Naruto, Combat Butler
Chapter 2
AN: It took some while but here is chapter two of my little project. I wanted to post a bit earlier, but the original Idea I had for chapter 2 were not in my liking and so I deleted it and decided to bring up new.
There is not much to add in this chapter. Maybe a few little things. I will use a different Council system. And there will be two OC. This chapter will not have action scenes, but it will be the start of Naruto's little trip and gives the reader a bit insight of the way I let the village run.
But enough with my words.
A few Hours before
Hiruzen looked through the round of the council members. The meeting was a short notice one. And only the Heads of the Shinobi clans and the Leader of the Security Sector of the Village were there.
"Lord Hokage. The interrogation of the Chunin Mizuki has finished and the things we gather don't look promising." the head of the inner and outer security of the village spoke. The man was Danzo. Head of Root and with that the head of the village security. Hiruzen turned his attention to Danzo. "Speak, Shimura." he said in a short way. Danzo nod and placed a file on the desk.
"The interrogation revealed that Mizuki and some other people, who will be arrested at them moment we speak, are part of a conspiracy against this village. Further information work around a lost leave of our own. Unfortunately this lost leave was one of your former Students. Orochimaru." Danzo said in his neutral voice. Hiruzen closed his eyes. This was one of his many failures. And next to Naruto, this was large as well. "It seems that we also have holes in our security that will be fixed. This is all for the task on the traitor and his helping hands. I want to move forward to a second task, based on one Uzumaki Naruto. Is it true that he turned his promotion to genin down?" Danzo asked.
Hiruzen looked to Danzo and nod. This was all he had to do. Danzo's expression turned dark. This was not expected. He knew about the Heritage and what value the boy has. If it is not for the demon he had sealed in him, it was the value of his blood.
"When i remember the boy had stolen the forbidden scroll. But was obvious tricked. Nothing against the boy but it was somehow stupid to trust Mizuki. I mean were was his instinct?" a female with a feral appearance asked. Hiruzen looked to the woman and wanted to answer but was beaten by Danzo by a second. "We know that the boy is not up to par with the children of the clan heads who attend this meeting. But we all know why the boy falled in such a trickery. It was the need of attention. But, when I remember it right Inuzuka Tsume, your young boy might fall in that trap as well. Mizuki was an expert with a silver tongue. So he knew how to pull the right triggers." Danzo said. Tsume looked a bit sour as he mentioned her own son. And it was true. Her son was an idiot as well.
"Further, the boy will not be punished. But Mizuki will. His execution will performed in three hours. But when we are talking about the boy i want to tell you what he had told to me." Hiruzen said and took a deep breath. "Naruto informed me that he wanted to take a civil possession. But we knew how thing will work. It is not that the civil part will give him that much of a chance. We knew about the talent he has. Even when his academic levels are worse." He said and looked to Inoichi and Shikaku. Shikaku opened a personal file that seemed to hold mostly all information on Naruto.
"Uzumaki Naruto, age 13, gender male. Known parents classified, but deceased. Current holder of the Kyubi no Kitsune. Clan Uzumaki, Second clan Classified. Medical records classified. Academic Report. Troublemaker and clown. Tends to skip classes. Secondary note based on surveilance of ANBU. The Boy were sabotaged by a handful of teachers. One of them were called Mizuki. Currently all teachers that had a hand in the sabotage of the boy are in custody, three of them wait for execution, two will get a memory cleaning and re-programming." Shikaku said and paused for a moment as he opened a second file. "Naruto abilities in genjutsu are worse. He will not perform this art thanks to his chakra pool and his tenant. He is unable to use low level ninjutsu, same reason with genjutsu. But with the right teacher he will improve. Same goes to Taijutsu. As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan Fuinjutsu should be in his blood. Current techniques known are a solid Henge labeled Sexy Justu. When I see it right this will find a way into the forbidden scroll. And the Shadow clones. A dangerous technique but thanks to his chakra pool he is able to do it to a high level." he added.
The room was silent as the file was read. Then Hiashi raised his hand to sign that he had a question. "What will we do to the boy. He is not able to work in the civil sector. His value and talents are too high to waste." Hiashi said. But before Hiruzen could answer Choza raised his hand. The Hokage signed that the Akimichi was allowed to speak. "I know that it might be against the protocol, but we should set the boy under arrest. Should he fall into the hands of our enemies they will use him against us." Choza said. Even when the idea sounded hard, most of the clan heads started to nod. The only people in the room that didn't showed a reaction were Danzo, Inoichi, Shikaku and the Hokage self.
