Disclaimer: I own neither AvP nor Naruto.
A/N:
This is my little gift fo Singapore's 44th National Day!
Leaf Ranger: True it seems after her confession, she completely falls off the radar.
Hektols: For this fic I needed Naruto to be hated to get him him forced out of the village and the easiest way is to make the Council (at least part of it) corrupt and/or self-serving and usr Naruto as a scape-goat and way to undermind Tsunade or keep her under control. But if you're talking cannon I don't think Naruto ever had it was bad as most fics make it out to be.
For Temari, I would like to add her in the harem but I got to see if I can work her in.
Kuronueslover: Tenten and Naruto are at the dating phase because while Tenten is serious about the relationship, Naruto is hlding back because of what he has planned for Konoha which will be revealed in the next chapter or you can read the spoiler in chapter 6.
Comments about the Empress will be at the bottom. Regarding Naruto's Sage mode, it won't be making an appearance so soon. I might not even use it for this fic but you never know, past the next chapter only the major battles have been planned out and some of the origninal chapters like 10, 11, and 12 have been merged and revamped (into the current chapters 10 and 11) so we'll see where it goes after the next chapter.
Another thing, I thought I cleared this up in pervious A/Ns but apparently I didn't. Anyway just in case I'm confusing anyone Drones may collectively refer to both Runners and Warriors. There are no Drones per-say here like there is in the game AvP: Extinction.

Dozens of people were gathering at the main gates, it was noon and soon the son of the Yondiame or the Demon Brat as some still called him will be walking through those gates. The Hokage and the Council were already waiting as will as many shinobi including the Konoha 11 who had all returned from their different missions.
When Tsunade had informed the Council of Naruto's terms and that she had already agreed to them, many were outraged, some claiming that Naruto had made attempts on their lives or that he did not deserve to receive his inheritance, others just wanted him dead or under their control.
Tsunade made it quite clear that any attempt against Naruto will be dealt with by him and she was not going to intervene. Word was quickly spread throughout Konoha and as expected, there were mixed reactions. Many were jailed or paid Ibiki and Anko a visit for disorderly conduct, vandalism and rioting.
As the people gathered at the gates, a thick mist started to roll in.
"What is with that mist?" One of the Konoha Chunin asked.
"That's no ordinary mist."
"You're right. Byakugan." A Hyuga Jonin agreed as he and a few other Hyuga tried to pierce the mist with their Byakugan.
"This mist is so saturated with chakra that I can't see through it." Hinata told the rest of her friends.
"Is it Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked.
"I think so."
As the mist surrounded them, the experienced ninjas heard the sounds of claws scratching against stone, some got into guarded stance as the mist started to clear and the outlines of the Drones became more defined as well as a figure standing up-right in front of the crowd. Finally the mist cleared, revealing Naruto dressed in the exact same outfit from Tsunade's nightmares which sent a shiver up her spine. She noticed that he was wearing the cursed necklace prominently around his neck, it and his coat moved with the wind.
The front gate and most of the stalls' roofs had Drones on them all ready to pounce. Many of the Civilians and even some shinobi stepped back in fear. Tsunade had heard the latest development from the returning members of the Konoha 11 and felt it best that she kept the information to herself especially Suna and the… Empress.
---- Flashback no Jutsu ----
Naruto smiled a bone chilling smile at the captive audience, "I give you the Empress."
The Empress roared, she was noticeably larger now than before but what caught the eyes of those that had seen the Queen before was that instead of sitting up-right on her throne-like egg sack, she was now laying reclined on her back with a smaller more opaque sack connected to her which moved around a lot.
"Naruto what happened?" Kakashi asked, almost afraid of the answer.
"A solution to my problems. Thanks to Tenten."
Everyone turned to the shocked bun-haired Chunin but before she could say anything, the Empress roared again almost in pain and the sack started to open at the top as a fully developed Warrior stepped out of it and took a few steps, on all four, forward and the sack closed up.
The newborn stood up and walked over to Naruto, who affectionately stroked its head. "The first of many, an idea of both the Queen and Kyuubi's made possible with a gift from Tenten, a human womb."
