Chapter 26

[Hokage's Office]

The tension in Hokage's office could be cut with a knife. There were currently three people in the room which includes the third Hokage who was sitting in his chair behind his desk. Across Hiruzen there was Naruto who had a small smile on his face. Then there was Iruka who now had a bandage wrapped around his leg and was looking at Naruto with a strange expression that was a mixture of worry and pride.

Hiruzen had a serious expression on his face, right now many things were going through his mind. like how in the hell did Naruto breach the security of his office, Why did he intentionally fail his exams, why was he hiding his true strength and on top of that who told Naruto about the Kyuubi being sealed inside of him.

He looked at Naruto who now has a Konoha Hitaite covering his forehead, there was a small smile on blonde's face. he then noticed his somewhat destroyed clothing, his fight with Mizuki was short and direct so there must be something else that Naruto was hiding. The 'Forbidden Scroll of Seals' was now on his table. He has already checked the seals and knew that the scroll was not opened by Naruto. which means he didn't learn 'Shadow Clone Jutsu' from the Scroll.

Feeling the tension in the room Hiruzen sighed and took a large puff of weed from his pipe. He then took out the note that Naruto left behind and asked. "Naruto, I have a lot of questions for you and until I get all the answers you are not allowed to leave. Is that clear?" Naruto's smile disappeared at this and he nodded with a dull expression. "First of all tell me how did you know about Mizuki's plan and why did you not inform the proper authority." Asked Hiruzen.

'Time for bullshit I guess' thought Naruto. he looked at Hiruzen and answered with a calm expression. "For the last three years Mizuki has been treating me like shit, he would throw me out of his class for asking questions, he would use too much force in our Taijutsu spar so that I would get hurt, sometimes he would put a Genjutsu on my exam papers so that I would fail them and this is just the trailer, the list goes on. So, when he started treating me nicely, I knew something was wrong."

Everyone in the room frowned at this. If something like this happened then Hiruzen should have been notified about it. "So I started following him around with my 'Shadow clones'. Yesterday I broke into his house when he was away. there I found a letter from Orochimaru. In the letter, it was written that if he could steal the 'Forbidden Scroll of Seals' for him then Orochimaru will grant him all the resources he requires to become stronger. I tried to inform you about this but you were in the council meeting. So I went to find Iruka sensei but the academy was closed due to graduation exam preparation and since I didn't know any of your addresses I decided to act myself." finished Naruto.

"Then why did you not come to me this morning Naruto?" questioned Iruka. "Well, the entire day Mizuki sensei was keeping an eye on me, he thought that I wouldn't notice his behaviour but he was wrong, during my exam when I was about to perform the 'Clone technique' he cast a Genjutsu on me which messed up my chakra control and I ended up failing my graduation exam." Iruka's eyes widened at this as he thought 'how could I have been so blind'.

"So at that point, I failed my exams and I had a rogue ninja after me. that is when I made my plan to use this situation to my advantage and you know the rest." finished Naruto. hearing all this Hiruzen nodded and just as he was about to speak Naruto interrupted him and said. "But it is not like I would have been allowed to become a Genin even if I had passed my graduation exam." Everyone in the room frowned at this. "And why is that Naruto kun?" asked Hiruzen.

He didn't know what to do with this situation, in the end, he decided to wait. He then noticed Naruto giving him a sad smile which slightly unnerved him. "Well, my progress has always been hindered by the Civilian Council in one way or other. When I was 4 years old a member of the civilian council visited the Orphanage and the same night I was thrown out. then after you gave me my apartment and funds I went to do some shopping but they either wouldn't sell me anything or they would charge three times the price, later I found out that the head of Konoha market was a member of Civilian council. Then came the academy, at first everything was fine, teachers were treating me equally but soon the old teachers were replaced by the new ones and sabotaging began. When I started studying on my own I found out that the hiring of Academy teachers comes under the direct jurisdiction of Konoha Civilian council."

"So, I had two choices, I could either fail and live the rest of my life under Civilian council thumbs or I could take advantage of Mizuki's plan and get a field promotion that can only be granted by Hokage or his subjects to which Civilian council has not right oppose." After talking all this he was feeling thirsty, so he took out a water bottle and drank some water. (A/N: what he said about his life experience is mostly true mixed with small lies.)

Just as he finished his rambling the room was flooded with dense killing intent. He looked at Hiruzen who now had murder in his eyes "Damn those bastards, how could they have done something like that, you don't need to worry Naruto, you are hereby promoted to the rank of a Genin and as for the council they will pay for treating you like that" grumbled Hiruzen.

Hearing this Naruto smiled and thought 'Finally'. seeing Naruto's smile Hiruzen relaxed and the killing intent slowly disappeared. He still couldn't believe that all this happened under his nose. 'Seems like I have been too soft handed in my duties as Hokage, if sensei was here he would have been disappointed in me.' thought Hiruzen. Looking at Naruto who was now talking to Iruka. He then remembered Naruto's fight with Mizuki and asked: "Naruto, how much have you been hiding your true strength because the way you defeated Mizuki is clearly not what I would expect from a fresh academy student."

'Well, no better time then present in guess.' thought Naruto. He made a hand seal and in a puff of smoke, a slightly different Naruto appeared in front of them. Hiruzen was shocked at this transformation, this Naruto was much more muscular than the previous one and seems to be around 5 inches taller. It was like he was looking at an exact carbon copy of Minato. "How?" he stuttered.

Naruto than explained everything that he and Hinata chan went through in the last few months, he also told Hiruzen about the special properties of his transformation Jutsu. Which greatly excited him.

…..

By the end of his explanation, Hokage had stars in his eyes and he asked something that shocked both Naruto and Iruka. "Naruto would you like to join Anbu corps, with your mastery in transformation Jutsu you will be a valuable asset to the team." Before Naruto could think over it, an image of Hinata holding a whip flashed through his mind and a shiver went down his spine.

"Sorry Jiji but if I join the anbu then Hinata chan will whip my ass to the moon." He replied with a scared look on his face. "She has a Whip?" asked a confused Hokage, seeing Naruto nodding Hiruzen went into a small flashback 'where his wife was hitting his head with a frying pan that appeared out nowhere.' He quickly shook his head to get rid of those painfully sweet memories and looked at Naruto with a sympathetic look.

…..

"Hokage Jiji I have a request, can you put me and Hinata in the same team, we have been training together for a long time and our teamwork is phenomenal," asked naruto with a hopeful look. Hearing this Hiruzen shook his head and replied. "Sorry Naruto kun but the teams have already been selected, they can't be changed now" Naruto paled at this, if Hinata found out about this she would be sad.

Then suddenly an idea struck his mind and he stated with a regretable look. "Ah! That's a pity Hoakage Jiji and here I was thinking of giving you the technique that could eliminate every Hokage's worst enemy 'The almighty Paperwork.'" Hiruzen's eyes widened at this and he started hyperventilating. A strange pressure then started to fill the room as Hiruzen looked at Naruto with a predatory glint in his eyes. Hiruzen then disappeared from his chair and appeared right in front of our blonde hero.

"Naruto kun, if you tell me about this technique I will let you and Hinata be In the same." pleaded Hiruzen. Everyone was shocked at Hokage's sudden 180-degree turn in attitude. Naruto who was now smiling whispered those three golden words that every pervy girl wants to hear in Hokage's ears 'Shadow Clone Jutsu'.

Hearing this Hokage didn't react he just went back to his chair, he tossed the weed pipe out of the window and … "Bang" "Bang" "Bang" started slamming his head on the table.
