A/N: Poll for Minato.
Should I give Minato to someone?
Yes- 6 people
No- 19 people
"Welcome back Mikoto Uchiha, but we have to talk," Naruto said to the Uchiha woman. Mikoto turned her head to meet with the son of Kushina as she gasped. Mikoto remembered when Naruto was still inside Kushina as the woman always told her about how strong he was with his small kicks.
"Your Naruto, Kushina's son right?" Mikoto asked him. Naruto nodded with a slight smile as Shizune and the rest of Naruto's family came to meet everyone else. Shizune walked up to Naruto as Minato turned to see Kushina with them. Minato nearly gasped as he walked up to Kushina.
"Hello Kushina-chan, how you been?" Minato asked her. Kushina narrowed her eyes slightly at Minato as she breathed deeply. Kushina put up a small smile as she looked at her former husband and lover.
"Hello Minato. I am doing well. I'm glad you back," Kushina said with a slight amount of venom in her voice that nearly everyone caught. Naruto narrowed his eyes at his parents and sighed as he knew this was going to be unavoidable. Minato noticed the venom and could only sigh as he knew why she was mad at him. Kushina sighed as she walked past Minato and rejoined the group.
"I'm not sure if I can forgive you for what you put our son through Minato," Kushina said to him as the yellow flash held his head down. Naruto walked up to his mother and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Kaa-san, I know why your angry at him, but don't be. Yes, I have endured a lot, but now I can do something about it. It's not really Tou-san's fault for this. Kaa-san, as your son I would like you to try and forgive Tou-san," Naruto told her. Kushina looked into his eyes for a moment and smirked as she turned back to see Minato standing there with a slightly sad smile on his face. Kushina turned back to Naruto and smiled.
"I'll try Naruto-kun, but even if I forgive him I can't go back to him. After his decision about you, I'm not sure I can love him anymore," Kushina told Naruto. Naruto nodded as he Kushina wrist and pulled her into a hug.
"Of course Kaa-san, you are mine after all," Naruto told her. Kushina blushed at his words as she chuckled with a slight nod. After being in the hug for a while, Naruto and Kushina broke the connection as Naruto turned back to see some anbu arriving to the scene. Naruto turned to his family as he grabbed Mikoto's wrist.
"Well, let's go before we have more trouble than we want right now," Naruto said to them. Everyone nodded with smiles on their faces as Naruto disappeared in yellow lightning along with Mikoto. Shizune and the others followed after them to the compound as they left Minato and Sarutobi on the rooftop. Minato sighed as he focused his chakra on his compound.
"I guess things didn't work out like I wanted. I'm sorry Naruto-kun, Kushina-chan. I'm not sure what I can do for them to forgive me, but I guess I will try anything," Minato said as he disappeared before the anbu arrived on the sight to see the worn out Sandaime Hokage on the roof of the Chunin exam stadium.
Back at the Namikaze Compound
Two figures appeared in front of the massive house as they dropped to the ground. Naruto let Mikoto go as she looked over the place. The Namikaze compound was much bigger than it normally was the last time she visited. Naruto turned his head to see the others come from out of the woods as they dropped to the ground also. Naruto unlocked the gate as everyone went inside and rested. Minato appeared last as he looked over his house. Minato wondered if the house was always this big, but paid it no mind as he looked over the room. Mikoto looked over the place one more time, but turned around as she heard Naruto's voice call her. Naruto told everyone to gather in the living room. After about 10 minutes, everyone gathered around to the living room and formed a circle as Naruto began the discussion.
"Alright, everyone. Good work in the invasion. Though Konoha wasn't damaged much, I must say it was a thrill to see some of it in flames," Naruto said as everyone chuckled with a nod. Minato decided to stay silent as Naruto continued.
"I am sure that Jiji is going to retire soon. He might elect Tou-san since he knows that he is alive now," Naruto said as everyone turned a glance to Minato. Naruto stood up as he walked towards Minato.
"Tou-san, you are going to come with me. Mikoto-san, I would like you to come with me also. One, I'm going to show Tou-san exactly what type of people he saved and I am going to show Mikoto her son," Naruto told them. Minato narrowed his eyes at what he wondered he would see and Mikoto smiled at the thought of seeing Sasuke again.
