Alright I've decided to forego the Harem and stay focused on Tenten. Sorry to those who were looking forward to it.

The group looked over and saw a short man in a business suit with sunglasses on and at least 100 mercenaries with different types of weapons ranging from daggers to spears. The short man stepped forward and stopped clapping.

"Well, well, well, it seems the famed "Demon" is nothing but a big softie. It doesn't matter though; I never was going to pay you in the first place." Zabuza narrowed his eyes in anger. Gatou didn't even notice and continued talking. "Kill the men, bring the women to me. They look like they could provide some…entertainment. Especially that redhead, I haven't had one for a while." Gatou then began to chuckle at this thinking his men would be able to do that.

Suddenly he felt as though he couldn't breathe, his life was flashing before his eyes. How he had taken over countless villages, killed so many people in cold blood. He tried his best to find out where this feeling was coming from and looked at the shinobi and saw they were all looking at the blonde.

Naruto had had it with this guy. He had killed so many people and probably more than he wanted to know. He killed Inari's father. Took everything from these people, more than they could even give all for the sake of making himself richer. And worst of all he had just threatened to rape his mother and friend.

"Miho let me borrow your power." Naruto thought.

"Fine. Tear him to pieces. Leave nothing behind." This was what people call "Female rage" the thing that all men were afraid of, even the kage's. Her chakra then flooded Naruto's system, not enough to flood out of him, but enough to change his eyes to red and slitted, his whisker marks deepened and his canine and fingernails lengthened.

"This is good. Now I can test my new skills against you. You will not touch my mother." Naruto then drew the katana from his back. "These are my twin katana, Kita no futago-fū ryū. They will taste your blood." Naruto channeled Fuuton chakra to his feet causing him to float mere inches off the ground. "Stay back." He said as he noticed Zabuza reach for his blade. Then he charged right into the group of mercenaries.

"Kushina, should we help him?" Kakashi asked slightly worried.

"No, he may have developed this whole style in a matter of days, but even I am pressed when I fight him and he uses this style." Kakashi's eye widened at this and although Zabuza didn't show it he was completely shocked that this kid developed a whole style in a matter of days.

They watched as Naruto quickly made his way through the mercenaries, cutting down everything in his path. Even through the weapons of the mercenaries. Gatou had made his way to the back of the merc's, cowering in fear.

Naruto rushed into them swinging his blades, and cutting everything that moved. Body's and body parts piled up behind him. Weapons fell to the ground. People screamed as he cut through them, some begging for mercy.

Naruto himself was taking some pleasure in doing this. Though it was only gratifying because these … people… wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else. Blood dripped from his katana as he continued to plow through the mercenaries. His clothes were drenched in blood as well but he didn't even notice. He had his sights on Gatou and these mercenaries weren't going to stop him.

Sasuke and Sakura were both watching as Naruto tore through the mercenaries without any remorse showing on his face. Sasuke was now determined to get the Dobes' power for himself. Sakura had already thrown up in her mouth twice and was forced to swallow it so she didn't choke. She had even pissed herself again and passed out.

It took only a mere five minutes for Naruto to crush the mercenaries and reach Gatou. The businessman fell on his ass at the sight of the blood covered teen with red eyes and cowered in fear.

"Pl-please let me go! Have mercy!" Gatou begged as he backed away.

"Did you have mercy on anyone? No? Then no mercy for you."Naruto said as he raised his katana preparing to make an X shaped cut in Gatou.

"I'll give you anything you want. Money, women, power. You name it I'll get it for you."

"You know there are few things I hate in this world and one of them is rapists. You had planned on rapping my mother and my friend, I can't let you go."

"Why you little brat! It doesn't matter my other…"But didn't finish as Naruto had made two cuts in X formation on his chest. Naruto looked at him for a brief moment as he calmed down. His features went back to normal and he flicked the blood from his katana and sheathed them. He calmly walked back to the others who were staring in awe. Just as they were about to make sure he was alright Sasuke made it known that he had somehow gotten out of his bindings.

"Dobe, I hereby order you to give me those swords and any and all Jutsu that you know. As an Uchiha I have every right to know what they are and those weapons can only be wielded by one as great as myself." Sasuke demanded as he got right in Naruto's face. Naruto looked into his eyes and saw that they had turned red and had one tomoe in them. He guessed that the prick had felt scared when he had killed all those men.

