A/N: I would like to thank everyone who has read my story and have cast their vote on my next story idea. Now on with the story.

The Rambunctious Children And the Deadly Ninjas

"Okay, I will see each of you after the team meetings," said Naruto as he and Sakura watch both Ino and Hinata go off to their usual team meeting place.

"That was a very good breakfast Naruto-kun," said Sakura as she leans against Naruto only to have the young blonde wear his trademark fox-grin before he went to Sakura's ears and whispers a few word and this causes Sakura to blush scarlet and slap his arm before saying, "come on, Naruto we are too young, are you trying to embarrass me?"

"All come on, can't you take a joke, I know we are too young, but that doesn't mean I can't tease you about it," Naruto replies as he started to walk off with Sakura behind him to their usual team meeting place.

Meanwhile at the Hokage office

"Okay everyone, I called you here, because it's that time of the year again," said the old Hokage as he looks over to all the jonin sensei this year before continuing to speak, "Well, are there any nomination for this year's genin team?"

"I nominate Team 8, for this year's exam," said the red-eye kunoichi.

"I nominate Team 10 for the exam as well," said the jonin with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I nominate Team 7 for the exam too," said the one-eyed jonin as well.

"Well, it seems that this year's rookie are all nominated for the exams," responded the Hokage as he begin to hand out the form before a chunin step up.

"You can't all be serious, those genin are still too young don't you think that it's best to wait until they gained enough experience!" shout Iruka as he begins to protest about the rookies.

"Iruka brings up a good point, I mean look at me I held my genin team back for a year just so that they are fully prepare for these exams as well," said a jonin wearing a green spandex and shouting out the flames of youth.

"Gai, Iruka, I appreciate your thoughts, but when they graduated from the academy, they are no longer your student, They became mine, so I can judge whether they are ready for the exams or not, so you both need to back off," said Kakashi as he stares at both Iruka and Gai.

"Okay, I got it, but at least let me have a chance to test them first okay?" asked Iruka as he got jonin instructors' nod at his request."

"Well, if that is all then this meeting is adjourned," said Sandaime as he dismisses everyone in his office.

Back with Naruto,

Naruto and Sakura were walking through konoha until Naruto sense a familiar chakra signal along with two unknowns, then he look behind him and saw a rectangular rock, and shook his head before saying, "Come on, Konohamaru, you got to learn how to hide you chakra so that it wouldn't be so easy to find you along with your two friends."

This made Sakura turn as she saw the rectangular rock as well before having a tick mark on her head because one not only was the disguise very obvious, but second it interrupted her time with Naruto as well.

"Heheheheh, so you found us, you really are good enough to be my rival then," said a voice coming from the box as it exploded in a puff of smoke as three children pop up and started to shout, "we are the Konohamaru squad, "Moegi, Udon, and me the leader Konohamaru!" (I know, I know, I left a lot out, but I don't care and I don't remember that far back.)

Sakura was now wondering in her mind whether to either laugh at their childish games or hit the two male to a bloody pulp, while Naruto just stood there remembering his first encounter with Konohamaru.

Flashback

"So ojiji, are there anything else do you want me to explain or can I leave?" asked Naruto as he was in the Hokage office again for one of his latest pranks.

"No, Naruto you can go, but I wish you wouldn't do this all the time, it really is a bother having to do these paperworks along with dealing with your pranks," said Sandaime as he puff out a smoke from his pipe.

"All right then I guess I will just go then," said Naruto as he stood up and head towards the door until he sense an unfamiliar chakra signal and back up.

The door to the office open and in charge a small child about the age of nine, towards the old man, when suddenly he trip and fell to the floor. Naruto sweat-dropped at this newcomer's action and thinking to himself, "That is one of the most pathetic attempts to attack the Hokage that I've ever seen."

"Won't he ever learn? This is the sixth time this week at his surprise attacks." thought the Hokage as he eyed his grandson who was starting to get up.

