A/N "Hello my readers and welcome to my fic" I took a sip off my coffee after I finished speaking and continued "I know it didn't take me long to update but I was already writing this chapter when I published my last one. I just finished it now in fact. Lucky for me the cast has been really cooperative, even Sasuke and Sakura. Now that I think about it..."

I bit my lip and put down my coffee on my desk as I stood up, looking around as I did so "...I haven't seen Sasuke or Sakura since I gave them a piece of my mind." I shrugged "Meh, whatever it's not like they star much yet. Anyway..."

I pick up my coffee and took a swig, wandering why it tasted odd, before bursting into my explanation "... I want to say thanks for the reviews; I really appreciate the feedback and about me needing medication, I'm already am."

I grin and take another swig. "Now about the question that asked was it Shikamaru or his son who got killed by Sasuke... it was his son. Yeah I know, heartless aren't I? I hated doing that but I needed a strong reason why Naruto gave Sasuke up as a brother. Also please note that I take no pleasure in killing the characters (Except Sakura, Sasuke and Mizuki) but I need to stress the point that Naruto is really torn up by their deaths. And trust me; the amount of times they complain about their deaths is really irritating"

I took another swig, remembering how Tsunade reacted at her death and nearly killed me. I shuddered, mentally thanking Shika for saving my but. "Anyway, about the ideas for Lee, I decided to pair him with Ayame so thank you Mental Panda and so this chap is dedicated to you. Also while I'm at it, I dedicate the last chapters to my bud CJaMes12 for helping me with punctuation and grammar. If any of you are Case closed or Detective Conan readers then she's got a fic called "The Sign of Whats to Come" you might want to read.

And please, if any of you want to see a couple just review and I will consider. However, these people have already been parried: Ino, Sai, Naruto (Obviously), Hinata (Also Obvious), Lee, Ayame, Neji and Tenten. No harem ideas please.

And Dragon Man 180, if you're reading then thanks for the suggestions. I like your ideas so I might work with some of them. And just remember, I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR ANY OTHER ANIME AND THEY ALL BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS. Now please enjoy the chapter!" I took another sip, wondering again why it tasted weird, until I noticed a note stuck to the bottom of my mug.

I pulled it off with my other hand and read it "Dear Welshscot-bastard, I hate you so much for how you write me bla, bla, bla. I am not a bitch bla, bla, bla. From Sakura, Ps I went in your... coffee." I looked at the last line, then at my mug and back again before gagging and spluttering "WTF!"

Training of a Fox and a Gaki

Naruto collapsed in a random training ground. It was seven in the morning and Naruto had just finished a very gruelling work out which evolved running around the village 500 times, 150 push ups, sit ups, squats and various over exercises. Naruto began cursing Guy under his breath for getting him into this routine. In the future he had worked out with bushy brows and Guy every morning and evening so he could be in peak fitness to face the Uchiha.

As Naruto began feeling his limbs again he reminded himself that he needed to be in top condition when he faced Haku and his demon sensei, Zabuza.

Naruto got up gingerly and decided to take five.

He sat down by a tree and pulled out a pen and a piece of paper and began to draw the training ground. Naruto had started drawing as a way to help him keep calm and to test his imagination. Sai had suggested it to him after Naruto had a fit about losing to Shikamaru for the umpteenth time and showed him some basic techniques. It was nice to have a true hobby for a change that he could do anywhere.

After 5 minutes he put his drawing away and marched into the middle of the training ground. He summoned some clones and ordered them to attack.

He spent the next half an hour practicing his taijutsu. His style was a mix of Guy's strong fist, Jiraiya's personal style and the style the Toads had taught him. It was a mix of countering and charges with a strong defence and a bone breaking attack. It came easily to him but the more advance attacks would need time before he could re- master them.

After finishing off the last clone with an uppercut, Naruto then decided to test his jutsus. He looked at a tree and performed some hand signs at the speed of light and bellowed"Wind Style: Air Bullet Jutsu."

The result was that Naruto exhaled a perfectly shaped bullet of wind. It cut the tree in half and it fell towards Naruto. He swore and performed more hand sigs saying "Earth Style: Mud Wall Jutsu" and placed his hand on the ground. A wall of mud rose up and stopped the tree in its tracks.

Naruto once more made more hand signs and yelled in his mind "Fire style: Fire Ball Jutsu" But instead of a fire ball, flames came out and burned the tree.

Unfortunately for the blonde, the flames seared his mouth as they exited. He yelled in pain and ran quickly into the forest surrounding the training area.

He quickly found the stream and put his head in it. His face now dripping wet was also showing annoyance. "Looks like I need to work on my fire manipulation." He said out loud to no one in particular. "My wind and earth are fine thanks to the amount of training I did last night. Even though they were only C rank it was a good sign."

Naruto dried his face and dedicated the next hour practicing with his shadow clones his fire manipulation. An hour later Naruto gave up and decided to practice it later, due to the fact that his burn was now throbbing painfully. He knew it would take time to heal, so he decided to have a little rest.

He lay down by the river side and daydreamed about the happiest times of his life. Like when Iruka had given him his head band, when he had won his match against Neji and the whole crowd cheered, The first time he kissed Hinata on top of Hokage Mountain and the time Konohamaru had given him his present for becoming Hokage.

