Naruto takes over
Chapter 2: Naruto as a candidate
Hinata thought to herself as Sakura was trying to bore Naruto with her list. "Today is the first Naruto Day. I wonder how it would end up to be. Speaking of Naruto Day, it makes me recall how Naruto has became the Hokage."
Time: 15 years ago
Naruto has just became a Chunnin. "Perverted hermit! Would you teach me more techniques? Onegai?" "Iie. I've got some important things to settle with Tsunade-sama." The white haired sannin replied to the eager blond chunnin. "Tsunade baa-chan? Can I come too?"
Jiraya and Naruto was quiet throughout the whole journey to the Hokage tower. "Ne, ne, perverted hermit, is what you're discussing with Tsunade baa-chan very serious?" Naruto asked. "Hai." Was all that replied Naruto's question.
Soon, they reached the Hokage Tower. Naruto was sent to the library to wait while Jiraya and Tsunade settled their matters. Naruto walked along the aisle of the library. "Wow, so many books. What should I look for? Ahhh. I can take this opportunity to look for books on jutsus and ninja related stuff."
Scene: Hokage's "Office"
"Tsunade. What's this about you wanting to retire?" Jiraya asked.
"I'm getting real tired of this Hokage thing. I'm dying! cough cough I've been a Hokage for the past, 3 years? cough cough And I have not been able to gamble! The officials said that it'll ruin Konoha's image. cough cough And, as a Hokage, I should not encourage gambling. But how can I stand it?! cough blood You know, I'm such a fanatic of gambling. And I'm not allowed to set up gambling dens, or casino or –"Tsunade was cut off by Jiraya.
"Wakata. But this is your duty as a Hokage. Unless you can find a replacement at such a short time. But, the replacement must be worthy of the title Hokage. So, who do you suggest?"
"Naruto." The 5th Hokage said.
"Naruto?! But he's barely 14! And he's only a Chuunin." Jiraya asked in disbelief.
"Train him! Let him go through the Jounin exams!" Tsunade replied boredly.
"Huh? That'll take, years? Probably 5! How can you stay for so long? And I think Naruto is too childish for the title Hokage." Jiraya asked in even more disbelief.
"Yeah. I'll be very obedient. I'll do everything that I should do until 5 years later." Tsuande promised.
Scene: Library
Naruto was holding a few books in his hand. "Hmmm. I've got these books called, 'Amazing Jutsus', 'How to be a good shinobi', 'Training management'. Etc. I guess I'll do with these for the time being. Hope I can read though. I'll get Sakura-chan to help me! If she does..."
Since Jiraya and Tsunade have not came out of the "office" yet, Naruto sat down in a couch and started reading 'How to be a good shinobi'.
After a while, Jiraya and Tsuande came out and were surprised to see Naruto reading.
"See, I told you he'll be a good candidate." Tsunade whispered to Jiraya.
"Naruto! It's time to go. Take the books with you if you want. And go back home to have a good rest. I'll be training you tomorrow. Be ready, it'll be a straining day." Jiraya told Naruto strictly.