"Man, I almost got him this time," said Konohamaru as he looks towards his grandfather then at Naruto. He then began to shout, "I would have gotten the old man today, but you tripped me didn't you?"

This made Naruto grow a tick mark as he grab the young boy by his collar and shouted back, "Don't go blaming me for your incompetence, you need better coordination since you tripped on your own."

"Honorable Grandson, Honorable Grandson, there you are, what have I told you about running off from your training, and who are you? Release the Hokage's grandson immediately!" said Ebisu as he just came into the Hokage's office chasing after Konohamaru.

Naruto then look back at Konohamaru, who has a smug smile on his face as he said, "Guess you didn't know that I am the Hokage's grandson, so are you going to let me go, you coward?"

This statement annoyed Naruto to no end as he let him go and started to shout, "I don't care if he is your grandmother!" Naruto then pound Konohamaru to the floor and walked out of the office.

"Should've expected that to happen, Naruto never did cared about titles and all that crap." thought the Hokage as he begin to go back to his paper work.

"That insolent whelp, how dare he harm the Honorable grandson like that, I will teach that whelp a lesson soon enough, come on Honorable grandson so that I may teach you the shortcuts to becoming a Hokage," said Ebisu as he look to the floor to find that Konohamaru was not there anymore.

"Ahhh! Honorable Grandson where did you go?" screamed Ebisu as he looks around the office for the small boy.

"Konohamaru went to find Naruto," replied the Hokage as he went back to his huge pile paper-works.

Naruto was walking back to his apartment went all of a sudden he see a boy pathetically hold up a cover to match the fence. Naruto stopped and looked the the kid before realizing that it was the same kid that tried to attacked the Hokage.

"What do you want, brat? And before you answer, why don't you learn how to conceal yourself better and look at your surroundings because your hold the cover sideways," said Naruto as he looks at the boy while shaking his head.

The boy only laughs as he begins to speak, "You really are good, I guess you are worthy enough to become my rival."

"What do you want brat, because I've got no time to spent playing with you," replied Naruto as he stares at the boy.

"I want you to train me!" Konohamaru shouted as he points towards Naruto.

"Why do you want me to train you? You already have a jonin train you." Naruto respond.

"Because you different than everyone else, you're the only one that ever looks at me for me and not as the Honorable Grandson of the Hokage," said Konohamaru as he looks down to the earth.

"Okay, but what are you training for?" asked Naruto.

"I want to become Hokage and make everyone realize that I am Konohamaru, and not just a grandson of a Hokage.

"Okay, then follow me then," said Naruto as he went towards the forest to begin Konohamaru's training, but not before creating a shadow clone and telling it to go to the library and read some books on basic sealing.

As they got to the forest Naruto had Konohamaru practicing hand seals to get him used to molding chakra.

"Let me tell you, something Konohamaru, there is no such thing as shortcut, to become a Hokage. A Hokage gains his reputation, not by defeating the previous one, but by doing deeds that help this village, The hokages work their butts off in order to get to the position that they work for, there is no road on how to become Hokage faster only, through hard work and determination, will you be able to become great." Naruto ranted his speech while Konohamaru look at him and nodded his head.

But before Konohamaru spoke a work, a puff smoke appear and revealed Ebisu, who was panting, as he catches his breath said, "There you are Honorable grandson, I have been looking all over the place for you, now come so that we may continue you training.

"No way Ebisu-sensei, Naruto is theon who is going to train me!" Konohamaru shouted back shocking Ebisu.

"You are kidding right, Honorable grandson, there is no way that this parentless whelp will be able to train you on how to become Hokage," said Ebisu as he just did the one things that he shouldn't have, which is to insult the memories of his parents. "Only I am qualify to train people on how to become Hoka.." Ebisu never got a chance to finish as Naruto slammed his fist into Ebisu's face.

"Don't you ever dare insult my parent, I teach you to go and insult a person's past!" shouted Naruto as he continue to stare at Ebisu as he picks himself up.

