I don't own anything from the manga/anime Naruto. It is Masashi Kishimoto that owns Naruto. This is a fan fiction based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga and anime: Naruto. It really doesn't have much to do with the story, other than some events. Warning, does involve spoilers to things that happens in the anime and manga.

Continuation from "Hanabi's new friend"
Three dragons speed across the sky, one red, one yellow and one golden. On the golden one's neck two people stood. One of them the girlfriend of the golden dragon, the other its younger sister. Temari and Kibo watched the sunset from a rather unique position. Its not often that you get to see the sun set a couple of hundred meters above the ground.
"Hey, Temari-san. Do you see this view often?" Kibo asked. Temari turned to the girl and smiled.
"Not as often as I would like to, but often enough. Why?" she asked and Kibo shrugged.
"I just thought nii-san would take his girlfriend flying sometimes." She said and I resisted chuckling.
"Well, he does. But not always in this way." Temari said and Kibo looked confused.
"What do you mean?" she asked and Temari blushed.
"You are too young to hear that Kibo!" I said. Or growled, whatever. Temari blushed even more, Kibo looked confused while Kaji and Raimei nearly fell out of the sky, laughing.
--
After a while of silent flight, Kibo walked down from my neck and onto my nose. She sat down and faced me.
"Hey nii-san. Can I ask something?" she said.
"Yes, as long as it is not about Temari flying." I said and Kibo huffed, crossing her arms.
"I wasn't going to ask about that either. I just want to know what you are going to do with the war." She said and turned a stern glare at me.
"Ah, yes. I was wondering when that would come. Well, I am not going to do much actually.
What I have planned is for me and possibly Temari to know. But I have a job for you, my dear sister. After this visit, I want you to go back home, and when the war starts, I want you to summon your fastest dragon, and go to Konoha. When you get there, tell me about the war starting, and I will give you instructions from there. Okay?" I asked. Reluctantly Kibo nodded.
"Okay nii-san. You know best!" she said and smiled at me. I didn't answer.
Then Temari came and sat down beside Kibo.
"So, are you two finished conspiring against me?" she asked and I laughed.
"Yes…yes we are. Except if Kibo has some questions left?" I said playfully. She shook her head.
"No, I'm fine. When do we reach Konoha? I wanna see my nii-san's home." Kibo said and I laughed.
"Take it easy. We will reach Konoha soon enough. I suggest you two go to sleep, and when you wake up, we will be there." I said and Kibo nodded. She tried to make herself comfortable on my nose, but didn't exactly manage.
"Nii-san, your scales are too hard. How do you expect me to sleep here?" she said irritably and pointed to my nose.
"Um, sorry?" I said and Kibo huffed and crossed her arms.
"Not good enough. Come on, help me." She said angrily.
"Here" Temari said and dug into her backpack. She pulled out a blanket.
"Use this. I knew this would be a long trip, and Chikara's scales are hard, so I came prepared." She said and handed Kino the blanket.
"Thank you!" Kibo said, and laid down. She didn't look to comfortable, but soon enough her breath slowed down, and she was asleep. Temari sat down between my eyes. I chuckled at that and she turned around.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing, nothing." I said. Temari looked at me for a bit before she leaned back and rested between my eyes again. Soon she too was asleep, and I wrapped some chakra around her so she wouldn't be cold.
--
We arrived in Konoha later that night, but since both Kibo and Temari were sound asleep, I gently placed them on the roof and transformed back into my human self. Then I made a Kage Bunshin which picked up Kibo while I picked up Temari and carried them into the apartment, followed closely by Kaji and Raimei. Inside Kori lay in the living room. She lifted her head when we entered and nearly jumped up in delight. I stopped her and nodded my head towards the two sleeping. She nodded, walked in front of me and opened the door to my bedroom. In there I laid down both girls in my bed, tucked them in and left. In the living room, I transformed in a dragon again, although much smaller this time. I and the other three dragons curled up in the living room and fell asleep. If anyone were to look into the living room now, they would see four serpent-looking dragons a little bigger than dogs, curled up close to each other, two of them snoring, and occasionally getting kicked by a leg from the other two.
--
The next morning, I woke up by a little girl screaming and latching herself around my neck. I opened my seven pupiled eyes and looked into the hazel eyes of my daughter.
"Hello Namida-chan. Missed me?" I asked, and she nodded.
"You were gone too long." She said and pouted. I laughed at her and used a wing to snuggle her up to my belly as I laid on my side.
