ON WITH THE STORY
LAST TIME ON NARUTO: IDOL'S FOOTSTEPS.
HE WAS BLEEDING DUE TO THE TRIPPING OF HIM OVER THE SHURIKEN. HE WAS RUNNING AND RUNNING. HE THEN STUMBLED UPON SOMETHING. SOMETHING THAT WOULD CHANGE HIS LIFE FOREVER. SOMETHING THAT HE DIDN'T KNEW CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THAT SOMETHING WAS...
NOW...
There was silence everywhere. Even the very small noise made by chirping of birds could be heard very clearly. Sun was almost settling down. Today was his second day of academy that he chose to BUNK. He evaded the Chunnin sensei that was Iruka Umino. He ran away from other group of jounin. He knew Iruka-Sensei would catch him again because Iruka has also caught him yesterday in an hour, which was a great feat seeing his history of pranks.
Now back to the thing that he stumbled upon. His heart was beating. His mind told him to ran away from it and go to do his regular chores. But his gut, his gut was telling him to check what was is it.
His heart was again beating repeatedly. The atmosphere was so silent that he could hear his heart beating. The something that he stumbled upon was a... a scroll? He has read yesterday in the academy that to open the scroll one has to channel chakra throughout it. (1)
As soon as he channel chakra through it, the scroll pop open and in it was a picture of Yondaime with a Red-Haired girl who was pregnant. Yup definetly pregnant. Minato and Kushina Namikaze, he read on the photo.
'Must be Yondaime and his wife.' Thought Naruto.
'But I don't know recall him having any wife.' Again thought Naruto.
He assumed that she was six months pregnant by the look of it. And the photo dated back to the July.
'She was to give birth in almost October. The same month when I was born. It would be very cool to play with the son of the fourth as both of us would be in the same class and of same age. But jiji told me that Fourth was the last of Namikaze. That means during the kyuubi attack, they must've died.' Thought Naruto with a heavy heart.
He quickly tucked the photo in his pocket and made a mental note to ask his jiji (sandaime) about it. The second thing he saw was a Kunai. It was very weird looking. Three-pronged with a complex writing on it. He took it and kept it close to him because it was a memento from the person he respected the most after his jiji(2). He wanted to become a Hokage and just be like the fourth. Naruto respected the fourth because the fourth saved the village from kyuubi by killing it. Though how will he react when he will know that the Hokage didn't kill the Biju but simply sealed it inside a boy. the boy was none other than naruto himself. He would be broken. But Sandaime hoped that he should tell Naruto about his burden before any Kyuubi - hater or any other civilian who view him as a demon tell him. But the old man thought he would let Naruto know when he was older and more mature and till then, he would never know. Oh boy! How wrong was he. Though no Naruto-hater will tell him, but someone else entirely.
As soon as he kept the Kunai with him he ran ahead and ahead until there was a large building that came to his view. There was a complex writing on it. He didn't understood it. Then as soon as he touched the gate, there was glowing line and as soon as light went off, there was sound of CLICK the door unlocked. He thought to run away and do his regular chores and act like nothing happened here.
As soon as he was about to run, he heard the footsteps of the shinobi that were catching him. Jounins and chunnins were shouting.
"Catch the demon" One chunnin said
"Lets make him pay for disrespecting our previous Hokage."
"Remember we cannot kill him. The demon boy has close attachment to sandaime-sama. He also has brainwashed him. I think we should just scare that demon brat and leave him here. But remember there are anbu who take care of the 'demon boy'. So we should do this without using our chakra." Said one demon hater chunnin while almost spatting the word 'demon boy'.
Naruto, overhearing them, thought it was best to get into the house and return when the MOB will get away. As soon as he got into the house, he slammed the gate shut.
Then he went inside the house.
OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. WITH THE CHUNNINS AND JOUNINS.
