Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
A/N: I am sorry for being gone for so long, but I am back now and I will try to get back to my consistent schedule.
This chapter is different from the previous chapters. While not necessarily filler, as it is very important to the lore of the story, it is not a continuation of the previous chapter, and Naruto's adventures will continue in the next chapter. Just wanted to give notice before people question what this chapter has to do with anything.
Hope you like it!
It was a delightful day in Konoha, as the Hokage was going through the tedious amount of paperwork that went into running one of the largest villages in the Eastern Continent. After looking through and denying all sorts of idiotic suggestions and complaints, the Hokage decided to take a short break.
The 9th Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, Setsuna Uchiha, got up from her office chair and looked out the window towards the landscape of the bustling village. It had been almost 2 years since she was appointed the youngest Hokage in history, beating Naruto Uzumaki's previous record of 18 by 2 years.
While there were a few ninja in the village stronger than her, all of them used some lame excuse to reject the title. In the end, Konohamaru had led the village for 12 years until Setsuna gained enough experience to become Hokage.
She turned towards the many photos hanging on the wall until she reached the 7th one. Undoubtedly the strongest shinobi to ever exist, and quite possibly the strongest being in the universe, Naruto Uzumaki, praised by Humankind as its savior and feared by the Otsutsuki as the Human God.
It has been 14 years since the 7th Hokage had recreated the universe after the Otsutsuki God had turned everything and everyone to dust. It was a very confusing event to many, seeing those that had perished before their very eyes back in the world of the living. If it weren't for Kurama's explanation of the fight between Naruto and The Otsutsuki God, they may still have been perplexed by the whole incident.
Kurama had sacrificed himself to achieve a power known as baryon mode during their fight against the head of the Otsutsuki clan and the Otsutsuki God's messenger, Kagai Otsutsuki. However, after the Restoration of the Universe, Kurama had gained fragments of Naruto's memory of events even after Kurama's death through their spirit link, which allowed him to understand the outcome of the battle.
In the Restoration, as it is termed, Naruto Uzumaki used the ultimate eyes known as Shinkugan, which he obtained when battling the Otsutsuki God, to bring back everyone that was killed during the Otsutsuki war, as well as some who had passed during Naruto's lifetime, most notable being Jiraiya of the Sannin and Neji Hyuga. However, there were 3 exceptions to this, namely Hinata Hyuga, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, with no apparent reason for their absence.
After the Restoration, Naruto was nowhere to be found, and Kurama had used a majority of his chakra to send millions of clones across the universe in search for him and the other missing ninja.
Setsuna picked up one of the framed photos on her desk, which showed her 3 year old self along with a tall, black haired man and a pink haired woman. It had been the last photo they took before Sasuke's death, which had made her, unwillingly, the youngest person in possession of a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan eyes at the fragile age of 4.
Setsuna sat back down and got back to work on the next batch of paperwork. The first chunin exams to happen in Konoha during the 9th Hokage's term was happening soon, and in front of her was the list of genin taking part in the exams.
It proved to be a very impressive list. The 3 new members of the current seven swordsmen of the mist from Kiri, the new generation of A, B and C from Kumo, the Kazekage's adopted son, as well as the successor's of many of Konoha's elites.
Her eyes stopped at one team in particular. Genin Kanami Hatake, Hinomaru Sarutobi and Shin Uzumaki, under Jonin Kurama. Team 7, more popularly known as the 'Prodigy Team' as it consists of the children of the 6th, 7th and 8th Hokage under the tutelage of the Juubi no Kitsune, one of the strongest beings to ever exist.
The council was very surprised when Kurama had asked to become a jonin sensei for the young to-be-genin, and Setsuna assumed it might be because the bijuu wanted to train Naruto's child himself.
Despite it being Kurama's first time having students of his own, team 7 had a very good track record, and he had trained the trio to be proficient in their respective abilities and work well together as an infiltration team.
Putting the paper down, Setusna continued with her Hokage duties as the day went on.
I'd say that was a pretty big chunk of lore for you. Hope that will compensate for being gone for so long.
I really tried my hardest to get this chapter over 1k words but couldn't. Sorry about this chapter being short after waiting this long.
