Chapter 2
Naruto was walking from town to town earning his own money so he could at least increase the money that his parents had left him. He had been attacked by Akatsuki again a few weeks ago. They appeared again under the infamous white flag of peace.
"We'd like to inlist in your help Naruto." Itachi said.
"How do I know you're not going to attack me?" Naruto asked.
"Our leader is being controled by Madara Uchiha... It was never our wish to find the Jinchuurikis... We wish to free our leader of the control and kill Madara Uchiha." Kisame said.
"Fine... but I want you two to train me afterwards." Naruto comromised.
Kisame shrugged and Itachi said,"Done."
And so they left.
That was 5 years ago. Madara had fled to Oto and killed Orochimaru adopting Sasuke in the process. They looked everywhere for him but they couldn't be fount for it was as if they disappeared off the face of the Earth. Kisame and Itachi kept their promise and trained Naruto in everthing they knew and even helped him in the family jutsus and in creating new ones. He no longer wore orange, but a pure black robe with 2 katanas sheathed on his back, a straw hat, contacts and even used a voice distortion jutsu taught to him by Sasori.
Nagato had died, but brought back Yahiko with the Rinnegan and the powers he had as Pein. They burried the other Pein bodies. Naruto still held a distinct hate at being banished. So naturally he was pissed when he heard that Konoha was going to hire them to help with the war that threatens them.
"I'll do it, but this is your only favor Yahiko." Naruto said venomously.
"Fine." Yahiko agreed.
And so the headed for Konoha at a reasonably speedy pace.
3 days treking placed them at the front gates of Konoha. Tsunade, Kakashi, Kurenai, Gai, and Jiraiya were there to greet them.
"A Tsunade... This is a welcome party if there ever was one. I see 4 Jounin and a Sannin plus you here to greet us..." Yahiko said.
"I'll be in the Council Chambers in 15 minutes Pein... I wish to walk the streets for a while." Naruto said his voice distorted because of the Jutsu.
"Go ahead... Tsunade... He won't cause any trouble unless he gets angry and may Kami have mercy upon your souls if he gets angry." Yahiko advised.
"He must be tailed by my ANBU members." Tsunade said.
"If they can catch me." Naruto said vanishing in a flash red light.
The Akatsuki members didn't react to this acting as if this was normal, but the Konoha ninjas all thought the same thing,'What the hell was that?'
With Naruto
He appeared at the Academy and smirked. He walked the halls until he came up to his old classroom. He opened the door to find Iruka was at the ready to defend the students. They didn't recognize him because he had his Akatsuki attire on.
"I see you were willing to defend the children with your life Iruka-san... That brings joy to my heart to see that there is still some good in Konohagakure no Sato." Naruto said.
"What do you want Akatsuki-san?" Iruka asked as Naruto released the voice distortion Jutsu.
"Just to talk Iruka." Naruto said lifting his head slightly to show a foxy grin that was very familiar to Iruka.
"Naruto?" Iruka mouthed.
"That's right." Naruto said.
"Class... early 10 minute break... Wait there for my assistant." Iruka said smiling.
When they left Iruka grabbed a sign placing it on the door handle.
"So where to?" Iruka asked.
"The Old Man's grave." Naruto said grimly.
"I'd never thought you'd join the Akatsuki Naruto." Iruka commented.
"Well... they needed my help and I never left after that. They're the closest thing to family I have right now. Oh and whilst in public call me Oni." Naruto said.
"Sure." He said as they arrived at the Sandaime's grave.
"So how's everyone?" Naruto asked.
"Hinata's my assistant, doesn't want to get married but has to, Kiba's her fiance, Lee and Sakura are and item, Kakashi married Kurenai and have a child, I'm married, Neji and Tenten are engaged, and Choji and Ino are seeing each other. Shikamaru... well it's a mystery. Shino's even got a girlfriend!" Iruka said.
"I see... Who's the lucky lady?" Naruto asked.
"Anko..." Iruka said.
"Iruka! What are you doing?" Hinata asked.
"Um... I was talking to..." Iruka said only to realize that Naruto was gone, so naturally Hinata misunderstood.
Council Chamber
Naruto appeared in the Council Chamber and entered to behold all of the Jounin and Chuunin except for his friends. Of course Jiraiya and Tsunade were there. Naruto practically smirked at that. It let word of his infamous return get out even faster.
"Ah... Oni... We've secured an agreement. We're to answer only to the Hokage. We will also be living in a place of your choosing." Yahiko said.
"Good... Maybe now that Uchiha-teme won't have this Council kiss his ass anymore." Naruto said.
"What have we done to you?" Koharu asked.
Naruto dug in his back pocket and fished out his slashed Leaf Hitai-ate.
"Why Koharu-san! You, Homura, and Danzou caused me much grief while I was a shinobi of this village... You guys even banished me when all I did was try to defend myself after Sasuke plunged a Chidori into my chest." Naruto said.
