Okay I'm back with Seals. You probably know that I recently updated my new story Ninja Assassin. I just have to say that its really fun writing that story and that's just a side project compared to this story.
I'm sorry if I'm taking a long time, but college is a hassle. And I'm not even in a University, I'm in community, and when I get to that University then these updates are gonna get really scarce. Only because I have yet to achieve laptop status.
Also I would like to say that this chapter would have been out, if it wasn't for the site not letting me upload it. I've been trying since October 13, with no results. But finally the site let me upload. I'm finally glad that its here and now you guys can finally enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto… one of these days I will rise up from my computer chair and I will march all the way to the airport, fly to Japan, and search for Kishimoto. I will then knock on his door and when he answers, he's gone get punched. Then I will search the house, find Naruto and book it. Imma be gone by the time the cops arrive.
On a final note, I've changed something in one of the previous chapters. Sakumo and his wife aren't having Kakashi yet. I'm going to push that until later. That's all for now, so start reading.
Seals of Forgotten Time Chapter: Seven
XxX Immediately Following the Last Chapter XxX
Naruto looked at his plate to see, eggs and sausage, with hash browns and most of all, three pancakes stacked high. Unfortunately that was about five minutes ago. Now all that remained was syrupy residue and bits of eggs.
The silvery haired shinobi leaned back and patted his stomach in content, as he looked around the table. Like him everybody had the same amount of food. And also like him they were rubbing their bellies in content.
Well the children were, Tsunade was picking her teeth with a senbon needle, to remove some excess sausage skin. "That was a delicious breakfast Naruto-kun." Tsuande said smiling at her fiancé.
"Why thank you Tsu-hime." Naruto said smiling at her, before he turned to the children, "How did you like the meal you three?"
They each perked up and extended their plates. "Can we have seconds?" they each said with smiles on their faces.
Naruto rubbed his chin in thought, "Maybe later, now is the time to get you three some better clothes."
The three children frowned, before the prospect of getting new things entered their minds and they smiled brightly. "Really, we're going to get new clothes." Konan said with hearts in her eyes.
'Ah jeez, females and their urge to shop.' Naruto nearly forced himself to think. "Konan, Tsunade, you two should go together. I'll take Nagato and Yahiko." he said sweetly to the girls in the room.
"Of course, you would probably buy her things she didn't want." Tsunade said hugging the blue haired child against her bosom.
Naruto appeared behind Nagato and Yahiko and rubbed each of their heads. "So then its set." Naruto said smirking. He looked at Yahiko. "You ready to get ready smartass?"
"I'm ready as I can be stupid." Yahiko said making Naruto's eyebrow twitch.
Nagato could feel the aura around Naruto and shuddered, "I think you should stop with the insults Yahiko." the red head whispered.
"Never, its fun." the orange haired boy whispered back.
"Oh I'm gonna make you boys strong." Naruto said smirking as they disappeared in a body flicker.
Tsunade and Konan just stood there looking at the interaction and was sweat dropping. "Naruto-sensei isn't going to torture me too, is he?" Konan asked with concern in her voice and eyes.
Tsunade looked down at the cute girl and frowned. "Umm, lets go shopping and not think about that." she said ushering the bluenette to the door.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Naruto walked around the small village with his two students/children in tow. Yes now that he's thinking about it, he kind of considered the three orphans as his children. 'I think it would've happened even if Nagato wasn't my cousin.' he thought smiling as Yahiko grabbed his hand, dragging him towards a clothes store.
"Come on stupid, in here." Yahiko continued to taunt. Naruto just ignored the insult and allowed himself to be dragged by the child. Nagato just followed them, already having given up on stopping Yahiko from insulting his cousin.
"Hello, welcome to my clothing store. I hope you enjoy your shopping." a sweet middle aged woman said.
Naruto smiled at her and nodded a thanks. It was then that he noticed that Yahiko had let go of his hand and was currently running through the store. Naruto looked down at his cousin, "Nagato, why don't you go find something to wear." he said nudging the child towards some racks.
"Hai, itoko-sensei." Nagato said walking forward and joining Yahiko in shopping.
Naruto raised his eyebrow at Nagato's title for him. 'Well, its better than stupid or idiot, or ignoramus. How does he even know that word!' he thought incredulously.
"Aww, your children are adorable." Naruto heard a voice from behind him.
He turned to see the shopkeeper smiling. "What, they're not my kids. But I do think of them as my children." Naruto said softly with a smile.
"So, you're a single parent raising two young boys. That's kind of sexy." she said softly finding Naruto incredibly handsome and brave for raising two children.
Naruto was about to answer when his mouth zipped shut and sweat started rolling all over his face. "I'd hate to tell you, but that hunk of man is already taken."
The woman turned around to see Tsunade standing there, with Konan by her side. "And how do you know?" she asked unaware of the consequences.
"I'm his fiancé, that's how." the blonde said cracking her knuckles. Fortunately, Naruto was able to quell Tsunade's irritation by lightly grasping her fists in his.
"Calm down, Tsu-hime. She didn't know the situation of the topic." he spoke softly.
While Naruto was calming Tsunade down, Konan joined her fellow orphan family. "How long have you two being here?" she asked eyeing their separate piles of clothing.
"A couple of minutes and we've already got three outfits, each." Yahiko said looking at his clothes in acceptance.
"Are you just now starting to shop?" Nagato asked from his position on a nearby bench, trying on a pair of black shoes.
The bluenette shook her head, "No, this was like, the second place we went to since leaving the hotel."
"WHAT! How did you already shop at a different store in the span of no less than ten minutes?" they both shouted, before only Yahiko spoke.
Konan giggled at their shocked faces. "The last place was really good. It was too bad, they didn't have anymore clothes that could fit me." she said smiling as she looked at the adult couple.
Naruto currently had Tsunade's face in his hands, palm on each cheek. "Tsunade, when are you going to calm down?" he asked a little irritated.
"As soon as I have this baby." she nearly screamed.
Naruto growled, "But that's nine months away."
By now Tsunade had wrestled his hands free of her face and her scowl could be seen as bright as day. "Well maybe you should have thought against knocking me up." she said crossing her arms over her large breast.
