(And here's my next update.)
After a long travel, the group was back in Konoha. The civilians and ninja were shocked and surprised to see the remaining Sannin of the village and granddaughter of the Shodaime set foot in the village again.
They went to the administration building where Sarutobi was in his office minding his own business until there was a knock at the door, "Come in."
The door opened and Naruto, Jiraiya, and the Chan gang entered, "We're back Jiji, and we're all proud to say that the mission was a complete success." Naruto explained.
Sarutobi watched as his third and final student entered the room with the apprentice she took along with her many years ago. "Tsunade." He got up from his desk.
"It's been a long time, sensei," Tsunade began as they hugged, "You seem to be holding up well."
"I could use some of your self medical jutsu." Sarutobi replied about how he wished he could still look young.
"You'll outlive us all Sarutobi-sensei. You're too stubborn to die." Tsunade joked and Naruto and Jade laughed.
"Now then the inauguration should take place in two days." Sarutobi explained.
"I'll be ready for that." Tsunade answered.
"Well now that that's cleared up we better hurry and check on Sasuke." Naruto said.
"Let's hope he still has some of his mind left to be healed." Jade put in.
"You and me both." Naruto added.
"Well then let's go. I can't wait to see how the hospital staff's been handling things without me." Tsunade said as they headed off.
Soon they entered the hospital where the entire staff was surprised and honored to see Tsunade back. They then headed for the room of Sasuke to find Sakura was already there.
"Sakura!" Naruto called.
"Oh Naruto."
"Good news, we found someone to help Sasuke."
"Who's that?" the Pinkette asked.
"Behold." Naruto stepped aside as Tsunade entered the room surprising Sakura.
'She's beautiful.' Sakura thought in admiration.
"So this is the patient?" Tsunade asked looking down at Sasuke.
"Um, yes ma'am." Sakura replied.
"Well this should be easy." Tsunade said as she used her healing jutsu on Sasuke.
"Wow she's got the magic touch." Jade said.
After the procedure, Sasuke started moaning until his eyes opened looking glazed, :Sasuke." Naruto smiled.
Sasuke slowly sat up and Sakura threw her arms around him and cried, "Sasuke!"
"Ok Sasuke's done, now for sensei." Naruto said as they left for another room.
After the treatment Kakashi was sitting up in his bed looking drowsy as Tsunade sighed, "Honestly Kakashi I expected more from a ninja like you."
Kakashi looked down in guilt, "My apologies Lady Tsunade."
"Now everything's taken care of let's grab some lunch, Jade." Naruto said as the two left.
As the two walked through the village, Naruto and Jade watched seeing the village was just about nearly restored, "With Tsunade leading this village, guarantee it'll be better than before." Jade said.
"I know," Naruto agreed until he spotted Tenten, Hinata, and Ino, "Hey girls!"
Hearing the call they turned seeing Naruto, "Naruto!" the three called as they went over to him and Jade.
"Where've you been? We haven't seen you in days." Tenten said.
"Sorry but I was out on a mission with Ero-Sennin."
"Ero-sennin?" Hinata asked.
"Jiraiya." Naruto explained.
"Jiraiya of the legendary Sannin?" Tenten asked.
"One and the same." The blonde replied.
"So what were you doing with him on this mission?" Ino asked curiously.
"We went to search for the new Hokage, Lady Tsunade." Jade answered for Naruto.
At the very mention of that name Tenten's eyes widened and spoke, "Did you just say Lady Tsunade?"
"Uh yeah." Jade answered.
Suddenly Tenten let out a fan squeal, "Lady Tsunade the only female among the legendary Sannin, widely known for her skill in medical jutsu and incredible strength, among other things." Tenten added thinking about Tsunade's beauty and well proportioned physique.
"And she's our new Hokage?" Hinata asked.
"That's right." Naruto nodded.
"Well how about that for the first time in years our village is finally getting a female for a Hokage." Ino added.
