I do not own Naruto
Chapter 34
Three days later
To say that a certain blonde Namikaze youth was already chafing under these new restrictions would be an understatement.
Naruto was downright psst.
It was only with the presence of the Copycat ninja and one Sasuke Uchiha that kept him from going off the deep end. The former training him, the other despite being in a wheel chair at the moment healing, bickering with him every so often to keep the youth on his guard.
Sakura just cracking up every so often as with the occasional insult thrown out by the dark haired youth hits home with the blonde. She was simply biding her time and waiting. Sooner or later those two were going to get around to sparring and she was going to have to be there to heal them both. As well as knock them silly...
But it would be just like old times. Times that are long missed...
When Naruto had pleaded his case with the council, even Tsunade no matter how much she argued, she found herself outvoted as she stated that restraining the blonde within Konoha was the wrong idea. That this maneuver would only bring the Akatsuki towards them en masse to get at the youth...
It fell on deaf ears as the council members remained stubborn and unyielding. Especially as rumors began to spread all across the Shinobi nations as word of Naruto's identity began to hit. The son of the Yellow Flash lives and not only that... he was the container for the Lord of all the Biju. The Nine tailed Fox...
Already ANBU and the patrols have had to stop and kill several Rock ninja who had attempted to infiltrate their city. All in attempts to get at the legacy of the one and only man to have beaten them into submission. The one whom had already been nicknamed the Blue Thunder by his own people...
Even Kyuubi, whom despite his hatred of humanity was ticked at the council on behalf of his jailor. For at least while the fleshbag in his opinion was moving, he could count on seeing some bloodshed spilled around the boy...
Things were essentially on pins and needles around the last of the Uzamaki-Namikaze clans.
There was the upside though to it. Or at least in the opinion of the Fox, who was of like minds with the Copy-ninja and the long departed Toad Sage.
Hinata Hyuuga was starting to come forth a little more in interest of Naruto. With aide from the flirtatious Ino, and savvy Sakura, the young woman was ridding herself of that shyness, much to Hiashi's delight. Not only with their friendship, has she grown stronger for her clan and her team, Hinata was coming out of her shell apparently.
Just the other day as a councilman was insisting on refusing to acknowledge the fact that things were changing. Hiashi, who had brought her along so she may learn how it works, was stunned to find the young woman speak up.
And with wisdom so much like hers and Hanabi's dear departed mother.
Things have changed Councilman Takashi. You are so wrapped up in the past to realize the past itself has changed. Yes, Orichamaru was once a Sannin of Konoha. But he changed and instead of becoming a hero... he became its want to be death.
We have factions of our own ANBU forces according to my father. Simply because one man believes we should become emotionless. Yet one of our strongest ninjas is one who draws from them in his loyalty and his love for our village, despite all that had been done to him in the past.
We are changing, Takahashi-san. It is just you refuse to see it.
Never before had Hiashi been as proud of Hinata as he had at that very moment. And considering whom Naruto was, and what he knew of Minato. It would indeed be a boon to get to know the youth, whom was responsible for saving much discord among his clan members of the Main and Branch houses.
And for healing the own discord within his family, so it was to the point that he was arranging albeit by pulling a few strings. That the other clan heads to allow the youth to not only return to missions, but to also become a member of the council...
As the last of the Namikaze and Uzamaki clans, he had every right to be there and he had every right to be able to work to protect their shared home.
Besides, if Naruto could come onto the council as the representative for his parents Kushina and Minato...
Just maybe he can finally help Tsunade in achieving something that he himself desires.
Getting rid of Danzo...and his two wanna be lackeys despite their firm understanding of whom Naruto was. The Third's own former teammates Homura and Koharu...all three had been in power for far to long, and what they have been doing according to his people within their camps.
Can and will constitute treason...
