Chapter 7: New Mission.
It's 5:48 am, Naruto just woke up to the smell of eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast being made. As quick as lightning he jumped out of bed before he ran downstairs and to the kitchen to see his two siblings sitting at the dining table and his mother cooking breakfast.
Naruto grins before looking down to see Scarlet rubbing herself on his leg. Naruto smiled before running to his mother and hugging her from behind surprising her.
"Well, good morning to you too." Kushina said.
"It wasn't a dream." Naruto said as he looked up at her.
Kushina smiled at this before she turned around in Naruto's arms and hugged him back.
"It wasn't a dream, musuko" Kushina said in a motherly voice, Naruto smiled a bit more before he let go and went over to the dining table and sat down next to his siblings as they smile at him, Scarlet then jumped onto Mito's lap and laying down as Mito started to pet her.
Kushina finished cooking the last of the food and set it on the table before sitting down and joining them on the meal.
"So, Naruto, what are we going to be doing today?" Mito asked as they ate.
Naruto stopped eating for a moment to think about it before answering.
"Well... I'd like to introduce you all to my team and Girlfriend if possible." Naruto replied, hearing Naruto mention girlfriend made Kushina do a literal spit take.
"W-Wait... Did you say 'girlfriend'?" Kushina asked with stars in her eyes, causing the triplets, scarlet and even Kurama to sweatdrop at this.
"...Um... Yeah, I did." Naruto said slowly and Kushina squealed loudly in happiness.
"My little Naruto has a girlfriend!" She squealed happily.
"Yeah, she's Hinata Hyuuga." Naruto said as he scratches his cheek.
"Oh, I'm so proud of you, dattebane." Kushina said before covering her mouth. "Sorry about that, it happens when I'm excited, sometimes." She finished while scratching the back of her with Mito and Menma chuckling a little bit at this with Naruto chuckling as well.
"I know the same happens to me, dattebayo." Naruto said.
They all shared a good laugh at this before resuming their meal, after they finished Naruto lead his family to training ground-7 to meet up with his team. As they arrived they see Sasuke and Sakura sparring against each other as Kakashi and Belial watch. Mito and Menma were shocked at Belial's appearance as they've never seen someone so freaking ripped before and they were also intrigued by the tattoos on his body that looked to be in the color of crimson blood. As for Kushina she didn't know why but just looking at the man caused a sensation she hadn't felt in years and she liked it for some reason.
"Come on let me introduce me teammates and sensei's." Naruto said, as lead them over to the group. The rest of team-7 noticed the new arrivals, causing both Sasuke and Sakura to stop their spar and wait for Naruto's family.
Naruto smiled as he saw them approaching his family before looked back at a tree stump where Kushina put her sword down at.
The curious child inside him came out as he couldn't resist to get a look at her legendary blade.
The sheath was masterfully made, it was black but what Naruto enjoyed looked at was the dragon carved into the sheath.
Not able to help himself he unsheathed the katana and saw the masterpiece of a blade. The handle was red like his mother's hair, and again there was a dragon on the sword as it traveled up the blade, looking close at it he could see a small carving of Kurama on the part of the handle, where it meets the blade itself.
It seemed to shine as he held it.
"Enjoying yourself."
This spooked Naruto as he turned around to see his mother standing behind him, as he was so lost in admiring her katana he didn't hear her approaching
"I-I'm sorry mom, couldn't help myself. I've heard the tales about you and this sword." Naruto said.
Kushina giggled seeing her son's enthusiasm about her sword.
"She likes you." She said.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this.
"Who?" Naruto said looking around confused.
"Kōhai."
"Who's Kōhai?"
"The sword you're holding."
Naruto looked at the sword in his hands as it shines again.
"The sword? What is it alive?"
Kushina giggled again.
"No, see you'll find that Uzumaki swords are cared for more than typical swords. We see our blades as a extension of ourselves, our bodies and spirits. Kōhai, is the sword that was forged for me before I was sent here by the hands of Uzu's greatest sword maker. In a way, our swords are like our friends. I could never really understand but whenever Kōhai was broken or cracked, she'd be twice as strong when I repaired her. I started seeing her as my friend, as when I got stronger, she got stronger with me." Said Kushina.
"Whoa." Naruto said amazed with the story "When did you name it, I mean her?" He corrected himself.
"A couple of years after I got her, you know I was around your age when I first received her? I still remember the first time Kōhai broke." Said Kushina as unknown to her the others were listening to her stories as she talked to Naruto,
"What happened?" Sasuke asked as he's also into the story just as Naruto is.
"It was a C rank which turned into a S rank." Kushina said taking a seat as the others sat down like children at the academy when a veteran shinobi or kunoichi would come by or even the teachers when they would tell them tales of their adventures.
"I forget his name but he was tough, he seemed to have the bloodline ability to cover himself in stones. When I used Kōhai to defend myself, she broke from his fist. When a Uzumaki is given a sword, he or she, is given training on how to fix the sword. Sure for others they'd replace it but our swords aren't like that as no other weapon is the same then the sword for us. And sometimes it's not swords, Uzumaki are also skilled in other weapons but everyone has just heard of our swords but we also use staffs, scythes, I even heard of a Uzumaki who's signature weapon was her gauntlets. Anyways, we were lucky there was a forge in the village we were protecting."
Kushina picked up Kōhai from Naruto.
"I could feel her sorrow, Kōhai had believed that she let me down but I reassured her that she wasn't to blame. It took me at least a day and when I was done, she felt different. She felt stronger than before. We cut down that rock man faster than he could realize. Kōhai was stronger as was I."
"Whoa." Everyone said.
"Could I use that sword?" Naruto said.
Kushina giggled again as she shook her head.
"What's so funny?" Naruto asked not understanding.
"When a weapon is forged for us, it's not like a weapon anyone can use. I won't lie Kōhai has been stolen from me, once or twice. But only the person the weapon is forged for can unleash it's true power. That's why I named her Kōhai or devastation. Because that's what happens when people take us on, naming your weapon establishes a bond which according to my parents makes the weapon stronger and it makes the user stronger as well. No one else but me can unleash her true strength but me as Kōhai was made only for me. But remember this, it's not the sword or even the swordsman, it's the swordsman using the sword. When your weapon and you work as one." Kushina explained as she held Kōhai in front of herself as the katana shines again.
"Whoa." Everyone said again before Kushina giggled again and sheathed Kōhai
"Sorry about that, dattebane. I sometimes get so lost in telling my stories that I forget about everything else." Kushina saidas she rubbed the back of her head, Naruto then noticed Kakashi standing a bit way from the group for some reason, he went over to his sensei to see what's wrong.
"Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said getting said man's attention.
"Yes, Naruto." Kakashi replied.
"Are you alright?" Naruto asked.
"I can't believe it." Kakashi said as Kushina approached.
"Still wearing that mask I see. You never did like showing your face." Kushina said as she smiled.
Kakashi reached a hand up and touched Kushina's shoulder.
"You're really here." Kakashi said.
Kushina just smiled in sympathy at this, knowing that Kakashi hasn't seen her since the night of Karuma's rampage, all because of that masked bastard.
"Well believe it, Kakashi. It will take a lot more then having a Bijuu extracted to kill me." Kushina said with a slight smirk, this caused Kakashi to laugh in good humor at this knowing how tough she can be.
"Meet, Menma and Mito." Said Kushina.
"Hello." Mito said.
"Hi." Menma said.
"Mito? Like Hashirama's wife?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, I am named after the wife of the first hokagē." Mito said.
"Yeah and she thinks it's some big responsibility but I think she's taking this whole thing too far. A name is a name to me." Menma said.
"Don't mind him, we swear he was a Nara in a another life time." Mito said.
Menma pushes her
"Am not."
Mito pushes him back.
"Are too!"
"Enough!" Kushina said as she covers her face
"Figured they'd fight, don't all siblings?" Sasuke said.
"Yeah, well these two fight over everything as Mito has a habit of overthinking things while a lot of times-
"Ha!" Menma said pointing at Mito.
"And Menma just doesn't care about a lot of things as he does show a lot of times Nara clan level laziness." Kushina said.
"HA!" Mito said mocking him making him smack her finger anyway before the two began smacking each other before Belial lifted them by their collars.
"Whoa!" The two said
"Stop it before I make you." Belial said sturnly, though what nobody noticed was Kushina having a small dust od pink on her cheecks from the sound of his voice.
"Sorry." The two said as he put them down.
"These two..." Kushina sighed out.
"Siblings, will be siblings." Kakashi said.
"I know, I just wish they didn't fight all the time, they get along when they need to but still." Kushina said.
"So... you're Kushina, our mothers teammate of the previous Uzu-Uchi-Haru." Sasuke said.
"Yeah, that's me. A shame about your mother, Sasuke, I never would've thought Itachi could ever get her, now your father on the other hand I'm glad is gone, no offense." Kushina said.
Sasuke shook his head unoffended.
"To be honest he wasn't much of a father, I'd be lying if I said I liked him. But what do you mean, you never thought Itachi could get her?" Sasuke said.
"Well Itachi was nowhere near your mother's level, she could've taken someone like him down with her eyes closed. Itachi was strong but not as strong as your mother." Kushina said.
"If I'm being honest I think that marriage with Fugaku was just an arranged marriage. Because she never seemed to be happy except when she was with you or Itachi. She never liked him, she'd always tell me that but there was nothing she could do." Kushina said.
"Then... why would she put up with him?" Sasuke said.
Kushina patted his shoulder.
"I think it was you and your brother that made her tolerate him. She may not have loved Fugaku but she sure did love your brother and you." Kushina said.
Sasuke never really liked his father that much, nothing he did ever seemed to be enough for him. No matter what cool jutsu he used or what he learned, it was never enough for him. Always wanting him to be like Itachi. Always looking at Itachi as the superior sibling.
But when it came to his mom, she always enjoyed seeing his progress even helping perfect a technique or fighting style he was learning. She always made time for him, to play when he was young or to give him pointers or even learn a jutsu. It was actually her who helped him with his fire jutsu whereas his father didn't do shit.
He hated his father with a passion always wondering what his mother saw in him. The one time he saw him in battle actually scared him a little. He was 'helping' some members of the police force with training. He saw him attack them without mercy, it wasn't training more like he was breaking their spirits.
If it wasn't for his mother those three Uchiha would be dead. That was when his fear and hatred of his father began, he only cared about power and loved to show others their place, Sasuke slept with his mother for at least a month or two from the nightmares he gained from that moment and from seeing his father using his sharingan.
"So how was it like working with my mom?" Sakura asked.
"Well your mother wasn't always the best person to get along with, when we were kids whenever she'd get mad like when I did something silly, all she'd do was hit me, that was before I became The Red Death and the red-hot habanero." Kushina said.
"Hmm, that sounds familiar." Naruto said glancing at Sakura, whom had a sheepish expresion.
"I have a question, did the Uzu-Uchi-Haru formation really start with you and our moms?" Sasuke asked.
"No, it actually began with Mito Uzumaki, Serena Haruno and Veronica Uchiha, the wife of Madara Uchiha." Kushina said.
"WHAT?!" Was their response,
"Madara Uchiha had a wife?!" Sasuke exclaimed as he read the battle and the origins of the fabled Valley of The End, the battle between Madara Uchiha and the first hokagē Hashirama Senju, but never heard of the man having a wife.
"Yes, as surprising as it is. They met during the time the Senju and Uchiha clans were at war. It didn't last long but Madara lost his brother because of Tobirama Senju, to be honest I don't think people liked him very much, they much preferred his brother who was... actually more like Naruto as come to think of it, following the family tree, Naruto is actually Hashirama's descendant. So he could have the possibility of possessing the wood style bloodline." Kushina said.
Naruto wasn't shocked as he knew of his lineage to the first and didn't really care. Sasuke and Sakura didn't really either.
"You kinda have a point, Tobirama was a bit of a stiff and dick." Naruto said.
Sasuke nudged Naruto smirking
"Hey with how fast he was, think that carried into other things?"
Naruto and Sasuke laughed, while Sakura giggled at the thought. Kakashi sweat drops at the sight, though while he held the man in high regards it does'nt mean he couldn't agree at the jab towards the Second, doesn't mean he'll say it out loud.
"So much negativity for the second." Kakashi said.
Belial glanced over and chuckled at what he sees.
"Hey kid, look what your mom taught your Gigan."
Naruto and the others looked over and saw Gigan who was their size standing in front of a bush.
With motions of quick speed Gigan swung his blade arms around and around before stopping as the bush was trimmed down to look like a shark.
"I taught him how to trim bushes, back when I lived in our house I would sometimes cut shapes and animals in the bushes around the place and keep them like that." Kushina said.
"Like those in rich people gardens?" Sasuke questioned.
"Yeah, I guess you can say that. Look I can tell you've had a long day, so here's my suggestion, why don't we go for a relaxing dip in the hot springs? It's been forever since I've had a good dip in a hot spring." Kushina said.
"Pass, seen those things and I don't exactly fit. Besides I have work to do." Belial said.
"As much as I would like this, I have other things to do, later." Kakashi said as he left.
