Chapter 5
Naruto Uzimaki stood staring out the window of the Hokage's office, and as he stood before Tsunade the fifth Hokage, and his perverted teacher Jiriaya, Naruto had the most dumbfounded look on his face he had ever shown.
Jiriaya was about to say something but decided against it causing the room to remain a deadly quiet, as Naruto, Tsunade and Jiriaya stand inside the Hokage's office none of them speaking Naruto finally yells in a panicked voice "You've got to be kidding me It's a Joke right?!"
Tsunade just sighs and then says "I'm sorry Naruto but what the counsel says goes, and there's nothing you or I can do about it"
Naruto's head slumps and he finally says "How long till I need to make decision?"
"About a week…but the council will announce it after your test this afternoon" Jiriaya said with his attempt at acting cool voice.
"Alright if anything I just hope I can get used to the idea" Naruto had said in a tone that says I can live with it just drop the subject…but Jiriaya had other ideas.
"Soooooo…..-" Jiriaya said in extremely perverted tone while pushing his pointer fingers together "-This could make some great research material…-"
"Oh please Pervy Sage-" Naruto said while bending his pointer and middle fingers up and down emphasizing the word 'pervy sage' "-you're just going to…jerk off like you always do", and with those words Jiriaya's face went tomato red and he began to stutter, Tsunade just giggled as Naruto keeps shaking his head up and down while smirking, quickly Jiriaya attempted to jump out the closed window causing him to splat against it like a bug.
Naruto couldn't help but laugh at his so called masters antics, Tsunade noticed this and smiled 'Hmmm good to see the old Naruto is still there…and maybe, just maybe there's still hope for those two' Tsunade thought with a smile still on her face.
When all the laughing finally died down Jiriaya slowly began to slide down the window in a very comical way due to the fact he effectively knocked himself out, Tsunade smiled as she turned to Naruto and said in happy tone "Well Naruto go ahead and enjoy the rest of the morning, I'll see you in the training field" Naruto just gave off a small smile and even though it was small it was a start.
As Naruto began to leave the office he heard Tsunade say "Ohhh and Naruto don't forget that this decision will affect the rest of your life so make sure you pick the right one for you" and with those words Naruto's head slumped.

As the pink haired konochi walked into the Hokage's building she noticed Shizune sitting at her desk with piles and piles of paper work, as Sakura walked up Shizune noticed her and waved while smiling, Sakura retuned the greeting as she stopped in front of Shizune's desk "Excuse me has Naruto been here yet?" she asked with a slight smile.
"Yes in fact I'm right behind you" said a firm voice from behind her.
The pink haired women practically jumped out of her shoes before turning around to be met with the face of one Uzimaki Naruto.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you-" he paused as he looked past her to Shizune to say "-see you later Shizune" she happily smiled and began to pick up paper work to take to her master aka the most likely now drunk Hokage.
'Wow he snuck up on me and I didn't even notice' before the pink haired women could think about her blond haired companion anymore he was waving his hand in front of her saying something like "hey Sakura you there?" she quickly snapped out of her daze and said "Sorry I got lost in thought".
Naruto just sighed as he scratched the back of his head "listen about last night and well…before that, I just want to say I'm sorry and I was over reacting" he said with his eyes half open and a sad smile gracing his lips, "And to make it up to you how bout we go out to eat?" he then asked with slight anticipation.
"Uhhh ok" Sakura said dumbly not really understanding his sudden change of heart.

As the two young adult ninja walked through the village they passed many restraints some serving very strange food that Naruto had never heard of but he continued on his quest to find a good breakfast restraint for himself but mostly a place that the women he was dragging behind him would enjoy.
While Sakura was dragged through the village she saw Naruto's favorite ramen shop come into view and as she expected him to stop he just passed by it, this shocked and surprised Sakura to no end, there was no way she was going to drop this one, SHE. HAD. TO. KNOW. "Um Naruto aren't you going to the Ramen bar like you always do?" she asked with clearly shock in her voice.
"Nope" was his whole response to her.
"Oh ok…so then where are we going?" she asked with curiosity evident in her voice.
Naruto smirked and smiled slightly as he said "Don't know"
This left Sakura dumfounded once more, here she was being dragged through town and the man that was dragging her has no idea where he wants to eat "ok" was her tiny and lame response.
