Chapter 39:
The night after Koyuki agreed to Naruto's plans and he accepted her as his future wife, was probably the best night in Naruto's life, even topping the one when he fucked Taya and Tayuya. Why? Because that night he ended up fucking Koyuki and Serafall, but on top of those two, Juvia and Suzumebachi joined in as they didn't want to be left out any longer.
Even Naruto with his infinite stamina was actually feeling a little sore in the morning after that night, but he will never regret it. Why would he? He is the luckiest bastard in the world.
Of course, if Naruto was feeling sore, the four girls were ruined for any other man for the rest of eternity.
The next morning, Koyuki was barely able to wake up and be there to escort Gaara and his siblings, along with Tazuna and his daughter and grandson. The two groups were going back to their own countries, Gaara to continue to do his job as a Kazekage, while Tazuna to inform the citizens of the Wave Country of what happened, and to start packing for the move to the new Whirlpool.
Naruto, Juvia and Suzumebachi stayed a few more days, and were there on the day that Koyuki told the citizens of her country that she has found a person to marry and that one day, very soon, she will be getting married. She also informed them of the new Whirlpool which will be a part of the alliance, and to keep it a secret of their existence for now. In the end she informed them that the people of Wave will be moving to the new Whirlpool, but if someone was to ask, they are there in the Land of Springs.
Every male, female and child cheered for Koyuki and her future husband. They were all happy for Koyuki, and even though they didn't know yet who the husband will be, they know that if Koyuki chose him, he must be a very nice person, and someone powerful who will be able to protect them in case the war come to their country.
After the announcement, the citizens threw a party in the capitol. They wanted to celebrate, so they did. Koyuki also wanted to celebrate, so for the next three days, no one saw her and Serafall, who have shut themselves into Koyuki's room with Naruto, Juvia and Suzumebachi, and have had sex for the entire duration of those three days, only stopping to eat and sleep… occasionally go to the bathroom as well.
On the day of the announcement of the marriage, Naruto met Serafall's sister, Sona. He thought that the 18-year-old girl was very beautiful and cute, but a little stuck-up. He thought about getting rid of that stick she seemingly has up her ass, by shoving up something else, but in the end, decided to just leave her be. He doesn't have to have every beautiful girl he runs into for himself, and can leave some for other guys… or girls.
The holyday in the Land of Springs for Naruto, Juvia and Suzumebachi ended up lasting for about a week, before they decided it was time to return to the new Whirlpools, and see how the things are there, and to make preparations for the arrival of people from the Land of Wave's. Since there is no way to move all those people on foot, without anyone seeing them and becoming curious, Naruto and few of his girls would transport them all by using Garganta. That way, they will be able to cross from one place to the other in mere seconds, and no one will see them. (I actually don't know if regular people can travel through Garganta, but for this story, lets say that they can).
Before they left though, Naruto decided to leave Suzumebachi in the Land of Springs to watch over Koyuki. She was ok with that, and even though Koyuki considered it unnecessary, she accepted, as she can now have threesomes with two girls every day.

Naruto has been back in the New Whirlpool for two days now.
As soon as he came from the Spring, he summoned a meeting with his most important follower, those being his blood clone, Szayelaporro, as well as all the other hybrids he turned, except Saeko, Suzumebachi and Sasame, as they were on assignments and they can't leave.
At the meeting, he informed them all of what happened in the Land of Springs, and that the citizens of the Wave Country will be moving to the New Whirlpool in a few days. Naruto informed them about the reason he accepted them, that being that they are good people and he sees them as valuable assets, as well as that they will be able to help him start a fishing and construction companies.
Everyone agreed that Naruto has made a great decision, and they all support him. Then again, even if they didn't agree, there wouldn't be anything they could do to change Naruto's mind.
The one thing some of them didn't agree, is that Naruto decided to accept Koyuki's offer to marry her. Those were all girls who were jealous, but Naruto is sure he can make them agree with him. He will make sure of that.
Then, they talked about the current status of the construction of the city and how far advanced it is.
