Naruto: I'm a Gamer, So what?
Chapter 3, The Gamers Awakening.
Naruto has had some weird experiences, but the aspect of being in a floating state of Consciousness… "Nope… absolutely not! I Don't see or feel my body, whenever I turn my body it feels like I'm looking in the same direction." the boy yelled, freaking out. Let's just say He's never gonna forget this body-less experience "I would like to say… Today sucks! Argh… where the hell am I now!?" whined the blond knowing no one would hear him rage a bit…
"Calm down kit."a deep masculine voice reverberated throughout the void, but yet it sounded kind.
"Woah, holy shit! Where the fuck…?" Naruto squeaked out, not trying to put up airs of false bravado.
"Calm down kit." The voice spoke again, chuckling a bit then continued. "Your body just went into shock, and your mind wasn't far behind, so take some deep breaths, I'll explain what happened" the voice said trying to sooth the young boy, as it became more soft but still masculine. Naruto didn't know what to do in this situation, his current thoughts were going a mile a minute until the voice spoke again. "That golden object you found connected to you on a Spiritual level, which I find very interesting." The voice mentioned trying to get the boy to think of something else.
Naruto was still freaked out by the body-less voice, until a wave of calming Sensation flowed over his entire being, helping him think calmly, gaining his courage, he replied. "Umm not to be rude…umm voice-San could you tell me who you are as well as where I'm at…this feeling of not having a body is kinda freaking me out?"
"Hahaha" the deep voice roared in laughter causing the blond to feel irritation as the voice kept laughing. After a few moments the laughter died down into chuckles. "I-I'm sorry kit. Phew. I-I never would have thought to meet a polite Uzumaki before, ha, well might as well get introductions done no?
The young blonde gave what could be equated to a mental nod, making the voice hum in affirmation. "You see, my name is Kurama the nine tailed fox, it's finally great to meet you, Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto was confused then understanding kicked in. "Wait. Wait. Yu-you are the kyuubi!" The whiskered cheeked blonde shuddered out in awe, at first the blond was confused then excitement overcame the confusion.
Kurama could feel the boy's confusion expecting fear to be the next, but he worried for not. The boy's confusion turned to excitement, making the Biju smile. "Yes, that I am. You seem more subdued than I expected considering we're conversing in your subconscious."
The boy blinked and blinked again. "I thought the subconscious would be the mindscape while having umm… a umm what's it called again?"
Kurama chuckled. "I think physical Representation is the term you're thinking of, young one."
The blond nodded furiously, excited he finally got to talk to his tenant. "Kurama-san, you said my body went into shock. Would you know what happened? All I remember is hearing someone calling out for help then pain." Naruto asked, hoping his new friend had answers.
"I'll be honest with ya kit. I don't know, you found some sort of golden seed that has some sort of intelligence to it, it also had some weird Parasitic growths covering it that tried to infect you, but worry not. I burned it all away with my chakra so you and the seed are fine, which is odd. My chakra is usually corrosive to everything around me and to my jinchuriki when I infuse my hate into my chakra." the fox explained just as curious.
Naruto was confused again, he was about to ask what Kurama ment until realization kicked in. He almost got infected with an unfamiliar disease, if it weren't for Kurama. "stupid, stupid. I almost got myself in another life-risking situation without thinking again." The blonde berated himself for his own hasty actions.
The fox chuckled, the boy was amusing to watch and listen to. He wasn't stupid, it was something out of his control. "calm down kit it wasn't your fault, I think it was actually mine. I was trying to link one of my abilities to you." Kurama stated, unsure himself, he found it odd that the seed was able to communicate through his emotion sensing ability.
"Ability?" The blond question.
"Yes, it's one of my abilities, it allows you to sense others' intent along with emotions. You've had Access to it for a while now, but it was watered down so it didn't overwhelm you. Yet when I was trying to give you full access to it…well think of it as a volume knob to those TV things you humans use." the fox tried to explain.
"Aww I get it." The blond's voice rang out. "the ability got turned on with the volume completely up."
Kurama gave what could be equated as a nod "Naruto, give me a minute your mind is being pulled to the seal so we can meet in the mindscape. Like I said before, your mind wasn't that far behind your body when you were affected by the shock. most of your mental connections were damaged, but oddly enough that seed has done something to you and as we speak it's healing you along with my chakra." Kurama became quite interested in the little object.
Naruto was about to speak before the darkness void he was floating in lit up, then he felt his mind being pulled somewhere. It wasn't a good experience, but he felt some sort of water moving against his body… "wait body?" Deciding to test his motor functions, willing his arms to move as a whole then his fingers, legs and toes following. Craning his head to the side then to the other, opening his eyes then closing them just as quickly because the dim light was still bright enough to blind him. "Argh, that was weird. I felt like I was pushed through a bottleneck."
"Sorry about that kit, your mind was almost broken down so i had to repair it." Naruto heard his new friend speak.
"Nah you're fine Kurama." Naruto waved him off. "If it weren't for you I'd probably be dead, either to that parasite or to my body shutting down." Finally opening his eyes feeling they've adapted to the brightness. Blue eyes casted their sight around his surroundings. "huh broiler room never thought my mindscape would look like this." turning his gaze around the room he noticed something odd. "Is that a golden tree?"
Snapping his massive head toward where his host was looking to see a golden sapling just chillin in the center of Naruto's side of the broiler room. Kurama was greatly surprised as well, there in front of them sat a golden sapling. It was pulsating with power, foreign to this world yet it wasn't malicious far from it. Naruto walked toward the young tree feeling drawn to it, when he was close enough the tree shined brighter. The blond felt a brush against his mind; it felt like a child happy to see their parent. Another feather like touch brushed his mind, he laid his hand upon the young sapling.
"Happy, happy"
A ghost of a smile touched his lips, he rubbed his palm along the young tree's bark. "Hey there little one, how'd you get here?" Naruto didn't expect it when it happened, memories not his own flashed through his head. A blond man slender yet frail held a small golden seed, he placed it in a fresh patch of soil and gently patted the soft soil over it. Another memorie flashed, the frail man was sick, in hopes of curing his sickness, he curled himself into a cocoon within a massive tree. With another sitting guard her body was sickly, with something plaguing her body, mind and soul eating her from the inside out, it's already taken her entire right arm with it being replaced with a golden prosthetic, the same could be said for her left leg up to her quarter thigh, her right was replaced up to her knee. He felt the feeling of said plague. It was disgusting, an uncomfortable feeling like someone trying to mix away water and oil, but what got him to flinch back were her eyes or the lack thereof, they're rotted.
