Mist and Leaf Village's Politics Chapter 1: New person to care about
I had adopted Politics in the Mist by Tobi wants a cookie and he said I can use the first six chapters to make my first one. I have some things and change some things.
The council was shifting in their chairs nervously, this was bad, really bad. They had made this arrangement before the chunin exams, before Jiraiya had taken the boy as an apprentice, before he had convinced Tsunade to come back. Mei Terumi had taken over as Mizukage, the bloodline pruge had been stopped, and the Mist wanted to form an alliance with the Leaf. They wanted a political marriage, and the council was happy to let young Naruto Uzumaki go to the Mist, at least they were before. Now they could see they had given up a very powerful shinobi, one who was completely loyal to them, and they couldn't get him back without destroying the alliance with the Mist.
Tsunade was furious, "I come back to the Leaf, and the first thing I find out is you're sending the kid away who convinced me to come here?"
A pink hair woman started to speak, "Were incredibly sorry, we had no idea what we were doing at the time, if we had know what the boy could do, we never would have sent them away."
Tsunade released killer intent at the council that made even the experienced ninja flinch, "So you only regret now that you find out he's useful to you? You're marrying a 15 year old to a 17 year old (I changed the ages a bit to make it more believable) for crying out loud."
"There's nothing we can do about it now, he's going to marry the woman whether we like it or not. What's done is done, I say we take comfort in the fact that they will be pleased with who we chose, and make sure the bo at least enjoys being married." Said the war hawk know as Danzo.
Tsunade soften slightly at that, "On that much you're right, we need to make sure Naruto's happy in the Mist, both for the political and personal reasons. I trust we're going to make him a chunin, it would be kind of insult if we sent the Mizukage a genin"
A council member stepped up, "Of course, he will be given the rank of chunin, he performed fantastically in the exams, and even managed to stop the Kazekage's son for destroying the village,"
Tsunade nodded "I've met Mei Terumi before, Naruto will definitely be happy with her looks, not that he's that shallow, she's a very nice person from what I've seen of her, and she's also a very powerful shinobi, I guess if he was gonna marry someone I'm glad it was her,"
The council nodded, taking a small amount of comfort in the fact that Naruto would be marrying someone that would make him the envy of any man. Beautiful, kind, and powerful to boot, the complete package.
Mei Terumi was on her way to the hidden Leaf, her advisor Ao and body guard Chojuro by her side, "Mizukage-sama, I do hope you're not too angry with us for forcing this marriage on you, from what I've heard you're marrying a fine young man," Ao told her.
The Mizukage smiled, "No, I realize it was a necessary sacrifice, and if he really did pass the chunin exams as a rookie then he must be a good shinobi, hopefully he's cute too," Mei knew she herself was a beautiful women, with long auburn hair, perfect curves, and full lips, she had most the men in the mist drooling over her.
"You're nervous that he's a jinjuriki are you, we've had a bad past with them after all?" Ao and Chojuroasked.
Mei laughed, "One bad jinjuriki doesn't mean they all are, besides it looks like Yagru may have been under someone elses influence. The message said he had had a bit of a rough childhood, maybe we can relate to one another."
Ao nodded, he hoped this would go well, Mei was almost like a daughter to him, he prayed she ended up happy.
"Ma...Married" Naruto asked dumbfounded. Tsunade had just explained the whole situation to him, the marriage, him being transferred to the Mist, his everything.
Tsunade gave him a soft smile, "Naruto I know you weren't expecting this, but we've done are best to make sure this is a good thing for you. I can personally tell you Mei is beautiful, kind, and a damn good shinobi."
Naruto frowned, "But I have to leave the village, I'll never be Hokage, I'll barely ever see my friends…"
Tsunade stopped him "You'll be the ambassador to the Leaf, so you'll be in the village and see your friends plenty. As for being Hokage, I've got something that may be a small consolation for that."
Naruto was curious, what could make up for losing his dream? Tsunade pulled out a small scroll and gave it to him. "Your father want us to give this to you when you made chunin."
Naruto's eyes went wide, his father, they knew who his father was, this was awesome. He open the scroll and started to read.
Naruto,
If you're reading this then I'm dead and so is your mother. I've instructed Jiraiya and the old man not to tell you until you make chunin, and even then you can't tell anyone. Son, I'm Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, and I have a lot of enemies, particularly in Iwa, who would stop at nothing to kill you if they found out. I would have liked to have had Jiraiya adopte you, but with his spy network I doubt that could happen. If your mother was Kushina Uzumaki, holder of the Kyuubi, and if she's dead also, odds are the fox was sealed inside of you. I'm sorry to have put that burden on you, but I have faith you can protect the village even better than your mother did. Before I died Jiraiya told me that he believed I would be the one who would bring peace to the world, but if I'm dead then I can't to that, so I'm counting on you to. As Hokage my duty was to protect this village, and if peace was brought to the world then village would truly be safe. I want you to bring peace to the world Naruto, something even I as Hokage couldn't do.I love you and have complete faith in you.
Your father, Minato Namikaze
Naruto couldn't believe what he had just read, "He really thought I would be the one to bring peace to the shinobi world...screw Hokage this is way better!"
Tsunade laughed, Naruto still had a chance to be happy, to achieve something great. "Don't tell anyone about this alright, Iwa would send their whole army after you. Also you'll be getting complete access to the Namikaze fortune which is quite large, and to all of his and your mother's scrolls on jutsu. Last but not least, I've got a picture of the two of them on the day they found out about you, as you can see they were quite happy to be having you."
Naruto smiled and took the picture. She was right they were both very happy, and he had feeling he would be now too. He had new dream, and family, things were really starting to look up for him...
" I guess, there no point in hinding this any more." said Naruto as he put his hands togethere.
"Kai" Naruto said before his hair grew couple of inches, he grew a foot and two inches, and he looks more clothes turn into black and orange anbu clothes.
"Why were you hinding your trueself?" ask Tsunade.
"I was train by the old man, and Orochimaru. Orochimaru train me as he did experiments on me until the old man found out that I been getting experiment on so he follow me to where Orchimaru would have me meet him so I can escape of course and If I had reveal my true self and shrength then I would breaking another law. I promise to not reveal myself until I am a chunin because people would try to have me banned. He made a law that once I am a chunin I can't get banned because I got the nine tails, he try to get it where I don't have to be a ninja but they said I will never become a chunin so thats why he made that law ."said Naruto before he headout.
