" Huh, No one's here. Guess Obaa-chan and them are still out to lunch." Naruto said, " Hey Hinata-chan there was another reason I wanted to come here early."
" Oh, why Naruto-kun?" Hinata questioned
" To fix up Obaa-chan's office. It looks kind of boring to me." Naruto said
" I don't think that's a good idea Naruto-kun." She added, but then saw what Naruto was starting to put up, " Oh I see. Ok I'll help."
After they had finished putting the decorations up Naruto used a genjutsu to cover everything up so Tsunade wouldn't notice. It was right after that she walked into her office.
" Naruto, Hinata you're early." Tsunade said
" Yeah, we wanted fix your office up for everything." Naruto said smiling
" What did you do?" Tsunade asked eyeing him suspiciously
" Nothing." Naruto said smiling and Hinata giggled
" Alright I'll trust you. Everyone should be arriving in ten minutes so be good." Tsunade said
" Always am." Naruto added
" Yeah right, always in trouble you mean." Someone said outside the door
" More like saving you from it. Sasuke-teme." Naruto said as Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura walked in
" You figured out how to turn back." Sakura said
" Yeah, with a little help from Hinata-chan last night and no help from Obaa-chan or Ero-sennin. They knew the whole time and were so freaked they forgot to tell me, but this is just a Henge right now. Actually in my normal form I have fox ears and nine-tails." Naruto said
After a few more minutes everyone started arriving. Aoba and the Konohamaru Corps. were the first to arrive, followed by Asuma and the Ino, Shika, Cho group. Temari came in with them holding Shikamaru's arm, her brother's were behind her. Gai group came in next. When Neji walked in he felt something was off, but couldn't figure out what it was and though the Hokage was hiding some powerful object in the room. When Hinata's team came in Kurenai looked around the room and started to giggle. Naruto looked over at her and her eyes motioned upwards. Naruto just shrugged and she nodded.
" Thought for sure Neji would have activated his Byakuga, but it looks as only your sensei has seen through it." Naruto whispered to Hinata
Hinata giggled, " Well she is a skilled genjutsu user and you didn't put up a very powerful barrier." She added
" True, true." Naruto said
" Alright if everyone will quiet down. Naruto you and your new girlfriend have had enough time today give it a rest." Tsunade said this caused both to turn beet red
" Finally figured it out. After the Bikouchuu search we though you two would never get together." Kiba said and Akamaru barked in agreement
" KIBA-KUN." Hinata yelled
" Dopes, already rubbing off on her." Sasuke said
" You leave her alone Sasuke-teme." Naruto said angrily
" Alright enough testosterone. I'd really like to get started." Tsunade said
" First I'd like to welcome back Uchiha Sasuke who is now back to normal. We also have been able to remove the curse seal, though it wouldn't matter. Secondly I'd like to report the death of missing-nin's Orochimaru and Kabuto at the hands of Uzumaki Naruto." Tsunade started
" There is no way the dope was able to kill a Sannin and Jounin even with training from another Sannin." Kiba said
" You'd be surprised at how powerful Naruto really is Kiba. Not only could he take on Orochimaru, but also Jiraiya and myself at the same time and not have a problem." Tsunade said
With that comment most of the people in the room dropped their jaws.
