All of Naruto's friends and their families had come to the party. It was ten till five and Naruto decided to get everything going. First he had to figure out who everyone was. Of course Hiashi was there with Hanabi and Tenten was following Neji. Iruka-sensei had shown up accompanying Shizune. Kurenai, Asuma, and Konohamaru Corps had all arrived together. Kakashi who was ignoring Gai's incessant challenges of a fight was following Lee and Gai. Next came the Ino, Shik, Cho group: Ino and her father Inoichi, Shikamaru and his father Shikaku, and Choji with his father Chouze. Aoba came in with Teuchi and Ayame from the Ramen stand and the last to show up were Shino and his dad Gen and Kiba with Akamaru and his mom Tsume with Kuromaru and his sister. The people who had helped him with getting the food ready had started bring it out and placing it on the table Naruto had set up earlier.
" I'd like to thank everyone for coming." Naruto announced
This drew everyone's attention to their host. The parents who hadn't been able to get a good look at Naruto earlier were shocked to see how much he looked like Arashi with his coat on.
" I know most of you have never been here, but I'd like you to enjoy your visit." Naruto continued, " I've set up the guest rooms, so if any of you want to stay the night you're more than welcome to. Also I'll allow anyone who would like to go up and look at the Saigen Library too."
" It's been so long since I've been here." Hiashi said
" I know what you mean." Shikaku added coming towards his friend
" Naruto this is all nice and everything, but what's up with no decorations or anything?" Kiba asked
" Who said I didn't decorate?" Naruto asked his friend and snapped his fingers
The Genjutsu Naruto had had up was removed and everyone saw what Naruto had been doing the whole day. The road to the gate was lined with lanterns all having the Uzumaki emblem on them. There were benched decorated in red, orange, and yellow. Further down Naruto had gotten another piñata, but this time it looked like scroll. The big surprises were left unseen though.
" Cool!" Hanabi said and ran over to the piñata with the Konohamaru corps.
Naruto laughed and followed them over. He then remembered everyone else and turned back around
" Have fun and enjoy the food." Naruto said and then moved towards the kids
" So much like his father, always wanting to play around if not on a mission." Inoichi said
" Yeah." Chouze added
" Well I for one want to visit the library again, so unless you guy want to go with me I'll see you in a little bit." Shikaku said and went into the main house
" Figures, that's were he'd go first." Inoichi smiled and Chouze nodded in agreement
Gen and Tsume decided to have a look around the gardens to see what they looked like. The two were amazed at the size of the gardens. Gen was even able to find some bug in it he had never see in Konoha before and gathered them for him and his son. Tsume and Kuromaru had found the Inari Shine and found it unusual it was at the Saigen compound.
" That's strange." Kuromaru said
" I know we'll have to ask the Kit later about it." Tsume said and Kuromaru nodded in agreement
Back in front of the house the kids had finally opened up the scroll piñata and gotten all the goodies that were inside it. It had now been a couple of hours and Naruto decided it was time for him to entertain the guests.
" If I can have everyone's attention." The entire group gathered around Naruto, " If you'll will follow me to the outside dojo I have set up a spar between myself and a friends for your enjoyment."
" YOSH IT IS TIME I TEST MY SKILL WITH THE NEW NARUTO." Lee yelled excitedly
" Actually, I promised these two a while back so you'll have to wait Lee." Naruto said hearing his comment
" These two?" Ino questioned
" You'll see when we get there." Naruto told the girl
As everyone followed Naruto they saw someone was already out by the dojo waiting for them. As they got closer some couldn't believe who it was others were just shocked.
" GAARA, YOU'RE GOING TO SPAR WITH SUBAKU NO GAARA?" Kiba screamed
" Yeah, I promised him after the Akatsuki incident we'd spar. I though this would be a good time to try the dojo out." Naruto said smiling
Everyone else was shocked. They remembered the last time they had see Gaara fight he had injured Lee, but that was before he became friends with Naruto and the others. Most knew he wouldn't kill them, but some still had their doubts. As Naruto's guest took their seats Naruto went to the other corner and removed his father's coat and placed it on a rock. The dojo looked like a miniature version of the arena used during the Chuunin exams, but the seats were at ground level and not high up.
" Ero-sennin get you butt over here and referee for us." Naruto said
" Oh no, I'm not doing any such thing." Jiraiya said refusing
" I'll do it." Iruka said and moved to outside of the dojo
" Right, rules Gaara?" Naruto asked
" None." Gaara stated and smirked
" Gaara we got to have rules." Naruto said knowing Gaara and Shukaku wanted to started fighting
" Alright no killing the other." Gaara said
" That's a given and stop playing around. I know you and Shukaku want to start, but we have to set the ground rules." Naruto said smiling
" Oh alright, first one to step outside the dojo loses. No using the audience as a distraction or weapon and no summoning. I don't want that stupid frog here again." Gaara said
" Ok, I won't summon Gamabunta. At least for now and you can summon Shukaku I know he wants out. Also I can fix it so the audience or the ref don't get hurt is that alright?" Naruto asked
" Yes that'll probably be good." Gaara said
With that Naruto raised the shield he had used during his fight with Orochimaru and Kabuto to protect everyone else around them.