"So that's one of those outer god's handy work huh, it's foreboding you almost caught that good thing I burned it out of your system before it could take root, I don't think I would have been able to burn it out with the seal still in place." Kurama stated flippantly.
Drawn from the foreign memories by Kurama's statement. "Outer gods?" the blond repeated, not knowing of such beings. "Haven't heard of those before, are they evil or something because i'm not liking the one that's hurting the pretty tall lady."
The fox chuckled at his host. "Oh, has my host fallen prey to a demi-goddesses allure?" That comment caught the poor boy off guard as his face flares a furious scarlet.
"Th-th-that's not what i mean." the young boy cried out indignantly, his face still glowing red up to the roots of his golden tresses. "She's pretty okay! It's not like i'm going to meet her anytime soon plus i'm like shorter than she is hell! I'm shorter than I should be…" the blond trailed off his little tyrade, seeing his new friends smirk.
Kurama was trying not to laugh, but by his fathers name tried and failed. The blond's reactions to such minor things was Comedic, but what made it so much more hilarious was the purity and innocence his host radiated. It made mature conversations even more fun to have, because he gets to tease him relentlessly. "I'm guessing you noticed." he stated a shit eating grin stretching across his volpine snout.
The blond had a baffled expression while he examined his new body. He was definitely taller but didn't know by how much, his eyes seemed to be normal in color, his hair was slightly different. Turning his excited gaze to the fox. "What happened to my body? I'm taller now!" The boy's excitement was halted when he felt a pulse from the little sapling; it felt like it was warning him of something. Then it popped up the same little blue screen that's been bothering him for the past two days.
"Error!" "Error!" "Error!"
When the third "Error!" notification came and went. the world lurched to a stop, their surroundings started fading of color, to various amounts of gray shades taking their place.
"The gamer has entered a dungeon without the following requirement."
"The completion of the tutorial."
"Level requirement has yet to be met, level required 20."
"Due to gamers lacking skill in genjutsu as well as chakra control, he had been rightfully cautious to use the gamer system."
"You the gamer has entered a dungeon that is higher level than the gamer's current level. The case being the gamer Uzumaki Naruto has made progress without interacting with the gamer system, so for convenience the system has made it where the dungeon is in temporal freeze so the gamer can go through the tutorial process uninhibited."
Before the blond could speak his new friend spoke his thoughts on the matter. "I say go for it kit this is a power that my father told me about once long ago, tell me kit don't you want to be the strongest shinobi." the kitsune questioned.
"Yeah, of course I'll be the best shinobi…" the blond stated then trailed off. "But wouldn't it be cheating to have this type of power?
The fox sighed. "No, it wouldn't. If they consider your new ability cheating, then everyone that's born with a bloodline is cheating." Kurama looked at the boy then picked him up with one of his tails lifting him to eye level. "Hey kit look at it this way, you're a shinobi, you kill, cheat and steal from those whom threaten your precious people so don't feel down."
Naruto's eyes sparkled. "Thank you Kurama-nii!" the blond pounced on Kurama's snout hugging the gigantic fox.
Kurama was taken aback at the blond's words and actions, he enjoyed it but his pride as a big powerful biju took hold. "Oi oi oi get off you little shit!" All the blond could do was apply chakra to his body and stick to Kurama's snout, laughing his heart out, while the fox was shaking his head back and forth half heartedly trying to shake the boy off.
"Since the gamer has made progress without interacting with the gamer system, the system will consolidate XP and skill XP."
Hearing the system speak both blond and fox started to pay attention to the floating blue square not understanding what it ment about XP and Skill XP but continued to listen.
"Tutorial start, the gamer system is an ability that is given to those that are blessed by the goddess Gaia and gives the gamer the potential to fight gods, monsters and demons alike. The first thing the gamer needs to know is the status screen, will the gamer open the status screen?"
The blond was confused but followed the directions of the blue box. "Status" Naruto said not knowing what will happen, but to his surprise another blue box appeared.
"Everything on this screen is very important to the gamers growth in abilities and is basically information about your person."
"Name: Uzumaki Naruto"
"Class: The Gamer"
"Level: 7"
"Next Level: 20.37% The next level indicator is set to show the gamer how close they are to leveling up again, as you see above the next level indicator is set to a percentage format from 00.00% to 100.00%"
"That's intriguing. When my father told me about this ability, I didn't expect this to be a lot more exciting than just training" the giant fox said aloud his nine tails swaying behind him a little faster than normal and if anyone asked him about it he might drop a Biju Dama on them.
"Title: Genin of Konohagakure no Sato (15% XP to level 15) The Title stat isn't just a normal title, depending on the title you have equipped it offers either XP boosts, money multiplier, drop boosts and many others. For more information go to the title tab."
"Age: 13"
"HP: 1050/1050 The HP stat stands for Health points that scales off of the VIT stat, it's pretty explanatory, once your HP hits 0 you die."
"CP: 1850/1850 The CP stat stands for chakra points that scales off of the VIT and INT stats."
"VIT: 7 (-5, 5) The VIT (vitality) stat is one of the two stats that applies to your health pool for every point in VIT you get 50 points added to your overall max HP and Max CP."
"STR: 10 (-5) The STR (strength) is the raw physical strength of your body. This determines how much weight you can carry, as well as the Base Damage you deal out in combat."

"DEX: 10 (-5) The DEX (Dexterity) represents how nimble and agile you are, determining your accuracy as well as attack speed and Attack evasion."
"INT: 20 (10) The INT (intelligence) Represents your ability to learn and reason, especially in problem solving. It is one of two stats that determines how much CP you have, as well as how effective your offensive and defensive skills are. Determines your memorisation ability."
"WIS: 7 The WIS (wisdom) is your common sense, basically. It determines your CP Regeneration rate, your ability to read other people's emotions and body language, as well as resistance against mental attack, pain and torture. Determines your problem-solving ability."
"LUK: ?"
"Special status: Jinchuriki (passive) (100 HP, 100 CP per Level) and (5 VIT, 10 STA, 25% XP to skills) Prankster King (Passive) (-20% reputation gains, 10% to [traps] skill, 10% XP to [Stealth] skill) ? (Passive) (25% to nature Manipulation)"
"Perks: Divine Blessing"
"Nidaime Rikudō Sennin (Locked)"
"Eye of a Brother"
"Genius"
"Flaws: Pariah"
"Eyesore"
"Socially Inept"
"Malnourished"
"Uzumaki Naruto is a two time failure of Konohagakure no Sato shinobi Academy. He was ostracized by his own village for something out of his Control, resulting in him having a very poor understanding of things around himself."
