As always, I offer my thanks to those that reviewed and read the last chapter.

Also, this chapter might seem a little weird, but I've never actually gone this far into a story before. (one that I've written I mean)

Disclaimer from chapter 1 applies

Here's Chapter 4 though

Chapter 4: It's a Family Reunion

"Brother?" Ryoma asked his father a little confused. He looked at the man by his side.

"Well, to be exact, your twin brother." Arashi said with a smile. He still had his arm around Naruto.

"I don't look like him…" Ryoma said, still a little confused.

"Well… he was born at nearly the same time as you… but he's still your brother." Arashi said with conviction.

All through this, Naruto stayed silent to gauge their reactions. It seemed the boy with blue eyes and long black hair with a stripe of blonde going down the middle was his brother. What's more, he didn't seem to know it or believe it.

'Did you know, Kyubi?' asked Naruto in his mind.

'Yeah. I knew from the moment your father and I met today. Your brother asked who you were.'

'This just makes it easier to leave.'

The Kyubi walked up behind them, to end up behind Naruto.

"Kit, don't forget what he said." the Kyubi's voice startled Arashi and his son.

"Hai," Naruto said simply. He had forgotten what the Shinigami had told him for a moment.

'Guess I'm going to have to stay here from now on.'

"How can he be my brother?" asked Ryoma. He and Arashi were now discussing how Naruto could be his brother.

Arashi had let go of Naruto's shoulder and was now speaking in pleading tones to Ryoma.

"He's you brother." holding onto Ryoma's shoulders and looking straight into his eyes.

"He can't be my brother!" he said, pointing one of his fingers past Arashi at Naruto, "I've never even heard of him."

"Well, that's because…" How could he say that he had never told anyone about Naruto?

"You never told anyone about me." Naruto finished for him. He was able to tell by Ryoma's reaction, and the way the others were looking, that they knew nothing about him, "You tried to pretend I never existed."

Arashi looked up at his eldest son's face. He looked calm, and his eyes gave away nothing.

"I'm sorry. Your mother and I thought…"

"You have nothing to be sorry for," Naruto said, trying to make his voice seem a little firm. "You did what you had to do."

"I don't know how you can forgive me so easily," muttered Arashi. He was looking at his son with a newfound sense of pride and respect.

"There was never anything to forgive you for." Naruto said with a tone of finality. "You did nothing wrong in trying to sacrifice your life and mine to seal away the Kyubi. You did what needed to be done, and then learned that you should never deal try and deal with a god."

Arashi walked up to Naruto and gave him another hug. (Woo Hoo… It's hugs all over…)

Jiraiya spoke up, "Gaki! How do you know if this man was really Naruto?" He was extremely wary of the boy. He had just seen him walk up to Orochimaru's fortress and then kill both Manda and Orochimaru himself. "Orochimaru could have just used some jutsu to imitate him and then staged his own death! What if this is a ploy made by our enemies to kill you!"

Tsunade stepped forward. "He's right, Arashi-kun. We can't know for sure if this man is really who he says he is. It seems a little convenient, don't you think?"

"Tsunade-hime is right." A girl with bubblegum pink hair stepped forward. "Yondaime-sama, if this man is really who he says he is, then why did he come now, on the day we were going to be attacking Orochimaru?"

"Sakura-chan is right, Otousama!" Ryoma said, standing behind the girl named Sakura. "I can't really believe all this. It seems like too much of a coincidence. He just came out of nowhere, and you automatically believe him. So what if I had a younger brother, he can't be here. He said it himself and we all know the story about the Shinigami sealing away the Kyubi. If what he says is true and he really is some guy named Naruto, how did he escape the Shinigami?"

"The younger gaki is right, Arashi." Jiraiya said, pulling out a kunai. All the other ninja also pulled out a kunai. "We can't trust him."

"W-Wait!" Arashi yelled out, "He's Naruto! I just know it! So what if it's all a coincidence! He's my son!"

