Sage's Inheritance

The Beginning of New Lives! Fifth Hokage Becomes a Teacher!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Previously on Sage's Inheritance,

"So girls," Naruto said to the tried women grasping him like a lifeline, "How was your first time? I may have made it a little too rough...MMPH~!" Naruto was interrupted when the four girls kissed him on the lips.

"Of course we enjoyed it; you being rough made it better since we know that it was you bringing the best out of it. No way will we forget this night all thanks you." Narumi said and the other girl tightened their grasp on the blond.

"Yeah. We never had so much fun like this before, you are really good Naruto-kun." Kin added, "We would love to have someone like you as our mate. So please mark us; we don't want to lose someone close to us anytime soon." Kin begged with the aid of the girl's begging dog eyes. Much to their surprise, the clones that helped their creator give them a good time were still around and they bitten each of them on the nave of their necks with the rest of their chakra to form the mate seal made to respond only to Naruto Uzumaki.

"Thank you Naru-koi. We love you. Your five mates love you too." The girls said at once in a creepy fashion but no one took in mind as they were too tired and too into their happiness. Then they finally fell asleep with dreams of the future for tis new family of bonded souls never to be in pain again; that was the promise that will take a lifetime to fulfill and may never be.

"Okay Baa-chan, explain to me what is going on again." Naruto was saying a rather unhappy tone as he was standing in the Hokage Office with the Hokage sitting at her desk.

"I keep telling Naruto, you are the first Genin in history to not only survive the Chunin Exams but got a promotion to Jonin based on that performance alone. It is now one of your responsibilities to think of who should be advanced to the next rank." Tsunade said in a professional and straightforward tone that was brief and to the point.

"So basically, you are telling me that I have to review every genin that fought for our village in the Exams and see which one should rise to the ranks." Naruto summarized everything he heard and had a moment of silence before, "Did you just thought of this while having fun with Ero-sennin the night after the invasion?" Naruto asked and the Hokage couldn't think of what to say in protest, just blush.

It wasn't a lie, Tsunade did keep her promise and the two Sennin rocked their bed until it collapsed. The next morning, everyone was wondering why the Slug Sennin couldn't walk straight and noticed that she had Jiraiya carry her since her legs looked like they were made of jelly instead of skin and bones. Now back to the important parts, "Why do you still call Aiya-kun like that? He hasn't peeked in any hot springs or wrote anymore of his porn books since that night when we became a couple." Tsunade pointed out and Naruto scowled,

"That is true and that is why I haven't been getting him beaten to death when I tell nearby Kunoichi that he is going to peek on them next time they take a bath." Naruto said in a tone that was like he was reluctant to admit it. "If I was to going to call him by his name, then he should try to pick up the pace to make up for a lifetime of neglecting his role as a godfather."

Tsunade sighed as she remembered that it was touchy subject that Naruto was the most unfortunate person in the world to have a godfather that never did his duty in the whole thirteen years. (they still don't know about the five year addition to Naruto and all Jinchuriki)

"Still, if you want my suggestions..." Naruto said and Tsunade gave her attention, "I suggest a bigger audience because when I select my girls, it would be because they are my girlfriends and that would be unfair to everyone including them." Naruto pointed something that left no room for an argument.

"Fine, I will make a Council meeting about this and while I am at it..." Tsunade said until an evil glint was seen in her eyes, "Let's show those Civilian bastards the consequences of trying to control what Shinobi stand for. And that includes their training, the Academy teaching and the selection for promotion." Tsunade was having a ball thinking of what she can do to put down those people who have been meddling in affairs they were never elected to control.

"Sounds like fun and while you are at, I would like to let you know something." Naruto said in a much better tone so Tsunade kept quiet while it lasts, "While Kin-chan maybe one of your students already, the rest of my girls are hoping that you can teach them how to be Kunoichi and real women."

Now Tsunade was really confused so she voiced it, "What do you mean? I've seen your girlfriends in action during the Finals and they looked like real Kunoichi to me."

Naruto nodded at the question as he was expecting something related no less, "I understand. I may have taught them tactics, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu but I can only do as much when it came to training Kunoichi. They need someone who can teach them about women mature as they slowly reach their prime. You have been there before and surely you know enough to share with the rest of the Kunoichi." As soon as the explanation was completed, Tsunade nodded and felt a little hot in her cheeks at the praise for her being a woman; that was scare to be found during her real young years as everyone didn't take her importance since she was a Medic Shinobi and a woman as well.

