This is a Digimon and Naruto crossover fanfiction only, other characters and franchises may be included.
Naruto simply tells them that while Orochimaru's main problem is that he was never given the recognition and being made the next Hokage, the Hokage is not there for his own benefit he is there to protect and ensure the people he watches over are going to be able to live a good and happy life or at least have the opportunity to do so.
Naruto had to admit that Orochimaru deep down is a research genius, he simply could praise the man's extensive, impressive, and right life-saving research he has done or in this will do, but that in it is the problem, what Hokage would honestly want to name him the next Hokage, when doing that causes the village to lose that researcher.
As a Hokage he will have literally no time to do research, he will be swamped by problems and requests, meetings and paperwork to the point that at least to Naruto it amazes him that nobody ever noticed that there is an actual spare bedroom behind one of the bookshelves in the office because one Hokage had to build it because he was simply so tired that he couldn't make it back to his home.
Having Orochimaru become Hokage would harm the village in so many ways from research that was never done, and losing probably one of the best people the Hokage could ask to solve a problem from a new point of view, the job is dull, boring, and draining, but the only reason they do it is not because they are the strongest ninja, it is because they need to be the strongest ninja to endure it.
Tsunade began to laugh and told him that he is sort of preaching to the choir, that she is Hokage and she knows that, but that is when he tells her that the Sasuke that is listening doesn't. This is the way to get Orochimaru to realize that if he really wanted to achieve immortality becoming Hokage would have been something that would prevent him from doing that.
That is when she heard Sasuke laugh and asked him why was he laughing, still male Sasuke looked at her and couldn't help but to smile and tell her that the entire lecture is a bit ironic coming from the man who became Hokage, a Hokage who could make hundreds of shadow clones and yet he spent so little time with his family that his own children saw his picture more times than they got to spend time with him.
"Sasuke how many times are you going to rub that in? You did exactly the same thing with your own daughter, so get off your high horse." To which he simply replied with he will after he acknowledges that he messed up and he should have left shadow clones to take care of the office staff and he spend some time with his wife and kids.
"Alright, I admit it, I messed up, I should have done that, but I got wrapped up in the problems that endanger the village so fast I had little chance to react. Are you going to admit that you also messed up with how you didn't spend time with your daughter, you know, Sarada?" Sasuke told him that first off he never was asked for his consent in her conception, and worse he was never told he had a daughter, hell, had he known he probably would have returned to the village a lot sooner, but by the time he returned and found out about her, it was already too late.
"In my life, I got many regrets and chief among them is that I was blinded to everything else in my life due to my obsession with getting revenge on the one that killed my parents, and then only to find out that my brother wasn't the heartless monster I thought he was, but in fact, I never even got to fight him, he was dying from a rare chakra disease, and all his taunting was because he wanted to motivate me. I guess I got lost in the path of revenge, and it took a lot of suffering for me to find my way back to my home, but to only find out that I am the only one there."
He looked at Sasuke from this dimension and couldn't help but to try and smile, "You know now this and have heard of my mistakes, but here is one thing I found out until much later in my life, and this may shock you, Naruto the one you fought against in the valley of the end is your cousin, you were never alone, you had family around you but you simply didn't know it, the Uzumaki, Hyuuga are cousins of the Uchiha Clan, we are descendants of the sage of six paths and the Hyuuga are the descendants of his brother. So don't think you are alone, because you have family here if you choose to accept it."
He then walked over to Tsunade and put a hand on her shoulder, "And if you want someone to be proud of and who is your relative, Tsunade also happens to be your cousin. That is right the Senju are also descendants of the sage of six paths. " The Sasuke from the dimension they were in couldn't believe all this information but she knew somehow that it was true.
"The only main issue I have is that we can't go on like this because when someone says Sasuke, I am getting whiplash because sometimes I am thinking they are talking to me when in reality they are talking to another person who shares my same name, if Naruto was present that dobe would be having the same headaches as I am about this."
Well, that made at least one Sasuke breath a little easier it seems that this female version of himself calls Naruto by the same nickname. then that is when he decided to speak, "Then how about I call you Sayomi and I can retain my name as Sasuke since you are going to need a new name after all you are now a girl, so a more feminine name would make it easier to distinguish between the two of us."
