Chapter 1

Trickery

"Thinking"

"Jutsu"

"Talking"

It was early in the morning in Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves. Most people were just waking up, and parents were preparing breakfasts while their children were doing their usual morning routines and getting ready to go to school. This day was nothing less than normal.

The sun was shining through the windows of Naruto Uzumaki as he groaned and sat up in his bed.

"Just a few more minutes," he said as he laid his head back on his pillow.

It had taken him only a couple of seconds to go back to sleep as he didn't get any last night because he was both excitedly and anxiously waiting for this day to arrive. He was excited because he would finally graduate, but was anxious because he knew he had to perform a jutsu he sucked at, which was, the Clone Jutsu.

This jutsu was easy for everyone in his class except him, due to his exceptionally large chakra reserves.

He was sound asleep in his bed but that soon changed as his alarm clock started ringing.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" he shouted as he fell down from his bed and landed on the floor.

"Ouch, my head- EHHH! Today's the day I graduate," he said remembering last night.

He sprang up from the ground and went to get his favorite "shinobi" outfit, his orange jumpsuit.

As he zipped his jumpsuit, he found himself in his kitchen opening his food cabinet and looking at his ramen.

Naruto then decided to go with his favorite Miso Pork Ramen and he popped it into the microwave and waited a few minutes.

After the microwave started beeping indicating that the ramen was finished, Naruto opened the microwave and was drooling as he got two chopsticks and slurped his ramen.

He noticed that he was getting late and said,"this will have to do."

Naruto exited his apartment and closed the door behind him, though he didn't bother to lock the door since no one ever visited him except the third hokage, who harbored no bad intentions.

He walked through the familiar streets of Konoha with a grin plastered on his face, ignoring the bad looks and stares he was getting.

When he reached the academy and went to his classroom door, he scowled as he noticed that the only two empty seats were next to his rival, Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke is one of the two survivors of the famed Uchiha clan, he was a gem as described by many instructors. He was Konoha's Golden soon to be shinobi, all the girls loved him and he had everything handed to him yet he remained a cold bastard with a frown on his face all the time which was why Naruto hated him, he was the exact opposite of him.

He walked up and sat in one of the empty chairs as Sasuke said,"hn."

Naruto was about to insult him but the poor guy was sent flying as he was punched by Sakura Haruno, Sasuke's number one fangirl. She had long bubble gum colored hair that reached mid back, she was someone Naruto used to love but gave up on her when she rejected him about a hundred times.

"Naruto-baka, I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun."

Ino Yamanaka, a girl with blonde hair tied into a ponytail, she was another Sasuke fan girl and Sakura's "rival", then approached her and screamed,"Hey billboard brow, I'm the one who should be sitting next to Sasuke, not you!"

A war then started between the two of them as Naruto took the other seat now next to Sakura.

"Man you're so troublesome," said Shikamaru, a boy with pineapple shaped hair who had a very, very high IQ but was too lazy to really do anything, he never even finished his exams, just answered enough questions to get him a pass.

All the girls in the class were now swooning over Sasuke with hearts in their eyes.

Naruto put his head down on the table and sighed.

"Alright class take a seat," said Iruka as he entered with Mizuki next to him.

"When I call your name, come to the testing room to perform the jutsu required."

After 10 minutes, everyone in the class had passed and walked out with a headband, all except for Naruto, who was the final one to go since his last name started with a 'U'.

"Okay Naruto, it's your turn now."

Naruto walked into the testing room and closed his eyes as he focused.

"Alright, I can do this!"

Naruto brought his hands together and formed the ram hand seal.

He tried focusing his chakra and since he had very large reserves, at least kage level reserves in fact, the density of his chakra was so thick that it was easily seen and it threatened to destroy a piece of the ground.

Naruto let out a cry as he said,"Bunshin No Jutsu (Clone Jutsu)!"

A loud poof was heard and smoke gathered but soon dissipated.

Naruto opened his eyes but was too scared to look to his left because he feared that he failed.

He didn't, however need to look to his left as the look on Iruka and Mizuki's face said it all.

"YOU FAIL!" screamed Iruka as he looked at the pathetic clone Naruto made.

"Come on Iruka, I'm sure we can give him another chance," said Mizuki.

As they started taking, Naruto was shocked and sad at the same time and paid no heed to his senseis.

"I... failed?"

Naruto walked past the headbands that he should have gotten as he glanced one last time at them.

