Standard disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, etc.
Some of my facts in this might not match up to actual Naruto history, but please don't be angry. Anger only leads to more anger. And plus, I'm trying to take some creative license xD.
OOOOOOxooooxOOOOOO
Prologue
A dark, hooded figure approached the gates. It was a beautiful Konoha morning. The ANBU guards stationed at the gate stood. They challenged the figure. It replied, quite simply, "I am a guest of the Hokage." The guards remained still. Their lack of movement spurred the figure into movement. It took a step forward. "Halt!" came echoing down from one of the towers. "Stay there until given further notice." The figure withdrew its foot and stood calmly.
Five minutes later, a call came down. "Enter the gates, and stay there. We will have an escort for you to take you to the Hokage."
The figure stepped calmly forward. It walked through the small opening. There were four additional ANBU guards. They walked with him down the main road in a square formation, keeping a sharp eye on their new guest. The figure's eyes roamed over the city.
A lot like my old village…
Hey, remember when you were young? And we…
No. That's in the past now.
Party pooper.
They continued forward, towards the largest building in town. They went slowly up the stairs, trailing a group of curious onlookers. At the door to the Hokage's office, two additional ANBU guards stood waiting. Another ninja, a jounin from the looks of it, stepped out from the side. The jounin waved off the four original guards.
"Wait here," said the ninja. "The Hokage will send for you when she has time."
The figure nodded briefly, and sat in a nearby chair.
"How long will this take? It is urgent that I speak with her immediately." It was the first time the figure had spoken. A deep baritone. Definitely a man.
"It'll take as long as it takes."
The figure settled in.
Fifteen minutes later, there was a crash at the door to the Hokage's office, interrupting a fiery argument between Naruto and Tsunade. Tsunade stood quickly, meeting the threat head-on. The figure stepped out of the cloud of dust, holding one of the ANBU guards by his face in one outstretched hand.
"I got tired of waiting," was his simple excuse. If it counts as an excuse.
"What is the meaning of this?" Tsunade exclaimed.
Naruto stood ready, his hands drifting upward in preparation for his famous kage bunshin technique.
The cloaked figure dropped the injured ANBU guard, who barely managed to stand. The figure left his hand outstretched, and a stream of blue-white chakra poured out of his sleeve, engulfing the ANBU guard. The chakra instantly healed all of his injuries, shaming even the best medical ninja of Konoha.
"Don't worry," the voice from the cloak said. "I come in peace. I just don't have patience."
Tsunade sat, and motioned Naruto to do the same on the couch at the side of the room. The figure remained standing.
"Now, then," said Tsunade, getting to business. "What would you need of Konoha?"
The figure shifted slightly in its cloak.
Naruto squinted at the blackness under the hood.
The figure's arm rose, and a wrapped hand pointed a finger at Naruto. "Him."
