AN: Hey everyone thanks for reading. In this story, Naruto has Saitama's (One-Punch Man!) powers. Let's see how everything changes if Naruto was OP from the beginning.
Deep within the forests of the land of fire. There sat a village that was the home to some of the most dangerous people on the planet. Hiruzen Sarutobi, otherwise known as 'The Professor' and 'The God of Shinobi'.
Kakashi Hatake, also known as 'The copy-cat Ninja', Might Gai, Known as 'Beautiful Green Beast'. And many others were the people that called this village home. Not counting all of the 'Clans' That called it home. It also has one of the worlds largest militaries. But you aren't here to hear about them. You're here to hear my story.
My name is Naruto Uzumaki, also known as "The Leaf's, 'number-one knuckleheaded Ninja' and also another title that is... A little more well known. I am the 'One-Punch Ninja' And this is my Story.
Night-time In Konoha
Five-year-old Naruto Uzumaki was running down a crowded street. Nearly everyone in the village was out tonight to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the death of the Kyuubi. As well as to mourn the loss of their previous leader 'The Fourth Hokage'. And though Hiruzen had retaken the mantle of Hokage. It wasn't enough to drown out their grief.
Little Naruto, was one of the many kids whose parents had died during the Kyuubi's rampage. And he had been an orphan for as long as he could remember. Though the Hokage tried to help out where he could. It could never replace Naruto's longing for a home.
The villagers ignored him. They treated him as if he was cursed... Destined to be forgotten. So Naruto would play pranks on them to try and get their attention. But all that did was drive them further away.
We now join Naruto as he was running away from a group of angry villagers that had recently been pranked.
"Get back here, you brat!" A man yelled. His clothes dyed a bright orange from Naruto's most recent 'Prank'.
*Laughs* "Nuh-uh, You won't catch me!" Naruto yelled back as he continued mad dash. Nearly knocking a few people over in his haste to get away. And those he didn't knock over, the mob did.
"Whoops, *Giggle* Sorry lady!" He called out to a purple haired woman he had almost knocked over.
"Watch it, Brat!" she yelled. "Almost made me drop my dango...*Bump*." The women, Anko Mitarashi. Had just taken a bite of her Dango stick when the crowd reached her and accidentally knocked the Dango out of her hand as they ran by.
Everything almost seemed to slow down for Anko as she watched her precious Dango fall to the ground.
"You...you...YOU BASTARDS!" she roared as she took off after the mob.
As Anko was a Chunin. (And quite a good Ninja.) She quickly caught up to the mob and proceeded to knock most of them unconscious. She then spent an additional thirty minutes lecturing them on the glory that was Dango and why they should never waste a single bite. Even referring to them as the 'food of the Gods'. (Though an echoed voice replied that Ramen was the food of the Gods. She decided to ignore that.)
Naruto managed to get away from the mob after a majority of them had been KO'd by Anko. He dove inside an alleyway that he knew to lead back to the orphanage. One of the Perks of being a 'Street rat'. (As the villagers called him sometimes.) Was that he knew most of the streets like the back of his hand.
A useful thing to know when you're planning to run away from a mob of people you just pranked.
Naruto was just exiting the alleyway. (After making sure that no one was still chasing him, of course.) When he spotted two ninja walking down the empty street. One of them had gravity defying silver hair, And was reading an orange book.
The other had a Bowl-cut hair style and the bushiest eyebrows Naruto had ever seen. (He was also wearing a skin tight jumpsuit... But Naruto tried his best not to look at it.)
"I wonder where they're going? The festival is in the other direction." Naruto quietly said to himself. (Although, 'Quietly' for Naruto was how an average person normally spoke.)
"I'm gonna follow em'" He once again spoke out loud.
"He knows we can hear him, Right?" The silver haired one asked the other.
"Ah, the springtime of youth is strong in the little one. What's the harm in letting him follow us, Kakashi?" The Bowl-cut responded
*sigh* "None at all." Kakashi replied.