He then sat on the swing he normally sits on with nothing but despair written on his face.

"Hey Mom, look what I got."

"Wow, that's great son."

"Dad, I'm a ninja now!"

"I'm proud of you."

"That boy, good thing he didn't graduate."

"Yeah I know what you mean sister, what was the hokage thinking letting someone like him get a shot at graduating."

"What am I? A monster?"

"Hey Naruto," came a voice from behind.

Naruto turned around as he saw Mizuki standing with his arms crossed and he said,"do you want to become a ninja?"

It was the middle of the night in Konoha. People already went to sleep and the village was very quiet.

"Iruka! Iruka quick wake up!"

Iruka went to open his door.

"What is it Mizuki? Don't you know that its the midlle of the night? I'm trying to sleep."

"No time to explain, Naruto stole the scroll of seals."

"HE WHAT?!"

Chunin and Jonin alike gathered in a room for emergency meetings. The hokage looked around and said,"Naruto has stolen the scroll of seals, I need all of you to find him and bring him back, if this scroll falls into the wrong hands, the village will collapse, it has tons of jutsu the first hokage invented, don't use unnecessary force."

Everyone in the room gasped in shock at how the scroll was stolen by a mere kid.

"How was the scroll stolen? Isn't it hidden safely and securely?" asked a kunoichi.

"It seems that Naruto managed to steal the scroll by waiting until it was nighttime and everyone was asleep," informed the third hokage.

The room then erupted into whispers, loud whispers in fact.

"Enough! I want you to go now and find Naruto."

When everyone quieted down, the hokage gave the order to scatter.

"I hope no one tries something unthinkable."

Naruto stood in the middle of the forest panting as he unsealed the scroll.

"If I can learn a jutsu from here, I'll graduate!"

Naruto giggled at the thought of becoming a ninja.

"Okay let's see what awesome new jutsu I can learn from this scroll, I bet it's something extremely amazing."

"Ahh," Naruto said as he tilted his head.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu? Aww man not this again!"

As the shinobi jumped from building to building, the words of the third hokage rang through their minds.

Who knew what would happen with the scroll in the hands of a kid, especially the "demon brat".

All were ready for the worst except Mizuki, who was smiling.

"That naive brat will give me the scroll and I will learn all those ninjutsu and secrets!"

"It's only a matter of time before I get that scroll."

"Woof I nailed that stupid shadow clone jutsu," said Naruto with a grin.

He looked around as if expecting a chunin or jonin to pop up and take the scroll from him.

"Well, I guess I have time for one more," said Naruto as he laid against a tree.

He opened the scroll again and looked through the jutsu and he noticed a sealing jutsu.

"The second jutsu, Hakke Fuin No Jutsu (Eight Trigram Seal)? Sounds boring."

"How about Chakura Ju (Chakra Gun), the description says,"by focusing chakra into his hand, the first hokage made a small ball of chakra (the size of a bullet) and shot it with deadly precision, it could easily go through metal but its only as fast as the average chunin can throw kunai. This jutsu was created by the first hokage but was never used by anyone, not even him because it was not perfected. However, when combined with Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu, it is really deadly. To perform this jutsu...

Naruto continued reading until he understood how to do the jutsu, and then tried it out.

After about 30 minutes, Naruto was found by Iruka.

"There you are you fooli-"

"Oh hey Iruka-sensei, guess what? I learned two jutsu but only managed to get the first one down, although I'm half way done with the second, I still didn't get it down, now I can finally graduate right?"

"Wha-what do you mean graduate?"

"Well that's what Mizuki-sensei told me, if I can learn a jutsu from the scroll, I'd graduate, he even told me where to find the scroll and all that stuff."

Iruka's eyes widened as he realized what was going on. He was just about to say something when he heard a sound from above and shoved Naruto down.

A shower of kunai came out of the trees and impaled Iruka in the leg and arms. The chunin brother figure looked up and scowled, "I see you want to take the scroll for yourself!"

Naruto who had been staring at Iruka in shock, looked up to see Mizuki with a large grin on his face. "Mizuki-sensei, what are you doing? Why are you attacking Iruka-sensei?" Naruto mumbled.

Hearing his voice, the two Chunin turned their attention to Naruto.

"Give me the scroll Naruto," Mizuki ordered Naruto as he smirked.

"No Naruto don't listen to him!" Iruka shouted.

