Chapter 1: Innocent Ninja! - Updated

There was a slight breeze in the beautiful warm morning. It was almost completely silent except for the birds singing to signal the rise of the sun. It could be said it was the calm before the storm and -he- could sense it, "Minato~" A calm gentle voice called. The young yellow haired boy was sitting his in back garden in a meditative state and channeling his chakra. Upon hearing the calm gentle voice his eyes widened and sweatdropped the side of his face, he gulped- if his mother chose to use a 'calm and gentle' voice to call him, he -is- in trouble. "Come to your room right now!" She screamed in a frightening manner, causing the birds to breakout from the trees and flock into the distance. Minato solemnly walked back into his house with a gloomy atmosphere around him- he had forgotten to clean his room.

The Namikaze scratched the back of his head in a carefree manner while laughing awkwardly "Don't play innocent with me young boy!" His mother, Misana, raised her fist and slammed it against the top of his head without any hesitation- she was clearly -pissed- off. Minato dropped upon the collision and winced while grasping the new-grown bump, his father taught him to avoid his mother's wrathful attacks however the last time he tried to, he received double the beating- ever since that time, he chose to just take it.

"S-Such strength as always . . ." Minato's father, Kento, sweatdropped.

After a few moments of soothing the pain, Minato picked himself back onto his feet and his lips curved into an innocent smile. "Sorry mother, I was too busy training . . After all, the genin exams are soon." He defended himself hoping to spark a segment of sympathy from his mother. His father Kento also nodded, standing besides Minato and raising his hands in defense of his child- he knew the depths of Misana's anger.

"The genin exams are very important, Misana. This will determine our son's future, you should cut him a little bit of slack . . Please, for me? " Minato's father attempted to calm down his wife which resulted in a failure.

"Hmm? You want to fight too Kento?!" She threatened emitting a frightening atmosphere around her.

Minato sweatdropped and was taken back by his mother pounding his father; straight beating him to death on the floor- blood splattered across his bookshelf. It was a frightening experience however he took this chance to sneak away and avoid collateral damage. He quickly scouted for the nearest exit and it happened to be the window he was besides, after double-checking his mother was still occupied with killing his father, he took the opportunity to leap through the window, which fortunately was open, while grabbing a hold of his scarf along the way.

His mother shifted her gaze around the room realizing it was spotless, the child had cleaned the room without her paying any attention, and then her gaze landed on the window before raising Kento by his collar.

"This is your fault!" She yelled at Kento.

"W-Well . . At-least he cleaned his room . . . ." Kento spoke with swirls as his eyes.

"That was close . . Note to yourself, gotta' thank father." Minato mused as he made his way to the academy with a sigh. He was wearing a simple white suit of clothing with green trimmings and a hood. "Minato?" A familiar voice was heard behind the yellow haired boy. He turned around to confirm the one who called out and it turned out to be one of his best-friends, Mikoto and thus he couldn't help but to give her an innocent heart-warming smile.

"Morning Mikoto!" Minato chimed.

Mikoto rolled her eyes at the innocent boy, he never ceased to amaze her; she could never see the child becoming a ninja or cutting down a shinobi without hesitation. It was impossible for such an innocent boy to become a ninja, but it was still cute. "Want to walk to the academy together?" She asked the boy in her natural calm tone. Minato saw no reason to decline as it was his destination point.

As they arrived, they caught sight of a massive group of students gathered in a circle both cheering and booing- it was clear trouble had erupted. Minato gave a concerned look towards Mikoto who responded with a shrug. So they both advanced forward pushing past the group of children to get a closer look at the situation and-

Oh my.

Their eyes widened.

"You're always making fun of the Uchiha clan! You'll pay!" A spiky black haired boy attempted to throw a punch at the white-eyed kid but was swiftly avoided and countered with a devastating palm to the male's chest sending him flying back and crash landing in front of a few class-mates.

"Is that all you have, Fugaku? What a joke." He taunted with a smirk while getting into a stance and ignoring the cheering of the crowd.

"Get him Raizek! You're the strongest Hyuuga!"

"Don't give up Fugaku, you can beat him!"

"Uchiha are no match for the Hyuugas', isn't that obvious to Fugaku?"