"About time to." Tenten agreed.
"Say girls Jade and I were about to grab a bite. You wanna join us?" Naruto offered.
"Really?" Ino asked.
"Well sure we'd love to." Tenten added.
"Um we wouldn't be imposing would we?" Hinata looked at Jade.
"Nah, I could use this time to get to know you gals." Jade said.
"All right then." Hinata smiled seeing it was ok.
"Well then come on." Naruto said as they went off.
Soon they were having ramen at Ichiraku as Teuchi watched them, "So we got us a new Hokage now, that's great." The old man smiled.
"Oh yeah and guarantee Lady Tsunade will be just what the village needs to pull us out of the pits that invasion left us in." Naruto replied.
"But still our village did lose a lot of ninja in that war. I guess this means we'll be assigned extra missions." Tenten said.
"Probably with other ninja teams too." Ino added.
"Well if that's the case I'm hoping I get to go out on a mission with one of you." Naruto smiled getting them blushing.
'A mission with Naruto?' Hinata thought while blushing at the possibility.
"And I may just have to join the ninja ranks myself. After all you guys could use some new arms." Jade added.
"You know Jackie wouldn't approve." Naruto warned her.
"Hey if Tsunade makes him a ninja too, then she'd have to make me one."
"Well if you were I'd be glad, we could use another kunoichi in our group." Ino said.
"And seeing how you helped defend our village you definitely have the skills." Tenten added.
"Thanks." Jade smiled.
Later that day, everyone in the village was gathered around the administration building, including the Chans, Black, Tohru, Hak Foo, Ratso, Finn, and Chow. On top of the building were Sarutobi, his teammates, Jiraiya, Shizune, and Tsunade. They watched as Sarutobi brought Tsunade forward and handed her the Kage hat. Tsunade announced she'd protect the village with her life and everyone broke out in cheers and applause.
The very next morning at the Namikaze mansion, Naruto was asleep in his bed until the sound of tapping was on his sliding door to his balcony. Naruto groaned and got out of bed grabbing a black and red robe and put it on. He stepped out to his balcony where two Anbu presented himself.
"Don't you Anbu know what time it is?" Naruto asked seeing how early it was.
"Sorry Naruto, but the Hokage and the council request your presence immediately." One Anbu explained.
"All right I'll be there," Naruto yawned. The Anbu took off while Naruto rubbed his eyes and thought, 'Seems the council's finally ready to use my family against me.'
'So what do you intend to do about it Naruto?' Shendu thought.
'By letting them know they can't just walk all over me after all the hell they put me through in the past.'
'And what if one were to try and kill you?' Kurama thought.
'How can they when I have the power of immortality? Anyway they won't unless I kill them first.' Naruto went to his bathroom to shower and change before heading off to see the Hokage and council.
At the administration building, inside one of the rooms was the clan heads on one side of the room with the civilian council on the opposite side, and between them was Tsunade with Jiraiya, and Sarutobi at her side for support while the Sandaime's old teammates Koharu and Homura were on another side with Danzo Shimura of the ROOT Faction of Anbu. They looked at the door as Naruto opened in and walked inside. When he reached them he looked up and yawned, "This better be important I'm not a morning person."
"Watch your tone here boy." Danzo scolded him.
"You're the one's that should watch it." Naruto shot back.
"All right, let's just get this over with." Tsunade wanted to end this quickly for not just herself but Naruto as well.
"So what's buzz?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto, in light of the events the village discovering you are the last of the Namikaze clan and blood heir to Minato Namikaze the Yondaime Hokage there are matters to it that must be dealt with." Homura explained.
"Such as?" Naruto asked playing along.
"Being the last of the Namikaze clan you are entitled to the Clan Restoration Acts allowing you to marry more than one bride therefore repopulating the Namikaze clan will go by faster." Koharu explained.
"Really? I never would've guessed!" Naruto answered in sarcasm which went unnoticed by the council except for Tsunade, Sarutobi, and the clan heads.
