Do to popular demand I have returned to the story of Naruto being the son of the... Im joking. It is I'm friends with the hunt and wisdom chapter ten! Give a cheer because it is here. I have started up a plot line to the story with events being more close together instead of the leap frogging it. But You don't want to read my rabble so here it is.


Rei Shibatai swish the wine around his goblet as he stood on the balcony of his lordship's palace in deep thought. A minor noble of the court with only a few generations of nobility, the young man knew that in order to cement his position and perhaps increase it he had to marry someone of worth in the fire country. For generations his family had married kunichi from various minor ninja villages to gain footholds of territory and political sway along with jutsu. But like his mother before him he wanted something more than what his family expected. While his father was the richest merchant guild master whom his mother married, he wanted to marry a woman or young lady to show off to the various noblemen and be his.

Five years ago he went to Konoha on an excursion to see the last so called loyal, Uchia? Uncha?, clan member Sasuke. The boy wasn't willing to see Rei so the trip was a waste for a possible route of an increase of status until he saw them. Two young girls with the village's demon brat that he was warned about.

Oh he knew who he was. Naruto Uzumaki, or to be more correct, the son of the late fourth Hokage and the one who ruined his political scheme after the third shinobi war. Not that the man knew of course as it was only by sheer chance that the carrier was killed as collateral damage. How he hated that man after that incident, his position in the court was threatened and his blasted decision to marry the Uzumaki carrier instead of his older sister was an insult of the highest degree. Rei suspected that it was Kushina herself who killed his late family member and when that masked man came he was all too happy to aid in his attack of Konoha.

Downing his wine in a swift motion, he then threw it to the wall where it shattered in a thousand pieces. The damable brat denied him his right to have those two my his side! Rei cursed the name Uzumaki with spit flying from his mouth. The brat was not even dead and his spies told him that the third was on his way to his home to investigate. Could no one even finished an easy mission of an S rank pay but an A rank?

"Was that necessary?" A voice asked from the shadows of the room.

Rei growled. "Your plan failed to cripple or end the brat failed and the third is on his way here. I thought that your organization was the best in the elemental nations. The conflict would have allowed your group in identifying jinchuuriki and how strong they were if a war started and I gained the death of the son of my most hated aderary along with the two girls. After having them broken of course, kunichi once broken are as helpless as the filthy commoners."

Stepping into the light with clear disdain and anger in her eyes the woman sneered. "If you weren't such an important part of our network in the land of fire I would have you killed."

"Tsk. I suppose you can arrange something to derail the hokage?" The kunichi nodded, in her mind she wondered how Pain could stand for this war mad being being a part of the organizations source of funding. "Out with it then."

'Oh how I wish I could kill him right now.' "Last I heard there's an slaver banit group that has several A ranked shinobi, perhaps if they were to encounter the Hokage and his ANBU both would be taken care of."

Rei was all teeth at the plan. "And the Iwa ninjas?"

"Been taking care of."

...

Hestia frowned as she listened into the conversation between Shibatai and the Akatsuki woman though the fireplace. A part of her wanted to act, ending their lives so that her nieces would not be hurt by the death of the village leader. But another part of her hoped that the plan would work as the death of the third Hokage would no doubt be a blow to the boy, weakening him and most likely make him to lash out in his pain. Hestia hated the jinchuuriki, they were too painful of reminded of her greatest failure as a goddess and the pain of having certain beings being used as tools of war made her blood boil.

With a sigh she turned her attention back to her nephew who was shifting from one foot to the other. "You know for a mail nin you're not acting the part Hermes."

The god of messengers rolled his eyes. "You would be angsty too if your half brother was the god of truth. Apollo has been wondering what has got his sisters' attention and has been consulting Zap happy."

"... I'll take care of my brother easily, my sister has been wanting to be pampered and I know just the thing to get him to spice their marriage up and keep him from listening to Apollo for a while. As for your sibling…. It would be problematic if his Oracle went missing from the camp."

Hermes rubbed his head. "You know that is not easy even for myself right? The last god who did do anything to the Oracle was Hades…"

Heat a was annoyed with her nephew. "Your point?"

"How about something that would get his attention for the next several months that no one will question? In fact, I know of a guy whose books sunshine wants signed, all I'd them. If I got him the copies he should be in his temple more."

Hestia considered Hermes plan before nodding, Apollo loved his literature and she knew who Hermes was talking about. If there was a person who she disliked, not hate, more than the the boy then it was the toad sage. She could not wait to have him over for dinner and a show. The meal? Roasted…

Hermes shivered as his aunt began to crackle in the way women got and knew how to get revenge. Moving away slowly the god left the house as fast as he could without incurring any notice.

That was the plan.

Three ANBU ninja took note of the sand haired mail nin leaving lady Hearth's house with narrowed eyes. Sticking to the shadows the group split with one of the ninja racing away for reinforcements while his comrades followed the man with caution. The man was an anomaly that could be connected to the disappearance of the Uzumaki container. With the exams beginning in several weeks it was better to be safe than sorry. Leaping over an alleyway and into training ground 12, the duo were sidelined by… a giant ram on fire.

"You know it's not nice following someone." eyes widening the woman took her sword and slashed to her left as she ducked under a blade from their target. "I'll have to educate you about harming travelers."

"Raiton: Furasshu-hō!" Her partner unleashed a ball of lighting at her attacker whose only response to the attack was to move his head out of the way. Eyes wide he almost missed several needles aimed for her junk, legs and arms. Flipping his sword into a reverse grip Hermes sliced off the ANBU's mask before kneeing her in the gut. Grasping her hair he then jerked her head up and smashed the hilt of his sword into her face knocking her out. 'That's one.'