"No. And if you ask demand anything else of me I will not hesitate to charge you with attempted theft of clan techniques, a crime in Konoha that you can be stripped of you shinobi status for."

"They wouldn't dare do that to me. I am the future of that pathetic village. Now give me Ahh." Kushina had enough and hit the Uchiha on the head hard enough to knock him out.

"Thanks mom. But I gotta tell you guys something; at the end there it sounded like Gatou has another group of mercenaries ready to attack. We will have to take care of them. Now if you don't mind training for five days straight then fighting has worn me out. Good night." And with that Naruto fell into Kushina's waiting arms.

At that same moment there was a shout of war cries from behind them. They all looked to see the villagers being led by Inari. They all had makeshift weapons from kitchen knives to broom handles. They then saw the blood and bodies and the adults quickly covered the eyes of the children that were there, much to their annoyance.

"We had better get Naruto back so he can rest then we'll clean the bridge. Is that alright with you Tazuna?" Kakashi asked as he motioned for the townspeople to go home.

"Yea, it is. That kid…is scary. I'm glad he's on our side." Tazuna said, visibly shaking from watching the carnage.

The next morning

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, only to shut them because of the intense light. He opened them again using his arm to shield his eyes until they adjusted to the light. When they did he took a look at where he was and recognized it as the same room that he stayed in before. He got up and noticed he was only in his boxers so he looked around for his clothes. They weren't there but he did see his stuff along with a note sitting in a corner. He walked over and read the note.

Naruto

You're clothes were too bloody to clean so we had to throw them out. So ware your backups.

Kakashi.

He just sighed and pulled one of his scrolls from the small pile and pulled out his extra clothes. As he was strapping his katana to his back he heard a noise coming from the other side of the door. And then shouting.

"Let me in there you lowlife! Those swords are the property of the Uchiha. I'm getting them." Clearly the teme.

"Yea you eye brow-less freak. Let Sasuke-kun get his swords. They belong to him. He's the only one in the village who can use them properly." A screeching sound was heard.

Naruto just sighed and strapped his last katana to his waist and made his way to the door and opened it to see the back of Zabuza, clearly guarding his door.

"Hey what's with all the racket this early in the morning?" Naruto asked as he yawned and scratched the back of his head.

"Dobe, give those weapons now! And you teach me how to use them." Sasuke demanded of Naruto and Zabuza.

"First thing dumbass, no I won't give you my swords. Second Zabuza doesn't have to teach you anything because he's not even a part of the village yet, and even if he was he would be a Jounin and you can't boss him around." Naruto then pushed past him and went downstairs to get some food, leaving the two idiots to fume in anger.

Naruto entered the dining room just as Tsunami put breakfast on the table. Kakashi was reading his book. His mother and Haku were staring at him in fury, and Tazuna was already slightly drunk.

"So sensei, have we found Gatou's extra forces yet?" Naruto said as he sat down and Tsunami served him. He nodded his head in thanks. Kakashi looked up from his book briefly before answering.

"Yea. We sent out a bunch of Kage Bushin last night. They're all at Gatou's old base preparing. It sounded like they were going to attack sometime today or tonight. So we'll have to be careful." He said in his lazy way. Naruto just nodded as he took another bite of rice.

"So does anyone want to tell me why Zabuza was standing guard outside my room?"

"The Uchiha tried to steal your katana Naruto. We've been taking shifts until you woke up." Kushina said digging into her own meal.

"So when are we going to attack? You said they were would most likely attack tonight." Naruto asked as he finished his food.

"We're leaving you, Sasuke and Sakura here to guard the family. Naruto you will be in charge. I give you permission to subdue the other two if they get in the way, and compromise the mission." Kakashi said not looking up from his book and turning the page.

"Why am I not going?" Naruto asked.

"Because there was a few shinobi there all Jounin rank. Gatou was probably going to kill them too. Plus I want you to take it easy for now. And the four of us; Kushina, me, Haku and Zabuza have more experience dealing with high level shinobi." Kakashi explained. They then heard a crashing sound from upstairs followed by a "You can't do that to Sasuke-kun!" and another crashing sound. Zabuza appeared a few minutes later with a scowl on his face. He saw the questioning looks on everyone's face and grumbled something about how they wouldn't leave him alone while he was taking a crap and that he was going out to blow off some steam.

Haku went up to see what Zabuza had done and came back a few minutes later.

