Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto Or Fairy Tail


"What!"

Gathered in the Hokage's office, all Four Kage winced at the shout of anger from the Fifth Hokage.

"How can they do this to him? After everything he's done, they're just going to throw him away!"

"Tsunade..."Onoki started carefully not wanting to have the slug princesses ire turned on him. "The kind of power he holds know makes a lot of people nervous. Its-"

Tsunade smashed a fist into her desk shattering the wood into hundreds of pieces. "If you say for the best I will throw you out the goddamn window."

"Maybe we should all calm down Hokage-Dono. No one like what is being done but unless we can figure out a way to stop them without going to war again, there is nothing we can do." Garaa said as Onoki began to twitch. It wouldn't do well for the Five Kage to be fighting so soon after the war.

Slumping back into her chair Tsunade pulled a bottle of sake from one of her drawers. "I just can't believe they are doing this, and there is nothing I can do."

Using his sand Garaa took the bottle from the Hokage before she could begin to drink. "We should call him here and tell him what's going on. He won't like it, but we all know he'll understand their decision." He said ignoring the death glare Tsunade sent him.

"Kazekage-Dono is right Hokage-Dono. Summon the brat and let's get this over with." A said gruffly his tone relaying how he felt about the situation at hand. Kumo had always respected strength above all else, so it was no surprise to the other Kage's he was pissed at losing a powerful Shinobi.

Nodding Tsunade called for her ANBU already dreading the conversation that was about to take place.

"I can't believe it's really him."

"Do you think it actually true? That he saved the entire world."

"He did save the village after all so maybe."

Ignoring the whispers behind his back and the giggling from the group of girls on the other side of the restaurant Naruto slurped down his fifth bowl of ramen. "Keep it coming Ayame I worked up an appetite training today."

"Ramen will have to wait Naruto, Tsunade and the other Kages want to see you."

Spinning on his stool, Naruto grinned at his Sensei. "I'm never going to get used to seeing you without your headband covering one of your eyes Kakashi-Sensei. It's just too weird."

"Meh, I'm sure you will in a few months. Now the Kages are waiting so let's get going; we don't want to be late." With that Kakashi puffed out of existence.

"I don't want to hear that from him," Naruto muttered dropping what he owed for his ramen on the counter ignoring Ayame's protest. "I'll be back later Ayame so keep the ramen warm for me!"

Jumping onto the roof, Naruto started leaping towards the Hokage tower waving to the citizens in the street when they caught sight of him. It had been two months since the end of the Fourth Shinobi War, and the amount of praise that was heaped on him for his part in saving the world was a gift wrapped in a curse.

All the acknowledgment he craved as a child was now his and even after everything that had happened the little kid inside of him who was shunned reveled in the attention. The catch was it came at the cost of his best friend and brother.

The world would never know Sasuke Uchiha, Nuke-nin of Konoha had given his life for the greater good. For all his faults Sasuke had in the end done what was right, but that didn't make it any easier for Naruto to live his life as a hero when he couldn't even save a friend.

Rubbing a bandaged hand over the seal on his forearm Naruto couldn't keep his mind of the parting gifts he had received from Sasuke before his death. Things hadn't looked good against Kaguya, and in the Uchiha's final moments he had handed over what he thought the leaf would need without him around. "Bastard, like I would ever use any of those things."

Coming up on the Hokage Tower Naruto shook those thoughts away plastering a smile on his face. Sasuke was gone, but he was still here, and he could protect the leaf for the Uchiha's. Maybe get Baa-Chan to start up the police force again.

"Kakashi, where is Naruto?"

"I'm sure he is on his way-"

"I'm here Baa-chan!" Naruto called leaping into the room through the open window. "Are you guy finally naming me Hokage?"

It was supposed to be a joke. Him boasting as he always did because he knew that him becoming Hokage at sixteen wasn't going to happen no matter how much ass he kicked in the war. The old man had been made Hokage when he was seventeen, but that was way back during the end of the First Shinobi War, and he was the God of Shinobi. You couldn't compare regular people to guys like the Sandaime; it just wasn't fair.

"Naruto next week you are going to be inducted as the Rokudaime Hokage."

"What?" He asked staring at Tsunade. He couldn't have heard right because it sounded like she just told him he was becoming Hokage.

"You are being named Hokage Naruto. Your dream is about to become a reality."

That time Garaa had said it. Looking between the Five kages who were all smiling, even the Raikage he looked towards Kakashi who was staring wide eyed at his student.

