(Authors Notes)
Hello hello all! Here it is, the first chapter after the four year time skip! Weee. I'm excited that we are finally at this point. I can't say how much fun it is to have a change of pace where everyone is older, and I can humiliate, and make fun of everyone, or exploit some feature about them in some funny way lol. Anyways! Below the reviewer shout outs is a quick little bit of information that will help everyone get a picture of what everyone looks like now, and such. Some things I wont be going over such as how Sasuke got his Mangekyo, and also Hinata's activation of her own demon shroud. They should be pretty easy to figure out on your own if you think about it, but if your lazy and or lack the left half of your brain, Sasuke activated his MS by keeping his Sharingan activated for 5 days and nights straight during the four year time skip. Hinata activated her demon shroud while training against Naruto one day, and had no issues with her mate mark like Hana did. So there ya go lol. Also below is the quick list of clan's that are now in Uzu along with the Uzumaki's, also in that list is a general over all of what the clan is known for being good at, as well as the head of the clan. Hope you all enjoy reading, and leave me a review... or at least a fucking mini strawberry cheesecake. CHEESECAKE! FUCKING LOVE THAT STUFF!
NOTE TO ALL, THERE IS A LEMON IN THIS CHAPTER ;)
Reviewer shout outs:
Foxygirl7: I'm glad your really liking the story so much, it's been fun most of the time writing this whole thing so far lol. Thank you for the review(s) :) Hopefully I won't let ya down, you still have 20 chapters to go girl. ;)
creationschimera: Thanks, and I plan on keeping it going for quite some time :P And hell yes I had to try, and throw in one of my favorite ed edd n eddy scenes from the show in my book haha. God i love ed haha "Are you feeling hot ed?" "Nah im half baked" haha priceless *Wipes tear from my eye*
Ankeith: You have guessed correctly! I will be doing flashbacks, mainly starting in the next chapter. This one is like the re-introduction of everyone if you will. After this one things will be moving back on along track, with the help of some flash backs to help the transition go smoothly seeing how i am skipping four years.
Sgtvp: Holy crap that was a long review haha. And I'll try and respond to all your questions in it. I've been thinking about adding omake's into the chapters but really have been waiting to see if anyone wants them, so any others out there reading this and think omake's will be a good addition lemme know in a review. Next, everyone will have their own specialty if you will. As far as jutsu's go, could be summoning? could be something different all together? I won't say yet :P About Nagato, he will be thrown into the story but maybe in a different way than you are hoping. But I do agree that Naruto and Nagato tag teaming would be awesome lol. The Itachi/Sasuke/Naruto/Kisame throw down will happen in the near future so look out for that too. Last but not least, the tall slimy ol grey and pedo will be showing up, as well as the akatsuki causing shit to go everywhere. So ya that should be fun to write.
Jimking4: Hell yes! Ed Edd n Eddy throw backs for the win. Shame cartoon network doesn't make good ol classics like that no more haha. Glad you liked it.
Thank you as always to the many who've left me private messages, and feedback on the story since the last chapter which came out not so long ago! In the first 24 hours of chapter 27 being published. Chapter 27 received 5.2k views alone! Holy crap guys that's awesome! So thank you again to everyone who has been supporting myself as a writer, and this story. Without you all I would probably be spending way too much money on car parts, and playing around in my garage more than I should be haha.. okay I do that anyways but still thanks!

Putting On The Adult Diapers
And so the story picks up after the infamous four years of hell. Well.. it was considered hell for the most part by our beloved two Uzumaki males, but I digress. Many things have come to pass since the arrival of Tomo Uzumaki, and Jiraiya of the sannin. After thousands of hours of brutal training of all kinds, tons of construction to accommodate the former missing clan's of Uzu, two weddings, a new Uzumaki Clan member being born. The village of Uzu was once again standing tall ready to make its impact upon the elemental nations soon, oh yes.. very soon.
It only took Kensei about a year, and a half to gather the Uzumaki's clan allies, and bringing them all back to Uzu. The way he would do so was by traveling to the town, or village his mother had told them they would be in, and would find the head of the clan once he had managed to locate them. Once notifying the clan head of what was going on in Uzu, Kensei would either head back to Uzu, or continue onto the next destination to find the others. Around the time Hana was due to give birth to their baby boy, who was later named Hikaru Uzumaki, after Mito Uzumaki's older brother. There was just one clan left that was not brought back yet to Uzu, which happened to by the Ryocuse Clan, who set up in Kiri after separating from Tomo's lead when escaping Uzu at the time of its destruction. Naruto had volunteered himself to bring the Ryocuse Clan back, so Kensei could stay in Uzu, and help his wife in any way possible before, and after Hikaru was born. It wasn't until a year or so later after the birth of Hikaru that Naruto departed from Uzu after being deemed "Trained enough" to go searching for the lost clan on his own, and unfortunately for Naruto a lot of crappy things happened on his quest to bring back the last missing clan of Uzu. But we will get to that another time.
Thankfully Kensei was able to find the first clan relatively easily, and made it back home to Uzu a few weeks before Hana went into labor. If anyone was to ask him if he was scared about the baby, he would shrug it off, and say "Hell nah" but in reality, he himself had to stay in the hospital after giving himself severe panic attack, causing him to black out for a good few hours after the baby was born, when the reality of having a kid hit him square in the face.
Another event that caused the now good sized village to celebrate, was the wedding between the village's first soon to be official Uzukage, and his fiance of the past few years. Everyone was ecstatic to see that the future of the Uzumaki Clan was good, and well on its way to rebuilding itself, and the village couldn't be any more happier about it. The wedding itself was very large, and went off without a hitch. And while nobody from outside of Uzu was invited to the wedding. Tomo had managed to get Jiraiya to send a messenger toad to Hiashi, and Tsume to let them know discretely of weddings, but nothing else much to the two's dismay.
Things were really starting to look up for the rebuilt village of Uzu. The village's population swelled in the 3,000 range, and had everything anyone could possibly want. Restaurants that were plain and simple, to all out extravagant ones. Casino's much to the enjoyment of Tsunade who spent whatever time she had away from the hospital, and meetings that she was called to. There was even a hot spring/bath house built to provide relaxation to all after a hard day's work. Although much to Jiraiya's disappointment, it was very well known that he was not allowed anywhere near the bath house or hot springs for any purposes. Of course he stubbornly figured he could get away with sneaking a peek now and then, but he was sadly mistaken when each time he'd be humiliated in some horrible fashion to the point he'd no longer even try. Poor Jiraiya...
Another thing to take note of was the village's shinobi force, which got into full swing after the first few clan's arrived back in Uzu. The shinobi training, which was required by all was lead by a man named Laxus Susanasu, who just so happened to be a very intimidating man, and an extreme hard ass. Although the village was not taking official missions yet by other countries, the shinobi of Uzu were all tasked with different missions, mostly espionage missions to gather information on possible threats that may come to their homes once Uzu announces it's resurrection to the world.
Even though the village itself was doing great, and the people of the village were doing well for themselves, many threats laid on the horizon for the reborn village of Uzushio. Early on in the first year after getting back in touch with his spy network, Jiraiya told everyone about the Akatsuki who were seeking the tail beasts for an unknown purpose. At first Tomo, Kensei, and Naruto were not too worried about hearing this, as the village had not been infiltrated by anyone yet, let alone by an unknown group of S-Classed missing nin. But after careful consideration, Naruto had come up with a plan that could possibly stop the threat of the unknown organization, before they even became a problem.
