Hello everyone and welcome back!
Sorry for not updating in a while, but I wasn't feeling too good a couple weeks ago and I've been pretty busy but now I'm back so don't worry.
Now, I've been going over the reviews looking at your guys' requests for powers and harem suggestions. I will be addressing those and a couple of other things as well as the poll.
First, I want to say thank you all for the great reviews and that I really appreciate it.
Second, I make announcements on polls, the harem and other things all on the dummy story on my profile. So, if you guys want to be updated on any changes happening or any announcements I make, then also follow and the notes for God above Gods because that is where I post things, such as harem changes, Naruto's powers and weapons, and announcements on polls and such.
Third, I saw some great suggestions for the harem, but I also saw some that I'm not really sure about.
Ultimate Fighter: Thank you for the suggestion on the "Fist World" I think that was an excellent idea, and I had actually planned on adding Street Fighter characters to the harem, but the other suggestions, I will think about.
RVB: I am not sure how a Fem. Kratos would work, especially since him being male makes his character so much better, so I will not be adding that one.
Fourth, the person who was named Meta, actually brought up a good point. I have noticed that I sometimes have characters who have the same name and that could be very confusing. So, if anyone sees characters that have the same name, and are from different animes or games, please let me know, and also let me know of any nickname suggestions that you have because that will be very hard for me to do on my own.
Finally, if you guys think about asking for a genderbent character, please think long and hard about who it is, where they come from, and how it might affect the story. Once you do that, send me what the request is, I will read it over, and decide if I will add it or not.

Chapter 4 The Shichibukai, Tremors, and Reveal of Insanity!
Right now, we find ourselves in the Hokage office, with Minato staring at the four women, who still had blushes and dreamy looks on their faces, before him with shock, along with the ANBU, even though you can't see them. They didn't understand why these four beautiful women would want to marry the demon. What on earth could he have possibly done to make them want to marry him.
Minato then collected himself and asked, "May I know why you would like to marry him?" While trying to control his voice as best as possible and was mostly successfully, but still let some disdain slip, which was caught by the women, except for Marguerite, who was still in La La land, making them snap out of it and get stoic faces.
Boa then cleared her throat, which finally snapped Marguerite out of it, and said, "We wish to marry him because we love him. He assisted us and our island of Amazon Lily, and we each got to know him and slowly fell in love with him."
Minato raised his eyebrow, "And what exactly did he do for you and your island?" asked Minato, wanting to find out what the demon did that could possibly warrant this type of reaction.
"Well, Naruto-sama…" Sandersonia began to answer but was interrupted by an excited Marguerite.
"He helped us protect our island from an invasion, even though we didn't allow him to stay past the docks when he first arrived!" Marguerite explained, while having a starry look in her eyes.
Sandersonia then coughed into her fist, "That is a shortened version, but yes, that is what he did."
Minato heard this and began to think, 'I refuse to believe that the demon was able to defend an entire island by himself, but if this is true, then that means the demon is getting stronger. I can't allow that, because if that happens, then I won't be considered the strongest in the village anymore. And that is something I refuse to let happen!'
You see, Minato has always been prideful, and it was that same pride that lead him to treating Naruto terribly when he was a child because he knew that Naruto was the "Child of Prophecy." Because he figured, if Naruto was too weak to stop all the wars, then he would be able to swoop in and stop them himself, then he would get all the fame and glory. The only things that would have had to happen to achieve that, is he get a new arm, and train himself to be stronger than Naruto. But now, if what he was hearing is correct, then that would mean that Naruto is stronger than he is.
Minato then shook his head, and said, "Well, I'm sorry. But right now, he is getting his team assignments so you will have to wait until he passes his genin exam before being allowed to see him."
"What exactly do these genin exams require?" Marigold asked, curious about what was needed to pass.
Minato replied, "The exams all differ based on the sensei, and what they decide as the exam. But, if I know his sensei's, then they will most likely make the exam that of combat or something. But I know it will not be easy since one of them is one of the strongest kunoichi in the village."
When Minato said this, he thought that they would begin to rage about what he was thinking. However instead, Boa simply replied, "Oh, is that all?"
Minato was taken aback by this and exclaimed, "What do you mean, 'is that all?!' Did you not hear what I just said?!"
Boa replied, "We heard you, but if it's Naruto-sama, then there is no need to worry. He is not someone who will be defeated easily by just anyone." With the others nodding their heads while having confident smiles on their faces.
"I agree, sister." said Sandersonia, "Especially since he has such a high bounty, that he earned for a reason and with these specific conditions." Sandersonia finished, while looking at a wanted poster that she took out, gaining Minato's attention.
"Bounty?" Minato asked, while having greed clear in his eyes that all four women caught it, "What bounty and what are the conditions?"
Marigold took the wanted poster and answered, "He has a bounty of 750,000,000 Beri, or ryō for you, since it comes out the same, and the condition for his reward is 'Wanted: Dead' but the warning is 'Run on Sight.'" She then handed the poster over to Minato for him to see.
Minato took the wanted poster and had wide-eyes, he couldn't believe that the demon had a bounty that was much higher than his own, and under the same conditions as himself! 'I refuse! I refuse to believe that the demon is that strong!'
"Anyways, if you could direct us to the academy, then we will be on our way in order to see Naruto-sama again." said Sandersonia.
Minato was about to tell them some made-up excuse in order to prevent them from meeting Naruto. But it seems that would not happen, as at the same time, all the Jounin who were going to receive their team assignments came in and saw the four women. The men were all blushing up a storm while also having blood spewing from their noses, while the women were shocked at their choice in clothing.
Boa, not wanting to deal with the men turned to them, put her hands in front of her into the shape of a heart and said, "Mero Mero Mellow!" And from her hands, came a beam in the shape of giant, pink hearts, that hit the men and in a flash they all turned to stone.
All of the shinobi were shocked to see this as they didn't know what just happened. Minato, then snapped out of his shock and said, "That is an interesting power, Boa-san, but we need our shinobi so can you please release them? Otherwise, I will be forced to have you four placed under arrest, and I don't think you would want that."
Boa looked reluctant, but then she decided that it was better to release these filthy males, rather than to be placed under arrest along with her sisters, and fellow kuja warrior. So, with great reluctance, Boa turned to the men and blew a kiss while saying, "Mezameyo."
Everyone watched as she blew a kiss at the men that were turned to stone that summoned a small heart. They all watched as the heart began to float over to the men before it then popped making a bunch of smaller hearts come out of it. Everyone, who wasn't turned to stone, watched as the stone slowly receded until the men were all back to normal. Everyone was amazed at this ability, they all wanted to know what happened and how it was possible.
"There," began Hancock, "They are back to normal. Now, may we go and see him or not." Asked Hancock, making everyone, except Minato and the ANBU present, curious on who they were here to see. However, before anyone could say anything, they all suddenly began to feel tremors, causing them to begin losing their footing, except for Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold, and Marguerite.
As the tremors continued, they suddenly began to feel stronger causing everything begin getting messy, scrolls began falling to the ground and unravel, pictures fell off the walls with the frames breaking, and the neat stacks of documents began to fall all over the ground.
"What the hell!? What is going on!?" Minato exclaimed while holding onto the desk, with the shinobi wondering the same thing.
Hancock and the other three all began smiling, as Hancock said, "He knows we're here." This gained everyone's attention, as they all began to look at the four, who they noticed were all smiling.
Kurenai asked, "What do you mean?! Who knows you're here?!"
All four looked at Kurenai, before they looked at each other and nodded, before returning their gazes to Kurenai. But, just as they were about to answer, the door burst open, at the same time as the tremors stopped, knocking away all of the men who were still sitting in front of it. Everyone looked to see it was a grinning Naruto who was looking at the four, before he said, "I knew that energy felt familiar."