Naruto was sitting in his chair facing the window in the Hokage's office when the door burst open revealing Konohamaru and his team. "Hey boss" Naruto swivelled in his chair to face the young Genin "Is it true?" he demanded.

Naruto looked thoughtful for a moment "If it's that I have slept with Hinata, no. If it's that have I beaten Shikamaru in shogi, also no but I'm close damn it!" As he said this he stood up and walked around the desk. He stopped right in front of and said while smiling "If it's have I become Hokage, then hell yes".

Konohamaru pretended to be hurt and said "What about our promise to fight over the Hokage ship" Naruto saw through this and ruffled the younger version of him self's hair saying "Well now if you do defeat me then becoming Hokage will be a given"

Konohamaru grinned at this "Guess your right boss." He then turned to his team mates and said "We got something to give to you, right guys"

They both nodded and the one called Udon pulled out a scroll and place it on the ground. "What is it?" Naruto said giving the scroll an evil eye.

"You'll see" Konohamaru said giving Naruto no reassurance. He would not put it past them to prank him. Udon then un-sealed the scroll to revile a coat, "Surprise" they all chimed, Udon packing away the scroll while Moegi picked it up and gave it to him.

Naruto realised it was his fathers coat, except that instead of the 4th it now read the 6th (*1)on the back and just above it where a persons shoulder blades would stick out was a pattern of a big red shuriken, obviously portraying his new nickname "fox shuriken". He put it on and looked down at it. It fitted perfectly.

"I found it when this was grandpas office" Konohamaru explained looking at Naruto to see if his friend liked it "I've had it for years and I heard when we came back you were Hokage. I wanted to give you a present to congratulate you so I found it in my attic, I asked Moegi and Hanabi to stitch the patterns on and Udon packed it in to the scroll" He looked down at his feet and added sheepishly "But if you don't want it it's..."

He was interrupted as their new Hokage pulled him and his friends into a bear hug. "Thanks guys, I appreciate it." He said while crushing the wind out of them.

He noticed this and let go. As the genin collapsed due to low oxygen; the blonde asked "So Hanabi eh? I knew you liked her"

Konohamaru recovered first and protested while blushing "Boss"

Konohamaru leaped in front of Guy as the purpled eyed, shark faced guy named Suigetsu tried to spear Guy through the gut.

The leaf's green beast of battle watched as Konohamaru received the blown meant for him, blood oozing out of the wound. Guy was horrified "NO KONOHAMARU!" the combined shout of Naruto and Guy was heard, even above the din of the battle.

Konohamaru craned his neck round to look at Guy "Sorry" he said meekly as his life came rushing to a close "I know you promised Naruto to protect me..." he coughed out blood as he struggled to continue "But your stronger than me, you can beat this guy and his blue skinned walking sushi of a partner" He smiled at him and said "I'll send your love to your student's when I meet them"

Suigetsu, bored at this point, threw Konohamaru off his sword. Naruto ran forward, his Wind Sword at the ready. The blonde charged the sound ninja that were in his way and tore them to pieces; their screams of pain and horror were lost in the sound of battle. After the last ninja fell to Naruto hands; he continued his sprint and barely managed to catch Konohamaru before he hit the ground.

Konohamaru smiled and muttered "Bye boss... It's a pity ...I'll never take your hat from you... like I promised" He coughed out more blooded, struggling to keep his eyes open and his final word then escaped his lips "I coming Grandpa... Udon" his eyes flicker "Moegi..." his eyes closed and he smiled and whispered "Hanabi" and he breathed no more.

Naruto woke with a start, sweat and tears trickling all over his face. He was breathing heavily. He wiped his face and told him self "No that won't happen, that was just a bad dream of a bad memory"

He looked up into the sky and he saw the sun. Judging by its position in the sky it was mid day. And the photo shot was at mid day. "Dam, I'm late!" Naruto roared in angry.

Naruto sprang to his feet and began running, knowing full well it was going to miss it. {Oh well, at least the burn is gone} He was answered by a throb {...Or maybe not.} He sighed, hoping that he being late would not change much of the time line.

Naruto was sitting in the Hokage's office, on a chair right in front of the desk.

The blonde looked at the 3rd trying not to show emotion. Naruto had trouble keeping his emotions in check when he saw Iruka, now he was looking at the man who had helped him through his child hood, the man who had died to keep the village safe from the snake basted.

"Naruto, why were you late for the photo shoot?" sighed the 3rd as he looked up at the blonde from his paperwork.

"Sorry old man, I fell asleep while training" the blonde replied.

Sarutobi sighed "Well don't be late tomorrow. Besides that's not why I asked you to come here." The 3rd looked at Naruto with concern. "I wanted to talk to you about Mizuki"

In the blonde's head, he sighed {Damn, should have known this would come up. I did kind of manage to distract Iruka with 'I'm the 4th's son and 'I not really an idiot'.}

Naruto pretended to look a bit uncomfortable before replying "I'm fine old man, don't worry about me"

The 3rd waited for the usual cry of 'believe it' but it never came "Are you sure" the hokage inquired "You don't seem your usual self"

Naruto nodded "Yes, I feel fine. I was at the time really torn up (hell I was) but then I remembered Iruka's lecture about how in the shinobi career we would end up killing and that it would be something that you would never get used to and told us ways that might help get over it. So I decided to do the basic thing, think about what would have happened if you didn't do it. So I figured if I hadn't killed him he would have killed me and Iruka sensei and..."

