Naruto Named Successor----------------------------------
As Tsunade stood facing the villagers of Konoha her heart seemed to skip a beat. As she predicted almost the entire town showed up to hear what she had to say. The few who didn’t were probably sick, or out of town for missions. ‘Jeese I forgot how many people live here in the village,’ Tsunade thought as she surveyed the mass of nervous people standing before her.
“Today is a very special day. Today, I one of the three Sannin of Konoha, and your hokage, come before you to announce some very urgent news. First, I wish to inform you all that I have chosen a successor , who shall replace me when I retire in a few weeks.” She informed the crowd of people gathered around the stage.
Startled gasps and whispers spread through the crowd like wildfire. Some people though that it was too soon for her to retire and others that it wasn’t soon enough. Fighting looked like it was about to break forth when Tsunade spoke again, and everyone stopped to hear the rest of what their hokage had to say.
“Second is the fact that I wish to notify you all of something very important. Something only myself, the other Sannin, and a select few were aware of. The Fourth Hokage Arashi, had, had a child before he died. It was into his own child, that he decided to seal the wretched demon fox that had tormented and attacked our village for more then 200 years. His son Uzumaki Naruto, has returned to the village after he and Jiraiya, left to train for two years. It is also young Uzumaki Naruto who I have chosen to name my successor." Tsunade said and then prepared for the uproar she knew the news would bring.
With this statement burst of outrage could be heard from in the crowd. Yells and shouts of how could she let the demon take over as Hokage?? Could be heard over and over again.
“QUIET!!!!!!!!!!” Tsunade shouted at the top of her lungs.
The crowd heard Tsunade shout. And so they slowly settled into silence. Then when everyone was again silent Tsunade began to speak once more.
“I do not care what you say about me. But no one is to question my authority as Hokage. Arashi sealed the Kyubi into his son knowing full well the choice he was making. And he wanted you to see his son as a hero who helped to save this village. But instead you all chose to treat him as an outcast. All his life the boy was beaten and tormented by you for a crime he never even committed. Naruto when he was eleven, finally was told the truth of what he was and what he had sealed inside of him. He was told by Mizuki, a former academy teacher, Who is now under high alert in Konoha’s prison as a class A criminal. He told Naruto that he was the Kyubi. This was the time that Naruto stole the sacred scrolls. In the scroll that he had, Naruto had the power to release the power of the Kyubi, and he might have except for one mans words. Iruka if you are present I would like you to come forth.”
Immediately Iruka appeared on the stage where Tsunade was giving her speech.
“Iruka was the very first person to treat Naruto as an actual human being instead of the creature that was housed within him. He was Naruto’s teacher, and his friend. If not for the words that Iruka said that day, we would all be dead, and the Kyubi would be rampaging once more.” “Then Naruto joined the ranks of the genin. He was assigned to Kakashi as one of the three man cells. Together with Sakura Haruno, and Sauske Uchiha he was able to overcome the first and second half of the chunin exam. As you all witnessed I am told that in the chunin exam he released some of the Kyubi’s chakra and maintained hold of himself. Because of this he was able to defeat Neji Hyuga in combat. Then later while Orochimaru was fighting with the third…Naruto was busy fighting against Gara of the village hidden in sand. The very Gara that is now their Kazakage. He fought then and was able to summon the toad lord Gamabunta. He fought against the two tail demon that Gara had had sealed inside himself and won. Then after Sauske left the village in search of power, Naruto swore to bring him back. Naruto was able to confront Sauske but he lost the battle and was wounded. Naruto and Sakura accompanied Jiraiya as he tried to track down Orochimaru. They saved the Kazakage from death by going on a rescue mission to the country of sand, and faced the Akatsuki on countless occasions. Naruto was even being targeted by the Akatsuki at the time.” Further more it was Naruto who was the one to retrieve Sauske Uchiha. But in doing so he faced the wrath of Sauske’s sharingan and was tormented for days in his mind. After about half a year since his return to the village Naruto suddenly disappeared. I told all of his concerned friends that he was away on a mission. The truth was I had no idea were he had gone. Sauske didn’t believe me and began searching for him. He found Naruto several weeks later huddled in a cave high in the Konoha mountains shivering and twitching . He immediately informed me of his where about and I sent ten Anbu to retrieve him. Naruto in the process of being recovered wounded all ten Anbu soldiers. Sauske informed me of the exact torture he had placed Naruto through. I was shocked and ordered that Naruto immediately began to go through mental rehabilitation. It took him four months to recover from the torment that he had been put through by the sharingan, but he did recover. But soon after he recovered Jiraiya requested that the boy be placed into his care. I was hesitant at first but finally I agreed. Soon after Naruto and Jiraiya left the village to begin there training. They were gone for roughly two years, give or take a few days.” “Jiraiya it is time that you informed everyone here exactly what it was you trained Naruto in over those two years.”
