Summary: "For the last time, Hokage-Sama. I am a kickass Dark Lord and not a stupid shinobi." Minato Namikaze has never been more stunned by this Naruto Slytherin...
Thanks for encouraging comments.
Chapter 10: A New Beginning
"Sit down." Danzo more or less commanded his former teammates.
Koharu Utatane and Homaru Mitokuda were too stunned to decline.
"Just what in the hell were you guys thinking?" It was seldom that Danzo was visibly angry. Sure, he had a temper but he rarely showed it.
"What games are you playing Danzo?" Koharu getting angry herself, fired back. Hell, hath no fury as a woman scorned. Homaru prepared to play peacemaker before Danzo spoke quietly.
"Kira Saito."
A dead silence echoed in the room.
"I have had nothing to do with that traitor with years." Koharu spoke firmly.
Danzo gave her a look which betrayed nothing, yet everything was clearly on the table. Danzo knew and now they knew he knew.
The question was whether he had a solid proof or not.
"Gathering Slytherin's mind skills are important but force will not aid us." Danzo said seemingly going off a tangent.
"Especially when he can force his way through a perfect Yamanaka mind shield."
The paling of both the elders confirmed Homaru's involvement.
"How long have you known about this?" Homaru asked.
"Since the attack." Danzo admitted finally.
"And you have done nothing?!" Enraged, the kunoichi asked.
Danzo frowned.
"I have done more in the last 5 years than you two have done in your entire careers." It was harsh but there had been consequences to the ill thought out plan. Slytherin had came out winning by an unprecedented margin.
With his loyalty uncertain, a valuable pawn might be lost. Especially which might turn out to become a queen after all.
So Danzo had to sacrifice his other pieces.
"Explain." Koharu demanded. Danzo decided to humour her.
"Slytherin came to me 5 years ago with an offer." The astonished look tinged with hope on their face was disgusting.
"It costed me a lot and you will be redressing me for it." He revelled in their devastation.
(Konoha General)
"Again?" Kurenai Yuhi asked as she peeked inside the resident's room.
"Forgive me the folly of youth, sensei." Naruto reached and passed on the cover to the resident who snuggled into it.
Reaching for his pants and lab coat, he asked, "I thought our session was not till day after tomorrow."
"I was worried about Izuna. He seems to be coughing a lot lately." She had the worried look that seems to be patented for every mother with a sick child.
"I am an internal medicine specialist not a paediatrician." The only field of medicine he hated more was OB/GY. He could never stand women/children or the unholy pregnant women.
"But surely you can look him over?"
He sighed and reached for his replica of an expensive Littman that he had transfigured.
There was no way he was using the cheap plastic tube they called stethoscope here.
…
"Well his lungs are clear and his heart seems in excellent condition." Izuna looked like a replica of his mother with red eyes and black hair.
"Did he have a fever?" Kurenai responded in negative. Upon asking if there was any expectoration while coughing, it prompted another denial.
"I doubt anything serious, most likely a normal viral. Some cough syrup is all I can recommend for him at this point." Instead of writing a prescription, Naruto reached and plucked out a bottle. One of the non-magical ones.
He explained the dosage before continuing.
"As for you, are you sure the housewife is suiting up?"
Kurenai smiled at her students concern before responding," Somebody has to take care of him and Sasuke."
Ah yes, after Itachi had slaughtered her husband along with the rest of the clan, it had fallen to Kurenai to manage the remaining two Uchihas of Konoha.
"Do you blame me?"
"Why would I? The massacre wasn't your fault."
"If you hadn't agreed to tutor me, you wouldn't have settled down. You once mentioned it last year."
Kurenai's smile seemed a little sadder now.
"Well I wouldn't have Izuna with me, would I then?"
"Spare me the parental affection, it is beyond me." Naruto sneered.
"When you became a parent…."
"If, Sensei, if I became a parent." He had listened to that line, a million times and more.
…
Even as she left, Naruto couldn't help but wonder about the changes that the last years had bought him. So many teachings and experimenting. New avenues of healing and so much to learn. So little time.
"Next patient." He spoke. Lung carcinoma. Would need magical potions.
"Next patient." Adenocarcinoma of Oesophagus.
"Next patient." Normal gastritis? Waste of time. Stupid rich nobles.
"Next patient." Tetralogy of Fallot? What the hell was a surgical referral doing here? Stupid secretary. He had hired her but apparently, he couldn't fire her because she had been a lousy lay. Tsunade had not been understanding.
"Next patient." How many times would Jiraiya get testicular trauma? He referred him to surgery for a castration. Cannot have our balls busted if you don't have any.
"Next patient." And on it went.
Just another day in life of Naruto Slytherin.
Might Gai punched straight through his face.
"Straighten your back." He pushed himself up, taking care to straighten his back.
