I wanted to try making a story in which Naruto became Hokage after Pein was defeated. This story will follow most canon events but there will be some minor/almost major changes. So yeah….. REVIEW AND STUFFF.
I don't know what the pairing's going to be right now. So you can suggest the pairing, anything other than Sakura.
I don't own anything from Naruto. This is my permanent disclaimer so I'm not going to write this again.
~~~~~~~~Chapter 1: Hai Lord Hokage!
"This time… I hope for you these will be flowers of hope that never die." Konan, Pein's accomplice said handing Naruto a bouquet made of paper. Naruto had just fought the greatest battle of his life, many things had happened in that one battle. He met his father, contemplated peace and the ninja world's fate with the man who destroyed his village and killed his perverted grandfather. He even found a new goal for himself, bring peace to the ninja world. The tree made entirely of paper seemingly disappeared as did Konan.
Naruto than started walking towards the village, still incredibly tired. Right when he was about to fall, his old sensei Kakashi got him.
"Good job." Kakashi sensei whispered. Then, all he heard was big sheering.
Everyone in the village was cheering for him. He wasn't surprised though since Katsuya and Konan informed him of Nagato's last act of repentance.
"They've all been waiting for your return." Kakashi sensei said. He just couldn't believe it though, his people were finally acknowledging him! He was one step closer to becoming Hokage!
They all crowded around him, holding him up and stuff. He was so happy.
He than noticed an ANBU agent appear behind Shikamaru's dad, that got him curious. Shouldn't they be doing patrols?
He got down from the crowd and made his way to Kakashi. Kakashi seemed to know what he was thinking and said " They're probably having an emergency meeting with the daimyo."
Naruto nodded, he created a shadow clone to keep everyone distracted and made his way to where ever Shikamaru's dad was going.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daimyo meeting place~~~~~~~~~~
The daimyo, his advisers, Shikaku, and the three Konoha Advisers were in a heated meeting.
"Who will be the next Hokage?" asked Danzo, just waiting for the opportunity to option in himself to be Hokage.
The daimyo just asked "Why not wait till Tsunade's better?" which was quickly shot down by Koharu, the female adviser and Sandaime's old teammate.
Just as Danzo was about to nominate himself, Shikaku had a brilliant idea and interrupted Danzo.
"Why not Kakashi Hatake?" he asked.
Everyone started contemplating that other than Danzo, who took that suggestion in stride.
Just as the daimyo was about to agree, Danzo said something that shocked everyone in the meeting. "The third's teachings have as good as destroyed the village." Just as he was about to continue on with his rant, Naruto smashed through the doors and loudly protested!
"Watch what you say about old man Hokage!" Naruto continued "he's done more good for Konoha than you could ever dream of!" everyone else in the room was shocked, even Shikaku hadn't thought the meeting would be disrupted.
"I will be the Hokage!" Naruto boldly stated, his voice quieting down all others.
"What makes you think you're worthy or Experienced enough to be Hokage?" Homura, Sandaime's other teammate questioned.
"I am the pupil of Lord Jiraiya, the son of the Yellow Flash, Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Pupil of Kakashi Hatake, the copy ninja, and I am the new toad sage, and also the man who single-handedly defeated Pein, the leader of Akatsuki." Naruto steadily replied, shocking Shikaku and the advisers because of his respectfulness.
The daimyo and his advisers were shocked, the young man before them was a god of battle since no adviser was opposing what he just said.
"I think not!" Danzo shouted, losing his cool headedness after realizing that Naruto made a solid point.
"The third was the teacher of Orochimaru, you already know that! He taught Jiraiya who taught the man who just destroyed this village!"
"How would you known that Danzo? Hmmm? Unless you were working with HANZO who killed Nagato's friend which in turn made him make Akatsuki. I know you were working with Hanzo so you could over throw the third. Don not think I don't know what I'm talking about, Nagato himself told me that." Naruto said, as he rebutted Danzo's slander.
