Chapter 14
Time for a break pt. 3
"Hinata-Sama?" asked Jiraiya speaking for the first time in quite a while getting a nod from the former Hyūga Princess " Tell me about the Akatsuki." it wasn't a request it was a demand and she knew it Jiraiya the Toad Sannin didn't do requests when It came to the village's safety through in retrospective neither did she, after all, they both had lost people for his village and neither of them would spit on their sacrifice no matter what.
"You can call me Hinata Jiraiya-Sama," she said knowing he hated that title and that was why she called him that" and why do you ask me when you have two of its members here?" asked the daughter-in-law of the Fourth his teacher
"Because I have all the information Itachi can give me about them and you as from the future can give me the information he can't."
"What's the Akatsuki?" asked Naruto innocently turning big blue eyes to his father's former teacher making his heart melt that the look was so much like his deceased student though he didn't want to think about that it was too hard he didn't know how Tsunade did it for years looking at him and not breaking down through he had to be strong he couldn't disown the boy just for looking like his father it wasn't fair and he refused to do it.
Hinata answered knowing no one was going to do it, she did it before Jiraiya broke down she knew how hard it had been for him Minato had been like a son to him and his death had devastated him "Akatsuki was in my time and is in your time."
Seeing at the confused looks she said " I am going to talk like I am in my time so don't take everything literally when I mention years ok? " everyone nodded and Jiraiya and the Kage's bodyguards took out notebooks and started writing "They were a group of shinobi that existed outside the usual system of hidden villages. Over the course of several decades, Akatsuki took different forms and was led by different individuals. Right now, it's led by someone, not even the members know who it is."
"So, you know who that person is?" asked Itachi that was the thing he had never been able to figure it out no matter how much he dug
"Yes, we do but it will take a while to get there so be patient." everyone nodded them heads" Though each iteration is viewed as either subversives or criminals, all seek to make the world a better place through their own means some by very bad means. To make the world a better place was the reason the group was created in the first place actually. Each Akatsuki tends to have multiple lairs across the world, inaccessible either due to their remoteness of the various security measures that protect them."
"That makes sense," said Shikaku thinking the only thing he thought important about this group was that they could hurt Naruto and that was something they didn't want to happen no matter what it costed looking at his friends he knew them were thinking the same thing.
'I dare them to do it and I will kill each and everyone one of them with my bare hands.' was what everyone was thinking at that moment
Their children looked at their parents with curious looks were had this side of their parents been before now. The fire in their eyes the angry scowl and the determinate jaw they the people who took even the most feared enemies in the world without even blinking so why were they now so serious. ' What's their connecting with the Akatsuki?'
"The first-ever Akatsuki is known as Yahiko's Akatsuki."
"Wait who is he?" asked Itachi he had never heard of this man before looking at Kisame he could tell the shark-like man was thinking the same thing.
"I will explain later on ok Itachi." the prodigy Uchiha nodded his head looking slightly on the wrong side because his eyesight was getting worse and he didn't want to have his Sharingan activated because he was sure the others would know something was wrong or that he just liked to brag neither of them being his favorite thought
"It was this name because it was originally founded by Yahiko during the Third Shinobi World War, alongside his childhood friends Nagato and Konan. All three of them were Orphans of the Second Shinobi World War" at that Minato looked down he had lost his father in the same war so he understood their pain he at least had his mother who raised him while they didn't have anyone could he had ended up like that of his mother had decided it was too much of a brother to raise a child when she herself was just a child he shuddered to think of that.
Jiraiya's eyes widen they were the same children he had trained so long ago before Tsunade had told him and their sensei she was pregnant with Dan's child before he had taken his best team to train, a team that to this day was considered the best in history the same team that had as his member Minato but despite the fact that Minato is his prized student (not that the others in his team were bad) they had been his very first students and still had a very important place in his heart he wondered what had happened to that Akatsuki it appeared they followed his wish for peace in the Great Nations.
Hinata continued with the story a bit aware of what the two of them were thinking right now" The three created Akatsuki as a way to bring peace to their home country of Amegakure, which too often got caught in the crossfire of the Five Great Shinobi Countries' many conflicts." every Kage past and present looked down at that ashamed at their actions and what I had caused all they wanted was what was best for their Villages so they hadn't thought about what it cause others" that and their desire for an end the war attracted many fellow Ame ninja to their cause and, in time, word of their exploits began to travel beyond Amegakure's borders."
