When people looked back on what happened, they really had to wonder about what the people in the council were thinking. Yes, it had brought quite a lot of prosperity to the village as a whole, but it also made an indomitable hero. Uzumaki Naruto was now the 'Face of Konoha' and many of the older generation were not pleased.

"This new system of connecting our computers, and eventually connecting our computers to other countries will enable us to learn more and have more clients." said the head of technical services to the entire council, including the Hokage and the visiting Kazekage.

Hiashi looked at the man, "It will also allow spies and infiltrators to get secrets of the village out to enemies just as fast, and our people in the field will be at a disadvantage."

Dr. Hashimoto sighed, knowing that this may be a losing argument. The people here really did not understand or want to understand technology, being more comfortable with paper and pen. "Our people in the field can have a mobile system. Think of the advantages if we can update our people in the field with new information, or get them the latest layouts of guard posts or other necessary changes before they attack."

Danzo snorted. He was not behind this at all, but he at least had the intelligence to realize that it could help in some way, if the idea was limited a bit more. "How would it help us to get more clients?"

Hashimoto smirked and turned on a projection screen attached to the computer he had brought in. "With this. A information index that allows people to find out what our shinobi can do and how they carried out their non-classified missions."

The council stared at what had been presented and a civilian member asked, "And anyone can see this?"

"Anyone who connects to the system."

Danzo suddenly got a brilliant idea that would get one headache out of the way, especially with how the civilian members were now talking about how this could help their businesses. "Hokage-Sama, I would suggest that we set up this in the village for now and test it, with free access to the machines in several places, such as some restaurants. If it works well, we can see about expanding it, and I as well as the ninja here will want to know how portable units will help us in the field."

The Hokage looked at everyone, many who had eager looks on their faces, while some had misgivings. The thing about any new knowledge was it was a double edged sword, and once made, someone else could duplicate it just from hearing about it. Naruto and his clones were a prime example of this, as well as the spread among the younger generation of the Oiroke no Jutsu. She sighed, "Alright. I'll approve this for now, but I want every ninja to own a computer free of charge as they will need to learn how they work. The Kazekage and I need to do a few things, so we will leave the rest of the decisions about this project in your hands. Dr. Hashimoto, you will be in charge of completing this by next month and we will review the results in six months time.

As the two Kage's left the room, some could swear they heard Tsunade mutter, "Kami-sama, those people just love to send me paperwork!"

Danzo was pleased. While many of his people could work computers, and would be able to do this, there was one ninja that was sure to fail given his marks. Maybe then he could have his weapon.

Naruto was disturbed by a loud knocking on his door. Grumbling about it being too early and he had just gotten back from a mission, he picked up a few more kunai that he had sitting at the side of his bed and went to answer. "WHAT THE HELL IS IT? IT'S TEN IN THE MORNING YOU IMBECILE!!"

The person who was standing in front of him didn't even flinch at this declaration. The delivery person had gotten used to this after the first three customers, and one kunai that had come close to his ear from that one crazed kunochi. He was sure this was revenge for getting those new style okonomiyaki from that vendor and not the piss ya the Hashimoto wanted. Since reading all of those old records, he had almost gone into a frenzy concerning historical accuracy for the techs. "I'm here to deliver your computer on the Hokage's orders."

"Com-what? What are you talking about?" exclaimed a peeved Naruto

The tech continued to smile, "I'm supposed to deliver this and set it up for you It is to be considered part of your duties as a Shinobi of this village. I'm here to set it up and leave."

Naruto grumbled, but let the guy in with his boxes.

After getting showered and dressed properly, he looked at what the guy had put in his apartment, "What the HELL! I've only seen those things at the hospital. What does she expect me to do, become a medic like Sakura?"

Without even looking at the books, or the note on it, Naruto was out his door and on the way to the Hokage's tower.

Sakura, naturally read hers, and also read on how to do the index programing for her 'page' in it. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to reveal most of her missions or a lot of information since it was considered classified at the highest levels. However, she did end up writing some things about herself, treating it like a diary and one interesting paragraph turned up:

So far, my work as a medic has taken me to many places, and I have seen and done some amazing things. Honestly, have the things I've done would not have been so interesting, or so dangerous, if it wasn't for my team mate Naruto, who had the Great Naruto Bridge named after him. Sometimes, it's hard to admit, but he is a great Ninja, and for some reason I am sure that he will become Hokage in the future, just like his dream. He is one of the strongest people I know, not because of the strength of his abilities, but because he cares. Perhaps that is why he's one of the best Friends I've ever made. It just took me a long time to realise this.

Naruto quickly came to a halt before Tsunade's door and barged in, like usual. "What's the meaning of that machine old lady? I'm not about to become a medic nin, I need to go and get Sasuke back!"

