Chapter 4 - A new friend

(Timeskip 1 year)

Konoha Ninja Academy

footsteps traversed through the corridors of the Academy with admission papers in hand while cold blue eyes danced around the walls, door to door, in search of the designated classroom inscribed on his form. Naruto came up to the door of the classroom he was assigned to, and quickly realized that he was barely on time upon hearing the teacher already enunciating the roll calls. So, he slid the door open, entered, and closed it behind him. His teacher, a man with a pineapple shaped haircut vividly complimented with a wild looking scar running horizontally across his nose, looked at him gruffly, and his clothes were standard chunin affair too, nothing exciting as far as Naruto was concerned.

naruto ignored all the curious stares his untimely presence was garnering, since, upon getting himself identified, most of them were intensifying their curiosity into outright glares. naruto scowled when even his teacher looked away from him with a disgusted snort. fools he thought as he made direct eye contact with the teacher as he handed him the admission paper with a look saying " try me" Iruka felt a little intimidated. iruka took naruto's papers and scanned the forms over with critical eyes, hoping beyond hopes that there had been some sort of mistake in paperwork, and that the Hokage had not allowed the Kyūbi of all things to join his class.

"Alright class," Iruka sighed in defeat. There was no mistake, "There is a new student joining us from today. Please introduce yourself to the class," he commanded him in an even voice. Naruto nodded "I'm Uzumaki Naruto. cant say It's a pleasure to meet you all." most of the class was bewildered at hearing this. His teacher identified himself as Umino Iruka, and told him to take a seat. Naruto walked up the stairs, scowling when he saw most of the students covered up the free seats beside them, and he eventually ended up stranded in a marooned corner of the classroom, right beside the window ,he saw two redheads one with short spiky hair and one with two straight ponytails he smiled seeing his siblings

Naruto eventually came to the conclusion that he won't be able to make friends with anyone, anytime soon. Iruka-sensei soon began vocalizing the roll calls again, and Naruto kept watching his classroom fill up with several other children from many of the prominent clans in the village.

The blonde boy kept his cool, trying not to kill them he was acutely seeing everyone in his class, and objectively noticing their attitudes while his eyes scanned them over critically. The pondering once-over of his acquaintances stopped though when Iruka called the name Uchiha satsuki, and nearly everyone along with him turned their eyes to her.

She was probably the prettiest girl that Naruto had ever seen.

Her voice was as soft and kind as her face, and so was her smile. Moreover, she genuinely seemed to ignore all the stares pointed at her, and proclaimed her attendance politely. But Naruto kept looking at her even when the rest turned to their own devices, absolutely smitten by the feeling of camaraderie bubbling up in his chest. She was making a presence that the blonde just couldn't manage to shake off, and the fact that they had something in common gave him hope for the uchiha's. she was sitting next to another smiling uchiha with hair looking like duckbutt they both were wearing similar clothes plain dark blue shirt with white shorts while sasuke as he heard had medium length hair Satsuki had long, black and shiny - were tied up in a high ponytail with a matching blue ribbon, and the only stain her porcelain white skin seemed to exhibit was a faint coloring to her cheeks. The most striking feature she had, however, had to be her deep onyx eyes matching that of her brother. sasuke seemed to be friends with kotaru and mito as they were sitting together and talking but satsuki was like a loner just like him

Iruka excused himself for a moment and stepped outside the class to submit his attendance register in the staff room, and nearly everyone in his class shot themselves at Satsuki, sasuke, mito and kotaru trying to make talk to them and get them to be their friend. Naruto knowing he had no chance in making friends - if the earlier reaction other students had exhibited to his presence were anything to go by, just sat staring out of the window

Naruto could interpret the reason for their popularity, they were the head of the uchiha clan and the hokage's kids after all oh the irony . He never even saw satsuki walk up to him, not even when she took an empty seat besides him, or the annoyed look she had plastered on her nose seeing his stupidly oblivious face.

"Uchiha Satsuki," she finally caved and called for his attention. naruto's sensing abilities apparently not existing for a moment, he was suprised and was going to take out a kunai why he saw who it was, he maintained his cold demeaner and said "I'm Uzumaki Naruto," Satsuki looked at him calculatingly, as if trying to figure him out like a puzzle.