'Well who knew Akatsuki had the same wishes like me, to begin with.' thought Itachi he still would have been loyal to his village even if they continued with the path, they had started but it was nice to know other people had the same dream as him.
"Actually, Akatsuki's early fame was owed largely to Yahiko's leadership and his natural charisma, which kept the group United and motivated them to persevere despite the difficulties of their goal. Yahiko, however, viewed himself as merely a facilitator for Nagato, who would ultimately be the actual source of the world peace because of his Rinnegan." everyone eyes widen at that Rinnegan was a very rare ability and very dangerous in the wrong hands or eyes in this case.
Danzō looked interested with those eyes, he would have been able to protect their village, even more, Minato glared at his as if reading his thoughts making the shinobi known as The Darkness of the Shinobi to look at him the youngest Hokage in history that boy reminded him a lot of someones when he looked that way but he could never put his finger who it was and it annoyed the hell out of him.
Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane the Third Hokage advisers looked at the blue-eyed Hokage they too found him very similar to someone through like Danzō, they couldn't put it in words and looking at their teammate they knew he knew who he reminded them but he kept it a closely guarded secret from them one of the only things he kept from them.
"In time, Akatsuki's fame began attracting unwanted attention. They were first approached by Tobi the Uchiha who caused the Kyuubi attack, who claimed to be Madara Uchiha and offered to lend his assistance to Akatsuki, specifically Nagato. Yahiko who was the unofficial leader even if he would deny it, he was wary of Tobi and refused his offer, though Tobi claims Yahiko eventually agreed he never did that he didn't agree with their policies. Ame's leader, Hanzō of the Salamander a very strong shinobi who is in the same category as the Third Hokage…" she was interrupted by Jiraiya who said
"Of course, he could never resist a group of strong people like them."
"You know him? Who is he?" asked Butsuma Senju speaking for the first time in a while he had to listen silently until now at what had happened to the world since he had died, he liked somethings and disliked others but apparently, no world was perfect even one who was created with people in mind.
The toad Sannin nodded his head" Yes Hanzō feared as Hanzō of the Salamander is a legendary shinobi and the leader of Amegakure for many, many years also the person who gave the two of us "pointing to himself and Tsunade" and our other teammate the title of the Legendary Sannin when we fought him a long time ago."
"How did that happen?" asked Itama
"During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzō fought some of Konoha's forces he killed all of they expect Jiraiya, Tsunade and were the only survivors. As a reward to them for this accomplishment, he named them Konoha's Sannin and told them to refer to themselves as such in exchange for letting them live after that everyone referred to the three of them to this day as The Three Legendary Sannin."
"Uau really." the younger brothers of the two Hokage said looking at their great-niece with big bright eyes making her chuckle all her life her grandfather and great-uncle were bigger than life it was comforting to be able to impress a member of her family.
'She is really good.' through Butsuma ' my son is very lucky.'
"How old were you?" asked the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage the older woman is what every Kunoichi hopes to become one day.
"Well…" she said thinking" It was before Nowaki died and before I met Dan so I would say about twelve." getting wide eyes from the younger woman" What Dan died when I was fourteen."
"Wait, Wait," said the Mizukage" He is the father of your son right?" she asked and got a nod from the blond-haired woman and Dan beamed at the mention of his son it didn't matter to him that he didn't even know who he was he was already proud of him.
" When exactly did you have your son?"
Both mother and son blushed at that question through everyone only noticed the First Hokage's granddaughter with the two Hokage glaring at the green-eyed man as they waited for the answer to her question" I was fifteen when my son was born."
"What happened to Orochimaru?" asked Dan trying desperately to change the subject while ignoring the glare from the two prior Hokage at the same time he looked at the blond-haired young man who was blushing for some reason at that moment he was reminded how Tsunade looked when she blushed he didn't understand why that was and that hadn't been the first time either" Why did he kill the Third he was his most prized student and last the time I met him he cared about the village a lot."
"Well Hizuren-sensei was mistaken about him," said Jiraiya the betrayal of his friend still stung to this day, even more, it stung the fact that he was never able to make his return to the village they were supposed to be the Three Legendary Sannin the strongest line of defense for the village and not betray it because they wanted something else more they had sworn to put the village first no matter what happened.
