72. Cannon Start

Hiruzen sat in his office taking a small break from all the paperwork. As he glances outside he couldn’t help but sigh before taking a sip from his tea. Outside the window the Hokage rock had been vandalized again. He couldn’t help but think back on the first time this happened and how everyone had been in a panic. At least, this new prankster had been caught red handed the three times he had done so. 

Outside, running from building to building a blond kid tried his damned hardest to lose his tail. A group of three ninjas followed the kid through roofs and alleys with red angry faces. Again! This pipsqueak dared insult the Hokages of the past again!

As the kid turned the corner the ninjas followed but he had suddenly disappeared. Perhaps he had jumped to the roofs again, or went into a side alley, it didn’t matter, they would find him. However, as soon as they left a piece of the wall moved. No, it wasn’t a piece of the wall but an extremely well painted recreation of it on a piece of cloth. 

Behind the cloth Naruto smiled with a cheeky grin. He had finally lost them, he had won! Or so he thought until…

“Great job losing them but you just let your guard down so it’s your loss” Next to him another piece of cloth moved revealing another fake wall. Behind it, Tomoka smiled with the same cheeky grin Naruto had.

“What are you talking about? I already lost them so it's my win” Naruto felt slightly confused.

“That might be true but again you let your guard down. Look behind you” With that said Naruto looked behind him to see an angry Iruka land in front of him. He wanted to run so he turned around only to be caught by the neck of his shirt. In front of him where Tomoka should be there was a note. Good luck with Iruka-sensei’s lecture. 

On Top of a nearby building Tomoka sat while eating some ice cream. She giggled while seeing Iruka lecture Naruto again. Around four years have gone by since the Uchiha massacre and with this prank from Naruto she could officially say that cannon had started.

What was to follow would be Naruto’s failure at performing the clone jutsu and his subsequent stealing of the forbidden scroll containing the multi-shadow clone jutsu. To tell the truth, Tomoka could try and help the blond boy out and save him from the trouble. However, she didn’t feel like it. 

For starters, Tomoka wanted to read the scroll herself but stealing it was too much work when she could let someone else do it for her. The reason why she wanted to read the scroll is rather simple. It is called the scroll of forbidden jutsus as in plural, multiple. Who knows what is in there aside from the multi-shadow clone jutsu. To tell the truth, Naruto learned the least dangerous one from what could be in there.  

‘All in due time I guess. We will be having the graduation test next week so only five days to go before I can learn some interesting stuff’ 

[Everyday that passes I feel like you are becoming more and more morally gray]

‘Please Kurama, I have always been morally gray, it’s just that it’s kinda hard doing forbidden stuff with the body of a kid. That reminds me, I am twelve now, puberty is just around the corner and I am not looking forward to it’

[You win some, you lose some]

‘True that’

With her little chat with foxy finished she decided to go and prepare for what is to come next week. If she passes the exam, and of course she would, she would be considered an adult. This title would open a shit load of doors for her. No longer would she need to do all her transactions through proxies and under the table. Not to mention that she would be able to move freely! 

‘The fun will finally start for real!”