The construction of the houses have advanced pretty far. They have decided to build houses which look like cubes, and have no roof, so more can be built on top of the previous ones, which means that they can build more and take less space. As of right now, all the people who live in the New Whirlpool, have houses to live it. On top of that, there are several hundred more houses, already built, and empty, only waiting for new people to come and live in them. It was understood, that several dozen more houses would be needed to be built, in order for all the people from Wave Country to have where to live. Naruto ordered to have those houses built as soon as possible.
Just like the houses, the shops have also been built, and many people already have their own shops, some already in use, and some waiting to start. There is a plan for a central market to be built, where the inhabitants and the travelers can do trade, but that is still in the future plans, and will have to wait.
The harbor has been built, but is currently in waiting, as there are no ships, and they still haven't started any import-export business. Once the people from Wave Country come and the fishing company is built, the harbor will start as well.
Someone mentioned that one of the parts of the island which will not be inhabited, should be used to make large orchards. Everyone agreed with that, and they filed it for later.
As for the palace, the construction has started and is progressing well, but due to its size, it will take a while to be built, especially since it's not some simply wooden house, but a gigantic palace built from carved stone, concrete and steel.
Those are the most important plans for the future of the New Whirlpool. Everything else that someone might think and that they haven't so far, won't be so important and can wait.
Once the meeting was over, Naruto went to the Wave Country, to check out how the packing is going, and when the people will be ready to move.

Two months later
It has been two months since team from the Leaf Village has been sent to search for Itachi and Kisame.
During that time, they have went over Hoshigakure, Kusagakure and Takigakure, before they went to search around Amegakure.
While those allied with the Akatsuki, know that Ame is led by the leader of the Akatsuki, the other nations didn't, which is why team from Leaf didn't go there right from the start, and instead searching the nations who are allied with the Akatsuki, the last one being Amegakure.
The reason they left Ame for last, is because unlike the other villages who can be easily found and searched if you have skills, Ame is closed-off for the other nations, and it's not easy to enter, let alone search the place.
Right now, the Leaf team was able to infiltrate Ame, using the opportunity which presented itself while the leader of Ame was in some sort of a fight against someone. The Leaf ninja have been trying to enter Ame for the last 10 days, and they were unsuccessful, as every time they tried, a squad of Ame ninja would intercept them and chase them away. Of course, Leaf ninja could try and fight, but after two months of continuous search, they were tired, and didn't want to fight unless absolutely necessary. The fact that if they do fight and take out a squad or two of Ame ninja, the leader would send even more, might have had something to do with their decision to avoid the fight.
But now, they found out that somehow, someone was able to infiltrate Ame, and even managed to get to the leader, which is why they are fighting right now, and from what the Leaf ninja can see from a far, the infiltrator must be very strong, but the leader of Ame must be really strong as well, because the amount of destruction their fight is causing, is quite large.
From where they are standing, the Leaf ninja can hear the sounds of battle, and hear and see the explosions, but are unable to see neither of the battlers, so they don't know who they are.
"Who do you think was it that was able to infiltrate Ame, Kakashi?" Yamato asked.
"I don't know," Kakashi sighed. "But whoever it is, must be high Kage level. The same goes for the leader of the Ame. Only a battle between two High S borderline SS-Rank shinobi can be this destructible.
"I didn't think that there were any SS-Rank shinobi left after the Fourth Hokage's death." Yamato said.
"Neither did I," Kakashi said. "But apparently, there is at least one. The question is. Who they are, and whose side they are?"
Just then, they saw a very powerful Fire Type attack, which was spread so wide, that it burned down everything in its path.
Then there was a tidal wave which crushed against the fire attack, and managed to stop it. Water had advantage over fire, but since the fire attack was apparently stronger of the two, both attacks canceled each other out.
"What was that fire jutsu?" Sasuke growled, as he has never seen a fire attack that powerful, and he is an Uchiha. Uchiha have affinity toward fire, and there isn't any fire type attack that they don't know about. "Even in my Clan's library, I have never seen a jutsu like that mentioned."
