Hello everyone! I'm back!
This is just a little idea that came into my head this morning on the way to college. I wrote it on my phone so sorry about any mistakes, just tell me about them and I'll correct them.
Any feedback is welcome, be it positive or negative. Even flames.
Disclaimer: Naruto's not mine. I don't own any of the characters, not even the Yondaime or Itachi :-(
As the Kyuubi approached Konoha the Yondaime began to wonder.
He was going to die tonight, that much was certain. His soul would be devoured by Shinigami and... No, he wouldn't think about that.
This was the village he loved, had sworn to protect with his life. That was what he was going to do. Even had he not been Hokage he would still do this.
It was strange how at a time like this his mind could wander. It kept returning to the question of how he would be remembered in the future. It seemed such a trivial matter but it wouldn't leave him alone.
Very few people knew his name.
Of course, the Sannin did. Jiraiya had been his sensei so he had naturally spent quite a lot of time with his former teamates. Thankfully his sensei was prone to arguing with Orochimaru so he hadn't spent too much time around the strangely snake-like man.
Kakashi knew his name but virtually never used it. In fact he only remembered a handful of occasions where his young student had used his name, prefering instead to call him Sensei.
Rin didn't know his name as she and Obito became his student after his instation as Yondaime. Because of this his two other students had been unsure of how to refer to him and had simply copied Kakashi in calling him Sensei.
Sarutobi knew his name but that was only natural.
With the exception of these people he doubted that many in the village remembered his name.
After becoming a genin at seven he had begun to build a name for himself and by the age of eleven he was known as Konoha's Yellow Flash to both his fellow leaf shinobi and his enemies.
At fourteen he became Sensei thanks to his talented young student.
Just a few short years later he had become the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha.
If the sealing of the Kyuubi worked he would be known for that.
Now that he thought about it however, the name that had stuck by him the longest was the name given him by his sensei. The most unflattering of all his names by far: Brat.
And with that thought bringing a grim smile to his face he began to seal the Kyuubi.
There you go, let me know what you think!
