CHAPTER 5 SURPRISE!

Naruto walked along aside his mother silently just enjoying being with her, when she looked at him. "Naruto, why don't you introduce your friends?"

Naruto got a sheepish smile on his face. "Sorry, I was so excited that I completely forgot to do that, first I want to introduce you to my brother, Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke gave a curt nod but remained quiet. Kushina gave him a strange look.

"I have a major surprise for you at the village Sasuke, and some info on your Sharingan."

"What about the Sharingan, does it have something to do with the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Sasuke asked looking up quickly.

"So you know about one, do you know about the other?" Kushina asked smirking.

"What do you mean other?" Sasuke's eyes went wide.

"I'm not an expert so I can't give you full details, but I know that the Sharingan can go one of two ways. Thanks to Madara Uchiha, your clan only knew about one. The other is called the Bengosha Sharingan (1), and to give you an idea, because I don't know about it's abilities, the Mangekyou is activated through major grief, such as killing your best friend, the bengosha is activated through an act or feeling of pure joy or kindness, the best way is by delivering a baby. It can also defeat the Mangekyou." Sasuke was at a loss for words and was ready to ask more about it when Kushina cut him off, "I don't know much more about it, but there is someone at the village who can give you all the answers you need. Don't ask who, just wait until we get their." She looked at Naruto. "Who's next?"

"Next are the loves of my life, Hinata Hyuuga and Ino Yamanaka." Both girls blushed and said hello. Kushina's eyes went wide, but she got them under control.

"Interesting, we will need to talk ladies, but first, your name is Hinata." When Hinata nodded she looked around at the group and stopped on Neji. "You wouldn't happen to be Neji Hyuuga would you?" She asked.

"How did you know who my name?" He responded.

"Oh my." she gasped. "Things at the village are going to be interesting." Naruto decided to move on.

"Sasuke was part of my 3 man team, and this is the third part, meet Sakura Haruno, she is as close to me as a sister. Also she keeps me in line." Sakura looked at Kushina.

"Could you tell me more about my bloodline?" She asked looking up.

"Sorry, not right off the top of my head, but once we get to the village any questions that anyone has about their family, clan, and or bloodline can be answered." Kushina smiled. Naruto nodded his head.

"Over hear we have our two most intelligent guys, Shikamaru Nara and Shino Aburame." Shikamaru gave a lazy wave of his hand and Shino nodded. Naruto continued. "Beside Neji over there is our weapon mistress TenTen, and our number one tracker Kiba Inuzuka and his partner Akamaru. If you want muscle, Chouji Akimichi, and last but not least we have our taijustu expert Rock Lee." Kushina smiled at them all and Naruto cleared his throat. "I don't praise any of them lightly; we would never have been able to accomplish what we have without every single person here. I would give my life for any of them as they would for each other and me."

"So what exactly are you guys doing out here?" Kushina questioned scanning the group.

"We want to rebuild the whirlpool village." Naruto smiled scratching the back of his head.

"Will the Wave Lord allow that?" She asked.

"You haven't been out of the village very often have you?" Sasuke stated, "Naruto is the Wave Country's National Hero; he even has a bridge named after him." Kushina stared wide eyed at her son, while Naruto turned and blushed.

"It's not that big of a deal really."

"Oh no," Sakura said sarcastically. "Not that big of a deal at all, you only came up with a plan to work with Sasuke to free Kakashi from Zabuza's water prison, took out two thugs trying kidnap the Wave lords daughter, defeated Haku, reminded Zabuza that he had a heart, and proved to the wave country that heroes do exist. That's not that big of a deal is it?"

"Not to mention." Ino chimed in. "How much you impressed that fire lord at our first chuunin exam, when you as a rookie defeated Neji. Also you earned the appreciation of the wind lord by changing Gaara's way of life, and Gaara himself, who happens to be the Kazekage now."

"Not to mention all the other small villages and countries such as Snow, Tea and Crescent Moon Island." Rock jumped in slapping Naruto on the back.

"As you can see, Kushina-sama, Naruto has major political backing." Neji stated. "And with the help of Hinata, who has had political and diplomatic training he was able to secretly get all their support to rebuild the whirlpool village before we started our plan to leave the leaf village."

"Especially after they found out how his own village treated him." Kiba added.

"What are you talking about?" Kushina questioned startled by Kiba's comment.

"It would be better if you waited until we got to the village." Naruto sighed. "That's going to be a long story mom."

Back in the leaf village:

"Why are we here Hiashi" asked Homura. And where is the fifth?"

"She does not need to know about this meeting." Hiashi stated. "As for why we are here, the team I sent after the demon's little group were all defeated."

"Were any of them killed?" Koharu asked.

"Unfortunately no, they were defeated by someone not of their group." Hiashi answered.

"Who would have been able to do that?" Ionic questioned.

"That's where the real problems start, they did not see the attacker, nor did they hear them use any techniques. All they know is that the teens were suddenly protected by a dome of water, and then my people got hit by a tidal wave out of nowhere. Does that sound familiar to anybody else?"

"Are you telling me that there is a possibility that Kushina Uzumaki is still alive?" Homura gaped at the sudden realization.

"If that's true," Shikaku stated. "Then Mikoto may be alive as well."

"And Kami knows who else" Chouza stated.

"Meaning?" Koharu asked raising an eye.

"Meaning we never did find the remains of Hiashi's wife or his sister in law." Chouza answered. As they continued to talk, no one noticed a small toad sitting under the table listening to everything they said, nor the note that Chouza dropped to it.