Naruto was walking towards the hospital nervously to see his teammates, he was wearing his new chunin vest with pride, when he stopped at the door trying to think of a way to tell his teammates all of this. He was the one getting married and he could barely process it. Naruto chose winging it as his best option, seeing as how it had always worked before. He took a deep breath and opened the door, "hey guys, how's it going?"
Sakura went to yell at the young jinjuriki, "Naruto you baka, you...almost woke up...Sasuke..." She stopped when she noticed the chuunin vest he was wearing, "You made chunin?, Why do you look different?"
"Yeah, but that's kinda just the tip of the iceberg," Naruto was cut of by the now awake Sasuke before he could finish.
"The dobe made chunin, how?" The bedridden boy screamed.
Kakashi decide to speak up, "Sasuke we should be happy for him, no need to yell. Obviously the council felt he did well enough to be promoted. Well done Naruto, I also heard Jiraiya-San is training you, very impressive." He finished with one of his classic eye smiles.
"Hn, congratulations... I'm going for walk, need to clear my head," Sasuke said getting out of his hospital bed. He walked out giving Naruto and Sakura a slight shove as he left, much to the pink hair girls dismay.
"Naruto, why did you have to come in here flaunting your vest like that, you upset Sasuke? Well I guess it's not really your fault. Congratulations." Sakura finished half heartedly.
"Guys sit down we have a lot to talk about..." Naruto spent about ten minutes telling them everything, other than his heritage, and waited nervously for a response.
Kakashi was the first to speak, "Well that's great Naruto, although I don't know what the Leaf will do without its favorite knucklehead ninja." He told his student, trying to hide the fact that he would really miss the boy. Naruto had brought some light back into his life, and he was sad he was going to lose that.
"Naruto I'm so sorry, you come in here with great news and all I do is yell at you. I'm gonna miss you a lot and I'm sure Sasuke will too. We were finally starting to become a real team." Sakura told him with a sad smile. She walked up and gave the boy a small hug which the boy returned, very surprised.
"Thanks Sakura-chan, that means a lot to me. We're gonna go down and meet my future wife in about an hour, can round up everybody else so I see them?" Naruto asked.
"Of course, I'll make sure Sasuke is there too. How long to have before you to the Mist?" Sakura asked with a smile.
"About four months," Naruto responded.
"Great, we'll make sure it's the best four months you'll ever had." She said running out of the room happily.
Naruto stood in the doorway confused, "I don't get it, usually she's all mad and tries to hit me, but she got all nice and even gave me hug, what's up with that?"
Kakashi laughed "Women are confusing creatures Naruto, very confusing creatures. Kinda funny that the most wonderful thing in the world belongs to the most confusing things in the world."
"Whats the most wonderful thing in the world?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi smiled, "You'll find out on your wedding night,"
The three from the Mist, Chojuro,Ao and Mei, stopped at the clearing in the forest, they had been told to wait for someone to come and escort them the rest of the way. Not that they really needed it, it was more of a political gesture than anything.
"Jiraiya of the Sannin is supposed to be the one meeting us here, I think you two have met before," Ao told her.
Mei scowled at the memory of the old pervert, "Oh yeah we met all right, and when see him, I'm gonna show him just what happens to people who peep on Mei Terumi,"
Ao cringed, only a few men had been stupid enough to peep on Mei, and they ended up burns in the worst possible locations. Needless to say it wasn't pretty, "Can at least hold off till we get to the village?"
Mei frowned, "We'll see,"
Just as she spoke, the white hair pervert appeared, Mei immediately got into position to burn the Sannin to kingdom come, but he cut her off, "Look, I know you probably dislike me, but you can beat the crap outta me after I've told everything you need to know about your future husband."
Mei hesitated but nodded, a little surprised by his seriousness. Jiraiya handed her a large bag and began to speak, "In that bag is all of his father's scrolls and the Uzumaki scrolls on sealing and jutsu, mainly on his wood, storm, ice, lava, magnet, dust since that's his bloodline elements, also there's some other elements scrolls in there, he has a slight affinatiny in each, also I've put all of the things he should be training on with the toads while I'm away. Finally, I've placed a booklet in there with all of my current knowledge on the Akatsuki in it,"
Mei was trying to take in everything she was being told, "wait father, I thought he was an orphan, and what's the Akatsuki?"
Jiraiya sighed, "the Akatsuki are an organization trying to obtain the tailed-beasts, for some unknown reason, we believe they may have had something to do with the situation with the last Mizukage, and as for his parents, that should be explained to you by Naruto, not me,"
Mei nodded, processing everything he had just told her, "So what's he like?"
Jiraiya smiled as he thought of his latest student, "He can come of a little brash and loud, but once you get to know him you can't help but love the kid. He'd do anything for his friends, and I've never seen the kid give up on anything the whole time I've know him, if he can't do something small he just moves on to something bigger. He's the most amazing kid I've ever seen, and you're lucky to be marrying him."
Mei smiled and rose her eyebrow slightly, "You really care about him, don't you?"
Jiraiya laughed, "I may be a super pervert, but when it comes to those I care about, I'd go to the ends of the earth for them, just like Naruto would," Jiraiya got a slight frown on his face, "If anyone asks we never had this conversation, I've got an image to uphold. Tell them I asked you to tell me how your first time with Naruto goes...actually that might be good for,"
He was cut off immediately by Mei, "I've only just decided not to melt your 'little friend', don't make me change my mind,"
"Forehead girl, what's all this about? What did you have to get all of us together for?" Ino asked.
"I too would like an explanation of your urgency," Shino said, emotionless as ever.
"Troublesome, I was really enjoying watching the clouds. I'm not going to be able to do that as much now that I'm a chunin you know." Shikamaru complained.
"Actually Shikamaru, that's part of the reason I called you guys here, Naruto made chunin too, but that's not even the half of it, you guys might wanna sit down for this." Sakura told them.
