Chapter 2: Meeting new people
Hiruzen sits behind the desk in the Hokage's office working through the infinite mound of paperwork that piles up the desk. He was tired, he had difficulty sleeping after speaking with Naruto the night before, he it off and glanced towards the desk clock, it read 11:42, 'I wonder what's holding Kurenai up? She should have reported in by now.'
As he finished his thoughts, a knocking was heard on the door, "Enter."
Kurenai stepped in the door, she was sporting a messy, untamed haircut and her normal clothing, which consisted in a mesh shirt in which over the top she layered patterned bandages.
"Ah, It's you Kurenai." Hiruzen surveyed her, "Did you see them?"
Hai, Hokage-sama." Kurenai replies.
"And?"
Kurenai shakes her head, "Not good I'm afraid Hokage-sama" She shifts slightly in her footing, "Both where not in any shape for conversation, one was maimed terribly and the whole of his left arm is gone from the shoulder. The second had head injuries, internal bleeding, and was in a comatose state when I saw him."
Hiruzen listened closely, shocked with what he heard, 'Did Naruto really do all of this.. .'
"Anything else?"
"That is all, Hokage -sama."
Hiruzen nods, "Very well, Kurenai-san."
Kurenai nods, turning on her heels to leave.
"One more thing, Kurenai."Hiruzen called, "Why where you late?"
Kurenai froze in place, she was close to the door leading out of the office. She sighed slowly "Asuma-kun..." she mumbled.
"Sorry, I did not catch that, Kurenai-san," Hiruzen smiled "Could you speak up?"
"Asuma-kun, Hokage-sama." Kurenai replied, a little louder.
"Sorry, I'm a little deaf in my right ear, please come again."
"Asuma-Kun..!" Kurenai has raised her voice, still with her back to the Hokage to hide her blush, "Sorry, Hokage-sama."
"You're dismissed, Kurenai."
Naruto was walking towards the Hokage's office. He had a bad time sleeping after the visit from the Hokage, a number of teenagers where throwing stones at the windows, yelling 'demon brat' and 'monster.' He never understood what they meant by that, but it hurt and he never got to play with anyone because of it.
Naruto stopped when he saw a woman come past, she was blushing furiously. The woman stopped just in front looking at Naruto.
"Oh, hello." She smiled at Naruto, looking down at him.
"Hello." Naruto looked up, staring at her eyes particularly, which where a brilliant crimson.
"You wouldn't happen to be Naruto, would you?" Kurenai smiles kindly at Naruto.
"Mhm" Naruto nods at the woman, tilting his head slightly at her "Who are you?"
Kurenai was slightly taken aback with the question, but smiles warmly at him "Well Naruto, I'm Kurenai."
"Kurenai..." Naruto screwed up his face making a mental note of the name, he then make a grinned "I like it."
Kurenai smiled at the comment, 'I know that he's the holder of the Kyuubi, but I could never see anything wrong with the boy..' She snaps out of her thoughts. "Oh, you must be looking for the Hokage, right."
"Right."
"He's in his office, Naruto-kun."
Naruto smiles and runs past, "Thanks, Kurenai-onesan!"
Kurenai watches as Naruto runs round the corner slightly shocked at what she just heard 'Kurenai-onesan?' The name made her smile, he continued to walk on, smiling happily 'Wait till Asuma-kun hears about this.'
Naruto walked into the office, looking straight at the Hokage sitting in his desk, who had resumed his paperwork.
"Jiji?"
Hiruzen looks up from the paperwork. "Ah, Naruto."
"You wanted to see me, Jiji?"
"Yes, Naruto-san. Take a seat" he gestures to a large cushioned chair in the corner of the room.
Naruto walks over to the chair, grabbing it and dragging it along the floor. Hiruzen winces slightly at the noise it made, and the marks on the floor. Naruto pulled the chair so it was on the opposite side of the desk, he leaps onto the chair, sitting cross-legged.
A short silence followed, Naruto stared at the Hokage.
"Naruto." Hiruzen began, "Are you aware of who the Shodai Hokage is?"
Naruto screwed up his face in concentration, 'Stupid question really,' Hiruzen thought, 'He starts the academy fully at six, so I'd doubt he would kn-'
"The Shodai Hokage was the founder of the Village, Jiji." Naruto began, "He was also a known as the 'God of Shinobi' and was also famous for his abilities. He also fought a Uchiha, called Madara, I think." Naruto smiled at the Hokage.
Hiruzen was completely stunned. He would never of thought how much Naruto knew of the Shodai Hokage, even if not in the academy.
"You are correct, Naruto-san." Hiruzen replied, "Do you know the name of his most famous ability or Kekkei Genkai?"
"Uhh..." Naruto screwed up his face in concentration again, "Root Release, or something."
"Close." Hiruzen smiled at Naruto, "It was actually called Wood Release, or Wood Style."
"Jiji?"
"Hm?"
"Why is this important?" Naruto looked at the Hokage, his face show clear signs of confusion.
"Because, Naruto." Hiruzen smiled, "You possess the ability of the Shodai Hokage."
"What you mean?"
"I mean, Naruto." Hiruzen continued, "You possess his Kekkei Genkai, the Wood Release."
Naruto's eyes widen, he looks down at both his hands. "I.. Have the Wood Release, Jiji?"
"Yes, Naruto-san." Hiruzen said, "And I plan to have to trained a bit before you enter the academy fully."
Naruto looked up from his hands, grinning at Hiruzen. "But how? No-one else has the Wood Release."
"That Naruto, is wrong." Hiruzen looks over to an ANBU, he is wearing a cat mask and nods slowly to Hiruzen.
Naruto looks at the ANBU slightly confused, but watches as he removes his mask. The man has brown hair, almond shaped eyes and a square jaw, on his head was a Konoha forehead protector, which has metal extending down to his chin, giving protection to the sides of his friend.
"Hello, Naruto-kun." The man walks forward and smiles at Naruto, "You can call me Tenzou."
"H-hello." Naruto looks at him, his smile widening. "Nice to meet ya'."
Tenzou smiles, "Hokage-sama, I wish to begin his training as soon as possible, I wish for him to learn the basics before he enters the academy."
"I will allow you to do this." Hiruzen nods, "I will also place you on a year's leave from ANBU so you can train to boy."
Tenzou bows, "Thank you, Hokage-sama." He then turned to Naruto. "Today we will get to know each-other, but tomorrow we start training, alright?"
Naruto nods, giving a wide smile. "Okay, Tenzou-sensei!"
