FIFTEEN

Naruto walked to the forest all by himself after the dangerous battle with Gaara and managed to stopped it. Naruto sat into the ground and pulled out his notebook and write his first journal.

" I finally met Yugito, Fuu, Killer Bee and Gaara." Naruto said. " I still don't know what my future holds but becoming Hokage in the future would me more hardwork. I'm focusing on training to become Chunin and Jonin."

Later, Yagura's water clone showed up.

" Hi there." Yagura said, although he is a clone. " I forgot to meet you."

Naruto deadpanned.

" Fourth Mizukage." Naruto said.

" Just call me Yagura for short. I just recently returned to the Mist Village after I was with the other two Kages helping the Third Hokage dealing with Orochimaru." Yagura said.

" My name is Naruto." Naruto said. " I assumed that you have Isobu."

" So you know the names of the tailed beasts." Yagura said.

" How is the Old Man Lord Hiruzen?" Naruto asked.

" He is seriously injured by Orochimaru." Yagura said.

Naruto deadpanned.

" That old snake has gone too far." Naruto said.

" Anyway. Nice to meet you Mr. Fox." Yagura said as he disappeared.

Naruto sweat dropped.

" Did that idiot calling me Mr. Fox?" Naruto said to himself.

At the Council, Hiruzen called Naruto for a meeting.

" Because you have saved the Hidden Leaf Village by stopping the rampage of one-tail." Hiruzen said. " You don't need to take a special promotional written exams, I shall give you a promotion. Naruto Uzumaki, I the Third Hokage shall promoted you to the rank of Chunin. The other ninjas from the Leaf have figured out that you and nine-tails have been trained each other for a long time."

" Thank you Lord Third." Naruto said.

" Now you and Shikamaru are now a Chunin." Hiruzen said. " What are you plannings for?"

" I will formed my own team squad by next year while this year, I'll be forming with Hisina a two-man strike force team to do some regular missions."

" Alright Naruto." Hiruzen the Third Hokage said. " I shall approved your requests. Now everyone in the Leaf respected as the true hero of the Leaf."

Sakura and the others were cheered.

" Hooray for Naruto!" Sakura and Ino said.

" Hooray for Narufish!" Kiba said.

Ino and the others looked at Kiba and deadpanned.

" Stop calling Naruto a Narufish." Ino and Sakura were both said.

" What a drag...." Shikamaru said.

Naruto holds the Chunin Vest.

" I wonder what it feels like being a Chunin." Naruto said.

Sasuke deadpanned.

" Dobe...." Sasuke said.
