Konohagakure No sato :
Walking back to the village , Naruto made his way to the training ground while thinking of the reasons to get such an absurd skill
( Well that was indeed a suicide and technically a Self sacrifice too )
Naruto puts his hands behind his head , out of the habit and thinks while grumbling
( Kotomatsukami , Mangekyo Sharingan , Shisui's Body flicker , Shishui Sword Arts , fire release , Genjutsu and so much more )
looking back to the description of the skill
==========================
Suicidal Strike - The Final strike powered by the power of Self-sacrifice .
=======================
" Final ...hehe"
( When cornered and death is certain , only then something like this would be used .... let's make sure I will never need to use it )
Looking at the skill Naruto reinforces his belief and heads back to the direction of the training ground for further Grind.
Approaching the training ground , Naruto witnesses the kids still there and gets surprised
( it's almost 2 hours since then , what are they still doing here )
Seeing him approaching , the gang of 4 with Ino gets up , And after a while they all approach him . standing across him Gian comes closer and does the Seal of Reconcilation .
Seeing this Naruto gets surprised and does the same , Gian seeing this speaks up
" Thank you , Naruto "
" ... I think I was being too meddlesome "
hearing the Blonde's answer Gian and others gets surprised , and Gian shouts
" My Teacher and my father , they both say to not take a shinobi lightly "
hearing this naruto curiously waits for him finish
" I always thought being shinobi will be easy just like in academy and One day I will become Hokage "
Hearing his words and his thoughts , naruto looks at him surprised
" Ino told me you wanted to become Hokage and you train whole day long here but I never trained seriously after playing in academy "
" Gia--"
Gian interrupts Naruto
" But you proved me today , how a shinobi and someone who wants to be Hokage should be like , Whether in Fight or even thinking , you were not meddlesome but you cared enough to voice out "
hearing Gian's words everyone was silent and Gian shouts again
" Uzumaki Naruto "
" haaa , what is it Goda Gian "
" Do you really want to become Hokage "
" The Greatest of them all "
replied Naruto calmly and his voice's reassurance changes somethings inside all people listening , while Gian takes a deep breath and stands in front of him and stretches his Right hand out
" Good , Then I Goda Gian will become The Right Hand of the Greatest Hokage "
hearing this Gian's friends gets surprised especially knowing his Stubbornness of admitting defeat. Even Ino standing further away gets surprised .
( I thought he was gonna say something about Rivals or something )
Meanwhile Naruto looks at the right hand extended in a fist bump ,
While fist bumping Gian , Naruto says
" You are gonna have some serious competition "
( Like reallllyyy serious ....like Indra's Reincarnation )
mentally musing himself both Naruto and Gian gets surprised to find another fist bumping and a slit eyed boy Suneo speaking
" Someone need to care things in the back while you both run forward , I guess "
before saying anything a petite fist bums and a soft voice calls out
" When you are down and tired , someone needs to heal and take care of you too , My prince "
Ino walks over and also speaks up
" well leave the Intelligence to me , I am definitly gonna take over my dad's office"
and finally the Megane walks over and declares
" Someone need to use all your positions to slack off too , count me in too "
hearing the stupid kids stupid talk , Naruto somehow feels giddy inside because
( Do they really believe that I can become Hokage or is it just Kage's Charisma working )
Getting trusted and believed , even from a bunch of kids , a different kind of fire burned inside Naruto as he shouts
"oooooooooooooh"
"ooooooooh"X6
=====================================
Hokage office :
Looking downwords from his office window and hearing the little leaf sprouts dreams and goals , The Hokage remembers his own Academy days and dreams he and his friends once had .
( Am I really the same Hokage as I once dreamed about )
Having journeyed this far and being Hokage far more than any Hokage , the accomplishment , The mistakes , The regrets .
The Hokage walks back to the seat and sits down
( If Only I can go back ..... even once )
==================================
Jonin Commander office :
Looking at the kids and Konoha's future ,The Nara finally made a decision that he was wavering about before .
Walking back to his table he picked up an old document goes out of the Hokage Building and heads back to the clan .
====================================
Training Ground :
After that fist bump , it seems like everyone wants to forget that emabarrasing moment , to distract everyone and seeing there is still a lot of time before evening Naruto suggests training.
The Gang also curiously follows his Training Regime while a certain blonde's Ponytail deflates comically .
Basic Weighted Training
Taijutsu
Leaf sticking exercise with more than 10 leaves sticking around body
Kunai sparring
Shuriken throwing
basic 3 body exercises
and other tricks that Naruto realized in his previous session
while Others were busy , Naruto finally takes time to review himself and his Spar
( Internal strength is such a cheat , it feels like accelerated learning + improved focus , running 24/7 . it's slow and gradual process but works all the time )
Even though Naruto was definitely not Gian's equal Physically , with speed and Dynamic Vision and The smooth Taijutsu + the other Training over these days .
All of that really did a wonder on him . Naruto Looks at Gian and sees him working on his legs for Agility .
( It was necessary to wake him up , Gian hasn't faced a Hyuga or Uchiha in his class and others are less talented in his class but that may not be the same later , Ninjutsu is the key , A single body flicker will give edge to all Shinobi vs A pure Taijutsu Ninjas )
Even Might Guy needed to open gates to keep up against that kind of advantage . Walking back Naruto decided to focus their training towards Speed , substitution and Chakra control .
===============================
