Naruto pov

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful May you hear my prayers, For I have been loyal to you for thousands of days

As I wept and cried, For my loved ones both previous and present. Please save them as you have saved me

Save them from their ignorance of your divine presence and make them seek you as a point of enlightenment

I am one of your chosen

Please hear my prayers as You are all-knowing and caring

Taking a deep breath after my prayers just to be greeted by the smell of cold and snow. There is a very certain charm to the snow-covered rooftops of Konoha with chimneys that can be seen producing mist. A byproduct of the heater that Konoha used to heat their home.

" Growl, blink, blink" 'I was doing my Fridays monologue but ok '

Getting up from my seat. I walk toward my fridge to make some food. Accompanied by the sound of the fridge opening them is really depressing. I forgot to fish before the winter ugh. " Sigh, ramen it is."

Dressing quickly in my orange jacket, white t-shirt, and mom's red scarf, Kakashi also gave me a goggle, he said I reminded him of someone. I've never used them, but eh first time for everything.

Quiet, Konoha is quiet people are staying inside their houses not used to the cold air that is dominating Konoha's temperature right now 'calm, peaceful, and quiet the perfect trio'

I was stopped by my musing when I heard the sound of children laughing and crying, three boys bullying, and what looks like a young Hinata.

"Hello" I waved my hand at them

"Who the hell are you," said the kid in the front looks like he's the leader

"Boss, it's that kid," lackey number 2 said

"Ohh, grins, well well if it isn't the monster in human form."

" Blink blink, sure." Being unbothered, I walk past them to inspect Hinata.

"What, hey don't ignore us," the leader said angrily, obviously insulted by my lack of care for their intimidation and insult.

"Yeah don't ignore us who do you think you are, loser." well the son of the 4th Hokage, the heir of the Uzumaki clan, and a soul sent by God to save the world.

"Are you ok?" I ask Hinata

" Nod" 'good'

"C'mon let's get you out of the cold.'' I extend my hand to Hinata so she can stand up more easily and drag her to leave with me. Before I can leave the place with Hinata, I can sense that the three kids are throwing stones in our direction, but Before the stones hit us a wall of golden light stopped the stones Hinata seems scared before the wall appears but now it's just confusion that can only be seen with her and the three bullies.

"What how"

Using my chakra to make my voice sound more intimidating and clear. "I wouldn't throw more if I were you." the effect is immediate as the leader of the group whimpers to his knee.

"Run!!"

"Boss wait," said lackey 3

"Are you ok" Hinata is looking at me with pure aww 'oh no'

" Nod" well I'll deal with it later yeah later…. no reason to think about it now, right? I'm going to be arrested by the multiverse FBI frick.

"Are you hungry?"

" Shake shake"

"What did they say to you that made you sad?"

"They said I'm a monster because of my eyes." typical easy enough just contradicts what those brats just said to cheer her up.

"Well they're wrong I think your eyes are beautiful, they look like the moon when it shines the brightest, smile " Hinata's eyes widen when she looks at me 'oh no gotta make this fast before I'm qualified to be jailed under the pretext of grooming.

"Well bye then see you around

"Wait" trying to avoid myself from charming Hinata more I run and wave at the same time toward ichiraku ramen.

'Let's hope that it doesn't bite me in the ass in the future….. Yep, I'm doomed.'

"Hello Teuchi ojisan"

"Welcome ahh, Naruto the usual?"

" Nod"

"One miso ramen with extra Narutomaki coming right out" I love ichiraku ramen like holy this place is truly a little part of heaven.

"So Naruto, how's your day?"

"It's fine Ayame nee-chan"

"You're becoming taller and taller naruto."

"Really?" My expectation for my height is low even though I ate properly I'm still below average when it comes to my body height.

"No"

"Humph, that was evil Ayame nee-chan"

"Awww, naruto is pouting father O kawaii koto."(how cute, guess that reference) damn it I failed again.

"Ahh Hokage sama welcome the usual?"

"Ahh, here you are Naruto, yes Ayame the usual"Jiji?

" one tonkotsu ramen coming right up" Jiji sits right next to me but he seems conflicted.

"Naruto, do you want to join the academy?"