As much as the person who was told this hated the very idea, she knew it would help move things along, so she accepted that at the very least in this conversation she would be referred to as Sayomi a change of name may be necessary later if her current gender situation could not be reversed.
As this was heard Tsunade told Sasuke that as she said before she would be given information in a scroll that could be destroyed by sending chakra through it, but after hearing their reasoning she realized that maybe they were right, and having Orochimaru return as an ally would be for the best. They both understood the dark truth of being Hokage, and they did their best to illustrate that fact.
"Sayomi Uchiha, you been told what this mission entails will you accept this mission for the good of the village?" Sayomi said that she will accept it and use the information and what she was told to reason with Orochimaru to stop his vendetta against the village and become their ally. Naruto told her that if he really wanted to achieve immortality, he could only tell him two words, White Zetsu.
Not a single person should understand what he meant by those two words but tragically some did. As the conversation was now over and they both knew they needed to follow the energy of Kurama before it was too faded to follow they both told Tsunade and Jiraiya to take care, but Naruto decided not to leave things as they were, instead he had picked up the blood of their Naruto from the clothes on the girl now called Sayomi and using that blood and creation of all things, he made a clone that was an exact replica of their Naruto.
"Before I go, I shall produce this clone, this clone has every technique and skill I have, and it is not a mere shadow clone, this clone is perfect, in a sense, it can withstand anything the original can, but tragically it will last only for almost three years, once this clone is no more, the original shall gain all the skills and everything this clone had improved and learned in that time, so I highly suggest that both he goes on a training trip with Jiraiya and I suggest that Jiraiya actually put some effort in his training, instead of doing more book research."
They both realized that this means the Naruto that spoke with them had not only mastered the shadow clone technique but improved it. They had to see how the clone of their Naruto uses the improved version of the Shadow Clones, it could be extremely helpful in more ways than one.
The two men walked out of the nearby window and simply walked down the wall towards the ground like it was nothing at all, which made Sayomi realize that her own ability to use the tree walking exercise could still be improved by a lot by the looks of it. They immediately opened a portal and went through following the energy of the Kurama from the universe they were just in.
As soon as they landed Naruto looked at Sasuke with a scowl, "First I want to know why did you lied to them? You know far too well that I used my shadow clones to do my office work and I did spend time with my wife and children, and I know that you and Sakura had that child, so why to lie about her birth, you knew she was born, in fact, you were insufferably proud of it. Care to tell me teme?"
Sasuke looked at him and simply said as casually as possible, "To prevent them from making the same mistakes we made in our lives, do you honestly want them to have the same crappy lives that we did? If I have to lie to prevent that, it is a small price to pay to at least have those two versions of us be happy, life is going to be hard enough with them being girls."
Naruto told him he understand and hoped that the ethical and moral lesson was taken by the person who turned out to be a female version of himself, "Aside from this we need to hurry, I am having trouble sensing Naruto from that dimension and that is causing me and Kurama to worry."
Sasuke mentioned that they shouldn't be that far from his current location, they used the chakra signature as a way to target their landing location, and his ten tails hissed in an angry tone as something nearby happened that disturbed the surrounding. They walked towards the damaged house and upon entering they met with a strange sight, a young girl, a female Naruto, and a rather humanoid-looking fox woman all on the ground practically hugging each other.
Naruto immediately went to work as Sasuke placed each of the two other girls on nearby sofas, Naruto began to take care of the injuries the now female version of himself which he might have found disturbing but he was doing his best to heal the injuries even managed to restore his injured arm.
A brief touch of the fur on the fox woman and Naruto knew exactly who this was, and more importantly what she was, not having much time he placed his hands on the ground and using the creation of all things decided to send his energy through it and began to modify a very important element in that world, that somehow they called Earth.
Naruto finished, "You will not believe it Sasuke but that fox woman you placed on the sofa is an actual Digimon, she is so different from what I remember in the games and anime in our previous life, as to what I did, it is simple, I changed the digital and this world so that when a Digimon dies it leaves a copy of their data, but the original will either become a new egg and return to their trainer or return to the nursery where that Digimon was first born. Sasuke understood why he really did that to prevent Digimon from being destroyed completely like the one they saw in the anime, Leomon.
