This story picks up right after Naruto has retrieved Sasuke. (Yes he brings Sasuke Back). Also it will be a Tayuya and Naruto fic. Furthermore, there are some similarities with canon but this is going to be AU. Also please read and review. I would really like if people gave me an idea of how the story is and what not.
People have mentioned Anko's personality I will explain that later and show a little bit her in this chapter after a little bit of rewriting. Also I show a little bit of Naruto's mental issues. I hope to finish rewriting the rest of this story soon so I can continue the story.
The doors to the Hokage's office flew open with a loud crash. Before Tsunade had a chance to look up, she heard a thud against the floor. Looking forward she saw a very tired and wounded Naruto. "I completed my mission Baa-chan." Naruto said before collapsing to the floor.
Tsunade rushed toward the boy and looked for any serious injuries. A majority of his wounds was already healed, and the bigger ones were still in the process of being healed, thanks to the kyuubi. Tsunade picked Naruto up and headed for the hospital. Outside her office, Tsunade looked over to a pair of ANBU and ordered then to grab the Uchiha and place him under 24-hour watch at the hospital.
At the hospital, Tsunade walked into an empty room and called for Shizune before placing Naruto onto a bed. She looked over the boy once more before smiling. "You are growing up to be a fine shinobi Naruto-kun. I can't wait to see you take over as Hokage."
"Yes he is Tsunade-sama He has grown a lot over the past few months." Shizune said as she walked over to the bed next to Tsunade. She had a clipboard and a fairly large folder in her hands. "However do you think he will be ready for the responsibility of being Hokage? I mean he has been very distant lately. I think he needs time to figure things out."
"I have complete faith in Naruto. He has everything he needs to be Hokage and even more. I am getting old and I won't be able to continue as Hokage very much longer. If he is not ready we need to prepare him not just for his sake but for the village." Tsunade said as she grabbed the folder and clipboard from her assistant. She looked over the chart and flipped through the folder before letting a deep breath out. "The first thing we need to work on is making sure he has fewer visits to the hospital."
"It seems like the Kyuubi's chakra is still doing its job and healing Naruto-kun." Shizune said as she saw that now all his wounds were healed.
"So it seems but he will still need time to recover he has extreme chakra exhaustion. He will also need to go through psychoanalysis to see if he has not received any mental trauma. Along with the rest of the retrieval team regardless of how severe their injuries are they are to stay at this hospital until I deem them fit for duty again. That means Shikamaru also." Tsunade said as she at that moment heard a commotion outside the room.
"You ass holes better let me inside the room I have the right to see my son!" Tsunade and Shizune heard a female yell.
"We have orders to keep everyone out of the room until Hokage-sama says otherwise."
"Listen here you son of a bitch I don't care if you're an ANBU or not I will kill you if you DON'T GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY." The female said again.
Shizune looked at Tsunade, who was rubbing her head. "Tsunade-sama we should let her in before she hurts someone."
Tsunade didn't say anything just nodded her approval. Shizune smiled and walked over to the door and opened it. "It is ok Tsunade-sama said she can come in."
"DAMN RIGHT I CAN COME IN!" The lady said again before walking past the ANBU officer.
The lady walked inside the room before rushing to Naruto's bed. She quickly grabbed him and began to hug him. "Naruto-kun why is it that you put yourself through all of this all the time?" The Women asked the sleeping Naruto.
Tsunade and Shizune both looked over the scene with smiles. They were both happy that Naruto had a loving mother even if it was through adoption. They watched for a few more moments before Tsunade spoke. "Look I know you want to take Naruto home, but he is required to go through some tests first before he is released."
The women put Naruto back down gently and stood up with a stern look on her. The women wore a long hazel trench coat and short mahogany shirt with fish net top and leggings. Her hair was purple and tied into a spiky ponytail.
"Now Anko-san please calm down Tsunade is only looking out for Naruto-kun's safety and wellbeing." Shizune said trying to calm Anko down.
Both Anko and Tsunade stood there staring at each other. Before Anko nodded her understanding and began to walk out the room. Once at the door she turned around and looked at Tsunade. "I request the assignment of interrogating the Uchiha-teme and I won't take no for an answer. That asshole has something to answer."
