-TIMESKIP- 2 Years- HOKAGE OFFICE-
It was dark in the leader of Konoha's office as he worked tirelessly to finish the large pile of paper that dominated almost every square inch of his desk, except for the small space to the elder Hokage's right where the fire shadows' hat sat almost eerily as light flickered from the candles across the kanji.
Suddenly Hiruzen felt a large influx in chakra across the room and quickly prepared to throw a chakra enhanced kunai at the young man who suddenly appeared in a black flash that seemed oddly familiar, just as an unnatural breeze hit the Kages' face and he almost let loose the kunai the figure spoke and stepped forward freezing Hiruzen.
"Hokage-sama I am ready for the Chunnin Exams." said a young boy stepping into the light you could now see he was dressed in standard ANBU attire barring the mask and instead of the usual single Katana, two were strapped to his back, his Konoha headband making his pitch black hair frame his face in a way identical to his father, the Yondaime Hokage.
'Naruto!" yelled the elderly man sitting across the room.
"Yes Hokage-sama" replied the now identified Uchiha calmly with a slight smirk.
"I almost killed you Naruto!" roared Hiruzen in anger.
Naruto smirked, shook his head and pointed behind the Hokage "I think not Hokage-sama."
Hiruzen look behind and gasped firmly implanted into the wood was something, he had not seen in two years….. something he never thought he would see again. Light flicked across the tri-pronged kunai behind the Hokage and Naruto smiled.
"So I see you recreated the Hirashin, how long have you known it Naruto." asked the Hokage with a slight shake in his voice.
" I have known how to use it for a year and nine months, but I only mastered it last week." replied Naruto with a thoughtful look.
"I see, why did you neglect to inform me shinobi!" yelled the old Kage with barely contained rage.
As killing intent flooded into the room from Hiruzen Naruto responded with a smirk "As clan head to the Namikaze and heir to the Uchiha Clan, I am able to withhold my abilities to the Hokage under the Clan Secrets' Clause of the First Hokage."
"But why wouldn't you tell me Naruto?" asked the Hiruzen with an edge in his voice.
Naruto slightly flinched at the Hokage's voice and responded with a look of sheer determination "I will not become known for imitating my father's jutsu I will develop my own, I do not want you to compare me to him Hokage-sama besides I've improved the Hirashin."
The Hokage's killer seemed to disapear instantly and his face softened "I understand Naruto-kun, but what do you mean by improved the Hirashin ? It's a perfect jutsu."
"I have my secrets Hokage-sama, but this isn't why I came here I want to take the Chunnin exams I'm ready Hokae-sama." spoke Naruto as he bowed his head in respect.
"Very well Naruto but I have a test before I allow you to enter the Chunnin exams, I have a team that I beliieve would be pefect for you, their teammate Hayate has contracted an illness and will be out of comission for at least a year. The next Chunnin exams is in a month, it will be held in Kumogakure, in order for me to allow you participate you must beat your new team includine their sensei in a three vs. one battle prove to me that you have what it takes Naruto and maybe you'll come back from Kumo as a Jounin rather than a Chunnin." said Hiruzen with a smirk. Naruto's eyes burned with a fierce determination that rivaled that of Madara Uchiha, Narutos Grandfather if Hiruzen remembered correctly.
"Of course Hokage-sama I won't disappoint you. Can you please tell me my new teams names though?" asked Naruto slowly.
"They are not your team yet Naruto." smirked Hiruzen
"….."
"However your opponents names are your "Sensei" Mina Senju and your two subordinates Itachi Uchiha, and Yugao Uzuki meet them at trainng ground nine tomorrow at seven, dismissed." said the Hokage with a smirk knowing Naruto had already found out why Mina would be relevant to him.
"Hai Hokage-same!" yelled Naruto as he disappeared in a black flash to the Namikaze estate.
"So" Thought Naruto as he removed his Katanas an ANBU armor "The last wood release user, who I'm expected to reproduce with, My slightly younger cousin Itachi and the pretty girl with purple hair who I bumped into two years. This is gonna be interesting."
