Hey everyone sorry for the long wait for the next chapter. I also thank Angel-The-Hedge for helping me with this chapter. Here it is hope you enjoy it.
The people of Seishingakure were going about their business getting ready for the spirit festival. It was a special day that honored the fallen soldiers that gave their lives for the village. Other villages like Konoha and Iwagakure don't celebrate such an honorable holiday for their fallen comrades since all they have is an honor stone. Where as villages like Kumo proudly celebrate it as they care about their ninjas. Sasuke and Naruto were surprised at how much effort the people were putting into it as they were driven towards the Uchiha and Uzumaki compound. They could see that the village was really busy getting everything ready, delicious foods being cooked, people getting things ready in the cemetery, but most of all they could see the children running around dressed in costumes in honor of Shinigami and Kami.
"What's going on?" asked Naruto. "is there some kind of party going on?"
Raiden chuckled "well kind of, you see its the annual Spirit Festival."
"Spirit festival?" Sasuke asked wondering. "I've never heard of it before"
Rosemary looked towards the Uchiha and gave a sincere smile, "its the day we honor our fallen comrades since the founding of the village. As you can see everyone here is in a joyous mood and looking forward to it."
The two boys could see the village was indeed decorated for celebration. From what they could tell it was a much more happy place than the leaf. Because unlike the leaf, the spirit village always stood for what was right, and things like discrimination, prejudice, and hatred for other creatures such as demons, spirits, angels, and other human beings were strictly forbidden. Naruto, however was happy more happy than he had ever been. It was like Kami was giving him a second chance to live the life he wanted.
"sounds like a good idea" Naruto stated proudly. "all the other villages should have something like this."
"actually they do" the cyborg master answered.
Naruto looked at his former sensei confused. He didn't know that other villages besides this one would host a holiday like this. Seeing the confusion on his former student's face he chuckled as he began to tell him about how only the villages of Kumogakure and Kirigakure celebrated it. While the explanation was going on Sasuke was busy rocking the three kids to sleep. Itachi was quiet as was expected of an Uchiha, while his other two siblings Hogoromo and Mito were a little fussy like their blonde mother.
"We're here" said Rosemary as she parked the car.
Sasuke and Naruto went wide eyed at the sight of the compound. It was about the size of the old Uchiha Clan compound and Hyuuga compound placed together. It was the largest that covered at least the size of two lots of lands. Bearing above the compound gate was the Uchiha fan and the Uzumaki swirl.
"Well I'll be! what a sight" Sasuke complimented taking in awe of the compound. "this must have taken long to build"
"your telling me" groaned Raiden. "ten long months after we rescued the Uchiha and the Uzumakis"
"Oh stop whining" chuckled Rosemary.
"Enough of this let's go meet the clans okay" Naruto whined as Itachi was fussing in his carriage.
Naruto knelt down and picked up his son "hey hey its okay" the blonde said hugging Itachi close. "shhhh its okay mommy was just getting a little mad at Uncle Raiden and Aunty Rose for arguing."
"We don't argue!" Rose and Raiden shouted in unison.
"I rest my case" the blonde laughed as he walked to the compound gate but soon found himself blocked.
Sasuke wondered why the gates wouldn't let them pass until a robotic voice asked them for their identification. This made the Uchiha back up preparing to attack with a chidori to electricute it until Raiden grabbed his wrist.
"Easy there Sasuke its just the compound identification system, it asked for the clan members identification to allow passage." the cyborg explained.
Sasuke and Naruto were shocked but also impressed with how much technology in the village has advanced.
"Please verify your identification, failure to comply will result into immediate annihilation." the voice stated.
Raiden stepped forward to address the defense system, "I am Raiden Senju Kaguya, Head of the Defense Council and Military army of Seishingakure, and I've come to seek access to the Uchiha-Uzumaki clan compound."
Then it was Rosemary's turn as the young woman stood next to her husband.
"I am Rosemary Senju nee Soto, Head analyst of Seishingakure's Intelligence and Military Analyst Department and I too seek access to the compound."