Both Tsunade and Shizune both stood there in surprise. "How do you know Naruto brought Sasuke back? I never said the mission was a success." Tsunade said
"Oh please Naruto-kun is my son, and I know he completed his mission. He has yet to fail a single mission. Why would he start now? He also promised that pink haired Bitch Haruno. He never breaks his promises." Anko said with a hiss as she mentioned Sakura.
Tsunade looked over at Naruto and then back at Anko. "Your right about that, but putting you in command of Sasuke's interrogation is a conflict of interest. He harmed your child there for you may become emotional. We know how you are when you see someone hurt your son. We are just glad that he does not know how you are when he is not around."
"How dare you bring that up, I do not care if you are the Hokage. You have no right to bring that up. Naruto deserves the love I give to him. If he knew how I was behind his back it would hurt him too much. I did what I had to do to make sure Naruto had everything he deserved." Anko yelled. "I struggle everyday seeing how those bastards in the village treat him. I use my work as a release and you better believe I will let my anger out on the bastard Sasuke. I will make him answer everything I need him to answer I will make him pay for what he put Naruto through." Anko finished he face red and huffing to regain her cool.
Tsunade thought about it for a minute before answering. "Alright but if you get out of hand, I will remove you from the room myself. You understand?" Deep inside Tsunade felt a little guilty for bringing up Anko's personality into the mix. The least she could do was let Anko have a little time with the traitor to get answers.
"Yea whatever now that is out of the way I need to get my son some food for when he wakes up. I will be damned if I let him eat the food here." Anko said before walking out of the room leaving Tsunade and Shizune alone with Naruto.
15 minutes later
Before long, the sun in Konoha began to set and the street lamps began to light up the streets. Anko was walking through the streets with a smile, and a handful of Ramen take-out bowls from Naruto's favorite ramen stand. Anko was headed back to the hospital to leave the ramen for when Naruto woke up.
She arrived at the hospital and headed straight to Naruto's room. When she got into the hall that Naruto's room was in, she saw the lights on. She was a little confused but continued to walk along she then overheard Naruto's voice, and she got even more excited to find out her son was awake. Picking up her pace without spilling Naruto's ramen, she got closer to the room her smile getting wider. Then at the moment she got outside the door and turned to looking inside the room. She heard a female voice speak. "You monster, I can't believe you did that to Sasuke-kun."
"Sakura what the hell are you going? I brought you here because I thought you wanted to thank Naruto. I am not going to let you treat Naruto like that." Another female voice could be heard.
"He is a monster he deserves" Sakura could not finish speaking before another loud smack was heard
"Ino why are you sticking up for Naruto he hurt Sasuke. You should be mad at him too." Sakura said as she looked at Ino with shock at her friend slapping her.
"I will not let you put down my best friend when all he did was try to make you happy. You will apologize to him." Ino said as her face started to turn red from anger. Naruto was just sitting there not paying attention to the argument. He was holding his cheek and was in a daze after Sakura slapped him. Anko looked at Naruto and felt anger rising as she saw the state he was in. She dropped the ramen and clinched her fist.
The two girls heard the noise and looked to see who it was. The pink haired girl's eyes widened and she began to step backward. Anko looked at Naruto and saw his cheek was red and his heart was broken from the girl's harsh words. "Anko-san I didn't mean what I said I swear. I just got a little ang.."
Anko speed across the room and had the girl pinned against the wall by her neck before she could finish talking. "Listen here you little cunt if you ever touch my son again I will make sure you never have children. Do you understand what in saying? I never want you around Naruto again unless you apologize to him."
"Anko-san I know she was wrong but don't you think you're being too harsh on Sakura?" the blonde-haired girl said.
Anko looked over at the girl with hurt in her eyes. "Ino I know you are friends with Sakura but you know better than anyone how Naruto is. He does not need people like this bitch in his life." Anko said pointing to Sakura.