"ANBU take Danzo to the interrogation unit." Shikaku commanded.
Danzo saw the trouble he was in so he signaled his root ninjas. They appeared at the same time as the ANBU. They were about to attack when all of the root ninja suddenly just collapsed, blood flowing from their necks.
No one could comprehend what just happened, they all heard a rustle so they turned and saw Naruto wiping his hand.
"I thought root wasn't supposed to exist anymore, Danzo?" Shikaku questioned after he saw the symbol on all the porcelain masks of the corpses.
The ANBU continued on and hand cuffed Danzo with chakra depleting cuffs, just incase he had some sort of genjutsu that could get him out.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! Konoha will not survive without me!" Danzo shouted as he was taken away to the interrogation department.
"Lets continue on, while you make good points on why you should be Hokage, what else is there?" questioned the daimyo.
"While I am young, others were made Hokage even younger than I would be. Take Gaara, the Kazekage, for example, he was made Kage when he was 14. That brings another fact, I single handedly stopped the Ichibi's rampage at the chunin exams two years ago, ask the toad boss Gamabunta himself." Naruto said.
The advisers were muttering among themselves until one whispered to the daimyo their opinion. The daimyo's somewhat wrinkled face remained neutral.
"From all of our answers, we deem you temporary Rokudaime Hokage until Tsunade recovers." The daimyo said, with the tone of voice that says that he's made up his mind.
All the advisers of the daimyo were grinning while Shikaku was smiling slightly. Both of the two high elders let out a small sigh, they weren't biased because of his condition, they just thought that he was still too young.
"Thank you Lord Daimyo, I will not disappoint. Konoha will rise up from it's ruins with the will of fire in all of us!" Naruto shouted passionately.
"hmm, make sure you don't." was all the daimyo said before he left to go back to fire country capital.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~somewhere close to Konoha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three individuals were walking through the last leg of there journeys, all of them were wearing a Kumo Headband, two were very tanned and wearing something similar even though one was a boy and the other a girl. The girl had red hair similar to Sakura's and the boy had really short blonde hair. The last person had a cold, calculating look and a blonde hair, she had a very large bust as well. The two tanned ones seemed to be having an argument as the girl was yelling at the boy.
"Nah, you're just over thinking things now, Karui." The guy said.
The girl picked up a stone and threw it at him while yelling, "Who're you to talk!"
The pale girl just stayed out of the conversation while the other two continued on.
"Hey! What if that rock hit a boulder and the boulder crumbled? What if the boulder's pieces hit another boulder, causing an avalanche and buried Konoha?" the Boy said lazily, almost reminiscent to Shikamaru.
"You're the one who's over thinking things, Omoi!" the girl shot back irritated by his comments.
They walked to Konoha's walls and saw the damage of Pein's attack.
"No way did I do that! That pebble shouldn't have been able to do that." Shouted Karui nervously.
"Karui, how- how could you have done that. Samui, look what she did." Said Omoi.
"Don't be ridiculous, lets find someone to talk to." Samui said.
"HALT! State your business in Konoha walls, Kumo Shinobi." A cat-masked ANBU agent commanded.
The Kumo shinobi started reaching for their swords, just incase.
"We are team Samui and we were ordered by the Raikage to deliver this message to you." Samui stated, showing that she was the leader.
"Alright, please come with me, our Hokage is somewhat busy right now." The agent said discretely.
"I don't mean to pry, but what happened to this village? It looks like a giant beast attacked you or something." Omoi asked.
"Oh, the leader of Akatsuki attacked out village, no one could beat him except for our current Hokage since the previous one, Princess Tsunade used up all her energy healing us. It was like watching two gods attack one another, since the leader took out a majority of our forces easily. Our Hokage somehow got the leader to revive all the people who were killed." The ANBU agent said, trying to show that the leaf village were still the strongest village even after the attack.
