"I don't think you're a Nii Naruto, Uzumaki's are not connected with the Nii's."
"But that can't stop us from becoming brothers, what do you say, wanna be my little bro?"
"Naruto."
Sato grinned and gave his hand to Naruto, as a symbol of brotherhood.
The sun was shining on Sato's head, giving him a dazzling glow, it was as if an angel sitting in Sato's place, at least that was how it looked through Naruto's eyes.
"Brother..?"
"Okay!!"
Naruto grabbed Sato's hand and gave a big toothy smile.
Not only did he get a friend, he also got an older brother!
He had a family.
"That's great Naruto!"
"Say what, let's eat our ramen and roam the village."
"I am new here, will you show me around?"
Naruto excitedly nodded and started stuffing his face with noodles.
Even his favourite ramen was not on his mind right now, he wanted to run around the village with Sato.
Sato watched all this with a calm face while silently eating his ramen.
'Great, with Naruto, the nine tail jinchuriki on my side, I can go anywhere I want.'
'Next I will visit the clans and start to prepare for my side mission.'
'Putting the fear of hidden cloud in the new generation.'
But before doing any of that, Sato was going to tour the village first, he was going to get familiar with all the places, then he will attack.
'Side quests can wait, I need to finish Shisui Uchiha's job and my Ramen business idea first.'
'Those are my main missions.'
Main missions were much more important to Sato, they took priority over side missions.
*Slurp*
With a few big bites, Naruto and Sato finally completed their ramen, filling their stomach completely.
*Bang*
*Bang*
Two big bowls hit the table, with sighs of relief escaping both the boy's mouths.
"Aaah, that was great!"
Naruto lied down on the table with a smile.
His skinny body had a big belly now, Sato was sure that Uzumaki's bloodline would recover Naruto within a week, if the boy got enough food.
But this village made sure Naruto's never got enough to eat, just barely enough crumbs to not starve to death.
The third Hokage was one hell of a guy..
"Naruto, you better become the Hokage quickly, Konoha really needs fresh blood."
"This large tree is starting to rot."
Sato muttered, although he wasn't going to complain about it, he was able to do whatever he wanted in Konoha because it was so corrupt.
If Konoha was united, they would have enough power to fight against every major village once more, Uchiha alone had two kage levels with mangekyo, and one Itachi who was going to unlock mangekyo in a year.
Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha clan head had the same reputation as the yellow flash, this man also had a run on sight order on him.
This means Fugaku was so strong, that enemy ninja had permission to abandon their mission and run away if they encounter him.
There was no punishment for abandoning missions for ninja's, as long as they meet Fugaku.
This was a man worthy of the Hokage position, Sato was extremely thankful that Konoha hated the Uchiha so much, he would not want to fight against such a monster.
"Huh, did you say something Sato?"
Naruto asked with a confused look on his face, he thought he heard his big bro saying something.
"No, it wasn't anything important."
"Let's go Naruto."
Sato waved his hand and jumped down from his seat, Naruto quickly followed behind him after shouting a thank you to Teuchi.
"Stay safe!"
Teuchi's faint yell came from behind Sato and Naruto as they ran away.
Naruto was pulling Sato by the hand, he was going to show his brother the whole village.
Sato was new here after all, it was his duty to help his big bro.
"Huff huff, Sato, that river has a lot of fish."
"It's very shallow so they are easier to catch."
The first place Naruto showed Sato was his food source.
In Naruto's mind this was an incredibly important location, this is what kept him alive!
"Come, I'll show you another place."
"It's super fun."
The entire time Sato didn't say a word and calmly followed behind the excited Naruto.
Naruto one by one showed him around the whole village, every publicly available location was visited by them once.
This included the clans and the important institutions such as the hospital and academy.
Naruto was familiar with the whole village, he was alone and had a lot of free time, the boy had visited every place he could to make friends.
This was what made him so good at escaping after pranks and this was what let him show Sato everything he needed to know.
"And this is my home."
"Sorry, It's a little shabby.."
It was evening now and Naruto was showing Sato the last location, his small apartment building.
He kept this spot for last because he didn't want to show how terribly he lived.
But Sato wanted to see it, so he had to follow.
"Ohh, so this is where you live."
"Alright, I'll meet you here next time then."
Turning towards Naruto, Sato grabbed his shoulder.
"It's late, my sister will start looking for me if I don't go home now."
"I'll meet you soon Naruto."
Sato waved at Naruto, who was taken aback for a second when he saw that Sato was leaving.
But he was also relived that Sato didn't see the inside of his house.
He didn't want to show how dirty everything was in there.
"Okay big bro!"
"Come back soon!"
Naruto waved Sato goodbye until his back was no longer visible.
Then he went inside his apartment with a smile on his face.
Even the dim and dirty room didn't spoil his mood today.
He had a big brother, he had a real family, and he also got to eat until he was full today.
"It's great."
Naruto exclaimed and jumped on his bed, it didn't take him long to fall asleep.
He was malnourished and ran around the entire day, he was pretty tired.
Sato on the other hand was full of energy, he was a Ninja in training and wasn't a hyperactive child, making it easier for him to preserve his energy.
*Knock*
*Knock*
*Knock*
Knocking on the door of his temporary home, Sato waited for it to open.
He didn't have to wait for long, the door quickly opened and Yugito came out from inside.
"You are here, I was about to look for you."
Yugito quickly called Sato in and closed the door.
C silently came from behind them and made a few handsigns, activating the sealing jutsu they had set up.
"So how was your day?"
"Did you make some progress with the mission?"
C asked after fixing the seal, he walked towards the sofa as Yugito and Sato were sitting on the bed.
Yugito was about to shut C up when he asked this, it had only been a day and Sato was tired right now.
They could have this discussion some other time.
"Yes, I found something."
But Sato's next words made her stop in her place.
Both C and Yugito were now looking at Sato, if he really found something this was very important.
Sato didn't beat around the bush and told everything one by one.
"Hyuga Hiashi's body is fake, we are getting his twin brother, Hyuga Hizashi's body."
"Hyuga Hizashi is from the branch family, his Byakugan will be sealed after his death."
"This is Konoha's plan."
"Oh and one more thing, Uchiha Shisui works for me now."
"I''ll probably be able to tame the Uchiha clan too, if I play my cards right."
Sato's plain sounding words made Yugito and C's mind blank, every sentance Sato said was a bombshell for them.
A sealed Byakugan?
Shisui the teleporter betraying hidden leaf??
Uchiha clan themselves working for Sato???
What the hell happened during the day for the world to change so much!