Tsunade's eyes widened and said,"It can't be."
"Oh it can and is... baa-chan." Naruto said removing his hat and contacts then said,"Naruto Uzumaki is now a member of the Akatsuki and we're staying in the Namikaze Estate."
"Naruto!" All the Jounin, Chuunin, Tsunade, and Jiraiya yelled.
"Hey everyone. Long time no see." Naruto said.
"WE BANISHED YOU FOR A REASON DEMON!" Koharu yelled only for a slip of paper to attatch itself to his head with an explosive seal on it.
"You will not call Naruto-san a demon you sorry excuse for a human being!" Konan yelled.
"Heh looks like my infamous return is causing an uproar huh?" Naruto said.
"Looks like it." Jiraiya said as he stared at Tsunade's cleavage.
"Ugh... still the Ero-Sannin I remember." Naruto said.
"Naruto wishes to reveal himself to his friends on his terms." Yahiko said.
"Agreed. Pein-san. Do we have an accord?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes we do." Yahiko said shaking her hand.
Naruto then replaced his hat on his head, but not his contacts for he had lost them and vanished in the flash of red light.
"Which reminds me... What Jutsu is that?" Tsunade asked.
"What? The Kyuubi no Hiraishin no Jutsu? It's an upgraded version of the Yandaime's Hiraishin no Jutsu." Kisame said.
With Naruto
He arrived back at the academy to see Hinata teaching the students kunai and shuriken throwing. Even with Naruto's thick skull, he had to admit that she had grown into a beautiful woman.
"You can come out now!" Hinata yelled suddenly.
Naruto sighed as he dropped down.
"I heard you talking about a guy named Naruto Uzumaki Hyuuga-san... You must have been good friends with him and liked him alot" Naruto said.
"It's not just that... I was and still am in love with him... I miss him so much... I wonder where he is right now." Hinata said only to hear Naruto laugh.
"What's so funny Akatsuki-san?" Hinata asked.
"Well 1: You didn't stutter for once... 2: Use your Byakugan Hinata! AND 3: put the fact that I know the 1st 2 together and you'll figure it out soon enough." Naruto said.
Hinata thought about it... He somehow knew that she used to stutter and her first name, but the only ones that would know that one would be part of the Rookie 12 and their senseis along with the Hyuuga Clan. Everyone of those were accounted for except,"N-Naruto-k-kun."
"Ding ding ding ding ding! We have a winner on who I am for once with out me giving much help." Naruto said removing his straw hat.
Hinata responds by fainting on the spot.
"Well at least I know why she does that now... or is it the fact that she just realized that it's me? AGH! Why are women this complicated?" Naruto yelled to no one as he picked her up bridal style and vanished in a flash of red light.
They arrived at the park and he laid her down on the soft grass and jumped into the tree where when she woke up she could still see him, but not anyone else unless they were extremely close to her. Which is something he did not want right now.
He waited until she started to stir.
"Good Morning Sleeping Beauty." Naruto said as he he dragged her attention to him.
"I heard that you were getting married to Kiba... against your will at that! He just couldn't hold back his hormonal crush on you could he?" Naruto asked.
"Not really... Oh and speak of the devil." Hinata said as Naruto put his straw hat back on.
"There's my lovely fiance!" Kiba yelled.
"Where? Oh me? Sorry to disappoint you Kiba but the wedding is off for eternity." Hinata said activating her Byakugan, getting down into a Jyuken position, and glaring red hot swords stabs at him. (worse than glaring daggers.)
"Says who? You're under a marriage contract and the only way for you not to marry me is to marry someone else, but they'd have to challenge me for your hand in marriage." Kiba said not knowing that Naruto heard word for word of what he said.
"Hello Kiba Inuzuka... If what you say is true then I challenge you for the right to marry Hinata Hyuuga." Naruto said dropping down silently.
"Who are you to challenge the Head of the Inuzuka Clan?" Kiba asked.
"So you don't recognize me? How about now... Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto said forming over 1,000 Shadow Clones.
"I haven't seen this many Shadow Clones since Naruto... But I'm way past his caliber." Kiba said.
"Oh really Kiba? Perhaps if I took my hat off then we can truly see who I am." Naruto said as he reached for his hat only to be stopped by Kiba saying,"I don't know who you are nor do I care cause I've read the reports and I know for a fact that you're not Naruto."
"Ugh... Wrong again Kiba..." Naruto said as he removed his hat and showed Kiba that he was indeed Naruto.
"Naruto? Your a member of the Akatsuki? For how long?" Kiba asked.
"For about half a decade... It's the only reason that I'm here right now actually... and I had to be ordered to come back by ?" Naruto said as he formed Rasengans in each hand through out his Shadow Clones while Naruto was flashing through Hand Seals behind his back secretly.
