Chapter One

Faith

Naruto was decked out in his fathers trademark hokage cloak witch flailed and danced in the hard afternoon wind. Though he hadn't yet been coroneted correctly with the title yet he felt more at ease knowing that a part of his father was still with him. And he needed it now more then ever. For at that moment he was finely face to face with him. The man who over took the Kyuubi with his sharingan and shook his village 17 years ago andthe man who Diluted several minds with his lies and deception…Uchiha Madara.

The Valley of end where Naruto had first fought Sasuke all those years ago now lay in ruins. The two statues that faced each other across the fast waterfall, one of them of the first hokage Hashirama Senju, And the other Madara Uchiha himself, now stood with there upper body's smashed to nothing. The rubble covered over a fifteen meter radius around them. Madaras stone head lay nicely on top of his own pile, was it some kind of omen that Naruto's victory was immanent?. Naruto stood on the reaming half of the Hashirama statue. A grate irony is all he thought it was since it was already decide from the village and Tsunade sama's will that he was to be the next hokage.

his body was torn apart from using the Kyuubi and his chakra was nearly gone and the demon foxes cloak had dissipated.

With the Help of Yamato and the rest of the village he was able to train and master the Kyuubis chakra to the point he was able maintain all forms of control of the fox up to the fourth tail. But the toll it took on his body was still forever clearly present. The nerves in his arms were completely shot so hand seals and his Kage Bunshin technique were out of the question. And his fatigue was also vast, The weight of his spent body on his knees where dire. The cut laid across his face stung when his sweet came into contact and the still working nerves in his back gave off there vicious pain shots every few intervals.

"Finished already nine tails?" Said Madara from on the exposed waste of the opposite statue witch was of him as he was over a hundred years ago.

The bastard didn't want to admit it but he was also torn up. Wail Naruto was enveloped in fox mode all Medara could do was dodge and parry his claws and he nearly was vaporized when Naruto launched his chakra beam. He had only dodged it by almost a foot leaving it scorching and burning his skin like mad as well as sending him careening into the canyon wall. He hadn't counted, or even dreamed for that matter, that Naruto could tame such a horrid beats, let alone its horrible chakra.

"You should know by now that were both exhausted" Naruto scoffed at him.

"Shut up, I can still fight you" he said between pants and gasps. His head was gouged open slightly and he twitched in response to its agony.

Down below on a nearby shore Narutos friends were all lying either defeated or severely wounded. Ino just finished using the best of her medical ninjustu on Lee who's arm had been completely crushed by fallen rocks. When Madaras Mangekyou Sharingan wormhole was used to try and pull in Naruto. Naruto destroyed it by sending a chakra beam into it when in fox mode. It then exploded near a rock face and the mountain below it was smashed and the avalanche came down as well as sending huge boulders flying around the entire valley. Ino Herself had a broken arm and dealing with medical ninjustsu with out the use of both hands was immensely new to her. Her chakra control and arm made things go out of wake almost every moment of the processes. But the tendency not to let her will of fire flicker was inherited from Sakura but more dominantly from Naruto, who was still up there fighting with Madara with his body hashed.

Tenten and Kiba where laying down completely out cold and covered in blood. They were caught by one of Madera's jutsus as they attacked at the beginning of the fight. Pierced with what seemed to be summoned spears. Kiba suffered sever bleeding from one of the nerves in his leg when he was impaled there. Tentens condition however…was critical. She was stabbed and impaled straight through the middle of her stomach and hit the lake bed and sank over two meters before Gai sensei was able to reach her and bring her back to shore.

Despite her split open eyebrow, Hinata couldn't take her eyes off the two as they fought on the water as well as the mountain side and everywhere else in that area. Her boyfriend, the only person she ever loved, As well as the person who s always made her fell like she could do anything, was fighting with all he had and more. She wanted desperately to jump in and help him. And to find it within her to actually make a difference. But her intervention between him and Pain a year ago was more then enough resign to leave it to him and him alone. When Naruto saw that she was alive from the encounter after retuning from his confrontation with Nageto and the Akatsuki women Konan. He grabbed her close with tears flowing from his eyes and made her promise never to worry him or do something stupid like that again. Wail she was in his embrace she agreed. But she always wondered if she shouldn't have. And from that day on they were inseparable, no longer as just simple friends.

"Don't worry about Naruto" Ino said to Hinata as she began to heal the best of her own arm as she could. Hinata turned to Ino as she smiled "All we can do is have faith in him" She told her "Just like you, me, Sakura and all of us have always done"

Hinata frowned "I know but…"

"Ino's right" Tenten said as she finely regained herself, but just enough to talk. With those few words however blood was already dripping from her mouth "Naruto can handle this. We just have to have faith. After all…Its already been decided by the people of Konoha" Short pause "…He's our 6th hokage".