"Maybe you have, but you don't recognize it," Kakashi offered, making everyone, especially Sasuke look at him. "The power of the attack depends on the amount of chakra put into it. Maybe you have seen this jutsu mentioned in your clans library, but don't recognize it because whoever used it now, used a lot more chakra then necessary, and made it more powerful than it would have usually been."
Sasuke scowled, thinking that someone would have enough chakra to do something like that. As much as it pains him to admit, and even then, he would only admit it to himself and not out loud, he can't create a fire attack that powerful. In fact, his most powerful attack was a lightning jutsu called Kirin, and even that, isn't as powerful as that fire jutsu from earlier.
Then there is a fact that there is someone with an affinity for water powerful enough to counter that powerful fire jutsu. Just thinking about whoever is fighting out there, almost made Sasuke tremble in fear, especially, since there is a possibility that the one who used that fire jutsu, is Itachi himself.
While Kakashi, Sasuke and Yamato were trying to find a way to approach the battle, and see who is battling, but without putting themselves in danger, Kiba, Shino and Hinata are standing to the side and are keeping quiet.
The three of them haven't been included a lot in the talks with the other three, mostly because Kakashi and Sasuke thought that they weren't really needed, while Yamato just followed what Kakashi did. At first, Kiba tried to interfere, and put himself in the talks, but eventually, he gave up, while Shino, didn't even try, and was content with standing to the side, quietly.
Then there is Hinata. She has barely spoken a word to anyone since they left the village. She has actually spoken even less then Shino, which means that she probably didn't say more than five words in all that time.
She didn't like anyone who was with her on this mission, and they all know that, so they left her alone, and as long as she was left alone, she wasn't going to bother them. Even Kiba left her alone, which is saying a lot, considering he always wants to be around her and prove himself as a top dog, so that she would accept him as her boyfriend. Like that's ever going to happen.
Because she was so quiet, the others mostly forgot about her… which means that they have also forgotten about her Byakugan, which she can use to see who is battling against whom.
While the others have forgotten about the Byakugan, Hinata didn't, which is why she is standing behind everyone else, and watching the battle which is going on in the middle of Ame.
Currently, Hinata was watching as Jiraiya... of all people, was battling against several members of the Akatsuki. As ridiculous as it sounds, he is actually doing well against all of them.
Hinata noticed that Jiraiya has some marks on his face, and around his eyes, which is something he didn't have the last time she saw him, and she wondered if that is the reason he is so strong. She didn't know how powerful he really was, when she last saw him, but the power she was seeing him use right now, is ridiculous, and above anything she has seen before.
Jiraiya was the one who used that fire jutsu earlier, and Hinata recognized Kisame as the one who used the water jutsu to counter it. Besides the two of them, Hinata also recognized Itachi, who was shooting fire attacks, and apparently trying to catch Jiraiya in genjutsu, using his Mangekyo, but for some reason, it was failing.
Besides the three of them, Hinata didn't know anyone else, but she can see a woman with blue hair, using paper for her jutsu, which interested Hinata, as it looked interested. Then there is another woman, with purple hair and a sword, but she was just standing at the side and watching, which surprised Hinata.
The last person… or better said, persons, were six people with orange hair, and with rods in several parts of their bodies. They also seem to possess the same eyes, and are fighting in a way that no regular human can. Hinata recognized with her Byakugan, that those six were not alive, but were some kind of puppets, used by someone else. She didn't know who though, as she can't see anyone else besides those 11 people, ten of which are battling.
Hinata watched, as Jiraiya systematically destroyed one after the other of the puppets, until there was only one left. Besides that one puppet, Itachi, Kisame and the blue haired woman were mostly fine as well. The purple haired woman was still just watching the battle, and not doing anything.
While Jiraiya was doing extremely well against all those opponents, Hinata can see that he is getting tired and that he won't be able to win against all of them. On top of that, Hinata knew that the reason no one saw Jiraiya in the Leaf Village for over three years, was because he left after he learned what happened to Naruto, and didn't want to be in the same village with the traitors.
