Eight years later

A figure is now standing in front of the Hokage who seems to be about 5'3 inches tall. He had vibrant blue eyes and blond hair, along with three whisker like marks on his face. His face would be considered "cute" from a girls perspective. The figure had Anbu like clothes and the side of his right leg he had a hostler that is used for carrying kunai along with a holster on his left leg for a decent sized scroll, also an average sized pouch for shuriken and other ninja essentials on the back of his belt.

"Alright Naruto, since your ninja training is now finished, I want you to become a full pledge ninja for the leaf." said the Hokage with a sense of pride in his unofficial grandson and greatest pupil to date.

"But sensei, don't I have to go to the academy to be a ninja?" asked Naruto slightly confused.

"Do you really want to go to the academy Naruto-kun?” asked Sarutobi before answering his own question. “Well even if you do want to go the academy I can't send you there, because you would be too powerful for an academy student and I don't want to waste your potential learning how to do a bushin, kawarimi, and henge in the academy till your 15." Finished the old kage.

"Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay then, so how do you suppose I become a ninja?" questioned the young blonde lazily as he yawned out loud.

"Well there are special circumstances, but I don't want to waste time by explaining all that stuff. The point is that you could skip ranks by a special test that I want to you to take." Said the Hokage with a sly smirk.

"Is this the special plan you told me about in the beginning of my training?" asked Naruto with genuine curiosity.

(Flashback)

"Okay Naruto for the next eight years I will be teaching you Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and maybe some Genjutsu.” started Konoha's 'Professor' before continuing. “I want to make you strong enough to be able to stand toe to toe with one of the stronger ninja in this village. I also want you to specialize in ninjutsu, fuuinjutsu and also kenjutsu. There are not many ninja in our village that specialized any of these areas, and none who specialize in all of them. Once the training is complete I'll have something special planned for you, so I want you to work as hard as you can. Do we have a deal Naruto-kun?" finished the Sandaime with a smile.

(End-Flashback)

"Hai, so do you want to take the test?" asked Sarutobi with a knowing smile since he knows his young apprentice would never back down from a challenge.

"Well, I suppose if it makes me a ninja." Said Naruto with barely contained excitement.

"Alright I want you be at the Chuunin exam stadium at 11:00 AM sharp one week from today. There will be every Chuunin, and Jounin not currently on a mission, The Clan heads, and the Council members in attendance to see my newest apprentices skill. I want you to put on a show for them since they are going to be deciding if you are strong enough to achieve a high rank or if you`ll be a gennin." said the Hokage.

"Okay, one thing though. How did you manage to make the council agree? Since I KNOW you can't do something like this without the council agreeing, and I don't think that many if any of the council members really likes me " asked Naruto with a smirk knowing his sensei did something sneaky.

"Hahaha what? Are you accusing me of doing something devious or underhanded?" questioned the old kage with a look too innocent to be innocent on his face.

(Flashback)

In the council room several noticeable figures in the shinobi community could be seen, mainly the heads of The Hyuuga Clan, The Inuzuka Clan, The Nara Clan, The Akimichi Clan, The Yamanaka Clan, and The Aburame Clan. Also in attendance were several elders and militaristic leaders Koharu, Homaru, Danzo, and of course The Hokage himself. The civilian half of the council were not allowed in the room for this meeting since it had nothing to do with them, this was out of their league meaning it was purely for the Ninja community.

"What is it you called us here for Hokage-sama." said the Inuzuka head calming her usual brash and outspoken personality to fit in with the tense atmosphere.

"Yes, I have to get back to the compound since I have personal matters to take care of, so can we hurry this up." said Hiashi in his usual cold tone though with a hint of annoyance.

"I will get to it if you all will just settle down." this made everyone in the council listen carefully since the Hokage seemed to had a serious look on his face.

"This meeting is concerning the one called Uzumaki Naruto." said the Hokage stretching the name Uzumaki, causing many groans and sighs from the council, because no meeting about that boy is ever quick.

"Are you finally deciding to hand him over to my ROOT so we can make Konoha a perfect weapon." Said a crippled man with one eye while giving a cruel smirk.

