AN: hello guys and gals. I recently just finished an anime series I never knew about. I feel like I've been living under a rock. But any who, the readers are going to see some changes, cuz my heart has definitely been impacted by this anime, it made me see things in a different way.

Lets go one with it!

Chapter six

The Opposition II

Naruto gulped audibly. He could see the Kyuubi grin at this. His fear was just another piece of entertainment. He could feel the heat rising around his body. He was in his jumpsuit again. He used a finger to pull his collar forward, and allow air better access

"I really want to take you up on this offer…but, I can't." the Kyuubi rose and glared down at him. There was nothing it could do now. His container was going to get him killed. The bitch.

"I really want to, but I can't, especially now that I know you killed my parents. They never wanted to abandon me. They just couldn't be there because you decided to kill them." They glared at each other fiercely and they Kyuubi growled. There was movement to the right of the Kyuubi, his doppelganger.

Naruto took a fighting stance as his mirror image continue on forward. It stopped right in front of him and began to speak with the wisdom of an experienced Kage "You know nothing. Would you kill your captors on the field if you had the chance? Would you seek freedom and flee from mindless wars? Would you struggle against your enemy, even when he has you cornered" each time his doppelganger spoke a question he wished more than anything he could punch it and scream 'yes' to it's face. But that was beside the point of this conversation.

Naruto looked up at the Kyuubi and it began interpreting "I do not wish to die before I get a chance at freedom. I want a deal. At the point of your death, you will come in here and release the seal completely. I will destroy the one who bested you and then flee from sight. To sweeten the deal I will make you stronger presently, in hopes that you can keep from falling on your own kunai. I will help in every aspect of your growth. Be it as a leader or a fighter"

Naruto stared with contemplating eyes, it was a sweet deal. As sweet as caramel. But the consequences that followed were…devastating. After his death word will definitely spread about a free roaming demon. Many would rush to capture it. And many would die. And out of those many could be Konoha shinobi, following their Rokudaime's orders. He had to choose a successor wisely.

He looked up at the two. They had a valid point. Protecting their existence. And Naruto really wanted to be like his doppelganger. He heaved a sigh and spoke "Give me a week. And I will have your answer." The Kyuubi nodded and Naruto faded out of the seal.

In the outside world. Naruto stirs up and awakens to his bedroom. He gets up from bed and strips down butt naked. He looked at himself in the mirror. Toned muscles, short, but growing blond hair. Bright blue eyes and a thin lip. He began thinking. 'What the fuck am I doing? I should definitely take his offer, its not as if I have any other choice. I'll just have to lay down instructions for Konohamaru' Naruto nodded to himself in the mirror, entirely convinced his little disciple would be the next Hokage.

He turned around to his alarm clock and cringed at the time. He was supposed to be at the office by eight…it was ten. 'Damn you Kyuubi!' he had completely slept through the ringing while talking with his demon. He sped into the bathroom and began scrubbing his teeth with some new famous herbal toothpaste. He grabbed his soap bar and began washing his face, making sure not to forget to scrub 'down there'. He slipped his cloak on and ran out the window. Only to rush back upstairs to grab his white scarf.

He jumped down the mountain, letting the wind blow in his face, with his legs spread out like he was on a happy vacation at the beach. Getting closer to the ground, he let his feet touch the rocky surface and attached himself to it. He spear-headed for his office, his sandals making that clacking sound it always does. He could see his office window. He nodded to himself and threw a front-flip, letting his hands touch the mountain surface before pushing himself off.

He fell downward and he prayed the old folks weren't awake yet. He landed on the window like a spider, only to see the old wrinkly woman scowling at him 'Take the proper way in' she mouthed. Naruto head fell and he fell from the building.

He took the proper way in and ignored each and every greeting given to him. He stomped all the way to his own office like a spoilt brat. Occasionally whispering things like 'grumpy old hag' under his breath.

He pushed the door and went straight to his armchair. He huffed at the silence and stole a glance at the old folks, they didn't look angry.

Aw shit!

He couldn't justify himself beginning angry if they aren't!

He heaved a sigh and bowed his head "Gomen nasai Koharu-obaasan, Homaru-ojisan." His head stayed that way until Koharu recognized his apology with a 'hnm!'