"But I didn… MY BLOOD!"
"That's right Tenten. Using your blood, Kyuubi's chakra and the xenomorph's own adaptive nature, we were able to create a new stage in their life-cycle, the Empress. There are no more eggs! No more Hosts! Just fully matured Adults!"
---- Flashback Kai ---
The only thing that was missing was the laughter of an evil dictator bent on World domination and even then the ninjas swore they heard it. Tenten had promptly fainted when she realized that she helped create the Empress.
Naruto of course gave the grand tour to the Suna nin and of course they were horrified by how the Angels were originally born. Tsunade smirked as she thought about handing some of her least favorite Council members to Naruto but it also troubled her what Kakashi told her, he had camped outside the Empress' chamber for several hours (with that damn smut book with him no doubt) and as time passed the gestation period grew shorter and shorter, from one hour per Drone to about ten to twenty minutes for one and the Empress seemed to have gotten used to the birthing process.
By all estimates, Naruto probably has as many if not more of his creatures now than when he attacked Iwa though they could not confirm it. She swallowed the lump in her throat and was about to step forward and greet him when a villager ran towards Naruto, knife in hand.
"DIE DEMON!"
"SHIT!" Tsunade cursed.
Naruto did not even bother turning his head to face his attacker as the knife was plunged into his stomach but to the shock of everyone, Naruto bursted into a gust of wind which cut the villager all over his body, completely disabling him. Before he could hit the ground, he was grabbed by the throat and lifted up by Naruto.
"The first one's free." He told Tsunade and threw the would-be attacker towards some ANBU, one of whom took the injured man away. "These however aren't."
Tsunade looked confused for a moment before a Jonin and Chunin tried their luck but were caught by Drones and a quick tongue strike through the heads ended their existence much to the horror of the civilians present. Tsunade sighed and was quite surprised that the Council members decided to hold their tongues.
"Anyone else want to try?" Naruto give them a smile that truly stuck fear in many hearts, that of a demon.
Tsunade decided to step forward before anyone else tried anything else, "I think that will be quite enough of that Naruto."
Naruto lost the psychotic smile that would made Anko shiver and replaced it with his familiar grin which put Tsunade at ease.
"Welcome home Naruto."
The grin slid off Naruto's face, "Tsunade-san." Tsunade winced and had the exact some thought as Jiraiya previously, "Konoha stopped being my home the day I was forced out. Now I am back to claim what is mine then leave."
Tsunade could not help but frown, "I understand Naruto. Shall we head to the Hokage Tower to sign the papers then you can either head to the bank or your clan compound."
Naruto signaled with a wave of his arm, shattering most of the Drones only leaving four on the ground, two Warriors and two Runners with Naruto and three Warriors on top of the buildings on either side of the streets. ANBU and some Jonin tried to follow the shattered Drones but there were too many to keep track of all.
They walked silently towards the tower, Tsunade next to Naruto and a pair of Drones on both sides and the rest of the Council behind them surrounded by ANBU. The other Drones followed along the roof-tops with more ANBU close behind but Naruto stopped at a junction and looked to his left.
"Tsunade-san I just remembered that there is something I would like to do first."
"What do you…" Tsunade stopped mid-sentence when she looked down the street and understood what Naruto wanted and turned to the rest of the Council, "I think we can meet at the bank or Tower later."
Some of the Council members did not like it but knew a dismissal when they heard one though the Konoha 11 and their senseis who were following the group decided to stick around anyway, they had a good idea what Naruto wanted. The rest of the group continued to follow Naruto down the street and a ball rolled across the street and towards him, a young boy ran up to it an picked up the ball but dropped it again in fear when he saw Naruto and the Drones.
The mother of the boy ran around the corner and froze when she saw who her son ran into but quickly ran up and kneed next to her son and wrapped her arms around him, "I'm sorry Namikaze-sama, please forgive my son for getting in your way."
Everyone watched nervously as Naruto went down on one knee and spoke to the boy at his level, ignoring the mother, "What is your name?"
"Fu..Fuuta."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Ye.. Yes. You're the son of the Yondaime, the one who destroyed Iwa."
