Chapter 2
Declaimer: I don't own Naruto.
After Naruto had walked away from the disgusted and scared crowd, he had slowly made his way to the Hokage tower. Not bothering to stare at anyone or anything in particular, he bumped into a small boy. The boy had raven hair that stuck in no particular direction. His charcoal eyes bore right into Naruto's crystal ones. He wore a black t-shirt, black shorts, and black sandals. He seemed to be the same age as Naruto though he was only 4"11. The raven's eyes only showed coldness, just as Naruto's did.
"Watch where you're going, dobe." the raven said. Naruto just stared blankly the smaller boy. "Hn." And with that, Naruto walked away towards his destination. The smaller boy was seething with anger. How dare someone disrespect him! He was the great Uchiha! The smaller boy turned and stomped away.
Naruto stared back at the boy. He spotted a fan sewn onto the back of the boy's shirt, the top red, and the bottom white. 'He must be Sasuke Uchiha.' Naruto thought. He had heard of the massacre of the boy's clan not only 2 weeks before. The boy was the only survivor. Naruto had learned (more like forced Hokage-sama to tell him.) that Sasuke's brother, Itachi Uchiha, had killed his own clan. The 13 year old (I think. Haha. :)) had left Sasuke alive so that the boy would suffer and live in agony at the loss of his clan. But Naruto was wiser than that. He knew that there was another motive behind why he killed his clan and left Sasuke alive. He just wasn't sure what that motive was yet. Currently there were only 2 Uchiha alive, Sasuke and Itachi. Naruto just shrugged his shoulders. 'This might not be as boring as I once thought.' and he went on his way to the Hokage tower

Naruto walked into the Hokage tower. The building was white with a red roof outside and had white plaster walls and wooden ones. The walls were decorated with many assortments of colors, pictures hung on the walls everywhere. The wooden floors made a clinking noise as people walked across it, the sound echoing off the walls. There was a set of beige spiral stairs going up in the far corner of the room. A receptionist desk sat in the middle of the room, though no one ever sat at it.
Naruto made his way up the stair case, towards an office door.
HOKAGE OFFICE
The door on the far end of the hall read. Not bothering to knock, Naruto made his entrance in the room. There stood 3 other Jounin that Naruto recognized as Maito Guy, Yuuhi Kurinai, and Asuma Sarutobi. They all stared at the entrance of the blonde, wondering why he was here, for they were in the middle of an important talk.
"AH NARUTO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ON THIS YOUTHFUL DAY?" Guy yelled in his usual loud tone. The man wore a green spandex suit, a Jounin/Chuunin jacket, sandals, orange leg warmers, bandages around both arms and hands, and a headband around his waist. His bowl cut black hair was slightly in his face, barely covering his abnormally large eyes. A man in a black shirt, pants, sandals, a green Jounin/Chuunin vest, and a head band around his head spoke up. "Seriously, we're in the middle of an important conversation." He had brown spiky hair, a slight beard, and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Naruto recognized him as Asuma. A woman in a tied bandage dress that web to her knees, sandals, and a headband around her head followed up with the same questions as the 2 men. She was known as Kurinai. "Not that we have a problem with you Naruto, but we're in the middle of something important. Can you wait?" she said in a kind yet forceful voice.
Naruto just stared at them until the Hokage spoke up. "*cough cough*. Ah yes. I have called Naruto here." the Hokage was known as Sarutobi. He was about mid-80's, a white beard and hair cladding his face. He wore the basic Hokage outfit, a white robe with red lining and a wide white hat with a white hanger and red lining. His eyes were beady and showed control, but also kindness. He had a small smile on his face as he watched the four children, in his perspective. (except Naruto who is actually a kid. :))
"Why did you call Naruto here?" Kurinai asked in a demanding tone that only she could pull off. This time Naruto answered the question. He shoved his hands into his pockets and stood as impassive as ever. "I have been called to take a spot as a sensei for some Genin. Am I right Hokage-sama?" Sarutobi was surprised to say the least. He had not told the young boy anything about why he was called. Naruto was surely an interesting person.
Getting over his surprise, the 3rd Hokage cleared his throat. "Yes Naruto, that is exactly why I called you here. Do you accept the offer?" he said in a cool tone. Everyone else (besides Naruto) stood in shock. The boy was only 8! How could he be a Jounin sensei? They all knew Naruto was good and they had heard of a young 8 year old becoming a Jounin, but they never even considered it being Naruto of all people. Naruto was always a quiet person, never standing out, keeping to himself. Everyone had always thought that he was just a lonely kid who didn't try. So when they heard that Naruto was being offered a spot as a sensei, they were utterly shocked. He was the amazing 8 year old Jounin! No one could believe it.
Naruto remained impassive and shrugged his shoulders. "Sure I will accept, Hokage-sama." Naruto replied, not moving an inch.
"Whoa whoa whoa! What is going on? Naruto is 8! He can't be a sensei! He's not even a Jounin! Or out of school!" Asuma shouted. He just couldn't believe it. Sarutobi chuckled. "Yes Naruto is only 8 years old. Quite young. Naruto can be a sensei because I have decided he can be and yes, he is a Jounin. He has been since he was 6 years old. And the academy thing, he will not become a sensei until he is out of the academy. As will you all. Naruto is a fellow ninja, Jounin, and now sensei so you will treat him with respect as always. And you are not to tell anyone that he's a Jounin and soon to be sensei. You may tell fellow Jounin but that is it. I don't want the word spreading before he's even out of the academy yet." the Hokage finished. The three speechless Jounin just stared at Naruto. The all nodded after a minute. "Alright then. You are dismissed." and the four Jounin disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
