The Deadly Duo

Chapter 3

"ANBU! NOW!" The voice of the Hokage resounded in the room as Naruto and Itachi found themselves surrounded by the Hokage's personal guards. Killer Intent filled the room as the Hokage and his guards surrounded the unknown intruder.

"Uh hi Jiji? It's me?" Naruto chuckled nervously while Itachi stared at him as if he is stupid. "You don't just shushin into Hokage's office you know? Even the sanins don't do that!" She whispered harshly. Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"ANBU, stand down." Hiruzen ordered as he sat back down on the Hokage's seat. "Naruto, you got explaining to do." Hiruzen stared at him sternly.

"What do you mean Jiji?" Naruto asked genuinely confused.

"Explain how you learnt the shushin and inform me of other important information." Hiruzen asked sternly.

"Hai…" Naruto sighed as he set Itachi down onto the floor to which Hiruzen noted discreetly. "Currently, I would rate myself at a high genin to low chunin ninja using the war period ranking which I found in the library. Itachi also has been coaching me in genin to chunin level skills, knowledge and fighting experiences." Then in a low tone, he whispered to Hiruzen, " I found out that my father is Minato and my mother is Kushina." To which Hiruzen paled at.

"Now Naruto…" Hiruzen began before Naruto cut in with a hand sign. "Jiji, I can understand your reason for that. I met their chakra Imprints in my seal after trying to open Kyuubi's lock for the first time. Me and Kurama have a rather deep bond so I trusted him enough to open the seal. It did wonders for my chakra control too. Now i can perform perfect bushins."

"So… you know your heritage, your tenant and even unsealed Kurama is it? You also have low chunin skills in peaceful period terms…" Hiruzen sighed. "Guess there is nothing much to keep from you is it?"

"Nop!" Naruto grinned. " I'm surprised that you are taking so well though."

"No I am not... I am still trying to process all this…" Hiruzen mumbled while rubbing his temples. "Anyways, Itachi why are you here?" Hiruzen finally addressed Itachi.

"Hai. This is my report on the academy exercise and potential teams from the current members. In my honest opinion, the academy needs to up their regime." Itachi mentioned with an undertone of irritation while handing over a written report by her.

"They are kids Itachi-chan." Hiruzen retorted gently as he took the report to read through later on.

"There are fangirls though." Itachi deadpanned. All shinobis in the room facepalmed in unison at that. Fangirls is the one problem all shinobi villages is happy to unite against, not as if the village leaders will admit that though.

"Alright, Itachi you are dismissed, although it is prefered for you to stay." Hiruzen add as an afterthought. He turned to Naruto. "When are you going to tell me you two started dating?" He deadpanned.

Both Itachi and Naruto chuckled nervously. "After… after I become genin." Naruto admitted, embarrassed.

"And when did this start?" He questioned staring at Itachi.

She blushed and answered, "25th December last year Hokage-sama." They surrounding ANBU chuckled. The Hokage is indeed one who cares for his ninjas and family members, blood related or not.

"Hmm… good to know." Hiruzen mused. "I know you two are sharing an apartment too… I don't want a great-grandchild yet Naruto." Hiruzen chuckled.

"Jiji/Hokage-sama!" Naruto and Itachi shouted in unison, embarrassed and blushing full force.

"Alright, you two are dismissed." Hiruzen laughed. The two, still blushing, bowed and left in a wind shushin hand in hand.

"Wind shushin. How clean. Better than the typical leaf shushin don't you think?" Hiruzen spoke with an insane glint in his eyes. The ANBU guards were mentally swearing at the blond for making the wind shushin. It just means more training for them.