"Very well, I will look into it and I will summon them to my office as soon as possible. Is that all/" Tsunade asked until Naruto gained a mischievous smirk on his face,

"No, the last thing is that I suggest you promote Shikamaru to Chunin and when he protests, tell his mom that he is acting like his father again." Naruto said that caused Tsunade to catch his smirk as it grew on her own face.

"Sure, I love to see Nara women in action with their lazy men." Tsunade said and Naruto nodded before he left the office leaving the Hokage to her own pleasure in business. The first thing she did was call for the Council to meet later that day.

Later at Naruto's house, his girls were helping the recent additions move in since there were plenty of rooms to settle in. It was a fortunate and smart thing for Naruto to pick a house with an additional floor making a total of twenty rooms the least. Now, each of the girls in Naruto's harem would have their own bed in case of no room in Naruto's king sized bed.

"Hey, thanks for everything you did for us." Tayuya said while breaking her silent moments since she started the habit of trying to keep her cursing to herself; it took Kin around to do that of course. "But how can we pay you back?"

"You don't have to bring yourself to always replaying us, the fact that we can call you a sister in this Harem is a good enough reward as it is." Ino answered but got to see Tayuya tear up and helped her sit on a chair in order to support her.

"Sorry about that but I never had such a life back in Oto. I had just Kin-chan until Orochi-teme took her way so he can control me." Tayuya said in a low tone since she still couldn't trust her voice without cursing. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and looked to see her savior, Naruto look down with a look of sympathy in his eyes.

"I understand that Tayuya, I had to live my whole life with no friends until the academy years started and even then I felt like I was on the verge of losing them no matter how hard I tried." The blond retold his sad life, "Still I kept trying and even I never dreamed of making a family or that there were girls that had crushes on me but were forced to keep them as secrets until we became brave enough to ignore all that and finally came together." Naruto went on and Tayuya was starting to feel bad about him when he went to the point, "I admire you since you forced yourself to do things you don't like in hopes of seeing your friend again. But, the path of chasing dreams must never be done alone. That is why I want you to live here so you can live with people you can trust and have lots of friends." That speech touched the hearts of Tayuya and the other girls with the former charged into an embrace.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun. Thank you!" Tayuya was draining herself dry with tears in Naruto's chest as she poured out feelings she thought had died years ago when the two lonely friends were taken from each other. Yet all moments have to end and this one did when Naruto noticed that the ANBU made a silent notice about the meeting he talked with Tsuande earlier today.

"It was no problem Tayuya, take as long as you like to get used to this new life. I will be waiting for you to smile again." Naruto said in reply and Tayuya broke the hug so she can help with the unpacking. Naruto then left with a Shunshin on his way to the Hokage Tower, where the meeting is.

The Council room; Hokage Tower.

"Alright Tsunade, why are we doing in here when I have much work to do?" An elder with only one good arm and only one good eye while the remainder of his body was like that of a mummy complained; he was known as Danzo, the War Hawk of a Ninja. He was on the same team that was under the teachings of the first two Hokages along with Hiruzen but unlike him, he wished to become Hokage in order to keep Konoha the strongest of the villages forever even if he had to used dirty tactics that even Missing Nin with no honor will never do. That is why he was never nominated and instead he had to see his childhood friend and rival be elected as Hokage in front of his eyes years ago.

But all that never got Tsunade down because she was smirking 'Once I am done with you, you wouldn't have much to do once I take back what you stole from my processors.' Tsunade thought darky, at least for him. "Okay then, the first point of business: I will retrieve what you stole from the position as Hokage years ago." Tsunade said straight to the point and it got the Civilian Council furious; selfish isn't it?

"What! We are the honorary Council of Konoha! Our power is right where it belongs!" One unnamed member of the side of the Council yelled in protest but only got his worse kind of response,

"If you are so honorary, you never would take that power for yourself." Naruto said once he revealed his presence in the room.

"Demon-Brat! It is bad enough you seduced women that rightfully belonged to Uchiha-sama, then you take away his ability to become Chunin he deserves and now you are insulting us!? What do you think you are doing to our beautiful future for the village?" Another nameless babble mouth from the annoying side of the council yelled a scream that filled the entire room.

"Ah yes, the Teme." Naruto said coolly that got the bad side of the loudmouth civilians again, "First he treated the fair ladies like useless trash and called them worse which really lost him points with the girls, and then he set a poor example for his fellow rookies by being late to an event that is supposed to show you what it is like in war. I don't know about insults but that loser sure has fallen from even his clan's standards; his parents will definitely be disappointed in how their precious son has become so weak that he listens to civilians, the one species that he calls the weakest. Ironic and hypocritical don't you think?"