"He shoved the Uchiha's head into the toilet and now he has crap all over it and pinkie in on top of him kissing him not even caring that he's covered in shit." The shinobi couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Alright Naruto we're going to head out of here around noon so we can get to Gatous base and set up traps. After that you are in charge." Kushina said as she was the first to stop laughing.

The next few hours weren't very exciting, after Sasuke woke up he threw a tantrum and washed his face and went to train with Sakura right behind him. Kakashi continued to read his book much to the ere of the three women in the house. Tazuna kept drinking and was putting the final touches on his designs for his bridge. Tsunami went into town with Naruto to get what fresh vegetables she could for lunch. And Kushina and Zabuza had a taijutsu spar in the back yard. Zabuza was soundly beaten by the redhead and then grumbled about being beaten by a woman earning him a swift kick to the nuts. Haku, who was watching, just sighed at her father figures stupidity and shook her head. When noon rolled around Kakashi sent a Kage Bushin to get Sasuke and Sakura. They returned 15 minutes later.

"Alright you two, Naruto is in charge while we are away." Kakashi said, glaring at the two in front of him. "No complaints." He said as both were about to complain, most likely about how Sasuke should be in charge. They did the smart thing and shut up, for now at least.

"Bye Naru-chan. See you sometime tonight." His mother said as she kissed his forehead. Zabuza smirked at this and when Naruto saw it he glared at him.

"Now remember they may have sent advanced strikes or may even get around us and our traps so be on guard and ready for anything." Kakashi said as they walked out the door.

"Hai, hai. I got it. Ja ne." Naruto said as he closed the door behind the four.

"Alright time to get down to business. Kage Bushin no Jutsu." Naruto said as 20 Naruto's poofed into reality. "I want 5 of you scouting in any direction, if you see any enemies one of you dispel and the other four try to slow them down. Go." The clones rushed out the door and the last one closed it. "Sakura you are in charge of protecting Tsunami when she is alone, Sasuke you will watch Tazuna, I'll watch Inari. Understand?" Neither one answered and started walking away from him to go upstairs. "If you don't answer and follow orders you will be written up for insubordination, Uchiha that means you will be written up twice. Now, do you understand your orders?" the two slowly nodded their heads and went to the living room to 'guard' their charges.

Time skip: Sunset Tazuna's place.

For the last 6-7 hours Naruto has heard nothing but complaint after complaint from his two teammates or their charges. Tsunami complained about how Sakura's obsessive talking about how the Uchiha was so great and powerful and how she was going to marry him and have little Uchiha babies was driving her insane. She couldn't even concentrate on making dinner so Naruto did it for her, for which she was thankful for.

Sakura complained to him that she wasn't spending enough time with her 'precious' Sasuke-kun and that Tsunami wouldn't even talk to her about how great the Uchiha are. Or even how 'beautiful' she was. She had even complained about how Tsunami was ignoring her. (Imagine that.).

Tazuna complained that even though he was at least trying to be friendly to the boy who was his personal guard, he would just ignore him and start glaring at something and brood. Even though Sasuke was supposed to follow him wherever he went to make sure he was safe, he just stayed right where he was brooding.

Sasuke was the worst of them all. If he wasn't brooding, which Naruto didn't mind 'cause he was quiet, he wasn't doing what he was ordered to do. He snuck off for almost an hour to train before Naruto caught him and told him he would be written up for possible endangerment to the client and ignoring orders. Sasuke didn't take him seriously thinking that the Council wouldn't allow him to be punished. He would, every hour or so walk up and demand Naruto either give him his weapons and Jutsu or turn command of this mission over to himself. After the second time Naruto caught him sneaking off to do something he knocked him out and hogtied and gagged him, then threw him in the room they were sharing for this mission. Sakura had complained at first and said that her mother would hear about this when they got back until Naruto looked at her with his icy cold blue eyes, at which she did the smart thing and shut up and went back to guarding Tsunami.

Naruto himself had gotten tired of the complaints and just made a Kage Bushin to handle them while he spent most of the afternoon out of their sight and drew seals on the windows and doors so they couldn't be broken in through.

It was around dusk and Naruto and Tazuna were playing poker. They could hear the emo upstairs thumping around trying to get free, while Sakura, Tsunami and Inari were folding the laundry. Naruto had won most of his games against Tazuna, though he wasn't sure if he was just lucky or if it was because Tazuna was making stupid mistakes because he was slightly tipsy.

