I do NOT own Naruto
Chapter II – Time flies by
The moment the light receded, Naruto and Hinata had many different thoughts racing through their minds. They stared wide-eyed at the four people before them and a second later Hinata fainted from the shock. Naruto quickly caught her and was panicking that she might have died, this resulted in a hearty laugh from the four people and Kami.
A few minutes later Hinata regained consciousness and said, "I just had the weirdest dream. I dreamed that my mom and uncle came back from the dead." She blinked a few times and looked around. She could feel that Naruto was holding her in a tight embrace as if she would vanish in thin air if he let go of her. It made her blush and feel perfectly safe as if nothing could do her any harm as long as he held her in his arms and thus she snuggled even closer to him.
Not only Naruto noticed that, but all the others who were there did also, resulting in a blushing Naruto and chuckling adults and deity. "Hinata-chan, that wasn't a dream, they are back from the dead, and my parents are also back," told her Naruto with a huge smile.
Hinata's eyes went wide once again and when she spotted her mother she couldn't hold back her tears. Naruto let her go and she bolted over to her mother, embracing her in a giant hug and crying, "mom, you're back, I missed you so much."
"I missed you too Hinata-chan," said her mother with tears in her eyes while also hugging her. The two were hugging each other for a few minutes before they separated again and Kami told them that they were the people who were going to help train them. She also told them that their parents would stay alive even after their training was done since they already had endured enough misery in their young lives and deserved at least a loving family. Of course, everyone present was more than happy to hear that.
And so began their training and new life with their family. Although loving parents and uncle, when it came to their training they were sadistic slave drivers, especially Kushina and Hitomi, who had the tendency to almost killing their children more than often during kenjutsu or survival training. Despite getting almost killed every other day by their mothers, they loved them and wouldn't trade them for the world.
Naruto and Hinata grew even closer during their training and off time which didn't go unnoticed by the adults. One day, about half a year after they started the training, Hitomi and Kushina decided to tell their children about something that they had planned before they were born.
"Naru-kun, Hina-chan, come over for a moment, we need to tell you two something," said Kushina as she beckoned them over to sit on a couch in the newly refurbished common room. The two got over and comfy on the couch, Hinata had long ago decided that Naruto was her favorite cushion, so she sat in his lap with her head resting on his shoulder while he was holding her with his arms around her waist.
"We are really glad that the two of you are getting along so well with each other, especially since this makes this way easier," Hitomi said with a warm smile. The two were curious what this was all about and were signaling their mothers to go on.
"You see, Hitomi and I were always best friends since our days at the academy and after we both got married to our husbands and after getting pregnant, we decided to bring our families together by agreeing on an arranged marriage between our children, if they were a boy and girl each, or being the godparents to each other's children if they were both the same sex. Since you are a boy and a girl, the former agreement takes place, so you two are betrothed to each other, we will, of course, respect your decision if you don't want to," told them Kushina.
Naruto and Hinata were of course more than just surprised by this, they were best friends and both had over time realized that they had feelings for each other, they just didn't know about the other's feelings for them and didn't want to risk their friendship if the other didn't feel the same way. But now there was an opportunity, they looked at each other in the eyes and saw first hope then realization and finally happiness. They turned back to their mothers and said in sync "we definitely want to be together forever!"
Both mothers were happy to hear that, both for their children and that their families would grow together as they hoped.
There was, of course, also a different occasion where all four adults were ready to march for Konoha and level the village to the ground for what they did to Naruto and the Hyuuga clan to Hinata. This was averted by Kami when she told them that they would get their revenge in a different form, namely by training the children and once they were ready come back with them.
Time went by, two years to be exact, and Naruto and Hinata both made enormous progress. Under the tutelage of their sensei's, they learned everything they would have learned during their academy time in the first year, the next one and a half years were spent on focusing more on their ninja talents. They were both adept in the Uzu-kenjutsu and fuinjutsu styles, Hinata made leaps in her gentle fist style once they found out that her elemental affinity was not earth like it was common for most Hyuuga's but that she had a very strong water affinity, strong lightning as a secondary and wind as a third.