His cries were in vain, as all the ninja attacked Naruto.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naruto slid to the side to dodge a kunai that was thrown at him, then whipped around and kicked his foot out to deflect a kunai and send it away. He jumped again in the air and flipped, catching two kunai that went sailing under him. He spun upside down and threw both kunai to intercept four that were coming towards him. They hit the middle two on the inside side and sent them veering into the other two kunai. He landed on the floor and did a Matrix style dodge as five kunai went sailing over him.

He grabbed one of them, and stood up straight. He held it in front of him in his right hand in a reverse grip. He heard several puffs of smoke as he saw eight Ryoma's come at him. He threw the kunai and it embedded itself into the head of the leading clone. A cry of "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) came from three places in front of him, and he had to use a Ryoma clone in front of him as a shield. He kept his hold on its shirt and heard it poof into smoke as the first ball of fire hit it. He rolled out of the way and punched through a Ryoma clone and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. The second and third fireballs were headed toward him, and two people were blocking his way. They both punched the ground and he heard it crack, then erupt under his feet. He jumped into the air to avoid it, then realized the two fireballs were still headed toward him.

'Kyubi, what do we do?' he asked Kyubi, who was fighting off 20 different ninja by himself. They had surrounded him and were throwing a multitude of jutsu and kunai at him. More were coming, and they knew if they killed someone, they would never be able to get into Konoha.

'I need more chakra.' He called to Naruto, who had used a Ryoma clone to jump off of to avoid the fireballs. He was now fighting with the remainder of the clones while everyone else were throwing jutsu and kunai at him.

The Kyubi snapped one of his tails out and grabbed a kunai out of the air. He let three of his other tails to do the exact same thing. His other tails were fighting with some ninja.

'Affirmative.' Naruto mentally called in his head. He made a sweep in the air and dispelled the rest of Ryoma's clones. Then he grabbed the shirts of the white haired man and his brother and slammed them to the ground.

He ran before they could get up, and back flipped into the circle that was surrounding the Kyubi.

Someone let out another Katon jutsu when he had landed, but the Kyubi had blocked it with one of his tails.

Naruto placed his hand on the Kyubi's head, and he gained another tail. He also grew bigger, and was now the size of the tiger that Naruto had killed in Orochimaru's castle. He jumped onto a group of ten ninja that had foolishly huddled together, and almost crushed them completely. He didn't kill them though, as he had jumped to another group of ninja before they were dead. They were currently lying on the floor unconscious.

Two men wearing green jumpsuits came at him.

"Lee, drop your weights!" cried the older one, dropping something onto the ground. Naruto watched as a crater formed when they both dropped their weights, a curse ringing through his mind. He couldn't see them, as they both punched Naruto five different times in the span of two seconds. They all hurt like hell, and he was sure that some of his bones were broken.

'You're faster than this,' he made his mind believe, as the man kicked him up and the other went above him. 'You're stronger and you don't feel pain.'

The person above him was about to deliver an axe kick to his head, when Naruto had disappeared. Instead, that person kicked the man that was underneath Naruto and that man had delivered an uppercut straight into the chin of the other. The one that was kicked crashed straight into the floor and a huge crater erupted there. The one that was punched in the chin was sent flying upwards, then crashed into the ground, though not as hard as the other one.

Naruto had ended up a little off to the side, looking slightly winded. He then used his speed and ran up the girl with the pink hair. He felt his body going faster and stronger, and he made an uppercut with his right fist. As the girl had jumped at the last possible second, it caught her in the stomach, and she flew up into the air 10 feet into the air. She landed with a thud on the ground, and Naruto got back into his fighting position. He was leaned toward the right, with his right hand in front and open. His left hand was a little behind him, and was also in an open position. He leaned a little down to the ground like a cat.

Ryoma had run over to Sakura and was asking if she was ok. The two green jump suited men were lying on the ground unconscious.