"Yes Jiji"

Hiruzen pov

Yesterday

Konoha has hope for peace, for now. The situation with the Uchiha clan has been somewhat stabilized with Itachi and shisui at the helm trying to convince the rest of the clan to remain loyal to Konoha. The problem is how long can we maintain it. Even though Itachi and shisui are holding the Uchiha clan from the path of rebellion, how long can they hold them long enough to make amends when Itachi is old enough to become a clan head? Alternatively, we can make Shisui or Itachi become Hokage, but that is too unrealistic even though they are certainly powerful and talented.

Shisui is too young compared to Kakashi, who is the student of Minato, who is the student of Jiraiya, who is my student, and so on and so on. Kakashi's claim is so strong that it made unacceptable to most of the clan head and Konoha population for someone else to become a Hokage, almost impossible even. Only the Hokage advisors and the remaining loyal sannin can be accepted by everyone besides Kakashi.

The unofficial Hokage succession line is passed down from teacher to student. How did that rule take precedence in Konoha " sigh" it's because of the last student and top student rule this team is usually a heavy assault team so it's usually the most skilled shinobi besides the Hokage that can train them and the most skilled shinobi beside the Hokage is usually trained by the Hokage. There is an unofficial title for the jonin that leads team 7 circulating amongst high-ranking ninja, heir of the paperwork. Because of the high chance of you becoming the next Hokage.

The leader of team 7 is usually the preferred heir by the current Hokage because of the team's prestigious nature the team is only activated when a highly promising batch is graduating and the team that is accepted have a high chance to be a Hokage candidate.

As for Itachi, he is strong, no doubt about it his potential is almost the same as Minato but that's where the similarity ends. His personality is not fit to be Hokage. He doesn't have the charisma or social skill of one. A Hokage is not someone that is the strongest in the village, but a leader, and a leader needs charisma and leadership ability which Itachi doesn't have a single ounce of. Why don't you just take this damn hat already Kakashi."

" Sigh" what a mess we are walking into the future.

"Creek, hello Hiruzen still trying to find a successor. "

" Snort, you know me too well Danzo. So why did you come to my office this evening? you usually visit me when something important is happening."

" nothing of sorts. I was having a discussion with Homura about something." discussion?

"About what?"

"No hiruzen about who"

"What is the conclusion Danzo"

"We need to lay down the pats for Naruto to become the Hokage."

"Reasons?"

"Are you sure Hiruzen we're talking about Naruto here, a genius and someone with his persona alone can already be eligible to almost become a Hokage candidate?"

"I know that I just want to hear your and Homura's discussion."

"He is talented, charismatic, kind, brave, resilient, wise and more importantly he is the child of prophecy." We have discussed this multiple times.

"Why are you so sure? Why are Homura and even Koharu agreeing with you that Naruto is the child of prophecy." Do these people don't understand placing too much burden on a single child? Have they forgotten what Konoha is about why it was founded?

"Hiruzen when I saw Naruto for the first time I saw potential so I made my spy follow him unsurprisingly he found out about them within 2 days."

" You what!!!" How dare he

"Listen to me hiruzen"

" How can I listen to you when"

" Listen, taking a deep breath, you don't expect me to just do nothing when Naruto has been attacked by our ninja." He's right that Kakashi's mission to protect Naruto is over because Naruto does not have bodyguards.

I calmed myself Danzo is selfish but his selfishness is always to see Konoha becoming stronger." continue"

" cough, As I was saying I ordered my spy to continue the mission and protect him at the same time everything Naruto does after he leaves his house has been reported to me."

"Where are those reports?"

"Here, open page 61"

'Feeding a blind beggar while the beggar cursing his name. When observed the subject showed a considerable amount of patience when feeding the beggar even though the beggar is cursing his name he never angrily feeds the beggar. Never fasten his hand out of spite, but gentle he smiles when being cursed by the blind beggar and occasionally laughs or adds something to the conversation. He is gentle and never showed any sign of anger. When asked about his identity he replied ' I'm just an orphan' even to this day he still feeds the beggar, overall Naruto Uzumaki is the most patient chi- no man The Anbu agent has seen and reportedly made the field agent cry for the first time since he joined root.'

"Is this real?"

"Yes"

" Let me think about it, you can leave."

"Read the rest of the report you know this is the right path to build by the gods no. by God."

