The next morning day…

After the meeting Kakashi was walking by the best dango shop in town with his face buried in a certain orange book, when suddenly he heard someone call out his name. After a quick look from side to side he noticed Anko, Kurenai, and Asuma were sitting down in the dango shop with few other people conversing about the event that took place three days ago in the stadium. He then casually walked up to them and said, “Yo, what are you guys talking about? “

“Hello Kakashi still perverted I see. We're just talking about the fight between the kid and Jiraiya-sama, and filling Hayate, Yuugao, Iruka, and Ibiki in on the details on the fight.” Said Kurenai with venom in her voice as she mentioned perverts.

“Eh, Iruka why are you here since I know you didn't take a mission?” asked Kakashi to a man who had a scar across his nose.

“Well you see at that time I was teaching the academy students since most of the teachers left to watch the fight?” explained Iruka in a bitter tone since he heard it was one hell of a fight and he missed it.

“Ne Kakashi, they were going to decide which rank Naruto earned last night right?” asked Asuma earning a nod from the scarecrow, “You were there right? I mean it's not like your gonna miss something like that seeing its direct connection to the Yondaime so can you tell us if he made Chuunin or Jounin?” finished Asuma. His question made everyone listen carefully anxious to know the rank of a shinobi who had defeated a Sannin let along the strongest of the Sannin of all people. Most people were wondering solely to see if they might be able to work with the kid, especially Kurenai and Anko who thought both thought he was really cute, and likely to turn into a real looker as he grows.

Kakashi couldn't wait to the see the look on everyone's faces so he put his left hand on his head band and said, "Well the majority of the people on the council didn't want him to be either Chuunin or Jounin," this earned him more than a few questioning looks from everyone present before he then said, "So Hokage-sama asked Hiashi-sama for his opinion first. Hiashi then said that he wanted Naruto to be the last Sannin annnnnnnnnnnnnd everyoneinthecouncilagreed." said Kakashi quickly bringing out his sharingan to memorize the look on their face. "ahhhh, priceless" thought Kakashi while smiling under his mask.

Everyone had their jaw on the floor and after couple of seconds later Asuma finally spoke up "Yo-you aren't pulling our legs are you Kakashi?" Asked Asuma who was baffled by Kakashi's response.

"Y-yeah, I mean there are already three Sannin, so it would be weird to have another Sannin and still call them Sannin and not Yonnin or something." retorted a confused Iruka.

"Hmm, did you guys say something?" retorted the copy nin making people sweat-drop while he was still smiling under his mask.

Kurenai enraged by his idiotic answer punched him in the back of the head and yelled, "BAKA, answer the question already!"

"No, I am not pulling your leg Asuma. He was elected as the new sannin and for your information Iruka, Orochimaru lost his title the day he abandoned leaf. So now Naruto is elected to fill his place and we all know that he deserves it, if his battle with Jiraiya-sama was any indication." Concluded the perverted Jounin with a smirk while rubbing the lump on his head.

Anko smirked and said, "Well then I guess next time we see the gaki we'll have call him Naruto-sama, now wont we?"

Deciding to pull her legs, the one-eyed Jounin said, "Wouldn't you like that Anko?" this earned him a glare from a slightly blushing Kurenai and an intense blush from Anko before she snapped.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN KAKASHI?" Shouted the Snake Mistress while hurling Dango sticks at the pervert's crotch causing him to hide behind Ibiki who casually caught them all like it was an everyday occurrence.

"Oh nothing, nothing at all." with that he rushed off before she got serious and started throwing Kunai, because even Ibiki has a limit to what he'll do for a comrade and getting between them and a pissed off Anko with a Kunai is WAY past that limit.

The rumor about Uzumaki Naruto being the third Sannin spread like a wild fire. Civilians didn't really care since they thought it was only a rumor while the shinobi section knew that it was most likely the truth since most of them saw the match three days ago and the rest at least heard about it, and they were all actually kind of happy to know that Konoha produced another strong shinobi and finally had it`s third Sannin. They were also hoping that Naruto doesn't end up like Itachi and go nuts killing everybody.