"Do you fear me and my Angels?"
"Wel… Kind of."
"Do you intent to attack me or my Angels?" Fuuta shook his head and Naruto broke out in a big foxy grin and ruffled the boy's hair, "Then there's nothing to be afraid of, is there?"
The boy and his mother stopped trembling and stared at Naruto before the boy smiled, "No there isn't. You're really strong. One day I'm going to be a ninja and be as strong as you, maybe even stronger."
Naruto patted the boy's head much to the surprise of everyone watching even some villagers, "Then you'll have to join the academy and train hard."
"You bet." Fuuta looked over to the Runner that had picked up his ball and was holding it out to him; he accepted the ball and looked at Naruto, "Can I pat him?"
"Well he's not a dog but sure."
Everyone watch in amazement (and amusement for Naruto) as the little boy patted the Runner like you would pet a dog and commented about how the skin felt. Naruto got back to his feet and dusted off his pants as Fuuta went back to his mom.
"Grow strong Fuuta and protect those important to you."
"You bet!"
"Thank you Namikaze-sama." The mother bowed as Naruto walked by nodding.
None of the Konoha nin moved, not even the Hokage as they watched Naruto walk away, his Drones by his side.
"Wow. Naruto's great with kids." Ino commented.
"Na…Naruto-kun will make a wonderful fa…father."
The girls blushed thinking about Naruto being the father of THEIR children and Tenten decided to voice her opinion, "Ya and I'll be the mother of his kids."
"WHAT!?!"
Tsunade decided to leave the others to break up the fight and ran to catch up to Naruto as he walked into his favorite ramen stand.
"Welcome to Ichiraku." Teuchi greeted when he heard someone enter and looked up to see the customers faced cover by the menu, the tips of his spiky blonde hair peeking over the top. "What can I get you?"
"I'll take one of everything, old man." Naruto lowered the menu and smile at the ramen chef who thought he was looking at a ghost.
"Minato…"
"Nope. Sorry old man, I ain't my dad."
"Naruto? NARUTO!" Teuchi reached over and pulled Naruto into a hug as Tsunade and Shizune walked in, "Ayame come here! Our number one customer is back!"
There was a crash in the back as Ayame dropped some pots and ran out to the front and saw Naruto standing at the counter, she ran over and hugged him as tightly as she could before stepping back and gave Naruto the once over and blushed slightly commenting on how much he'd grown since he'd been gone. Now that there were away from the crowd and less tense, Tsunade and Shizune could take a good look at Naruto and had to agree that Naruto had grown in to a handsome young man and much like his father before him, had girls fighting over him though not as many since most were still afraid of Naruto.
Tsunade and Shizune sat on either side of Naruto and ordered something for themselves. They sat in silence till their food was served and started to eat. Naruto had finished his second bowl while the others had barely started and decided to start a conversation.
"By the way where is Konohamaru?"
"He and his team are currently way on a mission, they should be back in the next day or two."
"Ah. I was hoping to see them before I leave."
"You know Naruto, you can stay a little longer if you like. I kinda lied to the Council, told them you wanted three days and I could push for an extension." Tsunade sounded hopeful.
"I'll think about it but I will most likely leave tomorrow after I conclude my business."
"Oh… I see." Naruto did not miss the disappointed looks on Tsunade and Shizune's faces.
"Hey old man, give me another miso ramen!"
"Coming right up."
Naruto, don't your… Angels need to eat?" Shizune asked.
"Not as much or as often as you'd think."
Naruto started on his latest bowl when the others entered the stall and while the girls tried to shove their way to the last two remaining seats in the stall, Kakashi and Sasuke nonchalantly sat down and ordered something to eat while the others shook their heads at the display and decided to head to the dessert store that Anko frequented with Kurenai leading Hinata who gave Naruto a lingering look away, leaving Tenten and Sakura to continue their argument, uncaring of the fact that the stall was out of seats.
---- Hokage Tower ----
The Council had reconvened in the Council meeting room along with the Hokage and her Assistant, Naruto along with the senseis of the Konoha 11. Everyone was witness to Naruto signing the official documents naming him the heir and head of the Uzumaki-Namikaze Clan and taking over full control of all their assets, much to the displeasure of some Council members.
