Chapter six ^^

Happy reading

"Dad I could never hate you, either of you. You both gave up your lives to protect the village. I couldn't be prouder. I get to say my father not only died protecting this village, but he also lead it. Though no one will believe me." Naruto said said the last part with a little laughter in his voice. At that point Minato thew his hands around Naruto and tried to hug him. He left his arms hovering where he wanted them to be, so they wouldn't go threw him.

"Mom, dad, do you mind if I go to bed, a lot happened today, and I'm pretty tired?" Naruto asked after his father let him go.

'Sure honey, goodnight.' Kushina said still a little shocked from what she heard.

'Night kid'o.' The fourth said ruffling Naruto's hair.

~~~~~~~~~~Start Chapter~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto was walking down the street headed down to to the market. His mother floating down behind him. He got to a stand that was selling some vegetables.

'We are going to need some tomatoes. Pick that one, it's the ripest.' Kushina said pointing to one of the fruit. When Naruto went to grab it, a pale hand grabbed his stopping him from getting it. Following the hand back to it's owner, Naruto saw it belong to Sasuke. Sasuke was holding the tomato in his other hand.

"Sasuke, what the hell?" Naruto shouted at the said person.

"This tomato is mine, dobe. It is the ripest" Sasuke said as he added the fruit to his basket with other tomatoes. Behind him was a transparent women who looked identical to him, she had a furious look on her face.

'Sasuke, I know you can hear me young man! Give that back, you have plenty!'

"Teme, that tomato would have been mine if you wouldn't have stop my hand from grabbing it." Naruto shouted as he pointed at Sasuke.

'Naruto stop. You're making a scene.' The blonde's mother try to reason. But, it was already to late. Some of Sasuke's fan girls had over hear him yelling at their idol. They came rushing to the duo and started yelling at him. Seeing the girls were distracted by Naruto, Sasuke left the group with out making a sound. His mother stayed behind and deeply apologized for her son's arrogant behavior.

"Sasuke can have any tomato he wants, dead last." One girl shouted.

'He already had six others. Why did he need that one?'

"Yeah, he needs it to so he can stay strong." Another girl yelled.

'Strong, that's what he is? I though he was a little prick that enjoyed picking on my son. Man I wish you could see me right now. I would would give you a tongue whipping of a life time!'

Mikoto sighed before floating away, ' I would even give you permission.'

"Here take one, you will need it to become strong." A third girl said as she picked up a tomato and threw it at Naruto. It hit him on the right cheek, under his eye.

"Hey!" The stand owner yelled at the group. The girls seeing the out raged man ran."Who's going to pay for that?" He yelled after them.

'Why you, get back here, so I can rip you from limb from limb!' The pissed off mother yelled after the girls.

"I will sir. I'm sorry for the disturbance I have caused." Naruto said as he bowed.

"Just get out of here, demon!" The man yelled while he threw his own tomato at the boy. Which hit his shirt. The force of the hit caused Naruto to fall. He got up and ran the way he came.

'Hey ass hole, that's my son you're throwing food at. You are so lucky that touch you. This conversation isn't over!' The Red head shouted as she first to to hit the man, then going after her son. She found him sitting alone on the swing outside the academy.

'Don't worry about him' Kushina said as she got down on his level.

"You rip him a new one?" Naruto asked looking at his mother.

'Sure did, and he's getting more tonight. No one messes with my kid and gets away with it.' She said with a laugh in her voice.

"Thanks mom. I wish other people could see you like I can." Naruto said as he drew in the dirt with his foot.

'Me too honey, me too. How about we go home get you cleaned up and then head over to Ichiraku?' She said as she stood up.

"What about dad, I'm grounded remember." Naruto said as he hopped off the swing.

'Tsh, that push over? I can get him to come around.' The red head mother said as she ruffed his hair.

"Thanks mom." Naruto said as he wiped off some of the tomato juice from his face. The pair headed towards home. When the two got home Naruto ran into the bathroom.

'We need to talk.' Kushina said as she floated up to her husband. She waited till the shower started before she said anything.

'You know when a woman says that it's never a good thing.' Minato said looking up from the scroll he was reading. He wore a smirk on his face. It quickly left when he saw Kushina's face.

'Naruto is going to Ichiraku after his shower.' She said looking Minato in the eye.

'No, he's grounded. He was suppose to go to the market today and get the things you told him.' Minato said looking back at the scroll.

'He was, until a brat, that goes by the name of Uchiha, ruined it. It's hard to believe he's Mikoto's son' Kushina said pushing Minato away from the scroll. She then told him what had happened at the market.

'Alright.' Minato said a bit sad. He said it hoping the conversation would end there. He knew how his wife could be when it came to Naruto.

'I'm going to give that stale owner a piece of my mind.' Kushina said making a fist, and shaking it.

'Let me do it. The last time you did it the man needed to be hospitalized.' Minato said rubbing his temples. He did this not out of a headache, but out of habit.

'It's not my fault that he had a low psyche.' Kushina said putting her hands on her hips.

'Which is probably why he never became a shinobi.' Minato said recalling that he never seen that man in his office to get a mission.

'He deserved it. Naruto was just looking at the masks. It wasn't like he trying to steal one.' Kushina said looking at the blond ghost.

'That's besides the point.' Minato said trying to get her back on topic. At that moment The shower had stop.