She tucked a loose lock of hair behind her ear after a few moments, eyes shying away from him, "You were staring pretty intently at me before," she admitted softly, her cheeks coloring. Naruto did not show any reaction as he said "its nothing like that" he spoke in self defense not knowing any explanation he spoke the first thing that came up his mind "I just heard that you were an Uchiha and all,"

Naruto's voice trailed off when Satsuki's eyes narrowed in dangerously on him, "So?" she asked. "Is he one of those gold diggers Itachi told me about too...?!" she wondered.

"Do you have the Sharingan?" he asked curiously. Satsuki turned to face him and blinked, "What?" You know," Naruto naruto said, "The blood red eyes, black tomoes..."

Satsuki flushed, "I know what it is!"

"Then, do you-"

"No," Satsuki interjected, annoyed, "It only awakens in a select few, and way ahead in life."

'Except for a select few,' was what she didn't want to admit. meanwhile her brother or his friends didnt even notice her going away

"That sucks..." he sighed warily. Naruto took out a kunai and started balancing in on his finger

Satsuki giggled, "You're weird!" she chortled cutely.

Satsuki could see that he wasn't like the others in her class, and honestly didn't care for her clan name or for her status. His intense staring had surprised her at first, even forced her to blush since no one had ever looked at her so intently before. She also saw a little edge of a scar on his neck but didnt say anything this guy had a icy demeaner but warm eyes and that made him ludicrously cool in her books.

"Uchiha Satsuki," she properly introduced herself. Again. "Pleasure to meet you,"

She held out her hand for him to take, and Naruto shook it ,that made her smile, "You introduced yourself earlier. But, whatever," he chuckled, "Wanna be friends?!" satsuki offered excitedly. naruto looked at her with confusion

It was worth a shot!

Satsuki smiled ear to ear when she heard him say, "Sure" in a nonchalant

Unbeknownst to the bickering couple sitting in the corner, their entire class looked scandalized. Every last one of them had been trying as they might to befriend any of the 4 over the past couple of days, and had gotten ignored, berated - peskier ones were even beaten to the ground by the female Uchiha and namikaze, and now, she had just gone up the stairs herself and offered naruto friendship with a smile?

Ridiculous! even sasuke was bewildered

but before anyone could say anything Iruka came in and the rest of the day went by normally without any problems, naruto and satsuki were talking and laughing the whole time

(Timeskip - One Year)

naruto and satsuki had bonded really well, naruto often used to visit her home and fugaku being minato's best friend always use to welcome him with open arms , sasuke and naruto had also became good friends but not as good as satsuki and naruto, minato had taught naruto the shadow clones since naruto could not do the regular clone this resulted in naruto's training sky rocketing, minato knew naruto would have immense chakra but he did not expect his chakra to be so much, he had almost kage level reserves it was insane, naruto also usually talked to two certain readhead's mainly acting like a big brother to the two dumbasses who always used to somehow get in trouble because of their prank, oh how he hated orange and the feather's naruto had nightmare's about it till now, regardless of that naruto still had his cold personality , satsuki knew something was wrong with him but didnt ask him

Training ground's

minato and naruto were sparring, well more like naruto getting his ass kicked and minato just dodging and weaving, but naruto was not just kicking and punching, minato had taught naruto his own style, the humming bird style this style was based on speed and power, naruto's favorite move was kicking in a handstand

kotaru and mito had tried learning this style but they just couldn't learn it, minato had nothing to teach his children and it saddened him a little, jiraiya and tsunade had taken the responsibility of training the two.

