I Do Not Own Naruto.
I Do own my OCs that will be introduced into the story
Also this is my first fanfic, read and review *
"I'm sorry Sasuke…" Naruto's voice trailed off as he released the now limp body from his grasp. Sasuke collapsed unmoving blood pouring from the gashes covering his body his face emotionless and cold. "Tobi." The sage announced, his Nine-Tail's cloak still enveloping his body, his gaze fixed of upon the man before him. "The last of your toys is dead."
"That maybe true but…You could not possibly hope to finish me in your current state." Tobi laughed as the cloaked began to fade and Naruto slumped to the cold grass that grew into forest clearing.
*On a hill far from the battle*
"Hmmmm…." A strange man sat musing to himself, his right eye closed his left open showing it to be pale and without a pupil. "Perhaps it is time we intervene." A woman appeared behind him, her shoulder length straight red hair blowing in a subtle breeze, her green eyes locked on to the man.
"Are you sure?" she questioned nervously.
"Yes." The man stood. The features of his body became apparent; he stood well above 6 ft well built with slightly tanned skin. He wore jeans, a tightly fitting black shirt and a grey vest; his hands were wrapped in what appeared to be bandages. On his left shoulder and hip he had swords holstered. His moderate length unkempt blonde hair swayed a bit in the wind as he closed his eye. He raised his right hand, palm facing the location he had seen Tobi. He began to channel chakra to his hand. "Hikari….PRISMATICA REGALA!" he yelled both eyes shooting open revealing deep blue irises with streaks of silver in them. Out of his hand a beam of multicolored light focused and raced towards Tobi.
*At the battlefield*
"Huh?" Tobi jumped backed from where he stood and a beam of light crashed into the spot leaving a dark gash in the ground. A cloud of black smoke appears and two individuals came into view slowly. "What?" he exclaimed.
"Hello, Tobi." The blonde man spoke his blue eyes focused on the mask Tobi wore. "Kaira…go check the boy, heal him if need be."
"Hai!" the red haired woman moved quickly to where Naruto lay unconscious and began to check him for wounds.
"I have a challenge for you Tobi." The masked man gazed at the blonde curiously. "I question the power of your Sharingan specifically the Tsukuyomi genjutsu."
"You question the power of the Uchiha?" Tobi scathed.
"No..." the man closed his eyes. "I question your eyes strength in comparison to mine!" his eyes napped open the left now appearing as a Mangekyo Sharingan,.
"HOW!" Tobi spat, venom lacing his voice.
"It matters not. I want you to use your Tsukuyomi upon me as I use mine upon you."
"Fine then you shall see that a true Sharingan user is superior to a thief."
"Tsukuyomi!" both yelled in unison. The sky turned red around both men and T shaped crosses appeared behind each though neither was restrained to their respective crosses.
"It is as I figured." The blonde spoke first calmly. "Our jutsu are fighting for dominance whoever wins our fight in here will ensnare the other." Tobi cringed back from the man. Their eyes both locked and the blonde pulled his swords, a wakazashi held like a dagger in his left and a long tanto in his right.
"So be it I will crush you no matter." Tobi charged his foe pulling a kunai. The man stood still and responded with a single step forward with a thrust. "GAH!" Tobi gasped the sword had hit its mark and pierced Tobi body through his heart. "B-But how?"
"Simple we are outside time and space. Your jutsu doesn't work and you are vulnerable." Tobi faded and appeared restrained to his cross. "Time to finish this." He walked casually, his swords still drawn, towards Tobi.
*Back in the real world.*
Tobi's body began to slump and collapsed to the ground in a heap. The blonde man walked forward and drew his sword shoving it through both the neck and heart of his opponent. "Now I shall claim my prize." He grabbed a kunai and began to remove the man's eyes.
Naruto's vision began to flicker back as he sat up his body aching and tired from using so much chakra. "Ugh, wha-what happened." He blinked looking at the young shapely red head who was seated before him.
