Hokage Mansion...
It didn't take long for Naruto to reach the Hokage Mansion from the Maelstrom. He completely ignored the secretary ,much to her relief for even though Naruto was incredibly handsome her fear for him overrode the want to get near him, as he walked passed her towards the door ,not even bothering to knock he just barged into the office. The ANBU Guard quickly tensed and immediately became on the defense ,even Yugao, trying hard not to let their fear or anger slip, for everybody present knew that Naruto could sense fear a mile away and effectively use it against them...be it enemy or comrade.
Naruto sensed the ANBU's fear as soon as he walked through the door but he paid it no heed for he had other things to worry about. All of his attention was on the old man behind the desk.
"Naruto-kun" the aged Hokage greeted.
"Hokage-sama" Naruto happily returned.
Hiruzen smiled at the boy and said "We have bussiness to discuss."
"That we do." Naruto replied.
"ANBU leave us." the Hokage's ANBU guard happily and quickly complied with the Hokage's order.
Once the ANBU left the two people left in the office stayed in relative silence until after a few minutes Naruto asked "Is it true."
The Hokage's face immediately hardened as he respoonded "Hai, what was on that scroll is true. Itachi confirmed that the Akatsuki are planning on hunting down Jinchuuriki."
Once again silence retook the room until Naruto broke it again "What will you do?" he asked
Hiruzen shook his head as he replied "For now nothing, we do not have enough information on this organization to do anything."
Naruto nodded and said "I see..." he paused "Is their anything else you need Hokage-sama."
Hiruzen nodded and said "Yes actually,I've heard through my sources that you been bored as of late."
To anyone else this conversation may have looked as a strange one but anyone that knew Naruto like he did knew for a fact that a bored Naruto was a dangerous one. First he'd participate in sexual activities to try an alleviate his boredom and when that didn't work he took to killing anyone and anything within range no matter the consequences.
Many times Hiruzen would put into question the sanity of the boy. He was a psychopath yes, but he was a controlled psychopath. To the rest of Konoha,Naruto was just a highly intelligent psychopath that took pleasure in spilling blood at random. Yes he enjoyed spilling blood but their was never anything random in his killing, any time he killed anyone there was a purpose behind it. The most 'random' attack that concerned Naruto was when he took the arm of some civilian that had insulted him.
Digging through his desk's drawer he pulled out a scroll and tossed it to Naruto. He opened it and read through the details before he asked "What's this?"
"It's the description of a ROOT agent that infiltrated this year's Academy graduates. I don't want Danzo manipulating the minds of this year's Genin so I want you to get rid of him...anyway you see fit." he answered
A devious smile showed itself on Naruto's face before he nodded and turned to leave but Hiruzen quickly called out "I need you at Training Ground 3 at 2 o'clock tomorrow."
Naruto turned to face the Hokage again and slightly tilted his head and asked "What do you mean."
Hiruzen sighed before looking at Naruto in eyes and said "Naruto-kun, you and I both now what becomes of my village if I leave you bored so I've organized for you to have a mock battle with my Jonin under the pretense that they are being reevaluated for their position."
Naruto just smiled even wider and exited the Hokage's office hurriedly.
At the Academy...
"...and so you will have a week off before you must return here for team assignments. So with that said I wish you all great careers as ninja." Iruka finished his Will of Fire speech with a big smile.
Yes,Iruka Umino could't be prouder, as all of his students this year gained the privilege of wearing the Konoha headband. They were all adults now ,in the eyes of the village, so did they really all have to act like children.
Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka were the loudest of the bunch, arguing over how they would get the team with their precious 'Sasuke-kun' ,as Sasuke just sat there brooding as usual. Kiba Inuzuka ,this year's dead last, was glaring at Sasuke itching for a fight with the Uchiha most likely to try and one up this year's 'Rookie of the Year'. Shikamaru Nara was unsuprisingly asleep and next to him Choji Akimichi was stuffing his face full with potato chips. And the rest of the students were all scattered throughout the classroom having their own various conversations.