'They must have some monstrous strength to have been able to knock each other out in one hit.' Naruto thought, as fourteen people surrounded him.

"Every, on my single, attack him." a boy wearing with a Konoha Chunin vest called out to his comrades.

"We know Shikimaru," a girl with blonde hair tied in a ponytail answered.

"Just making sure," said the one the girl had called Shikimaru. All the Konoha nins were looking at him suspiciously. Then three more shinobi joined in.

"I don't think we should attack him." the one in the middle side. He had red hair and green eyes. He was wearing a large gourd on his back. He also had black circles surrounding his eyes, meaning he didn't sleep much. "He seems dangerous."

They did not heed the man's words however, as they all attacked as Shikimaru performed a jutsu.

"Kagemane no jutsu!" he cried out. A dog came rushing by, along with a human, in a cyclone of power. Naruto caught both of them by their wrist and paw as he flipped backward and put them in the path of Shikimaru's oncoming shadow. Then he saw a blur of blue hair and felt himself dodging a boy with long hair and some tradional style robes. What's more, he had pale, pupil less eyes with veins popping out.

"You may not have chakra points," he called out, "But you will still fall to the power of a Hyuga!" and he pushed two of his fingers forward, straight at Naruto's neck. He saw the fingers coming towards him, so he dodged by leaning his body to the side and planting his feet firmly into the ground. With his right hand, he struck out, using the heel of his palm to strike Neji in the middle of his chest. He had no time to see if he had been incapacitated, as a barrage of ten kunai came sailing at him from his left. He jumped into the air, and hopped onto one kunai. Using his weight, he shifted its course and it went sailing into a Ryoma clone. A puff of smoke signified its departure into the after life, where it would join the other Ryoma clones. When he had sent the kunai into the a Ryoma clone, he had jumped on top of another one. He pushed it down and discouraged a big dog that was about to come up and attack him. Eight kunai were still going towards him, so he caught the two nearest ones by the metal holes on their backs, and flipped them around.

With a flick of his wrists, he sent them flying into another two kunai, and they crashed into each other with a metal clang. He flipped in the air, and plucked another two kunai out of it. The last two kunai were coming at him, and he brought his arms together in a cross. He made another flip in the air, and his two arms shot out, knocking both of the kunai off course by hitting them with the tips of the borrowed kunai.

He landed on the ground gracefully, and both of his kunai'd hands shot out. On the ends of them were throats that belonged to a man wielding trench knives and the other was on a man with one red eye. He was crouched down, but both of his arms were stuck in the air behind him and aiming at the men's throats.

"I'm sure of it!" Arashi yelled. He had been staring at the scene in shock and anger. He didn't they would actually try and fight each other. "I'm sure he's Naruto!" he tried again.

They obviously weren't listening, but at least they weren't attacking each other. Naruto held Asuma and Kakashi at the ends of the kunai. Sasuke was in the middle of a jutsu, Tsunade and Ryoma were attending to Sakura, Shino was playing with his bugs, Tenten had a three shuriken held in between each finger of each hand, and Neji was lying on the ground trying to get up. The Kazekage and his siblings were standing off to the side.

"Good, now we're all calm…" Arashi started, but was suddenly interrupted, when a blur of blue hair and white eyes came crashing down and landing next Naruto.

He quickly dropped both kunai in his hands, and they landed into the earth. The blue haired girl in front of him made with a quick strike to his stomach with two fingers, just like the other, but he had managed to catch both fingers and bend them backwards. She let out a small yelp in pain, and Naruto kept hold of her fingers. He went behind her and her fingers up to her body.

"Let go of her!" a boy with spiky hair and red markings across his face yelled to him. Beside him was a big white dog, who barked in agreement.

'Kit, this is bad. They think we're the enemy.'

'I know. How are things with you.'

'I knocked out the remaining 200, and there's this girl with blonde hair fighting against me. She's trying to do something with my mind, but I'm pushing her back every time.'

'Good, make sure you don't kill anyone.'