"Why are you in the village then?" Kiba asked.
"Because Konoha has hired Akatsuki to fight for them... Are you ready Kiba?" Naruto asked shooting out a Katon:Goukakyou no Jutsu at him.
"Whoa! When did you learn Fire Style?" Kiba asked as he dodged it.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa!" Naruto yelled from above sending a bullet of air at him.
Kiba dodged again only for Naruto to be behind him and he said,"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu! Give up yet Kiba?"
"Grrrrrrr... FANG OVER FANG!" Kiba yelled.
"Ugh... Raiton: Ryuu Daitoppa no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted sending a electrical current into the water before Kiba could initiate his Jutsu completely.
Kiba screamed in pure agony and the thing was that Naruto was holding back on him.
"Damn it... Try this! It's a fuel enhancer pill... It heals injuries, increases your chakra reserves, strength, speed, and endurance." Kiba said as he took it and then wistled and then a giant dog appeared.
"Hmm? No way... is that Akamaru? Heh... Going for your more powerful Jutsus now are Kiba... Then so will I." Naruto said as he did four handsigns and ran his hand along his body and then his chakra went straight through the roof.
"I'm on par in sealing with the Yandaime now you know... Rasen-Shuriken!" Naruto yelled as he formed his wind style rasengan.
"Huh? So what that jutsu won't be able to get through our Jutsu... Let's go Akamaru... Wolf Tunneling Fang!" Kiba yelled as they formed a massive Tunneling Fang and going at Naruto with it. Naruto simply held out his hand and the two Jutsus collided in a massive explosion flinging Kiba back while Naruto simply was not there for he had used the Kyuubi no Hiraiashin no Jutsu to get out of the way.
"So this is from the Clan Head of the Inuzuka Clan huh? Tsume would be embarrassed to hear of this." Naruto said as he appeared in a flash of red light behind Hinata.
"If you don't end this Kiba, then I'll have to kill you and I don't want to put Hinata-chan through that much emotional distress." Naruto said.
"Well I love her and she's mine to marry! I WILL MARRY HER!" Kiba yelled.
*sigh*" I was hoping to not have to use this, but it seems that I am going to have to use it." Naruto said as he drew one of his katanas.
"You're going to beat me with that? Get real Naruto!" Kiba yelled forming another Wolf Tunneling Fang to attack him.
*sigh*" Oniton: Kyuubi no Hiraishin no Jutsu!" Naruto said vanishing in a flash of red light faster then he usually did.
Then he appeared again after about 3 seconds and Kiba was knocked out from the blood loss that he did not know that he had.
"Sorry you had to see that Hinata-chan... Are you sure that you still love me knowing that I can do so much? I've done horrible things in the past 5 years... things I'm not proud of. I've even begun to hate myself for them." Naruto asked.
"I'm sure Naruto-kun... because you are still you." Hinata answered.
"I see... very well then I shall take this up with Hiashi-san and hope and pray he doesn't kill me." Naruto said as he picked Hinata up and vanished in a flash of red light.
"What Jutsu was that Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked as they appeared outside the Hyuuga Compound.
"Kyuubi no Hiraishin no Jutsu, Say Hinata... Will you go on a date with me?" Naruto asked.
"YES!" Hinata squeeled.
"I'll come by at 7:00 sharp! We're going to Ichiraku... They don't know that I'm back yet." Naruto said.
"Alright." Hinata said.
Naruto then hugged her and vanished in a flash of red light and appeared at the Namikaze Estate and unlocked the gate and smeared some of his blood on the blood seal attatched to the door effectively unlocking it. He got dressed in his father's clothes then looked at himself in the mirror, marveling at how much he looked like him. He then vanished and reappeared in Tsunade's office in the flash of yellow light of the Hiraishin no Jutsu.
"Minato?" Tsunade asked.
"Almost baa-chan!" Naruto said.
"Naruto you look just like your father." Tsunade commented.
"I figured as much... listen... I have a date tonight... can you send some ANBU to keep Kiba at bay? I don't think that he'll be very happy about me defeating him and will try again, this time in public." Naruto said.
"Why?" Tsunade asked.
"I challenged him for the right to marry Hinata-chan and he lost meaning that the current person that Hinata is to marry is me and I have a date with my now fiance." Naruto said.
Tsunade smiled and said,"Consider it done... And allow me to say... IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME NARUTO!"
"Thanks baa-chan... You knew? Oh wait back on topic... um... Can you make a public announcement about my heritage?" He inquired.
"An uproar to hell and back won't stop me from doing that for you I suppose." Tsunade stated.
"Thanks again baa-chan!" Naruto said vanishing again in the flash of yellow light that symbolizes the Hiraishin no Jutsu.
"ANBU!" Tsunade yelled making at least 5 of them appear.