"Everyone can rest here for right now. I'm not sure, but we might be called later in the week, so get your rest," Naruto said to them. Everyone nodded as they all went to their separate rooms and decided to take a break. Naruto, Minato, and Mikoto left the compound as Minato turned to Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, why is the compound so big? I don't remember it being that way," Minato asked him. Naruto chuckled as he turned to his father with a smile.
"I united it with the Inuzuka clan compound. This made it a much bigger compound than the one that you remember Tou-san," Naruto told him. Minato nodded in understanding as Naruto turned to Mikoto.
"So how does it feel to be alive?" Naruto asked her. Mikoto gave a small smile as she looked up for a second.
"I'm not sure. I would say it was a happy feeling, but I feel something ominous about my Sasuke," Mikoto said as Naruto narrowed his eyes. Naruto adopted a thinking pose as he turned to Minato.
"You might want to henge your appearance Tou-san," Naruto told him. Minato wondered why Naruto wanted him to do such a thing, but nodded as he changed into a regular civilian as the three entered into Konoha to see most of the people working on rebuilding the semi-destroyed buildings and stores. Naruto, Minato, and Mikoto continued to walk until they made it to the red light district. Naruto suddenly smirked as a group of civilians turned to see him walking. Everyone sneered at him as Minato took a look at the disgusted faces of Konoha civilians as they looked at his son. Minato's eyes widened at this fact as a he was suddenly grabbed and pulled away from Naruto. Naruto and Mikoto turned to see a civilian grab him as Naruto sighed. Minato noticed the person whisper to him as he blood boiled.
"Hey man, what are you doing with that demon? Don't you know that he killed our beloved Yondaime? You would do well to stay away from that piece of trash," the man said to the disguised Minato. Minato slowly trembled as he heard those words. Minato looked around to see that no one honored his wish at all. Minato felt his heart tighten as he remembered his words as a Kage.
Flashback
Minato stood on top of the Hokage mansion and looked down at the village as Kushina came beside him. Minato smiled as he turned a passing glance to his wife. Kushina wrapped her arms around her husband as both looked at the village again.
"Enjoying the view Minato-kun?" Kushina asked him. Minato smiled with a nod as he saw the civilians converse along the Konoha highway.
"Yes Kushina-chan, I am. You know, I have been to nearly every elemental nation, but I can't find anyone more polite and kind than Konoha civilians," Minato said with a smile. Kushina chuckled with a nod as she rubbed her stomach.
"You think Naruto will like it here?" She asked him. Minato chuckled with a nod as he kissed Kushina.
"I am sure, without a doubt that he will," Minato told her as both went back inside.
Flashback off
Minato looked at the ground in shame as he saw Naruto slowly nod at him. Minato sighed as he took the man's arm off his wrist. Minato turned to the man and gave a slightly warm smile.
"I'll be fine. I don't think he's a demon," Minato told the man as he rejoined Naruto and Mikoto. Some of the people seethed as they called the henged Minato a demon lover while others whispered the dark and mean things about him that made Minato sigh.
"Is this really what I died for?" Minato wondered as Mikoto held her head down. Mikoto sighed also as she wondered where all the warm that Konoha had at one time went. Naruto continued to walk as Mikoto and Minato caught up with him. Naruto turned to the hospital as he entered. Minato and Mikoto narrowed their eyes as they saw the evil glares of the doctors and nurses at Naruto came to the front counter. The receptionist sneered at him as she narrowed her eyes.
"What the hell do you want? Can't you see we are busy here?" She asked him. Naruto narrowed his eyes, but gave a smile as he looked at the woman.
"Can I go to Sasuke's room? I have to talk to him," Naruto told her. Mikoto wondered why Sasuke was in the hospital, but didn't say anything as she knew she would get her answer soon.
"Please, like Sasuke-sama has anything important to discuss with you. And even if he did, I wouldn't let you go to him. He's in terrible form after you broke his arms in the Chunin exams," the woman said to him. Mikoto quirked up an eyebrow as to why people called him 'Sasuke-sama' and why Naruto broke his arms. Naruto smirked as he looked at her for a few minutes, but got up as he headed for the door.
