Chapter 4

Kushina was making dinner when she heard the door slam. She only caught a glimpse of her daughter as she ran upstairs. She heard her door slam and was very worried. She turned off the fire and wiped her hands before heading upstairs. She made her way to her daughter's room and entered without knocking. Kushina saw that her daughter was in tears.

"Naruko, what is wrong?" Kushina asked with worry. She was very surprised when the teary eyed Naruko gave her a dirty look.

"Like you care. It's all because of you that Naruto said those things to me." Naruko stated between sniffles. Kushina was even more surprised by his.

"What exactly are you talking about? What did Naruto say to you that would make you cry?" Kushina asked.

"He told me that he's done with me and it all because I didn't reply to any of his letters. It didn't help that you told him that I was being a brat. What exactly did you tell him mom? Did you tell him that I was a bully? Did you tell him that was arrogant? What did you tell Naruto that made him say those things?" Naruko demanded as she gave her a harsh look. Kushina lost her surprise and gave Naruko a stern look. Naruko, despite her anger, flinched at the look that her mother gave her.

"Let's get something straight young lady. You will respect me in my household. I don't care how angry you are, I will not hesitate to tan your butt. Now, I seriously doubt whatever I told Naruto about your behavior had anything to do with what he said to you. I don't even think that he's actually done with you. However, I can understand how he's feeling."

"Not surprising, you always take his side." Naruko muttered.

"I'm taking his side because he's in the right. I gave you his letters and do you know where I found them? I found them in the trash, unopened. He at least tried to build a relationship with you but because you feel slighting by him, you ignored him. You cannot have it both ways Naruko." Kushina saw that her daughter understood what she was saying but the look on her face showed that she was going to be really stubborn about this. She just sighed and turned to leave.

"Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. You can sulk if you want but you know that I'm right and your brother is right too." With that, Kushina returned to finish dinner. Naruko just glared at the door that her mother closed. She did know that her mother was right and that her brother was right but she didn't care what they thought. She didn't think that she was that bad and she would always think that. She just sat in her room and sulked like her mother said.

Naruto was making his way to the Akimichi clan compound. It had been a week since he started the revival of Konoha's Military Police. Today would be the final meeting between the clans, the selected people that he wanted to run it and a member of Toshiyuki-sama's court. He had proposed the idea to Toshiyuki-sama who was interested. The proof he had thanks to the work of his god-father helped seal any type of funding that he needed. Lucky, he didn't need that much to start. He had made some really good contacts.

Naruto suddenly looked up and sighed as he caught sight of a small bird. Naruto whipped his hand out, sending a kunai at the bird. He watched as the bird exploded into some type of black ink. He pulled the kunai back with the wire that he had attached to it. He was starting to get annoyed with Danzo's surveillance.

He picked up on the surveillance at the beginning of the week. It was a day after his confrontation with his sister. He figured that she must have spilled the beans to him about what he was trying to do. He figured that the old war hawk would have gotten the hint after he dealt with the first two guys but he wasn't and it was getting annoying. This was something that he would have to deal with face to face and soon.

Naruto reached the Akimichi compound. Before he entered the place, he did a few seals.

"Kekkai: Tengai Hōjin. (Barrier: Canopy Method Formation)" Naruto called out. An invisible, spherical barrier appeared around Naruto. He expanded it to cover himself and a good amount of the area. He walked toward the main building to meet with the others while a black and white hawk decided to leave the area.

Danzo was looking at the young boy in front of him. He had just returned to report his failure.

"This is unlike you. Even if he managed to sense your drawings, it would have been simple for you to create more." Danzo said.

"Yes Danzo-sama but he used the Kekkai: Tengai Hojin. I knew that my creations would not get close enough with that jutsu." the ninja said.

"Very well, you are dismissed." Danzo said to his surbordinate. He bowed again and vanished using the Shunshin. Danzo sat in the dimly lit room and showed a little bit of his frustration. He was starting to get annoyed, dealing with Naruto Namikaze. A week ago, Naruko came to him about what her brother was doing. It raised several questions that he decided to investigate. He didn't learn much but he did learn that the boy somehow purchased the land where the old station house of the Konoha Keimu Butai (Military Police Force). Learning that, Danzo set out to learn what Naruto was planning. However, he regretfully underestimated his opponent.

Naruto caught on to his surveillance on day one. He easily saw through his sister, using it as a type of training. His second attempt forced him to up his security. His second agent was actually brought to his doorstep with a note that said 'Try Again'. It was why he sent in Naruko's training partner and he was defeated as well. Danzo was getting annoyed and he decided to deal with this himself. The lights went out and Danzo merged with the darkness.

Naruto was enjoying his ramen. There was nothing better than ramen, especially Ichirakus Ramen. He especially loved the company in the father-daughter duo, Tenchi and Ayame. The two had always been friends of the family. Naruto loved the ramen since he was a child and would eat there religiously, much to his mother's and father's worry. It also didn't hurt that Ayame was really cute. The two would often flirt with each other and Naruto would have to run when Tenchi came after him. However, it was all in fun and the two welcomed him with smiles.