Upon seeing Naruto, everyone was wondering why he was here, the four Kuja warriors, however, began to smile before they all launched themselves at him, while exclaiming, "NARUTO-SAMA~!" The five of them landed on the floor with the four women hugging him tightly as Naruto returned the hug and all of them laughing with the women also rubbing up on him and Sandersonia and Marguerite grinding on his legs. All of a sudden, Naruto was surprised when Hancock just suddenly began kissing him, but swiftly got into it and began to return it, with the other three women, and the kunoichi watching, feeling jealous at not being in Hancock's place. Seeing this, all the shinobi who came for their team assignments, went wide-eyed, not expecting these four women to suddenly launch themselves at Naruto or for one of them to begin a make-out session with him.
But the big question they wanted to know was…
Where the hell did those tremors come from?
(Flashback, ten minutes before…)
While Minato was busy meeting Hancock and the others, all the students were waiting for their senseis to come and get them. They were either talking with each other, going over their equipment, or just sitting there, brooding (*cough*Sasuke*cough). Naruto was still sitting in the back with Chocho while lying on the desk, but sitting with them, was also Sakura, Hinata, Yakumo, Naruko, Ino, Kira, and Satsuki. They were all talking about still training together when they aren't on missions, or needed by their team, as well as days that they could all hang out, while all the males stared at Naruto with jealousy in their eyes, and the girls were staring at the girls wishing they were in their place.
"So, what do you guys think about the teams?" asked Naruto, who looked very relaxed.
"I guess their alright, but I got stuck with the emo." said Sakura, getting winces from the girls and Naruto.
"Yeah, that's gonna suck." said Satsuki, feeling pity towards Sakura for getting stuck with her stupid emo of a brother.
Naruto then added, "Hey, if anything, you can use this as an opportunity to get some blackmail on him. Then we can all have something on him." The girls all thought about it and began giggling with evil smiles on their faces, that made everyone else watching shiver in fear.
"Well," began Ino, "I think we'll be fine with our team, right Yakumo?" She asked, getting the girl to look at her.
"Yeah, plus, from what Chocho said, Choji is really nice and polite." Yakumo said, happy that she got a nice team.
"We should be good as well, since we have Kurenai-sensei as our sensei. And Shino is also really nice, kinda quiet, but nice." Kira said, getting a nod from Hinata.
Everyone then looked at Chocho, Satsuki, and Naruko, before Kira added, "Besides, we're all pretty jealous at your three's luck." With a playful glare that was matched by the other girls, while the three of them had blushes and chuckled nervously.
Naruto also began to lightly chuckle with half-lidded eyes, while still laying his head on his arms. He liked to be here just relaxing with his friends, but he also misses some of the people he met while out on the sea. As he kept relaxing he suddenly felt a flash of energy, that made his eyes shoot wide open and he shot up from his seat, startling the girls and gaining everyone else's attention.
Naruto looked in the direction of the Hokage tower and thought, 'Was that? No, it couldn't be!' Then. Naruto another flash of the same energy, 'It is!'
Everyone watched as Naruto slowly grinned from ear to ear, before they were all surprised, Sasuke with envy, when Naruto's hands were suddenly covered in a bubble of clear, white energy before it spread to all over his body in a thin layer. They were all then surprised when at the same time that the bubbles were summoned, they all felt tremors begin to occur causing all of them to begin clinging to their desks. Some of them looked out the windows and exclaimed how even the village was feeling the tremors, shocking everyone in the room.
Naruto then began running out the door, before he made his way out of the academy. As he ran, every step he took caused the tremors to worsen all throughout the village and every step left cracks that would spread out for about a foot in length from where he stepped. He kept running and was making his way towards the Hokage Tower. As he ran up the stairs, causing the tower to now experience tremors on a much harder scale. He finally saw the door, and slammed it open, not feeling the resistance from the men that were in front of it, and saw four women he was familiar with, but only one that he knew could have created that energy.
With his grin still present he said, "I knew that energy felt familiar."
He watched as the four women launched themselves at him while exclaiming, "NARUTO-SAMA~!" Before they all landed on the ground, laughing, while holding each other, with Boa and Sandersonia on his right, and Marigold and Marguerite on his left, all of them feeling up Naruto's body and blushing at the muscles and firm abs they felt. The other women present all began blushing at how handsome Naruto looked smiling and how his laugh sounded so pleasant. Naruto, as well as everyone else, were then all greatly surprised, when Hancock suddenly began kissing him, and they all saw Sandersonia, and Marguerite grinding up on him, with Sandersonia taking his right arm, and Marguerite taking his left leg, both still blushing, with Marigold still rubbing his chest and abs. Naruto was shocked for a second before he got into the kiss and began returning it, while also adding tongue and dominating Hancock in the kiss.
After a few minutes of kissing and grinding, the five of them stopped, with Hancock now having hearts for pupils, and got up from the ground, before Naruto, still holding Hancock by her waist, began, "Oh my Kami! Hancock! I haven't seen you since Marineford!" Naruto exclaimed, snapping Hancock out of her daze, then he turned to the other three, "And you three, I haven't seen you since I helped your island! How've you all been? And how's Amazon Lily been?"
Sandersonia answered with a blush, "We've all been good, and so has Amazon Lily. We are surprised at how well, you've managed to recuperate, from what we last heard from your fellow crewmates, you were covered in bandages, and were unconscious for 5 days before regaining consciousness, all after an explosion of energy that onee-sama told us she witnessed happen that apparently, all emerged from you."
Everyone had different reactions to the past few minutes, the male shinobi all were envious of Naruto for having four beautiful women all in love and lusting after him, and were curious on what happened. The female shinobi were all envious of the women for being able to cling and kiss Naruto like they did, and then felt worry at hearing Naruto had been hurt. Minato on the other hand was filled with envy and fury, both on how the demon got these four women, and for the amount of power that they are saying all came from him.
Naruto chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head, "Yeah, it was a crazy few days. The guys told me that after I finished my rampage on Marineford, they actually discovered Whitebeard's Gura-gura no mi and Blackbeard's Yami-yami no mi among our fruits in the hold since I apparently killed Blackbeard, who was still on Marineford at the time. After I came to, me and the guys all started talking about what we were going to do with the fruits, before it was decided that I eat the Gura-gura no mi, and figure something out with the Yami-yami no mi. After that, we began travelling back here to my country, and during the travel, I just slowly practiced with pop's powers which, oddly enough, let me make some new moves."
Naruto took on a thinking pose, before he shook his head, "Anyway, after that, we made it here, where I told them if they ever needed me to call me on my Den Den Mushi," Naruto pulled out a sleeping orange snail from his pocket, it had a red shell in the shape of a spiral, a mouth and under that was the same mark Naruto had on his back, Naruto then continued, "And before they left, I gave Marco a bunch of envelopes that held letters and pieces of my vivre card, that were to be sent to a bunch of my friends, and many others, with you guys being some of them." Naruto finished, while putting the snail back in his pocket.
Boa nodded her head and said, "We did receive your letters, which let all of Amazon Lily rest easy, as they had been worrying about their protector since all they heard last was that you were unconscious." Boa finished with her hands on her hips and leaning towards Naruto with a knowing look.
Naruto chuckled nervously again and said, "Yeah, I kinda figured they would, but that is why I sent the letter as well, since I figured they would have been worried about me."
Boa smiled and nodded her head, "Well, you were correct, since when they heard the news, all of Amazon Lily wanted to go to you to make sure you were okay, but the letter also calmed them down. So, everything turned out just fine."
Naruto nodded his head, "That's good. I was afraid that everyone I knew would be worried which is why I sent out so many letters, since I figured many people would be worried about me, and the pieces of my vivre card would also help calm them down."
Boa and the others nodded, figuring that a piece of his vivre card would be the best way to calm many of his friends and allies down. Before they could continue their conversation however, they heard a throat clearing and turned to see it was Minato, who was subtly glaring at Naruto. Naruto thinking, he was being rude said, "Excuse me, fuckhead." This gained gasps of shock from the men, and stifled giggles from the women present, "We are talking here, and you are being really rude right now."
Minato grew red in the face at the insult, before he calmed down and said, "What is rude, is that a weakling like you interrupted a meeting that you had no need to be a part of. So, apologize and leave this room immediately, so that people of importance may speak." Everyone looked at Minato with anger, and disgust in their eyes at how condescending he sounded. They all turned to look at Naruto to see how he was handling it and were all surprised at how he looked.