Tsunade was thinking something along those lines too she and Orochimaru may have not had been the best of friends but she cared for him and she knew he cared for them too in his own weird way. But she would never understand her friend's obsession with being immortal it wasn't that great after all, she was virtually immortal with her Uzumaki genes that gave her longer lifespan than most, and the Senju abilities not to mention her own techniques she would live past many people even people she didn't want to live.
"Who is this Orochimaru?" asked Butsuma Senju again he seemed important and had been mentioned many times with various degrees of emotions through mostly negative ones.
"Orochimaru was once an orphan who became a pupil of Hizuren alongside Jiraiya and Tsunade. He stood out as a genius with his talents, knowledge, and the determination was considered by many to be that of a prodigy seen only once in a generation. And it took many years for someone to surpass him in intelligence." said Hinata
"He had a twisted personality even as a child," said Tsunade the fact that he was her friend didn't change her opinion on him even then and even less now.
"I do not deny it. As I was saying during the Second Shinobi World War, Orochimaru joined Jiraiya and Tsunade in fighting Hanzō, who gave them the title of Konoha's "Three Legendary Shinobi" as a reward that part you know what you don't know is that. On their way back to Konoha, they encountered three Amegakure orphans, with Orochimaru proposing one mercy killing "Dan and Minato (Naruto is still too young to have the same opinion as them) hissed at that making everyone look at them and forcing Hinata to continue before they could see the similarities between Dan and Minato but she wasn't fast enough for Shikamaru not to see them.
'There is no other way' thought Shikamaru 'the two of them have to be related somehow but how?' this wasn't seeing well with the young genius.
"Before Jiraiya chose to train them instead, they were the same three people who would create the Akatsuki who wanted world peace. After Team Hizuren was disbanded, Orochimaru became an ANBU member while also becoming a mentor to Anko Mitarashi." she didn't mention the Root because it wasn't time yet for that" It was during that time that Orochimaru met Kabuto Yakushi."
"Wait wasn't he here?" asked Karui her team had met him
"Yes" answered the Godlike figure" That's why they aren't here now." everyone nodded their heads
"He met the boy while accompanying Danzō in forcing the boys was in the shortlist to become the Fourth Hokage a list that only had three names on it."
"Who were those?" asked Tobirama when he had become the Hokage there had been only his name on considerate the same when Hizuren had become the Hokage to have more than one person on considerate meant that they had more strong enough shinobi and that was a good sign.
"Well, Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, and Fugaku Uchiha."
"Yeah and Fugaku would have won if those idiots from the console hadn't downplayed the role, he had in winning the war," mumbling Minato making everyone look at him as his bright blue eyes turned purple in anger making people take a step back not wanting to cross an angry Yondaime.
"They didn't need to you like to overplaying his role in the war," said Hizuren smoking from his pipe quietly not even affected by that look.
"Well if they downplayed and I overplayed his role his true importance in the war would be revealed," said Minato smirking that should have been illegal among many girls lose blood from their noses.
"Orochimaru had a bigger chance of winning against Fugaku because very few people wanted an Uchiha as their Hokage after what Madara did. Through that didn't mean Fugaku didn't have supporters he did a lot more than many other Uchiha would especially outside his own Clan which was something never heard before but he would never win against the two of them."
"Not that I wanted to I was really glad to support Minato as our Hokage." the former Uchiha Head said getting a look from every Senju because no Uchiha supported anyone who wasn't an Uchiha and that was weird
" Plus I knew he would make the best Hokage we ever had and I was right," he smirked as the Hokage again blushed.
Dan smirked at the younger man and said," You didn't like compliments that much do you?"
Minato looked at his father and blushed again" No I can't say I do my mother used to say it was something I had inherited only from my father which was usually coded for something that I had inherited from her doesn't like admitting I could inherit any bad qualities from her. "Everyone chuckled at that
"Yes, the only thing Orochimaru had more than Minato had been that he had more experiences than him," said Hinata
"No, he wouldn't," said Hizuren as soon as he said that wide blue eyes turned to him" Minato was more well-loved than Orochimaru even before he actually won the war for us after that his popularity only skyrocketed and the fact that he had the support of every Clan Heir, even the Uchiha Clan at the time didn't do him any damage." by the time he finished Minato again was blushing like mad and again Dan was hit with the thought that he looked a lot like Tsunade like that but that would be impossible.