"Identifying Raiden and Rosemary Senju" the voice said scanning them. "Welcome Lord and Lady Senju"
The gates opened allowing only Raiden and his wife to go through. Once through the gate shut itself as the robot's infered eye gazed down upon the young Uchiha family.
"State your identification young travelers." it demanded.
The blonde not fearing a simple machine as he faced death many times in lifetime from his early childhood to the Fourth Great Ninja War stepped forward. Standing proud he stood before the machine and proudly stated his name.
"My name is Naruto Uchiha nee Uzumaki-Namikaze, son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, great great nephew of Mito Senju nee Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju and brother of Menma Namikaze of Konoha."
"And I am Sasuke Uchiha-Uzumaki" Sasuke stated stepping forward. "the son of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha, brother of Itachi Uchiha, and great great nephew of Madara Uchiha"
The infered eye scanned them both and their data showed that they were telling the truth.
"Identity identified and confirmed Welcome Lord and Lady Uchiha-Uzumaki" the voice stated as it granted them access to the compound.
The happy family walked forth towards the main house of the entire compound. Once inside the sight would make you mouth drop in awe. The compound was larger than the Uchiha district back in Konoha. The district contained over one hundred houses, thirty dojos, ninja supply stores, a large serenity garden, and a few warehouses full of weapons. Across the lake near the district was a large training ground around the size of the Forest of Death, it was also surrounded by a large forest that they could tell was perfect for privacy when one decides to do some private training.
"Enjoying the sights?" Raiden laughed. "lets go the clans will be happy to meet their new clan heads."
The Uchiha-Uzumaki couple headed into the district as they could see many Uzumakis and Uchihas interacting as if they were family. The sounds of laughter and conversation, the sight of children having fun, Seishingakure was truely a peaceful place from what he has seen. Soon people began to stare at the family, they could see that one of them was an Uchiha due to the black hair and the way he presented himself. But the blonde they didn't know as they've never seen him before, but they could see the Yondaime Minato Namikaze in him.
"Why are they staring at us?" Sasuke asked as he looked nervous.
"I think they recgonized you as an Uchiha darling" Naruto laughed.
Itachi was still as emotionless like his father in every aspect as he was unsure and cautious of the people around him and his family. His younger siblings Mito and Hogoromo were more outgoing like his mother as they were loving the sights and the attention that they were given.
Raiden and Rose waved to the citizens as the people waved back in praise for their heros of the last great war. Lots of children wanted their autograph, men wanted Raidens as the girls wanted Rose's autograph. The hero couple signed them for the children as their faces lit up with excitement.
Pressing onto the compound they came across the doors that led to the main compound of the main members of the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans. Standing guard at the main door was an Uchiha with short black hair, he wore a standard military uniform with a bit of cyborg and nano technogology curtiousy of Naomi Hunter. The other was an Uzumaki woman with long red hair, with the same military cyborg uniform. The two bowed their heads to Raiden and Rose as they were allowed passage. They didn't let the guests through as their swords were pointed at them. Naruto snarled as they had the nerve to point those things at them especially at his children.
"Put those swords down this instant I will not tolerate you pointing weapons at my children or me" Naruto growled.
"Same with me" snarled Sasuke in agreement.
The guards were ready to spear them for their insolants until Rose demanded that she will not tolerate any harm to come to the babies that her family was holding. The guards noticing the infants quickly retracted their swords.
"forgive us my lady" they said to Rose.
Rose sighed "these two mean you no harm you are standing before Sasuke Uchiha-Kaguya, Lord of the Uchiha and Kaguya clans, and Lord Naruto Uzumaki-Uchiha, Lord of the Uzumaki and Senju clans."
The guards quickly bowed as they heard the names of the greatest heros of the Fourth Great Ninja War not to mention the sons of Lord Fugaku and Lady Kushina.
"Forgive us Uzumaki-sama and Uchiha-sama" they begged.
"Its fine" Naruto smiled. "BUT POINT ANY WEAPONS AT MY CHILDREN AGAIN AND ILL FEED YOUR SORRY CARCASS TO KYUUBI" His now long blonde hair spread into nine strands like his former mother Kushina making the guards sweat.
'scary just like Kushina-sama' the uchiha guard said shivering.
