Days That Carry On
ALSO, ITACHI'S AND IZUMI'S AGE A SLIGHTLY ALTERED. Itachi and Izumi are about sixteen when the Uchiha Massacre happened. Yes, yes, I know Itachi did it when he like 14 or so, then he like 20 or 21 when he died.
Hello back with another chapter! Now let me dive right into everyone's concern with Grayfia. Yes, she is working for Danzo. No, she isn't some mindless drone being controlled by him with Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan either. This is all pure Grayfia I'm talking about here, Grayfia is going to having a huge character change for the better. I did this on purpose for you all to hate Grayfia, but I honestly see this as a possibility. Grayfia's attitude of her showing any real raw emotion. She has been very monotone, bland, but this Naruto is giving her character some color. Giving her a reason to start being herself, remember even Kurenai had a hard time breaking Grayfia out. Even then Grayfia hardly shows any emotion unless she is with Naruto. Like we all know, Naruto has that special thing that draws everyone near him. Grayfia is supposed to almost be like the Sasuke we know in the real Naruto. That's what Grayfia's role really is, remember she had a hard beginning just like Sasuke in this story. Even with Kurenai and everything her pasts catches up, boy, will her past catch up to her.
I also wanted Danzo to start playing a bigger role than in most of my stories. Yes, he is an antagonist but one that Grayfia can build off of. Grayfia thinks she owes Danzo for him helping her control her power. Even then Grayfia still doubts herself, hence when she was so focused on making that giant shield to protect them from Orochimaru. The reason Kurenai hasn't done much is that she is there to guide Grayfia and give her advice, it's Grayfia's job to learn. She'll have to learn the hard way; this will also force Naruto's character to further change. Remember so far, he wants to become Hokage, but things can change. Just because a character says something, in the beginning, doesn't mean things can't change later. Naruto is still a kid; this story is going to be so much more ambitious and a different form than most Naruto Senju stories. Believe it or not, Grayfia is an important key role she'll play.
Last Chapter
As soon as they finished laughing they shut up with their faces looking at the screen, Jiraiya & Eri Senju, 'MATCH' It was a 50% match showing that Eri received half of her DNA from Jiraiya, "Well I'll be damn… you were right."
"Shit… I was just talking out of my ass. I knew the pervert was a virgin… at one point." Naruto groaned as she placed a hand on his face.
"Damn that would have been funny to tease him about." Tsunade crossed her arms under her chest.
"We should probably get Jiji-san and Ero-Sennin here huh?" Naruto let a sigh out as Tsunade nodded her head.
This Chapter
Flashback Night Before the Uchiha Massacre (With Itachi)
Itachi stood and looked up at the night and stared at the moon. Not knowing that the moon held a more powerful being in there. He saw the stars twinkle while the cool night air blew across his face.
Flashback to the other Night
"Either kill your entire clan, spare you little brother, or we kill your entire clan, with you, and your little brother." The mummy known as Danzo shouted.
"Danzo you can't! There has to be another way! The boy is only sixteen!" The gentle and old Hokage shouted in annoyance
"I-I'll do it… if it means sparring my little brother." Itachi stated with Hiruzen's eyes widen and Danzo nodded his head.
"I see then, well you've made the right choice." Danzo left content with Itachi's decision.
Once Danzo left Itachi signaled for Hiruzen to place up the silencing and privacy seals. Hiruzen let a sigh out, "Itachi-kun are you sure about this?"
"I am Hokage-sama… may I request one thing… to allow me to take Izumi Uchiha. I want to take her into hiding." Itachi said with a nervous tone as Hiruzen nodded his head.
"If I can't even grant you a single request then what type of leader would I be. I will see that the documents for her 'death' is made true." Hiruzen said with a small smile, "I'll make sure to take care of Sasuke-kun for you too. The best I can without being too hands-on." Itachi nodded his head as he left.
End of Flashback
Itachi turned as he began to prepare and gather this thing. He was going to take Izumi out of the village now. Itachi already had his Anbu gear on and headed towards Izumi's house. He walked inside and found Izumi's mother. He knocked on the door and the woman opened the door, "Oh Itachi-kun! You here to take Izumi on a little date." Hazuki giggled as Itachi blushed a bit. She turned her head to call for Izumi but was met with two glowing eyes belonging to Itachi.
"I'm sorry Ms. Hazuki but I think you're quite tired and you should go to sleep." Tsukuyomi Itachi silently muttered the last part as Hazuki eyes dilated as she went to her room to go to bed.
Soon Izumi came walking down the stairs as Itachi quickly deactivated his Sharingan, "Izumi, I asked your mother to take you out we're leaving." Itachi turned around and began to walk out as Izumi looked at the Uchiha confused.
The two made their way outside until Itachi disappeared from Izumi's view. Then he appeared behind her and picked her up bridal style. He Shushined them quickly out of the village at a high rate of speed. Izumi didn't have enough time to realize what was going on as Itachi was taking off at alarming speed. Izumi knew something was up so she stayed quiet… not that she didn't mind being held like this.
After a few minutes of tree jumping, Itachi said, "Not going to ask anything?"
…
"I'm sure you have a good reason for what you're doing." Izumi said with a small smile appear on her face as Itachi smiled back. She seriously the only intelligent Uchiha besides his mother and hopefully his little brother.
The two continued until they made it to the land of waves. Itachi set her down and said, "I've got a room." He ushered her to follow him into a love hotel.
Izumi blushed, "W-Wait!? We haven't even asked one another out! Yet even confess our feelings! This is too quickly." Itachi placed a finger over his lip as she stopped.
"You're misreading me, just follow." Itachi stated blatantly as the two went in, paid for a room, and went into their assigned room. Itachi walked in and checked the room for anything, once he felt as he checked the room thoroughly, he looked at Izumi. He made a few hand seals as privacy barriers and silencing seals went up, "Sit we need to talk, what I'm about to do in a day. Is something big… bigger than just us Izumi."
"Well if you brought me here, it must be important." Izumi had a small smile on her face as Itachi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Here goes." Itachi began to explain what the Uchiha clan were plotting against the village. Also, what HE had to do to stop them from taking over the leaf.
Little bit Later
"I-I see then." Izumi rubbed her bicep with her other hand as she looked down, "I-I'm worried about you Itachi… this is a lot you know."
"I know it is… if it's to keep you safe… then keep Sasuke safe… I'll do it." Itachi said as he looked at Izumi with a smile, "I didn't know what to do… didn't want to kill you so. I asked Hokage-sama to make a fake death report for you. You can live here; I'll drop by and see you once in a while."
Izumi giggled, "I see… well I can understand why you have to do it… however, does this mean anything between us. You did go out of your way to get me out of there." Izumi had a tint of pink stain on her cheeks.
"Indeed, it does… Izumi, I don't know how to express it, but my Okaa-san told me something. I'd meet someone special one day. I'd get to spend the rest of my life with someone happy, though I don't think I'd be able to do that. With the way things are, but I at least maybe want to give you something you'd want. Maybe even something to keep my little brother in the village." Itachi said with a smile as he looked at Izumi.
