Uzumaki-Namikaze Prodigy: Book 1

Chapter 10

A/N: The poll from last chapter is still ongoing, and I'm going to try and answer some of the questions revolving Naruto's older siblings. If it is still confusing, please tell me. I am trying to get better at avoiding plot holes and inconsistencies. 

Chapter 10 - Time skip: Genin exams 

It has been four years since the kidnapping and Danzo has been quiet. The Uzumaki Clan and the Nara Clan has been keeping a close eye on Danzo, waiting for the moment to catch him; however, the war hawk was buying his time. It has also been a year since Shiro, Yuri, and Sakura's elder brother, Kensuke graduated out of the Academy, being one of the new genins along with Team 9 and Team 5. 

Shiro and Yuri were walking through the village listening to the whispers about their younger brother, Naruto. They were told when growing up that Naruto was not the demon, and that their mother was in the same boat as him when she was growing up. At first they were understanding, and protected Naruto from the civilians; however, one night it all changed. 

It was the night of Naruto's fourth birthday and ninjas with blank masks hiding their faces attacked the siblings when they were heading home. Shiro and Yuri were trying to get Naruto away; however, the ninjas being older and more experienced than two academy students quickly bested them. However, the twins' attempt bought enough time for Minato and Arashi to arrive. The ninjas were quickly arrested and the twins, were praised; however, the next morning, they were scorned by the civilians. 

"Why did you protect that demon?"

"Honestly that demon is only alive because of his father."

After protecting their younger brother, the twins, once hailed as the children of the Yondaime, are now seen as outcasts, just for protecting their family. This stress from the civilians for Shiro and Yuri, who were 6 at the time, was just too much, and on top of that, they noticed that Naruto was developing quicker than them, which made them to become extremely jealous of their younger brother. They were told by their parents and their grandfather that everyone is unique, and that they will grow; however, the twins just believed that because Naruto had the Kyuubi in his gut, he deserved more training than them, not realizing that if Naruto does not control his chakra, it may hurt the people around him. Regardless of everything Kushina and Minato has told to Shiro and Yuri, they don't seem to ever understand, nor do they seem to try. After the twins begin to ignore Naruto, they realized the civilians started to treat them better, so from then they just went with it.

Although Minato and Kushina knew that the civilians have influenced Shiro and Yuri to shun Naruto, they could not do anything about it. Minato, being the Fourth Hokage could not be seen as using his power for only his family, and Kushina being Dragon, the ANBU Commander, could not harm the civilians either. Minato tried to pass laws to prevent the civilians from harming Naruto, just for it to be vetoed by the civilian council and the three elders, Danzo, Homura, and Koharu. Minato realized that with just the shinobi council on his side, he could not pass any laws protecting his son, in dismay, he had Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Itachi by Naruto's side as much as possible.

Naruto is now twelve years old and is more than ready to become a Genin. He could not wait to get out of the civilian council's command, since when he becomes a ninja, the only people he will have to listen to is his father and everyone else in the ninja chain that is above him. 

"Hey Shika, Ino, Choji. You guys ready?"

Shikamaru responded, "Hey Naruto, yeah I'm ready. Maybe I can get that troublesome woman off my back."

Choji was munching on chips and Ino was trying to fight Sakura for Sasuke's affection. 

Naruto thought, "I really hope that my team doesn't have any fangirls in them."
