Chapter 3
AN: Hello again everyone I am really happy with how much of a success this story is so far. While it is not at the level that I had hoped it would be by this point I still am happy with it, Now to answer a few reviews.
Rebmul: Thank you
UnsanMusho: There is only 1 possible character from the Star Wars universe that MIGHT appear in Narutos dimension and that is Shaak Ti. As for Force users that is complicated since I do plan on SOME people of Naruto's dimension to be force sensitive along with Naruto and Aayla possibly creating their own version of the Jedi Order that would be more of a Grey Jedi Order.
Inuboy86: Thanks and I figured it would be pretty obvious that Wave would join Naruto and Aayla's new growing domain…I should really think of a name for it.
Spark681: Yep I can't say much but I will say that Minato and Kushina will meet Naruto when he goes to Konoha after the business in Wave is concluded.
Plums: I will say that events like the Wave mission and Chunin Exams story arcs are tiring to read but just because I will be doing them doesn't mean that I won't be changing them significantly. Also just because I include those two arcs doesn't mean that the additional story arcs are guaranteed to show up.
Naruto and Aayla are not 16 they are 18 just to point that out. Also just because they are in the same age group as say the Genin DOES NOT mean that the Genin are ANYWHERE near Naruto and Aayla's skill level. Aayla's skill level is EASILY around Elite Jonin level in her lightsaber skills alone but adding in her force abilities it boosts her up to around Low-Mid Kage Level. Naruto on the other hand could EASILY beat Minato and Jiraiya at the SAME time…If Minato didn't use the Hirashin of course.
In all honesty the only reason that Minato is even considered Kage-Level and could even challenge Naruto is because of the Hirashin but remove that and he is Barely Elite Jonin in my mind and would EASILY be defeated by Naruto using his Lightsaber skills ALONE not mention if he brought his force powers into the mix.
Naruto and Aayla WILL NOT enlist as shinobi to learn about their Chakra abilities. I plan on having Kushina travel back to Naruto and Aayla's new home…Really should think of a name for it...shortly after they are reunited to not only get to know each other better but also teach them in their chakra abilities.
As to what Kami said to Minato and Kushina about her finding Naruto all I will say is that she told them he was found and not much else.
Avidnarutofan: Thanks and as to the last part of your review you will just have to wait and see.
Qwertypous: I see your point but in my mind a blaster bolt travels faster than ANY shinobi likely under the rank of Mid-Jonin so they would have a REALLY hard time avoiding them in the first place. Even then the troopers are not completely out of the fight as you will see later in the story.
Firem78910;: Thanks and as for your story I am not a big fan of RWBY but I will give it a look.
601st Devil Dogs: Wow another huge review where to start…They will be GREY Jedi and the code will be changed to allow relationships…The Uzu Republic does sound like a pretty good name so I may use it.
In regards to Aayla and the possibility of her sharing Naruto if I do make it a VERY SMALL harem I have to disagree with you. While yes it would take some getting used to I think that if there was a girl who GENUINELY loved Naruto she may give them a chance and share him with said girl. You have to remember that she is a Twi'Lek and when it comes to relationships they can considered the most open minded of all the species in the Star Wars universe.
In regards to the whole true mother-son relationship thing I plan on BOTH Shaak Ti and Kushina playing that role…however there will be times when Kushina will get somewhat Jealous of Shaak Ti since she was such a big part of Naruto's life growing up.
As for the whole Naruto marching to Konoha with his army I won't be using that for the initial meeting between Naruto and his parents. However I do plan on something happening in the near future likely after the Chunin Exams that will be VERY similar to what you described.
Also as a little side note it would really help if you would break your reviews up into paragraphs regarding each specific thing you want to say. I appreciate your reviews but it is just kind of hard to read them when they are a single wall of text.
Reven 6666: I understand what you are saying but I am sticking by it. You have what could be considered gods in the form of THE ONES which are the basically the living embodiment of the force so why is it hard to believe that Kami interfering by bringing Naruto, Aayla, the 909th and some tech before her and then sending them to Naruto's dimension.
