The task force walked back into Konoha not with smiles of success but frowns of disappointment. The mission had been a failure. Accelerator and his partner, who had been identified as the missing mist nin Suigetsu, had disappeared. Minato was furious with himself for sending Accelerator so far if only he hadn't been so angry then he could have kept him in sight. There was nothing that could be done now though. They searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Accelerator. When they got in the village no one in the task force said anything and just wandered off to their own homes.
"How are we going to explain this to Kaa-san and Minima?" Naruko asked.
"I don't know." Minato said. "We lost are lead and two anbu on that mission." Those were the only words they said to each other the entire way back. When they walked in the house Kushina and a recovered Minima were waiting for them.
"Welcome back." Kushina said.
"How'd it go?" Minima asked although by the looks on their faces she already knew it didn't go well.
"Accelerator escaped," was all Minato said before heading up to his room.
"Minato wait," Kushina said following him up there leaving Naruko and Minima alone.
"So I see you all better." Naruko said just to say something.
"Yeah, but I got a pretty bad scar." Minima said lifting up her shirt to reveal a circular scar just under her breasts. "I guess I should count myself luckily my back healed up without one and it's not like anyone will be able to see this one."
"Yeah at least that's good." Naruko said quietly.
"Naruko what happened? Did it really go that bad?" Minima asked.
"Not really it's not like we had a huge amount of deaths, and most of us knew going into it that it was highly likely that Accelerator would escape once he found out Lee could hit him." Naruko said tears starting to form in her eyes. "But for me it wasn't even a fight. I didn't even get close to Accelerator because if I had he would have killed me in two seconds!" Naruko yelled really starting to cry now. "He's our age but he took out two anbu like it was nothing even his partner was our age and he was a monster. I, Sasuke and Kakashi all fought him, but he held his ground against all of us. It was like Sasuke and I weren't even there Suigetsu was really only fighting Kakashi and we were just some bystanders." Naruko rolled up her sleeve to reveal bandages wrapped around her forearm. "He cut me with his sword, and he wasn't even looking in my direction." Naruko said tears running down her face and onto the floor. "I was so weak there was no point in me even going."
Minima ran towards Naruko and embraced her. "It's ok Naruko. We're both weak right now, but we'll get stronger. Strong enough so when it truly counts we'll be able to beat Accelerator." Minima said leaking tears of her own. "Things will get better."
Too bad they would not. It all started when Jiraiya got back a few days later. He immediately had a meeting with Minato who then held a family meeting inside the mansion. "What's this all about?" Kushina asked Minima.
"I don't know Jiraiya wouldn't tell me. He just said he needed to talk to all of us." Minato replied. Just then Jiraiya walked in the room and took a seat on the couch across from Minato, Kushina, Naruko and Minima.
"I could have sent this by toad, but I thought you needed to hear it from me." Jiraiya said. "I infiltrated Otogakure and I found out where Naruto is." The Namikaze's sat there stunned after losing Accelerator Jiraiya had pulled through. Minato didn't believe Jiraiya would find anything since Orochimaru would have fled Otogakure, but it looks like he was wrong.
"Well then tell us where he is!" Kushina shouted standing up.
Jiraiya signed. "You already know where he is. In fact you've all meet him just recently, but you know him by Accelerator."
"That can't be true!" Minato yelled also standing up.
"Well it is." Jiraiya said.
"How do you know!" Minato yelled.
"Because the snake told me himself!" Jiraiya yelled. Minato stopped what he was about to say next and noticed that Jiraiya was slumped down on the couch. He looked exhausted. "When I got to Otogakure it was abandon except for one person: Orochimaru. Now this wasn't the real Orochimaru just a shadow clone, but he told me that Naruto had did know who his parents were and how he escaped when the base was attack, and sometime after that changed his name to Accelerator. "
"How do you know he wasn't lying?" Minato asked finding it hard to believe that hi son was the psychopathic monster known as Accelerator.
"I guess he could've been, but Naruto being Accelerator explains so many things." Jiraiya said. "Why he came to the village when he was a kid. Why he killed the guards when we were going to ask them questions."
"But why didn't he want us to know it was him?" Minima asked unconsciously touching the scare Naruto gave her.
"He must have wanted to come back when he escaped from Orochimaru since he came to the leaf, but since anbu were called on him when he came he must have thought he wasn't wanted." Jiraiya said.