Kushina looked at Belial.
"Naruto, can you go get Hinata and meet us there? I wish to speak with Belial for a moment." Kushina said.
"Uh, sure. Come on Gigan, considering Belial made this to control your size, I can shrink you down and you can swim in it." Said Naruto returning Gigan to the battlenizer
Belial grunted as the wind blew making some of Kushina's hair go into her face making her move it out of the way.
He blushed slightly at the sight of her before controlling himself.
"You have granted my son a power, a power that he can use to grasp his dreams and protect those precious to him."
"Uh, yeah. I'll admit the kid manages to impress and intrigue me. Sorry for not training him on how to use a sword but I'm better using a staff like weapon." Belial said rubbing his head.
"It's okay, leaves me something to do myself and to see if he can handle something when Menma and Mito couldn't, dattebane. You protected him as a friend and as a teacher, for that I thank you." Kushina said giving him a kiss on his cheek making his eyes widen in shock as he blushed.
Kushina giggled as she gave a bow and left as Belial rubbed his cheek.
"You're welcome." He mutterd in a daze, as he was not expecting that from the woman, though he quickly shook his head from said daze and left the Training ground.
Belial went back to the alpha house and looked at a screen that Airgu made appear that showed Naruto.
"Now seeing him in action and teaching him the techniques that I and the other Ultras that I have researched I was amazed seeing him able to do them perfectly. Specium kousen, Wide Shot etc. now other attacks such as the emerium kousen or slash he has not been able to do as the Ultras shoot them through the green gem on their foreheads but I will try to find a work around for these types of attacks and the others that need something to use them. Now Airgu show me a comparison between the Skull Gomora Kei Fukuei would change into and Naruto's." Belial said as the screen showed Naruto in training before switching over to two pictures of the Skull Gomora Kei would transform into and the one Naruto changed into
"Definitely a height difference and color. Naruto's powers changed the riser to better match him as did the battlenizer I made." Belial said as Airgu highlighted the size and colors of the two.
"Now the power readings."
The two Skull Gomoras were side by side as a bar was raising beside the pictures as Belial rubbed his chin as Naruto's went higher and higher than Kei's.
"Hmm, power readings for Naruto are off the charts compared to Kei, now as Kei was a Strum Seijin he used his special organ to fusion rise whereas Naruto has gained the power via the merge between me and him. Now compare Naruto's Primitive form to Geed's." Belial said as the screen now showed Ultraman Geed Primitive and Naruto's Maelstrom Primitive form.
"Again, difference in height and color."
"Differences in height are from the age." Airgu said.
"Obviously but thank you, Airgu." Belial said before continuing his thoughts. "Now considering Naruto possesses my power then that must have effected his form as his body has red eyes while the color timer remains blue, and as predicted Naruto possesses twice the power compared to Geed's. As he continues to grow I will continue to monitor his abilities, end log." Belial said as Airgu stopped the recording.
"Recording Log #15 has been saved." Airgu said.
"Thank you, Airgu." Belial said as he then started thinking on new ways to further Naruto's training
Meanwhile back with Kushina, she was walking through the village in the henge of a elderly woman as she approached the Haruno house.
Kushina knocked on the door as Mebuki came to the door.
"Hello? Who are you?" She asked.
"Mebuki, it's been so long and you still look as beautiful as the last I saw you."
"Excuse me?"
Kushina went inside
"Ma'am what do you -"
Mebuki was stopped as Kushina undid her henge as Mebuki gasped.
"It's been a long time hasn't it, Mebuki?"
At first Mebuki thought that it was a trick and made the hand sign for release, but when nothing happened she realized it wasn't a trick. She quickly closed the door and locked it before turning her attention back to Kushina, Mebuki then ran to her and enveloped Kushina in tight hug and began to cry, Kushina returned the hug as she began to breakdown in tears as well.
"You still look the same." Mebuki said.
"Perks of being an Uzumaki." Kushina said smiling
"I almost gave up hope until Sakura came home talking about the "new" Naruto. Is it true that Naruto has a triplet brother and sister?" She asked.
"Yep, Mito and Menma, I'm so happy having Naruto back." Kushina said.
"When Mikoto died because of Itachi I was worried that I may be the next one to die." Mebuki said.
"Yeah you're right. Strange how things have changed." Mebuki said walking over and saw a picture of herself with Kushina and Mikoto.
"I keep on expecting her to walk right in like it was just a bad dream."
"Yeah." Kushina agreed sadly.
"I hear Naruto is also looking for revenge on Itachi. See Mikoto tried to adopt Naruto but the council kept finding a way to stop it until she finally had him. The very same night, the massacre." Mebuki said.
"At least he managed to open Sasuke up, because from the way Naruto talked about him before, he seemed to only care for revenge but now Sasuke has left the path of darkness he was walking on. He was so desperate for power."Kushina said with a smile.
"I still can't believe it, Mikoto could've taken Itachi with both her eyes shut and her arms tied behind her back. No ifs, or buts about it. Hmph, remember that one time she showed off her Mangekyo? I thought Fugaku was going to faint." Mebuki said.
Kushina chuckled as she fixes her hair.
"Yeah, just imagine her with the Eternal Mangekyo?"
"Considering how her side of the family was descended from Madara Uchiha, I think Fugaku wouldn't have been the head of the Uchiha anymore." Mebuki said.
The two chuckle as they imagined it.
"I have been thinking about Itachi lately. That sudden change in character is so not like him. To prove his strength? Itachi never cared about strength or power." Kushina said.
"What're you saying?"
"I'm thinking something else is going on around here." Kushina said.
"What?"
Kushina looked around using her sensory ability to see if anyone else was watching or listening but found the coast was clear.
She reaches into her shirt and pulls out a plain white mask.
"Every now and again I would come here using my skills in water jutsu to make a fog that would appear as natural as could be so I could bring flowers to Minato's grave but the last time someone wearing this mask tried attacking me, Mito and Menma. I think it's one of Danzo's Root ninja." Kushina said.
"How can you be sure?" Mebuki asked as she looked at the mask.
"As soon as he died some seal flared up and his entire body melted leaving no trace. I was lucky to even get the mask." Kushina said.
"Weren't they supposed to be disbanded?"
"That's what I thought. I began suspecting Danzo when I now realize he tricked me into taking Mito and Menma to Uzushiogakure with me. He used the blood corpse to make it seem like I was killed and I believe disappeared before Hiruzen showed up to take Naruto with him."
Mebuki sat down and breathed.
"That's a pretty big accusation against him, Kushina."
"I know but I swear every single bad thing that has ever happened to the village and other places, I swear he played a part in. And a part of me thinks it goes as far back as the call for help Uzu sent here."