Naruto stopped to see a surprised hokage staring at him

"Ok. Firstly, when did you ever pay attention to Iruka? Secondly, why have you not said all your usual sayings?"

Naruto looked confused "Eh?"

"You know like believe it or dattebayo"

Naruto bit his lip {crap; I forget I used to do that. But hell, no way am I saying those things again}

"Well since I'm a Ninja now I have to stop saying childish things like that and truth be told, I really hated saying those things." Naruto frowned "Iruka did tell you that the whole idiot thing was fake right?"

Sarutobi looked taken aback "Yes he did, but I really didn't believe it..." Naruto growled in anger "But now I do" the old man said in a hurry "I'm sorry for doubting you but..."

Naruto stood up in pretend anger, well pretended to him but to the 3rd he looked really furious, thinking as he did so.

He couldn't change his personality too drastically, so... "Ok old man you're asking for it" Naruto then put his hand together

Oh no, not the sexy jutsuthe old man thought, sweat dropping franticly. But he was surprised that instead of transforming, the blonde did some hand seals, and then pointed at the hokage shouting Genjutsu: Perverts Dream

(A/N Due to the fact I'm not perverted, I am not describing what the old man is seeing. Mental note: this jutsu shows the victim the images of... I'll leave that to your imagination ;)

After the display (A/N cough cough porno show cough cough) the 3rd was flat on the floor, blood flowing out of his eyes and his nose. It took him five minutes to get off the floor and it took him another ten to wipe the blood off his face.

As he finished he growled "NEVER...DO...THAT...AGAIN!" as he finished he blasted killing intent so strong Naruto had to stop himself pissing his pants

"Y-yes H-hokage-s-sama" the blonde stuttered.

At that moment, the door opened and Konohamaru, wearing his usually attire came charging in, brandishing a shuriken yelling "Old man I chall UGH" he then tripped up on his scarf and landed face first at Naruto's feet.

Just then Ebisu came rushing in saying in a loud, pompous voice "Honorable Grandson, are you hurt?"

The said grandson stood up and pointed at Naruto and yelled "You tripped me up didn't you!"

The blonde then grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and yelled "You tripped up on your own feet gaki." (A/N Gaki means brat)

Even though it was great to see Konohamaru; Naruto remembered how much of a brat the boy was before he taught him.

"Take your hands off him." Ebisu yelled in a high pitched, annoying voice "He is the Honorable Grandson of the 3rd ..."

"I don't care if he's the Grandson of Kami!" shouted Naruto, and then smacked Konohamaru head towards the ground.

Naruto didn't want to hurt the kid, but this was the only way to get him to follow him. He turned towards the old man, ignoring Ebisu who was gawking and looking scandalized, and said "Sorry old man, but he had it coming to him."

He then walked past Ebisu, who was still gawking like an idiot, towards the door but before he left he said "Oh and yes I took the exercise and the kunai. Goodbye old man." And with that he left.

The 3rd wondered what he meant, until it came to him and he mentally hit his fore head, thinking

{Of course, that was the other reason I called him here}

The professor then bent down under his desk and pulled out the secret compartment, ignoring Ebisu's rant at his nephew. He looked in side and sure enough, the box, the letters and the three pronged kunai were gone.

All that was left was the 3rd's collection of 'research' and books from his white harried pupil. {So he did indeed toke them}. A thought struck him {doses he know about my collection?}

He was interrupted from his thoughts by Ebisu's shrieking "WHERE'S THE HONORABLE GRANDSON!"

The 3rd put the compartment back into its proper place and looked up at Ebisu replying "Maybe he went after Naruto"

"WHAT!" the Jounin screamed "THIS IS A DISASTER! HONORABLE GRANDSON!" And with that he ran out the door.

{Well at least he is gone} the old man thought {Naruto wouldn't teach Konohamaru something really bad. Would he?}

Sweat trickled down his forehead as a terrifying thought came to him {NO! PLEASE DON'T TEACH HIM PERVERTS DREAM! KAMI ANYTHING, ANYTHING BUT THAT!}

Naruto turned on his heels like he did so many years ago... well for him it was years ago, while technically he was doing it for the first time... and yelled the exact same words " I now that you're following me so give it up. That's so obvious it's pathetic."

Konohamaru lowered the camouflage; if you could call it that with his hair and hands poking up from the top. He snickered "Saw through my disguise eh? The rumors about you are true, you're good"

He then dropped the camouflage and scurried over to Naruto. He got to his legs and then pointed at him and yelled "You're my new teacher and I'm your student!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow "Oh really? What makes you so sure I want you as my student?" {I don't want to make it too easy for him this time}

Konohamaru pouted and begged "Come on please! I mean I am the Hokage's gra..." But Naruto cut across him "I think I made it clear in the office I don't care who you're relatives are, or do I have to smack more sense into you?"

Konohamaru then exclaimed "That's the reason why I want you to train me. You don't see me like that. You don't see me as the 'Honorable Grandson of the 3rd Hokage'."

Naruto then held his hand and said "Hold on I can guess the next bit. The other reason is that you think I'm so good that you think that my training will help you become Hokage faster. Am I doing good so far?"