"Since when did you become monotheistic Danzo?"

"A dream. after I met the prophesied one" he is getting more and more superstitious, but reading this report." smiles"

"Minato, Kushina, you would be so proud of your son."

" Knock Knock" hmm " knock-knock" sigh he's not here, freezing sound, it's cold out here. 'hmm ramen yep ramen.'

"Wait!!"

'The Hyuga heiress' where is her bodyguard?

"What are you doing little lady'

" ho-Hokage sama I was doing nothing" a timid girl

"Who did you scream towards too?"

"A boy" her face is red like a tomato

"Ahh I see "

"n n not like that I mean I mean he saved me"

"Who?"

" He has blond hair and a whisker mark. Father, the maids, and everyone else think he's a monster but monsters don't save me from bullies." Her face is getting redder. ' not even a teenager and you have managed to capture a woman hearth the council of pervert have a new…. pretend you never heard that.

"You are right, young Hinata, he is not a monster but the protector of Konoha, you are one wise young lady."

"Th thank you Hokage sama"

"Can you show me where he is headed?" She pointed at a way to ichiraku ramen.

"There"

"Thanks, young Hinata, but you should probably go back to your home because it's cold outside."

"H hai"that's one point for you Danzo

….

"Ahh Hokage sama welcome the usual?"

"Ahh, here you are Naruto, yes Ayame the usual." was he pouting about something. 'chuckle'

" one tonkotsu ramen coming right up" sitting beside Naruto. I'm having doubts about this plan.

"Naruto, do you want to join the academy?"

"Yea, Jiji" I'm going to regret this

"We usually start school when you're 7 or 8 years old, but. you can join them at age 6" please say no please say no.

"Can I know about my father's identity faster"

"Yes" a sigh he's going to join

"I'll join Jiji"

"School will start in the next 6 months and be ready. I will send you the school supplies for you tomorrow."

" Nod"

"Order up"

" let's eat before the ramen run cold"

" Nod aggressively" I fluttered his hair because he is too cute right now.

"Pout"

"Oh kawaii koto" teuchi, Ayame, and me

Omake-canon

"That demon, he's doing it again." Arashi is a normal merchant and right now he and others passing by are seeing a familiar sight before them.

"That blond child is such a demon. My eyesight is lost because of him I lost my house and everything."

"Ehmm, jisan open wide amm." He comes every day to feed the blind man. The food is always different, some even look tasty.

"This food Is great my boy, did your mother make it?"

"No, I'm an orphan. My mother was killed 5 years ago." yeah right like we believe that.

"It's because of the demon you lost your mother because of the demon the demon killed your mother."

"Hmm" he never gets angry when the blind beggar curses his name.

"How can people not see that he is the demon incarnate? The people of Konoha should just put him on the stake where he belongs."

"Hmm jisan open wide be careful this one is hot."

"You are such a kind young man, I have ever seen a child with such compassion as you."

"How can you tell jisan?"

" I can sense it boy you are truly a kind boy may the gods protect you."

" The food is out jisan I will come tomorrow ok, smiles,"

"Of course my boy I see you tomorrow." with that the demon has the audacity to kiss the forehead of the old beggar as he leaves.

"See you, tomorrow boy. why can't every child on this earth be like him, and that demon is more like him." Eventually, Arashi, getting a bit angry by the demon acting as the kind boy, decides to tell the old man the identity of his only caretaker.

"Old man"

"What Is it you brat"

"Don't you know who that is "

" The kindest and most patient young man I have ever graced to hear and feel in my 70 years of life, never have I seen such a kind and patient person in my entire life."

"No you old man, the identity of that child is the demon." how can he not realize it yet?

"BWahahaha, next you're going to tell me he's the child of prophecy."

"But I'm telling the truth," I said angrily

"Yeah, right there is no way a child can be so patient and gentle while feeding the same person that is cursing you at the same time if he really is the demon and this whole time he's been feeding me then my hate for him for the last 5 year is unjustified and we all know how wrong that is."

"Suit yourself" Arashi and the crowds that are listening to the old man ramble just can't comprehend what just happened, but there is something certain in their mind, a question that is being played over and over again until they find the answer that satisfies them. 'is our hate to that dem- no boy is justified?'
