Sensei Sasuke dashed straight home from the academy eager to inform his parents that he had proved best at taijutsu in the class once again but instead of finding smiling proud faces through the door all he saw were two bloody corpses. "How was school?" a grinning Itachi asked as he entered the room, blood all over his hands and clothes. "Y-y-you killed them!" Sasuke accused his older brother angrily as he took out a kunai and ran at him. Itachi was not fazed and picked Sasuke up by his collar as he explained about the Uchiha coup to his enraged brother. "Traitor. You betrayed our clan." Was also Sasuke could think of as he swung desperately at his older brother. "Itachi, I understand your little brother has graduated top of his class as a genin." Hiruzen informed the anbu captain in a meeting a few years later. Itachi simply nodded in agreement. "As you two are the last two Uchiha I'll be relieving you of anbu duties so you can focus on training him in use of the Sharingan. I want you to be a sensei and pass on your knowledge to the next generation." The Hokage ordered the progidy. "Who are the genin I'll be mentoring?" Itachi asked inquisitively. Sarutobi slipped the Uchiha three files. "With your Sharingan you are perfect for controlling the power of the nine tails." "Quiet! Everyone back to their desks!" Iruka roared at the squabbling 12 year olds in front of him. The children reluctantly went to their seats as Iruka unrolled the scroll that listed their team assignments. He began reading but Naruto was interested until he heard his name. "Team 3, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Kiba Inuzuka." Iruka announced to the eager genin. A scream of joy could be heard from Naruto whilst a shriek of anger escaped Sakura. "I didn't want to be with Naruto either boy." Kiba said to Akamaru who was growling annoyed. "Your sensei will be Itachi Uchiha." Iruka added when the room quietened down causing Sasuke to swivel his head. "Isn't that your brother?" Kiba asked Sasuke recognising the name. "He's a heartless monster who will kill everything you love." Was the harsh reply before Sasuke went back to day dreaming about the day he avenged his family for Itachi's actions. "Team 8, Shino Aburame, Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga." Sasuke cursed that he got stuck with the weak Hyuuga girl before glaring at the Aburame. Shino was a mystery but Sasuke suspected he too would only hold him back. "Hey Shikamaru, think we'll be on a team?" Choji asked his buddy as he tore into a packet of crisps. "Of course, they always do Ino-Shika-Cho when they can." Shikamaru yawned with Iruka's announcement confirming his theory. Soon enough Itachi Uchiha appeared in the academy to pick up his squad. "Hello brother." A cheery Itachi greeted as he walked past his brooding sibling. "Die!" was the affectionate response and Itachi chuckled at Sasuke's request. "Team 3." Itachi called, causing a sleeping Naruto to jump up and bang his head against the wall. "Idiot." Sakura groaned as Kiba burst out laughing. "Meet me at training ground 16, you have 10 minutes." Itachi's shadow clone commanded before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Kiba smashed through the window with Akamaru chasing after him. Sakura simply went out through the door. "Wait for me!" a groggy Naruto said as he ran after his team mates. Itachi watched as Naruto, the last of the genin arrived. The Uchiha stared deep into Naruto's eyed, his Mangeyko Sharingan able to sense the Nine Tailed Fox inside. "Now that you're all here," Sakura glared at Naruto condescendingly, "before you can become genin I need to test you personally." Itachi said as a genjutsu descended around the training ground. They were in a forest and an 8 year old Itachi was standing in the middle of a clearing. "You three will fight against my 10 year old self. Each of you need to draw blood from him to become genin or else I will send you back to the academy." Itachi explained. "10 year old, you're making this to easy sensei." Naruto cockily bragged as he stared at the little child he was expected to fight. "Naruto look at his jacket." Kiba whispered into the blonde's ear. Naruto squinted, wondering what was so interesting until Itachi interrupted "At the age of 10 I was already a Chuunin." Naruto gaped at his sensei, wondering how powerful Itachi really was before turning to the 10 year old who suddenly seemed a lot more intimidating. "Go!" Itachi nodded before retreating to a safe distance to spectate. Naruto took out a kunai and charged at the little boy. Young Itachi didn't even turn around as he jumped backwards over Naruto and kicked him in the back. "Firestyle, fireball jutsu." Itachi