"Yes. While you and Jiraiya were on your mission to find Tsunade we've taken the liberty of selecting various women to become betrothed to you." Homura said extending the files to Naruto and he looked at all of them.
"These all seem to be just female civilians."
"Yes. Though they are civilians they were all academy students from your same class." Homura answered.
Naruto had squinted his eyes and thought, 'Yeah from my class all right. The same little banshees who'd throw themselves at Sasuke and claim I would never amount to anything,' He turned to the council and spoke, "These ladies… I decline." He answered as his hand burned with combustion and burned all the files.
This got outrage from the older council and civilians while the clan heads remained neutral as Danzo spoke, "What do you mean you decline?"
"I decline these choices, plain and simple." Naruto answered.
"You cannot do that!" Koharu ordered.
"Actually he can," Tsunade voiced up, "The law clearly states that if one is under the right for the CRA then they are allowed to choose who they want to marry them should they agree to the terms."
"Then the boys out of luck, who would willingly agree to marry him?" Danzo said in a superior tone.
Tsunade and Sarutobi frowned at his claim wanting to deck him until Naruto spoke up, "Don't talk like I'm not in the room you old hawk!" Danzo frowned, "As it so happens I have some choices in mind. Who I would be willing to bet my family fortune they would accept me."
"Preposterous." Danzo replied.
"You doubt my words? Then I'll prove it. Three of them happen to be the daughters of two of Konoha clans, one being Ino Yamanaka of the Yamanaka clan." Naruto motioned to Ino's father Inoichi who nodded in approval, "Tenten of Team Guy," Tenten's father Zane nodded in approval, "And finally Hinata Hyuga of the Hyuga clan." He motioned to Hiashi who cracked a smile before nodding in approval.
"Should our daughters accept his proposal all three of our families will be in agreement of the arrangement." Hiashi explained on behalf of himself, Inoichi, and Zane.
"Three is still not enough, so therefore…" Danzo continued until Naruto halted him.
"If you would be so kind and let me finish I would finish!"
"Go on Naruto." Tsunade allowed him knowing what else he has to say.
"Thank you Tsunade-sama," Naruto replied, "As I was saying. I still have more choices for wives. My fourth being a new friend I have made during my training for the Chunin finals. Her name is Jade Chan."
"You choose to marry an outsider of the village? An outsider could never be one of us!" a male civilian member of the council shouted but suddenly found Naruto grabbing him by the throat ready to crush him.
"One more word like that out of you, and I will crush your lungs!" Naruto threatened him.
This scared the civilians into submission and decided to keep their mouths shut unless they were provoked again, "I have also gotten to know this Jade Chan and her family. They are very nice people and would never betray us, plus they have strength and knowledge that would make our village better than it used to be." Sarutobi explained.
Before the council could once again bitch Naruto continued, "And now I have two more wives in waiting one being Princess Shizuka from the Nadeshiko village provided I get to know her more while she visits here and should we work out she will eventually move here. Next I've got Temari from Suna. After the invasion I with the help of Jiraiya-sama, and my mentor Uncle we've corrected their Jinchuriki's seal, and as a thank you Temari agreed to become my bride to help re-strengthen the bond between our villages."
"And with that it makes six." Tsunade said.
"And granted that none of us can officially marry until the age of sixteen we have three years to prepare. However should anything happen that interferes in our marriage with either of the ladies I have named off I will make sure those who intervene will suffer!" Naruto finished which made the civilians shirk back in fear.
Danzo frowned with one eye before calling out, "Root, assemble!" Bursting through the roof of the room was a dozen Root Anbu carrying weapons.
"Danzo what is the meaning of this?" Sarutobi demanded while the citizen council cowered.
"I can no longer sit by and watch this Kyubi brat make a mockery of us." Danzo growled.
