Hey guys I decided to start uploading a little plot bunny I had the other day and its annoyingly buried in my head, I dunno if I'l continue writing it or I'l just write a chunk to get rid of the idea and set it up for adoption, so lets see what you guys think about it =3
Story Start
It was a normal average night for the village hidden in the leaves, night was chilly, crickets chirped, and the moonlight reflected beautifully in the various ponds along the village and illuminated the granite stone wall carved with the faces of the previous hokages.
Oh and there was a massive red fox made of chakra outside the village being confronted by the current hokage.
Maybe it wasn't so average a night.
"I know what you want to say... but Jiraya-sensei spoke of the world undergoing a revolution, and with it a great disaster!" came the voice of the tired blond hokage as he spoke to his wife who currently was restraining the nine-tails with her chakra chains, "Tonight I've confirmed two thing, the first is that the masked man the one who attacked us is the harbinger of that great disaster" he spoke dreadfully "and the other is that Naruto will be the one to stop him, the jinchuriiki who will blaze the trail of our future, I... I just know it" he said with determination in his eyes much to his wife's shock.
"Bu-but Minato!" Kushina said worriedly the bags under her eyes denoting the true exhaustion she was going through "that jutsu, your soul! And Naruto!" she pleaded tiredly.
"Have a little fate my love!" Minato said as he went through the handseals and slammed his hands on the ground "he is our son after all!" he yelled as the imposing figure of the Shinigami materialized behind him.
"After the jutsu is done I can seal what's left of your chakra and soul inside him, when he is ready to try and take control of the kyuubi I want you to be there for him and guide him along" he said with sad eyes.
"Please Minato there's no need for you to sacrifice your soul just so I can meet him for a few minutes when he is older" she said angrily in spite of her state "I wanted you to raise him! to be there for him!" she yelled as she coughed blood "why are you sacrificing Naruto just to preserve the balance of the tailed beasts to save the village, the country... why are you sacrificing your soul for me!" she yelled once more as tears streamed down her face.
Minato remained quiet for a moment before he said "Because turning your back on your country... on your village is just as bad as abandoning a child, you should know that, you saw your own country fall apart, you know the pain of growing up without a home of your own, and because we are a family... of Shinobi!" he said with determination glinting through the bags under his eyes "besides even if I lived I could never be a substitute for you, there are things that Naruto needs to be told, things that I could never say myself, that's the job of a mother and I want you to carry it with our son, even if it costs me my soul, I want you to be able to tell Naruto that we will always love him, even if it is even for the faintest of moments" he said with a smile as he kneeled and took Naruto in arms "besides dying to provide a better future for your child? That's the stuff you let a father handle"
Kushina cried silently as she knew Minato was right and from through the fourth's body the menacing hand of the Shinigami materialized in the mortal plane extending towards the chained beast and draining it of half of its chakra much to its ire.
Minato proceeded to begin the sealing of the fox's other half when it noticed that due to its reduced size the chains had loosened, taking advantage the fox lifted a claw and attempted to interrupt the sealing however due to the quick actions of both the hokage and his wife, the claw did not reach its next vessel before the chains tightened around him once more "Minato you stupid idiot... for the first time ever, you won an argument with me" she said tearfully as she along the fourth hokage had been stabbed through by the Kyuubi's claw.
Minato weakly laughed "I can't say I am happy about it though" he said as he summoned the seal toad Gamatora, a tearful goodbye later both parents used the last of their dying willpower to finish the sealing and banish the fox into Naruto, however that was not the end of the story.
"I knew sticking around would have its use" came the voice of the masked man who warped himself into existence before the crying child and the corpses of his parents, the man viewed the corpse of the blond man and his sight lingered for a moment as if making a silent mourn for him, the previous hokage and the remaining ANBU could do nothing about it as the barrier was slowly disappearing from that place slow enough for them not to be able to enter it, the man the limped his way to the child and examined the seal in his stomach.
