"Actually, I think this is plenty of reason to celebrate," Sarutobi smiled as he took a puff of his pipe, "we can finish the team assignments tomorrow. For tonight go out and celebrate, we have had a great treasure returned to us, it's plenty of reason to be meary."
The ninjas all smiled and vanished in a push of smoke or leaves. I grumbled, "I so have to learn how to do that."
Sarutobi smiled, "I'm sure your jounin instructor will be more than happy to teach you that, if they believe you're ready."
I nodded, "yeah, I guess," time to make my escape and give Naruto his dad's right sleeve, "anyway, I'll be going now, night big proffessor." "Just a minute little professor," the man replied with a chuckle at my nickname, "you have done your village a great service, returned a valuable treasure...and you aren't even officially a genin yet."
I shrugged, "meh, it was nothing. Honestly it was dumb luck."
"Yes...tell me, why were you at Uzumaki compound in the first place?"
"Naruto kind off...well, he's kind of been sad that I'm already a ninja and he's not," I sighed, this part was true, "I figured if I could find anything from the Uzumaki compound of the clan's well then that could interest him."
The man smiled, "I'm happy to see you and Naruto getting along so well Yami, I really am. People say you two act like brothers, I suppose that statement is very accurate." "Yeah...I guess," I smiled, like I said before, Naruto was like a brother to me, a moronic annoying brother but...a brother nonetheless.
"Well, back to your little achievement," the man smiled, "tell me Yami, what can I do for you? Ask anything, and if I can give it, it's yours."
My eyes sparkled, "like what?"
The man chuckled, "well for one how about a cash reward. I'm sure I can get the council-"
"-I'm going to stop you right there," I cut him off, "I don't need cash, I'm me remember?"
Sarutobi blinked before chuckling, "ah yes, Stan Lee, I almost forgot your alternate identity. It's honestly difficult to believe such words could come from a child so young."
I shrugged, "over active imagination," I looked around and noticed the Hokage's portraits, immediately my eyes landed on Minato and I thought of something, "I want one of his kunai."
Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, "what do you mean?"
"This tri-pronged kunai," I repeated myself, "I won't one of them, one with a Flying Thunder God seal on it."
The man smiled, "why is that?"
"Naruto looks up to the man, and so do I. And since I can't keep the coat, I figured a kunai would be the second best thing."
The third smiled, "that is possible," he reached into his desk and opened the fourth drawer pulling out the tri prong kunai. My eyes sparkled as he tossed it to me. I held it like one would hold a newborn baby.
Tri Pronged kunai, A class item A kunai with the Flying Thunder God seal on it's handle. I looked at the seals on the handle and smiled, I'm so going to figure out how you work!

I pressed yes without hesitation and turned to the Hokage, "thank you for this...it means a lot." Sarutobi smiled, "it's fine. Now, I'm sure you and Naruto have a lot to talk about. I'll see you soon for your first mission Yami...if you pass that is."
I chuckled, oh please, who the hell is he trying to scare? I wished him well and quickly left the tower. The moment I did a new alert popped up;
Ping!

+20 Skill scroll +20 REP permanent bonus for the people of Konoha Tri prong Kunai Okay, now that was a reward. A permanent +20 REP bonus? No wonder people liked me before I even met them. And the skill scroll was pretty bitchin too!
I went home quickly that night, I walked in and called out, "Naruto! Are you home?!"
"Yeah Yami!" Naruto called out from the workroom. He sat his own rarely used desk looking over a book with a pencil behind his ear, "yo, what's up?"
I raised an eyebrow, "are you studying?"
The boy chuckled, "yeah. I figured if you're already a ninja, it's my job to catch up. No Hokage is going to be second rate to his subordinate!"
I chuckled, "I guess..oh, and speaking of Hokage's, guess what I did today!"
Naruto blinked, "what?" "I found the fourth hokage's cloak!" I quickly told him the entire story, of how I found it in the Uzumaki stone, at which point I had to explain who the uzumaki clan were. Damn kid, I wish he listened in class!
"Woah! I came from a pretty important clan huh?" Naruto said, his eyes sparkling, "take that Uchiha bastard!"
I sighed, "yes Naruto, you come from a pretty cool clan."
"Hey, you think if I tell Sakura this she's finally say yes to a date with me?!" Naruto asked with eyes filled with hope.
I shrugged, "sure, I guess. Just make a fool of yourself okay? Because is she likes you just because you're from an old clan, she isn't worth the trouble, do you understand me?"
Naruto waved my worry away, "yeah yeah, I got you." I smiled, "right...anyway...do you want to know the real reason I went there thought?"
Naruto blinked, "what do you mean?"
"You see, I figured you would be a little depressed, with me becoming a ninja before you and all-"
"-Hey! I'm not depressed Dattebayo! I'm just determined!"
I rolled my eyes, "right. Anyway, I figured if I can find something from the Uzumaki clan that might cheer you up! So I went looking and..."