Team Samui were awed, they knew that Akatsuki were all s-ranked shinobi and that meant the leader had to be extremely strong to be able to lead s-ranked rogue ninjas.
"We're here." The agent said, pointing to a tent with it's front flaps open. "wait here while I speak to the Hokage." The agent walked into the tent and the tam just stood there for a bit.
Then they saw a head of spiky blonde hair come out of the tent. They were stunned, they thought that the Yondaime Hokage was dead!
"Hello, what is the message from the Raikage?" questioned the Yondaime look-a-like since they noticed he was too young to be the Yondaime. Heck, he was younger than they are!
"Oh, this is a message from the Raikage." Samui said, shocked by the raw power Naruto seemed to be radiating.
He took the letter and started reading it. You could tell by his face that he was angered.
"I will answer you later, what I am willing to do is give you his ninja file. It is outdated though since it is from three years ago." Naruto said, shocked and upset by Sasuke's latest actions.
With that, the Kumo shinobi were escorted to the files library by the cat ANBU while Naruto was at his personal tent, trying to comprehend the recent actions of Sasuke Uchiha. He had too much to deal with now, should he not declare Sasuke a missing-nin and possibly risk a war with Kumo or should he kill his heart and break his promise to Sakura?
"I have to hold a meeting with the rest of the group…. ANBU! Get me the rest of the group I associate with and tell them to meet me here. Say it's urgent." Naruto commanded, feeling it was best to see what they thought. The ANBU departed, hurrying along as to not disappoint the Hokage.
A minute or two later, 11 figures flashed right outside the Hokage tent. All of them seemed to be confused.
"I thought Lady Tsunade was in a coma, Sakura?" Ino questioned, her visible eye toned with curiosity and hope.
"She is. I checked on her an hour ago with Shizune. If she isn't in a coma, I would know." Sakura stated matter-of-factly while the rest were just listening.
"Sad to say, Grandma is still in a coma, I'm just the sixth Hokage till she feels better and wakes up." Everyone was startled, they didn't notice Naruto come out of the tent at all.
"Oh, so you're just her- HUH! Naruto! You're the sixth Hokage?" Kiba shouted, everyone in the group was shocked, even Shino, Neji and Sai.
"Yeah, I wanted to discuss something important with you." Naruto said, ignoring their shocked faces.
His face than got very serious, something no one in their little group ever saw.
"Sasuke Uchiha attacked and captured the Eight-tailed beast's host and the Raikage asks that we put Sasuke into the missing-nin roster. What's even worse is that the Jinchuuriki was the Raikage's younger brother." Most of the group had hatred written on their features once Sasuke's name was spoken while Sakura and Ino looked shocked.
Shikamaru was the first to speak. "Let them get what they want, we should put him on the roster and into the bingo book-""NO!" both Sakura and Ino shouted, you could here distress in their voices. The rest of the group agreed with Shikamaru since they all knew how smart he is.
"I say we do what Shikamaru said." Neji stated, not giving any time for either Sakura or Ino to respond.
"I agree." Shino said stoically, he seemed to have finished analyzing the situation and deemed Shikamaru's idea the best course of but surely everyone other than Sakura agreed, Ino only agreed because she realized how bad of a situation Sasuke was in and logically picked.
Sakura was distressed and started doing something she thought would give her the advantage, she cried and begged Naruto.
"Please don't do this Naruto, you're the Hokage, you can override this. Remember how you promised me you'd bring back Sasuke? When we do, we can all be a team again." Sakura frantically pleaded, tears streamed down her face.
"I'm not sure Sakura, Sasuke's caused so much trouble and since I'm the Hokage, I've got to do what's best for the village and the world. I…. I will label Sasuke as a missing-nin now. I'm sorry Sakura." Naruto said, pained that he had to make this decision.
Sakura looked betrayed, as if Naruto had killed her family. She started swelling up in anger and said something that she would one day regret.