"Hey, your belly is soft." She said and giggled when she poked it.
"Yes, unless I harden it with chakra. But that is no need now." I said and let out a gruff puff of air when she poked me again.
"Funny!" she said. I had enough and transformed back into my human self and pulled her closer.
"Namida-chan, it is early and I came home late. Can we get some more sleep?" I asked. Mujaki pouted but her resistance towards going back to sleep was shattered when she yawned. I laughed, wrapped my arms around her and tried to relax. She hugged me as well and after a while her breath evened out. I studied her face when she was sleeping.
'Sometimes I wonder just how much she can possibly resemble me.' I thought before I returned to sleep as well.
--
The next time I woke it was from Temari gently nudging me with her fan and not so gently breathing into my ear. When I stirred, Mujaki started to wake up as well, but Temari crouched down beside her and sang gently in her ear. Moments later Mujaki was in deep sleep again. I watched fascinated as Temari gently picked Mujaki up and carried her to bed. I sat up and cracked my neck when Temari came back, sat down on my lap and wrapped her arms around me.
"What's this? You would rather sleep on the floor with Namida-chan than with me?" Temari asked, faking hurt.
"Of course not, but I didn't want to disturb you. So when we got here, I tucked you in and went to sleep with the dragons. Then Namida-chan came and woke me up and we fell asleep." I explained and Temari pouted.
"I still would have preferred if you slept with me. You'll have to make it up to me you know!" she said and winked her eyebrows suggestively. I had to swallow a sudden lump in my throat, before I grinned.
"Oh, really? Well then, why don't I get started right away?" I said, gently grabbed her hair and pulled her in for a kiss. She moaned happily and deepened the kiss while I moved my hands from her head to the small of her back.
Needless to say, Temari got repaid, with interest as well.
--
"Yo Tsunade-onesan." I said when I entered her office. She looked up from a scroll and smiled at me.
"Oh, the great and elusive dragon returns. Had a nice trip?" she asked, grinning widely at me as I sat down in a chair in front of her.
"Yeah, it was alright. Always fun to see family again." I said and shrugged. Tsunade lost her grin and looked at me seriously.
"The group you rescued has been given houses to stay and citizenship here in Konoha. Also one of them has requested to become Konoha ninja." She said.
"Who?" I asked curiously.
"Her name was Mira if I remember correctly." Tsunade said.
"Oh, no wonder. She was the appointed leader of the group and showed good leading qualities. Have you allowed her?" I asked.
"Yes, I figured she was trustworthy enough." Tsunade replied and stood up. She turned and faced the window.
"Chikara, I am worried. Orochimaru are on the move again. I fear he might attack soon." Tsunade said tiredly. I could see she was stressed out about that.
"Also the Akatsuki is still after Naruto. There is just so much that threatens Konoha right now. I wonder what to do?" she continued. I stood up and walked up to her side. We stood and watched Konoha for a while before I sighed and looked at her.
"Tsunade-onesan. I have no doubt that Konoha will survive. You will also live trough this. I won't let you die." I said while I looked into her eyes. She smiled and shook her head.
"I am old Chikara. The old should die to let the young live." She said sadly. I laughed at that.
"Oh, if you are old, then I must be ancient. But I don't like that philosophy. I want you to die from old age, not war."
Just then Naruto came rushing into the office.
"Obasan, we have a problem." He said and waved his hands in the air to empathise his point. Tsunade and I looked at each other, fearing the worst.
"Don't tell me. It's Orochimaru, right?" Tsunade asked and Naruto got a confused look on his face.
"No, its something worse." He said and I stiffened.
'Worse than that snake bastard?' I thought.
"The old man that makes ramen at Ichiraku is sick. You have to make him feel better Obasan." Naruto blurted out. I almost feel down when I remembered that ramen was a huge part of Naruto's life. Tsunade wasn't so forgiving though. She walked up to Naruto and bonked him on his head.
"Baka. I thought we were under attack or something. Don't scare me like that." She roared and Naruto visibly trembled.
"Sorry Obasan, but you have to heal him. Please." He said with begging eyes. I silently laughed.
'Tsunade is sold. There is no way she can withstand that gaze.' I thought and sure enough, twenty minutes later Tsunade sat by the old man's bed and was examining him.
I don't know why I came along, but I did.
Tsunade sighed and stopped her examination.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Just the flu." She said, told the old man to take it easy and drink lots of fluids before she started to leave. I followed but Naruto stayed behind.
