Chapter Text
From the age of five, Naruto knew he wasn't normal. He saw things normal people couldn't, he spoke to the dead and mystical creatures known only to the supernatural world. As he grew, he learned several things from those that have long since passed. When the academy teachers refused to teach him properly, the ghost of Mito Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju taught Naruto everything they knew.
Ghosts of medics taught Naruto about treating wounds when the villagers beat him and animal spirits helped learn to hide and hunt. Then, it happened, the spirits had been teaching Naruto several arts that aren't easy to master, then one day a mob of villagers charged at Naruto with the intent to kill him. They had him cornered when Hashirama put his foot done [Kid, it's time. Channel me and let's show these idiots the error of their ways.] Naruto looked the spirit in the eyes "are you sure?" Hashirama gave Naruto one of his signature smiles [positive, besides, these people spat on everything I built. It's time to remind them what type of village they live in.]
Naruto nodded before speaking the words "Hashirama! Spirit Form!" Hashirama's spirit turned into a ball of energy with his face giving a cheeky smile, then placed the ball against his chest as he called out "Unity!" Naruto's and Hashirama's spirits merge as one. Naruto's young face matched Hashirama's and he began forming hand signs in rapid speed. The moment the mob reached him, Naruto finished the hand signs, before he used the Jutsu Naruto spoke in a mixture of his and Hashirama's voces "you call me a demon and monster, yet you attack me for no reason. Now you will suffer for your hatred." then he unleashed the attack 'Wood style: Lashing root of the just!'
Roots began to grow rapidly and attack the villagers like lashing whips at high speeds, dealing serious damage. By this time Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, arrived with a squad of Anbu and saw the villagers in their punishment, he turned to Naruto "Naruto, my boy, please spare them. They just fear what they don't understand." When Naruto spoke, it wasn't as the five-year-old boy, it was as the village's first Hokage "Sarutobi, you've clearly grew soft if you've allowed them fiends to attack a young boy. I will stop when they learn. However, this body only has so much chakra, so I will stop for now." Naruto-Hashirama said before stopping the Jutsu. The villages whimpered from the attack, many realized they may have messed up.
Hiruzen looked at Naruto, this wasn't the Naruto he knew, this felt more like he was talking to his former sensei Hashirama. Once the villagers were taken away Hiruzen turned to Naruto "my boy, what happened to you?" Naruto-Hashirama glared at Hiruzen "Hiruzen, I had to teach Naruto just about everything. You've let the village become a shadow of its former self. Fuinjutsu known, out history forgotten, a boy nearly killed and a flimsy law saying not to talk about his burden. You've lost your edge Hiruzen, lost your edge indeed." Hiruzen looked at Naruto for a moment before it clicked "H-Hashirama-Sama!?" Naruto-Hashirama scoffed "yes Hiruzen, and I'm not happy."
For the next few hours, Hashirama used Naruto to give Hiruzen quite the thorough tongue lashing, one of which he took to heart. After that day, everything changed in the leaf village, the civilian council was stripped of their power, villagers that were overly favored were dethroned, Danzo was killed, and the academy was restructured for proper ninja training. This is why Naruto was so angry with what happened.
It's been ten years since that day, and Naruto got significantly stronger, but everyone ignored him for Sasuke Uchiha, the 'prince' of the village. The civilian council continuously tried to spoil him, but Hiruzen shut that down every time. That year Naruto and Sasuke were placed on the same team with a civilian girl named Sakura Haruno. They were to be a solid team, they were not. Sasuke was entitled, believing he was owed everything and expected everyone to give him everything simply because of his name. Sakura was weak, point. Blank. Simple. Yet she acted like she was the strongest Kunoichi the village had ever seen, the only reason she was named Kunoichi of the year was because her mother is on the civilian council and she screeched and screamed at the academy headmaster until he just gave in. As for their sensei, Kakashi Hatake, he was a massive hypocrite, claiming to want to improve teamwork then training the Uchiha behind the backs of the team and ignoring everyone else.
Currently, they were returning from a C-rank turned A-rank mission, Sasuke talking all high and mighty because 'he' defeated the enemy. Sakura swooned, and Kakashi gave Naruto a look that screamed 'agree or you'll be punished'. Naruto pulled out his sword and glared at Kakashi 'I'm not a puppet and won't lie for you.' was what his look said.