"This is the end of the alley. I wonder where that troublemaker is"Said a chunnin out loud
"Huh! He probably ran away with his demon powers. We should not mistake this child as any ordinary child. He is Kyuubi. Remember what it can do." Said another.
"Yes, lets run away before any one come here." Said one.
"What we will tell the hokage?"
"We will tell him that the Uzumaki Boy ran away and we couldn't find him anywhere."
"Then we should just go and-" The chunnin stopped in midway after noticing the trail of blood going to the fourth hokage's house. "hey, isn't that the fourth Hokage's house where the trail of blood is." Said the chunin again.
"Yes! The brat must've been scared of us and ran into that house. No one dare enter into the house because everyone knows that the house is filled with seals and will kill anyone who would try to force entry. That brat will be killed as soon as he will step in this house." Replied the other chunin.
"the fourth Hokage is keeping us safe even in his death." Said the one and only Jounin present their.
"We should go before anyone spots us here. We will also not tell him about how the brat went into the fourth's house as the saindaime will try to rescue him"
"Okay. Let's go."
Then the ninjas went to Hokage Tower to tell the sandaime that they could not find him and how he went away with his pranks. As soon as they entered, they saw how saindaime was cursing the paperwork and they all sweat-dropped at it.
After the Ninjas ran away, Naruto thought to get out of this place and run away before any one tries to find him here. He wasn't able to hear the ninjas outside and he would have heard them, he would have been very scared but there was nothing to fear as only the person with blood relation to the Fourth could enter here (3).
He tried to find the switch of light. He had learnt in the academy that the ninjas who are having high chakra, probably Jounin level Ninja, can flare there chakra and they can use it to produce light but there is a downfall that the light is only extended to 2-3 meters around the person.
He actually overheard the conversation between a masked ninja who was reading an orange book with a blue mask covering is his face and he had a forehead protector on his left eye (Guess Who!) and the old man hokage. The old man Hokage was wearing his usual Hokage robes and hat with the kanji of fire shadow and three on it.
He overheard that he was having chakra on par with, if not greater than the Hokage and who should be his Jounin sensei after he passed the genin exam. Granted that the Genin exams were six monts away and IF he could pass. There was a big IF.
Well he excelled in almost everything but there was a great weakness of him. VERY GREAT. He could do all but two jutsu. Which was Kawrami (The Art Of Replacement) and Henge (The Art Of Transformation). There was also a third ninjutsu; which was Bunshin no justsu (Clone jutsu) that Naruto couldn't do.
The kawirami was a simple subsitution jutsu. You can subsitute yourself just before a jutsu hits you. The basic replacement is with a log. You can also replace yourself with another advance things. For example, other people but it take great amount of concentration (which naruto have), Jounin Level Chakra (which again Naruto had) and Low- Jounin level chakra control (5)(which Naruto didn't had). Like every other jutsu, it's downfall is that the person has to be quick and have a concentration
Next is henge Henge. It is a mere illusion which is used to transform yourself into desired person. You just have to imagine that person and focus your chakra on yourself. Again, The downfall is it is just an illusion. Any skilled sensor or genjutsu user can detect it. The other downfall is it just take a hit to dispel the henge as the concentration of the person performing the jutsu would just vanish.
Next and the last was Bunsin no jutsu. It creates several copies of the user. But just like Henge, it is illusion and it is hard to detect it. Again, like every other jutsu, it is having a downfall. The clones cannot attack any person or do any other desired work. One can just pass through them as they are not solid. This jutsu requires very less chakra. Which is a benefit as anyone could attempt it but Naruto, however, couldn't. This is because he was having very large chakra levels and he needed a good chakra control; almost par with Kakashi to do a simple bunshin no jutsu.
Well he flared his chakra to eliminate the darkness and created light. The light however was blue in color and Naruto could see what was ahead of him but only by 3 meters. He decided to flare his chakra even more.