Tsunade looked at Naruto and replied, "Shut it Brat! It's not for you to become a medic, it's to help you with your missions and planning. Didn't you even read the note that came along with the computer?"

"Note? What note?" came the aggrieved reply.

Tsunade's response was to hit him on the head. "Get off it brat! It was with the books that came with the machine. You need to read it, and them, and then do the simple assignment that is on the note. Those are your orders, and you're not going on another mission until you do it."

"What?! You're crazy"

"Nope. That's how it's going to be. Not get out of my office Brat!"

After Naruto left in a huff, Tsunade pulled out a small bottle of sake and started to sip, not noticing Shizune was in the room. Shizune quickly took the bottle away. "You're not getting any more until you do the assignment yourself."

"Shizune!"

"Now!"

Tsunade grumbled a bit since this public relations work was taking time from the more important things in life, such as relaxing or gambling. She then went to work on her own page and after writing a brief overview of the village, she started on the various Shinobi, and the first one after Shizune was her favourite brat:

If it wasn't for Naruto, I would never have come back to Konoha. He showed me that the Hokage title did have meaning, and was willing to put himself in front of Oroichimaru in order to save me. He didn't have to do that, in fact I ordered him not to, but he was willing to give up everything to do what he considered the right thing. I am proud to know him, and to see the will of fire that has inspired me to come back to Konoha living on in him. In the future, I see him becoming greater than the rest of us, and leading us to a safe future.

Hinata looked at her own page, and for a change, decided to be a bit bold. Her father has written some thing on the Hyuga clan as a whole and was not enthused by the project, but he stilled followed orders. She herself was interested and listed some of the things that she had done that were not classified, and then noticing how to do it, added a second page that would hopefully remain unnoticed as she was not really bold enough for anybody to learn. Little did she know at the time that people would be able to find that 'hidden page' very easily as there was a link to do so:

All my life, I've been considered weak, almost insignificant. The only reason I have become as strong as I have was because of Uzumaki Naruto. Since the academy he has been my inspiration, my reason for going beyond myself. No matter what, he gets up and continues onward.

He has saved so many peoples lives, and continues to do so, in the face of opposition and hate. I don't understand the hate, and I dislike how they refuse to see the person he is. He is a kind, caring person, teaching children, defeating enemies, and ensuring that everyone is cared for. He will fight his enemies, but he shows mercy and does not kill them, if he can. I can think of no stronger person, nor one that deserves so much respect and admiration.

Hinata's entry continued like that for quite a while, including small anecdotes of what she had observed, and how he encouraged everyone around him.

Naruto read the note and was confused by all the terms. Couldn't they write this thing so that people could understand it? Grumbling, he left his apartment again and went to see Iruka. Maybe he could make heads or tails out of this, or at least explain the words that didn't seem to make sense.

Kakashi did his page fast, and his only comment on Naruto was that he was the most unpredictable and loyal person he had ever known.

Lee wrote about the springtime of youth since he had Gai to help him. Both of them wrote almost an entire textbook that ended up listing the people they considered their rivals. They both wrote about how inspirational it was that Naruto had defeated Neji in his first time in the Chunin exams, but it was lost in between all the rambling.

Shino just wrote that he liked insects and logic, and was trilled to have this new machine.

Kiba wrote about himself and his team, but made things out to be better than they were, and his ego had him writing things that he wouldn't normally go into. Kiba's page went up and most was erased about an hour later due to security and put only his publicly skills and abilities down. His treatise on how to treat dogs remained.

All Shikimaru wrote was that he liked to watch clouds, Ino wrote about flowers, and Choji wrote about food.

Iruka was staring at the machine in front of him, while reading the manual. He was, of course, interrupted by Naruto who kept asking him questions about the computer and how to do the assignment. Iruka welcomed it, as since it was teaching, they could end up learning together. For the rest of the day, the two would be putting their head together to get used to something that they really had no idea how to operate.

The Kazekage wrote a letter to Hashimoto and it had this to say about the village:

Konoha is the place where I made my first and best friend, the person who has ended up saving me at least twice, and once from myself. He is the strongest person I know, and defeated me when I was at my most horrible, and ended up defeating a Bijuu as well. When I think of Konoha, I think of Uzumaki Naruto, my friend, student of Jiraiya, favoured of Tsunade. He is the true reason that Konoha still stands to this day as if he had not defeated me and Shukaku, the village would have fallen to the one who betrayed both our villages, Orochimaru.

Tenten used the page to write about everything she believed in, and how little respect she had for fangirls.