"So, you're pretty happy today." the fourteen-year-old Ayame said.

"Well, I am eating the food of the Kami (God) with his goddess serving it to me." Naruto explained. Tenchi turned to give Naruto a glare.

"What did I tell you about flirting with my daughter?" Tenchi demanded.

"Just wait old man. You'll be calling me son-in-law soon." Naruto said. Ayame just giggled at his antics. She turned her attention back to Naruto.

"I mean, you seem extra happy. I'm assuming that everything went well?" Ayame said.

"More than well. I got everything ready and I'm confident that it will get pass the council. Once that happens, I can start renovating the old station." Naruto stated.

"You really cared for the Uchiha huh? I remembered when I saw you with those stars on your uniform. You were so happy." Ayame said.

"Yeah and I'm going to do my part to honor them by reinstating their contribution to the village." Naruto said.

"Well, I think you doing a good thing. I don't know if the last Uchiha would be happy though." Tenchi said. Ayame nodded in agreement at that statement. Naruto looked at him curiously.

"You think that he will object to what I am doing?" he asked.

"The boy is nothing but anger. I can understand that he lost his clan but it has not changed him for the better. He might not like the fact that someone else is leading something that his clan led. I would expect him to confront you at some point." Tenchi explained. This made the blond chuckle.

"Let him come. He'll learn that I don't bend that easily." Naruto said. Naruto just ordered another bowl and continued to speak with his friends.

Sasuke made his way toward the tower. He was not happy about what he just learned from one of those fan girls. The wannabe kunoichi congratulated him about the Military Police being reinstated. Sasuke was very surprised by this and demanded the girl to explain herself. With a bit of fear, she explained what was happening and who was spearheading it. Sasuke stormed off to get to the bottom of this.

Sasuke made his way toward the Hokage's office. He bypassed the receptionist and was about barge in when the ANBU stopped him. He glared at the two ninja and was about to say something when they stepped to the side. One of them opened the door that led him inside. Sasuke entered and walked up to Hiruzen desk. The old kage just looked at the anger that was on Sasuke's face.

"So, you learned of what is being planned? Is that why you have come here today Sasuke?" Hiruzen asked.

"So, it is true? You approved the reinstatement of the Uchiha Keimu Butai and gave them our building to Naruto Namikaze?" Sasuke demanded angrily.

"Yes, I did. Naruto presented his proposal and made a very compelling case for its' reinstatement. He paid for the building and has members ready to join. Myself and other members of this council agreed to support this." Hiruzen said calmly.

"How dare you do that?! That was my clan's legacy! You had no right!" Sasuke shouted.

"Careful Sasuke, you are bordering on insubordination and you will watch your tone with me. Let me tell you two facts. The Keimu Butai was gifted to your clan by the Nidaime (Second) Hokage. It was never founded by your clan. Another and more improtant fact, is this." Hiruzen said and pushed a document toward Sasuke. Sasuke snatched it off his desk and began to read. The more he did the more surprised he got.

"No, this isn't true." Sasuke said to himself.

"I think not. That is your father's hand writing, those are his words. Together with Naruto, he planned to integrate others onto the Keimu Butai before that horrible event that left you without a family. If you do not believe me, you can speak to Naruto. We are done here." Hiruzen said. Two ANBU appeared and Sasuke saw that they would remove him if he did not comply. With an angry huff, Sasuke tossed the document and stormed out of the office. He decided to listen to Hiriuzen and confront Naruto.

Naruto made his way into his house. After a successful meeting with the Konoha council and his stomach full with ramen, Naruto decided to get a well-deserved nap. However, he would not get the chance.

"NAMIKAZE!" a voice shouted. Naruto turned to see Sasuke land in his backyard. Naruto could see that he was angry. It didn't take him long to figure out why he was here. Naruto just faced him with a neutral expression on his face.

"So, I guess that you heard the news? You got a problem with that?" Naruto asked.

"You bet I've got a problem? I don't care about that document you created, that building is on Uchiha land and I have not given you permission to use it." Sasuke stated. This made Naruto scoff at him.

"That's a funny statement kid." Naruto said, angering Sasuke. "I don't need your permission brat. You're not the head of the Uchiha. That belongs to him and due to his actions, he has been removed as clan head. You might be the only Uchiha and next in line but you aren't eighteen and you aren't a jonin. Also, your regent doesn't have a problem with me using the building. Instead of glaring at me, you need to talk to them."

"I'm talking to you! I will never allow you to use that building! It is the Uchiha Keimu Butai and that is how it will stay!" Sasuke said.

"Yeah, that's not going to happen. The Konoha Keimu Butai will be up and running in two months or so. You don't have to be there for it but it will happen. Nothing is going to stop it, not even you." Naruto said. Sasuke growled and looked like he was about to attack. Naruto just raised an eyebrow at that. "You really want to do this?" Sasuke said nothing and dashed toward Naruto, prepared to fight. Unknown to either, two shadows watched with interest. One watched with interest while another watched to see Sasuke put into his place.

This were definitely starting to get interesting.