Minato smirked at his downed son, he took many hits from him, and thats saying something, not even chunin and some jonin can take so many hit and stand "hmmmm, ok naruto your taijutsu is pretty good and your chakra control too so now we will do elemental control and jutsus and you also need to learn what your affinities are. those are the main points now here", minato handed naruto a paper "this will be your training schedule for 5 months of tortu- i mean training, Sunday's and Saturday's will be fuinjutsu training, monday's and tuesday's will be chakra control, along with elemental chakra control, Wednesday's and Thursday's will be physical and taijutsu training friday will be your resting day. naruto nodded after this.

minato and naruto found out that naruto had three affinities just like minato lightning wind and fire, minato was delighted that he could teach naruto all three of his affinities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

naruto was exhausted from his training so without even eating he got on his bed bed and closed his eyes

Naruto's mindscape

naruto opened his eyes to a familiar but not so familiar place, his mindscape, naruto sighed felling a incoming headache

"hello again naruto-kun" he heard an old voice, he turned around and saw hagoromo looking the same he did 2 years ago" i see many things happened with you" naruto nodded at that "so what do you want?" he said getting straight to the point, hagoromo chuckled at his antiques but suddenly his face turned serious, naruto seeing this also got serious

"well you see one of my relative has found out about this place and coming here in a few years" naruto's eyes widened at that "an otsusuki?" dread was increasing in his heart "yes naruto-kun" naruto gulped "so what do we do?" he asked "i cannot do anything naruto but you can" "why me? there are many other shinobi?" naruto asked "that .... i cannot tell you" naruto had to hold back a scowl, he hated when people would not tell him things he should know

"well you see the otsusuki coming has already eaten 2 god tree fruits and is on power with my mother" naruto was now scared " but why is it coming here?" he asked, already knowing the answer but wanting to confirm it "for the tailed beast" naruto nodded again " i see do you know the exact time the otsusuki will come?" hagoromo shook his head signaling that he didnt know "im glad that you listened to my advise and fixed your relationship with your father, but i have one last thing to give you its a summoning contract of the wolfs my secondary summons since my first were toads, the reason im giving this to you is well you can come now Akari-chan" naruto felt a huge chakra source as light enveloped the area and a few seconds later there was a giant black and white fox with 11 tails "naruto this is akari she is one of the tailed beast but stayed back in the place where i split the tailed beast the reason i didnt told you about her is because till now akari was a secret to the world, the 9 Biju or her siblings are strong but not as strong as her she is the power left after the ten tails was split into nine, i would say she is about 25 percent of the ten tails, and i entrust her with you" naruto was too shocked to say anything, the fact that there was a 10th tailed beast and she was entrusted to him is just overwhelming "she has already agreed to this and i have already sealed her inside you so you might fell a little pain when you wake up" naruto nodded dumbly at this " hello naruto , tou-san has told me about you and i hope we can be friends" the wolf smiled at her new partner "farewell naruto-kun i must go now" hagoromo said as there was a bright light and naruto was out of his mindscape

Next morning

minato was about to enter naruto's house when he heard a loud scream probably of naruto, he quickly entered and saw naruto on the floor screaming in pain "naruto what happened" he tried to calm naruto down and after 15 damn minutes naruto stopped screaming, minato helped naruto sit on the bed and gave him water, he was taking long breaths as he spoke " i-i-i got some big information" he then explained everything that happened to minato and made him promise to keep all this a secret to which minato agreed. naruto decided to train since he felt that he had unusually more chakra than usual "its because of me naruto-kun" naruto looked around but could not find anybody, minato looked at him as if he was crazy "im akari naruto and dont speak out loud just think and i will be able to hear it," he heard the 11 tailed wolf "like this?" he though "yes, and because im sealed in you now your chakra reserves and strength and speed have now increased immensely" "thank you akari" akari in return gave a mental smile

naruto began with his usual warm up while minato watched him, he then made 100 shadow clones noticing he did not felt the normal amount of chakra depletion, he weaved through handsigns and wind gathered in his lungs and he shot it out "fire style: fireball jutsu" there was an enormous white fire ball the size of the hokage mansion which burned half the training ground and many shadow clone, minato's eyes widened, never had he seen such a powerfull fireball and the heat felt unbearable, it was pure white just like some of fugaku's highest s rank fire jutsu's wtf!, naruto was also confused at this "my chakra has increased your jutsu's naruto" came in his reply from akari " thanks akari" he said he had to admit this was incredible, minato and naruto spent the rest of the day experimenting his new jutsu possibilities, that night naruto talked to akari and bonded with her, he also had to visit satsuki tomorrow, he is dead for sure, that girl is devil herself.
