Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

It was another sunny morning, and Team 7 gathered at the usual meeting point. Sasuke was glaring at Naruto like he was ready to kill him, while Sakura stood awkwardly between them, wondering, Why isn't Kakashi-sensei here yet? That b*****d!

Naruto lazily rolled his eyes and met Sasuke's death glare. "Hey, hey, all I did was knock you out and drag you back to bed. What's the big deal?"

Sakura, who had just taken a sip of water, nearly choked and sprayed it out. Knocked out and dragged back to bed?! A very wrong image formed in her mind…

"Shut up!" Sasuke's face twitched, dark lines forming on his forehead. He huffed and turned away with an irritated hmph!

It was nearly noon when Kakashi finally showed up. He gave them a lazy wave. "Yo! Good morning, everyone. I got lost on the way here~."

"LIAR!" Sakura screamed.

After a long, exhausting day of training and missions, Sasuke and Sakura stared at Naruto, who was lying comfortably in a sun lounger, completely unbothered.

Sakura turned to Kakashi, fuming. "Kakashi-sensei, why aren't you saying anything?! This guy does nothing!"

Kakashi, still reading his book, replied casually, "Oh, Naruto said he'll give up his share of the mission rewards from now on. We'll use it for team outings and food."

That shut them up.

Meanwhile, Naruto was thinking to himself, Mission rewards? How much could that even be worth? Gato was one of the richest men in the ninja world, and I may have taken a little 'bonus' during that mission…

Just as Kakashi finished submitting their report, a sharp caw echoed from the sky. A messenger hawk. Kakashi glanced up.

"Alright, we're done for today. Dismissed. I need to handle some business."

Sasuke, stretching, said, "I'll be at the training grounds."

As they were leaving, three familiar voices rang out.

"Haha! Take this, Konohamaru!"

"You won't catch me that easily!"

It was Konohamaru and his little gang, playing ninja as they ran past Naruto and the others. Unfortunately, Konohamaru wasn't paying attention and bumped right into a tall, hooded ninja dressed in all black, with a strange bandage-wrapped object on his back.

The man grabbed Konohamaru by the collar, lifting him off the ground. "Ow! Let me go, you jerk!"

It was Kankuro. Next to him stood a tall blonde girl with a giant fan strapped to her back—Temari.

Kankuro grinned. "Heh, what a loud brat."

Temari sighed. "Kankuro, put him down. You wanna get into trouble already?"

Kankuro ignored her, turning to look at Naruto. "Hey, you, blondie! This kid yours?"

Naruto, who had barely been paying attention, finally looked up—only to see Temari.

Oh.

In an instant, he disappeared from sight.

"Wha—?!" Kankuro and Temari's eyes widened.

Naruto reappeared right in front of Temari, standing just inches from her.

With a puff, a small cloud of smoke appeared in his hand, and when it cleared, he was holding out a single red rose.

"Beautiful lady, care to have dinner with me?" Naruto grinned. "Name's Uzumaki Naruto, ninja ID #012607. Let's get to know each other~."

Temari's face turned red. She took a step back before snapping out of it.

"H-Hey! Back off, you idiot!"

Kankuro, seeing his sister flustered, instantly got pissed. "You little sh*t! Who the hell do you think you are?! You wanna die?"

Naruto, completely ignoring him, pointed at Konohamaru. "You do realize you're holding the grandson of the Third Hokage, right?"

"Nani?!"

Kankuro immediately dropped Konohamaru like a hot potato. "Uhh—my bad, kid!"

Still irritated, Kankuro turned back to Naruto. "Tch. You're pretty cocky for a kid. Just looking at you pisses me off."

Naruto just smirked. "Aw, you jealous? Sasuke, go kick his ass."

A thunk! A pebble shot through the air, smacking Kankuro's wrist hard. He winced and looked up to see Sasuke perched on a tree branch, his Sharingan glowing faintly.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, picking fights in someone else's village?" Sasuke said coldly.

Kankuro growled. "Tch. I hate guys like you. Always acting cool and sh*t."

He reached for the puppet on his back—only for another voice to cut through the tension.

"Kankuro. Stop."

The air froze.

A deep, emotionless voice came from above. Hanging upside down from a tree branch was a red-haired boy, a massive gourd strapped to his back.

Kankuro stiffened. "G-Gaara…?"

The sand around Gaara's feet started shifting. His pale blue eyes glowed with barely restrained menace. "You're an embarrassment to our village. If you act like a fool again, I'll kill you myself."

The weight of Gaara's bloodlust made Kankuro freeze. Even Temari looked uneasy.

"Got it, got it!" Kankuro stammered. "My bad!"

Naruto casually hopped onto a branch near Gaara, grinning. "Yo! Hey there, brother-in-law~!"

The air grew silent.

Gaara's head snapped toward Naruto. His sand twitched. Temari and Kankuro's jaws dropped.

"When?!" Gaara had no idea how Naruto had moved so close.

Gaara instantly appeared next to his siblings, sand swirling protectively around him.

Naruto waved. "Man, you're fast! No wonder Temari likes you!"

Temari's face burned. "H-Hey! What the hell are you talking about?!"

Kankuro, still sweating bullets from Gaara's threat, now had his face twisted in horror. "Oh, hell no. No way in hell is Gaara your brother-in-law!"

Naruto just smirked. "Not yet~."

Temari facepalmed. "I swear, I'm going to kill you."

Gaara just stared at Naruto for a moment, his expression unreadable. Then, without a word, he turned and walked away.

"Let's go," Gaara said simply.

Kankuro sighed in relief and quickly followed.

Temari gave Naruto one last look before huffing and storming off.

Naruto just waved. "Don't forget my name, Temari-chan! Let's keep in touch~!"

The three Sand siblings disappeared into the village, and Sasuke, still in the tree, just shook his head.

Sakura groaned, rubbing her temples. "Naruto, you really have a death wish, don't you?"

Naruto shrugged. "What can I say? Life's more fun that way~."
