Naruto Prince of Lions

A long time ago before Kushina left her home in the Whirlpool village to come to Konoha, she and her family were well known for not only their skill the ninja arts, but also the art of training lions for battle. It was said that the Uzumaki lions were some of the most deadliest in the world. And the lions trained and raised by Kushina Uzumaki were some of the deadliest out there. Because of that, she was given the name 'Red Lioness of Death'. But nothing last forever and the Uzumaki clan was split into two fractions one that consisted of both the ninja arts and lion summoning and the one that focused only on ninja arts. Kushina would have still been a lion summoner if she did not marry into the Namikize clan. But as many of you know, Kushina died giving birth to a baby boy who we all know and love, Naruto Uzumaki. Now it is time for Naruto to unite his clans and bring back the art of summoning lions and bring peace to both clans and stop the up coming invasion from sound, and keep the woman he loves from harm.

And this is where our story begins....

Naruto's Dream

"Huh? Where am I and why does this look like something out of that painting I saw two years ago." Naruto gets up and begins to walk around the opened grassland that is filled with lush vegetation, animals and many flowers that would make Ino cry.

While Naruto was walking he noticed the sound of a loud roar coming from a near by cave. Once Naruto stepped inside he saw a group of female lionesses surrounding one lioness and a lion and what looked like a cub. One thing that stood out from the lions was the symbol on their left front leg that said 'Uzumaki'. The lion himself looked like he was from the Leaf village and stood proud with a mane of blood red hair and fur that was golden as Naruto's spiky hair and had deep blue eyes too. The lioness was a deep red color that was close to the color of blood and held within her paws a small lion cub. As Naruto got closer he noticed that on the right paw of the cub was the symbol of the leaf village. As Naruto knelt down towards the little cub he began to hear a soft sound like someone was-

*end of dream*

"Naruto-kun come on its time to wake up sleepy head. You promised to spend the day with me. Please wake up please." Hinata had arrived ten minutes ago to wake up her boyfriend of seven months and it didn't look like he was getting up any time soon.

"Naruto-kun you promised that you would spend the day with me and the only way for that to happen and for you to get your surprise is for you to get u-AHHHH!!!" Hinata screamed in surprise as said boyfriend she was trying to wake up grabbed her and flipped her so she was on the bottom of him. Hinata couldn't help but blush bright red at the position that they were in and at the same time she couldn't stop the growing heat that was overflowing in her.

"Now what were you saying about me not staying in bed all day, Hina-chan? Cause the way I see it, we both could spend the day together, just we wouldn't leave this room. So does that sound like a plan to you Hina-chan?" Naruto leaned forward and gave his wonderful girlfriend a kiss on the lips.

*Moan* Naruto couldn't help but smile as he heard his hime moan into his kiss which gave him the chance to deepen his kiss.

Hinata was on cloud nine and was trying her best to remember what she and Naruto were supposed to be doing right now (besides making out on his bed and loving every minute of it) but there was something really important that she was trying to remember that the Lady Hokage she was supposed to tell him, but she was having a hard time remembering what it was. And Naruto was having a hard time trying not to ravish his girlfriend and make love to the girl at the moment thanks to a certain fox demon who just happened to wake up hot and horny for some odd reason.

Kit let me have my way with the girl and give pleasure to the both of you. Its not like you haven't been thinking about doing it your self. And in any case its close to mating season for me, so you might as well get used to taking cold showers every morning cause until I get some you are stuck waking up as horny as hell kit.

To say that Naruto was not surprised was an understatement but at the moment he had to pull himself up and off of Hinata.

"Mmm..Hinata-hime, I think I'm awake now, so why don't you go and wait for me in the living room. I'll be out in a few minutes then we can spend the day together like I promised, cause I always keep my promise." Naruto then flashed Hinata a foxy grin and kissed her one more time before getting off of her and helping her stand up, which was a problem since Hinata's legs felt like a bowel of jelly after that make out session.

As Naruto made sure Hinata was steady and could make it to the living room on her own he went about the task of getting ready for the day and getting rid of a 'ahem' "little" problem that he acquired thanks to the fox.

So while Naruto was taking a nice long, relaxing, and ice cold shower to relieve him of his hard problem, Hinata was sitting in the living room trying to slow her heartbeat down. And now that she was able to think, she could remember the message that the Lady Hokage wanted her to tell Naruto. Just as she was remembering what the message was, Naruto came into the living room fully dressed and sporting his ever famous grin and sat down next to Hinata.

"So what did you want to do today anyhow since we have the day off, what did you have in mind?" Naruto smiled at the girl sitting next to him and was surprised at what she said next.