"So they split the chakra in half huh? that's certainly bothersome, and it's a uzumaki seal that's not going to be easy to break ad I'm afraid I don't have the time, chakra or energy to do so, my safest bet is to at least loosen the seal , make it so both parts of the fox are inside him after all it seems sensei sealed himself within the boy... how convenient" he then hear a crackling sound as the barrier around them became undone "no time for anything else then at least I can make extracting it easier by making sure the kyuubi is compete beforehand, rejoice child, I am giving you power beyond your comprehension, enjoy it even if it's only until I come to collect it again" he said as his finger lit up in a purple flame and he touched Naruto's seal, a sizzling sound came as the ink that formed the seal boiled and changed shape slightly all the while the child keep crying "that should do it, now to make my exit" he said as his body spiraled out of existence.
Sarutobi and the Anbu managed to reach Naruto just as the man disappeared, the previous hokage barked a few orders at the Anbu to track down the masked man as he kneeled next to the crying boy "I am sorry child" he said teary eyed as he gazed upon the corpses of the child's parents "no one should ever go through this especially one as young as you I am sorry, I promise you now I will make everything within my power to make your life as comfortable as possible...Naruto" he said as he hugged the crying baby the turmoil of the day distracting him from noticing as Naruto's seal glowed purple before it disappeared.
-Years Later-
The now reinstated third Hokage had made a promise that day and he had kept it, even if it wasn't as easy as he hoped it to be, Naruto was taken care of by several maid of the Sarutobi household and while he hardly saw the boy being busy with his job repairing all damages to the village, he knew the baby was being taken care of by his eldest son and his wife, who in spite of a promising early career had quit being a shinobi to be with his civilian bride.
At first he had planned to give the child to the orphanage to protect him and keep his identity undercover, however the fear of the masked man having done something to Naruto had kept him from such an idea, instead keeping the boy close, however something had worried him lately, Naruto was 4 years old, he was now at the age where children begun having their chakra system stabilized meaning Naruto would be releasing periodical bursts of chakra completely unintentionally, this was common among most children specially those that came from shinobi families however according to his son and some of the Sensor ninja he had kept around is clan house no such burst had happened, in fact the sensors had even gone as far as to wonder if the child even had chakra, as ridiculous as the thought was.
Of course his concerns had grown too much to bear lately and he had scheduled a appointment with one of the most skilled members of the hyuuga clan and the current leader of the branch family Hyuuga Hizashi, he would put the concerns at rest once and for all and he could go back to just worry about when to begin giving Naruto his first shinobi lessons.
-Hours later-
"What do you mean he has no chakra?" Hiruzen Sarutobi the god of shinobi yelled enraged at the Hyuuga who examined Naruto.
"Well... it's not that he doesn't have it, his chakra core is there and working properly, his tenketsu on the other hand can't handle it" the hyuuga said calmly in spite of having one of the most powerful shinobi in history yelling at him "not long ago I checked on a child with a similar problem, he could not mold chakra as his chakra coils were somehow atrophied and while he could channel chakra though his body he will never be able to mold it into jutsus" he said with a sigh watching the confused little boy "his situation is even more delicate, his chakra coils appear to have been burned out long ago", his core produces chakra but his coils cant process it and the chakra decomposes back into physical and mental energies, this child will never be able to use chakra at all, it pains me to say it but he will never become a ninja" he said without a hint of hesitation looking straight at the hokage.
The third hokage, god of shinobi, the professor, and the student of both shodaime and nidaime hokages, fell to his knees in defeat once he came to the realization of Naruto's condition, how did he not notice it before? he could´ve done something to help, called Tsunade, undo whatever the masked man had done, but it was too late now, Naruto's chakra core had matured and his body would never be able to use chakra, he had failed Minato and Kushina, he had failed what Biwako died for, and he had lost once more to the masked man, the realization was hard on him and he clutched his chest as his heart stopped beating, The hyuuga jumped into action pumping chakra into his heart to ease the pain and prevent full cardiac arrest but the damage to his heart was done and irreversible, and Hiruzen wished it was just his physical heart the one that had been damaged.
