A tall blond haired man walked down a dirt road that stretched far into the mountains. The blond haired man was thin, and wore a red cloak with black flames. Underneath the cloak the man wore a pair of orange pants with a long sleeved black flak jacket. The man stumbled forward as he tripped. The bottle in his hand sprayed out it's contents, and the man was quick to put the bottle to his mouth. To keep the precious liquid from being wasted. The man did more than just sip up the spill, but took a long chug. He let out a small "ahh". He wiped his face, and by doing so his hand grazed the whisker marks on his face.

The man gazed up at the sun, and took a hard long look at the sky. His blue eyes reflected the color of the sky, and the man groaned, "It's almost noon, and I'm nowhere near the Land of Light."

The man adjusted the scroll he carried on his back, and proceeded to walk. The man took another long drink from his bottle, and very soon it was empty. He groaned in displeasure, and threw the bottle to the side.

"Stupid Sake." groaned the man as he hadn't yet even reached a buzz. The man reached into his pocket, and he pulled out a letter. He narrowed his eyes as he read the piece of paper:

Naruto,

I need you to deliver the package that was sent to you. It's a letter to the Daimyo of the

Land of Light, and it is important for him to get it. I hope to open negotiations with him in order to purchase some of their technology. I found it only fit to send you, as the Daimyo happens to be a big fan of yours. Sorry for having to use you, but I'm sure you understand.

Best of wishes for your journey, and I hope you find what you're looking for

-Kakashi

P.S Do make sure to visit, we all miss you Naruto.

Naruto grinned a little bit, and knew that this mission was a bit under his skill level. After all he was the hero of the 4th Great Ninja War. Naruto grimaced at the idea, and suddenly he was filled with much disdain.

"Some hero I was…..couldn't even save a friend." muttered Naruto as he recalled the events that had occurred two years ago. Naruto brought up his prosthetic arm, and just gazed at it. He loathed it. It was only a reminder of what he failed to do. Naruto sighed as he wished he had another drink, and just kept immersed in his thoughts.

After all, he failed to save Sasuke. The only glimmer of closure was that at least he'd died a changed man. They had fought for the future of shinobi, and Naruto had won. It wasn't until the end that the man Naruto had met finally returned to him. Only to die next to Naruto as he used the last of his strength to release Infinite Tsukuyomi. Naruto clenched his teeth as he remembered the last breath Sasuke gave. Unlike him, Sasuke didn't have a bijuu inside of him keeping him alive regardless of the numerous injuries he had sustained. Once again Naruto had survived, only for other people to take his place among the dead. His father….his mother….his sensei….his friends...he was sick of the trend.

So, here he was now. Walking half drunk to some futuristic village Naruto had visited a few times, and was not really impressed with. It was only because Kakashi had asked him too, or he would have never returned to the Land of Light. He hadn't exactly had the best experiences in this nation.

Naruto eyes darted behind him as he suddenly felt the chakra of several men. Naruto didn't flinch as he continued to walk, and he took a deep sigh. Bandits. Out all of the people they could rob, it always had to be him. Naruto thought people would learn by now that robbing him never worked out.

Naruto spoke out loud, "And here I thought I was gonna enjoy a peaceful walk."

Then in the blink of an eye Naruto disappeared in a blur.

LINE (LAND OF LIGHT - A DAY LATER)

Naruto walked down a bustling street, and made sure to shrink himself into his collar. He kept his head down as he wanted nothing more than get out of the village. While his fame wasn't as prevalent so far out from the Elemental Nations, Naruto knew that if someone took a good look at him they might notice who he was. The talk with the Daimyo had been bothersome, and Naruto was forced to eat lunch with the man. Daimyo had done but brag about his nation's innovations, and congratulate Naruto for his accomplishments. It had been a draining day for our famous shinobi. At least the ramen had been amazing.

Naruto rubbed his stomach happily, as he took a turn on the street. That's when he came face to face with a brown haired woman. She was just as beautiful as Naruto had remembered her. The woman boasted an hourly glass shape body, and her brown hair matched nicely with her emerald colored eyes. Her high cheekbones and her big lips gave her an undesirable look that no man could resist. Not even Naruto.

The color drained from Naruto's face as he remembered a few fragments of his drunken memory, and knew exactly that the woman's angered look meant business. The woman pointed her finger at Naruto, and she seethed, "You-."

