My wood is bigger than yours

After arriving, he was attacked by roots underground. He did a front flip while in the air; he faced Hashirama and used {Wood Style: Great Forest Jutsu}, he turned his arm into a large wooden hammer and hammered Hashirama with it.

Hashirama who was struck to the ground used {Genjutsu: Bringer of Darkness} which blinded Naruto for a split second. Hashirama used the split second to summon {Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu}.

Naruto crossed his hands was hit by the dragon-shaped fire and pushed back. Smoke started appearing in his hand and the burn he got regenerated very quickly.

Naruto turned to Hashirama and said: "It's been a while since I got hurt in a fight." Naruto's hand recovered.

Hashirama smirked hearing Naruto and used {Wood Style: Nativity of the sea of trees} Tress started appearing from underground.

Naruto saw the smirk and said "Let's see who's {Wood Style} is better" than also {Wood Style: Nativity of the sea of trees}.

Naruto and Hasirama looked at each other and raised their hand at the same time to control the trees to attack.

Many trees started hitting each other, both of them were holding one hand to control and jumping around and dodging trees and throwing at each other.

Naruto threw five kunai with explosion tags and used his other hand to say "kai" when it reached Hashirama. The explosion from the stages cleared the way for him to cast [Gyoka(Hellfire) Style: Great Fireball Jutsu], instead of a normal 5meters, it was 15 meters and was gold in color. By mixing Fire, Yin, and Yang, Naruto created a fire that could burn a soul. He used this new release many times while bounty hunting as Naruto, so he has earned the title of Crimson King.

When the fireball launched itself, Hashirama used [Summoning: Triple Rashomon], which summoned three large gates to block the Jutsu. Then, [Gyoka Great Fire Jutsu] smashed through the fire gate, stopped at the second gate, and started burning.

Though it might not be Amaterasu, it is as strong as one. It doesn't stay long as 7days, but it does burn everything it comes in contact with for some time. The fire destroyed the second gate and disappeared.

Naruto thought, ' I can power it up more and completely destroy Hashirama's soul, but why would I want to do that? He is my training buddy now.'

Naruto rushed in front of Hashirama and started testing his Taijutsu. In all his fights he never went all out after opening the fourth gate since no one was powerful enough to train with him.

Naruto and Hashirama started trading blows, and Naruto's punches created holes in his ash/dirt body. Finally, Naruto gripped Hashiram's leg and threw him up. Naruto then jumped up and gave a kick, which caused him to fly up.

Naruto then transformed his gold wrist band into a golden Kusarigama. His Kusarigama chains went behind him and were wrapped in both hands, like how Kratos wrapped his blades. He then threw one sickle towards flying Hashirama. The sickle wrapped Hashirama's lower body and stabbed into his left leg. Naruto then pulled it towards him.

When Hashirama was bolting towards him, Naruto threw [Vanshing Rasengan] A ball filled with lightning chakra that turned invisible and flew towards Hashirma, who was being pulled by Naruto Kusarigama's sickle.

Hashirama was ripped in half and exploded when the Rasengan made contact. Hashirama's head with half upper body fell. Naruto then said: " I am sorry for trashing you like that. I know you are pretty weak in this form; let us have a full fight sometime later." Then tied him with his chains and started walking down the Hokage.

While walking, Naruto cast a Genjutsu on himself to make him slightly beat up. When he reached the Hokage was fighting with Tobirama, and Orochimaru looked beat up.

Naruto announced: " Sensei, my fight is done. But, unfortunately, I can't seal him, though I can only temporarily hold the First Hokage with the Chains."

When Naruto announced himself every looked at him, Naruto with Genjutsu looked slightly beat up with torn clothes and bruises around his lips. Everyone was surprised Naruto won against the First Hokage; they didn't know Hashiram was weak except Hiruzen.

Hiruzne then looked at Naruto with suspicion; even though Hashirama was weaker than when he died, beating him as a 13year old Genin is impossible.

Naruto sensed Hiruzen's emotions and said: " Don't look at me like that. He is very weak compared to his prime self. My chains are actually his weakness in this form."