She had gathered all of the rookie nine and there sensei's, other than Naruto and Kakashi, also Team Guy and Iruka were there. All of them raised an eyebrow at what the girl was saying. A few of them smiled when they heard about Naruto making chunin, Lee of course praised Narutos 'power of youth'. Once she finished telling them about the marriage and the transfer the smiles faded. None of them really wanted to see Naruto go, Hinata was on the verge of tears.
Sakura decided to end the silence, "guys I need your help. I want to make Naruto's last four months here as good as it can be."
Ino raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakura, "No offense forehead girl, but since when did you care about Naruto. I always thought you hated him?"
Sakura frowned and looked at the ground, "I never hated Naruto, to be honest his constant asking me out made me feel pretty, and all his encouragement actually made me believe I could become a real ninja. This might sound kinda selfish, but I want Naruto to remember me doing something other than hitting him."
Ino looked at her old friend and rival and smiled, "Alright, if it's that important to you, we'll help you. First off who do we have bringing this Mei girl over here?"
"When I asked lady Tsunade she said Jiraiya was going to get her," Sakura didn't get a chance to finish as Kurenai cut her off.
"WHAT! Lady Tsunade sent that pervert to go get her, no way, me and one of the girls well go see her and make sure Jiraiya didn't try anything on her," Kurenai yelled, she hated perverts, and while she respected Jiraiya, he was definitely a pervert, and was not to be trusted around a woman as far as she was concerned, "Hinata would you like to come along?"
Hinata quickly nodded, she want to meet the person who was stealing her Naruto. If she couldn't be the one to make him happy, she sure as hell would see to it Mei did, Mizukage or not. The others went to get everything else ready, Mei would be there in about 20 to 30 minutes, which wasn't much time, and they all had a few things they wanted to get ready for Naruto and his soon to be bride.
"What the fuck, that little shit is marrying that hot piece of ass, damn some people get all the fucken luck," Hidan, the immortal of the Akasutski whined. The Ten members of the Akatsuki were gathered to discuss the status of the in captured tailed-beasts.
"Wow, five curse words in one sentence, might be a new record for you," Deidara the art crazed explosives expert laughed.
"Actually, Hidan's record is 8 swear words in one sentence," Said a man who was wearing an orange mask.
Deidara scowled, "Tobi get out of here, you're not even an official member."
"But Tobi hasn't gotten a cookie," Tobi whined.
Konan, the blue haired second in command of the Akatsuki, reached in her cloak and handed him a cookie, "hear you go Tobi, now by a good boy and run off."
"Awesome, thanks Konan-chan" Tobi reapplied running out of the room.
"Man, I fell bad for whoever gets him as a partner," Deidara muttered.
"With his new relationship to the Mizukage, it would be best to wait to wait to go after him. I trust you all know your new assignments." The leader of the Akatsuki, know as Pain told them.
They all nodded, "Alright head out, you know what to do."
"Sorry about them sticking you with the pervert," Kerunai told the Mizukage. They had gotten to her about five minutes ago, they were set to reach the leaf in about ten minutes.
"It's ok, he actually wasn't too bad, for the most part anyway," Mei responded with a smile, she had ended up slapping Jiraiya once, but that was the worst of it.
Hinata, who had been silent up to this point, finally got the courage to speak, "You're going to make Naruto happy aren't you?" She asked quickly.
Mei was surprised at the question "Of course, why do you asked?"
Hinata looked down, "he's ver-ry important to m-me." She told her, she was starting to lose control of her stutter.
Mei smiled, starting to understand how she felt about the boy, "That's good, how about you tell me all about him on the rest of the way there?"
Hinata gave a small smile, she was more than happy to talk about Naruto. Mei listened happily learning more about her soon to be husband.
Naruto stood nervously at the gate, Mei was due to arrive at any moment, and several of his friends went out to grab him something, Ino had gotten him different clothes, as she refused for Naruto to meet Mei wearing so much orange. It was a simple long sleeve black shirt, his chunin vest, and black pants. Ino also sent Choji and Shikamaru to get flowers from her parents shop. Anko had came over when she heard about Naruto's marriage, she had come to like the boy after the chunin exams, and gave him a black trench coat with the Uzumaki swirl on the back. Finally, Kiba gave him the fang of a past Inuzuka dog, a sign of major respect and a way to show everyone in the Mist he was backed by the Inuzuka clan, it was connect to a small chain around his neck. He was visibly sweating, Iruka put a hand on his shoulder and whispered to him, "Naruto relax, we're all right behind you. She's gonna love you just like we do, it'll go great." Naruto took a deep breath and looked out to see Mei walking up towards the gate...
Naruto was speechless as he looked at his soon to be wife. She was incredibly beautiful, truly breathtaking, perfect curves, auburn hair, amazing green eyes, and a walk that just screamed sexy. "Wow….just...wow," He stuttered.
Mei smiled, happy to see him completely under her spell already, "Thanks, you're pretty cute yourself," she wasn't kidding, the whisker marks were very exotic, and he had a very muscular frame for someone his age.
Naruto shook his head and brought himself out of his stupor and brought up the flowers, "Sorry, these are for you, it's very nice to meet you… this is gonna sound kinda stupid, but how do I greet you, do we shake hands, hug, what? I'm not really used to this kinda thing."
Mei brought the flowers to her face and smelled them, they had a fantastic aroma. She gave a small laugh at Naruto's question, "I think a hug would be the best choice, a handshake is far too formal,"
Naruto smiled and walked up to the woman, who quickly enveloped him in a hug, pressing his face in her cleavage for added effect. The blonde blushed heavily and his friends laughed behind him, Anko was the first to speak, "Wow gaki, if your face got any redder you'd match the Mizukages hair, by the way is that colored, or do the curtains match the drapes?"
Everyone's jaw hit the floor, only Anko would ask the Mizukage a question like that. Mei just smirked, "Sorry, that's for me to know, and Naruto to find out,"
Naruto nearly passed out after hearing that, Anko just laughed, "I think you and I will get along just fine,"
All of Naruto's friends began to to ask questions of their own, but only Sasuke's managed to get through, "You know you're marrying the dead last of the academy don't you?"
"Sasuke!" Kakashi snapped.
