Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

A/N:- Some people mayn't like my explanation about Susanoo. I am open for critics. Madara used his Susanoo with no eyes, Shisui used his Susanoo with only one eye.

Early in the next morning, a Chunnin places a board in front of the Hokage office. The board reads,

"I Hiruzen Sarutobi, hereby announce my resignation as Hokage and appoint Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage."

Clamour rang among citizens of the leaf as they read this notice.

"Third Hokage-sama is retiring from Hokage's position and had elected the Fourth Hokage." Someone among the crowd shouts.

"Minato Namikaze isn't he the Yellow Flash of Leaf. He would be a fine Hokage." Another person yells.

"I don't think he is a suitable candidate for the position. Isn't he still too young to take the mantle of Hokage? I mean he would have to bear huge responsibilities." An old man disagrees with the decision.

I secretly activate my Sharingan to check the man. I suspect he is Danzo in disguise. After careful inspection, I conclude that he is just another conservative senile geezer.

"Minato-Sensei will be a fine Hokage. If you think he is too young, then remember the Third Hokage-sama was only twenty years old when he became Hokage. Facts speak louder Old man." I scoffed at that old man as I moved on to my training.

"This…that kid has a point. The third Hokage was also young when he became Hokage. I think Minato Namikaze will be a fine Hokage." Another person agrees with me.

"Yeah, just look at the contribution of Yellow Flash in the Third War. He single-handedly stopped the invasion by a thousand Shinobi of Iwa." Another person speaks in favor.

Slowly, the public opinion sways in Minato's favor as people split in a group of two. One group favors Minato whereas another group is in disagreement.

Later in the noon, on the rooftop of Hokage's Office,

In presence of all clan leaders and village shinobis, Hiruzen passes the Hokage's hat to Minato as he resigns from the position.

"From this day onwards, Minato Namikaze will be appointed as the Fourth Hokage. I will be counting on you, Fourth Hokage."

"I pledge my life to it," Minato responds to Hiruzen as he walks towards villagers.

Minato addresses the villagers as he gives the usual Hokage speech and pledges about responsibility. After the speech, everyone returns to their work as many clan leaders start to plan out their future courses of action and political stance.

-----------

A week has passed by since Minato donned the mantle of Hokage. I haven't been able to meet him for the entire week.

I will meet with Kushina whenever I pay a visit to their house.

"Big-sister Kushina. Minato-san is way too busy after he became Hokage. Aren't you sad that he doesn't have enough time for his family?" I ask Kushina.

Kushina smiles as she replies,

"It was Minato's dream to become Hokage. He is finally able to fulfill his dream, I am happy for him. After a month, when he has gained control over the majority of the forces and anbu, he will have more time to spare."

I nod to her as I return, "See you later, Big-sister Kushina!"

"Bye, Izuna-kun."

I walk towards the training ground as I think about the future. It will be a while before the Nine-tails attack and Obito's scheme. I have to train my Susanoo in this time.

I can combat against Nine-tails only with my Susanoo. Maybe, I should join Anbu to better protect Minato and Kushina during the attack. I will ask Minato-san to appoint me as his security.

With such thoughts, I moved to the Training ground and start to train in my Susanoo. To prevent any outside intrusion and interrupt my training, I set up a barrier with Fuinjutsu and an Optical illusion with my light style as I train.

After the war ended, all of the Nations and Hidden Villages are in the process of recuperating. It will be at least a month before missions will start to appear again. Till then, I can just train myself a little more. I have to digest all of the harvests from the War.

I activate my Mangekyo Sharingan as I start to infuse chakra around myself and shape it in the form of Susanoo from my memory. When I first unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan, the information about Susanoo just popped into my brain.

Susanoo is more of a technique related to Uchiha Bloodline then Mangekyo Sharingan. The only way to gain access to Susanoo is through unlocking Mangekyo Sharingan. Even if your lose your Mangekyo Sharingan, you can still use the technique as it is related to Uchiha Bloodline.

Also, I noted that only people with pure Uchiha bloodline are capable of using Susanoo. You need the Uchiha chakra to use Susanoo.