XxWildGeartXIIIxX: Thanks in regards to Naruto retaliating against Kumo, Kiri, and Iwa I would have to say no he won't. It was in the past and if Naruto were to retaliate it would be considered Revenge which goes against even the Grey Jedi Code. However that does not mean that he will sit back in regards to it, he will instead be on guard regarding Kumo, Kiri, and Iwa in the event they try anything which would be a HUGE mistake on their part.
Naruto and his people will Kind of revive Uzu in a sense that they are colonizing the area that Uzushio resided. Now in regards to the people basically accepting Aayla's appearance you pretty much answered your own question. They live in a world where people can do things and have appearances that could be considered supernatural or ALIEN in a sense so it's not that surprising to them that she has head tails or tentacles on her head.
To everyone else who reviewed that I didn't respond to I would like to say thank you for the support.
Kakashi stared in disbelief and shock and the blonde haired man standing before him. The spiky blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and whisker-like birthmarks on his cheeks confirmed that the man was the missing son of his sensei. Kakashi snaps out of his stupor after a moment "Naruto is that really you?" he asks confusing his team.
The pink haired girl stares at the shocked face of her sensei "Kakashi-sensei who is this person?" she asks wondering how her sensei knew him.
Kakashi looks down to one of his students "Sakura this young man is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze the missing son of Hokage-sama. On the night of his birth 18 years ago after the Kyuubi attack he disappeared right in front of his parents eyes" he explains.
The boy with the black hair resembling the rear end of a duck raises an eyebrow "How the hell could he have disappeared right in front of his parent's eyes? Also why has no one ever said anything about a lost son of the Hokage?" he questions finding the story ridiculous.
Kakashi glares slightly at the young teen hearing the disrespect in his tone "Sasuke you will drop that attitude this minute or I will report you for disobedience. As to how he could disappear in front of his parent's eyes it is believed to have something to do with a classified circumstance. As to why it has never been mentioned before it is out of respect for Hokage-sama and his wife Kushina-sama. Not only did their only child vanish less than an hour after his birth but they were also rendered sterile from over exposure to the Kyuubi's corrosive chakra" he says in a stern voice.
Naruto who had been standing off to the side listening to the group talk amongst themselves raises an eyebrow "I think my disappearance had something to do with my father sealing the Kyuubi in me. I hypothesize that something happened with the seal that transported me to the dimension I grew up in" he says causally shocking the group.
Kakashi stares at Naruto in shock that he knew about the Kyuubi, while his team stares in shock that the Kyuubi wasn't defeated but instead sealed within him. Kakashi manages to find his voice and asks "Wait you know about the Kyuubi being sealed within you?" he says with a shaky voice.
Naruto scratches cheek hearing this "Well yeah Hikari told me about the whole situation before she brought me and the others back to life and transported us back to this dimension" he says casually once more shocking the group.
Kakashi stares in disbelief once more "Who is Hikari and what do you mean brought you back to life?" he questions.
Naruto raises and eyerbrow "Oh that's right you don't know her real name. Hikari is Kami's real name and as for what I meant by she brought me back to life that is pretty self explanatory…I died in the dimension I grew up in" he says once more sounding as if he was talking about something casual like the weather. The group from Konoha is shocked even more hearing this causing Naruto to sigh "How about we head to Miss Tsunami's house and I will explain more there?" he suggest as the group then makes their way to Tazuna's house.
As the group walks Sakura notices the men wearing the white armor "Um Naruto-san who are all the people wearing the white armor?" she questions.
Naruto smiles hearing the question "They are all part of the group I lead the 909th Maelstrom Corps formerly of the Galactic Republic, and my brothers in all but blood" he says explaing who they are.
Kakashi's eyes widen hearing this "You mean that all this men follow you?" he asks a little shocked that his sensei's son had so many men under his command.
Naruto laughs here "Oh that's a good one this is only a SMALL portion of the 909th. The 909th consists of over 5,000 soldiers" he says with a smile. The group from Konoha is shocked to hear that Naruto has over 5,000 soldiers under his command.