"Well I'm going home. See you two later," Naruto said as he disappeared in yellow lightning. Minato turned to Mikoto. Mikoto decided to walk up to the receptionist also as the woman gave her a warm smile.
"How may I help you?" she asked Mikoto. Mikoto narrowed her eyes at the sudden change of attitude as she decided to get her own answer.
"Is Sasuke really injured? Can I see him?" Mikoto asked these questions. The receptionist smiled as she got up. Minato narrowed his eyes at the woman, but ignored it as he left the hospital also since he had no business being there anymore. Minato sighed in shame of Konoha as he disappeared also.
With Mikoto
The receptionist brought Mikoto to the room as she soon left. Mikoto stood outside the door as her heart jumped at the moment when Sasuke would get to see her. Mikoto softly smiled as she reached for the lever.
"Why dammit!" A yell came from the room as Mikoto stopped for a second. Mikoto channeled chakra to her ear as she listened to the things inside the room.
"Sasuke calm down. It won't do you any good to lose you cool like this," Kakashi said the door soon banged from something being thrown. Mikoto gasped softly as she continued to listen.
"Shut up Kakashi. Do you think this is some sort of joke? I, an Uchiha, got beat by that dobe and now look at me. They said that I was lucky to still be able to move my arms. Kakashi, I demand that Naruto be killed right now!" Sasuke yelled. Mikoto stiffened at her son's words as she let a few tears fall down her face.
"Sasuke, you can't kill Naruto. Everything he did was in the confines of the Chunin exams. Sasuke your being selfish right now. What would your mother and father think of you acting this way?"
"Shut your mouth Kakashi. Don't talk about my family that way! The Uchiha were the best and yet we were betrayed and killed off. My mother would be glad that I would want to kill off that loser. It's not like he'll make something of himself in the future. Him and that loser family of his deserves to die for humiliating me in front of the entire stadium. Kakashi, I have learned tons of things, but it's all not enough. While I sit here, Itachi is out still breathing. I am going to restore the honor of the Uchiha clan with or without Konoha. Now leave me alone," Sasuke said as Mikoto heard a poof in the room. Mikoto narrowed her eyes as she heard the conversation. Mikoto looked at her hand as she was about to open the door. Mikoto now seemed to struggle with doing that as her hand slowly went forward a little more, but stopped again as she heard Sasuke talk to himself.
"Hmph, damn village, always holding me back. What does Kakashi know about the Uchiha clan anyway? It's not like he's an Uchiha. How dare he bring my mother and father to my face like that. Both would be proud that I'm trying to gain power to avenge our clan. Hmph, I might as well leave this damn village and go to Orochimaru for power, at least he won't waste my time," Sasuke said with a short smile. Outside, no one was at the door as silence reigned throughout the halls of the hospital.
With Naruto
Naruto appeared in front of the compound along with Minato as both entered the house. Naruto smirked as he the empty room which meant that everyone was either training or sleeping. Naruto turned to his Tou-san and sighed.
"Believe what you want about Konoha Tou-san, but regardless of the fact, you can either help me or you can go against me, but either way, Konoha is going to burn. Count on it," Naruto said with a glare that made even Minato shudder. Naruto walked up the stairs to his room, but turned to Minato.
"Take a room that you want and go out later and buy some clothes. I don't think you wanna keep wearing that Hokage robe the whole time," Naruto said as he went upstairs. Minato sighed again today as he wondered where he went wrong with so many things. Minato walked around the compound and took a random room as he saw that nothing was inside it. Minato took the room and laid his current clothes on the bed. Minato soon left the room as he saw Hana and Haku counting some of the money the compound had currently.
"Hello ladies, may I have some money so I can buy some clothes?" Minato asked them with his warmest smile. Haku smirked along with Hana as both gave him a large sum of money. Minato took the money as he left the compound to purchase some clothes.
