(NOTE Naruto did not join akasuki he wears the clothes because he killed all of the members.)
Naruto is watching the children at play and smiles. His clothes are a black akasuki robe with two arming swords one clipped in a sheath
to his side the other "Do you remember when we were that young Sakura?
Sakura jumps from the tree. "I don't like it ever since you became a candidate for Hokage you don't act like yourself your never going
to give me a reason to hit you are you?" "I guess not" Naruto laughs. He looks at the children again. "Their my responsibility now I have
to protect them" Sakura looks at him funny "that's a weird thing to say since you've been gone for four years." Naruto looks at her "I
was still weak, I went to train and get stronger, everyone including kakashi and the pervy sage were too soft on me I had to learn to
stand on my own if I'm going to protect this village." He laughs "you never answered my question." Sakura looks at the kids "I try to
forget…." Naruto looks sad "You shouldn't Sasuke died a hero and I wouldn't be strong if he wasn't my friend, he helped me in more
ways than I can count" She looked at him "You never told me if you took them did you? After his death, you became the only candidate
for Hokage but you left, you have them don't you" Naruto laughed "who would have thought I would be more like kakashi…" Sakura
looked angry and coldly said "Tsunade wants to see you, that is what I came here to tell you" She made a hand sign and disappeared in
a smoke cloud. Naruto looked shocked "I shouldn't have told her."
In the Hokage's office
Tsunade is looking at a report. Even though she still looks young her hair is whiter and there are small wrinkles on her face. Knock….
Knock…. Knock…. "Come in" Naruto walks in and stands at attention. "Naruto, you finally decided to come back cough…cough.."
"I started here the moment I heard. Is it true?" "Yes… I am dying and at 12:00 tomorrow you Naruto Uzumaki shall be the 7th Hokage
cough..cough… unfortunately Orochimaru did not die he made his first appearance in years here at the village were he poisoned me with
the same illness that killed his former heir Kimimaro." "Why don't you rest maybe Sakura should-" "Naruto I am the greatest expert in
medical jutsu and there IS NO CURE" " I apologize I'm just worried about you" Tsunade smiles "don't be I'm leaving in good hands,
though I would appreciate you changing your clothing." Naruto laughed "Before I left people were afraid these clothes because of the
organization they stood for, but now they rejoice because I protect anyone who needs it. I cant take these clothes off because if I did
then they would symbolize what I have tried so hard to change, they would symbolize fear." Tsunade laughed "still the stubborn optimist
I see. Very well but please do not wear them at the ceremony I want you to wear something very special." Tsunade made a few hand
signs. Poof. A closet appeared and opened and in it was the Hokage's armor. Naruto smiled " I would be honored." "There is one
more thing I must ask you." Naruto looked surprised "what?" "I need you to take on an A rank mission, you must help me go to the
waterfall village I must help someone before I die." "Yes granny Tsunade….who will be the leader?" Tsunade laughed "you of course
now go and get your team, your lucky that no one has missions today because a certain hero came back today." Naruto smiled "thank
you, I know just the team."
