In the Hokage's office, three men sat discussing. They were the Third hokage, Jiraya and Kakashi. Hiruzen had a headache knowing that Naruto has learnt of his father. Kakashi asked "What should we do now?". Hiruzen said "We hid it from him to protect him. Kow that he knows, what will he decide?" Jiraya said "No need to worry about it. That kid still wants to become the Hokage." Kakashi nodded. Hiruzen then spoke "About Orochimaru, he is after the last Uchiha. Its good that they were able to trick Orochimaru, but he's not the one to give up. He will definitely try again"
Jiraya laughed and said "There's no need to worry. That kid Sasuke is strong enough to protect himself." Kakashi asked "What do you mean Jiraya sama?. Sure Sasuke is strong for his age, but we are talking about Orochimaru here." Jiraya laughed out loud and said "Kakashi, that kid is possibly stronger than you by a long shot. He just lacks experience." Hiruzen opened his wide looking at Jiraya and said "Explain ckearly Jiraya."
Jiraya nodded saying " That kid Sasuke had come along with Naruto asking for me to train Naruto and provoked me to a fight. He must have done it to test his strength. But let me tell you. Although I was going easy on him, he managed to keep up and go toe to toe with me for almost an hour. I also think that kid had hidden some cards during the battle as well." Both Kakashi and Hiruzen looked surprised.
Jiraya then said. "Dont worry about that Uchiha Kid. Now about Naruto, it will be better if we announced about his heritage to the village. That way we can clear any negative feelings he has." Hiruzen said "No it's dangerous and he's also the jinchuriki. Minato has made a lot of enemies." Jiraya shook his head and said. "If you are worried about his safety, then don't be. I'll take him as my student and protect him till he is ready." Hiruzen then said "Let me think about it." Then all of them started discussing different matters.
Meanwhile, at the Uchiha estate, Naruto and I went to my house and we were greeted by Sakura & Karin. We then went inside and I asked "Karin, how are you feeling?" She answered "Better than from where I was before. Only thing is that I cannot go out." I then smiled and said "Just wait for some time and you will be a ninja of this village". She nodded thankfully.
Sakura looked at me with a complicated expression wanting to ask something but holding back. I looked at her "What is it? What's bothering you Sakura?" I asked. "You said Orochimaru is going to attack the village right? Then there will be a lot of casualties if we don't warn the people. Also our friends and family. Are we not going to tell anyone?" She asked.
I replied "No, we are not telling anyone. And wven if we tell, no one will believe us. If there is a war, there will be lives lost even if they knwe about it. Thats unavoidable. The only thing is that the casualties can be reduced. I only want the Third Hokage to die in this battle. The innocent people who had nothing to do with it, will be saved. The sand village is attacking us because Danzo accepted their mission from their Daimyo to weaken the sand village. I've already made a plan to save all that we can".
Naruto this time asked "What's the plan?" I looked at all of them and asked "I want all three of you to help me if this will suceed. Will you help me?" The three of them nodded and said "Of course we will help". Then I started speaking "Naruto, to become Hokage, you have to have merits. What better merits than saving the village? So that people will start recognizing you and fell safe at your presence." I then thought 'It was supposed to happen when pain attacked, but I'm changing the original story so pain might not attack and Naruto might not get that chance. So I'll make the village recognize him this time'.
Naruto then asked "What do I have to do?" I asked "Naruto, how many shadow clones can you create?" He replied "I can create 100". I then continued "Naruto ask kurama for help and train with him for this month on shadow clones. You should atleast be able to make 500 clones and you send them to escort the villagers to safety. I'll also have my wood clones everywhere to help you. Then you have to fight Gaara the sand jinchuriki. Work with the toad summons to defeat him. Practice the summoning jutsu as well."
Naruto nodded while Sakura asked "What about me?" I said "Sakura, you stay in the stadium and protect the people there. If we need medical help, then I'll teleport the injured to you. So you practice medical ninjutsu and try to increase your chakra reserves as much as you can. And Karin, you will stay in my Kamui dimenaion. I'll knock out and send some sound ninjas. You apply stasis seal on them and tie them up and I handed a fuinjutsu scroll to her. We will need them in the future. And if an emergency occurs and only if Sakura is not able to help, then I'll ask you to help in healing. Can I count on you?" Karin nodded.
Then I continued "So we do as planned. Orochimaru will come disguised as the Kazekage and start the attack after my match with Gaara as he wishes to see my fight. I'll come to the fight late as It will take some time setting up wood clones and planting my wood seeds. So now you got the picture, go train and prepare yourselves." They nodded and we left. I showed Karin to her room and went to my room and laid on the bed."