It was decided that Naruto, while Kensei was out searching for the clan's, would track down the Jinchuriki's of the tailed beasts, and separate them from each other. Once he had managed to find and separte one of the tailed beasts, he would then bring the tailed beasts back to Uzu, where they would be protected as well as protect Uzu if the need arose, well out of harms way. Cruel? Perhaps. But in the end, the potential dangers of having an unknown organization with unknown S-class missing nin accumulating that much power is just too great, and needed to be stopped before they got out of hand.
Currently there are four tailed beasts residing in Uzu at the moment. The Ichibi, Sanbi, Gobi, and Kyubi. While tracking down the tailed beasts, Naruto didn't have much of an issue with bringing the Sanbi back to Uzu, because at the time he and Kensei were in Kiri searching about, trying to find leads on the Ryocuse Clan's whereabouts, and found themselves caught in the middle of the bloodline purge that was still raging on within the country. Assisting the rebel forces against Yagura, and his loyal forces. Kensei and Naruto battled against the deranged Mizukage, and ultimately won the battle after Naruto had managed to split the Sanbi, and Yagura apart in the middle of the battle. With Kensei focusing on killing Yagura, and Naruto focusing on capturing the Sanbi, the two had managed to help Kiri greatly without even intending to in the first place. With Yagura now dead, and the Sanbi dealt with, Kiri was taken over by the rebel forces once the loyal shinobi of Yagura all saw him fall in battle. After the battle was finished, Kensei and Naruto fled Kiri quickly before anything got out about them such as their actual names. But thankfully for the two they had managed to get some information as to where their last missing clan had been sent on their way back home.
Now as far as the Ichibi, and Gobi go. Well they were a different story really.. Once Naruto had found Gaara in Suna, the two 16 year old red heads instantly butted heads, and fought. It wasn't until Naruto forced himself into Gaara's mind scape that he was able to calm the raging Ichibi down that was driving the slightly younger Suna Jinchuriki insane. After realizing who Naruto was, Shukaku ultimately submitted, and Naruto placed a different seal on Gaara from within the mind scape, dividing the two beings from each other without killing Gaara in the process.
After it was all said and done, Naruto convinced Gaara that it would be better for him to come back to Uzu with him, and Shukaku so that he could live a normal life, and be shown that the people of Uzu will befriend him, and will be shown the love that he was missing all his life. After telling Gaara of his own story, and personal experiences he went through in Konoha being a Jinchuriki himself. Gaara accepted his offer to leave Suna behind, and join Uzu in attempts to see the better sides of life.
Now as far as the Gobi incident went, well.. it was ugly.. that's pretty much the only way Naruto would describe it to anyone. Traveling to Iwa by himself under a different transformation seal this time. Not wanting to be caught by a different country with his actual appearance like back in Kiri. Naruto had spent a month, and a half roaming around stone country in his search for the Gobi's Jinchuriki. Once he did manage to find Han, the Gobi's Jinchuriki. Like with Gaara did, Han lashed out instantly by going into his tailed beast mode, in attempts of trying to kill Naruto. Not wanting to kill the man, or the Gobi, Naruto did his best to try and keep good with what he wanted to do by not killing either of them, but in the end. Naruto had to cripple the man to the point where he wouldn't be able to move for the rest of his life, just so he could get into Han's mind scape to separate the Gobi from him.
After the incident with the Gobi, and upon returning back to Uzu. Naruto and Hinata married a few months later, and it was decided that Naruto would stay in the village for another six months before venturing out of the village once more to find the other tailed beasts that were to be brought back to Uzu. That was three months ago, and now we find ourselves in the Uzumaki Compound just after dinner time at Naruto and Hinata's home.
(Lemon Down Below)
"Naruto-kun are you almost done in there?" Hinata called out to her husband who was still in the bathroom after a shower.
"Yeah just drying off, I'll be right out." Hinata heard Naruto say from the other side of their bedroom's bathroom.
"Well hurry up. You know I can't sleep good without you next to me." Hinata reminded her husband.
A couple of minutes later the bathroom door opened up to reveal a much older long haired spiky redhead emerging from the bathroom. "Told ya I'd be right out." Naruto smirked as he strolled out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel.
Getting up off the edge of the bed in nothing but her nightgown, Hinata walked over to her husband. "Hurry up, and get in bed." Hinata informed as she tapped her foot on the floor impatiently.
"Okay, okay, okay." Naruto laughed as he walked next to his wife.
"You know..." Hinata trailed off as she watched Naruto searching through the dresser.
"Hmm? What's that Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked as he reached into the dresser to pick out his night clothes.
"Oh nothing Naruto-kun." Hinata smiled seductively as she made her way over to Naruto, swaying her hips in the process. Effectively causing Naruto to drop the shirt he had pulled out of the drawer.
Getting right up in front of Naruto, Hinata seductively traced a finger along Naruto's jawline. "You know Naruto-kun. I think it's time."
"Time? Time for what Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Hmm.." Hinata hummed as she reached up to Naruto's ear and whispered to him. "For you to hurry up, and get in bed." Hinata informed as she ripped the towel that was covering him, and pushed him onto their bed.
Walking over to the light switch, Hinata flipped it off leaving the room dark, and barely able to see much of anything from within the room. Laying down on the bed where she felt Naruto at, Hinata climbed on top of him straddling his hips, and started kissing him passionately on the lips in a heat of passion.
As their tongue's battled for dominance, Naruto's hands slowly started making their way underneath Hinata's silk night gown, on a mission to find Hinata's large D-Cup breasts.
Finding what he was after he slowly started kneading them in slow rotations, and would ever so slightly pinch her nipples every once in a while, earning a few pleasing moans from Hinata, as they continued their intense kissing session.
Not one for being in a losing battle, Naruto moved his hands away from Hinata's large breasts, and went downwards towards the bottom of Hinata's nightgown, and started to raise it upwards to get the offending nightgown off of his wife. Seeing where Naruto was getting at, Hinata sat up and lifted her arms upwards to let Naruto get the nightgown off of her.
Once the nightgown was off of her, Naruto instantly went to trailing kisses slowly starting from the side of Hinata's mouth, to her cheek, then her neck, then made his way down towards her breasts once more. Giving each the same amount of attention as the last with his mouth.
Enjoying the teasing, but not wanting to be the only one enjoying the moment like this, Hinata slowly trailed her hand down towards where Naruto's hardened erection laid, and started slowly stroking it lovingly, getting grunts, and groans from her husband as she played with his most sensitive part of his body.
Staying in their same positions for a minute or two longer, Hinata shifted her body, and pushed Naruto down onto the bed, and started sliding down Naruto's torso. Trailing kisses along the way, and running her tongue in between each kiss.
"W-what are you-" Naruto trailed off as he suddenly found out exactly what his wife was getting at, as she started sliding her tongue up and down Naruto's member, and occasionally licking the tip of it.
"You've never done.. this before Hinata-chan." Naruto said in a haze of lust.
Pulling her mouth away from Naruto's dick, Hinata just smiled up at him. "Well, I wanted to try something I've been curious about lately." Hinata informed as she resumed what she was doing prior to stopping.
"Well I CERTAINLY like it." Naruto weakly chuckled.