Sasuke laughed as he took his scary but sexy blonde husband along with his loving children with him into the clan compound to meet up with the clans.
Konohagakure
Things were not going great for the leaf village since the desertion of Sasuke and Naruto Uchiha nee Uzumaki. Konoha was living in its own version of hell. The sun no longer shined over them as Naruto was their loving ray of sunshine that always smiled no matter what. His outgoing and happy personality was one of the things that got everyone through the day.
However now that he and Sasuke were gone Konoha lost most of it's treaties and financial trades with other countries. The other villages and countries such as Kumo, Iwa, Kiri, Suna, Spring, Moon, and Wave. Even some of the smaller nations such as Tea and Iron country became hostile to them for the mistreatment of one of the greatest heros to ever fight a war. While Iwa and Kumo still despised the Yellow Flash for their defeat in the Third Great War they came to respect his son Naruto for the guts to defend and work with them even though they were enemies of the Leaf.
Suna and Kiri were the most hostile of the great nations as the Kazekage was close friends with the blonde. Naruto saved Gaara from himself, from the bloodlust that he had to deal with as a child. Naruto showed him that revenge isn't always the right path to take, and that sometimes the love of family and friends will give one the strength to protect what they love the most. Kiri's Mizukage, Mei Terumi was one of the women that absolutely adored the firey and flaming passion of the boy and his determination to stand up for whats right made him one of her favorites. She was also hoping to one day marry him only for him to escape her grasp and fall into the Uchiha's hands. However despite the hosility of the villages towards the Leaf village, they didn't open war upon the land of fire as they knew Naruto would never want that. That and the fact that Gaara and Kankouro were Itachi's godfathers and Mei Terumi and Temari were Mito and Hogoromo's godmothers.
Wave and Spring country which honored Naruto as their hero and savior nullified their treaties and contracts. Wave was one of Konoha's main essentials for rich resources and Spring was the leaf's source of stocks and supplies and thanks to the nullification of the contracts, the leaf's resources were now at a very minimal number.
"Urgh! this is so infuriating!" groaned Menma as he sat behind his desk.
Missions were now at an all time low for Konoha. The profits were getting smaller and smaller with each small mission that they were barely able to get. The most they could get right now were D or C Rank missions and even they weren't enough for anyone. The council have been at his throat whining about having less power and profit than they used to. Menma was now starting to regret being chosen to be Hokage. At first it was fine, as everything was going smoothly, then it took a turn for the worst when his older brother became like a brooding Uchiha who didn't get what he wanted.
'Damn you Naruto if you'd just accept the judgement of the village and lived your life the way you had to in the village then nothing like this would have happened.' he growled as he was trying to get through most of the paperwork. Soon there was a knock on the door as Kakashi and Jiraiya entered.
"Hokage-sama" Kakashi bowed.
"Any news on Naruto and Sasuke? or about Seishingakure?" Menma asked desperately.
Jiraiya shook his head "No Menma I'm sorry we couldn't find any info on Naruto and Sasuke but we did find info about The Spirit Village. Apparently its location is in Iron Country and its foundation is built upon the ruins of the old palace of the samurai warlord Yuki Dragoom. The foundation however is way larger than the palace compound could ever be. The surrounding area is sealed off with a barrier seal that combines with a chakra drainage seal that makes who ever enters the village only have the bare amount of chakra to live."
'Amazing making its own citizens live with small amounts of chakra but not enough to fight. What a way to keep its village and people safe by rendering threats both inside and out useless.' the hokage thought.
"Not just that Menma-sama but we also discovered that the village has more seal masters than any other village. Their sealing abilities rivals that of the famed extinct Uzumaki Clan." Kakashi explained. "But what's worse is that they have somehow invented a new semi biotic body suits for their ninja that increases their senses and abilities ten fold."
Menma stood up in horror "are you sure? I mean are you absolutely sure?" He was scared of someone having that kind of power that could pose a threat to the leaf village.
"I believe that it's in the best interest of this village to snuff them out before they destroy us especially since they now have the Kyuubi jinchuuriki and the last Uchiha in their grasp" Jiraiya stated.
"so what are you suggesting?" he asked his sensei.
