Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

---

Hokage Building

Itachi appeared before the Third Hokage in an instant, his expression unreadable. "The Uchiha clan meeting has been delayed," he reported. "Shisui didn't show up, and they suspect their plan has been exposed."

The Third Hokage's eyes narrowed. "What? Wasn't Shisui supposed to put an end to this?"

"During my mission, I found traces of a battle near the Uchiha district. It's likely that Danzo's men from Root clashed with someone."

At this, the Third Hokage slammed his hand on the desk, his pipe nearly slipping from his mouth. "That bastard!" But after a moment of silence, he took a long drag, exhaled slowly, and said, "Find out where Shisui is and who has his Sharingan now."

"Understood," Itachi responded before vanishing.

The Third Hokage took another deep breath of his pipe and muttered, "Keep an eye on both Itachi and Danzo. If the Sharingan is in their possession, I need to know."

A voice from the shadows replied, "Yes, sir." Silence returned to the room.

Hiruzen sighed. "Danzo… Don't force my hand."

Meanwhile, Danzo stormed into the Root base, his anger palpable. "Contact the minor clans still loyal to us. Put pressure on the Hokage! The Uchiha should have been erased long ago!"

The Uchiha clan, on the other hand, was restless. With Shisui missing, they'd lost one of their most powerful members. Many assumed the Hokage had him eliminated as a warning. The atmosphere was tense as they discussed their next move.

Finally, Uchiha Fugaku stood. "Without Shisui, we cannot move forward with the coup just yet. Itachi, continue working in the ANBU and feed us information. For now, we wait. Dismissed!"

As the meeting ended, the Uchiha members dispersed.

That night, Itachi stood on a rooftop within the Uchiha district, the crimson glow of the moon reflecting in his eyes. His Sharingan spun wildly before shifting into the Mangekyō.

"Shisui… I will carry on your will," he murmured. "Konoha must remain at peace."

Tonight, few in the village would find sleep.

Time-Skip no jutsu

One Year Later

"The 58th year of Konoha… the fourth year of the current Hokage…" Naruto Uzumaki sat in his tiny apartment, stretching lazily. "Damn, time flies. School starts tomorrow, huh? My days as a freeloading orphan are officially over."

He flopped onto his bed. "But wait… who said I have to become a ninja? Can't I just live a peaceful civilian life? I mean, come on! Ichiraku Ramen has been around since forever. No war, no pain, no death—just endless bowls of ramen and Teuchi's protection. That's the real safe zone in Konoha!"

Just as he was seriously considering a life of noodles over ninjutsu, there was a loud knock at the door.

"Ugh, who the hell is it this late?" Naruto groaned, dragging himself up. He swung the door open and was immediately greeted by the sight of a large, familiar red and white hat.

"Yo, Old Man Third!" Naruto grinned. "What brings you to my humble, roach-infested home?"

The Third Hokage chuckled. "Naruto, I came to remind you—ninja school starts tomorrow. I'll have someone pick you up in the morning."

Naruto waved a hand dismissively. "Nah, no thanks, Gramps. I've decided I'm not going to ninja school. I'm gonna train under Uncle Teuchi and master the sacred art of ramen-making. No fighting, no killing—just pure, delicious broth."

The Third Hokage's face froze. "What?"

Naruto grinned mischievously. "I mean, think about it! Why should a broke orphan like me risk my life as a ninja? I could get blown up before I even get my first paycheck! My parents are dead, my clan is non-existent, and let's be real—who in their right mind wants to follow the worst employment plan in history?!"

The Hokage cleared his throat, forcing a smile. "Naruto, don't you want to be Hokage? Don't you want the village to acknowledge you?"

"Oh, that?" Naruto snorted. "Yeah, that was the old me. Now? I just want a stable, peaceful life—maybe open up my own ramen shop, hire a few cute waitresses, and live like a true king. Why risk my life for a title that doesn't even come with paid vacation days?"

The Third Hokage was sweating. "Damn you, Danzo! You broke his fighting spirit before he even set foot in a battlefield!"

Seeing the panic in the old man's face, Naruto smirked internally. Got him.

Desperate, the Hokage tried a different angle. "Well, Naruto, you've been receiving financial aid from the village all these years. That money comes from hardworking shinobi. Wouldn't it be fair to give back by at least learning how to defend yourself?"

Naruto resisted the urge to laugh. You're really using that argument?

Naruto scoffed internally. Allowance, my ass. My dad was the Fourth Hokage! You expect me to believe he didn't leave me a single ryo?

Instead, he put on his best "innocent orphan" face. "Oh, Old Man… I never realized how much everyone was sacrificing for me. You're right. I should at least think about it."

"Don't think about it," Hiruzen said quickly. "I'll send someone to escort you tomorrow. You're going to ninja school."

Without waiting for a response, the Hokage turned and left, muttering to himself.

Naruto leaned against the doorframe, watching the old man disappear. "Welp, there goes my peaceful civilian dream. And I bet he's gonna make sure no one in Konoha gives me a damn job either. Guess I'm stuck being a ninja…"

Sighing, Naruto pulled up a glowing screen only he could see.

Naruto smirked. Even without the Academy, his training was paying off. His chakra levels were approaching Jōnin level just from daily missions.

But still…

"Guess I'll have to waste time playing ninja with kids for a few years." He sighed dramatically before flopping onto his bed.

The Next Morning

A loud knock startled Naruto awake.

"Ugh, what time is it?!" he groaned, rubbing his eyes.

"Open up, brat!" A deep voice barked from outside. "Lord Hokage ordered me to take you to the Academy!"

Naruto rolled over, groaning. "Yeah, yeah! Putting my pants on!"

He lazily pulled on his clothes and styled his hair into the same slicked-back look he'd seen in some old samurai movies.

Inspired from Aizen

With a smirk, he stared at his reflection. "Alright, ladies of Konoha, get ready. Uzumaki Naruto is coming for you~"

He opened the door dramatically, flashing his best grin. "Let's go, sensei! Time to charm my way into history!"

The shinobi escort just sighed. "Why me…?"

And thus, Naruto's Academy days began.

Naruto looked lewd, Girls, here I come, hehehe...