"That can't be." Kushina said her eyes dilating. "Are you saying we forced Naruto away?" Jiraiya didn't say anything, but they all knew that it was true. Kushina broke down in tears and fell to her knees.
"Kushina it's all right I'm sure if we apologize to him then he'll understand and come bac-" Minato stopped he just remembered that he had slammed a rasengan into his sons stomach. How could he ever apologize for that?
"That's not the only bad news I've come to talk about." Jiraiya said looking deeply troubled. "Orochimaru also gave me some information about the group known as the Akatsuki."
Minato managed to somewhat calm down but only to hear what this other issue was. "I thought Orochimaru was part of the Akatsuki why would he leak information on them?"
"He left the Akatsuki some time ago in fact they were the ones that attacked his base allowing Naruto to escape." Jiraiya said. "So I'm guessing Orochimaru is hoping we'll kill each other off because the Akatsuki's goal is to capture all the tailed- beasts which puts Naruko in danger."
"Why do they want the tailed beasts?" Minima asked.
"Who knows but it can't be good." Jiraiya said.
"What else do we know about the Akatsuki?" Minato asked.
Jiraiya sighed. "That's about it Orochimaru only told me about their goals nothing about their members or skills. I think he just wanted us to know about them, but not have a huge advantage over them. That way we'll lose more ninja if we have to face them, and if Orochimaru is telling the truth it looks like we'll have to."
"So what are we going to do about them?" Naruko asked very afraid of this new organization.
"The truth is Naruko I believe it would be best to take you out of the village for three years and train you so you can be better prepared to fight the Akatsuki." Jiraiya said.
"Wait just a minute Jiraiya! Are you saying you want to take another one of my kids away from me?!" Kushina yelled.
"Only temporarily," Jiraiya said trying to calm Kushina's anger.
"Minato you can't let him do this. We can train Naruko and Minima in the village and Naruko will be better protected." Kushina pleaded.
Minato was rubbing his forehead he had a terrible headache. "Just wait I need to thing. This is just all so much. Naruto, Mito, the Akatsuki and what should we do with Naruko? I just can't answer these questions all at once. Plus does Naruko want to go?" Minato asked.
Everyone looked at Naruko like they were expecting an answer. "I don't know?" Naruko said because for her too it was a lot to handle.
"Well I'll give you time to think about it. Until then I try to find out more about the Akatsuki and where Naruto disappeared to." Jiraiya said leaving the house.
"I got to go work on some things." Minato said also leaving the house.
The girls sat there in awkward silence until Naruko couldn't take it anymore. "I'm going out." She said. Once outside she felt like she could breathe. She decided to take a walk around town to clear her mind. There were just so many things that had gone wrong, and most of them were her fault. If only she had been nicer to Mito then she wouldn't have run away. If only see had trained harder then she could have fought Suigetsu on his level then maybe they would have captured Naruto. Naruko was thinking about all these things when she spotted someone she hadn't seen in a very long time sitting on a bench.
"Hey Hinata," Naruko said taking a seat beside her.
"Oh hey Naruko," Hinata said sounding detached.
"I haven't seen you in a while what have you been up too?" Naruko asked trying to start some sort of conversation to get her mind off everything.
"No much just a lot of training since I'm the one who is going to have to lead the clan." Hinata sighed.
Naruko looked at Hinata with sad eyes. She had forgotten that Mito hadn't been the only one to run off. Hinata's sister was also one of the escapees. Hinata must feel just as guilty about it as Naruko is about Mito. "Hey Hinata," Naruko said.
Hinata looked at Naruko for the first time since she sat down. "Yes Naruko."
"Don't worry, we may have screwed up as sisters, but I'm sure once we see then again we'll be able to make it up to them. So just keep trying and get even stronger." Naruko said giving Hinata the thumbs-up.
Hinata actually smiled for the first time in a long time. Here was someone who knew what she was going through and probably had it even worse than she did, yet she could still smile and believe she could fix things so why couldn't Hinata. "You right Naruko let's work hard to bring are sisters back."
Mito and Hitomi were grinning like idiots when Naruto woke up. "What are you two grinning about?" Naruto asked with no sense of humor in his voice.
"Oh nothing just thinking that you two would make a good couple." Mito said giggling to herself.
