Another idea just popped into my my head and hopefully it's a little different from my other stories. I've read so many great stories from so many great authors that I suddenly felt the urge to start up another story. Again, if you read this story, please leave some sort of review.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but if I did, then I would have picked a better name for the 4th Hokage. (Don't ask me for a name)

My New Dream

A blond haired Hokage sat at his desk, scribbling furiously on the piece of paper, droplets of tears dripping from his face as he wrote it. Beside him was his old mentor, a white haired Toad Sage that had the power of a Sannin. The now composed Hokage took the paper and shoved it into the envelope along with his signature on the side. Giving it to his former mentor, the now battle ready Hokage took one last look at the Sannin and then at the letter, and then to him again.

Picking up something from the ground, it let out a soft cry, as he stood to jump off the ledge from his window. A violent shake of the earth made itself known and the departing Hokage looked back towards the other man.

"I will leave this village soon, and I hope that this boy will be known as a hero."

"Maybe, but you know how hot-headed these villagers are."

"I know. It is my last wish to the village."

"But I won't be around to watch him grow up. Who knows what they might do to him."

"I'm sure that is what will happen. But I know this boy can change their way of thinking, for he is the true inheritor of the Will of Fire. This boy can change it, and village will prosper."

"Don't you think it's a little harsh to make him go through this?"

Before the young Hokage could answer that, a huge gust of wind made it to the building, as well as a powerful earthquake. The building was starting to break down, and it was too dangerous to just sit and talk like this. Seeing no other solution, the blond haired Hokage just took one last glimpse at his mentor, then to the bundle in his arms, and silently said goodbye. He jump off from the ledge, and using one of his arms to support the baby in his arms, bit his free hand and summoned a huge toad in the air.

"I guess this is my last ride with you, Gama."

"So, you're willin' to do it, huh?"

"Yes. As the Hokage of Konoha, it is my duty to die for the village."

"You are a true warrior. Let's go get that demon."

Standing on the top of the huge toad's head, they rode off to face the terror that was causing this destruction. Looking down at the child in his arms, a single tear fell off as he whispered something to him.

"I'm sorry to do this to you, but I have faith in you. You will lead our village out of the darkness that is to come, and I know that you can do it. Please, when you find out, I hope you forgive me as the Hokage and as your father."

6 years later, a young child could be seen standing in the middle of a large group. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and a blanket clutched in his right hand. The group was shouting out profanities at the young boy and some even threw rocks at him. However, despite this, the boy did not cry, he did not yell, he didn't even feel angry. The first few times the villagers did this, he sure did do all of that, but by now, after 2 years of this torment, he got used to it. Still, the villagers did this to him and he didn't even know why. The minute he was able to walk on his own, the villager had pointed at him and started cursing at him in which a huge mob formed.

What was wrong with him? Did he do something bad? If he did, what did he do? Was it because he had no parents? Was it because he was blond? Was it because he had blue eyes? Questions like those ran through his mind constantly and he seriously did not know any answers. Once, he stared into his reflection dressed only in his boxers and thought about everything that's happened to him. He knew that the villagers hated him, and he even asked them why, yet they didn't answer his question and just kept throwing rocks at him.

That thought just made him completely snap and for a second, he saw a strange mark appear on his stomach. He grew very curious as to why that happened and thought that maybe the villagers knew about it and that's why they were angry at him. Still, he didn't show anyone his body bare body before, so how could they have known. So he sat there confused and just overridden with thoughts about his life.

Surrounded by the same crowd that always appeared when he went out in public, he just stood there. Just one minute in the park and he was already the center of attention. This time, though, the villagers said a lot more things than before, and one even shouted "demon!" at him which caused the crowed to grow into a major uproar. He noticed two people appear from the crowd, holding sharp knives in their hands. For the first time in a long time, he felt scared. His body felt numb and for just a moment he thought that this is for the best. He pushed that thought back with an unknown force and looked towards the two men approaching him. If he was going to die, he might as well die with a fight.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a poof of smoke appeared and when it cleared, the villagers looked shocked and scared. They backed off, and some people even tried running away. Naruto was facing the back of a man with long white robes, and some sort of hat. Beside him were two other people, wearing masks and a sword on their backs. The young boy looked at them like they were angels sent by Kami himself to save him and just stared aimlessly at them. An old man's voice broke him from his gazing and turned his head to the backside of the man speaking.