"Call for -"
"When the other villages attacked we sent a messenger to go here to deliver the letter. But he never arrived. Then there's something about Mito, Hashirama's wife that is. Uzumaki can live for a longtime the time from Hashirama's to Hiruzen's time as Hokagē? That's nothing for a Uzumaki's lifespan. Even Kurama said that something was wrong with her it was like she was getting sick or something." Kushina said as Mebuki as well as Mikoto knew about Kurama.
"Look Kushina, I won't lie that Danzo is unnerving and I can't tell you about all the times he's tried to get custody of Naruto no doubt to turn him into one of his emotionless weapons but stuff like that needs proof."
"Yeah I know, you notice anything weird of late?"
"I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of missing kids and ninja from clans as of late, and I swear I've noticed that Danzo was seen at those places before like a day or two later the person is just gone."
"Look, I'm going to enjoy a nice dip in the hot springs with Sakura and the others but stay safe. I'll try to visit as much as possible until I find a way to break the news to everyone that I'm back and okay." Kushina said hugging Mebuki before putting on her henge again and left.
Meanwhile at the Konoha hot spring.
The group arrived together before separating by gender and went to either men or the women sides. Currently the girl's are chatting amongst themselves.
Sakura looks as Hinata is ducked in the water with only her head being visible as Mito sighs with relief from the water
She seen the girl's breast size and saw that they seem to be sporting a D-cup, compared to her flat chest, making her feel insecure about her breasts and covered them in self shame.
"I have to say Naruto is going to be one lucky guy when you two are older." Mito said.
Sakura saw hers and felt even more insecure as while they were almost as big as Hinata's
Hinata blushed feeling very embarrassed
"It's something that my mother told me before she passed. As it turns out Hyuga's tend to have big..." Hinata said not finding it in herself to say it.
"Breasts? It's not uncommon it's simple nature. According to mom the more chakra you have the bigger your breasts are. Same thing for guys, don't forget mom studied under Tsunade Senju. So Hinata you're probably going to be lucky as I can't think of someone who has more chakra than a Uzumaki." Mito said making Hinata's blush increase and make her turn away as Hinata had a slight nosebleed.
Seeing Hinata nose bleed like that made Sakura's jaw drop at this.
"Hinata... are you a pervert?" Sakura slowly asked, causing Hinata's already red face to turn a dark shade.
"N-NO!" Hinata said.
"Hey, it's always the quiet ones." Mito said.
Sakura blinked before have a sly look on her face.
"What's with the look?" Mito asked.
"A couple years back I remember a time in class when Iruka-Sensei was taking a long time to get back and everyone decided to do stuff to pass the time. One of which was cards."
Hinata began to slowly sink into the water
Mito quirked an eyebrow.
"I remember seeing Naruto playing and he was dominating. One round I asked Hinata to see what cards he had."
Hinata's whole head turned red
"She looked but she didn't tell me what cards he had as she fell backwards with a little grin and a nosebleed, so she must've seen something good."
They hear Hinata groan as she went underneath the water
Mito and Sakura shout as they raced over and got her out, as she fainted
"Why'd you keep doing that?" Mito said.
"She's been getting better with her fainting, I didn't think she'd faint again from a little teasing." Sakura said.
Meanwhile in the men's side, Naruto and Menma are catching up with Sasuke and Kakashi present also wanting to know more about Naruto's sibling. Naruto chuckles as Gigan, in his shrunken state, enjoys the hot water, Sasuke watched the kaiju in amusement, though it still surprises him that Naruto's Battlenizer can shrink Kaiju as it can store them.
"Ain't it gonna rust?" Menma asked.
Gigan slightly growled at being called a "it". Naruto winced at this and new that he should save his brother from being turned into cold cuts.
"I wouldn't worry about that, though I'd advise against calling him an 'it'." Naruto said.
"They have genders? Huh, guess mom was right about the protector." Menma said.
"Protector?" Naruto asked.
This caught both Sasuke and Kakashi's attention as well.
"You don't know the legend of Manda?" Menma said.
Naruto shook his head no in response.
"Okay, legend goes about how Uzu nearly faced its end when a great drought came. Kaiju had made it almost impossible for us to go as a earthquake cut off the water coming into and out of Uzushiogakure. With very little plans left they finally fell to their knees and plead with the gods to answer their prayers. Later on that day a group of Kaiju had attacked! Just when all hope seemed to be lost, a dragon from the ocean came to our Aid. It seemed to manipulate the very water as it dragged the Kaiju right to the bottom of the ocean. It was our savior! It freed the water and save don't our lives. Ever since then whenever Uzu was threatened or in danger, the legendary dragon of the sea, Manda would come to it's rescue. It is said that should you catch a glimpse of it you are destined for greatness and blessed with good fortune. On some days when all is calm and in harmony the great dragon will sing a song that... can't be put into words." Menma explained.
"Whoa..." The group said.
"And that is not all. It is said that our protector was one of the eight Kaiju born from the destroyer known as Orochi." Menma said.
This made Naruto practically jump out of the hot spring and Gigan began to shiver in fear at the name Orochi.
"Orochi?! The eight headed dragon, Orochi?!" Naruto excliamed.
"What's a Orochi?" Sasuke asked, for he's never heard of this Orochi.
"Orochi was a legendary eight headed dragon that for a time terrorized the world. It is said that the son of the sage of the six paths fought alongside a warrior and beheaded it. But the Orochi has a amazing power. Whenever it's heads are removed they mutate and transform into Kaiju of their own representing the element the respected head used." Naruto explained.
This caused both Sasuke and Kakashi's eyes to widen at this, though Sasuke felt that there was more to the story.
"There's more, isn't there?" Sasuke stated rather than ask.
"Well according to legend, the sage had two sons. And that it is said that when the heads of the Orochi are cut off they will become Kaiju representing the elements. But it's said that the eight will fight each other out of a instinct to merge back into the new Orochi, as the last one standing becomes the new body of the dragon. But I thought the tale of the sons and the warrior light battling the legendary Orochi was just a legend." Naruto said further
"And they'd pick up where it left off." Kakashi theorized.
"How do you even know about this?" Sasuke asked.
"In the library, I found a old book that spoke of the battle."
"So Kakashi-sensei can read something other than porn, wonders never cease." Naruto said while smirking.
"Well to be honest I was helping the librarian and it fell on my head." Kakashi said as he rubbed his head.
"That must've been the same book I found as that's where I found out about it." Naruto said.
Both Sasuke and Menma start laughing their ass's off even Gigan started to make what sounds like laughter as Kakashi had a sweat drop on the back of his head.
