I do not own naruto anime, manga or other released formats.

A few thing to clarify and to avoid any unpleasant feelings. The reason I have Naruto learned Shadow Clones so early was to jump start his training. I always felt that he was not given a fair chance to show his true potential in either manga, games, or even anime. With his being the top of the class no one in the clan would argue that he doesn't meet the standards of someone being suitor to the Clan Head's only daughter.

Secondly it would be the only way for him to train non-stop and still be able to attend the academy. The academy would that hours away from his training, so he attend the academy and leaves a few clones to train back home.

I would have expected, if not understood that someone would send me a flame or two about making Gato, the original villain, but every one is upset that I switched the roles between Orochimaru and Tsunade. In this story Orochimaru doesn't go insane because he will eventually be Hokage. Which is one of the reasons of his insanity. Tsunade in the original version is so obsessed with maintaining her youth that she is under a permanent jutsu just to look young. I also figured that she would want revenge on the village that would eventually take Dan and her brother from her. But lastly Tsunade was convinced by Naruto originally to become Hokage. She hates the job, She even went as far as to say that only fools want it. This was I figure I was making at least 2 of senin happy.

But trust me that Jiriaya will be the same pervert, oh excuse me super pervert that we all know. Naruto will give him a few broken bones when and if he peeks at Mikoto, or anyone he considers precious. But he will be the same pervert. I originally was thinking him liking his own gender, but I kind of saw the vision of thousands of flames flooding my e-mail, and thought that I really should not upset my readers that much.

Now lastly I am doing this to provide with an entertaining story, that will provide every one with a little fun, food for thought, and a few laughs. On story wise I always believed the Mikoto and Naruto deserve a little happiness and I hope that you would feel the same.

Now that I spent a ton of words on this lets get back into the tale of Naruto Uchiha, and his romantic adventures with the beautiful Uchiha heiress, and all the problems, pain and fighting that comes with life as a ninja.

As Team Hakate left with their client something did not feel quite right about the job. Gato had spent a good deal telling them about his goals to open more trade routes between the land of wave and the near by lands. He did not believe that he should put as he said all his eggs in one basket.

But as they walked Naruto saw something that upset him. There was an eyesore on his path. He told Sakumo and his teammates to stop, "We haven't had rain in weeks in this part of fire country. I mean look at the grass and you would see that. But we are supposed to believe that there is a puddle in the middle of the road? I mean come on how obvious can you be!"

The demon brothers did not like the sound of this one bit. "Well Naruto i think if someone is dumb enough to make such a pathetic attempt, they must not be that strong." The Inuzuka could smell their sweat already a few feet away. Just as he finished a clone of Mikoto appeared right next to the puddle. "Lightning Release: Paralysis Strike Jutsu." The lighting hit the puddle and where the was a puddle two unconscious ninja appeared. It was a lucky thing that they had been connected by a chain through their gauntlets.

Naruto looked at Gato with an almost feral grin,"So Gato, I think we should hear the truth while my clones tie up our expected guest. Because I can easily see that they wanted you. We have no enemies in Kiri after all. Especially those that are now missing nin."

Gato could not keep his lie any longer. It was very well know that you can not lie to an Uchiha with his doujutsu active. "Very well, I requested a lower rank mission because of my low cash flow at the moment. My country of Wave has always depended on trade by boat, but in a bad storm many of the boats were damaged. I wanted to improve the trade routes and decided to form a partnership with a builder named Tazuna. I figured he would want the bridge to prevent others losing a family member because of having to go by boat in such a bad storm again. His son-in law died in the storm i mentioned after all. He left a young woman named Tsunami, and a bright young son Inari.

But it turns out Tazuna wants to use all my money to enrich himself, and take credit for the entire bridge project. He might believe that by doing this he would be made ruler of wave eventually. The money I do not need to maintain my trade business I have invested in helping the people and the bridge project. So I figured if I was attacked, maybe I could get enough evidence to expose Tazuna and finally be able to complete the bridge. It would improve the lives of the entire country. I am sorry for lying to you, but please I beg you. Not for me but the innocent people they need your help. I will pay the right rank fee once trade situation improves I swear it!"

Sakumo was listening to him, and figured that their situation must be desperate for them to do that. Naruto and Mikoto were looking at him with loathing in their eyes. To them the lie was a disrespectful act. The Inuzuka being the dumb gun-ho knucklehead that he was looked at it as a potential good fight.

"So Team I want you to think on whether we continue or go back home for another team. This Job just jumped from C rank to A. While you figure it out Naruto leave a clone with the team, You come with me and we will question our little friends back there."

Naruto and Sakumo walked towards the tied Demon Brothers. "Very well, lets make it easy, Why did you attack our group. I know you wanted to kill our client, who hired you, what are your orders, and who else should we expect?" The demon brothers simply told the two to go to hell they where not going to say a thing.

Sakumo gave a look to Naruto that made it perfectly clear what he wanted him to do. "Oh, why don't you got to hell first. Here let me give a small taste. Tsukoyomi!" In matter of seconds the brothers were spilling their guts about every thing under the sun. The even told things that they did not want to know, like the fact that one of the brothers still wet his bed till he was 10 years old.

Clone dispelled, and Sakumo and Naruto walked over to their team. "So what do you decide? go on or go back for another team?" Naruto walked over to Mikoto put an arm around her in a reassuring way. "Looks like our team wants to help this guy out, something about if we help trade would improve for our village, wanting a good fight, and such things."

"Well I hope that we can deal with Zabuza, because that is what those two told us was in charge of the team that wants Gato dead." Every single person wondered for how long did Tazuna steal money from the project to be able to higher someone of his caliber?