Once the system stopped reading through his stat page the blond was indignant. "Oi I resent the first and last statement dattebayo!"
"Interesting, even though I fixed your body, it's still affected by malnourished flaws. It looks like you're gonna need to slow down on the ramen kit." The kitsune stated, grinning evilly at the blond while said blond paled.
"NO! Not my ramen." the boy cried as Kurama laughed.
The gamer has gone through the tutorial the temporal freeze will deactivate.
Hearing the system, the blond started to freak out. "Oi Oi Oi im not ready yet" seeing his surroundings start to go back to normal.
"Hey kit it's time to go back to the outside world, you have about 4 chakra mutations coming our way and fast get ready." the fox notified the boy before he could say anything he was kicked out of his mindscape.
Opening his eyes the blond heard and saw his blood lust detection going nuts, before he could do anything he was hit and hit hard. Feeling his midsection slam into a tree coughing up spitle and trying to get oxygen back into his lungs that was forcibly evicted from said lungs. Looking up he found the assailant that bitch slapped him across the clearing .
"What the hell is that!" the blond exclaimed as stumbled to his feet dazed.
"Surprise attack! You have taken 20 damage. You have been affected by the dazed Debuff for 4 seconds."
Observe skill Activated: Acidic titan bowa, level 18.
"Kit we need to get out of here you're not ready to fight something like that!" Kurama urged his container.
Before Naruto could respond, a blue box appeared in his view.
Quest notification: Snake Chase- Escape the surrounding area. Goal: reach the training ground entrance.
Naruto was freaked out. "Kurama-nii can you help me and be my sensor so I can focus on running."
"Yeah I got you covered kit."
"Thank you." The whiskered Cheeked blonde thanked the chakra construct while watching the giant snake.
The snake was about 10 meters long and 2 meters thick, the color being mat black with three metallic green Stripes running down it's back, the head was interesting it had a fin like membrane that flared out around the top of the neck, but what made Naruto nervous was mouth filled with fangs that were dripping a green liquid that steamed and sizzled when it made contact with the ground.
"Well aren't you an ugly one, as much fun it would be to dance with you, but you're too toxic for me … so see ya." Naruto quipped before making a dash towards the exit.
he didn't make it far before heard. "kit duck!" Kurama called out.
Ducking the blond barely made it out of the way of glob of acid that splashed on to the tree in front of him, looking back at the snake he saw its massive tail swinging towards himself. No time to react to the fast attack Naruto formed a cross guard and Braced for contact.
Pain… absolute pain, when the tail hit Naruto he was flung fifty feet smashing through two trees. Weezing Naruto tried to stand but was only able to get up to his knees, vision Blurring the blond only had enough time to roll to the right while forming five Hand seals. Stopping on the snake seal just in time as the snake bit down, a crunch sounded out in the forest. The serpent's eyes widened in Surprise when it bit down on its prey to notice it was a large chunk of wood from the shattered trees with an orange jumpsuit top draped around it.
Behind a tree 15 feet away Naruto was breathing hard leaning his bare back onto the tree trunk with a sigh… Regaining his focus, his system Indicators came into view.
"Defense Break! you have taken 34 Damage from (Acidic titan bowa) tail attack. you have been dazed by (Acidic titan bowa) tail attack. Dazed debuff for 30 seconds."
"Tree hugger! you have taken 14 Damage from smashing Through a tree. Dazed debuff has increased by 8 seconds."
"Tree Hugger! you have taken 10 Damage from smashing Through a tree. Dazed debuff has increased by 7 seconds.
"Close Call! you have used the Kawarimi no Jutsu, damage Taken has been halved. You have taken 30 damage."
"Notice: you have 932 HP remaining."
Naruto sighed, "Kurama-nii where are the other 3 of the chakra mutations"
"They're a good distance from you, that snake went into a rage from what its chakra feels like. "the Kitsune replied.
"Okay I'll use kage Bunshin to distract the snake and I'll make a run for it… I'm not willing to take hits like that again." The blond stated.
"That's a good idea kit, just be careful two other chakra mutations are in line with your exit, they're weaker than the snake, but still stronger than you." the Fox warned.
"Thanks Kurama-Nii, ya know I'm gonna need to learn how to use your sensory ability soon."
"We'll figure that out later you need to get out of this forest, I'll flow some of my chakra through your body just about half of what you can withstand. Just know you're gonna feel exhausted afterwards Naruto so get to a safe place." Kurama informed the blond.
Naruto nodded, "good idea I'll use your chakra till we get to the gate then i'll need you to stop, so when I start getting close to the village so i don't have everyone freaking out." he agreed to the Foxes plan.
Standing up the blond felt a tingling sensation spread throughout his body. "Wow, your chakra feels odd."
"you'll get used to it in time…" the Fox paused then spoke up. "Kit hurry and create them kage bunshin, that snake had picked up on your scent."
Without hesitation the blond formed the cross hand seal and whispered "Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu…" in a puff of chakra smoke there were roughly 500 whiskered blonds.
Before Naruto could order his bunshin to run interference a clone shouted. "Boss, look out." not having time to turn to see what was about to hit him, he felt a pull.
Popping up 30 feet away Naruto noticed that one of his clones used Kawarimi with him, he looked up to see where he used to be as the Acidic titan bowa had been biting down on the clone that switched with him."Get out of here boss we got you covered." One clone shouted as the others roared in agreement.
"Thanks guys I'll get you back next time." The original Naruto called out before jumping off towards the exit, with the original gone the clones looked at the snake and smirked.
"Let's get him boy's!" One of the clones roared out his battle cry as the others followed with their own battle cries.
Within the Hokage tower the Hokage was in a battle of his own with the archenemy of every Kage, the dastardly and evil paperwork.
Sighing to himself, Hiruzen wondered how his Successor was able to defeat the evil paperwork. "Minato-kun how were you able to get the paperwork done and go galavant off with Kushina-chan at the same time." The old fire shadow wined.
The hidden ANBU in the room snickered at the Sandaime's plight already knowing the Yondaime's secret paperwork technique, because they used to be his personal ANBU detail.
Hearing his ANBU snickers, Hiruzen went into a temper tantrum. "You little shits know his damn secret to defeat this shit!" He roared, waying his hands around the piles of paper work. "I order you to tell me now!"