-Years later-
An explosion ravaged the room as the windows broke from the pressure, glass rained down the aisle and he was sure he'd get yelled at again by his landlord, it was an average everyday for one Naruto Uzumaki, another of his experiments exploded, the landlord yelled at him and the old man or his family would visit to check out on him after they hear of the explosion, much to Naruto's annoyance "Cant they trust me to be fine? I've been in kami knows how many explosion I should have Iwa's baku kinjustsu, although it would be freaky to have those hand tongues" Naruto said as he patted the soot and grime of his clothes.
It had been two years and a half since he moved out of the Sarutobi household he was now a fully fledged teenager at the ripe old age of 12, heck some of the people of his age were about to graduate from the shinobi program to make trained killers, could the sarutobi family chill for a second? He liked the attention but he needed to be self-sustainable.
Naruto cleaned up the charred remains of his experiment as he waited to hear the familiar banging of the door, however it seems the Landlord wasn't coming today "Good that should buy me time to fix thing up and maybe I'll avoid the lecture this time" he said as he scratched his head in thought, his scraggly blond locks covered in dust "maybe I should take a bath after clearing the glass" he said as he looked at area zero to see if something of his experiment survived the explosion however as he viewed the charred remains his normally apathetic eyes widened and a smile split his face in half "YES! It worked I am a genius! Hahaha!" Naruto said with joy as he held a tiny piece of something a crystal looking thing that glowed orange and was traslucid, he yelped as he dropped it on the ground "Ow! It's hot!" he said as he blew o his hands before taking out a recording tape and saying "Note to self: Make security gloves to handle untested experiments" he said as he clicked the button and slipped the device into his coat.
Naruto took a mitten from the kitchen as he took the glowing crystal and dropped it on the sink quickly, pouring water onto the device Naruto watched it as the crystal became a solid plaque of some transparent material "Hmm my glasteel seems to be a success" he said picking it up and attempting to break it only to meet with failure "resistance is about the desired level" he said looking at it over "I'll test the other properties later, the point is I succeeded and I can finally go into the next phase of my research" he said with a smile as he moved to the shower to wash away the dirt and grime.
After a refreshing shower Naruto stood in the living room looking over the piece of fabricated glass while sipping on a cold soda "You seem to be working just the way I want you to, ha-ha everything's coming up Naruto" he said with a goofy grin, with this old man Saru has to let me become a shinobi" he said admiring the glass against the sun light "And I'll be one step closer to take that cool hat" he laughed mirthfully.
"Yo! Saru-Ojiichan" came the voice of the blond who was excited as opposed to his normal appearance.
"This can't be good" mumbled the 3rd hokage "Hello there Naruto-kun do you need something?" he smiled at his pseudo-grandson.
"You got to let me be a shinobi! I just finished my latest experiment and it was a total success!" Naruto said excitedly.
The third narrowed his eyes suspiciously "You blew up the apartment again didn't you?"
"Only a little" Naruto adverted his gaze "and it's fixed now anyway... please let me be a shinobi you promised" he pleaded to the old man.
"No means no Naruto, and the promise was if you managed to defeat a shinobi in combat I would consider making you a shinobi" he said sternly
"Oh come on! I am ready now pit me against any shinobi (lower than jounin) and I swear I'll hand their asses back to them in a silver platter" he said with puppy dog eyes.
The aged hokage narrowed his eyes and said slowly "Are you sure Naruto? I told you I'd only ever give you one chance" he said trying to intimidate Naruto into retreating.
