When Naruto woke up he remembered all that happened with the Hokage and froze in his seat.
What did i do? What was i thinking?
He had just defeated an ANBU and had felt brave, that's what happened.
Stupid, stupid me!
To try and calm himself down Naruto took out his stock of Chakra parchment from a storage scroll and had twenty clones (the room was too small for more) crafting common explosive tags using Katon Fuin. He planed on making them until he ran out of paper and ink or managed to gain all five points in the skill.
In the meantime the real Naruto and a hundred clones would scour the sewer and use Illusions on the rats. It was high time he worked on those, he decided.
After three hours of hunting down rats, hypnotizing them and slicing them open he had recovered his cool and came to the decision that either the Hokage would take his words as him no longer being layal to Konoha, which wasn't too far from the truth considering all the lies and contempt, and he would never become a shinobi or the Hokage would see it as a him as an orphan trying to attract attention from others even if he had to hurt others to do so.
In the first case he might have to consider living Konoha and trying his luck as a mercenary or joining another Hidden Village while in the other he still ha the chance to become the Hokage like he had always dreamed.
Naruto sighted, and carried on in the sewers. He was entering the part under the Uchiha District when he noticed that it no longer smelt like, well, shit but of copper. Of blood.
Apprehension clenshing his heart he climbed the closest ladder and slightly lifted the round man hole cover and looked around.
Everywhere he looked He only saw people lying on the floor, covered in blood and obviously dead. The silence was earie, not a breath, not a scream from a survivor, nothing...
Naruto opened his equipment menu, equipped a hooded pull over and saves on the third slot under Uchiha Compund Massacre.
For that is what it was, a massacre.
Naruto lifted himself out of the man hole and after dispelling the clones in the hide out and the sewers therefore gaining expertise in the skills Katon Fuin (3/5), Nehan shōja no Jutsu (7/50), Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu (4/15) and Kokuangyō no Jutsu (5/15) and used Kage Bushin to send shadow clones in every home and see if anyone was still alive. He kind of knew that it was point less so he also instructed them to take anything of value they saw. No need to leave it to scavengers or the Hokage like it had happened for his family.
Just as he was considering going to the Head's mansion himself to get the Clan Jutsu he heard the pity pater of a small pair of feet and hid.
A small boy, obviously an Uchiha, was running as fast as possible,his face distorted by helplessness and desperation as he saw the fallen members of his clans and looked for his own family.
Worried he might cross path with the person that did this or with one of his clones Naruto determined that rendering him unconscious was the best thing to do so he flickered in the boy's back and, just like he did with Kakashi, choke held him until he fainted.
Still worried that the murderer was still here Naruto carried the frail boy on his shoulders and went back in the sewers where countless clones were transporting armful of storage scroll after armful of storage scroll to his hide out. Many of them looked at the original and its charge with curiosity but they still carried on. Once back in his hide out Naruto created two more clones, one went to his apartment to act as the real him while the other went to inform the rest of the clones that they had to hurry and dispel before they were spotted by Konoha guards or the murderer.
A few minutes later Naruto started receiving the memories of his shadow clones along with a list of what they had retrieved. Money, art, clothes, furniture, weapons and armors among which many were Chakra conducting, scrolls and manuals... The Uchiha District was a city of its own and had many treasures.
When the last of the clone dispelled Naruto discovered what had happened: the Uchihas were planning a coup and someone, most probably the old man, had decided to stop them at the source.
Naruto went to take the scroll containing the evidence of the Uchiha's plans and waited.
Less than half an hour later the boy, [Uchiha Sasuke, Lv.7, Civilian Child, Uchiha Clan Member], woke up with a start and wildly looked around. When his eyes found Naruto, still clad in his hood, they grew wide. The boy tried to get as far away from him as tears of resiggnation leacked from his eyes.
"Wh-why?"
"Why are you still alive? Because i saved you. Here, read this. You will understand on your own afterwards." said Naruto in his most authoritative voice as he three the documents explaining the coup step by step.