Tsunade and the Shinobi Council, the real council members that actually know what they are doing, laughed at how Naruto put down the arrogant and untrained civilians with complete calmness; that is really what ninjas do, carry out what needs to be carried out without showing weakness or any advantage that their enemies could use against them. "Now that is over with, let's get down to the real reason for this meeting: deciding on the promotions to the Chunin that were present at this year's Exams." Tsunade wanted some more fun but she was a Kage and all Kages have to be professional.

"Uchiha-sama is the only one that deserves it! No one else!" A random and no-name Civilian interrupted the conversation again but felt something piercing his throat and looked down to see a Senbon right where the voice box is from the outside; thus rendering him mute. Then, the sound of repeated piercing was heard and the Shinobi Council saw that Naruto used spare Senbon to make quick work of the other jerks in the Council Room.

"You know that the teme threw away his only chance to be promoted when he decided to be late due to his own arrogance. You better remember that." Naruto saw with an extended arm with a hand full of Senbon.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the troublesome Uchiha?" Shikaku, the head of the Nara Clan and Shikamaru's father, asked only to notice Naruto's grin grew to resemble a Cheshire cat's.

"I am glad you asked because I was saying a surprise that Jiji gave me soon after the invasion." Naruto took out a scroll with the Kanji for 'Jerk Prison' on it. Then, the blonde opened it and swiftly applied some of his blood to activate the seal to release a poof of smoke. When the smoke lifted, there was a surprise alright; Sasuke was bound in chains with seals with the Kanji for 'Silence' and 'Bloodless' on each cheek. Then, Sasuke stirred and awoke to find himself in a foreign room. He tried to speak but couldn't find his voice so he was acting like mime without the make-up.

"Jiji gave me the scroll saying that I should save it until the council tries to pull one on his successor to get the selfish jerk a promotion even though he won't take the job seriously." Naruto explained and the Shinobi present all nodded while the civilians could do nothing but shake in anger that they let a 'brat' have his way and insult the 'all-important Uchiha-sama'. Naruto just ignored the latter and re-sealed Sasuke despite the boy's protests, "Now there aren't any more questions," Naruto said to grasp everyone else's attention, "We can get back to promotions."

"Yes. The suggestions by popular demand, and not of the Uchiha brat, are Naruto's girlfriends since they pleased everyone in their performances in the Third Exam." Tsunade brought it up the candidates and the Shinobi Council was deep in thought until they all reached their decision,

"I didn't like Kiba's defeat but I guess I still own you for saving him from a coward kill. It was your girls that healed him so I call for their promotion." Tsume Inuzuka was the head of the Inuzuka Clan after her husband and mate left her along with her daughter and son; she was grateful both for not losing another family member she loved and helped him cool down his hotheadedness.

"I am feeling thankful that Ino-chan is finally taking her role as a Kunoichi and an heir more seriously especially her amazing battle in the Preliminaries so I vote for her promotion." Inoichi Yamanaka was the head of the Yamanaka Clan as well as the best ninja at the Art of Mind Walking; he was getting desperate to cure his love-struck daughter of her fan-girl tendencies that were burdening her progress on becoming a Kunoichi.

"I owe Naruto-san for helping my own daughter grow and break out of her shell so she can still take after my late wife and set a good example for generations of Hyuga to come. I vote for her promotion." Hiashi Hyuga was the head of the noble Hyuga Clan as well as Hinata's strict and grief-stricken father upon the death of his twin brother and later his wife after getting a second daughter.

"While I don't enjoy that my son lost but I can't argue that he was hotheaded and thought that what I taught him made him unable to be harmed but Narumi-san set him right; other than that, he had been a huge help in my clan's restaurants. So, I vote for their promotion." Choza Akimichi was the head of the Akimichi Clan that was known for its success in the fast food section of any economy and for their techniques of turning into giants at will.

"...I admire that Fu-san accepts the presence of insects into this world as well as her impressive fight against my son. She even came up with a strategy to dominate the match with him so I vote for her promotion." Shibi Aburame was the head of the Aburame Clan that specializes in the art of using bugs and insects for battle and spying; unfortunately, it is the reasons why people barely approach a member of that clan since they were quiet and stoic as well as having these insects use their bodies as hives which will appear disgusting to outsiders.

"With that, the decision is unanimous. In addition to Shikamaru Nara; Hinata Hyuga, Tenten, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, Fu and Narumi are all given the promotion to Chunin." Tsunade presented the verdict and with no arguments, she called for the ANBU to deliver the Chunin Vests and Letter of Promotion as proof they have all became Chunin. But then Naruto said something no one had seen coming,

"Remember Baa-chan? If you finish the meeting now, you wouldn't get all that Sake I promised you." Naruto said and Tsunade actually behaved like a kid caught in the act.

