( KONOHAMARU )

after getting the forehead protector, naruto look at Iruka and said.

Naruto: sensei you are seriously injured let's go to the hospital.

hearing this Iruka nodded and just as they were about to leave a figure suddenly appear in front of them, they both look at the figure, it was a man wearing an anbu uniform while his face was covered with a mask. seeing him Naruto realized that it was the man who was following him in order the keep the scroll safe. before naruto could talk, the anbu said.

anbu: Lord Hokage has sent me to bring the scroll back.

hearing this Naruto nodded and pass the scroll to the anbu, after getting the scroll anbu disappear without saying anything else.

after the anbu left Naruto and Iruka start moving toward the hospital.

after Iruka was admitted in the hospital, he said to naruto

Iruka: Naruto I am fine, you should go back home since tomorrow you need to go to the academy for your official genin registration.

Naruto: yes sensei.

after saying this naruto left Iruka alone and went back home.

.......................

next day

inside the registration hall.

naruto was sitting in front of the Hokage and bandaged Iruka sensei and just as they were about to proceed with the registration procedure a little boy suddenly bust inside the room and leap toward the Hokage in order to attack but before he could do anything, he tripped. seeing the boy Hokage, hold his forehead with his hand.

Konohamaru: damn it! who set up a trap.

before anyone could reply a man hurriedly came inside following Konohamaru and said

Ebisu: konohamaru are you all right and there isn't a trap anywhere.

konohamaru looked around and as he saw Naruto he ran toward him said

Konohamaru: are you the one who defeated that old man with your own jutsu.

seeing the hyperactive kid a smile appear on Naruto's face and he decided to play along.

Naruto: yes, I am the one who defeated that old man Hokage. what do you want from me kid?

Konohamaru: I want you to teach me that jutsu.

Naruto: and why should I teach you?

Sarutobi: you have to do it because I am Hokage's grandson.

after saying this a victory smile appear on his face.

but before he could say anything, Naruto hit him on his head. he was completely shocked since this has never happened before.

Naruto: who gives a damn! I do not care who you are but if you want to learn that secret technique you need to give me a good reason and you will have to complete a task.

after being hit, konohamaru's eyes become a little watery but hearing Naruto's words his eyes shined and he said.

Konohamaru: grandpa gave me the name konohamaru. I am named after the village. but even though everyone knows my name, nobody calls me that. when everyone sees me or calls me, all they see is Hokage's grandson. nobody sees me as me, I am sick of it and that is why after I learn that jutsu I will defeat that old man, other will recognize me and after I grow up I will take that old man's title.

hearing this a smile appear on Naruto's face and he said.

Naruto: it is not that easy dummy, this is the Hokage title, the strongest ninja in the village, you might defeat him with that secret jutsu but that will not be a legit win so if you want your name to be recognized by others then you will need to work hard because there are no shortcuts if you want to become Hokage.

hearing this a light of understanding flashed in Konohamaru's eyes and he nodded with a determined look on his face.

seeing this naruto smiled but soon that smile turned into an evil one and he said to Konohamaru.

Naruto: now that you understand the importance of hard work, you will need to do the task.

saying this Naruto come close to konohamaru and said something in his ear.

Naruto: now listen, your task is, you need to go to your grandpa's room. after you reach there look below his bed, there you will find a bundle of books. after you find it, bring it here.

hearing this a bright expression appear on Konohamaru's face and said

Konohamaru: really all I need to do is to bring those things here.

naruto nodded.

seeing this Konohamaru dash out quickly, after he left there was a moment of silence, seeing the exchange between naruto and konohamaru sarutobi was not able to hold back and ask.

sarutobi: say naruto what sort of task did you gave to konohamaru.

hearing sarutobi a smile appear on Naruto's face and he replied.

Naruto: I ask him to bring your darkest secret, which nobody knows except you.

after hearing this a shocked expression appear on everyone's face.

sarutobi: my darkest secret huh.

as sarutobi was thinking a thought suddenly clicked in his mind and his face become pale.

sarutobi: you mean that no it can not be, konohamaru must not find about that, Ebisu go and stop Konohamaru.

BANG!

before Ebisu could move, konohamaru returned with a box in his hand.

seeing the box sarutobi's expression become deathly pale and heard naruto.

Naruto: old man it is already too late.