Izumi blushed, "W-What!? Y-You're asking me to s-start a family!?" Izumi was suddenly hit by this as butterflies began to flutter in her stomach. Izumi couldn't believe it, starting a family at this young age wouldn't be too bad. Mainly because Shinobi die young so starting a family early isn't too uncommon. Izumi took a moment to think and smiled, "Promise you'd drop by to see e and the baby once in a while." Izumi said as she scootched closer to Itachi placing a kiss on his cheek.
Itachi did his best to hide the blush but knew his face heated up, "Y-Yeah… I'll make sure to come when I can."
Time Skip Nine Months Later
Izumi had just given birth to their daughter who was just a few seconds old. Izumi was thankful to Itachi when this had happened. The doctors in the land of waves did a great job making sure the baby was alright. Almost eighteen and a father already, with Izumi holding their girl with black hair and black eyes. She looked like a miniature version of Itachi, but as a female, "She's beautiful." Itachi placed a hand on his daughter's head.
Izumi smiled, "Thank you Itachi… thank you so much." Izumi placed a kiss on Itachi's lips as the two separated. Itachi and Izumi Uchiha were Seventeen-year-old parents with a daughter.
"Thanks for this Izumi… you know I'm glad we had this time together." Itachi kissed Izumi's forehead as she smiled up at him weakly.
"T-Thank you." Izumi laid her head back down as she let a small breath out. Itachi saw her chest stop rising and he closed his eyes. He picked up his daughter in his arms and frowned, "You gave me something else in life too Izumi… thank you… I'm sorry Yui-chan but I know we would have been great parents for you." Itachi wrapped his daughter up in a towel and kept her warm. He put on the clothes they bought for her. He took her and went towards the Orphanage and dropped his baby girl on the front porch. Itachi made a shadow clone to go bury Izumi and to place her eyes into a chakra filled water to keep them from decaying. Itachi walked in front of the orphanage and laid his daughter in a basket. He smiled as he kissed his daughter's forehead as a tear ran down his cheek, "I'm sorry for being an incompetent father… terrible one at that… I'm sure you'll find a loving family Izumi. Hopefully, I can meet the family that took you in… even if they or you won't ever remember me." He knocked on the door and left a note on Yui's basket. Itachi then Shushined into a tree. He waited until that door opened and the orphanage picked the baby up and held her close.
She read the note that Itachi left and let a sigh out, "Poor thing… seems you weren't born not that long ago…" The orphanage lady looked around and closed her eyes and smiled, "Welcome home dear, you'll be taken well care of here." She closed the door and turned the front porch light off. Itachi went back to their house and made sure to bury Izumi himself. He then placed her eyes in a seal on his wrist. He put his Akatsuki cloak back on and made his way towards the base as if nothing ever happened. As if Izumi never even existed, or his daughter.
Itachi had Izumi's eyes saved because she wanted him to help her unlock her Mangekyou Sharingan. So, he used Tsukuyomi to force her to relive the death of her father. Then he added in the Kyuubi also killing him, her father, and her mother. Forcing Izumi to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. She had them unlocked incase Yui were to ever awaken them, she wouldn't have to go blind.
End of All Flashback
Itachi would stop by once in a while and check to make sure Yui grew up alright or at least decently. He would drop by and leave cash for the woman to help support the orphanage and more. He would occasionally and accidentally bump into his little girl when she was growing up. He would give her some food if she needed it or money. Though once things in the Akatsuki got too busy, he stopped seeing her altogether. It's been a total of three years since he saw her… three years that's when she was roughly six or five, "I'm glad she is in a good place… found a good home." Itachi was in a dark cave with Hiruzen nodding his head.
"I'm glad things turned out the way they did. Seems Sasuke-kun has taken a liking towards Yui-chan… though I wonder how he would react if he found out. She is your kid." Hiruzen questions as Itachi nodded his head.
"Yes, I know… I wonder how he'll take it. If anything, I didn't count on this to happen… so I wonder how this will turn out." Itachi added as Hiruzen nodded his head.
"I'm sure everything will turn out alright. Naruto-kun is taking great care of her, I'm sure Yui is quite happy to have Naruto-kun and Eri-chan." Hiruzen stood up ready to leave, "Take care Itachi… again I hope one day you can come back as a hero. You know… Tsunade-chan will know of this as she is the next Hokage. So, she will need to learn what really happened… not only that she will want to heal you." Hiruzen turned his head not wanting to let the Uchiha die.
Itachi shook his head, "I should die for my sins Hokage-sama, Sasuke can do that for me."
"What? Leave your daughter behind? I think not Itachi… you might be wisest and smartest in your time, Itachi. You're also a fool, throwing away a chance to live through all this. Being a father… it's the best thing any Shinobi could possibly dream of. Mother or father, both roles are essential." Hiruzen left leaving Itachi to stay quiet and leave in a murder of crows.
Flashback (Jiraiya side Naruto's Age: 7)
Jiraiya was on his way to meet up with an associate in the Nami no Kuni, "Ungrateful little brat… bullying me to buy him more ramen. Can't believe he got into my diary… found out I was a virgin." Jiraiya closed his eyes and let a sigh out, "Ahahahah! I should tell Kaa-chan and Nee-chan!"
"You little! You're a little devil" Jiraiya shot back at Naruto.
"Be careful Ero-Sennin otherwise, Kaa-chan going to learn you've been trying to get me to read those trashy books." Naruto smugly said back.
"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" Jiraiya shouted back as Naruto giggled and laughed at the virgin pervert.
"I'll stay quiet if you get me ramen!" Naruto threw his fist into the air as Jiraiya had a sweat drop appear on his forehead.
"Ugh, that little brat… I swear he gets it from his mother's side." Jiraiya had a smile appear on the corner of his face, "You know what… I'll rectify that mistake… after all my own pupil got lucky with the hottest lady in all of the Elemental Nations." Jiraiya perversely stated with blood running down his nose.
With Naruto
"AAACCHOOO!" Naruto sniffled and rubbed his nose with a tissue.
"Naru-chan are you feeling alright?" Tsunade began to run a diagnostics test on Naruto.
"I'm fine Kaa-cha… someone is talking about me. I'm suddenly in the mood to punch a pervert." Naruto mumbled out as Tsunade smirked proudly.
"That's my boy!" Tsunade stated proudly as she ruffled his head of hair.
Back with Jiraiya
Jiraiya made it to Nami No Kuni and met with his contact and left. Since he had time to kill before he went back to his surrogated son… his pervert beating surrogated son. He decided to hit the bar and get something to get his mind off of Naruto, "I swear that little brat knows how to anger anyone." Jiraiya took a slug of sake from, a saucer.
Then a woman came walking up, she had red eyes and white hair. She sat next to Jiraiya with a small tint of pink on her cheeks, "Well hello there." She said as she leaned on the counter.
Jiraiya smirked, "Score!" "Why hello there fair lady? How can I help you?"
"Well aren't you a charmer." She adds with her smirk on her face appearing bigger.
Jiraiya gave the woman a once over and agreed that she was quite pretty, "The name is Jiraiya it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Oh, one of the Three Legendary Sannin? Also, the author of the Icha-Icha book series." The woman said with her eyes wide.
"Awww crap." Jiraiya knew he was going to get his face bashed in.
