"Hey little dragons" a bald man wearing a fighting like clothing said to them
"Where are we and who is this" Kimiko said as she got up recognizing Dashi from Omi's description and saw an older looking man that looked like Omi but was different
"This is a friend timeline varies trust me on that kid I made the sands of time I know time travel better than anyone" Dashi said to her "some things are the same or can vary you guys were just like us when we were your age" he said reminiscing
"Who" Kimiko asked curiously
"Me, Chase, Guan, and Wuya" Dashi said seeing her surprise "oh c'mon you had to know her fire being her main method of attack" he said plainly as he knew this one was observant
"Why are we here master" the man said to Dashi
"So glad you asked Ping Pong" Dashi said with a smirk "I owe someone a favor and with Omi botching up time he saw time to collect" he said as he laughed a little
"And what's that have to do with me" Kimiko asked curiously
"All of you there is a person this friend of mine has his eye on he's real special if he were a monk he'd be an exceptional dragon a man of multiple elements all of yours" Dashi said looking at them both
"Multiple elements but…..Wuya" Kimiko said to him
"Picked up on that huh" Dashi said impressed Kimiko picked up on them "Wuya may have been a dragon before going to the Haylin but she was a dragon of two elements fire and earth" he said to her
"Her golems and her strength" Kimiko said to him in realization
"Yeah one of the many things she can do" Dashi said to her
"And this person is like her" Kimiko asked slowly
"Not in personality but yeah in a lot of ways" Dashi said to her "like I said to you earlier he has all your elements" he said to her
"Master you've gone in depth about all this and your past but you haven't told us who this person is or where we are going or what would happen to us" Ping Pong said to him sagely
"Smart as ever" Dashi said to him with a smile "ok let me explain this boy is Naruto Namikaze or Uzumaki had to take the mother's maiden name for a bunch of dumb reasons but thats him" he said telling them about his life and how old he was all of it "when Omi broke time he didn't kill you or even destroy your own time he just made things really weird" he said to her "you'll be going to Naruto's world but you won't be in flesh and blood you'll be apart of his seal" he said going over the excessive details
"I'll do it" Kimiko said firmly
"Perfect" Dashi said as he snapped his fingers as Kimiko disappeared and it was him and Ping Pong
"You didn't tell her everything master" Ping Pong said giving him a dirty look
"Smart kid" Dashi said to himself "when I did this I hope this would level the playing field" he said holding a puzzle box opening it and sending it contents the same way with Kimiko
"But it didn't the balance of good and evil or more precisely my sons must be maintained" an elder man in robes with three eyes said as he appeared
"I assume you were the man with the favor" Ping Pong asked curiously
"Yes" the man said to the man with the circular head
"So who did Indra get or more precisely...when" Dashi said as evil was patient and would know when to present itself as it hit people at moments of insecurities or when they were at their weakest
"That's not as interesting as who they both will receive training from or more importantly what they'll be exposed to" the old man said to them
"You said Kimiko would be part of his seal is there more to it than that" Ping Pong asked Dashi
"I swear kid you're giving me a run for my money" Dashi said impressed that the future generation wasn't lacking "let's just say I gave Kimiko an out sort to speak at a later date" he said to him
"And the shen gong wu" Ping Pong asked simply
"Modified them they'll appear as tattoos or equipment if he wants" Dashi said as he worked the seal to act like a storage seal allowing Naruto or whomever he trusted to use the wu "any more questions" he asked as Ping Pong cleaned him out
"Yes will Kimiko be safe" Ping Pong asked him curiously
"I've made certain….arrangements" the old man said with a chuckle
(earlier)
"You're kidding me" Kurama said to his father happy to see him almost crying in joy but his father told him he had a limited amount of time and began to explain
"No my son" Hagoromo said to his fox son
'My brother huh' Kurama thought as he always thought there was something funny about Naruto especially when they shared a space in his mother "wait you're asking me to...not be nice to him" he asked his father
"No I'm asking you to have a fresher perspective I understand your….hatred for humanity" Hagoromo said as he clutched his staff hard as he was angry at Indra's reincarnation for what he did to Kurama "I'm just telling you that Naruto has lived an equally hard life not much if any joy" he said to him
"Fine I'll judge him on his actions but I won't hold his damn hand" Kurama said to his father
"That's all I ask" Hagoromo said with a smile as he left
(present)
"Ok I am ready you can send me" Ping Pong said with a smile
"Later master of wood" Dashi said snapping his fingers
"Things will get interesting" Hagoromo said to Dashi
"Yep" Dashi said as they merely waited "so how's Naruto doing" he asked losing any amusement he had
Hagoromo took in a deep breath
"That bad" Dashi asked in disgust
"Worse no child should be abused especially this child" Hagoromo said to him "but I asked Ping Pong for a favor" he said with a mischievous smile on his face
'And they say Ashura was the sneaky one' Dashi thought to himself
(Leaf village)
"How is this possible" Hiruzen said to himself seeing a man impaled by would that came out the ground and stabbed him "who did this" he asked as the man was still alive but bleeding heavily as the anbu were looking around
"It was the fox brat I was finally gonna kill him and then this came out the ground" the man said before Hiruzen stabbed him in the neck killing him
'Naruto is to young for blood on his hands' Hiruzen thought to himself as the child was barely even 5 'how did you do this Naruto' he thought as this was wood style a blood trait belonging to the Senju clan not Tsunade or even her father possessed it
(next day)
"Any change" Hiruzen said as he was looking at the anbu stationed outside Naruto's apartment
