"Neko! Bring me Tayuya." Tsunade stood near the window of her office as she overlooked the buildings in Konoha with a neutral expression as the ANBU Captain left to complete her task. It had been a day since Naruto and his team had left to retrieve Gaara. She had estimated that he and his squad would return in another 2 days but who knows? Even Naruto was capable of surprises. He may just reject his friends offer to stay and head back to Konoha.

Tsunade stood in her position for half an hour before Neko and Tayuya appeared in the room. Neko disappeared shortly after as the redhead tried to get her bearings. Her crimson hair trailed behind her as she made heavy steps towards Tsunades position. The blonde woman closed her eyes as she prepared to deal with the girl. Tayuya was... interesting to say the least.

Foul mouthed, brash, loud... It was endearing. At least Tsunade thought so. She was just a dirtier version of Kushina and it was slightly scary how similar they were. She was also violent. VERY violent. But so was Tsunade so that was kind of a moot point.

"Soooo... Am I finally gonna meet Shithead again or what?"

Tsunade raised a delicate eyebrow before staring directly into the girls chocolate brown eyes. Tayuya slightly cringed at the look before the busty woman shifted towards her.

"What did I say about the nicknames?" The redhead slowly raised her hands defensively before chuckling.

"Uhh... Joking. Hah..." The Uzumaki smiled slightly as Tsunade rolled her eyes before gesturing for the girl to sit down. Tsunade made her way towards her desk as Tayuya sat down quietly. The 5th Hokage made a gesture with her hand as her personal ANBU guards disappeared from the room. A second passed by before Neko appeared beside Tsunade and silently watched on.

"She still scares the absolute fuck out of me."

Tsunade snorted in amusement at the girls statement before glancing towards Neko out the corner of her eye. Yugao could most certainly be a terrifying woman when she chose to be.

"To answer your previous question, yes. You will be meeting Naruto, but not at this moment. I sent him to retrieve Gaara from the Akatsuki." The crimson haired woman blinked several times before crossing her arms against her chest.

"He's strong enough to deal with those S-Ranked fucks?" Tsunade smiled at the girls question before clasping her hands together.

"Oh Tayuya... He's killed Itachi already."

The 19 year old widened her eyes in disbelief before shaking her head. "Wait wait wait! What the fuck?! You mean THE Itachi Uchiha!? The fucking 'Grim Reaper of the Uchiha'? THAT Itachi Uchiha?!"

Tsunade smirked at the girl before nodding her head silently. Tayuya furrowed her eyebrows before staring at the desk in the office. "How... strong is he now?"

How strong was Naruto?

Tsunade didn't actually the know the limits of his power. According to him, Itachi had been relatively easy to kill. Crippled with his disease and half blind yes, but the man was formidable to any Shinobi. She couldn't truly answer that question.

Tsunade shrugged her shoulders with a small smirk. "Even I'm unsure. He'd most likely demolish me in a fight if it's any consolation."

That particular bit of information made Tayuya uncomfortable. The redhead had heard horror stories about Tsunade from Orochimaru. She was a true monster on the battlefield. A tank that could absorb any and all attacks and dish them out twice as strong. She was nigh unkillable with her seal released and her power was increased almost 10 times over. To hear from the woman herself that she'd lose to the boy was terrifying.

"That's..." The redhead shivered at the thought before swallowing. "Are you absolutely positive he won't be angry when he finds out what you've been keeping from him?"

Silence reigned in the room as Tsunade closed her eyes. Was she positive on how exactly her nephew would react? Absolutely not. Her last days could be happening at this very moment. Tsunade had estimated that Naruto would return from his training trip incredibly powerful but this had exceeded her expectations.

Should he react negatively to everything that she's planned there was only death in her future. She had accepted that when he almost killed Jiraiya. If he believed that she was just manipulating his emotions for her gain then she was most certainly going to die. But she held onto hope that he would understand. Everything she had done up to this point was all for him. Tsunade was well aware that she wasn't a saint.

She had manipulated so many things from the shadows. Killed so many obstacles in her path. There was no turning back now and if she died trying to accomplish her goal then so be it. But... she'd be a liar if she said she didn't want to see the future with him.

Every single word she had told to the boy, she meant. She would crush any Nation who so dared get in the way of her goals. Naruto deserved the world... And she was going to make sure he got it. Whether she died doing so meant little to her.

Tsunade knew she had subjugated Konoha with fear. She wasn't stupid. She knew exactly what she was doing. A populace laced with fear would only revolt if they had a box to stand on. Konoha was no different. She had killed anyone who challenged her rule and she didn't regret any of it. Being a tyrant changed nothing in the grand scheme of things.

"Your silence is scaring me..."

Tsunade blinked as her train of thought was interrupted by Tayuya. She furrowed her eyebrows as she noticed the girl's knee shaking in anxiety. Even Neko was staring at her. How long had she been thinking about the question?

She sighed before shaking her head. "It should scare you. I'm not actually sure how he'll react..." The busty woman leaned back into her chair and sighed. "In fact, this could very well be our last days alive."

Tayuya's mouth dropped open in disbelief before frowning. "Well that... fucking sucks! I get saved just to die 2 years later?! Fucking cooooooool!" The amount of sarcasm in that sentence made Tsunade burst out into laughter. "Yeah yeah yeah. Laught it up, milk jugs. If you haven't noticed I'm only 19. I haven't lived long."

The 5th Hokage smirked at the girl before throwing a sake bottle at her. Tayuya caught the glass bottle with ease as she stared at Tsunade curiously. "Drink up. It's your time to live just in case he does decide to kill us. At least go out buzzed ya little shit." The crimson haired girl just snorted before smashing the tip of the bottle and drinking from it.

