Naruto: The Successor of a God

A Gift

There stood Sarutobi Naruto with his right eye under a eye patch and his whole right side filled with red vein like burn marks but he had a mission to complete

For the remainder of the mission Naruto wore tight black shinobi pants and a black jacket. Over it both he had leather straps around his chest and legs supporting his Bo staff that was in his back on a holster. His hair grew into long straight hair making him need to tie it back into a manbun, not to mention his konoha headband was long lost

It had been a little over a week since Naruto's encounter with Itachi where he rested for two whole days and woke up with the burning sensation of the scars and the eye patch covering his useless right eye that was blood red. Jiraiya had told him that the increase seal tampering that had went on in the fight was the cause of his eye and the burns were from Itachi

Today they were asking around for information. The whole time was pure small talk with Jiraiya not daring to speak about the kyuubi and Naruto simply tired of everything and questioning his entire existence

"Naruto you're going to need to talk eventually"

"Naw fuck that we can talk back in the village with the old bastard present I want to know his input before anything you have to say that evidently wont do shit"

Jiraiya stayed quiet for a second till he thought of a idea to take Naruto's thought away from everything

"I was actually planning on teaching you a A-rank technique.....wanna see it"

This peaked Naruto's interest who looked at Jiraiya who put his palm up, slowly a blue orb the size of a small ball appeared on him. Jiraya ran at a tree and screamed "RASENGAN" The technique slowly cut threw the tree until a huge explosion caused the tree to disperse into pieces of bark

Naruto coming back to life a little grinned watching the cool technique the pervert was going to teach him but went back to his emo look when Jiraiya handed him a water balloon

"The first phase is to explode it using only your chakra manipulation"

"Hai Hai"

"LETS GO! DATTEBAYO!"

Naruto had just succeeded both the water balloon exercise and the rubber ball exercise in two weeks

"Great Naruto now all that is left is completing the actual Rasengan into your palm. This will be the hardest part but by the time we get back to Konoha I have no doubt you'll have it down"

"Thank you sensei"

"Damn gaki you only call me sensei when I actually teach you something why do you respect Itachi but not me!?" Jiraiya screamed not realizing what he had just said and expecting the worse he quivered away from Naruto but he just remained passive

"Because he was like a brother to me, same with Shisui-sensei. They both taught me to protect the village is to do it without recognition of others, to be a shadow and nothing more. To be Hokage was not to become acknowledged but to already have the acknowledgements of everyone. Not only that but they drilled the basics into me and thanks to that I was able to graduate early and work on a top spy network so I say they taught me right...Dead or Rogue"

"I see. Well that just means Im going to have to teach you even better to gain your respect gaki"

'You already have'

The duo made their way to the front gates signing in the civilians and ninja alike looked at Naruto with shocked and scared faces looking at his burn marks that were apparent on his face as well as his eye patch