They were still astonished, then nodded.

Hiruzen said: " You really grew up, Naruto" he smiled.

Orochimaru was currently in denial. He is at first envious of Naruto since he is more genius than him, but it turns into an obsession when Naruto performs {Wood Release}. Now it turned into I don't what, but the gaze in his eyes gives Naruto creeps.

Orochimaru thought: 'Naruto is currently too powerful for me to give him a seal. So there is only one way is to have his offspring or clone him and then use him as my vessel.'

Orochimaru was currently at a disadvantage. He knows Tobirama can't guard him against four people(Gai, Kakashi, Naruto, and Hiruzen). The invasion looked like failed, and more and more Anbu will be surrounding me, and it would be problematic for me to escape.

Orochimaru then flung his sword at Hiruzen, held by Tobimariu water prison. He then controlled Tobirama to release the water prison. However, when the dome of water started falling apart, Orochimaru's sword then expanded, stabbing Hirzen straight in the stomach.

Kakashi and Gai looked at Hiruzen, who was stabbed and started coughing blood while curling down.

Gai/Kakashi yelled; " Hokage-sama!!!"

Orochimaru seized this opportunity and ran while exploding into hundreds of snakes.

Naruto summoned more chains and unleashed them at Tobirmam while slicing both of his hands and wrapping his chains around him.

Naruto then ran to Hiruzen with 'nervousness' and started performing [Mystical Plams] and [Tekishutsu(Extraction)] to extract the sword while manipulating the surrounding tissues.

Kakashi didn't disturb since Naruto is the best Medical Shinobi in the village.

Naruto saw that Hiruzen was poisoned by something even he could not heal with his medical Jutsu skills. But, of course, he can use many other techniques to heal him.

Naruto looked at Gai and Kakashi and said: " I stopped the bleeding and repaired his tissues, but he is poisoned. Even I don't know what kind of poison it is. I need time to study the poison on the sword, but I don't know how long it will take. Currently, I can lessen his pain, and he should wake up by tomorrow."

Gai was sad that Naruto couldn't do anything and started crying. Kakashi, who was calm and thinking, said: " Jiraiya is fighting the summoned beasts, and I will contact him to find Tsuanda-sama to heal him."

Gai stopped crying and looked at Kakashi for giving such an idea and hugged Kakashi shouting with excitement: "YESS!!"

Kakashi pushed Gai away and said to Naruto: " I will escort you to the medical ward."

Naruto said, " No need," then summoned {Wood Style: Wood Clone}. Five Wood Clones came. Two turned the roots into a plank and put Hiruzen on it while one was performing {Mustical Plams}, and two others were guarding him with real Naruto and Kakashi, who was walking beside him.

After sometime {Edo-Tensei} unsummoned. So the bodies of Hashirama and Tobirama turned into ash, leaving the husk of the previous body, which was used to summon them.

After reaching the hospital, Naruto commanded a few nurses and told them how to treat him, leaving a clone with Hiruzen.

Naruto turned to Kakashi and said: " I left to clone with a lot of chakra which is constantly performing {Mystical Plams} and {Dokunuki(Poison Removal)} I need rest and inform me when Jiraiya-san calls me. So I will be retiring."

Naruto disappeared, leaving a flash of red lightning; Kakashi was surprised to recognize his sensei's FTG. Kakashi sighed " I don't need any more surprises," he said to himself.

Naruto reached his home and suddenly saw a black-haired woman coming toward him.

Mikoto, who saw Naruto came, ran and hugged him. Karin and Haku soon followed and were patiently waiting.

Mikoto, after hugging him for some time, has released him. Then, Naruto looked at worrying Mikoto and said: " You know I have said I could escape whenever I want with my space-time Jutsu. So you don't have to worry."

Naruto raised his palms and stroked Mikoto's cheeks, which turned red. Mikoto looked at Naruto, who was looking at her with a warm gaze. Naruto used his thumb and moved it toward her lips while rubbing them. Mikoto looked at Naruto's lip and moved closer slightly to...