The only quiet ones that were sitting quietly were Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Aburame as Sai was sitting by Sasuke at the window quietly drawing. And if he was honest with himself at this moment they were his favorite students right now.
Hinata was by far his favorite student within the classroom because unlike the other girls in his class she didn't fawn over the Uchiha instead she chose to focus on her studies of a kunoichi. Although she was rather shy and timid in the beginning of the year over time her attitude did a complete 180.
Now she was more confident and self-assured which led to her increase of skill. In fact, her attitude and confidence in skill eventually led her to regain her title as clan heir. And to the few that knew her asked what had happened to her to warrant such a drastic change in her attitude she simple waved them and said "I have a goal."
Five minutes later, the door opened effectively shutting up everyone within the classroom. It wasn't because that the door opened that everyone quieted down, no what shut them up immediately was that right before them entered one Naruto Uzumaki ,former dead last.
Everyone's eyes widened at seeing the blonde enter the classroom not because of his sudden difference of age ,as everyone within Konoha knew that he had mysteriously aged, but because of Naruto's infamy within the village as the 'Demon of Konoha' and spree murderer reached the ears of even small children.
Everyone shivered at Naruto's usual foxy grin as he walked further within the classroom until he was at the center of the room his eyes raking over each and every student which were practically shaking in place from Naruto's crimson eyed glance.
Completely ignoring Iruka he spoke to the entire class "Now I am here to teach you about the ninja world."
Iruka's head was working overtime trying to figure out what he meant and wished that it didn't involve anything brutal and further wishing that his students didn't antagonize the murderous blond. Unfortunately it never came true.
"What's a loser like you going to teach us about the ninja world?!" Kiba yelled ignoring Akamaru's whimpering to tell him not to say anything. What right did Naruto have to teach them about being ninjas he didn't even pass the academy.
And to the surprise of everyone in the class Hinata stood up from her chair and glared at the Inuzuka heir with her Byakugan activated "You will not speak to Naruto-sama like that." she said murderously. The question on everyone's mind at that moment was 'Why did she call him -sama'
Naruto held his hand up to calm the angered Hyuuga and spoke to her "It's fine Hinata-chan no need to be mean." looking straight at Kiba with his crimson eyes he said to him "To answer your question Kiba-san I'm here because the Hokage ordered me to."
Kiba just nodded stiffly trying not to anger Naruto further as Akamaru reminded him that his mother and sister warned him not to mess with Naruto and if he remembered correctly they referred to him as 'Naruto-sama' just as Hinata had. Trying to get a glimpse of Naruto's power,by trying to sense his chakra with his heightened sense of smell, he took a quick sniff before covering his nose just as quickly, Naruto reeked of blood and sex.
"Now if there aren't any further interruptions..." he said to the class "...let's begin." near instantly the room was filled with massive Killing Intent. It caught everyone unprepared ,even Iruka, and because of that they were victims of some very gruesome images ,some were forced to watch as their loved ones were killed before their eyes by Naruto others were tortured endlessly and repeatedly,many of the young Genin began choking on their own bile or scratching at their eyes until it drew blood.
"STOP IT!" Sasuke Uchiha yelled at Naruto trying to get the disturbing images of the Uchiha Massacre out of his head. Naruto just looked at the 'last' Uchiha and smiled at him. Sasuke just snarled at Naruto before drawing a kunai and charging straight at him yelling out "DIE!"
"No Sasuke don't!" Iruka shouted within his own nightmare.
Although they were in the same predicament Ino and Sakura still managed to yell out simultaneously "Sasuke-kun!"
SQUELCH!
Metal slicing through flesh rang throughout the room. Sasuke didn't even have time to gasp as right through his right shoulder was a silver chokuto. His eyes widened before he turned to Naruto who was smiling creepily at him and his crimson eyes reflected his amusement.