"You ran out of chakra after your fight with Sasuke and collapsed before you could fight Tobi." She stated sighing heavily. "Is it over Rei?"
"Yes, I just have one more thing to take care of." The large blonde man walked to Sasuke's body and began the same procedure that he had on Tobi.
"W-wait what is he doing? Who are you? What's going on?" Naruto began to panic. The woman stood up brushing off her thigh length grey dress and readjusted the black belt that pinched the dress at her waist.
"He is removing Sasuke's eyes and making sure he is dead. What's going on is we finished off Tobi it is over the battle is won. As for who we are I think my partner should answer." She smiled at Naruto.
The man stood and faced Naruto with a gentle but distance smile on his face. "Yes, well I am Rei and this lovely young woman is Kaira. We are a team and are not associated with any village or country for that matter. Kiara is medical-nin and one hell of a tracker and spy. I on the other hand am a fighter much like yourself, though I prefer longer range and use genjutsu much more often." Naruto stood up finally having regained some strength.
"But why did you save me?" Naruto questioned.
"At this point it doesn't matter. But we desire to meet with the Hokage." Rei spoke seriously.
*The Hokage's Office Several Days Later.*
"Lady Tsunade." Shizune bowed to her Hokage.
"Yes, Shizune what is it?" the Hokage stared blankly at the stack of paperwork, hiding several bottles of sake behind the stack to keep it hidden from Shizune.
"Naruto has returned to give his report on the final fight…And he has two warriors who have requested to meet with you during the report."
"Hmmm…Alright send them in." Tsunade sat up straight in her chair her fingers laced in front of her face.
"Hey Baa-chan hows it goin." Naruto waved as he entered the office, the two mysterious warriors followed quietly.
Tsunade twitched. "Naruto how many times have I told you not to call me that." Keeping calm as she said it noticing the two figures behind him. "And who might you two be?"
"Pardon our rudeness Hokage-sama. I am Rei and this is my partner Kaira." Rei spoke with a small smile on his face.
"I see, please have a seat Rei-san you as well Kaira-san. The initial reports say we have much to thank you about." Tsunade cocked an eyebrow at the two.
"Please there is no need for formalities or thanks." Kaira spoke. "But we do have things we need to discuss privately with you Lady Hokage."
"Lady Tsunade please. Naruto! Leave you can give your report later." Tsunade glared at the hyperactive blonde.
"Ugh, fine but you owe me ramen later." Naruto yelled as he flew out the window.
Tsunade activated several seals around the room. "It is safe to talk now." Rei grabed a scroll from his waist and tossed it to Tsunade. "What is this?"
"They are Sharingan. I claimed a collection of them from Tobi along with one of Sasuke's eyes, there should be around 14 in total."
"One of Sauske's eyes?" Tsunade seemed nervous at the statement as paused to study the scroll.
"Yes I took one for myself. You see I have a unique ability which allows me to store and call on the abilities of others eyes. Currently I possess three Sharingan, one from each Sasuke and Tobi plus another I claimed years ago. Also I possess a Rinnegan courtesy of Tobi and a Byakugan."
"What! I demand you immediately return them as they are property of this village." Tsunade slammed her fist on her desk.
"I cannot do that I am sorry. The Sharingan were earned as a prize from battle aside from Sasuke's and the Byakugan…Well actually you should thank heaven I have it there's a reason the Mist Village only has one." A smirk crossed Rei's face.
"The Hyuga will not accept this." Tsunade sighed. "They will demand…" She was cutoff by Kaira.
"His execution. Ugh when will people learn that not the answer beside he just single handedly beat Tobi do they really think he could be defeated by their clan alone. I mean how much of a stick up your ass…" Rei cupped his hand over Kaira's mouth.
"That is enough. We are aware of what they'll clamor for but considering I have no loyalty to any village and money is of little interest to me, I think we can work something out." His expression turned cold.
"I will call a meeting with the head at a future date. Now about these eyes." She motioned to the scroll
"They are a gift I suggest you award them to a genin every 15-20 years just so that its power remains a threat and deterrent." Rei gazed blankly out the window.
