Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. So sad, isn't it? I wish I did, but I don't.


A woman stood over the city of Konoha. Her eyes were hidden by the hat that she wore, the hat declaring that she was the Hokage. She looked down upon the city, seeing the many shinobi walking about. It was a very peaceful day in Konoha. She had just remembered how she had arrived in the city to obtain the title; Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto had gone on a long look for her, just so she could become the Hokage. She had to admit, being an all powerful kage was fun (except for the paperwork, of course). She heard slow footsteps coming up to the roof of the building she was on. A man as tall as the woman walked up to her. He had a bandage covering his nose that went all around his head. He had very spiky hair that was almost untamable. He was a Chuunin, one of the many that worked for Konoha. He had a tactical green vest which a lot of the Chuunin and the Jonin wore, even though it was not required to wear it.

"Yes, Hagane?" The woman said aloud. The man bowed as the woman turned around, lifting the hat a little so her eyes could be seen.

"Tsunade-sama, the papers are here," Hagane said. "They require your signing and overlooking."

"Ugh, MORE paperwork?" The Hokage named Tsunade sighed. "I need a small break from all this work, or else I just might end up exploding."

Before Hagane could respond, another Chuunin appeared from behind him. His hair was covering his right eye, and the cloth part of his headband covered his scalp. Tsunade raised an eyebrow at his sudden appearance. He was also equipped with the green vest. He had a worried expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Kamizuki?" Tsunade asked calmly.

"Tsunade-sama," The Chuunin said, breathing heavily. "2 Genin have gotten into a fight and our Jonin can't even stop them!"

Tsunade lowered her eyebrow and sighed. "You're telling me that a Jonin can't stop a fight between 2 of our Genin?"

"It's Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke..." Kamizuki replied.

Tsunade sighed again. "Fine, I'm on it...where are they?"

"In the academy's courtyard," Kamizuki said.

Tsunade disappeared in a flash, Hagane and Kamizuki following right after. Naruto and Sasuke fighting...again? They had almost killed each other last time; luckily Kakashi was able to stop them. What would happen if a Jonin couldn't stop them this time?

"RASENGAN!"

A blonde haired boy ran toward his opponent, an orb of rotating chakra in his hand. He thrusted the hand forward, ready to strike his opponent. The other boy sighed and threw a kick moving the arm out of his way, then used his other leg to kick the blonde in the side of his face. The blonde fell to the ground, but got up quickly.

"KATON: GOKAKYU NO JUTSU!"

"GET HIM, SASUKE!" Ino screamed.

"Naruto, why do you always have to pick fights with him...?" Sakura said to herself.

"N-Naruto-kun..." Hinata saw the anger on Naruto's face and made a small frown.

The boy in the blue shirt opened his mouth and an incredibly large ball of flame came out. The blonde quickly side stepped out of the way and ran to his enemy, delivering a punch to the cheek.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared and Tsunade appeared. Behind her were Hagane and Kamizuki, and even Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai. "You two, stop this now."

Everyone watching the fight had suddenly stopped cheering.

The blonde haired boy, realizing that his fist was still on the other boy's cheek, quickly retracted the fist and relaxed it. The other boy wiped off some blood of his mouth, and fixed his hands in his pockets.

"Why in the world were you two fighting? AGAIN?" Tsunade asked, adding a tone in her voice that made her sound like she wanted an answer quickly.

"Well, Old Lady, Sasuke here thinks he's better than me!" The blonde haired boy replied almost instantly.

"And he was right!" A multitude of girls said at once.

"And that's a reason to start a fight and almost kill each other?" Tsunade said with a sigh in her voice.

"Well, I needed to prove it to him that I was, since I am!" The blonde haired boy stated.

"You aren't!" The same group of girls said.

The blonde haired boy simply ignored this.

Tsunade looked at the blonde haired boy with angry eyes. "If you really wanted a fight, Naruto, you could have at least asked someone to supervise it, like Iruka, or maybe even me."

The boy called Naruto zipped up his orange jacket taking the black undershirt underneath out of sight. He simply turned around and said, "Well, I needed to show him now."

The boy with the blue shirt and black hair stood silent.

Naruto quickly turned around and held up a fist. "THERE YOU GO ACTING COOL AGAIN!"

Tsunade sighed. "Sasuke, I'm angry at you too, for actually accepting his challenge."

The Uchiha stayed quiet.

Tsunade sighed another time and lowered her head. "What's so great about being the strongest ninja, especially if you're only a Genin?"

Suddenly multiple amount of answers came from the crowd.

"People know you're strong!"

"People fear you!"

"People treat you well!"

"You get noticed in the village."

Tsunade's head rose again with an eyebrow rose. Did being the strongest really mean so much to these Genin? They all wanted power. They all wanted the others to know they were the strongest. They all wanted to be noticed. She looked around and saw everyone chatting about what it meant to be strong and powerful. She then looked to Naruto and Sasuke who were facing the other direction.

"So you all want to be powerful then?" Tsunade said aloud, which quickly stopped the chit chat. This was followed by nods from all the Genin, even Naruto and Sasuke.

"Well, then...why don't we find out who really is the strongest?" Tsunade replied with a smirk on her face. "All who are interested meet me in my office in exactly 2 hours." Then like that, she disappeared. Hagane, Kamizuki, Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai then told everyone to go back to their homes and then they left themselves.

As Naruto left, Hinata looked at him leave and somehow managed a small smile on her face.