"So Menma, tell us about yourself." Kakashi said to change the subject.
"Like what?" Menma asked.
"Like everything besides relations to Naruto. We want to know about you and your sister." Kakashi replied.
Naruto saw the look on his triplet brother's face and he could tell he was nervous.
"Whoa, not like that. We barely know anything about you, I barely know anything about you.
Naruto looked at Sasuke and Kakashi,
"He was beginning to think this was becoming a interrogation." Naruto said, and they both had the 'o' expression.
"Yeah... I'm from another village, a strong one... so..." Menma said seeing how this was going. "And Uzushiogakure is a little, ehhh, about the Leaf." Menma added.
"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked.
"Well since the Leaf never came to our aid all those years ago, a lot of Uzumaki don't exactly trust the Leaf." Menma said.
This confused Kakashi for a moment.
"Wait... we all assumed that your village wasn't able to send out a messenger for help." Kakashi said now thinking something is up, which has both Sasuke and Naruto's attention as well.
"Well according to mom, a message was sent."
Kakashi immediately stood up with a shocked expression as if something had just been revealed to him.
"That's impossible, because we didn't receive any messenger from whirlpool." Kakashi said.
Naruto, Sasuke and Menma shouted as they turned their heads
Kakashi chuckled before sitting back down
"Wait, Kakashi, how do you even know about that? Weren't you like, not born yet, then?" Naruto said.
"Yeah, Kushina was a kid then." Sasuke said.
"Well it was common knowledge during the time and after for a while but then it shortly died down afterwards, but I still heard about it in years later from Kushina course during my time under Minato sensei." Kakashi replied.
"Hmm, someone stopped the message for help, village gets attacked, Lady Mito falls ill just as my mom arrives. Then someone convinces mom to take Menma and Mito back to Uzu while making it seem like I was killed. Either Uzumaki have gained terrible bad luck or something else is going on around here." Naruto said as figured out whom might have been responsible.
Kakashi thought about it for a moment until he realized who might be responsible as well.
"I think I know who might have been responsible for all that, now this might be a theory but I think it was Danzo who was behind it." Kakashi said with narrowed eyes.
"That would makes sense, from what I hear Danzo is an old warhawk who would stop at nothing to get something under his thumb." Sasuke said in thought.
"And the person who's tried to convince Gramps to get custody of me." Naruto said as he over heard some of the conversations when they though no one was listening.
"Wait, this Danzo, is he like a mummy? Bandages over a side of his face and on one of his arms?" Menma asked.
"Yeah that's him alright, why?" Naruto said.
"That was the guy who told mom to run away! He was there when she was what she thought was your dead body stabbed by the nine tails."
"He what!" Kakashi exclaimed.
Naruto started thinking that this was all too coincidental, first he was there with a supposedly dead body of him and told his mother to Runaway with his siblings, then four years he tried to get him under his thumb to become an emotionless weapon.
"Also my village believes that it was because of the Leaf that my brother is dead." Menma said.
"Wait, if they hate the Leaf so bad then why do they -" Sasuke started only for Menma to cuts Sasuke off.
"Uzumaki value family above all things. They knew of Kushina's husband being a Leaf Shinobi so they allowed her to visit and bring flowers to his grave." Menma said.
Kakashi nods in understanding.
"Hey, is it true your mother can use all five Elemental styles of jutsu?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, its quite normal for Uzumaki to have all five elements. See it all comes from our dōjutsu the Rinnegan." Menma replied.
Kakashi seemed to stiffen slightly at this, and Naruto seemed to know of what it was as well.
"Rinne-what?" Sasuke asked.
"Rinnegan, the dōjutsu of the Uzumaki clan and the same that belonged to the sage of the six paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. See it is said that the sage had children and those children went and made clans. One became the Uchiha, and down the line came the Hyuuga. Another child was said to have started the Senju and the Uzumaki. The Uzumaki were the closest to his blood and we gained the Rinnegan. Now not all Uzumaki gain it as even a parent could have it but it's not passed to the child. But we've seen that even though the children don't gain the Rinnegan they still have the five chakra elements but can't combine them as the Rinnegan grants the holder the ability to use all chakra elements including those needing bloodlines to be able to use." Menma explained.
"Look I'm enjoying this as much as you all but i think we should get out. I don't think Gigan can't take anymore heat." Naruto said as Gigan wasn't looking too good.
Everyone agreed that it was time to leave the hot spring, so Naruto returned Gigan to his Battlenizer and they went to the changing room and waited for the girls to return.
Meanwhile before the men left, Kushina had just entered the woman's side and see Sakura and Mito help Hinata out of the water, though she noticed that said girl was both unconscious and was sporting a blush that looked close to her red hair.
"So that's Naruto's girlfriend?" Kushina asked as she helped them get her out.
"Yeah, this is Hinata." Sakura replied.
"Do I wanna know what happened?" She asked.
"Not really, mom." Mito said with a deadpan.
"Okay, lets wake her up and then we can go something to eat." Kushina said, as she went up to Hinata and lightly tapped her cheek five time getting Hinata to wake up only to see Kushina for the first time.
"Hey there, sleeping red." Kushina said as Hinata blushed again feeling embarrassed before noticing something.
'Wow, this woman looks like Mito... Oh no, is she?' Hinata thought.
"Hiya, I'm Kushina. So you're my son's girlfriend." Kushina said
"Y-You're Naruto's mother." Hinata said nervously.
Kushina smiles and laughs.
"Hinata Hyuuga, you remind me so much of your mother." Kushina said.
"You knew my mother?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah. Back when I was younger me and her were good friends. And it was through her I found out a little about your clan." Kushina said.
"Like what?"
"That some Hyuuga women develop a little sooner rather than later." Kushina said with a chuckle as Hinata blushed.
"Well, how about we enjoy another few moments of the hot spring then join the guys?" Sakura said.
"Yeah, that was a interesting shower day. Huh?" Kushina said as she looked up,
"But I'm hungry," Mito said.
This made the other girls to either luagh or giggle in amusement, while Mito puffed her cheeks out while crossing her arms over her chest.
Suddenly a loud noise was heard as Hinata blushed again and held her stomach.
"Geez and I thought Naruto's stomach could rumble." Sakura joked.
They heard a knocking as Sasuke slightly slides the door showing him and Naruto are using one hand to cover their eyes while Menma just looks at them.
"Are all of you decent? Kakashi had to go for a briefing with the hokage but we were going to get something to eat." Sasuke said.
"Well Mito was hungry too, why are you doing that?" Sakura asked.
"You're kidding right?" Naruto said.
"You really expect us to just walk in without considering you'd be putting your clothes on or drying off?" Sasuke added.