"I have developed a process to implant the eyes without major sugery allowing the patient to be functioning the next day." Kaira smiled pleased with herself. "I hope it's abilites are up to your standards." She handed a scroll to the legendary medical-nin with a giddy school girl smile.
"Very well I shall consider it. In the meantime what are your plans?" Tsunade questioned again. Rei cracked a small smile.
*With Naruto*
Naruto ran from roof to roof looking for any of Konoha 12 that had returned, though a specific kunoichi was stuck in mind. Suddenly he spotted a splash of pink in one of the streets. "SAKURA!" he landed next her.
"Naruto!" she pulled him into hug. "I had heard rumors you had returned and that…the war is over." Her voice trailed off. Naruto could sense her apprehension.
"Sakura…" Naruto grabbed her into the hug again. "He's dead…." Tears began to gather in Sakura's eyes. Naruto could feel the tears and started to say "Sakura I'm sor…."
"Thank you. Naruto." She pulled away with a small smile. "I'm not crying cause I'm sad. I'm happy this nightmare is finally over." She paused and glanced back at Naruto who suddenly looked pale as a ghost and collapsed. "Naruto!" she grabbed him and ran to the hospital.
*At the hospital a few days later*
"Ughh…my head." Naruto shrugged as woke up in a hospital bed.
"Before you even asked you were exhausted. Naruto how long had it been since you had a real rest?" Sakura was sitting across the room with his chart.
"I don't know maybe a few months."
"Well then you need some time off I'll talk to Tsunade about it, but your free to go. By the way the rest of our class is finally back today." Naruto's eyes lit up.
"Okay Sakura I'll take it easy for a bit." Naruto got up from the bed and changed after Sakura left and headed off into to town. I wonder where she would be right now. He pondered settling down on a roof top to think. But he was interrupted by none other than his infamous stomach. "Ramen time! Heh heh." Naruto laughed as he disappeared in a flash.
*The Hyuga Compound* *Slight Mature Content*
Hinata had arrived back at the compound a few hours ago and upon arrival had immediately retired to her room to rest. But the only thing that seemed to be at rest was her body. She had taken her vest off and laid down her bed to relax but her mind just kept running. What do I mean to him? Did he ever think about me? Did he ever really care? Ahhhh. Stop it Hinata you know it has been hectic since the war started I mean he was hidden away as soon as the war began he probably just didn't have a chance to talk to you. As her mind continued to muse she decided it would be a good time to take a nice long hot shower. I can't wait to see him again! Her mind had completely switch gears to "positive" thoughts as she stripped off her clothes and stepped in the hot water.
I bet he looks amazing after all the trainings he has been doing. Thoughts of Naruto's muscled body pervaded her head, as did a few imagines she had taken with the help of her bloodline . She shivered and her hand began to drift down to between her legs. "Naruto-kun" she whispered to herself as her hand gently fondled her womanhood. She moaned lightly as she quickened her pace faster, she began to pant as the sensation between her legs grew. Finally she let out a loud gasp as the pleasure she had built up released itself. She quickly turned off the shower and dressed leaving the compound. The Hyuga compound wasn't a very private place and she didn't want to be questioned about her shower.
She raced down one the village streets heading towards some of the trainings grounds hoping to maybe find some of the others from the Konoha 12 and maybe get her mind off Naruto if only for a second. As she ran through the streets she suddenly crashed into an orange blurr that had stepped out in front of her.
"I'm sorry let me help you up….HINATA!" Naruto exclaimed in shock. Hinata looked up quickly and pulled herself into her jacket blushing heavily. "Hinata-chan, how have you been?" He pulled her up off the ground and into a hug.
Naruto-kun is hugging me! And he called me chan! Don't faint. Don't faint. Don't Faint. Hinata breathed heavily as the hug broke. "I-I'm fine N-N-Naruto-kun, I j-just got h-home t-today…" she pressed her fingers together nervously.