"Maybe staying here would be a good idea." Naruto just stared at his girlfriend and knew that something was wrong.

"Hinata what's wrong, you were looking forward to today so what happened?" Naruto knew of only one thing that Naruto could think of that would make his Hinata change her mind, would be her father.

"Naruto there are two reasons why I change my mind. One is my father, you see on my way here, I kinda ran into him and lets just say that he still hasn't forgiven you for that black eye you gave him a few months ago. And the fact that you and I are dating." Naruto could only smirk at the memory and grimace at the same time, for only after a month of dating Hiashi decided to make an ass out of himself and prove to Naruto that he is as hard headed as Tsunade thinks he is by not only yelling at Hinata in front of him, but slapping her and busting her lip. Which ended in Hiashi getting not only a black eye but also having his pride damaged beyond repair.

"Okay Hinata so what's the second reason why you changed your mind about going out today?" Naruto continued to look at his girlfriend hoping everything was alright.

"Well last night a group of unknown ninja's came through the village and brought some big creatures that looked like lions. They haven't caused any trouble but they are looking for something or someone. The Lady Hokage has let everyone know about what was going on and all ninjas are to be alert. And since she called this meeting early in the morning, you kinda missed out, that and she wasn't in the mood to hear you that early in the morning so she told me to tell you. So that's the reason I want to stay here with you today, as a precaution to my father and to what ever these new ninjas want." Naruto just shook his head and pulled Hinata into his arms and held her for a few minutes and then began to stroke her long midnight blue hair.

"Hinata I have an idea, a way to avoid your father for the day and a way to help take your mind off these new ninjas. A few days ago on my way back from a mission I spotted this valley with dozens of wild flowers. I figured that it would be the perfect place to have a picnic and a perfect way to celebrate both you and me making Jounin. So do you still want to head out today? Cause I'm more than ready to head out and don't worry about those nin with the lions, from what I was told by pervy sage, lions attack mostly in defense and that they're more afraid of us than we are of them. So is my princess up for a picnic for two?" Naruto just laughed as Hinata began to shower his face with kisses and laugh as well. Before the couple could head out on their little outing they both tensed, for now they were sensing the presence of an unknown chakra and it wasn't friendly.

"WHO EVER YOU ARE COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF!!!!" Naruto took a fighting stance and Hinata did the same. Both were very much surprised when a beautiful woman with long brown hair and blue eyes came out in full ninja gear ready for a fight but that's not what surprised them the most. What surprised them was the fact that there was a huge tan lioness with green and yellow eyes coming from out of his room with Naruto's old orange jumpsuit jacket that he wore when he was a genic between its teeth carrying it to the woman.

Then the woman began walking towards them along with all the while holding Narrate's old jacket and looking at it with a look of indifference and curiosity and began to speak.

"Tell me young man, are you by chance Narrate Uzumaki, the lucky son-of-a-gun that has lived here in the leaf village for the past 17 years?" Narrate didn't like where these questions were heading. He also didn't like this woman going through his stuff like she had the right.

Hinata wasn't so thrilled that someone besides her was going through Narrate's clothes. She was close to skinning this woman alive, that is if it wasn't for the huge lioness that was right next to this shrew.

"I mean no disrespect, and I know that I had no right to go through your belongings its just that one of my lionesses caught the scent of one of my old comrades from a long time ago and we followed that scent to here. Tell me why do you smell like Kushina Uzumaki blood and why do you bare her last name?" At the moment said woman was now angry and for what reason, both Naruto and Hinata didn't know why, but what ever the reason it had to do with Narrate's late mother.

"Okay I don't know how you know my mother, but what ever your problem is-," Naruto and Hinata both saw said woman and lioness had shocked expressions on their faces and was surprised by what she said next.

"You're the son of Kushina Uzumaki? But how my family and I searched everywhere for you and we couldn't find you. All we were able to go on were tales of a blonde boy with amazing chakra and was traveling with a old pervert that couldn't keep his hands to himself and have done nothing but good throughout the ninja nations and we found nothing. This is wonderful isn't Nila?" Said lioness smiled at her mistress and began walking up to Naruto and Hinata and began to rub herself on their legs the same way a cat would rub up against the leg of its master's leg.

"Um not to seem rude but if you don't mind telling us what you are talking about and did you say lionesses?" it just hit Naruto that this woman said she had more than one lioness with her and they could be any where in the village.

"*chuckle* Do not worry, my girls are hidden in a high enough place that is secluded that they won't cause anyone trouble unless provoked. Now as for what I was talking about, I think it would be a good idea to see the Hokage about this matter." As the woman and Nil made their way to the door she stopped and turned to the young teens.

