First chapter! Yay!

Probably some mistakes please show them to me.

Please review!

Tsunade looked at her desk in deep thought, then her gaze fell on the box at the right of her desk, then it returned to her desk. The same process was repeated a couple hundred times before a knock on the door brought her back to reality.

'This is it' She thought "Come in." she said flatly.

The door open and Shizune half entered the room "He is here." she said.

Tsunade slowly nodded "Let him in." Receiving a nod from Shizune she tried to calm down the swirl of emotions in her stomach.

A couple of seconds later a 17 year old Naruto entered the office with a smile on his face.

"Oi! Tsunade Baa-chan! You needed to see me?" he asked playfully, expecting a reaction from his nickname for her.

However Tsunade's face remained serious, which immediately made Naruto focus.

"Is something wrong?" he asked a little worried at his mother figure's expression. Slowly she stood up and went to the window.

"I read your last mission report…" she said with slight tremble in her voice "What about it?" he asked clearly puzzled, after all she had to read all mission reports didn't she?

She remained silent as she watched the horizon, then she spoke "I'm quite impressed… you managed to pull off a mission even Kakashi would have had trouble with…"

His smile returned to his face in no time "Well thanks Tsunade Baa-chan!" he said playfully again, but he returned to his focused state when he saw the look in her face as she turned to face him.

"It's not the first time Naruto. You have been doing quite well in hard missions lately," she turned and began to walk towards her desk, sitting again, "Therefore I'm going to promote you Naruto."

His excitement didn't take long to show "Really?! Awesome, I'm finally a Jonin!" before he could continue he was interrupted "No." Tsunade said flatly, he turned to watch her, clearly puzzled "But you said that you were going to promote me and I'm already Chunin so…"

"I'm promoting you to ANBU, Naruto…" every working system in his mind came full stop at those words, "A-ANBU…" he mumbled weekly, his eyes wide.

"Yes… your improvement this past year excels even a Jonin, since you are not yet ready to take my place, I decided to make you an ANBU." she said as she picked up the box to her side and gave it to Naruto "Congratulations… "Fox""

Focusing on the box, he slowly removed the box cover. Inside there was an ANBU uniform with a fox mask on the top of the package.

"From this day on, your name will be Fox ANBU from the hidden leave!" she said with a hint of pride and sorrow in her voice.

"Now, there are a couple of things I need to tell you before anything else."

He nodded "First of all, you are not allowed to tell your friends you are an ANBU. Second, because of this and because of your ANBU training will last at least a couple of months, you will only be doing missions with your team." he nodded again, "Good, you will start your training this afternoon, Anko will meet you at training ground number 3 to take you to the ANBU headquarters."

"H-Hai, Tsunade Baa-chan…" he said, struggling to bring out words.

"Also, I can't have one of my top operatives living in a rat-hole at the other side of town, here are the keys of your new apartment in the shinobi section of the town. Remember, fourth tower, door 201."

He couldn't believe it, a promotion and a new apartment in one day! "T-thanks Baa-chan…" he said in his shock.

Tsunade nodded "No problem gaki, now get out of here!"

At training ground 3

Naruto was resting under a tree in deep thought, right now he was having an internal discussion weather he should be excited or worried about his promotion. Sure ANBU were la crème de la crème of the shinobi, besides the fact that it granted him a new apartment, but he knew from Kakashi that the life of an ANBU was hard, and probably short. Still he was glad, after all it meant he was closer to his dream.

He wasn't surprised of the sudden kunai flying at him, which he dodged without hesitation. Looking at the direction from where the kunai arrived, he saw a smirking Anko walking towards him "You have gotten better gaki" she said in a mocking tone.

"Hey Anko" he said a bit flatly, still concerned about his previous train of thoughts.

Anko noticed the flat tone in the normally loud boy "¿Worried Gaki?" she said, letting clear that it was more a statement than a question. He nodded slowly, looking at the box beside him.

She saw were he was looking and smiled "Don't worry too much gaki, if half of what I heard about you is true then you will have nothing to worry about.", it was true, in the last year Naruto had made a name for himself, he was the only Chunin that had completed 2 S-ranked missions with only a couple of scratches on him.

He took the missions when they were still B ranked, but for some circumstances they reached S-ranked.

Nevertheless, Naruto did remarkably well in both of them.

Another reason for his promotion was that he had the largest mission success rate so far in all of his generation, having completed: 2 S-rank, 18 A-rank, 34 B-rank, and 63 C-rank.

The only reason he wasn't a Jonin already was that he was on a mission during the jonin exams.

Naruto was being guided by Anko across the Anbu headquarters. The place was full of equipment counted and ready for use, with several training grounds in the form of dirt feilds

As they reached the center of a training ground, they were met by an ANBU. "Uzumaki Naruto" the ANBU said "Your ANBU exam will be held immediately. The exam will be divided into 3 stages, the first one is a Taijutsu duel, the next one is Ninjutsu, and last Genjutsu." he said.

Naruto nodded "Who will be my opponent then?" the blonde asked. "Your opponent will be me…"

He heard Anko whisper behind him. He slowly turned only to find a smirking Anko behind him

He gulped 'Oh Kami' he thought as he saw the devilish grin on her face.
