I am an Outcast, I am a Curse, I am a Master, I am a Leader, That is Who I am.

A year has past since Orochimaru andthe Akatsuki were all killed and the Hidden Leaf Village was experiencing a time of peace. Many of the younger Jonin were presiding over the Chunin exams and the older Jonin were meeting with the Hokage for the important matter of deciding on who will be the next Hokage.

"I nominate Lee!"

Shouts Guy from across the room.

Tsunade just looks at him as if to say "well duh" and says

"I know you want Lee to be Hokage, we all knew you wanted that before you walked through the door, but don't you think Neji would also make a good Hokage?"

"Yes he would, but we are talking about Lee here."

"Sit down Guy."

"Yes Lady Hokage."

"So Might Guy nominates Rock Lee and Hyūga Neji to be Hokage. Are there any others who have had students they see great power and leadership in?"

Kurenai speaks up "Aburame Shino has earned my nomination and if Asuma were still alive he would have nominated Shikamaru."

"Thank you Kurenai, both of them will be considered and your nominations are appreciated"

"I would have liked to have nominated Hinata, but she has been in a depression for a long time."

"There's been a bit of that going around"

Tsunade turns her head to face Kakashi.

"Oh yes we were wondering when you would speak about the nominations for your students, they are the most impressive of all the other nominations."

"Uchiha Sasuke will not be nominated even though he has proved that we can trust him again."

"Why is that?"

"Killing his brother has not given him the peace he thought he would receive. Sasuke has finally realized what his thrust for Itachi's blood has turned him into and he can't seem to be happy right now. "

"I see, and what about Naruto and Sakura?"

"They of course get my full nomination Naruto has shown his power and wisdom by eliminating the Akatsuki leader and Sakura was the one who finally killed Orochimaru, but you all know which one we are all thinking of making Hokage."

It is then that Jiraiya puts in his two cents.

"Yes I think that Naruto has shown us all that he is more then good enough to be Hokage, but is he really ready for it?"

Kakashi thinks for a moment and then says

"I don't know, maybe with more time he will be ready."

Tsunade also in deep thought finally takes what Kakashi said into consideration.

"Lucky for us the purpose of this meeting is only to choose a young ninja to succeed me in a few years. Having said that we should pursue this matter in another year or so…. Kakashi what's wrong?"

"There is someone watching us."

Kakashi throws a shuriken at the wall and a figure emerges and quickly grabs Kakashi and Jiraiya around the neck. The mysterious ninja then laughs.

"Is that anyway to treat an old friend who has come a long way?"

Kakashi and Jiraiya look at each other with blank looks on their faces and Kakashi finally sounding very surprised says.

"Kenji?"

They both turn around to see a handsome man with black hair in a pony tail in strange armor and they start laughing and jumping up and down in excitement with everyone else in shock.

"Kakashi!! You've grown up kiddo! Little man last time I saw you you only came up to my waist!"

He hugs Kakashi's neck and misses up his hair as if he were still just a kid.

"And Jiraiya, you still a horny bastard?"

Kakashi cuts Jiraiya off before he can answer.

"Kenji I can't believe that you're even in front of me right now, I thought you would never come back."

The rest of the people in the room are blown away because Kakashi was acting like a completely different person. He was acting more innocent and childlike.

"Did you guys really think I was never going to come see the two of you again just because Arashi's dead. I always panned to come visit the two of you I've just been busy and who is this?"

His eye's then turned to gaze upon Tsunade and he moved toward her with a look in his eyes that she knew all to well.

"You know I live among the clouds and yet I have never seen an angel until today, what is your name?"

"My name is Tsunade."

"Really? So she is the one who shares the same name as my little sister. Remember Jiraiya."

"I almost forgot about that cute little sister of yours."

Kenji turned back to Tsunade.

"You know, my family would love to meet you if you would like to come to my home with me."

Jiraiya, thinking that this was just like old times finally decided to give Kenji a little information about Tsunade.

"Kenji you do know she is a 54 year old woman?"

Kenji turned to Jiraiya.

"I know that, but she has a good soul and a better everything else."

He turned back to Tsunade.