"Hinata I need to talk to you about something." Naruto began to rub the back of his head nervously. "Could you meet me on top of the Hokage monument later?" And at that Hinata went pale and fainted. "Huh? O Hinata, I guess I should go find Kurenai-sensei" He picked up the girl in his arms. Mhmmm she smells nice. I don't know something just feels….feels right with her in my arms. Naruto headed off to find Kurenai.
*A random apartment in the village*
Rei lay staring out a window seemly deep in thought when he was jolted out of his concentration by a heavy thump on the bed. "Ahh it's nice to relax for once isn't it." Kaira curled up next to Rei her arm thrown over his chest.
Rei reached over and pulled her closer "Yes, Yes it is." He sighed giving her a quick peck on the lips.
"Mmmm….Don't I get more than that." Kaira pouted, but an evil look consumed her eyes as she crawled up on top of Rei and worked her way into another kiss but deeper this time.
"Later, you will get much more than that." Rei broke from the kiss. "Now go wash up we still have some things to take care of."
"Okay fine, but I will hold you to later." She slipped of off the bed "Ooohhh!" Rei slapped her in the ass as she stood up. "Don't tease me you know I'll win at that game." Rei gulped, he knew she wasn't kidding.
*Hokage Tower*
"This is an outrage he has stolen two of the most powerful and influential abilities in the village." An elder yelled. "Hiashi we can't take this lightly."
"No, we most certainly can't, but and execution isn't something I'm looking forward to though my council has advised me to do so."
"Yes, this is all very well but we're forgetting something very important." Shikaku spoke up leaning back heavily in his chair staring at the ceiling. "This man took down Tobi with one of his clans own jutsu, by himself without a scratch. Do we honestly think we hold any power or sway over him? Honestly I think its best we just let him be especially if he doesn't have an affiliation with a village, why drive him away? We could always attempt to gain his loyalty."
Some of the elders grumbled at this truth. "I think Shikaku may be right." Hiashi broke the silence much to shock of the elders. "It seems this man holds most of the cards yet chooses not to play them. I think we should attempt to at least earn his trust."
Tsunade finally spoke up "I agree with Hiashi. Aside from that Rei and his partner Kaira had requested to remain in the village for an extended time as it were, provided we allow them to come and go without question. Though I believe they could do that without us knowing any how…" she sighed. "Now our next matter Naruto. It appears he is due a promotion from his current status based on his current record."
"That Demon Brat! You couldn't possib…" A councilman began before being cutoff.
"If you speak of him as a Demon one more time I swear on Kami I will kill you are we clear." Tsunade anger began to show its self on the surface as her fist clenched. "Now I suggest we promote Naruto to Jonin knowing full well that at full strength I have no doubt he could defeat most of us in the room by ourselves if not at the same time."
"I seconded the motion." Shikaku The rest of the council agreed, though some remained begrudged about it.
*The Hokage Monument*
Naruto sat at the base of tree on top of the monument overlooking the village below. The sun had began to set opposite the monument. I guess I should stop letting her hide. "Hinata-chan…" Naruto spoke his gaze un-breaking from the village.
"Eeeep!" Hinata walked forward from the grove of trees behind Naruto and sat down next to him. "How long did you know I was there?" her face was completely flushed red but the setting sun hid the color change. "This village looks beautiful doesn't it?" She couldn't find the courage to look at Naruto.
"Not as beautiful as you." Naruto whispered back.
"N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata finally found the push to look at Naruto. The setting sun began to silhouette both of them as they sat above the village.
"When Pain attacked, when you confessed your love. And then w-when I thought I l-lost you…"Naruto visibly flinched as he talked, Hinata didn't miss the flinch. But she couldn't bring herself to respond. "That moment I realized how much you meant to me and how stupid I had been to never notice it."