Mei just smirked, "Funny, it seems he's wearing a chunin vest and you're not, seems like you've been surpassed by my soon to be husband if you ask me."
Kiba fell on the ground laughing, "dude, she so just told you. Hot and funny, lucky you huh Naruto?"
They were all about to try and start asking questions again but they were cut off by Naruto, "Look, I know you guys want to get to know Mei, but I really need to take her to see the old lady, and I'd like to at least try to get to know her a bit on the way, so did you guys mind?"
They all got the idea and nodded, Naruto looked back at Mei and offered her his arm, "Shall we head out," Naruto asked "Thank you Iruka-sensei for the teaching me how to be polite towards a woman" Naruto thought. Mei smiled and took his arm and they began to walk to the Hokage's office.
Naruto decided to get the biggest question on his mind taken care of first, "So you know about the fox already," Mei nodded, "do you...ya know... are you,"
Mei stopped him with her hand, "Naruto, I don't hate you, heck I've just met you. If anything I already have a great impression of you, after all you had that many people cared enough to support you with all this."
Naruto smiled "talk about a feeling a weight lefties of your shoulder. Oh yeah, pervy sage didn't try anything on you did he?"
Mei shook her head, "no, he was actually pretty nice, even gave me a some scrolls for you,"
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "why'd he give them to you?"
"Just because you have a scroll doesn't mean you can use it, we have to have someone who knows something about that element, sealing, or one of the toads for the toads scrolls, to teach how to understand what's inside. I'm the only one who can get those scrolls into the Mist and find you teachers without them confiscating the scrolls. By the way, Jiraiya mentioned something about your father, but I had heard you were an orphan, care to explain?" Mei asked him.
Naruto nodded, "we're almost to the homages office, we should probably wait till we get there before I explain it."
Reluctantly, Mei agreed, as much as her curiosity was peaked, she supposed she could wait a bit longer.
Sasuke was busy at the training grounds, destroying trees with fireballs and grumbling to himself. He was beyond angry, how dare that damn woman imply he was weak, did she know who he was? It was insulting being looked down on like that, let alone around the others.
He continued to grumbled when Kakashi walked up to him, "Care to explain what that whole thing back there was all about?" Kakashi asked in his usual nonchalant tone.
Sasuke scoffed, "humph, I was just giving her the facts, she's marrying the dead last isn't she?"
Kakashi didn't look up from his 'Icha Icha', "that's funny, didn't he save your life twice during the chunin exam?"
Sasuke scowled, "so what if he did, who cares? He just abbonedoned us the moment he got any good. All if the sudden he gets all these friends and now he's just leaving, you said it yourself, he's lower than trash now. Forget him, who needs him? I don't, I don't need anyone!" Sasuke screamed.
Kakashi looked up from his book, "he's not trash Sasuke, he didn't choose to leave, he's doing it for the village...wait a minute this is about you isn't it. You don't want to admit you're gonna miss him."
"No I'm not, he's just gotten to big of a head," Sasuke snapped.
Kakashi sighed, "Sasuke, why do you think it's not ok to miss him? Naruto told me you were only he felt he could relate to growing up, and something tells me you feel the same. He's been your rival for years now, you saved his life in the Wave, and he saved your from Gaara. What, did seeing Itachi again just magically turn back to pain in the ass we met on the first day?"
"SHUT UP! You want me to say it, fine! I'm gonna miss Naruto! Are you happy now?" Sasuke screamed.
"Yup, that all I needed, see ya later," Kakashi said looking back down at his book.
Sasuke just stood there dumbfounded, "Bastard tricked me," he muttered.
Tsunade had the Uchiha on her mind as well, she was in the middle reading all of the classified documents she needed to be filled in on now that she was Hokage and she had just began to read up on some of the secrets of the Uchiha clan, and she was shocked as she began to read the file on the massacre. She was snapped out of her reading when someone knocked on her door, she put the scroll away and yelled, "come in."
Naruto walked in, his arm hooked with Mei's, "Hey Baa-chan, how's it going?"
Mei looked shocked, "you call the legendary Sannin, Pervy Sage, and Baa-chan? You must have a death wish."
Tsunade had a tick mark on her forehead, "I believe he does."
Naruto gave his classic foxy grin and scratched the back of his head, "how else would you know it was me? Anyway, I brought Mei here to fill her in on everything she doesn't know yet. We should probably start with my dad she's pretty curious about that."
Mei nodded, "yes, I really would like to know what's going on with the Naruto's father"
Tsunade's face got serious, "you can't repeat what I'm about to tell you to anyone, it would put you, Naruto, and many others in danger."
Mei couldn't possibly have been more curious, "alright, will you please just tell me already?"
Naruto looked at Mei, "My father was 'The Yellow Flash', Minato Namikaze."
Mei was immediately silent, completely shocked, "wow...well that would explain why you were chosen to contain the Kyuubi, and I'm guessing Iwa is who you don't want to find out."
Naruto spoke up once again, "what about the Akatsuki, how much do you know about them?"
"Only what was in the scroll Jiraiya gave me," Mei told him.
Tsunade frowned, "almost forgot about them. That reminds me, Naruto, we need to get you training again. The old pervert told me, he wanted you to start with the scrolls that he gave Mei, so I'm going to have Asuma start training you with wind chakra. Kakashi train you in lightning, earth, water, and fire. I will training you in yin, yang, yin-yang and some other things some. Boar here will training you in wood."
"I can train him in lava release." said Mei.
" Kurenai will train you in genjutsu, Guy will train you in different taijutsu and weapons, jiraiya will train you in some other things.
"Makes sense, when do we start?" He asked.
"In about a week, we wanted to give you a little time to rest, also Asuma want to track down a chakra blade strong enough to contain demon chakra, he was planning on teaching you some wind style kinjutsu." Tsunade replied.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "chakra blade, is that like the one that Kisame guy used?"
Mei decided to awnsure that one, "yes, but they don't usually look like that, Samehada is unique, they usually just look like normal metal, you can only tell the difference when you channel chakra in it. Is Kisame the only Mist ninja you've ever met?"
Naruto shook his head, "no I meet one the other swordsman, Zabuza, and his apprentice Haku, she had some kind of ice bloodline."
