God Of The Infinite Paths - Naruto Fanfiction

The Konoha Academy.

Ryu smirked, everything was going according to plan. He had join the Academy at the age of 6, and he was not planning to wait for 6 years before going to shinobi service!

Ryu had already started to think of potential teams he could have, but most people his age weren't really as talented as Ryu, so it was very troublesome. we had Hanabi Hyuuga, the heiress to the Hyuuga Clan, but she was one year older than him.

While Ryu could skip grades, it would be too troublesome, so he wanted to choose 2 prodigies from his class, which he could 'sneakily' increase their potential somehow, who were quite talented.

He was not expecting some super prodigies, just enough to not slow him down. An Uchiha and a Hyuuga would be good, both possessing Dojutsus he did not have because he was in a mortal form... 

Although he technically still could have them, he was still thinking of a reason to come up with to get the Dojutsus.

He wanted to be a prodigy, but not to the point where he would have assassins after him right and left. Graduating two years before the actual graduation age was not that much of a hassle and a problem.

At the moment, Ryu knew 5 Wind Release Jutsus, all C and D Rank, 3 Fire Release Jutsus, All C Rank and 2 Water Release Jutsus, which would make him incredibly talented if revealed to the world.

He was planning in showing his Wood Release, Mokuton if given the chance soon. That would merely speed his plan, and raise his reputation to a level he wanted it to be. Mokuton was only possessed by two people, Hashirama Senju and Yamato, the latter being an Orochimaru experiment, with Hiruzen's permission and Yamato's permission.

Across the years, Naruto and Yuki had become quite powerful, and now were part of Team 7, with Sasuke Uchiha.  The heir to the Uchiha clan was not arrogant, Itachi seemed to have taught him to respect others... mainly?

The so called Uchiha Massacre, which was a plan of Danzo's never happened, due to the fact Minato forbid it, and after a clear overlook of it, Danzo had also shrugged it off, because such an operation would weaken Konohagakure to the point it could be defeated by Kumo or Kiri.

Ryu smiled as he entered Naruto's Mindscape, Yin Kurama waiting for him there,"Is it that time of the year already... I wanted to explore the world a bit more." the half Tailed Beast groaned in annoyance.

Yang Kurama grinned in happiness,"Muahahahha! Finally... This brat is too annoying, he has tried to channel my power way too much... And he keep failing... Yin, as usual here is 1% of my chakra, it should be enough to cover your existence here."

Yang Kurama added as he created a miniature Bijuudama, and Yin Kurama simply ate it,"Mhm, it's more than enough for this year."

The two large creatures looked at Ryu who grinned and preformed the Substitution Jutsu, switching the two Kuramas. His jutsu was different from the average one, it switched two creatures, both alive.

Ryu smiled as his brother neared him,"Ryu, have you been a good boy?" Naruto said as he hugged his brother and threw him in the air playfully. Ryu smiled," Nii-san don't tease me..." 

Naruto laughed," I'm officially a shinobi, Ryu! A shinobi! I'll become a chunin in a flash, and when you graduate, I'll be a jounin!" 

Ryu chuckled and nodded,"Yes,Nii-san you will!" While on his head he was chuckling,'That probably won't happen..'

He was going to become a Genin at age 10 according to his plans, skipping two years, his brother would be 15 by then almost 16, it was impossible for him to reach Jounin with his current training schedule.

Ryu smiled as his brother left the house, heading towards the Training Ground their compound had, with enthusiasm, just after returning from Genin duty. Ryu sighed," Now I have to focus on my plans..."

Kurai from inside him yawned," Have I slept enough? You still are a baby...? Gosh... Grow up faster you munchkin!" Ryu was pissed at the way Kurai addressed him," Don't make me change your form to that of a baby!"

Ryu rolled his eyes, tomorrow was going to be the first day of his Academy years. 

The day passed quickly, and the next day came as quickly as it left. Ryu wore some casual clothes as Kushina kissed his head,"My little munchkin, if you need anything else just tell me right now..." She said with a teary face.

Ryu pouted," I know it Mom...  You don't have to be so serious about this..."

Minato smiled, he was a shadow clone, because he was still busy with paper work even with three Shadow Clones helping his original... Geez.

"Do you best, Ryu. If anyone bullies you... Just like your mother would put it, You are free to send a Rasengan at them." Minato smiled, his calm face made him look really scary when saying that. Ryu sweated, but nodded sweetly.

"Now, we need to send you to the Academy, your siblings could not join us because they are out for a D Rank Mission." Kushina said with a sweet tone as she grabbed her son's hand, and Minato did the same to his other hand.

Konoha Academy

Ryu was everything the academy needed, love the village and help in preserving peace, a mind you can only dream of breaking and he was healthy in both mind and body. He looked at his class's teacher, Iruka Umino, the teacher his brother and sister were taught by.

Ryu noticed the lack of another teacher, Mizuki. He remembered that he had been defeated and sent to jail by his brother, Naruto. It seems he had an odd relationship with Akatsuki, and was hoping to join them by giving them Kurama's Jinchuuriki.

Ryu smirked, that had failed badly, very badly. He looked around his classroom, and found out there were 30 students, making a total of 10 teams available to this class only.

This was going to be quite interesting.

~~

Ultimately I decided there will be two OC members in Ryu's team. Won't mention their names for now, but you probably have an idea from which clans they come from.