"Yes, and the fact he intended to use that title for his own agenda didn't help his cause," said the future Hokage's wife she had hated him for wanting using the title her father-in-law had died for and the same title Naruto loved for his own use.
"I knew the potential evil he had in him I just hoped to stir Orochimaru from that path." said the aged Hokage felling his years more and more he had failed his student.
"Lord Hokage some people are beyond your ability to help no matter how much you want to do it."
"What happened then?" asked Konohamaru he had heard how much that betrayal had hurt his grandfather and how strong the man had been and how he had learned that that same man would one day kill his grandfather and Konohamaru loved his grandfather very much and didn't want to lose him.
" When Lord Hokage finally named Minato his successor instead, Orochimaru saw no more reason to remain in Konoha and began to be less discreet with his actions. This led to his experimentation on Hashirama Senju's DNA with sixty children he kidnapped to recreate the First's Wood Release," she said the last part in a rush because she knew what was going to happen
"WHAT!" yelled the First Hokage looking ready to kill someone but soon he realized he couldn't move at all
He turned to the Head of the Nara Clan and said threadedly "Let go of me!"
"I am not doing anything Lord Hokage, there isn't any light at the moment." true to his word a cloud was blocking the sun at the moment "I would ask Minato politely if I was you though we don't like when someone threatens him." many glares were directed at him after that
"What do you mean the Nara Clan in the only one who can capture people like this," said Tobirama he different from his brother who was angry he was curious
"It isn't shadowed that it's keeping him locked in his place is his own chakra," said Minato
"What do you mean?" asked the black-haired man
"Promise you won't go after Orochimaru and I will tell you." came the response with a glare that reminded the First Hokage too much of his wife and granddaughter for his comfort.
"HOW CANNOT YOU ASK ME THAT DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT HE HAD DONE TO PEOPLE YOU HAVE SWORN TO PROTECT. TO CHILDREN EVEN." yelled the Founder of Konoha no one had ever seen him yell not even his own wife
"OF COURSE I HEARD I WAS THERE WHEN LORD THIRD WENT TO STOP HIM I SAW THE BODIES OF THE DEAD, I SAW CHILDREN PUT IN CAPSULES WITING TO BE EXPERIMENTED ON, I SAW HIM EXPERIMENT IN A CHILD THE SECOND WE ENTERED THE ROOM WITHOUT AN EMOTION ON HIS FACE JUST FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL GAIN BUT I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO PREVENT THE WAR THAT IS COMING IN THE FUTURE. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE MY FRIENDS DEAD, THEIR CHILDREN DEAD AND ESPECIALLY I DONT WANT TO SEE MY VILLAGE AND EVERYONE IN, IT DEAD AS YOU SAID ALL OF US HAVE MADE A VOW TO PROTECT THE VILLAGE AND THAT DOESN'T STOP BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLE FACT THAT WE ARE DEAD. THE VILLAGE HAS TO AWAYS COME FIRST."
The older man nodded his head through he didn't like it but raised his head when his wife said" There is something else isn't it." she smirked the young man reminded her a lot of her husband but had a better head on his shoulders similar to her brother-in-law that was a better combination.
"My mother has already lost me I don't want her to have to bury grandchildren too because of the fact I know my oldest would do anything for his village and I suspect my youngest is the same if he is anything like his mother."
Everyone who knew both of them snorted with the future Hinata being the youngest which earned her a glare from her grandfather " What was that?" asked the present-day Hinata speaking for the first time in a while
"Because of the fact, his son does have a lot of his mother in him personality-wise at least he is definitely his father's son so he would definitely give his life for the village."
Minato looked down he would never be able to get to see his youngest son grow up and that's the only thing that made him think only for a second not to give his life for the village it was only a second but it made him so ashamed at himself but he did know that his youngest son would hate him for what he did when he learned he was his father, after all, Kakashi knew the life of a shinobi his twelve years old Naruto did not.
Naruto walked to the man that was the hero he had always been able to feel other people's emotions that was one of the reasons he didn't hate the villagers he could well sadden every time they looked at him no hatred like it was to be expected so he could fell the sadness from the older blond and deciding on a wimp he went close to him and said" Don't be sad it isn't a good look on you." said Naruto making his father looks at him and chuckled his mother had told him the same thing once.