shouted spewing a massive fireball that Naruto narrowly avoided. "Fire style phoenix flower." Itachi continued, the 10 year old not holding back and Naruto was pelted by the burning flames and knocked to the ground. Naruto was not one to give up though and stood up creating 40 shadow clones. They all pulled out kunai and attempted to swarm the young Itachi. Itachi responded by creating his own shadow clone and both Itachi's activated their Sharingan before easily dispelling Naruto's clones and slamming Naruto into a nearby tree. "Wow, Itachi is strong." Kiba commented as he and Sakura watched the fight from the bushes. "We couldn't beat him alone." Sakura agreed with Kiba. Suddenly Akamaru barked furiously at his owner. "What? Actually that could work, Sakura what if we worked as a team?" Kiba said taking his pet's advice. "Hey Naruto, when did you learn to make so many shadow clones." Sakura inquired sweetly to her unsuspecting ally. "Yesterday. I can make hundreds of them if I want." Naruto bragged proudly. Sakura wondered when Naruto got so strong as he couldn't even do the clone jutsu but decided to ignore it before asking him to show her how strong the jutsu really was. Soon the forest was filled with Naruto's that all tried to take down the 8 year old. Itachi flung his kunai accurately, eliminating clones all over the place as they closed in on him. Suddenly a volley of Shurriken was sent his way by Sakura and he barely ducked beneath them, kicking two shadow clones in the process. The 10 year old was too preoccupied to notice the paper bombs detonating above him, scars appearing on his face because of it. Through the smoke he used his Sharingan to punch another shadow clone out of existence only to see Kiba and Akamaru spinning through the air to knock him down. "I got you now." Two clones laughed as they grabbed Itachi from behind and stabbed him with their kunai. The young Itachi threw the clones away easily but was knocked down by Kiba's fang over fang which smashed his nose, causing blood to flow down his face. "Earth style…" the genjutsu Itachi began before the real Itachi ended the genjutsu. "You pass, the key was teamwork. Even a Chuunin can lose to multiple genin allied together." Itachi taught them, causing Akamaru to woof loudly. "So what, you were right this time." "Hey guys, wanna go and get some ramen." Naruto asked his team mates when he heard the loud rumbling coming from his stomach. "Do they do steak?" Kiba responded and when Naruto told him about beef ramen he happily agreed. Not wanting to be left out Sakura went along too as team 3 enjoyed their first meal together since their formation. 2. B-rank "What's highly essential and extremely powerful?" Itachi asked his students. They had been doing d rank missions and exercises in taijutsu and chakra control for the past few weeks and Itachi thought that it was time to teach them something new. "Your mum." Kiba replied idiotically with a massive grin on his face. "I killed my mother under orders from the Hokage." Itachi responded wiping the smiles of his genin's faces and killing the mood as Kiba awkwardly hung his head in shame. "Elemental jutsu, this special paper reacts to your chakra and once we learn your chakra nature I can teach you extremely powerful jutsu." Itachi promised as he handed the genin the paper. When Sakura grabbed it it turned wet whilst Kiba's crumpled up but Naruto's split into two. Itachi pulled out two scrolls labelled earth jutsu and water jutsu and tossed them to his other two students before taking Naruto aside. He showed the jinchuriki the hand signs for the fireball jutsu and asked Naruto to try it. Despite multiple attempts Naruto could produce nothing more than wafts of smoke. "Naruto, you have wind chakra so a fire style jutsu such as this one would be difficult for you. However the chakra of the demon fox inside of you has a fire nature meaning you can perform both wind and fire jutsu's with relative ease once you learn how to control that power."Itachi explained in secret to Naruto. "So what you're saying is that I'm the strongest at elemental jutsu on the entire team." Was the conclusion Naruto drew. "Not exactly but you get the idea." Itachi sighed before rounding up the rest of his team and taking them to the hokage. "Can we do a proper mission this time?" Naruto whined when they arrived into Hiruzen's office. "Yeah, I heard Sasuke's team are on a c-rank mission." Kiba added, supporting Naruto's request. Itachi was an Uchiha and although he disliked conflict he did not like being outdone. "That b-rank mission in kusagakure seems suitable." Itachi claimed earning an inquisitive glare from his hokage. "Genins on a b-rank mission? We