Naruto realized what they were looking at and turned to see that Hanabi was still sleeping soundly on his chest. Sometime during the night Hanabi had worked her way up so her arms were now wrapped around his neck and her head was resting just under his chin. Naruto just sighed dealing with the brats was getting tiresome. Naruto tapped the back Hanabi's head with his knuckles. Hanabi slowly opened her eyes. "Well good morning Hanabi did you sleep comfortably?" Naruto asked with the sweatiest smile he could pull off.
"It was nice." Hanabi said her mind still fogged from just wakening up.
"That's nice," Naruto said his smile slowly turning into a look the promised pain. "Now would you please get off me."
Hanabi finally realized that she was on Naruto chest and at a speed that would put the Hokage to shame she got off Naruto had into line with the rest of the girls. Her face was so red that she was sure it would be tinted that way forever. "I-I'm Sorr-y Na- Accelerator. Um how are you feeling?" Hanabi said tapping her fingers like her sister had always done.
"I actually feel I lot better." Naruto said getting out of bed. There was still a little pain, but it was more of an irritation then an actually problem, and since he felt fine there was one thing he needed to do. He changed his refection back to normal. "Now since I've been out for a couple of days I'm pretty hungry, so why don't you make me something to eat Hanabi. After all you made sure to keep me warm while I was sleeping to you must be concerned about my well-being."
This about sent Hanabi over the edge as it looked she would die from embarrassment and probably would have if Mito and Hitomi hadn't garbed on to each of her arms and dragged her off to where Naruto assumed the kitchen was; giggling all the way.
"Stupid brats," Naruto said. He decided to take the time he had alone to explore the base. The walls were all made of stone and each room was connected with a dimly lit tunnel. Naruto assumed they were either underground or craved into the side of a mountain. The base was pretty well suited for everything and anything a missing nin might need. There were plenty of bedrooms, a large area for training, which by the looks of it Suigetsu had been using since there were cut up training dummies everywhere. There was a small medical bay that Naruto probably should have gone to instead of just sleeping a rasengan off. There was a library with books on just about everything, a dining room, the kitchen which Naruto could hear racket coming from so he didn't bother to go in, and some kind of meeting room. Naruto assumed he would get all his assessments there.
Naruto took a seat in the dining room and waited for the girls to bring out his food, and thought about his new position with the Akatsuki. He would need to make the girls stronger since he was sure they would also be getting missions from the Akatsuki, and although it was unlikely they would been sent out on S-rank mission like Naruto was likely to be seen on he doubted the missions they got were going to be simple escort missions. He would also have to get stronger his fight with the leaf had shown him that he had been too dependent on his refection. While he was thinking of some new tricks the girls brought his food.
"Hope you enjoy." Hitomi said setting the food in front of him. Naruto eyed each of the girls to see how they felt about join the Akatsuki; they seemed happy. Hanabi seemed to have gotten over herself as her blush was gone, but the way Mito and Hitomi were eyeing her made Naruto think that a serious girl conversation had gone down in the kitchen. They would probably never tell him what they talked about, but Naruto had a theory he wanted to test.
"This is pretty good," Naruto said taking a bite of his food. "But I feel like it just isn't enough. Were there any maid costumes back there you three could where." Mito put her hand over her mouth trying not to giggle having guessed what Naruto was doing. Hitomi was looking at Naruto like he was the biggest pervert since Jiraiya, and poor little Hanabi's face was so red that Naruto was sure that if you touched it you'd burn you hand.
Naruto chuckled as he took some more bites of his food, but then Zestu had to come and ruin his fun. "That's cruel of you," Zestu said emerging from the floor besides Naruto. The black side seemed annoyed at the white said for making such a comment and decided they needed to get down to business. "Follow us we need to discuss your position within the Akatsuki."
Naruto got up and followed Zestu to the meeting room. The girls tried to follow but Zestu took them only official Akatsuki members were allowed. Once they enter the room a number of seals appeared on the wall that Naruto assumed were there to keep anyone from listening in. "First things first welcome to the Akatsuki." Zestu said handing Naruto the Akatsuki cloak and a red ring with the kanji for shu on it. "Put the ring on your right middle finger." Naruto did along with putting on the cloak. "The ring will allow you to use Pein's magic lantern body technique which you'll need to help with the sealing of the jinchuriki."
"That's great on all," Naruto said admiring his new ring. "But could you just tell me what I have to do?"
"This one's impatient maybe we should pair him with Sasori. Don't be stupid Sasori already has a partner." Zestu said to himself.
"Hold on what's this about a partner?" Naruto said.