As they continue to make their way towards Tazuna's house one of the trooper's walks up to Naruto and salutes "General we have rounded up the last of Gato's men and finished interrogating them. They have been gathered in the public square" he reports.
The eyes of Tazuna and the group from Konoha widen hearing this as Naruto just smiles "Very good Trapper lead the way" he says getting a nod from Trapper who begins leading the group to the village square where a crowd has gathered. The crowd notices Naruto and begins to cheer seeing the man who had helped their home so much in such a short time.
Naruto smiles seeing this and waves as he makes his way to a platform upon which 5 men are kneeling bound in ropes. Standing behind the men are 5 troopers with their blaster rifles held at attention. Naruto sees the men kneeling and narrows his eyes before turning to the crowd "People of Wave I am happy to present you the last of Gato's thugs that plagued your home!" he says getting a cheer from the crowd.
As the crowds cheers die down Naruoto begins again "These men have crimes consisting of but not limited to Murder, Extortion, Theft, and Slavery! These crimes combined with their various other crimes justify their execution. However I leave their ultimate fate up to you the people as this is your home do they live and possibly go on to commit more crimes or do they die!" he yells.
The crowd hearing this narrows their eyes and begins to chant "DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!" over and over before Naruto raises his hand to silence them.
After the crowd quiets down Naruto says "Very well you the people have spoken their sentence is DEATH!" he then turn to the troopers who one by one level their blaster rifles behind the heads of the condemned men. Naruto raises his hand before singing it down as the first trooper fires blasting a hole in the now dead man's head.
Naruto repeats this process three more times as three more men are executed. The last man glares at Naruto "You won't get away with this Gato and the rest of his men will come and kill all of you!" he yells.
Naruto holds off giving the signal for a moment before smirking "Let him come his fate shall be the same as the rest of his men…DEATH!" he yells before lowering his hand and giving the signal to end the man's life which the trooper does with a blaster bolt through the skull.
Naruto then turns to the crowd of people "This is the fate of those who side with a Tyrant like Gato. I swear to all of you that when he comes with his men all he will receive is JUSTICE for his crimes!" he yells getting more cheers from the crowd. Naruto then walks off the platform towards the group from Konoha and Tazuna.
Tazuna looks at Naruto in a little shock "Just what the hell has been happening since I left?" he asks.
Naruto smiles hearing this as he motions for the group to follow him which they do "My troops and I arrived a week ago after I received a vision from the force that we would be needed here and I would meet someone who could introduce me to my parents. When we arrived I saw one of Gato's thugs about to kill Tsunami and intervened. After she told us what had been happening in Wave I decided to help and since then my troops and I have been distributing food and medical supplies along with rounding up, interrogating, and executing all of Gato's thugs" he says explaining what has been happening.
The group is shocked to hear this and before long arrive at Tazuna's house which has two troopers standing guard by the door. The troopers seeing Naruto approaching salute "Welcome back General" they say.
Naruto nods in acknowledgement "At ease men, have there been any incidents?" he asks.
The trooper on the left shakes his head "No sir all has been quiet, General Secura arrived moments ago and from what we can tell has been helping Miss Tsunami prepare dinner" he says.
Naruto smiles hearing this "Good to hear and thank you for you hard work. Feel free to go get something to eat yourselves something to eat if you want I imagine that you must be pretty hungry" he says getting a nod from the troopers you walk off to do just that.
The group enters the house to hear Tsunami and another person who they can tell is female by the persons voice cooking dinner "Miss Tsunami we are back and your father has arrived" he says alerting them the women in the kitchen of their arrival.
A moment later Tsunami walks and smiles before walking over and giving her father a hug "Tou-san I am happy you are back safely" she says releasing her father from the hug.
Tazuna smiles "It's good to be back Tsunami although I have to say I am rather shocked by the state of the village compared to how it was when I left" he says.
