Breaking Records, I am the Elder Brother

The group went on big with their graffiti plan, enjoying the activity all together.

(They were still called in to clean it up as a part of detention). Naruto was extremely happy becoming a child once again only to enjoy with his peers, unlike before where he would literally divide himself to handle 1000 tasks at the same time each day only to end up exhausted being the Hokage, whereas the other people like Kiba, Chouji and many others would be busy on their own, rarely meeting up outside. Naruto certainly welcomed this change of pace but he still missed his family and all.)

The following four days of academy had different tests. Theory exam, Shruriken and Kunai test, Escaping techniques test and so on…..

But there was one thing different, and it was not some ordinary difference...…

It was LEGENDARY

Besides Sasuke acing every test, Naruto demonstrated far superior abilities which were not completely visible from academy students point of view,

Iruka was surprised, but the other supervising teachers were even more so…..

Naruto's written theory answers had completely surpassed the chuunin level thinking in the questions given, such that even if a jonin was given these tests, one could still differentiate the level of quality these answers were provided with.

The Shuriken and Kunai test was more than just accuracy it also tested the body posture, speed, techniques, reaction time, everything which Naruto did way better than his peers.

Cloning jutsu on the other hand was smashed by Naruto as he had summoned 20 clones and had them transform into all of his classmates from the semester.

These records clearly surpassed all, even Itachi could not match up with Naruto in the theory department in his previous records, though both were evenly matched in physical abilities and other records.

Itachi's only advantage was his age factor and intelligence as he had cleared his academy much earlier.

In the 3rd Hokage's room….

The twin doors burst open as a man shows up kneeling down towards the hokage

"Hokage-sama, Naruto, he..."

"Hmm....Naruto did something again? Is it the usual mischief?"

"No….no…its something bigger....."

The Hokage gets up in shock "Did he UNSEAL ?….."

"No, he just surpassed all the previous academy records in one go..."

" " The Hokage just stood there with a blank look

"That was really unexpected of him….." He smiled as he looked out through the window towards the direction of the academy.

Naruto was done with all his tests, after which he tried to speak to Iruka, but Iruka couldn't bring himself to talk with his most outstanding student of all.

He had a much bigger problem to attend to, the team placement of team is 7 was screwed, the academy could not have two geniuses joining one team, another factor in play was Naruto's previous test results which bore no relation to his current scores whatsoever.

Naruto sat dejected watching the sunset

"Hey Naruto" a man with white hair pops by the side of Naruto

The man was Mizuki-sensei one of the supervising teachers of the exams

"Hello sensei!" Naruto greeted back dejectedly as he thought to how this man had almost got him killed the first time he saw him all those years ago.

"I see that you are sad…." Mizuki tried sympathising

"Iruka sensei did not talk to me at all….." Naruto replied

"Well its probably because he has a lot to deal with…" Mizuki said as he sat down beside Naruto

"Hey Naruto….."

"Hmmm" Naruto raised his head up"

"I think you could surprise Iruka by learning a new technique….." Mizuki avoided Naruto's eyes as he spoke

"And…." Naruto knew that the man would never change, thus he would rather use this opportunity to peruse the 1st Hokage's hidden scroll.

Mizuki as determined by fate told Naruto the direction and Naruto followed.

He went to the spot and started reading through the scroll with his shadow clones by his side, trying to memorise the contents as soon as possible.

Contained within were unsealing formulas and purple formation barrier formula.

Which Naruto memorised as soon as possible.

meanwhile the 3rd Hokage heard of the situation and mobilised all chuunins and special jonin ninjas in search of Naruto.

"Oy Naruto" Iruka showed up first, with an angry face

Naruto started scratching his head with a smile, happy to see Iruka coming out to protect him once again. But this time he would protect this sensei of his right from the beginning.

He pushed Iruka towards the ground as 4 kunai s whizz past where Iruka was previously standing, missing him completely.

Mizuki comes down the tree as he stares in surprise.

"Mizuki!, what are you doing here" Iruka questioned with a disbelief across his face

"Looks like the monster did not unseal himself, huh, well playtime is over demon fox, hand over the scroll" Mizuki asked with a menacing look across his face

"Mizuki!" Iruka shouted trying to interrupt, but he realised it was too late as the word demon fox had already been spurted out.

"Its all right sensei, I already figured out why people started avoiding me…. A long time ago..."

Naruto said as he made his way forward.

"haha, good boy, now give me the scroll..." Mizuki asked shamelessly as he revealed a fitting evil grin.

Naruto smiled in return as he stood in from of Mizuki.

"hu.." And mizuki was sent flying off with an upper cut directly lying on the ground motionlessly

"Iruka sensei, I am sorry that Mizuki fooled me into believing in his words" Naruto said as he stared dejectedly and then raised the scroll in his hand towards Iruka.

"I only had time to learn the Shadow clone jutsu..." Naruto smiled as he said to Iruka.

"Naruto…. Close your eyes for a moment…" Iruka said.

…..

….

….

