Chapter 1: A Mother Never Forgets their Children

A/N: Hey y'all so I know I talked about bringing different fanfictions than just RWBY on this page. I'm not gonna lie, the other stories I'm going to bring include Naruto, Demon-Slayer and Harry Potter and of course RWBY. There might be crossover stories, or the stories will all have some sort of easter eggs from other stories or maybe they'll somehow connect but you'll have to find out when I put them out hehe.

Other than that, this story is probably going to be a couple chapters, but I'll see as we go but I have no doubt this will trigger some people because I'm not following CANNON. WELL TOUGH LUCK IT'S CALLED 'FAN-FICTION' so deal with it. If you can't accept it then just click off cause realistically, I can't care. Also, if you make or use a guest account to badmouth or shit on other authors/writers then you are honestly worse than scum. You have no life and are probably just jealous or don't have the skill or function to put up a story and hide behind your keyboard because you don't get enough attention from others, so you must bring others down to satisfy you. I hope you rot in hell. All the other people I love y'all and, I love having reviews and constructive criticisms to help me out!

Ōtakemaru

It was a busy day in the village of hidden leaf as everyone bustled around the place whether it was shopping or talking to their friends and families, dropping their kids into the civilian schools or at the ninja academy. The ANBU were jumping across the roofs of the villages to head to their HQ, some were heading out as a cell team to go on their missions that were given by their commander. Jounin rank ninjas were walking to their training grounds with their genins or even chunnins as they practised their jutsu and teamwork.

However, there was one person that was looking nervous and was in quite a situation as she sat on her chair overlooking the dreadful paperwork that was surrounding her. She gave off another sigh as she just came back from a council meeting. This meeting was based on whether there was any progress for finding the jinchuriki of the village. Unfortunately, there was no progress or any signs of the boy. It had been almost 8 years since the disappearance of the blonde-haired boy. Little did they know, or anyone know, that Naruto Uzamaki was the child of Tsunade but blood.

Currently Tsunade was looking at the newest Bingo Book that was acquired where Jiraiya had gone to check out since there was a conflict happening that was raising a concern to the many hidden villages. Tsuande had flipped to the page that Jiraiya had told her to look at as he didn't want to raise the interest of the civilian council, especially Danzo who was a crafty person.

Konoha

She saw the information of Itachi Uchiha and grimaced at the numerous information of what happened and what his known skills were and his current affiliation and a picture of him. He was one of the most dangerous ninjas from their ranks. Skipping past a few other missing ninjas from Konoha which surprised her that there were a handful. She also saw the page for Sasuke Uchiha as well who had defected from Konoha to join Orochimaru for his quest to kill his brother and power. There was also the page on Orochimaru as well who was well known to everyone. One of the legendary sannin and known for his experiments on humans. Shaking her head at her other ex-teammate that had changed and become something that she couldn't imagine. She also saw the other Konoha ninjas that had been entered into the book. Many of her colleagues and herself were on the bingo book because of their skills and Konoha having a large number of strong ninja's residing in their village was something to be proud of. These included the likes of Anko, Kurenai, Kakashi, Asuma, Jiraiya, Yuago, Minato, Kushina, all the clean heads, ANBU commander and then some of the recently promoted chunnins that had excelled in their missions making a name for themselves.

Then she turned to the next page of the Konoha section to see a new entry was just placed and seeing a new rank was surprising for her. To her understanding the highest rank possible was SS-rank and that was given to only a few people such as Minato, Hanzo, Hashirama, Tobirama, Madara and that was because these people were one of the most powerful ninjas that roamed the nations. She looked at the information about this ninja that was affiliated to Konoha in some sort of way.

Ōtakemaru had reportedly helped with Kiri rebellions to overthrow the Mizukage. He reportedly killed close to 550 of Yagura's loyalists before killing Yagura.

The Rank was given by the neutral organisation called 'F.E.A.R' who record and give ranks to the bingo books of the ninja.

Tsunade could only just stare in shock and tremble in pure fear that a ninja of this calibre was roaming in the nations and ironically, he came from Konoha. But there was only a little information that was clicking in her head that made her gasp which caught the attention of Jiraiya and Shizune who just walked in to drop more paperwork for her mentor.

"What's wrong hime?" Jiraiya asked quietly as he watched how much she paled at the information of the bingo book.

Tsunade looked up at the man shaking as she turned the book over so that they both could see and then spoke up as her voice was slightly breaking and tears were threatening to fall down her cheeks.

"One of his aliases is Oni No Kitsune….and then there's his ability to have Mokuton" she said in a soft voice. Then looked back up to them "It's him Jiraiya." Which only made him sit on the chair in shock.

Shizue froze and her head only turned to look at her mentor with a fearful shock and then her eyes rolled back in her head, and she fainted on the spot of the information overloading her brain. Jiraiya looked at Tsunade suspiciously and voiced his thoughts.

The Hokage bit her lip and chewed the inside of her cheeks as she thought about whether to reveal the information to her teammate, not that she didn't trust him. She looked at him and then Shizune and then called the ANBU's in the room to leave which they shunshin away and she set up some silencing seals from prying ears and made sure to ask the toad sannin if he could feel anyone else's presence which he said it was all cleared.

Sighing softly, she pulled out her sake and took a big sip from the bottle and placed it down on the wooden table and then looked at her teammate seriously.

"Before you get angry or anything with what I'm going to say. Only one other person knew about this and no one else." She said softly as her honey eyes narrowed at her teammate.

'Something isn't right, and I feel like I won't like it' Jiraiya thought to himself and nodded.

"Naruto is my son, obviously he wasn't biologically mine but Kushina, myself and Minato had all agreed as well with Hiruzen that if anything happened to the couple that I would become his mother. For that we had met up in secret in Minato's compound and conducted a blood adoption." She said in a quiet voice and at that time Shizune woke up only to hear some words but to hear that Naruto is her mentor's blood adopted son was shocking.

"WHAT!" Jiraiya shouted out loud to hear about this new information of his godson. Tsunade is his mother?!

"Jiraiya. Sit back down please. Yes, Naruto is my son and he had gained my affinities and my grandfather's mokuton and a bit of Tobirama's water manipulation. I hid my chakra along with Shizune when we stayed in Konoha in secret for a bit and watched Naruto getting bullied and attacked. I played my hand and told Hiruzen that I was taking Naruto with me and taught him to hide his chakra and presence." Taking a deep breath, she continued with her explanation.

"After a while where we travelled, I was still grieving and drinking myself away when me and Naruto were separated. For a while I didn't notice because I just wanted to do my things and just throw money around. It was then one day that Shizune had enough and got angry with my actions and told me that Naruto had been separated and gone missing." Tears were falling fast down her cheeks as she powered on.

"Not only that I hadn't taught as much as I wanted but Shizune helped him a bit and gave him some medical jutsu to practice and some offensive attacks. It was only then I just registered that my child was roaming around the nations without anyone. I cried the whole day and buried myself in alcohol and gambling because I wasn't a good mother."

Jiraya and Shizune were silent as they just listened,and it made them feel like their heart broke for the lone mother as she recalled the story of how she lost her son.

"B-But hime what does this have to do with the new bingo entry?" Jiraiya asked softly. But before she could speak Shizune gasped out loud as she stared at the hokage with wide eyes and trembled.

"Tsun-tsuande, are you saying that Ōtakemaru is Naruto?" Shizune's voice shook with fear and as she watched the hokage nod with tears trailing down at a slower pace she sat still.

"It was after a couple years that I received a summon of a wolf that appeared in front of me" she thought back to the memory of seeing the dire wolf appear in front of him scaring the living shit out of her.

FLASHBACK

Tsunade was walking around the village as she made her way to the village's hospital. It was quite a quaint village and very quiet even though it had a casino and a handful of bars ranging in prices. She was so in her thoughts that she didn't see the wolf walking up to her. Its height was almost around her bust and she looked up sensing an unfamiliar chakra. She was on guard and spread her senses around her and felt nothing, so she looked up catching the pupils of the wolf staring at her. They were a bright yellow in contrast to its pitch-black fur.

"You must be Tsunade the slug princess as well as one of the three legendary sannin. I was sent to come find you" The wolf spoke in a soft velvety voice as she stared at the legendary figure in front of her as her summoner sent her to find his mother.

"I am. I've never seen a wolf summoned. The closest is the Kyuubi but enough of that what is it that you need?" Tsunade stared down the wolf as it nodded.

"I was only to relay a message and hand you a scroll that's attached to my back that was addressed to you. The message is from your son and he says that he's safe and that he loves you and can't wait to see you again. The rest is in the scroll" the wolf then eloquently bowed her head down to show there was a scroll attached on her back.

"M-my sochi? Is, okay?" her hands trembled, and her steps became harder as she took the scroll that was neatly tied and a flash of hurt appeared in her honey brown eyes as she looked at the wolf accusingly.

"H-how DARE YOU LIE TO ME!" Tsunade snarled as she saw a wolf who was in their mind shitting themselves. Her summoner had told her about the strength his mother possessed and to be honest she didn't want to become crippled, so she gulped.