"Good." Hinata replied simply, happy that she seemed to be doing this right, and decided to take him into her mouth. Pushing Naruto's hardened member into her mouth Hinata started bobbing her head up and down repeatedly, causing Naruto to close his eyes to restrain himself from going crazy from the pleasure he was getting at the moment.
A few more minutes, Naruto couldn't take it any longer and reached out with his arms, and pulled Hinata up away from his dick.
Feeling the tugging from Naruto and being forced away from her task at hand, Hinata became worried for a second. "Did.. I do something wrong Naruto-kun?"
Breathing heavily for a moment Naruto chuckled. "Hell no.. I just.. don't think I could of lasted any longer if you continued on." Naruto smiled with his eyes closed.
"Oh. Well in that case." Hinata slyly grinned as she slid away from Naruto, and got out of his grasp so she could get back into her previous position. Once she was there she went back to what she was doing without a moments hesitation.
"Hinata! I.. I can't hold it."
"Mmmhmmm." Hinata moaned as she continued sucking on Naruto's member harder than before.
"S-Shit that feels so.. O-oh god!" Naruto cried out as he felt himself peaking.
Picking up her pace, Hinata started to feel Naruto's member twitching for a moment, and before she knew it she was caught by surprise when a thick load of Naruto's cum surged into her mouth at a fast pace. Quickly snapping herself out of the shock of feeling Naruto's cum in her mouth let alone the amount. Hinata quickly started swallowing as much as she could as she continued to suck Naruto off until he was finished with his orgasm.
Feeling no more of Naruto's cum being released, Hinata slowly pulled his member out of her mouth, and looked up to see Naruto wide eyed.
"Holy shit that.. was hott Hinata-chan." Naruto said in between his panting.
"Mmm I certainly enjoyed it." Hinata smiled as she brought a finger to her mouth to wipe off the rest of the cum that had escaped her mouth as she was sucking off Naruto, and sucked on it after collecting the left overs. "Now-Eeep!" Hinata started to say, but was caught off guard as Naruto flipped her over on her back onto their bed.
"Oh no you don't." Naruto smirked closing the distance between them, and started kissing Hinata once more. Once the kissing started up once more Hinata was in a haze as she suddenly felt Naruto's finger playing with her wet womanhood. Breaking away from the kiss Naruto looked down at Hinata. "God I love you."
"I love you too Naruto-kun. I always have." Hinata responded about as lovingly as she could, considering she was being teased at the moment.
"I know." Naruto smirked, as he doubled his efforts on his attack upon his beautiful wife's womanhood.
"Oh god Naruto-kun. That feels so good." Hinata moaned out before she grabbed onto Naruto's back with her nails. Continuing to play with Hinata's pussy for a few more minutes and with Hinata's moans growing louder and louder and more frequent then the last, Naruto knew that she couldn't last much longer.
Pulling his hand away from Hinata's soaking wet womanhood, Hinata instantly opened her eyes with a questioning and disappointed look, but quickly realized that Naruto was now moving his hips towards her, and carefully adjusting himself to enter her.
With the tip of his dick lined up where he needed it to be, Naruto smirked as he slowly let his head slide past his wife's wet folds, but then shifted his hips to where his head would pop back out before actually getting inside of her, letting him run his length along her wet slit.
"P-please. Enough teasing my love. I-I need you in me." Hinata moaned out as she felt Naruto purposely miss her entrance a few times.
"Are you sure Hinata-chan?" Naruto whispered into his wife's ear, just as he purposely missed her entrance a few more times.
"Y-YES I'M SURE! JUST PLEASE PUT YOUR DICK INSIDE ME!" Hinata moaned out loudly as she grabbed onto Naruto, to try and force him to get inside of her.
"I suppose I can do that." Naruto smugly answered as she plunged his dick into his wife all the way, causing her moan very loudly and her fingernails to dig into Naruto's back even harder at the pleasure that she was instantly given as Naruto started pumping in, and out of her pussy.
"Oh.. my.. god.. Naru..to.. fast..er..." Hinata moaned out with each thrust of her husband.
"God Hinata, your so tight.." Naruto moaned in between his panting as he resumed his thrusts, which was now causing their beds headboard to continuously slam against the wall of their bedroom with each passing thrust of Naruto's hips.
"Faster.. p-please baby.. go.. faster!" Hinata commanded, only to get her wish moments later.
"Hinata-chan... I don't.. I don't think.. oh god.. I can last much longer.." Naruto panted as he started thrusting even harder and faster into Hinata. "God.. you feel.. fucking amazing.." Naruto growled as he watched Hinata's large breasts bouncing up and down as he fucked her.
"Please Naruto-kun.. I need you... to cum for me.. cum inside me.." Hinata panted out as she grabbed onto her large breasts to reduce the amount of bouncing they were doing as Naruto continually pushed inside of her. Letting out very appeasing moans for Naruto as his dick continually assaulted her womanhood.
"Inside?" Naruto asked almost incoherently.
"P-please.." Hinata begged as she leg go of one of her breasts, and grabbed the bed sheets in a tight grip, and started biting her lip. "N-Naruto-kun! I'm cumming!" Hinata screamed out as she felt the beginning of her orgasm taking over her body.
Instantly feeling his wife's vaginal walls tightening around his dick, Naruto knew he was done for at that point, and at the moment he could careless as he felt his own orgasm coming full force as he continued pounding his wife.
"I'm.. Cumming too.. Hinata-chan!" Naruto grunted out as he laid down onto Hinata's stomach to allow him to push himself deeper into his orgasming wife, and laid his head next to Hinata's neck as he started furiously thrusting in, and out even harder.
"Cum for me Naruto-kun! Cum for me, and make me yours!" Hinata cheered on, moaning louder, and louder as Naruto's pace got even faster, and her husbands lungs furiously tried to supply him with enough oxygen to keep him going at his new found pace. Feeling Naruto's member starting to twitch inside of her womanhood knowing he was on the verge of releasing a very large load for her ovaries.
Calling out his love's name once more, Naruto finally released his large load into Hinata's womb, and continued thrusting in and out of Hinata, riding out the massive orgasm he was just now experiencing.
Once finally done riding out their orgasms, both Naruto and Hinata laid next to each other on their bed, hot, sticky, and sweaty from their steamy love making session. "Holy fuck.. that.. was.. amazing.." Naruto panted as he looked over at Hinata's smiling face which he could barely make out in the dark room.
"That it.. was.. my love." Hinata smiled, as she slowly moved her head towards Naruto, giving him sweet loving kiss before laying back down on the bed to calm her own heart rate down.
"I was thinking Hinata-chan." Naruto spoke out after a minute or so of silence. "I think it's time for us to start our family." Naruto smiled as he felt Hinata roll over, and cuddle up next to him.
"I was thinking the same thing." Hinata whispered lovingly. "If you couldn't tell by what just happened." Hinata giggled before kissing Naruto once more before snuggling back up to Naruto.
"Yeah I kind of got the hint." Naruto smirked as he pecked Hinata on the cheek. "I just hope we didn't wake anyone up. You were pretty loud the whole time." Naruto quietly laughed.
Across The Compound
"You think they are done?" Kensei whispered to Hana as they laid on their own bed, who was facing away from her husband with a very large blush on her face. "What's wrong Hana-chan?" Kensei asked worriedly.
"U-uh nothing!" Hana lied as she buried her face into her pillow.