Noon at the Hokage Tower…

Naruto and the Hokage could be seen in front of a huge vault that was filled with hundreds of different kinds of jutsu. Naruto was in awe by the sheer amount of jutsu in one place since he never had had the chance to see this place even if he was the Hokage's apprentice, he would usually get scrolls from the Hokage to practice on his own. The only time his sensei would help him was during Taijutsu training since instruction was key to learning Taijutsu.

In the vault there were five different sections. Each section labeled as Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Kinjutsu, and Kenjutsu. This got Naruto excited since he wanted to be a master of Kenjutsu since he loved the feel of a blade in his hands, but he never got to learn anything beside the basics of Kenjutsu considering the fact that the Sandaime was only proficient in kenjutsu and not good enough to teach someone who wishes to become a master of it.

“Sensei, since you said that I should be a Kenjutsu master, how come I never got to learn anything beside the basics?” asked a confused Naruto.

The old man then looked at Naruto and smiled before saying, “You see Naruto the reason I only taught you the basics, is because I want you to create your own style of Kenjutsu that could only be considered unique to you. So I taught you the basics because you'll use them to build your style up from there, which is what any true kenjutsu master has. His own style. Now do you see why I only taught you the basics?“ asked the Hokage getting a nod from Naruto. Then the Hokage started to walk toward the subsection of the Ninjutsu section, which contained the Summoning contracts of Konoha. The section had all the summoning contracts not currently being used; as if he wanted one of those he'd need the current contract holders permission. “Ok, Naruto-kun this is my gift to you, you may now pick one of the four currently unused summoning contracts as every Sannin has their own summon animal. The ones to choose are The Boar, The Bear, The Bird, and The Lizard.“

As Naruto looked at them he couldn't help but feel a pull to the corner of the room. As he approached the corner he noticed there was a small dusty scroll on the shelf. Slowly picking it up he dusted it off and saw the Kanji for Phoenix, it was the contract for summoning The Phoenix Clan. “Sensei, I chose this one.” He said casually while waving the small scroll in the air.

"Ok Naruto, which summon is that?" asked the old man.

"Phoenix" was all Naruto said making the Hokage look at him in shock. Noticing the shock of his sensei he asked, "What's wrong Sensei?"

"I think you should pick another summon Naruto, all of the previous holders of Phoenix contract died. They couldn't pass the test given by the boss and in return they were burned to a crisp." He said before looking at Naruto with a worried look on his face since he knew Naruto was never one to back down from a challenge. `Naruto-kun you are amazingly strong, but are you strong enough to pass the test is the question?' thought the old Kage.

"I-I-I was drawn to it sensei. I don't know how to explain it, but I know that I'm meant to have this. So I guess I'll be the first holder of the Phoenix contract who lives to tell the tale, now won't I?" Naruto said with a confident smirk on his face, and a voice full of pure guts and determination making his sensei sigh.

"If that's your choice Naruto, then lets go to a safe area away from Konoha for you to practice the jutsu." Said the Hokage in a resigned tone, knowing there is no way to talk the blond out of this when he's like this, with that both left in a swirl of leaves.

With Naruto and his sensei standing in a clearing about ten miles outside of Konoha, the Hokage told him to take out the scroll and write his name in blood on the scroll and his bloody hand print on it. Naruto opened the scroll and saw the names of about ten people written in blood that was now black, so he assumed they were hopefuls who failed the test given to them. He then proceeded to cut his thumb and write his name on the scroll and put his handprint on the bottom of it. Naruto closed the scroll and quickly sealed it in his carrying scroll, before he stood up to look at the Hokage.