Jiraiya's face looked grim as he couldn't believe that he had to say this, "We must exterminate Naruto and Sasuke and then retrieve the children. They are Konoha ninja and the Sharingan and the Mokuton are Konoha bloodlines."
Menma was unsure of what he was told, Naruto was his brother and he loved him very much regardless of what he's done. But he had to think of the village first and the safety of it and its citizens must always come first. He wasn't sure of what to do but for now he must try to prevent Naruto's demise.
"Look I am sure that you think that Naruto is a threat but he's not like that. I've grown up with him and though he may be cold and stubborn he's still a good man deep inside" Menma stated calmly.
"Regardless Hokage-sama" said Kakashi. "A hokage can't let their personal feelings interfere with the mission and the safety of the village even you know that."
Jiraiya nodded, "that's right please Menma you must think of your village first as every hokage must do as part of their job."
Menma tried to figure out a counter arguement but could find none. Sometimes he wished that being hokage wasn't always so complicated. With a heavy sigh he had to agree with his senseis, regardless of what he felt the village must come first.
"Very well Kakashi I want you to head out with Jiraiya to find more info on the new Spirit village and I'll call a council meeting to discuss the situation." Menma said firmly.
The two men nodded their heads as they bowed and left the hokage's office leaving Menma to his thoughts.
Namikaze Compound District
Kushina no Name as she was now called due to her disownment from the Uzumaki Clan and the annullment of her marriage to Minato Namikaze making it forbidden for her to take on the Namikaze name was sitting in the living room with her friends. It had been over three months since her former son now Lord Uzumaki left the village with her grandchildren, grandchildren that she would never be able to see again. She went into a deep depression that was torture to herself and to those around her. Mila Hyuuga and Tsume Inuzuka tried so desperately to try and break her out of it but had trouble failing.
"My baby hates me" she cried as she tried to drink her tea.
"Hey hey its okay" said Mila as she tried to comfort her friend. "Its not your fault, you did what you thought was right. You knew what the village needed, you acted like a true kunoichi"
"She's right Kushi-chan that brat Naruto was just angry because he didn't get what he wanted." said Tsume.
"Not only that but he had the gall to ban you from seeing your grandchildren again" growled Mila. "The nerve of that boy"
Kushina tried to justify her son's actions but for some reason she just couldn't bring herself too. But she had to try, at least for her son.
"While I do agree with you on my son's dark attitude. I feel like he was in his right." Kushina stated shocking her two oldest friends. "I mean Naruto worked hard to become Hokage and Minato and I just took that away from him, thinking that he belongs on the battlefield like some kind of weapon."
"He is our most powerful shinobi" said Tsume. "He's the second coming of the Six Path, he brought peace to the world and it's his job to keep the peace whether he likes it or not."
"You got that right Tsume" said Minato as he came into the living room. "Your right about Naruto, he has an obligation to the rest of the world."
Minato was against his son being Hokage at first because he believed that his son had a higher calling that was way more important than the hokage seat. After all his son became the next Rikudo Sanin and he was proud of that, his son would make sure that the peace that they achieved would be permanent. But somehow that didn't happen as his son refused to talk or interact with anyone after his dream was crushed, he thought Naruto was acting like a child. Plus his son's husband Sasuke had the gall to insult him and wife calling them demonic and horrible parents. But he couldn't worry about that now since they had to work on retrieving Naruto and Sasuke from the newly risen village. But he had to make sure that he did it carefully.
"Kushi-chan your friends are right Naruto must come home he has a duty to the world and the leaf village" Minato said softly as he placed a comforting hand on his crying wife.
"But is it worth it Minato?" she cried. "Is it worth having our son hate us? to have our grandchildren growing up hating us for what we did to their mother?"
"If its the price we must pay for the continuation of peace and the safety of the leaf then so be it" stated Minato grimly as he looked at his distraught wife.
"That's not the only thing you have to worry about" said Mila as she sipped her tea.
Everyone looked at her as the former Yondaime looked over at the Hyuuga matriarch with a confusing look.
"What are you talking about Mila?" Minato asked.
Mila placed her tea cup on the table as she sighed, "Ever since Naruto was revealed to have the Byakugan things back at home have been hectic."