"Alright you old drunk, show'em." Naruto said.'

"Ha, that's three of a kind." Tazuna slurred as he showed his had that had 3 fours a 5 and a 7.

"Oh, I got you again old man. Full house." Naruto said showing his hand of 3 fives and 2 tens. Tazuna just mumbled something about beginners luck.

Suddenly he was assaulted with memories of a few groups of bandits coming from the north. And then a few seconds later another group coming from the water by boat.

"Alright we're going to have some company here in a few minutes Tsunami, Tazuna take Inari and get under the table. Sakura go get Sasuke but don't untie him and put him with the others."They did as they were told, though Sakura did it so she could hopefully grope the Uchiha while he was bound. Sad thing is she did as it took her almost five minutes to come back with a bound Sasuke in her arms and she was feeling him up near his crotch, which was showing no reaction what so ever. "Sakura stop molesting him and put him under the table and get into a guarding position." She reluctantly did so.

"Okay, my clones took out about half of them but I want you to stay here while I go take care of them. You'll be fine after this, I promise. And I never break my promises." With that Naruto went outside drawing his katana from his back.

When he got there it looked like the groups of bandits had merged together and now numbered around 60.

"Ha, some little kid thinks he can stop us. Do you want us to call your mommy kid?" One of the bigger and dumber looking ones near the front said. Naruto just raised his swords over his head.

"Kamaitachi no Jutsu." He swung his swords down creating two blades of wind that cut a straight line through the middle of the group killing about 8 and injuring about 10 more to the point that they couldn't fight. The other mercenaries were enraged about this and charged Naruto head on. Naruto just did a few more Kamaitachi no Jutsu's and they were all either dead or incapacitated. When he sheathed his swords and turned around he felt a sharp pain in both of his shoulders. He quickly rolled away and pulled out whatever it was, they were a kunai. He threw it to the side and looked to see who had done it only to see Sakura and Sasuke standing there.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? You just attacked a fellow shinobi of Konoha, do you understand what that means?" Naruto asked as he mentally asked Miho to heal him as fast as she could.

"Of course I do." Sakura said. "Now I get a date with Sasuke-kun, and you can't upstage him any more if I just kill you." She said walking forward with another kunai in her hand and Sasuke was behind her smirking.

"Remember Sakura the faster you do it the sooner we can go on that date." Sasuke said, causing the girl to walk faster.

As she got near Naruto he leapt up into a back flip and kicked her in the chin, when he landed he jumped back up and spin kicked her in the head right into a tree, knocking her out.

"That's it Sasuke when we get back I will make sure you are punished for this." Naruto said as he charged Sasuke.

Sasuke pulled a few shurriken from his pouch and threw them at Naruto who avoided them and continued his charge. Sasuke wasn't fazed by this because he was fighting the Dobe, there was no way he could be beaten by him, and activated his sharingan, drew a kunai and charged at Naruto. Just as they were about to clash both of them were grabbed from behind. When Naruto looked back he was being held by his mother and looked back at Sasuke who was being held by Kakashi and was thrashing around.

"What the hell are you two doing? We left you three alone for half a day and you're already trying to kill each other." Kushina Yelled as she put Naruto down.

"They attacked me from behind after I took care of those mercenaries. I ordered Sakura to guard the family and Sasuke since I hogtied and gagged him." Naruto explained.

"And why was he hogtied and gagged?" Kakashi asked.

"He was shirking his duties and ignoring my orders. He even tried to make me give him my katana and Jutsu as well as turn over my position as leader of this mission." Naruto said as he started moving his arms to make sure they were healed alright, and thanking Miho.

"Sasuke why did you do this?" Kakashi asked putting him down, making him face him.

"He wouldn't give me what I want."

"Sasuke that is theft. You can't do that. You are herby under arrest for attempted thievery, attempted murder, dereliction of duty and insubordination. You'll be lucky to keep your shinobi license." Kakashi stated.

Sasuke started to retaliate but was knocked out by Kakashi and then tied up as well as Sakura. They were dragged into the house and, not too gently, thrown into one of the bedrooms.

