IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS INTRO READER TIME CRAP-WHATEVER YOU CALL IT IF NOT THE OTHERS!

Hi guys, it's Jikachi Namizumaki! I have a lot of stuff to say so please listen. First off I am 15 and have just wrote one story before this and that was crap and not even completed so I may not be the best, I do believe that my skills are better than most of the authors whose stories I have read. I've read but they are no where near the best as I still have to reach my peak as a writer. Now even though I just said that I am not the best please do not turn away from my story because of this as you have most likely read stories that have been written worse than mine. Now I am planning to do this as a long story over 100k words with a prequel later so you could call this book 2. It is M rated as it will have romance and lemons, not too much so don't worry if it isn't your thing I will give warning so you can skip them and they will only be there for the romance. I also will include fighting and lots of blood witch action adventure and mystery. Naruto will be a badass and God like but he will work hard for this now I have a habit of going into details about everything hence this long paragraph so I will show you how hard he has to work in terms of fights and training. Now I would also like a beta, more than one even so please volunteer if u want and please publicise my story and in turn I will publicise you whether it be a shoutout to a story or something as random as a Facebook account you want out there please if you could also help me attract the attention of the big writers in the business such as chewycookies. Basically, you scratch my back, I scratch yours. Kapeesh? Good now my name it consists of a mix of my favourite characters in Naruro: Minato, Naruto, Jiraiya and Itachi. Now guys I am very open to ideas and have multiple versions of where I could deviate from my story to create something different entirely hence why I will be conducting questionnaires. Now I would love reviews more than anything as a lack of them is what put me off last time and as a 15 year old I am starting my GCSE's so I will be off for a while and may even offer the chance for someone to write for me. If I make mistakes in my writing also please correct me and if you want me to do techniques (jutsu) in Japanese or English then please tell. Now I am also open to pairings and plot suggestions so please tell me after all this is all for you lot and subjects such as if sasuke remains goo or turns bad will also be up for debate you can literally ask for anything, new jutsu etc etc. Now thanks for reading this and on with the show... Oh wait crap I almost forgot I may start doing Omakes and will even post yours if you send me some as I may not have time, they can be to do with anything but if they were to do with the current part of the story that would be good, not too bothered though to be honest... Any ways on with the show... Oh yeah and by the way the intro may seem as if it is copied off Naruto the caught hokage but guess what I don't care jokes that is my old account and I wrote that when I was 12 early 13s so sorry for the quality of writing.

Naruto. King of the Kitsune

It was a typical bright and sunny summers day in Konoha, the village of the hidden leaf. The blurred voices of civilians and ninjas alike gossiping could be heard by all and the smell of freshly cooked food could be smelt for miles. The pearl white clouds in the sky seemed to dance and intertwine with one another while creating a cascade of imagery upon the canvas that was the cobalt blue sky. The sun, shining high acted, accompanied by it's warm, protective glow, as the masterpiece of the ever present beauty; nature. The birds sang their merry tunes while playfully flying around and another trait of the day was its serene and peacefully quiet yet friendly environment. It truly was a typical, beautiful day. At least it was, until one particular blond spiky haired, orange clad shinobi, who was oblivious to this, ran with almost a skip in his step, down the rough stone rocky road. With a hop, skip and a jump, he dashed towards his 'best friends' house in his ever present exuberant manner.

Naruto, who had just returned from his 3-year training expedition with Jiraiya, the great toad sage (also known as ero-sennin) had already visited the godaime hokage and was now free to relax, or in his case socialise and train. In the three years he was away, the Uzumaki had gained an arsenal of Justus and skills and had been on the receiving end of a growth spurt making the 15-year-old 6 foot, giving him something to flaunt about to Kiba, who would always pick on him for his height, or rather lack of it. He was no longer the baka he was widely renowned for and despite keeping his jovial persona and care free attitude he now when the time required it, could show professionalism and seriousness of shinobi more than double his age. Another change was his clothing, he now sported a dark orange tracksuit which donned a set of black strips along the side of his pants and one vertical strip along the main middle cross section of his jacket (where the zip was situated) combined with another strip which was horizontal which went across his chest all the way around the jacket, behind this he wore a black shirt which held in its centre the orange swirl of the Uzumaki.

