Naruto walks into the Hokage's destroyed office in the Hokage cloak and hat. He closes his eyes as the wild breeze whips through his hair and whips the flaps of the Hokage hat. He watches the sun start to set in the sky. The sky had turned from a bright blue to a blood red and orange. A young ninja walks behind the Hokage and bows. Naruto turns around and sees the ninja bowing to him.

"Hokage-sama. We have met before." Naruto looks at the boys face hard and soon remembers the face. This was the kid who he had saved from some rebel ninja in one of his last defenses of Konoha as Hokage. The kid was a slave to the ninjas and he was only 9 years old. Naruto had saved him from an untimely death. Naruto turns back to the setting sun.

"I remember you, kid. The final rise of the rebels. What do you want from me?"

"We have decided that you can become Hokage until a new one is chosen and the battle is over." Naruto doesn't turn around.

"All right. But I choose who is on the council and when we strike. I am taking full control in this time of emergency."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." He bows and leaves the destroyed office. Naruto takes one final look at the setting sun and starts to walk to the council chambers. While walking to the chamber the boy he had just talked to runs up to him.

"What is it, boy?"

"We need names for who will be on the council."

"First will be Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura as the head councilors. I will give more names later." The boy bows and rushes out of the hallway. Naruto leaves the tower to inspect the damage of the village. Walking behind Naruto are Sasuke and Sakura. The townspeople are silent to honor his courage. They are all bowing at him for what he did at his age. Naruto sees Gaara and the boy. Naruto walks up to the boy and he gets to his knees. The boy and the rest of the people around him are in shock as one of the greatest Hokage's ever is bowing on his knees before a boy who had no ninja skills or experience. Naruto slowly gets back to his feet and looks at the boy in the eyes.

"I heard of your bravery against a Jonin level ninja. You stopped him long enough for someone with the strength to be able kill him. To me, that type of bravery makes you a great ninja already." He ruffles the kid's black hair and hands him something. It was the necklace that Tsunade had given him for mastering the Rasengan in a week. Naruto smiles and walks on to inspect the damage to the village.

Around an hour later, Naruto is sitting around the large circular table with Sasuke and Sakura sitting at the table as well.

"I know that we should have Shino, Shikamaru, and Ino on the council for their excellent tactic skills. They also decided that they would allow a few newer ninja onto the council so that they could know what to do when Naruto no longer has any power in Konoha. Naruto finally decides that the last member of the council will be Kiba. The council comes together for the first time

"First, I think that there is something very important that needs to be discussed about this Daisuke fellow. We know that he certainly isn't what he seems. When I was fighting him here, he used a technique that I hadn't seen since my first years as Hokage. It was a technique that only one person knew. It was a summoning technique that was developed almost 80 years ago. It requires a human sacrifice for the summon to be completed and the 3rd Hokage had to fight against two of these summons. The only person in recorded history to know and use this technique was the Sanin, Orichimaru. I also saw Daisuke use a technique that turns his tongue into a snake which attacks the enemy. I only saw Orichimaru use such a technique against one of my mentors, Jiraya."

"I thought that you had aided Sasuke-sama in killing Orichimaru many years ago."

"My colleagues and I have been fighting dangerous ninja for close to 75 years. Never make assumptions about anything or anyone. Especially someone like Orichimaru. Orichimaru spent his entire life to find ways for him to live forever. He might have found a technique for him to be able to fuse his soul to someone's body and use it like a shell, but he can pull out at anytime and rejoin his own body."

"How could someone develop such a technique?"

"Orichimaru has much experience and skill to help with the development of many techniques that are forbidden to even think of. Orichimaru is a VERY dangerous opponent. If I know that Orichimaru has such a technique to fuse his soul into a temporary body, he might only be allowed to put in as much chakra as the body can handle in a sudden jump. Orichimaru is much more powerful than the fake Hokage I just fought. I need time to be able to find out where Orichimaru is hiding. We need to step up security for any sudden attacks." Suddenly, a guard at the door pulls out a kunai and leaps at Naruto. Naruto just sits and grabs the guard's hand. The guard speaks in a voice much like a snake's.

"YOU THOUGHT YOU FINISHED ME OFF, NARUTO! I WILL BEAT YOU AND RETAKE MY VILLAGE!"

"This is my village, Orichimaru." Naruto breaks the guard's wrist and impales him with the kunai. Orichimaru hisses and the guard's body is incinerated in an instant. Naruto stands up and suddenly he feels weak. He falls back into his chair and massages his temples. He sees Orichimaru in his mind. Naruto does the only thing he thinks that can stop it. He stops all chakra in his brain and releases the chakra. The newer members of the council are swept off of their feet from the sudden release of chakra but the older members like Sasuke and Sakura remain standing as wind whips their clothes and hair.

Naruto suddenly sees himself in some sort large black ring. He looks around and sees Orichimaru standing about 50 feet away. He stares at Orichimaru, who stares back.

"I guess I need to weaken you, Orichimaru, if I want to get out of here."

"You can never escape, Hokage." Hisses Orichimaru.

"That's what you said before I killed you. How did you come back? I know Sasuke killed you and Itachi. I felt your pulse stop."

"Kabuto found a way to bring my soul back." Orichimaru forms seals and his long tongue turns into a snake and it charges Naruto. Naruto is barely able to grab it before it bites him. Naruto pulls Orichimaru off of his feet by pulling Orichimaru's tongue and delivers a fierce punch to Orichimaru's face. Orichimaru falls to the ground, slightly dazed.

"I hope you learned some new tricks to be able to beat me this time, Orichimaru." Orichimaru grins.

"I won't disappoint."