usually reserved those for experienced chunin and jonin." Sarutobi carefully warned the young jonin, trying to deflate Itachi's ego in this rare moment of pride. "Don't worry, I'll be able to keep them safe against whatever we come up against and it will be a good learning experience. Besides, I hear the genin squad of the Kazekage's children has been on a b-rank mission as well, we have to show that thee leaf is stronger." Itachi told Sarutobi, and the whole of team 8 waited anxiously, breaths held. Itachi was extremely capable and it would be politically advantageous if a genin squad went on a b-rank mission, Hiruzen decided to allow the request against his natural instincts. "Yes!" Naruto yelled enthusiastically, causing Sakura to push him out the window. "Sorry Lord Hokage, sometimes he gets over excited." Haruno politely apologised. They left early the next morning, it would take one and a half days to reach their destination. Their mission were to capture or assassinate some low level rogue leaf ninja that were suspected of leaking information to other villages. Itachi kept a fast pace all throughout the day so when they finally decided to set up for camp they were exhausted. Their sensei captured and cooked a wild bear for them to share before ordered Kiba and Naruto to spar, ninjutsu and genjutsu allowed. "What about me sensei?" an enthusiastic Sakura pleaded, hoping that she hadn't been forgotten. "You are not as good at taijutsu as Kiba and you don't have as much stamina or chakra as Naruto but you possess a skill they don't, chakra control, which is why I am going to train you in genjutsu. Tsukoyomi." Itachi instructed Sakura who soon found herself in a classroom back at the academy. "We are currently in one of my very powerful genjutsu that even distorts time. Notice the attention to detail, high level ninja detect genjutsu by the mistakes within them so I make sure everything is perfect. Those with sensory capibilities such as my Sharingan are harder to fool." Itachi explained as he showed Sakura around his genjutsu version of the academy. "So are you immune to genjutsu?" Sakura asked. Itachi shook his head and soon enough the entire world turned red and black. Sakura could see the chakra inside Itachi and predict his movements with almost 100% accuracy. "This is the world as my Sharingan sees it, most people don't understand how an Uchiha would perceive their surroundings but because I'm an Uchiha too I can fool them with ease." Itachi told his student. Colour returned to the world, but Sakura's nose was assaulted by odours she didn't know existed. "As an Inuzuka Kiba can smell many things you wouldn't pick up on. Most genjutsu's don't cater to his advance sense of smell but it is not impossible, everyone can be fooled. The messages Aburame received from their kikai, the ability to see through objects with the Byakugan, even the highly trained senses of high level Anbu can all be replicated by illusions." Itachi explained to Sakura who was amazed by the power of Itachi's eyes. 72 hours later, although it had only been one second in the real world, Sakura had mastered the basics of genjutsu with Itachi's instruction. "Fang over fang." Kiba roared excited as he collided into five Naruto's, knocking the real one into the air. "Wind style, wind cutter." Naruto shouted from above, realeasing a blade of wind that cut off several branches as it approached Kiba. "Earth style earth wall." Kiba responded, blocking Naruto's attack. When the wall fell Kiba was charging right at Naruto, a kunai in each hand. Naruto sidestepped Kiba when he attacked and threw him over his shoulder into a tree only for Kiba to transform into Akamaru. "Take this." The real Kiba yelled from behind, headbutting Naruto as Akamaru chewed on his leg happily. "Wind style, Wind God's thousand year fury." An Enraged Naruto yelled forming chakra. Soon enough huge hurricanes appeared from all sides and closed in on the Inuzuka. "Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Kiba screamed running when he realised he couldn't understand Akamaru's barking anymore. "Release." He muttered and glared at Naruto annoyed. "Wasn't me." Naruto shrugged and Kiba turned to Sakura, who was trying extremely hard to suppress a smile. "Akamaru you know what to do!" Kiba grimaced and Akamaru nodded solemnly before lifting a single leg. "Guys, I can sense the rogue ninja we are chasing." Itachi whispered the next day. "Let's get them." Naruto enthusiastically declared as he summoned two shadow clones but Itachi signalled him to wait. "I also sense someone much stronger. I'll try and bait him out." Itachi warned his squad of genin before creating an explosive clone and sending