Naruto gave Minato a cold stare with dead eyes, which sent shivers up everyone's back at how cold it was, and said, in an emotionless tone, "If that was true, then why are they now talking to me and ignoring your existence like the pathetic worm that you are." This made everyone go wide-eyed at how cold Naruto sounded and the insults he was sending Minato, before Naruto began releasing a small amount of his power, gaining a small, white aura around his body, causing the room to begin shaking again, "And, you aren't strong or important, only a bigoted fool who will ruin himself and the village in the future with all your poor choices and decisions. After all, if you were someone who was strong and important, then the other villages would have attempted to make peace with you, but since it has not happened, then that means that you are weak and unimportant."
Everyone watched as Naruto talked down to the Hokage as if he was an ant, and they could see that he was not feeling an ounce of shame while doing so. Everyone could also tell that Naruto was holding back a lot of power and this fact made Minato feel furious that the demon had so much power!
Then, when it looked like it was going to take a turn for the worse, Naruto stopped releasing his power and turned to the others in the room, and said, "I apologize for my rudeness, as I know you were all here to receive your team assignments." While bowing only his head forward a bit, before continuing, "Everyone is waiting for their senseis, so I will not keep you any longer."
Naruto then turned to Boa and the other three with her, and said, with a calm smile, "I will see you four later as well, since I want to catch up some more." And with that Naruto began to make his way towards the door, in order to get back to class.
Minato didn't like how he was being dismissed as nothing more than an annoyance to Naruto, and decided to teach him a lesson, so he shouted, "ANBU!"
As soon as he shouted that, three ANBU immediately appear. The first two were Tenzō and Kuma, they were standing behind the third, who was Neko, and Naruto noticed her hair, but didn't say anything, as they all appeared before Minato.
"What are your orders, Hokage-sama?" asked Neko.
"Tell the village to gather in the stadium tomorrow! Tell them all to show up! They won't want to miss the event tomorrow." Minato ordered, getting everyone's attention, including Naruto's, about what is going on.
"What is the event that is happening tomorrow, Hokage-sama?" Neko asked, confused and curious and why they were receiving these orders.
"The event tomorrow will be a fight between me and Naruto Uzumaki, the 'God of Wrath!'" Minato says, while holding up the wanted poster, showing everyone what was on it.
All the shinobi saw the poster and went wide-eyed at what they were seeing. At the top of the poster, was the word, 'Wanted!' in big bold letters, at the bottom was a bounty of 750,000,000 berries with the words, 'Dead Only!' above the bounty. Under the bounty were the conditions, 'Risk Death, or Flee on Sight!' However, the two things that drew everyone's attention, were the picture and the name on the poster. The name on the poster read, 'Naruto Uzumaki: The God of Wrath!' The picture showed Naruto, in the middle of an attack. His left arm was forward with his right arm pulled back, fists clenched, and with the same golden look and design that the women present know about, a rage-filled snarl on his face and his eyes appearing to be glowing white. He had the same Hakama pants on, only now tattered at the bottom with the right leg missing up to the middle of his shin and no vest. All while in the background was an explosion, that caused shadows to create the same demon image that the women saw from before.
All of the shinobi turned to Naruto, who only had a bored look on his face, with half-lidded eyes, before he starting tilting his head to both sides, cracking his neck which got some winces from the shinobi by how loud the cracks were. Naruto then looked at Minato and said, "Be prepared to lose tomorrow, Nōtarin (dumbass)." Naruto then turned to Boa and the others, "Come on you four, I'll take you to my family's compound so that we can catch up later and you have a place to stay, while I take the test to become a genin with my team tomorrow." When Naruto said this, he surprised the shinobi and kunoichi even more at knowing there was a second test.
With that, Naruto left the room with Boa and the others following behind, leaving a bunch of dumbstruck shinobi and kunoichi, a fuming Minato. The shinobi and kunoichi couldn't believe that Naruto was possibly that dangerous, especially the kunoichi who knew him, but when they remembered the event with Mizuki and looked at the wanted poster, that was now on the ground, they began to rethink this logic.
(With Naruto and the others…)
After leaving the Hokage building, the group of five made their way through the village towards the Uzumaki clan compound, and as they were walking, everyone was looking at the group. The men would look at Boa, Sandersonia, Marigold, and Marguerite with lust and would look at Naruto with envy since he was talking with them happily. While the women did the complete opposite and lusted after Naruto for his looks, and were envious of the women for their looks, figures, and wishing they could be the ones Naruto talks to and smiles at. Of course Naruto, Boa, and the others ignored all of the people and just kept to themselves.
Eventually, they made it to the compound, where the five of them went inside and met Kurami and spent time together, talking and drinking tea with some snacks. As the group was talking, they learned about quite a few things that happened over the past three, almost four, weeks since Marineford. Boa and the others were surprised to find out that he had eaten Whitebeard's devil fruit, and was given Whitebeard's bisento. But the most surprising things, was to find out that Naruto was now the newest Yonkou and wasn't questioned about it.
The four of them knew that Naruto was powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have the name, the "God of Wrath," but to not be questioned about being given the title of Yonkou by another is an entirely different issue altogether. The pure fact that he wasn't questioned about gaining the title the way he did, also shows how much people respect him as well. Especially since the Marines didn't say anything or try going against Naruto says everything about Naruto's power and how well known he is.
Then they learned that Kurami, was actually a beast known as the Kyuubi no Yoko and used to be sealed inside of Naruto. They asked how she got out, and she said that she mixed her chakra with Naruto's, and took just enough chakra so that she would be fine, while the rest stayed inside the seal. They asked how she mixed their energy and Kurami told them how she had claimed Naruto as her mate. At this, the four women started getting jealous and depressed, thinking that they missed their chance to marry Naruto, but when Kurami said that they could still be with him, they got confused. Kurami then explained that since Naruto is the last male of his clan, then he would be able to marry multiple women in order to ensure that the clan was restored. The four women were surprised at this information, and asked if this would even be alright, and Kurami said it would be just fine. Then Kurami got a mischievous look to her face, and said that Naruto's stamina also helps, this got the four women to blush brightly while looking at Naruto, who was currently deadpanning at Kurami. The four thought about it for a while and then agreed since they had originally been willing to share with each other, so what was some more women.
As for Naruto, he learned that Luffy was taken to an island near Amazon Lily to recuperate from his wounds from Marineford alongside Jinbei with Raleigh looking over them. He found out how Luffy had cried about failing his brother, but was proud that he was training to get stronger. He always liked the kid and his simplistic way of thinking. Then they began telling him about how Amazon Lily calmed down after his letter, and that everyone still missed having him there. They also said how Bacura misses him and can't wait for his next visit, at which he just chuckled.
The group just kept talking and enjoying each other's company, hoping that this would never end…
But it did in the form of Kushina slamming the door open and seeing her son just sitting there having tea, talking to the four women from before with Kurami, and looking like he had all the time in the world. Kushina bounded over to him, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and began dragging him towards the backyard, with the other four following behind. Once they all made it outside, they were greeted by the rest of Naruto's team, as well as the other girls and usual group of women who all come hang out together, who all looked very worried about something.
Naruto frowned seeing this and asked, "What's wrong everyone? Why the long faces?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" Kushina exclaimed, "What's wrong, is that you are going to fight the Hokage tomorrow, and all your doing is sitting around having tea! Are you even ready for tomorrow?!"
Everyone else was nodding their heads, agreeing with Kushina that Naruto was being too laid back right now, but then Boa cleared her throat, gaining everyone's attention on her, before she said, "If this is a problem about whether Naruto-sama is strong enough, then I think you will find that Naruto will do fine, since in all the time that I've known him, he has never lost a battle or fight. The only times I've seen him relaxing before a battle or fight, was when he has nothing to worry about."
Everyone was skeptical about what she was saying, until they noticed the look of pure confidence and honesty that Boa had, showing that she was telling the truth, and that she knew Naruto would not lose, but they still couldn't help but be worried. They all began to slowly nod their heads, showing they still had some doubt, before they heard Naruto begin talking, gaining their attention.