Outside, Tsunade rubbed her temples and sighed again.
"Geez, he made it sound like the man was dying." She said and I chuckled.
"Naruto perhaps thought so, and he thought that his ramen was in danger. You know how much he loves the stuff." I said and we walked together for a bit before I turned to her.
"Tsunade-onesan, you want to come over for dinner?" I asked. She thought for a bit before nodding.
"Sure, that would be lovely, as long as Shizune can come. You don't mind do you?" Tsunade asked with a huge grin on her face.
"Of course not." I said while I rolled my eyes. Tsunade then was about to leave to get Shizune but stopped and turned around.
"What's for dinner?" she asked suspiciously.
"Ramen?" I tried with an innocent look. Tsunade's jaw almost hit the ground before she realised I was joking.
"I don't know. I'll think of something." I said and vanished with a poof of smoke. Tsunade sighed and vanished in her own poof.
--
A couple of hours later, I and Temari were making dinner, a meat dish with fried rice, vegetables and a good sauce. I was half way trough cutting the meat when something jumped on my back.
"Otosan, what do we have for dinner?" Mujaki asked when she had climbed up and sat herself on my shoulders. I sighed and shook my head gently.
"Why don't you ask Temari-chan?" I said and continued cutting the meat. What my little girl said however made me almost cut of my finger in surprise.
"Okay. What's for dinner okasan?" Mujaki asked. Temari gasped twice, first when Mujaki called her 'mother' and secondly when she saw me rushing to the sink to stop blood from coming onto the meat. A handy medical jutsu later and I reached up and lifted down a very confused Mujaki.
"Namida-chan, do you realise what you called Temari-chan?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, why?" she asked, getting more confused by the second.
"Its just that…I didn't think you saw me as your mother." Temari said. Mujaki looked at Temari and smiled.
"Daddy loves you, and I think you are a great person. You cared about me when daddy wasn't here. I don't know how it is to know my real mother, but when I am with you I feel safe, almost like with daddy, but I can tell you things I won't tell him." Mujaki said and Temari smirked at me. I rolled my eyes but smiled anyway. I sat Mujaki back on my shoulders again. I was about to say something, but the Mujaki interrupted me.
"And besides, when you two get married Temari will be my mother anyway, right?" she asked. Temari turned a deep crimson and I laughed at that.
"Haha, well yes. That's true. And I think it's great you think of Temari-chan as your mother. Now the three of us are really a family, right?" I asked and Temari smiled while hugging me (and Mujaki's legs).
"Um, daddy? I think the rice is done now." Mujaki said and Temari spun around and rushed to the frying rice with a startled yelp.
--
We got the dinner ready and I put Mujaki to set the table. Just when she was done, Naruto walked in and ruffled her hair.
"So, how are you today Mujaki-chan?" he asked smilingly. Mujaki matched his smile.
"Good, I have a mother now." she said. Naruto, who had been sitting down on a chair, fell out of the chair. Shaking he got up.
"Mujaki-chan, you just don't get mothers. They are not exactly what you buy at the store around the corner." Naruto said and Mujaki pouted.
"Off course not. But okasan is otosan's girlfriend, and I like her. She's always treated me like I was her daughter." Mujaki said sourly.
"Ah…oh! Now I see. Temari-san is your mother. That actually makes sense." Naruto said to himself. Mujaki rolled her eyes at him and they could hear laughing from the kitchen before Temari came in, carrying the rice and vegetables. She looked fondly at Mujaki and kindly at Naruto while putting the food on the table and going back to the kitchen.
Moments later a knock came to the door and Mujaki rushed to get it. Naruto chuckled at the energy she showed.
She came back with Tsunade and Shizune.
"Hey, aunt Tsunade. I have a mom now." Mujaki said excitedly. Tsunade quirked an eyebrow and looked at Naruto, who were grinning madly.
"So, they decided to get married already?" Tsunade asked Naruto. Just then Temari walked in.
"Who decided to get married?" she asked.
"Oh, so you and ototo isn't going to tie the knot. Then who is Mujaki-chan's mother?" Tsunade said.
"Temari of course." Mujaki said happily and gave her surrogate mother a hug. Temari hugged her back and Tsunade chuckled at the scene. Then I walked in and a huge smiled came to my face.
"Ah, you're here. now if Sakura and Hinata could get here also, we could eat." I said and as on cue, both Sakura and Hinata came home and walked into the dining room.
