Chapter 1

This is my Nindo

"Nee Nee, Ken-sempai, I will become Hokage someday, and then everyone will know how great Konoha is."

"Maybe."

"Maybe… MAYBE, no way, I will become Hokage, I swear, this is my Nindo. Nee, nee, Ken-sempai, watch 'me, okay?"

"Okay, Ara-chan…"

Ken swiftly awoke from his sleep. After tucking Naruto into his bed, he decided to sleep on the couch since he never registered at a hotel. He entered the bedroom to look in on Naruto. 'You can still see some of Lynne and Bart within him,' Ken thought as he remembered the past. 'Bart and Lynne, Ken, Ryu, Arashi, and now Naruto. Have I live that long? I never would have thought it possible, but then, I never really thought I would be able to defeat Raoh.'

Naruto stirred, "no, no, leave me alone, I'm sorry," he mumbled.

Ken went to the bed and slowly cradled Naruto. 'He has had a bad life here; I can't just leave him, and forget what I saw. But my life is dangerous, even though I am considered a myth, do I still want to give this life to anyone else.' He paused as he stroked Naruto hair, remembering when he had to watch over Arashi. 'Arashi always did look to the bright side of life. To think that he trusted these 'people' with his son, shows how blinded he was the darker side of humanity. But still, Naruto does have the Void, the question is whether I want to train anyone with my style. Do I want to unleash the Chaos once again?'

As Naruto calmed down, Ken tucked him back into bed. For the rest of the night, Ken debated with himself about unleashing the only style the ever changed the world from darkness back to the light.

Naruto awoke with a start, believing that he was once again in the hospital, he was startled to find himself in his own room. 'Let's see, I was being chased, I was cornered, someone threw a rock, and then…' With a start, he remembered the man who saved him and treated him to a great dinner of Ramen. 'I probably won't see again,' he despaired, 'Once he hears about what the others call me, he will never look at me again.' Naruto felt so alone, for once he wanted a friend someone who will be there for him. The old man was nice but he could never stay for long, and everyone else seem to be against him. Naruto hated to be alone, he would do anything to stop this feeling. Naruto looked at his wrists, how many times have I tried to cut myself. He took a deep breath, 'Why, why do people hate me so?'

Ken awoke early in the morning to begin making breakfast for Naruto and him. As he prepared breakfast, he notice a large amount of instant ramen packages within Naruto's kitchen shelves. 'Is this all he eats?' Ken decided to head to the store, once there he bought enough food for Naruto, Sarutobi, and himself.

As he reached the counter, the clerk looked at him. "My this is a lot of food, is it all for you?"

"No, I am having breakfast with Naruto today."

"Why would you want to have breakfast with that… demon?"

"I'm sorry, demon?"

"Everyone knows that kid is no good, a waste of space. We should have kil…"

The last part of the statement ended within the throat of the clerk as Ken grabbed him by the throat and began to squeeze. The others within the store saw what was going on and froze as Ken unleashed his touki. Some of the ninjas who were there, attempted to reach for their knives when the touki froze them as well.

"DO NOT ever speak about Naruto like that ever again. If you do, it will be the last thing you will ever do again." Ken said in a deadly quiet voice that traveled throughout the store. All who heard, trembled as they wondered who this man was and why did they feel so powerless before him.

Ken dropped the clerk, and watched as he scrambled away. After gathering the food, Ken left the store, and made a decision regarding Naruto and Konoha.

As Ken finished with breakfast, he felt a large amount of depression emanating from the bedroom. 'It looks like he's awake.' "Naruto, are you getting ready for breakfast."

The voice awoke Naruto from his depression. 'He's still here. Why? Want a minute… BREAKFAST!' Let it be known that the one thing Naruto loved as much as being a ninja was eating. After scrambling out of bed and getting himself ready for the day, he lunged out of the bedroom, only to see Ken smiling at him with a feast on the kitchen table.

"Sugoi…" Naruto said as he scrambled to the table. "Itadakimasu," he said, as he was about to eat.

"Wait Naruto," Ken said, "We are waiting for someone."

"Demo… who?"

"He will be here, short… He's here now."

"Hello Naruto, Ken," exclaimed Sarutobi.

"Oya, old man, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.

"He is here to have breakfast, Naruto. Please be more polite, after all he is a guest." Ken said.

Sarutobi chuckled, "It's alright. After all Naruto and I know each other well right Naru."

"Mm," replied Naruto and he shuck his head.

