But...but what about Naruto? Didn't he deserve...something?
I looked at the coat, running my fingers down every inch of the item of legend. And suddenly, I noticed something. I groaned as I looked at the right sleeves, etched into the sleeve were two names: Kushina, Naruto. I decided right then and there that the third hokage could go hang. Naruto deserved a name...just a name, if not his father's, than at least his mother's. I'm pretty sure what I'm about to do is a crime punishable by death, but I'm pretty sure Minato will forgive me without thinking about it for second.
I took out a kunai and cut off his still intact right sleeve, wrapping it up and putting it away in my inventory. I then wrapped the cloak over my shoulders and took off into the village and accepted the quest in question.
As I ran into town people slowly looked at me with surprised eyes.
"Is that the Fourths?"
"Can't be! It's been lost for so long!"
"Why doe this kid have it?"
"Did he rob his grave?" I ignored the last one as I ran right towards the Hokage office, stopping at the reception lady who looked at me in utter surprise, "c-can I help you?"
Mikura Kana, Receptionist LV- 65 REP- 0 "Yes Mikura," I smiled as I took off the cloak and showed it to her eliciting a gasp to escape her lips, "I think the Hokage would like to see this."
She gasped seeing the cloak, she got up, "f-follow me," she said as she guided me to the Hokage's giant office doors.
She knocked on the door twice and opened it, "pardon the intrusion lord Hokage."
"Mikura?" the old man inside asked, "what's the matter? I told you I shouldn't be disturbed." "Yes sir but...I believe you will want to see this," she then moved away and motioned to me.
I walked through and found myself in the Hokage's office with the third surrounded by several jounins, and how did I know that you ask? Because I can't read any of their levels. Plus Kakashi was with them.
"Yami?" the Third asked surprised, "what can I do for you?"
"Actually, it's more like what I can do for you," I held up the clock, displaying it for everyone to see.
"Where did you find that?"
I flinched in surprise as I noticed Kakashi suddenly right next to me, "I-I found it by the Uzumaki stone at the edge of the village."
Kakashi looked at me with a dull eye before turning to the cloak, "may I?" I nodded, "sure," I handed him the cloak and watched him examine it.
"Amazing," Sarutobi said as he along with the other jonin sensei's all approached Kakashi looking at the clock. He then turned to me with a smile, "you have done a big service to your village Yami...I heard you just graduated yes?"
I chuckled, "yeah...isn't that why all these joins are here? One of them is to be my future sensei yes?"
The third chuckled, "observant as always Yami. Yes, that is correct."
"You tore a piece of this cloak," Kakashi spoke up suddenly looking at me with one eye.
I turned to him and smiled, "what makes you think that?"
"This hear," he pointed at the right shoulder, "someone used a kunai to cut up apart." I blinked, "really? That's surprising. It was whole when I first found it….someone must have snuck up behind me and cut it on my way here...you know...to keep as a momento."
Lie Failed!
Kakashi obviously didn't believe me, but instead of catching me on it he just nodded, "is that so...well, that's too bad. You weren't even able to safely bring deliver something, I was lead to believe you were a very smart genin, guess you were nothing but a mediocre ninja."
I raised an eyebrow, was he really trying to bait me. Whatever. I shrugged, "hey, blame the old man, he's the one who allowed me to skip ahead a year. Maybe his mind's so dull due to old age he saw a mediocre ninja like me as something special."
"Oh, lord Hokage, someone is being very disrespectful," Kakashi gave a hollow chuckle. "Yes, and his name is Kakashi Hatake, the man who questioned your orders," I replied glaring at the man.
The copy ninja looked at me and I didn't back down, not for one second. Finally Sarutobi broke the stare down with a soft but commanding tone, "that's enough, both of you."
I sighed, "right. Sorry."
Kakashi didn't reply, he took the coat and turned to the Hokage, "I'll be putting this into his display case along with his other possessions," and then he left a whirl of leaves.
I grumbled, "do me a favour lord Hokage, please, please don't assign that depressed emo as my sensei. Seriously, do you know how many times I found him staring at the memorial stone?!"
"When you become a ninja kid you'll understand," a jounin spoke up, I looked at him and found myself face to face with a smoking Asuma;
Asuma Sarutobi, Fire's Pride Lv-?
REP- 20 "Yosh! This is most exciting! Not only have I gotten amazing students, but I saw once more the Fourth's cloak! To celebrate I'll by us all a round!" I'm not giving you any guesses as to who that was;
Mighty Gai, Leaf's Green Beast, Lv- ?
REP- 20 Why was my REP score with these people so good? I never even met him before in my life!
"At least wait until the Hokage let's us go Gai," said a man, brown hair, green eyes, Inuzuka marking on his cheek.
