Hokage tower
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as he looked over the I.D of the Ninja in front of him. "I am surprised Naruto I would have thought you would try to go for one last prank." He said as he looked up at the Ninja in question. Naruto no longer wore his orange jumpsuit. Instead, he was wearing tan shorts and a black short sleeve shirt with the Uzumaki spiral in the back. He had a kunai holder on each leg and two equipment pouches attached to his belt
Naruto just smiled and rubbed the back of his head. "Yay well, I guess Tsuki's has started to rub off on me." He replied. 'That and she wouldn't let me and force me to get a new wardrobe by burning all my jumpsuits.' He thought in slight annoyance.
Hiruzen smiled back. "Now I have some work to do and I am sure you have some training you want to get done so you Should-" He started to say when the door to his office burst open and a brown haired kid wearing a yellow shirt, blue shorts and a helmet that resembled the Second Hokage's ran in holding some wooden Shuriken.
"I got you this time Old man!" he yelled out as he raised his hand to through the shuriken but suddenly tripped and fell onto the floor.
Hiruzen let out a sigh as he looked over at the kid on the floor. "Konohamaru, What are you doing here."
Naruto looked between the two of them. "Do you know this guy Old man?" he asked.
The Hokage nodded. 'Yes, He is my Grandson." He said as he took a breath from his pipe and leaned back into his chair. "He is supposed to be training right now." He added with a stern look.
Konohamaru ignored his grandfather and rubbed his head. He took a moment to look around. He noticed Naruto and jumped up and pointed at him. "You! You tripped me!" he yelled as he jumped to his feet.
Naruto blinked and stared at him. 'Is he serious?' he thought and let out a sigh. "Look kid you tripped on your own feet when you ran in here." He said as he turned his attention from the Hokage to Konohamaru. "If anything you should apologize to your grandfather for interrupting him."
"You lying I know it was you!" Konohamaru Growled at him.
Naruto just shook his head and walked up to Konohamaru, and whacked him on the top of the head. "You're such a brat. If I really tripped you don't you think your Old man would be telling me off." He said in an irritated tone.
Just then the door opened again and a man wearing simple Ninja gear, sunglasses, and a bandanna walked in and glanced around the room. "Honorable grandson there you are." He said as he walked towards him, giving Naruto a brief glance. "You shouldn't run off like that, if you ignore my training it will take you much longer to become Hokage."
Naruto rolled his eyes and made his way out. "I'll see you later Old man." He said as he walked out.
Naruto spent the next hour or so getting some supplies for the apartment. As he started to walk back him he glanced to his side and yawned. Attempting to head there using a cloth to match the wood was a kid from the looks of it. Sadly he had the cloth backward so he was easily spotted.
"You know you're using that wrong, you're supposed to have it the other way around." He said. The person dropped the cloth and revealed himself to be the same kid from the Hokage's office.
"Hey you're the same kid from before, Konohamaru right?" Naruto said as he looked at him somewhat confused.
"Woah You must be good in order to spot me when I'm hiding," Konohamaru said as he gathered up the cloth.
Naruto just stood there and shook his head. 'Does he really think he was hidden?' he thought as he watched the Hokage's grandson.
"I hate to break it to you but it wasn't that hard, you need a lot more practice." He said and then turned away to continue walking home.
Hey, wait!" Konohamaru called out. Naruto turned around and looked at him.
"Do you need something?" he asked, somewhat irritated.
Konohamaru looked Naruto in the eyes, He had a serious expression on his face. "I want you to train me." He said.
Naruto looked at him and blinked. "You want me to train you?" he asked and Konohamaru nodded. "Don't you already have a Sensei?"
Konohamaru looked at the ground. "Ebisu is ok I guess, but he keeps talking like his training is the fastest way to becoming Hokage." He explained. "P-plus He keeps calling me Honorable Grandson instead of my name."
Naruto nods in understanding. "I see, you do know I am a genin so I don't have much I can teach you right?" Konohamaru nodded and looked down at the ground disappointed. "But that doesn't mean I have a thing or two I couldn't teach you." Naruto added with a smile.
Konohamaru looked up. "R-really? You mean you'll teach me?" he asked excitedly.
Naruto nodded in response. "Come with me and we can get started." He said and started to lead Konohamaru off to the academy training ground. "BY the way my name is Naruto Uzumaki."