With a glint of challenge in his eye Naruto firmly nodded "Hell yes I am! Bring it on! Dattebayo" he said excitedly
'Great!, even his verbal tick was back, he is totally serious' Thought the old man as he sighed "Fine if you manage to defeat the shinobi I choose I'll let you join the graduating class" 'I'll just have a chunnin give him a trashing around and keep him safe within the village, perhaps a special Jounin, like Ebisu, Anko and a few others, though Tonbo and Anko would probably be overkill' thought the old hokage as he debated whether or not to accept Naruto's request, with a shrug the hokage decided Ebisu would prove enough. "note that tomorrow is the graduation exam of the current generation of Konoha so most chunin are either out in missions or helping at the academy, so I am pairing you against a Special Jounin and its going to be today are you sure you want to continue?" he asked of his surrogate grandson one last time.
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard special jounin but his expression immediately turned into an smug face "Challenge accepted" he said as he shook hand with the old man.
The old Hokage sighed sadly in his mind 'I'm sorry Naruto what I'm doing might seem cruel but it's better you stop wanting to be a ninja and stay safe within konoha' he thought as he shook Naruto's hand debating in his mind which shinobi to pit against the reckless blond boy, it took him little before settling his mind to use the safest bet for all involved parties 'Ebisu should be the safest bet he is the weakest of the special jounin but even that should be enough to deter Naruto' thought the old kage.
"Call Ebisu and tell him to report to me right away" the old man said sternly to an ANBU next to the door "Naruto your opponent will be ready and will face you in the third training ground at 5pm" he said a plan in motion in his mind.
Naruto grinned widely and he took off at an amazing speed while shouting "I've got to get ready thanks for letting me be a ninja old man" his words his words died out as he disappeared from view down the hallways of the tower, the Hokage could only rub his temples in view of the energy his surrogate grandson could display.
"Are you sure it was wise Hokage-sama?" came the voice of one of the ANBU in his office "the latest psychometric tests show Ebisu-san is one of the shinobi who view Naruto-san as the fox" she said with concern in her voice.
"That was precisely why I picked him cat, you and your squad will make sure Naruto isn't wounded but Ebisus aggressiveness and his open hostility of the fox will surely serve to intimidate Naruto further" the old man said as he smoked his pipe blowing circles of smoke into the air.
"Hai Hokage-sama" she said as she understood the old kage's thought process 'age may be against him physically but his mind is as sharp as ever' she mused looking at the scheming old kage.
-Hours Later in training ground 3-
Naruto stood there in the field next to the three stone pillars, he was currently stretching while checking his attire, he was wearing pretty standard shinobi gear in black however he was wearing a white lab coat on top of it, and on closer inspection most of Naruto's accessories were died orange, including his kunai pouch, the skeleton-like marks on his black gloves and some straps tied around his torso.
His musings were interrupted as he noticed the old hokage coming along a couple of ANBU and a shinobi dressed in standard shinobi attire plus a bandanna and sunglasses, Naruto could feel the shinobi's thinly veiled disdain directed at him with ease, and he thought it had to be some sort of ploy made by the old man possibly to intimidate the boy into giving up, Naruto saw through it like glass and just smiled at his opponent's arrival.
Once the old kage and his entourage reached him he an Naruto exchanged greetings and the hokage presented the shinobi who would test Naruto's combat prowess "This is Ebisu, he is a chunin of some renown as an excellent strategist, and for what I hear, a great teacher, I am hoping his area of expertise can help you understand that even someone who isn't combat focused must still be above competent" he said barely hiding his disbelief in the blonds' combat abilities, and with good reason, being unable to use chakra or even properly have it, made the blond impossible to teach how to fight as a shinobi, physical skills could only take one so far before chakra was involved at least to enhance physical combat as proven by a certain other promising gennin who was currently under one of his most trusted jounin, Naruto's disability made it impossible for him to become anything more that what a civilian could accomplish, and much to the old man's sadness he had to cut his dreams short in order to keep him safe "as we agreed before, should you defeat him in combat I will not only accept your integration into the shinobi program but promote you to chunnin, whereas should you impress him or me you will be considered able to join the program as an academy student, however" the old man paused here looking at Naruto straight in the eye "should you fail to defeat or impress either him or me, you will desist your attempts at entering the shinobi program, you will go to a normal civilian school and cease meddling with what you can't understand"
Naruto looked at the old man as he said his little speech however he wasn't really paying attention, instead his attention was focused on his opponent, his breathing, his movements, the way he carried himself and such, soon the hokage stopped his rant and called him and the Tokubetsu Jounin to their positions much to Naruto's enjoyment, assuming their positions Ebisu looked confident and even uninterested in the event, and Naruto's own demeanor mirrored his as Naruto stood up with his hands in his lab coat pockets with a lazy eye expression and a slight smile.
