NARUTO: The Galactic Empire

Kakashi frowned on thinking how much the villagers had traumatized Naruto but not any longer.

"I am sure Naruto. Go have fun, I have to talk to Hokage-sama about what happened today. I'll pick you up in an hour." said Kakashi and disappeared via a shunshin.

"Man I really need to learn that." thought naruto with a chuckle

There were currently four boys playing in the field, well not exactly.

The first boy which Naruto saw had pineapple colored hair which were tied upward in a short pony. His face was angular and he was busy watching the clouds.

The boy sitting next was continuously eating chips and was a little chubby and had light colored brown hair and a round face.

One of the boys was sitting next to the others and was playing with a little pup. He had two marks on his face and slightly pointed teeth and dark brown hair.

The last boy was sitting away from the others. He had black hair and his eyes were covered by sunglasses and he wore a light grey jacket.

As Naruto approached the boys, a little hesitantly, after years of being rejected he feared that even these kids would reject him like the kids from the orphanage.

"Who are you?" asked the boy with the pup curiously.

"I am Naruto Hatake, can I join you?"asked Naruto hesitantly.

"Sure, I am Chouji Akimichi,"said Chouji happily and offered some chips which Naruto accepted happily.

"I'm Inuzuka Kiba and this is Akamaru."said Kiba and Akamaru barked.

"Nara Shikamaru,"said Shikamaru curiously.

"Whats with the mask?" thought Shikamaru with a frown

"I'm happy to meet you all. Hey you, can I know your name too?"asked Naruto loudly, to the boy with bugs. On hearing being called he came towards the group and was surprised that they didn't back away from him when his bugs crawled in his shirt.

"Aburame Shino,"stated Shino stoically

"Naruto Hatake. Its nice to meet people from four different clans of konoha."said Naruto sharply

"You know about our clans?"asked Chouji in surprise

"Yeah, my brother taught me. You are from the Akimichi clan, your clan specializes in combat and is known for your physical strength and great research on food pills which were formed by your clan. Also you own many restaurants in Konoha."said Naruto briefly

"You are from the Nara clan, one of the smartest clans of Konoha. Your clansmen are known for your sharp knowledge and thinking; and advanced knowledge in medical ninjutsu and medicines."said Naruto simply

"You are from the Inuzuka clan, one of the three best tracker clans of Konoha. You and your ninken companions are best in tracking and hand-to-hand combat."said Naruto with a small smile

"You are from the Aburame clan, your clan use Kikai bugs for tracking or capturing an enemy. Your clan is known for your logical thinking and is one of the best tracker clans of konoha alongside the Inuzuka and the Hyuga."said Naruto seriously

Meanwhile all four boys stared dumbly at Naruto. Chouji was pleased that Naruto didn't call him fat like many kids, Shikamaru was interested in knowing more about Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru both were happy when Naruto praised their clan and didn't call Akamaru a dog but kiba's partner, while Shino was also intrigued as Naruto was not at all affected by his bugs and praised his clan.

"Woah! you know all about our clans, now tell us something about yourself."said Shikamaru curiously.

"Tell you what let's race, if you defeat me I'll tell you all you want."said Naruto with a smirk

"I know how lazy you nara's are. you won't get to know about me easily."thought Naruto with a smirk.

"Troublesome" muttered Shikamaru with a yawn

"Okay"said Chouji cheerfully

"You're on, I'll defeat you naruto" boasted Kiba loudly and akamaru barked happily.

"I accept your challenge Naruto-san," stated Shino simply

"Naruto's fine Shino, What say friends?"asked Naruto holding out his hand.

"Friends" they all agreed in unison and shook each others hand.

"I finally have some true friends."thought Naruto happily.

Only if he knew that these boys would become his best friends for life and would always stand by him.

(Hokage Tower)

Hiruzen smiled on watching the entire interaction between the kids through his crystal ball. At first when Kakashi reported the entire incident he was angry, but as the bodies of the attackers were destroyed by the seal on them, there was no proof against Danzo, so he had to let it go but he would keep a close eye on Danzo from now on.

He was saddened to hear that Naruto who was just 6 now had his first kill, but after watching the entire scene and seeing Naruto finding some true friends, he was overjoyed.

"Perhaps there is still hope for Naruto's acceptance."thought Hiruzen hopefully

"He finally has some friends."said Kakashi happily

"Indeed, the Will of Fire burns brightly in them. They are the future of the village." said Hiruzen sagely

"Hokage-sama, I still can't understand how Naruto has the sharingan?" asked Kakashi curiously

"No you are wrong, he is a descendant of the Uchiha clan. So he has finally awakened his birth right."said Hiruzen more to himself than Kakashi

"What?"asked Kakashi a little loudly

"It is true Kakashi." said Hiruzen simply

"But Hokage-sama, Naruto's mother was an Uzumaki not an Uchiha ;and Minato sensei was an orphan."said Kakashi quickly

"Yes Kushina was not an Uchiha but that was not the truth about Minato."said Hiruzen seriously

"I don't like the sound of this." thought Kakashi worriedly; as he somehow had a guess as to what the answer would be.
