Naruto: The Gamer Hokage

Land of Earth,

"So, you met Konoha Genin Squad which coincidentally had a Jinchuriki and did nothing?" Third Tsuchikage Oniki stared at Han with a serious expression as he asked.

Then, he suddenly realized something and sighed.

"No, of course you didn't. You didn't think killing or taking away Konoha's only Jinchuriki would benefit the village."

"Even I did, I wasn't sure if I could kill him. His relationship with his tailed beast was different from mine. While we normally agree only in a war against Konoha, his Tailed Beast was willing to help him without trying to take control."

"More importantly, he also knew the name of his Tailed Beast. And, considering just how long mine had been with me, it's surprising."

Han immediately resorted without showing any sign of remorse for his actions.

Oniki stared at him for a moment with the look of 'Do you expect me to believe it?'. Then, he shook his head and said.

"Well, it doesn't matter since they did help us restrain you during your rage. Though I admit if you had fought back, I doubt they would be alive. So, I should thank you for your effort."

Han raised his hand and said.

"There is no need. They were my students and I didn't want to kill my students. I am still mad that you brought me back but I can do nothing now."

Oniki sighed.

"Roshi has already distanced himself from us. You can't do the same. We live in a cursed world, Han. The war will begin at any time. Our country isn't strong but we always keep standing."

"That is the Will of Stone. Until I find my successor, you and I can't catch a break."

Hearing his words, Han got silent for a moment before asking.

"So, are you going to promote Kurotsuchi? She is more than a capable Chunin."

Oniki suddenly smirked and said.

"I have been thinking about it but now, I have a better plan. Han, what do you think of sending our team to Konoha for the next Chunin Exam."

Han paused for a moment and said.

"That boy is still a Genin. With his power level, I bet he will participate in the next Chunin Exam. Do you think she will be ready to face someone like him?"

He had already explained every single detail about Naruto's strength that he learned from his team. So, he had a doubt about Kurotsuchi facing off against Naruto.

"If she hadn't reached that strength, then you just have to help her. Han, Kurotsuchi might be short-tempered but she is an excellent kunoichi and has the potential to inherit this hat."

"But, only if she can get stronger. Deidara was a prodigy but he wasn't a Kage material. I doubt he was even a proper Ninja material. I regret about his defection but nothing is going to change that now."

"We need someone to be ready to inherit this hat and right now, I only see that potential in my daughter. Roshi is too old. You are too distanced. Akatsuchi has power but also a limit."

"So, we need Kurotsuchi to get stronger, stronger than she is. And, only you can help her."

Han looked at Oniki for a moment before heavily sighing.

"I do what I need to do."

He turned around and left.

Oniki sighed and contemplated for a moment. After an hour, he tapped his desk a few times and an anbu appeared.

"Get this scroll delivered to Hokage."

He threw the scroll to Anbu who held it and left without a second thought.

......….

Konoha,

Naruto was tired. After saying goodbye to Hinata, he went to his house and fell on his bed. He wasn't just physically tired but also mentally.

Looking at the ceiling, he wondered if he was doing the right thing.

It was confusing. Him telling others to be good people and trying to make peace sounded hypocritical especially when he didn't understand the rage and anger of losing someone.

They might have lost a lot of people which built up rage inside their hearts. So, how is he supposed to clear all that rage?

He can't simply put his hands on other's hearts and pull out their rage.

But, his desire for peace was just as strong. He didn't want Han and his Tailed Beast to remain distant especially when they were going to spend their life together.

He was trying to make his relationship with Kurama better but this is not something that can happen at once.

"You are thinking too much, brat. Did you forget about your own Ninja Way?"

Kurama's voice suddenly brought him out of his thoughts. He contemplated Kurama's words for a moment and asked.

"Kurama, what if one day I can't succeed in fulfilling my promise?"

"Then, stand back up and do it again with the mentality to succeed. This is why I didn't hesitate to leave when I was taken out of your mother."

"I tried so many times to escape from her seal but I never succeeded. But when I actually did, it was just the help of others."

"Wait, other? You mean someone pulled you out of Mom?" Naruto asked in shock.

"Otherwise? Do you really think they would let a Tailed Beast leave just because your mother was giving birth to you? They were extra careful but it was all for naught when he appeared."

"I don't remember much but that person with Sharingan got me out of the seal and used Genjutsu to control me. My only thought during that time was to leave."

"Do you really think I would love to stay behind and fight with you Ninjas knowing how troublesome some of you might be?" Kurama growled.

Naruto's eyes widened at this revelation.

"You mean Sharingan can easily control? Man, I am so glad that the Uchiha clan is no more, or else, I would live with the risk of getting out of control."

"You fool! It won't be that easy. Even if you are under Genjutsu, I can pull you out. Unless that person puts me into a Genjutsu, you won't have any problem."

"More importantly, normal Sharingan can not do such a thing. Only Mangekyo Sharingan can do such a thing. On the night of Uchiha Massacre, I sensed two of those."

"I think two Uchiha with Mangekyo slaughtered the entire clan. One of them reeks of the same smell as that cursed Uchiha who freed me from your mother."

Kurama shouted inside his head.

Naruto was shocked for a moment and then, his eyes turned red with anger. He couldn't believe the person who indirectly killed his mother was the same person who killed Uchiha clan.

Although he was afraid of them, he still believed that they were a clan of Konoha which means they were a part of a family, a bigger family.

Naruto's Gamer Mind instantly kicked in. His mood slowly returned to normal but his anger was still there.

"One day, I will find that guy. I don't care if he is broken or not, nobody messes with my family and gets away with it. And, if he is truly evil."

Naruto's eyes only turned sharp. If that was the case, he wouldn't simply kill that man. He will torture him.

He took a deep breath and said.

"But before that, I need to get stronger. If I am not wrong, normal Family Heads are Jonin if not Elite Jonin Level. That means Itachi must be Kage Level to kill his parents and other Uchiha."

"Same goes for that man. Kurama, Mangekyo puts a Uchiha into Kage Level, am I wrong?"

Kurama paused for a moment and said.

"You could say that. Mangekyo alone doesn't make them Kage Level. But only those who have the talent can awaken Mangekyo which means once awakening Mangekyo, they get enough power to reach that level."

"I must get stronger then. From tomorrow, I will focus on Water Nature Transformation and Fire Nature Transformation. Once I master both, I will start learning Boil Release."

"I also need to learn Lightning Release but for now, I should wait. Another thing that I need to master is Rasengan. I was able to do it in the future, I can do it now."

Naruto nodded his head and called out his status window.
