Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, no matter how much I wished I did

What if Naruto was smart and skilled as a shinobi when he became a genin?

Naruto had always wanted to become a shinobi. He had spent countless hours in the library studying books on jutsu techniques. By the age of 8, he had mastered substitution, clone, body flicker, water surface walking, and transformation techniques. He could also do simple genjutsu as well as genin level taijutsu. From the books he read, Naruto gained a vast knowledge of shinobi history and events, as well as a high IQ. He also stopped wearing orange knowing that bright colors attract attention.

"CAN'T WAIT TO GET RAMEN, DATTEBAYO!" Naruto shouted, causing his voice to echo throughout the village. Using shunshin(body flicker technique), Naruto reached Ichiraku, and then he looked down at his watch. "40 SECONDS!? That's a new record!" Naruto thought as he sat down on the stool.

"My usual please," Naruto asked politely, a shinobi's got to have manners.

"Oi Naruto, didn't see you there, Miso Tonkotsu Ramen coming up," Teuchi replied. After waiting for a bit, Teuchi laid the china bowl on the wooden table. Naruto inhaled deeply, letting the steam from the Ramen flow inside his nostrils. Ahhhhh this never gets old Naruto thought before digging into his food.

After half an hour, Naruto had finished his ramen and he checked his watch. "Oh shit! I'm going to be late for the Academy Orientation," Naruto thought, panicking. Using shunshin, he barely reached the academy in time for orientation. After orientation, he decided to start filling in the form to apply for the academy.

"Parents or guardians sign here….?" Naruto groaned, "Oh well, lets see if Teuchi can help me." Naruto then proceeded to shunshin to Ichiraku. He sat on the stool, startling the Teuchi.

"Oi Naruto, what would you like to order now?" Teuchi inquired while washing dirty dishes.

"Nah I don't really want to eat anything, could you sign this, dattebayo?" Naruto replied even though he knew he was hungry.

"Isn't that for your parents or guardians to sign? Oh wait... Yeah I'll sign it for you" Teuchi remembered, The kid's been taking care of himself… It's kind of sad watching him learn things without a parent or guardian to guide him.

"Thanks Teuchi-jiji!" Naruto replied happily.

After Teuchi signed it, Naruto proceeded to head to the Shinobi Management Office. He walked down the worn down path that many people wishing to become a shinobi had walked on. As he reached a more populated area of Konoha, he felt the disapproving eyes of people on him. Naruto looked down and didn't say anything. Suddenly, a genin rushing by ran into him.

"Hey kid watch where you're going!" the genin said while looking up, "Wait its YOU?! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KILLED MY PARENTS!"

"WHAT!? WHY WOULD I KILL YOUR PARENTS YOU BAKA!" Naruto yelled back, knowing that a fight would occur. The genin rushed forward, kicking dust in the air, and pushed Naruto to the floor, only for Naruto to disappear.

"Shit that was a clone," the genin thought, "where is he now?"

"SEXY HAREM JUTSU!" yelled a voice behind him. Suddenly, four naked stunningly beautiful ladies approached the young genin. The genin had a heavy nosebleed, causing him to faint.

"Why does everyone think I've killed people…" Naruto wondered, knowing that he didn't kill anyone

Naruto continued to the Shinobi Management Office and when he reached it, he turned in his form, which had blood splatters from the genin.

A few hours later after Naruto turned in his form, it had reached the Hokage's desk. "Hmm," Hiruzen wondered out loud as he looked at Naruto's application, taking notice of the drops of blood. "Where did this blood come from? Never mind that, the boy has potential, according to the academy instructors Naruto shunshined to the academy," Hiruzen thought, "Alright I'm going to let him in, he could be a valuable asset to Konoha one day." Hiruzen proceeded to stamp the form with an "approved" stamp.

A few days after Naruto turned in his forms, the forms were handed back.

"DATTEBAYO! I WAS APPROVED!" Naruto yelled out loud, causing the people around him to back away from Naruto. The demon fox brat got in? was the thoughts of many when they heard this.