"No been inside all day" an anbu said to him
"Not surprising" Hiruzen said as he felt like he need to set certain things into motion
(1 week later)
"What" Tsunade Senju said to her sensei as he tracked her down and had just told her something impossible "he can't be of the Senju bloodline" she said to him quickly "Kushina was an Uzumaki end of story" she said to her
"But what about Minato" Hiruzen said as Minato's blood was his own being just an orphan
"Please my father and grandfather were dead when I was in my teens" Tsunade said to him poking holes in whatever ideas he had "and most of the Senju clan died before I was even born so there is no one-what about your grand uncle" she was saying before her sensei interrupted her
"My sensei wasn't the most noble of men" Hiruzen said as he knew his predecessor was a great man but he had many faults that even Tsunade had to admit he had
'Could Minato have been family' Tsunade thought to herself as a few traits stood out like their facial features and similar spiky hair type
"Well I have no blood or dna to test this theory somehow or somewhere made it possible for Naruto to possess wood style" Hiruzen said to her simply "and I feel it'd be nice for someone to help him along the way of developing this skill" he said as she then glared at him
"No I won't go back" Tsunade said as she got up and was gonna take off
"He's just like them you know" Hiruzen said making her freeze "this isn't a tact Naruto wants to be Hokage and has the burden of being a jinchuriki a task you know to be difficult" he said referring to Dan and her brother then Mito as Tsunade spent much time with her in her later years and watched Kushina for a bit after the sealing when she was a child
Tsunade let a tear slip down her face the images of her brother and lover ever so clear in her mind
"Tsunade what I ask is a lot but...Naruto needs someone" Hiruzen said as he did his best which he had to admit wasn't much and he thought if he did this two people he felt that were family wouldn't suffer any longer
Tsunade calmed herself thinking about the two deceased people she loved and then thought about the boy who carried her grandmother's maiden name and that nagged at her a little and then she thought of Minato and she liked him as he was a good man, she took a deep and decided on something "I wanna meet him" she said to her sensei who was smiling "lose that damn grin before I knock it off" she said raising her fist which glowed with chakra "I need to go grab my assistant" she said to him walking away before coming back taking the large bottle of saki and left again
'Of course' Hiruzen thought as the bill decided to come at that moment 'are all Uzumaki's like this having some kinda vice' he thought to himself as he thought it was only ramen with Kushina and Naruto
(few days later)
"You know when you die I personally hope Kushina is waiting for you just so she can kill you again" Tsunade said as they had been watching Naruto for nearly a day and so far she had been less than pleased with her sensei about Naruto's living conditions and she had seen how he had been looked at and glared upon "he's malnourished and is rubbing certain spots I'm guessing abuse" she said as she looked at him
"Sadly" Hiruzen said as he couldn't do anything about the children at all times and the adults were all but cruel and encouraged it as killing children was a no
"This is terrible" Tsunade said as Naruto didn't have to even be doing anything for people to look at him with disgust "you're waiting for something" she said knowing her sensei well enough "what is it" she asked in a demanding tone
"I wonder how he activated the wood style as you know your grand could use it without hand signs for some techniques I wonder if Naruto possess the same skill" Hiruzen said to her
Tsunade glared at him as using this as some kinda experiment but she had to admit with them there nothing could go wrong and she had to admit she was also curious
(1 hour later)
'And people say I'm a shitty drunk' Tsunade thought as a drunk man tried to attack Naruto and the man was soon enveloped inside a tree as the tree grew around and bound him "he killed the last guy" she asked her sensei as she asked about the first time
"No I did he just got a mortal wound from Naruto" Hiruzen said to her
"Well he'll be to drunk to remember I'm gonna catch up to Naruto" Tsunade said as she was impressed by the boy's speed and stealth running as fast as most chunin 'reminds me of Minato and Jiraiya' she thought thinking only about the speed and stealth as both men specialized in that particular area
(few minutes later)
Naruto felt tired and exhausted not knowing what was happening to his body as he had been a little scared lately
"Hey kid" Tsunade said getting his attention seeing him jump like a scared cat finding that both sad and funny from such a simple thing "I'm not gonna hurt you" she said raising her hand and slowly cupped his cheek a familiar green glow appearing on it as she healed him 'he has a bruise' she thought as the man seemed to get a good hit in before Naruto ensnared him
Naruto felt some relief in her touch as it felt nice and he felt a little comfortable
'Not sure if I should be glad or sad that he feels safe' Tsunade thought as he seemed desperate for affection that he'd give it to someone he didn't know 'he's gonna black out' she thought as she was amazed he made it this far
(1 hour later)
"My lady" Shizune said in shock after what she heard her master say
"Are you….sure" Hiruzen said in surprise as this was more than what he thought he'd get
"Yeah I wanna...adopt him" Tsunade said as she looked at the boy in the longing as Hiruzen was right on the money she could see much of her lover and brother in him and she could tell he had the same will her grandfather carried
(next day)
"Ow" Naruto said seeing he was in a hospital and turned his head and saw the woman from last night "hi" he said not knowing what else to say
"Hi" Tsunade said calmly
(outside the room)
"You know this is a good thing" Hiruzen said as Shizune was pacing back and forth in worry "listen I know that Tsunade has many…...problems" he said as he'd be a fool to not admit that "but this I can trust her whole heartedly hell we might see improvement not only from Naruto but from her as well" he said to her