Naruto smirked at the blonde, "I knocked you up because I love you. And I cant wait for you to have your baby." he said smiling.
Naruto didn't get a response, other then Tsunade smothering him in her bosom, with light tears rolling down her face. 'Hormones.' Naruto droned in his mind.
The Ame orphans sweat dropped at the scene. "I hope she's not like this all the time." Yahiko whispered, incase she could hear them.
"I don't know, Kaa-chan wasn't that moody when we left the hotel." Konan said watching as Tsunade released Naruto, less he end up dead form lack of oxygen.
"Kaa-chan? When did that happen?" Yahiko asked, as he was always the brash one.
"Well yeah. I consider Tsunade-sama, my new mother. Don't you feel the same towards Naruto-sensei? He's like our new father." Konan questioned as she absently caressed her origami flower in her hair.
"I know I do. Even though he's already my cousin, I can already feel a bond forming between us." Nagato kind of meekly.
"Well I don't. I don't want to be related to an idiot." Yahiko said, obviously doubting his true feelings.
"WHAT!" Naruto yelled from across the room. He stomped towards the youngsters cracking his knuckles. "Ooh, I cant wait until we get to the village." he mused evilly as two shadow clones appeared to take the clothes to the front to be paid for.
Naruto's features softened as he looked at Konan, "You already have what you want right Konan-chan?" Naruto asked.
Konan nodded her head with a smile on her face. "Hai Tou-sensei." she chirped happily. Naruto smiled and tussled her hair a little, being mindful of the paper flower in her hair.
"Good…" he said standing to his full height. "After we return to the hotel and you three get dressed, we'll continue towards Konoha." he said turning and grabbing Tsunade's hand and walking out of the store with the clones carrying the bags.
"What just happened? Why was the idiot so nice to you, when he was mean to me and Nagato?" Yahiko asked as they trailed behind the adults, keeping his voice at a whisper.
"Whoa, speak for yourself. He's only being mean to you, because you keep calling him an idiot." Nagato said with an equal whisper.
"Yeah, maybe if you stop calling him an idiot then he'll lighten up on you." Konan said as she lightly flicked Yahiko in the forehead.
Yahiko held his forehead in indignation and slightly glared at Konan. "What you do that for?"
She giggled at his mad face and smiled. "Because you deserve it." she said as they finally arrived at the hotel.
Naruto smiled as he had heard everything the kids were say. The pleasures of chakra. "Alright you three, go get dressed and I'll have a clone get lunch ready."
Yahiko and Nagato immediately grabbed their respective bag from the clone and ran into the room. Konan walked in front of Tsunade and smiled. Tsunade returned the smiled and unsealed her scroll.
Out from the scroll was five large bags of clothes. "I really shouldn't be surprised, but damn that's a lot of clothes." Naruto said with wide eyes.
Tsunade giggled, "You know I love to shop, whenever I can." she said rubbing her head, just like Naruto would always do.
Naruto rolled his eyes and watched as Konan gathered an outfit and walked into the other bedroom. He nodded at the clone that had yet to dispel and it began the making of lunch, grumbling about lazy bosses.
"So what are you going to do, when we get to the village. If your serious like I know you are about this marriage than being an ANBU captain isn't a good idea." Tsunade said as she and Naruto cuddled on a couch.
"If you know that, than it's pretty obvious what I'm going to do." Naruto said before receiving a small and yet painful hit to his chest. "Oww. No super hits." he chastised the blonde.
Tsunade smirked, "Oh, you'll know if the punch is super." she said snickering and lightly pinching his chest.
Naruto rolled his eyes again and leaned his head against her own head, which resided on part of his chest. "But yeah, when we get to Konoha, it's straight to Ni-san to tell him I resign from the ANBU corps. Its been five years anyway, a year pass a full term." he said slowly playing with one of her ponytails.
"Speaking of your brother, do you think he's going to finally fund the training of field medics to be apart of every squad?" She asked slightly raising her head to look into his eyes.
Naruto smiled, "Definitely, now that the war is over he can focus on that. I'm sure Sakumo or Orochimaru has already told him the news."
XxX In Konoha XxX
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in his desk. He had grown a lot older, now nearing his forties. He had also grown in strength and respect. Thanks to Sakumo, he now knew the war was over. The civilians and ninja were already in the streets celebrating their victory, the second time the leaf village has escaped destruction by their enemies.
This war did gain a couple of things, like with the surrender of Suna, they had agreed to sign an alliance treaty with their previous enemies. The treaty was faced with animosity on both sides of the signing. Like the honored siblings, mostly Chiyo, had a deep resentment towards both Tsunade, for the countless times she found cures for her poison. And most of all Sakumo, the White Fang of Konoha, had killed her parents.
Ebizo didn't have any resentment, because he knew it was part of war.
Hiruzen sighed as he thought of the people who were responsible for the outcome. Naruto and Sakumo. Those two really put themselves in all kinds of danger to destroy their enemies. 'Kai helped also, but she wasn't much of a heavy fighter like her teammates. She's more into illusionary techniques and sensing enemies.'
Hiruzen thought about Sakumo's wife. He had married them as soon as they were seventeen.
Those two, Kai and Sakumo, loved each other deeply and married despite a war being active. They tried to convince Naruto to marry Tsunade, but he was stubborn about Tsunade being further targeted because of her status and all that noise.
Thinking about Tsunade made him think about the rest of his team and their contribution to the war. Orochimaru was ruthless and calm as ever, always striving to overachieve whenever it was possible. Jiraiya was both idiotic and heroic in rescuing many platoons of shinobi with his large arsenal of techniques. And back to Tsunade, who he felt was also the reason they won the war. If it was not for her, many counteractions against Chiyo's poison, Konoha would've suffered far more losses in this war. It was too bad she and Naruto haven't wed yet.
Thinking about Tsunade made him think about his own love life. His wife, Biwako, had gave birth to a healthy son. His son's name was Kensei Sarutobi, named after Biwako's father. He was already showing himself to be a competent shinobi at his age of ten. He and his wife had been married for about thirteen years.
It was because of her that, he embodied the Will of Fire so fervently. He and Naruto, his little adoptive brother, turned dangerous man. The Will of Fire was literally blazing with them both.
