Four days after official mandate
Naruto sighed as he flung himself onto his new bed with a tired sigh, not even needing to look at his clock to know it was nearly morning. He had been up almost all the night placing seals on his four new recruits. Thinking of the seals, or more specifically the scrolls he had learned them led to a groan as he remembered the fourth scroll that he had hidden in a lockbox in a semi-sealed bunker underneath the vacated apartment block that he was now living in at the behest of the Hokage. And thoughts of the scroll lead to remembrance of that night four days ago.
~~~Flashback~~~
"You have got to be joking!" Naruto yelled as he practically leaped out of his chair
"On the contrary Naruto, I am very serious about this." The Hokage said in a placating tone.
For several moments Naruto simply stood there breathing heavily, staring at Sarutobi before finally sighing and flopping back into his chair like a puppet with it's strings cut. The Hokage reached to his right and picked up the small scroll that he had been working on when Naruto came in.
"This is an official document that authorizes the recipient with the allowance to do anything, to anyone, anywhere, at any time, for the sake of Konoha's protection from forces both internal and external." He gently tossed the scroll to Naruto who fumbled slightly to catch it "You have the right to recruit anyone to your cause by any means necessary. I trust that your judgement of said recruits will ensure that none of the recruits exposes you or your organization. In the case of said exposure Konoha will deny having anything and everything to do with you or your organization and will publicly denounce you and your compatriots as rogues."
The Hokage paused to open a drawer in his desk and removed a tied bundle of three scrolls which he tossed to Naruto who was barely able to catch them.
"Those scrolls detail three techniques that you will need in order to mark and induct members into Jiyuueigyou. The first is a first grade long range assassination seal known as Shin Gekimetsu. The second details how to embed triggers into seals, specifically the Shin Gekimetsu seal. The third details the procedure that the ANBU use to implant seals into a tattoo along with several seals that can be used in said procedure and various styles of tattoos that can be used."
Naruto stared at the scrolls for a few minutes before frowning as his mind suddenly seemed to grasp everything that it was told. He muttered to himself for a few more moments before looking up at the Hokage.
"Supplies…money?"
"It will be up to you to find a source. The ways in which I can be seen to be helping you are very limited in the event of your exposure."
Naruto frowned for several moments before nodding.
"I'll need a list of retired Shinobi…am I allowed to recruit out of ANBU?"
Sarutobi leaned back as he thought for a moment before shaking his head resolutely
"No…ANBU is more useful as public reassurance of power...and there is a list of retired shinobi, from Genin to Chunin, in the Hokage library two racks over from the scroll of forbidden seals. It's in a blue scroll with a crane Sigel engraved on edges. You'll need this key to get in. There is no list of Retired Jonin."
Naruto idly caught the key as he reviewed his options before frowning.
"Housing and a base?"
The Hokage seemed surprised for a moment before he schooled his features and mulled it over. After a few minutes of silence he sat up and nodded to himself.
"There is an empty apartment block in the eastern district. Beneath it is a large amount of underground bunkers from the third war. They were last used by Orochimaru so you might need to…decontaminate the area and they are the main reason that the apartments have remained empty. You are to move into the apartment block immediately under the pretence that your landlord kicked you out." the Hokage smirked slightly "upon hearing the news of such I, the Hokage, decided to gift you with the keys to an apartment complex in one of the abandoned sectors of Konoha. That is story both of us will feed people if asked."
The Hokage quickly pulled out a small scrap of paper from one of his desk drawers and wrote a note upon it.
"Give this to one of the ANBU when you leave and they will obtain the keys and the deed and get them to you. And I think that should be all that will need to be taken care of."
Naruto stood up to take the note which he stuffed into his pocket then snapped off a very haphazard salute.
"I'll try to do you proud Hokage-sama"
"Make sure that you do as otherwise it'll be your head on the chopping block not mi-"
~~~End Flashback~~~
Naruto was suddenly startled from his dozing remembrance by the blaring sound of his alarm clock. A quick smack turned it off but he found that he just couldn't relax anymore. Sighing at the injustice of his life he got up and stretched with a heavy wince before walking towards his kitchen, having not bothered to get changed from his night studies. As he gathered himself breakfast he idly contemplated the work he had been doing in the past few days and winced as he realized that he was probably moving much to fast.
But then he sighed as he remembered that things needed to be set up quickly. Already he had recruited four people aside from Sakura, civilian yes but people who he knew were decently trustworthy and very loyal to Konoha. With said recruits he had held off on placing the Shin Gekimetsu seal and trigger combination until last night so he could fully understand the procedure of placing them. Not to mention learning how to make tattoo's out of chakra–reliant ink so that said tattoo would only appear when someone that was keyed into the tattoo put chakra into the miniature seal network within the tattoo.
Naruto let of a slight groan as he munched on his breakfast. Two of the recruits had solved his supplies problem as far as food and general goods went, both being wholesalers that now supplied him with very minimum charges. Another was a simple man who simply had very good connections to many influential people in several industrial and economic companies which would send along the names of said people who could easily be convinced to lose shipments of various metals, alloys, pharmaceuticals, and other such goods that his first two recruits couldn't give. And the last recruit was a man who was extraordinarily lucky when it came to investments and owned various businesses which he could siphon amounts of money from into various dummy accounts for use by the Jiyuueigyou.
Naruto finished his breakfast and carefully set his dishes his sink and quickly rinsed them while washing his hands. Walking towards his door his quickly wiped off his hands on is pants and left his apartment.
A new day had come and soon, Jiyuueigyou would rise...now all Naruto needed was to remember the name of that blasted blacksmith that he wanted to recruit. The one with that daughter that he swore had a pointy-thing fetish.
