well before you start reading, know that it is short, but it was either this short chapter, or no chapter at all, take your pick. thats all i have to say, i dont own naruto.
The gate raised just in time, as the flames hit it, and created a crushing wind that nearly knocked Sarutobi over. After the attack was over Sarutobi lowered the shield. And looked around at what was left of the training field, there was no grass left on the ground, and where the forest used to be, there was only ashes and the occasional tree burning what was left of it. The ground was covered in scorch marks, and there was no water left on the ground, or in the small pond that used to be there.
Naruto smirked at the damage, that always was one of his favorite attacks. Sarutobi paled on the other hand, if Naruto could do an S-rank jutsu like that and not even be winded. "oh kami, what have I gotten myself into?" he thought worriedly.
After marveling at his handy work Naruto looked back at Sarutobi, then dashed forwards at a speed only a kage could follow, he tried for a crushing downward strike with his katana, but Sarutobi blocked it, although just barely. He then jumped up and did a flip over where the sandaime was standing when he landed he spun and went for a leg sweep.
Sarutobi barely managed to jump up and out of the way of the leg sweep, but he was now open for attack. Something both he and Naruto recognized, Sarutobi, in an attempt to return to the ground, stabbed his staff into the ground and pulled himself towards it, but it was to late as Naruto hit him with a powerful flying kick which sent him flying over 15 feet.
When Naruto landed he watched as Sarutobi got back up, "I don't know how much more of this I can take. But so far he's only proven he is a strong ninja, but not that he is Naruto." Sarutobi thought as he tried to think of a way it could be Naruto.
"well its rime to end this, and prove that I'm Naruto." Naruto thought as he slowly pulled out a kunai. But this kunai wasn't an ordinary one, it was tri-pronged, and had a seal drawn on the handle in black ink. He smirked as he threw the kunai, flashed threw a few handsigns, "Shuriken shadow clone jutsu!" he said, as one kunai turned into ten.
Sarutobi saw the kunai coming, then saw them multiply, so he blocked the one that came at him, but all the rest just landed harmlessly around him. He looked at Naruto and saw him smirking, he was confused but then he slowly looked down at the kunai, expecting to find explosive notes, gas tags, smoke screen tags, or something else of that nature. But what he saw was tri-pronged kunai, with the hirashin seal drawn on them. Now he might not have know the seals like Minato or Jiraiya, but he had spent enough time around Minato to recognize it.
He was about to jump away, but it was to late, Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash and appeared at the kunai behind Sarutobi, then quickly brought his sword up to his neck. Sarutobi froze in place. "Well, Naruto I'm convinced, and I'm impressed." Sarutobi said with a smile as Naruto lowered his sword, sheathing it with expert skill.
Enma transformed out of his staff mode, and back into a money and looked at the 2 with a grin, "That was some fight kid, I think you might even be better then your dear old dad." Enma said in a tone of remembrance.
"Thanks Enma, it means a lot, though I'm still not sure I'm as good as dad was." Naruto said humbly.
"Ah, strong and humble, that's good. Well I must be going, I need to take a long hot bath after that fight." said Enma as he puffed out of existence, and back to the summoning realm.
"Well Naruto I believe we should head back to the Hokage tow.." Sarutobi said, but then bent over and grunted in pain. Naruto jumped to help but he held up his hand, "I'm fine Naruto, just a little sore after that fight." Sarutobi said assuringly.
"Well you may be ok, but at least let me help a little, I may not be as good as Tsunade, but I know enough about medical jutsu to help." Naruto said, trying to get the old man to let him help him. Sarutobi nodded.
Naruto smiled, he then did a few handsigns and a rock platform rose out of the ground and Naruto motioned for him to lay down. Sarutobi did as requested and laid down.
Naruto's hands glowed a greenish blue color, that was the trademark of medical jutsu. He ran his hands over Sarutobi's chest and stomach, finding and repairing all the damage he could.
"Well its better then it was before I started, but it will probably be sore for a few days." Naruto said as he backed up.
Sarutobi nodded, "Thank you Naruto, it feels much better." he said thankfully, "So, now that I know your story is true, what are we going to do?" he asked, not exactly sure what was to be done now.
"I'm open for suggestions." Naruto said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Sarutobi sighed, "Well theres the obvious option of telling everyone, but really that's out of the question as the council will think the Kyuubi has taken over. There's option two, in which we can make it look like Naruto disappeared, and you're a new ninja-for-hire in the village. But that poses problems as ninja-for-hire cant go on any mission higher then A-rank, due the security threat to that poses to the village. So option three is that you go on living your life as Naruto, and I can put in a spevial division of ANBU, called ANBU Black Ops, although that is what anyone outside of ANBU thinks that's what the organization is called, there are actually two division…"Sarutobi said, but was stopped what Naruto raised his hand.
"I know that there are two divisions in the ANBU marine corps, the regular ANBU, and the much greater skilled black ops division. Which handles most high S-rank, and all of the SS-rank missions, that is those that the Hokage doesn't take himself." Naruto finished.
"Ah, then I see your already familiar with the organization." Sarutobi said, and received a nod in return. "Ok, well then I could put you in the black ops division, and, as you probably know, those in that division report directly to the Hokage, so I could keep your identity a secret, and if that spar we just had is any comparison, you could take S-rank, and possibly low SS-rank missions on your own, therefore, you will only need to work with a squad rarely, if ever," Sarutobi said as he finished explaining his plan to Naruto.
"Hmm, that really does seem like the only course of action." Naruto said as he thought about it. "Well, sign me up old man!" Naruto said enthusiastically.
"Alright Naruto, but it will take about a week to have your uniform made, and I need to know what mask you want, and I will see if it is available." Sarutobi said, in a very business like manner.
"Oh, that's not necessary, I already have an ANBU uniform and mask." Naruto replied.
"Oh, ok then, well it will take me a few days to get all the paperwork in order, so come by my office in three days at about noon." Sarutobi said, Naruto just nodded. "Well, you probably need to get to your paper work, and I need to go train, so see ya." Naruto said as he tossed a wave a Sarutobi before disappearing in a swirl of blue fire.
"just like his dad, always with the flashy exit." Sarutobi thought with a reminiscent smile. But it soon turned to a frown when he realized he had to back to his paperwork. So with a sigh he shun shined back to his office and resumed his paper work.