With Mikoto
Mikoto walked around the remains of the Uchiha compound as she sighed. Mikoto still saw some of the compound was a complete mess as nearly all the buildings were either burned or destroyed. Mikoto looked around the compound some more as she remembered the fun times with Sasuke, Itachi, and Fugaku. Mikoto soon went into the main house, her house, as she looked at the clean floor. Memories of that day assaulted her mind. Mikoto saw Sasuke's room as she came inside to see that most of it was clean and tidy also, but could feel the hostility of the air as she wondered if she could bring her son back.
"Sasuke, how long have you suffered?" Mikoto wondered as she got up to leave. Mikoto knew she couldn't really stay at the Uchiha clan for fear of people recognizing her and going into further questioning than she wanted. Mikoto decided to return to the Namikaze compound as she didn't have anywhere to go for the minute. Mikoto sighed as she wondered how long Sasuke had been alone, but knew that he shouldn't act the way he was acting right now. Mikoto rubbed her temples as a headache began to form from the day she was having. Mikoto disappeared in a fire shunshin as she went back to the Namikaze compound though she herself wasn't sure why.
Back at the Namikaze Compound
Mikoto appeared in front of the door and knocked as she waited for someone to answer. After 3 minutes, Haku opened the door and invited Mikoto inside. Mikoto smiled with a thank you as she looked around the place again. The house had a certain warmth that she wished Sasuke and her family had known. Mikoto saw Naruto with a drink of water as she walked up to him. Naruto noticed her as he set the glass of water down.
"Was Sasuke always like this after the clan's demise?" Mikoto asked him. Naruto narrowed his eyes at her, but nodded as he passed her.
"I sympathize with you over Sasuke and how he feels, but I am going to kill him whether or not you try to stop me. There is only so much level of arrogance you can take from someone Mikoto-chan," Naruto told her as he headed upstairs. Mikoto's froze under his words as she looked at the ground. Naruto turned back to her and tried a smile.
"Take a room Mikoto-chan, you look like you could use a good day's rest," Naruto told her. Mikoto refused to look into his eyes, but slowly nodded as she left. Naruto went upstairs, but turned around when he saw the door open to reveal Minato with tons of clothes.
"Trying to change your style Tou-san?" Naruto asked him. Minato chuckled with a slight shrug of his shoulders as he took his clothes to his room. Naruto walked upstairs to his room as he saw Shizune on the bed without her book in her hand.
"You finished your book?" Naruto asked her. Shizune smiled with a nod as she showed it to him.
"Yep, everything learned and memorized. Well, I'm going to start on the other four books," Shizune said with a smile. Naruto quirked up an eyebrow at her.
"There's more?" Naruto asked her. Shizune chuckled as she showed him a list.
"After the Introduction to Torture, there is Torture for Beginners, Torture for the Intermediate, then last is Advance Torture techniques. It's all quite good Naruto-kun," Shizune told him. Naruto chuckled with a smile as he gave Shizune a warm kiss to which she gratefully accepted. Shizune growled lowly as she felt Naruto powerful lips over hers, but soon stopped as she put a finger to his lips.
"We have company Naruto-kun, even with a privacy seal, we are quite loud so let's not do it right now," Shizune told him. Naruto chuckled with a nod as he kissed her cheek and got in the bed.
"Well I'm, going to bed. I can tell that we are going to look for Tsunade soon," Naruto told her. Shizune nodded with a smile as she went to sleep also. Soon the entire house was quiet as most of the people went to sleep for the rest of the day.
6 days later
Naruto and most of his family could be seen in the Hokage Mansion as they had been called by Sarutobi. Due to the minor damage done to Konoha, most of the buildings were fixed in a matter of days and life resumed as usual with Sarutobi calling Naruto and the other Konoha contestants of the Chunin exam finals to the room. Kurenai, Kushina, a disguised Minato, Zabuza, Kin, Tsume, Hana, Anko, and Haku came with Naruto also to congratulate him and his team. Everyone filed in as they stood in a line extending from Sasuke to Naruto. Sarutobi glanced at everyone and smiled as he looked at them all.