Not buying it for a minute Kensei rolled his wife over to face him. "Out with it." Kensei mockingly demanded.
"I.. had no idea Hinata could be so loud.." Hana looked away still blushing.
"You could actually hear them across the compound?" Kensei asked with an eyebrow raised. "I could only hear a headboard somewhere in the compound hitting a wall, and just barely too.. I figured it was either Naruto and Hinata, or Sasuke and Karin." Kensei laughed. "But if you actually heard Hinata, haha that's rich." Kensei laughed as he laid back down in bed readjusting the covered to the bed on them.
"An acute sense of smell isn't the only thing members of the Inuzuka Clan have Kensei-kun.. surly you remember we have pretty good hearing too.." Hana mumbled as she rolled over to snuggle up to Kensei's body to keep warm.
"I didn't forget." Kensei took in a deep breath, and released it to relax himself further. "Maybe we can actually get some freaking sleep now.." Kensei trailed off as his, and Hana's eyes closed at long last to finally get some sleep, after being kept for a while now by Naruto and Hinata.
Back In Naruto and Hinata's House
"How come I get the feeling Kensei is going to be an issue in the morning?" Naruto wondered aloud as he felt Hinata snuggle up closer to him.
"Mmm.. don't worry about him Naruto-kun. Hana will keep him in line." Hinata whispered back tiredly.
"Your right i suppose. Get some sleep Hinata-chan. I love you." Naruto whispered to Hinata.
"I love you too Naruto-kun. We got a long day ahead of us tomorrow, so you better get some rest too." Hinata replied quietly, feeling the affects of not sleeping yet.
Taking a hold of Hinata's hand that laid atop of Naruto's chest. Naruto just looked at their joined hands, and started playing with the diamond wedding ring that accompanied Hinata's ring finger, and let the moonlight that entered the room hit the diamond causing it to sparkle in the night. After a minute or two of doing so, Naruto started to feel the demand for sleep taking over him, and let his eyes remain close for the night, accepting the well needed rest.
Next Morning
Before everyone knew it, 8:00am came rolling around, much too quickly for Naruto, and Hinata's liking. Groaning as he sat up to stop the alarm from going off any longer, Naruto stretched out and yawned.
"Morning Hinata-chan." Naruto smiled as he looked down to see Hinata slowly opening her eyes.
"Good morning Naruto-kun." Hinata sleepily smiled back. "Let's hurry up, and get dressed. I'll start breakfast as soon as I get downstairs after a shower.." Hinata informed as she slowly moved out of the bed, and made her way to their dresser to get some clothes for the day, and then proceeded to their bathroom.
Staring at his naked wife as she glided across the bedroom, Naruto just sat on the bed with a blank look on his face. "Um... uh.. yeah.. breakfast sounds good." Naruto finally said in a daze.
Giggling at her husbands reaction, Hinata just smirked as she made her way to the bathroom. "Go ahead, and get ready my love." Hinata informed, as she still in all her naked glory, turned around and headed towards Naruto who was still sitting naked on their bed, to give him his good morning kiss, before turning back towards the bathroom.
After taking a quick shower and getting dressed. Hinata emerged from their bathroom to see Naruto looking out of the window of their bedroom fully dressed.
"What are you looking at Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked curiously as she made her way over to him.
"Oh nothing really. Just watching Kensei, Hana, and Hikaru-chan playing out in the front of their house." Naruto answered with a smile as he turned to meet Hinata.
"They must of gotten up early this morning." Hinata smiled back. "I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." Hinata informed before giving Naruto a quick kiss on the lips, and turning away leaving their bedroom.
Turning back to the window, Naruto watched as Hana picked up their 3 year old baby boy laughing as she did so, with Kensei laughing along with her. Smiling once more at the sight of his brother's family happily enjoying their day made Naruto very happy. 'I hope someday soon I will be able to enjoy doing things together with my own little family.' Naruto thought to himself, rethinking about last nights events.
"Might be sooner than I think" Naruto laughed out loud from within the room as he made his way out of the room, and downstairs to the kitchen.
Arriving in the kitchen a few minutes later, Naruto quickly took note of the smells of breakfast being made by Hinata. Sitting down at the kitchen table, Naruto grabbed a scroll he had left on the table the night prior, and opened it up to study it's contents once more.
A few minutes later Hinata looked over from the stove where she was making their breakfast, and saw Naruto reading another one of his many scrolls again.
"Is that the same scroll from last night?" Hinata asked curiously tilting her head cutely.
"Yeah. I didn't finish it before we went to bed last night. It's the latest report from the Juryuu's clansmen who are roaming about right now. It's mainly pertaining to Kumo, and Iwa's standing with the other elemental nations. It seems Iwa is still hell bent on figuring out who snagged the Gobi from Han." Naruto chuckled. "And it also seems that tension between Kumo, and Konoha are still high as ever. Seeing how A is still pissed he can't figure out attacked him, and his village four years ago." Naruto sighed.
Noticing the different tone in which her husband was talking in after bringing up Kumo, and Konoha. Hinata knew something about them was bothering her husband. "Don't be down on yourself Naruto-kun. You know as well as I do, that Kumo has too many issues with not just Konoha, but all of the other elemental nations, long before you three risked your lives to bring Kaa-san back. Also we know that they are still in no shape to declare war on anyone." Hinata smiled lovingly as she walked over to Naruto at the table and gave him a hug from behind.
"I know.. I just still feel like this is my fault seeing how Kensei, Sasuke, and myself were the trigger to all of this crap between Kumo, and Konoha." Naruto stated as he looked back to his scroll deep in thought.
"I know Naruto-kun.. Please don't worry yourself too much over this.. We will just have to wait it out, and see what happens. We will work our way through all of this I promise." Hinata assured. "Is there anything else in the scroll worth noting Naruto-kun?"
"Hmm.. nothing really besides an update on where the Yonbi could possibly be. Other than that not really.." Naruto answered looking back at his wife who started walking back to making breakfast in the kitchen.
"I see.. Well breakfast should be ready any minute now." Hinata smiled as she moved to the refrigerator to grab the milk out of it.
Kensei and Hana's House
"Come on daddy!" A cute little red haired boy called out to his dad, who was trying to get him to race him to the playground in the park.
Walking slowly towards his son. "Awwww come on Hikaru! Daddy's tired..." Kensei groaned weakly in protest.
"But you said you'd swing with me!" The boy pouted.
"I told you, daddy didn't sleep much last night." Kensei sighed, only to get a slap to the back of the head by Hana.
"Stop being such a wuss." Hana informed while sticking her tongue out at him, before breaking away from Kensei's side to catch up with their son.
"H-hey wait up!" Kensei called out to them, and started running after his wife, and three year old son. Who apparently are taking a detour to Naruto and Hinata's house before the park. "Why are we going to Naruto's house?" Kensei asked after catching up to the two of them.
"Because your tired. Hikaru said "If daddy won't play with me then Uncle Naruto will."" Hana quoted as they continued their way to Naruto and Hinata's house.
"Shesh.. I can still manage to play with my own son.." Kensei pouted childishly.
"Oh don't be like that Kensei-kun. You know Hikaru-chan only wants to spend time with the whole family. Besides he hasn't spent that much time with Naruto lately after him and Hinata got married, and all of the times Naruto has had to leave the island on missions." Hana explained to her husband.