"W-what's going on?" Naruto asked, unsure what he should do.

"Mizuki used you, he wants the scroll for himself," Iruka said, "That scroll contains not only the first hokage's but Konoha's secret and forbidden Jutsu. He lied to you so you would do his bidding and he would simply take the scroll away from you!"

"Oh I'll tell you who's lying Naruto," Mizuki said with a smirk as he looked at Iruka, then back to Naruto,"His life will be ruined now."

Iruka looked over at Mizuki and saw the smirk on his face, it was then he realized what the white haired chunin "instuctor" was going to say and his eyes widened. "No Mizuki don't say that, you know it's forbidden!"

Naruto looked at Iruka, then at Mizuki,"I asked what's going on here? Who's lying?"

"They've been lying to you your whole life, ever since what happened twelve years ago," Mizuki looked at Naruto with a grin.

"Twelve years ago?" Naruto shook his head, "I don't get it."

"No! Mizuki don't!"

"Haven't you ever wondered why were you hated?" Misuki questioned, making the blonds eyes widen. "Why you were ignored? Why people treated you like you were worthless! Like less then dirt!""Mizuki stop it now!" Iruka shouted to no avail.

"I'll tell you why Naruto," Mizuki sneered, "you see what they don't want you to know, was that the Yondaime did not actually kill the Kyuubi. Instead he sealed it away inside of a new born baby…"

Naruto began to tremble, while he never paid attention and didn't like to study he had never been dumb. Stupid? Maybe a little. But living on his own since he was five had forced him to develop a little faster then most. No he was not the brightest person, but he did have a decent amount of common sense and a keen ability to read others, something that had helped him immensely in the past when he had run into several drunken villagers.

He knew that Mizuki was telling him this for a reason, that the child who the Kyuubi was sealed into and he were in some way tied.

Mizuki confirmed his theory a few seconds later, "you are the child he sealed the Kyuubi into! You are the nine tailed fox!"

Naruto slumped to his knees. Everything made sense to him now. The glares, the hatred, the people muttering behind his back, telling their children to stay away from him. A part of him was actually angry that he had not realized this. His birthday was the day of the Kyuubi's defeat, people hated him with a passion, the one time he went out during the Kyuubi festival because he wanted to celebrate his birthday he had been beaten by a group of drunken villagers.

All of it made sense.

So I am a demon then…?

Naruto was so caught up in his mixed emotions that he did not even see the giant Fuuma Shuriken heading his way.

A second later Naruto found himself staring into Iruka's teary face, he looked over to see a giant shuriken sticking out of his sensei's back.

"Why?" Naruto asked, his voice cracking with emotion.

"Because we're the same," Iruka said with guilt lacing his words. "I was just like you, back when I was in the academy I was so lonely, so I played the fool. I know what it's like to feel that kind of pain, it hurts doesn't it? I'm so sorry Naruto, I should have done more to help you."

"Hahahaha!" Mizuki laughed behind them, "that's a good one Iruka! But we both know you hate him more then anyone! After all, it was the demon who took your parents away!"

Naruto's eyes widened when he heard that. Naruto did the only thing he could do given what he was being told, he grabbed the scroll and ran.

"Naruto!" Iruka's voice sounded after him.

Naruto continued jumping through the trees as fast as he could to get away from the two chunin.

"Naruto!"

Turning around the blond saw Iruka coming towards him. "Naruto! Mizuki was lying! He was just saying that stuff to confuse you!" The chunin academy teacher held out his hand. "Give me the scroll so we can keep Mizuki from getting it!"

However, Naruto merely spun around and launched himself back at Iruka, smashing his head into the chunin's gut.

The two tumbled down the trees and onto the ground.

"How?" Iruka questioned as he held onto his stomach, "how did you know," there was a puff of smoke. "That I wasn't Iruka?" asked the Mizuki.

Naruto smirked, "because." There was a puff of smoke, when it cleared it revealed Iruka. "I'm Iruka."

Mizuki scowled, "why are you protecting that demon anyways? You know what he'll do now that he has his hands on the scroll. Naruto is just like me. He'll use the power that's inside the scroll to destroy Konoha! That's what demons are like."