'Make sure you don't die. And there's this giant coming after you.'

"What?" Naruto hissed out loud, making it seem like he was talking to the dog and his boy.

"What do you mean what?" the boy with red markings called out incredulously, "Let go of Hinata-chan and I won't kill you."

Naruto felt the ground shaking beneath his feet, and jumped as far left as he could, carrying the girl y her arm. He looked up and saw a man around 20 feet high with his fist crashing into the ground where he had once been.

"Oi!" the red marked boy called out, "Watch where you're going, Choji!"

The giant just smiled, and apologetically scratched his head.

"Kagemane no Jutsu!" The pinapple haired boy called out. "Success." He sighed with relief. Then his voice grew serious again, and he said to something with blonde hair, "Ino, now!"

The girl with blonde hair said, "Shintenshin no Jutsu!"

Naruto struggled to move, and failed. "You can't move," the boy with the pineapple head said with satisfaction in his voice. He had let go of the girl the boy with the dog had called Hinata, and she was now running towards the busty, (weird word…) blonde haired lady.

He felt something enter his mind, then it went blank.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What was that…" muttered Naruto, getting off the grass. He was 'outside', and the sun was shining brightly.

He was on a grass covered hill, and a giant Sakura tree was on it. Beside it stood a gaping blonde girl, who was wearing a white shirt now and blue pants. On her feet she wore a set of red sandals. Naruto saw this, and then looked at his own attire. He was also wearing a white shirt, and blue pants. On his feet were a pair of sandals, just like the girl's.

He sighed, and knew what this signified.

He gathered breath into his lungs, and yelled out, "Oi, Kyubi!"

His voice startled the girl, and she turned abruptly to face him. "What is this place?" she asked in amazement.

"This is our mind, a place you shouldn't be." Naruto said, before the Kyubi came hobbling over in his human form. He was an old man, and was using an old cane that was red to walk. The cane he had was the exact same color of his beard, which was long enoguh to go down to his waist. He was also wearing the exact same clothes as Naruto and the blonde girl.

"Who's this, kit?" asked the old man, a toothy grin appearing on his face. He put one hand on the beard and stroked it thoughtfully. "Have you finally brought me some company?"

The girl blushed, and looked away from the old man.

"Kyubi, don't play games." Naruto said sternly. He wanted to get back into the real world as soon as possible. He didn't like the world the Kyubi had made in his mind. "Why are we in here?"

"I don't know, kit," said the Kyubi, "But maybe this pretty and youthful girl might know." He winked at the girl, causing her to blush again. She knew she was pretty, but it was kind of embarrassing coming from an old man.

"Pretty and youthful girl-san," Naruto said, turning to face the girl, "What is your name, and why are we in here?" demanded Naruto. He never liked the inside of his mind. If he messed around too much in his mind, his powers would fail him.

The girl blushed at being called pretty by the handsome young male and responded, "My name is Yamanaka Ino, and I'm the reason why we're in your mind."

"Yamanaka-san," Naruto said, bowing to the girl. Her face now turned red, as the boy walked up to her and knelt. He looked like he was proposing. He took his left hand in his right, and Ino's blush increased heavily.

'Whoa…I don't even know the guy.' Ino thought.

He leant down and kissed the back of her hand, and Ino had to use her other hand to fan herself. The old man whom the boy had called Kyubi was standing off to the side, looking happy.

She froze. 'Wait, he called that man the Kyubi, and if he did, then that means…' her train of thought was interrupted, as the one who called himself 'Uzumaki Naruto' stood. He held both hands with his own, and Ino felt the need to blush again. He locked eyes with her, and she managed to stutter out, "W-What are you doing?"

"Isn't this how humans are supposed to greet each other?" asked the man, and a thoughtful and confused expression crossed his face. He leaned his head to the side, and quirked an eyebrow.