it ahead. They waited for a couple of minutes before Itachi said "I was right, there are two chunin level ninja and one above Jonin level. Let me deal with the stronger one." "And if we give you this information how much will you pay us?" A tall figure wearing a straw hat and a black cloak covered in red clouds asked the grass ninja he was negotiating with. The grass ninja pulled out his wallet when at inconceivable speeds a Kunai pierced his heart. "Looks like we have company, run away you guys are no match for him." The cloaked figure told his assistants who happily scrambled. "Itachi Uchiha. Let me see how you compare to the rumours." The cloaked figure said. "You will die here Orachimaru." Itachi threatened the Akatsuki member angrily. "Shadow Senbon Jutsu." The shorter of the two rogue ninja cried when he saw Sakura as thousands of senbons flew into her, shredding her to pieces. "You'll pay for that." Naruto said as he summoned an army of shadow clones. "Fire style, ash clouds." The taller rogue cried and soon the air was filled with opaque smoke. Memories of pricing Senbon returned to Naruto as his clones were popped and he dived to the ground to avoid attacks. Meanwhile, Kiba and Akamaru, unaffected by the smoke, used their fang over fang to take down the pyromancer. Naruto used his wind blade Jutsu to clear the smoke before summoning two clones, which picked him up and hurled him at the Senbon thrower. The Senbon thrower released 100 more Senbon before substituting out of the way of Naruto's attack, only to be hit by his own Senbon. "Genjutsu? Release." The short rogue ninja realised to find Sakura punching him in the face, causing him to lose consciousness. Kiba picked him and carried him to the other one before tying them together. "Sakura, I thought you died." Naruto sighed in relief. "You thought I was so weak I could be killed by a few Senbon." Sakura replied angrily, kicking Naruto into a tree, earning bellowing laughter from Kiba. Orachimaru breathed a massive fireball ten times the size of Itachi at the Uchiha, who countered by realising just as much water before hurling two lightning bolts at Orachimaru, which were blocked by a Rashomon. "You know a lot of Jutsu." Orachimaru complimented as he pulled out Kusanagi and cut through Itachi's crow clone. "So do you." Itachi replied before summoning the sword of Susanoo and knocking Orachimaru's Kusanagi out of his hand. Orachimaru bit his lip and summoned Manda. "Let's see how the Uchiha progidy deals with this." Orachimaru laughed, hoping to steal more Jutsu when Manda turned on him and swung his tail to crush him. Orachimaru quickly cancelled the summoning and curses the Sharingan's ability to control beats with genjutsu. "Your eyes will be mine one day." Orachimaru promised his adversary before biting him on the shoulder and leaving a curse mark. Itachi screamed out in pain and jumped back onto a tree before burning the snake Dannie with his Amaterasu. "I wonder if I can replicate these flames without your dojutsu." Orachimaru mused as his skin burnt to a crisp leaving a fresh body beneath it. "Explosive clone Jutsu." Itachi announced, splitting into 5 as they all lunged for Orachimaru. Orachimaru was battered by clones suiciding onto him and knocked to the ground. Before he could get up he was caught in the Tsukoyomi and tortured with thousands of Jutsu he didn't know, his lack of knowledge as painful as the techniques themselves. Itachi raised Susanoo's blade to finish off his enemy when it was blocked by Samehada. "I almost let you die to show you how weak you are." Kisame taunted. "I will get you next time Itachi send your eyes will be mine." Orachimaru spat before reverse summoning to the realm of snakes. "Fang over fang." Kiba cried as he and his dog flew into Kisame. "Samehada, I hope you like Inuzuka." Kisame said, stabbing one of the Kiba's flying st him which turned into Akamaru, rupturing his vital organs. "You bastard I will kill you." Kiba shouted when he suddenly fell a sleep, Sakura and Naruto catching him as Itachi's genjutsu took effect. "I'd love to kill you as well boy but I'm needed elsewhere." Kisame laughed before dispersing into a puddle of water. There was silence on the journey back as everyone was devastated by Akamaru's death. Kiba especially was traumatised and refused to speak to anyone, running home as soon as they got back to the leaf. "Itachi, how could you let this happen?" Hiruzen asked disappointed when he received the mission report. "I thought it was a b-rank mission but we encountered not one but two s-rank ninja. Orachimaru and Kisame of the hidden mist appeared to be members of the group Akatsuki, they are more dangerous than we originally