Chapter 21- Aftermath
The next few minutes were spent in complete silence, both Sarutobi and Jiraiya just staring at the insane blonde in front of them. Naruto just stood there, looking off into empty space and humming to himself, when suddenly his face lost its grin looked annoyed.
"That pedo took my scythes!"
Both elderly ninja faced faulted at his words, after everything that had just happened he was pissed that he had lost his scythes.
Waving off the ANBU that were rushing over to check on him Sarutobi let out a breath and walked over to Naruto, patted him on the back before getting a serious look on his face.
"Naruto, what did you do with the body?"
Turning to look at the old man Naruto looked confused.
"What body?"
"The body of the Yondaime"
"?"
"The blonde man"
"Oh, I forgot about him"
All those on the roof sweat dropped at that, even the ANBU.
"Flashlight is over here, he was weak from the transfer so he couldn't fight."
"... What do you mean weak, Naruto, the Yondaime is dead."
The boy just grinned and led them to a small clearing in the trees that the Shodaime had made. There, sitting in a meditative position with his legs crossed was a tall blonde man in a white trench cloak with flames on the bottom.
They were all stood in shock when he opened his blue eyes and smiled at them.
"Hey, so what have I missed?"

Three years ago- Naruto's cell
XXX
Naruto sat in his cell, the seals on the walls and chains glowing blue in the over wise dark room. It had been two years since he was locked in here, nothing to do and the only company being the Kyuubi in his own mind.
Over the last two years he found himself in his mind more often than in the real world, but how could blame him.
After his first meeting with the oversized fox in his head Naruto had done a little redecorating. Instead of the dark sewer with blood flowing through it there was now a full scale village, to be more specific, Konoha. It had all the same buildings, the shops and houses, even the Hokage tower. But unlike the real Konoha, this one was like a ruin. The buildings were in disrepair and the ground was dry, vines grow over what was left of the buildings and walls. The sky was always dark, with a blood red moon casting a red glow over the village.
Another thing that was different was that instead of people walking around the streets there were strange creatures that could have been straight out of a nightmare, which, as it so happens, they were.
Naruto had learned long ago that most of the buildings were gateways, doors that led to different memories. He could walk up to any building and find himself in the past.
Another thing that he had learned was that the creatures that lived in his mind, while being a part of him, were separate at the same time. He had asked Kyuubi about it and was told that they were all his different personalities, emotions and thoughts given form.
He was currently walking down the street towards the Hokage tower. When he was in his mind Naruto didn't have any scares, not that he would care if he did. The only reason he didn't hide them with a shift was because it was funny to see people's reaction to what he looked like when he took off the bandages. He was wearing a white shirt with an orange spiral on the chest and a pair of lose black shorts.
Walking next to him was a beautiful girl in her mid teens. She stood at about 5'7 in height, with long red heir that she let fall lose down her back and on top of her head was a pair of red fox like ears. Her breasts were at least a D cup and she had curves in all the right places. The blood red kimono she wore did little to hide her figure and left very little to the imagination, it stopped just a few inches below her hips. She wore a pair of tite black shorts with 9 red tails sticking out at the base of her spin. Her face seemed perfect in every way, from the curve of her lips to the pair of firer like red eyes.
Yes the Kyuubi was a girl, and not just any girl, what might be one of the most beautiful girls in the elemental nations. The first time she told him Naruto had laughed, that is until she shrank right in front of him and changed into the woman that stood next to him now. That in itself wasn't the problem; it was the fact that she had been completely naked.
That had been the first and only time Naruto had fainted from a nose bleed, something Kyuubi was very proud of. Ever since then she had tried to get him to do it again, but with little success. She would always flirt with him, even though he was still young, but what was age to a thousand year old demon.
To a demon like herself, the only thing that mattered in a mate was power, if they were strong, they were hot.
The main problem she had found was that despite the reaction he had had to her at first, the blonde was to put it simply, an idiot when it came to women and she found it too funny to tell him.
Maybe when he was older.
Naruto had never actually go to the Hokage tower, through he didn't know why, probably just couldn't be bothered. But Kyuubi told him there was something interesting that he needed to see.
As they walked down the street they were greeted by several others, a large grey behemoth, a skinny man that seemed to be made of rags and a small rabbit with glowing red eyes. When they finally arrived at the tower there was no one else around, which was strange. Walking up to the doors Naruto kicked them open, causing a loud bang to echo off the walls.
Inside it was just like the real tower, though older and a little run down. A spiral stair case running around the outside of the circler room leading to hundreds of different offenses and at the top a balcony that lead to the Hokage's office.
Not bothering with the other rooms Kyuubi led him to the top of the tower and stopped outside the door to the Hokage office.
Raising an eyebrow at her he kicked the door like he did the one at the bottom.
It was just like the real thing, the desk and the paintings. The only difference was that there was no window looking out over the village and that unlike the rest of his mind, this room was in perfect condition.
If it wasn't for the blonde guy sat in the chair behind the desk instead of the old man he would have thought he was in a memory.
The man looked like an older version of Naruto himself, with the same blonde hair and blue eyes. He knew who it was straight away.
Seeing the boy stood in the doorway Minato stood from his desk and walked around to the other side, a warm smile on his face.
It wasn't there for long.
Seeing the smile had done something to Naruto that hadn't happened in 2 years, he got angry. The grin fell from his face and was replaced with a look of absolute hatred. His skin began to ripple. Running into the room straight at the man, which apparently thought he was going for a hug, Naruto lunged at him and tried to tear out his throat.
Minato was so surprised that he was barely able to stop the now clawed hands an inch from his neck.
Neither of them noticed the laughter that came from the girl that was stood in the corner, watching the two as they rolled around the ground, both trying to get on top of the other.
After a few minutes Kyuubi walked over and grabbed the smaller boy by the scruff of his neck and pulled him off the older man, kicking and screaming.
It was just so cute.
When Minato finally got his bearings he looked up to see something that made him blush.
The boy that had attached him, that he knew to be is son, was being held in a bone crushing hug by a beautiful girl in a red kimono. She had lifted him up off the ground so his legs were kicking about wildly; the reason for this was that his face had been pressed into her large cleavage, suffocating him.
"You're so cute when you're angry Naru-chan!"
Her voice was like the tinkling of bells and the seductive way it was said made a shiver run down the former Hokage's back. If his wife was here she would kill him.
Just when it seemed the boy would suffocate the red headed woman turned him around so that he was facing Minato, but didn't releases him from the hug and the back of his head still nestled in between her breasts.
The moment his face was out of her breasts Naruto took in several deep breaths, his face red from lack of oxygen. When he got his breath back the young blonde looked at the girl holding him, all the rage at seeing his father gone, and pouted.
"You said you wouldn't do that anymore!"
Lowering her head so it was level with his Kyuubi rubbed her cheek against his.
"But you were so cute, like a little chibi kit. I just had to hug you!"
The pout still on his face, Naruto turned his eyes back to his dad, who had just noticed Kyuubi's ears and tail and had backed away.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Minato was slightly taken aback by the way Naruto spoke.
"Watch your language"
Both Kyuubi and Naruto stared at him for a moment with blank expressions on their faces, giving nothing away. Then, without warning, they both broke out in laughter.
Getting a tic mark at the back of his head from being laughed at, Minato snapped.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?"
Still laughing, Naruto slowly stated to speak.
"Ha-ha- you-ha- actually think-ha-ha- that I would- ha- listen to anything-ha-ha- you say-ha-ha."
"I'm your father"
That stopped them laughing.
Locking eyes with Minato again, the smaller blonde got a blank expression on his face.
"Fuck you flashlight"