Sasuke trembled but still caught the scroll and after throwing Naruto a frightened look started reading. As he read further his expression changed from fear to incomprehention, realisation then comprehention.
"You killed them because they were about to betray Konoha."
It was not a question but a certitude.
"They did die for their betrayal but i did not execute them."
"Then who?!" demanded to know the spiky black haired boy.
"I don't know" admitted Naruto.
"You don't-"
His voice cracked and he weeped once again. Naruto let him but took the time to explain further.
"Who wielded the kunai does not matter. It is who ordered the execution that does. Someone found out about the coup and took action. It is possible they might not agree to a single survivor."
"I'm still in danger..." Whispered the last Uchiha.
"Yes"
"What should i do?" He pleaded.
"What they are afraid is a strong Uchiha looking for revenge on them, if you present yourself as weak and meak..."
"So I will have a chance if i cower and ramp?! No! I refuse it!"
The boy was now so furious that he forgot his fear and heartache and stood on his two legs firmly. Naruto found that he admired the boys spirit and smiled, deciding to help him.
After all he too knew the pain of loosing everything he cared for, of feeling it had been ripped away...
"Very well. In that case you will have to become strong. So strong that those responsible will cower in fear in front of you and regret the day they fanned your ire."
Naruto let a moment pass then...
"Uchiha Sasuke, i wish to help you. Will you become my apprentice?"
"Your apprentice? You want to help me get strong enough?! Why? Why would you get yourself in danger?"
"Because like you my clan has died in the name of Konoha's safety."
Sasuke eyed him warily and finally said
"Can i have time to think about it?"
"Of course."
There was a silent moment when none of them talked or moved then Sasuke had a wondering expresion and said
"Aren't you a bit small for a Jounin?"
"Of course, after all i'm just 8"
"8?!"
"Yes"
"Why would i become your apprentice if your a child yourself?"
"Because i am already a Genin which means i know Jutsus you don't.
"Like what?" Snorted Sasuke
"Like this" Naruto replied while walking up the wall then on the ceiling of the room.
Once again Sasuke was watching him with startle eyes.
"Or this"
Naruto flickered in front of Sasuke
"And this"
And used Kage Bushin to surround him.
""""I also have access to many Jutsus, they would be yours too""""
"Ok, ok... What's the catch?"
"...i am not technically allowed to teach you so it will have to be done in secret."
"So, why are you training me? Truly?"
"As i said, my clan was destroyed too. Having the support of the last of the Uchihas would be lf great help to my goal."
Sasuke had twitched when Naruto had called him the last of the Uchihas but otherwise he remained calm.
"And what would that goal be?"
"To get revenge on all those who profited from the down fall of my clan."
As he said it Naruto realized that it was true, he really wanted to get revenge on the Civilian Council and the old Hokage for letting them do what they pleased.
So be it. From now on this shall be my path.
Naruto was taken from his musing by Sasuke's decisive voice.
"I accept."
..0.
Naruto had taken Sasuke to a random location of Konoha with the instruction to act ignorant and told him that he would contact him soon and that until then he had to practice the Leaf Sticking exercise to obtain a modicum of Chakra Control.
Then Naruto had gone back to his hideout and put all the storage scroll in his inventory and evacuated the place. With the murder of an entire clan there was no way Konoha wouldn't put all its trackers on it and he had the feeling this time his little personal corner would be invaded soon.
He had gone to the Hokage tower and, after asking for a meeting with the Hokage was told that he was too busy but that his demand would be notified to him. Just like that Naruto knew that the Uchiha Massacre was already known to him and that he was busy dealing with the down fall.
After Naruto went to Ichiraku's where he was thoroughly berated for skipping his mid day shift. Naruto had to explain his shuffle with an ANBU and the Hokage himself to be pardoned. Still, he had to do twice as much cleaning that evening.