However, the beating never came as the woman smiled, "Well that's interesting… I wonder… do any of those positions in Icha-Icha any fun~?"
Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat, "Woah… I mean… I've never actually."
"What!? You're a… AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!" She started laughing as Jiraiya grew a tick mark on his forehead.
He grabbed her arm, "Hey just because I am one doesn't make me any less of a man!" Jiraiya retorted as the woman slowed her laughing.
"Oh? Aren't you bold? Well, then I'd be happy to pop the cherry of a Legendary Sannin." The woman leaned closer into Jiraiya's grasp as he felt his body heat up.
"Alright then… let's get out of here." Jiraiya smirked, "Yo this woman is a complete score! "
End of Jiraiya's Story (Back to main Story)
"Congrats Jiraiya… you're a father." Tsunade let a sigh out not believing that Eri… a random girl Naruto picked up from Nami no Kuni. End up being Jiraiya's child which he didn't even knew he had!
"Oh, my Kami." Hiruzen's face palmed as Jiraiya stood there shocked.
Jiraiya stood there stunned as he couldn't find words to explain it. He looked at Eri and Yui who were in the other room while they were in the lab, "I'm a father… she already was calling me Tou-san, to begin with… you think she be mad at me?" Jiraiya looked at her, "That I left her and her mother alone… her mother died after childbirth. At least that's what I think happened."
"Ero-Sennin…" Naruto got Jiraiya's attention, but Naruto stopped and shook his head, "No I gotta be mature about this. Ero-Sennin has been there since I've been a kid. I look up to the pervert…" Naruto walked up and placed a gentle hand on Jiraiya's hand helping him calm down, "Tou-san… if you and Kaa-chan have been raising me right. It seems Eri-chan was raised right, I'm sure she'll forgive you."
Jiraiya's, Tsunade's, and Hiruzen's eyes widen when they hear Naruto call Jiraiya Tou-san. Jiraiya hearing this gave him even more confidence than he had before, "Thanks Naruto… that helps a lot. Now if you excuse me… I need to talk to Eri." Jiraiya walked over to the two girls as they were talking and giggling.
"Hey! Tou-san!" Yui and Eri leaped into his arms giving him a hug.
"How are my two little saplings doing!?" He smirked as he gave them a big hug, Jiraiya rubbed both of their heads, "Now I need to talk to Eri something important, Tsunade-Hime as something to tell you Yui. I want to talk to Eri in private."
Yui nodded her head giving Jiraiya a salute, "You got it Tou-san." Yui turned towards Tsunade and Naruto with a skip in her step.
Naruto felt Sumo rubbing against his leg as he picked the dog up and held her in his arms, "Hey Sumo it's been a while hasn't it?" Naruto smirked as Sumo began to lick his face as Yui made her way over towards them.
Back with Jiraiya and Eri
"Eri I need to know how you feel about me… maybe I should say see me?" Jiraiya asked as Eri was confused about the question.
"What do you mean about that?" Eri looked at her father figure confused; unknowing Jiraiya is her real father.
"Well, the thing is Eri… I'm your actual Tou-san… I mean blood related Tou-san. You're my daughter." Jiraiya said with a smile on his face worried about how Eri would react. Yui who was just told of this envied Eri a bit. She wanted to know who her real father was too.
Eri had tears begin to form in her eyes, "W-Wait you're my real Tou-san… like not adoptive but my Tou-san, Tou-san!?" Eri began to sniffle with more and more tears swelling in her eyes.
"Yes, I am… I'm so, so sorry for not being there. If I knew the mother, I had spent a night with… she was pregnant with you. I would have come to visit." Jiraiya felt his own emotions getting the best of him.
Eri smiled as she leaned in and placed a kiss on his cheek hugging him, "I forgive you Tou-san, if things didn't turn out the way they did. I might have never met Yui-Nee she would have never been my Nee-san. I probably would have met Naruto-Nii but I'm glad things turned out the way they are." Eri replied wiping her tears with a big grin on her face.
Flashback Before Tsunade and Naruto Called for Everyone to Come
"Kaa-chan… should we not tell Yui who her Tou-san is… I mean Sasuke deserves to know right?" Naruto asked as Tsunade put her finger on her lip.
"Sasuke yes, he can learn who she is… then Yui will want to know who her father is. How would she take to knowing who her father is." Tsunade let a sigh out, "He killed his entire clan… yet to have a child that makes no sense."
Soon someone came walking in, "JIJI-SAN!" Yui and Eri shouted as they ran up and hugged the old man.
"Sensei?" Tsunade poked her head out shocked to see Hiruzen already here.
Hiruzen put his two surrogated granddaughters down, "I have to talk to Tsunade-chan and Naruto-kun in private, I'm sure you guys will learn of this in the future. Right now, there are somethings you girls can't know." Hiruzen rubbed their heads with them both puffing their cheeks out.
Hiruzen went into the back with them and said, "Tsunade-chan… even you Naruto-kun we need to talk. You need to know the real reason why Itachi-kun did what he had to." Hiruzen closed his eyes, "Tsunade-chan as the Sandaime Hokage I grant you access to this secret along with Naruto. An S-Class secret that I, Danzo, and Itachi only know." Hiruzen opened his eyes as he began to explain the strain that leads up to the Uchiha Massacred.
After some explaining, Tsunade eyes closed her eyes and nodded her head, "I see then… Sasuke doesn't know of this… this is a lot to take in."
"Yes, indeed it is." Hiruzen turned to Naruto, "You look like you have something to say."
"Why would he have Sasuke kill him then… that doesn't make any sense. Itachi has a daughter… he knows of her I would have to think." Naruto crossed his arms and thought about it hard, "Wait… Itachi did this so he would have Sasuke stay loyal to the village. Now that he also has a daughter which would give Sasuke more reason to stay loyal to the village. Now Sasuke isn't alone anymore and has a nephew." Naruto opened his eyes slowly and look up at his surrogated grandfather, "Jiji-san Itachi really is a hero and deserves to be praised."
Tsunade smiled at this as she nodded her head. That moment she knew she raised her son right, he looked underneath the underneath, "Yes, Naruto-kun he is the smartest, wisest Shinobi I've ever met. Possibly could be Hokage someday, I'm hoping he returns home to see his daughter. At least be in her life."
"He won't do it because he thinks he deserves to die doesn't he." Naruto added as Hiruzen nodded his head as Tsunade nodded as well.
"Itachi-kun is also very ill and sick, he doesn't have many years left either. I've never seen this disease before; I'm hoping he at least gets to tell Yui who he is." Hiruzen turned his head to look out the door to see Yui and Eri playing a board game.
Naruto closed his eyes and thought about it, he then smiled and opened them, "We should tell Yui… but obviously we can't tell Sasuke until its time." Naruto looked up at his mother, "If you were able to tell me that my Tou-san was Minato Namikaze. I think we can tell her; she just can't tell others. I say Sasuke can learn who she is… who knows Yui could change him for the better."
End of Flashback
"Yui we have someone to go talk to, there are some things need to discuss." Naruto smiled as Yui looked up at her brother confused.