Hiruzen heard a knock at his door and sighed, 'I guess break time is over.' he thought as he signaled for the person to enter with the word 'Enter.'
The person turned out to be his secretary, "Sir, you have a Danzo here." the red head said.
'Hmm? What could Danzo want?" Hiruzen thought curiously. "Yeah, sure bring him in."
No sooner did he say that, the man in question walked in from behind the secretary. He had bandages around his head, covering his right eye, and his right sleeve was tied neatly to prevent it from hanging loosely. He still wore a Jounin outfit and he didn't seem to get weaker, due to his missing appendage.
He held his left hand up, signaling for his two subordinates to leave him to his privacy with the Hokage. They nodded and vanished.
The Professor raised his eye brows, "Was that your personal Root you've been working on these past five years?" he asked interlacing his fingers and having them overlapping his mouth.
Danzo nodded, "Hai, they were a little difficult to train, due to the fact that my regime is brutal. But it panned out alright, with a little side affects." he muttered the last part, but it was still heard by the Hokage.
"Side affects? What kind of side affects?" Hiruzen questioned narrowing his eyes at his advisor.
Danzo ignored the looked and gazed to wear he knew one of the hidden ANBU were, well hiding. "Well as you know, your ANBU, handle dangerous missions that have reached your attention. They are strong and loyal to you and most importantly they retain their emotions for when they're off duty." he began explaining.
The war hawk's eyes quickly glanced at Hiruzen, "Well my Root, are pretty much the same with some rather minor tweaks."
"What kind of tweaks are you speaking of?" The fire shadow asked rather curiously since, his knowledge of the group was rather scarce.
"Well, like your ANBU they handle dangerous missions, except these missions, don't ever reach the light of day. Meaning that we protect the 'Root' of the great Tree of Konoha from the shadows." he stopped and broke eye contact with the Hokage. "They are also only loyal to me." he added waiting for the outburst, but it never came.
"So your telling me that, you have a group of individuals that go on even more dangerous missions then my own ANBU…" he deducted letting the information settle in his mind. "How do they feel about that?" he finally asked.
"Not a damn thing." he said making Hiruzen's eyes widen. "It seems sometime during their training, their minds broke completely. They're completely emotionless, they don't feel a thing. Their prime objective is the mission. Its amazing how much success they've had in the field." he said crazily grinning wide.
Sarutobi stood to his feet, from behind his desk. "Danzo, that's inhuman. You've took the emotions from human beings to complete your own gains."
"No, not my gains. The village's. You know that I love the village and want to protect it more than I want to protect anything else. Root does just that. You are the leaves that bathe in the sun. While I am the roots that grow in the dark."
Sarutobi glared at Danzo for awhile. He knew that Root has been busy and from the vague understanding, the missions they went on were the dirtiest of the dirty missions shinobi could go on. But he couldn't deny that they were essential for their prowess in the stealth game.
He then walked towards the window and looked over his village. Seeing all the smiling faces made him smile, before he imagined them emotionless with a sword in hand. He closed his eyes tight. "I'm sorry Danzo, but I'm going to have to disband your project."
This angered Danzo, "What! Did you not hear what I've just told you?"
"I've heard every single word. And don't get me wrong, during a war they are outstanding and highly appreciated."
"Then why are yo-"
"But that's just it, the war is over. They are no longer needed. We have entered the era of peace and Root is chaotic. Dismissed." he said waving his hand at the man.
"But Hokag-" Danzo tried to question, only to have a force of KI dropped on him.
"I said dismissed." he ordered keeping an eye on Danzo's reflection.
Danzo's eyes narrowed and darkened. He gave a short bow and glared at Sarutobi's back. "You're a fool Hiruzen. Peace in a shinobi world will not last forever." he said as he turned and left the office.
'I have a bad feeling about the future.' Hiruzen mused.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Danzo walked out of the large red building and was soon joined by his two agents. "I take it by your emotionless face that the Hokage didn't take it well." the male agent on his left said as the trio soon took to the rooftops.
Danzo kept his gaze ahead. "It could have been worse."
"How so Danzo-sama?" the female on the right asked.
"I could have went into detail about how you lost your emotions." Danzo said.
Though the two didn't have any emotions, they couldn't help but shiver at the thought of the training they went through. Having to kill the person they thought of as a sibling just to survive was horrible. The amount of mental conditioning they each went through after was just as horrible and the final fight against Danzo himself always put each of them in the ward.
Danzo would absolutely admit that medical Ninjutsu was a great asset to have and had to applaud Tsuande on her ingenious amount of knowledge on the subject. Her and the other two were a strong team, slightly trailing behind Naruto and his own team.
One of his agents had juest returned form the battlefield telling him that Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya were crowned the Densetsu no Sannin by Hanzo of the Salamander, just before the Futago no Gin Okami came and finished the job. More importantly Naruto, laid waste to the man.
Naruto, the Senso no Kami (God of War) or Shinobi no Kami (God of Shinobi). Whatever he wanted to be called, was truly a force of nature, just like his namesake, maelstrom. Even without that bloodline of his, he was considered an S-Rank ninja, and he knew that Hiruzen was even considering stepping down to have Naruto take the thrown, so to speak, next.
"Are you really going to let the Hokage disband what you've worked so hard on?" the male agent said knocking Danzo from his thoughts.
The war hawk scoffed, "Quite the opposite. I now know that giving Sarutobi that update was a bad idea, so we're going to have to do some relocating. Its time for us to really go underground." he said emotionlessly.
XxX With Naruto XxX
Naruto and Tsunade were walking with the Ame Orphans, now dubbed their unofficial children, who were positioned in front of them.
Yahiko, the official leader of the three, wore a dark red shirt and a pair of black shorts. With a pair of black sandals.
Nagato wore a pair of black pants and a similar dark red shirt. He also wore a pair of black sandals.
Konan wore a white blouse, similar to Tsunade's own white blouse, and a pair of black pants.
Ultimately they looked like a team, all they needed was shinobi gear and the skills to go with them.
"Naruto-kun, did we leave anything at the hotel?" Tsunade asked from her place beside the silver haired man.