Once they knew that, they worked on a brand new style for her, with Kushina's help they incorporated some parts of the Uzumaki taijutsu style. They named her new style 'Gentle Maelstrom' which was a very accurate description, from afar it looked very gentle and more like a dance but if you were her opponent it felt more like you were hit by a maelstrom.
Naruto learned his mothers Uzu-style and his fathers Hummingbird-style and combined them to a very deadly and absolutely unpredictable style.
They learned about first aid and basic medic jutsus and during this, they also had to learn about the human anatomy and the specific differences between male and female. This resulted in a quite amusing sex education class for the adults, not so much for the children. They both were blushing and discovering new shades of red with each passing new information and Hinata was fainting every so often resulting in laughter from the adults. In the end, they were to shy to look at each other for the rest of the week.
Kushina decided that she would have none of that anymore after the fourth day and just simply stripped them both down and forced them to look at each other and bath together, saying that they would have to get over their shyness and get used to each other's naked bodies and she would have them spar each other naked if they wouldn't get over it quickly enough. That apparently did the trick and they forced themselves to look at each other and get accustomed to each other's naked body. It took Hinata surprisingly only two times fainting before she could look at Naruto.
Both were secretly happy that this happened, they were both curious about each other's bodies but they could never admit that without the fear of the other thinking they were a pervert. Hinata was meanwhile surprised by the size of Naruto, she had seen both her father and her cousin Neji, but both were smaller despite being older and Naruto was still growing. She marveled how big one could get and if it would ever fit, after all, it had to go inside her one day so they could make a baby.
After they learned everything they could about medical jutsus and first aid from their sensei's they learned elemental jutsus. This was the time where Naruto learned about his affinities. He had an extreme wind main affinity, strong water as a second and lightning as a third.
They also trained every day their chakra control, beginning with tree-walking, water-walking, walking up a waterfall, until they were ready for the colored sand exercise where they had five different colors of sand in each hand mixed together and the goal was to separate the different colors from another towards their fingers and once they managed that the next step would be to do that in under ten seconds where it would be considered absolute perfect chakra control.
Currently, they were still on the waterfall exercise where they combined their chakra control exercise with their normal physical exercises. For that, they were wearing gravity seals and movement restriction seals.
They both learned the 'Shadow Clone' to help them with training. Hinata was able to make up to 15 clones without being too exhausted to train. This was thanks to a chakra exercise that Kami showed them where Naruto would pump his chakra very carefully through her system to enlarge her chakra coils so they could store more chakra. Naruto was able to make several hundred clones at a time which was necessary to help him with his chakra control since he had extremely large reserves his control needed more work.
During these two and a half years Naruto made contact with Kurama, they talked a lot and Kurama apologized for what he did but Naruto told him just like he told Kami and Hinata that it wasn't his fault. They quickly became friends and Kurama helped him where he could with his training which also consisted of controlling Kurama's chakra.
All in all, they were already way stronger than your average Genin and nearing Chunin in strength and skill, all they lacked was experience.
Over time they also started to explore the ruins surrounding them, they found many useful things, among them they found a vault and inside were countless scrolls on different topics, gold, jewels, and weapons but the most unexpected but also most surprising find was the long lost summoning contract of the Uzumaki clan. Kushina said she would let them sign the contract when they were older. They, of course, pouted at that and tried to use the dreaded 'Puppy Dog Eyes no Jutsu' to get her to reconsider and let them sign it sooner. To their dismay, the jutsu was blocked by the feared 'Stern Parent stare no Jutsu' and they had to make a tactical retreat.
Now and then they began to clear the ruins and started to rebuild some buildings. It was still a long way until the ruins would be completely cleared and rebuild and even longer until it would be repopulated, if ever.
About twenty months later, the adults decided they were ready for some first-hand experience in the outside world. The nearest village beside Konoha was a little fishing village in the land of Waves.