After being dragged through half the city the two arrived in front of a traditional Japanese restaurant known as Heero's Sakura raised an eyebrow as she followed Naruto inside 'Heero's I've heard of this before but I heard it was ungodly expensive' she thought as she walked inside, when she entered through the solid glass doors she was shocked beyond anything ever before, inside there was a fountain along with glass birds, the tables were made with jade and the walls were decorated with dark black and red carpets, the chairs matched the walls and carpet as well.
Sakura had become so engrossed with her surroundings she didn't even realize that Naruto and herself had already been seated the next thing she knew she heard Naruto's voice.
"Umm Sakura your spacing out again" after hearing this she quickly shook her head until saying "I'm sorry Naruto but…I'm thankful that you'd bring me here but it's just…to expensive and I'm not dressed for the occasion and-" but she was quickly cut off "Listen Sakura don't worry about the price it's my treat and also don't worry about how you're dressed because I think you look well-" he paused as he blushed and took a small breath "-beautiful so let's eat ok?" he said the first part in a small scared voice and when Sakura heard this her hear fluttered and all she could do is smile back at him.

Breakfast had gone smoothly for the two shinobi and to Sakura's surprise Naruto began to engage in conversation with her about his training trip, people he meet and he even told her about some of the Jutsus he learned everything was great until Sakura saw the bill and she nearly fainted, but when Naruto pulled out a thousand yen bill that easily covered the breakfast bill and when the waitress was about to bring him change he had told her to keep the extra, to say the lest Sakura was astounded but when she glanced in Naruto's wallet she felt her heart stop, he had over a couple dozen hundred thousand yen bills, so to say the least Naruto was rich.
Now the two are making their way to the training grounds and the silence is killing her "So Naruto how did you make so much money?" she asked with her curiosity getting the best of her.
"Jiriaya and I would hunt down rouge ninja criminals and collect the bounty, I had so much money I began to give it to the toad's bank" he answered with somewhat enthusiasm.
"Toad's bank?" Sakura asked quietly.
"Ohh yeah sorry for being vague…you know about the toads I summon?"
Sakura placed her right hand on her chin and closed her eyes for a minute, as she did this Naruto took the opportunity to glance at her 'Wow she's gotten cute over the years…and to think I was such an ass a few days ago…well I'm not making that mistake again' Naruto was quickly broken from his thoughts as Sakura began to speak. "Yeah you mean the little frogs?" she answered in a kind voice even though she hated the little things to no end.
'Man she's got a really got a great voice too..sigh…SHIT I'm daydreaming again' Naruto quickly snapped himself out of his thoughts to find a slightly upset Sakura 'fuck' was all Naruto thought.
"Sorry" Naruto said while scratching the back of his head "anyway let's just put it this way the frogs I summon have a place they store their masters money when necessary" Naruto spoke trying to avoid being hit from staring at her for so long…luckily for him Sakura was forgiving…today.
"Alright well we should keep going we don't want to be late do we?" she said in a school girl tone that made Naruto shudder and pale leaving nothing but a blush across his face, 'Good just the reaction I was looking for' Sakura had thought as a smile graced her lovely lips 'I'm just surprised he didn't notice me staring at him'

As Naruto and Sakura arrived at the training grounds the first thing they noticed was the place was packed with ninjas and civilians alike and all of them were waiting for Naruto to show for his own personal rank test, the small training grounds had a circle center dirt ring along with temporary steel bleachers set up for the crowd, on the side there was a small seating area for the Hokage and other important people as well as the counsel or elders as they were referred as.
As the young blond man begins to walk forward he notices that the pink haired woman has stopped in her tracks behind him, he slowly turns around and with a small smile says "don't worry Sakura-chan I'll definitely win…believe it" and with that he walks towards the center plain to begin his test.
Sakura was dumbfounded not only had Naruto actually smiled and said his favorite catch phrase at her he had also called her Sakura-chan, and with that her heart fluttered in her chest for the second time today and she felt the happiest she had been in years, with a blush and a smile she walked over to sit by her master in the seats.
Meanwhile Naruto walked past the crowd that was eagerly waiting for him to arrive, and as he past the people he heard things like "he looks just like the fourth" and "I've heard about him they say this kids speed is insane just like the fourth" he also heard "Ohh he's so cute I hope he's single" when Naruto heard this one he stopped In his tracks and turned his head at the young women and on the sight she fainted like the fan girl she was, 'Great fan girls' was all he thought as he rolled his eyes and continued on his way.
