Chapter 40: Fifth Hokage.

"Hei guys. I'm back." said Zokuto, waving his hand toward Naruto's and the gang.

"Who are you?" asked Naruto, not able to identify Zokuto.

"Oh, I'm your father, Yondaime Hokage."

"You are certainly not him. Although you look a bit similar to him, I have seen his picture." said Naruto. Neji and the other former Konoha nin nodded in agreement.

"Ah, my mistake. I'm yondaime's younger brother."

"Do you take me for a fool? I already know that Yondaime is formerly an orphan without any sibling."

"Geh! You are too picky Naruto. I'm your brother, Zokuto."

"Impossible! Zokuto is like me, is only seven years old. Who are you trying to impersonate as him?"

"I already told you so." sighed Zokuto. He then took out Kurama. "See this, you still remember him right?"

Naruto and the others looked at Kurama and all of them felt intimidated.

"Is that a bijuu that look like Kyuubi? But that bijuu is too strong." Neji.

"Naruto-kun. Becareful! This bijuu is more powerful than any bijuu that we have seen so far." stated Hinata while looking at Kurama with her byakugan.

"Huuh? You guys don't know him? Oh, I forget. He is no longer Kyuubi. He is already turned into Jyuubi."

"Jyuubi?? That ten tailed beast?"

Everyone is now shocked and wary of Zokuto. They instinctively took a fighting stance while looking at Zokuto.

"Aih...You guys sure is hard to convince." said Zokuto. He then took out all of his bijuus.

"Now, do you believe me?"

However, when Zokuto looked at his bijuus, he saw that some of them had transformed into another form.

"Saya, what are you trying to act for?"

"I'm not Saya. I'm her mother, Sayu." Saya.

"Me, Saya's bro. Chiko" Chiro.

"Cough! I'm Necro." Nero.

"Saya said, I'm Black, because my color is black. MEW!!!" Mora was sent flying by Saya's kick.

"I'm Gurr."

Bang!

Gurr was also sent flying for exposing himself. Isobu on the other hand just kept himself quiet. He did not want to involve himself with the bijuus drama. Seeing this, Naruto and the rest sighed. Now, its confirmed that this twenty something young man is really Zokuto.

"But sensei, how come you look older? Did you use a Henge jutsu?" asked Kubo.

"Nope. This is the backlash after I used some kind of dojutsu ability." said Zokuto. His listener nodded in thought.

"Is that why your right eye turned white?" asked Kakashi.

"Well, it's related to that." nodded Zokuto. "By the way Kakashi-san, I have someone that I want you to meet. Please follow me." said Zokuto, signalling for Kakashi to follow him. He and Kakashi then walked away from the Tonika Village towards a certain direction.

Naruto and the others just looked at the disappearing two. "Did he forget to take back his bijuus?" questioned Naruto. The others have the same thought after seeing Zokuto's bijuus just looking at the direction Zokuto and Kakashi are moving to.

"Did he get mad because I acted as someone else? Is he going to abandon me again? huhuhu...gack!" Saya teared down but got smacked behind her head.

"Bastard. What did you do that for?" yelled Saya to Kurama.

"Stop with your drama. He only said that he want to show that Kakashi something. It might have to do with that Obito kid." said Kurama.

"But you don't need to knock my head."

"That's because you are so annoying with your drama."

"Is that really the case? Or are you now showing off because you are already a ten tailed bijuu?"

"Whatever. Suit yourself."

"Nnggahh!! So, you really are showing off youself! I'm not afraid of you. Fight me if you dare?"

Seeing the bijuus yelling and arguing with themselves made Naruto and the others sweat dropping. On the other hand, Kara is still looking at the direction where Zokuto go. When Kubo saw Kara like this, he got curious.

"What is it, Kara?"

"Don't you think that there is something different with Zokuto?"

"Well, he get older I think."

"No, not that."

"He got more powerful?"

"Not that too."

"Then, what is it?"

"I think..."

"What?"

"He become really handsome!"

"..." Kubo was speechless.

...

Some days after Obito and Zokuto left Amegakure, the coalition army decided to deliver the dead body of those jinchuurikis to their own villages. On the other hand, the Konoha nin returned back to their village to bury the dead Sandaime.

Several days after that, the higher up of the Konoha called up for a meeting. This meeting is to decide who will become the next Hokage.

In the Konoha's meeting room.

"It's been a days since the burial ceremony of Sandaime Hokage. Now it's time for us to decide who will be the next Hokage. What do you guys think?" Danzo.

