start of something new

(short chapter )

Today, Arashi's day didn't start well. It was his birthday, and he had hoped his parents would finally give him some attention. To his surprise, as he went downstairs, they weren't there – all of them had gone for ramen. It seemed they had forgotten about him again. Arashi felt immense anger, but he took deep breaths to calm himself. Deciding he had had enough, he resolved not to care about his family anymore. With that in mind, he got ready for the academy, knowing that his siblings would also be joining this year.

After unlocking his chakra that morning, Arashi discovered an interesting piece of information – he had Mokuton, the legendary kekkei genkai of the First Hokage. Hiruzen and Tsunade could only come to one conclusion: Uzumaki were distant relatives. Jiji had asked him to keep quiet about it, to protect him from potential harm.

Timeskip to the evening:

Arashi received a message from an ANBU to go to the Sarutobi residence urgently. He ran as quickly as possible, greeted by Asuma at the door.

Asuma - "You need to come fast; father, he..."

Arashi - "What? What happened to Jiji?" He ran straight inside with Asuma, reaching the room.

"Surprise!"

Arashi was shocked. The Uchiha family, Sayuri(Itachi twin ), Itachi, Tsunade, Shizune, Konohamaru, Jiji – all of them were there with a cake and presents. He was overwhelmed with happiness.

Mikoto - "Happy birthday, Naruto-kun. This is my and sayuri gift." She handed him a box containing new shinobi clothes. "I made these for you for training. I think it suits your style."

sayuri - "and I made this scarf for you "she gave the scarf to him "do you like it "

"no "came arashi reply and it looked like sayer was about to cry 

"I love it "arashi exclaimed and hugged sayuri who had a ting of red as all adults had a smirk on there faces seeing this 

"Thank you, Aunt Mikoto and sayuri." Arashi opened all the gifts – a book on medicine from Tsunade, chocolates from Shizune, and various shinobi tools from others.

Hiruzen - "I am the only one left, right?" He presented a gift from him and Konohamaru – a long box. "Happy birthday, Nii-chan." Arashi smiled as he opened it to find a beautiful sword – pure black with a red hilt. "I got this from my friend Mifune in the Land of Iron."

"Thank you, Jiji, so much." Konohamaru complained, "Can we eat the cake, please? I am hungry." Laughter filled the room.

The party went on with everyone enjoying and having a good time. As the party ended, everyone had to go back home. Arashi asked Jiji if he could stay, and he happily agreed. Now, only Tsunade and Hiruzen were there. Hiruzen called Arashi aside, and they exchanged smiles.

"Naruto-kun, I have a proposal for you. I want to make you my student."

Arashi was stunned. Despite being his Jiji, he understood the opportunity he was getting to learn from the God of Shinobi himself. He would be a fool to say no.

Arashi - "Jiji, when do we start?" He said with determination.

Hiruzen smirked, pleased with the confidence and determination. He turned and spoke, "Be ready at 5 in the morning."

This was going to be awesome.
