"Uzumaki-sama, the council requests you immediately." Naruto groaned before allowing the anbu to take him to the chambers. As soon as he reached the chambers, his escort left him. He turned to Tsunade.
"Kaa-san what do they want this time?" The others were shocked at his declaration but said nothing.
"We want to know about your choice in women who will marry you soon" said Lily Haruno. She had spoken to her daughter about marrying both Sasuke and Naruto should he ask her to. Sakura after having a long talk agreed should the opportunity arise. Naruto was about to reject telling them until he saw his mother figure with the look of anticipation on her face.
"Fine my soon to be wives are Hinata Hyuga, Moegi, Anko Mitarashi, and Ayame Ichiraku." Lily frowned when her musume wasn't mentioned. She was sure he had a monstrous crush on her. Her frown deepened when he mentioned snake-whore. 'Why would he choose her out of all people to be his wife? Not even the last Uchiha looked her way after finding out her reputation.'
"I'm sorry Naruto but we can't allow you to choose Anko as she is not deemed loyal enough to our village." The other civilians along with the elders agreed with her. Naruto narrowed his eyes in annoyance.
"Why isn't someone like her considered loyal?"
"She has a strong connection to Orochimaru through her cursed seal and can be used against us. Then there is the fact that she loved Orochimaru enough to leave the village with him."
"So you're saying that if that mark was to go away then I will be able to have her without interferences from the council." The civilian side knowing Jiraiya didn't know how to remove it agreed. "Kaachan, can you fetch Anko for me?" Tsunade snapped her finger for an anbu to retrieve her returning 5 minutes later. Anko looked around with confusion written all over her face.
"Anko, I need you to stand still while I remove the cursed seal from your neck." Naruto's finger glowed as he placed it on her neck where the cursed seal was. The seal slowly turned into a black smoke before fading away leaving a bare spot where the seal once stood. The civilian council grew pissed at the fact that the snake-whore managed to gain the attention of someone important.
Anko kissed Naruto on the lip while slipping her tongue in. Tsunade watched with a smile on her face as images of a child with Naruto's looks and Anko's personality or vice versa ran around calling her obachan. If you watched closely, you could see her eyebrow twitching in annoyance. Anko left stating she was still in the process of moving still making the civilian council angrier than before. Naruto looked around at their faces.
"Well since I removed the mark, you all have to leave her alone now. Is there anything you would like to say council members?" Tsume thought about it for a while.
"Well the council did say the minimum was 4 wives so will it be possible that you will take more wives? I wanted to extend a marriage proposal to create an alliance between us."
"Well it depends on who that person you're trying to marry me off to. You don't have to tell me now but I would like to hear who you would send to marry me. From there I will decide whether or not I will take on another wife. Now if you don't mind, I have a team to strengthen." He faded away impressing the council members.
Naruto appeared where he found Hinata training with her sword. She stopped and turned to him making her eyes go wide in shock.
"So the rumors are true about you being alive, Naruto-kun. I missed you so much." She embraced him in a tender loving hug. Naruto returned the hug to her while adding a back rubbing motion.
"Hinata, the council told me I needed to marry and impregnate 4 women minimum and I was hoping you would be one of them."
"Of course I would like to be your wife Naruto-kun. But if you don't mind me asking, who did you chose for your others wives?" Her mind began to prepare for the worst case scenario. 'Don't get mad at your Naruto-kun if he chose the pink headed whore to be one of them.'
"I have you, Anko, Moegi, and Ayame. They'll most likely try to get me to marry more but I doubt I will choose them. It depends on how they treated me before the execution." Hinata thought about the girls he listed and found a lack of pink on it.
"Naruto-kun, you didn't mention Sakura on your list did you?" The aura around him turned dark making the lavender eyed girl worried. "Just forget that I mentioned her. I don't want you to get stressed out because of her. She was the cause of you death anyway so of course you don't like her." His aura changed back to calm when told to forget about it.