After a few more minutes of avoiding random people he ran into Kakashi but before they could engage in conversation Naruto had to be on his way but of course Kakashi understood he always did, Naruto also ran into some additional fan girls but soon he found himself standing in front of the elders as well as Tsunade and two or three other people that he couldn't quite place.
"Well Naruto the time has come…are you ready?" Tsunade asked with a smile on her face.
The blond just bowed and answered "Tsunade-sama I'm ready to begin immediately" he spoke in a respectful tone before the mostly well known people sitting around the Hokage.
"Very well" was all she said, and with that she stood up and yelled at the top of her lungs "AHHMM!" everyone around her went quiet "Alright everyone…as some of you know this boy…no young man standing before me looks very identical to Minato Namikaze" she paused as everyone began gazing at him inspecting him like he was the newest item on the market or a shinny object for that matter, Tsunade smiled along with Naruto as she said "The reason for this is he is in fact the son of the fourth Hokage!!" and with those words everyone except for Naruto, Tsunade and Jiriaya gasped.
Sakura stood several feet back behind her teacher as she heard this and to say the least she was shocked 'Naruto's the fourths son!! And I've known him for years and I didn't even notice…what kind of a friend am I' as she thought this for some odd reason she suddenly began to feel horrible.
Kakashi was slightly shocked but in the end it all added up, the goofy attitude, the way he would risk his life for others he barely knew and his boundless kindness for his friends, yep Kakashi was happy and with that he dived back into his book.
Tsunade looked around and found everyone gossiping about how they knew all along he was the Hokage's son, there were a few that felt horrible for the way they treated him when he was younger and there were others who were proud to call him a comrade or friend for that matter, but it didn't really matter because now it was Naruto's time to shine to his friends, fellow ninja's and the villagers.
"Well Now that you all know the truth about Naruto it's time we move on to the fight!!" she yelled once again into the crowd, and with that Naruto made his way to one side of the large dirt ring, as he walked his black and orange cape like robe swayed in the wind and as all watched him it was sure that this was the fourths son.
"Naruto your first opponent of three is Rock Lee!!" Tsunade shouted once again shouted.
Naruto was already standing in the center stage when he heard her yell that 'Jezzz why did that have to rhyme' was all he thought as the bowl cut bushy brow arrived before him at amazing speed.
Everyone once again gasped at the green spandex dawning ninja, for that matter everyone was shocked about his speed and those who looked even closer nearly died from horror after viewing his eyebrows due to their HUGE size, I mean those things were practically alive and moving across his forehead, Naruto was most likely the only one unfazed by his incredible speed…or his eyebrows for that matter.
"No Jutsus are allowed…Begin when ready" was all the examination ninja said.
Naruto just smiled as he looked over at his good friend Lee but what surprised everyone is the fact Naruto didn't get into a defensive stance he just stood there letting his robe like cape dangle as he said "You're still wearing green I see don't you ever change"
"You're still wearing orange my friend" Lee countered loudly and youthfully.
"Touché" was all Naruto responded with as he stood before Lee.
After several seconds he decided to speak again "What about your leg weights?" he asked curiously.
"I took them off before I arrived to make sure I am a worthy opponent!" Lee answered even more 'youthfully' than before.
"Then I recommend you quit I don't want to hurt you" Naruto said emotionlessly.
"We shall see about that" was all Lee said as he began running at Naruto, in an instant Lee blurred and appeared behind Naruto about to deliver a bone shattering punch to the back of the blonds' neck.
Sakura gasped in horror when she realized that the punch would shatter his spine if the blow connected to where it was heading, and what shocked her the most was that Naruto was making no attempts to dodge or block from what she could tell, she was prepared to scream out his name even though it would make no difference but before she could do or say anything in the blink of an eye Naruto disappeared and reappeared behind Lee effectively knocking him out in a single blow.
Everyone was dumbfounded, ninja's went wide eyed everywhere, Tsunade dropped her hidden sake bottle she was drinking, Kakashi dropped his Icha Icha book, Neji's eyes dilated, Choji choked on his pork, Shikamaru fell over, Jiriaya just smiled and Lee…well Lee had his knees up to his head effectively causing his butt to stick up in the air and as for everyone else their eyes were wide beyond belief and the new fact became dominant among everyone, Naruto was the new yellow flash.
