"Begin!".
With that, Sasuke dashed towards Naruto as he kicked at his face Naruto dodged as he battled to the level of sasuke.
"Oh, he can fight with Sasuke".
"Hmph, Sasuke is the strongest not that stinking Naruto!" Sakura said as she pouted her face along with Ino and a bunch of girls agreeing.
The boys becoming jealous started cheering for Naruto.
"Go Naruto, beat him up!".
"Teach this stinking pretty boy a lesson!".
Naruto not fazed had his mind elsewhere, 'there still watching me, so I should show enough to not be monitored even more severely'.
Sasuke looking Naruto realised he was just defending, "oi, Naruto stop defended and attack!" His cold voice woke Naruto up.
"Sure" Naruto then blocked his punch as he appeared behind him, he locked his arms as he lifted Sasuke up, he then give him suplex.
The children and Iruka seeing this had shocked faces, as soon as Naruto attacked he won.
"W-winner Naruto!". Getting up Naruto dusted his clothes as he walked away.
Hiruzen watching secretly had a knowing look, "to be expected of a Uzumaki there physical strength is amazing".
Danzo's spies also monitored Naruto as they also reported back to him. Inside his room Danzo read the details "if only Hiruzen would allow him to be trained by me, he'd become a weapon only usable by the leaf!".
Back at the field Naruto under the shocked faces walked to his bench as he sat down. The duels continued as Naruto fought against Shikamaru, Choji and Sakura beating them all.
However, Shikamaru gave up before the start of the match.

In the forest, the real Naruto stood there, currently he was using his Wind Chakra nature.
"Wind style: breakthrough!" Breathing out a massive amount of wind blowed in all directions, the trees swayed and the grass was cut.
"The wind element is broken, but I wonder why no one used it to fly?" Naruto wondered.
He then did the bird seal "wind style: Flying Locust Wind!" A wind vortex surrounded Naruto as he shot himself upwards above the trees, looking around he could see a vast landscape of trees and the outside world.
"Soon, I'll leave this village, soon". Coming back down, Naruto then summoned clones as they continued practicing whilst he sat down. He thought of what he wanted to do after he left.
He planned on joining the Akatsuki, but they were after the tailed beasts and he didn't want to be stabbed in the back by them. Another problem was if he left the village, he wondered if news of him becoming a rogue Ninja would reach the frogs living in the mountains, and if it did then they might not let him learn sage mode.
So he had to carefully consider his choices, he couldn't leave to early, he needed to leave right when he got the maximum amount of benefits.
"Wait, the battle that happened in the Final Valley between Sasuke and Naruto with Sasuke winning, if I use that chance when I let Sasuke intentionally beat me I can disappear and use that excuse to persuade the frogs to teach me Sage Mode!".
"Hahaha, what a beautiful plan" Naruto smiled evilly. He then got up as he resumed his strength training, he also practiced his agility.
Naruto got used his to weights rather quickly so he had changed them in the morning going higher.
Now, when he was using Armageddon, it felt really slow the weights he currently had was twice his weight, so everywhere it felt like two of him were hanging on his arms and legs, he also went back to the shop as he renovated his goggles and now they weight twice his body weight.
Naruto wanted to train every part of his body, continuing his killing techniques, he also add his wind nature as the become sharper and more aggressive, along with the agile nature of wind it added a boost to his destructive power.
His clones continued learning as many wind style jutsu's he could remember.
"Wind style: vacuum blade!" The clone blowed as a green like blade formed on the kunai, then the clone slice off a tree as the destructive effects were amazing.
After mastering two more wind style releases, Naruto had become stronger he strength was well within the genin, if he used most things in his repertoire he'd be able to kill chunins, however Naruto didn't know how many at once he could kill at once.
His chakra although large was still at the genin range, Naruto however felt he would reach chunin soon.
After finishing up he arrived home before the clone and as usual he gained information about what had occurred at the academy.
"Looks like the massacre has happened, heh what if me and Sasuke destroy the Konoha together".
'Should I tell him the truth? Nah otherwise it might affect his growth'. "Hehe, stupid Itachi the brother and village you tried so hard protecting will be destroyed by me'.
Naruto then stretched, after stretching he opened the window as he looked outside.
The anbus watching looked at his face that was sticking out the window, they saw a smile on his face as his hair fluttered in the wind.
They couldn't help but smile a little bit, it reminded them of the Fourth Hokage, however they soon snapped out of their state as they all felt weird.
"Why did i suddenly think of Lord Fourth? That's weird, anyway my shifts ending soon".
The smile they saw was indeed genuine, Naruto for once was smiling happily, although that was due to him thinking about the destruction he would cause and the beautiful moonlight just made him happier.
Naruto then closed the window as he ate some instant ramen, "my allowance should be arriving tomorrow so I'll train inside".
He then went to bed as he got into his pyjamas. Waking up in the morning, he ate, done his routine and went outside for a walk, he usual did this as it was nice way to think about things and get some legs in.
"Naruto is going for another walk". The Anbu's then followed him again, all of Naruto's actions have been reported to the hokage so for the past week of school Hiruzen didn't find anything unusual in Naruto's behaviour.
Although Naruto had stopped being mischievous, Hiruzen felt like he grew up and Naruto himself said that he wanted to protect the village so Hiruzen felt it was a good start.
And the report also showed he made friends in his class, "Shikamaru, Choji, hmm seems Sakura just bullies him although it's not too bad and oh, Hinata? The Hyuga princess, interesting".
"Atleast he isn't a loner anymore, sorry Minato, although your son should be treated like the hero's son, haaaah, it's all my fault I hope in the afterlife you forgive me when I come".

As naruto walked, he'd still get some disdain however he avoided it by waking up extra early to complete his daily walk.
'Normally everyone finishes at 12 but there are geniuses like Itachi and Kakashi who finished within a year, but to attract the least attention I'll finish when I reach twelve".
After finishing up his walk Naruto came back home as he laid down and entered his mind to talk to Kurama.
