Hey guys Dar1us here.

Just a short chapter to get me back in the swing of things. I decided to step back and figure out where I plan on taking this story. As a by product I've managed to plan quite a bit ahead and so will be hopefully be updating regularly, Probably every two weeks or so.

Enjoy the Chapter and don't forget to R&R

"Sensei I have a favour to ask…"

Naruto thought about what he really wanted and had decided the only way too truly get where he wanted was to pay for it himself as the Budget he lived on wouldn't cover things.

"Yes Naruto what is it?"

Iruka was puzzled by Naruto's stillness and realised that the boy had been mulling this over for a while. Actually now that he thought about it, it was probably only one or two days but would work out to be a lot more with three heads all mulling it over.

"Can you help me get a part time job, Please?"

Iruka was incredulous, what would this young boy need a part time job for. Iruka voiced his Question.

Once again Naruto stopped and thought about how to explain it. Once he was satisfied he spoke up, covering up the sound of clones dispelling themselves.

"Well, Iruka sensei we've been thinking about how to be a better ninja and figured out that to do that we have to work at getting balanced. Being balanced means not only training my body but also learning stuff. Going to class will help but we also wanna work at home. To do that we need books, scrolls, ninja stuff and much more. All that stuff costs money I don't have. I don't want to ask Jii-sama too much, so we decided we need a part time job."

Iruka was perplexed, the boy in front of him kept saying we.

"All right Naruto I'll see what I can do but it will take some time to organise."

Iruka's words took a while to sink into the apprehensive little mind of Naruto, but once it got through there was a definite glow of pure happiness in the boy's eyes.

"Thank you Iruka-sensei you are the bestest sensei anyone could ever want!"

Naruto quietened down suddenly

"Iruka-sensei please don tell anyone about this not even Jii-sama. Only you and Kakashi-sensei know about this."

Iruka looked at the boy softly and solemnly promised

"I won't tell anyone who doesn't know, I promise."

Suddenly Iruka got it when Naruto said we he meant Naruto was including the clones.

"Okay Naruto, Bring out all your clones. Now"

One clone sheepishly poked his head round the corner

"It's just me left. The others disappeared just before he explained. I'm still around because I am Busy studying the first chapter in the academy book."

With that said the clone smiled sheepishly and dismissed himself dropping the only book Naruto had.

The original Naruto was a little dazed,

"Man that guy was studying hard. Why do they make the Ninja manual so hard to learn from?"

Iruka laughed at that. It had always been a problem the kids complained about, but until someone wrote a better version, it was what they had.

"Alright Naruto, I have to go. I will see you at class tomorrow, we'll talk more then. And you're stuck with that Academy book until someone writes a better copy."

With that said Iruka left a very happy boy.

Naruto quickly ate cleaned up and got ready for bed. He didn't know it but he had a big day ahead of him.

As Iruka walked home, he was lost in thought, wondering about the strangeness of the evening and the unbelievable child ha had spent the evening with. He was brought out of his thoughts by a kind old laugh.

"Ha ha ha, I see you have found out about Konoha's newest marvel."

Iruka looked up and found himself looking at the man Naruto called Jii-sama. Iruka wondered how this old man had gotten so close without him noticing, even with his Ninja senses. Then again he was talking to the Sandaime, The third Hokage.

He was about to tell the sandaime but then remembered his promise to Naruto…

"It's alright Iruka; I know Naruto can do Kage-Bunshin. Kakashi told me and I have done some spying of my own. Having a crystal that can look in on a meeting between my favourite teacher and favourite Academy student is rather useful. Why don't we go inside? These old bones don't like it out in the cold."

They entered Iruka's house, the sandaime looked over his shoulder straight at the shadowy figure that had be listening in just before the door closed, effectively ending the spying that the man in the shadows had been doing. The man decided to report what he had learned and returned to ROOT headquarters.

Inside

Iruka and the Sandaime sat down and the sandaime continued his discussion.

"I Understand Naruto would like to get a part time Job. I also know of an opening at an establishment that will greatly help him in the long run…"

Root Headquarters

The man bowed before his leader

"Danzo-samma I come with a report regarding Uzumaki Naruto. It can be confirmed that he can use Kage-Bunshin and is already using it to a great extent. He uses it not only for Study but also in considering word choice and life choices. As of now Kakashi, Iruka and the Sandaime himself know and are all aiding Uzumaki. The Sandaime noticed my presence but did nothing but stop the conversation till they were away from me"

Danzo looked at his subordinate and smiled

"Very good, the Uzumaki kid is shaping up to be a very powerful tool indeed, how is the boy's mind set?"

The subordinate looked up, taken aback at the strange question and wondering why he was not punished for being seen, Roots were meant to be hidden beneath the tree not sticking out.

"Um… Uzumaki seems to have decided to pursue Balance between both his Stamina and Spiritual energy, and is currently in good spirits Danzo-samma"

Danzo nodded to the man, who promptly disappeared. Danzo turned and walked back to his office. Things were getting very interesting; Naruto had learned an extremely useful technique and was using it correctly. However he was also being helped by one of Konoha's strongest Ninja, Hatake Kakashi and the Sandaime himself. Things were very interesting indeed. Maybe his plans needed to be rethought.

Okay guys, hope you enjoyed it. Please read and review.

I know it was short but from now on they will be longer I promise.

Teams are organised, plot is in place and hopefully I'll be able to update again in two weeks or so.

I have also decided that Naruto has been speaking rather too eloquently for such a young kid and have therefore decided to make his speech more Childish that will change as he learns more, so yes I did use the word Bestest.

I will be working on this Story and also "The Price you Pay" for the next while so look foreword to it.

Thanks again for Reading and Reviewing.