Konohamaru nodded "Yeah that's right so can you p..." But again Naruto raised his hand for silence "Listen, Konoha wasn't built in a day nor did the 3rd become Hokage overnight. He became Hokage because he trained his hardest and understood what true strength is. Do you know what true strength is?"

Konohamaru nodded "Yeah, it comes from learning super cool j..." But again Naruto raised his hand and silence fell {Well this is new. He never did anything like last time} "Wrong. Jutsu helps but that's not true strength. True strength comes from the will to protect your friends by doing anything, even if it costs you your life."

Konohamaru then frowned "Heh, isn't that the 'Will of Fire' junk that Grandpa preaches"

A tick appeared on Naruto's brow as he said in a deadly voice "It's not junk. The old man is right and I am beginning to wonder why I even considered teaching you." He turned away from the gaki and began walking away. {Three, two, one} "WAIT!"

Naruto stopped to listen as Konohamaru then went into an apology "I'm sorry I called the 'Will of Fire' junk. I just never understood how that is true strength. Please could you reconsider?"

Unsown to Konohamaru, a grin spread across his face {Good. That's a start, but I still need more proof to see if he is as determined as he was back then. I already altered the time line so I need to be careful of changes.} He thought deeply for a seconded until an idea struck him.

He turned around and said "Fine, I'll train you." Konohamaru whooped "Thanks boss you won't b..." But Naruto raised his hand, and the little boy fell silent. "If, if you can complete this challenge. Now remember this, you can quit anytime you want because this challenge might prove too much for you. Are you prepared?"

Konohamaru nodded eagerly "I'm ready, what's the challenge?"

Silence filled the street from where they stood. It pressed in around Konohamaru, who was waiting for the challenge. The moment dragged on longer until Naruto broke the silence.

"Walk with me."

Konohamaru jaw dropped "WHAT! I thought it would be something cool and difficult! What's was all the suspense for?"

Naruto grinned and said calmly "Just a habit of mine."

"An annoying one" muttered Konohamaru

"But all jokes aside." Naruto said, as stern look covered his face "You must try to follow me. I'll even make it easy for you by just sticking to a walking pace." He turned on his heels and began walking down the street. He looked over his shoulder at Konohamaru, who was just standing there, and yelled "Well, you coming or what?"

Konohamaru bounded after him and stood by his side "This will be easy" He boasted.

{We'll see about that} the blonde thought. He began to walk and Konohamaru followed him. Naruto then turned to face a wall and continued walking. Konohamaru looked bewildered "Err... Boss? What are you...?" But he stopped as he saw his query walk up the wall.

When he was half way up the wall he looked down at Konohamaru and said "I said follow me, not stand around and gawp." And with that he continued his walk up the wall until he was on he was on the roof. He crossed the roof and then walked down the other wall onto the next street, and was surprised to see a panting Konohamaru who appeared to have run all the way ran the building to head him off.

"Ha... boss" he panted "I... told you this would b..." But he stopped as he saw his boss walk up another building, which was bigger than the last one in both height and diameter. "OH COME ON!"

It continued like this for quite a while, Naruto would walk up and down buildings while Konohamaru would try to follow him, just barley managing to keep up with him. After about an hour of this, Naruto decided that Konohamaru had done enough. So he headed out to the training ground were in his past he taught the same boy the 'Sexy Jutsu', now he was going to teach him chakra control.

As the training ground came into sight, he heard the heavy breathing of his pursuer as he staggered after him. Naruto stopped at the center of the training ground as Konohamaru collapsed down, exhausted from all the running. Naruto shook his head and thought {Damn, didn't think it would take so much out of him. Hopefully the shadow clone I sent to get ramen will be back soon}

As if right on cue, the shadow clone entered the clearing brandishing two smoking bowls of ramen. It went to Naruto and gave him one bowl and was about to eat the contents of the other bowl, until Naruto punched it in the head; thus giving himself a headache. He caught the other ramen bowl before it hit the ground and then placed it by Konohamaru saying "Eat up. You need some energy if you want to train."

As if those were the magic words, Konohamaru sat up and began devouring the bowl of ramen, stuffing the stuff down his throat with no chopstick {Or manners} thought Naruto {Even I didn't just glug it down}. Naruto then started on his own ramen, using the chopsticks that came with it. He took his time eating the ramen, savoring its flavor. It felt like years since he had ramen, which might be true considering he was six years in the past.

After he finished his bowl and set it aside, he stood up to see an energized Konohamaru, who looked impatient and excited. "Well now, let's begin" He stated. He gestured to Kono (A/N I'm tired of typing his full name so I'm calling him Kono.) to come with him, over to some trees at the edge of the training ground.

As they arrived at the base of the tree, Naruto said "Now I'm going to teach you how to control your chakra. I guess you know what it is right?" Kono nodded vigorously "Good, saves me form explaining it to you. Now charka control can help you in many ways. It can help you stick to surfaces, like what I did when you were following me. It can also help with your jutsu and..."

Naruto went on explaining all the benefits off chakra control. When he finished he gave Kono a kunai and ordered "Now I want you to focus chakra into your feet, then run up the tree. When you reach a point when you can't continue, mark the spot as you fall down. This will help mark you progress." The blonde walked away and sat down facing the tree. Kono was still standing there, waiting for Naruto to say go.

"Well..?" asked Naruto, who pointed at the tree "...Get climbing!" Kono nodded, faced the tree and charged. He reached the trunk and started to run up its bark, until he promptly slipped off. He landed on his back in a heap on the ground, clutching his head because that had hit the ground first.