For the next two weeks Tazuna finished his bridge and the town celebrated, and thanked their hero's, though they were a bit cautious around Zabuza. Inari had made a couple of friends. Tsunami was still doing what she did every day, cooking and cleaning, but she loved it. Naruto, Kushina, and Zabuza had the occasional sword fight or training in something. Kakashi just kept reading his book but joined the training sessions every now and then. Haku had been healing the sick and wounded in the village.

Sasuke and Sakura spent the whole time bound and, after two days of their shouting/screaming to be let go, gagged. They were only fed twice a day, and even then only enough so they wouldn't die of starvation, because whoever was feeding them didn't want to have to listen to them any longer than needed.

When the 2 weeks were up team 7, Kushina, Haku and Zabuza left.

"Hey tou-san? What should we name the bridge?" Tsunami asked, and the townspeople who were there started murmuring.

"We should call it Tazuna's Super …" Tazuna started but was interrupted by Inari.

"We should call it the Great Naruto Bridge." The crowd had a shout of applause and Tazuna had anime tears going down his face.

The group was halfway back to Konoha right now.

Zabuza had gotten hooked on Icha Icha thanks to Kakashi, who let him borrow his back up book to read on the way home. Both were getting glares from the female population of their group but didn't really pay attention. Kushina and Haku talked about different Jutsu and adventures they had as shinobi.

Naruto mostly caught up on his reading with the sealing book, and only had about 20 pages left.

A few minutes later they saw a girl with light green hair, pink eyes and slightly tanned skin. She was wearing a white tank that showed her midriff and a white skirt over mesh shorts and shirt. She also had white arm coverings up to her elbows. She had a Taki Hitai-ate on her arm. She walked over to Naruto.

"Hey Miho, who is this?"

"I don't know the human but I can sense Nanabi no Kabutomushi. This must be my sisters Jinchuuriki." Miho replied.

"Hello Mr.9, how are you?" The girl asked.

"Mrs. 7. I'm good, and you?"

"Just fine. I'm on my way back from a mission and I met two of our siblings. Mr.8 and Mrs. 2. Mrs.2 is a bit high strung and Mr.8…was interesting to say the least."

"Sounds like it was fun. Meet any others?"

"No, but I have heard that Mr. 1 is bordering insane, so be careful. I don't know what he looks like but he should be around your age. I must be going." She bowed and Shunshined away. The others were looking on in curiosity at what transpired. Haku was the first to speak up.

"Naruto, what was that about?"

"Oh, just some extended family you could say. Let's go I want to get back before dark." And took off. The others looked at each other, Kakashi and Kushina of course knew what they were talking about but Haku and Zabuza as well as the two other Genin were confused. But still they took off after the blond.

Several hours later, just after dark the group arrived at the gates of Konoha. Naruto immediately liked who was on guard duty, Kotetsu and Izumo.

"So what did you two do this time to get gate duty?" He asked as he approached the half-asleep shinobi, jarring them awake.

"Hmm, oh it's you Naruto. Yea we kinda got drunk and messed up the mission room so we had to clean it up and take the graveyard shift here." Kotetsu said with a yawn.

"Sucks to be you huh?" Naruto said with a chuckle.

"Shut up."Izumo whined and then noticed who was traveling with him. "Naruto why is Momochi Zabuza here and two unknowns? And why are your teammates tied up?"

"Oh well, in order, Zabuza wants to join Konoha, the black haired girl is Haku his adopted daughter and the red head is my mom. And my teammates are tied up because of several reasons." Naruto responded.

"Alright, well according to new protocol you three" Kotetsu pointed to Zabuza, Haku, and Kushina. "Will have to give up all weapons until further notice and have an ANBU escort to Hokage-sama's office." He then pulled out a storage scroll and gave it to them. They all put their weapons in it, well Zabuza did so reluctantly, while Izumo called for the ANBU, who showed up just as Zabuza sealed Kubikiri Houcho. It was Hawk and Rabbit. The scroll was then given to Kakashi.

"Please follow us to the Hokage tower." Hawk said as the two elites turned and started walking. It didn't take long to reach the tower. The two ANBU then took them to the kage's office and then left.

Inside the Hokage's office.

"Hey Jiji, how ya doin?" Naruto said causing the said man to look up from some paperwork that need his direct attention and not his clones.

"Kushina, wha, how? How are you alive?" Was the first thing out of the aged kage's mouth when he laid eyes on the group.

"Well I never died, duh. I've been outside Konoha for the last 13 years. Actually within half a days walk." She said crossing her arms under her chest.