"Tsunade-sama! I promise you! It's the truth. Your son is within our protection as well as another clan that we are allied with. We have been training him and making sure he's safe in this world. We understand how tough and sensitive the topic is for you, but I promise you that he's safe. Your little bundle of joy is such a joy to be around with and he's so adorable" the feline wolf smiled happily as its tail flicked about and her ears pointed up happily.

Letting the word process, she calmed down and at that moment Shizune had turned up as she found her master. She came to the scene seeing a crying Tsunade holding a massive black wolf and saying 'thank you' repeatedly.

After a couple hours as the two women reached the house, they were staying out. They had a quiet dinner and talked a bit and then Shizune asked what happened earlier on to which the slug princess smiled softly and replied.

"He's safe and the wolf that you saw earlier on today was apparently one of his summon clans that he's acquired, and he sent a scroll to me." She said softly with a beautiful smile on her face. That Shizune couldn't help but her heart soared into the sky hearing that her little brother was safe and sound.

She took out the scroll on the cleared table and opened it with Shizune next to her as she read it out loud.

"Hi Kaa-san and Shizune-nee-chan!

I just want to say that I'm safe and sound and I've been learning lots and lots of awesome jutsu with the black panther clan and the dire wolf clan. They are all soooo awesome, but they aren't as cool as my mom though! I just want you to know that I don't blame you for anything and how we got separated. So please mom don't be too harsh on yourself and nee-chan can you keep mother straight! She's already a drunkard and she shouldn't discover a new level of drunk. Pleaseeeeeeeee!

I've been training in both clan's home worlds and it's so cool! I get to see lots of different colours of fur and different personalities! I even found a panther that's a drunkard like you kaa-san!"

Tsunade was gaining more and more tick marks as her son called her a drunkard and then went on saying that he found someone like her!

'THAT BRAT! I WILL GIVE YOU A SPANKING WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU NARUTO!' Tsunade raged on in her mind while Shizune was laughing hysterically. They then went back to read.

"Also, both matriarchs of the clans have taken a liking to me, and they also taught me the birds and the bees which to be honest has traumatised me. THEY WENT INTO DETAILS ABOUT IT AND THEN THEY DID SUMMONS BIRDS AND THE BEES! (He drew a chibi version of him crying anime tears). But they are both very helpful and beautiful as well and they make me feel safe! Also, their families are so awesome! They have so many different talents.

I also know about the Kyuubi and who my real parents were. But that doesn't change the fact that I love you as my kaa-san and that you will always be my mother."

At first her heart plummeted at the information he had just shared and found out and she was scared that he wouldn't see her as his mother but when she read the next line her fragile heart soared in the skies and tears poured down her cheeks as she laughed happily that he still loves her as his mother.

"I love you sochi. So so much" she whispered to herself as Shizune smiled as well and nodded at the statement.

"Apparently Akane wasn't responsible for the slaughter and was under a genjutsu by a sharingan user that wore a mask and unleashed it at Konoha. Oh! Akane is the name of the Kyuubi and she's a girl too! That's right the mightiest of all Bijuu is a girl and she's so helpful too! She's training me in using her yokai and she's told me about my heritage and how you became my mother as well as my multiple bloodlines. I Also found out that I have a long name! MOMMMMMMMM. Don't worry when I come back Kaa-san we can have a big celebration and go drinking! YATTA! Also, Shizune can you help me with some new clothes! I love you both Kaa-chan and Shizune Nee-chan!

LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE,

Naruto Uzamaki-Senju-Uchiha

(Chibi version of him doing a V sign with the Kyuubi and the two clan heads of his summons).

They both shook on what he knew about and also laughed at his little chibi drawings of himself and could read and feel every emotion with each word he wrote. Sealing the scroll back she would forever cherish this letter from her sochi. The both of them had just retired back to their rooms and before the blonde woman went to bed she looked out the starry night and blew a kiss to wherever her sochi was and smiled softly.

"Goodnight Sochi. Sweet dreams and sleep tight my baby. Mother loves you so much and can't wait to see you" she said softly before climbing into her bed and snuggling into the covers falling asleep.

Little did she know that her sochi did the same thing before he fell asleep.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Jiraiya just sat there dumbfounded about the new information that his teammate just told him about the gaki being her son. He couldn't believe it, not even as she told him that and just had his mouth hanging agape looking like a fish out of water.

"Y-your joking right hime?" Tsunade didn't even flinch or give off any sign that she was pranking him about something so ridiculous, but she was telling the truth.

"I'm not joking Jiraiya. This is a serious matter in-fact this is an SS-rank secret at the current moment, and I don't want any outsider to find out about this just yet. I trust you that you can keep it a secret." She glared at him with her infamous death stare and cracked her knuckles and he vigorously shook his head up and down.

After staring down at the toad sannin for a bit longer she reluctantly nodded and sat back down on the chair rubbing her temples and sighed softly.

"So Ōtakemaru is Naruto…do you know where he could possibly be by any chance?" he asked after regaining his composure and looking at the busty blonde.

"Unfortunately, not but I have heard rumours that he has been hunting down high S-rank missing ninjas and completing stealth and search and destroy missions as well as assassinations for the other nations except Iwa." She thought carefully and then an idea popped up in her mind.

"Didn't you say that the Akatsuki were making their moves on the other jinchurikis. If I'm right, then he's probably keeping tabs on them." She mused softly as she looked at the two other people in the room.

Thinking carefully about what he received from his well collected spy network he nodded in agreement and spoke up.

"That's right. I have heard about the incident in Kumo where they had pinned the Nibii, but she was saved by a missing ninja, and they were forced to retreat. Then there was another incident in Takigakure where the seven tails were nearly killed and again the same person had interfered with them." The man spoke carefully as he realised the trend and the conclusion that Tsunade had made was nonetheless accurate.

"That means he's really gunning for the Akatsuki. Either he is good and powerful or he's making a bigger target on his back. But that doesn't change the fact that he could get captured and then be killed by them." She fidgets on the spot hoping her son is safe and sends a small prayer in her mind to protect the brat.

Jiraiya was thinking of the possibilities and how they could try and meet the infamous Ōtakemaru. He really wanted to catch up with his godson but also couldn't help shudder what would happen in the confrontation. He knows that he could've done better but vowed to make it up to the kid.

"HOKAGE-SAMA! URGENT NEWS! THERE HAS BEEN A SIGHTING OF THREE HIGH SS-RANKING NINJAS NEAR THE BORDERS OF THE LAND OF FIRE!" An ANBU wearing a cat mask with beautiful purple hair behind the mask.

Instantly she stood up and looked at the toad sannin and they both gave a look and she sighed quietly.

"Akatsuki" they both said at the same time grimly.

"Neko. Gai's team, Asuma's team and Kurenai's team. As well, get me Kakashi and Anko Instantly." Tsunade snapped instantly as she thought of a plan. Before Yuago left Jiraiya spoke up in a strong tone.

"We're going to need more firepower than that. We need at least some stronger people like a couple of the clan heads. And maybe a strong ANBU team as well." He said softly as she looked at the hokage and the ANBU.

"What do you mean? Shouldn't that be enough. Three teams and these chunnins are the strength of this new generation." She asked impassively and rubbed her temples feeling a headache and dreading the paperwork for this mission.

"No, it won't. As much as I'd like to say they are, they don't have enough experience especially when it comes to Akatsuki. These people are S to SS-ranking for a reason. We need more backup just in-case things get out of control and we know it will happen." He said roughly and threw back a shot of sake feeling that warm feeling in the back of his throat.

"Alright, Fine. Go get me Tsume, Ibiki, Shibi and Shikaku. I also want Yamato as well as you Jiraiya to accompany them on this SS-rank mission I'm giving out. Neko, I want Boar, Turtle, Seal, Hound, and the ANBU commander to join this mission. NOW! Time is running out and when everyone is here, I'll debrief the mission." She said as the ANBU replied with 'Hai' and shunshin in a swirl of leaves.

"Do you think it's going to work?" Jiraiya voiced out his thoughts as he stared at the back of the hokage as she looked over the village from her window and sighed quietly as she sniffled quietly.

Feeling a hand placed on her shoulder she saw Jiraiya giving her a comforting smile and her apprentice smiling softly even though she could tell the girl was nervous.

"I don't know Jiraiya. I can only hope that I get to see my son again and hold him. But we also need to start making a move on the Akatsuki. They are getting too bold and sooner than later the other nations are going to have to put their pride away for a while and work together." She spoke so softly and went back to take another swig from the sake bottle she had opened.

After half an hour the people she had called for had started to arrive at the office making small talk as they wondered why such a large amount of people are needed for a mission when Yuago stopped by the group of people that the hokage had summoned them. The minute they had all stepped into the office everyone could feel the tension in the atmosphere as they saw the hokage and the legendary sannin or pervert having an impassive face and looking at them.

"Hokage-sama. What is going on and why do you need such a large group of people for this mission? I take it very seriously but it still makes me wonder why we need this many people. No offence" The ANBU Commander spoke in his commander's voice.