Shizune took a breath and had to admit he was right but she was still worried as….responsibility was a trait her master hadn't had such a good grip on and this was the highest level of it
(with Tsunade)
Tsunade was a little happy as Naruto was hugging her and crying into her chest as she told him she'd adopt him 'guess I'm a mom' she thought never thinking this day would happen
(1 week later)
"How is she" Hiruzen asked Shizune as he was visiting them
"Honestly it is like she's another person" Shizune said as Tsunade and Naruto did almost everything together
"She hasn't drank" Hiruzen asked her curiously
"Not a drop" Shizune said after a day or two she was concerned for a little while but she could see her master was truly enjoying her role as a mother
"No gambaling" Hiruzen said as that was Tsunade's strongest vice
"Not in the way you'd think" Shizune said as they went to a room and saw Tsunade playing with Naruto and losing "it's like they have opposite luck when it comes to gambaling" she said as Tsunade was jealous and angry as when she bought lottery tickets all the ones she scratched were busts while the one Naruto did was a winner
"Well at least we aren't losing money" Hiruzen said to her "how many more tickets did she make him scratch" he asked knowingly
"He cleared half her debt" Shizune said to him in a serious tone
"The boy has talents" Hiruzen said to her
Shizune watched the interaction with a smile as she had grown on Naruto and her master needed a light in her life and she believed that light was Naruto
(1 month later)
"Not a damn chance" Tsunade said to her master after he asked her to train Naruto
"Has he shown any signs" Hiruzen asked as he hadn't seen Naruto use the wood style in a while
"Maybe" Tsunade said as she and Shizune grew their own herbs and Naruto helped but one plant died due to certain conditions and the next day when they were gonna throw it out it seemed healthy 'nature based element' she thought as she had seen Jiraiya in sage mode knowing certain effects it had with animals and plant life with wood style being a natural element as close to nature as it was made it ideal for restoring plant life
"We need to know what he can do" Hiruzen said as he was keeping this as silent but when it was discovered all hell would break loose for everything Naruto represented as his parents alone would make him a target adding he could use wood style was like adding dozens hundreds of paper bombs to the fire
Tsunade sighed as she left the office
(next day)
"What is this" Naruto asked as he was given a piece of paper
"A piece of paper that lets you know your chakra nature" Tsunade said as she was predicting water and earth as that made up wood style "remember to just channel your chakra into" she said as she had begun teaching Naruto chakra exercises noticing he had jonin level chakra due to his heritage and jinchuriki status
Naruto channeled his chakra like she said and it turned to wood
'That's new' Tsunade thought as this was a kekkei genkai she thought the elements would be separate 'what the hell' she thought as she saw the wooden paper turn into wood chips 'wind' she thought in surprise then seeing some wood chips turn to rock, some burning, some getting soggy 'what the hell how is this possible' she thought as besides water and earth which she assumed making up the wood he showed he had shown wind and fire '4 out of the 5 elements' she thought in shock
"How did I do" Naruto asked her not knowing the gravity of what he asked her compared to the norms of all shinobi
"Let's just say my sensei is gonna be having a heart attack" Tsunade said to her son as he was an enigma
(few hours later)
"All but lightning" Hiruzen asked her curiously
"Yeah old man guess you might be replaced in a few years" Tsunade said as she believed Naruto would be strong as he was eager to learn but when it came to things like history he'd fall asleep
"How is he progressing" Hiruzen asked her curiously
"Fine as any child his age" Tsunade said to him
"But" Hiruzen said knowing there was more
"I've never wanted to so desperately kill people" Tsunade said to him as all the looks Naruto got all the whispers it drove her up a wall seeing it hurt him so emotionally as she tried to help console him but this was a critical part of growing up and to have it be denied to him was a true insult to Naruto's parents
"All we can do is be there for him" Hiruzen said as life was truly unfair and that was especially right for Naruto
(few weeks later)
"Are you sure about this" Shizune asked as Tsunade had an old scroll in her hands
"My grandfather gave these to me after my father passed as he wanted his family to have them if his skill ever came back in the bloodline" Tsunade said as her grandfather recorded all his techniques she just grabbed a few of them to see how Naruto would react to it as Hiruzen told her about an 'experiment' that resulted in someone else possessing her grandfather's cells 'Orochimaru I will kill you' she thought as her former teammate stole her grandfather's corpse he was a dead man
"How well do you think he'll do" Shizune asked as techniques varied from a person's chakra nature and aptitude much more so for people of kekkei genkai
"Not as strong as my grandfather but something impressive I'm sure" Tsunade said as Naruto found all kinds of ways to surprise her
"What techniques did you get him" Shizune asked curiously
"Wood dragon, wood clone, and wood style hand manipulation" Tsunade said as she thought about getting the one her grandfather designed for her grandmother when she became a jinchuriki as it helped limit and restrain the tailed beast chakra if it got to wild
"The wood dragon" Shizune said in surprise as like all dragon techniques for various elements she thought it'd be complex and hard to maintain and the way she described it on how her grandfather did it made
"He has the chakra for it" Tsunade said as this was practice
(1 hour later)
"Try again" Tsunade said as Naruto was trying the hand manipulation technique on an old style lock
Naruto tried forming a key and placed it in but it wouldn't turn 'hmmm what if' he thought manipulating the wood he made feeling around in the lock and broke it