Tsunami nods "It is all thanks to Master Uzumaki, Master Secura and their men" she says happily.
Tazuna raises an eyebrow hearing the way Tsunami announced Naruto's name "Who is Master Secura?" he asks before the group notices another woman step out from the kitchen. The group is shocked by the woman's appearance as she has blue skin and what appear to be two tails protruding from the back of her skull.
Naruto walks over to the woman and gives her a peck on the cheek before wrapping his arm around her waist and stand by her side "Allow me to introduce Aayla Secura a fellow Jedi Master…and my lover" he says with a smiles shocking those who didn't already know.
Aayla smiles and bows her head slightly "It is a pleasure to meet all of you" she says.
Kakashi stares at the woman in shock by not only her appearance but also the fact that she is in a relationship with Naruto "Hello I am Kakashi Hatake Jonin of Konoha, and this is my team Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sai" he says introducing himself and the teens with him who nod when their name is called.
Naruto nods hearing this "Well how about we have something to eat" he suggests getting nods as he, Aayla, and Tsunami go into the kitchen to grab the food.
A few minutes everyone including Tsunami's son Inari is seated at the and eating their food when Kakahsi looks to Naruto "Naruto I have to ask where have you been the last 18 years? No matter where everyone looked there was no sign of you" he asks.
Naruto lets a small smile come to his face "I am not surprised since I was not even in this dimension" he says shocking everyone. Naruto sighs before continuing "From what I have gathered after I disappeared I ended up on the steps of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant" he says confusing the group.
Sakura raises an eyebrow hearing this "What is the Jedi Temple and where is Coruscant?" she asks.
Naruto chuckles hearing this "The Jedi Temple is the home to the Jedi Order the peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic. Now as for where Coruscant is it is a planet in the Galactic Republic or to be more precise it is the center of the Republic since it is where the Galactic Senate and many other important groups are located" he says before reaching into his robes and pulling out a disk shaped device.
Naruto sets the disk shaped device on the table and pushes a button causing the device to emit a light that then projects what looks very similar to so kind of map in the air. Everyone besides Naruto and Aayla are amazed by the device getting a chuckle the two. Naruto then points to one dot in particular in the center of the map "That is the planet Coruscant and all the other dots are other planets that make up the Galaxy of where I ended up" he says.
The group is amazed hearing this as there are hundreds if not thousands of planets in the map. Naruto smiles before continuing "Anyway I ended being raised in the Jedi Order after they found at that I was force sensitive and began learning the ways of the Jedi and how to use the force" he says catching the groups interest.
Sasuke raises an eyebrow "What is the "Force"?" he questions wondering what it was.
Naruto chuckles hearing the question "Now that is a question that many have tried to answer over time but none have fully answered" he says mysteriously before continuing "The force surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the universe together. It can be used for great good or terrible evil depending on the wielder. However it is generally broken up into two sides the first being the Light Side used by the Jedi to bring peace, harmony, and understanding. Then there is the Dark side used by the Sith to bring chaos, destruction, and death" he explains.
Sakura raises an eyebrow "Wait you said that it is generally broken up into two sides the Light and the Dark, does that mean that there is a third side?" she asks finding the way he worded his explanation odd.
Naruto smiles hearing this "Very observant of you to notice that Sakura. To answer your question though yes there is a third side to the force the Grey Side. The Grey side is a combination of both the Light side and the Dark side of the force wielded in harmony. It has the strengths of both but the weaknesses of either and is easily the most difficult of the three to utilize. This is due to the near constant focus that needs to be maintained otherwise you could easily succumb to the dark side. Both Aayla and myself are Grey Jedi meaning we use the Light and sometimes the Dark side of the force to an extent at times" he once more explains.
The group nods their heads in understanding as Naruto continues his tale "Anyway during my learning I met Aayla and we became friends and were nearly inseparable. However as we got older we were separated when we became Padawans to our respective Masters. A Padawan is basically like yourselves and a Master is like said Padawans teacher like Kakashi is to you three" he says explaining the terms.