"I didn't do it because I just didn't care." Menma said before Naruto pushed him.
"Perv."
Menma pushes him back.
"Am not!"
"Enough." Kushina said breaking the fight.
"We are decent." Mito said as Naruto and Sasuke dropped their hands
"Dear Kami, they've only known each other for what a day and they're already acting like siblings." Sakura said.
"That's Uzumakis for you." Sasuke said.
"Can we go now? And doesn't the walking knife need food?" Menma said.
"Not really. Reionics Kaiju get energy being inside the battlenizers so Gigan really doesn't need to eat. At least he hasn't told me yet." Naruto said.
"That's convenient." Menma said.
"Anyways, let's go eat." Kushina said.
"Let me guess, ramen?" Sasuke said.
"Well, where do you wanna eat?" Naruto asked.
"I think I know the best place to eat" Sakura said, getting everyone's attention.
Naruto raised a eyebrow as did Sasuke as they glance at each other
Later at the restaurant called the Blazing Phoenix Diner.
"You ever hear of this place?" Naruto asked Sasuke who shook his head.
"No surprise that you haven't heard of this place, it's been open for about a few weeks. But this place has the best food, the meat is cooked on natural coals that gives it a unique taste." Sakura explained.
"How'd you even find this place?" Sasuke questioned.
"And will they actually let me eat here?" Naruto asked
"My mom brought me here last week for a family night out." Sakura said.
"Figured." Sasuke said.
"I asked them about that, Naruto. And the owner about it and he said he's always been indifferent about it, for he and his employees don't care about your status." Sakura explained. "Whatever that means." Sakura muttered.
Well lets go." Menma said.
"Yeah, let's hope I can eat here." Naruto said passing Sasuke and Sakura who looked at each other and shrugged
Kushina used a henge before she followed, same with Menma and Mito to avoid suspision.
As they entered, Naruto looked around.
"Huh, not bad. Fancy."
A man had walked up to them as he got their attention. Well most, Menma was looking at the lobster tank.
"Welcome to -" The man stopped as he saw Naruto.
'Oh boy.' Naruto thought, believing that he was about to be thrown out.
But instead of getting the yelling he was expecting, he was shocked as the man hugged him!
"Uh..." Naruto said looking at him.
"Thank you!" The man said unaware that Kurama made Naruto's mantle ready to attack until he spoke.
"For what?" Naruto said as the man got up.
"You saved this restaurant, my family's restaurant when you and your team stopped that Gudon attack. Sorry, My name is Paul."
"Please you don't need to thank me I was just doing my job." Naruto said rubbing the back of his head
"But I must insist, a delicious meal on the house!" He said.
Seeing as how he wasn't going to be able to change his mind Naruto just went with it.
Paul lead them away to their table while Menma was still starring at the lobster tank, liking it,
"Come on." Mito said pulling Menma by his collar.
They sat and ordered.
"So, Gudon attack?" Kushina asked.
"Yeah, though that was due to some friends of mine that went exploring a cave which turned out to be it's den." Naruto explained.
Naruto glanced at Hinata before putting his arm around her shoulder causing her to smile and lean into it.
"Man!" Menma moaned as Mito chuckled.
"Don't mind him, he just wants a girlfriend." Mito said.
Menma grumbles as he leans on the table.
"Don't worry, you'll find someone, bro." Naruto said.
"That's what everyone says." Menma said.
Everyone just laughs in good humor at that.
Paul came in with their drinks and their food,
The first thing he put down was a cooked lobster.
"We didn't -"
"It's on the house. It's the least we can do for you and your friends." Said Paul as he put down some shrimp with dipping sauces, crab cakes, some spaghetti and what they ordered. Hinata had cinnamon rolls, Sasuke had tomato soup with grilled cheese, Sakura had Riceballs, Naruto had a steak, a baked potato with butter and macaroni and cheese, Mito had corn bread with butter and a salad, Menma had catfish with a side of mashed potatoes and Kushina had some soup,
"What's with all the seafood?" Sasuke asked,
"We change things around every now and again. Let me know if you have room for desert." Paul said before walking away.
Naruto was amazed by the food before him.
"What's wrong you look like you've never seen half of this stuff before." Sasuke asked.
"That's because I haven't. Remember when I said that the villagers didn't like me?" Naruto said.
This got both Kushina and his siblings, this made his teammates have a sad expression knowing what he was referring to.
"Well I've never been allowed in the stores or restaurants. Why do you think I always ate ramen so much?" Naruto said "And whenever I could get in they would jack up the prices or sell me bad or stale stuff." He added.
"Okay, enough with the bad vibes let's eat!" Menma said.
"You honestly think we can eat all this?" Mito said.
"If not, Belial and maybe Kakashi can have some leftovers or I could heat them up for tomorrow." Naruto said.
"Good idea." Sakura agreed.
About thirty minutes later.
They left finishing after their meals.
"Now that was a meal." Naruto said.
"Yes, those were some of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had." Hinata said.
"And I got leftovers for us and Belial to enjoy." Naruto added.
Suddenly a violet haired anbu appeared in front of them.
"Naruto, Lord Hokage has requested you and your team's presence." She said.
"Oh come on can't this wait?" Naruto asked.
"No." The anbu said before leaving,
Naruto sighed to himself before gesturing to his teammates, they nodded in replay. Though Naruto turned to both his family and girlfriend.
"We'll meet up later." Naruto said before giving Hinata a kiss on the cheek and a hug to his siblings and mother and left with Sasuke and Sakura
Hinata blushed bright but shook her head refusing to faint
The trio went to Hiruzen's office seeing Kakashi and Belial.
Naruto was the last to enter.
"This had better be good I was in the middle of something..." He stopped himself seeing the two others in the office with them as they turned around.
It was Haku and Zabuza!
"Important?" Naruto said closing the door.
"Hey, Naruto." Zabuza said.
"Zabuza, Haku, what are you guys doing here?" Sasuke asked just as surprised.
"We need your help." Haku said.
"More specifically the Mist needs your help and by that I mean the Leaf's." Zabuza said.
This shocked the three, Naruto recomposed himself knowing that they wouldn't be here unless the war had turned ugly.
"How bad is it?" Naruto asked, snapping his teammates back too as they listened to what was about to be said.
"Bad enough. We've lost some great fighters and the leader of the resistance Mei Terumi desperately needs help if we are to stop Yagura." Haku said.
"Yagura, the Mizukage." Kakashi said
"And Jinchuuriki of the Sanbi, the three tailed turtle." Zabuza said.
"Jin what?" Said Sasuke.