Naruto raised his eye brow at the weird question. "No Tsu-hime. I have everything sealed up." he said taking the scroll out of his pouch for proof. "Why such an odd question?" he asked the blonde female curiously.
She shrugged, "No reason." she said.
Naruto gazed at her for a while. "Your bored huh?" he came to the conclusion, causing her to nodded her head. "Me too." he said hanging his head solemnly.
"Maybe if we were already in the village then, we wouldn't be bored anymore." Tsunade analyzed, because then they would have things to do, except walk slowly to their destination.
"Yeah and then I would be able to tortu-, Uh I mean train those three." he said chuckling as he rubbed the back of his head. "Not to mention, they can go to the Academy." 'With my father.' he thought knowing that Minato was found, just like he was. And was now in the academy learning the basics.
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. They could learn their basics, while we teach them more advance things. They going to be the strongest group ever to come out of the academy, since, well us." Tsunade said lightly bouncing causing her bust to jiggling within Naruto's sight.
Naruto grinned, hypnotized by the cleavage. "Yes to the academy." he droned before shaking his head. "Yeah, we better hurry up. Going this pace is starting to get to me." he said making seal less clones before they snatched up the surprised children and they took to the trees.
"With this new speed, we shall be in the village within the hour." Naruto said as trees literally blurred by them.
XxX An Hour Later XxX
Naruto laughed as he Yahiko continued to curse him for just snatching him up like that. "Calm down 'Hiko-chan." Naruto said between chuckles.
"No, that was just mean. I was unprepared and I got a little sick." the orange haired child said, his face red with anger.
Naruto stopped laughing and frowned. "I'm sorry Yahiko-kun, maybe I set the speed a little to fast. Can you forgive me?" he asked crouching down to his level and laying a hand on his shoulder.
The other three waited with baited breath, hoping that Yahiko would except his apology. They weren't disappointed when Yahiko suddenly wrapped Naruto in a hug. "Apology excepted… Tou-san."
The Uzumaki stopped frowning and smiled softly and returned the hug. He had to remember that Yahiko was without a family for a long time and it was his job to fill in that void.
Naruto released the hug and kept his hand on Yahiko's shoulder as they walked closer to the village.
"Ah, Naruto-san, Tsunade-san, welcome back to the village." one of the Chunin gate guards said bowing.
"How's it going Riko-san? Still a Chunin gate guard I see." Naruto said waving at the female Chunin.
"Hai, it's a relaxing job and I don't feel like advancing a rank." Riko said slightly blushing. She was always blushing, everywhere she went. "Oh and who's the cute little munchkins." she said noticing the three kids behind both Naruto and Tsunade.
Tsunade chose this moment to enter the conversation. "These three are going to be our children, as soon as we get to the Hokage. The red head one is Nagato-kun, the bluenette is Konan-chan, and the orange haired one is Yahiko-kun."
Thankfully Nagato's hair was covering his eyes and Riko couldn't see the Rinnegan on full blast like it always was. "Come on you three say hi to the nice lady." Naruto said softly scooting Yahiko and Konan forward, while Tsunade did the same with Nagato.
"Hello Riko-san." they said in unison.
"Naruto-sensei can we go now?" Yahiko asked pulling on Naruto's pants leg as he futilely tried to drag Naruto towards the Hokage building.
Naruto chuckled, "Alright Riko-san, I'll be going now. I still think you should take your Jonin Exams." he said finally letting Yahiko drag him away.
As soon as they were away from the gate, they noticed that people were out and about, celebrating the victory of winning the war. "Wow people are really letting loose." Tsunade commented, seeing all the sake in the hands of adults while kids ran through the streets.
"Yeah, its great that they're enjoying themselves." Naruto said as people began cheering him, knowing he was a big reason they were victorious.
"Hurry." Yahiko said dragging him harder.
Naruto and the others chuckled and after five minutes they were entering the large red building.
Naruto waved to the many passing secretaries and soon they appeared at the large door with the leader of the village behind it. "Now I want you three to be on your best behavior." he said only looking at Yahiko, who looked sheepish at being singled out.
"Hi Nii-sama." Naruto said busting through the door, completely contradicting what he just told the kids.
Hiruzen sighed, slowly shaking his head. While it was normal for Naruto to call him Nii-sama and bust through the door, it was starting to get frustrating. "Hello, to you too Naruto-otouto." Hiruzen said cracking open an eye. "I see you brought more than Hanzo home with you." he said already knowing that the silver haired captain would be bring the previous leader of Ame's body to be analyzed and all that good stuff.
Naruto nodded taking out said scroll and throwing it at a random corner, only for it to disappear. An ANBU already transporting it to the place that do the dissections and the experiments and all that good stuff. "Hai Nii-sama. These three followed us, shortly after defeating Hanzo. I think you'll be surprised that all of them are special." he said smiling.
Hiruzen had the feeling that this was going to be a surprising meeting. "Enlighten me Naruto-kun. How special could they be?"
Naruto smiled, "Well this one…" he said indicating Yahiko. "Uh, I don't really know yet, but I know he's pretty smart for his age." he said lightly tapping on his head. He moved over to Konan, "This one has a very special bloodline that allows her to control paper. She might even be able to turn into a flock of paper when she gets stronger." he said knowing that much, since Jiraiya told him when they were training for those three years.
Finally Naruto moved to Nagato. "This one is the most surprising Nii-sama. Not only is he my cousin…" he said watching Hiruzen's eyes widen, since that meant that the little boy was an Uzumaki and the only Uzumaki's left after the destruction of their village were Mito, who was very old, Naruto, Kushina, who came to become the next Jinchuriki and was currently in the Academy, and now this little boy. Before he could even ask how he knew this, Naruto moved the strands of hair away from his eyes, "But he also has the Rinnegan." he said finally letting the Hokage's head drop on his desk, completely out of it.
Tsunade giggled, "He took that well."
"And that's not even all the news I have to tell him." Naruto commented chuckling also.