He looked up at them and sighed, he picked up his pen and began working. "By the way, you're working extra time today, the village may be rebuilt but that doesn't mean paper work won't be around"

Naruto just stifled at 'extra time' he kept on signing, even as a tear drop fell from his eyes.

Next day.

Naruto had made it to the office early this time. Turns out, Kyuubi was actually giving him the breathing space he asked for. This way he could wake up early and not have to dry his pillowcase out because of sweat.

He sighed. He still hadn't gotten a chance to speak with Jiraiya about his parents. He was beginning to dread his job. But he still loved it. Without it, he wouldn't even have a reason to talk to Jiraiya about his parents. He sighed again, heavier this time.

He hadn't seen Hiyori since the day of his inauguration. And that was almost two months ago. He was wondering when her father would push her to come lick his feet. He slipped the interview file and singled out hers. He was alone in the office at this time. The old folks had probably gone home to crash or went out to play shogi or something. He stared at her picture for a while. It certainly wasn't the same person he spoke with at the Ikumori compound. This person was more revealing, telling you everything about her and everything you wanted to know. The person he met was more…concealing. Her eyes held many secrets and her mind held great knowledge. She was brilliant. And Naruto was interested.

He looked down at the appointed date she was to come for her interview for the post of his assistant. July 16th. It was currently a Monday, July 2nd. At least two weeks before he saw her again. Naruto cursed. He looked at the paperwork by his left hand side and cursed some more. He was giving Kyuubi his answer on the 7th so that wasn't an option. He would just have to 'run into her' on Saturday the 14th. He created two clones and began to walk out, leaving them to do the paperwork, even though they grumbled, they obeyed. On his way down the stairs he called out to his present assistant.

"Tsubaki! Clear the 14th for me will ya!" she nodded fiercely "Godaime-sama, you have a schedule with Koharu-sama and Homaru-sama on that date though, do you still want me to clear it?" Naruto nodded his head and waved his hand.

"If they object, tell them I've got other things to do on that date. My orders. Got it?" she nodded fiercely again and went ahead to cancel the date.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto walked joyously down the streets of Konoha. Men, women and children sending smiles his way. He had a grin plastered on his face but most couldn't see it. He had a bounce to his step that made the citizens calm and reassured. Everything was going to be fine.

He reached his destination. Ichiraku ramen! The place to eat like a god!

He sat on one of the empty stools, ignoring all the wide eyed stares.

"Teuchi-san!" Naruto called out. The old man that own the shop popped into view. "Ah! Hokage-sama! You're here!" Naruto smiled and nodded at the old man. "I'll put everything on hold. How many of your regulars do you want?" Naruto tapped his chin and stared up. Finally coming to a decision his head snapped down to look at the old man. "I'll have three Teuchi-san…to go!" The man nodded with understanding and walked into his kitchen "Three miso ramen going out!"

Naruto smiled to himself as many began crowding around him. Women, for some reason kept on showing him their babies. Naruto picked one up and looked at it. In his personal opinion, the baby was…pretty ugly. He couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl. He kissed the baby's forehead through his scarf. His nose scrunched up as he perceived something…foul!

He stared at the baby with disgusted eyes. It had just decided to poop the minute he kissed it. Naruto agreed that the baby was evil. It even giggled at his expense!

"Hokage-sama…" he heard a voice say. He handed the baby back to it's mother and turned to meet Ayame's sad, broken eyes. He really had to frown at this. This was the first time he saw her this sad, other than the times he shared his sad story with her. "What's wrong, Ayame?" Ayame perked up from fiddling with her finger nails to looking at her Kage with wide eyes. She never knew the Hokage had the faintest idea what her name was. "You know my name?" Naruto eye-smiled at her, but ignored the question.

"Tell me what's wrong, Ayame" she nodded to herself and gulped. "I've been meaning to ask, but only your assistant comes here, you only come here at night mostly and I'm sleeping by then. What I'm trying to say is…do you have an idea where my friend is? His a shinobi too" Naruto nodded

"And who would your friend be?" Ayame bit her lower lip and fidgeted "I'm not sure you'll answer me if you knew who he was…" Naruto was really beginning to get irritated. Who exactly was this person that Ayame was looking for, and why wouldn't he like him?