I start to form the Chakra construct from my memory. The process is very hard as it requires great Chakra control to shape the Susanoo. The process starts to strain nerves around my eyes as a large amount of Chakra is directed through them.

A large ribcage with a mix of gold and silver color starts to encase me. A skeletal arm sprouts from the right side of my Susanoo as I try to control it. After practicing for a while, I get a hang of it. The arm feels like an extension of me. I move around with my basic skeletal Susanoo, I grab a tree and easily tear it into the half with the arm.

The arm clenches into a fist as I smash it into a large boulder. A large hole, the size of Susanoo's fist appears in the boulder. Cracks appear on the boulder and it breaks apart.

Now for the defense, I make a shadow clone and the clone starts to make a Rasengan.

Boom

The Rasengan smashes into my Susanoo. Some small cracks appear at the point of impact, no major damage. My Susanoo can tank an A-rank jutsu for a while. I dissipate my Susanoo and start to practice other nature transformations Kekkai Genkai.

-----------

A month slowly passes and missions start to appear one after another. I grabbed a B-rank mission and decide to go solo on it. The mission was nothing difficult, a bunch of chunnin levels ninjas are assaulting people in the land of waves.

I finished it quickly and returned to Hokage's office to report the completion.

"Oh, I see!"

"Yes, sir…I have never seen Kakashi like that before sir."

"Good thing that, I secretly sent you along as backup."

"You got that right. I wanna be able to help him in a time like this. That's what it truly means to be an eternal rival."

"You have already done a lot to help. Please leave the rest to me now, Guy."

I overhear Minato and Guy's conversation about Kakashi. I open the Hokage's office door as I barge in.

"Let me help too, Kakashi is my friend and I want to help him too."

"Izuna!...weren't you on a mission?" Minato is surprised to see me.

"I have already completed my mission and I am here to report about it." I take out a scroll from my pocket and present it to Minato.

"Ok! Then follow me along to meet Kakashi. He is in leaf village hospital right now." Minato flickers towards the hospital as I follow him.

Minato and I reach the hospital as I spot Kakashi reading a book while lying on the bed. I read the title of the book, 'How a Shinobi should die'.

Kakashi is startled to see us as he quickly hid the book.

"Minato-sensei,… I mean Lord Fourth. Izuna, what are you doing here?"

"You may address me as you always have Kakashi. You know, there are some people within the village, who think I am not qualified for this position and oppose me. I came here because I want to assign you to the Anbu under my direct control." Minato's words surprise Kakashi as he asks,

"But why me?"

"Because I want you to be my right-hand man Kakashi," Minato replies to Kakashi.

"Minato-san, I would also like to join the anbu and be in your personal security unit." I also request to Minato.

"Huh…" Minato is surprised by my request as he asks,

"Izuna, you are still too young for the Anbu. Tell me, why you want to join the anbu?"

"I heard that the pay-out of Hokage's personal guard is quite high. So, I also want to join the anbu and be your guard." I chuckle slightly as I reply to him.

Minato sighs at my response and replies,

"Ok! It's fine if you don't want to tell me the real reason. I trust you Izuna. But are you sure, you are ready for the darkness of Anbu."

"Minato-san, I have painted the battlefield red with my enemy's blood during the Third Shinobi War. I have killed countless people in the war to the point that I got the nickname, 'Silent Shinigami' during the war. I think I am ready for the Anbu." I speak with a firm expression on my face.

"Alright then, I will write a recommendation letter for both of you," Minato answers as he teleports from the hospital.

"What'Cha doing, Kakashi? Reading such a depressing book."

I pull out the book from Kakashi's bed as I read it's title aloud.

"How a shinobi should die! Uncle Sakumo won't be happy to see you like this. I am sure he is worried about you. Come out of your depression, will you? Look at all your friends who are worried about you."

I burn the book with my Fire Chakra as the door to the room is flung open.

Guy, Asuma, Shizune, Kurenai, Anko enters the room as they bombard Kakashi with many questions. I smile at their interaction as I join them in the fray.