XxX An Hour Later XxX
After recovering and learning the other information Naruto had to offer, Hiruzen mulled over the information given. "So your telling me that, you want these three to be your children and students. You want to resign from the Corps and return to being an Elite Jonin and a sensei at that. Your finally going to marry Tsunade because she's now pregnant… did I leave anything out?" Hiruzen said leaning against his hand.
The spiky haired Jonin rubbed his chin in thought, "Yeah, you forgot the part where my team becomes stronger than your own." Naruto said smirking proudly.
Naruto's smirk became a grimace as he was poked in the side. He turned his head to see Tsunade whistling innocently. "You better be careful Otouto, I've trained my students to near perfection. They've even went up against Hanzo the Salamander himself."
"And I killed him myself."
"True, only after my team wore him out."
"My ass they did." Naruto scoffed before getting poked again. "Ouch Tsunade-chan that hurts." Naruto groaned.
"Stop arguing with sensei." she chided.
Naruto glared at Hiruzen's smirk. "This isn't over Nii-sama. You might have trained your team to near perfection, but my team is going to be absolute." he said leaving the room.
The three new, official, members of Naruto's family sensed the tension in the room leave with Naruto and decided to leave with him.
Tsunade watched her children leave and sighed. "Did you really have to do all that sensei?" the blonde said resting her hands on her hips.
Hiruzen smiled, "You already know I had too. I did the same with you three. I told you three, what you couldn't accomplish and sat back and watched you accomplish everything. Naruto's going to do the same to his team."
Tsunade frowned, knowing how insanely brutal her sensei's training was. She mentally shuddered at having to think about it. And if she knew her Naruto-kun, his training was even more brutal. 'Who knew a Nara could be so vicious?' Tsunade thought about the infamous man who trained Naruto, Sakumo and Kai.
His name was Shinzu Nara, like all Nara's he was both incredibly smart and equally lazy. But unlike other Naras he was easily motivated. His ambition to put his team through hell was easily accomplished, she was glad they returned from that hell.
She was interrupted from her thoughts when the door opened. She smiled when one of the subjects of her thoughts walked through. "Tsunade-chan, I didn't know you were back." One Hatake Kai said closing the distance between them and hugging her.
She was a very beautiful woman. She had long and beautiful snow white hair, that reached her back, but was currently in a single ponytail. Exotic crystal blue eyes and plump lips covered in blue lipstick. She wore a dark blue dress that went to the middle of thighs. Over her shoulders was a white jacket. Her dress was slit both, down the side of her left leg and also down her chest. She had a large C-cup bust and another bump, signifying her pregnant status. To finish it off, she had on a pair of regular sandals, because she was pregnant.
"Oh wow, you look amazing Kai-chan, I didn't know you were pregnant?" She said hugging her again. "What's the occasion?" she asked this time indicating the clothes.
"Nothing really. Me and Sakumo-koi are just out enjoying each other's company." Kai said.
Tsunade rose her eyebrow, "Really, then what are you doing here?"
Kai smiled widely. "We sensed Naruto's return long ago. Being a sensor I'm able to judge someone's chakra and I can tell that Naruto's usual calm chakra was all over the place in happiness. Sakumo was able to prevent me from coming to see what caused it for only an hour. Well here I am, now tell me the good news." she said smiling and preventing herself from using her skills to find out what, since it'll ruin the surprise.
Tsunade giggled a little and lightly scratched the back of her head. "Well…"
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Wow Naruto, I leave you alone for a couple of days and you already have three kids with one on the way." Sakumo said shaking his head. He was only wearing a dark blue button shirt and white pants and white sandals, while his wife had his white jacket. His short white hair was… kind of presentable. It was still spiky and shaggy at the same time, the ponytail in the back was slightly cut shorter and neatly tied.
Naruto chuckled while rubbing the back of his head. His official children snickered in their seats by the two adults. "What can I say, a lot of things happened after you left."
"I can tell. So this is your team?" he said looking at the kids.
Naruto smiled and looked at the children. "Yeah, I'm going to torture the hell out of them." he whispered.
Naruto and Sakumo smiled when they heard a yell of happiness. "I guess Kai-chan found out about my pregnant wife to be." Naruto said chuckling.
"Yeah, it's surprising that she just ignored these three here." Sakumo said slightly disappointed.
Naruto nodded, "She must've only been focused on me and Tsunade. That and these three are still new to the village."
Just when Naruto said that Kai came out of nowhere and wrapped her arms around the Uzumaki, being mindful of the large belly. "Congratulations Naruto-nii." Kai squealed putting all the hugging power she could.
Naruto chuckled, "Arigato Kai-oneechan." Naruto said returning the hug. Feeling her large stomach, Naruto chuckled. "Wow, you're really blowing up Oneechan." he said releasing the hug. He then rubbed the large stomach. "How far along are you now?"
"Five months." she said happily now joining in the rubbing. "I cant wait until I have this baby so I can get into my sexier dresses for Saku-kun. So when are you going to have your wedding?" the snow haired woman asked
"Its going to be maybe a week away." Tsunade said walking down the stairs.
Kai let out a small gasp, "Why so far away?" she said looking at Naruto.
"We have to get the children settled into the house. Also we have to show them around the village and get them familiar with it." Naruto listed off some reason, to which Kai only heard one word.
"Children? You already have children." she said causing Naruto to smile and point at the three who were whispering to each other. "Aww, there so adorable." she squealed and quickly appeared in front of them, comically hugging all three.
After a few minutes of just seeing Kai smother the former orphans, Tsunade stop it with a clearing of her throat.
Kai blushed in embarrassment and backed up a little. "What are your names little darlings?" she asked still quite bubbly.
"Konan Uzumaki." the bluenette said giggling at the older woman.
"Yahiko Uzumaki." the orange haired child said plainly.
"Nagato Uzumaki." Nagato smiled, being the only one who didn't have his name changed.
"Oh there so adorable." Kai said again. "So I guess the red head here is a true Uzumaki." she said indicating his ripple patterned eyes.
"Yea, that's my cousin." Naruto sighed having to explain that for about the second maybe third time since they united.
"Yes Kai-hime, that's his cousin. Now they have a lot to do, so can we get back to our date?" Sakumo grumbled crossing his arms.
