Naruto wondered the great village of konohagakure no sato contemplating on his next victim; he didn't know who gave him the idea of pranking but it just came naturally to him just like breathing another mystery for the ages; he couldn't decide between the shop keeper who sold him rotten milk or the bakery store owner who gave him contaminated bread with laxatives, and not the weak kind either his rectum was unbelievably sore at one point he convinced himself he was going to die a soon as food touched his mouth it would start the bowls moving. With his mind made up naruto walked to the bakery, 'time for some pay back' naruto thought , the site bakery is in one of the busiest sections of the market district, stalls and stands lined the road with people shuffling along and haggling with the merchants for a decent price, which is like finding a virgin in a whorehouse, merchants don't have seals for people they only have one goal in mind to get as much money as possible from you, they would ask a price too high then allow the commoners would haggle and finally get to a price you think you wanted but actually it's the merchants price all along; it's amazing what you can learn by just observing. The jinchuuriki took the back streets to the bakery, twisting and turning through the dank alleyways like a seasoned pro eventually he reached his destination. He stood in the entrance to the lane that faced directly opposite the bakery, he just stood there observing and being observed. He stood there gathering data on the bakery; he observed the staff rotations as well as the amount of customers that go to the bakery. He found out that the bakery prepare their dough before they actually baked it. The sun was dropping below the horizon, he looked at his notes satisfied with the information on it he turned around and made his way towards the forest; most commonly known as the training grounds. The shadow followed him.
For any good prank to work you needed three things information a plan and a good course of action, which unfortunately naruto didn't have the later but none the less naruto walked to the training ground to look at his pranking supply. The shadow stalking him. Walking to the forest line he checked behind him to make sure he wasn't followed, he had this strangest feeling someone was watching him no-one was there he shrugged his shoulders and moved into the foliage that was more than half his height, he walked with a purpose towards a none descript tree for any ordinary viewer, for naruto it was the tree that had the nodule on it, the tree that had his supply. He walked towards the tree he knelt at the base of the tree and started to dig until he reached his bag of goodies, empting the items on the ground naruto looked at them thinking. Looking at the laxative a plan started to form. He took the entire remaining liquid laxatives he put all the other items in then bag before he closed it put it back into the hole and closed the hole up, another good tip for being a great prankster is to have many safe stashing areas naruto had about another twenty of these hidden all over the village, but the most useful advice naruto could give a novice prankster is find good hiding places and work out an escape route if you get caught. He pocketed the four vials of doom. Walking back to the market district the street was eerie silent compared to this morning, he reached the locked bakery door. Pulling out a small rectangular casing he unzipped it revealing the contents lock picking tools, he could still clearly remember the day sarutobi gave him this as a gift and showed him how to use it. He got the door open and walked purposefully into the store. It took some time for him to get the tub containing the dough, wasting no time naruto pooped the lid from the plastic container and emptied the contents of the vials into it, closing the container he felt a card, on it was a laughing red fox, quickly he made his way out making sure to lock the door behind him. He got home in record time tired with the days worked he went to bed with his cloths still on and a content smile on his face. The shadow stayed for a while for looking through the window at the blond boy, which resembled his father so closely. The shadow left he had a report to make. 'and new just the bakery to get bread for his dear friends'

Danzo sat in his office, the only things it contained was an aged mahogany desk and one chair for him to still on. on the desk laid plans. Danzo sat there staring at them and occasionally jotting down something, for danzo it was like any other mission. It was his plan for the future. But then again people do say that when a man makes plans God just laughs.

sarutobi distracted from his paper work by a shunshin in his office, waiting for the smoke to clear he addressed his saviour.
"Ah Kakashi-kun what brings you here?"
"hokage-sama I came to give my report on my mission body-guarding naruto."
"And how was it, how is he"
"He is an unusual boy for his age; he is much more advanced in certain aspects of life than a normal child. Today he was staking out a bakery for one of his pranks, it was almost as if he was gathering intel for an assassination or something along that lines. I found another one of his stashes, he put laxative in the bakery dough, first he pick the lock on the door, he is at home at the moment sleeping."
" Thank you kakashi, are you ready for your next assassination mission?"
"hai hokage-sama"
"that will be all."
Kakashi tilted his head towards the hokage before shunshining away. Hiruzen contemplated on what he heard about naruto, he could already see the potential in the child. 'you need to find a replacement' jiraiya's words suddenly popped into his head. 'I wonder' sarutobi murmured to himself before going back to his paper work.
The most infectious thing in this world as not a virus or bacteria it's an idea and sarutobi just had one, one of the most brilliant ideas that he has had in a long time. He just needed one thing for him to start. the future of konohagakure no sato is looking bright some would even say golden.

The next day naruto literally burst out of bed, today was the day. He woke a full ten minutes before the alarm actually went off. The jinchuuriki quickly got ready and raced out of his door almost forgetting to lock it; he didn't know way but his jiji always stressed that he locked his door before leaving or at least closed it he promised he would one thing uzumaki naruto would always do is keep a promise or die trying. He raced through the streets, shops where still opening. He came to a square building that had a sign stating Academy in huge letters just in front of it was area for kids to play or train in the corner there stood a tree with a swing attached to it, the academy wasn't open yet, naruto walked to the tree and sat in the shade, he was brimming with excitement he was finally going to learn how to be a ninja. Soon parents started bringing their children, hugging and their child and waving goodbye to them sending them off into the world with a kiss. When naruto saw this the ache in his heart grew, he wanted to know the warmth of a mother and the love of a father. As th kids filed into the playground groups started to form no doubt they knew each other before. Naruto smelt her before he saw her, Hinata was here, just as he looked towards the entrance Hinata walked in with a guy that looked like her which could have been her brother. Shortly following Hinata two more people walked in they looked like brothers the taller one looked directly at naruto, the jinchuuriki couldn't feel anything from him usually when people stare its either with hate or angry, but from him nothing. The taller boy turned to his brother and whispered something into his hears. Hinata walked over to him
"hello naruto-kun how arrrrrrre you."Hinata said with a slight stammer shyly. "do you want to come inside its nearly time."
"Oookay let's go." Naruto was surprised that the girl actually spoke with him, he figured after the last time they met.
Naruto and Hinata walked together to the class, walking through the corridors trying to find their particular class and making ideal chit-chat between the two of them, you know the usual what did you do yesterday or last summer depending. They didn't notice the figure following them. Eventually they found there class 7c both hinata and naruto walked towards the back of the class and took a seat. The one following them walked in looked at them once and took a seat on the other side of the class room towards the middle. More children filed into the room, finally an adult walked in with some books and papers. He placed them on the front desk. He picked up the white chalked and worked over to the board to write his name in capital letters 'SHOU' that's my name and you may call me shou-sensai
And welcome to your first steps in becoming a shinobi of the leaf.
Just by looking at him naruto could already see he was part of the hate-naruto party 'It's going to be a long 8 years'.