*Stomps foot* "Curse you Kakashi and your cool attitude!" He yelled
"Hmm? Did you say something, Gai?"
"Gah! That's it, I'm winning this time for sure!"
"If you say so."
The two continued to bicker until they reached an empty training ground.
"Same as usual, Gai?" Kakashi asked. Putting his book away as he did.
"Normally I wouldn't object to our usual contest... But, how about this time. We give our little follower a show, Hmm?" Gai asked as he was taking off his weighted vest and Arm/Leg bands.
"What did you have in mind?"
"Sparring?"
*sigh* "Sparring it is then."
The two of them prepared themselves for their contest to begin. Kakashi raising his headband while Gai did his stretches. They were waiting for the signal to begin, that signal being a leaf that was going to touch the ground... "Now!"
They disappeared in a burst of speed, Only reappearing when they made contact with each other. Naruto was attempting to watch
Naruto was attempting to watch, But he could only see them vanishing only to appear in another place a second later as loud booms shook the landscape.
*Boom* Punch blocked* Crash* Kick dodged * Slam* a new crater being formed by a kick Kakashi dodged.
"Whoa!" Naruto had never seen a real Ninja fight before. Sure, he had seen plenty of the Chunin sparring. (Although he may have been focused on pranking them at the time.) But they were never this intense.
These two were changing the landscape with their fight. (Mostly Gai, Though Kakashi had one or two craters as well.)
Naruto had always wanted to be a Powerful Ninja. He wanted to be looked up to. He wanted to be Praised. But most importantly... He didn't want to be Forgotten.
That's why he signed up for the Ninja Academy. (That was starting next month.) He wanted to be like these two 'Ninja'. He thought with stars in his eyes as he day-dreamed about being an all powerful Ninja. A ninja so strong he could end every fight... With a single Punch.
"Enjoying the show?" Someone said from behind him.
"AH!" Naruto screamed. His body tipping forward until he landed onto his face from the fright.
"Aren't you a loud one?" Kakashi asked while picking his ear. He was hoping the kid didn't cause him to go deaf.
"But.. But... How! You're over there fighting that guy!?" Naruto responded, loudly.
"I'm also over here. What's your point?"
"How are you in two places at once? Can you teach me!? Please!?" Naruto yells. The stars were back in his eyes from seeing this ninja do what he thought was 'Impossible'.
"Aren't you a bit young to be trying to learn Justu, Kid? What're you like, three?"
"Hey! I'm five-years old Today!"
"Oh? Happy Birthday then." The silver Ninja replied as he pulled out his book again and began to read. Though he lowered it once he noticed how quiet the kid was being.
He looked down to see the kid smiling while holding the hem of his shirt.
"What?"
"You told me Happy Birthday." The kid responded. Now much quieter than he was before.
Kakashi's eyebrow quirked upwards. "And? You act like no one has ever told you happy birthday before?"
"Just Jiji."
Kakashi was confused for a few seconds... Until he realized what the kid meant.
"Oh... I'm sorry."
That caused Naruto's smile to widen further.
"It's ok! Because one day, I'm going to be the worlds Strongest Ninja.!" he started out with a yell, before in a much quieter voice he added.
"That way... I'll never be forgotten again." Kakashi felt bad for the kid. He really did.
"Is that all you want?"
"Hmm?"
"Is the only reason you want to be strong just for the strength itself, or is there another reason?"
Naruto thought about it for a few seconds. A look of concentration on his face.
"No."
"No?"
"I also want to protect the ones I care about. That's also why I want to be strong. I... I never knew my parents."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's ok... I have other people that are important to me, Now!" Naruto's happiness was starting to come back.
"Oh? Like who?"
"There's Old man Ichiraku and His Daughter Ayame." Naruto listed off on his fingers.
"Then there's Jiji and... That girl with the Pretty eyes!" He finished His smile now fully back.