"That may be true but I am wondering how long are those two ladies going to keep hiding, we could use a hand here you know. As to what happens, I think we are going to have to use the past viewing technique to know exactly how in the world the one we were looking for ended up like this. Never mind that we really could use some help to get familiar and establish a home in this world."
That is when two women tackled Naruto and he found himself being suffocated by ironically enough two pairs of breasts, Sasuke tried to pull them away but had no success until he remembered the substitution technique and one second when they noticed Naruto was not the one they were hugging they immediately tried to push Sasuke away to go after him but as soon as he did, Sasuke and a shadow clone of his try and hold one of the women and tried to keep them in place.
This is one case where Sasuke wished he actually had learned Anko's bondage techniques. He could have kept them restrained enough so that these two women can explain the situation, as soon as they stopped struggling, and Sasuke had to replace one clone after another because one of them was punching them so hard turned into dust.
"Alright we know two other women are hiding, but let's deal with this particular elephant in the room, who are you two and why were you trying to smother my friend here to death, last but not least please stop hiding I can see both of you, we are ninjas after all."
That is when an older woman and another woman came from behind a door that appears it looks like it leads to the kitchen since they both were holding a skillet and a frying pan. Sasuke told them yes he would love to have a nice home-cooked meal but that is something to discuss later.
The blonde woman decided to speak, "I am Minato Namikaze, and this is my wife Kushina Uzumaki, we were testing to see if this was our son Naruto, and we were so happy to be able to see him that we had this unbelievable urge to hug him, as for who you are, all I can say you must be an Uchiha, the eyes and hair color are a dead giveaway."
Sasuke clearly not wanting to hear any of this particular shit, so he simply asked Naruto to use the past viewing technique so they could see what the hell happened and hoped that this could explain several things, such as what happened, why is Naruto a girl, and who are these people, cause there was no way in hell this was Naruto's parents cause they know they are very much dead after the attack by the Kyuubi.
A long series of hand signs later and use of his chakra and immediately an image began to float in front of them, he stretched the corners of it to make the image large enough for everyone to see and the people inside the image began to move but backward, and as soon as the image showed the house was not damaged the image began to go forward, showing everything that happened.
Naruto came through the window severely injured and landed on the fox lady that was on one of the sofas now looking at this floating image, and her friend who was watching it out of boredom, as soon as the girl on the sofa screamed for help the older and adult lady who had been hiding in the kitchen came running in to try and stop the bleeding, but sadly almost as it could be worse, Kurama apparently used this chance to break free from the seal and somehow Naruto's long dead parents came out, which had the one called Minato try to fight the Biju and Kushina to try and help heal Naruto, but sadly Kurama took the chance to escape when Kushina mentioned that Naruto's body was changing which caused Minato to be unfocused due to worry for Naruto.
So this explains everything, the seal finally activated and Naruto from the dimension they had just traveled from became a girl, and the fact that she was still on the ground with her top clearly ripped apart and showing her naked breasts was something that Sasuke didn't want to see so he tried his best not to even look in her direction.
"So that is what happened, great, sorry ma'am, we didn't mean to intrude in your home and I am sure the still unconscious person didn't want to cause this much damage to it, but for now we need to put her on a bed and make sure there aren't any negative consequences or medical problems due to this transformation, do not worry, we are trained as field medics, he is Sasuke Uchiha and I am Naruto Uzumaki, but we are from a different dimension than the one we are going to have to give a medical checkup."
Two women said immediately that Rika had a spare futon in her room, they could place him on one of the beds and someone else can sleep on the futon. Sasuke was not in any mood to argue he simply picked up Naruto in what some would call a princess carry, and yes that was the female Naruto, and took her towards the bed that the kind elderly lady had suggested.
As soon as he told the others that they need to start their examination and no there is no need to worry about anything perverse happening, Sasuke promised the elderly woman he would put a stop to it immediately. "Not that it should be an issue, Naruto for crying out loud she is a female version of yourself, and from another point that is your sister you are looking at so please concentrate, we don't have much time for you to goof off."
