Naruto digs around the bottom of his closet, searching for the box he keeps the things he is not supposed to have in. When he finds it, Naruto drags the box out and opens it. The box is actually the orange box from the prank-kit Hinata gave Naruto for his sixth birthday. Now days he keeps his pranking supplies seal in scrolls. Naruto dusts off the box and opens it. He hasn't really thought about it much over the last few years. It's not that he forgot about this stuff, it's more that he hasn't felt the desire to pull it out of the cupboard since his grandparents arrived. And, coupled with the fact that Naruto couldn't even get at the box during his floating stint, the whole thing was pushed to the back of his mind.
But now, for some reason, Naruto feels like pulling the stuff out and looking at it again. Carefully Naruto pulls out the Fourth Hokage's cloak and unfolds it, looking at the kanji on the back. Last time Naruto took out the cloak, he could not read the kanji. Now he is pleased to realize that he can read every single one.
Smiling, Naruto lays the cloak across his lap and pulls out his father's old white jacket. Naruto smiles, remembering how Iruka niisan wore the jacket to the chunin exams. Naruto puts the jacket on and hugs the cloak to his chest. Naruto takes the last item out of the box. It is the scarf his mother made for him. The scarf was in the box when he started floating, and he never retrieved it, wanting to keep it safe. Naruto winds it around his neck, even though the weather is warm.
"Mum, Dad…" Naruto whispers happily. "I'm a shinobi now. I'm gonna make you proud and become the Hokage!"
Naruto gets up from his kneeling position on the floor and heads over to the shelf where he keeps his school text books. He takes the Whirlpool History book off the shelf and goes back to the orange box. Carefully, Naruto folds up his mother's scarf and places it carefully in the box. Then he takes off his father's jacket, folds it carefully and puts it beside the scarf. The cloak goes in next, followed by the Whirlpool book, which Naruto nestles on top where it will be comfortable. He knows most of the book by heart anyway.
"I wish I had a picture of them," Naruto sighs. Lord Third never did give Naruto's grandparents his parent's stuff. That's right! Naruto had planned to steal the photo album! Well, there's no time like the present!
Naruto grins mischievously.
Naruto sneaks into the Hokage's house, confident that he will find what he wants undiscovered. Naruto sneaks into the room where Lord Third keeps all those boxes of stuff without being detected. Naruto quickly locates the appropriate box and retrieves the photo album. Then he seals it into the lining of his jacket and puts everything else back the way he found it. Then Naruto sneaks out of the room, looking left and right before sneaking down the hallway. Naruto sneaks down the hallway before freezing in his tracks when he hears voices. One of them he recognizes.
What's Mizuki sensei doing at the Hokage's house? Naruto decides to investigate.
He sneaks down the hall and pokes his head around the living room doorway, where the voices originate. Naruto peeks suspiciously around the door frame to see nine masked and cloaked people standing around a small boy wearing a long blue scarf. One of the cloaked people has large scroll tied to his back.
"You put that back!" the little boy is shouting. "That belongs to my grandpa!"
"What do we do with this little runt?" sneers one of the masked guys.
"Kill him," says the one with the scroll.
"Are you sure? He's just a kid!"
"If you don't have the guts, I will!" The one with the scroll steps forward.
Naruto realizes suddenly that the one with the scroll is Mizuki sensei. Since when was Mizuki sensei evil?
Naruto decides it's time for him to take action! He steps forward and says, "Leave that little kid alone, you bastard!"
"Get lost, runt!" sneers Mizuki sensei. "Or I'll kill you!"
"Um, Boss?" one of Mizuki's henchmen says nervously. "You can't kill him incase…"
"Shh!" growls another of the henchmen, clapping a hand over the other guy's mouth. "You know it's forbidden to talk about that!"
"That doesn't bother me!" boasts Mizuki. "I'll kill the little punk anyway. Give me your best shot, kid!"
"Right!" Naruto cracks his knuckles. "Here's your favourite! Sexy Jutsu!" Naruto transforms into a naked hot babe with long blonde pigtails - just the way perverts like their girls.
Mizuki sensei gets a massive nosebleed like Naruto knew he would and passes out cold.
His henchmen just stare in confusion and slight disgust. Then one of them, a woman judging by the shape of her chest, says, "Grab the boss, we're leaving before anything else happens."
"Right!" One of the men picks up Mizuki and tosses him over his shoulder. The group leaves so fast Naruto is reminded of Uchihas running from his threats to draw mustaches on their faces.