"Thanks to his tenant sealing his memory will be out of the things we can do to lower the risk of losing the boy. Setting seals on him might interrupt the seal that keeps the demon inside of him. So the only point that could be done is arrest him and lock him away. and I don't think that would be a good choice. It would break the boy more as he is now, and this could affect the seal." Inoichi said. The other clan heads started to think. The Yamanaka was right. They forgot the seal and that it could break when things went wrong or worse. "To tell you my loyal Shinobi. I have taken the matter in my own hand. At this very moment, one of my closest servants should meet with Uzumaki Naruto and offer him a solution to his working problem that will help him and will help us in the end. What They boy don't know is that he is still listed as a Shinobi. But i have placed him on the inactive rooster. So we have our ways to watch over him and of course with the visit of this very person, he will get his training. But I have to tell you that they Boy will leave us for a while. But you can trust me that he is in good hands. The people who will train and tutor him are specialists and experts in their profession." Hiruzen said. Danzo raised his one eye bow and looked asking to the Hokage. "I apologize for the question lord Hokage. But who is this person?" Danzo asked. The other clan heads showed interest in the matter as well.
"Simple Shimura. Naruto will be trained and tutored by a group that trains special brands of maids and Butlers. They are far away from the normal description and all of them are military assets as well. Currently the Man that Visit Naruto is called Gen. And he is a Combat Butler. Part of a program created by the Daimyo himself. The group is based on former Shinobi and even Samurai. Most of them serve in this position since their grandparents started the group. And I think Naruto would be perfect in their hands." the Hokage said with a slight smile.
meanwhile in Narutos apartment
Gen looked around. The apartment was small and more or less even to bad for rats. As he recalled his thoughts he noticed that there weren't rats around at all. And that was a bad Sign. But that would be history when the boy accept his offer.
"Well, young Uzumaki-san. Like I said I have an offer for you. Something that could benefit you." Gen said. Naruto looked a bit confused. Gen looked at the boy with a calm expression as he remembered that had done a mistake. "I apologize for my rudeness. My name is Gen Yato. And you may remember me as the personal butler from Lord Hokage." Gen added and noticed the reaction from the boy. It was a reaction of surprise.
"You are the one that is mostly around the jiji. What do you want to offer me? I don't swing that way." Naruto said in his rude manner. Gen smirked a bit, but it was well hidden by his training. "True. The reason is i am the personal butler of Lord Hokage. So I am in his near when he needs me. And I don't swing that way either boy. The offer is different. The offer will be a place in a group i work for. And like i said it will benefit you." Gen said in his clam voice.
Naruto thought for a moment and then shook his head. "I don't know. I don't want to leave the people I know. I don't want to leave my friends either." he said with a meek voice. Gen thought for a moment. He had to be careful. It was his duty to bring the boy under his wing. And this duty was set by the Hokage himself. "I know that your roots are set to the village and that you don't want to leave the people you know. But you have to remember that your friends are shinobi now. And with that the chance that they will be away for long-term missions grew with the weeks. Let us say you listen to what I have to say and you can decide." Gen said to the boy to cheer him up.
Naruto looked to him and nod. "Good." Gen said with a smile. and collected his breath. "The offer will lead you to the capitol of fire were I and some other teachers will train you in our tricks and mechanics. I know that you have the wish to see the world and be outside of this walls, so the trip to the capitol might be your thing. I also know that you are hard-working. That is good. Our job needs much focus and power. Sure i also know that you are a prankster. I have seen your pranks for a while." he said as naruto grinned a bit. It was the first sign that the boy seems to get back to the sunny side. And it also seemed that Naruto liked the idea to visit the capitol when the fire in his eyes were an indicator.
"The people you will meet are funny as well. So what do you think? If you accept you will be a master in our trade in no time. And it is not that kind of boring butler job you may have heard from others. We are the ones that have action as well." Gen said and smiled as he saw that the boy were hooked to his words.
"Is there more to a butler then the thing I have seen or heard of? I mean yo serve people and stuff." Naruto asked. Gen shook his head for a short moment. "True, there are people like that. But like i said we are different. We are also fighters. We don't serve as normal butlers, we also protect those we have to care for. We are like shilds and swords. Best thing is we are away from Battlefields. So we get a bit older than Shinobi. But our job is filled with action as well. But you can learn this when you accept my offer. I will not force you. It is your own will in that." Gen said as he watched the boy think.
It wasn't easy for Naruto. On one side he don't want to leave for a while. He had his precious people here. But although his heart calls for the taste of this adventure. And he would see his friends again, he knew he will. Then he looked to Gen. "When would we start? I might have to say good-bye to jiji and some of my friends" he said. Gen grinned, this time the grin was open to see. "For the Hokage. He knew already, he send me to you. But trust me, you waked my interest even without him. And for the start. We will leave in two days. So it might be enough to pack the things you want to carry with you and to see your friends. So are you in young Uzumaki-san?" Gen asked.
Naruto again thought for a second and nodded. "Count me in." the boy said with a loud voice. Gen nod as he reached the boy his hand who answers the gesture immediately. In Gen's eyes the boy will grow to a strong men during the training he will receive. And with that he would bring the boy to the point were he should be. Naruto didn't knew it now, but this would be the start of a great adventure with an unknown ending.
-TBC-
AN: I look forward to reviews. And I am interest how you people think about that chapter. I know there isn't action. But that was not in my mind for this chapter. I also have to say that i will publish this chapter without a beta. My current beta is not aviable for the moment and I look for someone who can help me in that area. Sometimes it is good to have someone in the backhand.