"You met Zabuza, is he still alive?" Mei asked.
"No they're both dead, to bad, once they stopped trying to kill us they were kinda nice," Naruto told her, "we marked their graves with his sword."
Mei smiled, "problem solved Tsunade-San, I can send someone to revive the blade and Naruto can use that, it's a chakra blade, and a blade that will made can definitely contain the Kyuubi's chakra."
Naruto raised an eyebrow again, "you really think I'm worthy to wield one of the seven great blades, I'm not even sure I could lift it?"
Mei laughed, "trust me Naruto-kun, I'm sure you'll be able to use it quite well."
Naruto blushed at the new suffix, "thanks Mei-chan."
Tsunade nodded, "sounds good, well get everything ready, you just keep yourself in shape."
"Also Naruto-kun, I've got something to teach you as well." Mei told him
"What's that?" He asked.
"We'll Naruto-kun, I think I'm pretty safe in guessing you're a virgin, and I am too, I think we should get used to being intimate with one another before the honeymoon. We won't being going all the way until the wedding night, but I will be teaching you few fun things leading up to that," Said Mei.
Naruto had a small trickle of blood coming for his nose. He nodded with a very big blush on his face, causing Mei to laugh, she could tell this was gonna be fun.
Mei and Naruto returned from the tower to find that everyone of Naruto's had waited so that they could properly meet her. They all questioned the young Mizukage, Ino asked how she kept herself looking so good, Kiba asked if she was a dog or cat person, Lee asked how bright her flames of youth were, and plenty of other questions.
Asuma's question was the first one that was actually relevant, "so, what is it that makes you kage-level?"
Mei smirked, she was hoping someone would ask that, "I've got two bloodlines, lava release and boil release, both of which I mastered."
Everyone looked in awe, to have mastered two bloodlines was quite impressive. Sakura spoke up next, "no offense, but doesn't that mean you've peaked?"
Mei smirked, "you'd think but no, I've mastered everything known about my bloodlines, but that doesn't mean I can't expand on them."
Naruto looked at the clock and then back at his friends, "this has been fun and all, but we need to go to the new apartment Baachan set up for us for the four months," They all nodded and waved goodbye.
"I can't believe see looks that good without dieting," Ino whined.
"I'm just glad she's a dog person," said Kiba.
The new apartment was nice, not extravagant but nice. Naruto changed into a orange pair of shorts and black shirt, he decided to ask Mei about the sleeping arrangements, she was changing in the bathroom, "Mei, who's gonna sleep where tonight?"
Mei walked out and Naruto's jaw hit the floor, she was wearing a blue nightgown showing off plenty of her figure, mainly her long legs and ample chest, "we're going to sleep in the same bed silly." She said with a smile.
Naruto blushed but nodded and went to lay down in the master bedroom. Mei laid down next to him and laughed, "don't you like sleeping next to me?"
"Of course I do it's just...look I've never even kissed a girl, so this is kinda new to me," Naruto told her.
Mei gave a playful pout, "oh no, well don't you worry, I'll give you plenty of affection, you'll get used to it real fast," she said planting a kiss on his cheek and lying down on her pillow. Naruto was shocked, but smiled soon, this marriage thing was starting to have it's perks...
The next week went by pretty fast for Naruto. He had been keeping in shape by training with Guy, which was ridiculously hard, but did give him a chance to have him help refine his taijutsu, so it all worked out. He continued to talk with Mei, getting closer with her every day. They discovered they had a very similar past, her with the bloodline purge, and him with the Kyuubi being sealed inside of him. Mei continued to embarrass Naruto when they slept in the same bed, cuddling with him and giving him kisses on the cheek, but Naruto didn't really mind all that much, actually he really enjoyed it. Sakura had done her best to be a better friend to Naruto, she even came to visit him and Mei in their apartment. Sasuke had admitted to himself that he was going to miss his rival, but he still refused to admit it to Naruto, though he did make a better effort to be a little nicer to the blonde, he now asked for spares rather than order them, and he had actually congratulated Naruto and Mei on their so to be wedding. The week was one of the best Naruto could remember.
The day came that Naruto was set to start learning with Asuma, and Mei was currently on her way to Team Guy's training ground to give him Kubikiribōchō, his new swords once wielded by Zabuza. It was still early when the blade came, so Mei new Naruto would be training with Guy, she decided to surprise him and bring him the sword herself. Naruto was panting heavily when she arrived, "Oh...hey...Mei-Chan...what are...you doing...here," he panted.
Mei smiled, "The Kubikiribōchō came, I thought I would bring it to you. You start your elemental training today, so you'll probably need it," She unselthed the massive blade and hand it to Naruto," Be careful, you may be strong but you can't properly lift the blade until you channel chakra into it, and you shouldn't do that till Asuma shows you how."
Naruto looked at it wide eyed, it was just as amazing as he remembered it. He could barely lift it, but something felt right about having it in his hands. "Amazing…" he murmured.
Tenten, who had also been training with guy, looked at blade like a child looks at a new toy, "Oh my gosh, the Kubikiribōchō, it's amazing, I can't believe I'm really seeing it in person," She continued to stare and the blade, then at the person holding it and blushed, she had a thing for weapons, which didn't go unnoticed by Mei.
"Naruto we should head out, we have just enough time to get there, and miss Tenten, if you would stop eyeing his 'sword' please," she muttered.
Tenten blushed and nodded, Naruto looked a little confused, but followed. As they were walking he asked, "what's up Mei-chan, we had plenty of time…" Naruto didn't get to finish as Mei slammed her lips into his, Naruto's eyes rolled into the back of his head at his first kiss. When she stopped he slowing got his thoughts to come back to him. "Not that I'm complaining, but what was that about?"
Mei blushed lightly, "Naruto-kun, I'm a rather jealous person, and seeing that little weapon girl eyeing you up, I just felt the need to remind you who you're marrying."
Naruto was confused again, "Mei-chan, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, you're really nice, and funny too...also, I may not be experienced, but you're definitely a good kisser. Why would I do anything to make you mad, you're awesome!"