Neji put a lot of thought into his page, and wrote various dry commentaries from inside the Hyuga clan and happenings around the village. He also, humbly, made mention that he had been an asshole to several people in his family until he was publicly turned around by Naruto, even writing down the blonds speech since it should be preserved for prosperity. It also warned that arrogant people had better be prepared to face Naruto and lose, because with something to fight for, he was undefeatable, even by the mighty Hyuga clan.

After Naruto left, Iruka did his own page, and wrote about his students, especially the twelve, as they had come to be known in village lore. On Naruto, he wrote the following:

While in my class, Naruto was the town prankster, and his pranks were big, even to somehow painting the entire Hokage mountain in less than a few hours. To this day, no one knows how he did it, and it is an embarrassment to quite a few of the senior ninjas as not only was a mountain that overlooks the whole village painted by hand, he was unable to be caught by even the ANBU. Some ninja we are, and I have a feeling that on that day, Naruto let me catch him.

Naruto is a study in contrasts. While I admit he didn't do well in my class, I do know talent, and he has a lot. By himself, and only reading the instructions, he was able to create the solid clones known as shadow clones in less that two hours. It is for this reason, some people have named him the Orange Hoard.

Jiraiya looked at it and convinced a star struck fan of his series to write an ad for his Icha Icha books. However, he also added the following:

Currently, I'm training the most hard headed kid who refuses to let me do my research, or at least not much of it. How can I write the Icha Icha series without the proper research? Yes, Naruto is a strong boy, and is good at picking up skills, but the brat has this thing against a super pervert such as myself. I blame Tsunade for this.

In the end, Naruto got to his web page, but found that all of his missions were classified. Or at least that's what he thought, and he was NOT going to write about the D-ranks that he had done. He simply wrote:

My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I am going to become the Hokage. I am also going to bring back Uchia Sasuke to this village and nothing is going to stand in my way. I never go back on my word, and I will protect all those who are precious to me.

It was the following day when things started to get strange.

To start, people began to read what others wrote, and the civilians wanted to know more about the people who protected them. With that some drastic changes started to take place. And it started around the hot springs.

Jiraiya was doing his 'research' when several women and Kunoichi came out of the forest behind him while he was busy peeking. After hearing a cleared throat, he turned around. In a nervous voice he asked, "Ladies, what can I do for you?"

Jiraiya ended up in the beating of his life.

Many young women of the village were now praising Naruto for preventing the pervert from doing as much as he wanted, while many men were grumblings and shot dark glances at Naruto.

Some people were staring at the young man as he walked to get the next mission he was going to be assigned to, but he was used to it. He never noticed the gossiping that was being done by the younger people. Still, the result of this gossip would change the minds of quite a few people and make his life easier, but many of the older generation still had some resentment.

It wasn't until a month later that things really started to get strange

"So, how was the mission?" Tsunade asked.

Naruto was grumbling while Kakashi answered, "Easy. Maybe too easy. The bandits took one look at Naruto and gave up without a fight."

Shizune opened her mouth slightly and Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "Explain."

"It seems that Naruto has a reputation. He was called the Unpredictable, while one was saying something about 'the orange hoard'. We had no troubles, and as long as they didn't have to fight Naruto they were happy and crying as they gave up. I handed some of them over to Ibiki to interrogate."

"Hokage-sama, we have received a record number of mission requests, more than we can handle." stated a disheveled chunin.

"Well, send the overflow to Gaara as per the agreement. He is still trying to get Suna back to where it belongs." Tsunade stated calmly, although she wanted the bash the poor man. He should already know of the agreement.

"Ah, there is a problem. Most of the request are for Uzumaki-san to handle the mission." stated the now nervous ninja.

Tsunade got a bit worried about this. "Look them over, and give Naruto only the ones that we are sure are not traps. I need to talk with some people."

"Shizune!" Tsunade called as soon the the chunin left. "Get the Akatsuki intelligence team in here. I need to know if the increase in missions, especially asking for Naruto may be a way for them to get him alone."

Danzo was growing displeased. Naruto had completed the assignment, and somehow was gaining a huge following.

For months, this went on, and when the review of the system came up, a report showed that Naruto's page was the most visited by people coming to town.

Missions were Uzumaki were sent on became much easier as a result, but people still could not figure out how such a simple statement could entice them to want him.

For the council, it would remain a mystery.

The older generation couldn't say anything, and several of them had changed their minds, but a few were still of the 'I Hate Naruto / The Demon / Kyubbi' fan club. They wouldn't change their ways, but it was getting harder to keep customers when they showed this attitude, or expressed it in any way. They kept quiet for the sake of their jobs.

The project, especially because of the rise in missions, was considered a success.

What happened when it went across the Elemental Countries is a story for another time.