Naruto sighs before continuing "For the next few years Aayla and I barely saw each other except for the occasional times we ran into each other at the Jedi Temple. However at the age of 15 we underwent the trials and reached the rank of Jedi Knight, but it was six months later that everything changed and it was the beginning of the end so to speak" he says somberly.
Aayla puts her hand over the tops of Naruto's in support as she continues where he left off "A group of systems broke off from the Republic and became the Confederacy of Independent Systems and later declared war on the Republic" she explains shocking the group.
Aayla sighs before continuing "The Republic at the time had no forces to defend themselves with since for the last 1,000 years there had been peace and in the time the defense budget was reduced more and more to the point it was nearly non-existent. However at the time hope appeared in the form of the Clone Troopers like the ones you have seen with us. The Clone troopers were just that soldiers that were cloned from the DNA of a specific person and that rapidly grown and trained in a fraction of the time it would take to draft and train an army" she says shocking the group once more at the astonishing feat.
Naruto picks up from where Aayla left off "For the next 3 years Jedi lead the Clones into battle after battle against the droid forces of the Confederacy or "Separatists" if you will. In that three years thousands of Jedi lost their lives along with likely millions of clone troopers" he says once again shocking the group.
Sakura then thinks of something "What are Droids?" she asks.
Naruto sighs "Droids are basically machines that are programmed to do a variety o tasks ranging from those who are programmed to be helpers around the house, to those designed for battle and combat. The Separatists used Battle droids for its army, they were cost effective to manufacture, could be produced rapidly meaning a near endless supply of new troops, and never tired unlike the Republic forces. However they suffered from limited programming meaning they really weren't that smart and were only really effective when sent out on LARGE forces to basically overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers" he explains. The group nods hearing this while inwardly terrified of facing such a foe.
Naruto then clenches his fist "It was near the end of the war and the Republic was on the verge of victory when IT happened. The Separatists were on the ropes and had just lost two of their leaders due to the deaths of General Grevious, and Count Dooku who was a former Jedi turned Sith Lord. However unknown to everyone at the time the whole war had been a giant trap planned out by the Sith to destroy the Jedi Order and take control of the Galaxy" he says leaving the group speechless.
Aayla rubs the back of Narutos hand in support as he continues "The Sith Lord Darth Sidious turned out to be Chancellor Palpatine who was basically the Leader of the Galactic Senate. He orchestrated the whole war and then when the time was right…he ended it. He apparently had a secret order called "Order 66" instilled into the brains of the Clone troopers during their growth. When he issued this order it forced the Clones to carry it out…and kill the Jedi leading them" he says grimly.
The group gasps hearing this at the thought of the very troops that the Jedi fought alongside being forced to turn on them and kill them.
Aayla sighs "The Jedi never saw it coming and thousands of them all across the Galaxy were butchered by their own troops. I was among those that were killed when my own troopers turned on my. However the clone commander under my command named Bly fought the mind control and tried to warn me but it was too late and he was killed by his own brothers trying to warn me" she says sadly.
Naruto clenches the hand not being held by Aayla in remembrance of that moment "My own troops also received the order but were able to fight its control thanks to the bonds we formed in the three years that we fought side by side. However it was at that time that I felt the death of the thousands of Jedi through the force and it made me blackout" he says.
Tsunami who like Sakura has tears in her eyes manages to find her voice "What do you mean you could feel their deaths?" she asks fighting back the sobs.
Narut smiles weakly "It is like I said the Force connects us and those you can wield it are able to sense various things using it. This ranges from sensing possible danger, emotions, all the way to the death of fellow force users" he says stunning the group at just what that means.
Naruto continues his story "I woke up several hours later and after taking in everything that happened began to decide what to do but found out that the transport that myself and the 909th used to get to the world we were on was destroyed effectively stranding us there. We were basically sitting ducks for the enemy force that was bound to show up to deal with not only myself but also the 909th since they were effectively traitors for not carrying out their orders. It was a month later that the enemy arrived 20,000 strong compared to our force of 2,501 including myself" he says shocking the group at the odds.