"I agree. What's got everything tits up?" Anko spoke nonchalantly causing everyone to sweat drop and the snake mistress to shrug uncaringly only to be smacked upside the head twice by Yuago and Kurenai.

The rest of the people stayed quiet and waited for the answer that their leader would tell them about the mission but couldn't help thinking about that either. Meanwhile the two Nara's that were summoned were thinking hard and it didn't take long for them to understand the tension and the situation they were in. 'troublesome' the father and son spoke under their breath.

"I am sending you all on a SS-rank mission. Recently there have been reports that Akatsuki have been making their moves and they are getting quite bold with their attempts. I was recently just informed half an hour ago by Cat that it was reported that there were three high S-ranking ninja at the borders of the land of fire. Now this is serious, and I mean that all of you chunnins listen carefully to your leaders. This is no joke, Akatsuki are dangerous." She spoke seriously like a true hokage.

The ANBU commander nodded slightly as well as the other ANBU's as the rest of the jounins thought quietly to themselves, but the other recruits were confused about who the infamous group was.

"Hokage-sama. Who are exactly the Akatsuki? I never heard of that name before?" Ino chirped up as the others nodded in agreement except the veterans.

"Akatsuki is an organisation that is made up of S-ranking missing ninjas from different villages. Yes, that's right Itachi is also part of the infamous group so he could be one of the people near the border or not. These people are no joke, one mistake or opening you show and that could be your very last breath. Their goal is unknown but from numerous reports and sources Jiraiya found out that they are currently trying to hunt down the other Jinchuriki and collect them all." She rounded off and looked at Jiraiya who nodded and continued where she left off.

"The problem is that when extracting the Bijuu from the container's it kills them because the pain is unbearable, and they are taking the chakra away from them." He said softly, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

Tsunade looked down sadly and got up from her chair and stared out the window before making sure the seal was still active and looked around scanning around. She motioned the ANBU to use their sensor to find if there were any spies for the next information she was going to drop but all was clear.

"That's not only the dangerous part of the mission. There's a second part of the mission I need you guys to complete but if you cannot return give your reports." She said sternly as she frowned.

"WHAT?!" everyone exclaimed abruptly. It was almost as if the hokage seemed to say to them that the first part was an A-rank mission, and this was the real mission. Little did they know what was going to happen.

Putting her hand up to silent everyone and gain their attention she crossed her arms under her bust and stared down everyone.

"You are going to try and track down the U-Rank missing-nin Ōtakemaru and recruit him or get him to come back with you. This will be the hardest part of the mission." The hokage spoke softly but loud enough.

"What's a U-Rank? Is that new?" Kurenai voiced out what everyone turned into about this missing nin.

"U-rank is higher than SS-rank ninjas by a mile. It's like a Kage going against a genin. Here's all the information that has been said about the missing-nin." She tossed the book over to the group who crowded over the bingo book.

There were lots of gasps of fear and shock when they first read the nickname given to the shinobi. The more they read the more they felt fear and it was only just reading his bingo book they haven't even come across him yet. The chunnins had turned deathly pale as they looked over the numerous bounties the person had on them, making them one of the largest bounties in the nations. The Jounins couldn't help but whistle in shock even Asuma and Kakashi were strong and had bounties on themselves as well as the legendary sannin. But this person was on a whole different level to them and what even scared the group was his information was quite limited apart from the number of kills and records. His skills were basically border-line all master level and to have them all ranked S/SS/U-ranked is quite unfathomable. Not only that the shinobi didn't have a picture of him in the book which threw them off even more.

Anko, Ibiki and the ANBU Commander may be those sadistic people that people would hate to be the target of their ire. They may be battle lust crazy people or like to torture enemies but to see this shinobi be ranked as one of the most powerful people walking in the nations made them fear for their safety. They were crazy but not suicidal and this mission was just beyond what they had ever done. To not only go and try and bring down the group's ninja's but also at the same time recruit the deadliest shinobi ever nearly made them want to soil themselves.

"Are you sure about this Hokage-sama…. this is highly risky…especially with this unknown person" The ANBU commander seriously.

Tsunade had to look away and had a small smile on her face and nodded her head softly. All a mother wanted was to just see her beautiful baby again.

"I am sure and that's final." She said in her Hokage voice as they all shouted 'Hai!'.

"You are going to be separated into five separate squads and have five in each squad except one. Squad one will be Anko, Neko, Kurenai, Ibiki and Yamato as the squad leader." Yamato nodded as the people stood next to him.

"Squad two will be Kakashi, Shikaku, Shikamaru, Choji and will take the leader for squad two." Shibi gave a small nod of acknowledgment, and his hive had a slight nervousness in their hum.

"Squad three will include Asuma, Shibi, Hinata, Ino and your leader will be Gai." Gai for once wasn't spouting about youth and running around Konoha instead he gave his trademark smile and thumbs up pose.

"Squad four will be Shino, Kiba, Shizune, Neji and your leader for your squad will be Jiraiya" He didn't need to say anything and gave her a nod that he'll get Naruto back.

"Squad five will consist of Tenten, Hana, Lee and lastly Sakura and you will be led by Tsume since you guys will be a support group for the other squads." Tsume nodded quietly and waited to be dismissed to get all her equipment.

"The last squad will be the ANBU, but you guys will help when things get way out of control. Almost act as a second support team and help when you can because you will need it." Tsunade spoke as she ran a hand through her hair as she watched even turn professional and saluted the hokage and moved out the room.

"Good luck. If things are too risky whether you don't complete either mission, then retreat. I will still pay you as an SS-rank mission. Do not let your guard down." She said softly and let them file out the room before dropping down on the chair and downing the bottle of sake.

LINEBREAK

Naruto had sensed the bounties he was currently tracking and hunting down enter his sensor barrier he had set up. He had spent 4 years tracking down the Akatsuki and learning about all the members in the group. He knew their movements and how each one worked together and had a very intelligent spy for their organisation. He peered down the tree he was hiding up in masking his complete existence as if he was part of the tree as the group of shinobi were walking in their Akatsuki cloaks and talking between each other.

'Kakuzu and Hidan. Also known as the immortal brothers. Interestingly they brought a third member along with them. It seems that Zetsu has come out in the open' Naruto thought to himself as he silently hopped branch to branch keeping an eye on them.

'It seems they are taking more precautions with the disappearance of Kisame; they are more on edge. This could be a good opportunity to take three more members out of the game, smirking slightly at the thought he planned in his head.

The Akatsuki trio had been walking through the forest at a leisurely pace as one of the members was praising and talking about his god Jashin meanwhile the other two were walking silently. Kakuzu felt at unease with the current situation as they made their way towards the last known location of Kisame. Their leader had told him to go find the shark-like man since he reported into the group he was in trouble and then he went silent ever since then.

For zetsu the being could tell that Kakuzu felt at unease even with his beady green eyes he could see the slight twitch in his body language and the being felt himself being on the same wavelength as his partner meanwhile the other one almost seemed he couldn't read the atmosphere.

"Kakuzu have you collected any more bounties for the Akatsuki?" White Zetsu spoke up while the impassive immortal puppet looked in the plant-like direction.

"I have. Time is money and I will always have time for money. I have gathered numerous S-rank ninja bounties and some A-rank." The immortal spoke as they ignored Hidan with his tirade.

"Hidan. Be on guard, something doesn't feel right about this mission we were tasked. Kisame would have reported immediately. Something doesn't add up" Kakuzu said in his deep voice.

"Alright! Jashin-sama I will FEED YOU WITH SACRIFICES!" He cackled manically and spun his scythe.

"…" was all the other two said as they shook their heads at the antics of the immortal jashin servant.

As they were walking out of the thickly covered forest not knowing that someone was hot on their tails and watching them from above, they exited the forest opening to a large open place. They looked around keeping themselves on guard for any sudden movements or ambush as they kept walking forwards in the clearing.

One second was a quiet and the next second there was a sound of something piercing through the sky that it made a slight humming sound and then the next thing they two immortal members was a large shark like sword coming at them like a sniper rifle as the two ducked down Zetsu wasn't so lucky the blade had punctured from his back all the way through his heart causing him to freeze and look up at the direction where the sword came from before dropping down to the ground dead.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?" Hidan shouted as he watched the plant man get impaled on the sword like a teriyaki on a stick. The sword was embedded in the ground and the body was on his knees but hanged there.

"Isn't that Kisame's sword?" Hidan shouted at his partner to which said partner looked over at the sword and saw that it was Kisame's sword.

"Hmm. It seems that Kisame is truly dead if someone has claimed his sword. Come out come out wherever you're hiding" Kakuzu spoke with such venom in his voice as he and Hidan looked around the area.

Then suddenly a figure appeared in black flames. Wearing a battered and used Akatsuki cloak, wearing a black lower oni mask with white pearly teeth and some blood splatter on the lengthened teeth. His face was hidden by his straw hat, but his piercing blue sapphire eyes shined in the darkness of his hat. He was wearing black cargo pants that had a kunai pack strapped on his left leg and had black combat boots.