Because of that, and because Hinata wanted this mission to be over as soon as possible, as she can't stand to be in the presence of Kakashi, Sasuke and Kiba any longer, she spoke.
"You all do remember that I'm here… right?" Hinata drew the attention of everyone else in the group of ninja. They all looked at where the voice came from, and saw Hinata standing behind Kiba and Shino, her Byakugan activated, and was looking at them all.
It instantly dawned on them all that they forgot about her, and that with her Byakugan, she could see who was battling in Ame right now.
"Y-You saw who is battling out there?" Kakashi questioned, and Hinata shock her head in exasperation, before she nodded.
"Yes," she said. "I saw from the start."
"Then why didn't you say anything?" Sasuke shouted.
"Why didn't you ask," Hinata questioned back? "If you all thought about something else other than yourselves for once, then you might have remembered that I'm here as well, and that I have Byakugan."
Sasuke wanted to yell at Hinata for daring to talk back to him, but Kakashi stopped him. Kakashi understood that now is not the time for arguments, and that they need to know who is battling in Ame, and what can they do in order to come out on top regardless on which side wins in the end.
"Who is battling out there, Hinata?" Kakashi asked.
"Jiraiya is battling against several members of the Akatsuki," Hinata said, getting wide-eyed looks from everyone. "By himself." She added.
"B-B-But, Jiraiya hasn't been s-seen for over three years," Kakashi stuttered in disbelief. "Why is he battling them now? Where has he been all this time?"
Hinata shrugged. "I don't know the answer to either of those questions. What I do know is that he is powerful enough to take on Itachi, Kisame, some blue haired woman that uses paper for a jutsu, and six other people who, from what I can see, are all corpses controlled by someone else. Those six all have identical eyes. It seems to be some kind of Dōjutsu, but I don't know which one.
"Currently, five of those corpses are destroyed, and only one is left. As for the other members of the Akatsuki, they have injuries, but nothing too major. Jiraiya is hanging there, but I doubt he will be able to defeat all of the by himself, even if right now, he seems to have the upper hand."
Everyone was interested in what Hinata said. They knew that Jiraiya was strong, he was a Sanin, and up until three years ago, he was the strongest ninja in the Leaf Village. But even then, it shouldn't be possible even for someone like Jiraiya to battle against all those members of the Akatsuki, and still have the advantage.
Then there is the Dōjutsu, Hinata mentioned. They all thought that the only Dōjutsu in the world are Sharingan and Byakugan, and didn't think that there is any other. Kakashi though, he knew that once, Rinnegan existed, and he once heard from Jiraiya that he had a student who has awakened Rinnegan. He wondered if this person from the Akatsuki, has Rinnegan, and if they do, then who are they?"
"Can you describe this Dōjutsu to me?" Kakashi asked Hinata.
"I can't tell the color, but it seems to be ripple pattern, with several rings outside of a black dot in the middle." Hinata explained. Kakashi gasped, which everyone noticed and looked at him.
'It is Rinnegan,' Kakashi thought in his head. 'Damn it! This is bad. Even if Jiraiya has somehow become stronger, there is no way he can defeat someone with the Rinnegan. Even Fourth Hokage would have had trouble with that.'
"What's wrong, Kakashi," Yamato asked? "Do you recognize that Dōjutsu?"
"Yes," Kakashi said. "It's the Rinnegan. The same Dōjutsu said to be possessed by the Sage of the Six Paths." All those there gasped and widened their eyes in shock. None of them even thought that that Dōjutsu is even real. They thought it's just a legend… a myth.
They were wrong.
"Are you sure?" Yamato asked.
"Yes," Kakashi replied. "Jiraiya once told me about it and explained how it looks like."
"How did he know about it and how it looks?" Sasuke asked. He has heard about the Rinnegan, and about the Sage of the Six Paths, but he still refused to believe that there is a Dōjutsu stronger than Sharingan. To him, the Uchiha bloodline is the most powerful ever.
"In the Second Shinobi War, Jiraiya found three orphans and decided to train them," Kakashi said. "One of them ended up awakening the Rinnegan. Jiraiya knew what it was because of the legend."
