Disclaimer: Don’t own Naruto.
A/N: An idea I was playing with for a while now.
Naruto and Sarutobi were both sitting in the Ichiraku
Ramen Stand. Naruto had just finished his twenty-third bowl of ramen. They were
the only ones there, besides old man Ichiraku. Sarutobi had just finished his
first. ‘Where does that boy put it all…not that I’m complaining or anything.’ Ichiraku
wondered about his best customer.
Sarutobi looked at Naruto. “Naruto-kun…I’m very proud of the work you’ve
put forward these past few months…working with Kakashi, Sasuke, and
Sakura…You’ve done very well from what I’ve heard.”
Naruto looked at the old man with a foxy smile. “Thanks Hokage-jiji.”
Sarutobi just looked at Naruto for a while. “Naruto-kun…if you continue
this path of yours…I have no doubt that you will not only become Hokage, but
become the greatest of them all.” Naruto sighed…and dropped his head for a
second… Sarutobi looked at the boy questioningly, “Is there something wrong
Naruto-kun?”
Naruto looked unsure for a while…honestly… “I don’t want to…be Hokage…” Sarutobi
and Ichiraku just stared at the boy as if they’d just been told that the sky
was pink. “Honestly…I spent so much time with you…and…well…no… I mean sure the
respect you get for the title is great and all…but the rest of the job sucks… I
mean you have to do all that paper work all day…assign missions to people…deal
with those asshole council members and clan heads daily…not to mention bastard
politicals from other countries…and most of all you gotta deal with young punks
like me… its just…no…” He looked at the third Hokage who had his mouth opened wide…he
was stunned. Ichiraku was in the same position. Naruto spoke again, “Honestly
it seems that the only reason you’re STILL here is because you can’t find a
successor who is willing to take your place…I honestly think that Fathe- I mean
that Yondaime was the last idiot, stupid enough to take the job.” He looked to
see Sarutobi still stunned. “Anyway…I may act foolish sometime…but I’m just way
to smart to take that job.” Naruto jumped out of his stool and started walking
off. “Thanks for the Ramen!”, he called over his
shoulder.
Sarutobi just sat there…for what seemed like hours…Ichiraku was stunned
as well. Finally the Third’s head dropped to the table and he started
sniffling. Ichiraku started patting him on the back. “This job SUCKS!”
That is my opinion about the Hokage position. Lol. FYI
This doesn't neccessarily go with my other Story. "Chronicles
of Tsukigakure" Anyways Let
me know what you think. And if you like it...Please read my other fic.