"Oh, are we having guests?" Sakura asked and I nodded before clapping my hands.
"Let's eat before the food gets cold!" I said and we sat down.
We ate mostly in silence, only interrupted by Naruto and Mujaki telling some stories. I grinned when I heard that Mujaki was the only one to have the correct answer to how to deal with a ambush situation.
Then Naruto swallowed loudly and looked at me.
"What are we going to do with Sasuke and Orochimaru?" he asked seriously and Sakura nearly spat out the water she was drinking.
"Naruto!" Tsunade scolded. "Don't bring that up now. We were having such a good time."
Naruto looked really depressed and hung his head. I looked over at Temari, since I had little clue about what was going on. Then I felt a tugging on my shirt. Turning around, I looked at Mujaki, who were sitting next to me, holding my sleeve in her hand and looking up at me with wonder in her eyes.
"Otosan, what are they talking about?" she asked. I shook my head.
"I don't know Namida-chan. But what I do know is that Orochimaru is a missing nin that is very dangerous, and Sasuke is also a missing nin. He is also one of the last Uchiha alive." I said. Mujaki responded by turning to Naruto, and looking at him real sweetly. The so called 'puppy-eyes jutsu', which apparently all girls knew how to do. Naruto squirmed in his chair.
"Can you tell me, Naruto-kun?" Mujaki said, and her sugar-coated voice gave me the urge to laugh loudly. No way could Naruto resist both the puppy-eyes and that voice. Mujaki is way too cute for that.
"Um…" Naruto said and looked desperately at Tsunade, who shook her head, Shizune, who simply smiled and didn't move, Hinata, who also shook her head and Sakura, who were staring down at her plate. When Naruto saw he wasn't getting any help, he sighed and began telling the story.
"Sasuke was a part of my and Sakura's team when we became Genin. He and I were rivals, and we became friends, although we never told each other. He was the genius that got everyone's attention. He was popular, smart, a good ninja and he came from the Uchiha clan, so he had the Sharingan. We used to train together, and push each other further. But Sasuke was obsessed with gaining power. His whole clan was killed by his older brother and he wanted revenge. So he trained all he could, and didn't bother with his friends."
"Then Orochimaru gave Sasuke a cursed seal. That is a seal that gives a lot of power, but corrupts the mind of the bearer, if he or she gives in. Sasuke wanted more power, so he went to Orochimaru, who wanted Sasuke for his body and Sharingan. Naruto and a hand picked team of Genin went after Sasuke, but were nearly killed by the Sound ninjas that escorted Sasuke. Naruto caught up with Sasuke and they fought. Sasuke nearly killed Naruto, but Naruto held back. He didn't want to kill his best friend. The result was that Sasuke knocked Naruto out and escaped to the Sound." Tsunade said sadly.
"I used to think I loved Sasuke-kun, but what I loved was the image he represented, dark, strong and mysteriously. When he left, I was devastated, but I know now that I was a fool. Sasuke did not love me back, and never had." Sakura said, tears sliding down her face.
"I helped in that rescue mission. I and my siblings were sent from Suna to sign the peace treaty and we helped. I saved Shikamaru from a bitch with a flute that used genjutsu. But we couldn't get Sasuke back." Temari said and I shook my head.
"So, what Naruto is wondering is, is there something we can do to save Sasuke. Right?" I asked and Naruto nodded.
"Well, if he left, isn't he a traitor?" I asked and Tsunade slowly shook his head.
"I don't think so. I think that seal on his neck is the reason why he left. As I said, it corrupts the mind. Anko has a similar seal, but unlike Sasuke, she doesn't get chakra from the seal. That alone proves that Orochimaru modified his cursed seal and based on the rather large personality change Sasuke went trough after the seal was placed on him, changes like becoming more aggressive, more secluded and even more obsessed with training, I think that if Orochimaru hadn't given Sasuke the cursed seal, he wouldn't have left or tried to kill Naruto." She said and both Naruto and Sakura brightened up at that moment.
I thought for a while and suddenly I heard Mujaki speak in my mind.
"Are you going to help?" she asked. I was silent for a while and she became impatient.
"Daddy?" she pressed and I mentally sighed.
'Yes, yes I think I will.' I thought and Mujaki nodded smilingly.
