"You are dismissed for the day, tomorrow we'll work our first mission", looking at the man he sighed. Turning he saw his teammates walk away, '... I guess no celebration'. Walking away he followed the path to the streets of the village, looking at the people around he scrunched his eyes but ignored everything.

'Life really forced me to be here, I could have been reborn in Minecraft, Avatar the last Airbender, Pokemon, Food wars, Total Drama, or even Red Dead Redemption 2. But noooo, I got put into a universe that can have God level people kill me at any instant!!! In the other universes its hard to be killed, even in RRD I just got to worry about tuberculosis and gangsters'.

Sighing he rubbed his head, 'now I got to grind like I'm the Overly Cautious Hero, at least I graduated at a month into my first year. Contrary to what others think, you can't learn Jutsu unless you're a few months in as a Genin, or if I was in a clan. I looked at the Temple but there were only masks, too bad I gained conscious as Minato fought Obito, maybe they would have lived and I wouldn't have to be separated from Naruto... Damn monkey, I can't wait or my brothers Chunin exams'.

Passing by a mirror he saw his purple eyes and red hair, 'fortunately I didn't get the whiskers'. Going up the stairs he entered his apartment, seeing as no one was nearby he focused chakra on the palm of his hand.

Watching a tiny blue sphere appear he grunted as it disappeared, 'even though the only difference in the Naruto world is me, I should keep it to a low of any changes...'.

"... Are... Are you okay Sensei?", shaking his head the man nodded. "I'm fine Ben, fortunately you survived and became a Chunin", clenching the left side of his jaw the redhead sighed. "I.. I'm getting Ramen, do you want to come?", "no, enjoy your time. I need to report to the Hokage, just come to the tower early tomorrow".

Seeing him flicker away he sighed and began walking away from the gate, '5,680 ninjas were in the exam, 150 leaf were there... But only I survived'. Clenching his hand he saw a flash of blood on it, "at least I took 300 of them as pay back'.

Shaking his head he opened the curtain but felt a blur pass him quickly, "HEY OLD MAN ICHIRAKU!!!". Chuckling the man smiled brightly at the blonde, "what can I do for you today, Naruto!?". Smiling brightly the boy sat down, "3 bowls of Miso ramen please!".

Staring at the boy he froze, 'I-I...'. Looking at the boy grinning at the man he schooled his features, turning the man smiled. "What can I get you?", "... 5 Tonkotsu Ramen please". Nodding the man walked to the back but froze for a moment before continuing, sitting down he took out his orange book and read silently.

After a few minutes he sighed and looked at the staring boy, "do I got something on my face?". Pointing the blonde looked at his forehead, "you're a ninja!?". "Yeah, so what?", "So what!? Your like my age!!!".

"I look young, but I'm actually old", making a bewildered face the boy tilted his head. "How old are you?", "... Nine". "YOUR JUST TWO YEARs OLDER THAN ME!!!", snorting he rolled his eyes. "For your information I graduated at 6 and became a Chunin this week", eyes widening the boy pointed at him.

"How!!! What's the secret!!!!", "you want to know the secret...". Hearing this Naruto bobbed his head, seeing this he smiled widely. "the secret is...", watching the boy scoot closer he smirked. "There isn't any secret", falling face forward the boy glared.

Laughing lightly he sighed, "all I did was work hard". Glowering the boy sighed, "really?". "Really", seeing the boy lean on his hands in disappointment his eyes soften. "What's your dream Naruto?", grinning the boy pointed at himself.

"I'm gonna become Hokage believe it!", raising an eyebrow he snorted. "Right and I'm the Hokage's secret child, 'all this is very true'", "just wait, when everyone sees me they'll have to accept me and not ignore me!!!".

Bonking him on the head he smiled, "am I ignoring you?". Huffing the kid crossed his arm, turning he watched as the man brought both their dishes. "Haaa no, you're not ignoring me", turning Naruto saw the boys five bowls were empty.

Looking at the older man he saw him also gob smacked, "whew that was delicious, here this should cover mine and his food". Placing the coins on the counter he grinned at Naruto while walking out , "names Ben... also you should remember, there is never a shortcut to anything, even becoming Hokage".

"Congratulations on your promotion Ben, its a shame your teammates and sensei weren't here to see it", swallowing lightly Ben nodded. 'Sensei really pulled a Sakumo... haaa', "yes Lord Hokage but I know they would be glad the will of fire still burns brighter than ever", smiling the man handed him two scrolls.

"It saddens me that I could not tell you sooner but since you are ready, it is right you find out", freezing from the scrolls he looked at the man. 'I guess boss is gonna find out soon'.

"Alright Naruto!!! Do you think you have the hang of it!?", smiling the boy nodded. "Heck yeah!", crossing his hands the boy grinned. "Sexy Jutsu!!!", in a plume of smoke the boy was replaced by a girl with blonde pig tails.

Studying Naruto he shook his head, "no like this, Sexy Jutsu!!!". In a plume of smoke redheaded woman appeared, seeing his clones Jutsu Ben felt awkward. 'In my previous life Kushina was my waifu, now that I'm her son is it incest? Incest is Wincest- NOPE!!! NEED TO STOP THE DEGENERATE THOUGHTS!!!'.

Coughing in his hand he waved at his female counter part, "remember, girls have softer faces. Sure, there are some with guy faces but yours has a goatee". Nodding the boy hummed in thought, looking at the boy he suddenly had a clones memory go through his mind.

'... He still didn't say Naruto was my brother...', looking at the boy he clapped his hands. "It looks like I got to cut this short, same time next month. Don't be late lil bro~", seeing him rolling his eyes he disappeared in a body flicker.

Appearing in his house he looked at the sealing array laid out, 'haaa its gonna be a bit before I can be the red flash...'.