From then on Naruto and Kyuubi would go and see Minato whenever they could be bothered. It turned out that he wasn't able to leave the room, which meant that he couldn't see outside. It took almost a whole year before Naruto would have a real conversation with the blonde Hokage and even then he still didn't talk much.
It broke Minato's heart to see how much his own son hated him. The look in his eyes when he saw him was almost enough to bring tears to his eyes.
As time went on he noticed several things about Naruto, two that stood out from the rest. The first was that the village must not have treated him like a hero the way he had wished and the second was that he was completely insane. It was little things at first, a random word here, uncalled for laughter there, but over time he pieced it together to a cretin extent.
They never talked about the village inside or outside his head, Naruto had said in passing that he was in the School but before he could ask him to elaborate the younger blond had moved on to something else.
He never asked about Kushina, afraid of what he might here. The only reason he could think of for her not being there for their son was that she was dead.
The fact that Kyuubi was always with Naruto had at first worried Minato, thinking that she had done something to him that had made him like this, but his fears went away after seeing how she acted around him. It was actually kind of creepy, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, strongest of the nine, seemed to like his son.
Naruto, being the idiot he was, couldn't tell but Minato did. She would always hug him and was never far away at any one time. Taking any excuse to touch him.
When he thought about it, it was actually kind of funny.
It took a long time but the older blonde was able to get Naruto to at least be natural around him. It didn't hurt that he started to teach him how to make seal.
He was surprised when one day Naruto's voice started to echo around the room that was for all intense and purposes his prison, telling him that he had his body and was going to move him into it.
The world around him started whirl and the next thing he knew he was laying on a tiled floor surrounded by trees. A wave of sickness hit him and he found he was unable to get up.
Bending over him with a blank expression on his face was Naruto.
"Stay here"
Without another word he turned and left.