"Alright Naruto, now I want you to do the hand seals for Kuchiyose, then mold a massive amount of chakra I'd say a quarter of your reserves could summon three Gamabunta's and he takes about the most chakra to summon of all the summon bosses, then you'll find out if you past the test exactly how much to use to summon the boss. Then place the hand you used on the contract to where you want to summon." Explained the aged kage.

Naruto nodded in understanding then went through sets of seal gathering a massive amount of chakra then slammed his right hand in the ground shouting, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu." Suddenly a 40-foot in diameter section of the clearing was set ablaze making the Hokage hastily jump out of the way to avoid being burned. Under Naruto's feet a portal made of fire opened up and from it rose what seemed like a giant bird made purely of fire, but if you look closely there could be seen a bird was actually inside the fire and Naruto was standing in the midst of the fire on the mighty birds beak.

Under Sarutobi's keen eye he estimated the mighty Phoenix stood at a large 150 feet and as it flapped its astonishing 225 feet long wings twice the fire vanished from the ground and the bird showed itself.

When its foot touched the ground, it trembled under the bird's size. Now as the bird took in it's surroundings it folded its mighty dark red wings with orange feather sticking out into a casual position. It's brilliant orange feathers covering its body calmed down and laid back, and its once flaming tail feathers came to a rest. On top of its head were three red feather set vertically. The Phoenix then moved its gaze to look at Naruto with it's surprisingly crystal blue eyes took in the appearance of the one who summoned it before speaking "Are you the person who summoned me from my slumber?" when Naruto replied with a nod as he didn`t trust his voice due to his amazement, the Phoenix continued speaking, "My name Ruygin, the Head of the Phoenix Clan. If you want the help from my kind, you need to pass the test I shall give you.” stated the Phoenix as if reading off a script.

"So what is it I have to do Ruygin-sama?" Asked Naruto as humbly as the proud boy could, which wasn`t very humble as he held a raw determination in his eyes and voice.

"Look into my eyes boy, and tell me...what do you plan on using the power of my kin for?" asked Ruygin as he peered into Naruto's soul with glowing cold blue eyes `Hmmm I sense no corruption he may be the first…wait what's this? A demon huh? Hmm it appears to be the Kyuubi and he's desperately trying to taint the boy…amazing he's keeping the taint at bay subconsciously…he truly is a remarkable child.' Thought the mighty Summon as Naruto spoke.

"I plan on working with them to protect all those precious to me, as well as this village. Even though they shun me for a reason as of yet unknown to me. I will protect them all, because I am a Sannin of Konohagakue no Sato!" said the blonde in a voice overflowing with grit and determination as if daring the beast to question his answer, which he believed in with his whole heart and soul.

“Alright boy you pass the test.” replied the great winged bird.

“If I may ask Ruygin-sama, what was the test?” asked the young blonde as he tilted his head in confusion.

With a tremendous chuckled Ruygin responded, “Well hatchling that was a test of your soul.” Upon seeing the boy still not truly understand he sighs and continues. “If I sensed your soul was corrupt in the slightest way, or your answer untrue I would have destroyed you. You passed cause you're soul is pure, and answer true which is a must among my clan. Now I have a gift for you hatchling, roll up your left sleeve.” finished the great bird. Once Naruto complied a feather drifted from the Summons brow, before landing on the blondes forearm. Seconds later there was a red flash and the sound of flesh burning before Naruto was engulfed in his own chakra for several moments, until he fell from the Phoenix boss's beak hastily to the ground. Approximately halfway through his decent the blonde was caught by a large feather, before drifting towards a worried Hokage. Upon seeing the look of concern from the old man Ruygin decided to tell him what occurred. “Old man, the hatchling will be alright I just applied my clans unique summoning tattoo. Though I'm quite surprised, that tattoo is unique to my clan; it has a…. storage so to speak. He will be able to fill its reservoir with chakra and that is what happened. It forcibly took all the chakra it could handle from him while leaving him alive, this will allow him to summon us by merely applying blood to it and choosing the amount he wishes to use. The reason I'm surprised is that mark can hold enough to summon me five times, and counting that he already summoned me plus the tattoo itself taking about half as much as it takes to summon me just to be applied, so I`m surprised he had that much chakra in him.”