"Kakuzu and Hidan, also known as the immortal duo from the Akatsuki who focus on gathering bounties for the cause. Tch, then there's the pesticide Zetsu who was your spy and able to disappear underground and split into two. Unfortunately, he's dead as you can see. Oh, did I forget to say that your colleague Kisame has gone M.I.A" Ōtakemaru spoke up in his low voice as he studied over the imposing figures.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU KID?!" Hidan screamed at the assailant who had just ambushed them.

Kakuzu stayed quiet as he let his eyes look over the person who had been tracking them for a while. He felt something odd as his threads seemed to be on guard which has never happened before, so he kept analysing the person.

"Well, I'm Ōtakemaru and that's the last thing you'll ever know. '' The figure smirked under his mask as he recalled samehada as it disappeared in his seal that was on his left wrist.

LINEBREAK

The large Konoha team had all just met up at the front gates of the village and made a quick inventory check and made sure that they all knew the plan and were on the same page before departing towards the last known location that three Akatsuki members were seen.

Izumo and Kotetsu were both bewildered as they looked at the large ninja squad that the hokage had gathered as Jiraiya showed them the paper for their mission. Never had either of the gate guards ever seen a squad this big be sent out for a mission. Not even for escorting the daimyo included this many ninjas which put them on guard.

"This must be really serious if the hokage is sending you guys out there especially if you have such heavy hitters and powerful people going with you" Izumo spoke curiously at the answer.

"Including the fact that you have an ANBU squad including the commander with you as well…what's going on Jiraiya" Kotetsu finished off.

Jiraiya looked at him with a steely gaze and sighed softly. "Investigating the probability that the Akatsuki is in the land of fire and going to recruit someone for us. To be honest I'm not sure if we are all going to survive this should it end up going wrong" he grimaced and shook his head at the thought.

"You're joking right? You're the legendary sannin! And don't get me started about having the ANBU commander along with the clan heads and the- "he was instantly cut off by the toad sannin.

"Look guys. The person we are going for is the highest ranking in the bingo book. Not like your ordinary S-rank missing-nin. No, this person has killed kages, Daimyō's and hundreds of S ranking missing-nins and he also killed the old Mizukage which was I say a jinchuriki. So, the probability of us surviving if this person feels threatened is probably 20 percent chance of living. Also, we must fight three Akatsuki members as well so that could hurt us as well.`` Jiraiya would never admit it, but this felt uneasy. Having to go against these powerful people made him take this seriously.

The two guards nodded solemnly and understood that this could go wrong but they believed in the squad as they all left and started to jump in the trees and the others ran on the ground.

The six squads that were chosen for this mission were quiet as some of them were hopping in the trees above them while the other half were running down below using their sensor to detect any other people in the area they were travelling through. They had already been running for a couple hours and they had just reached the outskirts of the fire border as it was the afternoon. They had just reached Tanzaku town which reminded him of Tsunade and Shizune before he found them in the land of tea. They had stopped two times during their travelling and kept their attention on high alert whenever they went. It would be terrible if they were caught slacking and didn't want that to happen. There was small talk occasionally and as they had reached Tanzaku Town they eased their aggressive speeding and were talking between each other.

The leaders of the squads all conversed with each other on what the next step was to see if anyone knew if they saw any of the figures that came by. The group split up in the squads as they asked many of the townspeople if they saw any figures of their description. It was only just after lunchtime that they all met up at a busy restaurant as they all ordered some food and began discussing.

"Did anyone get any answers? Or at least a lead on any of the people" Tsume spoke up as she sipped on her tea.

"Nothing," Yamato spoke up.

"Same here," Tsume replied.

"Nothing here" Gai said as well, a little bit dejected at the fact they had found no solid evidence or leads.

Shibi shook his head indicating that he got nothing even as he dispersed his bugs to check for any chakra in the vicinity, but it seems like they had masked everything.

Then suddenly Jiraiya came into the building in a hurry as he looked for the large group and quickly walked up to them. They all stood on guard well then jounin and higher ups the others were a bit distracted in their own conversations except for Neji, Shikamaru and Shino who paid attention to their elders.

"I've got a lead," the toad sannin said. Which made everyone look hopeful that they could go on with the search.

"Two bounty collectors had stopped by at two different intervals as of yesterday. He said the first bounty collector was wearing a black cloak that had red clouds. His companions wore the same thing. The first one looked tall and had stitches all over his body, his eyes were green and wore a mask and some sort of hat to cover any of his other features. He wore a waterfall hitatie." He spoke in an inside voice as the others listened carefully to the information.

"It seems we're going up against the immortal brothers" Asuma spoke up as he washed his cigarette which caused everyone to look at him confused.

"What?" Kakashi spoke up as he looked at his comrade with his lone eye.

"Kakuzu was the first person that Jiraiya described and if I'm right his partner is Hidan. We've had a run in with them before and it wasn't pretty, but we were able to retreat back to Konoha. The reason they are known as the immortal brothers is because they pretty much are. Kakuzu uses masks from different elements and consumes his foes' organs and hearts while Hidan is part of the Jashin cult." He said in his gruffy voice before coughing into his hand.

The whole group let the information sink in and sat in silence before Jiraiya spoke up about the second hunter.

"Ōtakemaru was here and he's a regular customer to this vendor apparently but he only appears at night with his bounties. It seems that he was tracking down the other people because he asked the guy and then gave him some money for the information before leaving. That means that was not too far fr- "his speech was stopped when the whole group felt a massive spike of four chakras being spilled out. Though the last chakra kept increasing and increasing past Kage level.

The group instantly got up and picked up all their equipment and left the establishment to track down on the spike of chakra as they left a massive wad of cash for the place for the food and drinks. The ANBU and Jounins gauged on the chakra levels and could feel that two of them were S-rank and that they were honed and very sharp meanwhile the last one was what put them into a state of fear as it kept growing. That was their target, and it didn't make it any easier for them.

Back with the Akatsuki members

Hidan and Kakuzu were in shock as their foe had chakra levels that passed their own and even surpassed their leader's one and that made them gulp in fear as their eyes widened. They were going to fight a monster and they weren't sure if they could even go toe to toe with the figure.

"SHIT, FUCK. What do we do, Kakuzu? This guy has chakra levels that surpasses our leader and any kages." Hidan spoke to his partner who was silent and staring at the figure. If they could kill this being, then Jashin would be very proud with the immensely worthy sacrifice.

No response from the puppet-like man and he launched two of his masks' elements at the figure and stood behind meanwhile Hidan started running at the figure with his scythe.

Naruto just watched impassively at the three figures approaching him. He made note of the two masks and identified that it was lighting and wind element which made him release a soft dark chuckle and looked at the oncoming figure with his large scythe ready to swing at him, meanwhile Kakuzu stood at the back looking at him intensely.

Before the two Akatsuki could even comprehend what had happened next the figure had thrown two strange looking kunai towards the mask's entities and to the Jashin pupil and disappeared in a black flash before appearing in front of two masks who looked confused at what happened and then they were slaughtered before he flashed away again appearing in front of the immortal brothers.

'Fast. He's already killed my lightning and wind mask...' Kakuzu thought and for the first time he felt fear in his body. Not even Hashirama instilled this much fear even though he barely escaped his life but in one move two of his masks were shattered.

'SHITTTT, He's fast. I can't bring my scythe up in time.' Hidan thought desperately as he felt pain in his left arm and shoulder as well as his cheek and clenched his teeth.

Naruto watched the scythe user tumble into the ground hard and blood flowing through the wounds he had just given the figure. He looked at the other member as he watched him take his cloak off revealing him in his remaining masks and calling out on them.

With the Konoha's teams

The group could feel the signature's fighting each other and for some reason they could see that two of them were starting to take a hit, meanwhile the other one felt like it was barely even touched or even sweating. They had just arrived at the end of the clearing of the forest where they could hear jutsu being used and shouting and laughter which put them on edge.

When they all stepped out the forest all they could see was a land waste of just pure destruction coming from the attacks. Craters littered the ground, scorch marks from fire jutsu's and grass still on fire, broken trees and marks of weapons being used. It was truly a battle of titans that they were stepping into. The groups carefully split into the who they were assigned with and kept their guards up and looked around the area before spotting something glinting in the sky and seeing a figure being thrown up before there was a black flash of lighting and seeing him grab the other's arm and tossing him down to the ground as the Akatsuki member crashed landed into the dirt near his companion groaning in pain as well as winded. Standing back up he collected his breath and picked up his scythe.

They saw that the two figures looked worse for wear and the third member was already dead. The other two looked worse for wear as one of them was missing his arms and had lots of cuts and his cloak looked shredded up. Meanwhile the other figure was kneeling and breathing heavily as he only had one mask left. They were losing badly and what made it worse was that the two groups did not know that this one was a blood clone, and the original was still in the trees watching the fight.

"FUCK FUCK! We need to get out of here, Kakuzu and report this to Pein." Hidan shouted frantically.

"I know but I can't hold on much any longer. He's broken the majority of my mask and I am barely holding onto the last one. We must distract him or something to get away." Kakuzu thought about Shunshin away, but he noticed that he couldn't and stared in fear.