"Hajime!" yelled the old man as he signaled the start of the battle.
In contrast to his apparent demeanor, Naruto's opponent started rather hastily throwing a few shuriken his way which Naruto dodged easily by sidestepping with minimal effort, the jounin quickly launched himself against Naruto intend on catching him off-balance however Naruto managed to avoid his grasp with ease, tossing a few more shuriken and attempting once more to catch the child, the special jounin was confronted with only more failures.
Ebisu briefly considered the course of the battle as he noticed Naruto was easily avoiding all his attempts to catch him, attributing this to mere luck and or good speed on the child, Ebisu made another failed attempt before he decided to up the ante, jumping backwards, he released a hail of shuriken and kunai, intent on at least harming the boy unlike his initial throws to disbalance the child, the result however was met with nothing again as Naruto dodged the projectiles with ease, even those he had thrown to predict his dodging movements.
Naruto smiled as his opponent took a pause and simply said "is it my turn yet?" he said almost with mocking disinterest as he raised his hand and pointed it at the tokubetsu jounin, a blur came from his sleeves as a hail of black shuriken rained down on Ebisu, far too many and too fast for a boy of his age, build and apparent skill could throw.
Ebisu to his credit dodged the shurikens quickly once his surprise fell, however he was distracted as the kunai that hit the ground soon exploded allowing Naruto to nail him with two black Kunai of a strange thin design, the kunai didn't strike him directly however they grazed him on the arms slicing his sleeves and leaving a thin bleeding cut in his arms "was that enough to impress you?" Naruto asked innocently which infuriated the distraught Jounin.
The special Jounin charged at Naruto his hands blurred into various handsigns decided on not taking it easy against the blond anymore, those cuts had barely hurt but they certainly wounded his ego, once he was close enough Ebisu stopped and breathed out a great ball of fire that hurled against Naruto with a cry of "Katon! Gokyaku no jutsu!" This didn't sit well with the hokage whose expression turned into rage and had to be contained by the ANBU from jumping and ripping the special Jounin a new one.
Naruto smirked as the fireball closed in on him, and he visibly tensed before the place he was in was engulfed in flames, the raging inferno soon died out leaving a barren smoking ground in its wake but no signs of the coat-wearing child much to everyone's confusion, a small tap on his shoulder made Ebisu turn around only to be tossed away courtesy of a rather strong punch to the face.
Naruto stood there grinning while Ebisu fell to the floor, his glasses broken as well as his bleeding nose, $Ebisu cursed under his breath, he had reinforced his defense using chakra and yet they kid had broken his nose and tossed him a good distance back with sheer brute force, the Tokubetsu Jounin straightened his thoughts and stood up before his hands blurred through more handseals "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!" this time multiple smaller balls of fire were tossed towards Naruto who instead of dodging them like he had with the shuriken and the great fireball before, instead he reached into his coat and revealed that the straps he wore were to hold two sheathed ninjato on his back.
Naruto steeled himself on the ground as he used his blades with a skill few would possess with years of practice, he managed to deflect each attack headed his way, revealing hidden shuriken within the fireballs these shuriken impacted against the ground or nearby trees setting a few on fire, his hands looked like a blur as he deflected each and every single fireball however he never stopped grinning.