"Arigato Ruygin-sama." thanked the Hokage getting a nod from the summon. He then looked at Naruto to see him sleeping peacefully with a new addition to his arm.

"Until next time." said Ruygin disappearing in large swirl of fire.

Moments later just before the Hokage was about to leave the area a squad of Anbu appeared in front of him. All the Anbu members kneeled in front of the Hokage followed by the Captain who wore a bear mask covering his face, standing and said, "Hokage-sama, are you all right? We felt that huge chakra spike from here while on patrol and decided to come check it out, and just finished checking the perimeter. Also what happened to Naruto-sama?"

"I am alright captain. As for the chakra spike it was Naruto-kun. He took and passed I might add the test of his new Summons boss.” responded the Hokage who's voice was full of pride.

"If you don't mind me asking Hokage-sama, which summon did Naruto-sama choose?" asked a woman with purple hair and cat Anbu mask.

"Of course not. Naruto picked the Phoenix contract and became its official summoner today." The Sandaime said casually wishing he could see the looks on all their faces, because at this all the Anbu had their eyes wide since they never heard of such contract. "I would love to stay and chat, but I have to take our newest member of the Sannin to the hospital." with that the Hokage shushined out of the clearing while the Anbu continued their patrol.

The next day Naruto awoke to see a white ceiling, making him groan since he recognized where he is at the moment. `Damn, I think I should get my own room here, and maybe move in seeing as I spend the majority of my time here when I train.' thought Naruto while his mind wandered off thinking about the time when he was injured practicing jutsu, while subconsciously rubbing the new addition to the underside of his left forearm. His Sensei would always find him beaten up and unconscious in the training field from overworking himself.

Getting out of his trance Naruto decided to go to the bathroom and freshen up so he could get out of this place. As he washed his face he noticed the tattoo and recognized it as a Summoning tattoo, though it was strange he sensed a tremendous amount of chakra coming from within it. Shrugging it off as something to ask his sensei about later, he walked out of the bathroom only to see his sensei sitting in a chair while reading a certain orange book.

When Sarutobi saw Naruto, he quickly put away his book hoping Naruto didn't see it.

"There is no point in hiding it Ero-sensei, since I already knew you read those perverted books." said Naruto making the Hokage's left eye twitch; because of the nickname his student gave him.

"So where is Ero-sennin?" questioned the blonde while looking around the room.

The Hokage giving him a questioning look and said, "Who might that be Naruto?"

"Why Jiraiya-sama of course. I decided to give him a nickname as well, since he's the one who writes that smut you read." at that Sarutobi sweat dropped, and wondered how Naruto came up with these names.

"Why do you need Jiraiya, Naruto?" questioned the Sandaime curiously.

"Oh no reason, I just wanted to call him Ero-Sennin." said Naruto smiling. Causing the Hokage to face fault after hearing that.

"So, why are you here, sensei?" asked the young blonde in confusion.

"Lets go to my office so we can speak in private." With that both Sensei and student shushined to the Hokage's office where Naruto was now sitting in a chair in front of Hokage's desk who was smoking from his pipe with a solemn look on his face.

“Hey sensei I have a question.” said the young blonde trying to cut the tension in the room with a question.

"What's wrong Naruto?" asked the old Hokage, glad for his student to break the up the uncomfortable silence.

"What`s with the massive amount of chakra in this summoning tattoo?" asked the young Sannin.

