Uzumaki Naruto Chronicles Rewrite

Chapter 1

The Return

Author's note: Hello all, I found this fic a while ago and loved it, I read it a couple of times, and with the exception of a couple of scenes and things that I want and will change. There will be plenty of changes but plenty of things will stay the same. So first and foremost I will say that like in the original the characters are all older I dont think 10 year olds should be falling in love and soldiers and what not. So that being said the main characters the konoha 12 are all 15 and 16 years old. I am not 100% sure where I will go with this but taking opinions on where it should go. For the most part it's the same premise same teams. Only concrete pairing is NaruHina. I am leaning towards Kakashi/Anko as well but I want y'alls opinion. Please read and review. Please ignore the reviews for chapters 35 and 41 as they have been taken out and the brutal torture scene has been removed.

It was finally here the day of the genin exams; everyone was at the school preparing to take the test. All but Uzumaki Naruto that is. Iruka was in the front of the class listing off the different students.

Hinata sat in the back of the classroom, She was lost in her thoughts, thinking of Naruto, He had been gone so long, she really did miss him, he was her idol, she had always looked up to him. But no one had seen him in so long, she missed him. The young Hyuuga heiress was so lost in thought that she didn't hear Kiba walk up and sit next to her.

She was brought out of her thoughts by Kiba speaking up, "Hey sexy, how's life treatin ya?"

Hinata grimaced, he could not take a hint, she was not into him, at all. "Ummm, l l l life i i is go go good, but p p please d don't c c call me th that."

Kiba smirked, "Why shouldn't I call you that, it's true."

Hinata frowned, he was never going to give this up. "P p please it m m makes m me u uncomfortable a a an dont l l like you li like th that, the raven haired beauty stuttered out.

Kiba frowned, "Hinata, don't be like that. You are still stuck on that jerk Naruto aren't you! He isn't coming back, he is probably dead somewhere. Get over him you belong with an Alpha dog like me not that loser."

Hinata's eyes teared up, "Don't s s say th th that p p please i it isn't true."

Kiba got even angrier and grabbed her arm pulling her to face him, only to be stopped by Iruka telling him to pay attention and stop talking, obviously ignorant of what was going on between the two. He continued to call out names until he called out Naruto's name but no one called out saying, "Here" he sighed and went to mark off the young blonde student as yet again absent. He would not graduate yet again, another year would go by.

Of course Iruka had looked for the boy he saw him as almost a little brother, so he had looked for him at the beginning when he first left, however he had found nothing and went to the Hokage, but the Hokage would not tell him anything only said Naruto would be fine and not to worry. Of course that certainly didn't help him at the time.

"He isn't coming sensei, why do you keep calling out for that LOSER! he is never coming probably off dead or something, good riddance to him I say, he was just an annoyance!"

"Sakura, you should not say that about him, he was a good person just a little lost sometimes."

Iruka was about to move on when the door creaked open he looked up and in walked Naruto, except he looked different, he had a different air about him, more serious. He was much more fit, and all around looked like a ninja. No longer did he wear his orange jumpsuit but had instead changed it out for a black jumpsuit with the Uzumaki clan sign on the back in a burnt orange. Iruka was stunned, Naruto had changed.

"I am here Iruka sensei, don't worry I am ready to take and pass my exam."

Everyone in the room was in utter shock, Naruto had not been in class since nearly the start of the year.

Sakura was first to speak up, "Yeah right! an idiot like you have no chance to take the exam and pass. You haven't been here since the start of the year and you sucked then. Honestly you should have never come back, no one wants you here."

But Naruto just ignored the banshee and went and sat down next to Hinata, he grinned at her and said, "Hello Hinata, it's nice to see you today!"
Hinata blushed a deep red, "H h h hello Na Naruto-k kun, I am w w well, I a am g glad to ha have you b back." the shy Hyuuga stuttered back to him. She was very nervous, he had never really done this before, sat next to her and took up conversation with her.

Naruto grinned and the two began to chat, albeit not easily, Hinata's stutter was flat out awful.

It was at this point that Kiba, who was on the other side of Naruto started to get too pissed off at Naruto. "What the hell do you think you are doing Naruto, you left, you cant just walk back in here as if you never left."

Naruto glanced at him but didn't respond and went back to his conversation with Hinata. This pissed the dog ninja off even more and he started to get a little too riled up. Iruka noticed and put a stop to it immediately as he started calling students in to be tested.

Naruto was finally called into the testing room, Iruka greeted him as he walked in and had him perform the exercises necessary for passing and tested him on the jutsus. Naruto passed all three including the clone jutsu.,

Iruka was worried, Naruto had always had problems with the the clone jutsu. But Naruto shocked him and performed a shadow clone jutsu.

"Naruto where did you learn how to use that jutsu?"

Well sensei I learned it because I have too much chakra and not enough control so I cant do normal clones, however I am working on a wind clone and a fire clone, but those are hard to contain into a long lasting clone, long enough anyways for them to do any good"

Iruka was shocked but nodded, he grinned and presented Naruto with his Head protector claiming he had passed. With that Naruto gave Iruka a note to give to Hinata and Shushinned away, not wanting to deal with the other students.
