AN: Yo, what's up? I got another idea randomly, and i decided to see where it could go before i lose it. I haven't quit on the other story, 'My Right Eye' but i don't have much inspiration for it, not to mention i didn't get many reviews... so yeah.
Summary: What if Sarutobi didn't like all the pranks that Naruto did? What if he expected Naruto to be great, because of his lineage, and when he saw that Naruto was going down the wrong path he decided to try and fix it, but in the proccess changed the Naruto universe forever... !No Pairings Until Much Later!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
It was a bright sunny day in Konoha, but it was also a bad day for our five year old main character, he had a simple black short-sleeve shirt, and some white khaki shorts and some black shinobi sandles. Naruto, who was kicking and screaming, or at least trying to scream. The reason for this being that some random chuunin had him gagged and wrung over his shoulder, because he had pulled a particularly nasty prank on a public bathroom, that caused many people to come running out covered in brown gooey stuff.
So that meant he was probably going to get in trouble at the orphanage and probably not get dinner for a couple days... big deal. But no this time the chuunin decided he was going to see the Hokage today, the chuunin said something about a juvenile detention center. 'Pfft, like Ojii-san would send me to jail.'
They had finally made it to the tower. The secretary had told them that the Hokage was free and they could go in to see him. They walked in to see a busy looking Sarutobi hard at work on some paperwork, he noticed them and looked up and glared at Naruto, "Don't tell me, another prank?"
"My apologies Hokage-sama, but this de-, child will not stop pulling these ridiculous pranks, the property damage bills he has caused are numerous, and the orphanage has agreed to pay them, but they want to disown him," the nameless chuunin stopped, "We cannot allow him to run rampant in the streets, I suggest something be done and soon."
"I will take your suggestion into account when passing judgement, you're dismissed," Sarutobi said crossly noticing the chuunin's slip-up. With that the chuunin disapeared. Sarutobi lit his pipe, leaned back, and then took a puff, "Naruto, do you want to become a shinobi."
"Of course Jii-san, my dream is to become Hokage, you know that!" Naruto shouted with enthusiasm.
"Yes I know, but the way you are now you won't even come close to Hokage, you may not even make Jounin," Sarutobi stated while looking at Naruto's face to gauge his reactions. A cross between betrayal, sadness, and rage all went through his eyes in a second.
"But Ojii-san, how could you say that, I thought you believed in me," Naruto said with a heartbroken look on his face.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but you keep acting like a delinquent and getting a bad reputation, you have to take being a shinobi seriously if you're going to enter the academy next year. The way I changed the curriculum, you wouldn't last 2 years, let alone the full six years," Sarutobi said taking another puff of his pipe.
Naruto may have been five but he was pretty astute for his age. He could tell Sarutobi was trying to help him so he wasn't going to push him away. "Well what can I do to get better then, I really want to be Hokage so I can protect this village." Sarutobi smiled, he half expected Naruto to scream in frustration and then run away. 'Looks like he takes after Minato a bit more than I thought.'
"Well first, you need to stop these pranks of yours, second, you have to take being a shinobi seriously, it is not a glorious profession, opposed to what you may think, you will have to kill bad and sometimes even good people for your village's well being, hesitation can cause your teammates death, you have to be ready for that kind of responsibilty," Sarutobi stopped to let that sink in. Naruto was a bit horrified knowing that he would have to kill people at one point in his career, but hearing that it was for his village made him feel better about it.
Sarutobi smiled seeing the boy take on a look of determination. 'He'll make a fine shinobi.' "And finally, you need to train hard, while other people are taking breaks you should be thinking of ways to better your skills, make sure you are proficient in every art of the shinobi, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and even Fuinjutsu." Naruto nodded getting what the old man was trying to say.
"Alright old man, I won't dissapoint you, I'll become the greatest ninja ever!" Naruto said with pride clear in his voice, and then a thought came to Naruto. "Hey Jiji, is there anything you can give me so that I can get a head start on the academy?" Sarutobi pondered that for a moment, 'Well the clan heirs are probably getting headstarts as well, so why not.'
"Sure, but first, do you remember that scroll on how to feel your chakra that I gave you," Naruto nodded, "Good, you have to flare your chakra so I can see where you stand, and what you are ready for, okay?" Naruto nodded again and proceeded on to doing what was asked of him. A large burst of chakra came from the small boy, that was most likely palpable to everyone in the Hokage tower. Naruto looked up to see the Hokage with a look of amazement on his face with his pipe laying forgotten in his hand.
"Naruto, you do realize that you have nearly double the amount of chakra than most Jounin, right?" Naruto just looked sheepish.
"I always thought I had more chakra than what was usual for his age, never thought I had that much though." Naruto said while rubbing the back of his head. Then Sarutobi knew what jutsu he would give to Naruto.
"Alright, I'm going to give you three ninjutsu that make a deadly combo, a taijutsu style, ways to dispell genjutsu, and a numerous amount of chakra control exercises, I expect that you'll need them with how much chakra you have." Sarutobi said, he then got up and walked into a backroom. After a couple minutes the old man came out with said scrolls. "I hope you put them to good use."
Naruto looked greedily at the scrolls, when the old man gave them to him he couldn't hold it in any longer, "Thanks Jiji, I promise that I will serve Konoha until I die and become the greatest Hokage of all time, and Naruto Uzumaki never goes back on his word!" And with that he ran off. 'Well, Konoha is going to have an extremely strong gaurdian in the years to come, for some strange feeling I feel like I just changed alot of people's destinies in one fell swoop, odd...'
