Naruto was fast asleep at his desk, his face planted on a mountain of paperwork. Mission reports, requests, and all sorts of other important documents littered his office. It was about midday, and the new Hokage had been at work for about 8 hours already, but had only managed to put a small dent in his workload. It wasn't that it was an abnormally large workload; his predecessor could have had it all done in only 3 hours. Naruto on the other hand, had a much more difficult time staying focused on his work for a prolonged period of time.

The 7th Hokage was awoken from his midday nap by a slamming door as his advisor, Shikamaru stormed into his office to find Naruto asleep at his desk, his drool making a decent sized pool on the wood.

"What a drag" the advisor sighed while searching the room "did you at least get to that S-Rank report I asked you to look at?"

"hmm... What" Naruto was rubbing his eyes while reminiscing about the dream he had just had. Hinata had snuck into the office and... Just the thought of it made him blush.

Shikamaru leaned over the desk and pulled a purple scroll out from under the Hokage's arm. He held the scroll in his hand, before realizing it was quite possible that Naruto had done the paperwork wrong.

"Do I have permission to?" Only the Hokage and the Anbu were technically allowed to open S-Class documents without consent.

Naruto just waved his hand as he stood up from his desk. He turned and looked out the window, which overlooked the rest of the village.

"This is" Shikamaru was shaking his head, "Not good"

"I assigned 2 Anbu squads to look deeper into it" Naruto paused before turning back to his advisor. "Maybe I should assign more?"

"No" the advisor was re-sealing the scroll "Any more would probably attract too much attention"

"Right" Naruto looked over his office at the mountain of mission reports and assignments still ahead of him.

"How many did you do?" Shikamaru was observing the Hokage's other work.

"All the A through B ranks are done" Naruto sighed.

"Udon and Moegi can do the rest than" Shikamaru realized that If Naruto did the rest; they'd most likely come out wrong. Besides, the Hokage didn't really need to overlook every Genin report about picking up trash or helping old ladies with their groceries.

"Okay" The Hokage felt guilty about pushing the work on to his friends, but there was no way he could pull it all off.

"Well if you don't need me, I have some other obligation to attend to" Shikamaru's toned shifted to being much more annoyed.

"Oh?"

"If I bail out on another Ino-Shika-Cho training session, Ino will probably kill me" the advisor began to make his way out the door. "Maybe you should go spend some time with Bolt as well, I'd prefer it if we didn't have to clean the stone faces every time some diplomats showed up."

Naruto chuckled at this, thinking back to when he used to pull the same pranks. "Right"

"During the Third Shinobi World War, many Leaf ninja attained recognition for their efforts. Lord Fourth earned the title of the "Yellow Flash" for his proficiency with the Flying Rajin Jutsu, and Lord Sixth became known and the "Copy Ninja" for his ability to steal and replicate enemy jutsu with his Sharingan. The war itself pitted Konoha against-"

"BOLT!" The blonde haired boy, who was currently sleeping in his seat, with his head leaning against the window, had distracted Shino from his less that thrilling lesson.

"Yea?" Bolt was trying to pretend as if he hadn't been asleep the entire time.

"Who was acclaimed as "Konoha's Yellow Flash", after-" Shino was cut off by Bolt's answer.

"Grandpa Minato" Bolt responded, completely annoyed that he had been woken up for that. Hokage sucked anyways.

Shino had been caught, he expected Bolt to not know the answer immediately, but it occurred to him that Naruto had probably drilled that into his son's head. Not wanting to be embarrassed in front of his students, the Instructor persisted.

"Who was the "Copy Ninja" who-"

"Uncle Kakashi" These Hokage based question were seriously getting on Bolt's nerves at this point.

Shino realized Bolt could probably answer all the Hokage based questions with ease. So he decided he would trip him up, Bolt had been asleep, so it wasn't like he knew what Shino had covered.

"Who was responsible for ending the Akatsuki invasion of the Leaf, and saving the life of every person in the village prior to the start of the 4th Shinobi World War?" Shino figured one thing out, Naruto wasn't the kind of guy who would've told his son about his own accomplishments.

"Uh..." Bolt was thoroughly stumped; his father had never forced him to learn this.