"Interesting" Tsunade said as that was certainly an approach 'he tried to make the wood fit the lock' she thought understanding his method of choice but saw that he failed "try again" she said as he tried to not break it
(1 hour later)
"Huh not bad" Tsunade said as she knew there were different types of clones and each had their ups and downs but she saw little in the wood clone 'may burn quicker than a regular clone or maybe with enough water' she said as she inspected the clone of her son as he had mastered it fairly quickly easily making over a couple dozen
"I've never seen so many clones" Shizune said baffled by them all
Tsunade had to bite her tongue slightly as she and Naruto shared a small laugh
(20 minutes later)
"Awww man" Naruto said as he did the technique
"Not as big as I thought it'd be" Tsunade said seeing an adult anaconda sized dragon 'his chakra manipulation still needs work' she thought seeing the dragon was rough around the edges
(1 year later)
"Shizune can I ask you something" Tsunade said walking into the kitchen with a confused look where her assistant was drinking tea
"Yes Lady Tsunade" Shizune asked her wondering why she looked baffled
"Naruto's to young for sex right" Tsunade asked her her look still on her face
Shizune now looked at her master oddly "master Naruto just turned 6 he's far too young to have let alone think about having sex are you feeling alright" she asked in concern "what makes you think Naruto might be having sex"
"There are two unconcious and naked 6 year old girls in his bed" Tsunade said as Shizune looked at her for a minute before running to Naruto's room and seeing what her master saw and let out a scream
(1 hour later)
Tsunade and Shizune were looking at Naruto with a critical eye as they looked him over at a table
"Naruto I'm gonna ask you some questions and I need you to answer me honestly" Tsunade said to her son very seriously
Naruto nodded and sweated from his mother's look
"Have you ever heard of make out tactics or icha icha paradise" Tsunade asked him sighing in relief seeing him shake his head
"And you've never met this man" Shizune said as she transformed into Jiraiya
"No" Naruto said to her seeing both women sigh in relief "who is he" he asked them
"A pervert/the enemy of women" Shizune and Tsunade said together
"Forget about that do you know those girls" Tsunade asked not wanting to talk about Jiraiya as she wanted to talk about the girls not recognizing them as she knew all of Naruto's friends the few he had and these girls didn't resemble any she had seen before in the village
"Yeah" Naruto said as both women leaned forward wanting to hear him clearly "I dream about them" he said making both women lower their heads as that didn't answer anything and did add troubles to their minds
'Please give me a few more years' Tsunade said wanting Naruto to remain small and cute
"You dream about them" Shizune said wanting to explore what the child she saw as a younger sibling meant
(flashback)
"Oh this is just get of all the people I get stuck with I get the witch" Kimiko said in a sewer like place and was currently in a literal fire fight with Wuya in her flesh and blood form
"Oh such hateful words from an under developed brat" Wuya said as she shot her green flames
Kurama watched not even noticed by the two as the moment they woke up they were fighting and despite being insulted that they didn't notice him he wanted to see how this played out as it was better than nothing
(few minutes later)
"You two done yet" Kurama asked curiously making them jump in surprise
Both women soon felt a rush of power hit them
'So much bloodlust' Wuya thought to herself as this felt like pure evil
'This is so bad' Kimiko thought in fear
Kurama then explained to them some bits and pieces of where they were and threw in some threats to show he wasn't their friend
"Great stuck inside a child how fun" Wuya said sarcastically
"Better than being dead or nonexistent" Kimiko said to her flatly
"Lets see if we can see through the boy's eyes because seeing you and him isn't my idea of entertainment" Wuya said as being a ghost seemed more appealing than this, she opened a window and they saw outside through Naruto's eyes
'This saves me trouble' Kurama thought as normally he had to see through Naruto's eyes
They all saw Naruto running from someone with a knife trying to avoid him in an alley
"That's terrible" Kimiko said as he was just a child
"Life ain't fair kid" Wuya said while feeling a little anger as even though she was evil she wouldn't harm a child or praise someone for it
They saw Naruto get cornered and just as he was about to be stabbed a tree root shot up stabbing the man and as soon as Naruto saw this he ran
"Oh a killer maybe he'll join my side" Wuya said with a smirk
"That was self defense" Kimiko said as she wouldn't lose sleep over it if her or her friends did it
"Starts like that doesn't kill for a noble reason here do it again and soon you lose all sense and become a killer" Wuya said with an evil smirk
Kurama had to admit she had a point as a lot of people lost it after their first kill especially children
"He's terrified" Kimiko said seeing the blood on his hands and the tears in his eyes
"Give it time" Wuya said as killing became easier with time
They watched him get 'home' if it could be called that
"That is foul what are his parents thinking" Wuya said as they had access to his senses
"He has no parents remember" Kimiko said remember what Dashi told her and was gonna kill him for underselling and down playing it
"Oh now this is just sad" Wuya said seeing him get in bed and cry in fear and soon received a kick to the face
"Don't talk lightly of his pain you heartless witch" Kimiko said to her
(1 hour later)
"Hey fox what is this" Wuya said seeing a semi transparent Naruto on the floor unconscious
"He sometimes comes here in moments of unconsciousness we're in his mind or more accurately his stomach" Kurama said as the sealing science was weird
"Hey cutie can you hear me" Wuya said as she petted the boy's face
"What are you up to" Kimiko said in anger looking at the witch
"Oh shut up he dies I'm assuming we all die" Wuya said to her as Naruto opened his eyes a little
"You have pretty hair" Naruto said in semi consciousness