"What type of villagers are you? Attacking a defenseless child out of nowhere?"

"But Hokage-sama, that child is a dem-"

"That is enough!," Naruto knew the old man sounded angry, "If you don't get away from here, I will have my ANBU deal with your shameful behavior!"

Instantly the crowd broke apart, low grumbles emitting from their constant departure. As for the two men with the knives, they were arrested and taken in by the ANBU, who simply poofed away. Naruto stood in amazement as the crowd just simply left when the guy in the robes yelled at them. Whoever this man was, he was very grateful to him and he just couldn't contain his amazement. When he noticed that the man had turned around, he looked up towards him with a strange glint in his eyes that the man known as the Hokage could understand perfectly.

"Are you okay?" The old man said, concern evident in his voice, making the young child respect this guy even more.

"Yes! And it's all thanks to you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you-"

"It's okay, Naruto."

Stopping his jumping and energized body, he look towards the Hokage, confusion showing in his eyes.

"How'd you know my name? I haven't even met you before."

"That's not important right now," at this, the boy identified as Naruto, pouted, "but don't worry. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough."

The blond haired kid just tilted his head to the side and stared at him as the last events went through his mind.

"What's a Hokage?" Naruto spoke up suddenly, remembering what one of the guy's called him.

Of course, the geezer didn't seem surprised by this outburst. "A Hokage is the respected leader of the Leaf village. All the villagers look up to him and respect him a lot."

Naruto's eyes grew wide as he realized he was talking to such a highly respected authority and quickly looked towards the ground.

"O-oh, I guess since your so high up, speaking to me is bad. I'll just go now." He began to walk away before the Hokage's voice sounded.

"Hold on! You are not bad. If anyone in the village is bad, its the villagers themselves."

"What?"

"Come Naruto. Let's take a walk."

The blond haired kid just nodded furiously, not about to lose the chance of a potential friend. They walked along the path in the park, and noticed a few glares from the people in the park, even from some kids.

"Don't mind them. Don't worry, you'll be safe with me." Again, Naruto just nodded and tried to think of a conversation.

"So what does a Hokage do?"

The old Hokage just pondered for a second and look down at his companion.

"Well, the Hokage does a lot of things. It is the title given to the strongest ninja of the village, and leads the village into justice and goodness. The Hokage is highly respected and has the full leadership of its fellow ninja."

"Wow! So you're the strongest guy in this village! How cool is that! Plus, if ninja are those guys that arrested those other guys, then being the leader of them is super cool! And everybody looks up to you and respects you!"

He just nodded his head, smiling at the youngster's enthusiasm about Hokage. Suddenly, his head jerked up, and had a determined look on his face. The Hokage looked at him confused to his sudden reaction.

"Thats it!"

"What's it, Naruto?"

"My new goal! From this day on, my new goal is to become the Hokage of this village and gain the respect of all the villagers! That way, they can look up to me and won't hate me anymore!"

"The path to Hokage is hard. It will take all your effort, all your strength, and all your heart to achieve this title. Are you willing to go through all of that?"

"If getting that title means being respected by the village, then I will do everything within my power to achieve that goal!" He tilted his head up, facing the sky. "You here that! I will be the next Hokage!"

Seeing him shout that out to the sky brought a huge smile on his face. He had no doubt in his mind that he was going to achieve that dream. After all, he is the true inheritor of the Will of Fire.

Not a long chapter, but it is only the first chapter. I promise that the next chapters will get longer and the story will get better as it goes on. Although it won't turn NaruSaku for a while, I guarantee you it will. The next chapter will show you that, so for now, this story will be placed in the NaruSaku place.
