9th Position

Hiruzen remembered this Haruno Sakura. She placed first in the written exam of Naruto's generation in the academy. Sure she was weak physically and had very low chakra, but to call her useless?

Anyway, atleast she was granted bigger chakra reserves.

"Bring Haruno Sakura from the Academy immediately."

An ANBU disappeared and appeared with Sakura, and she was frightened by Hokage and other top brass suddenly bringing her here.

Hiruzen smiled kindly to Sakura and said, "Sakura-chan, can I check your chakra reserves?"

"Y-yes!"

She squeaked out a yes.

Hiruzen put his hand on her belly to check her reserves, and he was shocked!

'She has chakra reserves as large as Naruto! The power of this list is real!'

Hiruzen looked at Kakashi, and subtly glanced at Danzo.

"Inu, take Sakura-chan back safely."

'Translation: Keep her safe'

"Yes Hokage-sama."

And Kakashi disappeared with Sakura.

Hiruzen sighed inwardly.

"The power of this god is real. Her chakra reserves almost doubled."

"Really Hiruzen?"

Danzo raised his eyebrow, in suspicion. He will check the effects himself later.

[A: Finally I am able to talk! Third Hokage, is the power of this screen real?]

[Hiruzen: Yes. Before her reserves were tiny, and now they are small.]

[Onoki: Tell it more clearly!]

[Hiruzen: That is a crucial information of Leaf. You wouldn't share it if it was your shinobi, would you?]

[Onoki: Tch! Fine! Then don't ask me what my Shinobi gained!]

[A: Yeah!]

[Hiruzen: Of course. We at Konoha respect privacy.]

[Minato: Huh? Wasn't I in Shinigami's stomach? Why is there a screen before me and these chats... Third Hokage-sama! Can you hear me?]

Hiruzen suddenly felt cold sweat running through his back.

[Hiruzen: Yes Minato.]

[Minato: Thank god! How is my son?]

[Onoki: Minato has a son!?]

[A: Of course he has. It looks like Iwa's intelligence department is lacking.]

[Onoki: You musclehead, shut up!]

[A: Try me!]

Now Hiruzen was sweating. How did Kumo already know about Naruto? And what should he answer to Minato?

[Hiruzen: He is fin-]

[Naruto: Oh! It's the Fourth Hokage! Hey! I am going to surpass you!]

Hearing Naruto, Minato was very happy, but Hiruzen had only one thought going through his mind.

'Oh shit!'

[Minato: How are you Naruto? How old are you now?]

[Naruto: I am turning 8 soon!]

[Minato: Sorry Naruto for leaving you alone. I am a very bad father.]

This time, OH SHIT!

[Naruto: Huh? You are my father!?]

[A: Hahaha! Third Hokage didn't tell Konoha's hero's son about his own father! Hey Naruto, how about coming to Kumo? You see, I am the fastest person after your father died. And my brother knows how to handle his tailed beast. You aren't treated well in Konoha, right? We respect strength before anything else in Kumo!]

[Naruto: What is a tailed beast!?]

[A: ...]

[Onoki: ...]

[Minato: ...]

[Tobirama: ...]

[Hashirama: ...]

[Madara: ...]

[Tobirama: Saru...]

[Minato: Third Hokage...]

[Hiruzen: Ahem! The village was weak, so I had to hide about-]

[Minato: Third Hokage, from what I remember, you didn't hide Asuma-kun's identity, right?]

[Hiruzen: But Konoha is wea-]

[Minato: You should have atleast told him about his parents!]

[Hiruzen: But what if he said about his identity to anyone? He is just a child!]

[A: Hahaha! That's pure bullshit! The rumours of 'Demon Brat' is spread throughout your village. He looks just like Minato, and don't you think that Uzumaki surname wouldn't attract people? We have known about his identity since he was 3. But since I respect Minato, I didn't do anything to his child.]

[Onoki: ...]

[Minato: You should have raised him in your home! Or atleast let Mikoto-san adopt him. Where is Mikoto-san?]

[Sasuke: How do you know my mother!?]

[Minato: Oh Sasuke-chan? Are you friends with Naruto? His mother and yours were best friends.]

[Sasuke: My mother is dead.]

[Minato: Huh? Sorry for your loss.]

[Sasuke: The whole Uchiha clan is dead. Only I am alive.]

[Minato: HUH!?]

[Tobirama: Goo- cough! What!?]

[Hashirama: NANI!?]

[Madara: ...]

Hiruzen was thinking of excuses, when the next announcement saved him.
