70Introduction to the story and expectations
Author: Hello, my name is EvilCuttlefish! This is my first time writing a fanfiction, so please no
flames, but I will accept constructive criticism, I will always look for a way to make my story better.
So, this is a Naruto Fanfiction, and I will say this right now, if you wish to use the story as a template for your own work, that is fine, just ask me first and don't just copy and paste to your own story, make it your own.
The genre... ummm... action will be one of them, maybe a little romance later on, and there will be humor. There will be bashing, not a HUGE AMOUNT, but to those who deserve it, Jiraiya for one will get some bashing, I mean, it is really, REALLY, irresponsible not to at least visit your godson to let him know that you at least exist, I mean COME ON! Tsunade will more likely bash in someones brains. Sasuke... yep, he will be bashed, I sorry for all you Sasuke lovers, (I don't even know why people like his character so much, I mean the show is not named "Sasuke" and he is kind of... wait, no... he is an arse) but he need to be taken down a few pegs, but sadly they will be unable to remove the stick from his arse. There will be Sakura bashing, she is one of the characters I hate the most, the eternal Sasuke Fan Girl, I'm sorry, but I really didn't see much improvement in her character throughout the whole show, she manipulates Naruto into doing what she wants all the time and beats him constantly for being NICE, plus he obsession with Sasuke is a bit creepy. So she will be shown no mercy. Kakashi will also be bashed, I'm sorry but, for a Village that prides itself on teamwork and with Kakashi's "Abandon the mission and you are trash, but abandon your comrades and you are worse than trash" spiel, him being a favoritism junkie with Sasuke, that ain't gonna cut it.
As to the Kyuubi, he will be nice in this fiction
The length of the chapters will be short, seeing as how I am just starting to write.
Also there may be some songs that I will include if I find that they really work with the story.
As for pairings, I am a HUGE NaruHina fan, but I may lean towards(and only if I write it in such a way that she only thinks of Naruto as a Friend or he rejects her in a kind way) NaruTen, NaruAnko, I like the NaruMei, but she has to be a bit younger, besides, in the Anime to my knowledge never really says her age, and NaruPretty much any girl besides Sakura, I hate NaruSaku and I will never do that Yaoi stuff NaruSasu(shivers), so don't ask for those two, it will never happen, ever, end of story. Will there be a Harem? N.O. There will not be a Harem in my stories, ever, I dislike the idea of a harem, to me it is unfair to all parties involved, especially to the women, to me it just does not feel decent, especially when Naruto gets like, 16 girls and he acts like a playboy.
As to how this is written, language and things like that, there will be English mixed with Japanese, the techniques NinJutsu and other wise will either be pure English or Pure Japanese, Not something like "Shadow Clone no Jutsu"... I sorry that is just stupid sounding to me since I have taken about three semesters of Japanese... So it will be like this: "Kage Bushin no Jutsu" or "Shadow Clone Technique" there will be no mixing, also for the techniques, I will be looking at the Narutopedia Jutsu List you can find it here: (Find it on my profile page) There is a lot of Techniques there to use, and it has the kanji, rōmaji, and literal English translations, I will probably write it like this though, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu"(Shadow Clone Technique) The Japanese name and then the translation. Also, don't worry about the story having to many flashbacks, there will only be a limited abount.
Also, at the end of the chapters, I will have The classification of the jutsu, the rank, the class, the hand seals, and what it's parent jutsu was.
Also, I will GLADLY take a beta to help me on this story, I know I need it, so please PM me.
As to content, this will most likely be T rated, limited language, (there will be the universal curse word, Dammit lol), the descriptions of characters will be clothes and such basic physical features, it will be basic, not in great detail.
O.K. What else do I need to say... ummm... hmm...
Oh! Right, the Summary of the story! O.K.
On the month of training before the final round of the Chūnin Exams, Naruto asks Kakashi for training and Kakashi turns him down in favor of training Sasuke. Naruto, being very pissed off, storms away after telling Kakashi off for showing blatant favoritism to his students, Naruto drops his "mask" and goes and trains by himself, he finds someone called Doren Scythe, who, after hearing his story, decides to train Naruto for the exams.
Key:
'Thinking'
"Talking"
'Bijuu thinking'

Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto franchise, nor do I own any other anime/games that I may make reference to.
Anyways, without further ado,
ON TO THE STORY!
The True Naruto
In a Training field on the outskirts of Konoha, Number 38 I believe, we find our blond protagonist, he is beating the stuffing out of a tree, his hands are all bloody from the repeated impacts on the tree trunk.
"That DAMN 'Sensei' of ours", said Naruto "he talks about teamwork and not abandoning comrades, and then he goes off and trains Sasuke, for the exams, not even giving myself or Sakura(even though she is not in the exams, having failed the prelims. Not that she would even try to train anyways) something to work on for the exams!"
Flashback
In the Konoha hospital after the preliminary rounds of the Chūnin Exams, we find Naruto, he is looking for Kakashi, so he can start a training plan for the month before the final round.