Minato shivered as he felt the furious aura Mikoto was emitting. If there was one thing Mikoto -despised- it was a fellow clan member showing weakness, it was a mockery to her pride. At this, Minato decided to take action first- although it was a fair fight between two, he couldn't just stand and watch his other best-friend get beaten to a pulp "Stop it!" He yelled walking in-front of Fugaku and extended his hands outwards in a protective manner. "You've done enough, leave him alone . ." Fugaku frowned at this, he was disgraced.

"What's this? A weakling defending a weakling? I see . . Of course, the weak band together thinking they have a chance against the strong." The Hyuuga laughed mockingly. Minato frowned, he wasn't a weakling . . He was just born . . innocent.

"I suggest you back off Raizek . . ." Mikoto decided to butt in at this point, glaring daggers at the Hyuuga.

Raizek crossed his arms before turning around to make his leave. "Hmph, all you of the Uchiha clan are pathetic, I'll give you a warning . ." He turned and revealed his devilish smirk. "Keep a distance from me." He made a dark chuckle before walking off. After a few moments of taking in the situation, Minato exhaled before turning and giving his most fabled heart-warming smile, he extended his hand towards Fugaku offering help. The Uchiha slapped Minato's hand out of the way and picked himself up.

"You shouldn't have helped!" He yelled before storming off and leaving Minato with a blank expression on his face. Many thoughts came into his mind, did he do something wrong? Was he not meant to help Fugaku? Or maybe he was angry at the whole situation. Minato just shrugged it off before walking off to class with Mikoto following shortly after.

The class room was filled with chatting, mostly about the previous events. The yellow haired boy was simply reading a book, waiting for his teacher's arrival. His eyes observed his surroundings before landing on Raizek who was a few rows infront of him facing forward. "I wonder, if he has a problem with the Uchiha Clan." Minato pondered, and before he knew it- he came to the realization that Raizek was staring straight back at him. . And then . . . . It started . . The staring contest. Minato was the type of guy to play the game but he wanted to understand the boy . . But . . . He felt himself crumble at Raizek's willpower, Minato looked away sharply and returned to reading his book. Raizek smirked in satisfaction, he won the staring contest against supposed weakling.

"Okay, Okay . . Quiet down kids." The teacher finally arrived late. The yellow haired boy quickly closed his book and placed it back into his ninja pouch. The teacher watched the class settle down into their own seats before paying attention to him. His eyes scouted around observing each student individually, he could tell that Fugaku wasn't in the best of shapes and Raizek seemed unusually sadistic. "I need to start paying attention to my class more to stop situation like these happening." The teacher sighed. He then folded his arms to his chest with a smile, "Today we have a new student . . ." He commented and motioned towards the door. The door opened as everyone was excited to see their new classmate . . Well most people were. A young girl walked in with long red hair, she had a small tint of red on her face indicating her embarrassment and nerves acting up.

Everyone began whispering upon her entrance which got the new student even more nervous. "M-Maybe . . . I shouldn't have come." She thought as she noticed the class's reaction, but she shook the thought out of her head- she decided to make a good impression. She wasn't going to let some kids make her nervous, after all, she was a year older and presumably stronger than the majority of them.

"Her name is-" The teacher was cut off.

"Kushina Uzumkai ya'know!" She shouted . . . Forget that yelled . . . . No- screamed . . Yeah . . She screamed. It was too late, she screamed already. She covered her mouth with her hands in embarrassment and observed their reaction. The majority of them were taken back for a few moments and the room fell silent before stifles of laughter were heard.

Then. Burst.

"Did you hear her scream?!" One bursted into laughter.

"Look at her hair color, it sucks." Another one laughed.

Even Raizek at one point had a grin on his face. Minato just frowned at the lack of respect shown to the new student, he actually thought the red hair looked good on her. He turned to his left upon feeling a pair of eyes digging into him, it was Mikoto . . She was sitting next to him, was she there from the start? Minato tilted his head as if to ask 'What's up with everyone's reaction?" and to this, Mikoto shrugged before returning her gaze to redhead.

"Be quiet all of you!" The teacher yelled making sure they felt the killing intent in his voice. "Sorry Kushina, my class is not proper trained yet." He informed before glaring back at the students. "Would you like to take a seat?" He asked. Kushina simply nodded walking up to take a seat besides Raizek, the Uzumaki felt a shiver down her spine upon looking into Raizek's pure white eyes.

"Let me remind you all, the Genin exams are in three weeks. I don't know what you will be tested on but make sure you train all your jutsu." The teacher said as he began the register. Minato stared at the red hair, it was amazingly beautiful to him . . It seemed like academy will become more interesting.