"Anyone else?" Shino looked around the room, waiting for a hand to rise

"Lord Seventh, obviously" Sarada Uchiha had her right hand raised and was using her left to push up her glasses. She looked over at Bolt, almost shocked. How could he not know about what his own father had done? Then again, she wasn't entirely clear on her father's history either.

"What title did he earn after this feat?"

"Afterwards, people in the village called him as..." She stopped for a second, not because she didn't know the answer, but because she had turned to Bolt so she could gage his reaction "The Hero of the Hidden Leaf"

Bolt's seemed shocked by the revelation, but was quickly able to compose himself. He knew his father was respected in the village, and he knew he had protected it in the past. However, he had never really known the grandeur of his own father's accomplishments. He felt a sense of pride welling up inside him, that he tried to quell immediately.

"Hokages suck" Bolt mumbled to himself.

Shino was about to continue with this lesson when he felt a gust of wind, and a familiar chakra enter the room. A split second later, there was a small note on his podium and Bolt had vanished from his seat. The entire classroom was in shock; some of the girls were even swooning, believing that Bolt had made himself vanish.

"Bolt-kun is sooo cool" A girl in the back on the room proclaimed to her friends.

"I knooow" a large amount of giggling was heard in the back of the room as the gossip continued.

Sarada Uchiha, for her part, was completely aware of what had just happened and couldn't help but scoff at the girls behind her. They might almost be stupider than the boys they talk about.

Inojin raised his hand from the front of the room "Aburame-Sensei, where did Bolt go?"

Shino was currently reading the note that had been left on his podium, to himself.

Sorry for the intrusion Shino,
but is it okay if I take Bolt out for a little while?
I'm gonna take him out for ramen, I'll bring him back
later

-Naruto

The note had a header bearing the words "From the desk of Naruto Uzumaki: Nanadaime Hokage" Shino just shook his head; this was exactly the kind of thing Naruto would do.

"Alright class, let's get back to the lesson" Shino turned back to the chalkboard, and began to write out the class assignment.

Bolt's head was spinning, one second he was listening to Aburame-Sensei's boring lecture and stupid questions and the next he was standing outside the academy with his dad's hand on his head.

"Did you… teleport me out of class? The bolt was surprised; it was unusual for his father to spend any time with him, let alone pull him out of class to do so.

"Wanna get some ramen for lunch?" Naruto had begun to walk in the direction of Ichiraku, beckoning his son to follow him.

They walked alongside each other for a couple of minutes, Bolt noticed that villagers stopped and bowed at his father as they were walking by. He had never actually seen this before, His father always-just teleported to where he needed to be. The young Uzumaki thought back to what he had learned in class about his father. After they had gotten to Ichiraku and placed their orders, Bolt decided to ask about it.

"Hey Dad?" the young blonde looked up at his father, who was currently slurping down a bowl of ramen in its entirety.

"What's up" Naruto looked over to his son, who had been oddly quiet since he picked him up

"Is it true that" Bolt paused, he wasn't used to giving his father so much credit. "You defeated the Akatsuki and saved all the villagers by yourself?"

The Hokage took awhile to respond, he had never told his son about his own accomplishments partly because he didn't want him to be intimidated, and feel like he would never be able to live up to his father's name.

"Not entirely, " Naruto paused. "There's a bit more to the story"

"Can you tell me?" Bolt was now intensely curious, he really didn't know much about his own father when he really thought about it.

Naruto looked around the room cautiously, realizing this was the best place to recount the story.

"Not now." Naruto placed his hand on this son's head "I'll tell you tonight, okay?"

Bolt was disappointed, but agreed nonetheless.

"Alright." Naruto smiled "I'm gonna drop you back off at class now"

"Do you have to!?" Bolt wasn't protesting so much about going back to class as he was about his dad going back to work.

"Yes Bolt" Naruto sighed, why did he always have to be this way

"You should teach me that justu you used to get me out of class" Bolt grinned.

"Why so you can ditch class whenever you want?" Naruto thought about when he would ditch class on Iruka-Sensei, and how much easier it would have been if he could just teleport out.

"But-" Bolt received a hit to the head.

"Dad!" Bolt screamed "That hurt" The blonde immediately paused; he had already been teleported back into the classroom.

"Welcome back, Bolt" Shino smiled before continuing his lesson.

Bolt fell back asleep with a matter of minutes.