"You're to guard the black robed Akatsuki member whilst he is on his date. Who knows... You might even find out who he is." Tsunade said smiling.
"Who is he going out with?" a familiar voice said from an Anbu mask shaped like a bear.
"Well Neji... it's your cousin, Hinata Hyuuga." Tsunade said grinning.
"WHAT WHY IS SHE GOING ON A DATE WITH HIM!" another familar voice screamed.
"Well Sakura... You can find out when you get there." Tsunade said as she waved her hand to dismiss them.
"Where's the date at?" yet another familar voice sounded.
"Eh... Ichiraku Ramen." Tsunade said as they vanished.
At 6:59 Hyuuga Mansion
Naruto arrived wearing the black Akatsuki robe with the straw hat on; under that was his father's clothes. He walked up to the door and knocked right as the clock stuck 7:00. The door opened to reveal Hinata in a form fitting black dress that was strapless and went down to her knees making Naruto drool over her figure.
"Hey Naruto-kun... I'm ready." Hinata said.
"Huh? Oh right! Come on!" Naruto said grabbing her hand and vanished in a swirl of leaves.
They appeared at Ichiraku Ramen within minutes, but the ANBU were already there eating through their masks and Naruto sent a slight chakra pulse and grinned knowing that they were his friends. They went inside and Tuechi said,"Ah! 2 new customers! What'll you have?"
Teuchi hadn't changed much in 5 years and his daughter, Ayame, only got cuter.
Naruto who was watching Hinata walk answered without thinking," The usual Old Man Teuchi."
"What was that?" Teuchi asked his eyes widening slightly.
"Oh sorry... 4 large bowls of miso and 2 large bowls of beef please. What'll you have Hinata?" Naruto asked.
"I'll have a chicken ramen please." Hinata answered.
"That order is familiar... What is you name?" Teuchi inquired.
"ANBU... please remove your masks for I know your identity already... Sakura Haruno, Neji Hyuuga, Tenten Higurashi, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akamichi, Shino Aburame, and Rock Lee." Naruto said slightly forestalling the question.
"How?" They asked as they removed their masks.
Naruto reached up to his hat and slowly removed it saying," Heh... It's been 5 yeara hasn't it everyone?"
Naruto's hat was off and they gaped at him.
"NARUTO!" They yelled.
"That's right. I've been in this village, if it can be called that, for quite soime time... Ah much better." Naruto said removing the Akatsuki robe.
They continued to gape in surprise and awe. Surprise at the fact that he was back, but as an Akatsuki member. Awe at who he looked like.
"What? Look I know I look like my dad, but please don't gape at me... I'm getting self conscious." Naruto said.
"No you look like the Yandaime Hokage, Naruto." Neji said.
"Ugh... wait unti tomorrow and it'll get through that thick skull of yours Neji." Naruto said.
"The truth of the matter is, Naruto's father was the Yandaime Hokage." a familiar voice said from behind them.
"Kakashi." Naruto said.
"Hello Naruto I believe Iruka told you that I'm married and have a child... Allow me introduce my daughter, Rin." Kakashi said.
"Cute kid, Kakashi Hatake... So how's the love life with Hinata's old sensei?" Naruto asked.
With Tsunade and Yahiko
"So you want to enlist us as Konoha Shinobi... What about Naruto?" Yahiko asked.
"Well lets say that when I make the announcement tomorrow which in this village is Naruto's last secret then they'll be kissing his ass. As he rightly deserves... We need alot of allies and the Akatsuki was the first." Tsunade said.
"Might I suggest Suna, Wave, Demon, Spring, Waterfall, Snow, Moon, Star, Kiri, Iwa, and Uzu." Yahiko suggested.
"Uzu? It was wiped out." Tsunade said.
"Almost... It has been rebuilt and have pledged their allegance to Naruto." Yahiko said.
"That is interesting Pein... Naruto has some strong allies and being as he sees me as a grandmother I would believe that I'm one of them... What is your relationship with him." Tsunade asked.
"He's part of our family no matter how small it is." Yahiko stated simply.
"I see... I'm glad that he's found a family that loves him as powerful as Akatsuki." Tsunade said.
"I agree... He has been sad for far too long." Yahiko stated sadly.
With Naruto and Hinata.
Naruto had told Sakura to take a blood sample and run it against the Yandaime's blood and she did so and then he turned to Hinata,"Well I had fun... How about we do this again... say tomorrow Hinata? Your picking though." Naruto said.
"I'd love to." Hinata said as they arrived at the Hyuuga front gates and Naruto hugged her and then vanished in a flash of red light. He arrived at his Estate and went to his room thinking of a way to prove that his father was infact the Yandaime Hokage. He already had a few of them planned out. They were to have the Hokage announce it, The Blood Test, the Blood Seal on the front door, and raising his mom and dad back from the dead. He fell asleep thinking of these things.