"*AHEM* *AHEM*."

Naruto looked at Karin, who Haku hit for disturbing her 'Master.'

Naruto thought: 'be grateful that I care about you. I would have shoved a fucking {Rasengan} up your ass.'

Karin looked at Naruto and stuttered, causing her to tighten her butt cheeks.

Mikoto moved back with a red face and said: " G..o Get rea..dy." then rushed to her kitchen.

Naruto chuckled and nodded at Haku, and narrowed his eyes at Karin.

---------------------> With Haku and Karin

After Naruto left, they both relaxed. Then, Haku looked at Karin and said,

" are you stupid? Naruto-sama is angry now."

Karin lowered her head with tears and said, " Sorry, I got *hic* jealous and didn't think."

Haku sighed and said, " Don't worry, Naruto-sama was probably irritated. He is the head of the Uzumaki Clan. Please remember that we are guests, and he was kind enough to provide food and shelter, so please behave. He is in CRA, so you have to sacrifice many things if you want to be with him. Remember that"

Karin wiped her tears and nodded.

Naruto <------------------------------------

At night time, Naruto teleported to the hospital. Naruto clone has already cast a Genjutsu around the area, placed many seals, and informed Naruto that preparation is ready. The security was less since Naruto's clone was here to 'protect' him.

Naruto teleported to Hiruzen and used [Kamui], then teleported together into his dimension.

Naruto already guessed Hiruzen would wake up tonight, so he told Kakashi that he would wake up tomorrow.

After a few minutes, he noticed Hiruzen's eyelids were twitching, and he seemed to wake up any second.

After Hiruzen opened his eyes, he saw Naruto in front of him, which caused him to remember the events that led to this event.

Naruto then spoke: "It looks like you are awake, Hiruzen."

The Hokage was surprised since Naruto never called him by his name. At first, he thought Naruto was an imposter, but after sensing his monstrous reserves and chains behind him.

Hiruzen then spoke warily: " Is that how you speak to your teacher Naruto?"

Naruto then looked at Hiruzen in the eye, imitating Hiruzen and saying: " I never did consider you as my teacher. I am merely using you as a chess piece. You thought you were controlling me? Since I met you for the first time, I have been the one who controlled you."

Hiruzen's eyes widened, and they looked around. He guessed he was not in Konoha at all or in a Genjutsu. He then looked at Naruto with caution and said: " So what is your plan? I have taught you everything, and I have treated you like a grandson and even protected you from becoming someone else puppet."

Naruto then said, " I guess you did in a way. Compared to the Anime Naruto, I had it subtle and lax. Anime Naruto was probably beaten and starved. But what you did to me was you schemed against me and caused Mikoto to suffer. Tell me honestly the reason behind Mikoto's suffering. Don't lie since I can sense it."

Hiruzen's eyes trembled. He never thought Naruto would say these things. Naruto has always been respectful and obedient. Listening to talk to him like this is surprising to him. He has always been careful with Naruto and has always supported Naruto while subtly manipulating him.

So Hiruzen said: " Naruto, I don't know what you are talking about, and I think someone is manipulating you by giving you wrong information. But, please, I had nothin… AAAA…"

Naruto released Kuruma Chakra into his system, which caused him to feel a burning sensation and pain with the poison he carries.

Naruto said, " I said do not lie. I am sensing many lies here. So I am giving you one more chance, or I will use Genjutsu on you. After that, the pain will be a hundred times more."

Hiruzen can handle the pain as a shinobi, but he was scared when Naruto continued what he said.

"I will make Konoha suffer. I can use {Wood Style} with my chakra reserver. I can flatten Konoha. I can even release the Kyubi."

Hiruzen, after making up his mind, said: " Uchiha's are bad people. They are power-hungry, so to protect Konoha, I needed to remove Mikoto's eyes."

Technically what Hirizen said was true since he needed to control Naruto to protect Konoha, but after he spoke, he felt excruciating pain again. So he looked at Naruto, asking for an explanation.

Naruto said, " Tell me the REAL reason, do not test my patience Hiruzen. I already know, but I wanted to hear it from your mouth."