Naruto laughed once the attack ended "I will admit hiding kunai in those was brilliant Ebisu-san, however ineffective it was against me" he said as he sheathed the ninjatos on his back once more, and he pointed at ebisu again with his right hand "you showed me an interesting application of a basic fire jutsu, I will repay the favor showing a fire skill of my own" Naruto said as a strange glowing orange structure formed around his arm the structure moved a bit before a glowing orange sphere covered in flames was tossed Ebisu's way.
Ebisu's instincts kicked in as he noticed the sphere was leaving a trail of flames as it soared through the air, as je jumped sideways however the ball curved and tracked him where he landed, his instincts saved him again as managed to roll sideways and avoid the direct impact of the sphere which exploded into a ball of flames as it hit the ground, however while he was not hit e still got scorched and he could feel the heat from that blast, his rage blinded the tokubetsu jounin then as the boy who could not use chakra was suddenly tossing fireballs he couldn't help but think of it having something to do with the fox and the shinobi snapped.
"You damned fox!" Ebisu yelled as he charged forward once more his hand rushing through various seals that ended in him being engulfed in fire as he charged Naruto like a human comet, Naruto was shocked by this but his face was more excited than scared, and as Ebisu collided with the blond he saw the explosive power of his charge being stopped by the boy who had unsheathed and crossed his blades, blocking the blazing punch the two of them were in a stalemate for a second although it felt longer to them, Ebisu's punch pushed Naruto back a bit, his feet leaving a trail of upturned ground for a few inches however Naruto soon overpowered Ebisu's attack as he tossed the special jounin back as the flames dispersed.
Naruto grinned proudly as he defeated the attack as he pointed at the tokubetsu Jounin laying on the ground as the orange glowing structure over his arm appeared once more however this time Ebisu who had been getting up from the ground, screamed as he suddenly was shocked by several volts of electricity which left him twitching unconscious in the ground, Naruto smiled as he dusted his clothes off only to turn and face the shocked Hokage and the Anbu who were left with their mouths hanging comically, Naruto rolled his eyes with an amused expression "Well old man I believe we had a deal?" he smirked triumphantly as the body of the jounin twitched on the ground once more.
-Later that day-
The hokage stood in his office smoking like a madman and circling his chair without actually sitting "So let me get this straight, you knew all along I would pair you against someone higher than a chunin and yet you still wanted to fight?" the old man said as he rubbed his headache away.
"Pretty much yeah, I had to test several of my skills in combat anyway, and practice beats theory at least in the fun department" Naruto smirked as he sat in the old man's office, idly swinging his feet from the chair.
"How did you do those things you did, I am sure no one trained you and you sure as hell can't use chakra, or even have it for that matter" The old man said as he looked straight at Naruto.
"Well... ever since I was little I knew that I was faster and stronger than most people, one day I say a weird guy in green clothing punch out a tree by the park and followed his example, I knew it was stupid but I was 4 and wasn't thinking straight, needless to say my hand grew numb after that, however I lifted my head after the initial pain passed and noticed I had left a deep impression of my fist into the tree, I knew I had too much strength and decided to train that on my own, same with my speed and endurance, all pretty much self-taught" he said proudly as he puffed up his chest.
The hokage looked at him disbelievingly however he suddenly felt the need to hit Gai however Naruto continued his explanation "As for the "jutsu" I used" Naruto said making air quote movements with his fingers "It's actually one of my technology tricks, same with the kunai" he said as he lifted his sleeve and revealed a strange gauntlet he was wearing, this is what I call the Omni-tool" he said making the orange structure appear once more "it's my single greatest invention, it can do pretty much everything, hence the name" Naruto said showcasing his invention much to the awe of those present.
