023 School Enrollment ( 2 )

Back at home ,

Naruto lazily laid on his bed. Looking closely at the house , it is decorated with some beautiful paintings and exquisite furniture. Although not as luxurious as some small family houses it is still better than the gloomy atmosphere in the original Story. And all of this is achieved because of his extraordinary display of talent . As soon as he starts to 'proficiently' use transformation techniques , he will go around the village disguised as some adult and in exchange for some labor , will earn some extra pocket money and the same disguise he will just purchase some necessity commodities.

Meanwhile , Hiruzen is busy with all office works plus the two sided pressure of ongoing WAR and NOBLE's unreasonable demands can't take enough time to breathe a sigh of relief , let alone being free to correct Naruto's approach towards villagers . Even , the Anbu guarding him is reduced to a single person per shift as the lack of strong man power has started to affect the overall result in the frontier battle and every single person monitoring him is at least of special Jonin rank ( half step jonin ). So under the lack of proper planning and Naruto's incognito life , the rumor about the incarnation of demon fox has become a lot less.

Naruto was sleeping at home when a knock over the door interrupted his sleep . After sitting up he didn't go out to look for the visitor but first checked the opponents chakra signature with his Kagura heart Technique . Soon a multi-colored chakra appeared in front of his perception , it is excluding a sunny atmosphere but deep within dwells the deepest darkness . He is the temporary Hokage of the Konoha village , Sarutobi Hiruzen. Naruto jumps from his bed while murmuring :

"Is he finally free to come to me ?? "

Glancing around he found a book in the dustbin can , after a moment of hesitation he took it out and spitting a little rubbed the cover with his saliva and opening a random page , read a little outline of it and then walked out of the room to greet the guest.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has no idea what Naruto was doing inside as the only surveillance person is monitoring from a distance and even if he was close by , can he look through the walls ?? Opening the apartment lock a serious naruto appeared in his sight , his hands are holding the autobiography of ' Sarutobi Sasuke' , the face has a look of annoyances as his most important activity is interrupted. For a moment , Hiruzen thought his years of hard work had finally paid off. Nine-tails jinchuriki has been brainwashed by his family's will , and really made some bloody money .

"ohh , is it Grandpa third hokage ?? Did you come to visit me ?? " Naruto asked with a sincere smile.

" Well , Yes . I brought you a little souvenir this time." Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in the hall and put a letter on the table .

" What is this ??" Naruto already knew this was a letter of recommendation for Ninja academy but still with a curious expression unsealed the envelope knot .

" This is....." Suddenly, Naruto exclaimed in a loud voice as not expecting such a precious gift .

" Congratulations , Naruto . You are selected by the village to be a student of the Ninja Academy " Nobody has reported to him that Naruto already knows about his enrollment , so unknowingly he gave a cheerful blessing which he thought was full of warmth for a 6 year old child.

" Thank you , Grandpa Third Hokage . I will definitely study hard to become the next hokage "

" Ohh ? You want to become a hokage ?? "

" Yes , only when you become Hokage then , you can help Grandpa in sharing the difficult pressure . Also , i don't have to use transformation techniques at all while roaming in the village "

"Naruto , i think you have some misunderstanding about hokage . The one who became hokage is not the person village came to recognise but the one who is recognised by the village is Hokage " Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was serious but his heart was full of bliss . This child is thinking about my problems , Really sweet. I might as well train him as my Successor , otherwise the two children at home are really useless. The eldest one has become an alcoholic since losing his unborn son while the youngest one has forgotten about his family and indulged in guarding the Nobles and flirting with their daughters. If I make any of the two Hokage , i don't know if my konoha will be sold by them. But this child is pretty much perfect Talented , Mature , Smart and Obedient to my will . I just need time to grow up plus some connections other than the identity of 4th Hokage . Umm , Why not make a class full of Major family Heirs centre on him .

Naruto didn't know Hiruzen had a change of heart toward him but even though he knows , it will not change anything. From the day Naruto was born , he has already made a sure to kill list and Hiruzen has already entered the ranks in the top 5 . If hiruzen could perceive the emotions in Naruto's heart , he will be definitely shocked to find out ; this child's heart has already dead set to kill him. The appearance of his cute nature is pure mirage to pull him to the abyss deep below.

" So , Little Naruto will you promise me to make a lot of friends at the school ?? " Sarutobi further added

" But having Grandpa Hokage as my friend is enough for me " Naruto said with an innocent face but deep down his expression was a sneer.

" Listen to me , Grandpa Hokage is also busy working in the office before You grow up . And you will also feel lonely after being left alone for a long time "

" How about it , You make FIVE friends at the school and i will give you a little surprise?? "

" What's the surprise ?? " Naruto pretends to have shining stars in his eyes

" Just give you a clue ... It's a special Ninjutsu" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a low voice while teasing Naruto.

" But i want to learn a ninjutsu of my choice and in exchange i will make 10 friends at the school, Deal ?? " Naruto said while extending his hands for a shake

" Deal !! " Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded his head as he shook Naruto's not so big but not so small hands .

Suddenly , an Anbu appeared out of thin air and after giving a whisper in Hiruzen's ears left at the same speed .