The Naruto supporters had to try and hide their smirks at the seething looks on the faces of the Naruto haters but all attention turned to a mid-age man dressed in a hakama and glasses entered the room.
"Afternoon Hokage-sama and esteem Council members, I am Takahashi Daisuke and I am the bank manager for the Konoha bank. I have with me all report on all the assets owned by one Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze."
"Thank you, Takahashi-san. Please begin."
"Yes well, within our bank's accounts the combined assets of the Uzumaki-Namikazes stand at 327 067 450 052 ryo in cash."
Everyone's mouth dropped open except Danzo.
Kakashi even dropped his book thinking, "That's a lot of Icha Icha."
"Damn… Too bad I'm too old for the gaki though…" Tsunade turned to the stunned face of Shizune.
"That's a lot of money."
"Yes Namikaze-sama, your family was, I mean is, one of the wealthiest in Konoha; the only other clans that come close is the Hyuga and the Senju whose funds are held in a village trust."
The banker continued after Tsunade managed to calm the room down, "You also own or are a shareholder of several companies in Konoha and even four in other countries and villages. These include an inn in Bird Country, a 55% stake in a 4-star hotel in Honoo Town in Fire Country, a two hundred and fifty-seven acre rice farm in Rice Country…"
"Rice Country." Naruto thought as his eyes narrowed, "That's Orochimaru country."
"And a 73% stake in a famous casino and hot-spring resort in Tsumi City …"
"THE GAKI OWNS ETERNAL FLAMES RESORT!?!" Tsunade jumped up slamming her hands on the table.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shuzune reprimanded.
"What's the matter obaa-chan? Owe a little money do we?" Naruto teased despite the image he was trying to maintain, he couldn't help himself.
"Shut it brat." Tsunade sat back down.
"Now on to the local businesses and assets, Namikaze-sama owns the market place on 18th Street…"
Some of the members of the Merchants' Guild gulped and started to sweat especially since some of their best performing stores were there and that marketplace was one of the most popular places for shoppers.
"He also owns apartment blocks 17, 18 and 19 on Summer Wind Avenue as well as the row of shop-houses on the corner of Main Street…"
A member of the Construction Guild sighed in relief, he and his family were always neutral toward the young man as a child and even offered him a unit for his use but was always blocked by the other council members though he was very sure some of his fellow guild members will be sweating once they hear the news that the buildings they were managing belonged to the young Namikaze. He just hoped he and his family will be spare from any action the young demon container might take.
"He has a 40% stake in the Konoha Daily, a 57.6% stake in Foo-Huo Textile Company…"
"WHAT!?" jumped up a man in his late forties.
"Sit down, Fokushima." Warned Tsunade, "I know your family owns a large share in that company but apparently Naruto now owns a larger share."
"As I was saying he also owns 95% of the Konoha water purification plant, the shares of which were transferred to his mother because of her contributions and subsequently purchased additional shares and finally is a 50% stake in a popular Family BBQ Restaurant."
At that, Asuma's unlit cigarette fell out of his mouth realizing that they were talking about the restaurant that he and his team often frequented.
"His family also has several safety deposit boxes as well as some loan contracts that we are helping to maintain."
"Well that's a present surprise. I did not expect to be that rich."
"While your father was orphaned at an early age, the Namikaze were amongst the first clans to join Konoha after it was established and while it was not the wealthiest at the time, many wise investments by your grandfather and earnings and rewards earned by your father had moved the Namikaze into the top five wealthiest in Konoha. Your mother arrived here with a few members of her village but she brought with her storage scrolls filled with treasure some of which she gave to the villagers to restart their lives, we believe that most of them are stored in the safety deposit boxes under the Uzumaki and subsequently both Uzumaki and Namikaze names. With their marriage kept secret except to a select few including myself, the accounts were kept separate till a time that their marriage and/or heir were revealed but even I did not know that you were their child, Namikaze-sama."