"What do you mean hectic?" asked Tsume.
Mila chuckled "hehe well..."
*Flashback*
It was late in the afternoon as Hiashi Hyuuga announced that there was going to be a council meeting of great importance. Since the discovery of Naruto's ability to use the Byakugan he knew that it would cause a serious uproar among the Hyuuga. At first he couldn't care less about the problem but now that the blonde has left the village, it soon became a very serious problem. They always made sure to protect their clan bloodline but now that Naruto has it and is in another village, there was no way to avoid it now.
The conference room was currently filled up to the brim with all the elders and main house members. The side branch no longer lived in the Hyuuga compound since Naruto and Sasuke left them the old Uzumaki-Uchiha clan district along with a fund of 70,000,000 Ryo. To the main branch it was disgraceful that their slaves would abandon the main branch, at first they tried using the Cage Bird Seal only to discover that Naruto removed it, thus their slave branch were now indebited to the blonde.
"This better be important Hiashi-sama" scowled Honoka, an elderly woman in her late fifties with a sour look on her face.
"It's terrible Honoka-sama. Our side branch has decided to live away from the Hyuuga compound. Not only that but the Cage Bird Seal has been removed," Hiashi stated with a slight tremble in his voice, still trying to be the strong Hyuuga clan leader.
Honoka was a stern but fair woman, but she was always one for traditions as she was one of the Hyuugas that believed that the clan must marry into higher classes and that the clan's reputation and values must be upheld at all costs. But the news of the side branch leaving the Hyuuga compound was something that she was not happy about. Ever since the founding of the clan the side branch was always the slave branch to protect the main house. That was one of the reason why they had the Cage Bird Seal created. But now that word has spread that Naruto removed the seal himself was rubbing salt in the wounds of the elders.
"and what do you plan on doing about this dear nephew" she scowled. "your the clan head so its your job to fix it."
Hinata Inuzuka nee Hyuuga who listened to the clan meeting so far was trying to think about what insight she could give to the meeting. She was angry at Naruto for the way he was treating everyone especially his own mother. The boy she once knew was no more, she knew that and she knew that his children will be the same way. But she will be damned if she loses her cousin Neji and the side branch. Clearing her throat she sat up to state her opinion,
"pardon me but I must state my opinion." Hinata stated.
One of the clan elders looked at Hinata "the clan recognizes Lady Inuzuka please speak your concerns."
Hinata bowed her head, "thank you honored member as you know that Naruto did in fact leave the village along with the heirs to the Uchiha and Uzumaki Clan, and I have to agree that we should be more worried about the safety of the children. Cause remember the Sharingan and the Mokuton are Konoha bloodlines"
"That's true Hinata-sama" one of the elders said firmly. "But why should we the Hyuuga clan worry about the so called children of the Uchiha and the Kyuubi jinchuuriki shouldn't that be the hokage's problem?"
He was one of the people that didn't like the Uzumaki boy, he was a jinchuuriki that's true and although he didn't deserve the life he had to suffer, but he was completely disrespectful of authority especially the hyuuga elders and that was the main reason he hated him.
The Inuzuka Matriach sneered but kept herself under control, "true Elder-sama that isn't our problem but due to the circumstances it has become the Hyuuga clan's problem."
One of the elders responded with a sneer of his own, "really Hinata-sama? and how could it possibly be our problem last time I checked the Uzumaki boy isn't a Hyuuga so its seems to be that this meeting has become a waste of time."
"At a recent event, Naruto has shown that he carries arts that belong solely to the Hyuuga clan bloodline," Hinata admitted, causing the clan elders to gasp in shock and outrage that an outsider dare to contaminate their clan's skills.
The elders started talking in hush tones before one of them turned their gaze to Hinata once more.
"You have brought this to our attention. What do you plan to do Hinata-sama," the elder asked, waiting for the Inuzuka Matriach to speak her mind to her clan.
"I was just getting to that before you interuppted elder-sama"." Hinata said in a firm tone as she gave a superior look that many Hyuugas give when they mean buisness. "Now coming back to Naruto, we found out he possesses the Byakugan."