~~~~~~~~~~ The next day after after having his picture taken ~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto was sitting in the Hokage office. The Hokage, and the record shinobi were sitting behind the desk, while Naruto sat on the other side, with his parents behind him. The Hokage was looking at Naruto's registration paper. Naruto was chuckling nervously and rubbing the back of his neck.

"At first I couldn't figure out exactly how to do it. It took me three hours to work it out, and stuff. But, I got it. Like an art project on my face. Only cooler." Naruto said looking at the Hokage.

'Oh, I've got to see this.' Kushina said as she went behind the Hokage to see the picture. She took one look at the picture and burst out laughing.

"Take it again." The Hokage said as he put the registration paper down.

"No way!" Naruto said looking at the older man.

"We can't expect this photo." The Hokage said closing his eyes.

'Minato you have to see this.' Kushina said in between laughs.

"Yeah, well I'm not doing it again." Naruto said. Minato went over to where his wife is, looked at the photo and sweat dropped.

'Naruto.' Was all the ghost said as Naruto and the Hokage had a Looked at each other. Naruto, feeling the pressure, used his sexy jutsu. The Hokage fell to the floor with blood dripping from his nose.

'That's another week, young man.' His mother shouted

'And, he hasn't even met Sensei yet.' Minato said looking at his son, who had turned back. His wife just glared at him.

"That's the sexy jutsu you say?" The Hokage said removing the blood from his face. "Very tricky, much too tricky. Never do it again."

'Damn right you'll never do it again. Is this what you been learning when you go off by yourself?' Kushina asked looking at him.

"Where is your headband,Naruto? You're suppose to be wearing it." The Hokage asked looking at the headband less boy.

"Oh, I'm not putting it on before the orientation. I don't want to mess it up." Naruto said as he played with his goggles.

"So, you want your headband nice. But, your photo that is suppose to id you makes you look like a clown. It's for shinobi training and missions. Which is the key to your future. Look at this picture. You can't even tell who it is." The Hokage said as he picked up the paper once again.

"Well fine. How am I suppose to know this stuff anyways?" Naruto asked .

'Well, maybe if you listen to what your father has say once in a while. And really, you should retake this picture.' His mother said looking at her son.

'Now, now honey. We agreed that when Naruto became a shinobi that he could make his own decisions. If that's how he wants hos picture, let it be. But I wonder something. I wonder how long it will take the Third to realize that we have a little spy around here.' Minato said looking at the door. At that moment Konohamaru came into running into the room.

"Old man, I challenge you. I'm going to become the Hokage." He was holding shuriken. Seeing the danger, Kushina stepped on Konohamaru's scarf, causing him to trip. As he was getting up another shinobi came running into the room.