Tayuya practically inhaled half of the bottle before pulling back and wiping her mouth clean. The girl gave an obnoxiously loud belch before offering the bottle to Tsunade who took it with a smirk.

"After this, you're going back in the Gulag." Tsunade began to chug the rest of the bottle down as the redheaded girl petulantly pouted with her arms crossed.

"Fuck my whole entire life! Shit is so boring in those cells. There's literally nothing to do! Atleast get me a fucking TV or something. Fuck, man." The redhead threw her arms in the air as Tsunade chuckled.

"There isn't service down there."

Tayuya frowned heavily before laying her head on the desk like a pouting child. "Then what the fuck am I supposed to dooooooooooo?!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at the dramatic girl before waving her hand dismissively. "You have 10 fingers. How about using 3 of em?"

The redheaded woman shifted her head to glare at the busty woman. "You think I don't already do that? I masturbate like every fucking night! There isn't much else to fucking do. Atleast let me buy some fucking toys for fucks sake!"

Tsunade groaned in exasperation before gesturing towards Yugao. "Neko, take her to go get some damn dildos so she can shut the hell up." The masked woman nodded her head at the request before pulling a mask out from a scroll and handing it to an elated Tayuya.

"Yes~!" The girl pumped her fist in excitement as Neko placed a hand on her shoulder. The two woman disappeared shortly afterwards leaving Tsunade alone to her thoughts. Her gaze drifted towards the empty sake bottle as she sighed.

Break

Naruto sat on a perch overlooking the Suna Shinobi who were making their way towards his squad. Lee and Tenten were leading the front with a contingent of atleast 50 Suna Shinobi following closely behind them. They were quite a ways away but they'd arrive soon.

"We need to push our plan forward now. That imposter is now aware of your trump card."

Naruto's fingers curled in agitation at his partners words. He had let his guard down for a second and it cost him his most valuable ability. The Hiraishin was supposed to be his ace in the hole and now that man knew he possessed the ability. Tobi would be far more cautious the next time they met.

"I will ask Auntie Tsunade for the Scroll of Seals when we return. I will not take any risks. If my father defeated him, then I will have no trouble doing so."

"Hubris isn't like you."

"I am not overconfident. I've mastered the Hiraishin. And it is for this reason that I am even agreeing with you. My parents will be avenged. That intangibility will be annoying but it's nothing a barrier seal can't stop. Tobi will die the next time we meet. I will make sure of it."

"There's the Naruto I know. I was worried you were getting soft on me."

The boy scoffed before shifting towards his feet and speaking aloud. "You speak too much, Kurama." His words attracted his squads attention who gazed at him curiously. The blond ignored their stares and hopped down from his perch and moved towards Gaara who was sitting down taking a nap.

"Kakashi-sensei. I have a question about your Sharingan." Naruto stood with his arms crossed as he stared into the open field in front of him.

Kakashi glanced up from his book and raised an eyebrow. "Shoot."

Naruto tilted his head and glanced towards the man. "Do you possess a Mangekyou Sharingan?"

The silver haired Jonin blinked at the question in slight surprise before furrowing his eyebrows. "Yes, I do. Why do you ask?"

Narutos eyes narrowed at the response before turning around and staring at his former Sensei. "Can you show me the design and what it does?" Kakashi stared at his student for several seconds before shrugging lightly. Neji and Gai watched on silently as the Jonin lifted his headband. They raised their eyebrows in surprise when his Sharingan began to morph into a different design all together.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the design before gesturing with his hand. "What exactly does it do? Every Mangekyou Sharingan has a unique ability that is tailored to one person..." Kakashi furrowed his eyebrows before speaking.

"Well it takes alot of my Chakra to even use but... I've been able to store things into a pocket dimension of sorts."

Naruto narrowed his eyes before holding a kunai out in front of him. "Show me. Now." The urgency in his voice surprised all three of the men in clearing. Kakashi stared into the boys eyes for several seconds before nodding his head.

"Set it down on the ground just to be safe." Naruto threw the kunai at the ground and stared directly at it. Kakashi inhaled deeply before forming a ramseal.

"Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Naruto watched as the item began to distort as a vortex encased the weapon. His lips thinned as the kunai was pulled into the vortex leaving nothing behind. He breathed in deeply before staring at his former Sensei. "Who gave you that eye?"

The silver haired man frowned as he hunched over to catch his breath. "My old teammate... Obito Uchiha. He was... Killed after a boulder fell on top of him... He gave me his Sharingan..." The man heaved slightly before shaking his head and standing up. "Why do you ask?"

The three man watched in surprise as a scowl formed on the Jinchuuriki's face. "Because he's still alive. After I killed Deidara, I was almost sucked into a vortex not unlike your ability. The man appeared after I managed to escape the vortex. He wore a mask so I couldn't identify him. But that was the same ability."

Kakashi stood ramrod straight with a shocked face. "You... You're positive it was the same thing?"

Naruto shook his head and crossed his arms against his chest. "Exactly the same thing. Except his was far faster. It would make sense because it's his eye and it's tailored to him specifically." Kakashi stared at the ground, lost for words. Obito was alive? And he was in the Akatsuki? What the hell was going on?!

Gai placed his hand on Kakashi's shoulder as he provided his some measure of comfort for his best friend. The spandex wearing man knew how much this was going to affect Kakashi. They needed to get back to Konoha as soon as possible.

"When the Suna Shinobi arrive, we immediately head back to Konoha to inform Auntie Tsunade." Naruto closed his eyes before addressing Kakashi. "The boy you previously knew as Obito is no longer the same man. He confirmed to me that he was the one who attacked Konoha and set loose the Kyuubi. For that, he dies. I will avenge my parents Sensei." After saying his peace Naruto disappeared back onto his perch not waiting for a response.

