I do not own naruto anime, manga or other released formats.

After 6 months of doing nothing but C-Rank missions Naruto was feeling like he was still doing D-Rank missions. Let's face it compare to the missions and battles during the war everything else seemed way to easy, and after his mission in ANBU everything was like a walk in the park. They eliminated bandits, did escorts, spied on suspicious businesses and even use a henge to go in a bar and catch a bartender selling liquor to a minor. Naruto had to stop 2 of his students from actually having any alcohol. They were told the effects on their bodies and the morning after. It was sufficient to say the boys would never touch the stuff for as long as they lived, or at least until they were no longer minor they told each other in secret.

Yori was flirting constantly with Itachi, and it was driving most of the teammates in different stages of emotional distress, Menma was jealous so much so it interfere with the team's teamwork. Itachi was royally pissed, he was mad because much like his father. He wanted a girlfriend that had more than simply looks he wanted a lady with a mind, skills and looks. Someone much like his mother who he considered the perfect lady. Naruto was having a lot of headaches trying to keep the group focused. It was after one mission that where it not for Naruto's shadow clones it would have ended up in several severe injuries that made him finally put his foot down. "Yori, you might like my son, and yes you are quite cute. But my son is much like me. If you do not have an educated mind and the skills of a top kunoichi you're chances are slim to none. So stop flirting and concentrate on your skills and learning. Try to get a guy to see your talents, rather than just your looks." Yori understood what he meant, and would in some cases ask him what attracted him to his wife. The answers surprised her in such ways that she became totally dedicated to getting stronger, be smarter and have some really useful talents. This made most of the trouble go away, well that was until they reached the stage that Naruto called the raging hormones but that was a few years away, which Naruto was very grateful for.

In a Rank B mission they had to kill and impersonate some drug smugglers. The mission was to pretend to be a part of a big drug farming and distribution ring. The mission would be considered C Rank, but it was known that several of the members had some sort of military or ninja training. To Naruto a wash out was a wash out. But the genin did know that and without him there they would be nervous wrecks. The mission progressed rather well until one of the men made a pass at Yori who henge herself into a rather scantly dressed woman, some would call her a whore, but in reality the identity she took was of a hired killer with a horrible temper. One guy touched her rear end in a rather rude way and let's say that poor jerk had only 1 hand when he was dragged by some other thugs to be treated. "Vanessa don't you think that was too much? The poor idiot was just getting a feel, not enough to cut the guys hand off." Yori gave him the look of an absolute psycho. "You touch when I don't want you to, and parts will be cut off. You have been warned."

Naruto knew that she was acting, so did the boys but it sort of looked so natural that Itachi and Menma wondered for a second if she was really acting. Maybe this was the reason she never had a boyfriend in the academy. Yori was no drop dead sexy babe by any means, she was pretty average, but that did not mean that she was not actually kind of cute. Menma actually liked her, and wanted to be her boyfriend, but she was always after Itachi so that made the situation a bit awkward between the two.

Naruto had done this sort of mission before so he knew exactly what was needed to complete it. He needed information on the main plantation fields. Once he had that he could simply go there and destroy it. This would upset the organization and they would all attack him in a rage. An angry opponent was easy target for him. There were easy to confuse and even turn against each other.

But this mission had a complication by the looks of it. A class S rogue ninja by the looks of it had managed to bump off the leader of the group already and was doing his best to take advantage of the entire organization to make vast amounts of money. He looked up in his memory who was an known to be an extremely greedy rogue ninja of that class. The black hairs he saw in the leader's pillow gave him the clue he needed. Great he was dealing with one of the zombie rogue ninjas, Kazuku.