Hinata's face froze in gape, everything had gone blank in her mind. "N-Narut…" Her words were cutoff as Naruto's lipps crashed into her and locked them in a deep kiss. Her blush deepened as her eyes slid closed as she began to enjoy and press herself into the kiss. The sun finally slipped completely behind the horizon as they broke from their bliss. "N-Naruto-kun." Hinata threw her arms around Naruto and squeezed him tight.
"Hinata-chan….I love you to." Naruto settled into embrace and both slipped slowly into sleep.
*The Next Morning*
Hinata began to wake from her sleep. Please don't have been a dream. She slowly opened her eyes to see herself tightly held into Naruto's embrace. Both Naruto and Hinata jolted back awake at a swirl of leaves in front of them. "Naruto." A crow masked ANBU stood in front of them.
"Huh…what is it?" Naruto grumbled still part way asleep.
"Lady Hokage wishes that you speak with our guests….they are currently at this location. The girl may accompany if you wish." The ANBU dispersed back into the swirl of leaves.
"Ughh…You want to join me Hinata?" Naruto rubbed his eyes trying to work off the sleep.
"Sure Naruto-kun…"a smile crept across her face as both stood off and sped towards the address they had been given.
*Random Apartment*
Naruto and Hinata landed on a balcony to the apartment and slowly slid the door open to peer inside. "Rei-san." Naruto spoke loudly as they opened the door fully.
"What?" Rei yawn sitting on the bed dressed in only shorts showing off his well toned and built body. He stood up and stretched his arms. As he stood up Hinata and Naruto noticed a woman lying on the bed with only a sheet covering what appeared to be her naked body as they could only see her back and red hair draped over her shoulder. "Why are you here so early? I haven't had much sleep in case you didn't notice." He glanced back at the figure in the bed.
"The Hokage wanted Naruto to meet with you." Hinata spoke somewhat sheepishly.
"What do they want to know now?" his voice turned irritated.
"It seems the village is somewhat on edge with your presence here. Especially with the Hyuga elders still at a boiling point." Naruto stared intently at the man.
"The elders?" Hinata seemed confused at the information.
"Yes Hinata-sama, heiress of the Hguya clan. Your elders don't like the fact that Rei here has a Byakugan." Kaira had sat up in bed and pulled the sheet around to cover her generous curves. "We figured they wouldn't let it go so easy." Hinata looked uneasily at the man not sure what to say.
"Well if the village is on edge why don't they get to know me. I know you're having a celebration for the end of the war maybe I should attend and announce myself to them." Rei shrugged as he walked to the small kitchen to find food for his breakfast.
"I will tell the Hokage of your request." Naruto bowed.
"Now I suggest you leave both Kaira and myself can be quite cranky in the morning. In fact I'm surprised to see you up this early as it appears you to had a night yourselves." Hinata's face went to a deep red and fought the urge to faint. "Before you ask you both are steeped in each other's scent." He flashed a smile at Kaira who nodded.
Naruto and Hinata left quickly after the exchange and meet the Hokage to explain Rei suggestion.
"Hmmm…that seems like a good idea." Tsunade spoke her gaze focused in her stack of papers. "As for you, I'm placing you on leave for a few months based on your war service."
"Thank you Lady Tsunade." Both bowed in unison.
"O and Naruto congratulations." She tossed a vest at him. "You're a jonin now." She looked and smiled at Naruto as she moved to hug him.
A tear moved down Naruto's cheek "Thank you Baa-chan." Naruto smiled and both he and Hinata vanished quickly.
Lady Tsunade sat down and finally let out a tear. I'm so proud of him. He'll make a great replacement when I eventually step down
*Outside with Naruto and Hinata*
"Hey Hinata." she looked over and cocked a small smile. "How about we good out somewhere tonight to celebrate!"
"Y-you mean like a d-date?" Hinata questioned, her face beginning to blush slightly.
"That's exactly what I mean Hinata. My treat, somewhere nice to!" Naruto's face lit up and smile grew acrossed his face.
"I'd love too Naruto-kun!" Hinata beamed.
"Okay I'll pick you up around 7 Hinata-chan." They both split and speed off to their respective homes.