Mei smiled widely, "Good, I'm glad you think so," She leaned forward and smiled seductively, it had been a good kiss, "if you really feel that way, we have about 15 minutes before we have to see Asuma, that leaves 10 minutes all to ourselves, shall we enjoy them?"
Naruto smiled and nodded, Mei immediately leaned in and they picked up where they left off, when Mei slipped her in her tongue, he nearly passed out…"
Asuma looked up to see Naruto running his way, he was about 5 minutes late and Asuma didn't need to wonder why. Asuma smirked, "Naruto, you have a little of Mei's lipstick on your cheek."
Naruto turned the cooler of a tomato and wiped it off, "oh sorry...can we just get started...and maybe not mention this to anyone?"
Asuma laughed, "I would think you'd be proud of that, but I guess you're just a shy kid, fine I wont tell anyone. I see you brought the sword."
Naruto drew Kubikiribōchō and nodded ,"so what do we do first?"
"First, try channeling chakra into it, as little as you can, I want see how Kubikiribōchō handles the Kyuubi's chakra and it will also show me how much chakra control you have and how long you have before you can fight with your wind chakra properly," Asuma told him.
Naruto started channeling chakra into blade, trying to use as little as possible, the blade bagan glow blue with a slightly red tint. He was trying not to use much chakra but the blade still shook in his hands. He stopped and Asuma began to speak, "well it the chakra just fine, but we're going to have to improve your control quite a bit, luckily with your shadow clones we can cut the time down quite a lot, you'll probably be able to start learning wind jutsu,"
Naruto was excited at that, "awesome, what do I do first?"
"You take a leaf and try to cut it in half with your wind chakra, make as many clones as you can and have them all do the same thing, I'll be keeping an eye on you and give you tips, when were done we'll have you disperse the clones one by one so that you don't pass out from information overload," Asuma told him.
Naruto created as many clones as he could and got started...
Naruto got back to the apartment and fell down on the bed, exhausted. Mei walked in and laughed, "rough day Naruto-kun?"
Naruto sighed, "that was most training I've ever done in one day, even when I trained with perevy sage for the Chunin Exams."
"How far have you gotten with the lead cutting exercise?" Mei ask Naruto.
"About a third of the way up the leaf, you'd think anyone could teach it, but there's a lot of little trick you have to be a wind user to understand, Asuma-sensei is a really good teacher," Naruto told her.
Mei's eyes got a little wide, "wow in just one day, that's pretty impressive."
Naruto smirked at the praise, "we'll the shadow clones helped, once I dispersed them it got a lot easier. I used as many clones as I could, I lost count when I got up to 300, and I was only half way there."
Mei's eyes got VERY wide at that, "you made that many clones, I knew had large chakra reserves, but wow!"
Naruto laughed loudly, "yeah, between being an Uzumaki and having the Kyuubi's chakra filtered into me, my reserves are pretty big, they make training easier, but chakra control harder, but I learn to use it to my advantage."
Mei smiled, "you train very hard."
Naruto's face got serious, "I have to, I've got to protect everyone important to me, including you, and I can't let my Dad down. He died believing I would be the one bring peace to the world, and I'm going to."
Mei layed down next to him, "I know you will, and I'm glad you think of me as important enough to protect."
He smiled and they shared a brief kiss, they soon drifted off to sleep, resting to get ready for the next day...
Tsunade couldn't believe what she reading, couldn't believe some this insane. The Uchiha massacre was just a cover, a story made up to cover for the Uchiha trying to overthrow the village, even worse, things hadn't gone as planned, the civilians and children were supposed to live, Itachi hadn't intended on killing them, someone had interfered and killed everyone Itachi didn't. Itachi left the village, hoping he would someday be finished by his brother, the one person he could never bring himself to kill, but until that time he was a spy for Jiraya in the Akatsuki. Itachi couldn't do much without being found out, but something was better than nothing. Tsunade sighed and placed the scroll back in the Hokage library in the vault, next to Naruto's new scrolls. She left feeling rather sick to her stomach, the life of a ninja was a hard thing to bare a times.
Naruto woke and smiled at the sight of Mei next to him, he had grown to really enjoy that sight. He gave her gentle kiss on neck to wake her up, which of course she did. "Morning Naruto-kun."
Naruto continued to smile "morning Mei-chan, how are you."
"Pretty good, I've been thinking about who I'm going to have as my bridesmaids, any thought to your groomsmen?" Mei asked.
Naruto frowned, "no not really, I'm gonna ask Sasuke to be my best man, doubt he'll accept."
Mei nodded, "remember you have to pick two from the Leaf and two from the Mist, you can pick the two from the Mist when we get there, we won't be married for a month after."
"Alright, who are gonna be your two from the Leaf?" Naruto asked.
Mei laughed, "I thought about Anko, but they'd never let me do that, still she'll be fun at the reception. I pick Sakura and Hinata, oh and I put Ino in charge of flowers so she doesn't complain."
"Good, I'm gonna go get a shower and find Sasuke before I have to start training, she you in a bit," Naruto said getting out of bed.
"Alright, see you soon" Mei rolled over and fell back asleep.
Sasuke was busy training when Naruto walked up, "hey Sasuke, you got minute?"
"I guess, what do need?" Sasuke asked
Naruto smiled, his tone wasn't his usual one that said 'I'm better than you', "we'll, I was wondering if you'd maybe be willing to be my best man at the wedding?"
Sasuke thought about it, before he would have said no outright, but now, he thought it might not be such a bad idea, he was trying to make an effort not to lose his only real friend, "sure, why not."
Naruto was shocked "alright...great, this means a lot to me. Thank you."
Sasuke smirked, "alright, just don't get all sentimental on me."
"I gotta go, see soon Sasuke," Naruto said, and ran off to the other trying grounds.
A group of four ninjas, all from the Hidden Sound, watched from a distance, they couldn't help but think things were going to get complicated.
Naruto had gotten into a bit of a rutionine for the past few weeks, train with guy in the morning, train with Asuma during the day and see Mei at night. He had just a week left in the Leaf, and things were going quite well, he could now complete the leaf cutting exercise, and could infuse kubikiribōchō with some wind chakra making it able to cut through nearly anything, combined with his new refined taijutsu and Asuma's kinjutsu, things were going quite well. He had just woken up and was getting ready to leave, Mei had woken up as well, she had a meeting with Tsunade about Naruto's transfer.