"Your right," said Iruka, surprising Mizuki. "That is what a demon would do…"

Naruto who had taken to hiding behind a tree as he listened in, froze at those words. I see… he thought sadly. So Iruka only see's me as a demon too…

"But that's not what Naruto would do," Iruka's words caused Naruto and Mizuki to snapped there attention back to him. "Naruto is not the demon. He's my student and a proud ninja of Konoha! Sure he made not always get things right and he's a little… well he's really clumsy and doesn't act all that smart. But he's nothing like you! Naruto is a one in a million kind of person and I believe in him!"

Naruto went from depressed to elated, Iruka believed in him. For as long as he could remember only the old man and a nice father/daughter couple at Ichiraku Ramen believed in him. Having another person who believed he could succeed was an elating feeling.

"You know Iruka I was going to save you for later, but I've changed my mind." Mizuki sneered as he began spinning his shuriken on his arm as he got ready to launch it. "Die!"

Just as Mizuki got ready to throw his Fuuma shuriken at the Iruka a blond and orange streak crashed into him, launching a foot into his face. The Chunin traitor scowled as he landed several feet back, glaring at the person who had hit him.

"If you lay one hand on my sensei, I'll kill you!" Naruto declared, giving his opponent a defiant glare.

"Hah! I'd like to see you try demon!" Mizuki shouted with an insane grin.

Naruto put his hands in a ram hand seal and began amassing his chakra for another jutsu that he had seen in the scroll. "Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu"

Both Iruka and Mizuki gaped as hundreds if not thousands of Naruto's appeared within the forest. They were every where, a literal see of orange that almost blocked out all of the green of the forest.

"What's wrong Mizuki-teme? I thought you were going to kick my ass!" one of the clones shouted.

Another cracked his knuckles, "well if your not coming to us, I guess we'll just go to you!"

The clones all jumped up and headed towards the terrified traitor.

Naruto decided not to try to attempt the other jutsu, he knew that the first one would be enough.

He now had the scroll in his hands, once he dispelled the clones, their was a lot of smoke around the area. At that moment, Naruto decided to rip a piece from the scroll so he could learn some more jutsu and prayed that no one would notice what he did.

Naruto looked at Mizuki who had many broken bones and a lot of bruises.

"Naruto," said Iruka limping up to Naruto with his right arm on his left and his right eye closed.

" I want you to close your eyes."

Naruto closed his eyes and Iruka gave him his headband.

"Congratulations, you pass," Iruka said with a smile,"now let's go to Ichiraku's to celebrate."

Naruto blinked twice still processing what just happened.

He then screamed and ear splitting scream,"I DID IT! I'M A NINJA!"

He jumped up into the air and "punched" the sky.

"Thank you Iruka, you may leave," Sarutobi said as Iruka took Naruto to his office. It was late and Iruka and Naruto had just gone out for some ramen after a clone had given the third hokage the forbidden scroll. However he had wanted to talk to Naruto and make sure he was alright.

"Um… sure Hokage-Sama," Iruka said, "I'll see you in a week Naruto."

As Iruka closed the door behind him, the third hokage Sarutobi turned to look at Naruto.

"Naruto…"he started, only to stop as Naruto launched himself at him, grabbing onto the old Hokage as he cried. Sarutobi was actually surprised, in all his years of knowing the blond he had only ever seen him cry once. The one time he had gone out to the Kyuubi festival and gotten beaten by a group of drunk villagers.

Sarutobi wrapped Naruto in a hug.

"Sorry… Jiji," Naruto said with a small hicc up.

"For what?" Sarutobi asked. "The scroll his back, you helped me root out a traitor and just became a genin…"

"I got your robe wet," Naruto pointed at the small wet spot from his crying.

The Sandaime looked down to see that his robes were indeed wet from Naruto's tears. Sarutobi held in a snort of amusement, of all the things Naruto could be sorry for, it was for getting his robes wet.

"Jiji," Naruto said in an abnormally quiet voice. "Is it true? What Mizuki-s- Mizuki said?"

Sarutobi sighed, he had known this was coming at some point and had hoped to have some time to prepare for it. "It is…"

"So I am a demon…" Naruto said, looking down at the ground, tears forming in his eyes.

Sarutobi grabbed Naruto by the shoulders, making the blond look up at him. "Naruto, I want you to listen carefully. You are not a demon. When the Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi into you, he had made it his dying wish for you to be seen as a hero."

"A hero?" Naruto questioned, getting a nod from Sarutobi. "Why?"

"Because Naruto, it is only thanks to you that the Kyuubi is safely locked away. You are the entire reason that Konoha is still standing today," Sarutobi said.