As the examination occurred their greatest fear came to be true, there was only one bed, and one futon, which means one of these girls would have to sleep on the same bed as the injured Naruto to make sure to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't injure herself, as for the physical the transformation actually repaired all injuries, and sadly the seal on her back seemed to be of the permanent change variety since Jiraiya had handed Sasuke a copy of it to him and Kushina was quick to analyze it and confirm this with Sasuke.
So that is how the sleeping arrangement was made, the now female Naruto was sleeping soundly as a fox Digimon slept right near him. The two who looked like Naruto's parents decided to sleep on the two sofas, and the two men who were introduced were handed sleeping bags by the adult lady that had been hiding in the kitchen and apparently was the daughter of the nice elderly lady who owned the house they were in.
The very next morning, the mother and grandmother introduce themselves during breakfast, the mother introduced herself as Rumiko Nonaka and the kind elder lady was Rika's grandmother Seiko Hatan, they both were shocked and amazed to find that somehow all the damage to the home had been repaired little did they know that it was Naruto and Sasuke who sent shadow clones to actually repair the home while everyone was asleep.
The now female version of Naruto thought much like the Sasuke from her dimension that having two people of opposite genders with the same name would be as confusing as all hell, so she picked the name that most people called his form when he use the Sexy Jutsu, which was Naruko.
It was not that difficult for her to get used to that name and to make matters even better she had her mother and father, to which much to her own shock she came to find out that the guy pretending to be Minato was actually transforming to look like that, since that person was actually born female, something that first scared and worried when he started dating Kushina but much to his shock and delight Kushina actually treated him no different once she revealed the truth, and their marriage was all the better due to their honestly.
It was this that many times saved their marriage, and their willingness to at least understand how each other saw things, it was sometimes troubling but most of the time it was fun, which is why when Minato became Hokage he abused the living hell out of the shadow clones, leaving them to do most of his boring work and which is why during a heated argument they ended up with having their little bundle of joy who is now named Naruko.
To Kushina it was a dream come true, she had a daughter and a son, and their godson was actually friendly with them both, to which she was very happy till Sasuke told her that his parents were both killed, and it was done by someone who was forced by the old Warhawk Danzo.
It took three minutes after they finished eating breakfast for Kushina to finally work enough nerve to simply walk over to Sasuke and tell him that essentially Mikoto and she had been best friends since their days in the academy, and she had actually been made the godmother to both of her kids, Sasuke and Itachi. So if it was alright they will simply welcome them into the family, they are family already since they are cousins, but this Sasuke had a family and a home again.
For a moment Sasuke was quiet but it wasn't that he was angry or that he was thinking about it, it was instead that he was trying very hard to hold back his tears, having to live in that empty district and that house that constantly reminded him of his parents' murder was no place for anyone to feel happy least of all him. But here were Kushina and Minato welcoming him to their family and saying that they would treat him as such.
This made him wonder maybe if Kushina and Minato had not died during the night when the Kyuubi attacked the village, maybe he could have grown up with Naruto in a loving and caring home, how different would his life be if that was the case. Minato simply laughed and said silence is the same as acceptance so he hugged Sasuke and told him, "Welcome to the family Sasuke."
As the boys helped clean everything Naruto and Sasuke could not simply eat a meal at Seiko's home without trying to do something to show their gratitude and cleaning was the easiest and fastest way to do so. Minato was shocked at the prices of homes for sale, and Kushina wondered what could they do to earn a living, Naruto of course first mentioned why not publish the books his godfather Jiraiya wrote, he could probably remember everything that was on the books, he read them many times during his three-year training trip with him after all.
Sasuke looked at Minato, Kushina, and even her daughter, and asked them why don't try being models, to which Rumiko jumped at the chance to tell them that in fact, they could since she was the star model at a prestigious agency if Naruto used the Shadow clone and Sexy Jutsu she could probably pose as twins with her sister. That would earn them some money and maybe help Seiko with the costs of them living at her home.
Sasuke was thinking in a more practical sense and figured since he is a ninja might as well put the training to work rather than let others boss him to do their work, so he came up with the idea that maybe a little bounty hunting and tracking of escaped criminals was something he could do, as for the age, simple he could use the transformation technique and make himself his adult form, in his teen form no criminal would even think he was a danger, win-win.