….

"You can open your eyes now Naruto" Naruto opened his eyes as he felt something familiar on his head, but he could not help but feel the weight bearing on his forehead,

"Congratulations! Naruto, you are one splendid Ninja...."

The 3rd Hokage kept smiling as he watched all the scenes from his orb.

"Naruto has truly surprised me... Now it all depends if you can surprise the man who lives his past... Kakashi, these new flowers shall now blossom upon springs arrival...." The third hokage smiled as he kept his orb away.

The following day was the announcement of academy results, but there was one extremely pissed off boy.

Sasuke stared at Naruto's name at the top of the list while he helplessly watched his name second on the list.

He walked up towards Naruto who was away from everyone else, as he looked him in the eye and asked "What are you playing at? Always goofing off, doing senseless things and now suddenly coming first….."

"Unconvinced are ya?" Naruto grinned at Sasuke.

"Lets have a spar in the training field in the afternoon" Sasuke spoke angrily

"I am not interested in a spar" Naruto worded off in an uninterested manner, which pissed of Sasuke even more

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked almost ready to burst on the spot.

"The loser listens to the winner, and also have to call him the elder brother...." Naruto observed Sasuke with one eye.

"Deal" Sasuke responded instantly

"See you there" Naruto went his merry way annoying Sasuke even more.

Naruto couldn't help but grin continuously as he walked,

"I have always wanted to do this my entire life, its almost as if god has listened to me…"

Naruto walked through the streets grinning like a total idiot scaring almost all the common folk away as he walked towards the training field.

(Bear in mind that Naruto was still wearing the 25kg deadweights around his legs and 10 kg around each arm)

After a few minutes Sasuke had showed up.

Naruto gestured Sasuke to start with the unison sign, but upon noticing no headband on sasuke, he stopped as he gestured towards his head.

"What?" Sasuke angrily inquired

"Wear your protector, or I wont fight you…" Naruto replied

"Why?"

"Because it is a testament to the fact that we are fighting on equal grounds as Leaf Shinobi" Naruto replied.

"ugh…Fine" Sasuke reached into his pocket and tied his new protector around his head.

"Are you ready, now?" Sasuke was getting tired of dealing with the little things.

"Yes" Naruto replied being extremely happy like he was on cloud 9 making Sasuke follow through all his commands without a question.

Naruto grabbed a rock as he tossed it into the air...…

The moment the rock landed

(Boom)

Sasuke followed with a frontal assault easily kicking Naruto away

(poof)

What Sasuke kicked was a clone

Instantly Sasuke was caught from behind

"Shinobi rule no.1 : Don't let your opponents get behind you"

Sasuke was extremely pissed, but something caught his eyes

("Is that the Tiger seal? Is it a fire technique, how does he know…..")

"Konoha secret tai-jutsu technique"

Naruto held his hand seal as he launched it towards Sasuke's rear,

"Thousand years of death!"

Naruto screamed as he launched Sasuke forth

"This bastard!" Sasuke screamed as he angrily turned in mid air performing the seals for his jutsu

"Fire style - Grand Fire Ball Jutsu"

Hoooooooooo (sasuke blew a huge fireball towards Naruto)

At that moment Naruto Snickered,

He jumped into the air instantaneously arriving behind Sasuke

"I just told you, don't let your opponents behind you" Naruto said to Sasuke with a straight face

" Shit, Is this Shadow dance?" Sasuke asked

"Nope!, just a simple DROP KICK!" Naruto laughed as he sent Sasuke down with a kick with such a strong force that Sasuke got embedded to the ground.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I refuse to accept this" Sasuke screamed as Naruto pinned him down.

"Weakness is a choice Sasuke. There are somethings that can only be found through authority" Naruto said in a dejected manner.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked

"You knew your parents, and you know their killer, whereas I do not know my parents and neither their killer" Naruto said

"What does that have to do with me?" Sasuke asked impatiently

"The third Hokage knows, yet he refuses to say, I guess there is a story behind yours too that he is hiding I am afraid…." Naruto said trying to calm down Sasuke

"Are you saying I have no resolve" Sasuke screamed, showing changes in his pupil

"I see, you have awakened your sharingan" Naruto said dejectedly

Sasuke tried moving around but was still pinned to the ground

"That is nothing in front of true strength Sasuke, But that is what I am here to do" Naruto said as he faced Sasuke while pinning him to the ground

"I want us both working together hand in hand while steadily increasing our power and also finding out the truth to our problems, but I need your help" Naruto asked with a friendly look.

"But why? Why someone as strong as you asks my help?" Sasuke asked

"We have been rivals for a long time, and have almost lived the same lifestyle for the past few years" "No one could possibly understand me better than you…." Naruto said as he got up and extended a hand.

"I am counting on you Lil bro" Naruto said with a friendly smile

"Just bro will do, I am still going to challenge you again" Sasuke said as he quietly left.

"Anytime!" Naruto waved back as Sasuke left the field

"I guess its time to start my training, then….."