"Oh cute and charming" Wuya said with a smile as she then placed his head in her lap as Kimiko growled "jealous he likes me best" she said enjoying this greatly smiling even more as he got comfortable "it's alright I'm sure you'll develop eventually when you hit puberty" she said as Kimiko's jaw dropped "I mean with how underdeveloped you are I thought you were as runty as Omi" she said as Kimiko's hair lit ablaze "ah ah ah" she said shaking her finger as she pointed at Naruto "don't want to hurt him now do we" she said as this was perfect
"You terrible using a child as a shield how low can you go" Kimiko said looking at her in disgust "you know you're worse than that guy was I mean he tried to kill Naruto sure but to so absent mindedly use a child to protect yourself is pathetic" she said to her as they glared at one another "I've seen inside your head you know and let me tell you, you are no queen no evil doer you have others do things for you, you wanna take over the world good for you but at least Chase, Hannibal, and hell even Spicer had the dignity to do the dirty work and earn it what did you do use stone soldiers fight a few battles oh and fighting when Chase didn't give you all your powers you may be evil Wuya but your even more lazy and pathetic than Spicer ever was" she said as Naruto faded away
Wuya actually paused at that not knowing what to say
'Wow' Kurama thought as Kimiko tore Wuya apart 'some people need a good reality check' he thought with a chuckle
(few days later)
'No fair' Kimiko thought seeing Naruto meet a woman with a rack she'd kill for even Wuya was jealous at the woman's appearance
"Damn it what does that woman eat" Wuya thought as she looked at her own rack and felt inadequate
"Wonder what her diet is" Kimiko said as Wuya laughed "what hag" she said angrily
"You are a monk and you diet wow" Wuya said clapping her hands "you eat small portions and exercise and train and hell even meditate your body needs proteins in it to develop" she said as any martial artist knew to work off what they ate and do more exercise to develop
(few months)
"He is getting stronger" Wuya said as she approved of Naruto's training "you know if you trained like he did you and the monks would've been decent threats" she said as even for a 5 year old Naruto showed remarkable talent
Kimiko didn't answer her or acknowledge she was wrong as Naruto was training a lot for a boy his age
(few months later)
"Ok enough I swear I can not deal with you two" Kurama said as their spats were becoming less entertaining and more bothersome
"She started it" both women said to the giant fox
'Oh father give me patience' Kurama thought as he need to get rid of them he actually wanted rest now and soon an idea came to him and soon helmet loose a little of his chakra enough so that the seal wouldn't notice and grabbed hold of the women "bye" he said as they then disappeared
(outside the seal)
As Naruto slept two blobs left his seal and formed on both sides of him making 2 small versions of the women that were inside his seal
'Good luck brat my headache is now yours' Kurama thought actually meaning that as these women were hard work
(flashback end)
"Yeah I dream about them" Naruto said simply as both women seemed to have more questions than answers
(with Kimiko)
"What happened" Kimiko said in shock
"What did you do why are we children" Wuya said looking at Kimiko
"Forget that we're naked" Kimiko said covering up
"Oh please" Wuya said not at all bothered but did in fact miss one thing 'my assets' she thought missing her breasts and shapely rear
"Where are we" Kimiko asked her
"My son's bed" Tsunade said with an unpleased look on her face looking at both girls
Wuya actually had the decency to pale as she had seen through Naruto how strong the woman was and when she was at full power she was nowhere near as strong as the woman in front of her
(few hours later)
"So he does or doesn't have wood style" Tsunade asked as she saw Kimiko and Wuya ignite their hands and explain their origins and soon saw her son ignite his own hands
"No idea" the women said to her
"You're a magnet for trouble" Tsunade said to her son "ok we can't tell anyone about this cause I'm gonna be honest I've seen, heard, and witnessed some things that are just as crazy" she said as she had read reports and heard rumors about things of this nature 'I swear demons and other crap like this' she thought to herself
"So what now" Kimiko asked the big buxom woman
"I train you and you in turn train him" Tsunade said as she could sense their chakra was strong for their age
Just as Wuya was about to complain Tsunade shot her a look that said this was non negotiable "fine but I need to ask something" she said looking at the blonde woman
"What" Tsunade said raising her eyebrow
"How do I get mine to be that big" Wuya asked her as Kimiko leaned forward to listen wondering if the woman would answer
Both girls were soon on the floor with bumps on their head
(5 years later)
"I'll kill him I WILL kill him I hope I'm being clear" Tsunade said to her sensei as she had been getting failed tests and she knew Naruto knew the answers and he said he didn't take the tests she showed him so she decided to find out what was happening and n turn it seems Naruto told the truth and a lie as he did take the test but there was a genjutsu on his test from what Katsuyu could tell her as she sent her there to monitor Naruto and it turned out Mizuki was a traitor
"We can't be rash about this we don't know when or why he turned" Hiruzen said as learning who Mizuki was working for was important as he was having a bad feeling about this
"Mizuki is a traitor and he's teaching a class and is targeting my son why" Tsunade asked him wondering what he was up to
"Mizuki is an odd one" Hiruzen said as he wondered that as well as he knew many targeted Naruto but this seemed more than a grudge almost like it was a hobby for him
"I want my son's record corrected" Tsunade said as she knew Naruto was a good student
Hiruzen knew he had no way of not giving her what she wanted as he was a dead man if he said no "how are the other two" he asked curiously
"They're little girls how well do you think" Tsunade said as raising a son was much easier than those two as she now understood how much trouble she was at that age "I swear I was never this bad" she said letting out a sigh