Tsunade smiled as she placed a hand on her head, "Sensei, let's go, come one you two we need to go talk to someone." Tsunade smiled looking at the daughter of Jiraiya as he scooped her up and placed her on his shoulders.
"Oooo Oni-chan can you do that for me too!" Yui asked excitedly since Eri was on Jiraiya's shoulders.
"Sure." Naruto smiled as he picked Yui up and placed her on his shoulders.
The family is full of adopted children and newly found parents. Made their way towards the Uchiha compound. Many people all bowed or said, "Hello Hoakge/Hello Senju-sama/Tsunade-sama." They all said respectfully, soon they found themselves in at Sasuke's house as Naruto rang his doorbell.
After a few seconds Sasuke opened the door and looked at everyone confused, "Why are you all here… Senju." Sasuke looked at Naruto.
Naruto smirked, "Ahhh relax Uchiha we're here to talk… it's about your clan." Naruto rubbed the back of his head. Naruto
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and let a sigh out. He waved them all to walk in until Yui grabbed onto his arm, "Sasuke-Nii-chan!" Sasuke flinched a bit but relaxed and accepted what was going on. Naruto smirked, Sasuke has never given any girl the time of day to talk to them. Let alone let them hold his hand.
They all made their way to the family room as Naruto said one word, "Yui show him."
"Show him what?" Yui looked at all of them confused, Sasuke was just as confused.
Eri said, "Your eye thingy." Eri giggled as Yui smiled and nodded her head.
Yui sent her chakra to her eyes as her single tomoe began spinning as Sasuke's eyes widen in shock, "W-What? How does she have the Sharingan... unless she is another member… but how? I thought… he killed them." Sasuke looked off on the side angrily but pushed the idea of what Orochimaru out of his head. He didn't want to be shown up by the Senju Heir.
Hiruzen let a sigh out and said, "I'm not too sure either, but I do know that she is related to you."
Sasuke's eyes widen in shock, "W-What? How is that possible? Tou-san would never." Sasuke was interrupted.
"She isn't your sister… she is your nephew." Naruto added as Yui's eyes widen along with Sasuke's.
"W-Wait… y-your saying that she is… Itachi-Nii's daughter…" Sasuke looked at Yui and was able to put her face and Itachi's face together. Sasuke didn't know what to think… how to feel… he couldn't even think straight.
Yui said, "Hey Sasuke-Nii why is there a weird thing around you, it looks fuzzy?" Yui didn't know what it was but she saw a weird thing around Sasuke.
Naruto raised an eyebrow along with Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Eri had no idea what was going on. Sasuke's eyes widen as he looked at Hiruzen, Hiruzen nodded his head, "Sasuke I know you can trust them they would never do anything to hurt you."
Sasuke relaxed his shoulders as a poof of smoke appeared around him. Everyone's eyes widen except for Hiruzen, Yui, and Eri. Hiruzen knew what was going on, but Yui and Eri had no idea. Standing in front of everyone was Sasuke was a girl with long dark hair. When in the sun her hair shined blue almost. Her body was much slimmer, her eyes were soft black eye color. Her hair was a bit longer than her Sasuke appearance. Her hair was long on the sides of her face, her hair wa sup in a ponytail with that messy spiky part of her hair. Then a single ponytail came down to a point near her shoulder blades, "Oh… didn't see this coming." Naruto looked at Sasuke not expecting he to be a she!
"What! You're a girl! That's so cool! That means your Sasuke-Neesan… unless that is your real name." Yui asked confused as Sasuke shook her head.
"Sasuke is just a name I came up with fool everyone back in the academy. I've always done a good job pretending to be a boy when I was really a girl. My real name is Satsuki Uchiha…" The last heiress of the Uchiha Clan stated nervously as everyone was still pretty shocked by this revelation.
"Why did you hide that you were a girl?" Eri asked curiously as she walked up to Satsuki wanting to take a look at her.
Yui smiled too, "You're prettier as a girl than as a boy! You should marry my Onii-chan!" Yui said blatantly as everyone faulted and fell on the ground.
"WHAT!" Satsuki let out accidentally dropping her boy voice, "M-Marry!?"
"Yui! What are you saying! He's too young!" Tsunade reported as Yui giggled.
Yui did a twirl with a happy skip in her step, "I mean Kaa-chan Onii-chan is going to need someone to take care of him! I've already asked Grayfia-chan, Ayame-chan, and I'll probably ask Irina-chan! I mean Onii-chan can be pretty hopeless sometimes!"
Naruto felt an arrow shot through his heart, "That's so cruel Yui-chan." Naruto fell to his knees as Yui shrugged her shoulders.
"You're too indecisive! You don't even recognize your own feelings for Grayfia-chan!" Yui walked over placing a hand on her big brother's head, "It's okay Onii-chan that's why these beautiful ladies could take care of you!"
Jiraiya was giggling perversely thinking about Naruto hooking up with multiple girls. The boy would have a harem, "WAIT! NARUTO DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!" Jiraiya ran past Tsunade and Hiruzen. He picked Naruto up by his shoulders and pressed his forehead against Naruto's, "YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEAN!?" Jiraiya began giggling with his smile on his face.
"What's that?" Naruto asked worried about his perverted father's antics.
"YOU COULD GET A HAREM! THE UCHIHA, THAT GRAYFIA GIRL! THE RAMEN GIRL AYAME! MAYBE EVEN MORE! YOU'RE A WALKING TALKING BOOK PROTAGONIST THAT GETS ALL THE GIRLS!" Jiraiya perversely said as nothing else could be heard but Hiruzen's hand slapping himself in the face. Satsuki looked at him in disgust with Eri and Yui looking at their Tou-san confused. Meanwhile, Tsunade was holding her fist up with a fire appearing around her and in her eyes.
Jiraiya froze feeling Tsunade's aura, "You. Pervert. Yui. Eri. I'll be back."
"Ohwelllookatthetime GOTTA GO!" Jiraiya went to bolt towards the door until Tsunade appeared in front of him grabbing his face with one hand. She slammed his head into the floorboards.
Tsunade stood up and walked out the door, "Eri… Yui Kaa-chan and Tou-chan are going to play doctor bye!" Tsunade said with a sweet but yet sickly smile.
Yui's eyes widen, "Ooooo doctor sounds like fun! We should play that Eri!" Yui looked at Eri as she nodded her head agreeing.
Hiruzen said, "I envy their innocence so much." Hiruzen knew there would be reports of people complaining about wails of screams coming from a perverted Sannin.
"Wait what is the real reason why you hid your identity." Naruto turned to look at Satsuki as she nervously crossed her arms and grabbed her biceps.
"Eri-chan, Yui-chan how about you guys come with me to visit Biwako-Baa-chan she has been wanting to see you girls. She wants to see your Sharingan Yui, you two can play with some toys that we got for you." Hiruzen said with a smile on his face as Yui and Eri both smile and began to drag Hiruzen out of the house. Before they left Hiruzen nodded his head to tell Satsuki that it was okay for her to tell Naruto.
Once the two were alone Naruto sat down and smiled, "What is it Satsuki?" Naruto asked as she let a sigh out.
