Chapter 11
It was a morning in konoha, everyone was slightly tense after yesterday's events the news had spread like wildfire. Minato and Kushina was thinking about their son and his sisters were hoping for the best. Naruto himself was kind of feeling guilty, he decided to hide his involvement knowing that people would try demanding that he is too dangerous and make an excuse to get revenge for their uchicha, he went about his daily affairs as normal and put on his outfit but kept his visor hidden he walked and quietly sat down at the table, he noticed that everyone was looking at him, he said "is there something on my face?" causing everyone to look away minato said "no nothing" they ate breakfast and everyone left naruto decided to go check up on hinata, he put his mask on and headed towards the compound when he noticed hinata coming towards him he landed in front of her causing her to jump he said "Good morning, are you ok hinata?" hinata knew he was trying to act obliviously "hai, can we go somewhere else alone I need you to ask you something." He looked at her and said "Alright" he put his hand on her shoulder and flashed her on to the top of the hokage mountain, he said "what is it hinata?" "Naruto stop acting" "what do you mean?" "Naruto I know it was you last night" naruto was shocked but still tried to act as if he didn't know anything" I don't what you are talking about" "Naruto I know because I can recognise your chakra anywhere and those techniques also so please tell me the truth, I know it was you because the rose was always your calling card and only you make me feel that comfortable" hinata looked into his eyes, naruto knew he had been caught he looked down and said "hai, hai it was me I killed them all, you must think I am a monster right?" she said "Take off your mask naruto" he did as she asked, she walked up to him and kissed him hard on the lips and he returned it he put her tongue in her and explored her mouth causing her to squirm they finally parted for air, hinata was red as a tomato and sat down in naruto's lap and hugged him, she said "You saved my life you are a hero not a monster" "Thank you hime" he wrapped his arms around her they sat like that for a few hours.
Meanwhile in the council room minato had summoned the council, he said "Well I did summon this council for a shinobi matter so why are the elders and civilians here?" one civilian said "what do you mean we are the council we have power as well" minato said "no you and elders have power over civilian matter…I HAVE POWER OVER ALL SHINOBI BECAUSE I AM THE HOKAGE! NOW LEAVE!" he said increasing his KI he said "Elders and civilians are to leave now, ANBU escort them out if they resist…kill them" the civilians and elders exited grumbling. Minato then said "this meeting has been convened to discuss the matter regarding the massacre of the hyuuga elders and the unknown assailant" hiashi said "hokage-sama I don't want to press any charges, they were traitors and whoever did this also saved my daughter than man is a hero" the other agreed knowing the details. Minato smiled knowing this was going in the right direction, he said "I agree… Neko", Yugao appeared and said "Orders, Hokage-sama?" "bring my son here and also hiashi's daughter" she nodded and disappeared shibi said "I can understand hinata since she was the victim and witness but why naruto?" "all will be answered shibi" was all he said.
Neko had finally found her two targets and saw they were cuddling on the top of the hokage monument, she was about to approach them when she heard "you know neko-chan staring is considered rude". Naruto turned around and hinata blushed on being caught in such a position, naruto said "what can I do for you? I am sure you are not here to see us cuddle, are you?" neko blushed slightly and said "Your father requests both of your presence in the council room" naruto nodded he picked hinata off his lap who was slightly disappointed and said "ready to go hime" she nodded "See ya later Neko-chan" and they both disappeared in a red flash leaving a stunned neko behind thinking 'like father, like son'.
They reappeared in the centre of the council room, naruto noticed that only the shinobi council was present. He kept his mask on and said "guessing from the people present here, I say this is a shinobi matter and the fact I and hinata are being summoned tells me it's about last night". Minato smiled at this son's intellect and said "yes naruto you see during investigation of the incident of the hyuuga's I found some evidence regarding the culprit who killed them" hiashi asked "what would that be". Minato said "Genin Naruto place a kunai and shuriken on the table please" knowing his father was in business mode he did as said he said "just as I thought so you were responsible" causing naruto to look away, tsume said "what do you mean hokage-sama?" minato said "these were used to kill the hyuuga elder whose body we found outside the mansion" as he placed a similar kunai and shuriken on the table shikaku said "that means the demonic persona that rescued hinata hyuuga and killed all the hyuuga who were responsible and the one who owns the moniker of the Scarlet Moon Prince is none other than Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze" everyone was shocked and looked at him minato said "do you have anything to say naruto?" Naruto remain silent, sensing the slight fear in him tsume said "go ahead pup tell the truth, what you did was the right thing we just want to know why you did it yourself rather than asking us for help", naruto looked around and saw all the other members of the council nod including the hokage, he felt someone squeeze his hand and saw hinata who said "trust them naruto-kun they will understand". Naruto sighed and took off his mask showing everyone his scars for the first time, causing shibi to ask "those scars of yours are they the reason you wear a mask? How did you get them' he looked at them with his red eyes and said "yes they are the reason I wear a mask and as for how I buried that matter a long time ago" naruto then said "yes it is true I killed the 12 hyuuga branch members and 3 hyuuga elders and if such a decision would be necessary to be made in the future then I would do it in a heartbeat" causing everyone to be stunned at his bold declaration