"No you were much much worse" Hiruzen said remembering the girl clearly gambaling and having her strong temper "and don't deny it trying to hustle grown men at 7" he said as Tsunade constantly tried to play him and her grandfather and uncle at that age
"Hey you are just mad I beat you" Tsunade said reminiscing on the luck that she had then
(with Naruto)
"He's getting better" Wuya said as she saw Naruto running up a tree as Tsunade had recently introduced the tree walking technique "and he's certainly coming along nicely" she said seeing his well developed chest barely seeing any baby fat
"Stop staring hag aren't you I don't know a hundred times his age" Kimiko said to her
"If you're making a case for old women aren't you one as well I on the other hand am looking at him through the eyes of a 11 year old" Wuya said as she had to admit she liked Naruto as he was extremely non judgemental and was very kind "so how has he developed" she asked as Kimiko did 'secret' training for Naruto in the other elements
"He's insane" Kimiko had to admit as with the elements he was progressing naturally but for wood and wind he was doing exceptional as if he had been using it his whole life and longer
"Better than you" Wuya asked half kidding half serious wondering what the base was for his non dominant elements
"No" Kimiko said as she sparred with him in the years but she was better but had to admit that in a full on spar when he wasn't using one element he was incredibly clever
"Maybe he needs a better teacher" Wuya said as she actually snuck out with Naruto to do actual secret training and he fought with more aggression than to what Kimiko did 'monks I swear' she thought as the techniques were good but all the diets and mediation was a bit overkill
"Maybe he needs to be away from you" Kimiko said to her
'Jesus wonder if it's too late to start drinking' Tsunade thought as she rarely got drunk now a days and the first time she did it really sucked as Naruto was with her when she was hungover staying in bed with her which was sweet and made her feel guilty and now only drank in moderation something Shizune cheered for 'I swear these two need to learn to get along' she thought as she understood they were enemies in the past but now they didn't have what they had before
(1 year later)
"Happy birthday" everyone said as they were celebrating Naruto's 12th birthday
(1 hour later)
"We've held off on the training long enough he's ready" Wuya said as Naruto had been trained as best they could and he had yet to manifest the shen gong wu as they were waiting for him to do it
"Yeah but which wu will he have or manifest" Kimiko said not knowing which Naruto would get if he unlocked this ability
"Well be glad we only have like 1 year left of academy then we can have some fun again" Wuya said as the academy was boring
(3 months later)
"I'm sorry" Hiruzen said as a young redhead girl had come to the gates of the village and the men at the gate had said she had demanded to see him which he humored and when she came in she told him something surprising "you worked for Orochimaru" he said surprised one of Orochimaru's subordinates came here
"Yeah also I wanna see Naruto Uzumaki do that and I'll tell you most of the crap I know old man" the redhead
Hiruzen let out a puff of smoke from his pipe 'this day certainly will be interesting' he thought to himself
(1 hour later)
"Somehow someway I'm gonna kill Minato seriously is this shit genetic" Tsunade said as the girl 'Tayuya' wanted to meet Naruto for a few reasons that she knew of that were close to the vest "also Mizuki yeah officially gonna kill him soon" she said as she held off as she came to a few of Naruto's classes scaring the shit out of Mizuki making him scared to attempt anything with her son and thanks to Tayuya she knew the bastard was working for her traitor of a teammate
"We can use this information and use it to our advantage" Hiruzen said as he was going to give Naruto a jutsu from the forbidden scroll but this opened some doors for him as now Mizuki could place as a test subject chunin he may be but he was low in the ranks
Tsunade smiled as she knew her son was well above Mizuki's level and it'd be interesting to see him in action when the time came
"So what about me" Tayuya asked them curiously
Hiruzen had thought about it and the girl was skilled way above standard genin so he had a few options but she was still young "you'll enroll in the academy it's better that way" he said to her
"Anybody strong there" Tayuya asked curiously
"Oh yeah" Tsunade said proudly
'Well this may actually help' Hiruzen thought as he had an idea a while back but was missing a person
(9 months later)
"You know this is a little much even for me on the witch genre" Wuya said as they were all looking through a crystal ball in the hokage office
"So which one will he pick" Tsunade said hoping to everything it wasn't the reaper death seal as she explained what the technique could do to him as her Uncle made the technique
"Possibly the multi shadow clones if not that then your Uncle's technique" Hiruzen said to her as she knew what he was hinting at
Tsunade hoped it wasn't that cause then people would know who Naruto's father was as the technique, the looks, and even the last name would connect dots as Naruto's mother was famous and was the only Uzumaki not counting her grandmother in the village and it was known she and Minato were engaged
(with Naruto)
Naruto was study the scroll learning the multi shadow clone and practiced it
(Hokage office)
"Half hour not bad" Wuya said as she was told this technique was meant for people with jonin level chakra
"The fact Naruto made multiple attempts and did it in that time spoke highly of his skills" Hiruzen said seeing the smile of pride on Tsunade's face
They all watched Mizuki show up and try and take the scroll Iruka showing up was a bit of a small surprise but Naruto worked with it
Tsunade smiled as she told Naruto to refrain from using his wood style unless there were dire circumstances as once it got out it was open like a can of worms
'C'mon Naruto' Kimiko thought in worry
'Show us what you can do' Wuya thought wanting to see him in action where there were real stakes
They watched as Mizuki let the beans slip on him being the nine-tails jinchuriki but Naruto was impassive