"Hayami!" shrieked Naruto as he gave nervous chuckle, "How have you been? I see you're looking just as great, how's it going?"

"No, I am not great, you fucking asshole!" shouted Hayami as she glared daggers into Naruto. The woman grabbed Naruto by the collar, and growled, "It was because of you that I got pregnant you stupid fool."

Naruto suddenly went motionless as all the strength from his muscles was drained out of his body. Naruto opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't find any words to speak. Then he managed to mouth the word pregnant.

"Yes, pregnant." repeated the woman as she pushed Naruto back. Hayami took a deep breath, and presented herself in a more womanly manner. Her gaze hardened as she declared, "Unfortunately my family were against aborting the child. So, I had to suffer nine months in hell carrying your stupid seed."

With that beauty punched Naruto in the face, and Naruto stumbled backwards still in shock with the news. Naruto then looked up as Hayami whipped her hair to the side, and informed, "I just wanted to give you a bit of payback, Boy of Miracles."

Hayami then turned to walk away, which caused Naruto to break from his daze. Naruto then rushed up to Hayami and put his hand on her shoulder. Hayami slapped Naruto's hand away instantly, and barked, "What now?"

"How can you be sure it's mine." asked Naruto, which only resulted in Hayami punching him in the face again. However, this time Naruto didn't even flinch as he brushed it off as nothing Which caused Hayami to stumble back in surprise. Hayami rubbed her fist as she quickly hid her shock with anger.

Hayami screamed, "You piece of shit, who do you think I am? Some whore that any guy can get? I've only ever slept with one guy, and that was you!"

Naruto didn't say anything as he felt a bit of guilt for the implication he had given, nevertheless, he couldn't help but feel skeptical. That's when Hayami continued, "Not to mention that when she was born she had your blond hair. No one in my family has any of that."

"She?"

"Yes, she." scorned Hayami as she put her hands on her hips. Then she mocked, "Maybe she'll be a hero just like Daddy."

"Hayami."

"What?"

Naruto eyes glistened with a bit of aspiration, which caught Hayami off guard. Naruto then offered, "Let me help you….I-I know I was an ass for just leaving the next night, but….I want to-"

"Haha!" laughed out Hayami as she let her laughter fill the street. Naruto gave her a perplexed look as he did not find the situation funny at all, but Hayami wiped a tear from her face. She shook her head, and then looked up at Naruto, "Sorry? You don't even know the half of it. But in the end it worked out for the best. I'm just glad my father found a orphanage far away from here to put that child."

"What?" asked Naruto as his jaw dropped in disbelief. He then croaked, "Orphanage?"

"Oh yes." answered Hayami as she gave Naruto a questioning look. Then she exclaimed, "You thought I would keep the child?"

Naruto said nothing in response, and Hayami gave a grin at Naruto's obvious answer. Then she ridiculed Naruto, "You thought me, a prodigal scientist would throw away her career for some child? Newsflash, Naruto I didn't want that kid, and I didn't need it ruining my life! The only reason I had it was because of my parent's morals, or I would have gotten rid of it a lot sooner."

Naruto said nothing as he closed his eyes for a moment. He let the breeze run across his face as he let his thoughts ponder for a few moments. He quickly reopened them, and he gave Hayami a serious look. He demanded to know, "Where is she?"

"AHH!" mocked Hayami, "Well look here,Daddy. I ain't telling you-"

Hayami didn't finish as Naruto grabbed her, and then everything became a blur for Hayami. For a few moments she could feel everything around her move at ridiculous speeds, and next thing she knew she was on the top of a roof. Naruto then pushed her off the edge, and Hayami gave a scream as she fell. Then Naruto reached out and grabbed her. She hung from the ledge, and fear ran through mind. She then finished her sentence, "Shit."

"Look here Hayami. I don't care what you may think of me, but I will not allow my daughter to grow up in an orphanage." stated Naruto as he looked down at Hayami, "So, tell me. Where is she."

"I'm not te-"

Naruto loosened his grip on Hayami, and Hayami screamed again. This time she looked up at Naruto angrily, and she finally confessed, "My father took her to an orphanage in a small Village on the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers."