"Thank you, Naruto." the younger blond smiled now looking more like his father than like his mother as he had looked shortly before that moment
Minato turned to his future daughter-in-law and silently asked a question she knew he was going to ask soon enough "Yes he does have his grandfather's ability." said the former Hyūga Princess making the blue-eyed man smile
"Huh." said the Fourth's son looking confused at the white-eyed woman
"Your grandfather had a very rare ability to feel the emotions of other people and understand them you and your father could feel them just the same way as him that's what I meant by that."
"So that's why I can understand what people are feeling every time I am close to them." said the heir of the Fourth getting a nod as his answer
Dan frowned that ability was one that his clan was known for so the little boy had a grandfather who was a member of his extinct clan that's good to know it narrowed down the possibilities fro his father.
Hashirama turned to the youngest Hokage and said:" Can you please release me from whatever hold you have on me."
"Ups," he said sheepishly" I totally forgot about it." he smiled making everyone chuckle no one could stay mad at him for very long no matter what
He closed his eyes and the link between the two of them snapped and freed the older man from the confines" How did you do that you aren't a Nara right?"
The young man chuckled and said, "No I am not I didn't trap you with shadow but with your own chakra I changed my chakra partially to be the same as your and controlling the chakra flow by doing that I can make you do whatever I want."
"That's a really great technique did you invented it?" asked Dan looking at the young man impressed as were the others but it was only his look that made the young Hokage blush from head to toe he had always hoped to make his father proud of him and he was glad he was on the right track even if he never did achieve.
The Most Beloved Hokage nodded his head still blushing and for who knows how many times Dan was struck with the fact he looked a lot like his fiancé.
Hinata continued because she could see the gears in the man's head working she didn't want him to figure it out so soon it would ruin the surprise after all" To make these experiments he had help from Danzō." fierce blue eyes turned to the older shinobi with a glare so strong that many felt the need to move away from him a second a larger wind started to blow until the blond-haired Hokage breathed and calmed down through there still was some wind" Believing this experiment to be a failure after the deaths of so many children, Orochimaru was unaware that one child had survived his Wood Release experiment. Isn't that right Yamato?" said the future woman looking ANBU in question in the eye well mask how she knew who it was they didn't know.
Said ANBU didn't answer he didn't have permits form the Hokage to do it making the woman sigh he was more rule-abiding than Sai had been before Danzō died and Kakashi when he was younger but seeing that her brother-in-law had been his example she didn't blame him so she looked at the Third who understood.
" Yamato removes your mask and come here."
The man who might be the same age as Kakashi removed his mask showing that he had short brown hair and black, almond-shaped wore the standard attire of the ANBU: a black, sleeveless jumper under a grey flak jacket with strapped-up shinobi sandals, arm-length gloves with guards over them. He carried a sword strapped to his back and wore a mask that resembles a cat's face covered in green which was of course revived, and red intricate markings, and the ANBU tattoo on his left shoulder. He turned to the future woman and asked:" How did you know that the only people that know I have wood release are the Third, the console and Kakashi."
"If time had gone like it was supposed to have been you would have become a Jōnin and would have made the replacement the team leader of Team 7 and later help Naruto control the Kyuubi, after all, there is only so much the First's neckless can do."
Everyone was looking at her, Yamato was glad he could do something to help while the others were wondering what the First's neckless was.
"I am sorry the what?" asked a member of the Nara Clan
"She means this," said Tsunade removing a neckless from her neck that neckless was simple but not less beautiful and glowing in the light
Naruto walked forwarded and looked at it with a glow just as bright in his eyes" It's pretty." he said while holding it in his hands his eyes bright to rival the sky he felt a connection to that neckless for some reason maybe it was because of the Tailbeats inside of him.
What he said made the oldest blond chuckled Minato had said the same thing when he had first seen it.
"It's expensive." said the future Hinata again earing everyone's attention and a confused look from almost everyone one even those who had had ownership of the neckless once
"It's cursed," said Tsunade looking that neckless with hatred in her eyes those from Konoha nodded it was true the neckless was cursed to kill everyone who wore it other than Lady Tsunade
"I know it's really pretty but how much could it cost?" asked Kurotsuchi looking at it from afar she didn't believe to be cursed and wondered why she thought that" And is it cursed?"