"Hidan. We can't leave. He's blocked our ability to leave or shunshin awa- "before he could say anything else the figure flashed again and all he heard was Hidan cursing out loud as blood flew everywhere as he watched his partner's other arm be cut off precisely as his weapon dropped to the ground.

"Ah you've finally noticed huh, I've placed a seal on the both of you that negates your ability to shunshin away. That means you can't even escape from me." Ōtakemaru spoke darkly under his mask as he stared at the figures, not even sweating a bit.

The Konoha squad rushed up to them but to only feel a barrier rejecting them to even get any closer to the fight. They could only watch as the puppet man lost his last mask and hear his head being cut off from his shoulder cleanly as it rolled onto the ground. He then approached the other figure who was trying to get away only to feel something pierce his back multiple times screaming in pain.

Hidan turned around to see the figure stab him with sharp black chakra chains that shot out from the ground as well as wood pillars shooting towards him and wrapping him up as he tried to desperately get out of the bind but only felt his head being removed from his shoulder and shouted at the figure.

"I WILL GET REVENGE ON YOU BRAT! JASHIN-SAMA WILL REBORN ME AND I'LL COME FOR YOU FUCKER" He foamed in his mouth as blood caked his body.

The Konoha team could only stare in shock as the beheaded figure could still speak as his body laid on the floor. They had watched their target aimlessly take down two Akatsuki members without blowing any steam. It was so flawless how he attacked them and the precision with each strike with his attacks and weapons. The figure picked up the dead body of Kakuzu and sealed it into a scroll along with his head and sealed the scroll away in his body. He then walked up to the figure swearing at him and exclaiming about Jashin and his leader.

Picking out a special scroll that would make the user become unconscious he sealed the head in and then the two severed arms and then his whole body before sealing the scroll onto his body again. Wiping his bloodied swords with the corner of his used Akatsuki cloak he disabled the barrier surrounding the two groups. Picking up Hidan's weapon he strapped it on his back and then his dual katanas that would make anyone jealous to have it disappeared into its seal before he walked

They all walked near to the figure as they watched him seal away the bodies of the wanted nins and then took a step back as they watched him reach the dead plant like figure and severing the head and repeating the process he had done. The group were looking around the place and Anko whistled slowly, impressed with the damage and the sole survivor of this battle.

The figure had stopped sealing all the items and then decided to address the elephant in the room as he turned around and all the people were surprised. They all assessed the figure and saw that he was around 5'7 and seemed to be quite young as they guessed he looked around 16-17 years old. They couldn't see his face but only his bright sapphire eyes as the figure looked at them and tilted its head.

The atmosphere was intense as they all watched the figure analyse them and the others had a hand on their respective weapons or were looking around the area before Yamato telling the group to relax but also keep their guards up. Steeling his nerves at the imposing he walked up at an appropriate distance.

"Konoha ninjas. What do you want from me?" Ōtakemaru spoke up in his teenager voice causing them to be on guard slightly not expecting him to sound young.

"Hai Ōtakemaru-san, we were sent by our hokage about three Akatsuki members that were near the border. Our second objective was from a personal request by the hokage to recruit you and bring you back to the village." Yamato spoke up as he looked at the figure who was seen thinking about the idea but smirked under his oni mask.

"And what is your name?" He spoke softly looking at the person he was conversing with.

"M-my name?" Yamato's voice wavered slightly before he brought back his composure; this made everyone else become more aware and watched sharply at the missing-nin.

"Yes. I'd like to know who I am conversing with." The figure replied quickly without any sign of hostility in his tone.

"Ah my name is Yamato, Ōtakemaru-san" Yamato gave a slight smile to the figure feeling himself become anxious.

"Nice to meet you Yamato-san. Impressive squad that your hokage called upon." He looked around and saw Shizune and smiled inwardly which meant his mother must either be head of the hospital or that she was the current hokage. He gave a slight nod at Shizune who smiled briefly before looking away causing some to look at her strangely.

"Asuma Sarutobi. Rank Jonin and Team 10 sensei which includes Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi. You were part of Twelve Guardian Ninja. Then there's Jiraiya. One out of the three legendary sannin who taught Minato Namikaze. You are the toad sannin and the writer for Icha Icha and hold one of the most advanced spy networks for your information to report to the Hokage. Next, Ibiki Morino ranks Tokubetsu Jonin, you are the head of the T&I division in Konoha. Kurenai Yuuhi also known as the ice queen in Konoha or shall I say the genjutsu mistress. Current sensi for team 8 which include Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. Rank as well Jonin. Then we move onto Anko Mitarashi who was the apprentice of Orochimaru before he betrayed you and placed the cursed seal on you. Rank Tokubetsu Jonin and hold the snake contract, heh." He spoke softly but loudly in his teenager voice causing them to be surprised at the amount of information he had known about the jonins but didn't stop.

"Then we have Yuago Uzuki, Rank ANBU. Also known as Neko. You are an ANBU captain and the kenjutsu specialist in Konoha. You lost your lover Hayate during the chunin exams where Suna and Oto invaded your place. Might Gai is one of ninja's I respect because of your determination and to keep going on. You are the Taijutsu specialist and known as Konoha's green beast and can open the eight gates. You are the sensei for your team that includes Neji Hyuga, Tenten and Lee. You trained Lee the same way you did because you believed in him even if he couldn't do genjutsu or ninjutsu. Lastly but not least with the Jonins we have the infamous Kakashi Hatake the son of the white fang. You were a prodigy after hearing about what happened to your father Sakumo who committed suicide. You were taught by Minato Namikaze. You were given Obito's sharingan that later turned into the Mangekyou Sharingan due to the fact you killed Rin. You then moved to ANBU and were partners with Itachi Uchiha. You are also the sensei of team 7 along with Yamato. You are known as Kakashi the copy ninja.

Then we move onto the clan heads, which surprises me that you guys were even deployed but I guess with my name in the bingo book it makes sense. We have Tsume Inuzuka who is the matriarch of the Inuzuka clan and her children are Kiba and Hana Inuzuka who is also in the ANBU codename Hound. Then we have Shibi Aburame the head of the Aburame clan who allows the hive to live in their bodies which makes them an outcast in Konoha, you are also the father of Shino Aburame. Moving onto Shikaku Nara, the clan head of the Nara clan and married to Yoshino Nara. You were the jonin commander of Konohagakure and known as the strategist. Your son is Shikamaru Nara who makes the next generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio." Smirking inwardly, he could already see the tension become thicker and people becoming antsy.

'How the hell does he know all of this information?' Jiraiya thought to himself as he was pale at the amount of information the kid knew by not even meeting them. Not even the bingo book holds most of that information.

'Naruto…you sneaky man. I am interested in who else you know. Your mother is going to freak out when she finds out you revealed the names of the ANBU's' Shizune shuddered at the anger that his mother will put on him.

Ōtakemaru felt a slight shiver go down his spine and thought quietly to himself.

'Maybe I shouldn't have revealed the names of people in ANBU. I'm totally fucked.' He thought in his head that even the Kyuubi cringed.

'WTF?' went through everyone else's minds as their target revealed sensitive information all about themselves.

"Well then, we have the future generation here. Interesting I must say and all of you are chunin rank. Sakura Haruno the daughter of one of the civilian heads Mebuki Haruno. Disgusting one I must outright hate and abuse a CHILD THAT HAD NO CONTROL IN WHAT THEY WERE DEALT WITH" His voice snarled deeply causing everyone to become panicked as they felt the wave of pure killing intent slowly building up. Sakura looked down in shame as tears trickled down her face.

"Now the apprentice of Tsunade Senju and learning how to become a medic ninja after all you were a big fangirl about the arrogant Uchiha and never took your training seriously as the same goes with the Yamanaka and that leaves us with an ANBU squad of the commander with his presence. Finally, Yamato. You are a member of ROOT who were tested by Danzo and Orochimaru and were given Mokuton as an ability through the experiments. It's a very interesting day but enough of that, what does Konoha need for my services" Ōtakemaru said in his serious voice.

The silence and tension were palpable now with sensitive information given like it was nothing they couldn't help but feel very much intimidated especially with that small leak of KI they all felt made then on-guard and that was probably only 5 percent of it. The fact he only seemed young like the chunnins threw them off.

"Ho-how do you know all this information about Konoha? It's very sensitive and kept guarded" Yamato spoke as he felt slightly ill at the fact an enemy knew everything about them.

"That's only scratching the surface we have barely delved into the depths of what Konoha has done boy. I know things that are so dark with what your village has done, especially with Uzu. No, we are not here to talk about that. If I'm right you're Hokage is now Tsunade Senju who is the last survivor of the Senju clan. It's incredible what you can do with a high-class spy network that can hide in plain sight and get information from the right vendors or even the bingo book." Speaking calmly, he gave them an intense look that almost made the chunnins shit themselves.

"At ease. You have gained my attention and we both came for a similar group of people. Not only that I do hate having to put you on guard like that. I have used enough chakra as it seems, and I do not wish to fight anymore at the current moment. So, what is it that the hokage sent such a large group? Surely it must be important." Tilting his head slightly and scratching his head gently.