"Tell you what, since you all are still worried, how about this," Began Naruto, gaining everyone's attention, "Tomorrow, I will make a bet with Minato, and to show that I am confident that I'll win, I'll bet, that if I lose, he can put a loyalty seal on me, so that I basically become an emotionless weapon," At this, everyone gasped in shock and horror at what he was suggesting, but before they could say anything Naruto continued, "But should he lose, he not only steps down as Hokage after the next chunin exams, but I get to choose the next Hokage and he may no longer interfere with anything concerning me, my life, or anyone close to me. Besides, that 'fight,' with Mizuki, was nowhere near close enough to even be a warm-up, so I've really been craving a fight for a while, but it might not be enough since the bastard is missing an arm." He said the last part more to himself than the others, but they still heard him, however they didn't really care about that.
For you see, everyone, including Boa and the others, all went wide-eyed at the bet Naruto was proposing. They all knew that Naruto was incredibly smart and strong, so they knew that he would never make such a bet unless he 100% knew, that there was no way he was going to lose. Everyone began calming down, and then they all went back inside, smiling and talking with each other, getting to know one another. Waiting for tomorrow to come, so that they could watch Naruto battle against Minato.
(Next Day, Village Arena…)
It was now the next day, and everyone in the village was at the arena in the stands. They were all told to show up for an event that was to take place today, and they were waiting to find out what was going on. In the stands, Kushina sat with the other women of their group, all of them waiting for the fight and praying that Naruto will be alright.
The group were all talking amongst each other, waiting for the match to start, or getting to know Boa and the others better. As they were all talking Tsume noticed that Kushina was rubbing her hands together nervously, while having a worried look to match. Tsume moved towards Kushina and said, "Hey, don't worry. You remember what Boa-san said, if Naruto wasn't completely sure of himself, then he wouldn't be making the bet that he told us about. So, relax and have faith in your son, ok?"
Kushina gave a weak smile and nod, before she then turned her attention back to the arena grounds where Minato appeared in his jounin outfit with his haori over it that had red flame designs on the bottom and began talking, "Hello everyone! Now, I know you all must be confused as to why I called you all here, and it is for you all to witness a fight between me and Naruto Uzumaki, who is apparently known as the, 'God of Wrath!'" Minato said mockingly, not believing that Naruto is stronger than himself, even if he only has one arm.
While Minato was inside his little world, everyone was shocked and surprised at what would be happening. They hadn't expected for the event to be a fight, but for their one-armed Hokage to fight someone who was named the, "God of Wrath," they all really hoped nothing went wrong. However, then people began to realize who the opponent is, and there were mixed reactions. While a large portion of the village began shouting for the Hokage to finally finish off the demon. While the rest of the village, who had begun to realize that Naruto wasn't a demon, they began to worry for the young Uzumaki, since they knew just how brutal the village could be, even though they heard what the young Uzumaki was called.
Minato then began to talk again, "Now, I know all of you must be wondering why this fight is happening," At this, the entire village began nodding, except for the Uzumaki haters, since they all didn't care, and only thought that Minato was doing this to finish off the demon brat, "Well, the reason for this fight, is because Naruto Uzumaki does not know how to respect his betters, and that will be the purpose of this fight," All of the Minato supporters began to like mad men, while the rest of the village, didn't like how these people all acted.
Minato then raised his hand, getting everyone to quiet down, then Minato began to talk again, "Now, let's get this fight started and have Naruto come down here, so we may begin!" Everyone began shouting, or cheering, as Naruto began to walk out of the door to the grounds, but everyone gasped when they saw that on Naruto's back, was a large bisento that looked to be around Naruto's height, maybe a little taller. But what no one but Naruto knew, was that the bisento was actually much larger, but was shrunk down, thanks to a seal that Naruto came up with, that would allow the bisento to change length and size in accordance to Naruto, so that it would always be the perfect size for Naruto. Naruto wore the same outfit as usual, the only difference being that Naruto also had a red bandana with black flame design tied around his head, slightly shadowing his eyes, giving him a serious look. (A.N. Think of how Ryo Kurokiba ties his bandana around his head when cooking.)
Everyone saw how serious Naruto looked and thought that he looked ready for war, but the shinobi, and the people who knew Naruto, all knew that there was something very different about Naruto right now. Before he would give off this powerful aura that felt like you were being stared down by a powerful creature or being but you still felt safe. Now however, he felt like a wild animal that was just waiting for the signal, before letting loose a threshold of energy and power. They all watched as Naruto continued walking towards the center, while his gaze stayed trained on Minato, before he stopped a couple meters away from Minato. He stood there with a slight slouch and his arms hanging by his sides with his hands in his pockets.
Minato then turned towards Naruto, and was giving this condescending smirk, but in his head, Minato was fuming, since, he too, could feel the change in Naruto and he could feel all of the power that the dual-haired teen had within himself. He wanted all that power, believing that a demon such as Naruto, shouldn't have such power and have free will, but should be used as a weapon, or better yet, in Minato's head, all that power should be given to himself, so that he would be the strongest.
While the two were facing each other, a sickly-looking jounin, named Hayate Gekko, came down and held his two arms out to both of them, before asking, "Alright, are both fighters ready?"
Minato nodded immediately, wanting to get the fight started and over with, Naruto however, shook his head, and said, "Before we begin, I would like to propose a bet."
This gained everyone's attention, especially Minato's and most of the civilian council, at what the bet would be and what they could possibly gain from it.
"What is the bet?" asked Minato, with no small amount of greed in his eyes.
"The bet is that should your dumb, fuck headed ass win, I will willingly allow you to place a loyalty seal on me, basically turning me into the same emotionless, dickhead, drones that fuck head Danzo uses as his fuck buddies, since he knows his old, wrinkly ass can't get any from a willing person. And I don't mean using the females." Naruto said, getting Minato to seethe at him for his disrespect, and Hayate to blink, before laughing at what he said about Danzo.
These same reactions were copied by everyone but first, the people who like Naruto were wide-eyed and shocked at how Naruto was talking, since they knew he normally didn't talk like this, or curse this much before they began laughing at what was said about Danzo, completely agreeing with Naruto. The second was that everyone who hated Naruto were seething since they thought that a demon like him, should know about respecting your betters, but then some of them began laughing as well, since they had their suspicions about Danzo and how he acts with his ROOT. The civilian council were also seething, except for Mebuki, who was doing her best to keep from laughing. The village elders, were glaring at Naruto, while Danzo also gripped his cane tightly since he was being made fun of, but couldn't do a thing about it.
Once, everyone calmed down, Naruto continued, "However, when I win, your dumbass will step down as Hokage after the upcoming chunin exams, I will be the one to choose the next Hokage, and then you will have to reveal all those deep, dark secrets that you like to keep about the village, that lets all the fuckheads in the stands love and worship you, like your dumbass is fucking Kami, since they don't know about what your dumb, fuckhead self has done or ordered." At this, everyone quieted down, including the people who liked and supported Naruto, since even they didn't know about the last part. Everyone who supported Minato, couldn't believe the demon would even make such a bet, even the civilian council and elders were shocked by this. However, there was only one person who was not happy with the entire bet.
"Hold on," began Minato, gaining everyone's attention, wondering what he was going to say, "why did you say, 'when I win,' for yourself, but with me, it was, 'should I win?'" Minato asked, angered by the wording that Naruto used.
Naruto tilted his head to both sides, cracking his neck loudly, before replying, "It is because there is no way a weakling such as yourself will ever defeat me, but again, there are miracles for weaklings such as your poor, pathetic self." This made Minato fume, but before he could retort, Naruto asked, "So, are you going to accept the bet, or run away like the weak little bitch that you are?"
Everyone watching the exchange couldn't believe that Naruto was talking down to Minato in an even worse manor than before, but they could all see that despite his new manor of speech, he held confidence in himself and his strength. The group that knew Naruto well, also couldn't believe how much he was talking down to not only the Hokage, but to everyone who mistreated him and belittled him, and yet, they couldn't have been more proud and turned on at the same time, that being especially true in Tsume's, Hana's, and Kira's cases.