"You told him didn't you" Hiruzen said as he knew it was bound to happen and he was honestly surprised it didn't happen sooner
"I'm honestly surprised the villagers kept their lips sealed for so long" Tsunade said as she always thought someone else would spill the beans but she told Naruto on his 7th birthday
They all watched seeing Iruka then tell Mizuki about his high opinion about Naruto
Everyone smiled at that as Iruka nailed it on the description of Naruto and soon saw the tears in Naruto's eyes 'kick his ass' they all thought wanting to see Naruto pummel Mizuki
"You hear that" Wuya said as she heard something
Everyone listened but heard nothing
"Listen" Wuya said as they were all silent
"A whistle" Kimiko said a little confused
"Idiot that's the wind it's picking up" Wuya said as she learned to listen at certain times to the elements noticing subtle changes even more so when she became a ninja "look" she said as Naruto began to glow and soon he had a golden sword in his hand
'The sword of the storms' Wuya and Kimiko thought in unison as that was the perfect weapon for Naruto as his wind rivaled his wood element they were then surprised when he just swung the sword instead of saying it's name and saw he actually activated it 'not even a chant and he activated it' they thought wondering if there was an outside factor at play
They all watched as Naruto's swing created a cyclone aimed at Mizuki shredding his stomach and all the nearby trees
"He just never stops does he" Tsunade said with a smile as she sighed
(Naruto's seal)
'What was that' Kurama thought as he heard something loose in the seal 'but what' he thought to himself
(next day)
"Oh c'mon" Kimiko and Wuya said to Iruka in anger
"Settle down" Iruka yelled at them "now your third teammate is Tayuya and your sensei is…ANKO MITARASHI" he said in shock as confetti soon exploded into the room along with a purple colored smoke
'Oh god' Kimiko thought as Wuya and Tayuya laughed
(3 hours later)
Naruto ws currently practicing his chakra control like he had been for hours as it was better than doing nothing all day waiting for someone who was late
'Wonder how the girls are' Naruto thought as he was stuck on a team that he did not like as Sakura was boy crazy and Sasuke and him had their issues but had a mutual silent respect, he decided to stop and looked at the sword of the storm wondering what he could do as Wuya and Kimiko said he'd either manifest the wu at certain times
"What's with the sword?" Sakura asked noticing the blade knowing he didn't have it before
"Nothing just something I picked up" Naruto said as he holstered the blade 'wonder what I can do with this' he thought to himself as he'd try to be a good wielder of the wu
Sasuke was looking at Naruto in interest as he saw Naruto as a challenge and respected him as his rival even though neither would admit it
"Yo" a man with silver hair getting smacked in the face with an eraser
(later that day)
Tsunade smiled as she watched her son stuff his face as she told him if something endangered his health or would make his performance slop he should do something different or the opposite
(next morning)
"Good luck with Anko mom said she's ok but is crazy" Naruto said as he and the girls left the village to the training grounds their areas in similar directions
"Great I traded one snake for another" Tayuya said as she whined
"Careful with that my mom said she's real temperamental about that even more than she is" Naruto said as the snake woman was the apprentice of Orochimaru and the woman had grown to resent him even more than Tsunade herself "just be careful mentioning him" he said to them
"Hated snakes anyway" Wuya said as she disliked Dojo very much
(Naruto's seal)
'What are you' Kurama thought as all he saw were blue eyes hiding in the shadows
(with Naruto)
"You're gonna fight" Kakashi said seeing Naruto still standing in the position he was in when he was giving instruction
"Yeah so how we doing this" Naruto said as he stretched "I really wanna test my skills" he said pulling out the sword of the storms and performed the multi shadow clone technique
'So I guess the rumors are true he did steal the scroll' Kakashi thought thinking that was a praise worthy accomplishment for someone his age
Naruto swing the sword hard which caused the wind to blow hard
'Hmm that sword is special' Kakashi thought knowing about certain weapons that were forged by special means to work with the elements or were forged to be unique 'tied to the wind element but it's strong' he thought to himself
(with Sasuke)
'He's good' Sasuke thought as he worked with a kunai a lot as he tried to be as skilled with a blade as his brother as his brother's skill with blades were unmatched
(with Kimiko)
'Damn it she's hiding' Kimiko thought as they were trying to hunt someone that knew how to hide
(with Wuya)
'Not in the trees' Wuya thought to herself as she pressed her hands on the ground 'that's it' she thought as she felt movement in the ground 'thank you Tsunade' she thought as despite her dual elements she rarely used her earth element not counting when she made her stone golems now she was able to fight with it more effectively and then smashed the ground not at Tsunade level but enough to be impressive
"Smart" Anko said bursting out the ground nearby and immediately ducked as Tayuya was sending a kick her back and when she landed it caused a crater
(flashback)
"So why'd you wanna meet Naruto" Wuya asked Tayuya finding it odd someone would want to meet someone she'd never meet or even be mentioned by Orochimaru
"Ask her" Tayuya said as she looked at Kimiko
"Me" Kimiko said in surprise
"Here's a hint this guy trained me cared for me and said yeehaw a lot" Tayuya said to them
"Oh god is he alive" Wuya asked as Kimiko stuttered
"No suddenly I heard a voice in my head thought I was going insane and he talked to me later trained me and before he I don't know faded he told me to come here look for Naruto Uzumaki" Tayuya said to them
"Dashi sent you here but the others god knows where" Wuya said to Kimiko
"And he's gone" Kimiko asked him getting a nod as that made her a little sad
(flashback end)
