Next Morning
Naruto and his group got up early as they were ready to go. Everyone soon packed their things as they were set to leave.
"Alright everyone. We had a very productive training session and I am happy that everyone is doing well. The Chunin exams begin in two days so let's hurry back for at least one day of rest then we will do the exams," Naruto told them. Everyone nodded as they sealed all of their supplies. Everyone was ready to go as they began to walk away, but were stopped by a voice.
"I don't get a goodbye," Mei said to Naruto. Naruto chuckled as he turned to Mei.
"No Mei, you get a 'see you later'. I wouldn't be a good fiance if I didn't visit you," Naruto old her. Mei chuckled with a slight blush as she nodded.
"Alright Naruto-kun. I hope to see you soon," Mei told him. Naruto nodded as everyone soon henged their appearances and ran off, leaving the rebels and Mei in the mist.
With Naruto and his group
Everyone ran for a few minutes as Naruto judged the distance between them and the rebels. Naruto nodded as he felt it was safe enough.
"Alright Yagura, you can come out," Naruto told him. Yagura soon appeared from the mist as he bowed.
"Hello Naruto-sama," Yagura said to him. Everyone was quite surprised, but Shizune explained.
"He is our new ally everyone. Get along with him," Shizune told them. Everyone nodded as they welcomed Yagura into the group. As everyone ran, Naruto soon placed a chakra restriction seal on Yagura making everyone look at him. Naruto chuckled as he turned to them.
"I don't need Konoha finding another jinchuuriki and giving unwanted questions. So for now I want Yagura to stay in the house," Naruto stated. Everyone nodded as they all picked up the pace and sprinted home. Naruto soon turned to Kushina who had a small smile on her face.
"Why are you happy right now Kaa-san?" Naruto asked her, drawing everyone's attention to her. Kushina blushed from the embarrassment as she softly chuckled.
"I can't wait to talk to Sarutobi about this little greeting between you and me. I also have a few choice word for the council who think it is okay to lie to me about my son," Kushina said to them all with the biggest smile on her face. Everyone soon backed up a bit as Naruto looked into the sky.
"Man, even I don't want to be in that kind of situation," Naruto said to himself as they passed the familiar islands that came into view.
Back In Konoha
Hiruzen continued to do his paperwork as he sighed from the boredom. Suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine as he shivered.
"Why do I have the feeling that I might die today?" Sarutobi wondered as he continued his paperwork in a more cautious state.
With Sasuke, Sakura, and Ino
All three walked the streets of Konoha as Sasuke got the usual treatment of compliments from civilians and shinobi alike. Sasuke smirked as he couldn't wait to show the dobe how much he had improved in the month. He was going to make the dobe bow at his feet as he showed him what true power was. Sasuke seemed to be more interactive with Sakura and Ino as they at least proved their usefulness to him.
"So Sasuke-kun, what do you want to do?" Sakura asked him. Sasuke sighed as he adopted a thinking pose. Ino seemed curious to his answer until he smirked.
"Not really sure, but I guess I will rest for these two days. You two can do whatever you want," Sasuke said with a shrug of his shoulders as he walked off. Sakura and Ino stared at each other as they smiled. Both ran after Sasuke as they continued their walk. Sasuke soon stopped as he looked to his right. Sasuke smirked as he saw the Suna siblings apparently shopping together, or forced shopping on Gaara's part. Sasuke soon walked up as he made his presence known to the siblings.
"Well if it isn't the other loser competitors of the Chunin Exams," Sasuke said as Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro turned to him. Gaara took in a glance and simply turned his head, not interested in what the arrogant Uchiha had to say. Temari narrowed her eyes as she wondered if 'accidently' killing a competitor would get her kicked out of the Chunin Exams. Kankuro showed a face of indifference as he tried his best to ignore the duck haired boy.
"Well if it isn't the royal Uchiha. To what do we owe the unpleasant honor of your presence?" Kankuro asked him as they continued to look around at the various ninja tools in a weapons shop. Sasuke narrowed his eyes as he soon smirked.
"I thought I might get to see what I might be facing, but I guess it isn't much," Sasuke told them like it was a fact. Temari grew a tick mark wanting to kill the Uchiha, but was stopped by Gaara which surprised her.