With that 5 ANBU operatives melted out of the shadows and stood at attention in front of the Hokage and said in unison. "We have been ordered by Yondaime-Sama not to share his secret with any Hokage that takes up the hat after him unless it's his son."
Hearing the response of his ANBU, Hiruzen's head dropped to his desk, him crying big crocodile tears. While his ANBU tried not to laugh out right hearing him grumble about smart ass blonds and not getting the respect from his ANBU.
Neko stepped forward after a moment. "Hokage-sama speaking of smart blonds." She tried to stifle her giggle. "Hehehe" but ultimately failed. "What is my mission concerning my Otōto?" She asked.
Hiruzen frowned at her giggle then smiled his grandfatherly smile. "Awe yes, Neko-Chan I'm gonna have you and Hayate-kun teach him kenjutsu since both of you were students of his mother. I'll have Naruto-Kun come in tomorrow so I can get him started on his training schedule with myself, Kakashi-kun and Jiraiya-San.
Before he could continue a knock could be heard coming from the door, waiving the ANBU off to go back to their positions he answered. "Come in" the door opened for him to see his two old teammates and his ex-best friend Danzō Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitocado. Seeing these three he frowned not wanting to deal with they're bullshit today. "How can I help you three today?" Hiruzen asked in a blank tone.
The first to speak was Homura. "Hiruzen i want to know why you killed the civilian side of the council?"q
"Yes, I would like to know as well? It was an uncalled for action. We needed them to keep the economic balance for the village." Koharu voiced her opinion with Danzo staying quiet.
The Hokage sighed. "Last time I checked, I'm the Hokage so what gives you two the right to barge into my office demanding I explain myself to you… two lowly advisers hmm?" Hiruzen spat out.
Homura and Koharu looked affronted by his response, but stayed quiet knowing if they argue more they'll lose their heads.
Eyeing the two he waited to see if they had something to say then spoke. "I got rid of them because they were an unnecessary part of the council, I've had ANBU doing background checks on them and what they found…" pausing to reach into his desk to grab a folder and place it onto the desk to show the three, the folder was possibly five inches thick and had the tab titled Civilian Council members. "If you want to take a look at the contents go ahead. I bet the three of you would like to see what the civilians have been sharing with other villages, my point being they are traitors to the village and had to be eliminated."
Homura and Koharu looked nervous while Danzo seemed impassive, but Hiruzen knew him better. He's planning something but doesn't know what. Turning his gaze to the other two he noted that they were fidgeting so slightly no one under the rank of elite Jonin would notice. "Well you see here there are few problems I have with the information I got from the background check…" Picking up the folder Hiruzen shuffled through the generous amount of pages, after a few moments he stopped pulling out two packets about 10 pages thick. "Homura, Koharu I was horrified when I read these. Do you know that you two have committed countless crimes that put our village at risk to the point that the Daimyo could have your entire family put to death?" questioned the sandaime watching they're reactions.
"Wh-wh-what do you mean Hokage-sama?" Homura stuttered, having a hard time keeping eye contact with the Shinobi no Kami. Koharu was no different, she was already shaking knowing that she was screwed. Glancing slightly at Danzo inwardly hoping he had some way to get them out of this, which didn't go unnoticed by Hiruzen.
"Well is says here that you Homura have been involved with the slave trade, your partner being Gato from the Gato shipping company…" He paused then looked at him innocently "does that ring a bell? Let's go further into detail… it says here that you found a small family of Uzumaki in Kusa, with the pretenses of helping them get to our village you tricked them and sold them to Kusagakure." Pausing Hiruzen, fell into his thoughts. "Mito-Sama… Kushina-chan… forgive me, I think I found the reason Uzushio fell." "But" He continued. "don't worry, I've sent a team of ANBU to the village to retrieve them and to wipe out the village and take everything they have. I've sent word to the Fire Daimyo and the Grass Daimyo Noting that one of my advisor sold full blooded Uzumaki to Kusagakure and let me tell you that they were not happy especially the Fire Daimyo not to mention the way you had the Uzumaki heir treated in the village he has asked to have you imprisoned till he gets here.
Seeing the man in front of him hang his head in defeat, the Hokage slid his gaze to Koharu watching her pitiful attempt to keep eye contact. "and you!" Hiruzen growled, staring down the old woman, seeing her flinch slightly. "You have made some very poor choices, but the one that has screwed you the most was lying to the Fire Daimyo not once not twice but countless times." Watching her for a reaction he sighed tiredly dropping the two bundles of papers on top of his desk, rubbing his four head with his left palm as he spoke. "You know Koharu lying to the Fire lord to get access to the Uzumaki accounts saying it was for Naruto-Kun then using about 15% of those said holding for your own interests…" He paused, liking the feeling of having control yet again, then He continued. "So by the order of the Fire Daimyo all your holding and assets are immediately transferred over to the Uzumaki clan for Reparations for stealing from said clan."
"You can't do that!" Koharu screeched, making the three men and five ANBU in the room to wince.
Hiruzen sighed. "No I can't do that." He paused again, making Koharu sigh in relief, then he continued. "But the Fire Daimyo can and has been done. On that note! Hi no Kuni's court accountant is joining the Fire Lord on his trip to our Village…" He paused again, watching the two squirm in their seats. "ANBU!" Hiruzen barked, within Seconds five ANBU Operatives appeared, two behind each Homura and Koharu, the fifth appearing next to the Hokage. "ANBU please escorted my Ex-advisors Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitocado to the most unsanitary cell we have and have two ANBU Squads on guard around the clock.
Watching his two most valuable pawns get dragged out of the room Danzo Tightened his grip on his Cane. "Those two idiots got themselves caught, no matter it's a small loss to my plans… Well played Hiruzen, well played." Shinobi no Yami thought to himself.
Hiruzen, seeing Danzo hadn't made a play to save the two, knew he had something planned, dreading what it might be, he continued. "Shimura-San, since the trash has been taken out, how can I help you today?" He queried innocently, gaining the war hawks attention.
"Aww, I've just come to see your reasoning for killing off the civilian council members, but as I can see." He waived his hand gesturing towards the folder of papers. "you've done what was needed for the good of the village."
"Indeed, I'm glad to be rid of those yammering fools, as well as the two failures I called advisor's…" Hiruzen paused, propping his arms on to his elbows while using his fingers to cradle his head, his eyes fading into a 100 yard stare. "our Sensei's would have been disappointed with us for our decisions over the years." Hiruzen thought disappointedly. "Well you can leave if there isn't anything else, i have some paperwork to finish up." The old Hokage stated without looking.