"I think I can help. If I remove his cursed seal, he should go back to normal. And I can remove Anko-san's seal as well, using the same jutsu that removed the Hyuuga seal." I said thoughtfully and Naruto, Sakura and Tsunade brightened up even more.
"Really?" Tsunade asked.
"Yeah, get Anko-san to meet me in the Hokage-tower tomorrow, and I'll remove her seal." I said and Tsunade grinned.
"When are you ever going to stop surprising me ototo?" she asked and I chuckled.
"I don't know. Hopefully I won't. So, have you any idea where Sasuke is?" I asked and Tsunade shook her head.
"No, we don't, but Jiraiya is out searching for clues about Orochimaru and the Akatsuki. He will be back sometime next month." Tsunade replied, and I could sense her worry for her former team-mate.
"Well then, we have about a month to train then. I suggest we start a more rigours training regime to prepare." I said, a sadistic smile on my face.
My three students let out a collective groan, receiving laughs from the rest of us.
--
We finished eating, Naruto, Sakura and Mujaki chatting about how they were going to bring Sasuke out of the dark clutches of Orochimaru. Tsunade and Shizune listened and would sometimes give a comment or two.
Temari and I cleared the table, and was in the kitchen, putting away the dishes.
"So, you really think we will be able to bring back Sasuke? Like he was before?" Temari asked.
"No!" I said sadly.
"He won't return to the way he was. From what I heard Tsunade-onesan say, and my knowledge about cursed seals, Sasuke is well aware of everything he has done, but can't stop it. Probably the easiest way to explain would be as if he is two persons, one of them the Sasuke that Naruto and Sakura wish to rescue, the other, the dark and evil Sasuke that was made by the cursed seal and his trauma when his clan was murdered. That Sasuke is the one in control now, and the other probably wants to stop and return here. When I remove his cursed seal, that evil Sasuke will be gone, and the other will be in control, but he will probably suffer from what he has endured. I don't think Orochimaru is a nice teacher, and bad consciousness is a high probability. Any way, Sasuke will be a changed person when he comes back, and he will also be stronger, since Orochimaru has no doubt been training Sasuke as much as he can." I explained and Temari nodded.
"Almost like Gaara and Shukaku then?" she said and I nodded.
Then I felt a tugging on my sleeve again and looked down, to see my daughter with her puppy eyes jutsu on again.
"Daddy, can I have some dessert?" she asked sweetly and Temari giggled.
I instantly gave up and brought out a little ice cream from the fridge.
"Here, enjoy Namida-chan!" I said smilingly. Mujaki hugged me, gave me a quick peck on the cheek and ran out into the dining room again.
"Kawai gaki!" I said and Temari wrapped her hands around me.
"Kawai Ryu!" Temari said and I laughed.
"Pretty Temari!" I said and she pouted.
"I'm not cute?" she asked and I grinned.
"Oh, yes, but I think you are more pretty than cute." I said playfully. Temari blushed slightly and I roared with laughter.
--
We walked into the dining room again, and sat down by Tsunade. She looked at me seriously.
"Ototo, do you think you will be able to save Sasuke?" she asked and I slowly nodded.
"Don't worry Tsunade-sama. Chikara is so strong that he can't lose." Shizune said and I smiled on the outside. On the inside I wasn't so optimistic. Even my power isn't limitless, and I knew that very well.
"Anyway, thanks for the dinner. Now I want some sake and a game of cards." Tsunade said and I grinned.
"Sorry, but not in this house. We have a little girl here after all." I said and smiled at Mujaki, who were to busy eating ice cream to notice.
Tsunade made some angry noises, but didn't say anything. Shizune looked horror-struck before the whole room erupted in laughter. Tsunade huffed and started pouting, increasing the laughs.
--
Tsunade and Shizune left after Mujaki fell asleep on Tsunade's lap. I said goodbye to the two medics and went to put Mujaki in bed. I was tucking her in when she started murmuring.
"No, otosan, okasan! Watch out! Behind you!" Mujaki said and started tossing and turning. I sat down on her bed and gathered her in my arms. I held her and whispered soothingly to make her calm down. Eventually she did, and after I tucked her in again, I used my abilities to make sure her dream was peaceful, and not the nightmare she just had.
--
When I was sure she was alright, I went to my own room. Temari was already in bed.
"What took so long?" she asked while propping herself up on her elbow.
"Namida-chan had a nightmare. Something about you and me." I said while I got out of my clothes. Climbing into bed, I sighed happily.