"So, what are you and Asuma going to be doing today?" She asked the blonde.
"Actually, he just finished teaching two wind moves, Great Breakthrough and Slicing AIr Palms, I was actually gonna see if I could find Tsunade when you go to see her and get out some of those wind scrolls my parents left me." Naruto replied, with a hint of pride in his voice.
Mei was happy to hear that, her future husband was getting stronger at a rate no one could believe, "great, always happy to spend a little time with you Naruto-kun."
Naruto smirked, "oh believe me I know, you want us to wait till the wedding, but if you keep doing the things that you did last night, I won't be able to control myself."
Mei laughed, "I didn't hear you complaining."
Naruto laughed in return, "no, I guess you didn't"
They walked out of the apartment and started heading towards the Hokage's office. Mei glanced back at Naruto, "you're making great progress with your wind style, but unfortunately, the Mist isn't much better off when in comes to wind user than Leaf is, and we only have one qualified seal expert, only he would be able to help you with sealing, and a kid your age who's pretty good with wind style who might be able to help you ."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Really, who are they?"
"Our seal experts name is Mizura Shinsuke, he was actually one of the only non bloodline users who was willing to help us. If he hasn't figured out a way to seal of Yugaru from his tailed-beast chakra, I don't think we could have one," said Mei with an inward look.
"You mean like the one Orochimaru used on me?" Naruto asked.
Mei shook her head, "no, Orochimaru is considered to be a butcher when sealing, other than his curse mark which is only any good thanks to using dark chakra."
Naruto nodded, "and the wind user."
"Well, he's not actually a wind user, he just can use wind, he actually about your age. He has a bloodline known as Dragon Flame Release, which due to his wind chakra being mixed in with his fire chakra, makes any fire jutsu he uses incredibly powerful. He learned how to separate them to improve his control, his name is Zawabo Kursuki." Naruto nodded again and Mei thought back to the first time she had met each of them.
Flashback (Mizura)
A 13 year old Mei stood watching the the resistance debate with interest, she may have only been 13, but she was at the level of jonin so she was allowed to sit in on the meetings. "Look, I just don't think we can trust this guy, he might be a spy for Yugaru." One of them said.
"I don't think so, Yugaru still thinks we're just a bunch of unorganized smaller groups, he hasn't shown any sign that he knows we all work together, we've been very careful about that," another spoke up.
"Then how did he know that we were all one group?" Someone asked.
"He's the best sealer in the Mist, maybe he's been using sound recording seals," one suggested.
"Then why wouldn't he tell Yugaru, why does wanna help us? I bet Yaguaru knows and sent him in to spy."
Mei was getting stressed from the loudness of the room, and decided to speak up herself,
"Well, if he was a spy, and he can use recording devices, why Yugaru even bother to send in a spy? He would just arrest us all now. We need all the help we can get, I say we take the risk."
One of the leaders spoke next, "exactly what I was thinking. We could really use a seal expert."
"If you really want to see if you can trust him, why not just ask him why he's willing to help us?" Mei suggested.
They all nodded, it was better than nothing. "Please send Mizura in."
A 15 year old with medium length black hair and hazel eyes walked into the room, "now, Mizura, please tell us why you're willing to help us when no one else without a bloodline will."
Mizura paused and began to speak, "my father was one of the executioners for the bloodline purge before he died. I went to watch him once when I was younger, I watched a woman beg for her sons life, he was only 4 months old...I watched my father stick a scalpel in his neck. I watched his mother collapse down on the ground, she didn't cry, didn't lash out for revenge, she just layed there broken. They killed her next, she didn't fight at all, when I asked him about it, his response was 'she just didn't understand it was for the good of the Mist'...if that was for the good of the Mist, then the Mist needs to change. I can't forget that look on her face, watching the life leave her eyes as she watched her son die, I just need to do something, anything to help."
Mizura was an official member of the resistance within an hour.
Flashback (Zawabo)
A 12 year old Mei was walking through the through the forest on the outskirts of the village when she heard a noise nearby. She looked around until she found the source, a small boy brown haired, fair skinned boy was crying into his arms. Mei sat down next to him and asked him, "are you ok, why are you crying?"
He looked at her with large green eyes, "I'm a monster...sniff...I killed him, I didn't mean to kill him, I swear...sniff,"
"What do you mean?" Mei asked.
"I went to do a fire jutsu my teacher had showed me, it was supposed to make a little stream thing from my mouth, he said to use just a little and I did, but it went nuts and burned really big and...and..." He buried his face in Mei's shoulder and cried.
Mei could easily figure out what happened, he was trying to use Flickering Flame Tongue and he must have had some kind of bloodline that enhanced it before the teacher could figure out what was happening. Mei just let him cry in her shoulder, she didn't mind, the poor boy needed it. He had ended up joining the resistance and learning about his bloodline, which he named Dragon Flame Release, and stayed close with Mei, who he came to view as a big sister.
"We'll we're at the tower, see you later Mei-chan," said Naruto snapping Mei out of her thoughts.
"Oh alright. See you Naruto-kun," she replied and they parted ways.
Naruto walked into Tsunade's office and looked around, he found Tsunade in the Hokages vault reading a scroll and mumbling to herself, "hey Baachan, you care if I grab some of my scrolls from here?"
Tsunade nodded, "yeah fine, just leave everything like you found it."
"Shouldn't you be leaving for that concile meeting with Mei?" Naruto asked.
Tsunade looked up startled, "damn it! I'll see you later."
She hurried from the room and failed to realize she hadn't out the scroll properly on the self and it quickly fell. Naruto shook his head and placed it back on the shelf. He glanced at it and it said Uchiha Massacre-S ranked classified.
Naruto shook his head.
"I should offer Sasuke a deal, He should know why his brother had kill his clan and left him and secretly some , I know you told me not to tell him and I keep my promise, but you didn't said anything about showing him the file." thought Naruto before he left.
Naruto looked at one of the scrolls he had grabbed, it was his fathers and was labeled 'Wind Style-Cyclone Shuriken', which would make a concentrated shuriken of wind to be thrown that would make a small impact and send waves of slicing wind at the enimie. It looked like it was meant to eventually be combined with the Rasengan. He looked it over again and got to work.