"No, it's not cursed she just thinks like that because her brother, fiancé, and son died while wearing it and her oldest grandson almost died while wearing it's not cursed it's just a coincidence. But everyone who knows the history of the neckless says it's cursed. Though it's expensive and that's a fact because If you sell it, you could buy three mountains containing gold mines with the profits." said the future getting shocked eyes from everyone" Actually, that's the least you could get depending on the buyer you could get enough to buy a small nation."
"WHAT!" yelled everyone
"How could something cost that much?" asked the Mizukage shocked yes it was pretty and yes it did belong to the First Hokage but what else could do?
"Well, The First Hokage's necklace which originally belonging to Hashirama Senju and is made from a special "Crystal Gem" and augmented his abilities to capture and control tailed beasts."
"IT CAN CAPTURE TAIL BEASTS!" yelled the other Kages
"And control them." said the future daughter-in-law to the Fourth like it was nothing
"What's its history?" asked Naruto looking at the neckless still in his hand he felt a connection to it and he didn't understand why.
"Well it was kept by The First Hokage later his granddaughter, Tsunade, inherited it several decades ago. She, in turn, gave it to two people her younger brother, Nawaki, and her fiancé, Dan Katō, in the hopes that it would help them achieve their dreams of becoming Hokage. "
Tsunade looked down she had always blamed herself for their deaths mostly for Dan she could have saved him if her chakra control hadn't sucked at that moment looking at her son she would never say those words out loud because he would blame himself for his father's death it wasn't his fault that she had been pregnant at the time and that that condition made ever the best chakra control terrible" But Both died soon after receiving the necklace and never becoming the Hokage they wanted, the necklace was returned to Tsunade's possession and leading others to believe the necklace was cursed. Believing this, Tsunade kept the necklace for herself for the next years and lost faith in those who shared Nawaki and Dan's dream of becoming Hokage."
"I didn't lose faith in everyone who wanted to become Hokage." said the last Senju looking at the blue sky a blue so pale compared to the color of her son's eyes not wanting to look at her actual son's eyes.
The future woman chuckled and said," Your son doesn't count Tsunade."
Dan chose to ignore for the moment the mention of his son through his heart swelled with pride at the fact his son wanted to be a Hokage too and turned to the love of his life whom he loved her even after death and said:" You know my death wasn't your fault or the neckless I was actually surprised to have lived that long as I did."
"I know that but that doesn't mean I have to like it, Dan," said Tsunade looking at the men she loved and remembered not only his dead body but also that of their only son it was fair that he had to lose both two of them.
"So, I am guessing they are still people who would love to buy it despite that curse label?" asked Temari
"Yes, but Over the years, despite Tsunade's gambling addiction, she did not wager the necklace, as Jiraiya thought she would have done so long ago." the Toad Sannin was hit over his head from the Slug Princess at that but he didn't comment he knows it was safer that way for him
"I would never sell that neckless despite everything and besides, I didn't need the money I have enough of them as it is."
"If the timeline had gone like it was supposed to when Tsunade met Naruto she would l give him the neckless."
"Why?" asked Naruto looking at the woman he liked her a lot and he could read a lot more in her eyes than in anyone else he had met before.
"Well, you did dream of becoming Hokage like her brother, fiancé, and son."
'You are also her grandson' through Hinata but out loud she said" So she decided to tempt fate one more time, Tsunade made a bet with Naruto if he could master a very special technique to her in a week, therefore proving himself worthy of the position of Hokage after all you need to remember that two of her family members were Hokage and so was her teacher and her brother, fiancé, and son wanted the job so if you get her approved you have made a lot of good steps in that direction and she would give him her necklace if you succeeded.
"Really." said the future Hokage as he again looked at the older woman suddenly a flash of an old dream that he had never really remembered when he wakes up came into his mind a bright smile and bright golden eyes but it soon disappeared like it had done many times before.
"So, did I succeed?" asked the cute blond boy
"Well, you did agree and was able to accomplish the task, prompting Tsunade to put faith in the title of Hokage and the necklace one more time after many years."
"Yeah!" said Naruto jumping in the air making everyone chuckle