Naruto understood immediately but was also nervous about certain information being revealed, Kakashi and Hiruzen both immediately realized that they may have said something they shouldn't.
"Jinchuuriki, demon hosts, hosts for one of the nine tailed beasts." Belial said.
"Tailed beasts, wait you mean like the Nine Tailed Fox?" Sasuke said.
"So this guy is like Naruto?" Sakura said dropping a bombshell, everyone looked at her with shock.
"You knew?" Naruto said.
"Me and Sasuke. Mysterious red chakra, whiskers, your birthday? We figured it was connected to the fox somehow." Sakura said.
"But we wanted you to be able to tell us yourself, so we wanted you to tell us. Still can't believe your father sealed it in you and your siblings." Sasuke said dropping another bombshell, Sasuke then saw their faces. "Oh come on, just look at the Fourth's head and give him whiskers and you can clearly see the resemblance. We found that out after the bell test, the second time." He said.
"And how do you two feel about this?" Belial asked.
"Feel about what? What's there to feel?" Sasuke said.
"Good answer then." Belial said before turning his attention to the two guests. "Please continue, Zabuza." He finished.
"Using the money we took off Gato we managed to get more supplies but this war can't go on any longer. So Mei sent us here to get help. And considering what happened last time I thought we could really use your help." Zabuza said.
"This could be our chance to establish peace between our two villages." Said Hiruzen.
"Call it whatever you like, but we need help and we need it very soon." Zabuza said.
"You will have the Leaf's aid." Hiruzen said.
"For the record I was gonna help even if he said no." Naruto said.
"The kid seems to think that something happened to Yagura to make him like this." Belial said.
"Now that you mentioned it, he was a very different person then he is today. " Zabuza said in thought.
"That's what the kid said, he's done research."
"If he's trying to kill bloodline users then why hasn't he killed himself? He himself is a bloodline user, it doesn't make sense." Naruto said.
"He thinks Yagura may be under some kind of genjutsu and the kid's rarely wrong." Belial said.
This made everyone think for a moment, why would kill bloodline users if he's one himself. Hiruzen and then realized something, only one thing can change the mind of a jinchuuriki who seal is not properly designed protect against such a thing.
"The Sharingan." Hiruzen said, surprising everyone in the room of this revelation.
"Sound familiar?" Naruto said looking at Hiruzen and Belial.
"Unfortunately yes, Sharingan at full maturity can't do something like this. Unless its the Mangekyo Sharingan." Hiruzen explained.
"Just like the masked man who attacked the Leaf. Considering the fact this is the second Jinchuuriki he's messed with, what if he put Yagura under a genjutsu to do this Bloodline War as a way to keep him in one place?" Naruto said.
"It makes sense, why have your target move around freely when can have them stay in one place." Belial said.
"Okay, back up!" Sasuke exclaimed jumping in. "What's all this stuff about a Uchiha?" He questioned.
"When me and my siblings were born a masked man with the sharingan appeared and attacked my mother. See a female Jinchuuriki's seal is vulnerable when she is giving birth. Kurama, the nine tails, was forcibly removed from my mother because of this man. He was able to go toe to toe with my dad as he put Kurama under his control with his Sharingan. The thing is, he only had one eye." Naruto said.
"His actions were the reason why the Uchiha clan began change. Why everything happened to it." Belial said.
Naruto perked his head up before he made a handsign and unsealed papers.
"Here, I just remembered these." Naruto said putting the papers down on Hiruzen's desk who sat up to look.
On some of the papers were pictures of black robes with red clouds.
"Rumors have been going around about strong ninja wearing these robes. I went through documents and found out that there was a battle between three people. One of which was Yagura and one I can't remember his name and the third was, get this, Itachi Uchiha. Him and this other person were wearing these robes. Going back to the massacre, there is no way Itachi could've pulled it off by himself. What if this masked man, this strange group and the massacre are connected?" Naruto said, getting everyones attention. "They call themselves the Akatsuki, apparently it's filled with a group of at least S rank nin's, I've only managed to get the names of Itachi and some guy named Kisame Hoshigaki." Naruto said further.
"Kisame? He was another one of the seven swordsman." Zabuza said.
"Kisame Hoshigaki, the tailless beast. Said to have unlimited chakra." Belial said reading the file of the rogue nin.
"Seems like this Akatsuki group has a thing for missing or rogues." Naruto said.
"As long as he has his sword Samehada he has unlimited chakra." Zabuza said.
"We are getting off topic." Haku said chiming in with Sakura nodding.
"Right, sorry." Naruto said putting the papers away.
"Alright, let me talk with Shinobi Council about this. Shouldn't take too long" Hiruzen said.
Hiruzen left the room as Zabuza leaned against a wall and Haku took a seat.
"See you're taking to looking like a kunoichi." Naruto said looking at Haku's new look
"Thanks, figured it was time for a change of wardrobe." Haku said.
Haku had clothes that showed she was female as she got tired of the kimono and the mask.
"We are going with them right?" Sakura asked.
"Oh yeah, they ain't keeping me out." Said Naruto
Belial just smirked at this, he knew that they would want to end the war in the Mist.
"Yeah, but imagine Naruto not just being the hero of not one but two villages." Sasuke said.
"Hey, you helped."
"Yeah but this can really help your rep."
"I don't care about reputation." Said Naruto
"That's a good thing, Naruto." Kakashi said.
"Bla, Bla, Bla. Enough talking. I'm getting bored." Belial said getting up.
Meanwhile in the counsel room.
The group walks into the room hearing them talk.
"And I say we shouldn't waste our time and resources on a village that is not our own!" Danzo said.
'God does this guy have to be at every meeting?' Was their collective thought.
"Danzo we have already voted and you were overruled. We are doing it and that's that." Hiruzen said.
Danzo growled as the council continued.
"Now we need to see who to send. Team 7 is definitely going as Zabuza and Haku came for them." Hiruzen said as Sasuke and Naruto chuckle as they high fived
"We should send the rest of the so called "Rookie 12." Shikaku said
The other members of the council all looked at him.
"Alongside ourselves as they need us, if we sent just one team, how do you think the rebels would feel?" The Nara clan head said.
"They'd think we weren't taking this seriously and question us. But pineapple head listen, do you know what you're asking these kids to do?" Belial questioned.
The pineapple head comment got some chuckles.
"Yes i do, but sooner or later they're going to have to learn how to deal with the consequences of War, I believe that this would be a good experience for them. Plus we will be there to make sure that they understand how to fight and what it means to be a true Shinobi." Shuikaku said.
"You're throwing them into a battle where they will have to kill someone. Now I respect your decision for coming along as both a father and a Shinobi for Shikamaru but for the others, I can only imagine how they'll fare." Belial said.