"I'm going to become Hokage. YATTA!"

"You should have given him the bad news first Tsunade." A grumbled as Naruto jumped around in joy. The boy was about to be brought down to earth, and it wasn't going to a slow landing.

"Naruto...Naruto...NARUTO!"

Halting his dance Naruto covered his head at the shout. After a minute and the punch, he had been expecting didn't connect he opened his eyes. "Hey, what's wrong Baa-Chan?" He asked when he saw the unshed tears in her eyes as she looked at him.

Pulling herself together Tsunade handed Naruto a scroll. "This came from the Fire Daimyo last week. My fellow Kages each received scroll with the same message from their Daimyos. I'm sorry."

Reading through the scroll Naruto didn't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. There was no way this was happening. He had just saved the world they couldn't...they couldn't. "They can't kick me out of the Elemental Nations! Where would I even go? There's nothing but ocean and maybe a few uninhabited islands out there."

"Naruto we can figure something out. The Fire Daimyo has given you a year, but you can't leave the village. That's why we're making you Hokage. You deserve to lead the village even if it is only for a year." Tsunade explained softly as she watched Naruto's face fall. Standing up she took the Hokages at off and held it out to the blonde. "You are starting now, and there is a lot of paperwork so no time to mope for you."

"I understand," Naruto said smiling as he took the hat. The Hidden villages needed the Daimyos funding to stay active, and he would never harm Konoha. "The best thing to do is agree peacefully and spend my last year with all my friends."

My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and in a year as you all know I will be banished from the Elemental Nations on account of my power scaring the Daimyos. They think I'm going to become some power hungry dictator and take control of their countries from them. I would never do that, but they don't want to take the risk and let me stay. That's ok, though, I understand their reasoning, and I don't want the Shinobi villages fighting on my behalf.

Anyway I'm writing this journal to...I guess share my last few months with everyone I didn't get to spend enough time with, which is pretty much everyone. I haven't had much free time lately thanks to being made the Rokudaime Hokage of the Leaf. I'm sure you were all there, so I won't get into how awesome it was, but it was amazing. For so long I wanted to be Hokage, and now that I am I'm going to do my best to help the village no matter how short my time under the hat is.

It's been three months since I became the Rokudaime and the paper works sucks. I always thought the Old man and Baa-Chan were just lazy, but I have been proven wrong. There so much of it, always piling up on my desk while I sleep or I'm out for lunch. And it takes me twice as long to do it since I didn't know anything about running the village at first. I have never been gladder to be able to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu. The memories involving all the politics and inner workings of Konoha are boring, so I'm glad I don't have to read all the books. Technically I am reading them, so Baa-chan shouldn't get so mad about me pawning my Hokage Duties off to my clones.

We just hit the six-month mark in my last year in Konoha, and everyone is still sad, but I don't want them to be. I want them to enjoy life with me while I can still enjoy it with them.

Not much is happening in the Hokage office at the moment, so I guess I'll talk about my training. My Six Paths Sage Mode has been perfected thanks to the diligent work of my Shadow Clones. With My new powers, Jutsus have become easier to learn, and I can even use all of the elements. Super Gramps Sage must have been awesome when he was still alive. I'm going to start working on mixing the elements together. Tsunade Baa-Chan is going to be so surprised!

Ten months I've been Hokage, and it feels like it passed in a flash. The village is doing great, and next week the other Four Kages are coming to Konoha to sign a peace treaty extending the Shinobi Alliance. I won't be around to see it, but I hope it will last, and the Shinobi world will know peace. It was Ero-Sennin dream after all, and as his student, it was my duty to make that dream come true when he couldn't. I hope I have and that he can see it wherever he is.

Last week Kakashi was named Nanadaime Hokage. I'm happy for him, even though I doubt he's happy. No more being late Sensei, it's unbecoming of a Hokage.

As for me. Well, my year is up in a few days, and it's time for me to head out. I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm not just leaving the Elemental Nations to go live on some Island out at sea. This past year I had Shadow clones working non-stop on Fuinjutsu, and I've created a seal that's going to send me to another dimension. It takes a lot of Chakra to use so I'll leave it active in the Hokage's vault, that way I can send messages to you guys.

I know it's not much, sending messages but it is the best I can do with what I've got to work with.

The seal is finished charging so I have to go now, but I will send a message back the first chance I get.

Good Bye Everyone
Signed Rokudaime Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto.