he continued "to protect the ones I deem precious to me I will do whatever it takes no matter what…" hiashi said "while I do commend you for your bravery naruto but why did you do it yourself rather than telling the hokage about it" naruto sighed and said "let me put this in a way which shikkaku-san would have put it in considering he already knows the answer" shikkaku smirked slightly "if I had found hinata and then proceeded to find the hokage who was flashing around the village followed by his ANBU and then waited for him to get there, hinata would have been raped and killed and the culprits uncaught." Hinata shivered at the implication causing naruto to console her "plus I was very angry when they gloated what they would do her and how they poisoned her mother, so I killed them all, and if anyone has complained about the method I used then let me tell you in my book rapist and scum like them deserve no less" his voice turning cold, minato said "so, council what is your verdict?" the members discussed and hiashi said "considering that genin uzumaki protected the clan heiress of the hyuuga clan and disposed of traitors to konoha, he should be rewarded for his job with the pay of an S-rank mission" causing naruto and minato to smile and hinata to be relieved. Naruto said "hokage there is something else… I got this from one of the elders" he pulled out a scroll and threw it, hokage caught it and unsealed the contents and read it and said "this gives me reason to kill half the civilian council, the elders and danzo for treason" naruto said "I believe this will also lead to the disbandment of the civilian council?" hokage nodded, naruto quickly pulled out his gun and fired two shots in the ceiling causing two ninja to fall on the ground, they were ROOT ninja, naruto said "looks like someone didn't want to miss the conversation I bet he has more in your office" the hokage ordered his ANBU to sweep the office and take them the to T&I, naruto said "when you go for danzo I want in" naruto said in a voice leaving no room for argument, the hokage nodded "Very well you will be informed" naruto summoned his mask and activated his visor and disappeared with hinata in a flash. Tsume said "that kid does now how to make a statement especially with that mask of his", shikkaku said "a genin and already mastering in assassinations, assault and recon I saw the scene it was well coordinated, we may have a kage-level shinobi here hokage-sama, we should test him all he needs is experience, he will be great asset to the village that will only improve considering his genin status" everyone nodded shocked at the implications.
Naruto reappeared in front of the hyuuga compound and said "here we are hina-hime" hinata said "Would you come in for some time?" he nodded and sat in the garden cuddling with her he thought 'hey kasumi-chan is there way to cure hinata's mother from what I heard even tsunade's treatment can't regenerate at the speed the poison is killing her' "there is a way" 'what is it?' "the light element is able to cure any disease therefore is mostly used in medical jutsu I can show you the hand seals to heal her" 'hmm… show me I want to make it happen' "that's so like you to help anyone" 'what can I do it's in my nature plus hina-hime would be happy'. He looked at hinata and said "Hina-hime how is your mother?" hinata looked sad and said "she is getting worse nothing is working" she started sobbing only for naruto to say "there is a way" hinata perked up and asked "what" he told her how his light element could heal her "so do you want me to try" she nodded and lead him to her mother's room. They entered and saw her mother who was frail and weak her skin pale, she saw her daughter and said "how are you hinata?" "I am fine kaa-san" "this must be the naruto you talk about huh?" hinata blushed and said "kaa-san naruto says he might be able to heal you" she looked at him and said "I don't think so naruto not even tsunade could heal me" naruto pleaded "at least let me try" she nodded and he proceeded to go through hand seals and said Mystic Palm: Angel's Touch! Placing his palm on her chest and causing her to enveloped in white light when the light faded naruto dropped to his knees panting hinata rushed to him and said "are you ok naruto-kun" "yeah hime that took a lot out of me, I used as much as I can spare" he looked at hitomi and saw that her skin was getting its colour back naruto said "look hime" hinata looked and saw that her mother was looking better by the minute, naruto said "use your byakugan to check her body" he said as he activated his samsara eye while hinata activated her byakugan, they both saw that all traces of poison in her body was gone and the body was healing itself, she looked at him and hugged him and cried saying "thank you naruto-kun" he said "you are welcome hime" she kissed him and blushed, meanwhile hitomi who saw this said "oh my, my hinata is so bold" causing her to stutter "k-k-kaa-san" she just laughed and said "don't worry I approve of him hiashi does too". They both smiled and sat down for a while and talked to her, then later naruto left blitzing through roofs as he was still tired from that jutsu 'thanks kasumi-chan' "You are welcome Naruto-kun" he reached his house and entered quickly and went to his room and locked it he removed his mask and lied down on the bed thinking what the others will think about him when they find out tomorrow and how to deal with danzo.
Later he came down for dinner and saw everyone looking at him, he tried to ignore them until Narumi said "We all know what you did and we won't judge you" he looked at everyone and smiled and ate dinner during which he got the idea of putting summoning seals on his weapons to have them returned to their holsters. He decided to do it first thing tomorrow and went to his room. Minato told kushina that how naruto and he himself wanted to kill danzo when he found about the fact that he wished to use her as breeding stock and the girls as weapons, and how coldly naruto had said he would kill him. Kushina was angry at danzo and worried about her son she said "so what should we do?" "Nothing naruto is fine" "what do you mean?" "he is doing what all sons and brother do…being overprotective" kushina agreed and told minato to include her as well. They all went to sleep.