"Really?" Naruto asked, his voice a little hopeful.

"Yes," Sarutobi said, "you are the hero of Konoha."

"Then, how come every one hates me?" the blond asked.

Sarutobi sighed, "they don't hate you Naruto… They just don't understand, sealing, or fuiinjutsu as it's called, is one of the most obscure ninja arts there is, and the hardest to master. Very few people understand this, and so when something like a demon gets sealed into somebody, they are unsure whether the seal can really hold something like that, a being of such power in. you have to understand that when the Kyuubi attacked, many good ninja died that day, and because of that they are unwilling to accept you, fearing that you are really just the Kyuubi in human form."

Naruto frowned, that made sense, in some sick and twisted way. But now that he knew why he was hated, he had to wonder what he should do. Would people be able to accept him? Could he get people to see past the Kyuubi and look at him as Naruto?

At the moment it didn't seem all that likely. After all, the people of Konoha had twelve years to get over their loss and see Naruto for himself. Then again he had not really helped in that regard. He had been so desperate for attention that he had turned to pranks, since even bad attention was better then no attention.

But maybe if I show them that how good a ninja I am, and that I'm willing to protect the village, maybe I can change their minds. Naruto thought to himself.

He looked up at Sarutobi with determination, "I'll show them that I'm not the Kyuubi, that I'm Uzumaki Naruto! Future Hokage of Konoha! I won't let this get to me, ever! Dattebayo!"

Sarutobi smiled at seeing the boys will of fire returning. "That's good Naruto-kun. I have no doubt you will eventually get there. However, it will require a lot more hard work then what you are used to. You won't be able to do your pranks anymore and will have to actually take the time to learn about being a shinobi. After all, a Hokage is not just the most powerful ninja in the village, he is the smartest and most cunning as well."

"So then your pretty smart, huh Ojisan." Naruto said.

Sarutobi chuckled a bit. "Naruto-kun do you know why I earned my nickname of professor?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Uh… Because your smart?"

"Well essentially yes." Sarutobi admitted. "However, it is much more then that. I earned the title of professor because of my ability to read people and react to any given situation both on and off the battle field. In the many years that I have lived, I have amassed much knowledge from reading books. Things that taught me about Shinobi basics, to the more advanced ninja abilities and theories, as well as knowledge on civilian practices like politics, which has become essential for every Hokage to know now."

He took a minute to curse The Nidaime's decision to create the council, the whole reason a Hokage needed to know politics. He had been told by his sensei, Senju Tobarima before the Second Shinobi War started that the he was one hundred percent positive he had been drunk when he came up with the idea. It looked good on paper, having a group of people dedicated to helping the Hokage deal with the everyday affairs of Konoha's civilians. However the reality was far different. Sarutobi had spent more time fighting with the council then anything, and many of the people in it, especially on the civilian side were extraordinarily greedy, always wanting more money and to line their pockets with more coin.

The old Hokage shook his head and banished the thought. "Anyway the point I'm trying to make is that to be a good shinobi requires you to be not just strong, but also smart."

"I guess that makes sense…" Naruto tilted his head for a moment before remembering something. "Oh yeah! Speaking of being strong you know that awesome jutsu I learned?"

"The Kage Bunshin? Yes I know it," Sarutobi said, wondering where the blond was going with this.

"Yeah well I felt like something weird happened when the clones dispelled.

"Whenever a clone is dispelled, whether on purpose, by accident or running out of chakra, all of it's memories are given to the person who created them."

"Like when I created those ten in the forest and saw ten different sides of myself and my clones," Naruto mumbled to himself though Sarutobi still heard it.

"Yes, the jutsu is a powerful technique that way," Sarutobi said.

Naruto looked up and tilted his head in curiosity, "how so?"

Sarutobi tapped his chin, "well originally the clones were created because they were the perfect spying tools. You could have one of your clones infiltrate a base without any danger to the original and when they dispelled, they would give a complete layout of the base."

"So its used to memorize things?" asked Naruto, scratching the back of his head.

Sarutobi nodded, "yes. However, the Kage Bunshin can be used for more then just memorization Naruto-kun. In fact that jutsu is an excellent method to learn new things with. You can learn just about anything from your clones, from chakra control and jutsu, to the books you read, writing and even taijutsu since muscle memory is a mental faculty."

"That sounds almost like it can be used for training!" Naruto exclaimed, excited by the prospect of what he could get his clones to do.