"Is that all I am to you?" Naruto asked, "You think I'm just some vessel for a demon I never asked for to be put in me? Well you Danzo are scum!" Danzo frowned at him as he continued, "And besides your pitiful ninja are nothing compared to mine." He snapped his fingers summoning the ninja and razor Shadowkhan.
"Attack!" the old man and young man ordered.
But the Root Anbu stood no chance against the Shadowkhan, "My boys didn't even work up a sweat against your emotionless flunkies." Naruto crossed his arms.
Danzo shook in anger before unsheathing a sword that was hidden in his cane, "I'll kill you demon!" he ran to Naruto but suddenly found himself floating in mid air courtesy of Naruto's levitation.
"Take his weapon," Naruto ordered one Shadowkhan ninja as he took the sword from Danzo, "Now then Danzo, not only are you guilty of countless treason against the village from your past exploits in trying to overthrow the Sandaime for Hokage, but for attempting to assassinate me here and now, and bringing fear and strife into Amegakure when you allied with Hanzo of the Salamander. Our village would be better off if you were taken out of the picture."
"You cannot do this to me I'm a member of the council!" Danzo demanded.
"How wrong you are Danzo," Tsunade injected, "Because you've gone behind the backs of Konoha so many times with your lies and methods you are considered a traitor among Konoha ninja. And the evidence sensei's been collecting over the years proves it."
"Don't worry I'll spare you the pain of living in this world with your humiliation," Naruto said, "You can die like the rat you are!" at the sound of 'rat' Naruto held his palm zapping Danzo turning him into a gray rat with a missing eye and paw.
"A rat?" a council member gasped.
"How'd he do that?"
"Anybody up for roasted rat?" Naruto's palm suddenly emitted combustion on the screaming rodent turning it to ash, "Clean up!" He ordered and a Shadowkhan swept the ashes into a dustpan and dumped it in the garbage before the rest of them vanished.
"Let this be a reminder to all those who attempt to assassinate me or meddle in my family business. Mess with me and you're only doing yourself harm," Naruto said, "Now then before anymore interruptions any clan wishing to lend mine some support against any future usurp attempts speak now."
Soon the members of the clan heads started voicing their support to Naruto. Such clans being the Sarutobi clan, Hyuga, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Inuzuka, Aburame, Tsunade being the last of the Senju, and even Tenten's dad not being an official clan still lent his family's support to Naruto.
"And furthermore, as of today the responsibilities of the civilian council in handling civilian affairs will be transferred to another." Tsunade added.
"What, to who?" a woman asked.
"To me," A voice said as Captain Black entered, "I Captain Augustus Black, hereby accept the responsibilities of overseeing civilian affairs in this village."
The council sighed knowing they were defeated and could no longer meddle in any more affairs that no longer concerned them, "Now if that's settled can I go back to bed, I'm expecting company today at noon."
"Of course Naruto." Tsunade said as Naruto bowed his head in respect and left the room.
After another few hours of sleep Naruto was finally up and about preparing for the arrival of his guests. Soon Naruto was in his family dojo surrounded by Jade, Tenten, Hinata, Ino, Temari, and Shizuka.
"I'm pleased to see all of you could come," Naruto motioned to the six, "I've called you all here for two reasons, one is to discuss about what I said at the Chunin Exam stadium before the invasion broke out."
"You said the Yondaime Hokage was your father, and that the Kyubi was sealed inside you." Hinata said.
"That's right." Naruto nodded.
"And you meant that?" Ino asked.
"Yes Ino, every word I said to Neji is all true. I am the last living descendant of Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki."
"And about the villagers, what they did because they thought…" Shizuka started as she, Hinata, Ino, and Tenten started shedding tears while Temari and Jade sniffled.
"Uh-huh they thought I was the demon itself in human form and looked to me as a scapegoat for them to take their frustration and anger out on for those they lost in that battle."
"Naruto." Hinata's eyes watered.
"For you to have endured that kind of treatment since birth..." Ino's eyes were the same as the others.