“Ah that well Ruygin said that it the tattoo has a special feature unique to his clan, the tattoo has a chakra storage. This enables you to fill it up, and keep it full so you don't have to waste your chakra during battle. All you need to do is apply blood and release the amount you want to use, and so you know he said that it can hold enough to summon him five times so you'll need to use one fifth of the chakra in it to summon him.” Concluded `The Professor' as he looked at his slightly bored student. Then with a sigh he continued “Once applied it took a large amount of chakra to set, then forcibly took as much chakra as it could from you which happened to be enough to fill it up, though it left you drained.”

“YATTA I PASSED!” shouted the young blonde, which made the old man chuckle and remember that as powerful as the boy is he's still that, a boy. "Hmm I guess from now on I'll be known as Konoha's Fenikkusu Sannin Huh?" half said have asked the young blonde.

The Hokage chuckled, "Yes Naruto, you'll be known as that from now on. Now, onto what I was officially going to tell you. As a sannin you are able to do many things that normal shinobi aren't able to. A Sannin immediately assumes control of soldiers on a battlefield as the highest rank, except when the Hokage is present at the scene. Sannin usually take on an apprentice as a way to pass on their legacy, but I don't think you'll have to worry about that since you've got a long time ahead of you to worry about that. They are also able to leave the village for as long as they want, but will be considered a missing ninja if not heard from for longer than for about a year, or if they refuse a to return when sent for during war time situations. They usually attempt to get information on threats to the village when opportunity arises unless you're Jiraiya in which it's basically his soul duty other than his writing hehehe. So you see Naruto, if you want to leave the village you could, but you have to keep in touch with me every once in a while." Said Sarutobi earning a nod from Naruto.

"Is there anything else you to tell me, sensei?” said Naruto annoyed by the fact that his sensei is still not telling him about that when he was sure that now that he was a Sannin his sensei would come clean.

Hokage not knowing what Naruto was talking about said, "Hmmmmmm, not anything I can think of right now." Completely oblivious to the giant tick over Naruto's right eye.

"Oh I don't know maybe you could at least tell me that the reason I'm hated by most of Konoha is because of the Kyuubi being sealed inside me." Calmly said Naruto with a hint of annoyance in his voice, making The Hokage stare at Naruto in shock. He had totally forgot about that, but...

"H-ho-how did you know about that Naruto?" shakily questioned the Sandaime.

"Come oooon sensei, you actually thought that a seal master like me wouldn't notice a gigantic seal on his stomach?" said the blonde in a mock hurt tone. While grabbing his heart and adding “You wound me with your lack of faith in my abilities Sensei.”

"…. I see. So how long have you known?" asked the Hokage with a massive sweat drop due to the...uniqueness of his student.

Naruto sighed before he said, "Probably about a year and a half ago. My shirt got burned practicing a jutsu and when I molded chakra I saw the seal on my stomach, and after some research I found out that this was the seal made by The Yondaime and sort of just connected the dots from there."

"So, you are not mad Naruto?" wearily asked the old kage somewhat afraid of the answer.

"Well at first I was, but then I got over it. I chose to accept my destiny. I do have one question though, Why Me?" asked the young blonde.

Sarutobi had a sad face at his question, but decided to answer, "You were the only baby that was born on the day the Kyuubi attacked. The Yondaime would've used some other alternative, but there was none at the time so he decided to use a new born baby to seal the Kyuubi's away." explained Sarutobi.

"But what about my parents, why did I never know them?" at that question Hokage cringed which Naruto noticed but decided to.

"I am sorry Naruto, but we never found out who your parents were." Sarutobi lied, which was also noticed by Naruto, but he didn't press the question since he knew his sensei was a better liar than that, so he knew there was a reason for him to lie so badly.

Naruto then took out a kunai and threw it at the ceiling causing someone to fall from there, and that person just so happened to be Jiraiya.

After landing in a heap he quickly got up and said, "Oh ho Naruto, as good as ever I see."

Naruto deciding to screw with him said, "No, not really. You just suck Ero-sennin." Causing Jiraiya's left eye to twitch and start mumbling about youngsters these days have no respect for elders or something like that.