"Girl with the pretty eyes, Huh? I wonder who he's talking about?"
"It sounds like you have a lot of people to protect. You better get strong then."
"I will! When I join the Academy next month. I'm going to train until I'm the strongest there is!"
"A Noble goal my young Friend!" Gai yelled from directly behind Naruto. Causing him to fall over again.
"Will you quit that!" Naruto Complained.
"Oh ho, Sorry about that young man! I was just so excited to hear your reply that I could not contain myself."
"Why?"
"Well, how about I give you some advice to help you out on your journey?"
"Really!? What is it? Are you going to teach me a really awesome Jutsu!?" Naruto quickly replied
"Nope!" Naruto fell on his face from the quick answer.
"I'm going to teach you something Much Better!" That perked him back up.
Naruto wondered what it was going to be. Chakra Exercises, A book on how to make an all powerful Jutsu. Or maybe he was going to show him how to do that cool 'Being in two places at once thing."
"What is it? Tell me, Please!" Naruto yelled as he nodded his head in excitement.
"I'm going to teach you how to..."
"Uh huh! What?!"
"Exercise!" Gai happily responded. Naruto face planted again from the answer he was given.
"Fine! if you didn't want to help me. You should have just said so!" Naruto yelled. He turned to storm off.
"Was your resolve really so weak?" He heard Kakashi ask.
"My resolve is not weak!"
"Then why do you walk away when the most prominent Taijutsu expert in Konoha is trying to teach you something?"
Was this Bushy Brow guy really that good? Naruto thought for a moment before heading back to his place in front of Gai.
"Okay, I'll learn what you have to teach me." He said.
"Excellent! Follow me!" Gai yelled. He pulled Naruto along as he started walking back to the center of the now crater filled training field.
"Now, My young friend. I am going to teach you how to get much stronger and to get you ready for your Academy years. Are you Ready?!"
"Yes, Sir!" Naruto eagerly responded.
Neither Naruto nor Gai, noticed when Kakashi left. So engrossed in the lesson as they were.
From that night until Early the next morning. Gai had Naruto doing Push-ups, Sit-Ups, Squats And running around the training field. Every time he thought Naruto had reached his limit. The kid would stand back up after only a few minutes rest, Eager to go again.
When Gai finally did leave the next morning. He gave Naruto this last piece of advice.
"Remember my young friend. Do these exercises as often as you can, Increasing the reps as you get older. Wouldn't want you to Injure yourself, Now would we?"
"No, Gai Sensei!"
"Great! I'll see you around then Young man. I have to report to the Hokage now, Bye-Bye!" Gai yelled before vanishing in a whirlwind of leaves.
"So cool!" Naruto said with stars in his eyes. He stood there for a few seconds before he decided to do another set of his exercises.
That one set would turn into another... then another... and another. Before Naruto would finally make his way home to go to bed. The next morning he would wake up and be ready to go again. (With a little help from a certain giant red Furball.) And he would continue those exercises Every. Single. Day. Even
And he would continue to do those exercises Every. Single. Day. Even when his bones ached, his muscles tore, his skin peeled and pour blood. Naruto, for the sake of his desires. Never once faltered in doing what that Ninja had told him.
Even after he forgot what he looked like. He continued doing those exercises. After he joined the Ninja Academy and they had their own exercises they would have him do. After he got home, he would once again do those same exercises.
Years passed this way. The first year, he didn't notice anything different. And the second year was the same way. So he simply increased his reps and the number of sets he would do.
The third year he noticed he had gotten stronger. Though he had nothing to test his strength on, He could feel it. (Academy doesn't start sparring practice until the kids were nine. Though for the Ninja class kids. Target practice, Chakra training and learning tactics began when they were six.)
The fourth year was when he proved to himself that he was getting stronger. In class one day at the academy.