When they reported to Hiruzen's office, Sasuke went into a story about how he did all the work and Naruto was completely useless. Hiruzen looked at Kakashi who was nodding in agreement, which he didn't believe at all. Then he looked to Sakura who was fan girling, so she was definitely out. Finally, he looked at Naruto who looked seconds away from killing the Uchiha. "Naruto, would you please tell me the truth about this mission?" Sasuke was about to complain with Sakura and Kakashi, all of which were silenced by Anbu with Kunai knifes to their necks. Naruto explain the 'real' mission and the actions that were taken.
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at Kakashi, then he pulled out a very thick file. "Kakashi, do you have any idea what's in this file?" Kakashi looked at the file, then said proudly, "all the complains about Naruto and he's subpar work around the village." Hiruzen hit Kakashi with a large amount of killing intent. "No Kakashi, in this file is the numerous complains about Sasuke's demands and your hypocrisy. I didn't want to think this was right, but it seems they were right."
Hiruzen's eyes went from one member of the team to another "you won't be dealing with Naruto anymore." Kakashi smirked down his cloth facemask "oh, that's a shame." Kakashi said in faux sadness. "Indeed, in fact you won't be dealing with any of them. You're no longer a Sensei. You're going to be given a psychological exam by Inochi. If he finds anything I don't like... well just pray he doesn't." now Kakashi was sweating bullets, he had plans on using Naruto to prop up Sasuke for as long as possible, this was not good. Before Kakashi could protest, he was taken away by two Anbu.
"As for the rest of you, Sasuke will be given the same psychological exam, you clearly need therapy for your issues." Sasuke didn't even have a chance to register the Hokage's word, he was taken away by an Anbu. Sakura now looked fearful, what would happen to her "as for you miss Haruno, turn in your headband right here and right now. I've seen the records; you were never supposed to graduate as a shinobi. The only reason you did is because your mother screeched until she got her way." Sakura began to cry, despite Kakashi not teaching her much, she did train and learn on her own, she wanted to prove to Sakura she could be a great Kunoichi.
"Sir please, don't make me give up being a Kunoichi, I worked hard for this. I'll do anything, take nothing but D-ranks for a year, become a servant of one of the clans, whatever it takes to prove I'm serious about my career, I'll do it." Hiruzen looked at her, the sincerity in her eyes made him rethink her punishment. "Fine, you can continue as a Kunoichi" Sakura began to wipe her tears and smile "if you can complete a challenge." That got Sakura wondering where he had in mind.
Hiruzen turned to Naruto "Naruto, there's something I was wondering who I'd get to handle because most shinobi are busy. Now I think I've got the perfect person for that." Naruto looked at him with an eyebrow raised "you see, every year Kunoichi from several villages come together and go to classes. Not only do they do normal classes, but also a few ninja classes as well. Normally, I'd have one of the academy teachers teach that class, but they're all busy. So, would you be willing to teach D-class?" Naruto thought about it for a moment before asking "may I teach something specific?" Hiruzen blinked before nodding in agreement. "Then you've got yourself a teacher."
Hiruzen smiled at him, then his face became stern as he looked at Sakura "Sakura Haruno, for the entirety of D-class, you will attend and participate like a normal student. Your mother has no power here." Sakura nodded before she left the office. Once she was gone, Hiruzen turned to Naruto "you're going to teach them the Shaman arts, aren't you." Naruto smirk his normal prankster grin, and Hiruzen just shook his head before handing Naruto files on the kunoichi he'll be teaching.

As Naruto looked over the names, he looked at Hiruzen "old man, you do realize the majority of these women on this list outrank me, right?" Hiruzen chuckled "I'm well aware Naruto." the blonde nodded then had to ask, "I think my eyes aren't working right because it looks like Tsunade of the Sanin is now this list." Naruto said then looked at Hiruzen who looked like he was trying to keep himself from laughing "oh, t-th-that's not a m-mistake. S-s-she t-tried to s-sign up her apprentice for the class, b-but f-forgot a-alone the kunoichi in question can sign u-up." Hiruzen said as he tried to keep his laughter in. Naruto on the other hand had no such restrictions and began rolling on the floor laughing.
