It was the morning of the Chunin Exam and Naruto was currently at the Hokage's office. The third had called him to the tower earlier that morning, telling him that he needed to meet him right away. Five minutes later, the blond was knocking on the Hokage's window, and now he was waiting around as the seasoned shinobi searched the room for something.
"Ah! Here it is!" Sarutobi exclaimed as he held a scroll.
Naruto noticed that the Namikaze clan's symbol was imprinted on the scroll's seal. "What is that, Old Man?" The genin asked, looking at the parchment with curiosity.
"Well, since you have done so well in your training and and learned how to control your magic and even summon your elemental ghost, I have decided to you this." He signaled to the scroll.