Yuago stepped up as she looked at the man and shuddered. "She told us it was private,but wishes to talk to you and will allow you to go should you wish too." Looking at the man with soft eyes the blue eyes looking at her gave her a warm emotion which made her gasp softly as she recognised those blue eyes.

'Na-naru…naruto. You're safe,' Yuago thought as tears threatened to leave her eyes as she stared at the boy who gave her an eye smile.

Hearing that it was private made him shake his head and smile fondly under his mask as he thought about his mother and reuniting with her made him have this blossoming feeling in his chest. His mother…was safe and sound and she was a leader which made him snort in his mind as a lone tear travelled down his cheek. To be honest he was going to sneak back to Konoha and into the Senju compound sooner or later, but he always had time for his family, and he loved his mother and big sister with all his heart. He misses his friends and saw them grow up strong and it made him proud.

Nodding sagely at the thought before speaking up to the large force he looked at them and smirked at what was going to happen next which will throw them in for a loop.

"I assume this is important and will comply with it. I will come along with you; at the same time, I will protect you guys when we travel but at the same time act as if you found nothing which will throw everyone off about my whereabouts. I'll mask my chakra signature and my presence and put myself under a very powerful henge and genjutsu and travel in the middle of the pack." He spoke like a true commander and leader which surprised with the authority tone but nodded, nonetheless.

Everyone released a breath that they were all holding a breath that they didn't know as their target agreed to come back with them. This was because even if they had large numbers, they wouldn't stand a chance against someone who was nearly a master in all areas and the fact he even suggested hiding his presence when travelling with them showed that he could kill them in a blink of an eye. But before they could go, they heard something whizzing all the way to the Ōtakemaru position.

"WATCH OUT!" Kakashi yelled out but it was too late to warn the figure as a massive sword that was wrapped in bandages and had a mouth at the end of the sword pierced the figure which exploded in blood in front of them as they stared in horror.

Before they could even react, black flames appeared behind the sword as the flames died down, they could only stare agape at the figure standing right in front of them was the real deal. He stood at 6'4 with big muscles that weren't overly large like the Raikage but they were toned and the rest of his body showed that it seemed like he was sculpted by the gods themselves. He wasn't like the size of a bodybuilder that had obnoxiously large muscles but instead more of an athlete build. He was wearing a cloak that looked like the Akatsuki, his blonde locks flowed in front of his hitate that had the Senju symbol on the metal plate and the cloth was a silky blue. The back of his hair was braided tightly, he had the scythe set on his back before slipping the sword on the other spot as they create an 'x' look. He had slightly tanned skin and was wearing an oni mask that was pitch black but pearly white teeth. He had black ANBU cargo pants on and black combat boots and they could see numerous tattoos covering his arms as well as seals on his body. They could feel the density of his chakra and nearly lost it. It was twice the size of a kage and sannin in fact it seemed like it didn't stop.

This could only mean one thing to them. This was the true Ōtakemaru and what they just saw fighting was a blood clone fighting the two members of Akatsuki that produced kage level chakra. It was a smart move because if they knew the real one then everyone would know a lot of things about him but the fact that not even the bingo book could get it right showed how it only scratched the surface and would throw anyone in the loop. They noticed around his neck there was a necklace that looked similar to their hokage's but it was a light blue crystal instead. The scary thing is that they could almost taste the chakra from him, and he could see that Shizune was in tears seeing her little brother for the first time in a while and gave a secretive wave to the medic who smiled happily. All the other girls were blushing intensely at the figure and looked away meanwhile Kurenai, Anko, Yuago and Tsume were gazing hungrily at the figure.

'Grrrr…now that's a true alpha there' Tsume and Hana thought as she let her eyes roam around the figure.

'Mama likey. Me wants' Anko thought as she licked her lips as her eyes hinted a bit of lust in them.

'DAMN. YOU FINE PIECE OF MEAT' Kurenai and Yuago thought.

'THAT'S THE GAKI?! FUCKING HELL' Jiraiya's eyes bugged out of his head as he stared his teammates son.

'FUCKING HELL' everyone else thought and sweat dropped at the entrance and the figure.

"Shall we get going? We could make it back to Konoha if we speed through and I have some shortcuts to Konoha'' Naruto smirked at the gobsmacked looks of everyone and chuckled as his sapphire eyes shined with mischief as he winked at the genjutsu mistress as she noticed he had a genjutsu on him. He waved at them all before masking his existence and henged himself as an ANBU operative as they started to get out from the warzone.

Everyone else could only stare dumbly as they watched him in astonishment disappearing in plain daylights as he ran with the ANBU as they all started to get going to head back home.

"THAT'S HIM?! Holy shit. We would've been absolutely fucked if we had to go against him and that was only a clone in his place fighting two S-ranked ninjas?! We would've been toasted even with his clone. The fact he's able to hide his exact presence is…." Anko couldn't finish his sentence since she was too shocked.

"To think not only was he able to create a blood clone in his place but to give it kage level chakra and beat the immortal brothers from the organisation is another thing but to be able to evade the bingo book people is another thing especially this. This information would be so valuable but no one else knows about this and will always underestimate him. That's a whole different kind of shinobi we've witnessed and in the presence of." Asuma spoke in shock as he exhaled some smoke from his cigarette.

In true Nara fashion the two boys could only say "That's so troublesome" the father and son duo spoke up.

They all started to leave the area at high speeds with all these thoughts surrounding their minds and wanting to get back to their homes as soon as possible. They did stop to eat and wander a bit in a small village for their break.

LINE BREAK LINE BREAK

They had been running at their max for about 3-4 hours as they had finally started to see the familiar path towards their home and smiled at seeing it. Naruto smiled at the nostalgic feeling of the path but put it to the side as he continued to jump from branch to branch before dropping to the ground where they saw the guards standing next to the gate waiting for any teams to come back. They had just reached the village when the sun was starting to set and the newly chunnins were panting hard as they walked the rest of the way, meanwhile the others were just fine as they came to the guards.

"Squad 1-5 including ANBU team returning back from their mission requested by the hokage" Jiraiya spoke up to the guards who asked for their pass to tick them off on the clipboard and allowed them through.

Naruto smirked as he let his ANBU henge to disperse as he now stood at his true height as he looked at the two guards who stared back at him and gulped and asked for his name.

"I was requested by the hokage to come here, and this is the team that were sent out to get me. If you want to know I am Ōtakemaru, you can find me in the bingo book if that helps." Speaking up as they just dumbly nodded and watched his figure walk into the streets of the village.

The secretary that was filling in for Shizune who had gone ahead with the team had rushed upstairs towards the Hokages door as she knocked on it frantically which the busty blonde heard and told her to come in.

"Tsunade-sama, the team that you sent out has just arrived and is waiting to come in" the young woman spoke nervously.

"Thank you, Mikari, please tell them that they can come in." Tsunade spoke softly as she nursed a drink quickly before making sure she was presentable, but she was getting a little tired but also felt nervous. She had no idea why she was so nervous, but she contributed to seeing her son after so long. She was happy that the team had made it back safely and without any casualties.

All six squads that were sent out filed into the office meanwhile Ōtakemaru went to the bathroom before he joined them so it was only the squads that were in the room for the moment. The secretary bowed before leaving the room frantically as she made it halfway round the corner she bumped to a very tall figure and paled as she looked up at how intimidating he looked and started to stutter and clench her eyes closed as she feared for her safety.

Naruto looked down at the person who accidentally bumped into him as she looked like she was going to have a nervous breakdown.

"Are you alright?" He spoke softly as he bent down to her level as he held a hand out for her to grab.

"I-i-im f-fine th-thank you" she stuttered out loud as she took his hand to which he gently pulled her up from the ground and helped pick up some papers and hand them back to her.

"Hope I didn't hurt you! Keep doing a good job!" He smiled again under his mask and she stared at the Shinobi softly.

"Tha-thank you ninja-san" she squeaked out.

Laughing softly he shook his head and patted the woman's head softly in a friendly manner which caused said woman to pout.

"No need to thank me. I'm sure you're just getting used to seeing different Shinobis and working for the hokage who has a mean temper. Just keep doing what you do and always ask for help if you need it and call me Ōtakemaru" Naruto spoke ever so kindly in a warm tone which caused the woman to bow her head down and blush slightly.

"Arigatou Ōtakemaru-san" she said softly before walking back on her path as he giggled softly.

Meanwhile in the office

"Report" Tsunade spoke firmly as she paid attention to everyone as they all looked at each other.

The ANBU commander stepped up as he began his report.

"We reached Tanzuka Town just at lunchtime and then asked the locals if they noticed any of the figures that came past the town to which we got no leads or information. Jiraiya came back as he met a bounty vendor that spoke about seeing two groups of bounty hunters that came to see him. We then learned that the two akatsuki members were Hiram and Kakuzu also known as the immortal brothers and the other figure that came to him in the evening was the Ōtakemaru. He mentioned that they both stayed in the town for the night before they would depart the following day which was when we arrived." The commander recounted what happened in the earlier afternoon as the hokages eyes narrowed before she allowed him to continue on.