"What's his name, Ayame…I have some where to be" she nodded vigorously. She was wasting time. "Uzumaki Naruto, he hasn't been around for at least a month now. We are missing him a lot" the crowd around Naruto began gossiping. He heard things like 'Ohh now she going to get it, the Kyuubi brat?' 'You're kidding me right? I heard the Hokage was a former Anbu, he must have lost a lot to the Kyuubi brat' '…Kyuubi brat?!'

Naruto sighed. He stared at Ayame passively. Her eyes held a strong defiance to what was being said. He chuckled, the crowd's murmurs halted and he kept on chuckling. "Uzumaki Naruto huh? And you thought I wouldn't answer you because…?" the question hung, waiting for Ayame's answer.

She shook her head and spat out her answer "Because this village hates him wrongly! He should have never been the sacrifice for the kyuubi's sins! He should never have been the pariah of the village! He should be the hero… he should be praised for his courage… he holds the beast within him, I can't say how many of us would willingly live with the murderer of our parents, siblings, uncles, cousins , aunts, teachers! He lost too, so why is he hated for being a hero!?"

The crowd had been silent. Some had broken into tears at the mention of lost relatives. At this point Teuchi had brought his ramen and begun scolding his relative for being rude to the Hokage. He dropped a few coins on the counter and Teuchi turned to him with eyes that said 'please don't shut us down!' Naruto chuckled once more. He made his voice sound more mature before speaking with authority.

"You still have that fierce spirit Ayame…I agree with you…a warden shouldn't be blamed for the sins of his prisoner. Instead, the police should be blamed for not being strong enough to stop the criminal fast enough. Uzumaki Naruto IS a hero. He saved us from the Kyuubi with the help of the fourth. And he single-handedly stopped Ichibi from destroying the village. I would say fighting bijuu is in his blood. As for your question, no, I have no idea where our hero is, but I'll send him to you with his tail between his legs for breaking your heart!"

He walked out of the crowd, they had made a pathway for him. He really hated not being there for Ayame, he began to understand why the third never seemed to be around for him. The Kage's hat was a heavy one, one with paperwork as a paper weight.

He really had to thank Ayame for standing up for him like that. He sniffled and clenched his fist. He'd cry when he got home.

Naruto made his way into the underground T&I unit. He knew the way to Sasuke's cell enough. He nodded to the people greeting him. He held the plastic bag that held his miso ramen cups. He reached his teammates cell and greeted the warden. "How is he?" the warden made a weird face, as if some stuff had gone down. The warden shrugged.

"Well ever since Sakura Haruno came by, in the depth of the night last week, he has been looking…never better?" the warden shrugged, his hands in the air, he still had that funny face. Some of the guards chuckled at the warden's behavior. Something was wrong here.

"What did they do?" Naruto asked impatiently. The warden backed up a bit before giving Naruto a 'you will not like it look' but Naruto persisted.

The warden knelt to his level and whispered into his ear, the most shocking thing he had heard in his life.

Naruto backed away and looked at the warden with disgust. But before he could scold him the warden had a good excuse. "Your order where not to tamper with Sakura Haruno and her affairs, same thing went for Hatake Kakashi" Naruto gulped and walked into the transparent cell with the hugest scowl he could manage. It was no one's fault but his

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto walked into the cell. Sasuke sat in a corner, beside him was a bed and in front of him a toilet seat. Naruto glared at his old teammate what he and Sakura had done had broken him. She could have at least told him.

Naruto grabbed at the only chair I the cell, it was metallic and cold. He dragged it and set it down in front of the Uchiha. He turned it so the back of the chair was facing Sasuke. Then he sat.

His glare disappeared when he realized it wasn't their fault. It was his. He smiled. A fake smile. He pulled out the ramen cups and handed one to Sasuke. "Ramen!" Naruto said cheerfully. The Uchiha just stared at it with no idea what to do with it. "Take it" Naruto urged at the Uchiha, the cup still hung by his fingers, the steam flowing out was beginning to hurt. "You know its way better than what they give you here." The Uchiha bit at his thumb, drawing Naruto's attention to his hand. His knuckles were bruised, and dry blood still hung by the tips. He had obviously been punching at the walls.

Naruto shrugged and let the ramen fall to the ground. It spilled.

Naruto drew his own cup out and broke his chopsticks. "Itadakimasu" he said before digging in. he slurped the ramen up and stared at Sasuke. He frowned.