"Some thing trip me." Konohamaru said his eyes landing where Kushina was, for just a moment before looking away.

"Are you O.K. Honorable Grandson?" The new comer asked. "And by the way there isn't anything for you to trip on. It's pretty flat." Not liking the look the man was giving her son, Kushina started to mess with the man by making funny faces at him.

"Alright you're the one who tripped me aren't you?" Konohamaru asked pointing at Naruto. Annoyed, Naruto grabbed him by his scarf and pulled him ready to punch him.

"You tripped over your own feet." He yelled at him.

"Hey you, take your hands off right now. He's the Honorable Grandson of the third Hokage" The new comer shouted at Naruto.

'Yeah well. That's the Honorable son, so lay off' Kushina said pointing at Naruto. Naruto, not paying attion to his mother, looked at the boy he had in his grip.

"What's the matter, I thought you were going to hit me. Afraid that my grandfather is the Hokage?" Konohamaru said baiting Naruto.

"I don't care if he's your grandmother! So believe it!" Naruto yelled at him as he hit him over the head. Minato had a small smile on his face when he saw the posture of Konohamaru change. Kushina just laughed at the man freaking out.

"You are the grandson of the Honorable Third Hokage, you can not let him draw it into a fight, even if he deserves it." The man said as he scolded Konohamaru.

'Deserves it? Let me at him. Let me at him.' Kushina shout as Minato held her back.

"He's far beneath you."

'Beneath him? Minato if you don't let me go right now, so help me.' Kushina said as she tried to gt out of Minato's hold.

"You mustn't stoop to his level. As your elite shinobi trainer I am always right. Which means I am never wrong. Which means I am always right."

'Never Wrong my ass!' Kushina yelled.

"I am far above the other trainers. So heed my every word." The man said as he turned his back on the pair of boys.

'Why don't you leave Naruto. I don't know how much longer I can hold her back.' Minato said looking at his son. Naruto calmly left the room with Konohamaru following behind him. After some time they could hear the man yell 'Honorable Grandson'.

~~~~~~~~~~ Outside ~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto and his parents started on his way home. Minato and Kushina looked behind him a saw the boy following Naruto.. Naruto noticed it right away to. At first Naruto he saw Konohamaru trying to hide behind buildings. Then he grabbed a cloth that looked like the road and covered himself, but his feet were showing. Naruto went down a little ways more before he turned back. Konohamaru had another cloth, but this one looked like a fence. It would have looked convincing if it wasn't for the fact the wood planks were sideways.

"I know you're following me, so just give it up." Naruto said pointing at the boy Konohamaru just stood behind the cloth like nothing happened. "That's so obvious it's pathetic." Naruto said hoping to get him to lower the cloth.

"Saw though my disguise, uh. The rumors about you are true. You're good. Alright, I'll be your apprentice and you'll be my trainer." Konohamaru said pointing at Naruto.

"Uh?" Naruto said taken back by the boy had told him.

"After wards you have to show me how to do that sexy jutsu thing, you did on Grandpa Hokage.

'NO WAY IN HELL ARE YOU LEARNING THAT JUTSU!' Kushina yelled at the boy. Minato then took her a little distance from where the boys were.

"Who's she?" Konohamaru asked afraid of the now angered woman.

"My mom, this is some kind of joke, isn't it?" Naruto asked looking at Konohamaru.

"No, I need a new trainer. Please boss?" Konohamaru begged.

"Boss?" Naruto asked wondering about his new nickname.

"Yeah you're the boss, boss, boss ,boss." Konohamaru said as he got excited.

"Well, how can I so no to that?" Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head.

'I do believe he has made his first friend.' Minato said as he watched the pair. He then led Kushina away from the boys so they could be alone.

~~~~~~~~~~ An hour later ~~~~~~~~~~

After some tries and misses the pair find themselves out in the forest behind Naruto's house. They were sitting on an old log having a drink.

"You were able to see my mother earlier, weren't you?" Naruto asked looking at the boy.