"Anyway hinata, the others already moved in with me to my mansion. If you want to, you could move in with me. The mansion is always available to you. I keyed you into the system so you could come in anytime you want. Only those who are keyed in will be allowed and if anyone else try to sneak in, they would die horrible as electricity pass through them. I'll see you around hina-chan." He pecked her on the lips before heading off. When he got there, he found that his new wives had chosen a room along with his soon to be father-in-law. Thoughts of having a large family made him smile. His thoughts were interrupted by the bell on the gates of his estate. He went outside to see his ex-team members standing outside. His eyes narrowed in annoyance as he wondered why they were there. He walked to the gate until he was close enough for them to hear him.
"What the hell do you want? I am no longer a part of your team so there should be no reason as to why you would be here."
"We came here to talk to you about you returning to our squad. We were told not too long ago that you quit our squad and went on your own. We didn't know you found another team already. We were going to give you time to blow some steam off but I never expect you to leave us so willingly. Come back to or team so we could be a family again. Team 7 is the only thing I have to a family." There was regret and sadness in his eyes. Regret for being the one to get his sensei's son killed and sadness for turning the once cheery boy into the cold hearted teen he was now.
"I'm not returning to your team Hatake so coming here was just a waste of your time. Why would I go to a squad with a pink haired banshee who scorns my existence and an Uchiha with a superior complex of that of a god?" Sakura's eyes turned teary at his description of her.
"I'm sorry for the things I've said especially about you playing dead to gain my affection. I just could wrap my mind of the thought of you being dead. I'm sorry for the way I treated you during the academy. I was told that you were a demon and to treat you that way and I was a fool to do that. My mom told me that you aren't a demon but the son of yondaime. Please forgive me Naruto-kun and could we possible go out sometime just like you wanted to?" Sakura hoped she could be in good graces with Naruto. Her mother had a long talk about how sakura should target both Sasuke and Naruto to ensure a good future for her. They would gain the support of both Uchiha and Senju clan members. The Haruno's always looked for ways to improve their clan's status. It was their dream to become as big as the Hyugas or Uchiha clans thus she supported her crush for sasuke in hopes to create sharingan wielders for their clan.
Naruto for his part was lost at words. Did she really think he would jump up and down for a chance to date her after she was the reason he was executed. This was the same girl that punched him in the head for a mere insult to sasuke. "I would like to decline on all of the above Haruno. Also for forgiveness, the answer is hell no." Sakura's face fell. She didn't know why but for some reason, it hurt for him to say that. She was use to him following her around as a lost puppy. At one point in time, she actually thought of using him as her temporary boyfriend until the day she could get sasuke's attention but that didn't seem to be the case anymore. Then to make matters worse, he did not forgive her meaning her hated her and that thought alone didn't feel well.
"Well could you please come to my family's house? My mother wants to apologize to you and whether or not you forgive her is totally up to you. Just give her the chance to at least try to make up to you somehow." He tried to think of how Lily would apologize but couldn't as he did not know her at all. All he knew was that she thought of him as a demon that needed to be executed for crimes he did not do. Should he even go to her and at least hear what she has to say? Maybe he should at least hear what she has to say. But then again, he wasn't offered a chance either.
"I do not wish to see you mother nor do I wish to be near her. If you guys are done wasting my time then I will take my leave." He took off only to be stopped by the last person he wanted to hear.
"Fight me dobe." Naruto ignored him and walked back into the mansion infuriating Sasuke even more. Kakashi took a glimpse at Naruto before leaving knowing he would not be able to get to him today. Naruto returned to the house only for a few minutes before his bell went off again. He went back thinking it was Sasuke again only to find an anbu.
"Naruto-sama, the Hokage wishes for you and team 7 to go on a mission. A client from wave country recommended to the leader of Snow country by the name of Koyuki Kazahana that your team or rather the original team 7 received the mission. The rest of the details are on the scroll." He gave Naruto the scroll and took off. Naruto summoned his team into his yard.
"Alright guys, we have a high ranked mission in snow country. A man by the name of Doto is trying to take over Snow country. We or rather I was assigned this mission but I thought you guys could use the experience on going on this mission. It is considered an A-ranked mission but we'll be able to handle this. You three will stay and watch over princess Koyuki while I handle the combat part. Let's go the fastest way to snow country but first dress for the cold whether we will encounter." They dashed off to prepare for their upcoming mission. Naruto went inside to tell Anko that he and his team would leave and should Team 7 come by, he would already be in snow country by now. After doing so, Naruto used his scythe and opened a portal to snow country.