"I heard Sakura came by. I see you couldn't control yourself after she gave herself to you…literally" he heard Sasuke stifle a laugh. He took in more ramen before saying "no…its okay to laugh. I know you're thinking it. I become hokage and I still cant get the love of my life to love me back." At this Naruto's silent treatment ended. Sasuke burst out laughing at his old teammate.

"Hahah! Naruto! You have no idea how much fun it was getting back at you." He said. His voice was raspy. Like he hadn't drank water in ages. "and guess what Naruto!" Sasuke's hair hung around his face, it had grown untamed over the past month. His mouth still hung open after a few seconds of silence. His face was still frozen in that delightful look of insanity.

"Go on, say what" Sasuke said. He still had that look on his face.

Naruto frowned before saying "What?" at this Sasuke burst out laughing. He raised his hands to the roof and said

"I'm going to do it again Naruto! I'm going to get back at you!" before he had finished his sentence, Naruto had stood up abruptly, causing the chair to fall and his ramen to spill.

Sasuke kept on laughing. 'Perhaps I kept him in here too long'. Naruto turned his back and begun walking away. It was too late to release him. He had gone mad. Looks like Sakura is going to be the mother of the next generation Uchiha.

As Naruto left the T&I, an Anbu operative dropped down beside him and said "Sir! Lord Danzou has called a council meeting they are waiting for you presently."

What did they want now? The first council meeting that was held was because of Sasuke's imprisonment. They had a long winded conversation-more like argument- that ended with the decision of using artificial insemination on the Uchiha if he refused to cooperate. And this Danzou dude didn't seem to like him at all. Even though he agreed in the end with Naruto's decision he seemed to have a personal beef with Naruto. To say Naruto was unnerved by the fact that Danzou was calling this meeting was an understatement.

At the end of his mental argument Naruto heaved a sigh and turned to the Anbu that was waiting for his command by his side. "Take me there" the Anbu nodded sharply before disappearing with Naruto.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto and the Anbu arrived in front of the council doors. Naruto gave the Anbu his thanks and he pushed the doors open. All the eyes in the room shifted to take in is form. He gulped as his eyes met with Danzou's one eye. The man was quite scary for a cripple.

His feet took his body towards the lead chair. The hokage's chair. He sat on it and saw it was higher than last time. Last time he needed to have pillows set on the chair before his head could make it over the table. He inwardly cursed his short height. That growth spurt better come soon.

He began the meeting the way he was taught to, he clapped his hands and the first word goes to the Hokage. "Lord Danzou. What have you brought me here for?" the old wrinkly folks taught him that his subjects were always below him no matter who they were. He was to address them as they were. Beneath him. And that's why he had to sound so irritated when someone calls him to a meeting. Not to say he wasn't already irritated. Damn Sasuke.

Danzou spoke with that 'wise old man voice' he always had on "Hokage-sama. I have called this meeting to discuss the outstanding gap in our military force. The gap that you once filled as a jinchuriki. But now that you are Hokage, that gap remains open." Naruto made the most confused face ever. He was lucky he had his scarf on.

"But I'm still here, I don't see where the problem lies. That is if there is a problem, is there?" Naruto asked. Koharu sang into his ears to ask questions at all times. She even taught him how to assign blame.

It was Hyuuga Hiashi's turn to speak. "As you may know, a Kage cannot be on the front lines in times of war. He or she is the one to decide the outcome of the war. Once that is decided. He or she is then able to set foot into the war front."

Aburame Shibi then took a turn in schooling Naruto. "A jinchuriki is sent to the front lines to decimate the enemy. Reason for this is because of their unrivalled strength."

The ball then jumped back to Danzou, more schooling "As both, your priorities as a Kage come first. It would be detrimental to wait until the war plans are decided before sending you in Hokage-sama. The losses will be great."

Naruto had begun to see their reasoning, but he still didn't know what they wanted out of him "So what do you want me to do? Do you want me to step down? What do you want from me?" he asked.

Yamanka Inoichi waved his hands "There's no need for such Hokage-sama" Naruto frowned at this. If not that, then what was this meeting set for? Naruto turned to look at the one who called the meeting. Danzou.

"You called this meeting. What do you, suggest?" at that moment Naruto could have sworn he saw Danzou crack a smile.

"I suggest…we get another bijuu of our own" Naruto's eyes widened. Another bijuu!

"It would make sense Godaime-sama. Do not shut it down yet" this was Koharu. What was she thinking?