"Yeah.. I know.." Kensei agreed unwillingly. "At least this way I can get Naruto back for keeping me up last night." Kensei evilly smirked.
"Now, now.. no destroying anything.. I know how you two get when you are "Sparring" You guys practically destroy anything you touch." Hana warned while waving a finger at him.
"Momma, do you think Uncle Naruto is up yet?" Hikaru asked cutely.
"I am fairly certain he, and Aunt Nata are awake already Hikaru-chan." Hana smiled down at him.
"Goody! I can't wait to play." Hikaru cheered as he started bouncing up, and down as he walked with his parents as they were nearing Naruto and Hinata's front door. Once at the front door, Hikaru looked over at Kensei with large hopeful eyes.
"Sure thing little buddy." Kensei chuckled as he picked up his son, and positioned him at the doorbells level.
After relentlessly ringing the doorbell for a good 10 seconds the small family could hear heavy footsteps storming their way to the front door.
"WHAT THE F-uzzy bunnies?" Naruto trailed off after seeing Hikaru's smiling face with his finger almost about to tap the doorbell button again.
"Hey you guys. Come in, come in. How are you all today?" Naruto asked as he moved out of the door way to let the small family into his home. "Hinata, and I were just finishing up breakfast." Naruto glared at Kensei who looked away innocently.
"Mommy, and Daddy said we can go to the park, and play! Come play with me!" Hikaru cheered as he raised his arms up for his favorite uncle to pick him up, and jumping into Naruto's arms as soon as Naruto was able to catch him.
"I thought I heard a certain red haired boy coming into my house." Hinata smiled as she neared the group in the living room.
"Aunt Nata! We're going to go play! Come with us!" Hikaru smiled happily.
"Are you sure your mommy, and daddy said it was alight Hikaru-chan?" Hinata smiled, and then looked over at Hana who smiled back at her.
"Yup!"
"Sorry little man, but Uncle Naruto, and Aunt Nata have a lot of things to do this morning. Maybe we can stop by, and play later when we aren't busy? Would that be okay?" Naruto asked while looking at his brother, and Hana.
"Of course Naruto, we'd love to have you two over." Hana nodded.
"Awwww.. but I want you guys to come too.. daddy's tired, and doesn't wanna play.." Hikaru whined childishly.
"Well.. daddy wouldn't be tired if certain people weren't so loud last night, and kept me up." Kensei glared at the younger couple in the room, causing both of them to look at him strangely.
"Kensei-kun.. child present." Hana warned her husband while pointing to Hikaru still in Naruto's arms with her head. "Now Hikaru-chan, remember what mommy said before we came over here. Uncle Naruto, and Aunt Nata are very busy today, so we didn't know if they could come with us or not.." Hana explained to their son.
"Yes mommy.." Hikaru pouted.
"Hey don't worry bud, we'll be over tonight to play." Naruto smiled as he poked the boy's stomach, making him giggle before setting back down on the ground.
"Well we better finish cleaning up breakfast. We have to be at the tower in.." Naruto stopped, and looked at the clock that hung on the wall. "Fifteen minutes." Naruto laughed.
"Oh, well we will just see you two tonight then." Hana smiled as she picked her son up.
"Looking forward to it Hana." Hinata smiled back.
"Later you two. Come on Hikaru. Give them hugs, and lets go." Kensei ordered his son, who did as instructed.
"Bye!" Hikaru announced after hugging them both goodbye for now, as Kensei and Hana lead them away from their house and too the park.
"I love that little guy." Naruto chuckled.
"He is quite the little man isn't he?" Hinata giggled.
"Makes you think what our kids are going to be like huh?" Naruto said as he enveloped Hinata in a loving hug.
"Yeah. I guess we will just have to find out, now wont we?" Hinata smiled as she craned her neck upwards giving Naruto a quick kiss on the lips. "We better head out too Naruto-kun." Hinata suggested.
"Yeah, don't wanna keep them waiting." Naruto sighed.
Uzukage Tower
Waiting patiently for Naruto and Hinata to arrive, Tomo was waiting outside of the council room doors for the two to arrive. A couple minutes later, she heard the doors leading toward the council room hallway open, and saw Naruto and Hinata walking hand in hand together smiling as they approached her.
"Good morning you two." Tomo smiled happily at the young red haired couple.
"Good morning Kaa-san." The Naruto, and Hinata replied at the same time.
"They are all waiting inside for you." Tomo explained while nodding towards the door. "Remember Naruto-kun, I'm having you lead this meeting like last time. I'm just sitting back, and filling in for Kensei as the head of our clan while he is off active duty." Tomo informed.
"I know Kaa-san. Don't worry it will go fine." Naruto replied with a smile, and a nod to let her know she can open the doors.
Opening the doors for the couple to enter, Naruto and Hinata quickly saw that all of the island's clan heads were all sitting around the large round table in the council room, and all talking amongst each other waiting for them to arrive.
"Ah good morning everyone." Naruto bowed, with Hinata following suit quietly.
"Good morning." Everyone replied.
"We will begin with attendance." Naruto stated as he pulled out one of the seats at the front of the table for Hinata to sit in, before sitting himself down, and getting a soundless thank you from his wife.
Picking up a pen, and the piece of paper in front of him. Naruto looked up at the room.
"Laxus Susanasu."
"Present." A large blonde haired man dressed in black grunted with his eyes still closed, showing everyone in the room that the lightning bolt scar he had over his right eye in fact went over his eyelid.
"Jin Namen."
"Present." A tall skinny man dressed in a dark blue kimono, with dark hair in a pony tail, and glasses stated, as he adjusted the frames to his face, and .
"Asawa Kinatami"
"Present" A slender attractive woman in her early thirties, dressed in a pink flora kimono, and brown hair smiled at the couple in the front of the room.
"Mugen Ryocuese"
"Yeah I'm here" A man tall man dressed in a red vest, and white t-shirt underneath it grunted, causing his poofy brown hair to fall forward as he leaned on the table in annoyance.
"Mizuiro Juryuu"
"Present" A man in his late twenties dressed in red kimono, with black hair, and black eyes stated.
"And last but not least, filling in temporarily for Kensei Uzumaki. Tomo Uzumaki."
"Present." Tomo smiled softly, seeing Naruto was doing just fine so far.
"Alright, now that attendance has been taken. Mizuiro-sama." Naruto started as he looked towards the head of the Juryuu Clan. "Have any of your clan members had anything new to report back to you on while out in the elemental nations? I haven't gotten the latest update scroll yet." Naruto asked in an even voice.
"I have only received reports from a few of my clansmen who are in Kiri at the moment. They have reported to me that things are starting to settle down in Kiri after Yagura's tyrannical rein. And that the village shows signs of great improvement, after you and Kensei-sama's great battle against Yagura, and the Sanbi that ended quite some time ago. The only other thing that has come to my attention is that Kiri has appointed a new Mizukage. Her name is Mei Terumi, and it appears she was the rebel forces leader, and seems to want what is best for the village." Mizuiro finished explaining.
"Ah yes, I remember a woman of that name when Kensei and I were there looking for a tip off as to where to find the Ryocuse Clan." Naruto mused aloud. "Has there been anything reported back as to possible hostilities Kiri may have towards any of the elemental nations after the take over of a new Mizukage?" Naruto asked seriously.
"No, none that I am aware of. I will notify my clansmen to dig out the information you seek Naruto-sama." Mizuiro informed, getting a nod from Naruto in return.