Ino did not speak for a moment before she let her head hang in shame "I'm sorry Anko-san. I tried to make her say sorry but she is too stuck on Sasuke and how Naruto hurt him. I thought she really wanted to thank Naruto not hurt him. Please believe me I would not have brought her if I knew she was going to do this."
Anko then looked up at Sakura who still was scared. "Now do you understand what I said?" Sakura nodded her head and then Anko released her from her hold. "Now get the hell out of here before I hurt you. Furthermore, I never want to see you around my son again."
Sakura turned and ran out the door not looking back. Anko after that looked over at Naruto and saw he was still holding his cheek unaware of what just happened in front of him. Anko saw pain in his eyes. She looked deeper into his eyes. She later heard him speak. "I just wanted to make someone happy." He spoke in a monotone voice. "I didn't have to take the mission. I didn't have to make that stupid promise."
Flashback
"Why me? Baa-Chan I have no reason to go after the Uchiha. Let him go it was his choice." Naruto spoke leaning against the wall in the Hokage's office.
"Naruto he's a prick I know, but he is a fellow shinobi there for it is your duty to get him back." Ino spoke.
"Why? I got my friends right here in front of me. What has he ever done for me?" Naruto said.
"Enough you're going and that is final you're the only Chunnin in the village along with Shikamaru." Tsunade said.
"Fine whatever..." Naruto said
"Now the mission is to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha before he reaches the border also eliminate the enemy. Naruto is responsible along with Shikamaru. Neji, Kiba, and Choji do you three understand?"
The three in question nodded their heads and turned to face Naruto and Shikamaru. "Good now go time is running out." Tsunade said
Everyone turned and bowed before leaving. A few moments later the five-man cell was approaching the gate of Konoha getting ready to leave. As they reached the gates, they heard people calling them.
"Naruto is that your mom and Ino, what are they doing here?" Shikamaru asked
Naruto only nodded before he was tackled to the ground. "Naruto-kun you better be safe and come back."
"I will Okaasan you worry too much." Naruto said giving his mom a hug as he got up.
"Well someone has to worry for you." Anko said.
Naruto smiled at his mom and then turned to Ino." What are you doing here Ino?"
"I'm here to see you off and wish you luck." Ino explained.
At that moment, everyone heard another voice, and they say Sakura running to them. "NARUTO! WAIT."
As she got closer Naruto turned to her and smiled. He had long ago lost his attraction to her but still considered her a kind of friend. "What is it Sakura?" he asked.
"I want you to promise you will bring Sasuke-kun back." She told Naruto.
Everyone looked at her with confusion and surprise. Naruto just stood there not saying anything. He after that turned to see everyone looking at him. He later turned back to Sakura. "Look I can't…"
"I said PROMISE ME!" Sakura yelled.
Anko got angry at someone yelling at her son other than her. "Hey watch your tone you little…"
Anko was cut off by Naruto. "Okaasan Its ok." He then turned to Sakura. "Fine I promise I will bring him back."
Sakura smiled and hugged Naruto before the five-man cell disappeared.
End flashback
Anko was hurting inside seeing her son like this. It hurt her every time he got depressed. It was the worst feeling to her to see him like this. She then looked in surprise as Ino sat next to him and hugged him. Ino was crying.
"Naruto-kun I'm sorry I let her do that but please don't shut me and Anko-san out again. We are here with you. I promise never to let anyone hurt you again."
Anko smiled at the two blondes but saw that Naruto was not giving any reaction. It worried her little that he was just sitting there with no emotion on his face. However, his eyes were filled with pain. Being called a monster must have sent him over the edge. He looked up and looked directly into Anko's eyes. She smiled until she saw his eyes flicker crimson, and his face turned into a scowl.
He then pushed Ino off and jumped through the window. Ino went to chase him when she felt someone grab her. She turned and saw Anko.
"Let him go, he needs time to himself. He will be back soon."
Ino just stood there and watched as Naruto disappeared during the night.
In the forest
Naruto was running through the forest full of anger. He was thinking about what Sakura had called him and what the whole village called him his entire life. It made him mad but most of all it hurt him. He slowed his pace coming to a walk, and he started to calm down. He decided he would walk around for a while before returning to the village.
