Naruto Uchiha; The Forgotten Teen

Secret Mission

"Come with me." Naruto looked at Madara, his training was moving along swimmingly, his fox sage was almost complete, his Kenjutsu was almost as good as Madara's and he had his Wood release down packed. It was only month four, he might be able to master Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu before the exams too, who knew Shadow clone training took years off your training. To mere months.

"You want me to go on your A-Rank mission with you?" Naruto asked, knowing he wasn't officially a ninja, so this technically wasn't legal, but it didn't matter.

He got to learn about missions, and be with Madara, he couldn't say no.

He watched as Madara nodded his head again and Naruto spoke.

"How long should I pack for?" Naruto asked and Madara hummed.

"A week, we are heading to Suna to deliever a scroll about the Chunin exams, confidential information and I want to see how you fare against enemy ninjas." Madara said and Naruto packing his bag. He also started changing seeing as he was still in his nightclothes and not Shinobi attire.

Once he stood back up, Madara held his hand out, which Naruto grabbed. He was walking contently with Madara until Yamato was at the door waiting.

"Oh, are we not training today foxy?" Yamato asked and Naruto shook his head.

"I'm going on a mission, with Madara." Madara gave Yamato a look, and Yamato nodded.

"Have fun you both. Naruto make sure you learn a lot." Naruto nodded his head as the duo kept walking. It was quiet, but not uncomfortable. Naruto was on alert, he became a very unique sensor, shooting his chakra out like a breeze, he could identify anything as far as his chakra extended.

Once Madara started training Naruto, he realized there was nothing normal about him, down to his Taijutsu stances, he moved on instincts, he did things that made sense to him in that moment, and if that that didn't get the job done, that's when he would calm down, regroup and calculate and ultimately win anyways.

Madara adored the teen next to him, Naruto was always smiling, and he was so happy to talk to Madara about his progress, and Madara loved hearing him purr and talk endlessly, even if he only offered a sentence or two on his rants, but what he liked the most was when he would return from a mission, and Naruto would run some water for him, and let him lay down before they did anything else.

Although this was an arranged marriage, Madara doesn't think anybody else will ever care for him like this.

"Madara, Watch out." Madara looked at Naruto and watched him carefully, and the minute he sensed it, Naruto was already drawing a few weapons, Naruto saw a Ninja and tossed his weapons, watching carefully as he dodged them and went through hand signs and Naruto chuckled.

"Too slow." Naruto said kicking him in the face, throwing rope that bounded him to the tree, just in time to dodge a punch. Naruto felt as if the ninja in front of him was moving in slow motion, he felt like Yamato and definitely Madara moved a lot faster.

"Sorry." Naruto said knocking that ninja out as well, Naruto shot out a little chakra, and realized that there was only two Shinobi, grabbing one headband he brought it back to Madara, placing it in his hand.

"What village is this?" Naruto asked, he only knew the major villages, like every civilian should know.

"Otagakure, the sound village." Naruto hummed lowly while they continued their walk to Suna. There was no more interruptions, but that made Madara's brain run even quicker, why was a village who was just recently founded, who's leader wasn't even known yet wanting this information between the two villages.

It didn't make sense to Madara.

At least it didn't until he and Naruto walked in the Kazekage room, and the minute they stood back up, Naruto politely whispered.

"It smells like snakes in here."

Throughout the four months of training Naruto, Madara knew that his sense of smell, was amazing, something Kurama gifted him. Madara knows not to doubt anything that falls out of Naruto's mouth.

"I see the Hokage sent a scroll to me?" Madara was stuck, should he hand over the scroll and potentially be in danger, or should he hide the scroll and potentially be in danger.

"He does, here you go." Naruto handed the man a scroll, Madara looked down at Naruto and saw his smile and posture was believable. Madara couldn't believe what he witnessing.

Naruto was a natural.

"Ah, Minato sent his son. You must be a powerful Ninja." Naruto gave a blush and shook his head. Madara knew Naruto would sell it.

"I'm not, I'm just tagging along with Madara-Sensei, to get more practice before the Chunin exams." The Kazekage laughed, before sighing.

"You don't strike me as a Genin, a shame. They putting all that raw natural talent in the trash." Naruto shrugged and gave a smile.

"Well make sure you watch me when you come to the leaf. We shall take our leave now." Naruto said with a bow, and the Kazekage smiled.

"Take care now." Naruto and Madara left quickly, as they were walking across the desert, more ninja came and tried to attack them, and it makes sense, that man sitting in the Kazekage chair, wasn't the Kazekage and was somehow influenced by the sound village. He wondered what the plan was.

Making it back to the leaf, Naruto quickly headed home, while Madara went to report. When Madara reported his suspicions, Minato and Shikaku was shocked, but Shikaku seemed to ask a question that Minato didn't think to ask.

"Didn't know you're nose was so sensitive. The smell of snakes?" Shikaku hummed, lighting up a cigarette.

"A little fox accompanied me, his sense of smell is amazing." Madara spoke, complimenting his wife while keeping that his wife went under wraps.

"However, I'm saying to look into it. Isn't the rouge Sannin a snake summoner? I'll be leaving, I kept my wife waiting for a week." Madara turned and exhaled.

"I really don't want to deal with another war." Madara said closing the door, the men only looked at each other before ultimately deciding.

They didn't want to deal with another war either. So Minato sent some Anbu out to make sure there would be no interruptions in this years Chunin exams.

The seed of Kushina was participating, and he wanted to see if he is just as crazy as his mother.