"Seeing as how you got your ass kicked by Naruto Uzumaki, I think you have bigger things than us for the Chunin exams," Gaara said in a mono tone. Sasuke seethed as he heard the snicker of Kankuro and Temari, much to the annoyance of Ino and Sakura.
"Oh please, Sasuke-kun is the best. It's obvious that he let Naruto win since he has won too many matches in his lifetime," Sakura said with a triumphant grin. Temari rubbed the bridge between her nose as she now understood the reason as to why kunoichi weren't taken seriously as shinobi.
"She really has no right at all to say that, considering she got bet in 10 minutes or less by Shizune, which was quite funny if I do say so myself," Temari thought as a smile came across her face.
"So what do you want Uchiha besides to annoy the mess out of us?" Kankuro asked as the group of six roamed the village. Sasuke thought over Kankuro's question as he closed his eyes.
"I just wanted to see who my future competition is. I doubt that the dobe is going to make it very far," Sasuke said with another arrogant smirk. Gaara rolled his eyes as he wondered in he could get Shukaku to kill the Uchiha in his sleep. Everyone walked in silence as Gaara stopped. Everyone soon stopped also as Gaara turned to Sasuke.
"Listen here okay. I could care less about you or these damn fangirls that you keep around you, but you can't badmouth those who are obviously stronger than you. Naruto Uzumaki, Shizune Kato, and lots of other are more powerful than you will ever be with that arrogant attitude of yours. You think that copying everything you see makes you special, well it doesn't. It makes you turn into a slacker. That is what you are Uchiha, you are a slacker, whose only good point is having a semi-powerful dojutsu. Now get out of my sight before I kill you," Gaara said as he, Temari, and Kankuro vanished. Sasuke seethed as he continued to walk through the village.
"The dobe? Stronger than me? No way in hell. I merely slipped up in that fight and he knows it. Now way the dobe can beat me," Sasuke said as he, Sakura, and Ino went to the Uchiha compound.
With Naruto and his group, 6 hours later
Everyone had just passed the last island as Naruto reminisced about him acquiring his summons. Everyone raced as they finally reached land. Everyone took a quick break as they stopped moving.
"Are we making any good time Naruto-kun?" Kushina asked her son as he smirked.
"Yeah we should be back by late evening. The village will still be up at that time," Naruto told her. Everyone nodded as their break ended. Everyone soon took to the trees as they ran back to the village. Naruto was happy with what he had accomplished in the month. Naruto had gotten some new allies, he found his mother, he got his personal summons and he was nearly finished with the Hiraishin. Naruto gave a dark smirk at his accomplishments as he thought about the downfall of Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke you will die and I will be the one to accomplish it," Naruto said to himself as his group ran through the trees at an amazing pace.
Konoha, Nighttime
The Gates of Konoha came into view as Naruto and his group finally made it home, though the thought of returning the Konoha every time made Naruto puke as he couldn't stand the place. Everyone managed to get Yagura past the gate guards as they all got to the Namikaze compound.
Namikaze Compound
Naruto and everyone sighed as they opened and closed the door. The living room was filled with people as everyone sat down from the long day of running back to the village.
"Finally home, though this type of home makes me sick," Anko said as she referred to Konoha. Everyone nodded as Naruto showed Yagura around the house. Naruto took Yagura to his new room as Yagura got settled in. He didn't have any real luggage with him so it was relatively easy to settle in for him.
"I hope you enjoy your stay here Yagura. I was also hoping you could teach Zabuza and Haku some of your suiton techniques," Naruto told him. Yagura nodded as he set his stuff down.
"Yes Naruto-sama, I would be honored to," Yagura told him. Naruto nodded as he closed the door and allowed Yagura to take in the new room and new home. Naruto soon reentered the living room to see Zabuza, Haku, and Kushina resting on the floor and couch.
"So Kaa-san how does it feel to be home?" Naruto told her. Kushina smirked as she turned to her son.
"In all truth, it is a mixed feeling Naruto-kun. I can't help, but be made at the village for what they did to you and for what they are going to do in the future, but it was the place that Minato always said was the nicest place one could find in the elemental nations," Kushina told him. Naruto nodded with only a slight understanding, but an understanding nonetheless.
"I understand Kaa-san. When I think back I found myself thinking back to my past, I always thought that this place was always worth saving, but after my previous life I have come to highly doubt it," Naruto told her. Kushina nodded with a slight frown, but before she got up.