"I missed this bed. And you!" I said and pulled Temari closer. She giggled slightly and nuzzled into my chest.
"I missed you too!" she said and we drifted of to sleep.
--
When we woke up the next morning, I got up and made breakfast while Temari took a shower. When she was done, Mujaki, Naruto, Sakura and Hinata had got up as well. We were sitting around the dining table, sharing plans for the day when someone knocked on the door.
Mujaki opened the door and a Chuunin stood there.
"I have a message from Hokage-sama. She wants to see Chikara-san, Temari-san, Naruto-san, Sakura-san and Hinata-san in her office as soon as possible." The Chuunin said and vanished.
"Wonder what Hokage-sama wants with us." Hinata said while Sakura nodded.
"I'm sure it's not anything bad. Come on, let's go!" Naruto said, got up and went to the door.
--
We went to the Hokage office and were greeted by a hole in the door. I thought I recognised Kakashi's shape.
"Wonder what Kakashi did to make Tsunade so mad." I said, mostly to myself but the others heard as well.
"Probably read his filthy book again." Sakura said and Naruto snickered.
"Yeah, probably." I said and opened what's left of Tsunade's door.
--
Stepping in trough the door, I could see Tsunade's anger, from the pumping vein on her forehead. She softened up when she saw it was us though.
"Ah, you are here. Good. Take a seat everyone." She said and mentioned towards the chairs in the room. We obliged and Tsunade placed her hands on the desk, looking serious at us.
"Anko should arrive soon. Are you ready to remove her seal?" she asked and I nodded.
"Yes, I think. I will see when Anko-san gets here." I said thoughtfully. Tsunade sighed and nodded.
--
A couple of moments later, Anko knocked on the door and Tsunade told her to come in. Anko opened the door and stared puzzled at all the people assembled. She then walked in and stood in front of the Hokage desk.
"Hello Hokage-sama. What do you need me for?" Anko asked politely.
"Hello Anko-san. Not much, unless you want to get rid of that seal on your neck." Tsunade said playfully and Anko's eyes widened.
"But that is impossible. The only way to remove it is to kill Orochimaru." She said. Tsunade chuckled a little at that.
"That is what we thought were the only way. Apparently we were wrong. Chikara thinks he can remove your seal by using the same jutsu he used on the Hyuuga cursed seal. But there is a risk involved." Tsunade said. Anko turned to me.
"What risk?" she asked. I looked at her and saw that she really wanted to get rid of that seal.
"If the seal has fastened itself to much on your chakra coils, I might damage them when removing the seal." I said seriously. Anko thought for a while, but Naruto spoke up.
"Will you be able to heal Anko-san if her coils get damaged?" he asked and I slowly nodded.
"Yes, depending on its severity of course, but I think so. Tsunade-onesan will defiantly be able to heal the damage. No doubt. "I said while I grinned at her, and she smiled shyly back.
Anko thought for a little bit before she nodded and walked up to me.
"When can you remove this thing?" she asked with determination in her voice. I stood up and offered my seat to her. she sat down hesitantly, but her look of determination never left her.
"Right now, but are you sure you want to take the risk?" I asked and she nodded. I looked at Tsunade, who nodded.
"Alright, I'll do this now then. When the seal is removed, in the best scenario, you will faint, the worst is that the pain is so overwhelming that I have to knock you out. I must warn you, there will be pain, but not as much as when you got the seal. Are you ready?" I asked and she nodded. I placed a hand on her head and smiled at her.
"I need to see the seal now." I said and Anko took off her brown coat, and showed me her shoulder with the seal on. I studied the seal a bit, activated my eyes, studied the seal a bit more and sighed in relief.
"Good, the seal hasn't fastened itself too hard. I don't think the damage will be bad at all. A couple of days in the hospital with no movement of the shoulder will fix it. Shall we go ahead then?" I asked and Anko nodded. I placed a hand over the seal and it was cowered in my golden chakra. Anko looked puzzled at first, and was about to say something when I closed my eyes. I focused on the seal and wrapped my chakra around it. I saw that it looked like the seal, which was in form of three commas in a circle, had tendrils reaching from the seal to the chakra coils in the shoulder. The tendrils wrapped themselves around the coils and I suspected that in Sasuke's case the tendrils would pump chakra into the coils and use that chakra to twist his mind. But Anko didn't get chakra from the seal so she didn't become brainwashed either.
