Three years have passed since that fateful day. The feelings that the villagers generate towards Naruto have not changed even in the slightest. Even more so, Naruto was kicked out of the orphanage that he lived in. That very night, a violent storm had erupted, and, with nowhere to go, Naruto had to sleep in an alley. The storm began to take its toll on Naruto. But before he faded from consciousness, he noticed an old man coming towards him, with a faint smell of tobacco.
When Naruto awoke, he noticed that he wasn't in the alley anymore. "Where am I?" he asked himself. "You are in my office, Naruto," said a voice. Naruto turned to where the voice was coming from to see an old man unfamiliar to him, wearing red and white robes, and has a tobacco pipe in his mouth. This man had gray hair with a gray goatee. He is signing papers. "You've been asleep for about a week now?"
"Who are you?" asked Naruto. "Me? I'm Sarutobi. But you can call me whatever you like."
"OK, Old Man," said Naruto, "Were you the one that I saw in the alley?"
"Yes, I was," answered Sarutobi, "I was told that you were kicked out of the orphanage, so I came to give you a new home." "Why would you do that?" asked Naruto. Never had anyone been so nice to him before. "Because you are a good kid. People should not hate someone who have done nothing wrong, Naruto Uzumaki," replied Sarutobi. "Well, that's very ni . . . wait, how'd you know who I was? I never said my name to you," said Naruto.
But before Sarutobi could say anything, a man came into the room. He wore black pants, a gray vest, a katana on his back, forearm guards, and a mask that looked like a dog. Above said mask, this man's hair was shown. It was silvery-white and slanted to the left. On his left shoulder was a tattoo. "Lord Hokage, Lady Hinata has been safely recovered and Lord Hiashi is ready to explain the situation," said the man. "Thank you, Kakashi," replied Sarutobi. After that, he left. "Naruto, I have a matter that needs my attention. I can't take you to your new home just yet. You'll have to accompany me until then," said Sarutobi as he left his desk. As they walked, many people greeted Sarutobi.
They were walking for a while before Naruto said, "Old Man, you sure do know a lot of people."
"Yes, it's part of my job as Hokage," replied Sarutobi. "Hokage?" asked Naruto
"Naruto, a Hokage is the greatest shinobi in the Hidden Leaf Village. It's . . . oh wait, we're here. I'll continue my explanation later," said Sarutobi as they approached a large complex. As they walked down many hallways, Naruto noticed something about everyone that they passed by. "They all have the same lavender-colored eyes; everyone."
Sarutobi went into a meeting room while Naruto waited outside of it. After a few hours, they both left to go to Naruto's new home. As they walked, Naruto received many glares and rude comments. Sarutobi noticed the sad look on Naruto's face and tried to comfort him. "Don't worry about what they think. Someday they'll respect you." "But why don't they like me? Is there something wrong with me?"
Desperate to change the subject, Sarutobi unwillingly fueled Naruto's greatest dreamed. "Naruto, you asked what a Hokage was, didn't you?" He nodded. "Well, a Hokage is the greatest shinobi in the Hidden Leaf Village. It's his/her duty to distribute missions, handle any disputes in the village, and protect the village and its citizens. This job has a tremendous amount of responsibility and is the greatest honor in the village. With it, you earn a great amount of respect, not only in the Land of Fire, but in the other Lands as well." Naruto's jaw dropped at all this information. Very soon, they arrived at Naruto's new apartment. "Don't worry about paying for this. I talked to the landlord about it. And don't worry, they will respect you someday." Then he left, but not before giving Naruto a warm hug; the kind that your grandfather gives when he just saw you after a long time.
When Naruto entered his new apartment, only one thing was running through his mind. Not that he has a new home, or that he found someone that doesn't hate him with a passion. No, only this: " 'A great amount of respect.' Well then, I'll do just that. I'll become Hokage. And not just any Hokage, but the greatest Hokage there ever was!"