Hiruzen sighed and said: " I wanted to control you; you are getting too close to Uchiha. If I kill Mikoto, you might go on a rampage, so I did the best next thing I could; I removed her eyes."

Hiruzen waited for the pain but sighed in relief after feeling no pain.

Naruto said, " Good, now we are making progress. Tell me what are your plans for her after."

Hiruzen was scared now. Naruto said, " speak." Hiruzen slowly opened his mouth and said.

" Danzo planned on killing her or putting her in root as a breeding for root ninja, but Itachi warned him…."

Naruto said: " That means you didn't deny it? I see you are really good at manipulating. Giving all the dirty things to Danzo while you get all the fame, no wonder Danzo is always gloomy."

Hiruzen lowered his head.

Naruto said: " Don't worry, I have planned many things for you. You are going to be my puppet and will follow every order. First, I will make you slowly lose your power and prestige and make every villager hate you, and finally, you will die by my hand. Don't worry because no one will find out."

Before Hiruzen wanted to say something, Naruto grabbed his hair and made him look him in the eye. Then, Naruto cast [Genjutsu: Sharingan] and read all his memories.

Naruto then inserted a thin invisible golden chakra needle without gold strands into his brain and said, "You will act like you always do, but you will unconsciously ignore any bad things about me and only focus on good things. You will follow my orders without questioning why and will always try to help me or anyone close to me. Finally, you will not remember anything that has happened except only my instructions. Sleep"

Even Byakugan can't see the needles since it can hide its own chakra. Naruto didn't want Hiruzen to be loyal, so he removed the loyal strands in his chakra since he wanted him to die but not until all of Naruto's plans finished. He wanted to remove the control of Hiruzen at the end when he was going to die, and Naruto wanted him to feel despair for messing with him.

So now he has an alibi to anything when questioned. If he were questioned why he did something, he would say Hiruzen wanted him to do it and give them an excuse, and Hiruzen, who follows Naruto's orders, will approve. Naruto then transported Hiruzen back and left.

In the morning, Anbu informed Naruto that Hiruzen 'woke' up. So he started making his way. He wanted to walk to see how the villagers had changed after his clones saved many of them. He has gotten many warm greetings and received many gifts.

After reaching the hospital, he thought 'hypocrites.' Then he went inside to visit Hiruzen. Everyone bowed with respect while he was walking. Eventually, he reached a special room with many Anbu and seals placed, scanning a person's chakra for an intruder. He went inside and saw Hiruzen was talking with Asuma and Konohamaru and smiling happily. Then, Hiruzen saw Naruto enter and turned to look at Naruto, and said:

" The hero finally arrives. So you didn't even tell your sensei that you know {Wood Style} ?" Asked mockingly.

Asuma turned towards him with a sour face, but he sighed after remembering watching his fight with Shukaku.

Naruto scratched the back of his head and said: "Well, Jiji, I wanted to surprise you in the Chunin exams, but I guess I did, ha?" then he laughed.

Hokage looked at his disciple and thought, ' I am proud of how he grew up. He never did cause me any trouble, and he always treated me like a grandfather. I even heard that Naruto supplied me with {Mystic Palms} all night. So I guess it's time for me to give him something in return and treat him right.'

( Don't get close to Hirizen; he will die, so you better harden your heart if you like him. He 'changed' because of what Naruto did)

Hokage laughed and said: "Alright, just teasing you. Be careful; many people would love to hurt you... But let's leave the depressing matter aside. Come here, and let's talk."

Asuma and Konohamaru left. And Naruto and Hokage talked happily for some time. Then, the door opened after a while, and Naruto already knew who it was; it was his supposed godfather.

Jiraiya came in and saw his sensei and his godson talking happily. He said: "It's good to see you are doing well, sensei; I heard that Naruto eased your pain."

Hiruzen saw Jiraiya coming inside and sitting next to Naruto. The atmosphere was awkward since both Jiraiya and Naruto didn't know each other while they were supposed to be godfathers and godsons.