" The shield stops five feet out of the dojo, so we'll know if anyone gets out." Naruto said
" Right." Gaara said they both nodded to Iruka
" Alright you two ready. GO!" Iruka said
With that the two were gone. Everyone could here the connection of fist and kicks, but most couldn't see what was happening.
" What's going on I can't see them?" Ino said
" They're moving too fast for us to see them with our eyes, this is too Mendokuse." Shikamaru told his teammate
The Hyuuga's, Kakashi, and Sasuke had activated their Kekkei Genkai to see the two, but even then they were having problem keeping up. Then there was silence.
" Is it over already?" Sakura asked Sasuke
" No they were just warming up.' Sasuke said
" THEY WERE WHAT?" Temari asked, " This is unbelievable
" Naruto-kun no one can see the fight." Hinata said
" Oh, sorry we didn't know. We'll slow down. Gaara?" Naruto said
" Yeah?" Gaara responded
" How about we take it down to Ninjutsu's and Genjutsu's only. Since they're having a time keeping up with us using Taijutsu's." Naruto asked
" Sound good, but why don't we just finish this fast." Gaara asked
" I like that." Naruto said
" Oh dear here he goes." Jiraiya said
" What's he going to do now?" Tsunade asked the man beside of him
" I don't know but I'd hold onto something if I were you." Jiraiya said gripping onto the post near him
With that Gaara and Naruto raised the chakra levels to the max. They were going to do this hard and fast so everyone watched with unblinking eyes.
" Let's get this party started Tanuki!" Naruto said
Gaara just stood there waiting for the first attack.
" KITSUNE HONOO" Naruto said as his chakra extended from him and grabbed onto Gaara, but Gaara sand shield held and was able to protect them from the fire's heat.
" Shukaku Tsume" Gaara said as the sand turned into Shukaku's claws and came towards Naruto trying to tear him to shreds. Naruto just dodged all the attacks; if any did hit him the wounds were healed in seconds. Naruto didn't even have time to react when even more sand came near him.
" Sabaku no Kyuu" Gaara said as every gasped as the sand came up and surrounded Naruto before the sand closed up everyone could see Naruto trying to get his way out of the jutsu " Sabaku no Tsubushite" As the sand started to close in on the boy
" Gaara this isn't funny anymore." Naruto said
" Who said I was playing around?" Gaara said calmly
" Alright if that's they way you want to play." Naruto said from inside his prison
" KYUBI NO HI" Naruto yelled
No one could tell what was going on but they could tell whatever Naruto was doing was causing him to concentrate more that usual. The group then noticed the sand seemed to be getting clearer and they could see inside of it.
" He's turning it into glass." Kakashi said amazed
" Yes, but to do that requires an intense heat to be produced." Shikaku said
It was them the group finally saw Naruto, but he had changed into his Kyubi form.
" That's how he's doing it. He's using Kyubi power to increase the heat of the chakra." Asuma said
They all watched as Naruto moved inside his prison having more and more of the sand turn into glass and then it started to melt, when this happened the audience started to feel the intense heat Naruto had been creating inside the prison.
" Well now I know how to get rid of that." Naruto said, " Why don't you bring him out?"
" If you insist." Gaara said and went through a number of hand seals
The sand in the barrier started to gather in one area beside of Gaara and turn into a giant ball.
" He isn't." Sasuke said
" Sasuke-kun is that what I think it is?" Sakura asked now wide-eyed
" Bros calling on Shukaku." Kankurou said
" HE'S DOING WHAT?" Tsunade said
With that the ball started to take form and now standing beside Gaara was a horse sized Shukaku.
" Ready?" Gaara asked him
" Been waiting for this for 5 minutes now." Shukaku told him
" Hey while I'm young." Naruto said
Shukaku raced forward spitting out chakra ball from his mouth. Naruto dodged them sent fire ball towards Shukaku. They continued to dodge and throw for a number of minutes till Naruto became tired of this.
" That's it I'm finishing this now!" Naruto said
" kitsune no kekkon" Naruto yelled
With that his tails spread out and a flame was at the end of each one. The flames them went flying up in the air and started raining down on Gaara and the Shukaku this continued for several minutes till Naruto was sure the jutsu had done the job. Once the sand and dust settled Gaara had been knocked out of the ring along with the Shukaku who had been protecting his vessel from the fireball. It took Iruka a minute to compose himself and remember what he was doing.
" Winner Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka said
Naruto removed the barrier and walked over to his friends.
" Shukaku, Gaara are you alright?" Naruto asked
" Jeeze Kit, you trying to kill the cub or what?" Shukaku asked
Naruto started laughing nervously while scratching the back of his head. Everyone in the audience was amazed at what the two boys just did.
" GAARA!" Temari and Kankurou yelled as they headed over to their brother who was still on the ground
" I'm fine just a little dirty." Gaara said reassuring them, " Shukaku protected me from the worst of it."
