Naruto Personal ANBU Squad for Naruto?

This is my first post on the new forum, not to mention my first in a long while.

So, I got this idea in my head. What if the 3rd Hokage had a present for Naruto (that was also a test) when he came of age? Well, Naruto comes of age once he gets his headband, so the 3rd tells Naruto of his heritage, of being the son of the 4th Hokage. Then, he grants Naruto partial control of a small team of ANBU, led by Yugao Uzuki. There would be restrictions of course, but this would be a semi Coming of Age tale for Naruto. He would learn a bit of what it means to be a leader, and become close with his ANBU Squad, Yugao in particular, since he would start to see her as a sister.

And, at the start at least, a good amount of humor would happen. After all, Naruto will be rather silly with what he does with his new found influence at first. Why get ramen when you can have someone pick it up for you instead? :p

Anyways, here are some of the things that I would want the fic to focus on.

Naruto would ask for some training from his ANBU, in order to become stronger (and cooler! At least in his eyes.).

Certain events would make it so that Hayate Gekko would survive the whole Suna invasion thing, and he might teach Naruto some Kinjutsu as well with Yugao's help.

And here are the restrictions that Naruto would have.

*Anything that would put him, a member of the village, or the village itself in undue danger would be something that the Squad can refuse to do.
* No one other than fellow ANBU or the Hokage himself could know that Naruto has semi control over his own ANBU Squad, which means that he can't just call on them to steamroll his enemies unless his life is in extreme danger.
* The more Naruto rises up in the ranks, the more people he could allow to know of the whole deal, and the more orders he'd be able to give.

I could add more along the course of the story when I think of them. And of course, no harems or bashing. In fact, I don't think this fic will have a paring at all.

So, tell me what you think. And any ideas that could make it better, or at least readable, would be welcome. I hope this idea at least sounds good...

Assigning a retarded but potentially powerful 12 year old to head a division of ANBU is a gross miscalculation of resources.

Now, putting him UNDER a ANBU team as like a trainee or something with the intent of grooming him to lead? That could have promise. Naruto learns best by the seat of pants, and he wants to learn leadership. You could keep the shenanigans that seem to be the core of your idea by having them go along with his stupid orders for shits and giggles to show him hands on why they're bad orders.



An idea that has, I think, similar ideas to what you're wanting (Naruto's shenanigans commanding ANBU) is in my posting history, where Danzou gets some sticky fingers in Minato/Kushina's inheritance and ickle!Naruto wrangles it to take control of ROOT from under Danzou's nose, arguing that ROOT is now his inheritance.

i think he meant just a squad of maybe 4 or 5 anbu not a whole division

I should have mentioned that Naruto would only control his ANBU whenever the Hokage didn't need them. And that he would only have three maximum. But I must admit, your idea sounds pretty good. How does this sound?

Naruto: ANBU, get me some ramen!
ANBU: Sure, Naruto-kun. (Vanishes, returns with a few bowls a few seconds later.)
Naruto: Sweet!
(A few minutes later...)
Naruto: (Holed up in the bathroom) What the hell was in that ramen?!
ANBU: Laxative. Getting food for you is something that you should ask of a friend or someone close to you, not someone you just met. Lesson One, Naruto-kun, think of the level of relationship you have with someone before you give orders or requests. ^_^
Naruto: Ugh...
I could have Naruto train under some ANBU on the side after his missions with Team 7. And the 3rd could entice Naruto to do well on his training by granting him the authority to make one order whenever he does very well, within reason of course. Having the chance to do something like that would push Naruto to train even harder (and smarter, maybe), and give him a little taste of leadership.

Sorry, I meant to say squad. What I said still stands though- even a squad is a gross miscalculation of resources.

EDIT: I wasn't thinking of laxatives, though that has it's own lesson as well. I was thinking something like staging a (mock, not that Naruto would know) attack on something, and not having ANBU around to order them to help because they're off doing something silly like getting ramen. Teaching Naruto allocation of resources, to try and get him to think about why the Hokage would give Naruto his own ANBU squad, etc etc.

Basically, teach him some self-reflection, instead of just running with things how they are.

I don't know if Naruto would realise that the food was doctored. He did drink that carton of expired milk. He might persist at it, until laxatives no longer work on him.

You all supposed "coming of age" was 12 years old, is it correct or can we imagine older or younger ?

That will be chaos... He would make them help in his pranks! Well at least he gets some leadership skills... He now gets to become Hokage because he is Minato's son or something like that... It would be really interesting seeing Naruto running around as Hokage. I even wrote a One Shot on that!

Trust me it was really fun to write! I laughed as I wrote.

At twelve, I don't see it (but I can see them training him), though once he gets back after the time-skip, or even after the Chuunin Exams, if he does/is reported as doing better there, it would make more sense.

Right before the timeskip, didn't Jiraiya mention that ANBU would be involved when Naruto leaves in future or something? Maybe that could be incorporated.