thought, especially as Orachimaru was treated as one of the weaker members." Itachi replied sternly. "I'll order further investigation." Sarutobi replied eventually, relieving the tension in the room. 3. Exams Kiba didn't show up to training for an entire week. When he finally returned he was no longer his joyous brash self, his miserable personality reflected in his dark attire. He had painted the markings on his face a dark blue and had a tattoo of Akamaru on each arm. "Hey Sakura, did you see all those foreign ninja wandering around the village, do you why they are here?" Naruto asked as he saw two mist ninja walk by the training ground when a flock of crows dispersed to reveal Itachi who dropped down from the sky and landed to answer Naruto's question. "Today is a very special time of year, the Chunin exams. Ninja from other villages have come to Konoha to prove their might and earn a promotion by completing various trials. You three can participate as well but only if you all agree." Itachi explained to his eager student. "Alright, let's do it." Naruto yelled as he jumped up into the air. "Um…Is…Sasuke doing it?" Sakura asked Itachi nervously and when the Uchiha nodded she agreed to compete as well. Naruto high fived Sakura and tried to fist bump Kiba but the Inuzuka left him hanging. "What's the point? We'll probably just end up dying against some really powerful ninja, we're only rookies." Kiba moaned, enraging Naruto immensely but before the blonde could retort Itachi said "Many squads don't enter on their first chance, no need to feel ashamed." That evening Naruto and Sakura showed up to Kiba's house and banged on the door until Hana answered. "Kiba, your friends are here." Kiba's sister called, summoning him to the steps. "What do you want?" Kiba sighed dejectedly. "To become Chunin but we need your help." Sakura pleaded with the boy. "No, we're weaklings, we would've died if Itachi wasn't there on that mission. Especially you Naruto, you're the worst in our year." Kiba told them. "I'm no weakling, I'm the future Hokage. I'll prove it right here, right now." Naruto shouted at Kiba, raising his fists to challenge his ally. Kiba pulled his hand out of his pocket and dropped a smoke bomb on the ground filling the air with purple smoke. Naruto suddenly felt his legs being hooked and fell face first into the dirt, when the smoke cleared Kiba was holding a kunai to the back of his neck. "You think the Hokage would fool for such a simple trick, I didn't even stealth my movements." Kiba scolded Naruto as he pressed the Kunai against his neck, half a centimetre away from drawing blood. "Of course not." The shadow clone of Naruto said before disappearing. The real Naruto grabbed Kiba's shoulder and pulled him under his arm, using the other arm to press a kunai to his chest. "See how powerful I am. Now you have to do it?" "Fiine, if it will make you leave me alone. We'll all die pointless deaths." Kiba submitted before walking back into his house. When he was gone Naruto went up to Sakura. "Thanks for that genjutsu, I had no idea how I was going to escape that." "Itachi did teach us the power of teamwork." Sakura blushed, not used to receiving compliments. "Yes I did. Kiba's in a bad mood right now, he had a very strong bond with Akamaru but I trust you two can transform him back into his original self." Itachi said as he stepped out from behind a tree. "Leave it to me." Naruto smiled, giving two thumbs up to his teacher. When Itachi got home he found Sasuke waiting on the couch, glaring at him. If looks could kill Itachi would be deep into the belly of the Shinigami. "Hello Sasuke, how was your day? Make any new friends?" was the cheery greeting which only pissed off Sasuke further, who was sure he was facing a demon is disguise. "I need you to train me, I need to get stronger." Sasuke reluctantly grunted. "Sure little bro. I'm always happy to help." Itachi grinned. "Doesn't mean I won't murder you when the time comes." Sasuke warned but Itachi only laughed. Sasuke set off as early as possible to go to the exams the next day. Shino was always punctual and Hinata would take any opportunity to get out of the house so in the rare occasion where there was a hold up Sasuke was silently blamed. However the Uchiha was too distracted and ended up in the wrong room. He was about to leave when a boy dressed in a green jumpsuit with massive eyebrows and a questionable bowl cut appeared in front of him. "Sasuke Uchiha, I heard you were a natural progidy in the academy. I do not possess your natural talent but by hard work I intend to show that anyone can achieve greatness. Let's see how my Taijutsu compares to yours in a youthful spar." Rock Lee