Later that day Tsunade was officially destined to be the fifth Hokage. Naruto was in his finally rebuilt home and laid laid down gently on the couch, placing his photo of his mom and dad on the new coffee table. Naruto stared at it and sighed.

Orochimaru suddenly appeared next to him and Naruto jumped but wince d holding his chest.

"Careful. I was just dropping by to check on your health." Orochimaru grabbed a Syringe and injected pain medicine into Naruto's chest and placed his ear to his chest and listened to the heart beat. After he was covincedit was healthy he sighed and looked at him.

"I apologize for Kabuto's attempt of your life, boy. I didn't inform him about you working for me." Orochimaru smirked. "Now. There is a man in this village holding something dear to me. I want you to hunt him down and find my scroll. It has a purple ribbon on it." Orochimaru gave him a photo.

"..." Naruto looked at the photograph.

When he looked up Orochimaru was gone. Naruto looked at the photo of the man and sighed. He remembered the description and wrote it down.

"All this because I don't want Kakashi with a course mark..." Naruto mumbled and then chuckled. "I'm an idiot..."

Naruto stood and felt able to move and walked out and looked for the man in the photo. Naruto didn't want to be reginized, so he wore a mask of his mothers. An Anbu mask. He wore a black cloak and moved like a shadow on the rooftops. He eventually found the man and followed him.

Nightfall came and Naruto followed him still. He was gonna follow him until he got home. The man walked to his house and Naruto jumped into the back yard and walked in. He snuck around, watching the man carefully. Naruto snuck around, looking through things to find that scroll. He did find it...in the man's room. Naruto waited for the guy to fall asleep.

Naruto walked in and stared at him. He walked to the glass box and opened it and grabbed the scroll and closed the box. The man suddenly woke and attacked Naruto. Naruto kickd the man back with force and was suddenly in his face and knocked him out with t he end of his Kunai. Naruto ran out the window and ran home. He walked in and saw Orochimaru sitting on his couch. Naruto threw the scroll at his head but Orochimaru caught it and smirked.

"Good work. I'll find something for you to do later." Orochimaru finished and shunshined away.

Naruto took the mask off and cloak off and hid them in his closet. He looked at the bloody end of the Kunai and the blood from the man's head on his hand. Naruto washed his hands and the Kunai. He changed into his pyjamas and sat down in front of the photo and looked at Minato. Naruto frowned and looked at his mom. He looked over at the window and froze, seeing someone staring at him. They wore a cloak. A black one. They had sky blue eyes and they looked at him. Naruto walked to the window and opened it.

"Um...who are you and why are you looking at me?" Naruto asked.

"O-oh. I am a person. I have been watching you for a few days now. I can't explain who I am yet. It's complicated..." The man spoke.

"Want to come in?" Naruto asked.

"Sure this bud." The man said and walked in.

He took his cloak off and he wore a mask that covered his entire head except his eyes. The mask was a plane one with a few marks on it. But he was a ninja. A hidden leaf headband was on his arm. Naruto gave him food and water.

"So...who are you?" Naruto asked.

"Well, looks like I can't escape your curiosity." The man laughed lightly. "I am a dead man...I was once an important person but not anymore. I...uh...I was injured pretty bad. And died. Or I thought i did. My body went into a shut down and I thought i was dead. But someone helped me. This man with a medicine that was working miracles. It healed me. But for a while I couldn't do anything. He kept me locked away for study. But one day he let me go...and I found my way here...and to you." The man explained.

"Want to stay here for a while?" Naruto asked.

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude. Your mom won't allow it." The man said.

"Oh, I quess you knew Kushina. She isn't alive anymore..." Naruto frowned.

"I'm so sorry...to hear that." He frowned.

Later that day Naruto went out with Kakashi to get some Ramen. Naruto ate three bowls and Kakashi ate five. They spent time together and Naruto was happy.

"It's really late....we should head home." Kakashi recommended.

"..." Naruto suddenly collapsed.

"Naruto!?" Kakashi gasped.

He felt his forehead and it was burning up. Kakashi picked him up and ran him to the hospital. Jirayah was following after seeing Kakashi. They got him to the hospital and the doctors soon found out Naruto was ill and he caught a sickness. The flu as it seems.

"Hang in there." Kakashi looked at him. "You'll be just fine."
