This doesn't follow the canon I do not own Naruto characters. Deception is a shinobi's greatest weapon one that Naruto has used all his life putting up a mask of a weak dead last dope with no skill when that is the farthest thing from the truth. After his fight with Mizuki Naruto talks with the Hokage about his full heritage and claims his inheritance. After being tricked by the traitor and getting his inheritance Naruto decides it is time to drop the mask and to truly start taking his ninja career seriously.
