Author's Note: Unlike the last two chapters of The Disappearance Arc, this one wasn't delayed because I knew where I wanted to take the story after completing Chapter 9.

Chapter 10:

Thunder God Kunai

The Kunai that once belonged to the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze The Yellow Flash of Konoha, is in the hands of Naruto Uzumaki, The Sixth Hokage of Konoha. When he picks up the kunai that once belonged to his father who sealed the nine tailed fox inside of Naruto on the day he was born.

"This doesn't make any sense" Sakura said "I thought all of the Fourth Hokage's kunais were destroyed during the attack on Konoha from The Nine Tails?"

The blonde haired Hokage explains "Well that's not entirely true"

Konohamaru gets what Naruto means "I'm guessing you looked through some documents?"

"Yeah there was chamber below the Hokage Mansion, and that's were I discovered some of my dad's files relating to the thunder god kunais he created" The Nine Tails Jinchuriki explained "That's when I discovered that one of the twenty kunais was still missing because of what was reported in the file"

Itachi Uchiha finishes explaining the story of how the missing kunai fell into Kakashi's hand on the night the Naruto was born. He was given the kunai by his sensei who had promised him to make sure no threats disrupt the birth of Naruto Uzumaki. However things didn't go as planned once Masked Man, Madara Uchiha appeared.

"So he's held onto the kunai for that long" Konohamaru said.

"Yes, but what was the reason for not giving it to Naruto. I mean he is the son of your sensei, Itachi?" the brown haired Sarutobi said.

"It wasn't about giving it to me Konohamaru" The jinchuriki said "It was a matter of seeing if I was ready to carry out the mantle of Hokage"

Itachi looks surprised at Naruto "How did you know?"

Naruto does his usual smile as he scratches the back of his head "It was a lucky guess"

"It took a while, but from my understanding you seem to have intelligence of your father that you never had during our last encounter" The Akatsuki Uchiha said.

Naruto sighed as he blankly stared at Minato's kunai "Yeah"

"If only your mother had been alive then she would be proud of you" Itachi said facing away from The Sixth Hokage and his friends.

This put a smile on Naruto's face "Sometimes I wish that I could meet her"

He stares back at the Young Uzumaki as he changes the iris within his eyes to the Mangekyo Sharingan "Naruto, this is where we'll go our separate paths"

"Itachi you could be pretty beneficial to Konoha especially to the Anbu Black Ops" Sakura Haruno said.

The Genius Uchiha laughed "I'm flattered Sakura, but this is all apart of my plan to learn about the enemy's location on the missing nin"

"How did you know?" Naruto Uzumaki asked.

The former Akatsuki member says "A special technique that I acquired once I was brought back from the dead"

Konohamaru becomes anxious to know "What is it?"

"You will know the next time I see you all again" Sasuke's older brother said as he begins to head out "Naruto, don't forget about your duties as The Hokage more than your revenge against Madara Uchiha"

The blonde eighteen year old Hokage gives a thumbs up to Itachi "I won't"

Sakura places her right hand on Naruto's shoulder "I don't mean to interrupt you Naruto, but we should head back to the village before the situation starts to get out of hand"

"Yeah" He said.

The jinchuriki puts his father's kunai in a place where he could use it in times of need "Alright let's go"

While Naruto and his friends were on their way back to Konoha, he decided to give Sakura and Konohamaru the rest they needed due to exhaustion. The Sixth Hokage on the other hand went to bed five minutes after them, but he also woke up within less than an hour because he couldn't sleep. Then he pulls out his father's Kunai, and thinks about what his father told him when he was fighting against Pain.

"Dad" he replied as their is still a small amount of chakra left inside the kunai, Itachi entrusted to Naruto before they parted ways.

A voice calls out "Can't sleep either"

He turns around as his assistant and best friend, Sakura joins him "You should be resting for tomorrow Sakura"

She laughs "I could say the same thing to you"

"Well if something were to happen to the two of you I'd never forgive myself. That's one of my duties as the Hokage" Naruto explained.

Sakura understands why Naruto is having a sleepless night, it's due to the promise he made her about bringing Sasuke back, and Hinata's disappearance as well "If you need someone to talk to Naruto then i'm here for you"

"It's all good Sakura" He said being immersed into father's last kunai

The bubblegum haired kunoichi places her left hand on top of her best friend's right hand "Just get some rest for me" Sakura's red cheeks begin to form as she plants a kiss on the jinchuriki's "Good night, Naruto"

I gave this chapter a different kind of ending due to the small chemistery I had given to Naruto and Sakura for the sake of the story arc. The next chapter is currently in the writing process, and it should be up within the next day or two. Plus as always people, thanks for reading.