Naruto pulled her back onto the rooftop, and Hayami let out a sigh of relief as she was back to safety. Naruto said nothing more as he jumped off the building. Hayami ran over to the ledge, only to see Naruto had disappeared. Hayami growled in anger, and she shouted, "I'll make him pay."

With that she pulled out a cell phone from her pocket, and she begun to dial a few numbers. She then boasted to herself, "Strongest Ninja to ever live? We'll see about that."

LINE (Kibo Orphanage - Border of Land of Fire and Land of Rivers) A few hours later…

Naruto had finally arrived. He sped through several trees, and eventually he reached the place of which Hayami spoke of. An orange iris surrounded his eye, and a toad like pupil was visible in his eyes. He landed on top of a tree branch, and he gazed into the distance. Naruto had been using his sage mode to try to track every location with human life around the border. This had been his 5th stop, but Naruto was certain this time. A few hundred feet in the distance a rather big house was perched up on a hilltop. The chakra he sensed inside this building was different from the rest. He could feel the joyous and uncontrollable energy of every child in there. Not wasting a second he jumped off the tree, and ran towards the orphanage.

It took him a few seconds to cross the dirt path leading up to the orphanage, and he quickly found himself standing in front of the door. Naruto brought his right hand up to knock on the door, but suddenly he found himself freezing in place. Thinking before acting was never his strong suite, and now it was starting to show.

"What the hell am I supposed to say?" pondered Naruto as he hadn't really thought what he was going to say. Could he just burst in there and say his daughter was in this orphanage. What if she was adopted by some family already. Naruto cringed as he quickly cursed his family's good looks if that was the case. Naruto shook his head, and decided to do what he did best. Guns blazing, questions later. *CLICK*

The door swung open, and it caused Naruto to jump back in fright. Naruto was still not mentally prepared to face the reality of the situation, and felt a shiver go down his his fear was unreasonable, since a young boy of the age around thirteen poked his head around the door. He had a ball in his hand, and behind him were three boys around the same age. The moment the boy made eye contact with Naruto he dropped the ball. Naruto quickly put his hand behind his head, and waved, "Hello…."

"IT'S NARUTO UZUMAKI!" shouted the boy. Naruto deadpanned, and muttered, "Oh yeah…."

Instantly a bunch of commotion erupted from inside the orphanage, and about 13 more kids came running to the door. Several kids no older than the 13 year old surrounded Naruto, and begun to ask him several questions.

"Is it true you can destroy mountains?"

"Can you really fly?"

"Show us your super duper ninja skills!"

"Wait! One at a time!" screamed Naruto as he was still not quite used to so much attention. While he'd had an easy time playing with the orphanage kids back in Konoha, it was a different story out here. A little boy had finally gotten super excited, and jumped onto Naruto. Only for Naruto to quickly replace himself with another little critter, and escape the mob of little kids. The little kids all gushed at Naruto's small show of ninjutsu, and rushed at him again. That's when a loud stern voice was heard coming from the doorway, "ATTENTION!"

The little kids halted instantly, and they all quickly lined up into a single file. Naruto let out a sigh of relief, and he turned to face the person at the doorway. An older woman stood in front of him wearing a green gown with a white apron over it and a pair of sandals. The woman the kids a scorning look, and then she looked over to Naruto. She gave a little bow before speaking, "My name is Miki Aiko. it's an honor to meet you Naruto Uzumaki. I feel like I can never repay you for all the deeds you have done."

"There is no need to repay me for anything. I was only doing what anyone else would do." responded Naruto with much humility. The woman gave Naruto a smile, and shook her head, "No I must really thank you. If it wasn't for you many of my children would have died. You see most kids here who aren't adopted usually leave for Konoha to become ninjas. Most have come back thanks to you, and they have told me about the man who saved their life…...Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto was left speechless as he found it difficult to process Miki's gratitude. The woman looked over the children, and then back at Naruto. She muttered under her breath, "A humble man indeed."

"Alright children! Go on and play! I'm sure doesn't need a bunch of brats bothering him, and he's surely here on some important business." shouted Miki, and all the kids grudgingly ran down the hill to go play. Miki then let out a frown as she looked up at Naruto's headband, and then she let out a deep breath.

"So, who died this time?" asked Miki as she walked back into the orphanage. Naruto let out a confused look, and followed.

Naruto informed her, "Miki, I'm not here to report any deaths."