All of the villagers that hated Naruto were trying to shout at their Hokage to not take the bet, but Minato's pride and anger got the better of him and he exclaimed, "Fine! However, once I win, you'll also relinquish any techniques and all of your power to me!" Hoping that Naruto would look nervous at this point, but he was frustrated when Naruto didn't even blink.
Naruto then nodded his head and added, "Fine, and since you added an extra reward for yourself then so will I. When I win, you will give up your personal techniques, such as the Hiraishin and the Rasengan, including all of their notes, as well as, all monetary possessions that you possess, such as jewels, weapons, and others such objects."
At hearing this, Minato was now royally pissed, and everyone watching the exchange were dumbfounded, but then Minato shouted, "Fine, I accept the terms!" Then Minato turned to Hayate and shouted, "Now start the match already!"
Hayate, hearing this, nodded his head, and raised his hand into the air, before announcing, "The match between Hokage Minato Namikaze, and Naruto Uzumaki, the 'God of Wrath,' will now commence!" Then Hayate swung his arm down and exclaimed, "Begin!" and then he shunshinned out of the arena floor.
As soon as he was gone Minato charged at Naruto who had not moved from his spot, and launched a kick at his head, however, the second before it could connect, Naruto disappeared in a great show of speed, not even kicking up the dirt. Minato looked around for Naruto but then he felt a presence behind himself, so he turned around to see Naruto was sitting on the floor cross-legged, with the bisento resting on his right shoulder and his arm lazily resting on the pole of the bisento with a piece of paper in his hand that he was looking over. Everybody was amazed by the incredible speed that Naruto showed, especially his mother, since this was even faster than what he showed against Mizuki. Minato was dumbfounded at the speed that Naruto just showed, but then he grew pissed when Naruto, not looking up from the paper, said, "I thought your nickname was the, 'Yellow Flash?' Meaning you should be pretty fast, but your just so damn slow, I mean look at this, I had enough time to draw a picture in the time it took you to attack."
Naruto then proceeded to show off the picture, and it was a picture of Boa Hancock, who was sitting with the group, and it showed her standing on a cliff with one arm hanging just slightly behind her back, and the other pulling some hair behind her ear, that looked to be blown lightly by a breeze, while looking into the sunset. The whole thing looked amazing as it was in such fine detail, and in color, showing the vibrant colors of the sunset, and her dress, while showing the sparkle and life in her eyes, with the gentle smile she had on. Everybody was amazed at the detail of the image, with Kushina and the others feeling kinda jealous that Naruto didn't draw a picture of them, while Hancock was blushing prettily since she could see the amount of detail and effort that was put into the picture, even if it was drawn at rapid speed.
All of a sudden, Naruto created a sealless shadow clone, which surprised everyone, except for Kushina and the others, and then gave the picture to the clone who proceeded to disappear from sight, before appearing next to Hancock, who jumped slightly, then gave the picture to her before dispelling in a small puff of smoke. The others moved closer to get a better look at it, and they all were amazed at Naruto's art skills. Hancock herself was still blushing but was now smiling softly as she knew the scene that Naruto drew was after he had defended Amazon Lily, and was preparing to leave, he had told her that he would always defend the island whenever she needed him, since he would never let anything happen to those who were precious to him. She had never expected to be considered precious to him, especially since she hadn't treated him the best, but he forgave her and understood why she treated him as she had. That was what had cemented her feelings for him, since he acknowledged her beauty, but he didn't simply lust after her like so many other men had before.
Back to the real Naruto, he was still sitting on the floor with the bisento still resting on his shoulder waiting for Minato to do something other than just glare at him. Naruto knew that Minato wouldn't be able to defeat him, since he wasn't strong at all. But, the fact that Minato wasn't even trying to take him on seriously really frustrated Naruto since he would have expected the arrogant ass to at least take this fight seriously after he saw the strength Naruto had used against Mizuki.
"Are you even trying to take this fight seriously? I mean, come on. I know for a fact, that some of my old crewmates can move faster than that and they wouldn't even have to try." Naruto said, while looking at Minato, who was getting angrier and angrier, judging by how red his face was turning, while also confusing everyone as to what he meant by "crewmates." "I mean, yeah, I wasn't expecting much from this fight, but I at least thought it would be better than what I did to Mizuki."
At this, everyone was now wondering what happened, since the village hadn't been told the truth about Mizuki and his attempted betrayal to the leaf, or his death at the hands of Naruto. No one, except those who were there that night, knew of what happened, since Minato wanted to keep it secret, so as to not look any less competent and weaker than he no doubt already did. Minato was already having issues keeping the people's trust in himself since he got divorced and became a cripple in terms of now being one-handed, so he thought keeping even more secrets from the village would keep their trust in him from falling even more.
Oh, how wrong he was.
Naruto was watching everyone's reactions and curiosity begin to build and realized something.
The bastard never told the village about Mizuki's death or his attempted betrayal to Orochimaru.
Naruto then decided it was time to enlighten these people, "So, I'm guessing by everyone's reactions that you never told them about what really happened to Mizuki did you?" Naruto asked rhetorically, already knowing that Minato didn't, given everyone's curiosity.
"Well, everyone, I guess this is a secret that is going to be coming out right now!" Naruto announced, gaining everyone's attention, "You see, a couple days ago, former Konoha Shinobi, Mizuki, attempted to betray Konoha and defect to Orochimaru, with the villages Scroll of Sealing, that is known for possessing many of the villages hidden and personal jutsus." Everyone's eyes went wide at this information, since they had no idea something like that was taken and almost given to one of the village's biggest traitors. "When my family and I were about to celebrate me passing the first part of the genin test, and my return home, I sensed something was wrong, and took off towards the forest. It was here that I found Iruka Umino who had been facing off against Mizuki, but was now slowly dying due to a giant shuriken sticking out of his back. After helping Iruka out of danger, I tracked the traitor and fought him, where I retrieved the Scroll of Sealing, and eliminated the traitor, all before the Hokage made it to the area."
After Naruto revealed what happened, everyone began to lose faith in their Hokage, since if he couldn't even catch a simple chunin who was attempting to betray the village, then how was he supposed to protect the village as a whole. They then realized something, if Naruto, the one most of them treated horribly and called a demon, hadn't stopped Mizuki, then he would have gotten away. This lead to most of them changing their opinions about Naruto, since he could have taken the Scroll of Sealing after defeating Mizuki and the Hokage wouldn't have been able to stop him. However, there were the hardcore villagers who, despite what was revealed, still hated Naruto, all because they couldn't get over what happened in the past.
Minato was now wide-eyed and red-faced with shock, embarrassment, and anger at the fact that now everyone knew that he couldn't even stop a traitor of the village, who was a chunin of all people. Even now, he could hear everyone talking about how if he failed catching a traitor, then how could he possibly keep the village safe. He couldn't believe that these peasants were now doubting him, and his ability to protect the village! He was the strongest Hokage the village had ever seen since Hashirama! They shouldn't be doubting him; they should be worshiping him! Kneeling down before him, with tributes and women wanting him! Not doubting him!
"What's the matter, Minato?" Naruto began, getting everyone's attention on him again, where they all saw him standing up with his head down and pulling the bisento off his back with his right hand, "Upset that everyone now realizes just how weak you really are now? Or maybe frustrated that I revealed this knowledge when you didn't want everyone to know so that they could keep thinking you were still strong? Oh well, I don't care, I only revealed this information because I wanted these people to understand just how weak you are." Everyone watched as Naruto gripped the bisento with his right hand, before he twirled it around and got it in position to swing while getting in a stance. (A.N. The same stance Whitebeard gets into when he unleashes his Raw Power Tatsumaki) Everyone saw Naruto's arm tense up, his veins pulsing as he got ready to swing. Naruto then lifted his head, and showed everyone watching his glowing white eyes, and it was then that they all realized two things.
The first, was that Naruto wasn't even trying to take the fight seriously and had only been messing with Minato to prove a point. And the second, was that Naruto wasn't messing around anymore.