Naruto smiles wistfully "We knew that we weren't going to make it out alive so we resigned ourselves to go down fighting and take as many of them with is as possible. In the battle that ensued I fought against the leader of the enemy forces a Sith lord named Darth Vader who was until recently a Jedi and good friend of mine named Anakin Skywalker" he says shocking not only the group but also Aayla as Naruto hadn't told her the details of his final battle yet.
Naruto continues to smile wistfully as he tells his story "The two of us clashed and after a battle that was one for the history books I threw the fight and allowed myself to be impaled on his blade" he tells once again shocking the group. Naruto chuckles before closing his eyes "Vader was just as shocked as all of you are but I explained to him that I knew I wasn't going to make it out alive…and I missed Aayla and wanted to be with her again" he says giving Aayla a kiss on the back of her hand.
Naruto chuckles a little "I said my final words to him, died, and later woke up in a white void with all of my men including those that died when our transport blew up, and was reunited with Aayla and her clone commander Bly. Then Kami appeared before us gave a whole speech about how she had been looking for me, gave us the choice to come back to life if I returned to this dimension and after doing so here we are" he says sounding rather casually near the end in regards to having met THE KAMI!
The group just sits there with their jaws hanging open at upon hearing that Naruto and his group met KAMI! Sasuke is the first to recover "Wait you mean that you met KAMI as in the GOD and she is a woman?" he asks.
Naruto raises an eyebrow in confusion "Um yeah, and of course Kami is a woman after all woman are stronger than man take childbirth for example" he says really unsure of why it is so hard to believe that Kami is a woman.
Sakura sits there for a moment before yelling "HELL YEAH KAMI IS A WOMAN!" nearly deafening everyone.
After the ringing in everyone's ears stops Naruto stand up with Aayla "Well if that is all for tonight I think we will go to bed for the night" he says before he and Aayla head upstairs to do just that leaving the rest of the group to take in everything they just learned.
*One Week Later*
It had been a week since the arrival of Kakashi's team and not much had happened. Tazuna worked on the bridge with his workman and part of the 909th helping sped the contrustion up quickly to the point that it would be finished in a few days. Kakashi had spent time training his team after informing Naruto and Aayla about their encounter with Zabuza Momochi a missing Nin from Kirigakure who was working for Gato.
After hearing this Naruto and Aayla along with Striker began to plan out how to handle this info and decied to give the man a chance to redeem himself after learning why he left Kirigakure. They had continued to help out around Wave like they had been.
Naruto was currently walking towards the bridge with Aayla, Striker, and around 24 troopers when he hears his comlink beep and he activates it "This is Naruto" he says.
He waits for a moment before he hears one of the guards stationed outside Tazuna's house respond "Sir just reporting that two of Gato's men made an attempt to likely take Miss Tsunami and her son hostage. However they never made it within 30 feet of the house before we put them down" he says.
Naruto nods hearing this "Very good Blitzer you and Tanker keep an eye out for anything else suspicious while remaining there" he orders getting a "Yes Sir!" before the comlink shuts off.
Naruto cracks his neck before looking at Aayla and his men "Looks like Gato is making his move we had better hurry" he says getting nods as the group quickens their pace to the bridge. When they group reaches the bridge they see Zabuza held in place by large dogs, Kakashi preparing to charge at him with a lighting covered fist, and a dome of what appears to be mirriors made of ice off to the side.
Naruto curses as he sees Kakashi about to end Zabuza's life "Kakashi stop!" he yells stopping Kakashi in his tracks.
Kakashi turns to see Naruto and his group "Naruto why did you stop me?" he questions.
Naruto and his group walk onto the bridge and stand near Kakashi "This fight is over Gato has betrayed Zabuza see for yourself" he says and points to behind Zabuza as the mist clears revealing Gato and a large force of around 200 bandits armed with swords, spears, axes, and other weapons.
Zabuza looks at Gato and snarls "Gato what is the meaning of this!" he yells in rage.