"You brat, I been waiting a long time to teach you this lesson, Now you will understand the full power of a jonin," Ebisu said as he walk towards Naruto before he stopped and his eyes widen at the object that Naruto pull out of his kunai pouch. (I know that I said he creates them, I am just doing this so that it looks like he grabbed, so please do not misunderstand.)

There in Naruto hand was a tri-pronged kunai. "It can't be possible there is now way it should still exist," Ebisu back off, but before he took another step a yellow flash appear where Naruto was and then behind him, as Naruto unleash a barrage of punches to the shocked jonin, effectively knocking him out cold.

Konohamaru stood there shock as he didn't understand what had happen, as he only saw Naruto disappearing in a yellow lightning and then reappearing behind Ebisu and beat the crap out of him.

"Konohamaru, talent can only get you so far, you must push yourself to become stronger and then everyone will know your name, oh and by the way do not, speak of this event to anyone or the old man will have your head, so tell it to this guy as well okay?" asked Naruto as he received a silent nod from Konohamaru walk to the direction of his apartment.

After that event Konohamru respected Naruto's wishes and continued to follows him around to this very day.

Flashback end

"So Konohamaru, what do you want this time?" asked Naruto as he looks to the three children.

"We just wanted to ask if you could play ninja with us Naruto-niichan?" Konohamaru answer with another question. He then look to Sakura and said, "Who is this Naruto-niichan, your girlfriend?"asked Konohamaru causing Sakura to blush, but that didn't last long with what Konohamaru said next, "She is ugly are you sure you want to go out with her, she has a huge forehead." Konohamaru laughs as his two friends tried to calm him down apologize to Sakura.

Sakura was now furious, because he just insulted her forehead which, she is still very sensitive about. "So I have a huge Forehead huh?, I'll teach you to insult me like that!" shouted Sakura as she chased after the running Konohamaru.

Naruto sweat-dropped at their action and decided to get Konohamaru out of this predicament before things get out of hand.

Konohamaru was now running for his life as he looks back to see Sakura gaining up on him, he then turn the corner and hit something causing him to fall back.

"Hey Brat watch where you're going!" shouted a voice as Konohamaru was picked up by his collar.

As Sakura approach the turn she stops and sees the brat being held up by someone with a sund village headband.

"Hey let me go!" Konohamaru squirms as he tries to get to the ground.

"Please release the boy sir? He is only just a kid," ask Sakura as she slowly approaches the man.

"Yeah Kankurou let the kid go, already," said the blonde girl right beside him.

"No way Temari, this kid bumped into me, and there is no one who is going to stop me from teaching this brat a lesson!" yelled Kankurou as he turn his attention back to Konohamaru but he stop as he felt a metal edge near his neck.

"I would advise you to release the boy, or do you want to cause an international incident for harming the grandson of the Hokage," said a voice from beside Kankurou.

Naruto was right beside Kankurou as he held his weapon ready to kill the sand-nin.

"This guy is fast how he did get near me like that?" thought Kankurou to himself.

"This boy is cute; I wonder if he will be in the exams this year?" Temari asked herself while looking towards Naruto.

"Kankurou, let the boy go," said a voice from the tree. Everyone looked up to find a red hair sand-ninja with a large gourd on his back upside-down on a tree branch. Naruto saw that both Kankurou and Temari's faces beginning to pale as Kankurou let Konohamaru go and tries to explain himself.

"Gaara, it's not my fault this kid…" Kankurou sputter as Gaara release a huge amount of killer intent before saying, "Shut up, you are an embarrassment to the village, don't disgrace yourself any further or else I will kill you,"

Naruto watch as Konohamaru went to take cover behind Sakura with Moegi and Udon, Sakura in a position ready to defend them.

Naruto went back to Sakura as Gaara shushin down in front of them before saying, "Tell me, what is your name?"

"It's Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze," replied Naruto as he received a nod from Gaara as he left before ordering the other two go back to the hotel.

Naruto just stood there wondering what is going to happen soon as he look to Sakura as she had the same expression on her face as well.