"Yes Sensei knew that Naruto was their child therefore he decreed that all the assets of the Namikaze and Uzumaki families be maintained as they were instead of being absorbed into the village treasury as is the normal practice when a family died out; this of course led to the rumors that the Minato had a child but those rumors died out pretty quickly without anyone realizing just how true they were." Tsunade smiled thinking about the Sandaime.
The bank manager placed the files and folders on the table in front of Naruto and bowed before walking over to where the Jonin Senseis were seated and took a seat. After a quick flip through some of the top folders, Naruto looked over to Tsunade and asked that none of what is heard today be allowed to be repeated by anyone but him, to which Tsunade agreed but she and Naruto were not stupid; it was likely that some of the Council members were going to spread word of Naruto's newfound wealth the moment they left the room but at least this allowed the two of them to deal with them.
"I would like to head to my clan compound now and look over the rest of these and any other documents I come across before making a decision on what to do with them."
"Of course." Tsunade took out a scroll and key and handed them to Naruto, informing him about the map and the blood seal that protected the compound.
As the Council walked out of the room, the Konoha 11 noticed more than a few unhappy faces though the shocked look on Gai, Kurenai and Asuma as well as the daydreaming and shit-eating grin on Kakashi's face seemed to draw most of their attention.
"Kakashi-sensei, what's with the look?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all and before any of you ask, we can't tell you guys anything about what happened in there." He turned around to face Naruto, not missing the slightly disappointed looks on some of their faces, "Naruto how about dinner? Your treat."
"Trying to mooch off me already, Kakashi?"
"Ma. Ma. Naruto, how about those times I brought you guys for ramen after training and it's not everyday someone inherits as much as you do."
"So Naruto inherited some money from his parents."
"What a drag… Ino, the Yondaime was part of one of the richest clans in Konoha and Naruto being his only child would inherit all of it."
A smirk appeared on Ino's face which went unnoticed by the other girls behind her and walked up to Naruto with an extra sway in her hips and pressed herself up against Naruto and started to flirt with him, "Say Naruto, how about we go on a date before you leave?"
"WHAT!!!"
Naruto figured out what Ino was up to and decide to play along, "Hmm… I don't know Ino. I got a lot of paperwork to do then there's Hinata and Tenten, got to spend time with them too."
"You're such a player. Then how about just buying me some expensive jewelry then?"
"INO-PIG!"
"GOLD-DIGGER!"
"WHAT!?!" This was followed shortly by a thump.
"Geez. Relax you three I'm not after Naruto for his money." Ino couldn't help but laugh at their expressions, "It was a joke." But no one noticed the slight look of disappointment on her face as everyone walked towards the stairs till Naruto stopped and spoke to her.
"I might take you up on that date offer some other time but for now come on, looks like I'm buying."
Ino smiled and caught up with them after all it wasn't everyday that Naruto was buying. Everything was fine till they exited the tower and found more than a dozen men and women, everyone tensed up expecting trouble but were rather stunned when the group fell to their knees and bowed.
"Please forgive us Uzumaki-sama." Called out the man at the front of the group who they assumed was the leader.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"We beg you for forgiveness for our crimes against you even after everything your mother did for us."
Naruto extended both his wrist-blades and some Warriors clung to the walls of the tower above and behind Naruto, "Explain yourselves."
"We were all refugees from Whirlpool who came here after the destruction of our homeland, your mother was part of the most prestigious clan in the village equal in standing to the Hyugas here. We never hated you for the fox but for the fact that you were given her family name without any proof or mention that you were her son so when the villagers attacked you, we took the chance to join them. Please, we beg for your forgiveness."
Naruto retracted his blades and waved off the Warriors, "I'll let you live but forgiveness is not yours this day."
Naruto walked off never looking back at the group who were too ashamed to raise their heads to even look at him as he walked away. The girls gave the group a sympathetic look and felt torn between thinking that the group deserved what they got and disappointed that Naruto did not forgive them. The girls were also sad at being reminded that the old Naruto they knew, who never held a grudge against anyone was gone but hopefully not that far gone that he would never forgiven anyone.
As they approached the BBQ Restaurant that Team 10 frequented, they were surprised to find all the staff including the head chef lined up outside and bowed to him, "Welcome back Namikaze-sama."