Kai stood to her full height. "Fine Sakumo-kun." she pouted also crossing her arms. "Until next time Naruto-kun, Tsunade-chan… adorable kids." she said walking to Sakumo and letting him lead her out of the building.
Naruto watched his Genin team walk out of the building. "Well, now its time to show these three their new home."
Tsunade nodded and gestured for the kids to follow them. With that Naruto and company began their journey to the clan district of the village.
It took them little over twenty minutes to get there, because they toured the former orphans on the way.
The orphans were surprised to see such a regular house. Sure it was big, but compared to the Hyuga Mansion across the way, it was tame. It was a large two story building that had some cherry blossom trees framing the walkway. A large lake was in the back, next door to a separate training room.
From what they can tell, just from looking from the outside, it had to have at least six bedrooms. How many bathrooms was unknown due to the fact that they only seen six windows, from the front of the house.
"Wow!" they exclaimed still quite amazed from the realization that they were going to be living there.
"Get comfortable you three, because after the wedding your going to miss it." he said smirking, ignoring Tsunade's poke at his ribs.
The three rolled their eyes, but knowing that he wasn't playing. "Stop scaring them Naruto-kun." Tsunade chastised.
Naruto scoffed, "Scared? They don't look scared at all. Whatever, show them around the place, I need to go somewhere." Naruto said resting his hand on Nagato's head.
"Where are you going and why do you need to take Nagato with you?" she curiously asked.
"I'm taking Nagato to see baa-chan. She's still the head of the Uzumaki." Naruto said leaning in to kiss Tsunade.
She slightly moaned, "Hurry back and say hi to grandma for me." the blonde said smiling as the Uzumakis vanished in a body flicker.
Yahiko and Konan looked at Tsunade in slight concern. "What's going to happen to Nagato-kun?" Konan asked.
"Hmm?" Tsunade sounded, barely hearing what Konan asked as she was still immersed in the feeling of kissing Naruto. "Oh yeah, Nagato is going to be fine. You have nothing to worry about Konan-chan. Now lets get you two settled." Tsunade said leading them into the house.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Naruto appeared deep in the residential district of the village. A few children were still out playing, before the sun completely disappeared. Mothers sat in chairs, already tired from their short celebration of winning the war.
"So you said this 'baa-chan' person was still the head of the clan. How come you haven't took over?" Nagato asked.
"We actually had that conversation after we finished fighting." Naruto said looking down at the young red head.
"You fought the clan head! What are you crazy?" Nagato said knowing that Naruto was obviously crazy.
"I'm not crazy, but man was that a good fight. It happened about a decade ago." 'I fought two Uzumaki woman in the span of twenty four hours.' he thought as he began thinking about the fight.
XxX Flashback A Decade Ago XxX
The twelve year old Naruto walked through the forest, accompanied by Mito Uzumaki, who was around her late fifties and still looking like she thirty.
Her long dark red hair, freely cascade down her back and all accessories were put away, as they would only get in the way. "Are you ready for the fight of your life?" the Uzumaki clan head spoke, dressed in a simple and yet elegant dark blue battle suit.
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be." Naruto spoke still wearing the same attire he wore while fighting his mother, which he just finished not even a day ago. 'Its time to see just what the hell the Kyuubi wants.' he thought.
"Good because I have a few conditions for the fight." she said as they entered a fairly large clearing, also inhabited by a large lake.
Naruto clenched his fist a couple of times, "Tell him." he simply said moving across the clearing.
"I want to see how you fight without the Rinnegan, we must remember that these eyes are just a tool for us to use. We mustn't get dependant on them." Mito said temporarily activating her Rinnegan only to deactivate them just as quickly.
"Trust me baa-chan, I know that." he said.
"Hmph." she grunted as crimson chakra began oozing out of her body.
Naruto stood in shock as the kitsune's cloak wrapped around Mito's body. He knew how it felt to have it wrap around him, but experiencing the pure malice and hate wash over his body was a new experience for him.
'So this is what everybody's been feeling every time I used the fox's cloak.' Naruto thought as he felt the pure Killer Intent crashed down on him. 'Shit, this is too much.' he cursed in his mind.
"Only One…"
He didn't have time to figure out how to counteract the feeling, because soon, Mito appeared in front of him and punched him hard. His small body flew across the clearing and literally skipped across the water. 'Fuck, what the hell. Fucking Kyuubi.'
The silvery haired preteen reached for the bank of the lake and lifted his body out of the water. He rested on his back and looked in the sky. He noticed a spot in the sky, that seemed to be getting closer. He cursed again as it quickly dropped on his position, making a large water filled crater.
The preteen panted quickly, he barely had time to substitute out of there. "Damn was I this fast when I was using the Kyuubi's cloak?' Naruto thought.
"Only One…"
Naruto growled in annoyance as the Kyuubi's voice popped up again. 'That damn fox is fucking up my concentration.' he thought shaking his head.
Unknown to Naruto, Kyuubi was also in Mito's head. The main Kyuubi, inside of Mito, was being heard more clearly. "Only One… Only One Kyuubi." it spoke pushing more chakra through the, thought of to be completely reinforced, seal.
Naruto looked and noticed a fully formed second tail grew from the cloak. He sighed and his fingers lit on fire, a different elemental symbol on each finger. "Lets see if this works." he mumbled as he blasted forward.
He thrust his palm forward, before his thought process thought of something, 'Wait a minute… where's her seal at?' he thought since her abdomen was in clear few and no seal was there. "Fuck." he cursed as he was unable to dodge the punch that rocketed him back towards the lake.
This time he skipped across the hard ground and into a very dense oak tree. He coughed up blood as his stomach crashed into the oak. He was starting to get pissed at being a punching bag. He thought of something and created a clone… it was time, but in the meantime he had to keep Mito away from his clone.
Lightning began crackling around his body and he felt his entire body become slightly numb with all the lightning around it. He grinned at the woman who was busy grabbing her head and swinging it around as a third tail sprouted. He took notice of the new appendage and upped the electrical output. 'Raiton no Yoroi,(Lightning Style Armor) the most useful lightning technique ever.' he thought as he literally disappeared.
He was in front of Mito in a split second and it was her turn to fly through the clearing. And fly she did. Naruto's toe wasn't even on the ground for a millisecond before he gave chase after the flying woman.