Naruto sighed and stood up thinking {Well he's either got too little chakra reserves or he has big reserves but has little control. If it's the latter then this is going to take a while, if the former... well I could always help with his taijutsu}

Naruto walked over towards the brat, who was still writhing around in pain clutching his head, and said "Next time be calm and concentrate." He grabbed one of Konohamaru's arms and pulled him to his feet, while saying "If you're not then all you'll do is slip off."

Kono rubbed his sore head and replied "Ok boss, I'll nail it next time for sure" and with that he ran at the tree again, full of determination. He reached the trunk and started to run up the bark again, this time he stayed on for at least five seconds before he tumbled off it again. This time however, Naruto caught Kono before his head connected with the ground again.

He put him on the ground saying "Not bad" Kono grinned "but not good either. You need to at least reach the lowest branch before I say you have mastered this exercise" Konohamaru's grin vanished, replacing it with a groan, "Ah man, why is training so hard?"

Naruto sighed and replied "Like I said, Konoha wasn't built in a day and..." But Kono interrupted him "Yeah yeah and the old man didn't become strong in one night, but still why do I have to train so hard? You've had me running around all the time and trying to pull off this exercise all in one day. I mean the academy doesn't train people this hard so..."

Naruto then raised his hand again and Kono fell silent {Jeez, this is defiantly useful, I can get him to shut up whenever I want to} "Am I teaching you something at the academy?" heasked, in which Kono shook his head in response. "No, I'm not. I'm teaching you something that is expected from Genin, not from academy students. In the academy they only prepare you to be ninja, they don't force you to train as hard like Genin do. I'm not a Genin either but I want to be strong so I put effort in and train as much as I possibly can to make sure I can achieve my dream."

"And what is your dream boss?" asked Kono, curiosity in his voice. Naruto was about to say 'to become Hokage' but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to lie. Naruto had recently lost interest in his dream of becoming Hokage, having already achieved that goal in his past, or was it his future? {Bah, so damn troublesome. ... I think I spent too much time around Shika and his dad}

"So, what is it boss" the little kid asked, waiting impatiently for his boss's answer. Naruto decided to tell the truth {It's not that big a deal anyway. It's not like I haven't changed the time line already}

Far away in another dimension, a hollow was about to kill an orange haired soul reaper, who was lying on the ground under the hollows claw when it suddenly had a sneezing fit. The soul reaper took advantage of this and swung his Zanpactou at the hollow's mask, which broke in two. "Ah crap!" swore the hollow as the gates of the underworld opened up behind him "And I thought it was bad being killed by that demon!" He said no more as a hand, armed with a spike that had emerged through the gate, impaled him. And as the hand withdrew into the gate, the ginger soul reaper caught the last ever glimpse of the hollow, who had been known in life as Mizuki.

"Well..." Naruto began, trying to find away to say this without revealing too much of the truth "...there was this man who had saved me, saved me from a terrible thing that would have happened if he had not intervened..." Naruto paused, trying to find to find some more words. While he thought Kono asked "How did he save you Boss?"

"Well... let's just say he gave me a 'chance' and no I won't explain what that means. Anyway, the point is because of... what he did I promised him I would for fill his dream for him."

Kono nodded in understanding, and then he frowned "But why did you say you would for fill it for him? And what was his dream?"

Naruto sighed "Well... Bah, never mind. Just continue the exercise, gaki, you need to reach the lower branch before I say you master this exercise."

A tick appeared on the kid's forehead as he growled "Don't call me a gaki; you're not that old enough to call me one. You're only what, twelve?"

{Actually I'm twenty} thought the blonde. He shrugged "So? I'm still older than you and all you doing at the moment is moaning like a spoilt kid... wait, you are." Kono stomped his feet "I am not!"

"Then prove it." Said the blonde with a smirk on his face, pointing at the tree "If you can finish this exercise in a week I will stop calling you a gaki... for a while"

Kono grinned, determination spread all over his face, as he boasted "Watch me boss, I'll finish this exercise so fast that even you'll be amazed" he positioned himself in front of the tree and yelled "Believe it!" grinning like a idiot.

Naruto sweat dropped {Did I really used to say that? No wonder they called me a baka. Still, at least it's good to see he's got guts.} His thoughts turned to his white harried and perverted sensei {And guts to never give up is a true form of strength, isn't it Pervy Sage} He smiled as he remembered his old sensei, as he watched Kono run up the tree again and promptly fall down it.

Naruto thought he heard a faint scream; he was sure he heard someone being beaten to a pulp. Being the pupil of three rewound perverts (Turns out Killer Bee read very pervy raps and Baki had the entire collection of Icha Icha: Desert Love) he knew the sound of a peeping tom having his but handed to him by a bunch of distraught, angry and very deadly females. This made him wonder where the old pervert was.

The answer was that he was face down on a Konoha pavement after having being tortured, maimed and almost killed by a couple of females that had caught him researching. Usually they just threw stuff at him and screamed but unfortunately for the great sage, the occupants of today's bath had been Tsume, Kurenai, Anko and if his memory served him correctly... no can't remember the first name but he knew it was a Haruno; the pink hair, loud screaming and brute strength that was not far off from Tsunade's was an obvious give away.