Upon arriving Naruto turned towards his student. "So first things first, do you know what Chakra is?" he asked and received a nod in response. "Good that saves us some time. What I am going to show you will seem boring now but in the long run, it will be immensely helpful." He said as he picked up a leaf and removed his headband.
He put the leaf on his forehead and started to use his chakra to keep it there. "This is the Leaf Sticking technique. It helps you with your Chakra control. The objective is to hold the leaf on your forehead using only your Chakra. You do this by focusing your Chakra at your forehead and try to have it hold the leaf." He explained as he leaned forward to show the leaf would not fall.
He then picked up a Leaf and handed it to Konohamaru. "Go ahead and try it."
Konohamaru took the leaf and put it on his forehead and upon letting go the leaf fell to the ground. He tried again but got the same result. This continued on few a few minutes and Konohamaru was starting to get frustrated.
"Konohamaru, relax it will be harder for you if you let your frustration take over." Naruto said as he walked closer to the boy. "If you relax and just try to focus on your Chakra and the leaf you can do this." He added. Konohamaru opened his mouth but Naruto raised his hand to stop him. "I know it is hard, trust me I probably had the worst time trying to do this but it will be well worth it. Learning and doing Jutsu will become a lot easier once you get this down."
Konohamaru stood there silent for a little bit before nodding. "I think I understand." He said and started the exercise again. Slowly but surely the leaf would take a bit longer to fall.
"See you're getting it now, it was just a matter of time." Naruto said with a smile.
Konohamaru nodded excitedly and smiled. "Thanks, Naruto." He said with a smile.
Naruto smiled back at him. "Your welcome Konohamaru, be sure to keep this up and maybe you 'll get to tree climbing." He said. Konohamaru nodded before focusing back on keeping the leaf on his forehead.
It took Konohamaru another hour for him to keep the leaf on his forehead for a few minutes.
"Good job Konohamaru," Naruto said with a smile. "Just be sure to practice this every day and once you can keep the leaf on your forehead for an hour I will teach you how to walk up a tree."
Konohamaru nodded. "I will Boss." He said with a smile.
Naruto turned to leave with Ebisu dropped down in front of him. "Honorable Grandson I finally found you." He said as he rudely walked pasted Naruto, bumping him a bit as he did so.
"Come let's continue your training, you don't want to be associated with a person of questionable reputation." He said as he glanced over at Naruto. "And as a Genin, there is very little he could teach you."
Konohamaru shook his head. 'No Naruto Nii-san has already taught me something awesome." He said and demonstrated the leaf holding technique. Ebisu looked at him in surprise and turned to Naruto who had a big smile on his face. "Can't teach him anything useful can I?" he asked in a snarky tone. "In a few days if he works on it I'm going to teach him tree walking." He said and turned to leave. "See you later Konohamaru keep up your training and you will go far."
Ebisu just stood there in surprise for a few moments before he could recompose himself. He turned to Konohamaru and fixed his sunglass. "You should probably head him we will continue your training tomorrow and try to make up for all the training you missed today."
Konohamaru frowned and nodded before he made his way back home.
Naruto's Apartment.
After a relaxing walk, Naruto returned to his apartment and was greeted by the smile of dinner as he walked inside. "Tsuki, I'm home." He called out as he kicked off his sandals and walked towards the kitchen.
In the Kitchen Tsuki had just put the finishing touches on the chicken she was cooking and she turned towards him. "Welcome home Naruto Nii-san." She said with a smile and started to care the food over to the table. "You were gone all day did something happen?"
Naruto nodded. "Yay I ran into the Old man's Grandson and ended up training him for a bit then his actual teacher showed up and said I couldn't teach Konohamaru anything but he proved him wrong when I demonstrated the Leaf holding Technique." He explained as he sat down at the table.
Tsuki looked at him and blinked. "Sounds like you had a weird day." She said and started to set up their plates.
So funny thing, I never actually watched the episode this chapter is based on I only know what loosely happened. Originally I wasn't going to even write out the encouter with Konohamaru and jsut have a summury of what happened but while I was doing that it just felt wrong so I wrote this. Definately not my best chapter but I wanted to get something out I will probably come back and fix it up later if I feel like it. Will be working on the cnext chapter to my Harry Potter fic next so look forward to that.