"And still able to smile." Tenten finished.
"Gaara was never capable of that with his treatment." Temari added.
"You are a man among shinobi." Shizuka put in.
"Oh girls." Naruto smiled until he found himself embraced all around by Hinata, Ino, Tenten, and Shizuka, while Jade and Temari comforted him as well being calmer.
"I don't care what the civilians said about you. You're still Naruto as you've always been and as you always will be." Hinata cried onto his shoulder.
"I will never judge you or anyone else like you ever again." Ino added holding onto his other shoulder.
"I'm pleased to hear that," Naruto began, "And I'm pleased at the rest of you which brings us to the second reason brought you all here. Hinata, Tenten, Temari, Jade, Shizuka, and Ino, how would you ladies love to help me restore the Namikaze clan to its glory?"
"Restore your clan?" Ino asked.
"Naruto are you asking us…" Hinata gasped.
"Indeed I am. Would you ladies become my brides?"
"Your brides?" Tenten gasped.
"Yes. You've all proven yourselves that you care about me even though I am a Jinchuriki. You're all honest and loving and would be willing to fight by my side if ever a reason to. But I shall accept each of your choices no matter what you choose."
Tenten smiled as did the rest of them, "Well Naruto. I sure would love to marry a strong man who'd devote his life to protecting not only his village but his family as well." She answered.
"So would I. You've proven the last month that you're more of a man than I gave you credit for." Ino added.
"You helped encourage me to become stronger Naruto. I would love to be your bride." Hinata blushed but made sure she wouldn't faint.
"You've given my brother back to me Naruto. Now I feel my sibs and I are a real family, thanks to you. And now I wish to help you make a family as well." Temari put in.
Shizuka spoke, "When I saw you perform at the prelims and the finals I fell in love first at your strength and good looks. And seeing just how much you care about not only us but the people around you. Naruto we would make both our villages proud if we were to wed."
The five turned to Jade who smirked, "Well Naruto's been more of a man than any other boy I've ever met in my life. And I like them strong and good looking. Plus I like seeing my Uncle Jackie's reaction. So I'm with ya."
"Thanks girls. And I should also warn you the demon sealed inside me, has a name and its Kurama."
"Kurama?" the kunoichi asked.
"Yes, and I should say now he's not the only demon living inside me."
"He's not?" Temari asked.
"No. The second demon I have inside me is the one who blessed me with my special abilities. I'd be willing to introduce you to him if it's alright with you."
"Well it's only right." Ino admitted.
"Don't worry girls. I know this other demon, he used to be a hard case but I guess time in Naruto has mellowed him out." Jade assured them.
Naruto's eyes suddenly turned red as Shendu spoke, "Greetings kunoichi, I am Lord Shendu Demon Sorcerer of Fire."
"Shendu?" Temari asked.
"Demon Sorcerer?" Shizuka asked.
"Wait a minute. I recognize that voice. It was you who talk to the Sound ninja into joining you." Tenten remembered.
"And it was you who threatened Neji." Hinata added.
"Correct it was me. I do apologize if I came on a little strong but even I had to agree with Naruto to an extent your cousin was out of line."
"Well no harm done." Hinata replied.
"So you're the source of Naruto's special abilities?" Ino asked.
"That is correct dear child."
"But how?" Shizuka asked.
"Well since you're all so interested I'll tell you of how I came to be where I am today." The demon told the girls everything from the start of his reign to his battles with the Chans, up until Naruto became his new vessel.
"Whoa." Tenten gasped.
"Amazing." Ino added.
"Now you know what I had to deal with." Jade said.
"It's must be cramped in your mind having those two demons inside you." Temari said to Naruto who got back in control.
"It's not so bad. I've gotten used to it actually," Naruto replied, "But I just hope it won't be a problem with you girls since Shendu is capable of overshadowing my body."
"Well so long as he doesn't do it while we're doing something personal." Tenten said.