Naruto was walking home, having made a little bit of progress on the Cyclone Shuriken and saw Sasuke walking by so he flagged him down.
"Hey Sasuke," he screamed.
Sasuke looked up, "what?"
"I know it's kinda none of my business, but we would there be a document about the Uchiha massacre that was classified, I saw one in the Hokage's vault today and I'm kinda curious?" Naruto ask.
Sasuke frowned, "I don't actually know. That doesn't make any sense, what secrets could there be about that...I gotta know what's in that scroll."
"I could sneak you into the vault if you want," Naruto suggested.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "you'd do that for me? Why?"
"Well, I will like you to join my group that I made along time ago with the 3rd hokage, I need six more people, but you will have to become a missing- nin somehow so I can have you join the group and be part of the mist village since I am now part of that village. If you still want to kill your brother then you will be on your own but if you want to be with your brother then you will way I think you should find it will be up to join. It is the only way you can be with your brother as a family." said Naruto.
"You act like he is in your so call group." said Sasuke.
"You can find out, if you join until then lets get the scroll." said Naruto.
Sasuke was shaking, everything around him was blurry, nothing seemed real. He could hear Naruto's voice but it seemed like it was a mile away, "Sasuke...Sasuke...Sasuke, come on man talk to me."
Everything he knew in this world was a lie, he was just trying to get everything straight in his head. Should he still hate Itachi? Could he trust any of the leaf villagers? Who all knew about this? What in the hell was going on?
"Why wouldn't they tell me, why did Itachi have to leave, I would have given anything to have had him stay? He did all of this for me and the Leaf, so why did he have to leave, why did he make me hate him?" Sasuke asked.
"He want you to have a good life, you would have been like me, the villagers would hate you, they'd view you as the one of the traitors. Itachi needed you to hate him, he wanted you to get strong, kill him, and bring honor back to your clan," Naruto told him.
Sasuke had tears in his eyes, "I wouldn't have cared if they hated me, if I had Itachi with me it wouldn't matter. I looked up to him, he was everything I wanted to be and then the massacre happened. I thought I was all alone, I couldn't trust anyone after what Itachi did."
Naruto put a hand on his shoulder, "he did this so you could create whatever kind of life you wanted, held back by nothing. Sasuke don't waste that."
"I don't know, I always said I would rebuild my clan but...the more I learn about the more impossible that goal seems," Sasuke told him.
Naruto frowned, "bullshit, my whole life people have either viewed me as a monster that needed to be locked away or weapon to be used. I'm gonna bring peace to the ninja world, something that seems impossible, but dammit I'm gonna do it."
"So did You knew about this?" ask Sasuke.
"Yes, I promise him I won't tell you show I haven't but he haven't said anything about showing you. So what do you want to do.?" ask Naruto.
Sasuke looked at him, "I just need some time to think, just...just let me try to straighten this out in my head."
Naruto nodded, "alright, just don't don't anything rash ok."
Sasuke just looked at him and left Naruto to worry about his friend.
Sasuke was walking home, just trying to figure out what all of this meant, when he heard a rustle in the trees and felt chakra signatures near the treetop, "Whoever the you are, come out now and won't kill you."
Four people dropped in front of him, a girl with red hair and a bandana, and fat man with brown skin, a six armed man, and white haired man with green lips. They all looked kinda freaking, the one with white hair spoke up, "So, you're Lord Orochimaru's next project, interesting, you don't look like much. I'm Sakon, the red haired girl is Tayuya, the six armed one in Kidomaru, and the fat one is Jirobo"
Sasuke scowled, "What does that sneak freak want with me?"
"The fuck did you just say," Tayuya swore."
"Um...Tayuya," Jirobo began.
"Not one word fatass," She snapped.
Sakon spoke up again "enough you two, now then, Lord Orochimaru is offering you the power you seek to destroy your brother. He can make it so that the curse mark is even more powerful than it is now. All he asks in return is your loyalty, nothing less, nothing more."
"And if I refuse." Sasuke asked.
Kidomaru spoke up next, "Then I tie your ass in web and drag you back to be used for experiments."
"You act like it would be easy to take me down," Sasuke shot back.
Sakon sighed, "Look, we've made our offer, you think on it, and then, contrary to what my six arm friend said, you can come if you please, and we'll leave you alone if you don't want to, we don't want you if you're uncooperative, it'll cause more trouble than good, well be at the gate at midnight."
The four of them jumped back into the trees, and Sasuke frowned, it seemed as though all of the major decisions in his life were going to be decided on in one day.
Naruto got to the apartment found Mei sleeping, he walked up to the head and gently shook her awake, Mei groggily looked up and smiled, "hey Naruto-kun, what's up?"
"Lets just say it was very eventful...Mei-chan can I ask you something important?" Naruto asked.
Mei looked up, she could tell this was important, "Naruto-kun what is it?"
"It's just, the thing with Sasuke and all these secrets it's got me wondering...Mei-chan did you only get close to me for the sake of the Mist, or do really care about me?" Naruto looked up at her with hopeful eyes.
Mei looked surprised, "Naruto-kun, we both know that this got started because of a political marriage, but I of course I care about you. I've gotten to know you, and you're a great guy, if I'm being forced to marry someone I'm glad it's you. Naruto-kun you don't need to worry, I like you a lot, I don't know if I would call it love yet, but I need you to know that I would never play you like that."
Naruto smiled, "Thanks Mei-chan, that means a lot."
Mei got a seductive smile on her face, "Want to have a little fun before bed to ease your mind?"
"Yes please!" Naruto said and leaned forward to capture her lips in a kiss…
Naruto woke up from a knock at the door. He went to the door and open it.
"I made a deal with the Orochimaru men, I will join him after your guys wedding then I will join him. I will find five other people to join your group with me." said Sasuke.
"He will be shock to hear that you join Orochimaru but he will also be shock that you will join the group. He been a spy for leaf village but he was really a spy for me with his partner Kisame." said Naruto.
"I can't wait until we become a family again, how long you want me be with Orochimaru?" ask Sasuke.
