New chapter….

When he entered the house, he found the others all sitting around in the large recreation room relaxing.

"hey guys." he said in greeting. "this is Takaya Hiro, the phoenix jinchiruuki. Please help him to adjust to being with us okay? Now could you all please help him settle in, I need to take a nap since I will be going for the last jinchiruuki tonight." he said and went to go find a bedroom to sleep in after giving Sai and kimimaru a kiss on the cheek.

After taking a quick shower and undressing until he was only in his boxers, he got in bed and laid down. He heard a knock at the door and smiled when he smelled that it was kimimaru.

"come in kimimaru -koi." he said gently and the older male walked in.

"naruto-sama." Kimamaru said shyly.

Naruto gestured for him to come closer and the albino obeyed. Naruto then reached out as soon as he got close enough and pulled him unto his lap until he was straddling his hips.

"nice to see you again Kimi-koi."naruto said gently. "I'm pleased to see you blooming with health."

Kimimaru blushed , both from the position he was in and from the way Naruto was looking at him. "it was all thanks to you Naruto-sama." he said softly.

Naruto smiled at him. "there is no need to call me Naruto-sama Kimi-koi. I'm to be your mate not your master. I consider you my equal." he told him as he slid a hand up his thigh , pushing the Yukata he was wearing further up and baring skin as he did so.

Naruto pulled his head down and kissed him deeply as he slid his hand further up his leg. Kimimaru, who had never been held so gently before , moaned in delight and wrapped his arms around the bare-chested blonde. Naruto moved his hand up to cup his firm butt as he pulled him even closer, rubbing their erections together through their underwear. Then Naruto broke the kiss and moved down to his neck and began placing soft kisses all over it.

"naruto!" Kimimaru gasped out when Naruto sucked on a sensitive spot at the base of his neck.

When Naruto finally pulled away , kimimaru whimpered in protest. Naruto gave his butt one last caress before pulling away much to the albinos annoyance.

"I'll be going to bed now." Naruto said to the annoyed man. "as for what we just did, feel free to come back for more anytime. I will only take you if you truly want me to." he said simply.'

Kimimaru wanted to scream out that he wanted him now but restrained himself since he knew that Naruto would need his sleep for his mission later and nodded instead. Then he bowed and left, wondering how he was going to get rid of the raging hard-on he currently had. Naruto watched him go in amusement. He knew that the albino was achingly hard but Naruto had decided that he wouldn't take him until he broke through his icy reserve and demanded it. He knew that it would be much more enjoyable for the both of them that way. With that in mind, he laid down and went to sleep.

Meanwhile….

In konoha…

With tsunade….

Tsunade was fast asleep at her desk when a kitsune summon poofed in. she jumped up and punched at thin air much to the kitsunes amusement.

"good evening Tsunade-sama, my lord has asked me to deliver these scrolls to you. He requests that you open yours before you go and address the council with the one he wrote for them. He also says that you should split the bounty on each head equally between his each member of his team and Konoha." the kitsune said. "Have a nice day Tsunade-sama, I have to make another delivery." it said and poofed out.

Tsunade smiled and took the scrolls and after reading hers, she hurried to the councilroom. They were already assembled since she had been planning to address them all anyway. After the usual formalities,m she began to address the council…

"as you know , team Kitsune Rage is on an sss-rank mission alone and may be gone for some time. Their captain has just sent in his report and requested that it was opened here." she said and they all nodded and waited for her to open the blood sealed scroll.

After using her blood to open it, she immediately realized what it was an dropped it. A clone of the masked kitsune anbu captain poofed out and stood there.

"good afternoon Tsunade-sama, councilmen and women of Konoha. I'm about to give my report. Last night my planning paid off and I was able to assasinate three members of the Akatsuki. I had my team wait at one of the sealing sites that was confirmed from one of my sources and we ambushed a team there when they were carrying the nanabi jinchiruuki . I rescued the jinchiruuki and got him to safety before engaging the enemy. We obviously won. I killed their two newest members Gyoya, a former rock nin that had a kekkei genkai that made his entire body into a rock and fury who was a pyromaniac, literally. She could turn her entire body into a living flame and manipulate fire. I also killed Zetsu, the human venus flytrap. As for the jinchiruuki, I have hidden him in a safe location. This was all done in one evening." the clone said leaving most of the council in shocked awe.

"there is no way that all of that can be done in one evening." said Danzo in desbelief.

The clone laughed at that. "so are you saying that I'm lying Danzo-sama?" he asked.

"you have to be ." said Danzo arrogantly.

Naruto's clone laughed silently at that , an evil plan forming in his mind. "then if I'm lying , you have my permission to execute me right here and now. I will also kill a certain kyuubi jinchiruuki for you before I die. But if I'm not then I am allowed to ask you for two things and you cannot refuse me." he said slyly knowing that Danzo would take the bait since he had been trying to kill Naruto for years.