"What's wrong Sasuke-chan." he said mockingly. Seeing Sasuke was within a state of shock ,most likely from being impaled, Naruto channeled lightning chakra through his chokuto therefore electrocuting him and effectively knocking him out.
Throughout the room various students were passed out but those that weren't were most of the clan heirs save for Ino but Shino and Sai sat there seemingly unaffected as the rest were somewhat pale from the whole ordeal.
Naruto looked at them with his head tilted slightly to the side ,sending another set of shivers down the remaining conscious students, and said "Hmm... I expected more of you to be unconscious but no matter..." Sasuke was still impaled on Naruto's chokuto despite being knocked out, so Naruto quickly pulled out his weapon from the Uchiha's shoulder dropping him on a pool of his own blood. Naruto then pointed his chokuto at the remaining Genin and said "Now for your second lesson." he then pointed his chokuto to each person before stopping at Sai as a result a smirk etched itself on his face.
And before anyone could blink...
SQUELCH!
...Sai had Naruto's chokuto in his chest piercing through his heart. Sai just looked up at Naruto with his dying eyes looking for an explanation and Naruto just looked at him in the eyes and addressed the class "Death can happen at anytime." and quickly retrieved his weapon from the now dead undercover ROOT agent ,his body fell with a loud thud on his desk which was rapidly collecting blood and spilling over unto the floor.
Naruto then calmly returned to his previous spot in the room and again addressed the room in a cheerful tone "Congratulations, you are all ready to become ninja!"
He then turned to Iruka's downed form and said "Iruka-sensei you may want to talk to the Hokage about new teams as i'm pretty sure some of your student's here may want to retire early." he then walked toward the roms exit ,leaving several emotionally scarred people, to go and resume his activities with Akane and the girls.
As he opened the door to leave he turned around and tossed Iruka a deck of coupons from Ichiraku Ramen Gourmet Restaurant and said happily "Here take these,you should come by more often me, and the Ichiraku's haven't seen you in the shop in ages!" and so Naruto left the Academy with his bloodlust somewhat sated,his boredom hardly diminished ,and a smirk on his face.
Meanwhile at the Hokage Residence...
With a heavy sigh Hiruzen Sarutobi ,Sandaime Hokage, shut off his crystal ball before looking up at the visage of a cat mask belonging to one Yugao Uzuki.
"Hokage-sama was that wise...sending him for this mission." Yugao said slightly worried for the children within Iruka's homeroom class.
Again the Hokage sighed before replying "I didn't order him to do that...but all is well."
With a raised eyebrow ,that was hidden behind her mask, Yugao asked "How so?"
With a hardened gaze the village leader responded "Yes ,although it may seem extreme, it was necessary, this year we are holding a joint Chunin Exam with Sunagakure and other small villages and we need strong Genin to showcase our strength ,not sniveling children that freeze up at the littlest amount of Killing Intent."
And it was true because although Naruto's methods are extreme they show promising results. Take the current assassination for example, although he didn't tell Naruto to kill the spy in front of the new Genin it still helped Konoha. First it was to show Danzo up and make it seem as if the Hokage was in no way connected. And secondly it was to weed out the weak links within the new Genin and by extension not waste any resources on people who cannot handle the ninja life.
Still worried Yugao further inquired "Are you sure Hokage-sama they were only children?"
Leveling a glare at his ANBU Guard he spoke " I will not have my ability to run this village questioned any longe! Now go to the hospital and inform a medic that Sasuke Uchiha is injured."
Yugao shivered under the Hokage's glare. Ever since Naruto's attitude change it was quite obvious that the Hokage changed with the boy .No longer were the councils able to push around the Sandaime, rather he was far more assertive. He still maintained the grandfatherly aura but now he was the type of person that would take matters into his own hands to protect his village.
And this great change of personality in the Hokage was due to one person...Naruto Uzumaki. Although he was seemingly psychotic and kind of a womanizer the boy was fiercely loyal to the Hokage and by extension Konohagakure. And Yugao could only pray to Kami it stayed that way...for the good of the village.
