Author's note~~~~~~~
Yeah….. please review. Oh, and I'm giving away story ideas if you want them. P.m. me if you do. And Naruto is going to be a super god powerful person by the end like any good Naruto fanfiction.
Chapter two: Sakura and the Summit~~~
"I guess that's how you really are, making up excuses for your incompetence. You never cared about the team did you?" Sakura questioned, her voice quiet yet venomous at the same time. After hearing that, all the others with them were about to shout at .Naruto was infuriated! How dare she accuse him of such a thing when he cared more than anyone else! He was about to shout at Sakura and make her see just how wrong she was but their would-be argument was stopped before it started by an ANBU agent with a bear mask.
"Lord Hokage, I am sorry to interrupt but there is an important message for you. We have left it in the missions report center that you had master Yamato recreate." The ANBU agent quietly said.
"Thank you. I will go now, back to your post and keep up the splendid job you've been doing. Don't think I haven't noticed you volunteering to take injured comrades' guard duty." Naruto said, his emotions taking a quick change, his voice becoming appraising and light.
His friends were still trying to get over the shock, through out the whole ordeal, Naruto had not even once blown up at them or Sakura.
"Oh, thank you sir but it was my duty as a ninja of the leaf to help my comrades. Thank you once again!" the ANBU said, he seemed to have lightened up, he had not been expecting a compliment but it felt nice to know that someone high up knew he was doing good.
Once again, his friends were shocked, they knew that Naruto had a way of bringing a smile to peoples' faces but for even an ANBU to go out of character was rare.
"I'm sorry, but I must cut this short. As Hokage it's my duty to protect this whole village not just some people. Remember that Sakura. I know I said I would not become Hokage unless I saved Sasuke first but I had no choice but to become Hokage or else a mad man by the name of Danzo would have taken over." Naruto said sagely while leaving to the missions report center.
"Was that really Naruto?" asked a bewildered Ino.
None of them noticed a sobbing Sakura quickly depart after Naruto left.
"Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing. The last time we saw him, he was still the same knuckle-head and now he's the strongest ninja in the village. He's the one who defeated Pein! The fucking ninja our whole village could hardly scratch!" Kiba shouted. He was still shocked from everything. The magnitude of the day had come to all of them.
"YOSH! LORD HOKAGE HAS SHOWN HIS FLAMES OF YOUTH BY REKINDLING THE FIRE OF KONOHA! HOW GREAT IS THAT! I WILL RUN A HUNDRED LAPS AROUND KONOHA TO CELEBRATE HIS FLAMES OF YOUTH!" Lee shouted, the whole group had just felt their eardrums burst, well other than Tenten and Neji who had been used to him.
"So troublesome." Shikamaru murmured. He himself had not been expecting any of it, Naruto really was the most unpredictable ninja ever.
"It's probably because he feels that he has to grow up quick to take care of the village until Tsunade recovers. At least that's my guess, not even I can predict what Naruto really thinks." Shikamaru stated.
At the same time, in the missions report center was Naruto, who was actually brainstorming while his clones were doing his paperwork. He figured that trick out after 5 minutes into his work. It all came with a flashback of his grandfather figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi, doing paperwork. He was thinking deeply….
'Sasuke has been doing bad things, Madara Uchiha's still alive, The Raikage's infuriated, and the village needs to be run, Raikage's also holding a summit at . Damn, I have a lot of things to do, I also need to learn the flying thunder god jutsu and to control the Kyuubi's chakra. I guess I better get started, I'll have to talk to Yamato-sensei about continuing on leading the reconstruction and to Kakashi-sensei about the summit. Lets get started.'
"shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto exclaimed summoning 10 super-charged shadow clones, his assistant, Shizune, was already used to the loud noises in the office. "Alright guys, split into five groups, summon as many clones as possible. Two groups work on the thunder god jutsu while one works on construction with Yamato and one constantly gathers sage chakra. The last group has to watch grandma, remember to give her coma state a BIIIG hug for me and keep on talking to her." Naruto commanded discretely. The clones scattered to do their jobs, all moving as quick as any Kage level nin would.
Naruto himself went into careful consideration on who should go with him. 'Kakashi is needed here to show other villages that we always have s-ranks at home base. Hmmm, maybe big sister-Shizune and…. Lee. Yeah, that'll work. Big-sis is a high level medic ninja and Lee is our second greatest taijutsu expert. Now onto something most important, Danzo's root base. What did it say in grandpa Sarutobi's diary? "Root's base is like it's namesake, they're under ground and suck the water from above. Ah-ha, the sewage system might be able to lead us there, I should be able to find any and all seals. I've never been so thankful of Grandpa Jiraiya's sealing lessons!'
"Big-sis! I need you in the office right now, we have to write down some quick information!" Naruto shouted, soon the door opened and in came a moderately young black-haired woman holding a…pig?
"Yes?" Shizune said inquisitively.
"I need you, to send a messenger bird for me to Lee and write in "Major importance". I also need you to stay here after, I'll fill you in once he gets here. Oh, and get Kakashi Sensei and Shikaku Nara." Naruto commanded, his voice holding a serious tone.
"Alright, now keep on working hard with those shadow clones, your paperwork is almost fully completed. I'm leaving tonton here, okay?" Shizune said shaily, she was still shaken up from dieing and being resurrected like most of Konoha. Naruto got up and gave her a hug.
"Thanks big-sis." He whispered into her shoulder, though most people believe that Naruto calls any older girl his big sister, he only called Shizune that because they hung out a lot like a family.
"Anything for my sweet little brother." She said back, her voice holding a tone of sisterly love and care. She then left to do what she was asked to, tonton started stared at Naruto blankly after Shizune left which caused Naruto to stare back. After a minute or so, Lee and Shizune entered the office.
