Fox In The Leaf

I'm sorry

Konoha never looked better to Hiruzen than it does right now. The sky was the brightest blue, the clouds were the purest white, and the birds were chirping. Hiruzen was enjoying the sight as he looked upon the streets as he was standing on the roof of the Hokage tower and smoking his pipe 'today has to be the most perfect day I have had in a long time, all the paperwork is done, no issues from the council, no meetings, and the civilians are going about their business as normal' he thought as he gave a relaxed sigh and smiling.

"NARUUUUTTTTOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"GET BACK HERE YOU ROTTEN BRAT"

"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO THE HOKAGE MONUMENT"

Hiruzen's peaceful moment was disrupted by the shouts of several of his shinobi jumping from the rooftops and the laughing of his surrogate grandson. Looking at the jumping group of five shinobi and academy students. Hearing what they said he turned around to look at the Hokage Monument and just stared at the Hokage's faces "how did he even do any of that when there is a security team that patrols above it in front of it and on the outer walls which have the perfect view of it?"

The faces carved into the mountain that make the Hokage monument were painted with different joking faces.

The first Hokage had its eyes painted to look like it was winking, teeth painted to look like a smile in a big smile with a shine on them and a painted hand next to it giving a thumbs up. 'Oh kami, why did he have to choose that face? Thankfully Gai is at the moment out on a mission.' he thought with a shiver

The second Hokage had googly eyes and tongue sticking out with the word "fool" written on the forehead 'a very big contrast to how he was in person' he thought with a chuckle

The Third Hokage's face was painted with a big goofy smile and perverted eyes with a painted blush and nose bleed and on closer inspection on the base of the beard was a small message saying "sorry Jiji". He couldn't help but chuckle 'at least he left that message but why did he make me look like a pervert?' he thought with anime tears streaming down his face

The fourth Hokage was the most interesting as it had three whisker marks on each of its cheeks, a foxy grin and eyes painted to look like they are closed 'could it have been anymore ironic that he chose the fourth to do that to, and Naruto aims to surpass you Minato…'

As he turned back to the village and seeing Naruto outrun his shinobi and several of his Anbu like it was a simple task, Hiruzen couldn't help but think 'you are truly unpredictable, both in your actions and the way your life has become…..'

Naruto continued to hope from rooftop to rooftop outrunning the high ranking shinobi while laughing and taunting them "are you even trying to catch me, cause this is too easy" he said as he threw a paintball at them hitting one of the Anbu

"Your gonna regret that when we catch you, you brat!" yelled the Anbu as he wiped some of the paint off his mask

"bleh try harder." Naruto said as he pulled down on his eyelid, stuck out his tongue and tossed a smoke bomb to the ground

"Aaaah what the hell, my eyes burn! And why the hell am I so itchy! What the hell did he put in that smoke?!" screamed one of the Jonin chasers while the rest of the group agreed and started to scratch themselves furiously

"Better question! Where is that little gremlin, I'm going to hogtie him and drag him to the Hokage after this" the Anbu leader said as he noticed that the boy was gone

"Spread out! Find him!" he said as they all jumped into different directions in search of the boy

Down below on street level was a three-tailed fox(a bit smaller than 12-year-old normal Naruto) laughing as he looked at the shinobi get further away 'yet again I win! Anbu: 11, Naruto: 163'. As he calmed down his laughing and started walking away, he was about to leave the area until he was grabbed by the scruff of his neck and then brought up face to face with Iruka.