Jiraiya stood and began to speak.
“Over the two years that Naruto was in my care I trained him in many things. I thought him many new jutsu, how to use the many different weapons we have at our disposal. But the true thing that I was teaching Naruto to do was to control more and more of the demon fox's power. When we left I knew that Naruto could tap into and control the power until four tails manifested themselves. One he reached this point Naruto would lose control and be taken over by the evil beast that was sealed inside himself. Over the first year we got to the point where he could release eight of the nine tails without losing control, but the ninth, meant that the Kyubi would submit to Naruto and totally integrate itself with him. Meaning if it did that Naruto would gain all the Kyubi’s power and it would never have a chance to be free. So whenever the ninth and final tail manifested the Beast became a frenzy. It wouldn’t submit to Naruto no matter what. We spent half a year trying to figure out what to do when it came to us. Naruto’s natural chakra seemed to be stronger than the Kyubi’s. When he first brought forth the nine tail he completely transformed he was in essence the nine tailed demon fox, but the poisonous chakra that was leaking out of his body wasn’t able to damage him ,and after a time the fox subsided and the ninth tail would disperse giving Naruto total control once more. Right before our return to Konoha Naruto went inside his mind using the fake sleep jutsu. There he battled against the Kyubi for supremacy. Naruto was successfully able to seal the Nine tailed Kyubi, and he forced it to submit to his will. There is no longer any threat from the Kyubi that now slumbers inside Naruto.” “When he recounted his tale to me afterward, he explained that because his chakra was stronger and able to counteract the poisonous Chakra of the Kyubi’s. All he did was flood his own Chakra into the Kyubi. Once inside it started to purify the Kyubi’s chakra and turn it into Naruto’s own. Now there is no chance for the Kyubi to use the power, because the power is no longer the Kyubi’s. He acts more like a vessel that hold chakra for Naruto. I know this because when the final battle took place I watched over Naruto. If he had not succeeded in Sealing the Kyubi’s power, and was taken over., I would be dead right now.”
Then while standing in front of the entire town Jiraiya removed his shirt to show the wound that he had received when Naruto had fought the final battle. Even though Tsunade has headed it The was a gaping hole that had barley any skin over it. It was a deep and seemed to be a permanent scar.
“This is the wound that threatened my life and this is the reasons we hastily made our return to Konoha. I was going to teach Naruto to draw out the full power that now sleeps within him but another matter came to be. Naruto discovered his father’s identity. Naruto told me before we left for Konoha that the Kyubi was the one who had told him who his father was. The Kyubi said that it was going to punish Konoha and Naruto for what his father did to it. Naruto had told it that he didn’t know what it was talking about. The Kyubi seemed to find it ironic that the Fourth had chosen to seal it into his own son. Upon our return to Konoha Naruto and I met with Tsunade. This brings us to the final reason for the town meeting.”
Then stepping back down and returning once more to his chair Tsunade began to once again speak.
“Ninja of the Village hidden in the Leaves. I have discussed this with many of the other Ninja Countries these last few weeks. The last country that I discussed this with was the that of the Sand. We all fear that we are on the edge of war.”
Startled the villagers let out gasps began to shout questions.
“QUIET!!!” Tsunade shouted once more and immediately the crowd silenced.