The Old Kage chuckled at his students' antics, but decided to calm them down; the only way he knew how…with the voice "Settle down now you two." He said in a voice that promised punishment if they disobeyed, after that they both looked up and he continued, "So Jiraiya-kun what are you doing here?"

"I need to leave today since I haven't been able to do any 'research' in Konoha, because someone commissioned a squad of Anbu Kunoichi to patrol the hot springs." said Jiraiya while sporting pathetic look of defeat while rubbing a phantom pain in his lower regions, while also glaring daggers at the snickering new Sannin.

“Really now I wonder who would go and do a thing like that?” Said the young blonde in a mocking tone.

"Ahem right, let me know what you discover in your research and do it fast. I don't like waiting,” said the Hokage and the chibi Hokage was currently dancing around saying `YAY, NEXT STOP ICHA ICHA PARADISE VOLUME 10!'

Before Naruto decided to cut in and ruin his happy dance said. "By research you mean peeking on women then getting the hell beat out of you, don't you Ero-sannin?" before getting a hit over the head by Jiraiya making his eyes widen slightly before he quickly schooled his features into a fake smile.

Jiraiya then yelled, "BAKA, DON'T CALL ME THAT!!”

"Why not, you are a pervert aren't you?” asked Naruto curiously while using his pinky to clean out his ear due to the Perverts loud yell of indignation.

"I AM NOT A PERVERT, I'm a SUPER PERVERT!” yelled proudly said Super Pervert making his sensei and new teammate sweat drop.

"Riiiiiiiiight, well back to business. I'm going to leave Konoha for while sensei." Casually stated the young blonde making both Jiraiya and Sarutobi look at him oddly.

The Hokage then asked what was on both their minds, "Why so sudden Naruto?"

"Well I want to create my own kenjutsu style which will take some time, and I want to get out and spread my `wings'. Don't worry though I'll be back to see the hopeful gennin due to graduate in three years. Since most of the clan heirs are in that batch, and I also want to see someone special." Naruto said with a blush while thinking of a certain red-eyed women.

This got him a curious look from both the perverts in the room. "Well Naruto I finalized your Sannin travel rights earlier today and so you're all set to go anytime." said the Hokage in a bitter tone since there was a large amount of paperwork involved in Sannin travel rights.

Naruto then got up and headed towards the door before looking back and said, "I guess this'll be last time I see you in few years ne sensei?”

"Hai Naruto" said a sad yet proud Hokage.

"Well, ja nee." with that the blonde closed the door and left.

"He'll grow up to be stronger than his father won't he sensei?" asked Jiraiya getting a nod from Sarutobi.

The next morning Naruto could be seen jumping houses speeding towards the main gate. He was kind of sad that he wouldn't be able to see the red-eyed women for some time, but knew that he could see her in a couple years, depending on when he finishes his training. As he jumped to the ground and walked up to the front gate he saw two Chuunin talking amongst themselves, not even noticing him. This caused him to sigh as he wasn't masking his presence at all nor was he trying to be stealthy at all 'Ugh, some gate keepers we have here.' thought the blonde as he made his presence known with a loud "Ahem" making the two shinobi look up.

The one with a white cloth that went across his face said," Na-nar-Naruto-sama, sorry we didn't see you there.”

"It's ok guys, but can you be a little more vigilant please? And open the gate for me?" asked Naruto before getting nod from both and when they opened the door.

The Chuunin with long hair that covered his left eye and face asked, "Are you on mission Naruto?"

"Well, I guess you could say that. So I'll see you guys in a few years." said Naruto with a smile before he vanished from sight in a burst of pure speed.

"Where do you think he`s going?” Asked the cloth covered Chuunin.

"I don't know,” said his friend. Neither knew that Konoha wouldn't be seeing the Fenikkusu Sannin, Uzumaki Naruto for 3 long years.