Danzo gripped his cane tighter, while his jaw clenched at the very clear dismissiveness his ex-best friend and rival had in his voice. "I'll take my leave then." he said coolly while making his way out of the office. "Just wait Hiruzen, this is a pyrrhic victory, now that my underlings have been ousted, I may need to move a bigger piece."
Watching the door of his office close behind his old rival, he groaned. "I'm getting tired of his plotting." The Hokage grumbled while he massaged his temples. "Well Jiraiya-san, how goes tapping Konoha's roots?" The Sandaime question as he watched a certain shadow twitch slightly.
"Careful Sensei, leaving that man out of your line of sight is dangerous." Jiraiya warned as he melted out of the surroundings, he frowned, knowing of the man's shady background dealing, and unsanctioned missions.
Hiruzen raised his hand and motioned to calm down. "I understand your concern, but I've let him play yami no shinobi in the dark for far too long." Hiruzen stated finely as he straightened his poser, facial expression following.
Jiraiya started to pale rapidly at his sensei's expression, he didn't know what was more terrifying his sensei's Shinobi no Kami face or the feeling that something is seriously wrong, so he decided to speak quickly then go to his hotel and ponder the bad feeling there. "I'm not even close to being done. I have about 37% of the village done so far… " Jiraiya trailed off for a moment with an expression of thought.
"Sensei, I have a question about the people in the slums and the red light district. They seem to be way too eager to help the kid compared to the rest of the village?" the white haired man asked, really interested.
Hiruzen smirked smugly for a blonde that was supposed to be in his chair. "Oh? Wouldn't you like to know Ero-Sensei."
Jiraiya hearing that phrase felt something break like glass shattering, he staggered while pressing a palm to his forehead. Using pressure to combat the miner headache. But what neither of them saw was a dimly glowing red circular seal with concentric rings that look like they rippled out from the dot in the middle centered on his forehead then dissolved and faded from the skin.
Hiruzen saw his student stagger back and called out. "Neko what just happened?"
Out of the shadows the Neko ANBU stood next to the Hokage. "It seems to be a genjutsu breaking and the foreign chakra is leaving his system but it feels familiar." she informed.
"Okay, hurry and get a sample to the hospital. I want it to be tested asap." Hiruzen ordered, making one of the other ANBU come from the shadows sealing scroll in hand. Turning back to his student he spoke concern in his voice. "Jiraiya-kun you okay." he asked.
Jiraiya sighed and looked up. "Yeah… I just have some issues to settle with Danzo, that damn bastard got me under a genjutsu using it to suppress my memories while rewriting them argh… I'll explain when I organize the memories, do you mind if I sit for a bit and meditate?" He asked
Hiruzen nodded. " Yes, that's fine, make yourself comfortable." he replied in his grandfatherly tone.
"Thanks Sensei, the reason that I'm asking is because majority of the people there are ninja trained and the civ's have the same mentality, that the kid is a hero to them? The white haired man asked while he was getting settled into a comfortable meditation position.
Hiruzen sighed. "i'll tell you, but this doesn't leave this room. Do you understand."
"Crystal"
Hearing the response, Hiruzen walked over to a filing cabinet in a far off corner of the room. "Okay I'll have to grab some documents."
Jiraiya hummed in understanding.
Reaching the filing cabinet Hiruzen opened the top filing drawer, pushing the folders to the side he saw what he was looking for 3 seal arrays on the side within the drawer. Touching one and adding chakra, after a moment kanji colored red and blue spread around the room interlocking on the other side.
Looking around the office Hiruzen Saw about 15 different seal arrays, 2 of them being the normal privacy seals that block sound from leaving the room as long as the door is shut. The other 13 being listening seals.
"Aww no root agent this time." Wined a feminine voice.
"Now, now Ryu, you've been here for a while now, why would that be? The Hokage question knowingly.
"Oh? Nothing really, I've just heard that you're giving that cute boy some trainers and figured i'd help out." She said innocently.
"hmm… a cute boy, aren't you old enough that you don't need your grandfather to give you advice." The old man remarked.
Ryu pouted behind her mask. "That's not what I meant jiji, plus not yet he's still a little short stack."
"And you're not?" Jiraiya added in.
"Oi Jiraiya-oji, I didn't ask for your opinion." Ryu shot back as the man chuckled from his sitting position.
Hiruzen Chuckled at the friendly banter. "I'll get you time with him, don't worry."
"Okay" she chirped happlie
"Now back to the subject at hand, the reason that would be because Minato-kun and i were in the mist of forming our own spy network and black ops for the village, so all the Shinobi trained you saw were supposed to look like shinobi drop outs and not to mention that majority of them figured out who Naruto-Kuns parents were, so they had to disappear…" The Hokage stated alluding to something.
"Awe I get it." The Gama-sennin nodded in understanding, then spoke out. "Everything makes sense now and with that information I can continue with my briefing. I'm not that far along, the majority of the slums and red light district people are helping me by planting my seals in the best places of interest…" he paused for dramatic effect and chuckled, feeling the true raw emotion of joy. "Haha, all because I mentioned the kid in passing!" Jiraiya started to get excited. "Did you know the kid would go out on hunts by himself outside the village and bring his portion of the beasts he has killed already dressed and handed it out to the residence for the slums and red light district."
Hiruzen let a small smile stretch on his face at seeing his student, Jirayia was truly awed by the kindness of his godson. "Yes I do." The Hokage said somewhat smugly.
Jiraiya's left eye started twitching. "May I ask why he was given a Beast Hunter License."
The Hokage's gaze softened into sadness. "I truly think that's something you need to get from him."
Jiraiya noticed the deepening sadness in his Sensei's eyes . "I see I'll just have to earn his trust to have him tell me, I was just curious to know his Hunter rank?" The white haired man questioned.
Hearing his students' questions, the Hokage smiled excitedly. "Oh that he's still a rank 4 for the moment, actually I was intending on having him take missions that coincide with beast hunt or Capture requests, but back to the point you were getting to?" Hiruzen questioned not getting what he was saying.
"Shit!" "Shit!" "Shit!"
"Run Kit! Run!"
"I'm Trying… I just didn't know a Anjanath would be in this forest." A blond thought to his inner fox.
Looking over his shoulder while hopping from branch to branch, to see a bipedal creature with pink colored hide, gray brown protofeathers running from the base of its neck to the tip of its tail, it's massive maw already lit a flame with predators intent charging after himself on the forest floor. Returning to what's head, Naruto didn't see his pursuer spit its fire breath and for his mistake the skin melting mucus covered his entire back.