"Very well, let's eat shall we," Ken said as he sat down to eat.

After the meal, Ken led them to the cliff where the heads of the Hokage overlooked Konoha. He, then, turned to them and spoke, "Naruto what do you plan to do with your life?"

Naruto thought, 'What do I want to do… What do I want to do…?' He remembered the time that he and the old man were looking at the mountain. He remembered what the old man had said, and he remembered what he said afterwards. 'Do I really feel that way… Do I really want to be Hokage…'

Ken and Sarutobi looked on as Naruto took his time to answer the question. "Why did you ask him that?" Sarutobi questioned softly, "What do you hope to accomplish?"

Ken glanced at Sarutobi, "I ask because I want to know… Because I may have found my heir."

Sarutobi was stunned, 'Naru… heir,' "Is that possible… Why now, why Naru…"

"He has the ability, and from what I have heard from your villagers, some time away could be helpful to both the village and Naruto." Ken continued, "The villagers need to be taught that Naruto is special, you can help them to understand. The time away will help the villagers forget what happened. Naruto, he needs to be away, he needs to be removed from the hate. To find out what it is like to be loved and acknowledge, if he chooses to come with me, I will help him grow."

Sarutobi nodded, he knew that what Ken had said was right. Without Naruto to remind them of the Kyuubi, the villagers will forget. Not forgive, however, that may come later. Also, he did notice that Naruto was beginning to close himself off of people. This was dangerous, because without that connection, he could lose himself in depression and possibly kill himself later on. 'Naru… please choice wisely.'

Naruto finally looked at Ken, and with a firm stance, he said, "I will become the Hokage, I will have everyone acknowledge me."

Ken nodded, "Very well, gather your things. Meet me at the main gate of the village, by noon. You will start your journey today." With that he turned around and walked away.

Naruto was stunned, who was this man who wanted him to leave the village. He turned to Sarutobi hoping for an answer.

"He is a great and powerful man, Naru… He can teach you things that no one in this village, no in this world can. I would take him up on his offer." Sarutobi said, as if reading Naruto's mind. He then turned to Naruto, "Naruto promise me, that you will learn all you can from him. Grow and become strong, and when you come back I will take you out and you can tell me of your adventures okay."

Naruto nodded. He was stunned, to be chosen by this man must be an honor if what the old man had said was correct, then he would be able to fulfill his dream. He thanked the old man for his time and immediately went home to pack all of his things: clothes, money, and some ramen, just in case. He took one last look at his home, he wondered if he would ever step back into this place. For a second, just a second, he reconsidered and thought about staying, but then he remembered his oath, his words, his nindo… With that thought, he closed his door, locked the door and ran to the front entrance, with a smile on his face, and wrapped in the knowledge that he was starting his first steps towards his dream.

After talking with Sarutobi and getting a pass to allow Naruto to return to Konoha, he went to the front gate to await Naruto. 'Bart, Lynne, I hope you understand. Naruto has the possibility of fulfilling his dream, but I must wait and see if he can fulfill mine.' He had come to Konoha to find out how Arashi was doing, only to take his son away from the village. Ken shook his head. 'It is for the best, for Naruto and Konoha.' He did not have long to wait, as he heard Naruto yell out to get his attention. He turned as saw Naruto running with a big grin on his face.

Once Naruto was next to him, Ken looked at him. "Are you sure that you want to do this. You will not see this place for a long time. There is still time for you to change your mind and stay here if you choose."

Naruto shook his head, "No, I will become the Hokage, I will have everyone recognize how great I am. This is my way, my oath, my Nindo."

Ken nodded, "Okay then, let's go."

Ken and Naruto turned away from the gates of Konoha. One with thoughts of determination and of being the best there is. The other with thoughts of finally finding… an Heir.

Author's Notes: Touching nee, well Naruto is off. I know this is a short chapter but I wanted Naruto and Ken's decision to have it's own chapter. I wanted everyone to understand that this is a BIG thing. For both of them. I hope you understand, Naruto's decision will cause some major changes, and with the power of the Hokuto Shin Ken… Well let's say this will help him get that dream.

Next Episode: WHAT… YOU LIVE WHERE? Next time on Fist of Naruto, Naruto begins training, but first, Ninjas, ninjas, ninjas. It appears that there are some people that want Naruto dead. No not that group, closer to hope.

Next time on Fist of Naruto: Truth Revealed: I am the Fist of the North Star.