"WHAT?" the elders screamed as they were enraged that an outsider especially their jinchuuriki possesses their bloodline.
"He must be hunted down the Byakugan must be protected at all costs." one of the elders screamed.
"That's right our bloodline is in danger" stated another female elder.
"SILENCE!" shouted Hiashi as the clan elders simmered down.
Hinata folded her hands as she stated to the clan that they can't do anything yet as Naruto and his family are citizens of the Village Hidden in the Spirit. That statement alone injured the Hyuuga pride but also infuriated the clan members as well that the Byakugan was now lost to them to another village, and one that they barely know anything about.
"Then we should do something" Hononka snarled. "That brat must either be taken back to this village forcefully or be killed either way our bloodline must be kept safe."
"and you shall get your wish" Hinata smiled shocking the clan especially Hiashi. "The chunin exams are going to be hosted in that village in the following months so we will send a few Hyuugas to locate and detain Naruto for the theft of our bloodline."
"Along with the children as well" stated Hiashi. "after all Naruto's children might also inherit the Byakugan."
One of the younger main branch members, Hanabi, Hianta's little sister felt that doing this would not only endanger the clan but also it was mean war between the Hyuuga and the Uzumaki-Uchiha clans. Plus she didn't know if the Spirit village would back up Naruto and Sasuke or not. But still she had to do something and prevent her clan from doing something stupid that would get them all killed.
"If I may?" Hanabi asked as the clan gazed upon the young heiress. "if we do that not only would we be commiting a crime of kidnapping heirs from another clan but we would also cause a war between Konoha and Seishingakure, please reconsider."
"And why should we reconsidere the safety of this clan, Hanabi-sama?" a member of their clan elder sneered as they all continued to gaze at the young heiress.
"If a war starts, we all goners. We won't be backed up on either due to the fact that our allies have disbanded from Konoha and become allies to the Spirit village." Hanabi stated in a firm tone.
Hiashi was not one to start a war but the fact of the matter is that since Naruto has the Byakugan even though he wasn't a Hyuuga was considered theft by the law of the clan. But his daughter did have a point, so for the time being they had to plan this very carefully.
Hanabi looked towards her older sister with a pleading look in her eyes. "please Hinata please you were friends with the blonde, you know him more than anyone. Please tell me your not willing to start a war just because Naruto can use all three eye bloodlines."
Honoka coughed as she looked at Hanabi with wide eyes, the same with the rest of the elders, "what do you mean that he has all three eye bloodlines?"
The young heiress revealed that his six path bloodline allows Naruto to use any of the three eye bloodlines, understand any seal, and plus the fact that potent chakra was exteremely rare now a days. The more info about the Six Path bloodline that she revealed the more greedy looks appeared on the elders faces.
"And his children will inherit these abilities?" one of the elders smirked.
"I don't know" Hanabi replied not liking the looks on their faces. She then turned back to her older sister's face. "Please Hinata-chan please reconsider, I know that Naruto has hurt you and has turned into what you might call a brooding Uchiha. But please this is nothing to start a war over."
"You would rather have our clan name be tainted by the holder of Kurama, than held in the hands of only the Hyuuga clan," Hinata said, looking at her little sister with the most coldest eyes ever,
"I would rather let him have the bloodlines than cause a meaningless war," Hanabi stated as she turned to leave the room.
"Where are you going, Hanabi-sama?!" one of the clan elders asked with an angry tone for the words that one of their own would use.
"I would rather be in the Spirit Village with Naruto who helped us gain our allies in the first time than with a clan who rather have innocent children die for the sake of our blasted bloodline," Hanabi cried out as she left the compound.
Hinata sighed "don't worry she'll be back now I believe we all agree that if Naruto can't be forced back to the leaf village then the only chance we have in saving our bloodline is take back the children and kill Naruto."
The Hyuuga elders and Hiashi were all in agreement as it was either have Naruto come back willingly along with the heirs to the Uchiha, Uzumaki, Senju, Kaguya, and Hyuuga clans or kill the blonde and Sasuke. The clan elders soon disbanded as Hinata returned to the Inuzuka compound to be with her husband. She felt horrible that it came to down to this, but the care of the Hyuuga clan must come first.