"I agree." said Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. The rest of the people in the meeting room just nodded in agreement.

"Then, who do you guys suggest to become the new Hokage?"

"I suggest Nara Shikaku as the new Hokage." said Yamanaka Inoichi.

"I suggest Danzo-san as the new Hokage." said Homura. "He have been with Sandaime and even advised him in certain matters. He know more or less about being a Hokage."

"I suggest Jiraiya-san as the fifth Hokage. In term of prowers, he is in the level of a Kage. Also, he is backed with his title as the Sannin." Inuzuka Tsume.

"He already defected from Konoha." said Koharu.

"How about Tsunad?"

"One of the Sannin, Tsunade? She has not been in the village for a very long time." said Danzo.

"I suggest Uzumaki Zokuto as the new Hokage."

The moment that suggestion comes out, everyone turned around to look at the source of that voice. In one of the windows of the meeting room, Zokuto was sitting there with a calm smile.

"Who are you?" said Danzo with a heavy voice. "What are you doing here? You are not allowed in this meeting room. Anbu!"

Four anbu crept into existance and took a fighting stance, but did not attack Zokuto directly.

Zokuto did not care much about the anbu and continued to talk.

"I'm Yondaime...cough! Sorry, I got into those act." coughed Zokuto. "I'm Uzumaki Zokuto. No, I am adult Zokuto." said Zokuto, correcting himself.

"If you want my proof, that easy." Zokuto then transformed into Sage of Six Path mode.

"Sage of Six Path!"

Everyone was stunned when they looked at Zokuto. They could feel the power leaking out of him is very terrifying. Just looking at his shining form, with a horn on his head already left them with a dangerous feeling.

"Now, I'm sure you guys already heard that I have beaten that Jyuubi's Jinchuuriki, and made him run away, right? So, in term of prowers, I'm the most powerful person in the whole Konoha. I should be the best candidate for a Hokage, right?" asked Zokuto, with his daring statement.

"You are no longer a Konoha's citizen. You are just a missing-nin." stated Koharu.

"Didn't I tell your anbu and Sandaime that I'm just away for a long term training?" asked Zokuto.

"He did say that." said an anbu. This anbu is Yugao Uzuki.

"Shut up." yelled Koharu.

The other people in the meeting room was surprised that an anbu supported Zokuto.

"Who will support me to become Hokage?" asked Zokuto calmly.

Danzo and his two friends frowned when he heard Zokuto, while the rest of the people in the room looked at each other. A moment later, the Ino-Shika-Cho guys raised their hand in agreement. After that, the leader of Aburame, Inuzuka, and Sarutobi followed in agreement.

"Zokuto-kun, how is Hinata and Neji?" asked Hyuuga Hiashi.

"Don't worry, they are still training outside. After this, I will take them back to Konoha. I'm sure you will be surprised when you see their changes." replied Zokuto.

"Is that so? That's good then." nodded Hiashi. He then added, "I agree for Zokuto to be the next Hokage."

This made Danzo almost steamed in anger. However, he still manages to calm down.

"Zokuto, can I ask you something?"

"Oh, Fugaku-san. What is it?"

"If you become Hokage, what will happen to us Uchiha?" asked Fugaku directly.

"Well, I haven't thought of doing anything. However, you don't have to worry. You are one of the important clan in this village. Also, you already know that I also hold your bloodline ability in me. I promise that the Uchiha clan can prosper in this village." said Zokuto activating his left eye, turning it into Mangekyou.

The others was still got shocked even though they already know from the golden screen that Zokuto received this dojutsu as his rewards.

"Then, I will agree to you becoming Hokage."

Bang!

Danzo unconsciously hit his chair, making the rest of the people in the meeting room to turn and look at him.

"Now that I got the majority support, I officially become the Fifth Hokage." said Zokuto.

Danzo's face turned dark in anger, but he could not do anything as these useless people did not even try to support him, instead they supported an infant as a new Hokage. Curse them!

"Now that I already become the new Hokage, I need to change several thing in this village. One of those changes I want to do is to get rid of the tumor that has been infecting Konoha." said Zokuto in a deep voice. "These tumor have been trying to shake the foundation of Konoha that was built by the Shodaime Hokage, and trying to infuse bad influence among the villages. These tumor even created their own organisation underground."

The moment Zokuto mention that, the people in the meeting room were stunned. On the other hand, Danzo and the two friends of his felt great uneasiness crept in their heart.

"These tumor are the three elders; Danzo, Homura, and Koharu!"
