Prologue
"RASENGAN!" Naruto shouted as, with the aid of Sumaru's mother, he managed to destroy the Meteor and defeat Akahoshi.
Akahoshi yelled as he felt his chakra leave him. He stared wide eyed as he felt a strong pulse of energy. He stared at his chest to see some form of bright energy being released from the star.
"AHHHH" Akashoshi yelled as he couldn't handle the pain anymore and his body shut down from the pain.
Naruto stared as Akahoshi was completely covered in light. He closed his eyes from the brilliance. When he opened them again, he saw that Akahoshi had disappeared and in his place now floated…keys? Naruto stared at the floating keys. 12 of them were golden in color while there were others that had a silver color. Naruto reached out and grabbed them just before Natsuhi disappeared, making him fall to the ground.
Back in Konoha
"To destroy the meteor when you were on a mission to protect it, this is not just mission failure! The compensation costs will be immense." Tsunade looked absolutely furious at the four genins in front of her.
"But Baa-chan, it had to be done." Naruto defended his and his team's actions.
Neji stepped in. "It was my weakness as a leader that I was unable to stop him."
Lee stepped up as well. "I am also responsible."
Tenten joined in. "Yes, so am I."
Tsunade brushed off their defences. "Well, normally it would."
"Huh?" The four genins looked surprised.
"We have not received any complaints about the fact that we destroyed the star." The genin looked relieved and Tsunade continued. "Though since the culprit of the incident this time was our client, Akahoshi, the deputy Hoshikage, the mission itself is also void."
Naruto looked uncomfortable, since he had indirectly killed him. That's when he remembered the keys he found. "Oh yeah, Baa-chan, do you know what these are?" He took out the keys and placed them on her desk.
Tsunade leaned over her desk to inspect them. "Hmm? Keys? Where did you find them?"
"I found these keys when I broke the meteor." Tsunade looked up.
"These keys were in the meteor? How unusual." She went to pick them up when they seemed to glow before her hand was repelled by a barrier. Tsunade quickly retracted her hand as she looked at her slightly sizzling fingers. "Strange, there's a barrier around them. Can any of you touch them too?" Team Gai each tried to touch the keys to the same effect. She looked at Naruto. "Yet, you seem to be able to touch them without any problem." Naruto tested it out by taking the keys.
Tsunade looked thoughtful. "You should probably give them to one of the Hoshi Genin since it is the property of the village."
Naruto looked at the keys before pocketing them. "What happens if they can't touch them either?"
"Then that would probably mean you are the only one who could touch them, making them yours. While I don't know their purpose, they might be a weapon or sacred tool, they seem to have chosen you."
A knock came at the door and Shizune came in.
"Tsunade-sama, we have finished examining the genin of Hoshigakure."
"And?" Tsunade questioned.
"If all of them receive proper medical treatment, they will all make full recoveries."
"Say, what about Mizura?" Naruto questioned, momentarily forgetting about the keys because of his concern for his friend.
Shizune smiled at him. "Yes, of course him too."
"That's great! And? Where is everyone?" Naruto exclaimed.
"We've finished their examinations and they are returning to their lodgings."
Naruto grinned before running to see them.
"Hey Naruto, I'm not done with my lecture!" Tsunade yelled at him before scoffing in amusement. "Geez…He never changes."
Naruto ran out of the building and quickly found all three Hoshi Genin walking to where they were staying.
"Hey everyone!" The three stopped and turned as Naruto ran over to them. "I'm happy for you."
Mizura smiled and nodded as Sumaru glared at him. "I won't lose to you."
Naruto looked confused. "What?"
"I will become the Hoshikage before you. Even if we don't have a star, I will make Hoshigakure the best ninja village with my power!"
Naruto smiled in amusement, not having the heart to tell him that he didn't really want to be Hokage, it was just something he said to hide his real self. However, talking about the Star Village reminded him of something.
"Oh, yeah. Do these say something to you? They came from the meteor." He pulled out the keys and showed them to the genin.
"Huh? The meteor?" Sumaru looked confused. He reached to grab them when he was stopped by the barrier.
"Oww, what did you do to them?" Sumaru asked as he pulled back his hand.
"Nothing, when I showed them to Baa-chan and my teammates, they were also stopped by the barrier. We thought that since it came from the meteor, you should be the ones to have it."
Hokuto looked at them. "Well, we never heard anything about them and they don't seem to expel the same energy as the meteor. Besides, it looks like they chose you for some reason."
Sumaru crossed his arms. "Well, we don't need them anyway. You can keep them."
Naruto frowned. "Really? You sure you don't want them."
Sumaru replied. "Well, it's not like we can touch them, and no one ever mentioned keys in the meteor so I don't think they'll care if you took them. Anyways, we should get back, Mizura needs his rest." With that, all three said their goodbyes to Naruto as they left.
Naruto stared at their backs before going back home. He reached his house and took out the keys to look at them. 'What are you?' He mentally asked them. He was surprised as he thought he saw a twinkle come out from them. 'Huh, guess I should find out later.'
Naruto placed the keys in a box and left them under his bed as he went to continue his day.