*Fishing village in the Land of Waves*
Naruto and Hinata were now both eleven years old, they completed most of their basic training and now needed to gain some real experience. So they went to the little fishing village together with Kushina and Hitomi. Once they arrived they saw something they didn't anticipate. The whole village was overrun with thugs and other lowlife criminals and mercenaries.
In the marketplace was a large crowd and in the center was a fat little man with a cheap suit and a cane. He seemed to be the boss of all these thugs and mercenaries. In front of him was the dead body of a man with his head lying a few meters beside him. The execution must have happened shortly before they arrived since the blood was still fresh.
The fat man barked some orders to his men and they began to leave, but they didn't leave alone, they had several women with them. All chained together, their age ranged from 5 to 40 and everything in between. The most sickening thing was that they obviously weren't just simple hostages, they were going to be sex-slaves and this fat slob seemed to have his eyes especially on the youngest ones of them.
Naruto was about to storm forward but his mother placed a hand on his shoulder to hold him back and when he looked at her she shook her head with a sad look.
As soon as the fat slob and his men were gone, a young woman ran over to the body of the dead man and broke down. Soon after an older man walked over to her side and placed a hand on her shoulder to console her while also shedding tears.
Kushina decided they would have to help these people, first thing would be to help the ones who were obviously the family of the dead man. So they walked over to them and she asked, "I'm sorry for your loss, but what happened here?"
The old man turned around to see who asked and when he saw them he said, "Gato happened, he ordered the execution of my son in law for giving us hope when he opposed him. Gato took our daughters and wives as payment since we couldn't pay him for his 'protection'. Kaiza tried to barging with him for more time, but when that didn't work he said that he wouldn't let him take them. Gato only laughed at that and ordered the execution."
Kushina was furious when she heard that but managed to calm down enough to ask another question, "where does this little piece of fat hide?"
The old man was surprised that a stranger would show so much compassion for them, "I don't know who you are, though I am thankful for your compassion you can't just simply go to Gato and try something rash. He has a whole army on his side and his hideout is a fortress."
"Don't worry about that just tell us where," Hitomi chimed in with clear agitation in her voice. Since he couldn't stop them, he told them where they could find Gato.
"I still don't know who you are and I'm afraid that regardless of if you manage to take him down, we can't pay you anything since we have nothing left," said the old man with a saddened face.
"Don't worry about that, we don't expect you to pay anything, we just do what's right. I'm Uzumaki Kushina and this is my son Naruto," she told him with a smile while she noted at him and Naruto waved in response.
Next was Hitomi, "I'm Hyuuga Hitomi, with my daughter Hinata," both smiled at the old man.
The old man bowed his head to them and said, "I'm Tazuna and this over here is my daughter Tsunami. Before you go, could you help us with his burial?" Tazuna asked them while looking at his dead son in law.
The group helped with bringing the dead body to a small hill with a lone tree on top where they buried Kaiza. After that was done they proceeded towards Gato's hideout, Tazuna wasn't exaggerating when he said it was a fortress and that the fat slob had a whole army for his protection.
They scouted the area and the layout of the old fortress, once that was done they made their attack plan. The plan was simple yet effective wait until night time, sneak in during the shift change, Hitomi, Hinata, and Naruto would locate the prisoners and free them while Kushina would deal with the fat slob himself. For how to get everyone out, Naruto would create a big enough distraction with his clones and seals while Hitomi and Hinata would sneak the prisoners out. Once all the prisoners were safe, Naruto would have free reign and level the place while Kushina made sure nobody slips out and Hitomi and Hinata brought everyone else safely back to the village.
The night came quick and they began their attack. They slipped past the guards without any difficulties and once inside the building they split up like planned.
Kushina made a beeline for the top section of the building since that was the most probable location where Gato would have his personal quarters. On her way, she dodged most guards while others were put silently out of commission and out of sight. Once she found a heavily guarded and pretty sturdy door, she knew that would be where Gato was.