" There is no way the loud-mouth can be that strong." Ino said
" He would be is there was another power added to his." Shikamaru said
" You know Shikamaru?" Naruto asked
" I don't know what the other power is, but I know there is another power on top of your own." Shikamaru explained
" Naruto you should go on and tell them." Kurenai said
" Right, well to explain as Shikamaru put it my 'other power' need you to remember the tale we were told in the academy about the Kyubi." Naruto said
" You mean how the Yondaime kill the Kyubi using a forbidden jutsu. Yeah, we all know the story leader. But why do you bring it up?" Konohamaru questioned
" What if the story wasn't the complete truth, but a half truth to protect certain people." Neji added
" Neji-ni-san do you know Naruto-kun's secret?" Hinata asked
" Yes, Hiashi-sama told me the other day. Naruto, I'm truly sorry for what I said during our first Chuunin Exams, but I'm sure everyone will understand. You and your father are heroes for what you have done for this village." Neji said
" AH, THE POWER OF YOUTH." Gai added
" Will someone tell me what's going on and what's with Naruto's new look." Kankurou said angrily, but was elbowed by Gaara who just shook his head
" What new look? He looks the same to me?" Lee asked
"Naruto-kun is it ok if I continue." Hinata asked him, Naruto just nodded and took a seat
" Kyubi was the Nine-tailed demon lord summoned to our realm by none other than Orochimaru to try to eliminate Akatsuki, but Kyubi refused to do so. Orochimaru then decided to use a genjutsu on him and have him attack, but the genjutsu didn't allow him to have control over Kyubi. Kyubi was already in the direction of Konoha and just let him go to work. If he couldn't get rid of one enemy, get rid of another. The Yondaime decided that Kyubi was too strong to kill so he used the Fuuin Jutsu and sealed him, but because of Kyubi's power he had to have a host for the Kyubi. The Yondaime used his newborn baby son because his chakra coils wouldn't of been developed yet. With the jutsu done the boy was now without parents." Hinata explained, after she finished everyone was silent from shock
" Ok, that's a version of the story we never heard, but what does that have to do with Naruto?" Kiba asked
"Kiba who out of the group doesn't have parents, birth date is on the day of the Kyubi attack, and almost looks like a clone of the Yondaime?" Shikamaru asked
" I don't know half of your birthdays and I don't know about your home life either." Kiba said
" Kiba its Naruto." Shino now spoke
" WHAT! Very funny Shino" Kiba yelled, " The dope is the Yondaime's son and vessel of the Kyubi. Yeah Right."
" ArArrar" Akamaru barked
" What do you mean he smells like a kitsune now?" Kiba asked his partner
" Why do you think Akatsuki were after me and Gaara for so long. It sure wasn't for our good looks." Naruto said smiling
" Ararr" Akamaru growled
" I don't know I guess that could explain why." Kiba said
" Let me butt in here. Yes, Naruto is the son of the Yondaime and yes, he was the vessel for the Kyubi…" Tsunade started
" You said 'was' does that mean he's dead now?" Tenten questioned
" Naruto remove it." Tsunade said,
Naruto nodded and removed the Henge covering his hanyou form. Everyone gasped at the Naruto that stood in front of them. He looked like the same Naruto they had seen two weeks earlier, but now he had two black fox ears on his head, nine fox tails behind him, and his eye were now silted, but were still blue.
" This happened because of the fight Naruto had with Orochimaru and Kabuto. Him and Kyubi merged and were able to kill the two. Kyubi though didn't tell him the extent of the jutsu and it had turned him into the Kyubi himself. We have found out the Kyubi was one of Nine Demon Lords, who watch over our realm and keep it safe when demon from theirs comes here. With the merger Naruto is now the new nine-tails demon lord, which also make him the most powerful out of all of them. He is also in charge of a certain group of demons and surprisingly he's in charge of most of Konoha's summons." Tsunade explained, still there was silence
God silence I can't take it. It means they're either still trying to absorb all the information or are scared to death of me right now and haven't been able to regain their senses yet. Naruto thought,
Hinata also feeling uncomfortable notice Naruto's body language and came over and placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her and smiled and then placed his hand on top of her. Tsunade would of 'awed' if it hadn't of been for how important the information that had just been given was.
" Alright already. I can't take it any longer. I understand if any of you don't want to be my friends anymore because of the whole Kyubi thing. I won't hold it against you, but will someone please say something." Naruto said
" Why wouldn't we be friends with you anymore leader?" Moeji asked
" Yeah, it not like it was you who attacked Konoha and it really wasn't Kyubi fault either. It was this Orochimaru person you've talked about leader." Udon added
" Yeah" everyone else in the room said
" It's great you all think that now if Obaa-chan could just explain it to the rest of the village so they understand that it wasn't either of us at fault. But that will probably be a cold day in hell when that happen." Naruto said
" Oh I have my ways brat and if you're going to be my successor they'll have to accept you." Tsunade said
" Naruto is that why you had the Henge on earlier?" Temari asked
" Yeah, so the villagers and other ninjas won't freak out and try to attack me. Though they'd have a hard time landing a hit on me now." Naruto said
" YOSH, NOW THAT YOU HAVE SET THE CHALLENGE. I ROCK LEE WILL ACCEPT IT." Lee said
He came rushing a Naruto in full speed, but when his arm was about to hit Naruto him and Hinata were gone. All that was seen was a golden streak.