"Right." Tsunade said sheepishly and the Clan Heads couldn't believe that a Jonin was treating the Hokage like a kid doing work in exchange of going to her favorite candy shop or something. "The last order to present is the disbandment of the Civilian Council and the replacement of the Hokage's advisers."

The said people were still under Naruto's mute Senbon so they barely made a peep in protest about it. They just stared at the said Blond with hate in their eyes that they are feeling powerless for the first time since the Kyubi Attack gave them the 'rights' to gain power that 'rightfully belonged to them.

"I have seen it as the Civilians are trying to interfere in Shinobi business while not knowing what they are doing. That and there is a thief among us, him!" Tsunade said and then pointed at Danzo while everyone else looked at him in bewilderment.

The mummy tried to get out of it but when he summoned his Chakra, it was in shambles and the war hawk of a ninja couldn't even use a Shunshin to get his hide out of the hot water. Then he noticed that unlike the rest of the Civilians, he had two Senbon on his body other than the spot of the voice book on his neck; it was where a major Chakra channel connecting the source to his eyes and the Senbon was also spreading something that is causing the rest of the Chakra to move around too fast to be controlled.

"Don't try to get out of it, you old bag in corpse wrapping." Naruto said smugly which made it oblivious that he was also responsible and then he started walking towards Danzo and reached for the bandages that covered the most of his body. When he pulled them off, everyone gasped that Danzo's right eye was a Sharingan while his right arm also had Sharingan installed into the very skin of it but the fake arm also had the face of the First Hokage!

"ANBU!" Tsunade roared as they returned and gasped at the sight as well, "Take this thief to have those Sharingan removed!" Tsunade ordered the ANBU who nodded and took the silent and caught elder away from the Council. "As for the rest of you, go and find real jobs because the Civilian Council is no more! I will go and find real advisors some other day. This meeting is adjourned." Tsunade said and everyone felt relieved since they had as much excitement anyone can ask for even one day. Naruto left, feeling proud that he got the one of the real problems to light and actually was allowed to see it happen, to grab the Sake that he promised so Tsunade can hopefully relax after her own excitement after that experience. The next thing happened was the Hokage getting drunk after all those bottles of Sake, but what else is new?

Meanwhile, in a cave in an unknown land, there corridors were filled with screams of pain and frustration. As we zoom on to the source of the wails, we see a room filled with enough stuff to make a laboratory found in horror films. That and the figure twitching rather violently like he was in deep and great pain. Then, the light turned on to reveal a man in his fifties with snake like features but that didn't add up to the terrible burns on his body and the small tears in the area where the human heart was located.

"I told you before; you have to trust me and my medicine." A man with glasses appeared in the room looking like he just came right out of battle that really did a number on him. Yet, it appears that his loyalty to his master kept him from resting his body; that could be that the real serious and life-threatening wounds were on the master himself. "Look at me; I nearly got killed in that invasion because somehow, those Konoha ANBU were able to track me. I barely got out alive and it all thanks to my healing capabilities."

"Silence! *Hack!* I don't need your sympathy since you owned me for granting you that ability, Kabuto." The old and nearly-dead man sneered at those words before he coughed up blood from his mouth.

"I do Orochimaru-sama but I still need you to remain in bed while I try and fix you up." Kabuto said, "That encounter with your former teacher must have been a rough failure even with your reanimated Kage." Orochimaru surprised Kabuto

"That senile old fool of a teacher of mine never even got near enough to me for these wounds. It was the blond brat, Naruto Uzumaki." Orochimaru maybe a traitor but his has his own sense of honor in which he can't stand people who stretch the truth to deny it or steal credit for someone else's own achievements.

Kabuto didn't seem to be disturbed by the correction but inside, he was panicking that Konoha had a secret weapon that nearly finished them off; only left them running with scars to prove their cowardice. "Regardless of who caused it, these burns practically dug through your snake skins to the actual body. So they can never be erased when you attempt to shed your skin." Kabuto explained the verdict as he went to gather up his herbs and other medical grains. "Any new body you take over that should last a few years at the best but now, they can only do a few months."

Orochimaru growled with as much strength he had in the agonizing pain and to think of nothing but how he hated the one responsible for all this. 'I swear on the power of Kami, that when I see that brat with the sun blond hair and feral whiskers on his face, I would show him the true power of a sage he calls himself.' Orochimaru thought as he tried to lie down on his bed in hopes it would help the pain even the least.

