CHAPTER 6

BECOMING A SANNIN

It's been a full 48 hours since Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke started their training to become Sannin, Naruto, the frog sage, Sakura, the slug sage, and Sasuke the snake sage. They all have a job to do, but the real question is, can they do it correctly? Naruto has been training intensely these past 48 hours; he's become stronger in sage jutsu and has been working on his father's teleportation jutsu for himself. Sakura has been in the Shikage's library studying Medical Ninjutsu and how Tsunade became a Sannin so she can copy her methods. Sasuke, is studying Orochimaru's style and techniques in his main hideout. At Mount Myoboku, Naruto is talking with the Chief Toad. "What? The Chief Slug, and the Chief Snake are on Mount Myoboku too?" Naruto asked, "Yes they are, but they are on a different part of Mount Myoboku, if you bring your friends here, they will have an easier time with their training." The Chief Toad replied. Naruto went off to go and get Sakura and Sasuke, when he got back he went to see how things were going with the reconstruction of the village. While he was, Kakashi made another appearance in front of Naruto. This time, Naruto didn't have the patience to deal with Kakashi, so he immediately went into Sage Mode. "Kakashi, don't interfere with my plans, mark my words, I will return to the hidden leaf as a legendary sannin." Naruto said with impatience, "Naruto, you've got the wrong idea here, I'm here to make sure that you do get back to the village, otherwise, I have to kill you." Kakashi said, "Kakashi sensei, you can't kill me, remember what happened the first time? The next time will be even worse." Naruto said to Kakashi, "Leave me alone, I have work to do" Naruto left Kakashi there outside of the Shikage's mansion. He walked into the Shikage's library with haste. "Sakura!" Naruto yelled, "Change of plans, me, you and Sasuke are going to Mount Myoboku, the Chief Slug and Chief Snake are there, so the training will be easier." Naruto said "Come on Sakura, we don't have a lot of time to spare before the Hidden Leaf ends up declaring war on us, Kakashi just tried to stop me again." Naruto added, "Okay, okay just let me finish this- Naruto grabbed her by the arm and walked her out of the Shikage's library. "You don't need to finish that, when it'll only take 10 hours to become a sage at Mount Myoboku, considering all the research and reading you've done it should take about 10 hours." Naruto said, "Alright, now we need to get Sasuke right?" Sakura asked, "No, I sent Suigetsu to go and get him and to use a scroll I gave him to get him there, he'll know what to do." Naruto replied. "Okay then, let's go." Sakura said, Naruto waved a hand sign and they poofed to Mount Myoboku on the Toad side. "Sakura, head North of here, that's the Slug side, of Mount Myoboku, when Sasuke get's here he'll be going West." Naruto told her, "Okay, I'll see you later then." Sakura said as she began running towards the Slug side of Mount Myoboku. "Now all there leaves is Sasuke" Naruto said to himself. "Where could he be? He should be here by now." He added. Sasuke then appears from behind a tree and walks up to Naruto. "Sorry I'm late" Naruto laughs "Usually I'm the one who's late Sasuke." Naruto said, "Oh, shut up already and tell me where I need to go" Sasuke said with arrogance. Naruto pointed to the West, Sasuke headed off full speed towards the Snake side of Mount Myoboku. Then Naruto went back to the Chief Toad to resume his training, as he did continue his training he had became a ton stronger than he was before, as did Sakura and Sasuke, The Chief Slug had thought about how Sakura resembled Tsunade and the Chief Snake resembled Orochimaru, since they all trained under them once before. Naruto was the first one to finish his training and return back to the hidden rain village, Suigetsu, Hinata, Jugo, Shikamaru, Choji, and Lee were all waiting for him to return, Naruto told them all to get rid of their coats and he gave them all new head bands. "We are returning to the Hidden Leaf village." Everyone had a grin on their face with the exception of Suigetsu and Jugo. "What about us?" Suigetsu asked, "You two will stay here, and wait for Sasuke, he will be back sooner than you know" Naruto replied as he threw off his coat, he was now wearing a red and black robe that said Sannin on the back of it with a scroll behind him. "We're leaving now." He told them as they all left through the hole through the Shikage's mansion that was never repaired. When they reached the Leaf Village Kakashi was standing outside. "So you kept your promise" Kakashi told Naruto as he landed in front of him as Naruto gave him a thumb up. "O-Oh I almost forgot" Naruto reached from his pocket and pulled out Jiraya's sannin head band and put it on his head. "Kakashi, I am now a sannin, after 2 ½ days of training I have become a sannin just like Jiraya sensei wanted me to." He told Kakashi with excitement "Also Sakura and Sasuke are training to become Sannin too; they'll be back in no time at all." Naruto added with a grin on his face. "Oh really? So they've decided to take the path of their previous teachers?" Kakashi asked, "Yes, but I just hope Sasuke doesn't turn into another Orochimaru." Naruto replied, "Naruto, I need to talk to you alone for a minute." Kakashi said as everyone else went into the village. "What is it Kakashi sensei?" Naruto asked, with confusion "I am resigning as the 6th Hokage, you will be the 7th Hokage Naruto." Kakashi told him, Naruto's grin got even bigger into a full smile until he couldn't stretch out his mouth anymore. "Are you serious?! Really Kakashi Sensei?" Naruto asked with excitement, "Really, but being Hokage is a lot of responsibility Naruto, you can't be as reckless as you were before." Kakashi told him, "I know I know, come on let's go!" He said eagerly. After Naruto was named Hokage, Sakura returned, Naruto insisted on having a welcome back party for Sakura, and he planned the same for Sasuke, but the thing is…Sasuke never returned. Naruto waited, and waited and waited, as days went by weeks, months, but when almost a year went by, Sasuke returned to the village. Naruto immediately asked him what took him so long to return, Sasuke said that he also studied Orochimaru's past and everything there was to it, even when he was a kid because he wanted to know everything there was to know about the person he once killed. Naruto didn't really understand his ambition but he nodded and welcomed Sasuke back to the Hidden Leaf Village, although from the distance, Sakura was watching. "Sasuke doesn't seem the same; something had to have happened to him." She thought to herself. "Sasuke was studying Orochimaru's jutsu, and that means Orochimaru's cells and blood have to be involved if it has to do with…Naruto!" Sakura screamed, get away from Sasuke! Something is wrong with him! She yelled as Sasuke looked astonished. Naruto didn't move away from Sasuke, so Sakura pummeled him instead leaving Naruto speechless at the power Sakura's obtained. "W-What is she doing?" He asked himself.