"You're not?" asked Miki as her mood brightened, and her hand went over her heart. She gave a small smile, and then embarrassedly admitted, "I'm so sorry. It's just most of the time a ninja from the leaf comes around here is to inform me that one of my children have fallen in battle."

"I'm sorry for having worried you, but I'm here on a different matter." explained Naruto. Naruto took a deep sigh, and his face went a little bit red. He then fessed up, "You see….I may not have been the most responsible adult."

"What do you mean?"

Naruto bit his tongue as he looked down at Miki's eyes. Miki gasped as she gazed into Naruto's shining blue eyes, and her eyes darted to look up at his sun kissed blond hair. Miki and Naruto remained silent for a moment, and then she asked, "So that child?"

"Yeah…..it seems so."

Miki didn't say a word, and Naruto watched as she disappeared down the hall and around a corner. Naruto just remained in frozen in his spot, and then Miki's head peeked around the corner. She signaled Naruto to follow her, and Naruto quickly did as she commanded. Naruto turned the corner, and was met with another hallway that led to some stairs. Naruto and Miki headed up the stairs, and continued down another hall. The third door on the left was the one they entered.

The room had three cribs lined up in a row, and Naruto watched as Miki moved to the third one. Naruto slowly approached the crib, and froze the moment he stared at the baby in the crib. It was honestly scary how much the baby reminded Naruto of himself. She had the same tanned skin, and blond hair. The only difference Naruto saw was that she didn't have any whisker marks, and her eyes were a light green. Naruto couldn't help, but let out a smile. Naruto uttered, "Sh-she's perfect."

"Isn't she?" agreed Miki as she looked down at the child, "She's a perfect little angel. Never had a child as peaceful as her. The only time she really throws a fit is when she's hungry, and let me tell you she has quite the appetite. It's a shame she was left here so young."

Naruto said nothing as he felt a great deal of shame run through his head. Miki saw Naruto's reaction, and waved her hand in negation. She explained, "I don't mean it to be your fault. I don't really know your situation, but it seems like you really didn't know about her until after she was here. I'm just glad you came when you did. Every child deserves to have a parent."

"I swear on my life….I never leave her alone again." uttered Naruto as his voice cracked up. Tears began to stream down his face as he finally let his emotions get the better of him. He continued, "I have failed at so many things, but….she will not be one of them."

"Right." said Miki as she patted Naruto on the back. She then gave Naruto a big smile, and then instructed, "Well, her official name is Yumi. I suppose I can right up the adoption papers, and finalize everything in an hour…..hmmm, Yumi Uzumaki. That has a nice ring to it."

Naruto wiped a tear, and he commented, "Yumi...that's a great name."

"MOMMA!"

Naruto and Miki's heads both turned behind them to face the sound. Naruto and Miki's eyes met for a brief second before bolting out the door. Naruto didn't wait for Miki, and he sped off in front of her. Naruto quickly reached the outside, and he was met with a scene of fleeing kids. Several of them ran behind Naruto, and into the safety of the house. Naruto watched as a trio of men slowly made their way up the hill.

The boy who'd opened the door earlier was struggling in the hands of one of the men. The man who held onto him was short in size, and dorn an odd black uniform. He had spiky red hair, and he was the first to notice Naruto. The man gave Naruto a smirk, and Naruto watched as he pulled out a kunai.

Naruto shunshined down the hill in the blink of an eye. Naruto grabbed onto his wrist, and kept the man from bringing the kunai down onto the boy. The man reacted quickly by shoving the boy into Naruto's arms, and kicking him away. Naruto was pushed back a few feet in the air, but recovered quickly. The moment his foot touched the ground, he disappeared in another shunshin and avoided a hail of kunai.

Naruto reappeared a few feet away with the boy in hand. Naruto looked down at the boy, and he commanded, "Go into the house….now."

The boy didn't wait another second, and he quickly moved behind Naruto and ran. Naruto looked up at the three men, and took a better look. The man in the far back was very tall and thin. He wore the same black uniform as the others, but had curly black hair. The third man was a little bit shorter than Naruto, and was much paler compared to his two companions. He had short black hair that reached just below his ear.

"What exactly are you doing here?" asked Naruto as his eyes darted between the men, "What purpose do you have coming to an orphanage?"