He was pleased his lightning cloaked body allowed him to reach her in no time at all, but damn was it taxing on his body. Naruto quickly enclosed his fist together, making a single double handed fist. He quickly slammed that on Mito's youkai cloaked body, sending her straight into the earth.
After he did that he quickly backed up and waited for her to emerge. After three seconds the ground started shaking and a pillar of demonic energy shot into the sky. 'That's not good.' Naruto thought as that was sure to bring more attention to their fight.
Two seconds after the pillar of youki, Naruto's body was grabbed by a arm of youki. The lightning and youki were fighting each other for dominance, so Naruto didn't feel anything from being grabbed.
He looked down to see six tails of pure destruction swaying behind Mito. Her body was crouched and a skeletal structure was above her, acting like some kind of fox bone armor. He cursed and his eyes flashed, "Shinra Tensei." he said forcing the arm off of him. He kept the eyes blazing as he faced off against the six tails. 'Is this what Pein experienced when we fought? Fuck I have to figure a way to calm her down.' Naruto thought as his clone dispelled and he received power of the sage.
He smirked as he blasted forward, Mito doing the same. Punches, kicks, grab attempts, and mini Shinra Tensei's were used in a span of a few seconds. Until a lucky Rasengan connected with Mito's youki cloaked abdomen.
He was immediately blasted backwards. His cloak vanished as did his sage mode. "Use it… Its your only chance at survival… USE IT!" almost immediately a second pillar of youki rose to pierce the sky. But it wasn't from Mito, but from Naruto.
The, previously thought of to be absorbed Kyuubi, finally emerged from deep within Naruto. Now the silver haired preteen was also cloaked in a six tailed, bone armor state.
Now the two Jinchuuriki faced each other and met in a clash of power, that instantly cratered the area. After that everything went dark for both of them.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Naruto's eyes open to the vision of darkness. It was only after his eyes fully focused that he noticed the pipes. He was in his sewer detailed mindscape, a place he hasn't been in for years.
He noticed he was floating in water and stood up, said water reaching his waist. 'It's never reached that high before.' Naruto thought as he noticed a strong red glow in the distance.
Of course he knew that he had to go there. So go he did. As he was going the glow was getting stronger and the pipes that indicated his silver chakra was getting skinnier.
Soon after a couple of twists and turns he stepped into a familiar room, that seemed to have gotten larger. He noticed a fox on his left, behind his standard cage, with the familiar seal tag keeping the gate closed. In his process to looking right, he noticed Mito entering from another hallway. Only she was looking to her left, in the process of looking right.
There eye's connected and they proceeded to look to their right. Naruto instantly noticed another Kyuubi no Yoko, except this one was chained in everyway imaginable for a fox it's size. The chains made it completely immobile except for the six tails that moved freely behind him. "So the containers finally join minds to visit us." spoke Kyuu from it's chained position.
(AN: I'm going to call Naruto's Kyuubi 'Yoko' while I call Mito's Kyuubi 'Kyuu' But remember that Naruto's Kyuubi is caged and Mito's Kyuubi is chained.)
Naruto turned to face Yoko, "What's the meaning of this? I was positive you were absorbed a long time ago, completely purified by the activation of my Rinnegan."
"You screwed up kit. Your seal failed to do its job." Yoko said ignoring the question.
"What does it mean?" Mito said walking up to Naruto.
"So it seems I become soft in the future." Kyuu said.
"You shut your damn mouth!" Yoko said growling at the other Kyuubi.
"Future? What does he mean?" Mito asked looking at the caged Kyuubi.
"Go on, explain to her mortal. Explain your fuck up." Kyuu said growling as it's tails smashed against the walls and floor behind him.
Naruto's mind was going a mile a minute as everything literally flashed before his eyes. Everything soon clicked to realization. "Okay Mito-sama, here's the truth. I'm from the future. The caged Kyuubi is mine, obviously the other is yours." Naruto dropped the bomb.
"The future? But time travel is impossible." Mito exclaimed completely skeptic about the situation.
"Not for the king of fucking up there." Kyuu said.
Naruto glared at the chained fox. "I'm not a fuck up… I just make mistakes."
"So your twelve again huh? Damn that must be hell and with a new everything. What happened to your blonde hair?" Yoko asked.
Naruto enjoyed the change of subject and nodded. "Yeah, except this time I actually had a good childhood, even if its filled with war. And my hair…" Naruto said grabbing his silver bangs. "Yeah, that changed with my chakra." he said rubbing his long silver hair. "I need a haircut." Naruto added with a chuckle.
"Its good to see you again Naruto." Yoko said.
"Yeah, you too fur ball." Naruto said loving his nickname for the fox.
"STOP IGNORING ME!" Kyuu yelled, slamming his tails harder.
The mindscape rumbled with the slamming, before chains sprouted and wrapped around the tails. "There." Mito said after binding the fox. "Now fully explain everything." she said glaring at Naruto.
With sweat going down his brow, Naruto explained everything, with Yoko adding, that during his fight with Madara, his seal was further… 'distorted' and became an entirely different seal. Naruto told her about everything from his time and then he told her about his mother and father and fighting his mother not even twenty four hours ago. When I mean he told her everything, I mean everything. From his birth to that very moment.
Mito stood there completely shocked. "Wow… so Madara survived the fight with Hashirama-kun and went on to completely fuck up the world." Mito deduced. "So what do we do about the two Kyuubis?"
"You have to fuse us together." Yoko said.
"Are you crazy? And give you eighteen tails of power, fuck that." Naruto said.
"No, idiot. You need to take complete control of my chakra and make it your own. And fuse my subconscious with the other. His own chakra will erode and I'll fade within him. That's the solution. That's why I've been telling you that there can be only one." Yoko said giving Naruto and Mito there solution.
"Will you really let me do that?" Naruto asked, only to see Yoko nod.
"I promise… and as a kitsune, I'm bound by my word." Yoko said.
"Arigato Kyuubi." Naruto said as he jumped at the cage and peeled the seal off.