Break

The journey back to Konoha was done in silence. Tenten and Lee had noticed how tense the atmosphere was but didn't voice their concern. After handing Gaara off to his family they immediately set course back to Konoha. Tenten and Lee were shocked to find out that Naruto killed both of the Akatsuki members with little effort.

The squad of 6 Shinobi ran at full speed for the next several hours before slowing down when Konoha's massive gates came into view. It took another 20 minutes for the group to reach the gates and by that time the sun was beginning to set.

Naruto stood at the entrance of the massive gates as Tenten leaned against the wall to catch her breath. She may have been a part of Team Gai but her stamina was still lacking compared to her teammates. She thought they were all psychos! Who runs for over 7 hours at full speed without stopping?! Madness!

Naruto crossed his arms with a sigh before gesturing with his head. "You all can leave. I'll go speak with Auntie Tsunade and deliver the report." The Jonins and Chunins nodded at one another before walking off to their homes. Kakashi lingered for a few moments before walking towards Naruto and patting him on his shoulder. The silver haired man disappeared in a shunshin directly afterwards.

Naruto pursed his lips after his Sensei's actions before jumping on top of the massive gates. His gaze settled on the Hokage Monument before he closed his eyes. The boy disappeared in a yellow flash and reappeared just outside the office of the Hokage. He gazed through the window and noticed that Tsunade wasn't present. His head tilted curiously before furrowing his eyebrows and accessing his Sage Mode. He was motionless for several seconds before zeroing in on her location.

Tsunade was sitting in the main garden of the Senju compound with a book in her hand and a bottle of sake near her feet. Her eyes were closed as she rested her back against the trunk of the tree. The woman idly listened to the sound of the small stream that rested in the garden with a small smile. Her eyes snapped open and she came face to face with Naruto's cerulean orbs. The boy was staring at her with an eyebrow raised and a peculiar looking kunai in his hand.

Wait a second... She recognized that particular kunai. Her eyes widened in surprise as she pointed at the unique looking dagger. "Is that what I think it is?!"

Naruto glanced at the weapon for a few moments before he began to twirl it in his hands. "Yes. Yes it is. Like father like son, they say."

Tsunade was silent for several seconds before she chuckled and shook her head. Her eyes glanced down towards her necklace as she gently held the jewel in her hand. So that was why the seals seemed so familiar... The Hiraishin Seal was inscribed on it. A snort escaped her as she smiled. A smile that was full of bitterness.

"There truly isn't a chance I'd survive..."

Her smile softened as she ran her fingers over the gem stone. It was still such a beautiful necklace. Hopefully she'd be able to keep wearing it.

Naruto stared at his aunt as her face went through a myriad of emotions before settling on a gentle smile.

"I take it the mission was a success hmm?" The woman let go of her necklace and crossed her arms beneath her bust.

Naruto nodded his head before making his way towards her and sitting next to her. "Sasori and Deidara are now dead. I also know who the masked man is. The one who attacked Konoha and led to me becoming a Jinchuuriki." The boy idly twirled the Hiraishin Kunai in his hand as Tsunade stared at him curiously.

"Hoh? And who is that?"

Naruto closed his eyes as he leaned against the tree. "A man named Obito Uchiha. He was on fathers Genin team with Kakashi. Records say he was KIA and gave Kakashi his Sharingan. But, he's alive. After I killed Deidara he confronted me. Forced me to reveal the Hiraishin." She noticed how his nose curled in agitation. "I let my guard down for a second. The next time we meet, he dies."

Tsunade hummed at the response before taking a small swig of her sake. She pulled the bottle back and glanced at the object for several seconds as Naruto stared at her.

"Are you well, Auntie Tsunade?"

The blonde Senju narrowed her eyes in sadness before covering it up with a small smile. "Never better..." A frown formed on the teens face as he stared at the woman. Naruto reached over and gently stroked the back of Tsunades hand as he tilted his head.

"What is on your mind?"

His question made her want to laugh. There was a ton of things on her mind. Many things. She was never an individual to show fear in the face of adversity but right now she felt like a small child. Tsunade had gone over so many things she would say when Naruto returned but everything was fleeting.

For the first time since Dan's death, she was truly afraid... She was truly terrified of dying...

Being a Shinobi, death was certain. It was the only constant in their life. Everything changes but death remained vigilant. Tsunade had never been scared of dying in all her life. But at this very moment...

"Do you... remember the day we first met Naruto?"

The blond teen furrowed his eyebrows before nodding his head. "Yes... You said I looked familiar." Tsunades eyes closed as a small smile formed on her face.

"Back then, you were like a chibi version of your father. Pudgey little cheeks and all. You were so cute~!" Naruto raised an eyebrow as his Aunt gushed on. She began to giggle before continuing. "I knew you were special back then. That you'd accomplish so much. Your potential was incredible."

The womans other hand came to rest on top of Narutos hand as she sighed. "That promise I made... You remember it yes?"

Naruto nodded his head at the response. "Of course."

"And you know that Uzumaki's value promises with their lives right?"

Naruto's head tilted as he stared at her in slight confusion. "Yes..." He trailed off as the woman turned towards him with a beautiful smile.

"I meant every word I ever said Naruto... Any threat to you, I'd erase. Anything you need, it's yours."

A frown appeared on the boys face as he stared into Tsunades eyes. "Why are you saying this?" The woman ignored his question as she closed her eyes with a gentle smile. Naruto's frown grew heavier at her actions.

"I just want you to know that I'd never take advantage of you." Naruto furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at her words. What was she even talking about?

