Naruto: I became the Third Hokage

(Third PoV)

The day passed, and Akame had transplanted her father's Mangekyo Sharingan in her Kamui Mangekyo, so it is now an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, though it will take some time to adapt.

She is wearing an eyepatch over that eye, and has hidden it with the transformation jutsu.

Today is her first day as the Hokage.

The ANBU currently didn't have many members. Just 30. Since there aren't many civilian ninjas right now.

But, they all possess the strength of Jonins.

"Remove your masks."

The ANBU ninjas removed their masks, and they mostly consisted of civilians that Second Hokage has trained.

One by one, they told their names, and Akame realised that one person was Orochimaru's mother. Orohime, with codename Snake. She is a contractor of Ryuchi Cave. Though, her husband did die in the first Ninja War.

Perhaps due to her presence, Orochimaru's mother is still alive.

"Alright. Wear back your masks."

After dealing with her ANBU, she looked at the scroll on her table.

It was from Kumo.

Apparently, A has become the Third Raikage, and is demanding compensation from Konoha for killing the Second Raikage and asking to return the treasure tools.

"Kumo really has no shame."

While other villages don't have the means to search the memories of the dead like Yamanakas, the backstabbing of Raikage, along with the remnants of chakra of Kinkaku and Ginkaku in Second Raikage's body should be enough to prove that it was Kinkaku and Ginkaku force which betrayed Kumo and killed Second Raikage.

Akame wrote a letter to Uzukage about returning the weapons, and to be cautious about Kumo and Kiri mainly.

Afterall, the explosive sword of Kiri in the Naruto series is actually a weapon of Uzumaki clan. Just like the tools of Sage of Six Paths.

Uzumaki clan is not much of a warrior clan like the Senju and Uchihas. That's why they have been living on their islands and have not joined Konoha.

In the First Ninja War, Uzumaki clan has helped Konoha a lot. They only sold explosive tags and other seals to Konoha, and didn't raise the price to take advantage of the war.

Uzumaki clan is the most important ally of Konoha.

After thinking about it, Akame added the Multi-Shadow Clones Jutsu scroll, and it's use in learning things faster. It is a perfect jutsu for Uzumaki clan.

"Call Danzo and Kagami."

An ANBU left, and soon, Danzo and Kagami arrived.

"Danzo, take this letter and deliver it to Kumo. Demand compensation from Kumo for killing the Second Hokage. Reparations of 4 billion Ryo, heads of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and warn them to stay within their borders.

If Third Raikage remains stubborn, remind him that the clouds have formed over Land of Lightning again. And if negotiations fail, I will personally come to 'negotiate'.

Boar, go with Danzo."

"Understood."

Danzo took my letter for the 10 year old Raikat, and left. Right now, while he does want to become Hokage, he doesn't have Hiruzen as the Hokage to let him do as he pleases.

In the original timeline, Hiruzen probably did not want war, and gave up the treasure tools to Kumo.

"Kagami, take these tools, my letter, and show it to Mito-sama. Ask her to recommend someone from the Senju clan to go with you and deliver them to the Uzumaki clan.

And return safely. You are the next clan head of the Uchiha clan."

"Understood."

Kagami also left on the mission.

The peace treaties with Suna and Kiri are already done, Iwa hasn't violated peace treaty with us. And Rain, which bought Five-tails, attacked Konoha with Suna, resulting in the Five tails jinchuriki dying.

I intend to capture Five tails and become it's jinchuriki. Not forcefully like Madara, and not like First Hokage capturing them because he thought that they are too strong.

I am going to take care of uncle Madara. But I know that even when I get Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, I would be no match for him.

So Boil Release is something that will be very useful.

Instead of letting Iwa capture him, I should take him in. And, Five tails seems to be the most reasonable after seven tails.

Though, Seven tails is with Waterfall village, and they are a firm ally of Konoha.

Anyway, it will take some years for him to reform, but First Hokage have left the detailed location of the tailed beasts from where he captured them.

"Snake, call Hiruzen."

The next thing on focus is the academy.

In the Warring Clans Era, being a kid meant 5-6 years old. Afterall, first Hokage married when he was just 15-16 years old.

That's why the current graduation age of the academy is just 6 years. Mainly because most of the ninjas currently come from clans, with barely some civilians.

Having a Jonin teach them how to throw Shuriken individually is a waste.

Hiruzen arrived, with black circles under his eyes. He must have not slept well.

"Good morning Hokage-sama."

"Good morning.

Hiruzen, I am making you incharge of the Ninja academy. What do you think the graduation age should be, 14 or 16?

Each graduate should be atleast able to do water walking, body flicker, and be able to perform D-rank and C-rank missions in the vicinity of Konoha in their final years."

Hiruzen is undoubtedly a good teacher, if he was able to make Jiraiya a top fighter.

It will be better if he taught more people at the same time.

"I think... 15 should be enough. And we should add early graduation for the more talented ones. But if we are going to increase the graduation age so much, we will need to include various fields in more detail like genjutsu, medical ninjutsu, fuinjutsu and such.

But... wouldn't we need to have atleast 20 years of peace if we want to increase the graduation age so much?"

"I will be holding a Kage summit soon. And I will tell them why they shouldn't wage wars so easily."

In the first 5 Kage summit, Kazekage had demanded Land of Fire's fertile land and 30% of the money that other villages are going to pay for buying the tailed beasts, while giving nothing in return.

So, Tobirama had tricked First Hokage to have a spar with Kazekage to enhance friendship, just like the friendship between Madara and Hashirama grew with sparring.

Watching the collosal Wood Golem with Wood dragon around its neck, and that being not even his largest attack, the 5 Kage realised their weakness in front of the God of Shinobi.

Once they see a full body Susanoo, they will start waiting for Akame to die before even thinking about launching another war.

And this time, all smaller ninja villages' Kages will also be invited. If someone tries to pull anything again, the battlefield will be the warring country, not buffer states.

Akame started discussing changes to be made for the academy with Hiruzen, shoved the responsibility of assigning D-rank and C-rank missions near the village to him, and came up with an apprenticeship system alongside the academy.

For now, three apprentice teams were made with four apprentices each.

Team Akame: Orochimaru, Tsunade Senju, Hatake Sakumo, Might Duy

Team Hiruzen: Uchiha Indra, Dan, Jiraiya, Hyuga Hikari(a branch family member)

Team Torifu: Aburame Shitsu, Inuzuka Kagali, Kurama Harui, Hyuga Kuroto(branch family)

"Let's think about the other's teams after they return. Alright. Prepare a draft syllabus for the academy."

With that, Hiruzen left.

Next, Akame called for Homura and Nara Shikaru.

"You two, head to the Daimyo's palace and invite the Daimyo to the Hokage ceremony. Shikaru, discreetly watch the political alignments of the people around Daimyo. If anyone seem to have ill intention towards the Daimyo, inform him, and stay there for a while to protect him along with Homura. And escort him to Konoha respectfully.

Make sure that the Daimyo feels respected and safe. Don't talk about funding before he comes to Konoha.

Shikaru, you will be incharge."

"Yes Hokage-sama."

The wording was clear. Eliminate anyone who tries to whisper into Daimyo's ears about withholding or reducing the funds for Konoha by telling the Daimyo that they are conspiring against him.

Unlike villages like Suna and Kiri, Konoha doesn't need to beg to the Daimyo. Currently, they didn't even need to have Daimyo appoint the Hokage, unlike when Daimyo appointed Danzo.

Konoha is standing strong.