Not believing that he could actually have done it, the man agreed arrogantly. Finally happy to have the chance to get rid of the kyuubi brat, he was willing to risk it.

"it's a deal." danzo said arrogantly.

Then let us sign it in blood so that none of us can withdraw from this deal. Danzo agreed and the scroll was quickly drawn up and signed in blood. Then everyone waited for Naruto to play his card.

Naruto smirked under his mask as he unsealed his scroll, effectively allowing the frozen heads to fall out, shocking everyone but tsunade.

"well it seems that I have one this little bet Danzo-sama and since it was done in the presence of the council , you will have to keep your promise." he said evilly.

"what is it that you want ?" Danzo growled angrily at being played for a fool.

He should have known better, he had never been good at poker.

Naruto grinned. "I want you to give up your position as a member of this council . I also want the entire root organization as my own with no further interference from you. In fact you are forbidden to go anywhere near them. That is my request and you will have to fulfill it since you signed a blood oath. What you should also know is that on the back of the scroll is the invisible seal of the shinigami. If you try to break the deal, the shinigami himself will come to suck out your soul. Congratulations Danzo a deal is a deal." he said laughing evilly.

"what ! You cheated you bastard" said danzo angrily.

"no I didn't ." naruto replied. "I not only told you that I had done it, thus giving you the advantage I was perfectly willing to show them to you if you had asked earlier. You let your own greed and overzealousness cause you to lose our bet."

"the man does have a point." said Hiashi smugly. "he won fair and square so now you will have to follow the rules and fulfill your end of the bargain or forfeit your soul."

Danzo got mad and stormed out of the room angrily. Naruto immediately unsealed another scroll and allowed the three demonic bloodclones of himself in full anbu gear follow him as he went back to the base to get his stuff. Naruto laughed since he was in effect leading him there. His original bunshin remained in the council room.

"that was very clever Kitsune-sama." said Shikaku laughing.

The clone laughed. "thank you. Its his fault that he was so greedy. Someone should have told him that every good deal has a catch."

Most people laughed at that since the majority couldn't stand danzo. Then tsunade nodded at the kitsune anbu in thanks and they decided to get on with the meeting.

"so where have you hidden the Nanabi jinchiruuki?" asked homura who was silently fuming at the kitsune anbu clone since he was a danzo supporter.

"he's in a safe place." the clone replied .

"I'm aware of that ." said Homura testily. "I am asking you were he is so we can bring him to konoha and place him under our protection."

The clone anbu smirked. "with all due respect Homura-sama, the last jinchiruuki known as the yondaime's legacy that was placed under your 'protection' was starved, beaten by the villagers daily, refused service at the hospital, went through numerous assasination attempts, raped and left for dead numerous times. With your current record, he is not only much safer in his current position, but I'd sooner give him to the Akatsuki to have his bijuu sucked out myself. At least there he would be given a quick death versus years of pain and suffering at your capable hands." he said sarcastically.

By now Tsunade and the Naruto supporters were openly laughing at Homura who had just been firmly put in his place. Homura said nothing else since it was all true but openly glared at him.

"in any event ." said the clone. "I would like to request your permission to call in assistance if needed and to be allowed to dispose of any nuke-nins we encounter on our way."

Since the council could see no problem with that since they all wanted the Akatsuki dead, they all agreed and the clone thanked them before walking out of the room with Tsunade after she dismissed the council.

After a quick and private meeting between the two, the clone went to go see Shikamaru in order to fill him in before poofing away.

Meanwhile with danzo…

Danzo was fuming mad at what had happened. His root bodyguards had already left to go inform their counterparts since they now had no loyalty to Danzo as he was no longer their leader. But that was Narutos own fault since he had removed all of their emotions. One of Narutos bloodclones went with them. Meanwhile Naruto cornered danzo in his room as soon as they were alone.

"sorry danzo but I will have to put a few restrictions on you." naruto said evilly. "if I killed you now, then everyone would know it was me. But this way I can not only protect myself from you, but I can keep an eye on you at all times without you even realizing it."

Before Danzo could protest naruto immediately placed a few seals on his forehead that sunk into his brain then disappeared before danzo even realized what had happened. The old man then continued on as if nothing had happened to him a few seconds ago and in his mind, nothing had.

The clone then teleported to his counterparts location.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile with the other bloodclones…

The kitsune clones were in a large hall were all of the root operatives who weren't on missions were assembled before him.

"good evening root, I am the kitsune anbu, Naruto uzumaki Namikaze and as of now , your new master as agreed to by Danzo." he said showing them a copy of the scroll that danzo had signed. "as of now , any contact with him will be seen as treason and you are to disable him if he tries to manipulate you in any way. Am I understood?" he asked.

"hai Naruto-sama." they said as one.

"good." the Naruto clone said. " as of now you will address me as kitsune-sama and reveal my true identity to no one until I say otherwise. Am I clear?"

"hai kitsune-sama." they all replied.