"I know my words are not enough to win your heart, I have seen into your soul and know that you have lost many people dear to your heart, but if you allow me I will make your pain easier to bear."

He then gives her a kiss. Normally she would beat the crap out of anyone who tried this, but this kiss was like heaven and Tsunade blushed with enjoyment. It was so good that she could not help but take it in. All the other ninja noticed this and Kurenai asked Jiraiya.

"What did he just do?"

"He uses Chakra to magnify touch and pleasure in the brain and before any of you ask me how he did it let me tell you that I have already asked him two million times and he won't even give me a hint!"

Anko who like all the other female ninjas was now blushing asks.

"Kakashi are you going to introduce us to your friend?"

"Yes, this is Sukai Kenji, he was Yondaime Hokage's very best friend. The two of them were like brothers. He is also one of the Demon Bane Guardians."

"You have to be joking Kakashi the Demon Bane Guardians are a myth, aren't they?"

"I'm not joking Kurenai, Kenji's father is Lord Saionin the Grand Master of the Village of Heaven which is a floating village in the sky. The minerals that the village is made up of give them the power to mold time and space which they use for training. They become so powerful that they can battle demons that we would have trouble with everyday to keep us and other villages safe. If you don't believe me look at his armor."

Guy takes a look at Kenji for a moment.

"He's right that is the Heaven Village's symbol."

Kurenai then asks.

"If you guys kill demons why were you not here to save us when the fox attacked us?"

Kenji face then turns to that of sadness and regret.

"I want to say I'm sorry for that. We all felt terrible and it was our fault that it attacked. You see the Demon Lords masked the fox's aura so we had no idea it was even in the village. As for why it attacked I'm sure Arashi told you that it was there to kill my little sister."

"What!"

Shouts Kakashi.

"Your sister was here that night?"

"Yes, I guess there was no time for Arashi to explain her being here and in her condition there was no why for her to fight the fox which is why she died, and that's why I'm here."

"So you're here to apologize and take your sister's remains back to her home land?"

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kenji says with a laugh.

"I'm here to see Naruto!"

"What!!!!!!!"

Shouts everyone all at once.

"You all look surprised, when we sent scouts to see what had happened he came back and told us that my sister Tsunade and Arashi had been killed and their son Naruto was safe and you guys were looking after him. That's why I'm here, you see pops is sick and he thinks he only has a few years left and he wants me to bring Naruto back to meet his family and train him to be the next Grand Master."

By this point everyone in the room is shocked and horribly disturbed by this news.

All Kakashi can say is.

"So Naruto is going to be the new Grand Master of the village of Heaven!? But you are Lord Saionin's only son shouldn't you be Grand Master?"

"No way everyone loved Tsunade and pops choose her and her alone to be Grand Master and if she dies before she can become Grand Master then her child is to take her place. We don't argue with pop's wishes, besides you all look surprised by this news didn't you know that Naruto was Arashi's kid?"

"We had no idea the 4th was even married let alone that he had a son and he didn't tell us before he died."

"Well, his marriage had to be kept a secret until pops could pay off the man she was arranged to marry. You see Arashi and Tsunade fell in love during that time I brought her along to see you guys and there was no way that pops could say no to their relationship when we found out that Arashi was her soul mate so we asked them to keep their marriage under lock and key, then she became with child and we thought it would be better for her to give birth in her husband's homeland so he took her with him when he came back to this village. Naruto must look more like his mother if you couldn't see any similarities between him and Arashi. One of the reasons why we never tried to see Naruto until now was that we just thought that it would send more demons after him and we thought it would be better to leave him with a village full of people to love him."

It was at that moment that everyone was starting to look ashamed and fearful.

"So Naruto has been living life just like any other child then?"

Kakashi goes to answer him but Kenji starts talking again.

"You know what? I'm just going to let Naruto tell me all about his childhood when I see him. Come on guys I know the Chūnin exams are going on but I'm sure we can interrupt them for this, let's go."

Kenji ran out the room leaving the rest of the ninja with looks of impending doom on their faces.

Kurenai finally speaks.

"Kakashi? Are we screwed?"

"No Kurenai we are not screwed, we are so far beyond screwed that the light from screwed will take a billion years just to reach us."