"You have all done well. You have all followed through with the invasion accordingly and I am pleased to say that you have my gratitude. There comes a time in a genin's life that they develop the skills necessary to tackle greater missions. They show great strength, power, and intelligence. They show the makings of a real leader. They show they are ready to become chunin," Sarutobi said to them all. Shino, Kiba, Haku, Naruto, Shizune, Hinata, Kin, and Sasuke all nodded with the last having a triumphant grin on his face. Sarutobi smiled as he looked at them all.
"I wish I could promote all of you, but I cannot. For showing great use of intelligence and chakra control as well as being a strong ally in the invasion, I hereby promote from genin to chunin, Kiba Inuzuka," Sarutobi said as Tsume, and Hana clapped for him, everyone smiled, except for Sasuke as Kiba took the chunin vest with a smile. Sarutobi clapped as he slowly took out two more chunin vests.
"For having amazing strength and cunningness in the field of battle, for stunning the audience with your display of power and skill, I hereby promote you from genin to chunin, Kin Tsuchi and Haku Momochi," Sarutobi said to them. Kin and Haku smiled with bows as they took the chunin vests also. Sasuke tapped his finger in irritation as he wondered when it would be his turn.
"That's all for the Chunin exams. These are the genin who have been promoted to the rank of chunin," Sarutobi said to everyone. Sasuke gasped as Hinata and Shino shrugged their shoulders. Naruto turned to Haku, Kin, and Kiba and congratulated them on a job well done. Everyone smiled with a nod as they turned to Naruto. Sarutobi smiled as he turned to Naruto and Shizune.
"Now, there are also those who go beyond those skills and improve them even more. They are the ones who are known as the true elites of the village...," Sarutobi said. Sasuke smirked as he knew, to himself, that he was a true elite and the best of the best in Konoha. Sarutobi continued.
"They are the true leaders and the ones who show the qualities of true shinobi. These are called Jonin. People who lead chunin and genin alike. They show the proficiency to be the best," Sarutobi said as he took out two jonin vests.
"It is with great honor that I give these two jonin vests to the one who fought beside me and helped to reunite me with an old friend," Sarutobi said looking at the disguised Minato, who had a smile on his face.
"He helped me overthrow Orochimaru's attempt at the destruction of Konoha. It is with a big heart that I hereby promote from genin to jonin, Naruto Uzumaki," Sarutobi said as he handed the vest to the blond. Naruto smirked with a bow as he took the vest. Naruto may not have liked being a Konoha shinobi again, but he smiled all the same at being promoted to a jonin by his Jiji.
"Thank you Hokage-sama," Naruto said with the warmest smile he could muster despite the life he was living. Sarutobi nodded with a smile as he took out the next jonin vest.
"For having amazing stamina and for being able to perform well in the invasion, more so than any other genin besides Naruto, I am happy with the use of techniques and the ingenuity during the Chunin exams. I am happy to say that I hereby promote from genin to jonin, Shizune Kato," Sarutobi said to her. Everyone cheered, while someone else seethed(A/N: Guess and you get a cookie). Shizune smiled as she took the vest and held it in her hand. Naruto smiled along with Shizune until Sasuke slammed his hands on the table.
"What about me? I did a lot of work during the invasion. I am the best, why don't I get a vest if these losers get them? Sasuke asked as everyone shook their heads in disappointment. Sarutobi took a big puff of smoke as he stared down the Uchiha.
"Silence brat. That is the reason right there. Your damn attitude isn't right. You still act superior and don't have the qualities of a leader at all. Interrupt me again, and you will know how much of a insignificant brat you are," Sarutobi said as he flooded the entire room in KI making everyone, except Naruto and his family, shiver. Sasuke cursed as he turned to leave.
"Your all just scared. Scared that I might actually get some power so your holding me back from getting my revenge. I'll remember this," Sasuke said as he slammed the door on his way out. Sarutobi sighed as he turned to the rest of everyone else.
"That is all, you are all dismissed," Sarutobi said to them.
"Hold on Jiji," Naruto said bringing everyone's attention to him. Sarutobi quirked up an eyebrow as Naruto rummaged through his pockets.