Several minutes passed by in silence as the couple remained hand in hand. Naruto wasn't sure how much time had passed but Tsunade seemed to have calmed down from whatever she was experiencing. The woman turned towards him before gently removing her hands from his hold.

"C'mon. You're probably hungry." She smiled at the boy before standing up. "I'll make ya something delicious." It was followed by a wink that made the teen raise an eyebrow.

"Before we do that, there is something that I need Auntie Tsunade." The woman blinked in surprise before gesturing with her hand.

"Like I said... Anything you need, it's yours."

Naruto slowly stood to his full height before placing a hand in his pocket. "I need the Scroll of Seals." The request made her pause for several seconds as she contemplated the reasoning for him needing it. The Scroll of Seals was incredibly important and dangerous because of the jutsus that were scrawled within. Tsunade didn't really mind giving him the item and was most certainly going to, but she was curious as to why he needed it.

"I don't mind giving it to you, but what exactly do you need it for?" She watched as the boy leaned against the tree while closing his eyes.

"I need to acquire the other half of Kurama's soul from my father. In order to do so, I need to learn the handseals for the Edo Tensei as well as visit the Uzumaki Shrine to retrieve his soul from the Shinigami."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow at the explanation before reaching into her cleavage and pulling out a particular tiny scroll. She dawned a small smirk as she tossed it towards the blond teen whose nose curled in annoyance. The boy shook his head slightly before sighing. "I'd ask why and how but then you would tell me." Naruto immediately sighed in annoyance after uttering his statement. He just now realized his mistake.

The busty woman immediately responded with a mischievous grin. "Weeeellll~, since you're obviously soooo curious! The Scroll of Seals is important to Konoha. Why keep it locked up in maximum security when I can just hold on to it? Not like there's many people who know about it." The woman shrugged after the statement before continuing. "It's also sealed in that smaller scroll because the Scroll of Seals wouldn't fit in my cleavage. My breasts are huge but they aren't THAT huge." She ended her statement with a small, innocent smile as her arms rested beneath her... generous bust.

Naruto averted his gaze from the woman as she began to shift her arms up and down. He sighed at her behavior before appearing beside her and wrapping his arm around her waist. He pulled her towards him before glancing at her. "I assume the Uzumaki Shrine is still intact, yes?"

Tsunade pouted at the boy before wrapping her arms around his body. "Of course. After we do what you need, I have a surprise for you."

Naruto raised an eyebrow before nodding his head. "I'll also need 2 human sacrifices to bring Father back."

Tsunade nodded her head and began to pulse her Chakra in a specific pattern. A minute or so later and Neko appeared in a kneeling position awaiting instructions. "Get me 2 prisoners from the TI Department. Drop their bodies off at the Uzumaki Shrine and wait outside the building. Make sure it's secure and that no one interrupts us." The purple haired woman nodded her head befote disappearing to do her task. Naruto glanced at her before nodding and gripping her waist tightly. They both disappeared in a yellow flash shortly after his actions.

Break

Naruto and Tsunade appeared near the Hokage Monument as Tsunade began to rub her eyes. The boy let go of Tsunades waist before he unsealed the scroll that held the Scroll of Seals. He idly began to read over the information regarding the Edo Tensei before a small frown marred his face.

"Well... That's annoying." He released a sigh before rolling the scroll back up and sealing it back in the smaller scroll. Tsunade glanced at him curiously as he began to make his way towards the shrine. She followed directly beside him as she entrapped his arm between her bust.

"So, what's wrong?"

"The Shinigami Mask sacrifices the wearer of the mask as well. Which is something I didn't know..." He trailed off with narrowed eyes before nodding his head. "We'll need a Nara."

Tsunade nodded her head at the statement with a small smile. "I'll handle it when we reach the shrine." The couple slowly made their way to the shrine as Tsunade hummed quietly to herself.

"Did you open that scroll I gave you before leaving on that mission to retrieve Gaara?"

Naruto glanced over at his Aunt with a raised eyebrow before shaking his head. "I did not. Why?" All he received was a small smile from the woman as she ignored the question. He continued to stare at the woman for several more moments before shrugging.

It took the duo another 10 minutes of walking before reaching the dilapidated building. Naruto raised an eyebrow before glancing at the Hokage. "I thought you said it was intact..."

Tsunade scoffed at the boy before turning her head away from him. "It is! I never said how intact it was..." The boys lips began to thin before slowly turning upwards into a smile. He shook his head slowly as Neko appeared in front of them kneeling. The blond Jinchuuriki glanced at Neko before detaching himself from his Aunt.

"Get us a Nara." The boy placed his hands into his pockets before making his way into the broken down building. Neko merely glanced at the boy before turning towards Tsunade. The blond woman nodded her head with a smirk as Neko disappeared.

She slowly made her way into the building and immediately noticed the two tied up prisoners who were laying on the floor unconscious. Her gaze shifted towards Naruto who had the Scroll of Seals unfurled and was examining the sealing formula for the Edo Tensei. He studied the diagram for several minutes before nodding his head. The boy unsealed all the materials he would need before beginning to draw the seals.

Another minute or so passed by in silence before the smell of cigarette smoke assaulted Narutos nose. He blinked slowly and began to turn his head towards the entrance as a familiar voice resounded through the building.

"I just knew that being woken up at 12 a.m and having to follow an ANBU member at the request of the Hokage was your doing Naruto... Troublesome." Shikamaru slowly entered through the entrance as he blew out a puff of smoke.

Naruto stared at his friend for several moments before his face hardened. His gaze snapped towards Tsunade before he began to speak. "You had her pick Shikamaru?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow at his question before tilting her head. "Of course. You trust him and that's enough for me."