"Why didn't you ever write then? I would have loved to know that you were still alive."

"What are you talking about Sarutobi? I wrote you almost every month?" She said raising and eyebrow in a questioning manner, also confusing the man.

"No you haven't. I haven't heard from you since you disappeared. Do you have any of these letters I supposedly sent you?"

She pulled out a storage scroll, mentally thanking herself for keeping these, and unsealed the last six letters she received and gave them to the Hokage. The elderly man sat there analyzing the letters. He looked for how the letters were written to see if it matched his own, which it didn't but you had to look very closely to see. He even looked at the seal at the bottom, the one that proved it was from the Hokage, and even his signiture. After a few minutes he looked at the group and put the letters down.

"The seal is definitely mine. However the writing is not. I'm sorry Kushina but whoever you've been writing to the last 13 years it wasn't me."

"Then it must have been one of those damn Elders." She said vehemently.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well it started when I woke up from giving birth to Naruto 2 days after the Kyubi attack…"

Flashback no Jutsu

Kushina had just opened her eyes to see that she wasn't in her hospital room. She started to panic until she saw one of the Elders sitting in the corner, it was Utatane Koharu.

"Koharu, where am I? Where is my son? Where is my husband?" Kushina asked as she sat up.

"You are in ANBU HQ infirmary. The Kyubi has been defeated, but your husband died in the process, I'm sorry. You're free to go when you want." She turned around and headed for the door but stopped when Kushina spoke up.

"Then, then where is my son? Where is Naruto?" She said with tears in her eyes.

"…He didn't survive." With that she left. When she closed the door she saw Danzo and Homura and smirked.

"Now the Demon will be ours. With the Kyubi under our control Konoha cannot be stopped." Danzo said and walked away followed shortly by the other two.

With Kushina

She had been crying, she didn't know how long but she knew it had to have been more than a few hours. In that time she had decided what she would do. She crawled out of bed and found a set of clothes set aside for her and put them on. She quickly wrote a note to Sarutobi telling him what she was doing and left. If she had looked back she would have seen an ANBU with 'Ne' on the mask take the letter.

Flashback no Jutsu Kai

"So then I went back to our house and gathered what I wanted, including Jutsu scrolls, weapons, pictures and clothes and then left with the cover of the continuing chaos that followed the attack."

"Well, that is troubling but unfortunately unless we can directly tie these letters or get a confession directly from Koharu, we can't do anything. I'm sorry Kushina." He said with a look of sadness in his eyes while Kushina herself humpfed and mumbled something that sounded like 'Damn politics.'

"Now then, Naruto, why are the other two here and your teammates tied up?"

"Hokage-sama," Kakashi spoke up instead. "I would like to brief you on the mission and will answer your questions." Seeing the man nod Kakashi continued. "It started off like a normal C-Rank body guard mission until we ran across the Demon Brothers of Kiri, who attacked our client. As it turned out Tazuna didn't have the funds to pay for a mission higher than a C-Rank, and subsequently lied to us about the missions dangers. While I was talking to Tazuna, Naruto shot off into the woods and I ordered Sasuke and Sakura to protect the client and not to follow and left a Kage Bushin just in case. Turns out that Naruto had found where Kushina was and so we brought her along just in case she was needed. When we returned we found Sasuke and Sakura arguing with Tazuna who wanted to wait for me and Naruto, while the other two wanted t get going. Several hours later we ran into Zabuza. After a brief encounter I was captured and ordered Kushina to take the Genin and leave. Naruto however just unsheathed his katana and attacked Zabuza with a technique I have never even heard of, causing that scar on his chest." At this point the Hokage looked at Zabuza and noticed the scar on his chest. "After that he was saved by Haku here who took him away and healed him. After that I passed out from chakra exhaustion."