As he pushed himself off the ground he cursed Konoha's plant life because his sneezes must have been hay fever. But what if it wasn't? What if it was caused by someone... he stooped his train of thought as he heard snakes slithering across the ground. He craned his neck to see that Anko and her fellow bath friends, all dressed back into their proper attire, were all armed with kunai, claws, and brooms and in Anko's case snakes. She grinned evilly as she said "Well you didn't think we would let you get off so easy did you?" Her snakes were now dangerously close to the sage's mid regions as she said "Striking shadow snakes: Break the family jewels!" His screaming was heard all over the fire country.

Naruto sweat dropped and thought {Were ever he is, it sounds like he's gone and perved on kunoichi and got caught. Hopefully he won't die; though it is a nice contrast to being killed by your student. You get to see a sight worth seeing before you die}

Kono really did mean what he said as he continued his effort of mastering the exercise. It had been five hours until the kid was resting on the lower branch, panting like a dog. He looked down at his teacher and gave him the thumbs up, panting "See, *pant* I told *pant* you *pant * would* pant* do i..." But the kid, who was exhausted beyond belief, fell asleep, his head lolling on his shoulder.

Naruto shook his head {He wasn't so bad. Even though the tree is only 3 feet tall it's still a good start. I'll teach him something when he...} But his thoughts were interrupted with the loud below of "WHERE'S THE HONORABLE GRANDSON!"

Naruto's ears were ringing with the man's shout as he turned to face Ebisu, who was giving Naruto a pitiful killing intent and a stony cold glare. When Naruto could hear himself think, he yelled at the closet pervert "Jeez, you scream like a frickin Haruno! Could it kill you to speak like a normal person, you four eyed freak!"

Ebisu ignored him and announced to the clearing "Honorable Grandson, please come with me and leave this delinquent to his own devices! I am your shortcut to becoming Hokage, not this pitiful punk!" Kono responded with a loud snore, the boy was still perched on the branch, his head lolling over his shoulder still.

{Wow, he slept through all that yelling?} Thought Naruto{He must be really exhausted, perhaps I worked him too hard after all... meh, No pain no gain.} He then turned his attention to Ebisu, who was looking around wildly for Kono. "Listen four eyes; all that stuff about being a shortcut is a pile of bull. There are no shortcuts to becoming Hokage; all there is to it is hard work and dedication. Anyway, if you're such a great teacher why did he seek me out? Looks to me that I, the 'delinquent', am a far better teacher then you are. What are you, a held back Genin or something?"

Ebisu growled and roared "YOU INSOLENT GAKI! I WILL SHOW YOU WHO'S A HELD BACK GENIN!" He readied himself into a battle position "PREPARE TO FEEL THE POWER OF A JOUNIN!"

Naruto raised his hands in front of his chest, holding them ready to perform hand signs, and retorted "Oh yeah? Well witness the power of my secret killer move!" {God that sounded corny. Well can't be too smart can I} He started going through some hand signs, thinking {I went easy on the old man with this, but you four eyes are getting the full version} He landed on the last hand sign and pointed at Ebisu with his left hand and yelled in his head { Icha Icha Style: Hentai Paradise!}

Ebisu froze, his face rigged as the most erotic sight he ever saw flashed before his eyes {Three, two, one} Then he screamed, blood gushed out of his nose like two thick rivers of red that shot out at high speed like a fire hose. Ebisu was lifted into the air, thanks to the pure power of his nose bleed. He was carried high into the air until he was out of sight. Naruto head the faint sound of a splash, a scream and the sound of fists upon flesh. Clearly the closet pervert had landed in the women's bath house {I think I over did it a bit}the blonde thought, sweat tricking down his brow.

Ebisu was now next to Jiraiya; his head was all so buried into the pavement. He tried to push himself off the ground when Jiraiya pulled him back down whispering "Don't move. If you move then they will beat you up like a piñata." His warning came too late as he heard the sound of snakes again. He groaned and braced himself for the pain while Ebisu looked to see the crowd of angry women. "Well looks like you're still alive" said Anko, who had a very sadistic grin on her face."Well at least you've got a friend to suffer with you." The snakes came closer and closer; Jiraiya closed his eyes in dread while Ebisu whimpered "Mommy." The screams of pure agony and suffering were heard throughout the elemental lands and will be remembered till the end of time.

Naruto stood there in silence for a seconded before making the cross symbol on his chest praying {MayKami have mercy on your soul Ebisu for you have suffered a fate worse than death.} In other countries; other perverts were doing the exact same words except about his name. (A/N... ok that's weird. Must be some sacred pervert thing or something

He looked up at the tree to see that Kono was still fast asleep. {I really did put him through the ringer. Well better not wake him} Naruto leaped up upon the branch and scooped Kono into his arms. {Better drop him off at the old man's office} And with that he leapt down from the tree and headed straight for his destination.

Naruto arrived in front of the Hokage building and knocked. He then gently put down the sleeping Kono and started to walk away, but he glanced back at the kid and smiled, {You did well Konohamaru. Hopefully with my help and your dedication you will become Hokage someday. After all...} Naruto turned away from the sleeping boy, who was clearly having a dream bout ramen due to the fact he was muttering about noodles and miso, and thought {... I had my turn, so it's only right to pass it on to my rival} And with that he left.