I realised I hadn't stared removing the seal yet, so I started making my chakra sever the tendrils one after another. It was slow work and I could hear Anko scream in pain. I saw her chakra coils start to loosen up where the tendrils had been wrapped around.
After what seemed a eternity, all off the tendrils were severed and I turned to the seal. I took all the chakra I had injected into Anko's body, and pushed it into the seal. The seal's evil chakra started to be slowly converted from evil to good and eventually the entire supply of evil chakra was converted. In Anko's case it wasn't a lot of chakra, so I let it flow into her body and the seal was gone. I opened my eyes and removed my hand, panting slightly. Anko was out cold, but she had a smile on her face and no black mark on her shoulder. I took her coat and draped it over her shoulders before I took a step back and let out a puff of air.
"It is done. Geez, that took a lot more concentration than I thought, but I took of her seal." I said, turning to Tsunade, who nodded and motioned for the ANBU, which had entered during the seal removal, to pick up Anko and bring her to the hospital.
After the ANBU left, I sat down and Tsunade coughed slightly to get out attention.
"Now that we know that the removal can be done, I want you five to train from now on until Jiraiya comes back. Then I'll issue a S-rank mission to go get Sasuke, remove his seal, and bring him back, alive. But until then, train hard and well, okay?" Tsunade asked and I nodded. Temari also nodded, while Naruto and Sakura jumped up and pumped their fists into the air, both yelling: "SASUKE IS COMING BACK!"
I smiled at their antics and Tsunade smiled as well. I stood up, and turned to the door.
"If that was all, I guess we should start then. It seems my former students are filled with energy, so I just have to burn that away." I said. Tsunade didn't say anything and I left, closely followed by Naruto, Sakura, Temari and Hinata.

We went to a training ground and I turned to face them.
"Alright, this is how we do it. I am going to spar with Naruto, Temari with Sakura and Hinata. Don't use deadly jutsus, but don't hold back either. This is the warm up, and we need to get really warm for the next part of today's training." I said, and I had a sadistic grin on my face.
"Told you daddy is a strict teacher." Mujaki's voice came, and I turned to see her and Kibo walking towards us.
"Yeah, I know that. He trained me before he left Ryu-kuni, and I have never felt that sore ever in my life." Kibo said and I grinned.
Turning
back to the four people I would train with, I smirked and said in a
low tone:
"On second thought, Temari will spar against Sakura,
and Hinata will go against Kibo and Namida-chan. Now, start!" the
last bit I yelled and I and Naruto drew a kunai each and charged each
other. Temari took out her fan and whipped up a huge storm for Sakura
to battle trough, while Hinata vanished and reappeared in front of
her two unsuspecting spar mates. She smiled at them and slipped into
her fighting stance, Byakugan active.
"Chikara-sensei told me to spar with you two. Let's go!" she said and charged at Kibo. Kibo back flipped away and Mujaki charged at Hinata. She pulled back her hand tried to hit Hinata's left elbow, but hit nothing but air. Kibo saw where Hinata had gone and she called out: "Ryupou: Destruction ray". The ray shot towards Hinata, who dodged to the side and the ray flew towards me.

I had my back to it, and was focused on Naruto when I heard the ray close in and just managed to jump into the air before it hit. Naruto also got out of the way, and I grinned at him, before we charged. I allowed Naruto to set the pace, which was pretty fast, almost my full speed in my human form. We clashed and our sparks flew of when our kunai meet. I made sure we were even and that none of us got more damaged than necessary.
Both I and Naruto were panting hard after about ten minutes of fighting, the pace was so fast that if the others had tried to see us, they would have just seen blurs.

Sakura and Temari didn't exactly have an even match. Sakura couldn't come close to Temari because of the constant wind that came from Temari's waving of her fan. Then Sakura got an idea and vanished from sight. Temari stopped making wind and wondered where her opponent had gone to. She looked around but saw nothing that indicated that Sakura was around. Temari took a few steps forward and suddenly she felt the ground beneath her move. Quickly jumping up and out of the way, she saw Sakura fly out of the ground and charge at her. Temari wasn't a close-range fighter, so she tried to put some distance between them, but Sakura followed to closely for Temari to use her fan. Then suddenly a clang was heard above Sakura. She was distracted for a moment and looked up to see a blur vanishing, sparks hanging in the air. Temari used that moment of distraction to jump back.
"Grand tornado no jutsu" she called out, and waved her fan back and forward several times.
"Crap!" was all Sakura managed to say before she was caught up in the tornado.