Once done with his ramen dinner Naruto returned to his apartment and started going through the Shinobi and Kunoich files the Uchihas had gathered in view of the coup. He was so absorbed in them that he did not realize the sun had risen until his neighbors shower started running.
He put back the files in his inventory and went to sleep to wake up twenty minutes later completely full of energy. He equiped his black trousers and muscle shirt and went out to run along the wall sometimes sprinting to work on his Dexterity, sometimes jogging to work on his Constitution and he would stop after every sprint to do a series of work outs to boost his strength.
When it turned midday he went to Ichiraku for his shift and was not surprised to hear rumors and whispers of the Uchiha Massacre. Word was that only Uchiha Sasuke, the second grandson of the Head, and Uchiha Itachi, first grandson of the Head and chosen to succeed him, ANBU squad captain and the youngest to ever have graduated the Ninja Academy, had been reported missing as his body had not been found amongst the others.
Naruto didn't know what to think of it, he suspected Itachi might have been involved in the Massacre but did not know how.
Maybe he is the one who told the Hokage about it...
If that was the case then Itachi was as much responsible for the death of his people than the one who killed them and the one who ordered it.
Should i tell Sasuke my suspicion? It would ensure his loyalty towards me but to do so at the risk of destroying his heart...
Naruto decided that he would tell the boy if Itachi ever resurfaced otherwise he would keep his suspicion quiet.
In the afternoon Naruto went back to his apartment where he carried on reading public library content to stimulate his Intelligence. As he wrote and read he would continuously cast a dice, trying to guess the correct number. He had found this method was the simplest to bolster his luck. Along with flipping a coin that is.
As for The Chakra stat he would need too spend the totality of his Chakra dozens of times to even make it rise by 1. To accelerate the process Naruto went to the Usumaki mansion grounds and used Kage Bushin to create twenty shadow clones who were told to work on Fuuton Daitoppa until their Chakra was exhausted. He did the same for Fuuton Kaze no Yaiba and Katon Gōkakyuu. This would allow him to gain levels in the three Ninjutsus while straining his Chakra which meant to increase it in the long term.
Naruto also had clones use Fuuka Hōin seals to negate and seal the effect of Katon Gōkakyuu, after all he had just finished cleaning the gardens having it burn dry and crispy was not an option and he had discovered while having a clone read the Uchiha's scrolls that the Clan specialized in the Katon Chakra Nature. If he was to teach Sasuke or ended up facing Itachi he would need to know their strong and weak points.
Evening came and the original Naruto dispelled his clones.
"The Ninjutsu skill Kage Bushin no Jutsu has reached 17/30"
"The Ninjutsu skill Fuuton Daitoppa has reached 8/20"
"The Ninjutsu skill Fuuton Kaze no Yaiba has reached 7/20"
"The Ninjutsu skill Katon Gōkakyuu no Jutsu has reached 8/20"
"The Fuinjutsu skill Fuuka Hōin has reached 7/20"
It would take several days non stop of this regime before he got even one stat point. So Naruto did exactly that, he trained for five days and would have still continued to train if an Hawk had not brought him a convocation to the Hokage tower.
Heart pounding Naruto presented himself to the Hokage's office and was told to wait until called in. Ten minutes later the door oppened and no other than Sasuke Uchiha stepped out. The boy was obviously restraining himself.
Naruto decided to use this oportunity to 'meeet' him for the first time and said aloud
"Don't let them see that they got to you."
The boy turned to him and his eyes locked on Naruto.
"Your voice..."
"Hum? Oh yeah, i know. I sound older than i am. Cool, right?"
"...right."
"You're the last Uchiha right? My condolences for your clan. It sucks."
"Thank you."
Sasuke was about to speak again when the secretary intruded and informed 'Mr Uzumaki' that it was his turn.
"Its the complete High Council." wispered Sasuke as Naruto passed by him.
That new sent Naruto in a tangent. The complete High council was gathered only for the matters of the utmost importance and surely his fight with Kakashi couldn't have been.
With no choice but to go foward Naruto stepped into the office.
