Naruto stood looking at his mirror, he stood at 5'3, his hair was quite long it went to around his nose and still wore those same green goggles.
"Hmm, looks like I grew to 5'3 with all the training I did these past years, the og Naruto was only 4'9".
Naruto thanked he wasn't that short as even in his previous life he was 6'1.
"Today is graduation, since I know I'll pass, then it's best I prepare to not slip up in Kakashi's presence".
He brushed his teeth as he walked out of the door, he couldn't let his clone go the graduation as it was too dangerous since the Hokage would be there.
Arriving at the gate, it was rather crowded due to the excitement of the parents and children, seeing Naruto the occasion dumbed down but as he disappeared it was lively again.
Entering the academy, he greeted the teachers each with a smile, over the years the learned to not completely hate Naruto, so the teachers were able to give him smiles back.
Meeting in the graduation field, all sorts of voices could be heard. Sakura stood with Hinata and Ino as they spoke excitedly although Hinata was still as shy as ever.
Naruto walked onto the field as he looked around, there was a stand at the centre of the field, 'that should be where the Hokage will give his will of crap speech' Naruto thought to Kurama, Kurama laughed uncontrollably.
Sakura seeing Naruto walked up to him as she said "hey Naruto, congratulations on graduating ".
"We haven't graduated yet, remember we have a test".
"Yeah I know, anyways come say hi to Ino and Hinata".
"… sure" Naruto then approached Ino as he said "hi Ino, congratulations on graduating" he had a slight smile, Ino smiled as she said "thank you Naruto".
Over the years Naruto 'mild' down and spoke abit more with them, although he never apologised for the incident.
As Naruto continued to speak to the rest of them as they greeted, Shikamaru also gave him a hug as he laughed.
"Ahem, hello everyone and thank you for coming to the graduation", Hiruzen said as he wore his Hokage hat.
"Now all that is left is for the students to be able to do the clone jutsu and also pass the second phase".
The crowd cheered and then Hiruzen announced for the instructors to come out and supervise the test.
Soon people started failing but a majority passed as they had practiced for this exam.
"Yesss!", lots of kid shouted as they knew had passed the first phase.
One instructor watched over Naruto's group and seeing Naruto pass he moved on throughout the group and only two people failed.
Hiruzen was specifically paying attention to Naruto, and seeing him pass he smiled.
After Naruto and his friends passed, they moved onto the next test, arriving there they were assigned to a jonin.
Naruto was put up against a instructor.
"Put up the seal of opposition" the supervisor said, Naruto and the instructor complied.
'Let's see how strong this kid is'.
Naruto then dashed as he punched towards the instructors face, the instructor scoffed as he dodged and sent a punch to Naruto's rib.
Naruto foreseeing this grabbed the punch with his left hand as he flipped over the instructor kicking him in the back sending him skidding a few metres.
'This kid is pretty strong! And his battle sense is incredible, he was able to think of a counter that quickly'.
The instructor then got more serious as he threw punches and kicks at Naruto, Naruto connected with each punch as it was nothing to him.
And quickly swept the floor, however the jonin jumped and sent a flying knee to his face, 'if this makes contact it'll break my nose', Naruto then palmed the knee as he was sent flying into the tree.
But before he made contact he flipped and landed, without delay he dashed at the instructor.
'Oh his speed went up a notch, his a rather quick person', Naruto then kick swept in midair but it missed as the jonin backed away, however Naruto smiled as this was the result he wanted.
He then flipped in midair as he landed an axe kick straight to the shoulder of the jonin.
"Ughh!", the instructor was caught off guard as he didn't expect Naruto to attack from that angle.
Hiruzen watched as he had a deadpan expression whilst smoking his pipe, 'he really is a genius when it comes to fighting'.
Naruto's classmates watched on with awe, Sasuke on the sideline was grinding his teeth together as Naruto was still stronger than him.
Naruto then smiled as he tried to test the boundaries of their tolerance, so before the instructor could recover, Naruto sent a kick to the top of his head connecting sweetly.
The instructor felt embarrassed, although he was holding back, this kid shouldn't be able to hurt him even slightly.
So his anger was sparked as he punched out with fast pace, feeling the slight wind coming from his punch Naruto knew that he had fallen for his trap.
The surrounding instructors realised the instructors was pissed off from being embarrassed that he was about to hurt Naruto so they stepped in.
Hiruzen watching stop smoking his pipe as he frowned, on the other side Danzo was also watching the battle as he wondered when to pull Naruto into the Root.
Naruto moved his head to the side whilst smiling and thought 'now that you have attacked me, don't mind my retaliation!'.
Naruto then clenched his right fist as he sent a right hook to the instructors jaw with half of his strength, it broke his jaw.
The surrounding crowd seeing this gasped, with Hiruzen narrowing his eyes along with Danzo smiling.
"Ehh, so sorry instructor-san you frightened me that I subconsciously sent all my power to your face".
'Was that a fluke? He just shattered the jaw of a jonin? Even if the jonin was not fighting with the intention to hurt him, that last punch although was still held back was thrown to hurt Naruto'.
'From my prospective it felt like an instinctual punch and he didn't plan for it, hmm that's interesting, atleast he doesn't have the strength or luck to do that again'.
Danzo watching also thought the same thing as the punch indeed looked like an instinctual hit with no prior planning, so his initial excitement dulled down.
Naruto felt Hiruzen's gaze and knew it had worked, smiling he continued to apologise to the instructor, the instructor also apologised and said it was all his fault.
After his fight, the rest also fought with them passing, they all shouted and laughed, as there always is a winning side, there's a side with loses.
The kids that failed cried as their parent's comforted them.
Naruto walked up to his friends as he congratulated them.
"Guys well done for becoming genins".
"You too Naruto, now we can go on mission and save people".
"Yep, I can't wait", wait they didn't know was that sentence had a double meaning.
After the celebrations Hiruzen once again came up onto the stand as he gave a will of fire speech once more.
Finishing up the speech Hiruzen then said "congratulations to those who passed you are now are official Genins of Konoha!".
Then the instructors walked around as they handed the kids their headbands, receiving his, Naruto smiled as he looked at it.
Hiruzen seeing this had less reservations on Naruto.
Naruto then walked away, but before leaving he waved goodbye to his friends and walked home.
'HAHAHA, now this is where the fun starts'.