"No Danzo, I am not giving him to the ROOT. I mean why would I give him to you and hamper his growth? Due to the simple fact that there is nothing you could teach him, because your ROOT is weak. Each member is low Anbu and you keep them there on purpose in case you can't control them. The only upside to it is that they are loyal to you to a fault. This is also the reason I've allowed you to keep your pitiful organization, because they are to weak to be anything more than a nuisance…just like you.” Stated the Sandaime with a firm tone while he wore a smirk hidden in the shadow of his hat at the look of shock on the councils face, and pure rage on Danzo's. No one expected the `professor' to say something like that to Danzo in private, let alone in front of the council. (A/N: I know in the original Naruto story, Sandaime disbanded ROOT, but I decided to keep it. So for thoes of you who didn't know that I wanted to inform you)

"Hai Hokage -sama" said Danzo through grited teeth, as he knew not to respond because everything The Hokage said was the truth, and to respond would just make him look like a fool.

"So what is you wish to talk to us concerning Uzumaki." said Koharu once the shock passed.

"Well you all know that I've been training him for long time now, so I want to test him to join ninja rank higher than gennin. Since to have him be a gennin would be extremely disadvantageous to Konoha, and before you even ask I won't allow him to go the Academy. He is to powerful for it and it would waste his time and potential, at his current strength I believe he would be able to take me on and have a 50 percent chance of winning. That's why I want to give him a test to advance instead of going through all the ranks starting at the bottom." Stated the Sandaime with pride in his voice, as there was a collective gasp from all those in the room.

"But Sarutobi don't you think its pretty dangerous to give such a young boy so much power? I mean look what happened to Itachi. He killed his whole clan for power, well except his brother." Said Homaru in a worried tone.

"I understand your concern Homaru, but I know Naruto and he doesn't want power for his own selfishness. He wants to be strong and protect everyone in Konoha when he grows up. He has the Will Of Fire that some ninjas in our village seem to lack.” at this point the Hokage gazed at his ex-teammates and the war hawk Danzo before continuing. “He is also my true protégé and I believe in him.” Finished the aging Kage with a smile.

"If that's your choice then I fully support it Hokage-sama." said Hiashi quickly. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Never did like council meetings anyway.

"Thank you Hiashi." Said the old Hokage though he had a feeling it wasn't so much faith in his kage that helped him with his decision or more like annoyance at having to be in another meeting revolving around Naruto.

"Well then, if that's settled then when is the exam going to be?” said Koharu slightly annoyed at the prospect of the young blond being so strong.

Then Sarutobi said, "It will be held in the chuunin exam stadium in exactly one week from now.”

(End-Flashback)

"And you know Naruto not everyone in the council hates you. Well, except Danzo who had asked me to make you join ROOT couples hundred times, so don't lose faith in Konoha yet. I mean, I know that they don't like you much, but someday they will come around and accept you I know they will after all you`ll be their Hokage one day.” said Sarutobi with a playful edge in his old voice towards the end.

"I hope so old man and you know I could never be angry at someone who's done no true harm towards me or my precious people for too long" said Naruto smiling.

"I know Naruto and remember to be prepared in one week. Polish your skills in this week. Though don't go overboard on your training, because you're going to need your strength with the opponent you're going to be fighting. Now get out since I have a lot of paperwork left to do." Said the Hokage with fear in his voice as he peered at the large stacks of paper that seem to almost be taunting him.

"You know Oji-san I know a way to defeat it, but I'll only tell you when you tell me why more than half of Konoha hates me." with that Naruto shushined out of the room.

If he had waited a little longer he would've seen the sad face of the Hokage, who was at the moment staring at the picture of hero of Konoha, The Yondaime Hokage.

A week later Naruto could be seen heading to the stadium wondering who his opponent was going to be, and if the person was going to be a good challenge. For the past week he had worked twice as hard preparing for this day. He had spent three days on Ninjutsu solely, and three days for Taijutsu. Then yesterday he took the day to rest his muscles, since they were still sore from the harsh training. He didn't work on Fuuinjutsu since it would really come in handy for an all out fight.