Everyone watched as Naruto got ready to swing and his eyes glowed brightly, but before he did, he said something that scared everyone witless, "I would suggest that everyone holds on to something unless you wish to be blown away!"
Naruto then swung the bisento towards the ground with his eyes glowing even brighter and his arm bulging even more while roaring out in effort, "RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" What followed after the swing was just pure chaos, as after Naruto swung, massive amounts of dust and wind began to pick up, all caused by a massive tornado that was created from the swing! The tornado kept growing and growing, getting stronger and the winds getting faster, until it was as wide as the entire arena floor! All of the shinobi were forced to use chakra to stick to the stands while holding onto as many civilians as possible, but they were still struggling against the massive tornado! Even Kushina and Naruko, who were using their chains to try and hold as many people as they could, were struggling against the strength and speed of the winds from the tornado!
"Mom!" shouted Naruko, getting Kushina's attention, as well as the rest of the group, "What's going on!?" She asked, terrified by what was going on and not knowing at the same time.
"I don't know!" Kushina said, truly not knowing how all this was happening, with the rest of the group not knowing either, except Hancock and the three other Kuja warriors, since one had seen this attack before, while the other three were told about the attack, but this was the first time they had actually seen it.
"Do not worry!" Hancock said, getting their attention, "This is just an attack from Naruto! This is an attack that his captain and father figure used in the past before he died! It doesn't have a name, but his crewmates and the victims who survived this attack all called it just what it is, the 'Raw Power Tatsumaki!'" Everyone was listening, and they were shocked that this was a move that Naruto's captain and father figure used in the past, they all then listened as Hancock went into deeper detail, "As the name suggests, the attack is just a massive tornado that is created by just a swing of raw power and strength!" The group was dumbfounded by this knowledge, since to create a tornado of this size and strength from just raw power and strength alone, required tremendous amounts of strength and control that shouldn't be humanly possible!
It was at this time winds began to finally die down, and everyone could now relax, and when they looked down the saw Naruto standing in the same place with the bisento in his right hand, eyes no longer glowing, not even phased by the tornado he had just created. They looked around and were shocked when they saw that the tornado had actually completely uprooted all the trees in the arena! Everyone also saw the where Minato was, was a giant toad that was a dull, rusty red color with brighter red markings around his eyes, chest and lips. It had a massive scar over its' left eye, while wearing a blue happi vest the kanji 蝦 (ebi) on the back while on the hip, was a massive dosu blade. This was the toad boss summon, Gamabunta, and he opened his mouth to reveal Minato, who was sporting several cuts, scratches and bruises all caused by the tornado, before he summoned Gamabunta.
Naruto looked over at Minato as he jumped out of Gamabunta's mouth and onto his head, while looking incredibly bewildered by the attack Naruto had just unleashed. Minato then looked at Naruto with wild eyes that held a look of insanity and fear that everyone caught, and shouted, "What did you do!? What was that jutsu!?"
Naruto calmly looked at Minato and said, "That wasn't a jutsu, and what I did was create a tornado just from my swing. I didn't even use my full strength with that swing." Everyone was stunned by this information, since they had thought he had used a jutsu, but to hear that it wasn't and that it was all caused by him just swinging his weapon terrified them, but to also hear that he caused this much damage and chaos not even using his full strength. They all began wondering just how strong he really is, and if he would forgive them for their stupidity and ignorance.
"What do you mean it wasn't a jutsu?! Answer me!" Minato shouted, already going insane from the show of power from Naruto and not accepting it. Gamabunta looked up at Minato with disappointment, he, along with the rest of the toad clan, all knew what Minato had done to his son and how Minato changed from how he once was, but they couldn't do anything since he hasn't broken any laws against the toad clan. And they were his summons, so that just added to how limited they were.
Naruto calmly placed the bisento back in its place on his back while still looking at Minato and said, "It's as I just said, it wasn't a jutsu. Think about it, I didn't mold any chakra, and there was no burst of chakra from me, so that just goes to show that it wasn't a jutsu." He continued to look up at Minato from his spot on top of Gamabunta for a little longer before turning towards Gamabunta, surprising the summon, bowed his head and said, "Hello Gamabunta-sama, I would like to apologize for any damage you may have suffered when being used as a shield against my attack by the fuckhead on your head."
Gamabunta was surprised that Naruto apologized to him for causing a few scratches, but he understood that Naruto only wanted Minato to be caught up in the attack. So for him to be there, being used as a shield, must've bothered Naruto a bit and he wanted to apologize for that. "It's fine, young one. And I have to admit, if I wasn't channeling chakra to my feet and to surround my body, I would have blown away and probably got off worse than just a couple scratches."
Naruto nodded his head and had a small smile and said, "That's good. Now, I would like to ask you two questions, if that is alright with you."
Gamabunta nodded his head, and said, "That is fine, what are your questions?"
Naruto was about to ask his first question, but was interrupted when Minato began shouting, "Gamabunta! What are you doing!? We're supposed to be fighting him, not talking!"
Everyone couldn't believe how Minato was acting over the fight not continuing and was being rude to not only his opponent, who just so happened to be his son, but also his own summon. All for talking instead of fighting!
Gamabunta looked at Minato with disappointment and frustration and yelled, "Would you calm down!? It's not like plotting to fight against you together! Besides, who are you to talk to me like that!? Need I remind you that I can just go back home and have your name erased from the toad summoning contract! Something that should have been done, the moment we all saw you treating your son over there horribly years ago!"
Everyone was shocked to hear that Minato had been mistreating Naruto, since they thought that their Hokage was supposed to be kind. But to hear that he wasn't, and had mistreated his own son when he was little. Everyone who had already begun losing faith in Minato, just lost the rest of it, since why would they want a Hokage who doesn't even treat his own child right! Everyone began shouting at Minato for being rude and a horrible parent, surprising not only Minato, but also Naruto, and Kushina's group as well, at how fast the villagers all realized their mistakes.
Naruto was wide-eyed and was looking around at the villagers in surprise that they were supporting him and not Minato. He couldn't believe this was happening, but he was okay with it, and understood that the villagers were all just angry at the time everything happened. In his head, he heard Kurami telling him that he finally got the recognition he had been searching for from the villagers, and that she was so proud of him.
Gamabunta then raised his hand, getting everyone to quiet down, and said, "Alright everyone, that is enough. I would like to hear young Naruto's questions now." Everyone agreed and stayed silent, getting Gamabunta to nod his head, before returning his attention towards Naruto and said, "You may continue with your questions now, gaki." While wearing a smirk on his face.
Naruto smirked right back at Gamabunta, then gained a sly grin and said, "Thanks for that Bunta-jiji." Getting the old toad to grumble about disrespectful brats, while Naruto just snickered, "Anyways, joking aside, the first question I wanted to ask, is why you and the rest of the toads are still allowing Minato to summon you guys?"
Gamabunta began rubbing his chin while looking deep in thought, before he opened his eyes and said, "Honestly, I don't know. For some reason, whenever we've thought about erasing his name from the summoning contract, we would suddenly think about something else and forget about erasing his name."
Gamabunta's answer confused everyone and got many raised eyebrows, mainly from Kushina, Naruko, and Naruto, meanwhile, Minato was sweating profusely and was beginning to look extremely nervous. Naruto moved closer to Gamabunta and said, "Bunta-jiji, I have a theory as to what may be wrong with you and your fellow toads, but to see if I am correct, I will need to put my hand on your body. Is that alright with you?"
Gamabunta nodded and said, "That's fine. You may be able to figure out what is wrong with me and my fellow toads. So, go ahead."