" Geeze, I'm glad Ero-sennin taught me that Body Flicker Jutsu of dad's. Lee will you knock it off you almost hit Hinata and it's too cramped in here to fight properly." Naruto said
" YES YOU ARE RIGHT NARUTO. WHEN I SEE YOU TRAINING NEXT TIME WE WILL RESUME THIS." Lee said
" Ok, whatever. Now that that's all done I think it's time to PARTY." Naruto said
" TO WHAT?" Tsunade screamed
Naruto grinned at her question and snapped his finger and released the genjutsu that he had put up. The whole office was decorated in blue, purples, and reds. There were Uchiha fans and paper snake that looked like Manda everywhere. In the far left corner was a piñata that looked like a chibi-version of Orochimaru. The topping to the whole décor though, was the sign that hung above Tsunade's desk that read WELCOME BACK SASUKE-TEME!
" So this is what you were up to when I came in. You must of just finished it." Tsunade said
" Yeah, thought the bastard needed a proper welcome home party. Of course Hinata helped too. I wouldn't have gotten it done on time." Naruto said
It was then he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around from talking to Tsunade and saw it belonged to Sasuke.
" Thanks dope." Sasuke said grinning
" No problem and is that a smile I see?" Naruto questioned
" Got a problem with that." Sasuke said and Naruto smirked evilly
" EVERYONE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN KONOHA' S HISTORY THAT SASUKE-TEME HAD SMILE UNDER NON-VIOLENT CIRCUMSTANCES." Naruto announced loudly, this also caused him to be punched across the room by Sakura
" That's what you get for embarrassing Sasuke-kun." Sakura said
" Gomen." Hinata said bowed and went over to check on boyfriend
" He was only joking around Sakura. You didn't have to hit him." Sasuke said, Sakura just blushed
The party continued with food and people talking and getting to know what had happened the years Naruto and Sasuke were gone from Konoha. Though the cursed seal caused Sasuke to forget a lot of things that happened he did remember Orochimaru had taught him to summon Manda, other than that he only remembered his first battle with Naruto and the recent battle, were he was knocked-out. When Sasuke mentioned Manda that reminded Naruto of what Gamakichi had told him the other day.
" Hey Sasuke that reminds me you now the new summoner for that pissed off snake." Naruto said
" What!" Sasuke said
" Yeah, the other day I talked to one of Gamabunta's kids and he said with Orochimaru dead you're the next person in line to be able to summon Manda." Naruto explained, " Just don't turn into Orochimaru and don't go letting him lose on innocent villages any where and we'll be fine."
" Yeah, but I can use him to fight my brother." Sasuke said
" You really want to do that? I thought you'd like to kill him yourself and make sure he can't hurt anyone else anymore." Naruto asked
" Yeah, I guess your right. It's just good to know incase I do need him." Sasuke said
" I understand, but you won't do it alone. I'm going with you." Naruto said
" And me too. With three Konoha ninja's with the strength of three Sannin's there's no way he'll live." Sakura said
" Actually it's more like six Sannin. With the power Naruto has now Itachi would be dead were he stands." Kakashi said
The party finally started to die down until all that's left now was Neji, Hinata, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Suna siblings.
" Well everyone's pretty much left. I think it's time the rest of us head out." Sakura said
" Yes, I think you're right. Hinata-sama let us go." Neji said and started to walk out the door
" Hai." Hinata said, but before she left kissed Naruto, " I'm glad everyone understood and accepted you. I told you it's what in your heart that counts."
With that Hinata left, leaving a stunned Naruto in the Hokage's office.
" Look it's the first time the dope is speechless." Sasuke said getting him back for earlier
" Shut up Sasuke-teme." Naruto finally was able to say
" Well let's go everyone." Tsunade said and everyone filed out of her office
On the way back to Tsunade's house Naruto finally remembered the key Hinata had given to him earlier that morning for his dad's estate.
" Hey Obaa-chan. Can you take me the estate tomorrow?" Naruto asked
" Sure I don't know of anything happening, so be in my office at nine. Ok." Tsunade said as they all walked in her house
Everyone headed to their room and fell asleep. Naruto slept the best knowing all his friends had accepted him for himself and not something he had been labeled and had no control over.
Gomen – Sorry
Hanyou – Half human Half Demon