"Alright Naruto-kun. Please take me to Sarutobi," Kushina told him with a smile on her face as she polished one of her favorite swords. Naruto slightly gulped as he hoped she wouldn't kill his Jiji. Naruto knew Sarutobi made mistakes in the past, but he did try to make up for it by being there for him. That was why he wanted to save Sarutobi also. Naruto soon nodded as he got up also. He then made his way to the door as he turned to the others in the room.
"Alright me and Kaa-san will be gone for a bit. Everyone get a good night's rest," Naruto told them. Everyone nodded as they watched Naruto and Kushina disappear.
With Naruto and Kushina
Both ran across the rooftops of Konoha as they marveled at the lights that made the village look quite beautiful.
"It seems that even beauty has an ugly side," Naruto said to himself. Unknown to him, Kushina nodded in agreement. Naruto looked to his left as a scowl, that wasn't missed by Kushina, appeared across his face as he saw Sasuke roam the village.
"So that is Mikoto's child," Kushina thought as she sighed.
"You must be turning in your grave Mikoto," Kushina said silently as they soon arrived at the Hokage Mansion.
Hokage Mansion
Naruto soon henged his appearance as he appeared in his thirteen year old form. Kushina chuckled as she saw what her son looked like as a kid. Both soon entered as the attendant scowled at Naruto.
"What do you want demon?" She asked him. Naruto shivered as he felt the KI roll off of Kushina as she heard the woman's question. Naruto managed to hold Kushina back as he decided he wanted to get this over with.
"I have to meet with the Hokage. Is he in?" Naruto asked her. The woman smirked as she looked at him.
"No I am afraid he isn't. Come back tomorrow or better yet, don't come back and just die," She told him. Kushina's anger flared as she swung her sword at the woman. Kushina smirked as she sliced off the lock of hair from the hair on the woman's head as the woman gasped.
"Well you don't mind if I go check," Kushina said as she went up the stairs with Naruto following her. Both walked up the stairs as Naruto looked to se Kushina ball up a fist.
"I could kill that woman. Is this really the Konoha that Minato loved so much?" Kushina wondered as Naruto placed his hand over hers.
"It's alright Kaa-san. I don't let it get to me much and you shouldn't either. Besides she is going to get hers," Naruto told her with a smile. Kushina's anger fell slightly with a nod as they finished the stairs. Kushina smirked as she kicked the door open surprising Sarutobi and Jiraiya who were in the room. Naruto could only chuckled as he saw Jiraiya turn pale and Sarutobi have a face of shock.
"Hello Jiraiya, Hello Sarutobi," Kushina said to them. Both broke from the shock as they turned to Naruto. Naruto nodded with a smile.
"Yep I found Kaa-san," Naruto told them as they turned back to Kushina who was slowly walking up to them with a steadily rising KI.
"Please tell me why I wasn't informed that my son was alive and in the village," Kushina said getting right to the point. Sarutobi sighed as he looked at Kushina.
"G-Good to see you Kushina. Now I understand that you are quite angry, but even I didn't think that Naruto survived the extraction process and so I told you what I knew. When it was confirmed differently, I couldn't find you. You completely disappeared without a lead or a trace so that we could find you," Sarutobi said to her. Kushina slightly softened at his words as she turned her gaze to Jiraiya.
"And you, why weren't you there for Naruto-kun when I wasn't?" She asked him. She remembered her and Minato's talk with Jiraiya about Naruto and him being his godfather. Jiraiya nearly fell silent as he tried to speak.
"K-Kushina, I had the spy network to run. I didn't have the time to look after the Gaki," Jiraiya told her. Naruto soon muttered something to himself that Kushina and Jiraiya caught.
"You probably would have found the time for me if it wasn't for your 'research'," Naruto said to himself. Sarutobi and Kushina turned to Jiraiya as they both gave him a blank stare. Kushina sighed as she took out her polished sword.
"Okay Jiraiya, how would you like to die? Nice and quick, or slow and very very painful," Kushina asked him as Jiraiya gulped back up against the wall.
"I would rather not die at all Kushina. Look I am sorry, but I wanted to make it up to Naruto, but he wouldn't let me," Jiraiya told her. Naruto scoffed as he looked at Jiraiya.
