naruto:Redive!

We see a boy dressed in an orange jumpsuit sprinting through a crowd. "Damn, I wouldn't have painted the Hokage mountain if I knew these chunin would be chasing me halfway across the village," Naruto Uzumaki thought to himself. He had gotten himself in quite the situation. He had thought it would be a good idea to paint the Hokage mountain to show his excellent handwriting to those stuck-up villagers who worked at the library, who wouldn't let him check out any books on Funjitsu.

"Oh yeah, he showed them alright, but in the process, he got himself caught in a high-speed chase with these stupid chunin with 10-foot sticks up their asses. By the rate he was going, he was surely gonna lose them. But right as he thought he was home free, a man with a scar across his nose and wearing standard chunin attire caught him just as he was making a break to the direction of his apartment. This man's name was Iruka Umino, Naruto's teacher, and one of the few people in the village who didn't hate his guts.

"NARUTO!!! You've done it this time. Not only have you desecrated the Hokage mountain, but you also tried to run from 7 chunin instead of fessing up to your mistake." 

"Oh come on, Iruka-sensei, it was just a little prank. Blame those dumb villagers who work at the library. It's good payback, shows them not to mess with me."

Iruka mentally sighed. Naruto was known for pranks like this. The boy had earned the title of the village pariah because of it.

"Naruto, you can't mark up the faces on the Hokage mountain just because some villagers pissed you off. And besides, you have better things to be focusing on, such as your graduation exam. This is your 3rd time taking it."

Naruto had taken the graduation exams 2 times already. He thought if he graduated earlier, he could prove that he was gonna be Hokage and show everyone that he was someone worth paying attention to. But damn, every time he tried forming a bunshin(clone jitsu) it would just go all wack trying to compress his chakra and then control it was especially hard for him.

"I know, Iruka-sensei. It's just the bunshin(clone jitsu) always stops me from passing the exam."

well if you have better chakra control than you do you wouldn't have that problem now, would you?

I hate when he's right naruto thought naruto had always struggled with chakra control due to the sheer amount he possessed trying to form a bunshin(clone jitsu) was like trying to fill a lake in a jar it was danm near impossible 

it's why his bunshin(clone jitsu) always came out looking like half-dead corpses 

and jitsu was even his specialty he was much more a a taijutsu type of guy he would much rather spend time beating the living hell out of someone with his fist than weaving hand signs which took forever 

An: did you know Naruto was originally supposed to be a taijutsu specialist but he ended up being a ninjitsu specialist just something to think about wink wink cough cough 

Naruto, if you spent more time training your chakra control and less time running around the village doing your so-called pranks, maybe you would have passed one of your exams by now," Iruka sighed. "Come on, Naruto. I'll treat you to some ramen at this." Naruto's face brightened, which made Iruka smile.

After Naruto had gotten ramen from his favorite stall, he contemplated how he was going to pass the exam coming up in a few days. He knew practicing the bunshin(clone jitsu) was useless at this point; he only had one option.

"HOKAGE GIGI, PLEASE GIVE ME A JUTSU THAT WILL HELP ME PASS THE GRADUATION EXAM!" Naruto had run halfway across the village, waited about 30 minutes until the Hokage was available, and then proceeded to beg and grovel on the floor for a jutsu that would help him pass the graduation exam.

The man with gray hair, on the shorter side due to his age, and an aura that demanded respect, was no other than the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He was currently watching his sergeant grandson beg and grovel on the floor for a jutsu to help him pass the shinobi academy graduation exams.

Hiruzen sighed before saying, "Why would I do that, Naruto? We both know as the Hokage of the village, I can't favor anyone in particular." Naruto picked himself off the ground and with a smug face said, "I'll expose what you use that crystal ball of yours for to the kunoichi of the village. I'm sure they wouldn't take kindly to their resident Hokage, the so-called god of shinobi, being a peeping tom."

"You wouldn't," Hiruzen said with a frightened look.

"Oh, I would," Naruto said with a determined look.