"We mean no harm." offered the red headed man, as he gave an apologetic look, "You see we aren't here to harm no kids, we're just here to pick up a little blond baby."

The tallest of the three stepped forward, and he muttered, "We don't need to discuss anything with this man, let's just kill him and get it over with. The sooner we get the brat, the sooner we get paid."

"Always a joy kill, Re-" the redheaded man didn't finished as Naruto was the first to attack. He crossed the distance between him and the redheaded man in an instant. A rasengan quickly formed into his hand, and he launched at the man. However, the curly haired man reacted just in time, and pushed the redheaded man out of the way. Naruto's rasengan instead slammed into the tall man, only for his rasengan to come to a halt. Naruto then heard a loud screech as his rasengan tried desperately to destroy the obstacle in it's path. Naruto looked up at the tall man, and watched as the man's skin had turned metallic.

"Kekkei Genkai." concluded Naruto, but was suddenly assaulted from the side. The third man had kicked Naruto to the side, and Naruto was sent rolling into the dirt. Naruto slammed his hand into the ground, and pushed himself back up in an instant. Naruto pulled a kunai, and blocked several kunai thrown his way.

The metallic man launched himself at Naruto, and brought down both of his fists on top of him. Naruto rolled to the side, and avoided the attack. The moment he was back onto his feet, the black haired man launched a Fire Release: Fire Ball Jutsu at Naruto. Naruto quickly went through his own hand seals, and launched the only water jutsu he'd been taught by Isobu. Water Release: Great Water Mass Bullet.

A giant ball of water was launched from Naruto's mouth, and obliterated the fireball. It's destructive force not only extinguished the fireball, but kept moving forward towards Naruto's opponent. The other man barely dodged the attack as it destroyed the ground underneath his feet.

Naruto quickly turned around to dodge the another attack from the man with the metal kekkei genkai. Suddenly Naruto found himself surrounded by the trio of men. Naruto was face to face with the redheaded man who'd chosen to stay out of most the fight. That's when the man went through several hand signs, and the two other men did too. Then the three shouted simultaneously, "KIRISAME JUTSU!"

Naruto's eyes narrowed as he watched a cloud form above his head. Then very slowly rain begun to drizzle down on Naruto until very soon in reached a steady flow. Naruto could feel the chakra being leeched off his body, and instantly recognized the jutsu. Naruto felt his fists tightened as he recalled the last time someone had used the jutsu.

"Utakata." sulked Naruto as several thoughts ran through his mind. The three men around Naruto gave a grin, and they begun to form several hand signs. Naruto closed his eyes, and took a deep sigh. Kirisame was a jutsu meant to absorb chakra not of the caster's….the perfect jutsu to use against shinobi…..or jinchuuriki. But Naruto was not just any ordinary jinchuuriki, nor was he limited to only normal chakra. Naruto reopened his eyes, and the pigment in his eyes were visible in his eyes again. The biggest weakness of any chakra absorbing jutsu was senjutsu. Since it took a senjutsu technique to fight another senjutsu technique.

Naruto watched as a large fire dragon had formed in front of him, and it easily towered over the small hillside. Naruto bit his lip as he looked over at the small orphanage, and saw that things might look bad. The last thing everyone saw was a bright orange light fill the sky.

LINE (AN ASS KICKING LATER)

The orphanage lay untouched. Yet the path going up the hill towards the orphanage was

unrecognizable. The few trees that had been scattered across the hill tops were gone with only part of its stump as evidence they were ever there. The dirt path that had led up to the hill was no longer visible as most of the grass around it had been destroyed. Making the dirt path blend with the dirt around it. Yet, the orphanage laid without a single scratch on it's crusty old paint.

On a tree stump, Naruto sat with his red jacket flying in the wind. Naruto reached into his jacket, and pressed his hand on a hidden seal that read "drink". A small flask appeared in Naruto's hand, and Naruto brought it to his other hand. Naruto unscrewed the top, and then took the flask to his mouth. Naruto paused as he let the end of the flask touch his lips, and he sat there motionless. Spontaneously, Naruto threw the flask down the hill, and watched as it's contents spilled out. Naruto scratched his heads, and promised himself, "Never again."