" Ok , Naruto.. The frontier battle army has returned to the village triumphantly . I guess , we will continue our meeting some other day . Bye !! " Speaking of which Hiruzen also disappear in thin air .

Naruto look at the leaving back of two persons with a mocking expression, did you believe what i show you ?? Sarutobi Hiruzen you are really getting old , even your instincts as an old fox didn't kick in such important things .

....

Meanwhile,

Uchiha Clan land ,

A family of four plus an invited guest were celebrating thier returns to the village . The head of family, Fugaku was looking at his eldest son with satisfaction , the strongest genius of his family that can even go on toe to toe with Shisui in a real fight . However, looking at the person sitting next to him his face can't help but twitch. It seems the God was too partial when giving him two child , the eldest become the monster among genius graduating at the mere age of 6 while the younger one is only expert in selling cuteness to his elder brother and other than that he is only a bit talented when compare to other clan childern. But this is still his child whether talented or not , what does matter is if he can live in a peaceful era . Thinking of this he shook his head and ask Shisui sitting to left of his table .

" Did you find out what cause your Mangekyo to regresss ??"

" No , Lord Patriarch. I have even consulted a few clans in and outside the konoha but they can't find out any special records of this happening"

" Even the nara family medicine seems venerable in front of this condition . However, I can sometimes vaguely feel that the Mangekyo can be reawakened but it will be without any special abilities " Shisui said in a respectful tone but the bitterness on his face was unconcealed.

Fugaku didn't speak but slowly touch his own eyes . 'Will i also lose it ?? ' He think in his head but a more bitter voice interrupted his thoughts.

" Big brother , Shisui elder Brother, You must go with me to Next week's School ceremony.."

" Huh ?? We will surely" Itachi said in a warm tone while caressing Sasuske's head.

" What happened?? " Shisui didn't promo but notice the strangeness in his voice

" There is someone, i want you to beat for me " Sasuke blurred out unconsciously which made everyone's hand holding chopsticks stop.

" DID , someone bully you ?? " Itachi has a concerned tone but a strong sense of blood thirst overlapped the cheerful atmosphere.

"Itachi!!!! " Fugaku roared in a loud tone making Itachi come back to his senses

"Sorry , Lord Father . I lose a little control" Itachi bow with a guilty head

" You are spoiling Sasuke too much . Did you thought who he wants to beat ?? No , but promised him directly. At this rate he will never walk out of your Shadow "

" But Lord Fath... " Itachi wanted to argue but Fugaku spoke further intreputing his words.

" The person he wants to beat is a child , Several months younger than him .. "

" Pardon , Lord Patriarch. Is sasuke bullied by a child younger than him ?? " Uchiha Shisui asked in a puzzled tone .Even the faces of Uchiha Mikoto and Itachi were left stunned.

To know sasuke is a well known genius in HIS AGE group and even his strength is not lower than an ordinary adult male but even he will encounter a monster stronger than him , strange right ??

" Is this person a genius or the heir of some clan ?? × 2 " Uchiha Itachi and Shisui asked at the same time

" Shisui , you are called the strongest in Uchihas While Itachi is called the no. 1 genius after Lord First hokage and Ancestors Uchiha Madara. What do you think the reason is ?? " Fugaku didn't answer but counter with another question

" Those are some exaggerated rumours.... " Shisui said with a blushing face

" I want to hear your true thoughts " Fugaku said with a dominance

" Well ,if you say Patriarch then , one of the cause is our special blood and the high purity in my and Itachi's body and Secondly , the guidance of seniors like Patriarch and other clan elders while the last reason could be we are indeed a little talented " Shisui said with a serious yet respectful face .

" Anything else ?? "

" Sorry , But i can't think of it ". Shisui replied

" So if you haven't my family guidance then , what possible point you might have reached by now ?? "

" If we are left alone then , ummm.... Probably Special Jonin in a few more years ... " Shisui was going to speak but stopped in middle

" Patriarch is the child in our talk , probably a civilian or an orphan ?? " Shisui caught the main clue

" Well done , as expected of Shisui . That person is indeed an orphan . In fact , you have meet him " Fugaku praised Shisui's quick witness

" I have meet ?? But i don't remember anything about?? " Shisui pondered his memories but no such a figure appeared in it.

" Hey Sasuke can you tell me how he looks like ... " The silent Itachi spoke in a soft voice but Fugaku already knew he is having a hard time holding his emotions inside.

" He... He... yellow hair .. " Sasuke mumbled feeling the death gaze of his father.

" Husband , Is he .....?? " Uchiha Mikoto asked in a shivering tone

" Yes !! That one " Fugaku said in a low voice but it was enough for Mikoto to lose her composure. After all, it has been so long since she has seen him . He might have grown up a lot by now , probably much like her sister.

"Itachi & Sasuke , You aren't allowed to bully him in the future . Also , try to be as friendly as you can be with him " Uchiha Mikoto said in a commanding tone unlike her usual nature

This kind of change made the brother trio stunned , they didn't expect their mother/aunt to side with an outsider and even behaveing with them in an angry tone . Though there are grievances in thier heart but they can only Nod their head honestly.