Gato sneers at Zabuza "It is just what it looks like you imbecile I am betraying you. I never intended to pay you and why should I when bandits are so much cheaper" he says mockingly before seeing Naruto, Aayla, and the troopers. He sneers before licking his lips seeing Aayal's exotic beauty "Men kill everyone except for the blue skinned chick as she will provide me with some Exotic Entertainment" he says lechouresly as the men charge.
Naruto is beyond pissed upon hearing what Gato just said "909th FIRING LINE!" he orders as the troopers immediately carry out his orders and form two lines with one kneeling and the other standing behind them. They level their blasters at the charging bandits and wait for the order "WIPE THEM OUT BUT LEAVE GATO TO ME!" Naruto yells unclipping his red bladed lightsaber and activating it as the troopers open fire. The azure bolts of death slam into the attacking force in a near constant stream hitting the bandits in various places and riddling them with blaster burns and holes.
As the bandits fall Naruto charges through them his lightsaber glowing bloody crimson and reaches a shocked Gato before swinging and severing the little man's legs at the knees causing him to scream in pain. As Gato begins to fall Naruto slashes twice more severing his arms at the elbow once more eliciting a scream of pain from the man.
Naruto then stares down at the limbless form of Gato and holds out his arm with his hand in a cupping motions and begins to use the force to choke Gato "You come to this village and try to enlave it's people, you then threaten to enslave the woman I love and defile her, what do you have to say for yourself!" Naruto yells.
Gato who is gasping for air manages "Please…I will…Give…You..Whatever…You Want…Just don't..Kill Me!" he pleads while trying to breathe.
Naruto glares as the man for a moment "Not Interested" he snarls our before using the force to crush the greedy little wannabe tyrant's windpipe and spine killing him. Naruto lets the now dead Gato fall to the ground and deactivates his lightsaber before clipping it to his belt and walking back over to the others.
Naruto looks at Zabuza who is free from Kakashi's dogs "You have a choice now Zabuza you can either die or you can leave this place with the young man accompanying you and live your life" he states giving him a choice.
Zabuza thinks for a minute before smirking "Kid my client betrayed me what the hell do you think I am going to do" he says.
Naruto chuckles hearing this "That's what I thought Zabuza" he says as a boy with long black hair grabs him and the two leave.
*A few days later*
Naruto, Aayla, and Striker stand at the end of the now completed bridge which Tazuna had named "The Great Naruto Bridge" despite Naruto's please for him not to. Across from them stood Kakashi and Team 7 "Well are you coming back with us Naruto?" Kakashi asks.
Naruot just shakes his head "Not at this time Kakashi there are still a few things I need to ctake care fo here. However I will be arriving in Konoha within a few days most likely the same day you get back" he says.
Kakashi nods hearing this "Very well I will let your parents know that you have returned" he says with a smile seen behind his mask.
Naruto chuckles hearing this "Thank you Kakashi and I look forward to finally meeting them" he says before they say their farewells for now and Team 7 departs.
Naruto then turns to Tazuna and smiles "Now where were we in our talks my friend…" he says as the group begins to discuss various things and head back to Tazuna's house.
*Konoha Hokage's Office: A Few Days Later*
Kakashi and his team had made it back to Konoha and were currently giving their mission report to Minato Namikaze the Yondaime Hokage.
As Minato listens to the report his mind wanders to his still missing son Naruto. It had been 18 years since he disappeared and in that time both Kushina and he had suffered. It was bad enough that their only child vanished in front of their eyes but they also find out that they were now both sterile do to an overexposure to the Kyuubi's corrosive chakra in such close proximity. This had devastated them especially Kushina.
It was an initial shock that Kushina was also rendered sterile due to having been the previous Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi. However it turned out that the seal that used to contain the Kyuubi filtered the corrosive chakra into her body but the breaking of the seal flooded her system with the unfiltered chakra for a brief moment and rendered her infertile. He on the other hand had just spent to much time in close proximity to the Kyuubi when it was released and it seeped into his own body and reproductive organs sterilizing him.