"good. Now there will be a lot of changes around here so be ready for them. Other than that I will be interviewing all of you one on one starting tomorrow. That is all you are all free to return to whatever it was you were doing before." he told them.

"hai Naruto-sama." they all replied before leaving the room.

The clones grinned at each other. This was all going even better than he had planned. The ne forces were like a blank canvas , now all they had to do was paint on it.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With Iruka…

Kakashi had just returned from a d-rank mission covered in mud. Iruka inwardly snickered at him but said nothing . He had just received a special message from Tsunade and knew what that meant. At the moment nothing could ruin his good mood.

"how was your morning Kashi-koi?" he asked unable to resist any longer.

Kakashi glared at him. "you try working with an annoying pink haired banshee bitch and a pretty boy emo-king. To make it worse those damn pigs ate my icha icha." he hissed angrily.

Iruka giggled. "but kakashi aren't those two your favorite students? Maybe tsunade-sama just wanted you to spend more time with them (giggle). You brought this on yourself you know?" he said wisely. "but don't worry I'm sure that it will all be over soon."

Kakashi growled before stomping off into the bathroom. Iruka watched him go with a grin before teleporting to Tsunades office. Although he did feel sorry for his lover, in this case he agreed with Tsunade completely.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With sakura…

Sakura stormed into the house and up the stairs to her bedroom angrily in order to take a much needed bath. She couldn't believe that she had had to chase around after a bunch of filthy pigs. To make it worse, the ground had been so slippery with mud that she had kept slipping and landing on her backside. She even fell into some of the pigs droppings and had managed to drop sasuke in it too. Sasuke had gotten mad and yelled at her.

If that loser naruto had been there all they would have had to do was use his clones, but no, he had to go and throw a bitch fit to that old hag and quit the team. It had been so much easier when he had been there to do all the grunt work. To make it worse , there was a rumor going around that tsunade had taken on a new apprentice to replace her, meaning she had completely turned her back on her. Naruto would pay for this as soon as she saw him.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With sasuke…

Sasuke removed his muddy clothing and stepped into the shower. Covering himself with soap and letting the water run down his naked body as he washed himself, he thought about the day he had just had…

flashback

They had reported to the farm for their d-rank mission as usual and had been told to clean out the pigs pen after removing them from said pen. Then they would have to put them back in. so growling in disgust, they gathered the large brush broom , shovel and hose and got ready to work. As soon as they entered the sty, the scent hit them so hard it made there eyes water.

Sasuke couldn't believe that he, an uchiha, would have to stoop this low in order to keep his ninja license. Kakashi was in tears because he normally just watched these missions but this time he would actually have to work. Sakura wanted to brutally murder naruto for this.

So baring his teeth, he reluctantly went in first carrying the hose. Kakashi followed behind him carrying the broom and reading his icha icha as he walked. Sakura, who had been walking in behind them and trying to look as sexy as possible so that sasuke would notice her, wasn't looking where she was going and tripped over the hose she was carrying and fell unto Kakashi who fell unto Sasuke who fell face first into the mud. The poor emo king got a mouthful of mud and was smooched further into the ground by his two teammates. She tried to get up but kept on slipping, effectively slamming his face into the mud over and over again almost drowning him. Then much to Kakashis disgust, his mud covered icha icha was being devoured by two of the pigs. A blood curdling scream was heard all over konoha from the copy-nin as he a three way war began between him and the pigs.

By the time he gave up his book was gone, half his mask had been eaten by the pigs and the pigs had ganged up on him and trampled on him much like tora had done on that one mission with Naruto.

Sasuke , who had finally managed to get out of the mud and stand up was washing himself off with the hose when he got caught in the crossfire of the fight with kakashi and the pigs and head butted hard by a group of pigs and sent sprawling back into the mud. Sharingan blazing, he was about to Tsukiyomi the pigs when he heard sakura 's scream.

Turning to look at her, he saw her charging ahead in a rage , about to kill the pigs when she slipped in the mud and almost fell on top of him. The pigs took this as an invitation and began to chew on her pink hair thinking it was food.

The girl screamed again and deafened almost every pig in the pen . The pigs definitely didn't like that and the next few minutes were memorable as the pigs gave Sakura the beating of her life.

Sasuke silently cheered the pigs on from a safe distance, now she knew how Naruto always felt when she hit him. The day just kept on getting worse with more and more accidents. While all this was happening, no one noticed Konohamaru taking a few pictures of them to show to Naruto.

end flashback

Sasuke shook his head at that. It had been the day from hell but at least he had gotten to watch Sakura get beaten down.

"naruto ." he thought to himself as he continued to shower. "you've finally left us. Does that mean that you really don't care anymore? I know that I never really apologized for what I did but the truth was I didn't know how. I don't know how to apologize to you Naruto. Have you finally given up on me? If you have what will I do? You're my reason for living. I know that I'm being selfish but I cant let you go. I don't know how but I'll make you love me again. Because if I cant do that, then I'm truly nothing . You will be mine Naruto."