Hiruzen then introduced Jiraiya " Naruto. This is your senior Jiraiya, One of the Sannin. I have taught him during the second shinobi war, and he is an excellent shinobi."

Naruto bowed and said, " Hello, Jiraiya-senpai." and turned to Hiruzen. Then, unfortunately, the atmosphere turned awkward again.

Jiraiya changed the topic and said: "Naruto said that you have around 2 weeks to live unless he could study the sword, but as intelligent as Orochimaru summoned it away. Naruto said he didn't know how long it would take to study the poison and search for an antidote. So I decided to find Tsunade. What do you think?"

Hiruzen thought of ways to bring Tsunade back since it would benefit Konoha and said: " I agree, but she left of her own will, so how can she come back?"

Jiraiya thought for a while and said: " I will figure it out. She should know that her sensei would die if she couldn't come back. Finally, Naruto here can help us since he probably has the blood of Senju. Many people gave up Senju's name and married outside civilians, so Naruto probably has at least a small percentage of Senju's blood which caused him to awaken his bloodline or something. So I will take him with me to find Tsunade and convince her to come back to Konoha."

Naruto narrowed his eyes to Jiraiya and said: "Jiraiya-san, I am the HEAD of the Uzumaki clan and also head of the medical department while being the current Jinchuriki of Nine Tails; yes, I know I am not stupid, for god sake. So, please show me respect and do not make my decisions without consulting me, and do you really think after showing the world my {Wood Release} it would be a good idea to leave?"

Hiruzen sighed since he knew Naruto respects people who respect him and is proud of his achievements. Jiraiya awkwardly chuckled; he is not for formalities and said: "Sorry Naruto-..san, I too got excited. What do you think we should do?"

Naruto thought for a while and said: " I will leave my Wood Clone and will come with you. But after bringing her back, I need at least three years since I am going to train with my summons for Senjutsu."

Jiraiya almost slipped from sitting after hearing Naruto had summons since he wanted him to sign the Toad contract.

Jiraiya thought, ' what will I do now? I thought Minato was [Son of Prophecy] but learned he is the father of [Son of Prophecy]. So the toads gave me a mission to make find [Son of prophecy] and make him sign their contract and guide him.'

[A/N: Oh, it seems something is going on with the toads]

Jiraiya asked, " Who are your summons."

Naruto replied: " Lions."

Hiruzen thought, 'Of course, it matches his personality and pet.'

Jiraiya was sad, but he could still guide him, so he nodded his head.

Naruto said: " Good, we will tomorrow, it will give me en…."

He turned serious and said: "Enemy attack. Itachi Uchiha and some other nin with monstrous chakra, around Buji level… I will leave" Then Naruto left.

Hiruzen and Jiraiya turned serious. Finally, Hiruzen said: " Protect the Hokage building and inform the Anbu to evacuate. We don't know if this is another invasion. Naruto can handle himself." Then Jiraiya left.

Hiruzen lay down on the bed and thought, 'Why is everyone attacking Konoha? *sigh* I just want peace.' After informing the Anbu, who guarded him while worrying about the future, he closed his eyes.

------------------------> At Itachi fighting

Everyone is heavily injured, and Kakashi goes into a coma. Only Kurenai is standing; she has grown strong since training with Naruto. She had a natural affinity with Yin; she found out.

Asuma, next to her, was pretty beaten up fighting against that shark-like person.

Kurenai looked at the person welding a giant sword on his back. He didn't even use it when he fought. Then she looked at the other person, who is Itachi Uchiha. But, of course, she didn't look at his eyes; she had been looking at his nose and body.

Kurenai couldn't do anything since whenever she released a Genjutsu, Itachi would either break them or inform his partner next to him. She can only fight them in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, so she got beaten slightly.

Suddenly she noticed the person with shark-like features rushing towards her, then raised his leg and was about to kick *boom* but was sent back flying when another figure appeared in front of her.

He has a handsome face with red hair and those familiar yet beautiful red eyes as they were staring at her. She knew who it was

Naruto said: " ~Kureani, you really need to pay attention."