Arriving at the door, Naruto looked up to see the slightly imposing building that was the house of Uchiha Sasuke. It consisted of a clean, pristine polished white, for paint, alongside multiple wood reinforcements which acted as an aesthetically pleasing sight. The roof was traditional, with the standard coal black tiles accompanied with an intrinsic yet elegant design of emerald green and blood red dragon dancing along the roof in a protective manner, combined with its fierce display of its sharp claw like teeth, it truly was an awe inspiring sight to behold. To top this of strands of gold were added here and there and the roof seemed to curl up at the end of each corner, adding to the elegance. Unbeknownst to Naruto, this was a design that was created by the Uzumaki's yet was copied by the Uchihas.

Sasuke, since the death of his clan decided to honour them by being the sole inhabitant in the Uchiha compound, preferring it to a life in the centre and all the while protecting the, to him, sacred grounds of his clan from being torn down by the construction company on orders from the Hyuuga, who were seeking a large ground for a private training area and what better place for them than the area that their former arch rivals lived?

Naruto couldn't help but feel that tinge of jealousy and want that he felt when looking at the "bad ass design". Always liked to show off their prowess and strength didn't they? Naruto thought as he reminded himself as a constellation.

Realising that he was standing there with his mouth agape like an idiot, he opted to rectify his mistake, by stepping into the well-kept garden and knocking on the door. A minute later and he was standing there impatiently tapping his foot on the floor and knitting his eyebrows together. Luckily for him however, it was at that moment that Sasuke opened his door. "What do you want Dobe?" he asked offhandedly. "What? No welcome back after all this time?". Naruto whined with a fake pout. "I already knew you were here". "What? How?" Naruto questioned as his face turned a tomato red and smoke could be seen coming out of his ears as his frustration and confusion only grew. "I could hear you screaming Dattebayo from a mile away and who else is stupid enough to go around shouting that?". "Hey no fair! You're the stupid one". "Shut up Dobe. Now…. What the hell do you want?". "Wanna train?" Naruto asked in a ginger tone while bouncing up and down, unable to keep the smile from creeping onto his face. "No Baka I'm busy… now bye" and with that Sasuke shut the door right on Naruto's face.

Naruto fell onto the floor and rubbed his sore nose. The truth really was that tomorrow was his birthday and he really wanted to find a way to inviting Sasuke to a training session. Because of his background as an orphan and a jinchuriki, Naruto had lived his life isolated and alone. It was frequently that he would get beat up on October the 10th and shunned whenever he was seen and everyone including actual criminals looked on him with disgust. His childhood consisted of the words: "Demon child" or "Monster" and whenever he actually had left over money for more than just cup ramen, the shop owners would close up shop when he walked by or would triple the prices on everything. It was this that caused him to want to be Hokage as whenever he was with 'jiji' the glares and shouting would stop and for once he would be able to talk to someone who actually cared. The hokage was a position of respect and power and if one were to become hokage they would be seen as human, more than that they would be looked to as a hero and a leader and it was this that had first appealed to the Uzumaki to become Hokage; the chance to be normal. Little did he know that even without the Kyuubi he would be anything but.

After taking his rejection and a hit to his pride Naruto decided to watch the sunset on top of the yondaime's head at the hokage mountain. After releasing a sigh of relief and relaxing his body suddenly stiffened. "I know you're there" He stated in an exasperated tone. Hinata for her part did not expect this. She had been following Naruto since he had arrived while waiting to build up enough courage to talk to him but when that failed she was content to simply watch the sunset too. That is until he had called her out. He had never done so before in all her years of 'protective surveillance'. As she had come to terms of how she had finally been caught and of how she needed to come up with an excuse- and fast. Fortunately, as she took her first tentative step towards Naruto, Jiraiya stepped out from an under bush and approached the blond haired ninja. Sighing in relief she decided that now was as good a time as any to escape and so, without hesitation, she silently jumped from her spot on the Sakura tree and leapt off to the Hyuuga compound.

"What's wrong?" Jiraiya probed with a solemn expression, like Naruto, Jiraiya also carried with him a fake persona where he would be carefree, but underneath his staged exterior he was a troubled and worn out man who had seen things most men would submit under and by being with Naruto for as long as he did and by bringing him under his tutelage, they both became precious to one another and so they both became part of the special group of people who knew who they truly were for each other. "Nothing" was all Naruto could say as his voice strained and tears began to well up in his eyes.

When alone Naruto would reminisciate on the hardships of his life and would break the mask where nothing would hurt him and instead he would let himself let out his contained emotions, lest he break down in public. Not after he tried so hard to be known as Uzumaki Naruto the man who would never back down no matter what. "Come on kid let it out" Jiraiya said in a soft soothing tone as he wrapped his arms around his student, and precious person in a protective manner. Naruto thanked his mentor by returning the embrace and weeping.

