Burdened With Life

Chapter 5

                                                                     ~4 years later~

Hiruzen Sarutobi was having a normal day as usual. A shit ton of paperwork, a little bit of weed, his grandson Konohamaru's antics, yes life in the village had finally become somewhat normal after the Kyuubi attack. He had just finished signing all his papers and decided, why not another cigar for the morning. And maybe some porn. He made sure that no Anbu were around and pulled out an orange book called Icha Icha Paradise, reclining and taking a puff from his cigar.

He gave a perverted giggle and formed a nosebleed as he was reading a steamy part in the book. When it was getting even better he felt a strong wind right in the middle of his office and out of nowhere, a person with bright blonde spiky hair, cerulean blue eyes, a face mask covering his nose and mouth, anbu pants and sleeveless vest partially covered by a dark orange cloak with black flames at the hem appeared.

Hiruzen immediately hid his porn and tried his best to hide his shock. 'How the hell did this person enter my office without alerting any Anbu?' he thought amazed.

"Good morning lord Hokage. I mean no harm," the individual said. "Even if you did, you are in the middle of a shinobi village, now tell me who are you and why are you here?" Hiruzen asked sternly but calmly. "Do you not recognise the son of the Fourth Hokage?"

Hiruzen's eyes widened. "N-naruto?" he stuttered confused. Naruto pulled down his mask revealing his whisker marks and entire face. He had obviously grown losing his baby fat and having more defined facial features.

"Yes, who else?" Naruto replied. "W-w-what wait but you're at the academy right now w-what?" Hiruzen said in disbelief. "That is a blood clone, has been for years," Naruto stated. "W-w-what the hell is going on?" Hiruzen asked, so confused right now.

"I am the real Naruto, and I have been training myself for five years outside the village while my clone took my place," Naruto said. Hiruzen was bewildered and took another puff from his cigar. "Okay, I-I-I what?" the Third could not formulate a proper sentence, his aged brain was in overload.

"Aren't you a Hokage?" Naruto asked. This broke the Third out of his stupor and he cleared his throat. "May I ask, how this all...happened? And since you've been training in secret for years how strong are you/" Hiruzen asked.

"The Kyuubi has been training me ever since the first time I met Ms.Mikoto," Naruto said. Hiruzen was shocked once more. Naruto however continued. "Ms.Mikoto of course gave me some scrolls to learn too which contributed to my current power level. Anyways the Kyuubi also told me of my parents and then of course I got my father's scrolls then I went on training for five years. I have beaten many missing nin and bandits. Many of those nin were A rank by the way." Hiruzen's jaw was on the floor now.

"While on the trip, I received valuable information for Konoha," Naruto said which made the Third's ears perk. "Please tell me," Hiruzen said. "The Kyuubi is not bad like you all know. He was being controlled by a masked man on the night of the attack. That same masked man attacked me during my trip, and did something to my eyes, making me unlock the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan," Naruto said. At this point, the Third wasn't surprised. "Rewind a bit, how did you unlock the Sharingan?" Hiruzen asked.

"When the villagers attacked me then I unlocked the Mangekyo when Itachi killed Ms.Mikoto. I myself do not know why I have it but I do," Naruto stated.

After everything Hiruzen nodded. "I see. So how do I know I can trust you after this?" Naruto replied, "Because I intend to be Hokage and also I gave you information on the night of the Kyuubi attack."

"How do you know the Kyuubi isn't lying?" Hiruzen queried. "Because, he made me powerful," Naruto replied. "Open the bingo book and go to the Orange Flash."