demanded of the Uchiha. Sasuke glanced at the clock and after assuring himself he was on time, activated his Sharingan and signalled that he was ready. In an instant Rock Lee was in front of him and slammed him high sky. "Sorry, I thought you were ready." Rock Lee apologised to his enemy. "I was, I underestimated you." Sasuke winced before returning to a fight stance. This time, when Rock Lee dashed behind him he managed to duck a kick to the head and block a punch to the gut. Sasuke went on the offensive, attempting to push Lee onto the ground but Rock grabbed his wrists and flung him into the air. Sasuke's Sharingan allowed a graceful landing but before he could cover Lee was hurtling at him with a roundhouse kick fast enough to take him out. "Lee, save the fighting for the real exam." Another man who looked like a bigger stronger version of the boy who he was addressing ordered as he caught his student's leg and held him in the air. "I'm sorry Gai sensei, I will preserve the fires of youth until they are most needed." Lee said. "Don't worry, we all burn with youthful passion from time to time." Gai responded, revealing a shiny white grin. Sasuke slowly walked away before he could hear the rest of the conversation. "S-Sa-Sasuke, I was worried." Hinata stuttered when Sasuke finally showed up. "I'm fine." Sasuke grunted, rubbing his bruises from the battering he received earlier. "Your chakra is depleted and you appear to be in pain, are you sure you are ok?" Shino questioned, observant as ever. Sasuke didn't make any sound but just nodded his head, giving Shino a look which meant he'll explain later as the other rookie genin arrived. "Woah, there sure are a lot of people here." Naruto gasped as he stared at the army on ninja he would be competing with. "It's gonna be a drag." Shikamaru added as he fell back onto the floor, staring at the roof idly. "Sasuke I'm sure you will find it easy." Sakura complimented as she tried to grab the boys arm when Ino shoved her out of the way. "No one cares what you have to say billboard brow." Naruto and Choji grabbed Sakura and Ino respectively in order to prevent a fight when Naruto saw an Iwa ninja smirking at their childish behaviour. "Hey, you think you're better than me. Well I'm the strongest person here so you can all…" Naruto ranted when Sakura elbowed him in the gut. "Sorry about him he gets hyperactive." Sakura meekly explained to the riled up ninja as Kiba clamped a hand over Naruto's mouth and Choji sat on his legs when Ibiki burst into the room. "I am your proctor for the first exam and until it's over…YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!" The rules of the test were simple enough but when Naruto saw the questions he had no idea what the answers were. Sakura on the other hand, who studied immensely, could easily find the answers. _Naruto looks stuck, I should help him out._ "Naruto the answer to question one is The land of keys." Sakura shouted across the room. "Sakura, that's cheating." Naruto whispered back worriedly, wondering why no one had noticed Sakura's indiscreet screaming. "We are in one of my genjutsu's. It isn't cheating if you don't get caught idiot." Sakura contemptuously stated as she started reeling off the rest of the answers. "These questions are impossible Aka" Kiba began before he realised he was talking to himself. The guy next to him had already finished and was chewing on his pencil nonchalantly. _Guess I only have one option_ Kiba contemplated before a smoke bomb went off in the room. When the smoke cleared Kiba had taken the paper of the guy next to him, who looked around frantically for his answers. He stared at Kiba who was suddenly very calm and peeked at his paper, realising it was his own. "Number 32, cheating, -2 points." An examiner called out harshly, causing a sadistic grin to flash across Kiba's face. "Think up your own answers." Kiba joked, the irony stinging like a swarm of wasps. "Let me see it." Anko demanded as she swallowed her canto in a single bite. Itachi pulled up his sleeve to reveal his curse mark. "That's even bigger than mine. With it defeating Orachimaru won't be so easy, you might have to call for back up if you see him." Anko advised as she remembered her own painful experiences when she tried to betray her sensei. "Isn't there anything I can do?" Itachi asked in hope, receiving a disappointing shake. "Shit, the second round of the exam has started, I got to go." "When's the other proctor gonna get here, it's been like an hour already." Naruto groaned to his teammates when a Kunai grazed his cheek spilling a small amount of blood. "Ten minutes brat." Anko laughed as she caught the Kunai in between two fingers and pocketed