"Thank you Mizuiro-sama. Now Laxus-sama, can you tell me how the shinobi forces are adapting to the new training regime that they are all being put through?"
"Well, they are doing fine as of right now. Some of them though are taking a little bit longer than the others, adjusting to how hard the training really is, but give them some time and they will all be top notch. That I have no doubt about." Laxus smirked all knowingly.
"I don't doubt your convincing methods one bit." Naruto chuckled. "Now before I pass the floor over to Kaa-san for a moment. Does anyone have anything they'd like to bring up before she starts?" Naruto asked the room, and noticed Asawa's hand slowly raising up.
"Um.. We'd all like to know when you, and Hinata-sama are going to be starting a family of your own. We'd hate to see you two waiting too long." Asawa smiled while looking at Hinata who looked a little put off at the personal question being asked in the middle of a shinobi council meeting.
"Uh.. um.. we.. that is.." Hinata stumbled off, causing everyone in the council room to laugh. Thankfully Naruto cut everyone's laughing off by speaking up, saving his wife from any further embarrassment she was certainly feeling at the moment for stuttering when caught off guard by Asawa's question of popping babies out.
"What she is trying to say is that we will start our family when we feel the time is right. We do have a clan to rebuild, but we don't want to rush anything. Especially with Uzu still being under the radar with possible threats surrounding us. Anyone else have anything else besides babies to ask about?" Naruto chuckled.
"Yeah. When are we going to go out hunting for the other tailed beasts." Mugen yawned without a care in the world.
"Well we are really just waiting for word on the next sighting of the Jinchuriki. I received a possible location as to where the Yonbi is, but unfortunately it's Jinchuriki seems to be a wanderer just like Han and constantly moving. So as soon as we get word, we will set up a team to go retrieve the tailed beast, and if possible the Jinchuriki." Naruto trailed off softly, knowing all too well the hardships a Jinchuriki goes through growing up.
Everyone in the room was silent for a moment, knowing all too well what Naruto meant by his words.
"Anyways.. if the Jinchuriki is possibly in danger by the village he or she is affiliated with then we will offer them a home here in Uzu just like with Gaara." Naruto explained, getting nods from everyone in the room.
"Well just let me know when you get word. You know I just love a good fight." Mugen smirked.
"Don't we all." Asawa rolled her eyes.
"Tch, I can't help it if it's what I'm good at." Mugen scoffed.
"A trained monkey could be just as good at killing as you.." Jin jabbed in, causing Mugen to get a tick mark.
"Startin shit with me again fish face?" Mugen said while standing up.
"Enough. Don't make me come over there." Naruto warned with a heated Rinnegan glare pointed towards them, effectively shutting them up.
"That wont be necessary Naruto-sama." Jin said in a calm tone, even though he was in fact a little nervous about Naruto following through with his threat.
"Mugen. Sit." Naruto ordered the still standing Clan head.
"Fine..." Mugen slowly sat down while still glaring at Jin who had an impassive look on his face, not even caring about him glaring at him.
"Kaa-san. If you would." Naruto gestured for her to take over.
"Thank you Naruto-kun." Tomo nodded with a smile. "Now everyone we need to talk about somethings that are very important to our village. I'd like to propose the possibility of starting an alliance with Kiri if they are now stable, and willing to go through with it." Tomo explained.
"I would be alright with it, as long as the new Mizukage understands and acknowledges it's wrongs in participating in the attack which caused our beloved village to fall in the past." Mizuiro explained.
"I agree. I don't want us becoming allies with a country who sees nothing wrong with crippling a country just because others want to. We all know Kiri feared us for many different reasons. Mainly because we are so close to them, and have the same goods to offer for the most part. So not only was it a militaristic fear, but an economic fear. They preyed on the chance at becoming more powerful, and richer." Naruto added in, getting many nods from the other clan leaders.
"I agree with Naruto-sama. If they are willing to play ball, and admit what they did was wrong, and are willing to ally themselves with us I see no problem with it." Laxus stated.
"Very well. We will wait for a month or two to let the village settle further, and approach the subject when the time comes." Tomo suggested. "Now how are the children doing at the academy? I am curious as to how the first batch of genin do coming out of it." Tomo smiled.
"They are doing very well Tomo-sama." Asawa chided in, with the others nodding their heads in agreement.
"Lovely." Tomo smiled, happy to hear that. "Naruto has something he's brought with him for us to discuss today. So I'll hand the floor back to him."
"Thank you Kaa-san. Okay everyone. I have received word from one of Jiraiya's contacts that the tension between Konoha, and Kumo is at an all time high. With possible war on the horizon between the two for so long now, we need to start planning for what we can do to either quell the tension between the two countries, or what we can do to keep this possible war from getting out of hand."
"Obviously Uzu has not announced itself as an independent nation yet for several reasons, but if the flags of war are risen, then that wont matter any longer as we are technically in between the two countries. Any suggestions on what we should possibly do?" Naruto asked the room.
After two hours of discussing the issues between Kumo, and Konoha. Everyone was dismissed to go about their day, and clan duties. Naruto and Hinata stayed behind to talk to Tomo for a bit after she requested the two to stay a little longer.
"You did very well Naruto-kun." Tomo praised as she gave him a motherly hug.
"Thank you Kaa-san." Naruto smiled, but sighed after she released him from the hug.
"What is it Naruto-kun?" Tomo asked worryingly.
"Oh it's nothing really to worry about Kaa-san. I'm just thinking about everything that has happened in the past couple years." Naruto explained while rubbing his shoulder.
"Like what Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked curiously.
"Well, you remember what the perv said about the Akatsuki a while back, and how they are searching for the tailed beasts too. I'm just worried that we aren't getting any reports on where they or their Jinchuriki are at, because the Akatsuki might possibly already have them." Naruto sighed. "A part of me feels sad that they are out there in possible danger, and not knowing where they are at.. kinda weird huh?" Naruto chuckled.
"Showing compassion towards something you technically created isn't strange Naruto." Kurama voice into his head.
'I guess so, I just really wish we could find them already...'
"In time Naruto.. In time you will be able to find them." Kurama added before becoming silent once more.
"I don't think it's weird at all Naruto-kun." Hinata assured while taking his hand in hers.
"I agree." Tomo nodded with a smile. "So.. I gotta ask this..." Tomo became serious for a moment. "Was that you two up last night making all of that noise, or was that Sasuke, and Karin again?" Tomo said in a serious voice, causing Naruto and Hinata to blanch.
"Uh.. must of been S-sasuke, and Karin again?" Naruto chuckled, while Hinata blushed, and looked away, but looked back at Tomo when she gasped loudly.
"Oh! You two are going to bless me with another grandchild! EEEEY! I can't wait!" Tomo squealed while grabbing the two into an inescapable hug.
"K-kaa-san.. can't.. breath.." Naruto gasped out from lack of air.
"Ops.. sorry you two." Tomo chuckled nervously. "Try to keep it down in the middle of the night from now on though, okay you two?" Tomo winked towards Hinata, before exiting the council room, leaving the two by themselves in the large room.
"Well that was awkward.." Naruto laughed.
"Y-yeah.. Now that I think about it.. I may of left the window open last night Naruto-kun." Hinata informed with her head down in embarrassment.