"Would personal include making out?" Naruto smirked until Tenten playfully bopped him on the head.
"You joker." She giggled.
Naruto and the girls chuckled until the door opened, "May I join you?" Tsunade walked in surprising the kunoichi.
"Lady Tsunade." Tenten gasped.
"Ah right on time." Naruto stood up.
"Time for what?" Hinata asked.
"I have a little procedure in store for our Hokage." Naruto went to a desk and pulled out some ink and a brush.
"Now you're sure this will restore my youth?" Tsunade asked while removing her jacket.
"I guarantee it," Naruto replied as he started drawing a circular seal on the floor adding some trigrams and symbols, "Ok Grandma Tsunade sit in the seal." He ordered and she got into the seal sitting.
"What now?" she asked.
"Well I kinda need you to drop the jutsu you have on yourself and expose your real form."
"WHAT?" she shouted.
"It's all part of the procedure, don't worry I won't crack jokes," Naruto said before mumbling, "Out loud."
Tsunade sighed as she looked at the girls, "Don't look you'll be horrified."
"I don't care what you really look like, Lady Tsunade." Tenten said.
"Yeah besides it'll only last for a minute." Jade added.
"All right then." Tsunade said releasing her jutsu and her body started growing wrinkles, and her skin got darker, while her breasts started sagging.
"Good now hold still while I apply the seals," Naruto dipped the brush into the ink and started drawing up some symbols on Tsunade's forehead, her arms, but hesitated when he looked down and her sagging mammaries, "Please don't crush me for…"
"Do what you need to do." She replied.
Naruto started drawing up the symbols on her breasts making her giggle and shake, "Try and remain still." He ordered.
"Sorry but that tickles."
Naruto sighed as he continued drawing until he finished the last seal before setting his brush and ink down and pulled out his blowfish and lizard mediums, "Now for the chant. Word of warning you may start feeling a strange sensation in your body."
"I'm ready." Tsunade replied.
Naruto started his chanting as the seal Tsunade was in started glowing as were the markings on her body. The girls watched as the spell was taking affects and Tsunade's skin started returning to its usual clear color as well as her hair, and her breasts became firm and perky again. When the spell was finished the symbols on her body vanished.
"Well Grandma, how do you feel?" Naruto asked.
Tsunade stood up looking at herself and moved around a bit, "I-I feel marvelous. My body feels younger for real and not because of jutsu."
"That's because the spell was a success." Naruto smiled until he found himself pulled into a tight embrace by Tsunade smothering him into her truly round, big, voluptuous breasts.
"Naruto you're a genius! Oh thank you so much! You have no idea how much this really means to me!" she cheered while pressing Naruto's face into her breasts while he waved his arms around.
The six younger girls watched wide eyed at what was going on until Hinata spoke up, "Um Lady Tsunade, I think you're smothering him."
Tsunade snapping out of her happy frenzy looked down at her chest seeing exactly what she was doing and pulled Naruto up who looked dazed and smiling pervertedly, "Oh Naruto I am so sorry I hope I didn't suffocate you."
"Don't worry it's all good." Naruto said still in a daze.
After witnessing what the Hokage did, Shizuka looked down at her own busty chest and smirked while thinking, 'Not a bad idea.'
When nighttime came Naruto still had his six future brides, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, The Chans, Captain Black, Tohru, Hak Foo, Ratso, Finn, and Chow in his bedroom as Naruto had finished drawing up a seal on the floor.
"What exactly are you planning Naruto?" Jiraiya asked.
"I've been studying up on the seal dad used to imprison Kurama inside me, and I think I may have found something that all of you will need to see." The blonde explained.
"Even us?" Ratso asked motioning to himself, Finn, and Chow.
"Even you guys."
"I look forward to what you have to show us Naruto. It may very well be something extraordinary." Uncle said.