Ino giggled, then suddenly remembered who he was and who he said he was. She pushed her hands out of his and jumped back. She went into an offensive stance, with her right hand balled a fist with her left hand held a little behind it, also balled into a fist. She needed to take control of his mind, and quickly. The others were depending on her.

(Warning: Weirdness and Awkwardness coming soon… like that's any different from the rest of the fic…)

She launched her body at the old man, and he moved with surprising speed, and dodged her attack. The next thing she knew, she was lying facedown on the ground, with something hold her down at the waist.

The man leaned down, and breathed onto her neck. Ino help but shiver at the sensation of the man's breath. It was warm and inviting, something she could lose herself into.

"Now you're mine, Ino-chan." the Kyubi said from above her. He had a feral look on his face and his eyes had turned a pure red. From his back came a five tails, which were all currently holding down Ino by her waist, legs, and arms. He licked her neck, and Ino couldn't help but moan at the sensation of the man's tongue on her neck. "Such a pretty young girl, and all mine…"

The Kyubi gave a smirk and was about to turn the girl over, when Naruto's calming voice broke in, "No, Kyubi-san. Though she broke into our mind forcefully, you shall do nothing to her."

The Kyubi growled, but stifled it when he looked into Naruto's eyes. They calmed him, and all the lust he had felt went away.

"Sorry, kit." the Kyubi said apologetically, scratching the back of his head with one of his tails. "I got carried away again."

"It's fine. You cannot control yourself no more than the water can control its flow." He tunred to Ino, and walked toward her. "Though, Yamanaka-san, we need you to tell us how you got us in here."

Ino thought he was going to do the same things as before, and jumped back, to get into a defensive position.

"Who are you really?" she asked Naruto. "And why do you keep calling him Kyubi?"

"I am who I have said I am." Naruto simply said. His voice almost calmed down Ino enough to let her guard down, but she reinforced her mind and made sure he would not break through her mental barriers.

Ino then snorted at his answer, "You can't be the Yondaime's son. If you are who you say you are, then how did your soul escape from the Shinigami?"

Naruto watched her warily, as if he was tired, "This soul is not fully my own." he answered cryptically.

Ino snorted again, "What the hell's that supposed to mean?"

"Look, Ino-chan," the Kyubi said from where he had pinned her down. He had five tails of chakra flying behind him, and they were all swishing through the air. "We shouldn't be here. Is there any way to prove that the kit is really who he says he is."

"Let me look inside his mind," Ino said immediately. That was always her job, to look inside someone's mind to determine if they were a threat or not.

"No," the Kyubi and Naruto said at the same time.

"Then I'll have to force my way there," Ino said, and she went into her kunai pocket to grab a kunai, only to remember that she didn't have a kunai pocket. She settled for an offensive stance, and ran for Naruto.

Naruto sighed, and got into a fighting position. His left hand behind his back, and his body turned to the right with the right hand facing forward. He left it open as a palm, and Ino struck. She made a kick to his head with her right foot, but he caught it with his right hand and flung her down.

She hit the ground, then somersaulted back up. She forward to Naruto again. She made a punch with her left hand going for Naruto's head. He put his arm on the inside of her offensive, and grabbed her arm. He pulled it away, and she went slamming into his chest. Then he twirled her around, so that she was facing away from him.

"I have no idea how you got us in here, but I must ask you to please stop attacking us." He whispered into her ear. His voice succeeded in calming her, and she relaxed. "Arigato."

He let go of her, and she pivoted on her foot to face him.

"Now, who are you really?"

This time, it was the Kyubi who had sighed. "He's Uzumaki Naruto, eldest son of the Yondaime Hokage Uzumaki Arashi and Uchiha Haruhei."

"Don't lie to me." Ino said venomously. "I'm getting tired of you saying the same stuff over and over. Tell me the truth, right now, or I'll mess up your mind so bad, you won't remember your real name."

Naruto and the Kyubi sighed, while Naruto thought, 'I hope all women aren't this stubborn.'

