered anyway after all, she would love to be a more confident person. "I-I would s-s-say t-t-teach It t-t-to me." Finished Hinata trying to sound humorous. Naruto laughed lightly still looking at the ground.

"Its not really something I can teach Hinata, its more of a bloodline." Said Naruto seriously.

Hinata turned to look at Naruto, "Y-Y-You mean y-y-you're not j-joking?" Hinata asked Naruto with a stunned look on her face.

"No Hinata I'm not." Said Naruto looking at Hinata for the first time since he started speaking, "Is it something you would want me to use? If not I would completely understand." Said Naruto.

Hinata gave it some thought. She thought about clan looking down of her, her dad giving up on her, She thought about the time Naruto had to save her from the bullies, About how he had gotten beat up over it. And lastly she thought about her feelings for Naruto, feelings she was never able to bring herself to make known to him.

Finally she look at him in the eye with all the deterantion she could muster and said "Y-Yes Naruto d-do it."

Naruto sighed "okay Hinata what you're about to see is a secrite so please don't ever tell anyone." With that said Naruto activated his Rinnegan. Hinata was shocked, she had never seen anything like it.

"Its called the Rinnegan and what I am about to do is called Kotoamatsukami, I want you to know I would never use this on you with out your permission." Said Naruto as he began to explain how Kotoamatsukami works to Hinata.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto had spent allot of the time passing notes with Hinata and laughing, Since coming back to the classroom at least until Hinata's Sensei had come to get her and her team. That had been hours ago and still no sign of their Sensei. Naruto was starting to get a bad feeling about who it was, Do to something his dad had said about his student Kakashi. As if to confirm his theory, said man stuck his head in the door.

"My first impreshtion of you is...You're boring!" Said Kakashi with an eye smile, Causing his students to sweat drop. "Meet me on the roof in 5 minutes." Before disappearing in a swirl of leafs.

Naruto wanting to show off a little bit did the same appearing right in front of Kakashi.

'So he knows the bodyflicker, I wonder what else he can do.'Thought Kakashi.

A few minutes later Sasuke and Sakura showed up glaring at Naruto. Having a seat on a bench facing Kakashi. Kakashi asked them to introduce themselves.

"Why don't you go first Sensei." Said Sakura.

"Okay my name Kakashi Hatake. My likes are Non of your business, my dislikes are nothing, my dreams for the future are... Well I have lots of hobbies.

'All we learned was his name!' Was the thought going trough all three genin.

"Okay now why don't you go Blondy." Said Kakashi

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, my likes are my precious people and Ramen, my dislikes are People who abandon their friends, my hobbies include training, and gardening, my dream for the future is to become Hokage and to bring peace to the Shinobi world." Finished Naruto

'Interesting.' Thought Kakashi. "Alright you next pinky."

(A.N Sakura's and Sasuke's are the same as the manga.)

'So a fangirl, an avenger, and and enigma.' Thought Kakashi.

"Okay, met me at training ground 7 at 5:00am tomorrow morning. For our First mission." Said Kakashi.

"What type of mission is it Sensei?" Asked Sakura.

"Well you're not going to like this but your first mission is a Survival Test." Said Kakashi laughing.

"But sensei we already did Survival Training in the academy." Said Sakura confused

"Yeah this is the part your not going to like, You see of the 27 graduates that came here only 9 will actuily become genin, the other 18 will be sent back to the acdamey for further Training. In other words this is a make it or break it pass or fail exzam with atlest a 66% chance of failing." Said Kakashi. Shocking all three of his students. "Remember Five A.M Training Groud 7, Oh yeah, one last thing I would skip breakfest if I were you guys, or esle you'll throw up. Said Kakashi before he bodyflickered away leaving his students deep in thought.

'I won't be sesperaited from Sasuke this is a test of love.' Thought Sakura.

'I won't fail I will pass and become stonger to avange my clan!' Thought Sasuke.

'Don't eat breakfest, What kind of advice is that? Thought Naruto.

And Cut.

A.N So before you guy gang up and linch me, Let explain why I had Naruto use Kotoamatsukami on Hinata. Truth of that matter is if I had started this story at an earlier point in time, like say if Naruto still had a year or two in the acdamey then I wouldn't have had to. But the fact is as things stand I simply wouldn't have had time to have Naruto break through Hinata's Shyness and make any type of realitonship work. Naruto leaves in less then a year for his three year training trip and I would like them to be a couple before that happens. And speaking a someone whose had and sometimes still has self worth issuse it takes a long long time to work through. Also one of the things Hinata wants most is acceptance form her clan and father, Not to minchtion Naruto. So you can kind of see why she would eccept the offer. On Naruto's front deep down inside all Naruto really wants is a friend and he knows that hinata could be that friend if she could just stay conscious around him for an exstended amount of time. So you can see where he is coming from, about why he offerd. And last but not least it is MY story, And its not like Naruto used it to get in her pants he just gave her a LITTLE confadence boost. Anyway Sorry if that chapter got a little rough at the end but I've Been up for 24hr now and need some sleep. Hope I didn't ruin the story.