"You have a right to worry about this, but it will happen sooner or later in their lives, better for it to be in a battle where we will be there for our children, at least some us will." Shikaku said looking at Hiashi.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Well we know how you treat Hinata so we just thought -"
"I will be coming as well." Hiashi said shocking them as Chouza dropped the chip he was going to put in his mouth, even Belial was surprised at Hiashi's words.
"I admit that I am rough on her, but that does not mean I do not care." Hiashi said.
"If you all are going so am I."
Everyone looked around before looking at the door seeing Kushina, Mito and Menma, well them in their henge forms.
"I'm sorry ma'am this is a private meeting." Hiruzen questioned though he had an idea of who they are.
Naruto walked over to them.
"What are you doing here?! We talked about this." Naruto said while keeping his voice down.
Even Naruto's teammates realize that this is going to be trouble, because it was too soon for Kushina and Naruto's two siblings to reveal themselves to the counsel.
"Naruto I almost lost you once, I can't go through that again. Let all other things be dammed. I am going with you," Kushina said.
"I'm sorry but who are you?" Inoichi said.
"You already know who I am." Kushina said before she, Menma and Mito changed back.
The council was shocked to see them, making Chouza to actually dropped his bag of chips!
"H-how?!" Tsume said standing up,
"Someone used the blood corpse jutsu to make me seem to be dead, when in reality I took Menma and Mito with me, traveling from place to place. I would have taken but I thought he was dead. So imagine my surprise when I came to the Leaf after that Kaiju attack to bring flowers to my husband's grave and found out I was lied to and tricked." Kushina said looking right at Danzo who kept his hardened stare
"What are you looking at me for?" Danzo said, trying to act like he didn't do anything.
"You did something didn't you?" Shibi said.
"The village needed a Jinchuuriki. So I used some genjutsu." Danzo admided, though judging by the expressions on all the Clan head's. He knew that he is in hot water.
"Enough if all this, we need to get ready. So get to your homes and pack what you need." Said Belial.
"You're just going to let him -" Menma started only to be interupted
"Don't worry kid, he'll get his one day." Belial said as the clan heads grumbled and nodded as they left as did Danzo, though the old war hawk knew that this conversation wasn't over.
The one who was still there was Hiashi.
"Didn't really think you cared for Hinata." Naruto said turning to him.
"Well I do."
"Considering how you and your clan have just about tore her confidence down to shreds."
"Well I wish I had a choice,"
"What do you mean?" Belial said.
"I can only choose one to be the clan heiress. The other is branded and put into the branch side of the clan. Has been this way for as long as the clan has been. I hate it but the elders hold more pull in that area of clan politics than I do so there's nothing I can do." Hiashi explained.
Naruto looks at him in a completely new light, seeing that he misjudging him.
"Luckily the choice doesn't happen to be until later down the road, so to speak." Hiashi said before leaving.
"I get it. He's trying to hold it off as long as he can." Belial said.
"Well I think someone helped change his view on how weak he thinks his daughter is." Sasuke said nudging Naruto.
Naruto just chuckles at this, before he turned to his family and went over to them.
"Do you realize how close you were to revealing Uzu being back? What if someone finds out where you've been? We could be looking at a Uzumaki massacre all over again mom. Do you realize what you've done?" Naruto said upset.
This made Kushina flinched as she forgot about that, though she was more worried about Naruto then Uzu.
"Naruto for 13 years I believed you were dead. Sure Uzu survived and has become stronger now, sure we have Manda protecting us now. But it never felt right knowing all of my family wasn't there enjoying it with me." Kushina said holding his face in her hands.
"Sure we may have just messed up but you are our brother." Mito said standing to his right.
"And Uzumaki care more about family than anything." Menma said.
"I can't lose my Maelstrom after getting you back. I just can't." Kushina said as tears came to her eyes.
"Oh mom." Naruto said as he embraced her as his siblings joined,
Naruto and the others walked outside where Hiruzen was standing some of the members of the council were standing with their children. Tsume and her partner ninken Kuromaru was standing with Kiba and Akamaru and her daughter Hana and her ninken triplets the Haimaru brothers.
Shino was with his dad as was Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Hinata was with Neji.
"Are you sure it's a good idea for him to come along? I don't think shuriken were a thing when he was a ninja." Menma said.
"I may have not been in the field for a long time but my hearing is as sharp as ever." Hiashi quiped hearing him.
Everyone was shocked to see them and Kushina as they made their way through the crowd of ninjas. Even Anko Mitarashi was a part of it.
"Why does a dog need a eyepatch?" Mito said looking at Kuromaru.
"I think he wears it to look cool." Menma said.
"Mom?!" Sakura axclaimed
The group turned to see Sakura looking at her mother who was wearing ninja gear.
"Mebuki?" Kushina said.
They walked over to Sakura's mother,
"What are you doing, you're supposed to be retired." Sakura asked.
"Hiruzen categorized this mission as a S bordering SS I wasn't going to let my daughter go on this kind of mission without serious back up. Besides only reason I retired was to raise you."
"You haven't been in the field for a long time." Sakura said concerned,
"Yeah but I never stopped training. First thing Tsunade-Sensei taught us. Because if you stop training then your body wears down besides I'm still as strong as I was back in the day another trick Tsunade taught us." Mebuki said looking at Kushina.
"Why are they all coming anyway?" Naruto asked looking to the teams.
"Because, like you said sending one team could go bad in their eyes. Considering how none of you have taken a life yet and how bad this is they're coming as both back up and to be their for their children should they kill someone on this." Belial said walking beside him.
Mito looked down at her foot seeing Akamaru sniffing it.
"Aw, aren't you just a cute little thing." Mito said picking him up,
Akamaru barked as Kiba approached as did the others when they took notice.
"Thanks for finding him, uh... Naruto?" Kiba said as Naruto poked his head from behind Mito,
Then Menma leaned into view.
"What the heck?" Ino said.
"Three Naruto's?" TenTen questioned.
"Told you I was a triplet." Naruto said.
Kiba noticed his mom.
"Hey dude, your mom is hot." Kiba said only for Hana hit him on the head for the comment. "What its true." He finished.
"Okay people, Lord Hiruzen has named me the captain of this mission as troublesome as that is. I'll just say this, don't die. Zabuza, Haku you will be leading the way. Let's go, time's wasting." Shikaku said.
"You ready kid?" Belial said glancing at Naruto.
"Born ready."
Zabuza and Haku ran followed by everyone else.
"Good, because this sure ain't gonna be easy." Belial said.
"What is?" Naruto said making everyone laughed at this, as they left the gates of Konoha.