*With Hitomi's group*
They passed numerous guards, most of them were drunk which made it pretty easy for Naruto to simply henge into a guard and ask one where the prisoners are so he could have some fun. In their drunken state, they were quick to answer their comrade and gave him directions and told him to have fun but to better not touch the younger girls since they were reserved for their boss.
After getting all the information he needed he put the guards down and out of sight. He returned to his two teammates and told them where to go. They quickly reached their destination and killed all the prison guards. For the two children were these their first kills since until now they only incapacitated the guards. Naruto took it better than Hinata, he was pale but he kept reminding himself that it was necessary, they were bad guys and he would have had to kill sooner it later anyway, that's the life of a Shinobi.
Hinata, on the other hand, was shaking, she puked and had tears in her eyes. Naruto saw that, went over to her and put his arms around her. He tools her in a calming voice the same things he told himself. This combined with the soothing embrace calmed Hinata down and after a few minutes, they were ready to go on and free the prisoners.
They searched the guards and found the keys for the prison, the cells, and the shackles they would be wearing. Inside the prison were no guards, only cells and the prisoners, they probably didn't think anybody would manage to get in there. So they quickly woke everyone up and told them to remain quiet and that they were there to free them.
Everyone they saw at the marketplace was there and when they asked around if there were other prisoners they were told that there was only one other prisoner.
When they reached the cell of this prisoner, they found a tall man lying on the floor unconscious. He wore grey cargo pants, tundra-camo leg and arm warmers, had bandages wrapped around his mouth and a Kirigakure forehead protector.
Hitomi instantly knew who this man was, what she didn't know was why he was here and why he was a prisoner. So to get some answers she woke him up with a simple water jutsu splashing in his face.
Zabuza woke up with a startle and was instantly on guard, he was unconscious until know and woke up in a prison cell with shackles on his arms and legs and his weapons were nowhere in sight. When he looked up he saw a woman on the other side of the bars of his cell, he didn't know her, he hadn't seen her before but when he saw her eyes he asked, "what is a Hyuuga doing here? I think I would have noticed it if you were one of this fat pig's concubines, although I doubt he would ever take you as one since you are too old for his taste, that girl over there, on the other hand is exactly his type," he said with disgust.
Hitomi was visibly agitated by that statement, Hinata was shivering and Naruto's eyes flashed for a brief moment red with black slits instead of pupils. All that didn't go unnoticed by Zabuza and he was wondering who they were and what they wanted.
"Zabuza 'The Demon of the bloody mist', what is a member of the seven swordsmen doing here?" Asked him Hitomi.
He looked at her for a moment before he sighed and said, "I was looking for a job for my apprentice and me. I'm no longer a Kiri-Shinobi, not after what is currently happening there. We are on the run from their hunter-nins, me because I'm a nuke-nin and my apprentice because of his bloodline-limit. Since one needs money to live, we had to look for jobs that would pay enough, sadly there isn't that much of a job market for nuke-nin's."
Hitomi was surprised to hear that but she could tell that he was telling the truth. There was still one question unanswered, "but why are you then in this cell and where is your apprentice since he isn't with the other prisoners?"
"We didn't like the job we were offered so we refused, but apparently this fat pig doesn't like a no for an answer and slipped something in our drinks," Zabuza said with slight embarrassment that someone like Gato managed to drug him. But his embarrassment quickly vanished when he realized something if his apprentice wasn't with the other prisoners, where was he? A very unpleasant thought came to his mind and he asked with a little bit of panic in his voice, "are you sure he isn't with the others? He has very feminine looks and would easily pass as a young girl not much older than this blond kid over there."
Hitomi shook her head and said that she was certain that he wasn't there which made Zabuza pale at the thought that his earlier assumption would be highly possible now. He quickly stood up and dashed towards the iron bars but was just as quickly stopped by his shackles. With panic now clear all over his face and his voice he pleaded, "please, you have to let me out of here! If Haku isn't here, that means that he's with Gato and after this pig drugged us, he still thinks that Haku is a girl! I need to get to him and save him, so please let me out of here!"
