Bright side to life 9
Hey Guys, sorry I haven't been posting much, I have so much work recently and I haven't really gotten around to writing a lot so I apologize for that. Anyways, here is your next chapter.
Trial by Fire.
***In the Council room***
"Naruto Uzumaki, please come in." Tsunade says.
Seconds later the door opens and Naruto is met with the glares of the civilian council.
'Typical' he thought as he glared back. 'Maybe this will be over relatively quickly.'
"Do you know the reason you have been summoned?" Tsunade asks him. He slowly shakes his head no, then proceeds to speak.
"I do not know the reason for the Meeting, but judging by the glares of the Civvies, it's obviously not good." Naruto Says, looking behind him.
"Well I'm here to let you know what this meeting is for and to keep things orderly. Now what I want you to do is explain the final events of your trip with Jiriaya, and what happened to The Uchiha."
Naruto took a moment to compose himself before he spoke.
"It's quite simple, so don't expect any elaborate explanation. Me and Jiriaya were just outside the border of the land of fire. As we were walking I had heard Sasuke's Chidori but by the time I heard it, it was too late and Jiriaya was dead. When I saw him, the 9 tails took over. When I came to, he was dying and told me to take these." He says, flashing his Sharingan.
Gasps were heard from the Civilian council, as none of this was old news, However to the Clan Heads, this was old news.
Silence fell over the room as the civilians processed everything they just heard and seen. One council member spoke up.
"He just told us what we already know. Plus he doesn't even look sorry about killing Saus-"
"YOU WANT ME TO APOLOGIZE FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO CONTROL OVER?! SERIOUSLY, YOU ARE THE DENSEST HUMANS IVE EVER MET!"
"Naruto-San, please calm down." Mebuki Haruno says, looking a bit uneasy.
Naruto looks at the ground, clenching his fists, he opens his mouth to speak, but before he could one of the council members rang out.
"Go ahead demon, show us your true Colors."
No hesitation was taken and no one could react to what Naruto was going to do next.
"BANSHO TENIN!" He shouts, Left arm raised at the insubordinate and Rinnegan blazing, the guy was forcefully pulled towards Naruto who, when he got a hold of him, had him held up by the neck squeezing tighter every second, the man gasping for air.
"Attacking a council member is an act of treason, Uzumaki!" Danzo warns.
Naruto turns around to face the bandaged old hag.
"While that is true, He is not out of line. Do you forget that the thirds law is still in effect?" Inoichi says to the council member.
"Of course not, I'm merely stating that the consequences of his actions are quite severe." Danzo , glaring between the Uzumaki and the Yamanaka.
"ENOUGH! Naruto Uzumaki, release the civilian at once!" Tsunade shouts.
Naruto does as he is told and releases the civi. He deactivates his Rinnegan and looks back at the Hokage. "Now that everything is explained, Is there anything else you need me here for?" he says
, gritting his teeth.
"Yes, Actually there is. I'll let Danzo explain this though, since he proposed this…. Idea." Tsunade says.
Naruto looks at Danzo, annoyance clearly shown on his face. "So tell me Danzo, what is this idea of yours?"
"Uzumaki-San, The council and Hokage have come to the decision to enact the Clan Restoration Act on you, in order to make sure that the Uzumaki Clan Prevails. Basically what this does is allows you to have multiple spouses. In your case, at least 3 or 4 Wives. We want to be sure that the Rinnegan also exists in Konoha in more than 2 people." He explains. "Now before you shut down entirely, we also agreed to let you know the identity's of your parents. But only if you accept the proposal."
Naruto's eyes widened at the proposal. He was being forced to have a Family A . He'd always wanted a family. But with 3 different people? How does that even work?! On top of that, he would finally know who his parents were. Thought about this for a couple minutes before nodding.
"Not even Ino-Chan knows this, but I've always wanted a family. Living my whole life without one. And my parents, I never knew them. I've wanted to know who they are for so long… I'll accept the proposal, but only on the condition that no one is forced into this, other than me."
The elders nodded at him after a look between them showed agreement.
"Very well. Tsunade-Sama, tell him." Danzo says.
"Your Parents were Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage." Tsunade Blurted out, Hoping the reaction wasn't too bad.
Naruto fell to his knees. 'The Fourth Hokage is my Father' Tears started falling from his eyes. The Council heard this and Went into a worse shock than Naruto did. Some left the room to go curse themselves out for being so stupid.
He stayed like this for about 15 minutes, Tears still falling freely. He didn't know what to think. What to feel? He should be angry. No, He should be furious. Why did he feel so happy on the inside though? Was it because he was his Idol, his second favorite person in the village was his father?
Tsunade walked up to him after dismissing the council since they were no longer needed. Kneeling behind him, she put a hand on his shoulder.
" I wish I could have told you sooner, I wanted to tell you once you got back from your mission, but things got complicated here while you were gone."
"Its alright. I'm not mad at you. I'm just… Shocked." he says looking up at the Hokage.
Nothing more was said as Tsunade walked him out of the building. She hugged him and told him to go home and take a few days off. He would need them. Especially with the Akatsuki still hunting them.
Rumors were that they had 3 of the 9 beasts. The 3,4, and 5 tails were all captured. It was only a matter of time before the next engagement.
****AME****
"Pain? Can we talk?" a figure says, stepping into his office
"Of course, Konan. What is it?"
She played with the ring on her finger before she took it off.
"I'm Leaving the Akatsuki. Its clear that since you were 'replaced', that all of the others have sided with Kumoru and Madara."
Nagato lowered his head. Now none of his dreams, his sensei's dreams would be reality.
"All of them?"
"With the exception of Itachi." Konan says matter of factly.
"That's good." He says as he retires to his room for the night. He had a lot to think about tonight.
