Naruto the tale of the shinobi tamer(discontinued)

2

Naruto ran into the academy, careful to contain his excitement. He could feel Macavity's presence behind him as she walked, completely invisible to passersbys. With her behind him, now he almost didn't notice the glares he got from the villagers. He quickly jogged down the hallway burst into his classroom just as the bell rang. At the front of the room, Iruka and Miyu, who was probably filling in for Mizuki, stood behind a large table that had rows of headbands sitting on it. Iruka noticed Naruto standing at the front of the room and frowned.

"Naruto, you're really starting to cut it close," Iruka warned, Miyu shaking her head at the blonde's antics.

"This is the last day, remember, sensei?" he grinned, folding his arms behind his head.

"YEAH, RIGHT!" yelled a certain pink-haired howler monkey. "LIKE A BAKA LIKE YOU COULD EVER PASS!"

Suddenly, Sakura's head flew forward and her face smashed on the front of the desk.

"Ghost!" Kiba yelped as Akamaru scampered behind him.

"There's no such thing as ghost's, Kiba," Iruka scolded as the Inuzuka boy. "But I must say that this is a strange occurrence."

"IT'S THIS BAKA'S FAULT!" Sakura screeched, almost shattering the windows. "HE'S TRYING TO ACT COOLER THAN SASUKE-KUN!"

"Shut up, forehead," Ino shouted. "Naruto can't do that!"

Naruto was doing his best not to laugh at Macavity's pranks. It was difficult, but he was managing very well.

"Speaking of Naruto," Iruka said with a sly smile as Miyu giggled. "Come on up here and get your headband. You've earned it."

The entire classroom went silent looking at Iruka with disbelief. Naruto cracked a smile as he saw Sasuke looking at him with utter shock. Ah, yes...this was the attention that he had been wanting ever since day one: the day that he outdid Sasuke fair and square in the Shinobi arts.

"Um, sensei?" Choji asked, a bag of chips in his hands. "How come Naruto gets to be a genin before he takes the test?"

"Simple Choji," Miyu said, sweetly, her whip dangling at her hip as she walked out from behind the desk. "Naruto-kun took the test last night and passed both the genin and tamer. He also helped the ANBU apprehend a traitor to the village and Sandaime-sama thought that he deserved to be given his headband and tamer permit."

Whispers broke out all around the room. Naruto? A genin before them? And a tamer? Naruto caught a traitor? No way! The deadlast graduated before all of them? Before Sasuke-kun? Impossible!

"NARUTO-BAKA, GIVE YOUR HEADBAND TO SASUKE-KUN NOW!" Sakura shouted at him. "HE DESERVES IT MORE THAN YOU!"

"I got it fair and square!" he protested, walking up and tying it on around his forehead. "Do I look cool, Iruka-sensei?"

"Yep," Iruka smiled before handing him a key. "Your new Pokegirl is in room thirty-two."

"Wait, a new Pokegirl?" Sasuke asked. "What about the starter?"

"Oh, Naruto-kun already has his starter," Miyu said, handing Naruto another Contract Seal. "Have fun, Naruto-kun."

"Thanks, Miyu-chan," he said with a foxy grin.

"IRUKA-SENSEI, TAKE NARUTO-BAKA'S POKEGIRLS FROM HIM AND GIVE THEM TO SASUKE-KUN! HE NEEDS THEM TO RESTORE HIS CLAN!" Sakura shouted again, her voice reaching new octaves.

With another thud, her face hit the desk again, thankfully knocking her out.

"Troublesome woman," Shikamaru said, looking at Sakura out of the corner of his eye before going back to sleep.