Seeing his partner being dispatched so quickly made the last Konoha nin nervous and he hesitated for a split second.

He did not see the attack that killed him.

"Aww man, George did you half to kill him?"

"Shove it Martha! At least you didn't have to pretend to be the handle for his postal bag this time!"

Hermes rolled his eyes as his snakes on his symbol of power bickered back and forth. Reaching out he grasped the soul of the man ninja to take to the underworld. Thanos was on vacation after a failed prank Hermes attempted on the death god ruined his uncle and half sisters wedding anniversary. Hermes shivered as even his father wasn't able to spare him from the duos wrath. Ten years of work of collecting souls to pay for the damages, no cost mail service for those who were caught up in his prank, and worse of all, he had to listen to the ranting of his mother for over an hour. His mother wasn't so bad if it was only words but no, she took away his powers and had him be her person attendant for her tea party for young ladies while being in a form of a twelve year old.

'Not doing that again,' Hermes shivered at the memory of all those mothers pinching his cheeks along with being forced to play dress up.

Rolling his eyes at the struggling soul he vaporized the body before altering the memory of the woman who followed him into one of following a traitor and fallen unconscious after killing him instead of a mail ninja. He had checked, the man whom he killed was a missing nin from Suna that worked for the Akatsuki.

Snapping his fingers he dissolved into nothingness with the soul to the underworld, his business finished with no one the wiser.


...With the fall of the platoons at the Iron pass between Iwa and Konoha, the village of stone had unpredictable access to the mainstage farming community of the land of fire as well as a direct route to both the capital and mines. While the Jounin know as Minato did his historic victory of a battalion of Iwa shinobi, it was the actions of Kushina Uzumaki that shifted the war back in favor of our allies. Although not a member of our proud village, Kushina was a woman whom I must decree would have been a welcome member had it not been for the alliance between Konoha and her fallen home.

Using her bloodline and skills alongside the nine tailed beast chakra, Kushina was able to fend off the kage and his elite guards in the battle now known as the demon's playground. Records are hard to come by but her actions resulted in the saving of the capital from being sacked in the surprise raid by the Iwa nin while the bulk of their attack force was at the fortress of Rajii, the largest mining firm in the land at the time. Without her actions, Iwa may have won the war even with Minato's jutsu against them.

See chapter 37 for an account of the battle.

While the thrice damned pervert toad sage was the sensei of the man who would become the fourth Hokage, it was his love of his life Kushina who was the real power behind the man. From providing him inspiration what are the jutsu known as the Rasengan to the techniques that earned him the name the yellow flash, in my opinion ahead should have become the first Hokage woman.

Rumors from Konoha are fraught with contrary facts of why as she was a loyal and powerful ninja, but many point to the man Danzo and the Shibatai family influencing the dying ruler of the land that as a foreign country member, Kushina could use the village hidden in the leaves to take revenge on those who destroyed her home, prolonging the war instead of ending it.

Naruto placed the book he was reading to the side of his bed and stared out the window. His mother, if what he read to be true and from the conversations he had with the leader of the village he was in, was a powerful kunoichi and the last holder of the nine tails. Clenching his fists Naruto made a vow that he would surpasses mother and father in skills. Something that made several of the nurses giggle and wish him luck. Already he was working on the Rasengan with aid from the old lady who was at the wedding of his parents named something Senju. The only reason she said she was helping him was not because she was a fellow leaf nin, but because she was a fan of the anti pervert league and had heard of the actions against the sell of the ichi ichi series.

"Oi brat, how was the reading?"

Naruto smiled as the lady came in and look at her face, not paying attention to her large chest in the slightest. "It was awesome! My parents were amazing and…"

Tsunade waved her hand at the boy. "No need to explain Naruto, your folks were good friends of mine. While my teammate may have help your father, your mother was like a daughter to me. Now, show me how far you have gotten with the control exercises I gave you."

Naruto grinned and raised his hand. Concentrating he summoned his chakra and formed a glowing orb and slowly increased in size. Tsunade nodded in approval of his actions. When she had come in on the behalf of the village elder she was irritated at first but on discovering it was Naruto she let her feeling of her friendship with Kushina overcome her fear of blood to help him.

It helped that he was polite, cute a member of the anti pervert league, cute… shivering she hoped that he did not find that she found him even cute after what assistant did. His reaction to being called cute made her want to gobble him up in a hug and kisses.

'I'm not a MLF or cougar, but he making it hard.' She thought as she scanned his body. "Are you ready to go home gaki? I am gonna have to give you a clean bill of health and dealing with our hosts has gotten old."

"I resent that remark," Ezdeath muttered as she walked in. Walking to his bed pass Tsunade, Ezdeath sat next to Naruto before laying down with one leg crossing his. "You don't think I'm old do you Naruto?"

"Not at all Ez-chan." Ezdeath was one of the first people who chatted with him, her mother was the writer of the book he was reading and for some reason was dead set on having him call her Ez-chan instead of her name. "Can you get off me?"

"No, I want to stay like this for… a while." Yawning, Ezdeath fell asleep with Tsunade laughing at her godson's predicament of becoming a teddy bear. Leaving the room she made a note to inform their hosts of her plan to escort Naruto back to Konoha in the morning... After she took on a quick detour.

After all, Wave was selling a rare case of wine from the Waring era.