"It's simple, I've pretended to be a boy to hide from the Civilian Counsel. They'll try to enforce the CRA onto me. Granted they don't have much influence over clans, but there is a law that allows them to force that onto me. That's the CRA." Satsuki said as her body shook nervously. Naruto remembered what the CRA was, as Shizune taught him what it was. She told him that he doesn't have to love multiple women. He can love just a single person, it's easier on guys than it is on last female heiresses.
"I see… it is harder on girls, Shizune-Nee told me that. They would force you to have multiple partners. I can see why it's hard for you, but don't you worry. You don't listen to those fossils, your Satsuki Uchiha you follow the Hokage not them. You do what you want." Naruto smiled, "I'll fully support you no matter what. We're comrades so we'll watch one another's back! Don't let those damn fossils scare you. Though I have no doubt they'll try to get me into this stupid CRA too."
Satsuki smiled and blushed a bit as she heard Naruto's comforting words, "Thank you Naruto… you're the first person I've told this to. Thank you…" Satsuki was able to let that settle in that Naruto know who she really is.
"Well now that we talked about that let's talk about the giant tailed beast in the room." Naruto added as Satsuki took a deep breath and let it out, "Wow using us a idiom." The Nine Tails heard what was going on and took an interest. "You like never take an interest, why the sudden one now all of a sudden?" Naruto asked internally as the tailed beast said nothing.
"Yeah… why did Itachi-Nii have a kid… I had no idea. To think it's Yui-chan of all people." Satsuki still wanted revenge for what Itachi did to her and her clan. Now learning that he actually had a kid confusing her even more than before, "It makes no sense… why would he murder our entire clan… then have a kid." Naruto closed his eyes trying to think this as well.
"Yeah… even I'm not too sure he was just a regular shinobi, right?" Naruto asked Satsuki, all Naruto knew he killed his clan left his little sister alive.
Satsuki shook her head, "He became an Anbu Captain at a young age and was in it when he was 13 years old and served for a while… when he was around sixteen."
"Anbu Captain… Anbu I know will do assassination like missions. Go, hunt and kill Rogue Nin and all that other stuff. I wonder… do you think Itachi could have been ordered too." Naruto mentally sweats at this; this means his Jiji would have given this order to do so.
Satsuki froze at the idea and nervously said, "I-I don't know… he told me to hate him… despise him… to get power beyond the Sharingan." Satsuki remembered his words, ""There is no value in killing the likes of you… My foolish sister… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me! And live a long and unsightly life… Run away… run away… and cling to your pitiful life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me." "To only obtain these eyes… is to kill your best friend. If you obtain these eyes you will be the third person including myself to utilize the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, at present, you aren't even worth killing." "The Mangekyou Sharingan."
Naruto narrowed his eyes, "It's your path Satsuki, but all I can suggest is to trust in your comrades. You being a girl doesn't change my ideals." Naruto stuck his hand out in front of him and made a fist, "Don't let that Pedomaru win you over, all he wants is your eyes." Naruto smirked, "Uchiha."
Satsuki let a small giggle out at Orochimaru's name, "Yeah… but let's keep it a secret… between you and I." Satsuki looked at Naruto with some hope in her eyes. "Maybe… just maybe he can be my first real friend. I bet my Uchiha Ancestors are rolling over in their graves."
"Well, I'll leave ya be we got some serious training for the Chunin Finals! I'll be waiting for you." Naruto smirked as he stood up to leave, Satsuki put up Sasuke disguise again.
Satsuki nodded her head, "Kakashi-sensei is going to be training me to use my Sharingan. Maybe see if Yui can join us to get an early start on her training." Satsuki added wanting to start spending time with her nephew.
"Yeah, I'll make sure to send Yui-chan on over." Naruto waved to Sasuke leaving just then Kakashi dropped down.
"Yo." Kakashi gave Naruto a salute.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei you here to give Sasuke his training." Naruto asked as Kakashi nodded his head.
"Yea, sorry but I won't be able to take ya. I'm taking Sasuke into a secluded area to train. Sorry I won't be able to help you as much as I want to." Kakashi rubbed the back of his head upset not being able to help Naruto.
Naruto nodded his head, "That's okay Kakashi-sensei I'm going to train with Ero-Sennin, Yugao-sensei, and Yamato-sensei. Probably Kaa-chan as well I want to look further into more medial ninjutsu." Naruto began to trot off to Hiruzen's house to take his sisters' home. Before Naruto left, "Hey uhh Kakashi-sensei when are you taking Sasuke out?"
Kakashi tilted his head confused, "Uhhh probably tomorrow morning why?"
Naruto smiled, "Well I was hoping you could let Yui-chan join you two. I'm sure she would be a surprise on how strong she is." Naruto knew that Kakashi would be confused.
Kakashi thought about it and shrugged his shoulders, "As long as she knows to not get into the way too much. I'm sure she'll be alright, though I must ask why?"
"Well, you'll see when you begin training her." Naruto smirked as he disappeared in a shushin.
Kakashi grew a tick mark on his head, "Hey that's my thing! Leaving my Genins hanging is my job!" Then tears began running down both of his eyes, "THEY GROW UP SO FAST!" He began crying into his sleeve as stream ran down his eyes.
"DYNAMIC ENTRY!" Might Guy shouted trying to kick Kakashi. Kakashi dodged and stopped crying almost immediately, "This is so unyouthfull! Why are you crying my greatest rival!"
Kakashi stared at the trail where Naruto left for a few seconds.
…
"You say something?" Kakashi looked at Guy.
"Damn you Kakashi! You and you cool and hip ways!" Guy shouted upset, "For feeling upset! I'll do 500 laps around the village to get my youth back!" He took off like a shooting star.
Hiruzen's House
Naruto made his way toward the house and knocked on the door, "Hello there Naruto-kun!" Biwako smiled kindly at the boy. She turned her head towards in the house, "Yui-chan! Eri-chan Naruto-kun is here to take you home!"
"Onii-chan!" Yui and Eri both came running out as they gave their big brother a hug, "Goodbye Obaa-chan! See you soon!" The two girls gave Biwako a kiss on the cheek as Naruto gave her a hug and the three left.
"Did you two behave?" Naruto asked knowing the girls did so.
"Yeah! Me and Eri-chan played doctor! I got to pretend to be like Kaa-chan healing people!" Yui said with excitement as Eri nodded her head agreeing.
"Yui-Nee is going to be a great doctor one day!" Eri added with enthusiasm.
"I bet now; Yui I got a proposition for you. How would you like to begin your training a little early? Would you like to train with Sasuke and Kakashi?" Naruto asked as Yui looked at Naruto confused.
"What? I thought Sasuke was." Naruto placed his hand up to his lips as Yui realized that she had to keep that a secret, "Sasuke was being trained by Kakashi only?" Yui changed smartly.
"Yes, indeed he is, but Kakashi also has the Sharingan and he can help you further evolve it and get you stronger. Do you want to become a medical-nin?" Naruto asked curiously as Yui nodded her head quickly.
"Yeah! Just like you and Kaa-chan! I want to be the best Shinobi ever!" Yui threw her fist into the air then her punched her fist in front of her.