The head chef stepped forward and bowed to Naruto, "Welcome back, Namikaze-san."
"Thank you Setsuna-san, you always were kind to me."
"Well it was thanks to your father that I was able to open this restaurant, the least I could do was honor his last wish. Imagine my and Teuchi's surprise when we found out you were Minato's son. Come now you must be hungry, you and your guests can have anything you want after all you own half this restaurant now."
"WHAT?!?" Choji yelled before his brain shutdown imagining the free-for-all buffet he had just scored and a waterfall of drool flowed out of his mouth much to Ino's disgust.
---- Namikaze Compound ----
Naruto was walking though the streets of Konoha in the high-end district, surprisingly he was alone; none of the girls were with him and other then the four ANBU (two of whom were ROOT) who were following him. He was now in front the Uzumaki-Namikaze Compound that was located near the Hyuga Compound but further back in the woods and near the mountain-side which eventually led to the Hokage faces. He stepped towards the gate and looked at what was beyond it, he smiled, every time he passed this 'vacant' lot he would smile for some reason. He always assumed it was the field of flowers he saw which he now knows is a powerful genjutsu used as part of the defenses to protect the compound. Naruto lifted his arm and cut his palm and pushed against the iron gates so that he could finally get home. He felt the sensation that the barrier gave whenever he touched it. He pushed through it, feeling a tingling sensation in his arm and reached the cold bars, pushing them open. The gates slowly and silently opened themselves after the slight and gentle touch of Naruto's hand.
It was a large estate with flower gardens in the front, a Zen garden and a private training ground with a dojo at the far end of the property along with a private onsen in the back. The house itself was a two story mansion and a basement but with more of a western touch to it than most of the other houses in Konoha with hard wood floors, cupboards and door, marble countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. There was a massive kitchen and dining room, a wine cellar that had remained untouched with various wines and aged Sake. His room, the master bedroom like most the other bedrooms was on the second floor also had a private bathroom with a tub large enough for two people, three if they wanted to get cozy in it. There was even a trapdoor with a ladder that led to a nice office on the ground floor connected to the Clan library.
Naruto stood in the middle of the large hall, looking at the picture of his parents that hung over the fire place. He smiled; he was definitely taking that picture with him when he left. He made his way to the library and gasped slightly in awe at the sight in front of him as he entered the archives. In front of him were thousands upon thousands of scrolls. Different types of ninjutsus, genjutsus, taijustus and who knows what else, all organized into rows and rows of shelves.
Naruto randomly pulled out a scroll from the water ninjutsu section and saw the Whirlpool symbol on the seal meaning that it was most likely an Uzumaki family scroll. He opened it and started to read, "So this is how you convert chakra into water. This could come in handy."
He placed the scroll under his arm and continued to look around, randomly checking different scrolls and either placing them back on the shelves or under his arm. As he reached the last row of shelves, he saw a deck with a box on it and a tag with his name tied to it. Naruto opened the box and took out the scroll that was on it, ignoring the kunais under it, he only read the name of the technique before a big smile appeared across his face.
"Hiraishin."
Naruto tightened his grip on the scroll as his body shook, trying to get control of himself but failing.
"Let it out, Kit. You know you want to."
"BWHAHAHAHA."
"I'm so proud." Kyuubi wiped the imaginary tear with his tail.
---- Hokage Tower ----
The entire Council, the Jonin Senseis and Daisuke were once again gathered in the Council Chambers waiting for Naruto to arrive and inform them of what he was going to do. They had met two hours earlier discussing ways to keep as much of if not all of the Uzumaki-Namikaze assets in Konoha, some proposing that Naruto be forced into submission, others arguing that he should be allowed and asked to stay in Konoha. In the end, the meeting ended up being a big shouting match which ended in dead-lock and a headache for Tsunade. They had no choice but to wait for Naruto's decision…
"I want to withdraw everything."
"EVERYTHING?!"
"Yes, everything."
"But… but… if you withdraw everything the bank will not have enough operating capital."
"Not my problem. You have reserves, draw on them. I will also be closing and liquidating all my family businesses and selling off all my shares in every company I own or shut them down."