"I wanted to do this when I made chunin, but I guess being a jonin works also," Naruto said as he took out some jeweled rings. Naruto smirked as he saw the green jewels from the time he went into the cave for the dragon summoning contract. Naruto chuckled sheepishly, but steeled his resolve as he turned to Shizune and got down on one knee.
"Shizune-chan, you are the love of my life. I have known you most of my life and you make my heart race. Without you, I am nothing. Shizune Kato, will you marry me?" Naruto asked her. Shizune gasped at the proposal along with everyone else in the room, but soon people smiled. Shizune smiled with a few tears as she slipped the ring on her finger.
"Of course Naruto-kun, your my life and I love you," Shizune said to him. Naruto smiled as he kissed Shizune. Technically, they were already married, but in this timeline Naruto decided to get married again. Naruto broke the connection and walked towards Haku. Haku gasped also as Naruto dropped on one knee.
"Haku-chan, you are the ice that soothes my burning heart. You have loved me for myself and I love you with all my heart. Haku Momochi, will you marry me?," Naruto said to her. Haku smiled as a few tears fell down her face. Haku seemed to choke on her words slightly, but steeled her resolve as she found her words.
"I love you also Naruto-kun. I love you so much. I would love to marry you Naruto-kun," Haku said as she slipped the green jeweled ring on her finger. Naruto smiled as he gave Haku a deep kiss. Unconsciously, people turned to Zabuza to see the man with a rare smile on his face as he folded his arms and leaned back on the wall of the room. Naruto and Haku broke the kiss as Naruto moved.
"Kin-chan, you are the beautiful sound to my ears. I want to listen to you everyday and I want to be with you everyday. Your the beautiful sound that resonates in my heart. Kin Tsuchi, will you marry me?" Naruto asked her. Kin smiled with a quick nod as she took his ring and slipped it on her finger also. Kin marveled at the jewel as she gave Naruto a big kiss to which Naruto accepted with open arms. Naruto soon broke the connection as he walked towards Anko. Kushina and Minato smiled at the constant proposals as Naruto knelt on one knee towards Anko.
"Anko-chan, when I met you, you said that you wanted to find love also. Well, I love you. You have showed me that anyone can rise above people's opinion of them and become something more. Anko, people may be against you, but trust in the fact that I love you very much. Anko Mitarashi, will you marry me?" Naruto asked her. Anko dropped her jaw for a second as she seemed too stunned to answer. Anko then gave a soft smile as she looked at Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, of course I will. I love you very much and with all my heart, I am yours," Anko said as Naruto put the ring on her finger. Anko smiled as she gave the ring a small kiss. Naruto stood up again and walked over to Tsume and Hana. Naruto got on one knee again as Naruto turned to them.
"Tsume-chan, Hana-chan, you both are so amazing to me. You have loved me with all your hearts and you train hard for my sake. You both astound me with so many things that I can't name them all. I love you both so much that I have to do this. Tsume Inuzuka, Hana Inuzuka, will you both marry me?" Naruto asked the two of them. Tsume gave a soft smile while Hana gasped at the proposal. Tsume soon stepped forward as she grabbed Naruto's ring and placed it on her finger.
"Of course I will Naruto-kun, your the only mate for me," Tsume said as her lips crashed into his. Naruto smiled as he wrapped his arms around Tsume. Tsume soon broke the connection as she smiled at the ring. Naruto turned to Hana as the woman stepped forward.
"Naruto-kun, I love you so much. I have had many troubles dating men and I was about to give up, but then I saw you and I give it another shot. I am happy with my relationship with you and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I would love to marry you," Hana said as she slipped on the ring Naruto gave her. Naruto smirked as he gave Hana a gentle kiss. Hana cried a few tears as she returned the kiss. Naruto soon let go as he turned to Kurenai.
"Kurenai-chan. You and me have only gone out for a short time, but I feel like it's been a lifetime. Much like your name, the Genjutsu Mistress, says, you have managed to play multiple tricks on my mind and heart much to my joy. Your smile has come to be one of the things I love so much. Kurenai I love you so much that if it were anymore serious you might try to dispel this for thinking it was a genjutsu," Naruto said to which people gave soft chuckles along with Kurenai.
