Hiruzen

Naruto: "Before anything else, let's see something first" I said, closing my eyes and concentrating on trying to get a feel of my chakra. I thought it was going to be hard trying to get used to my chakra since a part of it contains the Kyuubi's chakra, though oddly, I was able to feel my chakra flowing around my body flawlessly... But I did notice a faint of the Kyuubi's chakra mixing with my own. I flinched a little feeling its chakra for the first time, It was quite heavy and can make you uneasy fast 'Maybe because of the amount of chakra I have that I was able to feel it much quicker than intended? And also, it seems that Naruto already unlocked his chakra, he just didn't know it yet' I thought, deciding to put my chakra situation aside, for now, to focus on other things, like my new apartment

Naruto: "The apartment is surprisingly clean. Must have been arranged recently. A closet, a clock, a refrigerator, a table, a bathroom, a mirror, probably a medium-sized couch, and my bed... Looks quite comfortable looking at it now. Some kitchen utensils as well, and if that's the case then there's probably some food in the fridge... And the closet" I made my way to my closet and opened it. Inside was a bunch of fresh, new clothes for me to wear instead of this old, quite smelly t-shirt that I am currently wearing, same with my shorts. Though the sandals were good

Naruto: "I see... Hiruzen isn't so bad in reality, but he could've done better for Naruto that's for sure. But this time, I am the new Naruto, not the hyperactive knucklehead. A different one, certainly" I closed my closet and just as I did that, the door to my apartment opened, revealing the old man Hiruzen himself rocking the Hokage robe with some bags occupying both of his hands 'I didn't expect him to visit me yet. I've got to work on my sensory skills, or Hiruzen just hid his chakra' I thought

Naruto: "Hokage-sama"

Hiruzen: "Ah Naruto-kun, good to see you're exploring your new apartment. How is it?" Hiruzen entered inside and layed the two bags on the table while I just sat on one of the chairs

Naruto: "It's amazing Hokage-sama. I'm very grateful" I said with a smile, making Hiruzen smile a little too

Hiruzen: "No need to be Naruto-kun, you deserve this after all. Oh and also, I have registered you into the academy. I've bought you some ninja gear for you to get started. You'll be attending the academy in the next month from now"

Naruto: "Thank you for that Hokage-sama, and also for the ninja gear"

Hiruzen: "No problem Naruto-kun. If you have any problems then drop by at the Hokage mansion, maybe I could help you" Hiruzen said as I nodded

Naruto: "I'll keep that in mind Hokage-sama"

Hiruzen: "Very well, I'll leave you to it then... Oh, and also, I have given you some Ryo in those bags. That will be enough to take care of the bills and food for about a month. Come see me when the month is over to get your next batch of ryo for your bills and such. Understood?" I nodded at him as he smiled

Hiruzen: "Well I'll be on my way then. Stay safe Naruto" And Hiruzen left, leaving me with the two bags that he left. I sat up and removed everything from the bags onto the table

Naruto: "Hmm, shurikens, kunai... Not what I was expecting but there seems to be quite a lot of them. And there's the bag of Ryo Hiruzen was talking about" I grabbed the bag filled with Ryo, thinking that I need to find a way to earn my own money and not rely on his monthly gives 'At this time... The only thing I could think of is pickpocketing. I can't do missions since, for obvious reasons. I guess I'll just do that until I am qualified to do missions... But I need to train first. I'll see if my Sharingan is already activated, and then practice with my shuriken and kunais since I don't have the scroll of the Transformation jutsu yet. Also my chakra control and sensory, I need that if I want to pickpocket efficiently. And I want to work with my Sage body as early as I can. Taijutsu no need, though learning different styles and using all of it in battle should affect my hand to hand more'.

Sometime Later At the Hokage Office

"Old man, how are you?" Jiraiya suddenly appeared through the window of the Hokage office with Hiruzen sitting in front of the desk as he just finished the last few papers

Hiruzen: "Jiraiya? I didn't think you'd be back soon" Hiruzen said as Jiraiya entered the room, leaning onto the wall with his arms crossed

Jiraiya: "I thought I'd take a quick visit here. How's Naruto?"

Hiruzen: "He... Seems different"

Jiraiya: "Oh? What is it, old man?"

Hiruzen: "I talked to him earlier and the way he talked isn't... Like what he used to be"

Jiraiya: "Wait what? What do you mean?"

Hiruzen: "I'm saying he isn't quite hyperactive as usual. He became mostly quiet and calm when I visited him in his new apartment recently, and the way he talks is not what he used to do. He has more manners now, surprisingly. Calling me 'Hokage-sama' and quite flawless in talking too, perfect tone and everything"

Jiraiya: "Hmm... That's strange alright. From our meetings, he is quite energetic and playful. And now he has a new personality?... Maybe he has been hiding his true self after all"

Hiruzen: "Maybe, but it sort of came out of nowhere. Besides that, everything else about him is still the same. I sense no evil intentions out of him whatsoever"

Jiraiya: "Well as long as it doesn't affect how he used to act, then I don't see this as a bad thing. But still, it is strange for that to happen, especially since he's still a kid"

Hiruzen: "Indeed... Has he really been hiding his true self? And if so, why would he show it to me suddenly out of nowhere?"

Jiraiya: "Well, you've been taking care of him for a while now and maybe he trusts you enough to let his true self be exposed to you"

Hiruzen: "... Maybe"

Jiraiya: "... Well, anything else new about him old man?"

Hiruzen: "Not really, only that. He'll be attending the academy a month from now. I bought him some ninja gear for starters"

Jiraiya: "Ah, you finally registered him. I'm sure he'll be quite a ninja soon, maybe just like his father"

Hiruzen: "(*Sigh*) I hope so. That's what Minato wanted, after all, to be able to defend himself"

Jiraiya: "Yeah, but still. When the time comes, pick a sensei for him that's reliable. Of course, I'll soon take the boy under my wing, but there is still more work to be done"

Hiruzen: "I already have one planned for him, but it's still far away until then"

Jiraiya: "Yeah... Well anyway, I'll be going now old man. Take care!" And just like that, Jiraiya left via the window that he entered through before, leaving a thoughtful Hiruzen sitting on his Hokage desk

With Naruto

Naruto: "Huh, the winter just ended and it seems I already saved Hinata from the bullies, according to my memories that is" I mumbled to myself 'And also, my Sharingan is already active, though one tomoe only. These eyes should be stronger than a normal one would've, up until the last stage. I need to get some fighting experience. I mean, I know how to throw hands, just not frequently, but I'll soon see... And also, I've been toying around with my Sharingan a little, turning it off and on to get a better feel for it, though I have to be careful in activating it at a wrong time. I don't know Genjutsus yet to be able to conceal my eyes, no need to show it yet... I think I'll start training tomorrow. I'll ask Hiruzen if I can use one of the training grounds, though maybe he'll send someone to spy on me while I train. I sure hope not, it will ruin everything'

Naruto: "Hmm... What time is it" I looked around my apartment, finding the clock that I saw a moment ago. A second later, I found it hanging on a wall right above the couch

Naruto: "That reads... 1 pm. Still early... Maybe I could sneak in some early training... If I arrange the kunais and shurikens first that is. My OCD would not handle it sitting on the table like that. My first day in the Naruto world has started..."