"We then felt three chakra spikes in the vicinity which were definitely the three of them although the other was beyond words I can say…it was immense hokage-sama. Ōtakemaru chakra was beyond Kage level and no offense cleared all three sannin's levels.

'How strong are you Sochi…that's incredible in that amount of time…' Tsunade thought softly to herself as the commander continued on.

"When we arrived to edge of the forest of tanzuka town the whole place was levelled and there makes and blood everywhere. We heard voices up ahead and immediately went on guard as we approached the fight we saw near us another akatsuki that was already dead. He looked like a plant-like human that was half white and black. We assumed he was dead before we even got there and the vendor didn't notice any third akatsuki memeber when they collected a bounty." He shivered involuntarily as he looked at the dead member.

Jiraiya then spoke up to clear the confusion up to her which she thanked him for.

"The dead member was called Zetsu and he was the akatsukis spy member and according to Ōtakemaru he could teleport and travel underground and hide his presence. He can also split into two halves so that's how the akatsuki were able to gather so much information and slip past most villages defences undetected." Jiraiya spoke like an ANBU did which surprised a lot of people.

"Upon seeing the fight we saw the U-rank min throw down one of the others into the ground. He flawlessly battled the both of them without making himself sweat as he cut off both Hidan's arms and destroyed Kakuzu's last mask before he beheaded the both of them. He sealed all of their bodies and took their rings. He placed the Jashin pupil in a special scroll that put them unconscious in the scroll. He then put the other body near us in a scroll and sealed his head as well.

After that he looked at us and scanned all of us and what scared us, Hokage-sama. He was able to tell us apart and spoke about such sensitive information that wasn't even leaked out from the village. For Christ's sake he was able to see who was behind each ANBU mask and I'm sure he was going to do the same with my squad and myself but didn't." He said nervously and gulped down some spit that was stuck in his throat at what just said and paled as he watched. Splinter marks and the sound of wood cracking as the hokage with her infamous strength.

'THAT BRAT! I DONT GIVE A DAMN IF YOU ARE A MISSING NINJA OR THE BEST YOU DON'T DO THAT' her inner self roared out in anger as she shook in her chair holding the table.

Ōtakemaru could only shiver in recoil in fear at the wrath of his mother and could only whine in his head. He was making his way to the door as he could hear the leaders reporting to their leader.

'I should've definitely not said or revealed ANBU's real identity. Fuck' he thought to himself and whined even more.

'NAARUTTOOOOOOOOOOO-KUNNN WHYYYYY! We're GOING TO GET FUCKING PUMMELED. YOU BAKAA!' Akane cried in his mind as he sweatdropped.

The two of them had just finished reporting their mission and told her that they had recieved the client as well as shocking her that a blood clone defeated the two Akatsuki members with ease and that the real one was hiding in the trees masking his whole presence.

Getting all her thoughts settled she nodded and smiled to see the mission was a success but didn't know whether to dismiss them or not with what's going to happen next but she'll let it play it out but will give these people a deathly warning should they cross her. She gave her trademark cruel smirk which instantly made everyone on edge and pale as they all gulped.

"Good job on both missions today. I will pay you as a SS-rank. It should come into your accounts within a day or so. Now could you tell me where the client is?" She spoke up causing everyone to wince at telling her they didn't know.

Luckily the toad sannin is one of those people who can think on their feet and his time came to shine.

"He said he'll be there soon and needed to go stop by the toilet or quickly do an errand but he should be here any second, hime" he said to his teammate.

Sighing softly she stood up and walked to the front of the desk and slightly sat on the edge of the desk as she looked at the door with a keen eye as she thought of what she was going to say. She seemed a bit fidgety as she was going to see Sochi again and get to hold him in her arms. As she kept an impassive face and holding back her tears she heard the doorknob start to twist and heard a click sound.

*Cue Heat Waves by Glass Animals*

🎶 You can't fight it, You can't breathe, You say something so loving, but now I've got to let it go, you'll be better off in someone new🎶

As the door opened she held her breath in as she could feel the tears threatening to roll down her cheek as her hands shake in her lap. Everyone looks on guard as they see her become slightly agitated, meanwhile Jiraiya just gives her a soft smile and Shizune gives her an encouraging smile.

🎶I don't wanna be alone, you know it hurts me too🎶

As the figure stepped through the door she could only gasp loudly as she watched her Sochi come in as her hands flew up to cover her mouth. She had tears slowly dripping down her cheeks as she analysed her son. This was her own flesh and blood walking through the door all the dreams she wished to see her son again. This was her Naruto, he grew up into a beautiful man with his Adonis athlete body and giving off a powerful aura but a chakra that exuded calmness and warmth and sharpness. His blonde hair was slightly blonder but she saw he wore a half oni mask and wore proudly the senju hitate she had given him a long time ago. His hair was braided and those beautiful beautiful blue sapphire eyes. However she noticed he had a genjutsu on him which piqued her interest.

Naruto stared impassively in the room as he saw that everyone was still in there waiting for him to come in as he made eye contact with his nee-Chan he nodded softly to which she gave him a beautiful smile. His eyes then swept around the room before they landed on his mother who was quivering on the desk with her hands over her mouth.

🎶You look so broken when you cry, one more time and then I'll say goodbye.🎶

He could feel his emotions surfacing full force as he looked at his mother who was crying silently as her body shook and it made his heart break as he felt his tears threaten to leave his eyes as he stood there. Both of them looked at each other softly as they tried to keep their pent up emotions.

Everyone except Yugao, Shizune and Jiraiya starred in bewilderment at the two figures. What could make the two powerhouses reduce to tears and have emotions this raw appear on their faces. For the two Nara's they noticed the figure had a similar necklace to the hokage and then the fact he wore a senju hitate and the fact he left with them without making a move and now they are both nearly reduced to tears. It all then finally clicked in both of the guys' minds and looked at each other.

"Troublesome..I can't believe it" Shikaku and Shikamaru came to the same conclusion which drawed the attention of the group to them. While they just shook their heads and shrugged them off, it was between the two of them. They'll find out in a second.

"Hello Kaa-san" Naruto spoke softly with a slight quiver in his voice as he allowed a single tear trail down his tanned cheek.

"S-sochi…my little sunshine" she spoke brokenly as the dam burst open as her voice broke as tears poured down her face as she reached out with her hands as they shook.

Flashbacks happened in her mind as she looked at her boy remembering all those moments when he was only a baby and toddler where she would cuddle him and kiss his bobos, read him books and teach him small jutsu's, go on walks and play in the playground, hearing his first words and going to class sometimes, eating together with Shizune, going shopping and him walking around while holding her hand as he babbled about with her causing her to laugh.

🎶 Sometimes, all I think about you, Sometimes, all I think about is you,

Late nights in the middle of June, Heat waves been faking me out,

Can't make you happier now, Sometimes, all I think about is you🎶

And then the memories where she lost her son because she couldn't handle her grief and everything going on as she gambled and remembering when Shizune told her that her son was missing. She remembered the night she cried brokenly as she tried to desperately find his chakra signature but to no avail she couldn't get a scent or feel of it. Remembering when Shizune had to bring her back to the house and take care of her when she was broken and cried herself to sleep saying her sochi's name over and over again.

The countless nights she had to sleep wondering where her son was and if he was safe and sound. The nights where she wished she was in bed with her son snuggling into her as she hummed him a bedtime song or would read a book.

🎶Late nights in the middle of June

Heat waves been faking me out

Can't make you happier now🎶

Her mind was overloaded with memories of them together and how she would watch over him whenever they went out or try to get him to eat his vegetables, trying new foods and going swimming. She remembers when she saw the first time he cried for his mommy when he had a nightmare and held onto her like a lifeline.

But now. He was right in front of her with his own tears slipping down his face as he stared back at her with such love and emotion as he inches forward to her. It almost felt like it was in slow motion as if her dream was nearly there and hoping to kami that it wasn't a genjutsu or some sick trick but it wasn't.

🎶I just wonder what you're dreaming of

When you sleep and smile so comfortable

I just wish that I could give you that🎶

It seemed like forever for the both of them but when he closed the distance and walked into the awaiting arms of his mothers embrace he wrapped his arms around her as she cried loudly against his chest and kept whispering 'my Sochi…my beautiful baby boy is so grown up.' Or 'I'm so sorry..I'm so sorry Sochi for'. Holding her strongly as he rested his chin on her head kissed her head and rubbed up and down her back softly as he let his tears fall down.

Everyone else including the ANBU as they were taught to keep their emotions at bay whenever they were on duty or on missions. Could only stare dumbfounded at what had just been said from the two imposing figures.

'HE'S HER SON?! WHAT THE FUCK!' Was the collective thoughts of everyone there.

'Hokage-sama had a son….what' The ANBU commander could only just about comprehend.

Anko and the other girls in the group were just in a state of pure shock as the person they have a crush on was not only a U-rank ninja but was also the busty blonde's son.