“Now as I was saying we fear that we are on the edge of war. A new country was formed five months ago. The Country of Shadow. Their Head ninja, the Shadakage, has refused to talk with any of the other countries. What’s more, two months ago they attempted to steal Orochimaru’s forbidden scrolls. However we intercepted them and they did not manage to achieve there goal. But when we went to interrogate the Ninjas we had captured we had found that they had escaped our prison and disappeared.” “We have a witness who claims to have seen them disappear into the shadows on the ground around themselves.” “We are dealing with highly trained Ninja, we have barely any information on what types of jutsu they use or how they could infiltrate us so easily. What’s more the fact remains that we may be dealing with Ninja who have trained in secret for the sole purpose of fighting and killing. They seem to have a mastery over Shadow jutsu. It it’s a highly unknown jutsu, with many mysteries shrouding it. I have only ever see the Nara clan use a type of Shadow jutsu. And the jutsu the witness depicts is far superior to that of what the Nara family practices. We may have to deal with Ninja who very well could appear, kill and then disappear into the shadows themselves. So at this time, why have I chosen to step down as Hokage??” “I have chosen to step down because I believe with every once of my being that The son of the Fourth is the only one capable of protecting this village if we do indeed have to go to war. So it is with great pleasure that declare Naruto the next Hokage. The Ninja council has agreed. And therefore he will be the future hokage. Currently he is off training and preparing for the coming war. He was given the sacred scrolls earlier this morning when I presented him the title of future hokage. Everyone who has gathered here today, may the new Hokage protect you all and serve well the name UZUMAKI.”
Then Tsunade turned and walked off the stage, followed closely by Jiraiya. The crowd that formed remained quite for sometime chatting amongst themselves. ‘Could it be true?? Could the Fourth really have sealed the Kyubi into his own son. Was Naruto truly in control of the Kyubi. So many questions were being shot at one another that the villagers didn’t notice the twelve people who seemed to sink into the ground. That is all of the village except one. Sauske who was surveying the villagers from a far saw the twelve start to sink. Reacting he leapt from his perch on top the rooftop and dove straight into the startled villagers. Then just as the final man was about to sink fully into the ground Sauske grabbed a hold of him and yanked him back into the air. Then without a word Sauske sealed the man's chakra with one of the Anbu’s capture jutsus. Picking up the struggling ninja, Sauske flipped him onto his back and landed a quick kick to his temple. That did it. The unknown ninja’s eyes rolled backwards and he passed out unconscious.
“SAUSKE!!!! Shouted a voice from outside the crowd.
Startled by what they had just seen the villages in unison turned to see who was shouting for the man who had just captured the unknown ninja. Standing just outside the crowd was Naruto and Sakura.
‘Oops thought Naruto as he saw all the villagers ahead of him. ‘What are they all doing here?? Did I miss a memo or something.’
“Sakura why is everyone out here??” Naruto asked.
“I don’t know. SAUSKE WHATS GOING ON!?” she shouted as the villagers began to whisper and point at Naruto.
“Naruto!! Quick get on top of he roof I’ll be up in a second.” Sauske shouted.
Too late the initial shock of seeing Naruto had worn off and now he was being crowded around, having his hand shaken. Asked if he really had sealed that accursed Kyubi for good.
Startled by the massive wave of people confronting him and shaking his hand all Naruto was able to do was answer their questions. Finally after it seemed like he had shaken every villagers hand at least twice, Sakura pushed her way through the crowd and grabbed hold of him.
“Naruto what’s going on?? Why is everyone acting all weird? Why does everyone know you’re the Fourth’s son and want to shake your hand and keep asking about the Kyubi???” She asked startled.
Naruto could only shrug. “Your guess is as good as mine.” He replied as he shook another persons hand.
“NARUTO!!! Get up on the roof you idiot. You can meet and greet with the villagers some other time. Like at you initiation. Right now we have to talk.” Sauske shouted from the rooftop.
“Ok Sauske. I’ll be up in a second.” Naruto called back. Then turning Naruto whispered into Sakura’s ear. “Sakura get ready to Body Flicker.” then without waiting to confirm she had heard him or not, Naruto lifted Sakura into the air and Flickered to the roof where Sauske was waiting.
As Tsunade stood facing the villagers of Konoha her heart seemed to skip a beat. As she predicted almost the entire town showed up to hear what she had to say. The few who didn’t were probably sick, or out of town for missions. ‘Jeese I forgot how many people live here in the village,’ Tsunade thought as she surveyed the mass of nervous people standing before her.