After the tears weeping ceased Jiraiya decided that it was time to speak. "Come on kid cheer up it's your birthday tomorrow and I don't want you to end the day up to it upset". He ushered with a sympathetic tone while standing up. "As a gift I'll even learn you some of your old man's jutsus what do you say huh?". At this Naruto's face brightened. "Yattaa!" he exclaimed as he jumped up and threw a fist in the air. The toad sage couldn't prevent the smirk from creeping up on his face as he knew he cheered up the one person who mattered most to him, the one he thought of as a son. "Thanks ero-sennin" Naruto spoke in an appreciative tone as he once again swallowed his mentor in an embrace. "It's getting dark kid. Go home and get some rest" Jiraiya stated. "Ja na sensei" Naruto shouted as he ran down the face of the cliff by adding chakra to his feet. It's good to see him happy Jiraiya thought with a feeling of content rising with in him. Now…. I need to visit Tsunade he he.. And with that he sunshined away to the hokage tower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hokage Tower ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tsunade was busy at work with the never ending pile of paperwork that Shizune never failed to supply, with a sigh she wished for some reason to be able to find a break and drink some sake but despite all this her happiness did not seem to falter as she knew her grandson was back. With a sigh she blocked out Shizune and her constant rambling. "Tsunade-sama, we still have to have that meeting with the council for the preparations for tomorrow's festival, we can't stall an-". In an instant, Tsunade stoop up and rapidly turned around while grabbing the newcomer's wrist (they were behind here), and threw them onto the desk. It appeared that in the middle of her secretaries rant,

Someone had in fact entered her office. Grunting, the assailant moaned "What the hell Tsunade!" Continued the offender who was recognised as Jiraiya. Tsunade for her part seemed relieved to know there was no threat but looked on the toad sage with an unconcerned look, uncaring of what she just did to him. "It's your fault" she spat back "You're the one that put the seal on this place to prevent people shunshinning in here for safety reasons so how come you can?". "What you think I wouldn't give myself some privileges". He retorted, his grin took on a lecherous appearance as he began to laugh at the end of his sentence. "Jiraiya yo-" Tsunade began, but was interrupted by Shizune who asked "Jiraiya-san what are you doing here?". At this Tsunade spotted an opportunity to leave behind her paperwork and so joined in. "Well Shizune thanks for asking, I am here to fill in my full report on Naruto seen as he ain't here".

I Tsunade sat down and intertwined her fingers together while leaning forward. "Very well Jiraiya… How did it go?". "Good, Naruto has moved on from the knucklehead he once was and has now become a well-rounded shinobi". "And what of his ranking as a ninja?" Tsunade asked. "I'd say he is at least a jounin and would be able to hold his own against Kakashi if not beat him". Tsunade chocked on the tea she had been given in the middle of this 'report' and Shizune's eyes widened. "Are you serious?" she questioned, not believing her hearing. "Very serious Tsunade he is one of the best shinobi in the village and will surpass me and even his dad if he carries on he has been studying: Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu and has studied tactics and has even become closer to the Kyuubi all the while growing resistant to more of its effects". Jiraiya swelled up with pride with every word he spoke and seemed to puff out his chest in acknowledge of how well he trained the blond in question. "Well that is definitely good news…. For now, I would just like to see how things play out by placing him in teams with his friends and then later I will decide his role in the village". Tsunade surmised with an uncharacteristic jovial tone. "Now Jiraiya we have something else we need to discuss; I think it would be better if we were to take a walk". She spoke in a mysterious tone. The truth was that all she wanted to do was to skip out all of the paperwork and this could have been her excuse out of it. Shizune's eyes narrowed as she doubted the intentions of her master, especially when Jiraiya stuttered and questioned what there was to talk about, but in the end she could not outright question the hokage and so let her off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Naruto's Apartment

Naruto had just finished eating his insta-ramen when his clones puffed out of existence, signalling to him that they had done their job of tidying up the apartment. After three years of being uncleaned and not being cleaned very well prior to that took its toll on the apartment but stepping into his bedroom Naruto realised that this was no more the case. He stood there viewing his clean room and thanking himself. Man, I really need to buy a new bed and redecorate he pondered to himself. After showering and getting changed in some loose clothes he drifted off to sleep..