"And it will be sensei." Naruto said as he used his blowfish and barracuda mediums and chanted activating the seal. In a flash of green light the whole group found themselves inside Naruto's subconscious.
"Oh yuck." Finn pulled his foot out of a puddle.
"Is this a sewer?" Chow asked.
"It doesn't smell like one." Ratso noticed.
"Because it's not. Welcome to my subconscious." Naruto said as Kurama's cage appeared.
"Welcome humans I am Kurama the Kyubi no Kitsune." The fox bowed his head.
"Whoa, that's one big animal." Ratso said.
"Cool." Jade said.
"So where's Shendu?" Black asked as the dragon spirit flew up from the floor.
"Right here."
"What exactly are you going to be doing to your seal, Naruto?" Jiraiya asked.
"Just a little tweaking, and if my theory is correct we'll all be in for a surprise," Naruto approached the seal tag on the cage. He started drawing a symbol on it before pulling out his blowfish again and chanted, "Yu Mo Gwai Gui Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gwai Gui Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gwai Gui Fai Di Zao!" suddenly a green beam emitted from his medium hitting the seal on the cage activating the additional written symbols he placed on it that started glowing and the whole mindscape lit up.
"What's happening?" Viper asked.
"I think we're about to find out." Tenten said.
Suddenly two beams of light shot out of the seal and flew around the area before they touched down and suddenly took the form of two people. But these people weren't just anybody. They were in fact Minato Namikaze the Yondaime Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto's parents.
"Whoa." Jade gasped.
"It can't be." Kakashi and Jiraiya gasped.
Naruto approached them, "Dad."
Minato smiled, "Hey son."
Naruto turned to Kushina, "Mom?"
"Yes sweetie it's me."
Naruto's eyes swelled up with tears before running forward into his parents embrace wrapping his arms around both of them, "I knew it, I just knew you'd be here, this whole time."
Kushina smiled, "Yes Naruto we've both been here since that day."
"Though this isn't your first time seeing me," Minato said, "When I sealed Kurama inside you half my soul was offered to the Shinigami, while the rest of me was sealed off here. I watched everything from your eyes even the part where half my mind fought along side you against Orochimaru."
"Minato?" Jiraiya asked.
"Sensei?" Kakashi gasped.
The two looked over, "Hey sensei, Kakashi, you're both looking well." Minato said.
"Who're they?" Chow asked.
"That man is Minato Namikaze the villages Yondaime Hokage," Tsunade explained, "And that woman is Kushina Uzumaki his wife. They're Naruto's parents."
"Whoa. Gnarly." Finn gasped.
"Minato, I don't believe it. You sealed off part of yourself and Kushina in the seal you put on Naruto that night?" Jiraiya asked.
"That's right sensei. This way Kushina and I would still watch over Naruto from inside his mind. I had hoped one day Naruto would activate the seal and allow us to take form. Though I never counted on it would happen like this." The Yondaime admitted.
"We're so proud of you Naruto." Kushina smiled.
"Come on you gotta meet everyone," Naruto brought them over, "I'm sure you've noticed them through my eyes, but let me give you all a proper greeting. Mom and dad I'm sure you know Kakashi-sensei, Grandma Tsunade, and Ero-sennin."
"Naruto!" Jiraiya groaned as Minato and Kushina chuckled.
"Ero-sennin, why didn't I think of that?" Kushina chuckled.
"And meet my other friends Tenten, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, Sabaku no Temari, and Shizuka."
"So Hiashi and Inoichi had daughters huh, well it's a good thing they did otherwise Naruto wouldn't have proposed." Minato joked making Hinata blush until Kushina bopped her husbands head.
"Now Minato, there'll be none of that in front of our son's future fiancés."
"Yes sweetie." Minato groaned.
"And this is the Chan family, Jackie, Uncle, Viper, and Jade."
"Nice to meet you." Minato shook Jackie's hand.
"Likewise Minato. We've read everything about your accomplishments in your family journal." Jackie explained.