She looked up to her son as her eyes were red and puffy as his was as well she reached her hands up as she placed them on his cheek as he instinctively leaned into the touch. She gave a watery smile as both hands went around unlatched the clips that held the mask and carefully took it off his face.

He gave her a soft smile as she saw the whisker marks on his face and gently caressed them in a motherly fashion as tears kept running down their faces. She pressed her face against his chest again as a fresh batch of tears came out as she sobbed loudly holding him tightly as he did the same but ever so gently held him close as he used on hand to clip the mask on the side of his pants. He motioned to Shizune to join which she didn't need to be told.

"Otouto…" Shizune cried as she too buried her face against his ribs as he held onto two of the most important people in his life as they all cried softly.

The people in the room could only watch the scene with rapt attention and the girls were tearing up at such a beautiful reunion between family and could only coo at them all as the others just gave a soft smile.

"I lo-love yo-you so much, Sochi. I always did and never stopped. I tried to look for you whenever I could when Shizune woke me up to reality…but I finally have you back. I have my Sochi back here" she cried out desperately as she spoke brokenly.

"We missed you, my little fish cake of a brother" Shizune spoke ever so softly which made him give a beautiful laugh.

"I love you too kaa-san and nee-chan. So so much and I'm now back here with you like I promised" he said softly as the tears started to slow down.

"Naru?" Tsunade spoke quietly as she looked at her son who looked at her with puffy eyes and tilted his head to the side.

"Yes, ma?" He responded softly.

"Why can I feel a genjutsu on your right now?" Looking at his pleading mothers eyes and his older sister's puppy eyes he melted instantly and sighed.

The rest could only gape at the fact even in this form he was, somehow he still had a genjutsu but neither of them could pick it out but Kurenai picked it up back in the clearing and he even winked at her for spotting it out.

As he looked back at those broken honey brown eyes he kissed her forehead softly making her smile. Gently he whispered/muttered under his breath 'Kai' and now stood at 6'6 but now instead of the almost darker blonde hair he had the same blonde as Tsunade had and what shook everyone else was that his right eye was the sharingan but it wasn't just the sharingan it was the eternal manegkyo sharingan.

"No way.,..he's obtained the eternal mangekyo sharingan…that's.." Kakashi breathed out causing everyone's breath to be hitched.

They saw the infamous eternal manegkyo sharingan in his eye as it represented the similarity to madaras version as his other eye was just the normal sapphire colour. Tsunade just smiled softly as she caressed her son's cheeks and placed a kiss on his forehead.

The teams could only stare dumbfounded that the most dangerous missing-nin was the one and only senjus son. What made it even more confusing was the fact he had the sharingan so either he implanted them or his heritage meant he was part of the uchiha clan.

The girls could only blush and gasp in awe at the man while the males in the room stood rigid. The bingo book didn't mention anything about what stage he achieved the last stage of the sharingan that would cause immense pain. It dawned on them that no one actually knew about his true prowess and that scared them, even unsettling the Sannin and ANBU commanders.

"You guys are dismissed and can take a few days for yourselves. But I digress you must not let this get out in public therefore I'm making it a SS-rank secret until I find it appropriate to release this information. If I find you-" she was cut off by a kunal whizzing past her head as it embedded itself in the left corner by the table.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT! BRAT ARE YOU TRYING TO" she was stopped when her son pointed at the corner seeing a ANBU dropping to the floor with the kunai in the centre of his mask. It seemed to have the name "ROOT" on the mask which raised everyone's nerves.

"Seems like Danzo hasn't changed and is still trying to undermine you, mother." He spoke coldly which made everyone flinched before he told them that was the only one.

"…." Was all that was said in the room before everyone filed away from the heartwarming reunion.

Seeing that everyone left and it was only Shizune and Tsunade she was brought into a warm embrace as she latched onto him.

"Shhh, kaa-san. It's okay I'm here. I'm back and I'm not going anywhere except for when you send me out for missions." He spoke tenderly to his mother who smiled softly.

"I love you so much my sunshine" she rested her head against his chest and just allowed the warm feeling of holding her son even if he was taller than her she still felt like he was her little boy.

Shizune had left to go get some food for them. As she left he gave his mother a mirthful eye smile which made his mother feel on guard.

"What's got you smirking like that ramen brat" she snarked out cheekily causing him to face vault onto the floor.

"Oh nothing mother" he smirked before touching a seal on his neck that popped out a bottle of sake. Now this wasn't any sake, this was one of the finest sake in the world. He got some from his summoned matriarch since they knew how much his mother loved sake.

"Would you perhaps like to have some of the finest sake?" Naruto smiled with his shit eating grin which was matched by his mother.

"I knew you were my favourite child" she spoke in glee which caused the man to sweat drop.

"I'm your only child mom" he deadpanned to which she maturely stuck her tongue out.

By the time Shizune came back to the office she could hear laughter from the two people and entered only to stare in disbelief to see sake bottles scattered in the desk and her two favourite people drunk doing charades. The both of them stumbled past Shizune as she wordlessly followed the two as they started to argue with each other only to cause to sweatdrop and scratch her head embarrassingly as people walked by.

"Ohhh look at those cute whiskers marks you have you even purr like a little kit" Tsunade slurred out as she pulled her son in a side hug as she rested her head against his shoulder smiling up at him as he blushed profusely and tried to swat the invading hands that were touching his whiskers.

"MOOOOM STAPPPHHHHHHHH! I'M NOT A KIT he pouted childishly as they walked back to the Senju compound.

"Mhmmmm sureeeeee~ you'll always be my little kit Naru-kun" she giggled as she scratched the marks to only make him hide his face with his hands.

"Not youuu tooo! Kyuubi calls me kit too!" Whining as they entered the compound with Shizune following behind, shaking her head and giggling along.

They were both holding another bottle of sake and taking large gulps from the bottle as they laughed out loud at ridiculous claims and stories before they glared at each other and then smiled.

"I missed you guys" he spoke softly as the two older women smiled warmly and hugged him as well as giving a kiss on each of his cheeks.

"We missed you too. Welcome home Naruto" Tsunade smiled happily.

They all sat down in the large and beautiful living room of the main branch compound as they talked well into the night and drank lots of sake as all three of them were wasted by the end of the night. They sang and danced with each other and continued some charades before all crashing onto the master bedroom that Tsunade slept in as she held her son closely to her while Shizune fell asleep on the sofa in the room snoring.

"Good night my sunshine" The mother whispered softly as she brushed a strand of his locks out his face as he was fast asleep.

"Goodnight kaa-san, I love you" he murmured softly before she too fell asleep blissfully having her son back.

One thing she knew was that he was going to bring hell with those who hurt his family and precious people but also the fact a mother never ever forgets about their son.

CHAPTER 1 END!

A/N

Woah finally got the start of the story done hehe! That's right I made Tsunade a Naruto's current mother which makes sense in a way! I actually enjoyed writing that and it's been an idea for so long when i was smoking and listening to the song heat Waves in my own time thinking of ideas for my RWBY stories but this sudden thought to write about a motherly fanfic for Naruto. Not only that, I understand I'm going to get a lot of shit because people are going to think Naruto is overpowered well you'll have to find later on in the coming chapters.

Yes Naruto has the sharingan and mokuton because of his ancestral line and heritage and as well being blood adopted by Tsunade. I don't know who i'll pair him with but probably along the lines of Anko/Yuago or someone else, maybe i'll make it multiple people not like a harem but maybe two or three people.

Nearly 17k words written for this first chapter OOOOOOF! That's probably the most I've written for a chapter. I believe the last highest word count was around 10-11k for my story Striped Rose.

THOSE who are waiting for the Striped Rose & The Amazing Adventures Of A Futanari Rose, they are coming ASAP. I'm just trying to figure some things out and where to place those things in said chapter or introduce it later on when the story gets more intense! I haven't forgotten about those stories nor the side stories I've written! They'll just be updated at a slower rate compared to my main stories that I've started on.

I am also thinking of writing a slightly unhinged/psychotic type of Naruto. That story was inspired by the story called 'The Bloody Leaf of Konohagakure' or along the lines of that and I loved it. I thought it'd be such an interesting story to make him insane and such a strong figure but he does have morales etc but the line is super duper thin! Or another story that I was inspired by was the one about how Naruto meets Sasori and he learns how to be him and all his techniques and kills Orochimaru when he meets up with Kabuto. It was called something about being an honest enemy and I love the cliffhanger the author put about him leaving Konoha and turning away from Ayame. Maybe i'll write something similar to that but we will see!

So many lovely ideas to think about and expand and please note I will update the chapter for any grammar mistakes!

Lastly, if you don't like it, then you can go :). You tried to enjoy it but it wasn't just for you, that's okay! I don't ever tend to follow canon for most stories I write because it's fanfic and your own inspirations although there are some events that I will follow from canon but twist to make it my own unique way.

Thank you for checking it out! Soooo sorry for making such a long first chapter but it's needed! Some of the other chapters will be slightly similar length!

PEACE OUT BEAUTIFUL READERS :D