The old Hokage nodded, "it can indeed be used for training. Though I suspect, that only you will be able to use this jutsu to it's full potential."

"Why is that?" asked Naruto, excited at the prospect that there was something only he could do.

"Because you're the only one who has enough chakra reserves to summon enough clones to really make the training worth it. Most ninja, even Jonin, can only make five maybe ten clones if there lucky," Sarutobi answered.

"Ha! I made nearly a thousand in the clearing when I beat the crap out of Mizuki-teme!" Naruto said.

"That you did," Sarutobi chuckled at the boys enthusiasm, "but it will take more then spamming out clones to become a great ninja… you will have to train hard and actually be serious about your profession."

Naruto thumped his chest, "don't you worry old man! I'll train harder then everybody in Konoha! I'll become not only the most powerful Hokage ever, but the strongest shinobi in the elemental nations! That's my promise of a lifetime! Believe it!"

"I'm sure you will Naruto," Sarutobi chuckled. "And to help, I have some advice for you. But before I tell you what it is I want you to promise me you will listen to everything I have to say and follow the advice I give you to the letter."

Naruto grinned as he thumped his chest. "Don't worry old man, I promise on my honor as the future Hokage of Konoha that I will listen to what you have to say and follow your advice! Believe it!"

Sarutobi smiled before he began. "Very well then. Now since you are a shinobi you will have access to the ninja section of the library, there you will find scrolls on chakra theory and control, ninja basics and I think they even have a few books on Fuiinjutsu if your interested. Though I would also suggest reading books on things like politics and other civilian practices, if your going to be Hokage you will need to know these things. I want you to start off by finding books on basic chakra control and theory, as well as a taijutsu style that will suit you if the basic style does not. I know you do not want to hear this, but the basic principles are the most important aspects of being a shinobi, without them you can not grow because you do not have the essential steps necessary to advance in skill." Sarutobi looked at Naruto. "Promise me you will do this."

Naruto nodded, for once actually paying attention to what he was being told. "You got it old man! I promise, first thing tomorrow morning I will go to the library and look up that information!" Naruto frowned for a moment. "Though, I don't know if they'll let me in."

The third hokage frowned, he knew that a lot of places did allow Naruto entrance, like many of the shops and restaurants. Thankfully, the library, unlike the shops and restaurants, was government owned, meaning he was the only one who could bar someone entrance. "If they try to bar you entrance, just tell them barring entrance to a shinobi is illegal and that if they try they can take it up with me. Also, might I suggest some new clothes?"

"New clothes? What's wrong with these clothes?" asked Naruto, he liked these clothes. They were orange, and warm, and comfortable.

"Naruto, I know you like the color orange, however it is not a good color for a shinobi." Sarutobi said. "When you are out on a mission, those clothes will stick out like a sore thumb, and a ninja is supposed to blend in." Deciding to add some incentive Sarutobi added another thing. "Besides if you wear clothes that are more shinobi like it will add a powerful and mysterious image to you, making people recognize how powerful of a ninja you are."

That seemed to get Naruto hooked. "I'll do it old man!" He frowned for a moment as he remembered when he had tried buying other clothes a few times, however he had always been kicked out of the stores before he could even take a look at the clothing selection.

"Good." Sarutobi smiled. "Now you have a whole week to get stronger before you get your Jonin-sensei assigned." The Sandaime said, "I suggest you use this time to get catch up with the rest of your class, with Kage Bunshin you should be able to get a decent level of knowledge and learn the basics."

"Now it's getting late, so why don't you get to bed. That way you can start getting stronger early tomorrow."

"Right!" Naruto shouted enthusiastically, "I'll see you later old man!"

Sarutobi watched as Naruto left, with the knowledge of that jutsu he should be able to grow strong. Sarutobi looked at a picture of Minato, "your son is on the path to being a great shinobi Minato."

Finally finished the first chapter. This was really boring for me guys, but the next chapter will be more exciting. I wanted to write this story for a long time and because of my excitement, I wrote the first chapter somewhere on this computer a long time ago so I just copy and pasted it, and then heavily edited it. I will probably make Naruto learn two or three jutsu from the scroll, depends on what I want. Also, I don't want Sarutobi to learn about Naruto's second jutsu just yet. If this gets enough positive stuff, I'll post the second chapter tomorrow. Please review, favorite, and follow, now, peace!
