Five Days Later;
"Brother Naruto, Brother Naruto, am I already a Genin?"
Konohamaru rubbed the bottom of his nose with excitement as he entered the Hokage’s office with his team and asked.
"Who told you that?"
Naruto looked surprised, but deep down, he knew the list was already publicized to other people.
"We saw this. Look, my name is on the list. Does that mean I can graduate now?"
Konohamaru raised the poster that had the new ranking of Ninjas alongside all the explanations of each rank that was just posted today.
For example, to become a Genin, one must have proper Taijutsu and mastery of three basic Jutsu.
Konohamaru had mastered all of that. He had even practiced Naruto’s special Sexy Jutsu.
Naruto chuckled and said.
"Well, you can’t graduate now, but yes, you indeed have the strength of a Genin. But wouldn’t it be really awesome if you graduated with the strength of a Chunin?"
Hearing his words, Konohamaru tilted his head with a dumbfounded look and said.
"Is that even possible?"
Naruto nodded.
"Yes, we have decided to apply a new ranking system for Konoha Ninja. One is the rank we used to get; another is a combat rank."
"In terms of normal situation, our normal rank dictates the composition and command structure of a team."
"But in times of battle and war, combat rank matters more. Of course, without being tested, you can’t get any of the ranks."
"But once you do, you can have Genin as your normal ninja rank and Chunin as a Combat Rank."
"What do you think? Isn’t that amazing?"
Hearing his words, Konohamaru’s eyes sparkled. He had just come out of his grandfather’s death.
Having his name on the list made him excited. The previous pain of losing his grandfather was slowly being healed.
"Of course! I will strive to become a Chunin by the time of Graduation."
"Me too!"
"Don’t forget me!"
Both of his friends shouted at the same time.
"Then good luck! I’ve something else to do."
Naruto waved his hand and sent them out of his office. He immediately took out a pen and paper, as he started writing something furiously.

Yesterday;
"Huh? You want me to write a script for you?"
Naruto was excited to return home when he was suddenly approached by Kabuto, who had returned from his mission.
He had also brought Karin with him, and she was given a small apartment where she could stay. The apartment was also near Sasuke’s house.
Naruto did this to make Karin less resistant towards Konoha. At the same time, he also asked Hinata to take care of her in her free time.
Hinata had become quite busy due to her recent job and her training.
Kabuto nodded.
"Yes! I have been thinking about that movie you said, but I don’t know how to write a proper script for this movie."
"Like, how should Danzo be portrayed? How will you and the Third Hokage be portrayed in the movie?"
"I can direct this movie, but you have to write the script for me. I am not sure if I can write Danzo well."
Hearing his words, Naruto rubbed his chin.
This was quite an interesting topic for him. He hated Danzo. After reviewing his memories, he hated Danzo even more.
This guy was the cause of his childhood trauma. Without him, nobody would’ve known his identity as a Jinchuriki.
Unlike original Naruto, who could just forget about it, the current Naruto was quite vengeful.
Then again, original Naruto at his age was also quite vengeful. He didn’t forget to use Thousand Years of Death on Kakashi after returning home.
So, writing a script for this movie might keep his mind off a few things.
He had been quite stressed about the war.
On the one hand, he didn’t want the war to happen. It would take the lives of thousands of people. It wasn’t necessary.
But on the other hand, even after seventy thousand deaths during the Fourth Great Ninja War and the arrival of peace, there were still moments when war could start.
At that time, Shikamaru had specifically told him.
If not for the casualties of the Fourth Great Ninja War and their strength, war would’ve happened after the interference of Earth Country’s Daimyo.
So, Naruto understood that the deaths of those ninjas were the reason why the border conflicts were minimal.
Nobody wanted a war after that war, but everyone wanted a war before that war.
This was the situation of the war.
Of course, there were other reasons such as resources. So, instead of focusing on war itself, Naruto wanted to focus on something else.
But he was always drawn towards it. After all, war was quite a complicated and serious topic. ℴ
"Alright! I can write one."
Naruto agreed.
———————
And so, he started writing the script for the movie. He wanted to find a perfect balance between tragedy and growth.
Naruto didn’t want this movie to feel unnatural.
He wanted his growth, Danzo’s schemes, his ambition, his control over the village, and the climax to be more natural.
So, he had to portray other characters in a way that the tragedy of Konoha could be seen because of Danzo’s existence.
And the one to end that tragedy would be none other than Naruto Uzumaki.
That would be the overall idea for the plot. He needed more substance, more dialogue, and even a better storyline.
While he was writing the first part of the story, he heard a knock on the door.
He closed the notebook and said.
"Come in!"
The door opened, and Hinata walked in. She was wearing a white full-sleeved shirt with a long light blue frock that was tied with a black belt.
She looked stunningly beautiful.
Naruto could barely keep his eyes off her. Despite learning to adapt, Hinata would still blush under his gaze.
But her voice would no longer shake like before. This was a lesson Kushina had taught her for more than a week.
"Naruto-kun, the property deal has been signed. The patent for your cards has been registered."
"We can start a company now."