" -"

Naruto turned around, and watched as Miki walked up to him with all the kids cowering behind her. Naruto watched as many of the children looked around at the field in awe, and couldn't believe the destruction that a ninja battle could cause. Naruto gave Miki an apologetic look, and he croaked, "Sorry, about making the area so messy. I have a friend in Konoha that could come, and fix it up. I'm sure he won't mind."

"Uhhh….It's fine, but what happen to those men? Did you…." Miki's didn't finish her question as she looked at the children around her, but her fears were for naught as Naruto shook his head. Naruto answered, "Again, I must apologize. I suppose they came here for the same reason as me. I made sure to have some shadow clones transport them to Konoha. You won't have to worry about them anymore."

"So, they were here for the girl?" asked Miki as she gave Naruto a sympathetic look. She could only assume the worst, and knew that there was more than likely an underlying motive for going after the girl. Miki nodded, and she told Naruto, "Forget the damage."

"How about we get back to those adoption papers?" offered Miki as she gave Naruto a smile, and Naruto returned it with a smile of his own. Naruto nodded, and he agreed, "Shall we."

A FEW WEEKS LATER (Tanzaku Quarters)

A tall busty blonde woman stood grinning over a long table. She wore a green haori with the kanji for gamble written on the back. Underneath she wore grey, kimono style blouse, held closed by a broad, dark blue gray obi that matched her pants. She wore high heels that gave her an inch of height. The woman gave a huge holler as she violently shook the cup of dice in her hands. She then tossed it the dice onto the table, and she watched with anticipation as the die hit the wall.

"Point! Tsunade Senju wins again!"

Tsunade let out a scream, and couldn't believe she had won again. Normally, Tsunade knew that winning so many games usually didn't lead to any good, but it had been days since she had won. So far, not a single bad thing had happened. Tsunade's grin was almost inextinguishable until a man walked into casino.

Naruto strolled in what Tsunade had to determine was his worst attempt at being disguised. Considering the fact that Naruto was capable of constructing the some of the most powerful transformation jutsus known to man. Tsunade couldn't help but give a sigh as Naruto rolled in his usual get up but with a pair of sunglasses and a fake mustache. Tsunade nearly broke the cup in her hand, when she realized that Naruto was pretending to be a father by having a baby carrier on his chest. Tsunade then actually broke the cup, when she realized there was an actual baby in the carrier.

"Don't tell me that idiot kidnapped a baby just to sneak in here…." grimaced Tsunade as she ignored the complaints that came from the dealer about the broken cup. That's when Naruto finally noticed Tsunade, and happily skipped towards her.

"Hey, Granny…." whispered Naruto loudly as he was face to face with her. Tsunade could easily tell that Naruto was having the ball of his life, as Naruto was having a hard time holding down a laugh as he continued, "It's me….Naruto."

"I KNOW THAT YOU IDIOT!" screamed Tsunade as brought her fist up to punch Naruto, when the child in his baby carrier let out a giggle. Tsunade froze as she looked down at the green eyed blond girl in front of her. Tsunade let out a confused look at the baby, and then looked up at Naruto. Whom, chose to ignore Tsunade, and walked over to the CRAPs playing table.

"Oooh!" let out Naruto as he went up to the dealer, "So I just roll the dice, and I win?"

"It's a bit more complicated than that."

Naruto pulled out a small bag of coins, and handed it to the dealer, "I want to play, and I want

to bet all of that on one roll."

The dealer opened the bag, and then gave Naruto a flabbergasted look. The dealer then gave a grin, and handed Naruto a new cup with die. He then answered, "Alright, just throw the dice against the wall and have a go."

"Naruto, what are you doing?" asked Tsunade as she looked upon the crazy bet. Naruto shrug his shoulders, "Well, I haven't been working for a while, and I need some more money."

Tsunade was about to ironically tear apart the logic of betting all your money at a casino, when Naruto threw his die onto the table. For a moment, the room went silent, and all that could be heard was the dealer's shaky voice, "A-A S-seven?"

"Does that I mean I win?"

LINE ( AN HOUR LATER)

"I still can't believe you won a million Yen." muttered Tsunade as she drank her tea. Naruto sat across her in a fancy red booth, where Naruto sat grinning while feeding Yumi a bottle of milk. Naruto shrug his shoulders, "Devil's luck I suppose."