The next day, Naruto reported to the academy bright and early and found his classroom so he could setup and make sure he had all the materials for classes. A few minutes later Sakura arrived at class with her mother on her heels. Akari Haruno smirked when she saw Naruto at the teacher seat, she marched over to him and was about to start screeching when Naruto pointed his sword at her throat "Mrs. Haruno, if you're here to start demanding I pass your daughter simply because you're a member of the Civilian Council, then you can leave. She'll earn whatever grade she does, and you can't change that. Also, I'd like to remind you, that the Civilian Council is on extremely thin ice with the sandaime, I wouldn't do anything to make things worse for yourself if I were you." Akari blinked at him for a moment before gripping her teeth and leaving, she wanted to demand that 'demon' obey her, but the boy was right.
Sakura slammed her face on her desk in embarrassment, Naruto glanced at her "I understand that was your mother's actions not your request. However, please understand if she does that again I'll have to report it." Sakura nodded but did rise her head. As the clock came close to Eight A. M. the students began coming into the classroom, once eight came Naruto took roll call, with all his students there he began class in earest.
The class went from Reading, Literature, Math, history, writing, but after all these came a few ninja lessons like Kunai and Shuriken throwing, elemental Chakra conversion, stealth and blending tactics, but the final class was one of Naruto's own design. He brought the entire class to one of the training grounds and looked around "alright, this should be a good place." he turned to his class "okay everyone, this is something I plan on teaching you during class time outside the regular class curriculum."
Anko looked at Kurenai who shrugged, Samui and Yugito looked at each other in interest, Kurotsuchi wondered what a tree hugger could possibly teach her, Tsunade wondered what a member of her cousin clan had to teach. "I'm going to need a volunteer, someone with a wide area wind attack please." Temari stepped up "okay teach, what do you need." Naruto reached into his ninja pouch and pulled out a thin wooden stick with runic carvings on it "one moment please" Naruto said before extending his left arm "Spirit of Rain, Spirit form!" he said then after a few moments he said "into the runic stick" after a moment Naruto examined the stick with a single eye. "Okay, I'm ready. Ms. Temari, please unleash your most powerful wind attack at me."
Temari looked at Naruto like he was crazy, she turned to the rest of the class and just about everyone was just as confused, Sakura was the only one who wasn't as confused, but she was still confused. "You sure about this teach, I could seriously hurt you with one of my Jutsu?" Naruto chuckled slightly "I assure you, I'll be just fine." Temari took that a little personally, so she fully opened her large iron battle fan and unleashed a massive blast of wind.
Naruto looked at the swiftly approaching hurricane force of wind, a lazy smile on his face, Yuugao was about go and get him out of the way, when Naruto lazily swung the stick, and unleashed an ungodly powerful blizzard that easily overpowered Temari's wind and threw her back a few feet. Everyone looked at him in confusion, trying to figure out what the hell just happened "you're all confused" Naruto stated as he looked at his class. "Of course we're confused gaki! What the hell was that just now!?" Anko asked as she looked at the piles of snow laying around. "Please sit down in front of me and watch the snow." the girls formed a semi-circle around Naruto as he began to explain, and said explanation start with Naruto looking down at the stick as an astral construct formed around it, the construct looked like an ice crystal skull with spikes on it.
"What I just did was a shaman technique. The shamanic arts are techniques that can be used by just about anyone, however you have to be Intune with the more spiritual side of Chakra had then physical." the girls looked at Naruto as he continued his lecture "These techniques allow you to communicate with the dead, unify with ghosts from the ancient past, even summon spirits form the spirit realm itself." The kunoichi looked at Naruto as he lectured. Before he could continue, Naruto's wristwatch began to beep "ah, apologies ladies, it would seem class is over for the day." some of the women groaned, things were just getting good and they wanted to hear more.
"Now, now, none of that, come to class early tomorrow and we can begin your Shaman lessons. If your seriously put in the work, you'll be able to do things like this." Naruto then pulled out a wooden flute "Now, Dzo, Spirit form" Naruto said as he held out his left arm, in his hand a green ball of energy formed, the face was unique, it was an elderly face, but the mustache looked like two tree trucks and on top was a tree canopy. "Now, into the wooden flute" Naruto said as he placed the ball onto the flute, it glowed green. Naruto began to play the flute, and as he played, powerful pulses on energy began to flow throughout the training ground and nature itself began to flourish, trees bore fruits they normally won't be able to, flowers went into bloom off of season, and there was a calm that just flooded the area.
The Kunoichi watched everything happen as one thought ran through their heads [what on earth could I do techniques like this is I fully master it?]