"Godaime-sama, Koharu is right. It has been done in Kirigakure, their leader is just like you" Naruto had heard just about enough of this.

"ENOUGH! This is Konohagakure! I am its ruler! And I will not sit back and watch how a child will be forced to become a tool of mass destruction. I will not!"

Koharu went to try again but Naruto had already begun to stand up. "I do not want to hear another word of this, understood?" seeing them nod their heads he walked out of the room leaving a stunned audience.

Danzou turned to Koharu and Homaru and said "I see you've done a stunning job in bringing his confidence up" she spat at this, her face twisted in a scowl at the turn of events.

"What do we do now Danzou?" she said. All of the clan heads had droned out after Naruto's outburst. Danzou just stood from his seat and began to walk out too

"We do nothing Koharu. He will see to reason. Our Kage is no fool" Koharu just stared at her old friend. Danzou hadn't always been unreadable, he showed emotion, and his face wasn't stony back then too. But he just seemed to go out it when Hiruzen became Hokage. Just what was her friend planning?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto had rushed out of the council room a few minutes ago. He'd hoped he'll go take out his anger on paperwork, but the clones he left had finished all the work. He sighed and laid on the couch in his office, it was brown leather, extremely comfortable. But that was just it. This wasn't a time to feel comfortable, the council had just dropped an anvil on him. What type of decision was he to make? Terrorize a country for their bijuu, or wait to be terrorized? He had no idea what to do. He needed someone to talk to. Someone wise and old. Jiraiya!...oh that's right, he left the village for some super important information retrieval mission. Tsunade was out of the question, she wouldn't care one bit for Naruto's present distress. That left Kakashi. But the pervert had been avoiding him since that time on the mountain. He definitely couldn't talk to Homaru and Koharu. They were on Danzou's side.

Naruto heaved another sigh. It seemed that ever since he became Hokage, everything and everyone seemed to turn against him.

"Hmph! I may not be on your friends list but I still count as an ally" Naruto jumped up at the sound of his bijuu's voice "Come in here child, we can talk here" Naruto nodded to no one in particular, but still sat back down in a meditative position .

Not too long after Naruto found himself in the seal, in his jumpsuit. He sighed "You know this is my mindscape, why do I still wear my jumpsuit?" he asked the Kyuubi. The large beast snorted and sat.

"Any fool could answer that. But that's not why you're here. I already know what has happened. But I do not see your dilemma"

Naruto sighed at the Kyuubi. He took a deep breath and began explaining "I have no idea what they want me to do! I cannot take away another child's life, just because I want to make my village strong!" the Kyuubi glared at Naruto with great disgust and spat

"You have become a leader. Your sentimentality is not needed. Your father did the same thing you refuse to do. HE was strong, you are weak. Besides…no one said it had to be a child" Naruto stared with his teeth clenched and his eyes hard. "Bijuu can be sealed into anyone with a strong body, or anything with a strong surface. Are you so foolish to believe that I have been sealed into infants only? Your mother wasn't an infant when I was torn from an old woman into her!" Naruto backed up and stared at the beast. He was really getting schooled today.

"My mother was a jinchuriki?" the Kyuubi growled at Naruto and stopped his attempts of diverting the point.

"Of course she was. How many Uzumaki do you think there are in this world. But that is beside the point. You can easily find a volunteers if you bring this out publically, no, it should be restricted to the shinobi only. Just don't get us killed before you can get me out of here. Now, be gone with you pest!" the Kyuubi swiped his paw against the bars and the sound wave pushed Naruto out of his mindscape.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto didn't completely understand the last part of what Kyuubi said, but he was straight to the point. If another bijuu kept him alive, so be it. But that was Kyuubi, Naruto still wondered what to do about this. If he wanted to capture another bijuu. He needed to have all the info on their jinchuriki before he went for them. But that was a big if.

"Tsubaki!" his assistant popped her head into view, waiting for instructions "Get me all the information on the bijuu and their jinchuriki" she nodded her head and disappeared into the archives.

He needed Jiraiya here. He needed advise.

AN: I know I took long and I know I've kept you waiting but here it is. My chapter six! I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you have your opinions ready. I have seen many fanfics where Kyuubi has to be sealed into an infant and an infant only. But I think that's a big blunder to the canon. As you can see I have proven my point in the chapter, but who cares? Its just fanfic right?