'Uh! Dammit. Why couldn't i increase my chakra flare.' With that he pushed more chakra and the whole apartment was lighted with it. Naruto was panting and was sweating heavily because he just released Low-Kage level chakra and he just had Low-Chunin level left because he wasted the cakra and used more than than the amount of chakra necessary because of his poor chakra control.A skilled chakra sensor could also noticed that the light was fading, Slowly. According to his calculation the light will fade in an hour but it was more enough. His wounds were also healed that he got by tripping over the shuriken.
The house was as big as it was from outside. He started to explore it. There was dust everywhere. He approached a photo the same photo that he had in his pocket. The one of Minato Namikaze AND Kushina Namikaze. It was confirmed that it was the house of Yondaime.
Then he found a BINGO BOOK. A bingo book is a black colored book used by ninjas that contained information on targeted ninjas. Naruto has also learnt about this in his Academy. There were two pages in it. rest of them were torn from the book, Only two were left. It was dated before the Kyuubi attack. It means it was outdated. The first page read.

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise. he was surprised after all this and his respect for the fourth increased at how great hero he was.
Naruto Said "Wow! The fourth did many things to protect the village and he even gave his life for this village. Now that's it. My idol is decided. My idol will be Yondaime. I will be just like him and protect the village and the villagers and they will then acknowledge me. I , Naruto uzumaki will follow my Idol's Footsteps"
By saying this his eyes was full with determination. His showed the will of fire. It showed respect; for Yondaime and determination to protect the konohagakure No Sato
"I Naruto Uzumaki will surpass Yondaime one day."
And who knows, maybe he can surpass him after all.
He decided to explore more. He went inside and inside of the apartment. Then he went to the basement. There was a genjutsu on it and when he, earlier flashed his chakra, the Genjutsu disappeared. Then there was a hidden vault with a kanji for Special written on it. The vault was very big from outside. His fifty minutes were up. He touched the wall with his chakra coated hand, subconsciously.
He thought 'If this is a secret place then the Yondaime would have stored thousands of cool jutsus in it and no one would mind if I borrowed one. Beside the academy only teaches those not so cool jutsu'
He then opened the vault and was disappointed when there was only a scroll inside a large safe. He only had two minutes of light and he decided to go out of this house but he thought that he had come this far so he should open it but then it will be dark and he was afraid of it. He then ran forward to grab the scroll. It wasn't like other ordinary scroll. It was made up of very high quality papyrus. There was a kanji of emergency on it. He decided to let it go because he was not sure to open the scroll with the kanji of emergency. But before he could decide, the light went off.
'Shit, now what will I do. I cannot go upstairs. Maybe I should open the scroll. I could find something useful such as soldier pill to refill my chakra and then again use flare.' He thought.
As soon as he opened the scroll, there was a huge bright light. The light faded after 5 minutes and the scroll then got destroyed. He wanted to run, but there was a feeling that he should not. that he should just stand there. but, before he could run, there was something out, that something was...
I am updating all the chapters slowly. There was a huge change in this one. Please read it. I hope that now you are finding my writing somewhat bearable. If you still find any error, please inform me. If you have any questions, shoot. I have spent a great deal of amount in this story. Rate And review. I also think that there would be no pairings. It is still a little early though. If there is a pairing, it wont be Harem and it sure as hell wont be pink banshee no sakura. Sorry narusaku lovers.
EXPLANATION:
(1) Naruto is four years and there are pre-classes for children who want to take. Real shinobi classes will start from 8 years of age and last up to 12. Here, In pre-classes, only basic things are taught.
(2) He did not met the ichiraku's yet. Therefore, Sandaime is his only precious person.
(3) This is the reason why he was bleeding and some blood got to the seals. So, only blood relatives could enter.
IF YOU STILL FOUND ANY ERRORS, PLEASE DO NOT FLAME ME. I ONLY PROOF READ THE UPDATE ONCE. WITH THAT I TAKE YOUR LEAVE.