"Good, you're here. The Raikage's holding a summit for the five Kages. I'm allowed to bring two guards, would you like to be them?" Naruto asked, his hands folded together.
"Alright!" both Shinobi said confidently.
"Good, we are also allowing the Kumo team to journey with us since they already got the information they needed. That's all. Wait, yeah, you also have to bring cold weather clothes and uniforms because Iron country is supposed to be really cold. Shizune, debrief the village of this information of me leaving. I will not be doing a speech until after
the summit because of it's urgency. Meet me at the gates at 5:00 p.m." with that said, both shinobi in the room left leaving Naruto alone with just his clones.
"Naruto, Kakashi and Shikaku are here." Informed Shizune.
"Send them in." He replied. Both male ninja waiting outside the office were then ushered in.
"I've called you both here to say that you'll be running the village while I'm gone to a super important five Kages meeting at Iron country." Both men were surprised, they knew that those meetings were extremely rare, Shikaku was about to speak up but Kakashi interrupted him because he felt that Naruto had more to say.
"There is only five things you need to know to temporarily do this job. 1)watch out for Danzo, even though he's imprisoned I'm pretty sure he still has root agents since Sai is one with a seal on his tongue to prevent him from talking. 2) ALWAYS have a trusted guard with grandma, if she is injured in anyway when I get back, there will be hell to pay! 3) reconstructing the village is also top priority, build the most needed things first. 4) keep our missions going strong since we have to show them that the god-like Pein was not enough to diminish us. 5)just keep this village safe." Naruto continued, his voice full of seriousness. Kakashi knew Naruto became Hokage but he did not know that Naruto became serious as well, he always thought that Naruto would remain innocent and immature but it seems that Naruto had matured without him even knowing it….
"I will be leaving at 5:00 p.m. and I will be by the front gates with the Kumo team and my two guards. That's in an hour so better be prepared." Naruto said as he exited the office. The first place he headed towards was the training ground which had three groups of clones. A group of around thirty clones were just sitting there, red eye pigments and yellow auras coming off their forms. While a group of sixty were all looking at the instructions of the yellow flash technique his dad had put into a sealing spot on his own Kyuubi seal. The clones them selves had split into smaller sections of ten and they all had one part of the instruction scroll.
"Alright guys, lets dispel two at a time in five minute intervals. We have to go with the most successful ones last. Thanks, bye." Naruto then darted off towards the Library, landing there in the fastest of times. It was relatively well rebuilt since only a quarter of it had collapsed from Pein's onslaught. He had caught them right when they were about to leave. Their pupils reached him when they searched the general vicinity like all good ninja.
"Hey, are you guys satisfied? We are departing soon. Are you okay? You seem like you have gotten into a fight with a boar or something?" Naruto questioned light heartedly, trying to lessen the foreign ninja's nervousness around him.
"No offense Lord Hokage, but a ninja from your village was extremely uncooperative and she than started to cry." Samui said, her voice cold and detached which he had gotten used to.
"Alright than, it's good enough that you got your needed information. We will be leaving soon and don't forget to inform your Kage, once we cross paths, of what I have said. Your sensei could very well be alive." Naruto said, he started gaining the memories of his clones. They had not come successful at all.
"Of course lord Hokage." They all said uncomfortably, they were probably used to giving respect to only the Raikage and were startled by his transformation with red eye pigments appearing and his pupil becoming frog like. He quickly signaled to them that his state was nothing to worry about.
They all then started walking through the still ruined streets of Konoha, every single human being on the streets were bowing to lord Hokage and shouting praises.
Naruto had no need to take them to his apartment so he could get his stuff because he always had pre-planned storage seals with him.
He unsealed one crucial item from the big scroll he always carries around, he unsealed the classic Hokage robes. Once he did, he suddenly felt excited, he had dreamt of wearing this since he was old enough to comprehend Grandpa Sarutobi's job. He quickly put on the robes, everyone watching him quickly figured out what he was doing and they all started smiling proudly, as if they were the reason he got so far.
All of a sudden, a brown-haired youth jumped in front of the Hokage. The Kumo team stood cautious but the Kage just raised his hand in a nonchalant manner saying that it was nothing to worry of. Naruto knew who it was the moment he sensed the Chakra, he was in sage mode after all.
"Hey Konohamaru, I guess you've heard of my recent rise?" Naruto stated in a questioning way, even though he already knew the answer.
"BOSS! YOU DID IT! It's so cool!" Konohamaru stated, his young eyes lighting up, his hero had become Hokage. Konohamaru then started walking with the rest of them.
"Yeah, but it's only until my grandmother heals. Oh yeah! I heard you used the rasengan against Pein." Naruto said, his voice filling with pride.
"Yeah, but it took all my chakra with the shadow clone and I still haven't completed it though, I cant believe it took you only a month! Just you wait though boss!" Konohamaru said, his voice filled with an awe only a little brother would have for their big brother.
The Kumo team had kept silent, they could not believe that a child was able to talk to the god of a ninja they had come to know as the sixth Hokage.
They all soon made it to the gates, it seemed that Shizune and Rock lee were already there. The rest of the village was behind Naruto, they all said things like "keep him healthy lady Shizune." Or "represent the will of fire the way only you can lord Hokage!".
The Gates soon opened, showing the greenery that the land of fire was known for. The group of six soon left after Naruto said good-bye to everyone.
While at four other villages, the same thing was happening except with an old man, a red headed ex-container, a beautiful red-headed female, and a hot-blooded dark-skinned, muscular man. All heading towards one place… the Iron country.