"I'll take it from here sensei." Naruto spoke up. "After sensei passed out I tried to take control of Team 7 and my mother to take control of the mission but was interrupted by Sasuke who tried to do the same thing claiming that because he was an Uchiha, he was the strongest and therefore the leader. He then got into an argument with my mom and after she gave him and Sakura an order to carry Kakashi-sensei, I knocked him out for insubordination, and my mom knocked out Sakura, because she was annoying as hell and may have given our position away to possible enemies nearby by screaming at the top of her lungs. We then went back to Tazuna's and rested. The day after Kakashi began teaching those two, "Naruto pointed to his tied up teammates. "how to do the Tree Climbing exercise, while my mom taught me a few other things, which caused me to pass out for a couple days. After that mom and I took a little trip to a weapons smith in a port town near Lightning Country to get my new katana." He pointed to the swords on his back. "And then went to train with them for the next few days. When we returned we rescued Tazuna's family from a couple mercenaries, and then went to the bridge. Where, after a moment of conversation, Gatou appeared and said a few things that kinda set me off and I slaughtered him and his men using my new style of kenjutsu. As Gatou was dying he made it sound like he had other forces to attack and pillage the town, which he did. When the others left I was put in charge while they were gone. I immediately had five Kage Bushin each set up a perimeter in each direction, for early warning. Then put Sasuke in charge of Tazuna, Sakura in charge of Tsunami, and I myself was in charge of Inari, Tsunami's son. Sasuke disobeyed orders and left Tazuna alone, twice. So in order to keep things running smoothly I tied him up. A little after it got dark several groups of mercenaries showed up and I quickly took care of them with a few Fuuton Jutsu. When I was done I was attacked from behind by those two."Looked at Sasuke and Sakura. "and then proceeded to incapacitated them. That's when the others got back. After that they were bound and gagged, and fed the minimum to survive until we got back here." Naruto finished.

Sarutobi was dumbfounded at the stupidity of the two Genin. He had heard of Genin not getting along but this was unbelievable. If he could he would have both of them thrown in ANBU prison, but Sasuke was under the care of Koharu and Homura, and since they were so politically connected they were the ones that would see to Sasuke's punishment. Though he doubted there would be any. And Sakura was the daughter of the head of the Civilian Council, if she was punished Isako would rally the civilians into a frenzy saying that the 'Demon Brat' corrupted her daughter and they would have a civil war between the shinobi and civilians. That was something they couldn't afford to happen with the Chunin exams so close. He just sighed and signaled two ANBU to take them to a holding cell for the time being.

"Alright, well that's going to cause some major headaches later. Now Zabuza, if I were to accept you as a shinobi of my village, what could you offer?" The old man said leaning forward, interlacing his fingers and setting his head on them. Zabuza stepped forward.

"I am a kenjutsu master and the blonde said you needed more. I can teach the younger generation how to wield just about any type of sword they want, and the Silent Killing Technique. My daughter has a bloodline and is fairly skilled as a medic with extensive knowledge of the human body. She is a solid Chunin in both skill and power." He said.

"Well that's good. Haku can be accepted immediately as she was never recorded as a shinobi of another village and will be assigned the rank of Chunin. You will be interrogated for the next few days to find out if your motives for joining the village are what I believe they are and not here to spy. After that you will be restricted to wherever I put you to live, and the grocery. You're chakra will be temporarily sealed and if you wish to train you will need my permission. If you show good behavior you'll get everything back a few days before the Chunin Exams start. Is that understood?" The Hokage explained.

"Yea that's fine. But I want the blonde to take care of my sword, no one but him touches it." Zabuza said looking at Naruto who nodded and took the scroll that had their weapons from Kakashi. And another ANBU appeared and took Zabuza away. The Hokage then pulled out a Chunin flak jacket and Konoha Hitai-ate and gave them to Haku, who bowed and thanked him.

"Now Naruto there is one last thing I want to give you before you're dismissed." Sarutobi got up and walked over to his bookshelf and pulled several books from it. Then walked over to Naruto and gave them to him. "Those are the most recent update of Konoha's laws. I know you know the basic ones but I'm sure that you're going to be called forth by the Council to explain what happened, and it would be best if you had an intimate knowledge of the village's laws. You can go now." With that the four left and if they looked back they would have seen an old man reading a familiar orange book.

On the road back to Naruto's apartment Haku and Kushina were looking at all the different buildings. Kushina because things hadn't really changes, and Haku because she hadn't been in a shinobi village since she was about 7 and even then the buildings were half falling down. It was pretty silent until Kushina voiced a question.

"Hey Naruto, can I meet your girlfriend?"

"Well it's almost nine so she should be just getting home from training. So I guess we could." He responded after he looked into one of the shops for a clock. With that the two women grabbed Naruto who Shunshined to her apartment. Naruto knocked.

"Hang on a second." Came a voice from inside. They heard shuffling and guessed she was putting things away. A few seconds later Tenten opened the door.