Eri latched onto Naruto's arm hugging him, "Onii-chan you think I can maybe train with you and Tou-san during your training?" Eri asked nervously as Naruto placed a gentle hand on her head.
"Of course, you can silly! You don't need to ask!" Naruto smiled as Eri's eyes widen and her mouth widen like Yui's.
"You aren't leaving me in the dust Nee-chan! I'll become stronger than you!" Eri said with newfound confidence.
"Oh yeah! Well, I'll hold you to that we're gonna be the strongest Kunoichi in the leaf!" Yui stated proudly for everyone to hear. The bystanders all watched and cooed at the adopted Senju sister of Naruto.
Naruto chuckled as he shook his head, "Come on we need to get home so we can notify Kaa-chan that you guys will begin your training. Also, be mindful of your stamina if you get tired let us know. You're still young and growing, we don't want you guys to hurt yourselves."
"You got it Onii-chan!" Yui gave Naruto a salute with Yui nodding her head.
Naruto was arriving at their compound and saw Grayfia dashing along with the roof stops, "Girls tell Kaa-chan I'll be home in a bit. I want to go talk to Grayfia-chan; I'll be back in a bit." Naruto waved to them taking off into the rooftop as well.
Before Naruto arrived at his house
Grayfia just left Root headquarters, "Grayfia, stop it with these foolish emotions! You are to seduce the Senju Heir! You work for ME! I need to make sure Hiruzen is dead after Orochimaru invades!"
"I-I'm sorry Danzo-sama it's just that… Naruto is such a nice person. I don't know what these feelings are… why can't I just see what these are?" Grayfia shot back as Danzo growled back at her.
"Dammit, I knew I should have placed that curse mark on you! You better chose Grayfia, otherwise, I'll make sure Kurenai is killed too, I have no problem offing her!" Danzo threatened as Grayfia's irises changed to black slits as she looked at him.
"You know full well that I'm capable of taking down your root. You always keep us weaker than you, you know I'm one of your strongest. Even Naruto could take them down… I don't tolerate you threatening Kurenai-Nee. Let me leave I'll stay quiet about this." Grayfia lied, she was done this was the final straw for her.
"You know too much, it's clear to me that you are defective, and you must die. I'll see if I can shift this death onto someone else." Danzo raised his hand up for his other root to grab Grayfia.
Grayfia quickly jumped back and pushed a wave of ice charka out. She froze anything and anyone that got near her, "You lay a finger on Kurenai, I'll personally come and kill you!" Grayfia growled at him as Danzo frowned.
"Root capture her and we'll place a curse mark on her. We'll then kill Kurenai in front of her to make sure we break her." Danzo signaled
Grayfia continued to dodge and weave her way out. Grayfia even had to kill a few of her ex-allies by freezing them solid. She felt her chakra drain from that since it takes a huge amount to do so. Grayfia then was surrounded as she quickly dodged a few attacks and killed some of the root members. Then she a Root came behind her and slashed down cutting her back. Her blood began to spill out. She then hit by a fireball which burned her lower back where the slash was. Then was hit by a rock pillar slamming her into a wall. Then another fired off a wind jutsu that cut her calf making it even harder for her to walk. All cuts were deep and needed medical attention, but for now she needed to get out. Grayfia used the remaining of her chakra and froze her wounds shut to try and escape, "Naruto if I don't make it, I'm sorry for deceiving you. You don't ever have to forgive me. Just know you were truly my first best friend." As if Kami was smiling down on her. Grayfia let out one last push of her charka causing an ice blast to shoot out like a wave. The Root in front of her froze in their step, Grayfia didn't know it. She froze their blood still; she froze their hearts forcing it to a halt. This gave her just enough time for Grayfia to find her way out of the base hopping along the rooftops of Konoha. She made a mad dash towards home, towards Kurenai. She knew going past Naruto's house would do her good since he was a sensor.
She was done with Root, done with Danzo, she was going to start living her life for others. Not just herself, she needed to stop protecting her own heart from others. She closed those gates off long ago, but no more. Root was a mistake, an idea she thought was good. Turned out, it was all for naught. It was a way to escape herself, escape others, so she never has to feel again. Damn… Damn that Naruto and his personality, it forced her to change. Either for better or worse.
Now
When Naruto told Yui and Eri to go to their mother. Naruto said this quickly because he sensed Grayfia's chakra was in distress. Naruto took off as he went to follow her quickly, once he stopped, he saw her go into her house and shut the door. Naruto made his way towards her window to see check on her. Naruto went to open the window and saw Grayfia on the ground with a pool of blood staining her rug. Naruto quickly tried to open the window, but it was locked, Naruto looked around and saw a plant in her room. He quickly manipulated the plant to extend out and unlock the window.
Naruto hopped inside to find Grayfia bleeding badly from the back. She also had lacerations on her legs and stomach, "Grayfia! Stay with me! Say something!" "What the hell happened? I didn't sense any fights! I didn't even feel Grayfia's or any other chakra being flared." Naruto flared his chakra to Hokage heights.
With Tsunade
Tsunade saw the two come in, "Where is Naru-chan? Did he go somewhere?"
Eri responded, "Oh he saw that Grayfia girl that went past us. She seemed in a bit of a hurry… her chakra it seemed worried and scared." Eri added as Tsunade raised an eyebrow at this.
"You think Onii-chan is getting all kissy, kissy with her!" Yui giggled at the thought of her big brother having a lover.
"Over my dead body! He IS NOT dating anyone!" Tsunade grumbled out as she began to cut the vegetables for dinner. Then she senses Naruto's chakra flare, "NARUTO!" Tsunade quickly made a shadow clone, "GIRLS STAY HERE!" Tsunade shot out of the Senju compound towards Naruto.
With Hiruzen
Hiruzen was in his office as he was doing paperwork, "Dammit Minato… you just had to leave me with all this." Hiruzen grumbled as he signed and stamped and signed a document after reading it. Just then he sensed Naruto's chakra flare, "NARUTO!" "ANBU! ON ME!" Hiruzen shot out of his seat with his battle armor already on and smashed through the window. With his Anbu on his heel, though they were shocked at how fast the Old Hokage moved.
With Naruto
Naruto was beginning to heal Grayfia trying to stop her bleeding. He was covered in blood from closing her wounds. He kept looking at her and found more and more wounds on her. Some were burns, wind cuts, and earth abrasion on her body. Naruto found several broken bones, and even frostbite marks. She was low on chakra as well, she on the verge of chakra exhaustion. Naruto kept rotating her body smearing more and more blood on himself. He found her just littered with wounds, "What the hell happened Grayfia." Naruto felt that pain in his heart. The thought of losing her was hard… no unbearable. Naruto continues to push his charka into healing Grayfia.
Just then three Anbu appeared in the room, Naruto looked around and saw them, "They aren't Konoha Anbu…" Naruto prepared to fight them off.
"Leave the girl, she is ours." One said with a monotone voice.
"Hell no!" Naruto prepared to strangle these guys to death and even use wood to save them if he had to, but before anything else happened.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SON!" NECK CRACKER! Tsunade crashed through the wall and appeared next to one Anbu and slammed her fist into his face. His entire head made a 180 degree, there was also a lot of cracking in the Anbu's face. The jaw was broken, but the spin was completely severed along with his head facing wall where his body face Naruto.