"Alright class, Today, we begin sparring practice. Now, I know that a lot of you don't really know how to fight yet. And that's okay, You'll learn that later. For now, I just want you to get used to sparring with each other. And next week we'll begin to teach you the Academy style of Taijutsu." Iruka Umino. A Chunin in charge of Naruto's class announced from his place at the front of the class room.
While that may have been true for a portion of the class. The majority of Naruto's class. (The important ones anyway.) Were all children from the various clans that called Konoha home. And they were all taught their clans Taijutsu from a young age. (As well as the Chakra techniques they would later be known for.)
As such, they all had a significant advantage over there fellow students. And Naruto, who, while having zero formal training what so ever. Had been training his butt off for four years by this point. (unknown to all but one 'pretty eyed' heiress.) Was looked down on by the rest of the class as he acted as the class clown to get attention.
When the sparring matches were announced. Everyone looked at Naruto with pity in their eyes as he was paired with the 'Idol' of the class, Sasuke (Or as Naruto called him, Sasugay.) Uchiha
"Ready to lose, Dobe?" Sasuke sneered at Naruto as he got into his Clans taijutsu stance.
The taunting didn't phase Naruto though. He was too eager to test his strength against 'the Prodigy.' To be concerned about what Sasuke had to say.
"Begin!" Iruka yelled. And Sasuke dashed forward.
Naruto didn't move though. He just... stood there, waiting.
"It looks like the Doby's scared!" One kid jeered causing the rest of the class to laugh.
"Come on Naruto! You can do it!" One 'Pretty eyed' Heiress, quietly cheered.
Sasuke was closing in on Naruto now. So he jumped and led with his right leg forward in an attempt to kick Naruto in the chest.
*Pat* His leg was intercepted with one hand though. Right before Sasuke could make contact, Naruto raised his right hand and grabbed him foot mid-kick.
"So Slow..." Naruto said. He swung his arm to the right. (Which took Sasuke along with it.) And released his foot right before his arm was fully extended. Sending Sasuke flying out of the ring and onto the hard ground below. Where he tumbled unconsciously to a stop. (Hit his head on the ground when Naruto threw him.)
The jeering and laughing class, was now completely silent as Naruto made his way out of the ring.
"Great Job Naruto!" Hinata cheered inside her head. For she was much too shy to do so aloud.
"Uh... Good Job, Naruto!" Iruka said after a few seconds pause.
"Hehe, Thanks, Iruka Sensei!" Naruto happily responded.
"Right, that's all for today class. You're all dismissed!"
"But Iruka sensei, What about Sasuke?" One of the girls * cough*Fangirls*cough* asked.
"I'll take him to the infirmary until he wakes up. You all go home." Iruka dismissed them with a wave. Before picking Sasuke up and carrying him away.
When Naruto reached his home that day, he once again started up his routine. Exercise until you can't move, then do it again after resting for a few minutes.
Such was Naruto's life in the Academy. No matter who he fought in the Sparring ring, it always ended in one move. And as he got older, all of his classmates seemed to get slower and weaker with the passage of time.
By the time he was ten, they no longer allowed him to spar with his classmates. (As their egos were being destroyed from sparring with Naruto.) So instead during the sparring class, he would begin his exercises early. His workouts now were a far cry from the hundred of each that Gai had taught him to do.
It now consisted of One thousand of each followed by a quick ten-mile run. (He would do the real run of fifty miles after he got home.)
His exercises staggard his classmates. As they had never really seen him put effort into anything. But now that they saw this, they had a little bit more respect for the blond. (They still thought he was an idiot, though.)
A few times, Sasuke tried to do the exercises with Naruto. However, he collapsed after only doing half of them and he couldn't move for the rest of the day.
three more years passed this way until finally, it was time for their exams. And it was time to see just how strong, Naruto really was.
Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter it was really fun to write. Let me know what you think, And which team you think Naruto should be on. You can also tell me which girl (if any) You'd like Naruto to end up with and I'll take it into consideration. And again, Thanks for reading, Everyone!