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!" Yelled one of the Civilian Councilman, "That will put hundreds out of a job and might even put our economy into a recession!"
"So."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SO?!"
"It is not my concern, this village ran me out and now I am leaving and taking EVERYTHING that belongs to me. Furniture, money, jewelry, deeds, weapons, scrolls and anything that isn't nailed down."
"So nothing will be left but the land and an empty house…" Tsunade sighed.
"I will also be taking every jutsu scroll with including this one. Catch!" Naruto threw a kunai at Tsunade who caught it effortlessly but when she and everyone noticed that it was the infamous three-pronged head of a Hiraishin kunai, a gasp was heard through out the room.
"The Flying Thunder God technique…" Kakashi breathed out.
"But that jutsu was lost with the Fourth!" A Civilian Council member yelled out.
"You did not consider the possibility that my father kept notes? Regardless, I will be taking the scrolls with me when I leave. Consider the kunai a parting gift."
"YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT JUTSU! IT IS KONOHA'S STRONGEST TECHNIQUE!!!"
"Wrong. It is one of the Namikze's strongest techniques. And I have every right to take it with me."
"Hokage-sama…" A minor Shinobi Clan head practically begged.
"Naruto maybe you can allow someone like Kakashi to…"
"No." Naruto interrupted Tsunade, his tone showing that he was not in the mood for negotiating or playing around, "I have no intention of teaching my father's technique to any Konoha ninja and that is final. Takahashi–san, when will the funds be ready for me to collect?"
"The money will be ready in about six hours." He answered in defeat.
"Then I'll be on my way now and will be at your bank before closing." Naruto got up and left, intentionally giving members of the Civilian Council a smirk before exiting.
Tsunade sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, she could just feel the headache coming, "There is nothing else we can do for now. This meeting is adjourned."
"HOKAGE-SAMA YOU CAN'T JUST LET THAT BRAT TAKE EVERYTHING!"
"What do you want me to do? We can't fight him, everything is legally his and the ANBU are already having a hard time keeping track of the creatures that are already in the village. He has not done anything against us…"
"HE MADE AN ATTEMPT ON MY LIFE!"
"And I told you we did not find any proof of Naruto's creatures going after you; those burn marks could not have been from those creatures' blood. You have to have hurt them and you yourself said you ran."
"We should force him to stay or kill him and take everything!"
"Are you stupid!? He has not done anything to threaten us. And before you say anything else, he does not need to summon his creatures; I have reports from patrols stating that there are large groups of his creatures waiting in the open, not even bothering to hide just out of sight of civilians. Just one mental command and they'll swarm this village. I do not want to hear any more."
Tsunade got up and walked out of the room followed closely by the Jonin senseis, major clan heads and Naruto's supporters. Some of the less hardcore Naruto haters reluctantly got up and left, leaving only the more hardcore Naruto haters and Danzo supporters behind, all fuming at the current state of affairs.
"That Demon is taking the Yondaime's Hiraishin no jutsu with him. No one else knows how to use it."
"If that happens, Konoha will no longer be the strongest."
"With all the money he's taking with him, he could start his own village."
"And put us in a recession which could bankrupt us."
"But what can we do? All we can do is let the brat have his way, even the Uchiha won't help us."
"Then are we just going to sit here and let him take everything?"
"No, we cannot allow the demon to leave with everything. We have to strike and strike NOW!" Danzo slammed his fist onto the table much to the support of the gathered crowd.
---- - ----
Naruto stood on the roof of the Ninja Academy, looking over the village that his parents swore on their life and gave them to protect and the one that he had sworn to protect before he was forced out. Now he was torn between just leaving and waiting or just break his promise and leave nothing but scorched earth and blood where Konoha now stands. With all the money and resources that he will be taking with him when he leaves, it will make Konoha hard pressed to carry on with its war efforts.
At the very least, he should offer Ayame, Teuchi and Setsuna a chance to leave the village and set up somewhere else just in case. Suna is a tempting option, another would be to start his own village, maybe he can talk to the Fire Daimyo after the fall of Konoha. Wave was another definite possibility. Getting Tenten and Hinata out is another problem, their loyalty to Konoha is likely to be too strong to just ask them to up and move away with him.