"Kurenai Yuhi, will you marry me?" Naruto asked her. Kurenai smiled with a small chuckle as she stepped forward.
"Naruto-kun, you value me as a kunoichi and unlike most men you don't glare at me just for my body. Naruto-kun, you really care for me and I know that you won't treat me any differently. Naruto-kun, of course I will marry you," Kurenai said to him as she slipped the green jewel crested ring on her finger. Kurenai smiled as she kissed Naruto also. Naruto smiled as he soon stood up.
"That's my news Jiji," Naruto said as he watched everyone's react to him with their shocked faces. Naruto chuckled along with the women in the room as Sarutobi looked at Minato. Minato simply nodded with a smile on his face. Sarutobi chuckled as he turned to Naruto.
"Well Naruto-kun, that's some real surprising news," Sarutobi said to him. Naruto smirked with a nod as Sarutobi dismissed everyone. As everyone filed out Naruto smirked as he whispered to Kushina.
"Don't worry Kaa-san, yours is going to come real soon," Naruto told her. Kushina slightly blushed, but chuckled as she left. Naruto stayed in the room with Sarutobi as the man smiled.
"Well, I guess I might as well pass the mantle soon," Sarutobi said to him. Naruto chuckled with a nod as he turned around.
"So Naruto-kun's getting married huh?" Jiraiya said to him. Naruto narrowed his eyes with a nod as he smirked.
"That's right Ero-sennin," Naruto told him. Jiraiya chuckled with a nod as he then turned to Sarutobi.
"So what's going to happen now?" Jiraiya asked his former sensei. Sarutobi chuckled slightly as he took a puff of smoke.
"I am too old for this job now and Jiraiya can't do it because of the spy network," Sarutobi said. Jiraiya gasped while Naruto smirked.
"So you want me to find Tsunade for you?" Jiraiya asked him.
"No," Sarutobi said shocking Naruto and Jiraiya. Hiruzen smirked as he looked out the window.
"I want you AND Naruto-kun to find her for me," Sarutobi said to them. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he slightly turned towards Jiraiya. Jiraiya silently gulped as he felt Naruto's gaze on him.
"Alright Jiji, when do me and Jiraiya leave?" Naruto asked him. Sarutobi smirked as he adopted a thinking pose.
"You leave tomorrow morning," Sarutobi said to them. Jiraiya and Naruto nodded as Naruto began to speak.
"One thing Jiji," Naruto told him.
"Yes Naruto-kun?" Sarutobi asked him. Naruto smirked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Can I bring Anko-chan with me?" Naruto asked him. Sarutobi quirked up an eyebrow at the question as he looked at the blond.
"Why Naruto-kun?" Sarutobi simply asked.
"I think that we might need her on this mission. Just a precaution is all," Naruto said to him. Sarutobi quirked up an eyebrow, but nodded with a smile as Naruto and Jiraiya bowed and left. Naruto soon dropped the smile as he shifted his gaze towards Jiraiya.
"Let's get this mission over with Jiraiya. I don't want to spend anymore time with you than necessary," Naruto simply said as he disappeared using the Hiraishin technique. Jiraiya sighed as he wondered what he did that made Naruto hate him so much.
"Naruto, I hope someday you will come to trust me," Jiraiya said as he shunshined out of sight.
Somewhere Outside Konoha
Two figures stood on the Konoha walls as they stared at the village on the inside. Both had on black cloaks with red clouds and straw hats covering their faces. One's face was blue and held a giant sword while the other had a complete sharingan active in his eyes.
"So how does it feel to be back in your village after so long?" the blue man asked as he turned to his partner. Said partner narrowed his eyes at the village as he talked in an emotionless tone.
"I feel nothing for this place. Let's just complete our objective and get out of here," he said to the man.
"The capture of the Kyuubi jinchuuriki brat right?"
"That's right. Let's go Kisame," The man said to him. Kisame smirked as he put his sword on his shoulder.
"You got it Itachi," Kisame said to the Uchiha. Itachi nodded as both vanished into the village as they began their search for the Nine-tailed jinchuuriki.