"I'm waiting," the blonde haired girl said, her arms crossed.

"Please, Yamanaka-san, take us out of my mind and into reality." Naruto asked her, "When we get out of here and your comrades stop attacking us, we will be able to explain everything."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naruto woke to a world of shadows around him and kunai pointed at him.

"You can't!" said an angry voice to his left. He shook his head, to clear his mind, and saw his father arguing with the white haired man. "He's my son!"

"No gaki!" the white haired man said with equally as much force, "He's not your son! You just want him to be! He IS the enemy!"

Naruto got up suddenly, only to receive the pointy end of a kunai.

No one did anything, as they saw the kunai impale itself into his shoulder.

He sighed, and lifted his right arm up to take the kunai out of him. This did well in toning down the atmosphere, as he plucked the kunai out of him.

He saw the girl from his mind, Ino, stand up and walk over to him. No one said anything, as they watched each other.

"Well," said Ino, breaking the silence. "Explain."

"Yamanaka-san…" Naruto said, looking up to her. Arashi suddenly came over, and helped him up.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Arashi asked hurriedly. He checked him all over, and stopped when his bamboo hat came flying out of the air and landing atop Naruto's head.

"There is one way I can prove who I am." said Naruto, pulling his mask over his mouth and nose. He turned to his father. "When you sealed the Kyubi, you put a seal in me, correct?" His voice did not calm any one, and only served to enervate them more.

Arashi nodded to his question, then caught his drift. He bent down to the ground, and grabbed one of his three pronged kunai. He drew a seal pattern in the dirt, then stood up. "If you really are my son, which I'm positive you are," He glared at the surrounding shinobi. "Then you will have this seal on your naval."

Naruto nodded, then lifted up his shirt. From all his previous injuries, there was blood all over his stomach, but he just wiped it away to reveal the exact same seal that Arashi had drawn in the dirt. Arashi went over and hugged him, but everyone else seemed unconvinced.

"Arashi-kun," Tsunade said. She was done treating her student, and she was watching him wearily, supported by Ryoma who was giving Naruto a death stare. "This might still be an imposter. He could have just drawn the seal on him to make you think he's your son."

Arashi growled angrily, then turned to face the rest of the shinobi. "How can you all think that! The proof is right here," he said pointing to Naruto's naval. All the girls blushed slightly, at seeing him. "You're all immature bastards who should all go jump into a pit and die!"

"They're all have the right idea, Otousama." Naruto said quietly, pulling his shirt down. Arashi looked at him a little shocked, and held his three pronged kunai tighter.

"See!" Shouted Ryoma. "He even admitted it!"

"If they did not think I was an imposter, then that would mean they did not have your best interests in mind." Naruto stated. His voice became calm, to loosen the tension in the air. "Had I not known any better, I would have also thought that." he finished.

"See, Otousama! He admits it!" Ryoma cried out happily. The rest were pondering his words.

"I believe him," Gaara said from behind them all. Everyone spun around to look at the Kazekage.

"Explain, Gaara-kun." Temari said, her face looking shocked.

"I believe him to be the son of the Yondaime." He said, looknig out at all of them, then resting his eyes on Naruto. "But the rest of you do not. I know one way to prove this once and for all."

He locked eyes with Naruto, and he saw them turn to red. He shivered subconsciously, and went on to finish, "Some of you have fought against the Kyubi, this I know. You should all remember his chakra." The senior shinobi nodded, and Gaara turned to Arashi, "The seal you created to seal the Kyubi within a host, to make him a Jinchuuriki, what was it's purpose?"

"To contain the nine-Tailed Fox and slowly combine his chakra with Naruto's." Arashi said with a moment's pause.

"Then, Naruto," He turned and walked to Naruto. Naruto was a little taller than him, but not by much. "Use the Kyubi's chakra."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After many apologizes, by everyone present, they had started on their walk back to Konoha in silence. The sun was slowly rising, and the grass covered plains were waving back and forth.