"Kakashi-sensei! I found you! Can we start training for the exam!" said Naruto
Kakashi looks up from his little orange book and says "Sorry Naruto, but I can't train you, I'm going to be training Sasuke for the finals."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and said "Why can't you train Sasuke and I for the final month, why only Sasuke?"
Kakashi, not even looking up from his book, said "Because Naruto, I need to train Sasuke to be able to fight Gaara."
Naruto looks at Kakashi and says "And I'm fighting a Hyuuga who was the Rookie of the Year of the last graduating class, why aren't I getting trained too?"
Kakashi, finally looking up from his literature(coughDirtyBookcough) says "Because Naruto, I don't think that you are going to be worth the time or effort, you are just going to lose."
While Naruto was listening to this, his hands were starting to clench and bleed from the his strength.
"So why did you even take a team?" Said Naruto "If all you were going to do is train the Uchiha?!"
Kakashi, already looking back at his book says "Because Naruto, you were to be used as stepping stone so that Sasuke would push himself to get stronger." At this point Kakashi had Shunshin(Body Flicker) and out of the area in a poof of smoke and some leafs.
Flashback end
So, we come back to the training field where Naruto is working on his Taijutsu, which, along with his other skills, well... lets just say that they were well below average, not due to his training, oh no, but due to his 'sensei' and his training methods.
"I really need to get out of this jumpsuit, it really won't do for being a Shinobi." said Naruto "But the problem with that is the shops, they won't let me in to buy anything... Maybe a Henge(Transformation) will work, I have noticed that my Henge is slightly different from other Shinobi's."
Now, Naruto had figured out that his Henge is actually solid, meaning that he could interact with objects and other people without breaking it.
So with this in mind, he used the Henge and transformed into a generic boy his age, brown hair, brown eyes, black shirt, dark blue pants and black sandals.
He then proceeded to go and find a Shinobi outfitting shop.
What he didn't see is someone watching him from the trees at the edge of the training field. "Hmm, this boy is interesting, perhaps..." the shadowy person said.
Scene change
Naruto found a shop, and once inside he asked the clerk for the Shinobi section, the clerk, a retired Shinobi, pointed him in the right direction.
Naruto was looking around and then he saw it, it was in the back section of the store, it looked like not many people went there.
It looked perfect, it had dark purple material for the shirt and pants, and what looks like bandages connected to segmented metal shoulder pads, wrapped around the torso and arms as well as attached to the leather belt that comes with it, it also had a blood red scarf that went a little farther than mid back and black gloves and black arm guards. (see my profile pic, that is what it looks like. Just add the arm guards)
"It's perfect!" said Naruto, and it was at a low price, seeing as it hadn't ever been touched.
So Naruto went over and took the outfit off of the rack, plus some extras of the outfit, seeing that there were about ten of them in stock, he took about six. He then proceeded to get three pairs of black T-shirts and three pairs of dark blue T-shirts with a white stripe going down the sides, with the Uzumaki Crest and three pairs of black long sleeved shirts with the same crest and four pairs of black ANBU style pants for off duty time, and two pairs of black steel towed combat boots and fingerless gloves, plus some regular shoes.
He brought all of the cloths to the front desk, and as he was moving towards it, he saw some sealing scrolls behind the clerk on a shelf.
While Naruto was buying the clothes he asked, "Hey, can I get some of those sealing scrolls to hold everything?"
The clerk said "Sure." he reached back and grabbed three scrolls and handed them to Naruto, "You know how to use those?" the clerk asked.
"Yep." said Naruto
"Alright then," said the clerk "that will be 20750 Yen, will that be all?"
Naruto, stood for a few seconds and thought about it, and after he was done thinking he asked "Do you have any Katars or hand claws?"
"Hmm, I think I have something that might interest you, wait right here." said the clerk, as he moved to the storage area behind the front desk.
"I think that these will do just fine for what you are looking for." Said the clerk as he came back. In his hands he was holding a set of Pantera Claws ( Look at my profile page for the link.) They were hand crafted steel with a dull finish, the handles were made of black wood, about five inches wide, the claws themselves, were about eight and a half inches long.
"They are made of 440 stainless steel, so they won't rust, this is a very rare commodity around here, sadly most of the Shinobi in the village prefer Kunai and Shuriken to other weapons, so it never really sold, so I will give this to you for 2540 Yen, what do you think?"
Naruto looks at the claws, they are beautifully made, so he says "I'll take them."
Naruto opened his "Gama-Chan" and payed for the clothes and the claws, and said "Thanks for the clothes and the claws!" the clerk says "Sure, just make sure that you come in without the henge next time, Uzumaki-san."
Naruto froze, and slowly turned toward the clerk, who was smiling at him. "I know the difference between a Kunai and a storage scroll kid, you'll get no trouble from me, and you're welcome to come back anytime, I'll even give you a slight discount."
Naruto just looks at the clerk with tears forming in his eyes and says "Th-Thanks!"
"No problem kid, my names Dustin."
"Well you probably already know my name, but I'll introduce myself anyway, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you Dustin."
"Same here Naruto, come back anytime if you need more clothes or weapons." said the now named clerk Dustin.