" Yeah, you better be glad I did. Kit you still need to work on your chakra control. It's still a little flimsy." Shukaku said and then the sand retuned to the ground
" Leader that was awesome!" Konohamaru said
" Yeah nii-san that was cool. Will you teach me that one?" Hanabi asked
" Sorry Hanabi, but it's a Demonic Jutsu only I can know it." Naruto said rubbing Hanabi's hair
" Naruto-nii-san is mean." Hanabi said pouting, Naruto just laughed at her
Itazura came running towards his lord
" Lord Naruto, Lord Naruto that was amazing!" the fox yelled
" Alright Itazura I know. Now calm down." Naruto said to the kit that was bouncing up and down on his head
" Naruto who's' that?" Kiba questioned
" That's Itazura he's my second in command Gatsukoosen's son." Naruto told Kiba
" Hi you want to play?" Akamaru asked the kit
" Sure I'm Itazura what's your name?" The fox asked
" I'm Akamaru." The dog said
" Lord is it alright?' Itazura asked
" Yeah, but now I'm confused?" Naruto said to Kiba and Tsume after Akamaru and Itazura ran off
" Why are you confused Kit?" Tsume asked
" I could understand Akamaru just now. I haven't been able to in the past." Naruto said
" Akamaru's at the age that he'll be able to speak soon. For you who are of both realms now it would be likely you'd hear him talk sooner than others." Tsume explained
" Oh, thank you Tsume." Naruto said
" Now I have a question for you kit." Tsume said and everyone was now talking about the fight, but some others were listening too Naruto and Tsume's conversation, " Why is there an Inari shrine on the grounds here?"
" Oh that, Itazura said the Saigen's once had a contract with kitsune's and the shrine is like a way to communicate with the demon realm. Dad was trying to make a new contract before he died, but never got to finish it." Naruto explained
" Then why don't you finish it?" Gen came up from behind him, " I'm sure it'd make your father happy if you did."
" I think I'll do that sir. Thank you." Naruto said, Gen just nodded and moved back towards his son
" Well now that that's done I think I have an announcement to make also." Tsunade said smiling
The all the adults along with Hinata were also wearing the same smile. The rest of the group was as much in the dark as Naruto was right now.
" Naruto I have to take your dad's coat from you." Tsunade said seriously
" WHAT YOU CAN'T DO THAT IT'S MINE! IT'S WAS DAD'S AND NOW IT BELONGS TO ME!" Naruto yelled at Tsunade
" But you can't wear it anymore." Tsunade said taking the coat off the rock Naruto left it on and placing it in a bag, " Hinata."
Hinata then came forward with a package wrapped in brown paper and handed it to Naruto
" Open it Naruto-kun." Hinata told him
Naruto started to open the bag, but only saw white. Perplexed he opened it more and was finally able to get the object out of the bag. Holding the object up Naruto could tell it was a coat just like his father's, but this one was different. It still had the flames at the bottom of it, but on the upper part of each sleeve was a scroll looking Kyubi. When Naruto turned to look at the back he noticed that instead of the Kanji for Yondaime the Kanji now had Rokudaime on the back. Naruto just stood looking at the back, Tsunade was having the time of her life see her little brother's reaction to his present.
" Do you understand Gaki?" Jiraiya said smiling
Naruto looked over at the man he had travel with the last couple of years with and then he shook his head
" BAKA!" Jiraiya yelled
" Jiraiya-sama he's in shock." Kurenai said to the man
" Is this mine?" Naruto asked now looking at Tsunade
" Well I'm sure not going to be able to wear it, I'm the Godaime what use is it to me." Tsunade said still smiling waiting for her little brother to understand
" Naruto don't you get it?" Kakashi said
" But I can't, I'm not ready. I mean…" Naruto started
" Naruto not now in a couple more years. You have to learn some more things, but by that time all the villagers will have surely accepted you." Tsunade said
Naruto placed the coat on and just looked at it still in shock at what he had just been told.
" Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked afraid her boyfriend would break down again
Naruto smiled at her and was gone in a streak of gold. Next thing Hinata knew a very, very happy Naruto was flinging her up in the air.
" I'm going to be the next Hokage!" Naruto said catching Hinata and them kissing her in front of all the guests.
Jiraiya found this an opportune time to start taking notes for his next book, but notice once he was done with each page they'd disappear. He then looked over and saw Naruto's hand holding his perverted notes.
" GAKI GIVE THOSE TO ME NOW. THEY ARE RIGHTFULLY MINE!" Jiraiya yelled
Naruto now releasing Hinata scowled at his sensei
" Not in a million years Ero-sennin are you going to get these notes back. I'm not having any of your book have any hints of Hinata-chan in them what so ever." Naruto said running from his sensei
Jiraiya was finally stopped when Tsunade had had enough and knocked the man out again.
" Now why you do that Obaa-chan. He's going to have to spent the night here now." Naruto wined
" You'll just have to deal with it." Tsunade said
" Lord Naruto, Lord Naruto." Itazura came running with Akamaru behind him
" What is it?' Naruto asked
" Can we bring them to life now?" Itazura asked
" Bring what to life?" Sakura asked
" You'll see. Stay right here." Naruto said and walked off with Itazura on his heels