As Naruto walked he heard a twig snap and on instinct, Naruto pulled a kunai out and got ready to fight. He looked around and saw no one was there. Then as he began to walk again he heard a faint cry. He moved slowly toward the cries. As he got closer he saw a female with red hair pinned against a tree by another tree. She was grasping for something that was out of reach and letting out cries of pain.
Naruto walked nearer keeping quiet. As he got closer he recognized her as one of the sound Nin, who was escorting Sasuke. His eyes widened as he saw there was another Nin, they were wearing a sound Hitai-ate. He watched as the one walked closer to the kunoichi. He then realized she was reaching for her weapon but could not reach it. Fear in her eyes was turning to desperation as the mystery Nin got closer. He reached her and saw them raise a kunai to her neck. She closed her eyes and waited for her death. However, it never came.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the Nin was lying dead next to her with a Kunai lodged in his skull. She then looked around to see who saved her. Her eyes fell on Naruto, and she once again tried to reach for her weapon.
"Hey its ok I'm here to help you. I am not going to hurt you." Naruto tried to reassure her.
"Fuck off." Was all she said as she looked at him.
Naruto walked up to her and stood over her. He reached down and grabbed what she was grasping for. "Is this what you wanted?" He asked as he handed it to her.
She grabbed it, and her eyes widened. She saw that her prized weapon was broken. "Hey let me help you get out of here. I'll take you to my village, and I'll buy you a new flute." Naruto said.
"Yea right. Like hell, I'll go with you. You think I'm fucking stupid?" She cussed at him.
"Look Baa-Chan can heal you all you got to do is let me help you." Naruto said as he reached over to the tree and removed it without any problems. The girl looked at him surprised at how he moved the tree with ease. She then saw him reach for her and she reacted by trying to crawl away.
"Hey I'm trying to help you, now stop you'll only injure yourself more." Naruto explained.
She didn't stop but continued to drag herself away. She next felt someone grab her, and she flinched in pain after that she felt the pain begin to be dulled. She turned around and saw Naruto's hands glowing green. He was healing her.
"Look I can simply dull the pain medical jutsu is not my thing. I just know enough to soothe pain." Naruto told her.
He then walked next to her and picked her up. He started to walk and saw she was still looking at him with confusion. "Why did you do that?" she asked him.
"Because you needed help and that's what I'm doing. Now come on I'll take you to Konoha."
At the mention of Konoha, she started to push him away. "I knew it you're going to take me back and torture me."
"Hey calm down I won't let anyone touch you, I promise."
The girl calmed down after hearing him promise. Something about him made her believe him. They continued to walk toward Konoha the whole time she stared at him. "Hey ass hole what's your game? You a pervert huh?"
Naruto only smiled. "No I am not a pervert. And my name is Naruto not ass hole."
"Well I'll call you what I want." She stated.
Naruto stopped and dropped her. With a loud thud she cried in pain as she hit the ground. She looked up at him getting ready to yell when she saw his eyes. They were void of emotion and just stared at her. "I do not have to save you. I could just leave you here to die. I will not be talked down by someone I do not know. I get enough of that from my village." Naruto said.
Naruto bent down and pulled a kunai out as he did. "I am trying to help you. You will be healed and just maybe you can feel safe and protected. I'm not going to lie to you. It is a good chance that you will not be trusted but you can change that. Now you can talk all the shit you want to me but if you so much as look at my friends and family wrong I will not hesitate to kill you." Naruto said as he put the kunai up to her neck. He eyes still void of emotion. She knew he was serious and she did not feel like dying so she nodded.
"Good, we should get going." Naruto said as he put his kunai away and picked her back up.
"What the hell is wrong with you? First you're all mister nice guy then you turn into this."
Naruto frowned a little and realized that she would be a handful. "So you know my name what's yours?" He asked
"Why should I tell you? You just threatened to kill me a second ago. You really have some mental issues don't you?
"More like trust issues. Now are you going to tell me your name?"
She just continued to look at him without speaking. He looked at her for a moment longer before looking up. "Fine you don't have to tell me."
"Tayuya…my name is Tayuya." She said finally giving up.