In that moment there was an ear piercing scream that filled the forest, falling to the forest floor mid jump the blond didn't regain his bearings until he made contact with the ground. Vision swimming, the blond forced himself to roll to put out the fire, opening his eyes to see the Anjanath 45 feet away its jaw set a flame with its nose and wings fully extended getting ready to charge.
"Critical hit! You have taken 79 fire damage from (Anjanath) fire breath."
Hurriedly looking around for anything to Kawarimi with, after skimming through his surroundings he saw an old looking training log. "Thank Kami!" he exclaimed, forming the seals needed for his escape. When the Anjanath was ten feet away Naruto the blond puffed into chakra smoke leaving a log in his place. 20 feet away the blond teen was regaining his vision while padding around unseeing of his surroundings and paid for it with a shallow cut on his palm, the pain helping him center his vision.
Congratulations! You have found a common Katana."
"Hmm it speaks in my head now." the blond stated dumbly.
"That's not the point Naruto! You have a weapon now so use it!" Kurama roared in his container's mind, making said container wince.
"Okay, okay, use sharp pointy thing to stab the not so friendly pink dinosaur… yeah got it." Naruto grumbled loudly. Taking the Katana in hand, the blond had a feral grin stretched across his face. "Oh yeah, time for the predator to be the prey."
"By the Power of Emotion! you have activated a dormant skill."
"The skill beast hunter has activated, all attributes have been increased by 7 for 7 minutes."
"Skill Activated! Your title Kemono koroshi, has been activated by a prerequisite of Beast hunter skill. All attacks done to a beast type monster will increase by 15%."
Settling his grip on the sword, he formed the cross hand seal, his empty left hand forming the vertical seal while the right sword in hand formed the horizontal seal… in a poof of chakra smoke stood 30 kage bunshin.
Looking at his bunshin he noticed that he also copied the sword too. "Wow, neat I copied the sword too." shaking his head he spoke. "Alright guys we have an Anjanath to hunt, use hit and run tactics, 10 of you stay back and be ready to kawarimi with me, the other 20 with me!" the original ordered as the group of 10 hid into the foliage, the other 20 moved toward they're target. Fanning out around the raging beast.
Suddenly it stopped too abruptly, the beast's fan-like nose fully unfurled to the max, after sniffing the air around it, just for its head to snap toward his direction. Letting out a roar of challenge in primal rage, lumbering forward the massive beast broke out into head on charge. Naruto watched as it drew closer, when it was about 10 feet away the damn thing jumped into the air while baring its massive clawed toes that seemed eager to impale or crush him. Only for it to be slammed into by 3 sword wielding blonds, the first 2 made clean cuts, the third didn't make the cut, with their cuts made the three bunshin crouched down and launched themselves to nearby tree branches. The force of the collision knocked the Anjanath off its intended target and smashing into a group of trees splintering them, leaving it flailing on the ground.
"Combo Streak! you have done 63 damage to the Anjanath."
Naruto was amazed by his kage bunshins strength. "Wow, they're doing a good amount of damage even though they're bunshin." the blond said interested in the neat ability of being able to copy his weapon.
"Hey kit, remember when you activated something called the observe skill." questioned the fox.
"Umm… yeah? Why?" the boy replied, not really following what his friend was trying to say.
"Use it on the Anjanath and see what level it is." Kurama suggested.
"Okay got it." Naruto affirmed.
"Observe" the blonde called while looking intently at the beast.
"Skill Activated! Observe skill has been activated, (Anjanath, level 9)."
"Okay now use it on your sword too." the fox urged.
Interested, the blonde nodded "Observe".
"Skill Activated! Observe skill had been activated, (common Katana).
"Skill Level Up! your Observe skill has leveled up, from level 1 to level 2"
"Cool, my skill has leveled… So what does that mean?" Looking at the sword again Naruto activated the Observe again. "Observe."
"Skill Activated! (common Katana) this katana is of lower grade than most because of lack of care and maintenance, but take it to a weapon smith and she will shine again."
"That's neat, it gave me more information this time." Stated amazed whisker cheeked boy while looking back towards the beast that was flailing on the forest floor.
Seeing a clear opening 5 of his bunshin flew from the dense foliage toward the downed beast, their copied swords gleaming in the sparse sunlight that trickled through the forest's thick canopy of leafs'. Within seconds the 5 bunshin were in striking range, the first to connect plunged its replicated Katana into the Anjanath left eye driving about 5 inches in the beast's eye socket destroying its eye and doing Considerable amount of damage to its depth perception. The 2nd and 3rd bunshin made slashes to its under belly cutting deep enough into the Anjanath's thick hide to bleed. While the 4th and 5th bunshin were battered away by the beast's flailing limbs dis-spelling on contact.
"Critical Combo Strike! you have struck a critical hit on (Anjanath) total amount of damage dealt 112."
From a distance Naruto watched his bunshin fight the Anjanath with a pondering expression marring his face. "I wonder if I can see its Health pool?"
"Try using that observe skill again, see if it gives you more information." his inner fox suggested.
Nodding in affirmation, the blond boy focused his gaze on the Anjanath that finally got a grip of its own self control. He watched as the hulking beast tucked its massive hind legs and rolled on to its underbelly, using its tucked hind legs to push off the ground, stumbling quite a bit due to its loss of its left eye.
"Skill Activated! The skill observe has been activated (Juvenile Anjanath) level 9. This Anjanath is still relatively young but don't let that fool you, these creatures are relentless in battle especially when the young ones start to develop its incendiary glands, majority of the time they won't give up until either it or its prey dies.
(HP) 1405/1580
(CP) 733/850
"You gotta be shitting me that damn thing has a shit ton of HP." was the indignant shout of the gamer. Naruto was gawking at the health pool of the beast a distance away. Causing the beast to forget its balance in favor of charging the one whom wounded it, fortunately said target was the bunshin that poked its eye out. The bunshin backed away a few steps not ready for the speed the beast exhibited, barely making it out of the way of a claw that came down like thunder clap, but wasn't ready for its tail that came keening from the right catching the blond bunshin in the midsection it dispelling on contact.
Seeing its prey disappear in a cloud of smoke the Anjanath roared to the sky in fury as its mucus build up in its throat was lit a flame spraying its burning mucus everywhere, causing 40 feet of land surrounding it to catch a flame. While the beast was lost in its rage, four blond bunshins up in the tree canopy looked down upon the raging animal waiting for their chance to strike, which came as the Anjanath lowered its head down and nose expanded out and started to sniff its surrounding area. Catching the scent of its prey the beast's body jerked toward the direction where it was coming from.