"What happened to that kid?" Kiba asked.
"I don't know," Kakashi said. "But Jiraiya found them here in Ame, and considering that he is now battling against someone with the Rinnegan right here in Ame… it makes me wonder if the person controlling those corpses is the same kid that Jiraiya trained."
"But if Jiraiya trained this guy, then why would they battle," Kiba asked again? "Also, why would someone who Jiraiya trained, be in a criminal organization like the Akatsuki?"
"You are forgetting that the Third Hokage trained Orochimaru, only for Orochimaru to turn traitor, and then one day return to destroy the village, and cause Third's death." Kakashi said, making Kiba understand. "You all need to learn that the relationship between teacher and the student is not always a nice one, and even if it is at first, things can change as the time passes."
After a few moments of silence, Hinata decided to break it. "What are we going to do now," she asked? "Are we just going to stay here and wait, or are we going to do something?"
Kakashi as the leader spoke. "Jiraiya is a traitor to the village," Kakashi spoke. "He abandoned the village just because we got rid of the demon, and never came back," he missed the narrowed eyes from Hinata… not that he would have cared even if he did saw it, "as such, I would have left him to deal with this by himself. But, since we were sent after Itachi and Kisame, we need to do something."
"I want Itachi," Sasuke growled. "I can't risk Jiraiya or anyone else to kill him before I do."
"Which is why, we are going to go there and interfere in the battle," Kakashi said. "You Sasuke, can take on Itachi, while the rest of us are going to help Jiraiya."
"Didn't you just say that you want to let Jiraiya deal with this by himself," Hinata asked, getting narrowed look from Kakashi? "Why interfere then? Is it just to please the Uchiha bastard here, or is it something else."
"How dare you insult me like that, Hyūga bitch?" Sasuke yelled at Hinata, not liking the insult.
"I will insult you as much as I want, because you deserve it," Hinata said to Sasuke, making him growl at her, but she didn't care about it. "You are a scum, Uchiha. As much as you believe yourself to deserve something, the only thing you truly deserve is slow and very painful death, and one day, you will die, slowly and painfully. All I want is to be there and watch with a smile on my face."
All her current teammates were surprise by the stuff Hinata said, and the amount of hatred she has toward Sasuke. They knew that she has changed in the last three years, but this is more than a little bit extreme, and some of them even shivered in fear because of the smile on Hinata's face.
Sasuke wanted to say something back, and even start a fight, but Kakashi stopped him. "Forget about that now," Kakashi said. "Right now, you should only focus on Itachi, and not waste time and strength on anything else."
Sasuke reluctantly nodded, as he knew that nothing is more important than killing Itachi. He did promise himself that he will kill Hinata though, and he will kill her the first chance he has, and with no problem at all, especially since he killed his two teammates for more power. Killing Hinata will not put any weight on his consciousness.
Kakashi looked at Hinata, and asked. "How is the current situation in the battle?"
Hinata shrugged. "Jiraiya managed to defeat the last corpse, but is looking very tired, and is being overpowered by the others," Hinata said. "He will not last long."
"What is the state of the Akatsuki members?" Kakashi asked.
"The blue haired woman left as soon as the last corpse was defeated," Hinata said. "Probably went to where the real one is. The ones left behind are Itachi and Kisame. There is another woman, with long purple hair and a sword, but she is just standing there and watching. She hasn't battled at all."
Everyone was confused by this. "Why wouldn't she battle, if Jiraiya was giving them so much trouble?" Yamato asked.
Hinata shock her head. "I don't know," she said. "She probably has a reason, though."
Kakashi thought about this woman, and who she is. He was surprised that she isn't helping her comrades, and for some reason, he is unnerved by her, even though he has never even seen her.
Kakashi decided to think about that woman, later. Now, he and the others have to go after Itachi and Kisame, and use this chance to take them both out, since they are most likely tired from their battle against Jiraiya. Since Jiraiya is also going to be tired, if they are lucky, they might be able to get him as well, and bring him back to the village for a trial as he has turned his back against the village three years ago.