Tsunade didn't say anything, as she knew better than to bet against Naruto's insane luck. Tsunade instead directed her attention to the baby girl, and she asked Naruto, "By the way, what's up with the kid? For a moment, I thought it was a transformation, but…..you're feeding it."

"Oh this?" asked Naruto as he pointed down at the baby girl, "This is Yumi."

"Uhhh….why do you have….Yumi?" asked Tsunade still confused with the whole ordeal. Not really understanding, why Naruto had the little girl. She also didn't understand why Naruto had come to see asked, "Why are you even looking for me, Naruto? Does the village need me or something?"

Naruto shook his head, he looked down at the girl. Naruto then gave Tsunade a very solemn look, and he replied, "I'm here because of her."

"Her? What's so special about her?"

"Her full name is….." Naruto took a deep breath to add suspense to the moment, and then revealed, "Yumi Uzumaki."

The cup of tea slipped from Tsunade's hands, and broke as it hit the ground below. The two shinobi remained silent for a moment, and Tsunade gave Naruto a look of disbelief. Naruto watched as several emotions ran through Tsunade's face, and finally stayed on the most familiar one. Smoke poured out of Tsunade's nostrils, as she yelled at Naruto, "IF NOT THE MOST IRRESPONSIBLE THING YOU'VE EVER DONE, NARUTO!"

Naruto took a deep sigh, and he clutched Yumi tighter as Tsunade flipped the table and sent it flying out the window. Tsunade then shouted some more, "I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU HAD MATURED SOME, NARUTO! BUT YOU'RE JUST AS STUPID AS JIRAIYA! EVEN IN DEATH HE MOCKS ME WITH HIS STUPID IRRESPONSIBLE STUDENT! I KNEW I SHOULD'VE NURTURED THAT IDIOT WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE! AND DON'T LET ME GET STARTED WITH YOU! THAT'S IT!"

Tsunade then jumped forward, and threw her fist with all her might at Naruto. Her fist was a few feet away from Naruto when she realized the error of her actions. Tsunade looked down at the baby, and with all her might tried to stop her fist. Yet, her momentum carried her forward, and there was little to do to stop her raging fist.

"CLAP!"

The sound of Naruto's palm catching Tsunade's fist was thundering. A shockwave erupted in all directions, and the small restaurant was all but destroyed. Yet, none of the damage laid no more destruction than the damage to Tsunade's pride. Whom, looked down Naruto in awe as she stared at the scene in front of her. Naruto left arm covered Yumi's ears, and Naruto's right arm had caught Tsunade's fist effortlessly. While some whisks of chakra were visible coming off Naruto's palm, Tsunade was still shocked to see someone catch her fist so effortlessly. For a moment, Tsunade couldn't help but see Naruto in a different light. He was no longer the knuckle head ninja she had first met.

Tsunade pulled back her fist, and she staggered back into her seat. Tsunade let out a loud sigh, and she jeered, "So, you came here….for Yumi?"

"Yes, after all there is no medic I trust no more than you, Tsunade." confined Naruto as he kept feeding the young girl. Naruto then added, "I need you to do a DNA test, and a check up on her."

"Why not go to Sakura?"

Naruto answered Tsunade's question quickly, "I'd rather that no one know of her existence quite yet. I want her to live a somewhat normal life before she has to attend schooling in Konoha."

"You've given this a lot of thought."

"Yes, I have."

Tsunade rubbed her forehead in agony, and she shook her head. She looked up at Naruto, and then moved over to touch Yumi's cheek. Tsunade couldn't help, but suppress a smile at the bundle of joy. Yumi did not react to Tsunade's touch, as she was too busy drinking from her bottle. Tsunade looked up at Naruto, and she admitted, "At least she's a cute little thing. I suppose it makes my job a little easier."

"So, tomorrow at 4 should be a good time?" asked Naruto with a mischievous grin. Tsunade rose an eyebrow, and replied, "Why can't we just do it now?"

Tsunade's eyes went wide as she finally heard someone clearing their throat, and very slowly looked to her right. A man in a very expensive suit stood over Tsunade with a very angry smile, and declared, "Oh! You're the Lady who's been winning it big the last couple of days at Hiroko's Casino!"

"Then I suppose you won't have any problems paying for the damages?" threatened the man, and Tsunade's jaw dropped in horror. Tsunade turned to face Naruto only to see that he had made a hasty escape. Tsunade clenched her fists, and shouted, "NARUUUUTTTTTTOOOOOOO O!"

