18 Chapter 18

The Day after Graduation exam, The Uchiha Clan Compound, Konohagakure

Naruto had just woken up. He had become a genin yesterday and he was to be put into a team the next day. If anything, he was sure that he would be put under Kakashi Hatake's wing. According to his father, Kakashi was one of the two strongest ninja in the village and the only person in the village who could beat him was Izuna. Kakashi was known as Copy Ninja Kakashi and Kakashi of the Sharingan by people outside the village. His lightning style could only be rivalled by Izuna, Naruto and jonin or higher Kumo shinobi. His fire style was as good as Itachi's. His water style was just as good as if not better than Kirigakure shinobi. His earth and wind style were also almost unrivalled. According to Naruto, he was the only person fit to train him.

Today, Naruto was going to get himself a long-blade made of chakra metal. That would be a perfect extension to his skills and body when he was fighting. Then he would persuade Izuna to show him a genjutsu of the best wielders of swords in history, copy them using his Rinnegan and become one of the best swordsmen in history himself. That was what he was going to do that day. He went to his bathroom, took a shower, came out and then put on a black shirt without the Uchiha crest and a black pant. His hair was spiky as usual.

He came out of his house and was about to go to the weapon's shop to get him a long blade when a Shuriken just crossed him. He was not dumb and caught it with his arm and turned around to see Mito. He frowned and said, "Why did you shoot a Shuriken at me?"

Mito just laughed and said, "'Cause you can dodge it, loser. Anyways, are you ever going to submit your form for becoming a shinobi?"

Naruto blinked in surprise. Which form was she talking about? He said, "What form?"

Mito sighed as though she this was regular and replied, "Your identification form you idiot!"

Naruto was shocked and screamed in anguish. He shivered and asked, "When is the last date to submit it?"

Mito smiled and replied, "Today."

Naruto regained his calm posture and said, "Looks like my sword will have to wait. Have you submitted your form, Mito?"

Mito said, "Of course I have. I did so yesterday."

Naruto said, "Well, I be going right now," and jumped to go to the Hokage tower.

The Hokage tower, Konohagakure

Naruto went to the top and got himself a picture where he met Menma. Menma had dressed himself in an extremely comical way for his identification picture. Naruto laughed and sighed to himself. Then the both of them went to submit their forms.

Upon entering the Hokage's room, they saw that the Sandaime was seated on the chair and Izuna was nowhere to be found. Naruto asked, "Sandaime-sama, I mean no offence, but where is my father?"

The Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi just sat there. He said, "He is on a long term paper work duty. For a small while, I will be in this office." He had a slight smile on his face. He was wearing the common Hokage Robes. The room was filled with no one else except for Iruka.

The Sandaime spoke, "So, have you boys come to submit your forms?"

Both Naruto and Menma said, "Yes!"

Sarutobi said, "Fine I will take Naruto's first."

Naruto went ahead and gave his form. It had his picture. It then had-

Name: Uchiha Naruto

Father: Uchiha Izuna

Mother: Uchiha Kyokyuyu

Grandfather: Uchiha Tajima

Great-grandfather: Uchiha Madara

Age: 12 years

Sarutobi said, "Well, as of now, Naruto, you are a full fledged Konoha shinobi."

Naruto had a strong grin on his face. He was happy. He hoped that the first mission of his team would be A or at least B ranked. He had no clue that he would get at best, a D ranked mission first.

Sarutobi then took Menma's form. He was shocked at the picture. He said, "Menma, for the third time, take a picture by which people can recognize you. This is your identity!"

To that Menma used his Sexy Jutsu and transformed into a goddess in the Sandaime's eyes and said, "You want me to take a picture like this?"

The Sandaime's nose started bleeding in a stream. Then Menma transformed back.

Naruto saw the form when the Sandaime handed it over to Menma. Naruto laughed like he had never laughed before. Menma had taken a picture with paint all over his face. Menma frowned at that.

Naruto accompanied Menma for another picture where Naruto forced Menma to take a picture in his normal look.

They then came back to give Menma's form. The Sandaime said, "Finally, Menma. You give a proper picture. For that I am very grateful."

The form had:

Name: Uzumaki Menma

Father: Uchiha Izuna

Mother: Uchiha Kyokyuyu

Grandfather: Uchiha Tajima

Great-grandfather: Uchiha Madara

Age: 12 years

Then from a door came a young boy with a kunai in his hand ready to strike. He headed towards the Sandaime. He said, "Old man! Today I shall defeat you and become the Roku-daime Hokage!"

The boy who just said that was young. He was also short. He was wearing a yellow shirt and a white short pant. He was wearing a helmet over his head.

Just as he said that, he slipped on his own clothes and fell down. The Sandaime said, "Forgive me for this scene. This is my grandson Konohamaru."

Upon hearing this, Konohamaru looked at Naruto and Menma and said, "You two! You must be the one who made me slip."

All of a sudden, Izuna entered the room. He was wearing the Hokage cape and a black t-shirt below. He was also wearing shorts. He had come casually to work that day. His hair was worse than ever. HE had been putting stamps and checking every file for the past three days and he was bored. He had not even returned home.

He looked at Konohamaru and said, "Another attempt in one day! Did you slip again Konohamaru?"

Konohamaru made an angry-ish face and said, "I didn't slip on my own." Izuna laughed slightly and said, "Anyways, Naruto, you are coming with me."

Naruto was surprised. After all these days, and today of all days his father wanted to meet him. He wanted to buy a longsword.

Naruto followed Izuna out as they made their way to Training Ground Three.

Konohamaru still had the sad look on his face. Just then another shinobi entered the room. He was wearing completely black clothes. He was a jounin. He was wearing a bandana over his head and was wearing black sunglasses. He was none other than Konohamaru's tutor, Ebisu. He looked at Konohamaru and said, "Honourable grandson of the Sandaime, you must come with me to train right now." He then saw Menma. He was extremely angry at looking at his face. He was thinking of Menma as nothing but a monster. Just then Konohamaru went up to Menma and said, "You! You are the one who made me fall down. What did you do?" Menma said angrily, "I didn't make you fall down idiot." Saying so, he picked up Konohamaru and was about to punch him when Konohamaru said, "I am the grandson of the Sandaime Hokage Hit me if you want." Menma got angry and hit him even harder. He said, "I don't care of any of those and besides, I am the son of the Gondaime Hokage." Saying so, he walked out. Konohamaru followed him.