"Oh boy.." Naruto laughed, as he pulled Hinata out of the room. "Come on Hinata-chan, let's go into the village for a bit. Maybe we could start that garden you wanted to make today?" Naruto suggested, and watched his wife's face brighten up at the sound of that.
"I thought you'd like that." Naruto chuckled as they made their way out of the council room, and stopped in his soon to be office. Opening the door, the two saw Tomo sitting behind the desk of the office looking over some papers she had to sign.
Hearing the door to the office open up, Tomo looked up at the two.
"We're going to be in the village for a little bit, then we'll back at our home if you need either of us." Naruto informed.
"Okay, have fun you two." Tomo waved them off as she went back to the paperwork at hand.
Shutting the door behind them as the continued their trek out of the Uzukage tower, Naruto and Hinata slowly made their way to the village's shopping district.
Elsewhere in Uzu
Currently out in the northern forest on a peaceful walk, Uzu's recently engaged Sasuke Uchiha, and Karin Uzumaki were currently enjoying the scenery as they walked along in the peaceful forest to get away from everything, just enjoying each others company.
"So how long do you think it will be before you have to go back out on another mission Sasuke-kun?" Karin asked her fiance curiously, knowing full well that it could be anytime now.
"I honestly don't know Karin-chan." Sasuke answered while looking over at his long red haired fiance who was dressed in her Uzu shinobi outfit just like Kensei, and Naruto would always wear, similar to the one he was wearing as well, with the exception that his had the Uchiha crest sewn into the back in place of the Uzumaki crest.
"You don't think you, and Naruto are going to be sent out on another mission to retrieve another one of the tail beasts though right?" Karin asked with her voice full of worry.
"Karin-chan, you need to stop worrying so much about that. I know when Naruto came back from dealing with the Gobi, and Han you were really shaken up, but that doesn't mean you need to start doubting me, yourself, and everyone's abilities." Sasuke explained. "We are trying to create peace among everyone, but in order to do so we need to take measures to where everyone understands each other. Well.. at least by what Naruto has said." Sasuke chuckled.
"I'm sorry.. I never meant to come across as doubting everyone.. I just worry is all." Karin admitted.
"Hey now.. it's fine." Sasuke assured while tugging her hand upwards, and giving the back of it a gentle kiss, making Karin blush.
After walking some more in silence for a good 10 minutes, Sasuke spoke up again.
"So Naruto has been told by Jiraiya that "he" is in the Akatsuki." Sasuke stated simply as he kept his eyes forward to where he was walking.
"I see." Karin responded quietly while looking at the ground sadly. "What are you going to do Sasuke-kun?" Karin questioned quietly.
"I will do what I have to do." Sasuke answered quickly, saddening Karin further.
Looking over at his fiance, Sasuke pulled her into a quick hug. "But don't worry about that either. Naruto, and I have been planning for a while now with what to do with Itachi. I have too many things here that are precious to me that I am not going to lose, just because I need to get rid of him." Sasuke assured, tightening the embrace, and getting Karin to nod her head in return.
"I won't be leaving to take him on until Naruto, and I have a clear shot at taking him down. Now, how about we get back to the village?" Sasuke asked trying to cheer his fiance up.
"I don't mind, whatever you want to do. Seeing how your training buddies are all busy, your stuck with me." Karin replied as she stuck her tongue out at Sasuke, trying to lighten her mood up a bit.
"You make it sound like I don't like being around you." Sasuke pouted.
"If it were four years ago I'd probably think that too, but... seeing where we are now. Your just going to have to deal with me." Karin smiled, and stuck her tongue out again childishly.
"You make it seem like it's a bad thing." Sasuke laughed. "Come on, maybe we can meet up with Kensei, Hana, and Hikaru. I'm sure Hikaru will put you in a better mood." Sasuke suggested knowing that the little boy cheers up anyone he's around. Especially his family.
"That sounds nice. I think Hana said they were going to the park this morning, maybe we should see if they ar-ooop" Karin was caught off guard by Sasuke picking her up, and vanishing from the forest in a swirl of flames smirking the whole time.
Konoha, Hokage Tower
After traveling for the better part of a few weeks, all while checking in on his spy network. Jiraiya was back in Konoha, to check out and see what the latest news in the village was. Walking past the Hokage's secretary without a care in the world, Jiraiya made his was up towards Hiruzen's office. Getting to the office doors, Jiraiya knocked twice before entering.
Once inside, Jiraiya quickly notice he walked into Kakashi's team's debriefing. "Ah.. sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt." Jiraiya chuckled nervously.
"Ah Jiraiya nice to see you again." Hiruzen tiredly greeted. "You guys are dismissed." Hiruzen ordered, getting a nod from the silver haired Jounin and his team who then headed to the door quietly.
After Kakashi's team left the room, Hiruzen stood up from his seat, and stretched his tired back.
"Sensei, I come bringing news for you." Jiraiya said simply as he made his way over to his favorite window in the office.
"What news would this be Jiraiya? Good news I hope" Hiruzen chuckled curiously.
"Well how about you tell me first how things have been treatin ya here? You don't seem to be dead yet, so I'll take it as things aren't too bad." Jiraiya laughed.
"Yes.. well things here in the village are borderline alright I suppose. With tensions running high between Kumo, and ourselves.. the village seems to be running on stress, and fear. The villagers are starting to realize that they now longer have the luxury of an all around peaceful life style like they once had several years ago." Hiruzen explained sadly.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Jiraiya stated simply while looking down on the village.
"So how have you been doing in your travels Jiraiya?" Hiruzen asked curiously.
"I've been doing alright, getting some research done for my next book so I can't complain much." Jiraiya chuckled, and got his sensei to even chuckle along with him. "Anyways this news I have for you may, or may not be good for you.." Jiraiya trailed off.
"I feared that was the case."
"Kumo seems to be getting back on their feet after the incident four years ago. A the Raikage is still hell bent on finding the ones who caused his village harm, even after not being able to find a shred of evidence other than "They looked like Senju's" To me this seems to be completely stupid in all honesty." Jiraiya explained.
"I agree. We honestly didn't have anything to do with the attack on Kumo, but yet they are certain that we are the ones behind the attack." Hiruzen sighed, and went back to his desk to retrieve his pipe.
"How is the village doing with the news of war possibly getting closer?" Jiraiya asked looking back towards the Hokage.
"About as good as they ever will be I suppose. As you know we either are at war, and we deal with it as it comes, or we are in a time of peace. Well at least that's how it usually has been for us in the past. But now with this four year time period of unrest, and uncertainty.. the shinobi aren't as focused as they should be. I worry especially for the younger generations of shinobi.. they have yet to experience war in their life time."
"I see. Well, hopefully something can be done to put Kumo into place before things really get out of hand. I don't think I could survive a war in my age now." Jiraiya laughed, but let it slowly die down. "Listen sensei.. I've been told that Kumo now has both it's Jinchuriki able to use the beasts chakra. If there is something I can do to help I want you to know I'll try my best in doing so."
"Thank you Jiraiya. That's all this old man could ever ask for." Hiruzen smiled.
"Well I better be on my way." Jiraiya stretched his arms out before looking back at the Hokage.
"Leaving so soon?" Hiruzen asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah. I need to meet up with a few more contacts here in the land of fire before heading westwards. I'll be in the village until tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to stop by before heading out." Jiraiya informed before hopping out of the window and leaping across the roof tops to his next destination.