The other two tried to escape, but before that could happen. Three Anbu appeared in the room and tackled them to the ground. Hiruzen walked in through, "Neko, Tenzo, and Boar take them to Ibiki and Anko. Tell them to get any info out of them if they can. Then I want them executed." Before anything could happen the two Anbu pinned down stopped resisting.
"Hokage-sama they're dead." Neko replied as she removed the Anbu's mask. He was foaming at the mouth, "Cyanide pills." Neko said as Hiruzen sighed.
"Dammit alright take them away see if you can find anything about them. Then dispose of the bodies." Hiruzen ordered as the three Anbu left taking the bodies.
Tsunade ran over and checked on Naruto, but he said, "Kaa-chan we need to heal Grayfia, it seems they were after her." Naruto continued to heal Grayfia, "She has had many lacerations, deeps ones to the bone. I healed most of them, then there is a burn that's healed, abrasions, broken bones, and even frostbite marks where her lacerations were. She must have used her own ice to try to stop the bleeding but ran out of chakra."
Tsunade began to heal what she could for the young girl. The two continued to heal her for another few minutes as Kurenai came running in, "What happened! Grayfia!" Kurenai kneeled to check on her.
"She is fine, we fixed all her broken bones and lacerations. The frostbite was her trying to stop herself from bleeding out. She has extreme chakra exhaustion and won't be waking up for a few days. She is fine now but let's take her to the hospital and get her on fluids. Her blood levels are low, she'll need a blood transfusion she seems to have lost a good amount." Tsunade concluded as she let a sigh out.
"We're going to have to pull up her blood type then." Naruto added until Kurenai chimed in.
"She has A+ so I'll know she'll be alright." Kurenai let a sigh out, "That leads to our next question… how did this happened."
"Danzo… those three might have been Root." Hiruzen added as she squinted his eyes, "Hawk!" He called out as Hawk landed, "Kurenai do I have your permission to search Grayfia's room."
Kurenai froze, "Y-yeah you do… though I'm quite curious too. I'll look as well." Kurenai stood up and began to look around along with Hawk.
"Come on let's take her." Naruto stood up and has a shadow clone placed Grayfia on his back.
Grayfia lightly mumbled, "I-I'm sorry." Grayfia passed out again as Naruto looked at her confused.
"Naruto are you going to stay there with her?" Tsunade asked with a slightly worried tone.
"Yeah, I am, I'll be alright Kaa-chan. Just watch over Eri and Yui! Besides Shizune-Nee is there if I need anything." Naruto jumped out the hole Tsunade made in the wall and took her to the hospital.
With everything said and done Hiruzen went back to his office to file this incident. He waited for Kurenai's and Hawk's findings.
With Naruto
Naruto took her into the hospital, "Hello welcome… Naruto!" Asia looked at him covered in blood and shock.
"Come on we need to get her to a room and get fluids. She also needs a blood transfusion." Naruto added as Asia nodded her head.
Chisato came walking in, "What happen!?" She looked at Naruto covered in blood; it clearly wasn't his.
"No time to explain, we need A+ blood for Grayfia. She was injured badly and needs a blood transfusion." Naruto added as Chisato left and went to get the blood transfusion. Asia and Naruto went and set Grayfia up in a bed and hooked her up to fluids. Chisato quickly came with the blood and started a blood transfusion.
Once she was hooked up her let a sigh out, "She'll make it, I'm sure of it." Asia added with reassurance for Naruto.
"Yeah, she has a great friend watching out for her." Chisato walked up next to Naruto.
That's when Naruto smiled, "Thanks for the sudden help, I'll stay here to make sure she is alright. Since I'm here I'll help out." Naruto added as Chisato and Asia nodded their heads. Naruto quickly made a hand seal and drew water out of thin air. The water got his clothes wet and washed off all the blood in his clothes. Then his hands and face, he then dropped the water into the sink. He used a wind jutsu to dry his clothes almost instantly.
"Much appreciated, thank you. Shizune-san has been a great help showing us the ropes." Asia said with respect and admiration.
"Yeah, I looked up to her too Shizune-Nee is a really good medical-nin." Naruto added while nodding his head.
"Well I'm glad, otherwise we wouldn't have learned so much. Shizune told us that we've already surpassed her. She doesn't give herself enough credit." Chisato walked with Naruto and Asia to the front. Chisato and Asia were doing their best to help Naruto ease his mind. Especially after seeing Grayfia this injured.
"Thank guys." Naruto added as they looked at him, "Sorry for not visiting more, I got caught up training for the Chunin exams and everything."
"No, no, it's okay we get it. You're a Shinobi it's okay." Asia quickly added with a blush staining her cheeks.
Soon Shizune came walking by, "Oh? You two chatting up a storm already with Naruto-kun? Well, good luck." Shizune waved taking a patient into a room. Chisato and Asia began blushing as Naruto narrowed his eyes at Shizune.
In Grayfia's Room
Naruto's clone was sitting by Grayfia's bed as he made sure to guard her. C. Naruto eyes laid upon Grayfia's sleeping face. She was at peace… she seemed at ease maybe that's a better term, "Grayfia… what happened to you." C. Naruto thought as he looked at her.
Root Base
"Were you able to at least scratch her?" Danzo asked his Root as they nodded affirmatively.
"However, we're unsure if it's guaranteed that we did. The other three who went to check failed. One was killed, while the other two did suicide." The Root member added as Danzo nodded his head.
"Well, we may have not placed a curse seal to keep her quiet. Placing a memory seal on her was better than nothing." Danzo began to weave through a set of hand signs, "This will force her to forget anything and everything involving me." Memory Death Seal: Release! Danzo bit his thumb and drew the seal similar to Grayfia's. Thankfully he kept copies of what each of his Root member's memory seals were.
With Grayfia and C. Naruto
Grayfia laid peacefully in her sleep until a mark appeared on her back. Then it began to spread throughout her body. C. Naruto took notice, "GRAYFIA!" C. Naruto ran over to see marks running up her throat and then her face. He has never seen marks like these before. Grayfia thankfully was out cold, but this seemed to strain her body. C. Naruto quickly dispersed to warn his real self.
With real Naruto
"You guys definitely know what you're doing. Your charka levels have increased a lot too." Naruto stated proudly of Chisato and Asia.
"Well, I keep up that training regimen you had planned for us." Chisato hoped Naruto would see her growth.
"Yeah, Shizune-san has us work on our chakra control often. Even offered us training, even Tsunade-sama asked if we wanted training to become a medical-nin." Chisato said excitedly, "She said my charka control and levels were high for an average civilian. She is working on getting me my Shinobi license so I can go out on missions." Chisato said proudly.
"Yeah, I'm still working on it my chakra levels aren't as the same as Chisato-san's." Asia admitted as Chisato shook her head.
"You need to give yourself more credit, your control is much better than mine." Chisato wanted Asia to feel reassured about herself.
"Come on Asia don't doubt yourself like that. I bet you're just as amazing as Chisato." Naruto patted her on the back along with Chisato.
"He thinks I'm amazing?" The two both thought at the same time with a blush.