With that Naruto nodded and placed his right hand on Gamabunta's leg, and then closed his eyes. Everyone was confused as to what was going on and what Naruto was doing, until they all say a ring a seals form on Naruto's right bicep and begin rotating slowly while shining a royal blue color. Everyone was shocked by this and were wondering what was going on, then they saw a second ring begin shining and it was glowing an emerald color. It also began rotating but in the opposite direction of the first ring. Then Naruto removed his hand and opened his eyes while moving slightly away from Gamabunta, the rings still shining and rotating, "Well, it appears there is a seal on your tongue that connects to a seal at the base of your neck. Their function is connected, but from what I can tell, the seal on your tongue analyzes what you say and if what you said is deemed 'aggressive' against the one who placed it, then the seal on your neck, gives you a sudden random thought to focus on, while erasing what was just said. This is basically a 'less cruel' version of a loyalty seal."
Gamabunta was wide eyed at this information, along with everyone else, at something like being placed on a summons clan. Gamabunta then got angry and looked at a very nervous and panicking Minato while growling and gritting his teeth, and said, "Minato, you have a lot to pay for once this is over, and we get these seals off us."
Naruto returned Gamabunta's attention to himself and said, "I may be able to help with that Bunta-jiji." Gamabunta, Minato, and everyone else were shocked to hear this and began looking at Naruto in curiosity as Gamabunta asked, "How?"
Naruto then looked towards his right arm where the rings were still shining and rotating with a smile before looking back and saying, "Well, it involves these rings you, along with everyone here can see on my arm. The first ring is used to scan a person's body, if you will, and locate any seals on their body. The second ring analyzes the seals found, and 'tells' me their purpose."
Gamabunta confused and frustrated at this, "That's great and all, but how is that supposed to help me and my fellow toads?" he asked, feeling kinda impatient about wanting to get this seal off himself.
Naruto chuckled and said, "Calm down, Bunta-jiji. I've only explained what two of the rings do."
This got everyone's attention, "What do you mean by, 'only two rings?'" asked Gamabunta.
"Well, that is because there are three rings on my arm." Naruto revealed, and to prove a point, a third ring began to shine black and rotate in the same direction as the blue ring. Naruto then explained, "This ring allows me to either rewrite, or complete erase any seal I find on someone who wishes to have those seals removed or changed, and also lets me create seals as well, by sending 'ink' to my fingers where I can then write the seal that I want." After Naruto's explanation, everyone was completely amazed at Naruto's fuinjutsu level, as to be able to do something like this, required an extreme level of knowledge in fuinjutsu, as well as, the skill level to put that knowledge to use.
"So," Naruto began, breaking everyone out of their thoughts, while moving close to Gamabunta again, "Ready to have those seals removed?" Naruto asked, already knowing the answer.
Gamabunta nodded and said, "Yeah, so, have at it."
With that, Naruto nodded his head and placed his hand on Gamabunta's leg once more, before lightly clutching it, and closed his eyes. Everyone then saw his grip tightening a bit more on the summon's leg, while the ring began to spin faster and shine brighter until it looked like a solid black ring of energy. As this was going on, Minato took this as his chance to try and end the fight, and jumped off Gamabunta, gaining everyone's attention, and went straight towards Naruto. Everyone was shocked at this and began trying to warn Naruto about the imminent attack on his life, the shinobi tried to jump in to stop the attack and even though they knew they wouldn't make it, they at least had to try. Even Kushina and the rest of the group tried to jump in to help, however Minato had already made it to Naruto and was about to strike with the kunai he had in hand, until suddenly Naruto was gone.
Everyone looked around for Naruto until they all heard a whistling and looked to see Naruto was sitting on the handle of the dosu blade that was still in its sheath at Gamabunta's hip. He was sitting there calmly while lazily spinning the kunai he had just taken from Minato. "You know, it's very rude to interrupt someone when their working on something, especially when it involves helping someone else." Naruto said, before he then focused some energy into the kunai, making it gain a white bubble around it and then flicked the kunai at Minato's chest with such speed that Minato didn't have time to dodge and was struck right in the center of his chest. However, instead of being stabbed like everyone thought would happen, he was blown back as the kunai hit and the energy that was channeled in the kunai burst, completely destroying the kunai, while the energy caused the shockwave that launched Minato right into the wall, embedding him in it.
Everyone was stunned and confused by what just happened until Gamabunta decided to ask, "What was that? I thought all kunai enhanced with chakra cut, not cause shockwaves."
Naruto began chuckling before he said, "Well, that's true, but you see, I didn't channel chakra into the kunai. I channeled the power of my pop's devil fruit, which doesn't cut, or burn, like normal chakra or elemental would. My pop's devil fruit powers were said to be able to cause the end of the world."
Everyone was stunned to hear of such a power existing, but before they could think about it being possible, Naruto continued speaking, "Anyways, enough about that. We never got to my second question, Bunta-jiji."
Gamabunta thought about that, and realized that Naruto was right, and said, "You're right, gaki. What was your second question?"
"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to fight, and if so, would you want to fight against one of my own summons?" Naruto asked, getting everyone to double-take at the fact that he has a summons and yet no one even knew about it.
With Kushina and the group, they all wanted to know what kind of summons Naruto has, especially, since he never told them that he already signed a summoning contract and that kinda bothered them. The civilian council, except for Mebuki, already, were watering at the mouths at the possibility of putting the demon under their full control, but to also hear that he has a power capable of destroying the world and a summoning contract! They couldn't wait for him to lose, so that they could control him, and all his power.
Gamabunta thought about it, but then shook his head, "No, I don't think I will fight, since battles between summons can be rather destructive and expand to large areas."
All of the villagers and shinobi sighed in relief at that, since they really didn't want to risk being put in danger, just to see a fight. Naruto nodded his head, and said, "Yeah, I get what you mean. Besides, my summons all get extra destructive during fights and battles, so I think it's better this way." And with that Gamabunta nodded his head and dispelled after telling Naruto he will be taken to Mount Myoboku later, to help the rest of the toads with their seals.
It was now at this time, that Minato got himself out of the well, and looked as if he had completely lost it as his eyes were shrunken with insanity, his hair looked completely disheveled and he was bleed from several cuts around his body, legs, arm, and a cut above his left eye. Minato was holding one of his signature tri-pronged kunai, ready to throw it and attack Naruto, but before that he began shouting, "How am I losing to you!? Your nothing but a demon! You should be bowing before me!"
Everyone was hearing this and they were now able to see, just how crazy Minato really is, as Minato kept ranting about how Naruto should be bowing down and serving him. Naruto meanwhile, was now getting ready for the actual exchange of attacks against Minato. He sealed the bisento away and now standing with his left leg forward and his right leg back, knees bent. His left arm is parallel to his left leg and his right arm is at his waist, both with clenched fists. Minato appeared ready, but since he now looked insane, there was no way to tell if was ready.
Everyone understood that it was now time for the proper fight, and got ready for it to begin. Everything stood still for a second, and then piece of the wall broke off from the hole Minato made, and hit the floor, and then suddenly, Naruto and Minato were gone. They then reappeared tin the center of the arena and clashed their right forearms together. They kept pushing against each other, until Naruto reared his left arm back, and then everyone saw as a small bubble of energy surrounded his fist, before suddenly with a quick jab, Naruto shouted, "Severe Quake!" From this, a large shockwave was launched and directly hit Minato sending him back into the wall, where he landed horizontally on the wall.
He looked around for Naruto, but was then met with a powerful haymaker to the head, sending him crashing into the ground, where he created a large crater or 20 feet wide and 25 feet deep. Naruto landed on the ground and was about to charge towards Minato, but had to quickly dodge a sudden roundhouse to the head, courtesy of Minato who appeared in a flash. The two men kept exchanging attacks, with Naruto's having power and speed, while it was abundantly clear that Minato only ever focused on speed but not a lot on strength. As such, Minato was being riddled with large bruises by Naruto's attacks, whereas Naruto wasn't even receiving scratches as shown when Minato tried to cut Naruto's forearm, but instead all that happened was the kunai breaking.
The entire audience were on the edge of their seats as they watched the two warriors fight. One, calm and collected, while the other was being driven by his own insanity. The two kept exchanging attacks until they both broke off and jumped back, Minato showing that he made up for his current lack of an arm, by learning how to do single-handed hand signs and with a shout of, "Fūton: Daitoppa!" Minato launched a large blast of wind towards Naruto in hopes of knocking him off balance.