"Are you sure that it's O.K. For me to come back?" asked Naruto.
"Well, I do own this shop so, no I don't think it will be a problem." Said Dustin.
"Thank you again, Dustin-san!" Said Naruto.
Dustin smiles and says "No problem Naruto, now, will there be anything else you want to buy?"
Naruto looks at the sealing scrolls and asks, "Do you have any books on Fuuinjutsu?"
"Fuuinjutsu, huh... I think I have a few books on that," says Dustin, "Ah, here we go, I have a beginners and intermediate Fuuinjutsu book that would help, I'll throw that in for free."
Naruto smiles a true smile as he takes the books and says as he walks toward the door "Thanks again Dustin-san!"
"No problem Naruto."
Scene Change
Back at Training Field 38, after Naruto has taken everything home, stored it, and changed into his new outfit, we find our blond hero sitting under a tree studying his Fuuinjutsu book for beginners. He had decided to become a seal master, seeing as it is one of the most underused arts of the Shinobi world. He sees many elemental sealing techniques including the elemental versions of the Fuuka Houin(Fire Sealing Method), which gave him an idea, but that would be for later. He also saw something called the Shikoku Fuuin(Finger Engraving Seal), which is used by forming the needed sealing chakra on the tip of the finger, can allow the user to engrave a message into an object.
"Hmm, I wonder if I could change the technique so that it would allow me to engrave seals instead of messages?" Then an evil smile crossed Naruto's face as he sees one seal in particular, something called Mukau Suiyoku Fuuin(Directed Thrust Seal), and he thinks 'Ohhh boy, this gives me so many ideas for pranks... Hmm, with sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.' thought Naruto. He puts the book away and says "But that can wait until a little later, COME OUT, I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!"
Naruto Looks over to the left, and sees a man emerge out of the shadows, the man has black hair, and he is wearing a black leather jacket a dark red T-shirt, with dark blue ANBU style pants, and he is wearing black fingerless gloves with steel plates attached to the backs of the gloves.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" says/asks Naruto.
The man says "Well, my name is Doren Scythe, Naruto Uzumaki, and my purpose for being here is to teach you."
CLIFFHANGER
EvilCuttlefish: Heh, sorry but this is where the story ends on the first chapter, you will all have to wait for more.
Updates will come hopefully once a month, if it takes a little more than that, then I am sorry, I must be having a writers block moment or something is going on that requires my attention.
Jutsu Corner
(The information provided here is from the Naruto Wikia Jutsu list, the link is found at the beginning of the story)
Shunshin no Jutsu:
Also known as the Body Flicker Technique, it is a supplementary D-rank ninjutsu The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed.To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination.
The different hidden villages have variations of the Body Flicker Technique, all of which involve some extra element aside from the movement itself. The extra element is usually some sort of substance used to distract the opponent, such as leaves or sand. Gaara, for instance, uses the Sand Body Flicker (砂瞬身, Suna-Shunshin), which uses sand to cover his movements. Other varieties include the Mist Body Flicker (霧瞬身, Kiri-Shunshin), Water Body Flicker (水瞬身,Mizu-Shunshin), and Leaf Body Flicker (木ノ葉瞬身, Konoha-Shunshin). The Fourth Raikage combined the Body Flicker Technique with the Lightning Release Armour which allowed him to dodge even Amaterasu in a split second. When his father utilized the technique, it looked like a bolt of lightning appeared and disappeared from the area, and he could avoid the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken twice despite the technique's immense speed.
Henge no Jutsu:
Also known a the Transformation technique it is an supplementary E-rank ninjutsu, the hand seals are Dog – Boar – Ram, Given all the missions ninja are assigned to - battle, intelligence gathering, diversions - this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique an abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be exactly like the genuine article, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the most basic ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it.
The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user; though this is of course not always successful.
Tsunade of the Sannin possesses a more advanced version of the Transformation Technique, where she disguises her 50-year-old self to appear younger. Her technique is unique as it seems to be permanent, and she does not need to exert herself to maintain it for a long time, whereas a normal transformation would be dispelled when the user is injured or attacked. The only time this is broken is when Tsunade releases all the chakra from the seal on her forehead.
(The Information provided for seals is from a website, you can find it on my profile page.)
Fuuka Houin:
Also known as the Fire Sealing Method, it is a close range supplementary B-rank seal, the seal allows the user to seal away a nearby fire. After unrolling a scroll to hold the fire, the ninja writes the needed sealing incantation onto the scroll. Then by forming the needed hand seals, a vapor will emanate from the scroll to encompass the fire and take it back to the scroll for sealing.
Shikoku Fuuin:
Also known as the Finger Engraving Seal, it is a Close range Supplementary C-rank seal, it is used by forming the needed sealing chakra on the finger and using it to engrave messages.
Mukau Suiyoku Fuuin:
This seal is a creation of my own design, it has two seals incorporated into it, a basic sealing matrix that has been modified for in-taking air, the air is then pressurized and when there is a sufficient amount of air, it is then released in a stream from another basic sealing matrix that has been modified.
And here be the end of the first chapter of the the story:
