After the exams

"So, you just channel your chakra to your feet, and you can stick to any surface, but if you channel too much, the bark will crack."

Naruto explained to Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon. The Konohamaru gang.

It had been about fifteen days after the exam and Naruto has replaced his black flak jacket with green. He was promoted to Chunin after beating Satsuki in the final 1v1v1. It was himself, her and a genin From Kumo that could was focusing too much on Hand to hand.

He caught Konohamaru that fell, his other two clones were watching the other two brats.

Putting the long scarf-wearing kid on the ground again, he gave a few tips before prompting him forward.

The day passed like that before he had to return home, He left three shadow clones to continue their training and went home.

Walking through the village, people gave him way, some were still cautious about his ears. Some did so out of shame.

The ears would take fifteen more days for them to go away.

he said that the progress was going good, and he could feel the changes in his chakra system. His chakra control was shot, as he expected but he managed to bring it up by using his spiralling sphere.

Opening his door, he went inside his house, conveniently ignoring Danzo that was sitting on his couch that he and Satsuki picked out, and went towards the fridge.

Picking up a juice box, He walked up to the second floor and picked up a few scrolls about sealing and Jutsu creation and walked back down again.

Creating a few clones he handed them a scroll each and sat down, right across from the uninvited guest and started sipping juice while reading.

"So... How may I help you, Lord Danzo?"

The said old hawk just hummed, observing the newly turned Chunin in front of him, before saying What he came here for.

"I have come to extend an invitation to the Assassination and tracking Branch of Anbu."

the blonde hummed himself, not even looking up from his scroll while answering.

"You want me, a newly turned clan head, to join ANBU, you are aware that my disappearance will not only raise questions but there will also be a spot left open in council, right?"

Danzo had to admit, he had a point, but he still needed a flying thunder god user in the Anbu.

"Yes, but you should put some more thought into it, you will get training as well as good pay, the risk will be high hence the high reward."

Naruto was paying minimal attention to him, he was trying to figure out a way to make a space field that he could use to not teleport in front of his seal all the time, which could put him in a bad situation.

"Well, Right now, Im putting thought into how to deal with someone tho trespassed into my house, Clan property, might I add, and is sitting on my couch like it's not a big deal. you might be on the council but breaking into someone's house is still a crime," He looked up to him, eyes cold as a blizzard. "A Shinobi's house nonetheless, if it was anyone else, say a Hyuuga clan, a complaint would be sent to Lord Hokage."

The two stared at each other. before Danzo stood up, bowed slightly and left through the front door.

A sound of a body hitting the floor sounded, and he looked over. His clone was holding a bloody Kunai in his hand, and a blank masked Anbu was laying on the floor. The clone bent down and took off the mask, The body erupted in blue flames until it got consumed by it, leaving nothing but ashes behind.

The mask was still there though.

The clone disappeared in a Shunshin, going towards the Hokage tower.

There wouldn't be any consequences, "Root" Didn't exist, so Danzo couldn't complain.

He sat there, Writing a few seals and putting them away for later testing.

His "Fathers" notes were a huge help, but him being an asshole and not writing how to perfect the seal, was not helping.

And the notes had these messages attached to them that were supposed to motivate him.

"I did it in a day! :)" Well congrats, What does it matter? he really wanted to teach his kids how to perform the thunder god.

He looked out of the window at the sound of rain, it was pouring down. He hasn't seen rain like this for a while.

He liked it, it was calming, relaxing and enjoyable... and if it was loud enough, it could cover footsteps as well.

A knock sounded on the door. with a sigh, he stood up and walked over to the door, he knew who it was. Opening the door, he looked at Satsuki, her head was down, her hair sticking to her face because of the rain and he could see a red mark on her cheek.

His fist tightened, Itachi or her sister wouldn't do it, Her mother, His godmother, wouldn't do it, that only left her father.

Suddenly he wanted to cut a hand off and hang it on a wall.

With a sigh, he brought her inside the house, out of the rain.

"Get me a towel and warm up some water in the bath."

One of the clones looked up, and with an understanding nod, he went to do what he was told.

Bringing the girl towards the couch he sat her down and caught the towel that was thrown to him by the clone and started drying her hair.

(Someone will pay for this... ill make sure of it.)