"Before I forget, my name is Azula and I have a funny feeling that our paths will cross soon, so until next time, young ones." And just like that both Azula and Nila were gone leaving only a pair of confused teens in the wake.

"Naruto-kun how did that woman know about your mother? I didn't think that any one would know about her since she came from the Whirlpool village and thats about what everyone here in the village knows about her that and the fact that she was one of the deadliest ninjas that ever walked the Earth." Hinata looked towards her Naruto and saw that he to was confused.

"I know and I found out about her a year ago while going through my fathers' notes and stuff. And Granny Tsunade still won't let me see my family records and stuff like that until I'm 21 at least." Naruto was now more confused about his family than ever. True he had heard about a few living Namekize's living in another village and he was planning on meeting them in a few years, but he didn't know of any other Uzumaki's out there.

Now he was beginning to wonder if there were other Uzumaki's out there that he didn't know about and why that woman was so happy to see him.

Meanwhile in another part of the village, to be more precise at the Hokage's office, Tsunade was having a nice little talk with two people, one being Azula and the other being her twin brother Iroh, and Tsunade was wishing that she had a case of sake right now to help her get over the shocking news she had just heard.

"Okay let me see if I heard you right, you are here for Naruto because you're his-,"

"We are his biological aunt and uncle, Azula and Iroh Uzumaki and on behalf of our clan we wish for you to allow him to come to the Pride village, and don't let the name confuse you Hokage-sama, it is merely to honor our lion friends." Tsunade couldn't help but nod her head to that statement.

"But why are you here now, and not when he needed you the most, like when he was a child and had no to love him?" Tsunade knew that they meant well but the fact that they didn't come to him when he needed them the most was what was making her upset at the moment. After Jiraiya's death, Tsunade took it upon herself to sit down and talk about anything and everything about his life and why everything had happened and to assure him that Jiraiya didn't die in vain. It was then that she realized Naruto had a lot to talk about, including his harsh and cruel childhood. Tsunade had made a mental note to find the original owner of the orphanage that Naruto had stayed at and have a nice long talk about his treatment of the children there. Naruto wasn't the only kid that was abused in that place and found out that TenTen was one of the children that suffered as well.

"I can sense that you are upset, but you must understand, my family and I were separated and were trying our best to find eachother My brother and I were only Genins at the time and we were instructed to stay with the other children of our village and many of the lion cubs that were too young to defend themselves." Iroh spoke to the Hokage hoping that she would understand, which she did a little but not by much.

"Okay I can understand that in times of war it gets chaotic, but why now do you come for him and believe me the next answer I hear had better be a good one cause lions or no lions, I will personally throw you both out of this village and send your overgrown house cats to the zoo!" Tsunade was close to losing her temper and the closest thing that she could take her anger out on was these two right in front of her.

"Ma'am the reason why we come now is because to help prevent an invasion from the Sound village on your village and our village as well."

Tsunade was shocked, so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

"Please Naruto is the only one that can help us, and prevent this war from claiming any lives."

"But why now?" Tsunade was trying her best to stall as long as she could but she was failing terribly and it now that she wished that Sakura was back from her mission.

"Please its what the family wants and its what our dear sister would have wanted, to bring the whole family back together as one instead of a divided house. Its not just for our sake its for him as well." Tsunade knew things were about to get uncomfortable and uneasy, but she listened anyway.

"Please Lady Hokage, just let us have a few moments with him to explain everything. When I met him earlier I didn't tell him I was his aunt for few of shock, but he needs to know about everything. My family and I want to make up for all the years he wasn't with us and visa versa. Please Lady Hokage I give you my family's word on the manes of our lions that we won't do anything to hurt him." Azula was near pleading with Tsunade and hoped that the Lady Hokage would allow their family to make amends.

*To be continued*

* So will Tsunade let Azula and Iroh make up for the years that they were away from Naruto and will Naruto meet the family that he has always longed for and what is the Sound village planning. And when the heck is Sasuke going to make an appearance in this story. Well to get the answers to all these questions you'll have to wait until the next chapter.*

AN/ for those of you that are probably wondering what the deal with the lions is, well let's just say that I was watching some fan art videos on YouTube that were based on the Lion King and well the idea just stuck with me. I plan on making this have quite a few lemons in this story, but I need some help. I need a co-writer to help with the lemons for some if not all the lemons, cause I'm going to be honest, I stink at making lemons. All I ask is that you allow me to write the outline for the story and I would send them to you and I would add your lemon to my chapter. I would of course give credit where credit would be due and put the author of lemon in the chapter and then my name would follow. Please let me know what you all think and until next time Ja Ne!!!.
