Otokage

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Edit 9 March 2015 - So this story was originally published in (Month/Day/Year) 05-12-08, and then last  Updated: 07-02-10 - so a long, long time ago... :( It was never finished.

It actually got to a thousand reviews in less than ten chapters- that was back when the Naruto Fan Fic Fandom was still growing, there was no poll feature so people would vote in reviews etc... so admittedly that count was inflated

This was an Itachi trained Naruto which was pretty much the formula for certified badass.

On a separate note Harem fics - I noticed back then, Harem stories typically run out of steam because there's no way to keep all the characters involved. More characters = more writing... People forget that.

My problem wasn't that. My problem was running out of ideas and writing more than one story simultaneously. It splits your focus. And I didn't have a plan of an ending for any of them.

Lastly and again, I was one of the first to bunk Naruto's pre-time skip age upto 15/16 since I felt more comfortable writing him a little older. - Pro-tip, you want Naruto to sound older, limit the suffix usage - like Naruto-kun, Hinata-chan....

Anyway I've added a final chapter to conclude the story! It has a lemon! 

I've uploaded the backup as is.

theBarefootBandit with my third fic 'Naruto: Otokage'

By the end of the chapter, Naruto will be fifteen as there may be lemons and there are dark themes here and there. This is rated M.

This Chapter explains how he became a Sound-Nin and also Fem-Kyuubi fans rejoice, as she'll be in this…

Also this story is a Harem and I will be damned if don't finish this story. I'm well aware that not many Harem strories get finished, but I will finish this and Backlash. 15/9/2011 ~ edit Backlash got rehashed into a One Shot whilst this has reached a point of conclusion.

Harem: Tayuya, Kyuubi, Karin + you decide.

XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Chapter 1

Itachi Uchiha was a man who lived by his own beliefs. He was the pride of his prestigious clan by his own father's; the clan head's admission. Even the Third Hokage acknowledged him as a prodigy in the Ninja Arts and it was for this reason, alongside others of course that Itachi was regarded as the genius of his generation in Konoha.

But if genius and prodigy were a definition of him what would describe the pupil he'd chosen to teach?

An unofficially adopted little brother would be one way to describe him. Another would be to be to describe the pupil by his birth name of Naruto Uzumaki. However in Konoha a title which superseded both of those at least in the eyes of the majority of the village; Naruto was the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.

It was because of this unfortunate tag that little Naruto had become an outcast of sorts in Konoha, from a very young age and that was putting it mildly. Unsurprising then that Naruto was forced to make his first kill, funnily enough under the watchful red eyes of his soon to be mentor.

The drunken idiot who'd thought it was funny to attack a six year old child hadn't expected that the boy would retaliate.

But why would Naruto-kun do such a thing? He was such a good boy after all. He'd always listened to what his 'mother' had told him to do...
It was the first kill Naruto made and they say for all Shinobi, the first kill is the most difficult to deal with. Many see it as a make or break point for many a ninja's career.