"So, Naruto." Tsunade said to the boy awkwardly, "I'm Tsunade, one of the Sanin. Do you remember me?" she asked, trying to start a conversation. She chuckled, a little. How would he be able to remember her when he was only a baby?

After last night, it had been decided that Naruto would accompany them to Konoha, where he would meet his mother.

"No, I don't." He said bluntly. Tsuande chuckled a little, and continued to walk by him, a little nervously. "Orochimaru mentioned you though, while we were fighting."

Tsunade's face grew darker. It seemed she had forgotten that the man walking beside her could be considered extremely dangerous. "What did that snake-teme say about me?" Her eyes glinted dangerously, as she remembered the false promise he had made to her in exchange for bringing back her loved ones.

"He said your punches hurt harder than mine. That means a lot to me, since I've always been considered strong." He said simply, not knowing many of the shinobi were staring at him with something akin to shock on their faces.

Tsunade just chuckled. It seemed the boy was weaker than her, despite having taken down Orochimaru.

"You have my eternal gratitude, gaki." Jiraiya said walking up behind him. "I've always wanted to punch that snake. By the way," he said, "I am the Toad Sannin, Jiraiya."

Naruto froze, then looked at him. Inside Naruto's mind, the Kyubi was giving off whoops of joy. "You're Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya also stopped, and stared at him. "You've heard of me before?"

"You're going to be a lucky man when you die, Jiraiya-sama." Jiraiya quirked an eyebrow at this. The boy had just added a sama at the end of his name.

"Jiraiya-sama?" Tsunade asked, confused.

"You don't need to be calling me Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-hime. Jiraiya the Great One will do well." Tsunade growled in anger, then threw a punch at Jiraiya. Jiraiya had enough time to get into position, and ducked down and covered his face with his arms.

The punch that Tsunade had thrown, was missed when Naruto had taken Jiraiya and had carried him far from where Tsunade was. The rest of the shinobi were looking at them in amusement, though still wary of Naruto.

"I can't allow you to harm Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-hime." Naruto said. In his arms was Jiraiya, who was looking at his savior.

The Kyubi suddenly appeared beside him, and growled at Tsunade.

"Don't touch Jiraiya-sama," he snarled at the woman.

Arashi took this moment to intervene. "What's going on here?" he demanded.

"We are sworn to protect Jiraiya-sama by…" he paused and asked the Kyubi in his mind mentally, 'Are we allowed to tell them?'

"We can't, kit." The Kyubi said out loud. "We're not allowed to tell anyone."

"Hai." and he continued with what he had been saying. "We were told to protect Jiraiya-sama at all costs by our superiors."

"But why?" Tsunade whined. She knew that this meant she would never be able to hit the white-haired pervert ever again.

"It is our sworn duty." the Kyubi said, pride in his voice.

Naruto put Jiraiya on the ground, and he had a smug look on his face, "Thank you, Naruto-san." he said, and bowed to Naruto, "For saving me from the wrath of Tsunade."

"It is our duty. However," Naruto looked at Jiraiya with pity in his eyes, "We must also act upon something else one of our superiors told us."

With surprising speed, he ran up right in front of Jiraiya.

"Gomen, Jiraiya-sama." and Jiraiya was sent flying into the air at unimaginable speeds, as every man and some woman grabbed themselves.

Naruto felt a grimace appear on his face, and the Kyubi howl in his mind, as Jiraiya flew off in the distance, the force of a knee to the crotch too horrible too imagine.

(Sorry if that was weird….)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They had arrived at Konoha.

Jiraiya had yet to return, and every time someone was near Naruto, or even looked him, they grabbed themselves.

"State your names, and purpose for going inside Konoha." said the Guard. He hadn't even looked up from his work. He just sat behind the guard booth reading an orange book.

"Uzumaki Arashi, Yondaime Hokage. Returning to Konoha from Assault Mission." Arashi said, a twinge of annoyance in his voice. He wanted to show his son that Konoha was a village worthy to be defended, not some pathetic village that didn't even have competent guards.