The door opened to reveal an Anbu guard, who looked around to see who had knocked only to see the sleeping boy on the door step. The guard muttered "There you are, your grandfather worried about you."

He bent down and picked up Kono, while doing so noticed the boy's sweat and dirty face. "Whoa, what happened to you?" His response was a snore. The Anbu shook his head, muttering "Well whatever you did, you look liked me after sensei first trained me." He shuddered, remembering his first day of Chunin training was not the most pleasant experience.

The Anbu carried the sleeping boy upstairs into the Hokage's office. As he entered, kicking the door open due to his hands being full, he addressed the room saying "Hokage-sama! I found...Hokage-sama?"

The said Hokage was sitting at his desk with his crystal ball upon it. Hiruzen Sarutobi had been watching Naruto and Kono threw his crystal ball and to say he was surprised was an understatement. He had been shocked that Naruto really knew the tree climbing exercise and that the blonde had such wisdom for his age. He never realized that the boy held his clan's belief (The Will of Fire) so highly.

Though he was pleased that the boy had such knowledge and wisdom, it saddened the old man, thinking that even after all these years of knowing him, he never really knew the real Naruto. All that time when the boy boasted loudly about how he would become Hokage and that goofy grin and catchphrase 'believe it' was all just an act.

As he watched Naruto train Kono, he wondered why Naruto pretend to be such an idiot. But then he remembered what Iruka had told him; about how that people ignored him when he tried to be smart so he acted the fool to get attention, even around him.

The one thing that Hiruzen thought as he saw Naruto test his grandson was {Harsh. Clever but Harsh}Naruto had really pushed Kono with his test, making him chase him around half of Konoha was something that academy children would find taxing since the academy never pushed children this hard. But even though it was taxing, Kono came through and because of this Naruto taught him the tree climbing exercise.

But even as he taught him, Naruto showed no mercy as he pushed Kono harder which resulted in the boy complaining, saying that the academy never pushed them this hard. Naruto then lectured him about how that since this wasn't the academy he expected Kono to train harder, and said that even though he isn't a Genin he trained hard so he can achieve his dream.

The old man was expecting Naruto to say 'to become Hokage' when Kono asked what was his dream. He was shocked to hear that Naruto's dream was not to become Hokage but to fore fill another dream, someone who had apparently saved him by giving him a 'chance'.

Who this person was and what he meant by 'chance' was never told as the boy ended the subject by telling his grandson to continue his exercise, calling him a gaki as he did so. Sarutobi wondered why he called Kono that when Naruto was only about three years older than him and apparently so did his grandson. Naruto responded that he would stop calling him that if he finished the exercise in a week. Kono responded with gusto, clamming that he would finish it in a flash and even said 'believe it'.

True to his word, Kono practiced for hours until the he mastered the exercise. This was a considerable feat for an academy student, even though the said student had fallen asleep on the branch. Sarutobi saw that Naruto was impressed with the boy, as he had witnessed the boy's achievement first hand. The old man was glad that Naruto had taught him the exercise then his Perverts Dream jutsu, something which he had feared he's do.

The Genjutsu had been so graphic... he shuddered. How Naruto developed or even got the idea for this jutsu was beyond him; though he must admit this was coming from the boy who had created the Sexy Jutsu. So when Ebisu came along and challenged Naruto after the boy had berated the Jounin about strength and called him a 'Held back Genin'; Naruto had used the same jutsu on him and the effects were... horrifying.

He had been so scared so frightened of what he had seen he had been paralyzed, reducing the old man to just stare at the crystal ball. He only stopped this continuous stare when his Anbu guard addressed him, the said Anbu holding his grandson who was fast asleep in his arms.

The 3rd looked up at the Anbu and said blankly "What?" The Anbu gestured his head towards the sleeping boy and replied "I found your grandson Hokage-sama. Someone left him by the front door"

The 3rd smiled, mentally thanking Naruto for delivering his grandson and also for the lessons that he had taught him today. Sarutobi then commanded "Ok, take him to his room." He hesitated for a moment before asking "And when that's done, bring me the forbidden scroll."

The Anbu frowned behind his mask as he replied "As you wish Hokage-sama, but what do you want with the forbidden scroll, if you don't mind me asking?"

The 3rd replied "I need to add a new Jutsu to it. A jutsu so powerful and dangerous it could even defeat me in one blow." The Anbu gasped and asked in wonder "What is this Jutsu, Hokage-sama?"

Sarutobi bowed his head, a look of utter seriousness on his face, as he muttered in a dark tone "Perverts Dream." And while the Anbu looked bemused and confused; Sarutobi made the mark of the cross on his chest and recited, {May Kami have mercy upon your soul because you have suffered a fate worse than death} He paused as he looked out the window at Naruto's apartment, then continued {And may Kami favor Konoha in the heavens, because I believe once Naruto becomes a Genin; the 'shit will hit the fan'... or at least I think that's how the youngsters say it these days}

A/N "Hoped you enjoyed it. Now (1) just to clarify, I know that Danzo becomes Hokage (Even though it didn't last long) but I think because he died after being Hokage for a couple of days or so it means he doesn't deserve to be remembered as the 6thHokage. "

E/N Editors Note, Wasn't the forth only Hokage for like a Day. Danzo doesn't deserve to be sixth, coz' he's... Danzo.

A/N As I finished speaking Naruto, Sai, Hinata, Sakura and Lee entered being my room, all of them chatting to each over.