A leg shot out towards Gai, who dodged under it and punched at his crotch. Naruto blocked it, feeling the bones in his hand rattle despite Gai holding back. Chakra flooded it, softening the blow a little.
Gai intertwined the fingers with his, turning the blocked punch into a firm grip. This was bad but the fact that Gai was going to break his other leg into pieces was worse.
Gate of Opening: Open
He wasn't a melee fighter. Despite all the training he had done, the pain was at its upper limit and despite harsh years of training, one was all he could manage.
But one was all he needed.
Strength came and with-it speed. He punched at Gai's shoulder, successfully dislocating it inferiorly. He had intentionally punched it that way as shoulder was weakest against a downward force.
But Gai ignored it and settled for turning the entrapped arm into an axis and wrapping himself around his neck like a python.
Jiu-jutsu?!
He had lost. Done correctly, there was no way out of a Jiu-jutsu hold.
"What were your mistakes?" When he fights, there was no youth that defined him. Might Gai was a killing machine through and through.
"Should have aimed for your head." Gai nodded in agreement. A single shot like that shouldn't be wasted.
Naruto flooded his body with healing chakra.
" Amazing…." Gai's team was watching from far away. The kunoichi had said it, seemingly mesmerized by the greenish glow that seemed to emit from his body.
"Visible healing chakra, you must have impeccable vitality to maintain something like that." Guess what, the genius tag wasn't just for show. If he could see the healing magic that constrained the chakra, that would have been a problem.
"Just a quirk." Naruto said placing a hand on Gai's shoulder, repairing it. Thread seemed to grow out of his body in a manner eerily similar to Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear but far smaller and finer. Traction seemed to come momentarily reducing the fracture to nothing while inflammation seemed to disappear under the influence of healing magic and chakra.
If Kakuzu's unnatural fibres were power, Naruto's organic hair like structures were control.
"Looks like our client has come." Neji mentioned, his Byakugan visible. On Gai's motion they left towards the Hokage Tower.
Even Naruto.
"You don't look like a Ninja." Drunk and stupid, Tazuna already grated on Naruto's nerves but he supposed he could understand where the man was coming from.
Acromantula black silk transmutated with glistening silver runes and a tall lithe built seemed to have given him an aristocratic look that was missing in almost all ninjas.
"As you both are travelling to Wave, we should all be travelling together." came the voice of what was probably his escort. And wasn't he a familiar sight.
"Ah my rival!" Figures, Gai would be excited to see his rival. Kakashi introduced him to Sasuke, Sakura and Narumi.
"Ahh, you are the weird guy who hangs around with aunty Tsunade!" She was a bit dumb and nobody had filled her on the fact that the adult looking guy was actually her twin brother.
And while Naruto had been in on and off contact with the Namikazes, there had been so much to do in the last years that they had honestly slipped his mind. The only reason he even remained in contact with Tsunade was because she had been his contractor and was his sort of boss.
That and the lovely apprentice of hers was a screamer. It is always the quite ones. He would rate her only second to the freaky special jounin.
If only she didn't have the weird obsession with snakes.
Naruto would be last person to call someone on obsessing over the beautiful reptiles but the day Anko Mitarashi stopped trying to shove a python up his ass, he might just put a ring on that finger.
"It is nice to meet you Namikaze-san too." He politely greeted. She blustered.
She wasn't the only one. Her teammate too. Naruto was more than aware that the Tom Riddle affect on his body had been desirable to the fairer sex.
"While it is interesting…." Kakashi drawled, "Do you all have your stuff?"
He looked pointedly at Naruto who was clearly unburdened.
"I can create food or water if I want." Naruto for his part had been sort of waiting for such an opportunity for close to a year now and couldn't see a reason not to take it.
"Meaning?" Kakashi had to admit his interest was piqued before he felt it.
Chakra came and so did magic. Life came and so did knowledge.
His comprehension complete, he knew everything there was to know in the Konoha's library. Specifically, about Konoha's most famous bloodline. Now only application was left.
With exertion of will, Naruto bent his very lifeforce and connected to the lifeforce of the planet. Every ninja and ANBU stopped to watch. Even the civilians and birds seemed to watch in the busy Hokage square.
Naruto slammed his hand together.
"MOKUTON!"
And with a force that defied explanation, nearby saplings seem to come to live and the very earth parted as if bent to the will of life.
In front of their astonished eyes, flower bloomed and the trees bore fruit. An apple fell into Naruto's waiting hand.
Whether it was the satisfaction of a plan gone well, mirth at their dumbstruck expression or perhaps just the taste of the fruit, Naruto's eyes glowed happily.
Hopefully, it wouldn't take more than a week for the knowledge to spread around the globe. He would be back by then.
Naruto left for the gates. The Wave awaited them.
The rest were too stunned to declined and merely followed. There were a lot of questions and no answers.
