Naruto: Reincarnated As Kurama

Before going to sleep, he thought of changes in Sasuke Uchiha, whose entire clan has been massacred at the start of this year. After participating in guy sensei test that day, Naruto and Sasuke part ways with kisho and went to their homes. By the time Sasuke reached his home, he saw his entire clan massacred by Itachi.

[Author Note: For convenience purposes, I have decided to use this in the final of their third year at the academy.]

"Sasuke kun, does your brother love you before this incident?" Kisho asked with a questioning look on his face.

Sasuke, who heard this question, suddenly shuddered thinking of his brother's affection for him and his brother's view of this world. His brother didn't like fighting at all, but why he massacred his fellow clan members including his parents. To Kisho's question, he nodded his head.

After that incident, naruto and kisho both went to Sasuke at his residence, but what they got is a cold look from Sasuke. Kisho who knew, this will probably lead to the desolation and iciness from Sasuke's behavior started asking about the entire incident. Sasuke who was cold at first still explained all things that brother told him before he left the village.

"Don't you think that there is something fishy about this incident? Suppose we assume that he was a cold-blooded person, he doesn't need to let you live at all right? But why say all those things, that will make you hate him more. Do you think that there is no opponent for him in this world and want to become more powerful by stepping on you when you grew up and become powerful? All these things, if you thought carefully, there is a different story to it and from my point of view, Itachi is likely forced to do this. You need to become more powerful than Itachi, but you need not get consumed by hatred, as this will only lead to grief and suffer when you find the truth. Also, you have to avenge your clansmen, but not by killing Itachi but by killing those who made Itachi do this."

After hearing this, naruto who was also feeling sad for Sasuke have a bit of admiration on his face. Sasuke who was also listening, looked at kisho for a long time, before a crystal clears tears started falling from his eyes.

"I too don't believe it, he doesn't even like to fight at all. He was forced to do this and he doesn't want to kill me and want me to become stronger by kindling the fire of hatred. I will become stronger than Itachi and will make sure to kill all those whoever made Itachi do this."

He cried for some time, while naruto and kisho hold him on their shoulders and later he made his new determination to become stronger.

In the last year of his academy, Sasuke except for naruto and kisho, he started acting even colder than before to all others. He trained way more than before, he asked guy sensei to make him a separate schedule for him. Seeing this naruto also feared falling behind his two friends started training like hell.

They also saw guy sensei training rock lee and others. They sparred with Kisho's group daily, when there are no missions for them and finally, they have improved a lot better than their first time.

Today is the final day of graduation and they have all passed on their written exams and taijutsu test.

Finally, the test for cloning Jutsu came and naruto failed as usual.

kisho already knows the details of naruto's fail, but Sasuke on the other side looked weirdly at naruto before asking kisho.

"Why the hell naruto can't even create a single clone? From the start of the academy, he is been practicing daily and all he can create is a 'jelly naruto'." Sasuke was frustrated by this incident, as he feared that naruto may not be able to graduate with them.

"I think, that it is related to something that I was heard from my father. Don't ask about it for now and also don't worry about his graduation, as he can apply for graduation anytime before teams asserted."

Hearing this Sasuke puzzled by this answer and looked at naruto with an unreadable look.

"Naruto can fight a Chunin level ninja all by himself, if he can't even become a genin, that will be a sight to behold." A rare smile formed on Sasuke lips.

Later after the graduation completed, as expected by kisho, naruto was frustrated and bid farewells to Kisho and Sasuke thinking they might make fun of him.

After naruto went away from them, kisho saw Mizuki trailed naruto along his path. But they knew that Naruto was easily able to deal with this easily and went on their ways.

Something unexpected happened in the last night and kisho started laughing so hard in the early morning after he heard that news from his father.

Last night after naruto went to his house, Mizuki entered his house and made conversation with Naruto. He also listened to the entire things Mizuki told him and finally, he heard about the scroll where naruto can find shadow clone Jutsu can be found.

Last day, after graduation fail, kisho informed naruto to learn shadow clone Jutsu instead of normal clone Jutsu by asking Hokage. Kisho saw naruto have chakra almost as much as half to a Jounin and his chakra also is overbearing in nature, he doesn't have a problem in learning shadow clone Jutsu. But naruto doesn't know how to ask Hokage about this.

Now, he has a perfect chance and he immediately took it. He beat the hell out of Mizuki who told him to steal that scroll and placed him in front of Hokage as an exchange for that technique. Hokage sama also knew that naruto has enough chakra to learn that technique and reluctantly let him learn it.

The next day early in the morning naruto took academy final test again and passed it with multiple shadow clone Jutsu, instead of normal clone Jutsu.

On his house, kisho also asked his father for the shadow clone technique and learned it without any objection.

Three days later, all the recently graduated students are informed to come to the academy for them to sort into teams.

"Are we three going to get separate by this division into teams?" Naruto asked with a worried expression on his face. Sasuke also looked at kisho with a questioning look.

"What are you guys even thinking? we will get surely be in different teams. I and Sasuke are in the top 5 of class and naruto is in tenth ranks as his written exam results are average. There is only a little chance for naruto to get in either of my team or Sasuke team. Even then, what's the problem? We can daily meet in the evening for guy sensei training unless we are out of the village for missions right?"

Hearing this, they finally calmed down and looked at Hokage sama standing with all Jounin level teachers and Iruka sensei.

As usual, all teams are sorted as he expected. Except, Shikamaru was replaced by kisho on his team.

"Shikamaru is the only one that doesn't have a team, where should we add him?" Iruka sensei asked Hokage sama with a slight bow.

"Iruka sensei, let Shikamaru join my team as we have the most useful team members for him to use."

Hearing this Third Hokage looked at the most prodigious Nara member born from the Nara clan with interest.

"Ah!! That's correct Hokage sama. They can form their family combination techniques with Shikamaru, as I don't think that Kisho will do this with them."

Hearing this all the Jounin teachers looked at kisho with an interesting look on their faces. Hokage also nodded his head making a team of four aside from their sensei.

"Team 10 will be assigned with Asuma Sarutobi and team 9 will be assigned with Kurenai Yuhi. Finally, team 7 will be assigned to Kakashi Hatake."

Hearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, saying this Iruka face paled from fear. But he didn't say anything as naruto also improved very greatly and maybe even he can't defeat him on a one on one fight.

Finally, all the students cheered as Hokage announced them as an official genins of Konoha, while their sensei's clapped with happy expressions.