Just then Naruto turned around and ran at Kage like speeds towards Grayfia's room, "GRAYFIA IS IN TROUBLE WE NEED TO GO!" Naruto ran towards her room as Chisato and Asia quickly ran to follow him.
Once Naruto got inside, he quickly ran over and began to run a medical scan on her. He saw the markings towards her head. Naruto began to send chakra towards her head to see what was going on. Suddenly Naruto's perspective changes completely.
In Grayfia's Mind
Naruto had no clue where he was, "W-What? Where am I?" Naruto looked around, then he looked up to see many scrolls. He walked up and saw the black marking stabbing into the scrolls. Naruto ran up tried to stop it pulled the black tendrils off, "The hell are these things!?" Naruto shouted in anger as he tried to pull them out of the scrolls, "Kit these seem to be the girl's memories. That seal seems to be trying to remove memories."
Naruto grabbed onto them and ripped them off trying to stop whatever it was doing. Naruto even saw that the tendrils were trying to erase other memories. Just then he heard, "Stop, stop it Naruto!" Naruto felt hands on him and pulled him off the scrolls as he was thrown to the side.
Naruto shook his head and stood up, "W-What? Grayfia what are you doing? How are you in here?"
Grayfia smiled, "I deserve this, I'll tell what those are. I want to let those finish their job." Grayfia said with a small smile as she put her hands in front of herself, "Naruto… I want you to know that I was ordered by Danzo… Danzo Shimura to seduce you. When he found out you were the last Senju Heir. He wanted me to seduce you so you would get me pregnant. Then I'd take the baby and give it to Danzo to raise. At that time, I was a Root member… hell I was still one about a couple or so hours ago. I was loyal to Danzo… until I met you… you changed who I was. I started to feel things that I've never felt in all my years growing up." Grayfia saw the look in Naruto's eyes as he looked at her upset. "Yeah… that was the expression I was looking for." "All I can say is sorry… I'm afraid there was more than that… the thing is. I was going to go through with it after Chunin Exams too. Things began to change once we met… then I began to rethink things during the Chunin Exams. Naruto… you're such a nice guy… I've done nothing but try to push you away. Now I've even hurt you… make matters worse. Danzo didn't only just want me to seduce you. He also wanted me to get close to Yui and Eri. Eventually turn them into Roots themselves as he thought he could coerce you into his Root too." Grayfia turned her head to the side as she had a frown on her face.
Naruto stood there looking at Grayfia in shock… anger… no rage! "Tell me… did you join them because you wanted to? Were you forced to do this?"
Grayfia said again, "I joined the root… Danzo offered to help me control my powers and give me training. I even did this behind Kurenai's back too." Grayfia brought her hand up and frowned, "I don't get it… I don't even know what I went through with this. In the end… you… it was you who changed me Naruto." Grayfia dropped her hand to the side and smiled at Naruto, "Kurenai told me that I'd meet someone special… someone, who would help me feel like a person. Not some devil or monster that every hated and despised. Everyone in my birthplace hated me… well enough to try to kill me." Grayfia looked up at the scrolls.
Naruto looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Kami dammit! Dammit!" Naruto looked at her with anger, "TELL ME IT'S A LIE! TELL ME!" Naruto shouted as Grayfia could only smile.
"Yes… this much I figured. The one person I could have been happy with, who could have helped me open up more to others. Was Naruto… I've hurt him the worst way possible." "It's not a lie it's the truth… I did it because Danzo ordered it. I was a Root… always have been, but to make up for this I should die. Once this jutsu is done, I'll die… an ally once told me about this. Only Danzo's most talented and strongest in Fuinjutsu can do this. He must have a Yamanaka in their ranks." Grayfia looked at Naruto again and saw conflict in his eyes.
Naruto didn't know how to feel anymore, he was mad. He was so mad that Grayfia was going to do that to him. No, not the fact she was going to do that to him. She was going to do that to their child! It was a lie… the seeming bond and trust they had was all a lie, "So it was a lie… these feelings I developed for you… all a LIE!" Naruto shouted angrily, "You were going to do that to Yui and Eri!?" Naruto clenched his shirt over his heart, "I trusted you… I swore that I'd protect you and keep you safe… KAMI DAMMIT WHY IS IT SO HARD TO HATE YOU!" Naruto shouted angrily as he had memories of them together. Training, going to eat ramen and doing missions together. Their interactions… it was all a lie… it was fake… "I thought I found someone I could like… I liked you Grayfia. No… I had true feelings for you. Yeah, we didn't know one another for a while. I felt like we had something… something special, I like you. I thought we could understand one another." Naruto felt the pain of guilt in his heart.
"Yeah… that's what I thought." Grayfia felt that same pain in her heart, to think that Naruto felt the same back to her, "Well don't worry once this jutsu is finished… I'll die." Grayfia looked back at where her memories were fading. She began to forget whom she even was, "I deserve this much."
"Grayfia… you've hurt me… you were going to hurt my Imoutos. We're still allies, but I don't think I could ever feel that way to you again." Naruto said this as he walked forward grabbed onto those tendrils, "You still admitted it was wrong… I'll give you that much… we're just comrades. I won't let you die, but don't expect me to be your friend." Naruto yanked hard on those tendrils and began to channel the Kyuubi's chakra, "Thanks fuzzy butt." "Shut up… it's not fuzzy butt." Like that the tendrils were melted away as Naruto was cast out of Grayfia's mindscape.
Real World
Chisato and Asia watched as Naruto placed his hands on Grayfia's head stopping those black tendrils. Naruto opened his eyes and backed up from the spot he was in. Naruto looked down at the ground with resentment and anger, "I don't get it… why… why did you work for him. To do that to my family… my possibly future family." Chisato and Asia saw Naruto have tears run down his face, "I liked her… she… she wanted to use me. For him…" Naruto didn't know what to think as he turned around and left, "Asia, Chisato, watch over her for me. I-I need some time to think."
A/N: That's it! I hoped you all enjoy! Now, here is my question. Should Grayfia be redeemed? I know she was everyone's top pick. I've never done anything like this before. ALSO for everyone's knowledge, Grayfia DOES NOT remember anything about the invasion anymore. Before Naruto got there the tendrils removed that information from Grayfia before Danzo could finish her off and kill her. How the mark would have killed her? Simple after her memories would have been lost, the seal kills the host the seal was placed on. It basically sends a shock to the brain afterward killing the person. Now, should Grayfia even be allowed to be with Naruto? I know a lot of people were quite salty, yeah I did it on purpose. It was to help Grayfia build character development, she would have to work hard to even earn Naruto's friendship back. He may never forgive her, and never get together with her, or he later in time forgives her and the two fall in love? Now, remember so far, the small harem is Grayfia? She is an IF right now for most people I bet. Ino and Chisato… Kuroka as of right now isn't part of the harem and never was. I also need to know if the harem a good size? Too big? Too small? I know I've asked this in the past already. I just like the extra feedback is all. If you also have any questions regarding age with Itachi and Izumi having Yui. I had to adjust their ages slightly so keep that in mind, please. TitanFall007 OUT! Ja Ne! (Yes my Naruto and DxD story will be updated next).