"Akatsuki work ink pairs of two. Lucky for you, or unlucky, Kisame the man who was supposed to be your partner was assigned to another member, due to a rather bloody accident, So as of right now we don't have a partner for you, so until we can find another person that meets the Akatsuki's requirements you be supporting the girls on bounty hunting missions."
"I see so basically I'm doing what I've already been doing expect I'm giving the money to the Akatsuki," Naruto said.
"If you want to think about it that way then sure." Zestu said.
"Can I pick my own targets?" Naruto asked.
"As long as their bounty is worth the time and they aren't someone who will get the Akatsuki a lot of attention for taking out, so stink to missing nins." Zestu said.
"Well if that's it then I better start finding some bounties." Naruto said leaving the room. When he got out the girls were waiting for him no doubt having tried to listen in on them.
"That looks good on you." Mito said eyeing the cloak.
"Mabey one day you'll get one, but for now you three have training to do." Naruto said. "Go to the library and find an elemental jutsu you think you can learn then go to the training room and learn it. I've got to talk to Suigetsu about what bounty we're going to go for."
"Hai," the girls said as they rushed off to the library.
"Now to find Suigetsu." Naruto said.
Naruto and Suigetsu spent the rest of the day looking through the bingo book secreting for an acceptable missing to hunt down that was in Mito's, Hanabi's and Hitomi's skill range. Unfortunately for the girls they found someone way out of their skill range, but too good to pass up: Raiga Kurosuki one of the seven swordsmen and currently missing nin. "This is pretty brutal for their first mission. I mean look this guy's anbu level." Naruto said.
"Hey if the brats want to become the new generation of the seven swordsmen then they'll have to get their hands on the seven swords." Suigetsu said eyeing the Kiba blade with a lustful look in his eye. "Besides your sisters genin team had to face Zabuza on their first mission and they lived."
"I guess you right he has a nice bounty and getting that sword will boost their strength, but I want to let them finish learning the new elemental jutsus I assigned before heading out." Naruto said.
"But what if someone else gets to him before we do?" Suigetsu said nervously.
"It will be fine," Naruto said. It didn't seem to calm Suigetsu down however. "If you're so worried about it then go in there and help Hanabi with her water jutsu." Naruto had never seen Suigetsu move so fast.
It only took two days for the girls to learn their jutsus thanks to Suigetsu's help. Then the group headed off to find Raiga. Naruto found out they were craved into the side of a mountain when they left the base. The girls were excited and nervous to be fighting some one of such high level. Naruto had promised them that if it looked like they were going to be killed then he'd step in, but other than that he wasn't going to help them at all, so the entire journey the girls spent discussing strategies and asking Suigetsu for information about Raiga and his skills.
Once they finally made it to the small mining town that Raiga was in the girls had a pretty good plan. Asking around the village and although the villages were hesitant to talk to Naruto due to his appearance when the girls asked they revealed that Raiga had a small following called the Kurosuki Family. Apparently they buried people alive "Well that sucks, come on Suigetsu let's take out the grunts." Naruto said.
"I thought you said we weren't going to help them fight." Suigetsu said but followed Naruto none the less. "I didn't know he had a following. I don't want the girls getting tried out because they had to fight the cannon fodder."
The group made their way towards Raiga's base on top of a mountain. Naruto and Suigetsu took out the Kurosuki family with little effort. Once they made it to the top Raiga was waiting for them with the Kiba blade in hand. Although it was two separate blades, so he actually had one in each hand. He also had some sort of backpack on.
"Well what do you know if it isn't Suigetsu. Are you here to take my head?" Raiga asked.
"Yes and no. We are here to kill you, but I won't be one taking your head." Suigetsu said.
"Really so I'm going to have to bury your friend here." Raiga said looking at Naruto.
"Wrong on that too you'll be fighting them." Suigetsu said as he and Naruto stepped to the side to show the three girls behind them. "They'll be the ones killing you."
Raiga looked at the girls who were staring at him intensely. "Come on do you really think three girls is enough to beat me?"
The girls looked annoyed before they each disappeared then reappeared in the air on all sides of Raiga prepared to attack. "Don't take us lightly." Mito said.
"And you need to take me more seriously. Lightning dragon tornado!" Raiga yelled as he put his swords above his head and started spinning. The result was a tornado of lighting that look like a dragon. The girls were in the air and couldn't dodge so they were all hit by the attack. It didn't do too much damage but it did send them to the ground in a rather painful landing.