It was only due to the near constant support of not only Minato himself but also Kushina's best friends Mikoto Uchiha, Hitomi Hyuuga, Tsunade Senu, and Tsume Inuzuka that she overcame her depression. It also helped that when Hitomi gave birth to her daughter Hinata two years after Naruto's disappearance that she named Kushina as Hinata's godmother.
Kushina spent a lot of time with Hitomi help her and Hiashi who was Hitomi's husband take care of Hinata. Minato was extremely grateful to his former teammate for letting Kushina help take care of little Hinata.
When Hitomi suddenly passed away after giving birth to Hinata's younger sister Hanabi Kushina was extremely saddened for the loss of her friend. However she upheld her duties as Hinata's Godmother and helped Hiashi who was stricken with grief over the loss of his wife raise Hianta. It actually got the point that Hiashi needed some time away from Hinata who reminded him so much of Hitomi and sent Hinata to live with Kushina and himself for a time.
Overtime Hiashi overcame his grief and Hinata ended up moving back into her home but still spent half the week at their house as she had come to see Kushina as a second mother.
Minato was broken out of his thought when he hears Kakshi clears his throat "Oh sorry about that Kakashi what did you say?" he asks.
Kakashi mentally wonders if this is what Gai feels like when he does the exact same thing. He then clears his throat "I said that I also made a rather shoicking find during the mission…I found Naruto" eh says dropping the bomb so to speak on Minato.
Minato sits there in shock for a moment as the words register before slamming his hands on his desk "WHAT WHERE IS HE!" he yells wanting to know where his son was. While Kami had visited him and Kushina and told them that she found Naruto she didn't give them any details about his life or when he would be returning.
Kakashi waves his hands in a placating manner "He had a few things to take care of in Wave but said he would be here around the day we got back" he says trying to calm his former sensei down.
Minato collapse back into his chair for a moment before signaling to one of his Anbu to go get Kushina. Mianto then turns back to look at Kakashi "I hope you are telling the truth Kakashi otherwise I will put you through horrors so unspeakable that they would make sending you on a suicide mission to destroy Iwa by yourself look tame" he warns
Kakashi gulps hearing this and mentally prays for Naruto to hurry up and arrive. The doors suddenly fly open and in walks a red haired woman with violet colored eyes "WHERE IS HE!" she yells looking at the group.
Minato smiles "He isn't here yet Kushina-chan, Kakashi said that he ran into him in Wave and that Naruto said he would be arriving around the same day Kakashi and his team got back" he says hoping to calm his wife.
Kushina's eyes widen before she glares as Kakashi "You had better be right Kakashi…OR ELSE!" she warns as her hair begins to float behind her in the shape of 9 tails. Minato and Kakashi shiver seeing this as even without the Kyuubi in her she still somehow was able to pull off that intimidation technique.
The grou0 stands there for a moment before an Anbu wearing a weasel mask bursts into the office "HOKAGE-SAMA! There is some sort of strange white fying machine hovering above the Hokage Tower!" he yells causing the trios eyes to widen as they rush to the roof of the building.
When they reach the roof of the building they see a strange machine with what appears to be two slanted wings, and two ball shaped portions sticking out slightly from the side near the nose of the machine. The machine begins to come closer to the them before landing on top of the building and they can see and white armored man in the ball like part, and one inside what appears to be the control center of the craft.
They take up defensive stances when the sides of the machine open and another white armored man steps out followed by tow figures wearing brown hooded cloaks that hide their faces. The figure that appears to be a woman judging from her figure lowers her hood shocking Minato and Kushina with her blue skin and head tails.
They look to the armored man who takes of his helmet revealing his features to them before they then looks to the figure with his hood still up. The figure reaches up and lowers his hood revealing his spiky blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and whiskered cheeks.
Minato and Kushina's eyes begin to water seeing the figure as he smiles "Father, Mother…I'm Back" he says revealing himself to be their no longer missing son Naruto Uzumaki.