The blond teen sighed in annoyance before rubbing his eyes. "Shikamaru isn't exactly expendable Auntie Tsunade..."

The woman crossed her arms with an exasperated huff. "What else would you have me do Naruto? You act as if you don't have a way of keeping him silent without the threat of killing him."

The boy sighed again before going back to work. "Of course I do, but I'd rather not have to do so. I enjoy Shikamaru's presence and killing him would be... troublesome."

"I'm still here... The guy you're talking about, yeah. I'm him." Shikamaru deadpanned as the two blonds turned towards him before dismissing him. He sighed in annoyance before sitting on the ground and waiting for the couple to explain why he was here. He could ask but that would be troublesome.

Naruto meticulously scrawled the ink on the floor for the next 30 minutes before he began to speak. "I'm reviving my father Shikamaru. The reason is irrelevant so don't bother asking. In order to successfully pull this off, I need you to cast your Shadow Possession on one of the two prisoners over there. Both of those men will die but only one will be wearing the Shinigami Mask." He pointed towards said mask with his brush before continuing. "You will feel some measure of pain but you will be fine. You've been put through alot worse before so I'm confident you'll successfully pull this off. If not, then you die."

Shikamaru shut his eyes before sighing. "I'm really doing this huh?" He went silent for several moments before taking another cigarette out of his flak jacket and lighting it. "The shit I do... Troublesome."

Tsunade stood over the Scroll of Seals while raising an eyebrow. "It says you need DNA of the individual you wish to bring back... Do we need to fetch Minato's body?"

Naruto shook his head before reaching into his pockets and pulling out a tri-pronged kunai. "This is one of fathers original Hiraishin markers. His blood is in the formula of the Hiraishin. This will be the catalyst."

Tsunade eyed the kunai with intrigue before tilting her head. "And if it doesn't work?"

"Then we retrieve fathers body and start over... I do hope it works the first time though." Shikamaru and Tsunade stared at the boy in slight disbelief before shaking their heads. Unbelievable! He didn't even know if it was guaranteed to work. Just great.

10 minutes passed by before Naruto slowly stood up and triple checked the design. He gave a satisfied nod before placing one of the unconscious prisoners in the center of the sealing matrix. He pulled out his fathers Hiraishin kunai and placed it on top of the man's body before making his way toward the wall of masks. His eyes roamed over each individual mask, sensing the abnormalities inside each and everyone of them. He'd need to seal this entire room away afterwards.

Naruto grabbed the Shinigami mask before making his way toward the other prisoner in the room. "Shikamaru." The Nara gave a deep inhale of breath before slowly exhaling. The teen went through the necessary handsigns as his shadow shot out towards the prone man. It connected a second later and Shikamaru released a heavy sigh.

Naruto nodded his head before removing the man's bindings and waking him up. The man slowly began to stand as his eyes shot wide open due to not having control of his body. "Auntie Tsunade, stay near Shikamaru. He's going to receive the same injuries as this man. He'll need medical attention afterwards." Naruto tossed the Scroll of Seals towards Shikamaru who caught the scroll with little effort. His eyes gazed on the necessary handseals as he memorised them and then handed the giant scroll to the Hokage.

Tsunade gently placed the scroll behind her as her hands began to glow green. "I'm... ready Naruto... Kami this is the worst idea I've ever done. Troublesome..."

"Brace yourselves. You will be in the presence of Death itself." After the blond Jinchuuriki said his warning he placed the mask on the prisoners face. The effect was instantaneous.

The entire room grew ice cold as the man's body began to shake. Shikamaru's eyes widened in shock as his body began to shake in response from being connected to the prisoner. It felt like fire was running through his veins. His eyes clenched shut as his teeth gnashed together. This torture lasted another several moments before eventually ceasing all together. Shikamaru exhaled a deep breath before his gaze settled on the Shinigami with shock. His body froze in fear as his heart began to hammer in his chest.

This... this...

"Stay focused Shikamaru. You will be fine."

Naruto's voice invaded Shikamaru's thoughts as his rapidly beating heart began to settle. He shook his head several times before giving a shakey nod. After calming himself, he immediately began to run through the necessary handseals.

"Kuchiyose : Edo Tensei!"

Several things happened at once. A large cut appeared on the prisoners abdoment that began to rapidly leak blood with the same thing happening to Shikamaru. A blue tendril began to leave from the Shinigami before encasing the prisoner who was laying in the middle of the sealing matrix. Upon being fully encased, the man woke up and began to scream in agony as his body began to turn to ash.

Naruto appeared beside Shikamaru before placing a seal on his arm that broke his contract with the masked prisoner. The prisoner was immediately sucked into the Shinigami's stomach who disappeared directly afterwards.

Shikamaru fell into his backside as Tsunade kneeled beside him to tend to his wound. Naruto surveyed the boy's injury before nodding and turning his direction towards the center of the room.

Dull, cerulean orbs stared into a similar pair of cerulean orbs. There, in all his glory, was Minato Namikaze. His sclera was pitch black and he had numerous cracks running through his face and body. He was dawned in his infamous cloak with flames at the bottom. He had a Hiraishin kunai in his hand that he was idly spinning as he analyzed the group in front of him.

Minato's eyes gazed at the individual in front of him who could practically be his brother. This was most certainly his son. Similar hair, same eyes, same build... He had a nice sense of fashion too. A plain, white button up collared shirt with black plants and black boots.

His eyes trailed down towards his son's hands and noticed a similar looking kunai in his hand. Minato tried to sense the beacon on the kunai only to notice it didn't have one. That would mean...

"You've mastered it haven't you, Naruto?"