Raiga stooped his jutsus facing Naruto and Suigetsu. "Now how about you two give me a real fight." Raiga said and sent a lightning bolt from the tip of one his swords. Naruto put his hand out and let the lighting hit his palm before sending it in a random direction. Although putting his hand out wasn't necessary it just made a greater effected then him just standing there.
"Why don't you focus on your own fight." Naruto said as Raiga was quickly forced to dodge a great fireball form Hitomi. Hanabi came up behind him and it looked like she was going to hit a few of his chakra points, but he somehow knew exactly where she was. He turned around and gave her a nice slash on her cheek. She was forced to pull back to avoid getting seriously hurt.
"How did he know I was behind him? I didn't make a sound." Hanabi thought. Hanabi would have to put that thought on the backburner for now. "Water Bullet!" She shouted as she sent a stream of water from her mouth and on to the ground under Raiga.
"Come on it's going to take more than a little water to beat me." Raiga teased.
"Lightning bolt!" Mito yelled as she shot a strand if lighting from her fingers at the water that Hanabi had laid down.
Raiga stuck his swords into the water and they acted like upside-down lighting rods and absorbed all the lighting Mito had shot. "Did you really think you would get me with a lightning jutsu like that? I show you a real lightning jutsu." Raiga said as he pulled his swords out of the ground a lifted then into the air. "Fangs of lightning!" He shouted as two huge bolts of lightning were sent into the cloud.
The girls only had a second to realize what was going on before lightning bolts rained form the sky and barley missed them. They had to run around trying their best to not get hit by the endless number of blots. Hanabi used Palm Rotation to block the bolts, but Mito and Hitomi weren't as lucky. They tried to run behind Raiga, but somehow he still knew exactly where they were and they were hit.
The pain was unbelievable it felt like their entire bodies were being roasted inside out. Smoke escaped form their mouths as the lightning heated their organs. They both collapsed to the ground as the Raiga stopped his jutsu. Hanabi was horrified to see her friends in so much pain, but as Naruto hadn't step in she knew they at least were alive. There was one other thing Hanabi had noticed something that she hadn't been able to see when fighting up close. The pack on Raiga back was giving off its own chakra signature. There was someone inside it and Hanabi bet whoever it was, was the reason that Raiga knew where they were even if they weren't in his line of sight.
"Hitomi! Mito! Aim for his backpack!" Hanabi yelled even if she didn't know if they could respond or even continue fighting for that matter. Raiga showed the briefest expression of panic when Hanabi said that however so she knew she was on the right track.
Raiga did not find Hanabi plan as helpful as she did, so he rushed her. Hanabi was forced to dodge the expert sword play of Raiga. This pretty much put her of the defensive as any attack she tried would likely get her copped into pieces. Not that she was doing a great job of keeping up with Raiga anyways. His attacks were just too fast and Hanabi too slow. She managed to avoid being hit anywhere vital, but the cut down her arms and stomach were begging to get very painful.
Meanwhile on the other side of the mountain Hitomi and Mito were trying to get to their feet which was a surprisingly hard task to accomplish. Every muscle they moved sent a shock of pain throughout their entire body, but seeing Hanabi fight so hard finally gave them the strength to get up. They would have to believe in Hanabi and trust that attacking Raiga's backpack would somehow give them an advantage. He seemed distracted fighting Hanabi, but since he seemed to know where they were at all times if they tried to rush him he'd turn his attention back to them.
"Mito I have a plan." Hitomi said.
"It's more than I have." Mito replied.
Hanabi was getting hit more and more often as the battle dragged on. She knew she was in a bad situation as she had seen Naruto getting ready to intervene on more than one occasion during one of Raiga's attacks that would hit one of Hanabi's vitals, but she would always just manage to dodge. It looked like they had lost and it would be up to Naruto to take out Raiga, but there was one more thing the girls were going to try.
Hanabi saw Hitomi running up behind Raiga with a kunai in hand. Raiga noticed her and looked over his shoulder to keep an eye on Hitomi. When he did Hitomi threw her kunai which had an explosive tag on it. Raiga just held up one of his swords to hit it out of the way, but before he could Mito shot lighting at the kunai causing the tag to go off prematurely covering Raiga in smoke.
