Naruto sat at his desk filing through papers. He rested his head on his left hand and then flinched. He had placed his hand on his black eye. He groaned. If the Jounin and Anbu saw the Hokage with a black eye it would just be another sore.
"Damnit all Sasuke." Naruto muttered.
Rokudaime Hokage Uzumaki Naruto sparred with his best friend and ANBU Captain Uchiha Sasuke on a weekly basis. Of course the ANBU captain and the Hokage had to fight in the desert between Konohagakure and Sunagakure so that nothing got too severely destroyed. Hinata still wouldn't let Naruto forget how he nearly blew up the south eastern part of Konoha's wall. Naruto's second eldest son Jiraiya had laughed when Hinata blocked Naruto's tenketsu for that. Hiashi, Naruto's eldest son, was a lot nicer about it. He still laughed of course but just not as much as Jiraiya. Minato and Hashirama still listened to Naruto so they didn't laugh, they just sat there trying their pest to hold in their laughter.
On this particular day Sasuke had accidently slipped on oil on the way back from their battle and tripped Naruto, who ended up falling into a doorknob and thus ended up getting a black eye. If the ANBU heard about this the laughter would not stop. Of course everyone respected Naruto's power (especially after he and Sasuke demolished the Stone and Sound villages all by themselves), but he was still clumsy and he still made people laugh.
"That looks like it hurts daddy-o." came a voice to Naruto's left.
Naruto spun to face his son. Jiraiya sat in the window sill wearing his red jounin uniform with the tan jacket. He had a red long sleeved shirt but black pants. He sat there with the same tattoos Ero-Sennin had, but he wore his Konoha headband around his neck. Jiraiyas long blonde hair went well down past his shoulders.
He sat there chewing on an apple, he turned to look at his father and said, "Yo."
"Where is your brother, Jiraiya." Said Naruto looking at his second born. Jiraiya did look a little like Jiraiya. He was like a fusion of Naruto's father and his mentor. He was much cooler though, he had to admit.
"Dunno, probably doing something stupid I suppose." Jiraiya answered.
"I'm not you, Jiraiya." Said Hiashi appearing next to his unfazed brother.
"No you're not." Jiraiya agreed while nodding, "There's no way you could pull this off."
"Calm down you two." Naruto said stepping in between his two eldest children. Hiashi look at Naruto with a quizzical look.
"What happened to your eye dad?" he asked.
Naruto turned and started cursing at Sasuke while his two sons snickered in amusement.
"What you want loser?" came Sasuke's voice as a puff of smoke appeared in the Hokage office.
The ANBU captain stood in his slouched position. His black tunic was untidy and his blue sash hung loosely on his body. His katana was still in it's position but it hit the floor as Sasuke walked closer. His eyes were not in Sharingan but the scar just beneath his right eye still gave off the same creepy and yet cool aura.
"Aunt Sakura glad to see you then Uncle Sasuke?" snickered Jiraiya.
The next instant Sasuke had Jiraiya pinned to the floor with his right foot, still slouching. Jiraiya sat dazed, a lump beginning to grow on the top of his head.
"No. I was practicing with my boys. They are getting quite strong. They messed up my tunic." Sasuke said as he let Jiraiya up.
"Who beat who during the chunnin exams?" Jiraiya asked, "Oh yeah that's right…me. I kicked Itachi's stupid face into the ground!"
"Yes, but Tsunade did crush me in the chunnin exams." Hiashi said, "And has beaten you a few times as well."
"She cheats." Jiraiya added quickly.
Naruto cleared his throat and the three Jounin elites stood at attention before their Hokage. Naruto, though clumsy and stupid, was still the Hokage; the strongest ninja in the village, who everyone respected. Naruto looked at the three of them sternly.
"As you know, the new gennins have just graduated from the academy." Naruto said, "I have split them up into teams." Naruto placed three files in front of him.
"I have placed Neji in charge of one team, Lee in charge of another, but I do not know who to lead the third." Naruto said, "I believe one of you three should teach them."
"I nominate Uchiha Sasuke! He is the most suited for this position." Said Jiraiya loudly.
"I second the nomination." Hiashi added, "Only he is wise enough to teach these young ones."
Sasuke had a look of anger on his face as he stood at attention. Naruto nodded and waved his sons away. They turned and walked out of the office. Sasuke walked up and opened his mouth to protest but Naruto put up a hand to silence him.
"I agree with them, Sasuke." Naruto said. "I think you will be perfect for this last team; the only one actually able to teach them."
Sasuke fumed and turned to head toward the door. As he reached for the handle Naruto said, "You will be training Inuzuka Kira, Uchiha Gona, and Uchiha Ukite."
Sasuke stopped. He smiled and turned to his friend. Naruto had a look on his face that said "You're Welcome." Sasuke just turned and walked out the door.
"Loser." He said loud enough as he exited the Hokage office.
"Is it wise to let him teach them, Hokage-sama." Neji asked from outside Naruto's office.
"He is the only one that can train them." Naruto said.
"Tsunade and Itachi learned how to use their sharingan without him teaching them." Neji said.
"Yes, but Sasuke will have to look over the twins. We don't want to have another Madara on our hands." Naruto said grimly thinking back to that bloody battle.
Neji nodded in agreement. He could still remember how Naruto and Sasuke had looked after that battle. They were both drenched in blood. Naruto had taken every single blast to protect Sasuke. He had cuts and burns all over his body. Sasuke who was behind Naruto was covered in Naruto's blood. Naruto had put his body and life on the line for that battle. It had taken weeks for Naruto to heal, even with his healing powers. But then again it was his power now, not Kyuubi's.
"It'll work out. I just know it." Naruto said, snapping Neji out of his day dream.
"You really think so?" Neji asked.
Naruto looked up at his friend and smiled, "Yes it will, especially since I have you looking over my son. The other two will also be good under your care. They are going to be strong, I just know it."
Naruto leaned back in his chair and gazed at the pictures of the past Hokages, the old man Hokage, his father, and granny Tsunade. He smiled. He had made everyone of them proud, and he would pass the will of fire down to the next generation. Just as those before him had done.
