On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
"Thank you, Oji-san!" cried Naruto returning from his second mission that morning. He had to help the old man in harvest, that month all the Village were cooperating for the Christmas banquet. Earlier that day he had to went to the gates to supervise the arrival of the cattle for the the banquet's provisions.
"Tsunade no obaa-chan!!" cried Naruto when he arrived to the Hokage tower. "I've finished the mission you gave..." he stopped for a second. "...me" Naruto let himself finish after noticing who were in the Hokage office as well.
"It's Naruto" said Temari as Kankurou looked at him.
"Naruto..." muttered the Kazekage.
"Gaara!" cried Naruto excitedly. "I didn't know I'd find you here"
"Actually Naruto, we were having a meeting" pointed Tsunade trying her best to stay calm and hoping the knuckle head ninja'd get the hint. "We were discussing some Village issues" she added seeing Naruto wasn't leaving.
"Oh" he realized and flushed a bit. "I guess I interrupted some important conversation" he said rubbing the back of his head. "I'll leave you with your visitors" he said and turned around to leave but Tsunade didn't let him.
"Naruto before you leave" she said as the blond ninja turned to see her. "I have a new mission for you" she added with a grin. Hopefully she'd let Naruto deal with the diplomat stuff as long as that'd mean skipping work.
"Whaa?!!" Naruto's face dropped. "More stupid missions?" he complaint thinking he'd get another D rank mission. All the week he had been stuck with them due to the lack of villains around the Village
"Naruto you'd be grateful we don't have dangerous missions. Hopefully Akatsuki has let us spend a peaceful Christmas" explained Tsunade as Naruto lowered his head.
"Now I'm sure you'd like this mission" she added as she proceeded to explain it for him.
"And these are the faces of all Hokage! Mine'd be here one day-ttebayo!" said Naruto when he finished his tour around Konoha.
"He looks specially motivated today" Temari murmured to Kankurou as they walked behind Naruto and Gaara.
"Tsunade-sama has a way with words" Kankuro added.
"Well Naruto, I'm taking you'd be the one who'd be dealing with this stuff some day" Tsunade started as Naruto looked at her in awe. "So I must let you start doing some Hokage work. Why don't you show the Village to the Kazekage?" she added as Naruto nodded in agreement.
"I'll do my best-ttebayo"
"Heh, I think she did that so she could get away some work" sighed Temari looking back at the Hokage Tower.
"Hey you're not allowed to talk like that of the Kage of a Village that is ally with Suna" added Kankurou teasing his sister.
"By the way Kankurou, don't you think we missed something?"
"I can't see Kankurou and Temari" pointed Naruto when Gaara and him reached the head of the first Hokage.
"Who's the one we're standing in?" the Kazekage asked not paying much attention to the fact his siblings were left behind.
"This is Shodaime and that other one is his brother, Nidaime. I was told both of them were the ones that funded Konoha" informed Naruto. He was now grateful with Iruka sensei for teaching him that when was at the academy, and even more with himself for having paid attention that time. Seeing how he had gained the attention of Gaara he continued. "Both of them were the old man's senseis"
"The old man?"
"Heh, I'm talking about Sandaime. He was the coolest person I've known so far" Naruto added with a grin turning to Sandaime's head in the rock making the Kazekage turn to him as well. "To die protecting his Village, it's something I'd be proud of dying for"
"He wasn't the only one Orochimaru killed that time" Gaara muttered.
"Yeah" Naruto added lowering his head. He watched how Gaara didn't have a defined expression. He knew Gaara's father didn't like him so it was reasonable for him not to know what to feel when he was killed by Orochimaru. Had the Kazekage from that time been liked by all his people? He knew that all Konoha mourned Sandaime, and was sure they mourned Yondaime too when he died protecting the Village, even if he was too young to remember.
For a moment, he was relieved he hadn't got a father. How would it be if he hated him as much as Gaara's? Shaking his head, he quickly vanished those thoughts. That wouldn't be possible if there were people that liked him even if they weren't his real family just as Iruka sensei and Sandaime himself.
"But between us..." Naruto continued, breaking the silence. "I don't think Tsunade no obaa-chan is as great as these four" he added mischievously.
... four Hokages to remember