"Fine, Hiruzen said with a defeated look. Just never mention that to anyone." Naruto had a triumphant look on his face. "You got it, Gigi. Just give me a jutsu to help me pass the exams, and I won't tell a soul unless I need to blackmail you again," Naruto thought inwardly. "Anyway, Gigi, what's the jutsu you're gonna give me?"

There are a few jutsu that I have in mind, but this one is forbidden. If used incorrectly, it could even kill or seriously harm the user. Naruto's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he heard about the danger of the jutsu. It is called the "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" (Shadow Clone Jutsu).

Wait, Kage Bunshin? As in "shadow clone"? But clones don't cast shadows," Naruto said with a hint of confusion. "That's what makes this jutsu so powerful. It creates an exact copy of the user."

"With all powerful things, there are the good and the bad. They have very low durability, to the point where one good hit expels them, transferring the remaining chakra and any new experiences they learned back to the caster of the jutsu," Hiruzen explained."With all powerful things, there are the good and the bad. They have very low durability, to the point where one good hit expels them, transferring the remaining chakra and any new experiences they learned back to the caster of the jutsu," Hiruzen explained. 

"Hey Gigi, why are you waiting? Teach me the jutsu!" Naruto said with an excited tone. Hiruzen mentally sighed at Naruto's impatience.

"Fine, Naruto, but be gracious. This is an A-class jutsu. Many would kill for it, and some even have."

Naruto quickly humbled himself as he prepared to learn the jutsu. Hiruzen walked out of his office for a brief moment to retrieve the forbidden scroll of seals, a scroll that contained some of the most powerful Jutsu in all of Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire). thousand of shinobi have tried and failed to steal the scroll for their benefit Hiruzen retrieved the scroll and began teaching Naruto the basics and inner workings of the jutsu. He soon noticed that Naruto wasn't the idiot many would believe him to be, as he quickly started to pick up the jutsu in almost record time. It seems he inherited talent from both his father and mother after all," Hiruzen thought as he witnessed Naruto make his first shadow clone with a proud smile. 

 Time skip 3 days 

Naruto steeled himself as today was the day of the graduation exam. He had practiced the super cool jutsu Hokage Gigi had given him. As he got ready to partake in the academy exams, he said to himself, "I can do this. I'm gonna be the best Hokage there ever was and prove everyone wrong." He thought with a smile as he set off to start his path to being Hokage. 

As Naruto arrived at the classroom where the graduation exams were set to take place, he looked around and saw Dog Breath Kiba Inuzuka, Bug Boy Shino Aburame, the shy girl Hinata Hyuga, Fangirl 1 Sakura Haruno, and Fangirl 2 Ino Yamanaka. He also saw Fatboy Choji Akimichi, lazy bastard Shikamaru Nara, and finally, emo duckbutt Sasuke Uchiha. 

"Alright class, settle down," said Iruka. "Today, many of you will begin your journey as shinobi of Konohagakure (Village Hidden in the Leaves). You will go on to make our village proud. The practical exam consists of three major jutsu: the Bunshin Jutsu, the Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement), and finally the Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu)."

Sure, here's the revised text:

Performing these three jutsus successfully will grant you your forehead protector, making you an official shinobi of Konohagakure. Naruto watched as one by one his classmates went up and performed the three basic academy jutsus. Some passed, some failed, and then it was finally his turn. With a confident pep in his step, he walked up to the front of the classroom, ready to take the test that would make or break his career as a shinobi.

Naruto took a deep breath and steeled his resolve. He performed the henge, turning into Iruka, and then he performed the Kawarimi by replacing himself with a chair. Then came the moment of truth.

Iruka sighed, ready to reassure Naruto that he would get it next time. As it was time to perform the bunshin, to his surprise, as Naruto finished weaving a hand sign that was not of the bunshin, a puff of smoke obscured his vision.

He quickly blinked and waved away the smoke. As he did, he saw an exact copy of Naruto. Iruka blinked two more times, not believing his eyes. There was a half-dead corpse on the ground. It was almost surreal to see. With a proud smile, Naruto Uzumaki said, "You pass. You are now a proud shinobi of Konohagakure," Iruka exclaimed with a very proud smile spread across his face.