One such person, an Anbu wearing a Tanuki-like mask looked at Naruto as if asking permission before trying to touch the orange projection, but as his hand went through it like it wasn't there Naruto merely laughed "It isn't actually there Anbu-san, it's just a Hologram, a visual aid form my calculations, I can feel it because of this special glove" he said as he was apparently typing stuff into the circle on his hand and from the structure a light begun making a black shuriken above Naruto's wrist, the shuriken fell to the ground with a thud making itself seem solid enough.
One of the Anbu picked it up and examined it noticing the shuriken was not only real and made of a very sharp metal but it was thin and had a strange honeycomb pattern engraved on the sides "that's my mini-fabricator" Naruto said poking the device on his wrist, the omnitool wouldn't be complete without it, it allows me to create simple 3d structures instantaneously from a bunch of different elements and materials loaded into these cartridges, Naruto said taking one of small canisters from the device, the Hokage extended his hand to grab the device but as Naruto gave it the old man's hand fell against the table from the weight of it "yeah the Onmigel cartridges are kind of heavy but I'm working on it" Naruto said as he hokage lifted the canister to examine it with more strength than before.
The hokage was impressed but still asked Naruto "okay so that can somehow make weapons and such out of nothing but how did you make that fire jutsu?" he asked handing back the tank to Naruto who loaded it back into the gauntlet with ease.
"I am not making a jutsu but rather something similar, I created a glass sphere and filled with a highly volatile gas using my onmitool and tossed it towards the jounin, the sphere is programmed to follow its target even if it moves slightly and when reached the thin glass cracks and using the propulsion fire the thing will explode in flames, I like to call that skill "Incinerate" sounds cool to me at least" he said.
The Hokage immediately saw the potential in his invention as access to chakra-less jutsu would certainly aid greatly his shinobi however his musings were interrupted by Naruto "I know what you are thinking old man but no one else can use this technology, its integrated into my own person so it can't be replicated, at least not now, maybe in the future I can adapt it so normal people can use the technology but it's going to take a while" Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head "Oh and it has nothing to do with the biju in my gut, the power source is something entirely different" he said shrugging much to the Hokage's shock.
"How did you know about the fox Naruto!" he asked shocked "I made a law forbidding even mentioning it and I'm sure I didn't let you near such people that would disobey" he yelled as anger took over him slightly however Naruto calmed him down with a smile.
"Now now let's not be hasty old man, your heart is weak remember we don't want you kicking the bucket yet" he said half laughing "as for how did I find out? well it's not that hard to figure it out really, my birthday is the same day the fox disappeared, I have a large seal in my belly and most civilians treat me with a caution they don't apply even to Konohamaru who is your actual grandchild, this awareness led me to investigate and connecting the dots it was easy, I also have a pretty damn solid idea on who my parents are though I'm not 100% certain on that one"
The hokage finally slumped back on his chair, a sigh of exhaustion released from his breath as realization took him, and he had spent the last 13 years protecting the child only to find out he didn't need his protection in the first place
"Well much to my chagrin you did pass our deal, so I will instate you as a shinobi in the program but you must understand there are certain protocols you must follow" the Hokage said as he looked at the blonde straight in the eyes "I can make you a gennin via my personal approval but in order to declare you a chunnin you must have various missions under your belt and field experience too, furthermore If I am making a special promotion outside of schedule I must inform the Firelord and get his seal of approval before that so it will take a while, you will become a chunin but I'd like for you to get some experience first, all the teams are done already but I can squeeze you in an apprenticeship and let you run missions with various gennin teams" the Hokage said as he rubbed his face once more "now get out of here and leave me to my thoughts I need to process the insanity of the problems you get me into" he said much to the mocking grin of Naruto "and get cleaned and a change of clothes we will go to the ramen bar later tonight" he said with a smile which the grinning blond returned.
And thus began the story of the true genius of the leaf.
Author's Notes:
that was it hahaha let me hear what you think about it with comments and such any criticism is welcome =3