*end flashback*
Kushina and her friends were shocked as Mila finished her tale of what happened at the Hyuuga compound. Tsume was furious that the Hyuuga would even decide such a thing, including Kushina herself. Minato however was in agreement with his old friend after all considering that Naruto's children were also Namikazes as well. Even though he already had grandchildren from his youngest son Menma, Naruto's children were considered the most powerful due to them being the children of the second Six Path Sage. Along with the fact that he wondered what new power or bloodline will form since the children had the blood combination of the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Namikaze, Kaguya, and Hyuuga clans. Such a powerful combination under their control would further fuel the power of the leaf. But it was now out of their hands since the Uzumaki-Uchiha clan were now citizens of Iron Country and Seishingakure and he didn't want to risk another war.
"As much as you hate it Kushina, I have to agree with Hiashi about Naruto." said Minato with a firm tone.
Kushina looked aghast at her former husband, "Minato truely you can't mean that? Naruto maybe caused problems for the leaf and turned moody because he was denied the postion of Hokage but it still doesn't give us the right to dictate the future of him or his children." she said trying to stay strong.
"Minato may have a point Kushi-chan" Tsume replied. "The children do contain the bloodlines of many Konoha clans including your clan as well. After all didn't you say you wanted mini Naruto's running around the village with goofy grins."
The red head kunoichi thought back as she remembered that was what she wanted. She also wanted the old Naruto back, since the man he became now scared her. As a parent and a grandmother she had to put aside her personal feelings and think about the future of the new generation. After all Naruto's children were her grandchildren no matter what Naruto says and if they hate her for trying to control what their future would be then so be it. The only problem was the risk of enraging the Uchiha and the Nine Tails. True she can use the chakra chains to restrain Kurama, but dealing with the second coming of Madara would make it extremely hard.
"Can we risk another great war and many shinobi turning their backs on the leaf village?" Kushina asked.
"We may have to do this in order to protect Konoha, Kushina," Minato stated as his eyes turned into a stare only meant for a clan leader.
"I understand and I will support that the needs of Konoha must come first," Kushina stated with a heavy heart, knowing that her son and his husband may be killed but as long as her grandchildren got to be with their true village then there was nothing she could do about it.
Seishingakure: Uzumaki-Uchiha Clan Compound
Naruto and Sasuke arrived at the main part of the compound as Rose told them to wait outside while she and her husband go greet the elders of the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans before introducing them. Sasuke understood perfectly yet the Uzumaki was kinda impatient which runs in the Uzumaki family. Sensing his husband's impatience Sasuke bonked him on the head to get him to stay calm.
Naruto yelped as he rubbed his head "ouch damn it Sasuke you didn't have to hit me"
Sasuke bonked him again only this time it was for swearing in the front of their children, "no swearing in front of the kids Naruto I don't want them growing up swearing like a pissed off Uzumaki woman."
The blonde glared back but then took a deep breathe as he tried to keep himself from wanting to rip Sasuke a new one. But his husband did have a point about not wanting the children to exposed to the famous Uzumaki swearing at such a young age. Heck it was bad enough he had to grow up around Kushina and she always swore, but by Kami he won't let his children go through what he had to endure when he was their age.
"fine teme you win I won't swear in front of the kids" Naruto groaned.
Sasuke bonked him on the head for using his usual loving nickname.
"Naruto, that's a bad word to use in front of our children as well," Sasuke stated calmly before he pulled him close and kissed his forehead.
Naruto glared at his husband before he sighed against and leaned against him, his head lightly touching his shoulder.
Their three children looked at their parents before they looked around the new house with curious eyes. Itachi looked at the house with the usual Uchiha nonchalant stare while Mito and Hogoromo looked around, feeling the urge to explore this new place that they will call home.
Naruto and Sasuke watched their children take in the sites with a gentle smile on their faces.
"This will be our new home, huh?" Naruto asked gently as he closed his eyes.
"Yes, a place where we truly belong," Sasuke whispered into his husband's ear and lightly held Naruto's hand in his as he continued to watch the beautiful children they created together with Master Kurama's help, of course.