Naruto was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't seem to notice that he was already in the middle of the stadium. Though he was shaken out of his thoughts when someone tapped him on the shoulder. As he looked behind him and saw some guy who was chewing on senbon. `Hmmm I wonder if this is my opponent? Nah he's looks too weak.' Even though Naruto wasn't the type to underestimate someone, he just couldn't help but do that with this guy.`I wouldn't even need to go half power to beat him, he must be the proctor.' thought the young blonde. Then as he looked around the stadium and saw the Hokage in a booth with the council members and clan heads in a nearby booth.

On the other section he could see all shinobi waiting patiently for the match to start. But one person caught Naruto's eye in particular, she had beautiful red eyes, brunette hair, and the most beautiful face he had ever seen. With her could be seen another women who was also beautiful, but not as beautiful the red-eyed…Goddess. Also with them was silvered haired man and Asuma Sarutobi.

He then skimmed through more people and didn't seem to notice anyone he knew so he turned to the proctor and said "Are you my opponent, because I don't really see anyone else beside you here." While flaring a portion of his chakra, almost causing the proctor to fall to his knees at the unexpected pressure.

Rather shakily the proctor said, "N-n-no, I'm n-n-not your opponent, b-but he should be here any second.”

Just then everyone heard a girly scream and looked up to see a person falling from the sky and land right next to the proctor. After a minute of twitching the man stood up. He had white hair and had red tattoos under his eyes going down in straight line. Moments later he saw Naruto and said "Soooo, you're my opponent hmmmm I thought you'd be bigger from how Sarutobi-sensei kept bragging about you." While eying Naruto.

"If you are my opponent then where the hell were you all this time!? I was starting to lose my patients and why the hell did you fall from the sky?"

"Well you see I was searching to see if there are enemies in Konoha and I suddenly encountered a dangerous foe and after fighting a couple of minutes I finally managed to defeat the foe, but before I land the fatal blow, the enemy he used and incredible Taijutsu move to make me fly and that's why I was late." Said the new arrival with a proud look that he was able to save face in front the crowd.

Naruto not believing the story said, " Is that why you have slap mark on your face?"

Just then the man gave another girly scream and shouted, "HEY I TOLD YOU IT WAS A POWERFUL ATTACK." crying in anime style.

A Minute before…

The same man could be seen spying on the women in the hot spring before he felt an evil aura, and looked back to see a group of women who had dark auras surrounding them. They then screamed in unison, "WHY YOU LITTLE PERVERT PREPARE TO FACE DIVINE PUNISHMENT!!“ and the leader slapped him so hard that it sent him flying three quarters of the way across Konoha.

Present time

"So now that you are here what's you name." said Naruto immediately regretting his question.

The man then did a crappy dance while summoning a large toad under him and said," I AM THE PROTECTOR OF WEAK AND ELIMINATOR OF THE ENEMY FOR I AM JIRAIYA THE TOAD SANNIN."

Causing everyone in the stadium to drop and Naruto said, " Okay then now can we get started with the show already."

This made Jiraiya say, “Why? Are you so anxious to get you ass handed by me that you can't wait?" with a smirk before it was returned ten fold by the young blonde before him.

"Whatever Ero-Sennin." Remarked the young man causing a tick to appear on Jiraiya's forehead.

Just then before Jiraiya could retort the Hokage rose from his seat and said, “SHINOBI OF KONOHA, TODAY WE'LL BE EXPERIENCING A BATTLE BETWEEN TWO OF MY STUDENTS JIRAIYA THE TOAD SANNIN AND MY NEW APRENTICE UZUMAKI NARUTO. THIS BATTLE WE WILL BE JUDGED BY THE COUNCIL AND I TO SEE WHICH RANK HE SHOULD ATTAIN. SO ENJOY THE SHOW, BECAUSE THIS MIGHT BE A FIGHT YOU WILL NEVER GET TO SEE AGAIN AND MOST LIKELY WILL NEVER FORGET." Loudly stated the Hokage before announcing to for the proctor to begin. "PROCTOR START THE MATCH."

Naruto and Jiraiya was facing opposite of each other and the proctor was on the side of the field and he said, " Okay the rules are that you are simple no killing each other. I will call match if I see one person is unconscious or unable to continue due to injuries. NOW ARE YOU TWO READY."

"Hai" said Naruto and Jiraiya in unison.

"HAJIME." Shouted the proctor.