The Jinchuuriki nodded at his father before he began to make his towards the man. "I've mastered alot Father. Jutsus, seals, styles... There's only one thing I haven't mastered yet."

A small smile formed on Minato's face as he shifted his weight. "Kurama's Chakra."

Naruto nodded at the response before standing in front of the man. The two blond men stared at one another before the son immediately lashed out with an incredibly powerful punch. Naruto's fist embedded itself in Minato's abdomen as the man folded over his son's arm. The blow was so powerful that it blew a hole through Minato's body.

"I... deserved that one..." Minato watched on in sadness as tears began to fall from his son's eyes.

"I was... left alone... I had no one... Y-you and mother..." Naruto went silent as the 4th Hokage wrapped his arms around him. The boy said nothing else but his arms wrapped around the man returning the gesture.

A heavy frown appeared on Minatos face as his eyes gazed at Tsunade and Shikamaru who were watching the scene with frowns. His eyes closed as he began to rub his son's back to calm him down. This... wasn't the reaction he was expecting. He knew that Naruto would be upset about he and Kushina's death but... To react so heavily? Jiraiya raised him did he not? Why would say that he had no one?

Several minutes passed by in silence before Naruto pulled away and began to wipe his face. Minato glanced at his son before narrowing his eyes and crossing his arms. His gaze found Tsunades before he began to speak. "You've returned to Konoha."

The blond woman slowly stood to her feet before glancing towards Shikamaru. "Yes, I did." She made a gesture with her pinky finger as Neko appeared in the room with her hand on the Nara's shoulder. They disappeared shortly after as Tsunade began to make her way towards the men.

"You're the Hokage as well." She nodded at the statement as Minato frowned. "Where is Hiruzen?"

"Dead." Naruto placed his hands in his pockets before closing his eyes. His father nodded silently before he too placed his hands in his pockets.

"And Jiraiya? He raised you, yes?"

After the 4th's question a tense silence settled in the room. A silence that was beginning to anger the man. His expression began to shift before settling on a scowl. "He raised you... Did he not?"

Tsunades lips thinned before speaking. "No Minato... No he did not."

A tremendous amount of pressure settled in the room as Minato's eyes were alight with anger. "I gave him instructions on what to do should Kushina or I pass. For hours upon hours I would make plans, fail-safes, alternatives! An-and he did nothing?!"

Tsunade began to cringe slightly at the anger wafting off the man. Minato may have not been the most physically powerful or imposing individual but when he was angered... It was like a whole other beast. He practically oozed authority and he had the skill to back it up. Minato had never reached his prime and it was a slightly scary thought to think about...

Naruto scoffed at his fathers statement and leaned against the wall. "There's no use in being angry about it... It changes nothing father. He failed to do his task and when he dies mother will deal with him."

Tsunade watched as Minato immediately began to calm down before he sighed. "Kushi-chan will kill him again... That gives me some measure of comfort at least." The man shook his head before placing his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"I'm truly sorry that I wasn't here to raise you. I'm sure my Chakra imprint said something similar but... I'm proud to be your father. It makes me happy to know that you're going to surpass me." The man gave a toothy grin before pulling Naruto into another hug. He patted the boy's back several times before pulling away and glancing towards Tsunade.

His eyes bore into the woman for several moments before he tilted his head with furrowed eyebrows. "Naruto... How old are you?" The man continued to stare at Tsunsde as Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to be 17 soon."

Tsunade's gaze was stoic as the boy's father continued to stare directly at her. She was actually becoming slightly unnerved. Did he know about her... infatuation? After several more seconds the man slowly nodded before turning towards his son and smiling.

"Well, happy early birthday son. Your gift? The other half of Kurama." He cheekily patted his son's head who immediately swatted the hand away. The older man just laughed at his son's reaction before glancing towards Tsunade. "Take care of my son, Tsunade." He gave her a knowing look before placing his hand on Naruto's stomach.

Orange Chakra began to form on Minato's hand before traveling directly into Naruto's stomach. The process went on for a few minutes before Minato pulled his hand away and patted his son's shoulder. Naruto immediately began to unbutton his shirt as Tsunade eyed the action with a keen gaze.

The blond teen began to channel Chakra as his seal appeared on his stomach. He glanced towards his seal for a small moment before curling his fingers and jamming them into his stomach. Tsunade watched in slight fascination as his fingers shifted through his stomach similar to one sticking their hand through water. The seal rippled slightly before he began to rotate his hand. The noise being emanated from the seal was like notches that were being turned and unlocked. Seals were so fascinating.

The boy slowly rotated the last lock before his Chakra practically exploded out of his body. Tsunade was caught by surprise not having expected the action. She was caught by Minato who disappeared in a yellow flash just outside the dilapidated building. A second later and the building was practically eviscerated from the force of the boy's Chakra.

After the dust settled down from the explosive release of Chakra, Naruto began to slowly walk out of the building without a shirt. A scene that Tsunade was happily gazing at without shame. Naruto began to clench and unclech his fists before sighing in annoyance.

"My Chakra control is shot..." His nose curled in agitation before he shook his head. "Thank you father." The 4th Hokage nodded with a smile as the teen made his way towards them. Naruto nodded his head at his father before placing his palm on his father's chest. "Tell mother that..." The teen trailed off in thought as a small frown appeared on his face. Minato just waited patiently for his son to gather his thoughts.

"Tell her that I've been eating healthy and that her worries are unfounded. As for my love life..." He trailed off awkwardly before shaking his head with a dash of red on his cheeks. "Never mind." Minato began to chuckle at his son's embarrassment before nodding.