{Good, commence stage one: Stall target} I thought. Sakura was the first to speak "Hello Welshscot-bastard enjoyed your coffee?" I ignored this and instead addressed Lee "Hi Lee, good thing you're here. I wanted to ask you something, how do you feel being paired with Ayame?"

Lee responded with a grin, saying "I think it is marvelous that I am paired with Ayame-chan; even though it's a letdown that I'm not with Sakura..." Out of the corner of my eye I saw her shiver at the thought; and then I cursed in my head {Damn banshee; Lee is lucky not to be landed with you, he deserves better than some dumb bitch.}

"... Ayame-chan is sweet and kind and does not think that I am weird. Anyway, I am starting to regret liking Sakura because of this story; she is too evil and cruel for me to like her now.It was very un-youthful of her. "

Sakura was annoyed at this and yelled "Listen Spandex Freak, this story is just made up and will never happen. I am not a bitch and Sasuke is not Emo!"

"So you wouldn't betray everyone for Sasuke?" I asked. Sakura paused as she contemplated her answer, her face was obviously showing that she was torn between her answers. "Exactly, if you really did get offered the chance you would still be tempted and don't you deny it."

She was about to respond when a kunai came through the open window {Stage two: Daze the target} Then at that moment, Gai came flying in yelling "Dynamic Entry!" Sakura was very unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of Gai's kick (Yes, really unfortunate) which sent her flying into the wall.

Lee was shocked while Naruto, Sai and Hinata were just surprised he hadn't come sooner. Gai saw what he did and began to apologies "Sorry about that my youthful friend, Welshscot asked me to..."

I interrupted by saying to Lee "Hey look Lee, its Gai-sensei!" {Stage three: Blind the target}

Lee looked at his idol and yelled "Guy-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

Now any sensible person would have done what I did; which was pulling out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. Turns out that Sai, Naruto and Hinata where sensible people; Sakura wasn't so when she stood up after falling off the wall she was greeted by a brilliantly blazing sunset.

Now I have to admit that the sunset was awesome, but I think it would be better off without Lee and Gai as they hugged each other. Sakura took one look at the scene before covering her eyes yelling "IT BURNS!" She staggered forwards, trying to find a way of escaping the display of hugging and Genjutus.

Sakura was unaware that she was heading straight for my open window. She was also unaware that Naruto and Sai were waiting for her by the window on either side. {Final stage: The fall}

As Sakura came close to the window, Sai said "Ready Naruto?" Naruto gave a foxy grin and replied "Ready my friend."Hinata then went behind Sakura and said "Ready and waiting."

They all look at me and I gave them a nod. Hinata pushed Sakura forwards, which caught the women completely by surprise so she began stumbling towards the window. Sai and Naruto both stuck a foot out which Sakura tripped up on; causing her to fall out the window head first.

Lee and Gai stopped hugging when they heard the sound of flesh meeting concrete. Being totally unaware of my plan, Lee asked "What happened to Sakura? She was hear just a seconded ago and what was that sound?"

I stood up and walked over to the window and looked out of it. She had not fallen far, or rather not by anime standards, and was now spread eagled on the ground. I smirked and raised my hands out in front of me, saying as I did so "That sound was nothing compared to this." {And now the encore} I clapped my hands and the paper bombs around Sakura exploded.

I watched the mini mushroom cloud that was made by the explosion with interest before shutting the window. I turned around to see the dumb struck faces of Gai and Lee and the sweat drops from Hinata, Naruto and Sai. "What?" I asked.

"That was over kill with the explosions Welshscot, you need her alive for your story and she can't do that if she is a grain of dust." responded Naruto. I shrugged "She'll live; if you anime character can survive being punched 1000km then you can survive a few little explosions."

Hinata shook her head in disbelief "Your type of 'little explosion' is the same as six of Deidara's clay bird bombs."

I just replied "Like I said, it wouldn't kill you. Land you in hospital for months maybe, but death takes a lot more than that."

Then Lee piped up "But why did you do that to her in the first place? That was very cruel and un-youthful!"

I looked Lee in the eyes and replied "She peed in my coffee Lee; how is that not youthful?"

Lee and Gai cringed and replied "That is very un-youthful indeed!"

I nod and said "Thought so." I turned to Gai and asked "Can you take her to the hospital Gai? Like Naruto said, we need her for the story."

Gai went into his good guy pose and stated "You've got it Welsh-sama! And before I go, I haven't seen Sasuke and when I went to look for him he wasn't any where around here."

I bit my lip "Damn it, where is that Emo-Duck? Thanks anyway Gai, see you later." As Gai began running out the room I turned towards the others and said "Anyway, thanks you guys for helping; including you Lee even though you didn't know about it.

Well I think that's that, review good or bad and see you soon. Adios.

E/N Hey readers, this is CJaMes12 just repeating Welsh's request to review and pointing out the problem some people have with long A/N's. If you think that the A/N's are too long, review so, or, if you enjoy reading them, review so as well. I feel now that I have been recognized in the A/N I should say now that, I apologize for any grammar/punctuation mistakes that I have missed... Welsh is pressing me to do this as he wants to get this out tonight, despite the late hour and the age and a day it takes for sentences to register. :D

A/N Took your bloody time about it too CJ. Anyway, hope you enjoyed.