As he watched his surroundings he asked something in case the man was listening, "Kazuku, would you mind telling me why are you still running this group if you bumped off their leader?" A man apparently had finished his shower and was drying off. "Sure thing, Oni. Let me get dressed first and we can have a right down friendly chat." As the man finished dressing he looked at Naruto and smiled. "Why run this group simple I like to feel financially secure and it was the best way to get the idiots in this country to send you my way." Naruto took out his katana and was ready for a fight. "Wow, hold on there. I want to talk don't need to go for your sword. Nice sword by the way." Naruto relaxed a little or so he looked like. "So what you want to talk about next?" Kazuku began to drink what appeared to be a cheap bottle of liquor. "Well you see my current boss, wants to meet with you. Something about you having something with 9 tails logged inside you. He also wants to meet you because of a reason I just don't get. How can you be his grandson? As far as I know Madara didn't even marry anyone." Naruto simply told him that was family business and outsiders did not need to know about it. Kazuku laughed hard when he heard the reply, "You just answered the same way he did when I asked him. Boy you Uchiha are a private lot." Naruto was pretty sure his students were going to check up on his progress. "Where and When?" Kazuku looked a bit confused, "Oh, you mean the meeting that would be today at top of the 1st Hokage's head, around 9 p.m." Naruto told him that he needed to bump off the entire drug dealing scum in the group he pretended to be leader, and if he did that he would meet the man today. But every single one of these scum die. "Oh, alright. It just such a waste of perfectly good money. You know someone else is going to pick their business up sooner or later. You want to end the drug trade for good, end the consumption of it. Without demand their will be no business." Naruto simply told him some people will always be idiots and try to escape their lot in life the easy way. "Which is why the drug trade never seems to end." Kazuku told him as he walked off to organize a meeting with the entire organization. "Be there. I am going to finish these fools off as you requested." He told Naruto as he saw him and 3 others walk off near him.

The next thing they heard was a whole lot of screaming and a person doing some extremely cruel things to them by the sound of it. "He might be a cruel, greedy heart stealing zombie, but at the very least he kept his word. Ok, team as soon as we get to Konoha please tell the Hokage what you learned. Itachi tell your mom I will be a little late." His son understood, Menma was pissed and told him that he should report. He just told the boy that he had to learn to do it, he would one day would have to do it for every mission, might as well get in some practice now. Naruto left towards his home, but in reality he left towards the meeting place.

When he arrived he saw a red armored man waiting. "It seems that mental imprint I left in you did good work, I have many questions for you my dearest grandson. Good work with the clan by the way, making a way for the clan to be able to have the eternal magenkyo sharingan was a stroke of genius." Naruto looked at the man and activated his sharingan to full power. His eyes scanned the man, "I happen to be told by said mental imprint, that I am from an another dimension. Even Kurama has told me in our many discussions. I know that the Madara in this dimension was a crazy with a godhood complex, and he never married. These eyes are the one's my grandfather passed on to me when I was young. So tell me how can you be my long dead grandfather?"

Madara was surprised, who knew that the mental imprint would tell him that much. "I was also transported to this dimension and happen to meet the Madara from this dimension. The fool thought that he could simply take from me all my knowledge. Instead I took all of his, and switch my soul with his. I later killed him and now have my eyesight and am younger than when we separated. So tell me grandson why did you not want the position of Hokage? Why would you pass up that honor that was rightfully owed to our clan?" Madara sat down, and waited for his grandson to answer.

He too sat down and deactivated his eyes. "Grandfather, if you study history you learn something very interesting. In the entire history of Konoha specially the position of Hokage, the ones that were made Hokage are the ones that are the strongest, true. But there is another aspect which everyone forgets. Every one of them did not want the position at all. The ones that became Hokage did not want the position, authority, or prestige. They accepted the position after they were named as a sacrifice for the good of the village." Madara began to see the truth in what his grandson said, the only reply he could answer was a nod and "I see, so you don't want the position. If the village named you Hokage would you accept?" Naruto looked at him with a serious face, "For the good of the people and village I would have to. But tell me grandfather would you accept the position or rather spend your life with my dearly departed grandmother?" Madara understood what he was trying to tell him. "Yes, I would love to spend my days with my beloved once more. Naruto I have to tell you about my plan to save the 10 tailed beast and how to bring about true peace. So Naruto please give me a few more hours and you will see what I have envisioned as the path to true peace." Naruto looked at him with a stoic look on his face, waiting to hear the plan. This had been a strange day and it was about to get stranger still.