Before it could make an attempt on the blond original four of his bunshin came plummeting from the top ropes (cough) from the tree tops their copied Katanas bearing down on the Anjanath. Two clever bunshin out of the four aimed their blades for the hip joints and succeeded in doing so while the other two punctured their swords in between the ribs of the creature.
"Critical Combo Strike! Total damage dealt 168."
"Congratulations! by performing a repeated action a skill was created (Kaimetsu-tekina ichigeki).
"Skill Activated! (Kaimetsu-tekina ichigeki) skill has been activated, Anjanath's total health pool has been reduced permanently by 10% and has been affected by the 10% permanent slow debuff."
"Well, I'd be damned that's kinda broken." Kurama said, shocked.
"I know right, this gamer system is awesome Dattabayo!" Naruto replied excitedly.
"Hey Kit, check its Health pool."
The blond nodded and whispered "Observe" Watching as the familiar Box of text appeared.
"Skill Activated! Observe skill has been activated, (Juvenile Anjanath) level 9 (HP) 1132/1422 (CP) 733/850."
Whistling, Naruto was amazed that the Anjanath's Health pool really did drop 10% from its total amount of health, and from the looks of it the beast doesn't have the best balance. The Anjanath was having issues keeping itself up right and couldn't turn that sharply anymore which was evident as it kept stumbling over itself trying to get to one of the bunshin that's been zig-zagging around its lumbbering form.
"Hey Kurmama-nii, i was wondering if that snake is on our trail or not?" the boy asked his fuzzy friend.
Hearing his host's question the Kitsune expanded his senses, searching for the chakra signicher of the serpent. Finding it after a short moment, he sensed that it was still in battle with the about 322 bunshin that remained. "It's still in combat with your bunshin so we should be fine for the moment."
"That's good…" Naruto paused for a moment then spoke up. "Do you think I can take this Anjanath down and bring it with me?"
"Yeah i believe you got this, just be careful don't get too over confident or you'll regret it." said in assurance.
Grinning like a madman Naruto nodded to his partner's words as he returned his gaze to the battle in front of him to see that his bunshin were running circles around the beast in hopes of tiring it out, watching as the creature was distracted with one of his bunshin, mind made up Naruto leaped up into the air as high as he could then formed the hand seal for his favorite Justu, in a puff of smoke two bunshin were formed vertically opposite from him. Lining the soles of his sandals with his bunshin's while the three of them tucked in their legs and with all the force they could exude the blond Jinchuuriki was launched higher into the air, looking down he saw the two bunshin that he created taking advantage of their position using the push off they gave him to get where he's at now. "Wow, Kage bunshin are useful." Naruto praised the jutsu aloud.
"That they are." The fox said in agreement, which sounded more of smug satisfaction.
"There's a story there." The blond questioned, while he Started to dissent toward the pink monstrosity, his surroundings Blurring as he plummeted. Only the Anjanath was clear in his view, lifting his blade Naruto watched as his remaining bunshin dispelled which were the last two he just made after they attempted to slash down with only one making a deep slash on the monster's neck close to where the jugular vein was located.
"Critical Hit! You have done 27 damage. The Anjanath has been affected with the Bleed Debuff, the Anajanth will lose 20 (HP) every 60 seconds."
"Sweet!" the blond said to himself enjoying the adrenaline of the hunt. Lining his blade with the gash the last clone left he swung down the sword arcing towards its target when he was close enough. The feeling of his blade cutting through flesh made the blond smile, once his feet touched the ground he felt a pull. Knowing he still had bunshin on stand by for a switch, with a puff of chakra smoke he was twenty feet away from the beast.
"Critical Hit! You have done 31 damage. The Anjanath has been affected with the Bleed Debuff, The Anajanth will now lose 25 (HP) every 30 seconds."
Turning to see what his bunshin just got him out of to see the bunshin impaled on to its clawed toe. Shivering, Naruto spoke. "That was close, I don't want to be impaled at the moment."
"Then don't get caught off guard. Keep your eyes on your target pay attention to it's body movement and attack pattern." the Kitsune suggested.
"Got it." the blond stated calmly getting ready to attack again.
"Use that skill again, let's see how fast it's health is dropping." Kurama suggested.
"Okay!" the blond chirped. "Observe" Naruto whispered.
"Observe skill had been activated. (Juvenile Anjanath) level 9 (HP) 974/1422 (CP) 733/850."
"Well shit, what are you going to do with it when we're done?" The fox asked, shocked not expecting such a drop in health.
Naruto made a gesture of thinking it over. "I don't know yet, I was thinking of taking the meat and selling off the hide but i might keep it."
"How are you gonna take it back to the village?" Kurama asked curious.
Naruto stiffened. "I don't know yet… Wait, I got an idea!" He exclaimed in his head.
"Oh? And would be?" Questioned the giant fox.
"The Injured prey routine." The blond replied.
All the blond heard from his tenant was booming laughter. "It works damn it!" Naruto pouted.
"Alright time to get big pink and ugly to the training ground entrance." the blond spoke aloud, getting himself ready for the act he was gonna perform. Before getting the attention of the beast he tested a theory he had by forming the hand seal for the kage bunshin and with a flare of chakra one Kage bunshin appeared and just as instantly it dispelled, waiting to here if his left over bunshin got there orders. He watched where the beast was to see a bunshin acting like he was injured and run limping toward the village.
Seeing its prey running away, the Anjanath lumbered after intent on catching its meal for the moment.
Sighing Naruto followed slightly behind the beast hoping this plan works.
Jiraiya chuckled nervously. "I'm just saying the kid's amazing. He's just like his parents, kind and forgiving and most likely just as protective as them too." the gamma-sannin said excitedly.
Hiruzen chuckled. "That he is. Naruto-kun is a wonderful boy and I'd wish the village could see what I see, a boy that's alone and scared just wanting family and friends." Hiruzen sighed and looked at his student. "Jiraiya-kun is it possible that Tsunada-chan has been brought under Danzo's thrall or do you think it's genuine?"
Jiraiya looked up in thought and after a short amount of time he lowered his head and made eye contact with his sensei. "There might be a possibility, but I don't want to test it as of right now, but when the chunin exams come around that time would be best. My wife plans to bring Toka-chan here so she can see why she doesn't like the village."