"Soon." Naruto whispered to himself, "Konoha is reaching its boiling point and soon it will tear itself apart if its enemies don't do it themselves."
"Naruto-kun."
Naruto turned around and noticed Sakura standing a few feet away from him, her hands behind her back and avoided his gaze, overall looking like a bashful schoolgirl rather than an experienced kunoichi.
"What do you want Sakura-chan?"
"I was wondering if maybe you would… would like to go out on a date with me later."
"You have no have no idea how much I've always wanted to hear that Sakura-chan." She smiled at that but got nervous and worried when he frowned and sighed, "But I'm going out with Tenten now and I guess with Hinata as well and not to mention that I will be leaving this village soon. Maybe forever."
"Forever…" Sakura did not want to believe what she was hearing. It was breaking her heart to hear that.
"Frankly, I don't think it's fair for Tenten and Hinata to be seeking a relationship with me especially when I am probably an inch away from being listed as Konoha's most hated enemy if I haven't already been. Sakura."
She looked at him in curiosity.
"I had a crush on you when we were younger."
"Had…" Her heart broke even more.
"Then it became something more but then that day happened and I have never been hurt like that before, not even when Sasuke shoved that Chidori through my chest."
Sakura looked down and let her tears hit the floor, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"I don't want to be hurt like that again Sakura. Right now you're the only one who can do that. I'm sorry."
Naruto turned away and started to leave.
"TELL HIM!!! FOR KAMI'S SAKE PLEASE TELL HIM!!! THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE!!!" Inner Sakura screamed/begged.
"I'M SORRY NARUTO-KUN! I LOVE YOU!"

A/N:
This is my first omake. Hope you enjoy it. Inspired by LoPe21's comment/review.
Omake
Everyone watched nervously as Naruto went down on one knee and spoke to the boy at his level, ignoring the mother, "What is your name?"
"Fu..Fuuta."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Ye.. Yes. You're the son of the Yondaime, the one who destroyed Iwa."
"Do you fear me and my Angels?"
"Wel… Kind of."
"Do you intent to attack me or my Angels?" Fuuta shook his head and Naruto broke out in a big foxy grin and ruffled the boy's hair, "Then there's nothing to be afraid of, is there?"
The boy and his mother stopped trembling and stared at Naruto before the boy smiled, "No there isn't. You're really strong. One day I'm going to be a ninja and be as strong as you, maybe even stronger."
Naruto patted the boy's head much to the surprise of everyone watching even some villagers, "Then you'll have to join the academy and train hard."
"You bet." Fuuta looked over to the Runner that had picked up his ball and was holding it out to him; he accepted the ball and looked at Naruto, "Can I pat him?"
"Well he's not a dog but sure."
Fuuta stepped forward and started to stroke the Runner's head, surprisingly the Drones started to bounce one of its hind leg and it started to make loud panting sounds.
"KAWAIII!!!"
Everyone watched with wide eyes as Tenten jumped forward and started to pat and stroke the Runner's head with the young boy eventually getting the Runner to roll on its back where she started to rub its stomach and asking it 'Who's a good boy?' in the same tone/voice you would use on a baby. Everybody had large sweat drops on their heads, even Naruto, at the sight.
"Well that's unexpected."
"You're a good boy aren't you? Yes you are. Yes you are." Tenten cooed.

Regrading the Empress, it is based on the Queen for the 4th Alien movie, Alien Resurrection. The name Empress is based on the name I found on Wikipedia, an Empress is formed when there is more than 1 Queen and they will fight for dominance and is suppose to still be about to lay eggs, I think it was mentioned in a game. I decided on the name to denote the difference between the Queen (Empress) in my story and the regular Queen and also because of an idea I would like to use later.
I'm sorry if I disappointed you guys about the Empress since suprisingly only 1 or 2 guessed that I would be using the form from the 4th movie and a lot of people guessed that it would be a humanoid Queen/xenomorph.
I hope that you guys are looking forward to the next chapter, war comes to Konoha.