Instead of the gates bursting open, like Naruto would have thought, they slowly opened. The Kyuubi stepped out, his tails swinging around as he laid in front of Naruto.
Naruto walked up to his snout and laid his hand on it. "Sayonara Kyuubi no Yoko." he said as his body was immediately filled by Kyuubi's chakra. A flash of light blinded the spectators. A red glow overcame Naruto, before it started to dim and turn silver, before that disappeared.
The light left and the spectators were surprised to see a spectral image of the Kyuubi at the size of a small fox. "Now throw me at the other Kyuubi." Yoko said loosing its powerful booming voice.
Naruto did as he was told and watched as he lost the 'person' that has been with him his whole life.
With that everything shattered.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Naruto and Mito were returned to the outside world. They laid in a crater, their previous youki cloaks gone. It had seemed that all that time spent in their linked mindscapes was equivalent to a second in the real world.
"I think our fights over." Mito said from her position on the floor.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Naruto said as the chakra signatures were only a few seconds away from them.
"So are you going to tell anybody else your secret?"
Naruto slowly shook his head. "There'll be no reason to." he said sitting up as nearly all of the ANBU and Jonin arrived at their location, with the Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage, at the front.
"What the hell happened here?" He asked in full Hokage mode.
"Oh nothing." Naruto waved at him nonchalantly. "I just said something I shouldn't have." Naruto said chuckling nervously.
"How do you explain the two separate pillars of youki?"
"Those were both me, upping the power. I do have complete control of the Kyuubi's power." the Uzumaki clan head said. "I you do not want to know what was said… trust me." she said keeping up the act and menacingly glaring at Naruto.
Hiruzen stared at the two, "…Okay. Naruto your not off the hook. Maybe your punishment should be changing Kensei's diaper for a month." he mused out loud as everybody left, sensing that they weren't needed, the Hokage included.
"Aw man, I hate changing Kensei's diaper. I swear if he pees on me one more tim-"
"Calm down Naruto." Mito said interrupting him.
Naruto shook his head. "Thanks Mito-sama."
"What did I say about calling me -sama?" she said annoyed as she too sat up.
"But you are the clan head, thus you should have respect."
"Well how about you take the title."
"Nah, too much responsibility. Not to mention having to go to the boring council meetings."
"Oh don't get me started on the meetings. I mean, I love Tobirama dearly, rest his soul. But creating a civilian council was the dumbest thing ever. Your from the future, how come you didn't stop him?" she said playfully hitting him.
"And how was I supposed to do that. Was I supposed to go up to him and just say, 'Oh Tobirama, don't make the Civilian council, they fuck up the future.' How the hell was I supposed to explain that?"
"Well we'll never know now will we." Mito said standing to her feet.
"Whatever. I guess its time for me to go home and deal with Ni-sama. Bye Mito-sama."
"Stop calling me that." Mito said slapping Naruto in the back of his head.
"Alright Alright. Bye baachan." Naruto said substituting himself with a log, just in time, because the log exploded.
XxX End Flashback XxX
Naruto was thrown from his reminiscing as they arrived that the house. Mito had moved from her house in the forest to the village, to take care of Kushina.
Naruto knocked on the door and said little girl opened the door. "Ah Naruto-nii what are you doing here?" Kushina said as Naruto crouched down to hug her.
She's been calling him that, ever since he rescued her from the pursuing Iwa Ninjas. Sadly he was too late to save her uncles from certain death in front of her eyes. Naruto knew they were going to destroy Uzushiogakure, but he didn't know exactly when. So when word came that Kushina was being escorted to the village, he cursed, because it must've already happened.
He promised her that he would always take care of her, but she was given to Mito to take care of, because she was the clan head. "Oh I'm just here to see baachan. I found another Uzumaki. His name is Nagato." he said nudging Nagato forward.
"Ooh, he has the Rinnegan too. How good is he with it?" Kushina asked as her blue eyes turned into the Rinnegan.
"Not very, he just got it and he doesn't know how to deactivate it yet." Naruto said rubbing Nagato's head.
"Is that Naruto-kun I hear?" a voice said from the back.
"Yeah. Its me baachan." Naruto said a little loud. Suddenly the gravity around him tripled and he nearly dropped to his knees. He groaned in annoyance, he had forgotten about that security system. The house had seals everywhere and when a certain word was mentioned the person would be subjected to extreme gravity. The only reason it hadn't happened before was because he wasn't in the house yet.
Soon Mito walked into the living room. "Ah, you've gotten stronger. I'm sure you quickly canceled your own gravity seals in the nick of time though." she said snapping her fingers, canceling the gravity affect.
Naruto chuckled, "I cant believe you still remember about the Five Starred Gravity Seal." he said resealing the gravity, as all the points returned to being on his wrists, ankles, and his neck. He hid the point on his neck with special make up. 'Maybe its time to go up to three.' he thought, since he's been at two for the longest. He cursed himself for forgetting about his creation up until a couple of weeks ago.
She nodded and looked at Nagato. 'So he becomes Pain. Eh he doesn't look like much.' she thought. "Another one Naruto, this is the second one. Your becoming a little Uzumaki hunter huh."
Naruto chuckled, "Yeah." he said, but she heard it as, "Don't expect anymore." Naruto began rubbing the back of his head. "So shall we talk over tea?"
She nodded and walked towards the kitchen.
AN: I have to end it right here. So there you have it. I hope some questions were answered with this filler chapter and don't be afraid to give me more questions.
For those of you who are waiting for the Lemon oneshot… keep waiting. Calm down, I'm going to be working on that next. At this point I'm not even on the actual lemon part. But it'll hit the site sometime in the future.
All I have to say is that Kishimoto is fucking confusing the hell out of everybody now. So spoiler alert, if you haven't read the new manga, but Madara is really dead as he was just summoned with the Edo Tensei. So who the hell has been posing as Madara, behind that mask. It cant be Itachi, Sasuke, or obviously Madara. I'm thinking it might be Izuna, Madara's brother, but he died a long ass time ago. I just don't know anymore. Everything is just confusing as fuck.
Whatever I ranted, I cant believe it myself, since I thought I stopped doing that a long time ago. But whatever.
Thanks for reading and review, REVIEWING IS FUN!