'Dragon of earth' Wuya thought as that played in tandem with her as she used fire and earth meaning she could back up both Kimiko and Tayuya in fights
"Nice try-" Anko was saying before she froze as she felt the heat around her rise and looked up to see Kimiko with fireballs in her hands
(with Naruto)
Naruto and Sasuke were both exhausted as they were fighting Kakashi
"I need you to distract him" Naruto said to Sasuke who nodded
Sasuke charged to Kakashi and punched right at him Kakashi catching the fist but Sasuke opened it to let go of smoke bombs "do it now" he said loudly
'Hope this works' Naruto thought as his hand glowed yellow and he ran into the smoke and Kakashi grabbed his glowing hand 'idiot' he thought to himself as Kakashi then froze "Sakura" he yelled as the pinkette wasn't suited for combat and was more along the lines for genjutsu and trap making
Sakura rushed to Kakashi and grabbed the bells "we won" she said to him
"How did you do that?" Sasuke asked curiously
"I was able to stun him it varies from person to person" Naruto said as during the fight he manifested another wu 'the golden finger' he tested it on a squirrel and it was frozen for minutes Kakashi no longer than 20 seconds
Sasuke hd to admit that was pretty useful when it came down to people
"Any else you want to share?" Kakashi asked as he was now stretching his limbs from being frozen
Naruto smiled and fired a line of web at Kakashi's feet "that" he said to him with a smirk as he also knew how to use the silk spinner
They were interrupted when they heard a loud explosion
"2 to 1 odds that's Anko's training area" Naruto said to them
(with Anko)
"Ok now that was awesome" Anko said covered in ash and gravel as her team looked exhausted "from this day forward we are team Anko" she said proudly as all the girls groaned from her ego
(1 week later)
"Chasing damn cats I swear this is crap" Naruto said as he hoped that all D-ranks went to hell, he slowly drifted of to sleep and as he slowly blinked wanting to sleep and as he did his eyes widened in alert seeing he was face to face with a large blue serpent inside a sewer and he fast to dodge a blue flame it shot at him
(next day)
"What is happening to him" Kakashi said as he came to see why Naruto didn't show up to training and when he came in he saw Tsunade trying to treat him as he was turning….blue "is he having trouble breathing" he asked her curiously as being blue meant lack of oxygen meaning he was choking
"No I checked he's breathing regularly and he's not cold he's hot" Tsunade said showing him a thermometer that said 104 degrees
"Is it" Kakashi said looking at Naruto's stomach
"No I checked" Tsunade said as this was not the nine-tails
(Naruto's seal)
"Listen we don't have to do this" Naruto said as he dodged a blue blast of fire "what the fuck is this thing" he said to himself
"Sapphire dragon" Kurama said to him answering his question as he had a scroll in his cell
"Thank you" Naruto said dodging another flame attack as a wall turned blue "why am I so tired" he asked himself as he wasn't getting hit
'The attacks happening in here it's spreading like an infection Naruto may as well have been hit' Kurama thought as his seal was apart of his body and his soul this place was a part of him as any other limb on her body so everything the fire hit was affecting him
"C'mon think" Naruto said to himself as he calmed down and thought running through his sewer "what did Wuya and Kimiko say to you" he said to himself
(flashback)
"So Wu responds to the owner" Naruto asked them
"Yes normally you have to touch it and it'll answer or it some cases be the first to activate it and it does what it does" Kimiko said to him
"Trust me there are certain wu that act on their own" Wuya said thinking of a certain giant golden baby
(flashback end)
"Hey fox did you turn this thing on" Naruto asked his voice bouncing off the walls
"No" Kurama said immediately and plainly
"It doesn't have an owner it wasn't activated by someone" Naruto said having a crazy idea
(outside the seal)
"He's getting bluer" Shizune said as Naruto opened his eyes and his normal sky blue was darker shade
"He should be dead" Tsunade said as his temperature was 110 degrees
(inside the seal)
"My arm" Naruto said as he clutched his left arm as it was blue from elbow to hand "I need to get closer" he said to himself as he faced the Sapphire dragon both starring the other down
The Sapphire dragon immediately shot it's flames at Naruto who dodged it coating the walls in it's color
(Naruto's room)
"What the hell is cooking" Wuya said coming in after training with Anko and as she did she saw Naruto in a tub of water and ice "what the hell happened" she asked curiously
"Naruto is turning blue and is burning a high temperature" Kakashi said as he poured more ice in it
"Did you say blue" Kimiko said walking inside in complete shock
(with Naruto)
"Your mine" Naruto said jumpring right at the dragon as he dodged another flame attack and the moment his right hand made contact he yelled "Sapphire dragon" he yelled as the dragon glowed a bright blue
(with the others)
"He's regaining color" Tsunade said in relief seeing him turn back to normal and slowly open his eyes
"Hey mom" Naruto said with a small smile "why am I so cold" he said shivering a little
"Good to see you're ok Naruto" Kakashi said to his student smiling in relief
Naruto despite freezing smiled as he got up and then stripped down to his boxers getting a look from his mother "I'm cold" he said to her as he literally had an ice bath
Tsunade knew she couldn't argue with that
"Let's give him some privacy" Kakashi said pushing Wuya and Kimiko out the former whining and the latter blushing
"Man I need a vacation" Naruto said as he relaxed himself
Tsunade stared at her son with relief and love as this whole time she thought she'd lose him but he came back to her 'thank you' she thought thanking whatever force kept him alive 'who am I kidding he did it himself' she thought as he was a fighter never giving in 'never stop fighting Naruto' she thought wanting him to
(Naruto's seal)
Kurama stood as he looked at the dragon on the other side of his cage as it was staring at him blankly seeing the dragon fluctuate as if it were shifting 'this may be something else entirely' he thought thinking the dragon was adjusting but how and why he didn't know