"And why is that?" the hokage asked interested on how she would get her point across.
"Well you see she has fed her hatred for Naruto to Toka-chan, but I'm not worried. I haven't been teaching her because of her attitude toward men in general, she doesn't even treat women correctly. There's been a couple times I've caught her forcing poor little Shizune into having sex with her." The white haired man said disappointment could be heard in his voice.
Hiruzen was shocked he didn't think the child of two of his students would be so vile. "What does Tsunade do about it?" he questioned, hoping that she stops this from happening.
"Nothing," His student said blankly.
"Well that's a shame let's hope that when Tsunada gets here we can break the Genjustu that's affecting her and maybe you and her can fix your daughter's out look on men and other women because if she comes here and tries to either assault men and women she will be imprisoned." the old kage said with finality in his tone.
"Understood sensei…"
"Knock" "Knock"
Both men turned their heads to the door of the office. "Sensei, were you expecting anyone at this time?"
Hiruzen shook his head. "No i wasn't, but let's see who it is." Forming a combination of hand seals the purple glow of the room faded and the hokage called out. "Come in."
The door opened for them to see an older teen girl with midnight black hair in a hime cut, but if one was paying attention enough they could see strands of her beautiful black hair were becoming a lighter shade, onyx black eyes that looked like the edges of the iris' were be coming a blue shade. A heart shaped face her, with generous assets were clear to see by the way her new clothing hugged her body. She has C-cup breasts, slim waist that flared out into wide child bearing hips and long luscious legs. She was about five feet and three inches tall. She was wearing a dark blue shirt with burnt orange lining the edges along with a skirt that dropped down to cover three quarters of her thighs in the same color and design. She was also wearing dark blue sandals. Her Beautiful face was marred with emotions that made the old Kage feel saddened. "Tsubaki-chan, how can I help you?" the old Kage asked, hoping the poor girl was okay.
Making eye contact with the Hokage, to see no anger or disdain in his eyes she continued with her train of thought not noticing the larger man that was in the room with her leader. "Hokage-sama, may I ask a question?"
"Of course my dear, I'll answer your questions to the best of my ability." the old Kage reassured her.
Taking in a breath the young woman began. "Why wasn't I charged with assault from last night?"
Hiruzen smiled. "Because the one that you assaulted didn't want to."
Hearing what the old kage said made the girl brighten up. "Really?"
Hiruzen chuckled softly, seeing the girl brighten up made him remember a certain law that made him grin. "Of course Tsubaki-chan, he said that his nechan wasn't mean just lost."
The raven'et was ecstatic, she was basically glowing in happiness. "Thank you Hokage-sama! I'll be going now Anko-chan is waiting for me." She turned and was about to leave until her leader's voice stopped her.
Hiruzen chuckled again, seeing the Uzumaki Clan Crest of a light blue spiral on the center of her upper back. "Could you wait one moment, Tsubaki-chan? I have a question for you."
Turning around, Tsubaki walked back in front of the old kage. "Anything you need Hokage-sama."
"Tsubaki-chan, I assume you remember what you offered to Naruto-kun earlier today right? Or is the original Uzumaki Crest for show? " Hiruzen asked teasingly, a grin stretching his wrinkled face.
The poor girl wasn't ready for that, the evidence being her face doing a very good impression of a tomato. Not trusting her words she nodded rapidly, still oblivious to the gamma-sannin's presents.
Smiling the Hokage continued. "Well you see Naruto-kun falls under a certain little CRA law i was wondering if you wanted-"
"Yes!" the raven'et blurted out, cutting off the Hokage. Noticing what she just did she squeaked then bowed. "I'm sorry Hokage-sama."
The Hokage laughed joyfully. "I can tell by the color scheme of your clothing. Very well I'll put you on the list and write up a marriage contract and I'll bring it to Naruto-kun to sign. I doubt he'd say no if the kiss you two shared today has anything to say about it." looking to the side he saw Anko peeking her head into the room through the door way he chuckled at the action. "Don't worry Anko-chan, I've already written one for you a long time ago."
Both girls had happy looks on their faces. Hiruzen's famous grandfatherly smile took form on his face at the sight of these two young women happy about being wed to his grandson. In the middle of their excitement Anko grabbed Tsubaki's hand, oblivious to her surroundings and spoke. "Tsubaki-chan let's go tell the girls and maybe later we can find Naruto-kun and celebrate with him plus we have to talk."
And… like that they were gone. All Hiruzen could do is laugh at the madness of it all. "Hahaha, there you go Jiraiya-kun. Those two lovely ladies have had feelings for our Naruto-kun for years now, and now that he has finally reached adulthood and the rank of gennin I can finally sign off on a marriage contract."
Jiraiya didn't respond immediately. He was still staring at the spot where the two very beautiful kunoichi were just a moment ago. He couldn't comprehend the fact his godson just had two very gorgeous women happy to marry him. "Sensei, who were those women?" he asked, not knowing what to say at the moment.
Hiruzen chuckled at his students' expression of befuddlement. "You see Jiraiya even though the majority of the village hates him for what he's not, the rest see him as him and it's all because of his kind heart and generous nature. He has a knack for touching people's hearts in a very special way, like what you said about the people of the red-light district. Those two girls were there for Naruto-kun like he was for them. Tsubaki-chan is a VIP in this village, she was sent to me to take care of and raise and What I can say about her now is that she's a wonderful kunoichi and an even more wonderful woman. As for Anko-chan, she's your ex teammate's student that was abandoned by him. You should know you're the one that found her in Umi no kuni."
Jiraiya looked startled. "You mean the child i bought back was that beautiful purple ett and now she has a thing for my godson how did that come about." he asked curiously.
Hiruzen had a small smile on his face. "she saved him from his own darkness, and he did the same for her. Those two birds of a feather they are, suffering the same treatment by the villagers. You could say they were made for each other, but I digress."
Before Jiraiya could speak, ANBU melted out of the shadows. "Hokage-sama we have an issue." their tone of voice sounded nervous.
Hiruzen looked like he was gonna have an aneurysm. Borrow twitching he demanded. "What is it Sūkikyō?"
"Hokage-sama, there have been sightings of a juvenile Anjanath that has gotten out of the forest of death. It was last seen chasing a blond boy that was wearing orange sir." the ANBU stated emotionlessly.
The hokage rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed. "That boy is going to have me in a grave early." he muttered under his breath. Then stood up. "Alright let's go see how much trouble Naruto-kun has gotten himself into."