"Hey Ten-chan, I'm back." Was all Naruto got out before he was grabbed by Tenten in a bone crushing hug.

"Naruto-kun, I missed you so much. But who are they?" She asked as she let go and looked behind him.

"Oh right. The black haired girl is Momochi Haku, adopted daughter of Momochi Zabuza. And the other woman is the surprise I told you about. She's my mom, Uzumaki Kushina." Haku politely bowed to Tenten, and Kushina smiled and nodded. Tenten however barely noticed either of the gestures, she just stared at Kushina. She couldn't believe it. One of her idols was standing on her doorstep. Naruto knew Tenten idolized his mother and mentally counted down from three before the show started.

"Oh my god. You're Uzumaki Kushina the "Red Death" and "Bloody Queen". Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. I have to get your autograph. Please! Please! Please!" she shouted excitedly and ran back into her room, returning a few seconds later with a piece of paper and a pen. Kushina internally chuckled as she signed the paper and gave it back to her. She then squealed and ran back inside and taped it to her wall underneath an old Bingo Book entry of her.

"Wow Ten-can, talk about a fangirl moment." Naruto chuckled.

"Hey. You know she's one of my idols and greatest inspiration. And if you mention this to anyone I don't care if you're my boyfriend I will shove a spear up your ass." She said with a glare. Naruto just nodded and covered his ass.

"Well, can I spend the night here? Mom you and Haku can share my apartment. It's only up one floor, room 415." Tenten nodded and Naruto handed his key to his mom as well as unsealed he Chokuto and gave that to her.

"Alright Naruto. Tenten don't let him convince you to have sex. I may want grandbabies but not this early." The two blushed at the insinuation and with an indignant 'Hey!' from the two lovers she and Haku vanished.

Naruto walked into Tenten's apartment and sat down on her bed as Tenten closed the door.

"Hey Tenten, are you really okay with the whole CRA thing? I know you said you were but I want to make sure." Naruto asked looking at her. Tenten hesitated for a few seconds before she responded.

"I know I said that but in all honesty…I don't feel comfortable with having to share you. I only said that I was okay with it because I don't want to leave you." She said looking away, clearly sad, but relieved that she admitted it. She then heard Naruto get up and a second later wrap his arms around her.

"That's okay Tenten. I honestly was a little relieved but frightened when you said you were okay with it. I know how possessive you are. I will do my best to make sure you are the only one that I marry." With that he gently kissed her neck. The stood there for several minutes before Naruto let go of her and began to get ready for bed. Tenten stood there for a few more seconds before she did too. Naruto then made several Kage Bushin and set them to reading the books. When Tenten saw this he just replied he may have to face the Council tomorrow and that he was too tired to talk about it right now. Tenten nodded and said they would talk about it in the morning. They both climbed in bed, Naruto wrapping his arms around Tenten and the both fell asleep.

Naruto was awoken when the Kage Bushin dispersed and processed the information he looked at the clock on his girlfriend's wall, it was only 2:45 in the morning. As he was about to go back to sleep there was a knocking on the door. He silently groaned, made another Kage Bushin and Kawarimied with it so he could answer the door without waking Tenten. He answered the door to find an ANBU with a Rat mask.

"Uzumaki Naruto you are hereby requested to come before the Council." He said monotonously. Naruto just looked at him sleepily before responding.

"Show me the Hokage's official summons and I'll go." He didn't receive a response. "You do know that in order for a shinobi to be called to a Council meeting they must be shown an official summons by the reining Hokage, right." Again no response. "Well if you don't have one come back when you do. Good night." And then shut the door in the ANBU's face, mask, whatever, and then went back to bed.

An hour later Naruto was again woken by a knock at the door, this time it was a bit louder and sounded like the person was annoyed. Naruto once again replaced himself with a Kage Bushin and answered the door to find the Rat masked ANBU again.

"Here's the official summons Uzumaki, now get dressed and lets go." Yup he was slightly annoyed. Naruto opened it and made sure it was indeed the Hokage's handwriting, which it was, and then went to get dressed. He came out a few minutes later wearing his normal shinobi clothes and his katana's in their rightful places. The ANBU then grabbed him and Shunshined to just outside the Council Chambers, where there were two more ANBU, one of which Naruto recognized.

"Morning Cat-nee-chan." Said ANBU just nodded in acknowledgement and opened the door letting Naruto inside.