"You mean the scary red head? Yeah why do you ask?" Konohamaru asked taking a drink.

"So what's obsession you've got with your grandfather?" Naruto asked hoping to distract the younger male.

"My Grandfather named Konohamaru after the village, so it should be easy to remember. But no one calls me that name. Not one person in the whole village. That's 'cause when they look at me, they don't really see me. All they see is the Honorable Grandson of the Lord Hokage. No one knows who I am. I can't stand it anymore. It's like I'm invisible, like I don't exist. I hate that. That's the reason why I have got to become the Hokage now. So people know who I am." Konohamaru said looking a bit sad.

"Get real. Do you think people are just going to respect a squirt like you? A kid can't just turned into a Hokage after a day or two." Naruto said as he finished his drink.

"WHAT?" Konohamaru shouted as he stood up in rage. At that moment Minato and Kushina found where the boys had gone off to.

"It's not that simple. You keep saying Hokage, Hokage. To really be a Hokage you know what you have to do?"

"What, what is it?" Konohamaru said getting closer to Naruto.

"You're going to have to defeat me in battle!" Naruto shouted.

'Can he see us?' Minato asked looking at the child.

"Yes I can see you!" Konohamaru said looking at the male

'Well then we need to have a talk.'

~~~~~~~~~~ A few minutes later ~~~~~~~~~~

'Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them' Minato ended his little speech. At that moment Konohamaru's teacher came into view.

"I found you." He said as he landed on the tree branch behind them. "So Honorable Grandson, it's time to go home." He said as he jumped down.

"What, no way. I'm learning how to beat my grandfather, so I can get the title of Hokage. Now don't get in my way." Konohamaru refused.

"The Hokage is more then just a fighter. He must know virtue, honor, wisdom, and he must be skilled with a thousand jutsu. You don't even know one jutsu." He said as he got closer to them. Not liking where was headed, Konohamaru put his hands in a certain hand said, and said transform. A mostly naked female version of him was reviled.

'NARUTO YOU ARE SO GROUNDED FOR ANOTHER WEEK!' Kushina shouted at her son. After seeing that his teacher wasn't on the ground, Konohamaru changed back.

"Hey he isn't defeated." He said disappointingly.

"What … What kind of technique is that?" His teacher said as his face got all red. "Such tasteless techniques would never work on me. I am far above it." He grabbed Konohamaru's scarf and started to pull.

'Well Naruto, what are you going to do about this?' Minato said first looking at his son, then at the pair playing tug of war.

"What why me?"

'He did call you boss. And, a boss is suppose to take care of the people who work for them.' Minato pointed out.

"Naruto has turned you into a delqute. I will put you on the fast track of becoming a Hokage." Konohamaru's teacher. Naruto, who finally had see and heard enough, made some shadow clones and had them all use the sexy jutsu, and jump on him. Within seconds he was out cold from blood loss.

"Ah man. I couldn't even beat that snobby trainer of mine. I want to be Hokage so bad, but I keep messing up. Why can't I do it?" Konohamaru said after seeing Naruto defeat his trainer.

"You really think it's that easy? To be Hokage you have to be the greatest of all shinobi of all the villge. You have to prove your self, so people will believe in you. Look at me, I was ignored, pushed away, and treated like I have the pleaqe or something. And, after all that, I found one person who believe in me. To find that one person, I had to get knocked down a lot. So you better make sure that you're ready."

"For what?"

"For a lot of blood, sweat, and tears while you're learning to become a shinobi. And by the way, there is no easy way to become the Hokage. That's what my father was trying to say earlier." Naruto said as he turned his back to Konohamaru.

"Ha, who do you think you are anyways? That's it I'm not learning from you anymore. For now on, we're rivles."

"I can't teach you anyways. Tomorrow I start my advance shinobi studies. But I accepted your challenge, and some day we will fight for the title of Hokage. So lets both look forward to that day." And with that Naruto left.

'By the way Naruto,' Kushina said with a sweet voice, ' You're grounded for eight weeks this time.'

'Worth it.'