"I'll tell Kushi-chan. Good-bye Naruto." A seal formed on Minato's chest before his body began to disintegrate into ash. Naruto stared at the white ashes of his father before closing his eyes with a sigh. "I need to gather all of the masks and seal them away." The Jinchuuriki began to make his way through the wreckage and sifted through the rubble as he began to collect each individual mask.

Tsunade sat down on a decent sized boulder watching the boy collect the treasures of the Uzumaki clan. She wasn't a sensor but it didn't take a specialist to deduce the fact that he basically just doubled his reserves. As if he needed the extra boost in firepower. She rolled her eyes with a smile as he began to make his way towards her.

"You still have the Scroll of Seals yes?" The woman nodded as Naruto held his hand out im front of him. Tsunade threw the small scroll at the boy who proceeded to burn the scroll immediately after catching it. Tsunade raised an eyebrow in surprise at the action.

"Knowledge of the Edo Tensei dies with me and Shikamaru. Should he be compromised in the field, the seal I placed on him will prevent him from speaking about the knowledge he possesses on the Jutsu." The boy glanced down towards himself before frowning. "I need a shirt."

Tsunade licked her lips in delight before smiling coyly. "I'm enjoying the view just fine. Don't ruin it." Her eyes unashamedly ran up and down his upper body as the teen frowned lightly.

"That is... Auntie Tsunade. Stop ogling my body." The boy crossed his arms against his chest as Tsunade just winked in response.

"I'll do as I please." She proceeded to pose rather provocatively and placed her index finger on her bottom lip with a sultry expression. "Are you going to punish me if I don't listen?" The busty woman's eyes gleamed in satisfaction as the boy averted his gaze with a mighty blush. Oh this was too much! "Ohhh Naru-kun~! It's okay to stare."

She watched as the boy shifted in his position awkwardly before crossing his arms against his chest. "I... It is rude to do so..." A smirk appeared on the Hokages face before she replied.

"It isn't if I let you do it though." The boy refused to glance over but his face got even redder and Tsunade considered that a win. She jumped off the rock she was seated on before making her way towards Naruto. She gently pulled the boys arm toward her chest before speaking. "C'mon! I'm taking you to your surprise gift."

The teen proceeded to nod as Neko appeared beside the couple and placed her hand on Tsunades shoulder. The trio immediately disappeared in a shunshin afterwards.

Break

The trio of Shinobi appeared in front of the ANBU HQ with nary a sound. Naruto furrowed his eyebrows in confusion before tilting his head.

"Why are we here?"

Tsunade shifted the boy's arm between her bust before smiling. "Your gift is in here. I believe you're going to enjoy it immensely." The blond teen glanced at his aunt for several moments before shrugging lightly.

A squad of ANBU appeared in front of the blond couple as Tsunade waved her hand. "You all know what to do. Neko, on me." The other members nodded before disappearing as Neko stood directly behind the Hokage and her nephew. Tsunade began to guide the boy into the building who matched her cadence.

The teen noticed that the deeper they went down into the building, the less things he could sense. It was like there were... Ahh. His eyes landed on the many seals that were lining the walls and was easily able to identify the Chakra dampening seals. This must be a high profile security area. And if that's the case... Then who exactly was his gift?

"Auntie Tsunade. You're not saddling me with a slave, are you?" The boy glanced towards the woman who immediately began to bust out in laughter.

"Kami, no! We will be there shortly though." The teen shrugged afterwards and remained silent as they seemed to finally make it to their destination. A long, dark hallway with a single light in the middle of the corridor. Eerie vibes indeed.

Tsunade guided the boy halfway down the corridor before turning to her right and stopping in front of a metal door with seals covering it. She bit her thumb and proceeded to smear her blood over the seal. The door was immediately unlocked with a simple clicking noise. Light blasted through into the hallway as both blonds began to walk inside.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at the room. It was most certainly not a prison cell. There was several bookshelves, tables, chairs and even a kitchen in the room. His eyes glanced towards the back of the room as he noticed a rather large bed that had someone occupying it. They looked famil-.

"Oi Tayuya! Wake up you little shit!" Tsunade detached from the teen as she began to make her way towards the bed. The woman inside the bed gave a loud yelp before jumping out of the bed and landing straight on the floor.

"What the fuck's your problem, Cow tits?! You can't just fucking scream at people to wake th-." The woman immediately yelped as Tsunade threw a rather large looking book at her head. The redheaded girl began to cradle her head as she rolled around on the floor screaming obscenities.

This... was incredibly odd. Naruto didn't truly know how to react to what was happening. He most certainly recognized that woman. She was a member of the Sound 4 that had aided in Sasuke's capture. But Shikamaru had told him that Temari and he had killed her.

Tsunade turned back towards Naruto with a large smile before pointing at the half-naked girl on the floor who was rubbing her head. "Naruto meet Tayuya Uzumaki." The blond stared at the girl for several seconds as she slowly stood to her feet before inclining her head. "Sup."

He remained motionless for an entire minute before appearing directly beside her. The girl flinched as his hands grasped her head while slowly turning it to the side. His cerulean orbs stared at the seal that Orochimaru had planted on her before slowly nodding. "Auntie Tsunade. You are positive she is an Uzumaki?" The boy ignored the petite redhead who was slightly squirming because of his hold.

"Blood test and all. It's a match." Naruto pursed his lips before letting go of her and stepping away. "I'll remove that seal soon. I refuse to have one of my own suffer under that man's reign." Tayuya swallowed lightly before nodding her head. "But, just to be safe." He immediately placed his hand on her chest as a sealing matrix formed where her heart sat. "Betray us, you die."

Tayuya scowled at the blond before pushing his hand away. "I like living you dumb asshole. Better a slave to you than that fucking snake."

The blond Uzumaki sighed in annoyance as his nose curled. "You're not a slave. The seal is a precaution."

