King of Ninja

The aged Hokage gave a small sigh as he began to go over the latest report about Uzumaki Naruto and how some random but rich civillian thought he was a menace that needed to be killed. Hiruen hated this part of the job but it was important that he go through every single document that he was given, even if it was nonsensical, completeley biased and only suitable as kindling.

As Hiruzen began to read he let his mind wander onto the subject of Uzumaki Naruto, Konoha's resident Jinchuriki and self proclaimed future 'King of the Ninja's'

Naruto, or Luffy, as he insisted on being called was definitly an odd kid. He wasn't that smart, was incredibly annoying and honestly the idea of Naruto on missions worried Hiruzen greatly but saying that Naruto just insipired confidence, if he said he would do something then Hiruzen knew it would be done. There was not a force in the world that would be able to stop Naruto and it was in that way that he was simillar to is parents, that was probably the only way he was similar to them though. He wasn't smart like Minato, naturally skilled like Kushina, he didn't have plans to better the world or care about his family one iota. Naruto instead was a loud, childish, idiotic young boy who could inspire confidence in everyone, make friends with anyone and eat more meat than a whole family of Akimichi. Naruto also never seemed to gather the handle of using chakra, for anything, yet despite that he would win ANY fight that he was in with just his barefists. Then there was Naruto's friends, his Nakama as he called them.

The first and closest of his friends was Nara Shikamaru a boy who loved to sleep just as much as any other Nara that Hiruzen knew but that was only trait Shikamaru shared with his family. Where as every other Nara strove to train their brains young Shikamaru trained his body, he had more muscles than a young Gai and was proficient in a three sword style of combat, something that he had taught himself.

Haruno Sakura was a cute young girl from a civillian family, she was sweet, polite and smart. She also had the habit of pickpocketinng everyone that she came across, Hiruzen himself had lost his wallet to her a time or seven. She also had the uncanny ability to acuratelly tell the weather and weilded a strange pole that let her control the weather.

Akimichi Chouji was the one who had created such a weapon for young Sakura. He too was unlike his family in many ways. The Akimichi loved to eat and while it was true that Chouji enjoyed to eat, he did not eat anywhere near as much as they did and in fact had a slim, runner like physique that made the clan jutsu almost impossible for the young lad. Not that he seemed to mind though, he always brought a slingshot around with him and with the use of a few basic seals had created a deadly array of missiles.

Hyuuga Hinata was the next on the list and was probably the oddest of the lot. She did not hold any of the Hyuuga decorum and instead spent all of her time either flirting with older women, swearing up a storm or cooking in the kitchens of some random restaurant for the day. She had also learnt how to use the Jyuuken with her feet and absolutely refused to ever lift her hands in combat.

Inuzuka Kiba had several animalistic tendencies just like his family did but where as his family came across as predators…..Kiba was prey. He was scared easily and would frequently hide, almost all of his time was spent talking and playing with animals or volunteering at the hospital.

Yamanaka Ino was the ideal version of a Yamanaka. She was smart, beautiful and knew the importance of knowledge. She seemed to always know every secret there was and could with a few words confuse some of the brightest minds in Konoha until they couldn't even tell what was truth or not, her physical skills were lacking though.

Rock Lee was in many ways like his team sensei, he was loud, wore inappropriate clothing and would cry at the oddest things but in many ways he was also very different. Born with malformed chakra coils Lee was never able to use cakra for anything except physical enhancement, not that this ever seemed to bother the boy. Knowing that he was at a disadvantage Lee had somehow manage to physically alter several parts of his body until he was part puppet and Hiruzen was still unsure on how the boy did it, he was however happy to just let it rest. He still wished that the boy would put on some pants and stop screaming Super all the time.

The last member of Naruto's friends was Uchiha Sasuke, a genjutsu prodigy who used his violin and his voice to help augment his genjutsu. Sasuke would have a bright future ahead of him if only he would stop asking all the Kunoichi he met if he could see their panties.

Hiruzen sighed as he finished reading through the document. It was pretty clear that the civillian who had filled it in had never personally met Naruto as the boy while, to put it bluntly, was quite stupid and obnoxious he had could charm anyone he met. Besides the document was full of lies.

Hiruzen gave a small smirk as he set the document on fire before pulling out his crystal ball and used it to watch Naruto's latest adventure, he wasn't surprised to find the boy and his friends camping in the middle of the Forest of Death with several dead tigers on a spit.