"Yeah. You sure did a lot even before you became Hokage." Viper added.
"That's my Minato for ya." Kushina smiled.
"Wow you're beautiful, Kushina." Jade said.
"Why thank you Jade. And I know you'll become beautiful as I am in a few years." Kushina smiled.
"Minato Namikaze, I have never seen one with such a fine knowledge of seal making since myself. For that I commend you." Uncle honored him.
"Thanks, uh Uncle."
"And this is Tohru, Hak Foo, Captain Black, Finn, Chow, and Ratso."
"I am honored to meet you, Yondaime-sama." Tohru bowed his head.
"No need for formality now." Minato said.
Finn eyed Kushina, "Wow why couldn't I have met someone as bodacious like you?"
"Oh Finn you're embarrassing me." Kushina blushed.
"So you mean you've watched everything from Naruto's mind?" Black asked.
"That's right ever since I sealed Kurama inside him. We've watched our boy grow up and all the hardships he endured." Minato answered.
"Even the missions he undertook." Kushina added.
"So you mean you saw?" Kakashi asked.
"That's right Kakashi. You went toe to toe with a member of the seven swordsmen. That's very impressive." Minato admitted.
"I did what I could to protect my squad."
"And you did well."
Kushina motioned to the girls, "So you are the ones my little boy will be marrying in the future right?"
"Hai. At least we hope so." Hinata said.
"Well I admit my son has chosen some perfect candidates." Kushina said.
"Yeah, especially the Nadeshiko girl." Minato smirked until Kushina glared at him making him sweat in fright.
Kushina turned to Shendu's spirit, "And you Shendu, thank you for helping our boy become stronger."
"Please do not mention it." Shendu looked away.
Kushina approached, "I'm serious. I mean if it weren't for you who knows how our son would've ended up." She rubbed the back of his head. Even though he was a spirit inside the mindscape he was able to be felt.
"Just what're… you… Mm, a little more behind my right side." He sighed in enjoyment like he was a kitty being scratched behind the ears.
As Kushina continued the Chans watched looking weirded out, "We-ird." Jade said.
"So now that you've been revealed sensei, what's going to happen now?" Kakashi asked.
"Well now that me and Kushina have been unleashed from the seal we can continue watching over Naruto through his mindscape, and when he needs someone else besides Shendu, or Kurama to talk to he can now talk to us as well."
"Really?" Naruto asked.
"Yes Naruto. It's time your father and I started being parents as we should've been years ago." Kushina answered.
"Oh mom!" Naruto embraced his mother crying.
Kushina smiled stroking her sons back, "It's ok sweetie. Mommy's here. Mommy will always be here for you."
Minato stood by his wife and son, comforting both of them. Off to the side the group smiled at the sight. Chow looked seeing Ratso shedding some tears, "Are you crying?"
"Sorry but isn't family such a beautiful thing?" Ratso asked.
"Sure is." Jade smiled as she and the girls watched Naruto with his parents.
"So how do we get out of here?" Finn asked.
Meanwhile over by the deserted Uchiha compound, Sasuke was in his room brooding while thinking, 'How does Naruto keep getting stronger and stronger while I remain the same? It's got to be those special abilities of his. If I can get them from him, I'll crush Itachi! But it's hopeless to try and get that kind of power.'
Suddenly materializing before him in blue and black smoke was a rolled up scroll, "What's this?" Sasuke asked as he unraveled it reading the message that was written in black and blue glowing letters.
'Dear avenger, I've learned of your recent encounters and thought I should write you this now. I know you seek power to destroy the one who has done you wrong. And I can help you acquire the power you seek from the one you are jealous of. Gather the ingredients listed on the back and mix them together. Doing so will give you the ability to usurp the power you desire. Sincerely the Dark Chi Master.'
Sasuke turned the scroll over to see what the list was but found nothing listed until the words just magically appeared, "What?" he asked looking over it, "Is this for real?"
(And there we go.)