Kabuto just left the master bedroom while listening to the proud Snake Sennin wither in wounds that may never disappear and nether would the pain of them. 'Naruto-kun, if I knew you would cause us trouble; I would have killed you when I had the chance. Now I can't even preform Medical Ninjutsu again.' Kabuto reflected and moved his shirt to reveal where the tracking seal used to be and now a bandage with a red shade to it; this meant that Kabuto was forced to kill his own right shoulder in order to destroy the seal since he was in a bind at that time. This caused his right arm to fall permanently limp and without it to make hand seals; Kabuto couldn't mold chakra to perform his healing.

It's just another person out there wanting to get even with Naruto. That blond never had a normal life but that is good since it would be boring otherwise. That is if any of you call a long list of enemies who want to kill you a good life.

Back in Konoha, Tsunade was walking home looking ragged down from that loud house of a Council Meeting. She was lucky that her boyfriend, Jiraiya, was helping her walk since her legs were too tired and drained from the drinking to barely walk. At lease she made some real progress today by gaining some students that could pretty much be her successors in her own healing art that only women can hope of using.

"I keep telling you Nade-chan, our bodies maybe younger but we still feel like we did when we were fifty. Sensei pointed it out and that was why he retired so someone he trusts like you to remember that." Jiraiya gently scolded his girlfriend who just chuckled sheepishly, "Besides, the bottles of Sake Naruto-kun gave you and in the drawer on your right could only smooth the pain for so long before you start to feel all that exhaustion and unrest all at once."

"Right. I guess that old habits do die hard." Tsunade mumbled until she felt her head lifted and her lips kissed by her boyfriend so she kissed back as well.

"It is never that bad once you realize that you are improving at a pace that best suits you, just remember that." Jiraiya said in order to help Tsunade settle down and she giggled,

"Wow Aiya-kun, take away your pervert nature and you are such a gentleman. I should have been more patient and observant so we can actually be married long ago." Tsunade remarked and got Jiraiya blushing of embarrassment rather than for his pervert nature showing.

"Thanks Nade-chan, I really do appreciate it. Now let's get ready for bed to receive some rest. Rest does do wonders for anyone." Jiraiya suggested and he felt Tsunade nod in agreement. That is exactly what they did and boy was the couple out like a light once they collapsed in bed, holding each other. That was like other couples were that same night.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Tsunade addressed the group of Kunoichi including Fu, Narumi and Tayuya who were standing before her in the Hokage Office.

"Yes Tsunade-sama. We were told that you are offering us the chance to be your students because of a suggestion from Naruto-kun." Hinata answered out of the group which made Tsunade feel proud that the Hyuga Heiress is finally leaving her timid and shy shell yet,

"I appreciate you being more professional when addressing me but Naruto-kun himself sees me as part of his family so you don't have to tone down your affection when it is just me or any of you girls." Tsunade brought the point as gently as possible hoping that the girls will understand. Thankfully, they all did as the girls nodded affirmative so Tsunade went back to discussions.

"Yes, well I have given this a bit of thought." Tsunade said as she started waiting for a short while until the door opened,

"Sorry if I am late Tsunade-sensei! The staff was bent on completing more patients than I was told so I was hold up." That voice was very familiar to the group of girls and sure enough, Kin appeared out of the door way with a nervous look on her face; probably from her forced tardiness.

"Not at all, you were on time, right on time for their training." Tsunade said with 'their training' strained as she pointed to the Kunoichi already present in the Hokage Office. The Kunoichi couldn't be any more confused, "Now in order for this to work..." Tsunade began, "I will have Kin-chan train you for a couple of weeks in what she already learned so you will good in the game for the rest; if you can survive Kin-chan's training and reach her level, I will teach you all including Kin-chan. Are we clear?"

"Hai Hokage-sama/Tsunade-sensei!" The girls yelled their answer.

"Good, now Kin-chan..." Tsuande said, "You may begin and let me know how they are doing when the two weeks ended."

"Hai Tsuande-sensei!" Kin said as she left in order to get ready.

"I know you are nervous about this," Tsuande said to the Kunoichi still remaining, "But Naruto-kun said that you want to continue my example of Kunoichi, is that right?" The girls nodded which made Tsunade smile, "I can't wait for you to make it official because I will love to have such devoted Kunoichi as part of my family. Just make some children and grandchildren I can spoil okay?" Tsunade grinned as the girls grew a blush in reponsie to the tease,

"HOKAGE-SAMA!" The whole village heard that and instead of mumbling bad words about it, they just went on their activities with smiles on their faces since they felt like this was the start of something big; it always happens when and after Naruto Uzumaki does his work.