Raiden and Rose entered the main house of the elders of the two clans as Raiden knocked on the door. A rough but old face spoke out demanding who it was. Raiden laughed as he quickly replied.
"Honorary elders its us Raiden and Rose Senju." Raiden replied. "we've come to speak with you"
The large wooden doors were soon opened as they were greeted by the warmth and happiness of an Uzumaki elderly woman. She was in her late eighties as they could see, her once vibrant red hair was now dull, her once flawless skin was soon starting to show wrinkles. Her attire consisted of an old style kimono that was worn over her ninja attire outfit. But even though she was old she could still fight.
"Oh my Raiden its been a while since you and your wife have visited us please do come in" Yuki responded with a smile as she welcomed the couple in.
"Thank you" Rose said bowing her head in thanks.
The room consisted of 30 Uzumaki elders and 40 Uchiha elders, though many were in their late 70's only a few were over a hundred years old. The council of elders was made up for 70 members and three high elders which were Kenshin Uzumaki, a 107 year old man, Hitomi Uchiha, a 78 year old woman, and finally Kagome Uchiha-Uzumaki who was the age of 123 years old. She was the eldest of the entire council and her wisdom knew no bounds.
"Ah welcome Raiden and Rose" said Kagome. "Its been ages since we last talked."
"Indeed it has Kagome-baachan" Raiden smiled. "But we are here to reveal great news that will make you jump for joy in no seconds flat."
The elders looked at eachother and wondered what Raiden could be talking about. Sure they were old but they were too old and to alert to be surprised. So they thought they could take on any surprise that Raiden had in store for them.
"Well then Lord Senju" said of the younger elders. "We are all looking forward to what you have to say."
Raiden sat down in his seat alongside his wife as he looked at Rose and asked that she be the one to reveal the news of the newcomers. Rose sighed as she knew that her husband wasn't really one for politics and council meetings which was why she was always in charge of them whenever they had to attend a meeting. With a heavy sigh she rose from her seat to address the council.
"Recently, five Uchiha-Uzumakis have come to join and live in our peaceful village," Rose proclaimed.
This caused the elders to speak in hushed tones, wondering who in their clan has finally come home.
"What are the names of these Uzumaki-Uchihas?" Kagome asked, excited to know who has come home.
"Naruto Uchiha nee Uzumaki-Namikaze, son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha-Uzumaki, son of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha, great nephew of Madara Uchiha, and their three children Itachi, Mito and Hogoromo," Raiden answered.
The elders of the clans were shocked to hear that the two greatest war heros to ever grace the nations were here. However they were also shocked that the heir of the Uchiha clan was engaged and married to the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. They weren't against gay marriages like some of the other clans in other nations, no they were openly supportive for gay ninja and kunoichi.
"Sasuke and Naruto-sama are here?" one of the female elders gasped in surprise. "They are truly here?"
Raiden nodded "yes honorable elder the great war heroes of the Fourth Great Ninja War have come to seek refuge within our village walls."
One of the elders wanting to know more asked why they would seek refuge in their village when they have family back in Konoha. The answer they would recieve would bring their rage to a boiling point. Raiden explained what Naruto told him about his life back in Konoha, how he was denied the position of Hokage due to him not being mature enough and that they all thought he belonged on the battlefield. The elders immediatlely went into a raging frenzy, furious at how the leaf village would treat their greatest hero. However the one other thing they were furious about was that Kushina went along with Konoha, to think that an Uzumaki would think that their own child is just a weapon. That wouldn't surprise them since Naruto was the third jinchuuriki for the most powerful tailed beast.
"Silence" shouted Kenshin.
The council calmed itself down even though murmuring could be heard. Kenshin sighed as he regain his composure.
"Now then based on what we know the only thing to do know is to welcome our new family into the clans. Plus the fact that our clansman Naruto Uzumaki has somehow breeded children with Sasuke Uchiha."
"Thanks to Kurama-sama of course" Rose replied. "After all male jinchuuriki can give birth like females can."
"Yes that's true" one of the elders responded.
"We can worry about that later right now we must welcome our new clansmen. After they get settled in we will decide how to punish Konohagakure for the crimes they have commited against our new clan heads." Himiko Uchiha stated.