Hitomi as once again surprised by Zabuza's reaction but could see any trace of a lie, so she grabbed the keys, opened the cell and his shackles to set him free, he quickly thanked her and was about to dash for the exit before she stopped him. "We have another comrade with us, she is currently on her way towards Gato to deal with him. If Haku is with him, she will save him, we are here to rescue these prisoners, Naruto over there will create a distraction for us to evacuate the prisoners and after that is done, he will level this fortress to the ground," she told him.
Zabuza was skeptic at that, how could this kid level a fortress of this size all by himself? Hitomi saw his skeptic look and added with a smirk, "trust me, he definitely has the means to do that and you definitely don't want to be in this place when he does."
He slowly nodded at that but was still not fully convinced and said, "I still have to get my weapons, and are you sure that your comrade will save Haku?" Hitomi activated her Byakugan and looked around to see what she was looking for.
"She's actually already on her way to the rendezvous point, with a plus one I might add," she replied with a smile and Zabuza was visibly relieved when he heard that. After all that they made their way out of the fortress while making a little detour through the armory to get Zabuza's and Haku's weapons.
*With Kushina at the same time as the prisoners were freed*
Kushina was looking at the guards in front of the door and decided to outmaneuver them by simply exiting through a window and sneak along the wall towards a window of Gato's room. Once there she looked inside if anybody else was inside beside Gato, she saw something that made her blood boil.
Gato was currently completely naked and about to force himself onto a girl that was little older than Naruto. She was clearly drugged, gagged and bound to the bedposts but had still all her clothes on until he started to rip them open. To his surprise, the girl in front of him was no girl but actually a boy. At first, he was angry at that but then he said it didn't matter and stripped the drugged boy of his pants. Gato was visibly irritated by the fact that this feminine boy was better packed than him, which wasn't all too difficult since he himself didn't have much down there, though that didn't mean that Haku wasn't generously gifted.
Kushina decided this was the perfect moment to sneak in, she placed a silencing seal on the door and snuck behind Gato.
Gato grabbed Haku's balls and squeezed them getting an anguished moan from Haku through the gag in his mouth. He was just about to penetrate Haku's rectum when he found that his dick and balls were suddenly cut off. He let out a blood-curdling scream but nobody seemed to hear him. As he grabbed his bleeding lower half where his dick and balls once were attached to he heard a voice behind him, "you can scream all you want, nobody can hear you. But to your luck, I'm kind of on a tight schedule so I will end this quickly." This was the last he heard when he suddenly saw his own body upside down, realizing much too late that his head had been separated from his body.
The pain and Gato's scream must have sobered Haku enough to finally take in the situation he was in. He was frightened at first when he saw Gato and what he was about to do but he was quickly relieved when he saw this red-headed woman cutting off Gato's head.
Kushina walked over to the bedposts where Haku was bound to and cut him loose. "Who are you? Are you fit enough to walk?" she asked him.
He took out the gag and replied, "I'm Yuki Haku, thank you for saving me from this pig. And yes, I think I'm fit enough to walk on my own, but who are you?" While he asked her he quickly dressed as good as possible with his torn clothing.
She smiled at him and said, "I'm Uzumaki Kushina, I'm here with a team to rescue the prisoners and kill Gato, well one of these objectives is now done, the rest of my team should be freeing the prisoners as we speak."
She moved over to the window through which she came in and asked sheepishly, "you aren't by any chance a Shinobi and can walk on vertical surfaces?" Haku chuckled at that and told her that he indeed just so happens to be a Shinobi and he can walk on walls. So the two climbed out the window and Kushina led him to the rendezvous point where her team would be waiting for her.
They arrived at the point and saw the rest of the team minus Naruto who was about to begin his part of the plan. Just moments later there were multiple big explosions and the ground began to shake. After a few seconds, they shaking stopped and when they looked towards the fortress the could see a blond kid high up in the air with a red cloak surrounding him. In front of his face was a dark ball which he swallowed quickly after he created it. Only moments later he opened his mouth and out came a large dark beam of energy and when it hit the ground there was suddenly a large blinding dome and a second later a deafening boom could be heard and everyone was pushed to the ground by a large shockwave. When it was over after a few seconds, there was nothing left where the fortress once stood beside a huge crater.