Naruto however, countered this by launching a straight right towards the blast of wind that carried such power, it launched its own blast of wind, canceling each other out. Everyone noticed that Naruto's right arm looked to be covered in a shiny, black substance before it disappeared, and Naruto's arm looked back to normal. Naruto then raised his hands in the air and gripped it with his thumb, index, and middle finger while bringing in his ring finger and pinky. Naruto then yanked his hands down and shouted, "Genesis rebirth!" After this, Minato as well as a small area around him, began to tilt, with the ground following as well, shocking everyone.
Minato was losing his balance and feeling crushed at the same time as the ground was being crushed into pieces, before he was suddenly blown back by a powerful shockwave after hearing a shout of, "Earth shaker impact!" Minato slammed into the wall, cratering the wall as well and coughed out a glob of blood, before he fell onto the floor. Minato began to weakly stand up, but was then launched into the air by a kick to the stomach from Naruto, making him cough out more blood. Everyone watched as Minato was sent into the air, before he began to stall and once he did, Naruto appeared above him and everyone instantly noticed the connected at his shoulders, were four massive, clawed arms that appeared to be made of orange energy. They all then noticed how right in front of him, was a sphere of matching energy that had yellow electricity surging around it, aimed right at Minato, who had wide-eyes, since he was facing up and could see the sphere was aimed directly at him.
Naruto then launched the sphere at Minato with a shout of, "Wrath cannon!" With that, Minato was hit by the attack and was being taken right into the ground, as the sphere continued to take him down to the ground. Once the two hit the ground, there was a large explosion, causing everyone to cover their eyes, so as to not get dust in them. Once the dust settled, everyone could see that the arena floor was completely destroyed, cracks were spread up all of the walls, and right in the center of it all, was a heavily injured, bleeding and unconscious Minato.
Everyone then watched as Naruto came crashing down, energy arms still active, onto his hands and feet like a cat with the energy arms looking ready to strike at any moment. He then stood up with the arms turning back into energy that entered back into Naruto as he untied his bandana. He then tied the bandana around his wrist and made his way towards where Minato was. Everyone watched as he looked at Minato with narrowed eyes, before reaching down, and placing his hand on his chest. Then from his hand, a series of seals came and began to cover Minato, until they stopped then shined blue. Once that happened, Naruto stood up, but was then surrounded by ANBU, who all had their weapons drawn with two of the ANBU holding swords to his neck.
"What's going on?" Naruto calmly asked, wanting to know why he was being held at sword point.
An ANBU that had a bear like mask asked, "What did you do to the Hokage?"
Naruto said, "All I did was put some seals on him, to keep him alive until he gets to the hospital." Getting shocked looks from everyone, even the ANBU, even though you couldn't see them. Naruto then added, "There are also some paralysis seals to keep him from moving once you get to the hospital, although I can take them all off if that's what you want."
The ANBU shouted, "NO!" Getting Naruto to look at him funny, making the ANBU realize his outburst and clear his throat, before saying, "No, we appreciate what you've done, despite having many reasons not to."
Naruto nodded his head in understanding, before he then thought of something, "What's gonna happen to him now?" He asked, getting the ANBU, after they all finally put their weapons away, to tilt their heads in confusion. Seeing this, Naruto decided to elaborate, "Well, I mean he can't possibly still be allowed to be Hokage after it being revealed how cruel he was. Or the fact that he's shown to have lost his mind now over the fight?"
The ANBU thought it over and said, "That is very true, and also, since you have won the fight, you've also won the bet set between the two of you. So that will have to be sorted, as well as, finding someone to be temporary Hokage."
Naruto thought about it for a second, before he came up with a possible idea, "I may have an idea for that, but I would like for a council meeting to take place before then so that I may suggest it."
The ANBU thought about it, and all agreed, "Alright, we will let you know once the meeting is together."
Naruto nodded and with that, all the ANBU dispersed while two took Minato to the hospital to be healed and placed under arrest once he is awake in order to make sure that he performs his side of the bet. The audience all began dispersing as well in order to go about their day, with Kushina and the group being the only ones to wait for Naruto.
Naruto finally walked out of the arena, and they all moved over to him and began to talk about all that's happened before heading home with Marguerite and Hancock grabbing both his arms and placing them between their breasts while laying their heads on his shoulders. The others were envious at seeing this, and wished they had thought of doing that first, but calmed themselves down, remembering that they still have time. As they walked, they asked how he was at such a level of sealing and he explained how Kurami was the one who taught after spending so much time sealed inside Kushina, she picked up her knowledge on seals and taught him. He even offered to place the same seal rings on her arm if she wanted, since he wanted to repay her, since he technically also learned from her, since it was her knowledge, just taught by someone else. Everyone was surprised to hear this, especially Kushina, but they quickly got over it, since today has been full of surprises, with Kushina agreeing to the offer. Naruto nodded his head, and said he would do so once they all got home, and with that they all began to walk to the Uzumaki compound talking about what will happen from now on, until Hancock decided to bring something up.
"Naruto-sama." Hancock said, stopping, getting everyone else to stop walking as well and see what she wanted to say.
Naruto answered, "Yes? What's wrong?"
Hancock shook her head, replying, "Nothing's wrong, but I wanted to ask, what were you and those other ninja talking about?"
This grabbed everyone else's attention as well where they all turned to him, with expecting looks. Naruto, seeing these looks, sighed before removing his arms from their grip, with the two of them wishing he hadn't and began scratching the back of his head, before answering, "We were just talking about what's going to happen now, since Minato was revealed to be a lunatic."
This caught everyone's attention with Tsume asking, "So, what's going to happen?"
"There will be a council meeting tomorrow, and I will be suggesting and idea I have that will last for now, until I go retrieve the next Hokage." Naruto replied, getting questioning looks from everyone.
"What's the idea, and who is it that you're going to choose to be Hokage?" asked Mikoto.
Naruto answered, "Well, the idea I have is that until I retrieve the new Hokage, the clan heads will take and divide up the work and basically act as a system to manage the village until the Hokage is installed." Everyone began thinking about the idea, and realized that such an idea was incredibly smart and could help manage the village perfectly, Naruto then continued, "As for the one I've chosen to be the next Hokage, it would none other, then my dear godmother, Tsunade Senju."
At this, the entire group went wide-eyed and thought he was joking, until they looked into his eyes, and saw that he was 100% serious in this decision. "B-But, she doesn't want to return to the village. She made that abundantly clear the last time I sent her a letter asking for her to return to help take care of Naruko." Kushina explained, remembering all the times she messaged Tsunade for her return, but was vehemently denied each time.
"Was during the time when you were still with Minato or after you divorced him?" Naruto asked, knowing that her answer could very well determine the issue.
"Both, but even when I told her I was no longer with Minato, she still refused to come help." Kushina replied, saddened that she wasn't able to convince Tsunade.
"Well, don't feel too discouraged." Naruto said, getting everyone to focus on him, "Remember, she lost her brother and lover during the war, and both had wished to be Hokage, so that might be a very big reason as to why she doesn't wish to return. She thinks there is nothing here for her, but it is going to be our job to show her that she does have something in Konoha."
Everyone was touched by what Naruto said, and agreed wholeheartedly with him. They all then began to continue their way to the Uzumaki compound when Hitomi asked, "Oh Naruto," she said, getting his attention, "What did you mean by, 'my summons get extra destructive,' and what exactly are your summons?"
At this, everyone wanted to know as well what the meant and what were his summons if they were so destructive. Naruto just began chuckling before he spoke, and his answer got everyone of them to become very excited and slightly fearful at the same time.
"What I meant is that they don't know the meaning of, 'holding back,' and as for what they are," Naruto then turned slightly with a grin and everyone could then see his normal blue eyes gained a slit in them like a reptiles and said, "Why, they're dragons, of course."
The group were thunderstruck at hearing what his summons were, but then they realized such a summons were perfect for Naruto, and all they could do, was pray to all his future enemies who experience these dragons' wrath.
Hey everyone!
Thank you so much for being patient with me. I know I haven't updated in a while but I hope this makes up for it.