"Yeah right," The Guard said offhandedly, waving a hand in the air to shoo them away. "You're not the only ones who pretended to be the Yondaime just to get in."

Tsunade had enough of the man's incompetence, and she punched a hole through the guard booth. The man looked up in anger, then in embarrassment as he saw 200 shinobi standing in front of the gates and the Hokage standing in front of the gates.

He muttered a quick apology, and quickly ran inside to open the gates for them.

With a loud creak, the gates were opened.

Naruto gasped at the sight of Konoha, and the Yondaime smirked from behind him.

"It's a great village, isn't it gaki?" he said, looking at his son's reaction. He had seen pictures from the Kyubi's mind before, but he had never seen it up close. It was an amazing village.

The streets were packed, and everyone was moving like they ahd somewhere important to go through. People were selling food, trinkets, and all manners of clothing.

"This is the market section of Konoha, Naruto-san." said Tsunade from behind him. She had noticed the amazed expression in his eyes, and was smirking at this. "People from all over the elemental countries can come here, and sell their goods."

"It's amazing." Naruto said, taking in all the sights. He didn't notice the shinobi behind him as they all separated, leaving only Ryoma, Arashi, and Tsunade.

"Come on, gaki. We're going to go meet your mother." Arashi said, tapping Naruto on the shoulder and motioning him to follow. Naruto tore his eyes away, and walked beside his father.

He was not wearing his trench coat or bamboo hat, which Arashi had shrunk down into a scroll for him. He was planning on getting new clothes soon, as his were getting old. He had pulled the mask down around his neck, because he didn't think he would need it.

As they were walking in the direction of a big tower, people were giving the group looks of admiration and pride. When their eyes reached Naruto, they cowered away a little. His eyes were a pure red which reminded some of them of some demonic beast.

Naruto ignored them, and just listened to Arashi as he explained all the sights in Konoha. He had stopped looking at Konoha in wonder, and instead, praised it from the inside.

They had made it to a red colored tower. There was a pair of huge wooden doors that guarded the entrance to the tower, and a set of guards that were stationary at the gates.

They smiled immediately when they saw who was walking up to the gates, then it faltered as they saw Naruto. Though he did not have his trench coat, bamboo hat, or mask on, the swords on his back were enough to worry some people. "Ohayo, Yondaime-sama." the guards said, bowing deeply to him.

The gates opened, and as two blurs of yellow ran out of them and crashed into Ryoma and Arashi, slamming them both into the ground.

"Otousama!" They cried out, hugging onto the now laughing Ryoma and Arashi.

"Hey, Karin," Arashi said, ruffling the hair of the girl on holding him down.

"Izumi, get off me," Ryoma chuckled, hugging the girl.

Naruto was watching this in confusion. He had unconsciously reached for the swords on his back, before he realized they were just little girls. They looked both looked like they were nine, and looked very similar to each other, with identical mops of blonde hair on their heads, and their large brown eyes.

"Izumi, Karin, get off your father and brother," a sweet, melodic voice came from the door way. Out stepped a beautiful woman, with black eyes and a long black hair that was flowing around her face and going down to her waist. She laughed as Karin and Izumi groaned and ran back, and jumped around the woman.

"Kaasan, Kaasan!" they yelled, running around the woman. "Otousan and oniichan are back!"

She laughed and looked at the two men on the ground. "I see," and she laughed again.

Then her eyes met Naruto's, and a look of recognition went through her eyes.

"Naruto…" she softly whispered underneath her breath. "So it was true…"

And she fainted, leaving many people watching worried.

Sorry if this isn't good.

The next chapter might hold more action, and I've learned my lesson in this chapter.

Never make a fight with all available ninja without killing some off first.

Anyways, Zero Pressure is up next, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

As always, tell me if you find any mistakes in this chapter, and thank you for reading,