The redheaded woman scoffed before crossing her arms under her breasts. "Precaution, schemnaution. Same shit dickhead." Naruto frowned at Tayuya before glancing towards his Aunt.

"Vulgar one isn't she?" He asked rhetorically. Tayuya's eyebrow twitched as she stood on her tippy toes and glared at the boy just an inch from his face.

"Say that shit to my face you pussy!" Naruto stared at her with a bored expression before placing his palm on her head and pushing downwards.

"I just did." Tayuya growled like a puppy as she tried to remove the boy's hand with no luck. "Fucking shit! Why are you so damn strong!!??? Mooooooooove!!! Arrgghhhh!!!"

Tsunade noticed the small smile that was forming on her nephews face. She began to smile softly to herself before walking up to the two Uzumaki's. "Alright alright! Naruto, let her go. Tayuya, shut up. Now that you've two met. You have someone else to meet... Before that though."

Tsunade smacked Tayuya across the back of her head as the girl immediately crumpled to the ground with a pained groan. "Stop calling me 'Cow tits' you little fucking shit!" The blond woman bent over and roared at the redhead who started nodding rapidly. Tsunade nodded her head before clapping her hands and speaking. "Tayuya isn't the only Uzumaki I have found. There's another... And she's under Orochimaru as well."

Naruto's eyes narrowed as Tayuya began to speak. "Her name is Karin. She's a fucking nerd but she's harmless. She's super fucking important to Orochimaru's work and he has his number 1 dicksucker watching over her."

Naruto pursed his lips and glanced at his aunt. "And you want me to go get her?" He received a smile and a nod from the woman as she entrapped his arm between her breasts.

"Of course. She is family and she deserves to be in the company of her relatives." Naruto nodded his head as Tsunade began to guide them out of the room. "Tayuya! I'll come back for you tomorrow. For now, you're staying in the Gulag." She received several curses but just ignored them as they left the room and resealed it shut.

It only took a few steps to reach the final door as Tsunade let go of Narutos arm and placed her palm against the metal door. The seals on the wall glowed brightly before the sounds of locks being turned was heard.The door slowly began to open as a small smile formed on the womans face.

"I present to you... Orochimaru!"

Naruto's eyes widened before they began to bleed red with a slit running down the middle. Orochimaru sat against the wall restricted by several chains that had hundreds of seals adorning them. Naruto immediately took a single step in the room only to stop as Tsunade gently held onto him to prevent his advance.

"Now now. I know what you're thinking Naruto. I captured him almost a year ago. It was annoying but I am a tenacious woman." She slowly began to circle around Naruto who's eyes never strayed from the man on the ground. Her hands gently glided across the boy's body as she continued to speak. "Do you know exactly why Jiraiya abandoned you?"

The room was instantly shrouded in a smog of malevolent energy as Naruto's body became encased in Kurama's Chakra. Two tails swayed behind him as his claws grew sharper with his whiskers turning feral.

Tsunade's smile grew bigger at the fear that was beginning to reside in Orochimaru's eyes. "Because he was busy chasing after Orochimaru." A shockwave of hateful energy exploded in the room as Tsunade was forced to shield her face as the energy slammed into her. Several seconds passed by as she opened her eyes to a beautiful sight. Her smile became larger as she gazed at Naruto who was now completely shrouded in blood red Chakra with 4 tails swaying behind him. His eyes were now pure white and were glowing brightly as a cloud of steam erupted from his mouth.

Tsunade slowly made her way towards the boy and gently placed her hand on one of the boy's tails. Her hand began to burn from the corrosive Chakra but she ignored the pain as she slowly moved her hand down the tail and to his back. A growl tore itself from the boy's throat as another cloud of steam left his mouth.

"Leaving you alone... To fend for yourself while Hiruzen watched you suffer..." Tsunade shook her head as she gently rubbed the boy's arm while with holding a grunt of pain from the action.

Naruto hunched over as he let out a monsterous roar. Two more tails appeared from the boy's tailbone as a skeletal structure began to form on his body coupled with a spine and skull. The skull engulfed the boy's head and left only his eyes and mouth visible. Tsunade grimaced as the burning got worse but pushed through the pain.

"Sensei... He didn't... He didn't look after you like he should have... You were abused by the villagers and he sat by and watched..."

Another terrifying roar emanated from the boy as the 3 last tails erupted from his tail bone. Tsunades eyes widened in delight as the boy knelt down on his hands like a canine. Nine tails swayed behind the boy slowly like a rattlesnake, patiently waiting to strike and lash out at anything. She stepped in front of the boy and kneeled down while placing her hands on his face. Upon doing so she grunted loudly in pain from the burning while one of her eyes shut.

As if noticing the pain he was causing the woman, the toxic Chakra around the bottom half of the boy's face instantly shed away and revealed his tanned skin. Tsunsde breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the boy.

"Sensei and Jiraiya may have failed you but you have me." Her thumb began to stroke his feral whisker marks as her smile softened. "I'll never betray you. Your father gave me his blessing Naruto..." Her smile shifted slightly before turning cruel. She shifted her head towards Orochimaru as the shrouded teen followed her gaze.

"You and I..." Her gaze shifted back towards the boy. "We're going to bring the Elemental Nations to our heels." Those harrowing white eyes turned towards her as the beasts' head tilted. "I've been keeping things from you... But I promise you... Everything I've done... It was for you. You know why?"

The beasts head slowly shook before a loving smile blossomed on Tsunades face. Tsunade slowly leaned her face closer to the boy before placing her lips against the boys own.

"Because I love you, Naruto."

AN: HAHAHAHAHA YOU'RE MAD! SUCK MY DICK! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
