NARUTO: The legend of The Eternal Lake PART 1, THE MAN IN BLACK

Finally, it was happening. Naruto was becoming Hokage. The thing he had dreamed of since he could remember. He knew he could do it, a lot of them didn’t believe in him, but he proved them wrong, and now they would all respect him. Best ninja in the land, Naruto Uzumaki, the new Hokage! He thought.

As he stepped up Tsunadae began to speak. “I knew the week I after I met this kid, that he would be Hokage. He’ll make us all proud… and Naruto…” “Yeah old lady?” he replied. Clearly she was mad. “OLD WH-… I mean… *cough* well I have one thing I must say… naruto… BEEP BEEP BEEP!”

“Huh?!” cried Naruto. “BEEP BEEP BEEP!” “Woah Tsunadae your freakin’ me out here!” “BEEP! BEEP!” Naruto looked towards the crowd… they were all saying it too! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! B- click.

Another dream. Naruto Uzumaki wasn’t Hokage… yet.

The trees blew in the wind up on the tall mountain. The people of the land called it the mountain of the black hawks, because all they ever saw up there was the occasional flicker of darkness flying from the mountain. Many had gone up in search for answers to the mysteries of what was up there. None had returned. Only the boldest and bravest would go up there, and that’s exactly what Reno Isakura was doing that day. The twelve year old had guts. More guts than most of the village elders, and he vowed that he would return. It had taken him hours, but he was at the top, looking into the massive cave. There were trees surrounding it, and a big stone entrance. It had kanji on it… “To enter here you must enter with smart hands.” What the heck did that mean? Reno walked up and looked around carefully… then he saw it on the entrance, a small hole, small enough for a finger. It was worth a shot. He stuck his finger in it and nothing happened. “hmmm…” He twisted it, and another hole appeared. He stuck his other finger in that, then another and another until both his hands were in the rock. Then, he pulled, and the whole entrance came apart. Smart hands indeed.

He walked in, and heard a big slam. Damn! The entrance had closed “WHAA?! Hey what’s the big idea...?” There was no answer. Only one way to go… forward. After minutes a voice rang out. “Brave of you to come venturing here boy” It was a deep voice. Very monotone. Sanko’s eyebrows curled and his teeth clenched “Who was that?” “How old are you boy? Ten?” “Twelve, and stronger than you.” “hmhmhm… aren’t you a bit far away from your mother… Reno?” “I don’t have a m-… wait you know my name?!” “Reno, I knew you were coming. And I know why you came. And I know what you dream of… maybe I could give it to you, if you come with me.” Out of nowhere a man in a dark black cloak and long black hair appeared, he looked like a vampire, minus the teeth. He held out his hand. “Come on kid.” Sanko waited a second then grabbed clenched the hand for a second “Ok, but no wasting my time deal?!” “Deal.” And they walked into the darkness.

END OF PART ONE.