Hyuga Compound
After a few minutes of hopping across rooftops, Jiraiya landed on the ground in front of the gates to the Hyuga complex. Walking towards the guards Jiraiya nodded to the two of them.
"I have a meeting with Hiashi." Jiraiya lied smoothly as if he even needed to.
Not wanting to argue with the Toad Sage the two branch members quickly bowed, and granted him entrance to their compound. Walking through the complete at a leisurely pace, Jiraiya was taking in the sights of the noble clan's compound as he searched for Hiashi's office, and quickly started noticing numerous Hyuga females all looking at him, and giggling to each other.
'Hyuga women! Gotta love em! The girls are always hott, and pretty much look the same! Get two together, and its like being with twins! I LOVE TWINS!' Jiraiya thought happily in his head before stopping suddenly in his tracks. 'Oh god.. If Naruto was around.. I'm sure I'd be dead for even thinking that.. How could I forget Hinata is a Hyuga..' Jiraiya shivered momentarily before continuing his way to Hiashi's office at an even slower pace now.
Finally reaching the clan head's office, Jiraiya knocked on the door a few times, awaiting a response.
"Who is it?" A voice called out from inside.
"Jiraiya." Jiraiya called back.
"You may enter." Hiashi replied quickly.
Opening the door and closing it behind him, Jiraiya walked up to the clan heads desk and took a seat in front of the man.
"Jiraiya, what an honor it is to have you in my home. I wasn't expecting a visit from you." Hiashi said with questions rolling through his mind as to why he was here.
"I have news from Naruto and Hinata." Jiraiya said simply, causing the head of the Hyuga to become very interesting in the topic at hand.
"Go on."
"Well, I have been traveling around meeting up with my contacts, and the land of fire was next on my list so I figured I'd pop by, and give you an update on everyone." Jiraiya explained simply while shrugging his shoulders.
"Are they alright? Where are they?" Hiashi quickly asked, happy to hear they are doing alright.
"They are fine of course, you got my messenger toad right?" Jiraiya asked, getting a nod from Hiashi in return. "Well then you know that they officially have gotten married now." Jiraiya smiled.
"Yes I heard, I'm very happy for my eldest daughter. I trust Naruto is taking good care of her?" Hiashi asked sternly towards the sannin.
"Oh my yes. They are very happy, same with Kensei and Hana. So if you see Tsume, pass along the message about them too please. I unfortunately don't have time to stop by everyone's place to tell them the news. Anyways Naruto and Hinata, well mainly Naruto.. wanted to let everyone know that they are fine, and that they are still keeping their location a secret until a later time. Too many hostilities may come towards them if they reveal where they are at now." Jiraiya finished explaining.
"I see. Thank you, I will pass along the message to Tsume."
"Oh! One more thing." Jiraiya said as he rummaged through his coat for something. "Give this to Tsume. Tell her to hide it from everyone until Naruto, and Kensei come out in the open." Jiraiya explained as he handed Hiashi a photograph.
Looking at the picture, Hiashi smiled seeing that it was a picture of a small red haired boy smiling widely for the camera.
"His name is Hikaru, as you may of guess. Hikaru is Kensei, and Hana's little boy." Jiraiya smiled.
"I will be sure to pass this along to her today. I'm sure it will cheer her up greatly knowing that she is a grandmother of such a cute boy." Hiashi chuckled.
"Thanks. Well I better get going." Jiraiya announced as he stood up. "Catch ya later. I'll send along anything else I manage to get permission to pass along to you."
"You have my thanks. If you see Naruto, and Hinata. Please tell them I wish them well." Hiashi smiled sadly for a moment before Jiraiya body flickered out of the compound.
Looking back down at the picture in his hand, Hiashi couldn't help but chuckle at the little red haired boy. "He certainly is a cute little boy." Hiashi mused to himself before reaching into his desk, and finding a sealing scroll to put the photograph into for transport.
Arriving away from the Hyuga Compound, Jiraiya just smiled to himself after finishing what he set out to do. "Nothing left to do but get some research time in!" Jiraiya laughed as he started walking towards the nearest woman's bath house.
Unknown Location
In a dark damp cave, a group of astral figures all standing atop of an odd looking statue, all of which have been conversing in some way, or another for a while now. If one was to spy on the meeting at hand between the strange group, you could instantly tell that they were either all pissed off at something.. or just plain annoyed. No matter what way you look at the situation.. you certainly didn't want to be there at the moment.
"It also seems someone else is trying to get in our way of acquiring all of the tailed beasts." A figure with spiky hair, and Rinnegan eyes stated to the other projected figures.
"Yes.. First Orochimaru, and now some unknown is out searching for them as well. Not to mention we have lost the trail of the Ichibi, Sanbi, and Gobi. And then there is the Kyubi which has been gone for four years now." A figure that seemed to look like a venus fly trap explained.
"What if the fucker holding the Kyubi died? That should explain why he ain't around right?" One with a three bladed scythe suggested in an annoyed tone. Clearly not wanting to be stuck in this meeting right now.
"It is a possibility, but I am not willing to accept that the Kyubi Jinchuriki has been killed just yet. There are far too many unknowns at this time, and that are needing further investigation, until I have proof that the Kyubi's Jinchuriki has been killed I won't stop us from looking for it."
"It don't matter to me really as long as Samehada gets to suck out some tailed beast chakra sometime soon. Just give the word, and Itachi and I will shred the first tailed beast we get too. Ain't that right partner?" A large man with a rectangular sword strapped to his back asked, but got no reply from his "Partner" Itachi.
"Enough. I believe now is the time for us to make our move to gather the Jinchuriki as quickly as possible, and extract the beasts from them sealing their chakra into the statue. We of the Akatsuki have been idle long enough, and will not be out done by some unknown, or an ex-member who is trying to be a thorn in our sides. We will find the missing tailed beasts, and extract their chakra when the time comes. I want each of you to scour the lands for clues as to where the other Jinchuriki are hiding. I expect results." Pain demanded with authority.
"Yes Pain-sama." Most of the figures responded, before one by one flickering out of existence in the cave.
"Itachi." The one known as Pain called out before the Sharingan wielder of the room faded away. "I want you, and Kisame to follow the report of the Jinchuriki in Taki." Pain ordered before he, and the woman figure beside him faded away leaving Itachi alone now.
"Taki huh?" Itachi mused aloud to himself before sighing. Seeing he was the only one in the room still there he let his tired mind wander a bit to the one thing he still held dear in his life unknown to others. 'Sasuke.. what happened to you that made you leave the village..?'
(Authors Notes)
Okay everyone that is it for chapter 28 :D How was it? I think it came out great, and I know i have said this in the past, but I will say it again. This chapter was actually the most fun chapter to write for this story to date. I've been waiting to do a Naru/Hina lemon for this story, and I'm sure you all were waiting for it as well lol. So as you may of guessed already, Naruto and Hinata will have many fluffy moments to come. And there are a ton of things happening on the horizon of the story as it progresses. People will die.. oh yes they will die.. enemies will be ripped apart in a cringe worthy way. And all of the elemental nations will shiver in fear as the once greatly feared country of Uzu declares themselves an active shinobi force once more, seeking what they had lost at the beginning of the third great shinobi war. Also I believe this chapter just put my story over 300k words. Happy day! :D STAY TUNED, AND REVIEW MY MINIONS!