"That was so cool!" crows the little kid, grinning up at Naruto with big, shiny eyes. "Can you teach me that awesome move?"
Trying to act cool and aloof, Naruto rubs the bottom of his nose with one finger, and says, "What makes you worthy of my tutor-ship?"
The kid glares up at him. "I'm the Third Hokage's Grandson! I'll get him to make you teach me! Anyway, I want to learn that move so I can beat him with it and claim the title of Hokage!"
Naruto hits the kid over the head. "Stupid brat! That's not how you become the Hokage! You become the Hokage when everyone recognizes your strength and wisdom and respects you for it, then appoints you Hokage!"
"Don't hit me!" the kid yells back. "I'm the Hokage's grandson!"
Naruto's eyebrow twitches and he hits the kid over the head again. "I don't care if he's your Grandmother! Don't use his status for your benefit!"
The kid rubs his head and glares up at Naruto. Then he asks again, "Are you going to teach me that jutsu or not?"
Naruto considers this. "Fine, kid. But you are not allowed to teach it to anyone else!"
"My name is Konohamaru!" the kid snaps.
"So what? Mine's Naruto. Now let's learn that jutsu!"
"No, Konohamaru! Thinner!" Naruto orders as Konohamaru tries the sexy jutsu yet again. "Taller! Give her a bigger bust! That's more like it! Now give a little wink and blow a kiss! There we go, that's what a sexy jutsu should be like! Now do it again!"
Konohamaru transforms again, and this time he gets it right on the first try.
"HOW DARE YOU INVOLVE YOURSELF IN SUCH VULGAR BEHAVIOUR!"
Naruto and Konohamaru turn guiltily to the angry man striding towards them.
"Oh no, it's my tutor Ebisu sensei!" Konohamaru whines.
Ebisu storms up to the two boys, but stops in his tracks when he sees Naruto. The look he gives Naruto is one Naruto knows all too well.
"Honoured Grandson," says Ebisu in a very lecturey voice. "If you consort with this kind of...vulgar person you will never be Hokage. You must follow my teachings-"
"Let's take him together," says Naruto. "On three: One, Two, Three, Sexy Jutsu!" Both boys transform into their best sexy jutsu forms.
"GAAAH!" Ebisu holds out for as long as he can, but once Naruto and Konohamaru start cuddling up to him, he suffers a bleeding nose and passes out from sensory overload.
"Wow, this jutsu is really effective!" crows Konohamaru, dropping the transformation. "I'm definitely going to use it to beat the old man and become Hokage!"
"What's your problem with the Hokage?" asks Naruto.
"My Grandpa named me 'Konohamaru' after the village, but no one ever calls me by my name, even though they know it!" whines Konohamaru. "As far as they care, I'm just 'The Hokage's Grandson'! I want them to acknowledge me for who I am, and not who my grandpa is - that's why I want to be Hokage!"
"That's too bad," sneers Naruto. "Because I'm going to be Hokage! If you want to be the Hokage, I'm afraid you're gonna have to go through me first!"
"But I want to be Hokage!" Protests Konohamaru. "And I want to be Hokage RIGHT NOW!"
"Don't be so stupid!" counters Naruto. "You can't be the Hokage unless you earn the title! The title of Hokage comes with a lot of respect and honour! What makes you think anyone would want a whiny brat like you as Hokage? You want everything right now, like it's your right! But let me tell you: if you want to be Hokage you have to work for it! It will take years, but there is no other way, except to work hard and do your best! Once people know you and respect you then they will appoint you Hokage! It's a great honour to be named Hokage, not something you can just have because you want it!"
Konohamaru stares up at Naruto.
"You think you're the only one who has to fight for recognition?" continues Naruto. He is on a roll. "I had to fight my whole life! Even your teacher gave me that disgusted look everyone except my family and friends give me! My friend Shisui told me once that his whole clan has to fight every day just to be accepted in the village they helped found, but thanks to me and Hinata, they are friends with more people every day - dunno what we did, but that's not the point! The point is: if everyone else works so hard towards their goals then why should you be any different?!" Naruto turns away from Konohamaru and finishes by saying, "Do you get it? There are no shortcuts in life!"
There is a brief silence before Konohamaru yells, "Don't order me around and lecture me like that! You're nothing special!"
"Neither are you...yet, Konohamaru." Feeling his work there is done, Naruto walks off like a boss, leaving Konohamaru to his own thoughts.