Everything seemed to move at super speed after that. The Sound-nin had retreated, at least the ones that were still alive, and the wounded had all been moved to the hospital, including Minato.
After getting an explanation about how he was alive, something to do with accidentally sealing himself in his son, Sarutobi and Jiraiya had turned to the blonde and asked why he didn't tell them about Minato.
His response had caused all in the room at the time to face fault.
"Thought I did, hey dose anyone else see that lama in the corner or is it just me?"
Of cause, it was just him.
Both Shino and Shikamaru were also in the hospital. It turned out that although it didn't take much chakra to control one of Naruto's parades, it did put a lot of strain on the mind. They would be ok, but tired for quite some time.
It was for this very reason he had given them the rings in the first place, he knew that they would be able to handle it better then one of the others.
The news that the Yondaime was back spread through the village like wild fire, through only a select few knew how. But that didn't stop the rumours.
Some of the more enthusiastic Naruto haters thought he was back to finish what he had started and would finally rid them of the 'demon brat' once and for all. Others that had heard about what Orochimaru had done thought the Jutsu had gone wrong and had accidentally brought him back.
And the rest were just so happy he was back that they didn't care how.
As soon as they were brought out of the shelters hidden in the Hokage monument the people of Konoha had surrounded the hospital hoping to see him for them selves.

It had been two weeks sine the failed invasion and Naruto, along with Sarutobi, other members of the 'rookie 12' as they had come to be known after the invasion, Minato and Jiraiya were stood at the north gat into Konoha to see of Gaara and his siblings off.
They, along with Baki had stayed in the village to help with the reconstruction of the village while a new alliance was being made between the two villages.
Both Shino and Shikamaru were in wheel chairs because thy were still recovering form the strain of commanding the parades and Minato, who had been reinstated as the Yondaime Hokage was leaning on Jiraiya for support.
At first he was going to refuse the position, but after a conversation with his son that ended with the threat of castigation if he didn't take the job, he had reluctantly agreed.
When Sarutobi asked Naruto why he was forcing Minato into the job he had laughed and said he thought it would be funny to watch him have to do mountains of paperwork.
When they had all said their goodbyes Naruto walked forward with a huge grin on his back and two large bundles in his arms that seemed to come out of nowhere.
Raising and eyebrow at his friend, Gaara asked what they were.
"Gifts"
He had then proceeded to open out one of the bundles to revel three scrolls and a pair of beautiful white fans connected to each other by a metal wire.
Picking up the fans and tossing then to Temari, he started to explain.
"I made then for you. Their smaller then your normal fan but easier to handle and when you channel wind chakra through them their more precise, but shorter range, I thought they would be a good short range weapon for you."
Like everything else Naruto made they were covered in complicated seals that when Temari channelled chakra through glowed with a faint blue light.
Before she could thank him Naruto had already walked up to Kankuro and handed him two of the three scrolls.
At the boy questioning look the blonde grinned.
"I don't know much about puppets, so I came up with this. Read through them when you get back to your village. One of then is a storage scroll with a special metal I made you can use, enjoy."
Nodding his head to Naruto, the puppeteer put the scrolls in his bag. And was about to step back when Naruto siad something that made his blood boil.
"And find a nice boy or something, I'm sure you'll make a wonderful wife someday. "
If it wasn't for Baki grabbing him by the back of the collar he would have punched him right in the nose.
"I'M NOT GAY!"
Paying no attention to the red faced Kankuro, Naruto turned to Gaara and handed him the last scroll without a word before moving back to the other bundle he had brought.
When he took off the rapping they could all see four wood boards about 7 foot long covered in seals with the Sand-village insignia on the front.
Handing one to each of them, including Baki, Naruto laughed at the confused faces and explained.
"Just a little something to seed up your trip, I call them 'Sand Boards'. You can ride them in the desert."
Nodding their heads at the blonde they said one more goodbye and left.

(IMPORTANT AN)
For those worried about Naruto becoming more san don't, it just hard to write it at the current part of the story. I have an arc coming up hat will have him going crazy and killing people but don't know how long until I get to it. Also for those wondering why Minato didn't go crazy it's because he couldn't leave the room.
Also I have decided to put the next chapter of this story on hold. It wouldn't be permanent, but I just thought I'd let you now. Sorry :(
I AM NOT ABANDANING THIS STORY!
Let me know what you think :)