"You said you would help me training summoning toads and would let me sign the toads contract, but that won't help me win the Chunin exams. Plus I have reason to believe that you would only be training me in controlling the Kyuubi's chakra," Naruto told him and by the look on Jiraiya's face, he hit the nail right on the head. Jiraiya sighed as he looked at Naruto.
"Naruto the toads, snakes, and the slugs are considered some of the most powerful of the summons in the entire shinobi lands. Even if you did find your own summons contract, I doubt that they would be as strong as the toads," Jiraiya told him. Kushina looked at Naruto as she along with her son mentally laughed. Truth be told, Naruto couldn't sign the toads contract even if he wanted to, which he didn't. He already had his summons and they were considered more powerful than the toads, snakes, and slugs. Naruto sighed as he turned to the door.
"I said no Jiraiya and that is final. I don't need your training or your contract," Naruto told him as he soon left. Kushina sighed as she turned to the two of them.
"It's late, so I will leave for right now, but our talk is far from over," Kushina said as she headed for the door. Kushina soon stopped as she turned to Sarutobi.
"Oh and Hiruzen," Kushina said gaining his attention.
"I suggest you fire that bitch of a secretary you have. I won't have people talking about my Naruto-kun in this manner," Kushina said as she closed the door to his office. Sarutobi and Jiraiya slumped in their spots as they continued to stare at the door.
"I am getting too old for this damn job," Sarutobi said as he wondered when he should resign as hokage. Jiraiya sighed as he wondered if he could ever get Naruto to like him as a godfather.
With Naruto and Kushina
Kushina soon caught up with Naruto as they walked in silence. Naruto was too preoccupied with his thoughts to notice the worried expression his mother had on her face. After a few minutes of silence, Naruto was brought out of his thoughts by his mother's voice.
"Are you alright Naruto-kun?" Kushina asked him. Naruto sighed as he tried his best to smile.
"I am fine Kaa-san, just in too much thought over that little meeting. I always wonder how Jiraiya is so laid back with how he should have been with me. I had no one, but Jiji to look after me. I can forgive Tsunade, only because she was, and still is, going through a rough time dealing with Konoha. I can forgive that as I know how the loss of those you love affects you," Naruto told her. Kushina nodded in agreement as she gave Naruto a small hug.
"Well I am here now Naruto-kun. I am happy that I have found my son after so many years. I plan on making up for the lost time," Kushina told him. Naruto chuckled with a nod as both walked through Konoha and back to the house. Kushina glared at any of the civilians who had the gall to stare at her son with disgust and hatred in their eyes. Naruto soon smirked as he turned to his mother.
"You wanna play a prank Kaa-san?" Naruto asked her. Kushina turned to her son and smirked with a nod as she bent down and had Naruto whisper in her ear. Kushina smirked at the idea as she wondered how her son could have such a devious plan. Naruto and Kushina soon sprinted off as they landed on the top of a restaurant. Naruto wrapped some wire around Kushina as she had a bottle in intense smelling salts as Naruto lowered her down into the kitchen. Kushina smirked as she threw the salts into the food storage as she dumped it all over the food. The restaurant was closed as there wasn't any security around, so it was easy. Having done the job, both soon left the restaurant as Naruto took a permanent marker as he and Kushina stealthily entered a famous weapons shop. Naruto smirked as he wrote over the items as he and Kushina left. Both had a good time as they decided on one last thing to give the people of Konoha some chaos. Naruto and Kushina found a store that sold Jiraiya perverted book as they took every copy of every finished work he made that they could get their hands on. Naruto and Kushina soon placed each book at people's doorstep as they finished off all the houses in Konoha. Naruto told Kushina to avoid Kazuya's house as he was quite special to Naruto. Naruto also avoided Iruka and Kurenai's place as they were special to him also. Both soon finished as they laughed. Both raced on the rooftops as they soon came home.
"I can't wait for tomorrow," Kushina said to him. Naruto nodded with a smile as he opened the door. Kushina soon passed him as she smirked.
"That was an interesting first date Naruto-kun," Kushina said as she left. Naruto paused as he took in her words. A slight blush came across his face as he smiled.
"Wow, never saw it like that, but I won't complain," Naruto said to himself as he entered the house. Both could tell that everyone was asleep as they decided to turn in also. Kushina said a quick goodbye to Naruto as he returned the action. Both soon went their separate ways as they went to sleep as they awaited tomorrow.
