A/N: So, here is the third chapter rewritten, enjoy!
Disclaimer: Soooo, here is the plan to force Kishimoto to give me the rights of Naruto: I go to Japan by plane, go to his house and I kidnap him! Great plan, I know. Except that I can't afford a plane ticket to Japan, I don't know where he lives and as such cannot kidnap him :/
So, until I find a way to do it, Kishimoto still owns Naruto.

'Thoughts'
"Jutsu no Jutsu"

The first thing Naruto saw when he woke up was a white ceiling. 'Of course, I am once again in the hospital' Naruto thought and sighed. Why did the villagers beat him up always? He didn't do anything wrong, did he? These thoughts were racking his mind, he was going everything he had done to make the villagers hate me, he was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice the Hokage standing at the door.
The Hokage was standing in the opening of the door just watching his surrogate grandson. He dearly loved him and hated the villagers that did this to the boy. 'I'm sorry Naruto-kun, Minato, Kushina, I have failed all of you' the Hokage thought sadly. Pushing those thoughts away for another time, he smiled and entered the room making his presence known. "Well hello Naruto-kun, I'm glad you're feeling better." Hiruzen said while smiling his grandfatherly-smile. The loud response came in the words: "JIJI!" and a small boy hugging the Hokage.
"I'm so happy you came to see me! Can we go get ramen please! I'm feeling a lot better already! I'm sure I can leave the hospital already!". Hiruzen just chuckled at the antics of his surrogate grandson. "Well, Naruto-kun, I'm sure we can go and eat some ramen if you want.". Naruto was about to shout his shouts of joy when Hiruzen interrupted him: "But, Naruto-kun, I must first ask you something."
"Sure Jiji! Then we will get some ramen?" Naruto replied.
"Yes yes, we will get ramen. Now for my question: Do you remember who beat you up last night?".
Naruto listened carefully, because his ramen depended on it, then he thought if he could remember anyone from last night.
"No Jiji, I'm sorry, I can't remember anything from last night except that I got beaten up again." Naruto said with a sad smile.
"Are you sure that is all you remember Naruto-kun?". Hiruzen asked. 'I would like to know who killed all those civilians'.
Naruto's brain once again went into overdrive to remember anything from last night, but once again couldn't.
"I'm really sorry Jiji, but I can't remember much from last night."
Hiruzen sighed, but he knew that if he would keep questioning Naruto that he wouldn't get any other information. After all, Naruto had never lied to him before, had he?
"It isn't bad Naruto-kun, I just wanted to know. Now let's go get some ramen!".
Upon saying those words, the entire hospital heard shouts of joy.

Hiruzen and Naruto reached the ramen stand after a long walk from the hospital and entered the small stand.
"Oi, Teuchi-Ojisan, get me 3 bowls of Miso ramen and 3 bowls of pork ramen to begin with!".
"Coming right up!" came the answer out of the kitchen.
Hiruzen started to pale when he realized what a grave mistake he had made with taking Naruto to some ramen. He could only hope that the ramen gods were kind on him today.
When Naruto's first bowl arrived and Teuchi finally noticed his Hokage. Even though most people would be surprised to see their Hokage in their restaurant, Teuchi knew that the Hokage was one of the only people who spent time with Naruto and as such, the Hokage had come to his stand several times with the blonde boy.
Hiruzen was smiling while watching Naruto eat: it were the little things in life that made him happy and this moment was one of them: his surrogate grandson eating ramen with his surrogate grandfather. But at the same time, Hiruzen couldn't help but think of who might have saved Naruto's life. Hiruzen sighed as he didn't want to ruin Naruto's peaceful moment, but he had to know.
"Naruto-kun" Hiruzen started "do you remember who saved you last night from the mob?".
Naruto looked up and looked at his Jiji.
"No Jiji, I still can't remember anything from last night. I'm sorry." Naruto replied with a sad voice and smile.
'Now, this seems a long-shot, but could it be that maybe Naruto, with unleashing the Kyuubi's chakra, killed the villagers without knowing it? Or maybe an elemental affinity that was unleashed thanks to the Kyuubi's influence?' Hiruzen thought.
The more Hiruzen thought about it, the more it seemed actually plausible.
Hiruzen kept this thought for after dinner because he didn't want to ruin the mood.
XxX
After finishing their dinner, Hiruzen escorted Naruto home so that no incidents could happen along the way.
When Hiruzen made sure that Naruto was safe and sound in his apartment, he went to his office and summoned one of his Anbu.
"Make sure Jiraiya gets this message." Hiruzen ordered. The Anbu nodded once and vanished instantly.
'I hope Jiraiya gets the message and decides to listen for a change' Hiruzen thought and chuckled at his own ingenuity. He had been trying to ease the council into letting the boy enter the academy, but he was meeting heavy resistance, surprisingly from both sides of the council. So, he was going to make a way around the academy: why not let Jiraiya teach Naruto. He was after all his godfather. This would make everyone happy: the civilians as they wouldn't have to see Naruto again for quite some time, the shinobi for pretty much the same reason, even if they didn't hate Naruto, they still didn't like him that much, and lastly, Naruto of course. The boy always wanted to be a shinobi and he was going to get that chance and training, no matter what he had to do, or how many heads would have to roll.