Moments later the blond kid arrived at the meeting point slightly winded. Everyone besides his team was trying to pick up their jaws from the ground. Zabuza was suddenly very glad he took the advice from Hitomi and didn't stay in the fortress to look for Haku, he would've been dead, not even a little piece of him would've been left over.
After regaining his wits he saw that Haku was also there, beside the red-headed woman, although he was worried when he saw his clothing being torn. "Haku, are you okay? Did this fat pig?" he asked him with concern.
But to his relieve, Haku shook his head when he answered, "Zabuza-sama, I'm fine thanks to Kushina-sama, she saved me before he could do something."
Zabuza was glad to hear that, but something clicked in his mind, 'Kushina, red hair, could she possibly be? But I thought she died years ago?' so he asked, "Kushina-sama, are you by any chance Uzumaki Kushina 'The Red Death'?"
To his shock, she nodded with a devious smile and said, "yes I am, and this blond boy is my son Uzumaki Naruto," to which Naruto smiled shyly. "From your shocked expression, I guess you expected me to be dead, well I'm not and neither is my husband." Zabuza was confused, nobody knew that she was married, but it would make sense since she had a son.
In the end, they all walked back together to the fishing village. Once back the village was overjoyed that their daughters and wives were back and unharmed. What made them all the happier was the fact that Gato and his army were no more. What made all that all the sweeter was that Naruto swiped the place clean during his little distraction with the help of his shadow clones and a bunch of storage scrolls. The village threw a large party for their heroes where everyone enjoyed themselves.
The morning after the party, Naruto's group and Zabuza and Haku were about to leave when Naruto had an idea. He talked a lot with Haku and Zabuza, so he learned about their situation and why they were in Gato's fortress. "Hey, mom, can't Zabuza and Haku come with us? They are good people and they could use a place to stay, where they are safe from those hunter-nins and back at our place is more than enough room."
Kushina thought about it and finally said, "I don't see why not, you can come with us if you want and like Naruto said we have more than enough room."
Zabuza also thought about this offer, it would definitely provide safety and Haku's pleading look made the decision clear. "We will gladly accept your offer, but where exactly is it where we will be living? I don't see any headbands on you so it can't be one of the major villages."
Kushina chuckled at that and replied, "well, we aren't going to any of the major villages, we're going to Uzu. This could currently be considered the safest place on the whole continent," she said with a smile.
To say that Zabuza was surprised would be an understatement but he saw the logic behind it, everyone thinks that Uzu is destroyed, which would be right but at the same time, everyone knows that reaching Uzu is akin to suicide because of the giant whirlpools surrounding the island. But since they had an Uzumaki with them they could safely reach the island and would, in turn, be save from everyone else that might be hunting them.
After about four hours of travel, they were finally back home in Uzu. They led their new friends towards the city center where the Uzu-tower stood and they were living for the past few years. They were greeted by Kami who smiled at them and said, "I see you brought visitors back with you, who might they be?"
AN: Second chapter done, a little shorter than the first but still longer than most other chapters I write.
I know some might find the part about Kushina forcing Naruto and Hinata to look at each other naked inappropriate but to be honest, it's pretty innocent. They don't do anything sexual other than looking at each other wondering innocently about some stuff and being curious about each other, who wasn't like that when they were in their age?
Another point would be the near-rape scene with Gato and Haku, it's a necessary part of the story for a later point in the story.
And yes, Naruto is able to use the Bijuudama which is due to his training with Kurama in controlling his chakra. But he won't spam this like his Rasengan it shadow clones since it takes way to much chakra for that, even for him, also there is too much of an aoe to use it all the time, especially in populated areas. I don't think the farmers or other villagers would be happy if he would redesign their landscape to that of the moon.
Lastly but not least, thanks for reading and the reviews, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and keep reading and reviewing.