Raiga haveing suddenly lost sight of Hitomi started talking to his bag to try and find out where she was. Hitomi had already pulled out another kunai and was getting close to Raiga. Something was off though, for Hitomi is seemed like the world was moving slower and sharper than ever before, so when she finally got close enough to Raiga to strike she could see the swings of his swords and dodged then. Raiga could tell that he wasn't going to be able to hit Hitomi in time so he stepped back as Hitomi made her swing. Hitomi didn't make contact with him, but she did cut the strap on his backpack causing it fall off.
Raiga made a desperate grab for the bag losing all focus on the girls. This allowed Hanabi to get in close and block a number of his chakra points on his arm. He dropped one of the swords while his other hand was holding onto the bad and a sword. It was amazing how just one attack had changed the whole battle. Raiga was outnumbered and with only one hand holding two things he was in trouble.
The girls quickly realized that targeting the bag would cause Raiga to let himself be hit (if he couldn't block or dodge) instead of letting the weapons pierce the bag. Raiga was still an anbu and hard to hit, but since his offensive weapons weren't very effective with only one arm he was slowly going down.
As the girls continued to land hit after hit. A voice coming from inside the bag made itself more apparent. Pleading with Raiga to 'leave him and run' but Raiga stood his ground up until the very end and even with all the attacks Raiga never let a single one hit the bag.
Once Raiga collapsed the girl did the same. They were bloody and out of breath, but they had taken down one of the seven swordsmen all by themselves. "Hitomi your eyes." Mito gasped.
"What about them?" Hitomi asked.
"Why don't you take a look." Suigetsu said holding the flat of his sword to Hitomi's face so she could see the reflection. Hitomi gasped she had awoken her sharingan. Each of her eyes had two tomoes in them.
After Hitomi had some time to take it in Suigetsu followed Naruto to Raiga body or more specially the bag. The bag was making a soft crying noise as Naruto and Suigetsu looked at it. "Who do you think's in there?" Suigetsu asked.
"It doesn't matter he's just another one of Raiga's grunts." Naruto said.
"He seemed to actually care for this one though." Suigetsu said.
"Just because he did doesn't mean we should." Naruto said.
"Guess you're right." Suigetsu said making his hand into a finger gun and firing water bullets at the bag. The crying stooped as blood seeped through the newly created holes.
Naruto went around and collected the swords as Suigetsu cut off Raiga head so they could get the bounty. "These are yours now." Naruto said handing the two blades to Mito. "You have lighting nature so it only makes sense that you should get the Kiba."
"Thank you," Mito said accepting the swords.
"That's great," Suigetsu said sounding really excited. "Now I can train you in kenjutsu, but first you'll have to follow the old tradition of the seven swordsmen: getting your teeth sharpened." Suigetsu said showing off his own sharpened teeth.
"What I don't what my teeth sharpened!" Mito yelled.
"Hey every one of the swordsmen did it." Suigetsu stated.
"Raiga didn't have his teeth sharpened!" Mito said.
"Let me tell you a secret. The swordsmen's power comes from two things their swords and their teeth. Raiga lost because he didn't have the second thing." Suigetsu said.
"That's sounds like a load of crap! Come on Accelerator you can't let him sharpen my teeth." Mito pleaded.
"My hands are tied. If Suigetsu won't teach you kenjutsu unless your teeth get sharpen then it looks like you don't have a choice." Naruto said with his own dark smile that Mito suddenly thought would look good if his own teeth were sharpened.
Back in Konoha Minato had called Kushina and Jiraiya to his office. "What's this about?" Kushina asked.
Minato sighed he knew Kushina wasn't going to like what he had in mind. "I've decided what to do about Naruto. I'm going to put him in the bingo book as an S-rank under his real name."
"Minato you can't do that! Naruto will be killed!" Kushina yelled.
"He's already in the bingo book!" Minato yelled back. "Besides I'm putting in additional information that I want him to be brought back to Konoha alive for a huge reward. This should make any bounty hunter that wants to kill Naruto for Kumogakure's bounty think twice, and since he'll be under his real name I think people we'll get why I want him alive."
"But what about all the people who want him dead, because he's related to you?" Jiraiya questioned.
"I'll just have to trust their greed for money is higher than their anger for revenge." Minato said.
Kushina still didn't want her son to be a target for the whole world but if it was the best chance to get their son back them she would just have to hope for the best.
So the next day Accelerator's bingo book profile was updated to now say Naruto Namikaze (Accelerator) S-Rank.