LINE (4 YEARS LATER)

"Daddy一Look it's a boar!" shouted Yumi as she treaded to the edge of the trail. She was a only a few feet tall, but was given a few inches of height due to her pink hoodie with rabbit ears. Her blond hair poked out the side of her hood into two long pigtails that reached her waist and were tied off with a green ribbon. The green ribbon matched her green pants with white polka dots, and she wore a pair of pink sandals.

Naruto looked the same as he had when he first met Yumi except he looked a tad older as he had grown into his 20's, and now had much shorter hair. Gone was the untamed blond hair that he had shared with his father. Naruto looked over at Yumi, and hollered, "Enough of that! Come on Yumi, we need to get going."

Yumi gave a defeated look as she was now a few feet away from the wild boar, and slowly followed her father. Yumi quickly reached her father's pace, and started to walk for a short while. A few moments later she grabbed her father's hand, and begun to skip alongside him. Naruto looked over, and rose an eyebrow. Naruto asked, "So, what's got my little princess so excited?"

"Hmm…." murmured Yumi as she concentrated on skipping, and then slowly looked up at Naruto. She answered, "Isn't it obvious?"

"No, not really."

Yumi stopped halfway through her skip, and she pulled Naruto back. Yumi then hollered, "We're going to KONOHA~! I've heard that it's like one of the bestest places in the world!"

"Who told you that?" asked Naruto.

Yumi put her hands on her hips, and responded, "Granny."

"Did she?" asked Naruto, and he continued to walk. Yumi quickly trotted behind him, and she begun to skip again. Naruto then added, "Did I tell you about that one time I saved Granny's old behind? You should've seen her before I met her. A complete mess "

"No way!" burst out Yumi as she looked at Naruto in disbelief. Naruto rose an eyebrow finding it hard to believe her own daughter questioned his greatness. Naruto then questioned, "You don't think I could save the old hag?"

Yumi nodded, and then she explained, "There was one time me and Granny went to a secret park, and I watched her punch a guy through a ceiling and flying into the sky! FLYING! So, I can't see Granny needing any help at all."

"Secret Park?" asked Naruto in confusion, not even unnerved about Tsunade's showboat of violence in front of his child. Yumi clapped her hand over mouth, and she muttered, "Ooppps!"

Naruto narrowed his eyebrows, and he demanded, "Yumi….start talking."

"Well一," croaked Yumi as a drop of sweat went down her forehead, "Granny did make me promise not to tell….but this Secret Park is super awesome!"

"Yumi…."

"OK!" pestered Yumi as she puffed out her cheeks in a show of defiance, and she confessed, "There was this one time Granny took me to the secret park called the Casino! There was a lot of older people, and Granny told me that it was a super park for adults! Kids usually aren't allowed, but Granny made an exception just for me!"

Naruto's jaw dropped to the ground not believing that Tsunade would go to such extremes to win. Yumi didn't notice Naruto's reaction,and gushed over the secret park, "There was this one game with dices! It was super easy. All I had to do was throw a pair of dice against the wall, and roll either a 7 or 11. We just kept winning and winning! Then this bully said I was too young to be playing."

Yumi then gave her best impression of Tsunade's punch, and she finished with, "Then granny gave him a good smack, and sent him flying!"

"Yumi…"

"Uhh….yes daddy?"

"Never again."

"But Daddy! The secret park一"

"YUMI!"

"Yes, Daddy…."

AUTHOR's NOTE

Hope you enjoy the story. A take if Sasuke had died after the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke, and Naruto turning almost like Jiraiya. I will be incorporating some of Naruto: The Last elements, even though it isn't going according to the timeline. As well, I will go deeper into what happened to Naruto right after the war, and do not worry Yumi's mom will appear again. Hayami will be a big plot point for the future!

Thanks for reading this out! I've know that I tend to jump around stories a lot! Just to let everyone know I'm done writing Overlooked Prodigy, Guildmaster, and The orb. Everything else may get updated know and then, but those three are dead. I'm really not motivated to write them. I might rewrite the Orb, but the rest are done. Sorry to all it's fans, but appreciate all of the support! Hope you enjoy this new series! Thanks!
